Atal and interesting report of the proceedings of the free soil Know Nothing National Convention, which commenced its sessions yesterday at Cin" einnati, may be found on the first page. The meeting is composed of the bolters from the conven- tien beld in Philadelphia last summer. Our readers are referred to our despatches under the telegraphic head for the latest news from Washington. The steamship North Star arrived yesterday morning from Havre and Southampton, with one day's later news from Europe, and advices from In- @ia and China. The intelligence is not important. The steamers Washington and Canada are now fully due, with dates to the 10th inst. Additional returns of the recent State election in Wisconsin indicate the success of Bashford, the re- publican candidate for Governor, beyond a doubt. An important seizure of letters was made yester- day by the special agent of the General Post Office, It seems that a portion of the foreign mails brought from Havre by the Vanderbilt line of steamers have been regularly hasded over to private carriers, who deliver the letters and collect the postage, thus vio- lating the United States law, which provides that all ship letters shall only be distributed through the Post Office. An account of the manner in which these frauds were brought to light yesterday by Mr. Holbrook, the special agent of the overnment, up- on the arrival of the North Star, will be found in another column of to-day’s paper. Gov. Pease, of Texas, in his message, has recom- mended the Texas Legislature to accept the United States Congressional bill appropriating seven and a half millions of doHars in full Nquidation of the Texas debt. It is fully believed that the Legislature now in cession will accept the bill. Private letters received in this city from Texas give assurances to the same effect. In three months after Texas ac- cepts the bill the $7,500,000 is to be paid out from the United States Treasury, which will go to the Texas bondholders, and must tend to render money more plenty, by taking that sum from the vaults of the government and putting it into circulation. About $2,000,000 of it will be paid to creditors in New York, and considerable sums to others in Philadelphia and other Southern cities. We translate a very spicy, gossipping letter, writ- ten by one of the principal artists of the Rachel troupe to the Paris Figaro, delineating his impressions of New York and ita social manners and institutions. It is highly amusing, if not instructive. The movements in wheat for some time past have excited considerable interest. Yesterday the re- ceipts by the Hudson river reached about 90,000 bushels, of which 60,000 bushels came consigned to H. A. Kelly, Esq., who had previously received large consignments. These facts have led to inqui- ries as to who Mr. Kelly is. It is rumored that Mr. Kelly has been employed by Mr. Ward, of Bos- ton, in making heavy purchases of grain at the West, and is now engaged in receiving and ship- ping the same. Mr. Ward sends vessels around to him from Boston, which he fills for Cork and a market, or for Southampton, to wait orders. Mr. Ward, it is said, is the agentof, and acts for, Messrs. Baring Brothers, London; and they, it is believed, act for the English or French government—one or both. If Mr. Kelly’s purchases were all intended for England they would be shipped direct. By hav- ing the vessels to go to Cork and to Southampton to await orders, it proves that they have another and ulterior destination. Itis believed that they to @ great extent are to be sent to France, and par-, ticularly to French ports on the Mediterranean, and that some, probably, will go to Constantinople. Barope generally is short of breadstaffs. Germany is short; Italy is short; while France is said to be short at least sixteen millions of bushels of wheat, and it is sapposed that England is short of an aver- age crop about three million quarters. Hence the movement of large houses in Europe for the pur- chase of grain in the United States. The orders sent out by Baring Brothers, it is supposed, have been divided between Mr. Ward, of Boston, and Messrs. Grinnell, Minturn & Co.,of New York; while the latter have employed their own agents and brokers in this and other markets, Mr. Ward has employed Mr. Kelly. The Enropean deficiencies in breadstuf™, if no other insurmountable ob- stacle existed, is of itself sufficient to render @ war between England and the United States impossible. The demand for our breadstnffs, con- sidering the abundance of our supplies, exceeds all former precedent. While the consumers in our large cities ond manufacturing districts feel the force and inconvenience of being compelled to use bread baked from flour varying from (common poor stuff) $9.12 per bbl., wp to foncy extra brands at #10 50 a $1125, and pork at $2250 per bbl., our farmers must be vastly benefitted by this extra- ordinary state of things. As the great bulk of onr population is engaged in agriculture, however much non-cultivators may suffer, we suppose they should not complain, as the country ai large must greatly gain in national wealth. It is on the farmers, after all, that almost everything else has to depend for support. Then let the farmers thrive. The sales of cotton yesterday were confined to about 600 bales. Market closed firm, based upon mid> dling Uplands at about 9$c. a 9jc. Common brands of State flour advanced 12)c. per barrel. Wheat was firm, and prime lots were held at higher rates. Indian corn was firm, with sales at full prices. Pork was more active, and among the sales were 3,000 barrels mess—deliverable in Jauuary and February—at #22 37). Sugars were quiet, but firm. Coffee was steady, with limited transactions, Busi- ness operations were somewhat checked by the in” clemency of the weather. Freights to Liverpool were dull, while they were unchanged to other porte. We publish elsewhere details of the news from Mexico to the Sth inst., a brief abstract of which has been heretofore received by telegraph. General Alvarez had removed the seat of government to ‘Tidtpan, situated eighty miles southwest of the city of Mexico. It was reported that‘after the Ocampo ministerial crisis, a new cabinet had been formed, with Arrioga and Degollado at its head. Important financial reforms had been made. All debts con- ‘rueted by the revolutionary officers are to be paid Dy government. It was said that Vidaurri had for- warded an expostulation to our government relative to the inte incursion of the Texan rangers, and had diexpatched a large force to oppose a second expedi- tion, sent out, as he says, to avenge the defeat of the first one. Gexeral Comonfort could not agree to the povernment policy of his colleagues in council, 40 he resigned, Santa Anna’s speedy return was alluded te by a Mexioan newspaper. ‘ cy correspondent o MinowWiinn (Mexte ©), writip on 17th and 29th of October, furnishes an interesting narrative of all the political and military movements which took place on both sides—Pacific slope and Northern (gulf)—of the Isthmns of Tehuantepec from 7th of January last, when the revolution of the people of Juchetan against Santa Anna was in- augurated, down to the period of the abdication of the Dictator. The Juchiticos were in possession of Oaxcaca, which they had unsuccessfully attacked during the insurrection. The Isthmus had passed through the wildest scenes of anarchy. Towns were plondered, people robbed, villages sacked, pri- soners taken, and four sub-prefects and two alcaldes shot by the attacking parties “of either side. A priest named Lopes held chief command of the forces at Tehuantepec. The travel to the Gulf side of the Isthmus was full of incident. Minatitlan is a poor place, at which a small trade in mahogany is carried on. Owing to the lax manner in which the Mexican officials do their duty, a call was made for the granting of extra power to the consular agents of the United States. Many outrages had been com- mitted on our fellow citizens there. We have received files of Demarara (British Guiana) papers to the 23d of October. The General Commanding-in-Chief in that part of the West In- dies was expected at Demarara from Barbadoes by the mail steamer. A meeting of the Georgetown Town Council was held on the 22d, when Mr. Lyness said that the Inspector-General of Police had told him that the Commander-in-Chief was coming over by the packet from Barbadoes with his staff, and that Colonel Whitfield wished to know whether there would be any objection to their land- ing at the market Stelling, and coming through the market house, as it was wished to receive the Gene- ral with the honors becoming his rank. The Mayor replied that there would be no objection. A very doubtful sort of tribute of respect. The Board of Councilmen assembled last night as usual, but transacted no business of importance. The whole evening was taken up in the considera- tion of stale reports, and the propriety of putting up stoves in the council chambers, by way of guard- ing the members against Iumbago and other diseases which they might be subjected to from the cold weather. The Board adjourned till Friday evening. The Emigration Commissioners held a meeting yesterday, and adopted an address to the govern- ments of Europe, asking their co-operation in pre- venting frauds on emigrants by passenger agents and runners. The emigration this year has been 160,000 persons leas than last year. The Commis- sion is now nearly $60,000 in debt. In the case of Wm. H. Canniff against Mayor Wood, Judge Ingraham, of the Court of Common Pleas, has rendered an elaborate decision, declaring the plaintiff legally appointed Clerk of the Second District Police Court, and entitled to salary due on the Ist of July last. The Cinct ti Free Soll Know Nothing Con. ventlon—Very Curlous and Very Signifi. cant Proceedings. We give a conspicuous place in our columns this morning to our special reporter’s account of the Free Soil Know Nothing Northern Con- vention at Cincinnati, called together by the anti-slavery seceders from the Philadelphia American platform, including yesterday’s pro- ceedings of this most remarkable assemblage of political scene- shifters. * The object of Senator Wilson and the other leaders in this Know Nothing secession move- ment was a complete division between the American party, North and South, and the fusion of the Northern wing with the Seward black republicans upon the Missouri compro- mise question. It is therefore somewhat sur- prising to learn that Thomas HI. Ford, one of the most indignant bolters from Philadelphia, the free soil Lieutenant Governor of Ohio elect, the right-hand man of Salmon P. Chase, has stood up, as the President of this Cincin- nati Northern Free Soil American Council, and flatly recommended the union and harmo- by of the American party all over the country, on a national platform. But when this declaration is followed up by a motion from Mr. Dawson, of I[u- diana, to expunge the Philadelphia twelfth section, and to substitute as the national American doctrine, that slavery is not a na- tional but a sectional issue, and must be settled by the States respectively concerned, our sur- prise is Jost in admiration and curiosity. Whatcan all this mean? Have these Phila- delphia seceders discovered, in the results of our late New York election, that the restora- tion of the Missouri Compromise is a dead humbug ?--that the Seward abolition league is a dead failure ?—that the fusion of the North- ern Know Nothings with it in ’56 will involve a crushing defeat? and that, on the other hand, the re-organization of the American party, North and South, on the broad and general doctrine of aon-intervention on slavery, asa starting point, foreshadows a certain success? Or, what is in the wind?) What means this ab- sence of Gov. Gardner, of Massachusetts—this unexpected nationality of ‘sentiment on the part of Goy. Johnston, of Pennsylvania—-this sudden revolution in the mind of Col. Ford—» this harmonizing union motion of Mr. Daw- son-—what mean all these symptoms of a whole- some reaction, if they do not indicate the complete dropping of all further associa- tion with the Seward alliance by the Know Nothings of all the North, and their junction with the Order in the South in a com- mon American party movement, in both sec. tions, for the Presidency? From the proceed- ings before us we can come to no other con- clusions than that they are the beginning of a new order of things—that Gen. Wilson’s scheme of breaking the American party into ten thousand fragments has recoiled against himself and against Seward and against all concerned, and that our New York election has set- tled the business for the Seward Holy Alliance. We await the definite action of this Cincin- nati Convention on the various conciliatory propositions before them for the complete na- tionalizing ot the American party. The results may not be equal to the auspicious opening of the ball; but as the ruling spirits in it appear to be thoronghly imbued with the idea that the last month or two have vindicated the “sober second thought of the people,” we an- ticipate the complete defeat of Seward and Wilson in the game. What wonderful times are these! Tue Orcanization or Coxcress—-A New Coatition.—Read onr special despatch from Washington on the organization of the House The news from Cincinnati gives a strong color- ing of plausibility to this reported coalition between the democrats and the national Know Nothings in the election of the House officers, Should the rumored plan of operations be per- fected, we may count upon the election of ex- Governor Cobb, of Georgia, as the Speaker. He has filled the office heretofore, and has given satisfaction; and occupies a very advantageous position as @ conservative, Union, hard shell democrat, to begin with. A few days more and we shall know all about it. Keep cool and trast in Providence. “The Union mwst and shall be preserved.” Give us the Speaker and cive us the meseage. Whe Federal Union the Parent of All the | The English War Imbrogite—The Result of Great Branches of American Industry. Perhaps im the history of governments there never before has been exhibited an amount of ignorance, folly and duplicity equal to that shown by the combined American and Euro- pean abolitionists in their efforts to overthrow the federal conetitution. About twenty years ago they organized a party in this country. For many winters and summers—when Hale was @ democrat and Seward was a whig—when Van Buren was a planetary star of a great party, and not at the tail of a drivling comet— when Jackson was President and the acknow- ledged chief of the democracy—when Clay was in the vigor of manhood, in the pride of intellect, strong as the embodiment of a gal- Jant, patriotic and chivalrous host of national men—then it was that the abolitionists were a shunned and a degraded people. They were regarded as the harlote of our political system —abandoned outlaws—lost to every sense of patriotism, to every just conception of duty, to every obligation of faith, to every instinct of justice, and to every compunction of con- science, During the present season this party culminated in the republican league, in the ac- tive service of undermining the constitution, and under the immediate leadership of Willian H. Seward, the prelate of our political dispen- sation. These twenty years of peaceful and success- ful industry, which have served to raise up into something like formidable proportions this abolition party looking to the dismemberment of the Union, have been years of marvellous progress in science and discovery by the American people. As if anticipating the growth of a formidable and daring band of traitors bent on the destruction of the repub- lic, Providence, it would seem, raised up in our midst vast works of impregnable defence and fortification. Amongst these, and most prominent, are the electric telegraphs, the railways, internal and external commerce—the very physical contigu- ration of the country, its long line of sea coast, its great lakes, the course and volume of its rivers, from North to South—all internetted by the discoveries of science and the hand of in- dustry. Within that time the plain of the lakes has been rescued from the savage and studded with magnificent cities ; the valley of the Mis- sissippi has been transformed into a garden of production, and teems with the conquests of man and the comforts of home. California and Texas have been added to the Union, ex- tending our commerce to the centre of the Gulf of Mexico, and spreading it over the Pacific Ocean. All our inland waters have been co- vered by our messengers of trade; the great oceans have been reduced to a few days navi- gation ; Europe has been brought nearer to us than was Lake Michigan; population and wealth have everywhere increased ; prosperity is everywhere apparent; contentment is the lot of all. - In the midst of these wonderfal conquests, and foremost in its service to man and in its effects wpon the institutions of the country, is the electric telegraph. It is the nervous sys- tem of the republic, having its origin in and giving action to its intellectual system. It is the language of politics, economising mind as much as commerce and trade. It is the great equalizer of the value of products, by the ra- Pidity in which it communicates the knowledge of supplies and the existence of demands. It is the representation of money, the medium of exchange ; the organ of social and political unity. It is the detector of crime, the adjunct of the police, the friend of order, and in the very nature of its business, by its extension over all the States, by its strictly national of- fice, the enemy of every species of disloyalty to the federal system. Amongst all the inven- tions of modern times the electric telegraph may be said to stand foremost as the represen- tative of the existing order of things. It de- rives its position and its profits from the busi- ness of the States. It speaks for the Union; it is not even formed by State links; it has no strictly local office any more than it has a local language. The recent discoveries in this branch of science to which we have called public atten- tion, are another step from infancy to manhood, by which facility and accuracy of utterance have been greatly increased and improved. The time is soon coming in the progress of this great modern invention, when newspapers will contain little else besides the reports furnished from all parts of the world by the electric tele- graph. It will thus by degrees extend its power, and become the great organ of thought and communication, if we may so speak, for the whole people. Had there been some means of doubling by a single decree the specie of the world, its effect upon that article as a me- dium of trade would not have been greater than has been the operations of the telegraph upon commerce and exchange. It is not too much tosay thatits increased facilities afforded to trade are equal to those afforded betore its existence by all the gold and silver in the world. As a political instrument it is destined to be scarcely less effective. It is the advancing power of science drawing our whole country and the world into closer social and political intimacy. There is an old maxim, “ Absent, always wrong.” There will be no absenco— nobody will be from home. It will bring mea together, make them acquainted, soften their asperities, strengthen the comities of life, re- move prejudices, enlighten the understanding, ripen friendship and perpetuate our political union, It will consolidate the public judgment: by laying before all unerring testimony con- cerning the motives of the several tacts. We live in an age of extremes. Men are no longer satisfied with that happy medium which is sure to promote the highest states of order and prosperity, We are distinguished for great merits and great faults—great wisdom and great folly—great good and great evil. The latter ingredient is perhaps more perfectly re- presented in American politics than in any other country on the globe. It is natural that it should be so—a necessary consequence of our civil polity, under which all are orators, oracles, counsellors and governors. @his free cove- nant of our system has let Wse upon society an army of political quacks, whose nostrams, of course, will cure all diseases, Like pre- tenders in the profession, and everywhere else, they are the special friends of humanity — oracles of reform—moral and political distn- fectante—thorough students of their owa works —noisy alarmists, who cry “fire,” but never soil their hands in extinguishing it. Perhaps they are useful members of society. Provi- dence sometimes conceals blessings beneath Theafe disguises. It is not yet clear that litical clergymen may not even do some goo confer omg bencliis upon their {liow mea po- {~ Twe Cabinets at Washingten—Merey ve. Cushing. All the world knows, or ought to know, that the administration of Mr. Pierce has been, and continues to be, blest with two Cabinets—« re- gular Cabinet and a Kitchen Cabinet—and that ‘William L. Marcy is at the head of the one, that Caleb Cushing is the chief of the other, and that the casting vote between the Premier and the Kitchen is subject to the caprices and vacillations of the President, whose official po sition makes him supreme over both the action of the premier and the counsels of the Kitchen. It is also well known that these two Cabinets are as hostile to each other as the watch-dog and the wolf—that the regular Ca- binet is indolently pacific and conciliatory, while the Kitchen is as full of the free filibus tering spirit as General William Walker—-that Marcy, in brief, is an “ old fogy,” while Cash- ing is a young thunderbolt of “ manifest dee his brings us to the upshot of the existing paper war between John Bull and Brother Jonathan. IJt has happened (a mere accident) that in reference to this Crampton enlisting business, the President has sided with the Kit- chen; and so Cushing, instead of Marey, has spoken for the administration —that’s all. The Kitchen has been faster than the Premier—it has got ahead of him, secured the ear of the President, and on the spur of the moment he hag given this subject over to Cushing, and requested Marcy to keep quiet till his official interposition should be requir- ed, The position of Marcy, in some re- pects, resembles that of Mr. Webster in the Tyler Cabinet. Mr. Webster gave dignity and stability to the Tyler administration, and he remained init accordingly till he thought hecouldsafely retire. So with Marcy, to some extent, in this administration. Trae, he is not the great man that Webster was; but still he is the conservative main pillar of Mr. Pierce’s mixed free soil and secession Cabinet commission, uch as it is. We shall not deny that Marcy is attached to his eight thousand a year. He isthe author of that party maxim that “to the victors belong the spoils,” but still, we dare say that it has required a large exercise, on his part, of patriotism, forbear- ance, resignation and perseverance to keep his post under the constant humiliations and an. noyances to which he hasbeen subjected from Cushing, Forney and the Kitchen Cabinet, He bas probably cherished a malicious plea- sure in combatting and thwarting their schemes to oust him, and take the filibustering whip-hand of the government for the succes- sion. It has been a continuous battle between the doctrines of “old fogyism” and “Young America”—between the regular and the Kitchen Cabinet—between Marcy and Cush- ing, tor the next Presidency. All the old peace men, “old fogies” and old Jadies in the country have a high respect for the quiet, pacific, respectable and highly con- ciliatory diplomatic character and principles of Marcy—all the “manifest destiny” democ- racy, the Cuba democracy—the war democra- cy of the Young American type—are dis- gusted with Marcy and side with Cushing and Forney. And they have kept the old Premier on the defensive from the first incep- tion of the Ostend Presidential plot dowa to this day. The mission of Soulé is a striking illustration of the conflict of jurisdiction be- tween the official and the Kitchen Cabinet. The instructions from Marcy were official; but Soulé had other instructions from “the power behind the throne” in the Kitchen, which he doubtless thought the President would stick to if brought to the scratch; and so Mr. Soulé accepted hia private suggestions, rather than his public in- structions for his guidance, his own inclinations lying exactly in the war channel. Can anybody suppose that that Aix-la-Chapelle-Ostend mani- festo was a blind venture, resting upon chance for the support of the administration? No; it was the Kitchen Cabinet programme, which was to turn Marcy out and give “Young Ame- rica” the helm. But the President failed to stick; and the forthcoming revelations of Mr. Soulé will probably tell the rest of the story. This British enlistment imbroglio is a chip of the same block. The warlike instructions of Cushing are the result of a violent effort of the Kitchen to supplant the sleepy foreign po- licy of Marcy. The President has been fasci- nated with the temptations of a hittle war capi- tal against John Bull. Cushing has instilled it into his head while Marcy was asleep; Forney has seconded the mation, and a nice breeze is the consequence. But there will be no war. Mar- cy is roused—he is indignant—he has doubtless had a round talk with Mr. Pierce, and given Cushing a piece of his mind about these saucy letters of his, justly deserved, bat not alto- gether expedient in a Wall street view of the subject. Mark, too, our prediction—Cushing will write no more letters on the subject. Marcy will take hold, has taken hold, has waked up, and will drive the Kitchen Cabinet down stairs again. He will patch up @ peace, —a diplomatic compromise ; and if Crampton has to go, he will perbaps dine with him on the eve of his departure, to show that there is nothing in it. Cushing, having made some capital at home, and a considcrable noise abroad, will still be available, upon a pinch, for the second place on the ticket of the Cincinnati Convention: and he may be satisfied—Marcy having restored peace, retains the affections of the old fogies, and he may be satisfied; Mr. Pierce will be satisfied ; John Bull, recovering from his fright, will be satisfied ; and Wall street will be satis fied. Only wait for the voice of Marcy in the President’s message, Trish Arps and Secret Movements. —When the British press tremblingly announced that a formidable Irish expedition was fitting out in this country with a view of wresting from England her Celtic dependance, we thought, and every one thought, there was not a shadow of foundation for such a grievous fright on the part of our trans-Atlantic coun- tries; bat recent and simultaneous movements of the Irish all over the country—their forma- tion into secret socicties—the action of the clergy—the persistence of the great masses even in opposition to their spiritual advisors — indicate a most extraordinary state of thiogs, We yesterday noticed the proceedings of the Irish in Newark, New Jersey, in this direction, and the significant fact that the holie clergy had entercd a most solemn deaunciation against the movement. Perbaps it hae been observed that recently, in the chief councils of the Ca- tholic institutions of this country, great pains have been taken to incaleate the most loyal | obedience to the civil authorities.

This being a rather fat sop, one or two men, as they may settle between themselves, will be relected from each party, and, as they say down South, go cahoots,” that is to say, share the spoils. Whether they will succeed in this scheme remains to be seen. If the twelfth section men—who are exceed wgly bitter against the republicans and Seward—vote with the administration, thereby recaring them a Speaker—and it is known here that this imbecile and cor- rupt dynasty will sacrifice everything else to accomplish that object—you may rely upon it that the administra- tion men will, in return, go over body und breeches, and vote with the twelfth section Know Nothings. This is a bold, and it may prove a dangerous move for the ad- ministration.
