NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, APRIL 19, 1856. THE PRESIDENTIAL QUESTION. Governor Wise, ot Virginia, Goes for James Bechanan—Major Andrew J. Doneison gracefully Accepts the Pniladelphia Ame- rican Nomination, GOV. WISE’S LETTER. The following letter from the Hon H. A. Wise, determining the preferences and action of Virginia at the approaching National Democratic Convention, to be held at Cincinnati, addressed to the Corres- ponding Secretary of the “ General Buchanan Com- mittee of the State of New York,” has been handed to ws by its Chairman and Recording Secretary, James Campbell, Esq., and C. D. Brown, Esq., M. D.u— Dear — LS rsa ows of the 23d ate Sovaiion of inquiry of which you sre the media, As to the presentation of my own name for nomination or the Presidency, 1 can only say that I have had no part 1856. to day, wot riuhhold ite us rota my and sey thou tat its use .) think that ‘it can be fairly made to igor of the bg T was, at the last Convention, nomination, and ‘the cause of the country the avowed friend of Mr. would have so declared coeas. desire that the Virginis democracy shall and I am committed only to their pre- ference, whatever it be, within the range of legitimate setection, go with the Virginia t into the Dattie, and remain with it througn the fight until death or nsy.vania has always sood by Virginia, from the days or 5'mon Snyder ana Thos.

Virginia o! mo candidate, and will not sikely vote for apy son of ber own unless her sister States enall call ‘apon her to present her preference to the Convention. It she presents no son of ner own in the firs instance, my belief is that on the first ballotings in coavention her vote will be cast for Mr. Bachanao with an earnest, hevest desire to have bim nominated. If his name fails, then Virgicia wi'l expect Pennsylvania to gon'ong with her for ner preierense. And I say this without rejecting ether States or candidates, for whoever is nomiaaied sy the Convention at Cincinnati, on a sound democratic form, will be supp*ried by Virginis, and she desires exelude no candidate from having bis name prop sed. She will heartily go for Mr. Pierce, Mr. Douglas, or any ther sound man of the North, anc sets up equal pretea- sions only for s son of ber ewn or the Syuth. She would, doubtless, loosing to men alone, prefer one of her own sons tor, exampie, Mr. Hunter, of the Sena e, or some ether; but the proposal of the name of one of her s2n8 she wou d defer to her sister S'ates, and to none more ‘ially than to Pennsylvania. ‘or myself I prefer that Mr Bachanan’s name shall be resented to the National Convention—indeed, that tre Id of selection shall be as large as possible —tna’ the elaims of every good and great man who has.a hold upon ‘the masses of the people, without regard to seczion, oe thought of and tairly considered, in reference to the po- palar wil), and not to the seltich interests of mere politi- ctans; and then every S.ate regiment wil be marched up to tue grand dem seratic encampment, with high hopes of being tne banner corps and of glad'y and gloriously laad- fog on to a8 signal moral a6 well as pelitical victory. I ge you thet the ‘Od Guard’’ of Virginia will tread “with the tramp of the serried host,” regularly 1a the Yine against the foe, and do or die in any part of the fila of conflict where duty and order may commend. I am, sir, yours truly, HENRY A. WISE. ME. DONELSON’S ACCBPTANCE. The following correspondence appears in the Rich- mond Whig. It explains itself:— PuitapevPnta, Feb, 26, 1856. ‘Fo Hoy.

In discharge of this duty, the undersigned are happy to vail themselves ot the opportunity i. affords them, to express their personal gratitisation in the choice made by the Convention, and to congratulate you upon aresult 30 less honorable to yourself than auspicious to the wel- fare cf the country.

Tvur Grove, near Nashville, March 30, 1856, GENTLEuxn—I cid not receive until yesterday your of- fieial note of the 26:h of February last, informing me of my nomination to the office of Vice President by the Ame: icao party, and asking my acceptance ot the seme. For the flattering terms in which you have communi- ented this proceeding, | beg ‘¢ to offer you my sincere thenks. I accept the position assigned me by the Ameri- ean party with a just sense, I trust of the responsivility belonging to it. 1 attended the Convention with no ex- tion that such an honor awaited me; and if my own eiapsaed wishes could have been consuited. it would Ihave ‘alien upon some other member of the American , in whose ranks are so macy distinguished indivi bdetrer known to the country and bettsr prepared by experience for the high duties of the station, should the of the people be in accord with that of which you are the organ on this cecasion. But acting upom the maxim Jett us by the great men of the early days of our repub- Ue, that public office should be neither sought nor de- lined, I yield to the judgment of those who have thought that my name might of service in sivancing the im- portant objects which constitute the American party. Our leading ides is that the two old parties, democratic and whig, have ceased to exert their former heal.hfal in- fluence in the management cf the public interest, and that, without the intervention of reforms which they can never effect, the beloved constitutiin and Union, ve- queathed to us by our forefathers, will not long be pre- For the most of the evils with which we are threatened at the present period the administration of President Pierce is evidently reeponsible; but instead of finding bis Ry engaged in the prosecution of measures to ave Canger he has brought upon the land, we see it more active than ever in scatiering the seeds ef sectional strit+ When General Jackson came into the Presidency ne scknowledged in his imaugaral address the obligation of tthe Executive to restrain the patronage of the federai rnment, 60 that it +hould not be brought imto con- with No gpg of elections. But modern dewo- Oracy stands in direct antagonism to this obiigation. ‘There is searcely an election precinct ia the Uaited States which bas not witnessed the most shameful iaterteren se with elections by the agents of the federal governm-nt we in the name of democracy. In former times, when parties were created by patri, ic and national sentimens, upon measures of general ‘2. ‘terest to the whole coun:ry, we never heard that » mea- gure could be ceciared democratis im ene place and not democratie in snother, by leading men protessing to ve- Jong to this party. Yet we see this enarmity exhloited iy by the party press in the pay of the presen: Exeeu- tive, The Recessery result of such corruption, if not successfully opposed, must be to destroy all politieal mo- rality, and to continue power in unfsithful and incompe- tent hands by the mere influence of the money derived from the taxes which are paid by the people for far Gifferen: purpores. It is undeniable that the nism now prevailing between the North and the South is mainly attributable to the political artifice which has enabled men holding direetly opposite opinions on the power of Congress over the institution of slavery in the Territories, but yet professing to belong to the rame democratic party. The Nebraska-Kansas act is constantly called by one pertion of the demo- erats a law which will prevent the extension of slavery to the Territories, and by another portion a aw which will enabie the South to carry slavery to the Ter- Titoriee. By the same fallacy, secession, nullifise-ion, abolition, and ail other isms have founa a shelter unier ‘the flag of democracy, expiained as it is by modern inter- eters. 5 In former times, also, our best patriots, without dis tinction of party, epoke cf the necessity of guarding the Dallot box from the cangers of foreign influence, and of Keeping separate the Church and State; aad of uhe advan- ‘tage to be derived from a frequent recurrence to the ear- Mer advice of our fathers, whion inculeated » reverence for the compacts of the constitation, avd the abstinence from whatever tended to form geographical parties e ray one section of the Union ggainst another.

J. DONELSON. Third Avenne Raltroad. TO THE EDITOR OF THE HBRALD. The article in your paper of Wednesday states that this company bave attempted to smuggle through the Bowrd of Aldermen @ project to charge the inhabitants of the upper part of Yorkville and Harlem ten cents fire, The petition of the Third Avenue Railroad Company was heard before the Committee of the Board of Aidermen last fall, at three different public meetings. The inhabitanta ot Yorkville. at the time it was before the Board of Al- dermen, held s public meeting and appointed a committee to confer with the President of the road: aed that com- mittes called ap a¢journod meeting at Yorkville, on the uth of February, where they recommended the passage of the resolution now before the Board of Aldermen, The inbabitante of Harlem held a pubiic meeting on the 12th of January, and similar resolutions were adopted. It is entirely untrue that the acti on of the railroad is unknown, or that avy underbanded attempt has been made to obtain this resoiuticn in the Board of Aldermen. TRUTH. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. MONEY MARKET. Fuuay, April 18—6 P. M. The market was slightly duller to-day, with increased demand for money. As usual, everybody expecting an inflation on the strength of the peace news, stucks have rather gone the other way. To the trade of the city and the country at large the symptom is a healthy one, as tbindicates that the merchants are using in their busi- ness the funds which have lately bern employed in buoying up stocks. bolid dividend paying securities, like Params, Michigan Southern, Galena and Chicago, and Reading, have ggown slightly dearer since the news; but all the bubbles of the day are lower from an eighth to a half per cent. No variation bas taken place in the bord Mist. Chicago and Rock Island has been feverish since the corner calumniated; but it maintained itself to-day at about the same price it commanded yesterday morning. At the second board the market was buoyant. Panama advanced 3 per cent; Michigan Southern 1. In other stocks there was no change worth reporting. The impression is caily becoming stronger and stronger that we are upon the eve of & very active speculation in the stock market. There is in the good sound stocks # margin for an im- Frovement, and there is no doubt but that margin will be tradually covered. A steady appreciation of a perma™ ent eight and ten per cent dividend paying railroad stocks, must take place. The money market and the public mind are in favor of such a saovement, and it can” not be resisted. The George Law announces that the river boats on the San Juan were laid up at Punta Arenas, the agent Scott being left without money or provisions. He intended to discharge the men under his command and lay up the boats. The advices from the West in regard to the business on the railroads are veryzencouraging. The Toledo Com- mercial states that on Thursday, the 10th inst., 1,760 passengers, in twelve passenger cars, were carried West on the Southern) Mishigan road. The fares amounted in the sggregate to $10,560. The resipts of the Cleve. land and Toledo road for the first two weeks of April were $62,000, equal to about $135,000 for the month, which is $15,000 beyond the estimate. The same two weeks lest year, gave $52,000. The first week on the Michigan Southern road was $65,000—the largest receipt ever taken. Of this $44,000 was for passengers, and $21,000 for freight. The train on the Wisconsin Lake Shore road on Thursday last wen’ into Milwaukie with nine full passenger cars, The earn- ings for April are estimated by the Superintendent $25,000, which, for forty-five miles of road, is large. The Milwaukie and Mistissippi and Milwaukie and [a Crorse roads are doing # very large business. The latter is now cpen to Beaver Dam, 61 miles from Milwaukie, and already twen y locomotives and three hundred freight cars have been provided for doing the business offering itself.

The Washingten, which sails to-morrow for Southamp- ton and Bremen, will mot take out a hundred thousen4 dollars in specie. We bave received the report of the Minnesota Mining Com pany, from which we note thet another dividend of $10 per share bas been declared. This mine has divided $280,000 among its stockholders during the last four years. In connection with this the revival of the Mining Board, and the spirited business thereat deserves notice. Few new companies have been introduced as yet; bat reveral old acqusintances—among which the Gardiner Gold sppears to have held its own as well as any—are daily dealt in. The Fort Wayne and Mississippi Railroad have pub. Ushed a rt, in which they say that on all the su’ § scriptions s sum of only $50 22 has been collected. They have ccmmeneed work, however, by the construction of a few yards of grading near Fort Wayne. A new railroad, to be called the North, East and South- west Alabama Railroad, is about to be texen in hand by a company in that State. It is to run from Chattanoga, Tennessee, to Marion, Mississippi. The annexed statement exhibits the quantity and value of foreign dry goods entered at this port for consump tion, for warehouse, and the withdrawals from ware- house, during the week ending and including Thursday, April 17, 1856:— Movuments Iv Forman DRY Goons, Brdered for Conswmpoum.

Indeed, a smart decline has been submitted to, and should goods continue to arrive for some time longer, at the rates at,which they have been imported for the past few weeks, we may expoct a break down in prices, The jobbers buy sparingly and cautiously, yet this will not prevent our importations be- ing forced off at auction, When importers slacken up foreign manufacturers may ship direct to factors here with orders to sell—if not in the usual way—by auction. Bat such « state of trade, from its irregalar and anheal- thy nature, soon works its own eure. When goods come to be sacrificed, those whojsupply them and stand the losses will soon be foreed to ehange their oourse or lose their capital. Dry goods, like other branches of trade, are subject to fluctuations and chonges. We find that s few years has suffied to change {vw location in this city from the east to the wont side o the town—there having been a sort of general migra tion {rom Pear) street to Broadway and the cross streets leading from it to the North river. The wholesale business is every year increasiog at the principal Western towns, ruch as Cincinnati Louis and Chicago, all of which did a larger wholesale business last year than usual; and the time may arrive when they may form the principal points of distribution. Tae Southern cities are qlso increasing in the whclesale or életributing trade. Nevertheless, New York must main, tain her pre-eminence as the chief importing emporium, ‘and instead of sending forward goods from broken cases and peckages, she will send them on in their original form, on an increased seale, to other potnta of distriou- tion. Collections continue good, and the failures limited. The chief menetaM dificwition are experienced in sec. tionr of country at the West, where the heavy decline in breadstufis and provisions has been most felt. At the South and Southwest money is represented to be abun- dant, chiefly owing to the great rise in cotton; and con- sequently, we bear of few failures im that direction. | The exports of cotton cloths from this port from ths 1st of January to the 8th of April, 1856, have amounted to 10,025 packages, agsinst 6,569 tor the same period in 1855; and from Boston the export this year has reached 9,723 packages, against 3,028 in 1855. In domestic goods we have to ui tice that brown sheet. jpge and shirtings have been steady; heavy sheetings were firm at 7c. 8 8¢., and light standard goods steady at 6%c. a 7c. The demand was moderate for all kinds. Drills were in fair demand for export, at 720. « 8¢.; bleached sold at 8Xc., and blues at 9346. Corset jeans were unchanged. Osnaburgs were in increased supply, ‘especially of common grades, with a steady home trade. Denims were in fair demand, without change of moment in quotations. Stripes and ticks were much less active, with a better stock; while prices were tolerably wel! sup. ported. Cotton duck continued in good demand, without change in prices. So far there has been no corresponding change im the value of manufactured cotton goods with the enhancement in the value of raw cotton. As respects foreign goods, although the importers and obbers have dome @ fair business, greater than that of the same period last year, but not what they expected, yet the heavy iwportatious recently made have had a depressing influence on the market, and prices are gene- rally lower, except in new and desirable styles of g20ds, which are indemand for the city and country retali trade and have become more or less scarce. French dress, and fancy silks, and ribbens, &c , are said also to favor purchasers. 280 do..... b60 15000 10 Wis Lake Shore. 10°00 50 do.... .060 500 SC, Hudson River oy 96000 248 chan Cenk.o 95 25000 do. sc BT 45 eseeeeDLS 96% S0OCCHIRRIGGRRbds 95 S001 & Tol2dmbs 56 8000 Goshen Line ba 85 6 wbs Bans of N A, wis 45 Metropolitan Bk, 1103¢ 25 Bk of Commerce. 111 60 Penn Coal Co. bs0 101% 521 do. 101 15 &t Nicho: 966 20 Park Bank 99 100 Canton Co...,b60 2334 100 Dei&Hud CCo.8t0 128 650 Camp Ci Co. 23 100 N J Zine Co. 2% $2 N ¥ Cen RR. 2 100 do, 86% 10 New Jersey RR.. 121 10 do.. 121% 50 100 Mic So& NIR..c 98 550, 400 Nic Trans Co.... 14 BOARD. $1000 Missouri 6’s. 84%; 50 shs Erle RR. ..830 10000 do.. 81 do 100 shs Cum C Co, 100 do..... 100 Hiwasse Mg Co. 3 100 Panama Ks..b60 10434 60 0....., DOO 10436 300 N Y Cen RR,..3d 9136 700 do...
