Owing to the prevalence of a severe thunder storm last night, accompanied throughout by vivid lightning, our telegraphic despatches, particularly from Cincinnati, are necessarily very brief. @ar reporta from the Democratic National Con- vention are up to the adjournment at noon yesterday. ‘The Committee on Resolutions, at the opening of ‘the morning session, presented the platform. It is given in its proper place elsewhere in our columns. it re-affirms the platform adopted at Baltimore in 1852; denounces the Know Nothings; declares in favor of the principles of the Kansas-Nebraska act, the construction of the railroad to the Pacific, State rights and the Union, free trade through- ut the world, the Monroe docirine, the transit across the Isthmus of Panama, sympathy With the regenerators of Central America, and se- curing an ascendancy in the Gulf of Mexico. The resolutions respecting internal affairs were adopted with unanimity. On those that refer to exter- nal objects some difference of opinion arose, and the Convention adjourned to allow mem- bers an opportunity of interchanging senti- ments with one another on the subject. The proceedings before the Credential Committee with reference to the quarrel between the New York factions, caused great excitement. After a protract. ed session the committee resolved to recommend the Convention to admit portions of the soft and hard delegations, the proportion of each to be based upon the vote for Congressmen in 1353 and 1855. The eommittee also declared the soft section to be the regular organization of the party in this State. The friends of Judge Douglas have, it is said, withdrawn him from the field. The Mational Conncil of the American firty held its second day’s session yesterday in Knicker. bocker Hall. The proceedings were of an important character. The resolutions of the last Philadelphia Convention, abolishing secresy and inaugurating the party as an open political party was, after a long debate, adopted as the voice of the Council by an almost unanimous vote, only two members recording their names in the negative. This action affects not merely the National Council, but the State and subordinate Councils. There was much diseussion, and a very queer decision in the case of a contested seat of a delegate from the Fifth district of New York. The deiegate, who was admittedly elected by the properly called and organized Convention, was excluded because he declined to state explicitly that he would support the nomination of the Philadelphia Convention. This unfair proceeding caused the withdrawal from the Council of delegates from Illinois and Rhode mmittee on Resolutions reported a re- ‘ong terms in denunciation of ner outrage. This gave rise to £0) the Broo much discussion, in which John Minor Botts, of Va., Humphrey Marshall, of Ky., and others, parti- cipated. The resolution being modified, on the suggestion of Mr. Botts, was finally adopted. New officers for the ensuing year were ballotted for. Mr. E. B. Bartlett, was reelected President of the N Council; Mr. Erastus Brooks elected Vice President; Mr. Deschler,of Md., re-elected Corresponding Secre- tary; Mr. Crane, of Ohio, Treasurer; Mr. Stephens, Recording Secretary, and Mr. Goodwin, of New ain. A yoteof thanks to the President and the Council, at 6 P M., adjourned. is some business of a general and financial character sti remaining to be transacted, and the Council will meet again this morning for that pur- pose. The National Industrial Congress, so-called, en- tered upon its cleventh annual session yesterday. There was but a slim attendance—ten men and one Jady—the latter the present Mrs. General J. Sidney Jones, and former Mrs. Panny Lee Towmend. The only business transacted was the paclliminary steps for an organization, and the passage of a resolution ring the session of the Congress, which seven day htly meetings in the City contir Hall’ Park. ‘The steamship Black Warrior arrived at this port yesterday, with later dates from Havana. nr cor- respondents, writing on the 30th ult., state thut the United States steamships Susquehanna aml FPalton had left that port for Key West. A good deal of excitement was created by the report of the official recognition of the Walker-Rivas government by the Cabinet at Washington. There was no news from the Spanish expedition against Mexico since the aay it sailed. The steamer Pizarro had been de- tailed to act as a despatch ship between the com mander of the squadron and General Concha. War with Mexico is imminent, for it is said if President Comonfort should not settle the claims of Spain immediately, a second division of the fleet, consisting of eight war vemels, with several transporte, conveying troops, will be des. patched to operate against him.

A milit wwerved in cThe £ rio ne circum previous rates were maintained. In the Philadel phia market cattle sold quick at from 8} cents to 10j cents perpound. Sheep, being in large suppl y, sold for 3} to 4 cents. The steamship Niagara, from Liverpool, way dates to the 24th ult., three days later tha’ 4 ghoge previously received, arrived below Halifr x about five o'clock yesterday afternoon, but the germ pre- vented the telegraphic operators trans gitting any thing over the wires except the mere ? ssouncement of the fact.

Mr. Mathews, erroneously ‘reperted yesterday as having sailed in the Canad‘, will, as we are inform- ed by our corcesponden’., remain in that city a fort- night longer. Im the Board of .Aldermen last evening, the mi- novity report of tte special committee on the loca- tion of ttre Eastern market boats, in favor of locating said boatsat the foot of Broome street, was adopted. The report of the Councilmen, in favor of paying tor carriage hire up to the present date, was amerd- ed so as to limit the amount to one hundred dollars for each member of the Common Council, and adopted. The Board resolyed to meet on Friday next, and every successive evening of each week until the session is completed. In the Board of Councilmen the resolution to in- crease the salary of members to eight dollars per day came up in committee of the whole, and, after a good natured discussion, was finally defeated. A pro- position to raise the salary of the Superintendent of Lands and Places experienced a similar fate. The annual meeting of the New Jersey Railroad and Transportation Company was held yesterday at Jersey City. After the usual formal business a col- lation was given, at which speeches were made by Chancellor Walworth, of New York, J. P. Jackson, Esq., Dr. Goble and others,a fall report of which will be found elsewhere in our columns. The sales of cotton yesterday reached about 2,000 bales, the market closing steady. Flour was dull at the previous day’s prices, especially for common brands. The higher and better grades were more active, without change of moment in prices. Sales of choice white Canada wheat were made, for city mills, at $175; fair do., at $151, and Milwaukie winter, $1 3: icago spring and inferior Southern mixed, $ Western mixed corn sold at 50c.a 53c.; distillery lots of do., 45c., and sound and good Southern yellow and white at 57qa58c. Rye sold at 75c. for Pennsylvania, 77c. féx@Mew Jersey, and 80c. for Northern. Pork was steady, with sales of mess at $17 75. Sugars were in good demand, with sales of about 1,100 hhds. and 682 boxes, at full prices- A portion of the sales were made torefiners. Freights were better; 30,000 a 40,000 bushels grain were taken to Liverpool at 6}d.a 7jd., and about 2,000 bbls. flour at 2s. 3d. The Presidential BMlection Again—Some Gieams of Light, Among the superficial politicians of the day the opinion is almost universal that with the concentration of the rank and file of the de- mocratic party upon one Presidential can- didate, while the forces of the opposition are divided upon three or four tickets of unequal strength, the Cincinnati nominee will have nothing to do but to walk over the course. Charming prospect! Only to walk over the course, in order to secure the honors of the White House, and its public plunder, augment- ed under our Pierce administration to the magnificent democratic figure for the peace establishment, of one hundred millions a year! Ata firet glance, from the general aspects of things throughout the country, this conclu sion js quite natural, as a very brief exhibit will show. Here we find the democratic party, HOtPIth standing its bloody rows, revolvers, bowie knives and bludgeons, its assaults and bxtte- ties, and intestine feuds and quarrels, and its utter demoralization upon anything like prin- ciples—here we find it still exhibiting the practical sagacity of its better days, in rallying like a band of brothers upon a common ticket for the great common object of the spoils. Their plan is to unite for the plunder. and then, if they cannot agree upon its distribution, to split and quarrel upon principles. In this point of view, whether the stakes depend upon the election of General Jackson or General Pierce, the democracy are a unit till the great battle is fought. How different the case with the opposition forces just mow! Strong enough, if combined, to overwhelm the de- mocratic party asin 1540, they are yet divided into four hoetile cemps. First. There are the pro-slavery Know Nothings, with their ticket of Fillmore and Denelson. Second. There are the anti-slavery Know Nothiogs, who are to determine in general convention here on the 12th, where they are to go. Third. The nig- ger worshippers proper, who hold their nomi- nating convention at Philadelphia on the 17th. Lastly. There are the radical abolitionists, with their banner floating in the breeze, bear ing the nemes of Gerrit Smith, a highly re- epectable and estimable white man, except upon the nigger question, and Frederick Douglass, a shrewd and smart mulatto fugitive from Southern labor, who can make a stump speech, edit a paper, or cook or eat a dish of fried oysters in a style almost equal to that of our celebrated “free colored American,” the great T. J. Downing himeelf. It is quite na- tural, therefore, that even @ calculating poli- tician, at first sight, in view of these divisions of the opposition forces, should conclude that the united democratic party, against such con- flicting elements, will have nothing to do bat to walk over the course and walk into the “loaves and fishes” without resistance, Let us, however, take a closer view of the signs of the times, and the movements in the opposition campe, and we shall see that it is quite probable that this Presidential struggle may yet be a hard fought battle, and that pos- sibly it may even be carried up to the House of Representatives at Washington. The Na tional Council of the Know Nothings in ses. sion in this city for the last two days, has been mainly occupied in discussing rituals, pase words, signe, grips, winks and blinks, and such preposterous rubbish, while the real question which has agitated the secret deliberations of the members bas been, whether they shall con- firm or lay on the shelf the Philadelphia ticket of Fillmore and Donelson. At the first day's session of this present Council, the delegates present were uearly all Southern men; but on the second day the members from the North and East flocked in, afraid othery se of the en dorsement of Mr. Fillmore. In fact, as if con vinoed that this National Co was to be ast, t attendanc it since t NE"@ YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, JUNE 5, 1856, othings and nigger worshippers—to the end of adead eet against the nigger driving d.¢- mocracy, from stem to stern. This is certainly an important view of the care; for if the opposition forces thryughout the North cam be fased upon some flexible anti nigger-driving ticket, they can give the democratic nominee a fearfully tight race, even before the people. But there are men among the Know Nothings at this Council who contend that this proposed junction of the op- position force may be effected in the North without disturbing Mesers. Fillmore and Do- nelson; that they may be kept in the field to a very good purpose in the South, upon the merits of the conciliatory and peace preserv- ing foreign policy of Mr. Fillmore, in opposi- tion to the rampant filibustering proclivities of the loose democracy and their masters, the reckless nigger drivers. The little pranks which Pierce and Marcy felt bold enough to play during the Russian war, concerning Cuba and Central America, are amusements for the million which now require a nice consideration Filibustering, in a word, at the hazard of 3 foreign war, is no longer the ticket for the South. The tender-footed manner in which the British Minister was dismissed by Mr. Pierce, and the peculiar sensitiveness of the South toucbing the hazards of any farther dabbling in this dirty water, as illustrated in the late debate in the Senate upon Mr. Pierce’s message, tell us very distinctly where the shoe pinches. The idea of a war with England is, and must be, along our seaboard Southern States, inevit- ably associated with great dangers, sacrifices, dead Jossea and disasters, Mr. Pierce and Marcy have over-played their game. They have raised the cry of war, war, so often, and have backed cown co ungracefully, that while they have given life, on the one hand, tos pack of democratic filibusters, impatient of re- straint, they have excited, on the other, the contempt cf every reflecting man on the At- lantic coast who has either a family to be en- dangered by war, or property to be destroyed. Regardirg the hazardous filibustering foreign policy of this Pierce administration as a legacy to the Cincinnati nominee, and looking to the contingency of a war, either with England, France or Spain, as involving the consequences of a war with all the three together, no matter with which the quarrel may be raised, we are satiefed that there is something in this sug- gestion of fighting the Pierce nigger driving democracy in the South upon the filibustering issue, whatever may be the policy of the oppo- sition in the North. The question of dropping or adhering to Mr. Fillmore is still before the National Know No- thing Council ; and whether he will be shelved, like the bones of St. Quietus at Hoboken, or be given the benetit of @ fresh start, is a mighty important question. Let a compound opporition ticket be adopted in the North, and let it carry, as it may carry, all the Northern States but two or three, and all that will be required ot Mr. Fillmore as a sepa- rate Southern candidate will be to secure the States of Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky and Tennessee, in order to carry the election ap to Congress. Once there, who knows but that the safe conservative character, principles and antecedents of Mr. Fillmore may secure him the election as a saving compromize be- tween nigger worshippers and nigger drivers? Jt is not always a wark of wisdom to judge from the ontside appearances of things, even in the po)itical world. They are often very tricky and deceptive. The whigsin 1844, at the outset laughed at the nomination of James K. Polk; and betting all their loose cash too fast upon Mr. Clay, they realized in November the truth of the old aphorism, that ‘‘the fool and his money are soon parted.” The democrats in 1848 ridiculed in the same way the nomina- tion of the simple soldier, General Taylor, as the opponent of the statesman, General Cass. The truth is that the public opinion of this country is always drifting to practical reaults, irrespective of names or parties. At this junc- ture in our affairs @ political revolution is de- manded--a revolution is at work—and revolu- tions, though they may be checked for a time, “never go backwards.’ We maintain our opinion that not only is there a decided ma- jority of the American people in favor of anew administration at Washington, new men, new measures, and @ new and conservative direc- tion to our domestic and foreign affairs, but a majority, Pierce or no Pierce, opposed to the democratic party as demoralized under his nigger driving and filibustering policy. The particular question is, how is this majority to be concentrated into effective action; and pur haps the parties concerned may yet work out the problem. The election will not go by de- fault. Weare just breaking into the shell of the great question. We are still in the wooda, though we have some gieams of light. Is Tuere a Brivtse Orcan Here?—We have received a number of notes alluding to our mention of the New York Albion as the organ of the British government, and denying that it is anything of the kind, or an organ in any way of the British community here. We have no means of knowing what foundation there may be for these views. In the time of Sir Henry Bulwer, however, the Albion was certainly his organ and contained his opinions; why it should have ceased to figure as an organ since does not appear. Weare aware, more- over, that the manager and proprietor of the Albion Was some time since elected President of the St. Gearge’s Society, a body that is usually regarded as the representative of the English interests: and that he held that office some time. Under the ciroumstances, we adhere to our opinion that the Albion is the organ of British interests bere. Twat Liner Scir Acsty.—Our ootempora tice of the New York 7rilunc lose their temper at our allusion to the $50,000 verdict agninst them, and in their characteristic way assert that cur statement is false. We rather wonder they did not ssy—“You lie, villain, and you know it;” that being the usual 7ridune way of ecntradicting its cotemporari The fact ix, however, precisely as we it, the denial of the 7Zribune not t g. We did stated ontrary 2 an action Tridune, to the againet 1 a ste , 1 the nal; and the pr i take a | dan smand- | Hexce every acre of and the 7rilune was therefore unwarranted in characterising our statement as untrue. More Awru. Discuosures sy THE Know Norixc Orcan.—The exelusive organ of Fillmore and Donelson in these parts has been making more awfal disclosures of the abomi- nations and plots of Popery against the pro- slavery Know Nothing ticket. Following close upon the heels of those old dry bones of the holy martyr St. Quietus, we are now in- formed that the Catholics in this city, of the Church of the Most Holy Redeemer, had a pro- cession on the occasion of the feast of Corpus Christi, in which young girls and maidens, all in white, were followed by “Captain Smith’s company of Independent Rifles,” bearing the stars and stripes, followed by young dameels dressed in white, and by the acolytes with heir lights, and ringing bells, and swinging censore, while they in turn were followed by the clergy, &c. The particular offence in the eyes of our Know Nothing Roundhead is, that Captain Smith’s company of Rifles had the andacity to carry the American flag as part of the Popish paraphernalia of the celebration. The flag is pronounced sheer hypocrisy—a sort of thing that would be torn to pieces if unfurled while the Host were passing in Rome, Madrid or Mexico; and we are also informed that often in Rome and Madrid, it is “as much as a Protes- tant’s life is worth to refuse to join in this act of worehip,”’ ell of which, as an outcry by the Know Nothing organ of Mr. Fillmore against Popery, is very foolish and contemptible. We had repeated opportunities during the last winter, in Italy, of observing the conduct of Mr. Villmore, and frequently upon public occasions; and taking the ex-President as a Know Nothing of the third degree, we are bound to say that his uniform bearing among the Catholics and Jeeuits of Italy was, not- withstanding his Know Nothingism, the de- portment of a gentleman and a Christian, conforming to the usages of the people among whom he wasa sojourner and a guest. In Rome he simply “did as the Romans do”--not from restraint, but from courtesy. We have no doubt that whenever a Catholic procession passed him, before which it is the custom to be un- covered, he tookoff his hat, gracefully yet modestly ; and we dare say that in or out of Italy, rather than give offence to the devotion- al enthusiasm of the populace, before the pro- ceasion of the Host, he would kneel with the old women and “ pauverinas” upon the cold and dirty pavements, without regard to the quality of his cloth. The reason ef all this is that Mr. Fillmore is governed by the rules of action which characterize the enlightened gentleman, the stateeman and the liberal Christian upon his travels. Hence ke was a lion, evenamong the Cardinals of Rome, and was so graciously received by the Pope as to be exempted alto- gether from the ancient custom of kissing his big toe. The contrast thus presented between the worthy ex-President abroad and his silly and emall-fry Know Nothing organs at home, is very suggestive. Mr. Fillmore treats the Pope himeelf, face to face, as a gentleman and a Christian; while the narrow minded Know Nothing organ here discovers a Guy Fawkes in the dry bones of St. Quietus, and a Popish conspiracy in a religious procession. Verily, verily, the fool killer hath not yet falfilled his iesion. Tne Barxtm CorresponpeNce.—A corres- pondence has lately taken place between Com modore Vanderbilt, Mr. Hant, of the Merchant's Magazine, Mr. E. K. Collins, Mr. Gerard and others, and P. T. Barnum, the former gentle- men offering to get up a series of benefits for the family of Barnum, which the latter declines. That correspondence has been sedulously pub- lished in the accessible journals. Presuming that it is not a second edition of the Jenny Lind correspondence, and that after it has ap- peared in a couple of hundred journals, a note from Barnum will not announce that it is a forgery, and apologize to the public, we ven- ture to express very great surprise and no sm tll regret that any euch letter as that which bears the names above menticned should have been allowed to see the light. If Mr. Cornelius Vanderbilt, Mr. E. K. Collins, Mr. F. B. Cut- ting, Mr. James W. Gerard, Gen. Sandferd, and the other signers, really believe that Barnum was “a man of” such “acknowledged energy and enterprise” that his ruin was “a public oslamity,” they would do well to signify the grounds of their belief; for the public gene. rally do not regard the manufacture or exhi- bition of woolly horses or Feejee mermaids, or other impositions on public credulity, as proofs of laudable “ energy or enterprise,” and with the exception of his connection with Jenny Lind and Tom Thumb--neither of them very glorious exploits—the public are not aware that Barnum has ever given any proofs of energy and enterprise. Nor is it in any way gra- tifying to perceive that several of the lead- ing citizens of New York have avowed over their own signatures that they regard asa public calamity” the ruin of aman who, over his own signature, gloried in the title of a suc- ovssful huwbug. For our part we are bound to say that we consider Barnum’s ruin the natural and proper sequel to his book. It is an appendix, without which that work would be incomplete and im. moral. As it is, the one perfects and counter- acts the other. Barnum wrote his biography to prove that in this country adroit swindling and ingenious imposture were the high road to fortune ; his life, which unhappily for his the- ory did not close when the book appeared, proves that they are in fact the high road to ruin, And considering the mischief that fool- ish book may have done, and the disgrace it bes brought upon the American name abroad, we think that the least such men as Vanderbilt, Gerard, Cutting, Collins and the others can do is to write to the papers to say it was through inadvertence they pronounced Barnum’s prac- tical refutation of the immoral theory of his book to be “a public calamity.” Prosrects or tun Y) ~This country never kaw 80 proeperous a time as the one in which To whichever side ene looks one ia evidence of unbounded p: and we Jive. amazed at the t wealth and pr has ocourred 1) interfere with the farmers’ cal- culations. The cold which was felt so severe- ly here was a blessing in the West. The spring has beem alternate heat and rain, without a single hail storm to hurt anything, or any freshet, or any drought, or any frost. It is now almost reduced to a certainty that our wheat crop will far exceed the enormous wheat crop of last year, and that all kinds of grain will correspond. Nor isthe view presented by the foreign trade of the country out of keeping. Since the fall of 1853 the general foreign trade of United Btates has been curtailed. This spring is the first season since the fal) of 1853 that import- ing has been co-extensive with the advance of the country. During the eleven months end- ing 1st of June instant, our imports at this port (which may be viewed asa type of the whole country) have amounted to $179,392,000, or $38,049,000 more than the same eleven moaths of last year. Against this our exporta of do- mestic produce during the same peffod have amounted to $66,752,000, or $15,503,000 more than the eleven months of last year; while our export of specie (the receipts being nearly the same) is $13,718,000 less. Of cotton it is esti- mated that 2,755,000 bales have gone abroad during the eleven months, producing an in- creaced value in this export of $27,495,400, Indeed, there are many persons who think that our exports will this year exceed our imports, for the first time since the famine year. Is it any wonder that people will not take an interest in politice? If the nigger drivers at Cincinnati will only let the country alone, the human eye has never seen such prosperity as that now opening for us. THD LATHST NEWS.

Kansas Meeting in Faneuil Hall. Bostos, Jane 3, 1856, Faneuikiliall was densely crowded this evening in re- epense to a call for a meeting to determine what mea- sures should be resorted to inaid of the free State settlers of Kansas in their present struggle. The Hon. Thomas G. Carey called the meeting to order, and rubmitted a list of officers, headed with the name of his Honor the Mayor, as President. The remaining offl- cers consisted of forty Vice Presidents and four Sesre- taries, including many of the most weslthy and conser- vative men of Boston and vicinity. They were unani- mously confirmed by the assembly as the officers of the meeting. Mayor Rice, on taking the obair, stated the object of the mesting in a pertinent and forcible manner. He wished, as a eitizen of Boston, to express the sentiments of Boston and of Masssebusetts in regard to the present unbappy state of affairs in Kansas, He was followed by Mr. Cuartes H. Branacousr, of Kansas, who gave a detailed account of the wrongs and eruelties inflicted on the free State men of that Territory, whom he defended from the charges of insubordination of the laws. He made an earnest appeal to the meeting toaid their brethren in Kansas. Rev. Mr. Nctx, of Kansas, depicted the sufferings and privations endured by the free State people of Kansas rather than give up their aspirations for freedom. Hon. 84mvet. H. WaLtey, late Representative in Con- gress, submitted the following resolutions, and, in an earnest speech, moved their adoption:— Resolved, That, as citizens of Massachusetts and of the United States, we will do all in our power, in accordance with the oen- stitution of cur Commonwealth andof the United , 10 maintain freedom wherever itexists, and to exclude slavery trom all territory which is the property of the United States.

Hon. Ciwmriss A. 'uEtrs, Speaker of the Massachusetts House of Representatives, seconded the resolutions, and eloquently advooated their adoption. He charged the presext unhappy state of affairs in the country to the wisoontuct of Franklin Pierse.
