A grand rally of the democracy, to respond to the nomination Mr. Buchanan, was held in Washing- ght. Senator Douglas was the prin- m the occasion, and in the course of his remarks paid a high compliment to the charac- firat offci ean party ia V before yester der of the nominee, and strongly urged the demo- cracy to ‘unity and harmony, for the “‘ sake of the Union.” General Ciss also made a speech, which ‘was received by the meeting with much enthusiasm. After the speech of Senator Douglas, the meeting proceeded to serenade the President, who made a speech approving of the proceedings of the Conyen- tion. A report of the proceedings will be found in our paper this morning. The House of Representatives met yesterday, but as there were only thirty members present, immedi- ately adjourned.

The report of the City Inspector shows that sixty. nine men, fifty women, one hundred and sixteen boys, and one hundred and two girls—making a total of three hundred and thirty-seven persons— died in New York during the week ended on Satur- day. Of this number forty were taken off by con- sumption, twenty-eight by different fevers, twenty- eight by inflammatory affections, eight by diseases of the heart, and seven by cancer. The majority were adults. Among the fever cases there were fifteen of the scarlet class. Infantile convulsions carried away twenty-nine little ones, and dropsy of the head eighteen. Five persons died from the ef- of casualty and accident, and one committed Forty stilloorn children are enumerated report. A classification of the diseases gives wing results ases of brain and ©, 70; lungs, throat, &c. digestive organs, eruptive fevers, skin, &c., 43; oldage, three. Of the children, 12i were under one year of age, and 210 bad not reached to ten years. 250 of the num- ber were born in the United 51 in Iegland, 10 in England, and 17 in Germany.

We give in another part of this paper 4 chapter of political extracts from the eleven daily journale of this city, exclusive of the Henraxp, published in the English languaze, morning and evenin, As the first broadside in response to the C nnati nomination from the daily press of the commercial metropolis of the Union, there extracts are very interest. ing, curious and suggestive. Nay, more: they are very important as an exposition of the tone and drift of public opinion; for in thie city, at all events, the newspaper press, with a paltry exception or two, is sufficiently independent to cpeak what it thinks of parties, party plat- forms and Presidential candidates. The eleven public daily Journals to which we refer, possess in the aggregate, we dare say,a ecolid circulation almost, if not fully, equal to that of the daily circulation of the New York Hrnavp, and, one with another, this combined circulation of out cotemporaries, f'ke that ot the Henavo, is diffused into every hole and corner of the United States, to say nothing of the “outside barbarians.” Of these eleven dailies, there are bat three, of an infe- rior grade or indiffer ent circulation, that fully endorse the nomination of Mr. Buchanan, while in 1862 the nomination of Franklin Pierce was responded to by the whole of our metropolitan journals, with two or three exceptions. Why ‘this chilling contrast between 1852 and 1856? What has produced it? How are we to accouat ? What does it portend? Is it not very Pierce Was ia 52 should have been hailed with such enthusiasm, while in ’50 the selection by i the democracy of one of their best kaowa, ; most experienced and respectable statesmen, } sbould be received here with such extraordina- ry evidences of coldness and distrust? ‘The eolation ot this myetery ia very simple. In 1552 public opinion looked with hope and confidence to the democratic party as a break- water againet the seditious schemes of the anti- Slav agitators of the North. Oa thecontra- 1y, in 1856 the democratic party, as debauched and demoralized by the criminal follies, blun- ders snd impecilities of this Pierce adminis- tration, bas lost the coatidence of the majority ot our thinking and independent men. This ac- counts for the comparative coolness and dis- trust with which the nomination of Mr. Ba- ecbanan has been received by the newapaper press of thie metropolis. We contend that the independent press of this city is the best living exponent of the public opinion of the day [a our interior cities, towns aad villages there is scarcely @ newspaper that is not the servile organ of some little great man, or clique, or committee, placing the poor editor under a censorehip as vigilant and despotic as that of France or Austria, No where else on this con- tinent but in this city of New York does the newspaper press exhibit or possess those ac.ive qualities of enlightened independence which characterize the independent public journalism of the British metropolis. In Philadelphia, Beltimore and Boston they have what may be called an independent newspaper press; but it is of a character so contracted and provin- cial, so poorin intellect, talent, enterprise and moral courage, as scarcely to be entitled to the distinction which it claims. The daily prees of New Orleans, in all the essentials of the modern school of independent Anglo- Saxon journaliem, stands second in this coun- try only to the press of this great metropolia Thie is first—by all cdds firet~first to compre bend the movements of public opinion through- out the Union—first to give these moven.eats au independent consideration and expre.sion, and first to admonish our little great men, and the little cliques and cabals of all sorts by which they are surrounded, of their real posi- tion, and strength or weakness, before the coua- try. Hence the importance which we attach io the first broadside from our daily cotempo- raries of this city, of all sorts and sizes, in reeponse to the Cincinnati nomination. ‘These newspaper commentaries are, however, but the opinions of the parties concerned. They do not control results. They stand as tign poste, pointing to future events; but in themselves they accomplish nothing. It is only by the practical work of an active can- vases sizong the masses of the people, face to face, involving all the labors essential to the organization of a great homogeneous party— it is only, we ssy, by such means as these—that public opinion cam be brought to bear, either this way or that way, to any deflaite purpose. As matters aow stand, there is a fair prospect for a contest in which the excite- ments of the slavery question (inflamed as they have been by Pierce and his conflict- ing free eoil and nigger driving policy to the point et civil war) may yet be made to as sume the character of a peaceable, argumenta- tive contest before the people. From the first, we have contended that the Kaneas-Nebraeka bill embodies the true consti- tutional idea of territorial government—popu- er or squatter sovereignty. We have always, too, contended that the Missouri compromise was an unconstitutional bargain, and of no valid or binding effect. But the Kansas-Ne- braeska law, under the mal-administration of our little peddling New Hampshire politician ard his good man Forney, has been changed from its constitutional spplication into a pub- lic nuisance. The mischief was commenced with the land speculations of the Forney Kitchen Cabinet, in copjunction with their special agent in Kansas, Governor Reed r. The disorderly, bloody and shocking events which have followed in Kansas may be traced tothis free soil dabbling in the public and Indian lands of the Territory by the Governor, with the connivance of the administration itself. Nor does the subsequent dismissal of Reeéer exculpate the real offender or palliate his offence. Mr. Piercein that dismissal made avirtue of necessity—not really on account of Reeder’s land speculations, but because of the peremptory demands of the President’s masters, the Southern nigger drivers and “bor- der rvffians.” We repeat, however, that notwithstandiog the frightful condition of hostilities be- tween bellicose abolitionists and the “bor- der ruffians.’ to which the local affairs of Kansas have been reduced, there is still a prospect for wn honest solution of the doctrine of “squatter sovereignty.’ The people of the South have the constitution- al right to go into Kansas and settle there— the people of the North have the same right. The law of the Territory establishes this right, and leaves the question of slavery to be de. cided by the ona fide settlers of Kangas, yea or nay. Relieved of the nightmare of the Cincin- nati nomination, President Pierce may now be persuaded that he has nothing to !ne in the constitutional execution of the iaw ‘ he may safely exclude all illegal abolitionists and free coil missionaries having no bona jide resi- dence in Kansas, and all the Missouri and other outside “border ruffians,” as they are called, from any participation in the local elections of the Territory. But if Mr. Pierce still may lack the moral courage to see the law “faithfully executed,” we say, that for the certain execution of this law of squatters rights for the future, some such policy as this, of po- pular sovereignty, may be made the basis of a crusbing battle on the slavery iseae with the demoralized nigger driving democracy, in- stead of the impracticable delusion of a repeal of the Kaneas-Nebraska bill, or the adoption of that other sbolition delusion, the Wilmot proviso. We adhere to the conviction, as to a fact fully established by the State clections of last two years, that there is not a solitary Northern State in which the corrupted and disjointed democracy have not been reduced to a minority. We believe, further, that if the elements of thé existing opposition ma terials throughout the North cao arrayed in @ solid masse agaivet democratic party, that Mr. Buchanan, |f defeated, may be driven into the House of i prerentatives at Washington, for an election or a final defeat. To make any thing, however, like a successful retistange to the democracy, Mr. Fillmore must be limited to the South and the anti-sdministration adherents of Fiil- morg abd Donglson in the North must drop that ne be the not | NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, JUNE 8, 1856. ticket; and the George Law anti-slavery Know Nothinge, and the Seward nigger worshippers, and the silver gray Fillmore Know Nothings over all the North, must fuse upon some com mon compromise ticket, resting, like that of the democrate, upon the “cohesive power of the public plunder.” Let this be done and Mr. Buchanan will certainly need the vote of every Southern State to help him out. The true platform of compromise and co- hesion, then, among the opposition factions of the North, is “the cohesive power of the pud- lic plunder,” augmented under the economy of Pierce to the splendid figure of one hundred millions per annum. To the democrats, who ere already in, is will only be a gain of about aifty millions, for we dare say that Mr. Ba- cbenan will not tarn out more than half the present batch of office holders—our Custom Houre and (ost Office included; but to the op- 2 tory will be @ elear gain of a . year. We look to the Con- wo weeks for a powerfal iteaged people and the effort i public plunder of « bundred millions # year. Peal cl oa Ambrssadocs--I'ncir Privileges=Consuls. As nations cannot communicate bodily with each other, in tne conduct of their political at fairs, it is obvious they must do it by represen- tatives clothed with national authority, ex- pressing the national will, aud embodying in their own persons the national dignity. The great office of an ambassador has not only been always honorable, but it has by the very nature of things certain immunities which for hun- dreds and hundreds of years have been the theme and study of phyciciats and the gentlemen of the gown. But it is worthy of remark that since the liberty of the prees has followed the discovery of the art of printing, at least in the most enlightened and liberal countries, one half of the business of modern eavoys is per- formed by the newspapers, and particularly so in England and the United States Thus we know beforeband what are the mutual griev- ances, what the matters in dispute, what are the arguments which must arise in discussion, and how they will apply; so that infact the work of an ambassador is nearly done before he has undertaken it—almost & bull to say so, yet quite a truth. This peculiarity of modern times ous greatly changed the results of embassies, ren- ders their objects more apparent, and breaks the consequences of discussions by the antic:- pation ot them before the final result is chroni- cled in the official despatch. And 50, too, since the practice of maintaining resident ministers abroad has become a neces- sity, from the increased complicity of the politi- cai and commercial relations of nations, and the formal and occasional embassies of autiquity have given place to continuous representation, the same influence of the Press is felt, since a large part of the despatches of s foreign min- ister from his government, and certainly the most interesting, consists of the leading journals ot the country from which he is sent. Without going into a studied essay on the snbject of embassies, historically or legally, the present difficulty in the case of Mr. Cramr- ton and that of Father Vijil, are suggestive of a few points of interest. Thus it is a well ea- tablished principle of international law that “if one of the several competitors for the sov- ereign power of a country, or if a province which has revolted and asserts its independence sends an ambassador to a sovereign State, such State, if it receives the ambassador, thereby recognizes the competitor in the one case tobe actually the sovereign, and the revolted pro- vince in the other to be actually independent.” It was the practice in earlier periods to trust at firet to consular agencies as a temporary representation, and afterwards, when a govern- ment de facto was clearly apparent, to give it the necessary recognition, In 1824 England sent out consuls to the new South American re- publics, and in the next year their indepen- dence was formally acknowledged by Mr. Can- ning’s administration. In this couutry we have not been so particular. It is clearly the right of any nation to refuse to receive a foreign minister if he is personal- ly disagreeable to the State or of a notoriously bad character. Governor Marcy most un. doubtedly acted on this principle when he re- fused to receive the predecessor of the Nicara- guan Padre; and thus, too, a government may refuse to admit one of its own citizens to repre- sent a foreign State. France and Sweden have acted on this principle several times, al- though the former State allowed the Prince Pozzo di Borgo, a Corsican by birth, to repre- sent the late Emperor Alexander at Paris. Notwithstanding the immunities with which ambaesadors are clothed, there are certain acts of theirs which affect their security and their permanence. Thus they are bound to “re- spect the Jaws and customs of the couatry they are in;’ they may be complained of for mis- conduct, to their own government; if it be se- rious, their recall may be demanded, or they may be peremptorily dismissed. In the case of Mr. Crampton, who certainly offended against the laws of this country, aud continued in their violation, if we may believe the evidence before us, there is this peculiari ty which marks it with importance. His own government, after being notified of his disre- spect to our laws, has deliberately refused to recall him at our request. This makes the mat- ter more serious than at first glance it would seem. It was most clearly the duty of the English government to have recalled Mr. Crampton at the first intimation of that wish by our own; and now the calm and deliberate refusal of Lord Clareneon to do so, leaves open the question of peace and war to the de- cision of national punctilio. But for the ex- istence of the very many material interests which mutually bind the two countries togeth- er, it would not be difficult to blow the present misunderstanding into a flame which would inge both. Nor do we know how the dismissal of Mr, Crampton may affect the solution of the Cea- tral American question, notwithstanding the proporition of our Secretary. It remains to be seen what couree will be taken by the British Ministry. A crisis is at hand for them, if not for us. Lord Palmerston, if he can sus- tain himself, will not fail to make the most of | bis triamph. The nation will consider their domestic question ae « key to their foreign one; and accordingly @ severe Parliamentary strug- | gle is before them. It is the opinion of intelligent English mer- chants, particularly thore who have recently | arrived in this country, that no difficulty of any extent or magnitude is likely to jeopard cur relations at present. bat we mast expect no immediate courtesy | from the Britieh government. We are at Issue Point of honor as anything elee. The retura of our Minister is by no means improbable. It can hardly be avoided. It is, however, but an exchange of two pieces on the political ches3- board: Sir Crampton capers across to his owa side—Sir Dallas comes back to his. The bishops and priests will look askew at their opposites, and pray earnestly for peace. The castles and towers of the two countries will stand fast in their positions, withont being as- saulted or moved. The supreme powers will remain looking on from behind, and the pawns— the front rank, the brave protectors of ali these—the first to meet the shock of the conflict and always the first to be sacrificed—the peo- ple of both countries—will, we trust, refuse to be moved into hostility and exposed to ruin. It will be, we trust, a drawn game. In the meantime the political relations of the twocountries will be maintained by the coneular system, which is quite sufficient for the purpose; and by many is thought to hea preferable moZe to the present expensive di- plematic arrangements, If so, it is to be hoped that able successora will be provided to fill the places of the Consuls who are removed; and particularly may we desire a man of superior abilities at this port—this commercial capital of our country—since, however Mr. Anthony Barclay may have mistaken his official rile, he isa gentleman whose courteousners and many private virtues have made him an object of general regard. Never was there, however, a more unpro- pitious moment in England for the discussion of etiquette, or technical diplomacy, than now The treaty of Paris is but a hollow trace. The future of Scandinavia and the present of Italy are grave and pressing questions, already dis turbing the repose of Europe. It will not be convenient to increase the im- broglio, though angry words may be exchanged between us; and, in truth, it must be admitted that our own couniry, in spite of all the blua- ders of our statesmen and the baseness of our Political leaders, contrives to come out first best in ali our difficulties. We have not yet played out all our part. It cannot be that Providence, having fought our battles and shielded us by its protective arm—raised us from weakness to strength— from helpless pro- vinces to a first rate Power—it cannot be that Providence will cut short our glorious career before our destiny is completed. It will not permit faction, nor folly, nor irreligion, nor in- fidelity, nor corruption, to destroy us yet. We cannot believe it. divinity that sbapes our ende, them as we will.” The Condition of Mexico—The Mexican Cle- rical Power. ‘The late bold and decided movement of Pre- sident Comonfort in relation to the church property in Mexico, we have already animad- verted upon, and we have not spared our ap- Probation, nor will we withhold our encou- regement of a policy demanded alike by jus tice and the progress of civilization. When we consider the massive power hither» accu mulated by the clergy of Mexico—always in- creasing and never diminishing—we are not astonished at the hitherto unsuccessfal efforts of its patriots to liberate their countrymen from bondage. So strong had it become—its cords were ao numerous and so well entwined— that no way wasleft to uoloose the knot, but by a cut like that of Alexander. The population of the State is set down at about eight millions of inhabitants, and its re- yenue—about the same figure—is derived from indirect and direct taxation. The expenses of the government exceeded the income by about five millions of dollars annually, and the con- sequences were plain enough—bonds, bank- ruptcy and national discredit. All efforts have failed to meet the deficiency. Proposi- tions of all kinds have been made by political economists for that object. All have been una- vailing; and finally the government has been obliged to sell millions of acres of its ter- ritory to the North Americans on their own terms, Different systems of imposts have some- times been tried, but with no great success, and revolution after revolution has given no substantial relief to the people. General Co- monfort has had the courage to look the ditli- culty in the face; and the seizure and seques- tration of the overgrown estates and revenues of the clergy have been the solution—and the only one—of the problems in hand. It is estimated that the church has held, up to the present time, one-half of the whole real estate of the country, and its income from vari- ous sources has amounted to twenty millions of dollars annually. It is’ not possible to state the amount with accuracy. The estimate is rather below the fact; but it has been arriv-a at by taking the total value of the agricul:u- ral productions, the amount of deaths, birt as and marriages, and the income arising from the performance of devout service for which money is paid. ‘our principal classes of the clergy have swallowed up this enormous sum, although they number, dependents and all, only about six or seven thousand persons. The bishops and canons of the cathedrals receive taxes known as tythes and first fruits—a tenth part of all the harvest products of the country. Until very recently they were entitled to all the firat born of the cattle; and though by a law of the republic this claim was abrogated, yet such is the influence of the church over the con- sciences of its followers, that in spite of the law a very large revenue is still derived from thissource. So, also, the incomes left by devo- tees for the performance of anniversaries swelled the annual receipts. The Collegiate of our Lord of Guadelupe has the privilege of drawing monthly lotteries, thus deriving a profit from public gambling, and assisting in the degradation of the inhabitants by legiti- matizing games of chance, at desperate odds againet the investers of their money. The ecclesiastics or chaplains have their in- comes particularly from small rentals, the giv- ing of alms, and charges for masses. Curates receive fees for baptisms, marriages and inter- mente, in presents from sponsors, the sale of medals, scapulars, relics of saints, and conse- crated candles, The monks own real estate and receive fees for services of an ordinary grade; and there ere one hundred and forty-six of their estab- lishments. There are also fifty-nine nuaneries, sustained by the incomes of valuable and long accumulated estates. In addition to this enormous amouat of wealth, the clergy and clerical bodies have especial judicial authority, which they have anxiously watched and uninterruptedly en- forced by every means in their power. If in Europe the Catholic clergy maintain, | wherever they can, the canon law, by concor- = Ginggtly at lnewe- with it, and we mugh on q | Cat, cr, ae in the Papal States, by force if neces sory, in Mexico they have not been less zeal- ous, The sacred books, the decrees of general and provincial councils, the decretals of pon- tiffs, and the doctrines of the fathers, are their great reliance and authority, not much impair- ed by the existence of the old civil codes of Spain, the Extravagantes, the Recompilation of Indies, or even the modern constitution of the republic. The old canons and the Roman Jaw are the guides of the most liberal interpre- ters, and thus the bodies and the souls, the actions, and the very thoughts of the people lie open to constant observation, discipline and bondage. % It will thus be seen how utterly impossible it has been, and must be, for Mexico to advance +o any great degree of liberty with such chaias about its neck, and how vain the contest of libe- ralism must have been against clerical power sustained by the possession of halt the property of the country, and a revenue nearly three times as great as that of the government. Three fourths of the population at this very day are unable to read, and spellingbooks are rare enough to be curiosities, Even in the principal colleges the chief studies consist ot canonical books, Roman law and scholastic and dogmatic theology. The most learned men of the country have obtained their education abroad, and there are not foreigners enough in Mexico to give any tone to public taste. There are about three thousand Spaniards of pure blood, haughty and illiveral in feeling; about three hundred and ninety-seven North Americans, and about eight hundred French. The num. ber of English and of other nations is very emall. We see, then, what materials Senor Comonfort has to work upon. He certainly has taken the only step by which hecan truly libe- rate his country. A double taxation levied by the civil and religious authorities would break down far more prosperous States than Mexivo. We wait to see in what particular mode he will arrange and apply his reforms. When one-half the soil of the nation is restored to it, and its cultivation will benefit the producers— when the annual expenditures will be less than the revenues— when industry will not toil for churches and monasteries and nunneries— when commerce shall revive, and modern law provide its sateguards for those who have been almost defenceless, we shall hail the new posi- tion of Mexico with undissembled joy. We shall see ber at last taking her place and rising to her proper and appropriate sphere among the enlightened nations of the earth, receiving their friendship and sympathy.

Gerrit Smith wrote a characteristic anti-s'avery letter to the late Syracuse nigger worsiityping Conveatioa, in which he promises to give ten thousand dollars, on com- dition that a million shall be raised, to send ten thou- eand men into Kansas to whip the border roffisns. If necesrary, Gerrit says he wiil go himself, although he never shot a rifle and cannot load a gun. The New Yorker Staats Zeitung thinks that Nicaragua is @ good field for the people of the South. After having stated that the transit road is free, and that Americans can now emigrate to and colonize Nicaragua; cultivate rice, cotton, coffee and tobacco, catch parrots and shoot alligators, be teazed by the mosquitoes aud have any other kind of fun, the writer gives it as his opicion that Walker has done for Nicaragua that which Louis Na- poleon has done for France. Under present cirsumstan- ces, says he, slavery will probably be introduced there, as the culture must of necessity partly depend upor nigger Jabor. Our Southern Hotspurs will therefore find in Nicaragua a large field for usetul activity, and the same advantages which are offered in their own States. The Courrier des Eats Unis continues his daily saroasn? against Gen Walker and the filibusters. RAILROADS AND EXPRERS AGMNCIBS,—We extrast tne following from the Albany Evening Journal of Sataraay. The Journal is a sort of an official organ of the New York Central Railroad. We doubt that railroads will be much patronized by the public in doing express business, and we doubt whether stockholders wiil permit the mansgers ot their interests to risk their earniogs in this basiaess, Railroad companies are too long winded in law euits to Pay up damages and losses as promptly and handsomely a our express companies do. Instance the fitty thousand dollars ($90,000) paid by Messrs. Wells, Butterfield & Jo. to the United States governmont, a short time sg):— The establishment of an express, on their owa a:count, by the New York and Erie Railroad, we learn, is likey to prove an injurious affair to the interests of the: road. ‘The express men throughout the couatry are united im feeling, and look upon the matter as & War upon them, The energetic and faithfal ma in which the express- men have carried on tois busine: yailt it up from | its infancy, show them to be m mina, aud whe will not easily give up their occupation. Messrs. faomp- son & Co!s “New England Express’ are already selling . tickets over the Central rouie to the West. The Great American Express Company, having two, hundred and seventy-five offices west of Buffalo, and one hundred and twenty-six in New York State, mating over four hunéred agencies in all, are about to commence selling tickets ana so iciting the freight patronage of the public fer the Central route. A convention of the expresemen throughout the coum- | try is to be called by citcular, which will result in strong enncerted action by the Cer companies throngu their agencies in the Fast and West, to influence freight and travel by the routes opposed to or rivaliing the Evie. The effect of such an army of men, some fifteen hun- dred or more, working im opposition 'to the Erie route, < and that without psy, will resuit in great loss co that read, and consequent benefit to the New York Central and Penorylvania Central route avoided sny interference with such as came in their own line of White, the » has Kemoved to the Foutheast corner of Broadway aad Fulton s'reet, (No. 210). ‘he rent on the northeast corner was rather si than bimeeif or his good ot forced to move direct er cent in the tiem o E advantage, both for himself ara patrons. fhaueful for past favors, he will endeavor to merit the future encmrage-. ment ot his friends and the public at large.
