By the arrival of the steamer Indian at Quebec swe have European news to the 10th init., four days Jeter than the advices received by the Asia. Ina @ommercial point of view the intelligence is inte- westing. Cotton contiaued frm, with a steady mar ‘ket at previous quotations.

The Kangaroo, from Liverpool 20th inst., arriveé in the Delaware yesterday, but bad not reached Philade’phia at eleven o'clock Lest night. ‘The Canada is now fully due at Halifax, with news to the 13th inst. The sexcign news yesterday impar'ed greater firmness te the cottor market, while sales embraced about 800 2 3,060 bales, closing im some cases a jc. advance. Wsour was heavy and closed at a fuvther éecline of about Sc. a Ic. per barrel. Wheat was active befare the news et about the previous day's prices.

Coffee was firm, with sales of 3,760 bag, mostly common qaality Rio, by auction, at an average of 9-92, and 1,300 mats Java, at li'c. ‘Tlere was a movement in rice; the market was pretty well swept, purchasers having taken 700 casks, at 4c. a 4{c.; the new on the market was held at 5c. Freights were active and firmer. To Liverpool about 150,000 bushels of corn and wheat were eogaged at 9jd.a 9jd.a lod., im balk and bags. For flour, 2s. 6d. was asked, aid to London, grain in bags was taken at lid. Qur Havana correspondents, wiiting on 10th inst., inform us of the spirited, but fruitless, effort made bby Chauncey and Winn, the American seamen, to escape;from their confinement on the Isle of Pines. ‘They were re-arrested and returned to prison, after wandering for forty-three days through swamps and woods. When they did meet with any people they expressed.uavch sympathy for the poor men and fed them, althoug® running a risk of punishment for so doing. Of tye men who composed the crew of the slaver on which Chauncey and Winn served, the Americans weve the only ones brought to trial by the Spanish offiglais. The attempt of a rich planter to marry his hougeheeper, and the fact of her depor- tation from the island through the efforts of his son, afforded a (reat to the scandal mougers. We have reports of more robberies and murderous attemp's. The American State Coavention met at Rochester yesterday. About one thawaand delegates were in attendance, and, according to our telegraphic re- ports, the enthusiasm was intense. The following are the pomina'ious for State officers: — For Governor .

Pending a ballot fur a candidate for State Prisoa Inspector, the Convention adjourned. During the session, the North American bolters from the Re- poblican State Convention, who had met in con- vention and endorsed the nom(nation of Fillmore and Donelson, were admitted into fall communion with their more orthodox brethren.

They heard nothing of the atrocities com mitted by the pro-slavery armed gangs that have Leen & terror to defenceless men, women and chil- Gren in the Territory for the past six weeks; they made no inquiries concerning the aggressions com- mitted by Atchison and String’ellow; they make no mention of baving seen any of the border ruffians, or of baving beard of any of their operations upon tona fide eettiors who happened to entertain free Stale sentiments: they seem to have not known of the existence of the unconstitutional and barbarous | tows which were enacted by a Legislatare com- ed yartly of Misssuriens, or of the blocking up ofthe bighways against the ingress of Northera emigrant ihe repert is a curious one, and will be found in fall in another part of today's Heratn. com © interesting Tespondence between @ nig and men 6 ished ia shed enti $ ery 0° All (ie parties are wo.

We spread before our readers this morning a valuable epitome of the politica! history of the United States, in a series of carefully prepared tables of the results of our successive political elections—State and national—from the adoption of the federal constitution down to the present day. In these tables the vicissitudes, the ups and downs, the rise and fa)l of parties, politicians and statesmen, are graphically and forcibly presented n the most concentrated form. The moral which hese figures convey is the independence and sovereignty of the American people over politi- cians, slatesmen and parties. Here we see at a glance, in the rapid strides of this mighty repub- lic in population, wealth and power, the various peaceable popular revolutions which have marked our progress, the causes producing them, and the utter impotency of the most powerful party or- ganizations to resist the awakened wrath of the people after betraying their just expectations. Accompanying these valuable statistics we give the table of estimates of the Presidential election of 1852, and our editorial commentary thereon, first published a month in advance of that elec- tion. Substantially, our predictions of Oc- tober were fulfilled in a most remarkable degree, by the actual results of November, and much to the surprise, not only of the defeated whigs, but of the most sanguine and industrious democratic politicians. But our predictions of 1852 were the conclusions drawn from the cir- cumstances about us, from cause and effect, from the developements of the summer elections, and ‘irom an established and definite organization of parties. Upon similar data we might now proceed to compile a table of estimates, State by State, of the approaching Presidential election; but the great demoralization, diserganization, disruption and-chaos of parties, brought about by the reck- less, hap-hazard, wicked and imbecile adminis- tration of Mr. Pierce, have not yet resulted in any. mere definite reconstruction of parties pon this Presidential contest than is afforded by the recent elections in the Southern States of North Carolina, Kentucky, Arkansas and Texas, aud in the Northern States of Jowa, Vermont and ; Maine. Aocording to the data of these elections, however, and from the pressure of the sharply defined and overshadowing issue of the Kausas question, the case is a very plain one, and we are left perfectly free to conclude that, while the electoral vote of every Southern State will be cast for Buchanan, the electoral yote of every Northern State will Se given to Fremont. The difficulty of any specific estimates for No- vember, State by State, is very manifest. The confased elements of a universal and tho- rough-going popular revolution, set in motion by Mr. Pierce from the day of the proclamation of bis Cabinet, are still ina state of active effer- vescence. We have had no positive crystallization of parties for November, except in the last sum- mer’s State elections. Those of last year afford no resting place; because the Know Nothing ele- ment, which figures vo conspicuously in the State elections of 1854-'5, has wholly disappeared in those of °56. In the South it has been extin- guished, from the absorbing influence of the new democrati: policy of making Kansasa slave State by force of arms; and in the North, as far as any tests have been applied, Know Nothing- ism has been sunk under the overwhelming spi of resistance excited against the democratic pro- slavery Kansas policy of a military despotism. Upon this strongly marked and simple issue, however—from all the indications about us, and from the results of the late State elections—we think it as safe a prediction as can be made that every Northern State will vote for Fremont, and every Southern State for Buchanan. Look at the remarkable democratic revolution achieved in those staunch old whig Southern States of North Carolina and Kentucky, on the one hand, aud at the equally significant revolution, the other way, in the Northera demo- cratic States of Iowa and Maine, on the other hand: and take these actual experiments upon the popular pulse, together with the general drift of the popular tide, North and South, and we are left to no other conclusion than that which we have given. ‘Thie is a new revolutionary movement of par- ties, in which the paramount issue is the new aud startling Kansas gugetion thrast upou the coun- try in the most offensive sectional shape, by this Pierce administration aud the Cincinnati Demo- cratic Convention. Against this revolting sec- tional issue, raised by the fire-eating nigger driv- ing democracy of the South, the whole North has risen in revolt. The only strictly constitutional | and conservative candidate in the field is Colonel Fremont. Mr. Buchanan stands with Atchison } and Pierce upon the Southern secession platform of forcing slavery into Kansas by border raffians and United States dragoons: and he also stands | upon that Mlibustering Ostend platform, which, i attempted to be cartied out, will set the S a Maze of war, including. per adventure, vile war, excited by foreign invaders. Mr. Fill more stands upon that ignominious anti-American dark lantern policy of ostracizing American citi- zews On account of their birthplace and reli- gious faith. Col. Fremont alone occupies the con- servative ground of the constitution in this con test, in bis foreign and domestic policy. For the North and the South be i the only reliable Union ca ate in the field. ware that he ix stigmatized as (ler ‘on candidate and the sectioaal and But this is only the old , ying “Stop thief,” with th of + bis arm in full flight. The ’ ed Fremont threw the iets and & land his set overboard. Seward, Hale, Chase, and the whole of that set were rejected, together with their policy, and a 1 young, living. conservative, constitational demo- erat, upon a constitutional platform, was brought out. The abolitioni«ts have rejected him. They prefer Buchanan for their disuuion designs, to | Fremont; but they have nominated a ticket of | their own. On the other hand, every disunionist | and fire-eating secessionist in the South—evory man of them—is for Buchanan, Every Southern disorganiser who is seriously wishing to dissolve the Union, and to secure the spoils aml plander | of a great Southern confederacy. including Caba | and Mexico, is for Buchanan, under the fall be- | lief thet hie election will best contribute to the | great secession ultimatum of a dissolution of the Union, We therefore adhere to the opinion that while oll the Southern States, led astray by theseygaaion a J democratic leaders of the South, will vote for Buchanan and the suicidal policy of making Kansas a slave State by force of arms, all the Northern States, including the solid masses of their conservative people, will vote for Fremont upon constitutional, conservative, moral and re- ligious principles. It is a new revolution, and it must run its course. We leave our democratic politicians freely to draw what comfort they can from our election tables. ‘Which of the Presidential Candidates 1s for the Union? There hes been some talk lately among the peo- ple as to which of the candidates is really the Union candidate, and which are opposed to the per- petuation of the confederacy. All of them have banners which have an agonizing cry—the Union must and shall be preserved: but the people would like a better security than canvass and paint. Having been addressed on the subject, we are of opinion that the only way to decide this question is to examine the conduct, character, and speeches of each of the three candidates, to test the language and expressions of their sup- porters, and to ascertain which of these has shown most clearly a readiness to dissolve the Union, and which has abstained, by himself and his friends, the most carefully from anything which might favor disunion. Let us take Mr. Fillmore first. Mr. Fillmore, on his return from Rome, finding himself in the arms of the people who want to put down the Pope, first declared that he had all along been a Know Nothing—his real feelings having always leaned the other way: then deliberately, and in a public speech, advised the South “not to sub- mit” in the event of Fremont’s election. We believe that the whole political history of this country may be ransacked for a single expression which, for atrocity of treason and depth of meanness, can vie with this. We declare that there have been times in our past history when a man would have been locked up or mobbed for saying as much. We do not think Burr ever said anything half so cold-blooded and infamousty treacherous. Yet these were the words uttered by Mr. Fillmore on opening the canvass, He struek at the root of our govern- ment and our institutions, by intimating that there were cases when the majority should not govern. He openly avowed the principle which has been the secret ofall the French failures for the last sixty-five years—namely, that the men who are defeated at the ballot box may appeal to the barricade. And he threw into the heated, seething, explosive South a hand grenade, Which kindled a flame of which we have not yet seen the end. He called on them not to submit—to reverse the plen of this government, and not only to insist on having their own way when they were in the majerity, but when they were in the minority also. Otherwise, not to submit. To split, divide, secede, make war, join England or Cuba, or anything else they pleased, but not to submit. Non-submission—that is to say, disunion --was the only noticeable feature of his speech He then is not the Union candidate. If we turn to Mr. Buchanan, we find him opening the campaign with an asser- tion only second in atrocity to this. He openly charged that the republican party desired to ostracise fifteen States of the confede- racy. Mark you, like Mr. Fillmore, he did not believe this: far from it: he has sense; but he said it because he knew that the idea would irri- tate the South, that simpletons like Keitt would go about, howling that the North wanted to claim superiority over the South, and that he might gain votes. He has succeeded. The South is mostly for him; but on what terms? Senator Slidell goes into this canvass as a supporter of Buchanan with the understanding that unless he elects his candidate, he goes for disunion. Sena- tor Toombs dissolves the Union on the first Wed- nesday in November unless everybody agrees to what he wants. Governor Wise will only take a share in the election on the condition that if buck niggers cannot be raised to $5,000 ahead, Vir- ginia will have disunion. Mr. Brooks will stump the State for Buchanan, and make disunion speeches at every step, promising to march on Washington if his man is not elected. Every one of these Quattlebums has sworn to dissolve the Union if he doesn’t get exactly what he wants, and at the right time; and they are the leading supportere of James Buchanan. Can he then be considered a Union candidate? We now call upon the adversaries of Colonel Fremont to show a single passage or line either in his speeches or writings, or in those of any of his supporters, which, directly or indirectly, in any shape or way, could justify the impression that he would, under any circumstances, abet or tolerate a dissolution of the Union. We defy them to find a single one such. Thy disunion abolitionists, Garrison, Parker, and their clique. are against bim and for Buchanan, who they believe will help their cause. They laid down this course at their last meeting. And though the canvass is warm here, not a man of any character or a sheet of any circulation has ever once hinted that in the event of Bachanan’s or Filhnore’s election, they would go for disunion. Colonel Fremont is the true, the only Union candidate in the present canvass: every sensible friend of the Union will vote for him. A Spurr is THE State Ticker —Our colaborer, Parson Jo Scoville, who, in piety and politics, is fast eclipsing Parson Beecher, says that a split ticket of the republicans in this State on the Governor might injure the Presidential Fremont electoral ticket. We think differently. We be- Neve the two elections occur on the same day and they need not in the least interfere with cach other. We are accordingly free, in our opinion, to oppose Thurlow Weed’s particular favorite nomination for Governor, and the railroad oli- garchy at the bottom of it. Who is this Jol. A. King? One of the oldest of the old party fossile of the State, whose hereditary hostility to demo- eratie principles is the next thing to an outrage wpon that great mass of independent democrats supporting Colonel Fremont. We must, there- fore, separate the wheat from the chaff. How can any liberal man support this Mr. King. who boasts of hie aristocratic blood, and who is in- timately identified with those principles of hoa- tility to European emigrants which marked his immediate progenitor? Mr. King might answer as the Know Nothing nominee; but he is out of place as the candidate of the liberal party sup- porting Fremont. Read, in another colamn of this paper, the remarkable exposition of Thomas Addis Emmet concerning the peculiar views of the father of this Mr. King, in reference to the Trish patriots of 1798, and then let Parson Seo- ville answer us, if he can, is Mr. John A. King, who boasts the blood and the principles of his father—is he a fii »askenger to travel in the same boat with the literal, enlarged, and thoroughly democratic Fremont? Read the letter of Mr. Jn met which we publieh to day, ALL tHe Broop or Ati THe Krvos.—Mr. John Adams King, the exclusive candidate of Thurlow Weed and the Central Rail oli- garchy for Governor of New York, os his pretensions to that office on the following grounds:— Mr. King rose and addressed the convention as fol- Ur.

King’s claims to the favor of the people on the score of blood is there fore legitimate. The issue is one chosen by him- self. He is a son of the late RafusKing. Rufus King’s blood runs in his veins, Rufus King’s principles overload his intellect. Who was Rufus King, and what were his prin- ciples? He wasa member of the Congress of the Confederation from 1784 to 1787, from the State of Massachusetts, and was regarded as possessing fair abilities, and was subsequently a zealou federalist. We are not aware of his being the author of any measure of note or of being very prominent, except asa partizan politician, In 1796 John Adams rewarded him with the place of Minister to England. He was there until ousted by Mr. Jefferson, and during his residence at that court was conspicuous for his hostility to the cause of republicanism in France, and for his opposition to the Irish patriots then seeking to break the chains of British oppression. Sach was his course there that on his return to the United States he was excluded from public life till 1819, when he was elected to ihe United States Senate from New York, by the aid of Mr. Van Buren, where he staid till 1825, when John Quincy Adams sent him back to his old post of Minister to England, where he remained till re- called by Gen. Jackson. He was not afterwards in public life. Mr. Rufus King was Minister at St. James wheo the Irish revolution was crushed out by the Bri- tish government, and when the patriots, Oliver Bond, Edward Fitzgerald, Robert Emmet, Law- rence and Arthur O’Connor, William Jackson, Thomas Addis Emmet, William Sampson and Dr. William McNeven had been apprehended and imprisoned by the British authorities. Som: of theee gentlemen finding the cause hopeless, to save the effusion of blood agreed to an arrange- ment with the British government to emigrate to the United States, and wrote to Mr. King, ar American Minister, and a correspondence took place on the subject. Elsewhere in our columns will be found these curious documents, They are taken from a work published in this city in 1807, by Dr. MeNeveo and the late Thomas Addis Emmet, Mr. King's conduct towards them is described in a way which we presume will not induce the descendants of these or other patriots in the United States to re- cognize Mr. J. A. King’s claims to be their Gov- ernor on the score of his descent or *‘blood” or “race” or inherited principles. it Tue Favnovre Saisr Anvorxe 1x New York. —Sixty-four years ago, this month, France was proclaimed in a state of anarchy, revolution. civil war. Society was shaken tn its foundations —the streets of Paris flowed with the blood of the good, the brave, the fairand the gentle. The Faubourg Saint Antoine invaded the Faubourg Saint Germain to give the people liberty. The people got license for afew years, and then re tigned themselves to the tender mercies of a military despot. The revolution of 1848 had a similar result, and after that numerous gentle- men from the Faubourg Saint Antoine were kindly informed that they talked too much and too loud; that a change of air would be beneficial to their health. They came to us, of course. They came to the land of the free and the home of the brave, and occasionally we hear of their celebrating the anniversary of something or other by getting up a weak Jacobin club in some mysterious beer house over in the Bowery, making windy speeches, smoking short pipes, drinking gallons of beer, displaying red and black flags, and laying the rouge upon radical demo- cracy at least an inch thick. One of these plea- sant affairs came off in Hester street on Monday, where the Society of Revolutionary Mechanics (that is, we presume, society of mechanics who revolt against work,) held a meeting. One cit!- zen advised the United States to join with the red republicans of France in overthrowing all the governments of the Old World, and setting up a European republic. That would be nice for the revolutionary Méchanics. Another citizen pre- dicted the speedy death of the Emperor of France, who was called a “ dog,” a “ rascal,” a “ cheat,” an “assassin,” a “rat,” and various other sweet and savory things, and called on the revalution- ary mechanics to get their traps in order so they could start at short notice. A third citizen got himself into an awful state of excitement. This revolutionary mechanic desired to be another Robespierre. He had an appetite for blood, and hoped one day to wade knee deep in the severed heads of rascally aristocrats. Not a pleasaut thing for the revolutionary mechanic or the avis- tocrats, we should suppose. But clvcwn @ son gout! This citizen further desired that everything in general should be annihilated and the aniversal republic reared upon the debris. Citizen num- ber four hoped for a social revolutioa to cut off the money aristocrats, who were, he said, worse than the aristocrats of blood. This citizen also thought that the rich Americans would be all the better for an acquaintance with “Marianne” (cant term for the guillotine). Wall street will consider iteelf in danger. It might not be pleasant to see, some fine morning, the beads of half a dozen bank presidents sticking on the fence of Trinity church! <A citizen in a blouse went in for killing all the rich people with a steam guillotine, and for a division of all the property among the revolutionary me- chanics. We have « sort of admiration for the man who perils his life for a cause, even if it is a bad one; and we could pardon even Jean Paul Maret for much of his brutality because of hissincerity; but those fellows who blaze away at a conveniently safe distance from France, and libel the country that feeds them, are beneath contempt. They are worse than the scum of the Faubourg Saint Antoine. The citizen of the Faubourg fights and dies for his cause; the citizen in Hester street gets three thousand miles away and talks about it. To carry out the ideas of these philosophers there would literally be no one left to inhabit their model republic except themselves, They should have a republic of their own; it should be a republic within the walls of an insane seylum. —We have been laboring hard enough for the last few weeks to defend Colonel Fremon' from the attacks that have been made upon him by the supporters of the disunionist candidates—attacks of the most violent and reckless character, charg- ing him with having broken every law of the land and every injunction of the decalogue, aud heaping upon bim every foul epithet that infamy could warrant or malice invent ; and now, really, we feel that we have had almost enough of this kind of work. But it will be impossible for us to take any rest if the partizans of Mr. Buchanan continue to treat that fine old gentleman in the way they are doing. We cannot remain silent while he is proved to be asimpleton; at whatever cost, we must defend bim from his friends. It is said by the prominent Buchanan leaders, and by several of the Buchanan presses through- out the country, that the evidence of Mr. Bu- chanan in favor of Fremont, which we published the other day from the records of the court in England, is of no value, because Mr. Buchanan did not know the facts. Could anything be mor: insulting ? Here was Mr. Buchanan, a statesman, re- puted to possess capacity and merit, who filled the office of Secretary of State while Fre- mont performed his work. Fremont was under him, received orders from him, com- municaied with him constantly. If anybody knew what Fremont did, and what he was, it was surely the head of the department on which he was mainly dependent. In this faith these law- yers go to Mr. Buchanan and ask him what he knows. Mr. Buchanan, in calm retirement, uo- disturbed by fear, favor, or visions of ambition, quietly sets down in writing his whole miad on ihe subject, has the whole read over to him, then swears to its truth on the Holy Evangelists. And this is the record which the Buchanan party seek to invalidate by arguing that Mr. Buchanan was such a fool that he did not know the truth concerning the matters which he directed, and to whose character he swore! We repeat, to pre- tend that Mr. Buchanan did not know what pass- ed in California when he was Secretary of State, is to argue him an absolute fool; and to insinu- ate that, knowing, he did not say what he knew, is tocharge him with perjury. His friends have the choice of the dilemma. For our part, we are satisfied that Mr. Bucha- nan is neither a fool nor a perjurer; we are con- vinced that he knew the truth about Fremont, and that he uttered it in the evidence we have published. And if this sort of indirect abuse of Mr. Buchanan goes on any further in the jour- nals of the nigger driving democracy, we shall turn round to give them a piece of our mind; for it is scandalous that a man of Mr. Buchanan's venerable age and ancient services should be treated so scurvily now in the decline of his years. New Mov: BY THE FILLMORE Parry IN PexysyLVaNia.—We understand that the Fill- more party in Pennsylvania and New Jersey con- template uniting upon an electoral ticket to de- feat Buchanan, purposing, after the result is made known, to buy off a sufficient number of electors to throw the election into the House of Represen- tatives. We can very well believe this to be true, It is well known that Pennsylvania and New Jersey are politically the most corrupt Statee in the Union. In their local legislation men are put up for purchase precisely like cattle in the market. Special legislation, votes, politi- cal honors— everything, can be had for money. The Fillmore party in New York, aided by Wall street, are in full funds just now, and can afford to give fifty or a hundred thousand dollars to help on this movement. As soon as the election is carried into the House, the twelve or fifteen Fillmore men intend to vote for Buchanan from first to last. It is very well known that the Fre- mont members will not vote for Fillmore under any circumstances, but the Buchanan members from the slave States might do so. Should all parties, however, adhere to their own candidates, and, as is possible, keep the contest going on till the fourth of March, the Senate would choose Mr. Breckinridge as their President, and he would be- come, ex-officio, President of the United States. Thus it seems very probable that the Fillmore and Buchanan men may unite to throw the elec- tion into the House. In that case there would be but little chance for Fremont, as matters now stand at Washington. The plan is simply to beat him by throwing the election upon the House, and then taking the chances for success, This is the last move of the rotten politicians in Pennsyl- vania and New Jersey, and upon it they base their calculations. It is for the people to pre- vent this: and they can do it by swelling Fre- mont’s majorities to such a magnitude that his election will be beyond doubt. Canpipates ror Coxoress rrom tits Cery.— We really hope that the nominating conventions of the several parties will put forward respecta- ble candidates to represent this city in Congress. It is well known in Washington that the mem- bers of Congress from the city of New York are men of the most ordinary character, sometimes far below those sent by the border constituen- cies. This great metropolis includes the ¢lite of the nation; it is the great fleld for the develope- ment of intellect in all the pursuits of life—in art, in literature, in commerce and in practical statesmanship. It should send only first class men to Washington; but this is prevented by the degenerate and corrupt conduct of politicians who make the nominations. They select men without regard to their qualifications, and gene- rally send some person of ordinary character. At the present moment, we are told, prepara- tions are being made to bring out strong candi- dates, but we have only noticod the nomination of two or three men of character and talent suited the place. In one of the up-town districts Me. J Cochrane, the present Surveyor of the Port, bas been nomi- nated. He is a man of taloat, energy, sound general information, ond ther with the duties of practical stat B. Maclay has been nominated in the Firth dis. trict. Heisa good man--far above the average of members of Congress in these degenerate days. In the Third district Mr. Walbridge, who has served the people in the same capacity before, is put forward as @ candidate. We understand that there is a bitter personal opposition to Mr. Wal- bridge, headed by Emanuel B. Hart, who former- ly had the seat in that district. Mr. Hart, it seems, is operating for Mr. Dan Sickles, well known in the Ostend basiness, and for seme time Secretary of Legation while Mr. Buchanan was Minister near the British government. If Mr. Hart really wishes to defeat Mr. Walbridge, he would do well to try the old plan, which worked so well on a former occasion, and which it is unnecessary to describe just now. There seems to be a great dea) of trouble in this district, and any quantity of plots and intrigues by the friends of the to different candidater. A few days wil! determine the issue and put an end to this disturbed state of things. ——_ THE LATEST NEws.
