Politics of Peopier We publi¢h in another column a slightly infu- | riate and desponding article from the organ | the Southern secessionists, the Charleston | Vercury, on the cruel manner in which the South- | ern ultras are being consumed and wasted away | | under the Buchanan réyime; and side by side with | it, a cireular from Mesers. Wendell Phillips, | | Lloyd Garrison & Company, inviting the people to choose delegates to a National Convention for | the purpose of consummating the disuaion of the | States.

The Southern artiole- more practical | | and direct ie at the same time more violent and | | if possible more absurd in the political doctrine it preaches. While the Worcester disunionists regard all political parties insignificant and | talk of splitting the Union as coolly as they | | might talk of splitting an apple, the Southern | ultras set their streugth to work to prove the national democracy a bumbag, and to rally the Southern people into » faction that shall op- | pore it, Now, the utterances of these two hostile yet co- operating factions are of ao consequence what- | ever, save as Indications of votes to be hereafter What are the the American of polled. It docs not matter one straw what the private views of Lioyd Garrison or the | editor of the Mercury may chance to be: these opiniovs are only worth notice inasmuch as they | may at some time or other receive embodiment in the action of a portion of the public at the | polls. The importance, therefore, which ought to be attached to these opinions is exactly propor- | | tionate to the numerical force which is now, or | apparently promises to be hereafter available for | their expression and support at fature elections. The people of this country, politically speak- ing, consists of a trifle over four millions of citi- zens. Politica! doctrines are noteworthy solely in | proportion to the part of these four millions that adopt them. . What portion of the four millions } can be reasonably expected to embrace either on | | the one hand the extreme Southern views of the | Charleston Mercury or the extreme Northern | views of the Worcester disunioniste’ | We must begin by subtracting all property | holders ; for they, of course, ate opposed to any | revolutionary change, which could not but de- + preeiate property, at least for a time, There a for instance. nearly 100,000 slaveholders in the South. There men are necessarily opposed, ax a body, to disunion, for disunion wOtld depreciate slave property at least thirty to fifty per cent From the calculations of statisticians, and the re- | turns of the census it appears that the South | contains nearly 600,000 land and house owners | who are not owners of slaves; and that the North { contains over two millions of individuals who | own either land or houtes, or ships or steamers. The figure is large, ut the census roturs bear it ont. Here three millions of property | holders of ove kind or another, whom disanion | would embarass if not rain, and to whom—tea soning with regard to the aggregate—the bare iden of # revolutionary contest would be atterly abhorrent and shockiog.

We require absolutely ngibing to insure us the most unbounded pros- perity but a sensible conservative course. And notbing could satisfy the public that the present administration is pursuing that course in a judi- cious mapner so well as the abuse that is lavish- | ed upon it by such impractioable fanatics as, the Charieston Mercury and the Worcester Con- veution. Waar 1s Dore on THe Amoor River ?—Suatt, ExGianp on Russta Oren Cutna?—We publish in another column an interesting letter from our correspondent at Fort Nicolai, on the Amoor river, in Russian Asia. The intelligence con- teined in this letter relative to the progress of Rursia in opening Mantchouria to the rule of civilization and the progress of mechanical enter- prise, coming as it does at a time when Eng- land and France are combining on the South of | China to open the ports of that empire to cpm- | merce and the mechanic arts, gives rise to some | very curious reflections. It is not to be doubted that the civilized world and the crowded communities of China will both receive an immense benefit by the intreduction | among the latter of those mechanical appliances which, facilitating the conveyance to and fro of the products of industry and knowledge, shall increase the reward of labor and diminish the cost of those necessary supplies of food and clothing which are not produced at home. It is in this light that we view the efforts now being made to open an intercourse with China; and in view of the facts that develope themselves, the question naturally arises, is England or Russia most likely to accomplish this great work’ On one side we see England with her fleets battering the forts and turning the cities of the | Chinese, sending out strong reinforcements with the avowed object of thrashing them into good humor and an unrestricted intercourse with ber | merebants, It is but a few years since she whip- ped them into » toleration of her opium trade. While these things are going on, she is suddenly stopped in her course by the breaking out of in- surrection in her ill admiuistered {ndian erapire, and the discovery there of a wide spread spirit of | disaffection and revenge among her Asiatic subjects. On the other band, we find Russia settling down in undisturbed repose apon the river Amoor, which is navigable for a thourand miles along the northern boundary of China. It is far north, it is true, its outlet corresponding to the coast of Labrador on oar own continent, and the river is so icebound for several months of the year that, as our correspondent states, the people there cannot conceive what Russia designs doing with the several steamers | she bas already placed there, and = an- other which she has ordered to be built here ‘ in New York for the same destination. These steamers can runon the river during certain months of the year, and in doing so they will de- monstrate to the Chinese towns upon its banks, in 8 practical way, the benefits that accrue to them from steam navigation of their rivers. Thoagh China is closed to the civilized world, intelligence | is not slow in making its way among her popu- lout cities, and it will not be long before they ask themeclves the question, if this can be done | on the Amoor, why can it not be done on the | Yang-tze and the Hoang-ho” It is not very long since the Eaglish press told ue that Russia had obtained possession of the fine island of Chusan, situate near the mouth of those two great rivers of China. If this is oo it may not be avery long time before the steamboats that Russia is striving so uselessly to place upon the Amoor will be transferred to Clhusan, and in vited by China, through the Russian college at Pekin, to ascend their commerce burthened streams. There is a curious struggle going on upon the little-known shores of Hastern Asia, and the great problem to be solved is, whether | Rassia or England shall open China to the beae- fits of civilization. Tue Dean Lock ts rae Me roittas Po- | Lick Commusstoy.—The procvedings of the Board of Metropolitan Police Commissioners yesterday, of which we give a full report cleewhere in our columns, manifested no change in the peculiar condition of affairs to which we adverted in our article of yesterday. The three republican mem- bers cling closely to the line of policy which they have chalked out for themselves, and the democratic and American members adhere just as obstinately to theirs. This was shown in the debate and vote on the proposition to change the hour of meeting. As on the previous day, it was a tie vote, and the proposition accordingly failed. The same obstinacy will doubtless continue to be exhibited whenever any measure or proposition of importance comes up before the Board. It is difficult, therefore, to see how the police orgaal- gation of this city can ever be perfected ander the present system A resolution complipectary to the retired than ever; and the late financial scheme of the Michigan Southern, by which the holders of stock were irreparably injured—without their consent —by the creation of a preferred ten per cent stock. The prudent reader will thus learn that the system of misrepresentation and fraud which bes beea the mainstay of our railway securities for so many years has at last broken down, and that even the Eaghish now see through it. So long as Englishmen were eager to invest their money in our bonds and stocks, railway building was not only comparatively easy, but the natura! decline in euch securities was checked if not arrested by a demand for them from abroad. For several years, many of | the leading capitalists of Englaad have made a rule of keeping # certain amount of money in se- curities of this country: they obtained from 7 to 10 per cent on their investment, and were satisfied | that the gigantic growth of the country would tend to increage rather than diminish their dividends, | They are now ascertaining their error. They now learo—from the report of the Erie, for in- stance—that a railroad well built, well equipped, in a good situation, and doing a good business, cannot always be certain of earning money enough to pay its expenses; and they learn, as well from the report of the Erie as from the creation of a preferred stock in Michigan South- ern, that when trouble befalls these corporations, the directors will extricate themselves, if they can, by the eacrifice of the stockholders. It is nog surprising that such discoveries should teach them to wash their hands of us and of our securi- ties at any cost. We leave to the “great fanciers,” and the poor creatures in the prees whom they hire {to do their puffing, the whole reaponsi- bility of the shame and disgrace thus brought upon our financial community. Another idney Smith might well be called into being to | denounce the scandalous dishonesty by Which the | foreigners who have put their money in our rail- } | way securities have been robbed and ruined. | Such a care as that we published the other day, | where a poor German, having invested all his sav- | ings, some $8,000, in the purchase of one han- | dred shares of Michigan Southern stock, took | | ship for this country, and found, on arrival, that | without his knewledge the directors of the com- | pany had created a preferred stock, thus depre- | ciating his property from fifty to seventy per | cent, and in all probability rendering it ultimately worthlese-—such a case might well exercise the highest sarcasm and invective. For suth things —under other names—men wear parti-colored suits in penitentiaries. | This railroad system of ours, which has done | | 80 much for this country, and helped indirectly | to make so many fortunes, will in reality prove the ruin, moral and financial, of all connected | with it, save only the rogues who have the cun- ning to escape the final convulsion. Men are | sick of the old lies and the old balderdash about the schemes of the wicked bears, and the an- principled operations of Wall street: it needs bat a very little common sense to perceive that as between the two sets of speculators there is | nothing to choose; but if anything, those are the most vile who try to swindle other people, and especially foreigners, into placing their mo- ney where they will lose it. It ix not the beare, or Wall street, or this or that great journal that is raining the railways; it is the simple, naked fact that the priaciple on which they have been constructed an? wrought is a combination of ignorance and frand. In some cases, they fall | victims to an error in their princi but in the | vast majority of cases they are ruined by the | fraudulent management of their directors, who | knew when they started them, and persuaded peo: | ph to put their money in them, and hawked | them among our friends in Karope, that they wore worthless, and that a vender of such com | morities ought to have been held liable for ob- taining money on falee pretences. | Gas asv tae New Yors Gas Comrany.—The gas furnished by the New York Gas Company is | execrable. We have had workmen employed in | our establishment almost daily for the last month, to enable us to get decent light, but have failed. | The gas fitters tellus that the fault is with the gae company. The public pay an enormous price for the stuff now furnidhed them, and the first | duty of the Vigilance Committee, therefore, should be to turn its attention to the gas company, and see that we bave more light and better gas. Tux Sreeets asp THe Ratw.—Rain, which | brings snch disappointment to so many city | belles, is a downright blessing to this dirt-covered | city. Without it, we should never have clean streets, and as it washes away what the do-noth- | ingness of the Inspectors allows to accumulate, we think a statue ought 'o be erected in the City Park to Pluvias.
