The News. The Republican end American State Conventions at Syracuse recommenced business yesterday morn- ing, after a night spent in endeavoring to perfect a plan for a union of both factions, The leaders, how- ever, appear to have blundered wofully in their ar. rangements. They agreed in opposition to the ex- tension of slavery in the Territories, that some sort of registry law to prevent election frauds is neces:ary, that mnaturalized citizens shall wait one year after naturalization before voting, and to unite their efforts to defeat the flemocratic, or “ proslavery party,” as they term its But a proposition of the republicans declaring that | Tongress has power to exclude slavery from the | Territories, and a litile bamboozling on the part of the former as to the division of the offices, exploded the fusion schemes utterly, ani both parties, after expressing their opinions of each other in terms more vigorous than polite, proceeded to nominate separate tickets. Here they are:— THE REPUBLICAN TICKET. For Governor Fow of), Morgin of New York. For Lieut. Governor Robert Campdel!, of Steuben, For Canal Commiseionor.. Hiram Gardner, of Niagara. For Stale Prison Inepector. —-— Everest, of Clinton. THE AMERICAN TICKET. For Governor . Lorenzo Barrows, of ——— For Lieut. Governor Natha’l §. Bea'on, of Herkimer, For Cava! Comm'ssioner.. James R. th mys D, of Ganosee. For State Prieon Inepector. W. A. Rus yell, o° Wsthington, Reports of the proceeding: of both conventions, together with the address of the republican? to the } people, are given in today’s Hana The Qusrantine excitement is beginning to de crease. The proclamation of Governor King and threatened martial law have fa'lei to keep up the fever, and it is questionable if evea tle arrival of the grand army will operate with any better success. Nothing new or im ortan’ t:anspire i at Quarantine yesterday. The Commissioners of Emigration passed aresolution making application to the Governor, Comptroller and Attorney Genera! of this State for their approval to raise the sam of $300,000 for the purpose of rebuilding the Marine Hospital and such other buildings as may be necessary for Quarantine | purposes. The military. under command of Colonel Lyons, will proceed to Staten Island to-morrow | morning. A detachment of the Eighth regiment, , numbering some twenty men, will depart for Qaaran- | tine this afternoon, for the purpose of making ar. | rangements tor the stay of the main body of the | army. The Board of Aldermen met last evening, and transacted a large amount of routine business. A petition, signed by some ten thousand citizens, was presented, asking that the ordinance prohibiting the use of locomotives on the Harlem Railroad below Forty-second street be repealed. The Board of Councilmen met last evening, but for want of a quorum no business was transacted. | The Board will mect at the usual hour this evening. There was not much basiness transacted in the Court of General Sessions yesterday, owing to the | absence of witnesses. The Grand Jury presented eighteen indictments for various offences, to which | the prisoners on being arraigned pleaded not guilty, and were remanded for trial. Samuel McCarthy was convicted of an assault and battery on officer Walsh, of the Fourth ward, and was sent to the penitentiary for two months. James O'Brien and | Patrick Kater, (youths,) pleaded guilty toan at. tempt at burglary in the third degree, and were | sent to the House of Refuge. James Gillen was brought before Justice Corn- | well, in Brooklyn, yesterday, on a charge of robbing _ Mr. Theodore Austin, who was found fatally injared | pear his residence in Lawrence streeton Sunday | morning last. Two witnesses were examined, when the prisoner waived further examination, and was | committed to jail to await the action of the Grand | Jury. | Judge Bowlin, of Missouri, formerly Minister to New Granada, has accepted the appointment of | Commissioner to Paraguay, tendered him by Presi- dent Buchanan. Tbe Harbor police boarded the schooner A. H. Smith yesterday, at the upper Quarantine, and ar- | rested three seamen, named Jobn Porter, J. D. Brown and John Crilly, who were accused of mn tiny. The accused were brought to the city and committed by the District Attorney for examination. The eales of cotton yesterday embraced about 1,500 bales, the market closing firm, but without further quota- ble change to prices. Flour was dull and nomiea! for the rejected and lower grades of State and Western, while modium grades were quite steady and in fair demand. ‘The bigher extra branas were heavy and less saleable at quotations. Wheat was lees buoyant, and prices were ir. reguar Good sampies of prime to choice miiling lots were scarce Inferior grades were heavy and unsettled, while sales of al sorie were light. Corn was heavy, and heated qualities cf Wertern m'xed lower, while sound and prime qualities were io light supply aod prises firm. | Pork was heavier and prices rather earicr Sales of mess were mate at $17 & $1) BO, aod prime at $16 45 & 816 60.

Java, 120 St. Doming>, and 250 Lagueyrs, at prices given in another place. Freigth engagements were light. There was rather more offering for San Francisco: sod clippers were getiiag 900. a 360., and full vossels TC per foot, measurement. To Awsierdam there wae g004 shipping demand for Qour at $1 per bil. for Mei- bourne at ube per foot for measurement goods, ! Tue Tevrrer iw a Trarot—We sarpeet the Chevalier Pryor, of the Richmond Sou’h, is inw | passion. He has written a long aud throaten- ing rigmarole to the editor of the Richmond Whig about a telegraphic despatch which ap- peared in the New Yor Herat, concerning certain differences between himself and a Mr. Yanoey. In this letter he is glibly abusive of our correspondent, upon whom he pours such epithets as “malicious calumniator,” “infamous falsehood,” “mendacity,” ‘ekulking assailant,” “felonious exertions,” and winds up with the magniloquent announcement that in a fow days he will “institute proceedings, with a view to the fall developement of all the facts in this fomewhat singular affair.” Losiilute proceed ings is good. We are glad that the Chevalier | NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1858. We hepe he will commence at once, and we will help him in getting full developements. We shall eubpeena before the Supreme Court of the | United States all these fire-eating secession pa- triota—-Toombs, Wise, Yancey, Jeff Davis, Wm. Walker, end the whole batch—and get out of them developemente in regard to allt their ridi- culour echemes and nonsense, from the nullifi- cation folly of Cathoun down to the wondrous quarrel between Yancey ard the Chevalier Pryor. The cecession chevaliers have dwindled down to an abstraction of the most empty kind. Their only resource for an excitement lies in getting up a theatrical combat betweea Yancey and Pryor on @ difierence of opiuion, This opinion dispute has about 85 much relation to the living questions of the day as the diaputes between the Monopbysites and the Monothefites in the carly ages of the church had to the great truths of Christiauity. These theorists fought, however, for many years, and much blood was thed. Sowe shall not be surprised to see a fierce fend among the secessionists—the parties being Yanceyites and Pryorites. The fact is, that there is a set of these foois who believe that the sun only rises and sets for Virginta, and that the rest of the world lives in Cimme- rian darknees, But the queetion is, did the Chevalier Pryor back out of his prowises? Let us have some developements on that, Mr. Pryor. The Politicians at Syracuse—Complete Break Down of the Fusion Project. Ty our despatches from Syracuse it will be seen that the Republican Convention, after adopting the proposition of the Americans in favor of obliging a naturalized citizen to wait o.e year after naturalization before voting, procecded to nominate candidates for Gov- er.or atd other State officers. The happy m:n ‘or Governor is Mr. Edwin D. Mor- gd, «f this city,a very respectable merchant, who was chairman of the National Republican Convention during the last Presidential elec- tion, and who expected that the candidate of his party would be elected by special interven- tion of Divine Providence in his favor, so that there was no necessity for any particular hu- man efforts to bring about so desirable a con- summation. Mr. Morgan’s party has now re- waréed him by allowing him to run for Go- vernor op a very curious platform. To the ‘er candidates we shall not allude at this time, It appears, however, that the fusion with the American party was not accomplished, and tiore philosophers accordingly proceeded to nom nate candidates. A list of their names may be found in the report of the proceedings. Our ¢cspatches seem to indicate that there has been come hitch in the plans of the lead +rs avd tbat the contemplated marriage of the two factions has been postponed indefinitely. Oar special correspondent gives a pretty clear ink- ling of the causes which have deferred this plearont little arrangement, and we suspect that ibe army at Syracuse has sworn more ter- ribly thin Uncle Toby's comrades ever did in Viardcrs. After two days’ of hot work, any amount of lobbying, and bullying, avd button- holipg, and champagning, the fusion leaders, do not seem to have accomplished any of their | designs. There is a somewhat rusty, though always appropriate, pioverb, to the effect that when rogues fall out honest men get their duer, It ie quite certain that the rogues of Syracuse have fallen out; but whether or not the bonest men will get their dues remains to be rren. There haa boon adiffcronce uf upli- jon as to the division of the spoils, and we hear the republican orators stigmatizing the Amcricans as members of a rotten and corrupt party. It was supposed that all these little differences of opinion, which should never alter friendship where mutual stealing interests are concera:d, would have been amicably settled, and we ehould have a union of the leaders for the sake of the spoils, while the hearts of the Albany lobby would be duly rejoiced. This fusion movement, however, has proved a delusion and a snare. It was simply a matter of bargain and eale, in which the masses of both parties had no sympathy. | It involved no question of principle what- ever. We see that the old whigs are returning to their ranks under the new nine of Republican-Americans, and whipped in by such men as Thurlow Weed, Greeley, Matteson, Seward, and all the corrupt crew that have ruled for the past three or four years in the Albany and Washington lobbies, end fastened vpon us euch incapables ae Governor King and the Metropolitan Police Commissioners, whose grand achievements are well known to the people. No matter who they bave nominated, the result will be the eame. The men may change, but the system never. Weed & Co. make politics a matter of trade, and very sharp trade at that. They put up Governors and Commissioners of el) sorts as catepaws to extract the chest- nuts from the fire without singing the delicate fiogers of the engineer in the back- ground. With such corrupt wire pullers the masses of the voters can have no sympathy whatever. There are no disputed questions of national policy and no new State issues upon which either party can go to the peeple. The only important question to the State at large is that of the canale, and on that the democrats will cheat as closely and lie as roundly as their oppoventa, The people have no confidence in any of these parties; and the election, therefore, woald excite no particular interest, and call out only a comparatively light vote, were it not for the etrength and the growing popularity of the ad- ministration of Mr. Buchanan. The pradence, firmness and consistency of the course pursued by the President, have not only placed the pre- sent administration upon a firm and popular basis, but have gone far to redeem the blunders and stupidities of poor Pierce. If the people of the State of New York come out to vote this fail it will not be becanse they have any confi. dence in any eet of local candidates thas may be offered by any party —old whigs or old de- moerats, republicans or Americans—but be- couse they desire to show their approval of the wise and st®cemanlike policy of the Prosident, They will, therefore, give their suffrages to that party which seems to approach sarest to the views and practice of the administration, The State election will only be a vote of conf- dence ia Mr. Bachanaa, Tux Prooness or Pivwnen.—Mach os had been eald and proved, beyond question, of the frauds in connection with the Street Department, it is only a drop in the bucket when compared with the stealings which are yet to be made manifest in the collec tion of taxes and assesements, When the result of the labors of the Joint Committee on Ao- amor has deveruuloed ip institute propoeding, geval Whe bars Ag piigheut foros of acgoun: tants now at work under Mr. Franklin, is made known, the public will then, asd only then, begin to realize the magnitude of the frauds which have been committed upon the city treasury through the instrumentality of officials for many yesrs past. A deficiency of thousands of dollars—reaching to an amount, in fact, bardly oredible—has been already found in the accounts of eome of the high officials who have served under the Corporation for ten years past. There are some millions worth of property in this city against which liens are re- coréed, ard upon which the taxes and assess- ments bave been paid years ago, but never ac- counted for to the Chamberlain by the collec- tors; and in all these cases the owners of pro- perty are ignorant of the existence of any such lien. No man can be certain that his property is free from e lien, under the infamous system which bas prevailed in the astessor’s office. Property owners may not know that tbey are chargeable with twelve per cent per annum in- terest on the arrears, and that, if they do not happen to porsess the collector's receipts, they will bave to pay that amount in addition to the principal. In some cases liens to the amount of ten and twelve thousand dollars have been found on property recorded as far back as twen- ty yeors ago; aud if the owners cannot pro- cuce the collector's receipt for the payment of the atseeements—which have no doubt in most cases been paid—they will have to hand over a pretty round sum when there old accounts come to be settled, as they must be when the Joint Committee get through with their work. It is well that the property owners should know these facts; and now is the time to avail themselves of the knowledge in deciding upon the course they mean to puraue with reference to the coming election in December. The ma- chinery of all the political parties is now in motion, and we may take it for granted that not one of theee parties will nominate honest, capa- ble men for city offices. If, therefore, the tax- payers do not take the matter into their own bande, we shall have another installation of rogues and rascalsinto office to plunder us for another term. Now is the time to look to it. The Quarantine DifMficulties—The Staten Island Vigilance Committees The recent forcible abatement of what the legal authorities at Castleton, Staten Island, deemed a nuisance, naturally excites a pretty warm diecussion. That the Quarantine station has been so considercd by the Legislature of this State, by the Grand Jury of Richmond coun- ty, and by the Castleton Board of Health, has not been denied; and it has not required the ac- tion of these eeparate bodies to make out a case for years familiar to every body who has had anything to do with the bay and harbor of New York. The abatement of a nuisance, according to the English law—which in this instance is a part of our own—is literally its beating down or destruction; but with this proviso—that no more injury is done to the thing which is a nuisance, than is necessary in abating it. Ifa gate or obstacle is built across aroad, avy man may pull it down; and if one builds a wall to obstract an ancient light, the party injured may level it to the earth. That the Quarantine station has come within this category, is generally asserted the great question is how far its abatement was sucha breach of the peace as to affect the rights and property o' innocent individuals. We donot hear «8 yet of any violation of private rights. Dul we leave theese qucotivuc vf law Ww Ve deuidea by the proper forum, since there are others which address themselves to common sense and equity, and may be discussed without reference to the authority of any law tribunals, and espe- cially such as have within a few years past wrapped themselves in a bastard ermine. It is maintained as historical and philosophic truth that most popular convulsions have had their origin in some gross outrage or oppreseion of the people, and though the outbreaks may have been suppressed, they have only been #0 after proper concessions to the outraged party. He is but a poorly read historian who does not know how Magna Charta was obtained. The law was one wey, but the baronsand the people went another, and from that day to the present, popular commotions bave always preceded any concession to public liberty. There are no gov- ernmenta in the world so fond of the msxim stare decisis, as those which are des- potic—none so profoundly impreseed with the propriety of obeying the laws. When bad men get possetsion of power, none can equal them in the violence of their legislation, nor their vene- ration for the saying “Thus it is written.” The Englieh courts of law, until a very late period, have been remarkable for tightening the reins upon the people. Modern English lawyers ad- mit that the doctrine of treason was stretched out by the courts to cases totally inconsistent with its original design. The doctrine of pra- munire, originally relating to the introducing and admitting foreign jurisdictions, became at last extended to other matters, having no affinity whatever with them. On the other hand, the mort necessary and salutary reforms have been of the slowest growth, and until the act appointed a law com- mission for revising the criminal statutes of Great Britain, practices and decisions were dog- gedly maintained in defiance of humanity and justice. And in our own country we have seen the eame things. We, too, have had our Jeffries on a small scale, who could, under the color of law, perpetrate the greatest outrages, and, as Madame Roland indignantly exclaimed on her way to the guillotine, the greatest crimes are committed in the name of liberty, It is argued that it is not for the New Yorkers to condemn all there gatherings and ta- mults of the people. On the Ist of November, 1765, ® large number of their ancestors went to Governor Colden’s residence, broke open his etables, carried of bis coach and barned it at the Bowling Grorn, and by violence compelled Mojor James, the stamp distributor, to surrender his documents, which they committed to the flames. In 1775 the sme New Yorkers went on board the veseels which lay in the harbor loaded with tea and threw it overboard, contrary to law. The Mohawks, as they styled themselves, did not even pretend that tea was a nuisance. There is, itiscontended, evidence enongh that popular commotions most usually arise from the conviction that the existing Jaws afford no redrees ; and in @ country like ours, where the people are sovereigns, and rule mere), y for their convenience by deputy, it is not eurprising that, with there convictions, they sometimes en deavor to right their own wrongs, As we have before intimated, the greatest stick Jers for law are those who gain most by their severity. We are ground to death in this city by taxation, but it is slmost high treason to think of resisting i'. The’ >@ry and cor- sopt legion whe Jise u'r un dow of the City Hail are wonderfully unanimous in their opivion that the laws must be strictly obeyed ‘The courts and the judges who Jet off the raseal- ly burglars, thieves and pickpockets daily ar- rested, do it a)) according to law. All our euf- fering, all our oppressions, all our wrongs, are treated in a purely legal manner, ond if we fiad bo redress we sre told that everything has been dope according to law. Now, when a community finds itself hopeless- ly remediless for the injuries it is sustaining— when corrupt and profligate politicians have shaped snd administered the Jaws to their ia- jury—when our property, our lives, and thuse of our familica are the sport of temporary "yrsnts—when the people see Lo heip for them- -ely es except in the day of fiaal retributioa and a general conflagration—ia it to he wondered at as they assert that their patience is exhausted, and they light the torch them elves, We are not ihe advocates of mob, or wob laws, but we know how to make some allowances for wronged and exasperated men. Those who make the greatest outcry against this procedure will be found to be those whoze craft is most in danger. At all events, when great and suffering community break out in an act of self-preservation, it is due to them, to the age, to the spirit of the age, and our democratic institutions, to pause before we join the con demnatory throng of verbulists, text lawyers and office holders. —_—_—_—_—_—_—— THE LATEST NEWS.
