The New Southern Slavery AgitationmA Gioomy Picture for the Charleston Conven- uon, The letter of a Washington correspondent which we publish to-day, and the newspaper ex- tracts thereunto appended, taken in counettion with the recent Southern fire-eating speeches of Alexander H. Stephens, of Gcorgia, and R. Bara- well Rbett, of South Carolina, pretty clearly establish a state of things in the Southern demo- cratic csmp of the gloomiest possible des. cription, im reference to the national re- union of the democracy at the Charleston Convention. According to our correspondent, the iseue is already narrowed down to Wise or Douglas; while, according to our Vir- siuis newspaper extracts, Wise aad Hunter mo- nopolize the democrade guine, and thriaten, ia their hot rivalry against each other, to break up ibe party, root and branch. Hunter is certainly s much safer aud more reliable statesman than Wise or Douglas; but this new Southern slavery agitation has assumed a ebape so formidable that the most logical prophesy now would be the violent dissolution of the Coarleston Convention. With regard to tbe African slave traffic, when we are told, even by a careful correspondent, ‘hat since May, 1848, between sixty and eveniy cargoes of wild Africans have been introduced into our Southern States, and that twelve different slave vessels, whore names are known, are expected within a few weeks along our Southern seaboard, we may, at first blush, fecl somewhat incredulous; but this ineredulity will be much diminished when we gonsiger the world-wide notorious fact that the to different purchasers, from Georgia to Missie- sippi. “f 1s this factalone the Southern popularity of tempting traffic is sufficiently proved for our present purpose, which is to show that between the Northern and the Southern democraoy there is at length 2 dividing chasm on this question of slavery which, from all the existing signs of the times, will defy all attempts to bridge it over at Charieston. Mr. Jefferson Davis contemplates the introduction of a bill in the Senate for the repeal of the laws of Congress denounctag and affixing the pains and penalties of piracy npon this African trade; and this, too, while Mr. Daviz is opposed to its revival from well considered objections on the ground of expediercy. Why, then, tbis bill for the re-opening of this perilous traffic to the fullest extent? It is be- cause Mr. Davis finds it impossible to resist the stropg Southern undertow in its favor. That preponderating class of Southern voters, tho “poor whites,” or non-slaveholders, have beenim. pressed with the idea that the revival of this African trade would soon make niggers so cheap that every white man who can raise a hundred seventy-five, or even fifty dollars, will-be able to own his nigger. The movement also offersa margin to speculators which is positively irre- sistible; and as the politician is but a speculator in the sordid instincts of “the people,” we car comprehend that there are really the clements of vitality and mischief in this busincss. ‘The bill proposed by Mr. Davis will at once make @ Gefiniie iseue to Southern men. Nor would Mr. Davis, an active, shrewd 21d ar bitious Southern politician, adopt this initio’ ve if he were not assured thatit will-be the winning side in his rection. The bold and inflexible posi- tion ot Governor Wise, in reference to Congres- sional legislation in behalf of slavery in the Ter. ritories, confirms this view of the subject. And his late declaration, through the Richmond Hy- quirer, that unlesa the Charleston Convention shall affirm his doctrine as the party platform, “the conservative democracy, not only of Vir- ginia, but of the South and of the whole Union, will refuse to vote for the nominee of the Con vention.” simply means that the game of +! Convention is already foreclosed. Between this ultimatum of Wise and that of Douglas the whole concern must collapse, unlese, perchance, the present counsels and round national policy | of the administration shall be adopted to save the nationality of the party. But the prospect in thie direction is altogether discouraging. The Southern fire-esters, after leading the party to the brink of destruction, wore in 1856 constrained for their general safety to fall back upon Mr. Buchanan. Put the loss o} Kaneas, the late Northern elections, the retire. ment of Mr. Buchavan ‘from the Presidential | oren ailing signs of a Northern triumph have driven our South- ern political spoilemen to the desperate expedient ofa Southern sectional party. Hence thesé new impracticable and fimpossible Southern slavery abstractions. No Sonthern man can be fool enough to suppose that the Northern majority in Congress can ever be persuaded to unlock the t to the niggers of Africa; but Southern poli- ticians must play their music to suit the popular ear of their section, and thus their negro mia- etreley has at last brought them to this demo- ralizing chorus of “ more Africans, more Af- ricans.” The Charleston Convention, when it medts will thus find that its authoritative action will reduced to one of two alternatives—the sacr' of the Northern or the loss of the Southern wing of the party. Anticipating that, in either event there will be two hostile sectional camps of the democracy in 1860-—one North and the other South—would it net be well for our Northern democracy, and all the other conservative poli tictl elements of the country, to be prepared for the contingency of this foreshadowed rupture ut | Charleston’? It etrikegus, in this view, that a general Conservative Convention in Jaly or August, 1860, of Northern democrats and oppo tition conservatives of all sections, for the pur- ‘the Portuguese Israclites of this city. It will be of | Pose of putting forth a Presidential ticket in op- Hpacious dimensions, and will cost about $60,000. | Position to both the black republican antl- Owlug (0 thy intense beat yesterday but few speg- ‘levery party avd the Southern secession pro- slavery democracy, would cgmprehend the ms- terials for a great Union viotory. Perbaps the general issue may yet work out some such third party as this, and who can doubt that such a party would at once walk into the occupation of the government, Engitsh Ministerial Views in Regard to Italy—The Locbardo-Venetian Kingdom Lost to Austria. We copy this morning from the London Post, Lord Palmerston’s organ, what may be consid- ered an authoritative exposition of the views of his administration in reference to the Italian question. They ere uo more than what were to be expected from a Ministry embracing all sec- 8 of the English liberals, or than were to be looked for »» the logical conclusions of Lord Palmerston’s declarations in 1848, In thut year, it will be recollected, his lordship, in reply to the offers of Austrid to compromise her then difficulty with the Lombards by giving them in- dependence under one of her archdukes, and re- taining tbe Adige as her boundafy, expressed it “az bis opinion that such an arrangement could never detinitively settle the questions at issue, and that to the fortunes of war would have to be left their decision. These opinions are reiterated by the Post with still greater positiveness of ap- phestion, The ministerial organ ridicules the idea of negotiation on the part of Pruseia ut the Present moment, and Says that it is idle to sup- pose that che can now step in to arrest the Allies at the Mincio, and save some portion of her lialian kingdom ‘for Austria” Sar. dinin, it thinks, will only have her due in obtaining Lombardy and Venice, whilst a the same time it pays France the just compliment of saying that she is fighting honestly for the independence of Italy, and for the im- mense moral infiueser which such an achiere- ment will give her in Europe The important influence which these semi- official declarations on the part of the Pal- merston Cabinet are likely to exercise ia Ger- many must be evident to every ove who has watched the course of recent events. It is now gcuersliy acknowledged that if Lord Malmes. bury had spoken out with similar promptness and explicitnese, a compromise might have been long since arrived at, and an immense awount of bloodshed averted. Fortunately for the liber- ties of Italy, the men who had the then direction of English affairs took a less comprehensive and decided view of the exigencies of the crisis, ‘Pac resuli is, that Great Britain is now, in spite of Court influences and party machinations, forced into the only line of policy compatible with her interests as a great constitational and commer cial country. We believe ihat ko unequivocal a manifasta- tion of the opinions of the British government as is contained in the article to which we refer cannot but exercise an immediate influence in allaying the eagerness of the governing classes in the secondary States of Germany to identify themsclves with Austria and so provoke a gene- ral war. With regard to Prossis, it is on all hands admitted that up to the present time her course has been marked by the greatest pra- dence and moderation. Still, the Prince Regent and his advisers were liable at any moment to be coerced by the effervescence of the German national feeling into steps of which their better judgment might disapprove. The proposed at- tempt at mediation, coupled with the mobiliza- tion or the Prussian army, indicated, we think, that the Berlin Cabinct had at length felt ii ao- cessary to do something in defereace to the viewe expressed by the other members of the Confederation. At a moment when pressure from these quarters might have induced the Prince Regent to compromise himself by some indiscrcet step, it happens opportancely that the declarations of the new British Ministry ar- rive to fortify his previous determivations. Their etfect on the public sentiment of Prussia cannot fail to be ‘such as to strengthen the government in its desire to steer clear of Ausivian interests. On Francis Joseph himeelf it is to be boped that Lord Palmerston’s counsels will have a similarly wholesome effect. Le is by this time a wiser man than he was at the beginning of the campaign, and after he is driven out of his line of defences on the Mincio he will probably be convinced that it is better for him not to tempt the French on to fresh triurzphs on Austrian soil, with the additional danger of a Hungarian insur- rection to complicate his position. if the ex- perience of the last few weeks has produced on his mind the same impressions which it has made upon thoze of disinterested spectators, he will be glad to compound for the integrity of his legiti- mate territories by abandoning his pretensions over those which have ever proved a source of weakneas to his empire. With the capture of Verona, then, and ihe three other great fortresses which constitute the last bul- warks of Austrian power in Italy, it is not improbable that tho efforts at mediation which will be made by England, in conjunction with the other great Powers, will prove suc- ceesful. With the termination of the war, however, we toust not suppose that the embarrasements at- tending it will end. Italy will still have to be settled, and the form of its institutions and ter- i torial distribution decided upon. Louis Napo- icon is a man of too mach sagacity not to have already foreseen aud provided for the difficulties ‘by which be will be surrounded as soon as he is celled upon to become the arbiter of these ques tions. He has to preserve his consistency before Lorope by maintaining inviolate the pledges with which he entered into the war. If he gives to Sardinia more than she is justiy entitied to by right of conquest, then he will be accused of ag- grandizing bis own dynastic connections, Should he proceed to reform the abuses of the Papal go- verament, and thus virtually destitute the Poa- uff, he will be denounced as the enemy and spoiler of the Church. There remains but one safe course for him to pursue, and happily that is as atrictly in accordance with his aateccdents as with his interests. Of questions affecting the future wel- fare and prosperity of Jtaly, aud which be pro- feseed to be the sole motives that induced him to engage in this war, it 1s evident that the Italians ves can alone be the propor judges. is but one way of impartially collecting views, and that is by appealing to the peo ple en masse. This is the plan that wili proba bly be adopted by the Emperor to decide the perplexitics that will beset him in connection with these fundamental changes. He in himself the creature of the ballot, and justly prides bim- relf more on that fact than if be owed his power to the dootrine of divine right. What course cen, therefore, be more consistent or more strictly just than for bim to Jeave the decision of these questions to the suffrage of the populations of the different States. He will unquestionably best coprult the interests of Sardinia by so doing, whilst at the same time he will vindicate bis own disinterostedovss before the world, aud avoid the odium of derpoiling the Church, of whick be pro- fesres to be 80 devoted a on. ‘The Biack Republican Police Conmmbasioners on Suandey Laws—Pious Pitisbary Looking + flor the Morais of the @vopie. Pious Pillsbury, in obedieuce to the reaelutions of his musters, the biack republican Police Com- miss oners, went his rounds on Sanday last to fee how the poor people of the city respected the religions behests of what Is smoothly termed “the prevailing religion.” We hope be gathered wisdom in bis rambles. We have aiready alinded to the tyranny which these advocates of the “higher law” wish to establish over onr laboring population oa the ope day of the week; but it would b» well for the people to reflect, earnestly aad desply, ov the policy that is being initiated, for If they once permit the pious Pillsbury to interfere witn their healthy relaxation snd iopocent recreation op Sunday, be will 000 be claiming the signi to de +] 80 On other days. ‘The resolutions pated by t'r biack republican Police Commissioners are, in themselves, oae of the greatest assumptions of arbitrary power that can poseibly be imagined.

There is nota laboring man in New York who does not know that it is not in ‘he power of the Police Commission to determine what is the “paramount religion” of the country, nor how the working classes shail de: themselves on Sunday, or any other day. The idess they emit, and the laws they would establish, were well cnough {fn the Middle Ages, when men knew Httle of their rights and enjoyed leas, But they will vot do in the present age, when all men ace equal before the law, aud the same rule prevails for the poor as well as the rich The pious Pillsbury and his sanctimonious masters may re rolve as much as they choose, but the black re publicans will never be able to erase from the minds of the American people the conviction thet here there is no “paramount religion,” nor to stop the growing conviction that these Sp pressive Sunday jaws ere not only a class legis- lation, which oppresses the poor without touch- ing the rich, but are in direct violation of rights guaranteed by the constitution. New York Serriixe Dowy.—On Saturday last, for the first time, a musical band performed in the Central Park. It is the beginning of a new era in this city—another step in ouc ad- vancing civilization. Good music in the open air, free of expense to the public, is both a cha- racteristic of progress in a nation, and 5 means of raising it to higher retinement—creating and fostering a taste for the most delightful of the fine arts, and at the same time affording a mors] and intellectual amusement which will draw the people away from grosser and more sensnal gratificaticns. Bnt not only is it « stride towards a higher ivilization, but it marks out the future dea- tiny of New York city. it shows not only what the city is going to do, but where it is tobe. It points out Central Park as the centre which will gather around it the population and wealth and business of the city. Hitherto New York hes been in a transition state from chaos to order, The elements of its new life were being 2 amidst the waves rising upon waves, and surging now kere, now there, til at length the tnrault subsides, and now the city settles down ond exhibits the lineaments of its future fora thousand years. The docks of the city, the great commercial warehouses, and,the bulk of the shipping, will forth be ia the vicinity of Hurlem, aad from thence will our steamships to Europe take their departure. [t ie suid the Great Eustera is coming to Portiand. Bunt she must come to the river, to the city of New York, where 9 dock will be prepared for her, and where there is abundant water for the yiaat ship. Thus will the operations of trade and commerce he centred in the vicinity of the new Park. And soon will numerous mansions of great elegance and magnificence arise urouad this nuclens, spreading northward by degrees to wards Weabington Heights, till that unrivalled faubourg is covered with villas, and becomes to New York what Kiesole is te Floreuse.

This is not decisive as to the course the Com- mittee intendsto pursue. The postponement of the question looks like hesitation; but jadging from the past, we think it is probable that the Generei Committee will adopt a resolution hostile to Mr. Brehanan and his administration: Let them do eo. They shall soon see what a fatal siep they have taken. The doctrine that a waturalized citizea must be protected in his native land as well asin the cotntry of his adoption sgainat oll prior claims acd obligations of military service, has never been maintained by any democratic government, and it is not oniy coatrary to | the Vnited States, but it is selfevidently absurd. Ifsuch a principle were admitted we might be involved in war with every country of Europe together in one year by designing villains from the Old World, who would have nothing to do but to become citizens here, go back to their na- tive land, get themselves arrested for military ser- vice due, and then demand the interposition of our government, first by words, and next, if pecessory, by blows. The govgrument of the United States docs rot make any snchk prepos terous contract with foreigners who become na- tarelized. It engages to protect them only ia this country, or in neutral territory, but not when they voluntarily return to the conntry to whose government they have forsworn allegiance. If they owed a debt to their native government on renouncing it, their naturalization in the United States caunoi cancel that obligation, nor relieve them from the consequences, if they afterwards voluntarily place themselves within the jurisdiction of the creditor. Our govern- ment will not permit any government to take them away by force from our territory, nor from our ships, nor from neutral ground. But it is too much to expect thet it will go to war at the will of any unprincipled emigrant who chooses to drag it into collision with European Powers, by voluntarily going back to his native land when he knows that the military sorvice he owes will be exacted. Suppose he owed $5,000 when he left his country for his country’s good, and suppose after the lapse of a few yearshe returacd aud was arrested for the debt, could pe in that case demand proiection irom the United States government and excmption from his liability ? ‘The absurdity of such a demand is palpable, and no man would dare to make it. The distinction is, that he canuot be arrested here for the civil cebt, nor can he for the political debt; but be can be arrested for both on makiog his appear ance within the territory of his native govera- mant, Suppose a Frenchman commilied grand larceny in his native country, and afterwards became naturalized here, and suppose he had the audaci- ty to return, our government would havea right, according to Mr. Wise, Mr. Botts, and other oppo- nenta of General Cass’ doctrine, to insist on the restoration of the criminal to the United States, inasmuch as the act of naturalization makes his past life in his own country a blank, and severs his councetion with it just as much as if he had never been born there. Such is the reduction io the absurd in which men are sure to find them- selves who take up a fale principle from fie- tious motives. It will not bear to be pushed to its legitimate consequences, and is not good for anything but clap-trap. Let Tammany Hall, therefore, beware of com- mitting itself by a false step. It cannot injare the adtmninistration, but it may so injure itself that there will be nothing left for it but titer ruio, Of late it hes been treading on dangerous ‘giound. A spark may ignite the mine beneath its feet, and blow wigwam, coal-hole and all lugher than Wise’s balloon. Apprtional News FRow THE Barrie oF Sorrermo,—The news of the battle of Solferino brought by the City of Baltimore yesterday-— though one day later than last accounts, does not put us in possession of thpse details so ardently logked for. A few additional facts, however, prove that the con‘lict was not lese terrible than was presumed from the first ac- counts. The Serdinians seem to have bad about the hottest part of the fighting at San Martino, where, according to their own deepatches, they had only half the number of men in the field that the Austrians brought against them in that affair, aud yet they drove them ont, retaining five canuons. Louis Napoleon is said io have displayed great coolness iu the midst of the heaviest fire; two horses of the Cent Gardes ezcort, ag well as that of General Larry, who rode beside him, were shot. The bearing of the Emperor, a2 might be expected, gave additional courage and daring to the French troops, ‘The further details of the action at Solferino will reach us by the Canada, dve at Halifax to- night, with dates to July 2, ‘They will be looked for with eagerness, end they may be rendered still more interesting by the additional jatelli- gence of another great battle haviag been fought oa the east bank of the Mincio. Bors axp THE Formianers—A “ foreigner” sends to us from Forsyth, Ga., a copy of a letier written by Mr. Joho M. Botts upon the rights of vaturalized citizens who may return to Europe owing military service to their former sovereigns, with a request that we shail priat the same. Mr. Botts, if we are not mistaken, has written two letvers upon this subject, in both of which his devotion to the naturalized citizen approaches the eublime. But, like many other persons who buve a certain facility of composition, Mr. Botts writes ond talks too much, A fow years ago Mr. Botts was rather verbose upon the naturali- tion question; and, if we remember rightly, be dveired to extend the term of residence before naturalization from five to twenty-one years. It strikes us with some force that there is an ap- parent contradiction between Mr. Bolts the pro- seriber and Mr. Botts the defender of the foreigner. Until Mr. Botts, or some one for him, can exploin away this difficulty, we fear that we cannot be brought to eee the point of his letters, particularly when they are so terribly lyng.

It is of no value, and never can be of any vulue to that Siate, It would be of some value to the State of New York, which desired to purchase it for a Quarantine, the oaly purpose for which it fs euited. New Jersey, like the dog in the manger, would not sell, though she could not use it, To sell it for a Quarantine could not have injured her, but, on the contrary, it was calou- lated to save her citizens in Jersey City and Hoboken from the danger common to New York city, while handsome amount would have been paid for it, which might have been applied to some useful purpose of State. ‘This waste land is below New York. Now, let us see what the Jeraeymen are doing with some of their !and above New York. They have actually sold the beautiful Pullisades om the North river for quarries, and the work of desteae- tion has commenced in that lordly wail formed by the hand of nature. Such an act of vandalisa could only be perpetrated in a donkey comme- nity which ix behind the age, though lying atang- side of the great Empire State, which isin the van of American civilization, Among the citizeas of agber States New Jersey has become a by ‘word, a synonym for “ioreign parts,” a State whose citiv-ns have little or nothing in commoa with the American people. The reproach is aot without justice. ‘The best thing the State of New Jerscy cau de is to sell to the State of New York the strip of land bordering the Hudson river and the bay from Piermont to Sandy Hook. She is incapa- ble of appreciating the property or turning it to good account, and she will receive for it what will make her rich. Let her sell it to those whe know how to use the most worthless portion of it, and how to protect that portion of the remaindsr which is one of the greatest natural ornaments of the country, and which itis sacrilege to de- fice. In return, we would take care of ber twa neglected villages of Hoboken aud Jersey City, making them beautiful aud thriving suourbs of New York, and her immense dock room now lying idle would be soon occupied by ehips frou every maritime country in the world, and the bum of commerce and industry would be heard all along her silent shores, Reuiciox Accorninc to Law.—Now that the Police Commistiouers have décided a questiva so knotty that the framers of our Constitutious, national and State, concluded to let it alone, perhaps they will be kind enongh to look atter the enforcement of the laws and ordinauces oa week days as well as Sundays, and particuiarty to assist the City Inspector iu keeping the streets clear of nuisances, garbage, and other out over fragrant stutf. This city always reminds one of a poor dandy with a good outside show and no shirt to his back. Some of the priacipat streats look: clean and smell sweet enongh, bat go a block or two off Broadway, and the steuch is enough to stifle you.. We know that it is the foult of people who were never taught te be Clean; fbut it is the duty of the police to teach themaand that of the Commissioners to see thst the police do it.” “Cleanliness,” they say, is “near akin to godliness,” andy therefore, after. the sudden attack of piety which the Commis- sioners have lately had, 2d endorsed by reao!a tions, our suggestion seems especially apropos, Exoven as Goov 4s A Frast—The Cheva- ier Webb wants “another letier from Robert C, Winthrop to Hiram Ketchum.” Why not mate it a private affair between Winthrop and Webu? We are quite sure that every body else has had quite enough of Mr. Winthrop for the present. A little of him goes a very great way. — _ INTERESTING FROM WaASDINGTOR.
