Q. You say you have lived in the South. Do you think the people of Alabama have sufficient energy and deter- mination to attempt to carry out this doctrine of non- intercourse ? A.

Theee are oaly the well known in- | stances. Thero are doubtless others, which the prudence & majority of several thousand, It is nevertheless my ‘own candid impression from what I have seen and heard Jn several parts of the State, that they are yet haunted by the memory of John Brown and Hinton Rowan Helper, and are sbaking in their shoes. The tolling bolls are yet sounding in their ears, and their endorsement of the “im pending crisis’’ is as ominously before them as the hand- writing on the wall at the feast of Belshazzar. But while dismayed they are not disheartened. They have apy quan- tity of money at their command, and are spending it with unlimited generosity wherever ‘it will do the most good. | Nothing is left untouched that hag a bearing upon their aide of the question, and their papers make charges and allegations with a perfect looseness. Even private char- acter is not exempt from insult ; and more than once has ignation of the masses beon aroused by the covet attacks of which Col. Seymour has been the object. While on this point, aud as Hartford is the centro of the State, it may be well to take a bird's eye view of the character of the Connecticut press and its politica.

Tt is edited and owned by three individuals of the most rabid Garrisonian school, who take their “‘Niggor”’ three times a day, morning, noon and night, in every shape in which he can be served up, and then go home and dream of him. They believe in the insurrection of the black man at any cost, whenever he can obtain arms for the purpose, and ‘is ble of self government, “even though blood should flow unto the horses’ brid! While th per, therefore, is one of the most prominent ia the Bitte, it ig also the most radical, the most politically cor- rupt and sectional journal witbin its borders.

In three districts tn the weat— in the Wheolivg, the Kanawha and the Harper's Ferry district delegates ia favor of Hunter for the Presi have been elected to the Charleston Convention, while one district in the east—the Norfolk—has selected dele. gates committed to the nomination of Wise. We had felt quite certain all the time that Wise delegates would be se-. lected, at least in the Kanawha district, as well as in a bel od majority of the districts in the western portion of the State. There can be no rational doubt, indeed, that Wise is infuitely stronger than Hunter in both the Kanawha and Harper's Ferry districts; and yet, by obvious stratagem and fraud on the part ot ‘the ‘Hun’ ter men in that district, the will and wishes of the masses of the democracy have been trampled under ‘oot, and Hunter delegates appointed to Charleston. Where were Jacksov, and Bennett, and Carr, that they thus allowed the Hunter men to overreach and defeat the friends of Wise in the Kanawha district? What were they doing when this great outrage upon the democracy and upon the *‘fearle’s tribune of the people” was perpetrated? Were they asleep? If not, they might just as well have been, since their being awake was of no manner of service to their Presidential favorite. We told them, over and over again, that notwithstending Wise was infinitely stronger and more popular with the masses of the democracy than Hunter, the Hunter tacticians would be sure to trick and swindle bim in the district conventions, unless the Wise men should keep their eyes open all the time and work like beavers. And yet, in the face of these timely warn- ings and admonitions, Jackeon, and Benne.t, and Carr have “gone and dove it"—have pormitted the loss of the Kanawha district, when it was clearly in their power, by a little activity and address, to have saved it to Wise. ‘We are amazed, mortified and ashamed at the listlessnoss and the verdancy displayed by the frienas of Wise, in the Kanawha district. We suggest to the “fearless Tribune’ to have the whole of them arrested und shot as deserters. And then, too, in the Harper’s Ferry district, the friende of Wise have ignobly permitted the Hunter men to cheat them out of the delegates to Charleston. Now, does not everybody know that, on the immediate theatre of the Jate John Brown raid, Wise is a thousand fold more pular than Hunter? How is it, then, that in that district, Hunter delegates have been appoint- ed to Charleston? Has there been any~reaction in that district against Wise since he put on his peer sack, and shouldered his musket, and marched to the defence of its inbabitents? Or, have cunning and fraud, on the part of the Hunter men, done their destruc- tive work, there, algo? This latter no doubt is the case, in conjunction with desertions from Wise, in the of some of those whom he has heretofore signally favored and bonored. How is it, we should like to know, that John Bisir Hoge, who has been appointed one of the dele. ites from that district, is eet aown as a Hunter man? iby, if our recollection se ves us accurately, Hoge was ore of Wise’s body guard, when he was a member of the Legislature, two years ogo. He was appointed by the Governor as one of his military aids, and was genorally regarded as a faithful and devoted friend of the ‘fearless Tribone” for the Presidential succession. And yet this same man, Hoge, is now put down as a firm and reliable supporter of the pretensions of Hunter All these things are curious and mysteries tous. We always knew that 1 its maulti- form shapes, was near akin to the devil, but we had no conception it would ever display so many of the at tributes of its distinguished relative, in the broad fase of day, as it is evident has been the case tn this matter << ae delegates to the Charleston Convention.

Unlees the Wise men in the remaining districts bestir themselves in due season, and di an activity corres- pondent to the emergency, the di of Wise in Virginia will be discreditable and humiliating to the last degree. Even here,in the Richmond district, notwithstanding almost every county in it has declared its preference for Wise, the Hunterites are boasting that Hunter delegates will be eent to the Charleston Oonvontion. Now, how can such a result be effected except through trickery and fraud on the part of the Hunter men jand ver- dancy and basest submission on the part of the Wise men? But we are fretted and annoyed beyond degree at the very dark binueness which colors the pr: Of Wise at the present moment. He might have been far ahead of Hunter, if his profeezed friends bad played their game with ordivary shrewdness and common renee.

We feel as if, ‘‘solitary and alone,”’ we had fought the battle of the “‘fearlces Tribune of the People.”’ But without pro- ‘T support from his friends, not even our At- tan shoulders were capable of sustaining his political fortunes. Surrounded by a dense mass of indolence and stupidity on the one band, and fraud and trickery on the other, how could we be ‘expected to accomplish, single- banded, the great and eseential work of securing for nim majority of the Virginia delegation to Charleston?

It was to be 100 by 180 feet, with 22 feet posts. There wil ee sve committee rooms, galleries for ladies and music, &c.

We gave in yesterday’s Heravp a general report of the present condition and prospects of the ship yards of this city, and yesterday our reporter visited those in Greon Point and Williamsburg. In general the yards were found in pretty much the same condition as those in New York—little or nothing doing. The reason aasigned for this inactivity is the same as in New York, viz: dulness of freights, Making a few Inquiries of a man whom we met upon the route, he stated that he wasaship carpenter by trade, but that his present occupation was to walk the streets from morning to night in search of something to do. respects, however, seem to be more encoursgizg in 'New York.

At the yard of Samuel Sneden, foot of Calyer strect, they are finishing a steamboat of over 300 tons, for the College Point and New York Steam Ferry Company. They are also repairing a emall damage to tho steamboat Granite State, of the NewYork and Hartford line. Since last fall this frm has launched three propel- Jers and one iron steamboat, and there is some prospect of their being again busy before thegend of spring. At E. F.

Axuany, March 21, 1860. ‘The republicans are decidedly uneasy this morning; in fact there seems ‘to [be a great fear among ‘them that they willnot be able to bind all of their party by any ac- tion that they may have ina caucus. In fact, that was fairly eet forth by Senator Hammond last evening, when he amerted that the action of the caucus, if it recom. mended the House Toll bill, could not bind him, Other parties stand in about the same way. They will find ita difficult matter to bind enough Senators by the party laabof the caucus to pass the House Toll bill this ses- sion. The battle was commenced last evening by Mr. Magler, of the Weys and Means Committee, offering a series of resolutions, or rather what might be termed the financial budget, upon which a discussion followed, lasting until after twelve o'clock. The main question of the discussion ‘was upon the point, how they should obtain the necessary funds to carry on the public works and the wheels of the Government. The Comptroller, Canal Auditor and Attor- ney General were all present, and gave their opinion in ‘It was their opinion that the Senator Rameay was the: first speaker, after the resolu- Ho did not wish the Ho was followed by Senator Hammond, who, ia his good humored way, objected'to having any vote taken as a test. party vote, and threatened to withdraw if thas was ‘the plan of this caucus. ‘Mr. Conkling next spoke. He was opposed to this cau- cus binding the members of the party, against the con- ‘viction of right, upon a question of finance. He thought Mf this was to be a party test they should have had no- tice of it before. Ho thought the only way t1 mect this question was by direct taxation—there was no use of shirking the question. Senator Sessions said that he had no particular choice ‘whether this caucus decided to raise a revenuo by tolling railroads or taxation, but he did object to having the House bill made a party test. Senator Lapham took about the same views as Mr: Ses- sions upon this question, and this caucus making tolling the test of party fidelity. "It was a question where (aoe ir.

Elizabeth Cady Stantom, was one of the marked featuros of this session. The Assembly chamber was densely erowded, and her remarks throughout jwere listened to with close attention. She said that certain rights were conferred by nature upon mankind, which were inalienable, and which no human power can take away: Some persons say that there is no right except that guaranted by the law. If the law made mankind at the same time that it created his rights, that would be very true; but as God, not the human law made man, 80 God, not the haman law, has the power to define man’s rights. Logic, common sense, everything points to a perfect equality between the sexes. Washington and the Declaration of Indepondence said that every citizen of this republic s free—that every citizen has a right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Can you call any one free who has no property—who has no rightto her earnings or her person?
