4 NEW YORK HERALD. JAMES GOKDODY BENNETT, EDITO AND PROPRIETOR, Secttseol infanticede at Richmend—The Pletm wuty of tne Beitimure Ooaven- tien. The Richmond Convention bas very sensibly committed infantic'de om the Southern eeces sion movement, by resolviog to go into a re cers until after the Baltimore Convention shail have acted, This action by the delegations that seceded at Charleston is a practical cors'guing to obii- vion of the ultra fire-eeters ia ihe South, who are always ready;to ere up and rua away from their guna if victory is not conceded to them at the first flash of their primiags. As matters tarned at Charleston, it is now evident that bed the ceceaing delegations stood up to their duty in the Convention, and defeaded the interesta of their constituents through the whole fight, instesd of running away, & compromire and conservative ticket would have beoa adopted, upder which the rights and the interests ot the South would have been safe, aad in eupport of which the national sentiment would have everywhere rallied. Even when the se ceders abandoned their posts, the disor- gapizers had to adjourn the Convention to save themselves from defeat by the national men who remained true to their duty in that body. The Southern constitueacies, in com- missioning these delegations to the adjourned Copvention at Baltimore, have given a practi cal and strong rebuke to the mea who desire to get up s Southern sectional party as an off. set to the Northern black republican sectional- iets. By this act the Southern sectionalists have received their death blow, and it now only re maine for the Baltimore Convention to meet end act in consonance with the impulses of a pational semiiment anda true patriotism, to give the cuup de grace to Northern secticnal- ism and politics! abolitionisom. The personal contests of the political leadera have tontinued lopg enough, wend the critical hour is now clore at band when an injured and endangered country demands that they shall lay sside their insave bickerirgs, and unite on some mao in whese support they can ail rally for the common good. There are dozens of such men promivent in the political bistory of the country, commanding the confidence of the patiopal sentiment North as wel! as South, god who have taken no part in the bitter per- sonalities and hostile intrigues of the couten- tious cliques at Washington. It is then the duty of the Convention about to mvet at Balti more to set stide both of the factions whose hostile efforts against each other have brought the country into such a critical position, and given en opportunity to base and huckster- ing politicians to drive corrupt bergatos, avd put the State up for sale to the highest bidder. It was this personal contest that gave the Albeny Regency an opportunity to perpetuate its own base existence, by mukiog secret and corrupt bargains with all of the parties, aud then by cheating sii to make itself apparea'iy the master of the situation. Four eiffereat political combinations, that were formed with the bope of securing the Charleston appro- bation for their respective tickety, re- ceived and courted on pledges from the Ricbmond, Cassidy, Cugger & Co. clique, sud were all cheated by them. Let the Southern men, the Gutbrie men, the Douglas men, and the Dickinson men, ail remember, when they meet at Baltimore, how they were seve- rally deceived and betrayed at Charleston by the Albany plotters, who now, having height ened the tends between the several political interests, claim to be the arbiters of the fates of all, Every motive that impels men of patriot- ism and honor calis upon all those political interests to lay aside the plaus that they caa- bot pow carry to a succeesful result, and, bury- ing the hatchet of past discord, unite in the support of some one of the many national men who canbe consistently and enthusiastically supported by all. The Baltimore Convention is the true re gathering of the National Convention that met at Charleston, and the members should now come together wiser from the revelations of the past, apd softened in their feelings towards each otber by the turning te ashes of hopes they once thovgbt to grasp. The pew contrivances to curry out old schemes, and the new delegations sought for to realise impracticable schemes, are all failores, ond should be at once ackaow- ledgcd os such. . Toe Convention has a duty to perform to the whole country, and in such a crisis as the present all minor considerations should be set aside. If it does not fulfil this duty, if it continues the pereonal aad bitter hostilities that have marked the courses of the party leaders for scme time past, it will give the government over to the control of the sec tional fanatics of the North, through the eleo- tion of Lincoln, and this will be the beginzing of revolution and universal ruin throughout the country, in which the contentious politi- cians who bave permitted it will be the first to reap the public indignation and the public scorm.

Tne News. By the arrival of the North Star from Aspinwall, with the California mails of the 2ist ult, we have additional particulars of the late massacre of whites in Carson Valley, near Pyramid Lake, Westera Utah. The most intense excitement prevails there ia regard to the late massacre. The Rewspapers were teeming with ali sorts of rumors and surmises, and anticipations for a continuance Of the Indian hostilities, and voluntoers were being raived fur active service against the red men. No doubt mavy of the reports of the magnitnde and character of the fight and the foe which have been Made have been exaggerated. Gov. Downey, of California, and Gen, Clarke, the commander of the United States troops in that section of the country, are employing all lawfal aad necessary means to Provent a repetition of scenes similar to that of Pyramid Lake. The vews from Oregon, California and Washing- fon Termtory is unimportant. We have received some two weeks later intelli- Bence from South and Central America, by the swamship North Star, Captain Jones, which ar- rived at this port yesterday from aspinwall. The Bews is not very important. in New Granada the revolution was progressing to a certain extent. General Mosquera had issued &@ proclamation declaring the State of Cauca inde- pendent. The parties have aot yet come to blows, and it was hoped that the effurts of General Herran to effect sume compromise might be successful. Ie regard to railroad matters on the Isthaas, our ©orrespondent says the Suaford negotiations are Bot progressing tavoranly. There are ramors of war between Nicaragua and Balvador, bat they are not considered reliable. The Presideut of Co-ta Rica has published an am- Dosty for all political offeaders. Dates from Callao are to May 14, and Valparaiso May 50. The former place has not yet been re- Guced to ashes by the French fleet there sesembled; On the contrary, notwithstanding the blaster of President Castilla, tho French offivers were receiv: @d by him most courteously, and the difficalty, of Which we publish a history, was in a fair way of being amicably adjarted. in Eouador affsirs were ia the same mnsatisf ac- tory position they have beon ia for some time. Generals Franco and Flores were each enueavoriug to take the field against the other. It was roported Shat the former had been shot at Gusyaquil. Chile is still progressiog in the path ef honora- b’e industry and prosperity. The reported dis coveries of new gold and silver mines have been confiemed. The steamship Moses Taylor, Captain Baxter, with Havana dates to the 8th inst, arrived hore Yesterday afternoon. There is no news. The hheaith of the city continued remarkably good. From Jamaica there is no news, The dates are fo May 24. The weather latterly had beon very rainy, which iaterfered to some extent with the Kingston market, in keeping back country par- chasers and produce. Yet the business for the fortnight preceding our latest dates was not very dail. The prices for some articles had failen bde- Bow last quotations. The Democratic Southern Lecession National Presidental Convention, which met at Richmond, Va, on Mouday, permanently orgauized yesterday: by choosing J hn Erwin, of Alabama, for Prosideat! fad the usval number of Vice Presidents and Secre taries. The Committee on Credentials were dis Charged from farther considesation of the applica tion of the New York National Hall delegates for seats in the Convention. A resolution, stating that, the delegates to the Convention having been ap- pointed on the basis of the majority platform acopted at Charleston, farther action at this tims in relation to a platform is unnecessary, was adopted; and after several apeeches, the Conven tion adjourned, to mect at Richmond on the 2ist inst., two days after the meeting of the Baltimore Convention. & The reseion of Congross yesterday was mataly Gevoted to the consideration of appropriation bills, but we have no space for an extended reference to the proceedings, Our reports and despatches sup.

There never wasa more Lefarious job than this Battery en- largement, and the maoner in which George Law was suffered to turn it to his private ac count, and then throw back the execution of the work upon the city, is onegof the most thameful of the mony profligate arrangements in which the two Boards bave connived. In connection with the report prefacing theee re- solutions, another was introduced on the sawe evening, sutborizing the Staten Island Ferry Company to erect a bulkhead from the outer wall of the old Battery, at a dletance of two hundred feet west of pier No, 1 Bast river; in consideration of which the company is to have the right to use this space for the ferry landing éuring the continuance of their ferry. Notwith- standing the strenuons opposition of Council- man Pinckney, the resolution was passed by a vote of two fo one. ‘This, we need scarcely add, is one of the most barefaced swindles that has ever beea perpe trated wpon the city.

It required the buge impudence of the monster monopolist of our day to plan and coolly carry out this oeandalcus spcliation of the city domata, ® the Samcay Laws!—Fhe ‘Tbune Shirke the Iseac. ‘The central organ of the black repubjican party ia in » terr ble state of mind over an ar- ticle which lately Sppeared ia ove of the weeklies in relation to the Sunday law which was enacted by the Inst Legislature. The arti: cle which bas eo exercised the Tribune philoso pbers takes the ground that the Savday law is the invention of the republican party, and thet the leaders ot that party are pansering to Pres- byterian cant and bigotry, at the expeoee of the working man, who finds in the Sabbath his only bolidsy. In opposition to this very well founded ac- cusation, the Tribune sets up « general denial. The observance of the Sabbath, esys our philoso- pher, “bas probably nothing to do with our current politics.” “Probably” it would not if there were no republican party to mske it an issue, The Tribune complains bitterly of the efforta which are madeto “draw all the loose and reckless pleasure seekers of our city into en attitude of hostility to the republicen party: but neither the tears mor the protesta- tions of the republican organ wilt avail agsinst eolid facts. Let us examine the matter. The constitu- tion of the United States, as it atards, pleces men of ali creeds upon the same political foot- ing. Our sires had suffered too much from the political power which was in the old time paced in the bands of the priesthood to con- tinue it under the new régime. The absence of anything like religious restriction in the fede- ral covstitution ewept away, with ove blow, all the tyrannical enactments of the Puritans, but id notextinguish the spirit of bigotry which ex- ieted in the bearts of certata pious people, whose faith consists im the belief that Heaven is a small private park, to which they have exclu- sive keys, and that everybody who tries to get in by scme means other than theirs will be ine vitably aod incontinent)y damned. Thissection of the community inciudes many persons of wealth and influence. They bave beeo able, at timer, to cause to be passed unconstitutional end tyra: nical acts, such as the Sunday laws wbich exist in many of the Nortbern States, end the sbsurd enactwent prohibiting the sale of spirituous liquors, known as the Maine law. These men worked with the republican majority, and got the pew Sunday law through our Legisleture. A republican Legislature passed it; a repablican Governor approved it, end the republican organ par excellence de fends it. Under these circumstances, we are very forcibly impressed with the fact that when the Tribune tries to worry the republican party out of the responsibility of the law, it is simply guilty of making an intentional falee statement, and ove which is quite gratuitous, ws it will not deceive aay seusible person for a mement. Neither the 7ribune nor the republican leaders can deny that wherever they have been in a mijcrity Poritavical legislation—legisla- tion having a direct tendency to abridge the freedom of the citizen avd to restrain the toil- ing wiltions from harmless recreation on the Sebbath— bas prevailed, im epite of its uncen- aud io defiance of the fact that it conflicts directly with the spirit of our insti- tutions. In the State of New York the repub- lican party fs directly responsible for the Siu- day law, and all otber enactments of the same character. They are engineered by the ultra brimatone snd blue fire section of the psrty, who, baving enriched themselves by the labor of the working mea so that they way play soy day in the week, seek to make the observance of the Sub>ath le- gally obligatory. That is the plain truth about the matter, snd the Tribune stakes in its shoes, beceure It keows very weil that if the teuth that euch legislation originates with the repab- Hicaps invariably ts put properly before tbe fifteen hundred thousand German aad Irish vo- ters in the country, bovest Oid Abe Lincola would not get the support of five thousand of them, and might as well have never split a tail or been judge of a horre race to his life, eo far as those accomplishments may be consid: ered as having aided in fitting bim for the Presi- dency. Parties, like men, must stand on tbeir op bottoms, aud the 7ri/une cannot be permit ted to mabe ene political bed for week days acd avother fir Senday. The Paritanica! laws are the children of the republican party: end ifthe unnetural mother insists upon desert- ing ber brate, sickly avd deformed thoagh they be, we murt raise our vuice agaiast such iaku manity. We arc quite shocked at such conduct oa'the part of so pure & philunthroyiet a» the Hon. Masts Greeley. Avmentrioy For tun Camraran — Several democratic associations which were established in this city and victaity tor campaiga purposes have lately been in acomatore state, on accoant of the fizzie at Charleston, Without a candidate, their copstitntions, by laws and documents of all sorts, were of no more value than so many old clothes. They attempted to open the political ebdop without any capitel wherewith to carry on the business, and therefore found them- selves compelled to put up the shatters, Their prospecta look brighter, however, now that the Richmond Convention bas’ adjourned over to Baltimore, where one or more nomina done will unéoubtediy be made, The clabs, committees and sesociations of all sorts caa then go to work with something tangibie to work for. Toe bieck republicans, on the otber hand, bave got their candidate, euch as be te (better thaa none, re presume), and their clubs have commenced the campaign in earnest. Among other things, they have iesued a new edition of the party gorpel!—the notorious Helper book. The now edition contatos all the taflammatory matter of the old one, and fs somewbay ampli fied by the addition of new materials of the fame character. It contains, likewise, the names of atl the Senators, members of Congress and other party leaders who have endorsed its treasonable and editions doctrines. The book, it is announced, has reached its one buo¢red and fortieth thousand, and i will, undoubtedly, be circulated to a very great extent during this summer and fall, the wealthy republicans coming down hand somely to pay for it, On the democratic side no money will be eubscribed until after the candidates are in the field. Thon the old com- mittees, and the new organ'zatione, ench as the Young Men's Committee and ibe National Demo cratic Volunteers, can take the @eld and fire red hot shot, in the sbope of ¢ocaments, news pepere, &c., into the enemy's camp. The elec tor eering field is eomowhat limited, and, there fore, the fight will be hotter. It will be of no wee to attempt to do anything with the South or with New Ergiand. The battle ground ts ia doven parties in business, Tax Works on Tus Centra Park.—lt is of the utmost importance that every facility shall be efforded to the Central Park Commissioners for actively pushing om the works in the Park during the fine season. No obstacles of a pe- cuniary pature should be allowed to stand in the wey of the rapid execution of the plans. It is to be regretted that so much valuable time sbould bave been lost in the spring, first by the hesitation of the Legislature, and then by the slower action of the olty Boards. If the Commiesicners bad been placed in possession of the funds which they required earlier in the reason, the works would have exhibited a oon- siderable advance upon their present state, grotifying as that is, On the 26th of April am ordivance was paseed by the Board of Aldermen suthorizing on emission of Central. Park stock to the amount of $250,000. In view of the magnitude of the operations to be carried on during the remainder of the year, we pronounced the sum at the time insufficient. Were the Commission- rs to put on the force of laborers which they could employ, without being able to count with certainty on the money to psy them, they must subject themselves to great embarrass- ments and endanger the regularity of their proceedings. The sum that was appropriated was too ewall to enable them to push forward the works with the epirit and energy which could be infused into them with the requisite command of funds. They therefore sent in a communication to the Board of Aldermen ov Mondsy, asking for an ordinance authorizing on ireue of stock to the smount of $833,000, being We entire sum that will be required for the operations of the current year, We trust that this matter will not be allowed to harg fire in the two Boards. The money has got to be puid at some time or other to the Commissioners, and every motive of policy and economy dictates that it shall be given to them as promptly as the necessary forms will permit. By furnishing them at once with the funds necessary for the carrent expenses of the year, they wiil be able to avail themselves of the fine weather and push for- ward the works with all “possible rapidity It will be uspardoneble if, through indifference or the absence of the corrupt stimulus usually applied to the business energies of the two Boards, the opportunity should be lost of ad vancing their execation toa point which will bext year Gouble the attractions of the Park. Te will be the leas excusable when it is takeu into account that the présent state of the money warket is peculiarly favorable for the dirposition of ths emount of stock required By issuing it now the money can be obtained at arate which a few months hence it may be impossible to getit at. We trust, therefore, that es the matter is one of mere form on the part of the two Boards, sad as there are no pick ings or stealings to be made out of it, they will love no time in giving effect to whe action of the Legisiature. Tuz War Amona Ovr Crry Orricrats.—The machinery of our city government sppears to bealways out of gear. There isa perpetual coa- flict guiag on between the different cepartments end the different officials, the cause of which the public can bardiy understand, but the evil eflecta whereof they are too oftea compelled to rea)izein the mismanagement of the most im- portant affairs concerning the interests cf the city.
