The subject offors a wide scope, aud it will no doubt receive a masterly handling from Mr, Vineent, whosc abilities, eloquence and steadfast sympathy with our canse dur- ing the terrible four yoars' conflict em y qualify him to deal with it. Mr, Viucent comes among us with a high reputation as an orator. and a zealous aad consistent advocate of Reform iz the political institu- tions of his nativecountry; but that which willchiefly recommend bim to an American audience and secure for him & Learty welcome fzom all Loyal Americans is the fact that, among the fow eminent men in England who stood firmly by us during the gloomiest period of our recent troubles, he eccepied a prominent place. Such men, nobly faithful to the cause of Freedom amid abounding faithlessness, deserve all homor at our hands. We donbt uot that there will ba a large gathering on Friday evening to give this worthy friend of John Bright, from whom he brings a lettes crodential, a gene i GOl FENTON. On the eve of our last State Couvention, we were favored with sundry suggestions—some of thew more directly from friends in other States—that Gov. Fenton should give place to a stronger and more popular candidate. We responded after this fachion: “Gov. Feuton ran in 1854 on the same ticket with President Lincoln, but very considerably abeadof him; and he-had a larger majority thav any other man on our State Ticket. His vote then was larger than any other candidate ever received in our State; and we are not aware that he has done a alcu- lated to forfeit or lessen the esteem of Lis fellow- citizens, Ou what ground, then, can you assume that he is weak, or that enother candidate would be strongev*” Though we closed with an interroga- tion, the correspondence here came to a full stop. There were plansible grounds for the belief that Gov, Fenton would now run behind. He bad felt cone strained to veto several bills in which great local and pecuniary interests were involved, and was certain to lose some votes m consequence. He had signed the bill regulating aud restricting the sale of Liquors, es- pecially on Sundays, and had inearred thereby the hostility of a powerful and wealthy interest, which was bent on his defeat. He bad made a few mistakes in the exercise of the pardoning power, and had therenpon been most unjustly aseailed asa whole- sale pardoner, when in fact be bad pardoned fewer per annum than either of his predecessors for the last twelve years. He had incurred the intenso batred of one who had long been regarded as the Warwick of our State—whose opposition was popularly regarded as fatal. We do not blame those who feared that Gov. F. must be beaten if nominated, and who there- fore desired that he should give way to another, ‘But to whom? and why? The attorney of the liquor-dealers gave us fair notice that we could not placate his clients by changing our candidate—that they were fully resolved to beat any candidate pro- posed by the party which passed the Excise act of 1966. Being thus constrained to fight any Low, it was better not to fight on a retreat. The localities aggrieved by bis vetoea would ot be satisfied withany otherthan a nominee virtually pledged tosignsuch bills s he had vetoed; and that would probably disaffect more than it conciliated. Our Warwick bad at length gone openly, avowedly over to the adversary; s0 we could not bope to win &is favor by changing our can- didate, unless we discarded our principles also, It seemed, on a calm survey of the field, that duty con- curred with incliation, policy with bonesty, in dic- tating the course indicated by the Irishman's axiom: “The best way to avoid danger is to meet it half- way." We renominated Gov. Femton by acclamation, though we renominated no otber of our State officers whose terms now expire. We went to the people with 1iis name at the head of our ticket, and demanded bis reiilection as the rightful meed of his services to the State and Union. Apologizing for no act of his life, shrinking from no attack, deprecating no criticism, we asked the people to reélect bim because he represented their principles, and because he had done right. The combinations by which he was assailed were very formidable, The dealers in Liquor and Lager were well orgahized, and spent large sums to defeat him. Tuey certainly swelled the majoritis against bim in this City and Brooklyn by at least 10,000, and they did bim some harm elsowhere, Then the power aud patronage of the Federal Government—vastly in- creased within a few years past—were wielded with desperate energy for his defeat, Tbis was so much which told for bim in'64 and against him in '66. Then the personal adherents of Messrs. Weed and Sew- ard—a considerablethough diminished party of active and skillful politicians—were impelled to do their worst against Lim. Add to these all who were aggrieved by his vetoos, or disaffected Ly thio false charges respecting his pardons, and it will be real zed that he had mach Lo coutend with. Vot Lie s redlectad by quite double the majority of Mg, Livcola o 1394 o4d by ugwly dyuble bis owa, So dosperate an effort was made to defeat especially, and so ready were Lis adversaries to give anything elsoin exchange for a Hoffman vote, that we presume bLe is at least 1,000 votes behind his col- leagues; yet Lis official majority must exceed 14,000; while theirs, we think, will be above 15,000, Con ng that the money spent and the patron- ago wiclded by bis adversarics very far exceeded those employed on his side, we submit that Gov. Fenton has made a capital run, and that the confic dence of his Yriends in bis personal strength bas been fully justified. Should he ever again be a can- didate, we trust our-friends in other States will lose sprehension of his discomfiture, no sleep throug! SPAIN. A cable dispatch, undoubtedly originating with the Spanish Government, contradicts the report of an in- surrection having broken out in Barcelona. The character of the Spanish Government ig so well known that it is hardly necessary for us to cantion our readers against this official denial, which stands more in need of confirmation than the original report, No- thing is moro certain than that the political excite- ment in Spain has reached a erisis, and that the coun- try is ripe for a great revolution, A fow years ago Spain showed some sizns of reform and progress. Commissioners were sent to Germany, France and othor countries to study their systems of public instruction, and a reorganization of the Spanish colieges was begun. Railroads and telegraphs were built in various parts of the Kingdom, and greater at- tention was paid to agriculture. Sufficient liberty was allowed to the press to diffuse among larger classes of tho people political knowledge, and give pew strength to the progressive party. It was thought that Spain had been fally aroused from her old leth- argy, and the progress of her material presperity seemed to be s fully secured that Louis Napeleon as one of the Great formally proposed her recog: Powers of Europe. But during the last two or three years the aspeet of the country has again greatly deteriorated. The Governfent is fully aware of the wide-spread dissat- isfaction of the people, and to defend its imperiled existence it has recourse to themost desperate means. Liberty of the press bas been wholly destroyed, and all the Liberal papers have been suppressed. The leading men of the Liberal Opposition are in jail, in exile, or, at least, doomed to absolute silence. And are Spaniards who read French, the woral of Madrid has issued an order in- ing the circulation or exposure of any foreign newspaper which has at any times given offense to the Church or the Court by the freedom of its . The ister of the Iuterior, Gonzales Bravo, has advised the Queen to set aside the law which makes the municipal councils remewable by alternate halves by an arbitiarily-assumed authority, and to order iona for the whole of the councilors of eaeh corporation, thus getting rid of those who have still a term of office to serve. Iu support of this prope , be b in a report to the Queen, represented that the councils are at present composed of **conspirators aud street revolutionists.” Nothing could better show the extremely danger- ous position of the Spanish Government. Bissatis- faction with the rule of the Bourbons ismo longer coufined to the large cities, but extends to every little town and hamlet. Let the insurrection once be sue- cessful in one district, and soon the whole country will be in arms, Government relies only on the army; but the b f revolts during the last few years clearly proves that the soldiers are largely uader the influence of the Liberal leaders, and ¢an no longar be relied upon iu case of acivil war, Thus the last dynasty of Bourbons in Europe is hastening ouward to its collapse, which ¢ ot be far away. very —_— IMMIGRATION. The uumber of foreign immigrants who arrived in this city from January 1 to October 31 was 202,440, against 156,151 iu 1565, an increase of 46,250, More than one-half of this increase is in the nuaber of Germans, of whowm this year 56,461 have come over, against 61,243 in 1865, It isa noteworthy eircam- stance that the increase was much larger during the first months of the year than during the latter. In fact, it seemed for eeveral months as though this year the number of immigrants would be fully double that of the preceding year. The diminishing rate of increase is owing to several causes, one of which, as we koow from many private as well as from public acconnts, was the general opinion in Etrope that the inexplicable conduct of the President of the United States conld not fail todring on another crisis. This fear is wholly disappearing, in consequence of the recent elections, and the present indications are that the new year will again witness a very consid- erable increase in tho foreign immigration- It is gratifying to see that the increase is not ouly in the number of immigrants, but also in quality. The great majority of those who now come over are indus- trious, sturdy laborers, generally possessed of some means, who at onee find some profitable employment in our mannfacturing establishments, or betake them- selves to the West and become gettlers on the soik The fact that labor among us continues to be in great degand and commands much higher wages than in the Old World, is becoming better understood, and numerons applications are, therefore, made to compa- nies, like the American Emigrant Compauy, which act as a gratuitous intelligence office, and refer the European laborers to employers who are in need of an increase of labor. From Sweden alone the above Company bas during the present year brought over 3,400 people, being nine-tenths of the whole number of immigrants of this nationality, and considerably more than double the entire Swedish immigration for 1864, and more than five times the average number of arrivals from that country for the four years from 1860 to 1364 inclusive. At the close of the war, it seemed for some time as though the Southern States would make a special offort to compets with the Wost in inviting foreign la- bor. De Bow, in his sensible letter to Gov. Perry of South Carolina, advised the South to adopt the same policy with regard to foreiguers in which the West had been go eminently successful. Capitalists a!l over the North were willing to make large investments in Southern land and in the establishment of Southern manufactures. The attention of the German, Irish, English and other emigrants was attracted to the faot that the South, as well as the Weat, was possessed of immense resouroes, and, if only the Southern people acted rightly, could hold out fully as great induce- ments to the industrious emigrant as the West, No one who has paid attention to the subject of immigra- tion can doubt that the Southern States really had it in their power to become successful rivals of the West. But the opportunity has been lcst. Tho failare of the Southern Statea to cowe to an understanding with the loyal States, and to resume their old place in the Union, the aristocratic contempt which the Southern plenters continued to show of la- bor, Ulack as well as white, and the absurd and ontrageous labor laws which some States like Toxas have recently enacted, are much better under- stood in Europe than the leaders of public opinion in the South imagine. If the Southerners want to know the effect of their suicidal policy, let it look at the im- migration statistics. All the efforts to turn the cur- ront into Southern channels bave been signal failures. The European workmen shun the South now as be- fore the war. Tho few who have been induced to go there talk of leaving, and instead of obtaining an in- orease of population, the Soutlern States are even threatened with the exodus of their native Unionists, In the meanwhile, the Westorn States continuo to i orease once more with wonderful rapidity in popula- tiou aud weaith, Towus agd villages spiiug up ia all ' directions, railroads and telegraphs multiply, {SDAY, business man who can appreciate the comwercial side of this migration of nations finds the same field for business operations on the largest scale o before, In union with the progress of the Pacific Railroad, the continuance of immigration bids again fair to yre- duce marvelous results, which the census of 1870 will make known. Unless the Southern States—with or without the consent of the governing class—shall soon get better State Governments than they bave at present, they will, in 1870, make a poor show by the side of the rising West, NEGROES IN TRIGONOMETRY AND THE CLASSICS. If that large class of Americans, imported and pative, who have been educated to express their bhatred of equal rights and their prejudice against race by mouthing with hot rage, or airy contempt, the word ** Nigger " could be compelled to visit in detachments the Philadelphia Institute for Colored Youth, on Shippen-at., they would speedily get cured of the false ideas upon which Slavery in the United States sought a logical and lawful foundation, and which now inspire the opponents of impartial suffrage to resist the extension of the ballot to the Black man. We visited this school last week, and for two days witnessed its annual Commencement exercises, We saw there abundance evidence: 1. That under the management and instruetion of colored teachers, male and female, there is in Phila- delphia a school for the education of girls and boys in the Latin and Greek Classics, the Mathematics, His- tory, Geography and Composition, which i3 fally equal to the best of the endowed academies of Massa- chusetts and New-Hampshire, Thia is saying a great deal, but we will stand by it. 1L. We saw that under the development of this cul- ture, farored by the strong social position which the colored gopulation in Philadelphia have attained in that freest of our great cities, there wers 181 boys and girls of African descent as intelligent, ow self-respect- ful, as well-mannered, as well-dressed, end as promis- ing as the same number of school children in any of the best schools in New-England. To be more specific —we saw @ large school ef colored pupils, who in no respect, save eolor and features, differed at a¥l from the best educated and most carefully trained white boys and girls of the same age in the best Academies of the Northern 8tates. In all respects they were fally their equals. 1L We saw colored children of both seses, be- tween the ages of 12 and 19, rigidly examined in Xenophon's Anab: and the Greek Testament, in Virgil's Eneid, Cicero’s orations and Horace's-songs, in plane and spherical trigonometry, Legendre’s ge- ometry, algebra, mental arithmatie, English analysis, history and geography, and saw that they understood and huew what they recited—tfiat they were radi- cally and thoroughly instructed—that their answers to questions were not exercises of memory—that they bad not been drilled parrot-like for a public show, and that they had successfully received from colored instructors the educations which our best schools give white children preparatory to entering college. IV, We heard compositions read and declamations delivered upon such themes as ** The Essential Fea- tare of a Republic,” * Music as an Element of Wor- ehip,” *“'fhie Education of Women,” *“The Age of Poricles,” “ The American Congress,” * The Province of Poetry," * Individual Effort,” **The New Rome,” “The Two Cwsars.” These performanoes—original, marked with thonght, of a high grade of excellence in the use of language and structure of sentences, and full of generdus feeling and morality—had they been lis- tened to by the most prejudiced upbolders of caste, would surely have shamed them out of all further talk about the inferiority of the African race, and brought them to a candid confession that there is no- thing in the organization of the colored Ameriean which should withboeld from bim complete political enfranchisement—nothing in bis character or capaci- ties which can longer uphold the mean and cowardly lie that the Government of the United States was in- tended to be a ** White Man's Government.” Richard Humphreys, a member of the Society of Friend™g Philadelphia, proparing for his death in the year 1522, devisod $10,000 in trust * to.instruct de- scendants of the African race in school learning, in the various branches of the mecbanic arts and trade, and in agriculture, in order to prepare and qualify them to act as teachers in those branches of useful business.” That little sum of money was the seed from which bas grown up the Shippen-st.. Colored High Sciool. It would well repay o visit by any generous and public- | spiritod man 1n this city. The example of beneficence and patriotism sct by the Quaker Humphreys, if fol- lowed in New-York by some citizen iutrusted with great wealth, would produce results of the highest so- cial and political value. THE STATE QF AFFAIRS IN TEXAS The following is an extract, which we are penmitted to make, from a letter written by a gentleman now in Texas—Limself a uative Southerner, who bas never been in a Northern State, and who has the best means of knowing the condition of thivgs about which he writes, to a Southern gentleman now in this city, The lotter ix dated Oct. 26, and says: +In matbers in whick freedme and are still ruled by the pistol and sible for those people 10 receive the loast justice from the civil suthorities. The oflicers of the Freedmen's Bureau are cor- recting the diiculty ss fast as thoy possibly ean, and Tam Tappy to say that they are meeting with success, although they ure compelled to act entirely by military authority, as the adver cates of the President’s * pol iu this State would not hesi- tate 10 #oop to auy crime, if by so doing they could cheat the freedmen. + A relation of the harbarities that have been and still are in flicted on these people would cause your blood to chill and the cheek of the Nation to blush with shame—to think that b this free goverument such monsters are allowed to live. Munder hos been no uncommon thing. The survivors are debarred from reporting outrages to the Buread by thrents of immediaie extormbuation. Those in civil authority are not the least bit better. ‘They smile at all such crimes, and do not make tho least exertion to bring the guilty parties to justice. “Were it not for the military, God ouly knows what would become of those poor people—not We freedmen alone, but the Joyal whites, would also fall vietims to ‘wy policy.” ¥wish I was capablo of picturing to you, in thelr true colors, the trials, privations and sufferings of theseloyal people, white aud black “You can form no idea of what the condition of irs s Dbeen and still .

Universal suffrage must be given o those people, or they must quit the oountry=it is the only witernstive left them.” ~Two other letters, to the same effect, from other parties (one of whom is well known to wmavy in New- York=himself also a Southerner), might be here gnoted, as showing a similar state of things in other of the State—the three letters having been written by gifferent persons from different parts of Texas. 8o much for the effects of the sort of **recory. struction” favorod by the modern * Moses.” Shortly before the collayse of the Rebellion, Capt.
