Correspondence, of the New York Express.
Albany, Aug. /, l839.-The National
Anti-Savery Convention, consisting of
upwards of 400 delegates from every
State North of the Potomac, is now in
session here.
Two resolutions are under discussion,
by which political action is urged on the
anti.slavery party as the only means OF
success; and a pledge has been given not
to support any candidate who is not for
the immediate abolition of slavery.
Agood many speeches have been made.
mostly in favor of the resolutions, and
think they will be adopted. In the course
of debate. Henry Clay and Martin Van
Buren, are both openly denounced-the
one as ready with his veto to perpetuate
! slavery in the District of Columbia, tht
other as owning and driving 60 slaves OF
| his plantation.

THE NATIVE AMERICAN
EMIGRANT PAUPERS.

We copy the following from number of the
Mercantile Advertiser:
The ndscriminate emigration to this country
is crowding our cities with of the very worst
class of men, communicating all the vices and
follies of the worst European society. 1t is as
tonshing that this subject does not attract more
attention in our country. A correspondent has
called attention to this " crying evl'' III our CO.
lumns to-day. Werecommend its perusal to every
payer of taxes. The day is coming when we
shall in tears, regret our apathy on the subject
of indiscriminate emigration.
Emigrant Paper. A number of poor misera-
BILE wretches, emigrants, just landed, who passed
mp Broadway on Wednesday afternoon was a
subject of establishment and grief to all behoders.
These miserable people were covered with rags
many without hats some of the women with
out shoes-some with heads tied up--some with
bruised heads and black eves--looking like the
discharged loalers on proclamation day IN the
Sessions. No one Messrs. Editors, can doubt
where these people came from--no one can mis-
take they destined for our Aims House, already
too fxH of undeserving people.

l see that our public authorities suffer the paupers

and housed at the expense of our city.
1t is crying shame-our citizens every where

and speedily. Is there no Independent, spirited
member of the Common Council who will bring
this subject before the Board | beseech the
Editors of the city papers to take up this subject
seriously, and discuss it fully for the Information
Of their readers.
The taxes of This city are enormous, and very
large and far too great portion is enailed on the
industrious man to support the out cast professed
paupers of Furope-paupers, many of whom are
wickedly sent away by overseers of the English
poor, to prevent law suits when the settlement
of the pauper is disputed. How many of this
class have been sent out from London? Is not
the fact that the overseers Of Surry sent out
paupers to New York, notorious! Will our
worthy Mayor venture to contradict it? Does
not the experience of the Magistrates on this sub
ject prove this assertion! Why is not remedy
applied? What difficulties prevent remedy !
Will any of the worthy members of the present or
late Board of Aldermen answer these queries Z!
When they do shall be happy to reply to them.

THE LICENSE LAVA NEW PLAN.

A correspondent suggests the following plan
for gradual reduction Of the number of licensed
spirit shops in this State, We notice, in the re-
port of the proceedings of the Legislature, that
petitions have already been presented from some
towns in the interior, praying for notifications OF
the license law; and we apprehend there arc not
few places where the vendors of ardent spirits
would themselves, as in the case of Syracuse,
take the lead in measures for the suppression of
the traffic. The suggestions of our correspond
ent trust, will receive the attention which they
merit.-N. z. Observer.
Let law be passed permitting each town, vii
lage city in the State to decide for itself the
question, whether any licenses shall be granted in
such town, village or city, and, if any, how many
in each-the subject to be decided on some day.
on which no other business shall be done, and
which shall be most free from political feeling
The advantages of this measure are:
l. 1t is direct appeal to the people for the ex-
ercse Of self-government, and therefore demo
cratic in its principle.
Q. 1t will keep the subject clear of political di-
visions and bitterness, and permit political oppo-
nents to act together.
8. 1t will most efficiently dihuse light on the
subject.
4. 1t rests on persuasion alone for success.
5. The strength of the motives which will be
presented at these discussions ensures its eventual
success. A small proportion of the towns will
prohibit licenses the first year, the next more, &c.
6. Measures can be adapted to the peculiar 81
tuation of each place, and the results will be
seen, and the same adopted or rejected by others.
7. The results springing from all enlightened
public opinion will be permanent
8. The results, pecuniarily, morally, poti-
cally, and on individual and family happiness,
will be most suspicious.

CHARACTER OF THE PRESS.

WADpY THOMPSON, of Soath Carolina, in a
speech lately made on the floor OF Congress, took
occasion to say, ''that the press of the United
States was less pure, less Independent, and far
more abject in its dependence on power, than that
of any other country on the face of the globe. -
The Washington correspondent of the Pennsyl-
vania Inquirer endorses Mr.. Thompson's state
ment as follows
The fact is, that there is no such thing as an
independent press in this Union. Such press
cannot exist; and the man who attempts to get up
and conduct any such engine will find, and very
quickly too, that lie cannot exist. The man who
will attempt to act independently with the press
the ass who should be led to believe that he
can, in this country, conduct press, and speak
boldly and faithfully the unbiased sentiments OF
an American freeman, will soon be painfully con,
WINGED that he knows nothing Of the human heart
or human character. No matter whether the press
be devoted to politics, literature, theology, or the
sciences, it is in state of perpetual bondage; and
SO it must remain, till we become a liberal and
enlightened people. The remark may be rude
one, but it is none the less true on that account
And until some ages have passed away, the PEG.
pie of the United States may well cease to
pirate about an "independent press
If the people concur in opinion with the above
they have an ample field open before them for the
exercise of their reforming power.-INich. Cit,

sylvania, on Wednesday, March 6, Mr.. Smith, OF
Philadelphia, from the committee to whom was
referred Mr.. Espys proposition to produce rain
articially, reported in favor of granting Mr..
Espy-
"a sum equal to the expenses of making the
experiment, if he shall cause it to rain over ter
ritorv of 1000 square miles; the sum of $685.
900 if he shall cause it to rain over territory of
5000 square miles; and the sum of 900 if he
shall cause it to rain copiously territory
of $1,000 square miles, or in such quantities as
shall keep the Ohio river navigable during the
whole summer, from the City of Pittsburg to the
Mississippi river; the larger sum i'll each case to
exclude the smaller; and the Governor is hereby
authorized and required to appoint three impartial
and competent persons TO witness and Judge OF
the said experiments, who SHALL at the times and
places appointed by the said James P. Espy, at
tend for that purpose, and upon such experiments
being fully made and completed, the said persons
shall certify to the Governor the result thereof,
and if the same shall be successful, the Governor
shall draw his warrant on the Treasurer Of the

entitled to under this resolution"

now to be found in New Orleans than at any pre-

by no means our intention to insinuate that all the
unfortunate disposed to rob or commit other
unlawful acts; but it must be admitted that our
floating population has never before been put to
so many shifts at present in order to sustain,
life.
Albeit, far fiom being disposed to advocate I'M

clans are like the "horse eecher's daughter" in
cessant in their cry for ''more, more, more!"
And what do we infer from the above! Why,
that where the crowd becomes troublesome, we
must concoct war with some nation on some
pretence that we may obtain relief by making this
INDECENT surplus population STOOD for g,lnpow-
der"
1t is this state of society which accounts for
the war spirit that the Baltimore Patriot seems
to deprecate in the following article:
WAR.-It would be almost amusing, did not
the subject invovle results of grave and serious
import to remark with what an air of chivalry,
and through disregard of consequences. some per-
sons speak of a war between the United States
and England. Deeming the probable results ola
'.long and bloody war" between two powerful
nations matter entirely unworthy of thought,
they affect to speak of WAR as a thing of course,
in case the boundary question cannot be at once
adjusted in any other way. In fact, some res
pectable persons, and presses, if we mistake not,
intimate that would be the best, or at least
the most welcome mode to them of ''adjusting'
this question.
But whose goeth to warfare without first count
ing the charges? Neither England nor the Uni
ted States, at this time of day, as confidently
ltrust-however these temporary exctements on
the lines, and the lots of chivalry up and down
the world, might tend to produce a different re-
suit. The border difficulties, we doubt not, will

4 Travelling Bog.-sunday night, the night
of the eventful storm, three acres of the Bog of
Glounamuckalough, within miles Of Newman

position, and after traversing distance of mile,
and crossing rapid river, landed on the opposite
side. Not an atom of surface is to be seen
where the Bog left, but mere yellow mould. The
occurrence fortunately has not done any injury to
houses cattle, but it is an incaculable loss to

The Slavs Case Decidcd.-Mr. Recorder Nor
ris has decided in the case of the slave Calacita'
the attendant upon the daughter of Don Jaclnto
Texidor, from the Island Of Porto Rico, now on
visit in this city, that she became free the mo-
ment she entered this State. This DECISION, now
ever, does not extend to the slaves OF any OF the
slaveholding States of the Union, but only to
those of foreign States, Kingdoms, &c.
The slave Calacita was then informed, through
an interpreter, that " she was a free woman and
had the right to go where she pleased and when
she pleased, and that she could remain in this
city or go home
She elected to return home with her masters
daughter, and said that she was married and
wished TO return to her husband and parents.
Here the matter rests.-Jr. Com.
The law by which the Porto Rico slave was
made free ought to be amended, SO that when one
is made free, he or she may be compelled to stag
free.
