This body assembled in New York in the
9Th inst. There were four hundred dcle5ates
in attendance The credentials of eleven
hundred delegates were received by the Sec
rotary. The proceedings of which we can
give but mere epitome, were highly interest
ing,developing by the exhibition of vast num-
Der of undisputable facts the immense iinpor-
lance of protection to all the various interests
of the country. 1t was most conclusively

been extended it has reduced, the price Of

reports to congress. At the close of the con-
vention, il was voted that there be National
Convention Of the Home League in the CITY
of New York in October next, during the
Fair of the American Institute. The reports
of the several committees were highly edify-
ing to the political economist, and embodied
a mass of information which will not fail to
have a salutary effect upon the public mind in
favor of the protective system, without the a.
doption of which this country will be doomed
to become the servants of servants, among the
the nations of the earth.
We subioin the following reports among
others:
Mr.. S. Oakley then reported on the subject
of the production Of Iron, including Nails,and
tracing the history and progress of the Trade
in this country, down to the present time.
The number of persons dependant on the
Iron business for subsistence is now over two
hundred and fifty thousand; the wages paid
them annually over Eighteen Millions of dol.
lars; the amount of Agricultural productions
consumed by ITEM about Eleven Millions per
annum. The total annual product of Iron IS
about twenty-five millions; capital employed
about twenty millions; including Mines and
Woodlands, thirty millions. This capital will
be almost wholly destroyed by horizontal

THE MAYORS ELECTION-THE

Robert FL. Morris, Esq, is reelected Mayor
OF the city by about 1900 majority. This re-.
suit was anticipated, and creates no disappoint-

This Election has been the first test of the
new election Law, and has fully developed and
restored the old plan of colonzing, and of re-.
moval from ward to ward, with all the concom.

The frauds, however, under the new Law
are aggravated by division of the old II nj.

THE WINGS VICTORIOUS
A JUST RETRIBUTIONi!
A WHIG COMMON COUNCUII

The Legislation at Albany in spite of the
remonstrances of all our Senators from this
District. and under the threat of Catholic
Ticket approved by the Roman Catholic Bishop
Hughes, passed at midnight, under party drill,
an act yielding the Public Schools of the city
10 Catholic clamor and dctation. The Party
that passed the act knew it TO DO wrong, and
that it shocked Protestants of every religious
denomination, but it was passed, nevertheless,
TO save the City Office Holders their salaries
for another year.
The act, however. so shocked the Protestant
common sense of the city, that party lines
have been pretty will broken down TO give the
Wings the Common Council, uLich bodu alsne
has all the patronage Of the city, the Mayors
power being but barren sceptre. Now, while
the Tammany Mayor has a majority of about
1900, the Wings have 20 of the "a Common
Council men.
Tammany men, themselves have done this.
and they have Indignantly hurled from power
the very Office Holders whom this Catholic
School Bill was passed especially to save.
To possess the Common Council of the
great city. our readers at home we'll know is a
great victory, but it may be necessary to say
to readers abroad that its power and privileges
equal that of most of the States of the Union.
The loss of this body is terrible blow to the
Loco Focoism of the city. 1t pains them more
than would the loss of the State and when the
result was known, there was weeping and wall
ing in Tammany Hall.
The wings have nine of the II wards and
thus they will have the election of the com.
mssioners, the inspectors, and Inc trustees of
the public schools, in June,to give the appoint
ment of whom to Loco Foco Common Coun.
Gil, this year, was part Of the special act of
the Legislature.

spectors next fall. ". Y. Express.

ularly in the warmly contested Wards such
as the 4th and It'll.
The frauds have aroused the i'll feeling that
was wont to be manifest during the elections
under the old system; and the consequence
has been serious riots, and the destruction OF
property, from which, under the Registry Act,
the City, even in the fever ola Presidential
Election, was free. The Registry Act Is gone
and then follows of course i'll blood on both
sides, from the belief that the Elections are
not fairly conducted, neither party under a
promiscuous system of voting ever being sat-
sfed that in particular ward, it can be fairly
beaten.
