From ENGLAND.--The steamship Great
Western arrived at New York on Saturday
evening, bringing Liverpool dates to the
18th August. The Queen had given birth
TO another Prince. Afllirs in Morocco had
assumed more quiet aspect. The Empe
ror has been intimidated, aud the lombard
ment of Tangier, which was daily expected
will probably settle the trouble. Mehemet
Ali, the Parha of Egypt, has abdrca,ed N

are overhowing; the following is sketch Of the
first days proceedings Of the Convention;
At an early period, after the appointed time
Of meeting. the Cabin-immense as it is, was
crowded. The multitude was called to order by
Vincent Witcher, on whose motion Valentine w.
Southall was called to the Chair, and r. H.
Toer, Alexander Mosely, John S. Gallaher, and
John w Syme were appointed Secretaries.
A committee OF seventeen was appointed, on
motion Of Gen. Edward Waits, of Roanoke, to
nominate officers, report rules, &c.
| Mr. Andrew Hunter, Of Jefferson, then address
ed the Convention for about an hour. The de-
| light OF the audience was testified by numerous
bursts of applause.
The Convention adjourned to 4 o'clock.
AT o'clock the Convention again assembled,
and the Cabin was filled to OVERLOOKING The
names of the delegates in attendance, nearly 500,
were read
The Committee of seventeen nominated BEN

The report Of the Committee was unanimous
ly adopted. Mr.. Leigh, on taking the Chair, re-
turned thanks in speech characterized by all
the vigor of intellect chasteness and beauty of
diction, for which be is distinguished.
After the appointment OF various committees,
John Janney, of Loudon, was called upon, and
responded in a thrilling speech, Astounding in

weight in the election. The question, then,
turns upon the relative advantages of the general
ticket and district modes of votipg one or the
other of which, must, soon universally preuail
and it matters nothing 10 the sooerei gnty Of the
States, whether one shall be established by the
Consultation, or the other imposed by necessity !;
and, as the whole point of this objection is con-
fined TO the mere right OF choice, and of chang
ing the systems from time to time, il results,
thai. this right can be of no value where choice
is impossible and change not desirable
"Ihe second point in the objection is the sup
posed dimnution of the power of the State, is
that tendency to scatter the votes which the dis
,rct system is admitted to possess.
Admitting that unity Of its votes may be de-
sirable to a State that unity will be produced
by the district system, as often as the Stale de-
sires it. If the majorites in all the districts are
Of the same opinion, they will create the unity
by giving the same vote if they are not, it is
held to be violation Of the rights of SO many
districts as would have voted differently, to i'm
press their votes into the service OF the domi-
nant party in the General Assembly of the State.
In the general ticket mode of election, the vote
of the State is directed by the majority of the
State Legislature; the majority itself influenced
by some leading members; and The ticket thus
arranged is often made to triumph the chole State
10y the mere effect Of discipline, AND in OPEN
OF THE WILL OF THE AC-
TUAL SOVEREIGNS, The fair majority Of
the qualified uoters. IT is CAPABLE OF
DEMONSTRATION, THAT THE GENERAL
TICKET ELECTION, ESPECIALLY OVER
A LARGE SURFACE, is OFTEN NO ELEC-
TION AT ALL BY THE PEOPLE. A SMALL
AND ORGANIZED BODY SUPPLY THE PLACE OF
NUMBERS, BY UNITY OF DESIGN AND ENERGY OF
ACTION. WANT OF CONCERT IN THE BODY OF
THE PEOPLE WILL RENDER SUPERIOR NUMBERS
OF NO AVAIL Division will destroy their
strength, by scattering their votes; and antici-
patton Of defeat will insure, it, by preventing
numbers from going to the polls"
We might quote other passages from this able
report, equally pertinent to the subject now be-
fore the House, aud equally unanswerable by
argument; but our space admonishes US to
refrain.
1t is but just to remark, that the report from
which the above extract is taken, was upon
proposition SO to amend the Constitution as to
give the election Of President and Vice President
to the people; but the argument is not less APP
