ing ''the great problem OF the age" The Worlds
Convention, which met last week, broke up after
ten days OF debate about everything, for the pur-
pose Of solving "the great problem of the present
age" and just before it closed, the following resolu-
tlons, offered by Mr.. Owen, were passed. and their
acceptance is considered grand victory over the
ignorance and folly of the time, and an admirable
solution of the ''great problem OF the age" But
really we must confess that we are as much in the
dark as ever, about 'the great problem OF the age"
Here, however, is the "World's Convention" solu-
ton of "the great problem Of the age:"-
RESOLUTIONS.

cessvely amusing, which were reported, and others
which were not reported, but not less amusingy
illustrative of "the great problem of the age" John
A. Collins nearly went into commissions whilst abu-
sing the newspaper press, in his zeal to solve "he
great problem OF the age" reporter Of the Tri-
bune, inspired by beer and tobacco, threw off his
coat and went at John A. Collins tooth and nail. in
order to give his solution of 'the great problem of
the age"
To-day the Founentes will give us their solution of
''the great problem OF the age" Park Goodwin, late
editor Of the Euening Post, Geo. H. Evans anti
rent editor A. E. Bovey, anti-rent orator, and VIM.
H. Charming, assistant editor fthe Tribune, and the
prophet, priest and king of the Fourertes have is
sued their bulletin, and call on the democratic par
ty, the abolition party the temperance party, the
peace party, the moral reform party the association
party the national reform party, the tagrag and bob
tail party, and every other party and them in the
solution of ''the great problem of the age" Really
we think, we will now behold, made clear as mud,
'the great problem of the age"
CAssrUs NJ CLAY ONCE MORE IN THE FIELD
Cassus M. Clay has come out with long and prosy
statement in vindication of his conduct at Lexing-
ton, which the Tribune and other abolition organs
are industriousy circulating. This statement is
merely rehash OF the old stuff, and is fanatical and
lncendiary in the extreme. 1t can only have the
tendency Of exciting still more the passions of the
fanatics, and aggravatlng the spirit of hostility
against Clay himself. In fact, this abolition ques-
ton is going to have very important practical bear
ing on the Convention about be held in this State
relative to the right of voting. If the colored peo-
pie be placed by the new Constitution, which the
"refomers" propose to give U.S. on the same footing
with the Anglo-Saxon race as to the right OF SUI
frage, why then New York will be an abolition
State, and consequences Of the most lamentable
kind in relation to the Southern States must be the
result.
RELIGIOUS QUARRELLlNG-The manifestations of
the quarrellng disposition amongst the religious peo-
pie OF this age, are most singular and most amusing
All sects and parties have their quarres, except it
would appear, the " old mother church" squatted on
the seven hills. The Mehodists-Baptsts-E
palians-Presbyterians, all quarrel, and even the
Hebrews themselves now at it with great zeal
and fury. We observe thata small Hebrew conpre-
CATION, which meets in Elm street once week.
cannot assemble in that respectable neghborhood
without the assistance of a police force to keep the
peace. Indeed, the posterity of Abraham have in
dlcated on several recent occasions, as fierce and
bitter spirit against each other, even they did in
Jerusalem previous to its fall by the arms of Titus
the Roman Emperor.
