m NhCls IN AND
From presen. appearances, and from all we can
learn, we are disposed to think that the number
of emigrants that will leave the old world to seek
their fortunes in the new, will be greater this year
ensuing, than il has been ever before. For num-
Der Of years past, the tide of emigration has been
increasing, but last year it went far beyond the
regular ratio of increase, in consequence of the
short crops and the apprehension of famine
The rot in the potato this year is far more gene
raj and more extended than it was last, and the
apprehension of great scarcity in the necessa-
ries ofhfe, is not confined to England or Ireland,
but extends TO the continent of Europe.
The effect that this will have in promoting emf
grafton is apparent. The hungry millions of Eu-
rope look with longing eyes to the United States
they view it as country Astounding with milk
and honey-as, in fact, their only rescue from i'm
pending famine, and though not as dear to them
the land ofther birth, still safe refuge for all
their Ills and panacea for all their sufferings.-
Nor can il be denied that the annual accession
that's made to our population by increase, is Of
the highest value and importance to our country.
We are so stuated-our country is so extensive
the vast domains of the west, now a perfect will
derness, untrodden save by the foot of the
wage, and Astounding with all the requisites for
furnishing the necessares as well as the luxuries
Of man-that all the surplus population of the
old world for fifty years to come, would not be
more than sufficient to enable us to develope our
resources, and attain the great rank we are des-
tined to take among the nations ofthe world.
While we deplore the misery that must ensue
from short crops in Europe, we rejoice that next
year will bring us greater increase to our popu-
lation than we have ever seen.
ANXIETY AMONG THE HUGE PAws.-There are
dozen or two democratic candidates for Congress
from this city. Who are to be the fortunate
ones!
According to the last accounts, Alderman Hart
was ahead of Alderman Stoneall in the Third Dis
trict, although the chances of the latter were
Frightening. William B. Maclay, and Hold-over
Shaler, who for three months fed eight thousand
poor democrats, were even in the Fourth District;
Thomas Dunn English was ahead of d. G. Brode-
rick in the Fifth District; and Charles O'Conor
had lost ground with the women of the Sixth Dis
trict, in consequence of his efforts in the State
Convention, to take away their property to give
to their husbands
There appears to be very little opposition
against Jim Connor for County Clerk. 1t is pro-
bable that he will get what he deserves-the no.
mination.
There are twenty or thirty who would like to be
sheriff. for more reasons than one. 1t is better to
call upon our friends as sheriff. than to haveany
one call upon us in that capacity. The huge paws
ought to have another meeting at Tammany Hall
before they make their nominations.
Apropos to politics, can any one tell us the name
Of the native candidate for Governor!

several vlrtuous and intelligent females having
been ruined by the arts Of villains who ensnare
them, through the medium of advertisements for
them to accompany families travelling, and also
through intelligence offices. We desire to caution
all females against these snares; and warn them
not to engage with any person, without having
first satisfied the mselves OF his or her respectable
lily and position. BY taking this course, they
may escape falling into the pit designed for them
MOVEMENTS, &c.--We learn that Ex-President
Tyler and family have arrived in town, and are at
