worlds Peace Convention.

We are permitted to make the following eX-
tract from letter written by Mr.. DurEcc dele
gate to the Convention alluded to:
PARIS, August 22nd, clock, 2. NJ.
/ have Just returned from the first sitting OF
the Congress of Nations. 1t was organized by
choosing Victor Hugo, celebrated French
writer, as President. ! should think there were
nearly two thousand persons present, probably
one third of them delegates Several French
and English gentlemen addressed the Congress
this afternoon: they spoke with deep feeling and
the whole assembly seemed enthusiastic at their
remarks President Mahan. of Ohio, also made
very good speech. The eloquent Mr.. Vim
cent, NJ. p, of England, also made Il speech
Mr.. Golden is to speak to morrow. 1t is with
sincere regret have to say that NJ. ID Lamar
tine is i'll and will not be able to attend.
Some persons horo think it is rather an unfa
vorable time to hold Peace Convention at Par
is the present time, but am obliged to dissent
from this opinion: look upon it as the very time
to give proper direction to the various ele-
ments of mind that are now raised to the highest
point of agitation in France and many other
portions of Europe The whole world is now
struggling for deiverance from oppression, and
the Peace Society, in my mind, seems to be the
very agent in the hands of God to redeem itfrOm
profgacy, bigotry, and narrow and contracted
theology. have the fullest confidence i'll the
most glorious results of this great gathering
from different nations.
TWAS really gratifying to see so many noble
hearts and brilliant ntelIects gathered together
this afternoon for the purpose propagating the
glorious sentim nj of Peace on earth and good
will to men. | will rejoice and thank God for
the consong b lief | have, that a new era is
about to be ush2rcd in, by which nations shall
learn War no more.
One great difficulty the committee of arrange
ments have met with here is,the want Of bniId-
ing large enough to accommodate the Congress,
The building we occupy is the largest that can
be obtoined-it was crowded full to day. Eidu
Bdsritt is here, and seems highly gratiicd at the
result of his labors. The session will continue
until Saturday evening

IT. Senator Walker attended the late Hunke

Ex-senator Walker attended the late bunker
Convention at Madison, for the purpose, appears
of making that long promised explanation as to
his course in the last Congress. As near as we
can gather he was moi very cordially received
by the convention, and an indisposilion to listen
to him was decidedly manifested. We under
stand he had his books, papers, maps, etc, all
ready for set speech, but the GOODNESS of the
convention awedh him down to a few brief remarks
with promise that the whole matter should APP
pear in print in few days. The design of Mr..
Walker in this forthcoming manifesto is, we be-
liavc, to show that his amendment of last winter
was one of the most magnificent Wimot proyisos
that it ever entered into the heart of man to con-
ccve, and compared with himself all other free
soiers little better than slavery propagandists
1t makes us smile tothink of the chagrin Of " my
friend Foote," and one or two others of similar
stamp when Mr.. Walker proves the free soil
character of the amendment they assisted to con-
coct, and also his own free soil character, as the
cat $ paw used to put it forward.

The Emperor of Austria has extended to the
end of September the amnesty hitherto offered
to his Lombard and Venetian subjects, and also
to deserters from the Austrian army.
The Austrian government, in return for the
services rendered by it to the Pope and the
Dukes of Parma and Modena, has required that
the navigation of the Pc shall be free The 60
vernments of Parma and Modena have consented
TO the demand of the Austrian government, and
it is not doubted but that the Pope will withdraw
his opposition.

UrThe Hunkers of this state are really TO be
pitied. A great share of them have no other fee
ling in their hearts than that of malignant ha-
tired of every thing like Free Soilis, and yet, at
Madison they were compelled to walk up TO the
rack, and take down the whole of the free soil
creed precisely as we prepared it for them. ol
course they did not do this without squirming
and wry faces, and as a sort of salvo to Their
wounded sensibilities, got up the last resolution
about dividing and defeating the democracy, and
federalism, and all that kind of thing. We can
stand this exhibition of spleen very well, when
we consider that they have been compelled to en-
dorse every position we took last fall, and upon
which the division which defeated hunkerisn
was occasioned. As they seem to be very APP
prehensive as to the influence of federalism in
dividing and conquering, we can tell them how
it can be very easily prevented. Let them stich
to Democracy instead of abandoning it as they
did last fall, and the party will not be divided
