The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1850-06-21

The report Of the Committee of Seven, upon q
constitution and bye-aws, was read by Mr.. Geyser.
The principal article in the proposed constitution
was, that there should be Industrial Council, to
be annually elected.
minority report was read by Mr.. Day, in which
il was proposed to call the governing body an In
dustrisl Congress, to which every body of trades,
industrial association shall send three delegates
II was then moved that both reports be referred
to the Committee of the Whole.
Mr. WEST proposed that both reports be pub
lished, and that the consideration of them be de-
ferIed till the next night of meeting.
The question was then taken upon referring the
reports to the Committee of the Whole, which was
carried
Mr.. DowNEY, in his peculiar phraseology. then
moved that the delegates should first advance to
the rear, and then come back to the 'front.' in order
to distinguish them from persons who had no right
to vote.
motion was then made to lay that resolution
on the table.
Several members said that Mr.. Downey's course
was a very unnecessary one.
Mr.. DowNEy-H would be unnecessary if all
those around him had common honesty, but they
had not Qaughter)
Mr.. DEAN thought it would be absurd, for they
should pursue the same course every night.
The question was then taken, and while dele
gates Were voting, DR. Jonassohn, reporter for the
Tribune and Schnen Post rose, when a member
ordered him "sit down, sir, you have no right to
VOTE
Mr.. JoNAssoHN--I have right.
The molion of Mr.. Downey was ordered to lie
on the table by considerable majority
Mr.. DowNEY, fixing his eyes upon gentleman
sitting the left of the chair, sad-I see gentle
man there who is not delegate.
There were here loud and impatient calls to
ORDER" and the chairman decided Mr.. Downey
out of order
The majority preamble and minority preamble
were then read and the house went into Com
mitiee on the Whole, Mr.. Gregory in the chair
Mr. DEAN moved that the minority report be
adopted. The motion having been seconded, was
put and lost.
The vote was reconsdered, and both preambles
were referred back TO the committee.
Mr.. MORRISON, of the Committee on Credentials,
then read credentials of delegates from eleven
trades, who were received, and among them Mr.
Ouerson, reporter of the Tribune, from the Typo
graphical Society.
The SECRETARY then said, he did not see the
necessity of putting each case to the vote, and
moved that delegate, on merely producing his
credentials, should be received.
The motion was adopted
Mr. DowNEy-l dissent from that decision! Mr..
Downey then moved, that no delegate should be
allowed to vote, unless he paid his dues. Motion
overrulrd.
The SECRETARY then wanted to know whether
he would advertise as usual in the Herald Sum- and
Tribune as he had done upon his own responsibility.
Mr.. DowNEY-I think the Star is a very imper-
tant paper, and i move that the advertisement be
inserted in that journal,
DrIEGATE-I move that the Globe be also Sc
lected. IL is also good paper, and there will be
end 10 the good papers.
Mr.. DowNEY-We are advertising with some
journals that are hbelling us daily.
Mr. PEcK-The allusion believe is to the
Herald.
DErIaATE-Thefe was no paper mentioned.
Mr.. DowNEY-I did allude to the Herald, which
ridicules our proceedings.
Mr. PEcK-The Herald reports our proceedings,
while other papers do rot report us at all; and I
would prefer that the Herald report us, though il
should ridcule us, rather than to be silent
DEIEGATE-The Herald may have made refer
ence 10 individuals, but it has said nothing of
principles IL could not for as yet we have none.
So far from assalDg us body, the editor of the
Herald said he confided in our wisdom, and thus
paid US a compliment.
Mr.. WmDE-I should like to give the gentleman
a whole night 10 blackguard the Herald, but il is
too late tonight. Uaughter) l wish to see all
the papers treated alike.
Ultimately a discretion was vested in the Sc
cretary, to insert the advertisements in what
papers he pleased, and the convention ad journed
to Wednesday next.
NEW STEAMSHIP ROUTE BETWEEN THE OLD
World AND THE NEw-ARRVAL or THE VIcKRoY.
The steamship viceroy, Captain Ewing, arrived
at this port Saturday last, from Galway, on the
west coast of Ireland, which place she left on the
LIST instant, stopping at Halifax, Nova Scotia, on
her way. Although the Viceroy did not make the
run in so short time as was expected, she has
clearly demonstrated the practicabilty of shorten
ing the time between New York and Liverpool, or
New York and London, to a considerable degree.
The Viceroy having left Galway three days after
The American steamship Atlantic left Liverpool,
experienced, the latter did, succession Of head
winds, which retarded her progress very much
But for this, she would have reached New York
Two or three days sooner.
The propriety of establishing line of American
between New York and Galway, is a
subject which we think ought to engage the atien-
lion Of our enterPrising capitalists and steamship
men. When the line Of railroad between Galway
and Mulhogar is completed, the run from Galway
10 London can be made in seventeen or eighteen
hour, by the Chester and Holyhead railway. II
is computed that q good steamship could reach
Galway from New York in seven days, thus re-
drc,ng me Tune between e;yn New YORK and London
We throw out these hints, as worthy Of being
pondered upon by the public, and especially
by our enterPrisng capitalists. The time has
come when the quickest lines of communication
between the two countries, will secure the most
Of the travelling patronage.
The TARIFF AND THE SoUru-The Pennsylva-
nians and few of the Northern manufacturers, are
urging on a new tariff in Congress, but there is
very poor prospect for them at present. In time,
lnt lnlHftntC VI fdttolics az tue SUM
will be Of service to them in the way of votes, and
they can than agitaie to more advantage We are
doing well under the dd raiorem duties Yet
We are not totally opposed to specific duties
on certain articles. The best system would be
due mixture of dd raiorsm and specific. The iron
masters Of Pennsylvania will come out right in the
end. They are only suffering under certain local
and peculiar causes, which will be swept away by
the tide Of events. The Southern factories will
bring their influence TO bear at no very remote day.
and on the decision Of the South will be the reyi-
sion Of our protective system, consent to let il
remain as 1t is. IL is policy not TO be forced.
