LATER FROM EUROPE.

The CdmJrid arrived at Halifax, October Sd,
bringing news from Europe one week later.
1t was rumored in England that negotiations
are on foot by which Spain engages to pay her
debts to England, France, and Holland, on con-
dition of having Cuba secured to her by their
joint action.
The frisa Catholic Synod OF Thurles has cVa-
demned, mtOtO the Educational Colleges of Gov

A2<asiele, journals controlled by Catholics, are
loud in their disapprobation of the action of the
Synod.
Public meetings have been held in England, at
which it was proposed to bestow some suitable
testimonial of public favor on the brewers and
draymen who inflicted chastsement on Haynau,
the Austrian butcher.
In France, movements are being made with a
view of revising the Constitution, so as to prolong
the powers of the President. About 700 emigrants,
chiefly from the old Guard Mobile, are about to

THE DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION Oh
NEW YORK.

The New York Ereing Post, in reply to our
State Convention of New York, says;
I'VE think it as much Of triumph as ought
to have been expected from u.s. to have nominated
Martin Van Buren, as our candidate for the Presi-
dency, and by significant and emphatic silence,
to have rebuked the course of Senator Dickinson
A nd yet both these important r.Jults were ac-
complished. committee, composed of majority
of pro-slavery men, refused to report resolution
approving of MIR Dickinson's course and SINH
lar resolution, when afterwards offered in Con-
vention was unanimously rejected, on vote for
the previous question
within fifteen minutes after this meritorious
act, the Convention adopted the following, among
other resolutions reported by the same COM
mittee:n
"'Resolued, THAT THIS CONVENTION DO PRESENT
THE NAME OF MARTIN VAN buren, TO THE PEOPLE
AS THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR THE OFFICE
PRESIDENT OF The UNITED STATES, AND THAT
WE WILL SPARE NO HONORABLE MEANS TO SECURE
HIS ELECTloN'p
"This resolution was adopted without debate,
by vote of 90 to 81, and but for its having been
put TO the Convention in connection with another
resolution congra,uatiDg the country for some
thing that had not taken place. would doubtless
have passed unanimously"
Is not the Post mistaken We certainly did
not observe that the Convention passed any such
resolution 1t is all new to us, and to our neigh
Dor of the Union, too, if we may judge from the
perpexity into which the paragraph from the
Pow has thrown it If our cotemporary be not
mistaken, the passage of such resolution was
certainly redeeming act in the proceedings OF
the Convention. But it is only sly joke of the

THE Seeding WINGS or NEW YORK AND
TIE WASHINGTON REPUBLIC.

In an editorial in another column, we remark
that the action of the seeding Wings of New
York has not received commentator even from
the Administration papers here. The remark
was true, when we wrote the article, but since
that time, the Washington Republic has openly
taken ground in their defence, and from day to
day is treating it's readers with donunciations OF
the great mass of the Wing party, and with a
great amount Of defamation in behalf of the dis
sentients Ii scouts the idea that the Whiu
party ever has been, is, or can be, in any sense,
an ant-slavery party or embraces the anti-slavery
principle in its creed.
We have tried hard to dsbelieve that it was
the special organ of the Administration, but we
see no authoritative denial in any quarter Of its
pretensions TO the confidence Of Mr. Fillmore Ii
may, therefore be as we'll to remind it that the
parsonage whom it now arrays against every form
of auti-slavery doctrine and agitation, stood
pledged in 1896 to the leading measures of the
anti-slsvery reform.
The albany Eumiag Journal brings up the fol.

pounded to Mr., FILLMORE by an "Anti-Slavery
