Total increase In 10 years. ................ 9l2%
This increase exceeds 33I per cent, and If we
estimate the same ratio of increase for the last
ten years, the census now in progress will show
the present population Of the city to be 4o3,6l3
but as the ratio Of increase has been considerably
greater than this, in consequence Of the larse
amount Of emigration, we may put down the PoPu-
lation Of the city, at least, at 800, Of when
majority will be found in the upper wards, nors

gers by the Paramount. Gen Paez has come to seek,
shores the liAsrty he vany sought and suf-
fertd for in his own country His trials and heroic
endurance have made him many friends in America,

This morning General Paez was waited upon by a
large number Of citizens including many foreign
ers principally Spanish and French. good many
ladies also among the vsiters. Gen. Pace pro-
ceeds from this city New York and the time Of his
departure depends somewhat upon the rangements
making in that city to give him public reception

We have, with regret seen in some OF the northern
papers reflections cast upon the course OF this dstn
gushed gentleman with respect TO the pending sectional
controversy, accusing him Of pursuing secretly course
calculated to prevent the passage Of the compromise
It is alleged tina, he has written letter urging the South
to insist upon the Missouri compromise as the sine qua
non OF settlement We have believe that there
is no foundation whatever in the story II swell known,
however. that Mr. Buchanan has expressed himself in
favor Of the adoption OF the Missouri compromise line as
the shortest and simplest mode Of adjusting the pending
sectional conroversythat line having once been adopt
ed in similar controversy between the North and the
South But this is no new or disguised opinion Of Mr.
Buchanan on the contrary, have known that, from
the time the Territories acquired that distinguish
ed gentleman avowed himself in favor OF that
line, and made no secret OF H. We have understood
him to be always In favor OF IT, because had been once
sanctioned by Congress- and would be more likely to put
end to the controversy than any other mode OF settle
ment But we have also understood that he was in ia
Of any principle OF settlement which would be acqu-
esced in by both sections Of the Unon and restore peace
and harmony 10 the troubled elements Our knowledge
of Mr. Buchanans character convnces US that he could be
guilty OF no secret or double dealing course in reference to
this important matter. His opinions have never been
disguised and have abundant reason 10 believe that
while he has ever believed the adoption OF the Missouri
compromise the best method Of settling the controversy,
he has been in favor Of it's adjustment on any other hon.
orsble and satisfactory grounds We have no doubt that
he Is in favor Of trying the compromise proposed by the
Committee OF Thirteen and IL he were in the Senate,
would vote for it, We have deemed this statement due
to that eminent and patriotic statesman.
