We have reason 1, believe that the democratic lea
els here have resolved upon new tack.
Although neither the name Of Gen. Armstrong
of Major Donaldson appears in the list Of letters
in the Hrob. there Is no doubt that both Of them
would be well tstis6ed with Cen. sam Houston, as
tic democratic nominee. But We have reason, also
to believe that neither Of them we're ia the secret
Of Mr.. Donaldson, Mir Greer and company, for the
nomination Of "Old SAM" as a Southern man
with Northern prisciples. Gen. Houston vent from
Tennessee to Texas H was yro,eg6 of General

these letters has dished him, and has disned the
grand scheme OF the Democratic National Execu-
tive Committee, for his nomination and his election
upon Northern capital.
Now II is understood here that the leaders Of the
Iarty in this city, while they were astonished at the
audscity of the plan proposed for Houst,n's cleo
ton, they were indgna ant at having been excluded
from the proceedings of this National Commi.tee.
And what has been the consequence Iney nave
opened a new correspondence on much larger
scale than that of the National Committee, and
they propose q much mere satisfactory system OF
busress In the important matter Of the democra-
tic convention and the de nocratic nominee.
We understand that this new correspondence Ia
directed per emItorily to put the veto upon the Ma
tional Committee, and to turn over the important
business of the democratic convention and ther
| candidate to the democracy Of the two houses of
Congress- as recommended in the letter Of William

The New York Democracy.

The concluding resolve passed at the
great meeting at Albany on Friday night
In favor of the Senators who resigned
rather than permit the passage of the Ca
nal bill, was In these words:
Rcsolued, That out of intended evil
sometimes comes good; and that we find
it source Of congratulation that the on
set which reckless and profligate fac
ton have made upon the constitution in
this scheme of debt, has had the effect of
uniting in one body, and animatins with
one purpose. the Democracy of the State;
and that we rejoice that WE are able to
proclaim that the united Democracy of
New York are one and invisible.
The Argus, which has bee represented
as friendly TO the bill, says: There can
be no doubt that. in relation 10 the canal
bill itself, there are scarcely two opip-
ions among Democrats. That they gem
orally concur in opinion that the bill. in
its general scope and object, is at war
with the spirit and intent of the conSti-
tuition, and that liz its details it bears d
strong partizan impress, there can be but
very little doubt"

Melancholy Spectacle.

Yesterday evening, the train of cars
from Cleveland, brought several convicts
from that city to this penitentiary -
Among the rest were three or four mere
boys who have bean sentenced for years,
in the morning of their days, to the walls
of prison, for heinous crimes against
society. One boy was a little over ten
years of age-two Others were only
little older, and as they ratified their man
acles, and hobbled from the cars TO the
omnibus, they laughed about their awk-
ward fix and looked hardened and indifier-
ent to the terrible punishment await
ing them. The sight was sickenlng.-
Aud yet how many parents are permit
ting their children to run at large al all
hours of the night without any restraint,
thus mbibing habit that, sooner. or la
ter, will bring them to the same end.

A REMARKABLE WOMAN.

Yesterday the widow Wilson, of Ship
pen street, reict of Capt. Andrew Will
son, was consigned 20 the grave in Pine
street church yard. In an address at her
funeral, the Rev. DIR. Brainerd, said she
was eighty six years old, and had wor
shipped in Pine street church before the
war Of the Revolution, and ever since;
that when the British held possession of
Philadelphia, they not only converted
Mrs. Wilson's church into stable. but
expelled herself and family from her
dwelling, south east corner Of George and
South streets, to accommodate British of
ficers; that, once sailing with her hus-
band, Mrs. Wilson was captured on the
high seas and taken prisoner to Janai-
Ca, where her force of will and language
availed 10 protect a good part of her
property.
He might have added that she was in
the receipt Of two pensions from the Gen
eral and the State Governments: that she
kept up IN unbrokcn interest in all po-
litical affairs, and could sketch to the life
prominent politicians; that her strength
OF character, was Unaffected ~ years,
that she carried to life's close, unchang-
ed by contact with new generations, the
pecullarities formed in the early days of
our land and the most stormy period of
our history. She was character at once
SO unique and resolute, that she would
have been treasure TO the genius of Wal
ter Scott; and we could not allow her to
pass from amoug us withou; this tribute

The GERMANs.-The emigration from
the German States and from Sweden and
Denmark within the last few years has
been very great. Our Western cities are
crowded with them. and in many sections
they are found in great numbers in the
country engaged in agricultural pursuits.
In the main they are a most excellent
population. An industrious, sober and
law observing people. with habits Of
economy which in time will ensure for
them or their posterity wealth and IN
fuence. With our wild notions of ex-
travagance and fondness for display which
rivals the gay population OF France,
we need infusion of this staid,
sober and economical German character
We welcome them to our shore.-State
