Reception of the New York Truce.

Deeply anxious that the patriotic effort Of
the Wings of New York may result in
the restoration of harmony, but convinced that
no reunion of the Wings can be expected un-
less the Syracuse Convention shall adopt reso-
Iutions which do not disturb che Compromise,
and that any agitation for the repeal of any one
of its provisions will be attended with imm-
nent evils, and will certainly restore at once all
the hostile relations which it will be the pur
pose of the convention to harmonize, we have
deemed that the most efficient service could be
rendered by noting the manner in which the
press and the Wings of the Union shall receive
the proposals for calling the convention.
The terms in which this effort at adjustment
has been announced has been generally re-
ceived with approbation--all being anxious
that any effort to terminate a strife so ruinous
in its consequences should have every advan
tage of forbearance during the tendency of the
various propositions.
| The Baltimore american condemns the terms
employed in the call, as does also the Peters
| burg hlteuigencer, both true friends of the
Compromise. The jealousy with which the
| TeSeIF6u IlBHt VI. dSitdtloh 10 icSoAuSu "
those upon whose appreciation the success
of any project for uniting " the Wings of
the Union" must depend, will, we trust,
influence the convention to abstain from any
declarations which may be construed into
determination to disturb the Compromise.
The only basis of peace amongst the Wings
of the Union must be support of or ''acquies-
cence" in the Compromise.
The only chance Of obtaining the sanction of
the Administration, the cordial union of the
Wings of New York, and the cooperation ofthe
Wings of the South, depends upon preserving
the principle of intervention, in regard to
the measures of Federal agreement known as
the Compromise, and the maintenance of that
Compromise upon the basis of agreement or ac-
quiescence. We shall accordingly publish from
time to time the opinions of the Whg party
upon the proposed New York Convention.
We shall look with the deepest anxiety
to the result of its deliberations, confident
that, upon the character of the resolutions
which they shall publish as the platform of the
Whig party, will depend the most momentous
consequences.

baton for them. But the Wing Administra-
ton is denounced by the Democrats of Yer
mont for its fidelity to slavery" and by the
Union as having been false to the Compromise
which protects it.
We trust that in justice to the Administra-
ton, as in justice TO the history of the period,
the Union will let il be known that the Ad-
minstration of Mr.. FILLMORE has been de-
nounced by the Democrats of Vermont for its
Fidelity to slavery" and that the Democrats of
Vermont have pledged themselves to agitate
the issue of repeating the Fugitive Slave law
in every political gathering and at the polls.

curiosities of the Alabama Election.

Day before yesterday we received a tele-
graphic despatch from Montgomery, Alabama,
dated the 9th instant, stating that BENJAMIN
q. SHIELDS had been elected Governor over
HENRY w. COLLIER, which we laid aside as
unreliable; for, inasmuch as Mr. SHIELDS had
positively declined being considered as can
didate, and was not in the State at the time of
the election, we had strong misgivings as to
the possibility of his success. But we observe
in the official report Of the Mobile district a
singular coincidence, viz: that though the
votes given respectively for BRAGG and LANG
DON and for COLLIER and SHIELDS vary at the
different precincts, they foot up the same total;
that is to say: COLLIER has $50 votes, and
BRAGG has ,656; SHIELDS has ,206, and
LANGDoN has ,206. If, therefore, Mr..
SHIELDS has received the same relative sup
port to that given for the members of Congress
which he did in the Mobile district, the proba-
bilities are that he is indeed elected. But OF
this we still have strong doubts.

premium OFFERED FOR THE BEST TRAcT ON Emf
GRAFTON TO LrBERIA.--A colored man, who was
for many years wrongfully held q slave in Cuba,
and afterwards liberated through the intervention
of Mr.. Buchanan, while Secretary of State, and
General Campbell, our consul at Havana, and paid
the wages of his service during his captivity, has
placed $50 in the hands of gentleman of New
York to be disposed of for the benefit of the coored
people
He proposes to apply one hundred dollars of the
money as prize for the best tract which shall
be offered composed with view to counteract the
preudces entertained by the colored people against
Liberia, and to persuade them to emigrate to thai
country.
At the request of the writer, the editors of the
New York Evening Post have consented to receive
any manuscripts which may be prepared with q
design of obtaining the compensation in question
and to hand them over to him for his decision.

TONNAGE OF AMERICAN VESSELS FOR 1851.


Thus it will be seen that the tonnage employed
in the direct foreign trade between Europe and
the waters of James river for the year ending lst
July, 1851, amounted to nearly 0,000 tons-an
amount abundantly sufficient to give active and
lucrative employment to two steamers OF fifteen
hundred tons burden each But this is not all
Owing to the want of line of vessels to James
river, the larger portion of the importers of this
city forced to order their goods to be shipped
from Europe to New York, whence they are trans
shipped to Richmond. The agricultural products
OF the State, too, suffer heavy costs and charges
for the want of direct line of communication
with Europe. Tobacco, wheat, corn, flour, &c.,
destined for foreign markets, not unfrequently
find their way to the northern ports for shipment
to Europe.
So confident of the entire practicability of the
plan of establishing steam line of communica-
ton between the waters of James river and the
continent of Europe, is distinguished captain,
now in the merchant service of sister State, (al-
though Vrginian by birth,) that we are autho-
rzed to say he holds himself not only ready to in
vest $4,000 in the first steamer, but to superntend
her construction and take command of her when
completed. Surely this fact is deserving of weight
in the estimation of the mercantile community
and the good and patriotic example thus set ought
to stimulate our merchants to make an effort at
least to throw off the vassalage they now endure.

HoN. L. f. MARSHALL ABANDONING THE DE-
MocRAcY.-We learn that Hon. Il. F. Marshall,
who is elected to the House of Representatives
from Woodford county, made speech on the night
of his election, in which he gave notice that he dis
solved all connexion with the Democratic party,
and from thenceforth resumed his old position
Wing. The circumstances of the avowal as they
have been related to us, characteristic and
amusing. Mr.. Marshall has been acting for some
years with the Democrats. In this race, however,
he ran as an independent candidate, and was sup
ported by many Wings; but doubtless he owes his
election mainly TO Democratic votes. After the
result was known on Monday night, Mr.. Barnes,
his competitor, made short speech, in which he
said that he considered it disgrace to be defeat
ed by of Mr.. Marshas splendid abilities
After Mr. b. concluded, Mr.. Marshall spoke, and
paid some beautiful and eloquent complimen Ia to
MIR. Barnes. He then said he wished to make out
an account current with the Democratic party.
He acknowledged that he owed his election TO
them, and he set himself down as debtor for that.
But he had supported Mr.. Polk, and otherwise
done the party some service; for that he claimed a
credit, and called upon the Democrats present to
say which side the balance stood Some of
them cried out, "Oh we're indebted to you"
"Weh," said Marshall. 'I forgive you the balance,
square the account, close the books, and from
henceforth am Whig forever"
We congratulate the Wings upon the return OF
so gifted con to his old political faith.

Orleans soiIl pay one from Richmond would yield
handsome profit But there are other reasons fA-
voring the establishment of line of steamers TO
Europe. Virginia is the most central portion Of
the United States, and presents superior induce
ments for the arrival Of emigrants at all seasons
Of the year. In the winter the emigrant will not
incur the hazard Of being det1ined in our waters
by ice nor will he in the risk of losing
his life by those malignant ievers which scOurge
some portions of the southern Atlantic coast
The vast emigration from Europe TO this coun-
try alone would warrant the establishment ofa line
of steamers throwing out of the estimate the heavy
direct trade which already exists, as well as that
which must inevitably follow upon the completion
of 'the various and important lnes of improve
uent which are fast converging upon US"
There is not now single steamship running to
Europe from any port in the United States south of
Philadelphia. New York, Boston, and Phladel-
phia are rcaping the whole advantage resulting
from the establishment of steam lines to Europe;
and to show the solid results flowing from this new
source of wealth, we need only point to the rapid
strides each ofhese cities has made during the past
ten years in population and wealth. The people
of Charleston, however, under the impulse of oom-
mercial and political independence, have recently
contracted for the construction OF two steamships
to convey the products of that State to Europe.
The direct freight to Europe, from the waters of
James river, would, we are prepared to show, give
active employment now to two steamers of fifteen
hundred tons burden; and the laws governing
trade abundantly prove that increased facilities al
ways meet with corresponding increase of trade.
By establishing line of steamers TO Europe, new
impetus would be given to business in this city and
State, whilst the commercial world would be
speedily convinced of the vast superiority of the
waters and climate of Virginia a osstsrn tsymi-
to the trade of Europe.
The people of Virginia not, we believe, inter
ested even TO the value of dollar, in any vessel
trading between Europe and the waters of James
river. Northern and European ship-owners reap
| the whole profits resulting from the foreign trade
of the late, and will continue to do 3d. unless the
merchants of Richmond, Petersburg, and Norfolk,
shall unite in getting up g home line"
During the year ending July |, 1851, the foreign
trade of James river gave employment to num-
Der of foreign and American vessels. The aggre
gate tonnage, it will be perceived from the state
ments below, furnished from the custom house in
this city, amounted to 20, ,72l tons.

irish EMIGnATIoN.--A late number of the Lime

report of the state of the crops in that county and
in the same number of the paper which thus heralds
the advent of abundance, it is announced that the
people are flying the country though another
famine were looming in the perspective:
"Turn where you will, nothing ia talked of but
the United States, American letters checks, steam.
boat and ship fares, and pre- paraons for departure
to another and a favored land. AS for the
penal laws and such other matters, the discus
son of these is confined to the comparatively
small section of the people who are yet calculat-
ing their ability to maintain their position at
home. But as regards the great mass of our
countrymen = the working population = their
minds entirely engrossed with the idea,
and that is, the speediest manner in which they
they can contrive to remove themselves and
families from that inevitable ruin that appears to
be impending over this hapless land Nothing can,
stop or stay this migrating propensity; no reason
ing persuasion, however cogent or pau5ibe,
can for moment change their determination to
join their friends in the far West There is scarcely
family among the humble class of farmers and
cottagers that has not one more representatives
in America, and these are constantly sending home
remittances to enable the rest of the family to emf
CRATE. The people are flying away in large num-
bers and on the roads in remote districts you will
often meet long and melancholy cavalcades of
these poor people turning their backs on the land
of their birth, In fact, the poor who has
friend to send him remittance, and means
of paying his passage over, is looked upon as n
doomed man. Country chapels on Sundays are
thinly attended, owing to the death and desertion
of the people. Where will all this end?'

The Newburyport Herald thinks that solicitude
for the fate of the bold searchers Of Franklin is
more appropriate at the present time as all hope
of Franklin being found alive must be vain, 1t
says:
"Six or eight vessels have wintered in some Of
the bays or inlets which empty into Bafin's bay,
beyond the point where the whaleships ever ven
ture, and it will be well if other expeditions not
required to recover come of them. The American

safety of their crews. We know nothing earth
