The City Of New York.

New York City is growing beyond all
precedent, and every time we get look at
It's borders we are amazed at the measure of
its growth. The city has not only grown in
and of itself, but its expansive life gives Vi
tality to cities and towns far beyond its linn
its. Villages which but yesterday were
forms and market gardens, spring into be-
ing, the sources Of whose life is in the bust
ness of the Island Of Manhattan, and yet
the city increases with wonderful rapidity.
The ships, the dwelling houses, the ware
houses, the stores, the fancy shops, the man
ufactories, are all multiplying day by day.
The city is enlarged at all points. The
piers are creeping further into the rivers,
and if no law prevented further encroach-
ments, the North and East rivers would be
bridged all over except for very narrow
channel and we must be permitted to say
there has been too much of this already for
a proper regard to the commerce of the city.
Some Of these piers are longer, than several
of our squares, and they have, we hear,
changed the channel very materially by dri-
wing the deeper water over to the Jersey
shore.
These piers are the busiest places in New
York, and no one, without seeing for him
self, can imagine the amount Of business
done upon them. The trade of New York,
outland and inland, foreign and domestic, is
often visible upon them, and the inland trade
makes a bulk and business surprising &c
/ the beholder Another novel feature Of the
city is the underground building which il
going on round about us. In some parts O

The wings of Tennessee.

A highly intelligent gentleman, who has thor
ouChly traycrsed this State on business Of diff
ferent character, but who has had time and incli-
nation 10 examine the political indications, in
forms rs that he regards as perfect folly the
boastful declarations of the Locos with respect
to Tennessee. He says that, although he well
knows the character of the Tennesseans, and re-
members their refusal to be led over to Van Buren,
even by jackson himself, his fears were excited
by the demonstrations in Congress during the
present summer. But his journey has banished
these misgiviugs: he found, in almost every
county, the Wings true to their duty, WiM not a
1s1c Of their Old enemies prepared to help them. That
Scott and Graham were not their first choice, ap-
pears to be forgotten; for none on earth are now
preferred before them. In Williamson county,
the home Of the talented and eloquent Gentry,
he sought for disaHected Wings who would not
support the nominees OF party; but, he states,
II here ucre any Such there, he could not find Them
nor could he meet wih dng one, Wig or Loco aoho
could tell him Of such persons! What our major
ity may be, he does not undertake to say, but he
ventures the prediction that it will not be less
than was given to Taylor in As.

Where is the Negroes Home.

We learn that the agent of the Virginia Colo
nization Society reports one hundred and seventy
three freeborn persons of color and eighty slaves
emancipated in 1850 and 1851, as preparing to
emigrate in the November expedition from Nor
folk. May they have safe, a prosperous, and
a happy home in the infant republic of that
cline In the midst of so much quarrelling on
the subject of slavery, we might naturally look
for many friends of the negro; but where are
they? On abstract questions relating to him
the disputants are many; but in practical works
of benevolence his friends are few. The Coloni-
cation Society aims at much, and could do much

The steamer Daniel Webster arrived at New
Orleans, from San Juan, on Saturday last with
eleven days later advices from San Francisco, and
Panama dates of the 29th. The cholera had
caused great mortality among the troops and pas
sengers on board the Golden Gate, and they were
taken to San Francisco on the steamer Columbia.
The troops numbered seven hundred. The North
erner sailed for New York on the 29th, with two
hundred and fifty passengers.
The Daniel Webster brings dates from San
Francisco to the 18th Of August, being the quick

We see it stated that suspicious of fraud hav-
ing been excited by various circumstances con-
nected with the late election in st. Louis an in
vestigation was made into the subject, when it
was found that four hundred and eleven foreign
ers, not yet naturaized, had voted. Besides this,
there were between one and two hundred who
voted twice, and number of voters exercised
that privilege six or more times. For these and
similar reasons the election of Mr.. Brown, Dem
ocratic candidate for the sherialty, will be dis
puted at the next term of the circuit court Such
practices have, it now appears from the partial
investigation made few days since, been going
on for Years.

Very few Of the Democratic newspapers we re-
ceiye have failed to reiterare certain charges
against the lyuth the honesty, and the courage OF
Gen Winfield Scott We have never retaliated
these assaults, as unfounded in truth as they are
disCraceful to their authors and publishers. Nor
do we intend doing 50. But the following article
has been exhibited to Us with request to trans
fer ii TO our columns We do so with the decla-
ration that if it is untrue we win freely and read
lily give publicity TO the proofs in refutation of
it and not only this, bat we will give all possible

nation the authors Of so wicked and malignant
an accusation.
We quote from Che cold Defender" of Satur-
day last, a journal published by Messrs Mills,
Troxell & Co., Of Baltimore:
aMr EDITOR: Having heard it reported in
Baltimore that q personal indignity of the gross
est character was inflicted upon Gen. Franklin
Pierce over a game Of cards, in the city of Mex
ieo after its capture by our troops, which insult
was never resented, / write this to inquire whe-
Their you have any information upon the subject,
and if So, to ask the favor Of you to explain the
nature Of the indignity and the authority from
which the report has originated. J. K. b.

favor of free-soil, and in Kentucky against that
doctrine. There is no doubt of the holder and
stronger grounds being assumed by the party in
its local, fragmentary capacity. The opposition
avowed by the National Convention to "gene-

Irishmsn.

Our course has always been to regard citizsp
as citizen, and to draw no lines of distinction
between those who are entitled to citizenship.
Our opponents, however, profess to be the pecu-
liar friends of Irishmen, and we are not disposed
that they shall succeed in practising the IMPOSE
tion "The English Free Trade Press, f" remarks
contemporary, fare anxious that Gen. Pierce
should succeed. They reckon confidently that he
will obtain the Irish cote. They have their eyes
open to the great English pocket. They are
pleased that famine bids fair to remove the Irish
nation from Ireland. Scotch and English farmers
are expected to 60 into that island settle there,
raise more produce, pay more rent, and consume
more British cotton and woollen goods than the
Irish can Thus home markets will improve,
and American produce become less necessary.
The Irish emigrants will 60 to America, hire out
for seyenty-five cents to one dollar day. and
thus having means, will obtain more manufac-
tured goods and other comforts. They are
unable to see that American manufactures must
be sustained; but will support free trade and the
Democracy, if cloths will be a cent cheaper for
it. So one Irishman in America will be worth
more to England than dozen in Ireland; Ire
land will be rid of her present race, and open
for British settlers. John Bull has two strings
to his bow, and the Irish are relied on to help
him to carry out his schemes. The election of
Gen. Pierce is the next important step in the fur
therance of British schemes"

that the nomination of Scott and Graham will

lie printer, announces the thorough reunion of the
Democratic party. 1t does not condescend to
inform US how the grave questions of principle,
which divided the two wings of the party, have
been settled. Is secession allowable or not? That
we understood was the point of difference among

receiving two or three hundred thousand dollars
a year from the treasury settle that question
Does it signify that the Jackson doctrne-of
which the Union is supposed to be the exponent
is the established and recognised creed of the
party; that secession is treason! and that the
fre-eaters will have to put up with very slim
pickings Well one thing can be said for the
arrangement-if no people in the world have
higher notions than the fre.eaters, none are
