NEW YORK.

= The New York Democratic State Convention as
sembled at Syracuse on Tuesday last. We have no
intelligence from it though fear, from recent in
dicaons that its sessions have not been harmonious
1t is an admitted fact that all parties in New York
attach undue Importance to the Offices and patronage
of government It is, therefore, difficult for any ad-
ministration to act in such way to please an en-
tire party in that State. President Pierce has dis
charged his duty in this respect honestly, and as we
think, with much propriety and justice; and if any
portion of the Democracy of New York should take
ground against him upon mere question of Office
and patronage, they will find themselves unsustain-
ed by the sympathies of their brethren elsewhere.
We beg leave to add that we regret to see the
question of slavery still agitated to some extent
among the Democrats of that State. This question
was settled, it was hoped by the "compromise
measures, and the Southern people are not disposed
to disturb that settlement What they ask is, quiet
and to be let alone and believe we express their
wish when we say we hope our friends in New York
will also regard the question as seted-let bygones
be bygones, and stand firmly around the national
administration of Gen. Pierce The President has
the confidence of the Southern people, and no appeal
whether covert or open, against him. can have much
if any effect upon them.

gna supporter of the Maine liquor law, thus speaks
of its effect in that State:
cat this moment-and it has been growing worse
every day, since the first three months were over,
when people blinded by rashness-there is
more intemperance and more drinking in this city
and neighborhood, and probably throughout the
whole State of Maine with here and there doubtful
exception than there has been at any other time for
twenty years."
And he says further that the law is San outrage
upon common sense and common deccncy, alike fool
sh and worthless for the great purposes it pretends
to have in view." Mr. Neal has been an active tenn
perance man for thirty years, and is member of a
church in Portland. He says the good citizens Of
Portland put Neal Dow into Office because they did
not know him, and turned him out because they did
know him. NJ H. Patriot.

PRODUCTS OF THE PRECIOUS METALS.

PRODUCTS OF THE PRECIOUS METALS.
We learn from Hunts Merchants Magazine, that
the products of gold and silver throughout the world
for 1852 were as follows America, silver $3l 000,
900, gold $s7, ,OoO Ooo-total $119 900 900; Austria
liza, gold OOO, 900; Europe silver So 900 900, gold
$22, ,OOO OOo-total $50 100000: ASIA silver 5,O0O,
900, gold $14, ,O0O-total S19 100000; Africa,
gold So, 800, 900; making in all for the year $24s-
4OO,O 900. The product of gold and silver for the
year 1sOO was So, 500 s67-for 1s4s $780, 661 900,
and for 1851, $174, 100000 The Boston Atlas, in
an able article on the subject, says:
Cup to 1862, it has been estimated that the gold
from California alone would amount to $153 900 000
The total coined at the United States Mnts in 1852
was $52 24O 900 and though q small portion of this
may have been obtained from North Carolina and
Georgia, and another small portion may have been
recoinage of foreign gold yet is believed that
large quantity of California gold has been used in
manufactures as all the coinage of foreign gold added
to what has been obtained from Carolina and Geor-
gia We will, however, drop the odd numbers, and
set down the amount at $52 100000. The quantity
of gold dust sent from California to Great Britain
and other foreign countries during the same years,
must have amounted to at least $12 ,O0O, ,000-mak-
ing the product of California for 1852 $64 00O 000
Some have estimated it much higher. From present
appearances the quantity from California the present
wear will be increased rather than diminished. We
will set it down at 500 100000. We will also sup
pose that Australia and Siberia will yield $44, 600,
900 more; we shall then have annual production
of $11OOOOOOO of gold, over and above the ordina-
ry product from other parts of the world"

LETTER FROM GEN. DIX.

LETTER FROM GEN. DIX,
Gen. John A. Dix, of New York, has written the
following letter to gentleman in Georgia defining
his position: sr
New York, August 81, 1853.
DEAR SR: have just received your favor of the
26th instant stating that am represented by whig
tionist &c. and thank you for the opportunity you
have afforded me of saying in reply:
1st That am not, and never have been, an abo-
tionist in any of that term On the contrary,
have been an open and uniform opponent of all
abolition movements in this State and elsewhere,
since they commenced in 1885 to the present time.
While in the Senate of the United States opposed
the extension of slavery to free territory question
entirely distinct from interference with slavery where
it already exists In the latter case have steadily
opposed all exerternal interference with it.
I'd. That have on all occasions, public and pri-
vate since the fugitive-slave law passed, declared
myself in favor of carrying in into execution in good
faith, like every other law of the land
Sd. That was in favor of the union of the de-
mocracy of this State which was consummated in
1850, continued in 1851 the basis of the compro
mise measures, and in 1862 on the basis of the Bal
timore platform.
4th That have since the Baltimore Convention
in June 1852, repeatedly given my public assent to
its proceedings and acquiesced in its declarations
an adjustment of disturbing questions by which l
was willing to abide
On these points may write you more fully in a
few days; and in the mean time you at liberty
to this brief reply to your note you may think
proper.
lam, dear sir, very respectfully, yours,
JOHN A. DIX.
