~ The Albany Jourlal-Wced's paper
pays high tribute to tie nationality and
conservatism, Of the members of the late
American Convention in New York. The
Journal is the strong st Abolition sheet in
the North, and hates Americanism with IL
cordial hatred, because it refuses to lend its
countenance to, or ally Itself with, anti.sIave-
ry. 1t knows that the great bulk OF the
american party in New York has firmly set
its face against agitation, and that it is the
most formidable foe-if not the Only one
with which Abolition aud fana,icsm have to
contend. The South can learn from the fol-
lowing paragraph from that Paper what the
Abolitionsts of New York think of the
Americans of New York. Speaking of the
character of the men who composed the
American Convention, it says:

WILL THERE BE PEAcE--The foreign
journals are Specializing upon the chances OF
patching up pence between Russia and the
Allied powers. The London papers indulge
but little hope Of speedy adjustment, while
some Continental journals express different
opinion. One of The latter, the Journal de
Frankfort, says:
We learn from an authentic source that the

able tina, Russia is the more inclined to peace
because it is an urgent necessity for her II
that empire was forced To continue its i'm
ncnse efforts, her power would be pa!alysrd

But who can doubt that all Europe has
need Of peace! England and France them
selves, however powerful, must admit that
they cannot overcome Russia by the aid Of
their fleets and the 100000 men which they
have in the Crimca, and that the result they
may obtain will not he in proportion to the
sacrifices they must make. We must, there
fore, presume, with regard to the two West
ern powers, also, that they warmly desire the
restoration of peace.
Consequently, we believe we are only px-
prcssinga well grounded hope in asserting
that the coming winter will bring Us fresh
negotiations for peace, which, beyond all
doubt, will lead 10 the desired end, and in
which Prussia will proceed with Austria in

State Fair was conspicuous for its array OF
beauty and chivalry, not less than for its fine
stock, which mas reached point of perfec-

The Mechanics Fair was pre-cmment for
its brilliant display of works Of art. But
having been accustomed to "twiae my
