The Neythera Know Neihiags.

We are tod at times that the
Northern Know Nothings are 5econ,.
ing national. The convention of the
party al Cincinnati, composed of del
egates from eleven States, adopted
the following resolution by a vote Of
SO to Ii electoral votes:
THAT the repeal Of the Missouri
Compromise was an infrlction of the
plighted faith of the nation, and that
it should be restored; and if efforts to
that end shoa!d fail, Congress should
refuse to admit into the Union any
State tolerlting slavery, which shall
be formed out of any portion of the
territory from which that institution
was excluded by that Compromise
This resolution was adopted as the
voice of the Know Nothings at the
North. The minority were for going
even farther against slavery than this
does. What does this resolution
mean? 1t is for the restoration Of
the Missouri Restriction, the Wilmof
Proviso! It is against the admission
! of Kansas as a slave State, even il
the people desire slavery! This il
the national ground now taken by
this party at the North And We
even see that Southern K. n. paper
rajoice tEat it has done so well! Th'
Wilmot ProviSo and no more slave
States, says the Cincinnati Conven
ton! If this is the best that th'
party can do for the South, its South
ern members may as we'll chang theil
harps upon the willows" for the pee
pie of the South will have none of eli
Their as their rulers.

An Abolition Discovery,

One Parker PilIsbury, writing to
the London Anti-Slavery Standard,
referring to Washington signing tie
first Fugitive Slave Law, says
"NeUcr before was there so deliberate
a conspiracy to crush the rights Of
immortal mani" The New York
Day-Book asks: "Can anything be
imagined more atrocious than this?
The immortal Washington deliber-
ately conspiring to crush the rights
of man, which he had spent eight
years in indicating! The same pre-.
cious traitor then goes on, and 10
speaking Of slavery says:
The system should be regarded
not asan institution butas a crime
a crime committed by somebody.
And the criminals are the people
who do the deed directly and aid
others in doing it. The american
Union so mach glo,!tied was a bold
and daring conspiracy against hber-

a settled determination between the
abolitionists of this country and
England to break up the American

Wesfprn Nlpe1p emf of the British

Western M1uement of the British
Neet.-The Washington correspond
ent of the New York Courier aud En-
quirer gives what he considers nat
ural and obvious explanation of the
movement of the British squadron:
ut is that a secret tripartite ex-
lists between France, England and
Spain, for the defence of Cuba, and
that Spain has insisted upon the dis
patch of his fleet, as proof of the
sincerity of her Allies, and as con-
dition, precedent to her raising an
auxiliary army to aid them in the
Eastern war. If it is the purpose of
the British Government to make a
demonstration in support of their
pretensions in Central America, Sc
rious work may be expected. Our
position is such that we would be OBJ
liged in that case to support the fill
busters on both coasts against these
European invaders. Let but the
word be given by the government,
and thousands of gallant and adven-
turous spirits will rush to the standard
of the latter, to repel the arrogance Of
foreign intervention. One thousand
men are already organized in Califor-
MA to support Walker, and thousands
more in all parts of the country are
eager to join Kinney the moment the
interdict Of our Government, which
stamps his enterprise with illegality, is
removed The Mosquito Protecto-
rate is an obsolete idea, and so is the
notion Of any sort of a European
Protectorate over Greytown and the
great,line of communication between
the two oceans

The United States Ahead.

Some tine ago we published a
brief statement Of the entire ton
mage OF the world, in which it APP
peared that the United States are
travelling close on the heels of Great
Britain. That was an old estimate
and was not up to the times. Hunts
Merchants Magazine has a more &C.
curate account, from which we learn
that this country outstrips John
Bull. We give the table below. 1t
exhibits the amount Of the shipping
of the world in 1854, and shows that
our commerce is at the head of the
nations:

Buyers appear willing to open the
season at 81, but holders ask 6a.-
We notice at Cincinnati that prices
have a downward tendency. Dis
patches received from that point show
less firmness in the market. The av-
erage of hogs this season is much lar
ger than last, and the crop is sup
posed to be fully ample for any de-
nand that may arise. Money mat
,ers will hardly admit of the usual
leavy Transactions, and with the gen.
sral uncertainty regarding the de-
nand, foreign and domestic, our city
hackers have, as yet, done compare
lively nothing.
