The SORTS HARDENED AND THE HARps SOFTEN
ED.-The softs are made very hard by the Jour
nal Of Commerce; but it won't do, gentlemen--it
won't DO The effort to turn the nationals and
the conservative Know Nothings into that
"yalley of the shadow of DEATH" ut present oc-
eupied by the administration soft democracy,
will prove an utter failure. The soft Syracuse
resolution against Kansas and the extension OF
slavery into free territory-the old "corner
stoneo of the aboitionsts at Buffalo in 1873
and in favor of the Missouri compromise, can
not be tempered into orthodox nationalism by
voting at a public meeting in this city that
"it was expressly understood as the expression
of an abstract opinion only" John Van
Buren, in the convention took good care to
rebuff this presumption by declaring that the
New York delegation and the people of New
York were practical men, and hated mere alb
stractions. His free soil-anti-Nebraski-Mis
souri, se-Seward-republican platform,
which was adopted by the convention, was
made "corner stone and foundation" Of his
party; an article Of faith, and saving ordi-
nance at that: and the General Committee are
open heretics dissenters, Professionals, outlaws.

effort is to elbow that order of political saints

The BORDER RUFFIANs.-The convention in
Kansas of the 'border rufians," which nomi-
mated Whitfield as the proslavery candidate
for Congress, was composed of all classes and
conditions Of men. The "ruhians" didn't have
it all their own way, for as a well informed
correspondent tells us, "the biggest fools had
as much to say as anybody" This shows that
the negro worshippers, the Emigrant Aids and
the republicans were there, and were per-
mitted to speak, and did speak as much as any
body.

Many have gone there to avoid the payment
of personal taxes upon their property, which
they succeed in getting rid of by the confu-
sion attending their residence jim one place and
their business in another. But it may be said
that all the ferry and other communications
with the city existed five years ago. That is
true; but within that time New York has ex-
tended northward, property has risen down
town, and adjacent city Tots have come into
comparative requisition. This city hasrun OF
so far that our neighbors are brought near.
Another fact may be mentioned in connec-
ton with the census of this year, which is enti-
tied, perhaps to some influence: The work of
the marshals was commenced in June, but did
not end till the close Of July. During the lat
ter month a very large number of our citizens
and families were in the country. Many of
their city establishments were closed. 1t is
highly probable that thirty to fifty thousand
have thus been lost to the aggregate number
returned. This, however, in the face of the
explanations we have given, is Of little CON-
parative consequence. 1t is manifest that an
accurate return Of all the persons whose chief
interest and business is in this city--who re-
ceiye their letters here, do all their correspon-
dence here, who hail from New York and are
New Workers. in every conceivable sense, and
a. all times when not a sleep-would show at
least eight hundred and fifty thousand. We
are now ~ SO extended up town that hereafter
safe and prudent men will give greater weight
to neighboring cities as competitors, and make
less extravagant estimates of the increase of
New York proper Confined and accommodate
ed within narrow limits, we had no rival,
and could have none-extcnded, we bring
other points into use, and this will have great
influence upon real estate in the upper wards,
and of course will continue to secure its APP

butte to the value Of property at the latter
point and to depreciate it at the former.

ABDICATIoN or DEMOCRACY IN MASSACHUSETTS.
The administration Custom House democracy
of Massachusetts have abdicated in favor of the
liquor candidates. Democracy then, in the OLD
Bay State is fairly jagged. II has been of con
venient dimensions for that kind OF use for
many ycars-a retail concern-the suffers and
camp followers of the old jackson and Polk
party-or perhaps better said, on the retired
list, with full pay. We trust now, smiled up
on by Gen. Pierce, permitted to enter the so
ciciy OF the respectable liquor dealers as ser
wants and dependents, sustained by the federal
Offices advised and encouraged by Gen. Cush-

have no longer the cares OF distinct DO
litcal organizatlon-their numbers about
equal to their Offices, their friends scarce. their
intimatcs few, and growing "small by degrees
and beautifully less day by day, they may
be said TO be the very soul OF good luck Their
resolutions are orthodox, their ritual and
creed thoroughly and purely democratic
