York Herald's Circulation
The organs and stump orators Of die democrat
lied democracy, in view of the resent course of
the New York HERALD on the Presidential
question, are driven to the most desperate tricks
and expedients to darA ege its established and
constantly increasr. g popularity. The most ri
diculous Of these paluy devices is the attempt to
dispar1e the claims Of this journal to the con-
stitutional end conservative masses Of the peo-
pie, by silly hue and cry Of 'abolitionsm,'
''abolition organ" bought up by the abolition
ists," &c. And, as if this were not burden
enough to bear, we are told that, having turned
traitor to the South, we are beginning to suffer
for 1t, inasmuch as our Southern subscribers are
falling off by thousands every day.
In answer to all this ridiculous stuff and rub
bish, we present the following carefully pre-
pared table Of the daily circulation Of the New
York HERALD of Saturday last, in the several
States of the Union, North and South, with the
suggestive remark that our Southern circulation,
50 far from having fallen off, has actually in
creased since we opened fire against the Cincin-
natl spolsmen. Here is the table,

There are now open in the offices Of the principal
California merchants in this city, in the Express
Offices and elsewhere, lists Of subscriptions and
membership to Society, or a Committee, as it
is styled for aiding emigration to the Pacific. The
plan by which this Committee proposes to carry
out its objects, has been published in our columns
among the minutes of the meeting at which it was
adopted.
Emigration Committees are certainly more laud-
able than Vigilance Committees, and We cannot
doubt will prove more useful to the State. The
misfortune of California and Of Oregon as well ap-
pears TO be the want of steady and substantial
population. Both countries are too remote from
the thickly settled regions of the Old World; the
ways by which they reached are inaccessible to
the productive cssses-farmers and laborers with
their families seeking home. This il the whole
secret of the social and political evils of California.

titles, or deficiency of good land for cultivation.
Within the past year land has been sold and thou

At less than Government price-ands that will yield
thirty Swhels of grain per acre. In Oregon also
there is an abundance OF Government land, butthere
as well as in California, settlement is so SS:sckwa'd

bic classes and the absorbing pursuit of GAIN rogues
in California under party names and borrowed princ-
pies have cOnived to fasten ON that State sort Of
political Legitimacy, and it will need more than Wig
lance Committee to break their hold. Thatinstitu.
ton, while it expelled many dangerous characters,
frightened of hundreds Of peaceabe but timd per.

their home but for this social insecurity; and now
while some Of the former are returning to share
the fruits of late victories, there is not compen

thither to balance the number returning. eau
terizrg the morbid feeb ii is found, won't do for
California, severe as is the operation; new blood
must be infused into her veins. 1t is precisely this
object that the Committee Of Emigration propose
to accomplish. To take the place Of iders, adven-
turers and spectators, they wish to send families
who will settle on the soil and give security and
health to the State. The Importance to the future

The fre.eaters were dismsyed to-day BY the newa
published in The Union this morning of the total
routing Of Gen. Walker in Nicaragua. The speech
on Central American affairs, promised by Mr.. Wal
ker Of Alabama for Tuesday next, will be very
different thing from what 1t would have been if de-
livered last Thursdsy, for understand he consid-
cred Gen. Walkers Government firmly established,
and bis speech was based upon that fact.
1t is settled that there will be no election Of
United States Senators from Indiana at the coming
session, despite Mr. Bright's declaration. The
Demo cratic Senate of 1854 refused 10 90 into joint
Convention with the Republican House, aud the
Republican Senate of 1856 will refuse to go into
Joint Convention with the Democrat: House. The
Senate will, therefore, elect two Republican Sen
ators by resolution, and the House can concur if it
plesses. The result will probably be that no Sen
ators will be elected from Indiana for two years
subsequent to the 4th of March.

Our Havana correspondent announces that q
project is on foot for introducing African appren-
tees from the Spanish Island of Fernando Pc, near
the mouth of The Niger. This is only another
name for reopeniDg the slaye-trade. Fernando Pc
has DO inhabitants to draw from; but if the i'm
port alton of negroes under any name is legalzed
it will be an easy matter for SLAYER to touch at
that island and secure clearance for her cargo of
black apprentices. The high prices now ruling in
the Cuban tlave-markets-prices which are almost
equal TO those secured by Virginia breeders-and
which have raised the advance money on coolies to
$3.50 per head, have caused this movement. 1t is
