tD The withdrawal of the Boston Tract Society from the National Society at New York is operating as we have anticipated. Strong anti-Slavery men are uniting with the former, while the more con- seryative will send their contributions to New York The venerable John Tappan has retired from the Presidency of the Boston Society have also many of its Vice e-Presidents and Directors, such as R. C. winthrop Bishop Eastburn, Rev. Dr. Stow, &c MT. Winthrops letter of resignation probably ex- presses the views of all who regret the result of the controversy which has sundered the two societies :

 Dear Sir Two or three years ago, without any previous assent or even knowledge my part, I had the honor of being elected of the Vice. Pres idents Of the American Tract Society of this city I had been life member of the Society for several years before, and made address at one of it's an nual meetings expressing the earnest desire which felt land which still feel ill the original charac- ter and object of it's operations. It was then har- monious and united assocation in cordial coopera- ton with the National Society at New York and its publications were such appealed to the Christian mind and heart of every portion of our country.
 An unhappy controversy has since sprung up among its members, which seems to have destroyed its unity at home and to have involved in it seri ous strife with the Association at New York My opinion in regard to the merits of that contrO versy is unimportant. perhaps but it has not been concealed In note to your predecessor, the Rev. Seth Bliss, dated April, 1858. and published with his we'll remembered letters declared my convic- ton that the publication of anti-Slavery Essays " did not rightfully enter into the province of the society, and they would be fatal at once to its unity and its usefulness
 Nothing has occurred to alter this opinion. On the contrary, have been confirmed in the opinion that such publications will only be mischievous at the South they are iLapplicable at the North irritating and inhaming the Southern mind, and reartng those very reforms which they are honest ly intended to promote
 Entertaining such views. am unwilling to leave myself open to misconstruc:ion. I must beg you, therefore, to signify seasonably to the managers of the Society, that respectfully decline election one of their Vice Presidents.
 am, dear sir, with the highest consideration for the officers and managers of the association,
 Very sincerely and faithfully,
 Your obedient servant,

How TO AMERIcANIzE CUBA.-In recent address at Savannah Ga Thomas Butler King made some statements to show that the Amercanization ot Gu
 ba is now going on rapidly in the ordinary inter- course of it's people with the United States. Some of these statements are new and highly slgnlhcant
 He says there are from six to ten thousand young Cubans at school in the United States, and that the number every year increases and also that be, tween fifteen and twenty thousand Cubans visited the United States in 1856. The number of Ameri- cans continually visiting Cuba is still larger This constant intercourse must have an effect upon Gu ba Especially must the education of so many of the young men of Cuba in this country, and these the sons of influential families and the future or ganzers of public opinion in that Island, tend to promote the growth of American sentiments among the people. This is the natural and peaceful pro- cess by which the Cubans preparing to become American citizens, and when the island is fully ri pened by this process it will to naturally, with no necessity for buying it fighting for it.
 When Cuba really desires to join the Union there is no power in Spain to hold her single year. The moral of these facts is that towards Cuba we have only to exercise the grace of patience. It will be ours just its acquisition will be desirable.

ENThe Journal o,

g-The Journol of Commerce pays the following just tribute to the Bank Commissioners of this State:
 Connecticut Banhs.-We have before us copy of the report of the Connecticut Bank Commissioners to the legislature of that State. now in session It makes pamphlet of 2O2 pages, vo., and is in every way, so far tile Commissioners are concern ed, very satisfactory document To be sure, it probes some sore spots but that is what Bank Con- missioners appointed for And we have taken 1t upon ourselves to say, that for the past two or three years, at least, State in the Union has been more ably more faithfully served by it's Bank Commissioners, than has the land of wooden nut megs and horn gun-fints. By ferreting out frauds and exposing rottenness before they had come to a head they have saved to the people oi Connecticut and to the public at large, great deal of money, which would otherwise have been lost. In short, if the present Bank Commissioners should continue in office, rascaties within their jurisdiction would be few and far between. Even if Bank were disposed to abuse its trust. it would know that before it had got fairly started in the downward road, Benjamin Moves would be after it with sharp stick and there is no such thing as lodging him. The other Com missioners, George H. Noble and Thomas Clark, are also efficient men.

DOUGLAS AND FoRNEY.-Here is gossip that is as likely as not and will certainly do till we get some thing better :-
 Some three weeks since, Senator Douglas spent almost an entire night at the house of MT. Forney, in Philadelphia, discussing the course to be taken as to the Charleston Convention-Mr. Douglas ar guing in favor of going into that Convention and submitting to its action while Mr. Forney declared that he would have nothing to do with it, and would fight any one nominated by that Convention even Douglas himself. Mir: Douglas asked what he Forney) would advise him to do; to which Mr. Forney said that if he was in his Douglass place. he would go to Chicago and announce himself as a candidate for the Presidency, in the same manner that town constables in the western towns announce themselves for office, and pay attention whatev- CT to the Convention {; and let a Convention meet and nominate Vice President to run with him, and trust to the result. Douglass opinion all the way through was that it was his best course to go into the Charleston Convention and abide it's re- suits.

A daughter of Osborn has also been arrested.
 MT. Coleman who has thus been injured in his property to the amount of $500 more, is one of the most respectable and enterprising men in that community, and will have tho aid of all good men there to bring the offender to justice. The Os- born was recently acquitted by jury, though not by public sentiment of an infamous crime, in the trial of which Mir. c. had been a witness against him, and acted as friend of the complainant; for which Osborn has made frequent threats of retalia- tion How far these threats will go to convict him, or what additional evidence will come to light, time will determine.

GY The financial condition of the New York and Erie Railroad is such that the Company have decided to pay nothing at present but running expenses. The stock is selling in the market for six cents on the dollar, which is just six cents more than it has been worth for ten years past. Even the third and fourth mortgage bonds on the road are selling at 40 to 60 per cent. discount and will go still lower for the road must eventually fall into the hanks of the first mortgages. From the commencement there has been great mismanagement in the affairs of the Company. The road cost at least forty per cent more than it should, and there has been anything but economy in it's subsequent history. It is of the most valuable enterprises of the ago. and will in time come into the hands of men who will man. age its affairs more satisfactorily.

IS resolution is before the Legislature for a re. duction of the representation in the House to one from a town, but we are assured that there is nc chance of getting for it the requisite vote of two thrls of the General Assembly. Should it be de- fsated, we hope another amendment will be offered to divide the State into election districts in way reduce the present number of the House. If, as in many Western tates, the number were limit ed to 1GO, or less, and apport;onment made once in ten years according to population the business legislation would be speedily, judieiously and economically accomplished.
