PRICE OF NIGGERs AND ALDERNEN.-The
discovery of gold in California has had a won
derful influence on the prices of various COM
modities We need not enumerate all the arti-
cles of commerce affected by the influx of this
precious metal from the shores of the Pacific.
We will mention two which seem to have risen
to higher figure than the rest. These are Mig
gers and Aldermen. Ten years ago good, fat
healthy niggers could be purchased at from
5000 to $500, and 5000 was considered an ex-
tremely high price. Now they will bring from
81, 200 to $500.
1t is the same with Aldermen. Ten years aco
an Alderman could be easily bought for s1OO,
and was regarded scar even at that. We 70.
collect the case Of one who brought that figure,
but was considered scarcely worth the money.
Aldermen have now risen to twenty, and even
q hundred times that price. Alderman Brady,
who Is great authority on the subject, and
seems to know all about the prices Of his con-
freres, states that he knew of one Alderman
being offered $4,000 for his vote and that he
could not be bought even for that. We are
not left to infer that the Alderman could

Mr.. Seward has made the speech of politi-
clan, net of . statesman. Clamorously called
upon by the wireworkers among his followers
to pronounce an Grafton which should call
back to the ranks of the black republican party
the flying hosts Of conservatives, and at the
same time hold fast to their allegiance the abo-
lition fanatics, he has made the effort, and has
failed. Better would it have been for his own
reputation had he chung to his original deter
mination and remained silent.
In the eAdeavor to blend antagonisms and to
satisfy the Opposing and enduring forces''
within his own party, he talks Of the John
Brown gang as " band of exeeptionable men"
who, "inspired by an enthusiasm peculiar to
themselves" committed can act Of sedition
and treason" and, becoming the innocent
victims of frensy kindled without their
agency" were in their deaths "pitisble." He
does not refer, either for approval or condem-
nation, to Helpers handbook of revolution, or
its sixtyeight Congressional black repub-
ican endorsers; but he acknowledges
that the whole aim Of that party is to
oppose slavery and polygamy," and he gives
us new version Of Helpers motto of the
party, "The abolition Of slavery and the per-
petuation OF the Union by force, by trans
posing it into one Of the old Revolutionary
sayings, used when liberty" carried a very
different meaning from what it now does in
the mouth Of an bolitionist-"Union and Ii
berry, come what may &c. But there is
gaver matter than these dexterous wordmon.

rors, wilful or involuntary, in the citations Of

refuted Immediately on the floor of the Senate,

CLOSE OF TIE OPERA SEASON The season OF the Itaan
Opera at the Academy Of Music will close with the
MATINEE tomorrow, when Martha,' and selections
from other operas, will be sung by all the artists On
this evng the last regular performance of the

degree Of delcacy and finish IN execution
which, few artists Of the present day possess

and in the first rank Of it, in this country This is
none the less the fact because the managers have some
times attempted to ignore and to put forward second or

experiences Of the earlier part Of the season would have
been suf cnt TO show the absurdity of attempting 10

The season which closes this week has been an cx
ceednsy prosperous and probable one For the last
few nights the Academy has been continuously crowded

FERNANDO WooD AND Hrs DELEGATION IN THE
SouTH.-We perceive by the tone of the South
ern press-some extracts from which we give
in another column that the Southern demo-
cracy accept Mr.. Woods delegation to the
Charleston Convention as the proper represen-
tatives of the national democracy of this State,
and ignore the Cagger-Cassidy delegates alto.

ton of the Albany Regency, even upon equal
terms with that headed by Fernando Wood, it is
commended, would constitute an unwarrantable
concession to free soil proclivites and confirm
the sway of black republicanism in the Empire
State. If the Southern delegates to Charleston
are of this mind, it is probable that the Wood
delegation will be received with eclat in the
Convention.

not be had at ANY price, but on the
contrary that every man of them has his price,
as Walpole once said of members of the British
Parliament: that is, a certain price will pur-
chase one, and another price will purchase
another, according to quality. We are left
therefore, to suppose that the reason why the
Alderman in question was not bought was that
enough of money was not offered for him; that
in fact, the bidder did not come up to his price.
We presume $4,000 is the lowest, and that the
prices range from that up as high as $4,000,
according to the nature of the animal Those
who speak very bad grammar can only bring
a low price, those who speak tolerably good
English will command better terms, while
those in charge of the grogshops, and all con-
tracts relating to the streets, ferries and DOCKS
will fetch very high figure.
The value of real estate has risen, and so
has risen the value of the Alderman's vote.
Formerly his vote could confer but a small
amount of benefit on the recipient. Then the
jobs given by the Common Council were small
affairs Now they are gigantic in their nature.
Then the taxes were low; now they are high,
while the value received by the community il
in the inverse ratio of the increased millions
they pay. The advance in the prices of Alder
men is the cause of high taxes and dirty streets

PRENTICE's OPINION OF BREoKINRIDcE.
Mr.. Prentice wrote the following about Breck.
inridge, when be was member of Congress:
We ascribe nothing of corruption of dis
honor to Breckenridge himself We believe
him to be conscientious and honorable, as
we'll as a most able man. We have been
half afraid, during the canvass, to express
fully our opinion of him, lest our Whig
friends in his district and elsewhere might
deem it untrue to The interest Of our party
Paragraphs written by us some months age
in relation to Mr.. Breckenridge have been
kept at the heads Of his newspaper organs
throughout the conflict, and we can, and do
emphatacally reassert every word of these
paragraphs. Mr.. Breckenridge is pure and
noble. hearted man, and liberal'minded
politician he has earned and won at home
and at Washington as high a reputation fol
talents as belongs to any man of his age in
the United States. We do not know of any
gentleman we would rather see in Congress
and, if he lived in Locofoco district, Linn
Boyds, for instance, we should sincerely
rejoice in his election.
The Hon. John G. Breckenridge, in let
ter to his constituents, declines a re-election
to Congress. He will be much missed il
that body. His great urbanity, his perfec
fairness, and his powerful talents, made hin
one of the very foremost of its master-spir
I its. He has national reputation, and nobl.
has he won it.

After the President had concluded his
address, the Hon Howell Cobb, being loudly
called for appeared On the balcony and
said:
FELLOW CITIZENS 1t is entirely too late
to make a speech, although I respond to

clusion. am here to unite my voice with

Gen. lane having been accused of voting,
when a member of the Indiana Legislature,
for tho Wilmot Proviso uuder instruction,
the Washington Constitution says: eve are
authorized by Gen. Lane to say that this
statement is utterly false. The question was
never discussed in the Legislature of Indiana
while Gen. Lane was member. 1t might
have been before the Legislature while he
was fighting the battles of his country in
Mexico, but not while he was in that body.
Gen. Lane left fer Mexico in May, 1S46,
and the question of the Wilmot Proviso
was not introduced into Congress till the
18th of August, 1S46. and as is well known,
Gen. Lane never entered the Legislature of
