in which it is related POLITICALLY beautiful and simple
"Have you ever heard of the pigeons of St Marks?
They are so much respected by the Ventians that
they so tamey about the square and are fed at the
public expense. The Austrian government is obliged
to pay that much homage to public opinion, as to
feed those little pigeons. This is done once day.
Is it not beautiful? They toll not they spin not
yet our Heavenly Father makes despotism appro-
pirate SO much corn for their support, come what
may. Why should distrust Him? So thought
to-day as l gazed on them. At certain window in
the northwest angle Of the piazza of St. Marks
their daily portion is doled out to them at two clock
Near that hour they began to assemble. When
the iron men struck two the crowd increased

streets, and then when the great bell of st. Marks
pea!ed they fell IN showers on the house. When
fed they betake themselves to various quarters. All

PETROLEUM FROM VIRGINIA.-We yesterday had

York-Specch of Mayor Wood.
SARATOGA, N Y, July 31.-A State Convention
of the Young Democracy was held here to-day.
Nearly all the Assembly districts in the State were
represented
j. A. Page, Esq, acted as temporary chairman.
He made a speech, favoring Mr. Douglas, at some
length.
A committee on permanent organization was then
appointed.
Mayor Wood, on invitation addressed the Con-
vention at considerable length, stating that if he
had been a member of the nominating convention,
he should have voted against Mr.. Douglas. Al
though opposed to his "squatter sovereignty" doc
trines, he should sink his personal feelings, and
stand up for the laws and the constitution. The
only way to prevent the triumph of the Republi-
cans, was for every Union to rally to the sup
port of Douglas. He favored the Union of all ele-
ments on Douglas.
After the address of Mr.. Wood, the convention
took recess. On re-assembling, Hon. A. P. Len
ing was chosen President. Gen. Foster, of Mssis-
slppi, delivered an address.

The Result.

Although we have not yet received complete re-
turns Of the elections in this State, we have heard
enough to warrant us in saying that Gov. Ellis has
been reelected, and that the Legislature will be
Democratic That our majorites will be materially
reduced, we can but admit; but still we shall have
not only respectable, but quite large majorites In
1854 Gov. Bragg beat Gen. Dockery 2,OS5; in 1856
he beat Mr.. Gilmer u, 594 The contest between
Gov. Ellis and Mr.. McRae in 1858 was not fair
test of party strength; perhaps that of 1856 was
not correct test, for Know Nothingsm was then
dying ont, and its odium hung upon Mr. Gilmer's
skirts turning from him thousands of votes. The
present contest probably exhibits the strength of
parties more accurately than any that has occurred
since 1850.
