to anything, II Is rather in favor Of Brown

Hook pilot whs Ii entrusted with the task Il
carrying the Great Eastern into our Asrbcr.
He Ii one of our most experienced aad trust

opinion a. to whether the mammoth ship should
be brought down the Sound to l06th street. a

matters can be so arranged for the first trip
that the steamer will be lightened sufic ieotly

than the exact quantity required for the trip.

however, IL only temporary; for, II steamers of
these dimensions are to run regularly viii

The use Of these large steamers once shown
TO be practicable, no time will be lost

will follow q remarkable revolution Ia the To-
cation Of our shipping business II will be

not been secured bit too soon from the iava-
sion Of bricks and mortar. Many grumbled st
the city being put to such an outlay for .
place Of recreation which was such distance
from the inhabited portion Of the city. With
the impulse impaired BY the removal Of the
foreign steam shipping to loSh street, and ths
new direction given TO the commerce Of the
Hudson BY the Improvement Of the Hsrissl

falsined much sooner than they or any ems

Charleston Convention, and will not recede

On the other hand, II il safe TO conclude that
the Southern delegations who have boltsd, and

prove equally upyielding, and there il, there

produced by the free soil leaders in this STATE

broken by the Introduction Of the Kansas

wedge by which the party has been split BY

ton-the same men who split the party twelve
years ago by the Buffalo platform. It's late
vote against the majority platform has sealed
the doom Of the democratic party.
With characteristic treschery the Regency
betrayed the con6ding men Of the South. To
the Hunter men they promised to vote for their

To the Guthrie men they made the same
promise, and also 10 the friends Of Dickinson
North and South, while 10 the psrtisans OF
Douglas they swore unwsvering feslty. Thus
they got into the Convention, with the help o,
Southern votes, and the moment they did, they
turned around and stabbed the South by voting
against its platform, while they laughed at the
credulity Of all who believed them, particular

Delaware and the Black Republicans.

The Black Republicans are making strong
efforts 10 carry Delaware. The means they
are resoriisg to are money, fraud and colo
nixation. They think that by carrying Del
aware for LINCOLN. they will relieve the
sectional cast and aspect stamped upon
their infamous organization. They think
also that by getting foothold in one slave
State they will have lever with which 20
operate in The other slave States
We are gratifed 10 know, however, that
all their time, money and effort will be
thrown away. That accomplished scholar,
able statesman and true hearted Democrat,
Senator BAyARD, and his talented son, Mr.
Thomas F. BAYARD, have made an active
and thorough canvass of the States, and
they report that she may be set down as
certain for BREcKlsRIDGE and LANE by a

THE TRIBUNE FOR 1851.
EposI eoWe >

The XXih Volume of the Weekly Tribune
comm euced with the issue of Sept. /. Du-
ring the past year The Tribune has been
obi ged TO devote quite large proportion
of It's space TO Politics, but we shall soon
be able 10 forego Political discussions almost
entirely, for months if not for years, and
devote nearly all our column to subjects OF
less intense, but more abiding, interest.
Among these, we mean 10 pay especial
attention 10,
l. Education The whole subject of
Education, both Popular and General, will
be discussed in our columns Throughout the
year 1861, and we hope 10 elicit in that dis
cussion some of the profoundest thinkers
and the ablest instructors in our country.
II is at once our hope and our resolve that
the cause of Education shall receive an inn
petus from the exertions of The Tribune in
lis behalf during the year 1861.
| II. Agriculture We have been COM
pelled 10 restrict our calculations of this
| great interest throughout 1860: and shall
endeavor TO atone therefor in 1861 What
ever discovery, deduction, demonstration, Is
calculated to render the reward OF labor de.
voted TO cultivation more ample or more
certain, shall receive prompt and full at
tention.
III. Manufactures, &c.-We hail every
! invention of enterprise whereby American
Capital and Labor are attracted TO and ad-
vantageously employed in any department
of Manufacturing or Mechanical Industry as
real contribution to the Public Veal, IN
suring ampler steadier, more convenient
more remunerating markets TO the Farmer,
with fuller employment and better wages
to the Laborer. The progress OF Mining
Iron Making, Steel> Making, Cloth Weaving
&c., &c., in our country and the world shall
be watched and reported by US with an
earnest and active sympathy.
vi. Foreign Affairs We employ the bes
correspondents in London, Paris, Turin
Berlin, and other European Capitals, tc
transmit US early and accurate advice;
of the great changes there silently
I but certainly preparing. la spite of tht
pressure of Domestic Politics, our News
from the Old World is now varied an'
ample; but we shall have TO render /
more perfect during the eYentful year JUS
before us.
