The Result i'm this state.

The people of this State voted on Thursday last
for one hundred and twenty delegates to ConVen-
ton and also for and against Convention. The re-
turns received up to the time Of going to press in
dictate that the Unionists have triumphed by large
majority.
In speaking Of the successful party as Unionists,
we must not to be understood as saying that they
will submit to the administration Of the government
on sectional or black Republican principles, hut
that they are anxious to preserve the Union on a
Constitutional basis and to obtain such guarantees
as will lead to permanent reconstruction of the
Union The Unionists entertain hopes, and nearly
all of them strong hopes that the Union can and
will be preserved and they willing to show their
faith in this respect by their works They are op-
posed to dsunion at this time, and would regard it
at any time as fraught with numerous and great
calamities; and they are also opposed to the at
tempts which are being made to Hericdnize this Re-
public by breaking it up and mourning the hazards
of revolution simply account of the election of
Mr.. Lincoln to the Presidency.
We are not sure that the people have voted for a
Convention In some of the Counties heard from
the vote for it large and in others the vote against
it is large The vote on Convention will be close,
but we incline to think that small majority has
been cast in favor Of 1t

THE WORTH OF THE UNION.

There is Balance in which the destiny of nations
and the value of their existence is weighed in
modern times, which reminds one of those celestial
scales in which Jove, according to the poets, was
wont to weigh the issue of conflicts and The success
of rival heroes. This balance has its index in the
movements of the Stock Exchange. Though not
unerring 1t gives honest Indications for party pre-
JUDGES do not long blind the sagaciouS operators
Change. At the very moment of revolution it may
yield to panic, or be for short period buoyed up
by false hopes, but in the end the beam will settle
down TO the intrinsic standard and the value of
national credit and stability is guaged with the same
accuracy as the soldity Of bank or railroad COM
pany.
We are glad to perceive that Wall street does not
despair of the Union or of the preservation OF ma
tional security and prosperity. We perceive that
there is an advance in the rate of the loans Just
issued Of quite a noticeable amount When we
find those who deal in the evidences of public debt
by the million are not scared there is ground for
hope Such renewal of confidence is derived from
a sharp analysis of public feeling 1t shows that
the sentiment is in favor of Union, of harmony, of
accommodation, of compromise and of peace. If
war was contemplated seriously this advance would
be impossible The reason that large amounts of
similar stocks would be at once amounts to meet
the necessary requirements of hostile preparations
would alone be sufficient to distrust and sus-
picion.
In the absence of any mere speculative move
ments, we may take it for granted that capitalists
build upon restoration of harmony, or at worst
the adoption of conciliatory policy. We accept
the upward tendency of these loans as favorable
omen In the midst of the serious troubles with
which the ship of State is surrounded, such rise is
like the cheering sign of the mercury mounting in
the barometer tube from the fearful fall that attends
the hurricane. We sincerely hope that the indica-
tons of the Stock Exchange may be correct, and
that the efforts made 10y wise and patriotic men may
be crowned with the amplest success.-NeW York

MIGRATION OF THE BUFFALo.-There is feature
in the migratory character of the Buffalo not gene
rally known except to hunters, and that is that the
vast body of the herd is never found in the same
district Of country two seasons in succession. The
buffalo of North American form an immense army,
marching in one continuous circuit but perhaps
three-f6urths of the entire number of which are
found within a range of from two to three hundred
miles. Thus, where bufaloes are abundant one
year. they are fewer the next until the great body
having completed its circuit again makes its ap-
pearance. This circuit is completed in about four
years Its western limit is the eastean basis OF the
Rocky Mountains, and its eastern is bounded by
marginal outline of civilization, extending from the
British settlement on the north to northern Texas
on the south. The range of latitude traversed has
for many years been about twenty:three degrees,
extending from .he Cross Timbers of Texas to the
tributaries of Lake Winnipeg on the north. The
band travel southwark on the eastern line and north
ward on the western, never crossing the Rocky
Mountains The comparative proximit, I of these
lines, being at some points not over five hundred
miles, account for the preseuce Of buaoes in rela-
tively small numbers, throughout the entire area
embraced within the lines Of travel

From WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, Feb 27.-All the employees of the
Post-0fice Department, and Department Of the In
terror waited on and babe farewell to the President
to-day, also the Judges and officers Of the Court of
Claims.
Dispatches from Texas say the arsenal at San An
tono and some forts in Northern Texas have been
seized by State troops and some cannons at Brazos
and Brownsville There is no mention of Twiggs'
surrender rumor that he had been shot by
soldier is evidently unfounded.
The City Councils took farewell of the President
to-day, and visited Lincoln, who addressed them,
saying he had no disposition intention to infringe
the rights of any section. Much of the present
trouble originates from our misunderstanding each
other. He trusted when we are better acquainted,
we will become stronger friends.

THE WORKING MEMS NATIONAL CoNVEN-
TION

This body, which assembled in Philadelphia last
Friday, adopted resolutions to the following effect
on Saturday:
ResolUeG, That we, the working men of the Uni
ted States, without distinction of party believe that
as consequence of the sectional controversy now
agItating our country, we are now approaching the
verge of national, social and financial ruin; that
our material prosperity our hopes of happiness and
future security, depend upon the preservation of
the Union.
2. That in the mere abstract questions which
have been used to distract and divide the honest
masses, the working men have no real interest As
we can hardly hope for a safe solution of pending
difficulties through the politicians of the country,
we therefore exhort our brethren to lay aside all
their party feeling surrender forever the ties that
have bound them to favorite leaders, and unite in
one solid column for single purpose-the preserva-
ton of the Federal Union
8. That the territorial question ought to be set
tied on a constitutional basis, and the resolution
then goes to endorse the Crittenden compromise.
4. That the Union must and shall be preserved,
and the cooperation of our brethren is invoked to
"hurl with speedy hands the accursed traitors who
have with mpunity, desecrated the Utmost sanctu-
ary," of freedom.
3. This resolution deaounces all attempts made oy
partisans or public papers to promote disunion and
that the ship of State has been too long confded
men who unworthy of the trust and who have
tiona strife; we WILL therefore, vote against aspiring
demagogueS, and vote for firm and patriotic men.
6. This resolution denies the right of any State
to secede, but deprecates the use Of coercve power
by the Genera! Government rs the Government
rests upon the will of the people, the source of all
political power.
Z. This resolution deprecates the election of any
man to any public trust who has by any means en-
deavored to prevent just settlement of the present
difficulties.
8. The Legislatures of the different States are
requested to repeal all personal liberty bills that
may violate any constitutional principles of the peo-
pie of the United States.
9. The working men of the thirty -four States are
recommended to form associations pledging them
selves to lay upon the altar of their country all par
ty predictions, and to maintain the Union of all
these States, lone and inseparable, now and for
ever"
10. The next National Convention Of the Work
ing Men is to be held at Louisville, Kentucky, on
the 4th Of July, 1861 and hope is expressed that
the working men will send delegates from every
State.
After three cheers had been given for the resolu-
lutions Mr.. John o. Lawrence, of Virginia, moved
OF three be appointed, with power to increase the
number to thirty-four. The following gentlemen
are the committee: the President Mr.. j. d. Curry
and Mr.. John Wolf
Mr.. Touchstone, of Maryland, delivered q very
impressive speech, and introduced several resolu-
tons support of the laws and the Constitution of
the country. The Convention then adjourned sine
die.

IMPoRrANTFRoM JApAN-TRoUBLB WITH

-
: sAdyices from Japan to the last of December re-
port serious troubles between the natives and the
foreign residents A letter in the New York Herald,
dated Yokahama, December 20, says: 1874
Matters here are in a very bad state can assure
you-a war or q fight being certain between the
English French, and in fact all the European resi-
dents on the one side and the japanese on the other
butler by the japanese, In the manner they did, has
excited the most deadly hatred-they are sworn to
have revenge The French Consul has removed
from Jeddo down to Kanawaga, being afraid to re-
side there any longer Every one here carries his
sword and revolver whenever he goes out after dark
There is no doubt the French and English are going
to compel Japan to give Prussia treaty, which GER
tainly would not be granted without eolnpulsion.--
But what is still worse is the quarrel going on be-
tween the English residents and Mr.. Alcock, the
British Minister, and Captain Vyse, the Consul
Neither of these gentlemen dare go into the street
alone after dark, although they both carry pistols.
They appear to be universally disliked, although
both are of high standing at home.
At Kanawaga, an Englishman named Moss was
arrested for MORALLY wounding japanese police
officer The act is believed to have been done acct
dentaly, and not by Moss. Upon hearing of his ~
rest the British Minister and Consul expressed
great indignation, and demanded his immediate SUR
render, coupled with threat to blow up the Gov
ernors Palace in the event of noncompliance There
being at the time no English vessel-ofwar in port,
the Minister enlisted aid of the Prussan commodore
who placed men, howitzers and boats at his dispo-
sal; but these were fortunately not called into
QUESTION. After twenty -four hours imprisonment
Moss was delivered up, and subsequently tried be-
fore Consular Court and sentenced to three months
imprisonment, and pay fine of one thousand dol
lars and suffer deportation from Japan. The affair
created much illfeeling between the foreign resi-
dents and natives.
The Prince of Bungo, third ambassador to the
United States, or as he was generally called, Seen
sor or advisor" has been recently appointed one Of
the Governors for Foreign Affairs All three of the
ambassadors in the Office of the Minister Of
State at Jeddo.
The next point of interest in the news is the pro-
posed embassy to England next summer. The jap
anese have applied to Mr.. Townsend Harris to know
if American officers could be procured to navigate
steamer there and back.
