The VIRGINIA CONVENTION ELEcr1oN.-Thus
far the returns of the Virginia Convention cleo
ton seem to indicate the success of the oonser-
vative party, or conditional seoessionists. If
they have xiumphed, it is upon the hope Of
some compromise from this Border State Con-
ference at Washington, which will justify tho
adhesion Of Virginia to the Union yet q little
longer. We apprehend, however, that the first
important fact which will present itself to the
Virginia Convention will be the failure of this
Washington Conference; in which event the
Convention, even if elected against immediate
secession, may be revolutionized in single
day. The issue turns upon this Washington
Conference, which has kindly volunteered to
save the Union with closed doors. The State
Convention in question will assemble on the
18th inst, and before that day this Washington
Conference will have adjourned, and the vir-
ginia Commissioners will have reported the re-
suit to their State Legislature. Then the un-
mixed issue to Virginia, we fear, will be be-
tween secession and trustful submission to the
new administration. Upon that issue Virginia
may yet 60 by the board before the 4th Of
March. We do not discover yet any signs of
daybreak.

THE RECENT SEIZURE OF ARMS IN New YORK
OUR GOVERNOR AND LEGISLATURE We publish
ed yesterday telegraphic despatch from AL
bany to the effect that Governor Morgan had
received communication from Governor
Brown, Of Georgia, demanding the surrender Of
the muskets, purchased by citizens Of Georgia,
seized in this city by the police in pursuance
of the order of Superintendent Kennedy. 1t is
stated that, though reply is desired, the
Governor has not replied. He could
send the insulting resolutions Of the
Legislature, threatening to coerce the South by
drafts Of militia from this State, but he cannot
send an answer to just demand. This Is only
in keeping with the action Of the Assembly on
Saturday last when q resolution was offered TO
the effect that the Police Commissioners be
directed to report to the House by what au-
thority, If any, they have ordered the seizure
and detention Of these arms. This very ma
iural and important inquiry into transaction
that amounts to an act OF war, and Is wholly
unconstitutional, was voted down, though 1t
may involve the State in grave issues and add
new complications to our national troubles.
II was q highbanded act Of despotism, and tho
Governor Of the State ought TO send the arms
forthwith to the Governor Of Georgia, with an
apology for the outrage. Those who are ap-
pointed officers to carry out the laws for the
protection Of property ought not to be the
arst 70 violate them. Those who complain most

WEED AND GREELEY.-Weed dolefully con-
fesses that he was foored in the late Senatorial
contest, but draws some drops of comfort
from the flooring of Greeley. The white coated
philosopher, on his side, tries to be Jolly
over the defeat Of the zone man power" but
virtually confesses he has been himself sorely
wounded in the house Of his friends. Very well.
1t is an old saying that "when rogues fall out
honest men get Their just deserts" and SO let
US hope that Judge Harris, as the Senator
nominated to succeed Mr.. Seward, will prove
an honest man.

The Future OF the Two Conseleracies-
The Census Returns Of 1890.

There is great deal Of speculation afoat on
the question Of the two confederacies, North
and South, which are now almost certain to be
constructed out Of the presen unhappy diff
cul,ies, and people are making anxious calcu-
,ations as to the future of each. If the exist
ing trouble can be settled in peace, and the
two sections Of the country divide on amicable
terms, there may be no material change in the
intertrade Of either section, and things may 60
on pretty much as before, without any conside-
rable diminution in the prosperity Of one or
the other. But the future prospects of the
city Of New York have become subject Of the
deepest solicitude to many. 1t is impossible.
however, to foresee exactly at this juncture
what the ultimate effect upon this metropolis
will be. AT first, undoubtedly, we will feel
stagnation; real estate especially, aud indeed
all other kinds Of property, will suffer a serious
depreciation, and very heavy revusion must
take place. What its duration may be no one
can tell; but in course of time everything may
turn up right again, and the tide Of CONNER
cial prosperity flow on as before the separation
Of the South from the North.
Du' meIe ~ hnotneT quesuon vi HOMOGENEOUS
Importance to the future Of both confederacies,
and that IL the capacity Of the South to main
tain itself out Of its native resources Upon
this subject we have heard much from different
quarters, opinions varying according to the
sources from which they emanate, and taking
color from the political views Of those who
bold them. The anti-slavery philosophers, for
example, contend that the South has heretofore
enjoyed but a email share Of the general pros
perity OF the country; that her progress aud
growth have been Slows that she has con-
tributed little TO the universal wealth of
the nation, and that her resources are
limited. Helpers book strove hard by the
means often Of erroneous statistics, to
establish these points This is grave mis-.
take; the South is not poor in resources while
she has her cotton and rice, her sugar and to
bacco-all OF them necessities 10 the civilized
world; she has plenty Of coal and iron 100,
and other elements of wealth. Her ereatctt

We have now before us the official returns Of
the census of 1860, furnished by the Census Blu

State partnerships, and will be concerned in
nothing that will not grow into q nationality"
But the new confederacy will be something
more than partnership or aleague-it will be
an indissoluble government, nation, all that
the Canadians can desire in point of consolida-
ton. Let them, therefore, prepare at once for
their destiny.

THE COTToN FRIGHT IN ENGIAND.-It will be
seen, from the extracts from the London jour-
nails published elsewhere, that the alarm occa-
stoned in England by the prospect of the sus-
pension of the cotton supply from this country
is assuming all the features of panic. The
commercial and industrial interests there feel
that their very existence depends on there be-
ing no interruption of, or considerable falling
off in, the quantity of that staple which We
send them. Several suggestions are thrown
out by the writer's of these articles as to the
means by which England can be rendered in
dependent of us for her cotton. Most of these
are familiar to our readers, having been ven.
tilated in one shape or ether tor many years
back. For the last quarter of a century, in
fact this question Of multiplying the sources
Of cotton supply has been agitated both in
and out Of Parliament The abolition So
cieties and companies Of private spectators
have each in their turn pressed 1t upon the
attention of the government. The publications
OF DR.. Livingstone's African explorations re-
vived public interest on the subject, which
had died out from the impracticable character
of the schemes recommended in connec-
ton with it 1t was demonstrated by
his researches that abundant supplies
of cotton could be obtained from that region
under certain conditions. These were that
Great Britain should take possession of the
cotton growing districts, and employ slave la
Dor, for without that no dependence could be
placed on the supply. Even then the cotton
thus produced could not compete with the
American staple, as the latter had the advan-
tage of all the organization and machinery sug-
gested by long experience.
Now that secession has brought home to the
English people the dangers to which they may
be exposed by the interruption of our
cotton exports, all these exploded schemes
are being again revived and agitated.
That their government has but little faith in
the practicability of any of them is evident
from the letter of Lord John Russell, published
in another column. All the aid that he can
offer them is the services of her Majesty's Con-
suls in the countries which are said to be
adapted to the growth of cotton. The truth is
that his lordship and his colleagues, like all
persons who have investigated the subject, are
convinced that Africa is the only region, be-
sides the United States, where this staple can be
produced. As there it can only be rendered
reliable by slave labor under British rule, it is
useless for the manufacturer to count upon it.
The English cannot stultify themselves by re-
turning back to the system of forced labor, and
they must therefore continue to depend upon
America for their supply. The prospect which
alarms them is, after all, more imaginary than
real; for whether there be peaceable or vio-
lent disruption of the confederacy, the Southern
States will still 60 on producing cotton SO long
as they find market for it.

The MORRILL,. TARIFF BnL-THE SOUTH AND
ENGLISH AND FRENCH GooDs.-The republicans
in Congress, with their new tariff bill, are
clearing the way for the speedy recognition Of
Southern confederaoy. by England and
France. The Southern seeded States have
the cotton. England and France must have
1t. The very existence of four or five millions
Of the English people depends upon it. Eng
land and France have their iron, cotton, WOOL
len and silk manufactures to exchange for this
raw material of cotton, the very articles which
the cotton States desire in exchange for their
great staple. With Southern free trade con-
federacy proclaimed on the one hand; and Z
Northern United States protective tariff or tax
ranging from rwrn,y niy or sixty per cent
on the other hand upon imported silks, cot
tons, woollens and iron, is it likely that Eng
land and France will hesitate in choosing their

for the sake Of the raw material of cotton.
and for the free Southern market, which will
take their goods in exchange in preference to

ought, therefore, to feel thankful, as they do,

ARE THE REPUBLICANS BACKING DowN2-Now
that Greeley has been defeated for Senator,
and war articles are no longer of any use to
get him votes, the Tribune falls back to its old
doctrine of peaceable secession. In yester-
days number it announces that the republican
party is likely to be betrayed by the leaders
agreeing to compromises and concessions-a
statement which appears to be confirmed by an
other republican organ, which "blushes for the
mankind was betrayed by kiss, SO the republi-
can party may be put to open shame by those in
whom it trusted" The Tribune says it prefers
that peaceable secession should 60 on, even of
the whole fifteen slave States, for that would
be the quickest way of overthrowing the slave
power. The border States would soon be alb
sorbed, and slavery would be extinguished by
the Northern free State republic, England,
France and other nations putting bar to its
extension. Then why did the Tribune philoso-
piers waste so much paper and ink in calling
for coercion and civil war? They intimate
that the Potomac, the Ohio and the Mississippi
must constitute the line between the two re-
publics Maryland, however, will have u
word to say about one of these natural
boundaries. The Tribune finally recommends
''the avoidance of unnecessary collision with
the seeding States" Excellent advice. Re-
Gently Greeley appeared to all sober citizens
very like Cartoons tailor, who was "blue-
moulded for want Of batin' "a character
which that writer describes as taking off
his great coat and dragging il through the
street of an Irish village on fair day, and
challenging everybody in general to tread
upon it. Greeley has been thus dragging his
white coat through the gutter; but he now
thinks II better to take 1t up, brush the dirt off,
and become once more member of the Peace
Society.
