Falling off in the New York Trade

The northern people are beginning to find out what they have lost by driving of the cotton States. The New .York Herald of the 10th instant, says:
 1.-The first rush of spring trade in the ,,etropols is now over. It has been the mildest sind of rush. Very few south eln buyers have appeared, and the rssinci pal houses have had only limited ord:rs to Mill. Ihewestern trade has been verylight so far, buAa revival is expected in April, wben the canal and river navigation is fairly opened. to that produce can be moved forward. Our merchants are. just beginning to feel the effects of the secession movement, and the worst remains behind. That we shall have a very dull summer .andJ slack autumn trade appears to be quite ceftain, and unless the new administration ,tsf fkcs immediate steps to settle the pending folitieal troubles one lay or the other, the rity of New York wi n be the scene of a
 naneial revulsion Altogether unprece-
 snted." 1

The Governor requested to Convene
 the egislature-Action of the Conven-
 tion repudiated-Eorder State Conven-
 Hawthorn, Hon. E. A. Warren ard
 others.
 Pursuant to previous notice, an unusual lv large meeting of the citizens was held at the new court room, on Thursday evening last, to adopt means to insure the speedy secession of our State from the free negro government of the North.
 Hon. II. L. Grinsted was called to the chair, and E. A. Warren, jr., appointed secretary. The chairman having briefly stated the objects in view, on motion, a committee on resolutions was appointed, consisting of the following gentlemen, viz: Dr. N. S. Graves, J. T. Bearden, esq, Peter Pope, Dr. w. s. L Ike and B. w. NJ. Warren.
 The committee having retired, Col. A. T. Hawthorn was introduced as a citizen of the Confederatcd States and greeted with round after round of applause. He held the audience enchained for an hour with his glowing periods, his logical arguments and his impassioned appeals in behalf of the government of white men, and elo. quentlv defended the Confederate States and their citizens against the islanders of the I.incolnites and submissionists- Judg- ing by the applause clicited, his words found the mark they were designed to reach.
 When he had concluded, the committee, through their chairman, reported the fol lowing preamble and resolutions, which were adopted with but one dissenting voice: WHEREAS. The convention recently called by | the people of this State, has adjourned without severing our relations with the government of the United States or permitting the people the privi- ege of voting directly and immediately upon the question of secession. Therefore, | Resoipcd That we, the citizens of Ouachta county, do hereby declare our disappobaton of the | action of said convention, believing that, under existing circumstances, delay in asserting our in l dependence can only have the effect to embolden | our enemies, degrade us, and increase the proba- | bity of civil war.
 Resolred, That we believe the majority of the | members of the State convention who opposed se- cession and who would not permit the people to vote thereon in a reasonable time, are in favor of submission to abolition rule, and have, and would | still cling to the Union without regard to the l humliating consequence of such course. l Resolred, That the border State convention is a bumbug, and q shallow pretense for unqualified | submission.
 Resoloed, That the Union is destroyed, and that parotism, duty and honor, alike impel us to join with the seeded States, and to share their destiny l for veal or for woe
 1 Resoioed, That as the action of the convention is temporsing and unsatisfactory, we hereby re- | quest the Governor to poayene the legislature Tn extra session, in order that new convention be called.

Translated from the Paris Moniteur Februar,
 25th, for the New York Herald French Opinion of the Merrill Tariff

French Opinion of the Merrill Tariff.
 Among the items of news which come from the United States, is one which does not directly concern the domestic crisis, but Is no less worthy of attention, for 1t has an international bearing which will es- cape no ones attention The representa- tlves of the northen States, taking advan- tage of the absence of the southern mem bers have been in great haste to vote a new crrstomhouse tariff. Now, then, the North wEich is desirous of protecting its man ufactures, is very uniaithful to ideas of liberty when it has to do with tariffs, and does not keep in view the interests of the South-a country essentially agricultural and very much in favor of free trade.
 The tariff heretofore in force was very protective, since it imposed on foreign merchandise adyalorem duties carrying from neneteen to thirty per cent. The new tariff increases all the taxes, either directly or by combinations, which substi- tutes specific for advalorem duties. This retrograde reform has been very badly re- ceived in Eng and will be no better liked in France; for our silks which used to pay nineteen per cent, will pay tax varying from twenty to thirty per cent, and our wines taxed at thirty per cent, will be assessed at thrty-three and half per cent
 If a reconciliation should be eftecteI in the United States. which does not yet ap- pear to be beyond hope, it is proper to sur mise that the abolition of this tariff will be one of the compromise clauses obtained by the South. If the Union be not rc-cstab- lished, the programme of free trade pro- claimed by the South will open to our trade and agriculture road to fruitful in tercourse and large returns.

THE FIEsT DIsUNIoNIsT-We are in- debted to the New York Express for spg- gestive scrap of political history:
 On the lst of February, 1850, Senator Hale, of New Hampshire, presented two petitions from Isaac Jel1iies, and other citizens of Pennsylvania, and John E. Woodward and others, praying that "some plan might be devised tor Me diSsolution ot Me American Unton" Mir. Webster, of Massachusetts, was unsparing in his de- nunciation of the petitions, and suggested that there should have been preamble to them in these words
 {" Gentlemen, members of Congress- Whereas, at the commencement of the ses- sion, you and each of you took your solemn oaths, in the presence of God and on the holy evangelist, that you would support the constitution of the United States-now therefore, we pray you to take immediate steps to break up the Union. and over- throw the constitution as soon as you can. ''
 Yet the petition received three votes, on the question of its reception, viz: John P. Hale, of New Hampshire; Wm. H. Seward, of New York; Salmon P. Chase, of Chio The last two are now cabinet officers.
