The following judicious and timely re-
marks of the Buffalo Commercial Adcerti-
ser Fillmore American) deserve the can
did consideration of conservative men
outside of the Republican party, in every
part of the country;


The true theory of the action of the
Baltimore Convention seems to US to be,
not especially to exhibit the power OF the
conservative sentiment of the country, but
to make it practically useful. It is doubt
less true that the candidate presented mt
Baltimore, whoever he may be, will faith
fully represent the principles best adapted
to the present good and final perpetuity of
the Union. But it does not therefore fol-
low that an Independent nomination
should be made. Thc conservatives Of tie
! North ,riU refuse to support a third cdndi-
date, except under a pressing necessity
| Should both the Charleston and Chicago
Conventions nominate nOtoriously section
| al men then our friends at Baltimore can
mt their man in the field, with an assured
| confidence that he will rally around him
! an enthusiastic and effective support
| But in the event of a prudent and conser-
vative nomination at Chicago-and there
are several candidates of that character
| prominently before that Convention-we
| are compelled 10 say lTdnh y W ouT SOutu-
ern conservative allies. that it lrHL be NOR
| oIly impossible to concentrate any considerable
strength on a third nomination. We say
further, that it is wrong to demand mega
tive action of the North, when positive
| good may result from affirmative
| course.


| The conservatives of the North are re
liable for two things. If the Chicago
| Convention nominatcs sectional man,
they cannot be induced to support him.
| II that Convention nOmindteS a national man,
ii viU be equally impossible to prevent them
from Uohmg .tor him. They recognize pos
sible necessity for a third candidate, and
will yield to that necessity when it comes.
/ But to expect them to commit themselves
in advance, to shut their eyes and go it
| blind, is tax upon them a little too Sc
we're to be patiently endured. Surprising
that patriotic devotion to the nationali-
| ty of politics should demand the defeat of
tue Chicago candidate, it is pretty evident
that he must be beaten at the North, If
anywhere. There would be no Southern
battlefield in such contest. The Moth
ern nationals would act on a just plea of
urgent necessity. Their action would be
defensiblc and patriotic. But with u
nomination made mt Baltimore on the 9th
of May, the great force of their argument
would be broken It would be said that
they had precludei the possibility of pru-
dent action at Chicago, pledged them
selves in advance to refuse support to any
Republican candidate, however acceptn-
BILE, and so compelled the nomination of a
distinctively sectional mau.


The Commercial .1dverfiser accordingly
recommends that the Baltimore Conven-
ton be postponed until the 2sd of May.
With satisfactory nomination at Chica-
go, the cooperation of the entire body of
the Northern conservatives may be relied
upon.

FINANCIAL AFFAIRs.-We copy the follow
ing facts from the New York Commercial of
Tuesday evening:


The bank statement this week for the first
time since the close Of August shows an il =
crease in the discount line, and as those who
are So ready to attribute all the recent f1uc-
tuatIons IN stock matters TO political causes
have cited the contraction of the bank loans
Tor the last lew weeks, as connected with a
rising specie average, III proof of a want of
confluence on the part of bank managers in the
existing state OF affairs, we presume that they
will be ready to hail the i'm portant increase of
a million and half shown by the foregoing
statement as a harbinger of returning conf
dence, more especially as it has occurred dur
ing week that stocks have been declining at
the IA lie OF two or three per cent q day.


The specie average has increased nearly
seven hundred thousand dollars in the face of
u drain OF more than a quarter million by the
sub treasury during the week, and an excess
of about one hundred thousand dollars in for
eign exports, beyond the receipts from Cali
t0rnla, thus showing that the domest tic ex-
changes must rule strongly in favor OF the
city, and demonstrating upon what want of
foundation In facts rest the arguments OF
those who are predicting danger to the banks
from the drawing down of balances by their
Southern customers. The deposits have ac-
cumulated little in advance of the amount
dsbursed ia loans, while there has been a
Der of banks which increased their loans du =
ring the week is thirty-one, and their specie
twenty eight. The per centage of specie TO
circulation and deposits is 26 Is per cent. be-
ing an increase OF 0.36 per cent. since las I
week.

BUFFALO, n. Y, June 16, 1860.


Dear Progress 1T is strange to see the muta-
bility of human feelings. Before the publication
of that private letter which Seward held over
Greeley's head as a reminder of past events, the
general feeling here was one of sympathy for Sc
ward and disgust at Greeley's course But now
the letter is before the public and the tide of feel
ing is entirely changed, disgust at the migrate
fulness of Seward'n now regns predominant and
people seem to feel glad that Greeley has buried
VIM. r. in political grave from which there is
no resurrection for him. That letter shows him
as he really is a selfish greedy, ntrigue1ng Office
seeker, with principles honor about him,
who would step to an office over the corpse of the
dearest friend he ever had.


The predominant Selling here, now, is the hope
of the nomination of Douglas for once. as the
state of affairs is here at present. the Little G
aut'' would make his mark in the forehead of Abe
Lincoln in New York There is no doubt but
that the Republicans of New York are disgusted
with the Illinois rail splitter and since Seward
has lost their sympathy they do not feel much
like voting for Lincoln, while the Democracy of
New York are all alive and ready to accept the
nomination of Douglas with open arms
