The free soil fhction, after having driven the Southern delegates out of the Convention at Charleston, have themselves corns to a dead lock, aad the lobby members are out of money I and going bone. [ This settles the fste of both the Northern I squatter sovereignty men and the Southern fire eaters in the worn out democratic organization. As for the party itself, it was broken up long ago, and the skeleton of the organization was kept together merely bj the cohesive < power of the public plunder. Half of the rank and file of the old Northern democracy are now in the black republican ranks, and half of the old whlgs are acting with the local demo cratic organizations, or holding back with the vast reserve of the conservative vote, which refuses to fupport either extreme. The telegraphic report informs us that an effort will be made to rescind the two-thirds rule, but that the New York delegation are opposed to this. Confidence Csgger and his men have a keen scent for tke spoils, and they see very clearly that any nomination by a simple majority, and that majority composed of ^Northern delegates who eanhot count upon one electoral vote, would be equivalent to defeat in November. In view of a failure to rescind the two-thirds rule, a proposition will be made to adjourn, to meet in Baltimore on the 26th of June. A much better proportion than this would be one to adjourn both of the present Charleston Conventions, to meet in Baltimore on the same day with the Union Convention, and that both bodies come together and adopt a conservative platform, and present conservative candidates for the popular vote. The whole country?North. South, East and West?Is revolting at this continued agitation of the lggar question, and the revolutionary and destructive tendencies of the black republican leaders. The democratic politicians have no great issue upon which to go before the people; ^nt the people bare one on which they wtRaaet the fanatic idea of the day, and pnt it down. But they want an organisation through which the popular sentiment can be expressed. The minds of men everywhere are startled now with the revolutionary ideas of the abolition fanatics, who would reorganise the courts, exercise the habeas corpus in the slave States by federal power, arm the negroes against the whites, and involve the whole country in a bloody and terrible civil war. The conservative spirit everywhere is roused against these black republican theories. It has bean seen in the recent elections in Connecticut, in Rhode Island, in Minnesota* and it Is well known to exist throughout the 8outh. All parties desire now that aflkirs should follow their natural tendency, and obey the influences that will govern them in spite of Congresses or Territorial Le gislaturea. The democratic party la dead. Tbe flre-eaten and the squatter sovereigns are alike worn out Let tbe delegates that hare gathered as democrats at Charleston recognise this bet, and come to Baltimore to join hands on a conservative platform with the Union men who cannot now go with either extreme. By so doing they will meet tbe pending crisis, and rally a million aad a half more of conservative votes to their support. The Siucm Traoemks or Lasok Ctrma? It will be seen by a telegraphic report in another column that the body of an unknown female waa found oa Tuesday floatiog off Sandy Hook, and was taken oa shore for Interment. Tbe only articles found upon ber person were a comb and a pair of scissors, which, as maybe imagined, will not aid much the identification of the remains. As soon as the fact of tbe diecovery becomes generally circulated we shall no doubt have a repetition of the aoenes that ensued upon the finding of the body of the woman who waa gagged aad soak in a barrel Ol piLCD ID MP ion IWTPI DOCK. 1 Uf tflUITN of about thirty mtaelng female* wont to laapect the corpee to the hop* that U would turn out to be that of their loot friend.

It remain* to be aeen whether, under the now Police act anj improvement will be effected in this state of thing*. The commissioners are armed with almost despotic powers, and they will be supported by public opinion ia say measures that tend te render the lives and properties of our citizens more secure. It is stated to be the fact that the majority of suicides and murders which are committed amongst females are perpetrated in, or in connection with, houses of prostitution. In Paris there ia a polios regulation which compels the owners of such establishments to keep a daily register of ail the persons who take up their abode there. It extends even to hotels and lodging house* situated in doubtful neighborhoods, and a fine is inflicted fog non-compliance. The advantage of such a law must be obvious to every one. No sooner is a body found than an immediate clue is afforded by these registers to the per vuu BUNU15?ui?i yivfiwuouoi/vm viuub the class of unfortunate* who are the moot frequently made the victims of the murderer's vengeance. Why cannot some similar regula tioa be initiated and enforced by the new Police Board? The powers which It wields are arbitrary enough, Heaven knows, to justify it ia assuming a stretch of authority which would render more difficult the enactment of these silent tragedies ia our midst. Tito IhUM or How Vork-Tho Late Ko srksMo Lo|ldt(srt. The late most remarkable Legislature ia still I receiving denunciation from all classes, aad the adherents of both political parties from every section of the State. The anathemas hurled against the members of that body, instead of being softened, only increase with | the lapse of time, until an impartial observer can torn no other opinion than that the like was never before known in any age or country, even placing in the background the long to be remembered Wisconsin Legislature, that took with them in their transactions the Governor and other high officials. Were the charges that are daily being made by the press throughout the State directed against the members of one party only, we might easily point to a remedy of this great abuse of power by those who have betrayed the trust that had been reposed in them by their respective constituencies; bat members of both parties appear to have been alike reckless of every sense of pride or honor, and bartered their votea under the log-rolling system or told them like stock upon the market: and,from all accounts, their price dally fluctuated under the operations of the bulls and bear* of the Albany lobby. The news of the daily operations of the legislative plunderers whilst in enssioa, although of the most astounding nature, was of small moment when compared with the charges made sinoe they adjourned. These charges are not aimed at a few persona in each branch of the Legislature, but a majority of both, clearly pointing to corruption of an extent unparalleled either in anclemt or modern time. Are tbeee charges true ? Is it possible that a body of men can be so recreant to the snored trusts placed in them T To all who have any doubts about the truth or falsity of the multitude of accusations, we have but to refer them to the daily record of prooeedinga, which will show a united, determined and well pursued plan, frem the com men cement to the adjournment, to enter upon a raid against the rights of private citizens and to plunder the city of New York. The open and barefaced transactions of many of the member* ud Senator* were euch that the veriest novice In legislative matter* coald not bat discover the motives that prompted manj of them to pursue the course that they did. The beet informed in these matter* assert that it was no unusual thing for members to glory in their own shame by boas ting how much they made upon certain votes, and upon other vote*, when their thirty pieces of silver were not forthcoming Immediately after they had fulfilled their part of the bargain, to denounce the lobby operator who had bought them and agreed to give their price?in the barrooms and other public places warning all others not to trust him. The frequent announcements that such amount was being expended to carry this bill or to defeat that measure, and the banding to ^ruirr ui mrmum, tr|u?uim vi ymi\j Uobh. upon the ildf where corrupt mwu were need, are of themselves enough, without any of the detail*, to brand the late Legislature with Infamy. The fact that the beery operator* from the city handled the moet money, at once furnishes the reason why *o much of the time of the lawmaker* waa spent upon New York city affair*, and why the rural member* knew to much about thie metropolis. It would area from all report* that there had been a general understanding throughout the State during last election, to eelect a *et of pliant aen to be managed by the ecbemist* in a pirati ral campaign. Our much abused and overtax ed city was attacked by the buccaneer* at every point that it would pay. their burglarious hand* were thrust into every corner where a tracer could be found wttbout anv resard to the rights of the city or our citizen*. U there no way to brtsg these gentlemen to rigid Account for their betrayal of their trust* and ruthlessly trampling upon the rights of clUudi and plundering this city? There bare been a numbr r of statements that the Attorney (ieneral was about prosecuting a number of member* and Seuatoi*. but this we see denied from a reliable source. We are th;.s left without hope in that direction There Is plats'j a p-eeailirg sentiment in the public mind to glee the Legislature an oeet; bwuting before m me judicial tribunal; but who r bas the autho-liy that will take bold of the matter fearlessly. t* a qweettnn cat so easily i answered.

The rUecMtO laUraatlMUl wcalar CeeiMt. The excitement about the great international coateet of muscle still continues, though at a degree a little below the fever heat of Saturday and Sunday. The stakes are of course still bold, and as the Interest in the question whether the etalworth infant of tfenicia or the well pummelled champion of England has prosed himself the better man is divided between filthy lucre and national pride, we cannot expect to see the anxiety about this grand affair subside until the arrival of the aext steamer from Europe. At present the texata queslio remains unsettled. We have > aUiMiumt frnm tit* rslhrs* to the London Times that he pat an end to the fight at the request of the friends of the American Knight of the P. R.; but an the friends of Heenan consisted of only the few who were assembled In his corner, and as we hare not heard rom an j other source of such request, It seems a little dubious that the interference came from that qoarter. The general tone of the English press is decidedly favorable to the British champion, from the London Times down. We are told that Sayera presented himself at the office of the referee a few days after the fight, looking little the worse for the mel e, though his right arm was supported in a sling?its tendons broken by warding off the terrible blosrsof the American giant?but that Heenan was so used up as to be unable to make his appearance at all before the public. It seems quite clear that it this is the view the English press is going to take of this important contest, involving the courage, endurance, strength of muscle and capacity to receive punishment of the two nations, and if the fight is not to be renewed, the international complications are more complicated than ever, and further from a satisfactory settlement. The San Juaa boundary difficulty may yet be arranged by diplomatic manoeuvres without an appeal to arms; but this difficulty as to which country has the toughest muscle, and which champion can st&ad the hardest thrashing without giving In, is a more knotty question to solve. It is not long ago since the London Times deplored the fact that the youth of America were falling off in physical strength and. developement; perhaps the possessor of the English belt can dissolve that illusion now, after hi* recent exnerience: certain it ia. that how ever demoralizing may be the example of the prize ring la many reepecta, it has had the effect of stimulating the young men of thia country to practise the science of boxing, not only as an amusement, but as a matter of self-defence. So frequent have pugilistic encounters become among the rowdy class that almost every youag man in the community has felt the necessity of developing his muscle, and acquiring a knowledge of the "noble art of selfdefence," until of late years we see many respectable young men?clerks and others? whose affinities are widely separated from the prise ring or the rowdy element of the oountry, carrying under their broadcloth well det veloped muscles, which are capable of doing good service in case of neoearity; and that n strong arm and some science in boxing are far more manly weapons of defenoe than the knife, the pistol or the slung-shot who sen doubt? The decsdfooe of these latter weapons must necessarily follow the cultivation of the muscular developement in our youth, something which we conceive is greatly to be commend ru. 1 UUR. WWpVHB WUIVUU VI VVUiW W UflVU by the habitvt* of the prize ring end other rowdies, who, although possessing immense musculsr power sad skill, are almost invariably cowards, sad, being equally matched la muscle, resort to deadlier weapons la their contests with others; but each weapons will be confined to the localities in which these rowdies alone ceagregste. and we trust will not long be found to prevail in the oommunity to the same extent as heretofore. Manly exercises of all kinds have always prevailed In Kogland, and thus she has reared s class of men almost unequalled in physical power, and has trained, perhaps, some of the best soldiers in the world; but with the lacrossing taste for athletic sports in this country, eo prevalent for the last two or three i years? crieketing, beae bail, the regulated exercises of the gymnasium and the science of boxing ?we shall soon be able to show, with II these auxiliaries, combined with the sd vantage* of s mixed rsoe, embracing the finest physical element* ia the world, s hardy generation of men without an equal oa the face of the globe. We prmnw that the pnt International content of tnuacle may be considered finished by the drawn battle at Farnboroagh; for it Is pretty evident that the brutal fight will not be returned. Both heroes, we take It, hare got ?bont as much of It as either personal prowess or national spunk demanded, and whether the belt Is to remain la England or to be transported to this country ?we hope that this is the >Mt exhibition in which the gladiators of the 1 wo nations will be engaged. There la a broader and more humane arena la which the relative qualities of Kagtaad and America may be tee ted than tho limited and bloody rpaoe encircled within the prize ring.

What then was laughed at aa a funay idea is now being contemplated as aa admitted fact Withia a few weeks the heir apparent of one of the oldest moaarohies of Europe, aid the ambassadors of one of the most ancient and exclusive of the Asiatic empires, will arrive la America with purposes that have remarkable similarity. Each comes with a traia of philosophic observers, students, artists and future statesmen, to see and to know, bj practical observation, the country whose rising interests have an Immediate and intimate connection with those of their own. Each cornea to study the relations of Americaone towards the British empire, which he is hereafter to be called to rule, and the other towards the crowded communities of Asia, which are again opening their long closed ports to commerce. There was no conoert between them. The fact is simply a part of the natural developement of the nineteenth century, pregnant with mighty changes. America to-day stands in every sense as the next neighbor, the true mediator, between Europe and Asia. The oceans that roll between us and the widely separated shores of the greater continent are the open highwayi of commerce and international Intercourse No vast mountains, or brosd rivers, 01 wide deserts. Interrupt the tide of humai transit on them. No engineering difficultly there have to be surmounted. Oar skips plos the watery plain eastward or westward witt like facility. There is no natural barrier be tweea us sad either people. The natural re suit of this geographical position is, that oui friendly relations are becoming equally as im portant to Japan as they are to England. Out of the duties of our position is to bring the twe oceans, which are the scenes of great counter rial developements, into easy communicatioi with each other. We have built the Paaami railway; we are striving to open routei across the isthmus of Chiriqul, Nicaragua and Tehuan tepee; we are building telegraphs and railroads across the continent; and we are pre paring in a thousand ways to unite the traffic of the Atlantic and Pacific. As these new bonds develops themselves the geographical fact of onr central position in the world will beoome more and more practtoallj evident If the Prince of Wales would hasten his visit a few weeks, or the Japanese ambassador! were to delay their departure from among ui for a short time, they might meet and shake hands in New York or Washington, as the central and neutral ground between them. As if is, there is plenty of matter fbr thought in them two visits. It shows the growing desire ol both Europeans and Asiatic** to know us bet ter tod to b? Moods with us. The day |a not far disUot when the English end French Minis ten at Washington will hob-nob with tbi Chinese and Japanese ambassadors there, sac the diploasatie circles of the United States wll be the true cosmopolitan circles of the world. Thi DasnvsnoN or the J aj-anemic Embassy.? It has been decided to convey the Japaaew Embassy direct to Washington, Instead of land log them In New York, it being considers more fitting, in view of the Importance of thei visit, that they should be first presented to th President before visiting say other part of thi country.

They preferred to accelerate it, and the party has hsw been split into hostile factions, more WMf opposed to each other than to the black republicans themselves. The public is, of course, intonated in these quarrels of the politicians only so far ss thsy bear upon the Presidential election. Thirtysix years ago the democratic (then oalied republican) party was placed in a pssiUenrtssi! iar to that which it occupies now. Mr. Jefferson, who may be fairly oonaidered the fsiar of the democratic party, (although some of ( his children have strayed wonderfully from the paths marked out by Mas,) i left a powerful organization to his saooeoi son, who carried on the government quieti ly enough till 1824. Between the Revolutionary . epoch, however, and the election which resalt ed in the elevation of John Quiacy Adams to l the Presidency, great changes had taken plane? i the Infant republic bad extended its torrltscy r and quadrupled its population. The United i States had taken the position of a first class - Power. The public men of the day were called - upon to handle great questions of trade, fiaaaoe, r the currency and public credit. They attempt ed to deal with these subjects without regard > to the public feeling about them, and to govern > the country with the old party machine, which - wit quite unequal to the work, and waa wmsah , i ed without ceremony. In 1823 the busineat of i the party waa transacted in Congreaaioaal caai cut, and in tbia way Mr. Clay, Mr. Crawford 1 and Mr. Adams were nominated for the Preail dency. The name of General Jackson had been suggested by the Legislature of Tennessee, and i the Hero of the Hermitage ran as the people's r candidate, in opposition to the caucus system, I which had beoosse odious to the masses, en ael count of the highhanded and despotic ekaraeter of its operations. The struggle was fbr t men rather than measures, although i Mr. Adams was regarded aa the reprei tentative of the opinion of the aoa-oiarei holding interest upon the Missouri qaoo tion. The popular voice selected Gen. Jaokt son aa the man for the times, and he received i the larger number of Electoral votes. The r candidates were ail republicans; the federaHot party waa in Us grave, and the election faulted I in the breaking up of the democracy as wsM. The vote stood:? l For Popular Vote.

The party waa org*nisei with certain distinctive principles and opinion* upon to* questions of the tariff, ths bank and internal Improvement*, and overthrew their opponent* until 184*, when there was another grand popular revolution. The National Convention system / took the place of the Congressional caucaa, and served for a time.
