The Wiais of Tiaxv York. Committees of Conference, representing the two sections of the Whigs of New York, met at Albany, a few days ago, and after full consultation, united in making out a call for a Stale Convention, to be held at Syracuse, on the lltli of September next, which was mutually signed by the several committees. The call endorses the administration of Pres ident Fillmore, and acquiesces in the adjust- --,. r 1.- ,i:c;..n:, .... at ii. aiifl the South, through the recent compro- 1 rn.se measures of Congress. Gar Candidates. Our ticket for 'Judges of the Supreme Court, sys the Lancaster Union, is a noble one. In point of legal learning, professional repV Lit ion, and high character, it cannot be ex j celled. It is a mighty ticket, and " can't be beat.." Wm. M. Meredith lias stood in the front rank of his profession for many years, ,1 . t.l 1 .. .1 . r. . and, as General Taylor's Secretary of the Treasury, acquired a national reputation as a Statesman. Richard Coulter, and Ge"o.

Judge Coulter is a favorite in the West, and will add to the entire Whig vote, thousands of "Dem- ory popular man at hoine. Joshua W. Com ly, of ifonlour, is one of the ablest lawyers f in the State, and a man of the highest char acter in ever' respect. At home (Danville) and in the whole northern portion of the State, his popularity is unbounded; and he will mrry everything before him. The same may Le said of Judge Jessup, our other candidate, and who was appointed by Gov. Johnston. President Judge of the Susquehanna District' . r i. . - c resiues in iuoiiirose, in sain county. lie is an able jurist and a gentleman of the high est character and standing. He will receive u ircmendous vote in the northern counties. Arc the VItig Eleady? In a late number of thc " Pennsylvania 'Jlt graph we find the ahove question pro pounded accompanied with the following reflections on the momentous interest that is involved in our action : "The day of election approaches. In about tuo months we shall be called upon to deposit ur vote for Governor, Judges of the Supreme Court, &c. Are the Whigs making ready to discharge this duty, with the requisite zeal and unanimity Are thny aware that victo ry or defeat depends upon their efforts A full vote is always a Whig victory, while a failure to poll thc entire Whig vote is gener ally, if not always, attended with defeat The Whigs, as a party, are generally hard to stir out, mostly from the cause that, being ko often defeated by their own indolence, they think it of little use to try. But let them look at facts and dispel this delusion. Whenever the Vv'iiigs have made an effort, and come out in their strength in tins State, they have achieved a victory, and shown that they are a majority of the voters of this State. To the lukewarm and indolent we therefore say stir yourselves, and secure the prize of victo ry as you did in 1848, by a bold and trium phant effort' ' fPoist!alioH. The population of the whole earth amounts to 1000 millions. Then reckoning a genera tion of 'S3 years, in that space of time a thous sand millions Biust die throughout the world.

The reports from the various grain-growing-parts of the Union, indicate that the wheat crops of the pres-ent year will be the heaviest ever gathered.

The Spread'Eagle, Delaw-areTcounty,nt which the Locofoco meeting Was held on the third inst., is situated a few hundred yards from the Philadelphia and Columbia Rail road. Various means were used to secure a laro-e attendance. The West Chester Regis- O ter mentions that "the Canal Commissioners did their part, and that the fare from Phila delphia city and back (thirty-four miles) was reduced from one dollar TO TWENTY FIVE CENTS." We.would like to under stand this. What law authorizes the Canal Commissioners to reduce the tolls on the pub lic works seventy-five per cent., for the ac- mmodn.tion of their nolitical friends The change was doubtless made for a political , ... , purpose, and ocyona question uecreasea ine receipts of the State. By what authority was this done, or was it done as some other of the Canal Commissioners' acts, without law and asrainst law 1 And after this question is answered, we ask attention to -this fact: that as far as we can learn the Canal Commissioners have not had one meeting for the transaction of business for the last two months ! Two of the Board are out in the State electioneering, and the third is spending his time leisurely at Cape May. Now who ordered- the fare to be lowered in the above easel Did the Canal Commission ers order it! If so, where and when did they meet! If they did not, was this reduction an act of usurpation by the Clerk of the Board or some subordinate? The Clerk draws large sums of money from the Treasury upon his own estimates and without consultation with the Commissioners themselves, and thus a single man the mere creature of the men with whom the people confided the trust of managing the public works exercises a pow er which he has no right to exercise that of almost absolute control of the entire fund appropriated by the Legislature to canal pur poses ! This is an important matter. It is one link in thc Sreat chai" of Gvience we have Prduced to show that REFORM IS NECESSARY, and that the first step towards il is to keeP from officc and Power the men and Part-V who th"s grossly and scandalously ! disregard their duties.
