The balance of trade is all In oar favor. All that we want amoug ourselves is a return of confidence People are at present frightened at shadows. Let the who have drawn their money out of banks put it back 'opsin; it will be much safer there than in old stockings. Economy isal- ways wise, but there is no reaaon why people should be afraid to boy- what they actually want. Trade will soon flow, iu its usual t'hannsls if people will turn deaf ear to the alarmists.

Xo dnty tWvolviur tbe Kepubllcans iu this City more importaut than that of atteudiug the primary ineetings which will be held this evening. It is easouLial that all the member of the several associations shall take part in electing delegates to tho various nominating convtantiona, ia order that the party may be truly rvpreaented and proper candidates selected fur the Sicca to filled. Much, if not everything, in the Metropolis dermis upon the charac ter of our Boutnatious. There Ia very general disaffection ia the Tammany ranks, and, if we get candidate who are entirely beyond re-prooch, the' way is more jcn to succea than ever before It is so easy to avoid mistakes in this matter that any hich may be committed will be unpardonab). Ws hope, therefore, that the duty of to-night will re nits from aQ Bepablicans the attention it Ws bop also that measures will be takun in every Assembly District to secure a full registration of RepublicanJ on Friday and Saturday next, which are the last days allowed by law.

Without voters we cannot hop to win, and without registration cannot hare oters. Washington facials could not be better agaged just now than in seeing what re-duction can be mad ia th estimate for th appropriations for 'next year. Ths appropriations for 2374 were 118,000,000 in as of tho fVir 187X tbe smbition for reduction should not be limited to this amount- have got into a habit, as a "nation, of spending utoaey too freely, ud it is it was corrected. Whatever, may be necessary to the proper administration of affair should be but not a penny more. In such matters as public printing our outlay must be largely reduced.

Tlie ejpctiw a of Congress can be cut down without detriment to the public service. Millions have in past years been wasted in iniprov-ing creeks and rivulets, and in building public edifice where they are not needed. These expenses, however, depend upon action of Congress, and that body must be held to account for any further waste in this direction. It is the opinion of our corrospondbnt Knickerbocker," that by thc 1st of November there will be from thirty millions to thirty-five millions of dollars in gold afloat in this market, without any regard to private hoard, and that the price cannot be kept np. This is a piwpoct which deserve the most careful consideration of the Government.

It is to the lasaegree important that whatever gold may come to this country in couboquence of the present condition of our foreign trade, shall be made a part of our circulating medium. Whatever the Government can do should be done to etint-ulate moderate imports, get back all the coin we can and let no more go out. in order that when we resume we may btay resumed." A greatly-needed work has been done in the codification of the laws of the United States, which are reported to be now ready for Gubndsoion to Congress at the next session. This great task has been accomplished under the supervision of a joint commit too of Congress, embracing Senators Conklixo and Carpextek, Judge Polaxi, and other litwj-ers of equal ability. There, is reason to believe that it has been well done, and that great public convenience will result from their labors is seen in the fact that the laws have been condensed into fifteen hundred pages.

This, it is true, is an immense quantity of law, but when arranged so that any provision can bo found without difficulty, it will be possible to know what ia tho Law. This has not heretofore always been the Lawrence County appears as the rival of Oneida in high-priced cattle, five shorthorns having been sold at Morley, in that county, for This seems somewhat paltry after the $40,000 cow of the Mills, but the price is large enough when taken in connection ith tho vast turns obtained at the Campbell sale to be suggestive of a source of wealth in cur State not generally suspected. It is noteworthy that these cattle, like the most valuable of the Campbell herd, were purchased for shipment to England. New-York farmers hardly need to be reminded pf the possibilities suggested by such facts as these. It is evident that pure short-horns for sale ore more plentiful id our State than they fro iu the country from which the breed originally come.

The total value cf live stock on farms in New-York ia 1S70 was 12, which was an amount greatly in excess of that of auy other State. If the incentive now prcsButed to breed thorough-breds has the proper cfi'ect, our wealth in this form can be greatly increased. REPUBLICAN The time is drawing near when our citizens will be called upon onco more to decide between the two parties which aspire to govern the State. The same issue has been presented so often, and of lato has been settled so uniformly in the came way, thrt. many persons not actively engaged iu politics have grown almost tired of hearing nbout it.

Nevertheless, it will not do to get tired of it. The questions now before the people tro net so exciting as they were last year, bet they rue sufficiently imperttut to demand tho serious attention of all respectable citizens. The Democrats are naturally very engor to regain control of the State. They maintained it for several years by a series election frauds which will be ever memorable in the history of the country, and they used it only as a means of plundering the puorde. It may be said with perfect truth, and without any political rancor, that the Democratic Party had justly forfeited all claim to the confidence and reopeci of the people.

It had betrayed every trust committed to It. It hod rendered elections a mockery had driven justice out of the City had filled every fllco with the drega of jthe community had robbed the community to an extent never before known in any nation. It was driven from powci amid the execration of the whole people, and no one has Lad the audacity to question the justice of the verdict. What has it done siftce to justify the people in giving it a lea.e of life As a national it distinguished itself lost year by surrendering all its principles, and taking as its candidate a man who liad always beon its foe, but who was weak enough "at lost to allow himself to be used as a In State affairs (he Democrats Lave confined themselves to th effort of defeating good government, and of embarrassing the honest men whom the Republicans Lad elected. There has been no reform in the Democrat ie ranks the party was too far gone to admit of that.

The old school of Democrats are never heard of in the councils of the party. hear great deal of the three Johns oiix Fox, Jobs Kelly, and CHI'S Moiuusset but never of the respectable men who once were-proiniue nt in th Democratic organization, and who still call themselves Democrats, while dVtesting the irinciple of the party and dospuin it leaders. In the place of Bos Tweed, wo have Joiix Morsisskt. Some of the ablest men in the party Lav been insulted and driven oil. Even Uelmuxt not that we speak of him as an able man seems to have had enough of Lis lends, and Mr.

TlUDEN a railway lawyer," as the World says is very glad to be absent from the field. There is nothing whatever in the policy or leaders wf the party to attract the sympathie of any decent man, no matter how deeply he may be ppooed to the party which at present is in poaaeaaion of power. All this is a matter of fact, not of opinion everybody knows it to be true. Indeed, so convinced is the, community of the jus-tic of this representation of the state of parties that many of them fancy there is no need to nk aay exertions to defeat th IVtnoersts. In that delusion eoni onr onlr durerst the present moment.

Th Democrats are full of the hope of snatching a victory through the negligenee of the Republicans. Over-confidence La lost many a good cause, and it will lead to our defeat this vear unless the Republicans snae on, and determine to go to wok with their old real. They have plenty to wor Tor. me 8tate ticket guarantees a perfectly honest nnl eftirieut Government. The Demo crats have pnt np for office a mi who' has conducted the affairs' of his department so carelessly that great em bezzlements were carried on under his very eyes without detection.

In the City they propose to give ns politicians for judges. If they get possession of the Legislature, we shall see a revival of those railroad job which have already inflicted so much lots and inconvenience upon the people, and the work of good government will' receive a fa tal blow. Tho Republican Legislatures have not always been up to the proper standard, but at least we are always aiming at that standard, and aie making gradnaT progress toward it. The trade of bribing is becoming more and more disreputable, and the men who receive bribes know what their fate will be when they are To lose the Legislature this year is to give the Demo crats a United States Senator. If they crowed over their fancied victory in Ohio, what onld they do should they by any chance carry the great State of New-York.

We earnestly appeal to our friends to shake off their apathy and thus avert the disasters which tho return of tho Democrats to power would inevitably entail upon us. Our com mon school system is in jeopardy we have to work for It was very nearly de stroyed under the Tweed rule it would "ngt fare any better under John Moerissey. Our canal management involves interests of great magnitude, and We cannot afford to. hand it over to a corrupt faction. We have a Governor who is a devoted servant of the public, and who will lend himself to no dishonest scheme or bargain.

It is not desirable to fasten a Democratic Legislature upon his back. The motives which we have for working hard are sufficiently numerous to stimulate us all, when they are properly considered. We trust there will be no more procrastination or indifference. regis- tration has been much neglected, and there are only two more days this week in which we can make up for lost time. Let no man neglect to register his name on Friday or Saturday next.

This is the first and most pressing duty which lies before us. If it is not performed our tax-payers need not be surprised when thoy find the evil days of Tammany revived, and the old gang of free booters let looso upon the City and State. OUR CANALS IN THE ELECTION. No question which can be submitted to the people of Xtw-York is more important at the present rune than the management of the canal of the State. This issue, upon which tho prosperity of the Stato and City depends, is directly before the eople for decision at the ensuing election.

The State officials to be chosen constitute a majority of the Canal Board, who will have the immediate control of the canals. It is surely not a matter of small moment at this crisis that this control shall be wise, honest, economical, but yet marked by liberality in. expenditure fox improvements which are imperatively demanded to maintain our commercial supremacy: In no election for many years have our canals been so directly in issue as now, and there was never a time when an immediate and proper decision was of snch vital consequence to the State. This question alone should call out a full vote, and we do not doubt that it will if the matter is fairly and fully presented to tho people, There can bo but one dec Lion when all the facts aro impartially considered. It is notorious that the canals have bee a niisinansiged whenever they Lave been in Democratic Tho revenues Lave been stolen or squandered, and the canals been allowed to get out of repair.

On the other hand, the Kepublicona have honestly applied the revenues, and have kept our main cauals in good navigable condition. The positions taken by the two parties iu reference to this question are as wide as their practice. The Republican State Convention at Utica last month aaul That it ia essential jo the proapcrity of the State of New.Tork, and especially of her commcruid metropolis, that all lines of communication with the producing States of -the West and the South, whether by land or water, should be available for tho purpose of twlntersaDted and adequate transportation at minimum rates that the subject should be considered in a broad and statesmanlike spirit, commensurate with its great importance, and that we hold it to be th paramount duty of th ineominz Legislature to devise means whereby the cereals of the country may find their way with sure dispatch to the sea board, and these to the markets of the world that especially considering th necessity of wise action to prevent the diversion of trade, th main canals of thia Btat should be adapted to ateaia navigation, and by the landing of th debts in long Louds, at a lower rat of iutere-st, shoul.l be made as free to the commerce of the-nation aa their eoioml-cal maintenance, without taxing the people, will pen niit. "We hold, aUo, that Congress shoold pot forth all the power it may wisely exert within th limits of the Constitution, and recommend to the consideration of Congress the natural advantage and the Just claims of the great channels which run through th State." A week later the Democratic State Convention did not mention this most important of all Stato issues, until reaching' the last clause of their lost resolution. Then they only gave it these four lines That the IV-mocratio Parry having inaugurated tie system of low tolls end cheap transportation, against th violent opposition of the Kepublicaa lwty, read mis th podcy at this time.

Of course, the Democrats could not make this brief reference ithout mLsrepresenting facts; but it is not worthwhile to waste time in refuting this slander upon the "Republican Tarty. It ia, far more profitable to call public attention to th position of the two parties on this issue. The Democrats promise to do what they have done, and we all know that all they have done ha been to use the canals as political machines for th benefit of Democracy. They have never given th least evidence that they realise that upon the proper management of our canals, in the interest of commerce only, depends th greatuea of our Stat. They do not seem to know that our water line of communication with the West must be mad commensurate with present wants or we shall lose our trade.

Th Eepuhlicans, On the other fully appreciate the gravity of our present situation, and are determined to use all possible measa to avert ths disaster impending over us. Under Kepubliean management our canal are to be so improved that the cereals of the country shall continn to seek tho ae by way of the Hudson River, instead of being diverted by Canadian' enterprise to th St. Lawrence. Tbe Bepub-lican Party has already shown the sincerity of its devotion, to low tolls in the adoption by the last Legislature of the resolution to fund the canal debt. It ia certain, therefore, that tmder the Republican policy the canals: will be practically free to the commerce of the nation, without being a burden upon the people.

The declarations of the State Convention having been so direct and positive on thia subject, it will be impossible for a Republican legislature to avoid taking action in accordance with them.1 There will doubt-leas be some difference in regard to the particular remedy to be applied, but it is certain that something will be done to immediately arrest the tendency of trade to pas by our State into the St. Lawrence, It may reasonably be assumed that the Erie Canal will, first of alL be mode available to it utmost capacity, for that is the only practical thing which can be done. Long before we could construct any one of the ship canals which have been proposed, our trade would leave us, and. onoe gone, it could never be regained. Bnt we can keep it by simply improving tbe Erie CanaL By completing the system of double locks much will be gained.

By the introduction of improved lock-gate much lock space can be saved, and, of coarse, the capacity of the canal will be increased to tbe same extent. These, with some other equally well-known improve ments, are feasible, and can be easily and quickly made. They are comparatively inexpensive, and will fully accomplish the desired object of enabling ns to retain our trade while we are providing other means to meet the needs of the future. Such improvements as these are r.jsolutely required by the State, and are fully prom ised by the Kepubliean platform. There is not the slightest donlSt they will be afforded by a Republican Legislature.

There is no reason to believe they will be accorded by the Democrats. Iff would be well for the Republican Con ventious nominating Senators and Assemblymen, especially in this City, to pass resolu tions of instruction upon this question. If it does no other good, such a proceeding would tend to concentrate publio attention upon a matter of vital importance, and give to the election an interest that is greatly needed. I RISK IMMIGR ANTS IN CITIES. If the Convention of Irishmen which has been in acesion at St.

Louis for some days past had confined itself to a consideration of the best means for improving the condi tion of Irish immigrants, instead of ram bling into the discussion of obnoxious sub jects, the most feasible of the plans sug gested would stand a very much better chance of being carried out. As it is. how ever, we fear that the main question is likely to be forgotten in the confusion of resolutions and fustian speeches. The overcrowd ing in the tenement-houses of the cities has resulted, as is well known, from the inability of Irish immigrants, through poverty, to go westward immediately after lauding. It would be perfectly safe to say that more than two-thirds of all those who have eome here from Ireland during the past thirty years were born either on forms or in rural villages.

Previous to emigration most of them had probably never been half a dozen times to a city. If, therefore, these people had had an opportunity to decide between city and country life, very few of them would have declared in favor of the former. In the absence of any benevolent scheme for urn inning them transportation, they were compelled to accept the only alternative. The process of settlement has always been rapid. A young Irishman no.

sooner touches, the Ioint of destination, and procures employment, than ho begins to think of the folk at home. The first money earned by him is sent to pay the passage of a brother or sis- ter. Next to his place of birth, he loves most the scene of his first struggles for existence. Thus it is that he is loth to leave it, no matter how fair tLe promises for pecuniary gain may be elsewhere. When his wife and children ultimately join him, and be ia compelled to exchange the cheerful lodging for the tumble-down shanty or dingy tenement, he cannot go westward, no matter how' eagerly he may desire to do so.

There are hundreds of Irish laborers living in this City to-day who have had just such an experience, and who would, if they could see the way clearly, gladly agree to remove to farming districts. It is tdmost impossible to provide them all with work durinr the Summer months, much less to do it in Winter, and, as a consequence, the publio charitable institutions are kept full, and the benevolent societies have more than they can do to provide for the necessities of tbose-who do their utmost to exist from one year's end to another without breaking up their wretched homes and becoming paupers. The Irish Convention at St. Louis began its labors with a most encouraging discussion of how best to put a stop to overcrowding and its attendant evils iu large cities. It was proposed to establish an independent immigrant society, with bead-quarters in New-York, and branches judiciously distributed throughout the country, for the purpose of the poorer immigrants, and sending them, in charge of its officer to such States a ahall offer the Vreatest inducements for settlers.

It wa also proposed, to provide the, means for building temporary houses for the proteges of the society, and, iu short, pat them in the way to become prosperous formers. To accomplish a work of this magnitude would, of course, require a liberal expenditure. Th society, according to the plan for It establishment, was to procure funds by popular subscription, the Irish element being expected to contribute generously. Now, we would have no doubt whatever as to th success of a scheme of this kind if it were started by any other nationality. The German would carry it to a snceess, for they wold sure to organ- lie it upon a basis that would make it an object of interest to all classes.

The Irish Con vention would confine the benefits of th project to Roman Catholic. It has not said this in so many words, bat It ha led us to believe as much from the character of the resolations and lb debate which ibl-lowed the introduction of the question. Under the circumstances, it could scarcely bop to gain th sympathy and contzibu- tion of Protestants, however much the JJJJJllL-lsaasssisaasss 1 saww-awai latter should wish to see an end put to tbe overcToWdimf in large cities. It la to regretted that the Convention could not have considered tbe scheme from a purely benevolent standpoint, without jumbling tt up with the Sovereign Roman persecution in The Bible in the public schools, and other topic with which it could Lave no possible connection. The idea in itself is an excellent one, and if carried out in a proper spirit-as we hope to see it some day wonld be attended with benefit not only to the Irish immigrant, but to the people of the whole country.

A STUDY OP STYLE! Last Summer a young newspaper writer of Louisville, Kyn wrote some letters from England, with the praiseworthy purpose of showing why the London Time wa a dead failure. Those, who have eome across these letters may have gathered from them that the home of the best style of If not in the setting sun, is at least as far west as Louisville. The "vigor ox the young writer, the incisivene of bis criti cisms, the "dash and sparkle of his style, the "brilliancy of bis imagination, and the wealth" of hi humor hare been so frequently pointed out, during the dry season for topics in. the rural press, that it is not neoesfcaryto more than allude to them here. They are qualities which might well Induce the devotee of modern newspapers to think that the writer's own paper was an example of all that could be desired in its way.

From this opinion, however, we, with much diffij dence, dissent. That kind of journalism which the ambitious critic of Louisville rep resents has, as we believe, its headquarters in Cincinnati, which, let us say thankfully, is some hundred miles or so nearer our own neglected city. It ia in Cincinnati that the art of personal journalism is carried to the highest point of perfection. Some of the rival newspapers of that -city read like series of detached biographical essays, In fragments, devoted to the weakness and wickedness of the respective editors of tho other journals. In this field all that the Louisville, writer could not find In the London Jtstev is to be had in unlimited quantities, and of a quality of which New-York readers can form but i vague conception.

The "snap," the "point," the "vim, the "play of humor," and the spice of minute personality which we fre quently see held up as the features lacking in the drowsily dignified. Journal, of the East, are never missing from the gentle missives which Cincinnati editors dispatch each morning to greet the eager eyes of their ex asperated and exasperating rivals. Perhaps au Eastern reader might fail to find this sort of thing invariably interesting. He might receive tbe impression that the- three or four men and their employes who are con tinually engaged in the manufacture of these endless personalities were the only one who would ever care to read them. We do not know about that.

We suppose that the newspapers must find their account in it, or they would not keep it up with snch painful fidelity. They must, at least, feel that they can afford it. For the edification of our readers, and to justify our opinion that the iconoclast of Louisville cannot fairly be placed at the head of his profession, we cull a few passages from a recent number of a Cincin nati paper. We are confident that nothing more unapproachable by the London Time has ever been produced even in Louisville. It is, of course, addressed to the rival editor This gent'eman is playfully introduced as the principal consumer of phosphorus in his own office.

A here is more of this sort of thing. The motives of the miserable being who haa provoked the indignation of our writer are laid bare.

'Among them are an inflammation of personal malice." and the gangrene of an illegitimate individual interest, and so on through a lively column or more. We confidently invite comparison of these specimens of "style" with anything Louisville can produce. We have no hesitation in saying that they cannot be equaled, exoent bv other extract from the same In New-York we have the complimentary phase of modern newspaper writing the product of the feelings, also, but of the more effusive kind. We can beat even Cincinnati in gush. In that line would back the Professor against th field.

We may, look for aaaay millions more before there even a loll ia th move ment. England haa aot yet bought any consid erable part of th grain and cotton which are absolutely aeedfal to her, and so long as she eontinue her purchases she mast par us in hard cash; So great Is th want, and so large the competition for its supply, that even tbe steamers are called upon to the utmost 'of their freight Those of th English.

"French, and German lines went out on Saturday heavily laoen, and th for the present week have fall cargoes engaged. The small demand for bills adds vain to every moment that can be saved in getting the coin returns for this Import. Bank of England has raised its rat of interest to seven per cent, but that is no proof of any unwillingness her part to send coin to the United States, but only of her Intention to keep up her own strength under the withdrawal of coin for shipment. The raising of th rat of interest serve th donbl purpo of check ing trad and of attracting mosey to th bank vaults. Jast so soon as th transfer of money from the other financial centres of Europe Paris, Frankfort, Vienna, Amsterdam becomes profitable, coin will flow from them to England, to take advantage of the advanced premium.

Were thia not the ease, th elasticity of the circulating medium of England itself would be fully equal to the strain upoa it. It would be stranxe indeed if this wealthy nation, which has taken th greater part of the large sum specie shipped by us daring past years, cannot now spare us even a small percentage of that snm without general distress. The returns of tbe Treasury Department pub lished Saturday last, give the net amount of exported during the 'fiscal year ending Jon 30, 1873, a bringing up th net outgo of specie- nine the close of the war. from July, 1SC6, to July, 1873, to $409,238,047. So far from the Bank of England looking witk regret upon the return or specie to this country, there is every reason to believe that the directors of this institution would the first to hail with Joy th resumption of specl payments by th United State.

Uuch mterest-ed as the foreign bankers and gold brokers may be in the fl actuation of values which give them such chances of rapid and. larg profits, th great banks themselves know-well that their true interest is in steady markets and even money rate. Surely it cannot be for their interest that the United States should remain shut out from the family of specie-paying nations on day longer than can be avoided. Tbe Saturday SetUw, iu its number of Oct. 4, clearly hints at this feeling in saying Th causes of tbe money difficulties ar clearly understood England, and it will be a matter for regret if the Government of the United Stats has resorted to any empirical attempt to relieve the press are.

Bat for th existence of an in- inconvertible paper currency, the arrival of gold from Europe would probably soon bare enabled the banks to meet their liabilities." Tbe view taken by one of your neighbors of Printing-house square in saying that the shipment of a few more millions of gold from England to the United States is certain to be dis astrous to both' conn tries." ia not a correct view, and the result will so prove. There is little doubt that but for tbe unwise and persistent policy of the Treasury Depart ment in upholding the gold market, specie would be now floating in the country on a par with greenbacks, and the mucb-talked-of redeema-bility and convertibility' be to-day a practical fact. A simple comparison of th Trnury balancM at the beginning and at the do of th money panie win show how for the policy of stopping sate ana noarumg receipts nas oeen cameo.

The balance of tredd could not lucned against us, because the banks, forced to preparv themselves for the day when the Treasury itSeU would resume, would so stop discounts as to cheek imports. It is a source of regret that thlt withdrawal of currency should not of ths national bank notes but a moment's redaction will.

show how cumbrous such a wlthdnawa would be, and how impossible to distribute the gradual redaction equally among the banks, There is no doubt that the; people hav 16s', their confidence in tbe national bank issue out prefer th greenback.

It will be a simp's measure when a large pari of th greenback issue has been taken and fU( remainder mad convertible into coin at th Sab-Treaeuries, to call in th whole bank oir oulation, and pay off the United States bonds be which it is based by a new issue of th convert-fble greenback. It is needless here to notice the effect that snch a withdrawal of bonds Would have upon our national credit. There would be a saving of fifteen to twenty millions a year in interest, and the debt itself would be not much.

in excess ef fifteen hundred million- a sum which would be bold beyond the contingencies of. money markets, and eagerly sought for permanent holding both at howe and abroad. Our circulating medium, consisting oi seven hundred millions, half greenbacks and hall oin, would atait th best qualities of the famed systems of France and Fn gland en amount of coin, as in TTrance, as large or larger than tbe iasu of paper aa issue of paper, aa in England, so limited that it cannot fall below the par pi coin; in addition, the American principle of -a reserve in coin in the Treasury equal to twenty or twenty-five per cent of the greenback issue, Th prod not of. eoin in the country would yearly supply quit as much additional circu latin medium as the country would, require, and render it yearly better and stronger. We have contributed auv-e th beginning of ths Government more than nine hundred mil lions of specie to the world' store.
