Statistics or Foreign Emigration. A vain a lie report on British Emigration has jn*>t appeared, Itcontainssome curious It is stated that from the close of tho Peninsular war- to the end of 1855, a period of forty ono years, no less than 4,293,705 persons left the United Kingdom, and of that number 11.021,009 emigrated during the last nine years.— The largest emigration in any one year was 1852, when U amounted to S68.754; bnt ihe last year the emigrants amounted only to 176,807. - The larger proportion; of emigrants was from Ireland; the number of Irish who emigrated in 1851 hav- ; mg been 254,537. The estimated emigration from Ireland: between 1841 and 1854, was not less than 200,000. It is stated that the sums of money .remitted to Ireland from : the American emigrants since 1848, amounted to £8,393,000, and during the last thico years, they exceeded three millions and o half.' There ha?, of late years, been an increased tendency to emigrate to the United States in preference to,.the North American colonics, which were most resorted to prior to 1835. 'The report includes in its notice, tho emigrants who returned to Great Britain last year. The numbers were from—America, 11,402; from Australia, 4,510. The greater wealth'of tho latter, compared to the returning emigrants from America, is inferred from’ the proportion of steerage to cabin passengers,. Of those arriving from- Australia. ICI per cent were cabin passengers; while those from America, there was only ,14 per cent. , From the firstof the present year up to thclSih of June, ;47,531-foreign emigrants at the port of New York, of whom 15.580 were Germans; and 14,522 Irish. During ‘ho first six mouths of last year, the arrivals at that port were 07,476.— Every month of the present year shows a decrease in the number of arrivals, as compared witblast year excepting March. It will be observed that the prepondercncc of Germans continues,. We learn Journal of Commerce, that rather more than the usual proportion of emigrants arc settling in the Eastern States, and that a portion of the German immigration has been diverted from New York during the last few months by the (.’{forts made to form settlements in Texas, a considerable number have sailed direct from Europe to that part of (he country.

As it is getting time to have a candi■late for Congress in the field-in opposition 1 to tfamea: Ilnghca, .the public mind naturally turns to our present very able and efficient JleprcseoUtivc, George G. Dunn, of Lawrence county, as the man, above all others, to carry the Titl'd Congressional district against the apologist of the present corrupt and inefficient administration. No man possesses half the elements of strength for tho campaign as Mr. Dunn, tic is undoubtedly the ablest Statesman and Orator within the. boundfc of (ho State of‘Indiana. For deep and pure thought; as well as impassioned eloquentx*, the speeches of Mr. ptmu ajre unsurpassed llyihe best efforts of Henry Clay.

: General Jackson', the old hero of the Hermitage, for many years previous to hi$ death, had lust alt confidence in James Bik’hanan. ,Tho following extract -of a letter .written by Gen. Jackson in 1845, the original of. which is now in possession of the edjtor of tho Nashville ifanner,' is proof that the old hero regatded him as one who '‘lacked moral , courage” to do right,,amt that he made propositions to Gen. Jackson which involved the grossest cornip|ion, and which tho General **ro-' pelted with that lioncst indignation he thought it drserved;” . IIeemitace,Teb; 28, 1845.

' Although Mr. Datm was opposed ‘ to the repeuT of-the Missouri Compromise, and now earnestly desires its restoration, yet He is a National man, in the most extended meaniug'of thaUmn, lie is opposed to the course of the present admin-, iftration in regard.to tho outrages committed in Kansas,' ami what righ-think-ing man is mot? Why, there is hardly, a sensible man in the whole country who doesj not condemn the. outrages eiipctad by;the.tools of! tic Pierce administration in Kansas—Atchison, Whitfield, St ringfellow, dt Co/; ; , ;

Vo u r observations with regard to M r. BuchanaA arc correct.: He showed a want of moral couraf/e in the affair of the intrigue of Adams and Clay—did not do mir justice in the, expose ho then made, Hiid.I uni sure about that .time did believe there was a perfect between Adams and Clay about the Presidency and the Secretary.of State. This I am' mug of. _ Bui whether he viewed that then; whs any corruption in the case or notj 1 know not, but one thing ! do know, that he wished me to combat tlu-m with their own s weapons—/that was to let my friends say, that if I was elected I would ipako Mr. Clay Secretary of State, This to me appeared gross corrupt ion, and I repelled it with that honest indignation as I thought it deserved.

■Wo sPCfii stated that Mr. l)unn : doe» not desire a re-uominalion; and it is welt known that lie is not seeking a re-election; yet, from pur knowledge of the man, we a»e confident lie will comply with the wishes of bis friends., : .'We should like,to see Mr. Dunn nm entirely on his own merits, without the formality of a Convention; and as for a platform, lib is platform enough form.

Teray, Wednesday, July .9,1856.

JirMr. Stockton's letter accepting a nomination for the Presidency has been published, ft is u long, rambling.and discursive document.. He says lie accepts the ' nomination "as an old fashioned American," Vwho will not permit the Union . to slide if his' body can prevent it." He.also accepts as an American Democrat, and as’ a compliment to .his inflexible American, principles, with' tbe express understanding that if-the American party can be united on Mr. Fillmore on the platform. Mr. Stockton occupies, he may bo at liberty to .withdraw. He then -proceeds to enlarge upon his principles. He says he believed it to be tbe duty of the country to condemn in the most emphatic manner the repeal of .lha Missouri Com promise,: and the opportunity, to do this has peen puf in jeopardy through tho intrigues of designing men. "for the p impose. v as : openly avowed in rnc itepnblican >convention, of concilia* ring the foreign vote." ' He says the patriotic efforts of tho American party have leca divided, and a large part of the people of the frccStatcshavc been iu veiled upon a dangerous platform, which . mdimgers; the peace of the Union. . .He -ays that a sort ofJnfatnation to tmve seized Southern ' politicians, and he isks if the South would acquiesce* in an interpretation of the constitution, by the majority, which drives back slavery to the limits of 1787, and he believes that the North woulu nol submit to. tbe extension of slavery beyond \ 36 30. He *ays that ho, and ;lns party.insist upon standing by the Union, and insisting upon the line of the Missouri compromise as the impassable barrier of slavery.

AMERICAN STATE CONVENTION. V We look forward, to the Convention of the IGth of July, as one of the most impbitant meetings ever held in the State. It may not be as large as some others, and there will not be, probably, us much noise and confusion as is iomeliiiics manifested nt similar gatherings. It will be a Convention of the National men of Indiana—those who love their country more than they do mere parly success, or political advancement; and wo trust their action will bo unanimous and deliberative. They, will have-an important duty to perform—hut the path of duty will bo clear, and they cannot hesitate. Upon their action will depend, in a great measure. the future and present success of national and ; conservative principles in the State. If wo take an*ind»r** ,jL ‘nt stnml nnrtti it-- 01 right and justice, and free ourselves entirely from (he charge of sectionalism and fanaticism, wc will-soon gather around us the good and true men of all parties. For there is nodisguising the fact, that the American party h. the only truly'.National nod conservative party in the country. Wo are willing to admit that in this State, os well as a few others, side issues have been insidiously introduced -by designing men, causing dissension and dissatisfaction in our ranks; hut in future wc hope to avoid, these stumbling blocks altogether, and make the principles of the National American V&rtyparamount to every thing else. Then, and not. until then, will we be a consistent partyi entitled to the respect of good and true,men throughput the land.

Therc is a music ond a ring m Mr- Fillmuieus speech in Albany, which we lished yesterday—more in: (hu vein and spirit of old Hurry Clay, than anything we have been having for years.

Fillmore's Responses to the People.

"You Cas Turs it, Bucuanas." —We arc indebted to a gentleman of high character for the following anecdote of that veteran statesman and patriot,' Henry Clay, ami the politician, James Bachanttn: - ' '

We dovoto considerable spare ibis week to the speeches delivered by Mr.'FUImore to the people of li is native State, who greeted him all along his gouto from New York city to Buffalo. They will be read with- interest, by all, and will meet with a hearty response among the friends of the Union everywhere.

As soon as a Fillmore nnd Donolsou Electoral Ticket is formed in Indiana, there will bo a great reaction in favor of “Fillmore and the Union’’-—there will be a most terrible shaking among the dry bones of modem so-called Republicanism. The people, sf Indiana need only (b. bo informed on the subject, to cause them to “keep step to the music of the. Union.”

Since the. very beginning of [this movement an effort has been made' by managing Democrats and * few pteudo Whigs, who have declared themselves members of the Democratic party, to‘ make capital out of the movement.—' Their effort*, have signally failed. — r Wherever Whig conventions have been! held there has either been an actual expression of preference foe Milliard Fillmore, or in- one or- two instances Have omitted any expression of opinion. ; The fact is clearly established that ninetonths of tho whigs of Kentucky and we believe that, the same proportion of the Whigs oftheUhion are in favor of Mr. Fillmore. There are many reasons why I the convention did not plainly and flatly! endorse Mr.' Fillmore. The desire of a | number Of influential men who were pres-! ent, who are ardentand earnest advocates] of Mr. Fillmore's ejection, deemed it iii-j expedient that the convention should take: such action. They ainr at a re-organiza-1 lion of the Whig, party, and while they will vote for Mr. Fillmore,■ and many of* them expect to canvass their districts In ' his behalf, they'think the convention as a j convention of a district political organi-1 zation should not merge itself with 'any other party. - .
