France. There was a statement that the ambassa
dors of Prussia, Spain, and Portugal were about to
leave Turin. Victor Emmanuel was to enter Na
ples on the 28th of October. The Pope had as
sured the French minister that he had no intention
of abandoning Rome. It wm semi-officially stated
in Parls that Napoleon would preserve the policy
of , non-intervention in Italy. The Emperor of
Austria was lightening the burdens of bis Hunga

An abstract of the advices of the Persia, two
days and a half later than those furnished by the
Ad'rtatic, have been received from 42ep* Race,
which point was passed by the Persia on Satur
day. ■ Italian affairs were unchanged. The muoh
; dreaded conference of the sovereigns at Warsaw
bad adjourned. There were many rnmors of an un
reliable character in circulation relative to its de
liberations and their effect on European affairs, but
ucne of thera were worthy of credence. It was'
•add that tke principle of a European Congress had
beeaagrWd Upon. There was also a. statement
that Austrti had invoked the mediation of France
for the pbiosablo solution of the Italian question.

- Ey reference to our city ooinmna it will he scon
that a large haul of counterfeit money was m&do
last night by the police, at the honse of a person
well known in police olroles. The notes are all on
the Western Bank of this olty, and as it is not im
probable that some of them may already have been
uttered, storekeepers and others had bettor be

The Breckinridge Hunting Day.
This Dat is memorable in our country's
annals on more than one accuunt. It is the
day (of quadrennial recurrence) when the
people of the United States elect their Presi
dent and Vice President. But it deserves to
bo held in perpetual remembrance, likewise,
as the day, on which, anno Domini 1848,
Major John C. Bbeokisbidoe, of Kentucky,
•cent hauling! On this day, in that year, tho
Democracy of this great nation were en
gaged in a hard-fought contest to elect to
the first and second offices in their gift, the
veteran Lewis Oass, and the brave and accom
plished William 0. Butleb. Well do wo re
collect the campaign, for wo ourselves partici
pated in it actively. Inch by inch was it con
tested in every State of the Union. Owing
chiefly to the military halo that encircled the
name ot Gen. Zaobabt Tatlob, who was
then frosh from the victorious battle-fields of
Mexico, the Democracy was defeated.
On that memorable day, when this great po
litical struggle was to he finally decided—at
the very zenith of the issue—when the ap
peal : “To the Polls I To the Polls /” echoed
through every hill and valley—tho “gallant”
Bbeoeinbidoe, heedless ol the cry, did not
himself condescend to go to the ballet-box to
deposit his own vote! That was non-inter
vention, with a vengeance. Let the future
historian take note, too, that it was not a fish
ing excursion that took the “ gallant Major ”
abroad on election day. It was a ram-rod ho
carried, not a fishing-rod. Ho was equipped
with powder and shot, not with hook and lino.
He was pursuing squirrels and snipe, not pike
and perch, salmon and snekers. One matter
we deeply regret—the absence of details.
What kind of gnn did the Major cany 7 Was
it of the Colt or Dcringer manufacture—a
Sharpe or a “Minie? Was it single bar
relled or double 7 Did it employ flint or per
mission 7 And how much game did the Major
bag on that November day 7 What quantity
of squirrel, gray, black, and brown 7 Any ro
bins and woodcock, Major? What lack among
the ground-hogs and opossums?. And how
does the Major despatch Ms birds—sitting or
on the wing ? How nmny hounds had he
along 7 How long absent, Major 7 Did the
resnlt of tho voting become known to yon only
alter your return, or did you learn it when yet
“in the woods?” These are specifications
on which present and future generations should
'
But, badinage aside, we ckßrfxkvorj grave
apprehensions that tbe example ot the “ gal
lant Major” will exercise a most injurious
effect on his own Presidential prospects, to be
determined to.-day. Wo fear, the voters, on
whom he depends, will imitate his own evij
example, and employ this important day in
shooting birds. That will be a sufficient
apology for the Major's defeat, which his
friends may with propriety urge. Forgetful
of tho Presidential election, they will only
remember this as Tee Breckinridge Hunt
ing Dat.

Peaceable Elections*
It is a source of great satisfaction to order
loving citizens, of all parties, in Philadel
phia, that by the large number of our elec
tion districts, ample time is afforded to every
legal voter to deposit his ticket, oven if the
qualifications of those who are challenged are
carefully examined. There is but little ex- 1
case for attracting a large and excited crowd
around any of our polls, and therefore it re
quires but comparatively little attention from
the police to preserve order, and to prevent
everything approaching to a serious election
riot. In times of angry and excited political
feeling, it would be almost impossible, if so
large a number of persons voted at any one
place as to render it doubtful whether there
would be time for all to deposit their ballots,
to prevent serious outbreaks. In some of the
divisions of New York city this is said to be
the case now, and consequently apprehen
sions are entertained of disturbances there to
day. It seems, however, that she has 217
district's, and as she has never yet polled as
many votes as Philadelphia did at the recent
Gubernatorial election, there is probably only
a very few divisions which really contain an
inconveniently large voting population. The
terrible election riots at Baltimore, several
years ago, were doubtless owing, in a great
measure, to tbe fact that toolargo a number of
excited partisans were necessarily collected at
each poll, and among the measures adopted to
check them, none has been more effective
than the increase in the number of election
districts. It should be a.part of tho settled
policy of every city to promptly create new
voting places as rapidly aB the increase of
population in any quarter indicates a necessity
for them.
The Camden and Amboy Monopoly.
There is no corporation In this country
which has more frequently and offensively un
dertaken to meddle in and control politics than
the Camden and Amboy Railroad monopoly. It
has one of the most profitable lines in the
world, hut, instead of spending a fair portion
of' its immense revenues in discharging its
proper duty to the public, it appropriates
them ou tho one hand to making millionaires
of its largo stockholders and prime favorites,
and on the other to corrupting the politicians
of New Jersey and binding her people hand
and foot as its abject slaves. It is inspired
by none of the generons and proper feeling of
other leading lines, to keep pace with the
march of modern improvement, to have a safe
double track, to erect handsome and commo
dious depots, to add to the comfort and con
venience of passengers, to charge reasonable
fares—bnt.it treats the immense number of
persons wbo are compelled to travel between
Philadelphia and New York as victims placed
at its mercy, and its constant study is, flrßt,
how to obtain the largest amount ef money for
the smallest return in comfort and safety from
thcso # passengers, and second, how to retain
an overshadowing influence over New Jersey
politics, so that all Its monopolizing privileges
may be perpetuated.
Heath of a Worthy Citizen.
Anthony Morris, formerly of Philadelphia, but
for many years past residing with his daughter,
Mrs. Nourae, at tho Highlands, near Georgetown,
District of Columbia, died on the 3d instant, in the
ninety-fifth year of his age. In early life Mr.
Morris represented this olty in the State Senate,
and In 1790 w« the presiding officer of that body.
During the Administration of President Madison
he represented oar ooustry at the Court of Bpain.
He has outlived all the companions of. his early
days, and, apart from his numerous connections in
this oity, there are few now living who knew him
exsept through the history of tho past. His re
mains Will be interred on to-morrow in the family
grounds, at Dolton, Books county.

European Politics.
'By the steamer Adriatic, which arrived at
ifew York yesterday, we have received files
of the Times and Daily News to the 2Gtk Oc
tober inclusive: that is, London journals only
nine days old. Tho information which they
communicate is of the greatest interest and
importance.
By this time, the whole of Italy, with tho
exception of Venetia and a portion ot tho
States of tho Church, is under the sway of
Victor Emmanuel. Sardinia and Piedmont,
by hereditary succession; Lombardy, by the
conquest and- annexation of last year; the
Duchies of Tuscany, Parma, and Modena, by
unanimous vote of the inhabitants; the Ro
magna, and other Papal, provinces, by tho
same process, and what was tho kingdom of
the Two Sicilies, by a general ballot in his
favor. To all intents and purposes, Victor
Emmanuel is now Ring of Italy.
The Pope, with sound judgment, has deter
mined not to quit Romo. While there , he is
still Head of tho Church, and not only Napo
leon, but all other Catholic rulers in Europe,
will give him a certain degree of support,
which will mako him continue a very import
ant personage. Removed from “ tho Eternal
City,” the Popo would lose much of his pres
tige. While there, however limited his terri
tory and his revenue, he will occupy the
chair of St. Peter, and, as a Prince-Spiritual,
continue to receive the homage of the mil
lions of Roman Catholics all over the world.
It is scarcely likely that Rome will bocome
the seat of Victor Emmanuel's extended
sovereignty.
On tho 28th October, this bold and fortunate
monarch was to have made his entry into
Naples, as its chosen ruler. His position is
very pe culiar. Franco and Russia have with
drawn their ambassadors from his Court at
Turin. Prussia, Spain, and Portugal are
about doing tho same. Austria has no diplo
matic relations with Victor Emmanuel. He
is believed to bo secretly backed by France,
and Protestant England gives this Catholic
King very undisguised support against the
Popo, his spiritual ruler. 1 here is not much
chance that, for the present, ot least, Yiotor
Emmanuel will be interrupted in his brilliant
career.
The result of tho Royal conferences at
Warsaw is said to amount to this: That Aus
tria and Russia, having adjusted their differ
ences, shall unite with Prussia to form an
other t{ Holy Alliance,” tho purposo of which
will be to act on the.defensive against France.
Under the foreign administration of George
Canning, England withdrew from tho original
Holy Alliance, some thirty-six years ago, and
her secession led to its dissolution. Tho now
compact will virtually array the three great
Powers, whose rulers have met at Warsaw, as
champions of Absolutism, against France,
England, and Italy, tho advocates of Progress.
It cannot bo either successful or permanent.
Earned by tho lessons of the last two years,
Austria at length has made concessions to
Hungary of .such a liberal character, as, if
fairly carried into effect, will probably quell
discontent in that'oldest of her hereditary pos
sessions. Tho heads of this Magna Charta will
be found in another part of to-day's impres
sion. It has been well received in Hun
gary, and tho same privileges are to be imme
diately extended to Transylvania. Lot Fran
cis* Joseph cast aside the traditional Absolu
tism of his family, and really act as if he
wished in truth to bo the Father of his people,
! andhe may, even yet, succeed in arresting tbe
ruin which has been long impending ovor his
empire. But ho must not do these things by
halves. Not alone Hungary and Transylvania,
but also Venetia and every other misgoverned
part of the Austrian Empire should partici
pate in the privileges, in the constitutional
rights which can alone bo tho basis of national
prosperity. Even yet, Francis-Joseph may
retrieve tho falling fortunes of his race and
realm.
What Victor Emmanuel thiDks of his posi
tion may be gathered from tho following:
“One of tho memborßof the Neapolitan depu
tation who went to present an address to the King
of Sardinia gives tho following as tho language
used by his Majesty on tbe occasion : ‘I am not
aotuated by motives of personal ambition, but we
must constitute an Italy. It matters little to mo
whether I am king of 4,000,000 or 24,000,000 of
people; hut it is of great importance that a people
belonging to tho same race, and speaking the same
language, should have the satno oountry, and that
that country should bo independent. If WO only
. a note from her through the Emperor ot tinr
French, whioh was full ot passion I oaro little
for it. Austria let slip the favorable moment for
attaoking me. Bbe is preparing for noxt spring;
but then, with your assistance, 2 shall have4oo,ooo
men in arms, and Italians, thank God! still.know
how to fight. Tho Pope himsolf now writes to me
with kindness. Tho Powers of Europe are dis
pleased ; they are pouting, but none of them ex
cept Austria tbroatoos. Wo nro acting like per
sons in our own homes. Europe will at last recog
nize that we have justice and right on our side. I
am. satisfied with Garibaldi; ho may bo a little ca
pricious, bat Italy has no noblor son. I havo bo*
veral times offered to givo him artillery, but he
refused the offer. He thinks hocantako Capui
by a bayonet charge. Tell your compatriots, gen
tlemen, that I eh oil not cease to bo for all Italy
what I have been for my little Piedmont. I shall
perform my duty as king and soldier: Jet us all do
our duty as Italians. Bear in mind that we do
not yet pottees tho key of our house ; but from this
day forward wo can s&y that Italy exists. Let us
hopo and persovero.’ ”
The New Play at Arch-Street Theatre.
Last night, for his benefit, which was “a
bumper,” Edwin Booth produced a new play, in
three acts, entitled “Tho Fool’s Revenge,” from
the prolific pen of Tom Taylor. It is, Indeed, a
tragedy—'With some striking characters-—written
in (remarkably) blank verse, but having the lead
ing part fairly doveloped, and the action well
wrought up to produco a striking finale. The
aoting, particularly of Booth, was good enough to
redeem even inferior authorship.
Before we sketch the plot, wo may as well Indi*
oate the source whence It hss mainly been derived.
In 1832, Vfotor Hugo wrote a ploy called Le Rot
s*Amuse i the performance of which was prohibited
by tho Frenoh Government, becauso Francis the
First was introduced, playing seme very un-Kfng
ty, or, at least, unmanly tricks. In this aro two
oharaoters — Tnbouht , tho King’s Jester, and
' Blanche, the daughter. In 1851, Verdi brought
out, at Venice, an opera called “ Rigolotto,” which
was performed at our Academy of Muslo, in 1853
and In 1859. In this, Rigoletto corre*
apond to ' Tnbouht and Blanche in Vidor
Hugo’s play. Mr. Tom Taylor, who has adapted
“The Fool’s Revenge,” with some ohango of plot,
besides that the character of the Fool baa been
written up into additional importance, gives the
names of Bertuccio and Fiordchsa to his two lead
ing parts.

tivaglio—beautiful, proud, and jealous. Manfredi
is a profligate, and bis principal companions are
three nobles—worlhy of snob a master. Therois,
also, an old captain, named Malatesta, with a
young and pretty wife. Attached to tbe Oourt,
alio, is a poet and improvisatoro, named Dell'
Aquilla. Many years before the action of this
dramaoommenoeß, Bertuccio, then bearing another
name In another place, was a notary, happy with a
lovely wife and their infant daughter. Malatesta,
a young gallant in those days, falls in love with
the wife, and takes her by force from her home.
All that the wronged husband ever learns, is tho
name of the Tarquin, and tbe subsequent death of
tho wife. Hunchbacked and lame, yet with a
ready wit, and a sarcastic tongue,
•* The stinging of a heart the world hath stung,”
us Byron says, he enters the servico of Manfredi ,
as Oourt Fool, and becomes a favorite His objeot
in going to Faenza, in this capacity, is that he
may work out hia rovongo upon old Malatesta,
who has made bis home and heart desolate. For
tunately for this purpose. Manfredi has a guilty
passion for Ginevra, wife of Malatesta , and is
porsuaded by Bertuccio to steal her away, at
night, from her own dwelling to hia palace. After
tbe scheme has been arranged, Bertuccio pro
mising to aid in carrying it out, one of Manfredi 1 s
companions speaks of a beautiful youog woman,
wbo lives in retirement, and is sccrotly visited by
Bertuccio. No one knows wbo sbo is, but it isun-,
charitably suspected that sbo Is Bertuccio’s mis
tress. The noblos, who hfivo boon stung by tho
Fool’s jibes, think it would pay him off to help
Manfredi , then lord, to take her away from him,
and bind DcW Aguilla , the poet, who knows and
loves, but has never spoken to her, not to disclose
their intention to the Fool. He Tctircs, with the
resolve, however, to warn and proteot her.
The second Act opens in thehumbio apartment
inhabited by Bertuccio’s daughter. Here, in
the young maiden’s absence, her attendant, an
old maid named Bngitta, (is there not oven yet,
a Bridget, as well as a skeleton, in every house?)
who has a remarkable laok of porsonal charms, is
humbugged by simulated lovo addressed to her
by one of Manfredi s profligate oonfidants, whose
name we do not remember, but would recognize
him among a thousand by his white surcoat and
the ruddy stockings, which made hia legs look
like lego of red sealing-wax. [Another of the
nobles wore a gTay upper garment, with hanging
sleeves and orimson lining, which was a oross be
tween an overcoat and a. cloak: he woro it night
and morning, and probably his Lordship slept in
it.l The scone between this noble and Bngitta
Wot a lively relief to the prevailing seriousnoes of the
play. Miss Wells, who aoted the old maiden
waiting-maid to the life, showed a great talent for
ecoontrio oomedy, and her msko-up was wonder
fully good. None but a decidedly well-looking
woman could% ave the moral oouiage so to change

her face. The young riofcle, wMle this ancient
flame quits the place to fetch her young mistrosa
from church, conceals Mmself, behind the arras,
with Manfredi , and presently Fiorddisa, the
Fool’s daughter, who knows not what or who her
father Is, oomes In, (attired with great correctness
of oostume, which looked very graceful,) and
listens to the tinkling of a guitar, played, she sue
peots, by a stranger whom she had often noticed
on her way to and return from ohuroh, and who is
the Poet. Mr. Shewell played this part, whioh is
rather short, with very great ability. His dress
was picturesque and becoming, and, from first to
last, he never once overstepped nature and truth.
Ho has learned, at last, we hope, that a subdued
and natoral manner Is better than the tendency to
exaggeration to whioh he sometimes yields. The
Duke and his worthy friend, oonoealod, as
we have said, witness as interview between
Bertuccio and his daughter, in whioh the
latter learns the wrongs which the former has
sustained, and the life-long purpose of revenge
whioh sustains him, but does not learn his namo or
calling. In this visit, he has laid aside Ms “mot
ley” garb. The scene between father and daugh
ter was powerfully played, and here Mr. Booth
showed himself indeed to be a great artist, capable
of moving the emotions of his audienoo. In the
first Aot he was, porhaps, a little too demonstra
tive in his soliloquy, his self-communion, but here,
and hence to tho oloso of the play, nobody could
have sustained the part bettor. After he retires,
the Poet (Shewell) comes in through the balcony,
warns Fiorddisa (Mies Emma Taylor) of the plot
for her abduction, delioately avows bis own passion,
and offers her assistance to bear her away to a
place of safety. Confiding in him, she accepts his
oompanionship to the residence of the Countess
Malatesta, who has once before resouod her from
insult. It !b net quite dear why or how Manfredi
and his friend behind the arras, allow the poet
and tho maiden to depart. In the next scene, wo
have tho poet and his fair charge beforo
the residence of Malatesta, who oomes out,
mentions that bis wife (Mrs. Murphy) has
gone out of the city, but places her in the asylum
of his wife’s chamber, with suitable attendance.
Manfredi (Mr. G. W. Gile) comes in when the
coast is dear, with his companions and Bertuccio
(Mr. Booth), and ascends into the lady’s chamber,
by means of a ladder whioh Bertuccio holds, and
hearß away hot the wife of Malatesta bet the
daughter of Bertuccio, who riots in the joy of
gratified revenge at the belief that he has paid off
Malatesta, wife for wife. This oondudos the se*
oond Aot.
Now the interost begins to oulmlnate. Fiords
lisa finds herself in a strange and splendid house.
Manfredi , informing her who he is and that her
father is his Court Fool, endeavors to iake advan
tage of her, being wholly in his power. She resists
with maidenly courage and dignity, and is thrust
into an apartment at the baok of the stage. Un
expectedly a new personage now appears—Man
fredi's wife, (Mrs. John Drew,) whose jea’ousy of
Malatesta has been oxoited by Bertuccio , who
wishes to pay off Manfredi for numerous insalts
reoeived from him. All this time, Bertuccio Is al
most wild with joy on aooount of his deep revenge
being on the eve of fulfilment. The Duchess with
difficulty believes that Manfredi has been false to
her, but, sot on to listen at the door, hears his pas
sionate entreaties to a lady, whom she believes to
be Malatesta?* wife. Thus seared, she poisons
the wine whioh is about being token in for “ a
little cupper,” as Manfredi familiarly ealls it,
which ho has invited his profligate frionds to
toko with him and ftordeltsa — she, wo must
say, seems to take matters very quietly in
that bad company. Malatesta appears beforo
the Duchess , at her summons, and to Ber
tuccio's wonder, does not seem to feel indignant
at the abdnotlon of his wife. Presently, that lady,
summoned home by her husband, appoars before
tho Duchess and Bertuccio, on whom dawns th e
conviction that his own daughter, and not Ms en?.
my’s wife, has been sacrificed to his revonge. A
magnificent bit of aoiing is where, refused admis
sion to the Duke's chamber, where tha revel
is proceeding, with his daughter In the
midst, ho conoeals his pangs and endeavors to
ooax the attendants Into admitting him. Now
the Poet oomes ip, learns what has happoned,
and passlonateiy proclaims to the revellers, oven
through the oiosed doors, that they are poisoned.
Oa this tho doors fly open, and Manfredi is
brought in, suffering tho fatal pains of doath by
poison. Fiordehsa is Senseless, but recovers, and
tho young gentleman who stands on the sticks of
red sealing-wax declares that her person has been
unprefaced, and that she has never touched the
drugged wine. An attempt is made to arrest
the Duchess for the murder of her husband,
but she, avowing that she bed executed jus
tice, tells them that tho troops of the Bentiva
giio house are at the gate Bertuccio, re- l
minding Malatesta of the wrongs sustained
from him, finally agrees that Justioo rests with
heaven, while Vengeance belongs to earth. The
dosing tableau is impressive—the principal figures
being the Duchess far up the stage, near her bus
band’s corpse, apd father and daughter in a fond
embrace of love and gratitude, In front. Near
or taken some other notice of him, beforo the ear
tain fell. Mr. Booth was called out at the olose of
Aot 11, hut did not appear. When the ourtaln
finally fell, ha was compelled to come oat, and was
very warmly greeted. His performance In this
new part shows that he can create as well as copy.
7he play, whioh is a mean performance in point of
language, he has elevated into a very dfootive
pieoe.
Mrs. John Drew, as the Duchess, was superbly
dressed, with exquisite taste, and had a most
queenly look. She played with great skill, and
infused the trogio olemont deeply into the par
formanoe.
We have already commended the acting—so dif*
ferent, yet so good—of Hiss Wells and Hr. Shewell.
Mr. Wallis, as Matatesta, had a small part,
which he appropriately played In a brusque man
ner.
A more plebeian-looking Duke, spite of his
handsome dress, than Mr. Oils we have rarely seen
upon the sta» e. Ho was wholly unequal to tho
part. Hr. Wheatley or Mr Shewell would hare
prodaoed a great effeot with it.
There is no small portion of praise duo to Miss
Emma Taylor, the most unoertain aotress now in
this oity. Sometimes she plays admirably—some
times only tolerably. On this oooaslon, attired
with great propriety, she looked very well. In
the passionate and pathetio parts, where she is
compelled to be earnest and lay aside her afieotod
and minoing mode of utterance, she was extremely
effective. But her pronunciation wants to be
mended. “My own a-heart a-told me that,”—
« a-hcavcn have mercy on me,” and “ tay
a-fathcr’B name,” axe simply affectations which
custom has made habitual. Vice and key-ind, for
voice and kind, are also bad. Moreover, all
through tho play, “ Molatesta ” from her lips was
Malatcetar. Mr. Qile, as the Sovereign Boko,
made the same mispronunciation.
Finally, the pleoe, whloh will have a run, has
been put upon the stage with the liberality, taste,
and effeot for whloh Arch-street Theatre has been
so distinguished undor tho present management.
Neither Mr. Wallack nor MUb Laura Keene could
have produced “The Fool’s Hevengo” with more
attention to ooatume, properties, end the mist en
scene.

and his band of minstrels opened at Conoert Hall.
We learn that the house was crowded, and that
the performances were very good.
Sanford's Opera House.— We dropped in to

concluded that Sanford and bis inimitable com
pany are aB popular as ever.

THE CITY.
Demoobatio Meeting in the Nineteenth
WAnD. —A Democratic mass meeting was bold last
evening on Frankford road, above Norris street,
in the Nineteenth ward. Isaac H. Morton pre
sided.
At tbe commencement of the meeting there ap
pealed more Lincoln men than Democrats present,
and the epeakera were hissed, hooted, and groaned,
1 and interrupted frequently with oheera for Lin*
i ooln and “ Old Abo.*’ The police wore appealed
i to, to arrest tbe disturbers of the meeting, but none
responded to the oall. It wafl asserted by the
speakers that several polioemon wore among the
orowd, taking partin the disorderly proceedings.
Mr. Charles W Carrlgan asserted this to be tho
I foot, and declared that he would take their num
bers and report them to Mayor Henry.
The meeting was opened by. Andrew J. Welter,
lin a short address. He was followed by Charles
I W. Oarriganj Esq., who discussed tho tariff and
j slavery questions at length. He denounced strong
l ly the course pursued by Mr. Lincoln when in Con
fress, who, Mr. G. said, had characterized the
fexfcan war as murderons, and onr soldiers as no
I better than oat-throats. Linsoln, at that time, noted
I with Tom Corwin, and voted against granting pen
sions to the widows of those who fell in that war.
Mr. C. oharged the Republicans with being an Abo
llltlou party, who were attempting to deprive tho
Southern States of their rights. Rut, if it comes
I to the worst, these traitors would find 240,000 De
| moorata in the North ready and willing to meet
them, and dofoat their mad attempts to destroy
I this Union. He closed amid mingled oheera from
his own party, and groans aDd hisses from the
I othor side.
Wm. H. Witte followed, and was several times
interrupted by persons opposed to the meeting.
He had spoken but & few minutes whon the Nine
teenth Wsrd Democratic Club came up, headed by
a band of musio. The elub wore equipped simi
larly to the Wide-Awake organizations, wearing
red, white, and blue cops and oapos, and oarried
torobes. The arrival of this reinforoomout had
the effect to put ft stop suddenly to the disorderly
proceedings, and after this thero was no more in
. terruption or oheering for Linooln.
I Mr. Witte briefly alluded to the loading ques-
I tions of tbe day, and passed to the consideration
lof the divisions existing in the Democratic party,
which had destroyed its vitality. The greatest
I achievements of the party were accomplished
when it was In a minority, and he instanced tho
foot that it had stood up alone In defence of hosts
of our oitizoua who were assailed on account oi
their birth-place or their religion, and it had
conquered. He believed that one reason of the
defeat of the party in the Ootober election was the
weakness and ineffioienoy of tho controlling autho
rity, (the State Committee ) whloh had not exhi

He acknowledged that there was no hope for the
Democratic party in the Presidential contest, but
contended that there was more glory in struggling
for principles when in a minority than in oow
ardly succumbing to a majority, or supinely stay
ing away from the polls. He begged bis hearers to
come out, and vote, and show what they could
do. Now, they could feel a pride in saying
that they voted for principles and not for tho hope |
of getting an offioe. [Cries of “ That’s so M J The
dfiferenoo between Douglas and Breokinridge was
very little, and the difference between Douglas
men and Breokinridge men was not so great but,
they might oome together cordially, as they were
all patriotic mon, laboring for the good of the
country. But the difference between them and the
Lincoln men was very great, as the latter were la
boring to destroy the Union. There should be a
perfect union between tho Douglas men and the
Breokinridge men against tho common enemy.
He paid a glowing oompUment to Mr. Dou
glas. whom he described as a man of trans
condant abilities, bold, patriotic, and fearless in
the expression of his opinions, who had worked his
way up from the work-bench, until he bad become
one of the shining lights of the Senate. [Three
ohoers were here given for Stephen A Douglas by
the orowd.j ‘ He also eulogized Mr. Breckinridge,
who was full of patriotism and love for the Union,
Bnd he (Mr. Witte) was authorized to say that Mr.
Breckinridge discountenanced all the Disunion
1 schemes of his friends in the South. Mr. Witte said
| ho would feel perfectly satisfied if either Mr. Dou
glas or Mr Breckinridge wore to administer the Go
vernment. He felt that the party was going to he
slaughtered, but he trusted that this apprehension,
would not keep Democrats away from the polls.
He believed that the contest was ono of rAoes The
Lincoln party were endeavoring to elevate the
nogro to the level of tho white race, and if that
party succeeded, they would no doubt advoo&te
the practical amalgamation of blacks and whites,
by intermarriage, working together, side by
side, in the same factories and workshops, and
eating at tho same table. This was the doo
trine of the party who were orying out “Free
homes for freemen,” “froo speeoh.” [Wo had an
example of their love of “free speech” here to
night, said he, by their attempts to disturb this
meeting] and he supposed they meant “free
niggers” among the rest. Why, in New York
they are now trying the experiment, to see if they
can’t pass a law to allow all negroes to vote. And
theywilldothe something here, If they get the

Even now, leagues had been formed in the South,

Guardians op thh Poor.—Tlio ixjgular
stated meeting of the Board was held yesterday
afternoon at tho office, Narth Seventh street, below

Tho house agent reported the following oensua of
the bouse: Numbor in the houso on Saturday last
at 12 o’clock M , 3 409; samo time last year
2,528; deoreaae, lip. Admitted during tho last
two weeks, 20Q; births, 5; deaths, 20 ; discharged,
119; eloped, 20; bound out, 2.
An application was made to send a woman and
her two children to New York, to meet tho husband
and father, who had deserted his family about a
week ago. The Board declined making an appro
priation for this purpose.
A man applied to be sent to Ireland. Applica
tion declined.
A communication was read from tho Board of
Health, returning, as disrespectful, a communica
tion whioh had been sent to the Board of Health
bv the secretary of tho Board of Guardians, com
plaining of tho neglect of tho small-pox patients
sont to tho small-pox hospital, and whoso board is
paid by the Guardians of tbo Poor. A complaint
had been mado to the Guardians of the Poor that
there woro no nurses at the hospital, and no ono
attending to tho patients at night, and in pursu
ance of this oomplaint the secretary of the Board
had sent tho lettor to tho Board of Health. The
Board unanimously approved or the course of the
secretary, Mr. Derringer, in sending the communi
cation to the Board oi Health.
The woman who preferred the ohargo was pre
sent, and averred her willingness to snbsiantiato
tho oh&rge.
The committee appointed to inquire whether
gas cannot be furnished to the Almshouse at a
lower rate than now supplied, reported that tho
Trustees of tho City G&s Works had deollned to
reduce tbo prioo of gas, as it would be contrary to
the settled practice of the gas department. Tho
committee rcoeived an offer to introduce Holtor’s
Patent Gas Regulator, to be affixod to the pipes
loading to the different departments of the houso,
at a oust of $6OO, whioh is warranted to effeot a
saving of 25 per cent. Thoy also received propo
sitions to ereot works on the Almshouse property,
at a oost of $B,OOO, to manufacture gas by the
water-gas prooess. The contractors guaranty to
?roduoe gas at a oost not exceeding ono dollar por
,000 feet. The oommUtco, in conclusion, say,
that however favorably they may view the latter
proposition, they were not snffioicntly satisfied in
their own minds, to recommend, at the present
time, an outlay of this magnitude, but intend to
procure more data than they at present possoss.
They reported a resolution that tho oommittee be
authorized to make the experiment with Holzer’s
regulator, and have further time granted in re
gard to the erection of works for water gas or other
process.
The resolution was adopted.
Mr. Linnard stated that the Board would not
have to pay for tho regulators unless they per
formed as promised. They were also to bo put up
at the expense of the contractors.
Mr. Linnard raised a question of order, that the
resolution passod at the last meeting, restoring tho
ferry at South-atreet wharf, was not legally aone.
He contended that tho resolution morely rescinded
tbo resolution abolishing the ferry, but in his opi
nion a resolution establishing the ferry was acces
sary before the ferry could be restored.
The President deoided that tho point of order
was not well taken, as it should have beon made
at tho last meeting.
Tho nominations for ferryman wot© then opemd,
when the names of Joseph Ralston, John Smith,
aDd Lewi's Penan wore added,-
Mr. Linnard then moved to postpone all aotion
in regard to the ferry till the second meeting in
January, which was agrcod to.
Tho proposals to supply coal to the out door
poor of the Tenth distriot wore then opened, and
the oontraot waß awarded to Mr John Adams, at
$3 50 per ton, ho being tho lowest bidder. There
was only cne other bidder, at $4 30 por ton.
Mr. Diokineon offored a resolution that no
paupor shall bo admitted to the house as an in
mate, excep upon an order signed by either a
guardian or a visitor of tho poor, which was
adopted.
Mr. Dickinson gave as his reason for offoring the
resolution that many persons, were admitted inro ibo
house upon orders Bignod by unauthorized persons.
Among others, tho inspectors of the prison wore in
tho habit of sending persons from their institution
to the almshouse, who ought not to go (hero, whioh
had the tfloct of filling up the houso with persons
who had batter bo kept out.
Mr. Charlos Brown approved of the resolution,
and said ho thought there woro mauv xereons
already m the house who woro abundantly able to
support themselves outside. Ho suggested, that at
some future time an inspection of the inmates
should take place, and thut all persons found able
to work should be turned out. This inspection
should takoplsoo weekly or monthly, and In this
way the Board might rid the house of many able
bodied paupora, who should bo compelled to go to
work.
After passing the steward’s requisition, th©
Board adjourned.

FRANCE A 3D ITALY.
The Cotiftitutionnel publishes an article, head
ed “ French Policy in Italy,” and signed by Its
editorial secretary.
This article, which is considered semi-official,
begins by energetically repelling the charge
brought against the Government of the Emperor,
by those who reproach him for not intervening in
Italy against tho revolution, and by those who
wish to see him sustain tho Italian movement at
all hazards Frenoh policy could not, without
compromising its most undoubted principles, and
its essential interests, hold to either the one or the »
other of tho two lines of conduct In taking part
against Italy the Emperor would betray his origin;
he would lose the character he holds from univer
sal suffrage, by whioh he was elected, and would
divest himself of the authority necessary to a so
vereign of France for the good of Europe. The
more ne is equitable to the people the greater is
the service rendered by the Emperor to the prin
ciple of authority. Besides, an intervention could
only be a military occupation of the peninsula.
What would Italy, England, and Europe have
said? They would have looked upon the peninsu
la thus protected as a French Italy.
Here the article enters upon considerations of
the political position of caoh of the great Powers o!
Europe, andhaving reviewed the state of things in
Italy, it draws the conclusion that a Congress is
possible, and defines tho part Franoe should take
therein
The article concludes thus : An organised and
powerful Italy is henceforth for the interest of
Europe. In oonseorating it by an act of high
jurisdiction Europe would show as much prudence
as justice.

CITY ITEMS.
The Dry Goods Trade in Philadelphia.—
The names longest and most prominently connected
wjtb any branoh of trade in a large city become, from
their historic associations, public property, and may as
such bo used in this pubhoway. Among this class, in
tbe Dry Goods deportment alone, Philadelphia can
boast a number, of whom, perhaps, none occupy a more
prominent place than the name of Townsend Sharpie**,
for many years located in Sooth Second Street. His
successors, under the firm of Shasplxss Bbothsxs. at
the Northwest oornerof Chestnut and Eighth Streets,
oooupy one of the moat eligibly located, conveniently
arranged, and best lighted edifice for business purposes
in this city. Though on a less extensive scale, the cha
racter of Messrs. Sharpies* Brothers' business is simi
lar to that of Messrs. A. T. Stewart & Co., New York.
Like them, they are among the leaders in tho Whole
sale, as well as the Retail Trade, and, while every re
tail buyer of dry gooes in this oity and »he surrounding
towns is familiar with tbeir house, it may be said, with
equal truth, that there are few merchants from any
part of the Union who are accustomed to making their
bills m Philadelphia, that have not, at some time or
other, been obliged to visit this establishment, iu order
to oomplete their purchases. In this respect thehouse
of Sharpless Brothers is peculiar; they keep many
classes of goods which are usually to be found nowhere
else ; so that frequently, in the course of the season* a
great many of our wholesale, as well as retail mer
chants, are, more gr letis, tributary to this house. An
other peculiarity is, that they keep their stook up
throughout the season—not in prices, bat in its variety
and extent. This fact has also been the moans of in
ducing for them a heavy trade during the closing weeks
of the se&6on; is foot, it not unfrequontly happens
that, when the generality of jobbing houses are'quiet,
with little stook, and less demand for it, Messrs, Sharp
less Brothers are busy in fi'ling orders for the lata
trade. Their stook at the present time, both is the
Retail and Wholesale Rooms, is a model of complete
ness, and each, during business hoars, presents a busy
scene. We need hardly add that, in the line of Friends’
Wear, they havo lone been tho leading house in this
1 country; nevertheless, they keep as complete and va
nod a line of Silks, Dress Goods, Men'B Wear, and, in
short, everything belonging to the Drf-goods Trade*
as any of their most en'erpris'ng rivals, Thesucoess
of this house has been as marked as it is well de*
served.
An Item for the Ladies.—We havo already
taken occasion to advise our readers of the suocessfu
“opening of Bonnets” at tho popular millinery esta
blishment of Messrs. Lincoln, Wood, &. Nichols, No
725 Chestnut street. The beautiful weather of yes
terday found their extensive retail department thronged
with buyers, and tho attractions whioh are daily being
added to their stook in the way of Ladies’ Beaver and
Felt'Bonnets, beautiful Bonnets for Misses, and ChiL
dren’s Hats and Bonnets of all kinds, oannot fail to
render Messrs. Lincoln, Wood, Sc Niohols, No. 725
Chestnut street, the ehier shopping centra for this
branch of goods throughout the season. To the ladies
who have not yet availed themselves of that pleasure
we would say. Give them a oall, believing as we do that
one visit will insure your patronage for them m the
future. 'J heir attendants, we are happy to know from
experience, are competent and polite, as their stook is
oartainly unequalled.
An Attractive Front.— We think that the win
dow displays of the splondid stores under the Continental
Hotel, to use a popular phrase, “can take down the
world.” The four fronting the establishment of Xe*sn>
Cims. Oat ford & Sons, now represent the value of thou
sands of dollars, and constitute collectively a noh in
dex of the four following of their departments: Children*
and Misses’ Huts; Ladies Furs ; Gentlemens’ Hats and
Caps, and Gents’Furnishing Goods. In either of these
departments the reader trill find a more complete and
elegant stock than in probably any other/our establish
ments in the Union. Their beautiful salesrooms are
now daily orowded with customers. Their pricer, we
mar say for the benefit of those to whom this foot is an
“ item,” are exceedingly moderate.
Balloons for Garibaldi. —The broiheis
Brooks, balloonists, the elder of whom preceded and
pioneered l’rofevsors La Mountain and Wise, and edi
tor Hjde, upon the occasion of their perilous trip from
St. Louis to the Atlantic, in June, 1359, recently wrote
a letter to Garibaldi, proffering their service for the
purpose of reoonnoitering the positions of the Neapoli
tans. They recotved, per steamer Asia- on Sunday, an
autograph lottor from Garibaldi, accepting their ser
vices, and will Jesve early in November forltoly, 'scat
tering along the route numerous petit* American flags,
each one bearing tho inscription, “ Buy jour Clothes
at the One-price* Gift. Fashionable Clothing Empo
rium of Granvjllo Stokes, No. 607 Chestnut street.” The
most skilful cutters in the country measure gentlemen
for ordered suits.
The Progress op the Times. —There is no
more decided ev'dence of the onward progress of the
timqs than tho Brown Btone O othini Ball or RockhiU
<sc Wilson. Nos 603 and 603 Oheßtnut street, above Sixth.
A palatial establishment, emphying its regiment of
skilful workmen, its scores of cutters and salosmen,
and with its almost miles of counters and shelves* all
loaded with elegantly-fashioned garments* made of
choice fabrics, it affords a bold contrast with the limited
ideas of our lathers in rrspeot to first-olasa business
establishments. The firm named are known all over
the oounlry for the superiority of their garments for
gentlemen and youths, and their stock was never in ss
fine a condition as at present B
