The News.
WO have additional details of the news( by the
City of Washington, part of which was furnished
by the telegraph yesterday. Bimini had left
Naples. The battle of Volturno Is represented as
having been of the bloodiest and most desperate
°tweeter.. The Neapolitans had twine as large
Tom as Garibaldi, and they attacked him in the
early morning, ividently intending to overwhelm
iris small army with their superior numbers. The
gallwat Liberator his men, revolver in hand,
and, after a contest of eight hours, succeeded in
completely routing the forces of King Bombe.
The Sing and his brothers were present at the
battle. Capra had not surrendered, nor had the
bombardment ceased. Garibaldi had demanded
of Victor Emmanuel a force of 14,000 men, and in
vited him to go to Naples. The three great
Poiere were about to protest against the inter
foram° of ,Sirdinia, and it was evidently the pur
pose, of these nations to insist upon Garibaldi
fighting' the battle with Borah's, single.handed.
The Loudon money market was unchanged, al•
though there was an increased demand, consols
oommanding 93.
We have intelligence from Japan by the brig Or•
bit, which arrived at Victoria, V. 1., in ballast, on
September 13, thirty-One days from Eakodadi.
The Orbit was unable to obtain a return cargo, in
eonsequence of the indisposition of the Japanese to
perform their treaty stipulations. The French
minister at Jeddo had resigned. The Portuguese
Government have conolu.led a commercial treaty
with Japan.
The steamship Tennessee arrived at New Or
leans yesterday from Vera Grua, with later advises
from Mexico. Guadalajara had been captured hy
the Liberate after a long siege, during which there
was mush euffering among the inhabitants. Gen.
Degollido bad been mowed of treachery, and or
dered to• Vera Crux for trial. In the capital city
there was much distress resulting from the war
like operations of the contending factions.. The
health of. the Amerioan squadron had confined
good.
An important announcement from the Post 01Bee
Department is nude by telegraph. The Postmas
ter General elates that the efforts of the Depart-
Markt are directed towards giving the public postal
facilities like theta of Laudon and Paris. To do
this, the Government must monopoliae the city de
livery business, and enforce the laws against pri
vate asiresers.. The Government regrets the op
position made, as it ceases embarrassment.
The Ladies Washington Monument Society aro
nowkinsily engaged In making arrangements to
have a national belief-box collection for the monu
ment. The contributions will be made atthe polls
on the Presidential election day.
Mi.'Deughts waa at Memphis, Tennessee, yester-
day, on his EOuthorn tour. His rooeption was very

Daring the week Jest past there has been re
delved, from Pike's Peak, the sum of $14,422.80 in
gold dust. But little news has been received from
stia mines. The number of emigrants going to the
mountainous land of gold, was very large.
There was quite a large fire at Leavenworth,
Repass, yesterday. A slumber of frame houses
were destroyed. But little damage was done to the
oerifen'ts Of the dwellings, although thertotal loss ie
estimated at $lO,OOO, The fire resulted from an
aocident.
Later advlsos have beon reoefivedfrom Trinidad,
by way of Bermuda. There was aozne dif
tteUlty between the merchants and the Govern•
matt relative to the tarAtupon Imported spirits
The merchants complain bitterly of official Jujus
ilon, and it is supposed an appeal will be talon to
out Government.
The latest news from the British West Indies is
to September Bth. The weather at St. Vhcont
Wee warre,,and a large sugar crop was expected
Tho yellow fever was prevailing, and several fatal
cases were noticed. The crops at Barbadoes were
very promising, but business was dull. Governor
Cookbtra had arrived at Montserrat, and was
sworn In. Ilia appointment was regarded as very
unpopular.
Ion" writes to the Baltimore Sun, from Wash
ington', afloat the amnion ory as follows :
"The greats of disunion and olvil war which
ale soaccEmon have, perhaps, made more imprea-
Mon tibioad than at home.. But the distrust of
foreign capitalists will be of short duration. There
Is a strong disposition abroad to Invest capital to
American securities at this time, while everything
in Europe seems to be shaky, except as far as
England is concerned. When confidence in the
strength and integrity of our Government shall be
restored there, a Good of oapital will be turned to
wards the United States. Another reason why
larger offers were not made for the ten-million
loan may be that most capital is now employed in
moving the heavy grain crops of the West."
GartbaldPit Great Vteton..
There is Very - important news from Italy by
the steamship City of Washington, which left
Liverpool on the 10th and Queenstown (the
Cove of Cork) on the 18th instant. Three of
the great Forcers are said to have formally

fiedmentese , army into the Neapolitan tent
tors. 'Nevertheless, they bad entered, and
smith 'of them had assisted Gemnstmi in the

The Union Men of the South.
A somewhat careful reading of our Southern
exchanges impresses us with the opinion that
the Disunionists of the South intend to make
a demonstration the moment Mr. LINCOLN is
declared President of the United States. In
order to show the data upon which this belief
is founded, it Is first necessary to refer to the
tone of the Charleston Mercury, the avowed
organ of revolutionary' secession. Tho text
upon which the echoes of the Mercury propose
to act will be found in the following extract
from that paper of the 18th of October :
"For thirty years past, the one great leading
object and endeavor of the Oharleaton Mercury
has been to hold up to the people of this State and
the South, the portentous fact that the Government
set up by them, and the compact entered into by
them separately in 1787, 1788, 1789, and 1790, un
der the style and title of the ' Constitution of the
United States of America,' from its original limi
ted agency, has gradually been drifting into a
consolidated, centralized, irresponsible, absolute,
sovereign Government, absorbing all the states
into itself, and merging alt powers in its supreme
authority. Step by step, as it has marched on to
its supremacy, has the Mercury called one its ttn•
righteous advance to the people of this State—
expostulated, expounded, warned. In the face of
the threats' of insolence, the jeers of levity and
laughter of fools, the foot has been hold up by the
Mercury to every man in the South who chose to
coo it. Let him in Carolina who would plead ig
norance cf the condition of his country, lay not
his folly at our door; they have ears to hoar, let
them hear.' Events, long foretold, are rushing
rapidly upon us; and sneers, and jeers, and laugh
ter, are alike crushed dumb in presence of the
dread reality , . Emancipation or revolution is now
upon us. With the past we aro done "
Thus, South Carolina becomes the leader in
the proposed revolutionary secession—the)
same South Carolina rebuked by ANDREW
JACKSON thirty years ago. Now let us put
upon record the Southern journals that follow
in its wake. The Corner Stone, published at
Columbus, Georgia, submits the following pro
gramme for disunion. It says
"We have for a long time had very little hope
that the South would ever free herself from tho
domination of tho North ; but within the last few
weeks our hopes have been greatly revived. Wo
believe now that the Union will be dissolved if
Linooln should be eleoted."
.Tho Richmond (Ira.) Enquirer contains the
extraordinary allegation, that '
" Virginia can no more prevent the dissolution
of this _Union, after Lincoln's election, than she
oau prevent that election. She will bo powerless
to prevent civil war, with all its attendant hor
rors."
Mr. YANCEY'S organ, the Montgomery (Ala.)
Mali, says :
" LET THE SOUTH Ana!—lf the slave States in
tend to protect their rights of property in slaves—
if their citizens intend to resist every form of in
surrection and ineendlarism which Northern hatred
ran inflict—let them prooeed at once to arm.
There is no time for delay ! Every breeze that
blows from the North brings to our ears,' intern.
genes of the onward march of wide-awakeism and
free-negroism !"
Senator Smorti's organ, the New Orleans
Delta, in exact harmony with his own declara
tion that the election of LLNCOLN would be
a cans belli, says :
"The lines are jest as distinotly drawn now as
they can be, even when the November election
34(1 have confirmed the presages of the resent
contests at the North. Tho issue is just as plain.
Nobody can mistake it. It is not whether Mr.
Douglas, or Mr. Bell, or Mr. Breckinridge shall be
sleeted President, but whether the sovereign States
of the South are ready to become the subject pro
vinces of the North; whether her free people are
prepared to be the bondsmen and the vassals of
Abolition masters."
We might multiply these expressions ad in-
Affirm, but it is only necessary, to flirther in
dicate tho determination of the Secessionists,
to refer to tho remarkable speech of Sena
tor Baows, of Mississippi, lately made in
Yew Orleans, in which he goes for revolution
ary secession; to the message of Governor
Bnown, of Florida; to the message of the
Governor of Mississippi; the letter proposing
military preparations to Governor JOSEPH
BROWN, of Georgia, by the Major General of
the State; to the late speech of Governor
WISE; and to the letter of Governor MOORE,
of Louisiana—all of which show a foregone
'purpose on the part of the enemies of the
Union in the South to prepare for a demon
stration the moment Mr. LINCOLN'S election is
announced. It is well to look an emergency
like this directly iu the face, and not to be de
ceived by the machinations of the adversaries
of the national sisterhood.
But there is, providentially, a bettor and
brighter side to this gloomy picture. There is
a glorious Union party in the South, com
posed of the friends] of STEPHEN A. Dora
i. S and Jour; Baia. The key-note to this
movement is furnished in the following extract
from the address of the Douglas State Execw
tiv Committee of Kentucky, issued directly
alter the Pennsylvania election. This address
fit signed by some of the ablest men in the
State—including the fearless editor of the
Louisville Democrat, J. IT. HeuNsr, Esq :
" We mush fear that the battle-folds of the Re
publlo must hereafter be transferred from the
iVorth to the South. In the event of the elution
of Mr. Lincoln an attempt will most probably be
Made by one or more Southern States to secede
from the Union. Strong efforts will be made to
seduce or force Kentucky, and all the other slave
holding States, into the unwise and fatal move
ment. In every Southern State—oven here in
our own Union-loving and beloved lientuoky—
able, active, and powerful advocates of disunion
will be found reoklessly resolved upon the deatrue
tion of the Federal Government, and bonding all
their sacrilegious energies to that treasonable end.
These misguided and infatuated madmen (we
refrain to employ harsher epithets) must be met,
overawed, and controlled by the conservative
Masses of their elm; States, acting through their
respective State organtzatiorts. An overwhelm
itig demonstration of Southern love and devotion
wi the Union signally displayed in the result of
rho vote at tie Presidential election, must effect
ually deter the Dieunionists from all Rots of resist
ance to the Government, if not totally banish every
thought of treason from their hearts. The wisdom
and moderation of the great body of the patriotio
and conservative people of the booth itself must
restrain its more fiery and treasonable spirits, and
prevent them from placing themselves in hostile
boliision with the General Government. The safety
41 - the entire country, no less than the honor of the
South itself, demands this mush of the allegiance of
every Southern patriot."
These are the words, be it remembered, of
Douglas Democrats in a Southern' State—and
they are the words of cheer and of courage.
That they will be maintained in Kentucky we
know, and that they are being imitated in
other portions of the South, alike by the
friends of BELL and Donnas, the following
extracts will show. Under the head of "The
Insidious Venom of Disunion," that influen
tial paper, the St. Louis Republican, of Octo
ber the 10th, says :
" We proclaim now, and for all time to come, a
relentless war upon every manifestation of disunion
sentiment, under any possible oireametaneee, ex•
cept those wheels would JUSTIFY nr.voLurzon ; and
we wish it fully understood that we do not for one
moment admit, in the most distant manner, that
the election of any man to the Presidency, in the
mode pointed out by the Constitution, tarnishes
the least ground for any form of nullification, se
cession, disunion, or revolution. If this is Fede
ralism, we are Federalists. Those who hold the
opposite of this position—that the constitutional
election of Lincoln, or any other man, as Presi
dent, would justify any sort of revolutionary move
ment--Lmay call themselves what they please, but
we call them Distmorneve, and so do the people.
They are enemies to the Constitution and the
'Union, and would, if they could, destroy both, and
desolate the country with a dreadful and remedi
less ruin."
So much for a Democratic paper in the
South. Now let us turn to the New Orleans
Picayune, the leading newspaper at the mouth
of tho Mississippi, which, commenting upon
the extraordinary letter of the Governor of
that State, says :
" A natural difficulty of defining the course that
should be pursued seems to bo felt by all who seek
security out of the Union. To avoid the cense
quenees inevitably following secession, they are
softened to gloss over their plane b language
that fails to convey a full conception o ftheir de
signs. They propose as a measure of peace that
which is only one of war. Few speakers or writers
have bad tbo boldness to present the issue in its
aotuallight before the public, and wo believe that
We express the opinion of a large majority of
Southern men, that this last resort will not be
countenanced until every other means of safety has
been tried in vain.
. "The south must bo prepared for sacrifice—not
A Maffee of opinion or of momentary oomfort and

but of popular choice, of voluntary association of
planters, and merchants, and artisans—must be
Witnessed before all allegiance to the Federal Con
stitution is thrown oft"
Turning to Tennessee, the Rev. G. &own-
LOIT, in his 801 l and Everett old-line Whig
paper, soya :
Should Lincoln be elected—which, may God in
his mercy prevent ! and should he favor unfriendly
legislation towards any one section of the country,
ormeddlo with the institution of slavery—which I
would regard as a violation of the Constitution, I
shall advocate waiting to see of Congress welt
saetatn h3IH on that. If Congress shall sustain
him In snob outrage and violation of the Consti•
tution, I shall advocate an appeal to the supreme
Court, and if that tribunal, our last resort for ins.
tioe, sustain Lincoln and his party, I shall con
elder that the "toms for Revolution has-come—
that the sixteen BouthereStatessbould go into it—
AND I WILL GO WITH THEM, AND TIGHT THE WHI
NY TO THE DEATH !"
The Lynchburg Virginian, an old-lino Whig
paper, of the 22d of October, contains the re
port of a masterly speech by Hon. GEORGE W.
SUMMERS, in which, after complimenting &E
-mmy A. DOUGLAS In the warmest terms, ho
said :
In any event, let Virginia stand firm for the
Union, so that, if Lincoln even bo elected, we may,
by the grandeur of our position, be able to rally
the conservatives, encourage all auoh men in the
North, and prepare for a reconstruction of parties,
"Mr. Bummers doffed with a grand, glowing,
heartfelt appeal for the maintenanoo of the Union,
which found a response in every heart. Big speech
will do great good."
Frog} this contrast it will ho seen that,
while there is a Disunion party in the South,
there is also a groat Union party. The
Southern advocates of the Confederacy must
be helped forward. They deserve all our en
couragement ; and if only Northern men
would look at present issues philosophically,
a few months would dispose of the difficulty.
If 'the Southern Dlsunionists aro in earnest,
they must not only be repelled by the friends
of the Union in that section, but these latter
mist be encouraged by all the supporters of
the Union in the North.
Therefore it is that we shall bail every
manifestation of a'disposltion on the part of
Mr. LINCOLN and his friends to exhibit the
kindest feelings to the Southern people with
unfeigned pleasure. Our fellow-citizens in
the South aro bound to us by many ties. We
are willing to forget all the arrogance and in
justice of their leaders in the apparently sin
cere apprehensions of many of their people
in regard to Mr. LINCOLN'S election; and we
repeat the hope that if ho should be chosen
to the Presidency in November, he will not
allow himself to be controlled by anti-slavery
or Abolition leaders, inflamed by hostility to
the South, and infatuated by a false idea of
their own consistency, but that he will respect
oven the prejudices of the Southern people,
and will take the first occasion to calm all
tears by proclaiming himself the friend and
the protector of all their rights under the
Constitution. No mere punctilio should be
allowed to intervene between his election and
the performance of this duty. lie defers to
an excited state of fooling in the South, but
ho will defer to his own countrymen. If he
is true to the oath of office he will be corn
pelled to take, he will anticipate all trouble
by nipping disaffection in the bud.
The Straight Douglas Ticket.
We receive letters from all parts of the
State protesting against the withdrawal of the
straight Douglas electoral ticket. Many of
these letters aro signed by Democrats who
have figured in the fore front of the party for
years. As a specimen of the feeling that ani
mates the masses of the Democracy in one of
the heaviest Democratic counties of the State,
we direct our readers to the communication
signed g , W.," in THE PRESS of this morning.
Another Democrat writes from Erie as fol
lows
ERIE, 001. 20, 1800
I see by a telegraph in to-day's Buffalo _Express
that " the Douglas State Central Committee have
withdrawn the straight ticket, and pledged them
selves to the Reading electoral ticket." Is this so ?
Must the Democracy be pushed to a choice between
the two interventions? I had hoped fervently
tharthe poor pivilege of at least voting upon prin•
cipie, though with but a forlorn hope of success,
would bo left to the adherents to Democratic prin
oirles. If the choice, however Is unavoidably,
the old " proviso " doctrine, with either a white
or black garb, I, for one, shall prefer the white,
and stand by free institutions. If I must be sea-
Hone!, I will not turn my back upon my own sec
tion.
And still another addresses us from Easton,
in terms of manly indignation, insisting that
the straight Douglas ticket should at once be
put in the field, in order to allow honest De
mocrats a chance to express their sentiments.
We think it right to reprint the following cor
rected copy of the straight Douglas ticket,
put in nomination by the same committee
which has now formally withdrawn it, for the
benefit of those who desire to have it printed
and voted in their respective election dis.

FITIC Arts.
We are almost inclined to envy than who have
wealth to spare, and can afford to indulge in the
luxury of obtaining some of the works of art by
favorite masters, which will be said this day and
to-morrow, by Messrs. Thomas, at the Academy of
the Flue Arts, Chestnut street. Messrs. J. S.
Earle and Son have usually In their galleries a
large number of first-class paintings, by the best.
masters, native and foreign, and connoisseurs who
visit them frequently become purchasers.. The
present collection Includes speolmena by the load.
ing artiste of Philadelphia, with some produotions
executed elsewhere. In fact, this collection re
presents Philadelphian art very generally, and we
have every reason to bo gratified by the display.
There aro pictures by Thomas Bully, P. F. Rothei
inel, James Hamilton, G. P. Hensel!, T. and E.
Moran, Rembrandt Peale, E. D. Lewis, W. E.
Winner, Paul Weber, Isaac L. Williams, W.

Jr., Thomas Birch, W. S. Heseltine, J. N. T.
Van Sterkonburg, S. B. Waugh, T. P. Roseiter,
and D. W, C. Boutslle. Wo would particularly
notice a charming Shokspersan subject by Rother
mel, ono of his finest works, and a marble bust of
Andrew Jaokson, out by an Italian artia., from a
oast taken during his visit to Philadelphia, in 1835.
Only five of these busts were made, and the re
semblance is wonderful.
Public Amusements.
The new play, called The Monkey Boy,"
adapted by Mr. De Walden from the French, and
now playing to crowded houses at Arch•streot
Theatre, was not very successful, a New York
paper reminds us, at Laura Keene's Theatre,
where it was first produced. Perhaps so—butua.,
tt half so well performed fit New York as it is at
the Arch ? Wo cannot imagine that any drama of
that elate eon be performed better than by Mr.
Wheatley's company. Public opinion thinks with
us.
" The Dead Heart," at Walnut-street Theatre,
continues attractive, and may run for a fortnight
or three weeks longer. This once, Philadelphia
has beaten New York--for this play will be per
formed at Niblo's, for the first time, this evening.
The aeting of Mr. Edwin Adams as Robert Land
ry, and of Mr Wright, (whose French pronuncia-
tion, by the way, is very good,) as the Abbe La
tour, would make a worse piece effective.
At MoDonough's Olympia Theatre, the Howards
and Mr. MoD. himself, with his stook company,
are drawing crowded houses each night.
The . Continental is crowded, owing to the at
tractions of the Circus troupe.
M. ALEXANDER WOLOWsEi.—This deservedly
eminent professor of tousle, who has long been
resident in our midst, and who, during his sojourn,
has made hosts of friends among his professional
confreres and pupils, is about to leave us, to the
regret of all who have made his acquaintancens
students or in the seelal circle. Ilis present course
of instruction, which is on the eve of commence
ment, will be his last in Philadelphia for a length
ened period, as ho has received urgent requests
to take up hie residence in New York, where as
many pupils as he can with justice attend to are
awaiting his advent. To those who are unacquaint
ed, either personally with M. Woloweki, or bie new
and original system of teaching vocal and instru
mental muelo, we would say that he justly merits

so simplified the theory and practice of

by the general run of teachers)—that persons of

in a ridiculously brief period practised and
thoroughly well•grounded musicians. We speak
with confidence of M. Wolowekt's system,
having thoroughly tested it ourselves, and know
ing that it has been endorsed by the best native
and foreign professors—the beet proof of its sno
ease being the fact that many of the former have
become hie pupils, and now adopt hie system in
their own circles of tuition. We have heard per

mere children have harmony and therorish base
at their fingers' ends. The slmplifloation of the
study of musio is a boon to society, and we shall re
gret the departure of M. Wolowski as a public

the brilliant prospects that are opening before him
elsewhere. Meanwhile, em would recommend our

WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE
Letter from "Occasional."
Corroopondonoo of Tho Press.]
WASHINGTON, October 21, MO.
The conspirators in the Southern States are ao•
tively at work. Undoubted intelligence constrains
me to the belief that a wide-spread disunion move
ment is in process of secret and rapid formation,
and that we shall see the first evidences immedi
ately after the November election, should the re
sult prove to be favorable to Mr. Lincoln. Al
though South Carolina is trying hard to push Ala
bama and Georgia into the load, she will urques
tionably be the head and front of the revolution—
for, if it shall take place, it will ho a revolution,
and nothing else. In order to males their demon
stration more formidable, letters ore being written
to all the Northern States, to traders of every class,
assuring them that, if Lincoln is elected, the worst
may he expected.
Some of your Philadelphia houses have already
resolved these warnings, and those who aro always
on the glee wive for a pante, in order to promote
their own intonate. In the purchase and sale of
certain securities, will, of course, essiet in this ex
traordinary movement. I am not writing ns an
alarmist. I believe that the more insane and vio
lent the pro-slavery leaders become, the more cer
tain will their course Le to arouse the champions
of the 'Union in all the Southern States. The utter
causeleseners of all . these preparations, while it
will produce orimination on the part of the North
ern people, will impress the true men of the South,
and encourage them to take a stand against thoso
who are blltsd enough to think their safety consists
in precipitating a dissolution of the Union.
All conservative mon will ask why do not the-
extreme men of the South wait for the overt act?
If Mr. Lincoln is elected is ho to have no chance
to show his band ? Is he, in advance, to be pro
scribed and persecuted'! And will not the answers
to these questions put all those in the wrong who
conceive secession the remedy for their alleged or
real grievances'? Admitting, for the sake of argu
ment, that the colored race are better in a state cf
slavery than in a state of freedom ; admitting that
the mass of the servile population in the South aro
happier and more comfortable than their free
brethren, does not the course threatened by tke
Southern politicians, in the event of Mr. Lincoln's
election, contemplate throwing the white voters of
the free States Into a state of slavery more galling
than that which is complained of by the. blacks
themselves? When' the point has been reached
that the minority shall dictate to the majority a
candidate for the Presidency—this minority hav
ing no claim M assert this high prerogative but the
fact that they hold several millions of home%
beings in slavery—there is an end to the republi
can experiment.
Besides, cannot Southern statesmen see that
these extraordinary preparations to put down a con
stitutionally-elected President will only keep alive
the antislavery excitement in the free States to the
end of time? If Mr. Lincoln Is chosen Chief Ma
gistrate, he will bo constitutionally chosen ; and if
those who aro adverse to his doctrines con prevent
his inauguration, or throw the Union into chaos be
fore the fourth of hiarob,lBol, what advantage will
they gain thereby' If they aro defeated, and ho
should succeed in taking possession of the Govern
ment, their defeat will be lasting; and if they tri
umph, and the whole machinery of the Govern
ment is arrested and thrown into confusion, that
fancied state of independent happiness, of which
their orators prate so much, will be fraught with
certain and irreparable evils.
These considerations aught to bo carefully pan
dered by the people of the South before they
allow tho politicians to commit them to a policy
whiob, once boldly agreed upon, may never bo
corrected or recalled, however mush it may bo
repented.
Looking over the Disunion papers, it is curious
to notice their anxiety to discover who is respond.-
blo for the present distrusted condition of the
Democratic party, and the gloomy prospect of our
common country. By general consent they point
to Mr. Douglas as the prime calm of all theio
troubles. They forget that they alone are re
sponsible. Not to refer to their endorsement of
tho Kansas policy of the Administration, who
doubts now that if they had treated Mr. Douglas
and his friends with ordinary decency (I will not
say fairness), at Charleston and Baltimore, they
would not now be divided into factions, and torn
with conflicting apprehensions at tho coming eloc
tion of n Republican President ?
So anxious for fusion are the very men Who have
been denouncing Judge Douglas in Ike bitterest
terms, that they call upon the Northern Dismore.
cy to unite against Lincoln, and now place all
their hopes upon Now York, in order that the
election may go into Congtess. Many of them
stead ready to forgive Douglas and his friends, if
they will assist In this scheme, the effect of which
will only be to carry the cam before the donate,
which body will elect Jo Lane, the Secession can
didate for Vico President, President of the:Unita
States for four years after the expiration' of tlfe
present Administration! 'When the historian
comes to describe the events of the last itx months,

ter should overtake our country, upon the men who

That the dissolution of the Union is eagerly de
sired by all European countries, especially Great
Britain, is no secret. The visit of the Prince of
Wales to this oountry may not be without some
signilloanoo, particularly. at the present time,
when the hydra of revolution and dissolution,
dares so openly to lift her Moon, herd' in
an almost triumphant manlier. England bas
to gain everything by a dissolution of the
Union. What seven hundred millions of dollarai
which she spent in her wars with this oetintry,,
and large armies and fleets, could not dg, Will be:
accomplished by moil an event. She will once
more come in possession of her best and rielifiet
"colonies." For she knows too well that, the
Union ones dissolved, the most inveterate hostility
must ever aftor exist between the North and South.
She knows that it is utterly impossible that the
two sections will continuo to live in peace if ones
torn asunder. Inroads made •by fanatical Aboli•
Sorties into the Southern territory, for tho pur
pose of inveigling the slaves against their masters,
or aggressions of the South on the North, will soon
bo followed by a bloody war. The material wel
fare, the happiness, and peace of both seotiona will
be ruined forever. England being unable to do
without the cotton from the Southern States, she
would assist the South against the North with her
navy; she would, with all hoe power, prevent the
North from Abolitionizing tiro South, as such an
act would be equivalent to a cessation of the out ft
vation of cotton, without which her manufactories
would go to ruin and her people starve; for sho
can sooner lose all her colonies than do without
the productions of our Southern States, Of every
seven pounds of cotton which oho imported lost
year, aro wore American produce. She knows
well that, in the event of a dissolution of the
Union, Northern manufactures would be excluded
from the Southern market, through the agency of
a high tariff, while British goods would be received
free of duty. She knows too well that, herself
possessing theta advantages, both Northern ship
ping and Northern manufactures must rears to
exist. But what would the South be? Whilst the
North would be materially and politically ruined,
and entirely powerless, the South would be nothing
but a British colony—a second Canada or East
India. Having no navy of her own, she could not
defend herself against her groat protectress. Eng
land would console tiro Southern chivalry with the
exhortation to cultivate cotton and look after their
negrov, but to keep their mouths shut about poll
ties. Our preponderance on this continent, cur
happiness, prosperity, and, morn than all, our
liberty and independence, will bo destroyed en
tirely if the Union is dissolved. Instead of be
coming the most powerful and enlightened nation
on the globe., we will either present the spectacle
of a second Mexico, or be, what we have been, a
colony or dependency of Great Britain. British
gold is now active, North and South, to attain that
end. Shall the American people destroy them
selves ?
The Brookinrldge barbecue of yesterday at

Where do We Stand To-day
For '/ho Preasd
It never was a difficult thing for any Democrat
to answer this question, but there is hardly one In
Pennsylvania who eau answer It with certainty to
day.
Evory true•hoarted member of the party knows
where he would liko to stand in the coming con
test; but, having surrendered the organization
into the hands of unfaithful and unwise leaders,
matters have beoomo so "mixed up," as they say
down East, that no one now knows what to do.
The " Reading Eleatoral Ticket," for example,
is the work of a regular Democratic Convention,
and,,if presented to the party in the usual way,
would kayo received the usual vote; but, under
the quackery of these " Welshmen," it has become
obnoxious to both wiage of the party, and, between
the two stools, will in all probability fall to the
ground.
Their manipulation has elicited—perhaps ore
ated—the fact, unknown and unsuspected until
then, that the cleotors warn not a unit; that they
were divided, on principle and on men ; and that,
while a portion of them were in favor of Dortgla.c
and non-interventlon, another portion were in
favor of Brictin, 'Os and slavery protection.
And now, although this meddling and most im
pudent committee have booked equaro down from
their position, have rescinded all their obnoxious
propositions, and have done what they could to
rtetoro the ticket to the position it occupied on the
day Wet' the Reading Convention adjourned, and
thus apparently removed tho objection which coin
palled the friends of the regular nominees and the
regular platform to form their "straight-out
ticket," yet they onnnot wipe out the foot that the
ticket is not a unit, and that, therefore, no man
who'svould haio his vote establish a principle can
vote for it.
In his late address, Mr. Welsh is very earnest
in hie appeal to the " whole party" to unite on
this ticket, and so far as ho urges it for the poor
ness of preserving the party organization, there is
force in what ho says, when addressed to more
party mon. But others, who prefer " principles "
to the " organization," reply ; " Sir, the organl•
cation of the party in the State and nation is poi
soned beyond all recovery ' and the sooner it is
smashed to smithereens,' the better for all who
love it ; but at home, whore it is pure, in our
counties, our wards, and our townships, where the
vlrue is unknown, there we will preserve the nu•
dons of an organization that will soon reform the
party on its old, true, honoat, and impregnable
basis."
The address also tells us of other good which a
" heavy vote" for this ticket would effect: "It
would show the South how many true friends they
'have in the Northern and Middle States," Se.
Noticing, as I pass, the fact that, if the South
had only clung, in good filth, to their true friends
in the Northern, Western, and Middle States, the
Republican party would have no such power as it
now has, I would inquire of these " Welshmen,"
which portion of the South would it encourage?
It' they mean them true-hearted, Union-loving,
conservative men in the South, who aro battling no
bravely for non-rote, yen tion," for " the right
of the people to govern themselves," and who have
ever clung to their true friends with " hooks of
steel," I answer, we are with you there. The
eloollon of some twelve or fifteen of these electors
would encourage them just es much as the election
of the others would disgrace. them.
If they moan, however, that portion of the South
who have placed in nomination J. C. Breckinridge,
on his intervention and slavery-protection plat
form, I reply that the Democracy of Pennsylvania
does not desire to encourage such people, or give
them any hope of aid or comfort hero. And if
they did, they would hardly attempt it by electing
twelve or fifteen men who aro opposed to their
measures rind their candidates.
The groat error of tho " Welshmen " consists in
a belief in their own P. waning, and the dullness of
the rank and file.
When they sought to macro the success of this
ticket, by their Philadelphia and Crosson resolu
tions, they assumed an appearance of fairness to
wards both rings of the party, while the real ob
ject in view was to secure no many voted as they
could for Breckinridge ' in Pennsylvania, to be
added to his expected veto in the South. Zro they
RO Ignorant as to suppose that we do rot see that
they have the same end still in view, even though
they have withdrawn their compromise resolutions,
the electors being all committed, and their prefer
ences known?
Why will they persist In following thls'orooked
path, when a plain and honnst course: would in
sure that unanimity for which they seem so anger,
and which "all true Democrats desire to seo Why
sell Into so serious a fight under a false or uncer
tain flug ? Let the electors treat the people fairly
fn this matter. Let them publish nn address or
pledge setting forth that they are bound by the
principles of the Reading platform; that they era
•tn favor of the doctrines of "nonintervention "
and popular sovereignty; that they will oast their
votes for no man who hi opposed to these Dense
clad° &atrium but for some one who is pledged
to carry them out, and the divided masses of rho

The Board of Trade Excursion
Correaponeonoe of The PrP3.l
atileActo, October 20, 1800.
Dean Perms The excursion party leaving
Cleveland, and passing over the Cleveland, Colum
bus, and Cincinnati Railroad as far as Crestline,
and then the Pittsburg and Fart Wayne and Chi
cago Railroad, said to be the longest road owned
by any single company in the United States,
arrived hero and took up quarters at the Treneent
Howe. The importance, in a business point of
view, of Chicago, is scarcely appreciated. It is
certainly the most extensive of any of the Western
cities, and will doubtless reach a higher position
in every respect—in wealth, in trade, influence,
and population. Its situation is extremely for
tunate. At the head of the lake navigation, it
must necessarily, from its position, control an im
mense lake trade, which is estimated at mil
lions, while in ragout to the inland trade,
its location could hardly have been better chosen,
since, by the eighteen railroads centering here, it
drains, to a certain extent, no less than five States,
which aro undoubtedly the largest grain-growing
States of this country, producing an immense sur
plus over the consumption, which seeks an Eastern
market; and thus these mallows of bushels—this
year the surplus being estimated at forty millions
of bushels—are poured Into Chicago to be trans
ported thence to different markets ; while, in re
turn, the producer carries away with him those
articles which ho requires, and hence, as a point
of interchange, Chicago must become a place of
much importance in the commercial world. To
illustrate, lot me mention a few facts There
were on Saturday the 13th, in the warehouses,
007,020 bushels of wheat. 124,2.15 bushels of earn,
7.236 bushels of oats, 4 375 bushels of rye, 3,375
bushels of bailey, 26 402 bushels of grain seed ;
while, during the same week, there were shipped
in the neighborhood 200,000 bushels of grain.
This is the record of but one week, and from it
ens can form some idea of the extensive character
of the grain trade of this place. Next to this
tunic, the lumber trade occupies a prominent
position. The Chicago river running out from the
Dike, and at a distance of half a mile separatistgg
into two branches, which ran at right angles wlth
the Albin stream, offer, with the lake, a wharfage
of fourteen and a half miles. A gentleman of ve
racity reruns lied that he had seen five miles of that
distance literally filled with lumbar, whose value
could hardly be calculated. The lumber is sent to
all sections; scum down the Mississippi river,
some over the lakes, and some over the railroads
into the prairie country. The crisis of '57 affected
materially this branch of bueiness, depreseing it
fearfully, but with the Increase at' crops and plen
tiful supply of money, it is beginning to assume its
primitive vigor, and will, during this following
year, it is said, extend itself largely.
And yet, with its largo trade, with its vest im
portance in the West, with its prospects for the
future, Philadelphia has permitted herself to he
overreached by Now York, rind this source of in•
exhaustible wealth is literally absorbed by that oily.
Philadelphia has been but little known to the busi
ness community of this city, in times past, but it is
to be hoped the future will tell a different history ;
and hence, a gentleman remarked that he bad no
doubt but that the present visit of the Philadelphia
merchants would he prailuotito of much good, as
it would melee thorn acquainted, personally, with
the substantial merchants of the place, and thus
present an opportunity of showing what Philadel
phia can do in the way of trade. To the excur
sionist merely for pleasure this place presents
much that will attract and interest; and, although
but now—so now that her history embraces
but a short atop in the march of time—he
will nevertheless find mush that would seem to
have required a long series of years to create, much
that be would imagine a century alone could throw
into as fine an existence. And among the curiosi
ties of the place he will find the grain elevator one
sit interest, because of the immense results it pro
duces. To unship and reship the vast quantities of
grain that are daily received here would, without
it, be an utter impossibility—it could not be done;
but with it this herculean task becomes, compare, '
lively light. The elevator consists of an endless
chain, moved by a stanza engine, end on this chain
are placed, at regular distances, dine or buckets
which hold nearly a peck each. The chain being
set in motion, and the grain thrown into a lower
receiver, it is slipped up by the buckets, and car
ried to the top of the building, a distance of about
one hundred feet, where it is deposited in a bin on
scales, then weighed, and run into an upper re
ceiver. The Chain moves with great rapidity, and
consequently can carry up an enormous amount per
day. Aa the grain is in the upper part of the build
lug, it is carried down into ships by troughs, and
hero is one of themain advantages of the elevator.
Et will thus load 22,000 bushels an hour. The
building is capable of holding nearly 800,000
bushels; and some idea of this business may be
formed when I mention that there are twelve of
chess buildings with elevators.
In ono point of view, at least, we find the West
excelling the East, and that is in the means a'-
forded for cultivating the muscle and developing
man's physical nature—a point regarded by mo
dern civilization as unimportant and immaterial.
fhe gymnasium is a very largo amphitheatre, per
fectly circular, with a high dome handsomely
frescoed and decorated with representations of
foots Of strength. At the side is a gallery for
Twitters, who aro able, from their position, to
see all the performances. Around the sides is a
feature we have never before seen: it is a track
of sail cloth, marital off for foot-races. All the
fixtures" are gotten up in the bast manner.
The tout ensemble" certainly is very fine, and
would throw a Dr. Windship into oestasy. It
ia extensively patronized by business men, who,
in fact, require the exercise. Why could not
Philadelphia have such a ono?
