The News.
The pony express arrived at St. Josephs, bib
apart yesterday morning, with three days' later
news troM San Pratiobsio. There was much po.
WNW eiteitement, the atudety to hear from Penn
**lnnis being intense. It was claimed by the
hirpubliemie that the strength of their party In the
:BMW, States would he enhanced by the oncosts of
their party in the Middle and Western States.
%venter Downey think!' the State will go for
Denim, and that the Republicans will beat the
eteeetionists. The Bell and Everett men would
generality sustain Douglas. Senator Gwin and
General J. N. McDougal had been making bitter
cPwiChes *sublet each other, and it was feared a
duel would take place. There is nothing of lin
pertain,* from Oregon.
There was, a fatal incident at Scranton, Penn-
Vivant', yesterday. A coal oar, containing a
lumber of miners, was thrown down a declivity a
distance •ll•veral hundred feet. Eight of the
miners were instantly tilted, whits two others
nem eo injured that their lives are despaired of.
Both beam:thee of Council' held a meeting yes.
tertley. The &loot branch was engaged in con
sidering the public buildings question. Mr.
Wetherill endeavored to have the proposed build
ings located on Penn Square, but this proposition
was lost, by a vote of 9 yeas to 12 nays. The
Chamber then determined to place them on the
Walnut-street front of the square, by a vote of 13
to 9. The resolution was then passed, with a pro-
Viso that the buildings should not cost over
1400,000. In the Common Connell, en ordinance
was offered authorising a loan of $325,000, to pay
the fended debt. A resolution was offered by
Mr. Megarge authorising the Mayor to vote at the
next meeting of the Pennsylvania Railroad stock
holders, against permitting the directors to pay a
commission tofteighturriers. Mr. Miller thought
that the intention of the mover was to ruin the
company! After this, the resolution was post
poned.
We have intelligence from :Hayti to the Bth in-
Mont. James Bedpath, a noted Abolitionist of
the revolutionary school, and a biographer of John
Brown, had received a popular ovation at Port-an-
Prinee on the 27th of September, the occasion be
ing his departure to the United States. Speeches
of the most ultra character were delivered, and
touts drank to the honor of Thaddens Hyatt, Vic
tor Hugo, M. de Lamartine, and the memory Of
John Brown. After the banquet, Mr. Redpath
was accompanied to the vessel by a torch-light
prooession, amid great enthusiasm.
The Union men of the South, whether under the
banners of Douglas or Bell, are consulting on . the
propriety of a union for the sake of the Union. In
Atlanta, Georgia, a meeting of the Douglas and
Bell leaders will be held to-day for the purpose cf
oonsammating a fusion, if possible.
Xx-Governor Wise delivered a speech yesterday
at a Breektnrldge barbecue in Princess Anne
county, Virginia. Tho speech occupied three and
a half hours in delivery, and was devoted to a plea
for a united South, and a rhapsody on war and
disunion. He advocated the formation of minute.
menthroughent the whole South, and called upon
all men to join in the movement.
The cry for relief from famishing Kansas Is being
responded to by the people of the West. Trains
containing large quantities of potatoes, flour, corn,
and groceries arrived in Atohison, Hams, within
the last few days. The provisions were collected
in Illinois. The other Western States will join in
the work of relief, and the wants of Kansas may
be expected to be speedily supplied.
The Union--Will it be Preserved t
One of the characters in BITLWER'S Play of
(‘ Money " says that, during his short politi
cal experience, he had survived uo lees than
seven complete "destructions of the British
Constitution;" and if he bad lived in this
country he would have been subjected to a
still more trying ordeal. In free nations,
where the liberty of speech and the freedom
of the press prevail, and where political power
emanates from the suffrages of the people,
Ulm talk fiercely andunreservedly spout over
throwing governments and destroying con.
etltatiores, but they rarely resort to such ex
treme Measures. In despotic countries, where
real or imaginary grievances cannot ho safely
denounced in public, the people often have
no other mode of obtaining redress or satis
faction than by tempering despotism with
easesshiation, or by commencing serious and
determined revolutionary movements which
overturn dynasties, and sweep away all old
political landmarks.
We have new been living for nearly four
years ender an intensely sectional" Adminis
tration, blindly devoted and subservient to the
dictates' of the South. A change Is appre
hended, but it is scarcely possible that the
Administration of ABRAHAM LINCOLN can be
come more odious and offensive to the people
of the Southern States than the Administra
tion of Isms BUCHANAN has been to the peo
ple of the North. The Federal officials located
among us have rendered themselves as ob
noxious to Northern freemen of all parties as
any men Ltecots can appoint will be apt to
prove to the people of the South. The North.
ern Democracy and the consistent adherents
of the old Democratic creed in the South,
have offered, as a successor to Mr. Breit/aux,
a truly national statesman, STSPUEN A. Dov.
limas, who has been as faithful and as zealous
a champion of all the real rights of the South
as any man in this country, but be has been
most vindictively and unjustly assailed. In
defiance of all the precedents and usages or
the Democratic party, a separate Secession
nomination has been made, and the Southern
leaders have insisted upon establishing a direct
issue between an avowed Southern sectional
candidate, ions 0. BZZOILINRIDOR, and the
candidate of the Republican party. Ihe deci
sion of that issue against them is almost inevita•
Me, as they, indeed, supposed it would be from
the very outset, and they are now discussing
whether they will submit to an official result
which will be the natural offspring of the policy
they have adopted, and whether the election
of a Republican in the manner prescribed by
the Constitution shall be considered a suffi
cient cause for the dissolution of the Union.
No political experiment since the world be
gan has proved as decidedly successful as the
American Confederacy. All the great aims
of its founders have been substantially - rea
lized. Although there is scarcely a section
of our country in which hair-splitting abstrac
tionists or noisy demagogues have not at some
period made bitter complaints against the
Constitution, or the powers exercised under
it, yet there is not a State in which the bene
fits of the Union are not daily and hourly telt,
notwithstanding the loud clamors which
Abolitionists and Fire-eaters conspire to
ftihninate against it. No two sentiments aro
more deeply enshrined in the American heart
than those of JACKSON and WitlISTER—c , The
Federal Union—it must be preserved," and
if Liberty and Union—one and inseparable."
And there is no more clear and imperative
dirty enjoined upon all American eiticerut. no
matter what may be their political sentiments,
than to assist in sustaining the righteous au
thority of whoever is legally elected President
of the United_States. Acquiescence in the will
of the majority, Constitutionally expressed,
bail been the only bond which has kept us to
gether in spite of our bitter and vindictive
partisan conflicts, and when that bond is bro
ken vex - whole system of democratic govern
ment must necessarily be destroyed, and the
Iron bend of i military despotism invoked as
oar only prAection from anarchy.

Wood assaults of its political adversaries-
All its important movements will be jealously
maned, and whenever it deviates from the
strict Use of constitutional duty, its derelic
tions will be boldly proclaimed throughout the
length and breadth of the land, and for its
wrong-doings it will speedily be punished by
Withdrawal of the public confidence, and
thus be shorn of nearly all its influence and
power. But It is one thing to assail the mea
sures of a President in a constitutional mode,
end another to attempt to destroy our Govern
tessat, either by inducing any of the States to
seatde, - or by setting at defiance important

Hos which have failed, perished because their
people did not possess this essential attribute
of the power of self-government. It is tho
first duty of everyman who loves his country,
whether he lives in the East, West, North, or
South, to prbserie it from anarchy—to gee
that the will of the people, in the selection of
their rulers, is respected—that the Confedera
cy, formed not for the benefit of any one, but
for that of all portions of the country, is
maintained intact —and then to watch, as
closely as he can, the acts of those entrusted
povier, and to denounce and oppose them
as earnestly as be chooses, by constitutional
means, when he believes them to be unwise,
unjust, or prejudicial to the interests of the
nation.
We confess that the signs of the times indi.
cate an intense feeling in some parts of the
Confederacy in regard to the result of the
Presidential contest. It is difficult to believe
that all the fearful threats which are daily made
Will practically amount to nothing—and a
somewhat serious demonstration of some kind
may therefore be expected. What shape it
will take future events alone can determine.
But we believe Senator DOUGLAS, in his reply
at Norfolk to the interrogatories there pro
pounded to him, laid down the only true basis of
action. It has unfortunately happened here
tofore, on several occasions, that the authority
of the Federal Government has been defied ;
but the contests which have thus been engen
dered have only served to strengthen its power.
In the early days of our constitutional history,
Pennsylvania, now so staid and conservative,
was one of the moat refractory of States, and
on two occasions a portion of her Citizens re
sorted to what was equivalent to an armed re
bellion against the laws of Congress. But ex
perience and reflection modified her ultraisms
and rendered her one of the most loyal Com
monwealths of the Union. Firmly believing,
as we do, that the best interests of the
South, as well as of the North, are involved
in the preservation of our present system of
Government, no matter what party triumphs
in the Presidential election, we are loth to
believe that a majority of her citizens will
allow themselves to be induced by rash leaders
to assume a determined attitude of hostility
to the Union, and thus to open a Pandora's
box of evils, to inflict serious injury upon
themselves as well as upon the people of the
North. Is it not rather to be expected that a
full discussion of the disunion project, if it
must be forced upon them as a horrible re
ality, will result, like all former agitations of a
similar character, in a conviction that it is
far better a to bear the ills we have than fly to
others that we know not of?"
Are We on the Eve of Dissolution?
The New York Herald of Wednesday has
another panic article, the most of which is of
sufficient importance to lay before our read
ers. We copy:
" To-day w e publish another batch of revolu
tionary documents, which are of the most terrible
import•. And the terror with which they are in•
vested is enhanced by the melancholy fact that the
people of the North do not realize the danger
which is at hand. They are buying and selling,
and marrying and making merry, as if no cloud
darkened the horizon, and as if no calamity were
looming up before them. So did the inhabitants of
the buried cities of Herculaneum and Pompeii just
before their destruction. They fiddled and danced
and made merry, and pursued their ordinary avo
cations without a thought of the future, when sud
denly they were overwhelmed from the crater of
Vesuvius with red-hot cinders and scoria and lava,
and have only been disinterred from their fiery
grave after the lapse of oenturies. We are on Vie
brink of a social and political volcano, and we are
lulled into perfect security, notwithstanding the
rumbling sounds beneath and the smoke above
that always proceed from fire. The explosion may
take place at any moment, and yet we are appa
rently as unconcerned as if it were a thousand
years ahead.
" Some of those who do pay attention to the
ominous signs of the times say that the cry of
megaton at the South is but the old cry of wolf.'
But, suppose it is : the wolf comas at last, and we
are unprepared for his attack on the fold
"It will be seen that Louisiana and Florida
are likely to identify themselves with the Southern
revolution, while a voice from Alabama reiterates
her determination not to submit to the tyranny of
the North; and in South Carolina decisive mea
sures are indicated for precipitating the oriels.
Mr. Mason, of Virginia, - chairman of the Commit
tee on Foreign Relations in the United State, Se
nate—the highest official position in that body—
delivered a speech two or three days ago at Rich
mond, in which he shows the progress of the anti
slavery sentiment at the North, and that the Re
publican party are identical with the Abolition
party—that such are the aggressions of the North
that the South is now at their many in the Union
—that the balance of power in Congress which
protected the South is lost—that not only will the
President be elected by the North,.but that a ma
jority of the House of Representatives and of the
Senate are from the same section. In the next
Congress the House of Representatives will proba
bly be Republican, and the Senate will soon be of
the same complexion. From fifteen free States in
1850 share were only thirteen members in oppo
sition in the Senate, and only five of these Aboli
tionists. Now there are twenty-five from the
same States, pledged members of an organizatiOn
upon the buts of destroying the social fabric of
the fifteen States of the South. The leaders of this
sectional party, arrayed on a geographical line,
do not hesitate to say that they look forward to
the time as near at hand when, in addition to the
President and the two branches of Congress, they
will have the control of the Supreme Court of the
United States—all that is wanting being the death
of two or three aged gentlemen. Raving seemed
a majority in that tribunal, who, contrary to its
decision in the Deed Scott oese, will decide that the
slave institution is not protected or recognized by
the Constitution, they have only to proceed to Re
total abolition by writs of habeas corpus and other
measures foreshadowed in their programme.
"Under these oircumstances, a writer in De
Bow's Review, in a powerful adjoin, shows that
the only chance for the safety of the South and Re
institutions is to retire at once in peace from the
Union ; and for the sake of the North we are sorry
to say that we fear the danger of this stop ie im
minent.. To those who talk of coercing the South
ern States into the Union, after they have seceded,
we recommend the reasoning of this able paper.
Coercion is muds easter said than done.
. _
"The apprehension of what is coming has
already operated on the banks in the South, and
if the panto should extend there, It will soon be
felt in the North; felt in the factories of New
England; felt in the oommeroial cities of the sea
board; felt by the merchants of this city ; felt by
all classes. It was in the South that the terrible
financial revulsion of 1837 commenced which shook
the North through its whole extent, spreading ruin
and dismay. If the penis which is now threatened
in the f3oath should increase, the consequences to
the North would be worse than they were in 1837
If they aro preparing for revolution, they will, of
course, deem it the most prudent policy to keep
their money among themselves, and not send it for
goods to the North; the chances, - thoreforo, aro
that a stagnation in business, and a commercial
revulsion, commencing at the South, will coon
carry desolation and calamity to the North."
It is not necessary to inquire Into the mo
tives of the author of the above article, who
one day predicts that Mr. LINCOLN'S Adminis.
tration will be conservative, and the next that
his more election will break up the Union.
Nor will we ask what the Northern people
have done that this terrible catastrophe should
be precipitated upon them. It would be futile
to draw a contrast between the follies and fa
naticism of extreme men in the North, and
the arrogance and aggressions of extreme men
in the South. The best way to meet the crisis
which is said to be upon us, is to ask what
remedy is proposed by those who claim that the
Union is to go to pieces because the majority
of the people insist upon constitutionally elect
ing a man of their choice President of the
United States.
If Mr. fauns were withdrawn to-morrow,
does the Herald suppose that the people of
the free fltates would vote for Jens C. BREWS.-
INBIDOE, the candidate of the Southern Dion
nionists 7 Does not the editor of that paper
also know that these Dieunionists speak of
JOHN BELL and Of STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS with
as much bitterness as they do of AIINAHAU
LINCOLN ? That the Charleston Mercury has
announced that Dotramts shall be treated with
personal violence Who enters South Carolina,
and that Mr. 'Downy, and his Mends in Ala
bama and elsewhere, have made a record upon
Joss Buzz. proving that be is little better than
an Abolitionist?
The Herald's panacea for all our troubles
is that the fusion electoral ticket in New York
should prevail, in order that the election of
President should be thrown into Congress.
With the notorious record against Dortmas
and BELL of the men who propose to control
the entire South in both branches of the Con
gress of the United States, the effect of send
ing the election of President to Congress
would, of course, be to elect Jo LANE Presi
dent of the United States by the vote of the
Senate—a man who would be in the minori
ty, not alone in the popular vote, but in the
Electoral Colleges. And will the Herald tell
us that such a finale to the campaign would
bring peace to the Union ? Would it destroy
the Republican party ? Would it not rather
reanimate that party to such a degree as to
put the South in the wrong henceforth—as Mr.
Romulus put it in the wrong on the Lecomp
ton question —and in the course of its dele
gates at Charleston and at Baltimore I And
would not the Republicans, in 1864, come up
to Washington with superadded power, not
only in population, but in sentiment—not
alone in numbers, but in the justice of their
cease ?
Where, in such an event, would be the Na
tional Democracy of the tree States ? They
have been compelled to carry many burdens
heretofore, and to apologise for lit ny be
trayals of principle, on the part of their
chosen representatives, but what, with such a
man as Jo LAKE elected President, would
be their condition ?
The Herald is greatly alarmed at the pre
sent state of Southern fooling, and at its pos
sible effects upon Northern commerce and in
dustry, but we think it would require more
than the usual patriotism and virtue and dis
interestedness of oven that immaculate jour
nal to discover the medicine to heal the dou
ble wound that such a sequel to the present
struggle would inflict, alike upon the peculiar
institution of the South, and upon the sub
stantial interests of the North and Northwest.
Ono consequence would be inevitable—the
utter extinction of all national men In the
free States.
Common sense is the attribute most needed
at the present time, and the remedy for all
imaginary or real evils, is to let Mr. Lutoomes
Administration, if his election shall take place,
be tested by that rule. He will have his des
tiny in his own hands, and if he chooses to
attack the rights of any portion of the Ame
rican people, those who will not resist him
will be in a feeble and contemptible minority.
Panic-makers and Disunionists may labor to
produce dissensions for their own sakes, and
it is probable trouble may come under the cir
cumstances; but the best way to meet the
crisis, if one there is to be, is by meeting it
with the weapons furnished by Common
Sense.

Letter from " Occasional."
ICorrenoadenoe of The Pre e.l
WABIIIIiGTON, Ootober 25, 1880
I learn that it is the intention of Judge Douglas,
in the speeches ho proposes to make in the far
South, to handle the dangerous heresy of dis
nubble without gloves. His efforts will undoubtedly
result in great good to the country. The conserva
tive men who have drooped under the incessant
appeals of the 'Reunionists to the passions and pre
judioes of the Southern masses are 'buoyant with
hope at the news of his coming. They know with
what unshaken courage he met and overthrew the
Northern fanaticism which assailed him at Chicago
after the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska bill, and
they have an abidingoonfidence that at Atianta,Mo
bile, and other Southerticitiee, he will expose and
frustrate the treasonable designs of the Breckin
ridge leaders. He has thrown himself boldly into
the contest, careless whether his chances of elec
tion to the Presidenoy are great or small, and he
will fight on against the disunion conspiraey to the
last gasp, knowing fall well that " the path of duty
is the way of glory."
Whether the threats of secession made by South
ern orators and Southern journals are the more
empty and exaggerated language of an exciting
Presidential canvass or not, it is, nevertheless, the
fact that there never was, since the adoption of the
Constitution, less ground on the part of the South
for a dissolution of the Union than now. General
Harrison and Millard Fillmore, when they were
presented for the suffrages of the Southern people,
had much worse records on the slavery question, in
a Southern point of view, than Mr. Linooln now
has; at least, they had as bad ; and yet their claims
to the Presidency were upheld upon every stump
in the South. General Harrison was elected, and
gill the South did not consider his eleotion sofa.
cleat ground for secession, nor did they secede
when Vice President Fillmore became President by
reason of General Taylor's death. Southern men
passed the Missouri Compromise measures of 1820,
recognizing the principle of the Wilmot Proviso,
and excluding slavery or involuntary servitude
from all of the Territories of the United States
north of 38 degrees 30 minutes of north latitude.
Yet the South did not secede. Better counsels pre
vailed, and she still remained in the Union. It is
true that on one occasion a meeting of Southern
members of Congress, to discuss the propriety of
vacating their seats and returning to their homes,
ended 1p their resuming their seats and proceeding
as usual with the ordinary legislation of the coun
try. Nor is it less true that the men who now lead
the Breakinridge movement are the same who made
warfare, long and bitter, against Clay and Web
ster, and Douglas and Bell, and Cass, and the host
of patriots who sustained and passed the Compro
mise measures of 1850. They solemnly protested
against those measures and appealed to the people.
In the Senate they shrank from an avowal of their
real design, quailing before the terrible invec
tive of Clay and Webster; but when they went
before the people they raised the disunion ban
ner, and it Is a proud tact to recall, that,
the patriotism and indignation of the people
being aroased, the fire•eaters then suffered a
Waterloo defeat. In 1852 their platform, slue
attempted to be erected by a Congressional callous
into an unchangeable law for the Democracy, was
denounced by the two great National Conventions
of that year, and the principle of non-interven
tion, the soul of the Compromise measures, was re
affirmed. You will recollect, too, that Peautesof
the very Men who arrogate to themselves to make;
law for the Democracy were those who, in 1862.
like Lawrence M. Heitt, now anxious to iepriieni
South Carolina in the United States Senate, 44 .
pndlated all affiliation with the Democratic organ',
cation, stating that they were outside of all °agent
rations. Nobody who witnessed them can ed•
forget the stormy scenes which marked the ope
ing of the last session. Day after day, • and
week after week, the House of Representa
tives swayed to and fro in a tumult of
conflicting opinions. Southern members who
had sent out to their constituents speeches full
of wrath and vituperation against the Republican
members, wont so far as to sign a paper pledging
each to the other to retire in a body, if a " Black
Republican " or an endorser of the "Impending
Oriels " was elected Speaker. Governor Penning.
ton, of New Jersey, was elected. He bad avowed
himself a " Blank Republican," ho had voted for
Mr. Sherman again and again, and he appointed
Mr. Sherman chairman of the Committee of Ways
and Means, the most responsible position in the
House, and yet the Southern members did not re.
tire. On the contrary, Mr. Booook, the Breekin.
ridge candidate for Speaker, with unhesitating
politeness end courtesy, joined Mr. Sherman in
executing the honorable duty devolved upon them
of escorting the newly-elected .Speaker to tho
chair. After the election bad taken plasm, all ex
citement subsided, and the House proceeded to the
consideration of the business of the session. If
those Southern members had retired from the ball
and gone home, their people would undoubtedly
have sent them bask, or more probably they would
have elected others in their stead, of which it is to
be presumed the sitting members had a wholesome
fear. So it is that many believe it will be when the
Presidential contest is decided. It is alleged that
those who have seen most of the Presidential oleo-
Cons are well aware how hard it is to create the
faintest excitement after the result's ones certainly
known. The masses of our people are practical,
and after they have lost or won, so far as their
party predilections are conoorned, they relapse
into their ordinary avocations, eschewing politics
till the next election. I pray it may tern out so.
The Southern Disunion papers teem with eulo
gies of Garibaldi, high wrought, but eminently
deserved. They rejoice in the approaching disen
thralment and regeneration of divided and long
oppressed Italy. Recalling the days of her ancient
glory, repeating the undying story of stern, un
selfish Roman patriotism, gliding again under the
fascination of the writers and orators of classic
Rome, who have always Inspired enthusiasm and
love of liberty, they swell into a torrent of fond
predictions of the time soon coming when the Ita
lian people will again be great, happy, and free,
and of denunciation of treacherous diplomacy and
State-oraftinterposed to,obstruot " Italian unity,"
from which that grand result is to flow.
I am sure that so noble a sympathy meets with
a hearty response in the North. But while these
exponents of disunionism follow their republican
instincts in favor of Italian unity, do they not
overlook the stinging rebuke it applies to their
own efforts to destroy the American Union ? Does
the history of the separate Italian republics teach
no lesson of anarchy, civil war, fraternal blood
shed, and gaunt famine ? I appeal to you whether
a stronger illustration could be given of the devil
ish malignity of the Disunion leaders.
" Oh. Porting is there not some action nurse.
Borne hidden thunder in the stores of heaven
Red with uncommon wrath. to blast the man
Who owes his greatness to his country's ruin."

Letter from “Kappa."
(Correspondence of The Prem.]
WeenutaTox, October 25, 1800
Major Toobman, an adopted citizen, of Polish
birth, and elector on the Douglas tlokot in the
Alexandria district, Virginia, addressed, last night,
the Douglas Association of this city, in an eloquent
and able manner.
We are living in strange times. Not only our
Union, but the whole world, is in danger. The
millennium is to commence in 1867 ! A Mr. Baxter,
of England, lectured, the night before last, at the
Methodist church on Ninth street, and last night
before the Young Men's Christian Association, be.
fore large audiences. Ills lectures are advertised
as "The awful national calamities prophesied to
be impending, and the coming of Christ to Judg
ment, about 1861-68, according to eminent English
writers (names), with a glance at the political des•
tiny of America, England, and Prance." In order
to confines myself that, in the year 1800, in the
capital of the most enlightened country In the
world, such nonsense could be announced in
earnest, I concluded to attend the lecture. There
was quite a large and intelligent-looking audience
present. The lootersr regarded his subject as one
of the most momentous and important that could
possibly engage the attention of man. Many per
sons' minds were prejadloed against the idea of its
being possible to tell of the time of Obrist!s coming
to the earth, became of the declaration of the Bible,
that "of that day and hour knoweth no man; no,
not even the angels In Ileavon." If such persons
would only consider the various connections of this
portion of Soripture, their minds would at ones be
relieved of all doubt and hesitation arising in con
sequence. Re exhorted all to soaroh the Soriptureo
diligently, that they might understand these
things. There was a double blessing invoked
upon those who read the book of revelation, while
THE PRES&-PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 26, IS6O.
upon those who disregarded its teaohiugs were to
be heaped fearful anathemas and curses.
The lecturer then proceeded to demonstrate
that the year 1867 had always been looked forward
to as the period of Christ's second visit to the
earth. At this time Christ would first appear In
the air, in order to take up the righteous dead
and righteous living; and then, as soon as this
was accomplished, desolation and judgment would
be brought on the wicked who were left behind.
Some supposed that this uprising of the righteous
would take place so imperceptibly that it would be
some time before the Wicked ones on the earth
would be aware of it ; and it wag thought, oleo,
by many that God would refuse then to listen to
the prayers of the wicked ones.
It was the opinion of nearly all of the eminent
believers in this doctrine that the present Emperor
of Frame was in a short while to become the
"Great Anti-Christ" spoken of in the Bible, and
after the Jews had been restored to Jerusalem,
Napoleon, in his zeal for the infidel cause, would
lead one of the largest and most imposing armies
that had ever been known to a encoessful attack
upon that ancient city. Be would consign large
numbers to destruction, and put others to the
sword. Just at this time, when the Jews would
be reduced to the last extremity, Christ, in an
swer to their prayers, would descend to the earth,
and would pour out upon these oppressors hall and
fire, and destroy five sixths of them. As the Em
perors of Russia and France were to be combined
in this dreadful onslaught, it was not definitely
determined which would be the more . conspiouotut.
The millennium was to begin after the battle of

lunatic asylum. Is this another proof that we

Letter from Now York.
[Correspondence of The Prom.]
The anti-Republicans had a very largo meeting
at the Cooper Institute last evening. Edward
Cooper presided, aided by a large number of vise.
presidents. The only speakers were Den. Leslie
Coombs, of Kentucky, and the Douglas candidate
for the Vim, Presidency, the Hon. Herschel V.
Johnson, of Georgia. Mr. Johnson reiterated the
statement frequently made by hint in this cam
paign, that the election of Lincoln would endanger
the Union, although he did not consider that fact
of itself sufficient to justify secession. He made a
strong appeal to the people of New York to defeat
the Republican party, and thereby save tha
country from disunion, anarchy, and civil war.

reported at $1,300,000, and the same ordered to be

Park Benjamin at Musical Fund Hall
Last Evening.
A large audience was Resembled at Musical
Fund Hall last evening to hear a leoture by Park
Benjamin, Fosq. The lecture wee a poem, and was ,
noticed by us when delivered in this city more
than a year ago. The lecturer promised to de
liver it last evening with the "modern improve
ments," and he kept4word .;
so that it was not
only as good as wheat° last gave it before a
Philadelphia audience—which to these who heard
it then would not be small praise—but better.
Me t Benjamin was gratified at his flattering recep
tion, and from the applause which he elicited, his
audience were no less pleased with the evening's
entertainment.
He prefaced his poem with a few remarks, con
, treating the superior facilities for lecturing in this
city, with the want of them in New York. He
was happy to come upon that familiar platform to
state, that of all the balls he had ever lectured in,
from Maine to Missouri, " Musmal Fund" was, in
all respects, the most pleasant. New York, with
all her population and wealth, was sadly behind
Philadelphia in this particular, and he recounted
the pdblio halls of our slater city, from the Cooper
Institute down to Clinton Hall, spooifying their
several defects as ho proceeded, in order to illus
trate this fact; adding that, with the exception of
their Academy of MIAs, New York had no hall
at all comparable with the one he was then in. Nor
was this defeat confined to the leeture-roores of New
York ; her eourt-rooms wore unlit for the purposes
to which they were devoted; that one of their
judges (Pierrepont) had actually, in consequence,
resigned his position on the bench. He woe
pleased also to appear in that hall, from the fact
that in the same place, years ago, ho had lectured
eight consecutive evenings, Sunday excepted,
greeted with audiences such as the proudest tra
gedian might be proud of ; and then, with a few
more compliments, one of which was bestowed
upon the " praiseworthy society at whose instance
he appeared," ho concluded this part of his in ,
troduotion in prose, before commencing his satiri
cal praotioal essay on "The Press."
Having himself for many years been connoted
with the press, he claimed to speak from a per
sonal knowledge of his subject. The editorial fra
ternity of the newspaper press were complimented
In the outset as being of all men the most indis
pensable and the worst paid. Men with loss than
a thousandth part of their talents in other proles
alone amassed fortunes, whilst the editor's life was
an unrequited struggle. Nor could the poseur of
the press bo ignored. Senator Toombs had com
mitted one of his gravest mistakes when he affected
his contempt for that mightiest power in the land.
" Hark ! from the membs a doleful sound," he evi
dently thought in point.
" I sing the Press, prolific theme !"
was the rapturous opening of the poem proper,
and for one hour the various phases of his subject
were passed in humorous review in the anther's
happiest style. Among "the modem improve
ments," Heenan and Sayers, the Groat Eastern,
and the visit of the Prince, figured most consplou
ously. Some of the " points" made in allusion to
these were very fine, and, were it allowable, in a
good-natured waif, for us to emulate the author's
exquisite satire, we might add that a few were
a little too fine, although upon the whole we
have seldom hoard an original poem bettor sus
tained throughout, and rarely as well.
The Italian question was, of course, not over
looked, nor Garibaldi's praises left unsung. Said

mere name was a disgrace. With slanders and
Mehl he had commenced his base career ; but now
that his dotage was begun,
Slanders and libels write no more he can ;
Re stirs poetic slops for Mary Ann."
But, as it would be as unfair ..to form an opinion
of a poem from "here and there a line" as it
would be to estimate the value of a house from a
"specimen brick," we can probably do our read
ers a better service than extending this notice, by
advising them to hear Park Benjamin to-night for
themselves, at the same hall, on a new lecture, en
titled "Fiction and Fact."

Thursday, September 27th, was the day, and the
Urge Ifotel des Avedtes the place, chosen for the
ovation 80 marked by true confidence and hearty
cordiality.
M. J. M. Duval, President of the Assembly,
opened the exercises by saying :
"Gentlemen : On this occasion lot us give a new
testimony of acknowledgment to all those who
preach Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity. The
first toast is to hint whose incessant labors aid the
triumph of the snared canoe of liberty and the re
generation of the African race—Mr. James Rod.
path."
Mr. Redpath, in reply, delivered a speech In
Englieh, which was rendered in French as he spoke
bye gentleman present. After thanking his en
totter:Lore for the honor done him, and alluding to
the work of Abolitionists, he said :
4, The groans of the slaves, the prayers of their
friends, the blood of the martyrs of Harper's
Forry,ihave been heard beforo the Tribunal of the
Eternal. The great wrong will soon oome to an
end. Let us hope it will be accomplished as
peaceably as in Jamaica. I trust that in a few
years we shall coo slavery ranged among the
things that were.
In the name of all Abolitionists who seek by
peaceable means to eradicate slavery, I thank
you, Haytians, for your sympathy; in the name
of my dear friends, the survivors of Harper's
Ferry, and the family of John Brown, I heartily
thank you for your generous gifts; in the name of
those anti-slavery men who believe that the slave
ought to be delivered by force, and who are always
ready to aid in such an undertaking, I thank thee,
beautiful Hayti, country of Potion and Hemlines,
for the lesson thy history teaches and the hope it
inspires.
"Before taking my seat, gentlemen, I beg you
to add to the favors you have already bestowed
upon me, that of drinking with me to Liberty,
Eqaality, and Fraternity—the liberty of all men,
the fraternity of all races, the equality of all mon
of all races, and in all parts of the earth."
President Garrard Wes not present, but sent to
the meeting assurances of hie approval of its ob
jects.
Among the other sentiments LiTered during the
evening were the following:
"Honor, honor, honor to Thaddeus Hyatt, the
fervent Abolitionist, the toldier of the groat cause,
the arostle of humanity, the friend of John Brown
and liedpath."
"Honor, a thousand times horor, to the memory
of our well-beloved brother end cur excellent
friend, John Brown, the illustrious martyr of the
nines of African freedom. May be enjoy the be
nediotion of God."
" Let us drink to the Master of Thought, to the
King of Poesy, to the grandest and moat beautiful
personification of modern demooracy—let na drink
to Victor lingo "
" To M. de Lathartine, the great philosopher of
the nineteenth century.
"May this illustrious writer, who has already
given so many proofs of his sympathy for the thy-
Clans, always show himself to be a worthy apostle
of the liberty of tho blaoks. Let the name of this
defender of the African cause bo upon our lips as
it is in our hearts; his devotion to the noble
cause he defends renders him more and more
worthy of our admiration.

and even many Republicans are fearful that Penn
sylvania will go Democratic. If the (Weber eleo•
Cons in Pennsylvania and other Northern States
go Republican there will be an immense gain to
that party in this State before November. Gover
nor Downey, who has been stumping the State for
Douglas, expreeses the opinion in private that Cal•
ifornia will go for DouFlaa bye large majority,
end the Breokinridge tieket will run behind the
Republican.
It is believed that the Bell and Everett mon
will mostly vete for Douglas.
Senator Gwin and Gen. J. N. McDougal have
been making speeches violently abusive of each
other—each accusing the other of dishonestly re
presenting California at Washington.
It is rumored that a correspondence of a hostile
nature is now proceeding between them, but there
is probably little danger of a duel.
OREGON.
The Douglas papers of Oregon are very bitter in
denonnoing the coalition by whtoh a Republican
Senator was elected.
The President of the Senate, a Douglas Demo
crat, has been burnt in effigy in the county he
represents by the Douglas Democrats. Thisconrse
has probably been resorted to to counteract the
effeot of the charges that the Republicans and
Douglas Democrats are working for a common
object.

GRAND TORCH-MORT PROCESSION—RE
TURN OP THE RIPUBLIOAN BECUTUITOIZISTSI PROM
Nam Faux —Last evening the Republican In
vinoibles, People's Campaign CIO, and the Con
tinentals returned home from New York, where
they had been on a visit to participate in the
grand Republican demonstration held there on
Wednesday evening. The excursionists came
home by way of the Philadelphia and Trenton
Railroad, and arrived at the Kensington depot
about half past nine o'clock—about one hour later
than was expected. The delay was (mused by the
train In which they were on board being compellea
to wait at Princeton and Trenton for trains coming
in an opposite direction. The escort in honor of
the excursionists, consisting of come half dozen
of the Republican campaign clubs of the city,
wee drawn up in line en Frankford road for more
than an hour before the arrival of the train. The
scene presented was very brilliant. The men
wore equipped in their uniform caps and capes, and
each man carried a lighted torch. Besides this,
there were numerous transparencies in the line,
and music in abundance. On the arrival of the
excursionists they marched out from the depot in
full notions, with music playing, and passed down
the line till they reached the southern end of it,
when a halt was made, and the procession was
formed in the following order:
Twentieth-ward Lincoln and Hamlin Olub, bear
ing an illuminated star, with the words " Welcome
Rome," in white letters on a red ground. This
club paraded very strong, having oat over 200
members.
Curtin Guards of Thirteenth ward. ,This or
ganization also turned out very strong, having out
150 men.
Next came the People's Campaign Club, headed
by a fine band of mania. They carried a beautiful
blue silk flag, with the name of the club in gilt
letters upon the front of it. They also had a large
transparency with the name of the club on it. The
men wore eqiipped in capes, and each one carried
a red, white, and bine streamer attached to hie
lamp pole.
Following them came the city Wide-Awakes,
and the stay-at-home Continentals, with a large
transparency bearing the name of the club, and
pledging Pennsylvania to give 50,000 majority for
Lincoln. They also bore a transparency with the
inseriptiou— , i The Minute Men of '56 are the Con
tinentals of 1800."
Next came the Republican Invinoibles, equipped
In their usual style, and bearing a plain transpa,
renoy with the name of the club. They were out
in force, and their marching was unexceptionable.
The People's Campaign Club followed, with a
band, transparencies, lanterns, &o.
Next came the Lincoln Guards of Second ward,
with about one hundred men, with Sage, transpa
rencies, &o.
Lincoln and Hamlin Club of Third ward.
Sixth ward Legion.
Lincoln and Hamlin Club of Thirteenth ward,
with a transparency bearing the words, " We've
met the enemy, and they are ours."
Following them came the Fifteenth-ward Le
gion, and a club from the Twenty-first ward, which
brought up the roar.
The procession comprised about 1,000 men,
and
made a very imposing appearance. It passed over
the following route : Down Frankford road to Gi
rard avenue, up Girard avenue to Twelfth street,
down Twelfth to Chestnut, down Chestnut to
Eighth, down Eighth to Walnut, down Walnut to
Third, up Third to Chestnut, up Chestnut to Se
venth, and there dismissed.
. . .....
Many of the excursionists were pretty well tired
out, and the passenger railway cars running in
every direction from the neighborhood of the
depot wore crowded with them, seeking their
homes as soon as they could. Notwithstanding,
however, the largest number were lg strong In the
faith," and marched over the long route manfully
to the place of dismissal, which was not reached
till about midnight.
PARADE OF THE INDEPENDENT ORDER OF
CADETS OF TENIPTIRANOE—FINE DISPLAY.—This
fine body of lads and small boys paraded yesterday
morning and afternoon. It was the third annual
parade of the body, and in point of numbers and
brilliancy made a very favorable display, and at
tracted everywhere groat attention. The Cadets
claim that these parades cement and enlarge the
organization, add enthusiasm to the energy of the
lads, and otherwise enhance the temperance
cause.
The line was formed on Spring Garden street,
the right resting en Broad. The procession moved
shortly aftor 10 o'clock, and passed over a long
route, embraoing all sections of the pity, m the
following order :
Chief Marshal and aids, mounted. A repro.
sentativo of oaoh seotion in line mounted. Squad
of police. Pioneers. Band of martial music,
Manayunk Section, having a banner containing
the pledge of the order ; also, a pretty silk banner,
with 'ho'nlottoi "In God we trust." Members on
hoz seback. Band.

members were led ed by platoons of pioneers in
gray uniform A barouehe drawn by tour horses.
This contained the committee of arrangements
and orator of the day. Marshal's aide. Band.
Franklin Seaton made a very pretty appearance,
with their new banner, that had been presented
just previous to starting. A small wagon, drawn
by a couple of jocks, attracted more than ordi-
nary attention. Ships and flags wore borne aloft
by the members. Band.
Jasper Section, with handEomo banner, mime
next on the moving panoramic! spectacle. The
members were led off by several platoons of pia
nears ; some were carrying model ships, and
others flags and banners The principal matter
that came under our observation was "Jasper
don't surrender." Marshals mounted. Band.
Pioneers, red shirts and black pants; members
carrying an open Bible. This section was enlivened
somewhat by the appearance of a member riding
on a gray 'mule. Band.
Henry Clay Section, with a very pretty_ and ap
propriate banner. The members were all nosily
attired, and attracted considerable attention.
Band.
Delaware Section, ; with a handsome banner, and
representative of the aboriginal race. Matthias

Cohocksink Seotion came next, and with a prot
ty banner and other insignia, attracted% consider&
ble share of attention. -Band.
Putnam Begin, with banner on frame and hy
drant fountaina on poles Ills brought up the rear
of the parade.
Most of the boys In the sections were dressed in
fanciful cos•ume. There were knights In armor,
Indians in full war rig, Turks with their turbans
and pipes, smugglers, sailors, trappers, Continental
soldiers, do , de. the section had a Western
hunter as the exponent of prairie life; another
hod a young gentlemen in Quaker coat and a flaxen
wig to illustrate William Penn; while a young
man in a neat of colonial cut, with a loaf of bread
beneath his arm, was the living exponent of the
Printer philosopher. The banners, regalia, do ,
were very showy, and the Insignia warted In the
line wore appropriate and striking. The turnout
was attractive, although the persons in the line
were not very numerous ,
NEGRO MINSTRELSY IN PIIILADELPIRA.—
Popular amusements aro necessarily sensual to a
great degree. Men who have labored at accounts,
tradesmen and mechanics, prefer at evening re
laxation something to delight the ear and the eye
—repose rather than thought, broad burlesque ra
ther than labored originality. The 'edure can
never be nationalized like the drama, and tragedy
will not take the place of tke melo-drama or the
burlesque. Negro minstrelsy has of late years be
come the leading amusement of the masses. In
this city the number of Ethiopian concert saloons
Is greater than that of all other places of amuse
ment combined. Between Eleventh and Second,
and Callowhiil and South streets, there are twen
ty-two of these, exclusive of as many more of a
private character, heldiin the rear of taverns, in
basement saloons, ate.
Six of these drive exceedingly lucrative trade's,
and all aro more or less profitable. One place in
Cellowhill street bee nightly audiences of twelve
or fifteen hundred persons ; and another In the
neighborhood of Chestnut street has taken at the
doors, in a single benefit night, seven hundred
dollars. Connected with most of these saloons are
bare, and in several the spectaele is noted of fe
male waiters distributing malt and alcoholic drinks
through tho audience During the singing of
"Home, Sweet Home:" boys scarcely in their
tonne aro taklog the first lessons in dissipation, and
the dearest domestic tunes are warbled to the click
of beer-mugs and the rattle of glasses.
The number of "serenaders" or performers va
ries with the resourous of the establishment. In
ono of the nines referred to, seventy-odd persons
Lemke up the vocal and ballet corps; in another a
single " star" receives $250 per week, end in oth
ers the average nightly salaries reach $lOO.
The performers, as a edges, have little ability
beyond the profession they assume. There are
men of integrity and aptness in the list, but
the great majority of negro minstrels are lacking
in industry and integrity. The bar-room lounger
who has a taste for mimicry and too little premise
for Thespian effect, eventually betomes an Ethio
pian delineator. A number of such spirits league
together and form a " troupe " or company, and
the superior performer becomes a manager or a
" star."
All traces of Intellect In a " serenader " are evi
dences of his inability. Refined, pointed wit
would be misapplied in his profession, and coarse
ness Is indispensable to appreciation. A delicate
pun. a bit of genial humor, a flash of keen satire,
would not be adapted to the promiscuous audiences
which cluster delightedly under the shadow of the
minstrel, bet an occasional vulgarity in song or jest
is not misappreoiated.
The nightly sconce witnessed in one of our city
coneert saloons are of graphic and stirring charac
ter.
The andienee, chiefly boys, whose tastes are
being moulded by the slang epithets and idiotic
grimaces of the negro delineator, following him as
it magnetically linked; the delineator himself,
In dirty fantastic garb, blackened, his white oyes
glaring, blood-shotten, through the cork, and his
motions unlike anythinghuman ; the females dart
ing hither and thither with beer and brandy, the
about from °the galleries, the tremendous encore,
the rush of the ballet, the screams of laughter—
make a confused pioture, mere mournful than
moral, more grotesque than good.
JOSEPII FOSTER ARRY.STED FOR LARORNY.

one o'clock yesterday afternoon, on the charge of
