Our New Arrangement.
Tho continued and rapid increase in the
circulation of this journal has induced us to
purchase ono of Taylor's new double cylinder
presses, and to remove our printing office to
another and more convenient location—thus
prfividing comfortable accommodations for our
numerous staff, and thereby enabling us to
add to the-spirit and energy of all the de
partments of the paper. We hope, hereafter,
to hear no complaints from subscribers on ac
count of the late delivery of THE PRESS.
The News.
The steamship Illinois, on her way from Liver
pool to New York, has put late Halifax for coal.
Her advices have been mainly anticipated. Gari
baldi bad advanced on Capua and taken one
of the bastions. The Royalists, remembering
Voiturno's day, were retreating towards 'Gaeta.
Victor Emmanuel, evidently intending to antici
pate the proposed plan of Garibaldi to proclaim a
slotted Italy fromthe top of the Quirinal, bad an
nounced his intention of entering the territory of
Naples at three different points, on the 11th of Oc
tober. In the meantime, Austria was fortifying
her maritime defences in view of any probable
trouble. A European Congress, on Italian affairs,
was about to beheld. The revolution in Mina was
extending.
The anti-Lincoln parties in Now Jersey have
united and formed an electoral ticket coniiiining
throe Douglas Democrats, two Breckinridgo men,
and two Bell mon, to be voted for at the November
otcotion. All _other tickets have been withdrawn,
and the opposition to Republicanism in Now Jersey
now presents a united front.
The Presidential canvass in New York is being
fought with unusual animation on both aides. On
Saturday evening 'there was an immense Union
meeting at the Cooper Institnte. Considerable en
thusiasm preiailed round about the building, and
in the early part of the evening rockets were dis
charged in front of the Institute. Mr. Joshua J.
Henry presided at the meeting. The first speech
was delivered by the Hon. Charles J. Holum, of
Kentucky, who was followed by Mr. Gerard, of
New York city, &Id the Hon. Mr. Stevens, of Ore
gon, thelehairman of the Secessionists' National
Committee.
A despatch from Washington to the Herald states
that the Secretary of War has censured General
Harney for disobeying the orders of General Scott
respecting the Ban Juan affair. In consideration
of his eminent services, General Harney will retain
his position in the army, and will be allowed leave
of absence fora period, or be assigned to the eons
rased of one of the military departments, as he may
prefer.
By the avrival of the Isabel, at Charleston, wo
have advices from Havana to the 23d inst. There
had been no change, in the sugar market since pre
vleus reports. The crops promised a satisfactory
yield. The Spanish minister to Venezuela, and the
Spanish consul at Legusyra, together with one
hundred and twentyeia Spantsh subjects from
Venezuela, had arrived at Havana. The report
that a fleet was fitting out at Havana to aid Mira.
men in Mexico is denied.
The steamship Now York sailed from New York
on eaturday, for Southampton and Bremen, with
one hundred and fourteen passengers, $107,800 in
specie, and 12.000 pounds of silver ore. The City
of Blanchester sailed for Liverpool on Saturday,
with one hundred and fifty passengers and $150,-
039 in specie.
The steamship Matanzas arrived at New York,
from Matanzas, on Saturday. Her news is of
no importance, having been anticipated in the
despatch received from the Isabel, at Charleston.
Senator Toombs, of Geolgia, made a speech at
Montgomery, Alabama, on Friday evening, on the
issues of the canvass. Tho assembly was large,
and the sentiments of the ore or of the most ultra
character. Among other things, he urged th; re
sistance of Lincoln's election to the death.
The Administration hucksters, in their
anxiety to elect BILEORINRIDGE, now advertise
that they have effected a fusion between the
Douglas, 8011, and Breckinridge parties in
New Jersey, by giving the Douglas men
three, the Brockinridgers two, and the Bell-
Hes two electors. The trick is too clumsy
to deceive anybody. The straight DOUGLAS
Democrats of Now Jersey will never touch
the ticket—they will repudiate it precisely as
the people of Pennsylvania will repudiate the
fusion electoral ticket in this State. At the
moment these Disunion coalitions are presented
to the Democracy of the free States; -the
South is rapidly closing around BRECILLISELDGE,
the Disunion candidate for the Presidency,. and
refusing all fusion. Southern States, hereto
fore claimed as certain tor BELL, are now, put
down for the Secessionists ; and in order to
effect a complete consolidation upon BLUM
MUDGE, BELL and DOUGLAS are set aside as
no better than LINCOLN!
As an evidence of the spirit that prevails
among the enemies of Judge DOUGLAS in that
quarter, we refer to the proposition lately
made by Col. GanDIJER, editor of the Augusta
(Ga.) Constitutionalist, under date of October
22d. As a Douglas Democrat, anxious to conso
lidate the Democracy of Georgia on one elec
toral ticket, he proposed that the friends of
DOUGLAS, BELL, and BREOELNRIDGE should
come together as the Breckinridgers in Now
York, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey have
proposed. This offer was received by the
Breckinridgo Disunion paper, in the same
town of Augusta ; as follows:
"Mr. Douglas is advertised to speak at various
points in the Booth, and will, doubtless, urge his
squatter-sovereignty dootrines as the true princi
ples to guide ne on the question of slavery in the
Territories. Ile may reiterate his determination'
to aid Lincoln to put down, by force, the very peo
ple whom Cal. Gardner would have united to re.
siet him. We could not consent to vote for
electors pat upon a fusion ttchet, pledged to
support him, rules the State as all over Breck•
tnrtdge and Lane upon the true principles of
the Constztutton. We have the same remarks
to make of electors for Bell. Oar opposing wing
of the Democratic party should abandon Douglas
and Johnson, and vote for Breokinridge and Lane.
The 801 l men, also, should come to their support.
If they will not, we shall be glad to see all parties
united in the event of Lincoln's election in oppo
sition to his rule.
"Breokinridge and Lane men ! you stand upon
the ramparts of the Constitution, Stand there
firmly still. Stand by your rights before the elec
tion and after. Sooner or later, your Douglas and
Bell opponents in the South mast come to your
flag."
Who does not see through this transparent
scheme directly into the hearts of the Dis
unionists 1 The Douglas men are to fuse
with Disunionists In the North, so that
electoral tickets may be chosen that will unite
with the solid South in favor of the Disunion
candidate for 'the Presidency; hilt there is to
be no fission between the Douglas, Bell, and
Breckinridgo men in the South, because such
a fusion would reduce the number of Disunion
electors. Will not the Democracy of Pennsyl
vania, New York, and Now Jersey anticipate
this fonl'attempt upon their credulity, and put
their heel upon it on the sixth of November
coming?

tickets can bo accommodated, by sending

Political IViro-Pullers in Austria.
In a Prussian paper, the National Gavelle,,
of Berlin, under the head of Correspondence
froth Vienna, there is a communication rela
tive to the manner in which Austria is mis
governed, which is at once singular and signi
ficant—first, from what it reveals, and next,
because its appearance ina Prussian Govern
ment organ shows that the House of Branden
burg is nothing loth to expose the House of
Hapsburg to contempt and ridicule. The
substance of this revelation we here subjoin:
Three parties now struggle for influence in
the Imperial Court at Vienna. At the head
of the party advocating immediate and straight..
forward Progress, without any arriere pensee,
stands the young Empress. Some months
ago, the Archduke FERDINAND MAXIM!.
LIAN, enlightened by his experience during
his vice-Royalty at Milan, begged and en
treated his brother, the Emperor, to desist
from the narrow and mean system of oppres
sion exercised in the whole Empire ; warning
him that, sooner or later, the same causes
might be followed by the same consequences
in other nationalities. The Archduke left
his country in disgrace, taking with him the
memory of very bitter words from the Em
peror. The Empress exercises a bolder,
more legitimate, and more perseverant influ
ence, and is sometimes more successful.
Every morning, before the reception of
the adjutants, who bring tho Reports, she en.
ters the Cabinet of the Imperial Husband,
there she reigns for a while, discussing and
suggesting the highest questions of politics,
directed only by her heart and patriotic inspi
ration of the right. She has not been taught
history. Ambition and intrigue are strangers
in her heart, but her eloquence flows from her
soul and from her presentiments. She looks at
the exiled Italian princes. She is very much
concerned about her younger sister, who was
lately on the Neapolitan throne. The echoes
of the complaints of so many oppressed na
tions penetrate the walls of the Imperial Cas
tle. She reads in the features of her Impe
rial Husband the cares that devour him; her
heart is rent at the thought of her children's
fate.
The second, the Concordate or Compromise
party, finds in the mother of the Emperor
(the famous Archduchess SornrA) a most
capable, strong, and indefatigable chief. This
party also advised very broad concessions, in
the hope of reducing them to the smallest pos
sible capacity at the slightest change of for
tune.
The third party is the Military Court of
the Emperor. As was said of the French
Bourbon race, by TALLEYBAND, cc it has no
thing learnt, nothing forgotten." Even now,
when the genius of that Monarchy is ready to
extinguish her torch in dismay, that party
relies upon the sabre, mistaking meanness and
obstinacy for energy and power, and cannot,
will not, admit that circumstances may be
ever stronger than the Emperor of Austria.
Amidst the struggle of parties, the Emperor
stands yet, but is shaken by recent events.
He is in a fatal dilemma. On one side he sees
calamities and continual disNrbances, but the
sweet habit of absolute power, too ; on the
other that power's division, but peace and
general satisfaction. "What's in a name?"
he said, not long ago. Certainly the name
does not change anything, but the complete
abandonment of the ancient mode of govern
ing might work wonders, even in these ex
treme moments.
Considering, under all aspects, the politi
cal position of Austria and Europe, (says the
.dugsrbarg Zeitteng,) we always must fatally
come to the conclusion that a Constitutional
form, binding Centralization with Decentrali
zation, is urgent and indispensable. Austria
wishes to renew her truce with Europe, come
to an understanding with her German confed
erates, and shake MY the bonds imposed upon
her by political-religions obligations. Aus
tria, wishing to become the buckler of Ger
many, and to be ready to repel a common foo,
must, at any cost, Introduce positive reforms.
Would it not be a gain for her to abandon that
mean routine policy, that rotten bureaucra
titaf Sys..em, - or-rtiose pat,4 7 -oonockasaicono f hot.
undermine the foundations of the monarchy
Would it not be better, throwing all that trash
away, heroically to take a firm position upon
the constitutional field, where she would find
general approbation? The policy of expedi
ency is every day more impossible. If the
Emperor will entrust the guard of his crown
to his subjects, confidence, regard, financial
resources, and peace, would arise. Those
who advise such a policy are tho interpreters
of the best friends of Austria, from the pa
lace to the humblest log-house.
The Board of Trade Excursion.
All the accounts which have reached us of
the progress of the Board of Trade excursion
through the West indicate that it will not only
prove a very agreeable trip to those connected
with it, but also decidedly advantageous to the
business interests of our city. At every point
it visits it is received with marked attention
and great cordiality. The Western merchants
are evidently as anxious to obtain accurate
information in regard to the business facilities
of Philadelphia as wo aro to disseminate such
knoWledge, and they have given marked mani
festations of friendship and good feeling.
From the numerous conferences which have
taken place between the representatives of
corresponding interests during their journey,
important results should flow. It is evident
that the Northwest and Philadelphia could
promote their mutual prosperity by a great
increase of the trade now existing between
them, and it is only necessary that an exten
sive and intimate personal acquaintance should
bo established to satisfy all parties interested
of this fact.
Of the great agricultural products of the
West—her grain, flour, and provisions—a much
larger quantity than that which has heretofore
been purchased here should find in Philadel_
phia an advantageous market, and a superior
point for exportation. This one subject alone
is worthy of the most earnest consideration.
The great West, with her boundless agricul
tural resources, is capable of feeding whole
nations with her surplus products. It will re
quire but a comparatively few and unimportant
improvements to make our city the favorite
place for exporting a very large proportion of
them. The energy displayed throughout the
whole region, which the excursion party will
visit, in surmounting any minor obstacles
which impede important commercial enter
prises, furnisher an example we should not be
slow to imitate, and there is an ample amount
of business ability here, to establish all the
necessary new facilities, if it is once pro
perly aroused and skilfully directed.
Philadelphia, as an importing city, holds a
much lower rank than she should aspire to;
and it unfortunately happens that, by the cue
tom-house returns, her direct importations are
made to appear much smaller than they really
are, for the importing houses located in this
city annually bring into the country many
millions of dollars' worth of goods through
the port of New York, which are never owned
in that city, but are merely entered there and
duties paid upon them, while they are actually
in transitu to our own stores. And, mean
while, our immense manufactories aro an
nually making up an extraordinary quantity
of domestic goods, many of which aro pecu
liarly adapted for the consumption of the
West, and Western merchants are in the habit
of purchasing them in New York, after they
have been transported from Philadelphia to
that city. Considering that, as a manufac
turing centre, Philadelphia far exceeds in im
portance any other point in America, that
rents hero are comparatively cheap, that for
probity and business fidelity our merchants
hold a much higher rank than their New York
competitors, that we are geographically nearer
the West, and possess superior railway com
munication, it is singular that we have not
already obtained a much larger share of the
traffic we are inevitably destined to acquire in
future, if we do not shamefully neglect our
business interests.
TIIE BODY OF ALEXANDER QUINN FOUND
IN THE SCHUYLKILL RIVER AT VIEE.SIR HET
WEARY —Yesterday morning the body of Alex.
der Quinn, missing and supposed to be murdered,
was found in the Schuylkill river, near Vineetreet
wharf. The deceased was a man of intemperate
habits; and had been last seen in the company
of McLaughlin, at Twenty-third and Hamilton
streets, in the Fifteenth ward. The latter had
boon in oustody einoe last Monday, and had under
gone a number of hearings before the alderman.
Suspicion was strong against him, and a number of
petty circumstances were magnified into evidences
of his guilt. • The body of the dead man has exhi
bited the innocence of the prisoner. No marks of
struggle wore found upon him ; he had evidently
strayed to the bank of the river, and the darkness
of the night, mingled with his Inebriety, had
blunted his perceptions of the danger. The arrest
of MoLaughlin should be a lesson of sobriety to
him. The incident of a drunken spree would have
ne hard with him as evidences of guilt had the
body been mutilated.
Douglas in the South.
STEPHEN A. DotterAs spoke, on Satttrday
last, at Chattanooga, Tennessee, and to-day he
begins his canvass in Georkla by speaking at
Kingston, to-morrow at Atlanta, on Wednes
day at Macon, on Thursday at Columbus, on
Friday at Montgomery, Alabama, on Saturday
at Selma, and on Monday, the sth, the day be
fore the election, at Mobile in the same State.
These efforts of Judge Commas strikingly il
lustrate his foresight and fearlessness. Unap
palled by defeat, he pursues the path he laid
down for himself at the beginning, with heroic
perseverance. Ho saw the necessity for grap
pling with the enemies of his country b the
slave States, and resolved to go there, accom
panied by a single friend—our young and gifted
townsman, JAMES B. SHERIDAN, Esq. At this
moment, when the enemies of the Republic
threaten to raze it from turret to foundation
stone, and when the hearts of all patriotic men
tremble, for the first time, lest these enemies
may bo powerful enough to seduce the masses
of the Southern people from their allegiance,
the services of such a Northern man as STE
PHEN A. DOUGLAS in the South—conscious, as
he must be, that there is no hope of his own
election to the Presidency—cannot be ove
' estimated.
We - perceive that up to Friday last, when
Judge Dona LAS spoke at Nashville, Tennessee,
no attempt had been made to commit personal
violence upon him, although this bad been
threatened by the Charleston Mercury, the
Memphis (Tenn.) avalanche, the Petersburg
(Va.) Bulletin, and anticipated by Colonel
Gnaw:En, in a late number of his Augusta
(Ga.) Constautionalist. If the knowledge that
sueh services as DOUGLAS is now rendering to
his country are being discharged in the midst
of danger to himself, and in the teeth of a ra
pidly-concentrating Southern fanaticism, does
not close the lips of those who are assailing
him in the free States, then all magnanimity
has departed from politicians.
SwINDLING THEIR FRIENDS.—Forney & Co-,
at Philadelphia, Laumen & Co., at Reading, and
Daldeman & Co., at Harrisburg, firms doing a
heavy business in the straight -ant trade, are said
to have won an immense amount on Curtin's eleo•
(lon. A great deal of it was won off the honest
portion of the Douglas men, who did not suspect
the treachery of their leaders, and therefore staked
their money on Foster. The gains of Forney, Lao
man, and their associates in this gambling opera-
Con are af t down at sixty thousand dollars.
Straight-oWDouglasism pays pretty well at that
rate.—Valley Sptrtt, Clumberiburg, Pa.
We copy tho abovo paragraph for the pur
pose of informing our friends, R. J. Hamm
armt, lisq., of Harrisburg, and Gen. GEO. M.
LAUHAN, of Reading, that wo aro greatly in need
of our portion of the sum which it appears our
offending trinity won on the election of Col.
CURTIN. Having conversed with both of these
gentlemen sinco the election, and nothing
having been said by them on the subject, we
take this public opportunity of calling their
attention to the fact. Tho small amount of
twenty thousand dollars—our share in .. ' this
successful venture—will be singularly accepta
ble now, as we have just been at a large ex
pense to provide a new steam press to work
oft the rapidly-increasing edition of this jour
nal. Col. HAT.DEMAN can havo no hesitation
in honoring our draft, inasmuch as he has
more than enough of this world's goods, and
Gen. BAUMAN is so renowned for generosity
that we have no doubt he will send it from
Reading on a special train. Should our friend
of the Valley Spirit (who has been carrying
a great many burdens for the last three years,
and been compelled to submit to a vast wear
and tear of conscience, in order to bo worthy
of the favors of the Administration) be out of
pocket because of his over -confidence in Mr.
BUCHANAN and his virtuous policy, and will
call upon us on his next visit to Philadelphia,
it will give us pleasure to reimburse him and
all forlorn et seceders" out of our portion of
the winnings.

Distrust of Demeeratio instincts and examples,

denied until ho mounted the Presidential chair.
Vain alike of his person and his acquirements, and
aristocratic in his bearing and his tastes, he con
trived, during many long yenta, to hide hie real pun.
pose under an exterior of frankness, and to disarm
the suspicions of tho Demos racy by continued profes
sions of attachment to their principles. Scarcely
had his foot to%ohed the Presidential stair, how
ever, end ascended to the seat of the Chief Aloes
traoy of the United S'atee, before ho sot about
gratifying his own purposes and fulfilling the pro
phecies of his opponents. Nearly all his late efforts
havo been to establish nristooratie or monarchical
principles. Ilia war has boon one persevering,
relentless crusade upon the rights of the people,
upon free opinion, upon independent action, and
upon the American Press. To deny to the majority
the right to rule; to attempt to make. the minority
States, although resting upon the institution of
slavery, the controllers of thelnajority States; to
orush out furless journalists struggling for a living ;
to arraign the popular branch of the Legislature;
to make the Executive superior to Congress, and
invulnerable to attack or investigation ; to mis
read and misapply the Federal Constitution; to
buy votes like Walpole, anti cell offices like Ba
con; to prate economy, and to revel in the most
frightful corruptions ; to cow the seeds of disaffec
tion among a happy people; to break up popular
Conventions, and to hunt down the candidates of
the toiling millions; and, finally, to aid and en
courage aspirants to the Presidency whose success
must inevitably destroy :our
. country ; these are
hie works. What foreign foe could have done co
much to lower the American character, to endanger
the American Union, and to render it an easy prey
to those who will hail the downfall of republican
Government on these shores as the triumph of des
potism all over the world?
Hence, whoa Mr. Buchanan received the Prince
of Wales at the White House, with open arms, be
welcomed him, not only as the representative of a
friendly Power, but as the representative of roy
alty. lie entertained him, accordingly, with rare
refinement and dignity. Here the 0. P. P. was
playing an honest character. Since the depar
ture of Baron Renfrew and his suite, the regal
odor file the marble halls of the Presidential pa
lace. Little °ln is talked of but "my Lord"
this, and "my Lady" that. The President revels
In his experiences at the various European courts,
and delights in contrasting the public mon of the
old world with those of the new. If he wore not
now greatly advanced in life, ho would make a
tour of England and Franco, in order to realize
the reciprocal affection of congenial rulers, and to
receive the felicitations of those who look upon
him as their groat agent in demoralizing and
bringing into shame republican institutions on
those shores
Among the other kingly pleasures in which the
household of Mr. Buchanan occasionally indulge,
that of sailing in the royal revenue cutter, the
" Harriet Lane," seems to bo preferred. That
beautiful oraft has been a sorter Cleopatra's barge
to the ofbial aristocracy at this and other points.
It cerriodjthe faithful to Charleston when they went
there to breakup the Democratic party, and to pre
pare to destroy the Union, It bears them to choice
watering places whenever they desire to relax
from the over-heavy duties of office and of society
in Washington. They float upon it to and from
Mount Vernon, and when the Prince reached South
Amboy, the " Harriet Lane" received him into her
friendly bosom, and here him in her arms to those
of the waiting thousands of Gotham.
A. few days ago, when Secretaries Cobb and
Thompson went to Now York for the purpose of
more effectually spreading tno virus of disunion,
and in order to terrify the merchants into the be
lief that nothing, in the event of Lincoln's election,
could save them from utter bankruptoy and ruin,
they had Pm Apician saturnalia on board the royal
yacht Harriet Lone. The two Secretaries, with
Collector Schell, (the übiquitous and never-opened
Schell,) and a number et ladies, gave a day to
pleasure, appropriately closing by a visit to
" Washington Heights," where the chaste and
costly hospitalities of Mr. and Mrs. James Gordon
Bennett awaited them. I am not permitted to
describe the splendor of this entertainment. Ben
nett lives like a retired East India nabob. Of the
thousands he has amassed, and is accumulating
from the Herald, a large sum has been appropri
ated to the purchase, improvement, and beautifi
cation of Washington Heights. Nothing that mo
ney can obtain is withheld/ in order to add to its
attractions. But he pines for society. He longs
for the presence of the gifted and the pure ; for the
assooiation of statesmen, scholars, and divines—
in other words, like most fortunate men, he
aspires for something unattainable. All other
wishes gratified, ho yearns to be forgiven for
his long war upon the best and most upright
men of the country. Every such visit, therefore,
as that of the Cabinet and their ladles is a God
send, and Bennett cannot bo too grateful for the
honer thus conferred upon him; particularly when
his recent and reneated assaults upon Secretary
Cobb, including the most serious charges, are re
membered. The Secretary of the Treasury, the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, turns the prow of the
royal yacht to Washington Heights, accepts the
eagerly offered hospitalities of its owner, and for
gives him for all his bitter sayings of the past, as
a significant intimation that all he may write on
the other side, hereafter, will be acceptable.
It is a pity that the President and his household
cannot employ the Harriet Lane to waft them to
Wheatland. Unfortunately, they must travel
there like other human beings, in ordinary oars
and over ordinary railroads.

before the threatened catastrophe of secession.
Having sown the storm, and now being called upon
to reap the whirlwind of disunion, he has neither
the courage nor the weapons to stay its progress.
If he follows the lead of Mr. Cobb and Mr. Thomp•
son, ho loses all hold upon the other members of his
Cabinet, and will be compelled to close his days in
the South. If he takes a middle course, he will
fall between the two extremes without the respect
of either. The next ten days will be full of inte
rest. The almost certain election of Lincoln; the
violent threats of the firo•oators the apprehensions
of patriots of every party; the intrigues of those
who ekpoot to participate in the spoils of the new
Administration ; the distrust and sensitiveness in
financial circles, will give to everything that may
transpire between now and the sixth or tenth
of November, an aspect of the gravest im
portance Let no indulge the hope that Provi
dence will continue to preside, and watch over this,
the last refuge of the oppressed of all the nations

The piece Is a good sensation drama, with some
striking situations Mr. Edwin Adams and Mr.
Wright, as Landry and Latour, have shown them

most artistioal in this part—though Mr. Adams is a
better general actor. Miss C. Jefferson end Mr.
Bowers also merit praise. Mrs. Gladstone did
little more than look pretty as Uathertna Duval—
's part which may be said to net itself. She ranked
as only a accond•rete performer when a member of

We copy the following from the Sunday Dis
patch. We have had no time nor opportunity to
inquire into the merits of the question involved,
but rather than do injustice even in appearance in
a matter of this kind, we insert tho article, at the
risk of wrong to one of our own ostablishinent. It
is a law with this paper to report the proceedings
of all meetings fairly and impartially ; and if in
any ease this fails to be done, whether through re
portorial license or any other cause, the instance Is
exceptional, and without the approbation of the
editor : _
Aart-SLAVERY °mos, Saturday i flot. 27.
To THE EDITORS OF THE SUNDAY DISPATCH—
Gentleman I ask the privilege of baying through
your paper, as affording the earliest opportunity,
that the account of the anti-slavery meeting at
Kennett Square in this morning's Press is grossly
unjust to the society which held it, and personally
injurious to some of its members. It contains
things that aro not true, and perverts others that
are, in a way to give them the effect of falsehoods.
I acquit the editor and proprietor of all inten
tion, in this matter, to do injustioe. The article
was inserted by a reporter, who had, doubtless,
purposes to serve, inconsistent, in his judgment,
with a strictly truthful statement of foots As
secretary of the society, and correspondent of a
newspaper, I had made a faithful report of all the
proceedings, a part of which, at his request, I gave
the reporter. He thanked me, and hoped I would
not be disappointed when I should,see an account
In print, as he would have to dress it up end "put
a flash heading to it, in the style of the New York
Herald." I said I did not care how ho headed it,
or what he added, if only he published the pro
ceedings faithfully. 1 was willing to trust them
for a refutation of any unfounded comment or in
ference of which they might be made the subject.
But I End, on opening the paper this morning that
a largo portion of the proceedings are omitted ;
that others, written In the flash and perversive
style of Bennett's Herald, are added, and that
the whole is presented in a form so incoherent and
defective, and in some of its parts so exaggerated,
as to make a most unjust and injurious impression,
I don't believe the writer meant any harm to
the Anti-Slavery Booiety or any of its members ;
he acted under a false impression of tho rights and
duties of a newspaper reporter. His object was to
get up a sensation article, and in doing E 0 to per
beim subserve oertain other purposes deemed by
him important at thisconjunoture. Ho was doubt
lees also under the impression that a dish thus
cooked and served would be more acceptable to the
owners of the paper, and more palatable to its
readers, than a plain ungarniehed statement of
facts ; an Impression, which, in justice to both, I
believe to be wholly unfounded.
Wo Abolitionists must rest under the aggravated
odium of this article with what patience we can.
Such burdens we are accustomed to bear. We can
bide our time till the slow, but certain march of
truth brings our vindication. The injustice done
to ffir. Purvis, however, by the wanton reckless
ness of this article, might possibly prove more
serious. Ills position is somewhat peculiar, and to
make him an objaot of hostile observation at a
time of excitement like the present, is, both for
his and other people's peace, a rather dangerous
experiment.
I will conclude by saying that if anybody
wants to see a correct report of what was said and
done at the Kennett-Square meeting, they may
find it at this office in the forthcoming (next Satur
day's) number of the Anti-Slavery Standard.
Respectfully yours,
MoKist,
Corresponding Secretary of the Pennsylvania
Anti-Slavery Society.

BARBECUE IN THE TWENTIETH WARD.—
The ex-roasting on the Ridge avenue, opposite the
passenger railway depot, was the occasion of stir
ring and humorous scenes on Saturday last. It
bad been announced that a huge Allegheny ox
would be roasted with a calf and sheep The ant
mils consisted of an ox, weighing 745 pound'
colt weighing 286 pounds, and a sheep of
wards. The ox was put over the fire on Friday
learning; tho calf and sheep were sent to the bakers
and appeared upon the grounds at three o'clock
P. Ti!., in a number of smoking stewpans. Tho
ox was chained or spitted en a pole or axis, which
wss made to turn over a hot fire ; the drippings' of
grease fell into an under lying trough of boiling
water, which, as each unctuous drop mingled
therein, steamed and hissed in a 'very violent man
ner. The appearance of the ox wound upon the
axis, an apparent mass of putridity, the flavor of
which freighted the breeze with nausea, was cal
culated to disgust all delicate perceptions.
The crowd was very largo, comprising every va
riety of individuals, irom the juvenile retailer of
peanuts to the beef-eater in the sore and yellow
loaf
The grounds presented the usual spectacle inci
dent to such demonstrations A number of urchins
hitched themselves by a long rove to asmall wagon
on woodsn wheels, and ran the ox bide around the
lot. The spot, it may be mentioned, stands on the
Ridge avenue, immediately opposite the spot where
the celebrated mail robbery was committed in 1830,
or thereabout, by Porter and Wilson.
In one plane we found the small woman, designed
as " ono of the seven wonders of the world.' The
other six, in the shape of some bipeds in knit.jaok
ets, and pants of hyena plaid, stood curiously
around, variegating the showman's descriptive re
marks by some extemporaneous witticisms more
pointed than delicate.
There was a beggarly array of national flip
hanging in a sulky, criminal way from a few
stumpy poles. Under these emblems of the thirty
odd sovereign States, almost as many vendors of
the national beverage dispensed yeastic beer at a
half dime a mug. Tho lad with peanuts was
also represented, and miniature gingerbread,
mounted on wheels, peregrinated from end to end
of the green expanse.
The roast, by which we have separate and dis
tinct reference to the ox, was pronounced worthy
of distribution at four o'clock. Thereupon, with
the assistance of a stumpy black man, a butcher
proceeded to out from the haunches, shoulders, and
ribs, sundry fragments of the average dimensions
of a unman hand, with which a half dozen tea
waiters wore heaped. These, being placed upon a
table, were seasoned with copious quantities of
salt, and ouch slice sandwiched with sea-biscuit.
Au individual then mounted the table, and said
that at the blowing of the bugle, the "feed" would
bo given out. Straightway the crowd, which had
been slowly accumulating around the enclosure,
was agitated as with a sudden hunger and the call
for " grub" became very grievous. The dividing
fence was shaken almost in twain, until a stalwart
policeman tore off a plank and belabored the
rowdies.
Tho bugle was blown; the rush was tremendous
The " groat unwashed" set up a fearful shout, and
the meat was " meted out." Volumes of crackers
were tossed over the Sea of heads; a slice of beef
was tossed full into some gazer's face, dripping its
disgusting liquor over coats and hats. Even this
did not avail, and suddenly rallying, the table and
stand were broken down by the rowdies, who filled
the area, made way with the beef and completed
the disgusting picture.
Thus passed away more than a thousand pounds
of beef. We saw one wee begone man who carried
a basket, repulsed from the table; the fragments
which the ruffians, who were fed, trampled under
foot, might have gladdened hie ohearless dinner the
following Sunday. And in the blighted meadows
of Kansas, where thousands of woman and children
era creeping In want and praying that the aurae of
famine may he removed, the magnificent ox would
hero been an argument quite as effectual no the ory
in the East of " land for the landless "

gathering
FIRE IN WALNUT L .: TRIM—DAMAGE $lO,-
000 —On Saturday afternoon, about four o'olook,
a fire broke cut in the five story brick building,
No. 130 Walnut street, below Second, and for is
while it threatened to prove very destructive. In
the basement of the building Mr. Charles P. Ralf
hod some 200 bales of cotton packed away, and in
this portion of the building the fire originated.
Mr. Rolf, with his head porter, had gone to the
collar for the purpose of counting the boles, the
lost of which had just boon deposited. They took
with them an encload lantern, when the porter
stumbled, and, falling, broke the glass, and than
ignited the loose cotton. Bath Mr. Rolf and the
pastor endeavored to extinguish the flames, but
withisut rucleas, and they then gave the alarm.
The firemen were nail on the ground, and al
-1 though the floe was confined to the cellar, it
burned stubbornly for over four hours. Water
was turned into the cellar, but owing to the drains
leading to the D:ck.street culvert, great difficulty
was ex, , erionced in flooding out the fire, whims
persis'ecl is smouldering among the packed cotton.
It was not until the water in the culvert was
bucket up that the fire gave way to tho hremeu.
The less of Mr. Relf is estimated at about $3.000,
which is fully covered by insurance.
The conduct of the firemen was admirable,
and
clic; tcd the warmest admiration of the merchants.
In the upper portions of the building there was a
qmmtity of valuable goods. On the first floor,
Messrs. Patterson cE Bolton had samples of liquor,
and them were damaged by the smoke. The FO
cond story was occupied by Charles Tete, Ma
torttr of fine cigars, of which there was about
_' , 5,000 worth in store. In the fourth story, Mr.
Fstocis Peters had $2 000 worth of furniture
stored y and in the fifth story a stock of
whisky and other liquors was stored. and owned
by Messrs. Mackey v Wallace. Hone of these
gentlemen suffered from the water. At an early
hour, Chief Engineer Lyle issued orders to the
firemen prohibiting them from throwing water
into any part of the building except the basement.
Hare the floors were cut through to facilitate
operations, and the only water used was on this
portion of the building. Thus the damage was
mostly by rmoke, except to the
cotton, end the
whole less will be about $lO,OOO, whiob is covered
by insurance The steam-fire engine of Dr. Jayne
was in use by the Southwest; Hose Company, and
did effective service.
The buildings on tho oast and wed of the burn.
ing store wore somewhat damaged by the water

MR. REEDER'S ADDRESS
Governor Reeder woo then Introduced. After thank
ing the meeting for their cordial reception, he proceed
ed to discuss the policy of agitating the questions of the
dep. 'Change is the order oi the day, and it is the win
(tom of Providence in governing the universe. This
will he found to pervade the animal and vegetable life,
in all the world of mind and matter. All is change,
universal change, except truth itself, which remains
forever fixed.
With this as a starting point the speaker proceeded
to castigate those claiming to Le "°onset valve" who
are forever denouncing . this " agitation." These phi
losophers would have the world stand still. They ig
nore the agitation going on alt around them, and they
were very much in the condition of the mall who stood
at the door of 14 Gales ark and refused to take passage,
concluding that it wasn't rein; to be much of a shower,
after all!
There is another class of philosophers, who expect
the Democratic) party to cure all the ills of this life.
The speaker had, n, t long ago, met one of these philoso
phers, who had every reason to be dissatisfied with the
conduct of his party towards him, but he persisted in
sticking to it because it was the Democratic party.
There were many things in this contest of which the
R e publican party could bo proud, but there were two
things of which they had particular reason to let I pride.
Ono thing was that their opponents did not attempt to
meet them and combat their principles, as Oct forth in
their public declaration of principles—their oreed and
proclamation. c.nother thing was that all the other
Parties ti ere in no fear of each other, but were disposed
to unite nosiest the Republican party, hoping thatwhen
the lvg fight was over, and the big enemy slain, they
would have some chance in the seramble to ensue.
Tim speaker then reviewed the different parties. corn
moncing with that of Gerrit Pmith, whose principles of
negio-stealing differed in but one resent front those
entertained south of Mason & Dixon's lino. The negro •
stealer in the Fouth took the black from his home and
his country for gain, while the negrn-stealer in the
North helps the negro to steal himself from the noires

vatives." who want everything to stand still. They.
however, were not worth while wasting time over, an
they had shown their strength in the Late contest. They
were thy victims of their own invention. In their de-

election: [applause.] But they deserved credit for
their success en propagandists of their own principles.
They have so far eucceeded that they have made
converts of the Democracy, and that party now ignores
them!
The two wings now claimed the attention of the
speaker. and they received some hard hits. Reclaimed
for too Rcpubhcars that they now upheld the principle.
which had at first belonged to Dea.ooraeY, as established
to Thomas Jefferson.
He said allthere Wan of value and of rub tones in the
creed of Democracy IS now to he found oat+ fin Re
publicanism. Ile life and soul and heart and brain we
have, while two deinomliztd factions are fighting
over its empty and shrivelled skin.' One of these fac
tions (or parties, if you will) has a singular history.
and a singular composition. Born of an accident. and
against the will of its founder. he would have gutted it
it he could, after its immediate purpose was served,
hut it had grown into a power and a consoientiommess
which was beyond his reach, and it oompelled him to a
course of action which he had never contemplated.
Composed, therefore. of a set of followers mostly
honest, patriotic, and sincere. tied to a leader whose
correct ambition overleaps all those eonsiderations,
and whose dogged resolution is his only recommenda
tion. warred upon by the African Democracy with a
bitterness unparalleled, and its prominent men out
lawed and proscribed forever by their former menet
atee, it is impossible that its organisation can be long
'interned, unless it can get the control of the politics of
'he South.
It is true that Mr. Douglas had the best of the argu
ment on the score of consistency in creed • but when
we know that the great virtue of the party is to be
progressive in the advocacy of slavery. t hat would
scorn to be of little account, especially as his enemies
charge that lie agreed to move on with them in that
direction, if the Supreme Court would lead the way,
which it has done That he would have kept Dos
pledge when he crone back to the Senate cannot be
doubted. He had melted a party for his re.election.
which. whea that was accomplished, had served his
purpose; and he wen ready to dispense with them.
But they were men whose wonscienoes and judgments
revolted at the increasing demand for fealtyto
slavery and whose manhood was aroused at the in
telerade arrogance of the slave power, even inside of
the party. They demanded of their leader a per
manence of organization , and a resistance to these
demands, which,however it surprised and annoyed him,
compel ed obedience. Thia was the chanter of accidents
that gave rice to the Douglas party. With these honest
friends at the North demanding of him to stand firm,
with his ambition and hie touthern friends drawing
him forward, inconsistencies of doctrine in his essays
and hie speeches were a necessary consequence. To
Once them up would be an amusing and interesting
task, but time does not serve. Suffice ft to say that he
has met these exigencies in a manner that few men
could have done, and that he owes his success in this
to his audaoity, his ability, and the absence of all scru
ples.
But what shall we say of the other fragment—the
ruling. controlling power, e s it certainly is, of the party.
I insist that it has well earned its title of the African
Democracy. That organization. call it what you will,
is in this contest our natural and prominent foe. Our
issues are with them. We are Antagonistic in identical
lines throughout. We take isms with them on every
disputable point. term the questions of protection to
American labor, of gratuitous lends to the free white
man, and upon the rent overriding quote ion of slaveryextension,
extension, wo face email other with well-understood.dt.
varsity of ornion. But whatever the questions of dis
pute may which ere cannot
tracelect of contention be
tween us we back to the question of
slave and free labor. Labor of one kind or the other
is indispensable to a nation as blood or breath to the
human body. Experience line shown that the freeman
and the slave cannot and will not occupy the same field.
The one demands, and is entitled to hare, as a part of
the reward for performance of his duties to (moiety. the
respect of the comely, full toleration in equal rights,
unobstructed accesta lies high places of society if he
can climb there, a corn or support for himself and
family. and the means of educating his clrldren.
The free working man is not only entitled to these as
a matter of undoubted naked right, but he is only a.
dumb man and a blind one, cumbering the busy paths
of life to little purpose, who cannot see the t. as a mere
matter of policy, it is the highest and plainest interest
of society to grant them; and that 'humanity and right
aside) the working man will cost the residue of society
less in this condition than in a condition of degrada
tion. The slave does not demand. and as a stare alone
is not entitled to, any of these, for if he had them he
would he no slave. Under the se stem of slave labor he
onn be allowed no rights, hardly that of life
Education and information must he denied tom. All
the coma sin of food, and lodging, and clothing which
he gots are to as' gauged by the necessity of preserving.
the health and strength which are the property of
hie master, and of stimulating his forced labor. A
miserable pittance clothes him—a peek of corn meal a
week feeds him tie can have no wife or children that
lie can call his own, any more than the cattle which ho
drives.
It needs no argument.to prove that these two systems
of labor cannot mingle. Slave labor cannot endure the
competition. Free labor scorns and tennis it if it can
he avoided. The slaveholdere who rule the African
Democracy would force the competition and sustain
the slave, by the backing of their capital and the favor
of the Governmeet, until the free working-man is
driven in disgust from a field of labor where the me
chanic' is bought and sold in the market, or sinks to the
level of ignorance and degradation appointed for the
slave.
Having accomplished this in the slave States, the
controlling spirits of this party, filled with the idea that
this country is made for the African and hie master,
seek to Africanizo the ToTitories also, whilst Inci
dentally they are grasping at every addltronal right
in the States of the free working man, which a Federal
court of their own complexion oan give them, no
matter by what new and startling perversions of the
Constitution. Laboring in the same direction, and to
the same end, thor seek to import against the law, or
by change of rho law, no matter which, new hordes
of their favorite Africans to strengthen and enlarge
the system ; whilst they demand our contributions
of money ter negotiation, std of men and blood for
wars, to acquire new lauds 'which are either African
tzed already, or peculiarly adapted for tne process.
States which have declared their asthma:ices to adopt
their African labor find them willing to throw the
doom of the Union wide open for their admission.
Stares whirl, raiser the banner of free labor have the
hounds and wolves of slavery turned loose upon their
soil, whilst the, statute book end the courts are Closed,.
and these freemen are then told from the high places of
