fro/n. California and the Pacific coast have, been
Anticipated' by the posy express. There were
of trouble between Peru and the United
'States. -As far as the Liuie Thompson, Georgiana,
and Sartoria claims were concerned, the ultimatum
of our Government bad been rejected. It was ru
mofred that minister would demand
bts passport. The Peruvian frigate Callao was
sunk at the dry-dock of San Lorenso on the 12th
of October The aooidentoccurred by the staunch
ions of the deck giving way, causing the vessel to
ieei -over and sink. Over one hundred and fifty
'lives were lost; including a number of men, women,
and children,.who were siekin the hospital. The

in Bolivia bad been suppressed, several of the lead
ing insurgents being shot., Jn Nicaragua Marli
nes was at the head of‘affairs. Minister Dimitry
wM endeavoring to arrange with him for the settle
menVpf ’Amerioan claims, but thus far without
success.' There- was some difficulty between the
American and British forces, occasioned by the
arrest of. an American officer for refusing to re
spond. to the challenge of a British soldier. Pana
ma was in a state of excitement, on acoount of
rumors that were in circulation relative to another
attaok on the town by the negroes. The troops are
eUU on guard. 1
. Intelligence from.Cblna to August 25th has been
received, in this city. The rebels were expected at
Shepghae every day, and measures of deforce
were being inaugurated by the foreign residents of
that city. A volunteer rifle corps, consisting of
foreigners, was about to be instituted. Mr.
Ward, tho Ameno&n minister, and Lord El
gin and Baron Gros, the ministers of England
and France, were in the vicinity of Sbanghae.
Later, advioos, by way of Hong Kong, .state that
the rebels had made an attack on Shangh&e, but
were compelled to retire. The Ofaincso were con
fident Of being able to defond their oity, although
''the rebels wero in the neighborhood preparing for.
another attack. In addition to this, details of
China news to the 18th of August Ore furnished by
a correspondent of the New York Times. f From
ibis we learn that the allied fleet bad anchored a
few. miles from the month of the Pei-ho on the 30th
of July, and the debarkation commenced on the Ist
August—the French securiDg'thehonorof firsthand
tag .by jumping into the water and wading ashore.
The forte of the Peh-tang Village, having been pre
viously abandoned by the Chinese, were ocoupied
by the allies next day. The position of the Chi
nese on the* Pei-ho river is represented to be a
very strong one, and, in addition to these fortifi
cations, they have two bodies of troops, one num
bering 40,000, and the other from 40,000 to 50,000.
It wai expeoted that the attaok wonld certainly be
made on the 12th or 13th, as a longer delay might
result in. a great deal of sickness, from the malaria
of the marshes. Mr. Ward, our minister, was with
the ‘ allied, fleet, as was our entire naval force on
the station. This faot gave great dissatisfaction to
the .American residents of Sbanghae, who could
not aee the neoeßslty of two American war-steam
ers at the Pei-ho, especially when Sbanghae va®
threatened by a rebel force of 20,000, which was
reported to be only four miles off. The whole
available fores in the oity to defend it was only
about 1,500 men. ‘
< The Baltimore journals of yesterday furnish de
tails of the Wide-Awake parade_end Republican
meeting in ihat oily on Thursday evening. Tho
demonstration attains any significance it may pos
sess from the political novelty it presents of & Re
publican parede being held in a pro-slavery State.
The parade was very final),' the escort of police
men being larger than the politioiana in parade.
There wore many marked and disorderly de
monstrations of disapproval and contempt as the
procession passed ovor the route, and but for the
presence of the polios forco and the energy it
manifested, one of those bloody scenes peculiar to
Baltimore would have been enacted. The mooting
at the Front-street Theatre was a scene of boister
ous and uninterrupted confusion. Among tho
speakors, or rather those who attempted to speak,
we see the name of E Jcy Morris, of this oity.
No. action of a serious nature took plaoe, although
bricks and other missiles were thrown at the
prooesaion.
We learn from New Orleans that on Wednesday
night there, was a fearful and'fatal aooident on tbo
Mississippi .river. The dVestor took place on
board the steamer 11. H TV. Hill , a vessel well
known to travellers ou the Mississippi. The HtU

when her boilers exploded and earned the death of
thirty passengers. Some forty or fifty others
Wore scalded.. The frequent recurrence of these ter
rible dilasters on Western waters only admonishes
'us, for the hundredth time, of a necessity that ex
ist* for more stringent and effectual legislation on
the part of Government relative to the dangers of
travel, and- tho negligenco of thoßo constructing
and conducting the vessels ou the lakes and rivers.

TTe loam from the Louisville • Journal, of 'a
late date, that ih irae of his declamations in
•'Kentucky, ho distinctly stated that the election
of Lincoln would bo followed by the immediate
secession of three Sonthern States, and that,
if Kentucky wished to unite with the Sonthern
'Confederacy, she must rote for Bkeokihrime
on Tuesday next.
"What do our Breckinridge leaders say to
this? -What do the honest Democrats of
Pennsylrania say to this ? Those leaders un
derstand the policy of Mr. Yahoei and his
associates. They know that the disorganiza
tion at the Charleston Contention was pro
duced by Mr. Yakoey and his friends. They
know that tho attempt to break np the Balti-
more Convention resulted from the same in
fluences. They know, too, that Mr. Yahcey,
only two years ago, announced his belief that
■the,American Union could not stand, and that
the trno interest of the .South was to leave
this’ Union. . They now soo that, in the face of
the recantation of Disunion sentiments during
his late tour through tho free States, he has,
since his rotnrh to the South, placed himself
upon the ultra ground that the election ol
Likcoln would be succeeded by the secession
of at least three Southern States.
This was Mr. Yahcey’s declaration in K
tucky.’and was, doubtless, not made tvlthout
the fall concurrence of Mr. Tice President
Bbeckihuuxje. What he will say when he
speaks in New Orleans, on Monday nbxt, may
well be anticipated. The Democrats oi Penn

the distinct ground that every Breckinridge

‘if for granted that this electoral ticket will be

tlou Immediately after the sixth of November
is, whether the men who now claim ■ the De

The Battles For and Against the Union. ]
When Miss MAnriiiEAu visited this country,
in 1834, sho iound the American people very
much agitated by the exciting political ques
tions which wore then warmly, discussed, and
whon she met Henry Guay, who was one of
the most activo combatants in the angry strife,
at Washington, she expressed her fears that
Our Government would inevitably be destroyed
by the dissensions she witnessed. He smilingly
assured her, howover, that in this country we
wore always in thomidst of a terrible “ crisis,”
and that there was little doubt that all the ap
parent dangers then existing would soon bo
happily dispelled. There never was a Govern
ment establishedwhichhas been as frequently
and as bitterly assailed by those under its do
minion, as the Federal Union; yet, it stands
to-day unequalled in the history of the world,
for the beneficence of its operations, the prac
tical benefits which it has bestowed upon its
citizens, in all sections of the Confederacy,
and in the ardent attachment felt for it by an
immense majority of the sensible, practical,
thoughtful men of the country, despite tho
mad ravings, domagoguical appeals, and foolish.
and absurd attacks of noisy fanatics, scheming
conspirators, and crack-brained agitators.
Pope wrote that “whatever is, is right,”
but wo have a somewhat large class of politi
cians in America who reverse this maxim, and
contend that whatever is, is wrong.” Tho
American Union, being a great and beneficent
reality, extending its broad tegis of protection
over our whole country year after year, and
thus conferring incalculable blessings upon the
millions of happy people whom it guards from
foreign aggression and from all serious inter
nal political calamity, has naturally attracted
a largo share of assault from tho impracticable
spirits whoso chosen mission is to produce
disordor and convulsion, and whose perverted
judgments and uncontrollable passions perpe
tually incito them to political deeds of folly or
wickedness.
• Ever since the Union was established, it has
been the target for thousands of poisoned ar
rows. At one period the assault comes from
the North; at another, from the Central States;
at another, from the South. It has always a
host of active enemies in tho field. 'When one
division of its assailants retires from the con
test, because experience shows them the'im
potence of their attacks, now combatants ap
pear ip other quarters, to learn like their pre
decessors that they.may as well “bay tho
moon ” as attempt to destroy this great Con
iederacy." If onr Government had been a
delicate, weak, and sickly organization, it
would long since have been demolished; hut
tho very fact that it haß withstood bo many
assaults, and up to this period accomplished
so many important results, is a powerful rea
son why no pains should now be spared to
perpetuate it. Fortunately, it has always been
so strong that it could defy opposition, and,
thorofore, treason has been outspoken. We
have no volcanic fires slumbering in our midst,
roady at some unexpected moment to burst
forth in a violent and destructive eruption, or
to tear the earth beneath onr feet asunder.
Ho who wishes to antagonize tho Confederacy
publicly proclaims bis plans and inten
tions, and his avowed programme, like the
picturesque delineations upon jho canvas of
a travelling side-show, generally exceeds the
realities of his performance. Indeed, it is a
marked characteristic oi those who, in Ame
rica, attempt the role of conspirators, that
they shun the secrcsy which alone could make
them dangerous, and court publicity; they do
1 not, like pugnacious Britons, when their anger
1 is aroused, give a word and a blow, and tho
blow first; nor, like stealthy Indian braves,
rush upon their adversaries, tho American
people, at an unsuspecting moment; hut, liko
Chinese warriors, they loudly sound tho Dis
union gong, in the apparent bopo that they
will thus fill with dismay tho soul of tho na
i tion, and render it an easy prey to their as
saults.
Tho cry of Disunion began the very moment
the Confederacy was formed, and, with rare
exceptions, it has sinco been almost constantly
ringing in tho national ear, now loudly and
defiantly, and anon in low and gentle tones.
The Administration of Washington was beset
with numerous 1 difficulties. So strong was
tho opposition to the excise law of Congress
in tho western counties of Pennsylvania, that
it was found utterly impracticable to enforce
it. Finally, tho Whisky Insurrection broke
out in undisguised hostility to tho enforcement
of tho Federal authority, and it was at length
deemed necessary to call into tho field an
army of fifteen thousand men, to suppress it.
And the eloquent appeals for the Union, con
tained in the Farewell Address of tho Father
of his Country could only have been elicited
by tho most profound and painful conviction
that it was seriously endangered. Tho Admi
nistration of Adams aroused tho most bitter
and indignant hostility. A portion of Penn
sylvania again broke out into open rebellion
against tho direct tax which had been levied
by Congress; the alien and sedition laws en
countered terrific opposition, and a disruption
of. the Confederacy was repeatedly threat
ened. The contest between Jefferson
and Bubr for tho Presidency, when the
, fMim TflTrtri JjjQ
scheme lor a great Southwestern Confederacy,
to include Mexico and a portion of tho Ame
rican territory, which was happily nipped in
the bud. During the Administration of Jla
dison, the memorable Hartford Convention
was called together, and disunion as warm
ly advocated in How England as tho best
remedy for the alleged grievances of that
period, as it is now in tho Southern States.
During the Administration of Moheoe tho ter
rific contest in regard to tho admission of Mis
souri into tho Union occurred, and it occa
sioned as much excitement and as much angry
Bectional foeling as any moro recent strifes.
During tho Aministration of Jackson South
Carolina boldly unfurled tho flag of nullifica
tion, and in tho most determinod and formal
manner imaginable defied tho Federal Govern
ment. With the scqnol tho whole country Is
familiar. During tho Administration of
Van Buren petitions from tho Aboli
tionists for a peaceable dissolution of the
Union; became a favorite mode of agitating
the slavery question. During the Adminis
trations of Tyler and Pone, while the an
nexation of Texas was under discussion,
somo of tho ultra Northern Legislatures an
nounced, in the most solemn manner con
ceivable, that their States would inovitably
secede if the Lono Star was permitted to en
ter the American galaxy. During the Admin
istrations of Taylor and Fillmore, tho Com
promise Measures of 1850 were adopted, after
a series of tho most exciting debates ever
witnessed in our country. Their Southern
opponents set up tho standard of rebellion
against them, and ondeavored to form an irro
sistiblo secession organization, but they were
defeated in every State, while, in tho North,
a conservative spirit aUo became almost uni
versally predominant. During tho Adminis
tration of Pierce, tho Kansas-Nebraska act
was passed, tho terriblo strife in Kansas
was commonced, and an exceedingly bitter
sectional sontiment was aroused. Then Bu
chanan cam# upon the stage of action, with
full power to calm tho storm which had too
long been raging, hut the South suffered her
self to ho betrayed into an indefensible posi
tion, and by her unwise advocacy of the Le
compton Constitution, by tho promulgation of
tho doctrino that slavery must be carried into
all tho Territories against the will oi their in
habitants, by trampling down the national
men of tho North who had been tho most
sincere, faithful, and effective champions of
her. rights, by secoding from tho Charleston
and Baltimore Conventions, and nominating
a Secession Presidential ticket—she made the
triumph of tho Republican party and tho
election of Abraham Lincoln almost inevi
table.
And now, with tho history of our country
full of admonitions which must impress every
reflecting mind with a profound consciousness
of the benefits of tho Union, as well as of the
wisdom which those who hayo gone before ua
showed in forming it, and in faithfully pre
serving it, despite the numerous, reiterated,
and almost incessant attacks to which it has
been subjected, new plotters of treason are
ft.day busy in forming schemes to undermine
the Confederacy, and alarmists are loudly pro
claiming that these efforts will prove success
ful. It is true, that many a veteran who had
escapod unhurt from all the dangers of de
structive battle-fields was finally lulled by a
trifling disease. But unless, as a nation, we
are bereft of reason—unless all tho patriotism
which every past peril has promptly evoked
is utterly destroyed—unloss all pride in our
common country, and all rogard for our ma
terial interests, are swept away, we will still
cling to the Union as «tho shipwrecked ma
riner clings to tho last plank when night and
tho tempest close around him.” After our
National Government has withstood the nu
merous assaults which have boon made upon
it, and proudly omorged from them all, not
only uninjured, but absolutely strengthened,
by each contost, as brawny arms are strength
ened by vigorous exeroiso, surely it ought to
be supposod capable of encountering all the
perils which 'may be necessarily involved in
the election of another President by tho same
constitutional- means which have prevailed
hitherto, no matter in what section of the
Union ho may reside, or to what party ho
belongs. *
“Our American Cousin” m Court.
Two years ago an English playwright, bear
ing the euphonious and aristocratic name of
Tom Taylor, sold a farce-comedy, called
“ Oar American Cousin,” to a namesake of
his—a clover actress, commonly known as
Laura Keene, whoso name in London is said
to have been Sally Taylor. This lady has
an establishment at New York, called “ Laura
Keene’s Theatro,” well managed and popular,
at which she produced tho farce-comedy writ
ten by Taylor, emphatically called “ Tom.”
An effective piece, and well acted, “ Onr
American Cousin ” was a decided hit.
However, tho Taylor callod “Tom” had
no right, legal or moral, to sell this play to
tho lady—bo hor given-name Sally or Laura.
He had written the pieco for an American
actor—Mr. Joseph Silsbee, now deceased—
and the leading character, Jtsa Trenchant, a
Vermonter in England, was written up by
Taylor lor Mr. Silsbee, the said “Tom”
knowing nothing of American peculiarities.
Silsbee paid Taylor for tho play and brought
it over with him to this country, but died be
fore ho had a fitting opportunity of bringing
it out on the stage here. Tho play was his,
for ho had paid for it—doubly his, tor he had
ail but written tho leading character, which
gives a name to the composition. On his
death, it becamo his wife’s property. But,
after that event, Taylor, called “Tom,” con
stituted himself residuary legateo to Silsbee,
and sold the play to Laura Keene. Mr.
Silsbeb’s widow sold her copy of it to Mr.
William Wheatley, of Arch-street Theatro,
who produced it with great success, where
upon Laura commenced a lawsuit, without
having a leg to stand upon—this we say meta
phorically, affair Laura has a pretty pair of
pedestals of her own, which tho public have
often seen, in silk tights, at her own theatro
and at Wallace's.
The esse between the rival managers hap
pened to bo brought before Judge Cabwala
der, who, after taking great pains and de
voting much time to an investigation of things
in general (since the Deluge) and of the his
tory of tho Drama in partiGidar, gave a judg
ment, tho mere reading of which in Court oc
cupied about five hours. Wo are among the
outside multitudo who have nevor been able
to decido wbat this longitudinous judgment
was—we only know that it did not |pttle tho
case. All that wo could infer Irbm it was
that tho Judge did not think that Laura
Keene hod a legal ownership in tho play
which, years before, Tom Taylor had written
for and sold to Jos. Silsbee, and that, there
fore, Mr. Wheatley should pay her for in
vadlngupon rights which—slio did not possess.
Wo may bo mistakon, but this was the im
pression which Judge Cadwalader’s five
hours’-monologue left upon onr mind.
Tho learned and lengthy Judge delivered a
subsequent decision, which, like the first, de.
elded nothing—save bis own incompotency to
understand and deal plainly with a plain caso.
Yesterday ho went ft the case again, tooth and
nail.*
This time, he gives “ an opinion as is an
opinion,”—not Bunsby .himself could have
done it moro logically. Ho says : “ This
cause having boon heard upon tho pleadings
and proofs, and admissions, and argued by
counsel, and considered by the Court, it ap
pearing that tho complainant’s literary propri
etorship of tho comedy in question is derived
from a non-residont alien author, tho Court is
of opinion that tho complainant has no copy
right thereon, or statutory right of exclusive
dramatic representation thereof.”
In Birnplo words, Laura Keene has “ no
copyright in tho play, or [nor?] statutory
right of oxciusivo dramatic representation
thereof.” Wo hreatho freely. Our friend
Wheatluj 18 out °* tho wood. Laura Keene
has justly lost her cause, and must pay tho
costs, Mr. Wheatley’s as well as hor own.
Not so fast! Although Laura Keene has
no copyright in the play, nor right ol exclu
sive dramatic representation, Judge Cadwala
ber adds: “ Tho Conrt is of opinion that as
the said comedy has not been printed, and
has never been published, otherwise than by
theatrical representation, and ns tho com
plainant’s own theatrical representations of It
wore not tho means through which tho de
fendants were fairly enabled to represent it,
their unauthorized theatrical representation of
it uras such an infraction of the rights of the
complainant as entitles her to relief.” That
is, as Mr. Wheatley’s acting copy of “ Onr
American Cousin” was that written for him liy
tore oxumr keune produced the play, ho has
committed “an infraction of her rights.”
What rights ? The Judge had-said, two mi
nutes beforo, that she had no rights of copy
right or of oxclusivo dramatic representation.
Yos, Judge Ca»walai>ek says Ladha Keehe
has uo rights, but Mr. Wukati.et should
have had “ such a licenso, under her hand and
seal, accompanied with a written copy of the
said comedy, as would havo authorized and
enabled the defendants, after adequate prepa
ration, to brlDg out tho said comedy at their
theatre, on fho 22d of November, 1858, and
represent there, and afterwards, without re
striction or limitation, as it was then nud af
terwards there performed.-” License for what ?
Lauba Keehe, who has no copyright or ex
clusive right of representing the play, to li
censo its performance by Mr. Wheatley, who
had purchased tho original play from tho
widow of its real owner, Jos. Silsbee. With
all duo respect for Judge Oadwalade#, his
decision is sheer nonsense—absurd and illogi
cal. '
Ho rofors tho case to tho Master, who is di
rected to do a variety of things in and for it,
and he expatiates on what is to be done if thore
bo an issue to find the value of tho license, &c.
Think of that! Tho valuo of a licenso, to ho
granted by a lady who has no literary nor dra
matic copyright, and tho valuo of a copy of
tho play, although Mr. Wheatley, two years
ago, paid hard ensh to Mrs. Silsbee for the
original ?
Wo dismiss this case for tho presont. If tho
Master could order an issue to ascertain if
Judgo Cadwaladeb’b wits were wool-gather
ing, in the muddle ho has made of this case,
wo know what tho verdict would be.

luterosting and Curious.
In tho month of November, of last year,
Mr. Henry Sartain, of this city, wrote on
the back of bis card, bearing bis address in
Philadelphia, and placed it in a bottle, which,
having securely corked, ho threw into the sea
in latitude 51 deg. 20 min., longitude 29 deg,
32 min.—that is, about fifteen hundred miles
northwest from tho coast of Franco. Just
eleven months from that period ho waited on
Mayor Jlmnr, in answer to. a note from that
gentleman, and, to his astonishment,'beheld
the identical card and writing which he had
cast on the waste of waters in the middle of
tho broad Atlantic. Tho bottle had been
pickod up on the French coast, at Tamos, in
the maritime quarter of Bayonne, and its con
tents sent to the Minister of Marino, at Paris.
He transmitted it to the United States De
partment of State, at "Washington, whence it
was forwarded to the Mayor of Philadelphia,
who handed it back to its author a day or two
ago.
Schcuselle’s “House ol Bishops.”
We have oarefully examined, with groat satis
faction, Mr. Soheusolle’o original drawing of tho
House of Bishops of the Protestant Episcopal
Church of tho United States, of which aorayon
lithograph engraving, dedicated to Bishop Brow
nell, who presided at the last Conference at Rich
mond, will be published before Christmas, with a
Key, and fao-sinriles of autographs. Tho English
edition, in a more expensive form, but of only
equal value in fidolity to the original drawing, will
be dedicated, by .permission, to the Prince of
Wales, and will not appear until a much later pe
riod. This picture contains over forty full-length
portraits of the Protestant Bishops of the United
States. • These aro very adroitly introduood, also
portraits of the four EDgUsh-ord&ined Bishops, who
may be said to hare commenoed tho lino here.
Terms and place of subsoribfog will bo found in
our advertising columns. Asa work of art, thisuol
leotion of portraits will rank high; to tho members
of the Protestant Episcopal Churoh, it will bo very
interesting. The profits dorivodfrom tho solo of

WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE
[Correspondence of Tbe i'resn.l
The excitement concerning the coming eleotlon
* very great in this oily Bnsinegfl is more than
dull, and our merchants end business men com
plain bitterly. Tho Metropolitan Bank, ono of
the principal basking institutions in tbe Distriot,
refusod yesterday to sell drafts on New York, pur
porting to have no money to draw there. To havo
notes discounted Is almost impossible, as many
timid men have withdrawn their deposits from the
banks, intending to await tbe result of the elec
tion. The excitement was still increased when the
nows arrlvod yestorday afternoon that two bank
ing houses In Baltimore had susponded payment.
I! there is to bo a crash, it will bo felt in tbe
South as well as in the North. But oar Scceders,
instead of gaining by having created this panic,
will be the lor^ra; for it will prove to the South
ern merchantfand capitalist# that the lios which
bind tho together aro of sach a cha
racter that If torn osunder by ruthless bands their
prosperity and welfare must necessarily rcocivo a
mortal check. Instead, as the Seoeders expect, of
voting for Breokinridgo, the conservative portion
of tho Southern Democracy, especially all those
who havo something to lose, willvoto against him.
You see that disunion is a two-edged sword, cut
ting both ways.
Tho nows from New York seemsdo bo more fa
vorable to the Union ticket The financial' orisls
will induoe many a poor man to gb to the polls.
Tho discharging of tho Gorman journeymen tailors
in Hoboken and IViHlamsbnrg by their employers,
on tho plea that if Lincoln should he elceled tbero
will be no more work for them, is a hard blow. But
whother it will induce the rural population, who
are not immediately touched by a financial crisis,
and who oan easier stand it, to ohsngo their votes
and go for the Union ticket,ijftWT Siii Tuosday
able—. AA-iir-imfuo~l?T£or timll Is generally ex
psoted.
Tho Washington Star, one of the bitterest and
most abusive papers against Douglas, is trying to
beoome reasonable. Its editor, who rcoently was
ousted out of the Breokinridge Club, soeing that
Lincoln stands a good ohanoo of beiDg elected, is
gradually forsaking his former friends, and conn
soling .peooo and submission in oose of Lincoln’s
eleotlon, stating that Lincoln will be oonsorvativo
enough for the interests of tho South. Howovor,
in order to keep Mr. Buohanan in good bnmor,
and to retain tho olfioial patronage, whioh hns
made the editor a rioh man, he launches oooueion
ally a vituperative and slandering arliolo against
Douglas, whioh satisfies tho 0. P. F. and recon
ciles him again with tho erratic Star.
According to tho Treasurer’s monthly statement
tho amount on deposlto is $5,317,179 ; drafts pays
b!e, $1,510 806, and amount subject to drnf
$3,800,663.
The Constitution of this morning glorifies in
tho ruin of tho country. It has a long article
headed “ The Impending Crisis,” wherein it tries
to prove that, if Breokinridge is not ejected,
something terrible will bofal the oountry. Bnt
Breckinridgo will never be President, and yot tho
country will live. Kaita.

THE GREAT LINCOLN PROCESSION.
Final Demonstration of the Wide-Awakes,
Kirill, TliouHarul Men. in. .Lane,
Last evening was the ocoasion of tho final and
culminating appearance of tho Philadelphia He*
publioan clubs Tho evont woo celebrated with
the usual eclat ohamcloriatic of tho arrangementsof
the leaders of that party, and in many respects
the affair was eupeiior to anything of the kind
we have yot witnessed.
The public are satiated with descriptions of long
miles of light and moving acres of men j tho ex*
citeinent of the campaign had roaCted in a groat
surfeit of enthusiasm, and we shall devote only a
6hort column to tho display and Ha iooidonto
Tho assistants oonvoyed to tho sepa
rate oluhs intimations of their places in the march,
and thoy wore directed to bo at Broad and Chest
nut streets at eoven and a half o’cldolc precisely.
At that hour there was not a Wido-Awako lantern
in either street, although the orowd of spectators
was very great. The equestrians first appeared,
in various stages of development of man and boast.
Thoy wheeled with circuitous supplenoss, and tho
horsca wero noticod to whisk theircaudal appenda
ges as if Wido Awake, nocording to the exigencies
of tho ovoning. Tho latter, it may be said, was
oloudy, and tho streets moderately slushy. Tho
air was moist, but not keenly philling. Broad
streot, in the moving of tbo equestrians, and the
silent gathering of thousands of men, presented
the appearanoo of a rendezvous, where conspiracy
was about breaking into open rebellion The La
Pierre frowned duskily into tho night, tho lamps
fromia fow windows glaring cheerlessly down, and
far down tho broad avonuo, on olther hand, tho
sentinel gna-lights kept their misty vigil 3 The
steps of dwellings, chnrohe3, etc , were thronged
with girls and women They met the rude ogling
of lads and men with varied timidity and boldness.
The order was good.
TOR WIDB-AWAKBS IN LINE
Tbo clubs mnrohed up tho various avenues to
ward tho cite of formation; tho visiting clubs woro
recrivcd at tho various railway depots, and es
corted to their placo in line, and the clubs of citi
zens wore provided with lanterns and bndgos from
a largostock in a' furniture wagon. A few clubs
were hooted at the corner of Tenth and Chestnut
streots. The equestrians extended a distance of
three squares. Tbo marshals galloped down the
lines to sec to tho proper distribution of clubs, and
finally, at half-past 8 -o’clock, tho torches wore
lighted—the streot was ablaze—music sounded
from a score of bands, and tho Wide-Awakes

accompanied by three brass bands, and b*?ro two
splendid banners—portraits of Henry Clay. Tbo

seems, had not influenced them. Porhaps one third

Speech of Senator James A. ISnyartl* oi
Delaware.
X " " CT ookin
..ugetraa Lane o co e«,Li.j
of tho Central Association, comer of Tenth and
Chestnut etreots, to listen to an address from James
A. Bayard, Dnitod States Senator from Delaware.
Tho hall was tolorably well filled, hut tho speaker
wos eo.frapiently interrupted by delegation rush
irg up Chestnut street to participate in tho torcb-
Ijvbt precession of tho Republican pnity, and
spoke in so low a tono, that his remarks were
scarcely nudiblo fen feet from tho platform.
During (ho evening, the "Wilmington Breckinridge
Club, having lanterns and banners, entered tho
rocm and were loudly oheered.
Robert P, Kane, President of tho Club, intro
duced Mr. Bayard to his audience.
In commencing his address Mr. B said ho did not
claim to bo an orator, but wou'd endeavor, in a clear
and common reuse manner, to diecu6s tho political
questions which wore agitating the entire country
From his earliest reeoJJeo'Jons ho had laid down a fixed
rule that a speaker should appeal to the intelligence,
reason. and common sense of his auditors, and not to
their prejudice and passion. Ho who adopted the let
ter method was neither more nor locs, than a dema
gogue.
.He proceeded todiFcuss the roBitionsof tl.efourpar
tieft ocooprmg tho fold in the presentcontest. A party,
to be successful and parrrnnent. should have gome defi
nite and fixed princtple upon which to stand. Tim flell-
Hveretta announced thehnselvesin favor of the “ Union,
tiio Constitution, and tho enforoement of the laws.”
This was not a distinctive feature, howevor, as all na
tional parties would uphold rhe snmo doctrines. While
ho find great respect for Mr. Kell. «*b a man, ho did rot
consider him a fit candidate for the Presidency, Tho
Douglas organization ha considered a purely personal
party
Itslcador, as far ns intellectual endowments were
concerned, was certainly a great leader, and was en
deavoring to sustain anu embody his party upon the
principle of popular sowsreignty. Who was there m
this country who ever d s nied tho justico of popular so
vereignty? It wna very easy to uso cant terms, and
that was one of tho terms adopted by Mr. Douglas. If
they would take his doctrine ns he meant to apply it to
tho Territories of the United States, the speaker would
endeavor to show ihat it was nn absurdity, and disor
ganized all Sovornments, and that everything like the
r-al principle of suffrage was ontircly put in defiance.
It was a remarkable tiung that none of tho supporters
of Mr. Douglas undertook todefondthe doctrino wluoh
ho called popular sovereignty. His own colleague on
tho ticket, Mr. Hersohel V. John'on, was known to
stand jjj direct antagonism on Ihe question upon which
Mr. Douglas oskn the people to vote for lum for Presi
dent of tbo United Mates. The determination to sup
port, and tho attachment to Mr.' Douglas, was inspired
by nothing more than that affection whioh oftentimes
must'and would riao'upin every community, irspiring
• hem to follow a man in all his aberrations, and whioh
bad little to do with the principle or dootrin© upon
which lie pretends to stand. Itwas one of the results
of high intedeotual endowment, but it was one which
tho people of a free ropublio should steadily guard
against.
There were four parties found in the field, and ono of
them—the Republican party—is in diroot hostility to the
principles epon which this Government wvis founded,
and, if its permanency should bo established, it would
inevitably break down the compact wluoh was given io
us by our anoostors. The Nntional Demoorstio party,
whioh nominated Breckinridge and Lane, hod for its
platform the equality of the States, which was the gene
ral principle now, and had always been its distmotivo
orecd jn time past.
The speaker then referred to tho compact formed by
our forr fathom, establishing the equality of tho States,
and denounced the Republicans, as an organization
that would plungo our country into a warn re whioh
would lead <to tho destruction of a Government wluoh
had done more for the progress of mankind than any
winch had oyer existed m the history of the world.
Tho platform whioh was adopted by the National De
mocracy at Charleston, and rejeoted i.v a more mi
nority. and finally led to the disruption of the Conven
tion at Baltimore, was the one adopted by that party
at Cincinnati, in ISM, with an explanatory resolution.
.What ho supposed the great principle involved in the
present oon’ent was, ns to the extent of tne authority of
the Federal Government over tho Territories, whioh
had been acquired by conquest or otherwise, and the
proper mode of exeroising that authority.
One of the resolutions of the platform was, that the
Government of a Territory, organized by an act or
Congress, is provisional and temporary. During its
existence as a Territory, the people had equal rights to
settle there with thoir property, and tho Government
of the United Stages was bound to proteot them while
thev remained in a territorial condition. . .
The speaker then referred at length to tho privileges
of inhabitants of any sootion of tho Unitod States to
settle in those Territories with their property, no mat
ter what it oonsisted of, and urged that it was the duty
of the Executive to see that ail classes wore protected
so lone as the Terri'ory romnined in that condition,
Tho Republicans united to prohibit the slaveholder
from removing to the Territories, and thus reserve for
the uso of ono section that which was acquired by the
ooramoo blood of our whole country. By this means
thoy wore destroying the fundamental prmoiplo upon
whioh tho Constitution was based, and it be
hooved ail good citizens to do everything in their pow
er to defeat an organization with a platform so baneful
in its effects. Heoritioally explained the doctrine laid
clown in tho Constitution in regard to this subject, and
maintained that the Dreokinrjdge party wore in favor
of tho admission of any Territory as a State when it
should havo noquired tho requisite population, and its
nonple had decided whether it should be a slave or a
froo State. The Republicans were animated with but
one sentiment, and that was hostility to tho institution
of olaverr,and their leadors had asserted in their opeech
o* that those States roust all eventually bo slave or free.
■i his ostabhehed them beyond all doubt as a purely seo
tional party. Mr. Bayard then went into an elabora’e
argument m support of the poouliar institution, which
he considered ofDivme origin. Repaid glowing tributes
to Brcckmndgo and lane, and urged his hearers.in
conclusion,;© go i» anfully to work, and crush out ihe
demon 'Of fanaticism which was spreading its dark
wings ovoronr glorious Union.
As we have before stated, the greater portion of hta
speech was devoted to t<;o argument of the question of
i.lavo y in the lerntones, and the positions ho ad
vanced are those entertained bv the Breokinrideo

Tub Improvement op South Broad
Street, —A plan of the proposed boalovard parks
along the centre of Broad stroet, from Chestnut
street to Passyunk road, a distanoe of twenfcy
throo squares, whioh it is now proposed to subaii
tuto by a macadamized road, has boon placed on
exhibition at the Philadelphia Exchange, where
those interested can have an opportunity of ex
amining it. The plan folly the improve
ment proposed to bo made, which is one of tho
most important projected in our city for many
years, ft is designed to dedicate the centre of the
street for n macadamized road the wholo of the
distanco, and have rows of trees planted on each
side. Beside* this, it is proposed to plant rows of
trees a'oDg the oarbstone, so that there will be
tour rows ot treos, affording shade and beautifying
this noble thoroughfare. The mansion of Air.
Wattp, at the southwest corner of Broad and Fe
deral Btreots, i 5 rop ? diy approaching completion,
and when finished it will be one of the most file*
gant residonce3 in tho oity, and cortaioly the most
oxponaive one orocted in the lower wards. Toe
property owners in its viotnity intend followiog up
this improvemout by erecting handsome residences
of a co3tly character on their lots during the ensu
ing spring. The lots occupied will be about 100
feet in width, and the dwellings being set bsok
from the street, will afford room for beautiful j
flower gardens in front and at each side. These j
improvements will stimulate others, and there is I
little doubt that before many years the ooal and !
lumber yards will disappear, tbe-present railway ;
tracks bo taken up, and handsome residences wilt j
take tho place of tho unsightly structures which
now roar the beauty of this street for two or three
squares below Lombard street. The proposal im*
Erovoment of tho centre of tho street in tho
andsof gentlemen of spirit and enterprise, who
will push the matter to a successful termination.
In addition to theflelmprovemeotscontemplated,
there can be no doubt that the new public build
ings will ultimately bo located and erooted upon
Penn Square, which will still further add to the ,
attractions of Broad streot, and excite a spirit of j
improvement in every direction by which tho ,
city will be largely the gainer by tho increased 1
ravenuo from taxes. Lots which are now unim- I
proved, and paying only trifling BUma for taxos, 1
would soon be oovered with buildings of a chaste
and elegant oharaoter, and pay into the oity trea- ]
sury largely increased revenue. It ia conceded
that tho public buildings in this location would
show to far greater advantage than any other ell
giblo position whioh has been named. Broad
Streep is 120 feet wido, and is well calculated for
1 public buildings to front on it, there being plenty
I of light and ventilation, whioh could not be ob
l tained in other localities where the buildings would
! be surrounded by lofty structures whioh wonld ef
fectually shut out both, and * fiords also a finer op*
i portunity for architectural display than oan be ob
j tained on any other avenue. The new cathedral, on
Logan Square, would have been seen to far greater
advantage if plaeed on Broad street, while the
beauty of tho Gothic front of the Masonic Hall, on
I Chestnut street, is almost destroyed by the narrow
, nesti ot that thoroughfare
| Colored Families Emigrating to Piula-
I DEiipniA —The Evening Bulletin has heard of
some seVeuty-ave or eighty froo colored families
who have come to this oity from Charleston, South
Carolina, within a few weeks. The reason given
for this unusual emigration is the faot of the pas
: sago of a 1 iw in South Carolina, which requireiall
free colored persons to wear a dlatinotive badge.
1 Tho families referred to had more or less means
at their disposal, and rather than Bubmit to what
they deemed an indignity they have romoved
North. Several families oho wont to New York.
Those who have oomo hero have taken up their
abodo in South, Fitzwater, and other streets in
their neighborhood. Thoy are generally mulat
tocs, quadroons, and other light shades of the
negro raco, and some of them are almost as fair in
complexion as the Caucasian race, showing the
large admixture of white blood” in their veins.
Tho arrival here of these emigrants has caused
quite a stir in colored circles.

their facilities for trade. The well-known and substan
tial house of Messrs. Thomas blellor &' Co., Which hie
long occupied tho foremost place is the city in the de
partment it represents, { Hosier}/, mall it*breaches,?
has within the last few days removed from No. 8 North
Third street to Nos 40 and 42 North Third street— !h»
spacious store occupied by Messrs. Yard, Gillmore, A
Co., prior to the fire which occurred on their premises
m July last. Since then the store has been rebuilt and
. materially remodelled, and is now one of the finest and
1 most spacious business edifices on that important busi
i nesa avenue. It has a massive brown stone front; the
stories are high *nd admirably lighted ; and filled, as it
; is now, with.au enormous stock of Hosiery, Gloves, Un
i der-wear, and Motions, in endless variety,'the whole
establishment presents an air of business completeness
that must forcibly impress intelligent merchants with
! the advantages of buying in a city where this branoh is
represented by first-class houses, rather than patronise
the second-rate, up-Blairs Notion houses of New York#
To most of our business men it is well known that the
, senior partner of this firm is the pioneer of this branch,
: as a distinctive department of trade, in this city* and
for m'cy years he has probably been .the heaviest i»-
. porter of this class of goods ‘n the'country. Lie
| younger partners, now associated with him, are att
thorough business riftn, and having been trained in the
school of thei senior member, are, like him, alive to
the spirit of judicious business enterprise. Buying ex
clusively for cash, tney have great advantages in point
of prices. Large ashave been their operations hereto-
f> re (they sell largely m every State, from Maine to
I oatsiana.Mfteir new ana greatly-enlarged facilities
will necessarily increase them. Already, in fact, they
'have made arrangements to add to their former
branches those of Linens and White Goods, and will.
in all probability. ba prepared to off r the finest stocks
of the latter, to the spring trade, to be found anywhere.
Their new edifice is supplied with every modern con
venience that cruld m the least contribute to the com
fort of their clerks, or the convenience of their cus
tomers. '
Preparing for Winter — As step by fllep an*
tmr.n moves slowly onward to give place to his grim
taccessor, all who are prudent, and have the means—
and most sincere!) do wo pity those who have not—are
auly preparing for the king's reception. We mean the
“ Storm-King,"‘of course. .To-persons of taste—ladies,
wo mean—the Fare Mantilla. Cloak, and Far Empo
rium, No. 7CS Chestnut street, unquestionably presents
more substantial artraction* than any other single es
tablishment m Philadelphia. Their Fur department i
literally “ princely,” ns their Cloak rooms are gorgeous
and complete. In the latter are to bo found every new
design, in every style of mater a!, making jn all a Cloak
Emporium m whioh the ladies of this city, and of the
Union, tn fact (“ now anil forever," we would hope,
may be suited exaotly to their taste. Messis. Proctor
tc Co.’s prices, moreover. are exceedingly moderate,
and their attendants polite. The former, in conse
quence of their extensive operations, and the latter
beoauee they arc ski lUd in their profession as business
men. «
Mercantile Order and SrsTEir Personified.
—lf any one is anxious to have the best illustration our
city affords, of a system of clock-work regularity iutne
conducting of an extensive mercantile business, let him
visit the warerooms of Messrs. Charles Oakford & Sons,
under the Continental Hotel, and observe the order and
system carried out by all employed in tho various de
partments. Nor is this symmetrical plan of operations
confined to the salesrooms merely; it extends through
all the raimfiuationslof their extensive business,from the
le3at important manufaotanng details to their most
remote foreign agencies, for procuring every transst
latio novelty the instant it. makes.its appearance. Its
this that gives Messrs. Oakfords their marked pre emi
nence for the character and elegance of their stook.
and cnab es them to sell the most beautiful and newest
articles at prices no higher than are usually charged for
comparatively inferior goods.
A Modern “ Household God.”—Wo do not in

whioh, more than any other, could claim the homage of
the raee, it is the omnipotent Sewing Machine—oram po
tent lor doing work quickly and well whioh hr hand was
slow and irksome j omnipotent for elevating- to comfort
and resooctahility thousands who, under the crashing
ban of the eternal “ stitch,” were the prey of a poverty
which they could not avert, and too often, in mercy, of
an untimely grave. There, no lata than tho most ho
norable business considerations, have prompted a
wealthy and well-known manufacturing Rtih ra this
oity—Messrs. W. F. Uhlmger &. Co., 'No.' 08 Arch
street—to engage in the construction of sewing m*-
' chines of the_raost.sap*iior quality, on a

their instruments all over the Union, and their rooms*
j here arc daily thronged with retail buyers.'

' ting, with tho best intensions, about trying Professor
J Morris* Bucephalus—a celebrated external liquid pre
i paration for the Nervous System—others ara using iU
l and, to their joy, finding their systems perfectly reju

“How to Succeed in Business” is theoreti-
o.vly understood by thousands, where tens have the pe
culiar tact to put It in practice. 'One of the moatforci-
b’e and oomn on-sense practical demonstrations of the
pUn in question, is furnished by the world-renowned
Confeotionery Establishment of Messrs. E.G.,'Whit
man & Company, Second street, below Chestnut. They
manufacture and sell the finest, vmost, and most deli
cately-flavored confectionery that this country affords;
they let the world know this by experience and judi
cious advertising, and the consequence is, they have
more customers for their goods than any other two es
tablishments in the Union. We havo been toM that the
mere mention of E, G. Whitman & Company's name is
enough to make our reader’s mouth water, end we be
lieve it, as curs invariably does so at the thought of
their delioious preparations. • -
A Popular Medicine.—lt is not often that any
medioine can be truly designated as popular* at least
not m tho doub e sense of being at once an effective
remedy and a luxury to the palate; yet this u unques
tionably the character of “Bower’s Medioated Figs.”
The proprietor of this simple, but efficient, medicine,
Mr. George C. Bower. Sixth and Vine streets, has al
ready received the thanks of hundred* m this commu
nity for supplying this want m materia medica. For
all derangements of the bowels, habitual costiveness
Mok and nervous fcesdiohe,dyspepsia, piles, etcetera,
these figs havo been tried with tho most gratifying re
sults. One of their merits is. that, while they are in all
cas»c safa, they do not debilitate, as do other medicines
employed to produce the s*me result. They are purely
vegetable in composition, are, as already indicated,
pleasing to the taste, and constitute, upon the whole
what we should atjle an indispensable medicine in
every househo’d.
“Resist a Temptation till you Conquer it,”
