Gladstone and Disraeli.'
Why should Mr. Gladstone, at this particu
lar moment, have gone out of his way to com
mit himself and his official colleagues on the
question of intervention in American matters?
"We suspect that he has done so, partly, on ac
count of his intense dislike to Mr. Disraeli.
It may have been noticed that while other
leading publicists, without distinction of party,
have freely expressed opinions on the Ameri
can question— Sir Edward Bur,-
wer Lttton, Mr. Henley, and Sir John
Pakington, his late co-mates .in office, in
cluded—Mr. Disraeli lias carefully avoided
the subject. He is better read in history than
most English statesmen, and knows that if Re
bellion is recognizable as nationality, Queen
Victoria may find the principle applied; very
awkwardly for her, whenever it may please
Ireland “to renew her youth like an eagle/'
to use Milton’s fine image, and rise, in her
recovered strength, in revolt against the cruel
stepmother that has coerced her for centuries.
Then, with the United States to recognize,
and possibly to assist, the revolt, what can
England say or do, if Mr. Gladstone’s doctrine
and policy are quoted against her 1
Mr. Disraeli, as we have noticed, has not
said one word, in or out of Parliament, against
our Union or in favor of the foul rebellion
which assails it. Whether this be neutrality
or caution no one can determine, but it ob
viously cannot be indifference. He is the
most philosophical of British statesmen—a
man who would have found congenial minds
in Temple, and Bolingbroke, and Harley.
Though an impulsive man, he generally acts
aid speaks only after full and calm considera
tion. It is not easy to move him even to anger,
and in this respect he is superior to Mr. Glad
stone, who, in replying to him, has a bad
habit of losing his temper, and of then meet
ing sarcasm by abuse. Disraeli wields a
scimetar as sharp as it is polished, keen and
flashing in his hands, while Gladstone uses a
two-handed clay more ,ratlier too heavy for
his arm, with which he hacks where his rival
cuts mortally. The reason of Gladstone’s
antipathy to Disraeli is unknown. Perhaps
it is simply jealousy. Perhaps it is innate and
unaccountable, like that of the man’s dislike
for Dr, Fill. We have heard that, save the
mark! Mr, Gladstone has aristocratic ten
dencies, and considers Mr. Disraeli as some
thing of a parvenu. It is very true that Mr.
Gladstone’s elder brother is a baronet (of
recent creation), and his wife’s brother is of
the same rank; but, when Mr. Gladstone’s
father was cabin-boy on an African slaver,
Disraeli’s was a man of letters of note and
mark in England, with large wealth derived
from a long line of ancestors who were mer
chant-princes, first in Spain and afterwards in
Venice. In point" of fact, Mr. Gladstone is
as much of a political adventurer as Mr. Dis
raeli, if not more.
; Mr. Gladstone, to do him justice, is not
without some good qualities. He visited Na
ples some time alter the Revolution of 1848,
and, having examined for himself, addressed
a Memorable Letter to Lord Aberdeen, in
which he pointed out tile sad condition to
which tyranny had reduced that fine country.
King Bomba had violated the Constitution
which he had sworn to maintain; had im
prisoned or exiled all the opposition members
of the Chamber of Deputies; had abolished
the Chamber itself; had committed' some
30,000 persons to prison on account of their
politics; bad subjected them to chains, starva
tion, and a‘variety of other pains and penal
ties ; so that the Government, as was strongly
said, was “the negation of God erected into
a system.” Mr. Gladstone called upon Lord
Aberdeen, as a man of influence who had
been Foreign Secretary at various times, to
interfere, either privately or publicly, between
the Neapolitan Government and its victims,
and the result was, that, for very shame-sake,
King Ferdinand was compelled to relax some
of his tyranny. In this, let us confess, Mr.
. Gladstone acted well, and there was justifi
cation for the interference with the Govem
ment hWffvuTnrr
for the interference with this country which he
.now suggests. But the man belongs to the
class of ideologists, which the first Napoleon
very heartily, disliked. In France, they would
call him'a doctrinaire, and he much resembles
Guizot, head of that impracticable class—
that is, rather than give up or modify an
opinion or a determination, he would let Chaos
come again, as Guizot did, in 1848, when he
foolishly persisted in prohibiting the Reform
Banquet of the Deputies, and thereby turned
their wrath against the Monarchy, wh'ch fell to
the ground, crushing Louis Philippe and him
self, in its ruins.
In conclusion, we desire to anticipate what
course of action Lord Palmerston will
now take, after the committal speech of
Mr. Gladstone,- which Mr. Disraeli never
would have made in a similar position. There
are three courses open to the Premier. Either
to disavow what his subordinate has said; or
to accept it as a Ministerial declaration,
which ottered his own policy ; or to say no
thing about it. There are two inodes of disa
vowal—boldly to discredit Mr. Gladstone and
dismiss him from the Ministry, or to nullify
that philosophic orator by writing's, letter or
making a speech of an apparently different
tendency, which, after all, will amount to no
thing. Our own opinion is that Palmerston,
who is a waiter upon political Providence, will
not take any notice, one way or the other, of
what Mr. Gladstone, advisedly or unadvised
ly, said at Newcastle. Mr. Disraeli may be
expected to criticise both Ministers, when
Parliament meets in January. • .
O’Connell.
In the metropolis of Ireland there is not
yet any public memorial of the man who,
for nearly forty years, was the uncrowned
ruler of the land. No memorial of Daniel
O’Connell, a man of great eloquence, won
derful pertinacity, much ability, undoubted
patriotism, and unprecedented popularity.
Averse to bloodshed, and anxious to keep
within the law, that man, at any time from
1815 to 1845, during which his influence was
unbounded, might have effected . a Revo
lution in Ireland by simply raising up bis
land. He refrained, deeply feeling and
feartog the horrors of civil war. He fought a
great battle, in a constitutional manner, and he
won it on every point. What Grattan and
' Curran, Bushe and Plusket had failed to
• do, was done by O’Connell, and what is called
, Catholic Emancipation, won Jjy. him, was really
a great boon to the Protestants as well as to
the Catholics, for it was the triumph of the
great principle of Toleration, whichis the soul
• of true Christianity. The abolition of Tithes,
as payable to a Protestant clergy by Catholic
• non-patishionerß; the reform of the Municipal
Corporations?' and various other acts ’ of
“ Justice to Ireland,” were the results of
O’Connell’s agitation. We need not here re
capitulate what this great man, with some
faults of character and conduct, but with un
dying love of country, did for civil and reli
gious liberty.
, Nearly sixteen years have passed since
O’Connell’s death. At last, the people of
Ireland have resolved to erect astatue for him
in Dublin. The Corporation of that city, in
which he was the first Catholic Lord Mayor
for one hundred and fifty years, have joined
■in the project—and it is believed that sufficient
...funds will readily be subscribed to raise a
: statue of O'Connell, the Liberator, in the
city where ho lived so long, which he loved so
well. It will stand, Irish readers may like to
know, at the, end of Saekville street, near Car
lisle Bridge j one of the best situations in the
. city.- The inscription for its pedestal is al
ready written. At Castle Garden, Ne w York,
\ on the 22d September, 1847, at the invitation
of the friends of Ireland, Mr. Seward, now
■our Secretary,of State, delivered a noble ora-
dioh upon O'Connell, then only a few months
rdeady in which philosophy and history are the
most flashing and solid gems set in the dia
dem ofj-.iiifty eloquence. In that powerful
and ' impressive composition, Mr. Seward
aaid^f'Stop; how and write an Epitaph for
1 Daniel O’Connell ;; He gave Liberty of Oon-
j science ,to .Europe, and renewed the Revolu-
the Kingdoms toward JJniversal Free
" America and had«
been nrrestedbythe’anarcby of France.”
The Dublin Committee err, we think, in
limiting the subscriptions for this O’Connell
memorial to “the Irish nation and the Catho
lics of the "World.” There surely are nume
rous Protestants who, considering O’Connell
as the champion of Civil and Religious Liber
ty, would gladly subscribe to honor his me
mory. Dr. Gray, the distinguished Dublin
Journalist, who has chiefly taken this matter
In band, should extend the privilege of sub
scriptions.
The Two Components of Secession Sym-
pathy.
There are two main components that make
up Northern rebellion —for so, and so only,
must the nefarious sympathy which the South
ern rebellion meets here be called; and we
feel it to be the more important to expose
them in a broad, clear light, inasmuch as the
abettors of conspiracy endeavor to muffle the
hideous outhnesin showy rhetoric and specious
special-pleading. It is not enough that from
the cauldron of their infernal passions and
plottings this veriest hell-broth must seethe
up and spread its pestilential fumes through
the. land, but certain perfumes are mingled,
•with ?it—soothing, enticing, enchanting—and
the people are made to breathe, with a sense
of satisfaction, a sweetened sin.
The first is a certain tenderness towards the
rebels, mildly , suggested, slipped slyly under
neath contrary protestations; hinted vaguely,
oven assuming the garb of humanitarian
charity. It appears in all the speeches now
making in the New York canvass; in Sey
mour’s “delivering and not destroying our
Southern brethren;” in Prince John’s de
clared policy of taking Richmond first, and
then “ letting our wayward sisters go in
peaceand in such a sentence as this of
James T. Brady : “ Southern as I have been
politically in battling for the rights of the
South in reference to the question of slavery
and every other, I would say that the South
in leaving us at the particular time she did did
so without the slightest pretence of justifica
tion or excuse.”
Could insidious disloyalty go farther ? No
word of cheer tor the North; no espousal of
our h r ly cause; no applause of our brave
boys in the field; no panegyric of the tens of.
thousands that lie in grave-trenches; no
recognition even of the principle for which
the North is makiDg this awful expenditure of
blood—nothing but “ battling for the rights ot
the South in reference to the question of
slavery and every other,” though it is done un
der the guise of friendly counsel to the North.
And, as if the meanness of this abject truck
ling were not enough to consign Mr. Brady
forever to the contempt of all decent men, the
traitor dares to stand up in New York and say
that he blames the South only for “ leavingns
at the particular time she did!” We venture
to say—and risk nothing in the assertion—that
Mr. Brady’s Southern philanthropy had no
idea of blaming his pet lor even this. The
simple fact is, and any man who can read the!
words can see it, that Mr. Brady gives his un
qualified approval to the South; but not daring
to promulgate such rank and unmitigated
treachery, he adopts this exception as the
thinnest possible covering for the misshapen
abortion he would fain hide. Such is the De
mocratic platform of New York.
The second component of this wretched Se
cession sympathy is villificatlon. There is a
regular conspiracy among the journals in the
interest ofNorthern heresy to put forth every
misrepresentation that distortion of fact can
suggest; or, when that source is exhausted,
every downright lie that rebellion-frenzied
imaginations can invent; or, wearing this
threadbare, every opprobrious epithet that an
extensive borrowing from plantation slang can
supply. Hence the constant ringing of changes
upon, “radicals,” “abolitionists,” “negro
worshippers,” etc. , to say nothing of outrageous
personal abuse. •
But this is only the surface; underneath
lies something not generally apprehended—
bold defence of traitors cunningly tucked
away in an epithet. For it will be noticed
that, whatever variety of form is given to
. them, aIL these aspersions and charges rest
only upon one basis; it is always and forever,
“ slavery,”" and “ the abolitionists.” Now
before the Proclamation of Emancipation all
this might have passed as mere billingsgate,
but now it has a plain seditious intent. Who
are the “abolitionists?” President Lincoln,
his cabinet, and the whole loyal people of the
Nortb. The powers that be have decided that
Emancipation is a measure absolutely neces
sary tortile public Safety; the people are rife
us, and embrace it gladly. Any sneer, there
fore, at “ abolitionists” is a covert stab at'the
Administration, and through the Administra
tion at the Union, and through the Union at
the culmination of all political truth—the prin
ciple of Representative Democracy.
Let us, then, tear oil" tho veils, and see the
assassinators of our liberties in all the hideous
ness of their moral and political deformity.
LETTER FROM “ OCCASIONAL.”
Washington, October 31, 1862....
I have just seen the following paragraph in
the New York Express of yesterday:
The Texas Expedition.— lf the destination of
the troops bow concentrating in and about thishar
hor really is, as we are told it is, Texas, the Re
publican journals, whether they know it or not, in
“ blabbing” it, are doing all they can to defeat its -
objects. Forney’s Philadelphia Press, yesterday,
came out with full details of the expodifciou, to
gether with the names of the 'commanders,-&c. Of
course, the rebels thus forewarned will he forearmed,
and the result may be that, long before Gens. Banks
and MoClernabd reach Texas, the enemy there will
be largely reinforced withaview to beat them hack.
Giving information to the enemy thus is the worst
sort of “ treason;” audit is morally certain that,if
a Democratic editor were to publish snch informa
tion, Fort Lafayette, Fort McHenry, or Fort War
ren would be his portion. Indeed, we are notsure
that even a moderate Republican editor would not
be punished therefor. The Philadelphia Inquirer ,
we remember, wa# denied 11 telegraphic priviieges”
not long ago for an offence not half as heinous as
this. Only a radical and an officeholder, like the
editor of the Press, oan thus give information to
the enemy with impunity.
If the editor of the Express had taken care
to inquire into the facts contained in my lot
tor of the 28th, he would have discovered that
the rebels have long ago been apprised of
these movements, not through the columns of
The Press, or any other loyal journal, but
through the agency of Secession sympathizers
and spies. He would also have learned that
what I printed was public to all; that he could
have used it freely even in the complaining co
lumns of his own paper. The rebels have not,
however, gained anything by their foreknow
ledge of our coming operationsin Texas and
elsewhere in thp far South. What they do
know only complicates their: plans, adds la the
discontent and . demoraliz alion of their' troops,
and taxes still further their rapidly ex
hausting resources. How long will the men of
South Carolina, Georgia, and Louisiana, fight
in Virginia when they are informed that their
own homes In the Cotton States are to be at
tacked by the fleets and .armies of the Re
public? Will it inspire them with more
courage when they .hear that Texas is to be
delivered from rebel oppression? It is, in.
deed, only a few days since that the success
of one of our expeditions on the Texan
coast was announced as complete. The Se
cession papers of recent date have published
to the people the approaching attack upon this
coast. The Grenada (Mississippi) Appeal
proclaims in terrified tones, which are re
echoed by the Richmond Examiner and Whig,
that the Government of the United States is
determined to push the war in the Gottop
States to the bitter end. When, there
fore, the New York Express, and other jour
nals of that ilk, complain of publications
which are simply intended to almonish the
Secessionists that their own fears are about
to be realized, and that the powerful Govern
ment of the United States has solemnly re
solved to strike the rebellion in its strongest
hold, do they not show that they are more
indignant because this design of the Federal
authority has been declared to the world, than
that any special newspaper has been allowed
to make it known ? Occasional.
The letter from R.B. Lee, dated New York,
April 5, 1790, and printed on our first page,
was obtained in Virginia by one of our sol
diers, and the copy,we print is from the origi
nal.., Read in the light of present events, it; is
a very remarkable production.

FBOM WASHINGTOBr.
Special Despatches to “ The Press.”
Washington, October 81,1882.
From Gen. Sigel’s Army,
A deapatoh received here lent sight from General Sioel
states that no signs of the enemy were to be seen at
Dumfries, Stßfford Springe, Brentsville, or Bristow Sta
tion. Persons residing in the neighborhood of the latter
place, however, expected the arrival there, to-day, of a
train from Warren ton Junction.
There is a rebel picket, sixty men strong, at Buckland
Mills, with sentinels three miles and a half south of
Gainesville. A regiment of rebel cavalry made their ap
pearance at New Baltimore on Wednesday.
A cavalry reconnoissance to Thoroughfare Gap reports
that a great many stragglers from the rebel army are in
the neighborhood.
The reconnoitring party found a rebel picket at the
Gap, which they drove through, when a skirmish en
sued; but, finding the enemy too strong on the other side
of the Gap, our forces retired.
Another despatch, received later last evening, Btates
that information has been received from two contra
bands, who left Upperville on Wednesday, at BP.M.,
that the rebels, 11,000 strong, with twelve pieces of ar
tillery, under command of General Walktb, were at Up
perville on Tuesday, at 3 A. fit.
The negroes eay that Walker, who was fearful feat
the Union forces were marching upon him in too strong
force, had evacuated the place and fallen back. Our
cavalry had advanced as far as TJpperville without meet
ing the enemy in any large force.
General Bayard’b cavalry were at A idle on yesterday
morning. General Bioel’s lines extend as far as Plea
sant Valley.
There has been no rebel patrol seen at Brentsville since
Sunday.
Operati ons of the Navy m Florida
Commander Howell, of the gunboat Tahoma, under
date of the 14th of October, off the coast of Florida, re
port to the Navy Department, that on fee 6th an expß
dition left for the purpose of demolishing some rebel salt
works upon the main land. The expedition consisted
of four boats from the steamer Tahoma and
four from the Somerset, numbering in . all
one hundred and eleven men. Two of the boats
had howitzers. Twenty or thirty armed guerillas
were pat to flight by the shell, shrapnel, and
canister, with which the houses, woods, and underbrash
were searched. Then the small-arm men landed, de
ployed sb skirmishers on each flank of the gnns, and
destroyed the boilers, which ware of various shapes and
curious construction. The houses in the immediate
vicinity were fired, and fee boats proceeded to the next
station. Here the boats covered the working parties.
It was neceesary to put howitzer shell through two very
thick cast iron and two strong wrought iron boilers.
The buildings were then burned.
Jußt after leaving the latter place the cars came in,'
and probably brought reinforcements, as the people on
the shore yelled and shouted, and fired some twenty shots
at the boats. From the sound, they were judged to be
hliisie or Enfle'd rifle shots. None of thein, however,
struck any of the men, nor would they have done any
haim, as the distance was too great. The expedition
was entirely successful. They destroyed some twenty
eight boilers, burned to fee ground ail the buildings in
their reach, besides two upon Way Key. No confusion
was exhibited in landing, nor was there any departure
from fee instructions given prior to it. There was no
nseiess expenditure of ammunition, and ho one was hurt.
Acting Lieutenant Commanding McOaitlev, of the
steamer Fort Henry, under date'of October 16, reports
that, on the 2d, he made a reconnoissance up the Apa
lachicola river, which resulted in tho capture of sloop
G. 1,. Brockenborough, which had been scuttled, and had
onboard tixty-four baits of cotton. The launch from the
Sagamore cleared the river banks of guerillas, and killed
a number of them.
The Ship AUeffheny Burnt by the Rebels.
The tog Leslie has arrived, bringing the seamen who
had been picked up in the Chesapeake bay on Wednesday
lest, by the steaaier Daniel \Veb3ter.
They state that they are a portion of the crew of the
ship Allegheny, of New York, which left Baltimore last
week with a cargo of gnano for London, and that curing
the storm of Sunday she came to anchor below the month
of the Bsppohonnock, where she remained until Tuesday
night, at which time a party of rebels, in threa boats
csrrj ing about seventy, five men each, some of whom
were in uniform, came from out the Piankatank and
boarded the vessel. The captain, mate, and pilot were
teken prisoners, and transferred to the boats of the
rebelß, and the remainder of the craw were ordered fo
take ibe ship’s boats and put to shore. ;
The rebels then set fire to the cabin of the ship and left
her. fahiDg the prisoners with them, and a boat contain
ing about half,the crew. Those who were brought up
state that they escaped by reason of the darkness of the
night, and, after floating till day, wore picked up by the
Webster. The men oh the mortar schooner No. 7, which
was some distance off, saw the fire A boat’s crew was
at once despatched, who succeeded in extinguishing the
flaraeß subscdnently to the after part of the ship, with
the mizzenmast, having been destroyed. This is the
sumo vessel, doubtless, reported, via Fortress Monroe, as
seen burning by the Baltimore steamer on her way to
Old Point
Slave Traffic under the British Flag-.
The Star of this evening says we have reliable infor
mation from parties jult returned from Cuba, that the
steamer Blanche, on her late trip from Texas to the port
cl Mulatto, Cuba, carried, In addition to her cargo of
cotton, unite a number of Texan slaves, with their owners,
who promptly sold them to Cuba planters; and, that Seces
sion families, arriving from New Orleans and its vicinity,
ate bringing with them numbers of slaves. It will be
remembered that the steamer Blanche ran her cargo to
Ouba under the British flag, which is not known for
.many previous years to have covered a cargo of slaves
for the Cuban market! A Spanish man-of-war, the
Biaeco De Garay, is said to have landed more or less of
the slaves entering the Island, from the vicinity of New
- Orleans. .. . ' '■ . ■ - - - • - : .

From Fortress Monroe.
Fortress Monroe, October SO.—Further particulars
of the ship reported on fire night before last, off the
mouth of the Rappahannock river, have been received.
Captain Dale, of the steamboat Maple Deaf, reports
that the ship was the Allegheny, of New York, loaded
with flour, from Baltimore, and bound for London.
: Her crew was picked up by the United States gunboai
Monlicello.
Her crew state they were captured by the rebels, and
their centals, mate, and pilot were taken prisoners and
carried off. The gunboat Monticoiio, wiih their hose,
was playing upon the bm-nirg ship at eight o’clock, when
Captain Dale left, and the fire appeared to be under sub
jection.
It is generally believed here that the rebels had !
nothing to do with the affair, bnt that it was a case of
mutiny.

VENOMOUS FLIES IN FRANCE.—Oases have

of persons beoomiDg exceedingly 111, and even dying, in
conseanenoe of the stinge-of venomous flies, the ssifi
venomous quality being contracted by the inseot from
pnlrid substances on which it has settled. Near Sois
sons a shepherd lately died in four days in consequence
ofone ofthese bites or stings. He took no hesd of the
first inflammatory symptoms,.and when he applied to a . :
doctor it was too late. Two other persons In the same
neighborhood were similarly attached, the symptoms
being great swelling and infleramation. but fatal results
were not anticipated. Some of the French provincial
papers have published strong recommendations to all
persons who may be atnng- by suspicious flies or insects'
to resort at once to a medical man, who alone is able to
judge how far (be apparently trifling injury may be se
rious. The propriety of burying all carrion and putrid
substarcts is also strongly urged as the snrest means of
obviating such dangers.

A DEMOCRATIC “JUBILEE!”
The Breckinridgers in Indepen-
deuce Square.
Spceches by Wn. McMullrn, Charles Inger*
soil, F, W. Hughes, and others.
There is a legend in Scotland, and it has bean generally
accepted throughout the world, that, upon the last day
and night of October, the devils, fiends, witches, , and
bogis, as they are called, come to earth and hold their
midnight revel. It is hot known what takes place at
their supernatural saturnalias, but it Is generally be
lieved that those who thus return to earth have left it with
many sad stains upon their souls. Last night was the
anniversary, of this meeting of witches, and, on last eve
ning, the Breckinridgers of Philadelphia hold their
“jubilee.” It is extremely proper that such a meeting
should be held at such a time.
It was a wonderful assembly. The unterrified and un
washed Democracy were there in all the glory of lanterns
and whisky. There were bands of music that played the
11 Star fipangled Banner” and “Dixie’s Land,” andmade
a great deal of noise. Borne of the delegations were
VC: y large, and large bodies of men were constantly
coming and going. The Square at no time held more
than five thousand people, but the lack of numbers
was made up in enthusiasm. It was pre-emiaeritly a
, screaming crowd. It screamed”on every occasion. A
large rocßter, with white feathers,. waß borne upon a pole,
and waßan endless sourceof joy. Wherever the white
rooster appeared It was greeted with deafening applause,
end numerous were theimitations of its vocal peculivri
ties. all of which were admirably executed. There was
also an idea that Millard Fillmore was upon the stand,
and any gentleman who at all. resembled that
gentleman was greeted with lusty cheers. Many of
those in the crowd from the rural wards had ah idea that
all the ex-Presidents of the United States were present.
The sprightly Mr. Ingersoli was taken for Franklin
Pierce, and appropriately cheered. A Democrat from
the Eleventh ward, who was sober, would not be paitd
fied Without Mr. Van Baton, while a Democrat
from the Tenth ward, who Was drank, made vociferous
appeals .for Mr. Buchanan. It is but just to the friends
of ibis gentleman to say that when they discovered his
deplorable condition he was removed. A large police
force was in attendance, which helped to swell the num
bers of the meeting and at the same time restrain its
superfluous enthnsiaem.-
Let us teU how this fraternal , gathering passed away.
At eight o’clock tho'historic “ sea of faces’/’ had turned.
Therefore the hand desisted from its heroic efforts, and
our world-famous citizen, Alderman William McMullm,
introduced his friend, Oharles Ingersoli, and then flitted
away to Bee that the torobes were judiciously disposed.
Mr. Ingersoli clime forward with the lamb like meekness
of a martyr, and pulled onthis immacculate wristbands to
ibeir foil extent, He was in full costume on this great
occasion—a black neck-tie, swallowlng up all? traces of
Si&irt collar, a snuff-colored .coat—we think it’waa snuff
colored—buttoned tightly , at the waist,-and expanding
Tike a floweret higher up,'and a faultless moustache.
Altogether, he was strikingly like a Hungarian exile in
appearance, and was received with commensurate ap
. plause. . •
SPEECH OF CHARLES INGERSOLI..
Fellow-citizens : We have met here to-night to
congratulate ourselves, arid our neighbor Democrats of the
States of Ohio and Indiana, upon the recent magnificent
success of the Democratic ticket, and to express onr
hope that the result in the other States of Delaware,
New York, New Jersey, and Illinois may be similar.
Our result in Penns; lvaria has been truly wonderful.
Before the first Tuesday In October a Democrat in any
part of the State was a thing to be pointed at, was con
sidered by the Abolitionists as fit only to frequent the
darkest coruere of the earth, [applause.] and not fit to
show bimselfjin the sunlight of day. On the first Wed
nesday of this month It was shown that tha Democrats in
this State numbered: 215,010 and upwards—2ls,ooo
rebels and traitors. 5 [l’hreß cheers for the trai
tors!] May this election influence the Govvern
ment at Washington. We have in the State a ma
jority of nearly five and in the Legislatara we •
have a majority on joint ballot. We also have a majority
of members of Congress, and this, after all, is victory
enough. This has been a wonderful election ; wonder
ful that we should have so many traitors in Pennsylva
nia To what shall’we-’ turn our success 1 Shall it be
to put down ihe Federal Government ? This is for yoa to
determine I eay that if we are true to ourselves; if the
citizens of tho North are true to themselves, they will turn
their attention to one point above all others, and that, is
the rights of the sovereign Btates [applause,]-now tram
pled uponand hooted at: Personally, I am fer a strong
central Government. No Government can exist long
without a central force. To this I have'a qualifica
tion to add, that is, to reference to State rights. When
this Union was formed, and we came together as sorer-'
eign State?, each of the thirteen yielded a portion of its
' sovereignty, to order to form a Union. Without that,
the country would soon have been a military despotism.
This Union prospered well until the Abolitionists ca ue
into power, who are now striving to make it a military
tyranny. :. '
What will be the resn't of the present condition of affairs
; in this country is hard to say. Either wel must conquer"
the Bomb, or we must make peace with them. If we con
quer the Scuih, and annex their famished territories to
ours, there is an end to this Union, because the Union no
; longer ,txi«tsasa Union of sovereign States,. [Applause.]
In case Mr,. Lincoln fails, in, bis War policy, 1 than
; there is anarchy, Wnat: is to save ns from
either of these dilemmas? The States themselves only
can save us. It the Btates do not save ns, we are gone.
Well, we should therefore cultivate%onr State pride.
When the Mitaonri question was before Congress, Mr.
Olay took occasion to turn to Me. Sergeant, one of
our fellow citizens,-and said, “I appeal to .'you, as
a representative of Pennsylvania, of unambitious Penn
sylvania.” Now, .gentlemen, we must become amt
, biiiouß, we must inflame onr pride, we must look to
onr sovereigiity. We must be ambitious Peausyl-'
vanians If Pennsylvania had played her part in
■ March, 1860, when tie State of Virginia was trembling
to the balance, Bhe might have saved Virginia, and
ultimately saved the Union. We have another remedy.
We should hold a State-convention. If you ask me for
wbat'M aey to take care of ourselves; If this Abolitiori
patty are determined to take away from us our flag'and
our Union ; if-they are determined to make gloomy
onrhorizon. it is but proper that the Democracy ’of
PenneyivaDiashnuld riri e in their mignt, and from
, their State Convention send forth a plank on which we
may bo all able to stand. But I must stop,: as, other
speakers more -eloquent than I willfoliow. .Imakethese
rtmoika because the sentiments I utter are near to my
" ~lnreßtV-tet ) m!garfi voico, three.
MYER STROUSE’S SPEECH.
. Mr, Bironse commenced by making the important an
nouncement that /he hailed from Schuylkill, which
elicited deafeningiapplause. After an eulogy of, Mr.
McMnlUn, and s, me original remerk-i to tt,-,
sSdrode spot: on which he stood,lie alltied to the cete
bratid crlsiß, and in the same connection gave the
mercenary hirelings a rub. He considerately spared the
hirelings who ware not mercenary. He thought that
whoever voted the Breckinridge ticket did as noble a
work as the soldier who bares his bosom to the rßbei foe.
This sentiment elicited great cheering. A choice as
sortment of hats were waved in air, and the handker
chiefs, cigars,: &e., impulsively flung out, darkened
the sky, Mr. Strouse al o thought the election was
a great rebuke to the tyrants who now govern the
country [bursts of applause ] He had great pity for
poor old man Lincoln. His whole Administration
had been ax outrageous mistake. Mr. Strouse had
two other thoughts. He thought that the hemp crop
was insufficient to hang all the Breckinrldgers; and far -
theimore, thet “if we get another hicch at the Aboli
tionists, God help’em.”
w'‘Do yen want to be reduced to slavery ?” asked Mr.
Btrouse, in his stop’iciSy.ofheart. .."'I
“Wirra,no!” howled a gray haired man, to mortal
arguish. .
At this interesting stage of the proceedings, the Fif
teenth ward delegat on arrived, which was considered a
valid excuse for smashing . the reporters’ hats Into
their teeth,. and occupying the tables in force.
This having been successfully accomplished, Mr. Strouse
proceeded to deplore the coming of the day when we
Bhould be split tip into petty principalities [ when Eox
borongh would be a foreign country, and when a pass
port would he necessary to enter Norristown. “Why,”
paid he, “ even now itcosts you flee cents to go. to Smith's
Island.” [Silvery peals of merriment ] About that time
the Government would bo' issuing sninplasters to the
following effect: -

0001) FOR A GLASS OP I.AC.Kft. ;
This happyundrinspiring thought put the assembly in
.the best of-spirits,, and responses of all kinds were tiber
> ally made to Mr. Stronse’s lucid reflections Bor instance,
in a portion of his harangue he put a series of questions,
of which the following may be taken as a sample: “do
you want the war ,to last for twenty years T’ To
each of the twenty questions -there was an
earnest and vigorous yell of “No!” Then _Mr.
Sirbuse went on to prove by argument that all Ameri
ca’s great men, from Buchanan back to Oarlatopher
Coinmbns, belonged to the Breckinridge party. We
’regretted, for the speaker’s’ individual sake, that he had
not a clear idea of what the Constitution was; and what
'it was intended for. At first he'asserted that it was the
corner-stone of the (Breckinridge) nomocracy ; a mo
ment after, by tome unaccountable process of rhetoric,
he affected.to regard it a<a Democratic text- book; and
before the end of the sentence it was transformed into a
“litany.” Indeed, if we are not mistaken, it .was th 3
bulwark of something or other before: Mr. S.rouso had
done with it. -Curious people would like to know.haw -
it could servo to all the separate roles in one unfortu
nate paragraph. -
Whenever anj thing at all or whatever subject was ut
tered, on inebriated shoemaker in the crowd (if we may
judgeot bis “profession” by bis lineaments,)insisted
profanely that “ the Abolitionists did it.” The resalt of
this was the Abolitionists lost favor, and towards the
close of the festive scene were denounced in scathing'
ter me’for their “hererims As the crowd continued to
pour in, the sympath’zers clustered around the chief
stand bid fair to be crushed into a jelly. This danger
was generally appreciated by the unterrified, several of
whom exclaimed frereently and with upturned eyes:
The I,rid preserve us t” Yet these poor wretches,’
swaying about in iho throng, with their ribs to a: uni
versal vice of elbows, manaeed in some miracnious way
to vociferate cheers for McMullen and the Oonstitntion.

back to Walnut, but as the owners of the heads might, in
their ignoresce, have considerd it an insnlt, nebody at

was impossible to hear all that was said—no great mis
fortune; but the’word “ Abolition” will convey an ai>

''gaps in our report;;- . ::
; FRANCIS IT. HUGHES
succeeded Mr. Stronse. He said : My friend Ingersoll
has given me the flattering introduction of “ great trai
tor.” Permit me rO greet yon as fellow-traitors (chuck
ling glee.) Permit me to announce that the thirty
thousand traitors present constitute about one-eighth of
the traitors of Pennsylvania (more of it) 218,0t0 of
similar traitors declared through the ballot-box on the
fourteenth of this month, their declaration in favor of
the great principles involving civil liberty, religious liber,
ty, the rights of the citizens, the reserved rights of the
States, that the Conetllution,jjhali remain inviolate, that
tbeUnion of these States shall bo restored in thtir original
grandeur . [This sentence would' have been ap’piaadad—
the hats were ail ready and theeyes'sl! eager—bntita
.length was so great that no one comprehended it, and the;
cheers tspered off toa plaintive sigh of relief ]
V Mr. Hughes then reviewed the result of the election
in the Western States, from which be seemed to derive
come little consolation. He likewise appeared sanguine
that New York and New Jersey ■« would* speak in thun
der tones.” and that nonebf theDlmocratseleoted to the
Pennsylvania Legislature could be bought by gold.
We shall have a Democratic: State Treasurer, and
United States Senator, continued Mr, Hagtaes The
voice of the people has proclaimed in favor of certain,
great principles of civil liberty which have been assailed,
.and in a great degroo have been violated by the servants
-ml tho people. Tbo people have declared that the civil
anlbority of the land shall be superior to the military
autfcoritv. Judged by the logic Of their measures, the
Abolitionists are disnnionists, (heart rending groans of
rage and execration.) They are traitors, fvehement
prritettatfone cf delight.)
Mr. Hughes then went on to show that the Union was
merely a confederation of St* tes, each a sovereignty flu
ittylr, and all hound together by the ties of the Oonstiiu
liph, whose adoption they had assembled to cetehrats.
He wound up by contending that the Union
could only be destroyed in two wa'-s— by
secession or by aboiittoa. In the former caso the dis
severed States were still.sovereign, and their citizens had
tfcelr rights secured to them as before ; in the latter case
the State be came politically dead and the righta-of indl
viduais were swept away. Mr. Hughes established this
theory esan incontrovertible fact in the inhale of bis
-auditors by resorting to. analogy, and graceful? retired.
7 Two other tminetot sympathizers spoke. ' The first was
Mr. Monaghan, of Ohester’ jaunty, who dealt with the
Abolitionists in the most sembraeldss stylo. Sownrd,
Bale, and Chase were “hsU-born trateOM,’- and were
hooted with marked viodlativenesa. After'this finished
oration; Mr. Jehn G’Bjrae fead a bateh of letters from
- who could not be present, and whom
nobody, for a moment seriously expected to see,
arid emblazed the oocasion to edge-ln a few-remarksof
bis own, in which “the banks of the htotbric Brandy,
wine ” received due credit, and several other.equatiy
effective points were made. Daring Monaghan's speech
a ruthless band struck up the “ star Specified Banner,”
apd was promptly rebuked for the topertlaance, By
half past ten o’clock the crowd had thinned away* &nd
the grand demonstration was over.
TUB RESOIftmONS.
A number of resointions were passed, among which
was one containing the following sentiment:
“ And any attempt at this time to divert it from that
holy purpose, to a war for negro emancipation, would
most alarmingly indicate that the failure of President
Lincoln! immediately after his election, to recognize the
danger that then threatened the Union, and his with
holding all countenance and public approbation from the
Crittenden Compromise, and other kindred peace-offer
ings, which, if then adopted, would have been the death
blow to Southern Secession, and kept the States intact,
was premeditated and designed to precipitate the * irre
pressible conflict, 1 in which slavery might dtej or the
Union perish. l *
The Southwestern Stand.
In order to give the mee tag a respectable appearance,
an eight by ten stand was erected in the southwestern
part of the square. Here a crowd of boys and women,
and a email number of men, assembled. The meeting
was organized by calling to the chair Mr Jacob Ziegler.
Speeches were made by Messrs. Henry A, Glides, John
8. Painter, and Robert Paletborp.
Bober t Polethorp, Esq, addressed the meeting amid
loud cries of « Adjourn ! adjourn |” There were about
ten personshow present; but Hr. Palethorp, with valor
worthy of a better cause, persisted in speaking. At the
hour of onr going to press, there wbb a rumor that Mr.
Palethorp was still addressing the meeting, and it is gene
rally estimated by his friends that he will conclude at a
late hour this afternoon.
SOMEBODY SERENADED* •
During the progress of the meeting some wag started a
report that hts Excellency Millard Fillmore, and Horn
S. 8. Cox, of Ohio, were in town, and stopping at the
Continental Hotel. The ward clnbs immediately got to
gether and agreed unanimously upon a serenade to these
individuals, although great astonishment was expressed
that they had not made their appearance at the meeting.
The mob slowly made its way up Chestnut stroet, and
halted.in front of the Continental. After the hand played
several airs, loud cries were tent forth for '** Fillmore,
Fillmore,” but Fillmore came not. The strength of nu
merous lungs was then tried on Cox—that name being
much more easily managed—aud (ha noise made wa3
deafening Btill no Cox oame. The two namoß were
then tried together, but still no response. The angry
crowd then moved on, and their places were immediately
.filled by the members of another uptown Democratic
Association. The same yelling was again set up. and the
mob were determined that they would not movo an inch
farther until their serenade was responded to. Daring
all this while, the balcony of the hotel contatned a few
ladies and gentlemen, and one or two newspaper
reporters, all of whom seemed to enjoy much
the rich scene below. Finally, things grew desperate,
and the proprietor of the Continental, haviog great fears
for the good name always borne by his establishment,
requested gome one to atate to the excited and desperate
gathering below that neither Fillmore nor Cox was in
the city; but that the former, however.'was expected"
next week. John Brodhead, Esq;, volunteered;his ser
vices and m'ountlr g the balcony said: > “ Philadelphians,
1 am requested, by the propritor of the Continental, to
say to yon that neither Mr. Fillmore nor Hr. Cox is at
bis hotel.” notwithstanding this announcement, the
orowd still lingered, evidently determined on having
a speeoh from some one—not much difference who.,-A
loud cry was rated for Brodhead, but that gentleman,
foreseeing events, had left in great haste Immediately
upon delivering ibe few words nbove. Finally, after
some persuasion on the part of the police, the mob
moved up Chestnut street, the band striking np, 11 We
cannot live always.”
During the excitement around the Continental a gen
tleman bad hiß pocket picked of a valuable gold watch.
The theft is supposed to have been committed by a well
known ‘‘professional,” who la known to have been
. prerent diagnißed as a marshal or a marshal’s aid. He
will be arrested to-day. ,
■ Base Ball.—There was a very spirited
game ol base ball yesterday at Oamsc’g Woodß, betwixt
the Athletics and tbo Olympics. Only Boveainnings were
played. The Athletics wore declared yictora In a score
cf 19 to 10. About two thousand person!} witnessed the
gome, which was a most gentlemanly one, throughout.
The third and last game will take place on Friday or
Saturday j>f next week. ■
, Target Practice.— Company A, of
the Gray Reserve Corps, Captain Okas. Smith, paraded
yesterday for target, practice. The company met at the
armory at twelve o’clock, aud proceeded directly to Gi
rard avenue, ’ where the members took the cars (at
Seventh street) for the target ground, at the Spring Gar
den Water Works. The place selected was admirably
suited to the purpose, . .
Charge of Forging Inyoices.—
Henry Walton bad a hearing yesterday afternoon before
U. 8. Commissioner Heazlitt, on the charge of forging a
number of invoices of goods which ware imparted here
from Liverpool. It was in testimony, that the figures on;:
the invoices had been changed, and other alterafiens
made. The Commissioner reserved hte decision until
Monday.
FraE.—At 6.15 o'clock* lasfc evening,
a slight fire took place at the corner of Ninth and
Fairish streets. The fire was caused by the bursting of a
carboy of vitriol.
New Military Route to the Pacific
A SHORT ROAD ACROSS THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS
—THE COLUMBIA AND MISSOURI BITERS UNI
' TEl>. ’ '
We have already noticed the return of Captain Malian,
United States Army, and party, to this city, from the
frontier of Washington Territory, having completed the
construction of the mi itary road from Fort WalhoWalla
to Fort Benton, upon which they have been arduously
occupied for the past fivo yeara.
The lapse of half a century may have canted the fact
to be unappreciated, perhaps, by many that the opening
of a practicable route from the head waters of the Mis
souri to the mouth of the Columbia early engaged mnch
of ihe anxious attention of President Jefferson, under
whoso auspices the memorable party of Lewi, and Clarke
B-arted out in.ISOI The accounts nf the travels and ro-’
—iraor this early exploration, though presenting a sno
cinct and truthful narrative, have not, Btrange to say:
found that lodgment among the current knowledge of
our countrymen which the character of their discoveries
and the ulterior benefits they were expected to insure
so well deserve# - . ' : '
-The virgin region or the great Northwest, has or .tata
years übti. -p»<.t,p tno,onghiy opiored, audits resources
developed by different Government parlies. The explo
rations of Stevens, Stansbury, Simpson, Lander, Btale,
Warren, and others, have done mucb for the geographical
world. But, without diminishing the character of the
work of these able officerß, we are free to say that the
Government has not. set on foot a. project of greater na
tional importance than the opining of a military Itae
aciosß the dietaDt Bocky Mountains, uniting to a firm
grasp the Oolnmbia and Missouri rivers, draining the
two slopes of the continent by the shortest line’yet known
to geography.
' The utility of this road for military purposes has al
ready been practically tested by the passage ever it, two
yesrs since, of several hundred troops, destined for the
lire of poets commanding the Columbia river, and the
fact that the Missouri is navigable as far as the Ameri.
can Fur Company’s po3t at Fort Benton, whish is at the
eastern terminus of the route, during the past
summer, some five hundred emigrants from the Western
Slates went that way into Oregon and Washington, make
the line fulfil all the wants of emigration, .and recom
mend it as one feasible, short, and economical to those
hundreds of pioneers who are now contemplating making
homes on the Pacific coast.
The country explori d'by Captain Mullan opens np a
new field for future investigation and farther examina
tion. It passes through an exceedingly interesting sao
tioh of the Northwest, where the sound of busy energy
and industry has sosree been beard, and where the de
caying Bleckfeet and Flathead Indians roam to-day in
the same unbridled freedom as did their fathers long
years before them. It traverses.a oouatry varied in
natural formation, and taps the head waters of the Mis
souri by a low pass, separating the Atlantic from the Pa
cino side. Rich and extentive deposits of gold hßvo been
diacovered all along the line of road, and these have
caused an industrial revolution and activity to take place
IB ihat regivP-: The shipments of gold from the mines of
Washington Territory and Eastern Oregon far exceed in
amount those now 'foviPg California. Iron, copper, lead,
and coal have been also and if is said that she
mountain ranges are even rich mercury.
This route, situated as It le in to our
British border, is destined to become a line
of operations in caso of any trouble with tbs English
Government which would lead to a conflict by either
land or sea. We have always labored under tho impTes-
Blon that, to Jcaee of a war with England, the Pacific
coast would beceme the first, as it Is the most vital, point
of attack of ail our possessions. Even now, with the
difficult range of tho Rocky Mountains intervening as a
wall and a barrier to rapid communications, these pos
sessions are only held by us via the'slender and uncer
tain thread of a foreign territory—the isthmus of Panama
—which once held by the English Government, and the
harbor of San Francisco blockaded, would virtually dis
possess us of that golden region upon which to day wo
are dependent for that coin which is paying off the Interest
of our national debt.
Jn order to show the Interest felt in this great enter
prise by the inhabitants ontbe Pacific slope, we quote
the following paragraph from the Alta California, a
leading paper published in San Francisco :
[From the Daily-Alta California, October 1]
THE WALLA-WALLA AND FORT RENTON WAGON
.' ROAD.'
■ Among-tbe passengers to day by the-Sonora for Pa-:
noma, en rente for New York, is Captain John SSoHan,
2d United Btatc-s Artillery, and assistants, on their way
t,O Washington, D. O. Captain Malian returns Bast for
the pnrpose of submitting bis reports tradmapy to the’
War Department, relating to the geographical and tops-;
graphical TeaSuies of the mountain sections of the Terri
tories of Washington and. Dacotah. through which the
military road has been constructed and located.-
The union ot the Colombia and. Missouri rivers (drain
ing the Pacific and Atlantic slopes of our continent re*
spectively) by an overland route across-tho Rocky Moun
tains is one of the grand achievements or the* nineteenth*
century. Since the early explorations of Lewis and
Clarke, in 18C4, ’6, and id, and; those at a later date of
John O. Fremont, the Government hasi'not initiated au
enterprise grander in its conception, or where the practi
cal results eonght to be obtained have been falter, more
important, or more beneficial in their tendencies to the
advancement and promotion of onr Pacific - possessions,
than the late explorations of Papt- Mnllau. To bring to
a snccessrul termination a project so arduous andciscou
raging at every step, and fraught with so many physical
difficulties, has' indeed demanded: no, small .measure
of energy, toil, and pa'ience. The privations of the
party, incident to a journey, over heated plains, and
amid the unkind elements of frigid mountains• the many
personal sacrifices and inconveniences to be put np with,
in order to accomplish the objects for which thCF started,
now that they have passed, seem visionary. Theße are
unknown to* the outside world; and stand as matters of
unwritten history.
Captain Mullen will submit to the proper department
a programme for the opening of what is said to be a fea
sible and comparatively short route from Fort La- amie,
on: the: Platte river, coming into Deer Lodge valley,
'Washington Territory, and there intersecting the road
just completed. This done, mail communication can he
had in at least fifteen days from St. Louis.
THE TEMPERATURE OF THE EARTH—In
Asia, said* ProLGuyot in a recent lecture, the greater
UHiFSOf land on thesurface of the glebe, there is the most
rapid reception and radiation of solar heat. There is a
difference of 105 degrees between tho mean of August
and July temperatures in the northeastern part or the
continent. The winter of this region is the coldest on the
globe, but the Bummer is the warmest in that iatitnde.
The mean barometrical heights is_ this part of Asia, if
interpreted as in insular loeaiities, would indiaate, in
summer, a depression of the surface ,of the country
'below the level of the ocean; in winter, an donation to
the table lands. The capital of Siberia has a mean an
nual temperature 20 degrees below freezing point, but
the mean heat of .its short summer,.which seldom ex-
Of eds two months in length, is6B or 60 degrees above
[zero. The earth is frozen, in some places, to the depth
cf 600 feet. Ini tummer, this frozen soil, thawed to the
depth of about three feet, produces barley, and other va
rieties of the cereal grates. The growth oflvegetatiin
is so rapid when it begins, aa to justify a. saying or the
Russians, that you can hear-the grass grow. ;In a.ae,
gion so inhospitable are built three hnrdred cities apd,
villages., That this soil was frozen for ages, was long
since shown by a.beautiful geological discovery. In
the frozen gravel, which composes'She banks of the
Lena, there are found the ioy remains of a mastodon
(ElepJias pUmijcni&s), even the fieshof whlsh Is,so
■well preserved thaO when thawed dogs devour* it with
avidity. Eurojpe, cad acconnt of ita.peninsular character,
experiences no great extremes of climate. Ia winter tho-
American climate is continental, hr summer, jnjritimq.
.The coldest summer terdperejara observed. Is near the

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
THE MONEY MARKET.
Ph!l.adxi,pbia, October 31,1862.
She stock and money olrales wero rather quiet to-day.
Gold opened at 129 X, tell to 133, and recovered 129, at
which figure it closed for ordinary lots. Ohrtce lots of
large pSsceß commanded % per cent, more, but the
supply was short and the market consequently rather
strong. Ol# demands declfned to 325 - Trade dull.
One-year certificates were X better. Quartermaster’s
vouchers are selling, at. IX ®2X discount. Other Go
vernment securities were higher, with some demand fir
the fire-twenty sines.
At the Stock Exchange there was a fair amount of
business done, and not much change to note in prices'
The most important feature was the advance in Govern •
ment bonds. 'For the-1881 sixes 103 X was paid, with
more celled for at the figure. The seven-thirties rose x,
and continued firm. The feeling of confidence lit these
securities as an investment is returning, and orders are
coming in abundance for their parohase. The five
twenty Bixes are not neglected, as the conversions at the
offices here and In New York plainly Bhow, and the
quantities changing hands outside of the regular boar#
denote that a heavy demand wilt soon spring up for
them. The intertst being payable in gold makes them at
present nearly equal to an eight per cent, bond, and the
case with which they can be converted into moneymakeß
them very desirable as an investment. People, when they
come to consider these views, readily perceive the claims
the Government has upan their purses, and they sud
denly tnrn patriots and invest. ""
State fiveß were also in demand at an- advance of X,
the coupon sixes rose X, new city staß rose Xi the old
