THE NEWS.
Ire our despatches from Vicksburg we receive no
news of especial progress—the intelligence is mainly
retrospective. The ground in the rear of Vicksburg
vas found so broken and rugged as to be almost im
passable to artillery, and, from all appearances,
'Vicksburg had been prepared to withstand a siege.
an three assaults our forces had been repulsed, with
-an aggregate loss of neatly 3,oookilled and wounded.
43 en. Butterfield reeorts the latest rebel news across
the Rappahannock as a despatch from Gen. John -
Alton, to the 2 - :th, stating that the Unionists had
been repulsed with great slaughter. The report is
variously corroborated that Gen. Pemberton had to
surrender on the .i2ist 'Under conditions, and that
Grant refused anytlitie`but unconditional surrender.
The information seems also corroborated that Grant
'has taken nearly nine thousand prisoners, and
eightyltwo guns in his immediate operations on
- Vicksburg. it is believed that another assault will
not be made until Grant has gained some stronger
.advantages by a regular siege approach..
IN pun News fro in the Department of the South
we print a spirited and manly letter from Gen. Hun
ter to Jefferson Davis. Referring to the den lara
tion of Jefferson Davis, in August last, that all ne
'growl in arms will be treated as felons, and will be
accordingly executed ; and learning that several ne
woes in the national service have been cruelly mur
dered by the rebel authorities, Gen. Hunter gives
:notice that unless the barbarous order of Davis is
revoked he - will at once cause the execution of every
rebel officer and slaveholder in his possession. The
United States flag remit protect all its defenders,
white, black, or yellow. Other news we have to
the effeet that a slight attack by the rebels on our
Folly Island forces had been repulsed; an order was
issued to draft all able-bodied men not employed by
the Government ; and Gen. Hunter had protested
against the withdrawal of Foster's old troops in the
Charleston forces to the Department of North Caro
lina. These, accordingly, will not, for
4 the present,
be returned to Gen. Foster.
A COURT 00 IN WIRY has just convened in Brook
lYn, to investigate charges made by Admiral Dupont
against Alban 0, &timers, Chief Engineer and In
spector General of the ironclad Monitors. The
charges mainly consist of assertions alleged to have
been made by Mr. Stiniers at the dinner table of the
steamer Arago, on his way home from the attack on
Sumpter, to the efh.ct that the monitors had not had
a fair trial—that they were in as good condition for
action the day after the fight as they were on the
previous morning—and that Admiral Dupont was
prejudiced against the vessels. The Chief. Engineer
is also charged with hilse assertions and language of
disrespect regarding the Admiral, and with having
said that the monitor commanders were anxious to
renew the- light. Admiral Gregory. and Commo-.
Bores Stringham and Nicholson comprise the court.
The witnesses are the captains of the iron-clad fleet,
the officers of the Arago, and a number of passengers,
including Mr. Joseph Colwell, of Jersey City, and
Mr, Cornelius Fulton, editor of the Baltimore Ame
rican.
RECENT European correspondence informs us that
an international " Credit Mobilier" is being orga
nized, got up. by French and English capitalists.
Mr. Laing, the late able financial minister to India,
is chairman, and the names of several leading Lon
don and Paris bankers are among the list of direc
tors, The extraordinary success of the "Credit
Mobilier," and the "Credit Immobilier" in Palle,
makes everybody eager to subscrlh — e to this new as
sociation. The lift etm millions of dollars proposed
as the capital to begin with was taken at once, be
fore the outsiders had a chance for a dollar. The
object of these companies is to make improvements
both in city and country on a colossal scale—to tear
down and to build up, and to make railroads or
boulevards, or to build mammoth hotels. The ori
ginal stockholders of the pioneer companies have
already received back their investments twice over
in the shape of dividends.
THE meeting opposed to the arrest and exile of
Mr. Vallantlighttm, held last night in Independence
Square, was largely attended, and was addressed by
Messrs. Biddle, Lewis, Ingersoll, and others. Mr.
Reed was not present. A large portion orthe meet
ing had no sympathy with its objects or speakers,
but the proceedings were undisturbed. It will gra
tify the immediate friends of Mr. Vallandigham to
hear that the rebels have just taken up his cause as
cordially as his sympathizers in the North. He is
welcomed in the land of treason; and is not without
his prophets, who mark out for him a return from
exile like that of Napoleon from Elba—his reception
by the peace Democracy with open arms; his elec
tion to the Governorship of Ohio, and then the re-
Volution of the North.
GEN. FICEMONT, it is now authoritatively stated,
will have command of the main body of the new
colored levies, to operate in some important section
of the country. A committee from New York, en
dorsed by Horace Greeley, Mayor Opdyke, William
Crdlen.Eityant, and Daniel S. Dickinson, have waited
upon the President to ask a command for Gen. Fre
mont at some point where be can rally around him
the colored men of the country. The President de
clared that he would gladly receive into the service,
not ten thousand, but ten times ten thousand colored
troops; expressed is determination to protect all
who enlisted; and said that he looked - to them for
essential service in finishing the war. Ile believed
that the command of them afforded scope for the
highest ambition, and he would, with all his heart,
offer it to Gen. Fremont.

Tux Government hits started a new overland ex
pedition to the gold fields of Washington Territory
and Oregon, impressed by the success of last year's
'expedition, and have again entrusted the command
to Capt. James L. Fisk. The line of .travel will
avoid the Sioux country, and insure a safe and plea
vlntjourner. Fifty men are enrolled as a mounted
protective corps. The time from St. Cloud, Minne
sota, to Fort Benton, will be about sixty-five days,
and from Fort Benton to the mines about ten days.
The expedition will start by the 10th of June. An
other party from St. Louis will leave for the Idaho
gold mines at the same time.
INTERESTIZiG news regarding the remarkable die•
covery of the source of the Nile by Messrs. Speke
and Grant, has at length appeared. This strange
geographical problem has at last been solved in the
discovery of the lake Victoria Nyanza, which the
daring adventurers have patriotically named after
the British Queen.. The discovery of Speke and
Grant, by which the southernmost limit of the basin
of the Nile is determined to be four degrees south of
the Equator, is praised by Sir'Roderick Murchison
as the most extraordinary geographical feat of the
age.
Tux Commissioner of Agriculture is receiving the
first of the series of reports upon the condition and
prospects of the growing crops, which are to be con
tinued monthly. Quite a large number of these re
ports for the present month have already been re
ceived. They are very faVorable in their state
ments, and indicate that the present will be a most
bountiful year in the products of the soil. It is ex-
pected by the sth of June, and each succeeding
month, a tabular statement will be prepared and
furnished to the press, showing the condiabn of the
growing crops throughout the loyabStates.

NR. SEWARD, in his'excellent reply to the address
of the British Emaneipaiion Society, says that the
Government does not seek aid or sympathy from
foreign Powers, but wishes that its course may ob
tain the impartial judgment of mankind. The pre
sident, however, receives the address with sincere
satisfaction, as it pi otests against the rebellion as a
wrong to the human race, because it seeks to dis
place a Government which is based on the rights of
man, to make room for another which is to rest
upon human bondage as its cornerstone.

Meeting Last Evening.
There was a meeting last evening of the
enemies of the Administration, at Jude
pendence Hall, the sayings and doings of
which are written elsewhere. The story of
our reporter serves our purpose, and having
enabled the leaders to speak for themselves,
we find there is nothing more to say. We
are glad to know that no violence to persons
or property was attempted, and that, not
withstanding the threats that were made
and the incentives to riot that existed, the
loyal pcople.were patient and forbearing.
The only thing remarkable about the whole
demonstration is the air of timidity and
cowardice that characterizes the leaders of
what is known as the Democratic party.
The active men of that party remained away.
For some reason or other they seemed to
dread the presence of the people .on an issue
of antagonism to the Government. Judge
Lxwis, one of the boldest andablest of the
Democratic leaders, and- who is always
brought forward by his party when courage
and capacity are necessary, seems to be the
only prominent Democrat who cone forward.
We saw-nothing-of Mr. WITTE. That am
bitious and unscrupulous demagogue is so
busily engaged in begging a nomination,
which has thus far been scornfully refused
him, that lie cannot afford to place himself
on such ft decided platform. Mr. CASSIDY
was not to be seen, nor any of his friends of
the old DouglaS organization. The old par
ty was absent. We saw 'nothing .of the
brave and true men of the past. A leading
Know-Nothing of New York was an invited
guest, while another Know-NOthing; in the
person of Mr. RANDALL, was uninvited, or
did not see proper to come. To give it
respectability, a long-forgotten and venera
ble fossil was exhumed in Clearfield, and
carefully brought to the city, in the person
of Ex-Governor BIGLER. This notorious
politician, who belongs to the ponderous
tribe, of which J. GLANCY JONES is an ap
proved specimen; Might have remained.
in the obscurity with which he sought
to hide his weaknees as a senator and a
governor. Then we have Mr. CHARLES
J. BIDDLE, "a gallant soldier while the army
was in winter quarters, and an eloquent
civilian as soon as the campaign began, and
the leaders of The Club - in the persons of
Mr. G. W. BIDDLE, Mr. MCCALL, Mr. Mc-
Illtiradw, and Mr. Ixoßasonn, took posses- -
sion of the meeting - . . Mr. NORTHROP made
an - ecstatic speech, ,and a young gentleman
fresh froM the lyceums, and with some
fame as an orator upon such abstruse ques
tions' as, " Whether, Julius CrESAR was
greater than NAPOLEON," or "Did the in
vention of steam benefit mankind," &c.,
read a tirade upon the President. These
were the leaders of the great meeting. ,
It seems that great men from other States
were besought to come, but in their stead
they sent letters. Mr. FERNANDO WOOD
declined to attend, in a remarkable epistle.
He regards Mr. VALLANDIGHAM'S arrest as
"a necessary war measure," in which we'
perfectly agree, 'a n d recommends a frank
peace "Let us, therefore," he says,
"strike at the cause, and declare for peace and'
against the war I" This sentence contains
the creed of the whole party, although Mr.
Woon must receive the credit of being its
boldeSt apostle. We take Mr. WOOD's
let
ter, and answer every speaker with the
words we have quoted. "Let us strike at
the cause," says Woon—and his Philadel
phia satellites say " Amen." Mr. JAMES
BROONS, in imitation of Dogberry, finds
the arrest of Mr. VALLANDIGHAM. to be
" burglarywhile the renegade, A: OAKEY
Henn, of New York, makes bad para
phrases of good poetry. Mr. CARRIGAN
writes:D.R4 he is under the care of the-doc
tors, and sends a long, blatant epistle,
whiCh seems to reflect upon the efficacy of
his physicians. We believe he makes an
: allusion to "the.shadow -of the hall, &c.,"
and other original thoughts of the same de
scription. The greatest letter of all, hi:4-
ever; is from our Magnificent friend, the
Boll.oi'able RICHARD YAUX. He could not
come, but be wrote the Democracy many
wholesome truths. As Mr. VA - 17X is thc Ado
nis aswell as the Apollo of the Democratic
party, hiS words are inspirations.. He an
nounces the startling fact that "History re
peats itself,": and that the ballot-box is " the
ark of the covenant."' Our wonder is that
reas t

GEORGE M. WITARTON and J. OTTERSON,
Jr. They are very long.
A meeting like this will do the cause great
good. But it would be well to revise the
correspondence in future, for such a letter
as that of Mr. WOOD will go fir to convince
the people of the country of the real nature
of the Democratic schemes against the Re
public. These things are not intended for
the public, and the simple-hearted Mr.
DITTMAN must be taught discretion in the
future.
The .Enmity to the Administration.
The excitement and anxiety everywhere
seen, and more particularly in our large
cities, must be attributed to the efforts of
those who are: enemies of the war.: Their
aim is plain—but we.would, rather, for the
sake of our nation, look upon the means by
which it is to be achieved as impossibilities.
They are endeavoring to overthrow the Gov ,
vermnent by inciting the people to . a violent
opposition. We have seen the threat of the
New York World, that unless the Adminis
tration permits traitors to defy it with iinpu
nity, blood will soon flow on Northern soil.
The New York Expi.ess anticipates what it
is pleased to call an "insurrectionin,,Ohio,
Indiana, and Illinois," and under the in
fluence of these threats or of the'terror that
such threats are sup Posed to imply, the
friends of the Administration are " be- -
seeehed" and "implored" to interpose, and
by persuading it into weakness and timidity, '
escape the dangers they are striving to invoke
andnourish. These threats are familiar—the
last pretext is to be, found in the civil admin
istration of General BLIRNSIDE—for it is sim
ply Ft . pretext and nothing more. The lead
ers of the movement are politicians without_
office and adventurers - Without money—and
to. gain office` and money, .they are now en
deavoring to destroy an Administration that
might have bought them at its own prioe.
In the , alliance are those who are sincerely
the enemies of the Government because of
their sympathy with treason. They propose
to fill the minds of the people with hatred.
and prejudice, and by skilfully :distorting
the conscription, emancipation, and taxa
tion, lead them to believe that the war has
no other purpose than to cover them with
taxes, make the negro the rival of their la
bor, and take away from them the blessings
of freedom. There are elements in every
• society to which such appeals can be made
with fearful effect. The • multitude rarely
comprehends an idea, but it follows a threat
Or a command. The laborer, jealous of his
daily dollar and the bread it brings, dread
ing that some influence may take it away
and leave him without . bread - on the mon
row, may easily be persuaded into looking
- Upon the negro, the tax collector, or tha
provost marshal, as such an enemy, and the
Administration that appoints them as the
greatest enemy of all. When such a feel
ing becomes general, we know what may
come to pass. The cry for bread generally_
preceded the rush to the Lantern.
There is a danger that, under the leader
ship of 'wicked men, this feeling may be
come formidable. Having failed in their
attempts to destroy the Government by ef
forts to depreciate the currency, render the
War unpopular, and procure the influence of
Lord LYONS for intervention, the enemies of
the was now cry out against the President .
as a tyrant, and'lsy that ,there is danger to
the liberties of the people. The arrest: of
Mr. VALLANDIGHAIkr is Cited as an evidence
of this clanger, and General HA.scm 2 L's ad
ministration of 'affairs in Indiana is to cause
an "insurrection." As to den. BURNS DE
in the West, and our brave generals eVery
where, we have a word to say.' They have
our confidence ; we know they are loyal ;
we are, assured that the interests of the cause
will'be safe in their keeping.. We know that'
there are bad men who conspire against the
public peace, and have been known to plot
treason in secret. Gen. Bunn in the West
is master of the situation, and knows the'real
mischief that-Mr. VALLANDMItta WAS ea
gendering. In the discharge of his duty
he has visited upon him, a punishment that
no one more richly deseives; and believing,
as we doi that the necessity of the'Repub
lie_ demands firm and earnest measures ;
that the law of safety precedes all other
laws, we sustain the act. If this man is
wronged, the time will come when his case
will receive patient and careful attention.
But he has been pronounced dangerous to
the peace of the nation, and he must remain
away until peace returns. To make his re
moval, or the removal of any one whose
presence endangers the cause, a pretext for
crime and insurrection,--is to say the Govern
ment is weak and unworthy of respect, and
to invite upon those who are malcontent and
seditious a punishment far more e,ondign.
We greet these evidences of strength on the
part of the Government with gratification.
We do not parley about names and phrases
when the country is in danger;.the law that
demands self-preservation is the law of life.
In good time, when peace gives 'stability to
law, the present and its acts can be revised
and rernedied. But now, the safety of the
country siapersedes everything ; and until
that is assured, all good men Swill yield.

THE SIEGE OF VICKSBURG.
BOMBARDMENT OP THE CITY
THE LATEST OPERATIONS.
CINCINNATI, June 1,-The Co?mmercial has full par
ticulars of the operations of General Grant's army
up to the 22d ult. When our army advanced, on
Vicksburg, it was confident of an easy conquest ;
but the ground in the rear of the city was found so
broken and rugged as to be almost impassable by
artillery, and the rebel fortifications were very formi
dable, being grass•grown, &c.; showing that prepa
rations had long since been made to stand a siege
upon the land side. The main fortifications consist
of a chain of forts about eight hundred yards apart,
connected by deep entrenchments, and extending
seven miles. Our loss in the assault on the 22d was
about two thousand. It was the opinion that ano
ther general assault would• not be ordered, but the
city be taken by regular siege approaches.
The Gazette publishes advices up to the 27th, re
ceived through a stair officer of one of Grant's gene
rals, who left for Washington last evening. Three
assaults had been made by our forces, in all of which
we were repulsed. In the last assault, made by.
General Sherman with 20,000 men, we lost, GOO
killed and a large number wounded. Our outer line
is within a hundred yards of the rebel works, and
our aharpahooters prevent the rebels from working
their guns. The rebels works in the rear of the
city, are far more formidable than those in front.
Johnston is in the neighborhood of Jackson with
about 15,000 men. He is short of provisions and am
munition. No apprehensions are felt of any seri
ous attack in the rear. The officer from whom this
information is obtained, says Grant has taken eight
thousand four hundred_ prisoners and eighty-four
pieces of artillery. ,
"IN THE FIELD BEFORE VICKSBURG, Dray 22.
We are succeeding beyond our most sanguine ex-
pectations. Yesterday the enemy sent out a flag of
truce, offering.to surrender the place and all their
arms and munitions of war, if they would be al
lowed to pass out. Nothing .but au unconditional
surrender will be accepted: Our regiraent charged
the breastworks day before yesterday, but they were
too much for us, and forced us to advance to the
rear, behind a friendly , point of land. I write within
speaking'distance of the enemy's works. -Our-sharp
shooters fight them all day and chaff them at night.
We are sheltered behind a.hill from the enemy's fire,
but if we should chance to look over the hill a rebel
bullet is sure to come after it,- We have kept this
position since night before last, and with our sharp
shooters, are, protecting the remainder of our bri
gade, who are directly under the hill on which are
the rebel works, and within fifty yards of them.
We have the enemy completely surrounded, our •
right resting on the Yazoo, and our left on the IYlts
. . . .
sie2ippi, below 'Vicksburg. •The place will certainly
fall in a few days before our heavy fire. ,,
LATEST REBEL REPORTS.

Unionists had been repulsed with great slaughter.
The dead were 'yet unburied, and becoming very

ANOTHER REBEL REPORT.
CINCINNATI, June I.—We have nothing later
from. General Grant.
The Chattanooga Rebel of May 29 has a despatch
dated Jackson, May 27, whibh says: "General
Pemberton is burning tar and using other disinfect

despatches of the 28th, when it .was stated thitt,
Grant's forces were progressing as favorably as
could be expeated, and Grant had no fear of the re-
°IMAGO, June I.—A special despatch to the Times,
dated ".Headquarters, in the Field, near Vicksburg,'
23g." says:
t Butlittle has been effected during the last thirty
six hours. Over a hundred pieces of Held artillery
and several siege guns rained shot and shell on the
enemy's works yesterday. The mortar fleet also
took a position behind De Soto Point, and bom
barded the city the entire day.
On the right Gen. Sherman has pushed Steele's
division squarely to the foot of the parapets. Our
men my in a ditch, and on the slope of the parapet
inside of one of the principal forts, unable to take it
by storm, but determined not to retire.
The Federal and rebel soldiers are not twenty-five
feet apart, but both are powerless to inflict much
harm. Each watches the other, and dozens of mus
kets are tired as BOOR as a soldier exposes himself
above the works on either side.
• Nearly the same condition of things exists in IVIc-
Pherson's front, and his Sharpshooters prevent the
working of the enemy's pieces in one or two forts.
A charge was made yesterday (Friday,T morning
on one of them by Stephenson's: brigade, but was
.repcilsed. Two companies of one regiment got-in
side, but most of them were captured. -
The forts are well filled with infantry. Our artil
lery has dismounted a few guns, and ctamaged the
works in some places; but they are still strong.
General McCiernand was hard pressed on the
left, yesterday, and sent for reinforcements. Gen.
Quimby's division went to his, assistance, at '4
o'clock. The contest continued till one of our flags
was planted at the foot of the earthworks on - the
outsb'e of a rebel fort, and kept there for several
hours'' but the fort was not taken.

THE BATTLE, OF SAN LORENZO--DEFEAT
OF CC/MONFORT-- SURRENDER OF OR
TEGA.
Nnw YORK, June I.—The following are additional
particulars of the news from Mexico :
--
On the Bth instant, General Gomonfort, who had
received ,reinforcements, tried to attack the- French
forces in the rear. General Bazainte's division op•
posed him, and defeated him completely. The battle
took place near San Lorenzo, Oomonfort losing - 2;600
men in killed, wounded, and prisoners, seven or eight
rifled cannon, and the greater part of his equipments
and munitions of war.
It appears that Oomonfort's attack had for its
object to favor the entrance into• Puebla of a large
convoy of provisions and ammunition. General
Porey had received in time a part of the heavy ar
tillery he expected, and posted it opposite to the
forts 'of Tolimehuacan, one of the most dreaded
fortifications in Puebla.
On the same day the artillerY begin to tire, and.
by the 17th a breach had been made. Forey. then
commanded an assault to be made, but the resistance
immediately ceased. A part of the French army en
tered the town, and Gen. Ortega surrendered with
out conditions, with all his forces, including artille
ry and equipments.
There was to be left in Puebla only the- necessary
garrison to prevent its being molested by guerillas,
and- the rest of the forces would immediately take
up' the march for the capital. The number of
prisoners is as already stated. 14,,
Sosmusal, Ky., May 31.—To.day a cavalry recon
noissance was made to within four miles of Monti-.
cello. There was sharp skirmishing all the way. At
two fords sixteen rebels, with arms and horses, were
captured. Simultaneously with this Col. Adams, of
the First Cavalry, with fifty picked men, crossed the
river in boats, and captured the rebel pickets at Mill
Springs, consisting of one lieutenant and sixteen
privates, with all their arms and twenty four horses:
No casualty on our side.

VALLANDIGHAM SYMPATHIZERS IN COUNCIL,
The Government Openly Denounced, and
/Enthusiastic Cheering for McClellan.
ARRESTS BY THE .POLICE
Last night, within — the hallowed precincts of the
Thin of•lndependence, an assemblage, variously es
timated from live to fifteen thousand men, met to
gether in wild and noisy confusion, at the call of the
"Philadelphia Democratic Club," to denounce the
"unlawful arrest of a citizen of a sister State—Ole
ment L. Vallandigham." A more disorderly politi
cal gathering was seldom seen before congregated at
this historic spot. It was a subject of regret that
so many of the more respectable of the audience
'who swelled the crowd should have been tempted to
add weight to the meeting, through their presence.
They were exercising a natural * uriosity to wit
ness how far men can go in denunciation of their
country ; yet this curiosity was the occasion
'of- that rejoicing which made so many on the
stand repeat, "This is a great meeting." To this
extent did they assist in the objects of the meeting.
At about 8 o'clock, Mr. Alderman McMullin
stepped to the edge of the platform, and was greeted
with "Three cheers for Bill McMullin 1" Said Mc-
Mullin, " I am about to nominate for president of
meeting, Chief Justice Lewis. All in favor of
.that say aye. I have a list of vice presidents, which
'I
will not read. I now introduce Judge Lewis."

. Mr. Lewis thanked his audience for the cheers they
gave hint, He understood the object of this meeting to
be to denounce the arrest and proceedings of the military

arrest was against the laws of the land. [More cheeri J

solemnly swore to defend it. This was not an attack
upon Vallandighain alone, but an- attack upon every

RESOLUTIONS.
Mersa.% The people of the United States have been
insulted, and the laws of the land and the principles of
human liberty trampled on by the military arrest, trial,
and exile of Clement L. Vallandigham, a citizen of
Ohio. for words spoken at t public meeting, the seizure
of whose person, and the Whole subsequent proceedings
against whom, ending in his banishment, were not only
in violation of the commonest rights of the humblest
inhabitant of any free country. but in audacious and.
flagrant defiance of the Federal Constitution., which de
clares that " the trial of all crimes, except in cases of
impeachment. shall be by jury," and which ex
pressly forbids the ma.kiug of any law "abridging
;the freedom - - of speech;" which declares that " the
right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses,
papers. and effects, against unreasonable searches
and seizures, shall not be violated," and that "no war
rants shall issue but upon probable cause, supported by
oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the macs
to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized:"
which declares that '' no person shall be held to answer
for a. capital or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a
presentment or indictment of a grand jury . , except in
cases arising in the laud or naval thrcee, or m the mill
-tia, when in actual service, in time of war or public dan
ger ;" which declares that no citizen shall "be deprival
of life, liberty, Or property without due proce , s of law;"
and. finally, which declares that "in all criminal pro
secutions the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy
and ludic trial by an impartial jury of the State and dis
trict- wherein the crime shall have been committed,
which di.trict chat. have been previously ascertained by
law, and to be Informed o; the nature and cause of the
:accusation, to be confronted with the witnesses against
him, to have compulsory Process for obtaining witnesses
his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his
defence ;"
And wherras, If the words- uttered by Mr. Vallan
digham had been the most offensive to which expres
sion could be given, they would-form not the slightest
pretext nor afford the least palliation for the monstrous
ethnic which in his person. has been committed against
the liberties of us ail ;
And wh.reas, In fact and according, to the well esta
blished, long descended and commendable habit in these
United States of free discusSion of political questions,
What he uttered was neither, iu itself unbecoming nor
was it an abuse of the freedom of speech, nor would
the speaker in any manner have been liable to Punish
ment for it according to the severest code administered
in the courts of justice;
And whereas, The measures of authority mast be sub
jectto the freest discussion, for discussion is nothing if
nocitree, and it men's mouths may be opened only to
praise and flatter power, and are to be. closed when
poveris offended, discussion is but a name, and liberty
is a shadow;
And tc7anas, This abuse of authority is justified
under the plea of a milittOw weevily. which is noj us
tifiin.tion, for the same plea would equally justify any
indignity? which could be offered us; and as it served to
exile Mr. Vallandigham would serve to turn both houses'
of Congress out of doors, to imprison thejudges, to sus
pend the legitimate performance of every regular function
of tle Etate, and resolve all authority into the keeping
of doe man;

EnW , - York, to the late public meeti ng of the Democratic
citizens of Albany, condemning the proceedings of the

Deedem of our persons and the rights of our State. we
will, therefore, wait with confidence the October elec

houses of the Legislature ; and whom we expect to bring
in by such overwhelming majorities as may be reasona
bly reckoned on, when the oueetion comes fairly up be

the other the most igeominious oppreeeion.
After the adoption of the resolutions. the President
arose to' announee that Hen. Wm. Bigler would be the
next speaker. -At this moment the left side of the plat
form came down with a great crash, and there was a cry
of, "Look out for the Provost Guard." There was a
great commotion . in consequence. The sanguine friends
of the 'cause" on the platform feared that the meeting
was prematurely broken u evident,mi had
the reedy set in. It was soon however, that the
soldiers - whom the crowd so much feared had not ar
rived on the ground, that it was only a breaking, not
of the meeting, but of a wing of the platform. order
was again restored, and. Mr. Bigler was permitted to
primes. He read his speech, comes of which had been
ecrupulously furnished to the reporters early in the af
ternoon. we follow - Ed him in the delivery, and found
that he had stuck to his text with grearlldelity.
He expatiated upon the eafegueres which the Constitu

Cheers for McClellan were mingled with groans for the
President at the, conclusion of the sentiment, and the
noise of the crowd afterward became so boisterous that
Mie Bigler could scarcely be heard.
At the conclusion of this speech, Mr. George W. Biddle
came forward, and said that Judge Lewie was obliged to
leave."and he (Mr. Biddle) would take the chair. The
question, however, was not put to a vote, and Mr. Rid

would-now introduce his friend. Mr. C. J. Biddle. ere
was greeted with applause. and he thus commenced :
My friends, mer party has been called the neterrified.

am glad that you continue to be unterrilied [Renewed
applause.] This meeting was assembled for denouncing
the greatest outrage ever committed upon a-free man. In,
a sieter State, it citizen had-been seized and delivered

>Drr. McCall
having concluded, Mr. George NY. Biddle
arose and said that Josiah Randall would now occupy
the chair, and he (Mr. Biddle) would make the next
speech. [Cheers for the next speech.] Mr. Biddle's only
object in coming here was to tide, his feeble voice to that
which t as already gone up from all over the landau
condemnation 'of the grestest otttraae recorded iu his
tory. Mr:Biddle proceeded then to read his speech, too.
and the audiener were fully convinced of the concerted
plan by which.the epeakere should foil that spectre—that
overspreading nightmare, than which nothing more ex
cited them—the supposed prevost guard lurking some
where under or about the stage. Mr. Biddle said, "I
express my own sentimeut. and, no doubt, the reel
nient of the forty thousand freemen here assembled,
[suppressed laughter.] that I know of no loyalty except
to law. lott voice, " Three cheers for that sentiment.") I
knew of no loyal man except the man who willingly
submits te law.
At this moment there was another wild confusion, in
the mith.t .1 which one of the thin planks which upheld
the stage c :nopy fell dewn, and fell with a violent force
upon the head of Mr. Biddle. It toddled no one else,
and it certainly caused Mr. Biddle great pain. Silence
was restmed, and the sympathy which had been shown
all the evening for Mr Vallandigham, was now in
silence transferred to Mr. Biddle. The latter had the
greatest virtue in it, for Mr. Biddle had been physically
injured. Ater a few moments, he recovered from the
stupefaction into which it had thrown him, and then
said : "It does not hurt me se MD Ch that l wilt norbe
able ho goon. [Great cheers, and a v..ice on the platform
hurnoromly rent:irked, "it would take more than that to
eopper-heod.")
Mr. Biddle succeeded in reaching the end of his ad
dress. and was followed by a youag mat by the name of
Buck waiter, evidently the rising star. of the party, and
who seems to he the young man of Em, - usn of
Guppy "to the concern. lie was kind enough to say
that the Administiation was composed of unwise and
misgnided Bleu. If they' were not unwise and mis
guided men, they could net have arrested Mr. Vallan
dighant. When the American people reached that stage
of degeneracy that they would not denounce unconsti
tutional acts, free government Was at an end. There
could be ne such thing as military necessity, for there
could be no law above the written Constitution of the
laud. ,
t the conclusion Mr. Rimt all announced that it was
now moved and seconded that we do .nour adjonru.

Mr. Ingersoll endeavored to retire Iron the stage amid
the cries. but could not succeed,. and the crowd still
cried out for "Ingersoll." In the midst of the not=e,
Mr. Rand ill introduced Mr. George Northrop ao a sub

in an abusive tirade of the "New England tdministra

Another attempt was now made to adjourn, but failed :
for the crowd would not disperse before they heard
• Ingersoll. "
Mr. Charles Ingersoll then came forward, and. was re
ceived with uproarous cheering., fie said h.,. wouldmake
no speech, for there was none in him.. coed only
add one other thing to the resolutions, and that is, that
' when October next comes we must have a fair and

now treatPd his hearers to an elegant dissertation on
States Rights. "Give those up and you are gone," said.
he. ' The blessed. rights of the States were our only
guarantee of security. Now, every man of you mast
not only vote for the Democratic ticket, but you must
see that it is put into the ballot-box,"
The audience then dirperged.
Among the letters receir, it were the following:
LETTER FROM HON. FERNANDO WOOD.
New YORK, May 29. 1853.
W. Ditrnan, Esq., Chairman Democratic City Exe
cutive Committee:
DEAR regret that my engagementq here will
prevent attendance at your mass meeting for next‘lfon
day evening.
I heartily sympathize - with the friends of liberty every-
Where, in their efforts to sustain the institution of free
government iu this land.
But do not let us forget (hat those who perpetrate - such
outrag..s ae the arrest and banishment of Mr. Vatlandig
ham, do so as necessary war measures. Let us, there
fore, strike at the cause, and declare for peace and
against the war. Very truly,'
FERNANDO WOOD.
LETTER FROM HON. JAMES BROOKS.
NEW YORK, May 29,1863.
To IL IT. Bib - nay., Esq., Chairman, Democratic City
Exccutive Committee:
DEAR Sin : It is not in my power to accept your kind.
invitation • hnt permit me to say, the outrage upon 51r.
Vallandigham is an outrage upon every human being in
the United &PACE, as well as an outrage upon the rights
of man.
It is not only burl lary in law, but kidnapping and ab
duction in principle. as visit as disloyalty to the Govern
ment; and all concerned in it, or upholders of it, are at
beast-in rebellion against the Government of the United
States.'
No ianguase can adequately express the indignation
every true freeman must feel.
Yours, respretfully, TAMES BROOKS.
LETTER FROM A. OAKEVHALL, ESC!
A. Oakey Rail, District Attorney of New York, in a
letter to the chairman of the meeting. said:
Whilst 1 do not wholly agree with Mr. Vallandigham's
peace views, believing, that so long as peace must be
concluded by this Administration its policy would be
quite as humiliating as has proved to be its warlike
; and whilst I haire no pc_ , rsonat acquaintance with
him, yet I doubt not that his own emotions. despite the
a coon nts of the telegraphic censor, entirely paraphrase a
well• known couplet, thus:
"Vallandigham more joy in exile feels •
Than 'Abe' with servile generals at, his heels.",
LETTER FROM HON. RICHARD VAUX
Mr. Yanx's epistle was quite philosophical, as will be
seen from the concluding paragraph, which we print :
History repents itself. This is the philosophy of expe
rience. If it is true, then let us repeat the protests made
by liberty- against power, usurped or exercised under
color of authority. which license aided by force gives to
will. Against this we have a remedy. full, complete,
prompt. It is the ballot-bds, the ark of the covenant of
man's political salvation everywhere. It will yet reas
sert its authority over this continent. Its Influence is
irresistible, because it adores order and - obeys law. It
exerts its influence, as God displays his mercies, nu all
men alike. It is the political conscience of the people -
Preserve, defend, protect, guard the ballot-box, and the .
constintion and the Union will conquer all enemies,
East. West, north, and South.
Yours, truly, HICIILE.D. YLUX.
THE POLICE AREANGEMENTi.
During tbe day Samuel G. RllggleSt the Chief of Po
lice, made tbenecessary arrangements to have a large,
irterve of police quartered in several places contiguous
tsorderlies scattered around
.
I Towards teifo'clook a large body of badly behaved in
dividuals lett the meeting. and congreg'sring in front of
the public house of Mr. Connelly. on Chestnut street,
below Sixth, began cheering - and groaning for almost
an thing that was shouted out. A. sons tof rioters dad
entered the house and belie ved in a very• disreputable
manner, and oeveral fell amen Mr. Connelly and beat him
shamefully. One arrest was made, the individual being
.removed by the officer to the Central Station, where he
was locked up for a hearing that will take place this
morning
The crowd augmented in front of- the house very fast,
and the inmates found it necessary to close the place to
prevent easy intrusion. Groans were given for " Abe
Lincoln:" cheers were moan for, the "Copperheads,"
cheers for Jeff. Davis and Vallaudighatn ; groans for the
Government. Mingled with all these,- cheers were
given for "President Lincoln," and groans for " Cop
perheads and all ether traitors." Just at this
Portant moment, when a riot that might have been
attended with serious results was about to commence,
Lientenant Der derson. with a body of Reserves, ao.
peored open the ground, and the disorderlies became re
markably quiet In a short time after this, the meeting
in the State House yard adjourned, and in a few minutes '
more all was , quiet within the enclosure.
During the meeting quite a number of perions had
their pockets picked of books and watches,-- Mr. George
Snyder. a resident in Oxford street, I , st his watch.
After the meeting was over, a number of police officers
reconnoitred the ground, and found about a dozen of
Peek et-books that had been rifled of- their contents.
The following are the names of the parties who were
arrested for riotous and disorderly conduct: John Mc-
Millan, James Burk, Samuel Irvin, William Knight,
William MeCorgan, John Roberts. Henry T.. Harvey,
Richard T. Wallington, Owen Redman. and .Tobn Her-.
bert. All tilts° men, on being brought to the station,
declared themselves peaceable citizens, and were not
doing anything. The triumph of the police may be con
sidered a very great success.

Two lIERN STABBED.--Yesterclay after
noon &man dressed in the garb of a soldier behaved
very diborderly at Engel & Wolt's farm, and was put
out. It seems that he laid in wait for anybody who
might chance to come along from the farm. In a
short time a Mr. Shilling, a baker, and Mr. Erhardt
.Toerger, drove from the farm in a carriage. As the
vehicle was passing the place where the soldier was,
it is alleged that he sprang into it and stabbed both
the men, Mr. Shilling slightly, and the other in two
places, one of the wounds being in his breast. The
soldier was arrested and taken to the Twentieth
ward statiomhouse, where he was locked up for a
bearing. Mr. Joerger was taken back to the farm,
and at once placed under medical attendance.

The market opened strong and elcsed with an ,
upward
tendency. Government securities are steady; bank
stocks are quiet; railroad bonds are firm. and the dispo
sition to buy is greater than the disposition to sell.
Debt certificates are still in limited request, and .the
Price is a little lawer. The old issue are offered at 1015:4:.
and the new at 99%. It has been recommended in some
quarters that for the present a smaller proportion of cer
tificates should be issued in payment of requisitions on
the Treasury.

FAIR FOR THE BEItEFIT OF THE REV.
Mn. SIMILBY'S CON6EVEGATION.—From an advev:-
tisement in another column of our paper today, it'
will be seen that " Grand Fancy Fruit and Flora*
Fair " will be held at Handel and Haydn Hall, cin.4-
rnencing this morning, Tune 2d, to continue open.
four days, the proceeds of which are to be for the
benefit of the Rev. Mr.^ Smiley's congregation,
which is temporarily worshipping in this hall untie
their contemplated new church edifice is built. The'
Fair has .been got up in the most attractive style,
and all who Peal an interest in this new religious
body will find in it a pleasant way of contributing
to its prosperity.
"THE WENDEROTYPE," is the risme of
a most beautiful style of portrait now produced by -
Messrs. Broadbent & Co., the celebrated Photo•
graphers, Noe. 912, 914, and 916 Chestnut street. It
is less expensive than the Ivory type (which was also
