Opzumc nmnEus.—The extreme “ ‘ sensitivity or
the South,” expressed so happily in the Baltimore Con
vention by Hon. Pierre Sonic, is now driven to despera
tion, and in the mimisof many fair-minded people it is ad
mitted that in the event of the election ofLineoln some se
rious movement to peaceablesecessiou will be made. 1716
World is but just and right in disapproving of the taunts
and jibes which a. portion of the fanatically-influenced
press utter ngainst the South. Its tendency is evil, as
it: sentiments are seized with avidity as exponents of
northern opinion. and serve but- to {an the flame of ex.
eitement. We who stand here on the middle-ground in
the miflst of “wars and rumors ofwars.” look with a
deep interest and nervous anxiety to the. November ides.
The Washington correspondent of the World
writes the above, {lnd considering that that
paper is Republican in its tendencies, the ad
mission is significant. Those who rest in per~
fact security, under the soothing belief that no
real danger is to be apprehended from the elec
tion of Lincoln, are wilfully blinded-
A Word of Warning.
Notwithstanding that the Douglas State Com
mittee have formally withdrawn the Straight
out Douglas electoral ticket, certain factions
men in this State, who are using the name of
Douglas as a cloak for iheir own villainy, are
engaged in circulating the Straight-out. Douglas
ticket. In order to produce the impression that
this course meets with the approval of Judge
Douglas these tickets are distributed in envel
ofies endorsed with his frank, A friend in this
county has enclosed to us one of these spurious
electoral tickets, which he says are being gen
orally circulated throughout the county by a.
notorious disorganizer, residing in Berks
county, who is well known as a confidant of
John W. Forney. No doubt these tickets are
being sent. to all parts of the Stete by the some
set of men, and we caution Democrats to be on
the look- out for them. They are well calculated
to deceive the unsuspecting, because they con
tain twelve names which are on the regular
Democratic electoral ticket. We are well per
suaded that this secret movement to injure the
Reading electoral ticket. is carried on without
the knowledge or concurrence of the Douglas
State Committee, and that. it will meet with the
moat; emphatic condemnation of every sincere
supporter of Mr. Douglas in the State. 1
The Prospect in New York.
The contest in the State of New York seems
to turn very much upon the majority that can
be obtained against Lincoln in New York city.
_ The anti- Republican journals claim not less
than 40,000 majority for the Union electoral
3 ticket, while the Tribune asserts that it cannot
; exceed 20,000. There is a great deal of figu
ring and estimating on both sides, and of course
great discrepancy in the calculations of the
i ’ probable result. The Journal of Commerce of
Saturday last. replies to the estimale put. forth
by the Tribune, and in reference to the vote of
New York city conteins the following:
Letns for the purposes of this eccogion, take the Tri
Me’s estimate of 90,000 as the aggregate Presidential
vote. This will be a gain of ten thousand, or something
like twelve per cent. upon the vote for Fremont, or the
vote in December last, which the Tribune admits was
substantially a. legal vote. Give to the Republicans
their proportion of this gain, end they will luvs about
twenty thousand votes. 01- if they insist upon such I.
eelcnletio we will add the same proportion to the
vote for ogyke last fall, the largest the Republican
hve ever ohtlined, except for Morgan in 1858 ; or if
we «1d the time per-eentage to Morgan’s vote, the Re
public-n aggregate would still not exceed twenty-four
thousand. The largest Republican vote ever cost in
thin eityinflfioz, and it requires an amount of seen
me beyond that possessed by ordinary mortals, to
claim for that party this fall more than twenty-five
thousand votes. Upon the Tribune’s own estimate of
90,000, therefore, it would be beaten 40,000 in this city;
and {ol:27er thousand above ninety, the mo'ority for
the Union tucketonght to be increased one half of such
goal. .The estimate in the Post, of 34,000 votes for
14330011! "I this qty, is chimerical. No Republieen
taste? ever went higher than about two-thirds of those
if“, “a 0'11! they: who believes the “ Moon is made
0' BN9" Chem;”_'fll piece any faith in such calcula
tion. The political schemere will be compelled to in
vent some new. system of‘erithmetic, before they will
be eble to realize then- brilliant tnficilmfions of Repub- !
lieu pin: in the city of New York. 1
Union in New Jersey.
The Breckinridge, Bell and Douglas parties
in New Jersey have withdrawn their Separate
electoral tickets and determined to support a.
union ticket, composed of three Douglas, two
Breckinridge and two Bell electors. This
movement will in all probability secure the
electoral vote of ISew Jersey against Lincoln,
and go fin- to encourage the union men of New
York. Having advocated union for the sake of
defeating Lincoln from the commencement of
this campaign, and combated all movements
for running straight-out tickets, we cannot
but he gratified when there is a union of all
the parties opposed to Republicanism in New
York and New Jersey, and a union of the De
mocracy of Pennsylvania upon the Reading
electoral ticket.~ Had union been the watch
ford among conservatives of every name from
the beginning of this campaign, and had the
people resolutely closed their ears to those
who, under the fair pretence of principle,
counselled division, the success of the Repub
lican party would not now be so probable as it ‘
scents. But better late than never. The peo
ple are disposed to pause before consummating
the last act of sectionalism in the election of
Lincoln. The re-action has already com
menced, and may yet end in rescuing the
country from the dangers sure to follow close
upon the triumph of a purely sectional organi
zation.
What {Jan the Kalilfiicau [flirty Accom
- plishl
The Republican party is principally made
up or those who have belonged to parties op-
POSEI} 10 the Democratic fairly, and have passed
through all the mutations of opposition- They
have been Anti-Masons: Whigs, Know Noihin gs,
Americans, American Republicans, People’s
Party men, and everything else anti-Demo
cratic. It is true that 9. very large body of
the old-fashioned Whigs became Democrats
after the dissolution of the Whig party, and
that many who were formerly Democrats cm
broced Republicanism when they supposed that
t‘le Democratic party became pro‘slavcry in
its policy; but notwithstanding this partial in~
termingling of diverse political elements which
I brought to the Democratic party a- strong acces
sion of conservative Whigs, and to the Republi
can party a, large infusion of radical Democrats.
the large majority of those now composing the
Republican party have been life-long opponents
of Democracy, and have followed the Oppogi
tion through all its transformations. Let us
5 ask these men what they have. accomplished? ‘
Where are the fruits of their opposition to the
Democratic party ‘2 What good thing have they
done? Where are the trophies of good govern
mentto compensate them for all this wearisome
marching from one political hobby to another ‘3
They have run through the whole gamut of
political expediency without having done any
thing worthy of praise. And then what a tax
it must be upon the conscience to follow the
political leaders who plan campaigns through
their manifold tergirersntions! The mass of
men now calling themselves Republicans have
been compelled, within the past five years, in
order to secure fellowship with the Opposition,
to change their principles at the heck of the
leaders. At one time they have denounced
and proscribed foreigners, and set up Ameri
canjsm as the paramount good, and foreign in-
fluence as the paramount evil. At another
time their enci‘gies and their haired are di
rected against the domestic institution of the
Southern States. They have been in their
time National Whigs, Americans, members of
the Opposition, American-Republicans, (a name
descriptive of transformation;) then the “Peo-
“ ple’s party,” meaning anything or nothing,
and finally, full-fledged Republicans. Change
is written upon all their actions. Principles
are said to be enduring—but ceriainly not the
principles of the opponents of Democracy——
They have not adhered. long enough to one set
of principles to test them fairly. Their po
litical edifices resemble the building which a
certain man erected upon a sandy foundation—
the first storm and flood has swept them away,
and left nothing but the memory of their frailty
and folly.
Now, Republicanism is another of these fra
gile political tenements. It cannot endure, be
cause it has no solid, practical foundation.—
What can the Republican party accomplish?
Prevent the spread of slavery into free terri
tory, replies one. But how is this to be ac~
complishecl, and what Territory will you ex~
elude slavery from ‘3 You cannot pass an act
of Congress to exclude slavery; for there are
two insurmountable obstacles to this course.
In the first place, you must have control of
both branches of Congress, which you have not,
i and are not likely to have. In the next. place,
the Supreme Court has declared a prohibitory
act unconstitutional, rentiering it inoperative if
passed. What then? Revolutionize the Sn
preme Court? How? You may talk of this,
but how is it to be accomplished? By what
process can the Court be converted into an in
strument for perverting the Constitution ‘3 And
suppose you could, what would be gained ‘3—
Would you feel your own rights niore secure
under a. Court transformed from an independent
tribunal of justice into a. machine for executing
the purposes of a. sectional political organiza
tion ‘2 Can you contemplate such a. result with
out recoiling ‘2 , l
Stop for a moment, and examine this Repub
lican doctrine of excluding slavery from the
Territories by Congressional enactment, and
see whether it is not a mere abstraction—a.
phantasy—a- useless and impractical theory,
which cannot be put into practical operation,
and would be useless if it could; for slavery
will never spread into regions where it cannot
be made profitable, and where if. can be used
with advantage the people are not likely to he
opposed to its introduction; and if they should
be, the power of exclusion is always in their
own hands.
And yet, for the sake of this more abstrac
tion, a. sectional party has been organized at
the North, from which the South is necessarily
and intentionally excluded. The South is us-
nrally exasperated at the threats used against
hem. They think their rights will he disre-
garded in case Northern sectionalism obtains
control of the government. Agitation and de-
damnation against them has been followed by
counter agitation, until the whole South is arm-
ing for a. conflict. which they deem inevitable.
What is the use of following this anti—slavery
abstraction to the verge of civil war? What.
is to be gained by it? Let every reasonable
man ponder this question, and determine in bi
own mind whether it is not better to put down
this dangerous sectional agitation by casting
his vote and using his influence against the
triumph of this reckless Northern sectional

he attended the meetings of the patriots, when;
he was finally captured, but afterwards re
leased. Sympathizing very ardently with the
patriot cause, he removed to the American
side, and joined the lodges there. Here he was
again captured. and taken to Kingston, where,
after a brief trial, he was sentenced to death.
Eleven of his companions in misfortune were

FAST LIFE IN NEW YORK.
—~—-o-———
THE NOTE BROKHZB—HECAMBLEH—TIIH
During the past week the police have had in
charge several important swindling cases in
New York, which involve the loss of several
thousands of dollars, but. as yet have only suc
ceeded in arresting one of the alleged opera—
tors, who, it. seems, has succeeded in obtaining
about $5,000 from a respectable house in Pine
street. The alleged party accused of the swin
dle is a young man named Wm. Hurry, Jr.,
note broker, of late doing business at No. 1
Pine street. It seems that he is charged by
the firm of Quick B'. L’llonnncdieu—dealers in
mercantile notes and foreign exchange, No. 42
Pine street—with having, on Friday last, called
upon them—having previously done business
with them—~and inquired if they had an $B,OOO
note that they wanted to sell, remarking that
he could dispose of a note of the said amount,
as he had a customer in waiting.
Mr. L’Hommedieu replied that he had, and
gave Hurry an $B,OOO note. Hurry, it is al
lcgcd, took it, and saying he would return in
about twenty minutes, left the office. He,
however, failed to return, and itis alleged that, ‘
alter disposing of the note, he procureda draft
on the Bank of the Republic for the full amount,
proceeded direct to the bank, drew the amount
, in cash and left. llis not returning created
'some little suspicion on the part of Messrs.
Quick B'. L’Hommedieu, and, on the following
day, not being able to ascertain Hurry’s where
abouts. they proceeded before Justice Welsh,
where a complaint was made against him ,
, Hurry, the same afternoon, from his own ‘
story, finding himself the holder of this large
sum of money, concluded to visit some of our
leading gambling saloons and try his luck at
the game of fare. His first step was to dive
into the well-known establishment corner of
Broadway and Fulton street, where a. day game
is always kept going, and after betting several
times he lost about $3,000. He then took a
look into a. sporting house in Anne street,
where, after passing an hour, he lost $2OO. In
company with a. friend he then proceeded to a
first class restaurant, and after enjoying a
costly supper started out again for the gambling l
table. It being early in the evening, ashort
visit was made to the sweat-board kept at the i
corner of Broadway and Prince street, where .
he was so fortunate as to win about 351,000—
Thinking that he had done pretty well, he con
cluded t‘o try another house, and accordingly
made a stop at an establishment corner of
Prince and Mercer streets, where, at the game
of fare, he lost $1,400.
Hurry, on Saturday evening, again sallied
forth on a. visit. to his old haunts, visiting a.
gambling house, corner of Twelfth street. and
Broadway, Where they soon relieved him of
$5OO, and at. another, corner of Broadway and
Eighth streets, he lost. the like amount. Sun
day night he again made a. tour around town.
visiting a. place in Broadway, where he was
fortunate in winning about $1,500. He also
visited another of the gambling hells, where he
remained until nearly four o’clock Monday
morning, gaining about $5OO.
On Monday Mr. M’Hommedieu called upon
Mr. Chris. V. Hogan, of the detective force. and
made him acquainted with the facts and re
quested him to work up the case, and if possi
ble to arrest Hurry. Mr. Hogan accordingly
set to work, and ascertaining that Hurry had
been a. visitor to the above places, concluded
that he had an accomplice with him. He suc
ceeded in finding a beautiful team that. thoyoung
gentlemen had obtained, with a view of sport.—
ing about in, and finally [raced him to the above
hotel, where he arrested hjm yesterday after
noon, in foam number 15. Hurry, when con—
fronted by the detective, seemed greatly sur.
prised, believing that he had evaded all pursuit
of the officers. .
He was taken to the police headquarters,
where he is now detained, awaiting examination
before Justice Kelly. About $4,000 of the
money has been recovered by the ofiicer, who
has shown himself both eflicient and invaluable
by the prompt manner in which he succeeded
in arresting the accused. Hurry is about 28
years of age, and is very respectably connected,
his father being well known as one of our lead
ing merchants. A full examination is to be had
in the case. '
DEATH or GEORGE Summary—The scientific
world has lost a bright ornament in the decease
of George Shroeter, which took place at Pat
terson,'N. J., last week. He was a native of
Prussia, and for some years private secretary
of the Prince Regent of Prussia, in whose com
pany he traveled through alarge part of Europe,
becoming intimately acquainted with the secret
machinery of its various governments. In the
revolution of 1848 he took part with the liberals,
and surrendered his secretaryship, when the
regent identified himself with the reactionists.
1 Like so many other disappointed lovers of lib
erty, Mr. Shroeter then decided to seek ahome
, in the western hemisphere, and reached New
York in 1849. As alinguist his studies proved
nearly useless for all practical purposes; but
he applied himself to the geography of this
continent, and in connection with the Geo
graphical and Statistical Society of New York,
his abilities soon began to attract notice. In
1856 he completed a map of the United States
from ocean to ocean, on a canvass 30 feet by
17. This map contained every railroad and
canal in the country, completed or in progress.
Since then he has executed models of this coun
try in wax, showing the elevations and depres
sions of its surface. This was another very
laborious undertaking, but finished in the most
thorough manner.

one or Nhronnox‘s Sfinrensr—ln the town
of Ludlow, (Mass.,) there is living a soldier of
Napoleon, past eighty years of age; named
George Hynes. He entered the French army
in 1795, then not. quite fifteen, and continued
a. soldier till near the close of the Russian cam
paign. He was repeatedly wounded. He
fought. at Ansterlitz, Leipsie, Marengo and
Borodino. He was present as a cavalry sol
dier at the terrible crossing of the bridge of
Lodi—was wounded in the engagement and
three of his brothers slain. He attended Na
poleon in his expedition to Egypt, and with
painful interest recalls the siege of Acre—the
forced march across the burning sands of the
desert—the thirst and hunger experienced,
and the skirmishing with the Mamelukes that
ever harrassed their flank and rear. He was
with the French army upon its entrance into
Moscow, but disheartened, and seeing nothing
but disaster before him. with thirty-five others
left the service, and finally arrived in this
country.
Mncnmn run Tmnsrmxrmo Tnsns.——Mr.

GENERAL NE WS.
FRED DOUGLASS WANTS TO BUY A WHITE MAN.
Fred Douglass, the Well-known and'tolente'i
mulutto fugitive from Maryland, a. few days
ago received a letter from an individual calling
himself Charles Happ, and describing himself
as a “whight man,” stating that he had been
informed that Douglass “had an onely daugh
ter,” and was Willing “to give $15,000 or $20,-
1 000 to any respectable ‘whight’ man who
r would marry her and cherish her through
i life ;"’ and concludes by declaring his willing
! ncss to make himself “agreeable” on “these
i conditions,” To this Fred responds that Happ
{is a stranger, and gives no reference for his
} character and responsibility; that his letter is
i dated Auburn, Without stating the street he
lives in, and that he may, therefore, be an
, inmate of the penitentiary at that place; that
‘ he (Douglas) has not got $15,000; that he has
no objection to Happ’s complexion, but. that
his “grammar and spelling are so bad that he
is not fit to associate with Miss Douglass in
any capacity whatever.”
Snocxmo Morons AT l’mrou, N. S.~—-The
l’ictou Gazette extra. of October 13th states
that Mr. Abraham Peterson and his wife were
murdered in their house, about five miles from
Pictou, on the night previous, and the house 1
pillaged. Mrs. Peterson‘s body was found on i
the floor near the door, weltering in blood, and
a. fire had been made on the floor beside her,
but which had gone out after horribly burning
her body. Mr. Petersonwas lying in the bed
with several deep cuts on his head, and had
evidently struggled but little. The murderers
appear to have put shawls and dresses against
the windows in order to perpetrate their crime
more safely, and it is supposed they obtained a.
considerable amount of money. The contents
of a bureau and some trunks were turned out
upon the floor.
DEATH or “GRIZZLY AmmsF—Thousands
of people in all parts of the country, from
Maine to California, will learn with regret of
the death of J. C. Adams, better known as
“Old Grizzly Adams,” by his numerous and
perilous adventures with grizzly bears and
other savage animals, accounts of many .of
which have been published in the newspapers.
His eventful and somewhat heroic career
closed peacefully at the home of his daughter,
in Neponset, on Friday, in his 48th year; The
immediate cause of his death was the open
wounds on his head, received in one of his en
counters with a grizzly bear. and which would
never heal.-—Boston Herald. ~
GARDENS on Tim Tor or Houses.——-Thc New
York Evening Post has been entertaining its
readers with a long. elaborate dissertation on
the propriety of turning the upper stories of
dwellings into hanging gardens. It states that
as glass roofs are but little dearer than the
other kinds, every upper story might without
much expense, be turned into a hot house,
Where all the vegetable luxuries of the season
could be produced, without the least assistance
_in the way of weeding, pruning or thinning
out—from the boys of the neighborhood. The
idea. is to cover the garret floor with concrete
to prevent water from leaking through to the
floor below. . '
A SAD Donns'rxc Truman}! 1K varor, Buss.
A young lady of about eighteen years of age.
named Henrietta. Pratt, of amiable disposition,
committed suicide by taking a dose of strych
nine, at Newton, Mass, on Thursday. The
physician succeeded in reviving the dying girl,
but it was soon apparent that nothing could
he done to save her life, and she herself stated
her wish to die. She had procured the poison
of an npothecary. The cause of the sad act
is said to be a. disappointment in an afiair of
the heart, which may probably have resulted
in temporary insanity. She was respectably
connected, and was held in high esteem by all
who knew her. ‘
News FROM THE HAIES’ ARCTIC Erin-mums.
The Boston Traveler says that the U. S. Vice
Consul at Copenhagen. Denmark, furnishes the
gratifyingintelligence that an “oflicial” puck
nge from Dr. Hays, commander of the Arctic
expedition, has been received by one of the
Royal Greenland Company’s veSSels fram Uper
navik. This assured the friends of the expedi
tion of the prompt arrival of Dr. Hayes at the
port nearest the field of his labor. The next
European mail may bring letters from the Arctic
voyagers. Dr. Hayes promised his friends that
they should hear from him about the first of
November. That. promise has been fulfilled.
A SNAKE IN A LETTER.—A negro in Chicago
astonished the post office loungers a few days
ago with a. series of most agonizing shrieks and
screams. She had just received a small pack
age from Marion, and on opening ita green adder
was revealed to her astonished gaze. The by
standers soon dispatched the reptile, and the
woman showed them a letter which her hus
band had written, urging her to “kiss this dear
little pet for me, and take it, and sleep with it i
for God’s sake.” He also informed her that. he 1
was going to get. a. bill of divorce as soon as
possible. Jealousy was of course the origin of
this domestic esoapade.
Anumnnum) Dimes—At a recent Conven

one of the committees reported that frauds in
medicines are carried on in this country to an
extent of which the public can form no cou

thereby is enormous and appalling. It is said
that substances, sometimes innocuous, at others
almost deadly in their nature, are mixed _wilh
various medicines, to improve their appear

render them more saleable 01' more palatable.

ardentsuppotters. He wasone ofthe three

Fums IN THE} Pmmms Ix meesou-A.—~
Says the St. Paul Pioneer and Democrat : Nightly
the hori‘zon in different directions is aglow
with the light of burning prairies. Some of
these fires are close by us, others at a great
distance away. We hear that much damage
has Been done in some portions of the State—-
hay, grain-stacks, fences, and even barns and
dwelling houses have been destroyed.

been nominated for the Uniled States Senate
by a. writer in the Charleston Mercury, Writes
to that paper that. if Lincoln is elected he would
not serve as United States Senator from South

The Poughkeepsie, N. Y., Wide—Awakcs got
into trouble the other night, for paradinga,
banner with a. device representing Erastus
Brooks smashing Bishop Hughes with all-axe.
The Catholics gathered in force, and a. general
row ensued. The banner was withdrawn, and
quiet restored.
REMOVAL or ran PAPAL Sim—The idea of
installing the Pope in Jerusalem has been
broached by the French press. They say that. it
is no further from Jeruslem to J ufl'a than from
Rome to its .sea-port, Civita Vecchia; a railroad
would place Jerusalem within one hour of the
Mediterranean, and it would be very nearly as
convenient for the Catholic world as Rome. is
now. It would add, also, very much to the ad—
vance of Christianity in the East. The French
army in Syria. can easily take possession of
Palestine, if the Sultan should dare to refuse a
demand for it; in fact, they say it would be the
easiest way to stile the Roman question.
Tun Sunnun' Ax!) ERIE “figment—lf. is
stated that a vigorous efi‘ort will again be made
at. the approaching session of the Pennsylvania,
Legislature to devise the ways and means for
finishing this road. There only remain some
twentyfive or thirty miles to grade, and one
hundred and twenty miles of rails to be laid to
complete the road to Erie city, on Lake Erie.
When opened, our city will be in directrailway
communication with Erie city, via. the Northern
Central, and the business of the latter materi
ally augmented.
Tne FIRST RAILROAD n: TURKEY-~A mil
way about thirty miles in length will shortly
be opened from Smyrna to Turbali, which is
nearly due east of the former place. This
work, the first of its kind in Turkey, was un
dertaken some years since by a number of En
glishmen, but has experienced more than the
usual share of delay, arising from obstacles on
the part of both the government and the peo~
ple. It was expected to be completed early in
the present month, and the Sultan and his
ministers were to attend the opening.
KILLED A Ilom;nn.-——A widow, named Hat
field,.residing in a lonely house a. few miles
from Bloomfield, Indiana, was awakened a few
weeks ago by persons trying to open her doors
and raise her windows, and plainiy heard them
conversing with one another. Seizing 9- gun,
she fired from the window, and there was an
instant seampering, and all was still. The
next morning the body of a deaf and dumb
man, resident near by, was found a. short dis—
tance from the house, with a bullet lodged in
his body.
THE LATE EARTHQUAKE—On the river
Ouelle, in Kamoumska, Canada, the shock of
the earthquake was more severe than anywhere
else. The buildings on both sides of the river
sufi'ered considerable damage; chimneys were
toppled over with the shock; the cross of the
church fell, and pictures were thrown from
walls. This is the nearest approach to any
serious damage being done that we have heard
of.
LECTITRING l’nomTAßLE.——-John B. Gough is
said. to receive $250 for each lecture he has
given since his return. He has already ac
quired a. property valued at upwards of $300,-

yea-rs.
