I'R,I4Y MORNING, Nov. 7
JOHN VAN BUREN
We publish this morning the closing
speech: oPohn Van Buren, in the. late
canvass in. New York, delivered in Tam
many Hail, on Monday evening last. The
Prince explains all shout the manner in
which he lehtained the Scott letter, and is
quite amusing, humorous, argumentative
and ironial all through hig speech. The
speeches ef . the "scion of Lindenwald,"
in the lattkeontest, were equal to his best
efforts in 1848.
CHANGE OF TONE.
Until within six months, nt farthest, the
~.
Philadel ia North AMElriettli was one of
the most !Stiffly dignified papers in the
ri
country. V.lt scarcely ever even conde
aren4e4discuss current suhjeets which
, ,
attracted ii ; general - attention, confining
itself, alnirt exclusively, to the considera
tions of our foreign, financial and eom
niercial 'affairs. Like one of our old
school giiifeel fogies, with a gold-headen
kane, ruffled shirt, snuff-box in hand and
a touch of thegout in his toes, the North
American`:,' passed , by small things and
small people, leaving its cotemporaries to
enlightenffie public upon mere questions
of everyday consideration.
But as'ebon as Chevalier Forney went
over to the - Abolitionists. the Ney?th
Americanthad to look to its laurels. The
ruanagemtnt Of the late pan' ieal cam
paign in t is State was taken hold of by
honest doip, and that sagacious individual
promised,to crush out all opposition to
his mongrel association, by the mere
power of !Ills crushing pen. His game was
to callusponaervative "traitors," "Break
inridgersfi "sympathisers with treason"
and so oat; while he applied the pleasing
terms of !loyal men," "true men, and
"patriotti, , t' to such cramped, crooked and
blase poli ticians as himself, Cameron, Cum•
mings and Knox. In order to hold its place
in the AbOlitoin party, the North Amer
jean was compelled to throw off its dignity
and rnffietilan4 appear, like the Press, in
the garb, Of the scavenger and, in order
to be aiiitectssful competitor, it had to
abandon its stately sentences and join in
the cry o> the fanatic and demagogue.
However ,distastetul this may have been to
the Norili American, the desperate con
dition of a des - perate party required it.
But, now that the elections of October
and No , kember are over, resulting in a
most terrible and crushing demolition of
Abolitionism, our Philadelphia cotempor
i
ary retort:fp to its former propriety, leaving
poor Forl;ley to act the part of the baffled
garisester : lby himself. Alluding to the re
sult of the late elections, the North Amer. :l
kart seems Ilisposed to take Democrats at
what thekprofess, rather than ;Heist upon
their - Wait traitors. — - This is a good tok en,
and showit how insincere the Ai.7l,ii A ,;,ee•-
ican was but four weeks since, when it de
clared that voting against its political
combination would be taken us evidence of
treason to the government. That paper
now says
"We will not seek to depress the public
funds by Ofpressing a doubt of the t0.;, , 0/tsi
or the successful candidates, though the
government is now powerful enough to
cope with, any traitors who tnay endeavor
to do it violence. These Democratio.can•
didates haVe been protesting their patriot
ism so loudly that we trust they may put
it to a good use. Their increased numbers
in Congreils will give them the means of
compelling retrenchment, and if they use
it wisely Eke,/ shall have our accord::
THE PRESIDENT ON TH E
ELECTION.
The W4hington vorrespontlent *of the
Philadelphia Inquirer writes "that the in
terest in the New York election absorbs
all else here to-night. The first dispatch
iudieated Beymour's triumph by a large
majority. ?At eleven the returns seemed
to be tnore 4 4favorable for Wadsworth. The
President and Secretary of War aro at the
War Depakment. The most intense in
terest is felt by the President, and there is
no doubt but that upon the result hangs
hie policy itlUtihis action in future."
RE' Wismnderstand that the members
of the ne=t."! Pennsylvania House of Rep
resentativda from Cambria, and other
mountain 6Cunties, intend to advocate the
election of Michael Hessen, Esq., to the
clerkship of that body. Col. Hasson is
well Ittali4ed,.and would make an efficient
officer. 1;

SOMETHING MORE ABOUT
"THE GRAND RALLY."
In the hurry and excitement,of many
little affairs, the electiOn''s in New York
and other States, for instance, we have
not . p‘erhape, iven the 'grand rally,";ap•
pointed in this city , for. the 25th'of Novem
ber, that attention which its infatuated
antharit would:44in stiffieient or respect
ful. We now propose to make pp for our
neglect, by giving it a further "notice•' in
the . norning Post.
Art regard to all inscrtitahle movements,
there is alwilys a variety of theories, and
thieVitable 'fginfairrallY" presents no ex
cept& to the rule. The call has been
mysteriously t!irculated, and it is believed
by 'ward' those who have seen it, that few
of the signers to that precious roll of folly
take much interest in the result. To some
it seems to be the expiring effort of au in
veterate place hunter tol bring his name
prominently before Ps 4ident Lincoln for
some ppsition or other Time wanes—
chances onninish, and the grand marshal'
of the "rally' may be one of those poor
unfortunates, who, owing to excess of
cunning or want of cunning, or something
else, has managed on each favorable oc
casion, just to miss his opportunity; just
to get to the Station as the ears had de
parted, and by his petulant. complaints to
get himself into bad odor with every body
concerned in running the "machine.''
Others believe that the chief engineer
of the "grand rally - is one who, having
determined to "curse'and quit" the
tumbling tenement of Republicanism. in
tends, before he takes final leave, to raise
a disturbance that will make that rickety
concern tremble from "turret to founda
tion stone."
Such are some of the conflicting notions
entertained of the author of the ...:rand
rally," who, safe in his incognito, is laugh'
ing, in advance at the idea that there will
he the "devil to pay" when the pert. ii
anoe shall have been performed,
After the recent elections, which I.ave
overborne the administration of Mr. in .
coin, the "grand rally' . looks like a ;•lir
lorn hope;' and yet, according to ali mil
itary precedent, this desperatepdmach
ment should have been in the advance of
the grand Abolition movement, instead of
coming limping along in the extreme rear.
The "grand rally" starts out with the
following alarming sentences :
"The time has arrived when the true
and earnest friends of civil and religious
liberty in the ,new world Should rally as a
unit in support of the National Govern
ment and all its measures for crushing out
rebellion, terminating the war, and pun
ishing traitorFi.
" The recent proclamations or the Pres,
ident, announcing the military necessity
of emancipating the slaves of the rebel
['States, and calling for the suppression of
1 disloyal sentiments and actions throughout
the land, ought to be, and must be, sus
tained and enforced."
It must be Accounted fortunate for the
country that, as in a well planned melo
drama, the folks that have prepared the
"grand rally have determined to come
to the rescue at•the precise moment—the
critical `. niekl of time," It might occur
to some that the crisis had paSsed with the
late elections:, that the Abolition patient
was dead, and that the funeral had de part •
ed; but such, we are happy to say, is not
the case. The time for action has just
"arrived." Nor is it in any narrow, con
! tracted, two-penny style 'that this great
thing is to be done. The National Gov
ernment and all its measures" are about
to be endorSedity all the "true and ear
nest friends of civil and religious liberty
in the new world.' That, now, is a'
"rally — worth making: (here shall I,ea
gathering worth attending no i.et ty s
trier " is alone to he consulted ; no' Slate

Nu pent-up Utiea cenlraete our rower. , .
But the whole bouts liesi
Think of that; my nos. ers ! Is hot
a "grand--eatly%' in clekl and in truth
And then when all the people of the
"..New World" shall "rally as a unit"
they are to have a lively time and no mis
take. They are to ''crush the rebellion "
- "terminate the war"-- , -" punish trai•
--sustain the President in "emanci
pating the slaves in the rebel States," and
in t he "suppression of disloyal sentiments
and actions thrimghout the land!" A
great programme, certainly, if, cc we cup
pose, "through Ont the laud "' means
throughout the "New World,"
whose broad expanse, we infer, the m
lions are to "rally as a unit.''
But, perhaps, we are not impressed as
we should be with the magnitude of this
business. Perhaps this "grand rally
really means ,stnething more than a
scheme to aid the promotion of a defeated
place hunter. If, so, let us suggest to the
ingenuous subscribers to this most remark
able document, that the "grand rally
or the several ggrand rallies — are a
over, and the 1 . 441 e have gone home
leaving the DemOcratic party "masters of
the situation.
That unequalled human organization,
that same invincible Democratic party, is
like a wall of adaMant to all:attacks of ab
olition fanatics, whether they conic armed
to fetter the printed thoughts, or to silence
the honest spee4l, or to limprison the
hitherto sacred p+sons, of guiltless Amer-
inns. That ea* glorious old party now
comprises, by the very latest count, the
numerical majority of thepeople, not of the
"new world . " indeed, but of the Northern
States, and it holds and will wield the
moral authority of this whole country fr6m
this time forth. it is worse than idle to
propose such a "grand rally" of a few
States, if the administration could get no
popnlur endorsement for their poli
cy, no encouragement to raise them from
the depths of their deSpair,, s ia the result
of the Late electiops.
We beg you, gentlreti*liianagers of the
'grand rally," do itiVe the trouble to
range your pop-guns for battle; before the
'ions artillery of the grand army that,
the late severe and general, engage
ment, rmlnaiued master of the Geld.

SPEECH OF JOHN VAN
BUREN.
How He Got the Letter
Though I thought the beginning of the
war unwise, I am now for my country arid
go in for the
. war to the end. It is a lu
dicrous thing that a parcel of people with
white neckcloths and white faces—("Black
hearts - )—and spectacles are running
around charging Democrats with being op
posed to the war. Did you ever hear of the
Democrats being opposed to any war?
("Never!" from Mr. Purdy.) The old
war horse says "never !" Who was it
that voted that it was unbecoming a moral
antlreligious people to rejoice at victories
achieved over the enemy ; and who that
hoped the Mexicans would welcome our
troops to their soil with bloody hands and
hospitable graves? ("Corwin, who is .
their minister to Mexico now.") Yes.
(Mr. Van Buren spoke eloquently of the
services Gen. Kearney and Col. Pratt, two
Democrats, had rendered the country.)
These two men were consistent, fearless
Democrats, and would have been here, or
in New Jersey, supporting the Democra
cy, and being charged perhaps with being
traitors, like us. I have told these abo
litionists in the country that if the Dem
ocrats had not supported the war, but left
the abolitionists to fight it out, Jeff. Davis
would be watering his horse to-day ig the
Hudson, and sacking the city of New
York. (Laughter.) The war must, be
carried on by Democrats. This leads me
to speak of the unfortunate conduct of the
war thus far. Those who profess to be the
friends of the President say he did not
properly appreciate the contest before
him. He had no cause to doubt the bra
very of the South. But General Scott
wrote to him a letter, warning him exactly
of the difficulties of the work. (Mr. Pau
Buren stated the points of the letter, and
referred to Gen. Scott's services as en
titling his judgment to consideration.) It
is a matter of serious discussion howl
came into - possession of that letter. In
the first place it was not a private letter.
The only reason I disclose how I got it is
because I happened to say that a lady was
helping me to keep the secret, and Mrs.
Lincoln came to the city shortly after;
arid, because I left tiny card where ele
was calling and the fact got into the pa
pers, everbody began to say to me, "Oh,
we know all about it, Mrs. Lincoln gave
it to you. - Gen. Scott showed me the
original draft of the letter, and, when I
handed it to him, I asked permission to
take a copy, which I did through my clerk.
After having made this copy; I said to
him, "This is one of the most important
documents I ever saw, it is a toonumentof
your sagacity and creditable to your patri•
°thou, and, as you never gave me any
thing. I would be much obliged it' you
would make a present of this to me, as all
autograph. (Applause. Mr. Van Buren
held the letter in his hand, and showed it
to the audience.) , You perceive it is as
simpie as possible. I intend to have it
photographed by that extraordinarily skill
ful man, Mr. Brady, when you willall have
an opportunity to see it. Now it was rug
gested that this letter of Gen. Scott's
should be made public, and the question
was left to a person of great judgment and
refinement to say whether this should be
done, and the decision gave me liberty to
make it public. I never said that General
Scott did not give me a copy. The wis
dom of that letter has been proved. It
was an easy thing fur the Secretary of
State to say that the war was a little
thing, and would be over in sixty days,
and to go to the extreme Northwest, when
the enemy were in the extreme Southwest,
and shout "who's afraid. - But General
Scott's sagacity and foresight have beer,
proved by events. A person of the name
of Charles King went to General Scott and
Asked him where I obtained a copy ot that
letter. The General did not choose to tell
him. He gave him such information as he
drought would be good for Charles King
to have. (Laughter. But he went down
to the office of the Evening lust end re
tailed this private conversation falsely,
knowing that he was stating what was
fake: ( Applause.) A man who signs
Himself William J. King, corner ot aeth
street and eth avenue—which corner he
don't say, and it is farther toward Haarlem
than I am acquainted—publishes a state
ment in which he says it was Charles
king, and attempts to contirru, upon the
authority of General Scott, the statement
made by Charles King. It is quite true I
nothing to General Scott nbout rend
ing' the letter, or as to my speaking at the
Cooper Institute, but the statement that I
dined uninvited with Gen. Scott is untrue.
Charles Ring wants to tey whether any
body can dine with Gen. Scott uninvited
let him try It, anti he will find hinneelf on
the sidewalk. Who Mr. William J. King
is I don't know. The Tribune says he is
It son of Charles King. That is p , lieu ht
•ie proof that the fact is otherwise.
great Laughter ) The young roan hitie
self, of course, don't knots whose son lie
is, and doesn't state, but, from the way hue
lies, I should infer lie is a son of Chitties
Kin g ;. rGTeat Laughter. ) II e says Gen.
Scutt saw the publication of the letter with
the greatest possible regret. There is not
a word of truth in that, because, as I have
said, the publication was, in a manner,
authorized. Mir. Vim Buren referred to
the fact that Charles King was the only
American he knew who ever attacked a
dead woman, as King did—Gen. Jackson's
wife, after her death—in voting, with an
other miserable abolitionist, against a res
olution of condolence with Gen. Jackson
at the Historical Society. He also re
ferred to Charles King's course in report•
ing that the shooting down some Ameri
can prisoners in cold blood in England was
a justifiable act. And thus rendered infa
mous amongst men and amongst patriots,
he has thought it important to waylay Gen.
Scott, and talk to him until he obtained
some statement on the matter of this let
, ter, and then going to the Evening Post to
falsity the statement. Accounts are mat,-
' ters I understand very little; I do not keep
them; I want to settle them all up before
election. The editor of the Evening Post
undertook to attack me with very great fe
rocity some two weeks ago. I suppose
there never was a more scandalous black
guard attack made. Several people said,
What are you going to do, are you going
to whip that man?" "No," I said, "for
then you would have htm yelping and
howling about here till after election, dis
turbing the whole country." "Well, are
you. going to sue him?''"No ; I am a
lawyer ; I never sue anybody; that is a fol
ly I leave other people to commit."
(Laughter.) So I informed Gen. Wads
worth, through the reporters at the Brook
lyn meeting, as I no better way of
communicating with him, that I should
enter upon au investigation of his private
character at Rochester, about twenty-five
miles from his residence, where the wit
news were at hand, unless the Evening
Post discontinued its assaults. If he did
! riot 'desire his character investigated, he
rust call off his dog. (Laughter.) I
have no doubt he saw what I said, for a
more well-behaved paper than the Even
ing Post since then I have not 'seen.
Laughter.) I think lam a benefactor of
the American Press. Is it not delightful,
after{ seeing a newspaper assail a man who.
sets Op for some character, scandalously
stop at tie bidding of its master, and this
hound shrinks back into its kennel without
even a whimper-or a whine. Gen. Scott's
advice was good. After fighting eighteen
months, and with a million and a half men
in the field, we have retreated back to
Bull Run, where we started from, having,
by careful measurement, advanced just
four feet. (Laughter.) One of the best
things the President ever said was when
he met McClellan, after the army got
buck into its old trenehes, "Well, Gen-
eral " he said, "I have heard of people
bein. knocked into the middle of next
wee. ; but we are the
,first people I ever
kne • who were knocked into the middle
of ast year." (Great laughter.) We
mus make More of a business of this war.
We an just as well take Richmond in six
ty,(.l. dy*as in sixty years. I will guarantee
that the Democrats will take a contract to
put t through in sixty days. (Great ap
plau e.) The fresh recruits in America
tigh as well as the disciplined soldier. You
can ust as well send half a million of men
to It chmond in thirty days as thirty years.
Aft we get to Richmond I have suggest

in this city that Wadsworth's strength lay
in the interior of the State, and I went
through looking for it, but everywhere the
Republicans told me, "We are not doing
well just here," and when I got most
through it I began to hear that Wads

Gen. Scott was callhd upon by an inti
mate friend of his, within two weeks, who
was deeply distressed at the condition of
the country, who thought Lincoln was an
honest man, disposed to do right, but re
collecting that he deposed Fremont, coun
termanded Fremont's proclamation, cor
rected Cameron's report, and told the
Chicago committee that an emancipation
proclamation would be like a "Pope's
bull against the comet," said he, "If the
man is doing his best, what can I do to
encourage him?" Said Scott, "If you
want to give him courage, elect Horatio
Seymour governor." (Tremendous ap

tio Seymour.) I am not authorized to
mention that. (Laughter.) The Aboli
tionists can go dog him to ascertain
whether it is so, and they will find it is a
fact. Mr. Van Buren closed by saying
that Mr. Fillmore does not want Wads
worth elected. Mr. Lincoln has not raid
he does. Mr. Seward's political hopes
are crushed if be is elected, and Wads-
worth himself has not said that he wanted
the election. Mr. Van Buren made an
eloquent allusion to the past associations
of Tammany Hall, and retired amid up
roarious applause, saying that they might
not hear him again in a long time.

111 CARTERS Asst' OF TO F. POTOMAC,
ltectortown, Va., Nov. s—lo p. m. )
(ieneral Pleasanton remained over night
at Markham, and this morning moved on
towards Barboris, five miles distant, and
near the mouth of Chester Gap.
Before reaching the town, he came up
with General Stuart with three thousand
men and one battery. The enemy had
their guns in a position on the hill, on the
left of the road, but were driven off.
Colonel Gregg, of the Bth Pennsylvania,
charged on a full regiment, which wasmet
in gallant style, but the rebels were corn
pleelty routed, and seventeen prisoners
captured.
As the enemy fled, Captain Saunders,
with a squad of the 6th cavalry,charged on
t'ie flank, while Pennington assailed them
with shell.
The enemy left ten dead on the field.
Our loss was one killed and five wounded.
Among the enemy's dead was one cap-
tain. The Adjutant of a Virginia regiment
hid his leg broken, and is a prisoner.
The conduct of our cavalry in this action
was splendid, and it was only necessary
for Stuart to meet them in the field to
show the enemy's inferiority.
Salem was occupied to day by General
Bayard's command of cavalry—first dri
ving the Ist Virginia cavalry from the
town, and capturing seven prisoners.
NEW Yout..., November tt.—The steamer
oriole has arrived from Newbern, N. C.,
with dates to the Both ult., and Hatteras
Inlet to the 2d inst.
An expedition is said to have left New
hern, but the destiLation Was unknown.
WAsiliso rox, November 6.—A bogus
postotlice establis.bnient has been broken
at Cairo, 111., by a special agent of the
Postottice Department. The chief mana
ger of the concern wore the uniform, and
called himself a captain in the United
State army, but upon investigation the
cheat was detected. The army of General
Grant especially will be benefitted by the
discontinuance cf . the spurious establish
ment.
The President has appointed Juan Tho
dor
_Sehepler as Consul General of San
Salvador for the United States.
R'ASUINCroN, Nov. 6. he correspon
dent of the New York Times says that dis
patches of the gravest importance, and
which may effect a change in the whole
aspect of the war were to-day submitted
by the French I egation to the Secretary of
State.
Gen. Halleck expresses the belief that
a foreign war, necessitating a levy en
masse of our hole population, would not
be an event' without large compensating
benefits. He expresses the belief that
the North has not yet begun to develope
its possible resources.
An informal meeting of the Cabinet was
held to-day, and an adjournment had to
this evening, when it reassembled at 8
o'clock, Gen. lialleck being present on
specialinvitation of the President. It is
believed that decisions of more ultimate
importance than any yet made in the course
of the war have been arrived at, and will
be announced before the et d of the week.
The air is pregnant with rumors of mili
tary and Cabiuet changes. Military
changes are positive, and it is believed
that certain Cabinet ministers regard
these changes as a condemnation, giving
them no alternative but to resign.
liou VAR, Tenn., Nov. 6—A special
dispatch to the Missouri Democrat says :
Gen. Grant, with several divisions of the
army from this place and Corinth, March
ed into Lagrange, Miss., but last night
the enemy still occupied Holly Springs,
but the opinion is entertained that they
will evacuate. The railroad will be re
pa:red by to-nioarow evening, so as to ad
mit of the passage of trains from tb2. 4 ;
place to Lagrange. A regiment from
Columbus passed down to Lagrange last
night, and another goes t,-day. The re
bels are about 60,0(.10 strong at Holly
Springs. Van Dorn is in command there.
If there is not a battle fought before many
days it will be because the enemy prefer
running to fighting.
