EVENING STAR. — WASHINGTON CITY: TUESDAY AFTERNOON ...... October 2. —————__ {>} Apventisemenrs should be handed in by 12 o'clock, M., otherwise they may not ap- Pear until the next day.. ————@qW~—“oe__. WASHINGTON NEWS AND GossiP. The Enow Nothing Meeting, last night, at the Navy, Yard was well attended, some fi- teen hundred or two thousand persons being present, four or five hundred of whom came down in procession with transparencies and music from other weds of the city, accompa- nied by aswivel, which ever and anon “woke the babies’’ in the neighborhood. The spot chosen was in front of the Anacostia engine- house, where a commodious and substantial Stand was duly creeted and decorated wit) the usual crowd-drawing insignia of a politi- cal meeting at night in the open air. The of- ficers of the meeting were as follows : President—George R. Wilson. Vice Presidents—James M. Dorsell, 1st do. ; John Wilson, 2d do. ; Jos. W. Davis, 3d do. ; Middleton Dirckhead, 4th do. ; John McCau- ley, Sth do.; William Hutchinson, 6th do. ; Richard H. Stewart, 7th do. Secretaries—Capt. James 8. Piper and Jno. Thomp:2on. Among the other prominent Know Nothings on the stand, we saw there Mr. John Wilsor, ex- Commissioner of the General Land Office, Capt. F. Asbury Tucker, Mr. John P. Hilton, and Mr. James A. Gordon, ex-member of the Washington Council from the Sixth Ward. Coleman Yellott, Esq., of Baltimore, was the first speaker. He reviewed the old issues between parties in the United States, and con- tended that formerly the country and constitu- tien were safe, which ever party triumphed— but not so now. The danger he attributed to the foreign element in our population, which was striving to take from the hands of Ameri- cans the power to rule America. He contended thatin struggling to perpetuate the rule of America in American hands, the Know No- things were acting strictly in accordance with the example of their fathers of °76. He pre- ferred being ruled by the British King and Par- liament, to the rule of the rough-seruff of Eu- rope now coming to this country in such swarms. Twenty-five years ago, a Native American party was not necessary, but famine in Ireland and Continental revolutions had precipitated such hordes of ignorant and vicious foreigners on us—at the rate of 500,000 per annum, and two-fifths of them being grown males—as to alarm all patricts for our country’s future. These two-fifths were ready all to become voters in four years, many of them actually voting in as many weeks. Mr. Y. next re- viewed the history of the naturalization laws et Maryiand and the United States, showing that it had once been found necessary to ex- tend the term before naturalization to four teen years, which was in aceordance with the principle of the Know Nothings, who now con- tend for twenty-one years, under the change that has had occurred in the character of the emigration to our shores. He contended that most of the emigrants now coming are of a dangerous and bad class, which was not the case in times past. They were the outpourings of the jails, alms houses, and penitentiarics of the Old World, who come now tv help to govern us. Two fifths of the whole, as per custom-house returns, are grown male d arz ready to become voters— aa annual ease of the foreign vote equal to the whole vote of Maryland and Virginia in the late presidential election. The Know Nothings are determined to check this evil. Foreigners do not understand this government, and aim to change—to subvert—it. So, in de- fending it, they (the K. N.’s) are patriotic. He deseribed the evil of the Chinese emi- gration to California. This Administration had gone to work to increase the foreign emi- gration—to increase thus the foreign vote, on which it relied. Pierce was originally pledged to prevent the slavery agitation, but turned round to hatch up the Nebraska scheme; and had filied the offiees at home and abroad with foreigners, and thus advertised for more foreigners to come over togovern America. The only ques- tion Soule settled was, whether M’me Soule’s neck dress was in the tip of the fashion, or next to it. Hunter's land bill was another advertise- ment fer foreign emigration He commented with severity on the prizciple of giving the public lands to actual settlers, which, he said, was the second plaok in the Pierce platform. Sam shock his grizzly locks, and the Pierce men dropped the (Hunter’s) bill. He deprecated the annexation of Cuba, as be- ing designed to bring in a million of Catholic foreigners, which measure Sam had also knock- edonthehead. So, also, did he defeat the aequisition of the Sandwich Islands. Sam de- served thanks for warding off these evils. Maryland was for Sam, without doubt, by from 6,000 to 10.000 majority Four in every five counties of the State will vote for him. Baltimore will give from 2.000 to 3,000 major- ity. He was for defending the common school fystem of this country, that our people may remain the frecst and most enlightened people in the world. This system was threatened by the foreigners, and the Pierce party ar. for opening still wider the dirty sluices of emigra- tion. He urged bis hearers to persevere in the good work, and said that though the names of Whig and Democrat were glorious, that of * American”? was more glorious than either. (Cheers.) Mr. Henry Winter Davis then took the stand and discussed the circumstances under which Pierce came into power with a tremendous majority, which became a minority in two years. This change in popular sentiment was unequalled in American politics. It is either typical of the frivolity of the peopie, or of a round reason for the change. He was here to fix on the Administration this remarkable change He described the Herculean labors ef the Union party in 1850, and said that Scott was defeated on suspicion of affiliation with Seward. That was a mad dog ery to conceal their own iniquities, reminding him of the fair cyprian, caring for her skirts, on a muddy day. This was proved by the favor of the Adwinistration for the Free Soil De- mocracy of New York. The latter had been starved into submission by four years absti- nence from the public plunder. Their return to the Democratic party was a coalition of in- “terests, and not a combination of principle ; ‘and it had elected Pierce, as he described; contending that the pretences of unionism were falee. The distribution of the spoils was at the bottom of the union. Every faction was represented in the Cabinet, as he explained in * “He recounted the pecuiar sffiuities of each member of the Cabinet, and said that the Postmaster Genoral was not only a Catholic, but a Free Soiler; and he deprecated them all seriatim. There were not enough spoils for both wings in New York, and the Free Soilers insisted on all. He denounced the conduct of the Administration in distributing the spoils in New York. It was proclaimed, he con- tended, in Guthrie’s letter to Bronson, that the Free Soilers were to be paid in plunder. Such had been the conduct of the men who opposed Scott on the charge of his affiliation with Sewarf. Reeder’s appointment proved the Free Soil affinities of the Administration, and his removal without grounds left the Ad- ministration without friends, substantially. The men who, in the main, constitute the American party, were emphatically from the Democratic ranks. The great change in pub- lic sentiment thus manifested had been brought about by the misconduct of the Administra- tion. [Cheers.] He was not here to vindicate the American party, and appealed only for its vindication to the ballot box. They (his party) disfranchise no man now entitled to vote. He deprecated foreign nationalisms in ours, which had been encouraged by both the old partics, who had sought to do that very bad thing. He next repeated at length the usual Know No- thing argument of the danger from the char- acter of the emigration at this time seeking our shores; and contended that the Know Nothings were simply taking care that Amer- icans only shall rule America; and he ap- pealed to all Americans to sustain them in it. In the course of his remarks, Mr. Davis was exceedingly abusive of the gentlemen, individ- ually, composing the Government, launching at ticm all sortsof epithets with surprising volubil- ity. Ho also indirectly severely censured the Whig party for its many shortcomings and bad principles and practices, maintaining that it had washed its hands of Know Nethingism, as was manifest in the course of Senator Pratt, Reverdy Johnson, and the strong Whig places in his district, to which his opponent, Mr. May, looked for the increase of his vote. It struck us that this could hardly be the same Whig party—this vile and unpatriotic and unreliable concern, which Mr. Davis so praised whez « Whig elector in the canvass of 1852. There was nothing new in his speech whatever— nothing which any well-posted boy of eighteen years of age might not have refuted in half the time occupied in the delivery of his re- marks. It is clear from his efforts of last evening that, in the rough-and-tumble debate on the hustings, Mr. Henry May is to have a soft and incompetent antagonist. The meeting was an exceedingly quict— tame—one, the many opponents of the Know Nothings in the crowd refraining, with scru- pulous care, from interfering, by sign or word, with the right of free speech. However, in the course of the evening some miscreant in the crowd Lurled a stone at the stand, which struck an individual standing next to the Star’s editor, whose presence on the stand taking notes was very distasteful to many fool- ish friends of the meeting, who indulged in loud grumbling against the courteous officers of the night who invited him on the stand and did every thing in their power to facilitate his business there. It was impossible to find out who threw the stone or at whom it was aimed. On the whole, this meeting was a very respe:t- able and well conducted affair, its result being simply, the; generation of the impression that Henry May, Esq., is to have an opponent on the stump by no means cyual to the task of contending, in that position at least, with him. Affairs in Nicaragua.—The news from Nic- aragua, received this morning, tells the tale of the purposes of Kinney and his companions in arms in language which is not to be mis- taken by the most ardent believer in their late peaceful protestations. Kinney has put him- self at the head of a ‘ provisional govern- ment,’’ at San Juan del Norte, with young Mr. Thayer, (who was the New York Evening Post's Washington correspondent last winter,) as his Secretary of State! He has, notwith- standing the grandiloquent language of his first message or pronunciamento, only about fifty ragged urmed fcllowers—the town’s peo- ple, who are without any governmental au thority, agreeing to accept the government of this precious crew. Fillibuster Walker in a recent battle near Rivas, has defeated the troops of the govern ment with a loxs of some fifty men, losing one white man and four natives on his side. He publishes in the New York Herald a long diplomatic letter to Sceretary Marey, wherein he justifies his acts of plunder upon American citizens there, on the ground that be is in the service of the Leon revolutionists, whom he claims to be the rightful government of the country. Those acts, it strikes us, will shortly be punished by the United States, who, we presume, will despatch after him another ex- pedition, as they did from California into Mexico, when he first commenced his career of robbery and murder under the plea of his right to enlist under the banner of Mexican revolutionists. His recklessness in invading the territory of nations with whom the United States are at peace, is equalled by his im- pudence in attempting to justify his conduct in a newspaper diplomatic correspondence addressed to this government, in which he argues boldly for the “right of the heath.” Ex-Governor Seymour.—The speech of ex- Governor Seymour, of New York, delivered on Friday night last, at Tammany Hall, is the most statesman-like discourse we ever read, coming from that so-famous political head- quarters. It is destined to bring its author instantly into prominence as a public man, making his reputation hereafter national— bounded only by the confines of our whole country. It was not before known out of his State that he was a man of an enlarged scope of intellect and statesman-like attainments. Tammany Hall has yoted to print 50,000 copies of the speech for gratuitouscirculation. Three times that many have already found their way to the public ia the New York papers of Saturday last, and one hundred times, or five millions of copies, will be spread before the world in less than thirty days, in the columns of various newspapers from Maine to Louisiana that will republish it. He has placed himself and the Democracy of his State, whose admit- ted leader at home-he is, upon unmistakable ground, whercon they will be able to meet the assaults of any combination of their oppo- nents; his principle with reference to the sla- very question being capable of triumphant de- fence in all its parts before any audience in any State of the American Union. Marched Out.—Hon. J. W. Foster, the presi- deat of the Know Nothing State Council of Massachusetts, bas formally abandoned the order, for the new “‘Republican”’ organization. So, also, has Senator Heniy Wilson, who went | to the recent Worcester Republican conven tion a warm supporter of Governor Gardiner and the ‘‘ American party.” At that conven- tion he was asked by Mr. John Rogers, of Mansfield, a member of the last Legislature, who had worked and voted for Wilson’s elec- tion, “‘ How he (Wilson) could consistently use his endeavors to overthrow a political organi- gation from which he had received the most desirable office within the gift of the people of Massachusetts ?’? and he (Wilson) replied: “T'll blow the whole thing (the American par- ty) to hell and damnatign!”’ In the course of one of his speeches there he is reported as having said : “have acted with every political party—I have acted against eve litical party in this Commonwealth, and t aiwriepe have aban- doned every political party whenever I have found one that would do more to carry out my principles. And asI have acted in the past so I shall act in the future.” With such developements before the eycs of the public, it will be difficult, indeed, to es- cape the conclusion that the dominant wing of Northern Know Nothingism went into the or- ganization wholly to use it to Abolitionize the majority of the voters of the North. The Milk in the Cocoa-Nut.—The late Abolition demonstrations of the Albany Atlas have attracted quite as much attention and given rise to as many different speculative theorios with reference to the present animus of that journal, here, aselsewhere. We know that they are mistaken who attribute to those demonstrations the slightest political import- ance Tho truth is, Mr. Van Dyke, one of the proprictors of the At/as, has for some time past been anxious to sell out his interest in the paper, and asks a price which those own- ing the other interest do not feel warranted in paying, and will not pay. The editor, Mr. Cassidy, has been absent for some time from Albany, and in his absence the articles in question have been inserted by Mr. Van Dyke, evidently in the hope of thus inducing moneyed men interested in the success of the new Republican organization to buy his share of the paper athis price. Thus, the new course of the -4¢/as is merely to further Mr. D.’s pe- cuniary operations, and cannot be attributed directly or indirectly to the Democratic State committee, the editor, or to any prominent man or men in the Democratic party of New York. The whole matter is well understood at Albany, and also in Washington by those who are familiar with the ins and outs of New York politicians.

The mail between this city and the infected districts being tri weekly at presen‘, nd yester- day not being the day for its arrival, wo are without our usual advices; but we learn, by the way of Richmond, that in Norfolk there were sevon deaths, by yellow fever, on Friday, and three on Saturday In Portsmouth, on Saturday, there were thirteen deaths. No new cases were reported in either city on Sat- urday. A letter from Portsmouth informs us of the death of young Thaddeus Brownley, son of James Brownley, and of tho serious illness of several members of the family. All the fever cases in Mr. Wm. Pettit’s family are conva- lescent. At the time of writing there was every prospect of a total disappearance of the epidemic. Mr. Robert Copeland, who left this city some two months since to assist in nursing the sick, we learn from the same source, is down with the fever. Dr. McFarlane, of New Orleans, who has rendered such efficient and faithful service at Norfolk, arrived in this city on Sunday morn- ing last. He brings the gratifying intelligence that the yellow fever has ceased to exist as an epidemic in both Norfolk and Portsmouth, and that the physicians from abroad who have ren- dered such heroic service during the pestilence had been notified that their aid could happily be dispensed with after the lst of October. Dr. McFarlane informs the editor of the Union that more cases of black vomit fell under his observation at Norfolk than he witnessed du- ring the whole of his long practice in New Or- leans. Making the necessary allowance for the difference in population, he is of the opin- ion that the yellow fever deaths at Norfolk were much larger than was ever known during the most fatal yearsin New Orleans. The ma- lignity of its type iswithout parallel in this country. The nurses were leaving Norfolk and Ports- mouth in large numbers, about forty having gone South on Saturday. The Rev. Wm. M. Jackson, of the Episco- pal Church, Norfolk, who was reported dead, still survived at the last accounts, with some hopes of his recovery. He had charge of the orphans in the lecture room of Christ church. Three of the esteemed clergymen of Norfolk havo lost their wives—the Rev. Aristides Smith, Rey. Lewis Walke, and the Rev. Geo. D. Armstrong. Two, the Rev. Messrs. Dib- rell and Jones, of the M. E. Church, have fal- len with their harness on. A correspondent of the Richmond Dispatch, speaking of the wife of the Rev. Mr. Arm- strong, of the Presbyterian church in Norfulk, says: % The wife, the wifo’s sister, and the daugh- ter of this esteemed divine and faithful pastor, have, in a few short days, been torn from the family circle, and he now stands almost soli- tary and alone in the deserted chambers of his home.”’ Dr. Henry Selden, of Norfolk, and his two children, after arriving at Hampton last week, were taken with the fever, but are recover- i Miss Heath and Miss Briggs, before re- k, are now nearly well. The child B. Pollock is dead, and its mother Norfoik. Dr. Hargrove, of Richmond, is also said to be ili in Norfolk. — GEORGETOWN CORRESPONDENCE. Groncrrown, Oct 2, 1855 Trade upon our canal continues gradually and steadily to impreve. The receipts for tolls at the Georgetown office last week amount- ed toa fraction over $3,000, showing an in- crease over the preeeding week. The inspections of flour, as reported by friend Shoemaker for the quarter ending Sey- tember 30, amounts to 35757 barrels. For the ensuing quarter they will doubtless double those of the last, or very nearly so. The flour market this morning is firm and active with an upward tendency. All that was offi yesterday and this morning was taken (1 ly by shippers) at $8 25, showing an advance of 25 cents per bbl. since Saturday last.
