WASHINGTON CITE: TUERSDAY..........-..00+-.-..Jume 3, 1856. 17 Advertisements should be handed in by 12 o'clock, m., otherwise they may not appear until the next day. SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Union, in announeivg the meeting of the Demccratic National Convention at Cin- cinnati, says : " “ Tt affords ue peculiar satisfaction to add, in the same number of our paper, another sig- nal vietory to the long list of triumphs which haye been secured to the democracy during the present year. The city of Washington, which was among the first cities in the Union to adopt the wicked and proeeriptive doctrines of know-nothingism, has at last been relieved of the men, measures, and principles of a party whose course has been marked by violence and oppression. We are as yet without full re- - turns of the election held in this city yester- day; but sufficient is known to warrant the statement that know-nothingism in the federal capital has met with a most signal and unex- ed defeat. The old-line whigs of Wash- Ington have contributed’ their full share in the overthrow of ““‘Sam’” in one of his strongest and most cherished places. Here, as else- where, they have given sul evidence of their love for the Union and the Constitu- tion, and their devotion to the cause of civil and religious freedom.’’ The Union, in an article headed “Mr. Fillmore and the Slavery Question,” calls for the publication, in the Southern Know Noth- img papers, ef Mr. Kennedy’s letter, dated ‘* Baltimore, May 8, 1856.”’ It says: ‘‘At the present time there cannot be a doubt that Mr. Fillmore is hostile to the re- of the Missouri Compromise law, where- y the South obtained, in a great measure, her former position of equality in the Union. So far as we can ascertain the sentiments of Mr. Fillmore in regard to the Kansas-Nebras- ka act, by the letter of Mr. John P. Kennedy, bis admitted and accredited mt or ex nent of principles, we are satisfied that Mr. Fillmore is an anti-Nebraska man, and for all practical purposes, ocoupies almost the iden- tical position that nearly every black republi- can, in or out of Congress, sustains. Of course, we except such as are of the ultra Garrison school.’ The Intelligencer is devoted to news. ———.——. WASHINGTON NEW3s AND GOssIP The City Election—The municipal elec- tion which took place yesterday resulted in the success of Dr. Magruder, the Anti-Know Nothing candidate. The Anti-Know Nothings have elected their candidates for Aldermen and Common Council in the First, Second, and Fourth Wards; the Know Nothings have eleeted theirs in the Third, Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Wards. At all the polls of the city other than that of the northern precinct of the Fourth W ard general good order prevailed, with a few slight and unimportant exceptions. In the precinct named, at about noon in the day, a disturbance took place, the commence- ment of which is variously stated—one ver- sien, that a citizen, having had his place in the line of voters temporarily filled, on re- suming it was dragged from the line by a Ger- man named Schafer, which led to an attack ou the German, and then on the Irish who were present and in the neighborhood ; an- other, that the German and a native citizen were playing a little roughly with each other when an Irishman was also struck, who re- sented the blow, when the general melee com- menced. There is a pretty general agree- ment, however, that after the beginning of the row, the Irish were pursued, and beaten, and pelted with stones and brickbate, with very little resistance on their part ; in some cases it being represented that Irish women were struck down while trying to draw off their children or interposing to save their hus- bands or brothers. The conduct of the police is variously characterized, according to the bias and partiality or impartiality of the va- tious persons who witnessed or were engaged in the fracas. It is represented that some shots were fired by the officers, though not, we suppose with any very bad effects, as we ‘understand that noone was killed or seriously wounded. We have been informed that after the dis- turbance took place, it was with great diffi- culty that foreign-born voters could be got or induced to come to the poll; and it is believed that a number of acti-Know Nothing votes were lost in the Fourth Ward on this account. One individual, (a Know Nothing.) who fig- ured prominently at the poll, is said to have spoken to some of the anti-Know Nothings substantially as follows: ‘‘We have let the Trish vote all day up to this time; we will let no more of them vote; and the peril be on them and the native citizens who bring them here, if they try to vote.” Notwithstanding this threat, a single foreign-born voter was now and then brought forward under the pro- tection of some native anti-Know Nothing citisen, and in this way a few got their votes in. There is yet a somewhat exasperated state of feeling on account of this disturbance, bat it is to be hoped that it will subside under the good advice and sage counsels of those who, on both sides, should be the conservators of the public peace. Such a course is more eajled for since the victory of the party which bas elected its Mayor, is not complete ; the other side having, according to the published returns, elected a majority in both brauches of the City Councils. We have beard a good many statements in regard to colonizing, bat prefer to wait until they shall be Properly authenticated before we give currency to them. A Handsome Entertainment was given last night in the First Ward, at Boulanger’s, to the anti-Know Nothings of the Ward, at which brief speeches were made by the Al- dermen elect, Messrs. Riggs and Dove, and subsequently, when the election of Dr. Ma- gruder was confirmed, by him, Walter Lenox, Esq., Hon. Thomas Florence, and young Mr. Maury, the son of the late lamented Mayor. A band of music was in at-endance, and there ‘WAS 6B agresable time of it. Violation of Post Offiee Regula tions — The continued violation of the following pos- tal regulations indicate an ignorance upon the part of the public of the Provisions of the law: “To enclose or conceal a letter o thing, (except bills and receipts for pacar tion,) in, or to write or print anything after its publication upon any bewspaper, pamphiet, =, or other eaten matter, is illega}, and subjects such Printed matter, and the en- tive package of which it is ® part, to letter , Sub- gd a of Are dollars for > in such cases, if the person Tefase to pay sueh lette: postage, the pack. “ = the avi pens ton ve Ee Sines ie Prorecate the offender for the pesaits, “ames, slips er cirenlars stitched the bedy of periodicals penalty.

The preliminary business of the Convention, and the appoint ment of committees, was gone through with yesterdry, Col. Sam Medary, of Ohio, being called temporaril y to the chair. A rather exciting episode in the proceedings was occasioned, it seems, by the forcible entry of the Benton Missouri delegates, whose claims had not been recognised by the committee of arrangements, They subsequently withdrew. Should the permanent organisation of the Convention be completed to-day the decision of the claims of the contesting delegations from New York and Missouri will be the next business in order. It is stated that the committee on creden- tials have decided to admit the anti-Benton delegater.

[sy TELEGRAPH. ] Cixcrmatt, June 2—At a quarter before 12 m. the cannon gave signal for the Conven- tion to assemble. At 12 o’clock the meeting was called to order by Hon, Robt. M. McLane, of Maryland. Hon. W. A. Richardson, of Illinois, nomi- nated Sam’l. Medary, Esq., of Ohio, for tem- porary chairman; which nomination was car- tied unanimously. Mr. Hall, of Massachusetts, called for the reading of the call for the Convention While the call was being read by Mr. Eng- lish of Indiana, a sudden uproar was heard at the door, and a crowd rushed into the hall, fighting, amidst tke direst confusion. It was soon discovered that the trouble was caused by the Benton delegation from Missouri, who, resolved to enter by violence, had knocked down the doorkeeper and rushed in, headed by Ex-Gov. Price. For several minutes a scene of confusion ensued impossible to de- scribe Members jumped upon chairs, and it seomed as though a serious riot was about to take place. After awhile quiet was restored ar the reading of the éall was proceeded with. Mr. McLane, of Maryland, stated that when the credentials of the Miscouri delegates were presented the committee of arrangements gave tickets of admission to the delegation which presented prima facie evidence of election. and refused them te the others. New York was also represented by two sets of delegates; but, as the committee could not decide which were entitled to seats, they declined to give tickets to either unless they could arrange the matter amon; themselves, as was done in the case of the Mississippi delegation. Both delegations from New York now awaited ad- mission. Col. Medary, on taking the chair, returned his thanks to the Convention for the temporary honor conferred upon him. He remarked that he had attended every Democratic Convention since the first that nominated General Jack- son, and had the honor to be a member of that which nominated President Pierce. He com- mented upon the progress of Democracy and its extended influence. He believed that the cecasional storms in the party were calculated to purify the political atmosphere, and that Democracy was destined to triumph despite the temporary quarrels among the members of the party. In conclusion Mr. M. introduced the Rev. Mr. Nicholson, of Cincinnati, who made a prayer. Alex B. Clstheral, of Alabama, and Wm F. Ritchie, of Virginia, were elected tempo- a) secretaries on. A. @ Brown, of Mississippi, intro- duced a resolution admitting alternates tu seats in the hall. Mr. Harris, of Illinois, proposed that a cer- tain pro rata number from each State be ad- mitted, as the hall was not large enough to accommodate all Mr Craige. of North Carolina, moved to lay the resolution upen the table until the Convention was fully organized; which mo- tion was carried Mr. Harris, of Illinois, moved that there be appointed a committee on credentials, to con Sist of one from each uncontested State, to be selected by the delegations. The motion was carried, and the following committee was appointed : Marlow, Vt ; Whit- ney, Mass ; Burrows, R. I.; Phelps, Conn ; Cavnon, N. J.; Wright, Pa; Bayard, Del.; Scott, Md.; Garnett, a.; Heath, N.C ; Ack- ley, Ala.; Yulee, Miss.; Telford, Ind.; Bted- man, Ohio; Stevenson, Ky.; Wiggins, Me ; Thomas, Tenn.; Harris, Til; Hale, Mich ; Yulee, Fila ; Henn, Iowa; Jouran, Wis , Brent, Cal ; Caldwell, Ark.; Bryand, Tex.: Lamb, Mo; Gardner, Ga.; and loses, SC As soon as the committee was announced, Mr. Richardson, of Iilinois, rose and said that he did not desire to interfere with the quar- rels of States, but the Convention owed to itself, its dignity and propriety, that no person should be allowed to force an entrance into the hall, everpowering the doorkeeper, but should protect itselt from violence and insult. Mr. Hall, of Missouri, one of the delegates who forced the door, arose, but The Chairman refused to recognize him. The gentleman, he said, must present his grievances to the Committee on Credentials. Mr. Hall made another attempt to speak, but was interrupted by cries of ‘‘order ’ Mr. Price, of Missouri, rose and said that the delegation submitted to the decision of the her and sero withdrew. r. Bocoek, of Virginia, called attention to the fact that the seats from Missouri were con- tested, and that Mirsouri had been allowed to “Fite Minn ttee _ member was conseq: withdrawn. a Chas. W.

WwW Griswold, of Massachusetts, but woe not States. Mr. Butler said tp would see about that. Mr. Bocock, of Virginia, held as a point of order that the States must be called. The Convention was bound by the rules of the House of Representatives, so far as consistent with the 's of the Convention. The yeas and nays are always taken in the House when called for before the transaction of other business; a call for a vote by States took the same character as a call for the yoas and nays in the House. The Chair decided the call was in order. Mr. Pettit, of Indiana, called for the read- ing of the resolation he vote was then taken by Stateson laying the resolution on the table, and the motion was lost: Yeus 84, nays 177. The resolution was then adopted unani- mously. Mr. John C. Smith, of Connecticut, moved for a committee of one from each State, ex- re New York and Missouri, to hear and de- cide at once on the contested seats in those States. Ruled out of order. The following committee on a platform was then adopted: E Sayer, N. H.; C. G. East- man, Vt.; a F. Hallett, Mass.; W. B. Lawrence, R.1; Alvin P. Hyde, Conn.; E. R. V. Wright, N.

Hudson, Mo ; Gen John Hutt, Ark ichael C. Grevatt, Mich.; 8 D. Rogers, Fla.; H. P. Bee, Texas; Thos S Wilson, Iowa; Saterlee Clark, Wis ; and S. W. Inge, Cal. Mr. Black, to prove Pennsylvania’s sound- ness on woman’s rights, moved that all the front seats in the gallery be appropriated for the ladies. Cries of “ no, no.” Mr. Pettit, of Indiana opposed the resolu- tion. If the business of the Convention was the business of ladies, let them in; if not, keep them out. He yielded to no man in gallantry ; he would be glad to meet them all at proper times for all proper purposes, but not at a National Convention @ would lay the resolution to admit the ladies on the table The Convention then adjourned till to-mor- row morning Book Notices.

Inase- ries of views of the Land, Lake and River Scenery of Canada, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, from the original drawings By W. ht. Bartlett, Esq he literary depart- ment by N. P. Willis, Esq. London ahd New York: Virtue, Emmins and Roberts. Charles Emerson, Agent, Washington city. Mr. Bartlett, (whose reputation as an artist is world-wide, and whose untimely death was so much deplored,) it will be remembered, came to this country in quest of new material for his pencil, after having traversed and sketched the most picturesque portions of the Old World. From his visit to the United States and the Canadas resulted the series of sketches of American seenery, which first developed to the European eye the magnificence and beauty of American landscape. The views under notice are a portion of this collection; and a single glance at them suffices to show their remarkable freshness and beauty. The des- criptive portions by N. P. Willis, written with his usual felicity and grace, are appropriate accompaniments to the exquisite engravings. Altogether, a more beautiful book than a yol- ume of these views can hardly be imagined. Tae New Ace or Goup; Or, The Life and Adventures of Robert Dexter Kom Written by himself. Boston: Phi! ips, Sampson & Co. For sale by Taylor & Maury. Whois the author, we wonder? From the style, we should say Hermann Melville had a hand in it. It is, indeed, a delightful new Robinson Crusoe, with the man Friday omitted, or, rather, his place more than adequately supplied by a beautiful young girl. Just fancy being thrown away upon a desolate island in such company! Some of the incidents verge upon the Munchausen order, but the pleasant humor of the narra- tive beguiles us through all impossibilities, and we come out firm believers in the new Crusoe. From Nicanagva.—By intelligence received from San Juan through the steamer Orizaba, arrived at New York, it would seem that Walker is firmly established in Nicaragua not- withstanding the reports to the contrary from French sources. The news confirms the disastrous retreat of the Costa Rican invaders. Subsistence is abundant and cheap, and. so far from the troops and Walker himself being driven to ox- tremitier, as rumored a few days since, there was never the slightest probability of extreme suffering, either from famine or the ability of the Costa Ricans to follow up the battle of Rivas. The ront ofthe latter, on the contrary, was complete, and their loss eight to ten fold greater in battle than that of Walker Dis- ease and death, superinduced, in part, by the gross neglect and mismanagement of their officers, completed the disaster to the invaders, and it seems questionable whether more than a third of the army survived to reach their own territory again. At the battle of Rivas, it is stated, Walker could only bring two hundred men into ac- tion, the rest of his army refusing to fight, either from total exhaustion or from coward. ice. These two hundred are said to have killed and wounded three times their own number of the the enemy. This is probably pears pea but there is no doubt that Walk- er’s keen marksmen did a vast deal more damage than they suffered. The Transit route was again free, and there was no British blockade, as reported? Cap- tain Tarleton, of the British frigate Eruydice, informed the American Minister that he had no instructions to interpose apy interruption to the landing of passengers or munitions of war. cKe4 FAIR, FOR THE BENEFIT OF the Fifteenth street Presbyt’n Church, will open THIS AFTERNOON, at 4 o'clock, in the large Hall, on the corner of 9'h and D streets. and continue until 12 o’clock every evening until further notice.
