YORK HERALD. Friday, October 13 Crear Lirenstune —The following have just been published, and are for sale at this office, together with all the latest publications of the day, at the wholesale and retail prices—The Irish Melodies, by Thomas Moore ; The Wrongs of Women, by Charlotte Elizabeth The Monikins, by Cooper; Mrs. Ellit’s Housekeeping Made Easy, or Complete Instructor in all branches of Cookery and Domestic Eeonomy. County AssemBty Convenrion.--The delegates (t the Demacratic party,seleeted to nominate thir- ecu candidates for the Legislature, met last evening at Tammany Hall. The Calhoun delegates of the Niath and Fourteenth wards which were contested, were admitted by large majorities in their favor,and trom the complexion of the convention it is reasona- ble to presume that a ticket composed of about half who are fnendly to Van Buren for the Presidency, and the remainder who have another first choice, will receive the nomination. There is searcely an end to the candidates who have offered their names and who wereput in nomination tothe convention ‘ast evening, and it will theretore not be from want of the raw material if a good ticket is not selected. ‘fter the usual preliminary business, the convention adjourned till Monday evening next,without making ony nominations. ‘The convention to nominate sherifl, county clerk and coroner, meet again this evening to endeavor to arrive at some result. They have already been in session three times, without making any nomina- tion, and a like adherence on the part of the dele- gates to their favorite candidates will prevent any nomination from being made by the present body. Had they sterling republicanism sufficient to vote viv2z voce, instead of by ballot, a nomination wouid soon be effected, but we cannot expect such a dis play of fairness where all is trick, trap, and trede. At the last meeting there were fifteen ballotings, of which Emmans received 447 votes—Attwood 4ll—and Westervelt 361. The Seaman vote was changed and shified in favor of either of the above candidates to suit their own peculiar notions. Should the convention be un- able to nominate at the meeting to-night, they had better resign their posts into the hands of the people, and let a new election follow for others who can better carry out the wishes of the democratic com- munity. The American Republican} Party, as it is called, have made the following nominations, to be sup; ported by the friends of those opposed to all nomi nations for office except native born American citi- zens. ForSenator, Mangle M. Quackenboss. Mr. Q. was in nomination betore the late democratic convention that selected Mr. Jones. For County Clerk, Horace’ Loofborrow, late Mayor’s Clerk under the whig corporation. For Sheriff, Charles Henry Hall, of the 12th ward. For Coroner, Dr. J. C Forrester, of the 14th ward. It is very uncertain whether any of these candidates, except Mr. Quack- enboss, will consent to serve, as they will fear doing injury to their political friends in nomination for the same offices. These nomiuations are to be sub. mitted to a general meeting to be held on Monday evening next, at the public square in Christopher be- tween Greenwich and Washington streets Sream Sup Great Western, Carr. Hosken.— This very successful and fortunate steamer, on her next visit to this city, will be under the command of another Captain. Her present commander leaves her on his return from the present voyage, to take command of the Great Britain. It is nearly six years since she first made her appearance in our wa- ters, during which time she has not met with the slightest accident, or been detained an hour beyond her fixed time for departure. She has transported more people across the broad Atlantic than any other ship afloat. She has made the quickest voyages from portto port—distaace considered—than any other steam ship. Capt. Hosken, by his gentlemanly attentions and .planter? But with this stuff, Mr. Ritchie is going to B | og choice morcezw trom the Express of yesterday g. We think that for amiability of feeling, toee ot argument,and dieplay of sense, it has seldom been equatied. ew York has reason to be proud indeed thatan editor, so well informed, so sagacious, and of views eo elevated, condeseends to acknow- ledge himself the head of the New York press. Mr. Ritchie will no doubt think himself well schooled in the foliowing extract: “We commence this day our war upon the whigs,” quoth the editor of the Richmond Enquirer of the 10th, as if he had not beencontinually at war upon whig principles for about fifty years or more! What, however, most astonished us in this com- mencement, is, that he calls upon the New York Herald formally to help him on, and help him out. The aliine aravely says:— “ We attach great importance to many articles i the New York Herald.” oe * * * ° * * “We beg leave, most respectfully, to present this question to the deliberate ponsiderstion ofMr. Ket- tell, the able author of the monied articles in the New York Herald, as well as to ask of hima verifi- cation or contradiction of the statement made at the beginning of this article, on the authority of the friend who has just returned from the city of New York. We ask of the New York Herald the best estimate it can obtain of the receipt of the Custom Houses, as well as of the general condition and re- sources of the Treasury. e ask it in no idle spirit of curiosity, but from asincere desire to assertain the truth, and to lay ‘t before the public. “We agree thoroughly with Mr. Ketrellon the op- pressive character of the existing tari! n the abso- jute necessity of reducing it at the next session of Congress. and, if possible, down to the compromise point. Will Mr. K, oblige us, still further, by making the best estimate from the materials in his power of the amounts of the revenue, which may be caleula'ed on, from the Custom House, on the basis oi the compromise point? We should take it as a particular tavor, if he would torward us these views ina letter for publication—in case he does net find it convenient or compatible with his plans, to throw them into the Herald. We know of no person, within our reach, whe is so well qualified to give us the desired information—and whose views would carry with them so much weight as his; or, we would save him the jtrouble of making this esti- mate.” Well, thisis excellent. Mr. Ritch is just going to begin an Anti-Tariff War upon ihe Whigs, and lo, Cassius, help me, is the cry, or I sink. To us New Yorkers, it is one,of the most amusing spectacles in the world to see such presses as the ichmond Enquirer, the Washington Globe, and the Albany Argus adopting the money articles of the NewYork Herald as grave articles to electioneer with, and to help Van Buren along. Too lazy themselves, or having too much respect for them- selves to manufacture statistics for their party, they resort to the fictions and falsehoods of an article so notoriously beneath contempt in the city where they are made, that no journal, either whig or loco- foco, pays the least attentiontothem. They are unnoticed and unanswered here, because it is not supposed that there are any people, evenamong the readers of Mr. Ritchie, that can in the least credit them. As a present example of their estimation here, look at lilinois stocks, which a manufactured letteria the money article of the Herald attempted to Sid up, a day or two after the arrival of the Aca- v dia, but which, notwithstanding the puffing there, have fallen seven per cent. Can itbe possible that the well educated agricul- tural population of Virginia are to be duped with New York-made statistics, that neither whig nor locofoco press here in the city held in sufficiently decent respect to notice? Is the charivari stuff of a New Yopk populace good enough for the Virginia commence the war, and to act out his part in keep: ing up that stupendous fraud, which has tor twenty years trailed in the dust the trade, and the resources of one of the most naturally and physically gifted States of the Union! Virginia, however, must sooner or later burst through the night in which Mr. Ritchie would cloud her. This farcical effort calling upon the satirist and charivari journal of a populace to enlighten Virginia planters, is the crowning effort ef the ridi- diculous, as if our offal should be theirdiet! Vir- ginia has mines and water power that cannot always put up with such delusion. Her own negroes, that rise or failin value, as manufacturers go up or go down in the vicinity of Richmond, will put an end to it. Her great wheat crops rising or falling as the mouths of manufacturers demand them at home, will stop it. Nothing indeed, but the peculiar ge- nius of Mr. Ritchie, as editor of a widely circula- tiug journal, could have kept these great tacts so many years from the observation of Virgiuians,— and the day when they are emancipated from his prejudices, and his influence will be of as mach ya- lue to them, as was Mr. Jefferson’s Declaration of skillal management, while in command of the Great Western, has made many warm friends, who willever take great interest in his welfare and suc- cess with his new command and increased respon- sibility. We hope our citizens will, betore his departure, manifest in some substantial manner the high re- spect entertained of him asa gentleman and a sai- lor, by the New Yorkers in particular. Could not a public dinner be given him at the Astor. Tue Dec Trape.—The Rev. David Hale, after a crusade of some years against the apple women in Wall street, finally triumphed gloriously in the wreck of pea nuts and the crush ot cake. The elderly women and decrepid men who gained an honest living by supplying the little wants of the frequent- ers of the Post office and Exchange, were put to route. Those in the habit of eating candy and cracking nuts during business hours, must now take a glass of brandy and water instead. We congratu- late David on his triumph, and with deep feelings of respect for his prowess, would call his attention to a fair held every day before the Exchange building, for the eale of dogs. It will make his mouth water to behold the collection of animals there displayed ‘The object of the fair we have not ascertained, nor why there should suddenly spring up such a demand for dogs. It has long been known that commercial disaster overstocked this devoted city on the disap- pearance of Bob White from the steps of the Man- hattan Baak. Nota few of the brokers, dwelling upon the events of past years, shake the head saga. ciously, and say the re-appearance of the dogs is a good omen for Wall street. David’s prognostica- tions of ‘‘jand ho!” never turned out successfully until the dogs appeared, and his mysterious silence on the subject now, inducesthe belief that the “ dog star” is in the ascendant Wicxuirre’s Erricient Post Orrice Depart- ment.—An Albany paper of Wednesday has the following paragraph :—** We are indebted to Post Master General Wickliffe’s Express? for an extra Baltimore Patriot of Saturday, received twenty- four hours too late to be of the least use to us.” By private conveyance it would have been received in time to be useful. Tue Putuapevpata Custom House.—What mean the following inquiries made by the Philadelphia Gazette? Is there to be some astounding disclo- sure in the Custom House of that city? The siguifi cant paragraph is as follows :— Tue Custom Hovse—Questions FOR THOSE WHO CAN ANSWER.— Will any one inform us whether itis a fact that ia one of the departments of the Custom House very few or none of the subordinates, except the laborers, have been paid on account of their work forsome time past? Will any one inform us whe ther the head of that Department has drawn the funds which ought to have been paid to his subordi nates? Will any one inform us, it his subordinates have not been paid, whether the funds have been mis applied —used for personal and private purposes, or for the support of Tylerism in Philadelphia? We do not intend to comnmit ourselves with charges against any one until the fullest proof isin our possession — andit isnot yet. But we have heards rumors which render our queries proper, and we beg the sufferers, all my bere be, to have the independence to answer r ylerism bas just sixteen months to live in of fice and not that long in any other sense.

In relation to the peeple of Virginia, their intelligence and good sense have long led them to look to Mr. Ritchie with a respect, which they never,in the smallest degree,can entertain for a New York abolitionist editor, although the disappointed collateral proprietor of a plantation at the south.

We recently received a letter detailing the crime of a clergymaninPlattsburgh,to which we simply alluded instead of publishing the ietter which we received, because there are men who sometimes are wicked enough to fabricate stories which have a tendency to injure innocent individuals, and we do not conceive that we used an excess of caution. Now, however, we have additional infermation, which leaves us ne room to doubt, and as many, too many, resort to the church and to the priest- hood asa secular profession in which, while most severely illiberal on all the rest the world, they indujge in a life anything but holy, and in vices and crimes the most revolting, we deem ita public duty to give a proper exposure to such as are proved to be gui'ty of hypocrisy and villainy. The case to which we have alluded appears then to be this :— The Reverend L. Reed, Presbyterian minister of Plattsburgh, has seduced a young girl, a member of his church, and for six months, while “ ministering in holy things” at the altar, he has been violating one of the commands of the Supreme Being, whom he professes to serve, and with atrocious and impi- ous hypoerisy, while conducting a ‘* protracted meeting.” These facts themselves speak louder than any words that we could utter, ‘The discove- ry was made very recently through a confidante of the victim of the hoary hypoerite, to whom in fe- male confidence she “related her experience.”— From one young lady it was told to another and another, ‘* confidentially,” until it reached one who brouglit it before the church. A committee was thereupon appointed to wait upon the Reverend gen- deman, but tor atime he stoutly denied the accusa- tion; ultimately, however, he confessed the whole, and then absconded from the place. The young lady whom he seduced and her parents were mem- bersot the villain’s church, and he has himself a wife and three children (the eldest about 20) whom he has for the present abandoned. The grief of the young lady’s father, and the indignation of the inha- bitants is said to be very great. The following is the copy of a publication which has been made in the village where the occurrance took place:— Lo, here amI! “Let him that thinketh he standeth, take heed lest he fall.” Even ina lage as moral and righteous as Plattsburgh is, excrescences and festers, which arise from corrupt principles, will sometimes ap. pear; aud when they do, we deem it the duty of every citizen, who has the interest of the community at heart, to make efforts to the best of his power, although they may be feeble, to prevent their dissemination and root out the rottenness. When we are daily witnessing acts of the grossest hypocrisy, which are being committed by men who set themselves up as a standard for morality and piety, and as examples by which the youth of our com- munity are to mark out their future course through this life of trials and temptations, we feel it our duty to give a timely warning to the unwary and credulous of the evils that beset them, and let them understand, in language not to be misunderstood, that those presenting the fairest ex- terior are not always possessed of the purest hearts. We make these few remarks by way of introducing a subject which is now familiar with every person in this community. All are aware of the villamous transaction that was brought to light afew days since, in which a holy man of God—the pastor ot the Presbyterian Church in this village—is the prominent actor. “This man—the Rev. (!) Mr Reed—a religious hypociite— who, for the more casy accomplishment of his hellish designs, pre- tended a greater degree of piety than his neighbor—who was zealous enough for religion in public, but miserably deficient of morality iu private—was the cause of ruining a young and inexperienced girl—a member of his church —and blighting :ue fondest hepes of parents, who, in an evil and unguarded hour, allowed a man free access to their domestic circle, whose only (and as they deemed sutticient) recommendation for morality was his holy call- in sg. Instances of the kind above mentioned are of daily oc- currence throughout the country. If we look into the annals of our courts of law, it will be found that religious teachers are as liable to the grosser passions o/ our natures as others—it will be seen that ministers of almost every denomination have been brought forward charged with this offence, and in almost every case found guilty on the fu lestevidence. The reason ofthis is obvious, and may be explained in afew words. Our clergy, with few ex- ceptions, are an indolent class ot men. Their vocation does not make it necessary for them to put themselves to any manuel labor—their only care is to prepare the re. quisite sermons for Sunday—(an easy matter, by the by) — the remainder of their time Spent in “visiting their flock” and stufling their precious bodies with little “nick. nacks” sent them irom their “stuffed” congregations, By this manner of living, they enlarge tneir corporalions, and tneir minds become corrupt from the consequent in- action of those faculties which nature intended never should lie dormant. Clergymen have more frequent and favorable opporta- nities for indulging their carnal propensities than aay other class of men; and against this sometimes unfortu- nate, and always unnecessary freedom, every head of a family should guard against. The avscations of minis. ters bring them oftener into contact with tue females of their congregations, it being an important part of the pas toral duty to visit the members of their churches at their dwellings, and bold ‘religious conversation” with them. ‘These visits are chiefly to the ludies—the minister finds them alone—the male part of the family is generally out of doors at their various avocations—our pastors have abundence of leisure on their hands, and it would be markable if they were not brought into contact with fe- males less able to withstand their artful addresses than others—less practised in the ways of the world. in the case above recorded. Aside from visiting, our divines have other “holy priviliges” which are eftentimes most villainously abused. We refer to the holding of nightly “prayer meetings”—" lectures”—‘“class meetings”—“fe- male prayer meetings’--“‘sewing .” &e., at which our man of God 1s in constant attendance. Then, in times of great “revivals,” what a holy solace it is to the hearts of those pious men, toseek out the “inquiring” sin- ner and breathe forth the pure feelings of their hearts— and steal the holy kiss—tell of our Saviour’s “loving kindness,” and partake of the pure embrace—all of which none but the truly pious pastor can appreciate. Ob, crackee! who would not be “ our minister”? These assertions of ours may seem very bold, and savor of blasphemy; but they nre nevertheless true—beyond contradiction -for undeolable proof can be produced to substantiate every assertion we have made—aye, and more. These things have occurred in our village, and alas, are of too great avtoriety to bo doubted. We wish it to be understoodthat we are not aiming a blow at the cause of religiou—far {rom it—that isa separate and dis. i subject; but we regret that there are not more among its professors, who, by their “daily walk and con- versation,” can give better examples of its purity. We have made these remarks only to show that there is too much distinction made between those who profess and those who donot; when oftentimes the non-professor leads a more exemplary life than his more fortunate neighbor the professor. ‘The young ladies, (heaven bless and preserve them— the married ones oughtto know enough to take care of themselves, or their husbands should do it,) will, we trust, profit by the unfortunate experience of their young companion. They should lears to trust only in God, and be goversed by the pure precepts of virtue and moralit; —the dictates of conscience and reason. They should Jearn from this, too, to respect virtue and morality though clotned in rags; and that the “good society” of priests and the indolent gentry, so much courted and prized by them, is not alwave the safest for their reputations, or the most favorable for the advancement of their youthful minds in useful arts or religious refinement. Ruestuu’s PLanetartuM.—As much interest is felt in the case which has recently occupied the attention of the Vice Chancellor in relation to Rus- se|l’s Planetarium, (the injunction on which is now dissolved) we have obtained the following report of the jud;ment given by the Vice Chancellor on Wednesda: His Howon said, that on hearing the bill in this cause he impression produced upon his mind wai ming os proved, all the allegations set forth ficient grown Js fo: interference of the court ‘That the (the plaintiff, Gouraud, in eatigation before a court of common law, and must in due timecome before a jury ; curity, justifying in the total amount of $4,800, n for all claims which Gouraud might establish, and that the sufficiency of (his security was not disputed’ or denied. Thot therefore Gouraud, having ample means of redress at common law, the exercise of the extraordinary interference of this court by injanctisn seemed uncalled for, and that the court would view with suspicion a party seeking such remedy without strong necessity. But as the qucstion was not now before the court on its merits, buton the omission of proper service of the bill on the detendants, his honor would not dissolve the injunction on the matter of the bill. Since, hewever, Dr. Lardner and the other defendants were proved to be subject to heavy low by delay he would require Gourend to find immed:ately two sureties justifying in $12 000 each, in default of which the injunction should be dissolved — Bui in the event of such sureties being given, the defen. dants should still be at liberty to move the dis- solve the injunction on the meritsof the case, sox The required suretiee not being given, thednjunc- tion is accordingly dissolved, and Dr. Lardner ha: announced his first lecture in the Tabernaele fo: this evening. z Vise Dr. Larduer has expressed his wish that it should be stated that between himself and Professor Gou- raud tvere exists no Sontroyersy or misunderstand ing. Although nominally a defendant to the bill in chancery, he is not in reality a party to it, the con- tract to which it relates having been made betore his connection with the instrument, and the Doctor being secured against all pre-existing claims by the former owners. Nor does Dr. Lardaer wish to reter to Mr. Gouraud in any other terms than those o! personal respect and courtesy.

This convention was organized yesterday mor- ning, at the repository of the institute, in the Park. There was a very good attendance of persons inte- rested in the production and manutacture of silk. Mr. Stebbins, of Massachusetts, was called to the chair, and Mr. ‘Harrison, of New Haven, appointed secretary. Messrs. Barbour, Smith and Meigs were appointed a conamittee to nominate officers of the convention, who reported the following ticket, which was elected :— For President—Genera) James Tallmadge. Vice Presidents—John W. Gill, of Ohio ; Dr. D. Steb- bins, of Massachusetts ; H. Pitkin, of Connecticut ; G., W. Murray, of New Jersey. Secretaries—James Harrison, Connecticut ; Jacob C Parsons, New York. Messrs. Barbour, Smith, Gill, Conant and Dan- orth were appointed the business committee. GrNneRaL TaLUMADGE rose, and on taking the chair, thanked the meeting for the honor they had conferred on him, and would use his best endeavors to so fill the office as to render him worthy of the choice of his silk growingfriends. He the proceed- ed to remark that this was the first national conven- tion assembed in America to take intoconsideration the capability of the country for producing, and of our citizens for manufacturing silk, and had no doubt but great good would result from its labors He then proceeded to describe the process used in the several European countries to raise the silk worm. Everywhere artificial means were necessa- ry except in this country. Natural facilities, in atmosphere, soil, and Suey, other appliance, abound with us, and are solely and exclusively furnished by Providence to this country. All that is needed is the enterprise and industry of the people of the country to bring Silk into the list of American Staples, by acquiring the fuliest know- ledge of the means of feeding the worms, and all the other facilities for the production of Silk. The ead and aim ot this Convention,® the Speaker in- sisted, isa kind which ought to recommend it to the favor of all American citizens. Instead of send- ing money out of the country, and for the purchase of what we can so easily make ourselves, and then sitting down, wondering where our circulating me- dium has gone, the General would advise his coun- trymen to enter into this enterprise with vigor, to go to work like patriots, and to improve the advantagee which God aad Nature had put into their hands tor the production of a new staple, and one that it was fully demonstrable, must eventually turn out a rich source of national wealth. The Business Committee then presented a great number of letters from persons engaged in the silk business, from a large majority of the States in the Union, containing a host of very instructive and va- Juable facts, based on the experience and observa- tion of the writers in the prosecution of the work. A communication from a large New England Con. vention, recently held at Northampton in Massa- chusetts, tending to produce the same impressions on the public mind, was also read by the first Vice President. There had been no failures in any of the attempts that had been made throughout the Jand, to cultivate the worm and make the silk The General, then, in the name and on behalf of the Institute, invited the Convention to visit the tair, and accordingly the Convention adjourned to meet again at half past four. AFTERNUVON Sgssion.—The members of the Con- vention met at half past four, and after some bye. conversation, President Tallmadge called the meeting to order, and presented to them Dr. Gleb- bins of Massachusette, a pioneerin this important branch of American industry, who gave a very in- teresting report of the history of two cocoons, the one grown bya hired laborer, and the other by a family, at so much per pound. The laborer had every thing ready to his hand, nothing wanting to feed the worm or protect it in its growth, while the family had to procure the mulberry leaves from « distance, yet the difference between the hired and the voluntary labor was astonishing. The first was full and heavy, while the other was poor and light, scarce half the size. He then made some valuable sugg *stions on the feeding of the worms, the state of the leaves, recommending young shoots in the room or old leaves, which are not healthy for the worms. The manufacture of paper trom the leaves of the Multicaulis, was a subject of infinite interest tothe couatry, and a specimen was exhibited which had been submitted to the press and pen to test its fitness as an article for genera! use. The paper was not of a first rete quality, but it possessed firmness and wearing capability, which must reuder it an important object in papers lntended for deeds, lawyers records, state documents, &c., reo ganeneiMe partially dried in the room of the fresh or green leaves. His remarks are highly in- Hennes but we have not room to give them at length. The committee of business next reported a series of resolutions, which were carried unanimously, and which we may give in our future reports of the Convention. The object of the resolutions was show the feasibility of growing the silk, and the ex- pediency of adopting such measure’ as would bring the subject properly before the community and the several State Legislatures and Congress. Some in teresting information was given by the President as to the manner in which our French Importers get over the tariff, which imposes a duty of 50 cents on the silk in the gum, and $2 on the manufactured silk. It appears our not over scrupulous French triends reel the silk from the cocoon, without sub- jecting it to the cleansing operation of warm water, and in this way twist it as sewing silk, and thus it enters our market at only 50 cents duty instead of $2,as was intended by the Tariff. Much information of Aa ger was elicited from the members, anc at half past six o’clock, P. M., the committee ad- journed to meet again to-day, at half past ten A. M., at the rooms of the Institute in the Park. . Tue Garpenin the evening was thronged with visitors—and at half seven, agreeable to pre- vieus arrangement, neral Tallmadge introduced the speaker of theevening, Mr. Barbour, of Mas sachusetts, a staunch and sterling New Englander and silk grower, who thus addressed the visi- tors:— Laptes axp GextLemen—Without apology or word of introductien, I will proceed to the task assigned me, and endeavored,’ truthfuily and faithfully, to transier to your minds the weil assured fact which exists in my own, namely, the feasibility of the culture of silk in America, Yes, we can make silk in this country, as su 4 as durable as any ever imported. The word nknown to the silk grower of 1843. Can we make silk? Yes, we have an indi been done ; it is a fact well late date. ‘In the early sett! tinent, even beyond one hundred ycars cultivated in Georgia, Virginia, 8 Penn: yivania previows tothe revolution, it w: of no inconsiderable importance in the preducts of that State. Men, whose memories are like landmarks in our nation’s history, have foretold the history of this branch ofnational wealth. The far-seeing Dr. Franklin, and Dr. Stiles, President of Yale College, entered into the silk question with heart and soul—and now it had perchance grown toa mighty growth, had not the tone of public feeling, the startling events, and the glorious issue of the events of their day,completely overshadowed the culture of the silk worm. A nation rocked in the cradle of free dom, was not fully prepared to take up so thoroughly the 1 portent subject of the silk worm. To perfect their institutions,‘o erect a more glorious monument to the triumph of mankind in the struggle for freedom, was the more immediate object, and this was in devising equaljlaws, wise regulations, and establishing a name for the Republic ofthe United States, which should com- mand the respect, the homage of kingdoms whose exist- ence had been marked by centuries. (Cheers.) When the young Republic reared its infant head among nations, manufactures were not palatable to our citizens. Agri. culture was the favorite, the sturdy Yeoman, having so successfully wielded the sword to clear the foeman frum his native soil, now preferred to wield the axe to clear his native forests, that food and raiment might be vided for his children, Hence we were entirely depe: ant on the old world for our commerce, The feeb! struggle of our manufactures was ill repaid until the te- rift of 1818 gave a new impulse, a new spirit to the droo} ing spirits of the manufacturers First, cotton ood, Next woollens, partook of the ‘it of the age, and agri. culture and commerce lent a willing hand to foster their (Cheers.) The silk convention of 1826; r ions of Congress, and of the different State Le- 4 rom that period, gave assistance to the culture of silk, butthe bold effort has been made within the lest year or two. The young adventurer who scarce dated to wet his ancle, has now beeome a bold swimmer, and dashes le the opposing waves, confident of his power. (Cheers.) Yes, one fact is established beyond cavil or dispute, that we can raise silk and manufacture it too. (Cheers.) Yes, ye who doubt, and ye who believe, yo to the wing of the garden in which the products of the various cocoonries are de posited, ond there examine for yourselves. There you Will find silk of a quality superior, I assert, to any produ ced on a foreign soil. Dr. Franklin first proclaimed the superior quailty of silk of American growth, and subse quent experiments and improvemeuts have fully corrobo rated the assertions of that noble man. ‘I’ ct is proved from the high value which reeled American silk enjoys in the market over foreign silk—and this is proof of the superiority of the climate and soil of our country.— (Cheers.) ‘Yes, itis our climate and soil which determines aracter of our productions, our vegetable grass, our grain,ind our Green Mountain boys! (C! Chese cheers assure me that my remarks, however feeb, are welcome, and I will go on until I'fee tell me to d (Go on, go on.)

It is a common ob that we cannot com- pete with the cheap labor of loreign countries; but were hot the same objections raised inst the man' iron aud woollen goods ? Certainly ; yet what ias America achieved in both these branches of het ‘th. Do we want proofs? Go, move within the smaell space proveeted by this sheltering roof, and there examine for yourselves, the product of the loom, the forge, the workshop, and’ the bench. (Cheers). Yes, my heart swells while I point youto these noble efforts of eur common countrymen. Never did I feel the proud boast ofan American citizen as at this moment, when within the sound of my voice I can point out to my fellow citizens the onward progress of our glo- rious Republic. (Loud and continued cheers.) Yes, those cheers delight my old New England heart. I glory in the enthusiasm which bursts around me to-night, and ascribe its sincerity to the great topic of the day—Our COUNTRY’s GLORIOUS ELkvation! (Loud cries, cheers, and shouts of go on, New England, go ) Inmy reco! lection ourcountry women had to Pay from 26 to 40 cents per yard for coarse sleezy cottons, hich now you could not palm on them even as a gift, No; they would rather consign them to the paper mill than wear them, even for aday. (Loud cheers.) And what is the consequence ? Why we are now shipping cotton (aed to the countries beyond the broad Atlantic. (Chee In England, France, China, and in Asia, the products of our looms are found. (Yes, and our dairies, too.) True, thecheese of New England is found on the table of the old English Squire; but this is {ut the time to dwell on such matters. Have weovercome the prejudice, the common objectiens raised in our iron and woollen, and our dairy products? We have, andgan now add to them the culture of silk. If we have no fear in cottons of cheap Jabor, why should we have any in silk. In Porpe labor is not united with e—in America intelligence is united to labor; lies all the difference. (Cheers.) But the indo- mutable spirit of the Anglo Saxon charact more fully developed under our civil and religious institutions. (Cheers ) We stand on this ground with a character equal to the best, superior to most, in the culture of silk; Our soil is virgin,our sky is blue, and our people are Pro- testant. (Loud cheers) Labor is valuable, not from what it costs, but from what it produces. Our countrymen are intelligent, thinking, working people, and who are our competitors? Go to European and Asiatic countries fer your answer. (Cheers.) A Protestant community willever be an active, improving, elevating community. (Cheers) epee may com;ete with us in the manufac. ture of silk, but she can never grow a pound. (Loud cheers.) We! We! arethe only Protestant nation on the face of the globe, which are at thesame time, agrow ing anda manufacturing nation. (Loud cheers.) But I findI have gone beyond my allotted time. (No, no, go on, goon.) Ihave one or two observations, and then I have finished. The silk growers have much m to contend with than is generally imagined. cannot progress so fas other products. Wi require the growth of the foliage, and it takes two or three yearsto bring this to perfection. Silk culture is equal to fruit growing—we must plant the tree and await its budding time—the farmer spreads his seed with flowing hand and an autum’s sun returns to his gra- nary the fruits of labor ; but we must ently abide our time. {tn public sentiment that time has arrived, the newspaper press has done cracking its jokes, and turn where you will, north, south, east or west, the independ- ent and Political Presses are jealous advocates of the silk growers. (Loud cheers) One fact I wish to mention before! finish my observations. It is that we have esta. blished beyond all contreversy, that the silk worm can be brought to maturity in the open shed, under the pure, unadulterated air of our land. (Cheers) From every quarter of the Union we have letters on this subject, from Arkansas, Mississippi, Wisconsin, Ohio, Tennessee, Ken- tucky, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and even from the northern boundary of Maine! (Cheers.) Thus you perceive we are cultivating this valuable material threughout the Union; wherever the corn grows, there we can grow the silk. [ haveon my body a vest and handkerchief of silk grown and manufactured in the green slopes of Ohio; (cheers) but my good mother often told me never to be proud of what I might wear, if it should happen to; have better than what other folks wear. Yet Lshall be happy to shake any friend by the hand, who willcome forward, and show them what sort of ajacket! bring to this Convention. (Loud cheers and laughter.) Yet if you wish to see the perfection of our silk manufactures, go to the desk of Mr. Gill, and there you willsee much more than I can show you.— (Cheers.) Thave now done. If I have offyrded you pleasant half hour, it I have given you an insight into the tory and progress of the culture of silk, I have but performed the duty which placed me on this stand, and now let me pepsekrote kind sid in the great cause in which we are engaged ,let me ask you to overcome the blighting prejudices which would crush our enterprise, and which would mar in its infancy a project which is destined to give occupation to our countrymea, and to clothe millions of the generations which shall rise to bless us for our efforts in the cause of American nation- ality. (Loud cheer: A word before we part. Herel present to your inspection a manuscript copy of a work on silk, written hy the pen ofthat good man, Dr. Stiles, of Yale College. ‘It isa full, detailed account of the cul- ture of silk from 1763 to 1790, during which interval he was zealously engaged in philosophical experiments in feeding the silk worm, It is prepared with the utmost care, and belongs as a bequest to the Library of Yale Col- lege. Itis exactly in the state in which the worthy Doc: tor leit it, bound with the very string which his own hands had tied, and surrounded with allthe veneration which respect for the honored dead can invest it. Here it is, (holding up an old, thick,marble covered volume, of letter paper size, bound reen silk cord—a relique ofdays gone by. The audience evinced their respect in a SS suppressed buzz of welcome reion) My riends, I would pass it round, but it has been left in m: charge, with sacred orders to preserve it safe and sound, andT cannot run any risks with a volume so precious ; but if any of you desire to see it, come to my rooms, and there you shall have a fuil and sufficient examination of its conten: 2 mid which the speaker took his seat, the applause co: ing for several minutes.) GenzraL TaLLMapee then came forward and announced the several details for the present nnd the coming week, which we set forth in our adver Using columns. He informed the visiters that the bands from the navy and army departments would be in alternate attendance at the garden throughout the ensuing daysof the exhibition. At 12 o’elock to-day Dr. Smith will deliver an address on the silk question, and an address on Agriculture and Com- merce will be delivered by a member of the Insti- tute at half past seven inthe evening. He then pro- posed three cheers for the success of free trade, and our free institutions, which were given with a hearty will, and after a few turns through the se- veral rooms, the audience left, highly pleased with the speaker, the arrangements and the worthy Pre- sident. Patapeiputa ELECTION day morning says:— The cheering intelligence which we were able to ad before our readers yesterday, is fully con- irmed by the official returns. ‘The whigs of Phil delphia city and county have achieved a most si nal a In the city we have elected our entire ‘The Inquirer of yester- ticket—Mayor, Congress, Assembly and Councils. In the city and county we have elected our Sheriff, County Treasurer, County Commissioner and Au- ditor The majorities, too, are noble. In the First District we have elected our candidate for Congress The Reform Commissioners’ Ticket has succeeded in Southwark ; and in Moyamensing the whigs have elected s1x of the seven Commissioners. In the Northern Liberties, Spring Garden and Kensington, the locofeco Commissioners have suc- ceeded. __ In the Third District, Mr. John T. Smith, locofoco, is elected to Congress ; and in the Fourth District, Mr. C. J. Ingersoll, locofoco, is elected, both by comparatively small majorities. The results, on the whole, have astonished the whigs themselves, while our political opponents are utterly dismayed. We also, find the following paragraph relative to the State Congressional election:— 2 As far as heard from in this State, the whigs have elected six members of Congre: Niszo’s.—Signor Valtellini takes his benefit, appears in his celebrated role of Oroveso, in Bellini’s Opera of Norma. Of all the productions of the Italians, the opera of Norma seems to carry off the palm. Signoras Majocchi and Corsini again are to enter the musical lists in the characters of Adalgisa and Norma. ‘The rivalry of these Prima Donnas is productive of the greatest delight tothe audience. For five nights have they appeared in the opera, and each receive their encouraging share of public ap- preciation. If the female department of the Italian troupe could be as effectively brought to bear on other operas, they would command equal success with Norma. The Italian troupe must recollect that an establishment dependent upon public approval, must bring their entire force in more than one piece. Cuatnam Tueatre.—Mr. Rice, the great star of the day, this evening repeats his great character of Bone Squash, in an opera of that name, which is, by the way, one of the best ever compozed, so far as the combination of scenery, music and incidents is concerned. The |aughable farce of the Mummy is to be repeated, and the sterling drama of the Rent Day willbe produced with a powerful cast. We are pleased to notice that Mr. Deverna has, with his accustomed liberality, made such offers as to secure the services of Mr. Heilge, one of the most talented young artists the country can boast of. His talents are to be employed in the production of a series of new pieces which are now under way, and will be produced in rapid succession. We believe now that every department of the Chatham corps i+ filled with the first order of talent.

BY..THE.SOUTHERN MAIL, New Jersey Exxcrion.—The Democrais have gained New Jersey. The Newark Adveruser, the editor of which was a candidate for Congress, on the Whig ticket, writes thus:— New Jenszy SuRRENDERED.—The coalition form- ed in this city between a faction of a whig party here and the leaders of the locotocos has work ed out its legitimate reeults, and thrown the State into tne hands of our political adversaries. It has not only elected its candidates for Congress in this district, but defeated the mhigugaahye tickets in two of its three whig counties, as our friends believe, and as som: of whom predicted in advance, by its re- mote consequences eflected a calamitous revolution in two adjoining whig counties. It is the triumph of locofocoism. The Democrats have a majority of fourteen on joint ballot of the two branches of the State Le- gislature, so far as heard {from. Last year the Whigshad a majorty in both Houses. The follow- ing table, though still imperfect, will show where the changes have been eflected :-— Panties in THE LeotsLatune. Last Year. This Year.

The Trenton State Gazette tells an amusing story, showing how a poor whig was kidnapped and carried off. Richard Girton, a poor, laboring man, who intended to vote the whig ticket, wes decoyed from the house of his employer, Mr. Nathan Fish, of Ewing, en Mond: evening, by three locofocos of the neighborhood, seized, thrown into a wagon, and carried off. On Tuesday morn- ing the whigs of Ewiug, in pursuit, found him at Yard- leyville, loc! upina room. In the aiternoon he was carried off further into Pennsylvania. We believe there never was perpetrated in this country such an out upon the rights of a poor mao, If he had been rich, locofocos would never have touched him. We hope it will be tried whether the laws of the land will not protect poor men from such outrage Tar Nationa Jockey Crus Races—Wasnina- ton, Wednesday.—Second Day.—The race which took place on ednesday (the second day) be- tween Clarion, Senator, Kate Harris, and Kendall’s bay colt, was an unusually fine race, affording high diversion to all the votaries of the turf who were present. The contest lay between the three first named horses, but Clarion being the favorite, bets were made largely upon him against the field. When the horses, however, appearedon the course, Senator became the favorite, and odds were given in his favor against any named horse. To the as- tonishment, however, of the knowing ones, Kate Harris won the first heat in three minutes and forty- nine and a half seconds, Senator pushing her to the winning post, Clarion being third, and the bay colt ne saving his distance. Bets now ran largely on ate Harris against the field. At the second heat the horses came upim-fine style, Kate Harris taking the lead and retaining her position to the back stretch of the second mile ; Clarion then made a brush at her and passed her, winning the heat by abont a length and a half, in the unusually short time of three minutes and forty seven seconds. | Kate Harris, the second in this heat, Senator third, the Bay Colt distanced. Bet- ting again changed, and Clarion was the favorite against the field. He took the lead in the third heat and kept it to the end, Kate Harris second, and Se- natorthird. We understand that Clarion, the win- ner of this well contested and excellent race, is half brother of the famous racer Fashion, that is to con- tend on Friday with Blue Dick and other celebrated racers. ‘The race course was more numerously at- tended to-day, and these sportsmen who were pre- sent had a most gratifying day of it. ee Sales of Stocks at Philadelphia: Wednesday Oct. 11—Second Board—3 Shares Wil- mington Hailroad, 17; $3220 State 5’s, 60; $6550 do, 1870, 60 ; $1000 do, 60f ; $1000 City 8's, 1971, 102} ; 60 shares Wilmington Railroad, 16) ; 20do.
