The November Election—Party Coalitions, ‘The Fourier organ and our Wall street cotem- perary, as well as that Robert Macaire of the New York journals, the Express, are dreadfully shock- ed, and lift up their hands mm holy horror at the eoalition between the two late hostile factions of the Iccofocos. It is a black and white amalgama- tion, so unnatural and barbarous, and altogether such a political, religious, and moral monstrosity, as to call down the righteous “wrath and cabbage” of the whole immaculate whig party. It is abso- Jutely disgusting that any coalition of the sort should be deliberately organized in New York, at this time, for the purpose of defrauding the whigs | of “the loaves and fishes.” But it can’t be helped. | The locos have agreed upon the grand conspiracy, and the only live chance for the wligs is to gather up all the stray fragments they ean, and make the | moet of them. If they have any loose cash 1n hand, now is the time to distribute it—if they have any men still out of office, willing to huckster, bribe, and humbug the “industrial classes,” now is the time to send them out. Let the filth accumulate in the streets tiil within three days of the election, and then fill them with men out of employment, supplied with brooma, shovels, carts, &c., and grog, paid for by the committees of the different wards, and something may be done to secure the city. Let a capable preacher of “free soil, free ‘arms, and free houses,” go up among the anti- renters, and some good may be done among the Indians. Hunt up the negro Douglass, and give him a corporation dinner, and the abolitionists will cave in. Desperate cases require desperate reme- dies; and this is not the time to stand upon trifles. Apart from all this, the whigs have yet seme hope, from the eonstant scratching of the old sore of free soil. particularly conscientious on this point, and they take occasion to say:— “If the democratic candidates for 3: offlees wish to be elected, they should have their answers to the interrogatories which have been addressed to them bo- fore the public without much farther delay.” What are these mterrogatories?’ Why are they not answered? Are the old hunkers to be com- pelled to an absolute surrender, body and breeches, | “while Mordecai, the Jew, is sitting in the king’s | gate?” Are they not even to be allowed, at disere- tion, a change of “ old clo’” nor a patch of a fifty cent coat to keep up appearances? But the A!bany Atlas, the late especial organ of Prince John and | company, takes a more common sense view of the ease. He talks like a true politician on the real issue, when he says:— ‘The true tert of democracy now, is to beat the whigs, | eave the State, and administer a manly rebuke tothe administration at Warhington for its arrogance i threatening to frown down the freedom of opinion an. right of discussion. United on prinetple, the New York democracy are invincible, and will be victorious. That is to say, the only real izsue between the | parties is to get the most votes, the most offices, and the most of the public plunder. The only principles at stake are the seven principles of John Randolph—“ the five loaves and two fishes.” To secure theee, all sorts of tricks, intrigues, schemes, bargains and sales, plots and coalitions, are ad- mitted to be perteetly excusable. And yet the squash philosophy of the Tribune, soft, and pliable, and insipid as it is, cannot com- prehend “what common pringiple animates this motley array” of the old hunkers and the bara- burners, “whom they cursed, kicked, and spit upon, but a short time ago.” It isthe commoa principle of the spoils. And the “ motley array” ie quite in the fashion. What are the elements of the whig party of New York! Some twenty odd years ago, it was without shape or substance. It wanted capital to start upon. It raised the ery of anti-masonry; and the suggestion that Tim Mon- roe, with his whiskers shaved off, would “make good enough Morgan till after the election,” was seized upon, and appropriated with some success This was the foundation of the Seward school of the whig party im New York, which has since absorbed abolitioniem, anti-rentism, Fou- tierism, socialism, and all the isms and schisms and feg ends and scraps of all parties, of every com- plexion, as circumstances have required coalitions of the whig party, therefore, are about as “motley ” as the present “ motley array” of the lecofocos, Both parties are made ap of coali- tions of all kinds of loose materials, and the pria- jes of each are precisely the same—the seven principles of John Randolph. Their professed doc- trines must be modified to suit circamstances. The barnburnere eflected their object in defeating Cass. They were satisfied that Van Buren was revenged ; but the whige were using their fingers to rake out the cheenuts from the fire. They are tired of the game, and they fall back upon the ola ooaliuon. Thies is the “ motley array” which gives such a galvanic shock to Massa Greeley. The mantle of Old Grimes, “ the long white coat he used to wear, all buttoned down before,” does our organ of the Reds no good. “ Motley is his only wear.” And yet to talk of the “motley array” The simple fact 1, that each party tion for the spoil and the « et gets them. The “motley array,” if united, is the strongest. They have united; and the Corpo- ration printing is in danger.

It is well known that organizations, found- ed on fanaticism, have existed in the North for years, having for their object avowedly, encroach- ments on the institutions of the southern States, and the influences of which have extended to Con- gress itself, and been felt in the ceuncils of the nation. The Wilmot proviso agitation dur- ing the last session of Congress, was nothing but an onslaught on southern institutions, and intended, in case of success, as an entering wedge, to be succeeded by a direct attack on the institution of slavery in the States where it is guaranteed by the federal compact. All sensible and intelligent men knew, that as far as regarded slavery in New Mexico ee ae that measure was an abstraction, even if passed, would be of no avail, because there are physical obstacles in the way of planting slavery in those new territories, which could net be over- come. Why, therefore, was the subject intro- duced into that body, and discussed, day after day, week atter week, and month after month, while the real interests of the country were neglected and thrown aside? How is it at present? Does | not the South see the two great national parties in | this section of (he country pandering to the fanau- | cal anti-slavery prejudices in the North and Eust, | and every day becoming more anti-slavery in their sentiments, for the purpose of securing anti-slavery votes? As it is, they have nearly taken the ground from under the fanatics of the Garrison and Philip's school in Boston. With these things staring them | in the face, the organs of those same parties in the North turn up their eyes with horror, because the South choses to take measures to counteract such influences, and to prevent northern aggressions on their constitutional rights. We fear very much that the relations between the North and the South are reaching the lament- | able crisis, which continued aggression on the | part of the North cannot but eventually lead to, | and which we have so often indicated. In the | nature of things, the black and white races can never be on a social or political equality in any section of the country. Even in the hotbeds of anti-slavery fanaticism in the northern an! ern States, the negroes are not treate! quals There is, in fact, a broader and de: f de- marcation between them and the * than | what exists at the South, no: ng all | our boasted philanthropy. But in ‘of this ' = . st | the South will not, nor can it be d that it | | should, part with twelve hundred m. ons of pro~ perty, the valuation of its slaves, at te dictation of northern fanatics. Neither is it unreasonable, without taking any thing else into consideration, that they should take measures to preserve their property when it is endangered. But when itis demonstrable that if the views of the northern fanatics, in regard to the institution of slavery, | were carried out in the South, that not only would property be destroyed, but that civil war would ensue; that ecenes similar to those which San Domingo witnessed, would be enacted; that there would be no power to restrain the brutal and savage propensities of a degraded race; then the very first instinct of nature, that of self-preserva- tion, demands of the South to take means to op- pore the introduction of principles and measures, tending to produce, sooner or later, the state of | things which we allude to. Why, then, should we in the North be surprised at the action of the southern States? Whatever position they have | taken, or will hereafter take on this matter, has been, and will be, forced on them by the fanatics of | the North, and by the leaders of the two great na- | tional parties in this section of the country, who, for the purpose of securing their own ambi- tious purposes, pander to the fanatical feeling on | the eubject of slavery which is now abroad, and | which they are fanning and exciting with all the means in their power. The time is approaching when all moderate and sensible men in the northern and eastern States must take a stand | on this subject, when they must grapple with the | spirit of funaticwem against the South on its own | ground, or else it may be too late to avert the consequences which continued agitation and con- | tinued aggression may cause. Can any sensible | | man suppose for a moment that if the anteslavery | feeling prevailed so far as to exclude slavery from | the new terntories, and from the District of Co- lumbia, that it would be satiefied with such a triumph over the South? It would not, for the | very fact of its being founded on religious fanati- | cism, is sufficient for us to know that it would go on increasing in volume and power, until the con- stitution itself would be overleaped, or torn ia pieces, by those maniacs, and the union between | the States of this glorious confederacy rent asun- | der, and destroyed, and for whatt To give liberty | | toa race of people, who, as history shows, are in- capa of appreciating it—who know in liberty nothing but licentiousness—and to destroy the southern States, as the British West Indies have been destroyed, by emancipation. No, the truth is, no sensible man need wonder if the southern States had gone further than they have ere thiz, in resisting northern fanaticism on the Their property, their insti- | lt itions, the peace of society, their very lives, are | threatened and endangered; and an issue, deplora- | ble in its consequences, will be found at some | future day between the North and the South, if | the leaders of the whig and democratic parties in the North persist in the course of policy which they ere now following. We may talk as mach as we please of our philanthropy, but there is as mach of it in the southern States as there is in the northern. It was only her day that a southern planter, wishing ssaumit some of hi slaves, took them as far as Pittsburgh, with the view of settling them in Ohio. But he learned that they would not be allowed to enter that § and he was advised to ship them to New Ork and give out that their maeter intended to sel them, and the abolitionists woul eal them and settle them in. the very State of Ohio, within the limits of which they would not be allowed in the | first place. The trick succeeded, for, before he | reached Cincinnati, every slave was kidnapped.

CaNaviAN AMNEXATION AND AMERICAN SyMPa- vay.—One of the Canadian journals, opposed to the annexation of Canada to the American republic, takes the ground that Great Britain will not con- sent to separation, either with a view to indepen- dence and the formation of an antagonistic nation to the United States, or with the prospect of an- nexation to this republic; and, therefore, it must. not be thought of. It assumes, also, that if the Canadas were fully prepared to demand aseparation, it is probable that, in spite of any thing that might be done to prevent it, on the part of England, they would gain their end; and although the President of the United States might issue a proclamation, as General Taylor has done in the case of the armed expedition designed to assist the Cubans, still, thousands of sympathisers would cross the frontier from this country, to as- sist them in their struggle. Now, we can assure our Canadian cotemporary that he is entirely mistaken in the conclusion to which he has arnved in regard to receiving sym- pathy from_the United States. It is very certain that the United States will never solicit the Ca- nadians to annex themselves to this republic, un- der any circumstances whatever. But while we assert this, we are willing, on the other hand, to say, thatif the Canadians will at some future time procure the consent ef Great Britain to be annexed to the United States, we will, when that consent shall have been obtained, and on their solicitation and earnest request, take the question into con- sideration, and if we can adjust some prelimi- nary arrangements concerning our domestic re- lations, satisfactorily to the varied interests of this country, we will allow them to come in and par- take of the great political blessings which we in the United States enjoy. The first thing for the people of Canada to do, however, is to obtain England’s consent to dispose of themselves as In relation to the second point, we dare affirm that if the Canadians attempt at any time to sever the political connection be- tween Canada and Great Britain by force, very few, if any, instead of thousands, will rush across the frontier from the United States, to their assistance. If the rabid annexationists count upon y such sympathy and assistance, should affairs in Canada take such a course, they will be deplora- bly mistaken. When a portion of the people of Canada, on the best grounds possible, struck a blow for separation from Great Britain in the year 1837, hundreds of our ardent young republicans, animated by the Jo{tiest impulses, crossed the frontier to as: rem in sect ties simi- | lar to those cl Zz rovernment and institution ted States ; but it never wall be forgotten that the very men who are, inthe year 1849, so lustily demanding annexation, were the most loyal subjects in 1837, and were, in ad- dition, the very men who treated the American sympathizers so shabbily, termed them rabble and pirates, and then hanged and transported them. This fact will not be forgotten very soon on this side of the lines, although it may have slipped the attention of our neighbors on the other. At that time there would have been some glory and honor in freeing Canada from Bntish rule, be- cause a large proportion of the Canadian people— especially the population of Lower Canada— were virtually deprived of all political mghts, as well as of any participation in the govern- ment. No euch appeal can now be made to the sympathies of our people by any portion of the Canadians, and least of all by those who, disloyal | in 1849, were ultra loyal, and the most determined | supporters of British connection, in 1837. The dol- Jar is the only principle at the bottom of the present agitation. ‘The ultra loyalists—the remnants of the old family compact, who were relentless rulers in | the heyday of their power—having lost their infla- ing | t the | ence and control under the system of responsible government, now consider, on the principle of profit and Joss, that they would be better off if an- nexed to the United States, than they now are; that their land would be increased in value ; that railroads would be constructed, and that the inflax of American enterprise and American capital would soon make Canada what the opposite shore pre- sents. Hence they ere willing to throw their loy- alty overboard, at once and forever, and unite them- selves with this great confederacy. In conclusion, then, we would say to the people of Canada, go to work in any way you please, and | get, if you can, the consent of Great Britain to be cither independent or form a part of this confede- racy, and then we will talk to you about annexa- tion. But if you conclade upon the experiment of severing your political connexion with that power by force, don’t, for the reason we have already | given, depend upon getting any sympathy from the United States. As we have frequently before said, & great many solemn and weighty questions | are to be setiled before the annexation of Cana- da, even if the consent of England were obtained, can take p) ‘lace. More ov Tu” Man's Nest.—The Tribune man at Washington, will insist that he knows our cor- respondent at that village, who wrote “ that letter” of a series of letters, which exposed the mysteries of the flare-up between the Secretary of State and M. Poussin. Circumstances are cited, and fa ends of reported conversations are given, in proof, not only to show that our correspondent is disco- vered, but that he is a systematic epeculator in the ad valorems, and proposed to a friend the policy of | getting a place in the New York custom house, and the sharing of the “hush money” for passing false invoices. We are challenged to deny this eus- tomer as the author of the Clayton and Poussin letters—to which we have to say, he is not the man. Whoishe? We understand that the Tri- | dune man is a pensioned eulogist of the cabinet, is paid by the government for the time employed, and supplied by it with the stationery used ia his letters to the Fourier organ. l’erhaps we know But, who is the “ pensioned libeller” and “locofoco in disguise 1” And what has the Zyibwne man to sey of himself? But there must be eomething in the wind. There for the whole pack of | the cabinet puffers subsisted on the public money, are down upon our “locofoco in disguise,” whoever They have scented out something. The Boston Atlas man at Washing- ton, enlarges upon the affidavit of the Tribune man. Our correspondent is found out, and is rather a conspicious subject. Van Buren knows him ; Ceptain Rynders knows h Mons. Pous- sin knows him ; and it appears he reported himself also to Mr. Clayton, as the {particular friend of Joseph L. White. He i the artfal dodger of all Aad it seems there is no mistake in his proposing to get a berth from Mr Meredith in the New York customs for a friend, in order to share some 10,000, to be made as hush money on false invoices ; and $10,000 for effecting a recon- c ion with Poussin! That chap must be an emanation from Wall street. Who else could build up euch epeculations on the “lame ducks ?” Our amiable and affectionate cotemporary of the Courier steps in, too, and endeavors to throw still more light upon the subject; but like the Dram- mend reflector on Barnum’s museum, it only serves tomake the darkness more visible all around it, and throws no light whatever on our “ locofoco in | dieguise.” The pains and agomes of our ex-can- | didate for Spain, at the horrible wickedness of the | Herald, are excruciating. There must be some- thing dreadful on his mind; and if agreeable, why not cail in Bishop Hughes to confees him’? Pro bably his dinner with Gen. Coss has made him bilious, Really, without a mission eomewhere, or a brigadier’s feather, or & bank, or a bankrupt law, we ore afraid we cannot keep our Wall etreetally in discipline.

But wide as the field is, it is about to be made much wider. Max Maretzek, we perceive, has promulgated his programme of opera entertainments for the season, together with a list of his company. If Mr. Fry, who is identified with last season's failure, opens ogain, under the auspices of Mr, Niblo, we shall of course have two operas going on at the same time—a rather hazardous experiment to try in a city in which one has not been able to euc- ceed heretofore. We shall, however, see—what we shall see. To make even one successful, the patrons of the Opera, the wp-town fashionables, must be more liberal in paying for that amusement then they showed themselves last year or the year preceding.

COMMERCIAL AFFAIRS, MONEY MARKET. Tuesday, Oct, 23-6 P, M, There was more activity and a better feeling in the stock market to-day. Prices for government stocks improved a fraction, and transactions in some of the fancies were unusually Jarge. Erie Railroad stock has advanced about one per cent within the past few days, in anticipation, we ruppose, of large receipts during the present month, This is the way the bulls calou- late. Suppose the receipts of the Erie Company this month, or next month, or even for the next six months, should be much larger than is generally anticipated, it cannot help the market value of the stock much The expenses keep so far ahead of the income, that the stockholders will not be much benefitted by any small inerease in the latter. The receipts this month will be less than $90,000, and there is no other road in the country of the same length, but that will earn fifty per cent more than that sum in the same time. At the first board to day, U.S. 6's, 1868, advanced 36 per cent; 1807, }¢; Pennsylvania 6's, 4; Erie Ratl- road, }¢; CantonCompany, johawk, 5g; Harlem, '. Morris Canal fell off 3¢ per cent from the opening price. At the second board, Erie Bonde, 1869, improved \ per cent, and Harlem declined \{. There were only three or four transactions at the afternoon board. ‘The packet ship Constifution, for Liverpeol, carried out $150,000 in gold. The Boston steamer will not take owt a large amount of specie, Sterling exchange closed firm at 104 @ 103¢ per cent premium, and bills were scarce even at these high rates. The Union Bank has declared » dividend of five per eont, payable on the Ist of November. The receivers of the Trust Fire Insurance Company, Dave declared a dividend of $26 on each outstanding share of raid Company, payable on the 26th instant. There were exported from Boston daring the three weeks ending October 20th, 1849, 999 packages of do- mestic cotton goods, valued at $58,740, most of which went toSouth America and the East Indies, ‘The receipts at the office of the Assistant Treasurer of this port to-day, to $75,959 17; payments, $84,531 80; balance, $3,510,189 94, ‘The revenues of Vermont, for the year ending Slat of August, were $120,318; disburvements, $111,987; bala in treasury, $8,936, The State debt is $60,170, and the Tesources are $50 416, #0 that Vermont appears to be financially, es well as politically, sound.

The deposits in the Canal Bank have large. ly increased since Avgust. There has been no varia- tion of any importance in the movement of the other banks. They all appear to be in a strong position, It is @ very common idea that what has cost a great deal, must be worth something; and, acting on this, # me Boston speeniators bave brought out a scheme for rveiving the old Portemouth Railroad in Virginia under the name of the Seaboard and Roanoke Rail- read Company. The work was originally constructed tb the speculative times of 1896 and 1836, by an ineor- porated company, of which the State of Virginia and the towne of Norfolk and Portemouth were the priaci- pal stockholders; individual stockholders having eud- scribed only about $100,000 of the capital. The enterprise proved a ruinous one, the whole al Ineome of this road, seventy-eight miles long, being only from fifty thourand to sixty thousand dollars; ond the road, as ® consequence, being kept ap only by an fnereasing indebtedness, until its eredit totally felled, and it got into an impasrable condition. It was then fold under ® mortgoge of the State ot Virginia, and bovght by the State for $50,000, at which price it was transferred, first, to the town of Portemonth, and afterwards, at the same price, by that town, long credit, to a elique of speculators in Dost ‘The State tinee agreed to give up all elaims on there purchases, if they will complete the road in eighteen months from this time, and extend it to Gaston, in North Carolina, Thess rpeoulators hare, of course, « great temptation to get romething frem what costs them nothing, and have browght out @ scheme, in h their property in the road is valued at 2000 shares of stock, of $100 cash, and subseription are invited, and contracts payable, in fron, proposed to be made for the remaining $800 000 ertimated ae requisite to reconsernet the road, aed extend It toGaston, N.C. Ofcourse, tothe purchasers, and the brokers who unite with them in getilog up the stock, the arrangement may be a good one, even if the stock which other parties are invited to take should prove, as it probably will, to be worth nothieg; as, on the seheme being made up, if they are able to rell out even aOtwenty or thirty conte on the dollar, they may by ‘They can be soon realize, ithous Pee incurred any risk, the some sum of $40,000 or $60,000. A proposition has been made to the town of Norfo in ite corporate eapacity, to subscribe $200,000 to tt stock, This, it seems, Norfelk is willing to do, on dition of the railroad being brought, by a bridge,’ Elisabeth river into town, which would, however, be dear srrangement for the other stockholders, if rcad was tobe worth anything, as the bridge would probably cost t' at amount, besides the cost of insu- rance end keepi.g it in order, without adding anythi to the income of the road. The parties interested in galvanizing this old Po mouth and Roanoke Railroad, have issued a pamph purporting to be an exhibit of the condition and pro pects of the road; and it is, wo must admit, well cal-| culated to deceive those who do not look below surface of things in all matters connected with rail-| roads and those who get up the different comp We have given what we believe to be the real objeet these speculators have in view; and it is, moreover, o opinion that the statements made relative to the sources of the road, are false in almost every particular, The income of the line, when completed—a distanee 04 miles—is estimated at $237,400; th expe at $88,000, and the net income at $154,810. ‘This’ result, it is stated, is based upon what may be termed the immediate business of the road. It very coolly stated in the report alluded to, that “thio estimate fs sufficient for the object in view, which ie simply ow that the inducements to investment will not fail to recommend themselves to those who are| judges {n euch matters.” Tho prospective business of the road, is just as extravagantly estimated as the im- mediate Income, To show the fallacy of the estimate made of the Immediate income of this company.it is only. necessary to state that the receipts of the line forming the present southern route, via Petersburg, amount te, only $160,000 per annum. The “exhibit” says not word about the real scheme, which isto enable those engaged to galvanize the concern, as to pocket some $200,000, or such portion of that amount as their 2,000. shares of the stock will bring after they have gulled the community into the purchase of a worthless rail; road. oem Excha) 6 00. 86, 08 Wats NH&HRR 10536 do coup, "68 ut 2 8 ak bb 6 rin ri 10000, 1 5 ta as - 2800 113 “er 2000 Kentucky 6's do SN YSN o: 1000 50 Canton Ce “i Xt peu 800 Read M 40.
