They reported the platform of the whig party as the platform of the third candidate party, and an electoral ticket, as follows:— H. H, Cummings, of Richmond, and Edward T.

The Democratic Mass Meeting at Hillsboro’, NEW HAMPSHIRE TAKEN BY STORM—THE RAILROAD CARS GROANING UNDER THE WEIGHT OF DEMOO- RACY—NOT ENOUGH HOUSES TO CONTAIN THE VISITERS, ETC. Coxconp, N. H., August 19—A. M. Last night this place was filled to overflowing with democrats on their way to the Hillsboro’ meeting. They filled the hotels, private houses, the halls and rooms in the State House, and the large railroad depot, where mat- tresses were laid, Everything was literally stuffed with sleepers, and hundreds were compelled to walk the streets. Since 6 o'clock this morning, no less than seventy-five large passenger cars have left here for Hillsboro’ over the Contoocook Valley Railroad, besides those which have run from Manchester over the New Hamphshire Central, and from Bradford over the Concord and Claremont Railroad. Aspecial train from Providence and Worcester brought over one thousand, with the Worcester Light Infantry and Cornet Band. Another from Boston brought as many more, including the Boston Granite Club and the brass band. ‘There are five railroads centreing here, and all have had as much as they could do. Some of the trains were delayed here about three hours this morning. i There was never such an in pouring into the Granite State before, and the prospect is that the crowd wiil breed a temporary famine here, and that the twenty thousand pounds of meat and bread at Hillsboro’ will yanith this day at 2 P. M., like dew before the hot sun. General Perce is in town, and has been employed this forenoon in shaking hands with the thousands at the de- pols, He does not go to Hillsboro’, Last night, there was s, very large meeting in the State House yard. under the direction of the Concord Granite Club. Capt. Rynders spoke first, and was re- ceived with three cheers for New York, and three cheers for the Empire Club. He said that Pierce was nominated because he stood by the interests of the whole country, with the constitution for a guide, knowing “no North, no South,” &e. Governor Henry Hubbard; Judge Corton, of Lockport, N. Y.; Charles L. Woodbury, of Boston, and George W. Morrison, of Manchester, followed until ten o'clock. There were fireworks, music, and great enthusiasm. Among the notables who have arrived are Gen, Dix, John Van Buren, Col. Gorman, ex-Governor Paris, and Capt. McIntyre (a soldier of the last war), Attorney General Tolman, of Maine, Col Weller, Major Lally, and Mr Savage, M. ©, of Tenn.; Senator Clements, Marshall, M. 0,, of California; Col, John 8. Thrasher, &. Every hotel, barn, house, and shed, at Hillsboro’, were filled last night. TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND PROPLE AT HILLSBORO’ — INPOURING OF THE FARMERS AND THEIR WIVES— RE- UNION OF THE NINTH REGIMENT, ETC. foxconn, August 19—214 P. M. A gumber of New Yorkers have just arrived, en route for MMisboro’, having been detained by the delay of the Norwich mag SN og bane stb een Some ytd stopped here, but the larger ion have gone on. bees frten Hillsboro’ that the gathering is immense. Be- sides the crowd from abroad, the farmers of Hillsboro’ county, compaine ¢ population of fifty thousand, with their wives and children, appear to have turned out en masse. By Greeley’s arithmetic, as used at Lundy’s Lane, the number at Hillsboro’ must exceed fifty thousand, but it may be safer to call it twenty. five thousand, There is tobe a re-union of the Ninth Regiment here to-morrow, at which General Pierce will preside. Gov. Seymour, of Conn.: Col, Clements, Maj. Lally, and most of the other officers, will attend. PEOPLE RETURNING FROM THE MEEBTING—PROVI- SIONS SCARCB—PICKPOCKETS ABUNDANT —COUNT+ LESS HORDES OF DEMOCRATS, ETC. Conconn, August 19—6 P. Bf. The people are just returning from Hillsboro’. The meeting was addressed by Messrs. Dix, Clemens, Ln Savage, and Van Buren. The speakers were all grecte with great enthusiasm. Many estimate the number present as high as thirty, ond nct less than twenty thousand, liundreds came on foot, and carriages lined the road for three miles distant. ‘The cars will not be able to bring away all the people ‘until to-morrow. Several hundred came to this town, and returned on account of the crowd and the heat, which has been ex- cersive. Pickpockets were on hand, and made several successful hauls. This morning Hon, Thos. P, Treadwell lost fifty in money, and one thousand in notes, while pur- chasing a ticket at the Concord ot. ‘There is now a great scarcity of provisions at Hillsbo- pa but plenty of good water is left in the Contoocook river, A large concourae of ladies were present.

Aspect of Affairs In Washington, THE RIVER AND HARBOR BILL—THE LAND DISTRIBU- TION BILL—MR BURROWS AND THE POSTMASTER GENERALSHIP, ETC. SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE NEW YORK HERALD. Wastixatox, August 19-834 P, i, The opponents of the River and Harbor bill are doter- mined to kill it, by loading it with amendmects, and pro- tracting the debate. Its friends already despair of pass- Ing it. Judge Douglas's amendments will probably be carried by decided vote. ‘The appropriation bills will be carried iu the morning hour and evening sessions, so that the Harbor bill will not interfere with them. Mr. Bennett's bill. as amended, ‘fo as to indicate the Lines of railroads in the new States, will pass ; probably tho Homestead bill will be attached to it Hon, Mr, Burrows denies, positively, that there is any truth in the report that he is tobe Postmaster ee THE FRENCH SPOLIATION VILIL—THE SENATE'S SPE- CIAL COMMITTEE—WORK BEFORE CONGRESS, ETC. FROM A REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. ‘Wasninaron, Aug. 19, 1852. The vote in the House to-day, on the motion to proceed tothe buriness on the Spepker’s table, which was agreed to by a majority of twenty-two, is regarded as somewhat of a test question on the French Spoliation bill, although the House, directly after, by three majority, went into committee on the Navy bill. The friends of the first named measure will renew the struggle, with a prospect of success. Mr. Soule’s committee upon Mexican claims will not get through their labors in season to report this seseion, General Houston's committee, upon galphinism geno- rally will probably make a partial report. before the ad- jourpment. ‘The Lunatic Asylum bill, granting ten millions of acres of the public lands for Lunatic Asylums throughout the Union, has the fairest chance of any of the various land projects now before the Senate, Mr. Bennett's Land bill, and the Homestead Dill, will both go over to the next session.

The Cxarr laid before the Senate communications from the Departments, THE CIVIL AND DIPLOMATIC APPROPRIATION MILL, Mr. Hunter, (dem.) of Va., moved that fhe Senate take up, during the morning hour, the Civil and Diplo- matic Appropriation bill. The only chance to save ap- Propriation bills, acted on in time, was toeommencs them eo costly a8 possible, He only asked tor the morn ing hour, uniess the Senate would continue to conside them, Mr. Harr seid he would object to the motion, for th» rcason that he desired to have one fair vote on the Home- stead bill. This morning was the proper time to move t> tuke that billup. If the Senate refused to take it up, ho would abandon all hope for it this session. Mn. Arciison said that if the Senator from New Hamp- shire would keep silent during the remainder of the session he would help that Senator to get up his bill. Mr. Haxe said it would be doing injustice to the coun- try for him to keep silent, and injustice to the Senate to require the Senator from Missouri to be busy about any- thing. Several Senators ohjected, they desiring to present reports. After considerable confusion and debate, the motion was agreed to—yeas 81, nays 17. ‘the Civil and Diplomatic Appropriation bill was then taken up, and the amendments increasing the appropria- tions for contingent expenses of the Senate from $132,000 to $150.000 were agreed to, The next amendment was for appropriating $75,000 for the purchase of books and farniture for the Congression- ai Library. Mr. Brapnuny, (dem.) of Me., opposed it. After a reply by Mr. Prance, (whig) of Md., it was agreed to. ‘The next amendment was the followin; Forcontinuing the preparation and publ works o!fithe Exploring Expedition, including the expenses of the green house, and for the settlement of arrears due on the erection of reen hose. $25,000. Mr. Bonar, (dem.) of Ark, desired to know when this publication of works of the Exploring Expedition would be concluded? He bad heard of it for years Mr. Bropneap, (dem.) of Pa., read a list of appropria- tions since 1845, by which it 2ppeared that $180.000 had been expended already in the preparation and publica- tion cf these books, not including the amount now pro- sed, Muir, Prance explained that Congress directed, y sgo. the preparation and publication of these sci works. In pursuance of that law. contracts had made for their preparation. Somo of the works hnd been published, and they were the beet and most reliable ‘works on the scientific subjects treated of by them, ever published inthe world. This appropriation was necessa- ry to exeente contracts~made by the authority and di- rection of law, In answer to questions, he Said that $25,000, in addition to the sum provided for in the amend- ment, would, he believed, complete the works, Nesers, Hate, Bropueap and Bortanp opposed the amendment, Mr. Bropirap moved « proviso, that with this sum tho works shall be completed ‘This was rejected. by yeas, 16; nays, 30. ‘The amendment was then adopted. Several verbal amendments were alro agreed to. The bill was then postponed till to morrow, at half- past eleven, ti THE WHEELING BRIDGE BILL was received from the House, and referred to the Judi- ciary Committee, THE RIVER AND HARBOR BILY. was taken up, and the amendment changing the phrase- ology of the item containing the appropriation for deep- ening the channel of the mouth of the Mississippi. which was debated yesterday, was agreed to, by yens, 37; nays. 13. ‘The next amendment reported by the Committee of Commerce. was one appropriating $3,000 for the survey of the Rappahannock river, in Virginia, Mr. Cass (dem ), of Mich., opposed specific appropria- tions of surveys of particular points. He was for ap- propriating. in gross, acertain sum to be expended in surveys, at the discrotion of the department Mr. Avams (dem.), of Miss , opposed the bill. Tt was stated yesterday that no public money for internal im- provements had been expended in New Hampshire. He would say none had been expended in Mississippi. The committee who reported this bill, however, thinking, por- haps, that New Hampshire hg barren for by a Prosi- dential candidate, and that Mississippi was entitled to $6,000, they awarded her that sum. He entered into an argument, showing that Con had no constita- tional power to appropriate money for works of internal improvements, ‘The proposition to give this power toCon- grees was rejected in the ccnvention which framed the Con- stitution He wasin favor of allowing States to make these improvements by averaging tonnage duties He considered that the whigs now were only second rate in- ternal ithprovement men—the democrats had out-done them, He despaired now of any party resisting this un- constitutional legislation. He had as much confidence in Franklin Pierce as any man in the country, and he did not believe, if that gentleman were in the Senate now, he would vote against the bill, though he did not believe he or any other man, after the precedents which have been established, should veto a ‘lt of this kind. Mesers. C) nd Davis continued the debate on the amendment, Mr. Sewarn, (freesoil) of N. Y., earnestly supported the appropriations tor the survey of the Rappahannock river with a view to its impovement. Mr. Rusx, (dem,) of Texas, advocated the amendinent, Mr. Doves, (dem.) of Ill, said these appropriations for surveys were intended as prelimi: steps for fatare improvement, Tle would like if this were to prevail, to bave surveys made at numerous other places. [n this way the estimates for new works would awell future bills toenormous amounts, This aystem would of course be broken down. Instead of a million and a half for the whole country, five millions would not suffice for works on the lakes alone, Fifteen or twenty millions a year would be required. and the revenue would not meet it, and even that amount would not, when scattered over the country, construct any one work far enough in one year to withstand the storms of a single winter. The system would have to be abandoned. He was for allow. ing the States to construct their own inne tonnage duties, &e Till that or some other system was adopted, he would have to support the present in- efficient one, Mecers. Davie.

He said there wero members in the last, and in this Congr who have sons in the naval school, and contended there was too much nepotism, gen- erally, which ought to be put down, as well where mem. bers are interested, as other persons. Mr. Carrrer, (dem) of Ohio, opposed the amendment, for the reason thatthere was no occasion forit He thought the gentleman aimed a little below the standard of self re- spect which members should entertain for themselves. He did not believe the abuse, of which the gentleman spoke. existed. He did not suppose it possible. as was re- marked, for ene gentleman to transfer his offspring to a neighboring State for the purpose of having him piaced in a public institution. Mr. Jonson of Tenn., asked what does the gentleman mean by striking low ? Mr. Cantter.—Below the standard of self: respect. Mr, Jonxson.—A member from Ohio put his own son in the naval school at Annapolis A Voice.—Name him. ~- Sawyer is not a member of this Congross. . Canrren said if the law of self-respect will not re- strain a member from abuse of duty, no other law will. Mr. Sweersen, (dem) of Ohio, said the gentleman from ‘Tennesece was entirely mistaken in supposing that Mr. Sawyer was guilty of a violation of law, Mr Jouxsox--i did not say that Mr. Sawyer violated the law, but simply that a member of Congress had his own on appointed. Mr. Sweerzen remarked that Mr, Sawyer appointed his own son, who was a resident of his district, and had aright to doit. The matter of delicacy, however, was another question. Mr, Jolinson’s amendment was rejected.

The head of the society, Mr. Baker, has been undergoing, for two days, an examina- tion which is very ecarching, It is thought the examl- nation will occupy a month, An immense amount of property is involved in the case, Nachtrieb, formerly a | member, was expelied from the society about twenty years ago, and, claims his share of the property, and dowages, ' The’Commissioner was appointed, on a pro=* liminary decree, to report, and to be subsequently argued. Among the assets is the eum of $510,000 in specie, which was withdrawn from circulation during Jackson's ad- ministration, on the suspension of specie payments by the banks, and which has been lying idle in the vaults at Fconemy ever since. ‘Theriver rose to the extent of twenty-two inches during last night.

A Series of Destructive Fires. LARGE AMOUNT OF PROPERTY DESTROYED AT TROY-- YIFTY FAMILIES RENDERED HOUSELESS, BTO. Troy, August 19, 1862. A fire broke out, at one o'clock this morning, im the lumber yard of P. Dauchy & Son, in Wost Troy, com- suming every board in the yard, the value of which was estimated at from $60,000 to $60,000. It was partially insured, mostly in the Troy Mutual, and in the New York Protection of Rome. Besides the above, thirty or forty small tenemont: were destroyed, by which nearly fifty families are house- less, The loss Is variously estimated at from $100,000 to $200,000 It probably amounts to $150.000. The fire was doubtless the work of an incendiary, as the lum- ber yard, when first discovered, was on fire in several places, THIRTY THOUSAND DOLLARS WORTH OF PROPERTY BURNED AT UTICA, Unica, August 19, 1852.
