The democrats elected their candidate for the former office by over three thousand majority—a tremendous gain. The recent outrages and insults perpetrated to- wards American citizens and the flag of the repub- lic, by the Spanish authorities in Cuba, have had their effect on the two great parties in this metro- polis, as wil] be seen by the reports in our columns, of two meetings held on that subject—one anout-of- door mass meeting by the whigs, at the Broadway House; and the other a less considerable one by the democrats, at Tammany Hall.

There havebeen a few cases of cholerain different places, but the diecase does not appear to have been sufficiently prevalent to cause any great alarm. It appears to have been more malignant at Barton’s Bar than any- where else. There seems to have been most terri- ble suffering and mortality among the passengers who left Panama on the 7th of March, in the Archi bs)d Gracie, the survivorsamong whom did not reach Ban Francisco till the 14th of September. We pub- lish the names of thirty-seven of those who died on the pasesage.

T. Butlor King has been removed from the collec- torship at San Francisco. ‘Very serious charges are said to be pending against him. The steamship Canada, which left Boston for Liverpool yesterday, took out three hundred and | twenty thousand dollars in American gold. The great India rubber case is again on the tapis, at Trenton, N. J., as will be seen by the telegrre phic despatch. There appeare to be no end to tais dispute, which it was thought had already been stretebed to its utmost tension. Sixty-one head of short horned cattle were yes- terdey sold at Troy for ten thousand dollars. One cow brought six hundred and seventy dollars. The farmers of this country are generally beginning to discover that it is as cheap, and frequently much cheapor, to feed stock that will command a high price—hence their desire to procure the best that can be had. In a few years, miserable, raw- boned, half starved looking horses, cattle, and hogs, with which our country has hitherto been infested, will be replaced by animals that are more than twice as profitable. Secretary Webster has been seriously ill within the last few days, at his residence at Marshfield. He was reported convalescent yesterday. We are sorry to learn that several cases of cholera have lately occurred at Wheeling, Va. Henry Rose and Marcus Woodhull, eagineera, were yesterday placed on trial before the United States Commissioner, charged with causing the | death of a fireman, named John Fortune, on board the steamship Franklin, on the 29:h of August, when onher second day out from this port for Havre. According to the evidence thus far adduced, the deceased was of intemperate habits, and having refused to work, Henry Rose stamped on him three times. Finding that he was unable to stand, and expressing his intention to cool him, Mr. Woodhull threw a bucket of water onhim. The finale of the affair was, that Fortune died in a very short time. The examination of witnesses will be resumed to- morrow. Among other very interesting matters with which our inside pages are this morning filled, attention is directed to the Letter of Hon. T.L. Clingman, whig | Congressman from North Carolina, in favor of the | election of General Pierce to the Presidency.

The Coming Presidential Revolution—Aw=- ful Prospect for Gen, Scott and the Aboli= tionists of the North, The returns of the recent State elections held in | Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indiana, received by tele- graph during the last two days, are not fall or offi- cial. But they indicate the facts sufficiently broad and expansive for the mind to perceive that, in the coming Presidential election in this country, we | are going to behold one of the most extraordinary | revulsions or revolutions against military availa- | bility and mere military humbug, that ever took | place among a genrible and great people. There | seems to be no doubt but Pennsylvania, Ohio, and | Indiona, in the recent contests duriag the be- | ginning ot this week, have gone for the United De- | snocracy by large and astounding majorities. There is no necessity to enter into details of this county | or that county, this district or that district, in re- | i ference to these great results; the broad fact is before us, and that fact isa yremonitory symptom of the prodigious revolution in public- sentiment with respect to military humbug, which will be fully developed at the polls next month. | The causes of these recent results in the elections throvghout those great States, are both remote and | immediate. The remote causes may b8 traced to | the shocking disappointment which even the intel; | igent and conservative portion of the whigs have | heretofore experienced, from having relied on | military fame and talents, and military popularity, as recommendations for the highest office of the nation. We allude to the sad failures of General Harrison and General Taylor, in the discharge of their dutioe | as chief magistrates of this country. In some res- pects General Jackson failed also to realize the wishes of his friends. But the public disappoint- ment felt from the incompetency of his military | successors, was great, fatal, marked and irreversible. The more immediate cause of this change in popular | | sentiment, with respect to military availability and of the triumph of common sense, generalized under thename of democracy, over the silly seatiment of | militery glory—as manifested by the people ef Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indiena—may be found ia | the recent electioneering tour of General Scott himself, in which he pronounced from twenty to thirty of the most extraordinary and most ridi, culous specehee that ever came from the lips of man. It is not necesexry to refer to particular passages of these speecher—to his sudden love of ‘‘ the rich Trish brogue,”’ his discovery of beauties in the strong | German accent, his admiration of the horses and cattle and women of Kentucky, and his ackaow- ledgment of the enthutiasm being 9 great among his admirers when they had caught him almost inguris naturalidus. What was wanting in the sud historical reminizcences of the elections of Harrison and Taylor, was made up by the living | evidences exhibited im the series of extraordinary | ®peecdes pronounced by Gen Scott from the stump | in the Western States. The effect thereof, strong | and startling, bas been seen in the recent State elec- tions there, producing a revolution even in the whig party, which gives the democracy an overwhelming | triumph in these States. But that is not all Gen. Scott’s electioneering career in Uhio, Kentucky, and Indiana, having ex- ploded the militery humbug and military avail- ability within their borders, he has now approached | the State of New York, and is, at the present moment, within our limite, endeavoring probably | to produce similar results in thie great State next | mouth which he hes caused in the neighboring States during the last few days; for there can be mow no reasomable doubt but that, on the 2d of next month, the great State of New York will go for GeEnexaL Prence, the democratic candidate, by ome of the most tremend us majorities that the democracy ever had for the lastthirty years. Throughow the whole i | feries cf Goneral Scott's twenty or thirty speeches | there is not a single one to relieve the barrenness, | the meagreneee, the simplicity, the silliness almost, of the sentiments and opinions expressed in them, re which he has delivered relative to movements and decisions at the head of the American army after the conquest of Mexico, and during the occupa tion of the balls of the Montezumas All other speeches were full of egotism, blarney, hum- | bug, vain anecdotes, and other trash. This last speech, revealing the very extraordinary chapter of | his public conduct in Moxico, telle a tale which | proves, from his own lips, to the satisfaction of every independent mind ¢ is unsuitable and ecupy the high n of President of this nexation tshich the leading Mexicans in that dey Proposed , through him, to the American govern- ment a'4d people. He was deputed by his country to fighat her battles, and not to detezmino, without authrity and without law, what should be the inst se and consequence of the war between the two re publics. ‘Tn tho disclosures made by General Scott, and in the confession from his own lips, made in that re- markable speech pronounced at Sandusky, he has given palpable evidence that he is utterly unfit to occupy the high position to which he aspires, and that bis habits, his instincts, and his desires, aro more congenial to the rank of a dezpotic and impe- rial dictator than to that of a general in the American service, obeying the instructions of his gevernment implicitly and faithfully, asa servant of the American people ought to do. Now look at the consequences. The annexation of Mexico, at that time, could have been effected in opposition to the whole world, peacefully and quietly. We have seen, in the vast accumulation of wealth, and pow- er, and consequence to the country, and particularly to this city and to the Northern States, the results of the acquisition of California and its mineral riches. The acquisition of Mexico, with its multi- tudinous mines of all descriptions, would have been worth more than half a dozen Californias in its re- fults and in its influence over tho rapid progress of this republic, particularly of New York, New England, and the Central States. The assumption of dictatorial powers by General Scott in the city of Mexico, contrary to tho consti- tion, and contrary to law, and contrary to his in- Structions, has deprived this republic of one of the most magnificent prizes that ever was offored for its acceptance. And now only contrast this assumption on the part of General Scott, in the city of Mexico, with his other opinions in favor of the annexation of an abolition, anti-slavery, poverty stricken place like Canada. He is in favor of the one, probably on account of its harboring all the runaway slaves from tke South, but opposed to the other in spite of the’ wealth, the riches, ‘ne power, and the consequence it would have added to this country. The assump. tion of General Scott, in refusing to accept that pro- position or transmit it to his governmont, will delay the progress of the country for fifty or a hundred years. On all these grounds, therefore—his silly bursts of egotism and nonsense, as well as his unconstitu- tional assumption of dietatorial powers—we are not sarprised that the intelligence, the common sense and the sagacious discernment of the people of Pennsyl- vania and the central States, should repudiate all eupport to sucha candidate for the Presidential chair, put forward as he is by the anti progressive abolition party, and with his sentiments de- a5 i i fi il i i te i to which I had the honor of intricate commercial relations were in Kvglund, exchanging civilities and pains exerens a dictinguished member ef the British Parliament was tra- versity Our Own country, and treasonably endeavoring to array, in hostile strife, ome section of our countrymen against the other. ‘The company readily recognized the allusion to George Thompson, the abolitionist, and it was re echoed by a general rising, and the most enthusiastic epplaure, a8 any man can testify who was present upon that oceasion.

In early entering political life, I determined, even in its heated and violent discusriona, toavoid all actimoni- ousand personal abuse, as the character of my public ad- dresees for the last few years will clearly demonstrate.

Very respectfully yours, HIRAM WALBRIDGE. In reference to the money which we have received from Messrs. Lockhart & Williams, for the purpose | of defeating, if possible, the election of General Walbridge, we have now a word to say. An | elderly lady and gentleman came into our office yes- terday, on a benevolent errand, and not witheut some success, as the following receipt will show:— New York, 13th October. 1852. Received. of James G. Benvett, the sum of fifty dol- lars, for the benefit of the “ American Female Guardian Obituary. JOHN L. STEPHENS, K8Q. Our readers will regret to learn the death of this much esteemed citizen and distinguished traveller. He died at the retidence of his father, in this city, on Tuesdey night, after an illness of some months, in the forty-seventh year of his age. His remains will be interred on Friday, after funeral service at St. Thomas’ Oburch, Mr, Stephens was a native of this city, and the aon of Benjamin Stephens, Esq., one of our oldest and wealthiest merchants, now nearly four score yeara of age. His son, John L., graduated at Columbia Cvilege, and fora few Years was a practitioner at law, Being of a delicate con- stitution, be was induced, for the benefit of his health, to visit foreign countries. The Oriental regions, on the Me- diterranean, attracted his attention both for th» beneficial character of their climates, and the interesting objects they present to the traveller. On his return to his native land he was advised by his friends to publish the notes he had kept of his tour to the East, and in 1837 he appeared as an author, in bis “Incidents of Travel in Egypt, Arabia, Petres, and the Holy Land,” in two vols., a work which imme- diately received the public favor, and passed rapidly through several editions, This was followod, in 1538, by arimilar work.in two vols, on ‘Greece, Turkey, Po- land,” &c. These works were republish:d in London, and received the most flattering notice from the re- viewers, His next work, a small boot of travels through England, did not attain ‘the same populerity as his pre- ‘yious contributions in literature. In 1829. Mr. Stephens was recommended to Governor Seward for the appointment of agent of this state to visit Holland, for the purpose of collecting records of our colonial Leroy J bat as he was attached to the demo- cratic party, he was opposed by the whiga in the Legisla- ture. and the Governor did not venture to nominate him for the office which he sought, and Mr. Brodhead received the appointment. Mr Van Buren. being then President of the United states, gave Mr, Stephens the ap- pointment of charge d’affuires to Cemtral America, which enabled him, in on official charaoter, to visit that inter- esting country and to explore its antiqaities. On his re turn to the United States, be prepared for the pross his moet celebrated work, and which was published ia iSil, in two octavo volumes, viz: “Incidents of Travel in Cea. tral America,” &. This work had an immense sule and great popularity on both sides of the Atiantic Its su cess induced bin, in 1842, vo visit Yucatan, and his travels in that country, with an account of its antiquities, appesred in two volumes, Svo., in 1843. The sule of this work, although not equal to that on Central America, ‘was, we believe, highly remuncrative; and we may re mark that no American traveller bas ever realized such large profits from his publications as Mr Stepheas. When the constitution of New York was revised in 1846, Mr. Stephens was choren one of the delegates from this city to the State Convention summoned for that purpose He was nominated by the democrats and was ‘alco placed on the whig ticket. Consequeatly. with Obas, O'Conor. Etq.. be had the honor of receiving the vote of both parties. He took part in some of the most impor- tant debates in the convention, showing liberal and en- lightened views in statemanship and the science of go- yernment. The acquisition of California having turned the atten- tion of our citizens to the trade of tho Paoitic, the pras- tical knowledge of Mr, Stephens was sought by those of Bociety, or of the Friendless,’’ being part of a sum | of $250 sent from London to influence improperly the | American press, but appropriated to benevolent objects, instead thereof. H. PROBASCO, For the Ex. Com. of the Home. We have yet two hundred dollars remaining of | this first, and probably the last, instalment of the | twelve hundred and fifty dollar bribe frem cortain | stock-jobbers and,abolitionists of London, for the de- feat of Gen. Walbridge for Congress. This balance | veloped in such speeches and such avowals | as we have just seen him make during his | electioneering expedition in these States. His de. | feat next month will be overwhelming and awful. Further Interesting Disclosures of the Bri- tish Bribe—Appropriation of the Money Received. The curious and impudent bribery Istter, which | we published yesterday, from Lockhart & Wi lioms, of Change alley, London, and our remarks thereon, calling for further information, have been promptly responded to by the parties concerned. Accord- ingly we lay before our readers this morning, a note from the Hon. E. B. Hart, the “retiring member” of the Third Congressional district of New York, | covering a letter from Mr. Bedford Williams, (of the | firm of Lockhart & Williams.) to Mr. Hart, which | contains even more serious charges against the | doings of General Walbridge in London, than our letter with its bribe of fitty pounds sterling; and we also publish a communication from Ge- neral Walbridge, in his own defence, which, we think, to all impartial men, will be perfectly satis- factory. The whole ground of this British attack upon General Walbridge lies in the fact, we appre- hend, that he fairly outwitted the London stock- jobbers in certain financial operations connected with the California gold mines, by getting first into the market. The following are the lotters:— TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. | Sie i— In your paper of this morning @@lluding to the nomina- tion of Genera Walbri¢ge for Congress, and the letter ‘ou have received from Messrs Williams & Lockhart, ondon. you conclude by stating “tbat we would like to know if Mr. Hart. alluded to ar@ ring member of Con- gtess, knows anything of the Mr, Williams, who is te be 2 corre-pondent with him on the same subjec us have a full investigation of this curious business.” I | beg leave to state that, at the close of ast month, I re- ceived. by the steamer, from Mr. William of which Iannex; that I have no other acquaintance or correspondence with him, nor knowledge of the facts which | he charges upon Mr. Walbridge Having informed my con- stituents, early in the last session of Congress, that my private sffairs demanded I should retire at the end of the | session Ikove no other desire in this matter than that | common io every citizen—that the di-trict should be | properly represented in the next Congress—and. therefore, | L cordiaily concur with you, that “a full investigation” is desirable, — Very truly yours, B.

He ought not—-I" hope will not—-ever represent the de- moctacy of New York. During his residence in London, he parsed himeelf off as a Generalin the United States army, and asone who Gittinguithed himself in Mexico; and cn the strength of this was admitted into some so- ciety, where he impored upon the credulity of those he ercountered in a most disreputele and ungentiemanly inner, Further. He stated that he was apartner of Col. Fremont, and that he had been in California—all of | which was faise. He was aiso concerned in, and im fact was the prime mover of, rome strindling transactions here. for which he was obiiged to leave the country clan- destinely, without any bugenge. excepting a dozen ehirts, | which be ordered to be ready for him at a certain time and place. in Regent street, giving his landlord to under- ttand that he was only goig down to Liverpool to see off some friends. At this time he had a large sum of monsy in Bank of England notes, stitched in his pantaloons, a large portion of which belonged to Col. Fremont, and which this gentleman has not been able to get from him, and probally uevyer Will, He was bnoted down for some time by parties here, who would have arrested him for swindling.

All we requested was granted from the Friday previous, by the priocipal shipowners and boss riggers of the city, signing a paper to that effect; so. we bad no occasion to strike, Our men were at work on Monday morning, at the ad- vanced wages, end were compelled to leave off, through. men we bave nothing to do with further than they work. on board of ships, as we do—but our work is different, our wages are different, and the manner in which we sought: and obtained our object was very different.
