The setting of to-morrow’s sun will anoounce the elose of the present political campaign, in the result ef which every citizen of the land is most deeply imterested—oconsequently, we to-day devote conside- Fable space to accounts of the movements of the @ifferent parties, factions and cliques, in order that all may be fairly represented, and that tho people— the umpires between right and wrong—may bs fully able to judge of the merits of those who are s2cking for their suffrages. The particulars of the extraor- dinary piece of alleged chicanery attemptel to be ptactised upon the democrats, which was exposed at Tammany Hall last Saturday evening, will be | found oxceedingly rare, curious and interesting.— The Union whigs in this State, it will bo observed,like tho greater portion of their brethren in other sections ef the country, still adhere to their electoral ticket, notwithstanding the blow they have experienced in the death of the lamented Webster.

The attention of the reader is directed to much | other interesting political intelligence, to which we have no room to more particularly refer. The full report of the proceedings on the occasion of raising the first pillar of the Crystal Palace last | Saturday, will naturally attract the attention of every man who is interested in the progress of the arts, and the agricultural and geological resources of this vast coniinent. The speeches of Gov. Hunt, Mayor Kingsland, Mr. Sedgwick, and others, give a complete epitome of what this great undertaking is intended tv accomplish; while the letter of the Inte Mr. Webster—one of the last, if not the last he ever wrote—will be read with melancholy interest. It is expected that the building will be com- pleted by next May, and then the Old World will have an opportunity of judging what can be done in this comparatively new but nevertheless great | eountry. In addition to a lengthy description of the mourn- ful ceremonies connected with the entombment of | the remains of Mr. Webster, at Marshfiold, last Fri- day, we elsewhere publish th ting proceedings and specches at the special meeting of the Historical Society, on Saturday evening, together with reports ofmany of the sermons delivered in this city yes- terday. Notwithstanding tho general confusion which has been engendered by the great political turmoil and excitement of the day, every class of readers will pause, and peruse the columas this day devoted to the commemoration of the dis- tinguished dead Not the least interesting of the great variety of news spread before the public to day, is that which relates to the affairs in the countries bordering on the South Atlantic. The advices from Buenos Ayres are especially important to those of our mer- “chants who are engaged in the South American trade, from the fi at they confirm the annouace- ment that the fre vigation of the rivers Parana and Urugusy have been thrown open to the world, and a1 other reforms have taken place which will greatly benefit commerce generally.

Their only offence consisted in ay empt to perform their duty, by capturing the runwway and returning him to his owner. Some additional and more authentic particulars relative to the terrible railroad accident on the New Haven railroad, at Windsor, last Saturday, are given elsewhere. As stated yesterday, tho two brothers, Mesers. Billington, were the only pergons killed, though several others were very severely injured. On taking into considerasion the frightfal nature of the catastrophe, in which the track anda large portion of the bridge were totally demolished, it evems miraculous that more lives were not sa- erificed. The cargo of the steamboat Queen City, resentlY “ reported aground near Dunkirk, had to be thrown overboard before the vessel could be goto. « The celebrated case of Bulkeley against Smith and Brush—the quarrel among lawyers—for mali- cious prosecution, has terminated in a verdict of $3,000 for the plaintiff.

T autborize you to make such use of this le‘ter as you deem proper, and remain, with sincere regard, aa very truly, AUGUST BELMONT. ‘This second refutation of the unfounded acousa- tions of the Tribune philozophers against Mr. B, was hardly necessary. The mean and unprincipled course which those reckless socialists have pursued against him, in refusing to publish’ his letter of defence against tbeir first assaults, and ia persist- ing in their original false charges, with additions and new inventions from day to day, had already convicted them in the minds of all intelligent men conversant with the facts, of the grossest disregard in this matter, of the common decencies of society. Their fabrications against an adopted citizen for daring to express his opinions against Gen. Scott, have been, as we are informed, printed in German, and circulated by thousands in New York, Penn- sylvania, and the adjoining States, to cheat and defraud our German fellow citizens, if possible, out of their votes. But we rather suspect that this last desperate trick will have no more effect upoa our honest and sensible German population than the pampblet of ‘* Why I am a Whig,” or the ** Picto- rial Life;”’ or the counterfeit, reckless paper, in the disguise of an “‘Irishman,” got up by the same concern. Another day will whistle them all down the wind. We have also received a note from Father M’Donald, the Catholic pastor of Manchester, Now Hampshire, testifying to the authenticity of the let- ter heretofore published over his signature, exposing the mean and dirty tricks of Robinson and Cooney, in trumping up Catholic certificates in New Hamp- shire, against Gen.

The steaofast courage and frankness which have been ex- hibited by the straightforward and upright Catholic | pastor of Manchostor, in exposing the dirty work of | Cooney and Robinson, are deserving of all praise. It | has been manifest, from the first, that he entered into the arena of polities with reluctance; butit has | been made a matter of self defence and of veracity ; | and with the tue Christian, the truth is alwdysthe | first and the last consideration, whoever may stand | or fall. Our readers will also be interested in the reading | of the appeal of the Webster men of New York— their last appeal against the election of General | Scott. They take the bold and impregnable posi- | tion that the election of General Scott in 1852, is the nomination of W. H. Seward for 1856. This has been our position; and the history of Seward, the secret and official history of the Baltimore Whig | Convention, and the present organization of the ruling epirits of the whig party ef the North, oon- firm the programme of arrangements for Sewar just | have been exrriers answering this description, wo | cannot pretend to deny; but we question whether | they are not the exception instead of the rule. | It is told of William Chambers, that when yet a book-pedlar in Leith walk, he carried, round to his subscribers the first small book he ever printed. He is now one of the greatest publish ers and booksellers in the world. So John Wal- ter, the member for Ni gham, is fond of relating how his father, the founder’ of the Loudon Time’, carried, with his own hands, the first numbers of tha’ | wealthy journal to the few patrons whom he had se curcd. The history of the New Yorke Weaarp affords similar examples of the reward which inva- | riably attends industry and prudence. It will as tonish most of our readers to learn that, with few exceptions, our carriers are men in easy if not in afiluent circumstances. They began life by selling | the HenaLD ata profit of halfa cent a copy, and | arenow, in many instaveos, real estate holders, and | would net change their humble vocation for an office in Wall street. We have collected a few data respecting this | claes of our attachés, and will enfeavor to pres:nt thom to our readeys in a concise shape. Ag will be | seen from the following sketches, the general rule is, that one carrier superintends the serving of each separate ward of the city. The right of serving the | HERaLp in any ward, however, is reserved by its proprietor. To begin at random among our notes. Johnson was penniless five years ago. At that time, he borrowed capital, as he 3: obtained the Fifth ward from its incumbent, and a few Herarps to start with. He has prosperod, his route is lucrative, his income very handsome. He owns property in Hoboken which we understand is worth some $3,000. Farrin had tried every trade with little success. Some nine years ago he was advised to doal in HERALDS, and accordingly purchased a few. The sale of these encouraged him to secure the Thirteenth ward, which he has now held for up- wards of eight years. He now owns property valued at $3,000, and is commonly reported to be on the high road to fortune. Pritchard was more enterprising or more fortu- nate than most of his fellow-carriers. He suc- ceeded, by dint of pushing, in getting the Fourth ward of the HERALD without any outlay of capi- tal, and in a very short space of time made mo. ness. Ho handed over his Heratp inheritance to his brother, who now serves the paper and is making money. William Marshall was one of the original carriers of the HEraLp. faithfully ever since its firat establishment, and has well earned his reward. His profits as carrier jn the Third ward average $5 50a day. Though a single man, be keeps house in very good style, and lives in comfort, with his aged mother. worth money. Price also joined the corps of HERALD carriers shortly after the establishment of the paper. With the money he has made as carrier he has acquired an interest in another lucrative business, and pur- chased property in Williamsburg. His earnings are gaid to amount to°$5.000. Thero is a romance attached to the Ninth ward. It was served or (to use the technical phrase) ‘‘car ried” by P. H. Horton, who died three years ago | leaving the ward and a snug little property to his widow. Mrs. Horton rented the ward to Tutten, who, finding tho rent rather heavy, cancelled his lease by acquiring the fee simple of the widow. The ward is thus held by the married couple, and nets them some four or five dollars a day. Tutten hasa large balance to his credit in the Saving’s Bank. Shearer had been for years a newspaper carrier with indifferent success. About four years since be commenced in the Seventeenth ward, and, by fol- lowing in the footsteps of his predecessor, is making about $4 a day. Those who are in a position to | judge of his cireumstances consider him worth some $5,000. Day was one of the early carriers of the Heratp, | and, though he began without capital, has seen his persevering industry crowned with its never-failiog recompense. The prefits of the Eleventh ward have enabled him to purchase a farm in the country, on which he will spend his old age in ease and com- fort. A similar measure of success has rewarded the diligence of Davidson, the carrier of the Sixteenth ward. He, too, began with nothing; but economy and attention to business have enabled him to Jay by from six to seven thousand dollars His route is worth about $4 a day. Fight years ago, Bush arrived in New York, blessed with little knowledge of the world, and less cash. Ho was glad to accep! an offer of employ- ment at ¢2aweek. This salary, however, being insufficient to supply even his moderate wants, he applied for, and suceceded in obtaining, the Tenth promotion in 1856. Tho Webster men of New York were somewhat late in effecting their organizatio: but the unshaken resolution with which they sti to their principles, is most admirable. Let them | carry out their principles at the ballot boxes to-mor row, and we may assured that their movement will be like good seed sown in good ground, produ- cing, in due fcagon, some and some a hundred fold of good, sound fruits for the Union and the Con- stitution Upon these three points—the letter of Father McDonald, the letter of Mr. Belmont, and the ap- peal of the Webster men—we have the Fouricrite | rookery finally and totally defeated, in the Cooney and Robinson attempt to defraud the Catholics, in the attempt of Greeley to cheat the Germans, and n the various expedients and experiments to hood- wink and bamboozle the Webster men into the sup- port of General Scott and W. H. Seward. Nothing, as a cheat, bas been attempted during this campaign mere impudent and disgraceful than the Cooney and Robinson game in New Hampshire—nothing | has been more completely exploded. Nothing more | desperate has been resorted to than the desperate efforts of the Ty/dune concern to prejudice General Pierce, through Mr. Belmont, among the native Americans and German democrats, andtothing has been more firmly nailed to the counter. Nothing has been more marked in all this canvass, than the malignant hatred of the Seward cliques of Daniel Webster, and nothing has been more justly merited by thom, than the independent course which the friends of Mr. Webster have pursued, and have re solved to pursue to the end In this triple alliance against him, of the Irish Catholics, the Germans, and the Webster mea— native and adopted citizens—General Ssott has to sustain a fire in both flanks and “‘a fire in the rear,” while the residue of the people opposed to his elec- | business. | fitable as many of the other city wards, by vigilance He has served it diligently and | ward ofthe Hrratp.

Blackman has been still more fortunate. He serves the Twelfth ward. The profits of his route do not fall ehort of $50 a weck. He passes among his acquaintance for a rich man. The Fifteenth ward is served by J. McSowan, who, previous to his becoming a carrier, was em- ployed in the Heraup Office. MeGowan has now been four years carrier of the Heraup; he others we have mentioned, a real estate holder, but he has a penchant for politics. He is a leading de- mocrat, spends most of his money in the service of his party, and was nominated a candidate for the office of Arsistant Alderman of the Sixth ward. To those who are familiar with his name as a rising politi i. it may be ® novelty to learn that he owes his sus- cess in life to carrying the Heraup. Benson was a dry goods dealer, in a small way of Unfortunately, he was also the father of a large family, and babies came faster to his nur- sery than dollars to his till. Abandoning the dry goods trade, in consequence, he obtained the Se- cond ward Of the HERALD, and has since added to it the Fourteenth ward, which is under the imme- diate charge of his hopeful son and heir. Between the two, the family is in easy and comfortable cir- cumstances, and Mr. Benson has a small hoard for # rainy day. It is some years since the brothers McNie took charge of the new wards above Union square: They, too, began with nothing, and their route did not at first hold out very brilliant prospects. But the rapid progress of the city, and the consequent increase of the circulation of the Hrrayp, has in ce- tion, are pressing down upon him in a solid mass in Such appeare to be the order of battle of the Presidential election. With the rising of the san to- the whole line, front, flank, and rear; and with the close of the day the battle will be ended.

Their profits vary from eight to ten dollars per day, and are steadily augmenting. Some time ago, one of the brothers fancied he had @ vocation for farming, and accordingly purchased a ‘arge tract of good land out West with his savings. But the force of habit predominated over his tran sient caprice; after a few months absence, he waa glad to return to his old calling, and resume his matinal post on the steps of the Heravofiice. Wo $20,000, all of which has been coined by carrying the Hera. But the most remarkable instance of success at- tending the industry and porsevorance of a carrier, | bery money has been appropriated to objects of cha- | | rity. We have thus made them do good in spite of is making some $6 a-day, and may be, like the | the case of the In the winter of 1835, poor boy, and hungry, fled from his home, on Long Island, in eonsequenco of ill- treatment from his father, and obtained from Mr. Bennett the right of selling the Heravp in the First ward. He waa honest, industrious, and ever ready at bis post—needless to say that at the end of a few years, he had laid by money, and was able to start in the Sixth ward, which he retains, with the one to which he owes his fortune. By a jadi- cious management of his capital, and strict integrity, Edwin England has realized a sum exveoding $25,000, a part of which is invested in the property kpown as 556 Broome street, and the remuinder in bank stocks. He was followed, some seven years ago, by another England, whoso good fortane is still more astonishing than that of his rela- ton. Having begun the world with nothing but his own energy to rely upon, in the space of four years he accumulated $6,000, with which he purchased a fine farm on Long Island. He has siace stocked and improved it to such an extent that it would now fetch $10,000 mere it forced into the market. He works it himself,and may be seon, from his cottage to the city, to serve his customers with the HeraLp His industry and enterprise have secured hima small fortune—about equal to that of his namesake. We find yet another England in the list of carriers—no unworthy companion to those we have mentioned. He, it seems, was formerly a milkman; but disheartened by the neglect of the pub- lie, and the want of cuatomors, he determined to be- come ® purveyor of a more nuiricious diet, and be- gan to sell the Heranp in Staten Island. The change was a fortunate one. Asthe population on the island increased in numbors and intelligence, the demand for the HERALD became more consider- able; and now the ex-milkman nets about $5 a day onbis papers. England f¢ertius, owns real estate and stores in Brooklyn to the amount of $15,000. The HERALD is sold in Brooklyn by several oar- riers, who are all doing well. The principal one is named Lusk; he makes about $6 a day, and is sup- posed to be worth from five to six thousand dollars. | Another, named Green, clears $3 a day, aud has | saved money. J. Mott sells the Heratp in Heboken. Like | most of the fraternity, he began with nothing, and | had very slender prospects of bettering his condition. He has often crossed to Hoboken with but a dozen Heraxps for sale. Luckily for him, Hoboken was a rising p'ace, and can now afford to take six or sev- en hundred copies of the paper. Mott has thus been enabled to purchase a comfortable house, and pos- ses3 a round sum of ready cash besides. In lik manner, the fortunes of Powell have brightened with the growth of Williamsburg; the Heraup has provided him with a house and lot of land, and fur- The most profitable of all the Herap routes is that which is held by Meehan in New Jersey. His history is a lesson to many of the youths who are now idlers in the streets. Only twelve years ago, he was friendless. Starvation staring him in the face, in utter recklessness he shipped on board a seems to have operated favorably on his inclina- tions. He returned a wiser lad; joined the Tom- perance society, and began to sell the Hezatp His sales now give bim an average profit of $10. day; and he has occasionally netted as much as $20 and $30.a day. He is possessed of real estate in this city, Jersey City, and the neighborhood, worth about $30,000. Thus we see, that in the calling of newspaper carrier, asinevery other, honesty, diligence, and regularity of conduct never fail to lead to prosperity. It seems a small matter at first to make a profit ofhalfa centon & newepaper; but a thousand half cents make $5, and, as the preceding sketehes show, many of our carriers tell over that number, While it is to us a mat- ter of no suiall satisfaction to know that we have been in a measure instrumental in raising so many families to a position ef comfort and plenty, we trust that the perueal of the foregoing lines will not be unattended with profit by the boys of New York. We fervently hope that it may be the means of in- ducing many of those who are now leading a life of | idleness, misery, and vice, to turn to some honest calling, and emulate the meritorious conduct of those whose reward we have chronicled. And we feelcon- | fident that it will not be lost upon those who are already engaged in the calling of newspaper car- riers. They will perceive, we feel assured, that if | integrity and perseverance command success, no- glect of business, dishonesty, and disrespect to those | in whose employ they are, cannot fail to lead te poverty and disgrace. If these anticipations are GENERAL WALBRIDGE AND THE Brimisn Brinery Case —Asa simple act of justice to General Wal- bridge, the democratic candidate of the Third dis- trict, for Congress, we lay before the public, in our columns this morning, several letters from men whose names are a sufficient guaranty of the truth of their testimony, in vindication of the charactor and conduct of General Walbridge while in London. These letters are a complete refutation of the vil- | lanous charges brought against him by Williams & Lockbart, of Change Alley, London, in connection | with their miserable and disgraceful attempt to | bribe an American pregs to their discreditablo abo- | lition and stock-jobbing purposes in the defeat of | Walbridge. Whatever may be the result of the clec- tion, the British faction in London, in thoir base attempts to intermeddle in our elections, will have received a rebuke which they will be apt to remember, in their exposure; but they will probably derive some consolation from the fact that their bri- themselves. A half dozen other letters of the high- | est credibility, have been placed at our disposal, in | defence of General Walbridge, but we consider that | his case ie perfect and conclusive, without them, against his British adversaries. Musical and Theatrical. Tue Excusn Orena at Nisio’s, Madame Anna Bishop and an excellent company open the operatic season in New York, to-night, at Niblo’s, with the representation of Flotow’s splendid opera of “Martha,” rendered in En- glish. There is no doubt but it will be put upon the stage with that taste and liberality which characterise this es- tablishment. and we may look for a rich and successfu season. Madame Anna Bishop is herself one of our most talented and charming singers, and she has associated with her a froupe of great merit and ability, We will see | to morrow evening whether the new English opera com- pany will be equal tothe high anticipations we have formed of it. We expect to see Niblo’s crowded this eve- ning, with the taste, fashion and beauty of our city, and to see this comp ny regularly installed asthe first of our theatrical and musical attractions, The opera is a splon- did production, comprising many delicious airs, and has produced a great ecneation ia Vienna and throughout Germany, wherever it has been represented. We feel confident of its success in this metropolis. Wanrace’s Lycxum.—Mr, Wallack’s excellent manage- ment of this handsome theatre has produced its effect, by drawing crowded and brilltant houres, night after night. ‘Wallack, himzelf, has, for the first time in years, re- sumed the sock and buskin, and his stock company com. priges a fund of talent and ability.

The number going up is small compared with the number on the stocks s few months buck It was anticipated this fall would show a groat im- provement over the summer in this branch of indus try; but the empty condition of some of the yards, and the comparatively idle state of others, show the anticipation, however apparently well founded at the time, has not been realized.
