There was the agent of the socity that bas undestaken to scud out ‘Wist tbe balf a milion of emigrants who arrive esac: }eur in our country, and he “spake in praise ef Kanses,” ona told stories of the Mis gurl darkies; and there was @ man who wapud to know why New York did notadopta prvhibitory liquor law. Aft-r a while the unti- Sebrarka meeting adjourned, and tnose who as aisted in it “cénsolidated” on tue teetotal gather ing. Thesceforth all was plain sailiog. The tem- persnce meeting re-organized, and adopted a series of resolutions, one of which dec:ares indepeadent nominations for Governor and te Legislature ue- cemary , and anvther a; proves of the proposed con- veptwn at Auburn.

THE NEW GRANADA REVOLUTION. By the ar ival of the bark Restless, Capt. Orowell which sailed from Bananquills (near Carthageas) on July 28, we bave some very interesting new from New Grimada. It appears that Gen. Melo na- held Bogots since the date of the expulsion of the governmevt army on May 20, and well info mec correspondents look upon it as pretty ce taia tha ‘the contest would be a protractea one, although a lust date the government was collecting a larye force cn the left bank of the Magdalena. The ven levies sere untrained, and it was not expected th-5 could act with efficiency for eome fow weeks. How ever, they were sapplied with all the materiel 0: iliac i digi 0 Melo forces lovated on the +ast bavk of the Mag a'err. General M-lo had bis heacqua ers st Face a'iva, and the “ Clew guros” bad po ounced fa he favor. It was ex: pected that -ome decia v- pews wonld be for varded from Bogota p # -ertaght, and disinte-ested writers tbougbht that she legitimate government would triumpb in the end; butthe rasbness—or conéne' more culpable—-of rome of their generals was likely ‘o ret»rd that event. THE ABDUCTION CABE IN IRELAND, In referring ye-terday to the trial of Jha Caden, Exq., of Barnaoe, county Tipperary, Irelacd, for the | attempted abs uction of Miss Arbutinot, we were in ervor ip etating that ‘he lady was a sater of Lord | Gougb’s wife. Miss Arbuthnot is sister ef the Hon. Capt. Gough, sen of the veteran hero of affzbanis- tan. Jobn Carden was at ove time a candidate for ti e representation of Tipperary o-unty, on the high conservative inte est, but, failiog in that, he wis a few years subsequently nomiasted by the liberal party. Heis a Justice of the Peace end Deputy Lieutenant for the county, avd haa beea placed oa the list more than once by the Judges of Aesize for the important offive ot High Bheriff, bat was not selec ed by the Lord Lieutenant of [reland, whose prerogative it is to elect soy one of the three gan- tlemen named by the Jadges. Mr. Cardeo is a man of stunted gtature, stera and daring disposition, aad bas been several times shot at by teaaaty whom he had disposessed or otherwise dealt harshly with. So frequently, indeed, has he escved the aim of the assaseim, that he was thought by the pessautry to bear “a charmed life” or be ball proof. He is what mey be c nsidered wealthy, bring ore of the few landlords in that part of the country whose property haa not undergone the liquidating process of the Incumbered Estates Court. His estate, on which there is a splendid mansion, is valued at be tween two and three thousand pounds sterliag a year; and fe is a kinsman of Sir Jobn Craver Oar r den, Bart., of the Priory, whore eatute joins that of Barnane. The fate of this gentleman, consatgaed to two years’ imprisonment with hard lubor, formerly the associate ond peer of the nobles of the land, ex- emplifies the truth of the old saw, that “ there is but one law for the rich and the poor.” The Saratoga Anti-Slavery Coalition—Ano ther Convention Catied=Tne cetreat of the Whigs Cac Off Prosp- cts of & Vapitalasiog, The Saratoga Anti-Slavery Coalition Con- vention bas met and adjourned. Its prooceed- ings have been published in our colamns. The resolutions adopted in reference to princtples, are of the exact character that we anticipated. They take the most decisive ground for the restoration of the Missouri line of demarcation against the institution of Souther. slavery, and against the introduction of any more slave States into the Union. Had they stopped here the convention would have been a fizzle, and its proceedings “mere sound and fury, signify ing nothing.” The whigg, if so di-posed, might bave laughed at the folly of the Suratoga bub- ble, aud whistled it off, aud its string of ab stractions, as worthy of li tle or no atiention. But the Saratoga coalition not only laid down their platform—they not only approved “the course of the ireemen of Coonecticut, Ver- mont, Iowa, Ohio, Indiana and Michigan, pos poning or disregarding their mlaor differeaces of opinion or preferences, and acting together cordially and trustingly in the sacred cause of freedom, free labor and free soil” —they have not only commendes the spirit which has ac- tuated the new Anti-Slavery Alliance in alt these States, and recommended it “to the free- meo of this and other States, exborting eacb man to renounce his party whenever and wherever that party proved unfaithfal to hu- man freedom,’’ but they have done som» thing more; they have posted their whole body of reserves so as to command the rear of the forthcoming Whig State Convention at Syra- cuse, and have thus cut off their last chance of retreat. The Whig State Convention for the nomina- tion of their candidates for Governor, Lieute- nant Govervor, Canal Commissioner and State Prison Inspector, is to meet at Syracuse on the twentieth day of September. The Saratoga Holy Alliance, chiefly under the management of Gree ey, Raymond, and other instraments of W. H. Seward, consulting the chances of a dodge upon pr'nefpies among the whigs at Sy- racuse, tave placed them in duress, and upon their good behaviour, by appoiating for the twenty-sixth day of Se,tember another meet- ing of the Saratoga fusionists at Auburn, for the nomination of State officers, Th.s resolu- tion is as follows:— Resolved, That when thza convention does adjourn, it wil adjourn to meet again at Auburn, at 0 o'clock A M,or Tuesday, September the 26th, charged wita ths duty of presenting cundidstes for State ofticers to be sup gored at the ensuing election. This is the cream of the whole affair. It is awhip held in ferrorum over the heads and shoulders of the whigs; it isa warning, and a threat of the consequences of disobedience; and the poor whigs, still anxious to fall back upou the remains of their old broken down platform, with a little anti-slavery patching— the poor whigs of New York, thus solicitous to maintain, even ia their rags and dirt, some show of respectability, are very much to be pitied. The Albany Register and other whig journals of the silver gray order have been laboring earnestly to defeat the absorption of the whig party ot New York by the new anti- slavery coalition. The Seward men at Sarate ga, fally aware of this, and suspecting that the Fillmore interest might possibly have sufficieat influence to make a milk-and-water concern of the Syracuse convention, have thus hemmed them in on every side. There is now no alter. native for the whigs at Syracuee bus to surren- ver at discretion, or cut their way through with the sword and the bayonet. What will the whigs do at Syracuse? That is now the engrossing question. Tho nomina- tion of their State officers is not in reality the thing. Their whole policy of action on the sluvery question is what tne Saratoga coali tion are after. A free soil State ticket will do. 4s for as it goes; but a string of reeolutions requiring every whig candidate for Congress to go the full length of the Saratoga pltform, 1s the great object in view. This will be equi- valent to a fusion, and to the consummation of the holy anti-slavery alliance in New York Thie work being once accomplished here, will soon be perfected throughout the North; and the little resolution we bave just given does, n our judgment, provide for settling the ques ion. The same active agents of Sewardism who dictated the proceedings at Saratoga, will b among the ruling spirits of the Whig Conven- tion at Syracuse, and of the subsequent whip ping in or whipping out convention, number two, of the abolition coalition at Auburn. The Fillmore conservatives in this State are weak ‘n bumber, and, since the paseage of the Ne brake bill, bave become exceedingly feeble iv pirit. They are with the Saratoga alliance upon the Nebraska question ; bat, if, possible, hey derire very much to share in the ‘*poils of be November election, without coming to an open rupture with their friends in the South Like Micawber, they think that “something wor from Banarquilla, and opersions were com: § may turn up’’ between thie time and the year KR 1886, which will agen gives na'‘ionatity to the whig party und the asce den y t» tie Fil mere division of New York. This i'ea ‘s a d-insion; for the game bas been block -d by ‘bat sigaifi- capt little reso'ution of tue Saratoga aati- slavery amalgawationis's. The whigs at Syrscuse will full into line. The Seward faction will have the power to en- force implicit obedience to the Saratoga resolu- tions. The Fillmore men therefore, have, io the meantime, only to determine whether they shall join the new Northern auntitlavery alliapoe against the South, or cut aloof from it. and look out for some other political association more consistent with the remaant of conserva- tiem whieh they stil retain. There is no other chance for them. They will pot be permitted to play fast and loose at Syracure, upon the plan recommended to the democratic soft shells by the Albany 4tlas. The whig State conven- tion, with the perils of another meeting of the Seratoga fusiovists close upon their heels. at Avuburn—the village where the arch-agitator himrelf residee—the whigs at Syracuse, we re- peat. will surrender, ander the cvntrolling pow- er of the Seward interest, in front and in the rear, and will go over to the anti-slavery alliance. As far as the New York conservatives are concerned, Webstr men, Fillmore men, and democratic hardshels, and as far as they may be still attached to national principles and a vational party, we can recognize no other course of safety and of saccess before them, now, than 8 counter coalition, Norta and South, witbout regard to old party distinctions, anu without reference to the administration; bat imply, with the paramount object in view of defrating the sectional, sevitious, and disunio: programme of the great Northern Holy Aati- Sluvery Alliance. To this end, the conser- vatives who may still be among us, should not wait the issue of the adminis'rative faction convention, or the whig State convention; buat they should at once proceed to some prelimi- nary organization in view of active operations in November. From all the present indications the convention of the free so:l administrative faction will be a thimble-rigging affair ; and the whig convention, body and breeches, will be merged in the anti-slavery coalition. The organization of this new and oversha- dowing Northern anti-slavery party is virtually perfected in Connecticut, Vermont, Iowa, Obio, Indiana, Wisconsin and Michigan; the whig party of Massachusetts have practicully fallen into line ; their reeolations asd those of the Saratoga convention are substantially the same ; the remains of the late whig party in alt the other Northern States are rapidly drifting in the same general direction. Before the expi- ration of the year the new coalition against the South will probably be organized from Maine to Minnesota, and limited only by the line which divides the free from the slave- holding States. The first operations of this Northern coalition will be directed especially to the forthcoming elections to Congress; but the paramount object is the election of a Northern anti-slavery ticket for the Presidency in 1856® and the revolution of the policy of the federal government, so as to employ it against the extevsion, and in behalf of the abolition of Southern slavery at every assailable point. In the prosecution of this programme, sezes- sion aud disunion, anarchy or sec:ional war, and a war ofraces rise up in strong relief iv the foreground, and challenge the attention of every friend of the Union and the constitution and of the happiness, the greatness, the glory and the peace of the country. The pett schemes of old party hucksters for the spoils are already scattered to the winds. There is no national whig party—there is no national demo- cratic party; and the factions into which they are divided are utterly powerl-ss, an@ qe than useless. From their discordes=enagggias in the North, a great anti-slavery dlewn'o. par- ty is in rapld process of organization, and what is wanted is a new national party upon a new platform in direct eppvsition to this anti-slavery coslition, We call the attention of Southern men of all parties, and of Northern conservatives of all parties, to the resolutions of the Boston whig convention, the Saratoga coalition convention, and to the results of the late Western elections, and seriously ask if there isanything in the old rotten democratic organization, or in the re- mains of the old whig platform, or in the free coil and secession spoilamen of the administra- tion, sufficient as the basis for a succe-sful cam- paign against this Northern anti-slavery disun- ion coalition? We think not. The crisis calls tor a new, healthy, homeogeneous national union party, regardless of the cabinet spoils men, of Baltimore platforms, of old party dis- tinctions; but especially directed to the over- throw and dispersion of this new anti-slavery coalition. in a concentration against them of the sound and reliable masses of the American peo- le. 7 What say the Union men of the North? What say the men of all parties of the South? Let ushear. Let us know their estimates of the vulue of this Union, as compared with the cor- rapt and imbecile epoilemen and spoils parties of the day. Cottecr Honors—Tue Last LL. D.—We perecive that Neal Dow, of Portland, has been “ bonored” by the ‘ Indiana Asbary University” with the honorary degree of LL.D. We have seen, lately, mapy queer instances of the mis- application of academic honors—grocers made Masters of Arte—editors of small country and city bewspapers dubbed Doctors of Laws—and ‘be number of A. B.'s, M.D.’s and D. D.’s show- ered upon society lately, has been equal to aa army of devouriog locusts. This act on the part of the Indiana sages, seems the fuaniest of ull the-e funny things Neal Dow suggested th- adoption of he prohibitory liquor law, com- monly called the Maine law, and his pet seo- tion (the destruction clause) has been declared iNegal, unconstitutional and void by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Massachusetts, as well as other competent authorities. It was Neal Dow, too, who made the nice legal dis- tinction bei ween sweet cider and the fermented article—the firet not coming under the ban of his law. For these two legal discoveries, Neal Dow has been made a Doctor of Laws! And it has remained {or the learned pundits of the “ As bury University” to cap the climax of the ri- Siculous farce which has been enacted at nearly all the institutions of learniog, so called, in th: Uvited States, during the paet two or three sears, If matters go op at this rate, sensible men wilt begin to think that college titles are (neults, and honorary’ @ eqtivalent to + or misajons in Colonel Pinck’s militia. If the case was not hopeless, we might have » conrultation of some of the new LL. D.’s on the Maine Law, with Neal Dow, LL. D., in the chair. Politics! pPrespeets of Spais. Eeper ero’s g0 sernmeat, say foreign journals, holds ont prom! ee of ‘ranguillity to S ain. It isa verynee quetion Elem :nt< of trouvle and dircord ®oand as well in the court as in the street, beh in the capital and in the pro- vivees, Dynastic quarreis clus-er round the throne. Personal jeelousies undermine every Spanith government. There is vo \ack of revo- hationists in Ma ‘rid; men who cry like the dis- appointed Parisians of 1830 that their work is only half completed by the overthrow of the ministry. The Count of Montemolia has his crew of fanatic priests and thick headed loyal- ists, eager to renew the butcheries of the Carlist war, and to restore their pretender sbould his accession bathe Spain in blood. These are now flushed with joy at the blow inflict- ed upon the reigning family; and strengthened and encouraged by lurge supplies of gold from Russia. Then Louisa’s French husband has his select circle of wily adberente, who are doubt- lees ready at ® moment's warning to taro Spavich republicanism to as good account as his father turned that of France in 1830, and to proclaim Montpensier the Citizen King of Spain. He would not be the first Frenchman who has sat on the Spanish throne; and all things considered, the kingdom throve full as well under the government of his ancestor the imbecile Philip of Anjou, as under any of the native monarchs, Then Don Pedro of Portugal bas a notion of annexing Spain to his own kingdom: an idea which emanated, in all pro- bability, from the London clubs, and which, if it were once carried into effect, would be likely to meet with considerable favor on the continent of Europe. Besides these rival claim- ants of the throne, the ultra republican party deserves sepurate mention. It seeks the demo- lition of the monarcty, and the re-establish- ment of the old juntas. The people of the provinces are divided between these various fuctions. The adherents of Don Pedro and of Montpensier are few in number; but Montemo- lin still retains a strong party through the priests, and in the large cities, republican theo- ries are widely entertained. All these would combine to overthrow Isa- bella. A coalition for that purpose is expected to be formed at the opening of the Cortes. Its chances of success are worth examining. Were the question, Shall the Bourbons continue to rule Spain? decided by a popular vote, it would unquestionably be given in the negative. For the last forty years, the family has been an ob- ject of utter disgust to every independent Spaniard. The abominable cruelty, duplicity, and imbecility of Ferdinand—the savage atroci- ties committed by both Carlists and Christi- nists during the war—the shamelees profligacy of the Queen Mother, only equalled by the de- bauchery in which her daughter, the Queen, sets the example—withal, toe sublime indiffer- ence each and every member of the royal fami- ly has displayed for the interests of the coun- try and the welfare of the people—have long eradicated from the Spanish heart the last ves- tige of loyalty or regard for its kings. But this sentiment, however potent, is not likely to | have an opportunity of declaring itself. Bayo- nets, not ballot-boxes, will appoint Queen Isabel- Ja’s successor, if she be dethroned. On whose side are the bayonets likely to be found? The most popular men with the Spanizh army at Present are Espartero and O'Donnell. They may be said to hold in their hands the balauce of power in Spain. The side they espouse is sure for the time being to prevail. Now it is quite clear that they cannot join the banner of Montemolin, or that of Montpeusier; and equally certain that they would resist any attemyt on the part of Pedro to make Spain a province of Portugal, Of the two parties which remaio, one—the republican faction—posseases within itself no element of stability whatever. The recollection of the rule of the juntas is enough to deter any Spaniard woo has propery to lose from supporting the establishwent of a re~ publican governwent. Both Espartero and O'Donnell have seen enough of revolutions to know that those who make them never benefit by their work. but are invariably compelled to moke way for others whom the in onstancy of popular favor bears to the surface of the revolu- tionary tide. So long as they content them- selves with being Isabe!la’s ministers, they are tolerably secure of rank and power ; but a re- volution, and the establichment of a republic might be their ruin, and, in the present condi- tion of the Spanish people, could hardly confer any lasting benefi: on the nation. So far as we can see, therefore, the chances seem to be in favor of Isabella, and the reign- ing family. Secure from foreign intervention, in consequence of modern European policy aud the embarrassments of the princi- pal continental powers, Isaballa is likely to find in Espartero a devoted and ® powerful adherent, and with hia aid will pro- bably re-affirm the foundations of her throne Her policy must obviously undergo a material change. She must reform the morals of her household and the corruptions of her court. E+ partero will doubiless check the sale of offices. and repeal the oppressive measures which have so long irritated the people. His administration in short will resemble that of Ferdinand whea be was compelled to accept the constitution, and before Louis XVIII undertook to help him to ride down his subjects. A valuable lesson may be learnt by the com parison. Ferdinand was at first a tool in the hands of afew ardent democrats; and after- wards a tool in those of the Holy Alliance, which used Spain just as Frence and Austria wished. Isabella now falls powerless into the hands of Eepartero. Over hir government, we may feet asrured that the British ambaseador will exer- cise an influence hardly less than that wielded by the French ambassador over the court of Ferdinand, or that used for so many years over the Sublime Porte by the British envoy Lord Stratford. This British influence might be full of danger for us. It would be tbrown into the scale against our views and our interests in reference to Cuba ; and might become aserious obstacle to the accomplishment of projects to which we attach tho greatest importance. I: therefore our present pitiful government has any intention of carrying the national desigas which it received from ita predecessors, no time abould be lost in securing for our Minister at Ma. rid a preponderance equal to that of the Britich envoy. The latter owes his fnfivence to his ski)), hie discretion, and the sagacity of his own government ; the rame qualities would ensure for Mr. Soulg as much consideration. The subject bas not etcaped the attention of the laster, as we have rearon to know that the despatches recently received from Spain refer to the al- tered relations existing between our mitiieter and the new Spanish government; but the mat- ter should not rest here. A little diploma- tic skill might now obtain for us all we re- quire. Besa! and Dramatic Matiers.

That the great vocalists who will be :ectived with tae above described honors are we)l worthy of the compliment we believe; bat this sort of thing has already been overdone, aod al! the sensible people in town would prefer that foreign artists should come here quietly and unos- mss No. 239 the display of their portraits in the windows of the print abops, and their biographies ia the newsps pers; extraordinary displays of enthusiasm on tue part of a portion of the pabli: sometimes occarred after the artist had aopeared, and upon ol ooo sion Fanny Ellesler was deawn from the theatre t» her hotel by a number of excited youths, tue horses having been relieved from their task apd their harnesses, by the devotees of the Jeg-iti mete drama.

The agents for the managers of the art- ists hit upon a novelty. The disturbances ia Ea Tope, ani the growing taste for music in this coun- try,caused New York to be a refage for ming German and Italian musiciens, woo became re-i- Gents, and many cf them good citizens. Previous to the arrival of the great artiat t' eir sympathies and enthusiasm were aroused, and grand sereasdes were given, all of which proved to be good aai cheap aivertising for the first concert, Tais ays. tem was broken up by arow whic: 0 x:urred dariag ‘monster serenade” to the late Countess Rossel; and for Grisi and Mario something new waa considered necessary, and the above named excar. sion ia tre novelty. [hese appear to be the facts in the case, and we do not doubt that all hat has been done or will be hereafter accom- plieked, will be from the purest motives; but we do not see the necessity or the pro- priety of these demonmrations. Why should not Grisi anc Mario be allowed to land here quietly, and without any fuse at all?
