Evvultation of the Temperance People—Election of the Maine Law Candidate for Governor——Great Doubts Whether the Whig Party Will Jigm the | Prohibitory Liquor Bill—A Maj Three | Bumndred Thousand Against such a Law~—Hie- tory of Proceedings inthe Last Legislature, §c. The constantly intemperate fanaties and zealote those who controlled at Saratoga, Syracuse and Avbara, during the early part of autumn—are voci- fornting with distended lunge, and exulting with intuxicating hallucination im commemoration of the election of Myrom H. Clark as the next Governor of the Btate of New York. Their joy is stimulated by | ‘the fact that Mr, Clark im the Senate, daring the Jest | tnree sessions of the Legislature, was s promineat | icader, and last year introduced in the Senste the Maine Law Prohibitory Liquor bill, which was so | ‘promptly and se righteously vetoed by Gov. Sey: | moar. Theso fanatics feel aasured that the same | Benate that passed the bill last seesion will re-adopt | it the ensuing session; amd they also exultingly boast of baving secured a majority in the next House of Assembly, whe will willingly and expedi- tiously feist upon the people the obnoxieus, intole- | rant and oppreasive bill which has been the subject | of discussion amon’ peopte during the last eight | snonths. It is now expected by its opponents, and demanded by its friends, that at the ea:liest practi- cable moment that bill will be enacted and p'aced | om file among the statutes of the State. fue leaders of the whig party, baving been over- svle@ aud beaten in their choice for a candidate for Governor by thes fanatical pretended temperance orators in thelr ranks, were reluctantly forced'‘In:o | a iosne. Myron H. Clark was mot the candidate | {the whig party proper. No exertion was made to | cure his election; but,om the contrary, he wis periy and deliberately traded off for Seward men- ©s of the Assembly. Of this fact Mr. Clark is uly aware, though he will never likely “ screw up is courage” saffictently belligerent to utter a sylla- ‘be about it, knowing that the least opposition to the regency would draw upon his head the same a cgoance from the same power which undertook 4o demolish the late ex-Governer Young. And now that the whig party is fully and irre- qooubly pledged to enact the bill which failed te bs a6 @ law last year—and having large majorities s voth branches of the Legislature, and a Governor «<‘cots@ upom that iasne, and none other—the in- yeiry is im every mind, Will they pass the bill? “he identical bill of last year is the one demanded vy te temperance mem whe gave the whigs the | Governor and the Legislature. They will allow no modification in apy of its stringent features. They | «tend drm upon the clauses which direct that a man’s house may be searched—that any liquor found sthereim shall be confiscated—that the delivery of liquor, whether sold or not, shall subject the a:- cused to fine and imprisonment—to seize casks containing liquor in a vessel or stored in a custom house—compelling parties to witnesse! pe meee themselves — disqualifying thousands of our best citizens from serving pe: bp all Petneeat abi Ci p:ovisions equally stringent, unreasonable, unjust, tna contrary to all standard of right in. this coun’ try.

The true course is, to put the Seward coves on the \datone, com ing them to vote Dill before going into caucus for Senator. Think of this, all ye teto- tallers and probibitionists. The temperance fanatica claim the election as a victory for the Maine law. But look at the facts. There were four candidates in the field for Governor, ue of bona nae upon the principle of his veto.

New Hampshire Politics—Successful Spread of | Know Nothingism—Eminent Men of the Order— Mr. Burke—Mr. Wells—Post Ofice Espionage, Se., $e. ‘When the Legislature of this State adjourned in Jaly last, it seemed that the ground had been cleared for a grand combat between the friends of the ad- ministration and its many-lived foes—the latter bid- ding fair to unite for the defeat of men in despising | and hating whom they heartily agreed. It is won- | derfal how easy it is for men to combine who have | common hatred, no matter how widely they may differ in principle. The friends of the administra- | tion accepted the issue that had been informally | tendered them by the opposition, and it looked as if we were about to have a regular plain, open, mat- ter-of-fact contest, with the two national Senator | ships for the prizes of the victors. Every incident | subsequent tothe adjournment of the Legislature was calculate@ to strengthen this impression, and it was not until three months after that event that symptoms ef a new political movement began to manifest themselves, in too decided a manner to ad- mit of being longer mistaken. I allude to Know Nothingiem—that phase in our political affairs which bids fair to crush all other par ties whatsoever. For some reason or other, the early attem)ts to get up a Know Nothing movement in | this State met with nosuccess.. Perhaps they were not properly planned; perhaps not properly execat- €d; perhaps it was thought better to rely upon the apti-Nebrasks sentiment to effect the overthrow o the administration party. Be that as it may, it was not until some time after the Know Nothing pavty had made iteeif felt in Maine, and was marching to assured victory in Massachasetts, that it began to take root in our political soil. Men had laughed a; |“ the first movements of its triends, and were not dis | posed to be very grave over those that followed, but which were destined to be fruitful. There wae evinced @ disposition, in some quarters, to prevent Know Nothing speakers from being head; but the people took care to prevent the administration’s friends from destroying freedom of speech, which they were ready enough to attempt, not only for the purpose of preventing the increase of Know No- things, but,im the hope of intimidating the free dem: } crate, the Burke party, and their opponents generally. got ADS end assuch » you can form | of members iz Manchester is upwards of 1,600, em- bracing men of ali ies, a deal of character and talent.

It may be well to remark that | your readers im this section acknowledge the gene. ral correctness of your Wisconsin advices, and of course take an interest in seeing their own politics posted in the distance. The Tribune scarcely ever gives an item of Wisconsin political news but what is so full of blunders that it gives no idea of things | that approximate to correctness. AsI before wrote you the fusion between the | whige and free sollers was very complete, and their number was swelled by thousands of democrats dis- gusted with the shiftiess impotence and vulgar treachery of the Pierce administration. The follow- ing was the result upon Congressmen, as shown by the complete and official retarns :— 1st Dist.—Daniel Wells, Jr., (dem.)......... 8,454 ‘Wyman Spooner, (republican).... 7,057 Wells’ majority... . . 1,897 - 6,311 2d Dist.—Otis nee (dem. i 1 Cadwallader C.Washburn, (repub.) 10,350 Washburn’s majority... . 3a Diat —Jobn B. ee E dem.). 7,384 Charles Bil! arst, (republican)..11,287 Harvey B.furner,(ind. Pierce dem.) 1,717 Billinghurst over Macy . 3,903 Billinghurst over all... vee 2,186 You will see that the democrats are badly beaten in every district except the Ist. In that district Mr. Wells sesured bis election by personal “ circula- tion” among the people, travelling from one tavera, village or four corners to another, and canvassing the whole grourd. To use his own significant ex- pression, he went “about as far in a day as 8 man would who was peddlin’ tin.” He assured the voters personally that he was opposed to the Pierce administration—that he would vote to repeal the Kansas-Nebraska act—that he would vote to repeal the Fugitive Slave law—that he was in favor of harbor and river improvements. He issued a cir cular to the same effect but a few days before sleo- tion, cutting himself entirely loose from the Pierce and Post Office clique. Anti-Plerce democrats were satiefied with this, and went in for him. In the Second distriet the democratic defeat is everwhelming. The causes of this are easily ex- plained. Washourn is a brother of the Maine and Illinois Washburns. He isa clever, good-natured, pompous man, of limited abilities, but free and open address. He isa banker at Mineral Point. He was supported by all the strength of Bem. C. Eastman, the old member, who was ruled out of the demo- cratic convention, and took this method to revenge himeelf. Ben. was anxious for the “fusion” nomi- nation himself, or that the fusionists should make no nomination, leaving him to take the stump. But they were afraid to trust him, and left Ben. out any sad tas iey om fo geeeae spite, which he did by Ter g the democratic nominee.

SUBSTANCE OF ATCHISON, ON MONDAY, NOY. 6, 1854, (From the Platte (Mo.) Argus.) Gen. Atchison said that last summer one year be he of Clay THE REMARKS MADE BY SENATOR had _ maaan of a ang county u; e absorbin; of what wen! then called % his fellow-citizens for any bill to effect the organisation of s government for that Territory, unless the Missouri compromise should be repealed. This position was taken by him in speeches made in Platte, Bue ‘Jackson aad other counties; and for the sentiments then expressed, it would be re- membered, he was soundly abused by the whole free soil Prete of the State, At the beginning of the last session of Congress he consulted and advii men, both from the North and the South, upon the sub- ject) and particularly with Judge Douglas, who bad j and whom he expected te be, Chairman of the Committee on Territories. To that committee all terri- torial bills are referred, and by it all such bills aro re- ported, Douglas was of opinion that justice required the re- peal of the Inw of 1820; that the principles of the terri- torial bills of 1850, commonly called the compromise measures of that yetr, required it; that the question of slavery, of right, te the people of the territe- ries who were to be effected by it, and to none others, He was known to be in favor of non-intervention by Congress upon this subject, and_re} & bill in ac cordance with that principle. For that bill General At chison said he voted, and it as supported by the whol South with but afew exceptions, and by a large portion of the Northern y, and is now the law of the land. The free soil press of this and other States have attempted to manufacture something detrimental to | he had made Judge Douglas, out of some remarks that m at Atchison City 2 few weeks since, in conasction with this subject. ‘The report of those remarks was in some respects inaccurate, but not intentionally so, as he has now good reason to believe; even as reported, they have been vilely perverted for the purpose aforesaid. It had been said that he dictated to Douglas the repoal of ‘the slavery restriction, Nothing could be more false. Judge Douglas, be said, was not a man to suffer dictation from any quarter. That bill was dictated by his(Douglas’s) own judgment, his sense of justice and his patriotism, car- ried through by his energy and eloquence, sustained by the South and the democracy of the North. For this he has been denounced by the abolition and free soil press of the whole Union. Not one of them, it is sald, dare publish the bill, for the bill itself would answer their slanders and falsehoods, Not one of them, he presumed, | had ever published one of Douglas’s, or any other speech, in advocacy of the bill; but he wou!d venture to may that nine tenths of the papers and demagogues who now denounce Dongias and the bill have been in the habit of denouncing him for the last ten years. He will | survive it all, and come off, as heretofore, victorious. | Tt had been said that it was his (Atchison’s) object to | “kill off? Douglas, as the South had no further use for him. This is a falsehood on its face, What! kill off one of the chiefs of class of mon in the Northern States to whom the South alone can look for justice and the preservation of thelr Yeonstitutional rights and the equality of the States? If he desired s dissolution of the Union, the most speedy way to bring it about would be to ill off such men as Douglas, Dodge, Bright, Cass and others who think and act with them. To sustain such men in the North is to sustain the constitution and the Union. The “ vert prt fal are alike resorted to by them. In the city of Chicago, the place of his (Douglas’s) resider they refused to hear him. Mon who are for the re of « bill they have never read. men who are for the re- peal of the Fugitive Slave law; who declare against the admission of any slave State into the Union; who declare for the abolition of slevery in the District of Columbia, and whose object is to abolish the slave trade between the States, are the men who band toguther to gag Judge Douglas, ‘These are the men who have allies in a por- tion of the press of ‘Missouri, and this portion of the - | an also a with many gentle- | ie gaze FE and abuse heaped upon upon himself, he cared but little. It was the fate of better men. But day of reckoning would come. There will be s reaction in the Northern States.

Pennsylvania State Central Committee. A meeting of the Democratic State Central Committee will be held at the Merchents’ Hotel, Philadelphia, on Tuesday, the 26th of December, 1854, at 4 o’closk P.M. The ch: am has received various letters from pro- minent and influential citizens of the State, a a desire to have a State Convention, for the purpose of | re-organizing the democratic party on a more permanent Dasis, consolidating it against the secret and insidious assaults that have for a time impsired its usefulness | and efficiency in owrrying out our cherished principles, | and to render it impregnable in the future against the approaches of the various and dangerous isms, vagaries and headlong passions of the day. Aa the tutional, | traly conservative, historical and patriotic arty of the | country, the democracy have a great mission to fulfil, and must not enw recreant in a period of adversity to the high trust confided to their care, The friends of Uberty, of the rignts of men, wherever they may have been born, of religions toleration, and the opponents of a connection between Church State, corrupt, mere- tricious and wanton as such connection has always roved to be, the opponents of all religious tests in de- | termining the rights of citizens or their qualifications for office or public trust, among those who have hereto- fore differed with us on minor points, are now ready and | anxious to co-operate with the democratic party at the | first favorable Pincay tacan in maintaining the integrity | of the constitution formed by the patriots of the revolu- tion—the fathers of the republic. It is deemed advisable that the contemplated State Convention be called solely for the purposes already named, so that its action be not embarrassed by any other business; and that it should be composed of the most tried, steadfast, enlightened and influential men in our ranks, that its voice in favor of the it fundamen- tal principles of the democratic creed a] speak with authoriig, and inspire confidence and respect among all classes of our people. It is thought also that a tical calm is th per time to begin this great work. In this way we will show our love for the great principles we maintain, by assem- bling when there is not a scramble for place and power, but at a time when the public mind is not excited ani election—when our own councils will not be Dy rival interests and aspirations. ‘The members of the committee wili therefore a) ate the im; of 2 and it is Doped will tp punctual in Steemiance: at tie tine, aad inted, and that the democratic ‘of the is notice Ay and bileity. give rap . publicity.

Baker Boy and g. ,Tecameeh, came offon Thaukegiving Day, at the course, and, notwithstanding the cold, Gisagreeable state of the weather for sport of the ‘Kind, the race was witnessed by a great many ad- mirers of the tarf. The contest was closely contest- @1 throughout, affording much amusement to the fi ectatora. Previous to the start, Tecumseh was the favorite at nearly two to one; but after the first press, for four or five years, weekly if mot daily, teemed with abuse, falsehood, and vile slanders of ‘him. self, their falsehood only equalled by their malice. All of this he had borne with patience and without reply. The work of answering their lies would be as ‘“‘toilsome and more filthy, than the labor of Hercules in clensing | the stables of Augean.” But upon this subject he sai he had dwelt longer than it deserved. He would now pass to another; the settlement of Kansas—its destiny, and the effect it was to have upon the State of Missouri. The organic law of the territory vests in the people who reside in it the power to form all their munici- pal regulations, They can either admit or exclude Havery: and this ts the only question that material and directly affects our interests. Upon this subject ft would be necessary for him to say one word, if things had been left to their ordinary and natural course, Men heretofore migrated and settled new territories upon this continent, from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean, follow- ing the parallels of latitude,and carryiug,with them thelr habits, customs and institutions. But now new laws are to govern. New lines, new habits, customs and in- stitutions are to be substituted, and that, too, by the force of money and organization. The North is_to be turned to the South, and all the territories of the Unitad States to be abolitionized; colonies are to be planted in all places where slavery ‘and slave institutions can be | best assailed; and Kansas is now a favorite position from whence they can assail Missouri, Arkansas and Texas, Men are boing sent from Massachusetts and elaewhero, beat Baker Boy had the call. Few bets wore made on time, owing to the heaviness of the track, and to the wind, which was blowing a gale during the race. Baker Boy won the stakes; not that he possessed more speed than his adversary, but his steadiness | carried him successfully through, Tecumseh bresk- | ing badly im every heat except the second, which he won handily. First Heat—Tecumseh won the pole, and went off with the lead; but as he reached the upper tarn, he broke up, and fell behind twenty or thirty yards. Beker Boy went to the quarter pole in forty seconds, and to the half mile pole in 1:21.
