F. HS. Affairs in New Jersey. OUR CAMDEN CORRESPONDENCE: Campgn, N. J., May 28, 1855. Know Nothing Triumphs—Dismay of the Old Hacks— President Making—Commodore Stockton’s Weight—The “Shanghaes’’ and their Policy—Order of U.S. A, A few days sojourn in and about the suburbs of the ity of Camden—a city which occupies pretty much the jeame position in point of contiguity to Philadelphia as | Jersey City does to New York —has enabled me to gather some facta which may be interesting, if not in this jexact locality, to your readers elsewhere. Notwith- standing there are several papers published in Philadel- phia assuming to be newspapers, which circulate pretty Greely on this side of the river, yet the Hznatp is more Sought after, and its contents devoured with more avidi- ty, ¢han any of the journals published hereabout. Tho veason is very obvious, for every one knows it contains the latest, fullest, and more accurate information from all parts of the werld than can be obtained in any parer im Philadelphia. Could you witness the train from yoar @ity arrive at Walnut street wharf, and the newsboys ‘and news agents endeavor to get hold of their respective Dundles of papers first—in an instant afterwards hear them crying “New York Benatp,” & , and behold the erowd rushing around them to obtain the ‘‘vory latest’’ Dews, you would feel gratified. As you are pretty well aware, Camden, im poin'’ of po- Bitieal tenure, is held by the Know Nothings, and the old of SRR a potion Gemaction ts socleds Ae the late aaunicipsl election they made a desperate joint effort to Gefeat the American ticket; every sort of subterfuge was planned, every artifice, every trick, and every poheme which their fertile brains could invent, ware re- sorted to, to throw the balance of power in thew favor. Bat all was of no avail They called to their aid the sorvigners. Yet this did not save them; they fe and, like a giant tree prostrated by a whirlwind, t! ad not agi many circles of politicians, Presldent-making peems to be the order of the day. Not maoy months since, it will be remembered, @ few am- Ditious members of what, in this section, is termed “The Old Guard’’—that is, those who have been faithful ence 1844—met ina back room of an olfice Bet farfrom the Girard Bank, and resolved that they ‘would consummate their political greatness by selecting man for tne Presidency, one on whom they might sibly concentrate their strength, and who would, if elected, be of advantage to them. All the promtnent men of the nation who had ever expressed & sontument 4m favor of Americantn: re duly weighed; bat, un- fortunately for the persons composing this convention, there were none of the men whose characters they ware iscussing, known to the members personally, except Commodore Stockton. He was known to have a pretty bon pager and if that could be made available ha was + man. Millard Fillmore, Tom Corwin and Jobn Clayton were supposed to be a little tinstured with American principles, but not enougn te suit their pur- noses, And as Com, Stockton had presented petitions to Wongress im favor of repealing the maturalization laws ‘the act was considered prima facie. The next thiog to be settled was the manner ia which ‘the Commocore could be approached. He was knowa to be s man of letters, but it would not do for the con. ‘vention, or any member of that conventien, to aldcess him. So, in order to make the thing appear as it there had been no premeditation about it—particularly as the convention was altogether a private aifa'r—is was agreed pon to employ one dir. Boboinet, of Delaware, to attend w that duty, The duty was attenaed to, and the result iaknown. Immediately upon the promulg, of the Commodore's principles, in bis reply to Mr. Bob: the democrats in Camden looked into each other's faces with alarm depicted on every feature—it was a groster shosk to them than an earthquake would bo to the Chilians. The Koow Nothings, however, on the other Hand, winked, smiled, and appeared highly elated. Bright anticipstions shot athwart their political or:zon; the day-star of hope seemed to rise higher brighter, until the whole hemisphere was iila- mined. The first revolution to this political grind. stonc had been made, and innumerable axes, pick-axes, shovels and jack-knives were carried thither fo undergo the rharp*ning process. Thoss who fre- quented the foot of it street, witnessed such in- struments hurried into the staircase at No. 4, and eoon disa, rin a private recess. On their retara some looked a little brighter, and others as though they were obliged to cali again. ‘Thus, matters went on swimmingly for awhile wheo ‘all at once a revulsion took place. The ‘ O11 Guard’ who had com the convention, found that the Commodore could neither be wheedled, conxed, impor ‘tuned, driven, nor forced into any measure which he Gid not believe to be consistent with an American con- Struction of the constitution. Neither did he make them bis exclasive confidents and advisers; he was supposed ‘to have correspondence with Mr. Allen and other pro ni- nent men of New York, and this was considered uafair. It may be that the Commodore acted impradently, sfier hhe had received the assurance of the support of this convention, and, if he has any aspirations for the Prev _— it will be a matter of poticy for him t» heal the ch thne created, that he may atill retaia the friends he will order wise lose.

Annie Laurie te 200 1b, wagon, and bik. g. Indigo, in harness, came off on Tuesday after- noon, The mare won in three straight heats. She is a very showy young mare, six years old, a Hamiltonian, with fine square gait and steady movement, performing the race without s skip or break after the word was given, This was her first appearance, and she made a favorable impression on the spectators. She was driven by Mr. Peabody, Indigo by D. Pfifer. The latter had rather the call in the betting previous to the start; but after the first heat 100 to 20 was offered on the mare without takers. First Heat.—Indigo won the pole, and went off with the lead. The mare oe ge upto him around the turn, and when he reached the quarter pole, she was at his wheel—time, forty-two seconds. Peabody held the mare steady down the backstretch, not the slighteet effort to lead; but he kept Indigo at the top of his speed. Time to the half, 1:23. On the lower turm the mare went up, and swung on the homestretch yoked. Indigo was urged to his utmost by Pifer, with- out avail—the mare had too much foot; and she came home a winner by three lengths, um 2:45. Second Heat—The mare went off with the lead this time and was never headed. She passed the quarter in forty-three seconds—the half in 1:24, came in am easy winner, in 2:50, Third Heat.—Same as second. Time, 2:51, MASSACHUSEITS.

As the Hzratp is the generally accredited exponent of the ‘doctrines and doings” of the American party, aad its columns eagerly consulted for the authentic details, permit me the occupancy of a brief space for s candid and impartial review of the ex parte strictures of ‘‘Fideli- ter,” the correspondent ef the Rechester Democrat, whese communication was eo approvingly copied in and endorsed by the Times of ‘the little villain,’ on yester- day. Premising that your correspondent, previously to his cennecton with the Americam party, was a Simon pare whig, and of the astraitest sect of that echeol of pie bald politicians, and that his position subsequently nas been such as postively to make him am eye witness to the things whereof he is about te testify, his testimony, by those at least whe are privy to the record, will be re- ceived as authoritative almost as if the signatures of the grand officials were severally appended thereto. Passing by those portions of his commuai- cation having direct allusion te the doings of the Syracuse Convention, a sort of a “Jerry rescue” admixture of Sewardism and silver grayism, the negro clement predominating, and for which the party could in no honorable and just sense be any wise amenable, we proceed te notice s>me- = length the slaniergus allegations which, at this period, the aforesaid endorsed veracious correapon- dent, in his unmitigated malignity, essays to utter againat the truth and integrity of the American order. A recurrence to the political history of the times, in order to elucidate the true positiam of the order in refe- rence to the late gubernatorial canvass, will constitute the only further direct allusion to the whig party of th® State. Composed then, as now, of two factions, th tipodes of each other in conservative national seati- ment, the Seward faction being, by reason of superior numbers and strategic skill, the dominant faction, the Syracuse Convention, primarily called to advance and mature the political aspirations of G. W. Patterson, Eeq., (the Seward-Weed candidate for gover- nor,) abandoned its first love, and began ostensidly a coquetry with M. H. Clarke, who, in sduition to ali his negro affinities, being, in fact, a mere Seward reflec: tion, it was whispered around, was an orthodox m ber of the great family of the mysterious ‘Sam’ rogeny, because of ita untold numoers, just then gre ly teared—the new alliance was consummated, and Clark was elevated upon the ruins of Pattersoa—furnish- ing axother memorable instance of marriage upon first sight, and allowing both the high contracting parties “ample leisure for repentance.’ That the Americ party was not and could not be committed to Clark b cause of his supposed connection with that party, or of the binding force of any obligatioas which tnat con- vention may have imposed upoa the members of the order who had been returned by the whig party as members thereof, is too palpable to be controverted by ‘any one cognizant of its ovjects and aims, and the real relation which he sustaimed towards it. A great conser- vative and mational party as it is, thoroughiy intolerant of all sectionalisms, the unfaltering friend of the Union, and SH ees conservator of the rights of all the States, it could bave no supposed or real affinities witn aboli- tionism in any of its phases or aspects, and whilst it re- Puwiiated the treason, would never otherwise than ha’ the traitor. ’Sis true Clark professed to belong to t American party, and upon that ground his newly made Alvany friends mainly urged the propriety of his nomina- tion, “But how? Had he been regularly introduced, or was he surreptitiously smuggled in’ There is tne rub. Had his admission been regular, and were he an honest man, he assuredly had adjured all sectionaliam, and was, therefore, unsuited to the proposed pliant uses of his newly mace and peculiar friends. ‘nat it was not regular, they well knew, Tut they were fully apprised that he and others had inflaenced a late travelliag de puty, whose office had been superseded wholly by the then constitution, to visit Ontario, and there institute Council, where one already existed, and in positive cor travention ¢f law, for the sole purpose of inducting him and them into the order, was a fact too palpable to ha’ escaped their knowledge or observation, Tne whol trnth in the premises is, that a bogus Council w erected just before tne Syracuse Convention, and with the sole view of hoodwinking the order, which fact, when clearly ascertained, s0 operated to the detriment of Clark, apart from his noxious dogmas and doctrines, that the order, en masse, would infinitely have preferred defeat, under any sound and honest man, to the most overwhelming victories under hig rally and banner. ‘The bogus affinities of Clark, made too apparent for contradiction, cetermined the Grand Council a: its coo- vocation at Oda Feulows’ Hall, to erect independent nominstions, and by a vote of 510 to about 90 refused to endoree any of the nominations made by either of the dominant parties. Bronson and Seymour were not msm- bers of the orcer, and would nvt carry out, in eztenso, ita principles ; and Clark, as before stated, was a coun- terfert. Pending this settlement—for it gave rise to the most animated cebates—the President of the Council, who, it seems, is the especial object of ‘Fideliter’a”’ vita: peration, was not present at the said settlement or the said day’s session, nor in the city, nor did he, ia fact, present himself until the next day, when aothing re- but to determine, by ballot, who were to be the American standard bearers. Previously to the bal- loting, and when it was so apparent that the friencs of Clark, notwithstanding the overwhelming defeat of yea- terday, were etill determined to foist, if practicsble, upon the Council his nomination, a more rigid scruti- ny was directed as to the kimd and character of the credentials presented by some of his pe- culisr friends; and upom the discovery that some of them at least, whilst positively residents of one section of the State had appeared as representatives from another section, and in direct contravention of law. they were expelled sans ceremonie, for ths attempted im- ponlat po doubt much to their personal mortification, and to the great detriment of Clark’s provpecta—at Teast so they affirmed, But, notwithstanding the dreary prorpect, his friends in the Grand Council clung to him with great pertinacity, and one particularly was beld enough to asseverats, maugre the decision, that he would still cling to his fortunes. Ovjections from sides were interposed to prevent his being heard, and mainly on the ground that he was intractible and coi tumacious; but the President overru/ed them all, and he was heard through because of his representative character. ‘The ballot being now on the tapis, the question arose with the tellers as to the propriety of counting the votes contumacious and intractible ones, and du dof the hae ee deviates was made t be counted, referring, very properly, all action upon the subject tothe aacislonet the ‘Notwithstanding the great outcry, the ballot any and Council. exhibited the fact that Clark had n> popularity beyond the mere personal expectations of some twenty office- seekers in the event of his election. ‘Tis trae, some of his friends withdrew voluntarily, others not so willing], and ’tis remarkable that whilst the eral attendance on the deliberations of tne Council waa not lessened more than fifty, the bar attendance in the saloon beneath was increased in about the same ratio or proportion. For temperance men, they were generally good strong drinkers allthe while. But this en passant Before I dismisa the Governor, allow me to commoni- cate a stubborn fact—one strangely illustrative of the chameleon tendencies of this pie-bald wis party. During the whole contest, the name of the ‘ lit*le vil- lain’? never once escaped the lips of any one of his now numerous ‘‘Know Notbing’’ correspondents for efiise. Ford was their man for Lieutenant, if Clark could be fecured. Raymond was not ia their thoughts. ‘A word or two as to deputies, their modes of appoint- mert, &e. Previously tothe adoption ofthe late con- stitution, travelling deputies, whore buafness it was to instal new councils, &c., were appointed oy the Presi- dent; but at his suggestion, ana with thalwiew to eco- nomy and convenience, the constitution vided for county deputies to be'momiaated by ajority of the courcils of the county. Tnis@¥ovisionee the con stitution bas, in no instance, beenxalepar m; and notwithstanding the attempted outcry against the one- man power, the clau: tall operative to the very let- ter. The reason of the suggestion of the Presideat to embody the mode of making appointments in the con- stitution, had its origin, we have learned, in the fact that here certain whigs essayed to control the appoint- ment, and were bold enough to avow the purpose that the order must be made a whig order, &c., and for that object nominated a whig. The President, not being dis- posed to yield to the dictation of two or more office seek- ers, (both sre in office under Clark,) referred the nomi: nation to the councils of the city, and in lieu of the whig, they named # democrat, which appointment be confirmed; and hence the fabrication that he had ap a tacwn inimical to aro &e, The truth, I ‘now, is, that up to this very meeting at Odd Fellows’ Hall,'the President had never appointed any deputy whalever, except in the mode above stated, and the re- cords abundantly attest it; and from my personal know- ge the maa, his general self-possession, and bis calm and dispassionate consideraticn of all the qnostions rans ‘to him, I but avow the current seatimont in he order when I assert the bellet that, previously to the said nominations, he never in person or by deputy committed himself to any man, or to any party. It space permitted, and the privilege were allotted me to ublish letters, which, | presume, are quite accessible, question not tbat living light might be flasned upon the acte and doings of certain Know Nothings that were, which would place the official conduct of the Presi- dent beyond the further cavil of these Albany pasudo cri- tics even, and by the bold reliet which the manly contrast of the unswerving integrity which it presents. forever intercict hap ent fl a of a and fact.

Our Washingten Correspondence, ‘Wasuingros, June 1, 1855, Advices from our Minister to France—The Imprudent Publication of Diplomatic Correspondence—Our Rela. tions with Spain—Spanith Troops for the Crimea— Secretary Davis’ Departure= The Coming Election. Mr. Mason, eur Minister at France, has written a let- ter to a gentleman in Virgin a, in which he says that al- though his health is improving, he has but little expec- tation of ever wholly recovering from his late attack. In speaking of the publicity given by our government to the proceedings of the Ostend Convention, he says it is to be regretted on more grounds than ene—it has weak- ened, throughout Europe, the influence of American re- presentatives, as me confidence can with safety be en- trusted to agents whowe despatches are liable at any moment te be brought befere the world. It is but rea- sonable to suppose that the diplomats of Europe would, as far as possible, avoid intercourse with our ropresen- tatives, when by so doing they save from exposure and mortification their governments and themselves, The frankness that formerly characterized the official inter- views between Mr. Mason and the Minister for Foreign Affairs is ne longer met with; a change has taken place, and is properly attributed to the passion in this coun try for instant publicity of official papers, even at the sacrifice of public interest. Strong professions of re- gard for the United States are of late a frequent occur- rence with the Emperor aad his ministry; but it is noted that our relations with Spain are not aa much as hinted at, and when the subject is, by chance or otherwise, is- troduced concerning Cubs, it elicits from the French g¢- vernment neither replies nor observation. { This significant fact is known to our governmont—with the additional information that if Spaia, by promises and delays, cam hold her own and Cuba fora single year longer, that she may then rely upon aid feom France. Spain is acting up to this counsel most admi- rably; she bas promised settlement of certain matters, and publicly announced the kindly relations existing between herself and the United States. But she allows the time to pass when these settlements ehould assume some other shape besides promises, and claims American indulgence and forbearance, ated. A year can be made way with witbout much difficulty, by such diplomatising, when France, freed from a part of lap difficulties, may make good her promises with Spain, at the sacri- fice of American interest und reputation. Late Spanish papers received show that the expedi- ency of furnishing to the allies twenty thousand men, carpe becoming seriously enter- tained. 1t is reasonable that the furnishing of such an army should obtain from land @ joan of se- venteen millions of dollars, besides securing for Spaim the support of both England and France in the event of difficulties with the United States.

The reasons for this sudden departure could beexplained by the President did he see proper to give them, and would probably be found to have originated in a warm controversy on the propriety of sending back Gov.

The anti-Know Notbings feel sure of a tri- umph, and to make this assurance doubly sure was what induced Mr. Wise to attempt speech laat Satur- day night. It was to have been the severest speech he bad yet made againat Sam, and a contract had b-en en- tered into to publish ten thousand copies of it for cirou- lation. The Know Nothings got wind of this and at once determined to defeat the object of the Virginia Governor and his Washington friends. That they suc- ceeded is pretty generally acknowledged. That blood will be shed in this city on Monday next, is almost everywhere believed; yet the Mayor is making no cifort fo prevent the occurrence taking place, und expresses his disbelief in the general opinion.

CORRESPONDENCE OF THE N&W YORK HERALD. Rio pe Janeino, April 13, 1855, The Commodore of the Brazalian squadron, leaving nearly all bis vessels at the entrance of the river Paraguay, pro- ceeded on the 14th ult., in the steam frigate Amazonas, up to the Villa de Oliva, where he embarked on beard a smalier steamer, the Ypiranza, and arrived at Assump. clon, the capital, on the morning of that day. He was invited to land and have an interview with President Loper, who provided a state coach, drawn by six horses, wherein Commodore Oliveira was driven to the Presiden tial palace. Here he found the Secretary of State to re- ceive him, who conversed and introduced him to P’resi- dent Lopez. Commodore Oliveira’s interview with the President lasted over two hours, and the most happy results are anticipated. All difficulties, it is expected, will be set- tled amicably. From flyixg and printed rumors of war in some South American papers, you msy have anticipated hostilities; but we here, au fait ot the cause and feeling which prompted tbis Brezilian movement, never expscted, on the part of the Empire, ay thing so serious, unless in- deed compelled by any illwill on the part of Lopez.

To the Editors Daily Tribuue. In your journal of this date I notize an inputation on my character, requiring retraction or palliation upon your part. “Ned Buntline’s Own, and the Sachem, were, during their brief exiatence, regarded aa the shining lights of so-cslled Americaniam. Messrs. Jucson, Picton, North, and their associates, held fast to the Order while it was profitable to do so, and only abandoned it when con. vinced that public credulity with reference to them. selves was completely exhausted.” As regarés myself, discarding the incomprehensible allusion to “ public credulity,” I have only to say that 1 joined the Order of United Americans with no eye to pecupiary profit; neither did I, when solicited so to do, accept am opportunity for politica preferment, and as for sbangening te Order, 1 have only to refer to the Arch Gi retary to ‘substantiate the fact of my being a presen; member. The tem ai ion of the Sachem was occa- tioned by my mo Piitneas and lamentable domestic aflliction. it failed, its failure could be readily ac- counted for upon grounds expressed in the following ex tract from the ‘ Life of Horace Gresley,”” (page 170: ‘It was a very good paper, suited oalf to tue moro in telligent class of te community, which, in all times and countries, in a small class. ‘We have a pride,’ said the editor once and truly, ‘in believing that we’ might, at any time, render our journal more attractive to the million by rendering it ies deserving; and that by mero- ly ccnsidering what would be sought after and read with avidity, without regard to its moral or its merit, we might easily becor popular at the mere expense of our own self-approval.’? If the supreme merit of Mr. Greeley alone is given by hin biographer as the cause of the discontinuance of the New Yorker, how much more excusable, on similar grounds, would have beon the failure of The Sachem, whose sheet contained regular contributions by Henry William Herbert, Wm. North, G. G.

Government Buildings im the City—The Cathedral— Pleasant Rides and Drivese—Commercial Progress—The Victoria, Bridge—Hotel Comforts—Yankee Landlord Stock, Having o fow moments to spare, I did net kaow that Tcould better employ my time than in turning corres- pendent to your valuable sheet, which I find is as eagerly sought after in ‘her Majesty's dominions” as it is im the States. This may appear strange to those who have been familiar with your course, and ths plaim man- ner in which your journal has slways spoken in regard te matters on this sid of the line; but nevertheless such is the case. Ido not know that I can throw any new light upon Montrea}, its people or its customs, for they have been pretty thoroughly discussed by those whe have taken notes before me. Yet I must say there is much in and about this city—plain Yankee as I am in my notions— which strikes me with favor. The public buildings com; up nearer to the standard of what they should be than in generally the case in the States. The post office, the custom house, the markets, and the banks, are all mas- sive and elegant stone buildings, which are an ormamsn to the city, and speak well for the public spirit and en- terprise of the business me: ‘The Cathedral is one of and it is not to be wondered overlooks the whole city, and is plainly observable from eve It has two immense towers, the west one of which is ascenaed by a flight of 300 steps, and from the top of which the country for thirty miles round is inly discernable. This building in prodably the largest ee ee as it will aceommodate fifteea thou- sand persons. To the traveller in pursuit of pleasure there is no place where a few days can be more pleasantly spent than iu Montreal, A visit to the diferent nunneries—a drive around the mountain, oue of the most delightful rides in the world—e visit to the public buildings and to the many fine gardens—furnish a round of pleasure and @ variety and interest that cannot be found at any other . This fact is beginning to be pretty well under- stood, as we find that with the return of every season is brought a larger influx of strangers. Many, I find, have an impression that this city has lost its pristine vigor, and is no longer marked by that enterprise which formerly distinguished i¢ in a commer. cial point of view. Thisia not so. It has kept moving ateacily forward, not perhaps in the giant strides which bave terized some portions of Canada Went, but, nevertheles, ina ‘slow but ure’? progress, which well calculated to give permanence and strength to its | business and rave it from the severe revulsions which are always sure to follow » more rapid and leas solid basis i upon which to found its operations. ‘No one who visits Montreal, and takes the trouble to note the march of improvement which is everywhere observable, can doubt the truth of the remark that its Progress is'stilicnward, And when the Victoria Bridge, now in the course of construction, and which, it is esti- mated, will cost seven and a half’ millions of dollars, is finished, the busine creased, by the qgening of a large extent of country which is now the most of the year shut off by their in- ability to cross the river But enough of this. I did not intend to speak p ticularly ef the business, but of the beanty of the city, when 1 commenced this letter. You will pardon the Gigression, and I will speak of it more fully heveatter. he first aud most important point to those who ure fond of travelling—and who is not’—ia good hotel.
