New York, Friday, June 15, 1855. ‘The News, ur report of the proceedings of the Know No_ things st Philadelphia yesterday will attract uni versal attention. As was anticipated, upon th» adoption of the msjority report of the platform com- mittee the abolition faction, led by Senator Wilson, polted. Yesterday they organized a separate meet. img, snd promulgated an address to the people, which we publish, We have alluded at length in the editorial columns to the effect this movement will produce. The regular convention, purged of its malcontents, proceeded with their business, and @isoussed the modifications to the ritual. A propo- sition to admit American Catholics to feliowship ereated a warm debate, and was finally defeated by alerge msjority. A motien directing theSecretary to publish the proceedings and platform in news- pepere friendly to the cause, was adopted, aud an address was ordered to be prepared and circulated. ‘The greatest harmony cheracterized the proveed- ‘imge thrcughout the day. The New York Know Nothing delegation have published a call fora grand mass meeting in the Park on Mondsy evening next. Judge Cone, Al- bert Pike, and other prominent members of the Order, are advertised to be present.

The Ccmmittee of Arrangements appointed by the Democratic Republican General Committee to make arrangements for holding a grand mass mset- ing of the national democracy, met yesterday atter- noon at No. 25 Coambers street; but, without trans- acting any business, they adjourned till three @ clock in the afterncon cf Saturday next. The Sachems cf Tammaoy Society met in the Old Wigman lest evening, when @ comm'ttee was appointed with instructions to report a proper or Ger of arrangements for the due celebration of the Fourth of July. We have advices from the Rio Grande to the 10th imat. The outbreak, of whi h we published a brief account on Sunday, resulted in the capture of Monterey by the revolutionists on the 27th ult. Some seventy officers—rather a large complement, we should ssy—twenty-six pieces of cannon, with other munitions of war, were captured. Caravajal is up again, and had encountered the government forces, but the result we have not learned. Santa Anna has his hands full, between the revolutionista im the eouth end in the north, with the ubfquitous Coraysjal Sighting on his own hook. We bave received files of the Havans journals up to the 3d inst., but they do not contain a line of imtelligemce which could prove of the slightest imterest to our readers. All apprehensions of a fili. ‘ester descent on the island of Cuba seem to have entirely passed away, and political and other mat- The proceedings of the great National. Know Nothing or American Party Council, which took place yesterday in Philadelpbia, will attract, in @ most especial manner, the attention of the public. On the slavery question, as might have been naturally empected, there has been a de- cided split. The platform reported by the com- mittee, which received a msjority late on Wed- nesday night, has keen publicly repudiated by many ot the Nerthern States, headed by Mas- eachusetts, in a series of separate resolutions, pasted in a special meeting, and addressed to the people of the United States. We refer our readers for the curious particulars to the report in another column. This result has been generally antici- pated. But instead of this split being a disaster to the Know Nothings, we are inclined to think that it will constitate a stronger ground for them to acquire further victory and power over the old parties in the separate States. It was idle to suppose, in the present, state of excited feeling between the North and South on slavery, caused by the Pierce administration, that any common ground of agreement could be found for the construc- tion of a national platform other than epposi- tion to that imbecile administration. They were compelled to agree to disagree on slavery. This will give the Know Wothings the vantage ground in future contests, both North and South, each in their own State. They will now fall back, each State on its own passions, princi- ples, prejudices and humbugs, either on sla. very or anti-slavery, and thus have a better chance to carry the elections of this year than they otherwise could have done. Io nine or twelve months they will be able to call another National Council or Convention, simply for the nomination of President and Vice President, and we venture to say that on that single plank—involving simply eighty millions of spoils per annum—there will be no eplit—no division—no flare-up. © We rather think, therefore, judging of these matters in a practical way, that the Know No- things as a party will now become in each State the most formidable of any other in the field. Take, for instance, the Know Nothings of New York. The course of the Northern and Southern men relieves them from all compro- mises to Southern sentiment, and they can go that wili de-tion next fall on any platform most votes, without regard fo “sist carries the slavery. We verily believe that by the droll result or split of the Council in Philadelphia, both the Seward party and the Frank Pierce party are completely caught-in atrap. The several Know Nothing State organizations over the Union will never be abandoned till after the Presidentisl election of 1856, and for that single contest they can bring already nearly 1,500,000 absolute voters into the fiekl, besides the volunteers they may pick up by the way, M. Soutr.—M. Soulé has recently passed through New York, in bad temper, it is said, with the administration, and quite as resolved as before to gibbet them in bis book. I+ does not appear that the blandishments of the organ or the flattery of the President have had much effect in soothing the wounded pride of the ex- Minister to Spain; and those who said that Soulé was a vain Frenchman who would easily be caught with a few promises and polite speeches seem to have mistaken their man. It appears likely that the President will be exhibited in # more amusing than pleasant light in this book of the ex-Minister’s. Rumor hath it, that when Soulé disobeyed Marcy’s instrac- tions, and refused to follow the administration not at all surprising, as the last thing we heard of them was their concurring in a scheme, proposed by the Mayor, to buy Neal Dow’s liquor for the city grogehop. They seem, in fact, to be a pleasant, accommodating set gene- rally. The message states that the riot “was forereen”’ ; that for some time befers it broke out “numbers of excited persons were assem- bled round the City Hall”; that the police “armed themselves with revelvers and pre- pared to defend the place te the last extremi- ty”; that “the mob collected in great force, and exhibited every symptom of savage fero- city”; that the first Captain applied to fer assistance declined to “expose his company to the fury of the mob without cartridges”; that “daring the whole time were heard the fero- cious sounds of the mob”; that the Sheriff, when he went out, was assailed “by jeers and savage brawls”; that the Mayor was met by “ groans, howls and showers of stones;”” that after warning, the “shower ef missiles continaed as before with every expression of rage”; that ‘the roar of the mob, with the rattle and crash of missiles and the occasional volleys of pistol shots from the police came up in mingled confusion” ; that ‘the police could not hold out five minutes longer, but would fall o sacrifice to the fary of the mob”; that “the voice of the infuri- ated mob drowned every other sound”; that the mob was “the most determined and ferocions ever seen in the city”; that “if that infariated mob had accomplished their first ob- ject, they would have become mad, and God knows how far their passions would have car- ried them”; and so on. For the love of tem- perance, good Neo Dow, of what city or den of wickedness have you written such things? Is it of a village in Ashantee, or a South Sea can- nibalisland? Do they refer to a scene in the Jacquerie, or a conflict between the Impzrial- ists and the Triads in some barbarous nook of China? It cannot. be that the “ infuriated,” “ferocious” “raging mob” here described, which was 20 nearly exterminating the police, ang going mad afterwards, was nothing more than the citizens of the quiet, orderly, peaceable little city of Portland. Yet so it seems. The people of Portland, who have never been mentioned in the news- papers, save for their hospitality to strangers and the vigorous attempts they are making to promote the,trade of the State, became, on the occasion referred to, a crowd which so calm a man as Neal Dow characterises with these epi- thets. Men whom hitherto nothing has ever stirred but a desire to show sttention to visiters and to extend their commercial inter- course with the world, acted, according to Neal Dow, more like savages than civilized men. We do not vouch, be it remembered, for their having acted thus, but Neal Dow says they did, and that suffices for the present. wiWhat thgn are we to think of the cause character of the pedjne a transformation in the which according to Neal Dow cdu‘ha measure from peaceable, law-fearing citizens into an in- furiated bloodthirsty mob? What ehall we say of the Prohibitory law when these are its fruits ? All communities are liable to become reck- Jess, excitable and turbulent. They do so when oppression goads them to resistance. During the height of the Revolution, excesses were committed by the whigs as well as the tories, of which few historians care to boast, and which would have been inexcusable had they been perpetrated in cold blood. The cause was ob- vious: oppression had goaded the people tofury, and they broke loose from all restraint. The fact, to the thinking mind, is pregnant with the principle that such oppression as that attempted by the tories and the King cannot be practised on men bred to liberty. This riot at Portland is a perfectly parallel case. According to Neal Dow’s own showing, the mob was driven to a pitch of frensy which frighten:d him out of his wits: this is the parallel fact ; and the perallel principle follows, namely, that a law such as that attempted to be enforced by Neal Dow and his associates cannot be carried into effict among a free people. It is one of the principal ébut iu at- tractions.

The consequence was a general revolt amongst artists, chorus singers and orchestra.

About 18,000 bushels corm, and 400 bales of cotton, were engaged for Liverpool, at rates stated in another column. Forner’s Inza or Hovor.—Col. Forney, the present President of the United States, has got his man Pierce to say in his paper (the Wash- ington Union) that there is no harm in writing letter to a friend asking him to play stool- pigeon for the purpose of extracting evidence to be used in court against an innocent woman. Opinions differ. Forney’s man Pierce has a Tight to hie. But he blunders in his attempt to meke it good. He should not say Forney thonght he was acting for the best when he tried to maie Roberts play stool-pigeon; for that is sheer nonsense, and every murderer, pickpocket and houseburner may say the same, He should soy boldly that the stool pigeon game is honoxsble and unexceptionable, and that Mr. President Forney has brought it to a perfection “which reflects the highest credit on hie abilities and dcee honor to the circle with which he bas been “onnected. Pierce sunt Lruth ope from bluster to whine, he was fally sustained by private letters ofthe President. Mr. Pierce, it would seem, has been under the delusion that he had a mind of his own; and though he was, or ought to have been convinced of the con- trary every time he met Mr. Marcy and was crushed and moulded by the iron hand of that veteran politician, he still fostered the rash belief by correspending privately with the fo- reign Ministers. In this way, it is said, he wrote to Soulé approving all he had done, and ex- pressing hie opinion ot Marcy in language more forcible than elegant or Christianlike. There will be some funny disclosures when that book appears. Tue Frencn InpvsrrraL Exnrerriox.—From what we can glean from the French and Eng- lich journals, the Paris Exhibition seems likely to prove as great an abortion as that of New York, Al.hough the architectural details and interior decorations of the building are as per- fect as the acknowledged taste of the French in these respects can make them, the real objects of its erection seem to have been very imper- fectly carried out. There is a lamentable in- completeness observable in almost all the de- partments—but more especialy in that of the United States. It would seem from the indiffer- ence manifested by our manufacturers towards these exhibitions, that they are satisfied with the field for their exertions which they find in their own country, without seeking to extend it abroad. Even the French themselves do not seem to have entered into the scheme with that enterprise and ardor which they employed in the London and New York exhibitions. The de- mands which the war is making upon their sinking resources have Probably taken from them, for the present, all inclination to indulge in these industrial contests, which ere too costly to bear frequent repetition, They may serve to give popularity to their promoters, but the manufacturers say they don’t pay. Tue Bark Macnoiia.—There seems to be a good deal of mystification connected with the bark Magnolia, which has been recently cap- tured and carried into Mobile on suspicion of forming part of & certain filibustering expe- dition. It has been thought that Col. Kinney knew ail about her, and that she was desigaed to aid in a deseent on Nicoragua. This is not 80: She belonged not to Col. Kinney, but to the Cuban Junta, and the warlike stores found On board of her were destined for “the evor faith"u) dele,” nistic interests must arise, and that a time may come when the one which has the majority may legislate oppressively for the others. This The country and the towns have opposite ia- terests; the country insists on prohibition, and tries to force it on the towns; having the ma- jority of votes, it can pass laws, but when they come to be executed, mobs and riots like thet of Portland. intervene, and supply what is wanting in justice in the legislative organize- tion of the State. Force is not always right; but it often is, and this seems to be one of the cases in which this can be said of it. On other sides besides Portland, we sce evi- dence that the Prohibitory delusion has passed the climax, and is on the decline. In the State of Iinois, the law has been referred to the people and has been defeated by a large m2- jority. In this State, there is a set purpose on the part of the public generally, to defeat and nullify it. Even the friends of temperance are shocked at the scandalous proceedings of the Carson League and are ready to lend o hand to prevent the execution of the law. It seems quite certain that it will meet with no favor in the courte ; and more than probable that any serious attempt on the part of the army of epies, informers and vagabonds who have been engaged by the Carson League to enforce it in this city would lead to scenes compared to which the riot at Portland is a mere pastime. We shall see when July comes; meanwhile, the temperance men are losing heart everywhere, and Neal Dow, as we learn from the telegraph, has a hard time of it in the birthplace of the Maine Liquor law. Suavery Men at Home.—It is wonderful to note the difference which locality makes in men’s sentimente. When a free soiler is at Boston, he breathes nothing short of war against every slaveowner; when a Southron gets pretty far down South, he talks of slavery as though it were going to overshadow the world, and every abolitionist would ultimately come to the gallows; and yet when these two men meet together at Washington, they find means of agreeing very pleasantly, and ma- age to work side by side without any trouble from their opposite opinions on slavery. Here is the Hon. Howell Cobb, for instance, a Geor- gia man, who writes a long letter dated Athens, Ga., intended for perusal In the South on the subject of politics gencrally, Well, Mr. Cobb bag been ig Washington, and trayeiled io trained and most difficult critics in the world has stamped them with their approbation.

I+ 8 astonished, and faints at its own bravery Look at the investment, attack upon and final reduction of that second Sebastopol, Greytown. With what reckless gallantry did the command- er of our navy tell the commander of our sloop- of-war to pitch into the sheds at San Juan and never mind chloroform! No sending wooden thips to knock down stone walls, at Washing- ton. Our Napiers have to contend with no- thing more powerfal than naked negroes and white pine fortifications. They triumph, and the star spangled banner continues to wave as usual. And the administration fainted. Then we were lo have a war with Spa'n Plenty of cause—General Pierce was going in on the precepts of the inaugural—we heard of guns ¢ ouble-shotted--crews beat to quarters — ships putin fighting trim—all the officers on as one of the most effective in curing chronis diseases in thie part of the country.
