10 NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, JUNE ll, 1856. THE PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN. GRAND DEMOCRATIC DEMONSTRATION IN PHILADELPHIA. Speeches of General Cass, Senator Douglas and Howell Cobb, co. aa. Xe, Pmavenrura, June 10, 1856, There was an immense assemblage in Indepsndeace square this evening, for the purpose of ratifying the no- minations of the Cincinosti Comvention. Procsasions merched into the square from all quarters of the city. ‘Two stands were erected for the speakers. Salutes were occasionally fired from « small cannon, Mayor Vavx presided, and opened the proceedings with 4 few appropriate remarks. He concluded by introducing General Cass, who was warmly received, and addressed ‘the meeting as follows: — MR. CASS’ SPEECH. Fanow Cirizexs—I am here anong you te night to bear my testimony to the importance of the question » bout to be submitted to tais confederated repubiic. The peaceable election of a chief magistrate by twenty-five miliions of peopie it always a trying duty for them, and an interesting spectacle ivr the otber natious of Christen com, It is a grous power—this power to choose a na- tional ruler, and glorious has been its operation, as weil for the prosperity of our couatry and the stability of our insti/ution® as for the ensoureg-ment of atruggliog free. dom throughout the world. Bat circumstances give to the a) hing quadrennial exercise of this power a charaster ot grave, I bad almost said, tearful responst- bility, which i: bas never before assumed. We have ‘fallen upon evil times. In tae ex] language of Seripvure, “We waxed fat,” ana prosperity ie bringing its trinute of presumption, and Cissatisfaction, and arrogant dictanon. Ringe the memoreble day, in this very aq when that grast deed of locepentence was done ‘will make this spot immorts), there bas been no day fraught with more serious consequences to the destiny of our country than will be that fixed dey of popular cesision in November next, for which we are now preparing, The integrity of the Union, the freecom of rel gion, the right of man to govern himself is ascaile. These are each assailed, with a tenacity and ac’rvity of purpose, aud & boldness Of action, which call for the powerfal interposltion of every tree hearied American whose patriotiem hes net fallen victim to the strange hallusimations of iod of strange things. Little could the men of 7 wid the mea who consecrated, in the hall under whose shacows we are assembled, by words avd deeds, the princip'es of self government and of the rights Of eonecience—li ‘tie cuuld tii-y have chought that before sil of the generation who wi cessed, and approved and participated in their world renowned /abors should have passed away acother wou risea to repudiate their memcry.

Do you not thick that here, or in a Territory, you are capa: ble ot jucgmz and seting for yourselres, without aid or interference ‘rom mediing priticiaos either in Massa- chusett cr elve vbere? Aboil' has Jed captive the heads and hearts of men as poli:ical ambition oirects it, against the comstituiion and the great doctrine of the Rev.lution—the great doctrine of buman nature—thar man hes the mght to govern himsel{—which is ‘an. sact, the whole Kansas act, ard nothing bat the Kan- act. So far as reepects the principles involved in it, and in its preparation, and in the enlightened sup- port be lent 10 it, and to whic its fioal success is geeatly indebted, my friend who here sits beside me (Mr. Devglas, t Stewdily in view thia great controlling erement of ou: tutions, smd made it the very corner stone of the Kansas governmen ; and he would be s rash man—uot werely a Dold our—who upon this holy ground ot freedom, made holy by its avociations, should den; the principle or condemn its practical application.

Ana hor is it fo be checked, but hy the action, promp*, fearless and energetic, ot the democratic party? That party alone stands erect, be'ween the assailants and as- seilec, between the constitution and its perits, Ite rival —and sometimes, tn moments of ex'reme danger to the country, its co .aborer—the whig party, the old fasbioned whig party, is prostrated, broken up, severed into frag- ments, esch disjointed portion seeking new combinativns.

And magnificent, indeed, wil be its destiny if tis not marrec by the wickedness and follies of our cay. This Untor has brovgh* us ioerty, Rooney, power, glory, whatever of political benefita the heart of man cen conceive or desire, ard it ia yet but 1a the infaney of its exisiense. Hold om to it, my friends, e8 1 said some time since in the Semate, hold ‘on to it as the shipwrecked mariner clirgs to the Inst plank when night and the tempest close around him, | have told you ‘bat! came here to bear wy testimony to ‘he impsrtsnce of this great electoral question at the present tiwe. andia all wa cerity haye I done ao.

And these considerations, while they furnish confidence for hope, furnish also motives for energetic action, We shall the contesi—not for the sristory that nverring indications promise uz—dut for the extent of that victory; uot for a majority, but for the pumbers beyoad it. What we weat is a most desisive result, that to the power of the eonstitation the new apministration may add that moral power wich depends on the conviction of public support and co-operation. And all this is within oar reach. If we carry to the work but @ mall portion of the zeai and energy which our Revolutionary patriarchs carried to theirs, when, in yonder butiding, they mutually pledged to esch ovber their lives, fortunes and sacred honor. Nobly did they redeem their pledge. Go ye and follow theirexample. Woils hailing the bright dawn of the rising sun, le? us not forget the # ea-y light of the departing one. ‘Let us do justine to the pestorm- ance of General Pierce, while we do justices to the pro- mise of Mr. Buchanan.

Dovetas of Miiaois, who was next intro- duced, emi FuLow Dewocaats—I have before mee sure guaraates of that triumph which ewaits us at the polls this election. Wher, on any former ozcasion, was ever seen ‘© dense mass of democratic voters aasom- bied to ratify nominations for the Presi¢ency and Vice- Presidency as this vast assemblage, which may be mea- ore rather than counted by thoveanca. It p and heartfalt interest which the peopl» of this country ‘eel in the momentous contest in whish we have just engeged. Never sinee thet memorable con- test of 1800, @hich resulted in the election of the immertal Jefierson, hes there been s time when issues #0 preguamt with gocd or evil to our institu- tions have been ted as in the oue which is now before us. Great questions of fo: poticy and great questions of domestic policy—questioas traught with most intense import are now betore us. In our domestic policy there is s question which involves in its s¢ttle- ment the peace, the perpetuity of this glorious republic. It is simp'ys question whether the principle ot self- corres 3] which all our institytions rest. shall maintained in the States and Territories of this Union, subject only to the limitations of the Constitution of the United States, Cinciuna’: Convention has performed its cuty, honorably, wisely and patriotically upon all the poists presented to them. It bas presented to the country a Platform which commands the hearty approbation of every sound national man in the couutrv, and has pre- sented cancidates for the Presidency and Vice Presidency worthy of the platform on which they stand. Those no- wivations bi deen made, and thet platform bas beeo adopted by ® unapimous vote—recsiving the vote of ‘every delegate of this great apd glorious repud!ic. Shall it héreatter be said that the d+mocratic party is not a national party? What other party ever existed in this country, woich could proclaim its creed by a unaoimous yote—s creed to be construed alike in Pennsylvania and Virginia, in New York and Georgia, im Illinois and Louisisns, in the North and the South, in the Kast and the West, wherever the constitution re'gps, there the democratic creed is one and the came. acreed that can command every democrat, aye every old ine whig who is true t> the princioles of Ciay and Webster. I: is to be renerked, never to be for- gotten, that tn 1650 tbe leacers and champions of the true grit political party—your Ciays and you: Websters, your Casses apd your other patriots of tne democratic party—nnited 12 agreeing upon s common creelin reeptet to this vexed question of ry, which should be common slike to whigs ant to democra's, then that we might quarrel and differ as muc pleared in respect to banks, and tariffs, and public lands, and other questions of expediency, but upom that great vilal question, upon thee fucdsmental prin- ciples which iavoive '! integrity of the con- stitotion sad tability of the Union all pa- triots of ell 6s and sha: of opision would great priuciple of State equslity ver the coastituvoa mount to al’ party conflicts and party differen in 1852, whea the whig party assembled in Cenyertion to present cancidates to the country for the snffrages of the people, they resolved that the princi- ps of the compromise of 1850 should be firmly, steadi- fy acd honestly carried out, When the demooracy serobled at Baltimore and presented a ticket for the sat officer, we passed resolutions to the same eflect. Whigs and democrats agreed on the grea: platform involving the slavery iseue—the quesiion of State rights, and the question of the right of sels government in the Territori After the example of 1852 it became my Cuty, as the organ of the Senate upon that qnestion, to report the Kansas Nebraska bill. ‘Tbe Convention has d by a unanimous yote that the great principles of sovertigoty, endorsed by the stion in 182, and affirmed by 2 were rightly applied in the organiz and Nebraka, I ask, then, what Cemocrat can depart from ‘aith of the ‘parry, as proclaimed at Cincinna'i, wilbout repudiating’ long cherished prineipler, which be, as a member cf the party, bas acvocaied from the time that he came on the stage, and I lock farther, (with emphasis,) woat whig— disciple of the immortal Clay and tbe God-l1 Webnter can depart from the prineipies embraced in the compra- mise measures of 1850, and re asser'ed in the Nebraska Dill, without repudiating principles to which every whiz stooe pledged fo the election of 1852. If s man was an bonest whig then, in order to be consistent now, he must vote for Jsmes Buchanan. It a whig believed that the great compromise measures of 1850 were right ther, he must carry cut the platform ot the Cincinnau Convention now, in orcer to be true to the memory of the great Clay and the great Webster, whose last great act wasto adopt those measures. (Great cheering.) Yet you will fad men who bave proven talse to the whig party with which they once acted, and who have gone into the secre: lodges of Ktow Nothingism, taunting whigs for not fol- lowing them into these cark places. Iask you, cana whig jcin a Know Nothing Order, or connest himself with # black republican party, without repudiating all the pripeiples which the whig party has ai vocated for years? Hence the Cincimuati Convention acted wisely and properly when they asked all men to co-operate with them in their principles, aud to unive in the election of the nominees now, without reference to past political differences. We are told by the allfed enemies, ccmposed of Ddlack republicans, Know Nothings and all other affiliated evie tha: the demo- cratic party are to be condemnei because of our poiicy in segard to the Territory of Kansas. [ ask vou to observe ‘or one moment what has happened in Kansas + Those two Terr!-ories were organized by In Nebra: where there has been no foreign interference, wher: jitionism hss not conduct- ed its operations, to which the Emigran. A d Socie’y did uot extend its efforts, there is nothing but peace and quiet. On the other hand, in Kansas, where the Emi- grant A(d Society attempted to control the people, you fina viowenee snd Ciecord and rebellion agaicst the laws of the isnc, Do not there facts show that tbe princivies ot the Nebraska bil was right’ The only difficulties that bave occurred have arisen trom the ‘act that the opponents of *he measure were de’ermined not to give toe bill # ‘airchence. If you will examine into these facts you will find that the allegations have not one pat- tiele of grourc on whish to s‘and. Our priasiples are the princip.es of tbe constituiion—they are tbe principles of Jaw and order. of peace and qnie:. Our remedy for theex- i-ting ¢vi's in Kansas is, that the constitation we are the 8 of sustains the supremacy of the laws. Our op- cvocates of lawless violence and of rede ainst the constituted autborities of the country. One of the great questions to be now decided 1s, whether the | law aball prevail or whether violence shall triumph, and the decisivn of that question is involved in the election which is scon to take place. In regard to this present election aur enemies are in the habit of asking tne quss- tion, ‘How can James Buchanan stand upon the plat- form which bas been made for us at Cincinnati?” I aek, and Ido {it with emphasis, how can James Buchanan, with bis antecedents, stané on any other platform than tre onemace at Cincinnati. Our opponents have been in the habit of saying that they have made s Douglss piatform acd then put Buchanan on it. I ask you to examine this matter foz a moment, and you will find that James Bu- cbavan and myself occupy identically the same position acd have doze for yeari, on this slavery questios, ia all ite phases. In 1846, when Sr. Wiimo’, of Pennayivania, propoeed the Wiimot proviso, I theo, in the Mouee ot Re- presentatives, proposed, as @ substitute, to extend the Missouri Ine to the Pacific Ocean. You all remember that in Ostober, 1847, James Buchanan wrote his cel eratec ‘‘Harvest Home letter,” cf Berks county, and in that proposed to extend ibat line to the Pacific Osean, a8 the dividing itpe between slavery and freedom, He did not maintain then that the aissourt compromise was founded on sound or wise princip'er; bu firding it on the statute book, ratber than hazard th peace and harmony of the country, he was willing to close the controversy forever by extending it to the Pa- cific rather than to raise secticnal strife, even to carry outa sound principle, Acting on tha: same tneory in August, 1848, 1 proposed in the Senate of the Uaited States a law to extend the Missouri line to the Pacific ocean, in the same sense and with the same naderstand- ing with which it wes criginally adopted. That proposi tion passed the Senate, and was voted down ia ths House of Representatives by Northern men wich free soil aad volition proc ivilies. Had the policy of Mr. Buchanan, in bis “Harvest Home letter,’ then prevailed. the same policy which I advocated in the law of 1848, there would bave been an end of this sec: y ES tiomal controversy forever. Who is ponsidie for the Gefeat of the proposition to extend that line to the Pacific? Certaily uot James Bucnanau—cer‘sialy not Fp ne cot the democratic who were responsible for that were thi They then told us that the Missouri ii coun'ry. an intsmous measure—they seid thet right en the south side of the lire, it wi tbe north side—they raid if it was right to leave ibe people to do as they pleared on the south side of £6 deg. £0 mio., It was right to grant them the seme pri- vilege norh of 6 deg. 20 min,—they said they would agree toany measure but that infamous measure the Mirsouri Compromise. By the defeat of the extension of the Missouri Compremise line in 1848, a4 propored by Mr. Buchansn in bis ‘Harvest Home letter.” snd as pro- posed by myrelf in the Henate of the United States, the country was plunged into that great whirlp20l of dangers, of sectional agitation and sestionsl controversy, which lasted from 1848 to 1850. That controversy was the re- sult of the defeat cf the proporition to extend the Mis. souri Compromise lice as proposed Ys Mr, Baebanan and intrecuced by myself in 1860. The contest had raged to auch a fearful extent that the best men in the Ispd trembled for the fate of the republic. Even the im- mortal Clay, who, after a long life of patriotic pubiic service, bad retirea to the shade of Ashland to prepare himselt for ancther anda happier sphere of existence, there in his retirement heard the muttsringe of the ap- roaching storm—heard angry voices of discord, Breathing sectional hatred sestional strite, until he felt bound to come out from his retirement into the Se- uate of the United States—the ecens of his oat trivmphe ard proudest services—to see if he, by his age, bis exzerierce and bis counsel could not co somethrg to calm the troubled waters and restore peace and quiet to @ distracted coun try. From the moment when Mr. Clay appeared in tke Senate all party strife was hushed. Patriotic feei- irgs subdued factions resistance. Mr. Clay besame the leacer of ail the Union men of the country, He had the great, the immertal Case, whom you have heard to-night for his \ight hand man, and god-like Webs'er for the Jeft, and then there ranged round him ail the patriotic Union men, whiga and democrats, united by a eom- mon object, avimaed by @ common spirit, and that was to restore peace to the country to quell the secticna! strife that abolitioniam and freescilism bad produced, in conse juencs of defeating the proposition of Mr. Buchanan, to extend the Missouri Mine to the Pacific 0 For five long montha, we as- vembled in the coune!i reom each morning, to plan the operations for the dey to head cf faction and tosnporesa ihe combination against the institutions of tne country~and there we arranged step by step the propositions until they resulted in the adop- tion of the measures known as the compromise mearurer, cf 1850, You all remember with what shouts and rejoicings the pacssge of these measures were received throughout the country. You all recol- lect the grea’ meeting you then held here in Philadel. pia, composes cf whigs and democrats, and Ueion men of all parties, who approved of the rettiement which way made by three measures of that vexed question. And now let me remind you, my friends, thet among the proudest productions of that meeting here—in fact the chief ornement of that mee ia the Jetter of James Ba- cbansa to the meeting, cor lating the country upon the raatoratirn of peace by tee catablichment of ths grat principles of tae sompzomiae mossares of 1950, This wa find that Mr. Buchanan wea smong the first to of these measures. He bad been forthe Missouri line, 60 had I. We tried to cerry it out, and were voted dow: peas: in that, we took the next best measure, aud, fo: tunately for the country, tha: msssure was return to the true principles of the constitution of the United Btater, os the great Washington, aud Metison, ani He- milton, and Franklin, aed other asges framed it in thet bal). From 1850—having abandoned ali those patch- work compromises which were outside of the constitu: tion—Jamea Buchensn has stood end un- moveable by there principles, In 1854 it became my uty to report bills to organize Kansas apd Nebraska on ‘the principles laid down in 1860, endorsed by the lrg end endorsed by the democracy—end sanctioned by Mr. Buchanan in his letter to the Philadelphia ratificetion mieeting—ard I brought in the Nebraska bill in tae form that it mow stands upon the statute book. (Cheers ) That bill passed the Senate by a majority of the wig party then in the body; alao by a mejority of the de moeratic Senatore, receiving the vetes of @ msjority of the Southern Senators and of a majority of alt the Nerihern reneicee, 0m yet we are told that the country waa betrared in the jaaaage of that bill, A Vorce,—No such thing. Mr, Dovoras resuming—Bétreyed by whom? Betrayed by « maj of the North—betreyed by a majority of the Scuth— betrayed by the demoeracy—betrayed by a mejority of the whigs—aad that too ia carrying out a aa to which every whig and every demoorat two years previously bad ple’ged nia honor to carry outin goed faith, The fact is, that these old line democrats who stocd tmméveabdle by the princip'es of that bill were trae to their pledge, true to their interest, trae to those im- mortal democratic princip'es whish we all love and cherich, and those whigs too, then and now, stand firmiy and proudly by those same principles embraced tc. the Nebraska bil Siand where Clay stood—where Web- ster stood—-by the principles that were contecrated by the death of Clay and tnthe grave of Webster, (Trementous bcering.) The old line whizs are now asked to abrogate, to sbaccon the ‘aith cf their party. They asked to repudiate the principles of Clay, when yet the grass is bardly grown cvdr bis grave—they are atked to repuii- ate the great constitutional pricciplen of Weboter, while yet bis family are wearing the weeds of mourning, and they are arked to do this in order to join with those wh, notcoly deepiued the whig ieaders, but denounce Washington, and a Jefferson, and a Madison, at ail the great 1 patriot: the pi in conse: quence of their having lived in the Southern iaatesd of the Northern section of the country. It is simply @ proposition to be decided wheth- er wesball be governed by sections! lines or con- # itutional privelpies, Toe policy of the abolitionists is toarray the North egaipst the South—snction ggainst section—vntil civil war and dirunion shall be the conse- quence, 1 ask are you prepared to engage {a such a con- troveesy. Are you prepared to iuvolve your hands ins brother’s bioxd, Vorcns—Never ! Never! Never! Mr. Dovcrae— Did our fathers of the Revolution make any Cistinction between a Northers and@ Sou! army! Voicss—No ! No! Mr, Dovcirs—When they made the constitution was there oxy line crawo between a Noritkera and » Southern siateeman, or between Nortbern and a Southern pa- triot, end are we now, when the cozstitution is assalied, ire whether it has been availed on its Soathera Nortbera border? What mstters it to me if that great icstrument is aarailed, whether it bs upon a point that aileots the rights ot the Sonth or the rights of tne North’ Iv is enough for me to know that that great pal- ladium of Americas liberty hss been rudely touched by a fBorilegious hand. I ask if a forelgn enemy should Jans an army here to invade our country, wowid you stop vo inquize whether the invasion was wade upon the line of the Nertbern Jakes, or upon the Gulf of Mexic>. or upon the Pacific coast ? Would it change your patriotiam, whether it was a Northera or Southern invasion! Voices—No! No! No! Mr. DoveLas—Then, why will you hesi‘ate, when the co ition is infringed, to inquire if the infringement is upen the Southern man’s rights, or upon the Northern man’s rights! Our motto 1s “The constitution as itis— the Union as it was made, as it now is, and as it shall be in the future;”” and these are the principles endorsed in ‘the platform of ihe CincinnaiiConventicn. All men who believe in the integrity of the constitution and the perpe- tuity of the Union are asked to rally under these princi- les, which are esrential to to the preservation of either. Can’any sectional party. animate: with sectional pre. jucices, safely be entrusted with the preservation of this Union! Has any other party slonghed off i's isms, and received reformed, regeneraied and purified principles, which insure the preservation of the Union, like the de- mocratic party? Hagany other party such claims to rationslity ! What other party bas assurance enough to crosa tither the Potomac or Ohio, snd carry their principles foremost on their banners? and yet you are seked to truet = party whose sole aim is distention instead cf combination, hostility instead of fraterrity and disurion instead of union. Now, m! friends, these prineiplea, there issues are ail involved in the present election. Never bad an American so much to pooner tnd soul and inspire his patriotism as in this contest, ® platform that is our” own. essing “ovr” prinetples, cherishing and rustaisiog all “our”? feelings and Cesirea—prinoiples which ensure peace and domestic trarquility at home, and whese policy. if carried out, will commsnd respect and honor abroad—with’ a compact so formed can even calumny itself, with its thousand heads, dare to stain the private character of either? With Bucharan #8 our leacer, and gal'ant yourg Breskenridge cecond in ecmmand, we have a representa*ive which commands the respect cf the entire country. Believe not, that ia au- ineness we can achieve an easy yictory.. Do not be ulied into indifference end isthargy, but remember that cur eremy js an arch friend who bas sown hatred, dis- cord, heresy and sciems among men—brethren without the neme, and creseed in different guises in such separate lccsli‘y—in one plece a uative American “valpg Ameriea by Americans’’—in another a diack re- publican— in another an sboiitionist—and in another an anti-Nebreska man—changing his name and bis colors wherever he gces— but he is the sawe insidious enemy of cemocracy wherever he may be found, and wheteve: (Applause.) I have often ead, sud now repeat, ere Cifferent factions and these factionists sre akin toeacho:her. They will fuse and act together when the time of election comes, Vorcts—That’s 60—That’s co. Mr. Dovcras—Hence we have to fight them as an allied army, ard when we got the cemccracy in a tine with such 6 army toback us, as we have fought the Know Nothirgs and abojitionists, and all the other {sms tn front ot ua, tell you, rake them down—I care not which of them ail. (App! Our object is not cnly to elect our mep, but to bury aboitionism with all its concomitant evils, #0 deep in the gave that there will be no resurrection fer them.

B, SHEPARD, . New York Tcnement Houses, A LOOK THROUGH THE SIXTH WARD—COW BAY TE- NEMENTS—A REPUBLICAN HALL—A FREED NEGRO ON SLAVERY—-ORGAN GRINLERS—A FAST HORSE AND A FAST MAN. The Legisiative Committee, sppointed to investigate into the condition of the tensnt houses of New York, met yesterday at 11 A. M., at the City Inepector’s office, to resume their inspection of New York tenement hourer. Hon. Samuel Brevorst and Hon. A. Duganne of the committee were prevent. Aldermen Briggs and Griffith, of the Alcermen Committee on Public Health, and Councilmen Warner and Whitlock, of the @omwittee on Pub ic Health of the Counci!men, in pursuance of pre- vious arrangements, were in attendance to join the committee in their tours of investigation. Some eonsul. tation tcok place as to the locaiily of the city to select for the day’s visitation. It was finally decided to take the Sixth ward first, as being the wornt section of the city, and st present, from its being the opening of the hot weather, beiog much safer to go through tnan later it the teason. At @ few minutes betore 12 A. M. the Leg’ tive Committee and reprecentatives of the Committees on Poblic Health from the Common Council, uuder the evoort of Br. R. C. Downing, Superintendent of Senatory Inspection, and Mr. Joseph Corning Health Warden of the Sixth ward, proceesed to enter upon their ipapection labors in the Sixth ward. The ab- sence of carriages was complained of by some of the more pbiegmatic of the party. Reconciligtioa to pedestrisn travel, on the present occasion, was effested by the understanding tha" hereafter, when more dia- tant wards were to be locked through, carriages would not be wanuing. The first place visited was the old Baptist cburch in Mulberry street. near the Five Points. Tue edifice is @ rew building, and, with {ts modern Cepbcard tides and gable ends, shows unmis- takable evicensces of antiquity, and a sad descent from the solemn uses to whichi t was originaliy dedicat- ed. The entrance was ferough on alley barely three feet wide, There are one hundred and three families in the bul ding, who pay a monthly rent varying from $8 to $7 for the wretched apartments they are permitted to occu- py. The rooms are of cifferent sizes, but all miserably dark snd damp, and filled with nauseating smells. In ore of the rooms was @ woman half drunk, tottering about with a babe at her breast born, it was stated, only the day previous. The sewer of the building, from not having sufficient capacity to carry of the water, caused anovertiow in the yard and basement, which, in'some placer, reaches the depth of two feet anc over. Fronting the church, and connected with it by a ecvered piszza, were three tenant houses, ofseven stories eaoh, they being built in what was formerly the front yard cf the church. Ip the basements of these buildiags ‘were three rum shops snd a@ drug store. The stories also were cccupied b; ere teil together in Darrow apartments, and paying rents vi from $5 to$7a month. The inmates ot thore buildings, as of the church, were mainly Irish. No. 17 Baxter street was the next locality visited. ‘This place bears conspicuously the sign—‘‘Sixth Ward Republican Ball,” and is somewhat notorious as being one of the builaings visited by a mob and severely at- t 1d in the Sixth ward riot, it being the residence at time of the so called Count Donoboe, who luck- lessly bad encountered the animority of the “ great un- washed’? of this ward. The bui'ding is a four stor structure, and with its wide halls and high frescoed tl. shows iteelt to have been a building, at one time, of more then ordinary pretensions. Its glory now has sadly is long asscciation, can we support the nominees of the Cin- cipnati Convention upon the platform which that body has adop‘ed.”” The following testimonials have already been tendered Mr. Brooks, of Seuth Carolina:—Canes from Columbia, Charleston, Winsboro, Yorkville, Columbus, Ga., Bishop- ville, Newberry, Clinton, and the University of Virginia— in all, nize. The citizena cf Abbeville, 8, C., are about to present him with a gold goblet. The Newark Advertiser, whig, fa in tavor of either McLean or Fremont for the Presidency, but prefers the Judge. It counsels the uni ing of all the opposition ele- ments of party, n orzer to defeat those who have brought this ratiod into its present condition of peril, both abroad and at home. Ata meeting of citizens of Worsester, Mass., on the 7th inst., $4,500 were collected to aid the free settlers in Kan- sas, anda much larger amount was pledged. A large number of men propose to emigrate to Kansas. The Columbus Ohio State Journal (black republican) says, ‘We must put forward a man on whem all the op- ponents of the present corrupt administration can unite, With such a man we cacnot fail to triamph.”’ Col. Benton says the platform of the democrats, lately adopted at Cincinnati, amounts to no hing, and dodges the most disputed point in the Nebraska bill. From Hasti. The brig Henry Guild, from Aux Cay es, arrived yexter- day morning with advices to May 24. Capt.

The President bad declared martial Jaw, and called on all citizens to take up arms against the rebels. Two or three skir- mirhes had taken place, snd thirty of the rebels were taken prisoners.

JoxE 10.—Angelo Coppa vs. Laura Keene—This action was brought to recover for services at the rate of $10 per week, rendered by Madame Clocsa Uoppa, wi'e of plaia- tiff, as a dancer, at Laura Keene’s theatre. The defen- dant is the proprietress of the Varietios theatre, in Broad- way. On the part of plaintiff, Monsieur Monplaiser testi- fied that in December last he was conductor of the ballet 1n defendant’s theatre, and at her request called on plain- 1iff to ex goge his (plaintiff's) wife to dance; that accord- ingly an epgagement was made for three months, at $40 per week anda benefit. The engagement commenced on 26th December ard ,continued two weeks, when it 1s al- leged that deferdant discharged Madame Coppa; that she continued out of employment tillfl9th February, 1856. This suit is brought to recover for that time, viz., five weeks and four days. The plaintif wae examined aS « witness by defence, and corroborated the testimony of Monplaiser. The defendant denies ever making avy such contract, but insists that the witnesses, owing to their imperfect knowlecge of the English lan- guage, mieunderstood her; that only contract made was for two weeks, at the end of which time not only Macame C., but the whole troupe, was discharged; conse- quently her services were not needed. Tbe counsel for cefence cffered to place the defendant on the sland as a ceparted.

Those who could not get focgings in the beds,it was stated, were acecmm< dated with s lying down place on the benches surrounding the dancing salon, This colored gentleman, thus renting and using the lower premices, stated the fact. in addition to the above, that he formerly was a slave in Nejeon county, Virginia. and that his last master Thomss Cakey. set him free !wenty six years ago, since very sucdenly, and, at the suggestion of th fendants, swallowed a powder, which was purchased by the maie prisoner at some pray ree, in the neighborhood.

There » physician was cal'ed in, and after the application of some antidotes and restorativer, the sick woman was restored to conscious ness snd to gocd health. Yesterday morning Gardiner and his wife were brought to the Lower Police Court, on cbarge of having attempted to kill complainant. No motive for the crime as charged against the pritoners could be discovered.

The physician who attended the complainant could not swear that poison of avy kind had been administered, although the symptoms ‘were very ruspicious. As there exists but little or no evidence against the priscners, Justice Welsh has deter- mined to diecharge them from custody. It is generally believed that the complainant was suffering more from the effects of bad rum than anything else, particularly as Mrs. Foster, tne matron of the City prison, recognized old customer and haintué of the female depart- City Intelligence. ‘Tue Captain OF THE ALLEGED SLAVER.—It was stated in the Herarp of yesterday, that the Captain of the alleged slaver Bremer, who gave his nawe as A.
