Hon. William L. Dayton, of New Jersey, was unanimously nominated for Vice President on the frst formal ballot. A resolutisn was adopted for holding a Young Men's National Convention at Harrisburg, in September next. A eommittee of three, consisting of F. P. Biair, of Maryland, George T. Brown, of Illinois, and E. G. Spalding, of New York, was appointed o prepare an address, with the view to gecure the cooperation of all parties in the xepublican movement. A proposition to hold the next National Convention.at Cleveland was referred to the National Committee, it being urged that it might be advisable four years hence to go to Rich- wond, Va., or Lexington, Ky. Speeches were de- livered by some dozen of the most prominent leaders, the usual complimentary resolutions to the officers were passed, and the meeting separated. In the evening a ratificatiun meeting was held, at which Senator Wilson and others spoke. Immediately after the nomination of Mr. Dayton, the New Jersey delegation proceeded to Trenton and waited upon the nominee for Vice President. In reply to a congra- tulatory sddress, Mr. Dayton defined his position» accepted the nomination, and unreservedly endorsed the platform of the republican party. The following are the Presidentiul tickets now in the field :— YOR PRESIDENT. FOR VICE PRESIDENT. Democratic. J.C, Breckenridge, Ky. Republican. . Jobn C. Fremont, §.C. — W. L. Dayton, New Jersey.

Kenneth Raynor, N.C. Aboliion. Gerrit Smith, New York. $. McFarland, Pa The anti Fillmore wing of the American or Know Nothing party, which had been in session last week in this city, reassembled yesterday, pursuant to ad- journment, in the Apollo Rooms. This Convention, before nominating Bauks and Johnston, had ap pointed a committee to confer with the Republican Convention ia Philadelphia, in reference to a pro- ject of co-operation. The committee had returaed, and through George Law, its chiiriwan, reported in sobstance that they had been discourteously and shabbily treated by the party at Philadelphia The report merely recouuted the facts, but did not recommend any action: it was adopt ed. Horatio N. Wild, of New York, mude @ speech, a bolt, and a double somersaalt back to the side of Fillmore; and Mr. Calkins, of Pennsylvania, followed his bright example. Mr. Witliamson, of Pennsylvania, and Mr. Schaffer, of New York, c.ade speeches strongly condemuatory of the course of the repnblicans; and then the Con- vention adjourned till this morning. The delegates held a caucus meeting at the Astor House last even- ing, for the purpose of making harmonious and aa- tisfactory arrangements tor to-day, but afier some Kittle talking, concluded to adjourn without eifecting anything definite. Our conespondent at St. Domingo city, writing on the 27th of May, states that General Sentana has resigned the Presidency of Dowinica, having been at the head of the government siuce the declaration of independence, in 1844. [Efforts were made to induce the General to withdraw his resignation, but with- out avail. General Alfan, the present Secretary of War, was a prominent candidate for the succession. There is no other news of importance. By the arrival of the Cahawba at this port yester- day, we have Havana dates to the 14th instant. There was nothing of special interest stirring. The dismissal of Mr. Crampton and the recoguition of Padre Vijil by our government, has induced General Concha to apply for reinforcements for both the military and naval forces. The annual cattle show, to take place at Principe some time in June, and continue for twenty days, was all thefashion. The Captain General and other notabilities were to be present. The sugar market was quite active, witha slight advance fh prices. A new church edifice is to be erected at the cor- ner of Ninth avenue and Thirty-first street, by the congregation under the char,e of Rev. E. F. Hat- field. An account of the ceremonies attending the laying of the corner stone may be found elsewhere in our columns. The Tenant House Committee of the Legislature yesterday visited the First, Third and Fifth wards of the city. They took the worst class of tenements in their tour of inspection. A house was shown in Broadway wifich bas been unoccupied ten years, solely from filial regard of a daughter for a deceased mother. In this day of extortionate rents this is a most wonderful fact of filial feeling, outweighing re- gard for the almighty dollar. A meeting of the Democratic Republican General Committee was held last evening, at Tammany Hall, Lorenzo B. Sheperd ‘in the chair, for the pur- pose of electing a President for the ensuing year, but the matter, after some disvussion, was tabled, and the committee, without doing anything farther, adjourned until the Ist Thursday in July. In the Senate yesterday Mr. Clayton stated that he had been misrepresented by Lord Clarendon in some remarks on the Central American question made ia the British Parliament, General Casg | made some remarks on the @ame wabject, Mn Toombs could gee no reason why the Central Ame: Tican difficulty could not be settled by arbitration. Mr. Geyer gave notice of e vill supplementary to the Kansas-Nebraska act, probably another pacifi- cation scheme. Mr. Dongles offered a resolution that Congress adjonrn un the first Tuesday in July. Mr. Weller did not thiwk the state of The public business would s@mit of adjournment before the 15th of August. The ‘consideration of the matter was postponed. Several unimpottast bills were passed, and tle Senate adjourned till Mondey. Nothing dove in the House, for want‘of a quorum, Padre Vijit left Washington yesterdey, and will | proceed to Nicaragua in the Orizaya on the 24th inst. 11] bealth and a desire to confer wits his gov- ernment sre the reasons assigneé for his leaving. Our Washington co:respondent ¢tates that a spevial messenger will be sent to Nicaragas with the basis of a postdl'treaty designed to break up the Parama monopoly. Gen. Whitfield, of Kansas, arrived at Washington yesterday. He reports all quiet in the Territory. The cotton market was quiet yesterday, ard the sales oniby reached about 400 a 500 bales, at un- hangediprices. Dealers were waiting for%he re- ceipt ef private letters by the America. Flour was without change for common grades. Rates for all gradea, however, were somewhat irregular, but up- on the-whole firmer for medium, extra,-@hio and other similar Western, Southern and Canadian grades. Prime wheat was 3c. a 4c. per bushel hightr while common and inferior qualities were with out «change of moment. Corn wae without alteration of importance; prime qualities were in light supply, and prices quite firm; while inferior qualities were abumdant and prices irregular. ‘Rye sold at 80c. from store, and 82c.@ 83c. afloat. Pork was easier, with sales of meas at $19 a $19 12. Lard was better, with sales in bbls. at 11je., andiu kegs at 12}c. Sugars con- tinued firm, with siles of about 1,000&hds. Cuba musvovado, at prices given in another column. Cof- fee was in fair demand, with sales of about 2,000 bags Brazil and 200 do. St. Domingo, at steady prices. Freights were quite steady, and about 50,000 busiels wheat, in bags and hulk, were engaged for Liverpool at 6d. a 7d.; and considerable lets of flour, at 2s. 43d. a 2s. 6d. Fer London, flour was taken at 2a. 9d. a 28. 104d., and wheat, in bags, at 9d.; and for Havre, 4,000 bushels wheat, at 124c. Governor Wise’s Ratification Speech for Virginin. Governor Wise—of whom we have snade a great man on both sides of the Atlantic, in spite of hizaself, and in spite of his very ungentteman- ly treatment of the reporter of the Heratp and its conductor, during the momentous Virginia campaign of 1855—has again taken the stump. His opening speech at the democratic ratification meetiug at Richmond, in favor of James Bucha- nan, of Wheatland, which we published yesterday, fully convinces us that, as the exposition of the democratic Governor of Virginia in behalf ef the candidate and platform of the party for the Presidency, it is full of invaluable information to | our Northern democracy at this portentous crisis | in our domestic and foreign affairs, Our accurate and accomplished representative in the Southern States has given us an admirable report of this masterly speech of Goveruor Wise. In reading it we are happy to perceive that the Governor has abandoned the loose and vulgar language and ungentlemanly dialeet in which he too frequently indulged during his memorable stumping tour against “the knights of the dark lantern.” He now talks and argues—and no doubt gesticulates—with all the suavity, gravity, moderation and courtesy of a Virginia gentleman of the old school, even reminding us rather forcibly, now and then, of the wonderful John Randolph of Roanoke, as we knew him on the floor of the House of Representatives in his best days. It would be a fortunate thing for the country if many others of our Southern and our Northern politicians capable of such rapid and satisfactory improvement upon the stump as that which is indicated in this late speech of Governor Wise, in comparison with his rough, crude and crusty efforts of but one short year ago. With this compliment to the gratifying pro- gress of the Governor as a public speaker, under our efficient and practical system of tuitioa, we proceed at once to the consideration of this Rich- nd ratification speech. It is an important ithe most pregnant of bold ideas—the most le in its peculiar views, and the most suggestive of the real issues of this great contest, as well as thé most clov nt and appropriate of any that we have Mr. Buchanan's nomina- tion, It immeasurably surpasses in solid matter for reflection the best of te Congressional displays to the music of the artillery of Captain Rynders, in the Park. These Congressional ark orators were flippant, superficial, and in the full of soucd and fury, signifying no- but Governor Wise pleads his case as if discussing it to reasoning and inquiring men, possessed of some knowledge of public aflairs. The first peculiarity of this ratification endorse- ment of Governor Wise is, that it is adapted to a Southern latitude, in the presentatioa of the Cincinnati Convention, its platform, its nominee, and its fout ensemile. With a good deal of amus- ing twaddle, aud many witty and pungent allu- sions to the Know Nothings, the black republi- cans, the nigger worshippers and the great and and almost ble speech of were everything unterrificd democra the sun, “this Te Governor Wise is especially remarkable for two strong points of interpretation which he fastens upaen the Cincinnati platform and nominee. Upon the first of these points the Governor en- deavors to show that Mr. Buchanan is the best possible candidate for the South, because under his administration it may be confidently expected that such a course of action will be pursued as will result under the Kansas-Nebraska law, in the admission of Kansas into the Union as a slave holding State. Governor Wise became quite enthusiastic upon this important point, and goes so far as to intimate that with the election of Mr. Buchanan one of the great staples of Vir ginia, that is to say, niggers—sleek, fat and healthy buck niggere—will rise in value from the average of a thousand to at least five thousand dollars a pivee. This fine promise of the Gover- nor, however, should be taken with some grains of allowance, for if we mistake not, this same Mr. Wise, in the log cabin and hard cider carni- val of 1840, promised with other whig orators, the desirable premium of “two dollars a day and roast beef” to all the people, provided they would elect General Harrison, They did elect General Harrison, but the first great thing for the couniry which followed was not the promised “two dollars a day and roast beef,” nor anything like it; but it was a general bank- rupt law, as the shortest way of wiping off the shinplaster speculations under Martin Van Buren. Gov. Wise may be better posted up on nig- gers and the prospect of an immensely increased value of this cash article, in the event of the ad- mission o; Kansasas a slave State. Whether the election of the sage of Wheatland will yesult else under NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, JUNE 20, 1856. ee nD in making Kansas a slave State, and in advanc- ing the price of good healthy’ niggers to two, three, four or five thousand dollars a head, is more than we can ‘ell. We have not hed the necessary experience in the trade in this article of the home productions of Virginia to express any decided opinion on the subject. We think, how- ever, that the Give thousand dollars promised by ‘Governor Wise for a single able bodied he-nig- ‘ner, in the event of securing Kansas as a slave ‘Sate, is a rather high figure. For move precise information we shall probably apply te John Van Buren, who, we understand, has some speeu- lations afoot which will inveive the most rigid estimates of the cash value of niggers of all kinds, The-other remarkable peint in this remarkable ratification speech of Governor Wise, is the oava- lier manner in which he throws overboard the whok ‘oreign policy of the Cincinnati platform. Against this filibustering and revolutionary pro- gramme, to which Mr. Buchanan and his party stand pledged before the country, Governor Wise endeavors to chow, from his persoual know- | ledge of the statesman of Wheatland, that there is not the slightest possible cause for apprehend- ; ing, with the success of the democracy, a @escent | of those British gunboats among the nig- gers and oysters of Chesapeake Bay. Not a bit of it. Governor Wise as sures his constituents that Mr. Buchanan is a statesman of the purest water, opposed to all kinds of filibustering, and in every respect a most reliable old gentleman upon our foreign relatiens, On the other hand, the Ostend manifesto stares us broadly in the face, and we fear that upon appli- cation to Messre. Soulé, Sickles and Geerge Sanders (all of whom had a finger in the Mstend pie), they will pronounce the old war herse of Pennsylvania the very prince of filibustere, one of the most magnificent supporters of annexation and “manifest destiny,” and one of the most faithful admirers of Cuba, and that the Cincin- nati platform and the Cincinnati candidate dove- tail as niccly on this subject as the jointe of a mahogany bureau. For our part we must take the acceptance of the platform by Mr. Buchenan, in all its details, as defining his position. We suppose, too, that if Mr. Buchanan was -bold enough to proclaim the Ostend policy ov the other side of the Atlantic, he will be bold eneugh to stick to it on this side. In our commentaries upon the manifestees, stump speeches and orations of this campaign, it shall be our policy to deal justly but inée- pendently with all parties concerned. We have only to say that neither the Cincinnati Conven- tion, nor its jugglers, nor their resolutions or nigger driving policy, nor Know Nothingism, nor nigger worshippers can deceive the independent people of this country, as long as the inde- pendent press is on their side, and continues as warmly supported as we have been for some twenty odd years, We shall not confine our dis- cussions to the modern demoralized democracy, alias the nigger-drivers, but with the same un- flinching course against all sorts of humbugs, trickery and deception, we shall deal with the follies and trickeries of all the time-serving and agitating parties and factions of the day. We shall hold a tight reign over nigger drivers, aboli- tionists, nigger worshippers and Know Nothings, including even Com. Stockton, his pocket nomi- nation and his corporal’s guard, and his Camden and Amboy Railroad, and the killed and wound- on all sides, What Governor next follows Governor Wise? Tne RerusiicaN Piatrorm is pretty well: it amounts to little. It may be condensed into hree sentences :-— Ist. They want Congress to rule the Territo- rics, and to exclude slavery therefrom. 2d. They want Kansas to be free. 3d. They want no war. On the other hand, the Cincinnati platform takes a different ground: the democrats want : Ist. Congress not to meddle with the Terri- tories. 2d. Kansas to be slave. 3d. War. Of these two platforms the first is unquestion- ably the best. The second article of both we re- gard as immaterial. It matters really nothing to the country whether Kansas be a free or a slave State; and, in the second place, whether it becomes free or not will depend, not on the opin- ions or wishes of the President for the time be- ing, but on the will of the people who reside in Kansas. Ifthe climate of the Territory is not suited to slavery it will not flourish there, though it should be established; it will decline and gradually fall off, as it is doing in Maryland, Delaware and Kentucky. With regard to the jurisdiction of Congress over the Territories, the position of the Fremont platform is the best. The experience of Kansas, quite consistent with the teachings of common sense, shows that Territories are not fit for self- government till they contain some settled, sub- stantial population; squatter sovereignty, in their . is a mere delusion. Every one can judge of the relative merits of the third propositions in the two platforms. If the interests of this country can be best ad- vanced by a war with France, England and Spain combined, brought on by a reckless at- tempt of our government to seize Cuba, then the Cincinnati platform is the preferable one; but if we shall be the greater gainers by peace, indus try, commerce, good will and public enterprise, then the Fremont ticket is the safest of the two. Mr. Bucuanan’s Letter or Acceptayce.—We publish this morning Mr. Buchanan’s letter ac- cepting the Cincinnati nomination. It is very smooth, very gracious and very consoling. The celebrated Tittlebat Titmouse, when put up for Parliament, promised everything to everybody as his platform; but the task of Mr. Buchanan has been more difficult. He accepts the Cincin- nati platform, and can’t undertake to promise anything more or less—but yet he does promis us the millenium. The old whigs will be delight- ed to read it, for it will be news to them that they are all going for the Cincinnati nominee. Let every body read this consoling letter. Who says now there will be war? Marcy's Orrxion or Coones Fremoxt.—We publish an extract to-day from the annual report of the War Department of 1846, concerning the military achievements of Colonel Fremont in California. This extract being an official state- ment from Secretary Marcy for the information of the President of the United States and the two houses of Congress, must be correct. Official documents are always considered “the best sort of testimony. Taking, therefore, this official state- ment of the Secretary of War as unquestionably true, it establishes the fact that to J. C. Fremont belongs especially the honor of the conquest of California, Let every tub stand on its own bottom, Our Municipal Government. Judge Capron delivered, on Monday, an elo- quent charge to the Grand Jury on the subject of crime in this city. He represented that the criminal calendar was no index of crime, as, not- withstanding the efforts made by police and public officers, many, if not most, criminals es-~ cape. The learned Judge went on to say:— Acheek has been given to open or public gamblinrs, Dut gambling, ina covert way, is, ag Tam credibly in formed, still pursued in several’ designated localit ies. Dealers in lottery policies are as plenty in this city as pigeons tm the forests. Burglars, thieves, incendbaries, perjurers, robbers, assassins, usurers, cheats, moc'x auc: lioneers, extortioners, and keepers of disorderly houses and:of Prothels, are continually busy with their deeds of fraud, violence, darkness and death, Intoxteating liquors are new illegally sok im as many as ten iousind places inthis city, and in mot a few of those pl sales are made on all days of the week. Ror is there ‘amy reason to suppose that the ypicture is ovemirawn. Indeed it might more ‘essily be heigittened than palliated. But Judge Capron, pursuing the subject, in- ‘quires: Why are these things se? And by an eimaccountable aberration of intellect, he comes to the conclusion that the reason is because peaceable citizens do not aid the officers of jus- tice sufficierly in the discharge of their duties. This strikes us as a monstrous doctrine. Why the public at large—merchants, tailors, lawyers, sehoemakers, bricklayers, doctors—should be ex- ‘pected to leave their respective trades and of- fices, and go towork to help policemen, or judges, orddistrict attorneys, or magistrates, ap- pears inexplicable on any other principle than one which justifies the idleness or incapacity of the parties requiring help. These various officials are hired by the public to ad-| minister justice and government, and preserve peace and order: for performing that duty they reeeive ‘rom the public a salary which enables them to live; they receive also, wheu soever they can make a case out to show the ne- cessity of help, salaried assistance to any extent. On what grounds they should believe themselves | entitled tothe further aid and collaboration of the public, we are wholly at a loss to imagine. A policemen arresting a thief, and assailed by his cv... ades, is justified in calling upon the by- standers for assistance; but what would be thought of a;policeman who expected the by- standers to arrest the thief and carry him to the station house, while the officer, paid for perform- ing that duty, took his ease hard by? Yet this is the state of things that would flow from the adoption of Judge Capron’s principles. In fact, they have been tried already. Not so very long since, a party who had been robbed made com- plaint at one of the proper offices, and was told to go back, find the thief, and then return with the information: being promised aid from the police when he returned. The party who thus condoled with the sufferer was acting on Judge Capron’s principles: he believed in the necessity of the citizens helping the authorities, ‘The public at large take a different view. They eonceive that having elected men to govern and administer justice, and having paid up the money that is to keep these officials, their task is complete: the rest concerns the officials. That, we will beg leave to state to Judge Capron,: is the view taken of these matters abroad, in London and Paris, for instance. In those citiee—which, as the Judge is doubtless aware, are admirably governed—bakers, and butchers, and lawyers are not expected to neglect their trade for the sake of helping the govern- ment, Indeed, any proffer of aid would be very ill received by the authorities of either city The government of London, like that of Paris, looks for no extraneous help: it performs its duty, sup- presses vice, punishes crime, maintains order, timply because, first, its chiefs are well selected, and secondly, they are bound to do their duty. Neither in London nor Paris, nor any German city, are the people cursed with a system of primary conventions, availing to dis- franchise the public at large in favor of the worst, most depraved, most worthless of the com- munity: nor in any of those cities could the laws be violated, and virtue and order and decency openly set at naught, in the face of the officials, without entailing the severest penalties on the latter. For in London, Paris, Vienna or Berlin, when a man accepts an office he is understood to pledge himself to perform his duty honestly; if he does not, he must bear the consequences. They have sent a Mayor to prison in France for a term of years, for allowing theatrical perfor- mances to take place in a building which fell and killed some persons; that is the principle on which they usually act. It would be quite im- possible, for instance, for the Mayor of a city like New York—were it in France or Germany—to go rambling over the coun- try as an itinerant lecturer; be would be bouud, in decency, to resign at once. The life of a Mayor, of whose city as much coukl be caidas Judge Capron has said of New York, would not be safe in some parts of Europe: he would be arrested directly, tried, and made to answer for his misconduct and neglect. Nor would it be possible in any city but Rome for an affray like that{which took place on Wednesday, between the Mayor’s brother and another man, to disturb the peace of a crowded thoroughfare, and yet not a single arrest to follow. It is in a careful study of these features of our peculiar institutions in the North, that the true source of our anarchy will be discovered : not in the apathy or the avarice of our people.

DALLAS—THE NEW TARIFF BILL— PLAN FOR A RAILROAD TO THE PACIFIC—DEPAR~ ‘TURE OF PADRE VIJIL—SPECIAL MINISTER SENT TO ICARAGUA—THE GEN. GADSDEN TROUBLE, ETC. Wasnixcton, June 19, 1856. ‘The State Department is not a little surprised at receiv- ing nothing from Mr. Dallas on the subject of the Cramp- ton affair. His optaion was looked for with great interest, but nothing came to hand bat newspaper speculations. It was supposed flat he could form a pretty good idea of what the feeling of the British Cabinet would be on the reception of the news of Mr. Crampton’s dismissal, and that he would Iny that‘opinton without delay before his government, for what itwas worth. His silence, thore- fore, embarrasses the Premier, who is driven to con- jecture and to newspapers during his anxious suspense. General Gadsden has had no interview with President Pierce or with Mr. Marcy. He called twice on the Presi- deat, but each ‘time failed to obtain an audience, He knows notwhy he has been ordered to Washington by Mr. Picrce, nor ‘has he negotiated any treaty. Gen. G. ays Spain:contemplates nothing like an attack on Mexico, ‘but-her fleet at Vera Cruz is designated to be used against he present liberal party in the event of another revolu- tion. Mexico does not regard the position of Spain as menacing. Padre Vijil left here to-day for New York, and will sail rom thence to Nicaragua on the 24th instant, in the steamer Orizaba, One reason of his leaving is owing to ‘the delicate state of his health; the other is that he wishes: ‘to confer with’his government in reference to matters in Nicaragua. ‘He will appoint some person here to attend to affairs during his absence. In fact, he deems it advi- sable, owing to the critical condition of our affairs with England, that there should be some one to represent him. Who that person is, is not known. Gen. Deshields, of Louisiana, goes out special bearer of despatches to Nicaragua, with the basis for a postal treaty, designed to break up the Panama monopoly. Since my despatch stating the determination of the Committee of Ways and Means on the subject of the tariff, there has been no meeting of the committee, and conso- qnently the details of the new bill are still unsettled. The republican leaders express themselves as yery con- fident of success in November next, with Col. J. C. Fre- mont as their leader; but Mr. Justice McIean and his friends are chagrined atthe nomination of Colonel F. over one who had made such sacrifices to obtain it. Since the Cincinnati, New York and Philadelphia Conventions have recognised the Pacific railroad as a legitimate plank in their platforms, the construction of ‘this.road is no longer considered as problematical. The special committce will report, at an early day, after busi- ness is resumed by our national legislators, a bill provid- ing for two roads—one to be constructed by the several roads now already chartered through Iowa and Minn ta, by a union-of said roads at Fort Kearney, and from that point a single trunk road to the navigable waters of the Pacific Ocean. That portion of jhe Northern route which lies within the State of California, will be assigned to the San Francisco and Sacramento Railroad Company.

Wednesday, on account of the storm, took yester- day, in addition toa sweepstakes. The rain, which had. been excessive during the previous day, left the track in a horrible condition for speed and time, as will be seen by the report of the rai particularly the four mile race, which The attendance was very large, considering th appear- ance of the morning, which was dull in the extreme, peo- ple generally being apprehensive, until a late hour in the: morning, that the sports would not take y In addi- tion, the adyertisernent notifying the public, by some- mishap, was not published in the Hzerap, to the columns: of which the sporting world always refer for intelligence... Bat the wind having shifted in the morning from south- east to west, auguring a fine afternoon, posters were got out by the Club announcing that the races would posi- tively come off, and people began to make preparations: accordingly. There can be no doubt that, had every- thing been favorable, this would have been one of ther most brilliant day’s sport that ever took place, as probae bly no better horses were ever brought together. Arriving at the Course at a late hour, we found that already great numbers had preceded us, The eld was well filled with sand all kinds of other vehicles;, the stands were crowded with spectators, and to add to- the beauty of the scene were numbers of fashionable and gayly dressed ladies, showing that the softer sex are ag great admirers of racing, when properly conducted, as: those who wear Shanghai coats and captivating mous- tuches. They were interested in the running toa phrengy; and the way that they bet gloves, handkerchiefs, and byjou- terie, was an example to sporting men. It was laughable to Witness their excitement and see them bet—they have such anice way of doing it, They felt themselves so comforlable, so much at home, there being nothing to offend their sensibilities, owing to the excelient arrange- ments of the Club, that they had no hesitation in giving free vent to their feelings, and acted as if they were im attendance ata social reunion. Those who were presenb. yesterday, we dare say, will grace the Course with their presence the next two days, together with all their female acquaintances, who, no doubt, will receive a more graphie. description Of the sports than anything we can furnish ip our limited space. The colt race was the first in order, and took place soon after we reached the ground. Much had been said about the qualities of the entries, Mr. Ten Broce Sovereign filly, Prioress, being considered at the South the fastest in world, he having purchased her of General Wells, at the time of buying Lecompte, paying $12,500 for the pair, his object being to take them to England, to beat the English On his way hither with this filly on their own ground, he matched her aj but subsequent with his other pro o Mr. Gibbon, a Giencoe, out of Nan also a favorite, and highly thought of. eVecinnen of tie Gleneoo fit horse and a spirited koned in the al. though ‘avery fi ihe race lay betw ever, astonished his opponents in the second heat, ‘whic Le came within an ace of winning, having laid up on the: first one.
