The great boat race between the St.John and New York Clobs, for $1,000 a side, came off, accord- ing to cragime, on the Charles river, at Boston, yesterday; and we are informed that the contest re- sulted in the defeat of the New Yorkers. No par- ticulare of the affair have reached us. The Boston Times of Satarday says:—< Quite a crowd gathered at the Lynn Trotting Park, yester- day, to witness the pedestrian raves. The first race of five miles, for which several entered, was won by Patrick Whelden, in twenty-eight minutes and thirty-cight seconds. Thenext race, in which the renowned Grindell was tornn twenty miles in two bours, was not accomplished. Grindel! gave out on the fourteenth mile, be then being behind time. This failure is attributed to a blow which he reszived on on of his legs from John E. Taylor, who raised a row just before Grindell started t> run.” Our Washington correspondent telegraphs to ns that the Cabinet is in a quandary in regard to Mr. Corwine’é report on the subject of the late massacre and revbery of United States citizens at Panama. Mr. Corwine demands the Granadian government to make : eparation to the amount of half a million of dollars, andto take effective measures for the pry ‘ection of our citizens on and passing through the Isthmus, and recommends tha; in case of its failure 0 do se our government shall take military occupa- tion of Panama. This troubles the imbeciles at Washington. They are not usei to prompt and ef- fective measures. He als» sends us the reply of the New Granadian Secretary of State to our Ministe: at Bogota, which we publish. Mr. Corwiae is to snoceed Mr. Ward as Consul to Panama, that gen- Ueman’s removal having been requested by the Graradian goveroment. We are also informed that the Portnenece Comaule at Now Voce and Daltimone have been notified that the'r functions are for the present suspended. Tae slave traffic, so extensively set on foot in both cities, is said to have something to do with tLe suspenrions. We bt fved from Spa'n th which oft pp Jefinitely the N: kingdom, and stipulates that the government to the next Cortes the reasons which ted its decision. These reasons are ae follows: the militia is but an instrument of disor- der, a permanent cause of distarbance and nneasi bese, an Occasion of terror and anx to the con- servative classes, and a prison of corruption to tha lower orders. The government goes even farther in its exposé : it declares that the institation of the uard injures production, thet it paralizes trade, is opposed to every peaceful reform, is hostile to any power or government, and impedes the de velopement of representative institutions. A special meeting of the Common Coun! was held yesterday, to express the sense of the municipal uthorities upon the occasion of (he death of Lorenzo B. Shepard, Corporation Counsel. Appropriate re solutions were adopted, and feeling eulogies were delivered by several members. A commities: was appointed to superin‘end the funeral arrangemente, and an appropriation agreed to for the expenses of the same. A full report of the proceedings may he found in today's paper. The funeral ceremonies commence at half past one o'clock this afternoon, in Dr. Adams’ church, corner of East Twenty-fourth street and Madigon equare.

We mean that freedom which is nteed by the constitution, in opposition to hat raffianly democratic policy which is seeking to establish slavery in Kansas at the point of bayonet. We repeat it as our fixed cony hat upon thi Pennsylvania, in October will speak out against the rotten raffian nigzev driving democracy in a voice of thunder as loud as that of Maine: and we shal) give a logical easen or two for this he! Tue general sensation created by the lute tre men g of the people in Maine has not yet subsided, but is ng with tell effect in every quarter of the Union. Only think of an accession tothe popular vote, in the old established population of Maine, of twenty sand in the late clection beyond the hi and that the vote of the Fremont party gives them a plurality over the 5,000, and a clear majori over democrats and old line whigs of about 20.009; » the good old State of Maine, 1 as the democratic “Star in the East” this, and of the causes which have brought about this astonishing revolution, and you will have the key, good reader, to our opi- nion concerning Pennsylvania, upon that soond old maxim, that « like causes produce like effects,” The question recurs, what were the causes pro- dueing this terrible popular avalanche against ithe broken down democraey in Maine? They were the same causes which are concentrating the solid masees of the independent people of ali the North upon Fremont—against a debased, dis graced and utterly rotten administration aad party, with a policy of slavery extension de- veloped into @ military despotism over the Terri- te But as if these causes were not enough, it will be recollected that some two or three months ago « detachment of Southern secessi: democratic missionaries were sent into Maine to enlighten the people there upon the beauties of the new slavery extension policy of the democratic Pp Mr. Cobb of Georgia, Mr. Benjamin of Louisiana, and others, were among those mis s; and they set to work with a will to vbstantially, that the South would dis solve the Union if they were not permitted issue us upris vote ever cast before, hereto- sfona prove, to establish slavery in Kansas by fire and sword. They preached up the advantag of Southern slavery, and the extension of slavery. with such an unction, as the great car- dinal policy of the democratic party, as entirely to remove the veil which the local democratic leaders of Maine bed throwu over the Cincinnati platform. The Maine democracy stood aghast; their local leaders bad been whipping the devil ronnd the stump: bat these Southern gentlemen trained in a different atmosphere, spoke in a dif- anguage, and thus unwittingly did the vest possible eervice for Fremont, by identifying the universal Buchanan democracy with the bor- der ruffians of Kansas, The same game of Southern missionaries has Veen adopted in Pennsylvania; and hence we pre- dict the The ball was opened at Philadelphia the other day in a democratic de- monstration in which this Southern nigger driv ing element ®a* the prominent feature, and we presume that from Philadelphia a number of these Southern missionaries will branch off into various parts of the State for the delivery of similar speeches. The peculiar views of Southern gentlemen at Philadelphia well adapted to the South side of Maron and Dixon's line, where no other senti- ments are permitted by the secession democracy; lm. considering the democratic Southern terror- ism which now lords it over Kansas, the very presence at this time of such rampant nigger se- cersionists ae Jobneon and Cobb, of Georgia, in Penreylvania, can only damage thelr cause and their candidate, Mr. Buchanan, In hie Philadelphia speech, Governor Johnson of Georgia, was cloquent upon the glories of hig ferent ame result theee wore NEW YORK HERALD, constitution, of State equality, of the rights of citizens of all the States in the Territories, and upon the usefulness and the Christianizing in- fluences upon the blacks of the institution of slavery, and upon the merits of slave labor against hired labor, winding up with the old disgusting secession threat of Mr. Toombs, Mr. Fillmore and Mr. Buchanan, that “the day Fre- mont’s election is announeed will close the history of the Union.” Mr. Cobb was more courageous than his Georgia colleague, Mr. Johnson. Mr. Cobb is a very bold man, and boldly undertook an apology of “law and order” in behalf of that horrid administration ruffianism whieh in Kansas sets all law and order at defiance. His specch was very bold and very transparent; but while all those hideous Missouri ruffian laws continue © be enforced by the administration and the de- mocracy over the people of Kansas, all this rant end cant about the constitution, State equality, qual rights, niggers, and the price of niggers, is tut mockery and insult to an intelligent people. Above all, the sublime impudence of the threat © the people of Pennsylvania, that if they vote or Fremont the South will break up the Union, is to the last degree insulting and revolting. Yet with what an emphasis did this man Johnson, of Georgia, flourish this threat of secession over the heads of the Pennsylvania democrats! He could not have flourished more like a cruel master bis whip over the head of a rebellious nigger. These are the instraments that are doing the work for Fremont in Pennsylvania—the same that removed the mask from the honest but inde- pendent democratic voters of Maine; and while these Georgia orators continue in the Keystone State to give the democracy their orders and their threats, there will be no necessity there for the services of General Wilson or . Governor Reeder. The infatuation and folly of Forney in this business are much the same as in the For- est divorce case. In that affair he wrote to a sympathizing friend to hunt up a suitable wit- ness for the conviction of the lady in the case. He advised his friend of the individual that would suit the purpose. and as a specimen of friendship, requested that this individual be plied with liquor till drunk, and then pumped of all that he could or might boast of in his drunkenness, in reference to the woman to be victimized; and this was the ed upon for her conviction! Bat d conspiracy was blown, and that let- ter sealed the fate of Mr. Forney’s friend. There issomething, we say, of the same reckless folly and stupidity in this party expedient of Forney of bringing up these secessionists to bully and threaten, like veritable border ruffians, the peo- ple of Pennsylvania into their scheme of makin Kansas a slave State by fire and sword. Let them go on. We have seen the results of the labors of these democratic Southern merce- navies in Maine, and we predict the same results a Pennsylvania in October, as the prelude to the general avalanche of November. Let it come down. Ce IN tHe Rowan Srates.—The gov- vnment of the Roman States continues to be singularly oppressive, and but for the presence of the French and Austrians would be speedily overthrown. Whatever hopes of its ameliora- tion have been entertained by the more liberal European Powers, are melting away with every day's experience, A sullen desperation sits upon the brow of the Italian peasant, madness preduced by oppression obscures the intellect of ibe most gifted, treachery enters into the compo- ition of every domestic circle, and misery every- where prevails, under the present system. A correspondence is now taking place between an Italian patriot of the name of Farini, and Mr. Gladstone, on the present condition of Italy. One of bis letters on the Roman States presents a most appalling picture of its judicial system, and the consequences which flow from it. The Holy Office watches and punishes in cases of conscience, having a supreme congregation. viears and familiays, It gives no eson for its arrests and judges and punishes se- € There are also police tribunals and tri- bunals of the bishops, punishing violators of the church edicts with temporal penalties of various degrees, from a fine up to death. One of these, recently issued, resembles, in many particulars, the bloody code of Kansas, which panishes asa felon a man who may utter a “sentiment” on a pure question of morals, In the Roman States, en alleged “false maxim’ or “heretical blas- phemy” subjects the unfortunate accused to the severest punishments. The lay officials attached to the Holy Office have an entire immunity from arrest themselves, except by permission of an In- quisitor: and these may carry concealed wea- pons, even where it has been made a capita! crime. In the administration of civil jus there are again an Ecclesiastical Tribunal and Tribunals Special and Exceptional, to decide ques- tions relative to personal rights and rights of pro- perty. Indeed, these hundreds of special tribunals are continually seeking and punishing their vie tims. We may imagine the condition of a people thus chafed, harassed and crushed down by laws not made by themselves, and from which there is no appeal. The state of the country is shocking under these circumstances. Driven to despera- tion by the unparalleled cruelty of the laws, the people outlaw themselves, revenging their wroags hy bloody satisfaction, and preferring the wild liberty of the campagna to the espionage ani chains of the capital. In the Romagna, where the hated Austrians are posted, their protection is more odious to the people than the laws they protect. The robbers are more than usually ac tive, and the landholders pay them subsidies for their forbearance. All this wretchedness is the result of the enforcement of barbarous deer and edicts issued by the ecclesiastical authorities for the maintenance of law and order. We natu rally sympathize with those who suffer by such acts, and we might see almost a parallel ca-2 at home, where “law and order” is the watchword of brutal ruffianism, and where United Stat: troops are playing the part of Austrians, and en- forcing the penalties of a bloody code. The Roman prisons are filled. When “every buth is an officer” few can hide themeel Between 1852 and 1854, inclusive, 58,523 por- sons were imprisoned in the Roman States, for real or pretended offences. But there is no pub. lic security following even this severity. In the commune of Bologna, though there were in the month of August of last year 683 prisoners in Fort Urbano, there were during the first six months of the year 800 successful robberies, 80 violent assaults, 20 burglaries, and small offences innumerable. In public life everything is in the hands of the ecclesiastics; the laymen have but a mall influence. Society is thoroughly camer remity nized and the country is reduced to the ext: of despair.

One of the most consistent of the de- moeratie States—the “Star in the East,” as the democratic politicians used to style her—has moved owt of her former position, and now shines brilliantly over our heads, to guide and cheer us on our way. Nothing more startling to our po- litical magi could have occurred. It has upset all their previous calculations, The sheep in their fold, whom they have so long managed by hook and by crook, are running about in all di- rections, jumping “over the fences, hiding them- selves in the coverts and bleating in dismay. 4t is very doubtful whether they can ever be col- lected together again in any numbers. The green fields and pastures of office are drying up, and are not likely to furnish them with any more nibbles. The rot has evidently made its appear- ance among them, nor pitch nor tar can care them of the malady. The main question we allude to is of another character, and still under consideration: It is usual in parliamentary cases, when the real ob- ject and principle of a measure are sought to be obscured, kept out of sight, or defeated by new propositions, to move the main question, and thus reach a direct and prompt decision. 'The present Presidential question has assumed this phase. The public attention has been designedly turned away from it by those who dread the fina! calling of the ayes and noes. They have hoped to get over it by creating irrelevant issues—to strangle it by uproar and disorder. Thus every thing has been discussed by this class of politi- cians but the right one, Some exbanst th lungs by shouting their dislike of woolly horses; others are lecturing on geography and the cha- racter of the Rocky Mountains; others, like old Mortality in Walter Scott's novel, are decypher- ing the inscriptions on grave stones, to detect the antecedents of the man they would fain lay un- der the sod; others are rumaging among the sa- cristies of the Roman Catholic chapels to ascer- tain whether he was ever a partaker of “the sa- crament of marriage;” others go in promiscuov ly for whatever garbage they may rake up, with the zeal of scavengers. Private life, public ser- vices and personal character are the target a‘ which these ruffian marksmen take aim, looking round occasionally to see if they are winning baskets enough to hold a slice of the loaves and fishes, All this electioneering is of the most pitiful character. The people of this country are not to be humbugged by any such artifices. What they want is a radical change in the administra- tion of the government—a return to honest and honorable principles; they demand less ecorrup- tion in Congress, more virtue in legislation, and a closer adherence to the constitution. Above all—and this is now the main question— shall the army of the United States be employed to enforce obedience to any laws which deprive American citizens of the liberty of speech of the press, and of conscience? This is the turning point of the present election. In com- parison with this, everything else is “leather and prunella.” Never before was so momentous a question to be decided at any Presidential elec- tion. Every other issue than this is trivial and un- important. If the President, and the party which he has indorsed over to Mr. Buchanan, can strike down the great principles of constitutional, political and moral liberty, our republican gov- ernment js at anend. What remains of it will be but © the empty skin of an immolated vic- tim.” If the trial by jury be infringed upon, on the one hand, and test oaths be enforced as the qualification of office on the other—if punishment is to follow opinions, and humanity be visited with death—we may bid farewell to every safe- guard, every guarantee of personal liberty. Despotism in its worst forms will be at work. Will be at work, did we say? It is already so in Kansas. Within ten days journey from the Capi- tol, the sword, the bayonet and the scalping kuife are already reeking with the blood of our coun- trymen, because they refuse to be gagged aud drag the ball and chain for the utterance of a sentiment and the expression of an opinion. Let the bloody laws of Kansas be maintained as they have been, first by Pierce. and next, as they will be, by Buchanan, and we are a free people no longer. Sordid, unprincipled and corrupt party followers may We indifferent to these conse- quences; If they can ouly put their hands in the treasure or enjoy the spoils of the vanquished they do not care what governs or how they are governed. Dut there is a large and overwhelm- ing majority of the people. possessing religious and moral associations and convictions, who cannot witness these cuormities without alarm. There are seventeen millions of persons in the United States of Protestant faith, differing about non-essentials in doctrine, perhaps, but unaninmeus inthe love of moral and political liberty. They be- long to no section—no geographical limits con- fine their convictions—no party allegiance can bind them to the horns of an altar on which free- dom of opinion is sacrificed and liberty expires. This is the iseue—this is the principle at stake. This is what they are to consider and decide. The main question is now put. Apaxpoxwent or Jawes Becnaxan py THE Dewocracy or New Yors.—There is every ap- pearance now that James Buchanan will be al- most universally abandoned by the democracy of New York. For several weeks shoals of the old democrats, both here and in Pennsylvania, have been going over to the Fremont canse. The ridiculous nomination of John A. King for Governor, made at the late Republican Conven- tion at Syracuse. under the auspices of Thurlow Weed, has only tended to the rapid disiate a of all the old political parties. Many of <he o} democrats who went over to the repot few weeks ago. are now abandoning «+ ticket, and uniting on a ticket which « Fremont for President and Parker for Governor. This and similar movements that are qoing on will probably give to Fremont the State of New York by a majority unprecedented before. Bat thousands of the old democrats who will vote for him will never submit to be ruled by Thur low Weed and the blood of the Kings; and we call upon them to take measures at once to sweep the State at the ensuing election, with a ticket hearing the names of Fyemont and Parker.

Several moetings have been held in reference to it, It worries and perplexes them consierably, ‘nacmuch as it recommends bold and prompt measuree, and this administration is quite ueused to any such thing. The report and the teetimony taken in the matter would make about twelve columns of the Herat. The report alone would make some three columns. As | krow you could not epare space to publish it in fall, | will tel! you the points :— Dir. Corwine fastens the responsibility of the massacre on the New Granadian government, and requires that government to metke full reparation and atonement for ft. Be demands indemnity to the eutlerers by it—as well for the lives lost aud the injuries received as for the property destroyed—to the amount of half a million of dollars, He also requires the New Granadian government to make provision for the comp’ete protection of American citizens reciding iu and in trensit through Panama; and in event of theee demands not being fally complied with, be recom mends our government to tske military porseseion of the isthmus, No wonder Pierce and his Cabinet should be in a stew about thie.
