Amoug our city political intelligence we publish a lengthy appeal to the public, signed by Peter B. Sweeny and J. Y. Savage, Jr., Secretaries of Tara- many Hal) General Committee. !t is an interesting g@ocument. It furnishes some farther explana‘ions of the masterly manner in which Fernando Wood outgeneralied his opponents on the Mayoralty ques- tion, and likewise of the very efiicient method which he ix said to have adopted to spike the opposition gun of Jobn Cochrane. Messrs. Sweeny and Savage announce their resignation as Secretaries of the Ge wera] Committee. Well, what of it? There were four unsuccessful ballotings ia the Tam- many Hall General Committee last evening for a ebairman, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of Mr. “bepard. On the last trial Wilson Smal! veceived 54 out of 112 votes, lacking three votes of ap election. Mr. Small is sapposed to be in the in- terest of Meyor Wood. Ove of the democratic conventions met in the ‘Third Congressional distri:t last night, and unani- mously nominated Gen. Hiram Walbridge as their candidate. In accepting the nomination Gen. W. urged harmony upon thé party, and boped that all differences would be amicably and satisfactorily ar- ranged. Alter the adjournment of the convention, he addressed a large body of the people 0° that dis- trict, urging the same views. His remarks were en- thusiastically received. According to the report of the Health Officer of Brooklyn, the yellow fever exists to sone extent in the locality bounded by Joralemon street, Willow place and Columbia row. Eight deaths have o ecrred in that neighborhood during the present month, and now there are three cases, ome of which is quite critical. It is also stated that Mayor Hall and two members of his family are very ill, but the ware of the disease under which they ere safferiag is not made known. The anneal Episcopal Diocesan Convention ad- joorned last evening, after a session of three days The principal business transac‘ed consisted of some alterations in the constitation of the diocess, and some propoved amendments to the constitution of the Episcopal chureh of the United States.

We publish a few fioanciai and other detaiis. Some further particulars bave reached us respect. jog the frand committed by the two cashiers of the Northern Railroad of france, who are supposed to have taken passage for the United States.

By way of New Orleans we have news from Ha- wana to the 17th inst. Previous reports relative to the despatch of 2 portion of toe British squadron to Mexican waters, to assist im settling e diffe ences letween Mex! and Eagiaud, are confirmed.

The heals of Havena was very good; no farther fears of yellow fever were entertained, and the dysentery of whi-h disease there had been several fatal caves—was avating. The sngar crop was said to be in ¢ flourishing concition. The cotton market was quile firm yesterday, with sales reported of about +,000 bales, at very fill prices. The telegraph reperte regarding frow io the cotton region of the South are not generally credited. it would appear rather strange tha: frost shovld ceeur at Vicksburg, in Mississippi, beiore it ed aby damage to vegetation in the vicinity of ew York. It however needs no frost story to aid the prevalent belief that the supply of cotton from thie year’s growth will not meet that of last year. Our late accounts from Texas and some other parte of the Sonth have of late been regarded ae uate vorable to a fall crop. Much, however, will depend pon late and favorable autumn weather.

Why not ex f “ide He tel) ve how t The Great Speech of Mr. Backs—The Troe Principles of the Fremont Movement Clearly Defined. t is seldom that we have the pleasure of pre- senting our readers a political speech of the high and comprebensive character of that of Mr Speaker Banks on Thursday last, in Wall street’ and which we published verbatim in the Heratp of yesterday morning. It is a speech full of Solid: and substantial matter, presenting, in a calm, dignified, modest, yet manly and statesmanlike exposition, the real issuer between the two great parties in this canvass, upon which the American people will be called to express their verdict in November. The President of the meeting at which this speech was delivered said that the spot selected—— the balcony of the Merchants’ Exchange—had Leen “consecrated to patriotism by the eloquence of Daniel Webster and Silas Wright;” and we think it may be safely asserted that since those eminent statesmen have disappeared from the stage of action, no public man, North or South, in any popular addvess, has shown a higher claim to be ranked with such men as Webster and Wright than this new Massachusetts “ expounder of the constitution.” It is not the first time that we tave had a comparison made between the indus- ial products of the North and the South; Mat it is certainly the first .time during this campaign in which the causes that have resylted in the preponderating in- tiuence A the South in the general go- vernment, have been so pointedly presented. Mr. Banks says that while we of the North “have becn busy in science, in literature. in the me- cbani . in commerce, in improving agricul- ture.” &¢c.. “the men of the South bave siven r whole attention to the government of the country,” and that “now, we propose to divide this little matter of government with them “—a fair division, ne more, but no less. And in re- gard to Southern rights he defines the true policy of Fremont and the great party supporting him as a policy involving not the slightest interference with the institutions of the Southern States, sectional, local or traditional.” Starting from this point. Mr. Banks discloses, in the notorious history of this Pierce administra- tion and its disorganizing measures and party expedients, foreigu and domestic, the abundant causes resulting in the present general w ing f the North against the corrupt and demor zed democratic party, and against that despotic power in the common government which the Southern secession element of the democracy now so boldly demands at the hazard of a dissolution af the Union. In this coonection Mr. Banks declares most truly that * the bloody code of Draco bears no com- parison with that scandalous code of inhuman ation enacted witbin the last three years in Territory of Kansas, by men who went over » from a neighboring State, and who had no territorial or individual rights there;” and that paramount object of this Fremont movement is to abolish these infamous, flagitious and un- paralleled proceedings and their instruments. which the party now in power, by their army, by proclamations of their executive, and by his itorial officers, are endeavoring to thrast down the throats of an insulted and justly revolt- Dy people. - The plan, too, deseribed by Mr. Bauks, through which law and order are to supersede ruftianism and robbery in Kansas, is very simple and sati+ factory. In the election of Fremont we shall have © a man who will exert the influence of this government in that portion of the United States, +o as to allow Its people to settle the question of slavery there for themselves.” It isa plan which imply proposes to take up the doctrine repu- diated by the jacobin democracy—-the dortrine of popular eovereignty—and to make it good in Kansas—nothing more. Yet Mr. Fillmore, and even Mr. Buchanan, have been kind enough to recommend the South to secede from the Union should F nt be elected: and this hint of un- Dushing treason bas now become the watchword of all the noisy Southern democratic fire-eaters, who sweer by the bludgeon of Brooks that slavery shall be forced upon Kansas, or this Union shall be broken to pieces. The exposition given by Mr. Banks of the atrocity and perilous contingencies of the Os- tend manifesto— the sum and substance of which is to make Spain stand and deliver’ the island of Cuba—is as strongly put ae the Kansas question, Upon this point, also, bis general review of our true commercial policy with the West India islands, the South American States, and the great continent of Asia and its dependencies, abounds in suggestions of wise instruction and practical Tn fact, the industrial and com- istics which Mr. Banks has so well iyed to illustrate his general argument. may well challenge the attentive consideration of our wirest stateemen, aryl of all other men interested m to he decided by this statesmanshi n the momentous fe Presidential elr In the aggregate and in detail, from the read- }, thinking. ing man, of whatever party he may be a member. fail to have hie views enlarged and infin- more or lees in behalf of the soundness of y. both foreign and domestic, jon to restore the coun and to an enlarged comm prosperity abroad. How different, in its calm re- rebes for solid facty in ite dignity, mod tion and broad national comprehensive views, is thie speech of Mr. Speaker Banke from the electioneering offerte of the Buchanan and Fill- leaders and orators! In tomparison with «of Wall » appears Mr. Fitlmore's ng of this speech,the pra reason ce at hor more this wholesome lecture to the old fog strcet, how conte scccesion proclamation at Albany—how mean the ame treasoneble insinuations from Mr. Ba- hanan— how stale aad flat the pettifogging let er of Martin Van Buren, in which he attempts reconcile border ruffianiem with popular sovercignty, and secession democracy with free- dom to Kansas! Brought side hy side with this Wall street «pecch for the Union and the consti- tution, such firc-eating secession Buchanan lead- ere as Toombs, Cobb and Jobnson of G Brooke and Keitt of South Carolina, Wise and Floyd of Virginia, and other rabid high prices for niggere ox Union, and all of that fire-eating school, dwindle advocates of dissolation of the down inte little noisy demagoguce and crossroad politicians On the other hand, such shining lights of owy New Y cracy, herd and soft, as Mr. Dix, ng bis own words and refuting hie owr cohes, and Mv, Dickinson, swallowing the ad tration which he hae labored like a good er twe or three years to bring into pub: eropt, and John Van Buren, stoltifying . vnpir J Crew, and ¢ . bs ? & egnal to 4 clota in | the industrious Austrian Jewish honse of Beln the solid strength of the Fremont cause, and the utter rottenness of the spoils democracy. Look. too, at the pitiful meanness of such Fillmore ora- tors as the Hon. David Pau) Browa, rummaging among graveyerds and into the sanctuary of the private family for materia's of abuse against Col. Fremont, and at similiar labors by demo- cratic stumpers; and then observe the courtesy and magnanimity of Mr. Speaker Banks towards his political adversaries, and it will be seen to which party the merit of decency belongs. In the course of his speech, and in reference to the origin of our great commercial traffic with San Francisco, Mr. Banks pays a high compli- ment to Fernando Wood. Mr. Fillmore and Mr. Buchanan, on their return from Europe, it is tue, did net omit an allusion to the world-wide popularity of our Mayor and bis efforts in the way of corporation reform; but a compliment at this time, from the Speaker of the House of Representatives at Washington, to a leader in this city of the Buchanan democracy, is a mark of courtesy for which we may look in vain to demo- cratic or Know Nothing orators for an example. Indeed, the Know Nothing doorkeeper of the hants’ Exchange refused to grant bis per- sion to the Speaker to speak from the portico of that temple of righteousness: and the exclu sive Wall street organ of Mr. Buchanan has heartily approved this contemptible specimen of partizan malignity. But the speech is none the worse for having been delivered without the consent either of the Fillmore doorkeeper or the Buchanan Wall street organ. It is @ speech which will do much good for the good cause of Fremont and constitutional government, and we especially commend it to the calm attention of all men of all parties who believe that the salva- tion of the Union does not depend upon the intreduction of slavery into Kansas by fire and sword. ANOTHER Stop rrom THe Sovrt.—Notwith- standing the,meanness of the Nouthera editors, and the empty pride of Southern politicians, there is a great vein of good sense and generosity among the Southern people—both non-slave- holders and slaveholders—out of the ranks of party hacks. Since we took hold of Col. Fremont for the Presidency, our patronage in the South has inereased in the same ratio as it ever did. We Lave received a few stops, not yet amounting to a dozen. Some of them are rather amusing in their way. It seems, however, that the following personage hae bad his paper stopped without bis consent Buzavern Ciry, Sept. 22, 1858. 1.

I received it pretty regularly to witbia a few days, Now, what i# the cause that 1 co not getit? Dama your paper and you, too; but, since I paid for it, 1 would like to Dave it reguiarly—only for the news. yg J. A. HARNEY, Col. Harney, though evidently « five-eater, is a sensible man at bottom, and. for all his political prejudices, does not want to be without the news. With the exception of the editors and the politi- cians, the Southern people generally read a}! the news in the Henan, and when they have nothing else to do, they sometimes look over the politics, But yenerally they leave these till after election. The truth is, we never pretended to amy exclusive friendship for the South or its institutions, more than any other section ot the country. Our great pride is the constitution, and whatever rights the South enjoys under it we wil] support. We owe little yratitude to the South, or its people: for it has supported us less than any other section of the country: and certainly the editors and politicians have been more vindictive, violent, abusive aud uajast toward us than any other men in the United States. We will except some of the politicians of South Carolina, who were modelled on the manly school of John C. Calhoun. The editors and politicians of old Virginia are the meanest set of men we have met with in our editorial ex- perience of thirty years. They have abused us, one and all, from Governor Wise down, in their journals and on the floor of the House, w beg: ving fawors from our correspondents and repor- ters, Governor Wise himself, the editors of the Richmond Enquirer, Bocock and Faulkuer have all conducted themselves towards the New Youk Herap in the meanest and most malignant man- ner, for men who had any clair te be considered gentlemen. We could instance more politicians in Georgia, North Curolina, and other States who have acted in the same manner, 1’ al abuse throughout the Southern journals has been show- ered upon us, while we were supporting the mea- sures they called exclusively their own. Yet in stating these facts, disereditable as they are to the organs of public opinion in the South, we discriminate between them and the great mas of slaveholders and citizens of the South who are not slaveholders, The Southern politicians ore the poorest specimens of public men and states men that we have seen in fifty years: how di nerate from the time of Jefferson, Madi-on, and Calhoun even! The present contest evhibit< them in their natural characteristics, violeut mean, malignant, denuneiatory, and sometin raffianly. and we have no doubt that there are of generous people ameag the Souther who would gladly rend the censorship that en- slaves them, and poll an honest vote for Fremont Why will they not exhibit some specimen of their moral and physical courage in time for the ides of November? We understand that t crisis the immaculate Caleb Cush ing is as busy as a rat in a cheese barrel —that he is working day and night in scattering broadcast in various languages, the latest fabrications against the character of Fremont and his father and mother, Cushing. indeed, as we are inform ed, is the great manufacturer, ond hit active brain the great laboratory where fist of the dirty libele and landers against Fremont have originated, A principal branch offies, we are told, is the financial office of Angust Belmont, the agent of the Rothechilds, in William str w York. where, it is said, the most atrocious of these de- mnocratic libel Fremont may be bad in Germon, by the package, at half price. pears, teo, that from the principal magazine under Cushing at Washington, down to all the of that concern, they are now industriously om ployed in despatehing all over Pennsylvania the documents supposed to be most useful to Fremont « cheat, a defaulter, a traitor, « th bastard, # Catholic and a cattle stealer. upot It ap b-oficws a Know Nothing, a coward Somebody ought to sapply & Co. with Mr. Buchanan's sworn testimony behalf of Fremont Imont hae become » believer in what Mr, Buchanan says, ever since that conference at Ostend ft Parse s vht to aw litte merey with fi ue ast $1f apiece) of the y* ‘ « We do want a revolution in the South, Tax Maxveraury.-—A prodigious little fyes has teen makiog in all the boles and o@rners and among all the small politicians in relation to the candidates for the office of Mayor of this magqifi- cent city. The nomination of Fernando Wood by the regular Democratic Convention at Tam- many Hall appears to have started all the little cliques and ambitious coteries in the city in that direction. Among the democracy the contest for ibe Mayoralty, after the nomination of Judge Parker for Governor, became a fight for the most influemtj tion in “Mie, administration of Mr. Buchanan; im care he should be elected. Mayor Wood having accomplished the position of master spirit in the party, meant to keep it. But the late Mr. Shepard, and anumber of other persons equal- ly ambitious, combined to oust hima from his com- manding position by defeating bis nomination. ‘The contest was interesting and vigorous, but very quickly decided. Fernando Wood, a poli- tician of unmitigated pluck and intelligence, met all the combinations formed against him—smash- d thera up in the General Committee—carvied his nomination in all the conventions, and gained an overwhelming Waterloo victory. He is, there- fore, the master spirit of the democracy here; and we have the very best reasons for believing that if Mr. Bucbenan is elected, he will consider Mr. Wood as the chief reliance and defence of the new administration in this quarter, These movernents among the leaders of the de- mocraey, ending with the vietory of Mayor Wood, ve set all the little cliques and twaddlers in the ‘y at their wit’s end; and they are rinning about totally ignorant what course to pursue; they are like so many chickens with their heads lopped off, not knowing whether they will bring up inthe kitehen or the kennel. The first of these cliques of malcontents puts in nomination for Mayor ex-Alderman Libby. Now, who is ex- Alderman Libby? He is, we believe, a very good hotel keeper—excellent at cooking a steak or keeping the kitchen maids in order —but he made a very bad Alderman, and a worse bead of the Sixth Avenue Railway. By nature, by educa- tion. by capacity. he is unqualified to be Mayor of this city. He has. we are inform. ed, promised to contribute several thousand dollars to the support of a sickly sheet owned by & Mr. Meintire, for the purpose of aiding it in stirring up dissensi and quarrels in bis own party. and assailing the conquering Wood. It will amount to nothing. It is only a flash in the pan. If Mr. Libby really intends to enter this contest be had better make his will, settle his conscience and see about the proper materials for his tombstone. Another little fusilade for the honers of the Mayoralty has been made by Mr. Genin. Now Genin is excellent at making hats and cleaning Broadway at a pinch; but can these qualifies tions be considered sufticient to prove his ability to discharge the multifarious duties of Mayor of this city? Genin has procured a set of twaddlers, headed by « Mr. Twaddle, to put him in nomina- tion, calling the movement wn expression of the sentiments of the hatters aod other workingmen. Bat it seems to us that Genin wonld do well to confine bis energies to the adorning of the outside of the head, as it dees not clearly appear that he is sufficiently well furnisbed ‘ide to be Mayor of this great city under the present cirenm- stances, . But this is not A. A set of old fogies, call- ing themselves reformers, have been urging ex- Mayor Havemeyer and Judge Whiting to stand in opposition to Wood. Mr. Havemeyer, like a man of sense, peremptorily declined. Judge Whiting refusee nothing in the way of honors or emoluments that he ean get: but as these reform- ers can offer him no chance of an election, we doubt whether he will give up his present po: tion on the bench of the Supreme Court for this impossible chance at the Mayoralty. These re- formers are the most unmitigated old hurbugs. They have already reformed the old charter into the present bydra-headed system, by which that splendid financier and wonderful cconomist, phi- losopher Flagg. has contrived in three ineveare the taxes of this city from three to over seven millions per annum. They are a set of the wost unmitigated hyp vecrites and political hum- huge that ever deceived an honest and contiding people, Their leadere were members of the broken down Albany Regency, and they came to this city to fasten themeelves upon our fat treasury, in order to feast upon the spoil. The consequence ix that our municipal taxes have more than doubled under three year of their charter. There may be many things about Mayor Wood which people object to. We have nothing to de with his old private transactions. As a public man he has exhibited a capacity for government that may be of great service to the city for ano- ther term of two years, He candidly admits that we to he bas vot carried out all his promised reforms: but alleges, and it must be admitted with some plansi that the atrocious character of the present form of the city mt limits him in his power and capacity at every point which be attempts to: make, and every practical whieb he atterpts to originate, His nomination and election are identified with en entire reform in the city government with the edoption of a new charter of a practical and nsefal character, in the place of the present meny-headed. unmanagable For that elone his election would be a measure system, blessing to the city, and for that alone he de- serves the suffrages of every citizen.

Nor are these awful suggestions con- fined to the case of Botts, Hon.

Let us hope that Mr. Davis has saved his bacon by getting back to Maryland as fast as pos- sible. Let us hope that this Jacobin reign of terror in Kansas, in Virginia and the South will soon be brought to an end. Let us work for the election of Fremont, and to save our country from universal disgrace. THe Vioieser of rue Disuntonisrs.— Nothing has been more peculiarly characteristic of the manner in which this Presidential campaiga has been carried on by the Buchanan and Fillmore parties than the violence, brutality and rowdyism which have been brought to bear for the defeat of Fremont. On Thursday, as our reporters tell us, the Buchanan men bired some poor lunatic to get on a chair and chatter at the top of his lungs, in the vicinity of the place where Mr. Banks was ~pMaking; in order of course either to drown Mr. Banks’ voice, or to divert the attention of his hearers by exhibiting aridiculous, though a pain- fl spectacle. This was no isolated case. Over and over again, we bear of Fremont meetings be- ing interrupted by rowdies, of Fremont flags be- ing cut down, or soiled, or concealed behind rival flage, of Fremont speakers being insulted and threatened. We never hear that Fillmore or Buchanan men have been molested, or their po- litical operations interfered with; the victims of this new outburst of rowdyism are always the partisans of Fremont. Nor does it stop here. From the beginning of this canvass to the present day, the private char- acter of James Buchanan and Millard Fillmore have never once been attacked or questioned. Heaven knows that it was not for want of room for cavil; but such has been the course of events, and such the policy of the Fremont party, that never once has any speaker or leading newspaper uttered a word in disparagement of the private life, or thrust a profane hand into the persona) secrets of either of the disunionists, Buchanan or Fillmore. Whereas we challenge the best read student of American his- tory—and our own experience is net slight—to produce a single instance in which a candidate for any oftice in the gift of the people was ever so mercilessly abused or so seandalously slandered as Col. Fremont has been by the presses in the interest of Fillmore and Buchanan. He has been called a peculator, a coward, a traitor, a liar, a perjurer, a bypoerite, a mountebank, an insolvent; his morals, bis character. his religion, his educa- tion, his birth, his habits, his means have been vehemently abused: his father has been attacked, his mother has been traduced, his wife has been sneered at, his whole family, kitb, kin and econ- nections have been assailed. Nor is this all. Here in these States. there is an old idea that people should be allowed to «peak and think and write as they please. The nearest approach to a hindrance of liberty of speech. tolerated here, is Captain Rynders’ late plan of setting a madman ona chair to talk against a speaker. But in other States the plan is different. In Virginia, the Buchanan party exile an obnoxious speaker. In the same Vir- Fa old politicians like Botts and Davis are threatened with lynching for saying as much as that they think the Union will survive Fremont’s election ; and the editors of such papers as the Richmond = Enquirer siviek for the names of Fremont electors in Vir- xiniag that they may be denounced aod mobbed. In South Carolina, the editors eall in like manner for the names of any who are “re- ereant to the South, in order that they may be dealt with as the public safety commands” At Washington. in fine, Brooke of South Carolina half kills Mr. Sumner with « bludgeon: and in Kansas, the same doctrines are carried oat by the vame party with fire, sword, slaughter, rapine and blood. Everywhere the same story. The disunionists supporting Buchanan and Fillmore, with noise, threats, Imllyings, blackguardism, appeals to brute force, and scandalous lies: the supporters of Fremont alone setting the example of mode- ration, calm tidelity to the constitation, reliance onthe law, What does this mean? What ean it mean, but that the disunionists see that power is passing away from them, see that the election is lost, and -eek 10 assuage their rage and apite by a denial of the laws they have so long obeyed, and childish, senseless, ridiculous appeals to force? What if a dozen men are beaten or killed, as many more traduced, a few tlags soiled, & few good Southerners mobbed, and a speaker or two silenced? Will Fremont, think you, be aay the less elected? And will the bravoes and the bullies, the blusterers and the Bobadils—in fine, the Brookses of both sections. will they feel any the more comfortable after November?
