President Pierce left Washington yesterday morn- ‘ing en route for Concord, N. H. He reached Jersey i] City about nine o'clock last evening, where he was met by some two orthree dozen of his adherents, and escorted to the Astor House. There was no re- ‘eeption—no Empire Club, no military—not even a deputation of Sachems from Old Tammany. It is reported that the President has been for some time subject to attacks of ague, but we venture to say he was never s0 completely chilled as on his arrival last night. ‘The death of Mr. Taber, editor of the Charleston } 48. ©.) Mercury, in a duel with a Mr. McGrath, an- rT t pounced in our telegraphic despatch, is probably owing, directly or indirectly, to a series of very per- sonal and bitter attacks which, within afew days past, have appeared in that paper, signed “A Nollifier,” and applied tothe Hon. A. J. McGrath, who is up for office in place of Wm. Aiken, who de- lined a re-election. The Mr. McG. who fonght with Mr Taber is a brother of the candidate for Congress. In another port of to-day’s paper will be found some important and conclasive documents from California overthrowing the charges mode against Colonel Fremont for his conduct while Military Governor of that Territory, in the purchase of cat- tle, &c.; also a correspondence, in which he modest- xplains this and other matters which have beert misrepresented. We also give some of the off-hand ~“wpeeches in the California State Conveation, which are equally interesting, and are honorable testimo- nials trom the Colonel's friends and comrades of his courage, eagacity and ability. The last twodays were stormy; but last night it eulminated ina young hurricane that swept over the city, doing no little damage to trees, loose awn- a ings, window shutters and other frail gear. The’ tides in the river rose, and the cellars in the neigh borhood of the docks were overflowed. There is much danger that the railroad tracks in the vicinity of the city will be damaged by the storm, and serions apprebensions are entertained that the ship- ping now due will suffer shipwreck. So far as the ity is concerned, it will be benefitted by the storm, as it will do something towards cleaning the streets and purifying the air. The case of the Frenchmen charged with swia- @ing the Northern Railroad Company, of France, came up before Judge Davies, of the Supreme Court, yesterday, when an order was issued holding the dedendants to bail i the sum of $500,000 each. As illetrating the manner in which fluancial ope- ‘rations are conducted by the Parisians, we publish elsewhere in our colamns an interesting history of stockjobbing in Paris, and of the way fortunes are made and ruined on the Bourse. The Board of Ten Governors met yesterday, and abolished the offices of Clerk of the Lunatic Asylam and Clerk of Bellevne Hospital. M¥asra. Johnson, Hardaway, Burrall, Hasse, Campbell, Baist and McEwen were named by the Medical Board for ju- nior assistant physicians. There are now 5,828 per- fons in the institutions under charge of the Board— a decrease of 46 since last week. By reference elsewhere to the report of the pro- ecedings yesterday before the Harbor Commi .sion- ers, it will be seen that the subject is being agitated of a new street alovg the entire East river shore of jrooklyn, as also establishing the East river boun- lines between Kings, Queens and New York onnties. Under the proper head we give the particulars of murderous as«aulta committed last evening, one with a pistol, in Cedar street, and the other with a slutg shot, in Chambers street, near the theatre. It seems inconfprebensible that these outrages could be committed at an early period of the evening, in fre- queated thoroughfares, and yet the perpetrators ef- fert their escape. Yet such is the fact. steamship City of Philadelphia, Captain Me- Gowan, which was slightly disabled on the ni ght of the 26th ult.. when on her passage from Havana to New York, arrived in aafety last eveving. The Rhode Island republican and American State Conventions met at Providence yesterday, and united upon a ticket for Presidential electors. The sales of cotton yesterday embraced about 1,000 @ 1,200 bales, the market closing firm. The tow baving failed to arrive, combined with the in- clemency of the weather, had a tendency to check sales of breadstuffs. Flour was solid to a moderate extent at about the previous day's prices.

NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1856. The Three Parties in this Contest—Which ls the Sectional Party? The Wall street organ of Mr. Buchanan—the Journal of Commerce—in its issue of yesterday announces that “the merchants of the city of New York, and the public generally, who are attached to the constitution and the Union and opposed to the organization of parties on a sectional basis, are invited to attend a public meeting in front of the Merchants’ Exchange, on Thursday, the 2d of October, at half-past 3 P.M., to hear ex-Governor Floyd, of Virginia, on the political issues of the day.” In this connection our Wall street cotemporary refers to the exist- ing sectionalism in this contest, and publishes the warnings and admonitions of Washington’s Fare- well Address against sectional parties, and “ every attempt to alienate any one portion of our coun- try from the rest, or to enfecble the sacred ties which now link together its various parts.” The wisdom and the patriotic solicitude of these wholesome admonitions of the Father of his Country are always in season. Applied to this Presidential contest, the question—which is the sectional party ?—becomes an issue of the gravest moment, We presume that Governor Floyd will address himself calmly and argumentatively to this subject. He is a man of talents and educa- tion, and, from his superior capacities as a public speaker, no doubt he has been detailed by the democracy of Virginia to illuminate our fellow- citizens upon the cohesive principles of modern democracy. In the interval, however, with all the essential facts before us, we propose to inquire, and briefly herein to show, which of the three parties in this contest is the sectional party—the party obnox- ious to the warning voice of Washington. We agree with Gov. Wise that “this is no time for trifling;” but while he is urging preparations for disunion and civil war, our maxim is, “Come now, and let us reason together;” let us search for the truth; let us “prove all things,” and, rejecting that which is false, “hold fast to that which is good.” It isin this spirit of reason, truth and argu- ment that we now take up this question—which is the sectio arty in this contest? There is a spirit of ‘jonalism—intense sectionalism— somewhere, at war with the teachings of Wash- ington, and with the constitution, and with the great inalienable popular rights of free speech, a free press, and “the right of the people peaceably to assemble” in the discussion of public affairs; and it is of the very highest moment that every citizen of the republic should know which is the guilty party. Is it the Fillmore party? To the extent of Mr. Fillmore’s secession speech at Al- bany it is; but otherwise, this extraordinary or- ganization is rather a sectarian faction than a sectional party. It is founded upon the meanest, bloodiest and most diabolical of all the black catalogue of human abominations—the base in- stincts and savage prejudices of religious in- tolerance, bigotry and fanaticism. The sum and substance of its creed is, down with the Pope, down with the Jesuits, down with the Catholics, down with the Irish and Germans, and all aliens, down with the constitution, and up with a Pro- testant inquisition and a general persecution, political, religious and social, azainst every man who cannot pass the ¢ross-examination of our secret lodges. Mr. Fillmore himself, is a Unitarian—a disbe- liever in the vital principles of christianity; but rather a sympathizer with the teachings of Tom Paine. In Rome he did as Romans do—he re- spected the observances of their religion, and sought the good will of Pope, Cardinals and Jesuits. Returning home, he instantly threw himself into the arms of this anti-Popery, native Know Nothing, sectarian faction—this base-born faction of desperat¢ demagogues, unscrupulous adventurers, and reckless rufians; and he con- tinues to stand in the debasing and ridiculous po- sition of their candidate for the Presidency of the United States. Mr. Fillmore, then, is the sectarian candidate, and his party is this Know Nothing sectarian faction, utterly repugnant to every idea of constitutional rights, religious liber- ty and the social decencies of civilized society. But apart from this distinctive Know Nothingism, standing, as Mr. Fillmore does in the South, in ¢ Nebraska bill, and in the North tu Nebraska bill, we can hardly style hima sectional candidate, unless it be of the double-breasted and two faced description. We are in pursuit of the sectional candidate and party per excellence. Let us next inquire into the structure and position of the great popu- lar and spontaneous Fremont party, Its first clements were drawn frem that incipient popular revolution against this Pierce administration and its corrupt and disorganizing foreign and domes- tie policy. With the appointment of Mr. Pierce’s Cabinet the great democratic party of 1852 was seentially destroyed. The old whig party was destroyed with his election. From the loose materials of these two old parties, the nucleus, the frame, and the blood, muscle and bones of this great Fremont party have been drawn. It was an incongruous, indefinite and impracticable party until the wicked, demoralizing and infa- mous doings of this Pierce administration and the Atchison and Jef. Davis democracy developed it nto a practical shape. The independent press, in view of the necessi- ties of this crisis, first suggested this popular Fre- mont movement, by bringing forward Fremont vimself as the man for the occasion. Subse- quently two conventions—each of a different party, one in Philadelphia and the other in New York—simultaneously nominated Fre- mont upon a new platform, strictly consti- tutional and national, but boldly and pointedly in opporition to the democratic administration policy of making of Kansas a slave State by bal- lot stuffing, border ruffianism and the United States dragoons; and thus commenced the definite organization of this new Fremont republican party. in the North it has so rapidly prospered as to overshadow, from Maine to Towa, all other par- and now, in epite of democratic mobs, e pionage, and an invisible but supreme sectional deepotiem revolting to think of, this new popular party is invading the South, and cannot, even by all these appliances of sectional terrorism, be sup- preseed The only point upon which Fremont and his powerful party can be called sectional is the point of declared hostility to the establishment of slavery in Kansas ly force of arms, Nor can we discover the slightest sectionalism in a Territorial policy which would substitate the constitution and the law in place of ballot stuffing, spurious Legislatures, spurious laws, border ruffians and the United States army. The Fremont platform, the solid conservative masses of the Fremont party, the antecedents and public history of Fremont— known the wide world over—and the whole con- duct of this campaign by the Fremont journals and speakers, of all parties, all nations, all lan- guages, all eects and all sections, leave not the slightest ground for the accusation of sectarian- ism or sectionalism against the Fremont republi- can party or their candidate. « Where, then, can we fasten this odious charge of a sectional and geographical organization, but upon the democratic party and the democratic candidate? Why was poor Pierce so igno- miniously set aside at Cincinnati? It was be- cause he had so debauched himself and tke party with that intense pro-slavery sectionalism of Jeff. Davis and Atchison that they could use him no longer. Why was Mr. Buchanan taken up? Because his skirts were comparatively clean—he could prove an alibi; and yet they gagged him, and tied him hand and foot to tle same altar. Nay, worse than this: he is not only hound to continuethe policy of Pierce in Kansas, but he is publicly held to that Ostend manifesto, and publicly proclaimed as sure to make it good by stealing Cuba, at all hazards, and Mexico be- rides, for the benefit of a vast and separate pro- _ ected Southern confederacy. Thus far Mr. Buchanan is clearly a sectional andidate. But we cannot stop here. The pre- tences of nationality of the corrupt party sup- porting him are false pretences, One fact is worth a cart load of mere professions and pre- tences, The acts of this democratic administra- tion and the Cincinnati platform—which includes Atchison and the Ostend manifesto—are facts which fix the sectionalism of this party; but the worst feature of this bitter sectional warfare upon Fremont has been too much overlooked. The con- stitution lives in the North, like a flourishing tree, under whose amplitude of shade men of all parties and all sections may freely assemble together. In the South, State laws, Jacobin clubs and Judge Lyuch have almost universally stifled the freedom of the press and free speech, and abolished that sovereign “right of the people peaceably to assem- ble” for the discussion of their grievances. At this moment, there is as m#@ch real popular po- litical liberty in Rome, St. Petersburg, or Pekin, as in Richmond, Charleston, or New Orleans. The alien and sedition laws, which hurled the elder Adams and the old federal party from power into public disgrace, were humane and li- beral compared with the revolting democratic se- cession terrorism which now silences the voice of the press and the voice of the free thinking man throughout the South. Democratic, we say, for this spurious modern democracy governs the South, makes its laws, visible and invisible, and executes them. This, then, is the sectional party—the Buchanan democracy. It subverts the constitution in the South, lynches or exiles the man who dares to speak or print, except by a gracious permission; and then, with an impudence which approaches the sublime, it pleads its nationality, denounces the North as sectional, and comes among usbold- ly threatening to dissolve this Union unless we obey orders and elect Buchanan. But, enough. We hope that Governor Floyd, on Thursday, will enlighten us on the difference between free speech in Wall street and the absence of free speech in Richmond. Our opinion is that that party which puts an embargo upon free speech and a free press, and free assemblages of the peo- ple, in fifteen States of the Union, is a sectional party, in the most odious and intolerable form. We also think that it becomes insufferable when it threatens to demolish the Union unless it can le secured in the spoils by the votes of :the free North. Will Governor Floyd be good enough to en- lighten us upon this subject? for here in New York we have no Governor Wise to threaten us with a Kaneas slavery code if we say anything alculated to impair the price of niggers. Yours, Most Graterutiy.—Our cotemporary, Pareon Jo Scoville, of the Register, digs out cf obecurity a paragraph from a Sunday paper called the Dispatch—a paper which has been, for some time, we understand, making discreditable, mean and sneaking allusion to ns, personally, in variqus ways. The Dispatch is not of much ac- count, having the smallest circulation and character among the Sunday journals—none of which has much of either. The imprint gives the names of Williamson & Burkhardt as editors and conductors. Of Williamson we know nothing. Burkhardt, we believe, has been better known in a certain connection which he has heretofore maintained to a certain portion of the press of this city, particularly the Sunday portion of it. For many years Burkhardt has been one of those who are known as “oyster house critics,” furnishing little paragraphs on musical matters to the lowest jourmals about town, and picking up frem two to five dollars from editors and unfortunate artists as he best could. Recently he lms formed a matrimonial alliance with a highly respectable lady, who had estab- lished, and kept for some years, a very distin- guished seminary for young ladies somewhere in Fifteenth street—Mrs. Mears by name. We have formerly, on many occasions, written and pub- lished commendations of this well conducted school, managed by Mrs. Mears exclusively. Per- haps these mean, sneaking, ungentlemanly and contemptible personal attacks on our private af- fairsy published under the responsibility of Burk- hardt, may be considered grateful returns made by her new husband, after the exhaustion of the honeymoon, for the many commendations we have given to her excellent establishment in its former sunny days. Who can tell? Joux M. Borts 4 Great Maw at Last.—We have known John Minor Botts . good many years, and we have always seen him bestir him- self actively at Presidential elections, as if he wanted to be somebody. But we never knew him near succeeding until now. At this time, the Richmond nigger driving organs are making him a great man by their a] and their attempts to ostracise him. Botts ls brave and will fight— perhaps better than the democrats, He will not be turned out of Virginia so easily. In the mean- time, as the South returns to common sense, Botts will be seen figuring as the champion of that article in Virginia, against the nonsensical eecessionists, and will without doubt become the leading man of the South. If he has intellectual calibre, four years hence, Botts may be the great man of the Southerm States; and it will be the doing of the Richmond democrats and Gov- ernor Wise. Serrime SMart Barances.—Our amiable co- temporary, Colonel Pluck, of the Prening Mirror —cireulation 350 per diem—cannot forego his natural and original instincts, We thought we bad made a permanent treaty of peace, alliance and friendship with the redoubtable Colonel, and we have frequently taken occasion to comply with the conditions appertaining to us. But we find it is no go. He returns to his old habit of retailing disreputable personalities and discredi- table allusions to us, in reference to certain city nominations; and this demands immediate settle. ment. Colonel Pluck, thie is the firet warning, The State of Society in France. Monsieur de Tocqueville, in his recent work on the Old Regime im France, confesses that he entertains the most gloomy apprehensions with regard to the future of France. The disclosures rade by the French prisoners Carpentier and Grelet, now in confinement on a charge of having run away with the funds of the Northern Railway Company, are not calculated to lead to a different impression. These young men, whose claims to the title of great financiers appear to be very slender indeed, have beyond a doubt fallen vic- tims to-the prevailing extravagance of living in France, combined with the prevdf!ing looseness with which financial business is transacted. Men of their standing, earning small salaries and per- forming duties which can never occupy their minds or engross their intellect, are placed in a position in which the want of money is their first, their keenest necessity; they desire to live well, to dress, to drive, to dine at good houses, to keep up an acquaintance in the Quartier Notre Dame de Lorette, to appear at the Bourse; their friends do all these things, and not to do them is to con- sign oneself to obscurity: their own salary for a year will not suffice for a month of such a life but they have in their hands, under their control, unchecked, uncounted, thousands or hundreds of thousands. To resist such a temptation requires virtue indeed. The example of all who surround them tends to encourage their proclivity tocrime. They see the president and directors of railways, bank managers, and financiers of every stripe, whose utter insolvency they always suspect and often know positively, living expensively, spending for- tunes, and leading the ton and style of Paris. Nay, looking higher still, they see the Emperor and his court, picked out of the gutters only a year ago, and now plunging into the most reck- lees extravagance, pouring out money like water, and living as though they were born princes and their means had no limit. It seems that the wretched young men who are now in prison threaten, if they are sent back to Paris, to turn State’s evidence upon their employ- ers, and to play the part of Samsons in a new Gaza. We apprehend that however much the Philistines may be frightened by the menace, it will hardly answer any purpose here; but still we should not be surprised if it had a better founda- tion than mere bravado. There is no question but that the Credit Mobilier is one of the most nefarious, and will prove one of the most fatal engines of destruction ever contrived by the- in- genuity of man. New Yorkers, who are used to see stocks rise and fall rapidly enough, can have no hesitation in pronouncing upon the charac- ter of an enterprise whose scrip fluctuates from 500 francs to 1,500, again to 422, and again to 1,650, in the course of about thirty months. We know that such rises and falls are not the fruit of natural causes, And when the French prisoners tell us that on realizing a handsome profit, the directors of the Credit Mobilier would announce a loss, and bear the stock in every way, honest and dishonest, till they had brought its price down to the lowest ebb, when they would suddenly buy in, declare a dividend of about fifty per cent more than they had earned, pay it to themselves, inflate the stock and sell out—when, we repeat, we hear these stories, and see the corroborating facts in the records of the Bourse, we cannot ‘hink they are without founda- tion. Norcanthe reports of the French railroads be examined without similar misgivings, These French prisoners tell us that the Northern, the Orleans, and all the leading roads of France, are conducted in the most fraudulent manner; and that money is invariably borrowed or obtained by sales of stock to pay dividends. How do the facts stand? These roads, running at an average of 24 to 2} cents per mile per passenger, pay 15, 20 and 22 per cent per annum. Is such a thing possible—especially in a country like France, where the natives hardly éver travel? Railroad men will be apt to reply in the negative. In a word, if only a portion of what these young men say be true, mercantile France is in a most deplorable state, and a financial crisis can- not be long postponed. Fraud, lies, and deceit seem to lie at the bottom of every commercial and financial combination ; everybody in the Empire is cheating his neighbor, and, as a neces- sary consequence, cheating himself in the long run. Everybody is living above his means, from the Emperor to the waiters at cafés, and consequently everybody must break, sooner or later. We would not attach so much impartance to these statements were they not confismed from other sources, As it is, we regard them as trust- worthy, and consider that they may be safely summed up in the sentence that France is on the eve of a crash only second to that of 1789. Wao wits. Stump Virnorsta ror Fremont ?— To-morrow afternoon Governor Floyd, of Vir- ginia, is to speak to our merchants at the Ex- change. We need not say that he will have a respectful and an attentive hearing. If any one attempts to interfere with his audience or his oratory—as Captain Rynders did when Mr. Banks spoke—we hope and know that the fellow will be settled promptly and handed over to the police. New York will hear all that Governor Floyd has to say about Buchanan, and dear ne- groes, and Cuba, and the dissolution of the Union, and the mode in which the Treasury is to be seized by the South Carolina Quattlebums. At the same time, we submit to Governor Floyd whether, after having spoken here, it would not be fair for him to introduce some Fre- mont speaker to his people at Richmond, Va., in order that they, too, may hear both sides of the question. We are satisfied that every gallant Virginian would be delighted to lend a hand to such evidence of fair play and free speech. And, in the anticipation of Governor Floyd's offer to conduct the republican speaker to the tribune at Richmond, we call upon the republican party to produce their very best man, the bravest, the truest and the ablest they have, to go and make a Fremont speech in the heart of Virginia, under the nose of Governor Wise. Mr. Banks’ Sreecn ty Watt Srreet.—The political economists of the Journal of Commerce are terribly alarmed at the good sense and popu- larity of the recent speech of Mr. Speaker Banks, delivered from the Merchants’ Exchange, in Wall street. Both the editors and the correspondents of that sleepy concern are endeavoring to point out flaws and fish up errors in the speech. One of there pundits asserts that Mr. Banks stated that the foreign commerce and shipping trade of this country is equal or superior to that of Eng- land. The blockhead of the Journal of Commerce makes the mistake of supposing that the speaker alluded to the exports and imports, while Mr. Banks clearly, explicitly and fully referred toour commercial marine, which, as every sensible man knows, is equal to and a little ahead of that of Fn piord. Try cgay, goplpmen, Cares Cusine Nor so Bap Arrer ALL.—We have seen a letter written by the Hon. Caleb Cushing—one of the members of the Cabinet— and addressed to the Hon. James D. Westcott, formerly United States Senator from Florida, in which Mr. Cushing respectfully declines the honor imputed to rim of cireulating German documents in favor of Bughanan’s election. The statement -origithlly proceeded from Captain Gibson, th famous navigater who gave so much trouble to Marcy and B4!mucat in the early history of the present ation, Captain Gibson was probably dre of his earl love at Welte- vreden and his rmantic pe from the Dutch authorities of Jaya when idea flashed across his mind, and he mistook it tor a fact. The German dogiments that are circulating over the country proo-ed principally from the branch house of the Rothschilds in Wall street, which is under the superintendence and corres- pondence of Aveust Belmont. Vast quantities are circulated ‘rom that depository among the rank and file of the German popnilation. We do not wish to offend Mr. Cushing, because we have a very correct estimate of his great ca- pacity, his wonderful learning, his immense stock of erudition, and his moderate stock of commgn sense. He is an amiable man, and can bute’ through a mountain of mystery or obloquy as successfully as the railroad managers in’ Massa- chusetts can bore a hole through the mountains of Berkshire, It is highly probable that Mr. Cushing takes very little interest in the success or defeat of Mr. Buchanan, as it is more than likely he will retire from public life at the termi- nation of Pierce’s unfortunate four years of office, without any prospect of re-entering it, unless Jefferson Davis should happen to effect a disso- lution of the Union, erect a Southern republic, become the President thereof, and need an able lawyer and a comprehensive historical writer to do up his despatches, as Mr. Cushing has done during his present official residence in Wash- ington. Moyicrpat Poxrtics.—The local politics of this city have been taking a more intricate phase than at any previous election. The Presidential ticket will be run and supported without any reference to the corresponding State ticket for Governor and the nominations for Mayor and other county and city officers. For instance, the Fremont electoral ticket will take thousands and thousands more city votes than will be given to the black republican State and city nominations, There are many thousands of naturalized citi- zens—Germans and others—who will vote for Fremont, but who will not touch any local or State ticket put forth by the black republican rascals, Then, again, the Fillmore electoral ticket will be strong in Wall street and that neighborhood—stronger perhaps than that of Buchanan—while the rank and file of the Know Nothings will go over to Fremont. What is called the regular democratic State and county ticket will probably far outrun the Know Nothings and republicans, while Buchanan him- self will be sadly behind. There will be an at- tempt to unite the black republicans and Ameri- can republicans—the nigger and Know Nothing vote—upon one candidate for the Mayoralty, but this is an uphill business, and its success is doubtful. On the whole, there is a healthy, independent stateof public feeling—both with the press and people—in relation to the nominees for President, Governor and city officers. Each of the tickets will be judged with great discrimination, and be obliged to stand upon its own merits. Mere party action is crumbling to pieces, and nothing but the intelligence and fitness of candidates can en- sure their success. THE LATEST NEWS. BY MAGNETIC AND PRINTING TELEGRAPHS, From Washington.
