Coma oe Wit The much talked of Ponghkeepsie gathering of Be masses of the democracy of New York and the iver counties, came off yesterday. There was a Mine display, but nothing at all coming up to the expectation of the party. Two-thirds, probably, of Me democrats present, belonged to the city of New York. Senator Hunter, oi Virginia, delivered a very able speech, of which we publish a report, There was no disturbance, and we have not heard of any accident. Mr. Pryor, of the Richmond Lxquirer, ia again we hot water. In consequence of his attacks upon Hon. Jebn M. Botts, a son of that gentieman—B. 2. Botte—har pudlished a card, in which he states, according to our despatch, that Pryor’s conduct nas been bratal, rnfianly and cowardly in the last de- gree, and that physical incapacity has alone pre- wented the infliction of personal chastise nent upoo ‘the ofiender. Young Botts invitee Mr. Pryor toa duel. Another of those disgraceful exhibitions of mod Wislence which have distinguished the preseut poli tleal canvass occurred at Louisville, Ky., on Tues day evening. A Fremont and a Fillmore meeting were held at the same time. At the first name! Qaesius M. Clay commenced an address, but was in- tevrapted by horrid ontcries and burrahs for Pil- more Presently a general fight took place, in the height of whieh Mr. Clay left the ball and proceed- @@ to the place of meeting of the Fillmoreites, where Col.

The Fillmore and Buchanan press ef Louisville scense each other of promoting this @etzage upon the freedom of discussion. ‘The United States sloop-of-war Vandalia, Captain Roberts, arrived at Portemouth, N.

Mr. Strickland denies in the most positive manner that he ever distributed or dealt in the incendiary works which he was accused of weiling; that he had but three in his store, and those were not exposed for sale. The people and authorities of Mobile owe it to their character and the fame of their city to disprove theso a sertione, or they will enjoy an unenviable repu tation.

And we will warn the South that the Alien and Sedition laws, which were laws, and net mob resolutions, killed the party which io- troduced them: let the authors of the new terror- ist system beware! Governor Floyd in Virginia and Govermer Fieyd in Sew York. As ex-Governor Floyd, ot Virginia, is to ex- pound the principles of democracy and the dan- gers of sectionalism in Wall street this afternoon, we republish this morning his late speech in Lynchburg, Va, in order that our readers may be able to compare his views of sectionalism on the South side of Mason and Dixon’s line, aad bis ideas on the North side; for there is @ very gene- ral suspicion abroad that Southern democratic speeches and Northern democratic speeches— even from the same orator—are not exactly the ame article. Mr. Floyd is rather a conspicuous man in Vir- ginia He has been Presidené of a bank, Presi- dent of @ railroad company, a member of Con- gress and Governor of the State. He is an ex- perton democratic principles, powerful on the stump, and a full believer in that fundamental democratic maxim of Marcy, that “ io the victors belong the spoils.” We presume that his argument in Wall street to-day will be founded upon that universal democratic Southern ultimatum of a dissolution of the Union should the Nori de- cline to aid the secessionists in electing James Buchanan as the democratic heir apparent to the spoils at Washington. Ta the meantime, on referring to this late Vir- ginia speech of Governor Floyd, our readers will see that upon this important issue of sectionalism le has declared himself in terms rather caleulated to asionish the lame ducks “on ’Change.” In the very outset Governor Floyd, in this Lynchburg speeeh, calls the speech of Mr. Keitt, of South Carolina, at the same meeting, “a sterling, elo- quent and powerful address.” Mr. Floyd thus fully endorses Mr. Keitt ; for the word “ sterling” signities the genuine thing, the pure article, and, in this connection, the unadulterated cream o/ democracy. Goveruor Floyd thus upon the threshold endorses the declarations of Mr. Keitt, that with the election of Fremont the South will break up the Union—that the Southern man who will sul mit to such election will be “a coward and a traltor;” aud that with the election of Mr. Buchanan the Southern democracy will have the island of Cuba- without mincing matters, tusy will have it—by the simple process of Ue Osteed manifesto, the old filibustering process of going ia and “ wresting it from Spain, if we have theegower.” This was the democracy of Governor Floyd the other day at Lynchburg. He also broadly endorses this wretched Pierce administra- tion, and its disorganising doings, in the lump. He also tells as—we use his own words—that, in this contest, “dw Sowh ix arroyed agains the North; not against Fremont and his party, but against the North—a con- fessed sectional fight on the part of the South. He says further, that “according to the best judip- the wisest men, it looke like an impossibility to This means that the election of mnt is the next thing to a dead certainty; for that is the test upon which disunion is to be tried. Gov. Floyd, in this Lynchburg speech, further says, that there isonly one mode of pre venting disunion, “and that is, by presenting an un- lroken and undivided front throughout the South.” This means that unless every vote of the South is cast for Buchanan he has not the ghost of a ebance, and that his chances are somewhat shaky even in the South. But if the South are rather divided upon the qnestion of Buchanan, oullisi- cation and the spoils, we cannot divine how they are to be consolidated upon secession aud civil war. Will Mr. Floyd explain? Another point in this Lynchburg speech of Mr. Floyd is the charge that ‘no party in the coun- try has been able to withstand the blighting in- fluences of abolitionism, except the cobesive de- mocracy.’ In this charge of abolitionism he thus involves the great Fremont party, when he ought to know better. There is no abolition ism in the Fremont party. It stands upon the high ground of the constitution and State rights, publicly, fairly and equally. It has ever repudiated Seward and his principles, so clear does it stand of any taint of abolitionism. All the sbolitionists of the North put together do not amount. we dare say, to fifty thousand. And i ‘remont and bis party. The Rudicul wnist, the special organ of Gerritt Smith, the abolition, candidate, devotes ite entire Octo- ber number to the enemies of slavery, and in urg- ing them no to vote for Fremont. We give a brief extract to the point:— Toe republican party ie not a party for the deliverance of the free. wunion.”? of (he enslaved, bat only tor the security ia not a party for the black man, Dut only for the whire man it ie wot & party for the rescue of the whol 1 try from the despotem of the slave power, bat on. the rescue of Kaus ue, for There is the case ina nutshell. The Fremont party is the “white man’s party’’—it is neither a nigger party nor a nigger driving party, but man’s party.” Ita policy contem- plates no interference with State rights, ar the stitutional rights of slavery in the Territories. It only aims to quash the democratic ifiers’ policy of making Kansas a slave + by force of arms, and to substitute the constitu- tion as the supreme law. Nothing more. We hope that Governor Floyd will rectify his mirapprebensions upon this theory of abolitionism this afternoon, and explain to us why |i i that tie constitution ie adead letter ia fifteen Swutes of this Union, where the same democratic terror- iem and sectional niggeriom as that of Kansas is fearful to think of, fearful to encounter and supreme—suppressing the highest in- dividual ights and social reciprocities of the constitution. Of late, not anly ie a man’s life unsafe in the South, should be at- tempt to peak for Fremont upon the clearest principles of the constitution and in the most conciliatory way. but Southern firo-caters, for lack of other materials, are beginning to shoot each other. On the other hand, Governor Floyd, this afternoon, will be protected, not only by the broad shield of the constitution, but by the rights of hospitality and the moral sense of the commu- nity. Will he tell, while these common privi- leges of good neighborhood and good faith are in New York thus freely accorded to all men, why they are denied in the South to a majority of the American people?

No! niggere first, and niggers last, Union or no Union! What says Governor Floyd’? Let us hear from Governor Floyd. Caxviparss vor GoVERNOR.—Three candi- dates for the Executive chair of this State have been placed in nomination within the past few weeks, by as many different factions, Mr. John A. King has been put forward by the republi- cans; Mr. Erastus Brooks by the Americans or Know Nothings; and Judge Parker by the democrata These three candidates have been nominated and set ap by three conventions claiming to be the organs of the several parties upholding the three Presidential candidates—Fre- mont, Fillmore and Buchanan, In this Gov- ernor’s election, however, we are satisfied, from the tone of the prese and the people, that there is ne necessary connection with the contest for the Previdency. Erasius Brooke, the candidate of the Know Noihing or American party, is identified with no special line of State policy, unless it be the spoils. He relies entirely upon @ vulgar and ridiculous atiempt to form a party by inciting hostility on the part of members of one religious faith against those of another—the Roman Catholics. The Pope, the Jesuits, the Virgin Mary, the Inquisi- tion, the Immaculate Conception, and Archbishop Hughes—articles which would have been very valuable in the middle ages—have been dug out of their primary formations to make political capital in this enlightened nineteenth century. During the past three years this party, by organ- izing a large number of clubs and councils, and iaking a position of opposition against the Pierce administration and the errors of the old parties, hae contrived to keep up a sort of vitality; but latterly it has been dying out. The new and paramount issues sprung upon the country—the atrocious policy of the administration with re- gard to Kansas affairs—the abolition of the con- stitutional rights of freedom of the press and freedom of discussion in one section of the Union, have entirely crashed out all the trash of this party and decomposed its elements, Brooks, with the Know Nothing nomination, has no chance to get a hundred thousand out of the six hundred thousand votes of this State. The rank and file have already gone over to Fremont. We hear that some of the Fillmore men have been trading and bargaining with the broken up de- mocracy, promising them that if they will aban- don their State ticket they will give the Fill- more vote, as tar as they can manage it, for Bu- chavan, in exchange for the border ruffian de- mocracy support of Erastus Brooks. They are worthy and natural associates, aud will, no doubt, help each other. We say nothing of the atrocious ueachery of the democracy towards their own candidate. ‘The next candidate in the field is John A. King, whose nomination and speech of acceptance were equally astonishing to the greater portion of the people of this State. Mr. King’s political history has always been linked with everything unpopu- lar, detrimental and hostile to the interests of the State. He belongs to asmall puffed up clique, and was long ago consigned to oblivion on Long Island, in consequence of the errors, not only of himsel/, but of those whose blood he boasts runs so purely in his veins. Nota single naturalized voter in this State will ever tolerate the idea of voting for John A. King, for reasons which have been fully laid before them. He was opposed to the nomination of Colonel Fremont, and now merely rans under the manile of his popularity. He was dug out of his distinguished retirement over in Queens county, by that prince of bold, bad, corrupt, scheming, intriguing political huck- sters, Thurlow Weed, whose schemes for spoil< and plunder in the next Legislature and Congress we intend to exhume and develope at our leisure. Mr. John A. King is simply a tool in the hands of speculators, railway stockjobbers and lobby agents, worked by Thurlow Weed, their head and master spirit. The next candidate on the list is Judge Parker. put in nomination by the Buchanan democracy, who affect to support him, although they are even now intriguing and seeking to defeat their candidate for Governor by the bases. treachery, such as abandoning him for Brooke, in order to beg a few more votes for a broken down politi- cian like Buchanan. We do not wonder that the border ruffian democracy are opposed to Judge Parker, really and truly. He is too good for them. He isa fair, honest, upright, honorable man-—one who does not affiliate with any cliques one who will not allow himself to be used or controlled by any speculators, lobby men or stockjobbers. He will, we are persuaded, re- ceive not only all the votes of the inde- pendent democrats who go for Buchanan, but those who are decidedly in favor of Fremont, including the whole naturalized vote of the State. He ie the most popalar, the most competent, and the best candidate, and we call upon every intelligent democrat and every trae friead of Fremont to combine and give their support to Parker, in opposition to the mere tool of Thurlow Weed, or the affected fanatic and poor stick of an editor, Erastus Brooks. Joux M’Kron axp tae Crry Exxenos.— The tremendous John M’Keon, the United States Attorney for this district, who recently cooked up all that rehosh of a epecch at Philadelphia about the Know Nothings, in order to prove his fealty to Buchanan, is, we learn, about prepar- ing to use the same dish bere, in order to break up the only strength that Mr. Buchanan has in this city in the municipal election. John ix a famous fellow for carrying two faces under the same roof in politics, and sometimes he has half a dozen. He goes to Philadelphia under the tuition of Forney, and makes a great effort to obtain the confiience of Buchanan and his friends by piteh- ing into the Know Nothings, and uses the same matter here to break up the enly etrength that Mr. Buchanan has in thie city—we mean the regular nominations put forth by Tammany Hall, for Mayor and other city officers. This ir not all the double dealing in the Buchanan party. While come of the leaders pretend to oppose Wood, because, as they say, he was once favored by the Know Nothings or Americans, they are trying to make a bargain with these same Know Nothings to trade off votes for their State ticket, and thus get a few more votes for Mr. Buchenan, to make ap for what they have lost by their foolish quar- rele in this city. The bogue Convention which nominated Libby and hie clique is in the same boat and managed by the same policy. + If Mr. Bochanan or Forney rely on John MeKeon for eupport, unless they hay fatal mistake with regard to New York politics, three years ago, and the party split in twain, no one was more outrageously indignant than Joho McKeon, and no one was more ready to denounce the President. But John considered the matter over for a couple of months, when, being offered a place, he swallowed his indignation and several thousand dollars per annum at the same breath. It really appears to ws that the democracy of this city and State, with their quarrels, their in- trigues, their bargains and their bitter hostilities, are kindly endeavoring toaid in bringing about the great political revolution which is to sweep the country for Colonel Fremont. We tender them our best thanks for their kindness, giving to John M’Keon the largest share of our grati- tade. More Disuxton—Granp Crasn av rue Aca- pemy—Max Manerzex on tae Srump.—We published yesterday the speech of Mr. Maretzek, late empresario of the Italian Opera at the Aoa- demy of Music. Maretaek’s speech is sensible, wanly, pointed, and with just a nice tinge of a green and yellow melancholy such as Marius might have had when he wept over the ruins of Carthage, or the Sage of Wheatland when he reads the papers on the fifth of November. Max’s retirement is, however, more graceful than that of Caius Marius or James Buchanan. He was defeated, not through his own incompetency —his troops were well drilled—the Udon of the great Conde himself was no more implicitly obeyed than ihat of the indomitable Max—the public smiled, and poured dollars into his trea- sury—but eheu! the stockholders were in the wrong. Like Brooks & Company, who are going to smash the republic if they can’t have every- thing their own way, the stockholders dissolved the union—the “North Star” went under a clond —the Academy was closed—the young ladies in the Fifth avenue wept, and would not be com- forted—while Young New York applied itself with more than usual ardor to its prime con- solers, billiards and brandy and water. Hine ile lachryme. Mr. Maretzek hit the sore point in all operatic speculations in this city. It is that an exclusive class have almost always monopolized the best svats; that this class claims the privilege of keep- ing their seate, whether used for the night or not; and that this class have no real interest in art, but simply come to the Academy as they might go to a ca/é or @ conversazione, to laugh, to lounge, to chat, to show their fine apparel and to scandalize each other. At Astor place—a small house-—this was exceedingly un- pleasant to the paying public, and the paying public quietly let the Opera alone very severely. The consequence was the Opera fell through. The Academy is larger, and the public is not so much annoyed, but the manager is required to pay a rent of twenty-four thousand dollars per annum, and give to the shareholders four hundred do}- lars worth of seats per night. Several managers have tried this, but have lost a great deal or money. The stockholders, with the sagecity of the monkey who used feline paws to extract his chestnuts from the coals, say, “* What fools those fellows are!” while those fellows have been working their brains out to please the share- holders, who really pay nothing. Such is the position of things in Irving place. We sincerely trust that some compromise will be arrived at, and that the season, so far one of unprecedented pecuniary succese, will go on. The city never was so fullasat this time. All our fashionable hotels are crowded to excess; Broad way glitters and shinee with the wealth, the bean- ty and the intelligence of the Union. Our South- ern fellow-citizens and citizenesses, now sojourn- ing with usin great numbers, are exceedingly anxions for the Opera. They desire to go every night this month, and enjoy to the fullest extent this brightening blessing before it takes its flight forever. Forever? Yes, for our Southern friends, seeing that Fremont will be elected, have made arrangements to secede from the Union at sunset on the fifth of November. Then, of course, there will be no more Italian Opera for them; and they can now see by the example at Irving place what a terrible thing disunion on a large scale would be. The difficulty is pressing, and needs some great mind te grasp it. Why not send for the Cheva- lier Wikoff! We all remember how he, with the daring of a Pelissier, the firmness of a Jack- son, the diplomatic skill of a Metternich, stepped in at a critical moment in the history of the Acade my, and rescued it from a tremendous imbroghio, He found Meesrs. Phalen and Coit in a terrible snarl; unravelled them, set them on their legs again, popularized the Opera, and carried it through triumphantly. Now the Opera has ran against another enag, and now it wants a steam- tug, like the Chevalier Wikoff, to tow it off He has lately returned from Europe, and went to Newport for a little quiet retirement, in which he could prepare his forthcoming brochure, which is to smash Lord Palmerston and the British go- vernment generally to atoms, and set Napoleon IU. a peg higher than even Napoleon I. But this will keep for a little while; the danger to Opera is imminent. It must be getting cool at Newport, and the Chevalier is wanted at Irving place. Max must be reinstated. The éuton of the empresario must be again waved over the footlights of the Academy. Our Southern friends must bave another chance at the Opera before they dissolve the Union. They must be allowed to contribute to Max's treasury before they seize that of the United States! Let the “North Star” shine again! Let harmony reign in Irving place! Send for Wikoff! Tae War Broun.-We notice that the South Carolinians have already begun the war. One of their leading men, the editor of the Charleston Mercury, Mr. Taber, has just been shot in a duel. Mr. Taber was a man of talent, and a violent s- cosionist. But he would have blood at al! cost Movements of the President. ‘The President left this city yesterday morning, at eight TRE PRESIDENT AT STRING PIELD.
