Jonex Nicnoias, or Kustccky, ayp Gov. Wise.—The Lousville Journal, of the 8th of October, contains another able article on Union, from the pen of this distinguished gentleman. Speaking of Gov.

Cuay’s Orrvion oF Brcnasan.—Mr, Alexander Cum. mings, who made an able speech in favor of Fre. mont in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, October 2, acsused Buchanan of helping “ to perpetrate tho fraud in 1846, by which Pennsylvania industry was stricken down— ‘a fraud which the gallant Clay remembered to his death, ‘and which he (Mr. C.) had heard Mr. Clay denounce in the bitterest, yet just terms, When Mr, Cisy heard of Mr. Buchanan’s speeches in Pennsylvania on that sub- Jeet, Mr. Clay could not believe them; but when assured of the fact that he did grossly misstate his opinions for a ‘base purpose, the statesman of Ashland wound up one ef the severest denunciations he had ever heard, by using with scornful emphasis, which only he cov give, the stinging, but truthful words, ‘that Jar@s Buchanan wae a faithless and heartless fellow, and fad not a parti- cle of manliness o* statesmanship abo'é him.’ Mr. Clay forgot or forgave Buchanan's baser ses in j1824, but he never forgot or forgave his intinite'/ greater baseness in 1844, despised Buchanan to ‘le day of bis death, as every friend of Clay deserved @ do while life was in his body.” No co.—The Manchester American tays the scheme to start Fillmore electora) ticket in New Hampshire was conoosted in the Buchyaaa committee rooms at Washing. top, and from then4 comes the money to carry it oa, The ticket cannot ft five hundred votes in the State.

Mistake Correcrep.—The paper of the same date asks, “Who secured universal suffrage for the free white men in the States, when that inestimable privilege was con fined to the few? In every case the democratic party.”’ We do;not forget, however, that Martin Van Bures, in ths New York State Convention, opposed the alteration of tho Property qualification in the case of voters for State Se- nators. “If you give this up,’ said*he, ‘you will never get it back but by the sword.” SovTHERN Orrick Houpers unpeR FarMont.—The Rich- mond Enquirer of the 6th, alluding to Fremont’s election to the Presidency, says,—‘‘No doubt Southern men will be found ready to take office under Mr. Fremont, but to con. sider them as representatives of the South would be about as reasonable as to have considered Benedict Arnold a ge- neral in the American armies after heghad deserted to those of England.”? We always supposed that the persons appointed to office by the President were and ought to be representatives of the whole nation. That Southern men will be as ready to take office as usual, we shall not deny. Waar Goy. WicKUFFESAYS.—''Gov. Wickliffe,” says the Daily Creole, of New Orleans, September 30, “openly avows that he fully and completely endorses the views of Mr. Breckinridge. ‘He does not belong to a party which desires the extension of slavery.’ In Baton Rouge, in the presence of Colonel Dick Stewart and other gentlemen of dietinction, he has declared that the democrats, of this State did not desire the extension of slavery.’’, A Groan.—‘If the canvass,’’ says the Creole, “‘ is long continued under such leaders, and the masses follow Diindly their outgivings, the South will have to condend with the rankest free soilism amongst its own citizens.” ‘Waar 18 INTENDED.—The Commercial, published at Wil- mington, N.C., Oct. 4, sa58 — We are satisfied, from many reports and personal as- surances, that the old line whigs proper, or a majority of them, keep up the nomination of Fillmore for the sole purpose ef ¢efeating Fremont, and consequently, of elect- ipg Buchanan. ‘The Yorkville, 8.

Arcuwon GartinG ANGRY AT Tis ADMUNSTRATION.—In his paper, the Squatter Sovereign, of Sept. 23, says:—The slow and uncertain movement of those robed in a ‘little brief authority’ may check, but they can never effectu- ally arrest the depredations of a man like Lane, backed as he is by the purse strings of fanaticism. Already have ‘we evidence of the imbecility and corruption of officials. Lave and bis army have been permitted to depart with all their booty, without anything more than a feint being done towards intercepting his flight.” We suppose from this that there has not been hanging and shooting enough to please Atchison. Fremost’s Cnances In THE Hovsr.—On the avnounce- ment that Mr. Cullen, of Delaware, had stated that he had no objections to Col. Fremont, and that he woud vote for him if the election was carried to the House, the St. Louis Democrat sy8:— ‘This will give Fremont fourteen States. for Fremont, what will Hall, of that State, dot He may feel himelf irstructed, and his ee ‘aD elections, and may fill these Pisses with abstivoniets, Then what will become of the election, if it goes iato the House? ‘Tae Democracy or Virctxia In 1848.—On the 29th of February of that year a Democratic State Convention in Virginia adopted the following reeolution:— That this Convention heartily responds to the noble resolutions of the Alabama State Democratic Convention, ‘and will, under no political necessity whatever, support for the Presidency aby person who shall not be the and avowed opponent of any plan or doctrine any way nates a r ms Of citizens of any one State to and enjoy property in any Ter- ritory which may be acquired by the Union, b> compels and securely as citizens of any other shall epjoy theirs, except #0 far as, that ig unwilli: to disturb the Missour! comprom'se, we are content wit adhorence to Its principles. Why, then, have they disturbed the compromise and principles?

Their plan, therefore, is to aid Fillmore in New York, where he is confessedly far stronger than Bu- chanan, by quietly indueing as many democrats as pos sible to vote for him, Meanwhile they are to make the most desperate exertions to preserve Pennsylvania, Now Jersey, and we may add Illinois and Indiana, within the democratic foli. Should they succeed, Mr. Bachanan may possibly be elected. Cheating play never prospers.

A Futons May vor Fxemont.—Mr. 8, Bishop, of Mil- ‘waukie, in a letter declining the Fillmore Know Nothing nomination for member of Congress from the Milwaukie district, says: — Upon careful survey of the questions which now agi- tate this Union, it is evident no voter sifould remain pas sive in the approaching Presidential contest. However uch I may respect the sliay mns personal character of Mr. Fillmore, I am confident he cannot carry a free State in the approaching struggle. The controversy is between Buchapen and Fremont. I cannot, » hesitate a moment in support of Mr. Fremont. Bucnananiem in ]11zNo1s—Waar It Is,—The Southern Tlinoisian of Sept. 26, a leading Buchanan paper, appears to be ultya abolition in its principies. In the first place, it contends strongly for the right of Congress to control the domestic institutions of the Territories, and that neu- trality in the exercise of thie right is impossible, The editor then goes on as follows:— To the democrat we answer, neatrality in the Territory is impossible; tt must be free or slave. The right of the Northerner to take bis machinery or other property to Kansas, no more maxes it neutral or common nd than the same right makes South Carolina or neutral. The Yankee can take his mower to a What is tt makes Kentucky a slave State? The right to hold slaves within her borders merely, and that is all, on God’s green earth, that does make her 80, or distinguishes her institutions from those of the tree States. Hence, when you ¢stablish such neutrality in the Territories, as permits a man to own slaves wit the boundaries of those Territories, you make them as much slave as Ken- tucky, South Carolina or Georgia. A Territory, absolute- ly, must be free or slave. The question, then, will have to be restated. The republican says, let the Territory be free, and the democrat says, let it be slave. Democracy and slavery are synonymous, and in both there is spice of villai ought to be wise is either very ignorant or a traitor to the best in- terests of humanity. A pretty singular statement this, at tbe columns of an anti-slavery Buchanan democratic paper !

This is a far more honorable and legitimate employment than has been assigned them in Kansas, by their Commander- in-Chief. Dramatic and Musical Matters. ‘The past week has been rather a fruitful one in a musi- cal point, but the theatres have given us no especial novelty. Maretzek’s Lyric Concerts, at the Academy, just about paid the expenses. Apropos of concerts, why cannot we have something cheap and good at the Orystal Palace? In London, lately, Jullien gave a concert at the Surrey Gardens, for a shilling admission, at which Alboni sang. Whats rush there would be to the Crystal Palace to hear La Grange, Brignoli, Ceresa, Amodio and Marot- zek’s orchestra, for twenty-five cents | The last novelty at tho German Opera has been Lortz- ing’s “* Undine,” which has had quite a brilliant success. Although the efforts of Mr. Von Berkel have not been crowned with the pecuniary success which they have merited, yet we understand that he purposes to complete the season of forty nights, and that he expects several new artists from Europe. ‘ Undine”’ will be given again on Tuesday. The work of repairing the Broadway theatre has com- menced in good earnest, and the house will undoubtedly be open some time next month. One of the first stars will be Mr. Loraine, an English actor of high reputation.

The stock market throughout the week just clos oi bas bad « downward tendency. The daily transactions have been unusually large, and the disposition to sell has been daily increasing. The money market has been steadily tightening, and the stringency has been sufficiently severe to make holders o! stocks disgorge largely. This is about the first weok of the pressure, and the effect has hardly yet been folt. Demand loans bave been called in freely, but bor rowers have not found much difficulty in replacing them again, As the season advances and the payments in crease, the resources of parties wanting money will be come reduced, and in many instances ¢xhausted, when the pressure must increase. The banks have not reduced their line of loans tous far #0 much as anticipated, but we do not see any alternative but a severe and protracted contraction. Our financial advices from Europe are of the most gloomy character, and we look for very serious times both in England and on the Continent. Any steamer may bring us accounts of a financial revulsion, anda com plote panic tn the stock markets, At our Intest dater the principal banking institutions on the Continent bad advanced the rates cf Interest, and the Bank of Ragland must follow sult. It may not be made at once, but i must come. It has been anticipated for some time, and capitalists are prepared for it, but the effect on stocks must be disastrous. While this state of things exists abroad, we cannot look for an easy money market at home, but must prepare ourselves for any emergency. Caution and contraction should be the order of the day, ‘and then, if the crisis passes over without any particular danger, we stall be in a more favorable condition for the opening of another season's business, As soon as there is the slightest let up in our money market, epecie ship ts will become active again, and the drain upon the banks recommence. The result will bea more rapid contraction, and of course another stringency {n fnancia: aifaire. We do not seo, therefore, how we can calculate upon any relief in money markets antil ovr foreign ba lances are liquidated and our export trade again becomes: active. ‘The exports of specie from this port last week were not as large as anticipated.
