Two torchlight processions passed our office last eve- ning, cheerir g with the greatest enthusiasm and firlng off rockets and Roman candles with an utter disregard of expense. First came a strong representation of the de- mocracy, of all conditions, sizes and ager, with the pocket piece ¢f the Empire Club end Captain Rynders at their head. The cannon thundered away right in front of our building, but without damaging as much as a pane of glass. The other evening the same pocket piece shook the City Hall to its very foundation, and scarcely left a whole window in its front. And here we have a proof that pot only buildings, but windows, that are put up “4 private contracts are better than'those got up for pub! use at twice the cost. After the democrats came a toreh- light procession from Brooklyn, on its way to the Fre mont meetiog at the Academy of Music. This was also an enthusiastic affair, and cheered with as much vim as its predecess -b processions gave us a pasting sa- lute on thet fay, and a’most drowned the noise of the cannon with their cheers.

His Debut at the Academy of Musle, He Makes a Succession of Hits and Brings Down the House. UNPARALLELED SUCCESS OF THE DEBUTANT, &., &e., &o. The North American, or George Law branch of the Know Nothing party, got up a demonstration last even- ing in the Academy of Music, under the auspices of the great reiiroad and ship building empresario, and their highand mighty leader, Mr. George Law. The following ie the call under which the meeting was convened :— FREMONT AND FRREDOM.—ACADEMY OF Music, THIS EVEN 1NG—NORTH AMERICAN MxETING.—The undersigned, Ame- ricaps of the city of New York, disapproving of the repeal of the Missouri compromise, snd opposed to the extension 0° slavery into Territories of the United States nofth of latitude 36.30, and opposed to the election of James Buchanan, and in favor of the election of John C. Fremont to the Presidency of the United States, invite their tellow citizens, entertaining similar views, to a public meeting, at the Academy of Music, on the 17th day of October instant, at7 P. M. ‘Thsre was quite a large attendance at the Academy, the great attraction being the assurance that Mr. Law bimseif would make another grand essay in the field of oratory, and perhaps eclipse the fame of Demosthenes in the Old, and Rufus Choate in the New World. His fa- mous speech at the Apolle rooms last summer, which so tickled and astonished the mercantile and other classes of our citizens, bad prepared the popular mind to expect great things of him in that line at some future day. Con- sequently the positive announcement that he would put forth bis best efforts last night drow a house quite as large and almost as fasbionable as if Max Mareizek bad announced “‘I] Trovatore.’’ The stage boxes'were occupied by ladies in full dress, and the pagterre and gallerics by citizens ip their best clothes. An excellent band, in the uniform of La Garde Lafayette, and which we understood to be the National Guard, had possession ofthe orchestra, and earned many honors. ‘Hail Columbia” and other airs were encored and much applauded. The stage, which was open to ita full depth, was deco- rated with the national flag. On one side was a banner on which was painted a stalwart arm wielding a sledge, with the legend:— On the other was a similar effort of art, with the legend :— MMECBAMICS’ AND WORKINGMENS’ ORNTRAL REPUBLICAN UMION OF £48 CITY AND COUNTY OF NEW YORK. Of course Mr. Law, with his accustomed conditional Uberality, supplied the funds for ‘‘the banners and the music.’” It was said he came out to the tune of $10,000 ‘or this demonstration. To understand the bearing of this demonstration it is perhaps necessary to remind our readers that last February, in the Convention of Know Nothings, which bominated Mr. Fillmore for the Presidency, there was a bolt or secession, heaced by Mr. Law. The secessionists eesumed the distinctive name of “North Americans,” beld a Nomi: ating Convention at Apollo Hall, im this city, in which they nominated Mr. Speaker Banks dor the Presidency, and ex-Governor Johnston, of Pean- sylvania, for the Vice Presidency. They then seut » deputation to the Convention at which nominated Fremoni, but tbey came with—a vu'ger pariance—a flea \u their car. Mr Banks declined the proficred bonor; and the Convention re considered their action and endorsed ihe nomination o Mr. Fremont, reiaining, however, their candidate for the Vice Presiiency. Mr. Fremon: accepted! the nomination —e8 he could not well refuse it—and in this position stands the North American party at the preseutday. ‘The meeting last night was to give efficacy aud expreasion to their movement. The meeting was called fcr 7 P.M., but in the absence of the lea¢ers, the bard, much more pleasantly we ara guiled the hour—always excepting the great b ening.

About twenty buildings on Beach, Penn and Poplar streets were destroyed; also, Joseph Anthony's carpenter shop, and George F. Salamander's ship chandiery. The loss is estimated at $200,000.

Affairs of Kansas, GOVERNOR SHANNON'S ACCOUNT OF HIS @UBERNA- TORIAL LABORS. The ex Governor of Kansas, finding himself of little or Bo account with the people of that regicn, now turns big eyes imploripgly onthe ‘American public.” He has, with “‘sober second thougbt’’ deemed it advisable to stand as straight and as fair upon the record as he can, and to bave a little talk with any one who has time to listen te him. We will hoid on to him fora few moments, and here is what he says:—‘On the 10th day of August, 1865, 1 was appointed Governor of the Territory of Kansas, am office I did not solicit.”’ It ts true that for the first time ta my life ‘I applied to the President for an office,” and I ‘unexpectedly got this,’”’ But I accepted the appointment, and entered ep the du- es of the office with a fixed determination to discharge the duties with fidelity and impartiality. How far I have ee I submit to the decision of the American people. The submission is well enough, but the American pee- moval he admits that be is an ignoramus. About this there is no great difference of opinion. On the 28th day of July last 1 was removed by the President, and my successor appointed and the Senate. No complaint was ever made Cabinet at Washivgton. of any act of mine, 1 this hour. I was removed without charge oteny kind, and Feuil remals eons for my removal. His position was mot a very pleasant one. To whip the devil round the stump requires some agility and seme skill. The Governor had neither, and he compisins that his office ‘was one full of perplexities an Jdifficulties, aad hed beem #0 from the time he entered the Territory; more £0, it must be conceded, than any other in the ge- vernment.”’ It was certainly a poor place for a small pe- Mticiam. Small salary, mach labor, and nothing very of the rea- ‘It was natural therefore, that he wished to resign; wrote aletter of resignation, but uniuckily the mall ad not go, and his letter could no! go. Between mafis therefore, he had a chance for another sober second thought, and bis friends, seizing the opportunity told bien to hold on. He thus describes his perplexity:— An early as the latter part of June last I had writtem my resignation, and directed it to the Wigeeard and tually wrote to Col. Buford, at Westport, that F bad signed; but the mail not going out for some time, letter containing my resignation was not sent, and meantime the substantial men of all ee a oe my determination, called, and urged me in stroagest: terms, not to resign. And he did not. But such were the assaults made him that he bad to go. And what is worse, ibe Presi- dent himself was his enemy! These and calumnies have been virtually em- dorsed by the ad Sithets eal oe aes owe it to myself and family, as well as the '’ virdicate my character, thus most unjustly assailed. But the public mind of the whole country revolts, sags Gov. Shannon. At what? At the outrages in Kansas, at border ruffianism, at bloody statute laws, at the villanies perpetrated in the name of liberty? Ob no. It revolts at the ‘dea’ of the Governor's being so badly used by the President! Bear bim:— used up part of it, and this letter has used up the rest. He next proceeds to charge the President with duplicity in bis instructions. To preserve law and order he wap te make @ requisition for troops, but before he could use the troops he was to read the proclamation of the President. ‘How could I,” says the innocent-hearted man, “read © proclamation in the din of battle and amid the roar ef capnon’” Unquestionably it was tight place to read sident’s proclamation. The Governor then proceeds to explain the philosephy of his position, under the conflicting instructions of the President on the one hand, and the local difficulties em the other; his dutics as a Governor, a militia officer, and @ commander pf the United States forces. The mystification of his responsibilities is only surpassed by the explaaa- tion he has given of them. He adds that everybody knew that Lane was going to pitch in. Gerrit Smith knew it—the President knew it. Who is responsible for all the consequent disorder ? Isubmit now to @ just and it public to igi Sisete ot cerer turbances in Kansas—the man who requested additional force to Of course they will judge for themselves, opinion is pretty well made up, that President Pierce is to blame for all the mischief im Kansas, and he found tools like Shannon to carry out his views. The conclusion of the letter is a vindicatien of his private character from the charge of intemperance. We are giad to see it. It is not applejack or Monongahela that bas stolen away his brains. It is the President's duplicity has befuddied him. There- fore the Govertor appeals to the public for a verdtct im his favor, and when he gots it we will make « note of it for bis benetit.
