Dhe Presidential Question=Exact Condition of the Fight. The late result in Pennsylvania, in connection with the unexpected success of the democracy in Indiana, indicate pretty clearly the electioa of James Buchanan as our next President, by a handsome majority of the Electoral Colleges, against a popular majority throughout the coun- try of several hundred thousand. Already has this popular majority been sufficiently wasted and frittered away by the opposition factions, cliqaes and managers, to justify this conclusion. Let us lock for a moment at the present condition, as- pects and prospects of the fight. Pennsylvania bas been thrown away. An anti- democratic majority there of 40,000, a year ago, has suddenly vanished, through the tricks, treach- erles and stupid quarrels and splits among the anti-democratic forces; and from the same causes, Indiana, which was swept by the opp ion from stem to ster in 18 now recovered in a sin- gle desperate ch the alarmed democracy. Upon. the heels of this Pennsylvania disaster we find the Fremont and Fillmore managing com- mittees at Philadelphia wrangling and @plitting up in the discussion of a joint stock electoral for November—the Fillmoreites, with an int on amounting to lunacy, still clingiag to the delusion that they can afford to sacrifice Pennsylvania an the election to the ticke House. In New , the Fremont party are still = witho electoral ticket : in New Yo ard, Thurlow Weed and their of the Fre- mont campaign, bare, in the meantime. left the c at home to take care of itself, heen off, here and there, and ses resulting ia t . wehalf suspect that the secret t of Seward, Weed and Company, have done less to prevent a concentration of the opposition forces of the whole country upon Fremont, than the open, un- serupalous and ignant hostility of the Filt- more Know hing ta Fremont has proved hime elements of a perzonal populsrity that could be lesired for a vigor and triumphant campaign; but the mana at of his cause has almost wholly depended upon the independent press; and the enccesses of bis party have been left almost entirely to the spontaneous action of the people. Considering that bis party has thus been left with- out organization, without discipline or system, and that It has had to contend against Buchanan and Fillmore, sgainst a rnfianly exclnsion from the Southern States, against forgeries and falee issues without, and stupid and treacher- ous agents within, it has achieved wonders: but there are such things as impossibilities, even with an overwhelming force of numbers to with, if these materials are wastefally frit ay. ‘There was a majority in this State st General Tay! in 1848, of 16,900, g the two 4 ¢ factions together; by the det Buffalo movement, which carried off 120,009 votes to Van Buren, Genera) Taylor carried the State against General Cass by a plurality of over one hundred thou- sand votes, which defeated Cass, elected Taylor, and avenged Van Buren. For all practical purposes, Mr. Fillmore in 1556 ocenpies precisely the position of Van Buren in 1848. As the one was superseded at Baltimore by General Cass, so was the other sn- perseded at Philadelphia by the nomination of From the very outset, however, the ren Buffalo movement was one of pure re- willing to concede that Mr. at held on with the delusive Bachanan in the South, and by aiding Bueha gainst Fremont in the North, the election m e carried to the House. From this moment. however, ae there is no other way of preventing the election of Buchanan by ling little In ’ as possessing all the and yet iden that hy figh the people than concentration of the whole opposition «t th of the North upon a single ticket, the position of Mr. Fillmore and hie party, ag a separate interest in the fight, he. comes exactly analagous to that of Van Buren in 1848, We are aware that the Fillmore party of this State have been flattering t idea that the vote of New York is good for their candidate in November. This was the plea of Jon Van Buren in behalf of his venerable father in 48, but it was asham, We doabt not that whichever party may be first in New York, Me Pp lmore will be third, and at a considerable dis- ticgle point of sturdy Virginisps or Marylacders, their convictioas and thet Ject as this may be interposed ¢ with the gravity its treasonable s To say the De invaded, is to belie our own history. During the Revolution, while the Nor ed the enemy from their t tion. : The Caroli: Tn Northern Sta‘es,.17 tance in the rear of the second; but if we con- cede him the vote of New York, what will it amount to with Pennsylvania and Indiana for Buchanan? Nothing—it will amount to nothing. The truth is, that these two skirmishes in Penn- sylvania and Indiana are like the battles of Ligny and Quatre Bras, preceding the great day at Waterloo; and if the opposition forces remain divided on the day of the great battle, like those of Napoleon, Mr. Fillmore will have achieved the glory of Groucby or Van Buren, and nothing more. A few days before the Pennsylvania election, we were assured by an active democrat that if his party should be defeated in that State, and in Ohio and Indiana on the Lith, they would drop Buchanan, and adopt the ticket of Fillmore and Breckinridge, and baptise Fillmore in the foun- tain of democracy in the very act of his élection. Here is the hint. The project of a copartnersbip interest in November between Fremont and Fill more will not avail. It confuses, complicates, cmabarrasses and repels the single hearted opposi- tion voter. The only chance for the defeat of Bu- chanan is upon an unmixed opposition Presidential ticket. Otherwise, between two Richmonds, and by a horde of buckstering, treacherous and unscrupulous politica! hacks and gam- blers, the will of a great majority of the Ameri- can people must be defeated, in the election of Mr. Buchanan and a Congress to back him, by a decided minority of the popular vote of the country at large. Relieved of the hard work of the campaign, we await the result with consider- able resignation. SovTnrny Secession Bravapo.—The Charles- ton Mercury, of the Sth of October, in reviewing the war speech of Goy. Wise, made at Richmond, in September, says it is “ profoundly convinced that the South has this question of war and peace in its own hands,” and it utters more profound convictions in the following words, worthy of the famous Bobadil himself :— As to the military force of the North, az a means of sud. jugating the ~outh, it is the most idle ‘aud ridi zulous ides ‘that . ever started The ~outh bas wo * ‘divs than the North.

With regard to the number of Continental troops raised in the States during the Revola- tion, the following table speaks for Now Hampahtre Massachusetts. Now, by the censts of 1790—the first regular census taken in the United States—the Northern States had a population of 1,78 Southern States 1,86) difference in the population was about the same and the numerical proportionably in their favor during the war. Thus, then, it is indisputably a fact that during ; on the Northern States, thongh na- * ia population to the South, d three times as many soldicrs for the war as did. South Carolina raised but about 6.500 men. and Georgii 9. So much for their mili- tary efforts in the times that tried men’s souls. at we are told that now outh have more soldiers in proportion to their population than any other people on earth. We will not now con- sider this assertion in reference to the military forces of France and Russia. Let us see how true it ie with regard to ourselves. By the last census, it appears the per centage of our popula- tion, between twenty and sixty years of age, capable of bearing arms, is forty per cont. The actual number of enrolled militia, by the record at the Adjutant General's office, in Washington, is onl7 about two millions, or ten per cont on the whole number of whites. which is about twenty mill the Northern an¢ Tennorsse..

This calculation, far within bounds, demonstrates the utter foolbardiness and stupidity of the Charleston editors, and the followers of Governor Wise, in appealing to the arbitrament of the sword in aid of their treasonable designs against the Union. These are the presses and the men, who with this miserable show of military power, without the material or sinews of war, embolden- ed by their snecessful “Bachaniering” in Kansas, now threaten the people of the North with vio- ke f they dare elect, even constitationally, a President whom they do not lik Tim Rat Cayptpare ror Govervorn.—We pub- lished yesterday the manifesto of the working Printers’ Society of this city against Erastus Hrooks, the Rat candidate for Governor.

Rely upon it, we shall smoke out the Rat, Morwonisa ReysinG Rior—AtLeaep ATTEMPT To Assassinare 4 Unirep Stares Orricer.—In another column will be found a letter from one of our correspondents at Salt Lake City, which contains some curious statements in regard to the extremes to which the Saints are pushing their fanaticism. We give them as received. So long as the practices of Brigham Young and his associates were kept within, we will not say decent bounds, but such, at all events, as enabled them to steer clear of a col- lision with the general laws of the country, we were averse to interference with them. We felt that any attempt to control their peculiar doc- trines, obnoxious though they are to all Christian- minded people, would only react unfavorably on the principle of religious toleration, and produce far worse evilsthan were likely to result from quietly allowing the Mormon malady to work out itsown cure. The statements of our correspon- dent show that this view of the case was the right one, inasmuch as the insanity that precedes destruction is now urging on the Saints to acts which, if true and persevered in, will call for their total extirpation from our territories, It appears that to such an extent is the hatred of these people to the United States employes, and others who have not been inoculated with the beauties of Mormonism carried, that in their dealings with them they treat them in all respects as a proscribed race, with whom it is sinful to have any sort of dealings. Thus, a Mormon owing a debt to a “Gentile” is openly enjoined from the Taberna- cle not to discharge his obligations to him, and allow himself to be sued and have all his pro- perty taken from him rather than disobey the in- junction. Again, Brigham Young tells his peo- ple that any man who sells a bushel of wheat to a Gentile will have to give the same amount for the benefit of the church; and that .if such traffic be persisted in all his effects will be con-. fiscated. This is carrying the principle of re- ligious exclusiveness and jealousy further even than Moslemism, and further too than the policy of the constitution, in its toleration of religious eccentricities will permit. But the worst of these new frenzies of the Mormon mind remains to be narrated. Not satis- fied with this system of social proscription, these desperate men, it is asserted, are now resorting to acts of brutal violence to put down opposition to their creed. In the letter to which we refer there is an account given of the attempted assassination of Mr. Troskolawski, a United States Deputy Sur- veyor, by the notorious Bill Hickman and three of his “Danite” associates, for the expression of opin- ions adverse to Mormonism. Not only was this cowardly act suffered to pass unpunished by the magistrates, but it received the approval of the Mormon elders in their addresses to the “faith ful” in the Tabernacle. Jn the extravagance of their vanity and self- confidence, these foolish people have committed another offence which is likely to bring them into direct collision with the federal authorities. In order to prevent suspected persons (anti-Mor- mons) from leaving the Territory, they have had the audacity to send an armed band to watch and interfere with the movements of the convoy carrying the United States mails, in its departure from Salt Lake City. It was not until the mail conductor peremptorily informed the escort that he would not proceed if they continued to follow him, that they were induced to return. From these statements it will be inferred that the reports which have been current of an inten- tion on the part of the Mormons to cut the con- nection with us and set up on their hook, are not altogether without foundation. If they con- tinue after this fashion to set the authority of the general government at deflance, they may find the movement anticipated in a way that will neither be very convenient nor agreeable to them. Sentovs Buexpers or rae Repveticays Dur- tN THR Present Canvass.—It is a remarkable fact than many men of genius, who can write good poetry, or concoct sound philosophical ar- guments, have no sort of talent for the practical business of Jife, There is nothing which #0 »0- verely tests man’s practical ability as the work of a Presidential contest. Every one re- members the campaign of 1852, when General Scott, one of the great captains of the age, was turned into a political harlequin by his own speeches. During the present campaign Colonel Fremont has shown more sense, and maintained a dignified silence. Some of his friends, however, have, by their injudicious con- duct, furnished ammunition for the enemy after the fashion of General Scott in the campaign of 1852, On the nomination of Col. Fremont, which was brought about by the simultaneous action of the free press and the popular indignation against the atrocious policy of the Pierce administration, some half a dozen men, with little sense and no sagacity, got up what purported to be biogra- phies of the candidate. Some of these books were filled with the most absurd and ridiculous stories in relation to Colonel Fremont, recalling all the forgotten errors of his boyhood and other absurd details which have nothing to do with the questions at issue in this canvass. Large num- bers of these biographies have been purchased by the opposition, and the democratic speakers in Pennsylvania, numbering from fifty to one hun- dred, have each two or three of these volumes, and used them in their speeches as electioneering documents against the Fremont party. They found them better than any documents which had been issued by their committees. [t is probable that two-thirds of the biographies of Colonel Fremont have been bought up by the oppo sition for the purpose of being used to defeat his election. We see that a new brochure, which has been issued by one of our cotemporaries, under the title of the Two Fre- monts, has become a subject for the ridicule o° the democratic press; and we are credibly in- formed that this brochure has been purchased liberally by the democratic committees for the democratic orators, who intend to use it against Col, Fremont in every State in the Union. Herein consists the great error of those who have constituted themselves the leaders of the Fremont party. Instead of sagacious, practical men taking a high position upon the great prin- ciples involved in the contest, we see among moet of our cotemporaries nothing but pretty poetry and philosophical disquisitions, Onr cotemporaries seem bereft of all common sense. They fritter away their energies upon goutempti- ble stuff, such as the early history of Fremont— events in his family history dug up from the dust and obscurity of years—the question of his identity or his religion—and thereby injure the cause they endeavor to. assist, and furnish weapons ready charged to the enemy. George Law ar Tae Acapemy—FareweLt Srrecu.—A few weeks ago the redoubtable Max Maretzek made a farewell speech at the Academy of Music, which filled the fashionable world with sorrow and alarm, and the pockets of the dry goods dealers on Broadway with emptiness. That was the last speech from the boards of the Opera House till Friday, when George Law made his début, and achieved an oratorical effort which will spread confusion and dismay among his friends and admirers, That was also a fare- well speech. George Law has been for many years a great contractor, a great man on rail- ‘ways, a great steamboat proprietor, a great bridge builder, a great millionaire, and more than all, agreat humbug. It is possible that that class who considered this great character in the light of a great goose, always ready to be plucked on every occasion, will regret the sudden close of his po- litical career; but his best friends and highest ad- mirers will be gratified to hear that he has retired to private life, and will hereafter confine himself tohis appropriate business—contracts, railways, steamboats, bridge building and similar useful occupations. ‘ We have been guilty of a great burglary with regard to George Law. We have broken down the fences of the political menagerie to set him on his pins before the people. We thought he had the stuff in him to make a telling, vigorous man in the present exigency of the republic. We paraded him in all sorts of shapes—-turned him this wayand that—doctored him in one style, physicked him in another—-gave him views, and ideas, and maxims, and apothegms, and occasion- ally a bit of poetry; but with all we could do, as- sisted by ex-Senator Westcott, Silas M. Stillwell, Charles Edwards Lester, and other worthies, George Law turned out to be a great humbug, and as a politician only fit to be laughed at. His ridiculous operations in his convéntions and meet- ings, during the past few months, have only in- jured the cause of the opposition to the demo- cracy, and materially damaged the prospects of the candidate he endeavored to assist. Like a big bull in a china shop, he smashes everything with which he comes in contact. We really hope that he will now go back to private life, and be- come a respectable, God-fearing citizen. We ra- ther think he will succeed better in religion than in politics. One half the money he has thrown away on political harpies, had it been invested in building churches and establishing nunneries, would have given him, with the Pope, a charac- ter for benevolence, munificence, sanctity and devotion which would last him all the days of his life, and open for him a splendid prospect here- after. Persona Anvse or The Mayor.—-Our philo- sophie cotemporaries of the Tribune, are, we perceive, continuing their severe attacks upon the personal character of Mayor Wood. The attacks of these philosophers display bad taste, bad temper and bad judgment. Therefore, we think that they will not materially injure the chances of Mr. Wood, These personal attacks are founded upon matters which were fully discussed by the press and the public before Mr. Wood was elected to the post which he now occupies. One would think that the verdict of the people at the polls was a sufficient reply and an ample refutation. A discussion upon the manner in which the affairs of the city have been conducted since Mr. Wood took office, would be more in order, although all the errors, follies, corruptions and mistakes in our city government should not be charged to the Mayor, whose power under the present charter is extremely limited. Mayor Wood, however, if he does not merit all the praise lavished upon him by his adherents, for his official conduct during his present term, is certainly en- titled to great credit for his endeavors to give us a good government, and to show us that without an entire reform in the manner of conducting our municipal affairs, and a new charter, that our city will continue to labor under a rule which costs a greatdeal of money and amounts to next to nothing after all. In the present as- pect of city politics it seems to us that Mayor Wood will be re-elected by an unprecedented majority. Infact, he will go in by a sort of de- fault. The various candidates opyosed to him have no strength. Not one of them can poll a tithe of the vote. And, in fact, if they were all combined, which is impossible, we think that the result would show that the majority of the peo- ple believe that it is the best policy to give Mr. Wood another chance—to try him for two years more, and see if, under another charter, he will accomplish those reforms so long hoped for.
