The docament is in- teresting, and will give our readers an idea of the tactics pursued by the friends of Fillmore in the re- cent election in that State. The republicans of Philadelphia held a meeting ast evening for the purpose of appointing dele gates to the Fusion Convention to be held in Har- wieburg to-day. A number of the friends of Mr. Fillmore attended the meeting, and by their inflam- matory speeches, fora time prevented the transac- Al's 1856. tion of any business. r of the members of the Keyrtone Club mt and added to the eonfusion, After the Fillmore men and their coad- jators had retired, the meeting was reorganized and delegates appointed, who pledged themeeives to be present at the Convention. The examination in the case of Huntington, the Wall street note broker, charged with forgery, was continued yesterday. Two hundred and forty-two *bousand dollars worth of forged paper was pre- sented yesterdsy, making a total of three hundred and thirty-seven thousand nine hundred and forty- #x dollars, in forged promissory notes, already wrought to light; and it is believed the actual ameunt of the frauds perpetrated will reach six bundred thousand dollars. We give full particulars of the astounding revelations elsewhere. - A resolution was offered in the Board of Sapervi sers last evening directing the Comty Clerk to seal up the election returns from the several dis- ticts as they are presented at his office, and neither examine them himself, nor saffer other persons to examine them, until they are laid before the Board ef County Canvassers. The proposition created quite a lively debate, the democrats taxing the negative side of the question, and was finally lost by a vote @f eleven to nine. In the Board of Aldermen last evening a commo- nication was received from the Mayor, calling atten- ton to the labors of Commander Berryman and his brother officers of the United State; steamer Arctic, jm sounding the Atlanti: ocean from St. Johns to ‘the west coast of Ireland, with the view of testing the feasibility of establishing telegraphic commu- nication between the Old and New worlds. The ex- plorstion having positively determined the practi- cability of laying a telegraphic cable between the two continents, the Mayor recommended that suitable pab- Bie notios be taken of the event. Accordingly, a reso Wotion tendering the freedom of the city to the offi- cera and crew of the Arctic, and placing the Go- vernor’s room at their disposdi for the reception of weir friends, was adopted. The Board of Councilmen met last evening, bat transacted no business of importance. Mr. Wm.T. Coleman and Mr. M. H. Troett, an- ether of the thirty-eight defendants in the case of Mulligan against the San Francisco Vigilance Com- mittee, have been arrested by the Sheriff, and or dered to find bail in the sum of twenty-five thousand deilere. Particulars of the arrest of two handred and fifty Kansas emigrants, men, women and children, near the Nebraska line, by Deputy Marstral Preston, aided by @ large body of troops und six pieces of artillery, will be found smong our despatches. Not withstanding the conductor of the emigrants had per- mission from (Governor Geary to enter the Territory- with the usual arms of emigrants, they were placed, wander arrest, their property examined and seized, and a guard placed over them, with instructions to the troops to shoot any who might attempt to es _ Baffalo we learn that seventy two vessels are now on their way from Chicago and Milwankie for that port, laden with 1,062,647 bushels of grain.

We anderstand that he will accept the nomi nation for Mayor tendered him by the manicipal reformers. The sales of cotton yesterday embraced about 700 @ 800 bales, at quotations which exhibited a decline of fully { cent per Ib. below the highest figures of last week. Flour was heavy, with fair sales at a de cline of 10c. a 16e. per bbl. on the lower grades of State brands, and about Sc. on extra grades. Wheat was about 3c. per bushel lower, with fair sales.

The Disunton Game of the Southern De- mocracy—“agnificent for the Extension of Slavery and a Great Increase im the Price of Siggers. Many of our readers have doubtless supposed that Governor Wise’s opinion, to wit: that the election of Mr. Buchanan to the Presidency would increase the price of stout, healthy Vir- ginia niggers from one thousand to five thousand dollars a head, wae an enthusiastic etretch of the imagination; but we think that we have at length arrived at the Southern democratic programme, by which a very large increase in the price of Virginia niggers will undoubtedly be realized. We should not be surprised if, in less than three years, they were to run up to full five thousand dollars a head. First, we refer our readers to the disunion movements of the late meeting of certain South- ern democratic Governors at Raleigh, N. C., to a debate on Union or disunion between Gen. Hous- ton and Gen. Rusk in Texas, and to the letter of Robert J. Walker, addressed to the fears of our Worthern commercial classes, all of which articles will be found elsewhere in these columns, and all under the same head, for they are all of a piece.- All of these Southern secession movemiente, dis cussions, disunion speeches, and threatening let- ters, are directed to the one common object of frightening the North into submission; but we must now admit that the magnificent slavery pro- gramme of the South will fully account for every expedient of intimidation they have adopted. The whole game of the Southern disunion democracy in this campaign may be resolved into two simple objects:—First, to divide the North, and secondly to frighten the North. The divi- sion of the opposition elements of the North was effected with the nomination of Mr. Fillmore, a purely Southern nomination; and thus his in- fluence, and the influence of the Northern opposi- tion faction drawn off into his support, were se- cured for the accomplishment of the second ob- ject. Mr. Fillmore’s speech at Albany, a few days after his return from Europe, shows conclu- sively that the Southern managers of his nomina- tion did not mistake the pliable instrument se- lected for their work. He promptly declared that the South would and should secede from the Union if Fremont was elected to the Presidency. Since that day the organs and stumpers of the Buffalo candidate have cheerfully done all the dirty work required By the Southern democracy in the North, in order to defeat the only candi- date and party sufficiently popular and formida- ble, in a fair fight, to sweep the North from Maine to San Francisco. The late Pennsylvania election, especially in the city of Philadelphia, next illustrates the suc- cess of the second branch of this disunion game of the Southern democracy—the old trick of frightening and intimidating the commercial in- terests of the North into a surrender at disere- tion. By a system of terrorism, under which the constitution has become a dead letter in the South, the Fremont party have been rigorously denied the liberty of speech and of the press in fourteen States; and our democratic Southern committees of safety have followed this up with the cry that Fremont is a sectional can- didate, an abolition candidate—that the South are excluded from his ticket—and that they cau have no alternative than disunion, should he be elected by Northern votes. Treacherous, uncon- stitutional, mean and dastordly as this branch of the game of intiuidation has been, it has still had its effect among our Northern commercial classes and their dependents. Thousands of silly men have been made to believe, or made to preach, the preposterous nonsense that Fremont’s elec- tion weuld be the end of the Union, and the end of our trade with the South. “Let them laugh who win,” and we doubt not that already Govj Wise, Mr. Toombs, Mr. Brooks, Mr. Keitt, Mr. Slidell, Mr. Jeff. Davis, Mr. Atchison, and all concerned, are laughing in their sleeves at their unexpected success with this old stale trick of Southern rights, Southern wrongs, secession and disunion. We say this old stale trick; for all this South- ern democratic bravado of disunion is nothing but the old trick for dividing and frightening the Nerth, so as to slip in and secure the spoils and the government for another term of four years. But the programme of the Southern leaders of the democracy in this campaign is on a scale so grand and comprehensive for the extension and perpetuation of slavery, as almost to excuse, in a party sense, even the basest devices of democratic warfare to the fullest extent to which they have been carried. The ruf- flanism at Washington, the ruffianism of Kansas, the terrorism which reigns supreme all over the South, the desperate hue and cry of disunion all over the North, the bribery and corruption and ballot stuffing at the polls, will be looked upon as but trifling offences against law, decen- cy, morality and justice, should they culminate in the suctess of the great Southern democra‘ic programme of 1256. What is this programme? It was broadly foro- shadowed at Cincinnati; but it has since been more fully developed. It may be briefly reduced to the following splendid scheme for the extension of slavery and an increase in the price of nig- gers. The admission of 1. Kansas as a slave State. 2. Nicaragua asa slave Staite. 3. Cuba as a slave State. 4. Another slave State from Texas. 5. The half of California as a slave State. 6. The whole of Mexics. ‘The election of Mr. Buchanan and a democra- tic Congress to back him, cannot posstbly end in any other way than the admission of Kansas asa slave State at the first session of the next Con- gresa, The game in Nicaragua is equally clear. The Cincinnati platform expressly «ym- pathiees with the Walker movement. Mr. Soulé, Mr. Buchanan’s right hand man, to Ostend, lately went down, as a sort of volunteer democratic ambassador, to Nicaragua, and the first fruit of his diplomacy appears in a decree from President Walker re-establishing slavery, which had stood abolished in that State for forty years. Under Mr. Buchanan it will be easy, with the advice and influence of Mr. Soul¢, to secure the admission of Nicaragua as a slave State. Cuba comes next. Nicaragua will be the ren- dezvous, and San Juan will be the Varna for the descent upon Cuba, after the plan of the descent of the allies upon the Crimea. Mr. Soulé re- tarned from Spain to write a book upon his mis sion, disclosing everything connected with it. He contracted with a New York publisher to print the book; he wrote the book; but with the nomination of Mr. Buchanan he suppressed the book. And why? For the all-sufficient reason that the election of Mr. Buchanan would revive the Ostend policy, and bring it into an experi- ment—the policy of “wresting Cuba from Spain if we have the power.” With Nigaragua and Cuba ja our posession, NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1856.

What is there to prevent it, should we succeed in “wresting Cuba from Spain?” There, however, is the rub. There this magnificent Southern programme may be tumbled about their ears like @ lordly castle built upon the quick- sands of the seashore. The attempt to “wreet Juba from Spain” very possibly -esult in a war with England, France and Spain combined. Otherwise, with the election of Mr. Buchanan, we see nothing to prevent the speedy acquisition by the Southern spoils democracy of an absolute and overshadowing supremacy in the government, to the extent of ten or fifteen addi- tional slave States to the confederacy. Nor will this be all, Asa necessary consequence, the de- mands of Kansas (perhaps Nebraska, too,) and Cuba, Nicaragua and Mexico for slave labor, will not only result in raising the price of Virginia niggers to four or five thousand dollars abead, but it must also result in the necessity of re-estab- lishing that benign and humane institution for niggers, the African slave trade. Such is the meaning of this democratic and Fillmore hue and cry of “abolition candidate,” “sectional party,” “Southern equality, “seces- sion” and “disunion.” It is all nothing more than the old trick to divide and frighten the North into submission. Thus far, the Southern terrorists hold the chances of the game; and, with Mr. Buchanan in the White House, and with such deep players as Jefferson Davis, Atchison, Toombs, Slidell and Soulé around him, we may depend upon it they will provide ample markets for their niggers, and ample securities for the future. The letter of Robert J. Walker is but a trick— the decree of Gen. William Walker, establishing slavery in Nicaragua developes the whole game. Impending Decisive Battle in Nicaragua. ‘When the steamship Texas, which arrived in this port on Saturday last, left San Juan de} Norte, on the 6th inst., a grand and decisive battle was daily expected between the combined forces of the Central American States and those under the command of General Walker. It was to bea conflict of arms on the result of which hung the destiny of Nicaragua, and, it may be, of Central America. It would decide whether the new prin- ciples of social and political government, including the probable introduction of elavery, implant- ed ip that region by Walker and his co-adven- turers, were to be fostered and developed, or whether Nicaragua should revert back to its Spanish-Indian dynastics. That battle has, in all buman probability, already taken place. The iseues which hung upon its result may have been already decided. The sword, that great arbiter of the destinies of nations, may hare carved out a new career to progress and civilization for the citizens of one or all of the Central American Statos; or else, the ray of light that was allowed to flash in upon and illumine their gloomy condition may have been only transient, and may now be forever ex- tinguished. Among the never ending wars waged between hostile peoples since humanity commenced to exist, there have been in all not twelve decisive battlee—battles which affected the progrese of the race and of civilization. The one impending, or that has already taken place in Nicaragua—though of but small consideration in view of the forces engaged, is of immense im- portance in view of its effects on the destinies of he Spanish-American people, and of the beauti- ful countries which they inhabit, and may be, in fter ages, set down as one of the decisive bat- tles of the world. The tactique followed by General Walker in ibe present campaign appears to be an eminently prudent one. His force is small in comparison to that by which he is assailed. He cannot mus- ter, at the very utmost, more than twelve han- dred men, and with them he has to meet and de- feat an army of two or three thousand at least. His policy, therefore, was evidently not to risk any skirmishing engagements, but to con- centrate his whole force on a given point and strike one final and conclusive blow. The enemy made a demonstration on the town of Rivas, and the Walker garrison vacated it. They also occu- pied Leon under similar circumstances. They marched into Managua and the Walker garrison marched out and fell back upon Massaya, about twelve miles northwest of the city of Granada, the capital of Walker's government and_ the headquarters of his army. And by the latest intelligence brought by courier to the latter city, the troops had evacuated Massaya, and were marching intoGranada, where the enemy was Im- mediately expected. There Walker was prepar- ed to meet them, and to risk everything on the issue of a grand battle. His only motive for wishing to postpone that last appeal to arms for a few days longer, was, to give time for the arri- val ®f a battery of howitzers, mortars, shells and ammunition from New York and San Francisco, and these munitions of war he was to have re- ceived within a few days after the departure of the Texas from San Juan. So that, as we have before said, the decisive battle of Granada has pro- bably already taken place, and the issues which hung apon it are at length decided. We were led to believe. from circumstances th: & recently came to our knowledge, that England would recognize Walker's government if he sac- ceeded in sustaining himself and demolishing his opponents, She keeps a large naval force in the harbor of San Juan, and, if it were her policy, she might easily strengthen the hands of Walker's adversaries to a degree which would render him powerless before them. The fact that she does not do 0, is of iteelf prime fucie evidence that the does not want to see his government over- thrown. But there is aleo positive evidence to the same point. Admira) Erskine, the officer in command of the English naval forces there, has declared that his government would throw no ob- stacles in the way of the establishment of Walk- er’s sway; and the same sentiment has been aleo exproesed by Capt. Tarleton, of her Britannic Majesty's ship Eurydice. What effect the intro- duction of slavery will have remains to be seen. It can perbaps be imagined. England desired that a firm and responsible government should be established in Nicaragua, and had no objeo- tion to that being done even by Americans, because she knew the immense value of the trade that would be opened up with Central America under favorable circumstances, Whether she would or would not view so unconcernedly a movement towards annexation with the United States, is nota subject important to be considered at this time; but the slavery question is one of moment, and will attract attention. Meanwhile, however, good feeling exists be- tween our citizens and the British authorities at San Juan. This was shown on the occasion of the Texas running aground in the harbor. The boats of the Englirh men-of-war in port rendered the most active assistance in getting her off; and having finally succeeded, the crew and passen- gere of the Texas, as she steamed past the Eng- lisbmen, saluted them with rounds of hearty perfect; and all that is now needed to put a seal upon the present state of good feeling and to see Walker's government firmly established, ia the complete defeat of the forces of the Central American States now opposed to him, and the organization of the new régime on a proper and modern basis. It is understood that in that event the English government is ready to reeognize the new government of Nicaragua; and as Walker has just ratified the treaty of commerce negotiated some years since between the Chamorro govern- ment and the United States, and eubseqently rati- fied by Rivas, there will be then no impediment in the way of Nicaragua’s peace and prosperity. That such may be the case must he the wish of all who have at heart the regeneration of Cen- tral America and the progress of civilization; but all depends on the decisive battle which has pro- bably already been fought near Massaya or Granada. Tax Orrratic Wan Iv THE OvuTsKIRTs—Pav.s- DELPHIA AND BosToN IN THE Fretp.—The great Operatic war increases in vigor and intensity. We have published, day after day, the builetins from the rival camps, the soul-stirring despatches of Field Marshal Maretzek, and the coo), statisti- cal, matter of fact, but still interesting pronun- ciamentos of First Consul Phalen. Sometimes a volunteer, who has been admitted into the sacred mysteries behind the scenes, throws a volunteer shot which ought to crush the opposition. But no, each party comes up fresh for the conflict, smiling under the terrific punishment, and re- turning it con amore. All the young ladies in Fifth avenue gaze on the combat with the same delight that Gibbon tells us was felt by the Ro- man codfish aristocracy when the lions of Nero made their dinner off the friends of St. Paul. The war has now spread to the outekirte, and we find those enterprising, but rather slow pro- vincial cities, Philadelphia and Boston, waking up to the positive necessity of Italian opera, and charitably rejoicing at the imbroglio which de- prives the metropolis of its most elegant amuse- ment. The Boston Atlas, in an article which we transfer to our news columns, is particularly jubilant, and thanks “Phalen and Company” for the series of representations commenced by “Maretzek last night, at the Boston theatre. The Philadelphigns are really and positively roused. They have nearly finished their Opera house— the American Academy of Music they call it— and have officially announced that they are wait- ing for a tenant. This house, we understand, will seat nearly four thousand people, and it has been almost as costly as our Academy. It will be leased, as we are told, for seven thousand dol- lars per annum, with Eve hundred stockholders’ admissions, At the Boston theatre, one of the fuert opera honses in the world, the rent is about ten thousand dollars, with three handred stock- holders as “dead heads.” They are obliged to pay, however, for secured seats, This skirmishing on the outskirts is an interest- ing feature in the Operatic war, and will not be without its effect here. Meanwhile, let the Bos tonians and the Philadelphians rejoice while they have @ good thing, and support it as it deserves; otherwiee their jubilee will be of short duration. In the meanwhile, let the young ladies and the old ladies in the Fifth avenue and elsewhere hope on, hope ever. Let the dry goods dealers and opera cloak venders in Broadway, take heart of grace. New York is the only city that will support the Opera for a season of respectable length—that is, if it can be supported at all; and so New York will have the Opera coite que coli. Tue Coxstirerion Nuviarmp mw Virnenia.— We published yesterday and the day before, seve- ral letters from Portsmouth, Va., giving an ac- count of the raising of a Fremont flag, which was cut down by order of the City Council of the place. Our correspondents considered the ordinance of the Council an outrageous interference with the liberty of the citizen, and so do we. This journal has never countenanced attacks on the property of Southern men, and has sus- tained the South in the establishment of rules for the protection of that very peculiar property. Laws and ordinances, which are not needed in the North, and would not be tolerated here, may be required by the first principles of self-preser- yation in the South; and it is manifestly absurd for people here either to insist upon uniformity of rules for North and South, or to claim guperi- ority over the South in consequence of the greater number of ints on personal liberty there, At the same time, it is abaurd and unjust for the authorities of Southern cities or Southern States to enlarge the scope of these restraints, and to begin to see an assault upon their safety, or a threat against their prosperity, in every political movement that does not originate with them- selves. Governor Wise, in warning John M. Botts that he was forgetting the laws of treason, and openly hinting that he would present him before a grand jury, only succeeded in setting on foot a belief that he (the Governor himself) was crazy. Jndge Thompeon, arguing from the bench that not to vote for Buchanan was to deserve im- priconment in the penitentiary, achieved scarcely less - distinction, and even earned a rebuke from the Virginia press. Just so, the Common Council of Portsmouth have proved that they ave alike ignorant of the rights of American citizens under the constitution, and the true na- ture of the issues involved in the present canvass; and the only object which they will attain will be to spread a conviction that they are a narrow- minded, stupid body, and that if they fairly re- present Portsmouth the cause of that port's de- decline can easily be understood. Tue Late Visrration at Fort Hamurox.— In another column will be found a list of sub- coriptions, amounting to $614, which has been received from New Orleans by the Trea- surer of the Fort Hamilton Relief Fund. The generous donors could not have been aware of the fact that a similar subscription, which was tendered by the people of Norfolk to the Fort Hamilton sufferers, had been respectfully de- clined, on the ground that enough money had been collected to meet the claims created by the ravages of the late epidemic. These manifesta- tions of good feeling on the part of the eitizens of Norfolk and New Orleans prove the truth of the eld adage, that money given in charity is invested at good interest. The promptness with which New York has always responded to the calls of benevolence from other cities, now mects with a ready and liberal return when an oppor- tunity offers for the display of the grateful feel- ings which such conduct has evoked. This is as it should be. It is by the interchange of kindly offices on occasions of this sort that we can best give a practical contradiction to the assertion that the people of the North and South have no common bonds of rympathy.

IMPORTANT POLITICAL MOVEMBNTS—THE PLAN TO FRIGHTEN THE NOBTH—WILL IT SUCCEED. Wanminaton, Oot, 20, 1856. ‘The President and the Secretary of War are back at their posts, The Prosident very nicely avoided the cha- grin that a returm overland trip would cause him, by taking passage in the Wabash. ‘The Becretary of War comes back {ull of politics and Pluck. He has visited West Point, the Arsenal at Spring- field, Massachusetts, and other points at the North. He found al] right wherever he went. His tour wasa very quiet, gentlemanly one, Since his return I learn that he baa transferred nearly al}, if notzquite all, the troops from the forts on the Virginia coasts to other stations. Strapge and startling as it may appear, I am told that this bas been done for political effect. It is to enable the spoils democracy of Vivginla, by an apparent popular in- surrection, to selze those ports about a week before the election, as an indication—an earnest indecd—of what Gov. Wise, Jeff Davis, Gov. Adams, of South Carolina, and their followers mterd to do if Fremont shall be elected to the Presidency. It is @ trick to frighten the North. It is to clinch the nailon the head in Pennsylvania and New ‘Work in November, and frighten the commercial clasees into an abandonment of Fremont and ensure the success of Buchanan. It is not intended to goanyfurther. The mere movement, from past experience, will be enough. ‘This plan was to haye been submitted to the fifteen Bouthern Governors, who had been requested by Gov. Wise to, meet at Raleigh, N. ©. Only three Governora— Adams, of South Carolina; Wise, of Virginia, and Johnson, I believe, of Georgia—met. I am not posted up as to their proceedings. All I know is, that they were to- gether one day only. This insurrectionary scheme ‘s somewhat similar to the one which forced the passage of the Army bill at the late extra session. When the republicans refused to pass ‘that bill without the Kansas proviso, the Secretary of War discharged all bands atthe Arsenals at Harpor’s Ferry, Springfield and Pitteburg, and intended to dis- charge every man connected with the army upon the charity of the world. Throwing one or two thousand men out of employment frightened the republicans into sub- missien at once, and the Army bill became a law. Let us now see what effect this new and extraordinary movement will have on the doughfaces of the Central States. Mr. Guthrie bas appointed John 8, Newton, of Pensaco- la, Superintendent of Construction of the new custom ‘Bouse ordered to be constracted at that place. Half a million of dollars has been paid out of the Trea- sury since Saturdsy noon on account of government ex- penses. The democrats are rejoicing at their late triamphs, which are considered in political circles here as settling the Presidential contest in favor of Buchanan. Rumor says that Judge Douglas is tobe married to a Washington belie upon his return to the city. Hon. Robert J. Walker has visited Wheatland, and s0- licited a Cabinet appointment. Hon. Lemuel Dale Evans has returned to Washington. ‘The Fecretary of War bas returned from his visit to West Point. ‘The Secretary of the Navy’s health ‘s much improved, and he is expected here from North Carolina at the end of the month. ‘The steamer Wabash wil! jeaye Annapolis this week fur New York, and thence join the Home Squadron. A great number of invitatlons to # supper at the White Bouse this evening have been issued to the officers of the Volunteer Regiment of the District, and to other pro- minent participators in the reception of the President on bis retern to this city, and to distinguished public func- Nonaries. Fusion Meeting in Philadelphia. GREAT EXCITEMENT—INFLAMMATORY SPEECHES BY KNOW NOTHINGS—TRE KEYSTONE CLUB—SYMP- TOMS OF A FREE FIGHT—ORDER FINALLY RESTOR BD AND DELEGATES APPOINTED TO HARRISBURG. Pmtaperrata, Ost. 20, 1856, A meeting comprising all the elements of opposition to the Cincinnati platform was held this evening, in the reoms of the Central Republican Association, for the pur- pose of nominating delegates to the Union Electoral Con- vention to be beki at Harrisburg to morrow. Mr. Robert L., Martin was called to the chair, and G. ‘The Chairman stated the object of the meeting, and amidst interruption, declared the necessity of concentrat- ing all the elements of opposition to slavery extension and ‘the Cincinnati platform.
