The disclosures which have been made by Mr. Gibbons, of the Philadelphia Fremont State Com- mittee, and by Mr. Sanderson, of the Fillmore State Committee, touching the treachery of some of the Fillmore leaders and hucksters in the late Pennsylvania election, show very clearly that the union opposition State ticket was defeated by the treachery of many of its professed friends. That they were bought up or sold out is the gene- ‘al impression; yet there may have been a few of these scheming Fillmore men who supported the Buchanan cause in Pennsylvania under the delu- sive idea that by strengthening him in the North they would weaken him in the South, end thus increase the chances of giving a Southern State or two to Fillmore. The treacherons conduct charged against Mr. Sanderson and others of the Fillmore Philadel- phia State Committee, is not the only thing which has operated to give the State ticket to the demo- cracy by the skin of their teeth. The very con- vention which nominated Fremont abounded with the elements of treachery and indifference. Seward and his clique in consenting to surrender to Fremont’snomipation did so without any intention of working to electhim. Their objeet was simply to use Fremont as a pathfinder for the great op- position party in 1860, or as a snow plough to clear the track. Then there was the George Law and William F. Jéhnston North Am faction, holding off in a sort of independent h: and-balf Fremont movement for several months, negotiating for Cabinet offices and spoils, in the event of Fremont’s election, as the price of their undivided support of the republican Philadelphia ticket. We seriously entertain the opinion that W. H. Seward has been at least indificrent to the suc of the Fremont movement. It is not accord! his programme—it interferes with his plans, if successful, it may defeat hie ultimate tions as completely as it will defeat the of the disunion democracy. This view of the matter will probably account for the peculiar speeches which Seward has been making and there, complicating, distracting and confvs! the simple constitutional issues of the canvass, and embarrassing the public mind with false ise We also charge upon Thurlow Weed, Mr. Seward’s right hand man, something of a schem- ing indifference to the Fremont movement, noisy as he is in the support of Fremont. Atthe Phila- delphia Convention he would have defeated the nomination of Fremont it he could have done it; and for the all-sufficient reason that Fremont and his constitutional and national platform would put Seward in the background, among the waste lumber of by-gone days. in a word, what with buying and selling be- tween the Buchanan democracy and the Fillmore Know Nothing: ; what from bribery outside the eppusttivn cawps, and from corruption, treacle ry and indifference f the lave elections are 1 tions of the strength of the unbought popular sentiment of the count new order of things at Washi pendent newspaper pres have worked masses of the people faithfully together, ag: a combination of open enemics, faithless allies, and treacherous party Jeaders, and if the jependent peoy d their organ have not achieved an absolute victory, they have shown tha’ ers and faithless a yet be won. es, an absolute victory may Our Relations with Spain and Mexico. The Spanish government having disallowed the treaty made by its agent Alvarez with the Mexican government, and preparations for a invasion of Mexieo from Havana being still carried on with the knowledge of every one, it becomes a matter of moment to inquire what the administration of Mr. Pierce has done or pur- poses todo in reference to so alarming a state of affairs. There is every reason to believe that, unless the foreed sales of the church property should re sum, and that at an earlier date than there is any reason to expect, Mexico can offer to her Spanish creditors no better terms than she offered to Alvarez. The government of Queen Isabella has refused to ratify the Al convention on the ground, among others, that it stipulated for a revision, or scaling of the Span ish claims, to which it was not consistent with Sponishalignity to consent; but the real basis of the difficulty was obviously the delay which this new arrangement would have interpoe.! previous to sctual payment of the debie. Mexi sought this delay, in order to avail herself of the proceeds of the church property; she can do no more now: the sales of the ecclesiastical estates have not yet reached six millions of money, a large portion of which, if not the whole, has been expended in advance; so that, if Spain adheres toher present intentions and insite on better terms, the chanees are tha matters will come to a dead lock, and that an actual invasion of Mexi- co may be undertaken. That this contingency is foreeeen by the Spaniards, the article we pub- lished ou Wednesday from La Fipana, and the appointwnent of General Urbistondo, a noted fire- eater imported expressly from the Philippines, to the command of the expeditionary forces, leave no room to doubt. Simaltancously with these startling oceurren- cea, we learn that five thousand muskets are be- ing shipped from the arsenals at Havana to Senor Segovia, the notorious Spanish Consul for Domin- ica. It will be remembered that this Segovia has for some months been actively engaged in enre- gimenting all the vagahonds and jail birds of Do- minica into a sort of Spanish army, under the Spanish flag, and owing allegiance to no power tut Spain; and that, some weeks since, he had already enecceded in rendering himself, in fact the chief police authority on the island, an im- prrium in imperio of a novel and most dangerous cha- racter. The supply of munitions of war would leai one to suspect that Senor Segovia’s designs are not bounded hy the seaport where he resides, bat that he ie one of those ardent Spaniards who te- lieve that Iiepaniola should revert to the old o far larger re NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1856. Spanish crown, and that now is the time te effect the revgintion. % : Lastly, the recent politi¢al changes in Spain demand attemtion as incidents of note in the general imbreglio. Spain has just exchanged a moderate constitutional for a decidedly despo- tic government, and the men who have assamed power are known to be daring, unscrupalous, unprincipled. They are well aware that the real Spanish difficulty has lain less in the in- subordinate disposition of her people or the de- praved reputation of her court than in the disor- dered state of her finances, Money, which is the sinew of war, and the commonest of all springs ot revolution, has for years rendered the estab- lishment of a stable government in Spain a sheer impossibility. To the pertinacious de- mands of her English creditors Spein has in- variably, when driven to the wall, presented the same answer—the only one she had—revo- lation; she will continne to do so until some new method chal) have been devised for the repletion of her treasury. What method so fair as a reco- very of that old bad debt due by Mexico, by fair or by foul means? What source of income so promising as a re-conquest of St. Domingo, and ts conversion into a second Cuba, with vast p!an- tations worked by slave labor, and yielding a royal revenue? There is sufticient plausibility in the hypothesis to warrant inquiry. It would never do for us to allow Spain to reeonquer St. Domingo, or to be- come a catspaw for England in bullying Mexico. Humanitarian as well as political reasons forbid the toleration of either enterprise. We desire therefore to know what Mr. Marey has done to prevent the aecomplishment of any such designs on the part of Spain; and if he hae done nothing, as there is some serious reason for suspecting, we wish to suggest the propriety of some energetic movement at as early a day as convenient. With the prospects we have in a Presidential point of view, a little foresight may spare us a war hereafter, ‘The Presidential Contest as Viewed In Eu- rope. It must be a wonderful and an almost inexpti- cable spectacle to the monarchs and nobility of Europe, to the emperors, whose thrones rest upou ages, piled up.on the primeval usurpation, to the kings who have been raised to power by some re- cent convalsion, and in whose mind change is synonymous with bloodshed, civil war and general ruin to the nobility, trembling on a stand which every effort of the humen intellect threatens to precipitate—it must be a wonderful sight for these men to see the contest now pending in the United States for the election of a Chief Magis trate. There was atime when the United States were too small and puny a nation for their proceed- ings to attract much attention in Europe. In those days the peaceful election of a President was explained on the ground that the country was too large and the people too few and too poor to get up bloody revolutions. As soon as the country grows, said the monarchists, you shall see a very different state of things This explanation will net answer now. The United States are now ae great a nation—wealth, avyail- able power for military purposes, commerce, in- ternal resources, intelligence, extent of territory, and all other points of comparieon duly con- sidered-—as any of the European realms, not cluding Russia. There are as many vested in- terests here to disturb, as many poor persons to be stimulated by covetousness, as many dissatis- fied politicians as there ave in any of the coun- tries of Burupe. et the elections go on every four yearsas usual; the canvass proceeds with ¢x- traordinary violence of manner and language; but when it is over, and the votes are cast, every- body turns yound and goesback to his own trade, quite resigned to the verdict of the majority. This spectacle must be beyond the comprehension of the leading monarchists of the Old World. But it is not the only subject of wonderment in the Uitited States at the present time. There are three candidates in the field for the office of Chief Magistrate—President we call him, they would call him King or Ew in Lurope. Not ove of these has anything in Lis furor in the way Uitious advantagee—no wealth or heredi- mors, or prestige beyond that acquired by talents, James Buchanan was the sen y ia his own of a poor Pennsylvania farmer: his youth, and rose by industry and hard werk to ahigh standing in his profession, whenee he passed into public life and filed various high sta- tions with distinction; and now stands forth, in virtue of this record, as a candidate for Presi- dent. Millard Fillmore was also a poor far- mers sop, and in Lis youth an apprentice to a clothier: but feeling his power, be too studied law, attained eminence by his character, beeame Vice l’resident of the United States; and by a lucky accident for him, President as well. “The third candidate, John C. Fremont, came also of poor family, and was so poor in his youth that he was glad to find an opportunity of becoming an usher at Charleston in order to gain a pit- tance for his old mother: but having at last a chance of showing the metal of which he was made in the expleration of the Rocky Mountains and the conquest of California, he so used it that when the people wanted an independent, manly candidate for President, free from old party taint, they chose him. Of these three, one—Mr. Filimore—will have no opportunity of testing the resignation of the American people: he is out of the question ; bat of the other two, one will be the next President, and what is more-—dlespite all the bravado and gasoonade of the South—whichever of the pair he may chance to be, he will be quietiy wad ve spectfully received by hie defeated opponents That is a sight which has never yet been wit- neseed in Europe, and which Europeans cannot realize. Cavvaron Wenn axp Potrticas, Swismane. ‘The Chevalier Webb has given up Lord Claren- don for the present, and publishes yesterday a severe personal attack upon Mayor Wood. The Chevalier has in asother colamn of his paper av article deprecating personalities in political mat ters, but his attack upon the Mayor is not upon his character as a public man, but is founded upon some private commercial transactions which occurred several years ago. The Chevalier pitches into the Mayor like « perfect fire-eater, and charges him with cheating and swindling, by charging too much for butter, cheese and other commoditics. The official career and public acts of Mayor Wood are fit sahjects for disenssion, inasmuch as be is a candidate for reelection, bat if all his private transactions, which occurred some years ago, including his shipments to Cali fornia, are to be exhumed, why should we aot examine into certain swindling affuirs connected with the United States Bank, in which some per- sone who now s' * Up a public cen- sore and pinks of virtue were concerned? It is Very amusing to te a mao With his eyes raised theme! to heaven inveighing against the personal char- acter of Mayor Wood, when we recall the opera- tions of a certain Chevalier in relation to the bank, and under the Bankrupt law of 1840, when over an hundred thousand dollars of debte and thirty or forty thousand of assets were ellowed to balance each other, square accounts and settle everything. We recommend to the Chevalier Webb the consideration of the sacred text:— “Let him who is without sin among you cast the first stone.” Tae Reyereny Josern A. Scovnie Diswuss- rD.—For sometime past the Rev. Joseph A. Sc § ville bas enjoyed the mixed commission of pri- vate chaplain, confessor and political translator of George Law. But a few days ago, we under- stand, the poor and pious chaplain, confessor and translator was hauled up by the protective com- mittee of blood-suckers surrounding George Law, under the charge of high treason. We under- stand, further, that the specifications against the poor and pious parson were, that through his in- fluence in the Hxra.p office he had caused the re- cent articles appearing in our columns against the said George Law to be written and published; that he was a tale-bearer and carried two faces under one hat, &e. The decree of the Court was the igncminious dismissal of the poor and pious cbaplain, confessor and translator, from farther service in those capacities, and what is to become of him the Lord above only knows, In reference to the specitications against him, we dare say that Scoville knew no more of the offending articles in the Hrraxp before their pub- lication than George Law himself. Justice to all parties, however, requires that the facts of this late trial of Sooville before George Law’s com- mittee of suckers should come out. We have 2 right to demand them; and, by way of a begin- ning, we submit to the poor, pious and excom- municated pareon the propriety and expediency of a fall exposition of the whole matter to the extent of his knowledge. Tux Rat Svoxep Ovr—Booby Brooks, the rat candidate for Governor, has at length been smoked out of hishole; but, after dodging about a little under the tables and chairs, he has dodged back again. We hope that the working printers, however, who have suffered from his mean devices to reduce their standard of wages, will smoke him out again, and make his hiding place under the floor too hot to hold him. He says this ebarge of ratting is “an old enemy witha new face.” He thus virtually pleads guilty to being an old hand gt the business, He is, notwith- standing, very indignant at the charge, aud parades acard of the employés of the Expres establishment, in which they say that “in propor- tion to the hours of work, and the labor per- formed, they have reason to believe’ their pay “is as satisfactory as that of any other office in the State.” This statement of the case is drawn so very mildly that we suspect there is a catch ora dodge init. Very likely, if these gentlo- men are not now working as rats, they have had their wages raised since the nomination of Brooks for Governor: for the general testimony of printers who have worked in the Expres office and left is, is that Erastus Brooks is a rat—an old rat, and ahard old rat in money matters, Let us hear from the printers who are not under the thumb of Master Brooks: but who have tried him, proved bim, and condemned him asarat. There will be no necessity to go to Canada, for a cloud of witnesses are nearer at band. Smoke him out again. Jeper Wartine 1x rn Fiecy,—Jadge Whiting, who was clooted lust full to a seat, ou the bench of the Supreme Court, having ascertained his en- tire incapacity for that position, has ingenious! y availed himself of an opportunity to ran for the Mayoralty, resigned his seat on the Bench, and appears in the field professedly very anxious to reform our municipal affairs. His principal ov- gan-grinder is Mr. Erben, whe has been for along time engaged in the trade, and who has issued for him a manifesto to the public, which document is endorsed by a number of respectable mercantile houses down town, with the inevitable Captain James Lee at the top, and Peter Cooper at the bottom, calling a public meeting to be held at the Academy of Music on Wednesday eveni next, to present Mr. Whiting’s case to the peoy The gentlemen who have signed this mani are generally good endorsers in a commercial point of view. No doubt their paper passes eur- rent in Wall street, but we have yet to se whether it is as powerful in polities aa at the Liv change.” Judge iting will, we think, wa something stronger. According fo all appear- ances, Mayor Wood will have an casy, comforta- ble walk over the course. His opponents behave like boys first fledged in live—so full of spirits and buoyant with buckrai, that each little set must have a candidate. Bye and bye, we sup- pose, that cach ward in the city wil) have one. > Morr Orenatic Desrarcnrs—StraKosea ty me Froio.—We publish to-day several interest- ing communications in relation to the grand operatic war, including a bulletin from Maurice Strakosch, who repudiates the Messrs, Fry alto- gether, and contradicts the report that he was about to enter into an operatic speculation with them. This isto be regretted; for if the music had not been interesting, the management cer- tainly would have been. However, we hope to have the Strakosch company at the Academy, if not with the Frys, with some one else. We par- ticularly desire to hear Parodi in Opera again. She is, beyond peradventure, the best lyric artist now in the country, and in “ Norma,” “ Lucrezia Borgia” and several other roles, far superior to LaGrange. Let us have some arrangement by which we can again hear Parodi on the operatic stage.
