A-telegraphic despatch from Philadelphia states that late last evening the Fillmore Executive Com- mittee unamimonsly resolved to support the Union electoral ticket, and issued directions for the with- @rawal of the straight Fillmore ballote which had been prepared for distribation. Indeed, the various American organizations were geuerally following Me lead of the Fillmore electors, and declaring for wnion and the defeat of Buchanan. Mr. Kenneth Rayner, in the course of a speech last evening, read a despatch from Mr. Fillmore himself, plainly hir:- img to his followers thet if the adoption of t.¢ exion ticket was regard: as essential, they should net hesitate to do so.

The Great Battle. lo every State of the Union, except South Carolina, the American people vote this day for a President and Vice President of the United States, In South Carolina, where the State Le- gislature does the work, the people are saved the trouble of voting for the electors of a President and Vice President. We have made eur tele- graphic arrangements, and in the Heraxp of to- morrow morning we expect to announce the de- finite general result, in the success or defeat of Buchanan. ‘The returns from. Pennsylvania, which will reach us to-night, will probably settle the ques- tion. Within the last two or three days the prospects of the union ticket there have so ma- terially improved as to render it not only pos- sible, but very probable, that it will carry the State. The electors of the outside Fillmore ticket have withdrawn, thus leaving a clear fight between the union ticket and the Buchanan ticket. It was this outside Fillmore ticket that rendered the case, in our estimatien, utterly hopeless to the opposition as long as this ticket remained in the field. With its removad, all that the opposition have to do is to effect a change of less than two thousand voies in an aggregate of some four hundred and fifty thousand, to carry the State; and this change will very likely be effected in the single county of Lancaster. The usual opposition majority in that county is five thousand. In the late October election it was twenty-two hundred. The less was the Fillmore vote, which was thrown upon the democratic State ticket, with the view of weakening FremonS in the North, so as te carry the Presidential election up to Con- gress. Now, these Fillmore Americans have dis- covered that they can have no hope of carrying the election to the House without defeating Bu- chanan in Pennsylvania; and we are accordingly assured that Lancaster county this day will roll up her old solid opposition majority of five thousand. In addition to this, we are assured that there are several thousand Fillmore men in Philadel- phia who wil] also wheel into line, and so, more or less, throughout all the Eastern counties, where the democrats turned up sach unexpected ma- jorities in October. In the northern and western counties, on the other hand, where the popularity of Fremont did so much in October, it is natural enough to suppose that it will do still better in November, when the man himself stands at the head of the ticket of his party. Again: the demo- cratic importations of October from New York and New Jersey into Philadelphia aad other places in Pennsylvania, will be eut off in this fight; for they will be wanted at home. And yet again: there is a large reserved corps of the geod old Quakers and other quiet religious people, who will contribute to augment the opposition vote in he tone State to-day. If anything more were required to show that the game of the democracy in Pennsylvania is the desperate game of life and death, we have the proof in the arrest, yesterday, of Theodore D ringer, Deputy Clerk of the Philadelphia C: rt of Quarter Sessions, for the emission by whole- ale of fraudnient naturalization papers. Sacely not even Forney or bis unscrupulous gang of democratic pipe-layygs would resort to this despe- rate game of frand and forgery if they considered the State perfectly secure, The extent of their alarm may be measured by these infamous tricks and devices, in which they have been detected. The result, however, will be an inereased oppo- sition vigilance at the polis in Philadelphia city and county to-day, and we shall be glad if the operations of Forney & Jo. result in nothing worse thaa the exclusion from the ballot boxes of such of the new! afactured democratic vo- ters ag are known © come forward npon bogus naturalization papers. Thus mach for Pennsyivanin—the Malakof of the siege. We have avy quantity of evidence of a similar character in reference to Indiana, New York, the New England States, and the great West, ¢ g ladiana. are by the enemy 1 to Fremont. Let the opposition, how- carty Pennsylvania, and then we may gi'@ anan the vote of every Southern Stat , will still need twenty-nine electoral votes to elect him. Give him, therefore, in addition to every Southern State, Indiana, New Jersey 7; and California, 4. and be may still be beater§ Should Fillmore carry a Southern State or two, the case will be still worse for the democracy. At all eventa, from the present appearance o/ things in Pennsylvania, the prospects of the de- feat of Buchanan have never looked brighter since the Maine election. ee Rar on Suive.—The question of the next Pre- sidency, a« far as the suffrages of the people ae concerned, is to be decided to-day, rain or shine. From the signe of the weather overhead as ve write, there is a prospect of a rainy day, and if it should be so, it will be hailed as a good omen by the democracy. it has been well said, that in the business of an important election they will turn out should it “rain meat axes, grindstones and globes of fire; whereas, with many of the oppo- sition gentry. a rainy day operates asa perf t damper to their patriotiam. We trust, however, that in the matter of the Presidential election to. day, every voter in the United States, rain or shine, whether for Fremont, Buchanan or Fill- more, will come up to the work and do his daty, Kepecially is it the duty of every Fremont man to swell the popular strength of his candidate, at least by his own vote, rain or shine. No man is sure of another opportunity to vote for a Presi- dent of the United States, and with the sunset of this day the preeent golden opportunity, rain or shine, is gone—forever gone. Tur Ustox.—Thank God, the Union has snr- vived the terrible ordeal of the disunion de- mocracy. Whoever shall be elected President to-day. the danger to the Union for four years is over. Should Fremont come in by a handsome majority, or by a single electoral vote, there will be no farther threats concerning his imauguration. ‘The dieunion garne is played out—the treasury ie safe against highway robbery, and the Union is eafe till 1860. Reap voor Triexets.-—Never receive a ballot from any one without ope aing it and scanning it to vee that the ames are all right before you put it in fhe box. carefully Coleone! Fremont in History. Whatever may be the result of the present election for President, one thing iscertain—that the name of Fremont will be for ever distinguished in our annals. Nothing but an entire change in his future character and conduct can deprive him of the respect of the masses of the American peo- ple, or lessen their admivation of his great aud brilliant services. His whole career has been marked by eminent ability ; the extent of his at- tainments, his irrepressible devotion to scieace, the energy of his mind, and the immense value of bis discoveries, can never be justly disputed. ‘They never were, until the shadow of his coming greatness threw inte obecurity the small politi- cians who claim the high honors of the country exclusiwely as their own. But when these men, and the assailants who have been pushed on by these men—when their very names shall be forgotten—that of Fremont will go down to pos- terity with accumulating glory. “It is a solid fabric, and will support the laurels that adorn it.” And this is not the language of edulation—it is merely the foreshadowing of our future history. Two remarkable series of events have given Colonel Frement opportunity on the one hand for the developement of his great endowments and for the generous and timely appreciation of them by his countrymen, on the other. "These are what never can occur again together in the career of any other of our public men. ft will not happen te any of the class of such as now seek to become the President ef the nation, to have discovered, mapped and conquered a new eropire, and be the rallying point and ensiga bearer of constitutional freedom. His daring, persevering and successfuMadventures—his gal- lant conquest of California—the firmaess, yet gentleness, of his sway while in command—al! subordinate, however, to the love of science, and the advancement ef the good of his country have already found eulogists in every part of the world, in every hall of learning, in every com- mercial city. They drew from his own country- men their early admiration, and have fixed their continued regard. From the very poli- ticians who have since fastened upon him to destroy him, have come unsought acknowledg- ments and honors, which they caunot take back. His sudden rise in political life is truly re- markable. Trained and hireling office-seekers, who are always ready for conventions and nomi- nations--who, by prescription, deem themselves alone capable of governing this country—have been unexpectedly set aside for a representative whose antecedents have displayed comprehensive- ness of mind, ragacity of judgment, indomitable energy and inflexibility of purpose. It was seen that red tape could not much longer hold the Union together, when the constitation and the laws were beaten down in Kansas, and when American liberty was becoming a mockery anda dream. The crisis found its man in Colonel Fre- mont. His selection wax a great impromptu of the people. The scientific labors of Col. Fremont have been of no ordinary kind, and though common ob- servers have not given them much attention, those, | after all, who rule the world and give it fame have studied, appreciated and recorded them. When Mr. t, in his splendid address at Al- bany, paid his eloquent homage, and that of the Jearned men around him, to the memories of Co- lumbus and Galileo, he was but saying what other eqnally gifted orators will yet eay of Fremont. Possessing cebaracteristics that marked them both, performing the duties of an astronomer, a geologist, a chartographer, a meteorologist, and the leader of a band of devoted followers— opposed by the elements in all their fary, with trackles® plains to pase, mountain gorges to de- scend, and snow covered peak» to climb—with- out clothing, without water, without food, death thinning his ranks, and despair on every face but his own—do the wretched assailants of sucb a man, think that he will fall beneath their pany blows? Not only has be endured all this for his country, but he concluded his toils for her and for science, by the conquest of the territory he ex plored, and opened to commerce, industry and to freedom, ports and rivers unsurpassed in ex- cellence—a soil that gives to labor almost every product of the temperate and torrid zones—a State that, with its republican form of gover :- ment, is our dhly bulwark of liberty on toe Pacific, and with its inexhaustible supplies of gold, regulates for us the balance of the world’s exchanges, Is the man who has brought a!l this about, to be pushed aside by such miserable stipendiaries ax now aasail his character? Mankind in our own day have not been entirely indifterent to the value and the effect of such achievements. To name the labors of Humbo! J and Arago is but to name the predecessions { Fremont. Both those eminent Europeans in their scientific researches have endured the great- est trials, but neither, more than be. All have met with some romantic adventures for fools @ sneer at; since, indeed, these belong to and » { tend the earcer of, all great and remarkable me. { The friends of Fremont, then, whether in this contest they succeed or not, may congratulate themselves on the imperishable nature of his fame. There will be a niche for him in every temple throughout the world which is dedicated to the memories of the discoverers and founders of States; but for the mere politicians—thore who seek power for its personal advantage. and are actuated by vo great and lofty sentiments--there is neither shrine nor statue. They fie elsewhere in “the cross roads of fame”--the dust of the welée, which was the breath of their nostrils, be- comes their winding sheet and their graves, Mvsteas. Ox Dirs—That there is a hiteh negotiations between Monsieur le Baron de Stan- kovitch, the eminent Russian, and the Executive Committee of the Opera. The Executive Com- mittee demand from Monsieur le Baron one thou- sand dollars per week rent, which he is willing to pay, but there are certain other conditions which are not yet accepted. One of these is, we hear, tbat the redoubtable Max Maretzek shall have no band in the matter: and it is stated that a grand courcil of all the stockholders will be convened and the whole affair laid before them. There will probably be as much difficulty about this snag as the Baron's Russian friends had about that ugly third point at the Vienna Conference. In the meantime, however, there is a musical ex- citement looming before us. Thalberg, the great pianist, has returned from Niagara, highly de- lighted with his trip, and just in time to see the excitement of election day. His first concert is announced at Niblo’s Saloon on Monday next. M. Thalberg selects this comparatively sma)! hal), in order that every person in the au- dience may be able to hear and appreciate the delicacy of bis artistic touch and perfectly un- derstand his effecta. The price of admission, also, ie much «maller than that demanded by any artist of M. Thalberg’s position—-one dollar. We can- not but commend the witdom of the management, an’ predict for the artist a splendid eucgem, ‘The Black guardtsm of New York Politica. It has offen been said, at our elections, that the force of scurrility and b'ackguardism could no farther go ; but this fall, we think, the politicians have oul done themselves, Moat assuredly never was 2 canvass conducted with more reckless bru- tality, or more complete disregard of the decen- cles ef life. Mr. Grote, the bistorian of Greece, in under- taking to justify the character of Cleon, the great Athenian democrat, entreats us to believe that the virulence of “ language with which he assail- ed his politioal opponents Nicias and Pericles was awell known feature of the society in which he lived, and nowise peculiar to the tanner himseli. ‘He quotes Cleon’s great enemy, Aristophanes, to prove that it was usual at Athens for politicians to abuse each other heartily, and accuse each other of the most heinous crimes; but, as the honest lover and eulogist of the Athenian demo- eracy, he charges himself with the duty of show- ing that this excessive virulence and recklessness of party strife were not,,as might be eupposed, symptoms of a low state of society, but were relics of a rade stage of civilization that was rapidly passing away. We fear that if Mr. Grote had had as mach ex- perience of American as he has had of English politics, he would have felt it less incumbent upon him to frame eneuses for the foul-mouthed ora- tors of the Pnyx. For, certainly, Cleon himself would have seemed a model of gentleness and digaity in comparison with some of the speakers who have flourished in the present canvass, The bitterest sarcasms of the Athenian comedies read tamely after the highly spiced abuse of our party political preee. They were content with a warmth like that of good Madeira; we use the overproot whiskey. Take for instance the speeches that have been delivered, and the articles that have been written, in reference to Fernando Wood's candidature for Mayor. Why, if the man had been caught in the act of picking pockets, or burning churches, or committing half a dozen murders, he could not be abused in more savage language. Here isthe Hon. John MeKeon, no less a personage than the United States Distriet Attorney, who gets up in public, and talks about “ only alluding to sach of the Mayor's offences as are felonies punishable with State prison;” “his resemblance to Huating- ton, the forger;"* his “ base, black frauds;” and so on, as though really Mr. Wood had just escaped Equally from or was on his way to Sing Sing. violent language hag abounded in papers that de- sire to defeat Wood and elect some candidate of their own choosing. Another prominent charac- ter, ex-Judge Whiting, who had had the advantage of sitting on the Supreme Court Bench, black- guarded, in his theatrical speeches, not only his rivals for the Mayoralty, but all who did not happen to think that he himself was the best man for the office. Blackguarded them with coarse, savage language, sueb as the ruflians of the Five Points use, and no other class of society. Yet his audience sat still and listened. : We bave seen the same spectacle in the aational contest. We have heard United States Senators, Congressmen, and the leading men of the Sout! justify, in the most unbesitating manner, the as sault of Brooks on Senator Sumner—a deed of which a netion of cannibals might blush. We have heaid the whole North abused with the ferocity of wild beasts, and its leading men howled at and hooted upon-—as visiters sometimes are when they venture inside the violent wards of insane asylums, And this, not by the mobs of the Southern cities, bai by Governors of States, rising politicians, leading editors, members of Congress. Co}. Forney, the right hand man of Mr. Buchanan, announces that his friends will wade in blood to their saddie girths rather than lose Kansas ; Col Brooks declares that he will march on Washing- ton and seize the arebives and the public money. if his candidate is defeated. Meanwhile, a} round, but chiefly among the partisans of Mr? Fillmore, Colonel Fremont has been assailed with unexampled malignity. We verily believe that, in the whole coufse of free elections, there can be nothing found to equal the wickedness and the falechood and the malignity and the mears ness apd the villany of the course of the New York Zxpres toward Colonel Fremont since h@ tion. ‘hat the result of this shameful weg} may ultimately prove, it were bard to say; asd&fedly, it operates just now to keep respectable men from the polls. Mewnens ov Coxoness ror tan CreyTt is a singular fact that this great metropolis has re- cently been represented in the Congress of the nation by some of the worst and meanest speci- mens of humanity that could be drawn from the lowest strata in the different districts. For the past twenty-five years we have been digging down through the political strata till we have come to the lowest ledge, and now it seems almost impos- sible for us to take an upward turn. On look- ing over the lists of the candidates presented for popular support te<imy, we find a heap of rub- bish, put forward by rubbish conventions, aud generally not fit for the support of any Christian man. ‘There are still, however, some good names; but among the eighteen or twenty candi- dates before the people there are hardly more than three or four who are worth notice, or any effort to elect them. Without any regard to their party affinities, and having in view only their own merits, we should select Horace F. Clark, in the Eighth district; John Cochrane, in the Sixth, and George Briggs, in the Seventh, These, with one or two others, form the only exceptions to the great mass of trash hardly above the average of small potato ward politicians. Mr. Clark has been nominated by the demo- cracy. We don’t consider it any particular advantage to have been nominated by the demo- craey. The democracy is made up of good and evil, with a pretty large slice of the evil prepon- derating. Mr. Clark, however, is an able, ind J pendent, talented man, and will be voted for without regard to his political affinities. The only thing that we know against him is that he oined the confederation of blackguards—for we cannot cal) them anything elso—-who have been hunting Fernando Wood as if he was a royal Bengal tiger in the democratic jungle. We learn, however, that Mr. Clark has now come out from this faction, and heartily supports Mr. Wood. ‘Then there is John Cochrane, who is almost as well known as John Van Buren, Cochrane is more consistent than Van Buren, and has more stoffin him. John has a good deal of wit and humor when he is so minded, but of late he has heen rather sombre and tragical. John isa capa- ble, clever, industrious man, and the only objection to him was his connection with the Libby movo- ment. He haa, however, come out from it shaken the dust off his fect, cleansed his gar- mente, and now stands right. He is an able man, and will make a good member of Congress, Mr. George Briggs has been in Congresa, He was a har@ working. good member, and deserves ephomeral party organs as will die out entirely, For ourselves, we are glad that the long agony with the morrow a new and wider field of enter- prise, research, inquiry and analysis will be opened before us The national election may settle the question of the next Presidency —the question of Kansas as a free State, or asa she State; but it will unfold a variety of other ques~ tions, great and small, some of the highest inte- rest to all parties in the country, and some of the greatest moment to the whole civiliz vorld. We begin, to-morrow, a new chapter A off po- litical history; tor whether Fremont ¢, Bachanim eball be elected, we shall havean ex¢iting revoln. tion of some sort, among our politicians, spoils men, and parties, and in our public att at Washington. With Fremont’s election, this revo- lution will be grand and comprehensive; with the success of Buchanan, it may be reduced to the old squabble for the spoils, among the cliques and factions of the fieree democracy. In any event, an interesting tiie is promised. and we pro- mise our readers their full share of thé fun. to goagain. As to Mr. Daniel E, Sickles—since our faverke, General Walbridge, walked off the course to seek fatter pastures than are afforded by 2 seat, in Congress—we have no particular ob- Jection to see Sickles elected, and if he is snz- cessful we will give him a fair chance to show his speed and bottom as a member of Congress. As for the other candidates, they are hardly worth mentioning. We really don’t care what the voters do with them. They may, if they like, salt them down, pack them in pork barrels, and send them to Nicaragua ag food for the patriots. e first thing that every yoter should do this morning after eating his breakfast and kissing the baby—no, he won't have time to kiss the haby—is to go straight to the polling place and deposit his vote for Fernan- do Wood. He isthe only man among the whole lot of candidates worth the trouble of crossing the street to vote for, He is the only man who has the pluck and courage to be the Mayor in reality, and give us something like a government in spite of the ridiculous and absurd charter un- der which we live.

Too Mr. Barker is an amiable man—says his prayers regularly at church, but is a perfect nincompoop. Mr. Libby has no chance whatever. He simply represents the bad manners and worse eloquence of John McKeon and Robert J. Dillon. Judge Whiting and the immortal Branch are in the same category. We really can’t say which of the two is the most suitable or the most unsuit- able for the place, and we rather think that two new offices should be ereated for these distia- guished individuala, in this wise: There should be an establishment for the elemental educagfon of rising young politicians, of which Whiting and Branch should be appointed first principals. Canxpiwares ror Crry JupGe.—The first man on the list is A. D. Russell, the democratic candi- date. The Know Nothings have nomiuated Jobn H. White, and the republicans Elisha S. Capron. The candidate put forward by the Libby oyster cellar faction is no candidate at all. He is not fit for the post. He knows more about making pantaloons than decisions. Mr. Russell is the democratic candidate, and, in spite of all the abuse heaped upon him by small, mean poli- ticians, about the Tombs and elsewhere, he stands best with the people, and will be elected. Mr. Russell is a highly respectable legal prac- titioner of twenty years’ standing; he is well acquainted with city life, and is a good lawyer. Some persons have represented Mr. Russell as a Know Nothing. We know from the most un- doubted authority that he is nothing of the kind, He repudiates the ultra ideas of the Know Nothing party. He has been a democrat in sentiment and feeling since his boyhood, and will undoubtedly bfing out the full strength of the democratic vote, together with a great many of the naturalized Germans and Irish, who will support him without the slightest hesitation. Mr. White is the real Know Nothing candidate, and is full of their absurd notions, He should not be thought of fora moment. Capron is the man who was brought down from the rural dis- triets by Thurlow Weed’s Governor, and appoint- ed to fill a vacancy. Capron is well known as an ultra, violent, proscriptive temperance advo- cate, and is entirely out of place in this latitude. He has not the slightest chance to obtain even the moiety of the republican vote. Me will do well to leave town and scek fresh fields and pastures ever new in his rural home. There, afar from the din and roar of the great city, he may repose by the side of a purling brook—seck shelter under some umbrageous tree; he may enjoy nature in all her freshness, away from the terrible rum holes and liquor shops of this great metropolis.

Beesaxas at Home.—In another column will be found a letter from Lancaster, giving another of those familiar pictures of this dis- tinguished statesman’s home life, which have al- ready excited so much interest among our read- ers. It is natural that the habits, the occupa- tions and the associates of men pretending to the highest honors which the country can confer, should be regarded with curi- osity and freely canvassed by those whose destinies are in a measure placed in their bands. Thus, for instance, it is highly important for us to know who are to compose the next Kitchen Cabinet, in the event of Mr, Buchanan's election, and this can only be learned by our keep- ing a close eye to the dinner list at Wheatland. Such of our lady readers as may be desirous of ascertaining the tastes of the “favorite son,” or of anticipating the prospects of the Washington seasons under his administration, will also find it useful to turn to these letters for information, By the aid of our correspondent’s descriptions, assisted by the sun pictures of Brady, they can form a tolerably correct idea of what the White House will be under a bachelor régime. ~ Markets.

It is hardly worth while at this howr of day to undertake to correct the misstatements of the Buchanan organs; but the view given of Col. Fremont’s position in the Journal of Commerce of yesterday is so false and disingenuous that we think we may stop to expose it. ‘The Journal takes exception to Col. Fremont on the ground that he has had no official or par- liamentary experience. So much the better for him. No great executive officer ever was trained in parliamentary or official harness, The great rulers of nations—Bonaparte, Cromwedl, Wash- ington, Jackson—were new men when they rose to command. If Col. Fremont is not fit for the Presidency, then they were not fit for the posta they filled. To prove Fremont a disunionist, the Journal quotes the language of certain raving abolition- ists of Boston, who bave declared and published, over their own signatures, that they were op- posed to Fremont, and preferred Buchanan, as the more likely man of the two to hasten the dis- rolution of the Union. This the Journal does when almost every prominent friend that Ba- chanan has in the South is in favor of disunior§ proclaims that to be his opinion, and is ready to take up arms to-morrow. Such is the journal which is understood to be the mouthpiece of Wall strect picty and mercan- tile respectability.
