The committee having this box ‘affair in charge were greatly incensed at the course of Mr. Jackson, and last night both branches of the Common Council adopted resolntions expres- sive of their dissatisfaction. In the Board of alder- men considerable valuable time was consumed in discussing the subject, and the conduct of Mr. Jack- son was rather severely commented upon by a ma- jority of the members, and defended by a smal! mi- nority. There is little doubt, however, but that Mr. Jackson's views will be fully endorsed by the public. Rev. George H.

Between their ticket and their principles the party t&kers at the salt works have stultified themselves, made their whole pro- ceedings ridiculous, and cast a direct insult upon the one-third of the population of the State in- | habiting this Metropolitan Police district. In fect, the good old wine of the democratic party is gone, and this Syracuse Convention was but the lees of the barrel. All the leaders in it are broken down politicians, and the leaders of their ticket are brieflese lawyers or broken down news- | paper editors; while between their resolutions end their nominations there is about as much barmony and agreement as between the equab- bling factions of Tammany Hall and the Sachems of the 7ridune office. The truth is that all our existing parties and fregments of parties—whbig, democratic, black republican and Know Notbing—are disintegrating end crumbling to pieces in the most inexplicable confusion. In thie State,in the reconstruction of tbese loose materials, there appear only two great powers at work—first, the moral power of oor honest aud conservative national administra- tion at Waehington ; ard secondly, the «pecula- stockjobbing and spoils and plander power of the new political element of railroad financier- ing. The moral power ot the administration is felt and recognized by the honest masses of the tiv | people, not only of the democratic party, but of | all other parties but it is the epoile and plander power of our railroad financiers that now operates as the balance of power in our party caucusses, cliques, cooventions and party nominations It ie amusing to turn, for example, to the loud profersions and high sounding resolations of th S)recure democracy upon Kansas, popular ' covereignty, black republicaniem, reform and retrenchment, and thea quietly to place all tui | and claptrap face to face with the | iumph of the railroad financiers in this Syra- we democratic State ticket. But what mattera | ugh Jndge Denio is brought before the verbiage tue acy, with the Metropolitan Police bill bie back, so long oe he was didate of the railroad fiaanclers and the Tammany politicians opposed to Mayor Wood What a splendid state of democratic harmony and reunion we have here, to be sure! The oaly eet of the State which saced the party from abeolute anvibilation last November, coolly sad éied with the mort atrocious art of municipal urpation of the last Seward Legislature, ard NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 105, 1857. saddied with it, too, fe a democratic State Con- vention affecting a most holy horror of the Se- ward oligarchy and all their works! Of course, between euch stultifying professions and proceed- ings, the wranglings and bickerings, and plots and counterplots of leaders and cliques and fac- tions will only be worse confounded than ever before, inside ond outside of Tammany Hall. But while such is the condition of our demo- ralized democracy, we perceive that similar ele- ments of mutiny and disorganization are at work in the Seward republican camp. A very large proportion of the Van Buren free soil wing of the democracy of 1848 voted for Col. Fremont in 1856. This division of the republican forces is now becoming restive under the corrupt Weed and Matteson regency. The Troy Times—former- ly a radical democrat, but now a republican or- gan—thus lets the cat out of the bag:— The t uth should be baora:; {ts timely utterance an 4 prove beneficial.

They will never consent that the re nubftoan party shall be made an agency for political ana treasury brokerage at Albany. Very plain talk that, and very clearly indi- cating that with the removal of the name of Fre- mont the charm which linked such diverse masses of the people of this State together last November is broken, and that these diverse poli- tical divisions are returning to their original ele- ments, The truth is, that from the corruptions ond dirty, selfish plots, intrigues and schemes of their stockjobbing and lobby logrolling leaders, all the late great party organizations of the State are tumbling to pieces; and the only remaining and reliable centre of fusion and crystallization among the honest and independent body of the people of all parties is the steady and faithful national administration of Mr. Buchanan. At the same time it is evident that the rail- road stockjobbing fraternity have assumed the management of our Legislature and our party conventions; for if at this crisis they can carry Denio as a democratic nomination and as a repre- sentative of democratic principles, what may not these railroad managers do with the party controlled by the Albany Pe ae Seward, Weed, Matteson & Company? fe these rail- road jobbers the whip hand for two years to come, and they will probably, in this State alone, secure the enormous internal improvement spoils of fifty millions of dollars, if we may judge | from the various projects they have in view. The Syracuse democratic politicians have spoiled the fine opening which was offered for a thorough chastisement in the lump of both the Albany oligarchy and the railroad stockjobbers. But still, in the November elections, we shall doubtless have some developements proving that the people are awake, and that their day of de- liverance from plundering lobby combinations and rapacious railroad stockjobbers is still with- in their reach. To this end let us watch the course of events, and the shiftings and driftings of the broken up parties and broken down poli- ticians of the da AND Paytc IN THE Fasmtoy- sie Wor.p.—We have had a good deal to say of late in relation to the pressure and panic in the world of finance, and have been quite curious to see how the miseries of Wall street would ope- rate upon the world of fashion—that world for which we import the laces of Valenciennes, the silks and velvets of Lyons, the bronzes and the Sevres vases, the rich carpets, the fine jewelry | and watches, the costly wines and other luxuries for which we have to pay out so many millions | Well, | of good hard specie money every year. | the butterflies who flaunt and flatter about with all these things, have come to town with the | | mosquitoes; and a fine show they make. The outside pressure and panic which they cause in. certain quarters are tremendous. The hotels, about midway between the world of business and the world of laziness—the St, Nicholas and Metro- politan—first felt the pressure, being overrun | with birds of passage from the watering places abd elsewhere. At these hotels all the apart- ments were crowded, and the rush increasing, the parlors, and even the dining rooms, were made dormitories for the time being—late travellers being obliged to sleep on “ cote,’ hospital fashion, This pressure afterwards extended to the more retired up town hotels, such as the Brevoort and Clarendon, and even the cool, quiet, breezy cor- ridors of the Everett House have been somewhat invaded by the rush of outside barbarians. The west eide of Broadway, between Canal and Eighth streets, is also suffering from a tremen- dous pressure of crinoline. The hoops are more extensive than ever—altogether un- getoverable and ungetroundable. The ¢rotoir is | even more impassable than the carriage way, and afwhionably dreseed lady takes up quite as much space as an omnibus. Near the hotels you may see crowds of fashionable and unfashionable | loafers from all parts of the world, while the mixed crowd of promenaders affords the most in- teresting study to the philosopher and the phi- lanthropist. The dry goods shops are the great- est gainers by the pressure. In old times the jadies were beats—now they are bulls. They for- merly flitted from shop to shop endeavoring to buy at the lowest possible rate; now, they all seem apxious to pay the highest prices for every- thing. The quality of the article is not consider- ed; the only question is, what it cost? The American female mind runs chiefly to spending mosey. Who would think that the hus- bands of there ladies who wear thou- sand dollar dresses and wipe their “dear” little noses with bundred dollar pocket handker- chiefs, were shinning about Wall street, borrow- ing money at three per cent a month, or pulling a long face and telling their creditors that they haven't @ cent in the world! The presture next cxtends to the theatres, the Opera, and all places of public amusement, | which are nightly crowded, the faces of a majo- rity of the andiences being unfamiliar to the habitus. The society people proper have not all returned to town, but the floating population quite makes up for their absence. The months of September and October make the most plea- sant season of the year in New York, and the loungers are enjoying it to the fall. There is no panic among them, except a nervous anxiety caused by fear that some one will spend more memey and make more show than they do. Pe Crevarsrer Prron, of the Richmond South newspaper, firet demanded of Mr. Buchanan the head of Governor Walker in a charger—now he will be satiefed with an old pair of his breeches. pa-Daas Ricumonp, one of the Syracuse politi- cians, say*, when the Central Railroad influence want a Legislature, any party, democratic or re- publican, is always ready to furnish the article at the shortest notice.
