THE NEW YORK HERALD. — WHOLE NO. 7759. FOUR DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE. Arrfval of the Steamship Fulton off Cape Race, WHPROVENENT IN FINANCIAL AFFAIRS, ADVANCE IN CONSODS. BREADSTUFFS HEAVY AND DULL, Sr. Jonna, N. F., Nov. 28—P. M. The New York, Havre and Southampton Steam- ebip Oompany’s steamer Fulton, Captain Wotton, * arrived off Cape Race at about sunset last evening, ‘and we are indebted to Captain W. for a brief sum- mary of four days later intelligence from Europe. The Fulton left Havre on Tuesday, the 17th, and Southampton on Wednesday, the 18th inst., at 3 clock P.M. She has seventy-one passengers and upwards of two hundred thousand dollars in specie. Bhe has also a very large and valuable cargo of French merchandise. The Cunard steamship Europa, from Boston via ‘Halifax, November 4, arrived at Liverpool on the ‘36th instant. ‘The financial advices brought by the Fulton, al- though not so exciting as those of the Vanderbilt, four days previously, are nevertheless of absorbing ‘interest. ‘The good effects of the suspension, by order of the government, of the Bank Charter Act, were still showing themselves everywhere throughout Great Britain. ‘The money market at London and at other cen- tral points was firmer than at the sailing of the steamers Vanderbilt and Africa on the 14th inst., and the demand for discount at the Bank of England was less pressing. Several prominent houses had been compelled to suspend payments, but in the list of failures we do not recognise any engaged in the American trade. Consols, under the improved feeling in financial circles, had advanced, and closed on the afternoon of Tuesday, the 17th instant, at 89$ a 89) for money. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. COTTON. From some inexplicable cause we have not’ as yet received any intelligence concerning the Liver- pool cotton market. BREADSTUPFS. ‘The breadstuff markets at Liverpool, London and throaghont England continued exceedingly dull, and quite a panic had prevailed. The prices were nearly nominal, even for choice qualities, whilst in- ferior was totally unsaleable. We hope to receive fuller details of the general, financial and commercial news in season for publica- tion on Monday morning. MAYORALTY MEETING AT TAMMANY, THE WORKINGMEN FOR MAYOR WOOD. Address to the Working Classes. SPEECHES, RESOLUTIONS, de., A meeting of the workingmen in favor of the ye-election of Fernando Wood to the Mayoralty was held last evening in Tammaay Hall, in compliance with the following announcement, published in the morning papers:— m ‘The workingmen amd their friends will meet in council to Tammany Hall, on Saturdag evening, tho 28th inst, at ‘7% o'clock, When measures @f vast importance will vented for their consideration. By order of J. Meee Beiry Chas. Smith, Jacob Windmilier, Ira B. Davin, L Geraty, committe of arrangements. About 7 o'clock the workingmen began to arrive ‘an! in half an hour after there was a sufficient num- Ber present to form a meeting, It was one of the mos! respectable and intelligent audiences that ever a3 mbled in Tammany Hall, and though not so large ‘ws some we have seen there, yet in poiut of character und effectiveness it was not inferior to any. ‘The meeting was organized by the appointment of Mr. Charles Smith ag president, and the following gentlemen officiating as vige presidents and sec- retaries:— View Presinevrs—Stephen Barker, H. Reed, Richard Dougherty, Charles Bolwell, H.N. Corr, Alonzo Adame, Joba Mel Russel White, Sami. T. Munson, P. Ger: arty, Chan. McCarthy and Jas. Carpenter. autes—John Angevine, Samuel I’. Spies, Thomas Martin and Sami. Poole. The Pxesipewr briefly returned thanks for the Ronor confered upon him, in appointing him to preside over a meeting of the working classes. It was true that the meeting was not so Jarge as under ther circumstances they might reasonably expect, ‘Dut it must be borne in mind that there were a large ‘number of other meetings held throughout the city tonight, and all of which had the aeme object in ‘view—the re-election of the Mayor to the office which the now holds, In conclusion, Mr. Smith introduced ae. fe, have the key of what and of whom we ik. As — rae E prone to ie ali, or to ‘ in arraying clase against cl ere are rerio, however, when it becomes necessary, in vim- Mention of ourselves, that we should reveal our th oughts in this particular. Unlike ¢he calamniators of Mr. Wood, we have no need of manufacturing ac- ene ttions or epithets against the morality or honesty othe promaens in which his villifiers of Wall street are found. The organs of the jon are every day reminding their readers of the great respecta- pility of those of whom the Wali street meeting was catiposed. They tell us that it waa made wp of merchants, kers, brokers and ,— 4 lators. If we wish to measure the depth of what constitates the proper — elements of @ true respectability, we may perhaps differ as to our iit in auch conclusion. Men, upon this, Vike all other subjects, entertain different views. ‘With regard to the bankers, brokers, and money changers, we are told, from sacre hority, that ‘the rekpectable and ancient prototypes of these im- proved modern yocatians were whipped from the tem- Be they, pelea With their presence. With this view tae ciateas of onch mon to zeamectahity. we ‘would in the language of who ‘exer cised y to all, and say to these personators of , and respectability, “Let him who is free sin the first stone.” From the cent per cent commaatiana which these men follow, and the practices 7, to obtain wealth, we oust see that it is no’ ciipciien to the yeesooal character of the Mayor which has invited op- . From whence, then, comes the concentrat- ed vituperation with which he is so venomously ? Dose spring, teloks you, from the se- rene and pure stream Bul along the rivers of truth, or is it summoned forth from the black abyss wherein is engendered the spawn of that false- hood which diagnsts us with the abomination of its existence? What, we ask, has ked the strange as it ma} » the stan Nhe pelting of this pitilean storm for the announcement of a truth, or an admitted axiom in litical economy, namely: “That those who pro- roduce nothin inte werythings? “What werime is ez get € 3 a'crime The enunciation of truth to those who have fattened and thriven from the proceeds of the earnings of the supposed ignorant rs, who contribute with- out murmuring to increase the wealth they are not permitted to enjoy! And what a perception of the intelligence of the masses do these men betray in be- lieving that we do not know from what source prings the agsrogate riches which surround us! With such evi of the lamentable ignorance of these respectable occupations, can it be wondered at that our enlightened and practical Mayor has been so successful in Cay fm and soothing the ex- cited feelings of the multitudes of men who are al- most driven frantic by the sad knowledge of the misery and destitution with which those love are being visited. Foreseeing the dreadful effects that must follow the want of employment on the part of those who labor the coming winter, Mr. Wooa submitted a number of propositions to the Common Council, whereby the people might be em- ployed and provided for. " For these things he has been abused and misrepresented. Seeing that mo- ney could not be immediately pecuee, he recom- mended that flour, potatoes, &c., should be paur- chased upon the city’s credit; he did not ype hat these articles should be given away, but with his erience of the independent character of the work- ingmen of this city, he knew that their manhood would not be insulted by the exchange of their labor for the exchange of those artjcles which their fami- lies needed; he was sensible that they did not ask alms, but work. He has labored indefatigably to do what he conceived to be the best for the public good; and yet he has been reproached for attempting to em- ploy and thus feed the laboring man and his family, f the very men who would have held him accounta- ble, if he had not listened to their appeals for the service of bis well timed interposition. From the efforts which have been made by the Mayor to pro- tect the people from the fearful visitation of misery and destitution, Jet us now proceed to scrutinize the proceedings of the meeting which was held at the erchants’ Exchange. In order that we may com- “mit no injustice to the respectable parties there as- sembled, we will here introduce the resolution which contains the pith and substance for which this party have taken the field:— Rezolved, That all classes in this city are suffering from the derangement of business; merefiant, mechanic and laborer alike, and that no substantial relief can be afford- ed until contidence is restored in the honesty of those who expend the public revenue. Then private capitalists will be ready to invest their surplus means in new enterprises, the’ wheels of human industry will once more be set in motion, and the laboring classes, re-asserting their posi. tion as Self supporting men, will reject with indignation all largesses of food purchased with the public funds, as equally demoralizing to them and injurious to that respec: table and useful class of tradesmen who now supply them with the necessaries of life. Inthe first sentence of the above, we find that atter stating the fact that the present bank revulsion has involved every class in one common rain, it goes onand declares “that no substantial relief can be afforded until confidence is restored in the honesty of those who expend the public revenne.” So, then, it happens that the people are to be deprived of em- Joyment until such time as clave of disin- rested patriots are satisfied with the men whom the people may select. Up tothe present time we had not imagined that our present misfortunes origi- nated with the expenditure of moneys by our munici- pal agents. Perhaps the getter up of resolution will at some future time endeavor to sustain his posi- pm gee a send to elucidate its _ may edify us by proving or explaining how mac! Mr. Tiemann, in his capacit Commis- sioner, has extracted from iblic treasury. After having made the threat to which we have alluded, we then read: “ Then private capitalists will be ready te invest their surplus means in new enterprises, the wheels of human industry will once more be set in motion.” Here again the profound logician of Wall street gives us another proof of our want of intelli- before that the suspen- ness is wholly attributable to Mayor Wood and his unfortanate associates of the city government. To end the point of this teeming sentence we have it emphatically stated: “ And then the laboring classes, reasserting their as self- paces | men, will reject with indignation lar- gesses of food purchased with the public funds, as equally demoralizing to them and injurious to that respectable and useful class of tradesmen who now supply them with the necessaries of life.” For the instruction of this abetter of untruth and drivelling sophistry, let us say that those whom he designates as self-siippor men are they who by their labor support the mig! ty fabric of society; from the ac- tion of their muscles he and the animals who prow! with him, are enabled to spend their lives in lassivi- ous ease, Selt-supporting, indeed! The application of this derisive term expresses the real character of the class of idlers to which he belon, If it were not for the exercise of the industry of the practical producers, who extract wealth from the raw mate- rials of nature, from whence would the endorsers of this insulting resolntion bave gathered their lands and houses? Is it not enough that these men are allowed to gorge themselves to jon, and revel in every kind of luxnry, from the means they have abstracted from the ‘masses, without provoking from those who labor the retort that they receive from us, while not a a , the substan- tial elements wherefrom their phywical wants are supplied. We are also told that we will reject with inate ation the largesses of food purchased with the public funds. We have already stated that there ave heen no gifts of food asked for or given.

As moralists or lecturers who have taken upon thomselves the task to shield us against the awful derioralization which most arise from the action of Mayor Wood im the attempt to furnish as a ment, we respectfully suggest that we think that tie only way of arresting demoralization is for our pub- ic men to pursue a course that will give us not only temporary, but with it the asenrance of that stabilit} of labor of which we have been hitherto so frequent ly deprived. Let us look for the causes which have operated aa the agents in divesting us of our aecus tomed labor. Our deprivation of the means of em- a has not been the result of any visitation of either famine or pestilence. The Almighty in his good- nees has blessed us with an overabundance of the ele- mente of subsistence. Yet, in a land teeming with these things there is ascending to Heaven one con- tinned constant cry of ized lamentation for wark wherewith to obtain the coarsest food to with- stay the harrowing approach of starvation.

Following the example of the mammoth institution in the system of expansion and contraction in the issue of paper money, these State inati- tutions produced the of 1836-7, The government up to that time had lost aver thirty- five million of dollars by its connection with banks, and the direct or indirect profit of banks up to 1840 amounted to one thousand million dollars; or, in other words, the banks had robl the people, through the instrumentality of substituting pieces of of for gold and silver, of one thousand millions of dollars. The great democratic party of that day having become sensible of the ruinous and demora- lizing tendency of further connection between the general government and these banks, instituted the present system ofan independent treasury. They established the wise policy of having the financuil transactions of the nation conducted with gold and silver. Having thus freed the government from the iability of being further detrauded by these institu- tions, the banks have been since limited to pursue their depredations upon the inhabitants of the differ- ent States by the assent and connivance of the Le- gislatures in each of these distinct sovereignties. Since 1s40 it is estimated that the banks in these localities abstracted from the people, through direct and other means, the enormous and alarming sum of between two and three thousand million of dollars. By this, too, it will be seen that since the organization of this go- vernment, that our citizens have been plandered, by the instrumentality of bankers and brokers, of four thousand million of dollars, to build up an aristocracy, who hold in their hands these stupen- dous swindling faro tables, upon which they with stocked cards at successful hazard the su i # and it was ined 3 HI Feil i game of controlling the destiny of masses of the American people with the mot they have thus obtained. They not i direct the legislation of the States, “but when i becomes necessary they influence and canse the judicial officers of our’ highest courts to justify them in their dishonesty, in setting both conven- tional and constitutional law at detiance. This is the machinery which is moved by the adroit engi- neers of the paper system, and such are the results Vhen it is the interest of these extensive pol offices to expand, it is done ; when to contract, it is execnted—no matter what or who the sufferers may be. Unlike our engineers upon steamboats or railroads, self-protection restrains the latter from collapsing, but the adverse is the case with those who have the management of the public trains, in which the interest of the people is em- barked ; instead of using a vigilant precaution to prevent disaster, their selfish purposes [rads them to vitiate the power of propulsion, and thus cause an explosion which, in its effects, leaves but the pre- sence of the scattered fragments of the conveyance upon which those who had travelled to financial de- struction could f pre Such, fellow workingmen, are the pursuits and character of the men who have the self br apo impudence to coin at the tribunal of public in pe ion, the character of a public officer, whose chief crime consists in endeavoring to relieve the people from the difficulties which have been brought upon them through the wicked designs of the very men who now preside over and harangue ian for the Tot hin defeat. It has been alsa stated by one or two persons cal themselves democrats, at the Academy of Music, that the pro- positions made by the Mayor are of an agrarian cha- racter; the second said that these su, were revoln' in their tendency. Now, it is somewhat far-fetched for the first of these orators to have used such terms, especially when these unmeaning accu- tations have been so often te fy to the democratic party whenever it was found advancing principles of an equality of rights to every citizen so far as the action of government was concerned. If the speak- er who put forth the opinion that to buy and ex- change flour and potatoes for labor is revolutionary in its consequences, what should the logic of this man, who sees revolution in the combustible mate- vial of a barrel of potatoes, exact of his confederates, who by a precedent of revolt againgt the State, shut » their gold and refused to meet their liabilities? hat would have been the conduct of this Congress- man, who smells red republicanism at the idea of starving men, who meet and complain of the misery which been brought upon them by the action of his present fellow conspirators? Suppose that these men were to refuse paying their rents while employ- ed, and were to call upon the Judges who sustained the banks in their suspension, to extend a like pro- tection to them, would he not have called upon all the powers of the State to prevent such a violation of the rights of the landlord? From the accusations which have been so unblushingly made by those to whom we allude, we must see that such were the terms of alliance between men who pretend to be the exponents of the democratic principle which incul- cates a strict adberence to doctrine of justice and humanity, and those who have gathered at = Fa spf apd any me Lage where they coul we the op Ly opposing the liberal execution of ‘isos vate In the conduct of these two unworthy officials at the Academy of Masic we have the revolting picture of how far ‘pri- vate malice will pervert, exaggerate and misrepre- sent the action and motives of those whom it so ma- licionsly pursues, We have been told that, as work- ingmen, we have no right to call upon our municipal or State government for employment or subsistence; we answer by saying that under ordinary cireum- stances, we will admit that our claim is unsound or invalid; but as the old maxim states that “circnm- stances alter cases,” we find that there is a reasona- ble exception which we will urge in this particular instance. Among the duties which the ite obli- ites itself to carry out, is that of preventing class legislation; the strict intention of guaranteeing to our citizens.an be ped of righta, in the free pur- snit of every kind of bosiness, is a distinct and re- cognized feature in the code or constitution of our neral and State governments.

I remember, when a boy, listening to the doctrines taught by old Jackson—I saw the old man when he pee through Philadelphia to New York, and I studied the characters of the men by whom be was supported, and contrasted it with the charac ters of those who were opposed to him. [thoaght at that time if I had never made the subject of polities a matter of consideration, that there would be no difficulty in making a distinction between those who identified themselves with the interests of the work- ingmen and those who had no interest in common with them. Now, I say, it is easy to make the same distinction to-day, and 1 ask you, is there not some- thing “rotten in the state of Denmark” when those who prodace everything are in want and destitution, and those who produce nothing live in a state of af- fluence and Inxury? And now we see the pro- futaly starving—yen, when wo longor Faqelrea, mi [—yes, when no 5 They tre 50s wanted; and tile, tho, by bonkers, by the brokers, by the speculators swindlers of Wall street. fow let me call your at- tention to the swindling operations by which these bankers im upon the classes, and when they have done so, cast them off as unworthy of re- lief. It is in the bank paper that the devil I yes, that’s “the nigger in the fence.” (Laughter and ap- plane Here, for instance, a batch of men come ngether, and say we would like to accumulate an immense fortune—we would like to be allowed the rivilege of CG iceagy, * the workingmen out of the fruits of their labor. Now, they say further, we have a nice way to effect this if we are only permitted. Now, I tell yu, continued Mr. Davis, that it is just such men as these who have gone from the democra- tic party over to the knaves of Wall street. It is they who bave generated these evils, for it was through their instrumentality that ~ these privileges were granted to these men, ——. them free to « on their swindling operations. Having obtained these privi- # they find out those men who have hushanded a little p rty, and say to them, You have a few thousands In bank and we see that you are indns- trions and thrifty—we can place you in a position where you will | wealthy more rapidly, If you come to our bank we will [end you paper dollars, for which you must pay ns so much interest.

Now, these bankers, these swindlers, these speculators that don't labor, but who scheme to defraud the mechanic, and whose uted persons were whipped out of the temple by he Saviour-—these are the men who are op the candidate of the working classes, and w! on their respectability. (Laughter and Lanse.) We now see the workingmen whose labor these harpies have accumulated their wealth, in rags, in poverty, asking for work, and who, they are oor, are called the and bobtail.

(Cries of “No, no.”) Well we don't com- plain so much of fegal fraud, provided that there is an allowance made and that the poe steps are taken for the removal of the evil. And when these steps are taken it is unfair to call those who are in favor of them red republicans, agrarians and so- cialista, simply becanse they call for the redress of those greivances. Now, we don't know what these things mean, as applied to the workingmen, but suppose that they must mean something terrible. Let us not overlook the terrible fact despite of their accnsation«—let us remember that there are thou- sands of working men and women tively suffer- ing from want. In view of these facts we should determine to vote for and elect the man who has op- posed these swindling ators, and wo has always been the friend and advocate of the work- ingman.

There were a few things necessary to remind them of, in order to stimulate them to vote rightly at this election. He remembered ‘04, when Rufus King, the father of the King we had now over us, was Minister to England, and he was proud to say that some of his ancestors bad fought in that struggle. When the exiled patriots of that time asked permission to come to thix country, Rufus King refused it. The Britieh Minister said to M King, when be refused to let Addis Emmet come to America, “Why, you don’t seem to want any repay licans in your country.” In conseqaence of this re- fusal, Tt Emmet was condemned to suffer death: The descendant of this Rufus King is the man wi is at the head of affairs at Albany, from whence infamous legislation which now oppresses the city sprung; and be warned them that as long a» a mem ber of the Rofos King family had any influence. either as Governor or anything else, they would be oppressed. Mr. Hennessy vehemently urged hiv hearers to supy Mr. Wood, and oppose the black republicans with all their strength, and concluded by an eloquent appeal in bebalf of the Mayor, a» the consistent friend of the workingmen and regular nominee of the great democratic party.
