Elections for members of the House of Repre entatives in the next Congress, and also for State- fficers, were held yesterday in Pennsylvania, Ohio, tdiana and Towa. The returns so far as received by telegraph are given elsewhere, and seem to in- dicate the success of the opposition. The various Democratic Congressional District Conventions assembled last evening for the purpose of nominating candidates for the approaching ¢ tion. There was a contest in the Third district be- tween the friends of Geavral Walbridge and Dante! F. Sickles, both of whom were nominate The friends of the former mustered in great force, and tendered him their unanimous nomination and sup- port, while those of the latter w in a very small minority. A report of General Walbridge’s speech will be found in another column. Hon. John Co- chrane made a speech in the Sixth district, where he was nominated. The following are the names of the candidates who are now before the people on the democratic t Third district. ++ Hiram Waibridge. Daniel E. Sickle Enjah F. Pore, ane Fourth district Fitth district .. Sixth diswrret Seventh distric Hijab Ward In the Eighth district there was no nomination made. The Convention adjourned till Thursday evening. We have later news from Mexico, brought by the Solent at Havana. The Solent left Vera Cruz at noon of the Sd inst. On the morning of that day two couriers reached that city. One stated that General Vidaurri had been defeated by Miramon near San Luis; the other that Miramon had been routed by Vidaurri,and blown out his brains in despair. Governor Garza had levied a contribution on all foreigners at Tampico to the amount of $100,000. On failing to pay,a number of Spaniards and Americans were imprisoned. The Spanish Consul had taken refuge on board of a man-of-war. Important despatches from the Spanish Consul aad the American Minister were on their way to Wash- ington. The *teamship City of Baltimore arrived at this port yesterday evening from Liverpool, bringing our European files, dated on the 29th ultimo. She passed Cape Race last Friday morning, when Capt Leitch delivered a summary of the news to the agent of the New York Associated Press, which was telegraphed from St. Johns, N. F., and pub- lished in the Hrranp yesterday morning. A copy of the British treaty with China, as given in the London Gazette, appears in our columns to- day. The outline of the paper already published is fully substantiated—namely, the appointment of diplomatic agents at Pekin and London, the revision of the Chinese tariff, the opening of new ports for trade with Europe, the toleration of the Christian religion, the payment of indemnity for losses sustained at Canton, and the abrogation of the Chinese mark for “barbarian” in flicial documents. With respect to the regula tions for conducting trade between England and China, the synopsis which we publish contains im- portant points hitherto unknown. The treaty has such a commercial aspect that the most of its ar- ticles have reference in some way to trading trans actions, and the advantages to Le gained are almost alion the side of England. At the end of ten years each contracting party may demand a further revision of the tariff and of the commercial articles of the treaty. Great hopes were entertained of the ultimate success of the Atlantic cable, in consequence of an interesting report from Valentia, which we give to- day. The opinion that the principal fault in the cable is near the shore daily gained ground. Mr. Henley « immense magneto-electric machine had arrived at Valentia and been put in operation, and with the nid of this instrament Mr. Henley hoped to beable to work through the cable. The shares had advanced in price The Liverpool papers state that the Galway steamship Indian Empire took ont four handred and six passengers: not two hundred and fifty, as telegraphed from Halifax. We hove files from the Bahamas dated at Nasaan, N. P., on the 29th of September. There was little news to report. A contract had been made with the British government to ply steamer between New York and this port monthly, or bi-monthly, which will have excellent accommodations fur pas | sengers and carry the mails to and from England via New York. The General Assembly had been | further prorogned to the 234 of November. The | Nassau Herald of the latest date says:—It will be Observed that the decree of Judge Lees in the case of the American ship Inca has been reversed by the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. This i the first case which has been brought before thei lordships on appeal from this Colony. The Coroner's inquest in the Stephens case was resumed yesterday morning at Bellevne hospita No witnesses were examined, but a partial report was made by Drs. Doremus and Wood apon the chemical analysis now being conducted under their supervision. The report, although not pointed in its character, would leave the public to infer that ome important discovery had been made. -At the urgent request of the chemists the inquest was ad Journed for two weeks, wh thorough analysis of the entire body will have been completed An enthosiastic meeting was held last night in tie Cooper Institate, by tne exhibitors at the late foir of the American Institute in the Crystal Palace. ‘The course of the managers of the American In + titate was severely censured. The formation of an American Union for the encouragement of the frta, science and inventions, was strongly recom mended. Speeches were made by Peter Cooper Ir. Chapin, and others report in another column A commrnication was seut from his Honor the NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1858, | Mayor to the Board of Councilmen, suggesting 4 | meeting of both branches of the Common Council to receive the Commissioners of the Veneauelan Convention, who have notified their intention of presenting the thanks of the Convention to the ma- nicipal author ties for their kindness to Gen. Paez, who has recently been recalled to Venezuela, Messrs Van Tine, Cornell and Webb were appoint ed a comm ttee to confer with the Aldermen. The Board of Supervisors met last evening. The message of the Mayor, nominating Andrew H. Mickle, Wm. D. Murphy and Philip W. Engs com- miss'oners for building the new City Hall, was called up by Supervisor Tweed, and after some de- bate was non-confirmed, A motion to reconsider was lost. The report in favor of building a new county jail was adopted. Jn the Court of Common Pleas, yesterday, an action by James Saxton against John Saxton (bro- thers), for slander, was heard. The defendant actused the plaintiff of having forged his name. Justification was pleaded, but not made out, and the jury gave the complaining brother $200 da- mages. A suit was also brought at the instance of J.C. Lawrence against the Mayor, &e., to recover $2,000 damages for injuries alleged to have been sustained to his business in consequence of the improvement known as the Bowery extension. It appeared, however, that the plaintiff himself had signed the petition asking for the improvement, and on motion of Corporation Counsel the Judge dismissed the complaint. Inthe Supreme Court yesterday Judge Suther land delivered an elaborate opinion on the Phelps will case, an abstract of which is given elsewhere. The validity of the will is affirmed, with the excep- tion of that portion of it granting means to found a college in Liberia, which the Judge considered too indefinite to be enforced. As regards the promis- sory notes given to his children, they were declared to he of no legal value. The case of William Mulligan, charged with as- sault and battery on Mr. Warner, which was to have been tried in the Court of Sessions yesterday, was removed to the OQyer and Terminer, an application having been made to Judge Sutherland for that purpose, The defendant «leges that he could not have an impartial trial before Recorder Barnard. The Recorder stated that so far as he was con. cerned there was not a particle of truth in the afi- davit of the defefdant upon which the application was granted. It was announced in the papers yesterday, as it been many times before, that the furnitare in e City Hall would be sold at anction atten o'clock A.M., to satisfy Mr. Lowber's judgment against the city. The sale, however, was postponed till ten o'clock this morning. Mr. Lowber says he has instructed the Sheriff to be as lenient as possible, in the hope that the Corporation will settle. The Rev. T. J. Bowen delivered his second lec- ture on “Travels in Central Africa,” at Clinton Hall last evening. The Atlantic Telegraph Company have sold their lead mines in Newfoundland to parties for $200,000. Several cargoes of the metal have arrived and are on their way to this port. It averages eighty per cent, and is frequently cut out in pure lumps, being esteemed equal in richness to any in the world. Madamoiselle Piccolomini, and the Italian opera troupe accompanying her, were to sail for this port onthe 29th ult., inthe North Star, and may be daily expected. ‘The sales of cotton yesterday were confined to about 500 bales, without quotable change in prices. The market closed without animation. The recaipts at the ports have reached about 229,478 bales, against 102,452 for the same time in 1857, The exports to Great Britain are 37,874, Against 26,201 last year, and to France the exports are 19,713 against 4,167 last year. The total increase in re. ceipts amounts to 127,000, and the total increaso in foreign exports ainounts to 28,744 bales; the total increase in the stock in American ports amounts to about 112,931 bales. Flour was heavy, and lower for the common grailes, while extra brands were sustained, and in some eases somewhat firmer, and the sales were rather larger. Whea was dull and lower—for sales and prices of which we re fer to another column. Corn was in rather better demani!, while prices exhibited no change of moment. Pork was heavy, with sales of old mess at $16 40. $16 50, and of Dew at $16 62's; of old prime, at $14 a $14 25, and new at $1475. Sugars were steady, with sales of about 450 hhds. at rates given in another place. Coffee was stealy while sales were limited, owing toa public sale to come offon the 16th inst. The stock embraces about 8,922 bags of Kio and 27,144 bags of all kinds. The tea sale yester- day went off with spirit. The catalogue comprised lots of desirable qualities, including finer grades of young hyson and imperials, which brought better prices, while all descriptions were sustained at satisfactory prices. The Want of a Battonal Issue Before the Peo ple—How to Win in 1860. The condition of political parties throughout the country exhibits a disintegration everywhere that puzzles the politicians and nonpluses the partisan leaders of every stripe. All théold is- sues that have served as party slogans to rally hosts of voters, now pall upon the public ear. The currents of popular opinion are at siackwa- ter point, and everybody is watching to see in which direction the tide will set for the flood of 1860. Every pigmy politician thinks he can give voice toa cry that will stir the national heart; and so fire-eaters and Union-savers, pro- slavery advocates and abolitionists, one idea men and political gamblers, and speculators on every idea, has each a hobby which he believes every- body will get on and ride with him, if the press or the party will only take it up and bring it be- fore the people. Put these short-sighted and sel- fish partizans have all some purpose of their own to serve, and they make the absurd mistake of supposing that the great mass of the people are as short-sighted and selfieh as themselves. They forget—or, rather, they cannot conceive—what is the life and soul of a truly national issue before the country. A national issue is the impulse of a truly na- tional heart for the good of the whole country. When a man known to, and possessing the confi- dence of the people, announces his earnest opinions in favor of or against any proposed measure, he does it from an honest conviction of the good or evil effect it will produce upon the interests of the whole country. Such a man thrills the national heart, and he makes a na- tional issue. In thie way Jackson and Clay were enabled to divide every section of the coun- try upon their own personal opinions and theo- ries, and to range immense political par ies, like sertied hosts, against each other. For the same reason Seward, Douglas, Banke, Jeff Davis, and all the other great and little sectional politicians, have never been able to get up anything like an issue before the whole country. Their views and aims were all local, sectional and selfish. They look to their own preferment by getting up petty excitement, each in his own State or region, against some other State or re- gion, in which the great mass of the people never eympathize. For them, anything is “a good enough Morgan till after the election,” when they trust to luck to get up some new scheme to humbug the honest voters. In these truths we may find the true explana- tion of the apparent waywardness of the people, the sudden rise and fall of great parties, and the momentary popularity of some particular man. Selfiehness in a popular leader is easily seen through and quickly rejected. In this way the old whig party was killed after the death of Clay; the American or Know Nothing organization sprung up, and as suddenly vanished; the repub- lican hosts have melted away, and the democra- tic organization has become a mass of quarreling partieans, whose only chance for power lies in the numerous divisions of the great majority op- | posed to them, and the lukewarmness of the people towards all. Thus, ever'y effort to get up | & national issue will fail, unless it receives the backbone of some great name, in whose antece- dents the people can find a reason for their faith, and upon whose unselfishness they can implicitly rely. Such a name is now demanded by the country, which is alike tired of niggers and abolitionists, of Kansas and squatter sovereignty, and of sec- tional men and sectional views, Nowhere can a better name be found than that “of Gen. Scott. His history is entwined in the history of the country for the last forty years. Whenever sectionalism has raised its head, as in South Carolina; or invasion has been threatened, as at Aroostook; or international exetement has foreboded a collision, as on the Canada frontier; or the national honor demand- cd the sending of our armies abroad, he has heen entrusted with command; and in every instance his wisdom, prudence, energy and skill have redounded to the national honor and drawn more tightly the bonds of our Union. He has proved himself to be the man for every emer- geney; and now, when sectional leaders are everywhere rampant, when men look with doubt upon our perpetuity as a nation, because there is no great issue to stir the hearts of the people, he is the very man to bring out and to reawaken the national enthusiasm. He is in every sense of the word a national ‘man and an American. As such he should be brought before the people. Now that the Ame- rican party has learned wisdom and thrown away its dark interns and its proscription, its best course will be to take the field at an early day with the name of Gene- ral Scott upon its banners. There is much in its principles that commends itself to the Ame- rican people, as was shown by the sudden growth of the party a few years since; and had not the dark lantern lodges afforded so great opportuni- ties to political tricksters, and the selfish leaders stimulated a spirit of proscription which is fo- reign to the American heart, it might have be- come a permanent party organization. The people everywhere are tired of the old parties, and wish to get rid of them. If no new and vigo- rous opponent rises up against them they will continue to divide and subdivide on their petty looal iesues until the Dest interests of the country are brought into jeopardy. The name of General Scott will create such an opponent, and give the death blow to sectionalism everywhere. The is- sue then will be, nationalism against sectionalism, and no man in his senses can doubt the result of such a contest. Exnavstep To THE Drees.—The controversy in Ilinois between Douglas and Lincoln, on Kansas, the Kansas-Nebraska bill, Lecompton, popular sovereignty, Dred Scott, the Declaration of Independence, State rights and niggers ia every style, in all its variations, has been drawn off by these two tremendous spouters to the very dregs. From Lincoln to Douglas, and from Douglas to Lincoln, their discussions have de- generated into the merest twaddle upon quib- Dies, “forgeries,” falsehoods, and mutual re- criminations of the most vulgar sort. Re- duced to such extremities for their speeches, and considering that the Illinois election does not come off till November, the best thing that Douglas and Lincoln can do, is to close up their debates sine die, go home, and keep quiet till after election. Having exhausted the field of legitimate debate, and having descended into the dirty arena of personalities, they may possibly come to “the noble art of self-defence,” unless their friends take them away. Let them be drawn off before they try the logic.of Morrissey and the Benicia Boy, or who shall answer for the nose of “Old Abe,” or the “knob” of the “Little Giant.” Tur Attantic Cante.—The despatch which we published yesterday from Newfoundland, an- nounced the arrival at St. Johns, of Mr. Lundy, an English electrician, who had been sent over by the Board of Directors of the Atlantic Tele- graph Company, for the purpose of testing the cable with improved batteries and new instru- ments. A specified time had been agreed upon before his departure from England, between him- self and the electricians at Valentia Bay, at which it was intended to make the experi- ments; and in his despatch to Mr. Field, from Tlalifax, he speaks hopefully of the pros- pects of success, He says: “The conductor is not broken,” and that “it is possible by sending a certain kind of electricity to improve the insula- tion, and thus the difficulties may be overcome for a time.” We shall await the result of bis operations with much interest, but even should he fail we will not despair so long as a current can be received at either terminus. Tux Westcurster Conoresstoxat, Distarcr— Axoruer Droapstpe FROM THe CHEVALIER Wene.—No sooner does the Hon. Massa Greeley console himself with the idea that Mr. Haskin is the opporition joint stock candidate for Congress for the Westchester district, and no mistake, than the redoubtable Chevalier Webb reopens his batteries and knocks down the whole ar- rangement. This time the Chevalier isin dowa- right earnest, and gives Masea Greeley to under- stand that Haskin will never do—that he can't be elected, but will be defeated, and will inflict a loss to Morgan of four thousand votes in the dis trict. Very well. If Massa Greeley will not lis- ten to reason, but will insist upon making Has- kin the republican nominee for Congress upon the Cincinnati platform, he knows what to ex- peet. The Chevalier Webb bas given bis warn- ing, and let those who will not heed it suffer the consequences. We had supposed that Haskin could be persuaded to withdraw in favor of Webb, but we presume that the anti-Lecompton democrat cannot trust the Chevalier on the mat- ter of the Cincinnati platform. Very well. We thall soon see how Greeley will carry it out with both Haskin and Morgan on his back, A Great wre ror tHe DeMocracte-The first of the series of nominating Conventions met last night. The primary elections took place on the previous evening, and of course went off eceording to the usual cut and dried arrange- mente, In spite of this preconcerted harmony, there will undoubtedly be a hitch in the nomi- nating Conventions on the County and Congres sional tickets, Some of the nominations will be opposed and others substituted for them, which will necessitate adjournments with a view to ac- commodate matters, The Regulars and Peoples’ Committee are, it appears, determined not to support any candidates who are tainted with Douglas affinities. All this will lead to a good deal of diffenlty and trouble, so that the week promises to be a busy and eventful one with Tammany politicians generally. Tux Lecrurk Skasox.—The usual programme of lecturers for the winter season bas made its appearance in the journals specially devoted to the encouragement of a bastard literature. The list contains the names of a number of ex-cler- gymen, lawyers, physicians and jourualists, who, unsuccessful in their respective voeatioas, have taken to this wandering career fora living. The fact, of course, does not speak very highly for the character of the instruction imparted by these ambulatory philosophers. It is a bad re- commendation for a publi instructor that he has been unable to sustain himself in the pro- fession to which he has devoted himself. Had he acquired the knowledge necessary to do this, he might become qualified as a lecturer, but failing in that respect, weure entitled to doubt his capa- city as an expounder of the information whieh has profited him so little, But it is not on presumptive evidence like this that we question the benefit of the lectures delivered by this class of persons. We take the general staple of their discourses, and we can tru- ly say that we have never yet heard an original theory or anew idea of any sort propounded in them. They are, generally speaking, compositions on which little trouble has been bestowed, not un- frequently compilations, got up to order for a lecturer incapable of so humble a literary effort, and in but too many instances they are founded upon the impudent assumption that the intellec- tual standard of public audiences is so low that any sort of trash will do for them. For such ef- forts these lecturers are paid at the rate of from ten to two hundred dollars a night, according to their professional status, for in this, as in every other career in which quackery constitutes: the main element, a name made by long possession of the rostrum and systematic puffing, secures a corresponding money consideration. It is humiliating to reflect with what readiness the audiences of our country towns and villages suffer themselves to be imposed upon by these peripatetic humbugs. There are minds intelli- gent enough in most of these places to detect the flimsy trickery with which it is sought to dupe them; and there are also in each locality men competent to play the part of public instructors without lowering that honorable vocation by their ignorance and pretensiousness. But as no man is a prophet in his own neighborhood, it is to he feared that rural audiences will continue to give the preference to imported charlatanism, to the neglect of the talont and Intelligence which are so frequently to be found latent in their own spheres. Siwertan Journanism.—That remarkably old fossil in the newspaper world, the National Intel- ligencer, has discovered that General Cass has written a great letter on our Central American relations. It gravely informs us that it had ob- served several days ago, in certain of the New York journals, a series of garbled extracts from what purports to be a despatch addressed by our present worthy and able Secretary of State to General Lamar, but from reasons peculiarly its own, it “preferred to await the reception of the document in its authentic form.” This it finds in the Richmond Enquirer of the 6th inst., to which it credits the extracts from Gen. Cass’ despatch, which it weaves into an editorial article on the 11th, gravely adding that that journal “speaks with the more intelligence and force from having read ‘the masterly letter’ on which it comments.”” Now, the best of this piece of stupidity is the fact that the Jnielligencer never read this “master- ly letter” in any other New York paper than the Henatp, from which the Enquirer copied it, and in stealing the matter at second hand, it even goes 80 far as to follow our own italics, It is true that the editor of the Emguirer read it, and therefore speaks by the book; but he never read it anywhere else than in the columns of the New York Henary. Perex Cacorr ty Trovsie.—The great Peter Cagger, of Albany, the man who carried “the slate” at the Syracuse Democratic Convention, and who regulated the proceedings of the Con- vention according to the writings on “the slate,” is said to be in trouble among the intractable Albany democracy. But what can be done for him? Doubtless, under ordinary contingencies, some of the Tammany sachems would at once post off to his relief; but the Tammany sachems have troubles enough of their own, and so Peter must even take care of himself. We live in revo- lutionary times, and party caucuses and cliques, and the men who carry “the slate,” are getting knocked off the bridge in every direction. Bai ror Tue Democracy.—We publish this morning a list of contirmations of appointments recently made in the Custom House. It will act as a sort of balm to some of our local politicians, One thing it proves conclusively, and that is that the most perfect accord reigns between the Col- lector, the Secretary of the Treasury and the President on the subject of the new appointments. Rroapwav Treatae.—Mr. Rddy, a capable manager and an excellent actor, announces that he will shortly open this house for the regular seavon. The properties and scenery were fold on Saturday lost under a chattel mort- qage at a great sacrifice. The whole materiel of the thea tre brought less than $1,000. It ix understood that Mr. Fudy inteuds to refit and refurnish the house throughout. Political Intelligence. Trax Sexator.—The Nashville Banner, Oct. 1, cays: — A letter war received by a gentioman of this city, yester day, from Governor Reynolds, of Texas, stating that he had appointed Colone!
