The steamship St. Louis arrived at this port yes- erday from Aspinwall, with the semi-monthly Pa- fe mails, containing news from California, Oregon nd Washington Territories, Fraser river, the Sand- wich Islands, Japan, Central America, and the South Pacific republics. Copious details are given in this morning's HERALD. The news from California is unimportant. The intelligence of the successful laying of the Atlantic cable oceasioned great rejoicing throughout the State. The Humboldt telegraph had been com- pleted from Placerville to the first summit of the Sierra Nevada. Senator Broderick left on the 4th inst. for Washington, by the overland mai route. ‘The official vote of the State shows a democratic majority of 8400. Trade was considered good at San Prancisco, and business transactions were un- active. The St. Louis brought nearly a mil- lion and a half in specie on freight. The intelligence from Oregon embraces the de- tails of the battle between the troops under Col. Wright and the Indians, brief account of which, received by the overland mail, has heretofore been published. The yunts from Fraser river, as regards mining operations, are very conflicting. It is certain, how- ever, that large numbers of miners and others who had emigrated to the new gold fields were return- ing to San Francisco. Our advices from Central America are interest ing. The news is dated at Guatemala on the 24th apd San Salvador on the 27th of September. The government of Nicaragua was still engaged in the preparation of the proj of a federal union of the different States. In Costa Rica the President had approved the contract with the Measrs. Cauty for the steam navigation of the rivers Sarapiqui and San Carlos, adding an article conced- ing a monthly subsidy of one hundred and tifty flollars for carrying the mails to and from San Jnan fel Norte. Cholera was rife in Guatemala, Hon. B D. Clarke, States Minister, had returned from Honduras to Guatemala. He was most favorably received in the former St ‘Trade was, generally speaking, dull in the republics, but the people we quiet. The American Atlantic and Ship Canal Company have received letters from their agent, Col. 0. W.

From the South Pacific our at Valparaiso on the 16th and ¢ of September. A revolutionary effort in Bolivia, made in favor of Geveral Belza, was attended with fatal consequences, and bad nearly resulted in the death of President Linares. During an alarm par- powely given by the revolationists, President Linares presented himecit to the disturbed populace, when the traitors against the recoguized goverament fired at him, killing general officer, with a c om friend who stood by lis side. The leaders of the insurrection were arrested, tried, found guilty and afterwards shot, so that tranquillity was restored. In Pern the people feared the consequences of « war with Ecuador, which was likely to take place, and dreaded at the same time 4 revolution in favor of jeneral Echenique, who, at the we of the last report, was said to be in Bolivia or Chile. The Chilean Congress had been prorogued, after approv ing laws relative to the government patronage of the Vaiparsiso and Santiago Roitroad and the mint alloy of Chilean Hon. Philo White had retired from the position of United States Minister to Eouador. The republic of Keustor was prepar ing for war with Pern The news from the Sandwich Islands is dated at Honoluln on the 16th of September. The treaty between the Hawaiian government aud France, that bas so long been under discussion, had been approved and ratified by the former. The Com mercial Advertiser, the American organ at Hono Jolu, says the treaty is universally condemned by the people, who consider it as unjust to the weaker nation. The revenue of the King would be reduced about $10,000 per annum by the measure. Eighteen whaling ships had arrived at the diferent ports of the islands since the 27th of July, bringing an ayeregate of 11.905 barrels of ofl. The intelligence dition, per inst. vin. from the whaling fleet in the Arctic Ocean ie rather discournging. The British Consul Genera hed left Honolulu for Valparaiso to recrait his health. The American whaler Ameriea, Capt. Bry- ant, reported being boarded by an officer from a Rowian steamer in Bhering'+ Strait. close in with the land. The Russians professed merely to be desirous of knowing the name of the wholer and the amount of oi! on board. Another ship is reported to have been similarly visited. Capt. Knowles, lately in command of the Ameri can ship Wild Wave, who arrived here yesterday in the St. Louis, furnishes a moat interesting aceount of the loss of his veasel on the island of Oneo, which fe situate to the northwest of Pitcairn’s Island when ons voyage from San Francisco to Valpa raiso. On reaching Pitoairn’s Island from Oneo, Captain Knowles found it oninhabited, as the peo- ple of the colony had left for Norfolk island.

A p lege o roughfares of the cit; ferred to the Comittee on Arts aud Sciences, NEW YORK BXRALD, FRIDAY, GOTOBER 29, 1858. writing on the 10th inst., saya:—The House of As- sembly is to meet on he 18th, and a stormy seesion are utterly at variance with each other, A large party of emigrants has left this place for St. Vincent, and another party has gone to Monsterrat with the dowign of cultivating the sweet potato there. ‘This island is healthy, Rain has commenced falling copiously, but too late to renovate the crops. Eight cargoes of salt fish have arrived within the last six days, containing 12,751 quintals, one-half of which was shipped to the surrounding islands, We have dates from Vera Cruz to the 22d instant. The sloop-of-war Plymouth was in port waiting the arrival of Minister Forsyth, who was daily expected. A Senor D. Faustino Snarez had been arrested on his arrival in the steamer Mexico from Havana, with a number of letters on his person addressed to the Zuloaguista General Cobas, and to a number of priests, &c., recommending him as an adventurous Spanish soldier, worthy of their patronage in the struggle against the constitutionalists. A Senor Ramon Pellon, of Vera Craz, to whom some of the etters were addressed, was discovered by them to be of the wrong stripe, and is held up by the Progreso nno flattering light. A decree of the constitutional government, proroguing to the end of the year the permission to introduce foreign soap, rice, lard and corn, under the decree of the 5th of April last, had been published. We have received a copy of a long letter from President Benson, of Liberia, to the Secretary of he New York State Colonization Society, in re- gard to the charges made by t. Simon, of the French bark Regina Celi, of connivance on the part of the Liberian government in the new French slave trade. We are compelled to omit the letter to-day because of the great press of news upon our columns. President Benson pronounces as false the assertions that cither he or the govern- ment of Liberia had any complicity with, or con- sented to, the illegal operations of Capt. Simon, that the government received $1,564 as passport money, and that some of the emigrants were Americo-Liberians. He states that Capt. Simon paid only the usual tonnage duty on his vessel and import duties on the goods to be landed, amount- ing in all to $369; that no passport money was re- ceived, and that Capt. Simon was allowed to go to the coast to seek emigrants only on the explicit understanding that he would return to Monrovia to have them examined and to clear. President Ben- son's letter is very clear and direct in its state- ments, and he promises to publish, at an early day, the full documentary evidence, whieh will com- pletely excuipate the Liberian authorities from the charges of Capt. Simon. The largest public mecting that has marked the history of the present pelitical campaign was that which was held last evening in the hall of the Cooper Institute, for the purpose of responding to the renomination of Horace F. Clark as repre- sentative to Congress from the Eighth Con- gressions| district. The hall was crowded to its utmost capacity. The meeting was presided over by Mr. Daniel Lord. Speeches were made by him, by David D. Field, Richard Busteed, Wm. M. Evarts, John W. Forney, James Brooks and John McKeon. A proces was afterwards formed and marched to the Everett House, where Mr. Clark was sere naded. Te made aspeech in acknowledgment of the compliment. See our report.

A nomber of officers and their ladies ac- companied the Captain, who entertained them with a bountifal collation. The experiment gave the of- ficers and crew perfect confidence in the ability of the Westernport to bear the shock of her ten inch runs, and when a few alterations shall be made in of her journals and the line of her shaft, she will be ready for any service the government may require. ‘The receipts of beef cattle at the varions yards doring the past week reached 5,096, a decrease of 757 head as compared with the week previons, ‘The offerings were generally of good quality, and prices advanced about Je. per pound, the range be- ing 6¢. a Ye., while very extra brought 10e. There no change of importance in cows and calves or veal calves. With decreased receipts and an ac- tive demand, sheep and lambs advanced 25c. a I7}c. per head. The quotations range from #2 to $5 50, according to quality. Swixe were in large supply, and the market was correspondingly depressed, without, however, any change in prices. The Tammany General Committee met last night, and made their final arrangements for the election. A committee was appointed to remonstrate with the Police Commissioners on their recent ap- pointment of Police Clerk. It seems that but thirty of the two hundred and fifty Polioe Clerks are de- mocrats, and the General Committee very properly think this is not a fair apportionment. Mayor Tie- mann is to be appealed to, to see if justice cannot he done. The sales of cotton yesterday embraced about 3,500 bales, inoluding 2,500 in transitu. The market was leas buoyant, and closed rather heavy at about 12c. a 12\c. for middling uplands. Common grades of flour were heavy and duil, while the medium and higher brands were firm and quite active, with a better demand from the home trade.

Corn was firm and in fair demand, with sales of Western mixed at 66c. a 69. Pork was irregular, but active, with sales of mess at $17, and of prime, a part check on the day, at $13 50a $14. Sugars were quite steady, with sales of about 1,000 hhds. at rates given in another piace. Coffee was irm and quiet. Freights were firm, while engagements were Minited. > The Revolutionary Abolition Doctrines of Seward—Necessity of Immediate Public Ac- tion. The atrocious abolition sentiments and doc- trines uttered by W. TH. Seward in his late cool and deliberate speech at Rochester, are so dan- gerous in their purposes and their tendencies to the peace of the Union, the supremacy of law, and the safety of society, that not a moment thould be lost by the conservative people of this great State in the duty of silencing this reckless incendiary. The main point of the revolutionary speech in question is as follows. Speaking of the collision between the free labor system of the North and the slave labor system of the South, Mr. Seward says:— Shall Itell you what this collision means? They who think that it is acewlental, unecessary, the work of it terested or fanatical agitators, and therefore epheme mistake the ease altogether. It isan trrepressible conflict Letween opposing and enduring forces, and it means that the United States must and will, sooner or later, become either entirely a slareholding nation, or entirely a free-labor na tion. “hither the cotton and rice fields of South Carolina ond the sugar plantations of Louisiana will ultimately be tilled by free labor, and Charleston and New Orleans be- come marts for legiiimate merchandise alone, or else the rye fields and wheat fields of Massachusetts and New York must again be surrendered ou their farmers to slave culture and to the production of slaves, and Boston and New York become once more markets for trate tn the bodies and souls of men. Itis the failure to appre- hend this great truth that induces so maip unsuccessiul aitempis at final compromise between the slave and frec States, and it is the existence of this great fact that ren- ders ali such pretended compromises, when made, vain and ephemeral. The sppeinted office, then, of the republican party, according to this pronuncicmiento of its great orecle, is the extinguishment of slavery in the Southern States; and there is to be no abate- ment of this war against slavery, no compro- mises, no concessious for the sake of peace, so long as there shall remain a single slavecholding State in the Union. Now, we hold that no intelligent man conver- sant with the dangers, fears and tem cr of the South, will undertake to deny that should Seward, or any other Northern eandidate oecupying his platform, be elected to the Presidency in 1860, his success upon the programme here laid down will be the signal for the immediate secession of the Southern States from the Union. They will not remain a yar under a government the whole power of which is to be devoted to the cause of abolitionism in the South, and the repe- tition, from Virginia to Texas, of the bloody and horrible scenes, of the servile revolt of St. Domingo. With one month to work upon, this incendiary manifesto of Seward could be made the instru- ment of bis political death, in the defeat of our republican State ticket. As it is, our conserva- tive agricultural, commercial, financial and manufacturing classes, of all parties, who be- lieve that our present federal Union is indispen- sable to their peace, prosperity and safety, should proceed at once to rebuke this insolent and reckless traitor, in public mectings, here and everywhere throughout the State, and ia behalf of the Parker State ticket. When the suceess of Seward and his treasonable and bloody doctrines is involved in the success of Morgan, no party lines or affini- ties #hould deter our patriotic and Union loving people from their duty of defeating the ma: Morgan, in order to prostrate and cast on traitorous and dangerous master. Tie Taxrayers axp tik Lecisiarenn.-As the day of election draws near, the attention of the people of this city wems to be directed more especially to the contest in Congressional die- tricts than to matters in which we all have a nearer interest. We refer particularly to the choice of the city members of the next Assembly. They are directly identified with our local afluirs, and have a voice in the arrangement of the tax levy-—a matter of eight or ten millions of dollars, which comes out of the pockets of the taxpayers of the metropolis. As the country members know but little of city affwirs, and de- pend for information of them chicfly upon the city delegation, the latter have, or would if the delegation was good enough to inspire conte dence, the whole matter of city tavation in their own handa. <As a general rule, through tho negligence of the respectable part of the commu- nity and the exertions of political bullies, the city delegation at Albany has beon of the poorest stuff that can be imagined. We have sent men who had nothing at stake in (he city— people with- out means or character, whos only idea in going to Albany bas been to make as much money as possible for themselves, and pile up the taxes upon their constituents. This must be reformed altogether, and we call upon the taxpayers of each Aseembly district to scrutinize carefully the names presented as candidates for the Lemisla- ture. It is not a party question, but one of lo cal and financial interest. It is in the power of the Legislature to arrest the flood of city expen- diture by refusing to sanction extravagant items in the tax list, and we must haye men at Albany who are directly interested in the work of ve- trenchment. Probably many of the Assembly candidates are not taxpayers. All such shonld be allowed to attend to their affairs at home, and solid men who do pay taxes sent to Albany. It is an easy matter for every voter to find out for whom he is voting, and we repeat our call upon the taxpayers to select their Assemblymen from their own ranks. Caxpipates vor Concress,Several of the papers of the day have announced that Mr. James Gordon Bennett was a candidate for Congress in the Kighth district. There is evidently a mis- take in this. We can’t be a candidate. We pay our debte; we were never indicted as an Alder- man for taking one hondred dollar bribes; we don't visit low grog shops, nor chew tobacco, nor drink bad whiekey, nor carry lobby fees of $1,000 in our breeches pocket, ae Greeley did for Matte- con. Weare, ina word, not qualified for a seat in Congress. Intercourse with Cura any Jaran.—Anong the intelligence brought by the overland mal route from San Francisco, and telegrapy ed to the Associated Press Srom St. Louis some day since, was notice of a new treaty having been made with Japan by our Consul tire, according to the terms of which a part of en ry has been de- clared open to our commerce in the Bay of Jeddo, and permission has been accorded to American travellers to visit all the ports of the empire. We have now the fuller details of this news, ex- iracted from one of the San Franciseo papers, by which we are also informed that the treaty is on its way to Washington, and that a Japanese Prince and fourteen attendants are about making a tour to this country and visiting our seat of government. Our impression is that the treaty news is ac- tually no news at all. We published in the Hx- Rap of the 17th of July last the text ofa conven- tion between the United States and the em- pire of Japan, for the purpose of further regu- lating the intercourse of American citizens with- in that empire, which convention was conchided and signed at Simoda on the 17th of June, 1857. We rather think that this is the identical treaty alluded to in the news from California, notwith- standing the fact that the journalists of San Fran- cisco assume to be well posted upon Japanese and Chinese affairs, By the terms of this con- vention the port of Nangasaki was opened to American vessels, where they might repair dam- ages, procure water, fuel, provisions and other necessary articles, even coals; and it was also agreed that American citizens might reside per- manently at Simoda and Hakodade, and that our government might appoint a Vice Consul to reside at the latter port. This is doubtless the identical treaty of which we ure now informed by telegraph, although it was officially prockimed by the President, at Washington, on the 30th of June, 1858. So much for the accuracy of the San Francisco journals in regard to Japanese news. This convention is, nevertheless, entitled to consideration in connection with the late treaties with China, Both combined are evidence of the great progress lately made in the work of break- ing down the wall of Eastern exelusiveness, and opening up the populous and wealthy empires of China and Japan to the trade of the civilized world. With diplomatic and consular represen- tatives from Europe and America in Pekin and Simoda, the barriers that still exist against the encroachments of “the outside barbarians’ will gradually but surely crumble away; and not many years henee the cities of China aud Japan and of the United States will be linked together in the bonds of a mutually advantageous com- merce. Morr Inpreruents Requingn.— Hf we are not mistaken the question of includiug some mem- bers of the Common Council in the batch of in- dictments recently found against certain officials of the Corporation was discussed in the Grand Jury room the other day. By al? means let us have a few of the city fathers before the Court of Sessions. There are, no doubt fiels enongh to be had to base indictmen' upon, and it would be a wholesome lesson to our municipal legisla- tors in future if a few of the present boards were made to pay the penalty of their misdeeds. The Grand Jury are still in session: let them finish the good work before they separate.

Horace F.

Every seat and standing spot of the immense hall was oc- cupied by # most intelligent aud respectable audience; fnd the vlaiform was ovcupied by a crowd of politica and public aren distinguished in existimg and past parties: AVERCH OF MR, DATUM rORD. The meeting was called to order by Mr. John T, Hoff man, who nominated as chairman Mr. jel Lord. ‘The Cuarmman returned his acknowledgments for the: houorable porition to which he was: called, and spoke of the obligation resting on all good eitizens to take part im the polities of the country. Neutrality and inactivity, he said, were treason against popular government. He asked, too, would a conviet for brivery, or one who should have been. or might have been convicted, be a a representative in Congress ef any respectable constitu- ency’ The eleciton would have to decide that question. He’ eulogized the public and private charactor of Mr. Clark, and his remarks oa that head were loudly applauded, APERCH. OF MR. DAVID D. FIRED: Mr. Davin Dupiey Fieto was then introduced to the meeting. He said they were met to-night, net as party men, to promotg party measures, but as citizens, to defend the legisiative department of the government of the coum- try from executive interference. The government had arrived at that stage 80 long dreaded, when the indepen- deave of Congress Was menaced by the President. ‘To that menace every principle of patriotism prompted them te throw back a resolute deflance. (Applause.) Mr. Clark had preferred bis own convictions to the President's will and had performed his duty to the best of bis abilities, and he was, thereture, the subject of perseoution by she Exec- utive. ‘It became the people to defend themselyos and those whom they elected from the attacks of the Execa- tive, regardless of the question on which they differed. But Mr. Clark's course on the question for which he was attacked by the President was sanctioned by the people. Mr. Field proceeded to speak of the frauds perpetrated im the matter of the Lecompton constitution, Mr. Clark bed withstood the President, and for that reason he had beem denounced. He had stood by the people, and for thas rea- 2 he must be defended. He must be and he would be elected. (Loud applause.) Music by the band, and loud calls for Forney. The Chairman stated that Mr. Forney would soon have the honor of addressing them. In’ the meantime ke would introduce the Hon. Richard Busteed. SPEECH OF MI. RICHARD HUSTERD, Mr. Brstrep was heartily applauded as he came for- ward. Te said: — Men of New York—The occasion which calls us together to night is, happily for our people, one of as unfrequens occurrence as itis of real and abiding importance. This is nota gathering of politicians. It is not @ republicam meeting, although nuinerously attended by persons of thas polilical stripe; it is not an American meeting, as this word ‘*American’’ is used to designate a particular class of political opinions, although many persons professing those opinions are here; it is not a democratic meeting, although I see around me men of well known democr: tendeneies and character. J do not understand the cali as addressed to us as politicians, butas men. I under- stand it to be an appeal upon bebalf of freedom—tree- dom, vet ot the black, but of the white raan—freedom, not in Kansas, but im New York—freedom, not of the far ‘Weert, but bere at our doors it the East—freedom, not of the forest avd prairie, but of our own great city. To suc appeal bo citizen is at Lberty to turn adeafear. Ne man who values personal Liberty, or who can appreciate others, will hesitate @ moment to fight beneatla y thread of which is an heirloom of freedom. ‘nd, sir, to make & polities! +h, or rather £ am pot here to- net in do not intend to make a party speech. night to speak im praise or censure of the administration of James Bucnanan, Tam here to speak of Horace F.

Tam here to declaun against the slavery of white men in the District of Columbia, Tam here to be heard upou the side of honest suffrage in Kansas and in New York, avd in favor of the right of sell goverument— the dearest, best inheritance of the American Revolution. Tam here because the history of our times proves that “who would be free themselves most strike tbe blow.’’ I said, sir, that the occasion which rings ws together i oue of latge concern, What ts it that has attracted this numerous and orderly assemblage of thinking men? What is it that welds together this vast macs of intelligence in one distinct and imposing form? Why is it that this throng is moved by one common im- hs It ts because Liberty has been wounded in the se of its frtends—it is becange a representative in the popular branch of the national Legislature is attempted to A beneath the machinery of party, and frowned gress b none will serve it those who are of a nice and jealous 1 to serv honor.’ The cause is worthy of the men of the Fighth Congressional district; and your outspokom tonight, reaching in its “influences to pert of our couutry, will be a cheering as- surance that the spirit of liberty animates your geal, aud that your love of right i* superior to mere party obli- gations. I sapport the claims of Horace F. Clark to elec- liom for Congress upon two distinct grounds: he is honest, and be i capable. These are the tests by which I judge of his fitness, What man of any party, having any cha- racter for intelligence or virtue, will dare say that the — becmenhr poed = Low nominations’ to the questions ome bonesty? bations are thoee which the wishes Jority of the electors, and any other of the highest grade.
