Russell for Comptroller, and of James Lynch for Almshouse Governor. Mozart Hall is not exclusively, nor even principally, as ‘6 name would seem to imply, devoted to musical or art purposes. It is on Broadway, opposite Bond street, and is now the headquarters of that section of the city demo- cracy self-designated “the regulars.” Their banner is spread on the outer walls, in the shape of an immense transparency, covering the entire breadth of the building, and representing in yivid colors a grand battle between the Tammany Hall faction—represented by painted In- dans, with tomahawk in hand and fire-water in head— and the regulars, represented by the civilized white man. ‘The victory is, as a matter of course, with the latter. Tho issue of tbe contest is portrayed by the figure of one of ‘the regulars standing in triumphal attitude, with his foot on the neck of a sachem, whose prostrate form lies before him—poor Columbia standing in a very melancholy posture enthe temple of liberty, which occupies the centre of the tableau. Such is Mozart Hall and the use to which it is at present consigned. The Regulars had a great demonstration there Just night, or at least one which was intended 4o be great. The occasion was the ratification of the municipal nomina- tions of the Regulars—to wit, of Stephen P. Russell for Comptroller and James Lynch for Almshouse Governor, One of the bands of the city was there in full force, in- viting the Regulars and all who had music in their souls to the regalement at Mozart Hall. Some three or four hundred respectable looking per- sons—the Regulars are remarkably pectable looking for politicians—were attracted by the political and musical inducements, but for so large a hall the attendance ap- peared to be rather slim, ‘The meeting was called toorder by Mr. George C. Genet, at about eight o’clock, and Dr, Stephen Hasbrouck, of the Figth ward, was chosen Chairman. ‘The names of the usual number of Vice Presidents and Secretaries—-two of each from each war!—were read and of course approved of. While the names were being read, some ward organization entered the room with a banner Dearing the names of the peopie’s choice for Comptroller and Almshouse Governor, and transparencies with the mottoes— COMO IL LE RELOLDIORDIODE DAO LEED LODE DOODEY TAMMANY HALL 18 PLAYED OUT, OOOO LE OOO SELENE DONIOREIEDEODDS eonreees' fannvacsrecacsoreaearsnne $6 none’ WE WILL CARRY THE DAY.

With this belief we selected in the first instance Mr. James T. Soutter, with an intimation at the time that he would accept the office. For the reasons ppanying letter he was reluctantly compelled to decline: — LETTER OF JAMES Y. SOUTTER. New Youx, Nov, 15, 1858, To Menars.

Resolved, That between democrats the cholce of Comptroller lies between Stephen P. Russel and George H. i urcer. Whilst fairly presenting the claims of the former, we hive 0 Wish to depreciaie those of the latter. Of Mr. Russel, how- ever, we can say that we challenge the closest comparison with his antagoniet, “Ttcannot de said of bim that he has been fit teen years in munickpal office, during whieh period ie hat grown rich whilst dhe Corporation haa grown poor; that he had ver acted ‘ax the broker for corrupt Aldermen; that he had pated winter after winter in the Jobby at All that he ad figured on the rostrum as the advocate of infid: that he bad prepared the celebrated Muria Monk exp production As false in facts ae it was infamous and degrade fentiment—or that he wag willing 19 give up am ott (Corp ration Attorney) of four thousand collars per year salary for another (Compurolier) of but three thousand dollars per year salary.

One bold and ener- getic effort will crown our cause with success, and leave our AYrant masters covered with the ruins of ignominious defeat, While the resolutions were being read, the boys of another ward organization entered with a brass drum, the national banner, and a transparency, with the figure of a gume-cock painted on it, After they were readthe Chairman announced that Mr. MeMahon would asdaress the meeting; but the meeting called for Mike Walsh and for Fernando Wood, and kept up the call for some time. Neither of these two gentlomen coming forward, the meeting had a speech from Mr. T. W. McMahon. He contrasted the character of the two nomi- nees for Comptroller—the candidate of the regulars and the candidate of Tammany Hall, While be was speaking there entered another proces- sion of boys with banners and transparencies, and there were three cheers given for the Twentieth ward, fol- lowed by three more for Russell and Lynch. About this time the audience had increased to some five or six hundred people. The speaker continued to describe the character of the candidates for Comptroller by nega- tives, For instance, Mr. Russell had not grown rich on petty offices, had not attacked holy nuns, had not led a mob against the house of the good Catholic Bishop Dubois, had not written or published that vile production, Maria Monk; bad not lec- tured on infidelity; had not been for years the corrupt lobby agent of the Common Council, and bad not done aa other vile things which he enumerated: When he ended there were loud shouts for Walsh, Wood. McSweeney and others, Neither Mr. Waish norMr. Wood Was prescnt, and then the popular voice was divided be- tween Taylor and Hennessey, There did not appar to be many speakers on band, but Mr. Hennessey responded to the call, and spoke for a few minutes in reference to some Mr, John Griffin, whom he designated a sucker, and who, ‘he said, was going through the Sixth ward maligning Mr. Russell, and askiwg was he guilty of this and that abomi- nable crime. MR. RUSSELL’S SPEECH. The next speaker was the candidate, Mr. Srermey P. Resvert. He said—I thank you for this cordial and en- thusiastic reception, Since I became a voter, I have been devotedly attached to the principles of the democratic par- ty, believing that the policy of that party rests upon the copstitution as ite basis; 1 it is the party which, above ail others, bas ever continued “to hold the union ‘of the ‘States as the basis of their peace and happiness; to support the constitution, which is the cement of the Union, as well in its limitations as its authorities; to respect the rights and authorites reserved to the States and to the people, as equally incorporated with and essential to the success of the genera) system; and to avoid the slightest interference with the rights of conscience or the functions of 80 wisely exempted from civil jurisdiction.’” friends, this can hardly be regarded as amere for the only political issue involved in itis the one between our organization and that of Tammany I will not weary you by attempting to give a his- mocracy eligion Bat, my tical Hall. tory of the injustice practised towards the by the organization referred to.

I turn to another theme:— In accepting your nomination for Comptrolier, I am fully aware of the responsibility I shall have to assdme, and of ‘the dif ities Ts! have to encounter if elected. The re- cent developements as to the improper manner in which the alairs of the Finance Departinent are conducted, show, on the part of many of the Comptroller's employes ‘the morance of their official duties—as, ‘Attention to my health is my paramount duty at present, and é - 1] grossest , for in: ee ee, ee the onl or pene line Sonera Stance, the bookkeeper cannot tell the actual at an, make pecuniary sacrifices on the altar of patrio. | amount of stocks issued by the city; valuable ten:but fem quite satinfied, from inquiry, that Teould not | papers in the office are improperly cared for; perform the labors of the Compuviler sudice as I would per | whole bundles of papers might easily be (and have them if there without serigus injury to an already b- | doubtless been) stolen; over payments have been fre Paired constitution. _ | quently made, &c.

Of him it can be truly nid that if @ long and well apent life in our midst, which has been devoted to the honest pur- suit of mechanical industry, without ever receiving the slightest slander or attack, /s any proof of integrity and rectitude, he is indeed the right man for the rig!

Having thus briefly stated the personal character of our candidates, we ave only to add that as democrats, and as firm and unflinching advocates of the great principles of our beloved party, they are beyond to cn 7 imbued with the ity of reform in the councils of the Old Wigwam, and confident that the hold, deflant action which we now aseumesis indispensible in procuring this change, they, like ourselves, believe that there is no other course consistent with the future permanent welfare of the party and with self No longer willing that the party organization shall reflect only the interests and prejadices of the thirteen Sacheme—that the Board of Trustees of the recret, close corporation of yy Society shall govera the honest masses who vote the ticket—wo are resolved to continue our ition until freed from fo dangerous an oligarchy, which is as destructive wo the prosperity of the party as it is repugnant to tho simplest precopte of democratic government.

NEWS FROM THE WEST INDIES, rogress of the ward schools, to know that the arrange- | ‘The Frigate SabinemShe ts Forced to Leave ment of the various articles prepared for this exhibition has ‘at last been accomplished, after considerable, but, we are assured, unavoidable delay. ‘The greater part of the labor of getting up the affatr was performed by Mr. William Jay Haskett, who bas taken an active and earnest part in the matter, and who has been untiring in hie exertions to ob- tain a fair representation from all the sehools of the city. The exhibition is, as our readers are already aware, in one of the largest halls of the Peter Cooper Institute, and the articles exhibited consist of specimens of drawing, useful and ornamental needlework, painting in water colors, pen manship, and other products of the needie, the pen, the free and the brush. There were other articles on ex ‘bition which should properly have no place in the ball, which hag been set apart for this special purpose, We refer to the use which has been mate of the place, and the occasion, as a means of advertising, and of the attempt to take advantage of both for the sale of goods belonging tosome shrewd and enterprising dealers. There are some fifty schools represented in the exhibi- tion, and the articles contributed by each are arranged with much taste and neatness. Of these we can only speak of afew, School No. 4 has some admirable speci- mens of writing, and several very superior drawings were done by Miss Mary A. Bertine, a young lady of much talent and promise. The writing Would reflect cre- dit on any master in the art of chirography. In both there branches School No. 2 occupies a prominent posi- tion, and the ornamanta! needlework ia hichly creditable. ‘The principal of the school it Mra, lizaboth W. Garrett. But decidedly the finest piece of ornamental work is that contributed by School No, 18, which is a memorial of the first class to their teacher, This is made entirely of hair, and besides being an exquisite piece of work, is quite & curiosity in its way, Miss De ve, the cipal, is in charge, School No, 24, play in the way of drawings, and Primary School has a moet creditable collection of needlework speci- mens. These have been made by children of from six to ten years of age, and they are perfect wonders of pa tient labor and skill. There is one quilt composed of 2,049 pieces or patches, and another of 2,415. Then there isa praiseworthy effort at domestic economy in the shape of two darned stockings which were pointed out to us, and which are no less deserving than the other and higher efforts in needlework. The articles are under the care of Miss McDanicls. A head dress, by a little girl six years old, Alice McGowan, is an astonishing effort, and deserving of notice. The school of which Mr. M. J. O'Donnel is principal, and which is known as the old Mott street ‘school, stands out prominently in the Writing and drawing departments. There are some specimens of the latter by one of ‘his pupils, named, Michael J. Phelan, which as works of art,’ are indicative of a high order of genius, Master Phelan hag talent of no ordinary character, and we trust he will receive that attention and care in its developement which such talent as his should have. The writing—of which there are a great many imens—is more like engraving than the product of the pen. School No. 34, of which Goldey is principal, is also among the most noticeable. Its specimens of draw ing and writing are excellent, and a sketch of the branch of a pear tree, with fruit and blossoms, by Miss Mary E. Townley, at once arrests the attention of the viaiter by its beauty and truthfulness. Ward school No. 28 is among the first for paintings in water colors. Miss Kelly i# principal. In conclusion, we desire toadd that the articles on exbibition from the colored school No, 1, Miss Gwynne principal, are particularly worthy of notice. There is a small sbirt, of the most Lilliputian dimensions, which is a perfect miracle of needlework, Miss Susan Ketchum is the maker. City Intelligence.
