With most commendable punctuality Dodvworth’s Band came along about nine o'clock, and struck up popular air, It was- followed by avother and another, and soon the crowd in ‘ercased till there was probably a hundred and {fifty per- sons present. After a short interval of time, which Se- nator Douglas improved by making the acquaintance of gome politicians and citizens, and a fow ladies who had as sembled to greot him in one of the parlors af the hotel the window leading to the balcony was opened, and Mr. Douglas, attended by Alderman Bradley, stepped out, and presented bimself to the crowd below.

Yet Thaye not the vanity to suppose that thoze demon- strations are intended. asa -opai compliment tome, T preter to Uctieve, SNd Trejoice in.the conviction, that it is a demonstration of your attachment to that great princi- ple of gcif government which declares it (o bo the right of ' the people of cuch State aud each Territory of this Union to ; form end regulate thoir Gomestic institutions in their own ) way, (Hurrab.) That great principle underlies our com- plex system of government. All our political institutions: Test upon it, The peace, the harmony, the perpetuity of f+ the republic, depend upon the maintaining of that princi- le inviolate, a8 it was vindicated by our Revolutionary ‘ fathers. (Cheers.) Iam rejoiced to know that this great city, the metropolis of the New World, is a fair representa | tive of the putiotism,the love of country , of this whole Union. You beiong to no section. While your city is within the limits of the Empire Stato, yet it represents the Union, not the State of New York, “(Hurrah.) Itis tho heart of | the repubiic—it is the centre of commerce, of finance. In it ali the commercial transactions of the country centre, and from {t they must all emanate. You have no right, therefore, tv be sectional. (A voice from below, “ Nary a bit.”) You have no right to belong to the North, or to the South, or to the East, or to the West; but you are bound to maintain that representative character which is just to all sections of the country. (Applause. A voice, * Why dou’t you pitch iuto the administration”) Let this great principle of States rights, of popular sovereignty, b+ muintained—the right of each State to regulate its own affairs—and let it be accorded to the Territories, and then preserve the constitution of the United States inviolate; ‘and this Union can exist forever, a8 our fathers maie it, divided into free and slave States, 20 long as any)State may choose to muintain slavery. (Loud applause.) You of Now York requiate your domestic institutions to cuit your- solves; permit no interference from abroad, Having ex- ercised that right according to your sovereign plensure, you must award the same right und protect the same privilege in every other State. (Cheera,) If this great principle can be maintained tis Union can last foreyor, and can constantly and steadily expand aod increase as its population expands, until it shall cover the entire con- tinent. (Applause.) It may be suid with trath that we have now territory enough, that we had enough when the Declaration of Independence was made, when the treaty of peace with Rogland was signed, and when the constitution was adopted. Yet in every Guecersive short peria! an increase of population created a necessity for an inerease of territory. This is a young, vigorous, grow- ing nation. We must obey the law of the Scripture by increasing and multiplywg. (Laughter and applause.) Increase is the law of our existence and of our safety. ‘ Just ae faust as our population increases our territory must expand. You caonot arrest this law.

I took the ground then thay questions relating to Central America, Mexico, or any part $ of the Continent, are American questions, about which no Furopean Power has a right to ask to be consulted (Ap- plause.)

[ts ‘voice was not heard, nor its advieo aeked, for the reason that America was too far off to havo a suitivient interest in European qucetions. I trust that when questions with regard to Cuba or Mexico or Central America shail arise, Eurepe will be held to be too far off to have'a right to be consulted avout them. (Loud choers.) ‘The few feeble Powers of America are our natural allies, and are natnrally dependont upon us for protection. We have greater interest in them than any foreign Power has. / Wo aro interested in seeing that they shall have firm and stable governments. Our policy should look to our des- tiny, and be in harmony with what ié to. come in the fu- ture, Ido not say that we onght, at ano blow, to acquire & vast amount of new territory. ‘On the contrary, let us proceed slowly, gradually, steadiiy—Americanizing first, and annexing afterwards.’ (Laughter and applause.) Le our foreign policy be consistent with our fatnre duty; aud, hence, let us néver make a treaty with France, or with England, or with any foreign Power, tying our hands in the future in opposition to what our interest and safoty may require. For entertaining an? ay maintaining this doctrine I had the misfortune to be degraded from my position on the Committee on Forcign Affairs in 1851. 1 was degraded then because my opdaions wore in opposi- ' tion to the views of the Senate on tho Clayton-Bulwor ' treaty.

It is said that there are two or three hundred Africans, of very recent importation, now located in this district, near the Savannah river, and not far below Hamburg. We have not seon them; but they have been seen, as we are informed, and the strange circumstance is an undis- puted reality, Much mystery envelopes tho case, No one knows (or will aliow that he knows) either who brought these Africans here or who has them in keeping. Many surmises are ailoat as to what will be done with them. Some say they can be bought at from $500 to $1,000 per ond. But there appears to be no oue who will make a guarantee title.

Before they could reach the house, however, Williams sneceeded in making his exit and eliveting a successful escape. ‘he oflicers arrested Brown and two young Indies (who were in the room at tho timo of tho affray), aud then called in a physician to attend to the woundea woman, Upon au examination the doctor found that the ball had entered the left side, and glancing off the abdominal mus- cles, traversed the intervening space, wounding and lodg- ing in the muscles of the back near the spinal column. The wound is not necessarily fatal, but the symptoms evinced by the patient yesterday morning were anything but favorable, “A consultation of the medical attendants will bo held this evening, when the roal extent of the injury will probably be ascertained. Brown and the young iadies are at pre- sent confined as witnesses, but Las! will probably be liberated in the course of the day. It is said that both Brown and Williams are men of very respectable connec- ons, and that they are both members of a tasiionable Club not a thousand miles away from Union square. Oiticers Brevoort and Masterton arrested Williams yes- terday. He was taken before Justice Quackenbush, and held to answer. Up toa late hour last evéning the physicians had not ! sneceeded in extracting the ball from the wounded wo- mun, but sho was ns comfortable as circumstances would | permit. City Intelligence. Tue Ory Year Ovr ann nm New Yeax In.—The old cus- tom of secing the old year out and welcoming the advent of the new year was duly celebrated Jast night, and the attendance was large, despite the weather. Just before midnight the chimes of Trinity church struck up to warn those ‘who vigils keep” that the old vear was dying. At 2 0" there was an intermission for the hour w strike, ells again took up the joyful strain. In the there were prayer meéetings at the Ascension , 0 Fifth avenue, in the Madison Street Free Mis- sion church, and also in other Episcopal churches throughout tho city. At midnight there were not want- ing the uéual gangs of rowdies in the gtreets, making the nizbt hideous by their uncarthly noises. um WEATHER AND THE Stxekrs.—The old year distin- d itself at its close by one of the most uacomfortable storms this city hag witnessed for a twelvemonth. There is nothing unpleasant, in the way of bad weather, that our citizens did not experience yesterday. It rained, hatied, | drizzled, blew aud stormed in every ¢ morn til midnight, to the great disgust i had postponed buyivg their New Year's gifts and the ne- cessaries for their tables until the last moment. Streets, to use a favorite feminine adjective, wer rid.” The snow became at once a huge ocean of inde- scribable nastiness which it was entircly impossible for | females to navigate without undergoing a martyrdom men can have no conception of. Days such us yesterday are enough to convert all women to the Bloomer creed, despite the ugliness of that costume. Broadway was particularly bad, owing to the gutters in the side streets being choked up. Altogether, the old year could not have left us under more unfavorable auspices. Let us bope thatthe New Year will at least commence better, Foe on tun Rivers.—Towards evening yesterday the fog became so dense on the Fast river as to seriously im- pede the passage of the Williamsburg ferry boats, and cousequently some minor accidents occurred. The Peck slip ferry boat Niagara, on attempting to enter tho slip at the Williamsburg side, about six o’clock, ran against a de- | fective pile and had a hole perforated in the floor of the | ladies’ cabin by it. Owing to the tide, and other circum. | stances, she was detained there nearly bal’ an hour, and | meanwhile the bulk of her passengers were taken off by the ferry boat Canada. About the same hour the Oncota, on cntering her slip on the New York side, came in contact with a hw don | atthe dock, had her star- board wheelhouse torn the cabin seriously dam- aged. “After these two accidents the pilots of the Peck | slip boats deemed it advisable to run their boats to the foot of Grand street, New York, where they continued to run during the evening. The only damage done was to the boats. Fortunately no person or passenger was in- jured. ‘The done to the ‘boats will probably | amount to about $3,000. A dense fog settled over the North river about four o'clock yesterday aftornoon, | making pavigation rather hazardous. The Jersey City , and Hoboken ferry boats made their trips without very matorial interruption. Revern Home ov tiny Ausany Finzurn.—The members of D. D. Tompkins Engine Company No. 8, of Albany, were unable to vis the institutions yesterday on account of the weather, so they amused themselves by trying their | new engine at the Fifth ward liberty pole. “Its perform- an for a small engive, gave mi satisfaction, The | Mr. Jony B TOOKER to Macaig, only daughter of Charles | Tasuen 1.
