By the arrival of the City of Baltimore, from Liverpool on the 26th,and Cork, Ireland, on the NEW YORK HERALD, 28th ultimo, at this port yesterday, we received one day's later news from Europe. Consols closed ia London on the 27th ultimo at 95§ a 954 for money, and 953 a 95] for the account. Cotton had experienced a slight decline in Liver- pool at latest reports. War was virtually declared between Spain and Morocco, and great excitement existed in all the European capitals, owing to the fact that Napoleon had announced that he would aid Spain both with men and money, as he did Pieimont. England felt | uneasy with respect to the ultimate effect of the complications on the independence of Gibraltar. A large British naval force was collected near the fortress. France had also a respectabie squad- ron at hand. The Spanish Consul General had left Tangier and arrived at Algesiras. The army of Spain felt confident of victory. | Garibaldi had issued a stirring ptoclamation to | the Italian people, recommending a national union for national purposes, Great numbers of English- men were subscribing to his gun fund, and a counter revolution in Italy was imminent.

Many engineers, and others who were present at the Hall, in expectation of » meet- ing, were informed that it was postponed till next week. The weather continued rather mild yesterday, and the sky overcast, with flow and then a dense fog prevailing, which somewhat retarded river na- vigation. Things are evidently preparing for a storm. The sales of cotton yesterday embraced between 4,000 and 5,000 bales, included in which were 3,000 in transitu, parts of which was middling Gulfs at 113c., with freight at 9-16d. The market for lots on the spot was at 11}{c. a 11Xc. for middling uplands, The receipts at the ports since the Ist of September last have reached 783,000 bales, against 684,000 in 1858, 298,000 in 1857, 539,000 in | 1856, and $36,600 in 1855. The total exports for the same period have reached 312,000 bales, against 228,000 in 1858, 145,000 in 1857, 134,000 in 1856, and 274,000 in 1855. | Of the total exports since Ist of September, Kagland has | taken 229,000 bales, Franco 69,000 bales, and other ports of Europe 24,000.

At Liverpool there was an advancing tendency in the cotton market, and prices had improved one-sixteenth to one-eighth of a penny for clean, fair and middling qualities. Breadstufls were quiet, | while provisions were dull. By the arrival of the Atlantic at this port from Aspinwall, we have received news from California, San Juan Island, Central America, New Granada, and the South Pacific republics. Full details are given in to-day’s paper. The Atlantic brought 344 passengers and $1,568,167 in gold. The advices from San Francisco are to the 20th wit, six days later than the accounts brought by the overland mail. The only event of importance that bas occurred was the arrival of Lieut-General Scott on the 17th ult., his enthusiastic reception by the citizens of San Francisco, and his departure on the 16th for the island of San Juan. He was ex- pected to be absent about three weeks. The latest accounts from San Juan represent matters there as unchanged. The troops were in quiet poszession, and actively engaged in strengthing the defences. From Central America we have letters dated at San Juan del Norte on the 224 ult. A good deal of excitement prevailed for some days at | that place im consequence of reports of the | speedy opening of the transit route, but the ygople | were disappointed. The American Consul, Ran | Runnels, is said to have got a new concession for | the route from the Nicaraguan goverament. Three | United States war ships, with one English vessel, | were stationed so as to intercept filibusters. There | was a great dread of Walker and such like cha- | racters, but a more friendly feeling towards peace- | ful American settlers. Indeed, some leading Nica- raguans had openly expressed themselves in favor of annexation to the United States. The harbor of San Juan del Norte was completely obliterated by filling of sand. From New Granada we have advices dated at Bogota on the 9th of September, and at Aspinwall and Panama on the 2d of November. A very ex- cited state of revolutionary feeling prevailed in most of the provinces against the federal govern- ment. Government had declared the Confedera- tion in a state of war, and closed the ports of Car ° thagena and Cabinills azainst foreign trade. Very strong southerly gales prevailed in the bay of Pa nama. News had been received there of the loss of the Boston bark Rienzi, from Arica for Rotter- dam. A boat containing the mate and five seamen ‘was supposed to have been lost. The captain, with some others of the crew, was saved, after being at sea twenty-seven days in an open boat. The steam. ship North Star had not arrived at Aspinwall from New York when the Atlantic left, The news from the South Pacific is dated at Val. paraiso, the 30th of September; Callao, the 16th, and Paita and Islay, the 17th of October. It is im. portant. A severe shock of earthquake had laid half of the town of Copiapo in rains, and destroyed ‘many lives. The Chilean Minister to Peru was mur. will be hostility to slavery, to the extension of slavery and “the slave powor,” how is this sectional movement to be resisted in order to be defeated ? The elections of the present year have appa- rently driven the democratic party to the south side of Mason and Dixon’s line. The only free State which we may set down as cer- tain to support the Charleston ticket in 1860, in any contingency, is Califernia. Pevnsylvania appears to be hopelessly lost; New Jersey ditto; Indiana is exceedingly doubtful, and Illi- nois depends upon anodor a shake of the head from Mr. Douglas. In this shaven and shorn condition, what are the forlorn demo- cracy to do, or what can they do to be saved? The Charleston Convention will decide either upon a sectional or a national course. If the should adopt the former, the proceeding will be the last of the party; but upon whom, as a national man, on a broad and conservative national platform, can the Charleston Conven- tion rally and consolidate the broken and routed battalions of the party? Let us briefly inquire. As the lines are now drawn upon the slavery question, it is morally certain that no Southern man, as the democratic candidate for the suc- cession, can entertain the slightest hope of an election by the people. The best that he can hope for is the intervention of a third party, which will enable him to carry the election into the House of Representatives, where the third party may carry off the prize. We be- lieve this, because we cannot call to mind the name of any Southern man, within reach of the Charleston Convention, who could count upon any Northern State except California. The De- mocratic National Conventior, then, as in 1852, | and as in 1856, will again be compelled to take its candidate from the North, in order to give ‘an odor of nationality” to the party. Upon this idea the friends of Mr. Douglas are still sanguine of his success. But, believing as we do that his antiLecompton war against the administration, and his popular sovereignty theories, have rendered him entirely unaccept- able to the South for the present, we must look elsewhere for our available Northern men; we mean available for 1860, for Mr. Douglas may come up the special favorite of the South by the year of grace 1864. Will Mr. Dickingon, of New York, answer for the Charleston Convention? No; for Mr. Dick- inson, never very strong, has become a very weak old man, and has permitted the chuckling Albany Regency to wind him around their fingers. Will Horatio Seymour do? No; for he is nothing more than a petty Albany Politician, Some talk of poor Pierce; but we consider him about as available for the necessities of the democratic party as Martin Van Buren, and not half so available as the Prince John. Where, then, is our available Northern democrat for 1860 to be found? There is no other than Mr. Bachanan, Te cau secure all the Southern States and the two or three Nortbern States necessary to an election on the democratic side. The late Northern elections have gone by default, Their results indicate that upwards of half a million of votes are missivg. But let the issue in 1860 be be- tween the conservative national policy and principles of Mr. Buchanan on the one hand, and the revolutionary policy and doctrines of Seward on the other, and these missing votes will bo found on the side of the Union and the constitution. We preeume that the democratic members of the new Congress will seize an early opportu- nity to compare notes touching the man and the platform of the party for the succession. Let them, in doing so, rally upon the adminis- tration and measures of Mr. Buchanan, North and South, and give them a cordial support, and before the meeting of the Charleston Con- 4 vention the delegates thereto will be sufficient ly enlightened to understand their true course. The Southern democratic members of Congress have'the game in their hands, They may an- ticipate and control, or entirely supersede, the Charleston Convention; butif they fail to do either, the reckless spoilamen and vagabonds of the Convention, in their senseless wranglings over “the nigger,” will be very apt to divide the party into two or three sectional oamps. In a word, as the general policy of Mr. Bu- chanan’s administration is the only basis upon which the nationality of the democratic party can be maintained, so the course of the demo- crats of the new Congress upon this subject will go very far to determine the Presidgptial issuc. A general democratic adhesion to the adminis- tration will indicate tho national reunion of the party; but the repetition of tho factious doings of the last Congress will only serve to precipitate the dissolution of the party before they enter the field for the Presidential battle. Tae Municrran Exeorron anp Muntcrran Re- rorM.—Tho political parties in this city are sorely exercised about their candidates for the charter election. The republicans are particu- larly puzzled as to a choice between Hamilton Fish, Simeon Draper and Horace Greeley for the office of Mayor. Now, we do nol see any ne- cessity for this trouble. If the democrats do not become greatly distracted the republicans need not distress themselves about a choice of candidates. But if they are bent on entering the lists they can easily get rid of the difficulty by running Horace Greeley. If elected he would make as gooda Mayor as any person they could name; but as that is not probable, they might put him on the track, just to see how he would run. He has the reputation of being a fast runner. He is to be Postmaster General, if Seward should be elected President, and it would be well to give him first a little experience in office as chief magistrate of the city, or, if that is not on the cards, then to test his popularity with his party by entering him in the race, to ascertain whether he would not poll more votes in New York than the republican candidate for Governor. But the chances are greatly against his success. Fernando Wood is in the field. He will get the nomination next week from Mozart Hall, and probably Tammany, as usual, will follow suit. Whoelse may be in the field we do not know. But one thing is certain, and that is, whoever gets the democratic nomination must, in order to be elected, promise sweeping and extensive reforms, and satisfy the citizens of his ability to carry them out. The taxes, already ten mil- lions, may be increased to twelve next year by the efficiency of Tiemann, Haws and others. By a good Mayor at least two millions can be saved from the present expenditure, but he must be aided in the work of retrenchment and reform by all round, including the Corpora- tion Counsel, an office to which it will be well for the people to direct their special attention. The city has five millions worth of property, the intercet qn which, at ten per cent, would be $500,000, or half a million per annum; yet from this vast property it reaps no’ revenue. The rents are caten up by officials who make no returns. By the election of an energetic and honest Mayor this source of munic' wealth could be made to yield a handsome in- come to the treasury, which would relieve the citizens from so much taxation. The coneervative classes, without regard to party politics, are waiting to see what candi- dates will take the field; and the Democratic Vigilant Association are following the same course, and will not make any move till the various nominations are determined. They will then act with vigor and throw their weight into the balance for the right man in the right place. Let all the parties, therefore, and their nominating conventions, be careful as to what kind of candidates they put forward, if they expect to see them elected. Areserve of thirty or forty thousand democratic voters, who did not care to come forward at the State election, hold the balance of power, and are ready to turn the fate of battle and the scale of victory in the municipal struggle in the beginning of the next month. It will be a contest for the emancipation of the city from rowdyism and corruptiog, and for the accomplishment of re- trenchment and reform in every department of the city government. TerrieLe Time: Bostoy.—We alluded the other day to the peremptory measures adopted by the Executive ot Massachusetts in relation to the State Agent, who enjoyed the monopoly of the sale of spirituous liquors under the pro- hibitory law, which has worked so beautifully everywhere. Charged with adulterating his FRIDAY, liquors, the Agent was called upon by the Le- gislature to give up the books of the agency. He did not comply with the order, and was ar- rested for contempt by the Sergeant-at-Arms of the House. Still contumacious, his case was brought before the House, which, by a large majority, directed the Speaker to prepare hia warrant for the committal of the Agent to the common jail of the county, there to ruminate at his leisure ever his bibulous peccadilloes. The Speaker issued his warrant, and the of fender was duly incarcerated, after very coolly requesting the Speaker to present him with the pen that was used in signing the warrant. It is a very curious Boston notion all around: the law was curiong, the creation of such a fat place was curious, and the last proceeding was the most curious of all. To make the matter still more complicated, the Agent will probably sue the State for false imprisonment, and thus the Boston gossips will have something to talk about for a long while. Perhaps the best way to end the matter would be to compel tho Agent to drink some of his own liquor. Ac- cording to all accounts that would finish him at once, e NOVEMBER H, 1859, The tustruments of Demagogues-—Their | chilects, builders, and all who have had a hand Destiny. driven to madness by reflection upon the con- sequences of doctrines with which his mind had become poisoned, and which he had con- tributed to support. Personally kind, amiable and philanthropio, the bloody scenes which he could calmly theorize about, as a philosopher, overturned his mind after they had been carried jato practical operation. The Harper's Forry developement of the infamous programmo laid down by William H. Seward, at Rochester, haunts him day and night, and he imagines himself guilty of murders, which he could en- courage before realizing their atrocity, aad would, perbaps, sacrifice his life to have pre- vented, now that the evil is irreparable. And Mr. Smith is but one of a multitude of the miserable catspaws and fanatics, whom venal, cold hearted, calowlating demagogues at the North, after having used to accomplish tho purpose of making for themselves political capital, have heartlcssly thrown aside, ruined, or destroyed, when the ends were gained which they had in view. “So incompatible,” said Mr. Seward, “are the two systems, of free aud servile labor, that every new State makes its first political act a choice of the one, and an exclusion of the other, even at the cost of civil war if neces- sary.” In accordance with this authoritative dictum, Horace Greeley got hold of poor Colonel Forbes, gave him twenty dollars and a dinner, and packed him off to drill abolition- ist rebels in Kansas. Ho told him that when the time for Sighting came, he desired to be there, and requested Forbes to send him word. Greeley, of course, had no more intention of going than Seward has of shouldering a musket in the great “ irrepressi- ble conflict between opposing and enduring forces.” But his object was obtained. Forbes and his battalion of fellow dupes, created, or manufactured a hideous succession of “out- rages,” with which the republican mouthpieces, Eust and West, succeeded in keeping their followers agape, and the country distracted, for several years. He risked his life and wast- ed his strength and energies in the service of the conspirators who had employed him; but the moment he interfered with their plans—as in remonstrating against the folly ef the Har- per’s Ferry invasion—he was given the cold shoulder, and finally tossed overboard. Greeley gives Forbes no dinners now, but denounces him as an idiot, and has even mado a foolish attemptto call his veracity in question. The greater part of the wretched instrumonts of the rebellion at Harper’s Ferry were shot. Some of them were drowned, and the remainder will be hanged. A few of the accessories before the fact may, possibly, be reached by the arm of justice, and others more sensitive and con- scientious, like Gerrit Smith, may be deprived of their senses by remorse. All these, however, have been but the tools and victims of cav- tious, far-sighted apostles of treason, who have preached, for years, what John Brown and his followers practised. While they have puffed themselves and each other up, with the idea that they were heroes and philanthropists, they have only been the political pick-locks, with which demagogues have made their way into State and federal legislative halls, and lobby spoilsmen have gained access to the public treasury. The thousand dollars which Mr. Greeley knows about, and the five thousand dollar free wool operation, were Sut petty in- stalments of the hoped for pecuniary gain of Weed and his fellow wirepullers. Messrs. Hale, Wilson, Sumner, Giddings, Chase, and their compeers, have had their own ambitious ends to further, while Seward has worked slowly, craftily and steadily op, through the instruments whom he has goaded by his speeches into insurrection, until he stands, without a rival, as the candidate of the Northern free soil opposition for the Presi- dency of the United States. Thus while Brown, Cook, Stevens, Forbes, Gerrit Smith and the score who were killed in Virginia, on the 17th ult., perish, the instigators of their murders and treasons survive, denounce the failure of their undertaking as madness, and profit by its consequences. In May, 1858, Mr. Seward was informed by Forbes of the con- templated Harper’s Ferry movement, and said he was “sorry he had been told” of it. He, however, carefully abstained from divulging so important a secret, and, in October of the same year, gave the principles upon which Brown’s invasion of the South was based his emphatic approval, in the famous Rochester speech. He would even seem to have foreseen that the plea of insanity might be raised in Brown’s favor if his enterprise failed, and to have wished to protest against it in advance. “They who think,” he said, “that this collision is accidental, unnecessary, the work of inte- reated or fanatical agitators, and therefore ephemeral, mistake the case altogether.” Yet Brown is to be hung and Seward escapes. Brown dies the death of a felon, while the preacher of the crusade, through which “the United States must and will, sooner or later, j become entirely a slaveholding nation, or en- tirely a free labor nation,” bids fair to become | Chief Magistrate of the Union which his doc- trines would destroy. If the voice of the people does not, sooner or later, reach those who were the cause of the crimes for which Brown and his troop die in Virginia, and Gerrit Smith languishes in a lunatic asylum, they will never be punished. If men like Hale, Seward, Weed, Greeley, Gid- dings, Sumner, Wilson, Chase and others, are not condemned by their fellow citizens for having sowed the seed of evil, it will be a hard, cruel, though a natural destiny that their blind, deluded tools should reap the bitter fruits. Unless, however, the conservative por- tion of the voters of the North rouse themselves from the apathy, which the demoralization of parties has caused them to display at the late elections, it would appear as if demagoguism and treason were to be rewarded, while the agents it employs are broken to pieces and de- stroyed. Tue Great Easters.—It has been the habit amonget our English cousins to sneer at Ame- rican enterprise and management, as inclining, the one towards humbug and the other towards corrupt favoritism. We do not recollect any instance amongst our backslidings in which both these features have been go strikingly manifested as in the case of the Great Eastern by the English themselves. After the expendi- ture of more than a million sterling in the construction of this vessel, it turns out that not merely her machinery but her timber work is so defective that it cannot pass the inspection of the Board of Trade, The engineers, naval ar is | in her construction, would seem from this and Poor Gerrit Smith is in an insane asylum— | other similar faots to have been acting entirely independent of each other, and without any responsible head. The board of direction have, it appears, been so busy attending to the in- tereats of the separate cliques into which they are aplit up that they have had no time to de- vote to the supervision of the work. The con- eequence is, at least so say the London jour- nals, that not only ig the vessel a total failure in regard to the qualities anticipated of her, but that she is likely to remain a useless as well as gigantic monument of the folly, the selfishnesa and the humbug of her projectors. Party Ventilation in the Next Congress Corruption end Treason to be Arraigned at the Bar. The recent elections show that there are half a million of voters in the Northern and Middle States that have refused to go to the polls. In . this fact we have the key to the action of the g session of Congress. That body must take some action that will awaken the interest of the people in publio affairs, and the polifi- cians of all parties will contribute to the bring- ing about of such a result. First in order comos the contest for Speaker and the organization of the House of Represen- tatives. The election of the Speaker will de- termine the character of the committees to be appointed, and this in its turn has an important influence on the legislation of the session. It is now evident that the black republicans will succeed in electing their Speaker in the House, and this will throw the formation of the com. mittees into their hands. Their plan is to ap- point investigating committees on all sides, and to bring to light all the corruption, favor- itism, shortcomings, mistakes and fol- lies of the democratic administrations for eight or nine years back, and to excite afeeling of disgust against that party through- out the country, rathef than to attempt to get up popular enthusiasm ia their own behalf. The scheme is a deep one, and there is plenty of ma- terial for them to work with. Poor Pierce’s administration alone would exhibit corruption and folly enough, if rightly shown up, to sink any party beyond redemption. When to this are added the deception, corruption and treach- ery of the party leaders, who have endeavored on every side to hoodwink, mislead and thwart Mr. Buchanan, there will be found an Augean stable of political villany in which the rankest Puritan ruffian in the black republican ranks will find all the sin he may desire in an oppo- nent. On the other band, the turning of Stevens, one of the late treasonable conspirators at Harper's Ferry, over to the federal courts to be tvicd, will bring out all the facts in regard to the connection of Seward, Hale, Wilson, Chase and other black republican Senators with that high crime, and afford ground to the democratic partisans for an attempt to impeach them in the House, and a resolution for their expulsion from the Senate. In this matter we may leok for hot work during the coming session, as the democrats have a working majority in the Senate, and the contest will be one of life or death for their party. For such a course they have authority and precedent in the course of the Senate in relation to one of its members sixty-two years ago. In 1797 President Adams discovered that William Blount, Senator for the State of Ten- neeseo, had been carrying on a correspondence to instigate the Creek and Cherokee Indians to assist the Brilish in conquering the Spanish ter- ritories in Florida. The President sent one of the letters to Congress, and on the 6th of July the House committee reported a resolution im- peaching Blount “for high crimes and misde- meanors,” which was agreed to the next day. On the 8th of July tho Senate passed a resolu- tion declaring him “guilty of a high misde- meanor, entirely inconsistent with his public trust and duty as a Senator,” and expelling him from that body. Blount fled, and, we believe, was never brought to trial, although the House adopted resolutions of impeachment against him. Here we have a case in point, and a pre- cedent on which the democrats will no doubt act, for the purpose of making an offset to the grand overhauling which the black republicans are determined to give them. It only remains to be seen whether Seward ana his satellites will stand their trial, or whether they will follow the course of their co-conspirator, the black Douglass, and_flee to Exeter Hall for sympathy and support. Such an overhauling of party corruption and party treason as the next session of Congress promises to give us is much wanted to purify the political atmosphere, and to awaken the people to asense of the fact that the conduct of public affairs cannot be safely left to the worst dema- gogues of either political stripe. We may be prosperous now, and private affairs may sail on with the fair wind of large profits and ample returns; but if corruption is permitted to fas- ten unblushingly on the high places, and trea- son to plot in safety at the dictates of party, we shall soon find ourselves all involved in an- archy and fraternal strife, the sources of our prosperity dried up, and both public and pri- { vate affairs involved in an inextricable maze of confusion and ruin. A ventilation of ‘party misdeeds, such as the conflict of parties pro- mises us, is the only thing that will waken the people to a sense of their danger, and call out the half million of voters that now neglect their duty. Txvormarion Wantep.-Some of the small fry journals, North and South, are having a serious discussion about the early life of Dr. Howe, of Boston, whose name has been mixed up in the Harper's Ferry affair. One party in- sists that he was a great scamp, and the other a good boy, at college. The poets of the Post publish the discussion at length; but it seems tous that the Doctor's later doings ars more important than his youthful scrapes. Let us know how far the Doctor and the other Boston abolitionists are implicated with Brown. Awnipas SLexx’s Lasr.—Recently the tobac- co crop of the Connecticut valley has become an important element in the products of the State, and the fact has seriously exercised the mind of a pious editor down East, who has issued a tract called “An Appeal to a Deacon who Raises Tobacco on the Banks of the Connecti- cut.” Another has found that the devil, in the shape of the tobacco plant, has taken up his residence in the “ paradisiacal territory of Northampton,” and whines over tho fact in the most approved orthodox fashion. This is sheer cant, and it is a great pity that the par- sons have nothing better to do than to write and print it. Ossawatomix Brown To os Hung Cunraiy,— We have seen a letter from Gov. Wise, of Vix- ginia, in which he states that there fs no possi- bility of a pardon or a reprieve being extended to Brown, who therefore will certainly be exe- cuted on the appointed day; and porhaps it is better that he should be, All the artificial sympathy got up for him by the anti-slavery orators and journals of that ilk is ot no use whatever, and, moreover, it is no greater tham the sympathy which every other murderer oc great criminal exoltes upon all occasions, ia some quarter or another. Brown will certainly be put to death, aceord- ing to law, on the second day of December, and the penalty thus meted out is no more, after all, than he deserves. From the best ae counts of him it is evident that while in Kan- sas he was a notorious murderer and horse stealer, though ho then went unwhipt of jus- tice; and from all we learn of his career sineg, it appears that he has been a long time prepar- ing for this fresh work of murder and inaurree- tion at Harper's Ferry, in the accomplishment of which he has been cauglit, convicted and condemned. His entire course in Kansas, in 1866, was approved and encouraged by the leaders. He was them the recipient of their applause, their counsels and their assistance, Forbes was sent out to him to drill and train his brigands, and Greeley gave Forbes twenty dollars to carry him on his way. These same parties now claim that Brown is insane, and ought to be pardoned or shut up in a lunati¢” arylum; but when he was committing murder and robbery in Kansas, who ever heard the charge of insanity brought against him? It is only now that he is unsuccessful, and caughtia the perpetration of crime, that he is discovered to be mad, and an extraordinary attempt is made to excite sympathy in his behalf, and to elevate him to the rank of a martyr. We see evidences of like sympathy every day in the case of ordinary criminals. If a bold and im- pudent murder is committed in the streets of New ¥ork, there are plenty of people to ox- press pity for the poor creature whom the law justly condemns to death for shedding man's blood, and it is no wonder that Brown should find sympathisers also. The truth is that Old Brown led a ruffian’s life, and may have expected a ruffian’s death, There is nothing left for him now but to prepare to meet tht death on the gallows as best he may, The law, in his case, asin that of other mur- derers, claims its victim, and we see no good reason why its demands should not be satisfied. A Peremprory Requisition FRoM Virginta.— We have been looking out, for some time past, for requisitions upon the Governor of New York for the surrender to the Virginia authori- ties of Gerrit Smith, Wm. H. Seward, Horace Greeley, and others implicated in the move- ment which exploded prematurely at Harper's Ferry; but we had no idea that the first requi- sition in the matter would be directed, not to the Governor of the State of New York, but to the editor of the New York Heratp. Such, however, is the fact. We received yesterday an ominous looking document, enclosed in aa official envelope, stamped with the arms of the State of Virginia—an armed chevalier tramp- ling on the prostrate body of a discrowned monarch, and bearing the motto “Sic semper tyrannis.” The seal is that belonging to the office of the Auditor of Public Accounts. The requisition is in the following terms:— : Rucuuoxp, Va., Noy. 8, 1859. To 11m New York Heraw:— Sin—Instend of furnishing mo with the name of the aa- thor of the letter of the 20th ult, writien at Weaton, Va, on the subject of the Harpor’s Ferry insurrection, so talled, you have published my letter making the demand. naine of the audhor of the leier, "Yours, a ii J. M. BENNETT. The crime of the luckless individual whose name is thus peremptorily and officially de- manded from us is that he wrote an affecting letter to the editor of the Herany some weoks ago, imploring us to spare his feelings and the feelings of the Virginia people by saying not a word more about the Harper's Ferry foray, as they were all heartily ashamed of it. We appreciated the writer's feelings sufficiently to publish the letter, but not sufficiently to induce us to comply with his request. In*the course of some days thereafter we received a commu- nication on the subject from Mr. J. M. Bennett, who, we understand, is an official in the employ- ment of the State government, and, actuated by our love of fair play we gave publicity to it. But that does not satify this officious official, and the consequence is the issuing by him of this peremptory requisition upon us. What is to be done? Shall we be compelled to denounce the name of the sensitive Virginiam whose feelings led him into making this appeal to us? or shall we brave the consequences, re- fuse to obey thé'requisition, and thus save the unhappy offender from the ire of the indignant chivalry, led on by an officer in the Auditor’s (not the Ordnance) Department? It is a sori- ous question, and to gain time, if for no other reason, we are inclined to put in a demurrer, We therefore deny the jurisdiction of Mr. J. M. Bennett, of the Anditor’s Departmont, in affairs of State. Let Governor Wise send on a requisition in due form, and we will consider what degree of obedience we shall render to it. We await Governor Wise’s action in the pre- mises, and decline to obey the mandate of his subordinate. Send on the papers. RAvIFICATION OF THE TREATY wrtu Cuiwa.— We learn by the City of Baltimore that Mr. Ward had left Pekin without obtaining the ratification of the treaty during his residence there, the Chinese adhering to their old polioy of not transferring diplomatic negotiations to their capital. He went, however, to Pe-hoang, where the treaty was duly ratified, and our Minister returned to Hong Kong. This polioy may forma precedent for the action of the Chinese with the I'rench and British Ministers; and though they may force their entrance into Pekin, they may finally have to concede to Chinese diplomacy, and accept some other point as the seat of diplomatic intercourse. —_—_—__. Eastiy Exriarsep.—If the amiable editors of the New York Tribune, before adding any more to the score of denunciatory editorials it has already published against the Executive Com- mittee of the New York Democratic Vigilance Association, will take the trouble to look at their pamphlet upon the Harper's Ferry out- break, as published and circulated by their authority, they will find, on the tenth page, the following words:—“ Letters written by a Mr. Forbes, of this city, prove that republicans Senators of the United States, were made cogni- zant of the’invasion,” &c. By an error of the printer, it was published in the newspapers
