Duaz Sm—If you have read and critically examined ‘the work, you will probably agree with us that no course @argument so successfully controverting the practice of elavery iv the United States, and enforcing a precise and edeqnate view of its prostrativg effects, material and moral, has equalled that of the volume entitled ‘The Im- pending Crisis of the South : How tw Meet it,” by Hinton ‘Bowan Helper, of North Carolina, No other volume now before the public, a8 we conceive, ie, in all respects, 80 well calculated to induce in the ‘minde of its readers a decided and persistent repugnance ‘to slavery and a willingness to co-operate in the effort to restrain the shameless advances and hurtful influences of ‘that pernicious institution. ‘The extensive circulation of a copious compend of the ‘work in question among the intelligent, hiberty-loving vo. ters of the country, irrespective of party or locality, ‘would, wo believe, be productive of moat beneficial re sults; avd to this end we trust you will assist us in carry- fg out a plan we have devised for the gratuitous distri- ‘Ddution of one hundred thousand copies of such a com. pend, which, if contracted for and published, will contain @bout two bunared pages and be bound in pamphlet form. Ove hundred thousand copies of the contemplated com- pend. which, on about two hundred pages, would contain ‘very nearly all the roatter now embraced in the regular volume (which sells for one dollar per copy), cau be had, elt printed on good paper, for sixteen cents each—$16,000 im the aggregate. This amount we propose to raise in Buch sums as you and other good friends of a good cause feel cisposed to subscribe. In all cages, when convenient, contributors to the canee ‘wiil please make their subscriptions in the form of drafts, or certificates of deposit, payable to the order of the Hon’ Wm. H Apthon, 16 Excbauge place, New York city, our treasurer and disburser, who will regularly, through the eolamus of the Irwdune, acknowledge receipts of the same. Every person who subscribes ten dollars, or more, will, Mf timely application be made, be entitled to as many co. pies of the compend for distribution as he may desire, not exceeding the number that the amount of his subscription would pay for at net cost. Subecribers’ names, with the sums severally subseribed by them, in all cases where the amount is ten dollars or more, will appear, alphabetically arranged, in the latter part of the compeud. Correspondeuce or personal interviews in relation to this enterprise may be bad with any one of the under- pe megs who will be pleased to receive subscriptions in aid its speedy consummation. An early response from you is respectfully solicited. ‘Wm. H. Anthon, Treasurer, 16 Exchavge place, New York. 8 E. Sewail, Boston, Mass. Wm. Guauison,’Baltinor 8. Padleford, Providence. 1.

Hall, Mr. Helper {s a native of North Carolina, who, as the re- sult of careful ob:ervation and extensive inquiry, has reached the very obvious and just conclusion that human slavery is the great primary curse and peril of the Soath, tmpeding its progress in morals, intelligence, industry, and wealth. This conclusion, with the facts on which it ia founded, is embortid ia his book entitled ‘The impend- Crisis of the South”—a work everywhere received ‘and hailed by the advocates of free lavor, as one of the moet impregnable demonstrations of the justtice of their cauee and the vital importance of its triumph to our na- tional and general well-being. Were every citizen in pos- session of the tacts.embodied in this book, we feel conti- dent that slavery would soon peacefully pass away, while @ repubrican triuinph in 1860 would,be morally certain. It is believed that this testimony of a Soutbera man, born and reared under the influoace of slavery, will be more generally listened to and profoundly’ heeded, whether in the slave or in the freo States, than an equally able and ‘conclusive work written by a Northern man, And it is very derirable, therefore, that a cheap compond ef te contents, fitted for gratuitons circulation, be now ‘made and generally diffused io those States—Pennsylva- nia, New Jersey, Indiana and Illidois—which are to decide the next Presidential contest.

It is expected that the stupid and seqnacious masses, the white victims of 8 avery, will believe, and, as a gene- ral thing, tuey do believe, whatever the slaveholders teil them; and thus it isthat they aro cajoled into the notion that they ore the freest, happiest and most intelligent People in the world, and are taught to look with prejudice and deapprobation upon every new principle or progees: sive movement. Thus it is that tho South, wofully inert and invenvioniess, bas lagged behind the North, ant 13 now Weltering in ‘the cesspool of ignorance and degra RESULTA OF “THE SUM OF ALL VILLANTE While in Virgivia, very rently, an elderly slave holder, whose retigious walk and couversation had rs commended and promoted him to an eldership in the ‘Fresbyterian church, and who supports himsolf aid family by raising uegroos avd wbacco, told us that, for the last eight or ten yeara, aside trom the increase of his Duman chattels, be felt quite confident te had not clear- 2d 2 uch even ag one per ceat per annum on the amount of his investment.

Slaveholders, either from iguo: rauce or from # wilful disposition w propagate error, o tena that the South has nothing to be odd of that stavery bus proved a blessing to ner, aud that her supe- nority over the North in ap agricuitural pomt of view, moukes amends for ali her short-comiugs in other reapects Op the other hand, we contend that many years of con tinual Llushing and severe venance would not suffices to can- cel or annul the shame and that juatly attaches to the South in consequence of slavery—the direst evil that e’er betel the laad—that the South bears dothing tke ‘even a respectable approximation to the North in naviga- tion, commerce or inapofactures, and that, contrary to the opinion entertained by ninety-vive hundresths of her people, she is far bebind the free States jo the ooly thing of which she bas ever daredijo boasi—agpicnlbare, * * * It is possible that the rickety monster may make a bet- ter show on a new track; but if it makes a more riticu- lous display we sball not be surpris:d. A careful exami nation of its precedents has taught us the folly of expect ing anything good to issue from it in any manner what ever. It bas no disposition to emulate the maguanimity of its betiers, and as for a laudable umbition w excel, that is a characteristic altogether foreign to its nutare ‘Lapguor and inertia are the insalntary vianae upon which it delights to satiate its morbid appetite; and “from bad to worse” is the ill o1 motto under which, in all its feeble efforts and achievements, it ekes out 4 most miso- rable and deleterious existence. NORTHERN PRODUCTS IN SOUTHERN MARTS. The person whose curiosity ones bim to wke an ac- count of the immense piles of Northern lumber now lying on the wharves aud houseless lots in Baltimore, Riebmood aud other slaveholding cities, will not, we imagine, form a Yery flattering opinion of the’ products of Southern foroate Let it be remembered that nearly ali the co steam- ers apd small craft are built at the North; large car- goes of Eastern lumber are exported to foreign countries; ‘that nine-tenths of the wooden ware used in the Southern States is manufactured in New England; that, in outraye- ous disregard of the natural rights and claims of Southern mechanics, the markets of the South are forever filled with Northern furniture, vehicles, axo-hlves, walking canes, yard sticks clothes pins penboiders; that the extraordinary number of factories, steam engiaes, forges and machine in the free States require an extranr- dinary quantity of cord wood; that a large majority of the nt edifices and other structures, both private and public, in which timber in ite various forms is oxten sively used, are to be founc in the free States—we say, let ail these things be remembered, and the wruth will at once flash acroes the mind that the forests of the Nortb are a source of far greater income than those of the South. ‘The difference is simply this: At the North everything is turned to advantage. When a trev is cut down, the main body is sold or used for lumber, railog or paling, the stump for matches or shoepegs, the kuees for ship build- ing, and the branches for fuel. At the South everything is either neglected or mismanaged. ‘THR NORTH MUST SKIZE THE RICHES OF THE SOUTH. Nature has been kind to us in all things. The strata and substrata of the Sonth are profusely enriched with gold and silver, and precious stones, and from the nata- ral orifices and aqueducts in Vi flow the purest healing waters evail is all this latent wealth? Of what avai will it ever be, 80 long as slavery is permitted to play the dog in the manger? ‘To these queries there can be but one reply. Slavery must be throttled; tae South, so great aud 80 glorious by nature, must bo reclaimed from her infamy apd degradation; our cities, fields and forests, must be kept intact from the unsparing monster; the various and ample reeources of our vast domain, subterraneous as well ag superficial, must be developed, aud made to con- til a to our pleasures and to the necessities of tho world, REVOLUTION MUST FRER THE SLAVES. ‘The great revolutionary movement which was set on foot in Charlotte, Mecklenburg county, North Carohaa, on the 20th day of May, 1775, has not yet been terminated, nor will it be, until every lave in the United States is freed from the tyranny of his master. Every victim ot ‘the vile institution, whether white or black, mast be rein. ‘vested with the sacred rights and privileges of which he has been deprived by an inhuman oligarchy. What our noble sires or the revolution left unfinished it is our duty to complete. * . * * * * ‘To this principle the North has adhered with the strictest fidelity. How has it been with the South? Has she imi- tated the praiseworthy example of our illustrious ances- tors? No! She has treated it with the utmost contempt; she bas been extremely selfigh—eo selfish, indeed, that tho has robbed posterity of its natural, inalienable rights. From the period of the formation of the government towa to the present moment, ber policy bas been downright su- icida}, avd, 8 a matter of course, wholly indefensible. She has hugged a viper to her breast; her whole 8; has been paralyzed, ber conscience is seared, and,"stil holding in her embrace the cause of her shame and suffer- ing, she is becoming callous to every principle of justice avd magnavimity. Except among the non slaveholdera, who, beside being kept in the grossest ignorance, fig un- der the restraint of ail mauner of iniquitous laws, ism has almost ceased to exist within her, borders Aud here wo desire to be distinctly understood, we sball have occasion to refer to this matter in. We repeat, therefore, che substance of our averment, that, at this day, there is scarcely a grain of pure in the South, except among the non-slaveholders. THE NORTH TOO GCRUPULOU8—THE THEORY THAT JOHN BROWN ACTISED. PR. 5 ‘With regard to the upnational and demoralizing system of slavery, we believe the majority of Northern people are too scrupulous. They seem to think that it 1s enough for them to be mere freesoilers, to keep in check the diffosrve element of slavery, and to prevent it from cross- ing over the bounds within woich itis now regulates by municipal law. Remiss in their national duties, as we contend, they make no positive attack upon the institu- tions in the Southern States. * * * * * * * Did they not, in “‘the days that tried men’s souls” strike as bard blows to secure the independence of Georgia as they did in defending the liberties of Maseachusetts, and is it not notoriously true that the toryism of South Carolins prolonged the war two years at least? Is it not, moreover, equally true that the oligarchs of South Carotina have been unmitigated pests and bores to the general government ever since it was organized, and tbat the free and cot entions people of the North are virtually exciuded from her soil in conseqnence of slavery? It is a well known and incontestable fact that the Northern States furnished about two-t rirds of all the American troops engaged in the Revolutionary war; and, though they were neither more nor less brave or patriotic than their fellow soldiers of the South, yet, inasmucb:as the independence of our country was mainly secured by virtue of their numerical strength, we think they ought to consider it not only their right bat their duty to make a firm and decisive effort to save the States which they fought to free from failing under the yoke of n worse tyranuy than that which overshadowed them under the reign of King George the Thir1. Freemen of the North! we earnestly entreat you to think of these things. Hitherto, as mere free sollers, you have a proached but half way to the line of your duty; now, for your own eakes and for ours, and for the purpose of per- petuating this great Republic, which your fathers and our fathers founded iv septennial streams of blood, we ask you, in all seriousness, to organize yourselves as ‘ono man under the banners of liberty, and to aid us in exterminat- ing slavery, which is the only thing that militates against our complete aggrandizement as a nation. In this extra- ordinary crisis of affuirs,no man can be a true patriot without first becoming an abolitionist. ‘THE NON-SLAVEHOLDERS TO STRIKE POR TREASON, Non slaveholders of the South, farmers, mechanics and working men, we take this occasion to assure you that the slavehoiding politicians whom you have elected to offices of honor sna profit have hoodwinked you, trifled with you, and used you as mere tools for the consummation of their wicked Resigns: ‘ ‘ B» Now, as one of your own number, we appeal ‘to you to join us im our carnest and timely efforts to rescue the gencrous soll of the South from the usurped and desolating centrol of thee political vampires, Once and for ever, at least eo far as this coun- try is concerned, the infernal question of slavery must be disposed of ; a speedy and absolute abolishment of the whole system is the true policy of the South—and this is the policy which we propose to pureue. Will you aid us? wil! you agsist us? will you be freemen? or will you be slaves ? * * * * * Do not reserve the strength of your arms until you shail have been rendered powerless to strike; the present is the proper time for, action; under ail the circumstances, apathy or incitlerence is a crime. First ascertain, a8 nearly a8 you cap, the precise nature and extent of your duty, and then, without a moment’s delay, perform it in good faith To facilttate you in determining what conei- derations ef right, justice and humanity require at your hanes, is one of the primary objects of this work; and wo eball certainly fail in our desire if we do not accom- plish our task in manner acceptable toGod and advan- tageons to man. : REVOLUTION—FRACEKUILY IF WE CAN, VIOLENTLY IF WE must, Now, sirs, we ask you in all seriousness, 1s it not appa- rent that you have filchet from us nearly five times the amount of the assessed value of your slaves? Why, then, do you still clamor for more? 18 it your purpose to make the game perpetual? Think you that we will ever continue to bow at the wave of your wand, that wo will bring hu- manity into everlasting Gisgrace by licking the baud that smites us, and that with us there is no point beyond which forbearance ceases to bea virtuey Sirs, if these be your thoughts you are laboring under a most fatal delusion. You can goad us no further; you shall oppress us no longer; beretofore, earnestly but submissively, we have asked you to redress the more atrocious outrages which you have perpetrated against us; but what bas beon the invariable fate of oar petitions? With searcely a perusal, with a degree of contempt sbat added insult to iujary, you have jaid them on the table, and from thence they have been swept into the furnage of oblivion.

SPARRING EXHIBITION AT BOYM’S THEATRE—BENE- FIT OF 172Y LAZARUS-GREAT MUSTER OF THE “FANCY”—GRAND DISPLAY OF THE “MANLY ART OF SELF DEFENCE”—THE BENIOIA BOYS BENE- FIT—HI8 LAST APPRARANCE IN NEW YORK BE FORE LEAVING FOR ENGLAND TO FIGHT FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP, ETO. Last night Hoym’s theatre, in the Bowery, witnessed a gathering of #) fraternity, as well as of a large muster ers who profess to ocenpy a higher grade ip the social scale, The occasion of this untienar excitement among the “fancy” was a sparring exbi>i- tion given by the renowned veteran pugilist, Old Izzy Lazarve, who was formerly a resident of this city, al- though originally ‘‘raised”’ among the Ieraclitish denizens of the Eaet End of London, and has for the last few years been a citizen of Buffalo. His own encounters in the prize ring have been both numerous and well contested, ‘nd only on two occasions bas be suifered defeat, the last ‘one being by the celebrated ex-champion of the light weights, Owen Swift. Shortly after eight o'clock the evening’s procoodings commenced, although the house was by no means ao wet! filled as might have been anticipated. The wet, unfa- vorable evening doubtless exerted great influence upon producing this resnit, as it is seldom that eo good and large a list of first rate sparrers is presentod to the public notice as on this occasion. After two set tos between some minor stars had taken place, Morris Leo- pard and young Dutch Sam were introduced. The former has the advantage in height and weight, and is regarded a8 possessing superior sparring abilities; but the science and activity of his opponent enabled bim to gain a decid- ed advantage in the set-to, Sam is an astouisbingly quick and rapid hitter with both bands, and “gew away” well. They were successed by Johnny Morgan and Young Campbell; and in ‘this bout the former displayed a tho- rough knowledge of the art. His wrestling abilities are also excellent The finest set to of the evening was be. tween Harry Lazarus and Jack Bath. Lazaras is much tees in height and weight than Bath; but his superior skill and activity more than compensated for this. As a finish- ed eparrer Harry probably bas no superior, and very few equals, His blows are given with lightning rapidity, and he gets away in such a style as to pugzie and surprise his adversary. In the ig has been uniformly suc- cessful. The encounter between Young Johnson and Dep Kerrigan proved the superiority which a tho- rough Knowledge of the art gives over mero phy- sical advantages. Jobnson is a much bigger man than Kerrigan, but was a mere child in the hands ot his more ecienced opponent. The most amusing foa- ture of the evening’s sport, was the sot-to between the beneficiare (Izzy Lazarus) and Jem Mclaughlin. Both men belong emphatically to the class termed in the lan guage of the ring “heavy weights.” Izzy, although during bis Dagiistie career, only weighed 146 pounds, now turns the scale about 200 pounds more, while his antago nist is no chicken, being fully 250pounds. Both displayed astonisbing bottom, and for such derous men surpass ing activity. They wero loudly cheered, and retired after ding great amusement. after a ble affair be- tween two old veverans of the ring, old Bill Tovee and Young Gardner, in which the former “knocked spots”’ out of his more juvenile antagonist, the wind up of the proceedings took place. his set-to was between the two sons of the Falstafflan beneficiare, Harry and Jobnny Lazarus. It was a splendid display of the beauties of self defence, and it would be impossible to pronounce which had the best of it. They are both members of the ‘‘foathor weight” c ass, and cannot be surpassed in scientific skill and activity. On its termination thetr pater familias re turned his thanks to the company who had assembled to promote bis benefit, and the proceedings terminated in an orderly and peaceful manner, e Movement of the Tax Payers of the Seventh Councitimantc District. A body of gentlemen, some thirty ia number, calling themselves the Independent Tax Payers Association of the Seventh Councilmanic district, mot last evening to take into consideration the propriety of placing in nomina tion honest and reepectable men as Councilmen. Mr. L. Ward presided, avd Messrs. Walter Brady and E. S. Hoff man officiated as secretaries. Among the gentlemen pre sent were the following:— Twelfth ward—Mersrs. Roberta, Knapp and Brady. Twentieth ward—Messrs. Hooper, Cowenhoven, Mill- ward, Rosa, Kenong and General Wm. Hall. ‘Twenty-first ward—Messrs. Atterbury, Phelps, Wabb, Sherwood, James Brooks, Niles, Pinckney, Bodine, Hoff: man and White. ‘Twenty-second ward—Dr. Campbell, Ward, Lyon, J. Ridley and Rufus Crane. Litule or no important business was transacted by the meeting. The gentlemen indulged in very. virtuous and eloquent remarks on tho rascality of the Common Coua: cile of these latter days, and urged the necessity of action on the part of the taxpaying, upright and respectable cith zens of the district.

Recorder Barnarp then nominated the Vice Presidente of the meeting—upwards of 150 of the moat promwent men of tho party—anc the list was unanimously ap. proved. During the reading of the names, the Pivneer Havemeyer Club, of the Sixth ward, with a new silk bin per, marched in and were received with rousing cheers Hon, Buyan F.

During the reading of the resolutions the Fighth Ward Bayemeyer Club came in with an immense display of sparencies, which Were ranged along in tront of the jorm. The Preset announced that a large number of demo- crats were outside, unable to find stauding room in the bal, and called for volunteers to go out and address em. Marshal Ryxpers, who was on the platform, volunteered big services, and was passed out over thée-heads of the crowd. There were loud and persistent calls for ‘Brady! Brady !”’ but the Presipent said if the me ting would have ee they should hear Mr Brady in good time, but it ad been arranged that Hon. John Van Buren should first address them. €MR. VAN BUREN’S SPRHCT. Flon. Jou Van BOREN then took the platform, and was received with cheers. He spoke as foliows:— Mr. Chairman and fellow-citizeps—I congratulate you on this assemblage here to-night Itis a proud night for this ancient apd honored hall. It is proper on this occa- sion that we sbould look back for a moment to see what ig the history of this old building and the peoplo that in- habit it. Nearly a balfa century ago Tammauy Hall was founded. It bas been the headquarters of democratic po- litical aseociations from the date of its foundation till the present time. The scenes and struggles it has witnessed may well be recollected now. During the darkest period of the last war it stood by the pure Madison. In the great contest whicb followed, when Jackson led the democratic forces, and the bank was in the field, Tammany stood by Jackson and conducted bim safely through those struggles. The same may be said of great battle of the independent treasury, fought under his sui cessor, Tommany has stood by Poik; it stood by Pierc it stood by Buchanan—(cheers)—and from tho date of its foundation to the present time it hus stood with the democratic party, upheld the democratic banner, and coptributed largely, and mainly to democratic victories. And what may be said of its course in general politics may be said with equal truth of its action in municipal conteste. Mr. Van Buren then spoke of the support which Tammany bad ess, to distinguished Mayors, from Walter Bowne and Stephen Allen to Westervelt. They were assembled to-night to present the name of a gentle- man, not for the first nor even the second time, but to-night, for the third timo, Tammany Hall’ presents for’ Mayor the name Wiltiam F. Bavemeyer. (Three cheers for Havemeyer.) He would consider but briefly the claims of those asao- ciated with Mr. Havemeyer on the ticket. Mr. Tilden wos his intimate perronai friend, whom he had known from chiishood, and he was able to speak confidently of bis integrity and ability. Mr. McElroy had proved his cupacity for the office to be conferred upon him by the euceesetul disebarge of its duties during the Jast term. But the great and overruting question be said, #as in re- lation to tee chief magigtracy of the city, and in regard to him it was not “necessary to sound — his praise, as that had been done by those who are politically opposed to him. Hoe then read extracts (rom republican papers endorsing Mr. Havemeyer as an honest, efficient, experienced man, who would do honor to the cffice of Mayor, and taking the ground that municipal elections onght to be conducted without refe- rence to party polities Ithad been cbargea that Mr. Havemeyer dictated to the Convention, but this he knew to_be false. To everybody who approached him on the subject he bad but ove aaswer, namely, that he was nota candidate, did not desire the office, and asked as a favor that he should not be vominated. But the Conveotion did put bim in nomination, associating with him on the ticket candidates perfectly agreeable to bim, and he accepted it, (Applause.) One other charge he would notice—tor he knew no map better—that Mr. Havemeyer was a_uni form democrat. (Cheers.) He need not toll that in Tam- mony Hall, but thoge who oppoeed him, tncinding repu oli- caps and Mozart'Hal) men, charged him with having voted for Fremont. He was bimself a z-alous supporter of Buchavan, and he knew that Havemeyer voted and Breckinridge electoral _ ticket. Cheers.) These charges wore made by men who ind it more convenient to assail others than to defend themselves. It hardly ever happened that he addressed his Irish fellow citizens as Irishmen, because be regarded them all as Americans, no matter what may bave been the accident of birth, yet he bada word or two to say ip answer to the attempts to draw off the Irieh vote. Thev should bear in mind that an Irish- map or a descendant held at this momont the office of Sheriff of the city and county of New York, in thy per- son of John Kelly—(cheers)—that a descendant of an Wiehman holds the office of County Clerk, in the per- son of John Ciancy; that the three democra‘ic Sena- eet ae Teebine Rieburd Meleod ra kelly ; President vention is au Trichman, that Patrick MeFiray, oug of the three mei on the ticket, is au festa’, that beth the «flees of Mayor and Corporati (unset wore in the first ipetanwe fenced to an able an! etoquent Irish , Jae, T.

Mr. Van Bvres continued -He would be glat tosee any frieve of Wood here whe would keep quiet [it was not demo cratic pohiey to disturb Woow’s mectings If they would quarrel among themselves, the democrats could not belp it, wnd it uny of Wooa’s men came tere to disturb bim, be wou'd pet be answerable for the consequences to them. He would not discuss Wood’s private cha- racter; that had been fully examined in the courts of justice, and be hoped bis friends were satiated with the result. (Avother Wood man put out) He did not wish to emoarrase those who had supported Weod when regularly nominated, under the expectation that he would have sense enough to act honestly.

It was well known to those that nouinated Opdyke that be stauds n> earthly chauce of election, aud the nomination was oply inteade 1 to help Wood Those of the repudtican party who re- cognise the mmportance of having a goud Mayor will vote « Havemeyer; those who recogaise the importance of having @ bad Mayor will vot: for Wood, and all the rest for Opdyke. (Lacghter) Ha" avpealed to honest republicans whetber they would submit to be ured us tools for Fernaudo Wood's purposes The obpet of the tribune was perfectly transparent. It wae toelect Wood and not Ojdyke, who, ag is aid by the Times ond other papers, bas no earthly chance of elec- von. Ifthe repubiican party desire to have a distinct or- savization, no one objected to it, nor did any qne Ray that they should not put their own can tidates 2 nomination; but to act us they have done does sot show their strvagth bout their weakness. There was a word or two which he had to say of the republican party. They, or those acing with them, declare that the constitation is w» league with death and hell, and many of the leading republicans eay that there is a bigher !aw than the conttitution, They declare that there ig an irrepres- sible conflict which must go on until it results ia the es- tablisbment of siavery in New York or its abolition throughort the entire Union, They countenance all those denunciations of slavery aud the South, and all thoze vio- lent proceedmpe which bave eveat-ally matdened some of their pumber and driven others to commit, great crime. And here he would say a few wor. of Jobo Brown. Thia man, believing all these things, goes to Virginia, organizes a baud of ruthless men, Feizes upon the United tates Armory at Harper's Ferry, puts arms into the bands of bis followers, aud takes the lives of several citizens. Jobn Brown is arrested, tried and convicted. And pow what is the course of the ri geae tobim? Do they denounce him and bis act am glad to say but most ef them contrary, ‘they call your attention to his sefen xe—to the haste with which be was trieo—the heroism with which be bore the trial, and ridicule Governor Wise for the cantiga he bas evinced to prevent the rescue of John Brown. Now, if P bdlic attention is directr¢ to al! this, and in the first place to the conduct of Governor Wice, he (Mr. Van Bu- ren) would be permited to say that the Gov ernor —huq taken upnecessary precautions, Gov- ervor Wisc has never bai the imputation of want ot courage laid upon him, and it would not be half so strange if ap effort or atempt should be mute t rescue WD, as it was that the attempt. which that man made shonid evor have taken place. Such an event as an at- tempt at reeene, inared, would not be extrayrdinary, He woule not, although he was there to express his indi- vidual opinion, ay one word that could shorten the life of the -tohappy Brawn; bat yet he could not help saying that Brown been evgaged in the crime of murder. That he went to Virginia as a spy, see ing to excite the passions of a bru- ta} and ignorant population, to arouse their ire, and to arm tbem for the shedding of blood, wus beyond all doubt Under thore circumstances it’ was not strange that the weakness of the popniation of Virginia should be exposed—not tbe weakness of the men, but of the wemen and children Shrrounded as they were by a po- Pulation Tiuble to be excited to derds of murder and rapiuo on occasious tike those be had spoken of, it was no won- der that they should be uneasy, avd that they should take Precautions to prevent the repetition of the crime. It must be remembered that these men have women and children to protect; that the woman surrounded by a slave population retires to bed uncertain whether sbe sball arise to peace or to encounter the murderer and the in. crndiary; while the father an1 the brother koows not how soon bis property might be destroyed by a conflagra tion. Bot the republicans say why, do not the people feel safe? Why ail this unnecessary alarm? And exultingly they cry, “How weak they are!’ But those Virgia- jans are no weaker now than when their fathers went through the dark and bloody times of the Revolution—no weaker than when they were going throngh the gloomy etages of that terrible contest. The lives, and fortune and sacred bonor which were now in jeopardy were parallel with the lives and fortunes and eacred honors of those who perilled their all in the revolution. And yet, all this seems to be for- gotten. When he heard of the correspon tence of those who sympathized with Brown, he could not help being reminded of a similar case, in which some correspond- ence and a spy were seized and taken before old General Putnam. “If,” said the General, “he man has been taken as spy,’ tried as a epy, and corvicted as a spy, then let him be executed asaspy. He (Mr. Van Buren) could not see how such a prisoner could ‘be kept in the midst of euch a population. Re considered that these attempts to endanger the lives of women and children were most unkind and ungene- Havemeyer voted iy ther row fol- dividual was rous, and if they were not stopped there was nothing to result them but the dissolu- tion of the confederacy. He then spoke of the bitter Seating, Os would be engendered against a foreign enomy where he to wage war by arousing the hos- tilities of one portion of the population of a State for his own benefit, and yet when this was done by Americans, there were those to look on and applaud. He then pro- ceeded to eulogise Virginia in the most cloquent strain. Why was this war made upon her? Was it because she gave men who signed tho Declaration of Independence? Was it because she gave tbe man who led us through the terrible days of the Ro- volution, and through the diffi sulties of the two first terms of the Presidency? Was it because she had produced euch orators as Patrick Heary and Henry Clay, and such statesmen and warriors as rrison, Taylor and Scott? He then feelingly alluded to the ingratitude of in striking this blow at Virgwia, when owes her free soil to a distinguisbed Virginian. The rest of this genteman’s speech was eulogistic of the democratic party, and ho eloquently ox- horted them to stand firm by Havemeyer, aad to make the old Wigwam ring with tbe shouts of victory when the election shall be over, 80 that the South and the North ebali know that a verdict irfavor of the union of the con- federacy has been pronounced. (Immense cheering. ) Mr. Jas. T Brapy was the next speaker. He began by pom ng egret ptin and democrats, and alluded to the fact that he had greatly improved in the estimation of the public, and especially of the ladies, since the Hrratp— which’ was well known for its correctedness and popu- larity—bad published his namo among the rich dem>- crats. He did for John Brown, there in Tammany Hall, what po republican had dared to do for him in the Re. publican Hall, and itmet the approbation of such men ag he saw around him. (Cheers.) And for that an for some- thing else which transpired in that brief tiscourse, the Bowing Post dectared that he was a pious rich man. (Langhter.) He confessed that his claim to that character Tested upon capital even Jess than that he with, respect to his reputation for wealth. (Cheers and laughter.) It might be that the poet of the Post wanted to construct an Enciad, and wanted for that pur, to select him as the pious Eueas of their son, ¢ wors avd laughter ) Then, again, the Tribune had taken him in especial charge, bad folded its arms aroand him and shed tears over him, under the impression that the democracy had failed to reoognise his merits and bad thrust him aside from the high office which be was so well qualified to fill, and like a cruel foster mother had chosen some less qualified Fereon. He was much obliged to those journals for their favorable mention of him, but he wished it to be known that he laid no claim to the of those things, qualities, and virtues whic been attributed to bim.’ Ho also wished it to be fully known that he never corired to be nominate for any office in tho com ing election. His hope wag, to be allowed to remain in that private ca} ‘of life to which tastes endowed him, the morc go as be was not vain enough to imagine that he could be of any important service to the country. As to the office of Corporation Counsel, he did not desi or wish tonecapt it.

THE DEMONSTRATION OUTSIDE. The proceedings outside were not of th: moat orderly cbaracter. An organization was eff-cted, and Marshal Rynders made a speech, in fact several speeches, which were interspersed, however, with distasteful hurrahs for “F’pandy Wood,” cheers, bisses, groans and outcries of every sort. The disorderly elements which had been ejected from the wigwam seemed to thrive all the more in the streets, ano but for the rain falling and the presence of the police there would probably have been a suriwas Street fight. Several gentlemen were called upon for speeches, but delivered themselves quite curtly when a semblance of order was obtained. Duriug the evening there was a procession of 4 about a dozen in number, drawn by from four to eight horses apiece, and each carrying @ huge transparency with various mottoes and devices, The procession was beaded by a band of music, and accompanied by a crowd of men and boys cheermg for Havemey er. Police Intelligence. Ficet AND StrappinG at 4 Dayce.—A serious disturb- ance occurred at a dance given at No, 405 Madison street, on Thursday night. During the disturbance one of tho belligerents drew a knife, and after using it freely upon the person of a man named John Brannan, made his escape from the room. The Seventh precinc police ar- rested a man named Finlay on suspicion of having been implicated in the assault, but he was subsequently ais- charged for want of evidence. The wounded mao was attended by Dr. Weils, and taken to bis piace of residence No. 806 Delancy strect. Upon examination it was found that the knife bad penetrated the abdomen of the injured man, inflicting @ dange-ous gash, from the eatrails pro- truded several incbes. The doctor gave it as his opi- nion that Brannan would hacdly survive his injuries, and advised the police to use all diligent search for the assail- ant. Yesterday Coroner Jackman held an ante-mortem examination in the case of the injured man, bat no new facts were developed. ANOTHER StaBniNG AFFRAY.—Henry Larkin, an Irish laborer, was brought before Justice Kelly, at the Jefferson Market Folice Court, on a charge of felonious assault and battery.
