ssween years of age, was found by Capt. Bryant, on the NTINUED FROM FIRST PAGE) mics cc ena a cell in the station house. A boy about twelve years of ago, giving his name as Peter Gass, ‘was found in the vicinity of the Twelfth district poll, cor- ‘ner of avenue B and Fourth street, with a slung shot in his posscasion, and was arrested. Ho was charged with striking several persons, Om being taken to the station house, he denied, however, the chargo of having used the weapon, and claimed that he only had it for the purpose ‘of protecting himself against attack by rowdies. Captain Hartt gave him a severe reprimand, and then let him go, minus bis defensive weapon. In the Eighth district a diMoulty occurred between Bernard Costello, a butche' ,, end another man, during which Costello received ® PY etry severe handling. As the butcher seemed to be the -worgt aman of the two, and the, aggressor in the cass, he was ordered to keep away from the polls, which fedid. A refreshing instance of Hibernian simplicity ocourred in the vicinity of the Fifth poll. A new'ly arrived Irishman asked a Celtic friend—who showed himself to be well posted on the. subject of New York rum, if not as Samiliar as he might have been regarding New York imstitutions—'And gure enough,” asked thefreah look. ‘mg Irishman of the Geltic friend, ‘what are all the folks out?” “Garo, they are running for Wood,” said ‘the one addressed, looking profoundly wise. ‘Running for Wood!” exclaimed the verdant Celt; ‘‘and have the spalpeens nothing better to do? .And where the divil is ‘this Wood?” ‘Blazing away at the democratic head- ‘qmarters,” responded the wiser Hibernian. “I hope ‘this Wood won’t be burned intirely; I'll sind the ould ‘woman and childer, for they are better able to run for ‘wood than Ibe.” As the hour arrived for clesing the polls come riotous demonstrations were made in a few ef the districts. The only damage done, however, was @emolishing some of the booths, and afferding an abun- @eateupply of kindling wood to the poor people of the weighborhood. A special police force was kept in reservo all day at the station house, to meet the exigency of any ‘wnexpected riot, but their services were not called into requisition, Altogether this ward has not seen a more quiet election day for several years. BIGHTEENTH WARD, During the morning there was little or no excitement throughout the ward. Towards noon considerable life was manifested, and a few fights were got up on principle alone in the First avenue. About two o’clock an old man aamed Sullivan was knocked down at the district polls corner of Seventeenth street and First avenue by a prize ‘fighior named Kelly. He was boat so bad that he had to ‘be conveyed to the Bellevue Hospital. Two men, named ‘Stephens and Archer, got into a fight on the Second ave- smue. They were both arrested and conveyed before Justice Kelly, who fined them each $5. At the Eighth -dietrict two rowdics got into a desperate fight, when off. eer Arrison promptly went in Yo separate them, when he reeeived a severe beating at the hands of the fighters’ frends, receiving two black eyes. The officer, however, atuok to his duty, and finally, with assistance, succeeded im disporsing the rioters. There were no arrests for ille gal-voting, but two or three attempts were made and the parties prevented. SINEVEENTH WARD. Every district poll in this ward opened with little or no excitement, and clesed in about the same way. The Re- gitry law caused five hundred and eighty-five affidavits to.bo made. Liquor was sold everywhere, and in ore particular locality at a house not over two hundred feet ffcom the poll. The Firat district poll opened with a little igpute between two of the inspectors, but no other dis- ‘turbance ot consequence occurred during the rest of the ‘day. in the Second distriet not one arrest was made for ‘any crime whatever, although there were about 500 persons around thie poll during the afternoon. During the after- moon the Third district poll was densely crowded, aud ‘the dranken men outside kept up a continual scene of ex- citement by fighting, “punching” and “crowding” each other wherever they found it most convenient. But one arrest was made, and that was Matthew H. Moore, who was arrested for creating a disturbance. Quite a Alistressing scene was created by an old lady, who was trying to get home her drunken son. ‘William Henry, a colored boy, about seventeen years of age, was arrested in the Fourth district for fighting in the street. The Fith district was completely surrounded by drunken men, Mr. and Mrs. Haley and their son, Daniel—father, mother a4 son—created a disturbance here, but were not arrested. A man, named Timothy Harrington, got into a fight with some boys, but was not arrested. Charles Duffoy, a boy about eighteen or nine- ~~ of Forty-second street and Third avenue, with a om “7 ‘ia head, He was so drunk that he was seyseatcpe ~here ho received it. The officer unable to tell how or w : heard he was beaten on the “00? Of Thirty-sesond street and First avenue, but was unai 4 £nd out who See ed on duty until late 1D @ye evening, when they wore dis- miesed. ‘Ten thor 4 roweds of Minnie ball cartridge Were sent t0 the 8” equa), ad a portion of this distributed to the troops on guty, Col. Lefferts, the accomplished and efficlent comt gn gunt of the National Guard, made the ar- senal ‘his woadquarters during the day, and was Present in propria persona from seven o'clock 4M saut the troops were dismissed. The other com- PaD' og of the Seventh, not mentioned above, were at their 7° gpective armories in Lafayette Hall, Broadway; Univer- sity place, corner of Thirteenth street, and also in Seventh ‘street. Col. Lefferts was attended by his regimental com- missioned and non-commissioned staf, who stood in readiness to convey the orders of their superior officer, should an exigency arise. It was s0 judiciously arranged that with the aid of the police telegraph six hundred men could have been assembled at any given point in balf an hour. In addition tothe regimental orders al) ready noticed, the soldiers were instructed, on their dis. ‘misaal from duty, to at once repair to their residences and divest themselves of their military garb, 80 as to prevent any unnecessary excitement. A portion of the Eighth regiment held themselves in readiness, and wore stationed at the lower arsenal, cor- ner of White and Elm streets, during the day. POLICE HEADQUARTERS. ‘Things were unusually quiet at the headquarters of the Metropolitan Police throughout tlie day. Superinten- dent Pilsbury made extensive arrangements to suppress any riotous demonstrations, A large number of the Brooklyn force in attendance, some of whom ro- mained in Broome street till a late hour last evening, having spent the day in speculations upon the result of ) the Mayoralty contest. An omnibus was provided for the speedy conveyance of officers should their services be re- quired, but it was not called into requisition. The tele- graphic operators had not much more business to attend to than usual, save answering inquiries respecting lost cbildren. ARRESTS FOR ILLEGAL VOTING. A party of rowdies got intoa fight among themselves near the poll held on the corner of Ninth avenue and Six, teenth street, during which Mr. C. C. ©. Dennison was struck several times upon the head with aghammer, and very dangerously injured. A squad of the Sixteenth pre- cinct police rushed into the crowd and arrested a man damed Rody Rinn, who is alleged to have been the assail- ant. Mr. Dennison, who is a respectable man, was con” ‘veyed to his residence in Ninth avenue, near Seventeenth street, and Rinn was brought before Justice Kelly, who Jocked him up. It is said that others besides Rinn struck Mr. D., but none of them have been arrested. & Miles Sweeny, alleged to be a resident of Brooklyn, was arrested, charged with attempting to vote at the polls of the Ninth district of the Fourteenth ward, and Charles Connolly, a youth of nineteen years, was arrested for a similar act at the same poll. Charles Harrison and Daniel Wickes were arrested for attempt at illegal voting at the Eleventh district of the Seventh ward. James H. Hutchinson, Wm. H. Buckland and John Riley were also arrested, charged with attempting to vote iMegally at different poll districts. They were all detained to await examination. Tt was reported last evening, that one of the Inspectors of Election in the Fourteenth ward, bad been arrested for “gtuffing” the ballot boxes ynder his charge. His name ‘was not ascertained. ‘Thos. H. Broderick, a liquor dealer in the Seventh ward, was arrested, charged with keeping his shop open and selling liquor, contrary to law. Justice Steers held him to bail in $300 to answer. THE HEADQUARTERS. Night Scenes at the Three Political Head- quarters—What was Seen by Gaslight. SCENES AT MOZART HALL. Doug .EXCITEMENT AS THE RETURNS CAME IN. ABRIVAL OF THE MAYOR ELECT—HIS SPRECH TO UE, ETC. The eutbush "sm and excitement which prevailed at the headquarters of the Mozart democracy were of the most tremendous chara “ter. Immediately after the closing of the polls the utmost anxiety began to bo manifested to hear the resvfit of the Contest, and thousands of persons started for Mozart Hah’ from syery department of the city. The large basement hall in \¥hich the meetings of the democrats are generally held—a“d which is large enongh to accommodate several thousand’ ereons—was goon filled to repletion. There was but vo: feeling manifested by the crowd, even before a sin,” Fe turn had been bropght in, and that was that Fernan.? ‘Wood had cleared the course, despite of every obstruc- tion. Groans were repeatedly given for the old harlot inan¥ Irishmen—his country men—had reccived $104 piece mighty strugg’e—for the struggle was as great as the vjo- tory is tremendous, (immense applause), F mando Wood has stood manfully, solely and alone, relying eu- tion of the democratic party of “Wew York to prove that ho is the mam of tatrchoioe, (Appplause.) Bat even if in the fortune of war it should be found that his opponents had gone ahead of him—though this was ecarcely possible—let not the democrata despair, but rather Yet them take frosh courage, for thelr bauners can never fall to the ground. If it sinks it can only bo for a. ‘fume, like the immortal flag of our revolutionary fathers, which sunk only to rise more gloriously afterwards. Mr. ‘Wood went into this contest on thé of popular freedom. It is his wieh, as it will be his purpose, to secure to every citizen of New York the fullest exercise of civil and |religious liberty. ‘That was the platform on which he was nominated, and on which he etands, (Great cheering.) The returns of the Ninth ward here came in, showing 2,840 for Opdyke, 2,122 for Haveymeyer and 1,443 for | Wood. The result, though unfavorable, was received ‘with loud cheers. ‘The returns from the Sixteenth, Twenty-first and Tenth |warde were then successively hrought in, and found to ‘Predominate in favor of Wood, After the cheering which succeeded these statements {had subsided, ‘Mr. Grover continued to charge ‘Tammany with treason ‘and treachery, inasmuch as any one who sought to cxer- ise the franchise freely could not do so within her cor- ‘rapt walls. (Cries of “Hats off.””) Tammany called upon men either to vote for Havemeyer or lose their places— ‘ (shame) —to sacrifice their manhood and their spirit, and to put in peril the bread and butter which they were the means of supplying to their wives and children, if they ‘would not obey the corrupt demands of this ‘degraded po" litics! organization. (Loud applause.) But ho thanked God that that very day John Clancy—tho man who led the Dead Rabbite—was challenged at the poll ‘and driven back like a dog for attempting to vote illegally. (Enthusiastic cheers.) It was high time for tbe people to understand whether they were voting for a democratic republican or for a black republican government. Tho manufacturing and commercial interests of the country were greatly concerned in this, and it was for them to give their aid in overthrowing the long existing corrup- tions of Tammany Hall. If ever there was a man who had escaped out of the slime and pollution of Tammany, that man was Fernando Wood. (Great applause.) A Vorx—Wood must be the next President of the United States. Cheers.) The returns of the Fifth ward were here announced. ‘The Caarnmay said that although John A. Kennedy, and his brother William D. Kennedy—the father of the sachems of old corrupt Tammany—had been active workers in this ward against Fernando Wood, there was a majority of 128 for him. (Received with shouts and yells.) ‘Mr. Gmver was then introduced, and reported the re- sults of the Fifteenth ward, premising with a few ro- marks to the purpose, This ward showed 1,463 for Have- meyer, 1,246 for Opdyke, and 743 for Wood. When Tammany nominated Mr. Wood he did not poll 600 votes in this ward, and now he has received 743. (Cheers). ‘Mr. Grovun again tock the stand, and strongly invelgh- ed against the fanatics who would enforce the Sunday laws. Major Heswmssy was then introduced. He said that although he was a grey haired member of the demo- mocracy, he held in his hand the stick with which he had nominated Fernando Wood that morning. (He here showed a ponderous shillelah, tied to his wrist, which he flourished in an artistic manner, to the delight of the enthusiastic crowd.) He saw that old thief, Clan- cy, hanging around the polls in the Sixth ward. Clancy said, “Holloa, old fellow!” but ho replied—“ Get out, you dirty, mean, skulking old rat! Iam glad to see you have some respect for that old gray coat which you have on, and which you wore when first I put you into office.”’ (Roars of laughter.) The fellows in the Sixth ward werea beggerly set, but they could not stand before him. As soon as he showed fight they ran from before him like sheep. And there was that murderin’ thief, John Clancy, with his paper, which 1 would not —— (here Mr. Hennessy made use of an unreportable and by no means delicate expression, which certainly “brought down the house.””) The Major got very excited as he went on with his speoch, and was particularly severe on the renegades of the Sixth Ward. “But,” said he, I will pay off the damned sons of bitches for this. I have some influence in the Fourth and the Fourteenth, and other wards, and I tell you, my democratic friends, that none of those rascals shall ever be elected to any ofice in this city, and as for Jobn Clancy, ho will haye to fall back upon the old gray coat altogether before long, (Laughter and cheers.)

TWENfY-FIRST WARD, ‘Tho election in this ward passed off with remarkable quietacss. There was no row, and no attempt at a row at aby of the cleven polling places inthe ward. Only one ‘arrest was made during the day, that of Patrick Donnelly, for disorderly conduct and a too careless use of firearms, jm the vicinity of the Second district polls. He fired off one barrel of a pistol in the air, and when arrested the other barrel was found to be loaded witha ball He was committed. The vote of the ward was larger than at the November election, notwithstanding the rain had the ngual effect of deterring many of the more aristocratic ‘voters, of all parties, from going to the polls. The larger part of the vote was cast before one o'clock. A largo police force was in attendance at all the polls, bat their rervices wero not called into requisition. The order for | mense pressure which weighed upon it, precipitating a closing the liquor shops was not very strictly observed; wevertheless there was little drunkenness to be seen up to the time of closing the polls. TWENTY-SECOND WARD. The election in this ward was conducted equally as pro- perly and orderly as inthe Twentieth. There were no at- tempts made at illegal voting, and about the only dis- turbance that occurred in this ward, throughout the whole day, was the throwing over of the Wood boxes in the Third district, by Pele Matteton's followers, early in ‘Whe morning. The vote throughout the day was very elec. THE MILITARY PREPARATIONS. ‘ As noticed in yesterday's edition, the National Guard, ‘\@olone! Lefferts, were ordered to hold themselves in readi- to protect the public property atthe new Arsenal, , if their services were required, to quell any riotous demonstrations. The ordors were promptly responded to, which is evidence that when rowdyism goes beyond a cer- tain point, our military—young, intelligent and brave— stand ready to protect life and property. The following is ‘a copy of Colonel Lefferts? order to Captain Price, of the National Guard:— SPECIAL ORDER, NO. 29. New Yor«x, Dec. 29, 1859. To Cartan James Prick:— In compliance with division and brigade orders of this date, you are directed to order your command to as: semble at the arsenal, corner of Seventh avenue and ‘Thirty -fifth street, on Tuesday morning, the 6th instant, at feven o'clock A. M., fully armed and equipped ee overcoats aud full uniform caps), for the purpose of pro- tecting the public property. You will only allow such persons to enter the building 8 may there be cmployed, and such as the Commissary General or other competent authority may direct. To prevent any necessity for you or your men from pe out for refgeshments, they will be furnished in building. Ae You will make disposition of your force on guard ‘as you may deem necessary for thé purpose herein men- Noned, and will remain on duty until relieved by my orders. No liquors of any kind will be allowed in the building. Ammunition will be furnished your command on Tues- day morning. Gapt. Price's command was promptly at the arsenal at sixo’olock A. M., with ninety muskste, He posted his -veral districts of the {Seventeenth ward, showing a ma- jority of 656 for Wood. The cheering and enthusiasm that followed this announcement were intense beyond de- scription. The crowd cheered until they were positively hoarse. ‘The Caarraan sald the returns from all the districts but one of the Fourteenth ward would now be read. A Voice—I guess old Mozart will make music to-night. (Cheors.) Axotaer Vorce—Where is the old devil Tammany? Can anybody tell? (Cheers and roars of laughter.) ‘The returns from the districts of the Fourteenth ward showed 440 majority for Wood. This announcement was the signal for another tremendous outburst of applause, in the midst of which the platform gave way under the it number of persons, but without doing injury to any one. The broken platform was soon repaired, and al! handg were soon on deck again. ‘The Eighteenth ward showed, at least the returns from euch districts as were received, 1,800 majorityfor Wood. The crowd by this time had become go great that these, wag not one single spot in the whole lower building rgoc- Gupied. The doorways were jammed with people anxtour , to get{admission, and long strings of excited men wor 4 yet in thestreet, vainly endeavoring toforce a way throw gy the solid mass of human flesh. As the numbers swelle’ 1 tg larger proportions, so did the onthusiasm increase. Fats ‘were waved, handkerchiefs extemporized into flag a, and every means of letting off excitement adopted. gach a tremendous time has indeed never been seen is, yfozart Hall. “Three cheers for the champion of municipal rights” were given and respondedfio with lung of stento- rian power. ‘‘Now wearesuroof the Unio’ 4.” said one man, ¢s loud ag he could scream, and in T& jponse Gover- vor Maloney said, ‘Thanks to the Heratp and our Irish friends. Without these, sir, we C9 ald have done nothing!” Then followed cheers withov .t number. The Chairman had the greatest dif iculty to preserve order, and it was not without many efforts that the re- turns could be read in a voice loud enough to be audible, 20 complete was the confusion and nthusiasm that pre- yailed. The platform, which was a temporary constrnc- tion, broke down four or five times, but as often was it propped up again, and nothing apparently could dampen the ardor of the people. Eventually the Chairman introduced Mr. Grown, who addressed the meeting. He said he ‘wes just returned from the conflict—fresh from the field of battle; he came to know from the mon of Mozart Hall how the champion of municipal rights had given conf- dence, and how well the Mozart democracy had reposed their confidence in such a man. (Cheors.) He trusted ‘that the only National democrat whom they had nomi- nated for the office of Mayor had received the suffrage of the democratic party of the city of New York. (Cheers.) He was certain that those vocifereus cheers which he heard resounding on all sides, was good evidence that there had been union in the common cause that day, and that the guards at proper points, and kept his reserve in readiness | man who would maintain the union of these great States for any emergency. gpread, and the company, with the exception of those required for guard duty, sat down toa very substantial breakfast, which they ate with great gusto and in a happy mood. After breakfas, the men distributed into knots of five and six, and whiled away the time as best they could, ready withal to start when ever their services might be required. This Capt. Price’s command w the Second company, Nu op portunity was not given them, and atone o'clock P.M. relioved by Capt. Stvter, i Gaard. The later, ren At half-past seven a table was | inviolable, had met with the warm and generous support of his Union-loving fellow citizens. (Great applause.) This has been no common contest—not by any means. It was a contest not alone against the different candidates, but a contest against the tyranny, the treason and the treachery of the old viper, Tam many Hall—(immense cheering)—a contest against at the Ivy Green, and that many of them had taken an path to sup720rt Havemeyer. He was sorry for this, but he would not De worth his name if he did not bring ven- gecnce upon every ue of the bloody sons of bitches, (Great noise and cortfusion. ) and the result was received with tremendous applause.

Ex -Judgo Dean made ‘some remarks, which could Scar cely be heard. Among-other things, he said that the Tes alt of this victory would hang allthe John Browns tb at the republican party can scare up. (Applause.) ‘The proceedings of the meeting after this were doubly exciting, the report having been given that the Mayor elect, who was at his hotel, was about to pay them‘a visit at the headquarters.

Before seven o'clock last evening Tammr.qy Hall was lighted up, and immediately the stairway qns besieged by @ crewd of persons, who cheered for Fernando Wood more than for Hayemeyer. The doors of the hall were locked, however, and the crowd was loud in its com- plaints. “False pretences !”’ shouted one. ‘ They had no busi- ness to light up the hall until the doors were open.”? “TJ motion, jintlemin,” shouted a Celt at the top of the stairs, ‘that we smash down the dure!” (Cheers for ‘Wood—groans for Updyke.) “Tammany Hail is whipped !” shouted another. “(Fernandy Wud is elected !” cried a third. ‘The crowd was kept waiting afull hour. “ Havemeyer ‘Will address the audience in a few minutes,” was the an- nouncement. (Cries of ‘‘Havemeyer is played out!” ‘hisses, groans, and applause.) A female servant appeared at the upperr railing, lamp in hand, who looked @own upon the multi- tude with a look of great curiosity. This was the signal for a general shout. “Three cheers for Bridget,” cried an Irishman; and the three cheers were given with a will. ‘Bridget forever!” At Jast the door was opened, and there was a wild rush for the hall; but the prominent politicians of Tammany ‘were nowhere t) be seen. ‘Where is Rynders?” ‘Where is Fowler?” ‘‘Whero is present, except perhaps Mr. Wood. On the table was'an estimate of the vote, a comparison of which with the rumors and statements from detached districts engaged the persons present. The ‘‘estimate” az te the Mozart Hall vote was somewhat short of what has proved to be the actual result, but in detail it indicated a striking accu- racy. The returns from the Fourth ward were among the first received. The sweeping majority there, in view of the solid phalanx which # presented last year for Mr- Purser, was received as conclusive evidence that the city bad gone for Mr. Wood. Other returns from the lower wards came in showing a Ie result, and much interest was manifested for the vote of the Sixth and Fourteenth wards, The latter was first received,and the six hundred majority was commented upon. It was remarked that the defeat of Purser for Comptroller could no longer be Cochrane?” “Where is Havemeyer?” was heard onevery ide. Gen. Storms was elected President, and some one chosen for Seeretary, who either had no name or was ashamed to have it given tloud. ‘The people below rushed in, and ag many as could crowded upon the stand, but at no time during the even- ing was the hall full. ‘The Preeidint read the returns from the Firat ward, which gave Wood a majority of about three hundred. (Cheers for Wood.) He also read the returns received from the Thiri and Fourth wards, also favorable to Wood, and there waga perfect storm of applause for “the work- ingman’s frietd—Fernando Wood.” The Presidevt, after a long pausg read the retarns from looked upon as having reference to him personally. The defeat now was a rout of all the Tammany leaders in a body. While Mayor Wood informally presided, Mr. Ben Wood acted informally as secretary, and figured up the returne. A number of politicians and others, having large bets on the result, discussed the prospect. The show for Havemeyer in the up town wards, and the unexpected falling off in the republican vote for Opdyke, excited some apprehension of a stampede in those districts for Havemeyer. Messengers were deepatched for the returns of the Sixth, Seventeonth and Eleventh wards, as if to counteract the discourag- ing accounts from the republican sections of the city. ‘The rumor that the Sixth had given six hundred majority for Havemeyer, made part of the progressing table for some time, and it was not until the real and diminished majority in the Sixth was known, that Jadge Brennan’s controjling influence and exertions during the day were spoken of without bitterness. The majorities in the Eleventh, Seventeenth, Elghteeoth, Nineteenth, Twelfth, and more particularly in Mr. Wood’s ward, the Twenty- second, were received in quick succession, and gave a principle which advocates the ostracism of all good men | agsurance of a triumph which made all assembled » | from pubtie offices to fill them with men w! manifest their ~— feelings = in-—sthe _iyeliest for pationai@eling, national principles, nor the welfa mamer, Fernando Wood alone excepted.

And in thie maintained his accustomed placid appearance, aud gcra the Fourth—Wood, 1,464; Havemeyer, 513; Opdyke, 262."” Cries of “Belly for Wood!” “Hurrah for the working man’s friend!” and three lusty cheers for the succeasfal candidate. ‘There was aj this stage of the proceedings a good deal of confusion ar@ a long pause. The Chairman expressed regrets that tle returns came in no faster, but maid as long as they din’t, he was not responsible, and hoped tho audience would keep quiet. ‘Voios—How sbout John Brown? The Ninth Yard returns wore at length read, and the reading was pllowed by cries of “Wood, Wood.” “Where's in Rynders?” ‘How about Harper's Ferry?” &c., fc.

Fry, Daniel D, Conover, and other prominent Yepublicans, at this juncture entered the room, and were called upon to speak, but sensibly declined, though they did not seem to be very much afflicted at the issue of the election. The proceedings were becoming emphatically flat, when an ambitious youth stood up ona bench and ‘began making gesticulations as if he desired to say some- thing. Silence immediately followed, and the speaker, ‘who gave his name as Ambrose L, somebody, proceeded to sail into the republican party for its treachery, and to land William H. Seward who was certain to be the next President of the United States. At the conclusion of this speech another juvenile orator, named John Francis Tucker, was introduced, and spoke somewhat in the same strain as his predecessor, glorying in the election of Wood and the defeat of Havemeyer. If ‘the latter was elected, he saidy any amount of villainy ‘would be practised in his name by the Tammany rascals, and there would be no redress, as Mr. Havemeyer’s spot- less character would be held up as a shield from all charges of corruption. But if Mr. Wood is our next Mayor, said the spenker—should he repeat his former rascalities and villainies, our Legislature at Albany can do the same as it did before—cut down his prerogatives still more and cripple him for all evil. This threat of curtailing the municipal liberties being received with hiss- ing and cries of “Put him out,” “Down with the beard- lees boy,” &c., John Francis Tacker took his departure somewhat crestfallen and disgusted with tho vulgarity of his auditors. Cries for more speeches were then heard, and Joo Hoxie and General Nye were calied for. ‘Where's Jim Nye?’’ asked one of the audience. “ Jim Nye isn’t nigh to-night,” was the prompt an answer. ‘Give us Hoxie, then !’’ shouted the first voice, ““He’s gone to bed with an attack of the black colic,” was the reply. These and similar exclamations ¢ontinued to be indulged in for some time, until some one moved an adjournment, which was declared carried. The peeple then make a rush for the door, and in five minutes the re- publican headquarters were deserted, and dark amd dis- mal as a graveyard. SCENES AT THE HERALD OFFICE. The People En Masse Waiting for the Returms—Immense Hilarity as the Figures were Announced. That this municipal election should have called the entire strength of the voting population of this groat Metropolis to excited action, no reasonable person can be surprised. Looking upon the past political history, the gradual encroachment of black republicanism, and in its wake those of its prototype, abolitionism, it cannot bo denied, indeed, that this was the most important election that has ever taken place in our city, and one, in fact, which will decide whether commerce and trade are to yield to fanaticwm and insanity. No wonder, then, that last evening, the evening of this vastly important olec- tion, the office of the New Yor« Henan should have been quite @ centre of enthusiasm and excitement, and the resort to allay anxiety, fear and doubt.

(From the Mont 'y (Ala.) Advertiser, Dec. 2] ‘The inaugural address of Governor Moore, which wo publish to-day, abounds in State rights democratic doo- trines and counsels. But we cannot refrain from ex- Eee our admiration at the pointed and decisive re- uke whicbgour able and venerable chief has 80 opvortunely administered to those who are openly or covertly laboring to degrade tho Southern democracy into the embraces of black republicanism or Douglasism. No one can doubt that the positions of Governor Moore are backed, almost unanimously, by the people of Ala- bama. And shame upon the Alabamian who shall here- after take a lower stand than our wise, just wand prudent ‘executive. ‘Tho message concludes as follows: — Having made a brief and trae statement of facts which show a Sapa sae fearful increase of the power of” the black republicans, and having discussed and shown the dangerous tendency of the new issue, growing out of the slavery question, we are naturally led to ask, what is the duty of the slaveholding States under the circum- tances? I can ovly give you my opinion. They should do everything that becomes them 4s patriots, to preserve: their rights and equality in the Union. They should insist. on all their constitutional rights, aud grant the samo te every section of the country, and make no more com- promises of principles involving constituvonal rights, If they have been taught anything by experience, it is, that. by compromises and concessions on tho question of sla- very, they have lost mach and gained > It, with tho lights before them, they continue to make concessigns. of constitutional rights, they will deserve the fate that. will certainly overtake them. It is manifest that the black republicans intend to be satisfied with nothing abert of,the extermination of the institution of slavery. 1e- ‘“rrepressible ounflict”’ is going on, and has developed itself In a now in the bloody tragedy at The exe of apie Yabo feazanco or nonfeasance of Congress, and the Territorial Legislatures, they intend to accomplish by con- apiracy, violence and bloodshed. T repeat, then, let the ithern States stand firmly upon the constitution, as the reat platform upon which the federal gov 4 erected, and under which their rights can alono be pro- tected. Lot it not be auoposed from what I have said that) Tam a disunionist. No man ia a disunioniat who adheres Strictly to the constitution. There is no sacrifice I would: pot make to preserve the Union ag our fathors mae it.

The approaching may test it, It is, therefore, the duty of the constitution and equal rights, in. Union, to unite to prevent lection of a lican. That an overruling Providence will direct the pub- lic mind in the path of duty and [eget hemes a useately through the approadhing crisis, is my prayer. 3. MISCELLANEOUS.
