The News. The steamship Melita, from Liverpool on the 15th and Londonderry 14th inst., passed Farther Point yesterday on her way to Quebec, ‘The steamship Great Eastern was to leave on the 16th, and was expected to reach here in ten days. ‘The evacuation of Palermo by the Neapolitan troops was to have been completed on the 1th inst. The Neapolitan government had decided to concentrate all the military forces at Syracuse and Messina. Palermo had suffered greatly by the bombardment. The Neapolitans had committed great atrocities, burned three hundred houses and several! convents, and killed many women and children who sought to escape from the conflagra- tion of their dwellings. Garibaldi had called all Sicilians to arms between the ages of 17 and 50. It was romored in Paris that France and Piedmont had accepted the mediation proposed by Naples, under the conditions of a liberal constitution for Naples and a separate government for Sicily, under Bourbon rule. A grand military review was to be held in Paris on the 14th to celebrate the formal annexation of Savoy and Nice, after which the Emperor would leave for Baden to meet the Prince Regent of Prus- sia and the German sovereigns. There was a good demand for money at London, with no change in rates. Consols closed at 93) a 933 for account, ex dividend. The cotton market at Liverpool was dull and unchanged, with unfa- vorabie advices from Manchester as to the state of trade, quotations being barely maintained, Flour ‘was steady, with an upward tendency in wheat and a downward one in corn, but prices unchanged. A rise had taken place in the Parisian wheat market, on account of unfavorable crop reports. ‘The steamship Champion, Capt. Fletcher, from Ban Francisco and Rio de Janeiro, arrived here yesterday. She left Rio on the 2d inst., and we have full files of Rio papers to that date, three o'clock P.M. Yellow fever had subsided. There is no news of any importance. ‘The news of the nominations of both Conventions was received at Washington with every demonstra- tion of enthusiasm by the politicians of both sec- tions of the democracy. A serenade was given Mr. Douglas on Saturday evening, when he made a speech suitable to the occasion, and which we give elewhere. The vote cast for Mr. Douglas on the first ballot in the Coavention was 173}, and on the secoad 1514. The Senate confirmed a number of nominations on Saturday evening, among them that of Major Emory, to be Lieutenant Colonel by brevet. Mr. Charcbell's nomination as Minister to Guatamala, and that of Mr. Nicholdson as Consul at Turin, were not acted up The United States Steamer Seminole, under orders a! the Brazillian station, has been examined by the government naval constructors, and pro- nounced seaworthy. It is now looked upon as certain that the Post Office Deficiency bill will not be passed at this ses- sion of Congress. The total amount included in the bil! for the expenses of the last six months is seven million dollars. The bill for ocean mail service to California has also failed. Private advices state that the Chinese were making great preparations to resist the French and English forces, and were confident of their ability to resist. An impression prevailed at Shanghae that the internal troubles of the empire, which had esused mach alarm, would not prove of a serious Datare, Every disposition was manifested by the Chinese to adhere to and carry out the treaty stipa- Tations with the United States, ‘The cotton market continued dull, and sales wero limit- @4 to some 200 2 900 bales at unchanged prices. We s@il quote middling uplands at about 10Xc a 10%. There was hardly enough doing, bowever, to give a fair basis for qootations, and the week through has been among the dullest of the season.

The final rupture at Baltimore of the old de- mocrate party organization consumunates the upheaving aad revolution of political parties which began some years since, and now leaves the people free from all their old party affi- liations and ties. The revolution in the minority party organi- zations began with the defeat of Gen. Scott and the breaking up of the whig party in 1852, and the subsequent attempts to create an organiza- tion on the proscriptive platform of the Know Nothings of 1854, and the destructive abolition idea of an “irrepressible conflict” between North and South, which is now being promul- gated by the sectional Northern party, belong to the same order of things, The Know Nothings died of an excess of zeal for proscrip- tive Americaniem, and the black republicans, whether Lincoln be elected or fot to the Pre- sidency, will die of the same excessive zealous- ness for an impracticable mania for revolution. Their leaders have thrown over their strongest man, and weakened the party ties to a degree that cannot be reeovered, and they must end in disintegration and subsidence into small abo- lition faction. This political revolution has now culminated in the breaking up of the majority party organization which has 60 often held power since 1828; .and on Saturday the politicians who have managed it passed at. Baltimore the solemn act absolving the masses from their old allegiance, and presented two sets of political leaders soliciting their suffrages. No individual democrat can hold fealty to both of the confliot- ing organizations that have come out of the ruins of the old party with which he acted, and every one is now freed from bis party ties, and to go whither he listeth. Neither Breckiavidge nor Douglas bas any claim on him on account of the past, and they must base their claims to popular support, in the new order of things, on the same ground where they will meet so many other claimants for popular favor—future ser- vices and a true spirit of national statesmanship. Whoever takes a broad view of the coun- try and its attendant circumstances cannot fail to perceive what the new order of things really is. It is supposed that the state of affairs in relation to political parties which existed in 1824 is repeated now; and though this is true as regards the breaking up of old organizations, it is not so for the formation of new ones. Then the adherents of Jackson, Adams, Calhoun, Clay and Crawford all came from the old republican party, and each gather- ed to itself accretions from the loose elements of party politics, and from the then rising gene- ration of men. The new parties were ranged after the old system of political tactics. To-day this cannot be done. New circumstances attend | the country, new elements must exercise their influence on parties, and a totally different sys- tem of tactics is required to attain success in future political campaigns. The country has become too large to warrant the idea that it can be divided into two great national parties, or that any purely sectional party can succeed. Our sectional interests are too numerous and varied to permit that. From this rises the necessity that the men who con- duct our national affairs, and the policy they pursue, shall be of a higher order, and partake more purely of a national character, than mere local politicians can ever become. Those who look only to success in State and county elections are incompetent to conduct the affairs of a nation embracing a hemisphere. As a consequence of this state of things, the old scheme of party organization, through a con- nected chain of county conventions, State con- ventions, and national conventions, in which the same men figure at all times, has become an impossibility. This is clearly exemplified in the present state of the press all over the land. The old system of county journals, led by one or two political organs at the capital, has been superseded by the national journals, which the independent newspapers of this metropolis have become. It is no longer in the power of the county newspapers and the political organs to make great men by a system of elaborate and continued puffing. Public men, as they appear in the arena of public affairs, are subject to the independent judgment of national journalism, and they must grow or diminish in reputation as their views aré broad or contracted, their motives high or low, and their deeds national or sectional, Here we have a new element in the future or- ganization of political parties Which has never before existed. The independent journals of this metropolis constitute a national congress in permanent session, where measures and men are continually discussed as they rise, and which is destined to exercise a continually in- creasing power among the people and in govern- ment. It is this congress which will in the main animate and direct the ideas of the people, and every mile of new telegraph or new railroad, every improvement in the transmission of intel- ligence and newspapers, tends to increase its influence. Under its guidance the natural na- tional impulses of the people will break up the old system of county and town party organiza- tions, in which the same professional politicians and office hunters assume the right to draw the same party lines in national and in local affairs. Higher and nobler motives than greed for office will thus become infused into the conduct of all our public interests, and we'shall get rid of the spoils hunting mania, which has so long been the bane of national, State, county and town politics alike. Let Mr. Breckinridge and Mr. Douglas take all these things into consideration, in the new posi- tion in which they have been placed by the culmi- nation at Baltimore of the revolution in political parties. The country now requires national statesmen, and not sectional and local politicians, at Washington; and as builders up of new party organizations, their future success will depend upon the breadth of the foundations of the edi- fices they are to construct. Deatn or Tux Howestean Brut.— We publish elsewhere the points in the President's Message vetoing the “ Vote Yourself a Farm” bill, as it was finally agreed upon by the Senate and House, The President objects to the bill, first, because it is a humbug, and, second, because, if it became a law, it would make a serious inroad upon the revenue. We recommend the elo- quent peroration to the Message to the atten- tion of those who may be disappointed by the President's action in the premises. His exposition of the true theory upon which this government is founded is most clearly, briefly and fully expressed. Our people are self-sup- porting, and ask no government aid. When we come to agrarianism ruin is not far off. We Go not, however, moan to enter jato a dis- NEW YORK HERALD, cussion of the abstract question as to the merits of the Homestead bill or bills. They were iu- troduced in Congress by the black republicans with a double object in view, First. they ex- pected to catch the German votes, and those of the few persons at the North who believe in the general principle of free farms; and, second, so to reduce the revenue as to be able to carry out their tariff schemes. They managed to get the bill through both houses through the cowardice of some Northern members and Senators, who were afraid of losing a few votes should they expose the real character of the measure. The fact is, that land is so plenty and cheap that almost any one, however poor, can obtain a title to the soil. When we know that in Iowa, the Queen agricultural State of the West, im- proved farms can be bought for ten or fifteen dollars an acre, the idea of a law compelling the government to give wild land to every one who asks for it is absurd. If the politicians will let the public lands alone the country will be much better off. The: Presidential Battle Made Up—The ‘Two Democratic Tickets. The democratic party has been rent asunder. Ithas been split in twain. by the disorganizing spoilamen of the camp, as neatly and complete- y as ever “Old Abe Lincoln,” with his axe, maul and wedges, split a chestnut log into two parts, in the days of his Presidential appren- ticeship at rail-splitting. Each of these two divisions of the disjointed democracy has set up its ticket for the campaign—the Douglas wing nominating their “Little Giant,” and the anti- Douglas wing nominating Vice President Breck- inridge. Thus, then, the order of this Presidentia! bat- tle is at length made up, to wit:— AN TICKET. For Prestdent—Abrabam Lincoln, of Minsis, Por Vice President—Hannibal Hamlin, of Maine. CONSTITUTIONAL UNION TICKET. For President—Jobn Beli, of . For Vice President—Kaward Everett, of Massachusetts. DOUGLAS DEMOCRATIC TICKET. For President—Stephen A, Douglas, of Ilinois. Por Vice Prevident—Benjamin Fitzpatrick, of Alabama. ANTI-DOUGLAS DEMOCRATIC TICKET. For Presi €. Breckinridge, of Kentucky. For Vice President—Joseph Lane, of Oregon. Four parties and four tickets in the field, with General Sam Houston, as an independent candi- date, running in Texas. We have had nothing to compare with this arrangement since 1836, when the following was the order of the day for .the Presideney:— Democratic Candidate—Martin Van Buren. ‘Southern ine Whig Candidate—Hugh L.. White. .* Mangum. South Carolina Candidate—W illic P. But this division of the opposition forces upon three tickets was not the result of a split, but of an arrangement to carry the election into the House of Representatives. The following was the result:— 4 But Van Buren carried Connecticut by only five hundred, and Pennsylvania by less than four thousand votcs; and these two States thus saved him from defeat. The democrats fought in solid column under the prestige of Old Hickory’s popularity, while the opposition fought like guerillas and wasted their strength. Otherwise, upon the single ticket of Harrison, they might have carried the election. They profited from their experience in 1840, and Harrison was elected as by a sweeping popular tornado. So now the division of the popular elements opposed to the republican party operates to weaken each faction and to strengthen the re- publican ticket, because of the increased confi- dence on that side, and the absence of anything like a definite hope on any other side. The two democratic factions are arrayed against each other—the administration being directly identi- fied, in the person of Vice President Breckin- ridge, with the seceding party. Mr. Breckinridge is a young, fine looking, talented, cultivated and popular man. On his Southern rights platform he will, doubtless, carry all the cotton States, excepting, perhaps, Louisiana; but the intervention of a Douglas electoral ticket may take from him the democratic balance of power in all the border slave States, and some of the second tier also, whereby those States may be secured to Bell and Everett. On the other hand, assuming that the admin- istration will co-operate in support of the Breckinridge ticket, from what quarter are the sinews of war in the North to be supplied to Mr. Douglas? We know that the “financial and material aid’ collected from the office holders of poor Pierce contributed very essentially to the election of Mr. Buchanan. In this instance Collector Sehell, in going over to the Breckin- ridge side, acted, no doubt, with a full under- standing of the position of the administration. But its position in reference to Mr. Douglas is too well understood to require any collateral evidences to establish it. In this aspect of the case we are not disposed to over estimate the enthusiasm of the Douglas party, and their heavy cannonading of one, two, three and four hundred guns in Albany, Buffalo, Chicago, Indianapolis and elsewhere, on receipt of the news of his nomination. There is no visible contingency in which he can be elected, for the combinations by which he might enter the House, as the third highest candidate, appear to be impracticable. Thus, there is nothing on hand in the way of spoils, and nothing of pros- pective relief from the federal Treasury in behalf of the Douglas workers in this campaign. Mr. Belmont, one of the Douglas National Commit- tee, has money; but eo had “Live Oak George.” Mr. Douglas was ready to withdraw the other day as a candidate; but this apparent magna- nimity amounted to nothing, coupled as it was with the injunction to his friends to hold the South fast to the dogma of squatter sovereignty. He might even now, however, immortalize him- self as a hero, in a graceful withdrawal from out sbandoning bis hobby of reignty. Nor would there be any his friends to abandon it in supporting Breck: would as certainly defeat Lincoln. whole field is yet covered with the dust and emoke of the terrible carnage at Baltimore. A few days hence we shall be able to comprehend more clearly the dispositions and relative strength of the contesting forces. At present, MONDAY, JUNE 25, 1860. we suppose the republican leaders, including Greeley this time, are parcelling out the offices and spoils of the next administration. Recernios oy THe Prixce ov Wauns.—It is not very often that we find anything entertain- ing in the journals which are published for the information of our neighbors across the fron- Just now, however, they seem to have been spurred into a degree of activity which is as agreeable as it is novel and surprising. The cause of this sudden attack of eprightliness is the near approach of the blessed day when his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales shall set his illustrious foot upon American soil. So the newspapers, which reflect popular sentiment, are full of details as to the arrangements for the reception of the heir apparent. The most important of these articles will be found in our current impression. It will be recollected that the Canadians were a good deal bothered between their desire to re- ceive the Prince like a prince, and the con- sideration of the amount of money which the thing, if done handsomely, would cost. But the Canadian is more loyal than the Briton who has never been twenty miles away from Temple Bar—the provincials are always more Roman than the Romans themselves—and so they have determined to go the entire animal and not to mind the expense, which, according to the Que- bee Chronicle, will not be less than half a million of dollars. The only Prince of Wales who was worth anything was he who fought at Cressy; but they have all been very expensive luxuries. George, afterwards Regent and fourth King of his name, was a very dear prince, and by all accounts, the present heir apparent has shown the family strain of blood in more ways than one. However, the Canadians will not throw their money away. ‘The Prince's visit will bring thousands of tour- ists from the United States. People who have never done the Falls, the great lakes, the St. Lawrence, Montmorency, Quebec and the Sa- guenay, will now take the opportunity of making the tour and at the same time seeing the “ man only nineteen years old,” who will be one of these days, barring accidents, King of Great Britain and Ireland. The Canadians receive their hereditary crown prince with all the hon- ors due to the immediate representative of one of the estates of the realm, while our people run after the cortege with about the same feeling that they would experience should Tom Sayers show himself in "New York. We are not sure that the Prince would have the best of it compared with Tom Sayers, who would be very liable to be the more attractive star of the twain. . Beavtirut Worgine or THE Scnpar Ligvor Law.—Our readers are aware that under the au- thority of the special statute, the Police Commis- sioners have endeavored to prohibit the sale of spirituous liquors on the Sabbath, and have re- ceived for their apparent success in so doing a great many compliments from that portion of the community which affects to monopolize all the rigid respectability and seyere morality there is going. Because the Commissioners have restrained the sale of liquors at bars and in wine shops, it is believed by people who, like the Police Commissioners, are never about town on Sunday, that there is less drinking on that day than on the other six in the week. This is a grave error. It seems that the police have no right to interfere with the keepers of restaurants who may sell liquor alone in private rooms or at tables, or what are called “eating counters.” More liquor is sold in this way than at the bar, for obvious reasons; and so the action of the Commissioners tends to increase rather than to diminish tippling on the Sabbath. It is a good common sense, and therefore com- mon law maxim, that when any enactment can be safely defied or easily evaded, it ceases to be a law. And the Sunday Liquor law seems to be precisely in that predicament. Tue Cask or Jacos S. Harvey, tur Wire Porsoxer.—Yesterday we published a tele- graphic despatch from Trenton, N. J., stating that information had been received there that Jacob S. Harden, the Methodist minister recently convicted of wife poisoning at Belvidere, had made a full confession, and that his execution had been postponed to the 6th of July next. This information is further confirmed by des- patches from Belvidere, which state that the pastor of the Methodist church there announced from his pulpit, on Friday evening, that Harden had confessed his guilt and desired the prayers of the church. The action of the Court of Par- dons in refusing to commute his punishment to imprisonment is thus justified by the pri- soner himself, and that stern New Jer- sey justice, which is the dread of all evil doers, is again vindicated. Harden has been engaged for some time in dictating this confession to a brother minister, and yet his friends in the Methddist persuasion have been using every effort to secure for him, first, a new trial; then, when that attempt failed, a pardon; and, finaly, a commutation of his punishment. If it were known how many criminals were par- doned or escaped the sentence of the law by legal quibbles, while they had in their pockets full confessions of their guilt, ready for imme- diate publication if the fates were adverse, Jus- tice, so often represented with bandaged eyes, would seem, indeed, stone blind.

A Turin despatch says of the terms of capitulation, that the Neapolitan troops are to embark, with their arms and baggage. They are to encamp until their embarkation on Monte Pellegrino, The Fort of Castillamore has been placed in the keeping of the English Admiral until the evacuation has been of- fected. A Naples despatch of the 10th of June says the evacua- tion of Palermo by the royal troops will terminate to- morrow. The troops, which have already commenced to arrive at Naples, have been despatched towards Castilla- more and Gaeta. ‘The Neapolitan troops in Sicily will be concentrated in Syracuse, Messina and Agosta. The Neapolitans will em- bark with arms and baggage. ATurin despatch says that according to the terms of capitulation the English were temporarily to occupy the Forts of Palermo, for reasons not known. This clause, however, has not been put into execution. It is stated that the Neapolitan government had de- cided upon concentrating all the military forces at Syra- cnse and Messina, because by preserving these strong po- sitions it still hopes to appear in the eyes of Europe master of Sicily. Garibaldi is said to have appointed a provisional govern- ment, with Baron Roano Minister of Foreign Affairs; Cris- pi in the Home Office and Finances; Orsini Minister of War, and Abbe Coligno Minister of Religious Worship. It is positively asserted that Garibaldi found £960,000 sterling in the coffers of the treasury. ‘The damage done by the bombardment of Palermo was. immense. ‘The treasury was destroyed. ‘The Neapolitans committed great atrocities. Three hundred houses were burnt by the Neapolitans in only one quarter of the town, as well as several convents. At the moment of retreat, women and children who sought to escape from the burning houses were killed. ‘The Carini palace was sacked and burned. As they re- tired, the soldiers set fire to all the houses in their way. Catania was given up to pillage by the royalists, and then vbandoned. Garibaldi has issued a decree calling all Sicilians to urms, between the ages of 17 and 50. Fifty vessels of war were in the Roads of Palermo, The Opinione Nationale gives a rumor that France had, with the consent of Piedmont, accepted the mediation pro- posed by Naples. The conditions of mediation are a Libe- ral constitution for Naples, a separate government for Si- cily under a Prince of the House of Bourbon, subject to the condition that the Sicilians give their consent. It is reported that Mazzini had embarked for Sicily. The Sardinian government had ordered all their fleet, and all authorities along the coast, to apprehend him, if possible. A Naples despatch of the 9th says the promulgation of a constitution, framed similar to that of France, was ex- pected shortly. Garibaldi had addressed a letter to Signor Bertini, autho- rizing him to make advances or negotiate a loan for Sicily, or to contract any debt, and adds that he has at Sicily im- mense means to satisfy all claims. A Neapolitan Envoy was on his way to Paris and London. Count Aquila, uncle of the King of Naplos, was strongly urging the adoption of an Italian policy and a liberal con- Btitution for the government of Naples. GREAT BRITAIN. In the louse of Commons on the 11th, Lord John Rus- sell announced that, as there was but very little pros. pect of the Reform bill being passed this session, the government, with the view of preventing further waste of time, was reluctantly compelled to withdraw the mea- sure. He promised to bring forward a new bill at tho earliest opportunity at the next session. ‘Disraeli, the government on the withdrawal of the bill, and even Mr. Bright sat he could mot blame the Ministry for the course they have taken. He trusted that the public would firmly declare what is expected before the next session , and promised that the bill would be received in a fairer by the House. . Bright also entered into a defonce of the commer- cial treaty with France, and protested against the mis- representation of the London Times upon the subject. He Predicted the most beneficial results from the treaty. On the 12th, in the Commons, Lord Palmerston stated that in order to afford shelter to persons claiming the pro- tection of the British flag, the Admiralty had been di- rected to station a ship of war at Messina, another at Marsala, another at Palermo and four in the Bay of Naples. He understood that an envoy was on bis way from Naples to Yaris and London, and government would not hesitate to express to him those feelings with which they, in common with every person throughout the country, bad regarded the barbari- ties perpetrated at Palermo, which were really a disgrace to the present age.
