The News. The steamship Bremen, for Southampton and Bremen, saifs ‘at two P. M., to-day (Saturday), not being able to cross the bar before four P, M. ‘The mail closes at the Post Office at 124 P. M. The telegraphic announcements of the result of the election in North Carolina indicate a complete revolution in that State in favor of the Bell and Everett party. Returns nearly complete from Wake county, which includes the city of Raleigh, show that Pool, the opposition candidate for Governor, has made great gains, and succeeded in carrying the county, which in 1556 gave Buchanan 789 ma- jority over Fillmore, out of less than twenty-three hundred votes. Ifthe returns from other portions of the State bear a similar aspect to those already received, North Carolina may be safely set dowa for the opposition in November next. The steamship Great Eastern, hence for Anna- polis, was seen off Cape May yesterday morning, at half past four o'clock. By the arrival at this port of the brig Golden Lead, Captain Johnson, from Minatitlan, we have advices to the 4th ult. The Mexican steamer Con- Btitution, formerly the steamer Indianola, and Mex- ican schooner Caroline, arrived June 30, from Vera Cruz, with troops to protect Minatitlan. June 31, arrived schooner Col. Lester, from Vera Cruz, in ballast. The expedition which left Minatitlan during the month of May returned June 27, They went fo the head waters of the Coatzacoalcos, in the vi- cinity of Santa Maria Chinalapa, and report having found gold paying eight cents to the pan, but were obliged to return for provisions. The gold brought down was ten carat coarse gold, intermixed with black sand, taken from the surface. The expedi- tion reta to the mines on the Ist ult. with six mont rovisions. Several French residents and Me. have left for the mines. Another ex- pedition being fitted out by the principal mer- chants of Minatitlan to explore farther into the interior. The mines are accessible either by land ‘or water; distance about 160 miles from Minatitlan. Crews are deserting vessels every day with the in- tention of going to the mines. The night previous to the Golden Lead’s sailing one of the men desert- ed, and it was with the utmost difficulty that Cap- tain Johnson was able to keep the rest on board, Our correspondent at Barbadeos, writing on the 17th ult., says:—Daily since the 14th inst., copious showers of rain have fallen, affording infinite relief to the parched earth and famishing cattle of the island. Business dull, and no demand for tonnage until the new crop sets in. The Prince of Wales landed at St. John, N. B., yesterday forenoon, where he was received by the Governor of the Provinee, the Mayor of the city, and other dignitaries, and a general turnout of the inhabitants. By ® communication in another column it will be seen that a number of British residents of this city have requested Mr. Archibald, the British Consul, to call a meeting for the pur- pose of adopting mesures for extending to the Prince of Wales, on the occasion of his visit to this city, some appropriate demonstration of respect aud welcome. In accordance with the request a meeting of British residents will be held at the Astor House on Monday evening next, at eight o'clock, for the purpose of considering the subject referred to. The Board of Councilmen at its session yester- day, refused, by a vote of seventeen to six, to con- cur with the Board of Aldermen in appropriating the $105,000 for defraying the expenses of receiving the Japanese. A motion to reconsider subsequent- iy prevailed and the matter will again come up for consideration on Tuesday next. A serions accident occurred on the Long Island Railroad about eight o'clock yesterday morning. ‘The morning fast train from Syosset started at the usual hour for Brooklyn, and when opposite a place called New Brooklyn, in the Ninth ward, the ive ‘k a cow, and was thrown from the ‘rac! Was so great that two baggage cars were forced upon the locomotive and dashed in pieces. Two passenger cars were also broken, but not wrecked to such an extent as the baggage cars. Several passengers were injured, but it was thought that none were killed. The fireman of the locomotive was instantly killed, and the engineer severely injured. Men were sent from the depot with all practicable speed to clear away the wreck and afford other necessary assistance. The sales of cotton yesterday embraced about 600 bales, closing on the basis of quotations given im another columa. Flour opened firmer, under the influence of private advices by the Asia, with tolerable free salos, but the market closed at about the current prices of the previous day. Wheat was active and in good demand for export, with free sales; but the market was lose Dooyant at the close. Corn was firmer and in good demand at prices given elsewhere. The movements in four and grain the past week at this port may be seen from the following table — Bs te Fiour, bbis 0. 567 O24 234.907 276.996 31 682 27 580 238 ~ especially new mess, which sold at 319 18K a $19 95, and new prime at $14, though somo Jots were reported under that figure. Sugars were more active, and closed with rather more spirit. The sales om. Draced about 17,000 bhds. Coflee was firm. Freights were also firm, at 10d. at 10%sd. for wheat in bulk and aga to Liverpool. Urn Potrtioat, Corresronpence.—We pub- lish elsewhere in our columns another interest- ing instalment of our political correspondence from diferent quarters of the country, showing how the Presidential campaign is going on, and the different views and expectations of the ad- herents of the various candidates. We give to- day voices from New York, Kentucky, Tennes- see, Maine, Ilinois, Rhode Island and Texas, An election takes place in Kentucky on the th Inst,, in which considerable ioterest must centre, for the spirit of the Presidential contest enters largely into it. The native State of Mr. Breckloridge will then make its first pronounce- ment for or against the Breckinridge candi- date, and the greatest excitement naturally prevalla there as to the result. ‘The Speech of ex-Governor Foote—Logical Results of His Position and Actton. We published yesterday the speech of ex- j Governor Foote, at Saratoga, on the political questions and jeaders of the day. As the speaker and his policy for the present cam- paigm constitute a fair type of the professional politicians and their measures in the impending crisis, an analysis of his character and position will convey an instructive lesson to all. Mr. Foote is a man of mark. He has held numerous offices in the gift of the people, rangirg from the representation of a district in a State Legislature up to the Governorship of a eovereign State, and from that to a seat in the national Senate, the highest deliberative body the world ever knew. He has lacked but one short step—the limited one that intervenes between the Senatorial seat and the Pro- sidency—of attaining the highest honor that a nation of freemen can bestow. His p. and public career have combined to give him a wide prac- tical acquaintance with the wants and hopes of the country. Born in Virginia, the State of great memories, he has filled the duties.of a citizen in Alabama, Mississippi, California and Tennessee, and acquired by long personal intercourse an extensive knowledge of the Central, Northern, Eastern and Wi States. In bis public career he has taken part in some of the greatest political contests that this.country has witnessed, and is not without honor for his'deeds. Such is the speaker. His delineation, therefore, of the requirements of the country, the present political divisions that agitate it, and the inevitable results that will attend in a given case, are not the echoes of mere hearsay, but they are the fruit of a wide scene of practical observation. Ripe from these labors, he comes into the present contest as a working politician. He recognises the great fact that a united and strong sectional party has been built up by a combination of the social prejudices, the mis- led moral zeal, and the baneful reli- gious fanaticism of the people of the Northern States. His practice in states- manship, his knowledge of the different sections of the confederacy, and the findings of his common sense, all warn him of the dangers in which the triumph of sucha party must involve the highest and dearest in- terests of his fellow citizens and his country. But if these were wanting, he has the acknow- ledged aims of the leaders of that party. Lin- coln, its head and front to-day, proclaims the social superiority of the North, and that the Wnion cannot exist between States half slave and half free. Seward, its master spirit, repeats the announcement of the “irrepressible con- flict,” and vauntingly boasts that “where free- dom is there is my home.” Spooner, its law- giver, demonstrates with irrefutable logic, if you accept his black republican premises, that the constitution is an abolition instrument suffi- cient for the utter destruction of the slave half of our Union. Greeley, its mouthpiece, flaunt- ingly announces his hatred of the social organi- zation of the Southern States, and that he will “labor for its eradication from our own and all other countries so long as I live.” And these revolutionary, destructive and atrocious senti- ments, are repeated in the ears of Mr. Foote, and before the whole country, by hundreds of presses and speakers of the black republican party. They are not lost upon him. He feels the danger in every nerve, and in the speech we have now before us he makes acknowledgment of the convictions of his practical experience in these worde:— Much opposed as some in the South were to secession, and bh some of them might be inclined to protest against the act of breaking up the Union, in the event of Lincoln’s being elected, it was his duty to say, with his hand on his heart, that if Lincoln be el om the plat- form on which he is running, all the efforts of all the Union men North and South would not be sufficient to prevent the destruction of the confederacy. With this confession of his conviction of the duty of defeating the election of Lincoln, with the honors he won in the battle for the Union in 1850 still hanging worthily upon him, what is the practical tenor of Mr. Foote’s late speech at Saratoga and his present labors as a work- ing politician? They contain no word of re- buke for th® fanatics who would carry an “ ir- repressible conflict” to the shedding of torrents of fraternal blood, nor one well directed effort to the defeat of a candidate whose triumph he believes to be 80 inimical to his country’s good. It cannot escape his practised eye that the conservative masses of the people outnumber by far the fana- tics, zealots and fomentors of local pre- judice; and that if they are not di- vided in their action during the present contest they will not only save the country from the fate he deprecates, but will consign Northern sectionalism an@ fanaticism to as deep a grave as that in which he helped to inter Southern folly and disunionism ten years ago. Yet with the inevitable results of division and bickering among the conservative interests standing plain to his view, he heaps abuse upon his fellow conservatives, and counsels war to the hilt with them, simply because they will not accept his personal preferences in the seleotion of their candidate; and that, too, when the one he would have them adopt has not a probable chance of being supported by the electoral vote of one State in the Union. Where, then, is the logical connection be- tween the words and deeds of Mr. Foote—be- tween his long exercised statesmanship and pa- triotisfi, And the necessities of his country, in this hour of danger! Unfortunately, such a con- nection does not exist; and he, blinded to the fact by his personal feelings, docs not see that he is laboring to bring about the very result which he assures his countrymen that he deprecates with all his ieart, Like Mr, Foote, there are hundreds of men, who have oc- | cupied higher or more modest positions of po- litical leadership, that are working for the elec- tion of Lincoln while pretending to be opposed tobim. They are like lookouts upon a ship na- vigating in dangerous seas, who, perceiving the peril, cry out, “Breakers ahead! breakers ahead! pull, boys, pull!” thus rushing their craft upon the destruction manifest to their view. No one of them lifts his voice to cry out, “Wear ship;” and the logical conclusion is that their hearts are with the pirates upon the shore, who are displaying luring signals and false lights to lead them to their toils. When the hour comes to | plunder the wreck, these false pilots, these short sighted or treacherous political leaders, will be found sharing with the pirates they pre- tended to detest. The only logical termination of the career upon which Mr. Foote and his fellow partisans hare entered upon, isin the bectic nd fanaticnl camp of the binck re- Partr Cowrnwrrioss ror Preseyriat Pcr- voses— No Nuxp or Taxa Tas Tumx.—We feel authorized to announce to the money contribu- tors of all parties and factions concerned, that they will be acting wisely this time to treat all Spplications for money for Presidential purpo- ees in this campaign with a flat refusal to give acopper. There is no necessity for any such contributions to the cause of “Old Abe Lin- coln,” and all moneys bestowed to aid in the work of electing either Breckinridge, Bell or Douglas, are moneys foolishly thrown away. ‘The result of the election is a foregone conclu- sion. Lincoln will be elected; not only so, but from present appearances he will walk over the course, How can a beleaguered city stand against a formidable outside enemy with the forces of the garrison divided into hostile parties and fighting among themselves? The democracy are involved in the wars of the roses. The Douglas faction wear the white rose of York, and the Breckinridge faction sport the red rose of Lancaster. There are also six Richmonds in the field, exclusiveof the Dean of the Albany Regency. And with what an unction do the Douglas and the Breckinridge factions. pitch into each other. If we may believe the one side, Breckinridge is @ disunionist, a conspira- tor, a secession fire-eater, and Mr. Buchanan’s administration is the most corrupt despotism the world has ever seen; if we may credit the other side, Douglas is a demagogue, a traitor, n abolition incendiary in the flimsy disguise of squatter sovereignty, and is only playing the game of Van Buren of 1843. Thus, on the side of Douglas we find his or- gans and orators, North and South, East and West, almost entirely overlooking the existence of Lincoln, while they are pouring their shot and shells, grape, cannister and musketry, front and flank, into the Breckinridge democracy. And the same holds good with the Breckinridge faction, though not to the same extent. Mean- time, the Bell and Everett pipelayers, confess- ing their weakness before they have made any trial of their strength, have been bobbing, hob- nobbing around, patching up in one place a trade with the Breckinridge men, selling out in another place to Douglas on trust; here seeking to sandwich . themselves be- tween Breokinridge and Douglas, and there urging on the fight between the two factions, so that the Bell and Everett ticket may be slip- ped in between them. If there were any positive assurance that Breckinridge would carry the whole South, then a hundred thousand dollars or so might turn the tide of battle in Pennsylvania and save the day; for the politicians and newspa- pers there may be bought, like anthracigy goal, by the ton, although, as compared wl the coal, those politicians are very poor stuff. But it now appears that the chances are against the unity of the South, and so it would be folly to waste money to rescue Pennsylva- nia. The Chevalier Forney, we believe, got somewhere near a hundred thousand dollars from New York in 1856 with which to save Pennsylvania and our glorious Union; and, though he burnt his vouchers after the election, it is admitted that he bought up Know Nothings enough in October to settle the hash for Fre- mont. Tom Ford, now Printer to Congress, was at the same time sentout to Pennsylvania with a purse of twenty thousand or so; But it was too light, and, if we are not mistaken, Tom's vouchers of his disbursements never did come over five thousand. And so Tom lost the election in failing to look as liberally after the floating newspapers and politicians of Pennsyl- vania as Forney with the funds of the New York committee. But with the democracy on all sides going to the dogs, what is the use of money to them in this campaign? The thing isfixed. The repub- licans have it all their own way, and the docu- ments from their distributing committee at Washington, and Greeley’s documents, are all 80 much waste paper. They might just as well go at once to the grocer’s at two cents a pound, as to be sent all over the country, lumbering up the mails, and only to be sent at last to the grocery. In short, while it is folly to waste money for Breckinridge, Bell or Douglas in this canvases, upon wandering stumpers and loafers who can do nothing, it is useless to be throwing money away for Lincoln orators, or- gans, clubs and vagrant minstrels and Gree- ley’s documents, when it is clear that Lincoln can do just as well without them. The demo- cracy have arranged it that he shall be elected, and the raising of funds for his cause or any other cause is sheer nonsense, Tar Exscrioy mw Norte Carouiwa—The election returns from North Carolina, which we publish in Blumn, are mixed up,be- tween the vote for Governor and Legislature: and are not sufficiently complete to found any decided opinion upon them as to the result. But there can be no disguising the fact that pre- sent appearances are ominous as regards the hopes of the democratic party. The gain of the opposition in some counties is certain; and if, with only one democratic candidate in the field, the election is considered doubtful, what are we to expect when the demo- cratic strength {is divided between two candidates? The prospects of the de- mocracy in North Carolina are, t6 say the least, clouded by the intelligence of this election, so far as it has come to hand; and if | the évent should prove adyeree when the oon. plete figures reach us, it may be regarded as symptomatic of a general revolution in the South, brought about mainly by the disgust of the people with the fire-eaters of the school of Yancey and Keitt, who have been unfortunately mixed up with the Breckinridge ticket, But before we arrive at any definitive conclusiot we must see some further returns, Potrtican, Reronts ror Tux AssoctaTEn Press.—We have received a communication from the chairman of the National Democratic Committee of the State of New York, com- plaining of the biased and unfair character of the telegraphic reports for the New York Asso- ciated Press, particularly from Albany, where they are furnished by one of the associate edi tors of the Aflas and Argus. It is also «tated that that committee has of late chang: the place of its meetings to Syracuse. because they feel that their proceedings while meeting in Albany have been misrepresented, if not’ bur- lesqued. As the New York Associated Press embraces journals of all shades of politics, we wish it to be understood by the reporter at Albar also by Ite reporters all over the country, that it desires fair and impartial reports from every qnarter, and that it will oot knowingly employ apy man who discolors or misrepresents facts. As e00n as any ultra partisan is found misre- porting the proceedings of his political oppo- nents, we shall demand that he be at once dis- charged. Growrn or Genwrat Jovexatism—Ducay oF Pourticat.—We learn from all quarters that the merely political papers throughout the country find it very hard to get along these times. They are ina very poor plight, and can with difficulty keep going. The campaign papers have started without a campaign, for as yet the battle has not fairly begun; while as for the campaign pamphlets and documents, they are lying in piles on the shelf—there is literally no sale for them. The truth is that the tone and language of the political papers are so dirty, abusive and uninteresting to the masses of the people, that very few of any taste will read them at all. There appears to be a greater general apathy as to the sayings and doings of the politicians than has ever been witnessed be- fore pending a Presidential contest. But while the political papers are decaying in influence and circulation, on the other hand, those, journals which deyote themselves to general literature and news and the legitimate mission of journalism—the papers which ana- lyze all parties and politicians, and give the position of each from day to day without predi- lection or prejudice—are thriving in proportion as the merely political papers decline. We can “speak for ourselves in this regard. The in- crease in the circulation of the Heratp for the past six months has been greater than within any stated period before; and the increase goes on steadily, and promises to continue. The same is true of literature generally and of the arts, They are growing and flourishing with vigor, although we are on the eve of the most important Presidential election ever held in the republic—an election without parallel in its issues, and without precedent in the mode by which it is to be fought. The public are so disgusted with the course of the politicians that they take no notice whatever of them, but look on with"indifference and see them abusing each other in all kinds of vile language. As far as the people are concerned, never was apathy more universal before a Presidential contest than it is now. Tur New York Democracy.—The demo- ralized, disorganized and disjointed democracy of New York, were never in a more pitiful con- dition than they are at this day. They have long been divided into two factions, but now they must be eubdivided into four—two for Breckinridge and two for Douglas. One of the Breckinridge factions is under the control of Collector Schell, member for New York of the National Democratic Executive Committee, holding over from 1856; the other is under the management of John A. Green, chairman of the Hard Shell anti-Albany Regency State Commit- tee, appointed at Syracuse last fall. The ori- ginal Douglas faction is under the management of the Albany Regency and Tammany Hall; and the other Douglas organization is that of Mozart Hall, which is engineered by Fernando Wood. . It will be perceived, too, from the resol tions adopted at Mozart Hall the other even- ing, that while this detachment of the terrified democracy repudiate John A. Green’s organization, and accept that of the Albany Kegency as the legitimate State organization of the party, accord- ing to the judgment of the Charleston Convention before it exploded, they still de- clare that the democracy of this city (of Mozart Hall) “will sustain itself in this crisis, despite the corrupt influences of either the New York Custom House or the Albany Regency.” The Mozart Hall democracy, after adopting these resolutions, will, of course, steer clear of the Breckinridge State Convention of the 7th instant, and will go up to the regular Regency Douglas Convention, which meets a week later. The contesting Tammany Hall delegates will goup at the same time, and will doubtless again declare the Mozart delegates intruders, and demand that they be turned out of doors. Taking the test of our last December election, however, between Wood and Havemeyer for the Mayoralty, Mozart, according to the rule of “popular sovereignty,” will have the legitimate claim to represent the party of this city. The issue will be about as perplexing to Dean Richmond as was the Gordian knot of the Balti- more Convention. His sympathies and affilia- tions are with the dirty Indians ‘of Tammany, while the majority of the city democracy is large- ly against Tammany. Richmond, in fact, will be placed somewhat like the jackass between the two bundles of hay. If he should decide in fa- vor of Tammany, he will only bring down upon that poor old rickety concern a pair of snuffers that will snuff it out entirety; andshould the decision be in favor of the Mozart delegation, then the dirty old Wigwam will be compelled to sell out and close up, and become a defunct in- stitution. Such are the little rival side shows of the New York democracy around the grand menagerie of the republican party. Talk of carrying the State of New York against Lincoln, with four democratic factions and two or three little fus- sy Bell-Everett cliques, all wrangling among themse}yeg| Tha idea is perfectly absurd. Talk of harmony among these conflicting elements! As well talk of brotherly love among the fight- ing factions at a Donnybrook fair, assembled for the express purpose of breaking each oiher's heads. But, at all events, in the Mozart delega- tion at Syracuse Dean Richmond will have a hard nut to crack. Sarr Fever anv mrs Consmqvences..-The cor- rupt assemblage of jobbers, specu’ itors and needy politicians, known as the Al! iny Legis- lature, who met in the State Capitol igst winter, were so busy imposing all kinds of frauds and swindles upon this city and State, that they could not find time to make a moderate appro- priation for the support of the floating quaran- tine hospital in the lower bay, the only safe. guard now remaining against the introduction of contagious diseases liable to be imported from tropical countries. The quarantine ques- tion involved a scramble for plunder, and as it could not be settled to the satisfaction of the Legislature, it was left unsettled altogether. The quarantine hospital, therefore, is a worth- less hulk lying upon the waters of the harbor, while the city, with its immense population, is left exposed to chance or the mercy of Provi- dence for protection against a décimating pes- tilence. Fortunately, up to thie time we have had no epidemic in the city; but we cannot overlook the fact that there are at present no lesa than ship fever ia the hospital at s, aS EE: NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, AUGUST 4, 1860. Ward's Island, in the midst of an indiscriminate | (HE PROGRESS OF THE PRINCE OF WALES. number of paticnts, and that the Vice President of the Emigration Board, Captain Crabtree, has | just fallen a victim to that insidious disease, which he caught in the discharge of his duty while visiting vessels infected with it. Ship fever is a malignant and very often s contagious disease, as it proved in the case of Captain Crabtree; and it has been known to become the origin of serious epidemics before now. Ward’s Island is not the proper place for ship fever patients; they should be isolated in the floating hospital, or somewhere apart from patients suffering from other diseases. But what is to be done ifsthere is no money to sup- port a quarantine hospital of any kind? The Board of Health should take some action in this matter, and immediately, too. This is no season of the year to trifle with contagious disease in any form; and if the Board of Health have no funds to appropriate to the purpose, the merchants and citizens gene- rally should.take the matter in their own hands, and raise money enough to keep the floating hospital in operation during the hot months of summer. : : « RECEPTION OF THE Prince or Wates. 1s New Yorx.— The following piece of intelligence has been sent to us for publication by some of the parties concerned:— ‘The foreign residents of New York are making arrange- ments with the Lelands, of the litan Hotel, to ive a grand jon and ball in honor of the Prince of alee, ‘It will surpass the great ball spent nine: by the city authorities to the Japanese Embassy. com: pany will be the most sciect aud elegant ever assembled in the United States. Now, we should like to know why a ball to the Prince should be given by the foreign residents exclusively, or why any invidi- ous distinction should be made between natives and foreigners. Do a handful of English residents mean to monopo- lize the Prince among themselves on the ground that they are “most select and ele- gant?” What right have they to anticipate the action of the people of New York, or to exclude those who are as respectable as themselves from participating in the compliment. Let us have go such narrow affair as this. It would be mean in the last degree to the American ladies, who know how to appreciate the distin- guished stranger as well as English women or any other women in the world. The proposition to make the ball emanate from foreign residents in the city is, moreover, areflection upon American hospitality which is entirely uncalled for. Tae Spmir or Tue Campaion—Henry A. Wise.—Among a mass of correspondence ex- hibiting the spirit of the campaign, we publish a letter from Norfolk, Va., giving the views of Governor Wise. After a long silence the Governor has recovered the use of his speech, and though he has not spoken himself in public, he has delivered his sentiments in private to his son, and authorized him to pronounce in favor of Breckinridge and Lane. It would have been more satisfactory if Mr. Wise had spoken himself; but as ilimess prevented him, he did the next best thing that could be done under the circumstances. The position of affairs fp the South, the divided and distracted state of the democratic party, the fear that if two demecratic tickets should be run in Virginia and other Southern States Bell and Everett would obtain the electoral vote of those States, has hitherto paralyzed the tongue and pen of Wise, who has been always so prompt in his decisions and so swift inaction. Of all the Southern leaders he is the most quick in per- ception and the most rapid in his political com- binations. His silence was, therefore, ominous and significant. He speaks out at last; but, strange to say, just as he does, the news from North Carolina speaks in a different tone. If the State should go as the returns from the elec- tion 80 far indicate, it is of very small conse- quence what Governor Wise says or does, for as North Carolina goes the greater part of the South will probably go. If the election in that State should be in favor of the Union party, it is but the prelude to the success of the Presi- dential Bell ticket in November next, and the evidence of the strength of the current of revo- lation which cannot be stemmed by Wise or any of the other democratic leaders in the South.
