We have not space to publish all the long | argumentative documents which the several political committees are putting forth to defend | their own positions and to attract voters, and | therefore the most we can do is to present whatever live ideas they contain to our readers in a condensed form. Each of these addresses contains some good matter in these times of political revolution and change. That of the National Committee is addressed “to the friends | of American industry, especially in the States of Pennsylvania and New Jersey,’’ and opens with a sensible retrospective glance at the history of politics during the last ten years, , It shows how the ‘slavery question has been sedulously appropriated by sectional political 1 leaders, until the honest judgmehts of men in both sections of the country have been perverted and misapplied, to an attempt to | array the two extremes in hostile attitude to | wards each other. Through: the unwise course of the democratic party, in assuming to be the peculiar champion of Southern rights, it shows that it lost the confidence and support of the Northern people, “numbers of whom were in- duced temporarily to array themselves in the ranks of the republican organization.” ‘The great changes that have been made in the aims and objects of the republican party are then set forth. At first springing into ex- istence from the opening of that box of Pan- dora, the Kapsas-Nebraska bill, “it made the practical restoration of the Missouri compro- | mise line the sole and avowed end of its ex- istence.”” | attained its mission would be ended; and in | this belief “multitudes of conservative citizens | | at the North gave in their adhesion to the new organization’ In the last Presidential elec- tion the new party erected, as its sole criterion of political fellowship, the reclamation of | Kansas from the encroachments of slavery. | This object is attained—Kansas is free; and now the republican party aban- dons its old position, and proclaims “an internecine war between the North and One other point in the course of the black republican leaders is presented trathful- ly. The “friends of American industry” are | called to contemplate the radical division ex- isting, not only among the rank aad file, but also among the chiefs of the black republicans, on the tariff question, and how antagonistic are the two schools represented by the New York | Tritune and the New York Evening Post. The twelfth resolution of the black republican plat- form is exposed in its double meaning, and the people are called to observe that these political organs have merely made a peace which is to | endure no longer than the struggle for office: that once attained their war will begin. In the address of the Union Electoral Com- mittee similar ground is gone over, and the anomaly of perpetuating party divisions among the conservatives, in order to permit the elec- tion of a sectional President by a minority of one million of the people, is peintedly referred to, The design of the black republican party “to overthrow slavery in the States, or, failing in that, to overthrow the Union itself,” is unmistakably condemned, and the North- era people are called upon to exhibit the same fraternal feelings which the recent elections in the South have shown to exist there, where “the latent love of Union bas burst forth with new and surprising force.” Both adresses call for a restoration of peace to the country by the putting down of fanatic sec- tionalism in the North as well as in the South. These addresses both exhibit another evi- dence of good sense on the part of those who have got them up. They have not lost sight of the great fact that the object of a union among the conservatives is to defeat the elec- tion of Lincoln—a violent sectionalist and a funatic. The other conservative candidates are accordingly spoken kindly of, and their parti- sans are cordially invited to unite in the one great object which ail should have first at heart. There is a danger in endeavoring to make the principles of this or that school of politicians too prominent in the combinations on a union ticket, which the Bell men, as well as all the others, will do well to avoid. There are thou- sands of voters ready to cast their ballots fa any feasible union to prevent the elec- tion of a sectional minority President, as Lincoln would be if elected, who are not ready to go into any scheme to further designs of the political managers for Bell, Breckinridge or Douglas. This is the view that today animates the great majority of the people of New York. They are determined that the vote of the Em- pire State shall not be cast for a practical black republican disunionist any more than for a Southern Yancey disunionist. That is the sentiment which we call upon the vast com- mercial and industrial public of this city to come out and express, in a public meeting wortby of the metropolitan centre of the Union. Let the friends of Union move in a way that all can co-operate with them, and sink, in view of the crisis in our national affairs, the partisan and the local politician, Tue Late Paesners.—A great deal of pro- perty has been destroyed by the recent heavy rains, by which various parts of the country have been visited.

The career of Mr. Ten Broeck’s horses in England has not been a brilliant one | in a racing point of view—that is, they have been often entered against English thorough- breds, and have been almost invariably unsic- cessful. At the same time, however, it must be acknowledged that the visit of the American | borsts in England hae attracted attention to our stock, and incited gentlemen farmers and | others to emulate each other in the breeding | and rearing of fine animals, As the country has increased in population and wealth, the de- mand for fine horses has been greatly | augmented. In the metropolis alone there are a hundred private equipages where there was one ten years ago, and there | is a corresponding increase all over the country. The opening of a portion of the Cen- tral Park has created such a demand for saddle horses that it is very dificult to obtain a good ene for love or money; but that difficulty will soon be remedied. Then, again, many of our best horses are sold to foreign eustomers, and among the best of them is the Emperor of the French, The Imperial stud ia known to be the | best in Europe, and contains four hundred i} | horses, of all breeds and nativities. The Em horses in a light open phwton. Like his uncle, he always wishes to go fast, and he may be seen almost any fine day dashing through the Bois de Boulogne or the Park at St. Cloud, with a pair of fast trotters, “raised in Vermont.” Latterly he has purchased, through M. Mer- cier, the French Minister here, five more Ver- mile together in a little under three minutes. With these accessions, the Emperor's stud wiil | contain twenty-nine American horses. course the Imperial example is imitated by the | trotters in and about Paris must be very con- | siderable. Havana, also, is a very excellent | market for our horses, and many are sold at | | very high prices to Mexicans and South Ameri- cans. While the American horse has been improv- | ing in beauty, style, speed and endurance, the | old love of racing seems to have been dying out. Asin England, the turf here appears to | bave fallen into the hands of gamblers and per- | sons with whom gentlemen will not associate. | | A better method of testing the quality of ‘the | horse bas been instituted, and with the most ventions which have become so common all | over the country. The first of these unique af- | fairs took place at Springfield, five years ago, | | under the patronage of the late Abbott Law- | rence and other gentlemen of high character. The show was so successful that three others have since been given at the same place, and the fourth is to take place during the firat week of September next, when a very large sum will be distributed in premiums. There will be an immense number of horses on the ground from all parts of the country. We have | received, also, programmes of the “ Third National Exhibition of Horses at Kalamazoo, Michigan, on September 11, 12, 15 and 14 next.” The Michiganders give six thon- eand five hundred dollars in premiums, in- cluding one thousand to the best trotting stal- lion under six years old and two thousand “ for the fastest horse of any age or sex.” The Northwestern Horse Growers’ Association will give their second annual show at Waukegan, Illinois, on next Wednesday and Thursday. On the was commenced at North Andover, Massacha- setts, and some eccentric Bostonian introduced , a new feature by offering a premium for the “slowest horse.” The California State Agri- cultural Society gives liberal premiums for horses exhibited at its Seventh Annual Fair, at Sacramento, September 19 to 26, and nearly all the State and county fairs throughout the Union have gone into the horse trotting busi- relief to the tedinm inseparable from such affuirs, gives the horse dealer an excellent chance to sbow off his best stock, and pro- standard of excellence being so high as to ex- clude all inferior animals. It may be well enough to remark, in conclusion, th our horses are bred for hard work, and that while been deteriorating, on account of being trained too finely, and for speed alone. American horse stock is consequently the very best in so market. Trave anv Porsrics.—The fall trade has set in with great activity. This week, the busiest | thus far, the returns of the imports and exports (more particularly in specie) will show no doubt attributable in a great measure to the influence which the Bell and Everett move- ment in this State has had upon the Southern merchants, They feel now that there is a reasonable hope that the conservative sentiment of the North will be enabled to defeat the treasonable echemes of the black republicans, and to place in the Presiden- tial chair a man well affected towards Southera interests, They therefore buy freely from all but abolitionist houses, and consequently a large amount of Southern money will be spent here this season. What the effect will be should Lincoln be elected, we shall, of course, only be able to tell next fall. That it will be such as to cause great suffering and a powerful reaction amongst those who may be seduced into the ranks of the disunionists and traitors, it requires, however, no great sagacity to pre- dict.

The fact is | Oor Central Gold Rani Pike's Peam Mintug District. We publish to day an accurate and interest- ing history of the discovery of gold on the | eastern slope of the Rocky Mountatus, and of the subsequent operations of the gold hunters, with the Istest intelligence from that region, and a carefully prepared map of the mining district. It seems that so long ago as 1548 the first trace of gold was discovered by some Cherokee hunters on the banks of the stream known as | Cache-la- Poudre, one of the tributaries of the South Platte. The following summer similar evidence of the existence of gold in the Pike's Peak district was reported by another expedi- tion. The facts were made known to some set- tlers in the Indian country who had formerly been residents of the gold mining district of Georgia, and by them they were communicated to some friends in their native State. These latter determined to explore the country where the reported discoveries were made, but were prevented from carrying out their design until 1858, when a party was formed under the lead- ership of one Green Russell, whose name has been given to diggings discovered by the party. ; About the same time (spring, 1858) a Delaware | Indian offered for sale in the town of Lawrence, in Kansas Territory, some scale gold which he said be had found on the sonrces of the South Platte. The news spread, and within a few months numerous companies were formed in Kansas, Nebraska and Missouri to prospect the eastern slope of the Rocky | Mountains. The Georgia and the Lawrence | companies united in the neighborhood of what is now Denver City. Gold was discovered, but | in small quantities, and many of the gold seek- | ers returned to the settlements disappoiated | and disheartened. | This occurred only. two years ago. Since then the gold fever has several times increased | almost to the degree in which the California | gold fever raged ten or twelve years before, | and it has as often subsided. But, on the whole, stich encouragement was held out to our enter- prising population as to cause a very large ia- flux of immigrants to this central gold region. The extent of the movement may be judged of | from the fuct that @uring the month of Muy | lust no leas than seven thousand teams passed | through Denver City on their way to the dig- gings: and it is estimated that from the Ist of February last to the ist of August sixty thou- sand immigrants had arrived, most of whom were bound for the Tarryall and Blue river dig- | gings, in the neighborhood of the South Park. And now, in the language of oue of our cor- | respondents, the countless tributaries of the | Grand and Green rivers, on the western slope, | and the sources of the South Platte and Ar. kansas, are fairly lined with miners and pros- | pectors. It does rot appear, however, that the fortune | of these adventurous spirits differs materially from that which fell to the lot of the earliest California and Australian gold hunters. By far | the larger number have been and are doomed | to disappointment, although many are obtain- ing rich rewards. It is supposed thut there are no less than a couple of bundred quartz crueh- ing machines at work, but very few of them have turned out to be fortunate speculations. ) Still our correspondent informs us that the pay- ing mines, already discovered, are extensive enough to secure the permanent settlement of a mining community half way between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. The Pike's Peak gold crop of 1859-60 is estimated at one mil- lion of dollars, and already an assay and mint- ing office has been opened at Denver City, and is kept profitably employed. The growth of that mining town is equal to that of similar towns in Califoruia and Australia. On the Ist of November, 1858, it contained just bad grown up to a town of three hundred log houses. The first brick house was erected in it in October, 185%; and now it contains about eight bundred buildings and six thousand in- habitants. It bas five private banking houses, two daily and two weekly newspapers, and five stage lines. The Express Company which sup- plies postal facilities handled in one day 1,700 pany for the carriage of Eastern bound letters | amounted in the month of July to $4,227 about a dozen log houses.

No doubt a change of country air under proper conditions is good for health. But instead of rest and relaxation, the watering places are for the most part scenes of excitement, where car- nivals are carried on by fast men, fast women and fast horses, and night is turned into day, and excitement and dissipation are kept up till the “wee sma’ hours.” Many who go to the wa- tering places in good bealth retarn sick in body and mind, and date their ruin from their visit to these fashionable resorts. The charges for very indifferent food, and very badly cooked, are extreme. The system of gastronomy adopted has more relation to the pocket of the host than the stomach of the guest. The idea is not to increase but to diminish the appetite } of and amity with the | for substantial food, and that sort of cooking and those kinds of dishes which will produce euch a result are in high favor, The wa- tering places are famous for intrigues, for the opportunities are great, those having no sound education, and no men- tal resources, and having no means of employ- ing body or mind, are very apt to fall into sun- dry bas of the devil. 1 For Satan Le Jog mischief still For idle hands to There is no place the clergy are so much needed as at the fashionable watering resorts.

Would it not be a good ides for the New York clergy, who run away from their congregations every summer, to turn their attention to this field of evangelizing labor! The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few, Jenkins, of Solferino, and H. R. H. ————- give on. commerce sufficient pre-eminence in Japan over tat of nations whose wealth and greatness are founded in the colontat system. When writing on the subject of the negro slave and coolie trade, the London Times mournfully admits that the sceptre of the seas | has departed from British bands, and that Bri- tanaia no longer rules the waves as she did in We presume that our readers have not for- | other days. The young giant of the West hence- gotten the wonderful exploits of that distia- guished Chevalier Henry Jenkins Raymond | during the memorable Italian war—how our | yalorous cotemporary deported himself on the bloody field of Solferino ; how, after the battle was over, he recklessly exposed himself to the night air; bow he conducted the memorable re- treat when the suspicion of an Austrian hussar, three miles away, frightened the entire popula- tion of a small town out of their wits ; how he subsequently became entangled in the elbows of the Mincio ; how “ the question of a foreign fleet suddenly coming up cut off his question of citizenship;’ how he ascertained the exact facts as to the youthful sympathies of the famous river above mentioned, and did various other wonderful things too numerous to men- tion. All these have been thoroughly venti- lated, and a grateful public has been unaniméus in awarding to our quadrilateral cotemporary the combined honors of Mars and Clio. After such toils and such triumphs one would imagine that our Chevalier would settle down quietly, and dispense the very accurate information obtained during his stay in foreign parts. But great men are ever restless. Napoleon chafed and fretted against the bars of bis cage at St. Helena; no- body believes that Charles the Fifth was easy in his mind after he gave up his crown; and Bolingbroke, for the want of something to do, played at being Premier for a king out of em- ployment. And, like these great men, Jenkins is restless. He backs his cars like a war horse when he hears that the Prince of Wales is on the St. Lawrence, and as quickly as rail and steamboat can convey him he speeds towards the vice regal party. Bebold him, Jenkins, the hero of Solferino and the historian of the quadrilateral, at Que- bec. Read bis charming descriptions of the (féte, and it will be seen that the hand which penned the accounts of the great events in Piedmont and Lombardy hath not lost its cun- ning. In fact, the Chevalier’s style—so clear, 8o terse, £0 witty, so dignified, so chaste and so entertaining—improves, like Mudeira, with age. His personal descriptions are delightful. Jenkins had “a fall view of the youthful Guelph,” as he calls the Prince. when H. R. H. landed was “ splendid, sublime, wonderful, soul-subduing.” Jenkins then says, “T like him” (H. R. H. ought to feel highly flat- tered); “his head would indicate firmness, bene- volence, quickness of perception and love of music.” His “very large hands and feet are but reproductions of those of his royal mother; he “can't be easily fooled;” he isa “young boy from the island, only nineteen years old;” “he isa good boy,” saith the Chevalier, who pa- tronises the Prince, and thinks he willdo, We would be glad to know, however, Jenkins’ authority for the statement that when IL. R. If. dined with the Governor General he behaved “dignifiedly and with graceful courtesy.” Could the Chevalier have been hidden under fhe table? When the Prince went to church he wore “pants,” and “did as every one else did.” Jenkins is positive about all bis statements but one. When H.R. H. went to bed it is an nounced that he “probably” slept soundly. Why not bare swallowed that with the dinner? The Judges and Bishops came in for a share of Jenkins’ word painting. The Roman hie- rarchs “presented a gorgeous and unctious ap- pearance.” The Anglican prelates, “dressed in black silk gowns, with baggy sleeves, were more modest and unassuming in their beha viour.” The Judges were ‘jolly coves; and Jenkins evidently wishes it to be under stcod that he was on the most intimate with all the dignitaries, from the Prince down. We might select many more plums from the Chevaliers pudding, but even Jon bos get tiresome after one haa eaten a pound or two. But we trast that some enterprising publisher will take measures to present the works of Jenkins in a collected form. Ot course the vice regal party will not be as highly entertained with Jenkins as we, who know him so well, are, but even his deticlous stupidity cannot detract in any way from the dignity and importance of the Prince's visit to So far the future monarch of England bas been tavelling through his own dominions, receiving the most ampie proofs of the loyalty and devotion of his people. In a few weeks he will cross the frontier, and com- mence a tour through the model republic. Con- sidered as bearing uponthe possible future of England and America, the close commercial alli- ance between the two countries, and the fact that Albert Edward represents the only one of the five great Powers not bound in the chains | of absolutism, the vieit of the Prince of Wales is one of the most important events in the his tory of both countries. And ifhe can be pro- tected from Jenkins, as well as fromthe New York Aldermen, we have no doubt that his travels in this country will be as pleasant in a personal as they may be inrportant in a politi- cal point of view. Over Commence wirs Jaray.—The news which we published yesterday from Japan shows that the opening of that country by American enter- prise has already resulted in a wonderful amount of commerce between the United States and the once “hermetic empire.’ Americans are in high favor there, because the Japanese know from our history and our antecedents that we will oot plunder them of their property and despoil them of their territory and indepen- dence, as filibustering European Powers have done with the other nations of the East. They have found out that it is for their interest to United States—a security to them against the designs of the invaders of India and China. - Yet the American government has not and | opened the commerce of Jnpan for its | own citizens alone, but for all the world. | This gr st -cpublic has no petty jealousy of the commercial rivalry of any other pation.

Imrontant MovEMENTs iN CENTRAL AMERICA— Wa ker’s New Frusvarer anp Revo.orionary Exrepitiox.—Walker and some four or five hundred followers are once more on the soil of Central America. This time they are there under very remarkable auspices, as will be seen by the important correspondence from British Honduras which we publish in another part of to-day’s Heraup. The mode in which the expedition was secretly fitted out is almost as curious as is the origin of the enterprise. It seems that New Orleans was the focus of the movement, and that squads of twen- ties were sent from there in fruit vessels te Rustan, and landed on that island without exciting suspicion. Walker landed there himself one “fine day, collected his re- cruits, and crossed over to the mainland, Then, and not till then, did the British authori- ties appear to wake up. They sent the steamer Tearus after him; but, curiously enongh, the Icarus did not go where Walker and his men were to be found. Tt now turns out that it is not exclusively on Walker's own account that this piece of work has been taken in hand. In the first place, ex- President Cabanas is said to be anxious to ouat from tbe Presidential chair of Honduras the present incumbent, General Guardiola, and has employed Walker to do the fighting for him, That does not look to be an improbable story. In the second place, there are some very cu- tions developements taking place in the island of Ruatan, where the expedition rendezvoused. This island has been in the possession of the British for several years, but they have recently agreed to restore it to Honduras. This action is resisted by the British residents there, as well as by the native Hondurenos, and the commissioners who were recently sent to receive the island heard of the popular hos- tility, and they retarned without executing their mission. Nevertheless, Eugland seems determined, for some secret motive of her own, to abandon her sovereignty over the island, and has given notice that she was to do so at the close of last month, while preparations were being made by the foreign resi- j dents and native Hondurenos to establish in that event an independent government. Walker's expedition is somehow or other com- plicated with that movement, and his ultimate design, after settling the Cabanas succession and the Ruatan matter, is to march through Honduras to the invasion of Nicaragua. Whe- ther he will ever be allowed by the American or British governments to execute all or any of his designs is a question the answer to which may produce some very important results. Ie a communication from a resident of Hon duras, which we also publish, it is denied that Walker has the sympathy or will have the ald of Cabanos or the Liberal party of the country; and it is declared that Walker is universally hated there, and that if again captured his fate is sealed. This movement, therefore, differs very mate- rially from the former expeditions of Walker. Onr government has had its attention awaken- ed to the matter, and some of our vessels-of- war are on the alert, watching the develope- ment of events. The next news from that re- gion will be looked for with intense interest. It may acquaint us with the fall of Guardiola, the installation of Cubanas, and the departure of the filibusters for Nicaragua. Paocnrss or Tae Movemmyt Agaissr Na- ries.—The advices by the City of Baltimore confirm the statement contained in the private letters, to which we alluded yesterday, that Ga- ribaldi is on the mainland. The last accounts go eo far as to affirm that he had even been to Naples to confer with the revolutionary chiefs; and improbable as this may seem, it is not at all inconsistent with the during and adventurous character of the man. Besides, after all, in the present state of feeling in the capital, where the spirit of disaffection has seized even upon the public functionaries, there would not be much tisk in the Dictator committing his safety to the protection of the affiliated societies which have the direction of the movement. Seeing that the government is powerless to put down open manifestations of disloyalty on the part of the Neapolitan press, it is not likely that ite agents would be allowed an opportu- nity cf laying hands upon the man whom it would be worth a king's ransom to get into their clutches, Considering how little was to be gained by @ personal interview between Garibaldi and the revolutionary leaders in the capital, the report of his having visited them does not wear an air of much probability. What he might have wanted todo in person he could just as wel! have effected by deputy. There is nothing in the military defences of the city which required any preliminary examination, or which could not have been made clear te him by plans forwarded to him by the Central Committee, The fact we believe to be, what we stated yesterday, that the Dictator was rapidly advancing upon the capital at the head of his advanced force, which, we learn by the last accounts, had been strengthened by an ad- dition of eighteen hundred men. By this time he is in all probability at the gates of Naples, if not master of the city itself, for it required but his presence with a few troops to induce the inhabitants to shake off the yoke of the de- tested Bourbons and welcome him with opem arms as their deliverer, We sec it stated that Austria is about to re- pudiate the treaty of Villafranca, and to oppose Garibaldi in Naples. We have no doubt that the foothardiness of Francis Joseph has long be- | fore this prompted him to sucha step; bat | rulers have the inclination to do many things | which they have not the means to carry out. The fiscal difficulties of Austria are the best se- | curity that Europe can against her disposi- tion to complicate etill the embarrass | ments of which her own bigoted and obstinate policy has been the main cause. It would, per- heps, be well for Venice and Hungary that the | sho..ld disregard the restraints which a 7K | rapt treasury fmposes upon her.
