She brings the passengers, mails and $800,000 in treasure, which left San Francisco on the 21st ult. Her ad- vices from California have been anticipated by the overland express, and she brings no news from South or Centra! America, excepting from New Granada. The Legislature of Panama met on the Ist inst., and the Governor's message declares that in case Mosquera succeeds in overthrowing Ospina's government, Panama will at once de- clare herself independent. This sentiment was well received by the members. Another item is the arrest of Mr. Blum, an Ameri- can citizen residing at Buenaventura, for refusing to meet a note given some time since to the Custom House authorities of Buena- ventura for duties. Fifty of the foreign resi- dents of Panama had solicited the prompt interfe- rence of the United States Consul, who was al- ready investigating the subject, and promised that strict justice should be rendered to Mr. Blum. There is not a word from the interior, and no news from the contending parties since the victory of Herran in Santander, which is coniirmed. By a letter received from Manzanilla, on the Isthmus of Panama, dated August 27, the escape of General Uraga from Guadalajara is spoken of as certain. The sloop-of-war Brooklyn, with the United States surveying party known as the Chiriqui Commis- sion, arrived at Bocadel Toro on the 234 ult., all well. We have received a telegraphic despatch from Charleston, to the effect that Mr. Moncada, Span- ish Consul in that city, offers a large reward for the apprehension of one Jose Solano Alvear, who has absconded from Havana with a million and a half of dollars of private funds entrusted to him in his ca- pacity of Havana agent of the Credito Espanol, of Madrid. The Douglas democratic demonstration and bar- beeue at Jones’ Wood yesterday was a grand af- fair. Mr. Douglas and Mr. Johnson, the candidates for President and Vice President, were there, and made speeches, as did also Mr. Morehead, of Ken- | tacky, and others. There were between fifteen and | twenty thousand people on the ground, and music, roast ox, banners and artillery, and several pro- miscuous fights, to enliven the scene, See our re- port in to-day’s paper. The Massachusetts Democratic State Con- vention met at Springfield yesterday. The Breckinridge men abandoned the meeting, and the Convention nominated a State ticket, beaded with the name of Erastus D. Beach for Governor. Presidential electors at large were also nominated, and resolutions in accord with the Douglas platform were adopted. The Breckin- ridge State Convention, and the Bell Sverett State Convention, respectively, met at Boston and North- ampton yesterday. The Breckinridge democracy of Connecticut as- sembled at New Haven yesterday and nominated an electoral ticket. The nominees were instructed to vote for Breckinridge, if their votes will elect him, and failing in this, for any man that will de- feat Lincoln. The bark Weather Gage, which has been loading at pier 44 North river, hauled out on Tuesday even- ing and anchored ander Jersey City. Suspicions being entertained that she was about to be en- gaged in the slave trade, Surveyor Hart yesterday proc on board and seized her. She remains in charge of the officers until an investigation can be bad. The Emigration Commissioners adopted a reso- lution yesterday increasing the salary of Dr. Ster- ling, the medical examiner at Castle Garden, from $1,200 to $1,500 per annum. A resolution was adopted on the subject of making more ample and proper provision for the comfort and safe keep- ing of the inmates on Ward's islands, by alterations and additions to the southerly brick building for that purpose, and that the subject be referred to the Ward's Island Committee to report to the Board. Mr. Curtis informed the Board that there are .between 200 and on Blackwell's and Ward's Island at pr that there are a large number in different parts of the State which cost the Commissioners three dollars a week each, which will be considerably reduced by bringing them to Ward's Island and taking care of them there in the southerly brickjbuilding if it be enlarged. The number of emigrants landed bere | during the past week was 2,442, which makes tae whole number for the present year so far, 74,991. ‘The commutation balance is now $15,536 92. Colonel Christian Schwarzwaelder, of the Fifth regiment, Jefferson Guard, was the recipient of a very elegant and weil deserved testimonial—con- ainting of a solid silver toa service— yesterday, @ gift from the field, staff and line officers of his com mand.

We have been | brought to this state of things by the unwise | conduct and exaggerated ideas of the small Southern se well as Northern’ politicians, who, | by the mere force of numbers, have gained | Possession of political party organizations all ! over the country, and, using them for their own | petty and gelfish purposes, have driven states- ‘men and men of intellect from position in the councils of government and the leadership | of parties. What does a retrospect of our po- | litical history for the past ten years show? The Compromise of 1850 was a measure conceived and cartied out in the true spirit of political wisdom that animated our forefathers | in the declaration of our independence, | the establishment of the confederation, the adoption of the constitution, and the settlement of sectional discords in 1820, when the Union | was carried to the verge of dissolution by agra- | rian agitators and demagogues. In the battle } for its acceptance, the giant intellects of the past generation, who had often stood in oppos- ing array on questions of minor policy—Benton, Calhoun, Cass, Clay, Webster, and a host of colleagues—fought side by side in the Senate, and secured the victory for the cause of politi- cal wisdom and national statesmanship. It was the last great act of the last generation, the ge- neration of expounders of the constitution. Since then what do we find in the history of our political developement? The past ten years exhibit only petty politicians, striving for power through the devious ways of local and sectional agitation. From the South there have been sent to the halls of Congress only men possessed of one idea—that the institution of African slavery is the perfection of all social organization—and the measures they have ini- tiated, and the policy of government they have endeavored to establish, have corresponded to this narrow basis of their public action. Their constant talk has been about “paramount Southern rights,” their policy has been a Southern league, their propagandism has aimed at familiarizing the idea of a dissolution of the Union to their constituents. In the impractical stipulations of the Kansas Nebraska bill, in the openly proclaimed policy of Southern ex- | tension for the purpore of extending the insti-, | tution of slavéry, in am insane advocacy of a | reopening of the African slave trade, in spite of the evident spirit of the age, they have com- | mitted themselves, and the people they repre- | sent, toa policy and measures that would be | destructive to their own interests if successful, | and which could not attain a possible tempora- | ry success without violating natural laws and | influences which would overwhelm them with | ultimate defeat. A similar sbortsightedness and want of states- manship have created a like contracted and transitory political growth in the North. The statesmen of old have been displaced by dema- gogues of one idea—that African slavery isa great moral, social and political evil—and all their measures and all their policy have been directed to the stimulating of a political warfare againet it. The halls of Congress have been filled with propagandists of this one idea; the people have been taught to believe that their highest political duties consist in abolish- ing slavery everywhere, and the popular catch- words of “free soil, free speech and free men” have ripened into the declaration of an “irre- pressible conflict; the incendiary teachings of Helper, recommended by sixty-eight Northern members of Congress; the theory of Spooner, endorsed by Seward, that every slave can be liberated by habeas corpus; the raid of John Brown into the South, and the initiation of the reign of terror from Virginia to Texas. This is the course and tendency of the black republi- can party. Not that every black republican is a revolutionary abolitionist. There are many men among them who are conservative, with whom the feeling of anti-slavery is a sentiment rather than a principle of political actioa: but the ultra radicals and abolitionists have se- cured the control of their party organization, and are determined to exercise it. These sectionalista and extreme agitators do | not poasess the support of the majority of the | people; but the divisions among the conserva- | tive masses, through the selfish and personal | claims of the narrow-minded politicians who | bave swarmed in al! the political organizations, are presenting the prize of victory to the most rabid and destructive of the fanatical minori- ties. It may be thet the conservative masses of New York and ‘he Central States may yet save the government from the clutch of the abolitionists who are bent on making war on the rights of the South, But the chance is a | single one, and our own demagogues seem bent om destroying it. It is time, therefore, for the men of the South to consider what they will do in the event of Lincoln's election, and the prospective administration of the federal government on principles of irreconcilable hostility to the social organization of fifteen sovereign States. Mr. Seward has announced the programme of Lincoln's Cabinet, in his re- cent speeches in Michigan, and there can be no doubt of what, under such guidance, the future has in store for them. ‘The men of the South should come at once | to the consideration of this question, not in hot blood, not with petty and narrow-minded NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, “ieee ~ wrod, comprehensive sad philosophic spirit, as patriots and as states- men laboring fur the good of future genera- tions es well as of the present, Let them calmly look the future in the face, and set their hovse in erder for the contingencies that now seem to be unavoidable. And it will be well for the men of New York and Pennsylvania, whose vast interests are protected only by the fraternity of all within the Union, to consider | whut will be the effect upon themselves of the administration of the federal government in a | spirit of hostility to a large section of the country, where an abolition agitation will break up trade and credit and shake the very foundations of the social edifice. We are on the verge of grave events, to which we have been brougbt by narrow-minded politicians and sel- fish demagogues. It is time for the country, North as well as South, to pause, to consider what it ia about to do, and to prepare for the disasters that will follow. Ove Apverrisisa News Corcmys.—The s4- vertising columns of the HexaLp present 4 very curiéus picture of life in the metropolis, more interesting, too, and more vitally impor- tant to multitudes of people, than many of our readers may suppose. In our triple sheets we give seventy-two columns of reading matter; but that portion of the paper devoted to what is tranepiring in the world in the shape of pews and editorials is, after all, aot the only news department of the paper. The adver- tising columns contain, perhaps, as much in- formation of the doings of the commanity in which we live es any other part of the paper— the wants, desires, occupations of our people— a photograph, as it were, of daily life in New York. Here, for example, is the list of the ad- vertisements which appeared ia the editions of yesterday:— LIST? AND NUMBER OF ADVERTISEMENTS PUBLISHED HERALD OF ptt 12, 1860. ~ = BS ones SB SeennBS ow re wEen aBE | Be Sewl Saale BuBeancad he Total number of hdvertisements................ 1,191 Here are nearly twelve hundred people speaking their wants and announcing their business in one day; for be it remembered that these are nearly all fresh advertisements, banded in and paid for over the counter the day before yesterday, which are all read with ayidity by some one—not like the advertise- ments in other journals, which stand for a month, or it may be a year, until they become stale. These advertisements belong to the day on which they appear, and compose a part of the life and the news thereof, like any other matter in the paper-to many people more in- teresting and more important. No portion of a great metropolitan journal, then, is dead mat- ter ; even the advertising columns, which many suppose to be dull and tedious, are full of life and interest, and fresh every day. Tue Curar Press my Encianp axp Awer- 1ca—Among the most promising reforms in England, and the most encouraging symptoms of her progress towards the full developement of the freedom of the people, which hitherto has been of very slow growth, is the adoption of a cheap popu- lar press in London, after the example of New York. Here the monopoly of a high priced, worthless, sncbbish journalism existed as well as in London. But here it was overshadowed by the enterprise of individuals who established a cheap and vigorous press for the people; whereas in London the change is due to the re- moval of the stamp duty from newspapers, against which the aristocratic papers contended, though it removes a burthen of one penny (two cents) per copy from themselves. Foremost among the cheap English papers is the London Morning Star, which is now estab- lished for a period of five years, has a large cir- culation, is extremely democratic in its views, and has been eminently successful. It wages incessant war against the privileged classes who are pensioned upon the people, and it stands up boldly for the rights of the masses, | and the overthrow of time-honored abuses by the advancing waves of freedom and civiliza- tion. The aristocratic journaliste—and chief among them the Morning Post—turn up their noses at the cheap papers, which are in the hands of the people. But these powerful poli- tical engines are gradually and steadily work- ing a revolution in the country, by diffaus ing intelligence among the masses, who ne- | ver touch journals of eight cent respect ability, like the Post. The cheap pa pers can afford to laugh at the assumption of the old tory stilted press, which ministers to the pride and passions and interests of the aris- tocracy who patronise it. They feel their strength lies ia the march of intellect and in the pulsations of the popular heart, and that it is no longer in the power of the titled nobili- ty to crush a free and popular press, nor to ar- rest the progress of that mighty movement which will result in the consummation of a second revolution. completing what the revo- lution of 1688 lef undone. The firet laid low the divine right of kings; the second, if it do not abolish the House of Lords, will so reduce its power as to render it mor@ compatible with the right» of the people, and will sweep away the most obnoxious remnants of feudalism. This progrées is owing ina great degree to the increased intercourse of England with the United States in recent years, Here, in this city, twenty-five years ago, there was 4 preten- tious sixpenny press, which gave no intelligence to the people, and was chiefly read by a few snobs. A cheap presse was then established, which has grown up into an institution furnish ing the earliest and most reliable intelligence to the people of all that happens, and it is not | only read by the multitude in this great metro- polis, but by thousands in every part of the country, while the sixpenny journals are scarce- ly ever seen, unless in the bands of a few old fogy gentlemen who are bebind the age. The cheap press here possesses a power for good commensurate with ite circulation. It is true | there are no organic reforms needed, no aristo- SEPTEMDAN 15 1860.—TRIPLE cratic castes to be reduced to the republican level; our powerless codfish aristocracy ouly Present objects of good natured ridicule when they exhibit their weaknesses; but there are evils of a different kind to be combatted, there are vices and corruptions to be exposed, and there is a tendency to licentiousness and revolution, arising from the very nature of a perfectly free government, and this itis the mission of our cheap press to check. The purpose of the cbeap journals in England is political revolu- tion, Here the duty of the cheap press is to prevent it. The New Yorr Herat is conser- vative—the London Morning Star auti couser- vative and radical. Electioncering Spoiis—Political Mendi- cants from Pennsylvania. As Christian pilghims of al persuasions and from a)l quarters of the globe gather together at the Holy Sepulchre, so do the money collect- ing agents of all sorts of schemes, societies, companies and political factions bend their steps to the city of New York, under the idea thet here they willbe amply repaid for their journey and their labors. But of all these in- numerable classes of money beggars, the politi- cal wendicants who come over bere from Penn- sylvania, from time to time, during every Presi most impudent and the mest contemptible. Recently a gang of these precious Peansylva- nia customers applied to some of the flaancial chiefs of our city demio¢racy’ for a modest con- tribution of fifty thousand dollars, wherewith to secure their powerful State to the party in their approaching October and November elec tions. But no attention having been paid to this demand, it was, after some days’ reflection cut down to the figure of twenty thousand. This reduction failing in its turn to pro duce a draft upon Wall street, the bill, we understand, has been graciously razeed to ten thousand. At this rate we suspect that the applicants, in the end, if they can get nothing better, will be satisfied te follow the example of that famous philosopher who applied to Gen. Jackson in the outset for the mission to England, and was content at last to leave Wash- ington with the present of aa old pair of breeches. We therefore admonish our New York democratic fioanciers to shut their eyes to the doleful petitions of said Pennsylvania party mendicants, for every penny of the money which they ask, and much more, will be needed to rescue New York from the grasp of the black republicans, fh this connection there are certain facts touching the campaign of 1856 in Pennsylvania which should not be overlooked. For the party objects of that campaign there was a certain Chevalier Forney entrusted with the disburse- ment of funds raised in this city, to the extent of some fifty thousand dollars or more. Many in- nocent people have supposed that Forney’s ex- penditure of that money, in buying up certain hungry Know Nothing lodges, saved the Swate. This fact, however, has never been establish- ed. We know, from the late Congressional Co- vode Investigating Committes, that Forney got the money and appropriated it; but having burn- ed the vouchers of his disbursements, we know no more. On the other side, in the same cam- paign, there was a financial agent of the name twenty thousand dollars in bebalf of the Fre- mont cause in Pennsylvania. Near the close of the canvass he produced, as we know, vouchers of purchases made of a dozen little Know Nothing Pennsylvania newspapers, more or Jess, at cash prices, ranging from two hundred to five hundred dollars; but, to the best of our recollection, there was a remaining balance of some fifteen thousand dollarsgof his capital stock for which he never produced, apd was never required to produce, any vouchers at all. From this case of Forney, and this case of Ford, the inference is natural enough that the lion’s share of these political party contribu- tions, to save the State of Pennsylvania, goes into the capacious pockets of the disbursing agents thereof, as so much legitimate spoils and plunder. Consequently it de- volves upon our New York political finan- ciers tg keep to the windward of these suspi- cious Pennsylvania privateers until they reduce their demands to the reasonable margin of old as the Pennsylvanians are incessantly blowing and crowing about the great wealth and inex- haustible resources of their glorious old State, in iron, coal and petroleum, why is it that they cannot raise their electioneering funds among themselves ° At all events, let them keep away their demo- cratic mendicants from New York this time; for ali the funds that can be raised among our mercantile democracy will be wanted at home Indeed, as the brunt of this battle is thrown upon New York, we should think that the sly old wealthy democratic codgers of Pennsylva- nia would only be doing one good turn for many in hauling ont from their hiding places those old, long, blue yarn stockings ful! of gold, for the purpose of giving a generous lift in this crisis to the conservative canse in New York. Boony Brooxs iv Font, Fratien.—For some days past the newspapers have been publishing a letter from the Hon. James Brooks, formerly a member of Congress from this city. and editor of an evening newspaper, to the President of character, we thongbt was a bogus document— | 9 practical joke of some funny fellow or other; but this is not so; for, from the fact that Mr. Brooks’ own organ publishes and adopts it, it appears that the letter is genuine. It is about | the most impndent and absurd affair ever pub- lished. Here is the letter:— New Yous, Sept, 8, 1860, To rus Presmxst or mus Ustrep Stars — Maine | \ i ff i isi f ite ik ¥: cn positon of th.

' the United States, which, from ite extraordinary | =... ber that some madman wrote a few letters busing Old Hickory, and they succeeded to perfection in killing off the writer, an object for which they were not at all intended, of course, Forney hus written eome letters addressed to the President. of a very abusive and vulgar character, as might be expected from that source, after enjoying his friendship and favors for about fort? years, a6 a grateful return for all the kindness which he received from his best friend. George Sanders has also recently written a letter to the President, more infamous than famous for its vitaperation and silliness, after receiving an office from the man he now abuses; but this document of Brooks’ beats them all for its insolence and stupidity. Some years ago, in describing the mental calibre of the Hon. James Brooks, not having time to portray his character with that detailed accuraoy which one devotes to men of importance and mark in the world, we desig. nated him as “Booby” Brooks, thinking that the phrase embodied about all that was necessary in order to convey a comprehensive idea of the individual ; but some people thought that we were too bard upon him. After reading this letter, however, perhaps they may think that we were not short ef the mark at all. It is not very long since Mr, Brooks, in dential canvass, to collect the sinews of war for | bis paper, was abusing the President for inter- party purposes in the Keystone State, are the | fering in eome local election or other, and now he is abusing bim for not interfering with the election in Maine. Who but a consummate booby could eign his name to such a letter as this? Cocst Persieny’s Peact Srsecu.—The speech of Count de Persigny at the opening sitting o° the Council General of the dgpartment of the Loire. on the 28th ult.. is, we presume, intended as another imperial peace manifesto, It does not seem, however, to have produced a very inspirit- ing effect on the Paris or London money market. Threatening pamphlets and pacific speeches follow each other in such rapid succession that people have begun to regard each new issue with pretty much the same amused in- creduloueness with which they would look upon the performances of a professor of legerdemain. They are tickled with the cleverness of the de- ception, and wonder what is to come next. Ab! if the wise ones could only tell. M. de Persigny sets out by stating that he is about to examine the probabilities of peace being maintained; but after attentively follow- ing him through his positions we own that we are unable to arrive with him at the conclusion that “the military réle of France in Europe is at an end.” His speech is simply a vindication of what has been done in the past by his master, but contains no pledge as to his policy for the fu- ture. He assures us it is true that with the sub- version of the political system of 1815 the work of France is achieved and the mission of the new empire accomplished. But are these state- ments definite as to their meaning? There re- mains of the arrangements of 1815 sufficient to give employment to the restless energies of the Emperor and to convulse Europe in the effort Burope is at an end?” Unless these points re- ceive a clearer elucidation than is contained in the vague generalisms in which M. de Persigny indulges, we cannot regard as apy more certain than before the peaceful prospects that he bolds out to Europe. ‘The truth is that the French Emperor, hav- ing set the ball of revolution in motion, is pre- pared to take advantage of events without re- gard to the empty phrases with which he amuses the world from time to time. Just as he modestly tells us that it was Europe itself that has subverted the treaties of 1815, he will by and by assure us, in making another baul of territory, that he has been forced to it by cir- cumstances that be bas bad no hand in creat- ing. Such is his mode of arriving’nt his ob- jects. A very Urish Heep among the pro- fessors of kingcraft, he is most to be distrusted when he is in the self-deprecatory mood. Tur Prooness or THe Privce or Wates— Preranations ror THe Batt.—-All’s well that ends well, and therefore everybody ought to be delighted to know that the Orange colored clond which for a moment obscured the sun of royalty in Canada bas been dispersed. The famous Orange arch at Toronto is, we are in- formed, “very much dilapidated;” the “no sur- render” fellows at Belleville have caved in and implored the Prince to return; the Dake of Newcastle has made everything pleasant with | the Mayor of Toronto, and the men who were the leaders of the rebellious Orangemen have | thrown up their caps the highest of all who have done homage to the true Prince. As for the city of New York, the great pro- diem of what shall be done with the Prince, or rather the Baron Renfrew—as he drops all | Toyal state after crossing the frontier—has been duly solved. We are to give him a ball, a mili- tary review anda firemen’s parade. Heis to live at the Fifth Avenue Hotel in the same way ‘as any other traveller. As to his reception, it appears that the Canadian troubles of the vice. regal party were much aggravated by the in- competence of municipal officials, and that New York is not the only city that is cursed with vulgar, ill-bred, incompetent and thick-headed Aldermen. Tbus the debate in the Kingston “Common Council is quite equal in its way to anything that our conscript fathers ever did. It fe a clear case of archdes ambo between the pair of them. In consequence of this circumstance, and in view of the fact that the visit of the Prince is rather an important matter for us, we have concluded to manage the affair without the aid of the Common Council. The Mayor will do the civic honors in a quiet, gentlemanly way; but the Aldermen will be entirely ignored, un- lees go to work immediately and mend their If presentable they may be in- During Jackson's administration we remem- | yited to meet the Pringe at the City Tiall. They must, however, come well washed end clean shaved; chewiig tobacco in the presence is strictly prohibited, under paln of immediate expuision; it will be required, like- wise, that each of the “fathers” will refrain from erdent spirits during the week previous to the affuir, as at least that time will be requir- ed before they can be thoroughly or “cold’’ sober; they will be careful to keep their noses clean, to have their boote polished and to wear gloves (there must be some of the Japanese in- voige left); they will also be required to give security that none of thelr ‘intimate personal friends inethe ward” will attempt to pick the pockets of the noblemen in the Prince’s suite; upon no account must any Alderman or Coua- cilman open his mouth, as he would be sure te put bis foot ia it. By etrict attention to the line of conduct marked out abeve, our elegant and accomplished friends of the Hal! may manoge to pass muster in the crowd. In the matter of the ball the Aldermen are te be in state of strict quarantine. No persons \wearlug white bate, yellow gloves and bine coats with brass buttons are to be permit- ted within gunshot of Irving ca the eventful night of that affair. The list of managers, which we reprint eleewhere, does not contain the name of single member of the Corporation. They had their fling atthe Japanese ball, and a nice mess they made of it, Now, the citizens, disgusted with the vulgarity and shameful extravagance of the Aldermen, bave taken matters into their own hands, snd will epend their own money in their own way. And that is the only means by which the Aldee- men can be made to understand how contempti- ble they have made themselves and the govern- ment they pretend to administer. Never was a cut beater or more decided. Let us hope that its effect will be salutary. As to the ball itself, everybody is quite agreed that ‘it will be a grand affair. It is im- tended to make this féte as splendid as the Eu- ropean court balls, without their stateliness and tiresome formalities. In one, and a most important respect, we can outshine any court. ‘ We refer to the fair dames an@ demoi- relles who will grace the Academy with the lustre of their presence. The most dis- tinguished foreigners—those who can find nothing elee good in America—are unanimous in praise of the beauty of our women. The Prince, who seems to be a susceptible young man, will be captivated beyond doubt.
