o WHOLE NO. 8775. A Compromise Ticket to be An Union Meeting Te- need at the Mo Quarter for the Green-Tucker Organization. Address of the Breckinridge State Committee, Bee Reoy ae ‘The ecb committee of the Douglas democracy remain ed in sestion at the 3t. Nicholas Hotel on Saturday until ‘Whe approach of Sunday, and labored more zeaiously than at any time previous. They went to work like wen having an important task before them, and, with the ‘aid of several prominent gentlemen, have succeeded, ‘with a little Sunday labor, in makingout a programme ‘which is considered acveptable to the leading merchants end Breckinridge men of this city,and hope to take qmough at least to break the backbone of the Green- ‘Toker organization, and place them where they will be Richmond, from his first appearance in this city, has talsed fusion, and has admitted that they ahoald make con- eeesions to the Breckinridge vote, or the merchants and Wusiness men of this city; but he bae, on the ether hand, object to making any compromise with the present Breckinridge State organization, and bas held a stiff apper lip whenever they were spoken ef. One of the main points that he was driving at in the fusion arrangement was to take from the Dickinson party all the moneyed interest and the bulk ef their vote, with- out taking the leaders, and giving them importance; his @esire was to kill them off and to have them out of the ‘way for the future. Thus the report of his own sub-com- maltice was rejected at once, the Volunteers were listened to ‘until it was found that they wanted the preseut Breckin- ridge organization recognized, and then turned them oil ‘and went to work by themselves. Having frat secured ‘their six vacancies, the question was by whom and how ‘were they to be filled. There being no organization that presented a ticket satisfactory to them, they were com- polled to take the matter in their own hands—a task which they had no objection to perform, especially when ‘there was the least prospect of laying out Green and Tucker, and, in the next place, of obtaining funds for the campaiga, which would, perhaps, enable them to secure a few more Congressmen than they had in the last Congress. After promising and postponing until almost everybody bad made up their mind, that they were to be humbugged, ‘and there would be no change in the electoral ticket, we are finally informed that “something hag been done,’ ‘and that we are to-night to have announced at the Union ratification meeting, at the Cooper Institute, a fusion Uoket, or rather a compromise ticket, that will be satis. factory to the merchants and business men of thie city. The negotiations were so far concluded yesterday that Cagger left for Albany last evening, leaving Richmond and Hubbard to complete the labor—to shape and polish ‘up the structare already blocked ont. Cagger, it is said, bas jef— @ power of attorney in Richmond’s hands to ‘twansact any business in regad to this democretic estate, and to sign a] transfers and deeds that may be found ne- cestary to finish this important work, in his name and for Bim. ‘We are informed that the arrangement of the compro- mise is the same at completed, although not fully eo. ‘It has been determined upon that the Breckinridge Strength of this eection of the State shal) have six men ‘op the electoral ticket, four trom the city of New York, one from Brooklyn and the other from Westcheswr county. The only point under controversy is, what they eball Go with Brady. His retirement from the Breckin- ridge ticket they consider one of the most important points in the whole arrangement.j Mr. Brady, !t seems, ‘was out of the city last week, and the negotiators, aitbuugh (bey sought him in every quarter, were unable to get bold of him. What will have to be done to satisfy him was last night a mystery, but they hope to settle the question in time for the meeting tonight, and although the ticket is at present marked out, the accept- ance or rejection by Mr. Brady of the proposition that will be made bim may materially change ® portion of the present slate. It ie understood that the Lieutenant Governorebip or elector at large is at Mr. Brady’s dieposal if be will with- draw from the field as Governor, and upon this bangs a portion of their agreement. The list of names that will appear on the electoral ticket will depend upon the doci- sion of Mr. Brady. Whether he sees{fit to accept or reject, there will be s compromise ticket prepared; at loast so gay the powers that be. Among the names that will be drawn out of this lottery wheel will probabiy be that of A. T. Stewart, the merchant prince; Reuben Withers, banker; Wilson G. Hunt, or John H. Brower, and Wm. B. Dancan, for this city; A. W. Platt, banker, of Brooklyn, and Gouverneur Kemble, of Westchester county. It is not yet positive whether these sames will appear or not, but & portion of them will appear at least. Mr. Brady's mame may be substituted for one of these, and it may not, although the number that will be given is fixed upon, ‘and the names also; yet it is not certain whether all the parties will accept, besides, the name of at least ove per gon depends upon the reply of Mr. Brady. ‘In all of this arrangement Green and Tucker bave tee, Dut (t was understood that the rejection of the resolu: tions of Mr. Wood carried with it these letters, and no further actjon was taken upon them.

The text was Secon t Chronicles, nineteenth chapter, eleventh verse, as fo! lows — And, behold, Amar\ab, the chief prieat, is over you 'a a)) matters of the Lord; and Zebadiad, the son of lebaae', the ruler of the bouse of Judah, for all the King’s matters. also the Levitea shall be citivera before you. Veal courageously, and the Lord ehail be with the good. Quite an error was made in the despates published in Saturday’s Hunarp. It was the Heyato and pot the London Times reporter who rode for the fret time in the royal train, and who does no’ care to repeat the experi- ment. This chacges the whole tenor of the paragraph, for the London Times reporter is considered @ fullower of the royal suite, and enjoys ali their faoilities. Am American created much confusion yesterday by trotting his horse through the Prince's suite repeatedly, covering the Prince with dust and putting him to no amal) danger, for the Prince rides with his horse’s bead loose, ag it is technically termed, and if the horse should bave stumbled his Royal Highness would undoubtedly have been brought low, and probably broken his neck. Disbrow should correct this bad habit when the Prince reaches New York, At night the Prince came to Clifton House, stripped off bis coat, and rolled nine pins for rome time. Being {uformed that @ bop was going on above stairs, he inquired what « hop was, and expressed Dis dissatisfaction that he bad not been told sooner that he might have adance. Afterwards, as he was going off to smoke a pipe with one of his suite, General Bruce cap. tured him and conducted him to bed. The Prince is delighted with his quarters at Zimmer man’s, and especially that he can only bave # small party atdinner, He said that he greatly disliked a crowd, a emall party was eo much pleasanter, and wished the dining room at Hamilton to be small. To this the Gover- nor General objected, saying that his Royal Higuness had duties to perform. Bachmeyer, the Queen’s courler, has started abead to pick out hotels for the Prince. Those I mentioned Satur- day will probably, but not certainly, be selected, as, al- though the Governor General announced the list, it was not official, and much will be lef to Bachmeyer’s judg- ment. $ Be wil! allow no overcharging, and the royal party will pay no more than plebeian price. It is useless to try any Japanese bills upon Bachmeyer, for be is not a New York alderman. Tt ts understood that Blondin will receive a handsome present for bis show on Saturday, as all were surprised the Prince did not give him something on the spot. He should have received the rope’s end, is the Prince’s opinion. Acouple of Sanderson's cooks, who were left by the train, and walked fifteen miles, #0 that the Prince should not be disappointed in his dinner, have received handsome presents from his Royal Highness, Earl St. Germains having informed bim of the circumstance. Colonel Magruder, United States army, is here from Fort Leavenworth to invite the Prince to give up his tn tended hunt for grouse and try to kill a buflalo, The trip would occupy about sixteen days, and give the Prince a taste of real prairie life and adventure, Colonel Magra- der’e quarters are at the Prince’s service, and as Fort Leavenworth ig the gate through which all United States troops pass, the Prince will have an opportunity of seeing camp life algo, He caa make this trip and still reach New York by the 11th of Octoder Beyond the ball and porsible levee, nothing i# on the programme for to-morrow. On Tuesday the Prince lays the corner stone of Brock’s monument, at Queenstown Height», and receives an ad- dress from the Veterans of 1812; then follows the pro. gramme from Sunday's Herauy, which does not reach Canada.

Tuesday Inst was a busy day for hie Royal Highness, and equally so for those who, like myself, went over the same ground with him. 1 bad therefore little time to do Justice to all I saw in my letier of that date. It was a pitiful sight, although ander opposite circum: stances it would have been a One one, to watch the thousands that crowded the streeta between tea and eleven on that dreary morning—to see them all making for the one point, and that one point the amphitheatre near the water’s side, There were echool obiidren mar- shailed in long lines, and dressed in a dozen varieties of costume, the girls with wet frocks and dirty stockings— for before many of them reached the desired spot it began to rain—and the boys with their trowsers turned up at the feet. There wore citizens and folks from the country of all descriptions, and Sons of Temperance carrying banners, and rifle companict in sombre garb. ‘These astembied by the hour of eleven, in « dense mass, in and around the amphitheatre adjoining the royal pavilion, and remained in eager waiting for the arrival of the Prince. But it waa not till nearly a quarter to twelve that the open carriage, with the bood over \t, drawn by four horses, passed under the triumphal arch {nto the enclosure, where the twenty or thirty thousand wore congregated. Then there was » lovg and glorious cheer, which did the heart good to listen w, and bis Royal Highness alighted, and taking his staud im the pavilion, listened to an address from the off- cers and members of the Royal Canadian Yacht Club, al; of whom were fn their uniform standiag on each side of the pavilion, In reply, be said—'‘Gentiemen—] assure you that I take a lively interest in those maaly sports which distinguish Fagland aod ber colonies, more especially when they are connected with that element on which bas been seen 80 much of the glory of our common country. I thank you for the expression of your loyalty and devo- tion to the Queen, my mother, and for your good wishes on my behalf.” At the conclusion he was asked to become patron of the club, aud cvnseated, He then walked to the rear of the structure, where a wide aweep of the lake was commanded, with the four teen first and second class yachts that were ( fun to gether drawn up fer starting in the foreground He went aa far as (he water's edge to give the signal for starting, but owing to some mismanagement s delay occurred, aad his Royal Highness, preferring shelter to the storm, re tired under the railway @tation.
