Sew York, Sonne October % The News, By an arrival at New Orleans we have important oews from Mexico. The report of the condemna- tion and confiscation of the Spanish bark Maria Concepcion at Vera Cruz is confirmed. In conse- quence of this action of the Mexican authorities the commander of the Spanish fleet had threatened to | bombard the city, but was deterred trom so doing | by Com. Jarvis, of the American squadron, and the | eatire Spanish fleet, with the exception of one ves- sel, returned to Havana. Degollado, the liberal | | general, had, it was believed, seized a conducta with $1,200,000, bound for Tampico, intending to use the money in aid of the expedition against the capital. We have a brief telegraphic account of the rav- ages ofa terrible storm which swept over a large portion of the Southern country on Tuesday. At New Orleans buildings were prostrated, and boats | were swamped in the river. Along the line of the Jackson Railroad a portion of the track was washed away, and a large number of houses were carried off by the flood. Steamboats were blown ashore and sugar houses demolished. The crops suffered severely, The storm was also very heavy at Baton Ronge and in portions of Georgia and Florida. The steamship Northern Light, from Aspinwall, with two hundred and thirty-two passengers, the mails and $929,000 in treasure, brought down to Panama by the steamship John L. Stephens, trom Saa Francisco on the 11th ult., had not arrived whea our paper went to press. The trip from San Francisco to New York is usually made in from tweaty-two to twenty-three days.

The Thunder Mutterings of the Coming Tempest—Indications of Popular Feel- ing Nerth and South, Whoever surveys the current of recent events with a broad and comprehersive view cannct fail to perceive the signa and to hear the dis- tant mutterings of the thunder of the comlag storm, which threstens to involve evary interest in the country in a whirlwind of destruction and ruin. A fanatical party, organized in one half of the country ou principles of deadly hostility to the other half, are making a violent effort to seize the reins of power; and in many portions of the Union a blinded and deluded people seem determined to give their sanction to the | insane proceeding, by permitting them to carry the popular elections through pluralities if not mojorities. This prospective success of fanati- cism is already beginning to affect the more sensitive interests both North and South, while at the same time it em- boldens the demagoguical leaders of the aseailapts to a more unblusbing and threaten- ing declaration of their aims: In the East Wil- son and Sumner proclaim the most bitter and violent abolition sentiments; and Seward is now rettraing from an almost triumphal pro- gress through the Northwest, in which the plans of revolution have been avowed by him- self and followers with a distinctness never be- fore attained. Me proclaims that the European idea must be applied to American society, and because Americans themselves will not do it, it through European emigrants, | or oppression in their own country, have sought | new homes here. That the manner of obtaining these aims may be more clearly and pointedly teen, Senator Seward has, in a moment of triumphant feeling, vaunted his brotherhood | with John Brown. These facts are already producing commotion in many quarters. The South, alarmed at the prospect of a government avowedly hostile to its state of society, turns on every side looking for the path of safety. Sensible and pru- dent men look upon the future with unmingled alarm. Keitt and the South Caro- lina school of politicians proclaim secession | and resistance as the only resort. Botts, on the other hand, announces that three hundred thou- sand volunteers, even in the South, will turn their sickles into swords, and, abandoning the peaceful avocations of industry, compel sub- mission at the point of the bayonet. The brutal element, which unfortunately is too often listened to in times when a sense of danger rouses public feeling, displays itself already, and finds a mouthpiece in its congenial repre- sentative, Pryor, who declares himself ready to turn assassin and plunge a dagger in the breast of Lincoln if he should be elected. Whatever opinion we may entertain of these men and their sentiments, there is one thing we must not forget. They are demagogues, and each in his own section studies the popular feeling, and gives expression to what he be- lieves to be the thought and desire of those around him. Nor is it alone in the South that these thunder mutterings can be caught by the attentive ear. They are heard here too. Those who live in the currents of trade may hear them in the in- creasing distrust with which the paper of those telegraphic summary of the news brought by the Canada. The letters from our correspondents at | Londoa, Paris, Berlin, Florence and (ienoa, which | Sre published in to-day's paper, supply the details. | It is a noteworthy fact, and one for which great | credit is due, that all the steamers of the Liverpool, | New York and Philadelphia steamship line, except ing one, have been boarded of Cape Race during the | pastsummer, and the exception was alone caused | by the prevalence of a dense fog. The press and | the pablic are under many obligations to the pro prietors, agents, commanders and pursers of thix Line for their unceasing efforts to serve them. Our correspondent at Tarks Island, writing on | the 24th ult., says:—The season has been a very | prosperous one here, with a stock of salt on hand | of about 60,000 bushels, without any sigas of dimi- | nation, although the shipments are steady. The take of turtle has been immense, two-thirds of | which has gone to England. Several British ves- | sels-of-war (principally steam schooners) touch here acd exchange pickles, liquors, bread, Xc., for turtle. We publish this morning some interesting corres pondeuce from on board the United States steam: | ship Niagara aad from the African coast, touching | the homeward voyage of the Japanese bir y The ara was, at last accounts, remarkably | healthy, and the only inconvenience experienced | was from the prevalence of adverse winds and the | consequent lack in the supply of coal and water. The Japanese were rapidly progressing in their English studies. There were a large number of | American and English ships of war on the African coast, hunting up slavers, of which four or five had been captured. The details will be found very iu teresting. The adjourned meeting of the stockholders and creditors of the Artisans’ Bank yesterday appointed Mr. Augustine Smith receiver of the institution, he having consented to accept the trust, and agreed to recommend him to the Supreme Court for th post. The subject of the appointment of Mr. Smith was discussed in Court, but the Judge adjourned the case until noon to-day without deciding the question. The Bell and Everett County Convention met last evening, and nominated a straight aud county ticket. appointed a commit! ference, and adjourned to meet at the call of the Chairman. Their proceedings will be found else where. The Republican Judiciary Convention met last evening, and nominated Mr. Thomas [}. Van Buren for Recorder, in place of John W. Edmonds, who declines to be a candidate The Police Commissioners yesterday transferred Sergesnt Smith, of the Fifth ward, to the Seven teenth; Sergeant Bush, of the Sixth, to the Twevty- third, and Sergeant Bromer, of the Tenth, to the Gixth. No other business was transacted. ‘The cotton market was firm yesterday and more active ‘The sales embraced about 9 500 bales, closing on the basie of 107%. & Le. for middling uplanda = Apprehearions wore entertained regarding the effects of the late pro- tracted beary storm at the South upon the crops It was feared trom (ts duration that |t extende to a coosiverable | digtasce iniand, in the event of which the cotton eros moet bare been more or lees injured.

Sensitive capital does not needlessly advance its rate of interest from seven to eighteen per cent for this class cf in- vestment. One bank, the Artisans’, has already given way before the pressure of distrust, and there are others, more than cautious citizens imagine, who in case of the installation of Lin- coln_and a revolutionary policy at Washington would fall beneath the load of falling securi- | ties. Ask those who know the courses of trade what causes the difficulty that attends the col- lection of Southern debts, or the granting of new credits to Southern merchants, and they will tell you that it is the fear of the inangura- tion of a revolutionary policy of government. The ebullitions of brutality and faction are rife here in the North, too, and are evident to every careful observer. Because we have fear- Jessly pursued the path of our duty asa jour- nalist, and held up the mirror of truth to pass ing events on every side around us, Northern demagogues proclaim that we, too, should be the victim of brutal violence. Those who coincide with us ia the view we take of the political necessities of the country— as the Boston Pos!—vent their spite in personal vituperation of us; those whose destructive policy we oppose—as the Providence Journa!— deny the statements of their own leaders and | representative men, that their aim is to abolish slavery everywhere. A little country paper in New Jersey prints in ite editorial column a violent and brutal letter against “ the editor of the Heraun, * * * whom it would be merciful to commit to the gallows.” We cite these things merely as indications of the spirit of violence and unreason that is abroad in the land. Its anticipations may be seen in the unusual character that has been given to political clubs and organizations in the present canvass. The old system of ban- ners, mottoes, devices, and shouts of the name of some popular leader, has been displaced by one with military drill, simulated muskets and lances, real cannon, a regular battle cry, and recognized rank and command. The sullen silence with which the multitude of people beheld ten thousand of these half soldiers march throngh our streets a few nights since is an unerring testimony of the feeling of dread that is beginning to pervade the public mind. Neither the drilled performers nor the spectators gave any evidence of honest entbu- sisem. It was the premonitory dead march through the streets cf this commercial metropo- lis. All of these signs of the times are but the thunder mutterings of the coming tempest. Let the leaders and the people all be fore- warned, and rouse themselves to their utmost to prevent the destructive agitation that will follow the success of the black republican perty. On Pennsylvania devolves the first duty. She is to speak throngh her State elec- tions on Tuesday next, and her best and dearest interests, as well as those of the whole country, are involved in ber utterance. If the Keystone falls from the arch of Union, the whole structure] must and will lollow ia the path of revolution ocd ruie | ane pacdaatea a anal Sugars were eteady, with | Oritienl Condition of Affairs im Itely— Red Repubiicanism Again Ratsing Its Head. ‘The advices received by the City of Balti- more confirm the impression that the rupture between Garibaldi and Count Cavour is likely to lead to the most serious consequences. With the decided views entortained by both there seems to be no chance of a reconcilement of their respective policies. The Sardinian Pre- mier believes that the werk of revolution has been carried as far asis consistent with the interests of Sardinia. Garibaldi takes the broad Italian view of the subject, and looks upon the work of national independence as but half accomplished eo long as any por- tion of the {talian people are left enslaved. To accomplish their liberation he would riak all that has been already gained; and, consider- ing the wonders that he haa already achieved, we have no right to say that he proposes to him- | self an impossible task. It is, however, less with the prudence of his resolves than with the consequences likely to result from the ee- paration of his policy from that of Sardinia that we bave now to deal. Although the support of the latter in his contemplated attack upon’Venice would inevitably lead to a war of the most formidable proportions, there is far less risk to the cause of Italian independ- eace in such an eventuality thaa in the opposi- tion of interesta which is being brought about by the apparently irreconcileable differences which bave sprung up between him and the Tu- rin Cabinet. The effect is to divide and weaken the patriotic sentiment of Italy, and to increase the chances of a reactionary movement. We see its influence in the statement contained in the last news, that the republican cause wis gaining ground in Naples, and that the Dictator was inclining a favorable ear to its arguments. Now itis evident that, unless efforts be at once made to patch up the difficulties between the Sardinian government aad Garibaldi, the latter will be won over to the views of the red republicans. The result will then be that, in- stead of the Two Sicilies being annexed to Sar- dinia, they will receive republican institutions, and be rendered the general refuge ot all the rest- jess and discontented spirits of Europe. What the effect of such a state of things will be on the other continental populations may be judged of by | the rapidity with which the revolutionary flame | spread frem country to country in 1848. In France red republicanism, though scotched, is not dead, and only awaits a favorable oppor- tunity to again emerge from its hiding places. The German republicans do not give signs of life, but they are not the less eagerly watching the progress of events in Italy. Hungary is ripe for revolt, and the government feels in such a state of insecurity there that all the garrisons have been replaced ona war footing. Even the newly annexed provinces of Sardinia would not be insensible to the republican infection, their fresh born loyalty being sure to be over- powered by the appeals of the man whom they regard as a sort of demi-god. Thus the unity of Italy is placed be- tween two dangers—that of a too precipitate advance to the fulfilment of its objecta by an attack upon Venice, and of a division of its interests by the repudiation by Gari- baldi of the policy of France and Sardinia. Ineiber case war is inevitable, and it will be for Victor Emanuel to choose whether he will con- tinue to unite his fortunes with those of his compatriots who have elevated him to his pre- | sent proud position, or await the chances of the | reactionary combination which the unfarling of | the red republican flag wil! be sure to provoke amongst the continental despots. A bold policy is, in our opinion, the only one for the | King to pursue under the circumstances. It is better to brave the power of Austria, even | though unsupported by France, than to break | up the bonds that at present unite all the Italian | populations, and thus give to the red republi- cans the chance of ruining the liberties which they have so gallantly woo. Either alternative, it will be acen, involves a conflict of formidable proportions and of un- certain duration. There is\ but one thing that can avert it, and that is a chance too remote to | dwell upon. The sale of Venice to Surdinia is a compromise of such obvious and pressing ex- pediency and prudence that Austrian statesmen, with their characteristic blindness, are sure only to appreciate its wisdom when it is too late to effect it. Tae Merrorourtay and Cocyty Nomeys- TioNs.—The conventions of the different parties are very busy just now making nominations for all the offices to be filled at the approach- ing election for the county, for the Legislature and for Congress. We do not attach any im- portance tothe dictum of any party or any convention, but are disposed to support such men only as are qualified by their good charac- ter and intelligence to administer faithfully the duties imposed upon them, whether it be upon the bench, in the State Legislature or in the halls of Congress. We perceive that Recorder Barnard haa re- ceived the nomination of Tammany for the Su- preme bench, and also the nomination ot Mo- zart Hall. This will undoubtedly give him a prestige when he comes before the people. We see also that Judge Russell got the nomination for Recorder from a mejority of the Tammany Convention, but by some means or other a row was got up before business was concluded, aad the Convention broke up. Mozart Hall, how ever, bas nominated him, and this will give bim also a handsome prestige; while the fearless and upright course he has pursued for the past four years as criminal judge has commended him to the good will of all the respectable por- tion of the community—a friendly feeling which has not been diminished by the abuse heaped upon bim by « portion of the press. It is true that he bas shown no mercy to convict- ed criminals; on the contrary, he has been uni- versally severe in his dealings with them, and it is only natural that this cl { people and their friends should be bard in their denuncia- tions of him. The nomination for members of the Assem- bly is only partially completed, so that it is difficult to pronounce any opinion as to what the result will be. The same may be said of the nominations for members of Congress; but we perceive a disposition to run some of the plun- Gerers of the Corporation for these places of trast, and we can only hope that not one of that infamous gang will be nominated, or if they are, that they will be rejected at the polle. We see that for representative of the Third dis- | | trict Benjamin Wood has received the nomination of Tammany Hall and Mozart Hall, and there- } fore etands a fair chance of election. Mr. Wood | ie a new man, but he is a man of superior busl- ; Camp, peas talents, ad understands the interests of the ety far totter than o mace pollen or law- yer; he knows more about the business of his Constituents than Mr. Sickles, who now repre- sents the district, or than the editor of a Sunday paper, who knows still less. Mr. Wood has the capacity to serve bis constituents well, and he is by fur the best man at preeent in nomination in that district, and having no one to compete with him who has any chance at all, we presume he will be elected. In the Sixth district, now represented by Hoa. Joba Cochrane, there appeare to be come opposition to bis renomination; and there could not be 8 more forcible evidence of the depra- vity of the democratic party than to see the grogshop politicians who control the nomina- tiore endeavoring to reject such a representa- tive sa Mr. Cochrane—a man of spotless charac- ter, upright, refined, intelligent as a stateeman, and a man of undoubted talent, who has proved himself not only an honor to the metropolis, a portion of which he representa, but to Congress— to substitute in his place one of the plunderers of the Corporation. When party conventions goto such lengths as to supplant worthy men for the refuse of the community, they are eati- tled only to contempt, and no man who has the interest of the city or the country at heart will be bound by their action. We shall see, how- ever, what the upshot of these conventions will be, and we fancy that we have a great many scores yet to reckon up egainst them. The Suspension of the Artisans’ Bank, and the Tribune and Times. The Tribune and Times are making ® great bluster over the suspension of the Artisans’ Bank, and are both trying to say a great deal about it, and yet tell as few facts as possible. Under the plea of unraveiling the mystery, they are throwing dust in the eyes of the public, so as to hide their own complicity in the affair. Their whole course, however, reveals the fact that they are treuding upon dangerous ground, where oue misstep may show to the world the part that they have played in this financial drama. They have attempted to drag Benjamin Wood inte the snarl and make him responsible, when, ic fact, he has-no moreto do with it than any other depositor; and as to Fernando Wood, about whom so much has been said, he has no connection whatever with it, farther than the appointment of Mr. Platt to the Chamberlaincy. The fact of the matter is, the whole difficulty has been brought about by a family quarrel be- tween thore two journals and their managers. It appears from the report of the judicial pro- ceedings and that of the stockholders over the question of Receiver, that Mr. Camp is a share- holder in the Artisans’ Bank; he is like- wise a large owner of stock in the “Tribune Association,” having purchased McElrath’s interest when that gentleman failed in the Nassau Bank, and wields more or less in- fluence over the course of that journal. Mr. Stout, the former City Chamberlain, is a large stockholder in the Shoe and Leather Bank, which has great power over the Times, through funda advanced on the stock of that newspaper association, which lies in its vaults bypothecated. ‘These gentlemen have thus been able to get up & newspaper warfare over their operations in this affair, which has been conducted under the pretence of looking after the public interests. Mr. Stout was appointed City Chamberlain by Fernando Wood, soon after his first election to the office of Mayor, and was retained by Mayor Tiemana. At that time Mr. Camp was a stock- | holder in the Shoe and Leather Bank, where Mr. Stout deposited the city funds. Those two gen- , tlemen were «leo on quite Intimate terms, and were engaged together in several schemes; but at Jength they had some misunderstanding about an eighty thousand dollar legacy, of which Mr. Stout was one of the legatees. Since the | last Legislature passed the act extending the term of cftice of the City Chamberlain, Mr. we are informed, furnished the Mayor a statement in connection with that legacy that made him bave fears as to the safety of the city money. He, accordingly appointed Mr. Platt, a respectable merchant, in his place. That gentleman trans- | ferred the funds of the city from the Shoe and | Leather Bank to the Artisans’. The Times im- mediately opened its batteries,- and Mr. Stout operated upon the Clearing House and the banks of the city, by managing in some mysterious way to throw suspicions over the operations of the Artisans’ Bonk. The bank was thus forced to withdraw from the Clearing House, and this was followed by a aystematic attack on all sides, until, at last, it was forced to yield to the pressure, and now the Tribune and 7° \¢s are both engaged in misleading the public, for fear that the real facts will show the | upsoundness of their concerns. Loans made to Senator Douglas, we are told, are amoog the canees that brought this trouble upon the Artisans’ Bank: but in this, as in all other statements, the main bistory is left unno- ticed. Some two years since, when Mr. Doug- las was engaged in his Senatorial contest, it is stated that be obtained a loan of several thou- sand dollars of the Shoe and Leather Bank, and after the quarrel between Messrs. Camp and Stout it was tranaferred to the Artisans’ Bank through the influence of the former. ‘There being an impression at that time in the minds of the Trilene philosophers that they were soon to have the “ Little Giant,” with his bog and baggage. in their party, they took special interest in this loan. We thus find these journals mixed up in this fight and at the very bottom of the imbroglio, | and yet dolog all within their power to mystify | it, to prevent the public at large from seeing the | utter rottennees of their establishments. They ore carryingon this republican family aquab- | ble over the city funds, which each desires to beve in the bonds of their friends, to bolster | themselves up, and enable them to scatter black republican dogmas thronghout the North- | ern States, and are trembling lest an investiga. | tion will reveal this fact to the public Tur Tawmasy Faction Comtna Orr or Irs —We perceive that the Tammany faction is coming out of its shell at last, and support- ing the union electoral ticket. It is about time that it did so, because {t cannot help itself. Its power Is gone, and as an individual organ- ization it can effect nothing any longer. The transformation now going on among the differ- ent parties in the city is of a character that the grogshop politicians do not understand. It is 4 revolution far beyond their ken, and they are forced to fall into the stream without oaactly knowing the reason why. They have drifted Into 9 fog, and are obliged to go with the cur- rent. The democratic party has been dead in Congress for the last (wo or three yenrs, and the late conventions in Charteston and Balti- more have laid it out stiff and flat all over the country. The new orgacization which bas sprung up in thia city, composed of all the fr:zments of parties which the exigencies of the times have utterly broken up and demolished, is a great Union, conatitutional, conservative party, whose origin and aims are wholly incomprehensible to the grogshop politicians, office holders and office seekers of Tammany, who see no farther than the spoils. It is equally tucomprehensible to the men of the rotten and corrupt Regency, though they are forced to chime in with it. The Regency is compelled to jump iato the train, though much against its will, and travel on the grand Union railroad, being all the time ix the dark aa to the reason why it should be obliged to go out of its old track laid in the filth and mire of politics. But this great Union conservative party is am organization of new ideas and statesmanlike views and purposes, and is therefore not presumed to come within the comprehension of the wora out political hacks of Tammaay, or the Albany Regency. Ram aad Rhetoric—Am Editor Three Sheets in the Wind. ‘The eolid men of Boston tell rather a good stery at the expense of a gentleman who once received a nomination to the highest office in the republic. The hero of the legend was much given to strong potations, and had a bad habit of mixing his liquors quite “permiscuous,” as Mre. Gamp would eay. Directly after the news of bis nomination was received at his favorite hostelrie, the barkeeper thereof, a philosopher noted for the serenity of his de- meanor, was observed to be impermeated with that disease which a colored gentleman once termed “the disgust.” He declared, most em- phatically, that the nomination was one not fit to be made, and that if the nominee should be elected it would be a disgrace to the country. When preszed for his reasons, the knight of the toddy stick proceeded to say that the “stand- ard bearer” of his party drank, on one occa- sion, before breakfast, and in the space of an hour, first, a bottle of Congress water; second, aglass of ale; third, agin cocktail; fourth, a half bottle of champagne; Ofth, a rum punch, and eixth, a brandy toddy; and the conclusion to which the man of spirit arrived was that a man who was so stupid as to mix his liquors in the manner above described was altogether too great a fool to be President of the United States. We might go a little further, and say that the result quite justified the barkeeper’s predic- tion ; but we are not writing political history. We have referred to the Boston anecdote as being germane to a speciality in journalism which has been introduced by our philosophical and philanthropic cotemporaries of the Tribune. In organizing their establishment upon the strictest Fourierite principles they made pro- vision for every department of labor, and, by a flight of enterprise far beyond rivalry, they have introduced a new element into the metro- politan press. We refer to the drunken edito- rial which appears in the Tribune once a month, or thereabouts. The bibulous philosopher who indites these remarkable effusions is probably in the gutter three weeks out of four, and writes in the intervals of his sprees. [is latest article opens rather obscurely, as if he was gradually recovering from an extended drunk. It is presumed to be a review of an ar- ticle by a half crazy Southern editor, whose theory is that the safety of the Union can only be secured by the election of Mr. Douglas. The Southern editor is particularly severe upon Yan- cey, Jeff. Davis, and the other fire-eaters; and the Tribune man, as nearly as we can ascertain, seems to have endeavored to cast ridicule upon his rural cotemporary. The first paragraph of the Tribune article gives token of cold water, lin- gering headache and remorse. After drifting along in this calm sea for a matter of forty lines, the scribe waxes athirat and imbibes some mild decoction, say small or lager bier. The effect of this potation is not sufficiently inspiriting; so the writer takes to champagne, which leads to a brilliant rhetorical burst, wherein we are told that “it is a most remarkable circumstance that the great danger of the South is in its perpetual propensity to be lulled; we would think that seventy millions of sirens were singing in those latitudes continually,” and soon. Going along a little further, we find traces of the ene- my. Burgundy, or some stronger tipple, peeps out in this sentence :—*Yancey, the destroyer! Yancey, the disunionist! Yancey is the mur- derer of Cock Robia and the Cataline of this glorious country.” ‘These luminous sentences bring a paragraph to an effective close, and our hero again seeks inspiration from the bottle. This time he pro- bably patronizes old port, and waxes eloquent, thus:—“Alas' we can only say, catch Yancey, corner Yancey, knock down Yancey, chain Yancey, gag Yancey, suppress Yancey, impri- son Yancey. lynch Yancey. Is not this a great country’ Are not our stars and stripes resplen- dent’” After this the Tiwi philosopher be- comes hopelessly involved in a maze of adjec- tives, adverbs, verbs and substantives, common and proper, which are thrown out upon the world like so much worthless rubbish. He has now taken to brandy, and subsequently em- braces what is called Jersey lightning. He falls to babbling in a wild way about Yancey. the Presidential election and “the childish pas- sions and disreputable animosities of a hand- fal of Southern madcaps.” Occasionally we get a faint glimmering of the purport of the article, but it is so terribly mixed up that eren & Philadelphia lawyer would be puzzled to make | out what the author was driving at. The idea reems to be. however, that the treason to the Union is not confined to the republican party, but is shared by the Southern fire-eaters. which | is a wonderful discovery, perhaps. It seems to ws however, a very small allowance of bread | for exch « liberal expenditure of sack. Dect- dedly the Hon, Massa Greeley has a great trea- sore in bis bacchanalian collaborateur, althongh bis Incubrations do seem a little ont of place in a cold water concern like the Trilune. Per- haps, however, the drunken editor fs kept as an example to bis confreres, and as a practi. cal {Illustration of the necessity for a prohibi- tory liquor law, once one of the favorite hob- bies of the Spruce street philosophers. At any rate there is no mistaking hie work. It grows richer and richer day by day, and if he perse- veres in mixing bie drinks be may yet be able to do something as brilliant as famous quadri- lateral action which gave such a splendid repu- tation to the Chevalier H. Jenkins Raymond's drunken department. That was what the poli- ticians call a “big thing,” we admit, but we be- lieve that it can be equalled, and further, that ' the SHenus of the Tribune is just the maa to Jo it, We shall therefore look with the ut anxiety for the next effort of this bibulows phi- losopher as one which will completely distaace all bis rivals in this charming field. The Pious #reuds of the Sabbatariaas, Yesterday we published the last Sunday law, Paered in April of this year, which has so ex- cited the-German population and other citizens a8 to induce them, in several districts, to insist upon a pledge for its repeal from candidates for the Legislature. This bill is worthy of the puritanical Jesuits who drew up a previous bill, which, uader « false name, they attempted to impose upon the State, aad actually succeeded in cheating the whole Legislature who passed it into the belief that it was for a totally differ- ent purpose than the observance of Sunday. Governor Morgan, though agreeing with the Sabbath Cofnmittee in their main object, could not consent to lend himeelf to so palpabie a fraud, and accordingly vetoed the bill cu the ground that it was not what its title indicated, and that ft went to euch an extreme leagtt as to strike a deadly blow at innocent amusements’ on the other six days of the week as well aa on Sunday. The title of the bill was “An act to amend an act cntitled an act to create a fund in aid of the Society for the Reformation of Juvenile Delin- quents in the city of New York, and for other purposes.” Who would suppose that under this blind was hidden one of the most puritanical Sun- day laws ever passed, worthy of the palmy days of Cotton Mather. An act had been previously in existence creating a fund for the charitable society above named by applying fines of vari- ous kinds to that object, but there was oothiag whatever about Sunday in it. Governor Morgan, “wholly fails to convey any idea of the contents or actual purposes of the bill, and I have reason to believe that it was ia Consequence of this that it was allowed to pase without discussion, 80 that its true character and object were only discovered after its final passage through both houses.” This quotation is a twoedged sword—it cuts both ways—it shows how little attention the republican Legia- lature of the last session paid to the public business, when such a bill could pass without | any of the members knowing its contents; and the fraud of the title is well worthy of the Tar- tuffes, the Mawworms, the Cantwells and the Joseph Surfaces who have originated the late agitation against drinking lager bier »on “the Lord's day,” and whose true types may be found in the saints who used to kill a cat on Monday for catching mice on Sunday. This bill was levelled at all places of amuse- ment, by compelling them to pay, even for con- cert rooms, a license of $500 per annum. “The result of this provision,” says the Governor, “would be to close upon the other days of the week many innoceat and beneficial places of amusement, whose profits are not sufficiently Jarge to enable them to pay the sum.” The other parts of the bill were of such a nature as to induce Mr. Morgan to say that “its provisions are 80 sweeping as to defeat the objects of its framers.” It might be justly called a bill te make prisoners in their own houses of the whole Population of the city for one day out of seven. This was too bad for even the Commissioners of Police to attempt to engineer through the Le- gislature. Though very willing to oblige the coramittee, they did not think it prudent or safe to ran tilt to such an extent against public opinion. They declined to make such a whole- sale onslaught upon the civil and religious liberties of the people. There was nothing left but to smuggle it through the Legislature, like & slaver under false colors. They succeeded with the vigilant Legislature, but Governor Morgan discovered the cheat and would not take the responsibility of endorsing it. Nothing daunted, they goto work again and perpetrate another pious fraud, which this time the pious Morgan swallows. They got up 4 new bill, which, with the most indecent haste, théy hurried through the Legislature at the fag end of the session, before the public were aware of the movement. That the republican party are responsible for it we proved yester- day by the votes and the committee who put it through. Though we republished it yesterday, we now wish to call special attention to some of its provisions. By thie measure the innocent enjoymente of “the garden” and “the concert room” are pro- hibited, and every description of “dramatic performance” or “parta of the same.” Of course oratorios and sacred concerts are in- cluded, and the beautiful airs from the operas sometimes played without the words in our churches, and sometimes with othee words suited to the occasion, accord- ing to the example of John Wesley, who stole for his hymns the tunes of the most popular songs, remarking that the devil had appropriated all the beautiful music. The penalty for violation of this act is five hundred dollars, besides imprisonment for the offence as a misdemeanor; and the nice point of the law is that “the Society for the Refor- mation of Juvenfle Delinquents” are authorized to sue for and recover the penalty, and apply it to their own use. This was deemed essential because the Sabbatarians knew that if so un- popular and unconstitutional a law were left to be administered in the ordinary way, it would not be carried out to their satisfaction any more than the other Sunday laws. They coa- cluded that the bait of the fine would work like a charm, and that « charitable so- ciety, some of whose members are members of the Sabbath Committee, would be induced to prosecute, in order to get hold of the offender's money. It seems that they bave not been mistaken in their calculations, and that the society are getting up a number of cases, from which they expect to reap a rich harvest. We hope that in every instance ia which there is a decision in their favor an appeal will be taken to a higher court, on the ground of unconstitu- tionality. The act carries a fraud and false- bood on its face. It is entitled “An act to pre- serve the public peace and order on the first day of the week, commonly called Sunday.” In what respect can “the public peace and or- der” be said to be violated by the innocent enjoyment of a German “garden,” or “the con- cord of sweet sounds” in a concert room? As well might these lezislators call the music of pature—the melody of the birds, the rustling of the trees, the murmuring of the waves, the bab- bling of brooks, the pattering of rain and the whistling of the winds—breaches of the public peace. The very title of the bill isa misnomer. Such is the blue law enacted for this city alone, by tyrannical Legislature of black re- publicans, and such is the sneaking manner ia which it has been foisted into the statute “The title,” sage -
