In consideration of his eminent services Gen.

There was a strong rally of the friends of the Union at the Cooper Institute last evening. Consi- derable enthusiasm provailed round about the building, and in the early part of the evening rockets were discharged in frgpt of the Institute. Mr. Joshua J. Henry presided over the meeting. The first speech was delivered by the Hon. Charles J. Helme, of Kentucky, who was followed by Mr. Gerard, of this city, aud the Hon. Mr. Stevens, ex- Governor of Oregon.

It wes turther resolved ‘a the Governor &f the State should be re- | Quer d 10 Ceovene the Legistature, and, Inatly, | ') 888 proposed that a Southern Convention _ should meet for tbe pnrpore of agreeing upon J of purpore and burmony of action. Thia iss very warming condision of things, When “men coolly begin to talk of the rigbt of the re- | Crstion Of States, and propose measures for car- | Tying out their determination, in the event of a | certod conta gency which is likely to happen, it iy wlovoet tentamount to dissolution, | The people ot the Soutbern States generally, end & jarge proportion of the democracy of the | North, bawe always beld that any sovereign Slate bas the same right to withdraw from the Uuien tbat @ partner in @ mercantile firm bas ‘to separate from the coucern, This was the doctrine of John ©, Cathoan, for many years the great leader of the South; and it appears | thar it was the doctrine of Jefferson and Mydi- son, two of the greatest of the foundgra of the federal Uaion, and the ablest interpreters of n. The question is handled with | great ability by a writer signing bimeelf Justinian, whose arguments will be found in avother part of this journal, Tbe doctrine, however, is disputed by the republican party and by many who are opposed to their organ: | ization. But the fact of the Southern Scates | believing ip it is sufficient for their action, aud | practically amounts to the same thing as if it | were a principle of our goverument beyond | dispute. Vor no power on earth can keep the Southern States in the Union againet their will, the constitu ~ | and when it ceases to be their interest to re- main the Uoion is but a rope of sand. Hitherto it was their interest to coutiaue 5° | members of the confederacy, as it was the in | terest of the Northern States to induce them to |} doso. Butthe time is come wher they bave begun to weigh the advantages of the Union | sguivst the advantages of secession, and a very large proportion of the population— probebly a considerable majority of the whole—incline to the opinion that they would | be better and safer out of the Union than in it If their domestic concerns were let alone by | Northern segressors, the people of no Southern State would ever desire to secede from the Unton; but now that they see a powerful party at the North controlling the elections in every one of ita States, even ia those bitherto deemed conservative, and that party organized on the basis of a eocial war of destruction and exter- mipation sgainst their most cherished institu- | tion, the source of all their wealth and pros- | perity—on institution guaranteed to them as no otber is, by the very words of the federal com pact itself it is not to be wondered at that they should be alarmed for the security of their property, and that they should desire to with- draw from a confederacy in which it is endan gered, and form one for themselves in which the ties of a common interest would bind them togetber for its protection. Now the question is: Will the people of me Norwern States, for a mere abstraction, drive | the Southern States ont of the Union? It is the interest of the Northern States far more than it is that of the Southern communities that the contederacy should not be broken up. The South would lose pone of its wealth or pros- perity, for with it would remain ite scarces of wealth— the greatetaples; its iostitutions could no longer be interfered with, and it woald evjoy domestic peace and tranquillity, But how dif- ferent the North, whose sources of wealth are ite trade wand commerce and manufactures, de- | pending chiefly for their existence apon its con- nection with the South by a political Caion, which seoures it free trade and the raw ma- terial end a market for the manufactured ar- ticle, and employmeat for its ships and capital and Ks numerous popalation Cot the ligements which bind the North to the South, and the people of the North become a more impoverished population than that of England, and the profits which they reaped from Southern products would be diverted into other channels, and enrich Great Britain and France. : Af the North, therefore, should be guilty of the suicidal course of severing the connection and forcing the South to seek safety in seces- sion, at its own doors must lie the terrible con- seqaences. As for coercion, it is madness to think of it. In the words of the writer to whom we have already referred, ‘The desoend- ante in Sonth Carolina of those patriotic heroes who, in 1765—ten years before the destruction of the tea in Boston—captured from the British ' parrieon at Fort Jobnson and destroyed the British etampe—the descendants of men who ticked their lives for an abstract principle to avoid an voconstitational and nominal tax— could never be persuaded to remain for one instant within any ench Union of force.” Tue Potice axp tun Gauntens.— Our police are exceedingly active when their daty in- volves a wholesale descent upon vagrants, or poor honest people who are no vagraate at all. When an atrocious murder is committed which excites a nine days’ horror and a nine days’ wonder in the city, they are also very zealonsia their endeavors to secure the perpetrator while | the public excitement lasts; nor is theie zeal at all deteriorated by the offer of a reward for his | capture. Bat somebow it happens that the most pestilent members of society—the gan- blers and keepers of gambling nells—eiibeor find extraordinary favor with the pol they bave a heppy knack of making themselves invisible whea they are wanted. A cave occurred in our courte within a fow | daye which illustrates this. A young man, as | alleged, embezzled a portion of bis employer's substance and was arrested. He admitted the crime, and will be dealt with, we presume, as cording to law; bathe made chaiges against certain keepers of gambling houses for defran 4- Ing bim out of several thousand dollars of the money, thus preventing bim from making reset tution, and although the names and residences of four or five parties were plainly furulehed and set down in the warrant iesued for thelr ar- reat, the police, it appears, cannot find them. Nearly all of the parties against whom these wnrrante were isened keep their dens in Broad- way or In ite immediate proximity; they muat be well known to the police, or if not they onght to be. Yet. strange to eny, they cannot bp found. How ia this? Can Superintendent Kennedy give | ur ne inttrmades on the subject? ¢, oF Tue News rnom Sxnta.—tt ig desireble that telegraphic despatches should be covcise, but bever enigmeticul, aa is the one we received yesterday from Father Point conceraing Syria: Bine (he teparture of Fuad Pass fro: *UILETs Dad recommevoed their mar a Killen ‘erty Chrietiang The remstutog (br > were emt. eraty g te Latekia. The Muaulmane were furtour aceust tbe Cbrisusps apa hed threatened the life of shy Russian Goprut s, the Mar. Can we euppose that Fuad Pasha has realy left Byria? Then the marsacre of twraty more Christians is not to be wondered at Nor can we expect that the repetition of such atrovitiee will be confined to Syria alone, Neither is it surprising that the Christians should desire to leave the country and escape further perrcou tien, But why ebould they emigrate to such & place as Latakia, a town of Northern 5yris, oo the rea coast, between Beyrout and Alexan dretta and pot fer from Damasens, and whose inbabitapts, being of the Enaaree sect, are ovted tor their fanuticiam aod animosity to all Chris- tiane? The deapatch also says, “The life of the Rus- sian Consul is threatened.” Which Russian Consul! Is there but one in all Syria’ [tis evideut that the Cousul meant is the one at Daunscus. and thatthe word Syria bas been subssituted for Damascus, It is already known that Fuad Pasha has left Damascus, and the rising of the Maxeuimans ogain and renewing their atrocities by siaugh- tering twenty more Christians at that place is the fuct we bave to deal with, and ouly proves, us we have said, that the terrible examples made by the Turkish Minister have, it seems, been productive of no effect on the miods of the fanatics. On the contrary, the favatival spirit is roused to such @ pitch that Fuad has been obliged to decamp. The con-equence wiil be that the French troops, instead of bring etiquettically confined withia the limits of Bey- rout, will now have the silent consent, if not actual orders of his Excellency, to proceed to Damescus, where the conflict will be severe; for tbe French forces will not only bave to contend with the fanatical mob but with regu- larly Grilied eoldiers of the Sultan, whose dis jeyalty doubtless compelled Fusd Pasba to rave, : Let but one Frenchman be killed there, and we may reusopably suppore that Syria will soon become a French colony—perbaps under Abd el-Kader himself. Then we may bope Syria will be tranquilized, and the fanatics either brought to terms or driven out. But it driven out, as is probable, they will ouly go to wreak their vengeance upon the Christians of Atlin, and those of the ancient land ot Armenia will be the first to suffer. Icis the dary of the Cbristion Powers to anticipate euch an event. We therefore lock for the nex’ arrival of news from the Evst with the utmost impatience and apxlety.

Tux Comino Revoivtion.—The indications of arising popular sentiment In faror of seovesion in the Sontbern and South #estern States, should New Vork cast ber dlectoral vote for Liccolo, and tbue secure the trinmpb of the black repub- ican party, sre multiplying on every ride. That this feeling on the part of the Southern people is a weil fonoded and necessary one for their own eelfdetence no man cao deny who remewh@s the Jact that the whole foundation of that party is the assertion that ‘slavery is an evil and a crime.’’ The only logioal develope ment of this idea ix that proclalined by Horace Greeley, of eternal war on elavery wherever it may exist This is a clear and nocompromising decloration of war against the Souch, and it has heen endoreed by Lincoln hiaelf, fo the an- vouncement of bie conriction that “this Union caupot exist balf slave and balf free.” With euch distinct sod unblashiog announce mente of the future policy of the tederal government, even the wisdom of a babe would counsel the Sonth to put ite house ‘n order aud prepare for the coming emor- weney. Thiv it ie doing, and the fret step ov euch an occasion is the eviucing of & prudent desire to seonre the money that may be wanted. If Lincoln receives the rote of New York on the 6th of November next. the first effect will be @ run on the Southern banks for gold. The contee of exchange is now against New York, large sums and credits being necessarily seut to the South to carrgsthe cotton crop to Burope, and thie will give the Southern banke sn enormous power to drain ours of epecie. Under these ciroumstances we labcre Lard te prove ta! trenton and Gieunion shal bave » [us yu the bunts for gyld gyda thirty dye, and a panic throughout tbe conntey which no bank can withstand. The circulation of even the New York banke wil! not be worth fifty cents on the dollar, for the first step that is taken towards secession in the South will break down the stocks of every State, even those of the North, and render i: impossiole to realize them, Thus the politiolans aud dema- gogues are blindly burrying the people to ruin, without a ingle bope of redemption. ‘Tur New Buooxuyn Panx.— Although the act for laying out a park and parade ground in Brooklyn bas been psesed nearly six months, bo steps have been taken until recently to carry out its provisions The delay bas arisen from the legal difficulties thrown in the way by cer tain Warde of the city, the inhabitants of which were dirsaticfied with the mode of assessment propored in the act. These difficulties, it is now underetood, will be met by an amendment to the law, which will be introduced by the comm'ssionera in the next Legislature. To the park itself no objection is offered in any quar- ter. It is conceded that itis one of the most urgent requirements of a city, the population of which already numbers 300.000, and which is increasing in a ratio almost as rapid as that of New York, Preepect Hill, the eite of the new park, is the finest that could have been chosen for such & purpose, It constitutes a portion of that ele- vated range reelected by Wushiogten for the erection of the earthworks that were to defend New York aguinst the attack of the British, and which would bave successfully accomplished their object if the cbuin of outworks could have been completed before the attack was made, From thiselevation a magnificent panoramic view extends on all sides, There ts notin the world perbops a spot which offers greater natural advantages for a park, or which, possessiog there advantages, can be secured on such rea- sonable terms. The promoters of the euter- prise are therefore right in pusding it through before the rapid advance of buildings ia this direction renders the value of the land too bigh to justify i% appropriation to auch @ purpose. ‘The boundanes of the park, as fixed by the act, are as follows:— It commences at the ioter- eection of Warren street and Washington ave- bue, runs thence soutverly along Wasniagton avenue to the city line at Montgomery street, thence southwesterly in a straight line toa point one thousand feet easterly in a straight live drawn from the iutersectioa of Niath street with the city line, theace to the intersec- tion of the city line and Niath street, thence vorihwesterly along Niath street to Teath avenue, thence nortberly along Teath avenue to the northerly elde of Third street, thence noribwesterly along Third etreet to Ninth avenue, thence northerly slong Ninth avenue to Flatbush avenue, thence along Flatbush avenue to Vanderbilt avenue, thence along Vuenderbilt avenue to Warren street, thence east- erly along Warren street to Washington avenue, at the place of beginoing. The epace bounded by these lines is a4 diversified in surface and in vegetati p ua any spot containing the same area can postibly be. Nearly ia the centre lies the bew distributing reservoir, from which a com- manding view is obtained of the cities of New York und Brooklyn, with their million and a quarter of inbabi‘ants; the inner and onter har- bors, with their frets of ehips and steamers, and Long Isldud and the Atlantic, stretching far away into the dietance There is no other point near the city where the same extensive and richly varied landscape spreads before the eye. Withm the park itself a succession of beautiful wooded bills and broad, green meadows, inter spereed here and there by @ pataral pond of water, offer features of attraction which require butemall aid from art, Unlike the Central Pwk, the Brooklyn Park will! bave the imme- ciate benefit of ebeltered driver, as nearly one hulf the area selected is wooded by trees of large growth, composed of oak, hickory, maple, coxwood aod chestnut. A fine, level space, ruiteble and almost ready for a parade ground, and ebeltered valleys, where every description of plants and trees may be cultivated, complete the advantages of the site so judiciously and providentl) selected. It ie 10 be hoped that these beautiful natural ‘extures will pot be epoiled by the intrusion of too many architectural crotobetsa, The Brook- yn people will epare their money ond gain a reputation for taste by avoiding this besetting sin of the C@Btral Park. In the selection of Mr. fgbert L. Viele as their chief englueer the Brooklyn Commissioners have exercised a sound dircretion. It was this gentleman who wade the firet plans of the Central Park, and if bis ideas bad been carried out in full, iostead of in pert, many of the errors would have teen avoided that bave led to such useless 0 extravagant expenditure of money. Mr. Viele will now bave an opportan- ity of proving the merits of his pertected plans by placing them in this new work io jaxta- position with thore of the Central Park. Tae Cononrssionat, Nomnations--A Goon Exaurte— We have repeatedly pointed out to the diferent partirs opposed to Lincola’s electiog the folly of making three or four diferent nomi- nations for Congress in each district, and thus dividing the strength of the opposition, which should be religiously combined ia order to de- feat the republionn candidate, It would bea diethal and a ebameful thing to see this great commercial consertative metropolis sending ~bolition members to Oongresa. Yet such will be the ineviable result if the contemptible bicker loys and inewne ambition of some of the fac- Honists of the democratic purty be not crashed cut by the good eense of the people. We are very glad to perceive tha! the people of the Eighth district bave followed our coun- rele, and that two of the oppovition candidates have retired from the Oeld, thus leaving ft open for a fair fight between abolitioniem aad con- terva'iem, the feene of which cannot be doubtful, The come policy should be adopted in every Congressional district in the cicy. The casdi- date who would divide the opposition forces is worse than s Lincoln man, and deserves to be defeated. er Wiittameberg City News.
