And on what grounds does Mr. Seward as sume to allay this public alarm? Does he re- tract one word of his brutal and bloody doc trines? No!

Does he prere one etatesmanlike idea of » possible course of suture policy for the government of the increasing millions of an inferior and inca pable race? No! He merely scouts the idea of the Southern people being able to resist the dictates of Northern fanaticism; he merely claims that the Union is too great a blessing to be broken by any possible evil; and he bases hie idea on the assumption that good sense is the ruling quality of the American people. We deny thia asaumption, and we appeal to our recorded history for the past six years to support our denial.

It is also intended that as fast as the returns are made in each ward they are to be telegraphed to the several precinct stations for the benefit of those who may desire to avail themselves of procuring the returns by calling at the station houses.

Guatemala was quiet. Salvador was not oa the best terms with Nicaragua, avd an open rupture even was expected. The difficulty arises oat of the publication of certain letters abusing President Barrios, by persone whc he exiled from Salvador, and whose exp n from Nicara- gua had been demanded and refused. The seat of government of Ni gua had been removed from Managua to Granada, a city which Walker destroyed, but which is being rebuilt, and will be far superior to the old one. It is alleged that President Barrios and the unfortunate Mora had intended invading and partitioning Nicar a. It is certain that Barrios sympathized with Mora and Canas, whose deaths are much regretted in lvador. Congress is to meet on December 16 to the treaty with the United States.

From Maine to Minnesota, and to the ensan guined and now starviog plaias of Kausus, Mr. Seward has for the last few weeks proclaimed the most hostile and blcody principles against the South and ite form of society. Nothing hae been too bitter to be applied by him to States in frater- | pal communion with ourselves. Nothing has been too vindictive to be toculoated by bin against men who look upon bis course, as a pub- lic man, a# calonlated to light the torch ot the inceodiary in their midst; to arm the murderer that is to agsail them in their homes; to urge on four millions of an iaferior to ¢ throogh fire und blood, that equality which nature has de Tage a d@ them and for which God bas pot fitted them. Aud the most remurkuble thing fo thls propagands of Sewardiem ie, tha: he bes just returned t an alt triumphal proclamation of these doctrines through « line of Northern states many of which have already excluded, by statur » vegto from their tetrituries, be is an idle, vicious and banefal member of society, and those which bare not done this have the act in serious contermple tion. The whole teaor of Mr. Seward's public teachings for y past hae been to urge on his followers in the North to claim rights fio the South which they deny them in the North, and which he would bave obtained through s bratal and bloody policy which none but s demagogue would proclaim, and none but o favatic sup- port. At Detroit Mr. Seward gare to the world his moet carefully prepared and cantiourly eauncl- ated programme of this policy; and even there be proclaimed that the only present use of the federal forces was to prevent escaped or emanci- pated slaves from carrying intestine and ser- vile wart into the Southern States; and no longer ago than the 20th of Inst month, ine | epeech at Fredonia, he prociaimed that “the | American people will bave freadom speak and | act, and they will bave it, Union or no Unioa, with slaveholders or withent;” and at the came time be stated that “over Europe there is ne | Power that would accept the protection of the , organs as the * thet even “the Bmperor of Albany Argus-Allas, slave Beates, tion. It did notrule among the people when they set on foot Northern and Southern emi- grant aid societies to imbrue their hands in fra- ternal blood on the now fruitless plains of Kan eas. It did not rule when Brooks assaulted Sumner on the floor of the Senate. It did not rule when sixty-eight representative men io Congress endorsed the incendiary writings of Helper. Itdid not rule in the political con- ventions at Charleston, at Chicago and at Baltl more. It did not rule when John Brown invaded Virginia with Gre and sword, and the bells of a thousand Northern cburcbes tolled mournfully at his merited fate. It bas not ruled wheo de- magogues like Seward in the North and Yancey in the South have come to be accepted leaders of the people. We need not proceed with the citation. Whoever looks over the whole coun- try with an unprejadiced eye cannot but be convinced that unreason is to day the ruling power with the American people North and South, and that ambitious demagogues are lead- ing them toa bitter conflict, from which they can only reap a common ruin anda common desolation. You, William H. Seward, have done as much aa any man to bring about this terrible state of things in our common country. You have been urging on the Northern people to war against a state of society which they kuow nothing of, which has been continually misrepre- sented to them, and for which, if evil it be, they do not possees the remedy. It ill becomes you at this late hour to come forward and proclaim that the people of the South dare not and can. not resist your bloody war upon them. They are of common blood with us, animated by common eentiments of honor with us, possess- ing the same feelings with us, and yet you dare to tell us that they will not resist—what we would resist to the last gasp—a foreign, and not only a foreign, but a hostile dictation. It ill becomes you to talk of good sense ruling, when you have done all you could to drown good sense with fanaticism. Unfortunately the people, immersed in prosperity, have left | public affairs to be conducted by evil men and | ambitious demagoguee, until at last they begia | to believe that this prosperity is eternal—that — nothing can dry up its fountains. You are | conducting them to a sad and bitter unde- | ceiving, from which, if they do not wake now, j they will wake too late, to repeat their folly in sackcloth and ashes. Exectioxrenine Fexps axp Party Lercans.— New York city ts the paradise of electioneering financial committees, collectors and party leeches. Thus. to carry the late Pennsylvania election against the republicans, the big and little Forneye of the Philadelphia democracy bled our liberal merchants to the tune of at lesat Otty thousand dollars. The Philadelphia republicans also obtained liberal contrioutions from this quarter; and, from the general result over there, it would seem that these funds were not pocketed by a few patriotic Forneys. For the general purposes of this momentous cam- paign we dare say that two hundred thousand be Coming Revolution tn Pablic Senti- ment—O'Comor’s and Tiiden’s Lutters. ‘The momentous character of the contest of | material interests, ranged on geographical lines by political influences, which ia opening | on the country, is beginning to rouse the intel- lectnal forces of this metropolitan city, and two of the leading minds at the New York bar—Mr. Charles O’Conor and Mr. Samuel J. Tilden— bave recently published powerful and well prepared arguments on the constitutional iseues involved, and the right of peaceable secession by the States. These arguments are issued too late in the day, perhaps, to affect the reeult of the present contest, but they form groundwork tor the great political discussion which we have now to go through, and draw the lines of the battle of intellect that will rage bere for years to come. Each of these eminent jurists comes to the eame conclusions regarding the right of the South to secede, although pursuing different lines of argument. Mr. O’Conor’s letter, which appeared in yesterday's Herawp, is concise and to the point, intended evidently for popular perusal at the present time ; while that of Mz. Tilden, which has been issued in pamphlet form, is a more extended and labored production. In the fact that these two eminent members of a bar which ia second to none in the country for learning, eloquence and intellectual power, and who have heretofcre been leaders in Gifferent political schools in this State, have, without conference or co operation, taken near- ly identical positions on the greatest question which can agitate this republic, there is great significance. It is a premonition of the propa gaudism and revolution which public opinion in the North is about to experience. As is well known, Mr. O’'Conor has been one of the leading intellects atter the straighteat sect of the bards, while Mr. Tilden was promi nent in the Buffalo echism of 1848, They both now treat the great error of a sectional party, founded in opposition to the social orgasization of fifteen States, in a manner becoming to statesmen, and which leaves far behind the efiorta of men now occupying public station, and who, occupied with the prejudices and passions of a present contest, seem to have no power of ken for the future. Both of them touch with master hand the dangers which even already are aesailing the State, and point uc- answerably to the remedy. The North must recede from the attempt to impose, under a fraternal guise, a foreign and hostile govern ment on the South, or the people of the South must call into action that organized revolution which the founders of our political eystem lett established in the reserved rights of the States. We are glad to see these rising signs of a bealthy state of public opinion in the North When, long since, we pointed out the inevitable results of the teachings which the black repub- lican leaders began to inculcate immediately after the defeat of Fremont, and to expose the dangerous character of their writings and epeakings, the abolitionized politicians were fearful that we would wake the South to alarm too soon, and they denounced the Henan as an abolition organ, as endeavoring to create disunion. Now the danger is upon us, and the first minds of the country are rapidly awakening to the necessity of sustaining us in our position. O'Conor and Tilden have spoken boldly and logically, and their words should be weighed deeply, and their conclusions accepted | beartily, by the Union and peace loving men of the North. They are but the advanced leaders of the intellectual boste that are soon to appear in the areva of our political discussion. The whole American mind is to be stirred to all its Gepths, and the third generation is to give proofs whether it is equal in intellectual power, in political wiedom and in enlightened putriotiem to the first generation that founded, or the second that expounded, our glorious and unequalled constitution. The New York bar has given the first impulse; O’Conor and Tilden have sounded the first bugle notes of the mighty conteet before us. If their words are heeded and their counsels followed, our vast material interests, our Union, and the hopes of our children and children’s children, may be saved from the ruin that now menaces them. Joper Russe, anp THe Biack Rerverican Press.—Tbe organs of the black republican party in this city are making a great noise over Judge Ruseell’s release of the notorious Billy Mulligan a few evenings since, and are falsify- ing the facts in the matter for the purpose of defeating one of the best and most fearless cri- dollars would not cover the collections made by the republicans in this city. This fund has been chiefly consumed in behalf of the Wide Awakes, for oil, camphene, lamps enamelled cloth capes, caps, Ko. and it is evident that this system of organizing and consolidating the porty has fully paid all expenses. Oa the other hand, the contributions from this city in behalf of the democratic Union cause appear to have been worse than wasted, not only in Philadelphia, but in Albany. Some forty thousand dollars or ao, sent up to the disbursing agents ef the Re. gency within the last eight or ten days, if our information is correct, have been appro- Priated, not to aid the Union electoral ticket, but for the epecial benefit of one William Kel ly. the Regency candidate for Governor. But, notwithstanding this treachery, our generous Union merchants have continued their supplies for the Union cause, and, from the jealous con cern in regard to these supplies of such expect apt Union organs as the Jow and the Albany Argys-Aflas, we should guess there waa a considerable Union fund on hand | within the last two or three days. | The hints thrown out by eaid journals tonch: | ing the orthodoxy of the Henaun betray their | fears. But they need not be alarmed. We shall not ask for asbare of these mercantile subsidies, We do not want any euch assistance. We are as independent in the matter of money aa io the matter of parties and party principles. The receipts of the Hrnap from our sab- scribers and advertisers place us far above the comprehension of our hireling party organs. We have never asked, never received, and never wanted, a dollar from this party, that party, or the other, to help us along. On the contrary, we have been more than once called upon, from time to time, by the collecting egents of thisor that party for materisl and financial aid ; but instead of going away with a bank check tp their pockets, they have invaria- bly lof us with «fies in their ears. But enongh of thie. If our Union Committee of Fifteen have any finde remaining on baad, we suggest that they wmoeg ouch hangry sewwpaper Journal of Commerce ema the | ] 7 | rowdy element in our city than any other judge minal judges that ever occupied the bench in this city. They are fearful of the popularity of Mr. Russell with the better class of our citizens, and are trying to poison their minds against him by impugning bis motives in this matter. Now, it is wetl known fact that when the police arrived at the station house with the belligerent parties neither of them would make a cbarge against the other, and certainly Judge Russell could not be the prosecutor and judge in the matter; he bad no power, asa judge. to send Mailigan to prison without a charge being made sgainst him, any more than apy other perron who bad never violated the laws of the land. This talk of Tammany and the black republicans amounts to nothing; it is simply a “Roorback” to prevent the elec- tion of a man whore decisions as a judge of four years’ trial have never been reversed in the bigher courts, and who, however severe be may bave been in some individual cases, has dope more to preserve peace and put down the that ever sat npon the bench.

Progress of the Revolution, In another part of this day’s paper we pub- Jieh intelligence from the South which will keep our Nortbern readers posted as to whut is being done at the otber side of the sectional line. In Virginia the armed preparations are actively going forward, and among the formidable wea- pons are batteries of rifled cannon, The effect of these preparations is to destroy confidence at tbe South in the continuance of the Union, and bence the banks of North Carolina, Kentucky and other Southern States are refusing to have anything to do with Northern bank bills, aa they regard such paper money as very doubt- tul eecurity to them in the event of Mr. Lin- coln’s election on the 6th of November. Our Richmond correspondent comments on the un- belief of the Northern editors, who remiad one of the infatuation of the Jews before the destruc: tion of Jerusalem by the Roman army. He says:— “The dogged incredulity on the part of republican papers and politicians as regards the purposes of the South will prove disastrous, I fear, to the best interests of all sections.” It is very evident to all, except those who are wilfully blicd, that a revolution is going forward at the South as rapidly as avy revolution ever proceeded before, Indeed, it is going ahead with greater rapidity than did our Revolution of 1776. Whether it will be arrested before it is consummated depends on the auction of the North. If the North should prove to the end as obstinate and dogged and insolent as the gov- ernment of George IIL. to the Amerioan colo- nies, the same reeult may reasonably be ex- pected to follow, for the Southern men are. far more the descendants of the heroes who fought in that Revolution than are we at the North, whose blood has been since so mingled with that of other races by immigration. Time will tell whether the warnings now given to the North by the preparations at the South for an armed conflict, if necessary, are without four- dation or not. Though perbaps the surest way of preventing an armed Northern invasion of the South is to be well prepared for the invaders, we do not think there will be any necessity for it, for in no circumstances will a majority of the people of the North ever permit an armed expedition to be sent over Mason and Dixon’s line. However they may mourn over the loss of Southern stars, dis- appearing from the galaxy of the republic, they will never consent to the madness of attempting to coerce them back into the Union by force of arms. Still, thousands at the North and South think differently, and particularly at the South; and the result of this apprehension will be most ruinous to the interests of trade and to every description of business. Already the Southern banks are refusing to touch Northern bills. There is now a complete commercial depres- sion at the South—the commencement of # panic. What will it be after the 6th of Novem ber if the bleck republican candidate should be elected? From that time ferward a political struggle commences which, whatever way it enda, will prove disastrous to the commercial and manufacturing classes, aod to all who are dependent on them for support. Tue Co: cuxssionat Contest ww Tas Crryv.— We notice thut Tammany und the black re publicans are playing into each others hands in many of the Congressional districts ia this city. Io the Third district both sides are puffing sod blowing for Mather, and in the Sixth district for J. Winthrop Chanler. Tae fact of Tammany and the republicans taking up the eame candidates should satisfy any per- ton of the sympatby and private understanding that exist between the two, and the determina tion of the leaders of both to prevent a con servative triumph in this city. It is owing to this understanding, and the bargains that have been entered into between the Tammany and republican leaders, that the latter are counting with confidence upon the elec tion of Williamson in the Third and Conkling in the Sixth district. In fact, the Tribune philosophers assert that they consider there is no doubt of their success in those two districts. This fact should open the eyes of all persons who think of casting a vote aguinet the Mozart nominees in those two districta, the only candidates that stand the least chance of defeat- ing the black republican nominees. The bar- gain bas been made by the leaders of Tammany to elect the republican Congressmen; but we trust that the voters will not allow themselves to sanction any such unboly alliance, but will vote for Cochrane and Wood, as the only mode of preventing the election of black republican members of Congress in this city. Let Tam many receive her just deserts—let her tricks and bargains be repudiated by the people. Dercty Suxnires Requirep at tHe Pots — The republican papers are indignant at the resolution passed by the Board of Alder men on Thursday night. authorizing the Sheriff to appoint special deputies to keep order at the polls on Tuesday next, and see that voters are not obstructed or un- necessarily delayed in depositing their bai- lote by the Wide Awnkes. There is every rea son to believe that this precautica is necessary, end that the Aldermen for once did right; and we bope that the Sheriff will appoint about ten thousand of the best men he can get to see that the polling places are kept free for voters. From what was seen at the New York Hotel, a short time ago, and from the character of the Wide Awake organization, it is not un- reasonable to suppore that some trouble may arise at the polls if a sufficient force is not on Nor is it unjust to suggest that the police caunot be entirely de- pended on, inasmuch as they are almost to a man united in sympathy, if not in action, with the republicans. It would be well, then, to bave a body of independent citizens to look after the public peawe and give fair play to every voter.

The Real Bission of the Independent Pres—A Lite Pisia Tala for the South, We have reprinted in our iaspreesion of to- day an articie from the Charleston Dfercury, aad recommend it to the especial attantion of our readers, both in the North and in the South. Our Charleston cotemporary complains bitterly ov account of the fact that the Northern anti- slavery press is supported handsomely by the Northern people, while the journals which eepoure the cause of the South sre permitted, by the persons whose interests they defend, te languish aod die According to the Mercury, the North is engaged in a crusade against the South, and the Tribune philosophers, as the leaders in the irrepressible conflict, receive solid proofs of the intereat which the North feels ia tbe cause which they have espoused. While the people of the North are expending their treasure as a means whereby to enforce their political views, the planters of the South, whose interesta are more directly concerned, are looking on in 4 listless, languid way, aad permitting things to take their own course. They wil! not move hand or foot to prevent the triumph of the abolition forces. They have brought ruin upon their own heads, and they await the issue with eullen indifference. The “Soutbern preeaee, faithful to the rights and im- stitutions of the South,” eke out a miserable existence; or, too often, die in the ditch. In the particular case of the Mercury. we are in- formed that it has been “for thirty five years @ prominent press in the South,” that ita firet proprietor was ruined; the second * barely earned a osrrow aubsistence; the third injured, but sold out in time; the fourth died a ruined man ;” the fitth, the present pogsessor of this goodly heritage, ie evidently in a bad way. The Mercury, a8 we learn from its own columns, bas been conducted with as much eloquence and ability as any Northern press; yetthe latter has become rich, while the former is as poor se achurch mouse. In conclusion, it is asked, with a good dea! of natural anxie- ty, if the Southern people expect journalists te be ruined in“ the perilous enterprise of de- fending the righta and institutions of the South.” It is urged that if the elavebolders of the South will imitate «the enlightened selfishness of the North,’ and support their newspapers, the lat- ter may yet “bring to the South deliverance end liberty * Now there i; some truth anda large modi- cum of error in these complaints of the Mercu- vy. There is a very great difference betweem the press at the North and at the South. The independent press of the North ictends to give a complete record of the events of the day in all parte of the world, with euch comments as may be suggested to the informed, enlightened and unprejediced mind. The independent press, if it really deserves the name, is emi- nently conservative ; it never wavers from its hearty and cordial support of the Union, the constitution and the laws. Its motto is “Jus- tice ; Law; Equality ; Liberty.” It stands be- tween the people and their rulera, aad does not hesitate to rebuke the one or to reprove the ether whea the occasion demands such action, The Southern press of the Charleston Mercury school occupies quite another position. Its com- ductors are politicians, not journalists. They are satisfied with writing two or three leading articles in the week; sometimes they give the local news, and sometimes they ‘pass it over. They do not seem to recognise the fact that to command support they should labor te deserve it. They belong to that school of philosophers of which the man who expected that the larks, ready cooked, would fall from the sky into his mouth was so distinguished a graduate. As to what is called newspaper en- terprise, they kaow little or nothing of it. South of Muson and Dixon's line there is not one journal which deserves the name of a newepaper, according to the Northern view of the subject. It may be urged, and with a great deal of truth, that the Southern people would not sup- port good newepapers if they had them. Our own experience leads us to take this view of the case. It is now more than a quarier of a century since we established the Henata— the first really independent journal which the world ever saw. During our whole career— and it bas been one of unexampled pros- perity—we have taken the conservative view of social and political topics, and have uni- formly defended the South against Northerm tanaticiam ond Puritanism. So earnest and de- voted bave we been in denouncing Northern aggressions upon Southern rights that we have been repeated)y acoused by the abolition press of baving sold ourselves to the slaveholders. Garrison, Greeley and all the rest of the tribe bave denounced us over and over again for our fidelity to the guarantees of the constitu- tion. Well, what has been the resait? The Hrra.p stands to-day, in poiat of circulation, at the bead of all the newspapers in the world. It daily issne is at least four times that of the Trivene; and our support does not come from the South, but from the North, and almost en ively from the city of New York, which is conservative to the backbone. Our conserva- tism bas been owr best bower; it is the star which bas guided us on the road to fortune. And cow, while we stand iu this proud posl- tien can say with truth that the South hee done litte or nothing for the most earnest end untiring of ite defenders. Our whole circule- tion In the slave States is equalled in one ward tn this city, It would be of little moment to us sf pot asingle copy of the New Youn Hrratp was subscribed for in the South. Singular as it tony appear, it is still true, that we circulate more Hxnatos in the six New England than ia the fifteen slave States. Again, we bave found it necessary, at various times, to expose the cor- rupt achemes and disreputable intrigues of some of the petty politicians who have so long humbugged the Southern people. It ie not our custom to spare the Insh and spoil the child, or to use soft words when we have bard facts to deal with. We have always maintained that there was as wide @ Gistinction between the Southern politicians and the Southern people as there is between the Northern people and the Northern politi cians; and we bave not hesitated to denounce the men wh6 have imperiled « good order to minister to the gratification ambition, avarice or fore we have been blackest republican Mason and Dixon’s line Mexico.
