IMPORTANT TO VOTERS, The polls will open to-morrow at sunrise —tirty- t ‘clock. They will close at four o'clock. minutes past sunset Over one hundred: thousand vottrs will make an effort to vote in this metroy With the utmost regularity there will be barely time, between sun- rise and sunset, to enable this large number of our ens to do their duty to the city and country: No time, therefore, should be lost. Have your tickets prepered before going to the polls, and vote early. Our forefathers bled for the Union; let their children save the goodly heeitage by giv- | ing a yote tor the Union. vores FOR THE We shall publish to-morrow the Electoral Ticket, our © Judicial Ticket and the City Congres- sional Tickets, printed with the proper endorse- ments, so that they can be cut out ready for the ballot boxes. These important tickets everybody should have prepared before going to the polls. The News. By the arrival of the steamship Prince Albert at &t. Johns, on Friday night, we have two days later news from Europe. The vote on annexation to Sardinia commenced in Naples on the 2lst of October, when much enthusiasm existed, and im- mense crowds assembled at the voting places, The result had not been ascertained, but it was supposed to be almost unanimous for annexation. A portion of General Cialdini’s forces had encoun- “ered a corps of Neapolitans at Isernia and de- feated them. The Neapolitan General, his offi- re, eight hundred men, and a portion of his artillery, were captured. Garibaldi had offi- ially declared that he would ley down his Dicta- torship on the arrival of Victor Emanuel, and it was rumored that the title of Prince and the rank of General would be offered to him. The royal meeting at Warsaw was progressing, but nothing was known of their proceedings. A reform mani- festo had been published in the Austrian official paper, in which many reforms in the constitution are proposed, and important concessions made to Hungary. The news from England is meager. The Duke of Richmond died on the 21st of October. In Liverpool, on the 224 ult., the cotton market was quiet but firm; flour firm, and partially ad- vanced 6d. per barrel; wheat was active at fall prices, and corn had advanced 6d. a 1s. per quar- ter. The market for American securities was dull, without material change. Our despatch from Washington, published this morning, is of a very interesting character. Des- patches from Mr. Clay, our Minister to Pern, in- form the Secretary of State that the government of Pera had rejected the ultimatum of the United Gtates for the settlement of the claims against that country, and that he had demanded his passports and would leave at once for the United States. On the 10th, the day the steamer left for Panama, the demand had not been complied with. Advices from the flag officer of the Pacific squadron gives all the facts in relation to the arrest of two naval officera at Panama, from which it appears that the officers were to blame in refusing to answer the challenge of the sentries on duty. Despatches from our Minister to China state that all claims of the United States against China, extending from 1840 to 1857, have been fully discharged under Mr. Reid's commercial convention of 1858. The Governor- General speaks in the highest terms of the Ameri- cans, and of his desire to continue friendly rela- tions with this country. By a communication in another column it will be geen that the outrage perpetrated at Rio Hache (New Granada) by the revolutionary troopsagainst the person of our Consul and the flag of the United States, has been promptly redressed by Capt. Poor, of the sloop-of-war St. Louis. Capt. Poor de- manded that the American flag should be hoisted by two Granadian officers, that the troops should file under it, and afterwards salute it wifh three volleys. Tbe authorities at first endeavored to evade giving this satisfaction, but Capt. Poor was peremptory, and they were compelled to comply with bis terms. We have advices from Yucatan to the 13th of October. It appears that the recent outbreak was caused by the imposition of inland duties on goods imported from Campeachy and 8 contention for the revenues of the Island of Carmen. The neighboring provinces determined to invade Cam- peachy, bat the latter anticipated them and was marching an army on the capital to conquer a treaty of peace. The Juarez government was trying to prevent the sale of the Island of Yuca- tecos. The steamer Habana at New Orleans brings dates from Havana to October 30. Sugars were orm at? reals, and molasses very scarce and active. Exchange on New York 2) a 2j premium. The cashier and several other persons connected with the Boone County Bank at Lebanon, lodiana, were arrested at that place on Saturday last, charged with forgery and circulating money fraa- dulently issued. It appears that forty-five thou- sand dollars of genuine notes were issued by the Register of the State, while the officers hid put in cirealation from $300,000 to $500,000 of notes of the bank to which the names of the Auditor and Register of Indiana were forged. The President of the bank had made his escape. ‘We have & very interesting letter from our cor- respondent at Great Salt Lake City, dated Oct. 8. ‘The “Saints” on the 6th of October opened their semi-annual Conference and was attended by of the charch. On the second day Elder Orson Hyde delivered a lengthy discourse, and gave his views on the present political condition of the United States, He predicted that the Union would be dissolved ; that the negroes would be let loose open their masters; that the South would be com led to call in the aid of Groat Britain, who, in ber turn, would be compelied to call in aid from S BALOON, Broadway —Hooury & Canpages | some other quarter, and concluded by prophesying a great and terrible day of wrath for this country for their injustice to the Mormons. The Conference was the largest ever held in the city, some thirteen thousand persons having attended it. Judge Kinney and Mr, Rogers, the Indian agent, had arrived at * alt Lake City. The Mos lor, Captain McGowan, which left this port on tl 6th ot July, arrived in Lota, Chile, on the 16th of September, having coaled at Rio Janeiro in Jat. 36 248., long. 6320 W., fell in with a :chool of sperm whales, and were three hours in passing through them. Sept.7 passed | French ship Sousabay, of Havre, for Valparaiso. | Sept. § passed Cape Virgin, and were boarded by | @ boat from the wreck of the bark Lantaro, of Valparaiso, and took on board sixteen men, wo- | men and children, and brought them to Lota. A | Chilean man-of-war was sent to watch the Gra- | nada and Moses Taylor, as reports were in circu | lation that these steamers were loaded with arms andammunition,and were about to engage in some | filibustering enterprise. Much excitement pre- | vailed during the stay of the vessels. The Moses Taylor was to sail on the 24th inst. for San Fran | cisco via Panama, The Granada sailed on the 16th inst., and was lost on the 13th of October in San ‘ancisco harbor. | We learn by telegraph that the recent fatal | stabbing afray in New Haven, resulting in the | death of a maa named Stafford, did not occar in | the Temple Lunch, but in the street. | Last evening Henry Ward Beecher addressed his congregation in Plymouth church upon their political duties, and the manner in which they | should be discharged on Tuesday next. Rev. Mr. | Harris, of the Greene street Methodist Episcopal | church, also delivered a sermon on the same sub- ject. Reports of the discourses will be found in another part of today’s paper. An address of the Union Committee will be found | in our columns, which contains additional advice to the voters on the day of election, and cautions them against the strategems of the republicans. The severe and incessant fal! of rain on Saturday tended to check transactions in many branches of business, aad to render a!l outdoor operations extremely disagreeable, The sales of cotton footed up doit 1,600 a 2,000 bales, closing steady and without quotable change in prices. The sales of flour were moderate, the upward tendency of freights tended, with the bad woather, to check | sales, while common State and Western brands cloeed dull, Wheat continued to rule with firm. ees, while sales were moderate. Cora was frm and prices unebanged, with sales of Western mixed from store at Tic, and afloat at 70c a 70:0 Pork was tn limited demand; sales meas wore mado at $19 a $19 125%, and of new prime at $14 25.0 $14 60. Sugars wore without change of moment, while the sales embraced about 8000860 bhds. Coffee was quiet but frm. Frejghts wore firm; among the engagements were wheat, bulk and ship's bags, to Liverpool, at 14d a 143¢4., and 6,000 bushels do., in ship's bags, at 14X4., ‘and flour at 88. d., and wheat to London, in ship’s bags, ot 16d, The South and the Revolutionary Comse- quences of Lincoln’s Election, We have to announce this morning that with- in the next thirty-six hours this momentous Presidential contest will have terminated in the triumph or defeat of the republican party and ite sectional programme for the extirpation of Southern slavery. We all know that the whole weight of the | battle is thrown upon the State of New York, and that the decision in the State may be turned to the right or to the left by the result in this city. We all know that the wealth and pros- perity of this city and State flow from the Union of these States, North and South, and that avy serious derangement of our political relations with the South must result in reducing thou- eands of our financial, commercial and manu- facturing classes to bankruptcy, and the mass of our laboring population to idleness and des- tétution. That serious political derangements must follow Lincoln's election we have been endeavoring to show from the alarming mani- festations of Southern public opinion since the late Pennsylvania, Obio and Indiana elections. These manifestations of the temper and purposes of our Southern brethren are too serious to be disregarded any longer. It is not the empty gasconade of noisy politicians that the republi- cans are trifling with, but positive revolution ary movements. Active secession proceedings have already been initiated in several of the Southern States in anticipation of the disunion signal of Lincoln’s election. In South Carolina the Legislature, which is to meet to-morrow, will, perhaps within a few days, prove to the most incredulous that that State is in earnest in her protestations of resist ance to an abolition administration. Alabama and Mississippi, under provisions of law, will each hold a State convention should Lincoln be elected, to decide for their people between submission and secession. From Georgia our advices, almost without interruption, run in favor of immediate and active co-operation with SouthCarolina. These indicated States, once in motion, will necessarily draw into the league Florida, Louisiana, Arkansas and Texas, and the league thus constituted will be quite sufficient for the permanent dissolution of this Union, peace or war. This is the view of an earnest writer to the Charleston Mercury, who says that a few States leading off will render the secession movement “ge secure from attack as any greater number,” and that “it will be even much better for the final and complete effect, and for secession being accomplished peacefully, that no State border. ing on the abolition section shall secede at first, or among the foremost,” because “the border slave States will better serve the more South- ern seceding States, and defend them if assail- ed by the North, by remaining in their present political connection for proper time.” Nor is this idea of a border protection a mere chimera, for in Virginia we are informed full fifty thousand men have been enrolled for the purpose of defence against a Northern invasion. Governor Letcher declares openly that the object of these Virginia military pre- parations, including Minute Men, arms and mu- nitions of war, is to defend any sovereign State against federal coercion. This simply means that Virginia will not permit any federal troops to cross her borders for the purpose of reducing any seceding State or States into sub- mission. Here, then, are the foreshadowed conse- quences of Lincoln's election—the seces- tion ef South Carolina and several other States, and the arming of the border slave States to protect the seceding States from federal coercion. Of course, any attempt by arms on the part of the federal government, under such ® state of things, to coerce the se- ceding States into submission, would be crimi- nally foolish in the highest degree, for it could reeult only in a calamitous civil war. Citizens of New York! all these dangers may be averted in the defeat of Lincoln. Upon New York— more deeply interested in the preservation of the Unicn than any other State—the responsi is thrown, and with a united effort on the | Part of the Union allies of the city and the | State to morrow the Union and the constitution * may still be saved. NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY. The Beiligerent Forces at the Ballot Bor ‘To-Morrow. The great struggle at the ballot box to- morrow in this city is of vital and special importance, owing to the immense number of votes to be polled, and the iofluence which the successful polling of all the conservative ballots presented would bear on the vote of the whole State and we deem it necessary therefore to call to it the attention of those who are on the side of justice and fair play to the South and tbe maintenance of the Union against the de signs of revolutionary parties North and South The number of votes registered in this city will be about 120,000, to which may be added 5,000 voters not registered, but who will have a right to ballot on certain conditions, Tbe appa- rent vote is therefore about 125,000. From this number probably 10,000 may be deducted for thore who, from one cause or auother, have been registered twice over. The balance would tbus be 115,000 persons desirons to vote, and the question arises whether there is time enough to poll the whole or not. The time allotted in each district'is 624 minutes, which, multiplied by 217 districts, gives 134608 minutes in all for the pollog of 115 (00 votes, which is quite insufficient for the purpose. A minute aod a half fer each vote is about the average time, and that would only permit the polling of 90,000 votes between suorie and sunset, which is 25,000 lew than will be offered. Shovld even 90,000 be polled, that will give at least 30,000 majority egainst the republicans. Now, it is higbly important that as many votes as possible should be polled ia New York | city, becauee for every one polledby the repub licans two will be polled against them. Their game, therefore, ie obstruction and delay, in order to have as few votes polled as possible. Indeed, they would be glad if there was not a vote «! all polled in the city of New York, for then they would bave a sure thing in the State But i: is on the majority against them in the city of New Yak that we chiefly depend for counterpoisog their aggre gate majority in the State, witout taking the Empire City into the account. Now, as in some of the districts it would requie the polling of more than two votes to a minite to get all into one bal!ot box—for instance,.o the third district of the Nineteenth ward, i: which there are 1,520 registered votes, beides unregistered, to be polled in 624 minutes—the friends of the Union and the constitution vill see the necessity of voting early themselves and inducing their neighbors on the same eile to vote in good time. It is the early vote that carries the day, for near suneet there is alwsysarush, and num- bers of votes are crowded cut. They will see also the necessity, too, of nct causing delay by challenging votes, unless tlere is good cause, for de'ays will affect the conservative side in the ratio of two to one. The Registry law was invented by the repub licane for the very purpose of causing delay in the vote of the city of New York. By pressing early to the polls and avoiding all unnecessary obstruction of genuine vetes, their objet will be in a great measure defeated. We trut that the Sheriff, too, will exercise his undaibted constitutional and legal right to appoint such a number of active and reliable deputy sheriffs for each polling district as will keep the ballot box clear of any designed obstruction, and as will not permit a black republican police to show favor to their own friends and prevent the polling of conservative votes. As the whole yote of the State, including New York, wil be very close, and a hundred ballots, more 0} lesa, may decide the contest, not only for the Enpire State, but for the whole Union, we think «wery man will recognise the importance of secring the polling of his vote at the earliest posible moment. Sewarp’s Fancactovs Reasons ror tm Ir- REPRESSIBLE Cosriict.—In his speech t the merchants, manufacturers and artisans of New York, on Friday night, Seward gave thm a number of his reasons for urging on the irre. pressible conflict till the existing order of tings in the South shall be destroyed. Anong others be told them that be once went Souh to spy out the land, and here is what hesaw. We give his own words:— But when I came to the cit; that everything was sold: tog inven to he ven." On the read, * and wheeibarrows made at New Haven and bee.” Now this may be a good reason to Mr.Sew- ard for making war upon the South, but o us it forms a most excellent one for remaining on good terms with them. It is because they buy everything that they use from us in the North that we wish the fraternal bonds contismed with us. We hope they will always contnue to wear New York raiment, ride in New Hiven wagons, and consume Northern made arfcles of all kinds. On this depends the welfae of thousands of ekilled workmen in the manafao- tories of New York and New England. Sew- ard’s logic cuts the wrong way for his argu- ment. Again, Mr. Seward claims that the progress of New York has been‘due to her canals, railroads and emigration thrown by them into the far West. We recognise all the greatness that these have produced, but Mr. Seward steadily kept out of view the vast increase we have received from our trade with the South. Have our ship- wrights done nothing? Have our engine build- ers done nothing? Have our machinise done nothing? Have our merchants and samen done nothing? Look at the vast lines of steam- ers and sailing vessels that ply contiqously between the bay of New York and our Soathern porte. Cut them off, says Mr. Seward. Down with the South, cries Mr. Seward. No fellow- ship with slaveholders, bellows Mr. Seward. Now we say that the existing order of things in the South is that which is most conducive to the prosperity of the North. There is no com- petition between them. Each is the comple- ment of the other's industry. Let them be pre- served, therefore, say we, and so will say every man who is not stimulated by fanaticism to throw away that by which he lives and eda- cates his children. — Tue Turmp Coxcresstoxat Distrtor.—There &ré now only two Candidates in this district— Benjamin Wood, democrat, and Amor J. Wil- liamson, republican. The Hon. John C. Mather, seeing the importance of the election to the country, like a patriot, bas withdrawn in favor of Mr. Wood. This settles the difficulty and prevents the election of a republican from this district. | ‘The Secession Movetient ia the South— Further Svidence—Last Effort at Re- conciliation, We lay before our readers today another mars of testimony in corroboration of what we have bitberto said in relation to the secession movement at the South. Our Baltimere cor respondent aeserts that there is a movement inside of thatof the red hot fre-eatera—such as Yancey, Keitt and Rhett. This inner move- ment, while it looks to the secession of South Carolina, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi and Arkansas immediately on the election of Lia- coln a8 @ foregone conclusion, does not see in that an inevitab'e dissolution of the federal Union. It regards a reunion of all the parts as within the range of possibilities, and addresses itself to bringing about that result. For that purpose an address is to be issued to the people of all the States, North and South, inviting them to send delegates to a national conven- tion, in which the relations of the eections to each other may be fully discussed and placed on a more satisfactory footing, and where amendments to the constitution may be agreed upon, to be afterwards made according to the prescribed forms. In the event of the North refusing to take part in this proposed national assembly, or refusing to place the slavery question on basis that will be deemed fair and satisfactory to the South, then the whole body of the Southern States is to secede and a Southern confederacy is to be formed. Such is the programme of this new move ment. Our correspondent asserts that he has seen the draft of the address to be issued, and that it bas been drawn up by a prominent | member of the Union and constitution party. While the fire-eaters are for secession, pure and simple, without any further efforts at compro- mise, they nevertheless very generally give their adhesion to the plam here indicated. We think, at all events, that the cool seriousness and earnestness of the men who have resolved upon this last effort at reconciliation will prove to obstinate unbelievers that the secession movement is something more than mere talk and bravado. Among tbe other items of evidence of the extent of the movement we give a letter from a respected clergyman of Richmond, another from # Northern man resident in Montgomery, and the constitution and by-laws of the South Carolina Minute Men. It is the part of madness to ignore all the positive proof that comes to us showing the magnitude of this secession movement. The evidence is irresistible, and if the North still persists in ridiculing it, it will come upon the country like a thunderclap from a eerene sky. Wise and patriotic men will strive to avert the impending storm. It can yet be done by defeating Lincoln. To- morrow decides the question. Let us hope that the decision will be in favor of the Union and the constitution. Tux ConcressionaL ELECTIONS IN THE MeTRo- rouis—Tue Issvuz in Tae Srxra District.—One of the most important questions to be settled at the ballot box tomorrow is the character of the representatives to Congress that will be sent from this city. Standing, as we do, the lead ing city on the Western Continent—in fact, the commercial and financial centre of the Western World—no person should be empowered by the voice of the people to take # seat in the Con- greesional halls as a representative of this city but those who are able and qualified to master every queetion that comes up, and can speak for the city in a way that will command for us the respect due to our position. Are the anti-republican forces in the eeveral Con- gressional districts meeting the issue as be- comes men discharging that all-important duty? With the single exception of the Sixth, the opposition to the republicans in all the districts of this city have buried their feuds, and are now at work fighting the great conservative battle without being diverted from the real issue by any third party in the field. In the Sixth Congressional district we find them di- vided on petty squabbles, scattering their strength between two candidates, and opening the way for s republican triumph. This should not be permitted to continue until to-morrow : there is a more important question to be settled than merely the personal grudge of any man. The question is not whether this or that man shali be elected, but is the district to be thrown into the hands of the Seward sectional party, instead of being represented by ® conservative man who reflects the real sentiments of a ma- jority of the inhabitants of the district. When questions of this magnitude are at issue, made tenfold more important if the Presiden- tial contest should result in the election of Lin- coln, it is no time to let personal spite or politi- cal disappointment control the vote of any person. The contest in this district, as we have ascertained from a careful canvass, lies directly between Mesere. Cochrane and Conkling; no other possible construction can be made of the attitude of the different parties. Yet in the face of this we find men at work against Mr. Cochrane for no other reason than because they have failed to secure the appointment to this or that two- penny office. Is this, we ask, meeting the issue like democrats! Every impartial ob- server of the field places the issue between the Mozart and the republican nominees. Every vote, therefore, cast for Chanler is so much for the republicans. The issue between Messrs. Cochrane and Conkling is a close one in the district, and one vote may decide the result; let therefore every anti-Lincoln man in the district—let every Union man, every lover of his country—forget his past differences, and vote tomorrow as @ man who fully realizes the importance of the battle being fought. Let bygones be bygones, and, for the purpose of sending ao man to Congress who has proved himself the ablest representative that has been eent from this city for years, cast their vote for John Cochrane, the only person that stands the least cbance to defeat the republican candidate. The question is whether the district shall be represented by « republican or a democrat, andevery democrat in the district who desires to see the former will cast bis vote for Mr. Obanler, and all who wish to see the district represented by @ regular democrat will vote for Mr. Cochrane. That is the issue. —— Jonor Ressent ann Tammany Hatt.—Every imaginable trick will be resorted to to morrow by the hangers on to the wrecked hall of Tam many to prevent the election of Abraham D. Russell, the Mozart Hall candidate for Record- er, ond secure the election of a black republi can to that office. Letno one be deceived by the pretensions or games of the old harlot. NOVEMBER §; 1860. __ aR” More Political Items from the Spirit Land. Our epecial tra"? meu."m has had her hands, or rather her head, fuli 2f busine. since she gave Clay, Jackson and Robedplerre an oppor tunity to be heard upon the present condition of the United States, and the duty of the voters in the election of to-morrow. A good many of the emall politicians have been consulting the spirits about their chances for the Assembly, or local offices, but they can get no information om that subject. The old fellows who have gone before us evidently think that it is of no use to waste time on euch small deer, when vast interests such as the future of the republic and the happiness ot its people are concerned, So they stick to the main question. Aaron Burr bas been heard from. He says that he always knew that the North and South would separate, and that therefore he got up his scheme for a great Southern republic, to in- clude Mexico, Central America, and, perhaps, New Granada, Venezuela, Chile, &c., &c. Burr accuses that pert little chap Seward of having stolen some of bis ideas, and says that if he (Burr) was a traitor, Seward is ten times worse. Jeffereon has heard with amazement that some of the black republicans bave the sublime audacity to say that their principles‘and his are identical. If he was President he would let them know what a wide difference there is between patriotism and fanaticiem. The author of the Declaration of Independence tells the people of the United States to stick by the Union. It is their only ark of safety. Old Israel Putnam made a great pother, and upset everything in the room. He swore a big oath that if he found any of his people in Connecti- cut voting the abolition ticket he would make them lay awake o’nights for the balance of their natural lives. Benedict Arnold was very glad that there was some trouble about the go- verpment. He had always held that a monar- chy was the only thing that the Old Thirteen wanted, and he knew this absurd thing they cal} a republic would not succeed. Ma- rion and Warren came together. They call earnestly on the people of Massachusetts and South Carolina to cease their efforts to atir up sectional strife, and join hands for the Union. George the Third and Lord North were in great glee. They belonged to the I told-how-’twould- be school, which is as numerous in the spirit world as upon the face of the earth. . Marat end Voltaire came along arm-in-arm. The former was shouting out odd lines of a song in praise pf the guillotine, and declared that the only safety for the government was to hang all the aristocrats from the nearest lamp- post. When told there were no aristocrats here he was a little bothered, but finally said that somebody ought to be hung. Voltaire eneered as usual, but finally theught there wouldn't be much of a shower. Daniel Webster made a most impressive appeal for the Union of the States, and quoted the peroration of his great speech to Hayne. General Stark said that if he had imagined the people of the coun- try were to be so false to the trust reposed in them by the fathers, he never would have run the risk of making Molly Stark a widow. Alex- ander Hamilton hoped that old New Yorkers would do their duty next Tuesday. Whenever the country had been in danger previously, New York was relied upon as the chief bulwark of safety. Hamilton had his own opinions as to the theory of the government, but time bad sbown so far that he was not altogether right. He hoped that the government in its present form would last for ages, and firmly believed in its stability. Legion Lee was in great ecstacy when he heard that the Old Dominion was safe for the Union ticket. He hoped that his de scendante in Maryland and Kentucky would do equally well. Macaulay talked a long time with Cromwell on the general subject; but old Noll, who always was a man of few words, con- tented himself with putting in a brief defence of popular government, and walked off with Riche- lieu during the firet of Macaulay’s brilliant flashes of silence. Jeffreys, Caligula, Sextus, Tarquin and some other rascals— antique, medix- val and modern—seemed to enjoy the indefinite prospect of trouble for the model republic; but the patriots, sages and philosophers of all ages looked on with mournful anxiety, and hoped that the people would be true to themselves and to the great principles of constitutional right, to defend which had been their privilege. We shall see to-morrow whether or not our people are worthy of the great trust reposed in their handa. Tue Ayxrety mw Reoarp To Tae Evecriox— Wao 1s To Biame?—That the approaching eleo- tion will be the moet important that this country has ever had is undeniable. An appreciation of this fact, and a dread of the consequences of their votes, cause a great deal of disquietude and alarm, not only among the wholesale deal- ers and merchants, but among the mass of the people. Asa reMult of this there is a feverish- ness, not only among stocks and banks, but in the retail stores, and even in the eating-houses, those infallible indices to the state of the pock- eta and peace of the people. All agree in say- ing that businees is uncommonly dull, and all agree, also, in stating that the cause of their lack of business is the anxiety of their custom- ers about the election and its results. Let us put a stop to this state of things and quiet the country. If every man will do his duty to- morrow we shall accomplish this great object. Polls open at half-past six A. M.—sunrise, Tur Powers or Our Sueniery —A great deal is being said about the powers of the Sheriff in appointing aids on election day, the republi- cans holding that hevthas no power under the laws passed by the last Legislature to appoint deputies. Our Sheriff is a constitutional or State officer, and there are general powers which he has, by virtue of his office, that the Legislalature cannot take away. There is no question bug that he has the power, if he consid- ers there is any danger of a breach of the peace, to sppoint as many deputies as he may desire to; but we presume that our present Sheriff is one of those weak in-the-back gentlemen that will not dare to act, even if there was no doubt as to his power in the question, and the public will have to defend themselves, for all that he will do to protect their rights for them. This dodge of asserting that he hes no power is one of those artifices to prevent an exhibit of his weaknees. Partisan Covrtesy.—The Tritune philoso- phers made a great row the other day because Hon. Masea Greeley was caricatured in the Union procession. These same chaps now allude to one of the opposition candidates as a “person who administers conjugal correction with the Ane You Goma to Vore ror tHe Rerve. LicaN Nomms® FOR Presipeyr !—Sewa!d say8 “there isan irrepressible conflict existing be tween freedom and slavery, which must go on untii all the States become free or all slave.” Giddings sys that “Congress has a right, in case of arupyc're between the North and the South, to free the slaves.” Lincoln, the candi- date for the Presidency; declares “that slavery and freedom can70t exist together.” Now what does all this me*2? Seward, the great leader, if he means anything, Means ¢hatelavery must be abolished South; for h¢ ays we con- flict must go on until all the Siates beco.ue slave or free. The Northern States, having abolished slavery by disposing of their slaves to the South, will not again readopt it; there- fore the Southern States must become free. Giddings says that Congress has the right to liberate the slaves in the Southern States in case of arupture between the North and the South, evidently looking forward to the period when the Northern fanatics shall at- tempt to iet loose the slave upon his master. Linco:n, the Presidential candidate, declares that slavery and freedom cannot exist together, evidently referring to the doctrines preached by Seward, Giddings and others, to be put in practice when the people shall have given him the power. Now, what is to be the result of this irre- preseible conflict? Nothing more nor less than the freedom of the slaves, destruction of com- merce, frightful massacres and the ruin of the Union. Lincoln tells us that freedom and slavery cannot exist together. Cither the slaves must rise upon their masters, or the master must be reduced to an equality with the slave. And as the two races cannot exist together, a war of extermination must follow. And as it is believed that the negro South can- not support himself in a state of freedom, hun- dreds of thousands will emigrate to their friends— the republicans—North, and be placed by them side by side in competition with white men. Are you ready to divide your pat- rimony with the negro? Are you ready to work with him in competition—to work more than you do now for lees pay? If you are, vote for the republican candidate, who, if hon- est, must break up the present relations be- tween the North and the South, the master and the slave, and the best government ever invent- ed for the happiness of man. We cannot live in peace with the South unless we let them alone. Suppose the North were in the minority and the South in the majority, and the South insisted on establishing the institution of slavery North, in opposition to a united North, thus forcing the negro upon us to compete with white men and white labor, would the North submit? Tae Mopvs Oreranpt or THE PRESIDENTIAL Exxcrioy.—A-Southern cotemporary thus brief- ly explains the proceedings involved in the election of a President and Vice President of the United States, to wit:— ‘State on the first Tuesday in November. 2. By the Act of 1792 these electors are to meet on the tn December after, in thelr respecti States, to cast their votes. ‘ oa 8. These votes, when cast, are to be certified by the electors, and sealed up, and sent to the President eaiconidenten of the sisore are be broten spon, and o counted, and the result declared in the presence From these arrangements it will be seen that should the election of President be thrown into the House they will have to come to an eleo- tion in quick time, or the Vice President, who will have been elected in the meantime by the Senate, will become the President of the United States. But let Lincoln be defeated to-morrow, and before the returns are reported to Congress the election can be definitely settled to the satis- faction of the Union allies. The great point is the defeat of Lincoln. Tae Brack Rarvericans’ Estimate or Taw Foreicners.—We should like to hear what Mr. Lincoln, Mr. Seward, or their friends, have to say in explanation of that speech of Mr. Seward in the Senate last June, from which we gave a few extracts yesterday. Fruitful as he is in re- sources, plausible as he knows how to be at all times, Jesuitical as we all know him to be, we are anxious to see what new device he will hit on to explain away his slanders on our foreign born population. Does he still hold that Europe sends us only those whose “only qualification is & capacity to till our fields and dig in our mines?” Will he repeat or retract the state. ment that European emigration has been “a continual cause of heartburning among the American people?” Are foreigners indeed “in- capable of appreciating the rights of American citizenship,” as he gravely told the Senate; and are they on a par with the “ignorant and base” coolies that we import from China? We ask the slippery author of the irrepressi- ble conflict to reassert or to retract the decla- rations of this tariff speech of his. There is but one day left for him to do it. If he cannot re- concile these slanders of last summer upon our intelligent foreign born population with the fulsome compliments which he paid them on his Western tour, at the expense of the native popa- lation, there can be but one opinion held about him. That is, that he is a double-dealing, hypo- critical demagogue, and that the party of which he is the mouthpiece is not worthy the votes of either native or foreign born. Let both classes unite to-morrow in putting the brand of con- demnation on bim and his party. Ovr Mercwants axp tux Exxctiox.—The proposition of Mr. Belmont, at the last Union meeting, that the places of business should be closed on Tuesday, was received with great entbusissm. Our merchants are alive to the importance of the iseue to be decided at this election, and we expect to see to-morrow a spectacle such as is seldom to be seen in this world. Wien 1s Tax Berrer !--The organs of Lin- coin are greatly in fear that there will be no election of President by the people, and that the choice will devolve upon the House of Representatives, which, they say, will cause a general fight and much bloodshed in Congress. If Lincoln is elected there is great danger that the North and South will come to open war, in which all trade and industry witl perish, and only the demagognes and politicians will thrive, by increasing the passions of the people. Should the election go into the House, how- ever, then It will be only the politicians that will do the fighting, while the whole country, will look on with pretty much the same inter oat that the woman looked on the fight between the man and the bear. Now, which is better, that the interests of thirty millions of people sball toe of his boot.” There's a refreshing instance | be iavolved inthe havoc of civil war, or tliat of courtesy among partisans for you. thirty Cougresamen should Sight in duels and
