SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE HERALD. ALarge Democratic Muss Meeting in Nashua— jay Dean, of Low: nd Montgomery of Maryland, on the National Ques- tious of the Duy. Nasuva, Feb, 21, 1868. The democracy of thie section of the State, bordering clo-ely on Massachusetts, had a rally of some impor- tanco 1p this city this evening. The comers were suffi- cient to fill the spacious City Hall in every part, and a great many who came late were reluctantly compelled to stay outside, ao numerous in numbers were those who preceded them. The speakers wore Hoary Clay Dean, of Iowa, and Montgomery Blair, of Maryland, both of whom advanced ideas which found a hearty echo in the minds of those who listened to them. Mr, Dean, in beginning, complimented the citizens of New Hampshire for their intelligence, sobriety and re- ligion, all of which were sure guarantees that they were right on all of the sational questions. He proposed to make a very short speech, and he would undertako to make it even shorter than be first anticipated if any re- publican wished to reply to him. No one signifying a wish to discuss politics witb bim, Mr. Dean proceeded first to criticise the republican party and its acts, declaring that it sougut to destroy a civil gov- ernment and es.ablish a military dynasty, aud also wished to destroy civilization among the whites and elevate the niggers. According to republican dictionaries, one half of the men are angels and the other half are snakes—coppernead snakes, One class of men bad all the rights, and more than are guaranteed by the constitution, and another ciass had no rights whatever, He would ask, inthe name of God, why he could not have the same rights as a republican, for bis father fought in 1812, bis graud{atber and great grand- father were wounded at braodywine and Valioy Forge, and he paid a tax on seven thousand acres of land. Yet in the face of all this the radicals claimed that he had no riguts, ond thoy further argued that ail traitors are to be disfranchised, This last assump- tion of bis oppeveats he would utterly and emphatically deny cvon in Now Hampshire, unless it was clearly proved by trial and conviction that the accused wore really traitors, He then alluded to the reluctance of the republicans to bring those to trial whom they charged ax being traitors, Even Jef Davis they were afraid to try, and still not a democrat could be found but was in favyer of tis trial. Tho tact is they ure uiraid to try nim; for before he came out an open aud avowed rebel those who are Dow in league with the ropubiican party were in league with Davis, Greeiey, he said, was alreid to have tum tried; fur if bo had been convictwd the philosopker of the’ Tilene would have nad his trial next, and in order to avoid this he went bail for Mr. Davis. In viow of all this, he Said that democrats suck ag him were called copper- heads, and for one he gloried in the namo and was proua to be the yeliowest of copperheads, if sanding up tor the Union and ¢ itution constituted one, Such copperheads, he added, will live in the honored memory ‘Of Lhe next generation aad for generations to come, loug atter the present race of (raiturs is dead, rotten, damned aud torgouen, He then proceeded to argue the rigat of the Southern states to admission ana rep- resentation in Congress, claiming that so long as men who believed in suca legislation bad control of aftairs the Hberties and bardly the hives of the peopie are secu! He then took occasion to rebuke ene whom he tormod a “sueaking sheep thief in Concord,” for circu. lating the circa.ar Contajuing extracts from bis speeches at the McUiellaa Convention, charging thas their autuor had neither the maatiness nor ability to meet bim in a fair and open discussion, The speaker then auvanced to the table occupied by the reporvers and borrowed a tive dullar greenback from the Haran representative, which be beld up before the aadience and pointed to it as a worthless sbadow of money, a mero promise to and a promise never to de tulilied, Having returned the greenback he proceeded to charge tha existence o° such a worthless bach 0: greenoacks to the treasonabie acs of the rep’ 3 Who 10 site not far in the distance will be dainued tor. ever.

THE WEST INDIA FRUIT TRADE. Oranges, Bannnas, Pineapples, and the Tratic in Them—Extent and Distribution of the Trade—Former Whims as to Steam Navigation in Connection With the Bani- ness—The Old System aud the New—Inuova- tions for the Better. sd ‘New York city employs more or less regularly from three to four hundred vessels in the West India fruit trade—the holiday searous representing the most lucra- tive periods of venture—oranges, bananas, pincapples and cocoanuts being the principal fruits supplied to the market from this source, The orange season, which begins regularly in September and closes with the month of February, bas been one of exceedingly plentiful supply, the bulk of the sales having been dur- ing the period of tho winter holidays, Al- ready the cry of “fresh Havana oranges, ten for twenty-five cents,” has become Jess frequent than it’ was @ month since, and genorally the regular dealers are beginning to absorb most of the oranges in the market for the limited domand of the summer sol- stice; and speedily fresh oranges will bave disap- peared from the market, and the deep reddish yellow ness of ripened age will blush in globes of scarlet tinted gold from buckster’s stand and Broadway show window; for the orange rind darkens with od that which was paler than Roman gold when taken from the barrel of the importer ripens into deep Etruscan yellow whon exposed for a few days to the ripening sunlight, This metsmorphosis is especially true of the Havana orange—by far the best in tbe market—though the smaller Seville orange has always a darker reddish hue of rind, which causes it to resemble a globe of curdied sunlight, and whioh alters Jess with age than that of the Havana, The orange importation of toe season may be reckoned, therefore, as substantially closed, though tbe 4th of July wil no doubt bring a few addivonal invoices of the more fully ripened fruit to the New York market, The great dependence of the season is, therefore, of course, the period ot the winter holidays, and the whole monib of December is one of lively competition among importera 1. is computed, in fact, that filty per cent of tue whole New York con- sumption of this fruit is during the month bounded by the middie of December and the middle of January— the best season for the wholesale trade being in De- cember, before the holidays, For this reasua the im- portaion of oranges is a business attended with con- siderable r.sk, since, should the invoices of the importer, for any reason, arrive too jate for the holiday trade the venture is often disposed of at considerable lose, or ia left on tne hands of the holder, uusalable at any except ruimous prices, Fortuues bay been made aad 10st In Lhe BAe Beason, a singie un- lucky Venlure sometimes serving to neuiranze a whole sexson of prosperity; for, be it understood, the higa price of West Indian fruit ia pot due go parucularly to tue profits of tue importer as 10 tuoae of the middie inen. It may bo added, in iact, that im trade genoraliy the several percentages of profit which accrue to the middie men oF distributors make the oue gra cause of high prices to the cousumer, For iw-tance, a barre: of Oranges just unloaded irom ibe vessel i worn turee aviiars at present imurket prices, Assuried for the market—wnich procsss cousiste mp cking out the rotten iruit and that whicu ts tainved— barrel of tho same dimensions is worth eight doilars; and, still further assorted for the Browdway trade, oranges are Worth irom iifty 40 seventy-tive cents per dozea, or from tour to five doliars per bundred, wuich Jast ig the usual mode of buying among Broadway doalers. ‘A Viett to Burling #)'p or Washington Market—tne for- mer being inust available for all yurposes—tends io Lur- nish some idea of the extent of this iade; nor Is it an uncommon signt tO gee tive or 8X UUtdred buireis of Oranges at Luv foot of tne lormer thorougbiare, with four or five men bu-ily engag d in assuring ‘Along through the ew sunny days of tue iatter part ui Febru. ary—for tue cimax of the seasda closes win this month—it is intereting 10 take notes ot the unwacing of an orange ship 3 bun. ared barrels of the yellow giobes, someumes more, someumes — less, by snore, are marshalled 1a ranks along the wharf in sond phalanx, witn hardly space iv move bo.weeu tuem.

Like moat innovations of the sort, experiment was the result Of @ bappy accident, however, though its institution has Wrought something of a revolution in the business. Not three years since Wost India fruit was reckoned as a luxury not exactly withio the compass of frugal and economical people, a sort of tacit combination existing among dealers by which prices were maintained at & fancy figure, and the increase of the business, 40 far a volume ts concerned, was materially retarded. The ‘ters, Who were comparatively few, were content with ‘ge Proits and very moderate sales—a theory which rendered the trade sater than upon a prinetpie uf more moderate profits, it being hardly possible, ¢ther by d- cay Or otherwise, s0 to contract the acvrogate sales As to shut ous all margin of profit. Ventures in the fruit trade under the old rigime were, therefore, far more saier formerly than they are now, competition having had" considerable intivence ‘in reducing prices, Profits of the middie men were aiso exorbitantly heavy, there being littie competition for the market and a of prices having olution more or it in tt matter by the & more enterprising mode of business— viz, by addressing the consumer as directly as possivie and by reducing! prices 80 ag to represent only a mode- rate and justifiable profit—an innovation (so say the deal- ers) for which the pubic will be vastly more obliged to Mr. Lorilerd than have been or are the dealers in general, who complain bitteriy that the occupaiton of Othelio 1s lesa remunerative than it was io the halcyon days when an orange was a luxury only to be tadulzed im at holiday seasons, and even then very moderately. ‘Yhe tendency of Mr. Lorillard’s system of doing busi- ness has been, im fact, heaithy, and will no doubt be vastly influential in developing this line of trade to Ks utmost capacity. Already Broadway dealers are bexin- ning to couemplate the probable necessity of a furtuer Teduction in prices; though as a general rule fruits are not the mainstay of the leading Broadway houses— wines and fancy groceries forming the staple of trade Qud traits being merely a sort of accessory. cery # ores rally prices have al more moderate, thougu not exactly ruinou: from these that the great mats of fruit consumed is sup- phed, Asa class, moreover, tne sybsiantial grocery men are not addicted to fancy priced in buying; und hence this class of trade basa natural affinity for the more enterprising system of large sales, moderate pro- tits and quick re‘urns, ‘These elements introduced and Carried out, the traderin fruits assumes the consistency of # legitimate business, which, in realiiy, it never has been—a certain system of iaeai values having hereto- fore been one of its component parts; and the public cannot but be vastly indebted to the enterprise which has introduced into @ hitberto somewhat fanciful busi- ness a siric percen‘age of just profit and ne more, ‘These remarks in relation to the trade in oranges more especially, apply with equal feligity to the enure trade io West India fru.ts, such as 8, cocoanuts, piie- apples, pomegranates, malaga grapes, shaddocks and the hke—the latier being simply a Cuarse sort of orange, of Injerior quality and not to be Yhe banana season is hardly to be considered as open yet, though April and May wil bring aplondid “supplies, ihe trade im _ pineappies really commences in May, and of the supply iu tnis respect little can be at present sik ‘The cousumption of bananas in New York cily ranks next to that of oranges, tuough im the country they aro very Lute known; and there are people enough within ‘Atty miles of New York who have ue-ver even seen oue. la Boston even the cousumption of this fruit is very lmited, while in Southera civies bananas form an articie ©. diet, as for instance in New Orians, where beef high and fruits are inoderately inexpensive. In their veason, a Southera hotel wituout its bananas by way of dessert would be so:mething of a novelty; in New York they are usod moderately \or the same purpuse; but in the cities of New Engiand they are scarcely khown in this capacity.
