FIRST DESPATCH. Mr. OHARLES SPENCER announced that he had re- ceived @ despatch from a member of Congress in Maine to the eect that the republican majority would be over twenty thousand. This was received with enthusiastic cheers. Mr. Spencer congratulated the audience that the conservative and radical republicans of the city of w York had conquered their prejudices and were now a unit, He assured their country friends that at } the approaching election this city wouid give fifty thousand republican votea, (Applause.) ORGANIZATION OF THB MEETING. Mr, Tuomas Monriy Was called upon to preside, and without making a speech introduced Hon. HENRY J, Raymond, who proceeded to discuss the issues of the contest. He said that when he last addressed an audience in that building it was in favor of the elec- tion of Abraham Lincoln, who was then in person, ‘as his name would be throngh all the ages of our subsequent history, the representative of American nationality and of American union against all at- tempts to defeat and distract it. The rebetlion was crnshed and peace had been restored to our beloved country. (Here General Kilpatrick appeared upon the stage and was warmly applauded.) } The progress of reconstruction was going on and would result in permanent peace. The growth of national character and the development of national resources would cure all the effects of bad legislation and heal the wounds of the war. If the country had four years of leadersbip of General Grant pro- sperity would be secured. Why shonld we not be allowed to carry out the beneficent system of recon- struction tinder the guidance of the man who carried our armies through the war, who crushed the rebel- } lion and gave victory to our fag? Why should we not goon in the bortal process of growth’ Simply because the democratic party wanted the spoiis, They proposed to uot only wrest all this process of national development, but they proposed to create a reaction and desiroy everything that had been done since the war was ended, SECOND DESPATCR. Mr. SPeNcrA said that was agreed that the speakers «bould be interru aptend Whenever news was recelved from Maine.

Mr. Raysonp continued by observing that in the past he had heen overtnduigent to the people of the Soulhern States. He was disposed to say to them— “You have made the issue, you tried to overthrow the government for sour own advantage, you have been trodden in the dust, sour property has been desiroyed, you have beeu broken up in every relas tdon ¢ now beviave yourself and come back.

Judge Busteed’s: remarks were so Lame and wainteresting that they fell| like a wet blanket — the hitherto hilarious and Jocose agsembiage, the oniy break in the monotony of his address being that whenever he mentioned the name of Blaira person in the crowd would sud- ly electrify the hall by a prolonged imitation of sheep’s blea., or “blair,” which elicited bursts of jaugnter. ‘Tue impressible Charley, to keep up the fagging interest in the proceedings, Interrupted Busteed with the eleciric announcement of “another despatch from Blaine.” Voices —Read it, Charley.

Mr. BRADLEY (colored) then came forward and at once became the principal object of ovation, The whole assemblage cheered with the greatest entha- slasta, the band playing, but the inusic was drowned in the volume of sound that came from the cheering throats of the vast assemblage. After rilence was restored Mr. Bradley proceeded with his address, dweiling chiefly upon the action of the Georgia Legisiatore in expelling himself and hia colored col- leagues from the Legislature of that State. He claimed that under the fourwenth article of amend. ment to the constitution the negroes of the State of New York, as well as those of Georgia, were entitied to all the rights of citizenship, and that the State law of New York requiring # hegre property quali- fication was abolished by the passage of the article of amendment to the constiint THE “OLD HUNDEI At the elose of Mr. Bradley's remarks Mr, | Spencer came. once more to the. frant and called upon the iu up and join with Isaac Hundredth.” ing, ladies and ali, to stand |.

A Washington special says Seward has purchased Sonora end Sinaloa from Mexico. To assert that the news spread like wildfire thronghout the city would be an unreasonably tame way of expressing the sensation produced, and no other statement than that of a tremendous political earthquake fully conveys the idea of the effect upon the populace by the intelligence given in the above brief telegraphic despateh. Accompanying the telegram were editortals in the San Francisco Bulletin, the leading political journal on the Pacific coast, and the Sacramento Union, the best ‘“‘news” paper west of the Rocky Mountains. Both these infuential journals in said editorials argued on the basis that the despatch must have had some foundation of truth, although at the time of the departure of the steamer from San Francisco, which Wats some days after firat receipt of the despateh, it was neither confirmed nor contradicted. This to us bere seems very strange, as important despatches luke that to which we allude are elther denied or substantiated by next day’s report. But taken as a truth or as the foreshadowing of a great truth that Mes first for forthcoming from what we call manifest destiny, the reported acquisition of these rich, we can say immensely rich, States to the American Tepublic is @ subject worthy of the greatest atten- tion, The Mexicans are not insensible to the great value of Sonora and Smaloa, of course, Lower Oalifornia is included in the purchase, even if these three Territories be now more of a burden than a benefit to the supreme government. National pride is an element that will show itself even in national poverty. However veggarly Mexico may be, and though she must be classed among the aristocracy of codfish nations, still, like those families whom the wits place in the ranks of the codiish aristocracy, she will try to Keep up @ good appearance, though going to the devil as fast as she can. This false pride, the exhibition of which humiliates the ex- hibitor in the eyes of all sensible men, was exhibited here in glowing colors, nor has tt yet ceased, in con- nection with the reports of annexation by purchase of these Pacific States. Papers containing the news were eagerly sougit for, and the people—no, not the People, Dut the officials of all” rades and classes, worlds above. Miaister Romero, who, at date of the reception of the despatch here, was seahoaes to be in Washington, met with like benedictions; and yet many of these very men who were cursing Juarez have been in rebeilion against him, denouncing tim as a traitor and usurper, and will be found in the Kame category again if bullets or hemp do not put 2. end to their existence. The masses of the poor would gladly welcome the Americans, for they are so tired of poverty and revolutions that the government | is becoming unendurable. Poverty exists here to such an alarming extent that the Ayuntamiento (Common Council) are compelled to send for a large invoice of breadstulfs to San Franciseo through an American produce commissioner, in order to allevi- aie the distress; and if the reader could only visit Mazatian on a Saturday (“beggars’ day,” as it is called) and se he truly appalling wrecks of humanity, old, lame and blind, wretched beyond description, begging about from door to door, be would need no other evidence to confirm him that some change to bencilt the condition of the lower orders would be God's blessit ‘The laboring classes, then, and the poor are ready for a change, and they auxiously desire it.

THK ORIGIN OF CHRISTIANITY AND A COMMENTARY TO THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES. By Isaac M. Wise, Cincinnati: Black & Co. ‘The author of this volume contributes to the re- ligious literature of our age the results of twenty years of individual research, His conclustona— which he states with candor, but not without a cer- tain dogmatic positlveness—confict directly with the opinions generally recelved as “orthodox” by the Christian world, Thus he asserts that the four ° gospels, the ongin of which he discusses, ‘cannot be taken as the main sources for the origin of Chris- tianity. They represent it in the second and third stages of its development.” Again he says:—"A careful Investigation {nto the gospels proves that not only no part of the narrative can be fully relied upon a3 being historically certain, but also no speech, par- able or sentence supposed to have been utte! by Jesus himself will staud the test of histori - icism.” Mr. Wise regards the episties as “the oldest Christian lterature and the most un- questionable sources for the origin of Christ- tianity.” He finds in them two entirely distinct sys- tems of Christianity, one of which is represented by Peter, James, Johu and the other original paties, and the other by Paul and his followers. ie his- tory of the development of these two systems is, he says, in the “Acts of the Apostics.”” Therefore he makes the latter serve as the basis to this work. Moreover he draws largely upon the ‘‘Talmud” and other rabbinical scriptures in osder to illustrate and enforce his pecaliar views. The object of the volume he declares to be “truth only, inthe name of God.” It will not be enough for Christian theologians simply to denounce the book as embodying some of the forms of infidelity, They must carefully examine the junds of this fresh attack on the commonly recelved opinions respecting the orfgin of Christianity, and refute the arguments of Mr. Wise tothe best of their ability. The truth will never suffer by the most CF hal? researches conducted in a scientific method, The divine origin and real nature of Christianity will not be disturbed even by the flercest controversies. True Christianity will remain the same, however widely doctors of divinity may disagree about it. MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS. Board of Aldermen.
