Will you be kind enough to contradict the report, as it is not true, Tin Democratic members of the Legislature which has just adjourned have issued an address I their what in their opinion is the present policy of the Domocratic party. The address opens with an account of the corrupt bargain by which a Democratic member was elected to the Speakership of the Assembly. The system of arbitrary arrest is condemned in pro Speeches of the Revs.

B. Chittenden and Mayor Kalbfleisch. A public meeting to express sympathy with the early closing movement was held la6t evening at the Academy of Music.

"Who aro the merchants art employers of to day The clerks of yesterday. The clerks or to day will in time take the places of the merchants and fill their positions in society. Now is the time to train them to properly fill those positions. Give these men an opportunity to stndy finances and politics; to cultivate the arts; to improve their minds by literary pursuits, and enlarge their minds and hearts by religions communion. Ho wished to speak a few words to Indies, particularly to those who had a monomania for shopping.

There was no reason why they sliould not do their shopping the day time. One reason why they should bo in favor of early closing was that early closing tends to early marriages, and he believed in early marriages. (Laughter.) Many a young man was saved from destruetipn by having a homo ana a fireside to go to, and ho believed that every young man should marry as soon as he could make a decent livelihood, and go to housekeeping, if ho had nothing but a stove and a three legged stool. (Laughter.) When he was a young man, the most pleasing recreation of the young folks was a game called sparking." It required two persons to play it therefore it waB neccscary, for the sake of the ladies, who would find it dreadful dull work sitting nil alone of an evening, to liberate tho young men from the store to come and sit besida them. In conclusion the Bev.

On the morning of the 11th instant a body of rebel troops, commanded by Governor Wise in person, advanced on Williamsburg, drovo in our pickets, occupied the town, and at once commenced shelling this Fort and the different redoubts between us and the town. (They being good artillerists the shell burst around us, in fact too close for comfort.) Colonel West then ordered the shelling of tbe town, and immediately two 20 pound Parrot guns were sending their missiles of death and destruction far into the town. These pieces were worked by the members of G. Company, who bad fortunately been ordered only a few days previous to garrison the Fort.

Mr. Chittenden said he had had exnerienco In this cus movement will be a un fair accompli, and it augurs well to see so many of the fair sex here this evening. Some are onnosed to all reforms.

For seven years, ironvthe age of 14 to 21, he had stood what not one man in twenty could have endured or stood. He slept iu tho store, rose at half past six in the morning, opened tbe store, and closed it at 9tf in the evening. But he had staid there because his mother told him. His mother told him toobev his employers, and so steeped, so cruel.

The Democratic members of the Legislatu liave issued an address to the people of the State. The most important points of it will he louud elsewhere. The views laid down are little more than an amplification of those expressed by the Democratic State Convention last fall. Accepting, then, as the policy of the party, the platform laid down by those who alone are authorized to speak for it, iip.111 the ques tion of continuing the war, there is no difference of opinion between the two great parties into which the people are IV: hold that the humblest citizen has the clearest right to advocate any policy that will in his opinion subserve the interest of his country. We arc willing to concede to the sincerity of those who believe that a reconstruction of the Union can be eSecicd by the adoption now of a peace policy.

Neither of the great parties share in this belief. Both concede if the Republic is to be preserved, those opposing it with arms in their hands must be put down. Let what will come defmate multiplication of tinted States HunKs within the States is a bad one, and is opposed to the often expressed and emphatic will of the people, who desire to retain the State Banking Law which experience has proved to be excellent in its operations. Ground is taken that this is one of many schemes looking to the centralization of power in Washington, to the destruction of the rights of the States, the real bulwark of our liberties. Of the conscription law it thus speaks Despite these evidences of spontaneous patriotism and public spirit, the Federal Government refuses any longer to rely upon the Militia and Volunteers of the States, and selling aside the ExecutiTe and Legislative authorities thereof, proposes to absorb their functions, and to organize the army by forced Conscription, placing money above life, and allowing those owing allegiance to government to escape service upon the payment of a pecuniary condition.

Against a measure so uncongenial to the genius of our institutions, so different from the policy of the past, so liable to Constitutional objections in theory, and to practical dangers In execution, we protest. Tbe ballot box. the Judicial tribunals, and other organs of the sentiment of a free people, will ultimately give their decision upon this measure, and to them we leave After the restoration of the views so ably expressed by Gov. Seymour in his veto of the bill allowing soldiers to vote, the Democracy are vindicated from the asx)ersions so gibly uttered in these times iind horses, a numDer oi wnicu are now lyingaeau ami mangled in the streets of the town. Col.

West then sent orders for the four companies of this regiment who were outside of the rort, to come at once to his support, which thev did with a eht (food will. as interfering with interests. Some Bay the early closing of stores will make the streets dark. It will only make business streets like streets where there are no stores, and it would be better to enjoy cheaply the show of the stores in day time. Some ladies may say that it is well to see how goods will look at night, but some stores are fitted up to show in mid day how things will look at night.

We had best try this reform and if tbe experiment well and thoroughly tried, does not work, we can go back to the present plan. Let us try it thorougly, and if the ladies sustaiu it, it will be a success. Mr. Burnham then read the following list of Vice Presidents and Secretaries, which was adopted Vice Presidents Hon. S.

It cramps their intellect and tbeir energies, aid unfits them for all their duties. He came here to bid this movement a hearty God speed; and he conjured the men who have it in tbeir control to listen to reason. There is no need of argument to show that keeping men 'at work from 6 till 9 at night is a process of destroying their souls, and the man who does this Ij destroying fats Own soul In the same process. (Applause.) The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, who had come on the stege while Mr.

Chittenden was speaking, was next introduced, and was received with applause. He said Our country was so happily constituted that no want could long exist after it was made known. The people were a Court of last resort, standing behind all other Courts, for the redress of grievances. Tho wrongs of the young men kept confined in stores, when once tully understood, would be rectified. If they consult among among themselves and come in a body before the public and say, we are unnecessarily kept confined and cut off from social enjoyment and attendance to our moral welfare by the customs of business, if they come in this manner before the community then the wrong will he rectified.

This meeting was auspicious. The movement was not a combination of the clerks against their employers, but he saw that the merchants themselves were interested and had taken pa in it. This was ai it should be the young men and their employers should feel alike in this matter; they should understand each other and co operate. Now both have come before you and say will you let us W.

Wise addressed them, and stated that he cafiiS to taao this fort and was "going at it immediately, but as yet has not kept his promise; however, just as soon as he sees Ht let him come and he will meet with a warm reception. By the way, last evening I was reading the paper, I noticed an article from the Richmond IKspatci, headed in this style "Another great victory for Gen. Wise. Capture of Fort Magruder and one thousand prisoners." Of course it was an outrageous lie, and gives us a fine idea of the manner in which the spirits of the Confederate soidier is maintained. Quite a number of their men have come into our lines and given themselves up, principally cavalry, and they state that if tbe infantry had a chance, that they would desert by companies.

They all seem to bo heartily sick of tbe war. Their force, from different statements, amounts to about infantry, one regiment of cavalry and a battery of six and twelve pounders. Wc have taken about thirty prisoners, two of which arc commissioned officers. They have all been forwarded to Fort Monroe; live of the men have taken the oath of allegiance. Our loss lias been small.

Our worthy Colonel (Conk) has been night and day on tbe alert, and richly deserves the confidence and love bestowed upon him by both officers nod men.

There is no middle ground we can have peace if we desire it. the price of it is the disolution of the Union. The differences between the two great parties are: The Democratic party, while waging war for law and liberiy, desire to at the North liberty and law. The Union, despite the arithmeticians of the Tribune, who proved it was not worth a dollar, is of priceless value; but to give up for it civil liberty, is to give up all that made the Union priceless. The Democratic party maintain that while fighting for the ascendency of the supremelaw at the South, no infringements musf be made upon the liberties of the people of the North.

The Republican party in the Legislature and out of it, are the ap pologists of a system that has brought disgrace and shame upon the Government. Again, the Democratic party desire to limit the object of the war to the restoration of the Union simply. If it is designed to form any other relation between the States, if it is desired to experiment in the hope of devising a better system, the Democratic party believe that the people striking about in their blind furey thev know not at what, or for what would effect nothing. They ask no upheaval of the industrial institutions of the South, they desire to conduct the war bo that even the defeat of those we hope to treat as fellow citizens again, will leave behind it no irreconcilable hatred, which would place within the heart of the Republic another Poland, discontented, disaffected, rejoicing in our difficulties in the hope that through them it might escape from a yoke which would be intolerable. The Democrats of the Northern Stales need no exculpation from the charge of want of fidelity to the country.

They leave the professions of ultra loyalty to those upon whose patriotism the political of the country casts doubt. During the Revolution the Tories, who gave "unqualified support" to the administration of George formed themselves into Loyal Leagues, and were known through the contest as Loyalists. The upholders of arbitrary power, and of acts opposed to freedom, naturally take the same course and adept tbe same terms. But is there any reason for Democrats joining a defeated party, in assuming a dishonored name That we apprehend in these artfully contrived measures of Federal Consolidation, danger to the free institution of the North is not to be concealed. The government influence at "Washington is that of a minority in theso States.

It makes up in rashness and violence for its want of force and wisdom. It is not loyal to the Constitution, nor true to the Union. "For forty years," says one of its leaders. I have labored for the dissolution of the Union;" and he thauked God when the wicked and criminal blow was struck by the armed Secessionists of the South, that the sectionalists of that quarter had thus come to his aid. THE SECESSIONISTS.

The Secessionists who armed themselves against the Union, were in a like manner a minority at the South, who made up by violence for their want of numbers. Thus two great divisions of the Union have been thrown into a desolating civil war by the acts of desperate men to whom the people refused confidence in ordinary times of peace: but who, takiDg advantage of their position, and appealing to sectional passions, produced a collision which involved all classes and alt interests in the conflict, and gave to the conspirators and demagogues, at both extremes, position, power, and plunder. TEAR TUAT INDECISIVE WAR MAY BE FOLLOWED 11V A DISASTROUS PEACB. Since that State paper was proclaimed, (tbe emancipation proclamation.) tbe dangers have increased and the sky is darkened by impending disasters and gloomy doubt.

The following resolutions were then read and adopted Whereas, An examination into the variouB branches of business in this city, has disclosed the fact that the retail merchants and the clerks in their employ are, by the existing customs, required to labor many more honrs in the day than persons engaged in other employments, and there appearing no sufficient reason for suck a requirement, and a movement being now in progress for the purpose of securing to said merchants and clerks some relief from the unnecessary number of hours of labor they are compelled to perform, and this meeting having been called in furtherance of said object and to consider the same, it is therefore Resolved, That we recognise no obligation on the part of the merchants of the City of Brooklyn and the clerks in their employ to devote more time in the prui cution of tbeir business than is usualin other avocations; that such merchants and clerks arc, in common wilii the rest of the community, entitled to rest and relaxation after their labors; that they require and should have opportunity for the benefits and enjoyments of social, moral and literary privileges to enable them to hold that position as citizens which they should of right Juice and liold: that while the wholo of their evenings are devoted to business, they are neceasnr' ly obliged to forego sreh privileges and enjoyments; and that the community has no rigid to demand of tbera such continued application as deprive then of the same. Resolved. That it is the duty of tbepublic to encourage trading, so far as possible, by the light of day, to enable the merchants to close their ptaces of business at an early hour in the evening, and that only by such encouragement, can the ends sought be secured, and we earnestly recommend oil persons to aid the movement for early closiDg of stores, by every proper means in tbeir power. Let ladies and gentlemen, one and all, unite in relieving our merchants and clerks from the fatigue and drudgery of late and confining evening labor. If the stores are not patronized in the evening they will be Resolved, That we recommend all tho merchants in BROOKLYN AGENCY, WBEELER WILSON'S 3E Vf ING MACHINE close early Stores were kept open because it was the custom.

He did not believe a man would keep bis store open and burn gaB ifhe soldnothing. Coming down to original causes, who was responsible for keeping stores open at night People whose habit it was to trade at nijht. People were not malicious, they were merely thoughtless, and it was only necessary to appeal to them to take this cause into their consideration. Shopping may bo necessary on Saturday night, because so many persons are paid tbeir wages at too late an hour to to admit of shopping earlier. He thought that changing pay day to Monday would be a great philanthropise movement.

We all have an interest in this movement, and lie thought if all ministers would for once, instead of gospel, preach common humanity and explain this a better understanding, and general good feeling would be produced and the object of this movement attained. He bad been requested to speak on tbe subject of trading on Sunday, at the drug stores. There are a great many people who woa't find time to bo sick through the week, or if they feel unwell Tuecday or Wednesday, they put off doctering until Sunday, and the apothecaries say that Sunday is so busy a day with them that tlicy have no day of rest.

If this same feeling actuated us in all our dealings in life, how much bettor would it be for us all. There was no city in the country in wliicb ther was so much homely, genial feeling as in Brooklyn, and if the good purpose of this movement was once understoftil, it would meet with general acquiescence.

Resolved, That we heartily approve and will earnestly second and support the efforts of "The Merchants' and Clerks' Early Closing Association of the City Brooklyn," and we bespeak for it the hearty and earnest countenance and co operation of all tbe merchants of this city, anil of an enlightened public. Let us give our merchants and clerks some relief from the tedious and wearying labors of their vocations, an opportunity to become the equals of our best citizens, as they surely will if they have the necessary leisure to enable them to improve themselves by all the social, literary, religious and political privileges of the times. The Rev.

A. A.Willits was then" introduced He said it was difficult for him to speak on this subject, since every argument to be adduced is admited. It is a simple, practical matter, requiring bat little sound sente to determine it. The whole case is like the handle of a jug, all on one side and everybody here, fromtheir hearty response to the resolutions, seem to have the jug by the handle. He didn't see why everybody in Brooklyn was not in favor of this movement.

Some mav od me Aoonuon leaders beluly hold oui mio an tuo prohnMe alternative of the war. "The mun who have dictated with mvsi authority and influence the policy of the Administration, hardly affeet to conceal that they will be content with this consummation. The conduct of the war leads directly to such an end. The division of armies, tho removal of generals, the attempt to introduce politics into Hie army, the coercion of opinion, the movements to break down the resisting power of the North, all point to this. Such a conclusion to the abolition policy, the Democracy of New York, in their first State convention held after the outbreak of the war, anticipated and denounced.

They protest against it now; and they invoke all the energies of the free people of the North, against a political faction which having artfully initiated a fratricidal war, proposes now to end it by a parricidal peace. TUE OBJECT OP THE WAR. The only legitimate object of the war is to obtain a ust and well iounded peace. Such a peace can only be made secure by restoring the Union upon the basis of the constitution with the rights of every State strengthened and guaranteed: and for this that "instrument provides the proper and practical means, a convention, to revise, amend and reaffirm the terms of tbe Federal compact. Every Democratic victory in ihe North, which Union avenue and iOth street, asking to have that portion ofAicslie Btreet graded and paved.

To Grading government your latners established obey it as a fairly constituted judiciary, interpret its obligations, and there isuo cause for enmitj between ns. On one point the address is eplicit. The Democracy will not be content with a peace purchased by disunion. They give a timely warning to those in power that there is no escape, by dividing the country, from the cinbar rasment their election brought upon it. The people have given the administration the strength to put down the rebellion, if they are desirous of supprccsing it, for failure to do so, they will hold them to a stern accountability By dividing the country the Republican party might hope to obtain ascendency in what will remain after the separation.

With this arrangement the conservative party give notice that they will not he content. If peace is made on any such terms they will notbe satisfied. Under the IMPORTANT FROM THE SOUTH. THE ATTACK ON CHARLESTON TO BE RENEWED. THE VENETIAN DTE is the safest composition of ita class.

The world moves: No one can pass through the regiments composing the theory of this Government, accepted by the States Rights Democracy, there is no irreconcilable, no irrepressible conflict between the two sections. Slavery may be abolished in the Border States, and they may perhaps be induced to remain within the old Union, but this will be accepted as no compensation for the the Reverence of the Republic.

The Democratic party prefer a union with or without slavery, or under any constitution that maintains the sovereignty of the respective States, in their local concerns, to a consolidated government, from which shall be eleminated slavery and that spirit of loyal devotion to the government in the people, which is the sole defence of nations. The Democratic party, theD, are for the war they believe it can be waged without sweeping away the inalineable rights of the citizen. If the future should show that throagh peace the Union as it was, can be restored, they will as emphatically demand that policy as they do now a vigorous prosecution of the war. i "in aiiu i jui iri mj uui 'a iliioul umeox er ing an tamest desire on the part of both ofllcers and men to engage aims oi wincn we Heartily condemn is broken, and to strugglepersistently against a dismemberment of tbe Union.
