New York, in 1822, had a population oil about 140,000 then every building below Fulton street, from river to river, was abandoned, and it was that abandonment of the infected district that lessened the mortality.

John C.

Freir.ont was a young inan of energy and ability, but it was not tho ability needed at this crisis. They wanted a Statesman just now. They might as well come to him (tho speaker) if they wanted to build a ship as put a man fi'hout experienco, liko Fremont, In the Presidential chair. (T)fe (lotn the crowd "We've no notion of rutting him As to Fiiimof no had not word to say agajrist hi'ffl. So had a great respect for fits' ntttne'; it ie were really in thtf field if thero was any chance or Bis' eleettoflf, might soealc about him, but as ho did not bollev'e hi imwtnjt' water on ft drowned mouse ho would pass him ofc far Buchanan was a tried Statesman, and all ho would ask would be their support for him at tho coming election.

Judge Josspb E. Palmsb said that an hour before he had beoh In the house of a friend at tea and was obliged to ox cuso himself in order to address this meeting. In the company was an old lady Who was somowhat or a prototype or Mrs. Partington, atid Bhe insisted oh Knowing whore ho was going. When ho bad fold her she said, "1 Knew you were a democrat, arid so sin" but I have ono objection to your party, and that is your getting bucked." Ho.

told hOTH Was not tho democrats who wore to get bucked, but their opponents. She thought it was quite lis to have them the worse of liquor, asaiho supposed being Ducltc'd meiint. but when ho explained said It was all right, go abend. Ho was rejoiced to see the democracy united. Itas onco more a uniti All former differences tfore ended and they wero now marching hi oho solid phalanx to tho musio of the union.

Thoro aro groat end glorious principles involved the present coatest. We aro costending for our own principles, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and freedom to worship the God of our fathor3 In any iaau ner we may choose and having this froedom, eivii. political and religibusiwo dught to reverence thatjparty which has so long hold the reins of government and preserved it for iiq ttin Tlftmnrpfllln nartV. There was a great deal said about Kriilsas nod slavery. ITa AtA V.nl!at.a tVlAi A 1 JC TMin Wllhih tllO tfftfld Of lllfl voice in favor of slavery.

Tho true question was olia of States Rights and it could easily do aociuea Dyiuo exorcise of a little common sense. A man was entitled to govern as ho choso in his family. A city was entitled to make her own local laws so long as they did not conflict with tho laws of the Stato. and tho Stato might legislate as she liked, provided her laW3 did not conflict with tho Constitution of tho United Statos. Tills, In short, Is ail that is invblvod in tho Kansas Nebraska bill.

Ho did not wish to speak uncharitably, but one word to his opponents. Ho thought the Kansas question had evoked feelings which should not havo entered into the contest. Thereiwere men who descended from the pulpii, and In stead bf preaching the doctrine of good will to all mankind the doctrino or our saviour wnom nicy proieau carve wiey proached tho doctrine or retaliation and Sharpo's Rifles" which is now almost daily heard from the pulpit. It was unnecessary to speak of the oharacter, principles or views or Buchanan thoy all knew them. He, was a tried Statesman, and as the pen Is mightier than the' sword he would save tho Union, not by bloodshed, buTby his statesmanship and talent.

As Kings County men ho would call upon them to come up and vote for John Vanderbilt, Long Island's favorite son; to buckle on thoir armor and contend for those principles which havo sustained and nurtured them, and of which thoy need never be He concluded saying "Good night, do your duty and victory is sure." Mr. Surra then sang another campaign song. Wk. J. Rosi, of the Daily News, said ho 'had not como there that evening to address them, having almost lost his veice addressing tho meeting at the Bee Hivo on Monday, and a meeting in tho 19th ward of Now York on Tuesday.

He morely came forward lor tho purpose of rc pellingtho slanders of ihe Evening Post, which had charged him with having been guilty of using expressions which wore unworthy of a man against some of the loaders of tlio opposite parties. Ho had merely alluded to the Black Republican leaders, and in alluding to Burllngamo ho had meroly quoted from ono of his own supporters. Any oue who was acquainted with him would never bellevo him guilty of wantonly using nbusivo language towards any Col. Locaran of Georgia addressed tho meeting in a speech ull of wit and sound logic. Ho was loudly cheered throughout and we understand will address tho 10th ward meoting this evening.

Mr. Conard Swackhamer was then Introduced. Ho said that it would be impossible for him to make much of a speech, as ho was almost worn out now oy coustant puo lic speaking. Ho felt gratified with tho reception which ho had been received. As the hour was getting Into, and it being their intention to form a procession ho would not do tain them much longer.

He then congratulated them upon tho favorable signs of tho Democratic party. His remarks was enthusiastically cheered. The 15th Ward Club then formed In procession and escorted tho 14th ward to their head quarters. The mooting was then adjourned with threo cheers for tho ticket. SECOND EDITION.

Tho steamer Herman, from Bremen and Southampton latter port Aug. 15 arrived below last evening, and came up this morning. She brings nearly threo hundred passengers, among them Chevalier Stoamor Tennessee, from St. Thomas and Porto Rico, also arrivod this morning. She reports both places healthy, but business very dull.

Congress. Washixgtox, August 28. HOUSE Mr. Campbell, (Ohio) from the Committee of Conference on the disagreeing amendments to tho army bill, said they had met and after a full and free conference had come to no conclusion. The trouble, it was well known, grew out of the condition of things In Kansas.

The Houso adhered to its own amendment proposing to restrict the operations of the army, providing that no portion of the monoy to bo expended in Kansas shhll bo to. enforce tho laws of tho body calling itself the Territorial Legislature. The Senate thus far have declined yielding any thing on that point connected with the army bill, Mr. Campbell was satisfied that the twa Houses would not be able to agree on any proposition relativo to the army bill, which will tend reliev tbcpeople of the Territory from the difficulties thai now surround them. As it would not bo proper to enter into the details connected with tho last conference, ho had rifen to say for himself that he entered on tho conference with the hopo that something might be dune to bring both bodies into agreement, so as to pass the bill and return home.

He submitted to tho conference the naked proposition that no portion of tho money bo used for enforcing tho enactments of tho body claiming to bo tho Territorial Legislature, leaving out tho subsequent part of the proviso calling on tho President to oxerciso jurisdiction over tho highways. II was willing to yield that much to the scruples of Senator as to the constitutional power in the premises, but the Committeo of tho Senato refused to yield even that. Mr. Campbell said it of course became necessary that they should proceed further to considor the merits of tho Senate's proposition which involved independent legislation. Tho conference fell because tho Senate's Committeo declined to yield tho simple proposition that the army shall not bo employed to enforce laws faunded in fraud.

The difficulty presented by tho Senate was that tho incorporation of such a pro viso in tho army bill would be independent legislation. It struck him as somewhat strango. that such an objection as that should como from the Senato. It was not necessary to carry into effect existing He was willing to go with him who would go farthest, but he should bo falso to himself, falso to his constituents, and false to his God if he endorsed the enactments of tho Kansns Legislature. Tho members aro anxious to return to their homes, but nevertheless as long as there is a hope of bringing tho two houses together, ho would remain.

He moved that the Houso further adhoro to its disagreement. Mr, Stephens in replying to Mr. Campbell, said tho Houso wii3 not competent to pass on tho validity of those laws. That was a matter that belonged to tho Courts. Congress had no more jurisdiction to pass on the laws of Kansas than on those, of Nebraska or any other Territory or Stato.

The proviso to tho Army bill looked to Congress for passing on the validity of the Kansas laws. Ho repeated that Congre hail no right to act in the premises. Tho remedy Is to curry tho subject up to the Supremo Court or tho U. where the validity of all laws aro determined. Tho Semite, unlike tho House, never made a poi lit on the House, where it was insisted nu, striking out amendments oulsido of tho legitimate objects of nu appropriation bill, and never attempted to stop the wheels of government.

If legislation for Kansas was desirod why not introduce a separate and independent bill. He now moved that tho Houso recede from tho amendment. Motion negatived by 97 against 100. Mr. Campbell's motion to adhcro was adopted by 101 against 97.

A motion to reconsider tho vote was tabled by four majority. Campbell (Ohio) moved that tho House take up tbo Senate biil for the relief of tho heirs of General St. Clair, an officer of the revolution. Mr. Letcher Tlio army bill is moro important than all others and 1 object.

Mr. Nicbolls from the CommttUio on Printing to whom was was referred the Resolution inquiring in the delay in folding anil enveloping documents, reported that the wrapping paper had run out for one day, but that that evil is now remi died. A recess from twelve to one was then taken. The resolution was passed appropriating $10,000 for the purchaso of the ship Resolute, from her salvors, aud for repairs, which is to bo presented to tho British Government in token of tho deep Interest felt by the United Slates in tlio service in which tho ship was engaged at the tlmo she was abandoned.

Dr. Murphy also appeared and being sworn, a that her had a case of small pox at 72 Tillary street, on tho Ktff In stant, and the man died on tho 20th, and that ho had reported the saraw1 to tho Health Officer. Ho had no case of maiignant disease since.

UGBTBRTKa GOODS. Capt. Muirigau of the Truxillo, applied for permission to Dring tils vessel alongside the wharf and land logwood. He Btatod that he had no permission from the Health Offlcor except to land it by lighters, which were supplied by tho Doctor at Quarantine and would cost $250. Ho believed that tho Doctor received a commission on all tho goods that wore lightered, as the lighters wero all Buppllod by him.

1 Aid. Shaw said that If the Health Offlcor was guilty of such an act he was worse than a highway robber. Health Officer West said he understood all tho lighters In Brooklyn and Now York were taken up by tho Hcnlth Officer and tho Quarantine lightermen. Aid.

August J7th, 1S38. Tho Board met this afternoon, pursuant to adjournment. Supervisor Bralnard la the chair, and a quorum or members present. The minutos of the prevknui meeting wore read and approved. KHPOSW'OT ooMMrmw.

Of Committeo on Equalization of Assessment Rolls, In favor of approving of the Assessment Rolls and valuations of tho various townships as presented by tho Assessors. As it was signed by only two of tho Committeo the report was laid over in the meantime From Committee on Accounts That tho amount claimed by tho Sheriff for tbo board of prisoners to 30th of June is $7,089 45. Thoy havo allowed $7,003 57, and $6,000 having been paid on account they recommend payment of the balance of $1,003 67. Supervisor Smith would ask at what por diem rate this amount was calculated. Supervisor Bergen Thirty cents per day.

Supervisor Smith said it was tho duty of tho Supervisors to find tho amount to bo paid for tho board of the prisoners when the accounts aro presented for payment. They had done it in the caso oi Sherifl Lott. He would move that the matter be referred back to the Committee to audit at 25 cents. Sup. Bergen said tho committeo had audited the account at 30c.

because that amount had been fixed by tho Board. For himself ho thought 25 cents would bo a liberal allowance. Sup. Wyckoff thought this was not the proper lime to ro duco the allowance after the account had been audited Tho Board had been trying ever since the first of January last to settle this matter, and he believed two special committees had been appointed who had not been able to bring tho matter to a satisfactory conclusion. Sup.

Mulligan said this but a slim meeting, and ho thought it would bo injustice to thoso members who woro absent to take a vote upon the Bubject at this time. They had had tho question before them four timos already, and ho therefore hoped the Supervisor from the 10th (Smith) would withdraw his motion. Sup. Pottit would move as an amendment that 30 cents per day bo allowed up to the 1st of September, and 25 eta. per day afterwards.

The Chair thought that as there was a standing resolution of the Board fixing 30 cents as tho allowance, that amount must, bo paid until it is rescinded. Sup. Wall would vote for Mr. Pottit's motion. Ho did not think it out to bo reduced upon past accounts.

Mossrs. Smith and Pettit then withdrew their motions, an the report was adopted thi ooirarrrKB oi general taxbs Report upon the petition of tho Mocbanics Bank of Williams, burgh, for exemption from tax on personal property, that it has been satisfactorily shown to them that that company has not made any profits over and above their losses and expenses during the year ending 6th August last, and recommending that tho prayer of tho petition bo grantcdc Adopted. Same committee on a similar petition from tho Farmers and Citizens Bank of Long Island, for commutation of taxes 'for last year, and recommending tho denial of tho prayer on the ground that tho statement of their affairs presented to the Board is erroneous, tho committee computing the net wins as amounting to over por cent on tho capital of the hank. Afier a short discussion this report was adopted. Tho same committee rocoramond tho granting of tho prayer of the petition of tho Williamsburgh Gas Light Company for a commutation of thoir taxes, ou the ground that their nett annual profits last year amounted to only $462 94.

Sup. Bergen thought It was not shewn to tho satisfaction of tho Board that tho statements in the petition wero true, and ho would move that the Company be not exempted. If they spent thoir earnings in improving their stock and laying now pipes, he thought it was no business of the Board, and tho law never contemplated their exemption on that account. Sup. Wa.I, though he was a shareholder In the Company thought Sup.

Bergen's views correct and would support them. The umeddmcnt of Sup. Bergen was then put and carried by 11 ayes to 6 noes. The same committee submitted a statement of the sums required to be raised for tho year 1867 in Kings County for County and Stato purposes. Sup.

Smith opposed giving tho Superintendents all thoy asked aud he moved to reduce tho appropriation for them from $212,000 to $162,995. Ho dwelt at considerable longth on tho various items of expenditures required for tho Super Intend! nts and thought the smaller sum would suffice to carry them through the year. Sup. Lindsay said Mr. Smith's speech reminded him of the story of tho lawyer who addressed a Judge thus, Your Honor, 1 conceive," "Your Honor, I conceive," "Your Houor, I conceive," and then sat down.

Whereupon his oponent rose and said, "Your Honor, my learned brother has conceived tliroo times and brought forth nothing." He thought Mr. Smith throughout his lengthy speech hail brought forth nothing. Tho amount askod tor was in his (Lindsay's) opinion too small. It would hot carry them turough tho year. He was in favor of giving them what tliey asked for.

Sup. Bergen was of tho samo opinion. Tho general expenses of tho county aro reduced upwards of cloven thousand dollars. Mayor Hall, for one, was not prepared to voto upon this ruattor to night. Ho would movo that tlio report bo laid on tho table, 100 copies of it printed, and made the special order for the next meeting at a meeting to bo held this day week.

Suj. Lindsay moved that tho items of tho appropriation oftueSuperiutendant1! of the Poor bo taken up one by one and disposed of this evening. Mayor Hall's motion was then adopted. Tho Committee on Gonoral taxes reportod in "favor of an ticipating the tax of next year to, the amount of ono hundred and seven thousand dollars After a discussion tho report was recommitted. The Mayor presented a bill of $1500 for removing vessels from Gravesond Bay.

Referred. The Board then adjourned. Sedgwick's Private Soirees Mtjsicales. This celebrated and popular musical caterer gives hla first concert this evening, at the Brooklyn Music Rooms, No. 23 Court street, opposlto the City Hall.

A beautiful banner Was also displayed emblazoned with an American shield, upotj fthich were the porlralb bf Washington, Buchanan and Brecklnrldgo, and inscribed as follows 1 5TH WARD DEMOCRATIC REPUBLICAN KEY STONE CLUB. Not that wo love the North lesa, but that wo love tho Union and Constitution mbfeV. From tho top of tho house of Alderman Eajos, opposite which was erected tho platform, shone a Drummohd light, which Illuminated tho scene Tar barrels wore lighted at different places, and Capt. Taft's company fired first thirteen and afterwards thirty one guns la honor of the occasion. The meeting Was Called to order by Alderman Eajos, Who nominated Jacob L.

Fbn.y, as Chairman. The nomination was unanimously adopted, and after he had taken the Chair tho following Vice Prosidonts and Secretaries were cliojon by acclamation Vid Probidisw. Robert Montgomery, Jacob Wolf. Joseph Dockondorf. John Ormsby, John Vreeland, P.

Keoley, Jas. CoUnan, John F. McCuUy, John Krebs, Wm. Howell, Nicholas Henry, Oliver Yandewater. SSOBKCABm.

Stephen Ryder, H. O. Burhham, Thomas Cummin gi, Edward White. After tho election of these officers, the 14th ward club arrived with bannors and musio, and wore saluted with threo hearty cheers. i The Chairman then rose and said It would be perhaps expected when he took tho chair that he should make a few remarks.

He thanked them for tho honor which thoy had conferred upon him. It had been said by some one when the Cincinnati nominations were made, that there was no enthusiasm amongst tho democratic party, but it was only necessary, to look at tho gathering this evening to contradict this. The 15th ward was hero represented, not by hundreds, but by thousands and what was tho opposition Not that party which had been tho opponents of the democratic party long ago whose war cry was tho constitution, but a party of fanatical followers of every ism In the land an organization with no feeling in common with the great mass of the people. At the convention In Philadelphia it was well known that thoy had not dared to nominate any of tho well tried champions of tneir cause, Seward, Sumner, or They had nominated a young man and hoped to ride Into" power and become successful through tho enthusiasm of the peoplo and not through tho strength or truth of their principles. John C.

Fremont deserved honor and credit as an explorer and Engineer, but ho was utterly unfit for tho Presidency an with the exception of a few days which he had been in the Senato he had no political experienco. It had been claimed that ho had first crossed the.Rocky Mountains, and conquored California but this was In all probability stoaling.the thunder Commodoro Stockton. Ho had planted tho Stars and Stripes on tho highest peak of tho Rocky Mountains. He (the speaker)'honored tho man and wished to God ho had not accepted tho nomination of a party Which has no fooling for the Union as tho Union now stands. Fromont had with the funds of tho Government gono into tho honorable occupation of cattle dealer and land speculator, and ho now stands boforo the world as probably tho largest cattle dealer and grcatost land speculator in existence.

It had been said he lived on mule steaks, grassho; per pies and pismire puddings but this was not what was required in a President of tho United States. Mr. Fenn con cluded by culling upon them tosupport the Democratic ticket and transmit intact to their children tho institutions they recoived from their fathers. The fbllowing preamble and resolutions wero Aid. Eames and unanimously adopted': Whereat, The Democracy of tho nation, represented In convention at Cincinnati, hutying closed their labors in strict conformity with tho purposes and usages of the party, have prescntod to the peoplo at large for thoir suffrages the names of James Buchanan, of Pennsylvania, for President also that of John C.

Breckinridge, of Kentucky, for Vice President, of tho United Statos, therefore, Resolved, That we hail with heartfelt emotions and joyous pride the nominations presented to us, aud in view or tho same, wo, as Democratic electors of tho 15th ward of tho city of Brooklyn do hereby agree to resolve ourselves Into an association, to bo known and designated as tho "Democratic Republican Key Stone Club of the 15th ward of the city of Brooklyn." Resolved, That in the person of the Hon. James Buchanan, the "Iron Son ot '56," wo recognize a standard bearer of the Jeffersonlan school, whose long experienco, well known ability and constant devotion to the constitution, eminently fit him, in view of the many vexatious questions of tho pro sent day, for that high and exalted position which he is destined to occupy, and for tho fuldlmentjof which we hereby promise to exert ourselves to the utmost and leave no honorable means untried for the accomplishment of the tamo. Resolved, That we endorse with peculiar gratification and delight, tho nomination of John C. Breckinridge, "Kentucky's Chosen Ono," who is in.tho highest degree acceptable to tho Democratic party, possessing, as he docs, the combined qualifications necessary for tho performance of the duties which it is intended shall bo devolvod upon him. Resolved, That wo cordially approve of tho genuine Democratic platform as laid down by tho Cincinnati Convention, fully endorsing the sentiments embodied therein, and congratulate tho Democracy of tho nation upon the union of our party uniting as it docs, into an immense phalani a mighty brotherhood hitherto partially divided.

Resolvtt, Taat in the nomination of Amass J. Parkor of Albany.Hovernor, we can sately stand before tho community and challenge in point of ability as a statesman and jurist, a comparison with any nomination ever mado for tho suffrages of the people of the United States. Resolved, That we do most heartily approve of tho nomination of Johu Yandorbilt or Kings County for Lieutenant Governor, and hereby pledge the County of Kings as good for 5000 majority for November next, for tho entire Democratic ticket. Resolved, That wo earnestly respond to tho nominations of John L. Russoll of St.

Lawrence, as Canal Commissioner; Matthew T. Brennan of New York, as Stato Prison Inspector; and H. G. Warren for Clork of the Court of Appeals. Resolved, That wo can and will elect the entire Democratio nominations.

Tho lollowing letter was then read from Judge Vamdxb biw. FlAIBCsn, Aug. 27, 1856. Messrs. Thoma3 Eames, Jacob L.

Fenn, Patrick Reiloy, Edward White and Stephen Roiloy, Committee, etc. Gintlkhek I acknowledge the receipt of your kind in vitation to attend and address tho Grand Mass meeting of toe jiastern District oi uio city ot wooKiyn tnis evening It wa3 my groat desire to havo been present, and have postponed replying to yours hoping that I might accept, but oXisting engagements will prevent. I congratulate the Democracy on tho cheering prospect before them, and am assured that in this great contest for our glorious Union, has so much at stake whero principles so important and vital aro to be vindicated that tbo Democracy of tho Eastern Dis trict will be found manfully contending in the front ranks. Very truly yours, Joh.v Vahdxrbilt. Mr.

Jobk Smith then sang a campaign song to tho tune of "Wait for tho Wagon," which was received with loud applause, and tho chorus heartily joined in by! the entire crowd. We give one verse There's Frcinont with his woolly horso, With Greeley on his back, And Seward with the monster Bank, With all the Federal pack And King from old St. Iawrenco, With Giddings by his side We'll give those negro worshippers A good November ride. Then wait for the wagon, The Old Democratio wagon Wait for the wagon, And you'll all take a ride. Hon.

Hesbt A. Moomt was then introduced He said hn had received an invitation from the Committee of Arrange. menu to to address tho Democracy oi mo iiuecnui nam on vacant lots. If they called theso lots vacant, ho would like to know what improved property was. They weru counted to night by the not by tens, twenties or hundreds.

And that vast assemblage was brought there not to dismss any ordinary or every day thing, but a ques Honor tho greatest importance a question involving tbo vory existenco of the Union. And what was tbo question so much talked of? Ifthcy might believe the long haired, white coated philosophers, slavery was about to establish itself over every fool of our country. When maturely considered however we see tho trivial naturo of their position. But they cannot afford to abandon it. It Is thoir meat, their drink.

Thoy have lived on it, politically, for years, and woro they to give it up they would be In a stato of political starvation. They were the same party who a fewj'ears ago got up the Anti Rent excitement and who also conceived tho Maine Law. Their last agitation, the last chauce they havo is this excitement relative to Kansas. They call us all sorts of hard names and abuse us without stint, on account of tho repoal of tho Missouri Compromise. But what, in truth, is tho effect of this repeal.

It gives tho people of Kansas tho riirht to sav. as tho poonlo of Massachusetts and New York have said, whether they want to havo slavery or not. And he would liko to know whether tho pioneer who went out to Kansas with his family and his goods, intending to settle there, was less canablo of judging fur themselves than Seward or Greeley, or any ofthat pack, who had never been there. Tho Democratio doctrine wus non intervention. We did not say to tho men or Kansas you shall or "you shall not have slavery," but wo left It entirely to their own judgment and decision.

To hcur Seward or Greeley, one would think that by the passage of tho Kansas Nebraska bill, tho foundations of tho oarth wero shaken and a dreadful revolution going on. And, my friends, said tho speaker, there is a revolution going on, one that will mil Jitmos Buchanan Into tho Presidential chair in Novem ber next, In spite of tho Black Republicans, wero they to THCRSDAT EYENIHG, AUGCS SS. Kansas and tbe Republicans. The Block Republicans are chuckling over the etatcaient made in Congress yesterday by Mr. Wi lier that the laws enacted by the Kansas legislature were tyranical and ought not to be enforced.

But all tho ingenuity of the managers of t.his nigger movement cannot extricate them from the guilt of being the sole cause of all its manifold disorders. By wtom were those laws passed By a legislature two thirds of whose members had received certificates from IIeedeii as duly elected and this man Rekdeb is now the yrand leader of the negro party. From this high priest of Sambo, then, this legislature derived its vitality for hod it been illegally chosen by Missouri invaders, as illoged, he could have withheld his sanction and the members would be without power to act. If this Legislature, then, was duly elected, its laws might be tyrannical, but tho Abolitionists would have no right to interfere to prevent their execution. When the present nigger party of his State succeeded in passing one of the most odious and infamous laws that ever disgraced a statute book, a law that provided for the summary imprisonment and conviction of citizens, without trial by Jury or the usual forms of law, how would they liko to have seen a band of men from the South, who believed as all mankind did, that the law was Infamous and atrocious a8 any subsequent Kansas law, come to murder the citiaens of New York if they did not repeal that law immediately Would such interference have 'caused its repeal So far from it, if any such outside interference had been offered the Maine Law would have submitted to, in order to show our independence, just as the people at the South stick to slavery after they become tired of it, sooner than submit to the dictation of fanatical and abusive abolitionists.

But abominable anc? tyranical laws cannot long be enforced on an American constituency, and as the people of this State quietly trampled on the Maine Law and crushed it into the earth the people of Kansas, if let alone, would have dealt with their atrocious code in the same way But it is not the abolition of these laws that the niggerites desire as wo will show in a few words. They do not wish to have any law recognised in Kansas but to 'maintain the reign of anarchy and blood shed until after the election. When the Senate presented the House with a bill to allow tho residents of Kansas the bona fide residents who were to be increased by the re entrance of any Free State men whom the disturbances driven away full power to proceed de novo a new set of officers and enact new laws. I the Black Republicans refuse to accept the compromise They aver that their party comprises jaajority of the people of Kansas, yet when a billiras presented giving full and unqualified power to the majority to remodel the territorial government and the laws and fashion them their own liking, it was rejected. They desire anarchy and a law, if enacted in heaven would not satisfy them.

And snnnose thev sncceed in defeatim? t.Tw nr. my appropriation bill, does their success secure peace or good government to Kansas? Their proviso does not repeal tho obnoxious laws and if it did, does it give the inhabitants any other or better laws No it merely leaves them without any law at all, and at the mercy of each other. If the Free State party is able to murder all the pro slavery men, there will be no power to prevent them and if the Missourians be powerful enough to tomahawk the Yankees, they must lose their Bcalps. The action of the Black Republicans, view, it as you may, is simply an effort to keep up the excitement, paralyse all law and produce continual repetitions of the recent outrages until after the election. Public Health.

It is stated In this morning's Herald that nurses are greatly wanted for the sick in the vicinity of Fort Hamilton. Last year, when the Norfolk Relief Committee in New York were collecting funds for the sufferers, a resolution was passed by the New York Committee to send physicians and nurses to Norfolk and Portsmouth. There were very many applicants, both of physicians and nurses, and a few of each were sent, but most of them died. Tho Howard Association of Norfolk and Portsmouth wrote to the New York Committee notjto send any more physicians or nurses from North that they only svreiled their bills of mortality that they wuuld sicken and require care themselves instead of being able to take care of the sick. They at the same time stated that they were enabled to procure an abundance of nurses from Charleston, South Carolina, at thirty dollars per month.

Of seventy physicians and nurses who came to Norfolk from Charleston S. C. only two died. Of who came from the north twenty si xdied. Of sixteen resident physicians ten died.

Of thirty eight hundred persons who remained in Portsmouth during the fever thirty six hundred sickened, and out of this number eight hundred and ninety whites and ninety five blacks died. The proportion of deaths to the cases among the whites was forty two and a half per cent, and among the blacks five and a fourth per cent. Good nursing, the Charleston physicians said, is everything in yellow fever. There is no safety in an infected atmosphere, but in flight. In 1822 the yellow fever in New York commenced at 26 Rector street, In the family of Mr.

Reeder, on the 10th day of July, when three of his children were taken sick, and it was not until the 25th of October that it reached Vesey street, towards the north, but it travelled east with great rapidity, passing up hill to Broadway and down hill to the East river, but did not cross the East river, only eight hundred yards wide, to Brooklyn. The fever also broke out in a sepe rate and distant district, bounded by Barker street west, Catherine street south, Market street north, and the East river east. In 1819, the yellow fever in New York broke out in the family of Mr. William near Old Slip, on the first day of September. The first death by yellow fever occurred on the 6th o' that month, The fever terminated about the 2d of October.

The whole number of deaths ere but twenty one (21), and in 1822, 287. SHhcTelect month then closing. There had been signs of yellow fever, as early as 23d of July, but pn the 29th of that month it was Baid to have disap peared, but on the first day of September the fever recommenced, ten deaths a day for the first ten days of tho month, and continued till the 18th of October, when it was killed by a frost. In 1805, prior to tho 6th of August, there had been thirty two persons sick with the yellow fever, but after that time the new cases averaged about "sixteen per day for tho residue of the month, end twenty six a day in the month of September, and twenty per day for thefirst twen ty three days in October. I send you some unpublished printed sheets, giving detailed, statements in reference to the yellow fever in New York.

Brooklyn Heights, August 28th. E. Mkriah. P. S.

The sick in the infected district should be removed at once into a healthy atmosphera There is no case to be met with in our records of yellow fever of a nurse taking the yellow fever from a patient In a healthy atmosphere this fact Is sufficient to justify removing the sick from the vicinity of Fort Hamilton to a healthy oSstaphero where they can be well nursed. E. M. The California News. Great Excitement against Palmer, Cook Co.

The Vigilance Committee continued In full operation. Two eieoatlotis had taken place, and additional arrests had been made. Judge Terry was still a prisoner. Mr. Hopkins, whom he stabbed, had recovered.

Several attempts had been made to Are San Francisco and, Sacramento, but happily thoy wero frustrated. Riots between Americans and foreigners had occurred in various localities. The markets, which had been active for the fortnight previous, closed dull at tho time of tho steamer's departure. The crops everywhere promised an abundant yiold, and mining operations wero flourishing. Tho greatest excitement prevailed at San francisco against the great Fremont firm of Palmer, Cook of which Fremont Is the reputed Co.

This grows out of this firm refusing to pay over tho moneys placed In tUelr hands by the State, to Its croditors In New York. All the moans to protect tho State and meot her payments promptly woro placed in tho hands at an early day of Palmer, Cook 4 and they thus far have defrauded the Stato and her creditors hero out of it. No one cent has been paid over. Where, then, Is this two or three hundred thousand dollars? Who has the money? When it is known that this firm of Palmer, Cook 4 Co. were the first instigators of tho movement In favor of their partner, a bU3inessssociato Fremont for the Presidency; that Pal mer, Cook 4 Co.

are the part owners of tho great Mariposa estate, which la worthiest unless galvanized into lif by some one of the party getting a high position in the Govern ment, tho public, can guess where the money has gone. lath month, of June, Palmer, Cook Co. were hero with an Immense amount of the funds of the gtato of California their pockets. This monoy was never paid over to tho creditors of tho State, but John Charles Fromont was nomi nated for tho Presidency. As we expected, the correspondent who relerrod to the decease of Mrs.

We aro Informed that the house was crowded by anxious mourners and that no apprehension of contagion was entertained by anybody The funeral was a remarkably largo one as the family were highly respected. Tho case goe3 to confirm the opinion generally ontertalnod that no casc3 of yellow fever havo appeared in this city except at Gowanus, or when tho infection was contracted in some diseased locality. The European malls by the Niagara reached New Tort ata late hour last night. Tho Cunard steamship Persia that lcftNew York August eth, arrivod at the bar of tho Mersey Liverpool, on tho evening of August 16th, having occupied in tho passage eight days, twenty throe hours and thirty minutos, which tho Liverpool Mercury callB the shortest passage on record.

Pekiktatios to ma Tenth ward Bcchanas Clot. Wo understand that a magnificent transparency is to be presented to the Tenth Ward Buchanan Club this evening, at tho mass meeting to bo holden at the corner of Atlantic and Court streets.

Tho transparency Is about ten feet in height by six feat in width, and represents a full longth portrait of Jon VAKDSEBtLT, the Democratic candidate for Lieutenant Governor. It was painted by Mr. J. G. Brown of Atlantio street, and Is beautifully and artistically executed, and will add to tho already enviable fame of the artist.

Surmount ngthe portrait is the inscription, "Tho friend of Internallm prevementa," and en the ends are emblazoned in conspicuous letters the words "Kings County good for 5000 majority." On the reverse appears in pepminent characters, "For Lieut. Governor, John Vandorbllt, Kings County's favorite son." The whole is elegantly and tastefully gotten up, and roflect credit npon the designer, Mr. John Farran, under whoso auspices tho work was accomplished, and who will make the presentation this evening. The Republican Party and Kansas. "Oh I suffering Kansas Oh I bleeding Kansas, Recall thy fleeting breath." H.

Gbebut. The cardinal princlplo of tho Republican party is to pre vent and deny the right of the Southern portion of tho community to enter the Territory of Kansas and make it their permanent abode, and allow tin undisputed right of a certain class of Northerners who advocate eternal hostility to tho rights of Congress, free ingress. They Inform us that tho prevailing sentiment Is to make Kansas a Free State, and if requisite the agent of war must bo employed to co erco their antagonists into submission, and under no consideration must Slavery bocome an institution in Kansas. Admit that tho prevailing sentiment at the North is opposed to the extension of Slavery. Wo ask do not all Territories belong to the Government of the United States, and have not all persons the right to settle there, whether they be Northern or Southerners, and is it not for those settlers to decide by tho ballot box whether they shall knock for admission as a Slave or a Free Stato What right has England to interior? in our domestic affairs None I What right has the peoplo of Massachusetts to interfere with the people of Kansas None I If we desired to bring Slavery to New York State what right has Ohio to interfere None Why then this furore In tho Northern States Tho question is easily answered.

It Is the only vital point on wnicn me itapuojican party exists lr tnat snouia do dropped oblivion would encompass them, and we would have forgotten that such a party existed. Wo have had presented to Congress a Constitution called Topeka, drafted by a little clique, probably one eighth of tho settlers, asking to be admitted as a Free Stato and because Congress would not recognise It the Republican press vent their sploen and vituperate men who aro friends to tho Union. They cry Jus tice give us Justice I what, do you call that Justice to adopt a constitution drafted by a clique, and not tho sentiment of tho majority Away with Republican justice. In onler to make Kansas a Free State all manner of schemes aro concocted. Mrs.

Harriett Bcecher Stowe is paid for writing a tissue of fiction to work upon tho norves of sentimental women who havo husbands, and thereby secure votes glaring falsehoods are circulated in relation to outrages committed on Free State men. and wo are told that the Cincinnati platform goes in for the extension of Slavery not only in Kansas and Nebraska, but Minnosota 1 Boot Jack, i' The Democratic majority for Governor of Arkansas lh thirty countlos is 7,217, which it Is supposed tho remaining twenty counties will Increase to 10,000.
