National Democratic nromlaaUotts. MEETINGS OF PUBLIC BODIES, Political Questions of the Day. MEETING OF THE REPUBLICANS, UNION" HEN, BILL AND EVERETT KEN AND THE JOINT BOARD OF FINANCE. nv, paper has the largest circnlation ar Evening Paper published in the United States. Its value as an advertising Mediant is thereltore apparent.

tdlo like a rat. The chief difBoulty that. Jboiet the founders of this government was li dctormlning'how the ruler cfthls great nation should bo chosen. They knew that love of power, and personal ambition would come into the contest and they wisely settled that he should be chosen by electors chosen by tho people. Thoso men oro disqualified if they hold any office of trust or emolument under the government.

In the present crisis he held that these electors hod a duty to porform to the country and that they should at this juncture net as the Legislatures of the States do in chosing Senators, anp throw all considerations aside, and give the nation a con siderativeman. New York would be the Waterloo of the campaign; hero either Bonaparte or Wellington should fall, or from here either or them would go In triumph to Washington. Four years he acted with the republicans and desired the election of the Pathfinder." Then he understood the issue; Kansas was in danger, and was presented before the nation, bleeding, as it was said. The Missouri Compromise had been repealed. Slavery, it was feared, would go in'o the territories held sacred to freedom by the Missouri compromise.

This question was now settled; ho man now feared that Kansas would come into the Union as anything else than a lree State. No man feared that Nebraska would be other than a free 8tte. Whether this was duo to the Republican party; whether it was duo to tho law of climate or the law of Gob, as Mr. Webster said, he could not now determine, but the fact was so the question is settled. The Missouri Compromise Is again established by the people, and no man believes that slavery will ever come north of tho line established by that compromise 86' 40.

If those who opened that question were agitators as the Republicans called them, were not the Republicans now agitators in keeping up the question after ithas been settled by the people The speaker held that wo have seen the last slave State added to this Union. Mr. Seword has said in one of his speeches that slavery could not be extended over another State unless the African slave trade was opened but there was no party in this country that desired the opening of this traffic how then could slavery be extended For what purpose was the Republican organization kept up if not for the purpose of attacking slavery in those States in which tlie Constitution found it and where we have no control over it In the Philadelphia platform of 1S56 slavery and polygamy were classed together as twin ro lies of barbarism, and this was insulting and menacing to the South. It is said Kansas is not yet admitted into the Union. Sho received every Republican and every Southern American vote last session In the House of Representatives tho hill for her admission was killed in the Senate; but in tlie present stato of parties this was not to be wondered at.

It was feared that Kansas would cast her electoral vote for the Republican candidate but several Republican Senators voted against tho admission or Minnesota aud Oregon, because they did not theu desire tho admission of her Democratic Senators into the Senate, Kansas will come as our Republican friends have it covered with tho garments of freedom and beeniing on her brow the garland of liberty. Wo hear a great deal of tho aggressions of the South for the past twenty years; let us see what tho aggression is. Texas, the last slave Sta'e admitted entered the Union sixteen years ogo; it is tho last slave State we ever shall see admitted. But how was the vote on the admission of Texas? Did not New York, Pennsylvania, Indiana, and Maine vote for it and for the election of Polk? Did not the South give S3 electoral votes against it. Our Republican friends forget this; theynever talk of parties now; they talk of "sections." Tho North has now 18 free Slates; the South has 15 slave States; they saw us advance beyond them chivalrously, Bhall we now uso our numerical strength to crush them.

The speaker concluded by endeavoring to show that tlie real object of the Republican party is not to prevent its extension, but annihilated where it now exists. In support of this he adduced the fact that Sumner's Phillipic against tie South, Helpers compendium and other ultra Abolitionist documents were circulated by tlie Republicans as campaign truc's, tending to influenco the minds of their followers against slavery and against our Southern brethren. A vote of thanks was tendered to Mr. Brock for his address. Mr.

Winchester Britton was called upon for an address. Mr. Britton said He had acted with the American parly, now dead but when it was proposed to lay its body to a Republican resting place, he and others thought that was not a fitting receptacle. Mr. Britton quoted a couple of resolutions which he favored at an American meeting in Brooklyn some years ago.

Tho purport of them was that the Democracy had become a Southern soctional party, and the Republicans a Northern sectional party. Mr. li. could not act with either, but thought there should be a new party, which new party he recognised in tho present combination. He glorified Mr.

Douglas for the part ho took on the Lccompton question, nnd felicitated himself that ho stood to day by tlie same principles which he advocated in an American lodge four years ago. The meeting then dispersed. that position, It has been generally stated for some considerable time past that Mr. Spinola is engaged in an endeavor to arrange the programme of the Democracy so that there 'will be two candidates for the sheriffalty, or the chances of the Democrats carrying it destroyed in some other way, and then he expects to secure the nomination of his friend A. B.

Hodges, by the Republi cans, with a good prospect of his election. Should the rumors attributing these designs to Mr. Spinola, be well founded, the prospect of accomplishing the object is not very promising. The Bcpublicans have refused to receive any votes at their primaries unless ho who offers it has voted the Republican ticket at the previous election, which excludes all but real members of the party, so that it would be impoasible to rush through nominations, by the aid of a crowd of "roughs." In the matter of selecting candidates for the Assembly, nominating convcutionsiad better not venture on presenting the name of any man who has not built up himself a reputation which will serve as a basis for public confidence and has a foothold and standing in the community. The experience of last year will be likely to induce voters to deal very unceremoniously with the pretensions of gentlemen anxious to serve the country at Albany.

It may be a very seductive example to enterprising youths and gentlemen with no very tangible resources or elevated prospect in life to see a number of unfledged solons go to Albany and after returning lapse into the position of private gentlemen, unencumbered with the vulgar cares of life and the coarse necessity of making a living, and displaying an elegance of personal equipment that would do credit to the Prince of Wales, or Billy Mulligan. Of course it remains to be seen whether the two divisions of the Democracy can agree to divide the offices between them rather than to give the whole to the opposition. There will be personal animosities to reconcile and conflicting interests to be harmonized which may lead to an explosion. Notwithstanding these breakers ahead, we have great faith in the cohesive power of a prospect of success and are inclined to think that each section of the party will conclude, as there is no real difference of principle separating them on local issues, that they had better unite and realize the fact that "half a loaf is better than no bread." Meeting ol the Breckinridge National State Committee. This body met at noon to day at the Astor House.

All the members were' present except the Secretary, Mr. McMahon. Mr. John A. Green occupied the chair.

After some consultation to ascertain the views of the members of the Committee it was moved and carried that a committee of three be appointed to confer with the representatives of Mr. Douglas to ascertain their ultimatum as to the proportion of electors and State officers they are willing to give the Breckinridge men. By resolution, Messrs. Green, Mott and Miller were appointed as such committee. The meeting then adjourned to three o'clock, to hear the report of the committee, and to finally determine whether the propositions offered are such as the Breckinridge men will sccept.

We understand that no proposition will be considered that will not concede to the Breckinridge party, at least ten of the electors and half of the State ticket. schools are pauper schools, and would as soon send their children to the almshouse at Flatbush as to tne pub lio schools, ho should not say anything on tho subject, Deprived early of the benefit of ah education, he was moro than ordinary solicitous that thoso who caino after him should possess that the want of which he felt. Sup. Colt said if it was was not for one consideration he ke would be enabled to vote for tho amendment of tho gentleman from the 13th. Ho understood that tho Board of Education now provided free books for those who could not afford to pay for them.

If this was correct and he was rightly informed, his vote would depend very much upon it. The public schools aro liberally provided for, and the tax for the purpose Is paid cheerfully, but he would be against increasing it for this purpose, If, as he understood, indigent children were now provided with books at tlie public expense. He would, therefore, as at present advised, vote against the amendment. Sup. Crowell said that such was the practice in the Board of Education.

These children whose parents wero notable to provide them with books were supplied by the Board. If a child came to school without proper books it was tho duty of tho teacher to inquire into the circumstances of its parents indirectly and if they were unable to provide books It was made the duty of the teacher to supply them. Aid. Coshow asked where they got the monoy to pay for tlie free books? Sup. Crowell said it was taken from a fnnd for library purposes given by the State.

Sup. Wilson said his boy came home to him a few days ago and remarked, "Father, I would not like to bo on tho poor list;" he asked tho hoy why, and he told him that such a child was asked by the teachers in tho presence of the children If its father could not provide books for it, and was represented as a pauper ohifd In the preseuco of the Bchool. Aid. Dayton read from the charter to the effect that tho Board of Education shall determine what proportion of State appropriation and county tax designated as library money shall be applied to tho purchase of school libraries, and that the residue ot said money shall be applied to the payment of teachers' wages, or for tht purchase ofec7iool books, and to no othor purpose. The Alderman contended that one of tlie most important lessons to be learned in you was the lesson of economy children that this lesson was not Impressed on were but imperfectly educated, Ho held that providing books at tlie public expense was calculated to make children careless of them parcn would not as now be interested in having the books they needed at Bchool taken care of.

Such books would bo public property, end we know, from tho uaturo of things how it would be ken re of. It is in the nnture of 'n to be extravagant when it costs them nothing. There is another point the Board of Education is composed of 45 gentlemen who aro responsible to the public as well as we are. They know the wants of the schools under their chorge, and they do not ask for this appropriation; then why should we force it upon them? lie contended that the Board was traveling outside of their duty, and of tho law, by pursuing this lino of conduct. Sup.

Sparkman presumed that the allusion of the gentleman from the lath, in reference to pauper schools was meant for bim. He denied making use of the expression. The Supervisor continued at some length, and with some feeling to define his position. He said he believed tho public schools were intended for the poor and not for the rich. He took an honest pride in being able to educate his own children, and his children took an honest pride in it nnd no man, he held, able to pay for the education ofhis children, should allow their education to become a public burthen.

He had been always taught to look to liimself and not to the public. This tax would fall heavily on the gentleman's (Wilson's) German and Irish constituents in the 13th Ward. They owned little buildings, most of them mortgaged they did not send their children to the public echools, but they would bo taxed to provide books for those better able to do so than they are. In conclusion, he repeated that he favored public schools public schools for the poor, but not for the rich. Aid.

Strong advocated the measure, and contended that the appropriation would be ample to provide one sot of books of each kind, and if these books wero lost or mislaid they should be replaced by the parents. He was asking Brooklyn one of tlie largest and wealthiest cities in Iho Union to do what had been done by New York what bad been done by other cities much less able to do it. Public schools were held by the wisest and best by the men we were accustomed to look up to as tho bulwark of our institutions, the foundation on which our institutions rest, and by passing this amendment they were going one step further in making them more free. Sup. Sparkman asked where the free book system had been tried Aid.

Strong pointed to New Tork and to the late city ofWilliamsburgb, where the advantages of tlie system were widely felt, and its defects irdly perceived. Sup. Sparkman did not seem to be much impressed with the happy condition of Williamsburgh in the ancient times to which Aid. Strong alluded. Sup.

Sparkman said Williamsburgh was saved from bankruptcy only by consolidation. If tho old state state of tilings had continued it was calculated thai in twenty years all the property in Williamsburgh would bo insufficient to pay its debt. Aid. Strong further added that there was no argument used against free books but what might bo witli equal effect used against paying teachers or building school houses. Aid.

Dayton by naming the prices of several school books shewed the absurdity of supposing that $18,00027 cents per scholar would bo sufiicient. He held that there was a point at hich the Board of Education should Btop it might be held that children should be provided with clothes to enable them to attend school the Board wisely determined to stop where they have. He hold thiswas not a provision for the current expenses of the year, but a donation to the children attending public schools, which the Board had no right to make. The question at issue was not the public school system, about that they all agreed. The discussion was conducted at very considerable length.

The friends of the amendment contending that $13,000 would be sufficient. Sup Om woll iald ho consulted me ony superintendent on this point he (the City Superintendent) was in Williamsburgh when the system waa in uso there, and he said that not less than $30,000 or $40,000 would bo required tho present year. On ibispoint thoro can bo no mistake. Sup. Smith warned the friends of the Common School system not to draw the cord too tight least it should break.

Brooklyn now had done moro for her common schools than any city In tho Union; ho did not desire to have their expense so increased that the system would bo endangered by it. The question, shall the amendment adding $13,000 prevail, was put and corned by the following vole For. Aids. Cashow, Franks, Strong, Murphy, Mauler, Kiehl, Kalbfleisch; Sups.

Slip. Croweil moved that tho resolution lie on the table. The appropriation for fire department now reached over he voted for that appropriation very reluctantly, but he was urged to do so by the consideration that tho question was tltcn settled. Tlie motion to lay on the table was put and lost. Original motion put and lost.

HOCK IN THE KASTKRN niSTRIOT. Aid. Murphy offered a resolution providing an appropriation of $4,000 to build a pier at the foot of North 2d street. Aid. Dayton insisted that this was not the proper place to present this resolution.

The Eastern District members generally contended that the pier was greatly needed there was not one In the entire district; it will pay for itself they, contended, and be of very great public benefit. Sup. Sparkman thought thoro was a nigger in the fence; the property alongside, he believed, belonged to Mr. Wnterbury, and he believed that as it was proposed to move the ferry Ihero this public dock wonld not bo inconvenient for his purpose. The question was put and carried.

The Expense of the Countr Institutions. We presented a somewhat extensive exhibit of the condition of the public charities maintained by the people of this County, a few days since, which proved the result of the management of these institutions to be such as must meet with the approval of the tax payers. A comparison between the annual reports of the past fonr years shows that the annual cost of maintaining the institutions on the county farm during that period has been For the year ending July 31st, 1S5" $211,059 60 1955 193,079 77 ii 1S59 113,942 OT IjtW 115,123 24 From the latter item, however, the sum of $3,334 70 must be deducted, as it was expended for the erection of a new Small pox House, and therefore should not be included in the runuiug expenses of the year. The table will then stand thus: Tear ending July31, 1357 1SSS 193.079 77 1S59 113.942 07 1560 111,795 43 By deducting the amount which has been received from sales of boxes, and for board, Ac, in each year, from the total cost for the year we arrive at the cost to the County, viz Year ending $199,295 75 1553 66 1S59 102,575 92 li 1SG0 85,253 04 The Lumber of persons for whose support (privately or otherwise) this sum has been raised, was: During tlie jear ending July SI, 1557 21.S02 1S5S 41,633 1359 25,824 1860 25,250 From this it will be seen that the cost of the rutintenanee of those institutions which might naturally be expected to increase with the increase of population, has diminished more than one half and is now less than half what it was four years ago. The saving of $100,000 a year without reducing the standard of comfort of the inmates of the various Asylums for the victims of misfortune and mental and physical disease, is certainly an accomplishment which entitles its authors to the coafidence and the thanks of those whose agents they are.

The different institutions, in point of fict, have seldom if ever, been hotter managed than at present; and amid the busy whirl and excitement of politics, it behooves us well to look to it, that the priccipJe of management which was inaugurated a few years since, and is continued at present, be not suffered to be "overslaughed," and that none but those Tfho will in like manner conscienscious iy and intelligently discharge their duties in a judicious jet economical manner be returned to the positions heretofore so honorably filled. We regret to learn that Mr. Booth, contrary to the most earnest desires of his many friends, positively refuses to be considered as a candidate for renomi nation. The duties of the office of a Superintendent of the Poor are peculiarly arduous and perplexing, and for their efficient discharge require the service of almost a term ere the requisite experience can ordinarily be obtained, and therefore much caution should be exercised by the different parties in the selection of their candidates for this position, as well as by the voters themselves, in selecting from the candidates thus offered for their suffrages, such as from their experience and ability are best calculated to perpct. uate the system which now works so admirably in the management of the Institution on the County Farm.

We may add that Mr. White, whose term of service also expires at the close of the present year has distinguished himself by his unwavering adherence to the principles of economy and careful personal supervision by which the present board has succeeded in presenting such a satis actory account ot their stewardship to the world. Should Mr. White consent to a further term of service it will be the duty of the party managers to place him in the field, when the people will do the rest. This is an office to which the voters should not fail to return a tried and faithful servant when the chance is offered.

Besides as Mr Booth refuses a renomination, we believe it tvould be perilous to the interests of the public to have both retire at the same time. Other men might be chosen equally faithful, but those of a different character might also be successful, so that it is better to take the course which secures safety. The Contest for Local Offices. It will be observed by those of our readers who scan the doings of our local political parties, that the Breckinridge County Committee has issued a call for primary elections to be held this evening, to elect delegates to nominating Conventions for the City and County, and ako to a Congressional Convention for this district and Assembly Conventions for the various districts in the County. The Committee doubtless determined to take time by the forelock in accordance with the philosophy embodied in the proverb thit "the early bird picks the worm." By taking the field first they display faith in the vitality of their principles and the justice of their cause, and also, to use an expressive Gallicism, become masters of the situation.

It seems tous that it depends upon the cooperation of the two divisions of the party whether any Democrat shall be elected in this county at the coming election. The Republicans will bo oat in full force and with more zeal and hope and in larger numbers than they have ever before exhibited. A very slight defection therefore would place the success of any set of candidates in doubt to say the least. The recent contest for the office of District Attorney proves the fact beyond dispute. There are therefore a number of the politicians of both sides who are in favor of cooperation and recommend that the party which is now in the field nominate a number of unobjectionable candidates which the subsequent conventions may adopt, and leave a suitable number of offices vacant until after the other 'winjr has acted.

In this way the men now nominated may he taken up by the others who will complete the ticket which is then to be supported by both parties. Among the candidates for the offices to be filled are many gentlemen upon whom it is supposed both factions could agree. For Congress the candidates are numerous. The most prominent seem to be Moses F. Odell, Mayor Powell, Dr.

Hutcbins and Mr. Callicott. The latter appears to be the most likely to receive the nomination from the convention to meet to morrow aud he also appears to stand well with the other branch of the party. Each of the others, however, have strong friends who will press their claims vigorously. For City Judge, the competition does not seem to be as lively as might be expected.

Jndge Moore was expected to be a strong candidate, but the result of his candidacy for Alderman in" the 7th ward, has damaged his prospects materially. Mr. James Troy seems to bo the leading candidate. Judge MorrU was talked of as in for the office, but he is said to have retired, which increases the chances of Mr. Troy.

The folks attached to the Committee of which Mr. Farron is President, seem to be more anxious to have the nomination of candidates for the offlceB, particularly that of Sheriff, it being expected that if they adopt the candidates of the opposite division of the party for a number of other offices, they will reciprocate by a union on the Sheriff. The candidate to be nominated in case this arrangement holds good is understood to be Mr. McLaughlin, who aspires to Republican Sleeting in South Brooklyn. The regular weekly meeting of the Republicans of South Brooklyn was held last evening in their Wigwam in Court street, opposite Douglass.

There was a good attendance, the Wide Awakes were present, but did not parade. Mr. Win. II. Burleign presided, and in introducing Mr.

James A. Briggs, formerly of Ohio, made a brief ad address. lie said the Republican cause was making a chcoring progress; Vermont had given an increased Republican majority at their recent State election, hut it was nothing to what sho would do in November next. The Democratic party had been tried and found wanting, its doom was sealed; it was written on the wall menmene tekel vpharnm lie alluded to a demonstration in Jersey City the other night, and pronounced New Jersey safe for Lincoln. He believed they were bound to win but they must work, as the victory was conditioned upon the amount of labor they were called upon to perform.

Tlie opposition were getting up a sort of coalition, in this Stale and county it had a littlo of Douglas, a little of Know Notbingism, nnd a littlo of Breckinridge, and their motto was "Erin go vnum pluribus brash." (Laughter.) But the Republicans would beat them united or not, and his opinion was the more thoy fused, the worso they would fail. The masses might be deluded for a time; but they were honest in purpose, and honost in aim; and it was only necessary to convince their understanding to ensure their support of the right. Tho Republican party represented tho doctrine of tlie government framed by Jefferson and sanctioned by Washington. It was preeminently the party of the working men, and thoy appealed to the workingmen. Uncle Sam was rich enough to give us all a farm, but if he filled up his territories with servilehosts he crowds out freemen.

Vast as tho extent of our territories was, he believed that in three generations hence we should want it all for free labor. Free labor and slavery could not dwell together in one territory. Wherever slavery preTails free labor is regarded as dishonorable; labor loses the dignity it holds in free States, and we protest on behalf of the free laborer to his being subjected to tlie indignity slavery puts upon him. This is the idea that gives vitality to the present contest. The Republican party appeals to the laboring men, and their battle cry is, free territory and free men, and tho restoration of tho government to the policy of tho fathers.

Hon. J. A. Briggs was then introduced, and was recived with three hearty cheers. He sa the question had been presented whether tho government, as i ow conducted, was in with the principles laid down by its founders to 'his he gavo a negative answer.

The Republican creed was nccord an wi tt doctrines of WashP'g on, Adams and Sherman, Li i gston and all toe leadin" statesmen their time. He, the spea'ier, was a Iiepub" licon, because he believed that all men were created frco nnd equal he was a Republican because he believed that no man had a right to hold another in bondage a single hour because he believed that Ireedom ws the natural condition of every man woman, and every child on ok's earth. He as a Republican lecause slavery led to ignorance to darkness, and to despotism, and because Republicanism led 'o freedom to light, to knowledge, tlie arts, sciences and literature everything that tends to enobie, elevate and dignify man. He was a republican because he would have these great lerritories consecrated forever to freedom, to be owned by free men. (Applause.) And he was for Abraham Lincoln, (Applause.) because he represented these great Republican principles.

In his own person ho has dignified labor: a child of poverty, re Ted in misfortune, he has shown what labor can accomplish. The Democrats who affect to be above all aristocratic notions, sneer at Abraham Lincoln, because he was a rail splitter. They sneered at old Tinpocannoo in 1S10, because he lived in a log cabin and drank hard cider; but tlie log cabin men of the west carried him into tho White House, and the rail splitters of the great West will elect Abraham Lincoln to the highest office in the world. (Applauso.) No man doubted that he would be elected; be, Mr. Briggs, had no more doubt of Lincoln's election than lie had of his own existence.

Anybody who wished to know anything about Mr. Lincoln should inquire of Mr. Douglas in search of his molhur. (Laughter.) He (Douglas) had mot bim in many a canvass and had never beaten him yet. It had been urged against Lincoln tin' be had never been in nnlitid im an mm thA better; he (the speaker) thought there were many men who would make good Presiden who hud never seen nosmngion, anu no irustea not Albany either.

(Applause.) He thought a perusal of Mr. Lincoln's speeches would satisfy, any sensible man of his capacity. There had been some talk among our sontbern friends of dissolving the Union if a republican President was elected. But he thought a disunionist would bo hard to find on the 4th of March next, or on any day during the next four years. Bell men say that Breckinridge is for disunion, and Breckinridge men say Bell is for disunion.

But they are all for the preservation of tho union. Mr. Breckinridge in bis recent speech, repudiated disunion. How could he he for disunion when he spoke iu tho land of ttnnry Olqv. (Auiilause.l.

Yancey repudi tea disunion; how could he be for disunion when no a uiuugut up Iii Vermont; and was turned out of Williams College for being rather too fast a youth. There was no danger of a dissolution of the Union. The speaker then proceeded to discuss the legal aspect of the slavery question, maintaing Unit it could exist only by local law, and was not recognised by the Constitution of tho United States. The fathers knew what they were about when they said they held these truths to be self evident that all men were created free nnd equal they made no exceptions. Supposing they had "except Negroes, Japanese, Malays, Siamese," that would have been a pretty declaration to wake up the despotisms of the old world wilh.

Slavery can no more exist without a special law than a man can exist without air. This is the declaration of the Republican party; this was the doctrine of the Government for TOyears the doctrine of ail the leading statesmen except John Calhoun, and until Roger P. Taney bought his office by a bargain to give a decision, which the speaker denounced as the most infamous sentiment ever uttered by man. Mr. Briegs then proceeded to view slavervinanoliticn aspect.

He compared the progress of the lics of the increase, the wealth and prosperity of the free States in contrast with the same returns from Virginia, Tennessee, the Caroiinas, Alabama, fec. About half of the native white population of the Southern States he said could neither read or write. New York had moro children in her public schools than the entire fifteen slave States and Ohio expended more money per vear on her public Echools than tho fifteen slave States appropriate lor that purpose. He was opposed to slavery then because it degraded men of his own race and color. You cannot degrade the slave without degrading his master.

Another evidence of the iniquity of slavery the spcakor urged, was that it nevorhad a poet, no poem was ever written in praise of slavery. Slavery had no literature. Freedom of thought and freedom of speech could not exist where slavery was. A man had been sent to the Penitentiary in Virginia for speaking against slavery. A voice "That's false." Mr.

Briggs "Tlie man who says that is false, lies under a mistake." Laughter. Mr. Briggs then proceeded to picture the oppressive condition ol things in the South, where he said there was a despotism worse than that of Austria and Home. In Virginia a woman had been committed to tlie common Jail for teaching a colored child to read the Bible. Thi3 is the land where JefTerson wrote his bill of rights.

But lie thought there was a good time coining when a Republican President wouldoe elected, and there would be a resurrection of freedom in Virginia, tho old dominion, the mother or Presiden s. Applause. The speaker continued at some length on the superiority of free and educated hibor in developing the resources of the country. He made a passinc allusion to Wnsiiinwtr.n Hunt. Hiram Ketchmn and Edward Everett, who iiad ill their public career advocated and supported every principle that the Republican party now maintain, though now those same gentlemen are opposing and denouncing that party and its princinles lnnrnna to the Union.

In conclusion Mr. Briggs alluded to tho Prince of Wales' visit, and said that Ilia Highness would have a favorable opportunity of judging of tlie manner in which our people conduct their government by witnessing a Presidential canvass, ne devoutly hoped that tho young gentleman would be kept out of the hands of tho New Vork Common Council, who would, if tiiev got tho opportunity, run up a bill as would bankrupt the city of New York, as Mr. Buchanan has bankrupted the nation. Mr. Briggs concluded shortly before 10 o'clock, aiid the audience thinned out somewhat.

Mr. W. R. Bcebee, who was advertised to speak, did'not come. The Prarie Rangers sang a few campaign songs during the evening.

The President, Mr. Burleigh, tome invitations to the Wide Awakes and closed with a lew cheerlug remarks. Meeting of the South Brooklyn Union League. The members of the South Brooklyn Union League held a meeting last evening at their rooms corner of Court and Sackett streets. Opposite tho house in which the meeting was held a bonfire was kept lighted, over which a large crowd or boys manifested an enthusiasm that would make a Wide Awake club invaluable.

The room in which the meeting was held was pretty well filled by men known to us as belonging to several political parties. After the transaction of some routine business, James Brock, wa3 introduced to the meeting. He said They heard from the Littlo Giant in tlie Valley ofBhen andoe; they hear from Mr. Breckinridge from the clas. sic shades; or Ashland; Mr.

Seward is addressing his friends in the West on the higher law and the irrepressible conflict; and though Mr, Lincoln aud Mr. Bell are looking in silence on the contest, all these things remind us Hint tho ides of November nro at hand. Thoro was something In the name or "Union League" which brought him here to night: and he felt he could come here as a cltlv.cn and not as a partisan. There is something In this name which brings to mind what the Union Is; and the question we an; to consider is, how shall tho conservative men of New York in the present crisis cast their votes so that they may be felt in the crisis that Is now so close at hand. It Is conceded thai Die friends of Mr.

Breckcnrldgc alone cauuoi carry Now York it is conceded that neither Mr. Dougluss's nor Mr. Hell's friends unaided, can. Ifthe Statu is to be carried against Mr "Lincoln wo must take some action that will unite tho vo of men thit agree on the common principle of devotion to the Uului', nnd wi were opposed tonection al agitation. The speaker devoted his speech mainly to prove that the Republican party was an aggressive party, and that its design was not to make the territories free but In the words of Sumner drive slavery to its hole where it should Meeting of the Constitutional Union Clnb ot the Eastern District A Bell and Everett Banner Unfurled to the Breeze Some two or three hundred persons assembled last nieht on the corner of Tenth and South 4th streets, E.

to witness the raising of a Bell and Everett banner by the members of the Constitutional Union Club. Bonfires were lighted, and the air was made vocal by a hundred voices proclaiming aloud for the Union, and an in. tention to wait for the wagon." But the gen. tlemento whom had been assigned tho task of swinging the banner to the breeze," were a terrible long time performing their task, and it was urtci u'ciouh. ueroro mej accuuipuauca it, tij which time the fires had burnt low, and the enthu siosm had pretty much subsided.

Enough was left, however, to greet it with three hearty cheers. After which, as many as could get admittance, proceeded to the rooms of the clnb, and organized a meeting. Mr. Turner, President of the clnb, called the meeting to order, and made a short address. He said it had not been deemed necessary or advisable, hitherto, to make any particular demonstration.

The raising of the banner which had just been unfurled, was unheralded, even by an advertisement in the papers, and the present meeting was quite a spontaneous movement, for which no preparation whatever, had been made, and he was sure that the assemblage of so large a company, almost uninvited to the exhibition of much interest in the movement, was a just cause for congratulation. After the demonstration to be made in New York on the 17tb, it was the intention of the Union men of the E. D. to go to work in earnest, but he as well a many others thought that, prior to that time, any great demonstration would be premature. They wished first of all to unite all the elements of opposition to Black Republicanism, and then they would go to work with a will.

A song, "The Union Forever," was then sung by a Glee Club, after which Mr. C. C. Eagan, of the 13th Ward, was introduced and delivered an able address, which was frequently applauded. The Bell and Everett Union party, he said, was intended to rebuke Northern sectionalism on the one hand, and the fire eaters of the South on the other.

It was a party born out of the exigencies of the times, and was intended, he believed in (lod's good providence to save our agitated and unhappily distracted country. He alluded in happy terms to the emblematic character of the banner which had been raised by the Club and was loudly applauded. Mr. John C. Jacobs also delivered an address, in which he characterized the Repu.ulic.in pirty as sectional and abolition, and proved his statements by the writing and speeches of Seward, Sumner, Greeley, anil other acknowledged leaders of the party.

The banner raised by the club is by far the largest and handsomest yet raised in theEastorn District. It is inscribed as follows "For President, John Bell of Tennessee for Vice President, Edward Everett of Massachusetts." Iu the centre is a device of two clasped hands, with the words "North South." On one end is the motto, "The Union of the States the Constitution of the country the enforcement of the laws and on the other. "Constitutional Union Club of the Eastern District, headquarters 84 South 4th street meets every evening." Above the whole is inscribed, "One country, one constitution, one destiny." Joint Board of Aldermen and City Super visors. The Joint Board of Aldermen and City Supervisors met yestcsday afternoon. Aid.

Kalbfleisch occupied the chair. Quorum present. Aid. O'Korke, from the 7th ward, for the first time took his seat. Tlie minutes of the last meeting were read and ap proved.

On motion of Sup. Crowcll the Cth resolution was taken up follows: "Resolved, That this Joint Board do determine that tlie sum of 100,700 ia necessary to defray tho expenses of maintaining the public Echools of the city, to ho levied upon the city at lurgn." Sup. Wilson moved as an amendment that $13,000 ho added to this sum, making the entire amount $173,730. Sup. sum hwus noi siaicu ior wnai purpose this sum was required; the Board of did not ask for it, and he wished to know for wbat purpose it was needed.

Sup. Wilson did not desire to give ills reason for making the amount. However it is well known that tho $13,000 is intended for free books for tlie public schools. Sup. Crowcll said if this was tlie purposo lor which it was intended, the sum was entirely inadequate.

From the report of the chy superintendent which he held In his li 'inl, lie ascertained that there entered school during the year 18S9, as many as 49,324 scholars. In the year 1854 Iherc were but 20,000 children. on iho books of our public schools. The increase, thcrofore, Is double. He maintained that to give free books to children attending our public schools, Hie sum of $30,000 or $40,000 at leas', would bo necessary.

In the ratio that iho attendance in the schools was increasing in few years, $100,000 would he required for free books, and he held it was dangerous to open the door for such expenditure. AM. Kalbfleisch desired to usk the Supervisor if tho number of children named were regular attendants upon our public schools. Sup. Crowcll said not, but there were the namos of 419 324 on the books of the public schools, and it would be necessary to provide books for evury child that oiitorod tho schools.

Sup. Wilson mcanl to have given his vote silently on this question. He was himself able to pay for tho education of his children he was uble to pay for books for them; he trusted he would always bo able to do v. But If he should be taken away from them, lie could not bo assured that then they would be equally well provided for. He held that $18,000 was sufficient; if It wos not, the people of Brooklyn were able and were willing to vole 60, 000 for the purpose, lfn'l tho gentlemen of the Board believed, as he knew of some of them, that our publlo A Cheat Fuss Aout Nothing.

The AtUtsaiul Argus and other Douglas organs made a great fuss about the legislative resolutions passed by the Republicans last winter to submit the question to the people of the State whether they will admit negroes to the unrestricted right of suffrage enjoyed by white men. What is there in this action that any squatter has a right to object to? If the people don't like the idea can't they vote it down? If they do feel like having dar mes alongside at tne polls Have they not a right to enjoy the association If not what becomes of squatterlsm, that glorious doctrine for which our forefathers conducted the revolution, and Napoleon fought at Solferina, Garibaldi is struggling in Italy, the Druses in Syria, and Heenan and Savers so valorously contested? And yet Douglasites who claim omnipotence for squatters in a territery and maintain their right to work darkies or make them free men, scold their Republican brethren because they offer to submit a similar question to the people of this sovereign and independent State. Have they not faith In the people We consider the proposition to admit negroes to political equality with whites as repulsive to nature and offensive to common sense and believe the people will put it down. But then no advocate of squatter sovereignty can object to such a project with any degree of consistency. They know no right or wrong but the will of the majority in the case of inhabitants of a territory and we hope they would not be so in" consistent as to deny the right of the people of the States to "regulate their own institutions in their own way." Mysterious Affair.

A week ago, Mr. Jame3 H. MeCord, a gentleman who has long resided in this city, and was well known and much esteemed by a large circle of friends and acquaintances, returned to his home, No. 183 Conrt street, and after partaking of a hearty supper, suddenly fell to the floor as if attacked with a fainting fit. The members of the family immediately carried him into an adjoining room and laid him on a sofa, and procured quickly as possible the services of a physician.

The physician called and pronounced him dangerously ill, and after leaving some medicine, gave positive orders that he should not be disturbed until morning, but during the night Mr. McCord grew better, and despite the mandate of the doctor, he arose from the sofa aud walked to his chamber. The following morning he was taken with a violent emesis and convulsions, and irrew irraiin. ally worse during the day, and when the physician called again and noted his changed condition, he jciv vruiu mm uuc suvc me immediate aiiencl' ant should be admitted into the room: but not withstanding all precaution, Mr. McCord constantly grew worse, and about six o'clock Tuesday evening; surrounded by his family and he died in a spasm.

The funeral ceremonies were arranged to take place the following Tuesday morning, and a few moments before the minister commenced the performance of the last sad rights a messenger appeared in the chamber of death and placed a letter in the hands of a son ol the deceased, which stated that his father had been poisoned, dircctiy accusing his wife and a man named Washburne. The letter was signed, "Your friend, William." Of course, a document bearing such horrible intelligence, and charging his son in the memory of his dead father to investigate the nutter, almost unnerved him; but ho heard the service through and paid the last tribute of respect which a child can pay a parent, and after returning from the grave acquainted the family with the contents of the letter he had received. The mother denied that she had anv airennr in the matter, and chided her for giving credence to a letter which she said had been written to injure her. Friday following, Lawrence Alberger went to the Police Court and caused a warrant to be issued for the arrest of Emily McCord and Jerome Washburne, charging them with poisoning the deceased. The instrument was placed in the hands of Chief of Police Wilson, who instead of harrowing the feelings of the family by draggin" the accused publicly to the statiom house, allowed the wife to remain at homeunder the surveillance of an officer.

The same course was pursued towards Washburne. The following morning they were taken before the Police Court and held to bail in the sum of $0,000 for their appearance from day to day. On Friday afternoon Coroner Carey, in company with the physician who had attended upon Mr. McCord, visited the graveyard aud exhumed the body, took from it the stomach, and placed It In the hands of Prolessor Wayne for oheniical analysis. There are, of course, a hundred rumors concerning the melancholy affair, to which we give no heed.

We have it on positive authority that Washburne's visits to the house of Mr. McCord were made against the lattcr's expressed wishes and have several times given rise to domestic disturbances Professor Wayne has not yet reported the result of the investigations. So soon as he shall have finished his labors the affair will be judicially examined. From the Cincinnati Cfcuette. lor repairing nouse anil apparatus ol noso o.

To the Editor of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle: Dear Sir, Through the medium of your journal I wish to slate the simple facts connected with a very skilful surgical operation which was recently performed in a highly satisfactory manner at the Brooklyn Medical anil Surgical Institute.

The case in question was a most aggravated one of stone (or Litliinsis,) with which a son of mine, between 14 nnd 15 years of age, was afflicted. He entered the institute referred to on the 17th or August, and was discharged perfectly cured last Friday in exactly two weeks time. The manner In which this excellent institution is conducted merits my warmest commendation the unceasing and carerul attention or the able practioncrs Connected therewith is alone one matter making it most desira blo Tor cases requiring constant medical attendance. I take the opportunity ol returning my heartfelt thanks to the officers of Ibis valuable institution, and especially they arc due to Dr. Whalcy who so successfully operated on'nnd brought my son safely over this dangerous com plaint.

I trejpnss on your columns to make known this extraordinary cure, and remain your obedient servant, Janx O'CoNxoa. Vekv jkb a Hanging! After the vote had been taken at Baltimore, to make the nomination of Douglas unanimous, Dave Todd, of Ohio, who occupied the chair, is reported to have declared the result in the following language "With heartfelt satisfaction, as presiding: officer of this Convention, I declare Stephen A. Douglas, by unanimous vote, the candidate of the Democratic arty of the Union, for President of theso United States, and may God, in his infinite mercy, protect bim and the Union he represents." This sounds fearfully like the language addressed to criminals at the close of a sentence of death and the circumstances under which it was used undoubtedly suggested the form of it.
