The tho passengers and at the deck hand. Fortunately no more damage was done with the knife than tearing the coat of ono of ttie poasengors, who, in self defence, knocked Brewery down. Officer Munson who was standing at the ferry gate and saw the disturbance, ran aboard, and aftor a desperate resistance, during which time the officer had to use his club, Brewery waB secured. He was brought before Justice Cornwell yesterday morning, convicted of assault and battery, and aont to tho Penitentiary for six months. This Paper has the largest circulation of any Paper published in the United States.

Its value as an advertising medium is therefore apparent. Nothing at all. It Is the natural result of Anti Slavery teaching. For one I accept it; I expectod It. I cannot say that I prayed for it I cannot say that I hoped for it.

But at the sanio limeno sane man has looked upon this matter for twenty years and supposed that wo could go through this great moral convulsion without the great classes of society clashing and jostling against each other like frigates in a storm, and that there could not be such scenes as these. You cannot expect to put a real Puritan Presbyterian, as John Brown is, a regular Cromwellian dun up from two centuries, and placed down in tho midst of "New England civilization that dare not say its soul is its own, nor proclaim that it is wrong to soli a man at auction, and not have liim show himself as he is? Put a bound in the presence of a deer, and he springs at his throat if he is a true bloodhound. Tut a Christian in the presence of a sin, and he will spring at its throat if he is a true Christian. And so into an acid wo might throw white matter, but unless it is chalk it will not prodnco agilatiou. So if in a world of sinners you wish to put A merican Christianity, it would be calm as oil.

But take mil; Christian like John Brown of Ossawatomie. and he accustomed to call them, are but pasteboard, and intended lobe against the thought of tho street. Statutes arc mere mile stones, telling how far yesterday's thought had traveled; and flic talk of the sidewalk to day is the law of the land. Somewhat briefly stated, such is tho idea of American civilization, uncompromising faith In the average selfishness if you choose of all classes, neutralizing each other and tending toward that fair plain that consumes soeietv. Now it seems to me that on all questions we dread thought we shrink behind something we acknowledge oursclvcsmieinial to the sublime faith of our fathers and the exhibition of tho last twenty years and olthc present state of public affairs is that Americans dread to look their foe in tiieface.

Thev sav in Ireland that every Irishman thinks that he was bom sixtv davs too late (laughter) ami the world owes him sixtv davs. The consequence is, when a trader savs such a thing' is so much for cash, the Irishman thinks it means to him a bill of sixty days. (Laughter.) So it is with Americans. Thev have no idea of absolute rigid. Thev were bom since 1TS7, and absolute right menus the truth diluted by a strong decoction of tho Constitution or 'S9.

Thev are all in that atmosphere; they don't want to sail oul' ide of it; they do not attempt to reason outside of it. Now for the last twenty years there has been going on, more or less heeded and understood in various States, an insurrection of ideas against the limited, cribbed, cabined, isolated American civilization, interfering to restore absolute right not only that, but the recognition anil conviction of absolute truth. If you said to American, for instance, anything in regard to leiuperanec. Slavery, or anything else in the course of the last twenty years anything about a principle, ho ran back instantlv to the safety of a principle to the possi Black Republican rule In tho State had been an increase, in their taxcB, as they all knew by oxporioncc. This pur ty had passed a lnw prohibiting tho people of this county from fishing in New York Bay, which had thrown out of employment hundreds of men at New Utrecht, Ho had introduced a law and passed it through the Scnato to restore tlie privilege, and Mr.

Wilson got it through the Assembly, hut Black llepublican Governor vetoed it. Another bill they introduced to prohibit tho people of this county from fishing, oystering, or even bathing in Jamaica Bay, but he applied the knife to it, and let the blood out of it, and terminated its existence. (Applause.) So it was in every instance, tho Republicans taxed labor wherever they could, and the poor man had to look to the Democracy for protection in their rights and property. It was tho duty of every Democrat to voto the straight ticket, unless they wished to maintain this Brown Republican party In power. He had confidence in the people of tliis old Democratic stronghold of.

New Lotts, and tho result of the coming election would be such an omphalic vote for the regular ticket that men shall point to this place and say, hero the people knew what their rights were, and knowing them dared maintain them. Mr. Spinola retired amid prolonged applause. Mr. Schumaker was then introduced aud was received with three cheers.

His remarks were brief and to Hie point he confined himself to the question of the opposition to tho regular ticket. The Independent Democrats were merely the tools of the Republicans, who painted their banners aud built their platforms, for the purpose of defeating one who had faithfully sorved the people in the Senato for two years. An opposition candidate had been put up against him, tidge Morris, who had been seeking tho regular nomination for twelve months, and failing to got it, now runs us an independent candidate. He (Morris) complained of the primaries, and of the men who constituted the Convention, yet he received nominations on three previous occasions through the same medium of primary elections, and from the very men whom he now branded as thieves and felons. He did not refuse tho nomination on that account then, nor would he on this occasion, had it been offered him.

Morris said it was not too late too leave had company but did not the company leave him first? This independent ticket was merely an ehnlitionof personal feeling, with no principle to sustain it, and with no claims upon the Democracy forjsupport. In conclusion he alluded to tho candidate for assembly in that district, Mr. vers, who was a well tried Democrat, a man who would'faithfully represent them. Mr. Stilwell his llepub liean opponent, was a renegade Democrat, who had deserted the party when its principles were menaced, such a man was unworthy their support, as one in who no roli ance could be placed.

Mr. E. O. Perrin was the next speaker, who proceededed at some length in his usual effective style. He showed up the Independent movement in its true colors, and the result contemplated by it, the election of the Black Republican ticket.

He abjured them if they were Democrats to support tlie regular ticket every vote cast for these sido candidates was one for the Republican nominees. He illustrated his remarks with some pertinent anecdotes of which Mr. P. seems to have an inexhaustible supplv constantly on hand. He illustrated the fato of the Independent nominees by a story about a quarrelsome fellow named Bill Acre, who lived in Tennessee.

Mceliug a neighbor on the road, with whom he had had a quarrell. Acre proposed they should then fight it out. The neighbor assented and with nobody to look on they went ut it. The first round Acre was knocked through a rail fence into a cotton field here some hands were at work. Completely bewildered by the shock, Acre lay there some time time util a shower had passed over.

The rain pattering on his face revived him, and raising himself up he turned to tlie hands and said, "Boys, has tho storm passed over." "Yes, massa," was Ihe reply. "Did the lightning strike anvbodv else besides me." (Laughter). That would be the fate' of Mr. Hatfield on the Sth of November, and when he asks if the lightning struck anybody but him, lot somebody tell him that Judge Morris is dreadfully hurt, and two or three smaller men killed outright. (Laughter and applause).

Dr. Phillip Merkle was then introduced and after a few preliminary remarks in English proceeded to address the audience in German. The meeting then adjourned with three times three for the regular ticket. Mercantile Library Course of Lectures. The lirst lecture of this course was delivered last evening by Gov.

Banks of Massachusetts before a very large audience. Previous to the lee. turc the Old Folks" entertained the assemblage with two of their songs Auld Lang Syne" aud Hail Columbia" which seemed to be much appreciated. The gentleman who introduced the lecturer very sensibly said that as it is understood the lecturers are much better speakers than he is he would merely fulfil his duty and at once introduce them. Gov.

Banks said that it was his iuteutiou iu opening this course to present some thoughts upon the life of one of the early Governors of Massachusetts, but he deferred it so long, and other important aud pressing duties coming upon him, that he was unable to do so. He would take lor his subject, The influence of personal character upon the history of nations more particular ly the personal character of Washington. Personal character moulded history, and every great advancement in it is governed by it. In Greece Mitharadies and Pericles are types of the people: the name of a synonym ot Roman history, and so of Constauliue, Moliamed, Clovis, Alfred, Personal character lies back ol and at the base of all history. The history ot ages and the career of empires is traced principally through the personal characters of its leading minds, lake their lives away and their history would be a blank Without them, nations are capable ol no "rcat achievements but stagger on with pot bellied equanimity.

Those great characters were formed slowlv throuh long generations of races of men and families. They arc, too, iu a great measure created by the circumstances of their time. Iu the physical world not an atom but takes a part in its destiny and shall we not say in the moral world that the actions of every one of us do not go to make the world wiser and better. Washington was created by his country and its needs and he saved the country which created him. Much of personal character was due to family influence aud of the family no more beautiful picture is presented than that at Mount Vernon.

Highcrthan all influence of government and laws is the influence of parents. Washington derived from bis mother most of those traits by which he is remembered in the popular heart his liery teuiper which no one ever so controlled, his high bearing and courteous demeanor, and as the creator is greater than the thing created so iu all time let all honor be given to" Mary the mother of Washington. Gov. Banks very rapidly sketched the early career of Washington, the benefits lie derived from his eonuce tiou with lord Fairfax; his surveyor life, his loudness for out door sport, his intercourse with the Indians, from whom he learned the dignity aud decorum of their diplomacy he respected them for thev had qualities which were the growth of the same soil, and they coutided iu hinTand loved him. The revolution comtneuced ill Massachusetts there the lirst American ilag was raised there the first British ensign was struck, and there fell the flrst martyr iu the cause.

Thev had differences which the Southern section did not feci so heavily. When the deputies of the colonies met together, they were warned to beware of the New England delegates for they were a lot of desperate so it was necessary for the purpose for wliich they assembled to give the control of affairs to the Southern section. Lee, of Virginia, proposed the Declaration of Independence, Jefferson of Virginia wrote aud reported it, and Mr. Johnson, of Maryland, proposed the commander in chief for the army. On Washington receiving this post.naturally dissatisfaction was felt by those officers above whom he was promoted; but he possessed, as John Adams said, the finest fortune iu America, and incalculable service was done the cause by uniting the men of great fortune at the South with the cause.

He took command of the army flushed with the victory of Bunker Hill; would that all sectional differences may be settled by such a union of justice with liberty. Jefferson differed and was above the men of his time in this, that while they all had some abstract theories to carry out he alODe was unfettered by any; he desired more wisely to do the best thing possible under the circumstances. Jefferson was for high Democratic rule; Hamilton was an admirer of the English Constitution, aud desired for the government a limited or, possibly, absolute head; John Adams doubtless contemplated an aristocracy of merit, against a Democracy ot" mere numbers, and fond of arbitrary power himself, doubtless he would have the government a strong one. Washington aloue had no pet theory to carry out, lie teems never to desire liis own way; while Adams seems never to desire any thing else; cot that Washington waited to ascertain "the opinions of others, he seemed to interpret tft popular heart. Iu common with Jefferson and the Virginians of his day he was opposed to Slavery; but while they voted for the ordinance of 17S7, which made free the northwestern territory, they also supported that clause in the Constitution which, gives a sanction to Slavery.

On his death bed he freed his slaves, which showed him to be an emancipationist as clearly as if it was written in blue heavens from Orion to the Pleides. lie would not here discuss the greatness of his character it was but lately that his birth day began to be honored, aud we hear it sometimes hinted by some that though he I was a very good he was not a very great man. f.r.gianu cannot De expected to oe zealous in placing his character high, and France overlooked the well balanced power of his mind to elevate Jefferson as more nearly allied to her democracy and philosophy. Iu his own time, his success blunted no arrow his administration staggered in the Senate, and a part of the House of Representatives did not join in the resolutions of respect to him. His character is so pure and so firm that from the very absence of defects it loses some of its sublimity.

But as Carlyle says of Frederick the Great, when nature makes such a man she means a good deal by it, and does not expect to win instantaneous "applause. While Hamilton aud Piuckney wrote pamphlets on pamphlets in their defence, Washington aloue of all the men of the Revolution never vindicated by defence or apology the wisdom of his course, the integrity of his purpose, or the unsullied honor of his name. The letters to which his name was forged, showing him to be false to the cause, he did not even deny until he had ceased to be President and returned to Mount Vernon. His course was "to do his duty and to be silent, which is the best answers to calumny." Such was the character of Washington rounded iu every part and full of symmetry. It is our duty to complete his work ami to pass lightly on the faults of his associates, and to protect from the hand of time the honor of their names and above all that we preserve the union of these States which was their work, not only for the benefits which it confers but for the evils that will fjllow its destruction; it may be destroyed but it shall not be without a struggle in which the blood of freemen will mame the ground.

But it will not be dissevered. To defy danger, said Napoleon is to drive it into tho ranks ot the enemy. When the Union is extended no one can tell what will follow, but the men are not born of woman that can destroy it in our day. The lecture was in very good taste, and we arc glad indeed to see the opening of this course commencing in every respect so favorably. The next lecture will he given on Thursday next by Mr.

Curtis and we hope to chronicle the fact of as large an audience and a treatment of his subject in a manner that no one can take exception to. Wendell Phillips' Address ou John Brown and Harper's Ferry. An overflowing audience greeted Mr. Phillips last evening at Plymouth Church to bear him discourse on the Lessons of the Hour. The lecturer was introduced by Theodore Tilton who took occasion to say that he held a copy of a Brooklyn paper in his hand which eoutaiued an article in regard to himself and Mr.

Phillips. The editor asked, if lirown and his accomplices arc deranged, what are we to think of Wendell Phillips? He (Mr. Tilton) had not consulted Mr. Phillips, but as for himself, he would say if it could be proved that the Brooklyn Ewjk was sane, he preferred to remain crazy. This statement was received with great enthusiasm Mr.

Phillips then proceeded to give his views on tlie Lessons of the Hour and plunged at once iu medias res, as follows PRELIMINARY. "The Lesson of the Hour I think the lesson of the hour is insurrection. Sensation. Insurrection of thought always precedes" tlie insurrection of arms. The last twenty years have been insurrection of thought.

Wo seem to be entering on a new phase of lite great moral American struggle. It seems lo mo that we have never exhibited as Americans we have never exhibited our own civilization. We have field back from tho iuforenee that we ought to have drawn from tho admitted principles which underlie our life. We have all the timidity of ihe old world, when we bend our eyes upon ideas of tho people we shrink back, trying to save ourselves from tlie inveterate control of tho thoughts of tho millions. The idea of civilization on the oilier sido of tho water seems to be, that men are created to be taken care of by somebody cIbc.

God did not leave him fit to go alone he Is in everlasting pupilago to the wealthy and tho educated. The religious or the comfortable Jclasscs nre an everlasting probate court to take care of lilra. Tho Old orld, therefore, has always dreaded the avorage conscience the common sonae of tho millions. It BCeuiB to mo the idea of our civilization underlying all American life 1b, that we do not neod any protector Wo need no safeguard.

Awful Riots in Baltimore. The telegraph reports a fearful amount of riot' ous violence in Baltimore. Thirty men nave boon murdered and business is entirely suspended For particulars tlie reader is referred to our tele, graphic column. Mr. Phillips on the Harper's Ferry Outbreak.

The noted New England Abolitionist lecturer, Mr. Phillips, delivered a remarkable but charac teristic discourse last evening in Plymouth Church. The grace of manner, the literary pol ish, the keen and cutting irony, and the pointed invective which distinguish the oral performances of the lecturer, and his style of delivery, were never more fully displayed, although the address must have been prepared without that careful deliberation which is usually bestowed upon public addresses delivered iu the lecture room. The speaker's ideal of American soeioty, which he hopes to aid in establishing, is one which shall seek no such props as churches, courts, laws, or political or social institutions, but shall rest upon the conscience of each individual member. The average common sense of the masses and their average selfishness neutralizing oach other ho would substitute for an eslablished government, i Mr.

Phillips' commonwealth bears a remarkablo likeness to that of the "honest old Counsellor of Naples" Gouzalo. "I' the commonwealth I should by contraries Execute all things for no kind of truffle "Would 1 admit no name of magistrate Letters should not be known no use ofserv ice. Of riches or of poverty no contracts, Succession, bound of land, tilth, vinoyard, none No uso of metal, corn, or wine, or oil No uso of occupation all men idle, all And women too but innocent and pure All things in common nature should produce Without sweat or endeavor. Nature should bring forth Of its own kind all plenty all abundance To feed my innoceut people." These aspirations have been dreamed of by poets and sentimentalists since the world began and as long as they find vent iu Bucolics and pastoral lyrics as long as they paint Tityrus sub tegmine fagi, and people the valleys of Arcadia with languishing Chloes and sighing Strephons, with pipe of straw and pastoral crook, they are harmless enough but when applied, or attempted to be applied, to real life the consequenc is as disastrous as the effort is childish. To establish this Utopia Mr.

Phillips is ready to walk through all obstacles he does not love carnage for its own sako, but if life and property stand in the way of the realization of his new Atlantis, so much the worse for life and property both must perish to make way for the idea. An attempt to carry out this poetical conception has already been made on a grand scale and the result forms a very conspicuous page of history. There is not the shadow of difference between the original programme of Robespierre and that of Wendell Phillips the former like the Lit. ter proposed to realise an ideal state of society, untrammelled by legal restraint, unencumbered by any church or religions establishment a society where plenty would be secured to every one and the means of perfect happiness placed within the reach of all. At the commencement he was more sentimental than Phillips the very first step of him and his party in that march which ended at the foot of the guillotine, was an attempt to abolish the death penalty.

But as they progressed obstacles arose, every form of social and political organization stood in the way the fundamental instincts of humanity opposed them and they finished their career, only after presenting a spectacle to mankind which no human reality equals and which rises to a "bad eminence" more lofty than the great poet couid erect for his arch, fiend. The success of Abolitionism, of which this is the poetic, intellectual aud sincere apostle, would be to re enact on this soil atrocities equal to those perpetrated by the mob of Paris. Aud all this to realise a dream that might inspire piping verses for a lady's album, but which is but a vrgary of the imagination. While we need hardly proclaim our antipathy to the bloody tenets of Mr. Phillips, we cannot fail to recognise his honesty and sincerity.

He freely admits that the Harper's Ferry proceedings of John Brown are the legitimate result of the teaching of himself and Republican associates he justifies it, glories iu it, and plants the laurel wreath of conquest and the glittering diadem of the marly on the brow of the old horse thief and assassin. He sneers at the dastardly attempt of the men who supplied him with money and arms enough to equip an army, to evade tXuipdilical consequences of his acts by pronouncing him insane. He shows the shallow hypocrisy of men who for 20 years have denounced vengeance against the South, and those who listen and applaud while he declares the Union a "covenant with death and agreement with hell," and urges the extermination of slave very at the South by fire and sword, and then for lack of courage to meet the treason, turn around and abuse the men who have practiced what they preached aud countenanced. John Brown is his ideal man, San Domingo his model of political reform. And this discourse is a Republican campaign speech.

Tho lecturer was introduced by Mr. Tilton, the Republican candidate for Assembly in the Fourth District of this city. While Mr. Beecher and Messrs. Wilson.

Greeley and the rest are disclaiming the acts of Brown to endeavor to retain conservative men in the Republican ranks, Mr. Phillips comes forward to proclaim the true end and consequences of the anti Blavery agitation. These are the real germs of the political future which we are to water and nurture or crush out and extinguish. Whether Brooklyn endorses or rejects the Republican platform as expounded by Mr. Phillips next Tuesday will decide.

A False Rumor Exi'loiied. Soon after the nomination of Gen. Serugham, of Westchester, for tho office of Justice of the Supreme Court in the Second udicial District, a Btory was put afloat that the Democratic Judges now on the bench, had expressed their preference for the Republican candidate, Mr. Reynolds, over Mr. Serugham.

Of course this could not have had the approval of Mr. who we believe is a gentleman of high character but some of his partisans circulated it through tho press and otherwise, until it came to the ears of Judges Lott and Brown, who most emphatically and indignantly deny the imputation. While the delicacy of their position docs not admit of an active part in the canvass for an associate on the bench, thoy are unwilling to be falsely represented at the expense of a candidate who commands their entire respect. We believe there 1b every prospect of the election of General Serugham. Mk.

Cochboft. In the Seventh Assembly District Mr. Jacob H. V. Cockroft has been nomina place of Frank Swift.

Mr. Cockroft is an old resident of the Nineteenth ward, widely known and esteemed in tho district, and his personal popularity will add weight to the ticket He has always been identified with tho Democratic party and was candidate for Alderman of the Ninetoeth ward two years ago, when he polled a larger vote than any other Domocrat ever received in that ward. Tho trial of the Harper's Ferry insurgents has now reached the eighth day. Yesterday the counsel for the prisoner Brown argued at some lenli a motion, lor an arrest of judgment, on the ground of variance between the verdict and the evidence and because the prisoner had been convicted upon the entire indictment, certain counts of which were Incompatible. Mr.

Hunter replied for the Commonwealth, and the Court rosoryed its decision. Tho trial of Ed ward Coppie was then resumed, the testimony being no more than a repetition of that obtained in the case of Brown. i makes the whole crystalizo into right and wrong and marshal themselves on one side or the other. And God I makes him the text, and all he asks of our comparatively cowardly lips is to proach the sermon, and say to tho American people, that whether that old man succeeded in a worldly souse or not, he stood a representative of law, of government, of right, of justice, of religion, and I they were pirates that gathered about him, and sought to wreak vengeance by taking his life.

Applause and hisses. "Well, I say what 1 really think. Cheers, cries of "Good, good." A MADMAN ItfT A HERO. I value that movement.

She grasps with one hand aMex ice, and with the other she dictates terms to Church, she imposes conditions on State, she buys up Webster witli a little and Everett with nothing. (Croat laughter and applause.) John Brown has given her something else to think of.

He has turned her attention inwardly. He has tjiught her that there has been created a new element in liis Northern mind; that it is not merely the thinker, that it is nol merely the editor, that it is not merely the moral reformer, but the idea that has pervaded all classes of so i ciety. Call them madmen if you will. Hard to tell who's mad. The world says one man is mad.

John Brown saitl the same of the Governor. You remember the mad man in Edinburgh. A friend asked him what he was there for? said lie, "they said at home that I was mad and I said I was not, but they had the majority." il.augliler.) Just so it is in regard to John Brown. The uation says he is mad. I appeal from Phillip drunk to Phillip sober; I appeal from the American people drunk with cotton aud the New York Observer, (loud aud long laughter) to the American people fifty years hence, when the light of civilization has had more time to penetrate, hen self interest has been rebuked by the world rising and giving its verdict on these great questions, when it is col a small band of Abolitionists, but the civilization of the nineteenth century that undertakes to enter the arena and discuss its last great reform.

This is not an insurrection; this is a penetration of a different element. Mark you, it is not the oppressed race rising. Recollect history.

There never was race held iu chains lhat absolutely vindicated its own liberty but one. 1 nere never was a sen nor a slave whose own sword cut off his own chain but one. Blue eyed, light haired Anglo Saxon, it was not our race. We were serfs for three centuries, and wo waited till commerce and Christianity, and a different law, had melted our fetters. We were crowded down into a villainage wliich crushed out our manhood so thoroughly that we had't vigor enough to redeem ourselves.

Neither did France, neither did Spain, neither the Northern nor the Southern races of Europe have that bright spot on their escutcheon, that they put an end to their Slavery. Blue eyed, haughty, contemptuous Anglo Saxons, it was the black the only race in the record of history that ever, after a century oppression, retain the vigor to write the character of its emancipation with its one hand in the blood of the domi nnnt race. Despised, calumniated, slandered San Do mingo is the only instance in history where a race witli indestructive love of justice, severing a hundred years of oppression, rose up under Iheir own leader, and with their own ideas abolished Slavery on their own soil. Wait, garrulous, vain glorious, boasting Saxon, till we have done half as much, before we talk of the cowardice of the black race. THE COVENANT WITH DEATH AND AGREEMENT WITH HELL Ilis the lesson of the age.

The first cropping out of it is in such a man as John Brown. He did not measure his means. He was not thrifty as to his method he did not calculate closely enough, and lie was defeated. What is defeat Nothing but education nothing hut the first step to something better. All that is wanted is, that this public opinion shall not creep around like a servile coward, aud unbidden, but corrupt, insane and disordered public opinion, proclaim that Gov.

Wise, because ho says he is a Governor, is a Governor, that Virginia is a State becnuseahe says she is so. Thank God I am not a citizen. You will remember, all of you, citizens of the United there was not a Virginia gun fired at John Brown. Hundreds of well armed Maryland and Virginia troops tfiat went there never dared lo pulj a trigfrer. 1 'nit shot him Sixteen marines to whom you pay $8 a month your own representatives.

SYMPATHY FOP. BnOWN. I wish I could say anything worthy of the great deed which has taken place in our day the opening of tho sixth seal, the pouring out of tho last vial but one on a corrupt and giant institution.

I know that many men will deem me a fanatic for uttering this wholesale vituperation, as it will be called, upon a State, and this indorsement of a madman. I can only say that I have spoken on this Anti Slavery question before the American people twenty years that I have seen the day when this same phase of popular opinion was on flic other side. You meet with the evidence of it everywhere. When the first news of Harper's Ferry came to Massachusetts, if you were riding in tho if you were walking in the streets, if you met a Democrat or a Whig or a ltepubli cun, no matter what his politics, it was a singular circumstance that he did not speak of the guilt of Drown, or the atrocity of the deed. The first impulsive expression, the first outbreak of every man's words was "What a pity he did not succeed Laughter.

hat a fool lie was for not going ofT Monday, when ho had all he wanted How strange lie didno't take his victory and march away with if." It indicated the unconseio'us leavening of sym palhy wilh Ihe attempt. Days followed on they commenced what they called their trial you meet the same classes again no man said he ought to be hung no mnu predicted anything of his moral position every man voluntarily and inevitably seemed to give vent to his indignation at the farce of a trial indicative again of that unheeded, unconscious, potent, but wide spread sympathy on tiie side of Brown. Pemocratic Mass Meeting at New totts. A grand demonstration was made by the Democracy of New Lotts last night, which for numbers and enthusiasm lias not been equalled in this town since the Presidential election. The meeting was held at Loliman's Hotel, East New York.

It was organized by the election of the following officers I'eiisidknt P. H. ItEED. VICE PRESIDENTS. Oapt.

Middcndoif, Joseph Langen, W. Heitkamp. The Chairman said he should not detain the meeting with any remarks himself, as there were distinguished gentlemen present who would address them, and he proceeded to introduce them. The speeches of the gentlemen named were necessarily in substance the same as they delivered in Brooklyn, so far as relates to the general issues presented in the coming election, and which we have already reported. Judge N.

T. Kossiter, of Brooklyn, was the flrst speaker. He spoke at some length, confining his remarks to tho broad national principles of tho two parlies. Ho traced the history of parties from the days of the Federalists to the present. The Democracy had always been the party of the people, their opponents under whatever name they had appeared were the representatives of the aristocracy, legislating for the few at the expense of the many.

The principles of the Democracy were immutable; those of their opponents changed every year, and they never yet advanced a principle that they did not subsequently desert, as we now' see them deserting their principles and their instrument, Old Brown, who undertook to carry them out at Harper's Kerry. In conclusion he urged the Democracy of New Lotts to he true to themselves on Tuesday next, and give their undivided support to tho regular ticket. Senator Spinola was then introduced and was greeted with three hearty cheers. On taking the stand, ho said ho thanked them for their warm reception, and said that this demonstration gavo him renewed courage, and strengthened his faith in the Democracy of Kings county, that they would stand by their colors and trample out all factious attompta to divide them and defeat their regular nominations. When ho accepted the nomination, ho believed it to bo the unanimous wish of the Democracy of tho district.

Every Democrat ho saw or heard from desired him to be the candidate. There was no opposition to him in the Convention. Mr. Hatfield did not ouer himself as a candidate before the Convention, yet Mr. Hatfield was put in nomination against him.

Mr. Hatfield was the candidalo of a honied monopoly iu New York, which together with tho Republicans of Kings furnishing moans to carry on tho campaign to defeat him (Spinola). It remained to bo soon whether tho people would permit this Infamous loagao to succeed in their attempt, or whether they would crush thorn out at the ballot box. Thurlow Weed had agreed with Mr. Hatfield, that If he draws off votes enough from tho regulnr candidates to elect Mr.

Bergon, that Mr. Bergen shall vote for the Broadway Railroad in New York, or which Mr. Hatfield is one of the incorporators, and tho Republicans only oaring to socuro Mr. Bergen to vote for the election of Heword to tho U. 8.

Benato. Mr. Spinola then reviewed tho acta and policy of tho Republican party in this Stato, tho enaction of the Maine Law, and the Metropolitan Pollco Law, two apocimons of their LciiisluUun.

He had not yet raised himself unto the level daring to trust justice, which is the preliminary consideration to trusting the people; for whether native depravity be true or not, it is a truth, attested by all history, that a race gravitates towards justice, aitdthat indulging all differences of opinion, there is an inherent essential tendency to the great Knglish principle of fair play at the bottom of our natures.

Now our object for twenty years has been to educate the muss of the American people up to that leval of moral life that it shall recognize that free speech carried to that extent is Cod's norma! school, educating the American mind, throwing upon it the grave responsibility of deciding a great question by means ofthat responsibility, lifting theni to the 'higher of an intellectual aud moral lite. Now scholarship stands on one side, and, like your E.uil.E, says, "This is madnessl' Well, poorman! he thinks so! (Laughter.) The very difficulty of the whole matter is that he does think so, and this normal school that weopou is for him. His seat is on the low est end of ihe lowest bench.

(Laughter and applause.) Hut he only represents that very chronic distrust which pervades ail that class. It is the educated minds of these Northern Slates. Auacbarsis went into the forum at Alliens and heard a east; argued by the great minds of the day, and heard the vote. He walked out into the streets, and somebody said to him, What think you of Athenian libert)' "I think," said he, "wiso men argue cause. and foo'ls decide them." Just what the timid scholar two thousand years ago said in the streets of Athens, that which calls itseli' the scholarship of the United States to day of popular agitation that it lots wise men argue questions aud fools decide them, liut that early Athens, where fools decided the gravest questions of policy and r.ght and wrong, where it was not sale to be just, and where property might be wrung from you by the prejudices of tho mob to morrow, which you had garnered up by the thrift and industry of to day; that very Athens showed us humanity at a higher level, gave us the giants of intellect, and shines out the torch lhat makes antiquity visible; while Egypt, the hunker conservative of antiquity, where the question of expediency ruled tiie hour, went down to the tomb, and the Intellect which Alliens has created for us digs to day those ashes to find out what hunkerism knew and did.

(Cheers.) Now my idea of American civilization is that it is a second part, a repetition of that sublime confidence in Ihe public conscience and the public thought that made the groundwork of Grecian Democracy. SYMPTOMS OF SUCCESS. Well, we have been talking of public men. There have been various evidences of education; I will tell you of one. The first evidence that a sinner convicted of sin, and too blind or too lazy to reform the lirst evidence that he can give that his nature has been touched, is that he becomes a hypocrite; he has the grace to pretend to be something.

Now, the first cuidencc that the American people gave of that commencing grace of hypocrisy was this: in 1S33, when we commenced the Anti Slavery agitation, the papers talked about Slavery, bondage, American Slavery, bold, frankly and bluntly. In a few years it soup.de'd hard: it had a grating effect; the hardest throat of the hardest Democrat felt it as it came out. So they spoke of the "patriarchial institution," (laughter;) then of the domestic institution," (continued laughter:) and then of the "peculiar institution" (laughter) and in a year or tw it got beyond that. Mississippi published a report from her Senate, in wliich she went a stride beyond that, and described it as "economic subordination." "(Renewed laughter.) A Methodist bishop in Ohio was taken to task tor holding slaves iu reality, but his Methodist brethren were not courageous enough to say "slaves" right out in meeting, and so they said the bishop must get rid of his "impediment" (loud laughter) and Ihe lute Mr. Kufus Clioatc, in the last Democratic canvass in my own State, undertaking and necessitated to refer to the" institutions of the South, and knowing that his old New England lips, that had spoken so many glorious free truths in tho twenty years that were ended, could not foul their best days with the hated word, he phrased it, "a different tvpe of industry." Nov, hypocrisy why "it is the homage that Vice renders to Virtue." "When men begin to got weary of capita punishment, thoy banish the gallows inside the ynni, and do not let anybody sen it without special card of invitation from the rilieriir.

And so Ihey havc banished Slavery into pet phrases and fancy flash words, go (fiat if you should dig our Egyptian Hunkerism up from tin grave into which it is rapidly sinking, wo should have to have a commentator of the true German blood to find out what all these queer, odd, peculiar, imaginable phases mean in this middle of the Nineteenth Century. SHAP.P's UIFI.KS RF.eOMMKNIP,I. That was one evidence of progress. At that time we had another I believe immoral maxim. 1 believe the age ofbuilets is over.

I believe lhat the age of ideas is come. I think that is the preaching of our country. The old Hindoo dreamed, vou know, in Ihe beautiful bevond here, that lie saw the human race led out of its varied fortune. First, lie saw men bitted and curbed, ami the reins went back to an iron hand. But his dream changed on and on.

until at last lie saw men led by reins that came from the brain and went back into an unseen hand. It was the type of Governments the first a Government of despotism, palpably iron and the last, our Government, a Government of brains, a Government of ideas. I believe in it in public opinion. Yet, let me say, in passing, that Ithink you can make a belter use of fron than forging it into chains. If you must have the nu lal, put it into Sharpc's rifles.

It is a great deal better used that way than in fetters a great deal belter than a great elumsv statue of a false great man, for men to kneel down and worship in a Slate house yard. Loud and renewed clivers and great hissing. I am so unused to hisses lately that I have forgotten what I had to say. angli ter aud hisses.J I meant as I said. JOHN A HEP.0 AND MAF.TVll, In Kent's beautiful poem of "Lamia" a young man had been led captive by a phantom girl, and was her slave of beauty and luxury, until the old teacher came in and fixed his thoughtful eye on the figure audit vanished, and the pupil started up himself again.

And you see the great Commonwealth of Virginia, fitly represented by a pyramid standing upon its apex. A Connecticut burn man entered at one corner of her dominions, and tlwd his cold grey eye upon the government of Virginia, and nearly vanished it by Ids very gaze. For it seems that Virginia, asked leave "to be" of John Brown at Harper's Ferry. (Cheers and applause.) Connecticut has sent out many a school master to the otherthiriy Stales; but she never lias sent one out before as she lias s. ui that Litclifleld born school master to Harper's Ferry, to write upon the Natural Bridge in tho face of nations, 1, is ''py book: Resistance to tyrants is obedience to Cud." (Loud cheers.) I said that the Lesson of the hour was insnrrocUon.

I ougbl not to apply that word to John Brown i.ro.sawa toniie. for their was no insurrection in Ids case. It is a great mistake to call him an insurgent. This principle that I have endeavored so briefly to open to you. of absolute right and wrong, states what? "Commonwealth of Virginia!" There is no sucli tiling.

There is no civil society, there is no government, that can exist, e.vxvpt'un the basis of impartial, equal submission of all its citizens, and by the performance of the duty of renili riug i justice between man and man. Everything that calls itself a government, and refuses that duty, or has not that assent, is no Igovernmcnt. It is only a piratoship.

APOTHEOSIS OF HORSE 8TEALI.NI;, Brown was the man who could leave Kansas, and go into Missouri and take eleven men and give tlieru ti, and bring them off on the horses which he carried with him, and two which he took as tribute from their maslers in order to facilitate escape. Then when he has passed his human proteges from the vulture of the United States to the safe shelter of the English lion, this is the brave frank and sublime truster in God's right and absolute his' tice, that entered his name In the city of Cleveland John Brown, of Kansas, and advertised there two horses for sale, and stood iu front of the auctioneer's stand notifv ing nil bidders of the derect in the title, ri.aiighter.l But he added with non ehalancc, when he told the storv Ihev brought a very excellent price.

Bergen, in the chair. The minutes of the last meeting were road and approved, when the Clerk read a communication from Eav. James Marshall, of 44 Bedford avenue, complaining of the action of one of tho Local Committee, Mr. Jeremiah Johnson, in prohibiting his son (Joorge from taking Sari in the exercises at an exhibition of the pupils of chool No. 1(1.

The cause assigned was tho boy's misbehavior in tlie Lee avenue Sabbath School a long time previous. A discussion of considerable length followed as to tho propriety of referring the subject to the Local Committee, several members contending that as one of tho Committee was the party complained of, it should be referred to a Committee consisting of two of the Local Committee and another member of the Board. The subject was at length referred to the Local Committee for report. A communication was received from Mons. Lefetrc, applying for a position as French Teacher iu the public schools.

Tlie Local Committee reported in favor of paying for constructing' pavement in the yard of School No. 17, wliich elicited some discussion, in which payment was objected to. It was stated that the repairs were required as the stones were so out of place as to be dangerous to the children.
