Its value as an advertising An Endorsement. Mayor Powell is a man whose endorsement will go as far with the people of Brooklyn as that of any man in it.

Himself of sterling integrity and of pure political princlple3( praise from him is praise indeed. At the meeting in the Ninth ward on Wednesday evening last he made a brief address, which was reported in our columns yesterday. Of Hugh McLaughlin, the Democratic candidate for ShcrifT, he spoke as foL lows "Ilugli McLaughlin, the regular candidate for Sheriff, "is a pure and incorruptible man a man self made, unassuming and unpretending, who had assisted to place "more than one Democrat in this city in power and po. "silion, and there'ls no man living can say that Ilugu "McLaughlin's hand was ever stained by receiving a "bribe for doing any political or any other favor for any "man. Such a man, gentlemen, is Hugh McLaughlin, "and I ask you all to vote for him.

He belongs to the regular and "only regular organization of this county, andl ask you "to sustain it stand by and crash out disorganization, "because if you don't sustain your regular organization, "you might as well give up, for you can't exist politically 'without organization." (Cheers.) Now Tork decides tho contest in I860. The Union, the Constitution, and tho laws us i they are. Brooklyn will do her duty. Ward Democratic Union Club The Un ion! the only guarantee of Constitu tional rights. The names of various candidates, including the following, were displayed on other transparencies Bronson and Redield.

J. Wliito will save $140,000 per to the Taxpayers. For Justice of tho Peace Honest Mike Walsh, of the 10th Ward. For Justice Zachariah Voorhies. Superintendent of the Poor James Boylo.

The Tenth Ward Club, we may add here, is but a week old, and it now numbers seven hundred members. The energy displayed by those at the head of it is deserving of all praise. In the rear of the club was a banner on which was represented the White House, and a big negro marked "Lincoln's Platform." The Eighth Division closed the procession, and consisted of the 19th Ward Democratic Club, the 7th Ward Regulators, and the 19th Ward Dougla3 and Johnson Club. The 19th ward boys turned out 250 men, and were preceded by a boat on a wagon drawn by three horses. The boat was manned, and from her stern floated a large American flag.

The boats crew bore transparencies on which were the following mottoes: "Don't give up the ship." "The Union and the Constitution." "Tho hull of our ship is staunch." "Onward We march to Victory." i "The 10th Ward The last in the city, but sound on the goose." The delegations from this ward looked exceedingly well. The Seventh Ward Regulators turned out 000 men, dressed in red shirts, and under command of David D. Rodgers and Richard Smith. Among the mottos were the following will the rail splitter." The Republic is for the welfare of all. "No negro suffrage." The Brooklyn Boy for Sheriff Hugh Mclaughlin.

Captain Kraack had command of this division. In "the order above indicated, the various divisions filed into DeKaib avenue and marched into Fulton avenue. At this point the sight was very imposing. DeKaib avenue, as far as the eye could reach, was illuminated by the variegated lights, borne in the procession; the several bands played patriotic airs; the houses were lighted up, and many of them were illuminated; fireworks of every color illumined the atmosphere; the sidewalks were crowded with people, the ladies being in the ascendant in numbers. Above all, 5,000 voters kept step to the music of that Union which they mean to defendthat Union which guarantees the happineis 01 our whole country, ana seuiues peace ana The procession marched through Fulton avenue, and at several points the ladies from the balconies and the windows waved their handerchiefs and indicated by their smiles that they are with us.

From Pulton avenue the procession pasaed through Joralemon street, down Joralemon to Court, through Court to Clinton. In Clinton st. several houses were illuminated, and several pri The KeliaoHity of the Bell and Everett Ken: To Vie Editor of tJie Brooklyn. Eagle I have just been reading your ditorlalof to day, ahd I have no hesitation in Baying that I entirely agree with you in the opinion expressed, that tho Bell and EveretJmenniay be relied upon in the present emergency. They will be true to their compact.

It is because they are true and faithful men faithful to their own obligations faithful to the compact which their fathers made that they now stand side by side with the Democracy for the purpose of defeating a party whose prime article of faith seems to them to be in violation of an inalienable right of a section of our country in violation of the compact of our fathers as set forth in the Constitution of the United StateB in violation of good brotherhood, and in violation of the golden rule, "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you." I make no pretensions to the name of Democrat, neither does the Bell and Everett party, at least a very large portion of it, so I think 1 mean the remains of the old Whig party, that were left after the treacherous, ultra and selfish politicians attached to it cnt itB jugular at its last Baltimore Convention, and then deserted it. A large por those deserters are now doing service in the Republican ranks, though some of them have gone over to. the Democracy. Beware of them you cannot safely trust them they have only selfish ends in view. You know something of the temper, truthfulness and vigor of the old true blue Whigs.

The record of the times will tell you that they never despaired of their cause, were never discouraged by defeat that they were ever ready for the next battle. It was not till the treachery of professed friends placed them in such a position that it became them to retire from the strife and for a time become quiet spectators of the contending elements. But though retired they did not died they were still watchful, still true to their faith and ever ready to step forward when the opportunity should arrive for them to render efficient aid In the cause of their country. That time has now arrived, and you may well say they can be relied upon. Bell and Everett men love their whole country, and regard as equally sacred the rights of the whole.

They are not office seekers they simply desire to promote the harmony and wel Jare of their country to establish upon itnmova able foundations the integrity of our Union, believing as they do that human freedom and the advancement of the world depend in a great degree, if not wholly, upon the permanence of our institutions. If we fail who can succeed Who dares then to talk of disunion, or take any step jwards such a result The Bell and Everett men believe that the only way to secure harmony and good will throughout the land, and permanence to our institutions, is for all to be true to the compact of our lathers to the letter and the spirit. They have no faith in the man who stands up in the Senate and in the House and thunders in the very ears cf the slave, "your master is a barbarian," and then I a slave and had the power, and were it necessary to achieve my freedom, I would not hesitate totK vp and bridge over the chasm that yawns between the hell of slavery and the heaven of freedom the carcases of the slain." What is the tendency of such language but to incite the slave to rise up and destroy the so called barbarian, and to fill up and bridge over the chasms as described Why, Mr. Editor, it does seem to me as though it would be impossible to find a man in tho worst portions of New York so lost to all riju.t feeling so deadly a foe to humanity, both white and black, as to give utterance to suehsentiments under such circumstances. And yet the Republican party sustain such men and endorse their sentiments, by publishing their speeches and circulating them throughout the land, as campaign documents.

Sir, we have no antipathy to the slave we feel no unkindness towards the black race, we would gladly see them free and fitted for feedom, and elevated to the extent of their capacity. And we religiously believe that the best thing we can do to promote their welfare is to leave the cause of the slave entirely to the volition of the South they have confidence in the land that gave us our Washington in the sons of the men who dwelt in swamps fed on roots, and dared all the extremities of our Revolution for the cause of human freedom. There are no men in the world more generous, more friendly, or who would go further to do a kindness than most Southern men, when not aggravated and outraged by groB3 meanness and injustice. I could say much more, but will only add let every man who loves his country, who regards its well being and its honor, and who wishes to leave to his children an inheritance worth preserving, ooroo For rrerd twjl by liio TOtc at tUc CUSUlUg election, put the stamp of his disapprobation upon all underground R.

operations and works a kin to them. N. B. I would say individually, "let the same measure of protection be extended to all legalized property which may be taken into the territories of the United States by the citizens thereof and let the incoming States establish such institution and with a Republic.u form of Government, as their consciences and a due regard for their common interest shall direct. Con any man in bis senses entertain a doubt as to the result.

He will see free States as sure as he lives. Wm. H. Seward has recently stated that slavery cannot be carried into the territories without re opeDing the slave trade, which he knows cannot be done, and yet he is traveling about the country exciting the people, especially operating: upon the young, on the one subject of slavery! How shall we regard such a man Shall he longer misrepresent ub in the Senate? Let us answer at the polls. An Old Whig.

The division formed, on Clermont consisted of Company Bell and Everett Minute Men, King's County Bell and Everett Club. The minute men, Co in number, wore red capes and carried varigated lanterns, looked and marched well, and were repeatedly cheered. The Club attached to this body, 150 strong, each bearing a red silk badge, with a portrait of Washington upon it. The banner of the Minute Men was followed by Co. dressed in white cape and cap, and contributed mainly to the general effect.

This division turned out 350 slrong. These divisions were loudly cheered on the line of march, and greeted with the waving of handkerchiefs from the open windows as they passed along. Some of the houses on DeKaib avenue were illuminated, and demonstrations of enthusiasm were every where apparent. The Bell and Everett men displayed a banner with the following inscription i Our Bell tolls the knell, for the death of Republicanism where Ever ett goes. The sixth division formed on Adelphi street, and consisted of the members of the 11th ward democratic club and a company of artillery with a gun, 50 strong.

The club turned out over three hundred men, dressed in white ohirto with blue facings. The artillery bnys wore red shirts and all carried torches, and numerous trausp areiicico rrcxu vaixicu id me atvision bearing the names of the candidates of the party prominent among them the following: For Congress Mosks F.

Robert Furey acted as division Marshal In this division was the Bay Ridge and Fort HamI ilton club, consisting of over three hundred stal warth countrymen dressed in hickory shirts, and carrying hickory sticks in their hands.

The club was preceded by a wagon drawn by four horses; over the wagon was an arch, bearing the words Bay Ridge and Fort Hamilton Hickory Club. Several transparencies were carried by the men bers, moBt of them bearing the word that now seems to have a peculiar significance "Union." Another wagon followed, upon which was placed a large boat manned by an enthusiastically democratic crew. The affair was profusely decorated with bunting streamers and Chinese lamps' and upon the boat were exhibited transparencies with various incriptions, among them On Nov. 6th we'll give 'em fits.

In the Seventh Division the most prominent company indeed one oi the most prominent clubs in the procession was that from the Tenth Ward. This club turned out over 500 strong under command of Capt. Oliver Cotter. A large wagon, drawn by four horses lead the van. The The wagon was gaily decorated with flags and Chinese lanterns.

All intended to signify that if the Republicans get the upper hand they mean to place the darkey on social equality with the whites, and the consequences will be that Sambo will be a competitor with us for all the pretty girls. The members of the club all carried torches, and numerous transparencies were in the line on which were the following mottoes Union for the soke of tho Union. Cabinet Makers can beat Bail Splitters. Down with Albany Corruption.

NOV. 2. The Demands of Duty. It is quite evident that there is a probability the Democratic party being defeated at the approaching election and that disaster it can only meet with in the house of its friends. And should the anticipation he realized it will not be a mere defeat but an overthrow such as it has never before sustained and from which it will require a a longer time to recover than it ever before required to gather up its energies after the few temporary reverses it has sustained.

No other political organization has ever stood by the liberal and generous principles upon which our government was originally based. It has stood like a wall of brass between the rights of the states and the encroachments of federal power; between the Southern States and the Exeter Hall fanaticism that sects to destroy the Republic by attacking its vulnerable point. It has protected minorities from oppression, and shielded the citizen in the enjoyment of his rights.whcn assailed by prejudices of creed and race. It has always been opposed by those who seek to circumscribe individual lights, and limit political power to particular classes, to those who base pretensions to superiority on birlli, or wealth, or the enjoyment ol accidental advantages. It prevented the establishment of a despotism which sought to secure exemption from popular censure and criticism by muzzling the press and gagging the tongues of citizens whose rights were violated, by resisting and overthrowing the alien and sedition laws.

It prevented the general government from exercising the corrupt power that a natioual bank conferred; and has kept the government strictly to the principles upon which its founders intended that it should be conducted. It is therefore a question for those who know its history and have gloried in its triumphs, whether they will preserve it, or whether they will permit the animosities engendered by intestine feuds to induce them to seize hold of its Corinthian pillars and drag down the noble edifice for the satiafaction of burying those with whom they are at enmity, as well as themselves, beneath its ruins. The present Republican party exhibits the characteristics that have always marked the auti Democratic element in our population. The corrupt use of money has marked its ascendency not only at the National Capitol, where JIatteson and his "forty thieves" established a "tree wool." brokerage of which Mr. "Weed and the innocent, Greeley were ready agents, and which levied black mail on every enactment brought before Congress, that would bear the imposition, but in Ohio and Maine, and every State where ihey attained power, their career has been marked by wholesale plunder and defalcations.

Fanatical Maine Law and abolitional enactments hare gone hand in hand with official plunder and financial corruption. The doings at Albany last winter of a Legislature two thirds Republican, and engineered by the leader of the party, Mr. Weed, proves that corruption is no local or accidental incident of Republicanism, bat an inseperable characteristic of the party. It is also as partial to class legislation as its predecessors. It finds in the institutions ot the Sonth a reason for denouncing the people of that section as barbarians, and seeks to gain possession of the national government on the sole ground of directing it toward the oppression and degradation of the Southern people.

It is not yet strong enough to disfranchise or degrade any class of citizens at the North, except in a few New England States, and there we find, in Massachusetts, the elevation of the negro to the political level of the most favored accompanied bv a law reducine white men of foreign extraction below the level of the negro. Should they succeed now in admitting negroes to the right of eijnal suffrage with our own race, and so open the way for a large inflnr of runaways from the South, ihr might feel strong enough, by the aid of their colored friends, to imitate the example of Missaehu. Betts and exclude from the polls that class of citizens whose crime is a refusal to vote the Repnb. lican ticket. The most dangerous charaeterietic of the party is its determination to clutch political power and use it to build up and fortify itself in a position beyond the reach of the people to dispossess It.

Witness its conversion of the police force of these strongly Democratic citie3 into a political engine for overawing the people, and serving the Republican cause, by contributing taxes imposed upon them sometimes as forced levies, and by active personal exertions which constitute a total perversion of the office they hold. It is against this tyrannous party that its opponents are now called to act. There is no mode of resisting its progress or preventing the evils its success would entail upon the country but through the agency of the Demociatic party. Let that party be broken up and there is no organization left whereby to combat the hosts now rallying under the Abolition banner. A majority of the people even at the North may regard it with detestation but without concerted action they will be impotent to defend the Constitution and the lights of the States against its assaults.

It is a minority that always precipitates a revolution. A compacted and determined combination few in numbers but resolute in character will effect their purposes against myriads of disjointed forces, engaged in quarrelling among themselves. Let the Republican party obtain the control of the government and they muBt carry into effect their professions of hostility to slavery. Any failure to do so would alienate at once three fourths of its supporters and sound its death knell. Revolutions never go backward unless arrested by a power superior to their own inherent impulse.

It may be said that if the Republican party succeeded it will only be placed on trial aDd the people will hurl it from power if disturbance and disaster follow in its track. Now, it i6 admitted on all hands, that the party is in a large minority even in the free States, where it alone has an existence. If its opponents, who outnumber it now, and possess the constitutional power to defeat it, fail to do BO, will their efforts be more able to cope with it when it wields the whole power of the government, and the onjy organization capable of wrestling with it successfully has been destroyed Let thinkiDg men ponder upon these things. Already dread has seized upon the country, and Ub business relations are becoming deranged and interrupted. This ripple only presages the roar of the torrent, and though easily stemmed now may become irresistable if allowed to proceed and gather strength and volume as it goes.

It is the duty of every man who eee3 these things in their true light, and knows and feels the dan. gcrous tendency of Republicanism, to trample upon all feelings of resentment that would lead him to act in any way calculated to give indirect aid to Buch a cause. If there are grievances to be remedied, and differences to be adjusted, let them be postponed until a victory is achieved and then set to work to reform party abuses instead of uo lauorme to destroy the party itself.

EVERY TORCH BEARER A VOTEB. The streets lined with Spectators. THE CLUBS, THE MOTTOES, THE FIREWORKS, AND INCIDENTS OF THE EVENING. The torchlight procession of the Union men of Kings County came off last evening, and was on the whole a creditable affair. Torchlight parauV ing has been left to boys on the Republican side during this campaign, and the Union men desiring to see how men how voters keeping step to the music of the Union would look, determiu cd, at very short notice, to try it.

There were two or three unfortunate drawbacks, for none of which Brooklyn is responsible. On the occasion of the torchlight procession in New York, the Union men of our city, to the number of seven thousand, inarched shoulder to shoulder with their brethren of New York they asked anil expected that our sister city would feel it a duty to return the courtesy the New York people not only failed to come, but the Eastern District division was kept waiting for them so long at the Ferry, that they were unable to form into line at all, and the consequence was that we had two processions, ore in the Eastern and one in the Western section of our city. Both together ve compute numbered seven thousand men, and every man a voter. The night was moonlight, calm and beautiful overhead there was nothing more to be desired, but the streets were fearfully muddy, and in those where the sewerage pipes have recently been laid, walking was almost impossible. At seven o'clock two large bonfires were lighted on Fort Greene, and the booming of cannon gave note of preparations.

Three quarters of a century ago men assembled on the same spot to do sterner work, indeed, but actuated by the same purpose, and having the same object as that which animates the breast of every Union man the preservation and welfare of our whole country. We give below a detailed description of the whclc affair, and commence with The Procession. From an early hour in the evening the streets iippointed as the places of rendezvous for the Clubs participating in the parade, were thronged with anxious sight seekers. It was with difficulty that the uninterested, unpolitical, or unenthu siastic citizen, could plod his way through the dense masses of humanity in hoops and out of them, which jammed the sidewalks and the street corners, as the procession passed. The various Clubs formed in DeKaib avenue and the adjacent streets at an early hour, but it was nine o'clock before the Grand Marshal and his retinue moved at the head of the procession.

At about the hour named, the order "forward," was given, and the procession began to move in the following line: First came the GrandMarshal, Edmund Driggs, and his aids, who represented the parties forming the Union organization of the County. Their names are as follows A Wood, Altklns. Wm Paris, Hon SS Powell, Robt Furey, Matt Murphy, A Sutton, Litchfield. Bernard O'Neill, Jno Douglass, Jno A Dayton, TBannon, ContreU, And Cunningham, Jno Raber, FA Ward, Martin Kalbflelscu. Gilbert Potter, Jr, Abm Lott, M5 BTnnett, Bergen.

The aids were mounted, and wore white scarfs as distinguishing badges, while the trappings of their horses bore the word "Union" upon them in large letters. The Grand Marshal was seated in an open barouch handsomely decorated. Nest came th Union members of the Common Council, and the various heads of departments in open carriages, which were gaily ornamented with flags, streamers and lanterns. In some of the carriages red, white and blue transparencies were exhibited bearing the single word, UNION. The members of the Democratic General Committee were also present in barouches.

Altogether the carriages numbered over twenty, and formed quite a feature of the procession. The First Division was in charge of Capt. Ryn ders, who was the object of much cheering at many places along the line of march. This division was to have embraced the visiting clubs from New York city, which for some unaccountable reason were not present at the starting place. First in order came a troop of horse about a hundred strong, each horse having a blanket with the word "Union" in the corner.

Among the transparencies which were borne by the horsemen were these We are United for the Union. Another Split Ralls, but not the Union. Another Brooklyn Is for the Union. And another Kings County, 10,000 Majority. Next came the "Young Men's Union League" No.

1, under Captain Wm. E. Wilson, who made a very fine appearance indeed, and numbered abont ISO. The members wore the regular uniform of glazed caps and capes, and bore particolored lanterns. The banner of the club is a very handsome affair silk with rich bullion fringe, and bears upon it the portrait of Washington.

Boyer's band accompanied this club. Next came the "Hickory Boys of Kings County," an immense turnout, preceded by their splendid banner bearing the efigy of Andrew Jackson. The Boys turned out several hundred strong, and amone them were the "Second Ward Hickory Boye," bearing transparencies with the name of their candidate for Sheriff Hugh McLaughlin. Among the inscriptions on the transparencies were these: Onr country first the negroes after. Abe may split rails, but he cannot the Union.

afraid to trust the South with a Vice Fresi dent. The second division formed on Hamilton street near DeKaib avenue, and was under the direction of Bernard O'Nell, marshal. This division was headed by the "German Democratic Union Club of Kings County" on horseback, under Captain Schephard, preceded by a band. This Club numbered over a hundred, and save that the horses grew restive now and then frightened by the din of music, cheers, rockets and general whizzing and fizzing of fireworks, their turnout was very effective. Attempt to Defraud the Union Men of Rings County.

There is every reason to believe that the Metropolitan Police force of this city co operating with the Wide Awake Clubs have in view a scheme to prevent the national men of Kings County from polling their nil vote. The plan is a simple one. Upon an average ballots ought to be deposited at the rate of one ballot and a half to the minute. Granting that the polls arc open for 112 hours, even this maximum would be insufficient to cover the vote of some of the election districts. Now if the Wide Awakes can only manage by adroit challauging to occupy a minute and a half in taking the vote of every third man, with what aid they can get from delay occasioned by the Police, it will be an easy matter to consume the time between sunrise and sunset so as to cut off at least one third of the National vote.

What is the remedy Simply this. Let the Sheriff station special de puties at every poll, and when a voter Is ekallcng cd stand Jtim aside 'while going through the formalities of the challange, and allow the next man in line to dispose of his ballot. By this means all dalays will be obviated, and we shall be enabled to give from 10,000 to 12,000 majority for the Union ticket. Remember that the Registry act was passed to overcome the heavy national vote of New York and Kings County, and let every friend of the Constitution be on hand to see that this shameful fraud is not constituted. Rally Rally RallyJ! Sesdixg the Election to tee House.

The N. Times has been laboring to create the impression that great excitement and danger would result from the failure of the people to electa President. Terrible scenes would be enacted in the as Lincoln would a majority the Times actually complained that the Republicans would be compelled to buy the representatives of those two States, and upon the people to prevent the necessity of resorting to means so repugnant to the managers of its party So far from dangerous excitement following the defeat of Lincoln an instant calm would be the result and the country would lapse at once into a feeling of security and repose. The Tribune in a leader of Wednesday last shows what will be the result of defeating Lincoln. No stronger refutation of the bugaboo of the Times, and no stronger incentive to nerve the energies of Breckinridge Democrats ever was offered.

Here is what Greeley says It must be borne in mind that the contest will not reach the House until after the official counting of the votes in the presence of both branches of Congress, and the declaration that there (has been no choice of President and Vice President by the Electoral Colleges. This will not be done till the fore part of February. Therefore, when the contest reaches the House, only about three weeks of the session will remain. When we remember that the southern members, by what is oniipfi "fillibusterinsr." stove. nff th fiWr.irm nf a Speaker of this same Honsefor two months, we need not say how easy it would be to prevent the election of a President by that body during the short space of three weeks.

None but simple Ifre! non shot of the question of electing a President. What, then, would result from this complication, this dead lock The same Electoral Colleges which send Lincoln, Breckinridge and Bell to the House (none but lunatics and idiots dream that Douglas's name will be returned there) will send Hamlin and Lane to the Senate as candidates for the Vice Presidency. While the House is engaged in its wrangle over the Presidency, the Democratic Senate will promptly elect Joe Lane Vice President, who, on the 4th of March, there being no President in existence, will, by virtue of the Constitution, become President, as did John Tyler and Millard Fillmore. Such will be the inevitable result of defeating theLineoln electoral ticket in New York. Pennsylvania in 1850.

A correspondent wishes to be informed whether Pennsylvania voted Democratic or Republican at the October election of 1856 if the Democrats had the majority at that election. The Democrats did carry the October election, but by a very majority, the average being a little over 5000. It was almost neck and neck yet in the Presidential election the Democrats beat the Fremontcrs by 83,200. They may carry the State next month, but the hope of such a result is rather slender, as the Douglas men there will vote for Lincoln. This is the danger the union men have to fear in this State.

If this State does not go for the fusion ticket, it will be because the Douglasites go over to Lincoln en masse. The political ch wader of the localities where defections takes place, if they do take place, will prove this to be the fact. We still hope, however, that there are not enough traitors in the Douglas ranks, to carry out the treacherous desings of their vindictive leader. The Tribune is preparing the way for coming down easy after Tuesday next. It has stories of all Eorts about the cheating that is to be attempted at the polls.

Not less than two thousand men are to be imported from Philadelphia two houses have been taken for their accommodation, (only a thousand in each house,) the registry lists have been polluted with names of bogus voters, and worse than all a correspondent informs it that the Democrats are printing tickets on which Lincoln's name is spelled Abram instead of Abraham, and are supplying them to the Republicans. Of course, the people don't vote for Lincoln at all but for the electors who are pledged to choose him. We expect to see the Tribune party whipped on Wednesday morning next and that delect able Bheet will of course account for it by frauds bo gigantic that no man ever contemplated any thing like them unless when under the influence of nightmare.

Douglas' position is such as he may or may not act with the South, and hence we class him with neither. If Dr. Gwin is re elected, the Democrats and Conservatives will have thirty five instead of thirty four and if he is defeated, it will stand thus Democrats and Conservatives. 81 Republicans. 81 Mr.

The enthusiasm in this our most aristner.at.ir hood, took everybody by surprise. Those who have built up fortunes by their enterprise cannot uc jurgeum 01 me siaKe tney nave in the country and they will preserve it as it is. rom uiunon street the procession marched into Fulton; the sidewalks of our main thoroughfare was Crowded With ladies and 0 nt.7mnn nrtin from time to time, as the line passed, manifested consiaeraoie entnusiasm.

The members of the Union Leaeue and the Bell and Everett, ninha in the neat uniforms, attracted much attention, and "neir goon arm ana steady bearing elicited ap plause at several points of the line of march. Granada Hall, on Myrtle avenue, where the Rc publicans have their head quarters, was illuminated to the consternation 01 the adherents of Honest Abe, who feared that, like CaptainSmith's coon, he had come down before he was shot The fact was, that the Union men hired for the occasion the rooms over those occupied by the Republicans, and got up a very creditable illumination. The Republicans acknowledged the sell, and confessed that the Union boys had stolen a march upon them. The procession went up Myrtle avenue to Bedford avenue, through Bedford avenue to Fourth street, down Fourth to Grand, through Grand to Graham, and into Broadway, when the division east of Flushing avenue was dismissed. Not until the Western division reached the Eastern District was the absence of onr Williams burgh friends accounted for.

The New York del egations were expected 10 come ny tne Williams burgh ferries, and the Eastern District Division waited to escort them. They failed to come, and in waiting for them, they delayed so long that the Western division started without them. This mishap is much to be regretted, as the Eastern District turned out over 2,000 men; had both divisions marched together as was intended, the display would by odds have been the greatest ever seen in Brooklyn. As it was, it will strengthen the hopes of the conservative men of Kings County, that such a victory as they have never achieved awaits them on Tuesday next. Two accidents only, marred the otherwise complete success of the aiTair.

Oa DeKaib avenu? the horse of one of the aids or marshals, frightened by the firing of the cannon on Fort Greene threw its rider to the ground with some violence! No material damage being sustained, the gentlemen in question, after the lapse of a short time, was enabled to resume his duties. Not so fortunately, however, did a horse's running away in DeKaib avenue, near Carlton street, terminate We regret to Bay that three of the members of Stewart's fine band were knocked down by the frightened animal, one of whom it is. feared was iDjured seriously, and had to be conveyed to the Station house. The other two were much bruised and their drums ware badly damaged. The Procession in the Eastern District.

The Union Leagues and the different Ward Associations in Williameburgh turned oat in fine style last night, to join in tho parade. Union Leagues No. 1 and 2, in their beautiful uniform, attracted a good deal of attention; Grand street was thronged with spectators, and many of the buildings in that street were Uluminatod. A slight disappointment was experienced at not having the whole of the procession pass through that portion of the district. That portion of it that did favor the 'bnrgh with their presence were well worth looking at and were warmly welcomed.

This evening three democratic meetings will be held in the Eastern District, as an assurance to the people of the county that the people of tho "kingdom" are at work. To the Electors of Kings County. Feliow Citszens HavInB been Sunerlntendent of the Poorof the County of Kings for the past four years, and as mypmeexplreBon lhelnBtdayofthe present year, I think that tne duty devolves on me ai a citizen and a taxpayer to Bive the best Informal ion that I possess to the community at large. As the time is drawing near to elect two Superintendents of the Poor for the next three years, and as persona may be elected who possess no stability or judgment In the necessary oareful examination of the affairs of the County Buildings, and the dealing out of the temporary relief during the winter months, which will Increase the expenses 'to a larger amount than tney footed up some four years since, when I waa first elected, and which must necessarily Increase the taxes for the support of the poor. I would therefore recommend to the public the name of Jons J.

White, one of the nominees for that position, having been associated with me during the past three years, during which tlmel have always found him at his post, strict Jn attention to his duties, and to the saving and reduction of the expenses attending the County Buildings. And, I am inclined to tbe opinion that the most judicious way forthe public to prevent the increase of taxation is. to elect om man who la well acnualnted with the management of the public money, xr two new men are elected to commence their term at the period of the year when the giving out of temnorary relief commences. It maynotbe amissto remark, that the beatfof men, not experienced In the government of the affairs or this office, might expend such an amount as would upset the Working of the present system. In conclusion, I would say, that having presented a Dlaln and unvarnished statement to the cltlieus of Kingj County.

I will leave the matter to their own iudement, having satis fled myself that I have done nothing but my duty, as a citizen and tax payer of the County, in presenting my opinion In this manner. Respectfully yours, B. H. Booth, Sup't of the Poor. Progress Impossible The Goal Beached at a Bound.

We call this the afro of progress. It is so. But la ome departments ol' science, discoveries have been made and practical systems introduced, which leave nothing to be desired In tho way or Improvement, and which, In fact, preclude progress by giving ub perfection at the outset. For oxom Die, when Professor Hollo way, some twenty fivo years ago, gave to the world his Inestimable remedies, he soems to have left nothing oven for himself to achieve, in the treatment of human maladies. The pro ress of the demands for his Pills and Ointment has, in eed, been unparalcllod injtlio history of medicine but bo has found no reason to alter a single ingredient or vary a proportion.

Wo therefore claB tho sovereign, antidotes for external and internal diseases with which that distinguished medical reformer has blessed the world, among the Inventions which are perfected at their birth. Our method of arriving at a correct appreciation of the respective merits of opposing systems, Is by comparison. Now, wo have scon a great deal of what la called regular practice, and do not hesitate to say that It faili more frequently than It succeeds. This Is not tho case with Holloway's Pills and Ointment. In many instances some of which should bo cpeolfled If spaoe permitted we have seen these remedies effeot complete and permanent cures, when eminent momberB of the faculty had exhausted their repertoires without finding anything that would oven alleviate the agonies of their patients.

Testimony confirmatory of our own observations on the Bublect Is continually pouring in from all parta of tho Union, and we cannot refuse credence alike to our own senses, the common sense of tho public and the almost universal opinion of our brethren of the press. The case as between tho faculty and Professor Hollo way ocems to stand thus: The faculty have tho prestige of antiquity, authority and usage. Holloway, on the other hand, ia not a man of mouldy maxims. Small respect has he for Galen and gammon. Be oltes no authorities, anvc living witnesses and contemporary facts.

A few pages suffice, to develops his system and embrace his simple directions. lie denounces mercury and all corroslvo poisons, and does not believe that life can bo saved by draining Its fountains. Above all, he furnishes the whole civilized, and no small portion of thoemi barbarian and savage world, with a Pill nnd an Ointment, which appear to accomplish ail that the Faonlty aim at, but In flvo cases out of six fall to effoot.
