CITY, Two o'CLoc, The Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday closed With more animation, and prices of all descriptions Were very firm. The sales were estimatcd at 15,000 bales, 2,000 of which were taken by ex- Porters, aid 6,000 by the speculators. The Railway Share Market was very active. The weekly trade report from Paris states that the restrictions of the Bank in refusing to discount commercial paper over 60 days, continue to depress mercantile transactions, and business which had been previously dull is now still more so, and is felt very much at this time of the year, when the preparations for the winter season generally create activity amongst the manufacturers and retailers. In this state of affairs the merchants of Paris have Signed a document addressed to the directors of the Bank, requesting them at the very earliest opportunity to re-establish the measure of discount ing bills at 90 days. The effects of this resolution of the Bank act more directly on the operations of the manufacturers and retailers. The one has in consequence to limit the production of his works, and the other abstains from new purchases until the bank establishes the ordinary terms of dis count. Orders for merchandise from the United States and South America continue to arrive, but there is almost nothing doing with England and the Continental States. The monetary crisis throughout Europe appears to have restrained all commercial operations with France. At last the stringency of the money markets has caused a decline in the prices of silks, both raw and manu factured ; and this is likely to continue, as there are many of the speculators in this article realising on their operations. The intelligence brought from America by the Canada mentions that the advices received out relative to the increa , :iing tightness of the English and continental money markets had given some dis couragement to the stock operations in New York, and the quotations of State Securities and Railway 25 Bonds had consequently ruled heavy. There was 25 an active demand for money, and the confident expectation of continued large exports of specie to 10 this Country, in discharge of a heavy balance of 10 trade, precluded the hope of any immediate relaxa tion. For mercantile purposes also, as usual at that season of the year, the inquiry for accommo dat•on 'vas increasing. LatrJr accounts have been received by this oppor tunity from California. These are generally taYourable, especially with regard to the progress 4) f good mining. Trade also appears to have greatly Iniproved. The exports of the precious metals last week amounted to 536,0001., including the sum on board th e Indus, which leaves Southampton to-day for tars and Chi na . Th e f o ll ow i ng are the particu of the quantity taken out by this vessel : Alexandria, gold £l,Boo Bombay, s il ver 193981 Ceylon, gold 5,300 Madras, silver ~ gold Calcutta, silver Total £502,091 Private advices received from Paris this morn ing report a slight change for the better in tbe general a s p ec t o f monetary a ff a i rs, although t he pressure for discount accommodation is still severe. It is evident that a more cheerful fee ling prevails, which, supposing the crisis to have reached its height, will do much to accelerate restoration of confidence. Hoarding is not being earned on to such an extent as previously, the s peculative demand for silver, owing to the inter ference of the Government, is checked, and the extended coinage of gold pieces, have all tended to Calm the feelings of apprehension which of late have been so loudly expressed. With regard 'fro the Money Market here no material change 18 noticeable, but at the same time it may be re marked that the inquiry, both at the Bank of England and in Lombard street, is rather less active. No alteration has occurred in the rates, but many are of opinion that the Directors will speedily renew their advances on Government securities. Although the transactions in the market for public securities to-day have not been very nu merous there is an improved feeling and an ad vance of about per .ent. has taken place. Some anxiety is manifested to ascertain whether the Bank of England directors will renew advances on stock. If this were resolved Upon there can be no doubt but that a further ma terial improvement would ensue. Consols for transfer have been 911 to 92, and 92 to 921. For the account business has been done at 9241, 92 i 1 but they have since been 92± j. At the present moment they are 911 92 and 921 1. The /few Three per Cents. are marked 911 1 b, and the Reduced 91 to 911. Bank Stock is firmer, viz., 211 to 213. Exchequer Bills are ls. better, viz., 3 s. to Os. premium, and the Bonds are 9881. The Market for Foreign Securities is also more buoyant, and Turkish 6 per Cents., recently so touch depressed, have exhibited a decidedly up- Ward tendency. Brazilian 5 per Cents. for the account rule steady at 991, Danish 3 per Cents. being 83 t o 84. M ex i can h ave also improved, be ing quoted 21l and 21/.

There was a fair ave rage business doing in barley and most other kinds of spring corn, at full quotations. The flour trade was rather dull. No material change has taken place in the value of grain in the Continental markets. From New York, we learn that large quantities of wheat continued to be taken for shipment to this country. Very moderate supplies of home-grown produce were received up to our market last week. The imports from abroad were 14,522 quarters of wheat, 5,345 barley, 25,4:39 oats, 1,473 beans, 459 pease, 585 linseed, 2,508 rapeseed, 870 sundry seeds, 92 sacks and 2,715 barrels of flour. The quantity of English wheat received fresh up to our market to-day, coastwise from Essox and Kent, was very moderate, arid a large portion of it was much out of con dition. The few selected samples on offer were in slow request, at prices about equal to those realised on Monday last. All other kinds met a dull sale, at ls. to 2s. per quarter lower. By land carriage very little wheat of home produce came to hand. There was about an average supply of foreign wheat in the market. For most descriptions we had a very inactive inquiry ; nevertheless, no quotable change took place in prices. Floating cargoes of grain were firm, and a steady business was transacted in them, at extreme rates. The show of barley was by no means extensive. Fine malting parcels wore scarce and in active request at very lUD prices. Grinding and distilling sorts ruled steady, at late rates. The malt trade was steady, at full quotations. Although the supply of both Irish and foreign oats was good, the oat trade ruled firm, and prices were well sup. ported. Both beans and peas were in short supply, and fair re. quest, at full quotations. Fine flour moved off steadily, at full prices ; but a' other kinds met a slow sale, at barely previous rates.

Several arrivals of very good foreign sheep have lately reached this market, and they have carried a large quan tity of internal fat. The beasts are certainly improving in quality, and the calves, from their extreme whiteness, are much in favour with the butchers. Fresh up from our own grazing districts there was ra ther an increased supply of beasts, compared with Monday last, but their general quality was by no m eans fi rs t• ra t e . Irish beasts came to hand in fair condition. Selected breeds were in moderate request, at pri ces qu it e equa l to those realised on this day se'nnight. Inferior descriptions met a dull sale, and, in some instances, the quotations ruled rather lower. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire we received 2,200 short horns ; from other parts ol England 400 of various breeds; and from Ireland 500 oxen. There were no arrivals from Scotland. For the time of year we were very moderately supplied with all breeds of sheep ; nevertheless, the mutton trade ruled heavy, at a decline in the quotations of 2d per 81bs. The top figure for Downs was 5s ; for half-breeds, 4s 10d per 811 x. The show of calves was limited, and the veal trade ruled steady, at 4d per 81bs. above last Monday's currency. The best calves realised 5s 4d per Sibs. Higher prices were realised for pigs ; but the domand for them was by no means active. IMPORTS INTO LONDON LAST WREN. From Beasts. Sheep. Lambs. Calves.

(Before Commissioners Goulburn and Holroyd.) DISPUTED ADJUDICATION.-•THE ROYAL BRITISH BANK, To-day was appointed for hearing arguments on the disputed adjudication in this case, of which two notices had been served, one on the part of the directors, and the other on the part of Colonel the Hon. John King ston Phipps, a shareholder. Mr. Gifford and Mr. Brown (instructed by Messrs. Linklater and Hackwood) appeared in support of the petition for adjudication. Mr. Bagley, with whom was Mr. Field, appeared on behalf of the directors disputing, viz., George Gillott, Richard Hurst, Richard Hartley Kennedy, Frederick Valiant, Edward and Isaiah Butt. Mr. Lewis appeared for Colonel Phipps. Mr. Sturgeon appeared on behalf of the Rev. Mr. Gile, a depositor for 2501. Mr. Chidley for Mr. Morrice and other creditors. Mr. Harding (Messrs. Harding and Pullen, the official managers) was also present. The Court was densely crowded. Mr. Giffard objected to Mr. Field being heard on behalf of a shareholder. Mr. Field contended a shareholder was entitled to be heard, as his interest and property was involved in the winding up of the concern, and referred to the 71st sec tion of the charter of the corporation. His Honour, Holroyd, in conferring with Mr. Com missioner Goulburn, said that they were of opinion that for this purpose they did not consider that a shareholder could be heard—four of the directors who had given notice to dispute stood in a position of a person who had been made bankrupt, and was therefore entitled to dispute the adjudication ; but any other person who felt aggrieved might present a petition to annul, that not having been done the shareholder could not be heard. The Court then proceeded to hear the evidence on which the adjudication had been made. The debt of the original petitioning being abandoned, another was substituted—that of Mr. Robertson, of Leonidas-terrace, Kent-road, creditor for 1,5001. on a drawing account, was then tendered. Their Honours were of opinion' at present that the debt had been made out, but at a future stage of the proceedings Mr. Bayley might urge any argument he thought necessary. The learned counsel, for the petitioners, said that as there was a contingency that the debt might be disputed they would add another. Mr. Maxwell, advertising agent, of Nicholas-court, Lombard-street. was then examined on a claim for a balance of 2,0001. This debt was also admitted. The case is likely to occupy the whole of the day. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.— (This Day. SOUTH WARS. EXTENSIYA ROBBERY BY A SERVANT.—Ann 4foore, a very respectable looking young girl, 15 years of age, was brought before Mr. Burcham, charged with stealing goods valued at 40/., the property of her mistress, Miss S. Buer, hosier, &c., Brighton. Mr. Lewis appeared for the prisoner. The prosecutrix stated that the prisoner, who is con nected with a good family, had been with her a short time on trial, with the view becoming an apprentice. But a week ago witness had some suspicion that she had been robbing her, and she told her of it.. The prisoner admitted having staleirstockings, silks, gloves, lace, &c., and made out a list ofgoods amounting to 401. 4e., which she had purloined. Witness then brought her up to London to her parents, whom she acquainted of the cir cumstances, and on Saturday she called iu the police and gave her into custody. A pair of gloves and a piece of silk were found on her, which witness identified as her property. In cross-examination by Mr. Lewis witness said that when the giri admitted having robbed her to a great extent, she asked her to make out a list of the articles and the prices. She did so of her own free will, and when they came up to London something was said by her father and mother about compromising the affair for 251. Witness did not oppose that, neither did she offer to accept it. That was a day or two before she was given into custody. Sergeant Turpin, 6 M,esaid he was sent for to take the prisoner into custody, and be received a pair of gloves from her mother, which Miss Buer identified. She was charged with stealing 50/. woi Lh of property, and there was nothing slid about compromising the felony in his presence. Mr. Lewis contended that the prisoner ought never to have been given, into custody, inasmuch as a confession was extracted from her under the promise of forgiveness, and an attempt to compromise the affair for 351. The father and mother of the girl considered that the sum was much beyond the defalcations ; and on their re fusing to pay that demand, she was given into custody. Inspector Mackenzie, who took the charge, stated that he heard Miss Baer say she was willing to compro mi-e the matter. That was stated in the station-houee. Mr. Burcham said that did not do away with the felony, as property was found on her. The robbery, if any, had been committed at Brighton, therefore, he should send her there for further examination. The prisoner was at once taken by Sergeant Turpin to Brighton. THAMES. STONE-THROWING AND A USEFUL WARNING.—George Benford, a boy aged 14, was brought before Mr. Sells charged with throwing stones in a public road. Several inhabitants, who are rate-payers of Stepney and corry on business in the Commercial-road, attended and complained of the dangerous practice of stone throwing. Many severe casualties bad happened, A stone came through a large pane of plate glass in the shop window of one of the deputation, and the mischiev ous urchin who threw it made his escape. A stone, thrown by a boy last week, struck a gentleman on the head and inflicted a severe wound. Neither persons nor property were safe, and missiles were flying about in all directions from morn to night. John Phillicam, a police constable, No. 383 K, stated that he saw the prisoner throw a stone at another boy in the Commercial-road, and it nar rowly escaped a shop window. There were a number of idle and mischievous boys constantly throwing stones. Mr. Selfe observed that the evil of stone throwing had become so very serious that strongand effective mea sures must be adopted to put down the dangerous prac• tice. A young gentleman who was being educated at Harrow was struck by a stone thrown in the street a few days ago, and was likely to loss one of his eyes. He seldom or ever left that court without observing boys throwing stones, regardless of the danger which attended such an abominable practice. He fined the prisoner 405., and in default of payment 14 days' imprisonment, and he gave warning that he should inflict the same penalty (the highest ho could award) in every similar case that was made out.

The report of the metal icholy and fatal accident that occurred 1 ast n:ght at the. Royal Surrey Gardens, fall particulars of which till be found i n another pare of our impr!ssion, spr , .!aii with the greatest raniditv throughout the meti:opolis in an incredibly, short period of time ; and, as is too often the case, with great exag gEration, and the - utmost horror and consternation prevailed, almost every fanaiiy who had any of their members absent fearing that they, - might have been induced to visit the Gardens to obtain a glimpse of a man who, by the eccentricity of his manner in the pulpit, the style of his oratory, and the peculiarity of his argureients, has. obtained so much notoriety. This morning the excitement in the neighbourhood of the Gardens was intense, and numbers flocked there to learn, if 134os:dole, some particulars of the frightful calamity, and to obtain a view of the grounds and the building. A large body of police was in possession of the grouneis and the avenues leading thereto ; and the curiosity if the public was checked by admission being refused to all except those connected with the establish. ment, and those who had actual bus;:ness there. The grounds, of course, show evident traces of the large assemblage of persons, and ',their precipitate re treat, hut NO far as the building is concerned the damage, with the exception of the broken rilass and balustrade of the stairs, is, comparatively speaaing, trifling. On making ii.quiries this morning in reliable quarters there is much reason to fear that the lamentable accidnit occurred from the vehement feeling entertained by certain persons agai ast the Rev. Mr. Spur geon, but that they contemplated such a frightful loss of life or such serious injury to members, no one can for a moment believe. True, however, it is that a number of persons were assembled to interrupt the proceedings ; and it has been stated that several bad stationed themselves in various parts of the building, and acted in a concerted measure in causing a disturb. ance, before the last interference on their part, which was the precursor of the fatal result. Mr. Superintendent Lund, Wpm was present from the commencement, awl witnessed the whole of the affair, states tbat, from the compact mass of persons in the body of the hall, and the excitement that prevailed, it would have been irepossiVe to have preserved, through. out the evening, that order necessary, under the cir -1 cuinstiances, and the cause of the assemblage, and th a t as soon as the first ebulition of feeling was displayed all hopes of a restoration to order was at an end. Ho attributes the result, to say the least of it, to the rash and inconsiderate conduct of three mon in the body of the hall who rose up, threw their arms in the air, and shouted "Fire." The effect of that ominous word, in a densely crowded auditory, was electrical, and in the hope of safety recourse was had to flight, which experience has ever proved is sure to lead to the most direful results, and the loss of life and mutilation of so many persons on the present occasion is but another proof of the folly of such rash and sudden conduct. The great rush, it appears, was at the western door, and in their eagerness to get out hundreds and thousands were thrown down and trampled on, but by the opportune 1 arrival of a strong body of police, and the cool and col lected manner of Superintendent Lund, whose conduct on this occasion cannot be too highly admired, so arranged and marshalled his force that to it is to be attributed the saving of many lives and much injury to others. He caused the police to concentrate in a firm body in front of the door, and by giving a temporary check to the immense body of persons who were pouring out like a " rush of mighty waters," as described by an eye witness, many of those who had been thrown down were able to regain their footing with only a few bruises. But the most strange and unaccount able conduct of all is the feelings which actuated several of Mr. Spurgeon's followers in the midst of this appalling and frightful catastrophe, and were it not that we had it on the undoubted authority of Mr. Superin• teudent Lund, we should be incredulous to the fact. At the same time that shrieks rent the air from women, children, and men, and all were seeking for safety in precipitate flight, the jingling of the begging-box was distinctly to be heard from a dozen different parts of the building, and the reason alleged, we were in. formed from another quarter, was that although an ac cident bad prevented the rev. gentlemen from preaching, the rent of the Music Hall must be paid, and in all probability a heavy demand would be made for repairs. The appearance of the body of the Music Hall as soon as the persons had left was of the most peculiar cbarac ter, from the incongruous mass of shawls, capes, bonnets, caps, hats, coats, Wellington boots, and other articles of wearing apparel, which have since been removed to Locke's-fields Station to be claimed by their respective owners. Such a calamitous occurrence has had a most dis tressing effect on the Rev. Mr. Spurgeon's family. The whole of them are suffering the greatest distress of mind from such an untoward occurrence, aad it is feared that the rev. gentleman's health and mind will be affected by it. He is labouring under such an alarming state of ex citement that we were informed to-day, on calling at his residence, No. 3, Bengal-place, New Kent-road, it had been found necessary to remove him to the country, and that in all probability a considerable period must elapse before the reverend gentleman will (if he ever can) resume his ministerial duties. At the police station at Locke's-fields, the police were engaged nearly the whole of the morning in giving an swers to numerous inquiries made by distant rel a ti ves of the dead and injured p ersons , and at the top of the street, emerging into the Walworth-road, a large crowd of persons had assembled to obtain a sight of the origi nators of the melancholy accident, whom it was stated in a morning contemporary, but after waiting a con siderable time their patience being exhausted they de parted, no person being sn custody, but it is hoped they will be discovered and, if possible, severely punished. An official survey of the building took place this morning, when the roof and other parts (the staircases excepted where the balustrade gave way) were found to be secure, and not the slightest indication of insecurity could be fount in any part. The following is the official list of persona killed and injured : At the dead-house, Newington Workhouse : Samuel Heard, 30 years of age, 8, Alie-street, Ber. mondsey New road, labourer. Mrs. Barlow, 19, Bath-street, London.road. The unfortunate deceased, who vvaa a married woman, and the mother of several children, was encieutc, anti when removed to the werkle , use she, as well al tile others, were promptly attended to by the surgeon. Seeing the state of the unfortunate woman, Mr. Henry Matthew, surgeon, of Walworth-road, and Mr. Otway, surgeon, of Canter bury-row, Newington-road, performed the Cm3areau operation, but unfortuately the mother and child had re ceived such injuries that killed both. Harriet Jounson, address unknown, but supposed to reside in the Westminster-road. Mrs. Elizabeth Mead, aged 43, of No. 7, Love-lane, Stock well. Harriett Matthews of Newington. The deceased's identity is doubtful. A young man has seen her and believes her to be his sister and that her name is Matthews, but the frightful appearance of the features prevents his positiv&y stating she is his sister. Her linen, however, is marked " M. H." The following persons, who were removed to their homes, are also dead :-- _ Grace Skipper, a servant in Dobson-terrace, Ken nington. John and Mary Aldis, man and wife, Mansion-house street, Kennington. The following were removed to their homes much in jured : Ellen Stanton, 5, Penton-grove. John Alwortb, 1, Russell•place, Old Kent-row'. - Eliza Fletcher, 24, Bath street ; rupture of blood vessel. llenry Sage, 17, Apollo-buildings, Westminster-road. Ellen GoAard, 1, James's-grove, single woman ; ribs broken. Sarah Bridges, 4, St. David's street. At Guy's Hospital : Thomas Peachy, 40, George-road, Bermondsey ; frac ture of the thigh. James Arkwright, 40, James-street, Long-acre; in jured thigh. George Lane, 33, Goswell-road, comminuted fracture of the r►ght arm. Margaret WeJton, 12, a little girl, who accom panied Mrs. Mead, of Stockwell, who was killed, slightly injured. Edward Whitnsll, 24, 3, Jobu'e-place, wound of the hand, and otherwise much injured. Mrs. Keeley, nurse of the hospital, injured isthe chest. . . we are happy to state, are progressing favourably. An invest will be opened in th e course of tomorrow,by Mr. Carter, on the bodies of those killed. His Excellency Count Kielenausegge, Hanoverian Ministerdet this Court, has arrived at Hanover, from his estates in Holstein. His Excellency, accompanied by the Countess Helene Kielmansegge, is expected to arrive in town this week to resume his diplomatic duties.

THE APPROAOIHNO PRESIDES TLIL ELEiTION. NEW York, Oct. 7,—Ae the day of election ap proaches the Republican journals begin to be filled with rumours of projected fraud from the opposing party, of which the folio wing, from yesterday's Tribiotc, may be taken as fa it specimens : " Preparations for enormous _frauds have been, made in view of the approaching e:eo -ion in Pennsylvania. This we intimated this other day, at el now have positive cla!a upon the subject. In Phila.dea,.ohia it appears that between 10,000 and 15,000 names ha ive been added to the extra assessment lists, mainly by th,e Border-Ruffian. Democracy. There are 4,000 in Miilward's district alone. We are informed that if the attert s pe is inside to carry it out on any such wholesale scale as .isr Threatened collisions at the polls cannot be prevented. The people of Pennsylvania will not submit with patience to Cahfor nia ballot-stuffing, or be barefacedly cheated out of their rights." . The friends of - Mr. Buchanan do not manifest much confidence in carrying Pennsylvania in the gubernatorial election next week, but speak boldly of their chances -in November. The States of Ohi-o, Indiana, and Pennsylvania are to vote next week- These elections will show how the public current is. running in those States. Virginia is just now the hotbed of American ' politics. The Democratic party there take the ground of disunion if Fremont is elected. I sent you last week some extracts froina speech of the Governorof the State made in Richmond, in reply to a remarkable speech from Mr. John M. Botts. The day after that letter was written another nul lification ex-Governor of that State spoke from the steps of the Merchant Exchan ge to some thousands of the democracy of New York, i n which he made use of the following language :-. "To resume the threw{ of wy discours e , you will - per ceive that under:these doctrines which th ey propose to adopt a convention should be called in any of the States, if it happen to suit th e a d vo c a tes of the hi g h er law doc trine, and overturn the existing Government. When you come to take these things in their connexion, there could not have been a more fearful precedent. To show how determined this sectional party were to carry out principles which would confiscate our property and die turb our domestic peace and tranquillity they bad nomi nated a candidate on the sectional platform. Fremont's letter of acceptance shows that he understood that, be cause he made a distinct allusion to the subject of this difference, in which they have endeavoured to get up civil strife in the bosom of the Slave States themselves, merely because that species of cause was unequally die tributed, co that we have a right to expect, if this party should get into power —we would have a right to expect from their Administration the whole power of this party would be used to get up stria within the Southern State, nut merely to set the black man against the white, but to sow Feeds of dissension among white men the., s)lve , . We know that in the Slave States they cannot effect any such purpose, for white men under stand the vital interests of the white race to preserve the existing relations of things. But this party would be willing to use their power, if it should be given them, to effect such a result. Suppose that they were to elect a President upon such prii c plea, and that they were to administer the Government in that way, where would the s,,eih be placed ? Do you suppose that they would agr. eto sacrifice their own constitutional rights ? Do you sups ode that they would remain in the Union ? Well di .I Mr. Fillmore ask of the citizens of the States who her they would suffer the Government to be admi nistered in any such a way. It wan an appeal made to the sense of justice of 10,000,000 of people in these United States. Could the south consent to remain in the Union in which the constitution was to be treated as null and void, so far as they were concerned ? It is utterly impossible that the Government should be ad ministered upon such principles without leading to the destruction of this Union. I want to ask you, northern men, whether there can be any consideration in the election of a sectional President, such as Fremont, to justify the north in imperilling such institutions as ma terially, politically, and socially affect the preservation of the Union ? Before doing that, permit nee to show you those doctrines upon which they are agitating the public mind and seeking to subvert the social system of the south would be as destructive at the north as at the south. I will show you that these doctrines can lead to nothing but anarchy everywhere. This higher law pro scribes the institution of slavery and nullifies the protec• tion of the constitution, because it violates that cardinal political maxim that all men were created equally." It is not the large southern slaveholders who make use of such rhodomontade, or, to use an Ameri canism, have not yet incorporated in the mother tongue such hyperlenten. Mr. John Minor Botts has effectively replied to all such sentiments—re plied, too, in the State of Virginia, and among slaveholders. His speech is worth reading as a specimen of manly out-speaking in a community opposed to him in sentiment, and particularly sore on the questions he attempts to discuss. It is the most remarkable document which the " cam paign." has yet produced ; and it is particularly re markable for the common sense view of things in the midst of ultraisua. Of the slavery question, which is agitating the country, he speaks distinctly. No northern re publican over used more explicit language than the following : Now, gentlemen, I want to tell you something about this question of slavery, and what I think about it, ( And, first of all, I want to tell you what is my own peeition upon it; and for that purpose I had better, as it has appeared alr ea d y i n pr i nt, and that there may be no ini.representation upon it, read what I have already said. These gentlemen have seen it, and I want them to see it again :—My position on the question of slavery is this, and so far from wishing to conceal it, I desire it should be known to all. Muzzles were made for dogs, and not for men, and no press and no party call put a muzzle on my mouth so long as I value my freedem. I make bold, then, to proclaim that I run no slavery propagandi,t. I will resort to all proper remedies to protect and defend slavery where it exists, but I will neither assist in nor encourage any attempt to force it upon a reluctant people anywhere, and still less will I justify the use of the military power of the coun try to estehlish it in any of the territories. If it finds its way there by legitimate means it is all well ; but never by force, through arty iastrumentality of mine. lam myself a iilaveholder, and all the property my children have in the world is slave property, inherited from their another ; and he who undertakes to connect my name or my opinions with abolitionism is either a knave or a fool, and sornetioies both. And this is the only answer I have tai make to them. I have not connected myself with any sectional party or sectional question ; and, so help rue God, I never will. That i= the only answer I have to make vou upon the position I occupy on the slavery questica. (lateens.) Why, gentlemen, there never was so arrant and s,o impudent a humbug—that was my expres sion—l will use it again—there never was so arrant and impude nt a humbug attempted to be pr ac ti se d upon the credulity of humanity as this question of slavery. Why, gent I e men, slavery is in no more danger than the coat I have on my back is of being taken away—not halt as much, because they talked about lynching me, I lnflieve, and yet I am net afraid of anybody taking my coat od ; nor am I afraid that any man in this State will dare lay the weight of his finger upon my coat. What will you expect the north to do ? They will resist the extension of slave territory, and they will resist the admie.ion of Slave States. As Mr. Seward truly said, the day cf e•mipromise hat passol away. Aye, and it has pa,isetl away by the judgment and decision of the Democratic perty, who are alone responsible. (Cheers.) Well, :low, how are they going to disturb slavery as it exists in the States ? Are they goin g to send an army down here to de so ? I don't understand by what pro cess they mean to du it. I will tell you where the dan ger ie. In your runaway slaves —an evil which has been greatly aggravated by the additional facilities of travel afforded by the railroads, and the greater intelli gence which the slaves acquire by increased intercourse through the same medium. Your remedy is to prevent them as best you can, and to puni s h an a b ductor wher ever you c an find him. There is another danger, and that is, by keeping the Democratic party in power. (Cheers.) Now, I will show you that if you expect that Fillmore or Buchanan will either help you to the exten sion of slave territory, or the admission of Slave Sates, you are mistaken. I say that all men at the north are opposed in the abstract and upon principle to the exten sion of slavery. They will not disturb it where it esists , . but they are no t going to help you for the extension o t `'lava territory. And why ? Because it helps to ra; ea-, soes you r p o l i ti ca l power against them. Why do yo n want an i ncrease o f s l ave territory ? Why do you.wast t 18, 19, or 20 Sl ave States instead of 15 ? Why,it not becau se you h ave not got land enough to occupyall the It slave labour at y our comman d . I t i s not i that.;it is is not b ecause y our li m i ts are circuinscrbe .d bsoause you want t o i ncrease th e political po wer of th e south, to g i ve h er a ddit iona l power in the Senate of th e United States. For the same reason it. It does n o t that you want it the north do n o t wan t you t o ex tend n the political increase the number of slaves, but i n creases Po'vt r, and for that reason the Well, now, if y ou ex pect on the o ther hand, th a t Fre ertb is opposed t o i t. ment, the Black Republican ca ndidate, is going t o cbs turb the institution of slavery y o u are mistak en .
