ARRIVAL OF THE NIAGARA.

Shortly after noon, yesterday, the Royal Mail
steam-ship Niagara, Capt. Leitch, which sailed
from Boston on the 10th, and Halifax on the 12th
inst., entered the Mersey. She brings 65 passen-
gers, the usual mails, and specie on freight amount-
ing to 497,923 dollars. •
The steam-ship Canadian arrived at Quebec on
the 9th, after a passage of 12 days,
By the Niagara we have four days later news, of
which the following is a synopsis:—
Our Washington advises do not contain any
intelligence of the least moment. The President
had left Washington, and was located at Warren-

town Springs. The papers were much occupied in
discussing the Presidential campaign. According
to the Southern papers, it would appear that Col.
Fremont is pretty certain of being the favourite
and successful competitor for the much-coveted
office. As they were busily discussing what the
South should do in the event of his election, the
New York Times says :—" The tone of our Southern
brethren is that of men who regard their defeat in
the present contest as certain, and are taking " Time
by the forelock," in discussing what they shall do
when the dreaded event ceases to he questionable.
If they would but look North, they might learn
a profitable lesson from the cheerfulness of the
Republicans, who are equally prepared for defeat
or success. If they elect their candidate, they will
do the best they can for the country; and, if they
should be defeated, they will re organise their
forces and try harder the next time. The thought
of rebellion to the regular constituted authorities
has not yet been formed this side of the Potomac;
hut it is quite otherwise " down South," where
disunion is the most familiar of household words,
though no one but South Carolina Brooks has, as
yet, openly announced any rebellious plan of pro-
ceeding."
According to the same paper the news from the
State of Main is more satisfactory than was antici-
pated, and left no doubt that the friends of Freedom
in that State had triumphed as gloriously as they
did in lowa and Vermont. The whole State
Ticket has been elected by the Republicans.
Hamlin has been elected Governor by a majority
of from ten to fifteen thousand. The Republicans
have also, it is thought, elected all their candidates
for Congress, and would have a strong majority in
the State Legislature. _ _ _ _

The Journal of Commerce, of the last date, Sept.
9th, contains the following :—There is to be a
grand torch-light procession and turn-out of the
various Democratic clubs and associations of this
city and vicinity, this evening. All the Wards will
be represented ; also Brooklyn, Staten Island,
Williamsburgh and Jersey City. An unusually
stirring time is expected. The Democrats of
Waterford, Saratoga county, had a tremendous
meeting last Friday evening. The largest hall in
