WASHINGTON, Oct. 10, 1874.
All, my dear BENNETT, thou art the prince Of
philosophers, and the greatest Of political arithme
ticlans! What are the statistics Of the Grand
Duke of Squash, which figure in the Tribune, or
the solemn speculations of the Rev. David Hale
in the Journal of Commerce, in comparison with
thy gay, philosophical, speculative, entertaining,
and conclusive observations upon the present posi-
ton of the great political parties of the day?
Iagree with you, most emphatically, that the
Empire State" decides the victory in the Union;
and that the :" "Imperlal City," as Daniel Webster
almost dared to call it, decides the victory in the
Empire State" l also fully agree with you that
the Native Americans hold the balance OF
power in the imperial city !" and, therefore, can
elect either Clay or Polk TO the Presidency-jus,
whichever they choose. This is a curious state Of
things be sure, TO see the great contest SO beau
tifslly narrowed down to such an agreeable and

well as delight, any profound philosopher. Neither
Newton nor Herchell could have been more
astonishingy delighted, delightedly astonishet,
at his discoveries, than you must have been a.

careful they ought to be in the government of their
mighty, and yet so nicely, balanced power.

TO be sure, was great and glorious undertaking,
which entities you TO all praise. But must 60 .

deavor TO show that the " Native Americans Of
your imperial city," by proper energy and pru
dsnce have il in their power, not only to elect the
President Of the United States, but, in all proba.
biliy, to elect the Speaker Of the House of Repre-.

favorable. The attendance was not so numerous
as might have been expected, but at the same time
very respectable. The first race announced was

close 10 each other to the half, which was per-
formed in SAT seconds Round the TOP they en-
creased their speed, but Regent had evidently no
chance Of taking the other. L was now 20 to 10
on the sorre, who led IN BIN. 5Sasec. by about SIX
lengths in front.
For the second heat they went off well together;
the betting as previous. Regent led up the quar-
ter. but notwithstanding it was now 100 to 70
against him, Eclipse gained on him at the halt,
which was accomplished in about 59a seconds
They kept well together round the top SO as to
defy telling from the stand which had the advan-
tage, but it was evident that Regent was not in fix

I'm. 57secs They kept in this position to the hall
for the second mile. Rounding the top, Gilpatrlck

DEAR OR -
In tie foot race, announced by Mr.. Browning,
TO come off within the ensuing two weeks it seems
TO me that an essential improvement In the cond-
tions of the race might be made in at least two in
Stances to wits that each man, after once starting
for the contest, should be LET entirely to his owl
management-strictly without the interference o
any friend or friends and that the termination OF
The race, the distance being whatever it may,
should be at the Judges stand, so that they may
be fully capacitated for any nice decision that may
arise. Yours, respectfully,

ITALIAN OPERA-We are now informed that the
Italian opera negotiation has been at last COM
pleted and that the troupe will appear at Palmo's
Theatre about the middle OF next month This is
the latest news Up to late hour last night no in
telgence had been received Of the dissolution OF
the new engagement, and it may therefore be still
regarded as intact. 1t is possible it may last day
or two longer We would not, however, like to
promise that it will not be broken before the week
is over. II, however, the arrangement continues
good, we presume that we shall have no concerts,
and no Italian music before the commencement OF
the regular season. This we regret, because we
had hoped to have heard before that time, Madame
Pico, Of whom SO much is said But il it must be
so-it must be so. We shall wait as patiently as
possible, until we have once more opera at Pal
mos.

The Falr-Last Day.

To-day is the last day of the Fair, after which
the old curiosity shop" will be clesed tor the
son, and as it is rumored that the proprietors-the
American Institute-are about to retire from busi
ness and ENJOY the fruits OF their successful specu
laton, smart management, it would be well for
all who are 80 disposed to catch parting glimpse
Of the "puffs, powders, and patches" before they
so hence.
There was benefit taken yesterday, at which
the Guinea Minstres'' performed in truly artis-
tical style. Sanguine hopes are entertained that
the execution displayed by him Of the banjo, Of the
tambo, and ofthe bone castanets will give fresh i'm
pulse to the generous rivalry Of artists in this
try. There's nothing like fine medals, that's fact,
and in the selection of the 'Guinea Minstres'' the
committee exhibited taste and judgment-of some
sort or another. But where's the money z that's
the question.

THK WHIas AND THE ABoLrTroNIsrs.-The war
OF the wings upon The aboitonlsts, and particular.
~ on Mr.. Birney, has been carried on hercely for
three or four weeks. The principal journals enga-
ged in this war have been the whg papers Of New
York and the 4aibany Evening Journal, with their
echoes throughout this State and New England.
For time they have ceased their furious attack
upon Mr.. Pek-hs grandfather reposes quietly in
his grave-and the locofocos are REGARDED almost
with quiet contempt. The whole of the whig pow
der and shot has been expended on the abolitoniss
and poor Mr. Birney.
We have endeavoredto to make some inquiry as to
the policy and success of this war-whether it will
not have the effect of increasing the obstinacy of
the abolitioniss, and stimulating them with still
more resolute support of their own candidate. The
result Of these inquiries leads to believe that this
pelicy Of the wings will prove extremely suicidal
to Mr.. Clay, and that the movement originally set
on foot by certain whig members of Congress, out
of spite against southern men, has put the fortunes
of the whig party into extreme peril and jeopardy
At the recent elections in Pennsylvania and Ohio
have seen the abolitonists increasing fearfully,
in Ohio in particular. In that State they have re-
duced the wing majority of some thousands to a
few hundreds. In this State they have 5000
votes, and when il is recollected that Harrison's
majority was $4,000, very proper estimate will
easily be formed Of the danger to be apprehended
from the aboltionists OF the imperial State in this
election. if they resolutely abide by their own can
didates.
The only wise course to have been adopted by
the wings in this critical emergency was that re.
commended by us to Thurlow Weed some time
ago. We advised him and the wings to barter their
own local ticket in the abolition counties for the
abolition vote in favor of Mr.. Clay. That advice
was disregarded. If Mr.. Clay be defeated, he may
ascribe his defeat entirely to Mr.. Slade and Mr..
Giddings, and those other friends Of his, who in
the House Of Representatives commenced the agi-
tation about the right Of petition, and thereby
organized this abolition party which now presents
such an imposing and alarming 'front.' Nothing
but skilful direction of the s'Native' movement
can now save Mr.. Clay in the States of New York
and Philadelphia.
The New York herald., 1844-10-26

The EMPIRE CLUB What is the difficulty be-
tween the whig newspapers and the Empire Club
Every row-every riot-every offence that is per-
peirated-is attributed to the Empires. They are
called thieves, robbers, murderers, plck-pockets,
felons, and the lowest and worst Of Williams. We
know nothing Of this club, but surely there must
be some decent men among them-and il 30, why
such indiscriminate denunciations. We have al
ways disapproved the organization of political
clubs but the wings certainly the first to set
the bad example Of organizing them. We are
much afraid the wings are preparing chalice that
will be returned to their own lips.

FROM the ElIOt

The Convention Of Clay Clubs in this City to-
day has been Unexpectedly numerous. Although
d gathering of but two or three hundred had been
expected, and efforts made rather to keep down
than Increase the numte-s-State Organza-
ton being the only object-yet the large Metho-
dist Church has been crowded above and below,
all that could sit and great number standing |
think the whole number present was not far irom
1,0O0-say Eight Hundred at the lowest. In en-
thusiasm, confidence of success and devotion TO
business, this has been surpassed by no former
Convention We have had capital speaking
from J. A. SPENCER, DAWSON, BRooKs, BoGART
REYNOLDS, &c. but it has never interfered viii
business to delay ii moment. The Committee
have been in sess.on at the same time, and reporting
as fast as they were ready. Great good must come
of this gathering. We expect to adjourn in hall
