In consequence.of the great mass of the whig
clubs having turned out with the Knickerbock.
ers" in the afternoon, the muster in National Hall
to respond to the nomination of Mr.. Williams was
not SO large as had been anticipated. The Hall
not quite filled, and there was but little enthu-
siasm. The principal speaker was Mr. Hugh Max
well, and the burden of his speech was eulogy Of
Mr.. Clay, and a not very complimentary examin-
alton of Mr. Polk's merits
Professions in the strees-snging at the club
rooms-and rows in the oyster-cellers are now so
completely the order Of the day, that these mass
meetings attract but little attention, unless the pre-.
sence of seine great orator gives them interest.

MILLERIsM AND MoRMoNIsM. Mormon
ism absorbs the public attention on the banks Of
the Mississippi Millerism is beginning to attract a
good deal Of laughabe and piiable attention on
the banks of the Hudson. The Millerites are now
determined to have end to the world at once,
and from number Of documents issued by these
amiable fanatics which we have received, it seems
that the last day" is positively set down for
the twenty second Of this month, although posi-
bly, it may be on the twenty.third. In the mean
time, the excitement and fanatcism are increasing
to fearful extent and some OF the strangsst scenes
ever recorded in the annals Of superstiious enthu
sasm are daily taking place. Ofthese we may give
an account hereafter. Milerism, however, has not
the elements of vitality possessed by Mormonism.
Its period cannot be protracted beyond the twen-
ty. second of the present month, when these de.
luded people will be brought to their senses. But
Mormonism has singular spirit of conquest and
life that may yet surprise the world.

opinion upon its merits, the best that has ever been

presents complete exposition Of each division Of
the subject. 1t is reprinted from the London edi-

discussions are not closely confined TO Anatomy,
but present also great fund of information in
connexon with Physiology and Pathology. Its
great merits and the very low price for which is
sold, will doubtless procure it place in the library
of every physician and surgeon who feels an in.

The betting some weeks previous to the race
was all in favor OF Stannard and Gllders against
any other two named; even that the ten miles
would be performed within the hour; 3 to thai
lOl miles would not be performed within the hour
day or two previous to the race. The odds were
SO to 100 that Glider would perform the ten miles
within the hour; even that the three Englishmen,
Greenhalgh, Jackson, and Barlow, would take two
purses; so to 100 on Stannard; even that stannard
would perform the ten miles within the hour; 100
to 80 that Stannard would beat Glider I; 100 to 80
on the field against any one.
On the evening previous, and the morning of the
race, the Englshmen had advanced in favor, and
Jackson was taken tn considerable amount
against Gilders; the three Englishmen against any
other three singly or collectively; to on the
field against any one; Stannard appeared to BE-
completely in the shade as to betting, and there
was every appearance iof edging off early bets
On the ground the betting was very similar to the
latter part of the betting Of the day before.
In the meanwhile the several competitors were
dressing and otherwise preparing for the start in

Militia TRAINING.-lt is indeed remarkable,
that, although the ridiculous system Of militia
training is universally felt to be oppressive, and
absurd in the EXTREMIST degree, yet welldirected
general effort is made to abolish it for ever. The
volunteer uniformed military companies of the city,
are highly meritorious and creditable to the coun-
try; but this nonsensical militia. training, forcing
people who have neither taste nor time for such
business, TO drill, or, in default, subjectng them to
all sorts Of annoyance and imposition at the hands
OF the militia fine collectors, is an ntoerabe nui-
sance The whole thing reflects disgrace on the
country, and serves only the vanity and dissipation

THE aBLACK TARIFF"

The following paragraphs indicate the manner
in which the odious black tariff is grinding the
agricultural interests Of the country:
It is said that not less than 100000 lbs. wool
have been purchased IN Akron Ohio, this season,
at an average cash price of 81 cents Last wear
the price was % cents-a gain of $4,000 to our
farmers. In 194l there was no wool market
there thus far at least $4,000 have been paid
out for wool. Z .f
Nearly 5000 bales, or 1,l23,5O0 lbs, of Ameri-
can hemp were received at Boston from New Or
leans during the SIX months ending on the lst inst.
And it appears by the following, from the Bal
timore American, that the mining interests, and
of course, the farmers who supply the miners
with agricultural products, are subjected to the
same disastrous consequences:
MARYLAND RAILROAD IRoN-We were not
aware Ut the fact until we saw it mentioned in
the New York Tribune, that the Mount Savage
Iron Company, of Allegany county had recently
made contract to furnish the Fall River Rail-
road Company, of Massachusetts, with 1000 tons
of iron rails of the best quality, at $50 per ton,
delivered at Fall river. This is said to be lower
price than the last quotations in Wales would
make it cost

A NEW IDEA.

The Madisonian of Wednesday contains an ar
tcle of some length, the object of which is to
show that the tariff of 1912 is a Democratic, and
not, as has been asserted a Wing measure. That
paper being the exponent of the Executive mind,
it may be set down for granted that Captain Ty-
Ter goes the tariff figure to the highest protective
mark. The Captain has all sorts Of principles
for all sorts of people. To the free traders he
offers Texas-to the tariffites he gives carte
blanche in the way of protection. To the tobac.
co raisers he gives the Zoll Verein treaty. Blu,
it is little unfortunate that the Captain will not
be able to pay Peter without robbng Paul. In
adopting the Zoll Verein treaty, he will have to
cut such slice out of the tariff as will perfectly
dumfound his tariff friends. That is the mischief
II the Captain, who is most sagacious and
ingenious man per Sc, could devise plan by
which the Germans, and all other nations who
think proper to come into the arrangement, could
enjoy free trade with us, while our own peopls
could be protected against them, there is very lit
tie doubt that the Captain would be made man
and if upon such terms he could not be elected
President, he might nevertheless turn his inven-
ton to account by taking out patent in some
form, we don't, of course, know what He would
doubtless be able to teach the art of holding
ones self out of the window by the seat of the
breeches, besides number of minor accomplish
ments which the students of Newton's Principal
have generally supposed to be impossible.

state that Santa Anna has sent orders to Gen.

that the armistlce with Texas is at an end, and
that hostiliies are to be Immediately recommends
ed with vgor Report has it that Santa Anna
has ordered Gen. VOL to advance on Texas. He
had called upon Congress to furnish him with
10000 men and $4OOO,OOO, wherewith to re-
commence the war against Texas. Gen Reyes
has been appointed Minister Of War and Marine
in place of Torne, and Gen. Gomez de Ia Cor

army destined to operate against Texas. Tie
