NEW YoRK, June 80, 1882.

/ opponents-peopIe who spared neither calumny
nor abuse of any kind to injure him, when canoi-
date for ofice-now share in the general grief, and
/ the voice of lamentaiion is heard everywhere.-
The news was received by telegraph, and spread
through the city with electric rapidity, sadness
diffusng itself over every countenance. The flags
of all the shipping in the port, well those
the hotels and public buildings, were Immediately
I lowered to half mast, as if by common understan-
ding. Never public sorrow more spontane-
! ously. more sincerely made manifest to- no man
since Washington, has ever become so deeply
rooted in the hearts Of his countrymen. The va
J rious Courts of course, promptly adjourned re-
ceipt Of the intelligence and every kind of public
honors will be paid TO the memory of the illustri
| Gus deceased. Among other demonstrations of
mourning there will no doubt be funeral pa
geant far exceeding anything of the kind ever seen
/ in America before.
1t is useless to conceal the fact that the nomi-
nation of General Scott was not at first received
with unanimous cordially, by the Wings of this
1 city The many ardent Webster and Fillmore
men felt sorely aggrieved; but little reflection
/ has much abated the feeling among them. They
are fast falling into the ranks; and in another
month"; they will be found working heartily to Sc
cure the election OF our candidates. The fact is,
! good and true Wings cannot cherish hostility, be-
cause their personal preferences have not been in
duged. No party organization can be sustained
if the minority do not co operate with the major
ity. All have their first choice; and the few must
yield to the many. Thank heaven. the Whigpar-
ty is based on principles of immutable political
truth, which cannot be overturned by am differ
ences of opinion as TO men.
From Pennsylvania and Ohio, we have the most
encouraging news; and it is conceded by the best
informed Democrats here that there is not the re-
motest doubt of those great states voting for SCoTr
and GRAHAM. In New York the contest viii be
close; but the result will be a Wing victory. 1t
was on our frontier that the old hero shed his
blood in repulsing the foreign invader, and we
shall not desert him now.
Senator Bell of Tennessee has been spending a
few days in this city for the benefit of his health,
he having over-tasked himself by his arduous la
bors at Washington. From him learn that there
need be no anxiety as 10 result in any Of the ster-
ling Wing States of the South-Kentucky, Ten
nessee, North Carolina, Louisiana Maryland, Del
aware--which are all sure
General Scott, as all the world knows, was not
the first choice of the above SIX states but he has
been regularly nominated and they will not fail
to support him. All the balderdash so industri-
ously circulated by the Locofoco papers about the
Generals being under the influence of Senator
Seward, &c, viii not deceive single Southern
Wing. They all know that such men as Senators
Mangum and Jones, and Messrs. Stanley. Bolts and
others would never have pressed his nomination,
if there had been any doubt of his fidelity to the
Constitution. If indeed there had been any reas-
enable doubt on the subject, it would have been
sufficiently set at rest BY his unequivocal pledge
that IN accepting the nomination, he accepts the
Wing platform. This well known high sense OF
personal honor precludes all suspicion of him. af-
ter such declaration.
All who have leisure and money are making
preparations TO flee from the city into the country:
and after the Fourth or July the fashionable quar-
tiers of the city viii appear deserted Such is the
influence of fashion, that those who cannot make
it convenient to 90 out OF town. will keep their
front doors locked, and blinds closed spiders will
be encouraged to spin webs across the doorway,
TO keep up the delusion and any one who calls
viii be told by Betty, the maid, that master and
mistress have gone into the country" while in
fact, perhaps, they are lounging in the back par
Tor, or dining on a salt mackerel, inferior pota-
toes, and weak tea, in the back basement
From one end of the city to the other, there is a
universal cry of ~Rowdyism y Unoffending citi-
zens, unprotected females, old and young are
daily and nightly made the victims of a rowdyism,
which unchecked and confident, holds our citizens
in terror, and brings disgrace on our city. But
Mayor Kingsland has at length seen the necessity
of taking some steps for the suppression of these
outrages, and has Just issued circular to the va
rious police captains ordering the number of the
daypolice to be increased to an equality with that
of the worthy guardians of the night" and init
mating that the slightest neglect of duty will be
promptly and severely punished This move
ment was much needed. Is il not infamous. that.
although we have nearly a thousand policemen.
TO preserve peace and to protect our persons lives
and property, yet, dssolute scoundres are nightly
perpetratng the boldest outrages with almost en-
tire IMMUNITY. We New Workers have much
cause 10 envy the peacefuIness Of the rural dis
tricts.

diums. and believers in the verify OF the alleged
I Spiritual Manifestations, is to be assembled at
Cleveland, Okio, on the 4th of July, which comes
on Sunday next Horace Greedy, Judge Edmonds
and several other distinguished "rappers, are ex-
pected to be present
A new steamboat route IS to be opened between
this city and Quebec. The boats viii touch at
