Judge Rockwell, Of the Kings county Court Of
Oyer and Terminer, yesterday, in his charge to the
Grand Jury stated his views the liqnor question.
In his opinion the statutory prohibition against
selling liquor in quantities of not less than five gal
Ions remains uurepeaed. So the liquor dealers Of
Kings county may look ont for hard times
The sales OF cotton yesterday were confined 10
about 8, 900 bales the market closing firm At Satur
days rates. Common grades Of -four closed at .
decline OF 12a cents per barrel. White Michigan
wheat sold at 50 65, add 1000 bushels Canada were
sold at private terms. Corn was firm, with fres
sales of Western mixed, m ade at full prices. Pro-
visions were generally firm, without sales OF mo
ment at onr quotations. Freights were dull and
engagements light.
The New Democratic Movement-Henry A.
Wise and Captain Isaiah Rynders.
On every hand we hear expressions Of sur
prise at the extraordinary character, comp0-
sition and proceedings of the Tammany Hall
jubilee the other light in honor Of the great
democratic victory in Virginia It was the
largest and the only successful fusion meeting
of the hard shells and soft shells, clam shells
and oy ster shells, white shells and blue shells,
since the ratification of Mr. Pierce's nomination
in 1852 But the most curious feature of this
last reunion was tbe absence of all our old
democratic leaders, excepting Captain Rynders
and John Cochrane; "and thereby hangs a
tale"
Plain every day straightforward democrats
very naturally inquire what is the meaning OF
this? Why was lot our jubilee enlivened by
the presence OF such men as Charles O'Conor,
James Brady, Francis B. Cutting, Mike Walsh,
John Van Buren, Benjamin F. Butler, Lorenzo
B. Shepard, Augustus Schell, John Nixon,
John A. Dix and George Bancroft? They
knew there was to be such q meeting-they
were invited to come. Why did they keep aloof?
The reason, we apprehend, is simple enough.
There was no plumber to be made out OF this
meeting no offices. 1t was purely empty
rejoicing over the success of democratic prin-
cples in Virginia. and nothing more. Hence
all those high and mighty democrats who are
forever in the foreground when Cabinet places, or
| foreign MISSIONS OF Custom Houses, or good
| fat judicial promotions are in the market,
| were non est on this occasion. They were,
perhaps at the Opera, or the theatres, or the ne
| gro mipstrels, OF some such pastime, when they
should have been upon the Tammanyplatform
Shrewd chaps, these staunch old wire-pullers for
| the spoils, nevertheless shrewd. How
could it be expected they would unnecessarily
lower themselves by mingling with the every
day democracy in Tammany Hall when there
was nothing to be made by it but an empty ad-
hesion to democratic principles? 1t will be
| time enough to mix in with them year hence,
| when the spoils of the next administration are
thrown into the scales and when our high
polished democratic aristoc,ats can't help con-
| sorting with the common people.
This is, perhaps. the reason why our dainty
democratic leaders we're not present at Tam
| many Hall the other evening. To be sure,
| Prince John Van Buren, wrote a passable letter
| to the brethren, and one or two others did the
same thing but except an up town distaste
against mingling with the " unterrifed" of the
lower wards, we cannot imagine why the great
guns of the democracy kept away from this
very interesting and fraternal celebration. And
what js the result? Captain Isaiah Rynders,
who had pluck enough and energy enough
| to get up this great movement, and to carry
it successfully through, as democratic reunion,
oses head ard shoulders above all these over
ME and fastidious democratic absentees, aud
stands side by side, foremost in the front rank
of this new democratic movement with Henry
A. Wise. Not only are Messrs. O'Conor,
Brady, Shepard, M'KeoD, Bancroft and COM
pany oveIshadowed, but Mr.. Pierce and his
Cabinet, and Buchanan, Cass, Douglas, Hunter
and all other outstanding aspirants for the
democratic succession, are thus eclipsed by
Wise and Rynders.
In this view, we propose an amendment to
our re, gent nomination of Mr.. Wise, 80 as to
make complete democratic ticket, to witt
For Pr sident-Governor Henry A. Wise, OF
Virginia.
For Vice President Captain Isaiah Rynders,
of New York.
and other Virginia journals, seconding our sug-
gestoDs in behalf of Mr.. Wise, to join us in
giving Captain Rynders lift to the second
place on the ticket. We think the two men
would make whole team. Look at them.
Mr.. Wise is an educated aud accomplished
man. He has had great experience in Congress
as a statesman, in South America as diplo-
mat, and las proved himself perfect Achilles
on the stump in the late Virginia campaign.
He is distinguished as powerful, learned
quick and pungent speaker caustic, merciless
and fatal to bis enemies. He cuts and thrusts
right and left, and delights in the hottest Of
| the fight.
Captain Rynders, in his peculiar line, is
much the came sort of man. He may not have
