THE YELLOW FEvER.-Alarmists are at work
already promising US the yellow fever this
summer. 1t is well that people should know
this is the merest trash. Whatever be the truth
Of the question Of contagion, it lie certain that
yellow fever cannot live without constant
supply of masms, which, thank God, it cannot
get here. II never prevails as an epidemic out
of places in whose vicinity there are swamps
or fetid pools, or other stagnant water, which
the fierce dog day sun evaporates. In olden
time, when the yellow fever ragged here, the
Collect existed; Beekman street was sluggish
stream, with occasional pools; Broad street
was swampy arm of the sea; there was
marsh at Canal street and beyond; plenty OF
room everywhere for yellow fever. All these
have disappeared now, and with them all
chance Of yellow fever.

We learn that Mr.. Erastus Brooks Yesterday re-
ceived the nomination of the Fillmore Know-Noth-
ngs for the Office of Governor Of this State and that
this honor was bestowed upon him by acclamation
and without the formaty of ballot. We receive
this announcement with satisfaction. 1t is an hon.
est and proper nomination-as fit, indeed as that
of Fernando Wood to be the candidate OF the Dor.
der-Rufian Democracy for the Mayoralty of New
York The candidate represents the principles,
practices, purposes, character and nature of the
party. Those who cherish and supper. the one,
ought, by every law of consistency, to love and en-
brace the other. Brooks embodies the beauties,
veracities, decencies, and other strong points Of
slave-breedng and slave-caching "Americanism,"
and that glorious party secs itself i&trated by
Brooks 1t is thing that political organiza-
tions find it practicable to choose their typical men
to bear their standards in such electoral contests as
the present; and the public thanks arc due to the
Rochester Convention for thus setting up a candi-
date about whose antecedents, principles, and asp-
rotOns there is no room for doubt.
MIR. Brooks has one decided advantage over Mr.
Fillmore: ii is not likely that the President of the
Convention that has distinguished itself by his
nomination will be led by reflection and conviction
TO repudiate him. and vote for one of his opponents.
From that blow to the heart Mr. Brooks is happily
sacura

Mr. BURIINcAME will address mass meeting at
Union Square this evening. As he could only be
heard once in the city, the Fifteenth Ward Club
and the Central Club, before both of which he was
expected to speak, have united for the purpose of
holding this meeting 1t will be one Of the largest
ever witnessed in New-YOrk. There is, perhaps,
no other man in the country who can attract such
throng Of auditors.
Mr.. Speaker BANKS will also be here to address
the public of New-York in Wall street tomorrow,
but at what place We have not learned. An appli-
cation for permission to use the steps of the Ex-
change for the purpose tomorrow afternoon, was
refused by the official having control of that edce,
he not liking the doctrines proposed to be set forth
Perhaps he will think better of it after the 4th OF

A few DAYS hence, the Fremont electors OF our city
will be called to meet in their several Wards and
choose Delegates to County, Judicial Congressional
and Assembly Conventions for the selection OF cand
dates to be supported at our State and
Election. Our Central Committee has wisely de-
cided, in view of the jubilee to rowdyism, pipe
having and general villainy afforded by what are
called Primary Meetings, to confine the voting on
this occasion to persons who have seen ut 10
enroll themselves as members of the regular Repub
Gcan Associations of their respective Wards, and
we trust this rule will be rigidly enforced.
Now, fellow Republicans, you will naturally wish
70 have voice in the selection of your local candl-
dstes-at all events, it is your duty to see that
good men are selected. Will you not, therefore,
resolve to enter your names and residences as men,
hers Of your Ward Association at oncel 1t costs
nothing binds you TO nothing, beyond good faith
in the act of joining the Association. Do not let
the week close without having thus enrolled your.
selves; and blame no one else if, through your own
negligence, you should find yourselves debarred
from voting at the Ward meetings.

Washington and their hackers in this city and in
New England pretended to believe that the Union
was in danger, as an excuse to their constituents
for voting for the Compromise. And so in many
other cases But in their secret souls and in their
secret chambers they laughed the idea Of the slave
holders daring to dissolve the Union to scorn. 1t
was because our public men of those days were not
in earnest in their opposition to the Slave Power
that they employed this excuse for their treachery
to the North. Now that they mean what they say
they regard these vaporing threats no more than
they would the menaces of the town paupers to
withdraw and set up for themselves. And the
duct themselves accordingly, the less they will make
fools Of Themselves

There are in South Carolina and the adjacent
States two knds of dsuniOnists-One, including the
old.fashioped nufers, that goes for notification BY
each State separately on its own hook, and another
that goes for what they call cooperation that Is
TO say. union of all the Southern States they can
get in the work of disuruon, which these " CO.
operators" judicousy esteem too doubtful ana dan
perous an enterprise TO be entered upon BY any IN
dividusl State.
Bully Brooks of South Carohna-who has rem
dered that unfortunate name as infamous for sneak
ing brutality as some other Brookses nearer home
have for sneaking SANDER and lOw-lved falsehOoas
-professes himself in all his speeches TO be DIS
unionst of the cooperative sort. Indeed, one might
have supposed as much. In his assault upon MIR.
Sumner, in terror of that gentleman's supposed
superior physical strength he not only attacked by
surprise and at disadvantage, but took care to have
two cooperating" brothers stationed close BY so
MS to aid him if necessary.
The dsunionist opposition to Fremont-for ooth
the Buccaneers and the Fillmoreans give out that
if Fremont il elected the Union will be dissolved
seems to be, like Bully Brooks, of the "coopera-
tive" school, They play into each others hands
beautifully that is for the Buchaneers'
who are to get all the meat, while the poor Fill
moreans are obliged to put up with the shells. IL
is a consolation, no doubt, to that rapidly-dlmn'
shing party to have the ''cooperatlon " OF the
Buchaseers in filling up the halls and other places
of meeting which they are unable to fill themselves;
to round cut their few squeakng voices into some
thing that sounds like cheer, and to help them IN
those adventurous enterprises of stealing and mutt
lsting Fremont banners, in which they take such
delight; but as the whole Fillmore movement
inures, and inures only to give the BUCCANEERS
something which they think looks like chance,
and the only chance they have, of getting plurality
in one or two of the Free States, they have ample
reason to be satisfied with the working of the CO
operative system.

"To what base uses' men may be turned or
may apply themselves, was never more strkingly
illustrated than in tho present attitude of those
Northern politicians who invest themselves with the
title of old-ne Wings" Many of these, who are
row affecting to dcpore the breaking up of the
Wing party had themselves repeatedly conspired
TO defeat and destroy it, especially in the last Presi
dental election and had finally deserted it and ST.
cretlv enlisted in the Nothing crusade against
it, L,.orc it was given over as past praying for by
the steadfast phalanx they had so often deceived
and betrayed. While We supported a clean Wing
ticket in 1854 they went in for Ullmann, ScrOggs
and Saunders, and for electng to Congress such ex
emplifcations of Wing principles as Whitney Walk
and John Williams. And they are this day sup
porting Andrew Jackson DOnelson, who in 1874
proclaimed that Linn Boyd had not only charged
Henry Clay with base and corrupt bargain with
Adams, but had prOred it. And yet they reprOach
the Wing Republicans deserters from the Wing
party
But the question of Slavery Extension is that on
which their apostasy is most shameless and unde-
niable. From 1S43 down to its final disruption and
dissolution, positive resistance to Slavery Extension
was one of the most cherished and cardinal princi-
ples of the Northern Wing party. Daniel Webster
proclaimed it dictate of conscience and religion in
his Niblos Garden speech at even an earlier day.
All through the stirring canyasses of 1874 aud lSis

era of his speeches and published more, aud re-
sistance to Slavery Observation-Disclosures to the
death-was his war.cry. We saw the Hon. Rufus
Choate, at Springfield Mass, in 1874, split his

yehemence of his inycctiye against Slavery az.
grcssion, as evnced in the Texas business. Re-

Slavery should not be cxtended-repeatedly have
We voted for him TO secure that end When Frank
Granger Il Co. bolted from the Wing State Con-
yention which nominated Mr.. Hunt for Governor in
1850. they tried to educe from him some expression
of sympathy for their Union-sayng pretenses, and
were rebuked BY him in manly and pungent letter.
The platform on which he was nominated differed
little from that now occupied by the Republicans;
Yet Mr. Hunt apprehended no evil consequences to
