round and give its adhesion to Fremont, as
also has the New York Courier and Enquirer,
| Whig,, and the Eceaiag Post Democratic, all
Wall street journals and under Wall street in
| huence. We thus see the extraordinary spec.
! tacle of James Watson Webb, James Gordon
Bennett, William G.. Bryant, and Horace
Greeley, men who have no one principle in
common, fighting under a common banner to
attain common obect-the elevation of John
G. Fremont to the Presidency
With these Wall street brokers and Wall
street editors principle is nothing-money is
everything. The dollar is the god Of their
idolatry. They are ready to support any body
for the Presidency whom they think they can
use to advance their own selfish ends. They
care nothing whether man is pro.savery or
antislavery, pro Nebraska or anti-Nebraska, if
he will promise to go for Wall street interests
and use his influence to have Wall street drafts
upon the Treasury honored. If George Law
had been nominated by the "Amercan" Con
vention, Fremont would not have been in the
field. Fremont has been nominated, and we
see that Law is for him. If he is elected he
will be the President of the gamblers, stock
jobbers and spectators who make New York
their headquarters. The Treasury will be bled
profusely to satisfy the desires of these cormo-
rants. Like the daughters of the horse leech,
their constant cry will be "give! give!'' till the
Treasury is exhausted.
The John Street Church Troubles In New
York-Further Particulars.
We have heretofore given some account of
the trouble in the old John M. L. church, in
New York, between two parties of the trustees
and members-one iavoring removal up town
and the other opposing it. The Tribune of
Saturday gives the following account of another
disgraceful scene growing out of the dispute:-
Baltimore Sun.
Late in the afternoon of yesterday a constable
named Thompson, as we are informed, with a
posse Of men, ten or twelve in number, (rowdes
10 all appearance,) appeared at the edifce and
made desperate attempt to gain possession.
The rowdes, after breaking some windows,
effected an entrance but for brief period only.
The down-towRers hearing of the difficulty soon
rallied, and together with about two hundred
sympathisers gathered aboutthe edifce, resolved
at all hazards to expel the intruders, and pro-
tect the venerable sanctuary in which their
fathers had worshiped.
From appearances everything bad been ar
ranged by the up-towners to secure their end.
large number of timbers had been brought in
front Of the building by this party for the pur-
pose of barricading the doors and windows after
they should have obtained possession. About
this time mayor Wood, having been informed of
the proceeding, and that riot was likely to
ensue, detailed police force to preserve order.
Captain Leonard, with large force Of men
under his command, were soon on the ground.
The excitement, at this time, Notwithstanding
the presence Of the police force, was very great
The down-towners having gained possession of
the main gateway, forced the front doors to the
building, which were stoutly protected by the
rowdies, who had effected their ingress as be-
fore stated. The police then forced their way
through the crowd to the door, when the party
inside, fearful of the consequences, made
hasty retreat and succeeded in escaping in the
confusion of the moment. Some of these row.
dies in their exit, were severely handled by
the police, upon whom they attempted an as
sault.
The crowd, which now had increased to
nearly one thousand persons, was speedily dis
persed by the police, leaving the church in
possession of the downtown party. Thomp-
son, who headed the gang who thus ruthlessy
attempted to invade a sanctuary dedicated to
divine worship, was Kissed by the crowd, who
were universal in their condemnation Of such
an act. He and his gang, who, it is stated
were employed by the uptown party, finding
all attempts to obtain possession forcibly Of the
edifce unavailing, left the ground, taking with
them the timbers they had brought TO barri
cade the doors in the event of their sue
cess.
