Interesting Inteliigence


 The following letter from well informed and intelligent gentleman now in Washington City, will be read with interest:
 NATIONAL DEM. EXEC RooMs,
 Washington, D. G. Sept p, '56. 10 he Editors of the N F. Duly Negs:
 notice in yesterdays issue of tn New York Herald 'leader' on the probable result of the Presidential election
 Having all the information which the na- tOnal committee possess: having had access to all thelr correspondence, I desire to say that mere Is not shadow of foundation for the conclusion of the Herad's leader.
 am satisfied that Fremont is "dead cock lh the plt,' beyond the hope of resurrection: and make this assertion upon better. more re. liable and truthful data than such paper. edi. ted by such man, could possibly obtain. I nave seen letters from every county and nearly every township, and 1 tell you, and through you the country that if there is truth in man Pennsylvania will cast her vote for the demo. cratic ticket in October next by ten to t,oeuu uo"sand majority. The majority in the Presi. oentlal election will more than double this. :, we nave advlces from Illinois which settle the question In our favor. One of our friends saw here to day, who says he will bet on IlIi- nois glvlng larger proportionate maioritv for the democratic ticket than any State in the Union. ''0 III '"o Bets are freely offered here on PennsvIva- nIa, New Jersey, on Illinois and Indiana and no takers. "''0 The Fremonters are badly frightened; as an evidence of this we hear that a letter was read at Woodstock, Vermont from Thadeus Ste Phens, of Pennsylvania, in which he sorrows over the certain defeat of the fllsonsts in that State And yet Speaker Banks says, that Pennsylvania Is as sure for Fremont as Massa- chusetts Bah What transparent brasgart ! dare Mr. B., or any of his friends, to bet on it. ne truth IS, in their desperation over the certainty of defeat the Fremonters are making "nlnnies' of themselves, and the Herald by fol. lowing the lead of Wood, Banks, Webb & Co.,, IS likely to be named in the same graniverous class of animals in which lie has so truthfulIv placed your fighting preacher Beecher. Our count here Is that the democrats are dead sure to carry the following States: Pennsylvania. New Jersey, Indiana, Illinois and Michigan, of the free States, and the vote of every southern State; this elects. But we go further, and con- hdently believe, from the present favorable turn oi events, that we shall carry Connecticut, New Hampshire, Ohio and Wisconsin. What saws the Herald to this? Will he bet on Pennsvl. vanla or Illinois, or Indiana, or New Jersey. and how much ? ONE WHO KNOWS

A TritOTcuS Set,

We give below, says the Louisiana Courier, the list of merchants of New York who ex- tended lately an invitation to address them to Nathaniel ?. Banks, the deeply-dyed black republican Speaker of the House of Represent tatives; man who, in the excited contest which preceded his election. said that he had not yet been able to determine which was the superior race-the white or the negro.
 In their invitation to this traitor, the men whose names are found below, say that they have viewed "with much interest and satisfac- ton, the conservative, concliatory and impar- tial course you (N. P. Banks) have pursued as Speaker" etc.
 We pin these crazy and fanatical negrophil- ists up before the indignant eyes of the south ern people. No merchant or trader in south ern State who shall hereafter buy from either of them yard of silk, or even tape, or who shall put into their pockets one single cent, by way of commission on sales or purchases, de serves the patronage of any man with southern blood in his vlens or with any of the pride of a X lt1t

keep 1t in good faith. But for the democratic party of the north, which has always been will
 ing to stand by the constitution and its com. promises, the south would never have gained any slave States under the Missouri compromise florlda and Texas would have been refused ,d. mission into the Union, because they recognized slavery in their constitution, but for the demo- cratic party at the north. Neither of them re. celved solitary vote from any other party at the north. The fugitive slave law only receiv- eu three votes from the north, outside of the democlatlc party, and therefore could not have been pee, passed but for that party The Kansas oili dld not receive vote from any other party at the north but the democratic party. It has not now single friend in that portion of the
 Onlon outside of the democratic party. At the south, where, upon its passage, it received the entire votes of all the parties, with the ex- ception of two in the Senate, and seven in the House of Representatives strange to say, the American and old line whig parties are now arrayed against it.
 This is now the only issue in the present campaign. Upon this issue 1 coincide fully as nave ever done with the position of the de- mocratlc party, and 1 believe it is the only party upon which the south can with safety rely ID the present crisis. l have never differ.
 III. question Is not in this canvass, or if it is it is walowed up and rendered comparatively in- significant in this great sectional contest in which we are now engaged. therefore return 10 the democratic party to throw what little weight may be able to control into the scale oi those who are fighting the battles of the constitution and the Union, and shall vote with great deal Of pleasure for their candidates, ames Buchanan and John c. Breckinrdge. have come to this conclusion after long and anxious dellberation, and with a solemn convic- ton ot my duty. 1 know that have nothing to gain by the course. Had 1 consulted my personal interest or ease, 1 should have remain ed where 1 was, with the American party Il know that in separating from that party, I am separating from most of my warmest and best friends-frends who have delighted to honor and sustain me. 1 owe them a debt of grati- tude which 1 would gladly repay by any per- sonal service could render them; but I can not, consistently with my conscience, with my sense of justice and of right, with my convic- tons of duty to my country and the south, consent to act with them in the present con test. l believe most of you are honest in the oplnlons you express and the principles you advocate l believe most of you are actuated oy patriotic purposes, and 1 ask that you ex- tend the like charity to me; but if this is deni- ed me, and my motives should be assailed and lmpugned, conscious recttude of pur- pose will sustain me amid all the anathemas that may be hurled against me. I now res pectfuly resign the Presidency of your club, gentlemen, and with my best wishes for your individual happiness and prosperity, am with great respect your friend and obedient ser want.

Yorktown, foreign fields of fame. Not to vo, is the valor of New Orleans less precious thar that of Chrystlers Fields or Bemis Flights
 Not to you are the men of Massachusetts 0, of Ohio countrymen and brothers any more than those of Virginia or Tennessee You al least will in the future, as you have in the past breast the storm of faction, blow when and whence It may You at least will scornfully relect every false idol of sectional prejudice to whlch misguided men may call upon you to DOW down and worship, and will adhere-un- waVerlngly adhere-to the sublime creed

Men such as von c.n no yer cease to cherish the Union and the ConSt;- tuton and to cultivate that nationality of sen tlment that fraternal regard for fellowcoun- trymen of other States, without which the Union cannot subsist nor the constitution en- dure. Such sentiment only can preserve us from those calamities of civil war and political anarchy or tyranny which destroyed the ancient republics, and which now prevail in those of South America God in his mercy, grant that no such calamity may ever beiall our beloved country
 Tn conclusion, renew the expression of my thanks to you all, and that should a kind Pro- vldence spare my life through few more months of laborious employment in the public service l shall find myself at home again. one of your number, to rejoice in your prosperity, and to give my quick sympathy in any hour of tnal or sorrow which may await you.

sli. I'll AR

Departed this life at Charleston. Arkansas on the morning of the 9th Oct, 1856 MARY OPHELIA, daughter of H. Hand and Martha A. Richardson, aged years, 5 months, and IS days.
 The deceased was born at Monroe. Walton county, Georgia, April 18th, 1852, and came With her parents to Arkansas in 1855 In the death of this interesting little gll we are forci- ply reminded "what shadows we are, and what shadows we pursue" A few short days ago our young friend moved among us in all the joyous ganbols of childhood-the pride of fond father and idol of loving mother. But alas! how changed; death the unsuitable monster claimed her for his own, and with his cold icy hand dimmed that eye of payfuluess and chilled that heart of innocence and laid our young friend low in the land of silence, while with heavy heart we can only say good bye Ophelia, and with the poet excam ''Oh what 4 shadow o'er the heart is flung
 hen peais the requiem of the loved and youngn Yet thou art gone to the spirit land, the realms of the blessed; and though the shroud, the cof- fin, the tomb speak in mute eloquence of the void which is made, thou art far better off, and we humbly bow to the will of God May the sod press gently on thy breast, and the grass grow green oer thy grave.

 The extent and imminency of the danger which now threatens our beloved Union may Tn part be inferred from all or nearly all, those distinguished leaders of the opposition with whom we have hitherto had to contend on ques- tons solely confined to the foreign and domes- tic policy of the government are now nobly rallying, with patriotic dovoton under the standard of that party whose motto has ever been, "The Union, the constitution. and the equal rights of the States" To the names oi Toomhs and Stephens, and Benjamin and ones and Pearce and Pratt, and Clngman and Ran dall, and Choate and Clay, and Webster-wor- thy sons of illustrious sres, and the other dis tinsuishcd whiss of the old-line wls party.

 1 have been abroad in other lands; I have witnessed arbitrary power; have contempat- ed the people of other countries; but there is no country under Gods heaven where man feels for his fellow except in the United States.
