The MAYoRAITY AND THE MUNICIPAL ELEC-
TIoNs.-Our amiahle friends eKnow Nothings,
have nominated Mr. Barker, one OF the staunch
founders Of the party, and whole ticket for the
municipal elections. This is very good for the
Know Nothings. Mr.. Barker has been Know
Nothing Of the srictcst sect, through good report
and evil report, from the beginning Of the msse-
ment down to its present dilapidated condition.
lie las been consistent antagonist Of the natu-
ralized citizen in every sense Of the word, and
hostile to the poor Catholic and Irishman to the
utmost extreme Of respectable human aversion.
OF course the Know Nothing ticket will receive
the votes Of the thor ougb. going members Of the
rarty who have not got tired OF their narrow
creed and still narrower platform.
We have also the regular Tammany ticket in
the Geld. with the never TO be-frightened Fernan-
him all the ancient and modern adherents Of de-
mocracy, naturalized citizens Of every kind, and
antagonists to the old Maine law, without regard
to Presidential instincts and prejudices
The black republicans arc the only party who
have still their nominations 70 make. They will,
of course pick out from amongst themselves some
suitable set Of niger worshippers to carry their
standard aloft.
The little cliqucs Of reformers who have been
talking of Judge Whiting, and the bogus demo-
Gratis who have been making use Of Libby, count
for little or nothing in the approaching munich
pal campaign. The candidates on all these
tickets. as soon as the niger worshippers shall
have made their nominations, will be severely
scrutinized by the people Of this city aud decided
upon without reference to Presidential instincts
or interests. Fernando Wood Is as yet master Of
the situation, and from all appearances is likely
10 remain so. Whatever may be his chances OF
ultimate success, they can in no way affect the
issue Of the Presidential contest in thisciiy. The

THE FRIENDS OF THE ADMINISTRATION FOR DIS
uNIoN.-Mr. John Forsyth, the editor of the Mo
bile Register, and just appointed Minister to Next
CO by President Pierce, has issued valedictory
to his subscribers, which we publish in another
column In this document Mr.. Forsyth, speak
ing deliberately as foreign Minister Of the Unit
ed States, warns his fellow countrymen that If
they exercise their constitutional privilege OF
eect;ng the man they prefer for the Presidency,
1.-The government will be virtually at an end"
The citizens Of the United States must refuse to
exercise tue right Of voting, the man they choose
must refuse to accept the mandate of the MAORI
ty the constitution must be nullifed and a new
mode Of electing chief magistrate must be de-
vised, or lit will be the highest duty Of the
[Southernl people to seek in new political or
ganization that safety to their liberties, &C."
which the constitution apparently seems to Mr..
Forsyth inadequate to secure.
We submit that this spectacle of q man depart
ng from his country as her representative abroad
with treason On his lips, and revolution in his
tone, is wholly unexampled in history. Weques-
ton whether any government in the world, save
the administration of Franklin Pierce, would
stultfy itself and insult the citizens whose exccu
tive it is, by deliberately confiding post Of high
trust TO On open and avowed traitor. II would
not be more absurd If the Emperor Napoleon were
to accredit Louis Blanc, or England John Mitch
ell, or Austria Signor Manin to foreign courts.
Mr.. John Forsyth is one Of two things either
a cbaratan who feigns 10 be disunionist in order
TO help the election Of Buchanan or traitor who
in his heart desires the ruin Of his country. Cha
rity impels us to give him the benefit of the
former horn OF the dilemma. But so far as the
public know the latter is the nearest the truth.
We have no desire to dwell upon the case Of
q man who has 70 little selfrespect As to accept
post Of honor and trust as the representative
Of principal whom he i doing all in his power
to undermine and destroy. But the event Is note
worthy as il illustrates the degree Of reliance
which tue country ought to place In the Bs,han
anPicrce dynasty in the event Of real soditon ari
ing. A party which could confde one Of the
most important Offices IN lie gilt to an avowed
traitor, ought to be the last, QUO wolld think, TO
which II would be prudent 10 entrust the guar.
dianship Of tic national destinies.

Mr.. Boris Commemorative are requested, by
a telegraph despatch from Richmond, to say that
Mr.. Bolts does not entertain the opinion that
Fremont will be elected, should the Presidential
election 60 to the House, but thinks that Mr. Fill
more will be the happy man. Mr.. Bolts we ap-
prehend, labors under great mistake. Should
the election go into the House, the following will
be the exact condition Of the vote:-
For Fremont Name New Hampshire, Yer
mont, Massachusetts,, Rhode Island, Connecticut
New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Ohio, In
diana, Michigan, Wisconsin-l3.
For Buchanan Virginia, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi
Louisiana, Arkansas, California-l0.
For Falmore-Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky,
Missouri.
The three States of Tennessee Texas and Iowa
would not vote at all, because Tennessee and
Texas are each exactly divided between Fillmore
and Buchanan, and Iowa divided between Blu
chanan and Fremont.
Upon this exhibit, the Richmond Wing (Fill-
more) admonishes us that
The constitution does not require that a candidate

Our Richmond Fillmore contemporary, upon
these data; comes to the sensible conclusion
that, should the election go to the House,
the three parties will continue fighting over
it till the fourth Of March, when Mr. Breck
inridge (who will already have been. elected
Vice President by the Senate, if there should
be no election by the people,) will by de-
fault of the people and the House to elect, be-
come President of the United States. Between
certain intriguing democrats and Know Nothings
there is plot to this end. We were favored
with confession, vague bnt significant, upon the
subject, from Governor Floyd, of Virginia. in his
late Wall street speech. Perhaps the American
people will prefer to settle the question for them
selves in November in favor of Fremont. We
think they will. Certainly, as far as Fillmore is
concerned, either before the people or in the
House. he has not the ghost of chance-not the

ANOTHER AssAnANT OF FRENoNT.-We pub
lish elsewhere letter which appeared yesterday
in the organ Of the New York Custom House, in
reference TO Col. Fremont. The author is the
Richard Yeadon whose long story about the
fanatic aboltionists Of Boston we published yes
terday. Mr.. Yeadon is bursting with matter for
the press. Absence from his usual safety valve
is killing him. be is ready to overflow into any
channel and upon any topic. The letter which
we publish elsewhere is very fair average Of
tie attacks that have been made upon Col. FREE
mont since he was nominated for the Presidency.
It contains searching inquiry into his airtatons
while boy, showing that he behaved in the
most shameful manner to young woman at
Charleston, (he probably gave her sugar plums
and kissed her behind the garden gate), then
married some enc else. 1t also reveals the
shocking state Of Lis finances when he taught
mathematics for living and supported his
mother out Of his salary; and INDUCES in some
severe sarcasms In reference TO his deal
ings with bis tailor at that unhappy
period We are even led to believe that bis con-
duct toward this worthy snip so di.heartened
him that he threw aside the needle and now
manages a bank. However this be it IS clear
from Jr Yeadons statement, that when Fremont
taught mathematics for miserable pittance, out
Of which he supported his mother, he was poor
ard also that when he was boy, he did at timse
50 fer forget what was due 10 decorum as TO dirt
with lady whom the ari.tocra;ic Mr. Yeadoo
assures a. was in humble circumstances, Jg
respect ibie.' Now, on your honor, Mr. Yeadoa
Old .he wash end iron for Fremont! The po.n,
is vital. Let The truth he known.
Tmlcr. sir. Yeadon il led to believe tia. Ere
mont bas often conveIscd on the subject Of rel!-
eicn, asd expressed en- admiration for the Roman
Catholic church. From the horror with which
Mr. YCo9on speaks Of this matter We perceive
that lis education has been defective aud tha,
his mrd has not yet reached maturity Had be
had tie good fortune 10 have spent few years
a. one OF those schools which his Virginia CO
lalorcr, The Soaiside Dsmocrat, denounees because
they are free schools he would have learnt that
there is no existing institution in the world TO
which art letters science, freedom and religion
owe 20 much, on the whole, as the Roman Catho-
IL church; aad that men Of the education Of
Colonel Fremont acknowledge frankly the obi
CATION And had Mr.. Yeadon's mind reached
tie roiEt at which original reflection upon reli-
gious subjects takes place, he would have under
sood the honest doubtings and inqurings aud
earchings which horrify him in Fremont
a. Il Is, we can only recommend Mr.. Ycadon
20 return whence he came and apply himself 70
study. There Is fine opening for intelligent
men Of Charleston; let him write less, read and
think more. Let hia No be careful with whom
be associates 1t is nov kcn to every man to be
genius: but with leisure and proper efforts al
can at all events become scholars and gentlemen
We commend these new characters TO Mr.. Yea

FREMONT A JEw.-At last the truth is coming
out. On evidence given elsewhere, il is clearly
shown that John Charles Fremont is Jew. Now If
he il not Jew, let him come out over his own
signature and say 50; and also let jury Of ply
iicisns examine him and report whether or no he
Las been circumcised. There is a story to the
eject that he l. Nahometan, and also cannibal

bryo. Let Fremont just settle the Jewish ques.

CRoTcHETs AND QUAvERs.-We are afraid that
our friend Maretzek made mistake in his recent
coup d'etat with the directors and stockholders of
the Academy Of Music. At his concert on Mon
day night only two-thirds of the room was filled,
and the persons who composed the audience were
not Of the class who habitually patronize the
Opera Theywer to be sure, highly respectable
persons and very neat in their dress-the same,
in short, who are in the habit Of frequenting our
other theatres; but there was none Of the style,
the gorgeous apparel, the diamonds or the fine
equipages and splendid liveries which we are &C
customed to witness on Opera nights. Our friend
Max's famous speech, taking fling at the Goldfish
aristocracy, would do very well for an indepen-
dent journalist like ourselves, but shot of the
kind from an Opera manager or musical conduc-
tor is very different affair. 1t affects the very
class from whom he gets his bread and butter, and
is very apt to react on his own interests We
understand that this unfortunate speech has Gre
ated very decided hostility against Maretzek
amongst the fashionable circles and Opera goers
Of the Fifth avenue; and that the shines of his
audience, the other evening, was intended as
manifestation of this feeling. The unlucky in
presario must console himself with the reflection
that he is not the only candidate for public favor
wEo has been damaged by bis love of oratorical
display. Alas poor Maretzek Alas poor
