Hamilton, after the commission of the re-

Affairs at Fort Scott are still in an unsettled

Efforts are being made by the inhabitants to

REVOLUTION IN New ORLEANs.-Ont the night
of the I'd inst, a revolution broke out in the
city of New Orleans. 4 vigilance committee,
| in large numbers, seized the Arsenal and Pris-
ons. and on the next morning the executive
| committee called on all law and order people
to join them. Cannon were posted about the
Arsenal and some 200 armed men were on
| guard. The occasion of this rising is the
numberless murders, robberies, and outrages
which have been committed in the city during
the last few years. The civil authorities were
taking measures to suppress the revolution,
and conflict was hourly expected. The rev.
olutionists seem to be very numerous, and they
| have issued proclamation in which they de-
clare the ordinary machinery of police justice
suspended; that the vigilance committee will
| therefore act in its stead, administering to
each and every maefactor the punishment due
| his crimes; and ask all who have desire to
rid the city of asSasSins and other outlaws to
report themselves at the principal office. They
also state the movement has been projected
for some time, and that it will be as noiseless-
! " carried out as it has been thus far. The
! vigilance committee are supported by the res
| pectable citizens, and it was expected that the
| municipal authorities would have to succumb.
The latest Intelligence from New Orleans
indicates the complete triumph of the Vigi-
| lance Committee. On the morning of tho 4th
| there was great excitement; both parties
were preparing for fight, and the city author
tiles had issued orders for the arrest of one OF
the ringeaders in the rebellion. Then there
was talk of compromise but finally the
| Mayor resigned, and the Committee practical
| ly took possession of the city, and proceeded
| to organize new police force. On Monday
the municipal election is to take place, when
if ever, trouble may be apprchended.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE poLYSEs1AN.

SIR:-I am hearty friend of the British nation,
true lover of Old England, descended solely be-
eve from the stout ons of the honest English yeo-
manry, warm admirer of English character and
English principles, almost instinctively partisan
OF England IN her gallant struggles, and have the
satisfaction of numbering some true-hearted Eng
Ishmen among my most cherished friends, both
here and abroad. l therefore feel moved to beg
with all due respect that you abstain from endeav-
ors to foment quarrel between me and my English
friends and when l happen to remark that " Eng
llsh influence Is strong in the government, and in
favor Of liquor, please not to represent me ap-
plying the obnoxious predicate to 4" Britishers
nation,' to England, - to EngListnaen in the
islands class, or to English influence upon the
government from without; but let it apply precisely
and specifically to what my words affx it and to
nothing else, to the f English influence an the gov
ernment,' in other words to that influence in the
government possessed by the English members of
it, which influence L have the honor to repeat to
the public, is strong and IN taUor of hquor j. e.,
as limited in meaning by the context in favor of IL
censng and against prohibiting the sale o. liquor.
And on the whole, permit me recommend to you
to employ little less rhetoric and more exact
"logc, in the anal lysiS of my sentences when next
you honor me with your criticism.
Respectfully yours,
Lahaina, Apr. s, 1858. S. E. BISHOP.
I'VE hasten to give to the above communication the
publicity which it deserves and willingly accept of the
construction Mr.. Bishop puts upon his phraseolo
gy. The English language is indeed little stubborn,
aud is often supposed to less than he says,
or to say less than he means In future will try
to bear in mind that when Mr.. Bishop uses the word
'quor, he is endeavOrng to convey the idea of 're-
tail licenses and that the broad term, English in
fuence must be allowed to wither up till it no
more than the influence of an individual Englishman.

PRESIDENTIAL AsPIRANrs-Quitc a number
of gentlemen, friends of the elements op-
posed to the Democracy" are spoken of for
the next Presidency. In New York the
struggle is between Seward, Greedy & Co. and
Fred Douglass Frcds color is greatly in his
favor. Gen. Houston, of Texas, Sumner, of
Massachusetts,, Blair, of Missouri, Hale, of
New Hampshire, jim Lane, of Kansas, Brig
ham Young, of Utah, and David C. Brodcrick,
of California are all mentioned in connection
with the Presidency 1t is minated that
through the influence of Joe Palmer, Fremont
was induced to withdraw his claims in favor
of his friend Broderick. Ono Of our Eastern
exchanges suggests as n strong ticket, Sew
ard for President and Brodcrick for Vice Pres
idcnt," and says, with such ticket in 1860
the Republicans would be invincible." The
Republicans everywhere claim Frederick as
their especial property, and VIC have not heard
of Democrat disputing the claim. They arc
welcome to him, and may fiattcr him with
the prospect of a nomination for the Vice
Presidency, but they are too shrcwd to give
it TO him. They will use him, not reward
him.

DEMOCRATS, remember that the Black Re-
publican Convention adjourned without NOM
mating ticket that it indorsed the Broderick
nominees; that a number Of its members as
serted on the floor Of the Convention that the
Brodcrickitcs had come over to the Republi-
cans; and that both factions had the same OBJ
jcct in view, the defeat Of the Democratic par
ty. Remember, too, that the Black Republi-
cans consulted with and acted upon the ad-
vice Of the Brodcrickites, and that their late
county convention was composed almost cx-
cluSivcly of Brodcrick's old friends-of men
who Joined the Republicans to subserve the
interests Of their old master. Remember that
the two factions have fused and are arrayed
against the Democratic party. Remember
that they denounced Douglas, said that the
Kansas Nebraska bill Twas monstrous fraud
and swinde," and that they admired Brode-
rick-hated Douglas" Are you willing to
follow Broderick into tho Black Republican
ranks? Are you ready to Take your stand
under the Republican flag? Are you prepar-
ed to desert your old fricnds-unitc with your
old enemies, merely to crafty the vcngeful
spirit Of Broderick! Have you suddenly be-
come enamorcd Of Rcpublicanism, dissatisfied
with the principles Of the Democratic party
II not, how can you affiliate with the Broder-
ick-Rcpublicans who boast that their object is
to defeat and destroy the Democratic party?

lie was among the first to dcnOunce the /" Ne

lie cared nothing for Douglas, but he would
be found working with that party that could
do the most injury to the Democratic party.
The ticket now in tho field, in opposition to
the Democratic party, would receive his and
should receive the cordial support Of every
Republican in the county Of Fl Dorado. He
hoped the original resolution would pass.
The preamble and resolutions were adopted
by an almost unanimous vote, to the gratiica-
ton of the BroderickiteS, who were swarming
round the ThCater. Every delegate who
spoke denounced the Democratic party, and
took decided grounds in favor Of the Broder.
lex ticket. The MOUNTAIN DEMOCRAT came in
for full share of their harmless vitupcration,
for which we feel deeply grateful We arc
proud Of the censure Of men. to Use the forci-
6lc language Of the ilIustrious dead, "whOse

hostility against" the fairest portion Of their
native land.
The fusion between tho two wings Of the
Republican party is now complctc,-the mar.
riagc ceremony was contaminated in the
Theatcr in this place last Tuesday, and We
now ask the few Douglas men who still asSo-
ciato with the neutrality-suspicious., if they
intend to follow the Brods into the Republican
camp? Pause, reflect and take not the fatal
step. No man can be Democrat who atlili
ates with the foes of the Democratic party.

FIRE IN GEORGETOWN. On the evening of the
10th this Inflated town, for the third time,
suffered from fire. 1t broke out about 8
o'clock in the evening, in the central portion
Ofthe town, but by the extraordinary excr-
tons of the citizens was prevented from
spreading. The evening was sultry, with
scarcely breath of air stirring. The loss is
not as heavy as was first anticipated, most Of
the goods having been placed in tire-proot
cellars, which preserved them. The loss is
estimated at $4,000. With their accustom-
ed energy the citizens are rebuilding the
burnt district
