baltimore, September 8, 1860.
The town meeting called by the two thousand n,cr.
chants mechanics business professional men Of BAL
nore, assembled this afternoon at four O'clock in Monu-
ment square, to deliberate and devise the means Of
rescung the city from its condition and restoring
the supremacy OF law and order. The square was
densely packed, and all the avenues leading tbercto
thronged by masses Of most orderly, respectable ana
influential citizens. The meeting organized, on mo-
ton Of Charles d. Kinks, by calling to the chair
William Woodward, of the well known firm of Wood
ward 4 Co. A preamble and resolutions were read,
setting forth In clear and emphatic language our So
cai and political evils, condemning club rule and
proposing effective measures TO fair expression
Of the sentiments of the public at the ensuing election by
protecting the purity of the ballot box and placing in
nomination honest, capable and fearless men, in oppos
ton to the nominees of the political clubs
The resolutions provide for committee to call on tho
Mayor and demand the appointment of reliable men as
judges at the next election, and the appointment of spe
cia police force to keep the polls clear They emphat-
caly dsavow party, and empower special committee to
nominate, irrespective Of party, the most respectable and
reliable men for the officers shortly to be elected
The meeting addressed by Mr.. George Brown, a
distinguished member of the bar, James Hodges mer-
chant of the firm Of Hodges Brothers, and George NJ
GIL ESQ.
The speeches were received with shouts of approval
During their progress several efforts to interrupt the
speakers by members Of rowdy gangs were promptly
suppressed.
After the adjournment of the meeting body of rowdes,
calling themselves "Reguators,n rushed upon tho stand
and attempted to harangue; but the police promptly ar
rested the rngleaders and carried fifteen to the
lookup, amid the loud plauds of the people and waving
OF handkercho by the ladies crowding the windows Of
the hotels and private residences in the vicinity
Thus law and order have been fully vindcated, and
most determined opposition to rowdysm and lawlessncss
been established which already has overawed majority
OF the most turbulent disturbers Of the peace.

Mr.. TooMBs OF GEoRGA.--This gentleman
has recently made very remarkable speech
in Georgia, in which he has abandoned the fire.
eaters and gone back again to the most mode
rate faction Of the Southern democracy. He
has even gone so far as to throw out feeler or
two in favor Of Nh. Douglas But the explana-
ton, we suspect, is very simple. Douglas will
never touch bottom in Georgia, but Mr..
Toombs is, perhaps. opposed to the aspirations
Of Mr. Secretary Cobb as Georgia candidate
for the Charleston nomination.

REGENERATION OF BALTIMORE.-Baltimore is
experiencing the throes of an effort to rid itself
of the rule of the Plug Uglies, Rip-raps, Regu-
lators, and other self-organized bands of
scoundrels, which have for several years past
held sway in its municipal affairs.
A call, signed by two thousand names of re-
spectacle citizens, convened an immense and
enthusiastic assemblage of the people last
night in Monument square, to organise action
for the coming city election. 1t was attended
not only by the law and order men, but the
law and order women were also present in
large numbers in the balconies and windows
of the neighboring houses. An attempt was
made by the rascals to break up the meeting,
but the excellent police arrangements thwarted
their designs, and fifteen of them were arrested
and sent to the lookup. While this operation
was going on the people cheered the police
Justify, and the ladies waited them their APP
probation with waving handkerchief and other
signs of approval.
This spontaneous movement proves the eX-
istence Of a sentiment Of public virtue in the
hearts Of the people Of Baltimore, and is one
of the best evidences that popular government
| is the best and strongest of all governments.
! The meeting has called upon the authorities
| to see that proper judges of election are APP
! pointed, and that the polls be protected from
the lawless and riotous spirit which has for
| some time made an election in Baltimore
mockery and cheat. 1t is to be hoped that
| the present movement will suffice to obtain the
ends for which the meeting has been called.
If it does not, Baltimore must resign itself to
become the opprobrium of the whole country
until a Vigilance Committee be formed, and
the citizen soldiery bring the Plug Uglies and
their confederates to a practical acquaintance
with the persuasive powers Of the bayonet and
ball cartridge.

the intcrcst, which was already plsds> ID by tn
constitution; and In tho present year It wa!
proposed and carried in the Legislature 10 O IN
tinue the same unconstitutional, foolish course,
which was vetoed by the Governor So that
none need wonder If bill should be passed IN
the next Legislature to sell the canals.
There is only one constitutional way Of
meeting the debt and the difficulty, and
that is by laying on tax to pay the interest,
instead Of borrowing money for the purpose,
like the rotten, swindling railroad concerns.
The constitution sets apart from the revenues
of the canals, after paying the expenses, the
sum Of si,700,OOO to pay tho interest and
redeem tho principal Of the old canal debt
(sl2,000,000) which existed in 1886, and it de-
clares that "the principal and interest of said
fund shall be sacredly applied to that pur-
pose" Now, last year the whole proceeds only
amounted to 1925, about half the amount
due TO the sacred" fund. How, then, is the
interest on the new debt of twelve millions
more to be met! BY taxation alone-the only
method to save the State from the disgrace of
reputation, though not from bankruptcy The
great Empire State Of New York is at this mo-
ment bankrupt, being either unable or unwill-
ing to pay the interest on her debt. Such is
the condition to which the credit Of the State
has been brought by the rival factions Of the
Rcgencies

The PoIiTIGAJ. MOVEMENTS OF THE Day
The ingenious combinations of the republicans
at Syracuse upon candidates and principles
for fusion Of all the odds and ends of the OPP
position elements of this State in November,
form splendid specimen of political mosaic
here bit Of black stone, there bit Of white,
and next bit Of blue, and then bit Of green
which will excite the admiration of all politi-
cal jugglers. But this beautiful job of science,
tact and taste, is surpassed by the New Jersey
coalition, where the republicans in their fusion
movement have completely out-generalled the
faction of the American party known from
their long legs as the Sha nghaes
The ellie Of the American camp, including
Governor Newell, having thus been drawn into
"a happy accord" the Shanghaes, we appre-
hend will have to come down. A protective
tariff, strangely overlooked at Syracuse, thus
appears to have been the bond Of peace at
Trenton, in addition to the dropping of the re-
publican platform on the "slave oligarchy"
and the slave power" The tariff is thus like
wise made to override the slavery issue in
Pennsylvania in the fusion movement there;
but when the subject shall come before the
National Republican Convention Of 1860. be-
tween the tariff and the "slave power there
will be most delicate and difficult piece of
work to do, for New Jersey and Pennsylvania
cannot be spared.
Thus it will be seen that the present opera
tons of the republican party, here and else
where, are limited to local purposes; and that
in this State, that State and the other, they are
fighting their local battles according to their
local necessities On the other hand, the de-
mocracy here, there and everywhere will hear
Of nothing and see nothing but the Charleston
Convention. Thus, while the Albany Regency
are packing delegation to Charleston, while
Douglas is electioneering for himself on the
stump in Ohio, the democracy of the South are
distracted with their slavery issues for the
Charleston Convention. AT thisrate the demo-
cratic cliques and factions will have devoured
each other, like the Kilkenny cats, before the
opposition enter the field. Such are the con-
sequences Of the folly of ambitious democratic
leaders and rivals in abandoning the safe an
chorage of asteady administration, to fight and
squabble among themselves year before the
time for the spoils and plumber of the success
sion.

The SCHUYLER FRAUDS IN COURr AGArN.-We
print in another column an abstract of an opin-
ion delivered by Judge Ingraham, in the SUI
preme Court yesterday, on the application of
certain stockholders Of the New Haven Railroad
for an injunction to restrain the directors from
paying dividends until it is decided what stock
is genuine and what may be the spurious issue
of Schuyler. The Judge decides that all the
stock issued previous to 1850 may be consider
ed genuine, and that the holders thereof may
receive dividends; but upon all the stock
issued since that time the directors are enjoin-
ed from paying any dividend until some court
of competent jurisdiction shall declare what
portion of it is genuine and what is not. 1t is
very doubtful whether any authority can be
found competent for that difficult task. The
Schuyler frauds were not discovered to the
public until lS54,s that all the stock issued
for four years. according to this decision, will
have to be pronounced upon, and the sheep
divided from the goats, before the holders Of
genuine stock can receive dividend of dol
lar upon it.

The News FROM EURoPE.-The news by. the
Europa confirms the tenor Of the advices re-

making progress in the establishment Of con-
stitutional order
The Duchies persist in their determination to
Danish the house of Hapsburg- Lorraine and to
be annexed to Sardinia. The government OF
this kingdom has declined to receive them I'M
till the other Powers, and particularly France
can be consulted. 1t is worthy of notice, in
connection with this fact, that the London
Times commends the course of the people of
Tuscany and Modena in ejecting their dynas-
ties, and advises them to place themselves IN
der the leadership of Garibaldi who, it is
asserted, will become the Washington of Italy
No revelations have been made in regard TO
the proceedings Of the Conferences at Zurich,
except that they are proceeding satisfactorily
and will probably attain an amicable arrange
ment about the LIST of September.

special noticc It leaves all the elements
and agencies of fusion comparatively free
to oct in behalf Of . general opposition
coalition, according to the contingencies
which may arise from all our Northern fall
elections. and from the proceedings of the new
Congress which is to meet In December. In
contrast to this mastery inactivity" the dcs-
potic course Of the democratic Regency NJ
Albany, in view of the Charleston Convention,
is suggestive of anything but a corresponding
exercise of caution and prudence.
The leading features of this Syracuse repub-
lican platform are-frst, highly seasoned
rehash Of the old story Of the "slave power"
the "slave oligarchy," &C.; and second, the
denuncistion of Mr. Buchanan's administration
as "marked throughout by reckless profit
caoy of expenditures" "snd by an entire
wonton and disgraceful abandonment of the
great principles Of State rights and individual!
freedom" which belong to the American peo-
ple. The glove is thus thrown down to the
Albany Regency, and we shall see, before tho
expiration of another week, whether they and
their Tammany retainers arc prepared to
stand by or abandon the administration upon
which they have been fattening for the last
two or three years.
Upon this issue and the Charleston Con-
vention difficulty the union or division
of the democracy at Syracuse will de-
pend. If the Regency are led of
after Mr. Douglas and his delusive dog
ma of popular sovereignty in the face of
the opposing policy of the administration, and
if We are to have next week a proclamation
from the "slate" of Richmond, Cagger, Cassidy
d Co., of the New York delegates to Charles
ton, our November election will 60 by default
and all efforts for democratic reunion in 1860
will be reduced to the Van Buren, programme
of 1S48
The republican party at Syracuse have indi-
Gated plan of operations for November
which will require the largest exercise of the
spirit of reconciliation. among the democracy
The prospects in this direction, we admit, are
gloomy enough; but still il is possible that the
desperate necessities of the party may reduce
the Regency to reason. By next Friday, at ali
events, our readers will be able to Judge
whether the republicans are to be put to thei
utmost strength or allowed to walk over th,
! course
