We are having decidedly lively times
just now in political matters. Speech
tying is the order of the day Banners
and torch-light professions are of night
y occurrence. Last evening the Re-
publicans had large meeting at the
Cooper Institute. Hon. Tom Corwin
Of Ohio, wa, the principal speaker on
the occasion. But as might be expected,
his whole speech was about slavery.
He did not however take the side of the
Sewardites in the " irrepressible conflict
doctrine. His mode OF abolshing slav-
cry was by stump speaking. There was
meeting outside of the hall of those
that were unable TO get IN where Corwin
was 81 eaking, at which number of the
Republican nominees held forth in the
most rabid manner, endorsing to the
fullest extent the doctrine Of Seward
and landing him to the skies. One OF
the speakers inquired how many men 1t
would take to Conquer Virginia and
take all her slaves, at the rate OF Browns
work. The orators at this outside gath
ering looked at things through different
glasses from what Hon. Thomas Corwin
did; They wre ready to swallow all of
Stewards teachings, adopt Blown as one
Of their associates and almost go to Vir-
GINA and help him carry out his plans.
These disciples Of the sirrcpressitlc
conflict doctrine were ready for almost
anything that would stir up muss gen
orally, and allow them to ride into office
upon the excitement.
The Democracy are likewise bestirlng
themselves. They are holding large
aud enthusiastic meetings almost every
night in some part Of the city, and are
feeling quite sanguiue Of the success OF
at least portion Of their ticket. The
Harper's Ferry tragedy has had the
result Of stirring up the New Workers.
The last two days Of the sitting Of the
Registers there was an unprecedented
rush to the books. The number of names
registered exceed BY 10000, the largest
vote ever polled in this city. If there
fore all these deposite their votes next
Tuesday, we shall have vote in this city
Of over 100000. Upon which side this
10000 Of voters, over and above the
number heretofore polled, will cast their
votes, is now q subject of serious con
siderstiou in oil political circles; ques-
ton that cannot be fully answered be
fore next Tuesday. Soon after this
letter reaches you, the telegraph will an
nounce the result. will not therefore
stop to speculate upon the probabilities.
Prof Lowe ha. been engaged at fill
ting his balloon for three DAYS past. 1t
is now abont one third full, and begins
to lift its lofty head above the surround
lug objects. This mammoth air ship is
becoming restless as if tired Of being
bound to this world, and anxious to per
form the journey to Europe. From four
to six thousand people visit the grounds
every day, and the number Of visitors
will daily increase until the Professor
starts upon his perlous journey. The
apparatus connected with the balloon,
including the lite boat and the Ericsson
engine, are amongst the principal attrac-
tons. The balloon could be easily fill
ed in ono day, if the supply otgas could
only be furnished, but the consumption
Of 10000 cubic feet of gas in one day
is more than the gas works Of the city
can supply, and furnish to the inhabi-
tants Of this city the necessary light
during the absence OF the sun. The
balloon will not start from its moorine
for at least ten days yet, which will give
the curious ample time to look at the
wonderful monster.
New York is daily presenting some
thing new and unique a new mode o.
travelling; another route for Christians
to reach their desired haven-and more
frequently than all the rest are the
new modes Of healing the sick. A per
son nowadays is almost led to believe
teat there is no need Of his dropping off
or his pulse to cease beating. One o.
the new modes of relieving poor man
Of his aches and pains, has been institu
ted in this city by DR.. Humphrey, form.
erly a Professor at the Homeopathic
College at Philadelphia. 1t seems tina,
the old homeopathic used but one
medicine at time, thus requiring a
large variety and great deal of study
to "hit the case" But DIR. II. ha.
combined a system under the style of,
"Specitic Remedies" or q combination
for each disease, and arranged in an
exceedingly simple manner. Wishing
to know some OF the mysteries, or the
naodas operandi Of pre- airing the sugar
pills for the sick, l called at No. 562
Broadway, and obtained some OF the
mysteries of that institution. The pills
are made by attrition, commencing with
the finest of busted sugar and gradually
increasing and rounding the pellets un-
der the hand in a large vessel, by the
addition Of syrup, until they attain the
proper size and form. After being thus
formed, they are placed in proper essels
and medicated, by pouring upon them
the medicine which has been prepared
