Robbed BY Men in Qis2uise.

Our city was, last evening, the scene of one
of the most daring and outrageous robbpries
that has ever come under our notice. Mr.
Bell. residing on Fayetie street in the Fourth
Ward had collected some S3tN0, to make n
payment on some property to-day. and. the
tact becoming known to some Of the thieves
that are ever to he found in large city. they
resolved to secure the amount. and took the II
measures accordingly. Last evening about
Elk O'Clock. two men, disguised in women's
clothes, called ut Mr.. 13eli's with view as
they stated, of seeing the gentleman himself
Mrs. Il. invited them in, and they passed
through the hall into the kitchen, where one
OF them took a seat, while the other stood close
by, apparently admiring some birds which
hung in cage against the wall, but, in
reality, watching favorable opportunity to
carry his yillainous dee,Tns into effect After
short conversation, Mrs. Bell proceeded to
resume her dOmss tic du lies and was passir q

one OF the females wore Il beard. The dis

The feeling of the German Democrats of this
State toward the Confusion electoral ticket are
clearly expressed in the following resolves, which
were adopted unanimously at numerous meetiOg
of that class Of citizens, held in Flushing, L. l., en-
Saturday evening:
That We shall support only straight Douglas electoral ti,k
e that only such electors who the
regular nominees Of the National Democracy viz: phen
Douglas aud Herschel '. Johnson.
THAT we earnestly request the Democratic State Committee
to pledge nd' duay every eecto the Democratic ticket
vote for but Douglas and Johnson and substitute
name for every elecor who refuses such pledge"
There can be no doubt that the Douglas ticket
will lose more than it gains by the Confusion swim
die. While it has added Brooks, Hunt, and their
tea-party to the Douglas ranks, it has repealed
thousands of oDg.tried and hearty admirers of the
Little Giant, who will not engage in any double.

Gov. SEwARDs Speech at Detroit yesterday is

Gov. SEwARD's Speech at Detroit yesterday is
given rerbatim in our columns this morning. In
calmness and terseness of statement in breadth of
view and suavity of temper, it contrasts very
strongly with the ordinary electiOneering efforts.
Gov S. steps square up to the line of the "irre-
"pressible conflict" but serenely, gently, and with
the confidence of one who knows well the ground
he stands on, and feels sure Of it. Compare this
speech with the daily foundations of Douglas,
Hunt, Brooks, &c, and judge which is the pro-
found and philosophc statesman, which the shallow
and tricky demagogue! The contrast is most in-
structiye, and we trust the largest possible num-
Der will be persuaded to read this speech for them.
selves, and judge it by their own munitions not by
the noisy swash of hostile clamor and misrepre-
sentation. Let Gov S. speak for himself, and the
judgment as between him and his daily defamers
cannot be doubtful.

ticket would receive q much larger vote ghse !.
eau now By any possibility hope for.

When. more than three weeks ago, hr. AldAs-
man Starr undertook to exculpate himself from
the odium which had been brought upon him n
connection with the japanese swinde, he Goa
cludsd his labored speech with notice to the psk.
lie that he should at once take steps to have II.
Committee brought together, in order that the blk
for the entire business might be published to the
world. And certainly il anybody had reason to DO
active in the matter, it was Alderman Starr. He
had sunk to an amazing depth in the estimation Of
the community, and his only chance of reinstatins
himself lay in preventing the contamination Of this
enormous robbery. What Mr.. Starr has done la the
premises, however, does not appear; the bills are
not forthcoming; and the only change in the public
mind is deeper conviction, if that be possible that
the conspirators are only waiting for the universal
indignation against them to cool of, aud that then
they will take up their great project and carry it
triumphantly through.
We once more warn these scoundrels that the
puni.bment of their crime will not be light, psr
will it be long postponed after the deed has bees
completed. They may think they enrich them
selves by the robbery but they will find they ar,
mistaken indeed.

The grand purpose of the coalition between the
Douglas Democrats and the Bell Everett people Is
scrupuousy kept out of sight by the managers.
The motive steadily set before the Wing and Amer
lean votes is the defeat of Lincoln and the pos
sibe election of Bel or Everett. To be sure, the
precise way in which this is TO be accomplished,
as well as the probabilities, there be any, OF the
success of the scheme, are carefully avoided by
the leaders. 1t suits their purpose to divert at
tention from practical estimate of the chances,
as that would completely destroy the delusOn and
explode the whole scheme. The truth is that,
under this pretense, the Wing and the American
voters are to be betrayed into the embrace of the
Douglas Democracy. The leaders themselves
have no hopes of electing Bell or OF defeating
Lincoln. Having Themselves determined on going
over to the old enemy which IN former days
they denounced as LocOiocoism, their present Pur.
pose is to take as many with them as
possible. The present coalition, under the
cover of chance of electiUg Bell or
Everett is the bridge over which the Wig
and American rank and file are to be passed
into the Democratic camp-there to remain or
become wanderers again. This explains the ardOr
of Douglas, which otherwise has no apparent
motive. The truth is, his eye is on 1864. He is
recruiting party for future operations; and the
Wigs and Americans who go into the present
coalition with the ostensible object of helping Bell
or defeating Lincoln, may rest assured that they
are being enlisted for Douglas as Democratic
candidate in 1854. This is the essence of the
Whole matter They who go into the coalition
low should make up their minds to become
thorough Dougasites, and to acknowledge Douglas
as their permanent leader and candidate. They
must cease to be Wings or Americans, sink their
identity, take their chances with the Cagger
Regency, and be content with he fare those pure
patriots may choose TO place before them. This
is the fate that awaits the Wings and Americans
who suffer themselves TO be seduced into the

The Hon. Hiram Ketchum made speech in the
IXth Ward last evening, wherein ne ventured TO
assure his hearers that if there is any cheat In the
Brooks Cagger coalition, the Republicans are not
TO be cheated. Thank you for nothing, Mr. X.
Ne have taken care of that already, 50 that you
need not trouble yourself. We have not only taken
care that you shall not cheat the Republicans; We
shall continue to yeniilate the matter until you
will find yourselves utterly impotent to cheat any

and Mr.. Huntington on the other have refused to
run on your Juggling Electoral Ticket, while Mr.
Ogden will only run rs an open, ayoWed supporter
Of Bell and Everett. So the cheat does not pros
per, our adyersaIies being judges.
Mr.. Ketchum bluntly advocates general fusion
"a triangular ticket, made up of Douglas, Bell
ard Breckenridge men, expressly to beat Lincoln.
The end of this, he says will be the election OF
Bel and Everett. But suppose our Democratic
Adopted Citizens do not choose TO join IN COAL

Edward Everett at the head of the Government
what do you propose to do about it That is the

TO fuse with Hans and Patrick-Fernando Wood
and Isaiah Rynders-but are thy willing to go into
his scheme of electing Bell and Everett as lis sub
o1dinates? The Irish and Germans say they are
not-that they are not fusionists, but Democrats

pishes no solvent for this difficulty.
