ministraton of the government, and that the
conflict would be kept up until the adversary
shall find out that he has been beaten, and
shall voluntarily retire from the field"
In his speech at Atchison he proclaimed the
principle OF bullets for all or none; ballots
for all or none" Such willy demagogue a.
Seward could not possibly approach any
closer to the announcement of the beginning
Of destructive and bloody revolution.
Men of New York. ponder over these things.
Study for yourselves the inevitable logic Of
these enunciations Of William Fl. Seward, and
prepare yourselves to say whether you are
willing by your votes on the 9th of Novem-
Der next, to inaugurate revolution and war
of races, in which the atrocities Of st. Domingo
may be rehearsed, and Of which the watchword
Of the dominant party would be, Bullets for
all or none ballots for all or none"
What they Say About IL I'm the Pre-
vincss.
We have published this morning a few
cheerful extracts from the comments Of the ru-
raj press upon the Princes reception in our
city. The newspapers in Boston, Philadelphia
and elsewhere in the provinces have been vio-
lently exercised In their little minds because
there were some blunders made in the minor
details of the great and ever memorable recep-
ton which the commercial metropolis of the
Union gave to the immediate repre-
sentatives of the British government. Our
pastoral cities are particularly savage about
that celebrated assemblsge Of the fossils called
the Princes ball; and here they are, for
wonder, right The circumstance is one OF
such surprising rarity that we seize with avidi-
ty upon this single opportunity to-as our
Western brethren would say-scknowledgs
the corn. Strictly speaking, the ball was
humbug. A greater humbug even than the
Japanese ball, about which the distinguished
concern of Boole, Van Tine & Co. were 80
sonndly berated. At the Japanese ball there
was jam-at the Japanese ball there was &C.
neral fight for supper, and several spirited hand
10 hand combats over bits of cold chicken and
bottles OF champagne-at the japanese ball
The democratic element was strong in more
senses than one. Beyond these refreshing cpl
todes the Japanese ball was well enough.
There were young men to dance, and young
women to do large amounts Of the may with
the young men. So it was bali-a dear one,
no doubt but nevertheless ball. Now tho
Academy affair was still dearer than the Japs-
ueee ball, If we reckon the cost Of each per
capita and the former ives an utter failure. Wall
street tried TO do the thing IRON its point Of
view, and so the Prince was surrounded by an
tque dowagers, venerable matrons and equity
millonaires. Everywhere the vulgar arrogance
of the mere moneyed man and woman predomi-
mated.
This, however, we hold, was in no way the
fault of the great public. The great public
was excluded from the ball and from the reli-
gious service at Trinity. TWAS in these places
only that any snobbishness was perceptible
during the whole of the Princes sojourn among
us His reception on the Battery by the Mayor
was in the best possible taste; and throughout
the whole affair the chief magistrate of the
city behaved-as none of the Wall street mag
mates did-like gentleman. He received his
guest with an air in which dignity and suavity
were blended in exact proportions, entertained
him with proper courtesy and lieerality, but
made no fuss about II, and gave him, without
doubt the best possible impression Of our
local government Then the outpouring
Of the popular heart-the cheers that
arosc from half million Of people
the order which reigned in the streets-the
grand display Of the fremen--the parade Of
our Elite regimen,s-all these were demonstra-
lions which no other city in the Union could
approach and we have the beet authority for
saying they were exceedingly welcome to the
royal party.
AS for the Philadelphia and Boston papers,
what they may say OF us is not OF much conss-
quence. II is the old story Of the dog and the
moon over again. We may, however, take this
opportunity TO note the fact that the splendid
reception which the Philadelphia papers talk
q as having been given 70 he Prince In that
city was just no reception at all Afrighted
~ the recollection OF the japanese reception,
The Prince was smuggled from the railway sta
ion 70 his hotel which he entered like thief
10 the night The rich men In Philadelphia had
not sufficient public spirit and liberality to sub
scTibe the funds necessary 10 give a ball, (the
thing Was attempted, but failed utterly) and
ine "recepton"-if an operate performance
can be so caied-wss entirely In the hands Of
the managers Of the Opera company. The
sham committee grumbled at the very small
expense Of two hundred dollars for the decora-
tons Of the house. and finally refused, il Is said.
70 pay It So Philadelphia may as well keep
que, about this matter As for the Bostonians,
with Governor Banks.ls thorough gentleman,
and du fat to all the prophecies, to engineer
the solid men, they ought to do something
very fine. II they do 80, we Of New York will
be most happy TO give them full credit for 4.
