ALBANY, Oct. l5.-The Hall of the Capitol was
crammed tonight to listen to the great Southern
orator. Mr.. VIM. l.. Yancey. His speech lasted
over two hours, and a mastery, logical and
convincing argument for the equality of the States,
the rights of the South and the preservation of the
Union and the Constitution. 1t was listened to
with the most marked attention, few inter
ruptiOns and Kisses from some ill-bred ireesOiers,
whose goose-like sounds were promptly drowned by
the hearty and overwhelming cheers OF the vast
auditory The veteran Democrat James D. Was
son, presided.
Mr.. Mcmahon, Secretary of the State Committee,
in few happy remarks which elected marked APP
plause. There is no doubt but this SOUND Union
breathing, constitutional loving speech will produce
great and healthy change in public sentiment
here, which will tell effectively at the polls next
month.
Mr.. Yancey speaks at Syracuse to. morrow after
noon to mass convention, and the succeeding
evening at Rochester.

THE PROSPECT IN THE EVENT OF LINCoLN's ELECTION.
From the Washington Correspondent of ". T. Herald. !
The election of Lincoln by the Electoral Colleges
being now regarded possible event, sober mind
ed Southrons here are calmly contemplating the
probable state of parties in Congress- and the force
OF popular sentiment in the Southern States. They
feel assured that the Republican party will have
little to plume itself upon. First, the popular
majority in the nation will be largely against Lin
coin; secondly, the United States Senate will be
decidedly against him; thirdly, the next House of
Representatives will surely contain an an iRepub-
lcan majority; fourthly, in no Southern State will
Lincoln find men of any repute to accept Office
under him Collectors, Postmasters or Marshals,
lowest subordinate CapaClty.
These facts sufficient to show that the Lincoln
administration would be paralyzed at the outset for
any evil purposes against the South, and would be
dependent on the indulgence of that section for
carrying on the government The fight against
Lincoln, therefore, will be carried on most efec-
lively within the Union. He cannot make any i'm
portant appointments without the concurrence of a
Democratic Senate, and the antiRepublican ma jori
ty in the House will keep control of the public
purse The submissionists, therefore, will be very
soon the LincOnites themselves.
These are the views of SouthrOns who know and
appreciate the opinions and the feelings of different
sections of the Confederacy. If New York will
not do what is expected of her, with the fusion of
all the conservative elements, these Specuations
will be idle; but at the worst Lincoln will have a
barren sceptre.
As to Pennsylvania politics. the decision of the
Reading Convention meets the entire approval of
Democrats in Washington.
NEXT CONGRESS.
In the recent elections the Republicans have lost
much worse position in the House than they now
occupy, where the vote of all the opposition is
against them. In the Twentieth Congressional
District in this State, Andrew Stewart, (Republi-
CAM before reported elected, is defeated by La
zear, Democrat Stewart was so decided tariff
man that he went by the name of "Tarif Andy

MISSOURI POLITICS.
ST. LOUIS, Oct l5.-The Bulletin, the organ of
the Breckenridge Democracy, now published in an
enlarged form, contains the address of the Demo-
cratic Central Committee, urging that the vote of
the State should be cast for Breckenridge to pre-
vent the dissolution of the Union by which MissOu
ri has everything to lose and nothing to gain.
SOUTHERN MEN LINCOLN CABINET.
From the PhiLadepLid Press.l
The names of Southern men willing to take pac

Stanley, now of California, but formerly of North
Carolina; Kenneth Rayner and the veteran John
A. Gimer, of North Carolina; T. A. Il. Nelson and
Emerson Etheridge, of Tennessee; and Gen. Sam.
