JoHS SLIDELL ARRIvEs.-He is Serenaded and
Makes Speecf.--Had it been known yesterday
that John Slidel, the gentlemanly archangel or
arch-demon of the Administration party Gate
Democratic) in the South, was to make public
speech at night from the portico Of the St. Charles
Hotel, the surrounding streets would hardly have
accommodated onefourth of the crowd.
Mr.. Slidell arrived quietly and put up at the st.
Charles. His young friends who assemble at the
Armory Hall got their band of music and went
and serenaded him at the hotel; all very good and
proper for them.
The venerable Senator, in acknowledgment of
| the serenade, appeared on the portico, almost
crushed by the surrounding crowd, and made the
| first public speech that we ever heard him make
| or heard of his making in this city.
| A very large crowd assembled to hear him, but
believe that his particular partisans were but
small portion of the said crowd. All were quiet
and respectful for they knew it was rare treat to
hear John Sldell express himself publicly, before
large and mixed city audience.
The gray hair, pleasant, healthy face and genial
look and voice of the renowned Senator, secured
| him an attentive hearing, and protected him from
| the shouts and noisy opposition demonstrations
| which might have been expected from such a
| crowd, so suddenly collected.
He spoke of the issues of the day, and of the diff
| ferent candidates for the Presidency. As mat
| ter of course, he lauded Brecknridge, on various
| grounds, as the best and safest man to vote for.
| He awf1-1ed high praise to John Bell as per-
| feet gentleman and good Union man, with whom
| he had served some years in Congress made all
| the generous mention OF Bell, if not more, that
| could be expected from champion of the Admin
straton party; but in his closing remarks on this
point, allowed that Bell was excellent man in a
4 calm, but not fit for the storm that was approach
ing.
las. He identified MIR, d. SO closely with the Bact
Republican movement, and in terms so plain anG
unequivocal that we leave it to the Douglas ora
tors and organs the task Of meeting and refutine
/, him. .@n- on
MIR. Sdell is not accustomed to speaking in tht
open air. Should his friends be able to prevail
upon him to make set public speech in any par
of the city, we can safely promise that all parties
would assemble and honor him with quiet anG
harmonious meeting and most attentive hearing
JAMES GALLAGHER Runs MUoK.-The celebra
ted rather the notorious Jim Gallagher, "a great
bully before 1858, but generally quiet ever snce)
yesterday morning got on bender, and put on his
old airs of 1852. Since the year last named, he has
been in the employ of the city and the Govern
ment, and has kept his mouth shut as long as city
or Government patronage poured " the pewter u
into his ever-open pocket.
Being turned out of the Mint, and subsequently
out of the Work-house, for the natural spirit of vii
lany which has ever prevented him from being
decent with anybody he opened or rather pur
chased an already-opened groggery at the corner o
| Poydras and Circus streets. jim Gallagher never
has trouble with the rats who accept his company
or accept his coffeehouse poison, at five cents a
drink. Jim at last got tired of his dirty com.
panions, and yesterday concluded to assert himself
in respectable circles, as he had so often done
i prior to the political hurricane OF 1853.
In the Marble Hall coieehouse, opposite the
City Hall, (where gentlemen constantly eongre
