THE PRINCE OF WALES IN NEW YORK Ac


NEw YORK, Oct lS.-The grand ball in honor Of Bar
Renfrew took place last night and really mag
nicent affair. The crowd bcgah TO assemble at
y hour by eight O'Clock carriages blocked up Fourteenth
street. between Irving Place and Union Square and short
y afterwards Of coaches reached across Broadway
and for several squares along Union Place. The arrange
ments outside however, admirable At little past
ten the house presented superb spectacle magnificent
ly lighted decorated with flowers in profuse STYLE
and crowded in every corner with wedressed people, it
constituted pageant decidedly finer than any which
the Academy has witnessed.
premonitory rustic announced that event Of the eve

the Committee The band played "God Save the Queen,
and subsequently "Hail Columbia" and Lord Renfrew
was the cynosure of several thousand eyes.
This had not continued more than ten minutes when a
crash was heard and alarm peryaded the entire as
sembage. The flooring somewhere near the place where
the orchestra usually place proved too weak to support
the throng and fell through Fortunately, 1t was only
two feet higher than the ordinary stage. rope was
speedily stretched around the opening, and carpenters
brought in with their tools
The music KEEP. up the iyeest MEASURE but the delay
In opening the ball was one of nearly hours during

What Il Decided by the Election In Phiiadei-
phia.

The Philadelphia North AmerieaH, the leading LIN
cola paper in Pennsylvania, and moderate in its views
on the slavery issue, states ia the uhoined paragraph
what, in its Judgment was decided by the result OF the
recent Pennsylvania election. 1t says;
Oar election on Tuesd,y determined that the vital and
absorbing question in this State is protection TO Amer
can industry No party and public man need herea
ter expect favor Pennsylvania who Is not true TO her
interests ard honestly Identified With her policy mat
much IS settled and settled too with an emphasis and
expression which has parallel in our political history
Mr. Posters individual votes and declarations on this
subject we're not questioned but he was aragned as the
eprsertative of party which had habtuay sacrificed
the tariff to the success Of democracy. Fortunately for
us the distinct issue was presented at the last session OF
Congress in the Morrill, bill which Is still pending The
Two prnes divided radically for and against IL and no
personal wishes OF Mr. Foster could ignore or conceal
Ia, iudisruablc fact Pennsylvania has, by an unpre
cedented majority, rebuked the men who have hereto
fore deceived and betrayed her. and this record will stand
a. an admontiou to all who may aspire TO her confidence
hereafter.
some other accounts were settled on Tuesday. Our
peope took occasion express their strong resentment
against she Administration which had so much provoked
he existing dscords and to mark with their decided
reprobat0u President and Cabinet who have rejected
such dscredi. unou free Institutions. Every vote OF the
quarter of million cast an utternnce oil rebuke
srain,t the despicabe dynasty az Washington, which,
besides prec patug the country TO the verge OF revou
ton has pundered the Treasury demoTalzsd the gov

and degraded the high places Of trust aud honor. We
intended % punish ami condemn them and their misdeed
aud we have done il in a manner that will be remem-
bered Mr. Buchanan viii retire from office in March
next with such vote OF eeasure other President
has taken into voluntary or compulsory exile.
Our own view Of the matter is thus fully con-
Grmed by the North An,erieaa. The determination OF
the people Of Pennsylvania to vote for thoroaghgoiDg
Tariff man. and to rebuke n thunder tones the corrupt
and odous Buchanan Administration, overrOde al other
considerations We believe thai with proper effort,
Pennsylvania may be carried against Lincoln by hand
some majority Let there be perfect and cordial union
of ali heconservayes in that ate, and in all the North
ern States agains. Lincoln and Disunon.

We learn fom the Columbus (GL) En9airer that the
Corner Stone OF that city-vhose editor boasts that he

GoIng Ont.

The Columbus Times, OF October 9th, has short ed-
toral about the public sentiment of South Carolina at
the close of which occurs the following
'eThus It would seem that whether Georgia and other
Southern States will decide submit to the rule Of Lin
coin, Seward, Greeley Co.. if the former should be
elected South Carolina in all probability will not. She
will quietly withdraw from the Union and everything
will 60 on rs before, unless the above mentioned firm
shall find fault with her conduct and oiciousy under
take to NEEDLE with her private affairs"
There it is, South Carolina will so out, "and every
thing will go on as before" We say, for one, when
she goes JOY 90 with her and will insist that nobody
shall interfere with her. Let her go; but what will the
Charleston merchants say, when Carolina becomes by
herself separate and independent nation? Will their
pocket asrpes be at all disOrdered' We do not believe
any State in the Union would object ta to South Caro-
iuas going out but all would unite in Obiecting to the
Federal Government attempting to bring her back

Wby Don,tHe Answer

When Judge Douglas was asked, at Norfolk, ifhe con-
slered the election OF Lincoln sufficient for ds
solution ofthe Union he answered unhesittingly No.
The same question has been asked Mr.. Breckenridge,
over and over again. and he has not answered yet
Why don't he answer: The people wish to know his
views on this question.
The people will not, and cannot, vote for him unless
he frankly and explicitly announce his views thereon
The people Virginia especially, should turn with lOath-
ing and disgust from poor Breckurdge, unless he an
swcrs the Norfolk questions. We know of numbers of
Democrats in this State who boldly declare that they
will not touch Breckenridge with forty foot pole until
he answers those quesons-and these Democrats orgi
nay Intended to supper. his election win poor Breck-
inridge answer

An English View Of IA Dissolution OF the
Union.

The London Spectator thus dicusses the great
ure Of the leaders ofthe BreckiuIidse faction:
'It Is obvious that such dissolution OF the Union as
that proposed by the eeaters would bring about cone-
queuces lte dreamed Of in the South We believe that
ia six months Kentucky Virginia and Maryland would
not be able 20 hold single slave without standing ar
nv 20 enforce the domestic institution In fact the South
would De under the double necessity Of keeping
army TO guard It's frontiers and another TO hold its black
people in subiugatOa. This military obligation would
obviously involve heavy taxing to say nothing Of the
losses occasi0ned by social disturbances With free trade
abruptly introduced at the expense Of customs, with
large naval and military burdens to bear with the living
machines Of industry ia state Of contumacy; with dis
rac,ed councs-or there still supporters Of genuine
Republican principles in the South-with the British Al
lance proving the udcrous acy that il must be; the
people OF the Southern States likely to find the
pertinent proposed for their amusement by Messrs Ke
Yaucey and Hammond painfully Improbable, and pro-
ducve ouly Of disasters that foreel meas
ure So obvious indeed the frightul tendencies OF
the policy nov proclaimed openly in the market-place

There is an abundance Of truth in the above para
grlph and It is incumbent upon the industrious, inteli-
gent aud patriot; citizens Of Virginia to pause and re-
fleet before they conclude to be led by the into the
grand Dsuniou mashrap set for them by the Yancey-
Breckenridge leaders Their only hope of safety is
in voting for Bell and Everett

A German paper Raises the Union Flag.

We learn from the New Orleans BulietiH that the
Louisiana Stats zsitung State Gazstte of that ctyan
old and influential journal published exclusively in the
German language, has raised the Bell and Everett flag,
and entered with spirit into the canvass This IS anoth-
or of those cheering signs of the times which give us hope
for the country yet Our German feloWcizens are EN-
iuenty reading and thinking people and are abundant
y able perceive the disastrous consequences that would
ensue upon dissolution of the Union We are gratifed
therefore, that they Ockng around the standard OF
the Union the Constitution and the Enforcement OF the
Laws. There are two German daily papers in New Or
leans one of which supports Douglas, and the other Bell
We may count therefore, upon the entire German vote
of the city for the Union and the Constitution.
Let our German fellow-citizens Of Richmond initiate
the patriotic conduct of their brethren in New Orleans

The heavy majority in Pennsylvania against the

Democracy at the North well at the South, has
ended, and that any future organization IN opposition
to tho Republicans must be composed Of different nr"-
