JUDGE DOUGLAS NEW YORK.
In his speech at the great barbecue at Jones'
Woods, New York city, Judge Douglas is reported
to have said:
And here will answer the question of that gen
tleman in the crowd who became so angry a few
minutes ago-(cries of "Put him OUT -because
would not answer him at once. He desires to
know whether I am in favor of a union ticket in
this State. (Cries of "No, no, money!
The man in the crowd again-A fusion ticket
Mr.. D0uglas-Well, a union fusion ticket,
whichever you please. | tell him that am in ia
vor of cordial union of every Union man, every
constitutional man, every man who desires the pre-
servaton of the Unisn and the constitution, and
the enforcement of the laws in every and all con-
tingences. Loud cheers.) If Major Breck
inridge is in favor of enforcing the laws
against disunionsts, seceders, and abolitonists,
and all other classes of men, in the event
the election does not result to suit him,
then | am willing-(great applause but | tell
you that am utterly opposed to any union or any
fusion with any man or any party who will not en-.
force the laws, maintain the constitution, and pre-
serve the Union in all contingencies (Cheers)
Now, if my excitable friend-(great aughter)-
whether bis man Breckenridge is inside of the
cnurcn, ne must get an answer from that gentle
man himself, through the Norfolk questions. IRE
newed laughter.) When he answers, and pledges
himself to enforce the laws in the contingencies
named in the Norfolk heterogeneous to me, it
will be time enough to talk about he and | fusing
or coalescing. (Three cheers.) Believing that
| this Union is in danger, will make any personal
sacrifice to preserve it. (Cries of "GOod," and
three cheers) If the withdrawal of my name
would tend to defeat Mr. Lincoln, would this mo-
ment withdraw it Voices-''You shall not do
it !" "No!" 'Never !')-more especially if such
an action of mine would ensure the election of
man pledged to the constitution, the Union, and
the enforcement of the laws. (Cheers.l

Hon. James Brooks, formerly a member of Con-
gress from New York city, has addressed the fol
| lowing letter to Mr. Buchanan

| To the President Of the United States:
Maine votes for abolitionism, Monday next, the
10th, and you are responsible for i, Inc same
and almost rescued Connecticut was rescuing the
ship-building, freghting, manufacturing, trading
State of Maine, and you have put stop to it. The
hosts of your office holdGrs that line FOR hundreds
of miles Names indepted sea coast, and the hosts
of postmasters that dot every village of the inte
rier, trembling in fear of removal from you, have
not, with fe" exceptions, dared to speak or act
| with any efficiency, even in mere State election
Hence heroic army of rank and file, going to
battle without their customary generals will be
routed by the well drilled enemy. Upon you is all
the responsibility. One word from you, and we all
I could have merriy sung: "Morn breaketh in the
east" &c, &C. The responsibility is now
resting upon you in the Empire State. One word
| from you, and we have but electoral ticket to
run against the common enemy. Or if others run
| a ticket in spite of you, it will not poll votes
! enough to rank among the respectable scattering.
| GU and you alone now unite the opposition
of the North, and forbid the election of a Northern
sectional, geographical President, purposey
| n ma Ep war i1n1 in
| teen States of our Union. Will You, in New York
in Maine, shoulder this frightful responsibility?
| Yours, respectfully,
JAMES Brooks.

EXTENSIVE BANK FRAUD IN HAvANA-LARGE Re-
| WARD OFFERED FOR THE observation-disclosures,
Sept. ], 1S60.-Mr. Jose Solano Alvear, Havana
agent of the Credits Espanol, of Madrid, has dis
appeared from this city with vast amount of funds
belonging to that institution. 1t is estimated vari
ously from half million up to three times that
sum, which latter incline to think is unfortunate
ly more like the truth He was suspected for some
| time and person set to watch him; and the Won
der is that with suspicion did not come suspension
and examination His last financial operation is
thus described: The person who was employed to
watch him was lawyer, who was also instructed
| to secure remittances of heavy outstanding bal
ances Alvear promised a bill of exchange for
900 on certain day, in two bills each for one
half the amount, payable to himself, under the i'm
preston that the filling up might escape the notice
of the lawyer, which not being the case, he en-
dorsed the bills in blank and the originals put
under cover and sealed up.
A few mements of interesting conversation fol.
lowed, and when departing he took with him the
letters lying before him, to be sent forward the
same day, but instead of depositiug them for
that purpose. he went to his counting room and
opened the letter, abstracting 100000, which he
sold to Messrs Cahuzac Brothers. On the arrival
of the advice and exchange at Madrid, the 60 900
were missing. They telegraphed to London. and
found by reply, that the bill had arrived and been
negotiated to the credit of the purchasers in Hava-
ma. Whether this will make a loss for Messrs. Ca
| huzac Brothers not advised. The transac-
ton, as far as this banking house was concerned,
was proper business transaction and those selling
the exchange were in good reputation in this COM
munity at the time.
The above is taken from the New York Herald
of yesterday. A telegram from Charleston an
nounceq that Mr.. Moncada, Spanish consul in that
city, offers large reward for the apprehension of
Alvear.
SINGULAR DISAPPEARANCE OF A HAT.-A Sunday
or two since, at Grace Church, says the Home
| Journal, Young gentleman put his hat under the

young ladies sat next him. At the conclusion of
the service the ladies left the church first, and the
gentleman stopped search OF his hat, and, to
surprise, found it gone He called the sexton, and
applied to that worthy functonary for advice. MIR.
Brown suggested that it might have been caught in
the ladies' crinone; and entangled in the crin0ne
sure enough it was. After bobbing against one of
the young ladies' ankles for a distance of about 20
yards, the hat dropped out much to the astonish-
ment and surprise of those following.
