The friends of IIEgNSN, the pugilistic champion
ot Amcrca, are showing iheir appreciation oil his
abilities by the most nDerul subscriptions, Last
evening, meeting of his fancy friends was held at
the Malta Saloon, Broadway, at which the com
mittce reported $4,000 as placed In the house of
puNcAN ShERNAN y Bno'ss subject to llEgxAN's
orders, and their bclief of collecting s.. 900 for the
Boy BAnSuM, the prince OF humbuys has offered
liE.SAN 500 day or $50, ,0UU mouth to exhibit
him like wild animal. The offer is still omen and
doubtless H. will close. From an obscure origin
tins rufhan has become hero and on arriving in
America 1t is supposed he will be worth $50, 900
when he was not worth as many cents Oh his de.
parlure for England. This speaks well for New
York morals.
On the reception of the news of the nomination
Ot LINCOLN by the Chicago Convention, the Y. NJ.
Is. e. colnilttcc caused hundred guns to be
hred inthe Park, After the Y NJ. salute, the G.
C.cnuscd another hundred to he fired, to express
ther joy. There was also fired one hundred in
Union Square, and one hundred in Hamilton
Square, making 400 guns fred TO express the Joy
of the Republicans, they consider the nonliil;l-
tion the precursor of glorious election. Notwith-
standing this display and manifested Joy the Re
publicNns of the city sadly grieycd at SEwARp's
defeat, and consider their party without leader.
LINCOLN they regard as IA thrd-raie stump speaker
and poorer than PIERCE. Whilst the Republicans
thus mourn in secret over SEwARn's defeat, tho
Democrats are open in their expressions of ioy--
For they consider the action of tho Republican
party suicidal in ncgectirg such able statesmen as
SEWARD, BANKS and CHASE, and to nominate n
thlrd'rate, unknown Western lawyer. In his anti
slavery opinious, LINCOLN is the most ultra and
revolutionary of ali the candidates whose names
were introduced ut the Convention, and it claimed
tiiaS S y t!:c Grst who went into the rreprcssible
conflict. 80
At such "a nomination We have every, reason TO
reioIce and II true TO ourselves. nothing can inn
pcde our onwardmarch TO victory. The issue has
been made by the Republicans, and every voter
l'innst4see that it must be met-not by theories and
distractions, bat by direct denial Their prn-
ciples, expouudcd by SEWARD, BANKS and others,
involve the dissolution of the Union. They boast
II is their design TO overthrow the Institution ofthc
South, by force fraul. by illegal legislation, or
IL compelled, by fire and sirord.
In tue midst OF this blind opposition II becomes
the South, ii she would be true herself and to the
union to quit all vague distractions md hair
splitting theories, and work practically. New
York. with 30 votes is lost TO the Republican par
ty, and with IL the hopes they cherished. If the
Democracy will take advantage of this b1under,
and rally around single banner victory Is certain
