cv.ots nj the Iast few weeks had essentially
changed the relationship OF the democratic party
Ia the government aud that that party was
now the master Of the situation" An
auusion in his speech 20 the Governor Of
Massachusetts, brought down Kisses for Governor
Andrew while another alluson to General NC
Clelian brought down rounds OF applause. Mr..
Seymour was followed in his speech by MIR. John
Van Buren,, who declared that he had never sup
ported a candidate with more satisfaction than he
should support Mr.. Seymour. Still he had, fol-
lowing the suggestion of an intelligent and a.
gacious editor, recently proposed with Mr..
Seymour's concurrence. that both candidates
for the Governorship should withdraw in favor
of General Dix. He denounced General Wads-
worth az an open, bitter, malignant enemy
OF General Mcclellan, and gave as his authority
for that statement Commissary General Welsh, Of
this State. II General Wadsworth had not changed
his views in regard to his superior officer, then he
was traitor and deserved gibbet more richly
than Jefferson Davis himself. In regard to Gen.
Scotts letter to Mr.. Seward he said that the mode
of his obtaining it was secret, and that most
accomplished and cultivated lady was helping him
to keep the secret. As to the statement made in
the Evening Post in regard to his dining in the
club room at the same table with General Scott.
the day when he read that letter at the
Cooper Institute, he declared it to be
q false statement of private conversation made
by Charles King, of Columbia College, the only
man in the United States who ever assailed dead
woman-Mrs. General Jackson. He (Mr Van
Buren) was but private in the ranks; but, II ne
had command of the army and ever got to Rich
mond, he would say, "Gallant Greeley, advance!
Forward, the black brigade! Penetrate to the
heart OF South Carolina and stay there forever
He declared it as his opinion that, if there should
be an attempt to make this war for the abolition
of slavery, and to arm the brutal helots Of the
South, it would be the highest duty Of European
nations as civilized and Christian nations, to in
terfere. The last speaker was Mr.. David Floyd
Jones, candidate for Lieutenant Governor There

ever, was not large enough to give much relief.
only 5000 being furnished to each bank. The banks
out of town desirous Of obtaining the currency
were even less fortunate than those in the city.
the largest sum furnished to any one of them be-
ing only about one hundred dollars. AT this rate
the relief which it was intended the new ar
rangement would afford will be long in being felt
The Committee OF the Board Of Aldermen on
Railroads met at two O'Clock yesterday, Alderman
Booe in the chair. The Clerk read the resolution
directing inquiry to be made as to the number Of
cars run by the Sixth Avenue Railroad Company
what number they paid license for, and by what au
thorty the company had extended its track to Fif-
ty-ninth street. The Clerk replied, in answer to
=
license for thirtysx cars, aud they ran fortysix;
and that they paid licenses for twenty-one small
cars, while they were running thirty-one. The
Chairman directed the Clerk to notify the President
OF the Sixth Avenue Railroad relative to the
subject, and to state that the committee
would meet again on Friday to consider the
business. A petition was submitted from six
hundred and fifty residents of the Twelfth and
Twenty-second wards, above Fifty-ninth street and
Eighth avenue, praying for an extension OF the
Eighth avenue road to Eghty-second street. Mr.
J. p. Paullison, resident Of the vicinity in ques
ton, advocated the prayer of the petitioners. He
said that the city authorities held the grant, and
could compel the company to perform all the oblf.
cations they were under to the public. There was
large travel now up the avenue to look ct the
new reservoir, and he thought it would pay the
company to run up there. The principal point
was to get them under some rule Of the Common
Council. They had promised to lay the track, but
had not done so. Mr.. Law told him they were
only waiting for iron to do the work. He thought
the cars could be to Eighty fifth street; but the
company could not be compelled to run further
than Eighty After receiving some other
papers, which we're laid over until next meeting,
the committee adjourned to Friday next. at two
o'clock p. M.
