LONDON, September ll.-London journals
90-morrow. viii surely belle the really for
anidable popular demonstrations which took
place here to-day in favor of the French re-
public, and against monarchy at home and
abroad. These demonstrations were two in
1umber-One in Hyde Park and one in st.
james Hall. At the meeting in the open
air, In Hyde Park Professor Beesly made
speech, vigorously denouncing the imbecility
Of the British government, and charging it
ON the Queen by name that she was encour-
aging the King Of Prussia to march on Paris
for the purpose of destroying the new born
republic. What the freemen of America
secognize and applaud, said Professor
Reesly, 1.-THE aristocracy of England sup
port Queen who deserts her post in aiding
to stif1e and suppress The name of the
Queen was received with tempest of
hisses. When these subsidized voice in the
crowd called out three grOans for the
Prince of Wales" The response was uni
versal and passionate. The aspect of the
crowd at the time was really appalling.
In the meeting at st. James Hail. which
was crowded by persons of better class
than the gathering at Hyde Park, strong
resolutions were offered denduncing the in
consistency of the Prussian advance on
Paris with the solemn proclamation OF the
crown prince in August that Prussia made
war not upon the French people, but upon
Tue emperor Napoleon. Professor BeeSly
spoke, saying that England desired no dis
memberment Of France; that if the English
government were honest, it would say so
plainly to the King of Prussia. The Eng
lish government is hostile both openly and
secretly to France, not because it loves Ger
many, but hates republicanism and fears it.
TO uphold the present course Of Prussia is
to uphold despotism in Germany as well as
in France.
The government of England has not
recognized the republic in France, but the
day was at hand when the French republic |
would be called to recognize the republic in
England. Odger read at this meeting an !
address from the Democrats of London to
the French Republicans, which was adopted
The feeling in this city against the govern
ment and the royal family is extremely bit
ter, and not only among avowedly Demo
cratic classes but throughout the ranks of
society. The impression made by the Times
and other papers Of some standing, that the
foreign policy of the government has been
dictated by the personal prejudices of the
queen, and the interests Of her family, has
produced a most dangerous and general in

some places, two feet high. lie could find
no traces Of slate rock in the vicinity, and
the fact Of its being interlaid with a hard

Mr.. Greeley was q candidate for nomina-
ton for Governor before the Republican
State Convention in New York, and this is
what the Tribune says of the successful can
didate:
For some days prior to the assembling of
che Republican State Convention atsSara-
f0ga, the Tammany organs (unblushing and
blushing alike) in our city were somehow
1mbued with the notion that Horace Greeley
would be nominated for Governor OF
course, they were moved to characterize
him as the worst possible selection-sure to
be beaten 0verwhelmingly-wo than any
other possible candidate could be. The Sui,
went so far as to stignlatiZe him as the
rings" candidate, put up, through Tam
manys manipulation, expressly to insure
Hoffman's reelection. His foreordained
nomination was triumphantly cited as proof
that the Republican managers and wire
workers did not want him to succeed.
The convention may or may not have
been affected by these representations, but
1t sorely disappointed their authors by NOM
mating General Stewart l.. Woodford. In
stantly the tune is changed, and these same
organs in chorus declare that Greeley was
the strongest man to head the ticket, while
WOOkfOrd is weak as water-can't run at
all-was only put mp to be beaten-that his
nomination is virtual surrender etc. ETC.
Don't believe word of it +, Whether thew
were false before, are false now, or both, we
assure our rural friends that Woodford and
Kaufman will gain enough on Griswold's
vote in the two counties Of New York and
Kings to elect them-leaving all their gain
in the other fifty-eight counties for majority.
General Woodford will take part in the can
vass; and those who have been misled to
distrust his ability will oblige us by hear
ing him. We should be glad to hear that |
he and Hoffman will speak to the same |
audiences at ten or twelve central points, |
and let the people judge between them
We venture the assurance, that if Mr.. Hotf-
mans friends shall express wish for joint
speaking, they will be accommodated
