JoIl.Nto. of the gi eat meeting -f the Dem ociacy of .New oik Cuy, at Junk's Wood, on th lV!ih instant. The New Yoik Aftf eayb of the deiuviibiraiion: la magnitude of numbers and in the piiiuhai prevailed, it f.tr transcended any political meeting ever field in the Cuy ot Nkw Voik. Ww may go father, and bay w uhout exaggeration, that it was the larges demousiia io.i of t ie Link that ha taken place in lue Uuited Stale. It was one ol those wunder ot city lihithai are only beheld at long intervals, anp are only catlod lorth by some great exigeucy that stiis up the hearts of the people. At ten o'clock in the morning a score or so ol people were on the ground, supeiintending lue barbecuing of ihe meats, and and making tho necssary arrangeineuis for HpeaLers in ditlercut parts of the Wood. Five hours later, and lo, the change! As if by magic fifty thousand people are transported to tbe pi tee, to listen to the clarion voice of tne Little Giant of the West, nnd to the lolly and polished eloquence of thi. statesman and patriot of Georgia. It was the til si time in the history of the country that the candidates of the Democratic party for President and Vice President had met upon the same rostrum to speak to the pi-oplo on tl.6 mo mentous questions of tho day. The audience was worthy of the men and the causo, and the reports we publish elsewhere in the present iesue testify t0 the stirring and

forceful eloquence with which they discharged that duty. The moral effect of this meeting will extend far beyond the limits of the metiopolis. It will reach the cities and townp, and penetrate to the villages nnd and gnhcol districts. It will impart fresh lifo to the activity everywhere prevailing among tLe regular Democeats, and extinguish thti few deleting sparks of vitality that linger among the partisans of tho Secessionist-. It will give hope and courage to those who doubted the strength and determination of the Douglas Democracy fo carry the State, and it will bring to our ranks the whole body of conseivative, Union men who cannot fail to see that with us only rests the power to 6ave the country from the domination of Black Republicans. Words of Jacksons. The following ia an extract from the fare weil address of Andrew Jackson; words fitly spoken, and worthy of the consideration of every citizen at the preseut time The citizens of uvery Stnte should tudiously avoid everything calculated to wound the sensibility or oQend the just pride of the people of other Slates, and they should fiowu upon any proceedings with in their own borders likely to disturb tho tranquility of their political brethren in other portions of the Union. In a couu try so extensive as the United States, and 'i ... :.t. :. : I i and wiih pursuits so varied, tho internal regulations of tin several biaies must frequently differ from ono another in important pani'-uUis: and this difference is una voidably increased by the varying principles upon which the American Colonies were originally planted; prim-it 1-s which had taken deep root in their social relations before the RevoUuion, and therefore, of necfcssity, influencing their policy since they became free and independent fckates. But each S;atd has the uuquesiiouablu ri'ht ti regulate its own internal concerns Hcrding to its own pleasure; ar.d while it does not interfere with the rightaof the people of other Sta'es or the rights of the Ci.ion, every S'.ite must be the ao'e judge of the measuies proper to secure the baleiy of its citizens and promote their huppines;nd all etTn ts on the part of the peoI pie of other Siatea ti fast odium upon ihir ln.sututions. and all measures calculaied to disturb their rights of propetty, or to put in j-opardy their peace and internal tratKiuüiiy, are in direct opposition to ihe spiri". in which the Union was formed, and must endanger its safety. Motives of philanthropy may be assigned for this mi wnrrantabl . i ntei ferwnce; and such men y YvtiUl, ti'ewiie tor " that tbev are l.iboi'iiif in the cause of huinanity nnd asserting the I iirh ts of the ! human race but every one, upon sober reflection, will see that nothing but mischiefcAn como from their improper assaults upon the feelings mid rights of ovheis. Ueat assured, that the men found busy in litis work of discord are not worthy of your confidence, and deserve your strongest reprobation. Steaphens on the Signs otthe Times. Ii his late speech at Augusta. Ga., Hon. A. H. Stephens said. There is no cause in which I would more willingly die than in the cause of my country, and I would just as soon fall here, at this time, in the advocacy of those principles upon which its past glory has been achieved, its present propseitty, and its future hopes depend, as anywhere else, or on any other occasion. I tol l you at the outset that the signs of the times portend evil. I gave vou this as m) deliberate judgment; the future must make its own disclosures. But you need not be surprised to ee these Stales, now so peaceiul, contented, and happy, imbroiled in civil war in less than 12 months. There are occasions too grave for excitement or any appeal to the passions. Believe me, I mean ail I sav the most terrible tornadoes those which demolish cities, destroy whole fl-ets, and sweep everything before them come most unexpectedly. So do, the most violent revolutions among men. The human passions are the same everywhere. Tiiey are dangerous elements for public Ii Ii, politicians, and party leaders to deal w in. The condition of the country threatens i he most violent conflict of sectional feeling, antipathy, and animosity at no distant d ty. Siiould an outbreak occur, where is H o power that can control it? A nail iti iy be put in motion by one who cannot s ..p it a fire may ba kindled by hands It at cannot quel ich it those who bea;in vvolutions seldom end them. Uloodt axd Fatal UsscousTEh Another bloody tiagedy has occurred ia this p'.ice, in which Levi Adler, the well L'iown proprietor of the Merchants Iljtel, I -st his life by tho hands of William II. Mallory.a prominent lawyer and politician of ihia county.' Tho homicide occurred in Snyder's II iil ling, at present occupied as n Oouit house, at tho head of the first flight of stairs, but a few steps from the enhance to the Fiiend oftirf. Adler was atruck with a knifo. his jugular vein wai severed, and l.e expired almost instantly af.er reaching tho clerk's office, a few feet (iom where he was standing when he was st ruck. An excited crowd is in the street, and tho cries and groans af the deceased's relative's are sounding in our ears as wm write. Great exoiimenl prevrils, and threats have been made. Mallory has been arrested and com mi teil to jail' Coo inyton (la) People's Fxicnd. A lawyer said to a medical friend: "My faculty' surely, is the more cncient, for the j killing of AbU by Cain was the first enm nal case." Sure enough," replied the doctor, "but before that hapened, a rib wan taken out of Adam's side, and that constituted the first surgical opsratiou."

Disgraceful. Wo are informed that the Baptist con - .? I .1 gregrawon oi tins city nave jus: reiusiateu Thomas L. Brickiiii itlge in his formergood standing in the Church, by a vote of 17 1ÜI

The charges against him were forjiiH' victcri-is wo knes, licentiousness, conduct unbe- stripes had floatet

fcince that the night; that fiye or six of the more lion orable uiembors left tho session in discus at the manner in which the friends of Breckinridge upheld and sustained him in his abominations; thai it was only after these persons had so left ihu vole re-hita-ting the reveiand vagabond was taken, with the result abeve tneuinned. We marvel overmuch at the afiirmative vote of one prominuut m'utlemau, who it is said to have known and a Imitted that his own daughter had been insulted by the reverend culprit! We would lain believe iheie was somo. mistake about this, but are compelled to fear that iti-, too true. Lafayette fie. aid. This miu Breckinridge took advantage ,.t i : :.: ..i i .n:r .

A Weddimg at a Death bed. Mr. R. G. Denning, of ilarrisburg, wlio wss injured on the Pennsylvania Railroad died the same night.

We take the following extract frcm a a speech delivered at the groat Democratic mass meeting, held at Spiingfield, Illinois, on the 25lh July, by Col, W. A. Richardon. Tim Col. was in lh Mexican war, and knows wheieof he speaks. Read it, patriotic ciiizens. and then see if you can supp rl Mr. Lincoln: Follow citizens. I don't know why they are so anxious to say that I have a choice between Lincoln and Breckinridge.
