EVENING STAR. WAS If 1 NGTO N CITY: FRIDAY t'rtober 3, 196?. Uir Advertisement* ahould be handed la bj fet o'clock, m., otherwise they may BOt appear onMI the next day. ( SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS The Union quotes from the speeches of Messrs Seward, Hale and Wilson, and up?n their testimony lays it down as established troth that the Republioan organisation hM for its ultimate object the abolition of slavery In all the Southern States, and that its par. pose is to be accomplished by first getting possession of the several departments cf the government, snd thereby making it sure that no more slay* States are to be admitted. The Union lays: 14 Surveyirg the field from thisstend point, we think we discover evidences of * settled fturpose on the part cf a portion of the Fremont eaaers either to practise a fatal fraui upon the conservative portion of the North, or to consummate a scheme of treason upon that Krtion of the black Republican party which j given it its vitality and strength If the objects of the black Republican organisation, as distinctly laid down by its great leader, Mr SewaTd, are to be carried out in the event of the election of Mr Fremont, then the late development? indicate a fraudulent purpose to quiet the apprehensions of disunion which have taken-possession, with great propriety, of thousands upon thousands of the northern people. If the developments to which we allude are honestly intended as foreshadowing the administrative policy of Fremont, then Sewaid atd his wing of black Republioans are to be cheated by the rankest party trea ?on " The Union proceeds to comment upon the faot that Fracoir P. Blair and Speaker Banks> acknowledged leaders in the Republican army, have both come before the publio within the last few weeks for the avowed purpose of de claring the objects of thtir party, and that utterly repnJiatc the programme of Messrs. Seward, Hall, and Wilson Mr. Blair affimS that he holped to instal Repub licanism for the purpose of adding to the sc cwity of sUrery in the southern States. Mr BanVi says that whoever intimates that his paiiy intend* to interfere with h'avery in tho States is guilty of a bold and ba^ele^ slander. He goes still further . htf adopts and .endorse3 the Lon-interveation prlMij)!e of the juansas bi!l, and says that his party #?nts ns? i>;-her legislation for the settlement of the difficultly? in Kansas. The Union urges that tbe^ cir oumitances and others give plausibility to tie idea thatMes-rs. Blair, Banks, Bennett, miM Fremont have conspired together to betray the originators and founders of Republicanism; and 3 et, it add3 : " It is so difficult for us to believe that so bold an act of treachery could be resorted to. even by men who have proved traitors to their former political associations, that we still in cline to cur first impression, and conclude that the change of programme has been made with the knowledge and approval of all the leaders, and for the purpose of avoiding the charge of dkunionism which threatens their overthrow. As Republicanism has existed and prospered *>7 a succession of fraud*, it is the safer con clusion tba* *t has determined to seek its final triumph by the means." The Intelligencer, alluding the mtional boast about the progress of the counirj, says : " Certainly, its growth in all branches of induetry acd in all departments of develop ment and wealth is truly marvellous. We oould wish that its progress in moral growth was one halt or even one quarter as rapid or great. But let that pass Our aim in this paragraph is in a different direction. We perceive by the official tables just publisbed that the revenues of Government during the last fiscal jear, in spite of all the efforts of the Government to keep them down, amounted, in round numbers, to seventy-four millions of dollars , and its expenditures (what na tion was there ever under the sun whose ex penditures did not keep pace with the increase of its income') amounted to fifty-sevtn mil lions of dollars' Here is a proguss to " give as pause " PERSONAL ....George Peabody, Esq., is on a visit to Boston ....

The Late Duel in eouth Carolina ?1The recent duel has occasioned mnoh comment in the public press throughout the country, and hence every thing connected with the tragedy ie of general interest. The duel, which re suited in the death of Mr. Taber, took plaee, it is stated, in conseqnence of a peremptory challenge to that genUeman for alleged offen sive matter published in the Charleston M?r. enrf, the name of the author of which was not demanded. It now appears that on the 27th of Septem ber, Edmund Rhett, jr., addressed to the Hon# A. G. Magrath the following note : " Sib : It has just come to my knowledge, that your brother, ?. Magrath, Esq., has sent a challenge to the editors of the Meroury, on account of tho publication in that paper of the articles signed 4 A Nullifler.' With a view of preventing a collision between our mutual friends, I hereby avow myself the author of those articles I trust, sir, that you will see the propriety of relieving others from the probable and painful consequences of vindi cating your honor, by vindicating it yourself " My friend, Dr. Furman, will make the ne cessary arrangements." To this Mr Magrath, under date of tho 30th ultimo, replied as follows : 14 Sir :?Your note of the 27th iost , was handed to me, on Sunday, in Aiken, by Dr. Furman, to whom I stated, I would return an answer in Charleston 44 Tonr communication gave me the first in timation that any difficulty had grown out of the publication of certain articles of which you have avowed yourself the author. 441 took the most effectual means, circum stanced as I was, to put a stop to the proceed ings of which you notified me. 441 had hoped that these means would have proved successful; that they were not, was entirely beyond my control. I came to the city the day after the receipt of your note in Aiken : I then for the first time learned that definite arrangements had been made for a duel between Mr. Taber and my brother, the time for their meeting having been fixed at an hour prior to the arrival of tbe cars. 44 Your declaration of being the author of the articles w'lich have appeared in the Mer cury, addressed to myself, is of no interest or consequence to me. Should I deem it requi site to take any step for meeting the unpro voked charge* and aspersions, 1 shall follow the dictates of my own sense of duty and pro priety, aided therein by the counsel of friends, and not regarding tho suggestions of my as sailant. To the public as well as myself it is due that this correspondence should be known." Mr. Magrath has now formally withdrawn as a candidate in the pending election for member of Congress from the Charleston dis trict.

To let them tclt* tho story, ha oan scarcely, anywhere, mus ter a corporal's guard ! Recently, in " accordance with this prevail ing mania of tho time*," a vote was proposed to be taken on the train in which Presi dent Pierce wss a passenger, between New York an i Stamford, when, according to the Evening J'ot t, the President refused to vote v whereupou, that paper remarks: 41 This 41 dodge' ' of the President will hard ly satisfy the pa blic, for the locality had nothing to do wit a his simple expression of opinion, and wc m ay naturally conclude that Mr Pierce, though a tried member of the Buobaarer party, cannot swallow eitber its platform or aaiididate?in other words, oven Franklin Piesce is unwilling to vote for James Buchanan.

" We happen to know that Mr. Walker en tertains a precisely contrary opinion, and is more oonfident than ever that Mr. Buchanan will win the day in the approaching contest Let the Munchausens try again.

His remarks were listened to with marked attention, and continued for two hours a fervent strain. One of the mo3t prominent points of bis speech was his argument to prove that the Republicans were clearly and solely responsible for a perpetuation of the wrongs and outrages committed in Kansas by their refusal to pass the Senate bill of Mr. Toombs. S >rce half a dozen steamboats left New York on Wednesday morning, csrrying crowds of Democrats to join a great Buchanan and Breckinridge mass meeting of the ocean and river counties at Poughkeepsie. The steamers were beautifully decorated with banners and flags, and made a very imposing show as they went one after another up the river. Their departuro was signaliied by the discharge of cannon and other demonstrations of enthu siasm on board and on shore The meeting was a great gathering, and speeches were made by Senator Hunter, of Va , Col Pres ton, of Ky.. and others The Republican authorities of Pennsylvania have made a " requisition" upon Mr. Hamlin, our governor elect, to go to that State and en list in the Republican cause there They wish him to tell the Pennsylvanians how the thing was done so handsomely in Maine, and no man can do that with better effect than he who has borne tbe Republican banner on to such a glo rious triumph in the "Dirigo State." Mr. Hamlin will, we learn, leave for Pennsylvania in a few days ?Bangor Jeffersonian If Mr. Hamlin makes a clean breast of it, and tells exactly " how the thing was done," he will own up to the Pennsylvanians a pic ture of fraud, bribes, and double voting by the black Republicans such as they never dreamed of.

This is caused by there being inoro full grown men in proportion to popula tion than in any other State.
