I indulge the hope that we shall have an immense gathering of the Democracy of the State at that time, und tbe desire should be to pursue such a course m regard to the re-organization of the present Electoral ticket, as will unite the greatest- number of persons in its cordial and enthusiastic sup port. As an humble individual, I can say with the utmost truth and candor, that I have no personal objection to any individu al who is on the present Electoral ticket, and I would cheerfully and cordially sup port it, with the names of any of those gen tlemen on the ticket, provided that portion of the Democratic party, who have been i- dentified with me, arc fairly represented on it. For -one, I do not ask that the present ticket should be set aside, nor do I believe that such is the wish -of the great body of the Union Democracy. We desire that it shall be so altered and changed, by common consent and agreement, as to make it more acceptable to all. It is the sincere desire of every tsue and honest Democrat in the State It would j (: iat we gbo uid be successful in the approach ing Presidential election; and to do this, we must unite and act harmoniously together. This cannot be accomplished, in my opinion, unless those who put in nomination the pres ent Electoral ticket, will agree that the Un ion'Democracy shall be fairly represented. I have seen, with pleasure, that the lead ing friends and supporters of the present ticket have met the advances made by the Union Democrats for a re-union in the true spirit of patriotism, which foreshadows that every thing will be done that is necessary to secure a cordial union of the friends of Pierce and King, and the triumphant suc cess of that party in Georgia in November next.

Same days Since, Mr. John Miller,of King ston, Canada West, arrived in the city on his way to Australia, and put up at French’s Hotel. On Saturday last, while passing near Tammany Hall,he was attracted by the cry of i« -going, going!” into an auction shop, where one ‘Me Alpine was crying off a watch which he warranted to be gold. This watch was knocked down to one of the <• Pe ters’’ belonging to the concern for $15, but the fellow pretended that he had no money and asked Mr. Miller to pay the debt for him, and he would refund the money after going a few steps down Nassau street. 51 r. Miller paid the money, but no sooner had he done so than another Peter approached, and pretending to be a watch maker, gave it as his opinion that the watch just purchased was worth no more than $10, and Stated that it Was galvinized. The first Peter then pretended to be tery angry at the auctioneer for cheating him, and proceeded to raise a •• muss,” but the matter was apparently settled by the auc tioneer putting up a genuine gold watch, upon which the indignant Peter was given the privilege of bidding, with the under standing that the difference between this and the $15 being paid by him, he shonld be privileged to return the latter. At this point of the proceeding Mr Miller demand ed the $15 which he had paid for the first watch. It was refused, and strange to say, led upon to pay $85 more as in the value of the two watch- \ Miller, being stiU further victim ized* applied for redress to Justice Bogart, who issued a warrant for the arrest of four of the Peters, two of whom, named MeAl- pineand Junes, were yesterday arrested, and held for examination.

Arkansas Election-.—The Arkansas election returns are not complete, bat there is no doubt of the election of Conway, regu lar Democrat, over Smithson, independent Democrat. There was no Whig candidate. The Legislature is largely Democratic. Of the Senators who hold over, ten are Dem ocrats and three Whigs. The Senators ctoc- ted are nine Democrats and three whig). The House of Representatives, as far as heard from, contains fifty-three Dmaocrats and tweentythree Whigs. lion. Pierre Soule, tlie distinguished Senator from Louisiana, in a -private letter to his partner thus speaks of Gen. Pierce: •I I have seen the man, and a man he is —of lolly mein,of winning manners, and ea sy and elegant speech, of great directness of purpose, of'facilc access, and yet dignified Snd ithposing—a man, 1 tell yon, who will grace the presidential chair, add to the cred it of our party, and do honor to the nation'. In him we may repose the most absolute and unreserved confidence. His mind is of the highest order.

This property amounts to $100,000 or $150,- 000. To whom does it belong ? Assuredly not to the-managers who have managed it so badjy.
