for School Com: he Approaching Elect NEW YORK HERAJ New York, Friday, May 27, 1842. The election which is shortly to take place in this ‘ity for Commissioners, Trustees, &c. of our Publie ools, bids fair to become, in interest, excitement ind its lasting effects, one of the most important movements of the present century ; and if coming events ever do cast their shadows before, as we are tirmly convinced they have done in past times, then this election, judging from the premonitory symp- toms, will be signally marked by the parturition of an entirely new party, We tind, already, that anentirely new and curious party are organizing, or perhaps we might say, have already organized, to take the field on entirely new And on looking at the ex- elusive organ of this new and curious party, the “ Tribune,” we see that they have come out on new and distinct grounds, named their leading officers— one, Ald. Williams, hitherto a violent Whig—ano- ther, James Harper, hitherto a violent and worthy locofoco, as their candidate fer School Commis- sioners. This is breaking the ground ina very pro- per, decided, and distinct manner, like good citi- zens, as they unquestionab We also see, on looking at the same organ, that they have published the following, as an exposition of their views in relation to this exceedingly impor- tant and interesting matter :— {the great blessings of a republican form of go vernment is religious freedom, and aims at the entire sepa- ration of the interests of the church from the State, and ognize the sacred right of every one to adopt 1, with reference to the particular mode of worshipping his Maker, we also condemn as anti- ny legislative act which gives to as. ivileges or power for the promotion of certain reli- as creeds—especially if those creeds are of foreign ori- rinciples of true American exists upon the statute jaw framed under the relate, with direct reference to and jor the benefit of the Roman Catholics of so repugnant in its formation, and so glaring in its consummation, that we cannot longer refrain from ex- ing our decided conviction, that unless our citizens arouse and come out for the protection of American inte rests and American principles, those principles and those interests will soon be overthrow! whose great object is to amalgamate and concentrate both our civil and religious liberties under the power and con- trol of Romanism. This is throwing off the trammels of their old parties with a vengeance, opposing both upon new and distinct grounds, and declaring their determi- nation to go uponstrictly new principles But whilst they take the above broad ground as a basis for their future actions, they also set forth their peculiar views and prejudices against the Romish Church, Governor Seward, the Locofocos—the Courier and Enquirer, the organ of Bishop Hughes—and other matters and things in the following resolutions:— it as our deliberate opinion ation other than Roman Catho- 3 a distribution of the Public School mon not only would have been denied them, but they w have been most severely censured for making the at- The Extraordinary Conduct of Congress towards our Navy. ‘The strange and unaccountable conduct of Con- gress towards the Navy of this country, in cutting it down on every hand, refusing appropriations for it, stopping all promotions, and attempting to cripple it in every possible manner, is censured on every hand loudly and indignantly ; anda feeling of the deepest detestation is rapidly rising in the whole community against the ultras on both sides in Congress for their shameful conduct towards this glorious, this right ari of our national defence That all sorts of paltry tricks and schemes should be resorted to by the violent partisans of a coon- skin, hard-cider Congress, sident Tyler, embarrass the Government, stop the ind disorder the commercial relations of the country, might have been expected ; and is But that any body of men i be found insane enough to carry their preju- ident so far as to seek to erip- avy of their common country, ildest incendiary and most bit- terenemy of the United States would never have grounds in this election. in order to harrass Pre- car of State, » wondered at. is a thing that the w: The Navy—the proud, the glorious Navy—the pride and boast of every land—but more es; so of the Navy of the United States. “ Whose march is on the mountain wave, Whose home is on the deep— that this should be cut down, and paral: outrageous to be borne. men in the world—the officers of our navy—should be shut out like galley sla term of years, like criminals—men who watch and toil whilst others sleep—who brave all weathers— all climes—all coasts—who, taking their lives in their right hand,dare every danger, and brave every peril—the storm, the hurricane—the battle and the breeze—who shelter our shores—protect our com- into every sea—mal his own religious cre in, and opposed to the pure from promotion fora State of New York al supervision of a adopted expres: nd destroyed by those merce—carry our flag very name of the country respected and honored Indus to the poles—that such men should be sacrificed by such a Congress for the ba- sest party purposes, is almost enough to create anew Look at the history of our glorious little navy—it is the history of the country the heart of every freeman of the United States.

It is a brief history of the affairs in that State, from the lighting of the slow match to the explosion of the shell and disappearance of Gov, Dorr and his sword, asgiven by the Suffrage Sheriff. : To the Public. . . The part that [have taken in regard to the suf- frage movement, and the relation in which that cause has placed me by its friends, requires from me, at this time a brief detail of the late. movements of | myself. In the first place, I will begin with my mis- sion to Washington with Mr. Pearce, by the appoint- ment of Goy, Dorr. ‘There a great_anxiety was ex- pressed by the President and Mr. Webster that the Rhode Island controversy should be amicably set- tled; and in furtherance of this object, President Tyler informed us that he intended to write Gov. King a private letter, advising the Governor that some advances must be made to the people—that they had rights which had been disregarded, and that no more arrests ought to be made under the law in relation to * offences against the sovereign pow- er of the State.” Mr. Webster on the same day put into my handsa letter to John Whipple, Esq. ex- pressing the same views, and wished me to deliver the same to him as soon as possible. The letter was read to me, though [am not at liberty to. make its contents known to any one. He talked of having a meeting of the friends of both parties in the city of New York, and this was urged upon Mr, Whipple as one of the friends of the Landholders’ Govern- ment. I proceeded to Rhode Island with all speed pos- sible, and found that Mr. Whipple was in New York, where I returned and delivered the letter. Mr. Webster was then in New York, and, with Mr. Whipple, I called on him at the Astor House. Mr. Webster then repeated his anxiety to have the controversy settled, and an arrangement was made for an informal meeting to be had, to see what could be done. Mr. Whipple was to meet Messrs. Pearce, Harris and meee at Howard’s Hotel, to see what sort of a compromise could be hit upon. We all met for that purpose, and Mr. Pearce pro- posed that a case might be made to the Supreme Court of the United States, involving the validity of the People’s Constitution—that in the mean time all action by the officers under the People’s Consti- tution should be suspended, the Government, how- ever, to be kept alive—and the “act in. relation to offences against the sovereign power of the State” was also to be suspended. Each one of both sides at this interview disclaimed any power or authori- ty to enter into any formal arrangement, but if any thing could be © mutually agreed upon, they were to apply to the proper powers of their respective parties, to have it consummated. Suffice itto say, that each person of both parties were to confer with their respective friends, and ascertain whether such an, arrangement would be generally satisfactory. With this view we were all to return to Rhode Island, and Mr. Whipple was to go to the Charter Government and its friends, to see if such an arrangement would be accepted, and myself and friends were tosee if they approved of such a step. Accordingly, we all (except Governor Dorr, who stopped at Stonington) returned to Providence on Sunday morning, either to complete the arrange- ment or to hear what else could be done for an hon- orable adjustment of the difficulties that hung over our State. Matters remained between Mr. Whipple and myself as they were then left, until Tuesday afternoon, when I received a note from a friend, stat- ing that Mr. Whipple wanted to see me at his house as soon as] could come, as he would be at home in half an hour. I started immediately in a carriage, and on the way saw Mr. Harris in the street, and let him know ‘my business, and he accompanied me. _ Wewentto Mr. Whipple’s house, and after wait- ing some little time, Mr. Whipple came in. We then commenced the business of our arrangement, andafter talking about pererauiing the facts in the case some time, Mr. Whi pple read and delivered to us a paper in these words:—‘ Méemorandum—An action forthwith to be broughtin the U.S. Circuit Court, involving the validity of the People’s Consti- tution, to be tried and decided as soon as possible. The facts to be first ascertained by a suitable com- mittee chosen by agreement of the parties.” . “ Until the final decision of such case, proceed- ings under the ‘ act in relation to offences against the sovereign power of the State,’ to be suspended, exactly in the present state.” “ Untilsuch decision the present government of the State (of which Gov. King is head,) to remain in the full exercise of their authority, and the per- sons claiming to exercise authority under the Peo- ple’s Constitution, to omit such exercise altogether.” “ Provipence, May 17, 1842, The words in this paper italicised are in the hand writing of Mr. Whipple, and Mr. Whipple told Mr. Harris and myself, that the Governor and his Council would on the next day have a meeting of the whole board, when he hac doubt that they would agree to the arrangement, and that all arm- ing, &c., ought to cease. The next morning early, I called on Philip Al- len, Esq., and after a brief conversation, he ad- vised me to see Mr. Crawford Allen, which I did accordingly. ‘ 3 In the conversation with Mr, C. Allen, he ap- pare very anxious that hostilities should cease on both sides. I asked him whether in that case there could be any Repti a he that Goy. Dorr would not be arrested. Mr. Allen replied that he would go and see Mr. Moses B. Ives, and then give me an answer He accordingly went, and soon re- turned, and told me that if Gov. Dorr would go out of town for a few days he would not be arrested, and that probably this course if adopted by Gov. Dorr would lead to an honorable compromise of the whole matter. This whole interview with both of these gentlemen was owing to what took place the evening before in an interview between them and other gentlemen and Gov. Dorr at my house. Lreturned immediately to my house, and soon after Mr. Crawford Allen came. He had a talk with Gov. Dorr, in which he assured him, that if he would leave the State, all difficulties would be ami- cably adjusted in his opimon. To this Governor Dorr consented, andhe and Mr. C. Allen immediate- ly rode away in a carriage without saying one word | e his intention to any other person in or about the jouse. About the time that Mr. C. Allen called on Gov. Dorr, on Wednesday morning, a letter was handed to Gov. Dorr, signed by nearly all the Senators and Representatives in this city, advising him to go out of town, and stating to him that they were about to resign. Upon these negotiations, understanding and assu- rance, I went to the entry window up stairs, and addressed the people ce this subject, and upon these grounds, I thought I had a good right to assure them that an honorable compromise would take place—such a one as would ee theirprinciples. URRINGTON ANTHONY. Governor King has officially recommended to the citizens of Providence to hold ward meetings in their several wards for the purpose of forming a more perfect military organization.

And when such was the condition of those things, 1am. so old as to remember that lands at Yorkville sold for higher prices in specie than. are now asked for them in paper money. This is an unreasonable retrogadation. There is some value to all our lands—and that value is relative. Mr, Coster sold his lot on the corner of Barclay street and Broadway to Mr. Astor age On 00.
