NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Thursday, August 24, 1843, . Onver iy New Yorx.—One of the politi- calp of yesterday morning, in reminding its readers of the election ef delegates for the Tenth Ward, added the expressive admonition, that the respeciable voters should go armed—prepared to defend themselves by force in the exercise of one ot the privileges of citizenship. Is it really come to thist We have been accustomed hereto ore to re- fer to the South as the land of vielence and blood, but in our own e1ly scenes which would disgrace even that soil, have become recently of almost daily occurrence. At the late elections of delegates, every ward in the city exhibited a scene of outrages. Not the slightest obstacle was interposed to the violence of the ruffian disturbers of the peace, and the govern- ment of the mob was supreme. But it is not on oc casions of political excitement only that this melan- choly absence of all law and order is manifested ‘The lamentable truth cannot be too often repeated, that in the city of New York there is at preset not the slightest security of per Secr ape lite, or property, ex- cept that which the individual members of the community Can taemselves provide. A lew ave- nings since, the respectable proprietor of ove of our public baths was ussaulted by a gan’ of rowdies, who torced their way into his establishment, and beat him in the most savage mauner. Oa Tues- day night last enother gang entered a porter house, keptin a very orderly manner, at the corner of 9h street and 6 h avenue, by an individual, whose ad- vanced years would have saved fim from the es- saults of any but the cowardly and brutal wretches who infest our city, dragyed him out of his house, and left bimiordead on the pavement. In all these cases the watchmen were invisible Will nothing arcure thy suthorities of the city 10 sense of their duly? Weil my a respectable ontemporary ip Bos.on indignantly ask—‘‘do they ow these things to go unpunished in New York?” at we forget that the success of the party—the se- curity of the “‘spoil’’—the prosecuuion of the claims of “the candidate’—the good will of the rowdy voters and bullies—all these are of tar greater im- portance than the preservation of the public peace und the safety of th ‘sons and lives of peaceable citizens. There is no help for it. All we have to do is to put our trust in Providence and keep our powder dry. Tue Tammany Hatt Convention tuts Eventne. —The delegates from the several Wards meet at Tammany Hall to night, tor the purpose of choosing the thirteen representatives of this city and county, in the Syracuse Convention. A good deal of inter- est is felt in this meeting, as some movements are anticipated which may lead to results not alto- gether egreeable to some. Hitherto, the plan adopted for the selection of the delegates, has been to deposit in a ballot box the names of the repre- sentatives of all the Wards, and from them those of che thirteen are drawn. This is a fair and rea- facturing—a silent but steady descent ; trade depr: and det . manufactures almost extinct, the pul revenue decreased, rents of land unpaid and unpayable, absentees augmenting, employment forthe artizan, the laborer scarcely to he procured, hundreas and thou- of men standing idle in the towns and villages throughout the country,and, though provisions bog | yet there is po money to purchase them. The great |i ed proprierors are absentee, and employ very lew work- meh or laborers ; and the rich who occasionally remain in Ireland now resort to parsimony, in order to make up for the expenses and extravances incurred abroad. Most of the estates are charged with debts,annuities, judgments Custodiams, and mortgeges—not the result ot overtrading or eatravegance in Leland, but the appendages of @ paw perised cowntry and an unemployed populauop. On all sides we behold beggars, barracks, police, and poorheuses; but nobility and gentry nowhere! In addition to these evils, religious discord is kept alive, and an invidious pre- ference given to Protestants and Englishmen over Catho- lics and Irishmen. Tenants are turned adrift in @ most merciless manner, sometimes even at the point of the bay- onet; entire districts are depopulated, and the poor are driven tothe roadside houseiess and unprotected. In some cases too, prejudice and bigotry assume the ascen daot over justice and humanity, and the Catholic tenantry is banished, to make place for the those of a more fortu- nate and favored creed. My Lord, allow me to assure you that the people of Ire- land are acquiring more national and more elegant tastes than those merely requisite for toe feeding of lean cattle and exporting fatones They begm to think that 2,300 - 000 paupers (as stated and set forth in the House of Com- mon’s rx port) isa strange proot of good governm the part of Great Briiain—they begin to think that i rection acts, arm bills, the rep ated suspension of the cor- sutution, and an inundation of the miliv are not of the beast tests to try the blessings of the British Govern went—hey begin to think that they should refuse t da ly bread, end should scorn to keep in store for their cbndreu jerty-three years longer—they begin to think that these things did not exist be ore 1800, and naturally seek tor the restorstion of their domestic parliament, snd | they must be somewhat confirmed iu their determination | when they find 4 confessed by the British minister thet | the only remedies that he can find are au amended poor aw bill, and wn arms bill, the one founded on the distrust pie, the oheron their degradation. i, | retrain trom entering on the church ques- tion; but We bear omivous sounds coming from England, that “che irish church must be abolishes, and the Proves tunt establishment put down”— words not only in the Lon don cluos, bu: published 1a their papers (against this [at once beg to record my protes'). Nothing, however, would | surprise in this age ef political turpitude, nor should I) wouder if, ai no detun day some British minister would sell the Protestant church, mo der to buy or bribe attempied) the Roman wie This, indeed, the perpetuation of dis ; but the custom of sale and barter n that it would only be another step in delinquency ,only a Jower descent in this degenerate ge of mnisterial immorslity and tergiversation. My Lord, the doctrine sought to be laid down by your lordship, that the duty of u magi is incompatible with his attendance at public meetings, cannot be sustain. ed for a moment. No such rule is known to the law or constitution, and the practice is directly the 1 e— *qually untenable is the position that the duty of a repre- Setative is Conficed to the walls of parliament. The con- trary isnow in the fullest operation in England, where the Strongest supporters of ministers (magistrates too) at- tend dinners, and public meetings on the corn la to collect the sense of the people on this important subject. Here, then, we fiad a rule attempted to be enforced in Ire- Jand that does not exist in Eugland, and Ireland now be- holds a second English Lord Caancelior extending the expressions of one ot his predecessors, who said that “im Ireland there were two laws, one for the rich, and the oth- er forthe poor, and both equally il! admiuistere!.” You, my Lord, proclaim that there are to be two laws, one tor the Eogiich, and another for the Irish, and both, I appre. hend, wal be very diflecently administered. My Lord, | feel at heart the distress of my country, and 1 foresee more calamities; and when Government pour in troops, and strive toterrily instead o1 seeking to redress— at the moment that, within hewring, and almost view of their own officials, the grossest outr re perpetrated in open day by a faction who lately had sympathisers in the Castle of Dublin, as well asin both Hou t Lords and Commons—at the same time that I see magistrates superseded, and threatened with dismissal for exercisin; the ancient and indubitable rights ot the subject, I drea lest | might be called upon to enforce violent, vacillating, or vindictive measures; and, therefore, I will not hold any commission under such’a Government. No peace sonable mode. Butthe Van Buren men, having been studying the signs of the times to some profit, don’t like this good old system this time, and are determined to make a grand move for the election by resolution of an out-and-out Van Buren dele- gation. if this movement succeeds, it will be very unfor- tunate for the successful party. The departure trom the old and established usage will very naturally excite prejudice and dissatistaction, and will be highly detrimental to the cause of Van Buren And such a procedure would be really most unfair—it would effectually deprive the Wards who have come out against Van Buren, of any representation in the State Convention. There is little doubt also that another movement will be attempted. That is, the introduction cf re- solutions in favor of the district system. Thisisthe true, democratic system, advocated and adopted in the Southern States by all sound democrats, It is highly probable that it will be carried in this State, as the Van Buren men, sanguine of success, andde sirous to conciliate the friends of Calhoun, will most likely accede to it. The result of the convention to-night will be very important. It will afford a very usetul index of the future. Atall events, the prospects of fun are bright- ening, and we will have one of the briskest, hottest, fiercest, best-contested campaigns that ever politi- ciavs and the devil shook their sides at as they look- edon. That's certain. Tue Revorvrion In lRELAND—TueE Prospects oF gue Inish Peorte.—The best informed people at a distance fall into a great maoy bluaders respecung the present political condition of Ireland. One ot these blunders, and it is one into which not u few have stumbled, is, that itis only the a herents of the Catholic faith, who are now fightiog the battles of civil and religious liberty on the Irish soil. There could vot be a groceer mistake.

From time totime we have given details of the Electionsin progress, but now the character of so many State Elections is known that we deem it ne- cessary to give the results in a more compact and intelligible form. Ia Tennessee the following members are retura- ed to Congress :— Democrats. Whigs 1. A. Jennson. 2. W. T. Senter. 3. J. W. Black well, 7. D. W. Dickinson. 4. A Cullom. 8, J. nm Peyton. 6. G. W.

In the State Legislature the parties stand thus:— Senate. 14 Whigs, 11 Democrats. House .. «++ 35 Lag Joint ballot, rr 6 “ Although the whigs have carried their Governor and both bramches of the State Legislature, yet Jones’ majority when compared with that of Gen- eral Harrison in 1840, shows a whig loss of at least 8,000, and they have lost their majority in Congress. Ia the last Congress the whigs had $to 5; but in the next, with a dimioution of two members under the new apportionment, the majority is reversed, ard the democrats huve 6 to 5. The whigs, however, having now the majority in both branches of the State Legislature, will be able to fill the long exist ing vacancies in the United States Senate, and thereby fix the complexion of that body. The Kenrecky returns we have already given, but for the purposes of reference we repeat them. They are as follows, showing a great democratic gain :— Demecrats. Whigs. 1. Linn Boyd, 2.

I will not set up private feelings in opposition to alleged public duty. In- dependence is preferable to constrained forbesrance, or timid acquiescence, The case of Captain Mockler, who did not attend any public meeting or dinner, but who was questioned and interrogated in avery summary manner as to his senti- ments on Repe: is too close an intimation of another Lord Chancellor’s conduct (Lord Clare) in reference to the University of Dublin in past times, to meet with many admirers in this country. It seems the grossest outrage on the constitutional rights of a free subject, and casts in the shade all your former political proceedings. But, my lord, you mistake the people of Meath. They have been ever foremost in the cause of freedom—they well recollect the glorious and immortal memory of 1782; and the great mass of the people there are self pledged to seek for the restoration o! the Irish Parliament.

In the last Congress all her five members were democratic, but new they stand six democrats and one whig. Inpiana.—The Indiana State Sentinel publishes the names of the Congressmen elect from all the dis- tries but the 9:h, which are as follows:— Democrats. Whigs. 1. Robert Dale Owen, 4, Caleb B.

This State gains, by the late apportionment, from seven to ten members, six of the seven being whigs, and one only a democrat; but now the democratic gain in the State is very large—for the whigs, in- stead of six, are but two (giving them the 9th dis- trict, which is still doubtful,) and the democrats are increased from one to eight. The democrats have also elected therr Governor (Whitcomb), but the state of parties in the Legislature is pearly equally balanced. The Senate stands whig 26, locofoco 24, their magistrates, though superceded. They possess a spirit that would have done honer to Greece or Rome ip the proudest day of their heroic virtues, and are ready to make greater sacrifices atjthe sbrine of freedom then either a British minister or a British chancellor can ep preciate or comprehend. On these various grounds, my lord, I beg leave to send in my resignation. [ anxiously wish that your lordsbip may preserve the peace ot the country, though the minis try you #ct under seam to have so little at heart her pros. perity. I know the people well. I know they desire peace; and, therefore, I thmk your lordship wili be able lo preserve it.

To the Right Hon. the Lord Chancellor, &c. &c. We have not space at present for the reflections which this excellent lever suggests But we can- not allow the 0, portunity to escape, of asking why the friends of Ireland en this continent are relaxing their efforts? Surely there is now ample encou- regrment to go on, The prospect of Ireland's re- demption looks brighterevery day. We, ourselves, begin to place more fawh in the purity of the mo- tives of the great leader, O'Connell, and are more disposed to believe that he will not give slumber to his eyelids when another administration comes into office. The day has gone by tor ever when any nation, with just perceptions of its rights and a proper disposition to obtain them, can be kept in smissal trom the magistracy, in consequence of nis attendance ata Repeal meeting. Mr. Grattan describes the preset condition of his native coun- try with sueh fidelity and graphic power—points out the social and politica! evils under which she groans w such truth and force—and expresses with such a lolty spirit the sentiments which animate the great masse of the Jrish nation, that we feel peculiar gratification in transferring his letter to our co- fumns.

Acctpent —A colored man was kilied in Phile- delphia yesterday, on the railroad, near the corner of Broadand Chestnut streets Tur Great Fioop.—The insurance steam engine and the apparatus belonging to the Corporation, were engaged all day yesterday in endeavoring to pump the water from the cellars in various parts of ourcity. The sidewalks, curb stones, and streets ia many places have been washed away, and in the easterly part of the city above Division street, the re is scarcely a cellar that has not been overflowed.— The culverts and sewers in the north-easterly part of the town on the avenues, in many places, have been almost completely filled up with the sand that has washed into them, and consequently there is no passage fer the water, and the cellars adjacent thereto remain overflowed. The damage to the streets and private property is estimated at over $200,000, and the cost of repairs to the streets by the Corporation will swell the de.aand for the year to an amount far above the annua) ‘ppropriation. The officers of the Corporation have decided that the city is not responsible for the da- mage done to private property, or to side-walks classed under that head, unless it can be shewn that such damage was caused by the neglect of the authorities in keeping the sewers and culverts in the vicinity in a state to cause such overflow. Thi decision seems to us to be correct, as the Corpora- tion certainly cannot be bound to repair damage done by an act of Providence, over which they have no control. One of the causes that led to such serious injury, by the overflow of water, may be attributed te the fact that the tide was at its height at the very pe- riod on Tuesday morning when the storm had reached its zenith. The consequence was that the mouth of nearly all the sewers became filled with the overflow of the tide, and thus the water thathad descended io torrents upon the city, being unable to find passage through the sewers, was forced over the sidewalks into the cellars. The Street Com- missioner, with his usual activity and intelligence, has commenced repairs of the streets where they are most necessary; and, in a few days, no more signs of the flood will be perceived in our thriving city than there is of the remnants of the great fire district. In addition to the loss of property by individuals, the great fear is that sickness may be produced by the dampness of the cellars, and some unforeseen contagion burst forth among us. One thing is cer- tain that such a fall of rain-water will cause a breed of musquetoes, whose piercing probes and hum- ming music will cause many a one to remember the great flood of August, 1843. From information by the southern papers it ap- pears that the storm commenced at Washington on Saturday, and came gradually tothe north, doing much damage on its progress. This fully proves the position of Weather King Espy, who contends that all north east storms originate at the south- west. But in the face and eyes of that position, we have the additional fact that the storm was at Sa- ratoga alzo on Saturday, and therefore this city and vicinity must have received the meeting of the wa- ters, which calls foran explanation from the wea- ther king. is It is to be apprehended that a very considerable loss will be sustained by the damage and destruc- tion of merchandize stored ia the cellars on South, Front, Water, Pearl, West and Washington streets. One dealer, we have been told, had $3000 worth of property destroyed. .: The basements of the houses in Delancy street, from Ridge street to the East River, are all over- flowed ; in many places the walks in tront of the houses have caved in, and the deetruction of house- hold furniture must be very great. The foundation of the side-wall of house No. 267 Delancey street, was undermined by the water, and the wall has settled down some eight or ten inches. The plastering on the sides of the house and on the ceiling have fallen down, and from present appear- ances it seems hardly possible to save it from total destruction. The inhabitants have removed their turniture for ale 2 3 The low grounds used for farming purposes in the neighborhood of first avenue, are covered with water, and unless it is speedily remoyed, must ruin large quantities of vegetation. ‘The Brooklyn heights have suffered most severe- ly. Nearly ail of the terraced werk has been car- ried away; that part in the rear of the bath house is entirely gone, as well as the grounds of David Lea- vitt, and of Pierrepont. “ The stairway at the foot of Columbia street, is an entire wreck; the iron railing is broken down and buried in the ruins. We have no time to go into particulars at present ; suffice it to say that the ea lire brow of the heights is gone, if we except that part occupied by the houses ef Mr. Hoffman, which, so far, seem to defy the rushing torrent. Passing on to the South Ferry the ruin is frightful, The foot of the rail road is washed away—the houses being erected by George S. Howland, Esq , and Mr. Biake, are filled with water above the basement floors; the vaults have caved in—the side- walks nearly gone. Other parts of the city, we are informed, have suffered equally with the South i his rain eyidently came from the North, skirted he bay and harbor of our city, but did not reach in any violence beyond five or six miles East of that fine on Long Island. Theretore the report of in- jury to the Long Island rail road is an exaggeration. Staten Istanp —At the Narrows, Staten Island, @ printers’ news boat belonging to Mr. Gibson, the collector of the associate penny papers, which was lying near the barrack, was crushed by the Jand slide. The banks were in some places entirely washed away, and large trees have been carried trom the tops of hills down to the beach, and in soine places trees may be seen immersed in water with their tops towering above the surf. The earth fell in on the rear, and aboutsix feet from the light house, leaving a chasm of twenty feet deep; atone tme there was 3 teet of water on the fluor of the house, and had the storm continued one hour longer, it must have fallen. 3 ‘The beautitul embankments in front of Fort Ham- ilton, on the Long Island side of the Narrows, are mostly destroyed. The damage sustained around the different torts is estimated at $5000. The banks all along the Narrows are injured to a great extent. Six houses situated on the shore are either raised from their foundations, or otherwise injured. All the cellars in the neighborhood were filed with water. The house owned and occup:ed by Mr. Gomar, as a boarding-house, was tor some time in a critical situation ; one of the pillars was washed away—~the foundation in one place was forced in—the lower part completely filled with the roaring flood. The female part of the family were with difficulty res- cued from their perilous situation. The river roads are rendered impassable on account of the deep fia- sures caused by the great rush of waters. _ The stages from Richmord, the centre of the igland,started yesterday morning, but were obliged to return,the roads being eo broken up that it was impossible to proceed. The gullies in some places were trom five to six feet deep. Two flouring mills, we understand were carried away—Britton’s on the clove road, and Badine’s in the village of Factoryville. The roads all over the island are reported tobe nearly impassable. A gentleman who came from Dobb's Ferry, West- chester county, yeeterday, informs us that the roads in that vicinity are a sight to look upon. In one place @ gully is formed in the turnpike fitty feet deep and seventy-five wide. The meadows at Hoboken, we understand, were entirely overflowed, the roads much broken up, and a number of the small bridges carried away. The pep ct Hackensack, duc on ‘Tuesday morning, had not arrived at 8 o°clock in the evening. On the New Jersey Railroad, the travelling be- tween Newark and Jersey City was entirely ob- structed on Tuesday morning. Large quantities of the heavy embankments in the deep cut have been washed away, the dirt and stones burying the track in some places three or four feet deep, from the Pa- terson depot to the water station, a distance of a quarter of @ mile, but not, as is reported, injuring the stone wall. The only place where the roils are die- turbed is ut the Paterson depot, where the water has undermined the track fora few feet. A com- pany ot 150 men is employed in cleaning away ihe obstructions and putting the road in order, and in the meantime carriages are employed vy the com- pany, in translerring passengers between Fone f City and the Paterson depot, where the Newar train receives them. (From the Paterson, N. J., Intelligencer of yesterday.) We were again visited with a heavy shower ves. terday morning, which caused a considerable flood in several parts of our towa, The brook leading {rom the Big Spring overflowed along its whole length, and a numberof our streets were again sub- merged toa considerable depth. Many cellars were filled, and more or less damage sustained in various parts of the town. Connxoricur.—We hear from New Have Harttord, that the rain of Monday night was very heavy in each ot those places. The Hartford aud New Haven railroad was not so much dameged 48 to prevent the passage of the cars. We however learn that the downward train yesterday afternoon, in crossing some sand which had washed over the rails, ran off the track. The only mm schief resuit- ing was a small fright to the passengers and some injury to the engine. We could not learn that ary serious damage had been suflered by the New Hee ven and Northampton canal, and City Intelligence. Gone at Last—That arch cyprian, Melinda Hoag was yesterday morning sent to Blackwell’s Island in the “ Black Maria” carriage for six months, in accordance with the decision of Justice Parker. If she arrives there in safety, Mr. Keeper Orser will have to keep @ sharp look out upon her, or she will be spirited away by some of her companions with the same dext»rity that they have rifled the pockets of those unlucky wights whom she has heretofore charmed to her siren den.

BRISTOL :—Dear Sir—One might sup ose sufficient testimony had already been given to the world to establish the superior efficacy ef your prepa- ratien of Sarsaparilla over the many nostrums now vend- ed in this city. But, sir, as my case is a peculiar one, per- mit me to add my mite to the great fund of recommenda- tions of Bristol’s Sarsaparilla. I have been distressed with Scrofula in my head, inter- nally and externally, for several years, to that degree at times I was fearful I should become a maniac. Every thing was dove that could ly be done for me- The very best medical gentlemen in this city were employed. Surgeons of scicnce end skill exhausted their rience on me to no effect, for every plan that could be brought to bear, er that was likely to have any benesi- cial effect on me, proved abortive. Atle T gave up, concluding that I must linger out a mi nd painful existence, little thinking that there was yet acure tor all’ my afllictions. Having meta friead whote son had been by your Sarsaparilla, and whose statement I had the pepers, | enquired as to the fact, and desired to his son—having seen for myself, I then entertained a faint hope that it might prove a benefit to me, and I re- solved to try the virtues of your Sarsaparilla, I have tried it, and that too with the heppiest_and beat of co: quences to my health and comfort. The large and fear ‘ul opening on my head, making a circte of about thre iuches in diameter, is now entirely healed, and the hair growing on the spot the sa me as if nothing’ had ever hop- pened t Thesevere anguish and distress by which I was distracted so much ne, and | am now once more looking forward to the ba ny eg of life and comfort. All this has been accomplished by your Sarsaparilia, and it would be a source ot gee pleasure to me if you should publish this, my testimony of the virtues of Bristol’s Sarsaparilla,to'be world, and especially in this city.
