Tnisu Rereay in THe Unirep States.—Sinee the reception in this country of the news of Mr. O’Con- neli’s arrect, and of the dispersion of the Clontarf Meeting, there have been held-several meetings to sonsider the subject, in Boston, New York, Albany. Philadelphia, Newark, and a few other places. The meetiog in this city wes a fair sample ot the others; about 1500 were present, almost exclusively of the lower classes of the Irith, attracted thither more trom curiosity than frem enthusiasm, or even sympathy. The burden of feeling expressed at these meetings a8 been the continued wrongs of Ireland, her right wf self government, and the oppression of the British Ministry. The interest inthe Repeal question is on the de- cline, and will shortly come to a close. O'Connell's notions upon slavery will kill the movement alto- sether in the southern States, and there is too much sagacity and sound policy among leading men of character at the North to raise an issue upon the subject here. But a check, if not a final seal, has been put upon these movements by the new American Republi- can party that hes lately sprung up here like Minerva from the head of Jupiter, in full growth aod complete panoply. The strongest vote ever thrown by the Irish, even when led on by Bishop Hughes upon the School question, was about 3000 But this new and anti Irish party have, at the elec- tion that has taken place here {since the arrival of the late news from England, thrown nearly 9000 votes; and they will control the city at the next charter election, The history of Repeal in the United States, may be read in the history of Troy —Fuit “ium. NEW YORK HERALD.), xt Congress—President’s Message—New ‘and Important Movements. According to all appearavces, the next sersion of Congress will be very important— particularly in re lation to foreign affairs. The first movements o/ that body, at its meeting early next month, will be its organization—the election of Speaker and o! ‘inter—and the reception of the President's mes- vember 16, 1843. supposed by some that a great deal of difficul- ty will arise from the mode of electing representa- tives by general ticket, adopted by several States in derogation of the late law of Congress prescribing the district system. The point in dispute is whether Congress or the States have the absolute right to prescri've the mode of electing representatives I: Congress should sustain its own laws, it will reject the representatives from several States and order » pewelection. This may create a great deal of ex- citement, debate, discussion, quarrels, and con- sumption of tobacco, gin, and gunpowder. The next question will be the election of speaker and prioter. On these questions there must be a warm and a close contest In the House there is about one-third or more democrats. Of these pro- bably a majority are favorab'e to Vau Buren’s no- mioation, If che frien is of Mr. Calhoun and the other democratic adherents unite with the whigr agains! the Van Buren candidates, there may be a close and adoubtful contest. Francis P. Blair will be the Van Biren candidate for printer—who for speaker we know not. F But the most important ‘matter of all, will be the topies in the President's Message.

The evuses which have produced such remarka ble reaulis in these recent e ections, have been re- peatedly alluded:o—they have been felt all over the couatry—and are now beginning to operate on eve- ty election and every popular movement that takes Place. Ia this city, at the very onset, the new inde peadentor “' republican” party, who have organised themselves to correct the corruptions of both par- ties, polled 10 000 votes. Throughout the State, the democratic or Van Buren party, it is true, have re- ceived a majority of about 20,000 votes, but if we tak» into consideration the euppressed vote of the whole State, it will be seen that even the locofocos have a majority egaiast them of over 100,000 votes The leaders of this faction are therefore indebted for this epparent success tothe disgust entertained of the conduct aid measures of both parties by the great body of the people, which has produced adia inclination to go to the polls, until a satisfactory op- portunity be afforded them of expressing, in an inde- pendeat manner, their opinion on the political affairs of the state and country generally. In Massachusetts, notwithstanding the efforts made by Mr. Webster, end the supposed union between him a:.d Mr Clay, the whigs are ina worse position than ever. It is perfectly evident that the people of Massachusetts are disgusted with both parties, whose vote has suf fered marked diminution, whilst that of the third, or independent party, by whatever name it is called, has been sensibly increased, All these elections and their results, tend to one conclusion and elucidate one moral; to wit, that there is a movement epreading and increasing throughoutthe whole coustry—a movement that has been generated by disgust of the corruption and general worthleesness of both parties—a mov-ment that has just developed iteelf, and whose progress Cannot be interrupted by any obstacle, until both parties have been demolished, and congressional, state legi-lation, and municipal reform, triumphant- ly «ff cted.

Movements of the Ameriean Republican Party in the Seventeenth Ward—The work gocs bravely on. The new independent party certainly possesses the essential elemeats of activity. It is determined act to sleep. A compreheusive scheme for agita- ting every ward in the city has been adopted. Last evening the work commenced in the Seventeenth Ward. Our reporter visited Lafayette Hall, a very comfortable and commodious room ina large build ing, in the Bowery, opposite Bond street, and, di rected by a large transparency, which announced that the “American Republican Association of the 17h Ward” met there, he entered the place, and found a goodiy company assembled. There were upwards of three hundred persons present, and all of them of the best class of our citizens—the hon est, industrious, patriotic friends of genuine liberty, and the emancipation of the country from the baneful influence of party The meeting had, however, more the character of a friendly party of citizens met to intereh: with out formality, their views and sentiments t! thar of a form»! public meeting As our reporter enter ed, a Mr. Oakley was just conciuding some remarks on the gross corruption of the city government un- der both whigs and locofocos He was succeeded by Mr. De Le Ree, the popular and efficent mele- dist of the party, who sang une ot his best and most exciling songs, of which the burden was— ves, scvceei pi cumee is Just, ; 4 conquer we must— or die |” Mr. De Le Kee’s efforts have called out, it seems, several other laborers in the same field, and one ot these, a young man named Millikin, was called ou for a song, and responded by singing se: veral verses of his own Composition, and very €x- ceilent verses too, which we intend to print a6 a col lection of American Republican songs, we will issue ia the course of atew days. Alierthe song a col- lection was taken up, and the “‘renv” poured in very liberally. Then there were more songs, the com paay joining hearuly in the chorus. Around the wails ot the room were a number of banners, with patrione mottoes, of which we give the foliowing specimens—“Americans keep that ball @ rolling,”—""Repeal of the School Law”— “Down with Fac ion"—'*We stek only what is right—we submit to nothing that is wrong”—" We have met the egemy and they are ours,” &c. &e — Much enthusiasm pervaded the meeting, and great preparations are to be made for securiug several speskers at the next ward meeting, and we will, of course, report their addresees in full. The meeting then adjourned until Wednesday evening next, and Andrew Surre, the Chairman of the Finance Committee, took his at the table of the Sceretary, with the words, ‘ Come, come, geatlemen, walk up to the captain’s office, and settle.” . We advise the Davis clique to accept the propo- sition thas tendered, as weir Ward Committee is heavily in debt, while the Innes Committee, uader the wise management of Surre, are in easy circum: stances, They can thus shuffle off their responsi Andrew will be enabled to cancel ail de- and square the yards for action in April Alarm of the Democracy—Healing Divisions —Fourteenth Ward—Jack Bloodgood in the charaeter of a Physician. The formidable aspect ot the ** american Repub- lican” party, as presented at the recent contest, hes caused the patrons of Old Tammany to cast their eyes ubout them to heal their breaches, and patch up old dissensions in order to save the Corporation at the ensuing spring election. The Fourteenth Ward, although decidedly demo- cratic in the aggregate vote, hae, as is well known for the past two years, been so spit up and dis- severed by the division between the friends of Ex- Alderman Innes and Ex Assistant Davis, that the whigs last yearelected both Alderman and Assis- tant, and this year the Alderman. In consequence of the threatening aspect of the political horizon to the cause of the “powers that be,” the following Notice was published yesterday, signed by some fourteen of each side of these opposing factions :— FouaterntH Wano—To tne Rat ‘The Democratic Republican Electors ot the 14th W. riendly to the usages of the party, are requested to meet at Dunn’s, 14h Ward Head Quart: corner of Grand and Elizabeth streets, on Wednesday evening next, the 15th inst, on important business, viz., to endeavor to heal tne division now existing in the Democratic family of the Ward. Presuming that from sucha call something of in- terest might be expected for the numerous readers of our sheets, we despatched one of our corps of reporters to the spot to note proceedings The room was well lighted, nicely sanded, com- foriaaly warined, and at halt-pest seven, atter about fiity good and true had arsembied, Colonel Alex ander Ming, ot the “Davis taction,” called the meeting to order, aod nominated oid bluff Jock Bloodgood, sometimes known as John M., one of Davis’s fast horses, for chairman.

G. McLaugh- lia, who has been about ove half Davis, end th other half lanes, buta litle more lunes than Davis, was then nominated forSecretary. He, with great modesty, also attempted to decline, pleading im- portant engegemenis, but was voted down, and, with becomwwg grace, tock the cicnified etauion Some one here discovered that a single Chairman, and a single Secretary, was rather too sinall an ai- fair to make @ Siow in the publication of pro- ceedings, and Hirein P Rowell was nomina'ed tor Vice President, which was followed by the se- lection of Elias Hatfield tor the same place of dis- tinction. Mr. Rowell has not long been a reeident of the ward, and therelore, cannot be classified as attached to either clique Mr Hatficld was of the loners stamp. Lewis F. Hough. the very clever auctioneer, was ulso named as a second secrelary, but ob u-hingly declined the arduous duties, and Ne- thaniel Fiuch, one ot the Iones «lique, was selected in his place. The meeting was thus organized, and there were then abou seventy persons present, in- cuding Larry Langton, Jew Joha, or John Davis, and some ot the chuice spirits of the two couteud- ug tactions, who ecanued each other cautiously and watche every move with as much caution ai if at a game of checkers in Dunu’s |ittie back 1oom, brlow stairs. The call of the meeting was then called for, read and adop'ed, with two nays, Jew Joe being one of them.

Mr. Parks declined and Mr. Prout was nominated, but before the question was pur, Col Ming asked Oid Jack what was the reason that he was induced to resign? Olid Jack relied es tollows:— Gentiemen—1 don’t want to be ontinvaily telking, but I have merely to say that 1am aware thut I wee to bese. lected 98 chairman, and that, too, by men whom I have opposed. and it is with pride and satisfaction, gentlemen, that I acknowledge the high honor thus imposed upon me —such honor as f never can repuy to thuse who bave thus tendered it, as it will always be a debt sanding between them end me Gentlemen, I have been an active man in intestine division, aod Mr. Parks bas recently moved the ward and is without any prejudice, aad, therefore, he 1s better qualified to do justice than I am.

James Gorpon Bennett, Esq.— Oxax Sin— We have another delightful day, much milder than yesterday, the atmosphere being more like that of spring than the middle of the last autumnal month, The duel of yesterday turns out tobe but a flash in the pan. It appears the parties, Lieut. E. R. Thompson, of the U.S. steam frigate Princeton, and Midehipman Throckmorton, of the U.S. Navy, having hada quarrel, agreed to decide it at ten paces ; pistols being the weapons, and the Delaware line below Naaman’s Creek the place—heretofore noted in the annals of duelling for euch purposes. Toey accordingly proceeded thitherward early yes- terday morning, but by the timely interference of Captain Newton, of the U. 8. Navy, the superior officer of these valiant gentlemen, one of the pxr- ‘tes was istercepted on his way tothe ground The duel consequently did not take place, and at Jeast one ot the parties may congratulate himself that he is yet in the land of the living, although his tarnish- ed honor may not be satisfied. The party who had alreacy arrived at the place designated, having waited for some time, ond fearmg an arrest, scampered eff to avoid a greater disgrace than that for which the life of one of them was likely to be sacrificed. The parties and all concerned in this disgraceful affair will, I hope, receive aevere repre- hension trom the proper querter. The frequent recur- rence of such idle ard senseless modes of satisfying what is called “ wounded hovor,” ig diegracetul to the service, and to my mind proves anything else than courage—out upon such humbug—retorm it altogether. i The Fairmount Engine Company have come to the wise determination to suspend their operation as firemen, for seme time, and have accordingly withdrawa their apparatus from active service. — They have aleo appointed a commi tee to present a true statement of the circumstances attenJidg and producing the late diegraceful outrages, by which the peace and quiet of our city was so lamentably disturbed, and its character in the opinion of many good people sullied. I hope for the honor of human nature, such ecenrs will never again occur. There was a tr fling fire yesterday morning in Race street, below 4th, on the premises occupied by Mr. Schenck. It originated in the cellar, and was extinguished withevt doing much injury I am pleased to say that onan! eecurred among the firemen, except the most laudable zeal to stop the progress of the fire; there was nota single fight, aor the symptoms ot any outbreak whatever—long may it continue to be so. , There was another crowded house at the Na- tional last evening, the ** Mysteries of Paria” being played for the second time. There was evidently considerable improvement in the representation of the piece, and it may be set down assuccesstul. It wilt doubtless repay the management, and draw good honges all the week. The Equestrian Trovpe at the Walnut drew a to- lerably good house, but the Chestnut, and for Van- denhe benefil, too, was most miserably at- tended. is : The Baptist Foreign Missionary meetings were continued all day yesterday, aud will be in session votil this evening,when it willacjourn. The closing addrexs will be by the Rev. E Kincaid, Missionary fromBurmah,and will take place in the ThirdChurch, Spruce street near Fifth, until recently under the pastoral charge of the Rev. T. O. Lincola, an elo- quent and pious divine of the Baptist persuasion The Joint Commuitiee of the Select «nd Common Souneil have concluded the purchase of the Lemen Hull Eerate, near Fairmount, known as Pratt’s Gar- den The terms upon which the property has been nought, or the price to be pid, has not transpired. Ic will be a valuable acquisition tothe beautiful pro- verty owned by the city at Fairmount, and the pur- chase will be heartily approved by our citizens. Yours, &c.
