NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Tuesday, June i, 1844. [Se Next English News, The steamer “ Acadia,” whieh sailed on the 4th instant, has now been out seven days. Great anxiety and interest already begin to be felt in many quarters with respect to the intelligence to be brought by her te our shores. Amongst com- mercial men the news of the cotton market is looked for with great interest. If the prices have gone down, another crash may be expected amongst the cotton-dealers here and towards the South. If otherwise, « general rejoicing will be the result. We shall also have by this steamer the result of the debate on the new currency system, proposed by Sir Robert Peel, which was to commence on the 20th ult. This will be a most important pro- ceeding. This financial system has been projected for the purpose of putting British manufacturing industry in an attitude which will enable it to compete with that of the United States and foreign countries geverally. The progress of this system will be watched with the keenest attention by the financial classes of this country. !f it succeed, as is probable, it will at once indicate the necessity of some change~some great modification in this country before many years elapse. What that change may be, it is impossible now, amid the conflict of parties here, to foresee with precision. But what it ought to be, we may well know—that is the establishment of a paper currency, approach- ing in steadiness and permanence the character of a specie currency. Another point of interest in the expected intelli- gence will be the account of the latest movements, if any, of the British government, in relation to the Texas and Oregon questions. No one can doubt that on these topics a greater degree of excite- ment will be awakened in both countries, than has been witnessed since the war in 1812. The news, therefore, will be very interesting ; and in order to gratify the readers of the Herald, here and elsewhere, we have engaged, as usual, avery fast express, to enable us to put it before them in anticipation of every other establishment in thiscity. Durr Green, THE Warwick oF THE Democracy! We have beer very much amused of late by the various theories which have been offered, account- ing for the recent defeat of Mr. Van Buren before the Baltimore Convention—the nomination of Mr. Polk—and a variety of changes which have re- cently taken place within the bosom of the demo- cratic party. Many attribute these movements and changes to this man and to that man—some to Captain Tyler—some to this accident—and some to that accident—some even to Mr. Butler’s con- duct and that of Mr. Van Buren’s triends. Our own opinions, based on no little personal know- ledge of the matter, is that DuffGreen has had more finger in this extraordinary pie, than any other man in the country. And if we were to draw aside the curtain and give a real history of his movements during the last few years, every person would be satisfied—in spite of all his modes- ty, retiring disposition, and imperturbable spirits, that he has been the perfect Warwick of the de- mocratic party—setiing up and pulling down their great men at pleasure. We may as well give a few glimpses of the facts on which this opinion is founded. It 1s well known that Duff made a good deal of noise in En- gland during his last visit, in relation to certain commercial negotiations which he was conduct- ing, and the object of which was the establishment of a commercial treaty between this country and England for the admission of our bread-stuffs and other productions at a certain rate of duty, in ex- change for the admission of British manufactured goods. The most important of these negotiations was conducted during the last summer, and it was then that Duif was engaged in a very remarkable correspondence with the President and great men of this country, and also in visiting the great men on the other side, out of which events the singular state of things was produced which we have seen result in the rejection of Mr. Van Buren, the elevation of the Texas and Oregon questions into the leading political topics of the day, and the pre- ponderance of the Southern politicians in the nom- ination of Mr. Polk. We know it tobe a fact, that last summer while Duff wasin London, he was very busy in this private correspondence with the President and Mr. Calhoun, in urging the neces- sity of taking that very ground recently assumed in regard to Texus, and pointing out the position in which it would place the country—how it would form a great weapon of control and power over the British government—and that, in the end, it would lead to the overthrow of Mr. Van Buren, and all the Northern set of politicians. It was during this visit, that Duff Green made some dis- coveries of certain movements of Andrews, and other abolitionists in England, on which he wrote the letter to Mr. Upshur, which originated the whole of the Texas movement by Mr. Tyler; that letter being the one communicated by Mr. Upshur to Congress, under the name of a “distinguished citizen of Maryland”—Duff hailing from Maryland at that time; and the writer of which letter, Mr. Calhoun recently in his correspondence to the Se- nate, stated that he had not been able to ascertain Horace Greeiey on Poutricat, AriTHMetic.— Mr. Philosopher Greeley is a mas of multifarious accomplishments. To his other qualifications as financier, moralist, Fourrierite, Socialist, Philoso- pher, Christian, vegetable eater, and bran-bread destroyer, we can now.add that of political aritn- metician of the most accomplished kind. He has recently taken a trip to Utica, and on that journey he has figured out the result of the ensuing elec- tion next fall in this State, and settled it for the whigs beyond the possibility cf a doubt. Here is his calculation: — Locos. Chemung... 900 Clinton . Delaware . Greene. Herkimer . Montgomery . . Onei Livingston Monroe. . New York. Niagara... . S2SSESESEESE28 Total. Whig maj. . 100 -27,200 Onoudaga... : Net Whig maj... . .20,200 oe . . 100 Ont 3 1,400 Doubtful.

Yates, Wyoming .. Total Of all sciences in this age of philosophy and figures, that of political arithmetic is the most haz- ardous and uncertain. The utmost that can be eflected is an approach to accuracy in all such cal- culations as that which we present. The result at which the philosopher arrives is remarkable enough, claiming a majority of not less than 20,000 for Mr. Clay in this State ; a larger majority, we believe, than it gave to General Harrison, with all the ad- vantages in his favor and against his opponent. There is, it must be admitted, a great deal of doubt and hesitancy on the part of many as to the strength which the whigs may be able to muster in this State. The abandonment of Mr. Van Buren is calculated upon very largely by the Whigs, as being decidedly in their favor, to the extent of many thousands of votes. Now, the most active and zealous of the friends of Mr. Van Buren positively maintain that such will not be the case at all ; and that their party will present a greater degree of unity under the nomination of Mr. Polk, than it would rm captured on the coast. Very Late From Gaenapa.—We learn froma gentleman who came yesterday in the Star, Capt. i Pitman, from St. Croix, that a British brig had ar- | rived at Grenada, the captain of which stated that he had beengboarded by a piratical vessel, bateau rigged, the crew of which took from him all the | provisions and water on board, they finding nothing | else worth taking. | This pirate was seen off St. Croix on the 27th ult., and the Governor immediately ordered a brig of war, noted for slow sailing, to pursue her. He also offered to fit out the Star, and pay all damages, to join in the chase. This was refused by Captain Pitman, in consequence of his commercial en- gagements. On the Star going out of St. Croix the pirate gave chase to her, which she kept up for two days, and then gave it up as a bad job.— Where were our cruisers all that time? Haven’t they authority to catch pirates? We also learn that the British schooner-of-war, Pique, had arrived at Grenada with two slavers, Watt Srresr Surry News. —We take the fol- lowing from the Journal of Commerce and Courier and Enquirer of yesterday :— Axnivep —Br. schr.

Dear Sin i— * Tt has been a matter of wonderment with me for a length of time, why you do not establish a regu- larand permanent correspondent in this city, the great head-quarters of political intrigue and intelli- gence. The immense circulation of the Herald in this city and vicinity, together with the daily in- crease of its anxious readers, will, in my opinion, amply repay you for the expense of sending some competent person here, who, during the appreach- ing season, can devote an occasional hour in the exercise of his pen upon matters and occurrences appertaining to this locality. Will Mr. Bennett be- stow a thought upon it ? The leading, petiuiaiene here, are in a perfect quandary. Neither party appear repared for ac- tion in relation to State matters revious to the recent Convention at Baltimore, the Whigs felt sure of the State and Nation. They are evidently as much disappointed at the defeat of Van Buren as the Locos are. They are now compelled to countermand orders, and conduct the Presidentia! engagement upon different plans {rom which they had anticipated. All their concerted movement: with salt, to Siffkens & Ironsides. We give these two extracts not only to show the incorrectness of the Wall street papers in their ship news reports, but to do justice to Capt. Dawe of the Peri at the same time. We learn from Capt. D. himself, that our report is perfectly correct and that that taken from the Journal and Courier is al- together false. He states that every facility to ob- tain the true report from the vessel was extended to the ship news collectors and always will be. But even if the collector had been refused by any person on board every information relative to her, is that any reason why the public should be mis- led and deceived? If the collector understood his business, he could easily have obtained a correct report of the Peri which would have saved him the trouble of publishing a garbled one like the above. Will the merchants remember this? New District Atrorney.—Yesterday afternoon the County Court elected Matthew C. Patterson, District Attorney for the City of New York. He had 18 votes, Judge Inglis 8, blank 2—the alder- man of the 4th, 6th and Mth were absent, also the Recorder. Mr. Patterson is a very clever, talented and re- spectable man—always a thorough-going whig and under any other circumstances. One of the most remarkable items in the caleu- lation of Mr. Philosopher Greeley, is that which gives to Mr. Clay a majority of two thousand in this city, without the slightest hesitation on the part of the arithmetician. Now, to any man at all acquainted with the politics of this city, it must be evident that thisisa great mistake. We think it extremely doubtful whether Mr. Clay will get a majority at all in this city. Such changes are in progress, and the events of the next few months may so alter the complexion of the case, that it is utterly impossible to predict the character of the result. ltis just as Jikely that Mr. Polk will carry a majority, as that Mr. Clay will gain one. Then, again, what influence, and what effect may not the Native American association here, have upon the result of the Presidential election ? It is not pro- bable that they will give up their organization, and abandon the field in the fall; and if they should run, strange results may take place in the election here. Atall events, although the chances are de- cidedly in favor of Mr. Clay, as matters now stand in this city, yet, we would advise all his friends to beware how they bet on majorities. It is an extremely doubttul and hazardous contest, and there is no probability that either of the candidates will carry the State of New York by a majority of 20,000—nor of 15,000—nor even of 10,000—perhaps not by a greater one than 3000 throughout the State. It is going to be a warmer fight than many imagine. This contest, too, will be conducted on mea- sures and principles, rather than on men. The hack politicians, and newspaper editors of the two parties are talking, to be sure—are talking a great deal about ‘‘duelling,” and “blood,” and “* gambling,” and attributing all these offences to both candidates; but the great mass of the people have become disgusted with that kind of election- eering, and decide according to the dictates of common sense and reason on the merits of the principles represented by Mr. Clay and Mr. Polk respectively. It is utterly disgraceful to observe the presses, on both sides, teeming with personal vituperation, and atrocious private slander—about card-playing, and duelling, and other gross offences. And this trash, too, is chiefly poured forth in the columns of the papers tliat pretend to be excessively pure, and re- spectable, and moral, and high toned—in this case, as in others, hypocrisy going along with the greatest disregard of the laws of decency and morality. Our Crry ArstnaL.—We perceive by the pro- ceedings in Congress, that the Military Committee by any record in the Department of State. | While Duff was in London he had frequent in- | terviews with Sir Robert Peel, Lord John Russell, | Sir John Easthope, and other distinguished states- men, and in his communications to them, gene- | rally gave the same views of the position of the | democratic party in this country, and what their movements would be, that we have recently seen realized in the preponderance of the Texas and Oregon questions, and the defeat of Mr. Van Buren as acandidate for the Presidency. We have no doubt that those statesmen and news- paper writers, who ridiculed Duff while in London, and making those revelations, will now be disposed to regard him with a great deal more respect, and ook upon him as one who wields a wand almost as powerful as that of the enchanter in the Eastern table. We might go into the detail of a number of facts —some of them highly amusing too—showing how Duff played his cards in London—how he got ac- quainted with all the great men there—how he talked with them—how he picked up one Wikoff —how he made arrangements with him to start a new paper—how they quarrelled—and how since that time Duff hes been very busy in Washington, and has at last completed the project which he commmenced in London, in giving a new direction to the action of the government on the Texas and Oregon questions, and by the aid of a curious com- bination of circumstances, prostrating Mr. Van Buren, and putting in his place Mr. Polk, of Ten- nessee, under whose Presidency—(ehould he be elected)—Duff Green will be one ot the most ex- traordinary men of the day, and have more influ- ence than any other politician in the field. But we let the curtain fall for the present Tur Ipa.—This little steam yacht made a détour through the upper bay on Saturday afternoon,touch- ing at Castle Garden, the U.S. ship North Caro- lina, and Governor's Island, at which places she was visited by the officers and citizens generally. She is well worth a visit, and will be anchored off the Battery in a day ortwo, where she can be seen ‘This afternoon she iy to convey General Almonte, the Mexican Ambassador, and suite, to the North Carolina, where he will be received with the usual honors. Musican.—Signor De Begnis had a good benefit last night. Borghese was in capital voice. Korpo- nay and Madamoiselle Desjardins gave great satie- iaction ro a fashionable audience A. new debutante in vocal science, Madarmoise\le have before them the sale of Fort Gansevoort, in this city, the proceeds of which are to be devo- ted to purchase from the State the site for a fort on Staten Island, at the Narrows. This is an import- ant question for the interest of our city, as the pro- ceeds of the sale of the property at Staten Island, are to be applied towards the erection of a new Ar- senal in this city, such as its necessity demands — We trustour members of Congress will look after it. Tne Beauties or Hosoxen.—Every day there is something added to this beautiful spot to render it more attractive. Near unto the Congress Rock, in the Elysian Fields, there is a neat house kept by a colored person, who has prepared for those who visit him, as good a basin of turtle soup, and many other equally good things, as the most fastidious could desire, accompanied by every degree of at- tention and civility. The house 1s most admirably situated for privacy and retirement—here females and young children may enjoy themselves with the the fine view on the green sward,with perfect free- dom from the annoyance of the numerous gangs of rowdies that so frequently visit other parts of this delightful spot. We know of.no place we can so heartily recommend to the attention of families who are desirous of relaxing occasionally from the toil and trouble of city lite, than this. Give ita trial, and as the old saying is, ‘one trial will prove the fact.” PrESENTATION OF AN ELEGANT Sut.veR Prrcner.— The members of Columbian Engine Company, No 14, of this city, through William Tolfree, one of their members, presented an elegant embossed silver pitcher, manufactured by Marquand, to their foreman, Henry B. Venn, last evening. It is a beautiful specimen of workmanship, containing the following inscription—“ Presented by the members of Columbian Engine Company, No. 14, to their | Foreman, Henry B. Venn, asta testimony of*res- pect.” It was manutactured during the recent ab- (sence of Mr. Venn to Baltimore, with Company, No. 22, and was presented to him without any previous notice. More Imaicants.—Another salmon was caught yesterday in the harbor, sentto the Clifton house, ind served up to dinner in Pierris’ best style. We have no doubt but some great tide of emigration has set in among the salmon down East. We ex- pect more of such visiers soon. Accipent.—Yesterday morning, between the sours of 10 and 11. A. M., a little girl, about four a friend of Mr. Clay. We rather think he will make a pretty good public officer. New Mops or Raisine THz Winv.—Yesterday we received the following delectable epistle, with a demand for $20 in hand, and more hereafter:— New Yorx, June 9th, 1944. Exraaonpinary Case o Cuim. Con, One of the smost distressing, painful, and heartrending cases that ever occurred, recently happened in this city, the details of which, according to our custom, we hasten to lay before our readers before any of our contempora- ries, suppressing only the names, till the injured party redress through the law. Anne Bunkum, the wile of W. Buukum, to whom she had been married seven years, one of the most lovely, amiable, and heretofore thought the most strictly virtuous of the fairest part o! God’s creation, for some time past has been receiving tht attentions of an eminent and opulent counsellor-at-law, of this city, who, teneath the mask of friendship and kind- ness to the husband, who has been for some time involved in mercentile embarrassments, seduced the affections of this lovely creature from her confiding, affectionate, and tender husband, This is rendered more distressing by the lawyer being of the same stature as the merchant, und atwentieth cousin to his wife. To-morrow we will give a history of the arts by which this man, under the cloak of the holiest ties that man can proffer to man, has destroy- ed the household gods of his own brother and cousin. Yours, &c. A. B.C. G. SMITH. J. G. Benvett, Esq.— If you desire a full report, leave me an answer at the desk between tl nd 4 o’clock. and at 7 o'clock you can have the balance, one haif of the payment ($20) down, and the balance when the legal proceedings are com menced. Ifyou do not wish it, let me know, so I can give it to some other paper, Yours, ke. A. B.C. G. 8. J.G. Bexnert, Esq. According to the pious request of A. B. ©. G. Smith, of the family of the{Smiths,we hereby annex our check on the Grand National Bank of Coney Islas :— New Yorn, June 10th, 1944. ‘Po rue Casmien oF te Gnanp Bann ov Conny Istanp:— 1, — Please to pay to any of the Smiths, or the family of the Smiths, on their order, the amount of twenty dollars in the legal currency of ‘the Grand Everlasting Sand Bank of Coney Island, and charge the same to PETER FUNK. Josern CramsHecr, Esq ‘TueatricaLs.—The varying fortunes and move- ments of theatricals in this city are quite amusing. Look at the Park Theatre—every now and then the price is raised to a dollar and then down in goes again to fifty cents. This fluctuation in prices cer- tainly has a very bad effect. The same thing is done at the Bowery—one time the price there is a sixpence and then it is put up to a quarter, and sometimes as far as fifty cents when Hamblin gets the papers to puff Mrs. Shaw’s extraordinary talent. When the Park puts up its prices,itis generally done on the pretence of the vast expense in procuring some star who has not been seen for years, as Macready, forinstance. Well, what is the effect ? A few good houses perhaps, and a great many bad ones to a certainty, People will not submit to this at the whim of a manager or the avarici- ous desires of a treasurer. But look on the other hand at the Chatham, Niblo’s, Vauxhall, and the Opera. The steadiness of the prices and their graduation to the talents of | the company and the character of the entertain- ments give stability to these places, and they pros- per. The vacillating conduct of the Park and Bowery resembles that of a foolish and whimsical! speculator, sometimes up and sometimes down— whilst the steady course of the other theatres is | like that of the prudent and successful man of | business, who has his constantand regular run of | patronage. Cuatuam Trearre.—Mr. Daverna, the proprie- | tor of this popular place of amusement, deserves | every credit for his endeavors to make this house | what it oughtto be—respectable, airy, and comfor- | table, and, at the same time, aflording such attrac- | tions as are worthy of witnessing. The talent en- | gaged too, issomething morethancommon., There | is that pleasing vocalist, Miss Reynolds, who, this | evening for the second time, appears in the charac- | ter of Jack Shepherd, in a drama founded upon | Harrison Ainsworth’s novel of that name; and also the Comic Singer Winans; the old favorite of the minor boards, John Sefton, and a host of others | besides. In addition to which, there are those pleasing dancers, Miss M. A. Gannon and Mr. D. L. Carpenter. It is to be hoped that such exertion will meet that encouragement it deserves. Vauxwaii.—This very agreeable summer theatre has been visited with a perfect flood of success during the past week. Mrs. Timm, Mr. & Mrs. | Walcot, and Miss Horn, have, of course, drawn their old admirers after them, and the entertain- | ments offered by them have been varied and very attractive. The saloon, the gardens, and entire es- tablishment present the evidences of good taste and good management, and those concerned in the en- terprise have certainly succeeded in making a very pleasant addition to the summer amusements of our city. Mr. Dempster’s Baap Somerrs.—This gentle- man is about to favor the ballad loving people of New York with a couple of evening’s entertain- ment, the first of which takes place this evening at the New York Society Library, and judging from the programme, we have little doubt but what they ic for “using up little Van,” are knocked into the shape of a“ three-cock’d hat,” for the Southern Locos have “used him up” to a charm, themselves. He will now infact, remain in ‘‘dignified retire- ment.” It is now pretty generally conceded that the State of New York must decide the Presidential question; and in casting about for candidates for Governor, both parties are canvassing the whole ground in search of the men who may be consider- ed the strongest, or in modern parlance, the most “available.” Neither party are united upon any one of their men. The Whigs pretty generally ac- quiesce in the nomination of Mr. Fiilmore, as dic- tated to them by Thurlow Weed, “the best of men!” But a large portion of the higher order prefer Mark Sibley, Daniel Cady, Samuel Stevens, Gulian C. Verplanck, or Nathaniel P. Tallmadge, whilst others of u more “Native American” dispo- sition, insist upon a candidate upon whom they can rally with more enthusiasm, and for whom they can bring into senate the efforts and means so successfully employed in 1840. They want either Willis Hall, A. B. Dickinson, Morris Franklin, Thurlow Weed, (to catch the Irish!) John A. Col- lier, Samuel Works, Joshua A. Spencer, or old Harry Livingston. The Abolitionists would unite with the Whigs upon Mr. Bradish, for Governer, but they refuse to go the Clay electoral ticket; al leging that they cannot support a man who is the ity impersonation of both slavery and duelling.— If they adhere to this determination, they will man- ifest more consistency than they ever before ex- hibited, and will prove tothe great body of the people that their professions and pretensions are pure and patriotic. The coming election will test their sincerity more than any other, and by adher- ing to Birney, will obtain a foothold in the affec- tions of the people, which will remain indelible — But should either Clay or Polk receive, their, sup. port, the dissolution of their organization will be Inevitable. Well, the democrats or locos, are in no better condition Indeed, from the bitter, angry, sarcas- tic, quarrelsome conduct of both the Argus and Atlas, it is evident that there is a deep seated ma- lignity existing between the old hunkers and barn- burners. The Atlas being the organ of Young Hoffman, Flagg, Dix, Barker, &c., and controlled by Cagger, Colvin, & Co. possesses an influence at head qnarters—hacked by the Evening Post, Catskill Recorder, Utica Democrat, Cayuga Toc. sin, &c. &e.—which will go far, if not qui teat the renomination of Governor Boue A this section, are all the disappointed office seekers inviolably: attached; and they will sttaggle wich the desperation of demons, to overthrow the reign- ing thre Be They have already attempted to en- list Silas Wright into their service, and are now endeavoring to induce Mr. Van Buren to allow them the use of his name as the democratic candi date for governor. But they will hardly sueceed in this operation, for Matty is well aware of the feeling still existing against him, for abandoning the state after a three months service in that capa city, heretofore. And the office holders, the little: knot of Tylerites, identified as they are, with the Argus, Plebeian, Poughkeepsie Telegraph, Oneida Observer, Rochester Daily Advertiser, Troy Budget, Cayuga Patriot, &c. &ec. are “moving heaven and earth” in favor of Bouck. At present, it is difficnlt to conjecture as to the result. I have heaé it intimated that Bouck will imitate Van Buren, and authorise the withdrawal of his name, when it is discovered in convention, that the per tinacious adherence to it, may distract the party— in other words, he will be willing to ‘ sacrifice” himself, rather than that the party should be sacri- ficed through him. This would be, indeed, mag- nanimous—an act of self-immolation equal only to that recently committed at Baltimore. J hearti- ly commend the governor for the intimation ; but it is really doubtful whether Croswell wiil allow his agricultural excellency to commit such an act ot political suicide, because the law term of his appointment as state printer will be drawing to a tone in a year or two, and with him that question absorbs Siothate in the coming election. | The attempt made some three months since to remove Mr ‘Bateman, our worthy sheriff, trom office, has proved abortive. The complaints against him, were made by two or three everlasting office seekers, pretended whigs of his own party, whose only reason for throwing the matter before the go- vernor, as every body knows, was their rejection as sherifl’s deputies. Governor Bouck acted wisely and manly in discharging the complaint. Every disinterested man otf all parties, highly commend him for it. A fire-brand has recently been thrown into thr Whig ranks, which, if not speedily extinguished, will excite a disastrous blaze. It is well knowy that the Whigs have a fellow-feeling with the Na- tive Americans. Many of the papers have boldly coincided with the Natives in many of their mra- sures, and particularly with them in relation to the Naturalization laws. A few dayssince, the Daily Advertiser, a Whig paper in this city, avowed itselt in favor of the twenty-one year probation. Thur- low Weed immediately caught up the paragraph, denouncing the preposition with real anti-masonic vengeance, and in nearly a column of matter, eulo- gised the Catholic Irish'in the most exalted man- ner. The names of Bishop Hughes, and other Irish citizens, in connexion with the Schoo! question, formed the ground work of his remarks. Weed adheres to the side of the Catholics with wonderful tenacity. And jas nine-tenths jof the Whig party, who make any pretensions at all to religion, are decided Protestants, 1t is evident that they will not support a man who so openly advo- cates the Catholic interests as Weed does. He will either be compelled to abandon his position as editor of the Journal, or fully and unequivocally renounce his Catholic preferences. Something must be done, too, before the pending political contest rages more spiritedly . The democrats held a mass city meeting at the Capitol on Thursday evening, intended as a re- sponse to the national nominations. It happened very singularly, that Mr. H. K. Smith, a state de- legate to the Baltimore Convention, was in the city. He addressed the meeting ; but instead of discoursing concerning Polk and Dallas, he deli- vered a touching elegy upon the late (political) Mr. Van Buren. Butler, the chief mourner at Baltimore, came in for a full share of praise and patriotic devotion, in so generously yielding his patron for the good of the party. (g-It has since been r marked among the sly ones, that Butler must be taken up for Governor, to counteract the religious influence which will be brought to bear on the oth- er side, in favor of the Kev. Theodore Frelinghuy- sen. If we don’t have an exciting election, then the fault will not be with the politico-religious por- tion of the wire-pullers of both parties. Yours, with respect, Ww. i.
