The Whigs, the Democrats, the Tylerites, have all had their turn on the arena. We have "had the Annual Conventions of Fourier- in the field—all from the far west. They are Clay, (whig) Polk, (loco foco) Birney, (black) and now Jo Smith, (Mormon.) The enthusiasm and confi- dence of the Mormons are tremendous. They say | that inthis great race, they will beat Captain Tyler all to pieces. And indeed the Tyler men have yet to hold their great mass meeting pretty soon, if they expect to win the donkey purse. The contest will be severe between Jo and the Captain; but we rather think we will bet on the Mormon. | | Licentiousness of the Party Press. We give to-day ia another pari of our paper a few extracts from the journals of both parties, as illus- trations of the extreme licentiousness of the party press, and the savage bitterness, malignity and false- hood with which they assail the candidates for the chief magistracy of this nation. This exposure is painful in the extreme, but it may not be without a salutary effect over partizanship itself. Look, for instance, atthe whig journals. Mr. Polk is represented by them as the meanest and Ddasest of men—he is called a duellist, a murderer— everything that is vile and detestable. His private character isthe grand object of attack, just as if that had anything to do with his public opinions. ion to him on the ground of his opinions on the tariff—on the Texas question—or any of the other important subjects of political discussion, would be proper and justifiable and legitimate, But the whig press, instead of adopting this course, have been guilty, almost without exception, of the most atrocious conduct. Discarding argument and reason, they have taxed their ingenuity and malig- nity in the fabrication of the vilest slanders, and daily pour forth column upon column of the most filthy personal abuse. Nor are the locofoco journals a whit less cul- pable. In one breath they sneer at Mr. Freling- huysen because he is a religious man, and a friend of temperance—and revile Mr. Clay in the coarsest terms because he is not, they say, a religious man, and a friend of temperance! Indeed, the language applied by the democratic prints to Mr. Clay, is disgusting in the extreme. They represent him as a murderer, as a gambler, as a frequenter of taverns, as a horseracer—in fact, as a low, degra- ded ruffian. And thus the contest will be carried on for the next three or four months. The Ameri- can party newspaper press will labor day after day, with, as the Chinese happily say, ‘laborious vile- ness,” to convince the world, that all the principal public men in the United States are destitute of moral character, and are perfect lepers, who should be hissed and hooted out of society. Is such con- duct not really humiliating to every true patriot? And all this is only according to the “use and wont” of party spirit. Such is the invariable course pursued by the party presses in all political con- tests, from that tor the Presidency down to the election of ward officers. What a strange opinion must the conductors of these prints entertain of the American people, when they suppose that such torrents of personal abuse, of the most beastly and infamous character, can operate upon their independent judgment! And the jour- nals which are most conspicuous in this filthy and degraded work, are the very prints which de- claim most vociferous about decency and respect- ability, and the infamy of using persocalities inthe apers! These journals which are thus repre- senting the leading men of this country as a pack of abandoned ruffians, murderers, gamblers, and patrons of all sorts of immorality and viee, are the very journals which talk so loudly about the iniqui- ty of “attacks on private character”—" personal abuse”—* slander” —* calumny,” and so on! We cannot imagine any thing more degrading— more humiliating—more demoralizing than the conduct of the party newspapers of both sides. These political contests ought always to be con- ducted with decency and decorum. The private character of public men should ever be held sa- cred. This universal system of slander end detrac- tion 1s most disgraceful to the country. Itdegrades us as a people in the eyes of the nations. Nothing can be more calculated than this to lessen us in the estimation of all enlightened and intelligent minds, unless it be the spectacle of such men as Bishop Hughes—politico-religious hypocrites, who come forth and splutter their vulgar abuse on all who pre- sume to tell the truth and chastise their gross mis- conduct. Oppe Watx Srreer Devevorments IN THE Court oF Sgssions —The trial of Schermerhorn, for embez- ziing the funds of the Ocean Insurance Cempany, Wegun yesterday inthe Court of Sessions. Only three witnesses were examined, but their evidence gives us a curious inkling of the way monied cor- portions are mismanaged in Wall street. thief and the recovery of the money. It is with pleasure therefore, that we state, that the thief has been arrested, and nearly all the money recovered, through the agtivity, vigilance, and energy of two gentlemen of this city, who have been recently removed from the station of police officers by our newly elected Mayor. It appears that a few days since another robbery of $600, in fifty dollar notes of the Commercial St. Clair, Michigan, and $30 in scrip, was stolen, for the recovery of which a liberal reward wasalso offered. The inducements thus held out prompted those officers, recently removed, possessing energy and industry,to keep a sharp lock out, and a $50 note of the Commercial Bank of Albany, letter A, No. 1912, having been changed by a woman at Hough's broker’s office underthe American Museum,ex-offi- cer Peter B. Walker suspected that all was not right, and resolved to hunt up the parties concern- ed, if possible. He commenced operations on Monday morning, and traced the woman to the corner of Murray and Washington streets, where she purchased a bottle of wine, and then tracked her to the hotel next to the corner, where it ap- peared she had taken lodgings. Fearing that his presence would excite saspicion, he called in the assistance of George Williams to watch the house, and make inquiry as to the inma‘es, as he suspected it was a place of resort for the well known Jack chee and his female partner. Becoming satisfied, however, that the woman was not the partuer of Cherry, and ascer- taining that an elderly man was her associate, after watching the house until dark, he Jeft, determined to renew his search yesterday morning. After re- connoitering the premises yesterday morning, he thought that there might be something more than $600 under the bushel, and, consequently, his eyes were skinned, and his ears open with anxiety in watching the movements of the parties, In the afternoon, about half-past four o’- clock, while he was passing down West street, he met ex-officer Egbert G. Sweet, and asked him to accompany him to the Boston boat, which Sweet declined, owing to some previous engagement. Walker left and passed down towards the Boston boat, while Sweet remained standing at the corner of Courtlandt and West streets. In a few minutes afterwards, a four-wheel cab, driven by a man named Henry C. Allen, came to the front of the hotel, containing a woman, several trunks, and other baggage. She alighted, went into the hotel, returned with a carpet bag to the coach, and or- dered the driver to take her to the Boston boat. Her appearance, and the quantity of baggage, ex- cited the suspicions of ex-officer Sweet,who called toa friend who had a horse and wagon near by, to bring him up and go in pursuit of the carriage, to see where it went. On pene down West street, and overtaking the coach, a cab passed up with an elderly man it, who told the woman that the Boston boat had lett, but directed her to the Battery Hotel, where he said he would meet her. Sweet passed on ahead of the woman, and going down he met ex-oflicer Walker, but ¢ changed no words, nor were either at that time acquainted with the intentions of each other. On reaching the wharf, the woman accosted Sweet and asked if the Boston boat had left. On being informed that it had, and that it was after five o'clock, she ordered the coachman to drive to the Battery Hotel. As Sweet passed up the street in the wagon he met Walker, who told him to arrest the woman, ashe suspected something was wrong with her. Sweet, not being an officer, hesitated, but finally stepped across to the driver of the car- riage and told him as well as the woman, that they must consider themselves under an arrest, and ordered him not to move from the door or allow the baggage to be taken from the cab. The woman appeared to evince some alarm and desired to leave the coach, but the driver told her she could not take the baggage. She then threatened to call another coach, but he told her she had better remain. The ex-officers then entered the coach, and were about going to the police, when one of them asked her where the ‘old man’ was. She said she had no man, when the driver denied this, and told the ex-officers she had, as he had been with her on Monday and in the morn- ing, and he had just met him going up the street in a cab The ex-officers then step- ped into the hotel to avoid suspicion, when the woman opened one of the small trunks that was inside the cab, took something out, jumped from the vehicle, and was about to es- cape, when ex-officer Sweet arrested her, took her into the hotel, and finally replaced her in the cab. In an instant after, “the old man” came down the street, and the driver gave the signal, when he was arrested by the ex-ofhicers. The man and woman were then searched, when an im- mense roll ef bank notes was found on her per- son, nicely enclosed ina ‘* bustle” that she had used to adorn her person, and which it is supposed she had taken fromthe trunk immediately before she had attempted to escape from the coach. The two were then taken to the police office, where the money was counted and found to be $9,199 in notes of fives and tens of the Farmers’ and Mechanics’ and Exchange Bank of Hartford, Connecticut, thus answering to the description of money lost by Mr. McKie, and within $505 of that amount. The sus- pected rogue gave the name of John Daly. He is about 50 years of age—hair thin and nearly white, which was covered with ashort cut brown wig and a pee of false whiskers was found in his possession, which he had used probably to disguise himself. He appears to be an aglishmaa by birth, and from every appearance is a cunning, shrewd rogue. The By the development thus far, it seems that the business of these companies is entrusted to the | subordinate clerks or other officers, and the re- sponsible directors entirely neglect their duties, until some great defalcation or embezzlement be disclosed. This fact, no doubt, discloses the real secret that has been the cause of the many Wall street robberies and failures—neglect in the direc- tors and other responsible officers. In such a state of moral delinquency, what bank or insurance eompany can create confidence in these latter days of sin, shame and sorrow ? woman 1s young and very good looking, and says her name is Elizabeth Hanson. She 1s supposed to be agirlof the pave that this old rogue has pick- ed up as a partner since his rua of luck, in order to aid him in the disposition of the money which could easily have been changed if they had escaped to the cast. He took the matter quite easy and com- fortable, but the girl appeared much distressed. when they were committed to prison for the night. A carpet bag was found in their possession, but whether it is the one stolen or not,we do not know. The driver informed us that he conveyed this maa and woman, on Monday afternoon, from the | foot of Murray street to the Battery—from thence the man went with the cab to the Pittsburgh pas- sage office, opposite the Philadelphia steamboat Bank of Albany and Catskill, $111 of the Bank of | landing in West street—thence to 40 old slip,where | | ites, Methodists, Episcopalians, Bible Societies, Tract Societies, Millerites, and a Meeting of ‘* Darkies” in Leonard street—al! have come out | in due course, but the greatest event of the season | took place last evening at ‘Military Hall,” Bowe- | ry, which throws all the Meetings and Conventions | of the last month far into shade; and bids fair completely to eclipse even the famous ‘* Tyler din- ner.” At o'clock, pursuant to requisition, a meeting of the Mormonites of New York took place at the above hall, for the purpose of responding tothe “Nauvoo” nomina- tion of their grand Prophet, Joe Smith. Some twenty- seven mi and seven Mormone: were assem- bled at the hour appointed The ladies had all passed the Rubicon, but seemed to take a lively interest in the proceadings. ‘The Apostles looked grave as mustard pots, ut resolute in their purpose of carrying their candidate through. There were placed in the centre of the room one three legged table, with the four chairs, one pulpit, and six gaslights A brother Mormon stood conspicuous in the front seat, and wore along beard, being an attested copy of that of the Prophet's. He was dressed in « mili- tary frock cont, and seemed the presiding spirit of the meeting. Athalf past $ o’clock, another Mormoness ar- rived, with a grown girl about six years of age, and took her place near our reporter. On seeing him taking his stenographic notes, she remarked that she knew it was the “sacred writing,” an‘ asked him “where be had learned?” Our reporter replied he had taken instructions from the red Prophet at Nuuvoo; to which she replied “she new it from the ‘sacred characters’ in which he bad been writing,” and was on the point of giving him a six terly embrace, from which he ungallantly made his escape. A number of copies of the “Prorner,” pub- lished by the Hoard of Control of the Society for the Diffusion of Truth, every Saturday morning at Spruce street, New York, at one dollar per annum Bevin, printer,” were distributed on the table. The arti- cles in it discuss forcibly the Prophet's pretensions to the Presidential chair, and conti “ Woull to God that our citizens, one and all, would take the same stand, and we would then select officers for the good of t*e country. and not forthe especial advance: ment of a faction. Would we could invoke the spirit that animated those who bled for the privilege which our citi- zens as a body seem notto appreciate, and let their descendants—we would then have no oc cord the delinquency of men high in authority, as it is very often our painful duty now—but men world be se- lected with a view to the best interests of the country.” At 9 o’clock a small accession to the numbers present locaced themselves on the vacant seats, when ‘T. Leacu was nominated chairman pro tem., 1. Mrens was appointed secretary: Gannet D. News was nominated pr upon which, The Rev. Banyey Pratt, one of the twelve apostles of Nauvoo,came forward and said, that the meeting was con. vened for political purposes, and such a purpose as would be acceptable to God. It was high time that the people of the Union and land awoke from their iethargy—as the people had been living in slavery for the last ten years They had seen negroes hung without judge or jury— white men hung without trial—Catholic churches sacked and burned down—convents demolished, and 15,000 latter day saints driven from their homes ani! murdered—and this done under the highest authority in the land at Missouri—the Governor of Missouri was a murderer—so was the Legislature—so was their military, who plunder- ed them of $240,000 worth of horses, cattle, and property. Van Buren refused to aid them, and so did the country— and all had failed ; in this state of things they should look tothemselves, ‘The halls of Congress were dripping with bleod, and the whole natienal jepalatnrs were a pack of murderers, for they connived at the foul murdera commit- ted at Missouri, and gave no redreks—they had all heen guilty of shedding innocent blood. ‘The constitution guaranteed the free exercise of religion ; but it was a mockery, as the State of Missouri was backed up by @ pack of robbers—-murder, treason, rebellien, robbery, and plunder, could be laid at their door. He charged these upon them,and upon the editors of the press'who also con- nived at the murders, Harry Clay was also a mur- derer, as well as Van Buren, for he too, in 1839 denied them any assistance. ‘Joe Smith had even addressed a letter to Harry Clay. and his reply was that he would not pledge himself. “The Constitution wa« trampled under foot and they were governed worse than in the days ef Nero, by the political jugglers of the coun- try. He would sooner be a Quaker, und not vote at all, than vote for such men aa Clay or Van Buren He pro. posed then that Generar Jox Smrti be the candidate for the next presidency.—(Tremendons cheers, mingled with hisses and cries of “shut up”) He would vote for any candidate that iv in favor of the free exercise of religious principles. He would even go in for perfect liberty to the man that would worship a toad.—(Lond, vociferous, tremendous applause, and cheers) He prophesied that Washington would soon be a place of security for the cormorant, the bittern, the owl and the bat—that it would soon be dripping with blood, and that the words, Mene mene, teke Jupharsin” would be written on the rnin The mummery of the 4th July in America was a mene farce— a name, as liberty wns dend, and he felt proud that there was left a monument at Boston—to tell the passing stranger that liberty once dwelt in the land; but ite name had only survived— the grave stone was upon it, as it was dead. (Loud, vociferous and tremen- dous applause.) Harry Clay was in favor of slave: and was an enemy to the free exercise of religious prin. ciples. He was tooth and nail against any species of reli gious oppression, whether against the Catholic, the Mor- mon, the Heathen, or the Jew, and to remedy these griev ances, he would vote for and nominate Jor Surri, the Mormon Prophet,” as a candidate for the next Presi- dency. (Loud and prolonged cheers.) The following delegation were tl minated to repre- sent the twelve Apostles, and meet at Utica for further action, on the 234 August next :— Dr. Doremus, E. J. Bevens, John Leech, Leeler Lane, Nathaniel B. James, —— Wikoff, George T. Leech, W. H. Miles, Theodore Curtis, —— Watkins, John Swakum, and Samuel Leaver. ~ Rev. Orson Pratt, another Apostle, then came forward and addressed the meeting, detailing the course of action pursued by Congress towards the Mormonites in relation to their application for redress, on the subject of what he termed the Missouri Murders. A Mr. J. B. Mevwext then rose and spoke at some length on the claims of his Excellency General Smith to the Presidency. After Mr. Meynell concluded, a motion was made to ad journ, but the Chairman begged before the motion was putto say a few words on the subject of the mecting Just le commencad, however, some evil disposed loafer began to play tricks on the gas pipe lending to the room, and the meeting broke up in a very unceremonious man- ner, obliging the worthy chairman to postpone his speech till a more favorable opportunity And thus terminated the first great mass meeting for the elevation of the great Prophet of the West to the Presidency. It is very evi- dent that the contest between the Mormons and the Tyler- ites will be atough one, and it is hard to say who will | gain the leather medal. | lent pro tem., | Important From Sovrm Amenica.—We have re- | ceived by an arrival at New London, the annexed | important letter from a correspondent :— | Port Famine, Srrarrs or MaGEuran, March 18th, 1844.

It will be seen by this recital of the incidents connected with this inte-esting affair, that officers , Walker and Sweet are alone the authors of the ar- | rest, and although the others who are named in the transaction ignorantly assisted in the matter, yet the bulk of the reward should fall to them as a muter of justice and right.

Diary Srarets.—What with the rain one day and the wind the other, in the present state of the Streets, we are in a very fair way of being torment- before our time in New York during the pre- sent summer. Is it not time for the new corpora- tion to think of doing their duty to the public? Have they not already sufficiently gorged them- selves on the “spoils?” Have they not had their heads long enough in the flesh-pots? Can’t they take a little breathing time and think of the streets —the disgrace of New York? | i | Sgconn-Hanp Ciories,—It seems that old Noah is not the only one who attempts to monopolize the old clo’ trade in this city.

This will be a great blow to Noah's fature prosperity. Consvr oF Onpmnvna.—E.

Tue Porice.—Our city is at present overrun with rowdies and abandoned women. Broadway is so infested in the evenings with drunken loafers and shameless females that no person can walk along it without being shocked and insulted at every cor- ner. Assoon asthe stores, which close at eight o'clock, are shut up, gangs of rowdies cluster about the doors, smoking, shouting, and blaspheming. We allude particularly to the blocks from Warren street up to Canal. In front ot several taverns too in the same neighborhood, which are a dis- grace to Broadway, the scene every night resem- blesthe Five Points. On one side of the street a crowd of foreign vagabonds and on the other of native rowdies congregate, and from dusk till mid- night they obstruct the thoroughfare, making beast- ly remarks on the ladies asthey pass, and shocking every ear by their ribaldry and blasphemy. Now, do the new corporation indeed forget— | can they possibly have forgotten, that it was to rid the city of such nuisances that they were elected ?

Benerir.— of the Mormonites to -We perceive that Signor Palme has advertized for a benefit on Friday evening, and from what we have heard of the programme to be presented on the occasion, we can state that it will be a very rich one, indeed, and will probably command a great deal of attention. The last benefit, that of | De Begnis, which we supposed would have been | the last night of the season—was one of the best houses we have seen, and we trust that the benefit of Signor Palmo will not lack either in numbers or popularity. | Mr. Palmo comes forward on this occasion | without the ridiculous mummery or machinery of complimentary committees, meeting at the Astor House, or any other hotel, passing resolutions, | drinking healths, and making a great fuss and gieat | fools of themselves, in order to produce a prodigious impression on the public mind, and extractas much as they can from the public pocket in order to fill « treasury emptied by gross mismanagement. The Signor comes forward on his own merits, modest and unassuming, and pretending to nothing but the establishment of an epera house, the permanent re- vival of an Italian opera in this city, in a style of respectability and excellence never before success- fully attempted here. It is true we have had fre- quent attempts to do this, but none succeeded till Signor Palmo came into the field. His merits are well known to the fashionable and enlightened public. Whilst other managers by their bad con- | duct, or imbecility, or want of discretion, have been for the last few years gradually running the legitimate drama—the English Opera—and every other species of the higher order of amusements, into wretchedness and oblivion, Mr. Palmo has, in one season, established the incontrovertible fact that Italian Opera can exist in this city, season after season and year after year. If any one, therefore, deserves a liberal encouragement, and a splendid benefit, we think Mr. Palmo presents the best claims for those proofs of public favor. Look at the history of our two principal theatres, during the last few years—the Bowery and the Park. They have been characterized by nothing but a series of misfortunes produced by mismanage- ment—want of enterprise—bad judgment—and general imbecility. Indeed, the only theatres that have succeeded of late years, have been the Chat- ham, the Olympic, and Niblo’s, all of which have been conducted on the modern principle of econo- my, attention, enterprise, and energy, without trusting to antiquated reputation that exists no where but in imagination, or the flatteries of fool- ish friends. Mr Palmo has given ample evidence that he unders'ands the spirit of the present time, although he does not make a claim upon the public to raise a fund for the purpose of going out to Eu rope to secure “attractive novelties.” He expects some requital for what he has already done, and it he even should go or send to Europe, he certainly wont come back with aflea in his ear, and without any attraction at all. Mr. Demestrer’s BatLap Somexs.—This gentle- man gave the first of these entertainments last even- ing at the New York Society Library, Broadway: the attendance was not very numerous, but highly respectable. The absent admirers of the sweet simple ballad have lost a treat by not being present, which, we fear, not even attendance at the two next soirées will compensate for. Many of the pieces were encored. The song of the “ Blind Boy” was most feelingly and sweetly sung, as was “ The Lament of the Irish Emigrant.” The Scottish bal- lad of, ‘* Mary o’ Castie Carey,” we feel assured, will become a great favorite among the fairer por- tion of the community. The new national song of of “The Death of Warren” was received with applause. There is little doubt but that on all pub- lic occasions and national festivals, this will be in especial requisition. The next entertainmenttakes place on Friday evening. City Intelligence: Lower Police Office—Tuesday.—TH: Way to Ger a Suit or Crotues axp Get into Prison.—Alexun- der Hirley, of 35 Broome street, purchased a suit of clothes from George B. Clarke, tailer, 122 William street, on Saturday night, va!ued at $28 80, which were to be paid foron delivery at his shop. ‘The clothes were taken home by John Clarke, who accompanied Hirley to his place of business, On fed | there Hirley made some excuse about funds, and asked Clarke to step out with him until he ceuld raive the needful, to which Clarke sented. After travelling about some time, without suc. ess, Clarke insisted upon returning to the shop and ta ing the clothes back to his employer. On arriving there ‘shop was found closed, and the clothes among the re ki th missing. Having since ascertained that the clothes were remove by some person acting as. an associate of Hirley, Mr. Clarke procured a warrant for his arrest for construc. tive larceny, for which he was locked up for trial. Artemprep Murper.--A man named John M. Leech, was arrested yesterday, on a charge of stabbing Wm. Proctor, of 345 Water street. Proctor was taken to the City Hospital, and is not expected to live.

Between | this and Saturday, packet day, there will probably be | more enquiry, and unless the market should be better | supplied with bills, the rates must advance. There is very little doing in domestic exchanges, and | the quotations consequently remain without much altera- ‘tion. ‘The season's business is about over, and the inao- | tivity of summer will soon be upon us. There has been « | very large business tranancted in this city the last spring, ‘nut it has been conducted on principles very differen from those enforced in past years, The great improve- | ment in the currency has enabled the western and southern merchant to bring the bank issues of his own State to this merket, and pay his debts at the most trifling discount. For many years past the eountry merchant from a very remote section was compelled to submit to loss of from five to fifteen per cent in liquidating his liabilities in this city. The same evil still exists to a cor tain extent, so far as Alabama money is concerned, This great uniformity of value in the issues of nearly ail the banks through the country has reduced the rates of ex change toavery low point, and limited the profits of brokerage very much.
