Polk, the democratic nominee for the Presidency—he is represented as being de- scended from an old tory family, without any of the required abilities for that high office—a rank slaveholder, deeply embued with southern prinei- les, an enemy to productive labor, a tool of Gen. ‘ackson, and one willing to surrender character and independence as a wretched tool of party, and even his name is made the theme of pitiful jest and low ribaldry ; Polka, Pokeberry,and Polecat, thus sinking the dignity, and character and influence ot the press of the country, and lowering ip the esti- mation of the world the very principles of a free and independent and liberal franchise in beha.t of the chief magistracy of this great republic. James K. Polk is not what is termed a great man —but he is a good man, 4 discreet man, a sensible man, free from impetuosity and rashness, a man of clear head and sound political principle—he is very much such a man as James Munroe wag, and the country under his administration would be en- tirely safe. It isin the same wretched taste that we find Clay aliuded to in certain democratic pa- rs—a gambler, a duellist, aed a political black- leg, stee,ed in every kind of vice; a political apos- tate, and an enemy to his country—and this is the man whom we democrats have honored, praised, and admired, feasted and toasted—considered as our leader—elected over and over again our epeaker in Congress, and the negociator of an honorable peace with England. {a the name of heaven why descend to this low personal abuse—why not mam- tain this contest on the principles and doctrines of those two eminent candidates? are they not broad enough? Mr. Clay is in favor of a high pro- tective tarifl—a Bank of the United States—a dis- tribution of the proceeds of the public lands. Mr. Polk isin favor of a tariff for revenue and incidental protection—he is opposed to a Bank and to distri- bution, and on minor points of policy there muy be a fair difference of opinion between them. Why not confine the contest to the principles and views of the two candidates; why minister to base pas sions and pander to Hig paranaalitits by this low and scurrilous abuse? e degrade our country in our own estimation, as well as in the estimation of other nations, by sinking the high character of freemen into that ot low demagogues, and we thus tan the flames of division and disumon and keep alive the most bitter prejudices among citizens of the game republic. — With all the unjust abuse bestowed upon the south and the erratic character and singular views of some of their prominent men, they have a polit cal habit which we might adopt with great profit You will see two candidates ior the same office set out together to address the people on their dis- unct principles, and canvass a whole state in the most cordial and kind manner, without the leust difference personally between them—an evidence of propriety, dignity, and true civilization. th the #pproaching contest thousands may pre- fer ee from personal considerations, and yet vote for Pulk, approving his principles; so many may vote for Clay, esteeming him the greatest man, without reference to his principles at all. Inthe midst of great national prosperity we have never- theleas great national troublea—we are a divided and somewhat distracted people—foreign powers and foreign influence stalk among us—let us be more united, more tolerant towards each other, and we have nothing to fear from abroad. Tue Natives.—We believe that the Natives wish to do right, while they do wrong; but with all the charity that we possess, and all the milk of human kindness for which we are famed, we cannot, where the interest of this great city is concerned, take the will for the deed, and so excuse the young and very awkward aid oppressive city fathers. Their last attempt at reform ia no reform at all. [t is an outrageous and oppressive act. On Wednesday night, some eighty women, all supposed to be of ill fame, were arrested by the na- tives in Broadway, taken to the ‘ombs and locked up. The object ‘of the Common Council is to do away with the immoral traffic by which the fallen creatures live, But isthis the way to do it? isnot the proper plan to close the houses of prostitution which go thickly abound inthis city ? If the natives wish the moral portion of the community to laud them for their conduct, they must perform this tark, which they will find too herculean while the tet- ters of the present police system are about them. The houses alluded to are protected by a portion ot the police officers, who live upon the wretched in- matee, drink their wine, and pocket their money. These houses are safe, so long as the black mail issubmittedto. The effect of the late arrests was to put money in the officer’s pockets, as we sup- pose it did, extensively, by the committal fees. [i so, it was a good business for the officers. But what evil may result from this high-handed meu- sure ? We will tell what we understood did occur, and then what further might have occurred may be conjectured. : Among the captives, as we are informed by a highly respectable reporter, was a virtuous woman, who had gone out of doors to get some medicine for her sick child. She held the doctor’s prescrip- tion in her hand atthe time she was captured, and, we are told, showed it to the officer, who chose to doubt her statement. We are sorry that we cannot give the woman’sname. There is no record of the business that the reporters can get particulars from. All we know is that a number ot prisoneis were dis- charged, after being incarcerated for two or three hours. Now, ifthere was one respectable womanamong those arrested, there might have been more. Ot course there is no meaus of ascertaining the fact, for the arresting officer would not proclaim his er- ror, and a respectable woman would shrink from making public an outrage which branded her as « worthless creature, and threw her into the com- pany of abandoned beings. It is utierly impossible to make such arrests without subjecting decent te- males to a wrong that is horrible to think of ; and tt is infinitely better that all the women of loose character should be known, as they are known, to parade Broadway, than that one modest, virtuous female should be subject to the foul indignity of being arrested as a wanton. We have no right to debar even the fallen the liberty of walking where hey please in public, while they conduct them selves with decency and propriety. Some time ago, a fanatic addressed a letter tothe editor of the Commercial Advertiser, (we think that was the paper,) calling upon the authorities to exclude those who have lost their good name from walking on the Battery. The editor of the Les very properly intimated to his correspoudent that it could notbe done. We question whether such a proposition would have been made under sty other corporation. The next step we suppose will be to exclude these creatures from our churches, lest the i place should be profaned by their presence. — ‘e are very anxious that the immorality of this city ahould be kept in subjection. There is only one way to do it, and that way the Common Coun. cil does not or will not perceive. Itis to reorgan- ize the police department—to sinash the present nydra-headed corruption, that festers in rank rot renness through its whole body. Get a good, et- ficient, well paid police, no matter at what ex- pense. Letthe tenure of office in every depart ment be, dependent upon good conduct and ca pacity, for life. Let every fraud, every connivance with guilt in a public fuoctionary, be punished iv ihe most exemplary manner, Then you have a good basis to work upon—then you will find honest men who will do their duty—then the streets will be uarded, outrages prevented, and the contemptible tarces, like the affair we treat of which are liable to end in groas indignity, done away with. Some little time since, the Princeton ran a race with the Great Western, and of course beat it —its power to do that was well ascertained before the race began. Last week another race was run with the steamer, by the U. 8. Revenue Cutter Legare, and it was egain beaten, of course. We nope the country is now sale, although we are not told that the Great Western rao a race with either of the veasels that so easily beat it; or that it wae in a condition to run such race. On the contrary, we have learned that she was deeply laden, and that she pursued her course regardless of her com- petitora. Isn’t the dignity of the U. 8. Navy com- promised by these races, and the certificates that are afterwards paraded in the papers? We hear of no other navy playing such pranks. Poxty Bopine.—The step taken by this woman’s counsel in procuring the arrest of the pawnbroker Adolphus for perjury, in having sworn that he didn’t go by another name in Germany, is, to say the least of it, an extraordinary step to take. If Mr. Adol- phus did have another name, we do not see how it aflecte his competency to identify Polly Bodine as the woman who pledged the articles stolen after the murder of Mrs Houseman and her infant. Our cuurtsought to protectwitnesseswith a stronger arm They are too otten placed in a worse light than the criminal at the bar. The ‘ ingenuity” of counsel is taxed to make the jury believe that they are the veriest knaves in creation. It a witness, who is called to testity to a particular circumstance, is to have his life’s history raked wp and brought against him, why justice may as well travel trom New York altogether. ‘The more desperate the case, the more desperate the remedy seems to be the principle upon which the lawyers go to work. Mr. Cobb, Lam sorry to see you in this condition.” ‘ “You are, eh—welll aint—1’m corn’d, just asa cob ought to be.” NEW YORK, MONDAY MORNING, JULY 29, 1844. Rowpyism at Honoxen.—Rowdyism has within our knowledge reigned more orless at Hoboken. The rowdies are New Yorkers, who imagine they can commit crime with even more impunity out of the city than in it. It is of no use disguising the fact, that a Lumber of (ay ape pe po will not cross over to Hoboken for fear of being molested there or insulted on board the ferry boats. The question is, how is this rowdyism to be suppressed ? In the first place, it is necessary to have a police officer at the ferries or on board the boats ; and it is also necessary for every person insulted to take the requisite steps to feet the offenders. It only re- quires that a few of the choice spitits, mostly beard- less boys, whose manliness consists in insulting wo- men and children, and in pouring beastly and blas- phemous language into pure ears, and, under the accursed spirit of rm, inflicting personal violence upen those whom they think weak, should be made to sufler it. Three such characters were over at Hoboken last Monday. Their conduct there, as we learn from respectable witnesses, was outrageous. ‘Their con- duct on board the boat was equally so, for we wil- nessed it, and endeavored, with other gentlemen, to reason them into something like decency and 80- briety of behavior. The consequence was a pre meditated assault npon the gentiemen in Barelay street. This outrage placed the ringleader in the watch house. He was committed to prison on a charge of assault, and is bailed out for the present The matter will not rest here. Chere are from ten to a dozen speetators of the aflair who ure deter- mined to have the questioned tested, whether ro’ dies can act like beasts and brutes with impunit) It the law will not reach them, then Mr. Steven beautitul elysium will be deserted, or else its visi- tors will have to go armed to protect themeelves from assault. We think, however, that if all per- sons outraged will take the trouble to prosecute, rowdyiam will be in a short time extinct at Hobo- ken. The present rowdies will go there, but, being there, they will have to behave with decency. A few prosecutions wi'l effect this. Itis too ridicu tous that the fear of such characters should deter females from visiting 6o lovely a place, but it is so Gross Decrrtion ano Outrage —A gentleman holding an important office in the police establish- ment of this city, gave us on Thursday, the follow- tng particulars of a brutal outrage committed on a oung, inexperienced and detenceless girl by » fend in the shape,of man. It appears that a fam. ly named Cartoux, French Canadians, arrived in the city from Montreal early in Jane. ‘The family consisted of the parents and three child: eldest, a girl of seventeen, named Adolpti family, though poor, is respectable. ‘The father i< a saddler by traae, and formerly kept a harne store in Montreal. In seeking for a part of « Mr, Cartoux became ac ted with « I (we suppress the scound name at the request ¢ the police,) who was + ik in a grocery store tt Grand street. This few bad a room ine vacant house in Hester street, and had the letting of the place, Ou seeing Mr. Cattoux and his family, he was desirous thut they should take the house, ud offered it to them at so low arate that Mr. C (oo! a lease for one year and moved in, the y: by agreement retaining his room. He attentive to the family, and as they were in the city, his politeness was gratefully re To Adolphine especially he devoted hinise |i, corting her to places of amusement, Hoboken, Staten Island, &c The poor girl acknowledges that she was vedy much attached to her betrayer On the evening of the 4h of July the two went to Castle Garden to witness the exhibition of fire- works. On returning to the house he acked ber to ‘© into Ins room, stating that he had some fine 38, of which he wished her to partake. Suspect- ing no evil, she readily consented. A large paper of figs was opened, and she ate perhaps a dozen. The villain then began to take liberties with her, and finally, without any resistance en her purt, for the poor girl was incapable of resistance, accom- plished his diabolical purpose. The next morving she was taken with violent spasms, vomiting, &c Alarmed, she told her mother of the even's of the preceding night. A physician was sent for, who on learning the circumstances, asked if any of the figs remained. The mother went to the room of the young man, and found on the mantelpiece se- veral, which she gave to the physician. On exa- mination, it was ascertainad that every one 6f the figs contained Spanish flies, which, a8 our render: probably know, possess highly stumulating quali- ties. They are also poisonous, and have beeo known to produce death. Thus was this poor girl tempted to her ruin, Her destroyer, on beimg charged with his villany, by the almost heart- broken father, evinced the utmost effrontery, and refused to make the only reparation. On learning that legal proceedings were about to be commenced, he fled from the city. If there isa law which can take cognizance of this foul outrage, we trust that the wretch will be made to feel its full ven- geance. 0g The Rev. Mr. Johnson, formerly editor of the Evangelist in this city, and pastor of a Presby- terian church in New Jers ,convisted on his own confession ep acouley ot his brethren, ot practices rather unbeconn a clergyman, hat written a penitential letter, in which he ascri hisdowpfall in part, to the de: asing” influengé of the light literature of the age. If a beardlees boy, just cut loose from his mother’s apron strings, had held up one of Paul de Kock’s novels, or one of Sue’s, or Bulwer’s, and snivelled out that the book tempted him to the commission of asin, We might be induced to pity and pardon; but fora minister ot the gospel, a man set apart and consecrated us a teacher of his fellow men—a light in the world, shining out amidst deep moral darkness, to say that his heels were tripped up by the novelist, i» too provoking. We dare say, that this Mr. John- soa has written and preached against light litera- ture. Jf we could rake together his old sermons, we would find eloquent warnings against the seduc- tions of the noveist, and yet the man who preaci- ed did not practice; the pit that he pointed out as dangerous und to be avoided, he f i into himselt sy his own admission, Mr. Johuson has been a very great hypocrite; we may be unchariteble, but we are more than halt inclined to believe he is now. Astor the blast aguinst light literature, it 1s allgammon. There are unwholesome issues from the press, but we do not believe that Bulwer, Sue, de Kock, and a host of other writers we could name, ever made a man a libertine against his own inclinations. The devil isin the man, and not in the book. Tytexn Meetina.—There was a very respectable meeting last week, at the Apollo, in point of num- bers aud proceeding, and a mass meeting is to come oft daring the present week. There are two dis- tinct set of men claiming to belong to the Tyler party, that band of treacherous, advemurers culled the Conservatives, who have sold Tyler to the Whig party, and are fierce in their determination ‘orua him as a candidate, in order to deleat the Democracy, and thes claim the reward: and large body of Democrats who, feeling that great injustice has been done to his administration, ure also determined to support him, but are willtug to adopt the union ticket, and thus by giving him a chance betore the people, prevent any ultimate danger to Polk and Dallas. An act of duty as weil us policy remains to be discharged by the Demo- cratic party, and that is, to do justice lo the adimi- aistration of Joha Tyler by officially approving his vets and endorsing his administration. This ts net the time for petty rese.tmen &; too muny Demo crate have been vaceremoniously drawn trom the ranks by the power; deteat has followed ; defeat will agaiu follow. Joba Tyler says, “1 have al- ways belonged to the old republican school.” No tmau, we say, inthe Democratic party, has a right to close the duor upon him, but it is the duty of the General Committee to say to him in effect, ‘ we recognise you as belonging to the Democracy ; we approve the cardinal measures of your aduiunistra- don, and are willing to dae with your trends in Woing justice to your course—come in with us aud by u union on principle present a strong and un- broken front to our opponents.” Let this be done promptly. It is the sate and just mode otf proceed- 1g, and is required by the crisis. Throw open the doors of ‘Tammany Hall widely and invite back every man whe hails from the Democracy, ao matter what may be his personal preterences or how long he has been estrayed from his old head- quarters. Not so Bap.—Rambling a little way into the country a few weeks since, we called at the house of a young farmer, who Was something of a poet, a wit, and an odd genius withal. Standing in his door yard, and taking a general survey of surrouud- ing objects, we remarked that he had rather of a funny gate. “Yeu,” said he, “ but one of your city fops hasa funnier one.” On reading some of his fugitive pieces, we 1n- tended tu compliment him by saying that he had a good style. “ Do you really think so?” he interrogatively re- plied, “1 had an idea that my pig yard iad a better one.” Og We are told on good authority that ae spiracy, with eXtensive ramifications, has been tormed tor the purpose of taking Canada by a gud den onslaught, and then annexing it to the United States.

He waited here to see if either party wanted his aid, yet nei- ther party offered a bid. Just as we expected and predicted: a man of talent, without being a man of sense, is useful to neither side.

It appears that there is an amount of about $200,000 of back rent due to the heirs of the old patroon from the nhabitants of Rensselaer co., who hold their lands by lease fromthe patroon,subject toan annual rent Many of these landholders have become sick of paying Utis annual tribute, and anti-rent meeungs have been held in different towns, at which about four thousand rent-payers have agreed to pay no more. The sheritl of the county, Gideon Rey- nolds, Esq, havitty received from the attorneys of the young patroon divers executions and declara- tions in ejectments against the tenante, and im serving the same met with considerable oppesition, ordered out yesterday posse comilatus, which consisted of about. thirty citizens of Troy to protect him in the discharge ot hie duty, and proceeded in carriages to the town of Naseau for the purpose of eflecung service of his papers, On heir arrivalat the town of Nassau, about sixteen miles from the city, they were stopped by »bout one hundred and twenty men. disguised as indians and armed with pistols, rifles, knives, und toma- hawks. ‘They were taken from their wagons and their horses sent adritt on the road, and they them- selves marched into the interior ef the town,» here they were searched from head totoot The papers, tor the obtaioment ang destiueuon of whieh these nock-Indians had taken up arms, were found on he person of Mr George B Allen, deputy sberifl, tor the carrying of which he was sentenced by their Chiet to be tarred and feathered By this time the ce acouise of rioters had increa- sed to #ix hundred, alarmed cap-a pie, determined oresit and obey the orders ot their chief to the ast.
