NEW YORK HERALD.| New York, Thursday, August 1, 1844. News rrom Evrore.—The Caledonia is due to- day. She sailed from Liverpool on the 19th ult. and will, therefore, bring fifteen days later ad- vices. State of the Country—The Presidential Campaign. This country exhibits at present, on all hands, evidences of a degree of prosperity never surpassed in the history of the republic. Business, in all its infinite ramifications, is steadily increasing—our commerce with foreign countries is rapidly aug- menting—and the entire Union presents the cheer- ing and hopeful aspect, of one vast harvest-tield of successful enterprise, industry, and tuil. The excitement, produced by the riots in Phila- delphia, has ceased, and there are gratifying indi- lessons, so impressively en- forced by these melancholy and disgraceful outbreaks, have not been disregarded. Public sen- timent has acquired a healthier and sounder evils of religious animosities, whenjallowed to mingle with the affairs and duties of citizenship; and the danger ot delaying for one instant to crush the slightest manifestations of mobocrucy, has been rendered se fully apparent, that there is little danger in future of lawless popular violence being permitted to exercise even momeutary sway. The legal investigations in Philadelphia, and the consequent arrests of ring- leaders of the mob, have produced a salutary effect, und there 19a very perceptible improvement in the . cations that the tone with respect to the terrible tone aud conduct of the organs of the “ native” party there. ing ati | prevail hend any outbreal Altogether the country presents, at this moment, in the remarkable degree of peace, prosperity and good order, which universally prevail, asignal exam ple of the safety,happiness, and glory of a free and The contrast which the social condition of the United States presents to that of Great Britain, is of itself sufficient to settle the question of the infinite superiority which republican institutions possess over the opprestive oligarchies ot the old world. Every steamship equal system ot government. which reaches our shores from England, brings ap- palling details of the ravages which murder, vice, insanity, poverty, despair, and all the crimes and evils which attain such fearful magnitude in such asvcial system, are producing every week. We do think that every candid and unprejudiced ob- server, must be forced to admit, after an examina- tion of the marked contrast which the state of society in this country presents to that in Great Britain—-the most favored and highly civilized of European nations—that that community enjoys the greatest amount of human happiness and prosperity, in which every individual posseases the same civil rights and privileges as his neighbor. With a government of such territorial vastness—with a population so varied in its clia- racter, and much of it far remote from the central seats of government, engaged in extending into the wilderness the boundaries of civilization, it might be sapposed that often, law and order would have a hard struggle,to maintain universal supre- macy. But it is not so. In the remotest settle- ment, where the solemn old woods ring with the sturdy blows of the pioneer, the simple but su preme control of American free institutions is ex- ercised. Peace, order, civilization, ard liberty thus go hand and hand together—the wilderness resounds with the cheerful hum of industry— and the American freeman, in full possession of all the emancipated energies of his nature, owing allegiance, and submitting to none, but God and his country, goes forth, wherever through- out our broad territories he finds an inviting and appropriate sphere of industry and enter- prise, effecting ina year the work of a generation, and in a quarter of a century, more than has been ever done in an age, under the oppressive dynasties of Europe. Nothing, perhaps, is!more indicative of the pros- perous state of the country, and also of the growth amongst the people, of habits of calmness and stn bility of thought and action, than the singular ap»- thy which pervades both the great parties on the subject of the Presidential election. Those who recall to memory the fierce politica! excitement of 1840—the violence of both parties— the follies, the absurdities, the revelries, the cov- flicts, which characterized that campaign, ca hardly realize the idea that in the brief period ©! three years, such a change could come over th: spirit of the people. But the truth is, the industri ous und intelligent classes of the people have di: covered that time and energies expended in clec tioneering, uniformly produce about as profitab! results as that “‘ sowing of the wind,” which th: wisest of men tells ua enables the conductor of th intelligent process to “reap the whirlwind.” People are too busy, and too prosperous to engag in the follies and violence of a political campaign To the beggarmen of both parties—the wandering minstrels and itinerant mendicant oratore— the lazy, worthless followers of the camp, who subsist on plunder and pillage—to these, this season, is leftthe work of electioneering. As for the prospects of the respective candidates, they remain in pretty much the same obscurity and uncertainty as involved them after the nomination at Baltimore. The final accounts from Louisians: have materially altered the complexion of affairs in that quarter, so as to lower considerably the tri- umphant tone of the whigs, and to render it proba ble that the chances of Mr. Clay and Mr. Polk are much more equal in the South than some people imagine. The whigs are crowing a good deal over the discovery of the “ conspiracy” of the Evening Post and its little clique of the seven wise men of Gotham, with the ‘‘arch magician” himself as their “confidential” adviser. But that move ment will, after all, exercise -no very impor- tant influence on the general action of the democratic party. It will, ot course, killthe clique alluded to, but no very serious defection is to be apprehended. In fact, the present contest will be one of the best fought that we have ever seen. The maeses of the people are quiet,but both parties are well prepared, and will enter on a fairer trial of strength next November than we have yet witnessed. How it is likely to result we do not pretend to say. And it is of small moment how it re- sults. The country is prosperous, and must be proe- perous. The people have learned sundry useful lew sons in the echool of experience. Humbug legisla tion, with all its glitter and pretension, is not likely to be tolerated in any administration. The masses begin to estimate more correctly and wisely than heretofore the value and importance of electing good mento the State Legislatures and to Congress; | nd we will be much mistaken if the next session | present the same scenes ot folly, extravagance, and neglect of the public interests, as the last, in case either of Mr. Clay or Mr. Polk’s election Murrany.—A grand military review will take place at Camp Mercer, Princeton, this afternoon at about 4P.M.

The expectatian of @ very splendid turm out in this place to-day, on the occasion of the anniver- sary celebration of the organization of the R. W. Grand Lodge, Independent Order of Odd Fellow of New Jersey, have been great for sometime past, and although not altogether disappointed, the in- clemency of the weather to-day put somewhat of a damper on the proceedings, When the train left New York this morning it was, as you are aware, pouring a very torrent of rain, and s0 continued until one o’clock P.M. A very large number, say 1000, were expected from New York, but not more than the third of that number set out.— Philadelphia, and other cities, contributed more largely, and, upen the whole, a very tair concourse had assembled in Trenton, to wit- ness, and enjoy the /éte. Tne Committee ot Arrangements had been sedulously occupied in an ticipation of a superb demonstration, and when the weather partially cleared up at one, the procession was organized with much celerity. City Hall was the central point, and Messrs. Edwards, Scather- good, Olmsted, Reed and Merchant were the mar- shalls, under whose direction the concentrated forces were put in motion. Although it was not perp-tual motion it was as near an approximation to it as has yet beenseen. The whole living mass, as far as the eye could see, was occupied by the line of Odd Fellows. Upon an accurate esti- mate it extended half a mile in length, and the number could not have been Jess than 2,500, not in- cluding spectators, who amounted to at least as many more, to which add the tenantsof windows, bit! and heusetops, and you have a pretty round number. ‘The disposition of the several nations, tribes and kindreds from the different parts of the com pase, Was in the following order, viz: ‘The New Jersey Lodges; Delaware do.; Pennsylvani» fo.; New York do.: the sul ate encampment of New Jersey; do. Delaware; do. Pennsylvania; do. New York: the grand encompment of New Jersey; do. of Delaware, do. of Pennsylvania: the grand lodge of Delaware; do. Pennsylvania; do. New York; do. New Jersey; members of the lodge of the United States; sires, grand sires orators, and committee of arrangement, in carriages. Thus organized, the whole body marched for ward on the word being given. There was no lack of martial music, and a lively display of the insignia of the different lodges—their badges, co- Jors and decorations gave it the sprightly aspec: of areal galaturnout. The streets, it is true, were deep, deep with mud, and here and there, inspot~, “below the lowest deep,” a lower still threatene: not only to swallow boots and spurs, but to en- croach on those “ inexpressible” limits which are under the immediate care and keeping of panta- loons. All’s well that ends well, however; and so i turned out in the present case ; every thing went on like a machine ; and, indeed, had the weather been as lovely as that of Utopia itself, the Odd Fellows could not have recmnoe poet at, or ap- pear in merrier mood than they did. When a considerable tour had been performed through some of the principal streets, Warren, Trenton, &c., for instance, the whole force haltew in the Government lots, a little distance from How- ell’s Hotel. When the band‘had performed a grand overture. divine service was celebrated by the chaplain, and an oration pronounced by Professor Home of New York, wherein the progress, and various statistice! information relative to the 1. O. of O. F., was im- parted. Another very able essay wasread by Stacey te Potts, Esq., of Trenton, which was an eloquen! vindication of the Order. It entered nto un analysis of their principles; sketched its influence onsociety ; marked its tendency eae courtesy and good feeling, benevolence and charity, and whilst it re fined men in their relations with each other, it mac« the career of each more sweet, pleasant and e able through their terrestial existence. Mr. Pott was, on concluding, loudly applauded, and the me lodious ode, which followed, was hardly adequat: to detach the attention of those who heard it fron the clever address of Mr. Potts. _ The benediction being pronounced, the proces sion re-formed, took another promenade, and final ly halted and’ dismissed at ‘“ Howell’s Hotel,” where the members of the Grand Lodge had mad: arraugementsto entertain a large number of guests The town in its different parts had its convivial ae- semblies and dinners, andup to 6 o’clock wer tull of Odd Fellows, fun and good humor, The dinner at ‘*Howell’s” was a quiet but sum) tuous affair, and whether it was thatthe write was too busy with the edibles, Szc., spread betore him, or that other folks were the same and had ne time to talk, remain undiscovered; but certain 1' is,that we have nothing to write about that festivity but this—that it is a pity all our friends were not! it. Here pauseth our grey goose quill until to-mor- row, when bi shall hear again from the sam: hand of the doings at Princeton of the military ar ray there. You shall get all the news, lock, stoc), and barrel. Later From Sovrn America.—Our files from Montevideo and Buenos Ayres, per barque Mason Barney, Captain Scott, have come to hand. They bring intelligence up to June 8th. Commodore John Brett Purvis, Commander o! the naval forces of H. B. Majesty, on the Eastern coast of South America, has taken part with the enemies of the Contederation, in Montevideo, an: aids them in their efforts to triumph. He har caused enormous injury to the Republic. To hi intimations se derogatory to the national sovereign- ty, he has added public insult to the Argentin: flag. Jn contempt of the law of nations and th faith of treaties, he has fomented war and blood shed, and occasioned an immense loss of property The local journals are loud in condemnation o! the British Commodore, Among the late acces sions to the ranks of the besieging army are the names ot Col. Olleros and Sr. Cané, aid-de-camy te the minister of war himself. The defection o! the latter individual was generally regarded in Mon tevideo as very ominous tothe rebel cause. A few days since the French and Italian mercenaries in one of their frequent orgies came to blows, and the result of the affray was to add considerably to the number of inmates of the already crowded hospi- tals. The hope of succor from Rivera, who, though he has enough to do to keep out of reach of the lances of the liberating army, will raise the siege and annihilate the enemy without firing a shot! People generally, however, have lost all faith 1 such prognostications, and the tide of emigratior of foreigners from Montevideo to Rio Grande, be- gins to flow with additional rapidity. The message of Rosasto the House of Repre- sentatives, under the head ‘* War,” gives a detail ed statement of the operations of the army im this contest, contains little or no information, bui abounds in laudations of the prowess in arms o/ the military and militia engaged in the war. Imrortant From Hayri.—The Osceola, Sylves- ter, has just arrived from St. Domingo, with advices to the 15th of July. There appears to have been another revolution in Hayti. A black philosopher, named Santa Anna, had been proclaimed President on the 10th, It war his intention to discharge all the new officers and reinstate the old ones—those probably who served under Boyer. Polydillia had been appointed Vice President. Who this Santa Anna is we cannot tell. Being black as the ave of spades, we suppose that he can- not be Santa Anna of Mexico.

The ground was in a most woful light, not fit for man or beast, yet they bravely faced it, and went forth in gallant style, the Jersey taking the lead for the first two miles at a respecta- ble distance in advance, but afterwards showed ground, Sir William in a short time fons. in front, and taking it easy for the rest of the way home, which he reached some 60 or 70 yards in advance, evidently showing he could make the distance in a much less time. x \ For the second heat, Wheelan judging that his Soh es was something too much for the Jersey, up- wards of 25 lbs over, M’Loughlin mounted with little or no better success. trot wes much as in the former heat, and Sir William came in win- ning the stakes easy, though not without an ar- duous struggle on the part of the rider to the con- trary.

The Speculators Bitten—State of the Produce Trade Our “ Commission gentry” begin to feel that they have dabbled in the article of bread stuffs and other eatables rather too much for the good of their pur- ses. A lot of flour arrived here last week in @ steamer, whichj when inspected, turned out to be almost wholly soured, and Madam Rumor, who is always onthe wing, intimates that a large propor- tion of the flour now held in store at this place ir in abad condition. A large amount has been seu! forward during the past week, and the most of the holders seemjwilling to sell for the best prices they can obtain. % “ Pork and hams are equally bad. Some little stir has taken place during the last week, and some sales have been made at advanced prices, but ii would be difficult for holders to obtain such prices this week. The wheat harvest has been prosecuted thus far under very favorable auspices, and if the weather continues good tor one week more, the whole wil! be secured in first rate condition.

This case was brought forward in the Marine Court, and every mean: was resorted to to harrass the prisoner, whose witnesses were scattered and a non-suit was had in the Marine Court. It was all owing to Mr. Nash who fished out the case and visited the prisoner in the Eldridge street pri- son Mr. Nasu wished to explain. ‘The Counr—I shall not permit collateral matters to be introduced on this trial. tye Stuatzvant—Mr Nash has been the cause of the entire Covnr—You must stop personalities in this Court—! shall not permit any such remarks on counsel If you pi an; thing to urge against Mr. Nash, there is another tribunal.
