NEW YORK HERALD. |New York, Friday, August 2, 1844. SPLENDID Mlustrated Weekly Herald! SCENES IN THE BARLY LIFE OF THE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES!! We differ considerably from the party press our notions respecting the mode in which the lives and characters of the Presidential candidates should be illustrated. They do it by lying, scur- rility, abuse, and disgusting laudation—we by ex- hibiting both as their own actions and speeches represent them, and by faithful sketches of their past history. q The Weekly Herald ot Saturday next will be eagerly bought up by men of all parties. It will be one of the most interesting illustrated papers ever published. One of the engravings will repre- sent a characteristic scene in the boyish days of Mr. Polk, the champion of the democracy in the present contest. Another engraving will give an accurate and graphic representation of an interest- ing scene in the public life of Mr. Clay, the great whig leader. Besides these, there will be a num- ber of other engravings illustrative of subjects connected with the Presidential campaign. This Weekly Herald will also contain the full and very extraordinary digclosures before the cler- ico! council in the case of the Rev. Mr. Fairchild, with the usual variety of interesting intelligence from all parts of the world. The circulation of the Weekly Herald has now reached a point altogether uoequulled in the history of papers of its class in this country. No other establishment in the Union possesses the means of producing such a paper. It is a full and complete weekly record of society, civilization, political revolution, and human progress, both in the old and new world. Look out for the next magnifi- cently illustrated number.

We may reasonably expect half a months later news from Europe at an early hour this morning, for the Caledor 2 was a little over thirteen days at sea when the “ail left Boston yesterday afternoon. Mr. Clay and Annexation. Some s“nsitive Whigs in Alabama, having been grievously alarmed at a suppor ed allusion to the Abolitionists in Mr. Clay’s famous letter on Texas, when he declared that he was opposed to the an- nexation, because that measure was hostile to the wishes and views of ‘a considerable and respect- able portion of the confederacy,” the great Whig leader, has come out with an explanatory letter. Here it is: Asutanp, July 1, 1844. My Dear Sir:—I received and thank you for your friendly letter, and the copy of the Mon:tor. You have justly conceived my meaning, when | referred in my *Pexas letter to a considerable and respectable portion of the Confederacy. And you might have strengthened our construction of the paragraph, by reference to the fact that, at the date of my letter, the States of Ohio, Ver- mont and Massachusetts,had almost unenimously declared inst annexation ; the Legislature of Georgia had de clined to recommend it, and other States were believed to be adverse to the measure. As to the idea of my courting the Abolitionists, it is errata absurd. No man in the Unted States has been half so much abused by them as I have been. A I consider the Union a great political esha 3 and itted into the con that new members ought not to be adm cern at the imminent hazard of its dissolution Personally, I could have no objection to the annexation of Texas, but I certainly would be unwilling to see the existing Union dissolved or seriously jeoparded for the sake of acquiring Texas. Ifany one desire to know the leading and pare: mount object of my fh life, the preservation of this ‘Union will furnish him the key. From developments now being made in South Carolina, itis perfectly manifest that a party exists in that State seek! issolution of the Union, and for that purpose em, ing the pretext of the rejection of Mr. Tyler's abominable treaty, South Carolina, beii rrounded by slave states, would in the event of a dissolution of the Union, suffer only comparative evils ; but is is otherwise with Kentucky. She has the boundary of the Ohio ex. foodie Sra hundred miles in three free States. What would her condition be in the event of the greatest cula- mity that could befall this nation ? In Kentucky, the Texas question will do the Whig Cause no prejudice. I am glad to perceive, in the proceed- ings of the Clay Club of ‘Tuscaloosa, a similar belief ex sed as to Alabama. It wasa bubble, blown up by ir. Tyler, - are — re eats ——s jena ae urposes, and its bursting injured nobody, but Mr von Buren. H. CLAY. The reason advanced by Mr. Clay for his oppo- sition to annexation, is amusing enough. The idea that any damage is really to be apprehended of a dissolution of the Union, because a score or two of fanatics of both parties, whose strength and influence are admirably represented by the New York American, who began the cry of “ dissolu- tion,” is about as absurd as anything we can re- quire. There are a certain class of politicians, small orators, and hangers-on at the skirts of both parties—who are accustomed to ery out—* Oh! the Union will be dissolved”—‘ This must lead to the dissolution of the Union’~whenever any great measure of national interest is proposed, which may threaten to disturb, in any degree, the specu- lations or movement of the party. Men of sense laugh at these miserable creatures—and so does Mr. Clay—in his sleeve. But just now “ dignified, active quiet,” as somebody has not inaptly termed it—is his best policy, and hence such a letter as that we have just given, which leaves the whole subject of his opinions on annexation in the same easy and comfortable position as before. The truth is,—and it is well worthy of frequent statement,—the movements on this ‘I'exas ques- tion have demonstrated in a very striking and tor- cible manner, the utter want of principle and pa- triotism in mere politicians. The annexation of Texas is a measure of the utmost importance to the whole Union. It promises no sectional advan- tages—all are alike interested in it. The manoeu- vres of Great Britain for the purpose of defeating the measure, are evidences convincing enough, of the sound policy and wisdom of at once annexing that territory to this republic. And the arguments employed against the annexation are mere quib- bles—“ words, words, words.” And yet we find the selfish, unprincipled, and miserable and in- triguing politicians of both parties, opposing the measure, and effectually thwarting the sagacious and enlightened efforts of the administration to ef- fect it. Thus it is always. The first question with the mere politicians is not— will this measure strengthen the power and stability, and promote the welfare of the country ?’—but the first, and the second, and the third question with them, is— “ How will it affect the party ?” As to the final fate, however, of the question of the annexation of Texas, but little sagacity is sufti- cient to enable any one to see that its adoption is inevitable. The fortunes of Texas must sooner or later be bound up with this great confederacy. And not only Texas, but the whole continent, must one day, share with us the blessings of free and equal ineti- tutions. He knows nothing of the laws of human progress, and the allotted destiny of republican America, who talk about our government being * already territorially too large,” and affirms that the United States must now pause in that grand career of dominion which the God of nature and the God of liberty has marked out for them to rn. In the old world, the Anglo-Saxon race is accomplish- ing its work and destiny, inredeeming the nations from barbarism, and carrying the arte, civilization, and religion, to the endsof the earth. On this con tinent, a,younger, but a nobler scion, of the same Anglo-Saxon race, with unfettered energies, is carrying on the same great work of progress and civilization—not by bloody conquest—not by in- iquitous wars—not by tyranny and rapacity—but by the hand of patient industry—by the agency otf free institutions,—by the omnipotence of democra- tic principles. ‘Territorially too large!” The idea is absurd. It is the great mark of the excel lence and perfect adaptation of our civil institutions, that theit extension over new fields of dominion» but adds to their stability. The case is altogether diferent with a monarchy, with large, unwieldy, dependencies at a far remote distance from the power of standing armies of mercenary soldi 3 In that case, increase of territory often does bring danger. Not so with a republic, which receives in itd fraternal embrace new territories only to make them free—not to wring from them tribute te sup- port an oppressive monarchical government—but to raise up new, free, and indepeadent States, each giving added strength to the whole’ confederacy. Thus, then, we argue that the annexation of Texas is certain; and whether Mr, Clay or Mr. Polk be elected, that will have little effect on the in | postponement ef its accomplishment. If Mr. Clay be elected, the country will see a very material change in his sentiments with respect to Texas be- fore two years haye passed over our heads. No longer cautiously groping his way, and afraid to speak out, he will assume a different tone. One thing, at all events, is certain—he must—always previded he sits at the helm of State—go for Texas or give up the wheel. FreLincuuysen anp THE ‘ NATIVES” AGAIN.— Some people appear ‘to work very hard to con- vince the public that Mr. Frelinghuysen is a great admirer of the *‘Natives,” and a staunch supporter of their peculiarly American republican creed.— A rumor has been in circulation that the worthy Chancellor of the University, and President of the Bible Society, had declared that the Bible must prevail in spite of Bishop Hughes and the Pope. This, Mr. Frelinghuysen contradicts in the follow- ing letter :— ' Newanx, July 18th, 1844. Dear 81a :—Your kind favor of the 10th instant reached me at this:place yesterday. I thank you forthe pay. interest you have taken im the matter of the Vice Pres! gtr tt charge in your vicinity that I uad late: f it res] ts acl in lat ly stated in epablio h that the “ Bible must prevail in despi eof Bishop Hughes and the Pope,” | can firmly declare it all an utter fabrication. I have on no occasion made any such reference to the Bishop or the Pope, of any thing thettruth could construe into a likeness; nor have | said any thing in disreapect or Prejuilice of the Catholics. Ihave never felt any other disposition to ward them than that they should fully exerci en- joy all the rights of conscience, religion and citizenship, ‘as guaranteed by our Constitution to all ‘The only speech | have made in along time relating tothe Bible, was at the anniversary ofthe American Bible Society in May last.

If! find one more full, I will send it to you. Very truly, ahs THEO. FRELINGHUYSEN. Mr. Frelinghuysen is certainly a man of liberality and christian charity. It were well if all the Pro- testant directors of Bible Societies and Anti-Pope- ry Associations, were as free trom bigotry and in- tolerance. A Sugar Pius ror tHe “Natrves.”—We have always most cheerfully rendered all due praise to the new party for every iota of reform which they have effected. However small the instalment, it was thankfully received and placed to their credit. We have now two items of reform for which to thank them. The temper of the “organ” has been decidedly improved by the affectionate and timely discipline we administered the other day; and the Mayor has had Mr. Pinteux, the proprietor of a tavern in Broadway, much frequented by loafers, up before him, and has threatened to deprive him of his licence in case of another complaint of dis- orderly conduct against his establishment. Weare indeed exceedingly gratified at this decided movement on the part of the Mayorto abolish one of the most abominable and disgusting nuisances in Broadway—the taverns in Broadway,which remain open till midnight, and are always surrounded by crowds of rowdies, native and foreign, who ob- struct the sidewalks and violate public decency with their blasphemies and obscenities. We trust that the reform will be vigorously carried out. If the corporation even now begin to prosecute the work of city reform in all its departments with en- ergy and effect, they will at once regain every inch they have lost in public favor, and make permanent their tenure of the reins of government. And as, we have repeatedly said, they will always find in us an active and zealous ally when they are discharging their duty. But we will suffer no unfaithfulness and’ forgetfulness of their solemn pledges to go unexpesed and unrebuked. Smas Wrient ann Tuurtow Weep.—Mr. Weed is trying very hard te convict Silas Wright of fibbing, because he has said that he hailed the nomination of Polk with delight, and is prepared to give that gentleman his earnest support. Thur- low Weed is almost the last man in the world that we would have suspected of being so verdant as seriously to entertain the opinion that a politician should be consistent inall his statements. We have no more reason to expect uniform consistency in a politician, than we have to expect manliness and honor in Thurlow Weed. REPEALERS NOT ALL DEAD YET.—There are still a few of the repealers alive and kicking in this city. They have issued a call for a great, mighty, mul- titudinous meeting next Monday evening. The last subscriptions were only a bite to the hungry hangers-on, and, as one of them said the other day the ‘patriotic loafers will stand another bleeding at any rate.” Tue FasnionaB.e Waterinc Praces.—At these delightful spots “the cry is still they come.” At Saratoga, Port Richmond, Clifton House, Long Branch Ocean House, and Coney Island, hundreds are daily arriving, and yet there is room and wel- come for more.*§ As an instance of the enjoyment which these places afford, we need only refer to a most de- lightful pic nic party got up at Port Richmond on Thursday last. At an early hour in the morning, a train of 25 carriages, freighted with some of the loveliest creatures of New York, Philadelphia, and Staten Island, started from the Port Richmond Hotel xfor the oldi,elm tree, on the sea girt shore, and in the cedar grove adjoining, each and all enjoyed themselves to their heart’s content, as they best thought proper; some walking, others swinging ; another group might be observed chat- ting; but the greater portion ‘sporting the light fantastic toe.” After these had been enjoyed or some time, a most sumptuous repast was spread beneath one of the large trees, and sufficient evi- dence was soon shown that the ride, air, and exer- cise, had not diminished the appetites of those present: every thing was discussed in the most satisfactory manner. But, alas! in the midst of these enjoyments, a heavy storm came on and the whole party, with the exception of one or two military gentlemen, who cared more for their dinner than they did for a hittle rain, were obliged to retreat to a cottage adjoining for shelter, leaving their hot coffee and fish behind. When the rain had subsided, the par- Ues repaired to their carriages and returned home, not the least discouraged by what had taken place; but just the reverse, for the same evening it was agreed upon that another Bic nic party should be held on the following Wednesday, if the weather permitted. At Saratoga the crowd and crush 1s tremendous. Borghese—Dr. Sobel Ge -scandall—balls at all the hotels—brandy—Dr. Stillman—the Lake House—the Browns—the fountains in the morn- inge—the Jacksons—flirting—human nature in all its varied developments, are there, bubbling, hiss- ing and spluttering, morning, noon and night. Succrssrut Aneter.—Somebody writing from Washington, says that Mr. Secretary Bibbjis quite an accomplished and very zealous angler. We be- lieve he is. He has hooked some excellent baskets of fish in his time. Mass Meetines.—Both parties in this city are very busy in making preparations for mass meet- ings. The locofocos are to have some tremendous meetings next week, and the whigs will not be behind them. The contest begins to get a little warmer. Once the dog days are over, we'll have 1ot enough work of it up till the day of election. SnocKine.—A woman, a deck passenger on board he Massachusetts on her last trip, threw her infant overboard. Captain Comstock immediately had ier arrested, and she will probably be punished. Quick Passace.—The Yorkshire, Capt. Bailey, wtrived yesterday from Liverpool. She~ sailed thence on the 2d of July. Reooaxizen —John Leppieu as Consul of Hano- seat of sovereignty, and retained only bythe | ver for Philadelphia. Scnoorzy’s Mountain, Monday. Mr. Bennert:— ; df you are ignorant of the fresh breezes—the clear skies—the pure atmosphere—and all the delights of the Jersey Mountains, 1 would ask you to come here.- This is a most refreshing and invigorating place—full of beauty—fine drives—fine mutton— fine butter—fine milk, and every thing you can desire. We have two houses on the Mountains— Hinchman’s, Belmont Hall—and Marsh’s. We have altogether about 200 visitors and room for more. There is every thing agreeable and quiet. The conveyance from New York is easy and com- fortable. From Jersey City to Morristown by railroad in two hours and a half—there stop at the Jersey Hotel, one of the most splendid I have seen any where, aud kept by Burgess in first rate style. Then to the Mountain in three hours and a half. I will write you again to-morrow. Mayor Harper on Tug Bencn or THE Court or Sgssions.—The appearance of his Honor the Mayor as the presiding magistrate on the Bench of the Court of Special Sessions, the other morning, 1s represented by the industrious historians who give us the daily life of that world of injustice, misfortune, and crime—comprised within the pre- cints of the ‘‘Tombs,”—as having created quite a sensation. This ie not at all wonderful. The pre- sence of aplain, honest man—whose chief magis- terial qualifications are common sense, shrewdness, and sincere love of justice—in some of our crimi- nal tribunals, awakens feelings something like those which would be excited by the interesting specta- cle of the Apostle Paul officiating as Chairman of the Trustees of Trinity Church, or of the Coun- cil in the case of the Rev. Mr. Falrchild. And yet, what business can any body have to be asto- nished at the sight of an honest man on the bench at the “* Tombs ;” or what is there so very absurd in the idea of an Apostle presiding at a meeting of holy trustees or saintly divines? It is clear that all such astonishment is impertinent and intrusive, when we recollect that in this latter day of light and glory, an influential portion of the community is endeavoring, with marked industry and success, to illustrate the sound philosophy of those two sub- lime maxims of antiquity—“‘ set a rogue to catch a rogue,” and, ‘the nearer the church the farther from God.” It was remarked, that, on this occasion, the ses- sion of the Court was protracted till three o’clock in the afternoon, being four or five hours longer than usual, although there was no more than the ordinary number of offeriders arraigned. This shows conclusively, that Mayor Harper has a great deal yet to learn before he can act as an efficient judge atthe ‘‘ Tombs.” The idea of occupying time by ridiculous inquiries about the temptations— the hunger, thirst, nakedness, and despair,—which may have impelled poor wretches to commit petty crimes, is absurd. The proper way of doing the business, is to convict the miserable devils by the dozen, without any such preposterous investiga- tion into the circumstances which have made them c c inmates of the “Tombs,” and to send them off to | mittees have been actively engaged in a complete and eS ook aie 5 fe rough cleansing, pelnting, aad renovation of th the Penitentiary ina batch, like a large family of Secuniel by tue! oy e ing Sod ne ‘Grand, ae po pin sparrows spitted on one skewer, and sharing the benefits of cookery together. Again, the admoni- tions which his Honor delivered to. some of the culprits before he discharged them, are described as “very amusing”—as “reminding one of the days of Dicky Riker.” Certainly it must have ap- peared very odd, to hear a magistrate of the Court of Sessions, talking of sobriety, temperance, virtue and the world to come. The accents of Chris- tian charity and affectionate advice, must have sounded strangely in the ears of the poor wretches at the bar. No wonder that the officers, with hearts of more enduring hardness than the crumbling pillars which sustain the blackened dome of that temple of justice, looked astonished, as they heard the drunkard exhorted to go home and join the Temperance Society, instead of being sentenced to ten days confinement in the poisonous vaults of the city prison. Who could help being surprised as they saw, for a brief moment, the cur- tain lifted, and obtained a glance at the causes of the vast amount of petty crime which crowds the “Tombs,” from week to week and year to year? It was something new, to attempt in that place, to convince the community that it 1s not so much ow- ing to the love of vice and crime, as it is to misfor- tune, which the charities of the world overlook— to the want of education amongst the poor—to the want of adequate provision for those who are wil- ling to earn the bread of honesty, but cannot find employment—to the destroyer of female innocence whom society yet refuses to brand with infamy—to “ man’s inhumanity to man,”— that our prisons are filled with such numbers of the lower class of offenders against thelaws. But this the Mayor did attempt in his own sort of way And was it not funny? Wasit not strange? Was’ it at all surprising that the reporters recorded the fact as something remarkable ? Tue Conversion oF THE Jews.—We perceive by recent London papers that the Association for the “ Conversion of the Jews” to Christianity, was in a highly prosperous condition. Twenty-nine thou- sand pounds sterling had been contributed to its funds by the piously disposed Christian public ; but apparently without much effect, for the Association has, it seems, expended the twenty-nine thousand pounds,and is, besides ninety pounds sterling in debt, and after all, this expenditure of money and ex- ertion, are able to state at their annual meeting that they have converted—or rather expect to convert— one Jew by the next anniversary, which will de- pend mainly upon the assistance rendered by the Association. The best authenticated case we ever heard of the conversion of a Jew, is the one handed down to us by some Hudibras of the time, in the follow- ing stanzas, wherein it will be seen how a poor Jew, who, while skating, broke through the ice, was converted by a Monk who happened to pass by, and seized the struggling Hebrew by the neck. Monk. ‘ Do you our papal father hold Heaven's Vicar—and believe att. troup 1” Jew. “1 do, by God! One moment more !’m food for cod.” Monk. *‘ Damn al? your brethren, great and small”— Jew. “ With all mv heart, O dam’ ’em all— Now drag me out—I freeze—I die ;” Monk. “ Your peace, my friend, ia made on high— ‘New converts duly. shriven, Are always sure to get to heaven.” So said, the Father in a trice, His convert plunged beneath the ice ! This mode of conversion resembles a good deal in principle that proposed by sundry benevolent Christians of the present enlightened day, to be adopted in the case of their brethren of the Catho- lic faith. But, after all, this is hardly the age for such a process of proselytism. Silly Bishops may excite the violent bigotries of opposing sects, and unprincipled demagogues may stir up their evil passions, but the fires of Smithfield have been ex- tinguished for ever. More Curap anp Nasty Lrreraturg.—The pro- spectus of a “beautiful and brilliant metropolitan newepaper, to be called the Ladies’ Man,” has just been issued. It is to embody all the most recent refinements of the cheap and nasty literature. It has been shrewdly conjectured that the originator of this elegant affair was Chevalier Wikoff, and thatthe great object was to establish an organ for the waiters at the Astor House and the ballet girls at Niblo’s. But this cannot be the case, for the Chevalier sailed for Europe a few days since for the purpose of settling some important business ‘fat Long’s.” New York Bax Note List.—This is a very useful and carefully conducted paper,fissued once a fortnight, by Charles & Son, 12 Wall street. It is very extensively patronized by the mercantile com- nunity—the best evidence of its utility. Patmo’s Orrra Hovse.—We have heard that the enterprising Thomas Flynn is on treaty for this es: tablishment; which if he succeeds in effecting will ve a formidable rival for the Park.

Of this fleet there are now iv this harbor the following :— 9 o’clock for Newport, there to meet the others of the squadron. They do not meet at that point to race, but for other purposes. It is said that the gentlemen owning these yachts have formed them- selves into an association, somewhat like that call- ed the Royal or Thames Yacht Squadron of Eng- land, and their object is health and pleasure, com- bined with a laudable desire to improve our already almost perfect naval architecture. These gentlemen havejelected a Commodore, John C, Stevens, Esq., and are tobe governed by rules and regulations. They will take their annual excursions, have their regular regattas, their own private and public signals, and become a regularly organized yacht squadron. This concentrating at Newport is the first annual meeting of the association, and is more for the pur- pose of perfecting their arrangements than for any- thing else. more beautiful and swift sailing schooners will be built in America than ever before, and the rest of the world be eclipsed in fairy skimmers of the seas.
