oe ee NEW YORK HERALD. "New Work, Wednesday, August 7, ibaa. The War Commenced in New York be- tween the “Natives” and “ Foreign- born” Citizens—Singular and Important Docament. We publish on our first page to-day the material portions of a letter addressed by a number of individuals, who assume to speak for the adopted citizens of New York, to the candidates .for the Presidency, asking a declaration of their respective sentiments on the subject of a repeal of the naturalization laws. The document is not badly drawn up, and embodies # good deol of truth, and is worthy of attention at this particular crisis, But the great object of the letter ist easily perceived. It is a timely locofoco move to secure what all good citizens must regret they have lived to hear culled the ‘fo- reign vote.” This is a fair commence- ment of the war between the “natives” and naturalized citizens in this city, and as there are demagogues enough in this region ready to avai! themselves of the evil passions and excitements 0! the moment, and as the efforts of the whigs to se- cure the “ natives,” and of the locofocos to gain the Irish, will inevitably lead to a good deal of collision, and agitation of very unpleasant and dan- gerous subjects, we are not altogether without grounds to entertain some anxiety with regard 10 the future progress and management of this new couater-movement. That portion of this letter which ascribes the origin of the ‘* native” movement to old Noah, is rather amusing, and considerably enlivens the somewhat prosy character of theremainder. No— no. It was when Bishop Hughes rushed from the altar of God into the reeking arena of this world’s polities, and organized his flock into a distinct po- litical party, that the fell spirits of proscription, bigotry, intolerance, and brutal ignorance, were let loose upon the community. This whole movement on both sides is to be deprecated. It can only produce discord, and agi- tation, animosity, and perhaps fresh scenes of blood and conflsgration, The “natives” are adopting quite a suicidal policy in this agitation about the naturalization laws. They appear to have forgot ten altogether that it was the watchword of ‘“re- form,” which collected their hosts—that it was the prospect of obtaining through them a change for the better in the city government, that gave them strength and victory last spring. They seem now intoxicated with that triumph, and instead of fulfilling their pledges and attending to the honest and faithful discharge of their duties, by which they would secure the lasting esteem and gratitude of their fellow-citizens, they are pursuing a course, which promises no practical results, except their own annihilation. For all principles of proscrip- tion—all intolerance—all bigotry—all prejudice— all sectional preferences or dislikings, are hostile to the genius of the glorious free institutions of this country; and no matter who they be, whether Catholic or Protestants, native born or foreign born citizens, that thus attempt to sow in this free soil the seeds of civil discord, religious or political intolerance, will only reap destruction themselves Mark that all ye disorganizers, ‘‘native” and “‘foreign,” for thank Heaven, there exists in this laud a power which can crush you all, and that is an enlightened public opinion, which justly appre- ciates and properly understands the spirit of the Constitution, and is adequate to guard it against all foes, foreign or domestic. Rowovrism in New Yoru.—We perceive that the Philadelphia papers are directing the attention of their readers to the growth and prevalence of rowdyism in this city, and endeavor to prove that New York is much more disorderly than their city. Oue of the Philadelphia papers, the Daily Chronicle, in an article in which it quotes from this journal the complaints of several correspond- ents in different sections of the city, respecting the necessity of a police system to preserve the lives and properties of citizens, says:— Law ano Onvex in New Yore.—The papers of our sister city have been indelatigable in their exertions to create an impression injurious to the business character of Philadelphia, based upon firemens’ fights, riots, &c. Were we to take but half the pains exercised by them, we could present ten violations of law in that city, to one in Philadelphia. The difference between ‘ rowdyism” in New York, as it is termed'in a caption to one of the above notices, and rowdyism in Philadelphia. is in our favor. Here the rowdies get up fights anong themselves—there they in- sult and mastreat respectable citizens. Strangers are ottener the subjects of their abnse than residents. In Phi ladeiphia strangers are always treated with respect—never insulted by gaugs of ruffians, as is too frequently the case in New York Without at all entering into any controversy re- specting the respective pretensions of New York and Philadelphia to order and reverence for the laws, we merely repeat a remark we made some time since, that we are always ready to receive the severest licking which the Philadelphia papers choose to give us when we New Yorkers are guilty of violating public order and decency, or quietly permitting rowdyism in any shape or form. They cannot apply the lash too vigorously, Let them give it hot and heavy to our authorities whenever they find them neglecting the public peace and or- der; and by all appearances, it would seem thi ¢ our brethren in Philadelphia will have their hand- full of this sort of work for some time to come. It is too bad, to be sure, tor New York to give them so much trouble, for in all conscience they have had enough to employ them at home for a twelve- month at least. Warring a Lawyer.—Mr. Charles O’Coner, n lawyer in this city, who is engaged in the rather interesting case of Cruger against Douglass, was subjected on Monday last, just after he had left the Court-room, to a delicate operation, which,is very happily described in the Hibernian language, as “‘a rubbing down with an oaken towel.” The operator, who certainly conducted the process with remark- able spirit and effect, was a young gentleman, a re- lative of one of the parties in the suit, of whom Mr O’Conor had spoken in the course of his argu- ment, with even more than his usual good-nature, good taste, and good judgment. The young gen- tleman politely asked the amiable lawyer to retract his offensive remarks, which he very properly re- fused to do, and was accordingly knocked down, and obliged to perform on the ground, a variety of, we must say, very indifferent sprawling imita- tions of the gambols of the Park Fountain.— On coming to his senses, Mr. O’Conor had his young inetructor in the art and mystery of a good whacking, arrested, and obliged to give good and sufficient bail tor his appearance to answer to a charge of assault and battery. The truth is, that a sound whipping is very often well-earned by some of the lawyersof thiscity. It has been repeatedly remarked by intelligent Eu- ropean travellers, that the gentlemen of the bar in our courts, are allowed a most extraordinary de- gree of license in their remarks. We have our- selves frequently listened to long tirades of the grossest personalities and scurrility, introduced by counsel in their speeches in court. In some in stances this evil is realy intolerable, and we think that the rare occurrence of such a scene as that we have just described, speaks volumes either for the love of the law, or wise insensibility to insult which characterises the great mass of our citizens Tue Rocuester Democratic Anti-Texas Meeting.—The Plebeian, and other‘ taunch organe of the Polk and Dallas democracy, represent ihe meeting at Rochester, to oppose the Texas move- ment, and the call for which was so exultingly placarded by the Evening Post conspirators, at being a failure. It wae, however, by no means the contemptible aflair which it is represented to have been by the Plebeian. It was quite a nume- rous assemblage, consisting of old supporters of Mr Van Buren, and abolitionists, with a few whig: who went from curiosity. The truth is, that the « confidential movement” is silently working a great deal of serious disturbance amongst the un- errified democracy The eflorts of Bishop Hughes to organise the {rish Catholics into a distinct political element, stimulated another portion of the community to an opposition, which was organised, and conducted in an equally unjustifiable, unconstitutional and dan- gerous mode, as that which it sought to subdue. Religious bigotries and sectarian prejudives are foes which now really threaten the republic, and all Americans who deserve the name, will unite with us in crushing them wherever they may be found, whatever name they may bear, and what- ever form they may assume. RESENTMENT OF THE PHLLaDELPiita Grann Jory —The session of the Philadelphia Grand Jury having terminated, their presentment is new before the public, and will continue to command a great deal of attention, as the events have done of which this document takes cognizance. Public opinion, in that unfortunate city, has all along been greatly divided on the topics furnished by the late out- breaks there ; and notwithstanding the degree of credit and weight that ought to be attached to the declarations of an intelligent, calm, and, we trust, fair body of men like the Grand Jury, a diversity of views and discordant teeling will still prevail in relation to occurrences in which the public peace, individual character, and domestic safety of its in- habitants are-deeply involved. A great deal of excitement has been created amongst the different parties in Philadelphia by this important document. By the great mass of the intelligentand order-loving portion of the com- munity it has been well received, but many of the axtives speak of it in very violent terms of denun- clatlen. An attentive perusal of the presentment of the grand jury, leads usto believe that they approached their responsible duties in a dispassionate and pro- per spirit, for which they should get credit, no matter what there may appear erroneous in their conclusions. As might naturally be expected, they properly considered the origin of the outbreaks— the immediate causes which led to violence are of primary importance, and therefore investigated them at an early period of their inquest. It is, however, to be regretted that their inquiries extend no farther back than the month of May last, for although the disturbance which occurred at the public meeting thea held obtrudes itself upon the attention, as the first cause of what followed, they do not look fur enough who cannot perceive that others were at work prion to that event, to which in its turn it may be attribnted. ‘The Grand Jury take a very correct view of the arming of the Church of St. Philip de Neri. With- out attempting to deny the inalienable rights of men to defend their property as well as lives, and to appeal to force to repel force, when the exigency of the case demands it, they do not exaggerate in asserting that the presence of arms and men to use them, in a large building, capable perhaps of being turned into a peint of hostile aggression, was ade- quate to excite feelings of hostility. None can, however, assert that such hostility is defensible, nor can it be reasonably alleged that the right of those who were under apprehension for the safety of the church to arm fr its protection, were at all vitiated by the fact of their fears being groundless. It may be true, and indeed, we feel convinced that Priest Dunn acted precipitately in turning the house of God into a fortification; it may be that he did wrong in a hasty assertion of a right which is bet ter in theory than practice, especially on the very frivolous ground of an anonymous letter; but whe- ther or not, there can be no mitigation of the fla- grancy and guilt of those who had already burned one church, and again were seeking to lay their aacreligious hands upon another, That was the opinion of the civil authorities, when, to their credit, they movea in its defence; and we are glad to perceive that their view is endorsed by the Grand Jury. If any justification were want- ing of the conduct of both the civil and mib- tary forces in interfering to protect life and property, it is found inthe impartial conclusions to which the Jury have arrived, after a protracted and searching investigation. But it is easy to conceive that there are numbers of the people of Philadel- phia who will cavil at this decision. Men who have no respect for the most sacred rights of their neighbors, are likely to prove very ill adapted to relish unpleasant truths; and whatever favor it may find in the eyes of the orderly and discreet citizens, it isto be fairly calculated that by the disaffected, the turbulent, the vile, and, let us add, the culpably indifferent, it will meet as cold a reception as the appeals of the legitimate authority in support of the law, and of the public peace. No person who has given proper attention to the whole series of events to which the Grand Jury have directed their enquiries, can refuse his assent to one of the principal conclusions set forth in the presentment—that an organized force is required for the vindication of law, for the suppression of disorder, and for the protection of those who, re- specting the rights of othere, ate prepared to defend their own. Severe as is the lesson which has been taught to the lawlees rowdies of Philadelphia, there is reason to apprehend that it will be effaced, and that where there is so much rottenness in publie sentiment generally, this turbulence, and spirit of aggression, ‘cruel and cowardly as it is, may re- turn with an absence of that cause of wholesome fear which alone keeps these wretches in order— the military force of the State. Philadelphia can- aot be trusted to its own keeping as it is. The de- generacy of the public mind is such as leads one to suppose that even that instinctive sense of right and wrong, which sometimes will resist the promptings of a vicious education, is entirely obliterated. But in addition to this, the municipal arrangements of Philadelphia are most untortunate, and as badly adapted to ensure the efficiency of the legally con- stituted authorities as can be well imagined.— (nstead of a plurality of disconnected and isolated districts, little concerned in, and having little sym- pathy with each other—there ought to be but one city—one municipality—one strong and energetic government—possessed of means, and will, and in- terest for the preservation of the general good order of society. A police force is very good in its way; but if, in cities like New York, complaints are frequent of the conduct of the police, what might be expected in Philadel- phia, where they§would be subordinate to a less compact and united, and, therefore,a less ineffective contro]; where, if chosen from the body of its in- habitants, as is likely, the members of the body would be imbued with all the prejudices,the hatreds, and the partialities which have been the active elements in generating the very evils which it A Parngioric “ Native Amexican” Lapy.—We have just heard of a most extraordinary act of dis- interested, patriotic devotion on the part of a “Na- tive American” lady of Philadelphia, which it would be altogether unpardonable to omit record- ing for the admiration of the present and succeed- ing generations. It appears that this lady procured aquantity of the hair of the eightunfortunate men who were shot at Kensington in May last, and with it sie has manufactured an “ obituary wreath,” with the names of the murdered men in a medal- lion space in the centre. It is pronounced by the editors of the native papers in Philadelphia and this city to be a perfectly unique and elegant affair. This wreath the “fair artist” offers for sale, and the little “ organ’* in this city “ presumes it will bring a high price.” We really cannot give expression to the painful emotions which this circumstance hasexcited, and which have been, we are sure, awakened in the breast of all individuals of both parties, who are influenced by genuine patriotism, and possess any delicacy of feeling. Such a gross outrage on de- cency, propriety, and christian charity deserves the indignant rebuke of every true hearted christian, man and woman. in the community, and_will re- ceive it too, or we have wofully mistaken the cha- racter and sentiments of the great mass of the people of this country. Gor Home at Last.—The vile representation of Mr. Clay, in a sort of typographical caricature, made up of the filthiest scurrility, arranged so as to exhibit the grotesque figure of a man, the feet being represented by the words “blood” and “murder” in capital letters, and which has been circulating in most of the democratic papers, in- cluding that paragon of decency and dignity the Washington Globe, appeared in the New York American last evening, with two or three indignant paragraphs from the virtuous pen of the highly re- spectable Mr. Charles King. The filthy affair look- ed quite at home in the diriy columns of the Ame- rican. Let it rest there and go to perdition. Wuie Ligurenant Governor,—The whigs of Westchester and Putnam counties are urging the nomination of their old favorite, Henry B. Cowles, Esq ,as Lieutenant Governor. Mr. Cowles, a few years since, was a distinguished member of the Legislature and Congress from that district. For the last few years he has devoted himself to his profession in this city, and retired from politics. ‘Power To Let.”—Passing along Greenwich street yesterday afternoon, we observed a large placard on an extensive factory with the announce- ment—‘‘ Power to let.” We immediately thought of poor Philosopher Greeley, who, by all accounts, is at present badly off from want of the advertised commodity. The circulation of the Tribwne has suffered very considerably in consequence of the recent pirouette of Chevalier Wikoff, which has drawn off a number of the young whigs, who had become disgusted with- the Fourierism and other isms of the Philusopher. The Tvibume is now re- garded as valuable only as an almanac of the wea- ther, the rise and fall of Fourierite stock, and the small potato results of the town and county elec- tions. “ What a man seweth that shallho also rip,” as the tailors now “‘on a strike” said, when they abandoned their half finished work.—New York Native Paper. We must again call on his Honor the Mayor to instil into his ‘ organ’’ a little additional deceney and respect for things sacred. The above para~ graph, which is a fair sample of the wit and refine- ment of the conductors of the print in question, has certainly a rather singular appearance in the columns of a print, which is regarded as the organ of a man of so much piety and respectability as Mayor Harper.

Granp Aquatic Excursion.—-The splendid steamboat South America will make a very plea- gant excursion to-morrow, down the bay, leaving at an early hour in the afternoon, and returning early iathe evening. For particulars, see advertisement. There is quite a mania for excursions this summer. Heretofore the public have not been accommo- dated with such a boat for these trips as the South America, and they are determined to avail them- selves of every occasion she offers.

Although a necessity to call in the aid of a mili. tary force, in a country peculiarly jealous of mili- tary encroachments, there can be but one senti- ment of respect and gratitude to the brave men who did their duty in the Southwark riots with courage and alacrity. Amidst the general wreck of moral feeling which pervades a great propor- tion of the Philadelphians, it is pleasing to observe the love of order and of law, the sense of even- handed justice, with which the rural population of that, as well as other States, are imbued and ac- tuated. Luxury and vice may contaminate the population of large cities, but it is cheering to those who desire the stability and progress of the insti- tutions of t is country, to see amongst the bone and ew of the people, such evidence of their intre- pidity, rectitude, and patriotism, as were displayed oy them, when, through their intervention, rapine, and sacrilege, and civil war, were suppressed in Phi \adelphia, and to use the language of the Grano Tue Yacut Squapron.—The fleet of yachts were met on Monday morning at 4 o’clock going into Newport.

Seven each having been chosen by the President and Vice President of the Club, the sport began. The order of the sis was six birds each, .and there was provided for the occasion up- wards of 300 wild pigeons expressly obtained trom Canada. The following is the regult of the shoot- ing :— words, my frien ex- Thear that the democrats—we call them de cause they choose it—but whether democrat pure in their notions and let us treat them with ¢ Democrats and some of I hear it said, t! ere Thuve been en sy r I shall be responsible for Georgia.

The outsiders had the best of the game at the less cost. The poor creatures had nota chance. The firing wae somewhat like that on the fourth of July—they could not turn one wey or the other but they were popped at, and it was only some three or four that escaped—the others fell within a few yards outside the boundary. The shooting of Mr. J. Prindler excited some astonishment, as he was reckoneo one of the best shots in the club—we need only refer to the table to show how theyreckoned with- out ther host. On the same side the shooting of Mr. Milburn was altogether as good, and elicited consiaerable approbation throughout—not a bird escaped him, and it was done with such ease and elegance, if the expression may be allowed ; every bird that rose to him fell within a few yards of the trap as dead as a herring. Of the shooting of the others on his side, the table will speak. Nexi to Mr. Milburn, Mr. Wilson’s shooting drew forth great admiration, although not quite so de- cided ashot, yet sufficiently so fora good sporis- man—the only one he missed appeared to be in consequence of his piece hanging fire, or a slight delay in his pullmg the trigger. Of the shooting of the others the table will speak. The next was a sweepstakes, 8 birds each, of which the following is the result:— It reminded him of an old Nigger he had e Lord might come and carry him up to heaven.— ht and tay who's der, in door, the nigger cries out Who ? says the nigger. “The angel jin replied the master. ‘ Oh !” cried the (Laughter) Nullification was Calhoun’s took a cursory glance at the id went ur They were all under one glori- mery, and the other whig cause, concluded emid loud cheering.

Tt was a match for $100, mile heats, bes three in five, in harness, between Fairy Queen (W. Whelan), John G. Galhoun (I Whelp- ly), Aggy Down (Hiram Woodruff). The betting was allin tavor of Aggy Down, previous to the race, and was freely backed against either one of the others, but not against the field. They went forth in good style, but ere they reached the 4, it became evident that Aggy must mend his manners, or else he would be shut out; and that the Fairy also would have to Jook sharp, or she would not be in a better position; John kept 1creasing his distance between the others for the rest of the way, und came home shutting Aggy Down out, and very nearly ditto with the Fairy, The second heat was very similar to the first, and it was generally supposed that if Whelply had rushed for it, the Fairy, in this heat, would have shared the fate of Aggy Down in the first.
