NEW YORK HERALD "New Werk, Saturday, August 10, baa. SSS ANOTHER SPLENDID WEEKLY IERALD! ILLUSTRATED EDITION OF THE* AMERICAN MINSTRELSY! We will publish at 9 o’clock this morning, ano- ther illustrated 4 eck’y Herald, with a series of ad- mirable engravings, from original and exceedingly clever designs, illustrative ot our edition of the pa- tional lyrics of the United States, or the Clay and Polk songs. This is the first bursting forth of the national poetic genius. This collection of poems is also an important and invaluable part of the history of the times. The engravings are perfect gems of art. Price of the whole only 6} cents. The Morals of Politics. We have given our readers some illustrations of the “Poetry of Pelitcs” and the “ Idola- try of Politics.” We also presented there, on a former occasion, with a somewhat copious collection of extracts from the party papers, in or- der to show the manner in which the present con- test is conducted by them. We continue, on the first page of our paper to-day, this exposition of the “ Morals of Politics.” Whea we have given in our columns faithful and accurate reports of proceedings in Congress, and of movements of various descriptions through- out the country, these party prints have been in the habit of raising a hideous outcry against us. They have cal'edus “libellers,” “ liars,” “ blackguards,” and all the opprobrious epithets which their 1e- markable attainments in the literature of Billings- gate enabled them to apply. But what a picture of the society—of the civilization—of the morals—ot the public decency of the United States do these very virtuous and respectable, and dignified party jour- nals present! They lubor with all their might to convince the civilized world that the people of the United States are fighting with might and main for the purpose of electing as their President one of the greates: rascals in Christendom. What grosser and More mulignant libel could be perpetrated on the institutions and people of this great republic? It is for the purpose of counteracting the influ. ence of those wholesale libellers of American li- berty—American institutions—and / merican mo- ra's, that we have from time to time collected and exposed.to the indignant rebuke of an intelligent and respectable community these foul and filthy sianders, falsehoods, and gross persoualities of the political prints of this country. And we have reae #0n to believe that we have not altogether failed in eff-cting our object. The enlightened and decen- cy-loving portion of society have become thorough- ty disgusted with the conduct of these party edi- tors, and the conviction that political strife and reckless partizanship are the disgrace and ruin of apy country, 16 impressing itself more and more torcibly on the public mind from day to day. Prospects of the Whig Campaign. The oftive-hunters, old hunkers, and young aspi- rants in the ranks of the whigs ot this city, are making tremendous efforts to secure the election of Mr. Clay. They are collecting a large amount of funds, and certainly so far as the “sinews of war” are concerned, they have the advantage of the locofocos. There is a very great complaint amongst the ‘* old hankers” and wire-pullers of the democracy, that they can’t get the people to “bleed” well this season. The whigs, however, have no reason to complain as yet. The other day Siephen Whitney, Wm. B. Astor, and a num- ber of other leading whigs, subscribed five hundred dollars each for electioneering purposes, another iustalment on their shares of Clay stock—and since the commencement of the campaign a very large sum of money has been collected in this city. Aad this money goes tast enough. There are an unprecendented number of wandering Kentucky muostrels and itinerant whig orators out this season Their mouths are to be ted, and their carcases clothed—taliow candles to illuminate their halls, and rockets to amuse the boys, must be paid for— « Junius” cannot be suffered to starve in a garret— and the patriotism of whig publicans does not ab- solutely make them so mud as to induce them to pour out their ‘“ brandy-smashers” for nothing. So money is absolutely necessary, and the rich whigs do “bleed.” The truth is that the whigs are working very hard just now. At the commencement of the campaign, they were so confident of success—so quite certain that Mr. Clay would walk over the course, that they could do little besides celeorating his triamph in imagination. Now, however, a change has come over the spirit of their dream, and they begin to act as if they thought that some exertion is really necessary in order to elect their illustrious leader. We believe that in this State, the whigs are more efficiently organized than they ever were. In Ohio, and Pennsylvania—they are also well orgauized, and it will be those States, and the great State of New York, which will con- stitute the great battle-field of 1844. Inthe whig raoks, all is unity and harmony, and the only ques- tion is, does there exist at the present momenta sufficient degree of excitement to bring out the full strength of the whig party at the pells next November? We are very much disposed to think that the full strength of the whigs will not be mustered at the polls. The result of the election in Louisiana, and so far as we can now judge of that in North Caro- lina, leads us to entertain the opinion that there does not exist that pervading and exciting interest in this campaign, amongst the masses of the whigs, which will bring them out in full array. Some of the whig organs appear to be of the same way of thinking. Mr. Philosopher Greeley, who has been itinerating very extensively, and who speaks out with a great deal of candor—occasion- ally rather too much candor, in the opinion of some of the more unscrupulous and cunning of his party, seems painfully sensible of the great absence of enthusiasm in the whig ranks, and is very loudly ealliug on the Fourierite section and all the other sections, including the “* Young Ulay Clubs,” under the renowned General Reyuolds—the “ waiters at Long’s” under Chevalier Wikeff—the magnificent clique of stock-jubbers who are represented in the dirty columns of the New York American and kin dred priats—and the wise men of the East, with the “godlike” at their head—to come out with more spirit. Greeley tells them that ash-poles and Clay songs are very well in their way, but they didu’t save the whigs from ‘elegant threshings’ in past years, nor will they now. But still we doubt much, notwithstanding all this whipping and spurring, whether the masses will me out with that universal enthusiasm which is absolutely necessary to secure the success of the whig cause. And one great reason for our enter- taining ‘this opinion is, the remarkable degree of prosperity which at present prevails The country 1s unusually prosperous. It is going ahead with remarkable—with, we believe we may say, unj ralleled rapidity, and so it must continue te go on. People have grown wiser by experience, and do not Jook to a change of goverament, or to politi- ciang, for the elements of national prosperity. In- dustry and enterprize, with as litile legisiative in- terference as possible, are regarded as the eurest and only safe and certain mean; of attaining na- tional and individual prosperity. The diflerence in the issues between the parties has been considera- bly modified. On the Texas question the great mass of the people, both whigs and locofocos, are of one mind. None but fanatics and fools lifi their voices against it. Some politicul leaders muy try to make capital out of this subject by magnify ing d.fferences of opinion about its setilement, and some of them may declaim against Texas, but the annexation of that territory, sooner or later, is in- evitable, and the people will go for it with una- ected in flocks as large, a ‘question of the tanft, the difference between Mr. Polk and Mr. Clay would appear, from the declarations of some of their adherents, to be mora nominal than real. Altogether, there is every reason to believe that the present contest will not bring: out, to the fullest ¢x- tent, the forces of either of the great parties. But all this does not lead to thee conclusion that the contest will not be a close amd hard-fought one. 11 will be a ciose and eurnem@s struggle. We only place the consequences of the want of excitement amongst the whigs, aa an offset to those which tmay result from the squabble # at present disturbing their opponents, This makes the edds tolerably even, and in sucha nicely bidanced state of things, he slightest accident er movement may at any time before the election entirely change the whole aspect of affairs. Warenine Piaces.—A great rush may be fairly expected to take place to the several enchanting spots which encompass our city on all sides, by its dust covered denizens and toiling traders, to-mar- row. Why should they not? ‘ All work and no play”—you know the rest. There is no reason why the useful, the industrious classes—the sta- mina «fthe common weal—should not enjoy them- selves a8 weil as those lazy, loitering, listless crea- tures, who are dying by inches—who become small by degrees and beautifully less, for want ot something to do. There is Saratoga—as full of such specimens of animal existence as it can be—as full of them as they are of Pavillion, or Congress, or some other water. Oae would be tempted to think that every individual who has nothing else to do, goes to Sa- ratoga—to see if by getting tired of it they might c-ase being tired of themselves. Barristers with- oat briefs, doctors without patients, clergymen without souls, and girls with busiles instead of bodies, and few admirers but themselves, are col- marvellously tame, as western pigeons. Politicians, to be sure, are exceptions to the rule; forin these times of politi. cal excitement, it cannot be eaid their occupation’s gone, and that they repair to Saratoga like other people, for want of other employment. There are many great guns expected shortly—amongst the rest Martin Van Buren. Sahooley’s Mountain, on the contrary, although a place of high repute, is nothing like infested, and cranamed, and overrun like Saratoga. It is the safe retreat of health and peace; the select retire- ment of those who can appreciate the tranquil, the beaatitul, the graceful charms of nature, and the interchange of genuine gond breeding, not the vul- gar, theforced and simulated, extravagant efforts of your parvenues to be accounted distingué and genteel, Schooley’s Mountain is from all accounts a most desirable abode for all, no matter what the stare of the bodily health, provided they be of sound mind—the latter is of less consequence at Saratoga. Sharon Springs, too, deserves more than a pass- ing notice; and we could point out many attrac- tions to be met with at Stamford, which is about forty miles’down the Long Island Sound. A ball at which we were present there, fornishes one of the most pleasing reminiscences of our social career; to Stamford wonld be our route, were we sure of meeting with certain young friends we might men- tion. But there is still nearer heme than any of the aforesaid staticns, others as attractive in every way, and which deserve to be patronised better than{the former remote and crowded ones. If we want see breezes and bathing—if we want ‘the ocean to surround us, but not to bear us on”—if we like clams and oysters, and all sorts of marine Tarities, where need we go further to find them than Coney Island, Bath, or Flushing. If we re- lish the beautiful in landscape, the softened, blended ard united influences of nature and art, where need we search for them beyond Clifton, or New Brighton, on Staten Island? Have you relish for rural felicity ? just go down to Long Branch or Ocean House in Jersey ; but if you have a profound respect for the comforts which nature and art have provided to mitigate the ardor of thistorrid season, you can drive out to Nowlan’s, at Prospect Hill, or Burnham’s, on the Bloomingdale Road ; but if all the aforesaid dainties and diversions are essen- tial to your comfort, then your easiest plan is to go over to Hoboken, and enjoy the evening quietly with a friend or two, or as many more as you want, and all other matters into the bargain. Mapte. Boraugse at Saratoea.—The charm- | ing Borghese has returned to this city after reaping a great harvest of laurels and dollars at Saratoga. She gave two Concerts there, which are represent- ed as beiog attended by a brilliant and crowded assemblage of the beauty and fashion of that fa- mous watering-place. She had intended making a tour to Canada, but the earnest solicitations of a great number of fushionable people at Newport, have induced her to give up that for the present, and to give a Concert at Newport, for which place she leaves town to-day. When at Saratoga, a little incident occurred which marked, in a striking manner, the kind and amiable disposition of the fair and gifted Borghese. She attended a ball one evening at the “United States,” and was there encountered by Korponay, who looked very disconsolate, and almost the image of despair. The poor fellow could not pre- vail on any lady to dance the “Polka,” and he had no opportunity ef introducing that fascinating and bewitching dance. As a dernier resort he ask- ed the nonor of Borghese’s hand, which was at once ‘given, and amid the unconcealed delight and ad- miration of the crowded saloon, the fair Canta- | trice whirled round the room in the mazes of that | most picturesque danc® The result was, that the | “Polka” is now the rage. Korponay next day had | seventy-five pupils at ten dollars a lesson! Marint Hosritan —We learn that sailors who | have paid hospital money: in this port for years, | cannot obtain admittance to this institution when | sick and in distress. In one particular instance a | sailor who hes for six years paid his money regu- | larly, has been sent from one place to another, ap- | plying to this one and that, without obtaining ad- | mittance or the slightest hope. We should like to know whose duty itis to attend to this deserving, but much abused class of cit zens, who are com- | pelled to pay so much ‘from their hard earned , wages, and when actually in want of succor are! turned away without relief. Very few eailors will ask for help unless they are sick and unable to help | themselves. They pay for care and attention should | they be taken sick, while in health—many pay | much more than they ever reqyire returned, and | those who are peid fron funds raised by a tribute | forced from every seaman, should at least possess sufficient humanity to atterd to them when in- | valids. Governor’s Istanp Feary.—We understand it isin contemplation to establish a ferry between the Battery and Governor’s Island. ‘The little iron steamer “Ida” is to be put on-; and as visitors may calculate upon the courtesy of the military on the Island, a fine opportunity will be furnished to see the fort and its warlike resources. There will in all probability be a large businees done on this line by the little steamer. New Rartway Prosect.—At Middletown, a few days ago, a public meeting was held to take into consideration the project of a new railroad be- tween Middletown and Providence, passing through Norwich. This line, via New Haven, Norwich, and Providence, to Boston, would be a short one, Democratic Conripentiat.” Movement ov tue Evenine Posr Ciique.—The eminently cunning and saga- cious cligue, represented by the Evening Post of of 3 Ph ‘ ‘unjust, dishon- this city, have certainly reasom to con 4 Mexico And themselves on the success of thei * confidemtial™ at cireular movement. 1t works mairvellously well papers claim | Ae we predicted ot the time this firebrand ix one, spreading contusion, distufbauer, and disunion in ‘4 hearted De all quarters of the democratic camp.

Tne Texas Prot.—This notable plot was got up, as every body now understands, for the expreas purpose of chea ing Mr. Van Buren ont of the nomination at Balti- more Having uccomplushed its object, we were in he that nothing more would be heard of it” ‘The proposition to annex Texas to the Union with ell its wars, its debta, its undefined boundaries and its slaves, tor the purpose of setting i veral new slave States, was received with a burst of honest indignation throughou the North, as well as aconsiderable portion of the South. The press de- nounced it, and the ublest statesmen in the land denounced it, without distinction of party, and it was put down in the Senate by an overwhelming mejority. ‘The letter of Mr. Van Buren ogainst it, will be read throughout all co- ming time as one of the ablest and soundest productions ot theage. Butin an evil hour, and under evil aivice, a rerolution was passed at the Baltimore Convention in favor of annexation ut the earliest practicable period—an un- mode of expression, which ren- ders the resolution disreputable and (raudulent if it means nothing, and highly objectionable if it means any thing.” —Catskitl Recorder. We cail the attention of our readers to the above, which we take from the Cutskill Recorder, a paper protessedly Democratic. It is the associate and adjunct of the Albany Atlas, @ paper which has obtained an unenviable notori- ety in tabricating the most atrocious calumnics against Gov. Bouck, and o! which it stands convicted by the most ample testimony. It has also been one of the most voci ferous in the attempt to bring the name of Mr. Wright, nolens volens, into the contest a8 a candidate for Governor, with a view to * harmon: the party, as it hus most je- suitically pretended It effurds us peculiar gratification to say that there is no peper in this State ‘sing to be Democratic, aside from the Evening Post and the Recorder, which js either disposed or has the temerity to deal in such wholesalo de- uunciation of the great national iesne presented to the country in the proposition to annex Texas to the United States.” It is wickedly ond unpatrioticully denominated by this Catskill pop ras a “ notuble piot got up for the express purpose oi deteating Mr. Von Buren”—us a mea- sure “ denounced by the press—denounced by the ablest jatesmen in the land without distinetion of party”—as put down in the Senate by an overw ing mojority” and Mr. Van Buren’s name in drawn in as an opponent of annexation ! §These are what Jobn Randolph would erm “A category of unmaintainuble propositions.” The question of annexation was one which struck home to the heart of ever: re men American citizen the very r public discussion. Andrew Jackson was the very head and front of this “notable plot,” and from his quiet Hermituge sent forth to his countrymen words of udvice and warning. He told them ¢ golden opportunity mnst not be lost.” ‘Texas must be ours, or she must be a dependence of Britain, Who will dare charge that that noble souled man was at the ead of a plot to cheat Mr. Van Buren out of the nomina- tion?‘ Denounced by the press!” But not by the De- mocratic press. ‘Ihe question of annexation, ax wih every other question involving our national’ interest, contra-distinguished from British interests, was de- nounced and is denounced all over by the Federal. ists and their organs. The denunciation comes with Nothing else did we expect, and we would have doubted the correctness ot our conclusions in favor of annexation were we sustained by. the Federal party and their organs. — “ Denounced,” says this sapient journalist, “by the ablest statesmen in the land, and pnt down in the Senate by en overwhelming majori y !” The only distinguished states man on our side who hes deneunced it, has been Col.
