M, im the Elm street Syaegogue, forthe purpose oi electing certain officers. The strong impression that prevailed not only among persona unconnected with either of the two opposing parties, but amongst themselves also, led us to believe that there would be sume peculiarities in their proceedings worthy was a likeiibood of a good deul of wrang- ling and tumult between the hostile par- ties, and we therefore concluded to send a reporter to give a faithful account of the pro- ceedings. Another reason also induced us to do so. However isolated aud apathetic the Jewish people live; however carefully they ubstain from the political and religious agitationswi ich are incidental to this as well as every couotry which they inhabit, there is in the present contest a principle involved, which is of primary importance to every citizen ot this repuolic, and the triumph of which should be dear to him, and that isthe freedom of the elective franchise. One party of the dercendants of Abra- ham are-for restricting the right of voting to a mi- nor part of their congregation; ‘heir opponents, im- baed with the feelings of citizens of this country, combat that nurrow, aristecratical anu foreign principle ; they have resolved to oppose it, and are prepared to appeal to the laws of this country to sustain them ia their position. It will be seen then that there is a principle at ireue between the two pirties which comes home to everybody, and that we did not attach tuo much importance to the Is rieliush © e/tiva in sendiug @ eporier to note heir proceedings. Accordingly, at a few minutes before 4 o'clock, our reporter was in attendance at the Elm street Synagogue. A large coucourse of the members of that place of worship had already assembled, and others were. constantly arfiving to swell the num- ber. Much anxiety was exhibited, indeed every one seemed on the gut vive for what was to tol- low. Evidences of strong feeling were manifested om every hand by the groups of persons who col- lected about the precincts ot the church, and who were eagerly engaged in debating the topics con- nected with their business there, Their bustling and noise showed that they were not much accus- tomed to transact public business; and in nothing was this more manifest than the suspicious looks and sinister regarde, and in one or two instances the uncourteous allusions which the presence «f our reporter elicited. It may here be proper to obi- serve that the same gentleman attended aon the part of the Herald, the meesing at the Shakspeare Hotel on the previous Ssturday evening, and was courteously received by the young, or as we may term them, the reform party; was politely ap- prized that it was but a preparatory meeting of the electors of one party, whose success might be vi- tia ed by giving publicity to their proceedings; nevertheless, thev expressed their cordial good will, and gave a friendly welcome to the reporter, contenting th:mselvea with a courteous request of record; ia fact it was mooted about that there , ' ~"Saentoga CorrespoudencesNo: 4. U. 8. Horer, Saratoaa, Aug. 9, 1844. ‘the Philosophy of the American National Character. ‘The most striking trait in American character is intensity. This intensity is not instigated or sup pressed by conventional manners. 1: is not, as in the elegant circles of the west end of London, « mark of mauvais ton, to give strong expression to strong sentiments. Coming from the smooth art- ficial level to which manners have reduced what is called good society in London and Paris to thit country, seems as it were muunting on the crater of a sucial volcano. The American thinks in- tensely—feels intensely —acts inrensely; aud, what is more, speaks as he thinks, feels and acts. Ar his institutions are free, almost to a fault, so ere his words, acta and thoughts. There isthe same unrestrained freedom in his manners. When he broke his political chains, he also emancipated himself trom those not less severe ones imposed by social usages. This uobridied liberty, combined with a sanguine temperament, leads occasionslly to consequences,which seem ridiculous and absurd to foreigners, and sometimes, though more rarely, to efl-cts which are to b+ seriously deplored by Americans themselves, Wren the feelings of such a people are excited, even by things trivial in their pature, they koow. not where to stop. in the exces sive expression and manifestation of them. They are prone to favoritism; and are the greatest hero- worshippers on the face of the globe. However exalted a principle may be, even the sacred prip- ciples of liberty itself, it inust, 10 be practically ef- fective with them, be identified with some name— it must be impersonated. As the aucienta did homnug» to the Virtues, by incurporating them with | their goes, so these moderus worship principles by identifying them with their heroes. One principle is udvanced by engraving the portrait of Mr. Clay on your letter paper—another is promoted by olow- 1ng your nose in a portrait of Mr. Pelk. The eu- perficial observer would say, ‘persons in this coun- “Death ann Fussrat “or Tae Cosren, Esq —It was our painful duy, a day or two singe, to announce the death ef this gentk~ man, one.of ouroldest aud ——— citizere, The deceased was bora in Ei riesland, Hullane, in Auguet, 1962. Io his youth he was intended for the medical profession, and studied physic and surgery some two years with his brother, long an’ eminent surgeon in the British army, and after. wards at Demerara. Changing his views, he em. barked for America some fifty years ago, aud com menced his active career of business a- a merchant in the city of New York, under the well remem- bered firm of Henry A. & John G. Coster. The elder of the firm died about 1824, leaving a tortune of nearly three millions of dollars, The deceased remained carrying on the business for some eight or tem years afterwards, and then retired uponan ample property; indeed, he has leng been consi- dered as a millionaire. He had been ailing for the last four or five years, but litte otherwise than that of a man of his advanced period of life, except withio the last month or two, and the iast four or five weeks of which time he had been confined to his bed, and was attended by Drs. Francis and | Mott, bis physicians, though without success. Yesterday the Inet painful obsequies were paid to | his remains. Shortiy after four o’clock the body H was brought into the hall of his dwelling, the Gra. | nite Buildings, Broadway, for public inspection ; | and from that hour until six o’clock, several hun- | A dieda viewed it. The deceased had every appear- ance of a hale old man who had just fallen into a | . gentle slumber; nut the slightest appearance of suf- fering or decay was on the countenance. The bedy was placed in a most beautifully polished ma- | hogany coffin, the only ornament upon which was | a silver plate bearing the inscription “*John G Coster, died, August 8, 1844—ag-d 81 years, 11 months, and 13 days.” Shortly after the hour last mentioned, the body was removed to the heurse, & plain but neat carriage, drawn by a pair of gn¥ horses. There could not be fewer persons present in the street at this moment than 1,000, among which might be observed a great rumber of colored persons, male and female, who expressed thems | selves loudly of the varied qualities of the de- | ceased asa friend and employer. The proces- try are every thing—principles nothing.” A deeper insight discovers that persons are here the mere types and representatives of priuciples. This tendency to excess 4 noticed in the fair Americans, by their proneness to exaggeration in that, as their proceedings were of no general in- terest, and as it might be detrimental to the popu- lar cause, theyfshould not be published; at the same time they expressed not only 4 willingness but a desire that a report of the election of the en- suing day should be made, and promised every fa- cility for that purpose. — Thus, standing upon the prescriptive right of the prees—a right never questioned by any who are cipable of understanding the influence and the uuility of a frce and unfettered preas—a right which, as is most fit, has the sanction, ina masked mun- ner, of 1¢ approbation ia this country, and from the exercise of which no taticnal or honest cause has sught to fear—claiming the right to apprize the public of the resuit of this contest, this public election—and to which some mest respectable members of that body invited our reporter— he at- tended, aud was, by a vote of the convened aesem- bly, excluded. It we do not choose to let this matter drop un- Noticed, it is not because we desire to mugnily these exclusive, narrow-minded and ignorant Israelites iato a false. importance ; for we know, as far as they or their affaire, public or private, are concerned, they are not worthy of our serious re- gard. We state the facts to the public that they may know the exact state of public sentiment among the Jewsot this city—their liberality—their love of liberty—thair respect for open and free discussion—and the significant dread they evince at any altempt of the press to take cogui- zance of their hole and corner proceedings. Presuming that thie high-handed and unprece- dented, and most diegraceful attempt to exclude the pres, resulted from complete igaorance ot common usage, our reporter remonstrated with those individuals who took a lJeadivg part in that attempt. ig was altogether in vain that he remind- ed them ot the toleration, and deference extended to persons of his profession; that there was ve pre- cedent for their conduct, and that by pursuing such acoune they would merit aud secure the con- tempt of society; that they had no power to ex- clude a reporter as such, until the wiil of the meet- ing was duly exprested by a resvlution to that ef- fect, and it will hardly be believed that so igno- rant were these liberal Jewish citizens of the dic- tates of common usage afd common senge, that it was trom the gentleman whom they sought to ex- clude they borrowed the hint, and conveyed their wish in the formof a resolution, instead of the im- pertinent and menacing orders whicn were persisted ia by individuals unknown to him, and who refused either through fear or shame, to give their names when asked fur them, In the foregoing remarks we do not wish to re- flect upon the minority on the vote fur excluding our reporter, some of whom declared manfully their detestation of the act, and all of whom took the common sense view of the case. Ae for those skulking, craven und intolerant ignoramuses who set themselves up above general usuge, and con, t:mn public opinion, our contempt is too strong for utterance. Let us condesceffd, however, to tell them that whether Jews or not, as hey claim tre rights of citizeosti,,which this great and glori- ous country extends tu them in common with all sects, kindreds, tongues aud peuple, they ate not at liberty, it is pot becoming in them, nor shall trey be permiited to set up a etandard of their own in the exercise of privileges which are conceded to them by the Jawe, vsuges aud public voice they seen to despise. The Hebrew race ought to be the last in thie, the nineteenth centory«f the Chris- tian era, or if they do not uuderstand Christian chro- nology, the 6848th year of the world according to Moses—they ought to be the lust to kindle a spirit of narrow exclusiveness and reckless dress. It is curious to observe the many other ways in which this national characteristic shows itself. A ballet-dancer comes over trom the Opera of London and Paris. ‘A respectable artiste in her line; but, still, her line not the highest. She lands in New York without a dollar in her purse. Her success in Europe must have been limited, or her improvidence great. She appears at the Park, and, lik? a spark applied to a powder magazine, pro- duces an immediate explosion of enthusiasm, The infection spreads. The epidemic reaches Phila | delphia, Boston, NewPOrleans. East, west, north | and south the contagion rages. This little buffla— this gipsy and grisette of the Academie ¢ oyale finds, to her amazement, that she has become a heroine, that she is deified, that she has ravished from Taglioni the crown of the ballet, and is raised to the title and dignity of La Deesse de la danse. When she appears ia the promenade, she is sur- rounded and saluted like nn European sovereign. The horses are taken from her carriage, and the American public harness themrelves toit. When she appears on the stage, it is in a shower of roses, the offerings of the admiring public ; and, afier a triumphant progress through this great country, she retires to her own, carrying with her an hundred thousand dollars, and sailing out of Boston harbor under a salute from the national ships stationed there, their bands playing alternately the Ca- chucha and Yankee Doodle ! A clever writer of popular tiction and successful delineation of English low life is induced to meke 8 flying visit to the States, pattly, as is understood, with a view to see what could be done by some measure cf international copy-right, to increase the profits of the labors of himself and his literary friends, and partly to concoct a “tour” for the London market. No sooner is his approach an- nounced than deputations are sent on from New York and other cities to Boston, to lay at his august feet the homage of the American people; one to solicit the honor of his illustrious presence et a public dinner, to be given him by the citizens of —; another to supplicate his benign countenance to a masquerade to be given in his honor at ——; another not presuming to aspire to the hooor of a dinner or ball, entreats his auspicious presence ata public supper. Hund:eds of letters are found on | his table each morning from gentlemen asking for | his autograph, and from ladies asking for a lok of his hair. The (iteratewr is lost in amazement ;— asks his wife, is che sure he is awake I—rubs bis eyes—opens his eare—and at length, satirfied that he is not in a dream, assumes the dignity forced upon him,—holds levees and receptious—is op- preased by the worship that is tendered, und at | length actuully finds it necessary to implore the | public to epare him. These excesses are national foibles; but they are foibles of a generous, confiding, warm-hearied people. They proceed from an ardent disposition to admire and reward what is believed to be ex- cellent im any department; from a willingness to err by overrating, rather than underrating, the pre- tensions of genins. Many of the silly extubitions | we have referred to are to be ascribed to the lower and younger, the leré educated and less experienced classes, acting upon their own impulser, indepen- dently of the higher and elder, the better educated, | More refined and experienced classes. According to the usage of Europe, the latter portion of society lead and originate all great and general movements of the social body.
