NEW YORK New York, Wednesday, August 14, 1844, ‘The Decency of the Party Press. ‘We continue on our first page the extracts from the leading articles of the organs of both parties. And these are the the papers which arrogate to themselves all the decency, respectability and mo- ral influence of the newspaper press in this coun- try! Read these extracts, all ye who revere the institutions and would defend the honor of your country, and blush for these representatives of the political press of the United States! Thank Heaven, however, there is a power which will yet chastise these corrupt party prints into decency, and that is independent public journalism. A Visit to the Mountains of New Jersey. One of the pleasantest excursions in the neigh- borhood of this city, is that to the mountains of New Jersey, about sixty miles from New York. The route lies through one’of the most picturesque and delightful districts that can possibly be met with in any section of the Union. ‘The mountains are accessible in one day with the greatest ease and comfort imaginable. The traveller starts by the Railroad cara from the me- tropolis at8 o’clock in the morning, and arrives at Morristown in twofand a quarter, or two and a half hours; and from thence to Schooley’s mountain, a distance of twenty miles over the mountains, is ac- complished instagesinafew hours. This drive is indeed most delightful, the road being pictureeque in the extreme, now passing over a high hill, and now through a_ pleasant valley sleeping in the shade, whilst the prospect at every point presents the most varied and agreeable landscape in the world—the deep green woods—the richly cultivated fields—the lofty verdant hills—the cottages and farm-houses glistening in the bright sun—glimpses of distant meuntains—waterfalls, glittering like silver, tar away in the hills—all ma. king up a scene so varied, s0 new, so calm and peaceful, that the weariest soul experiences its blise- ful influences, and soars for the time from this world of disquietude, to a land of purer airs and softer skies of its own creation. On every hand the scene is truly American. There is a vastness and a grandeur in the landscape peculiarly charac- teristic. The very(sky itself seems loftier, and the air freer than in the lands beyond the sea ; and one cannot but be deeply impressed with the character of happiness and prosperity with which the whole scene appears to be impressed. It seemaasif peace and liberty rejoiced together, as they walk hand in hand amid those quiet hills, and that their solemn words of prophecy and triumph, are echoed by a thousand airy voices in the amiling vales below. Morristown is a charming little village. There is here one of the finest hotels in the country—a building, which in point of extent, elegance, and comtortable accommodation, has nothing to fear from comparison with the Astor House itself, and capable of lodging one hundred persons with the Greatest ease, and in the first style. This fine building has been erected by the munificence of Mr. Gibbons—the famous steambvat proprietor. At this moment a number of the most respectable families in New York are rusticating at this house; the male branches generally visiting the city every day, going and retnraing by the railroad. The parlors and dining-rooms, are of the most spacious and elegant dimensions—and the bed rooms are so many models of neatness, elegance, and comfort. One of the great charms of a residence at Morri town, is the cool, delicious, health-infusing morn- ing and evening air. No matterhow hot the noon- day sun, in the quiet evening the air is cool, fra- grant, and refreshing, as if it came from the bower of Paradise. At Schooley’s Mountain there are two houses of entertainment—one is “‘Belmont Hall,” conducted by Mr. Hinchman,—the other, conducted by Mr. Marsh. Belmont Hall is a large building, capable of accommodating upwards of one hundred visitors. It stands on a point elevated about twelve hundred feet above the level of tide-water. It has spacious piazzas, and is sheltered from the rays of the sun by a soleran old wood, of tall and venerable forest trees on one side, and a beautiful apple orchard on the other. Marshs’s house is of emaller dimensions, but is surrounded by a number of lodging houses, which enable the proprietor to accommodate as wiany visitors as Belmont Hall. The houses are situated within a few rods of each other, and both are distant about one mile and a quarter from the “spring,” which bubbles up from the mountain brow, and is considered of great efficacy in calcu- lous complaints. Belmont Hall is very well conducted. The rooms are extremely cool, clean, airy and comfort able, and the table is always well laid out, and provided with an abundant supply of the good things of this life; towbich the bracing mountain air enables the guest to do ample justice. One of the principal amusements at this place is driving about the country, and riding on horseback. At Belmont Hall there are several good trotting horses, and the exercise is, we need hardly say, very beneficial to people from this city. Ateach of the houses there is a amall band of music; and generally in the even- ing there is a social dance, in which tnose fond of that amusement enjoy themselves very much. There is none of the bustle and noise, and confusion and pretension here, that are met with at the huge watering-places where the crowds go. One of the peculiar features of this part of New Jersey is its locofocoism. It is quite over-run with locofocoism. At almost every cross-road you see a tall hickory-pole, sometimes old and marked with the frosts of years, and sometimes still bear- ing all the evidences of being recently planted.— Very few ‘‘ash-poles” are to be met with—the soil appears to be quite barren of them. On Saturday last the locotocos had three or four meetings in different directions in this region of the mountains. One was held at Hope, another at Anderson, and others at other places. The meeting at Madison was attended by the Hon. Eli Moore, of this city, Joo. S. Bush and A. Welles, Esqra_ All of these gentlemen spoke, and also Mr. Crane of Missiesippi. The whole affair was a sort of holyday tothe country peoplein the neighborhood, and the boys and girls had a regular “‘frolic.”’— There were probably upwards of twelve hundred persons on the ground, of all ages and both sexes, After eating a famous country dinner of capital roast pig and boiled chickens, interlarded with fresh butter, ho. corn and apple pies, and washed down with native whiskey, the crowd adjourned to abeautiful apple orchard, and there listened to Mr. Moore, who made a great speechto them of three hours length, from a stump immediately be- neath « glorious old apple-tree—the clusters of ripe golden fruit hanging about his head. He spoke of the tariff and other matters in the usnal style of “Tammany Hall, only a little more spicy, to suit the country appetite. Mr. Crane and Mr. Bush tollow- ed, and Mr. Welles wound up with a very capital epvech. Jo these political gatherings the ladies, it appears, are as much, if not more, in earnest than the men. They go in crowds in their wagons to all these meetings. ladeed this region is quite overrun with locofoevism, the only spot free from it being the top of the mountain, where the houses of entertain- ment are situated; and they are filled mostly with good respectable whigs from Philadelphia and New York. Many of these visitors,do not dare to de- scend the mountain for fear of being infected by the prevailing epidemie; and, in several instances, those who have gone to the valley below have come back quite changed men. Cuarmino Fxcursion.—The “Thistle Agssocia- tion” of this city—a benevolent and most meritori- ous society—inake an excursion next Friday up the Hadson in the crack steamboat, the “South Ame- rica.” The proceeds are to be appropriated to the relief of widows and orphans. Fare only fifty cents, “Stepup to the Captain's office and settle.” land, and she will probably reach Boston on Sa- turday or Sunday next. She left Liverpool on the 4th inst., and will, therefore, bring fifteen days later news. It is said, that in the event of the arrival of the steamer at Boston, after the mail leavesthat city on Saturday afternoon, and before Monday morn- ing, the government will forward her mail bags by express, and thus anticipate the regular mail from twelve to twenty-four hours. This is what the go- vernment ought to have done a long time ago. It has been apparent to the public, that for the last two or three years, we have beaten the post office almost as often as the steamers have arrived at Boston. This has aroused the government, and they are now determined to act. Let us see what they will do. Political Movements, We present below another “ secret circular,” de- signed only for the private eye of the postmasters and office holders of the present administration. We did not obtain it from the “State Printer” at Albany, although it appears that it is in contem- plation to establish a Central Administration paper at the seatof the State government. From the cha- racter of this circular, we firmly believe that it will create a tremendous sensation, almost approaching to that produced by the Anti Texas Bulletin, and doubtless the Whigs will use them both as paper shields to ward off some of the shot of the enemy. Bat here is the circular:— ‘Wasuinaton, Jolt. 1844, Sin :—The position in which the friends ot President Tyler have placed him by the proceedings of the late Ty- ler National Convention at Baltimore, leaves us no alter- native but prompt and energetic measures in his behalf, ‘Whatever may bethe resule, it is our duty to the President, to ourselves,and to the country to make Vigorous and unit- edefforts. ©) ganization in each Stute and in each county is indispensabie. An Electoral Ticket must also be at pace pxenaes and all other necessary and proper measures lopted To carry out effvctually the purposes we have in view, it is also indispensable that our friends rally in support of our Central Organ in this city, and also place the local Administration papers in each State on elevated ground, and beyond the reach of contingency. Most of our presses ler incumbrances,arising trom that want of a gene- rous support which they had a right to expect from the friends of the Administration, and which was alike due to them, to the cause, and to friends. We must, there- fore, be permitte’ to urge upon you and pee iN those whose position and whose relation to the Ad- ministration authorises adirect appeal to them, te show themselves, and manifest the sincerity of their ‘adhesion to the Administration, by at once coming up to the rescue of our presses, by placing them op a anent basis, In no other mode can the principles of the Admin- istration be developed—in no other mode can we complete that organization necessary to our success, and in no other mode can eur professed friends at this late period in the canyass, so effectually prove that their professions of friendahip to the Administration are not merely profes- sions. In this appeal to our true and genuine friends, we feel that there is no propriety in using other than plain and intelligible language, and that in no other way ean we upply the pr per tests by which to judge the real feelings and purposes of those who aver that they are friends of the Administration. The time has passed when rofessions alone can be relied upon, and if those who Firnish ‘no other proof than professions should hereafter be classed with and treated as our enemies—theirs will be the fault. They have an opportunity of making a selec- tion of their position Those who are friends in truth, desire John ‘Ty ler’s success—those who desire will use their exertio: ind all the proper means to pro- mote it ~and those who would promote it have new an apportunity of furnishing the evidence that such is their end and aim. May we, Sir, expect that you will promptly act upon our suggestions, as your own sense of propriety and your feelings towards our cause nay prompt you ? ‘The following pepers in your State are, in our judg- ment entirely to be relieved from their embarrassments, and to be placed on a permanent basis by the friends of the Administration. Your obedient servant, N M. MILLER, Corresponding Secretary of the Tyler National Central Committee. My Dear S1n—At the earnet jlicitation of the leading friende of the President, I shall iasue a Central Adminis. tration paper, at Albany, called “The New York Stat Republican,” which, they’ say, must and shall be sustal ed. You are, therefore, requested to enclose tomy dress, at that place, upon the receipt of this, what you wil contribute therefor, in addition to your subscription for the Weekly for one year, or return this Cirewar and Prospectus Yours very respectfully, HIRAM CUMMING. The spirit and tone of this circular is most pecu- liar and amusing. The draft onthe ‘‘real feelings” of the friends of Tyler evinces much tact, and the intimation to those office holders who refuse to contribute to the support of this political black mail newspaper, to return the circular and prospec- tus, is full of meaning and intent. Many a poor devil who now holds place will open his eel skin wallet and send a five or ten on account, while others of more wisdom will hold on, waiting the action of the political tide betore they part with any spare funds to support a third ticket. We shall watch this‘‘confidential”movementthe second,with great anxiety. Great times these—the contest thick- ens apace—and the Tyler men willbe the death of us yet, with their infinite and ever varying fun and humor. ‘Tue Empire Cuve of this city turn out in grand procession to-morrow uight, to arouse the de- mocracy of the city and county. They will be ac- companied by Lothian’s excellent band, and the display of banners, empty cider barrels, coon skins, and other emblems, will excite much attention. Tur Wuic Mass Convention of the river coun- ties will be held at Albany, on Tuesday, the 27th instant. They also hold a mass meeting at Sing Sing to- day. All the Clay clubs of the city go up inthe steamboat Columbus this morning at 8 o’clock. The democrats are preparing for a mass meeting at Newburgh, or some other point on the river. The democracy of Jefferson and the adjacent counties, gather in mass meeting at Watertown on the 20th inst.; the democracy of Oswego, at Mexico, onthe 22d; the democracy of Onondaga on the 24th, at Skaneateles. Each of these assemblages will be addressed by the Hon. Silas Wright. They will, without doubt, be numerously attended. The Democratic State Convention of Massachu- setts, meet to-day at Worcester to nominate a Goy- ernor, Electors, &c. The democrats of this city assemble in ward meetings next Tuesday, to select delegates to re- present them at the Syracuse Convention, to nomi- nate a Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Electors, &e. Tue Nasuvitte Convention.—This will be a tremendous gathering. The locofocos of the south- west will be there in tens of thousands. ‘Old Hickory” is to preside, and his appearance there will be as that ot a prophet arisen from the dead.— All the great orators and leaders of the south and west will be there. The young democrats of the north will be represented by Mr. Gansevort Mel- ville—a stalwart son of the Empire State, and good chip of the hickory tree, if we may judge of him by the abuse which he shares with Mr. Polk’s grandfather, and all the other subjects of the polite attention of the respectable party presses of the whigs. Amusing. —It is often very amusing to read the bursts of patriotic feeling which are occasionally met with inthe party papers. We think the Demo- cratic journals blow off the gas in this way rather more vigorously than their opponents. The Ple- beian yesterday in a long bombastic article, talked about the hearts of the Democrats “ dilating with joy” at the prospect of extending the blessings ot free government into the p'ains of Texas. The only “ dilating” we believe in, is that of the nos- trils of these same patriotic politicians, when their olfactories are snuffing up the steam of the flesh- pots. _—_—— Tue Jews.—Another meeting of Young Israel was held last night, in furtheranee of the object of their recent movement. This will be a notable affair yet, albeit, many valorous and mighty men are holding back from the struggle, “‘ nursing their wrath to keep it warm ;” among the rest Old Noah, who, it is surmised, ia, in imitation of his great progenitor, engaged in building an ark, wherewith to escape from the rising tribulation of the faith- tul, Toyour tents, O Israe|! TraveLiine, &e.—The city is full of strangers from all parts of the Union—the watering places are agreeably crowded to suflocation—money is flying in all directions—the Polka is the rage at Saratoga—and the good old times of “ water lots” are coming again VAL OF THE PuiapeLraia Natives.—At @ little after three o’clock yesterday afternoon, quite @ crowd had collected on the Battery to see those very wonderful native strangers. On entering by either of the numerous gates, an advertisement, in plain, legible round hand, which showed some proficiency in the art of writing, met the reader’s eye, and gave him an invitation, if a real Ameri- can Republican, to go on board the **South Ame- rica” steamer, which was to leave the wharf at two o’clock, for the purpose of escorting the breth- ren from the sister city, of glorious, ,ious and flaming memory. We were one of the majority who stopped, thinking it quite enough good fortune in one day if we could get a glimpse of those he- roes either upon land or water. The good steamer shortly after came in sight on her return, and it was immediately discernible that she had had the good fortune to speak the craft ‘ Native,” on its perilous voyage from Philadelyhia to New York— almost the first time it was ever accomplished by any of that enterprizing, but recently discovered race of men—the natives. Slap went a cannon— bang went another, and so on, until there was @ very neat and decent bit of a smoke raised, in which the South America was enveloped as com- pletely as‘*Walter the doubter,” when, pozed with legal points and Dutch paradoxes, he aflectionately besougnt, in the fumes of his meerschaum, that wherewith he might become logical and clear enough in his intellect to sift his difficulties. [t was rather a mystified sight to look at the spot where the steamer was supnosed to be enveloped in clouds of smoke. We endeavored to catch a glimpse of the Fort on Governor's Island new and again, thinking that sympathy with the smell of powder, if not respect for the renowned ship ‘‘ Na- tive,”? would induce them to give her a few rounds. With feelings of deep commisseration for their disappointment, we have to record that, albeit the Philadelphians and their escort, passed in most provoking familiarity quite close to the Fort, and the North Carolina, the Princeton, &c-, they were utterly neglected, and left to waste their powder on the desert air. After ascending the North River asfar as Canal street, the steamer returned to pier No. 1, anda procession was formed, and every effort made to increase it on its way to the Battery. Inthe mean- time this notable craft, the ‘ Native,” had come in sight, manned by some ten men, in a commo- dious summer garb of red flannel shirts and black oilskin caps, and anchored about one hundred yards from the Battery wall. She wasagood deal gazed at, but we are not aware that the scrutinizing eyes of the crowd discovered more than that she was about 12to 15 tons, full rigged asa ship, orna- mented with two flags, one on the main royal, the otheratthe mizen peak, and each one larger than her mainsheet. About seven yards of six-penny red ribbon fluttered in the wind, the one end being tied to some elevated part of the rigging. The reception of the renowned and heroic crew took place, as far as we could discern, at Rabineau’s baths: no cold water was thrown upon it, and it was a spunky affair for the size of it. The proces- sion having, alter a temporary dispersion, re-formed, being reinforced by one or two dozen of the illus- trious strangers, moved off up Broadway, its nume- tical force being.just one hundred and eighteen, young and old, big and little, not including the band,—each of whom blew so hard, that little was left of their attenuated forms to reckon upon. We have the satisfaction of stating, that there was a very strong and very blue banner carried before them, composed not of first-rate No. 1 silk, nor of satin, either, but of stout, serviceable, No. 5 tailors’ canvass: it cut a smurt figure, and blended har- moniously with the general features of the assem- bly. When we were tired admiring this unmatched turn-out, and a little too tired to follow them farther, we left them opposite the American Mu- seum, asa fitting place for consigning all that is tare, curious, novel, and grotesque. The following is a list of the officers of the “Na- tive American :— Capt. Peter Albright ; Lieut. Thomas Brewster ; Pilot, Jobn Friend; Sailing Master and Gunner, M. Wise ; Steward, Geo Krider ; Sail Maker, C Fartner ; Carpen ter, ‘"homas Hammitt ; Surgeon, Henry McCully, M. D. ; Purser, John Pister. Tue Lazarus or THE New Yorx Press.— Amonget the other charitable deeds which we have been guilty of and unostentatiously performing every day for the last ten years, is our practice of casting crumbs to the poor devils amongst our con- temporaries who will not dig, and to beg are not ashamed. We have fed the Express in this way for years, and yet, unlike his brethren of Spain and Ireland, Lazarus does not get fat, probably because he curses instead of blesses the hand that gives employment to his jaws—the only thing powerful or industrious about him. That print regularly steals from our columns, and publishes what it filches in its evening pape’, from which the country papers copy, and of course give credit to the Fzpress. We can afford to be generous, and indeed it is our nature to be so—we can’t help it. Take this too, Lazarus—and say with Florizel— “Tam bound to you, There is some sap in this !” Wurrewasnine THe Court or Sgsstons.—We hear that the interior of the Court of Sessions is to be remodeled and whitewashed. It needs white- washing—that’s certain. But we rather think the operation is beyond the reach of the brushes ordi- narily used by mortals. Outraged Justice may indeed well exclaim, ‘‘ Out damned spot!” but while those walls, blackened with the corruption of years, remain, the very stones must call out againet the iniquities of which they have been the witnesses. Removat or THe Post Orrice.—The opposition to the removal of the Post Office originates with a bank in Wall street, that owns the property on which the buildings are at present lecated. The meeting in the Park this afternoon will likely be funny. “To THe Brnevorent.”—The advertisement with this heading which appeared in our columns the other day, and intended to draw attention of charitable ladies to a deserving object of benevo- lence, was inserted by one of the most respectable dental surgeons inthis city—Dr. A. C. Cas le—from the most praiseworthy motives. A former para graph in reference to it was written in ignorance of its respectable source, and in consequence of the representations of individuals who had most unne- cessarily taken offence at it, because they happen- ed to reside in the same dwelling with the sufferer. Tue Hor Weatner.—The “natives” and the root-beer fountains are ina terrible state of effer- vescence. Anitinerating establishes; of * health and temperance,” kept by a meritorious reformed inebriate, near the Park, exploded yesterday from the heat, and a party of the ‘‘natives” issued the prospectus of a new paper to be called “ Young America;” the little organ at present in existence being considered too much of an old, asthmatic, garrulons concern, by the young hot-bleoded re. formers. The evenings are getting cool, however, and the wearied loaters on the Battery lift up their heads and rejoice, as the fresh breezes from our lovely bay sweep over that charming promenade. Camp Mertines.—The season for camp meetings has set in. The young men and the maidens are frolicking in the pleasant groves of this glorious land, and the Father Millers are thrusting in their sickles into the harvest of folly, fanaticism and coppers. Tue Van Renssetagr Dirrtcunties —All is at present quiet in this tempestuous teapot. ‘The dif- ferent parti re awaiting the action of the Gover- aor. It is probable that the difficulty will be ar- ranged on just and amicable terme. Express From Boston.—The train from Boston over Long Island, arrived at an early hour last evening, and we are indebted to Adams & Co, for Boston papers of yesterday morning. Britisu Puorgctive Emorant Socrety.—The above is the title of an association which has lately been formed, having for its object to afford advice, aid and protection to emigrants coming to this country to bettertheir condition. The British Con- sul and the Presidents of the St. George’s, St. An- Andrew’s and St. David’s Society, are among its officers, and under such promising auspices, it can- not fail to be successful. Such a Society has long been a desideratum in this city, and we have more than once called atten- tion to this matter. There is not a more valuable class of emigrants in existence than those tor whose special benefitjthis laudable step has been taken--the sturdy, steady, and persevering operators of Eng- land, Scotland and Wales. When the numerous obstacles which emigrants have to encounter on an arrival in a strange country are borne in mind, the perplexities of a transition from their homes, their friends, their custemary pursuits, their fa- miliar associations, to a situation in life in which the people, the scenes, the manners, and modes of life are new, it isnot difficult to appreciate the value of a friendly intercession ot such a Society as this. The class of persons which, in this case, are sought to be benefited, although intelligent and efficient in their peculiar callings,are far from being remarka- ble for versatility of talent, mental resource, or that smartness, which is, perhaps, the most valuable qual- ity for an up-hill contention with theworld,or at least that part of it with which they have to do. Simple, honest and confiding, they are too freqnently expos- ed to the designs of tricksters,;who too often take advantage of them to serve their own ends. The varied resources too of this country, its extent and peculiarities are often little known to emigrants,yet it is of high importance that he should know them. The St. Patrick Benevolent Society since its or- ganization, hasdone incalculable good in this way; and the success of ite operations affords the strong- est ground for encouragement to those who are so meritoriously engaged in the formation of this new confederation. We have only to add that it has our best wishes, and we are sure the approbation of all who desire the happiness and properity of the industrial classes. Tue Mexican Sreamers.—Since the arrival of the two Mexican war steamers at our port, for re- pairs, and the consequent contrast between the athletic proportions of American seamen, and the diminutive appearance of the half breed and half Spanish Mexican sailors, the commanders ef these vessels have very wisely, or perhaps unwisely, pro- ceeded to ship an almost entire American crew. They contemplate the selection of about one hun’ dred American and British seamen, for each ves- sel, and are offering the highest rate of wages for their crew. A day or two since an old American Jack tar, who had been solicited to ship on board one of these steamers, called{the ‘‘ Guaduloupe,” quietly sauntered through her main deck, and meeting with one of the petty oflicers,the following colloquy ensued. “Well, Jack, do you want to ship?” “No, [’mnot very particular aboutit. Iwouldn’t mind it—with good rations, good pay, and good ‘usage ” “Oh, you'll get all that. We had a pretty hard time out, rations rather short and nothing to brag of, but we’ll lay in a stock here that’ll supply us.” “Well, that’s pretty fair talk, and I don’t know but ’ll ship, provided you’ll allow me one condi- tion.” “Oh, yea, we will, what’s that ?” “Why, its nothin’ more or less than this ere— give me the runnin wages, good rations, rum ad tobacco, and one thing more, and then I’lls\ the roll.” “ Well, what’s the one thing more ?” “ That’s this, my old boy—should an American ship ever bring your bloody smoke-jack into action, allow me the privilege to haw] down your moun- sieur lookin ensign, fordamn my eyes, if I’d ever fire a shot against the flag of my country.” The old salt gave his tobacco quid a twirl through his mouth, slapped it down on the deck, and waddled ashore witheut waiting for the reply of the petty officer. Should thisspirit actuate the Yankee crew, and the Texan government have discernment and enterprize sufficient to fit out a few steamers or merchantmen, prepared with every implement and a largeJcomplement of men to board these vessels, there may be some fun with but little bloodshed before they surrender to the enemy. From present appearances, it will be about four weeks before these vessels are ready to depart for the Gulf of Mexico, and from that time to their arrival at one of the Mexican ports, we may look for some- thing like a privateer’s morning talk or an evening visit. Gurick Guarps.—PresentaTION oF A Parr or Conors ny Mayor Harper.—Yesterday this com- pany, which had been on a visit, were presented with a pair of guide colors (the Ameri- can flag,) by Mayor Harper, on behalf ot a num- ber of young ladies. Promptly at two o’clock, the company was on the ground, in front of the City Hall, headed by Dodsworth’s Cornet Band, and accompanied by a small braes field piece belonging to the company. His honor, in presenting the colors, made a few observations, but owing to the great vigilance and attention of his attendants, and the guard keeping the ground, we were not allowed to approach near enough to hear what was said. The colors were received by Morris Franklin, Esq. in behalf of the company, who on receiving them, addressed his honor on behalf of the Gulick Guards. After which, they proceeded by steamboat Ameri- can Eagle to New Rochelle, for an encampment of five days. ‘this company is composed of fire- men, in fire dress, appeared in excellent order, and had an impesing appearance. They go on encampments every year, and have an armory of their own and equipments for fifty men, all of which is the property ef the company. They have beea organized about ten years. Mons. pz Korposay.—Our accounts from Sara- toga inform us, that this now notable artiste is supported in the warmest manner by the whole élite of that place. He numbers among his pupils Ex-Presidents, commodores, ambassadors, sol- diera, statesmen, and citizens of every profession. Indeed, it is rumored that one or twodistinguished men in holy orders have become so enamored ot the Polka, as to take lessons in that spiritualle dance. His Flora Ball was thronged to an unpre- cedented extent; and many who were on the eve of their departure, have delayed that event in order to be present at his Fortuna Ball to-day. Mons. Bley, the violinist, is earning for himself additional fame on account of the able way in which he leads the orchestra, and the admirable manner of hie performance of the favorite Polka, composed by Madame Korponay, and dedicated to the Austrian Ambassador, and published in this city. This piece is very frequently called for, and Mons. Bley does st full justice. Mons. de Korponay next goes to Newport, ha- ving made an engagement to that effect. Patmo’s Opera Hovse.— night displayed a galaxy of fashion and beauty, to witness the truly amusing entertainments provided by the Ethiopian Serenaders. They have actually enraptured our citizens, who crowded, in untold numbers, to wit ness a recreation that can be indulged in, even by the most fastidior Orro Corracs, Hovoxen.—The free exhibition of the Ellsler Brothers at this delightful spot is most attractive, Crowds are visiting them on each day ot their performance ; and it is not surprising, for their feats are truly wonderful, and must be wit. nessed to be fully credited. Captain L. Schwartz certainly deserves every credit for his exertion in providing such chaste and elegant amusement for his visitors, and it is to be hoped will be supported accordingly. Tue Crors in Froripa.—The St. Augustine News learns that very good crops of corn will be gat od in Kost Florida, notwithstanding the extensi' drought which has prevailed. The’cotton crops are also in ® very fourishing,condition at this time Election Return: INDIANA ELECTIO! 1844 1840. Counties. Whig, Dem. Whig. Dem.

The Democratic Governor was elected last August by a majority of 2,013 votes, and Gen Harrison carried the State by a majority of 13,699. The Whigs have gained adozen members of the Legislature thus far, and if they do not lose in the counties to hear from, their chances for that body are the best. If they get the Legislature they secure the election of an U. 8. Senator. Avapama Exxcrion. 1844. i 1340, Whig. Dem. Whig. Dem.

It is supposed that the State will give about 10,000 majority to the Whigs. Mormon Arratrs.—It appears that troubles among the Mormons and others are still antici- pated, We find the following addiess in the St. uis papers relative thereto. Te the People of Warsaw, in Hancock County: Tam continually into.med of your preparations und threats to renew the war, and exterminate the Mormons. One would suppose that you ought to rest satisfied with what you ‘already done. The Mormon leaders, if they ever resisted the law, have submitted to its authori- ty. They have surrendered the public arms, and appear- ed to b. ready to do any thing required, to make atone- ment for whatever wrong may have been done. Since the assassination of their own principal leaders, under circumstances well calculated to inflame their Boom cepeo and drivejthem to excesses for the purpose of revenge, they have been ately peaceful and submissive ; an have patiently awaited the slow operation of the laws to redress the wrongs of which they complained. There has been no retaliation; no revenge; and tor any thing I can oscertain, there will be none. Those of your peo- ple, who are charged with being the most hostile to them, have lived, af they knew it, in perfect security from il: legal violence. I am anxious for a pacification of your difficulties. You cannot drive out, or exterminate the Mormons. Such an effort would be madness, and would not be permitted by the peorle of the State. You can- not be sustained in it either by force or law. You are blinding yourselves to your weakness, and keeping up an agitation which must tail of the purpose intended, and recoil with terrible energy upon your own heads. | ex- hort you to reconsider ‘haeg infatuated resolutions.— Try your Mormon neighbors again, and if you cunnot dwell together in amity, you may at least refrain from injuring each other. From the moderation of the Mor- mons, under what they conceive to be the deepest inju- ry, you might well hope that if they ever entertained designs inconsistent with your liberty and happiness, that these designs have been abandoned. They ere also interested in preserving the peace. It is not natural to suppose that they, any more than yourselves, wiah to live in continual slarm. ‘Chey hope for quiet, and will be peaceful and submissive in order tu enjoy it. But you are continually driving them to desperation by an insane course of threatening and hostility, and depriving your- selves of peace by the same means used to disquiet them. It [have said anything severe in this address, I pray you, attribute it to my deep conviction that your course is im- proper and unwarranteble. Such is the opinion of the pa at large in the state, and all over the country. ‘rom being right in the first instance, you have put your- selves in the wrong, and there are none who sustain you. As men of sense you are bound to see, if you wiil open your eyes, that you cannot effect aot purposes. Never- theless you are still training and drilling, and keeping to- gether, ‘and threatening a renewal of the war. I have said to you often that you cannot succeed ; by this time you ought to see it ourselves. ‘What can your small lorce do against two thousand armed men, entrenched in a city, and defending themselves, their wives and their children? Besides, it you are the aggressors, I am deter- mined that all the power of the state shall be used to pre- vent your success. I can never agree that a set of infatu- ated and infuriated me: barbarously attack a peace- ful people, who have submitted to all the demands of the law ; and when they had full power to do so, refrained from inflicting vengeance on their enemies. You may count on my most determined opposition—upon the op- position of the law, and upon that of every peaceful law abiding citizen of the country. This is not spoken in anger. God knows, { would do you no injury unless compelled to do so to sustain the laws. But mob violence must be put down, It is threatening the whole country with anarchy and ruin. It is menacing our fair furm of rovernment, and destroying the confidence of the patriot in the institutions ot his country. I have been informed that the Mormons about Lima and Macedonia, have been warned to leave the settlements. They have a right to remain and enjoy their property. As long as they are od citizens, they shall not be molested ; and the sooner those misguided persons withdraw their warning and re- trace their steps, the better it will be for them. July 26, 1844, THOMAS FORD. Mrs. Emma Smith, the widow of the late Proph- et, came down as far as Quincy on board the stea- mer Osprey 5 on the last trip of the lone the widow of Hiram Smith also visited Quincy.

Navication or THe Demoinzs.—The St. Lonis New Era gives us the following account :—The little steamboat Reveille arrived last evening from the Demoines river. She has twice ascended the river since she left here—about four weeks since. On her last trip she succeeded in reaching Fort Raccoon, the highest point on the river which had been visited previous! y by steamboats, The Reveille went about six miles above the Fort. which is that much further than any boat has aver gone betore. On her second trip she only went to Meek’s Mills, about fifty miles above the mouth of the river, and here she came very near meeting with a xe- rious accident in going through the locks and around the dam, which extends across the river, She had great diffi- culty in opening the locks, and when through the lvst one she encountered the strong current running over the dam. In attempting to proceed and stem it, what across the stream, which carried her, in 6) exertions, over the dam into the stream below. was not great, at ‘the dam had been broken by recent floods, and fortunately she went safely over the breach, with nodamage except to her aft guards, which struck some of the timbers of the dam in the descent landing safely below the dam, her commander came to the conclusion not to try it again; and, therefore, fer the trip, made Meek’s Mill the head of steamboat navigation on the Demoines. Gen.

Dear Sin:— ‘ I have always thought that it would be a great convenience for the public, if omnibusses were running on Sunday, say, even for an hour or two in the mornings and afternoons; as the poor man who lives farfrom his place of worship, and can- not aftord to drive his carriage, must leave all his younger branches of family at home, which he is ‘compelled to do in bad weather. Again, if he re- sides far from the Battery, he must be denied that walk on the only day which he has free trom toil. Now, is the rich man only to enjoy those privileges in this free country of ours? which in those much talked of oppressed Enropean lands, are within the reach of the poor as well as the rich. They used to run on Sunday, Does the law now forbid it, or can religion object to it. Ido not see on what ground it would. Many Citizens.

The breach was about eighty feet wide, and the water 20 feet in depth, rushing with velocity through it. The neighborhood had the appearance ofa vast lake. The main effort making, we understand, was to control the course of the overflow, so as to carry it through the swamps to lake Muuripas, and prevent, as far as possible, the inundation of the cultivated and inhabited lands.— N.
