The profli- gacy of Mr. Clay—the cowardice of Mr. Polk—the hypocrisy of Mr. Frelinghuysen—the nothingness of Mr. Dallas—these, it would appear from all that can be learned from orator, editor and minstrel, are the great questions involved in a contest which now rages at every cross-road, and in every bar- room within the far extended boundaries of the United States. But the thoughtful student of the times, who looks behind and beyond all this dust and turmoil of the hour, can trace the progress of a conflict which involves the fate of the Republic and the fortunes of mankind. And it is because the great mass of men cannot, or will! not, look beyond the passing moment—because, ever with the common herd, a thousand petty circumstances of local, per- sonal, and fleeting interest, control and direct their thoughts and conduct—because the great popular mind has not yet been thoroughly awakened to a sense of the great priaciples which have been slow- ly developing in the past time, and yet lie compa ratively hidden from the common eye—that poli- tical conflicts in this land exhibit the character of the mere struggles of one’set of office seekers with another, presenting apparently no great essential points of difference. It is at such periods, when the public mind is unusually excited by political agitation—that an enlightened and independent public press, may be made to exercise an almost omnipotent influence for good in the announcement and vindication of the great principles connected with the progress and hap- piness of society. And it is only independent journalism which can do this. The organs of the factions of the day, dare not venture beyend their sphere. Detraction—slander—scurrility—personal abuse—this is their work, and hence their columns teem with the vile slang of bar-room politics; and if perchance they do pretend to enter an argument about principles, to what does it amount? A paltry disputation about Mr. Polk’s opinion on the tariff ten years ago, or the effect of Mr. Clay’s election in the price of the red flannel patronized by patriotic firemen. Let us see if we cannot discover in the political contest, thus treated, by the party journals, any themes of more generaland abiding interest, than the consistency of a respectable western lawyer, or the prospect of a rise or fall i the price of sheeting. * The whele history of society is the history of a struggle between two great antagonistic principles. The patriarch and the bondsman—the master and the helot—the patrician and the plebeian—the ba- ron and the serf—the few and the many—the op- pressor and the oppressed—from age to age the conflict between the strong and the weak, has been carried on, exhibiting a thousand phases, diversi- fied by a thousand circumstances, and marked by infinite variety of result. But right has been gradually triumphing over might. The Reforma- tion—the English Revolution in 1688—the French Revolution—most recent and mightiest of all, the revolution which established the independence of the United States, have been events which have changed the whole destinies of mankind. In- creaisng knowledge—the progress of the arts {and sciences—steam navigation—a free press—these have introduced a new era in the history of our race, and a spirit has been awakened which iscar- rying civil and religious liberty to the ends of the earth, But the conflict is not ended. The long warfare between liberty and despotism—between freedom and oppression—between the strong and the weak— still goes on. In the old world we see it in the shaking of thrones and principalities, which sti)! weigh the masses to thelearth. In Great Britain, we see it in the fierce struggles of a landed aristo- cracy andthe millions who cry aloud for bread. In this land, too, the same battle is waged, and waged as fiercely as in the land beyond the sea, where the people are assailing battlements of oppression which have withstood the shock of ages. But here the conflict is modified by the peculiarities of locality and circumstance, which give to it an aspect and an interest, to which we cannot find a parallel. Here it is not a struggle between an order of privileged classes, and another order forced to con- tribute to its support. Here the effort is to create, not to;sustain a privileged order. On the one hand is the principle of consolidated power—a vast overshadowing monied oligarchy—an aristocracy of fictitious wealth—monopoly—caste—artificial distinction; on the other, is the principle ef diffu. sion and equalization of power—levelling—un- shackled enterprize—absence of artificial distinc- tion. These are the antagonistic principlesat work. But do we say that the two prominent jactions of Whig gain....... 657 in four years. This gain has been caused by the strength of the whig party having been. thrown entirely for legisla- ture and by the split in the democratic ranks, pro- ducing two tickets from that party. Tue Great Wie Convention or THE RIVER Countigs.—The whigs throughout the State are putting forth tremendous efforts to make the Con vention at Albany, on the 27th of this month,a grea; affair. It will undoubtedly be the largest political gathering which we have yet seen in this region of the country—a sort of set-off to the mighty mass convention of the democrats at Nashville. Here is the callk— Mass Convention or tHe Riven Countizs, 1844.—A Mass Conventionjof the River Counties to be heli at Al- bany, on Tuesday the 27th day of August. To attend this meeting, we cordially invite the citizens of the River Counties Dera d and of the neigboring Statea. We in vite to come, all the friends of Henry Clay ahd Theodo: Frelinghuysen, all the friends of a sound, stable, adequat protective tariff, which will afford exclusive of the Lan Fund, a sufficient revenue for an economicel administra- tion of the General Government, at the same time protect- ing American manufactures, American agriculture and American labor, instead of encouraging British manufac- tures and British labor, and depressing American agricul- ture ; which will efford home markets for wheat, corn, pork and potatoes, and secure fair wages for labor ; which will keep the weaver at his cid the smith at his forge, the tailor on his shop board, the shoemaker at his awl, an all the handicrafts in motion ; which will equalize the burthens of government between the poor and the rich— in short, all who, with Henry Clay, will sustain the whij tariff of 1842, against the declared intention of James Polk and his locofoco supporters to repeal it, Allin favor of the distribution of the avils of the sales of the public lands to the of the States, who have a right to them.

As far as possible, arrangements will be made for the ac- commodation of the Patriotic Whig Ladies, who, as in 1776, desire to cheer on their husbands and brothers and triends in a contest for the Protection of American Fire- sides, and the Happiness of American Homes. ae Weare happy to announce that Daniel Webster will, in accordance with an express promise given by him to bejwith us cn this glorious occasion, address the Con- vention ; as well as other distinguished individuals. It would seem that the Whigs are mustering all their forces for the battle in this State. And there is a good deal of sound judgment in this. The re- turns from the South and West would appear to in- dicate that the Whig prospects are not so brilliant as they were anticipated to turn out. In all the States heard from the Democratic gain is very con- siderable, and we are very clearly forewarned that the contest will be very close indeed. Pennsylva- nia, it is affirmed, not, we believe, without some foundation, will be carried by the Democrats. In New York then, the gieat struggle will take place. It will be the great battle ground of the conflict. In these circumstances every movement in the “Empire State” becomes invested with peculiar in- terest. The whigs have been remarkably busy in this State. From the very commencement of the,cam- paign they have exhibited an energy, aperseverance, a diligence, and a degree of tact in the work of or- ganization and canvassing from New Yerk to Buf- falo, which have done them great credit, and must do them great service too. Every nook and cor- ner of the State has been explored by their advo- cates in the shape of itinerant orators, wandering minstrels, and omnipresent tracts. Where Greeley and the ‘Kentucky Warbler” couldn’t penetrate, “Junius” has thrust himself, and in obscure farm- houses, where even that genius has not scattered his tropes and figures, the Clay pocket-handker- chief has fanned the cheek of beauty, aud wiped the nose of age. The whigs have certainly been busy—very busy—in the Empire State. What have the democrats been about? Blub- bering—snarling—squabbling. Mr. Van Buren has been learning the Polka—Sitas Wright has been busy at the grammar of politeness, declining “Governor,” substantive noun, neuter gender, “from morn till nooa, and noon till dewy eve”— Mr. Butler has been weeping in his closet—the Evening Post has been meditating amputation of itsown nose—and the “Emyire Club” been pull- ing Booby Brooks’s. Still, after all, these demo- crats have queer ways of doing business, sometimes very like a kitten playing with its tail, but not un- mindful of the victim just venturing ahead on an exploring expedition. So there’s no knowing what they may do at the polls—is there ? But the Convention of the river counties, at the goodly Dutelf town of Albany, will indeed be a great affair. It will be a vast and mighty gather- ing of the tribes, and all the great leaders will be there—Daniel and all the Prophets. * Towa Execrion. Our growing sister has her vote about these times.

They were taken to the Watchhouse, ‘and @ portion of them cautioned and reprimanded and dis- Spirged: ‘The remainder were placed in “ Mogdalen fall,” at the southeast end of the * Tombs,” where they were kept until Pender morning.

In cases of Fever and Ague the Brandreth Pills are a never-failing cure; the first dose should be large, ‘sufficient to have a brisk effect; after- wards two Pills night and morning, and drink cold peany- royal tea, acup full, say two or three times aday.

No. Look- ing far beyond the squabbles of contending factions, and leaving altogether out of sight the petty con- fl icts about men and place, what we desire to bring to view is the true character and complexion of the issues really involved in the political contest which at present agitates the country. There has grown up of late years a new power in the world, which threatens to exercise a sway as oppressive and despotic as that of the crowned tyrants of the centuries ot misrule—that is, what is called “monied power.” Already we see how this power operates in the councils of great nations.
