eT or NEW YORK* HERALD. New York, Tuesday, August 27, 1844. 23 ——————————————— The Great Maas Convention at Albany ‘This Day. Our “ unequalled corps” left last night for Albany forthe purpose of attending the great Mass Con- vention of the Whigs at Albany this day. We shall therefore be prepared to issue at the earliest possible moment, a full report of Mr. Webster’s Steat speech, and all the other proceedings on this important occasion. ‘Trial by Jury. One of the reproaches frequently cast upon the character of the United States by foreign unfriend- ly journalists, is, that criminal justice is not admin- istered with fairness and purity, and that in many instances trial by jury, is with us,a perfect mock- ery. There is unfortunately too much foundation in facts for this grave accusation, and it were well af the attention of the American community were more generally and more frequently directed to this deeply important matter. No one can deny that American juries do often appear to be either altogether regardless of their oaths, or sadly ignorant of the nature ef the solemn duties which they are called on, under that sacred obligation, to discharge. Many cases illustrative of the truth of this statement, must be fresh in the recollection of our readers, in all sections of the Union, and the misfortune is, that it is in cases of the most serious character that this want of fidelity and decision on the part of juries has been most apparent. It has been chiefly in cases of murder and manslaughter, that the unwillingness of jurors to convict, has been manifested. In very many cases, even when the guilt of the person under trial has been established and made clear as noon-day, several of the jurors have refused to agree to the verdict, which by their oaths they were bound to render, on the ground that they had conscientious scruples against condemning any one to death for the crime of murder. The effect of this has been injurious in the extreme. A character ot indecision and weakness has been given to our criminal tri- bunals—a want of confidence in the efficacy of the admunistration of criminal justice, been produced— facilities afforded for the escape of the guilty—and the feelings of the wretched criminals themselves, often been unnecessarily and cruelly lacerated by protracted confinement, under circumstances of great anxiety, torturing doubt, and alternate hoping and despair. Now, every one who reflects for a moment on the matter must feel convinced that this state of things should not be permitted to continue, if by any possibility it can be prevented. As it is, the ends of justice are repeatedly frustrated, and the great and invaluable institution of trial by jury de- generates into an wunmeaning farce. We admit, with regret, that it is difficult, very difficult to check the evil of which we complain, and which is every year increasing. It would certainly ap- pear that the growing enlightenment of the age op: poses itself to capital punishment, But that isa subject on which we do not at present enter. We allude to it just now in this manner, for the purpose of reminding all who may think differently that the scruples of those jurors who ‘hesitate to pronounce a verdict which consigns a fellow-being to death, are at{all events entitled to respect. But we are far from thinking that they are justifiable. A juror who] properly{ understands his oath, and feels himself solemnly bound to discharge to the very letter the duties imposed by it, 1s left without ex- cuse if he shrink from the responsibilities he has voluntarily assumed. We trust that the mistaken view of duty and conscientious feelings which hasgo eften led to the escape of the guilty, and still more to be deplored, has weakened the influence of our criminal tribu- nals, as a terror to the evil-doers, will not be al- lowed to operate so extensively as heretofore. We do think that many jurors who have hitherto acted in this manner will, after due deliberation, adopt a different course in future. As good citizens and as honorable men, they are bound either to do their duty or refrain from assuming responsibilities which they have pre-determined not to discharge with fidelity. If only in afew instances, this arti- cle may operate as it is intended, we shall have reason to rejoice, and we conclude by expressing the hope, that all who concur with us in the ne- cessity and duty of preserving the solemn and vi- tally important institution of trial by jury, from degeneratii.g into a valueless and inefficient cere- monial, will in their respective spheres, en- deavor to extend and enforce the views which we have thus briefly presented. @iPuosorner Greetry at Home.—Mr. Philoso- pher Greeley has taken our affectionate advice, and announces that he will not attend any more mass meetings, but stay quietly at home. Horace is right for once. There is very little to be made by this itinerant stumping over the country. Deatu or Com. Dattas.—We learn that intel- ligence has been received in this city, of the death of Com. Alexander J. Dallas, at Callao. It is said that he died of paralysis, an attack of which, we before heard, he received. Com. Dallas was in command of the Pacific Squadron at the time of his death. He was an old officer, having entered the service in 1805, and honorably fought his way through the last war. ‘Thus are our old and well tried naval officers passing hence. Exratwm.—In yesterday's leader the compositor made us say the very reverse of what we intended in reference to the chances of the whigs, as they appear at present 10 this State. We wrote that “they had the slightest perceptible shade of pre- ponderance,” as was clear enough from the context. Late rrom Lima.—Advices from Lima to the Sth of June, state that General Vivanco had re- treated to Arequipa, jpursued by General Castilla, It was thought that Vivanco would embark for the north, and not give battle—which would prolong the war several months. Business was dull. Visrrors.—Captain Huger and 8. Van Vliet, of the U. S. A., are staying at the American Hotel. The Hon. .W. C. Preston is intown and stop- ping at the Mansion House. Yettow Frver in Moiue.— We have seen let- ters dated Mobile, 19th inst., which state that there were two cases of yellow fever on that day. On the 17th there was one case. Granp Fancy Dress Batt at Newrort.—On Thursday next there is to be a grand display of all the fair visitors at this place. A fancy dress sub- scription ball is about to be held for the benefit of Mons. Korponay by the fashionables now sojourn- ing there,.when the Polka, Mazourka, and new quadrilies will be danced in appropriate costumes. It is confidently expected that this ball will be the reat attraction of the closing season. Parties will be admitted without costumes, though it 1s generally expected that most of the company will appear in such. # Fancy Farr at Tomrxinsvinie, Staten Istann. —The ladies of St. Paul’s Church, Tompkinaville, in the hope of securing the means to relieve the parish from a debt which has for a long time ma- terially interfered with its prosperity, intend hold- ing a fair to-morrow, to commence at 11 o’elock, A. M., and continue two days. To accommodate visitors from the city an extra boat will leave Tompkinsville at half past nine in the evening of each day. It is hoped that these laudable endea- yors will be crowned with success, and that the fair dealers will be well patronized by the élite from this city. onetime Fisuiva Banxs.—The steamer Thomas Salmond goes to the Fishing Banks to-day. Allin want of sport and health had better, therefore, see her ad- yertiaement in another column. Tux Stump Oxatoay ov tux Day.—The columas of this journal have recently been devoted to the task of exhibiting the licentiousness and immorali- ty of the party press of the country, by collecting together beautiful morceaus from the journals of both parties, thereby presenting to our readers spe- cimens of the morality and decency of politicians. How far we have succeeded in doing justice to the task which we have undertaken, the intelligent and” pure minded of all parties will judge. There is another subject nearly allied to this, which also deserves notice atourhands. We refer to the speeches of the political orators of the day. We shall proceed from time to time, as leisure may permit, in our labors of love, to furnish for the struction and amusement of the public, quotations and extracts from these speeches; and, by way of contrast to the taste, style, philosophy, temper and ability generally observed in this department of the literature which is now flooding the land, we com- mence to-day with the exquisite, poetical and statesman-like speech of the Hon. Rufus Choate, of Massachusetts, on the question of the annexa- tion of Texas to the United States, recently deli- vered before the Whig Young Men’s Clay Club of Boston. It is one of the richest specimens of stump oratory—that is, nineteenth century, poetical, ele- gant, graceful and euphonious stump oratory—ex- tant. The rounding of the periods—the agreeable swell of thesentences—and the clear, limpid, pure and flowing style, are all characteristic and unique. We shall give too, a few specimens of the style and character of Mr. Choate’s speech, the immortality of our columns transmitting them to the centuries to come, like flies preserved in amber. After enumerating the various questions involved in the appreaching Presidential contest, the speak- er remarks, that this election also involves “the further, more fundamental, and more startling question, what shall the nation be; who shall the nation be; where shall the nation be; who, whut, and where is, and ‘is to be, our country itself? It is a question, not what the policy of the nation shall be, but what, who, where shall the nation be.” There, now! Is not thatthe me plus ultra of modern stump oratory? What a world of mean- ing in these brief, emphatic, nervous sentences ! In treating of the. effect of annexation, Mr. Choate said that, “even if the Union should survive the annexation, and the discussions of annexation, it will be a new, a chang- ed, another Union—not this. It will be changed, not by time, which changes all things—man, monuments, States, the great globe itself ; not by time, but by power; not by imper- ceptible degrees, but in a day; not by a successive growth, unfolded and urged forward by an organic law, an implanted force, a noiseless and invisible nutrition from beneath and from without, of which every region, every State, takesthe riek; but by the direct action of government, arbitrary, violent and unjust, of which no part has ever agreed to take the risk.” In speaking of other evils that would follow this measure, Mr. Choate observes, “Bur the evil of annexation is as immediate as irretriev- able, and as eternal as it is enormous! Time, terms of Presidential office, ages, instead of heal- ing, will but display, will but exasperate, the im- medicable wound. He who, some space hereaf- ter—how long, how brief that space—you may not all taste of death until you know he who, another Thucydides, another Sismondi, shall observe and shall paint a union dissolved ; the silver cord loos- ened, the golden bow! broken at the fountain; he who shall observe and who shall paint the nation’s flag folded mournfully, and laid aside in the silent chamber where the memorials of renown and grace, now dead, are gathered together; who shall record the ferocious factions, the profligate ambi- tion, the hot rivalry, the wars of hate, truces of treachery—which shall furnish the matter of the history of alienated States, till one after another burns out and falls from its place on high—he shall entitle this stained and mournful chapter, the con- sequences of annexation.” Of the consequences of annexation to different parts of the Union, he continued: ‘First, chief, most comprehensive, and most irretrievable of its evils, will be its disastrous aspect on the durability of the Union”—and again, “Will it not be regarded as affrontive to the pride, as a usurpation on the constitutional rights, as me- nacing to the pockets, of portions of the people of America, as well asan outrage on the sentiment of liberty and the spirit of the age? How can it be defended on the principles of our political asaocia- tion? The generation of our fathers, who framed the Union, saw as well as we do, the great natural regional,division of the country. They foresaw, as wellas we now see,that one of these regions might come to prefer one system of industrial govern- mental policy; and another to prefer another.— They foresaw, too, that in the progress of time, the operation of natural causes might ehange, and change often, all those relations which marked the era of 1789. The young cotton plant of the South, scarcely known to art or commerce then, might place or might keep the fair and fertile region that alone produced it, for ages, at the head of the con- federacy. The exhaustless soil and temperate cli- mate of the West, might attract and seat the cen- tre of power there—on the impurpled prairie—by the shores of inland oceans. Labor und liberty, and culture might sometimes win it back to the rock of Plymouth, the battle-fields of Bunkerhill and Bennington, to the summits of our granite mountains, to the side of our bridal sea.” Of its effects on New England, he remarked,—“ Is this a day for New England to be inactive, or to be dis- tracted? Do you need to be told, what I love not to dwell or touch upon, that if the designs of some of those who would annex Texas could be accom- plished ; if they could succeed in turning Texas to the account which they dreai of ; if, by that aid, they could subvert your industrial policy ; could retransfer your workshops to Europe; could pre- vent the industry of America from doing the work of America; could suspend these diversified em- ployments, which develope, discipline, occupy and reward the universal faculties of this community ; which give to every taste and talent the task best suited to it; which yive occupation tothe strong and weak ; the bright and the dull; to both sexes and to all ages, and at all times—in winter and swmmer ; in wet weather and in dry weather; by day-light and lamp-light, to all and each—‘a fair day’s wages for a fair day’s work’—if they could strike down the giant arm of labor helpless to his side—ig the politics which you are this day im the field to resist, could triumph, do you not know that even if the Union were preserved, New England would be cast into provincial, into parochial insignifi, cance; aye, that this New England, the New Eng- land that we love—the New England of our fathers and of history—that the places which once knew this New England would kaow her no more! Having a form to live, she would be dead. Having a form of constitutional life, the strong, soaring, and beautiful spirit would have departed. If the Union were preserved; if the great constellation still held on its journey in the sky, these once ju- bilant stars of the morning would be silent and dim.” But we must pause. We do not wish to surfeit our readers. But oh! how refreshing to the eye of the scholar and statesman to meet with an essay like this on the practical philosphy of government. Here is no cant, no affectation of style, no useless unmeaning figures ot speech; but all is clear and comprehensive. We inight, with propriety, com- mend it to professors of celleges to be placed in the hands of students as a model of composition. This speech will do much towards settling this @reat national vexed question of annexation, for surely such a diarrhoea of words is not to take place for nothing. Humsva Pronarty.—The following was handed to us yesterday as having been found in a bottle picked up in Prince’s Bay. We give it for what it is worth :— .*The brig Shark, nine days out from Havana, dismasted, without provisions or water, with fever on board, bound to New York, Capt, 4 July 12, 1844,” Oe ane Saratoga Correspondence—No. 9. U.S. Horst, Sanatooa, 24th August, 1844 Charlatanism: The Americans resemble in their general char actera the remainder ot the human family. Other veople there are, of the same language, blood and lineage, of the same feligion, Iaws and habitudes. They are given by their Maker the same “ hands, organs,dimensions, pas- sions—fed with the same food, hunt with the same Weapons, subject to the same diseases, heated by the same means; warmed and cooled by the same winter and summer. If you prick them, do they not bleed? li you tickle them, do they not laugh? It you poison them, do they not die? And at you wrong them, do they not revenge?” In all these points and many others they agree, but they differ in this, that of all the dwellers on the vast conyexi- ty of this terraqueous globe they, indisputably a shrewd race, are the most extensively humbugged and most thoreughly quackridden people. Quack- ery overspreads the Jand like a pestilence City, town and village are rife with it. The blue waters of lake and river bear it on their bosom, and the iron road is conscious of ita weight. The Charla- tan is abroad! In the Senate, he outbawls the pa- triot and the statesman! He invades the profes- sional chair and parches up the sources of public instraction! He mounts the pulpit and pollutes the fountains of Divine Truth, turning their pure waters into the strong wine of Fanaticism! This multiform Demon is omnipresent. No age escapes him. Present at the couch of the teeming mother, he ushers into life the citizen-infant. Assuming the sacred garb of the schoolmaster, he takes charge of the citizen-boy. {n a protean variety of shapes he fleeces the citizen-youth into that experience. which, costly asit is, scarcely enables the citizen- man to escape his wiles. Present at the last scene of all the bed-side of the departing citizen, he ad- ministers the potion which despatches his victim tothe only place where the Charlatan will trouble no more. Quackery is rampant in the land. Elsewhere the charlatan pursues his future calling in secret. He shuns the light, and, like certain reptiles, only issues forth under the cloak of night. He dwells in dark holes and hidden places, and veils his pro- ceedings under cunningly devised disguises.. He pays that tribute to real genius which vice does to virtue, by trying to his utmost to assume at least its mame and external appearance. But here he takes no such trouble. He flings off the cloak, and with unblushing effrontery, walks forth in the high- ways in broad noontide. His livery is seen in every street—his sign hangs at every corner, and he appeals in colossal characters from every wall. Far from disguising, he glories in his calling.— With Snake, in the comedy, he remonstrates against a good reputation, “Ah! sir, consider. I live by the badness of my charac- ter; I have nothing but my iofamy to depend on !” The moral habitude is reversed here. Instead of the pretender trying to copy the accidents of genius, geniusis often in its own defence compelled to resort to the instruments, and to adopt some of the less odious measures of the rank swarm with which he is surrounded and overpowered. He is not equally expert, however, in their use, and wields them to comparatively small profit. A system of me- chanism of consummate art is wreught by the char. Jatan by which the whole national press is reduced to subserviency to his ends. No journal, however honest, can avoid the predicament of forwarding his ends, and the venal participate liberally in the odious gains, the amount of which they are instru- mental in swelling. The effects are commensurate to such unawearied activity. He rises to an emi- nence compared with which the brightest hopes of legitimate professional genius are mere beggary. {le rollsin his chariot, dwells in a palace, and dies a millionaire! ‘The charlatan is abroad!” An Evrorgan TRAVELLER. Canana Riots.—If reports be true, the Cana- dians, without question, must be possessed of most pugnacious dispositions, for every paper which ar- rives from those regions, north of 45, bring word of riots—outrages—insurrection in miniature—not to speak of the bitter and despicably abusive alter. cations of those men of the quill, between them selves, who take such pains to publish and para- phrase the contentions of others. If, in the mid- dle of the four or five months which that rigorous and frozen climate allots ‘to the uses of industry— if, in the very meridian of businese—of hay-ma- king and the harvest, and with a current of specie flowing in from the coffers of the truly affectionate “mother country,” for the purpose of carrying on public works for the especial benefits of these spoiled pets—if, it may be asked, they cannot be- have quietly, decently, discreetly, thus bribed by the seasons and John Bull, (both alike volage and whimsical,) what will be their conduct when those sedatives are about or exhausted? What will be the demeanor of those promising Provincial youths in a state of social maturity, if inithis, their years of adolescence, they are kicking and tearing each others eyes out, for no other apparent reason, than that they are in the somewhat ludicrous condition of the tailor who proclaimed himself blue-moulded for want of a beating. These thoughts are suggested by reading in the Canada papers narratives of attacks by the Orange- men on the Catholics—retaliation on the part of the latter, and the turbulent conduct ot the Irish laborers on the canals, who, by last accounts, seem to have turned out for higher wages. Judging from the style of these narratives one is inclined to sup- pose that they were written in a spirit not very friendly to the workmen. We are disposed to think so for another reason, and that is, that we have had about a year end a half ago, an opportu. nity of knowing, by personal observation, the true state of the case, andh earing a great deal net only of the canse of these violent demonstrations of the canal men, and also the hostile disposition evinced towards them by a majority of the papers of Mon- treal especially. We have it from unquestionable authority that the origin of these strikes arose out of the paltry and dishonest attempts of pet- tyfogging contractors to pay the men in pro- visions at an exhorbitant price instead of money.— Other causes afterwards contributed, but they were only of a secondary nature ; that for instance sup- plied by the foolish rivalry between Cork and Con- naught. These occurring at a time of political ex- citement, were expertly made the subject of ex- travagant and inflated misrepresentation by the ultra loyal clique against the Irish, who were of course on the liberal side, and consequently their opponents. Possessing as we do, a thorough knowl. edge of the parties from whom theee libellous ti- rades against the poor, but honest laboring man emanate, we can confidently pronounce them as unjust to them as they are characteristic of those who pen, and the party who endorse them. We do not, however, mean to approve of their disputes and strikes, in acounting for their origin.— They are, however, features in Canadian society which show itto be ina very unsettled sfate, but perhaps not so bad as it will be when people, in- stead of quarrelling to prevent each other from working, will be at drawn daggers, to see who will secure the job. Common Councit.—The Board of Assistant Al- dermen will meet this evening at 7 o’clock. From Nassau, N. P.—We take fromthe Nas- sau, N.

With such endowments, the almost unparalleled brilliancy of Mr. Wilson’s success can hardly be a matter of wonderment. the theatre of the Polytechnic Institution, consist- ing of a series of songs, illustrating the seven ages of Shakspeare. -His success was so great, that he has already announced a series of concerts, illus- trating by vocal and instrumental music, the works of the immorta] Bard.

A lady to whom I can refer, was given up to dic; her physicians assured her friends that nothing could be done for her, that she was dying. What was the condition of this parson? She had been under our best physicians for some menths; her affliction was cancer on the right breast and consumption. A blister was wished to be raised ; one was rine the neck; it made no impression whatever. Other parts of the bedy were tried, and with no better success; there was not sutticient vitality in the system to raise a blister. She was suffering terrible agony, and she was determined as herdoctors gave her no hopes,to try what Braxpretn’s Pitts would do for her. She took eighteen the first day; she continued them in large doses, in two weeks she was so much better that she could walk about. Desirous of a ier’ : pee ee be Le a4 she st ee ut on her leg, designing to draw down the Ue | ws the Bie age finely, Tot one of ter doctors owned that it was as astonishing to him to see the blister as it wasjto see her at all, living, and so much recovered. What those Pills could be made of, and purge as they had done, and not kill, but acl, sustain the vital powers, was morethan hecould comprehend Here in New York, in the centre of our city, the greatest thing has been done in the way of absolute life lie unknown in ancient or modern times, till Brandreth’s Pills were known. Two months ago and this person was ian, Met ne dy of consumption and cancer, and now her consumption entirely cured, and her cancer is ina fair to be so. Is this medicine aquack medicine? Can this be equalled by any other medicine in the world in the good it effects 7 | answer no ! and ten times ten thousand can be referred to personally to sustain my assertion.

Askthe man who was dying from constipated bowels, what cured him ; he tells you, Bran- of ingpiration, that must live as long as mankind is capable of musical impression. Standigle, the greatest living bass-singer, sustained the principal part. The operatic department was very successful, both at her Majesty’s Drury-Lane and Princess theatre. Duprez, the great Tenorist, fromthe Pa- risian opera, appeared in two characters, and has been pronounced equal to Rubini. Madame Thil- lon, formerly Mrs. Hunt, prima donna of the comic opera and successor of Damoreau, played the ‘“‘di- amans de la cowronne’’ at the Princess, and took all hearts, if not the ears, by storm. Favanti, of the Italian opera, who was so egre- giously puffed, was a dead failure. She has a beau» tiful voice, but cannot jsing. Moriani, whe paid us a visit towards the end of the season, appeared in some of Rubini’s crack parts. He created a per- fect furore, both through his voice and singing, and will certainly be engaged for the next season.— Salvi sung only in concerts, and was a great favor- ite, especially with the ladies, who were delighted with his sentimental style. InTeREsTING FRom Canapa.—Our advices from Montreal are to the 24th inst. inclusive. All the provincial politicians seemed, at that time, to be absorbed in the formation of a new ministry. Ac- cording,to the Herald and Pilot, the following gen- tlemenwill compose the cabinet :— President of the Council, Mr. Viger; Secretary, Mr. Daly; Attorney General for U.C., Mr. Draper; Attorney General for L. C., Mr. Smith; Solicitor Gen for U.C., Mr. Sherwood; Solicitor General for L C.. Mr. Chabot; Commuasioner of Crown Lands, Mr. D. B. Papineau; Re- Geiver General, Mr. Wm. Morris; Inspector General, Mr. Merritt. There a be a strong French inflaencetin this Ministry, therefore a determization on the part of the gover it to continue in their concili- ationsto the French Canadians. It seems to be the smoothest course for Sir Charles Metcalfe to take as it is,*in its organization, fraught with far less difficulties than anyeothter. The Montreal Herald of the 24th inst., gives the following additidnal intelligence relative to the riots on the Beauharnois Canal :— ‘We regyet to learn that the strike among the Irish la- borers on the Beauharnois Canal is of a more deeply dis- graceful nature than we first anticipated, for they not only have refused to work themselves, by force of arms are compelling a numberof Frenc! ns who were employed on the Jineto abanion the wprks.
