NEW YORK* HERALD. New York, Monday, September 2, 1844. More News from Europe. We may, this evening, receive three days later news from Europe, by the arrival ot the Hibernia at Boston. She and the Great Western are alike in speed, and the Hibernia is, therefore, due this morning at Boston. The News from Europe. The arrival ef the “Great Western” has not, as will be seen on looking "over the full and faithful collection of extracts from British journals, put us in possession of any very wonderful occurrences, except the birth of the Dake of York, which, after all the din made about it, is not, perhaps, very strange—considering the previous performances of her Majesty. Yet the intelligence furnished by the files of papers thirteen days later in date con- tain some very interesting movements. It will be seen that Parliament stands adjourned till the 6th inst., at wkich period it will re-assemble to dis® charge its duties in relation to the case of the State Prisoners) As to what will be result, noth- ing is known further; but some of the best in- formed and most temperate of the public journals say that Mr. O'Connell is not at all sanguine as to its being favorable to him or his associates. The ut- most anxiety is manifested, however, by his friends, some of whom have, both in and out of parliament, been engaged, contrary to his wishes, in trying to conciliate the government by gentle persuasion, if not by qualified overtures, to relax the sentence which the ‘* Conspirators” are now undergoing. ‘The usual exchange of shots took place on the rising of the house, between ministers and the opposition. On the part of the latter, however, it was conducted by Lord John Russell with an un- common degree of temperance and mildness, to which Sir R. Peel replied in a corresponding man- ner—at the same time declaring his former resolu- tion to abstain trom all discussion as well as inter- ference in the legal discussions on the State trials, and offering a pretty strong pledge of being no less decisive in regard to the foreign relations of the country, which, in the language of the leader of the whig party, afford cause for great anxiety. The opinion we have already formed of the probability of a modification of the policy of Sir R. Peel’s government in the liberal direction, seems, from everything teat has occurred, to be confirmed ; and the great likelihood is, that so long as the mi- nistry are sustained by the voice of the country, he will continue to concede to the loud demands of dhe millions, as far as 1s consistent with justice to all,{dignity to hisjadministration, and safety to the country. ‘The revenue returns tor the quarter ending with July, are considered yery favorable, and evidence of greatly increased prosperity, although something less than presented by the April balance sheet. The crops are said to be highly promising, and upon a general summary, it is apparent that, be- tween the illustrious addition to his family, and the fair state of his domestic affairs, John Bull is in heartily good humor with himself, and with few exceptions, all mankind. Forrian News anp Expresses.—in thirty mi- nutes after we received our parcels brought by the Great Western, on Saturday evening, the,city was flooded with extra Heralds. Our office was besieged with merchants and others, and we issued, between the hours of 7 and 10 that evening, over ten thou- sand copies at two cents each. It is to the enterprise of this establishment and of Livingston, Wells, and Pomeroy, that the whole north are indebted for the early receipt of this news. Files of English papers, which reached us in the Great Western, were on their way to Albany before the Western touched her own dock! Our never-sleeping news collector boarded the steamer off Staten Island and landed at the Battery; thus giv- ing Livingsion & Co. time to reach the Rechester, then just starting for Albany, and enabling them to beat the government mails an entire day. In proof of this, read the annexed letter: No 2 Wat Sr., N. ¥., Aug.31, P. M. Dran Sin— We beg to tender to you our thanks for full files of London and Liverpool papera this evening, afew minutes before the steamer “Rochester” "left her dock for Albany; but in time to forward by her the foreign news received per steamer “Great Western,” to Albany, Bufta- lo, the Canadies, and Chicago, at least four and twenty hours in advance of Poatmaster Wickliffe’s United States “Express” Mail re Sit, your most ob’t’s., LIVINGSTON, WELLS, & POMEROY, New Vork and Buffalo Express. To J. G. Benner, Exqr, Editor of the N. Y. Herald, N. ¥. City. In addition to this we forwarded the newsthrough- out the east by the regular land mail of Saturday night, and over the whole south by another express one day in advance of every other newspaper in this city. ‘These are facts worthy of consideration in these piping times of enterprize and steam. Let every newepaper reader remember them. De. Larpwer’s Sarvatu Lectrrre.—The only thing that interfered with the almost unmixed grati- fication which the delivery of this discourse aflorded to the hearers was, that the edifice was not spacious enough to accommodate all who would have at- tended. Those, however, who were fortunate enough to procure a seat, seemed, from their in- tense attention, and the evidences of universal satisfaction apparent on every hand, to relish with fitting delight—and the lofty aspirations it is well fit to inspire that able vindication of revealed re- ligion, and the consistency of science with revela- tion, The beautiful and triumphant appliant of in- ductive reasoning—the great Baconian method of investigation—given last evening in Palmo’s, in confutation of skeptical scoffings, and the cavilings of materialists, left little room for doubt in well con- stituted minds, that science furnish evidence to satisfy any well constituted mind of the existence of a superior and superimtending power; and that is the book of nature. Characters at once legible and authentic, teem from its instructive pages of order, design, and benevolence, pervading all creation. By an examination of the laws of nature, he over- threw the infidel theory that chance, or the inhe- rent and eternal qualities of matter could produce the phenomena of the physical world; he showed that, even by the use of their own weapons, they could be foiled, and that, however, the book of revelation was to be regarded as a cause of grati- tude to the great eternal first cause—he has fur- nished to all who will read and mark, the concur- rent proofs, which the finger of His omnipotence and wisdom has traced on all the objects, relations, and ends of the physical world. ‘The illustrations were very beautiful and appro- priate. His splendid representations of the earth and solar system, were so many seasonable, appo- site and emphatic representations of the princi- ples felicitously set forth in the Doctor’s chaste phraseology ; they are fit to afford inexhaustible themes tor contemplation to the intelligent under- standing ; and the most legitimate object for the mind to study on the Sabbath day, after the writ- ten word of truth. We earnestly hope Dr. Lardner will repeat this great discourse in such a place a3 will afford accommodation to the thousands that will, it is certain, go to hear him; for in so doing, he will be doing a very excellent service to society and to religion itself. Tursttx Benevorent Socrery.—-One of the most numerous and happy excursions that ever combined pleasure with benevolence, took place on Friday last, on board the steamer “ New Jer- sey,” from this cityte West Point and Newburgh, under the management of a competent committee. Upwards of 600 enjoyed a rational and delightful respite from city care. A dinner, not only substan- tal but laxurious, was provided by Mr. Banks, the popular steward of the South America. Dancing under Mr. Parker, and fire works furnished grat tously by Mr. Edge, predominated on the return; and with the hospitality and attention of the com- mittee, added a charm to a scene of indescribable rratification to all who enjoyed it. ‘The Mormons and their Adversaries. On our first page will be found a lengthy and elaborate communication from the country of the Mormons, to which we give an insertion, not be- cause we are at all inclined to approve or endorse the views therein set forth, but because it is evi dently written by a man, who, from his contiguity to the scenes of the late tragical events—from his personal familiarity with both parties, and his pos- session of strong feelings on the subject, is just such a man as is well calculated to present the opinions of one party, and the one who really most wants an advocate—under the most favorable as- pect. Although sundry lame, discursive, and skulking attempts have been, from time to time made to palliate the atrocious massacre of the Mormon leaders, it is not within our recollection that another such bold attempt es that of our cor- respondent has yet been made to eutrage common sense, and common decency, by a gratuitous justi- fication of cold-blooded murder. It these, however, were merely the opinion of an individual, they might be left to that obscurity which is their most legitimate sphere. Were they to be looked upon as the expression of the feelings of an injured man, we could afford to look over the one and pity the other; but since there is good reason to believe that they are these of a faction, whose mouth-piece our correspondent is—since there is good ground for concluding that, how- ever extravagant, fallacious, {and absurd are his pleas in justification of the acts alluded to, they find an echo amongst the Mormon persecutors in Illincis; they are not altogether unworthy of a moment’s confutation. One would think, in- deed, that the public press had spoken in terms too plain in condemnation of persecution under any pretext, to permit of any attempt to give it a favorable, yet false coloring; but it seems that those whe are bold and reckless enough to mock at law, and contemn the properly constituted authorities, have not yet had that lucid interval in their madness, which betimes affords’the diseased mind the capacity to look dis- passionately on the true state of the case. It is truly a lamentable feature in society in that part of the country, that men, who, though not making the{decent profession of respect for the powers that be, and the reverence due te justice, are quite ready and adroit enough to appeal to it so far as they imagine it can be made subservient to pro, mote their designs. The twaddle of our correspon- dent is worthy of the famous Justice Shallow him- self. Were we disposed to argue with such an ex- pert disputant, we could well afford to grant all his premises. Whatever he may think to the con- trary, the facts of Joe Smith’s persecution in New York, in Ohio, in Ilinois—of his being a deluded fanatic, and, if he please, a man of licentious con- duct—all these have little to do with the case. It would be of much more utility to his cause, to show that these precedents for persecution were sound, reasonable, and de- fensible. It would be a much more legiti- mate task, and one to which it is obvious our learned correspondent has not yet devoted his at- tention—to ascertain whether an appeal to violence is excusable in any case, even in order to punish the heterodoxy of a fulse prophet. But judging from the length of his letter, he must be more par- tial to writing than to reading; for, had his intor- mation been at all better than those who act up to the spirit of the saying that “history is an old al- manac,” he would have been able to recall not a few occurrences similar to that of the sacrifice of the Smith’s—cases in which the principal actors were no less certain, that, because they made the love of God, and the love of truth their pretext, they did his service in consigning their fellow crea- tures to the Moloch of persecution, to the rack, to the gibbet, to the dungeon and to the flime, “ heat- ed seven times hotter than it waswont to be heated;”” and all that because they dared to use their ina- lienable right of private judgment; because that ac- cording to their consciences they departed from the path trodden by the multitude. What was the pretext for putting Daniel in the lions’ den, for consign- ing John Huss and Jerome of Prague to the flames? Why were piled the faggots for Servetus the re- former, and that by the hands of his associates; or what kindled the fires of Smithfield, and even in more modern times burned the witches of Salem and consigned Philadelphia Churches to conflagra- tion? One agency did all this—one thing alone— the demon of religious fanaticism. Well may the philanthropist grieve for the slow and intermittent progress of the world and the degeneration of his race, when he finds crimes that must make the accusing angel blush as he hands them in as the progeny of the nineteerth century. Well may the philosopher bv: puzzled with the co-existence of the mild, the rational, the sublime, but simple doc. trines of Christianity, and the atrocious and insen- sate relic of barbarous ages, which of old sough; to appease the gods by blood and murder. But our correspondent makes false representa- tions. Joe Smith, he says, refused to submit to a legal decision. What a short memory he must have. Where was the victim to mobocracy when he fell covered with wounds? Who constituted his body-guard on that occasion? Why, he was a voluntary prisoner in the common jail ; he was in the hands of the officers of justice. Yes, this man of violence, this advocate of carnal strife (as ru- mor says), at a moment when he was capable of making a desperate and perhaps not an unsuccess- ful resistance, dismissed his followers, disarmed his legions, and took the alternative of appealing to the law and to the testimony rather than satur- ate his holy city with blood. We are not—we do not wish to be—the defenders of the follies, the faults, or the crimes—if such there be—of the Mor- mon Prophet; but we willno more join in the hue and cry against the unfortunate dead. We know too well the truth of the saying, that “the evil men do live after them; the good is oft interred with their bones’”—to view with any degree of ap- proval,tor even indifference, the base attempt of a lawless band to cover their retreat from the scene of their sanguinary misdeeds, by a cloud of vilifi- cation and defamation of the dead. We might well wonder, truly, at the pertinacity in malice which prompts men to kill their victim, and follow it up by writing his epitaph in the dark characters of slander, did we not know that the assassins of the Smiths have method in their madness, and a motive for their guilty indecency. They are be- ginning to suspect that the law may yet assert its majesty; and a diversion in public opinion—fre- quently too powerful—might be made a very con- venient ally in the season of retributive visitation, No wonder then they seek to place on trial the memory of the departed, instead of themselves But it is a little too late in the day for that; they are already tried, weighed, and feund wanting; and they may yet find that even the redoubtable County of Hancock, in the State of Illinois, is not beyond the pale of punishment, although it may be of salvation. OvrraGe on A Femaur.—One of the Sunday of- ticers, named Hunt, was arrested yesterday and held to bail for a brutal and unmanly outrage upon a poor female in the street, the full particulars of which will be found under the police head. Such a man should be instantly removed from his little brief authority. ARTI, Ermrortan Minstreis.—This is not the compa- ny of “Serenaders” who have lately been perform ing in Palmo’s, as we inadvertently stated yester- day,an error which occurred very readily from the similarity in the names—as well asthe color—all alike belonging to the sable Ethiopian family. On to-morrow evening, the ‘‘Minstrels” will give a aconcert at the ‘Apollo,” and those who go to hear these performers will be well rewarded; so all Accounts from the South, where they have made a most successful tour, lead us to belleve. Bowery Cinevs Oren.—This establishment, re- cently refitted, will open this evening, with asplen- did troup of equestrians and horses, under ex- perienced management. wt va ‘The American Republican Party. We have published the declaration ot princi of their General Committee of this city, showi: pared for circulation. Here it The General Executive Committee of the American Republican Party of the city of New York, desirous that the people (both native and adopted), not only of our own city, but of this mighty EmpirepState, should fully and truly acquainted with the principles which this perrenterthie, keve herewith pul ed a brief exposi- ion of our political Faith and Creed—so far 28 seems at present to be demanded. And this manner of Siving a greater and more reliable publicity to so much of our policy and purpose as is herein contained, has been re- sorted to for the reason that the partizan papers and po- litical demagogues of both the great adverse parties of the day, have resorted to almost every means by which to falsify our measures and impugn our motives ; and the object and end of their false and unwarrantable Sapeee. tien, is to anticipate and prejudice the reception of our principles by those of our fellow-citizens who have never 17 been correctly advised of what our measures are, and what manner and respect we differ from the two other political bodies of the time. To those whose knowledge of the principles of the, Americon Republican Party is such only as has been ob- tained from our political foes, this ey is respectfully dedicated : and if, after reading it, it judged that our principles are not in consonance with the good of our common country, and do not comport and accord with the character of our peo le, and the genius of our institu. tions, no support is desired ; while, on the contrary, if they commend themselves to the true friends of our reli- ge. civil, and political institutions, as better worthy their approval and entertainment than the eant profes- ions of either the other political parties, a support of our ise is earnestly solicited. he first, and probably most ostensible principle of the American Republican party is, that the Naturalization Laws shall be so altered aste make it neces: for years in partans of foreign birth to reside Twenty One he United States before they shall be entitled to the priv- ilege of the elective franchise: and for this opinion, and he avowed purpose of using every honorable means to 0 a law, we are charged by the political de- magogues of both the adverse parties, not only with dis- tant, unkind, and hostile feelings toward foreigners, but with an effort to wrest from them their religious, civil, and political rights ; every charge of which i: certainly ialse, as it fs that a mojority of those who make them are, for selfish ends, foes to the true interesta of this Government, or that they are hypocri es in their loud pro- fessions of regard for th. fercigner’s rights. ‘The members of the American Republican Party pro- fess to be, and are full as windy (and with an honester pur pose,) to extend the hand of hearty welcome tothe for eigners who come among us aa the most ultra Whig: dr Democratic pens croaker, who, for party purposes, professes to be so regardful of the foreigners claims to political privileges. 3. We are not the enemies of foreigners, nor unwilling to see them come to our country and live among us. e have no disposition whatever to proscribe them from the full and free exercise of all the privileges and advantages of our common country which we ourselves enjoy ; nor do we hold any desire to do violence to any of the civil or religious rights “whichthe laws of nature and na- ture’s God entitle them to :” on the cont , we are Wily ling and anxious that all the blostions of our institutions, the full protection of our laws, and the favors of our po tical compact, shall be ax fully, fairly, and freely ex- tended to those of foreign birth, as to the native born, ‘We are desirous and content that all the avenues to wealth, prosperity, and happiness, shall be as widely and clearly opened to them as te us; and that the individual rights, relations, and obligations‘of our social community shall be as kindly and scrupulously observed between foreigner and native, as between natives themselves. In a word, that we shall beone people—possessing and en- joying ‘the same privileges, interests, and rigats, alone ‘excepting the privilege of the elective’ franchise ; which it is proposed to withhold from the foreigner until he has resided among us the term of twenty one years. And this exception is made upon the conviction that the nature and character of our institutions absolutely forbid that they should be too soon (even in part) entrusted to the care and control of a‘class of persons who, (though never so honest and well disposed), are of foreign birth, allegiance, prejudice, and political education. We do not contend but that the foreign as well as the native-born citizen has a right to participate in the legis- lation and administration of the laws that govern him, but we do contend t! the peculiar form ard nature of our government require that that right should not be exte ed to the foreigner until he has resided among us, not only long enough to learn the letter of our Constitution and apirit of our laws, but until he shall have had sufficient time completely and entirely to divest himself of all pre- judice for the government and country of his birth und education, and to have become so incorporated with the geniua of our institutions, so imbued with a love of our country, and so identified with the weltare and perpetuity of our government, as to be in spirit and in fact as truly an ‘American, as though to the “manor born.” Then, and not till then, should the foreigner be privileged to take a art in our laws, maintaining our government, and con- jucting the great interests of onr nation. Not only do ail the thoughtful and jealous native-born friends of our free institu oncur in this view of a foreigner’s rights and privileges as they stand connected with our government, but also (and to their honor) do a majority of the intelligent and well disposed of our for- eign: born citizens ‘he members of the Convention who framed and ray Ly the Constitution of these United States long and earnei discussed the question relative tothe time necessary for naturalization—many believing that the time should be specified in the Constitution, and among those there were none who contended for a less term than fourteen year s, nor any for a greater than twenty-one ; while there were another part of the members who held that the whole matter shonld be left to Congress, they arguing that it was then desirable, to people this country as fast ag possible ; and asa greater means to that end, it would be the policy of Congress, for the first few ensuing years, to make the term as brief as possible—leaving it m the power of that body, at all future time, to extend the term as prudence and a jealous regard for the safety and perpetuity of the Republic demanded, Such and such only, were the views Hie opinions held and expressed by the sage authors of that mighty base upon which rests the whole fabric of our government. If violence be done the political rights of the foreigner by denying him the privilege of voting until alter a resi- dence in this country of twenty-one years, then also is the same violence (in principle) done him by a retusal of that “ for five years ; and if it be proscription to deny him eligibility to office under twenty-one years, how greater is the wrong done him by a refusal altogether of an election to the Chief Magistracy of the Union, as also to the Gubernatorial Chair of seven of the States of our confederation, including the State of New York. But we affirm that jin neither case is there any just rights or entiled privileges withheld from the foreigner ; and for the reason that the true science ot politics (with us at least) ased upon the great question from which the term is derived, viz: the best policy of maintaining and verperuating our glorious republican form of gov: ernment ; and the elective “anchise is the ‘inalienable righv” of those onlyjwho, by birth or education, and love of ie are prepared and disposed to exercise it to that end, A diatinguished historian (Mach. Disc. 1, cap. vi) in assiguing u reason for the great duration of ‘the Venetian Republic, says that ‘' When they thought they were in sufficient numbers to maintain the commonwealth, they revented all others who came anew to inhabit there, irom taking part in the government. ‘This measure could ‘be adopted and maintained without disturbance; because when it was adopted, whoever then inhabited the state hada share in the administration of which no one could complain; those who came afterward to dwell there finding the state firmiy established and the Government settled, had neither cause nor opportunity for making disturbance. The cause did not exist, because nothing had been taken from them : opportunity there was none, because the Go- vernment kept them in check, and did not employ them in any matter from which they could derive authority. Not receiving foreigners in their republic they had no op: portunity of ming corrupt.” ‘There is one subject composing a part of the principles of this party, on account of which they are most anxious to extend thetime of naturalization. ‘We allude to the subject of Papacy. hile thia party disclaims holding any more hostile feelings toward that system of Christian Faith as such, than toward Protestanism, still we are frank to confess, that, judg'ng from the past history of that Church in ali ages of the European world, and from the evidences of its character and purpose already exhibited in the United States, (not the least of which was an Act by the Legisla- ture of this State—passed hy the order and under the-dic. tation of the Catholics ofthis city—to expel the Bible from our Common Schools) that we are distrustful of the bane- ful influence it may’ yet exert over the politics of this country. It is not to be denied that the Roman Catholic tem of religion is inimical to Political liberty, and it must also be admitted, that in all the nations of Europe, where Papacy has been the predominant religion of:the State, the Church has always assumed the whole direc: tion and control of the government. It hat ever claimed jed the right of being, at one and the same time’ civil and political governmentof the people. —and if, too, it is ‘the proud boast of this church that ber principles, policy, and purpose have, are, and will be ever the same, and if, also, the most superficial observer van look back among the nations of the Old ‘World and see ignorance, vice, and superstition the pe- cular characteristics of those people who have been crushed by the iron heelof hor despotism, and who are still bending under the heavy hand of her religie op. pression, is it not our bounden duty tu use every possible means that shall tend to protect our own hapry country from the withering embrace of her baneftl influence ? It is because alarge majority of the emigrants te our shores (from Catholic countries) are the signorant, super: stitious excrescent population of those nations, all of whom acknowledge their highest obligations to the Pope and their Church, and all obedient to the mandate of # corrupt and designing p thood, that we are desirous of #0 extending the naturalization Jawa as shall, in some de ted at least, protect our institutions from the direful in- juence of the Romish Church, and our Elections from the control of Catholic Bishops. We ise emphatically declare—and hope to be so un- derstood by both friend and foe—that we, as a political party, entert: ined no unfriendly feelings whatever towards the Cathelic Church, as ‘a religious institution disconnected with the politics of our country ; nor, in- deed against any other Church which does not seek an alliance with matters of State; while at the same time wa are at‘open hostility with my and all religious churches, sects, and denominations, of whatever name or character, that shall in any manner, and for any pu interfere with the political institutions of our hind, Ifit be said that our acta eccord not with our words for we only (as yet) garanited the Catholic Church”—our reply simply and Friefly is, that, it je thot Charch only, which has, as yet, given evidence of ge: rious interference with our civil polity, and of a d 5 ultimately, to control onr political institutions. At e add, with ¢ me regard for our country’s good, that, if any other sect or denomination of Christians shall so clearly evince the same design of incorporating ecclesi astical ranny with the government of this country, at we think the Catholics have, we shall as earnestly and uncompromisingly oppose the one as we do the others Our “hostility,” “proscription,” “opposition,” and “in toleration”—(for such are the heresies with which we are of the Whig party and the Demoeratie party, and as all parties are watching with jealous eyes, the movements of the Native American party, we pre- sent below an Address prepared under the sanction theirpolitical faith, which has been recently pre- joearyptrolinhyclen tralia s-cerant all Churches” and Sects, and too, just so far as they or any of them, interfere with the civil or political matters of our City, State, or General Government ; but no further—no fur- ther. Are we right, or are we wrong ? One among the any other objects of this party, is to Reform all the numerous orders of mis.administration and political mal-practices which exist; in almost every depart mentof our State Government, and of which the people have so long and loudly |. It will be our cer- tain care to abolish altogether throughout the State all those unnecessary offices whose first cause of creation and only reagon of existence was aud is that they serve as means by which the political a ts when elected to power take money from the Public Purse to pay those who have mest zealously red to his 5 It is the avowed oe eh Farts magnet honest and capable American Citizens only to the trul; necessary citices of Government and to administer the fairs of State with so strictly just and severely prudent a hand as greatly to reduce the public expenditures, Wherever t pony shall obtain dominion, whether in Federal, State or Local Government, especial care will be taken so to contro! and correct the sure and im; admjnistration of Justice as not tosuffer the guilty to es- cape, nor in amy case, to wink at those crimes and frauds committed in “velvet and fine cloth, apon high places;” but,on the contrary, to inflict the same relutive degree of punishment and with equal certeinty—upon the mil lion monied robber, who, whether under cover of Incor- porate Privileges, or by what other means, swindles the robs the credulous, or beggars the widow as that which is now so severely imposed up- unate and destitute, who, but too often are forced to the commission of the smallest crimes by extre- mest penury and want. Upon this great subject legislation and administrat e true, fearless and impartial n of just ond rightful laws— which indeed is the truest basisot all good Governments and the surest conservation‘of all well ordered fora 9 this party promises to bestow in both the State and Na- tional Legislatures a most thoughtful and earnest atten tion,and to revise and adjust all such Bills, Statutes,Codes and Rights of Law as do not comport and accord with the present state and condition of the American Beppe and to re-construct allsuch Courts of both Civil and Criminal jurisprudence as do not now afford speedy and even han- ded justice alike to; the poor man and the rich. It isa most monstrous fault with many of our courts ‘ot both Equity and Law thats Justice, by legalized, intricate and complex orders and forms of Law (ullot which must be waded through at a heavy expense), is so far removed from the poor man as to render it impossible for him ever to obtain his rights. This is a serious evil andthe more especially so for the reason that it is an evil affecting the worth and virtue of one of the most sacred and teportant Institutions of our government—the high and holy uin- pire ofhumon Rights and Wron| Upon the great political questions of the day—the Ta riff, Currency, Public Langs, extension of Territory, &. &e., it may be only necessary at present to state, in rela- tion to the first, that while we are regardful of our Civil, Religious, and Political Rights, we are not forgetful of our Commercial, Manutactural and Agricultural Interests; tothe second, that the Public Domain should be made a revenue for Common School Education; to the third, that we are in favorof a sound reliable currency, which shall fully answer the requirements of commercial inter- course, without doing violence to the letter or spirit of the Constitution; to the fourth, that we are disposed to en- large our Territory whenever a press of population ren- ders it necessary. ‘The full sense of these, and sfigplicding of like character, however, have not yet (at this stage of our party’s ex- istence) been fully resolved upon. ‘With the next ensuing Presidential question (Clay and Polk,) we have nothing to do: though we are frank to con- fess that we shall ever hereafter make that {question as much a matter of political and party interest as the elec. tion of any other officer who is dependent upon our suf- frage. ‘One wordin relation to the true means of correcting the evil complained of relative to the franchiserent of foreign- ers. An opinion is entertained by ‘many that it is not neces aary for Congress to extend the term of Naturalization, whereby to prevent}foreigners from voting until after a re- sidence here of 21 'year-,\as our State Legislatures have sufticient power to remedy the evil. This is a serious mis- take. Our State Legislatures have nothing whatever to do inthe matter. Congress and Congres alone has the pow- er ‘‘to establish a uniform rule of naturalization tisough: out the’United States;” and when once a foreigner be- comes naturalized, he is in every sense as much a citizen as though born in'this country, and has all the rights (the Elective Franchise ineluded) of the native born; and while the State Legislatures cannot confer the rights of citizenship and of franchise, so also they cannot take them away. It is true that tate has a right to deter- mine the time which citizens born without her borders, native as well as naturalized, shall reside within them before they shall be entitled to a vote; but this State pow- er cannot be substituted for the power to naturalize alone held by Congress, and forthe plain reason that it has the same bear! wf upon the native as well as theforeign born citizen. The Stateof New York (nor any other State) cannot confer upon a foreigner the right of fran- chise, though he may have resided within her borders twice twenty-one years, nor can she by any law prevent foreign born persons who:have been naturalized under the law of Congress from voting at her jpolls unless by that same law the native born citizens of other States are in like manner prevented. Space alone prevents a full and true expel of this subject. It is hoped, however, that enough has been said (even so briefly) to satisfy all that our, renal, agai an undue interference with our institutions, by fe almost innumerable mass of foreigners who are yearly brought to our country, is alone with Congress, The. American Republican Party was first formed in this city, alittle over one year since. We now hold the city government. We shill nominate, (and elect, we trust.) a Congressional Legislature, and State Senatorial Ticket this Fall ‘To those of our political faith and creed= throughout the State, ‘we say organize immediately. Cell the people together: explain to them the principles of the American Republican party. Form association, and whenever it is prudent, nominate a Legislative ticket. A State conven- tion will be held at Utica on the 10th of September. Let delegates from all parts of the State attend. The General Ex-Committee of the American Republican Party of the city of New York, will be most heppy, at all times, to af- ford all such information, documents and assistance, to either individuals or associations, as shall be in their pow- er. Our object, at present, is to disseminate our principles as much as possible, so that the great public mind may be prepared to decide upon their worth and virtue, immedi- ately after the coming Presidential election shall have passed. Our principles are alrendy upon the winds, ex tending themselves throughout the broad expanse of eur common country, The people far and near have caught the electric fire, and are only waiting for the pending Presidential question to be decided, when they will rise, and by one general concentration of principle and action, form one of the Fey peste parties—truly American—that has ever ruled the destinies of this Republic.

Political Movements, — Union Mggrinc.—The Polk and Dallas demo- crats of this city and vicinity, are about making arrangements to hold an extensive mass meeting in the Park, either on Monday next, or the Monday following. The object of this gathering isto assem- ble the democracy, and obtain an expression of opinion, ‘ doing justice to John Tyler.” Another object is to open the democratic doors with the motto of “ $10 reward and no questions asked,” to induce the return of all the seeders, waverers, and fence men, familiarly known as the conserva- tives, or branches of that disaffected portion of the democratic party. This will be one of the funniest, and the most extraordinary meetings ever held in this city, and we look forward with great anxiety for the result. Time will be given the correspond- ing committee to diiect letters to, and receive an- swers from all the prominent heretofore disaf- fected democrats of the nation. It will be a sort ef gathering in of the Jews, on a small scale, and Father Miller will certainly roag- nify the movement into a premonitory symptom of the approaching millennium. This is a wise movement of the democracy, and will result in some little benefit to their cause, particularly if they can induce the long lost conservatives to do penance by the payment of a few cool thousands, to be used for electioneering purposes in the fall campaign This will be a fine opportunity for many a poor devil, whose backslidings from demo- cratic grace has placed him on the shelf between both parties, to come into the sheep fold, make confession of his past sins and wickedness, and receive full absolution and pardon from the Grand Sachem of “Old Tammany.” What a chance for Noah! What an opportunity for John L. Graham! What an opening for Redmond Fisher! and other spirits from jthe bowels ‘of conservativeism ! We advise the Committee of Arrangements to prepare a pledge of political orthodoxy for signatures. Let it be distributed through the custom hoese, where there aresome four hundred office holders, who talk ‘Polk,” but who will slyly vote the Clay ticket, pledged or not pledged. Let them then step into the Naval office, where eight out of every tep clerks are loud mouthed whigs since Tyler bolted, and then place the roll on the grand stand at the meeting for the endorsement of those who may there present themselves as penitent backsliders from Old Tammany, No meeting ever yet held in this city will create more amugement, fun, and in- terest, than this in contemplation. Tur Last New Party.—The political death of the Tyler party has given birth, but not from its ashes, to a new political erganization, that in point of numbers will exceed either the old Conserva tives or the Tyler force. We allude to a new par- ty called the ‘‘National Reformers,” which has been secretly organizing for the past several months, but which has but recently presented its head to the political world. The main objects of this new party appears to bea distribution of the publiclands among all who will settle upon and devote their time to agricultural pursuits, and each member of the asseciation is pledged to vote for one of its members, nominated for the offices within the gift of the people. They have already between four and five hundred members in this city, and from that body they intend to select candidates formem- bers of Congress, Senators and Assembly. The majority of the Association are members of the Democratic party, and the casting of their votes for candidates from their own Association, may in- terfere ina small degree with the prospects of the Democratic candidates, as in jall probability there will be three other tickets in the field for these im- portant offices. Amusements, Nivro’s Garpen.—The lovers of laughter have a rare treat in store at this gay resort to-night — Mitchell appears in his original feomico magico-musical character of “ Hamlet,” his performance of which is the very essence of rich burlesque.

Persons that have been partially deaf for years, 0 much so as to avoid the possibility of conversing with their friends, have not unfrequently, by using even less than one bottle of this Oil, been greatly relieved and almost entirely regained their hearing. For buzzings sounds like the hummings of insects, or any other greeable noises in the ears this Oil is almost certain to cure. The proprietorsare daily receiving the most flat- tering testimonials of the efficacy of this 0! d asa relief for deafness in all cases, and a cure in most they would confidently recommend it to the afflicted.

He that at whist should have four honors, six trumps, always dealt him, would lose his whole diversion because he would have nothing to do but to throw down his cards and win the game. In bowling, the player takes care to deliver hus bow! aright; he rans aiter it, chides it, encourages it, writhes hia body in all manner of contortions, as ifto in: fluence its bias, and in thia consists his entertainment, for the joy of winning the game is over in a moment. He takes his stake, pockets it, and only thinks where to throw the jack for beginning another cast. But there is no true pleaso under the writhing sgonies of a confirmed Dinrrher, a Cholic or Cramp, unless Ber- nard’s Diarrhora Medicine is given. For sale eee Proprietor, at 97 Nassau st., N.

W. 8. RICHARDSON, M.D. Ag MONEY MARKET. Sunday, Sept. 1—6 P. M. The stock market continues in the same dull depressed state, noticed for several weeks past. The operations are to a very limited extent, and prices remain at yery re- duced points, The state of exchanges and the movements of specie sppear to absorb the attention of speculators,— A very great improvement in quotations for stocks can- not be expected until the position of the markets gene. rally is more clearly defined. Several very heavy houses deeply interested in stocks, have all through the season made great efforts to keep exchange below a specie point, so that the precious metals would rest quietly in the vaults of our banks. ‘The shipment of several millions of dollars would, undoubtedly, relieve, for a time, the banks from the dead weight they are compelled to carry in the shape of specie to sustain their credit with thejpublic;'and the shipment of afew millions would, no doubt, have a very favorable influence on our foreign trade, without endangering the present prespority of our local affairs, but the stock epeculators are entirely govern- ed by their position for the moment, and invariably resort to measures tending te advance their individual~ interest, rather than the ultimate prosperity of the com. mercial community at large. This is very natural, bu they do not, in all cases, succeed in their object. Every dollar that goes abroad in specie, hasan influenceonour foreign trade, and should the exportation of the precious metals rapidly increase, it would do more to stop the importations of for mannisctures thon any other movement that could be made. ‘Those interested in advancing the prices of stocks, are striving through their dupes, to create an impression that the immense importations made this year, are not to be paid for until
