NEW YORK? HERALD. _New York, Pucsday, september 3, 1842. The Duties of American Citizenship. ‘We begin to think that it is very unreasonable to visit, with indignant rebuke, the slanderous at- tacks made upon the institutions of this country, and the character of its people, by the press of Great Britain. We really cannot resist the con- victien that the greater portion of the violent and savage viluperation and calumny which are poured out against us on the other side of the Atlantic, are but the mercenary and inevitable result of the daily efforts of the party press and party politicians of the United States. Is it at all to be wondered at, that with our party newspapers teeming with the vilest personalities—with the whole people ap- parently absorbed in a contest about men, perfectly regardless of the great and solemn principles on which their liberties repose, the adversaries of free government should take advantage of our weak- nesses and follies, out of our own mouths, con- victing us of unfaithfulness to the great trust which has been committed to our hands ? The present is certainly one of those crises, in which it becomes the urgent duty of all who really love freedom and appreciate the excellence of those institutions under which this western world has, within the last half century, bounded to greatness and renown, transcending in interest and dignity even that of Imperial Rome, to address to men a few words of truth and soberness in relation to their privileges and their duties. The whole coun- try isat present heaving and laboring under an agi- tation, which pervades every ‘portion of society. You cannot find a single spot free from this con- vulsive influence. Everywhere the indications of a pretty excited state of popular feeling are mani- fest. And why? What great revolution is in pre- gress? What principles of universal interest and value are threatened? What great question of im- portance to thisnation andj to the human family’ awaits for itsdecision the result of this agonized parturition? The ragged news-boy will tell you that all this isa struggle between Clay and Polk, and the grave statesman, who rushes from the council-chamber to address a bar-room mob, will give you but the same reply. “Clay” and “Polk” — Polk” and “Clay”—this is the only response which the inquirer receives in any quarter, where he would attempt to ascertain the causes of that agitation which distracts and divides the country from the centre to all its extremities. A popular centest thus waged merely about men— with no nobler aims than the gratification of party feeling, the elevation of some personal friend to office, or the chance of securing some petiy appoint- meat, must of necessity be conducted in such a manner as to afford ample materials for sarcasm, reproach, and withering rebuke on the part of the enemies of a popular system of civil government. Now, surely an enlightened and reflecting consi- deration of the duties of American citizenship will suggest some more appropriate and becoming course of action than this. Surely if the minds of men were allowed to review the past—to feel the influence of that patriotic spirit which, thank Hea- ven, is not yet extinguished—far from it—to reflect calmly and solemnly on the mighty trust which has been placed in the hands of American freemen, we would see far less of this low, vulgar, abusive squabbling about men, which disgraces the political arena now, and far more of the lofty, patriotic, and honorable effort fer the advancement of human liberty all the world over, which characterized the men of the last generation. ‘The great and prevalent delusion which has had much to do with the political degradation so great- ly to be deplored, is, the belief, practically acted upon every day in the year by the great masses of the people, that the founders of the Constitution accomplished the great work given them to do— that their posterity have nothing to do but enjoy the fruits of that great labor, quietly sitting, each man under his vine and fig-tree, having none to make afraid. A groeser delusion never led a people away from duty. The work in which George Washington and his compatriots toiled, and fought and bled, counting not their lives too costly a sacrifice so that it was conduct- ed to its consummation of glory and blessed- ness, was by them but commenced. They laid the foundation stone of the great superstruc- ture of human liberty; on their posterity has de- volved the duty of carrying on the work—a work never to be ended till in all lands the sceptre of despotism be broken, and all men be free. If this enlarged and comprehensive view of the privileges and duties of American citizenship were taken by the people of this land, our political movements wouid present a widely different aspect from that painful one whic characterises them now. If the minds of men were thus properly impressed with a true sense of duty—if their spirits were associated by that glowing spirit of universal benevolence, and that ardent love of universal liberty which fired the breasts of those whom we dare to call our glorious ancestry, how different would then be oar political gatherings, and our party news- papers, and our political agitators! We would not then witness the citizens of this land split up into fiercely contending factions, fighting about a man, and disgracing themselves and the country by vulgar personalities, and all the disgusting and insensate mummery of party. Nor would we then find bigots who could stand in the face of Heaven and of all men, declaring that the gates of this great asylum for the oppressed of other lands must be closed, and that none but they were in future to drink of the pure streams of freedom and social happiness. No. If the citizens of this land all understood their duties—duties to the discharge of which every blessing and privilege bestowed by the institutions under which it is their happiness to live is a pressing admonition—the malignant foes of free government would look in vain for those materials of censure, ridicule and reproach which unhappily now exist in abundance; and the influ- ence of the example exhibited by the United States to the people of the ancient world would, in a single year, effect more in the advancement of human liberty than it does now in a quarter of acentury. Reader, whirling in the vortex of party politics,will youthink for one moment of this brief, passing word of admonition ? Tre Corroration Atrorney.—We perceive by the proceedings of the Board of Assistant Alder- men, on last evening, that this learned functionary is at loggerheads with the Comptroller and the Corporation—having refused to account with the Board of Common Council since his appointment, or to hand over, monthly, the amount of funds re. ceived in corporation suits, as he is compelled to do by law. We shall be curious to see the report of the committee Common Councr.—Both Boards will meet in joint ballot on to-morrow (Wednesday) evening; an ordinance of this Board making it imperative on the Common Council to meet in joint ballot on the first Wednesday of every month, Hientann Guanvs.—This company proceed, te. day, under the command of Captain Craig, to the Railroad Hotel, 86h street, (4th avenue) for tar- get practice, where a silver cup awaits the suc- cessful marksman. Mr. Lennox has provided an ample supply of the “creature comforts.” Iris Minstrey this evening to Tom Moore’s Melodies. In illus- tration of this entertainment, there will be much interest in some of them, showing the converta- bility of some of the airs from a pensive and senti- mental expression, to a more gay and humorous mood. The selection will comprise the gems of trish melodies. Gamp.ina.—We see by an advertisement in our paper, that Green, the reformed gambler, begins a course of lectures this evening. We expect that he will make some singular developments relative to gambling. Hostile Feeling between France and Eng- land. At no period since the termination of the whig administration, during which Lord Palmerston’s energetic foreign policy so strongly resisted the belligerent attitude assumed by Mons.Thiers, have symptoms of a hostile spirit between France and England been more manifest or abundant, than at this present moment, in each of those powerful and rival nations. Occasionally, it is true, there appeared evidences of the existence of asmall, yet industrious set of alarmists, who, on every plausible pretext gave vent to their apprehensions or their wishes, that war was to be regurded as an impending event.— In France, particularly, at one period, the public sentiment was intensely imbued with this warlike spirit, nor do we believe it has undergone much di- minution till the present day. In England, on the contrary, the mass of the people judged more so- berly, and thought more dispassionately. There was no desire to see a rupture of the peace which has happily prevailed for thirty years, and which it is her interest to perpetuate; and as the whigs were charged by their opponents with being in ad- vance of public opinion in favor of hostilities, they were superseded by the less bold, but, per- haps, not less discreet and cautious conservatives. At present, however, a marked change is observ. able, not only in public opinion, but im the views of ministers themselves ; for, when we find Lord John Russell rising in his place in the House of Commons to express his satisfaction at learning from Sir R. Peel, “that he was prepared to follow up the policy of the late goveroment, which, while it admitted the settlement of France on Algiers protested against her being permitted to extend her possessions, either in“Tunis or Morocco.” When we find that Sir R. Peel gave, in not expressing a shadow of dissent, a negative assent to what’ the leader of the opposition ascribed to him as his in- tentions, itis fair to conclude that the Prime Min- ister concurs with Lord J. Russell, that the time has come when circumstances have made it neces- sary to be not only vigilant towards foreign rivals, but to show a bold front and a determination to counteract the adverse influence of French policy, and, if need be, to concentrate the vast resources at his command, for the preservation of the empire in all its integrity. If anything more were wanting to convince us of the reality of the change in the peaceful feeling and prospects of that country, it might be found in the remarkable animation and warmth with which the leading journals—French and English— discuss the question of war. Some of the London papers, with a degree of talent, energy, and no slight infusion of asperity, not merely advise, but demand that reparation be had from the French Government for the “ gross outrage” perpetrated in the Pacific under the sanction of the French flag. But however pregnant with importance that ques- tion may be considered, the affairs of Morocco present another issue not less portentious, and one which, alone, according to the highest authorities, quite justify the assertion made in Parliament that ‘at no period since the general peace, with the ex- ception of the autumn of 1830, just after the French and Belgian revolutions, and the autumn of 1840, just after the operations in Syria, have our (British) foreign relations been ina state to require so much anxiety.” In the present state of the negotlations between the two powers it would, notwithstanding the signs of the times—this intensity of national feeling and ministerial solicitude—be too much to say what may be the termination of all these menaces, tur- moil and agitation. The next steamer may be the harbinger of more certain intelligence ; but before that period we could scarcely be justified in form- ing conclusions in entire accordance with those of the English press, which treats the question of coming war with a solemnity and earnestness sel- dom witneesed on occasions of less than the most serious import. Tue Park Tueatrre Re-Openep.—The public were last night aflorded an opportunity of judging for themselves of the extent and success of the magnificent effort made by Mr. Simpson, to cater for their entertainment, and resuscitate the decayed fortunes of ‘‘ old Drury.” There was a full house —a very full house for this season of the year, and Miss Clara Ellis, Mr. Anderson, and Mr. Dyott, the stars brought over from Europe, were greeted by an audience whose respectability in numbers and every thing else, gave gratifying evidence that a taste for theatricals still exists in this city, and that there are many who would support the drama, if the respectable gentlemen who have taken that distressed lady under their special protection, would afford them the slightest chance of doing so. The play selected for the debut of the strangers was ‘ Othello.” Mr, Anderson, the Moor, Mr. Dyott, Iago, and Miss Clara Ellis, the gentle Des- demona. Mr. Anderson was respectable—quite respeetable. Mr. Dyott, ditto. Miss Clara Ellis, ditto. We believe there is not the slightest room for another syllable of criticism. The artists brought over by Mr. Simpson are, we do not doubt, highly respectable in their line, but they certainly do not possess the highest order of dramatic talent, and every body will now ask, what has Mr. Simpson done after all? What has he accomplished that could not have been done without any noise? Why did he make such a tremendous fuss before he went to Europe? Why did the everlasting committee on theatrical affairs, and all other affairs, out of which a dinner and a dozen of champaigne could be squeezed, get up with such parade a complimentary benefit for the purpose of filling Mr. Simpson’s pockets so as to enable him to buy up all the dramatic talent, and all the operatic talent, to be found in Great Britain ? Why was heaven and earth so moved to do what ? to bring out Miss Clara Ellis, Mr. Anderson, and Mr. Dyott! Paumo’s Orrra Hovse—Dr. Larpner’s Enter- TAINMENTS.—Those who have not yet shared in the enjoyment and advantage of these lectures and exhibitions, should avail themselves of the oppor- tunity which this week affords, as this is the last week§ they can be produced at this house. The subjects announced comprise a tolerably complete course of astronomy, terminating with the cele- brated Lecture on the Stellar Universe ; some novelties, in the way of optical exhibition, are also announced, more particularly those effected by means of an instrument, called the.A phaneidoscope, which, for the information of unlearned readers, we may observe means, one which can exhibit opaque objects in the same manner as the Magic Lantern, and the Microscope show transparencies. The effects of light and shadow, produced by the exhibition of busts, medallions, and basso-relie- voes with this instrument, are curious and inte- resting. Navat.—Commodore J. D. Sloat, will leave in a few days, to take command of the U.S. squadron in the Pacific Ocean. An United States vessel will sail from Norfolk on the 15th September, for the Pacific Ocean, Any letters intended for the United States equa- dron, or merchants in the Pacific, which may ar rive at Norfolk before the 15th, will be for- warded. Fire.—A fire broke out last night about 11 o’clock, in the five story store, 46 Proad st., oceu- pied by Phiefer & Wissman, the two upper stories of which were considerably damaged. The store adjoining, No. 44, was also damaged in the upper part. Both buildings suffered great injury from the immense quantity of water thrown into them. Fixe tv Brooxtyn.—About one o’clock yester- day morning, a fire broke out in the rear building of the bakery of John Langstaff, on Myrtle Ave- nue, Brooklyn, and which, with a stable adjoin. ing, were entirely consumed. The building front ing Myrtle Avenue, and two others on the same street, were materially damaged. One horse in the stable was burnt to death. Saratoga jo. 10. _— U.S. Horer, Sararoga, 30th August, 1844. We have said that the “ Charlatan is abroad ”— abroad under every eomeeivable garb, but especial- ly ‘assuming the name and character of those func- tions which invelve more exclusively the faculties of intellect, imagination and taste. The mere ma- terial pursuits, the mechanical arts, are exposed to an examination too general, and their merits are understood too universally to afford that shel- ter which is necessary for the purposes of the charlatan. He takes refuge, accordingly, where his claims cannot be so easily or certainly tested ; whiere the reality of his extravagant pretensions cannot be readily tried, and where, consequently, his {systematic imposture can be conducted with most success. This foul demon pollutes, by his hateful presence, the sacred precincts of the liberal professions ; the hallowed temples cf the arts; the haunts of the muses, and the halls of polite letiers. The Americans are shrewd—proverbially shrewd. They pique themselves on being, in an eminent de- s.ee, what is called knowing. No people have a greater horror of being duped, or of being regarded by the rest of the world as green. Yet they are, indubitably, the best humbugged nation on the globe. The unfledged quack selects them to prac- tise on—they form his hornbook. The full-grown bloodsucker fattens on them, Will the aspiring citizen submit to retain such a position? Will he yield himself ap unresisting, nay, willing prey to the swarm of reptles, which, annually passing the Atlantic, infest his noble:couatry? If he will not, let him rouse himself from his torpor—let him Awake, arise, or be for ever fallen. The extent of quackery which prevails in medical practice in this country, has no parallel elsewhere, either in present or past times, uor is it easy to conceive any degree of public credulity great enough to explain the general success which attends it. In our limited experience of this coun- try, some of the wealthiest establishments which have come within our notice, have been the pri- vate residences of fabricators of quack medicines. In , We visited a large factory, where a vast variety of ointments, plasters, balsams, syrups, and other preparations were manufactured on the large scale. We were politely shown through the pre- mises by the proprietor, who was also the inventor and author of this strange catalogue of reme- dies—this novel pharmacopia. Having found it easy to obtain some samples of these, we examined and analyzed them, and actually found them to be composed of the most ordinary substances tinged usually with seme coloring matter. Thus the ointments were usually lard. The draughts or drops commonly alcohol or brandy, flavored by va- rious vegetable productions. Doubtless these lat- ter obtained a large demand among the total absti- nence people. The arch-charlatan himself resided in a splendid dwelling, was a person of the highest consideration in the place, held the title or rank of “general,” and entertained us em prince. On taking leave, we were presented with a volume in which the praises of his medicine were sung by the general himself, and in which he gravely maintained that they would cure every malady and every injury incidental to the human body. We take up at hazard, a New York paper, in which we have measured two hundred inches in length of the columns devoted to advertisements of every sort. On measuring oft the announce- ment of quack medicines, we ascertain that they alone measure eighty inches. Thua of the entire revenue of thispaper, (and it is one of wide and respectable circulation) forty per cent is derived from the profits of the charlatan ! Taking up another paper, we finda single adver- tisement which occupies three entire columns, and the publication of which, for a single day, could not cost the advertiser less than sixty dollars.— ‘This advertisement 1s the announcement of a sin- gle quack medicine! ! The fabricator of notable productions has called it “the World’s Salve.”— Of course it cures every ‘conceivable disease— whatever did in times past, that does in times present, or that may in times to come aflect the human family. It will even recover those that have been peisoned, no matter what the poison may be—will mend the skeleton of those whose bones have been broken—will repair the flesh that has been burned—cure cold feet, saltrheum, era- dicate corns—nay, even mortification itself will yield to it. We shall look forward to un early an- nouncement of its power to reanimate the dead. + Charlatanism in other forms, anon, An Evrorgan TRavELurr. Axrest oF Prize Fieuters.—Some of the par- ties engaged in the late prize fight within the coun- ty of Plymouth, were arrested at Boston on Friday evening last. They were taken to Hingham for examination on Saturday. The names of these arrested are Long and Wright. Smith, one of the principles, escaped to this city. Overianp To Cuina.—E. A. Barnett, Esq., has been appointed Naval Store Keeper, at Hong Kong. We believe he proceeds to his mission by the overland route. Be 1n Timz.—There is to be a grand excursion and ball on board the Thomas Salmond, next Fri- day. See advertisement. Common Council. Boarp or Assistants.—The Board of Assistants met last evening, Witt1uam Evenpert, Esq. in the chair. — [The Board of Aldermen did not meet] The minutes of the Inst day’s proceedings were read aud approved Petitions being in order, a petition received from W. Dirt Carts—A petit received trom F.H. Pettis, praying the adoption of the necessary steps tu increase the dirt carts, four times their present tioner states that “such a measure woul tional feather in the already proud chaplet of the present Common Council.” The petition was referred. Reports.—A report in favor of paving Eleventh street was read and concurred in. A report, adverse to werk. and extending Bethune street to Hudson street, was laid on the table Report from the Committee on Laws in favor of amend ing an ordinance regulating the duties of Weighmasters and Guagers. Concurred in. The amendment gives power to the Mayor to renew licenses; but reserves the power of removals to the Board of Common Council. Emigrants—Report, adyerse to the prayer of certain petitioners, asking the Board to direct the Corporation Attorney notto prosecute for fines incurred by owners of vessels in lan 0, emigrants on other wharves than that at the foot of Vesey street, which has been uppropri- ated for that purpose, A Report in favor of amending an ordinance in relation to the sale of fire-works, concurred in. Appoimment—Robert Rice, weigher of coal. Reports in continuation being in order, a report was read from the Board in favor of amending the ordinanc in relation to carts and imposing certain regulat which compel the owners of to keep off the wharves until within fifteen minute er the landing of the steam boats,so ar to enable foot passengers to pass through in safety. The report was non-concurred in. To favor of imposing jalty on all persons placing clumps of filth on the side-walks. Concurred in. A petition was received from Joseph Brown, the Pole confined in the Eldridge street prison for the violation of acity ordinance. Ald. Voonnts remarked that the prisoner was already discharged, and moved to let the petition lie on the table. Carried, A report from the Board in favor of appropriating $4375 for building a pier at the foot of Third street, East River. Referred. Cunous Cranar.—Tur Corronation Attorney. A communication twas received trom the Comptreller complaining of neglect on the part of the Corporation Attorney—Stephen Sammons--in refusing to make his monthly returns in compliance with tae requirements of the statute, or disbursing any of the public monies for the use of the Corporation eince his appointment. Assistant Alderman Hexny considered that the keeping of the public monies for three months was an outrageour proceeding, ond the Corporation Attorney had taken no notice of @ similar resolution already passed some six weeks ago. He would, therefore, move that the Corpora: tion Attorney be directed to report forthwith the monies phate parties in the different suits, and the amount re- ceiv Assistant Alderman Voonnis,thought it would be as well to refer to the finance committee for the present. He would move the dismissal of the Corporation Attorney himaell if after the present he refused to report. Assistant Aldermen Divvex moved for immediate action on the subject as the wiliul plunder of this officer had already kept over $4000 out of the hands of the corpora tion up to this time. It was aknown fact, that in many cases he had compromised the cases of the corporation, and refused to hand in this immense amount, or account for it to the Comptroller. ‘A special committee were appointed to invéstigate this curious matter, consisting of Assistant Alderman Henry, (of the minority,) Johnson, and Teylor, Afvor disposing of a few further unimportant papers from the Board, the Board of Assistants adjourned. Political Movements. Provipence Mugringi—The friends ot Governor Door agsemble at Providence to-morrow, and @ steamboat leaves this ety this afternoon to convey passengers. A large delegation will be present from Massachusetts, Connecticut and New Hamp- shire, and thousands from Rhode Island, will unite in the assemblage. Weanticipate some startling results, and shall, therefore, send a corps of repor ters to present our readers with a full account of all that may transpire of interest. So look out for something important. Vermont Execrion.—Vermont holds an election to-day for Governor, Lieut. Governor, Members of Legislature and for Members of Congress. Last year the democratic vote in this state was 18,018, and the whig 82,440—showing a whig majority of 14,422, In Maine the election takes place next Tuesday. These are the only elections held in September, but seven States vote in October. Tux Sovrnern Democrats now in the city will assemble at Tammany Hall this evening to make arrangements to attend the Trenton Mass Convea- tion to be held on Thursday, which will be a large turn-out, and all proceedings of interest found in the Herald the next morning. Native Harver.—James Harper, the wealthy brick-maker of Philadelphia, has been nominated by the Natives of that city as their candidate for State Senator. Mr. Harper is a native of Ould Ireland, and was sent to Congress a few years since by the whig party of that city, who then dis- tributed hand-bills headed ‘ For James Harper, the Irish briek-maker, for Congress.” What does this mean? Who knows? Great River Convention.—The Democratic Ward Committees are contemplating the holding of an immense mass meeting at Troy in afew weeks. They are making arrangements to charter. seventeen steamboats from this city, and one from Brooklyn, Jersey City and Staten Island, making twenty in all, who are to ascend the noble Hudson in procession, and take all the inhabitants of the river counties who may choose to go at an expense of about twenty-five cents per passage. Such an exhibition. would cause much excitement along the line of the river, and add many a vote to the de- mocratic side of the State. Nomination For Governor.—The Democratic Convention to nominate a Governor, at Syracuse, assembles to-morrow, and will, probably, nomi- nate on Wednesday. Silas Wright will be select- ed, and will consent to serve. Visrrors.—C. A. J. Swift, U.S. A., is staying at the American Hotel: also J. N. Morris, U.S.N.

A motion for attachment against the Jus- tices of the Marine Court, for not making a return to a certiorai issued from the Superior Court, was made by Counsellor Brien ; who charged the Justices with having demanded an excessive amount of fees, and not making the return according to law. Justice Sartn was heard in reply, and contended that the Marine Court Justices had acted strictly in accord- ance with the requirements of the statute. The Court has reserved its decisiun.
