In the midst of a furious contest between the two great parties, into which the country isdivided, headed by Polk on the one side, and Glay on the other, it 18 singular to remark that several new parties are beginning to show themselves in various parts of the country, organized for various purposes, Such is the unbounded freedom and tolerance ot opinion in this country, that no one, however ex- treme his views, and ultra his creed, can fail in creating a sect—a party—a faction ready to follow at his heels wherever he may wander. In 1840, when the contest was raging between Harrison and Van Buren, the germ of the present abolition party was fermed—a party which last year in the free States numbered fifty thousand votes, and has now, itis supposed, reached one hundred thousand. In the midst of the present contest we have seen a new party rise up in some of the chief cities and villages, called ‘‘ native,” growing out of specific grounds and pupular complaints, connected with naturalized citizens and a particular religious sect. And now whilst the two great parties are keeping the country in a constaut state of excitement by all sorts of meetings—revelries—processions—song- singing—blackguardism—riots—in order to forward their respective purposes, we find that during the last few months, a new, strange, and unprecedented party has been gradually growing up in this city and this State, which may be traced to the recent grand Fourier movements and Fourier lectures by certain distinguished philosophers throughout the country. It was about eight weeks ago, on a lovely after- noon, when the little boys and girls were playing and amusing themselves beneath the shade of the stately old trees in St. John’s Park, with the new fountain gushing up fifty feet to heaven before them, when a broad-shouldered, sinewy man, with long thick matted hair, a heavy beard and fiery eye, was observed erecting a little stage near the iron railing of the Park. Shortly afterwards he mounted the stage and having attracted a little crowd of auditors around him, he addressed to them a lecture, a speech, or whatever else it might be called, on the evils of the times, and particularly the oppression which the working people of this city and country had to bear from their aristocratic masters. He spoke with a great deal of fierceness, casting his eyes wildly around upon his auditors, and pointing out the various splendid mansions which surround that beautiful Park, catching his illustrations from the objects around him. ‘ Look at that splendidjpalace on'the left with the Venetian blinds—listen and you will hear the rich tones of the piano, as they stream through the open window —and you maylsee the gaudy inmates looking out and surveying the poor and needy passers-by with an eye of cold contempt and utter heartlessness. I have been a workman, worn down by toil, for twenty years and more. I helped to build that lovely building, and yet I have nota cent in my pocket, and hardly know where I am to repose my head at night, whilst they have thousands and thou- sands, and fare sumptuously every day. Is this just? is it justice that the man whe builds these places should be starving in the streets, whilst they who never put one stone upon another are enjoying all these comforts and luxuries?” ‘‘That’s true!” exclaimed one of his auditors. Others turned up their eyes, not knowing exactly what to make of it. The children around the fountain paused in their sport and wondered what the strange man who talked so loudly meant, and listened to him for a moment, but not understanding the depths of his principles, went on and gambolled as before. And thus the speaker went on from beginning to end in the same strain; diverging sometimes to one illustra- tion sometimes to another—abusing the proprietors of the splendid houses in the neighborhood of the Park, because they shut up those beautiful grounds from the public, and gave private keys to particular individuals for their exclusive enjoyment. Such was the seene which took place on abeau- tiful afternoon, a few weeks ago, in New York. And such is a specimen of a number of individuals who have been very busy perambulating the streets of New York, and talking at corners—in grog shops —in small work shop —at the steamboat landings —over at Hoboken—down on Staten Island—every where, where they could find a small auditory—in relation to the present unjust organization of socie- ty as they call it—and the growing inequalities be- tween men entitled to the same rights and privileges with all those general denunciations which have for the last two or three years been circulating widely by such men as philosophers Greeley and Brisbane, through the columns of the Tribune and in some other journals. Well, what is all this coming to? It is coming now to a practical point in the present election. A party has just emerged in this city, small to be sure, but calculated slowly to increase because they receive countenance in all their spmpathies and a variety of their principles from high quarters. This party is most certainly destined to disturb the peace and good order of so- ciety, and to spread unhappiness and discontent through all the regions of industry in the land. We will particularize. During the last few weeks scenes have taken place in Rensselaer coun- ty in relation tothe farms of the Heilderberg re- gion, which are paraded in all the journals of Eu- rope, as proof positive of the incapacity of man for self-government, and the total failure of the repub, lican institutions of America, Those riots which have taken place have sprung from the principles of the Fourterites, and the latter express, as we have all seen, sympathy with these distur- bers of the peace, and violators of the Jaw. Aud we lind that some of the principal leaders of the whig party areengaged in the same mistaken cru. sade against the principles of order. Weallude to Thurlow Weed of the Albany Evening Journal, and Horace Greeley of the New York Tribune, both of which editors and journals are now en deavoring to show by a similar train of reasoning, that the[Van Rensselaer family have no right what- ever in’the ‘property which has been confirmed to them by the law of the land, and that they ought fn justice to relinguieh it to those who ere now Kes sisting the law. This then is the process which is gow going on in the formation of a new party. This new party of “ radicals” or ‘‘reformers,” oF whatever else they choose to call themselves, is one of the monstrous births which’ have sprung from the acts and teachings of such men as Greeley and Brisbane, during the last few years—and the loose morality of such politicians as Thurlow Weed and Goveraor Seward, who have attempted all sorts of schemes and intrigues, to disorganize— to debase—to degrade—and to demoralize the pub- lic mind. At the approaching election this new party in- tend to offer candidates for all offices from Con- gressional down to ward constable, we suppose.— They already calculate on from one thousand to two thousand votes in this city, and as they are busy organizing their forces in various counties in the State, and particularly in the neighborhood of Albany, we should not be surprised if this party should abstract five or six thousand votes from the whigs and locofocos, The abolitionists are in the tield threatening to carry off thirty thousand votes, and the “natives” also as many as they can cel- lect. With these three new parties then in the field, each collecting its forces, still greater doubt and uncertainty are cast in the probabilities of the result of the contest between Clay and Polk. But whatever its influence may be on the presidential election, no intelligent observer can fail to perceive that a most deplorable effect has already been pro- duced on the well-being and quiet of the working classes, by the pernicious doctrines propagated by visionary, weak, and inefficient men, such as Horace Greeley, Albert Brisbane, Thurlow Weed, and others of that ilk. Stras Wricur.—During the last week the whig papers have had a perfect carnival in discussing the character, history, reputation, and the very looks and dress of Silas Wright, the locofoco. According to their solemn statement and assevera- tions, Silas Wright, who had been eulogized by them but ene short month before, as one of the most talented and purest men in the country,is now loaded with every epithet of execration, and is re- presented as fit only for the penitentiary or State Prison. Even Mr. Van Buren was not a circum- stance to him asa scoundrel in the estimation of these journalists. The whig prints have thus had a perfect carnival in consequence of the nomination of Mr. Wright—or rather they have, like the very cannibals,been tearing their victim,limb from limb, and devouring him raw and bleeding, in the midst of their unhallowed orgies. Well, we suppose in a few days the nomination of Mr. Fillmore, by the whigs, will afford a similar carnival to the lscofocos. When they go to work, they cantear up character and destroy reputation just as well as their opponents. After that we shall review the whole ot the controversy and place these journals in their true light before the com- munity. As to Silas Wright himself, there can be no doubt that he is, as all intelligent and just men of all parties believe, one of the purest public men ever nominated to any office. How could it be otherwise when he refused the nomination to the Presidency—to the Vice Presidency—toa seat on the bench of the Supreme Court—and only accept- ed that to the gubernatorial chair when it was thrust upon him and he could not refuse it any longer?’ And such is his simplicity of character, that when General Macomb visited him at his little farm in Canton, St. Lawrence county, he found him with his coat off, wheeling some po- tatoes, raised by his own hands, to their winter store-house. This was his occupation just before he took up his line of march to perform the duties of an American Senator. Here was, indeed, a modern Cincinnatus of the true stamp. The Gene- ral did’at say whether he tasted some of Mr. Wright’s boiled potatoes, but we have no doubt they were first rate. But for the scene see the ent in the weekly paper. Dr. Ports’ Cuvrcu.—This edifice, commenced last spring, is situated near University Place, in which vicinity there ave, perhaps, more places of worship than in any other district of an equal ex- tent in the city. It will afford accommodation tor about twelve hundred persons comfortably; but on taking a survey of the exterior building its capacity would be estimated higher by the observer. It is in the form of a Cross. The short arm will con- sist of a large apartment about ninety feet long, and thirty wide, which is to serve as a lecture room. The appropriation of such a large section of the church to another purpose accounts for the difference between the real and apparent accom- modation it is capable of affording. At the ex. tremity of the long arm is placed the main en trance, on entering which, and crossing the spa- cious vestibule, a row of Gothic pillars on either hand meet the eye, sustaining the ample side gal- leries. In length, the main body of the church is ninety feet—in breadth, seventy-five. The dimen- sions of the windows are eighteen feet four inches; the main chancel window will have a height of thirty-three feet and a main opening of twenty feet six inches. The style is the ornamental Gothic— the architect, Mr. Upjoha. Although there are a large number of workmen employed diligently from day to day in carrying forward the structure, the progress does not seem rapid; from which it may be inferred that peculiar pains are taken to impart solidity and durability to the work. When fioish- ed, this church will ornament that part of the city 4n which it is situated, yet perhaps to a less extent than it should, if the view were not obstructed by other buildings now being erected around it and in close contact with it. Grace Church, in Broadway, is in the same stage of progress, and in style also Gothic. It does not cover quite so large a surface, and the number of persons to whom sittings will be afforded, a little less. At the corner of Sth avenue and ith street, there is another sacred edifice arising rapidly, of large extent, and intended for Dr. Phillips. As far as it has proceeded, the work in this case, as well as the materials, are massive and durable. There is not much difference between the size of this building and that of the others above spoken of, and the style is also Gothic, but, in its details, presenting a slight departure from them. All these new churches are within a short distance of each other; their united presence will add much to the decoration of the district in which they are situated. Maine Evxcrion.—The accounts received last nighi do not vary the general prospect of the result which we have already given—but we forbear giving further particulars till we get the full vote. The victory is with the locotocog, to an extent not anticipated by any party. What has caused this strange change in public opinion, we shall investi- gate anon. Inthe mean time, if the whigs intend to elect Henry Clay, they must pull off their coats— roll up their sleeves, and go to hard work. Itis no holiday job to contend with the locofocos as now fired up. Mirirary Movements.—The Brooklyn Light Guards have it in contemplation, as we are inform- ed, to pay a visit to their friends, the Lafayette Guards of Newark, on the 30th inst. They will march through this city at seven o’clock, P. M., on their way, and take the first train of cars for Newark. Capt. C. H. Pearson is the Comman- dant of the B. L. G; Lieuts. C, B. Blamer and Lefierty; Qr. Master Clem. The officers of the Lafayette Guards are as follows: Copt. Pearson ; a Douglass and Pearson; Qr. Master Wood- raff. Lectvar on Hynroratiy.—Dr. Shew will take up the subject of the cold water cure this evening at Clinton Hall. Sundry works on the hydropathic system have been written by this gentleman, and ho better opportunity than this could oceur of be- coming familiar with the principles of this new mode of restoring and preserving health Rastoration oy rux Jews.—M. M. Noan IN Morton.—We perceive that M. Noah is again tn motion in relation to the restoration of the Jews. According to one of the daily papera, he proposes to deliver an oration m a few days at the Taberna- cle, on the subject of the restoration of the people of God to their own country, the land of Judea. ‘This is a very fertile, very poetic, and very interest- ing subject, and we have so doubt that M. Noah’s oration will attract a great deal of attention. It will be recollected that some fifteen years ago, M. Noah commenced a similar effort on the beautiful green sward of Grand Island, in this State, when he set up for chief prophet, priest, and king of the ancient people.” On that occasion he 18- sued an ukase calling on all members of the tribes to forward to him a shekel of silver as soon as pos- sible, but we believe very few responded to the mandate. On the present occasion, we presume, that he will be satisfied with a quarter of a dollar at the door of the Tabernacle. At all events, the movement is highly interesting and exceedingly philanthropic, having for its object the deliverance of the “chosen people” from their worldly traffic with the Gentiles—their sweating of gold and silver —their buying and selling of old clothes—and all sorts of merchandize—and their restoration to the patrimonial acresfof the goodly land, which, it would appear, they have, to a great, extent, lost sight of in this latter day. CoMMENCEMENT or THE PoxiticaL Riots.--We see by the party papers that the political riots com- menced in this city, by an encounter the other evening between the Knickerbocker Clay Club, which meets in a public house on one side of the Park Theatre, and the Empire Locofoco Club which meets in another public house on the other side of the theatre. Both clubs are composed of the rowdiesand fag-ends of the respective parties— all highly respectable in their way, and probably most capital at milling matches up the river or down at Staten Island. They have now, however, it seems taken to politics and had a regular set-to the other evening. According'to the best accounts, both parties got well beaten, and we trust that they will go and thrash each other well from stem to, stern. We have no doubt that all the respectable portion of the community highly approve of their conduct in this particular, and if the Knickerbock- ers and the Imperialists would only meet in the Park and belabor each other for a whole evening, the decent population of she city would clap their hands and cry out—‘‘ Well done—encore !” Movement In Retation To Crry Taxation—We perceive thata writer in the Journal of Commerce takes the same view as has been taken by us with respect to the enormous increase of city taxation, and beinga practica) man,accompanies hisremarks with a practical scheme for their reduction. He calls on all who have been insulted and deceived by the new corporation to hold a public meeting and adopt decisive measures in opposition to the proposed increase of texes. We second this most heartily, and trust that all those who have been laboring under the oppressive impositions of the gas companies will unite in this movement and endea- vor to obtain redrees at the only proper tribunal— the polls. bain tonne Personal Movements.

Arrecting Letrer.—The following is a letter written by Mrs. Stone, on the death of her hus- band, the late Colonel Stone :— Sanatoca Srrinas, Aug. 30, 1844. Ganarovs Crank, Esq. Dear Sir—I have the honor to acknowledge your com- munication of the 2Ist, together with the list of the reso- lutions passed by the Board of Education on the occasion of my husband’s death. 1 beg you to accept my warmest thanks for the same, and be assured that both from the source they emanate and the sentiments they express they are peculiarly grateful to my feelings. : * * . . ’ . . . To'the last, he spoke’ with the kindest interest of his as- sociates in the Board of FE lucation; and wished verymuch to dictate a farewell letter to them, giving them his views on one or two topics which he thought important. J entreated him to spare himself. Indeed, to the last I hoped he might recover, und would not endure that he should make the Jeast effort, for fear it might injure him. Ma two or three times spoke to my brother Dr. Wayland, ce Brown University,) who was with us, to the same ef- fect, and he for the same reason declined being his amanu- ensis, He suffered greatly during his illness, phys! ally and mentally. His mental depression was doubtl 6 re- sult of his disease, Butthe sense which he had of his unworthiness, and the depth of his humility, were most touching He wes ht not ustantly praying that hould be no mistake—that his repentance might be genuine. ‘‘Oh,” he would say in aay offall his mental distress, it be my Heavenly Father's discipline to fit me for heaven, and T may have the very lowest place at his footstool, I shall rejoice in it all.” Although, as you know, he never allowed himeeli leisure or recreation, and was constantly endeavoring to help forward every good cause, he seemed to feel as it he haddone nothing. He judged himself and his motives 80 severely, One day, he said, ‘I may go suddenly, and not be able to say any thing to bear testimony to my belief.” He then repeated in a hig 3 andible and impressive manner the creed as it is in the book of Common Prayer—adding, “should my impression be realized, remember this m: dying testimony--this 1 solemnly believe” He had hie reason till the last, though he dropped away very sudden- ly and unexpectedly to ua all, But at the closing struggle, a beamof heavenlyflight overspread all his fea- tures, and the expression upon his face was that of unal- terable—unutterable happiness. There was also an e: pression of holy triumph, which seemed to say, ‘1 ha escaped the tempter forever.” Tt was my privilege to attend upon him till the last. Of course my nervous system is much affected for want of rest—and I have been obliged to refrain from writing, and keep as quiet aa poxsible.

Inone case, a previously trust-worthy and honest young man, in mercantile life, was sent to this city to collect debts due the firm. He pro- cured eighteen hundred dollars; was watched by the craft andentrapped. The money was lost, ani his reputation only saved by his father sending hira acheck for the amount. In another instance he was acquainted with a young man, who had eucha propensity for t peeilins as to stake and lose the 3 ebEae shirt on his back ; whilst another occurred in his own saloon, where an unsophisticated individual from the country was fleeced of a large sum, which would have been considerably more but for his (the speaker’s) intervention, who informed the victim next day that he had been robbed out of the check he had given for several hundred dol- lars, and counselled him not to pay it. ‘An officer of the army he also knew, who had retired an invalid, on an annual income.

This appeared to take some of the members of the former club by surprise—they could not believe but that it must be a honx,as there had been no communication to this effect received by their Secretary, and were for treating it accordingly. It is certainly for them to consider how far it will go to maintain their character as cricketers and gentlemen, to re- fuse the acceptance of a challenge through the public press, when they themselves adopted the same means to give it.

The unfortunate per. sons were immediatuly carried into the house upon thy draw wharf, and, almost miraculous to relate, the mother andchild were unhurt, and the father escaped with a slight effusion of blood from the nore only. Thelr escape may be attributed to the fact, that the person who was to hoist the portion of the draw on the Charlestown side dit not commence hoisting so scon as his companion upon the Boston side, whilst the latter, seeing the vehicle ap- proaching at a furions rate, fortunately ceased hoistiny and commenced Jowering, and thus reduced the perpen- dicular descent to about 4 or 5 feet; sufficient however to break the tongue of the vehicle, and separate the forward from the hindmost wheels Transcript, Sept. 9 Court Calendar—This Day.
