NEW YORK HERAL San day, September 16, 1944, The Temperance Moveme and Its Antago= mists, Tae great moral movei.ent which originated with the eix reformed drunxards of Baltimore, is one of the most remarkable features of the present age. There has seldom been afforded a more strikiog illustration of the intlueoce and power of as- sociated human effort for the ettainment of a noble end. That for which the isolated efforts of the moralist, the philosopher, the poet and the divine, had been in vain expended from one generation to another, has been accomplished by that simple in- strumentality—the “Temperance Society”—pub- lic opinion has been awakened to the evils of in- temperance, und dram-driokiag is no longer re- speetable. From thousands of happy dwellings, every sort of intoxicating liquor has been banished for ever. Multitudes of the inebriate have been reformed and saved. A secure asylum has been provided for the youthof the land, and a!l who would flee the fatal faciaaticns of the wine-cup.— ‘The great and important truth that alcohol is not at all necessary, but is on the contrary in the great majority of instances highly pernicioue, hae been established beyond the possibility of cavil. Sulit it is lamentable to reflect that the salutary results of the temperance reformation have fallen far short of what its intelligent frieads anticipated. Notwithstanding ail the zealous, well-devised, con- stant, and universal effurt which has been put forth to extend its inflaence and increase its triumphs, the melancholly admission must be made that this great moral agency has, es yet, failed te accom- plish any thing like the amount of good which even the least sanguiue ‘might reasouably have expected. What is the cause of this comparative failure 1— Why is it that the successes of the temperance re- formation have been so few and so evanescent in comparison with what they might have been sup- posed to be, when the power of the instrumentality employed is taken into account? For, surely, an effort in which the endeavors of a vast majority of he wise and good of the land, of all ranks and classes, are uni ed, must necessarily be possessed of @ great power and a mighty influence. The ob- stacles which can check the progress of a cause thus sustained, must indeed be solid and have their foundations broad and deep. Let us see if we can ascertain where and what some of these are:— Weil, then, if we are asked where is the great antagonism tothe temperance movemet t,we answer it is in the corrupt, demoralizing, and, alas! all- powerful influence of political partizanship. It is in a debased and unscrup.'°us party epirit, which never hesitates to employ 1, vilest and most de- grading means to control the p.pular mind. It is in the political clubs—in the “Clay Clubs”—and the ‘ Hickory Clubs”—the ‘ Kaickerbockers”— jhe ‘‘Empires”’—all those demoralizing associa- tions of men, into which the most worthless of the community most readily fiad admittance. One short political campaign of three months does more to demoralize the masses—to spread intemperance and debauchery, than all the efforts of the friends of temperance can do in three years to counteract its mischievous agency. Just let us look back to the frighttul demoraliza- tion which accompanied and followed the Harrison campaign. That political canvass was, from begin- ning to end, one mad scene of intemperance and debauchery. And after the land had just become partially cleansed from the vile results of that drunken saturnalia, we find the peogle again in the midst of similar orgies. Around every ash and hickory pole—at every cross road—at every tavern door—in all the club houses in the cities and towns, freemen are disgracing themselves and the sacred institutions of the country by the grossest intem- perance. Drinking, betting, swearing, shouting, fightiag—openly and madly biddi.g defiance to all the laws of decencyand mors!‘ty—the great masses of the people are found asset. fg a!loverthe coun- try, goaded on in this sad cv. er of degradation by corrupt and worthless dem zogues, who, like the foul reptilesthat riot on the dead, find their con- genial home in the grave of a nation’s peace and virtue. What patriot is there who is not over- whelmed with grief ashe beholds such a spectacle 1 ‘What friend of freedom is there who does not shed the burning tears of shame and sorrow as he looks on such wide-spread desolation of all that is pure, and lovely, and of good report amongst the pecple ? Can there be no end to all this? Is there no remedy? Must the land, every fourth year, be thus given up to intemperance and debauchery 1— Are all the blooming hopesof the friends of virtue and the welfare of this free land, to be thusperiod- ically blasted by the withering breath of faction? We call on all the respectable and virtuous men in the ranks of both parties to come ferth and make a resolute effort against the progress of this intem- perance and debauchery. Let them come forth and separate between the living and the dead, co that the plague may be stayed. Let the pure- minded, the moral, the virtuous, the respectable por- tion of both the great political parties make an uni- ted, vigorous effort to stem the torrent of demorali- zation which now threatens to cover the whole land with ruin. So long as they remain passive spectators, shame and guilt rest on their heads.— We shall see whether they will suffer this appeal to pass unheeded. Berrino on THE Exvgction.—Singularly enough. the decline in the gambling in stocks, in Wall street, may be attributed to the increase of a more profitable business—betting on the result of the elections the Presidential contest. This 1s now the great business transacted in Wal! street. Every little groupe of brokers which you approach will be found busily engaged in discussing bets onthe election. ‘Seventy-five to fifty onthe resu't in New Jersey!” ‘Two to one that Clay har two thousand majority in Jersey ” ‘A hundred to seventy-five that Wright carries'the State!” These and ienumerable similar bets are offered and ac cepted at every corner inWall street—in the stores down town, and in the brokers’ cflices. One great difficulty with this species of gambling in Wall street 13, that the brokers have no money to stake —it is trae they deposite their checks, but thatis o little importance. This betting on the election has also monopolized all the attentiop of the gamblers in Barclay street and Park Row. ‘Ihe faro tables are almost de- serted, and w.th roulette it is the same. Here the great difficulty is to fiad honest men with whom to deposite the stakes. The other day we saw Jim Grant, our barber in Ann street, with hie pockets filled with money staked on the result of tie election. Thisis the best compliment to Jim’s honesty that we have yet heard. On! Fie'—The Rev. David Hale, the General- in-Chief of the Presbyterian Jesuits, is very much hurt, it appears, because we refused to pay a claim of $17 presented to us, which we did not beliew was justly and properly due. He needw’t give him: self any uneasiness about our integrity or honesty —all that is too well known. He had betteratteno to his own affairs and look to the manner in which he treats his printers and others, and the wages he pays them, The impudence of this Jesuit is amus- ing. Native Movements.—We perceive by the movements of the “natives,” at their Convention in Utica, that theres a possibility of their nomi nating a ticket for Governor. This will be a very singular movement, if it should take place. I! wou'd show the strength cf the “natives” in the country to the satisfaction of everybody, and might also have a very important influence on the result of the State electios Da.

One of the members, a Mr. Briggs, presented a resolution declaring the at- tachment of the Convention to the cause of annex- ation, but this was violently resisted by others, and after a scene of confusion, the resolution was withdrawn, This only shows that this Texas question is des- tined to be one of the mightiest elements of agita- tion ever introduced into this country, It has al- ready torn up the foundations almost of the demo- cratic party in the north, and completely prostrated Mr. Van Buren and all associated with him. It has also arrayed Mr. Webster and Mr. Clay in op- position to each other. It has set the abolition party again on their own legs, and is undoubtedly going to produce a terrible havoc during the next yeur, in connection with abolition and slavery. Jurors.—The extreme difficulty of procuring the attendance of jurors and witne ses in the City Courts, is a matter which must arrest the attention of the authorities, as it has caused considerable expense and inconvenience to suitors in the Courts, and protrac'ed the trials a good deal. In the Su- perior Court, in particular, this evil has operated most injuriously to the interests of the suitors, and has delayed several cases thar had been set down for trial. The hint given to delinquent witnesses, by Judge Vanderpoel on Friday, who stated “tha in all cases where it could be shown satisfactorily that, witnesses absented themselves without suffi- cient cause, they could be held responsible to the full amount of the injury such absence may cause to the parties iu the suit, as well as be held liable to a penalty by the Court,” should have the desired effect; and we apprehend a few examples would insure proper punctuality so as to abate the evil.— [n the Common Pleas, some days during its re- cess, the Chambere were crowded with delinquent jurors,who were all compelled to pay their tinea. Personal Movements. Rev. Adam Miller, Methodist missionary, was assaulted by a man named Francis Shad, while preaching at Feli’s Point, on Sunday last, Le Roy Sutherland, Professor of Patnetism, is leciuring in Bangor.

Mr. MeMicwasu’s Minstrecsy.—Musie and merit have ever been appreciated in this country— ad it was evidenced by the attendance on this gen- tleman’s evening displays during the past week.

E. Sietles, Esq. and others, after which a great number of new members were admitted, and the meeting was ad- journed over to Tuesday evening next. This pro- mises to be one of the largest democratic clubs in the city, and from the names of the parties already entered, of the highest influence and respectability, there can be but little doubt but the whig party will have considerable to do to counteract its influ- ence—in the Second Ward, in particular. At the meeting last evening, Messrs. H. L. Glen, Wm. F Smythe, and Geo Niven, jr, were ap- pointed delegates to attend a General Convention of Associations, which will be held at Tammany Hull on Tuesday evening next. James Conner, Exq., Dr. James Alex.

Lyne is to deliver some of his most celebrated sacred readings Biographical Notice of Leopold de Meyer Pianlste to the Kiwperor of Austria, Leopold de Meyer was bora at Vienua on the 20th of December, 1816. His father was State Counseller at the Austriaa Court. From an early age unul he reached his seventeenth year he pro- secuted his studies at the University of Vienna, but his father dying about that time, and other mis fort befailing him, he was compelled to leave his studies ut the university and follow some pro- fession which would bring him immediate and honorable support. Certain circumstances com- bined to render music, of all professions, the one which would guide Is choice. He was an excel- lent smateur player on the pianoforte, and had played in several private salons and at conceris with the greatest enthusiasm. His Majesty, the Emperor of Austria, having heard that a young man, whose father was attached to the Crown had obtained, as an amateur, an extraerdinary success in the drawing-rooms of the aristocracy of Vienna, expressed a desire to hear him, and irom this time and circumstance we may date the brilliant career ot the future great artis'. For nearly two yeurs he applied himself to study and practice with the most tudefangable zeal and industry under Fraucois Schubert, Tischof, Professor of the Congervatoir. of Vienna, and Czerpy; and before he was nineteen yeurs of age he determined to travel and endeavor to make amends for aisappointment at home by successes in other lands. | His first journey was made to Bucharest, the capitalof Wallachia, where his eldest brother was physician to the reigniog Prince. Ia this city he gave two concerts, and the success he obtained was a fair beginuing to all his future greatness. These concerts were given un- der the immediate patronage of the Prince, who had already heard himat Vienna, From Bucharest he proceeded to Jassy, the capital of Moldavia He was bearer of a letter to the Prince of-this place, who received him into his favor and patroaiaed two concerts which the young pianiet gave, Inthe December of this year, 1835, M. de Meyer went to Odessa On the day of his arrival at this place, at the request of Priace Nicolas Galitzini, he played ata concert given for the benefit ot the poor, to which Madame the Countess Woronzow, wife of the Governor-General ot Little Russia, lent her val- uable assistance. The reception which M. deMey- er met with at this concert determined him to give one atthe theatre; and nosooner had he announced his determination than every seat in the house was taken. The receipts resulting from this perform. ance amounted to no less a sum than five thousand rubles. He gave a second concert in the Hall of the Bourse with the like success. It was during his sojourn here he became acquainted with the Count Witte, General-in-Chiet of the Russian Cavalry, witn whom he undertook his next and most important journey from Odessa to St Peters- burgh. Thisacquisition wasof great service tothe youthful artist in the Russian capital. Some days after his arrival at St. Petersburgh, the Count Witte having the honor to dine with their Impe- tial Majesties, related that he had journeyed from Odessa with a young pianist of extraordinary merit, whereupon the Empress instantly despatched one of her coaches for M. de Meyer, determiaed on hearing him that same evening at the court. He played his fantasiastrom “Sonnambula” and “Anna Bolena,” which produced the most lively effect.— The Empress, atter hearing the first morceau, rose from her seat, and, approaching the piano, remain- ed standing behind the chair during the whole per- formance, uttering aloud frequent demonstations of surprise and delight. A short time afterwards he gave a grand concert at the Theatre Royal, which realized thirteen thousand rubles. The whole of the Royal Family were present, together with :he Prince Royal of Prussia, and the éitte of the Rua sian nobility. During the concert his Majesty sent for M. de Meyer, and engaged him to lend his assistance at a concert which was to be held a few days afterwards in honor of the visit of the Prince Royal of Prussia. After this concert M. de Meyer received from their K oyal Highnesses, the Emperor and Empress, testimoniats the most flattering for an artiste; for at the same time that he was presented with a diamond ring he received the nomination of pianiste to the Russian court, and was made hon- orary member ot the Philharmome Society of St. Petersburgh. He was alsoengaged, in conjunction with the celebrated violist, Polonjas Lipinski, to play at the J about to be held on the occasion of the grand military encampment which the Em- peror ordered at Vosnesensk. After his successes here he departed for Moscow, where his reputation preceded him, and where the enthusiasm he excited was no whit less than at St. Petersburgh. He trav- elled still some time in Russia before he resolved to visit Turkey. He proceeded to Wallachia once more, and from thence, in compeny with the Prince, and under his protection, he set out tor Constantino- ple. Here he remained tor the space of three months at the house of his Excellency, the English Amb.s sador, Sir Stratford Canning, who procured him the honor of an introduction to the Sultan. The Sultan after leaving him covered him with marks of his munificence, among which we may mention a superb snuff-box set in brilliants. From Con- stantinople M. de Meyer returned to his native town, giving concerts en route, at which he receiv- ed the most flattering applauses from all classes — Arrived at Vienna, he gave seven concerts, at the greater number of which the court were present, and his reception at each was ot the most enthu- viastic kind, It was while remaining here he was appointed pianiste to the Emperor of Austria, avo made honorary member of the Conservatoire of Vienna. He has since appeared in other parts of the Continent, and this year visited England for the first ume, ‘: ‘ _ [cis a task of super rogation to offer his eulo gium here, His success in London, where he has met the first pianists in the wold, hus been as great asei herin Peter-hurghor Vieonu. Asa performer he ranks among the very first; asa composer hic works have the merit of being et the same time musician-like and attractive. M. Leopold de Mey- er will be a most welcome visitant to London next season.—London Marstro of July 27. Important From Texas.—We take the follow- ing important paragraph from the New Orleans Balletin ot the 5th inst.:— The Alexandria (Red River) Republican of last Saturday, says:—‘*We understaud that a courier extraordinary arrived at Fort Jesup on Wednesday, with a communication trom President Houston to the commander of that post. It was deemed sufficient imporiance to be forwarded to Washing. ton by express. The nature of the communication we did not learn.” ‘This despatch, in all proba bility, relates to the threatened Mexican invasion of the territory of Texas.

About Temperance- By a Lady. Having attended the first public meeting of the United"Brothers of Temperance, on last Wednes day evening, and having been both astenished and absorbed with that august and dazzling display ot benignity; and, having learned from the youthful and accomplished gentleman, who, with such ele- gance of diction, simplicity of thought, and pathos of sentiment, explained the objects and advantager ot the order—that Jove was the girdle that bound them as a society, and that sympathy, as the result, interested them iu the welfare of others, and in the rescue of the unfortunate mebriate, and compelled them both to teke part in his sufferings, anc prot tly and adequately to relieve them, and also to aflord comfort tw his no less untortunate family;. my feelings, though they cannot be adequately de scribed, were most peculiarly and powerfully inte- rested.

The Association of the United Sisters 01 Temperance, auxiliary, us [ suppose, to the United Brothers, founded on the best of principles, and di cected to the noblest ends, is an object both lovely and ji Sympathizing humanity i+ always amiable, but peculiarly when invested with the charms of female loveliness And may this association of disinterested females, this as semblage composed of the mothers of Israel ano daughters of the church, of individuals of different habits and sentiments, ever harmoniously co-ope- tate for the relief of human wretchednees, and their own matual benefit. May their influence ever be like the influence of the morning; aad on their heads, may miserable sufferers, delivered from their wretchedness, and made happy by their bounty, heap their blessings. We are hapoy to learn, that Mrs. James Harper, the lady of ou worthy Mayor, isthe financial secretary of thisas -ociation—a lady, whose life isone of practica! benevolence, and of whom it may be said with truth, she goes about doing good; and we may als: be peymitted to say, that the course pursued by th relatives ot that dy is of a similar complexion, and that all their efforts and their labors speak # similar language. . ‘Tue Murpgr Case.—We mentioned yesterday the killing of a negro man by Elijah Peacock.— Chis individual engphigh Std ‘at the last term of Bulti more County Court, of ling a watch, the property of agentleman in Baltimore County, with which crime he was charged. in connection with a female named Rosanna Herbert, or Hubbard, the latter having been tried at the same term and found guilty.

Bensett— It is a long spell, as we say in these diggins, since Thave seen anything in your truly valuable and in- dependent paper about old Orange. I can’t under- stand the reason of this, for [ assure you we area very interesting people, but particularly so just be- tore our election. We have had the usual agsort- ment of accidents and incidents by field and flood, and a letter might be furnished you once a week from these parts, that would be highly interesting and edifying to your readers on both sides of the globe. This is a great country, and Orange County in particular is a great county, for even Mr. Greeley exclaims “that Orange County is worth living in, afterall.” After this, let no dog wag hia tongue at us All the world knows we rank No, 1 as butter makers, and we acknowledge no superior in any- thing else. Your city people moy think us rude and vulgar, but they are misled by their ignorance Why, Newburgh, to which place I carry my butier and eggs, is a sort of littie New York, in style, fashion and fourish, Two or three weddings have come off there this summer among the nubobs, that | aus told takes the shine off anything that has ever occurred in York State-—every thing was imported from your. city, fiddlers, hair dressers, uigger waiters, dc. &e. As one of them, [ am told, they had nothing for supper but some queer stuff they called b/ue mondge; perhaps you know what it is, put Idou’t At our weddings in the country we have some blue ruin, egg nog, and tn- aocent refreshments of that sort, and matters ge- nerally go off quietly aud orderly, but in the case spoken of they had a regular fight, a knock down and drag out, from whieh J infer that this blue stuff is dangerous to people not used to taking it. : I suppose it will be necegsary to say something as to the state of political parties in this region. J had beguiled myself with the idea that we should not have much of a hubbub this fall. But alas, m mistake! The neighbors kept pretty shady till haying and harvesting was over, but then the way they went in‘o politics wasa perfect caution.— Such riding and roystering, such speech making and staging, such huzzaing and hurraing, is a per- teet scand.{ toaciv:'ized people. And pray what isitall for? Idon’t trouble my head as to the claims of parties; and the idea of diving into d-pths profound, to discover why our produce 18 so low, while everything the farmer wants to buy is sv shocking dear, is more than am willing to under- take. TI hope I shall have enough to eat, and mo- ney sufficient to pay the tax-gatherer end school- master, without this trouble. But somehow or other, my neighbors have sucked in the notion that itis all owing to the high tariff, as they call it, and a or wrong, this will play the deuce with the whigs orlam no prophet. Indeed, they are aow as scarce as white mice. An evidence of which is, that in the school district :n which I live, where there are forty-seven voters, there are bur two whigs. Hickory poles are sticking up in every direction, with all sorts of mottoes appended to them—all plainly showing which way the winu blows, Meetings are held every might (Sundaye »xcepted, and a tight squeeze at that,) in some sec tions of our neighborhood. At the commencemen: Jo. Hokey or Howxey, the whig hand organ, as they call him, and friend Greeley came up and tried to make head egainst the terrent, but it was no go, and the whigs seem to have given us over, like Ephraim of old. ‘The democrats now have it all their own way, and the style in which they go it is a perfect caution, The mania has at tength become general, having seized upon men, women and children. All business is at a stand still, except politics, the men riding about, elec- tioneering and attending mass meetings, us they call them; and the women having cast household duties to the moles and bats, have taken to making flags and banners with mottoes of all descriptions and styles. **Polk and Dallas”—* Oregon and Texas”—‘‘ Wright_and Gardiner”’—* Equal Pro- tection to all”—‘* Excinsive privileges for none” — “The Constitution as it is’—‘Free Trade and Farmers’ Rights”—“ No U.

Conversion or a Juw.—A very pleasing incident has been related to us concerning the conversion of a Jew tothe Christian faith, The name of the convert is Israel Bootrood. He is a young manof pleasing manner and apparently five talents, a native of London, England, where his parents and other relatives reside. He has been in thie country but a short time. Before he leit home, hia grandfather, who is a Jewish high priest, enjoined upon him in the moat mn manner, never to read the New ‘Testament, or believing in Jesus of Nazareth as the Messiah At Liverpool he became ecquainted with a Christian lady who took an interest in his welfare, and urged upon him to read the New Testament. He refused; ut she without his knowledge, placed the forbidden book in his trunk. Finding it on shipboard, he could not re- strain his curiosity, and read it through twice carefullyn bat ae regarded it as fictitious, and its divine author a atmior. flow he came into this region we did not learn, but last week he went to acamp meeting of the Methodist Epir- copal Church, near Beaveryand while attending in a Tist- less manner to the preaching of ie ee his mind was suddenly arrested by the worda of the preacher, and he began to inquire in his own mind, “what if ail this is true?” His feelings became so excited that he at- ir eg to leave the ground, but on second thought con- cluded it was not fair to reject tie testimony of the preacher without a hearing. He returned and listun- ed, ond otter the discourse was over retired to the woode under great agitation of mind, and began to pra: to the God of Abraham and Isauc and Jacob—the God of his fathers—to show him whether the Shiloh ha and whether Jesus Christ was the Messiah His a y increased, he returned to the meeting, and earnestly sought salvation in the name of Jesus Chrict, as the only true Measiah, who had already come into the werld. His petition was attended with success. He found in believing. His exclamations, on being enabled fully to confi te in a crucified and risen Savior, were “the Shiloh has come! the Shiloh has come!” On Monday lust he at- tended a Methodist Camp Ve ting, nearthiscity, and took upon himself the profess on of chnstianityin the ordinance ot baptiam. Previous to the ceremony, in the presence of the assembled congr ion, he gave an account of his early life and Christan experience, and in a most affecting manner professed his faith in Christ, and when the holy rite was performed in the name of the adorable and ever Messed Trinity, his joy was «o great in he con- fident belief and trust in a Messiah already come, that he sunk to the ground under overpowering emotions. His parents are said to be very respectable and wealthy, and it is supposed that hia profession of Christianity will seriously affect his future worldly prospects.
