NEW ¥ jew York, onday, September 23, 1944. ‘The Great Crisis in the Fortunes of the Whig Party—Vhe Taruing Polut of the Presiden. Mal Campalgn—Unprecede:. ted Excitement, Anxiety and Panic in the Whig Ranks. ‘The excitement and alarm in the whig ranks have increased one hundred fold in this city, and go far as we can learn throughout the country, since the extraordinary intelligence from the great meeting on Boston Common was communicated Thurlow Weed, and severa) leading officers of the Whig State Central Commitice, were here on Sa- turday last, and had a protracted interview and Consultation with the leaders of the party in this eity. The result wasa determinatoin to proceed at ull hagards with the new movement at the head of which Mr. Webster has at lust openly placed himself, by his declaration on Boston C mmon, on the 19h instant. A few days P<viously a meeting of the General Commitice was summoned, and after a great deal of cousulta- toa, it was resolved to cali a public meeting to which the abolitionists would be especially invited, and the determination of the committee to follow ‘up this movement with all possible energy and per- severance, wae formally made. Here is the call, as it appeared ia the columns of the organ of the Founerand Abolition secuion of the Whig party, the New York Tribwne : MASS MEETING. In Dimocaatico Waa Genewat, Committers, Sept 17th, 1944 Revolzed, That the Demonratic Whig Earvtors of the City and County of New York, and all others opposed to the Aunrxation of Texas, with its concomitant evils of @ National Dishonwr, and National War, industry against protection to 4 petition avd of Henry ( President. and elinghuysen for Vice Presiient of the United . he and they are hereby requested to assem mass at and in front of Nuional Hail Canal stre Tiurstay evening the 26h inst, at 6 o'clock, ‘or ti nee ot 6, oud-ng to the nominations ot the’ Demoe © jon at Syracuse, and adopting then 2 the Empire State where she ber dof the whig arm: .

By order of the Goneral Commitee oye aN BOWDITCH BLUNT, Chairman, J jomarnt Haws, Joturn't Pinsson,, ¢ Secretaries This singular call affords the best possible de- monstration of the eritical position into which the whig party has been reduced by the ignorance, fol- ly and obstinacy of its leaders here at the nerth, aud discovers in a very intelligible manner the alarm which pervades their ranks. The appeal is made directly to the abolitieniets—the **democra- tic whigelrctors, and all others opposed to the an- nexation of Texas,” being the term of the invita- tion to attend thismeeting, Whatan extraordina- ry spectacle is thus presented ut this moment inthe ranks of the whig party? Mr. Clay, the candidate of the party, stands before the Union, ‘ personally in favor of annexation,” whilst the great mass of hisadherents and supporters at the north are get- ting up immense mass meetings, to which the abo- Jirionists are specially and affectionately invited, and which are addressed by oraters who assail with every possible epithet of abuse and com demnation all who dare to raise their voice in favor of annexation. Such glaring disunion is, of course, producing its appropriate results. Pa- nic and gloomiest torebodings are every whrre 8 reading in the whig ranks whilst the abolition- ists ,spurning with characteristic and fanatical in- dignation the eflorts made to conciliate them, are loading the name of Henry Clay with anathemas, and in all quarters are exhibiting a degree oj energy and force at which even they themselves are astonished. As we have again and again insisted, the cause of Mr. ( lay has been brought to the very verge of ruin by the indiscreet, obstinate, and suicidal course adopted by his adherents at the North. The agitation of the question of slave- ry by John Quincy Adams and others in Congress, and the adoption of the same policy by their followers amongst the whigs throughout the f States—-lave, for the Inet few years, been add- ing so immensely to the numbers and determina- tion of the abolitionists, that that fanatical party have swollen from a petty faction into a compact, formidable and influential organization, capable, as we have seea, of swaying Stale elections, and ing with overwhelming defeat that very politi- party which has been so earnestly and perse- veringly wooing them to its embraces, and, like many other wooers, whose warmth and patience deserved better reward, only to ita own undoing We foresaw from the commencement of the present campaign, the fatal results to which the policy of the professed edvocates and frieads of Mr. Clay, in the tree States, would inevitably lead, Again and again, we have warned the whigs of the coming * storas, of whose approach the horizon was filled with so many dark and threateniog omens. But the passed unheeded. There were, in. deed, here aud there, a few imeitigent, reflecting and observant men in the whig ranks who were aware of the danger. They endeavored to avert it, But their voives were drowned jn the loud shoutiags of the foolish, the fanatical, the thought- less aad the designing. The fatal movement wen) ou, and the whig party have now reached the very crisis of their tate. Just let us look, for a moment, et the extraordi nary position into which the whig party have been breaght by Mr. Webster and his fellow-laborers in the whig cause. Oa the 27in of July last, Mr. warning Ciay addressed a letter to a number of his friends, who had desired, amongst other matiers, an €x- pression of his opinion on the subject of the an- nexation of Texas What did Mr. Clay then declure 2 {n the most pointed and emphatic terms he enuounced his friendly disposition with respee, t) (hat measore, and that the question of slavery had povtueg whatever to do with that question. But let us quote his own words, which have acquir- ed so much additional interest from a source hard- Jy woticipated by many :— Bur, gentlemen, you are desirous of knowing by what policy | would be guided, in the event of my election a» Magistrate of the Vaited States, in reference to the questiun of tae aonexauion of texas. T do not think it rogat tounnounce ia advance what will be the course of @ fuure @iniuitration im respect to @ question with « turengn power.

Mr. Clay,in that manly, frank, candid anc honorable manner, which geverally characteriger his declarations, informs his inquiring friends, auc through them, the people of the United States, thus #0 far as his own individual sentiments, feelings, and deliberately formed opinions are concerned he isin favor of the annexation of Texas—nay that he would rejoice to see that measure adopted Jt is utterly impossiole to give any other interpre tation to the Jinguage just quoted trom Mr. Clay’ letter of the 29 of July. There it stands, anc mast stand wat revoked by iis author, a distinci, clear and emphatic declaration in favor of the an nexation of Texas. and, besides, itis most im portant to mark the equally distinct aud emphatic negation by Mr. Clay of the connexion in any shape or form, of the slavery question with thet of Texas. In that one sentence, the great waig leader stamps, with merited contempt, ali the declamation and rhetorical flourish pu forth by silly whig orators and spouiers, | ' | ! | contest. And in this letter, from which we have and exables us to estigiate with great precision the | value which he, Mr. Glay, puts upon the efforts of | Mr. Webster, himself, to make the anti-slavery @uti-Texas question the great issue in the present quoted, Mr. Clay expresses only the sentiments'and | opinions, which were presented by him im the let- ter to his friends intended for publication in the National Intelligencer on his nomination by the Baltimdte Convention, but which was returned to him with a request to modify the passages relative to Texas. Let us now turn to the speech of Mr. Webster on Boston Common, which we give at length on the first page of this day’s paper. We there fiad Mr. Webster affirming that Mr. Clay is pledged to go against Texas, and that Mr. Clay holds as he, Mr. Webster holds ‘ unquestionably, that the an- nexation of Texas does tend, and will tend, and must tend to the existence and perpetuation of Afri- can slavery, and the tyranny of race over race on this contivent, and, therefore, he will not go for it.” And Mr. Webster goeson to argue against annuex- | ation, chiefly on the ground of its being equivalent to a perpetuation of slavery—employing the very | argument which Mr. Clay had so pvintedly con- demned and reprobated as inappropriate and inap- | plicable, and that, too, against a measure the adop- | tion of which Mr. Clay had said he “should be glad to see.” Now, what does all this mean 7 Its meau- ing ie, we think, very easily discovered. Mr Web- ster is only prosecuting bis original policy. He re- fers significantly avd proudly to the position he has maintained for “ seven years” on this subject. | He has no idea of moving one hair’s-breadth, al- though the fortunes of Mr. Clay should be involved | in destruction. There he, Daniel Webster, stands, | and from that position he commences the move- m-nt for the succession 10 1848. This is the mean- iug of this extraordinary speech— which is endorsed in the manifesto or address issued on the same oc- casion, and whieh will also be found on our first page. ‘Lhus early, does Mr. Webster commence hs position to Mr Clay, and the division in the whig | army is complete, Meanwhile the panic spreads. The abolitionists denouncing Mr Clay as ‘‘an incorrigible robber | and tyrant,” are working with almost superhuman activity. Their vote in this State will be enor- mously increased at the next election. We have seen how it has swollen in Maine So also it will be in this, and all the other free States. Already the wealthy whige are drawing their purse-strings, and the canvass is all but abandoned tothe violent, | ¢, the fanatical, the office-seckers, the Webster men, | aod the Fourierites Thus has a brilliant prospect been obscured. For at one period in this cam- paign, Mr. Clay’s chances did, indeed, appear most promising. And had the canvass for him been | conducted in the free States with discretion, judg- ment, and sincerity, his defeat weuld have been difficult—perhaps impossible to accomplish. Now, however, the scene is certainly changed, sadly for thy worse. This last ¢flort of Mr. Webster :nust ine evitably increase the lukewarmness, the oppressive and disheartening sense of disunion, the uncertain- ty and alarm which had before, unfortunately, begun to be manifested in the whig ranks What | may be done to avert the calamity now threatened | in #0 many quarters, we kuow not. We shall | “Twey are att Staves in Kyetann."—We have been not a little amused by the highly lauda tory remarks which have accompamed, in the whig journais, the report of that portion of Mr: Webster’s last speech, where he so indignantly pounced upon one of the-audience who called out, *They are all slaves in England!” Mr. Web- ster’s rhetorical flourish about English liberty, and the blessed condition of the masses in that coun- try, is extolled to the skies, and his sentiments most cordially re-echoed by prints which are inthe habit of pouring forth the bitterest anathemas against “ British tyranny,” the influence of “ Bri- tish gold,” and so on. But that is of small mo- ment. It is more important to notice the inconsis- tency into which Mr. Webster himself falls. In the paragraph just alluded to, as eliciting the most enthusiastic applause of the auaience and the whig journals, Mr. Webster represents England as asort of paradise—a perfect heaven of liberty and equality —hardly second, if second at all, to this country. | for the means of individual happiness and pros- perity, which it affords to all its inhabitante. By and by, when he comes to speak of the condition of the English laborer, he draws the picture of a “slave.” There, in that glorious land of liberty, where Mr. Webster had, but a moment before, so indignantly denied that slaves existed, he declares *the laborer is a degraded being, and not ele- vated to the rank of a freeman. He has no parti- cipation in the government under which he lives— he is a mere laborer; he lays up nothing beyond the support of his family for the day; he has no means of educating his children; he lives poor, and dies poor, and his children come after him with the same biography.’ ‘*Look on this picture and on that.” Mr. Webster’s high-flown eulogy on England sounds strangely enough coming from the lips of an American, The mao in the crowd spoke a sad truth, when he declared that ‘* they”—the masses —are all slaves in England.” Weighed down to the very earth by oppression and unequal laws, the poorer classes of that country are in a condition, compared with which that of the slaves of the south is perfect happiness. Just as a specimen of the sufferings of the masses in Great Britain—take the following heart-rending incident, which we find in @ late English paper—presenting only. one solitary item in the daily record of misery and privation to which the great body of ‘* the people” ‘are subjected :— “ On Monday last, 138 human beings, or twenty-three families, allowing to each, were cast houseless and iendless from their dwellings, wanderers on the world’s bleak common. On that day the sheriff, Mr. E Foley, with an escort of police und bai'ifls, proceeded to the Jands of Bally harahan and Glenmore, the property of Mr Atthur Usher Kelley, of Ballys eeartmors, in this county, to take possession of these lands under habeas for one year’s rent, due last September. Afier the sheriff turned the unfortunate people from their honses, it was a truly heart-rending sight to behold them, with their families, assembling in groups, lighting fires by the ditch-side to boil a few potatoes to satisfy the cravings of nature. The reater number of these howseless wauderers have since fodthelr lodgings on the cold ground” This is the state of the farm laborers. The fol- Jowing instance shows how the hapless working classes in the towns and cities fare. “An inquest was held on Friday, the 23d Instant, and closed on Monday. on the body of Eliza Kendall, aged 19, who drowned herselfin the Surry canal. Ivwppeared that the deceaved and her sister Jane, (who at the same time also had attempted suicide ) together with their father and otners of the family, had suffered extreme destitution. — The father stated that ‘they worked at slop shirts, but await with a great deal of curiosity and anxiety, the proceedicgs at the mass meeting on Thursday next. Whatit is contemplated to do on that occa- sion, we have not yet distinctly learned. But whatever form the movement may assume, then, it will influence, to agreat extent, the general pro- | gress of the remainder of the campaign through-, outthe north. One thing, at all events, is certain, we are now in the midst of the very crisis of the contest, and the tortunes of Henry Clay are trem- bling in the balance. Tue Panic.—The whig papersare full of all sorte of 1allying cries. Our repeated declarations ot the necessity of bringing out the full strength of the whigs at the polls, appear to be producing some ef- fect. As specimens of the tone adopted by the whig organs throughout the country, and in order to il- justrate the alarm which pervades the raaks of that party, we annex two rallying cries, the one from a Maine paper and the other from one of the lead- iug whig journals of this city :— {From the Portland (Me.) Advertiser.) ‘The other practical fault, bere, was the obvious one, that we did avt get out, by any means, the whole number coi jawiul whig voters, This isa great tuuit, anywhere, aod it 18 likely to occur at any time. But under the ci- cumstances of the present canvass, we ure limble to @ pe- culiur mistake—the mistake of trusting too much to pub- lic gatherings, mass meetings and preliminary shows of strength. We believe that every mass meeting held by whigs in Maine advanced our cause ; but we did not ly pertorm the other part of the business—to bring every Whig voter to the polls. The public meetings puc us offour guard. We forgot the whig voters who were uthome We thought too much of the voters who were out, and did not tuke ull the pains we shoula have done to bring eut those Whom business or inuttention had kept away {com the public gatherings, aud those who were tue doing, but yet Undecided, towards our cause, Whigs iy OLWer States are lavle to the same oversight.

It was not because they did not gen- erally dewre the success of the party, or any thing hike that, bat simply trom the omission of that pains taking, which ull experience suows 18 necessary with the beet of causes, and with the most patriotic of men.

His jast letter is devoted to the consideration of the merits of American kid gloves. Some worthy manutactnrer or other had sent Mr. Clay a dozen, which * Mrs. Clay” pronounced * a very superior article” and Mr. Clay informs we that ‘they appear to possess great sirength as well as neatness ;” and that he and his ami- able lady ‘‘were much struck with the beauty and exceilence of the stitching.” This is all very well. Mr. Clay has not, however, yet taken up any of the interesting topics of enquiry suggested by usa short time ugo. Since then, indeed, seve- ral new subjects have presented themselves—such as—the value of political friendshi), as demon- strated on Boston Common—which may probably now engrose Mr. Clay’s attention, to the exclusion of the less exciting questions which we submiued, Mr Henry Patuiuirs’ First Musican Enrer- ‘ratnment.—Mr. Phillips gives his first musical en- tertainment at the Apollo this evening, where he will be, asa matter of course, welcomed by one of the largest and most brilliant audiences ever collected in this city. The entertainment will con- sist of two acts,the first being devoted to anecdote, Trewiniscences, and songs of Dibdin. Mr. Phillips is probably the only living vocalist who can do ad- equate justice to the incomparable sea-songs ot Dib- din. Braham, in his palmy days, sung some of these immortal ballads with surpessing effect; but Mr. Phillips gives them with a pathos, spirit and bril- lianey quite indescribable and altogether irie- ristible. The second act will include a variety of sougs which are quite new to an American eudi- ence, and amongst them one by Dryden, which Siotes; and we have endeavored, ther to im fa upon them the absulute necessity of usi other nud more direct means of getting out our strengch and hiking Converts from the ranks of our opponents.

The Courier, it will be perceived, is very urgent wid earnest io its appeal, Its allusion to the pro- vable utility of imposing such penalties as “ fines sod imprisonment” on delinquent whig voters, is ather amusing. Even that, however, would in yur opinion, avail nothing, sejlong as such a miser ble, bungling, and discordant system of election- ering, as that adopted by the whigs in this cam- sign, ia adhered to.

Taz Gas Monopo.y —When will the arrange- ments be completed for a public meeting against the gas monopolies? It is time to be moving. The means of redress ure within the reach of those who sre subjected to the extortionate charges of these compantes,tand if they be neglected by any, they can never dare to complain hereafter. We have suflered from these monopolies too long. Let a re- solute effort be made, and the grievance will be redressed before six months, Farner Mitier.—This great modern prophet and apostle is again up and stirring.

Already a large number of sub- seribers, from amongst the fashionable and opulent classes, have entered their names, and we have no doubt that the list will be quite full before the sea- son opens. Madame Pico, the new prima donna, will, there.is every reason to anticipate, be a very great tavorite. Fler voice is a mezzo-soprano of very great power and sweetness, and her method is very excellent, the result of caretul study under the best masters. She possesses great personal at- tractions, and has much fascination of masner.

Halliday and Jenkins of Broadway, dispose of, by auction, a great amount of musical inetruments and music of every varie- y, among which will be found articles of the most hoice description, together with some scarce and valuable music.

The trial will be made under sail and steam combined, and each power separately. Great in- terest is felt by the commercial community in the result, as this is the first opportunity which has been afforded to test the relative merits of the two plans. Both vessels are of the same tonnage, spread an equal surface of canvass, have the same power, and differ only in the model of the hull, eto ot proven both ot which have been left en- tirely under the control of the projectors of the lans. f The “ Spencer” will be commanded by Captai Frazer, and the ‘ Legaré” by Captain Howard ; and in order to preveut forestalling public epinion, it has been determined to allow no person to be on board during this trial trip, except those in the employ of the government a After the trial trip is made, and an official report shull have been rendered by the proper officere, an opportunity will be ufforded to the commercial community, aud all who feel an interest in such watters, to witness their performance. 3 . tie sufficient to excite the risibulity of gravity itself, to peruse the puffs which are occasionally solicited by, and rendered to «fficers in every brauch of public service. Several which have a peared in the public prints lately, relating to offi- cersof the revenue service, can only find paraliel» in the advertisements of modern charlatans. It must appear evident to every reasonable man, that officers who require this kind of bolstering, must have but litde real merit of theirown, Should an officer perform any meritorious service, it is due not only to himself but to the government which eunoks him, that notice should be taken of it, but ihe puffs alluded to are calculated to humiliate the service generally, and to cause the officer of reul merit to blush for the weakness and vanity of his associates. Buurr. Great Foorracs over THE Bracon Cours, Ho- Boxen —Ia our advertising columns will be found the names of 36 persons whe have entered for this great undertaking to come off on the 14th of Octo- ber. It may be considered asa national contest, as some of the ablest pedestrians of the old coun- try have crossed the Atlantic for the express pur- pose of contending with the best of this country. The number entered is far beyond what was ex- pected, and there is little doubt but that the con- test will create great excitement, and the attend- ance on the occasion will be immense—much greater than on any former similar occurrence Major H. Stannard is the general favorite so far, but as there are several others entered whose prowess is highly spoken of, there is every reason to believe that he will not have such easy work as he has hitherto had if he does come offthe con- queror. The betting already is pretty brisk, the field the favorite. Some thousands, no doubt, will change hands on the occasion. Corrman’s Patent Bouian (on Orean) AT- TACHMENT TO THE Pianororte.—We have bren favored with an inspection of the contrivance de- signed for the purpose of converting a piano into an organ, and vice versa, at pleasure, entitled by thefpatentee, “The AEvlian, or Attachment to the Pianoforte, now on exhibition at Nuno’s Music Store, Broadway. It is certainly a very ingenious contrivance, and one that will meet with universal admiration and adoption. For simplicity of con- struction and beauty of adaptation, it certainly is unrivalled, and we have no doubt of its being adopted into general use. Every piawo in the country at a very trifling expense, may be changed into an organ, producing the most brilliant and ea- quisite tones, without aff-cting in the least degree its original character. This is a great desidera- tum, and will contribute more to the essential in- terest of the pupil in music than ix moath’s ordi- nary tuition on the piano. And in a short time we shall see the public mind seizing upon its merits with an avidity which shall astonish as well as prove the estimation in wkich the invention is held. Nisto’s Piant Sate.—We would say to our rea- cers, don’t torget the sale of plants at Niblo’s Gar- den, advertised in our columns, to take place this day at 11 o’clock. ‘The Olympic Lady, from Franconi’s, Paris, isto jump at the Circus this evening, for the first time.

Musicat.—Mr. Sloman, the father of the cele- brated Mies Jane Sloman, has arrived in Boston tor the purpose of giving a series of concerts, in order to introduce his two daughters, for the first time, to the public. It is said that these twoyuung Jadiez, now 16 and 17 years of age,are perfect mis- tresses of their art—one as a harp player, and the other as a piano performer—while they both excel as vocalists. Their father will assist in a Iccture of his own, giving reminiscences of Incledon, Bra- ham, &e., and interspersed with songs. Tue Kev. De. Wourr.—It appears but too proba- ble that Dr. Wolff has taken the place of those whom he went to rescue at Bokhara :—The last letter written ate Wo ff while at liberty, was written at Bok- tara, en the 16th ot April, before he entered thecity.

This novel work was accomplished on a lan furnished by Alderman Preston, @ member of the Committee fer widening streets, by Mr. Moses Parker, who is justly entitled to great credit for the entire success of this hew enterprise, The modus operandi was this:—Concave cast iron plates are prepared, the foundation efthe wall cut away, und two plots facing each other ins:rted w.th cannon halls between them. ‘These plates and bails being placed under all the walls, the whole ulin rests upon them. ‘Three screws are applied, and the whole building is ro). led upon them any desired distance. ‘These plates and balls are removed one by one, and the brick replaced and the building left in the ori state, without any injury to the structure. It is that this block weighed 700 tons, and was rolled on 120 balis, and accomplished, after the plates were set, in about two hours time.
