E\W YORK HERALD. New York, Tuesday, September 24, 1844. a NEXT ILLUSTRATED WEEKLY HERALD. THE GREAT WHIG MEETING IN CANAL STREET. MASS MEETING OF THE “NATIONAL REFORMERS.” The next illustrated Weekly Herald will contain full reports of the great movement of the whigs of this city, to take place on next Thursday afternoon, at National Hall, for the purpose of catching the abolitionists, with a magnificent engraving illustra- tive of the scene. Also, a full and graphic report of the extraordi- nary meeting of the ‘national reformers” at the foot of Canal street, this evening,with an engaving. These will be the great events of the week and are both of surpassing interest. New and Extraordinary Movement—The “National Keformers.” In this country of universal and unbounded free- dom of opinion, new movements are constantly taking place in philosophy, politics, and religion. Every year produces an abundant growth of ultra- iams of all descriptions, which attain varying degrees of longevity, and on their demise are quickly followed by other still more novel, bizarre, and counter to generally received principles and opinions, than those which preceded them. Fora few years past, the extravagant, and in many points whimsical views of Charles Fourier, have been industriously promulgated in this country, and have in many quarters obtained, amongst quite a considerable number of the community, a per- manent footing. In the work of propagating these novel doctrines, which strike at the very root of the present organization of society, the New York Tribune, as is well known, has taken a very active part. ‘his movement, to which the journal just alluded to, has been so largely deveted, has re- cently merged into another, of a more practical character, which aims at ihe overthrow of the present system, by which landed property is held, and claims for the people the unlimited right to occupy the public domains, without legislative in- terference orhindrance. The party holding these radical views, style themeselves ‘* National Re- formers,” and are rapidly progressing in numbers and influence. We have already given some sketch of this new movement, and we perceive that an opportunity is aflorded us this evening of obtaining a still more full and intelligible view of the principles and ob- jects of those who have started it, for, by an an- Nouucement in the organ of the ‘ National Re- formers,” we find that they will hold a great masa meeting at the foot of Canal street, this evening. Here is the call:— Mass Mexrine or Nationay Reronmens.—The mem- bers of the National Reiorm Association, und all who are in favor of the Freedom of tue Public Lands and of De- mocrauc Principles generally, are invited to meet at the foot of Canal street, N. R.,on Tuesday evening next, at 6o'clock, to hear Reports of the Naurnal Reform Nomi- uations in the several Congressional districts, and to take such actionin regard to th ng election as may be ned advisable, Several working men will address the ting. By order of the Central Committee, JOHN WINUT, Secretary. This will be a very singular meeting in many re- spects, and we shall give u full report of the pro- ceedings and speeches in to-morrow’s paper. Ta this movement the Fourierites, it appears, sin- cerely sympathize. Mr. Godwin and Mr. Macda- niels, two prominent philosophers ‘of the school of Fourier,” have given in their assent to the general principles of the ‘* National Reformers,” and it is highly probable that the two sects will soow forma union for the purpose of facilitating their operations for the regeneration of the human race, and the yighteous distribution of all landed property amongst he “industrial classes.” We annex some extracts fr om the letters of Messrs. Godwin and Macdaniels to the organ of the “ Reforme: I see inthe People’s Rights, of Saturday, an article headea * Fourierisin and Agratianism,” ow which I ask permission to make a few observations. It is a reply to some previous remarks made to the Phalang, and the re- joinder should properly come through that paper. But 1 vailed upon the able and accomplished writer of Mr 0. Macdaniels ) to allow me to make a and direct respouse than could be made in the regular course of the controversy. Ta the first p , let me say Unat 1 cannot ace with the explanation that both papers have made, that there is any great difference of opinion on th to land Fourier, aud his disespl tend for the right of the people to th ple is that the earth cannot be made the property of any one mao nor of any wet of men, but that it belongs to the whole human race, to whom it has been given tor cult. vation and embellishment, ‘The appropriation of the soil, ome six thousand ars OF More, bas been a gross Haurpation and acruel in , and which has spread a broad and deeply-reoted rae over (he whole of modern society. And one ot the first steps to be taken, thereiore, in restoring society to a true posiion, is to acquire again the Common posseasion of the soil So tar, then,as the“Agrarians” maintain the general right of the people te the soil, they have one sincere, heartlelt, anxious sympathy. [rejoice thatthe subject’ has been Drougut betore the attention of the public, and { pray thet your agitation ot it may lead the working classes to a Careful aud earnest study of their position in all its as- pects, and especially to the investigation of the question of the “Organization ot Industry,” which is the impera- tive, vital, ail important question of these times. Let me say, at the same time, that I regret that you have taken the name of “Agrarianism,” because that term is com- monly supposed to refer to an “equal division of the land into s+parate portions,” whereas, as | auderstand your ob- i hey are not qual divisiou, but the sion of theland These are two very di Thus far, then, there is no di nce between the pot tion of the Agrarians and the Fourierists, PARKE GODWIN. ‘The question with us, as social reformers, is, not how a portion of the Jandiess shall be put in possession of their Tight to the soil, but how the right shall be secured to the whole human race If the means proposed are not ade- qnate to t is end, you must admit they are defective, and whatever they may be, can effect only a partial benefit ‘The land every where must be reclaimed and secured to its rghtfal owners—the whole human race. Wherever the people are, there they must have the right to the land. ‘This iy the doctrine of the school to which! belong—the school of Fourier. Doubdtiess you will subs e to this doctrine. What the people reaily require, in my estimation, is the right to Labor, or the right, to employment, of which they are now so cruelly deprived, while at’ the same tame they are deluded and mocked by possession of the shatow, the right to change their masters, And I tuke it the sum of your aima—the nitimate object you have in view, is to give them possession of this pri« mary and most important of all rights. If the right to labor is secured to the people, the ona file workers, the prodacers, will soon make themselves masters of the land, wherever it may be situated, to whomsoever it may now belong, whether goveroment or capitalists. ‘The system of Fourier iotroduces them to this great right directly When the people get this right they can command all other rghts—they will not have to struggle for them. Sir, in whatever way the agitation of these great fan damental rights of man come up, I rejoice in them.— They are what the time demands and they must be dis- cussed Politicians wnd statesmen must and will learn soon that the age and the people have a deeper want than superficial politics, which regard the nation and for the man—which are occupied with national inter with clase interests, and w: look domestic int te, party interests, b interests of the hb home of famiiies d enough of ni litics apart from dom: ily politics; alone they can give the people no more rights or benefite—the ad- juetment of the relationsot labor and cupital, and of ta- milies in the township and on the land, to what the peo- j@ now need and whatthey must have. This is domes. spolitics, Thefleli is a wide and glorions one for ail who will enter it. ‘The step you have taken in opening it has my warmest sympathy and shail receive my heartiest co-operation. OSBORN MACDANIEL, From these extracts it will be clearly seen that the sentiments and objects of the Fourierites and the ‘ National Reformers” are identical; those of the latter being indeed the natural fruit of the for- mer. The “ National Retormers,” however, ap- pear to be much more practical and energetic than the Fourierites. They are not so dreamy and ab- stracted. They do not waste time in idle specu. lations about the origin of moral evil, They ge right up to the point at once, and affirm their right to a ehare of the public lands, without any o! the ridiculous mummery of legal purchase and le gal title. They are disposed to settle at once in ¢ practical way the question about the unequal pos session of this world’s goods, And already they have proceeued to make Congressional nomina- tions, and are organizing in each of the wards in this city, so as to form themselves into a compac and well-ordered party. In this way they also may abstract a consideravle number of votes from the whig party. After the election, however, they will go ow with still greater activity, and Mr. Phi- losopher Greeley will them be more at leisure to render them his aid and counsel. The meeting this evening will be very interest- ing. Doubtless a great crowd will be collected to hear the orators, and altogether the proceedings will be well worth attention. This is a most re- markable movement, and its whole progress will be full of curious incident. Important Mission To Europg—Tur Pgace or tux Wor.p Securep.—We understand from com- petent authority—authority in which we, at least, repose perfect confidence—that a very important mission is about to be undertaken to Europe, and that the embassy will sail in a few days. This mission has been undertaken by no less a person- age than his Highness, the Sovereign Prince of Coney Island, including his swite, consisting of two secretaries, one physician and a wine-taster, ac- cording to the old feudal usage and custom of the ancient and renowned sovereignty of Coney Island. He has taken passage on board that capital skim- mer of the seas, the “ Sheridan,” commanded by one of the most experienced and brightest of the bright ship-masters of New York—and we under- stand that his Highness will embark on Thursday, at the hour of 12 o’clock, from the Battery, attend- ed by his swite, when we expect to see a large con- course of our fellow-citizens assemble for the pur- pose of witnessing the departure of this important embassy. We have no doubt that a great deal of curiosity will be excited at the European Courts by the visit of this illustrious Prince, and that the movement will also awaken considerable interest at the Court of Captain John Tyler. Great anxiety will be felt respecting the object of this mission. We can only say, let them look at the belligerent attitude of France and England--the difficulties growing up in Europe—and the imminent dangerof war, as shown by our ancient friend and pistol, Col. Webb. It will be recollected that when Colonel Webb re- turned to this city after his visit to Europe, he pre- dicted a war between England and France, of which he remarked with characteristic profundity, that the chances were as “‘seven” to “two.” Whe- ther he meant by this, “seven” had abetter chance of licking “two,” or vice versa, we.know not. But no doubt there is a very bloody war now raging in Europe according to the Colonel’s account, and other equally authentic intelligence. In such a state of affairs, then, the Sovereign Prince of Coney Island goes out to Europe, to attend a Congress of Sovereigns at Baden-Baden, or Carlsruhe, or the Har'z Mountains, or some other hard-named place in the interior of Germany, at which the Emperor of Russia, the Emperor of Austria, the King of Prussia, and the Grand Turk, will be present. It is probable also that Louis Philippe will send hia fighting prince there, and it is certain that His Holi- ness the Pope will be represented by one of the Cardinals—a fact which we thus early bring under the notice ot his Honor Mayor Harper, who is, we all know, especially bound to look sharply after every thing in which that cunning old rascal, the Pope has got a finger. His Highness of Coney Island being perfectly satisfied that Europe is in danger of being precipi- tated into active hostilities, and, of course, that the United States would soon mingle in the fray, he is determined to exert the whole of his mighty influ- ence in putting an end to this war-like state of af- fairs, to prevent this shedding of blood, and to bring about that millennium when everyone wiil sit under his own fig-tree and quaff the juice of his own vine. He does not go to Europe as the Commissioners of Illinois did thrice to ask fora loan, and come back with their fingers in their mouth and pockets as empty asever. Neither does he go to Europe to get a loan in order to open a coal-mine. No. He goes to Europe to assuage the angry passions of Kings and Princes and Potentates, and to show them that he ean get wines, pure wines, wines such as go nearer a man’s heart than his shirt, and whose gentle influence dispose the kings of the earth to shake each other’s hands, instead of shaking each other's kingdoms. In short, his Highness is determined to restore the peace of Europe, which has been so seriously threatened by the belligerent attitudes of France and England. And after he has fultilled this be- nevolent mission, his Highness will take a trip through the wine districts of Spain and Portugal, and the south of France, and bring back a cargo of wines, such as have never yet inspired the souls of men in this western world. There are, we learn, three or four state rooms in the “ Sheridan” yet unengaged. We wish that we could get away, and occupy one of them, sail- ing in company with his Highness. But, alas! we cannot. While he is going to settle the affairs o! Europe, however, we must endeavor, during his absence, to preserve the peace between the two great belligerent parties here, and see also that the locum tenens of his Highness discharge with fidelity the important duties of his office, maintaining in all respects, the peace, prosperity, and welfare of the renowned sovereignty of Coney (sland, Tne Licentiousness or THe Panty Pazss.—As the day of election approaches, and the crisis be- comes more and more imminent, the party papers appear to lose altogether all sagacity, all discre- tion and all moderation. During the last few days, we have seen the papers on both sides full of charges against each other of receiving money from the British in order to carry the election. The whig papers charge the democrats with re- ceiving a share of £100,000 collected by the Bri- tish manufacturers for the purpose of promoting the cause of free trade, and a great deal of nonsense and balderdash is poured out in support of this ac- eusation. Ou the other hand, the democratic pa- pers are full of charges against the whigs of re- ceiving money from the British government in or- der to aid them in opposing the election of Mr. Polk and the annexation of Texas, If, then, we believe both parties—and they are probably abqut equal in point of veracity—both are now well supplied with money from England. We are very glad tohear this. According to both par- ties, at least $500,000 have been obtained, we care not from what quarter, and that, of course, is so mach specie added to the circulation in this coun- try, for it will all remain and be spent here. We are, of course, bound to believe the statements of both parties, and it is certainly very gratifying to fiad that they have obtained as much money as is necessary to carry the election, It is amusing, however, to see some ofthese charges come from certain quarters, The editor of the Courier & Enquirer, who went out to Eng: land to negotiate a loan for the purpose of obtain- ing means to dig coal from the Camberland coal- mines, failed in that, but received the promise of # loan next winter. If instead of going a-begging for money to dig coal he had appearea in the character ol a political mendicant, the probability is he would have gotsomething. At all events we are verygiad to hear that the British have at last opened their purse strings. During the last few years, British capita- lists would not loan a dollar for any purpose in this country. But, now, according to the organs of both parties, they have been loaning thousands and thousands for electioneering purposes. Well, that’s so much clear gain at any rate. Great Cricket Maton netween THR PLAyeRs or Canapa ann THE St. Grorar’s Crus.—This sreat match for $1000 comes off to-day over the d of the 8t. George’s Club, near the Bloom- leroad. It will be one of the greatest gamer ver played in this country, and great interest ie xoited. Last evening the betting was five to four ya the Canadians, provided the game took place, sod some little business was done, Six to four vas required, p.p. Seeing that both parties are Old Countrymen aud long established players—it nay be said that,‘ when Greek meets Greek then comes the tug of war.” The wickets are to be pitehed at ten o’clock. Thurlow Weed’s Last Fabrication. The party papers are full of the exposure of Thurlow Weed’s fabrication about the branding of Mr. Polk’s slaves. This story was thus given in the New York American of this city :— “This same James K. Polk, whose manacled bondsmen and bondswomen were seen by the Tourist in 1936, on their way to die in the sugar mills of Louisiana, with the initials of his name, x. P. Jw. Burnt into their flesh, is now the ‘Democratic’ candidate for the Presidency of the United States! According to all accounts, he treats the poor Africans whom he owns no better now than he did then, for we are told that he hires them out by the week, month, and year, as we at the North hire out cattle to our neighbors, to labor for stipulated sums, which are paid to As they are sent off from his plantation to different of Tennessee, it isnot at all unlikely that they the initials of their master’s name burnt with the iron into their shoulders and are all marked as a! mark their flocks. And these poor branded slaves of James K. Polk’s are human beings !' To which the American adds :— “Yet in despite of such facts as those against Mr. Polk, and the knowledge that he is the special nominee of South Carolina, w! leading men, Calhouns and MeDuflies, proclaim as their policy, the unlimited per petuation and spread of slavery, and their attachment to it ‘asthe corner stone of freedom’—there are men in our county professing to be the friends of the slave—abo- lition.sts—who will yet refuse to vote for Mr. Clay, per- haps, even who will vote for Mr. Polk, or what is almost in effect as bad—vote for a third man, and thus diminish the chance of defeating the slave merchant, whom South Carolina has forced upon the so called democratic party, au its candidate for President of the U. States ‘ free and in- dependent.’ This story was eagerly caught up and re-echoed by the whig journals throughout the Union, and in corroboration of it, an extract alleged by Thur- low Weed to have been made from “ Roorback’s Tour through the Western and Southern States in 1836,” describing a gang of negroes with the ini- tials of Mr. Polk’s name branded into their backs was given. On this the Albany Atlas asserted that no such book was in existence, and chal- lenged the Journal to produce a copy ; but the Journal maintained a profound silence in regard to the matter. The Albany Argus of the next day repeated the challenge, yet there was no ‘ Roor- back’s Travels” forthcoming. Then the Argus came out with the following curious expose — [From the Albany Argus.] As we suspected, ‘‘Roorback” is a fictitious name. No such man ever travelled or wrote a book about this coun- try, It is a disguise assumed to cloak the real .uthor of as gross a calumny upon the country and one of its public nen, and as boid and disgracetul a forgery us was ever perpetrated. ‘The pretended extract from Roorback’s tour in thirty six, when James K. Polk was Speaker of the House of Kepresentatives, is in fact partly a garbled ex- tract of Featherstonhaugh’s tour in thirty-four, when John Beli was Speaker, and in an out and out manu- facture of the Evening Journal! Mr. Featherstonhaugh makes no mention of Speaker Polk, for the reason that when he wrote,Governor Polk was not Speaker, ‘'o make the extract suit its purpose, the Evening Journal dates Mr. Featherstonhaugh’s tour two years ahead, when Go- vernor Polk was Speaker. Mr. Featherstonhaugh says nothing about brands or the initials J. K. P. on the backs of his alave party—the Evening Journal supplies that omission! Indeed, the whole of the extract which has any applicability to Speaker Polk, and the part displayed in Capitals aa the important part of it, is wholly a fabrica- tion of the Evening Journal—made out of whole cloth ! Mr Featherstonhaugh laid the scene of his story at New River, The Evening Journal, in order to bring the mat- ter nearer Governor Polk’s door, changes the venue to Duck River! That the public may see how much of this extract is Mr. Featherstonhaugh’s, and how much of it “ Roor- back’s,” or the Evening Jouraal’s, we place, side by aide, below, the genuine extract from Mr. Featherstonhaugh’s tour, and the Evening Journal’s pretended extract trom “ Roorback’s”, FRATHEASTONMAUGH. * Just as we reached New River, in the early grey of the morning, we came up with a singular spectacle, the most striking one of the kind I have ever witnessed. It was a camp ot negro slave drivers, just packing upto start; they had about three hundred slaves with them, who had bivouacked the preceding night in chains in the woods; these they were conducting to Natchez,upon the Mississippi River, to work upon the sugar plan- tatious in Louisiana. It re- sembled one of those coffles of slaves spoken of by Mun- go Park, except that they had a caraven of nine wa- ons and ‘ingle horse car- riages, for the purpose of conducting the white peo- ple, and any of the blacks that should fall lame, to which they were now put- ting the horses to pursue their march. The female slaves were, some of them, sitting on logs of wood, whilst others were standing, and a great many litte black children were warm- ing themselves at the fires ot the bivouac. In front of them all, aud prepared for the march, stood, in double files, about two hundred nale slaves, manacied and chained to each other. I had never seen so revolting a ht before! Black men in fetters, torn from the lands where they were bern, (rom the ‘ties they ha tormed, and from the com- paratively easy condition which agricultaral @abor iffords, and driven by white men, with liberty and equal. ity in their mouths, to a distant and unhealthy coun- try, to perish in the sugar- mills of Louisiana, where the duration of life for a sugar-mill slave doe exceed seven years! make this spectacle still more disgusting and hie icous, some of the principal Ey. J. on ‘Roorsack.” * Just as we reached the Duck river in the early grey of the morning, we came up with a singular spectecle, the most striking one of the kina I have ever witnesses It was acamp of negro slave drivers, just packing uP to start. They had about three hundred slaves with them, who had bivouacked the preceding night in chains in the woods; these they were conducting to Natchez, on the Mississippi river,to work upon the sugar plantations in Louisiana. It reaembled one of the coffles of slaves spoken of by Mungo Park, except thut they hed o 0c van of nine wegons aud si gle horse carriages for the purpose of conducting the- white people, and any of biacks that should fall lame, to which they were now putting the horses to pursue their march. The female slaves were some of them sitting on logs of wood, whilst others were standing, and a great many little bleck childcen were warming themselves by the fire of the bivouac. In front of them all, and prepared for the march, steod in double files, abeut two hundred mule slaves, manacled and chained to each other, 1 had never seen se revolting a sight be- fore! Biack men in fetters, torn jrom the lands where they were born from the ties they had formed, aud from the comparatively easy con- dition which agricultural la- bor affords, and driven by white men, with liberty and equality in their mouths, to a distant and unhealthy country to perish in the su- gar mil is of Louisiana,where the duration of life tor a su- gar mill slave does not ex- ceed seven years. [Forty three of these unfortund ¢ be ings had been purchased, I was informed, of the Hon. J K, Polk, the present Speaker of the House of Revr senta- white slave-drivers who tives; the mark of the brand- were tolerably well dressed, ing iron with the initials of and had broad brimmed his name on their shoulders, white hats on, with black distinguishing them from the crape round them, were rest.) standing near, laughing and smoking cigars.” It certainly sus no pleasure to expose such shame- ful frauds as these to the indignant gaze of an insulted vublic. They are derogatory to the character of the yess of this country, and every man connected with it. They are outrages on the moral sense of the community, and cannot failto bring the press into disrepute. They are an Mag en upon the sense of justice which distin guishes the American people, and as such, con harm only ‘heir author, aod the Cuuse they are intended to aid. Gov. Polk and his friends have nothing to fear from the use of sch weapons. Much lest has he or they any hing to fear from such men as Featherstophaugh, or the whole tribe of British libellers of our country, its institu. tions, and ite public meo. If his opponents can find any thing in his public or private life to carp at, out with it He tnd his friends challenge scrutiny into both. But ay they would have their assaults tell, let them adhere strictly to the truth. When they Lae | wi nesses to the stand, let us Know who they are, and let them speak for themselves, It (he British subject with the long name, and the proportionsts shore of bad odor which attaches to it, is to be adduced—let him appear in propria persona, d his testimony go for what it is worth.— ive us the ad ntage of the fact that he is British birth—British in his associations, feelings, habits of thinking, likes and dislikes—and British in his attachment to the fortunes of Henry Clay. Don’t un- lortake to paim off upon ts (or Mr. Featherstonhaugh, of whom every body kiuows more than he cares to know, our “ Roorbacks” and etraw-nen that nobody con know. Above all, don’t put into the mouth of a Britivh born sub. ject hasher libels on this country and its public men, then their natural antipathies have enabled them to invent. But we have extended these remarks further than we intended, and wetake leave of the subject in the hope that the editor of the Evening Journal will be able to wash his hands of this vile and disgraceful forgery. [From the Evening Journal } “The Athany Argus of this morning charges the Even- ing Journal with fabricating from the whole cloth the ex- trict, published in this paper on Monday last. from ‘Roorback’s Tour {through the'Southernt und Western States in 1936.” This charge is utterly ani Kim ag felse. The extract in question was taken, precisely as it appeared in the Journel, from an exchange paper, and was published by us without a doubt of its genuineness.” Jt seems, however, that the extract and com- ments originally appeared as editorial matter in Weed’s paper. And so this matter stands, one of the most infamous fabrications to be found in the records of falsehood. We do not believe that the Father of Lies himself could equal this infamous piece of iniquity, of which Weed stands convicted in the tace of Heaven and all men. The skulking, craven, despicable way in which the creature at- tempts to back out of the dirty scrape, too, is parti- cularly characteristic of the man. Workmen at tur Posr Orrice.—It appears th? the non-payment of one of the workmen employed at the new post office, whose complaint we pub- lished yesterday, was purely aceidental, and tha go such ground of complaint will, by any possibility exist hereafter. That's right. Notice to $rranoens.—Dr, Hollick’s novel and interesting course of lectures on the origin of life, commence this morning at 10, and evening at 8. For programme, see advertisement, ‘Tus Gaxat Wuie Meerine iv Canat Sreser. —Great preparations are in progress for the whig mass meeting at National Hall on Thursday even- ing next. Cassius M. Clay is to be one of the speakers, and will make his first appearance in this city. Every possible effort is now put forth by the whigs to conciliate the leading abolitionists here, and the same policy is adopted throughout this State and in New England. It would appear that some success attends this effort, as we perceive some of the abolition papers in this city are begin- ning to speak very harshly of their candidate, Mr. Birney, who expects to get one hundred thousand votes at leastin the next election. But on the other hand, the Patriot ef Albany, and the other strictly abolition papers in the western part of this State, are very violent against Mr. Clay, and stren- uous in the advocacy of their own candidate. At all events, it is clear that there will be a ter- rible fight between the whigs and the ultra aboli tionists up te the time of election. It is very evi- dent that the whigs believe that much depends on the movement to conciliate the abolitionists, and accordingly we find the whig papers are now filled with denunciations of Mr. Polk as a slaveholder, as branding and ill-treating his slaves, and all sorts of stories of that kind. One story of this class, first put in circulation by Thurlow Weed, has been geing the rounds, which may be alluded to as illustrative of the shameless falsity of the party press. According to this statement, a recent tourist was represented as giving a descrip- tion of anumberef slaves into whose shoulders the name of “James K. Polk” had been branded by ahotiron. In another column it will be seen that this is altogether fabulous, being an impu- dent forged addition to a statement of Mr Featherstonhaugh © This shows, however, the tactics now adopted by the whig journals. ‘This 1s an entirely new movement on the part of the whigs, and great curiosity is manifested to know how it may succeed. If the whigs can carry the abolitionists with them, and come out them- selves in full force, they will most undoubtedly elect Mr. Clay in spite of all that the demecrats cando. Now, however, is the very crisis of their tate, and all depends upon the issue of this move- ment. Stare or Puitapetruia.—The elements are again at work in Philadelphia, and probably before the election is over we shall have another series of bloody riots and conflagrations. We perceive from the newspapers of that city that the whole press is engaged in a most violent personal controversy. Libel suits are as thick as hail-stones in December, and the personal warfare of these editors is waged with a fierceness quite indescribable. This strange state of affairs has been created chiefly by the nomination of the “native” ticket, which has pro voked a great deal of angry discus In fact, the whole elements of society in P)\\\adelphia, mo- ral, religious, political and financi.|, appear to be in a state of alarming excitement and confusion. We shall, therefore, send our reporters and artists to Philadelphia in order to be on the ground in case of the first outbreak, which certainly appears to be inevitable. Suy.—The whig papers are very shy of approach- ing the present critical position of the party. The Tribune does'nt say a word about the matter, and twaddles away about the tariff. The Courier & Enquirer, with a great deal of nonsense and ab- surdity, appears to be the only paper that under- stands the crisis. It is evidently awake to the im- portance of the present movement,and labors hard to enforce upon the party the life-and-death necessity of coming out in full force at the polls. Mr. Henry Puicus’ Entertarnment Last Evenine.—A very crowded and brilliant auditory assembled last evening at the Apollo Rooms tohear Mr. H. Phillips’ first musical entertainment. Mr. Phillipe, on his first appearance, wao grected ina most enthusiastic manner. Before commencing the entertainment, Mr. Phillips said— Ladies and Gentlemen: 1 cannot proceed without at empting some expression of the grateful emotions with which the great kindness of this reception inspires me (Applause) T appear before an American audience for theffirst time. Never,indeed, until now, have I left my na tive shores. But ever since the commencement of my professional cureer, | have cherished the warmest desire to visit this great country. (Much applause.) Mr. Phillips then proceeded with his entertain- ment. It was by far the mostattractive one which we have yet seen presented in this country. The songs were all gems, introduced in the most agree- able manner, and sung as only Mr. Phillips can sing them. We never before saw the attention of an audience so thoroughly excited and retained for an entire evening by any one individual. The de- lighted feelings of the audience were constantly breaking forth in enthusiastic plaudits, and Mr. Phillips must certainly have felt much gratified by the unaffected warmth of his reception. Un Wed- nesday evening, Mr. Phillips gives hissecond enter- tainment, which will be entirely different from that of fast night, although equally attractive. Movine Macuinery of THe SeventsentH Fair —Machinery is not only interesting in a stationary condition, but it becomes ten times as interesting when put in motion. It 1s generally delayed, and Not in operation for several days after the Fair is opened. This is partly owing to the tardiness of the exhibitors in bringing in their machines. Every machine intended to be putin motion should be brought oa Friday of next week, soas to give time to adjust every thing for moving in time. Mr. Thomas B. Stillman, of the Novelty Works, has undertaken the driving of the machinery. His energy and promptness are sure pledges that no- thing will be wanting. He will employ two beau- tiful steam engines for that purpose, which in them- selves will be a great attraction to the admirers of that wondertul moving power. \f the inventors and machinists are prompt in bringing in their ma- chines, we may expect to see what has not been seen betore—the machine room full of motion on Monday the 7th day ot October, the opening day of the Seventeenth Fair.

In fact, the diversity of genius suited to all ages, sexes, and sizes, was as jar as the performances were amazing. ‘T'o-night will be re eated, and to-morrow concludes an engagement of sin Galer attraction.

Naruranization.—For the information of the numerous emigrants who are about to become na- turalized citizens, we present the following con- densed statement :— An Alien of full age, before he can be entitled to ci zenship must first declare his intention to become a cit ven, on oath or affirmation, before some court of record, having a common law jurisdiction in any State or Terri- tery; or before a Circuit or Vistrict Court of the United States. In this declaration he must declare his intention to renounce for ever all allegiance to any foreign Priuce or State of which he may be a subject or citizen. This declaration of intention must be made and recorded two years before he can be entitled to be admitted asa citizen, provided he has resided in the United States three years; or five years before he can be thus entitled, provided he makes that declaration without a previous residence.— In other words, the law requires that every foreign can- didate tor citizenship shall have resided in the country five years before he can be entitled ; and thet even then he must have declared his intention two years to qualify him for admission. Thus lien, who has resided with- in the United States one year, may declare his intention and become qualified for ‘admission in four years; but a five years residence, including a two’ years deelaration of intention, is the shortest period which the law allows for the qualification Alien minors, who @ resided in the United States tor the three years next preceding their arrival at the age of twenty one years, may, after a further residence of two years, be admitted as eitizens without the dectaration of intention required of adult aliens, provided they declare on oath, when they apply for admission, tuat it has been their bona fide intention to become citizens, and anall take the further oath of fealty reqnired by law. ‘The children of natural persons, or of those who became citizens prior to the passing of the naturalization laws, and were ander twenty-one years of age at the time of their parents’ admission, shall be considered citizens of the United States. The children of those who are now, or have heen citizens of the United States, shall, though born out of the limits and of the United States be considered as cili- zens. And it is further provided that if an alien legally declare his intention to become a citizen, and die before he is actually naturalized, his widow and children shall be considered as naturalized, and be entitled to all the rights of citizens, upon taking the oaths prescribed by law.
