NEY YORK HERALD. | ‘New York, Sunday, October 6, 1844. Whe Mxcitement of the Day. Daring the last few years we have seen a variety of excitements in this country. We have had re- ligious excitements, wrapping great districts in the flames of that zeal and enthusiasm which the sa- cred text very happily characterizes as being ** with- out kuowledge,” aud spreading with amazing rapidity from one end of the country to the other We have had the temperance excitement, also wide-spread and (ar more beneficial in its tendency Moral excitements of ail descriptions have had their period of sway. Then we have had the dancing mania—and the musical mania, and all sorts of manias. But by far the greatest excite- ment and most omnipotent mania which has yet visited us, is the excitement of the present day, and the Clay and Polk mania. The rapidity with which this excitement has diffused itself all over the land—the violence which Later from Rio Janeiro Vatrage on . the American B'lag—An American Vessel Aban- Rio px Janxino, let August, 1844.

M., the En- glisik Man-of- War brig Alert, was lying to at anchor, five miles off Cabinda. Her boat came alongside, manned by two officers, one boy, and four negro rs, Crew. men) fhe Capt. of the Alert, Mr. Bosanquet, (after I told him that the brig was the Cyrus, of New Orleans, and visited once by him by force, to save himself the trouble to visit my vessel twice, and at the same time asked him who he was, andto show me a power from my govern: ment to visit me,) answered, putting his hands on his flag—"'This tells who | am;” and to me, “I willcome on board and you willsee” “Very wel shall be made for violating the treaty.” T' got on deck with his officers and crew, he ordered his men to open my hatches fore and aft—went down himself with his company, and came on deck after he found that the vessel had nothing but water ballast, (nothing else, then came towerds me, and said in a rough mana want to see your papers.” My answer was in the tune—''Since, when a man like you, takes the liber has all along characterized it—its fearful increase in the receipt ot every fresh piece of intelligence from States where the first skirmishes have taken place—and the demoralization, licen- tiousness, immorality, folly, falsehood and blas- phemy, which have every where marked its pro- gress, all render this excitement the most remark- able of any with which we have been visited — There certainly never has been any political cam- paign in which the genuine patriot has found more to oppress bis spirit with shame and alarm. Just Jet us reflect for a moment on the forgeries— the reputable hoaxes—the caluimnies—the slanders—the scurrility—the intemperance—the indecencies which have characterized the press « both parties! And the orators, the milosirels, the itinerant partizans, who have been waking so incessantly on both sides or, have, equally with the party editors, discovered the extreme depths of degradation to which partizan- ship—unprincipled, selfish, besotted partizanship— reduces all men who permit that vile spirit to ob- tain the mustery over them. The newspapers of the whigs, and the whig orators have been hard at work for three er four months past, proving their opponenta, the democrats, from Mr Polk down to the lowest member of the ‘‘ Empire Ciub,” to be the greatest set of villains unhung, that ever pollu- ted any country. And just so on the other side. The democrats have been equally industrious in the effort to prove that the whigs are, without ex- ception, all bad, all disreputable, all a disgrace to the country. Indeed, we do not believe that in any previous Presidential contest, has there been such an out- vouring of vituperation, slander, and personal abuse of the most vulgar and revolting character— such general and disgusting exhibitions of the vilest passions of the human heart, as have been mani- fested during the present campaign. We have en- deavored to collect some of the grossest specimens of abuse and vituperation, from the various party papers of both sides; but the torrent of blackguard- ism became, weeks ago, so swollen, that it was mpoussible even to give any tolerable sample of its vileness. Every principle of morality—of religion —of common decency, appears to be set at nought by the active purtizans on both sides. And the ex- citement pervades all classes. It operates uni- versally. Nothing elve is talked of, or thought of, but the coming contest. Even the fine arts—the theatres—the places of amusement, ure affected by this extraordinary outburst of political licen- tiousness and folly. Certainly no true friend of this country can be- hold ai! this withcut sorrow and alarm. It is only this fieree and disagraceful pariizan spirit which blots and blurs the beauty of that great movement which is going on with euch prosperity and triumph in this mighty land. Surely, then, itbecomesthat great, influential, and all-powerful body of honest mid reputable men—ihe neutrals, the honorable citizens who stand aloof from the filthy arena of party politics—to come forth and unite in putting down that uuhallowed and demoralizing spirit which is now disgracing the character of our free institutions. When shall we see the great third party arising in its majesty and strength to give us a just and equiuble government, salutary reform, and a wise and honest administration of the laws, utogether irrespective of men, and irrespective oi party the distinctions which are now arraying brother agaigst brother, and covering the whole land with dishonor and disgrace ? Posrace Rerorm —Itis not a little remarkable, and shows us how blinded men become to their real interests in the excitement of political strife, that, amidst all the clamor at present raised about reforms and new measures, not a word issaid about postage reiorm—a measure of the greatest possible public utility, and of universal interest aud impor- tance. This is indeed a real reform, for it con- cerns the pockets, the feelings, the convenience, aud the interest of every individual throughout the country. Yet the politicians and office-seekers of both sides are so much engaged in trying to humbug each other and the great neutral masses, who will decide the coutest, that they have no time to look after any thing but the attainment of their own ends by the most paltry means imaginable. The Post- Office department was never in such a dilapidated condition as at this moment. It had been reduced to this lamentable condition by the ignorance, folly, presumption and stupidity of the head of the department, aided and abetted by men of the same calibre, such es the Postmasters of New York and other places, who have advised him. What has been the result? By obstinately persisting in withholding his consent to reduce the preseat oppressive rates of postage, he has created hosts of post masters on their own hook, who are appropriating all the profits and advantages arising from the transmission of |eiers en the great routes betweon the chief cities, so that the post-office depastment will be quite broken down long before the next session of Congress. [tis surely time for the people to stir in this matter. A pledge of post- office reform should be exacted from every cand:- date for Congress. All favorable to the measure should at once hold public meetings and com- mence moving in the matter. {rise Repeat Mextinos In New Yorn.—We perceive that the Irish Repealers here have an- nounced their intention of holding a mass meeting ! “ the fends of Ireland,” at Tammany Hall, on Wednesday evening next. This movement has originated in the news of the liberation of O’Con- neli~a piece of intelligence received by the last sieainer. It is the misfortune of the Irish people here that they will persist in keeping themselves so isolated | and peculiarly clanish. If they discovered a pro- per spirit of love towards universal liberty they | would call upon all those who are friendly to the | elevation of the popular masses not of Ireland alone, but of Scotland, England, France and all Europe. Instead of making their cause a purely trish locai | cause, they should make it European aud univer sal. By the adoption of this policy they would re- ceive the sympathy of nacives of all lands, whether jump on board of an American vessel, against the Cap tain’s will, opening hatehes, searching the cabin, and all over the ship, without speaking a word to me; and be- sides that, I must show you my papers—please tell me who you are?—You are not in umform; any pirate can come to an anchor like your brig, and send a boat with on English flag, a8 you do— Please show me a power to visit then, on th» spot, I will show you my papers.” He said—"'I have it, but it is on board.” ‘Weil, go and et it” “My word ie good enough” 1 suid that I was not obliged to believe him—then again he asked for the papers “You shal) not see them.” “Well, if you don’t show me your papers I will take you to be a Pirate, and from tnis moment I take charge of the brig” My answer wus—Ag lane as that flog is hoisted, and my papers on board, I shall be the Captain of my own ship; or, if you wish to take charge of her, yon must send for more force, or order your brig to come alongside to fire into me, until 1am killed,holding the ensign balliards in my hands.” Dur- ing the conversation I held my log book in the lett baud; then, thinking | would show my papers quicker, he said to me—""The reason why you cannot show me the papers is because you have sold jour vessel was told so” “It is not true; if my vessel ‘was sold | would not have the American flag up;I nor my crew would beon board row.” Vexed to find that he could not succeed in ant way. he then said, “ Well, I will go in the cabin and make search allover” Immediately I placed the American flag before the cabin door, which was held tight by myself, the mate and two of my men; and | observed to him that nut ‘step into the cabin without trampling on the United States flag” Hii er was, that “it made no difference to him,” and he ii ly rushed into the cabin, followed by his officer and a negro, who trampled the fag under their feet in presence of my crew. ‘Then I said, * Rove our flag is insulted—it will cost dear to tre English nation!” They all came on deck and the Captain told ms to let him have my log book. My answer was, “Never! and as long as I had a drop of blood in my veins no British subject would take it away from me.”— ‘Then, he observed, that he had “the power to obtain it by force ;” at the same time he ordered one of his negroes to take the book from me, who obeyed ihe order given to him. I stepped back, pushing the negro, and called op mm mate and crew to ‘asst me und to arm themselves wil handepikes and knives, and be ready to strike, in case the British officer gave a new order. At this the British cap- tain turned pale, and with the voice of a coward, said to me: “Captsin, stop your men—I don’t wish to see any blood-shed or butchery;” then nothing took place. He wanted to go into the cabin to make a second search. I observed to him that my papers were on board, in my trunk,” and showed him ‘the key. He said, “Let me have the key. or | shall take it by force” My an swer was “Have you forgotten what took place for the log-book before? Do you wish to begin again 7” © Then,” he said, “I will go inthe cabin and have your trunk broken open” gave him no answer He sent bis officers and a negro to act. 1 followed them with my mate They broke the trunk and took the papers out of it.

He handed the papers to tain I then told him, “Now, you are <atisfied with your chef deuvres, please to give me my papers, as I wisht» sail tomorrow.” “N°. sir, I will keep them with me, and pocket them, and gooff” 'I then said to him, “As long as my papers are taken away from me, I shall have to leave my ve and, thereupon, me and my crew aban toned her ; leaving every thing on board ; trunks, instruments, chronometer, Cc, DUMAS, Unirep States Consutate, Rio de Janeiro. {, the undersigned, Consul ot the United States, hereby certify the signature to the foregoing document to be that of P.

Tux “ Roorpack” Forcery.—We believe we | L have at last got the whole history of this forgery from its commencement to the end. It appears | | | | \ | | ! that it had its origin in a hoax—that a Mr. Linn of | Tthaca, in this State—a whig, and not a locotoco, as he has been represented by some of the whig papers,—made the celebrated interpolation in the extract from Featherstonhaugh’s book, and sent it tothe editor of the Ithaca Chronicle, whig paper, for publication, with the express object, as Linn alleges, of discovering whether the editor of that paper, ‘moral and religious, as he was allowed to be, would not, equally with others, publish any | falsehood, however gross, if he could thereby ef- feet a political object.” Altogether unaware of the fraud, as he states, the editor of the village pa- |) number of others of great merit, by our most per just named, published the extract, and from his columns it was transferred to the Albany Pa- triot, and from thence it was taken by Thurlow Weed and adopted as hisown. From the Eve- ning Journal it wasat once copied extensively, and has now been circulated all over the Union, doubt- less in many quarters where the exposure of the forgery will never be made. What an extraordinary—what a melancholy sto- ty! It would be difficult perhaps to obtain any more striking illustration of the demoralizing eflect of party spirit than this storyaffords. The story of Ezekiel Polk was another instance of the same kiad, and in all probability, we shall have a dozen ur two of fresh forgeries before the day of election. “Tne Natives.”—The last meeting of the ‘‘na- tives” at Vauxhall showed some symptoms of re- turning spunk. About two thousand persons were present, but by no means twenty thousand, as some of the papers state. This is sufficient, how- ever, to presenta new aspect in the approaching State election. The democrats, of course, will nominate their candidates for all the national and State offices. The whigs are proceeding in the same movement, and now the “natives” are no- minating their candidates. The only result of such conflicting tickets willbe to entirely prostrat ihe whigs and “natives,” and give a strong and overwhelming majority to the democrats. The whig and ‘ native” tickets nftst merge into each other. The two parties must mingle at once. ‘The whigs must adopt the identical principles of the ‘ natives” with all their intalerance, bigotry and proscription, otherwise they will both be de- feated. We also perceive that another “ native” paper is about to be started, and we should not be sur- prised to see two or three more before next spring: cliques than are the “ natives” already. Mu.tenism.—The following notice may be seen in the window of a tailor and draper, Fifth street, below Market street, Philadelphia, who has closed his store, and placed the following placard on his shutters :— } 99000000000000000000000000 00000000 This Shop is c.oned in honor of the King of Ki Who will ey ol ber. Get ready, friends, to crown him Lord of all. 60000000000 00000000000000000000000, This is only to be equalled by the person who a few days since, in Bosion, sent all his wearing ap- parel and other articles of property to the auction store to be disposed of, saying that what he then wore would be sufiicient for his purpose, as this world would come to an end in a few day’s time. Tuearxicat anv Musicat,.—Daring the last few weeks a number of symptoms have presented them- European or American. The oniy ground of hop: for Ireland is in a general movement of the masee: | in the British empire. As to the reform pursued by Mr. O’Convell—whieh is peculiarly Irieh in it character, and, indeed, we may say sectarian, fc itis Roman Catholic as much as any thing else—j isone of the greatest phantoms and delusions « the age. It never can be realized. A separatio of Ireland in any form from England can never b realized without the conseat of Scotland and Eng land, which never can be obtained. The only hoy: of Ireland's salvation is in a great, united, genere Movement in favor of liberty. And, therefore, tl only proper policy of those who profess to be th friends of Irejand is to unite with all in a simil: condition throughout the British empire and mak« their cause net a local but 4 universal one selves, shewing that notwithstanding the crowds of people in the city, the theatres, concert-rooms, exlubitions, and everything else are not so fully at- tended as last year about this time. This may be easily accounted for, from the political excitement which now rages with such unexampled violence sud absorbs every other fecling. But once this ubstdes, then will commence the real fashionable eason for the opera, the ballet, the theatres, con- tvs, fashionable soirees, exhibitions of the fine «rsand soon, But up to the middle of November we may expect nothing buat polities—politice—poli- ties ~Clay—Clay—Clay— Polk-- Polk—Polk. Democratic Nomivation.---Mr. Edward H Nicoll was last evening nominated as candidate ov Congress from the third district. The natives have nominated Mr. Miller, ‘Theatrieals, dc. i - Hert Alexandre, the magician, is about to visit Nashville. Mr. J. Sloman and the Misses Sloman, are giv- ing Concerts at the Melodeon Theatre, Boston. The Hutchinsons are giving concerts at Port- land. Mr. Booth terminated his engagement at the Pittsburgh Theatre on Tuesday Evening last. Mr. Phillips, the celebrated vocalist, has deter- mined first to visit Philadelphia, and will give his first concert there to-morrow evening, instead of going to Boston. , La Porka.—Korponay, the great teacher of this celebrated dance, leaves Boston on the first of No- vember, in consequence of his engagements in this city. In London, Henry Russell, whom the people of the United States have ‘admired and wondered av’ has given a series of cencerts in the Queen’s Concert Room, Hanover Square. A critic of the Great Metropolis speaks of the musician and his entertainments thus: ‘*His voice is a bari- tone of considerable register, resonant, and the intonation unexceptionable, though the quality is tar from agreeable, until the ear becomes accustemed to its brassy peculiar. ity. As musical compositions, his songs cannot rank very high. There is little novelty, and a lack of musicianly knowledge, but there is dash, ener- gy, and sufficient tune to carry the general ear, and when executed by Russell, they attain a value much beyond their intrinsic merit. The attend- ance was immense ; every corner of the room was densely crowded, and his welcome most enthusi- astic. IraLian Orgra.—The second pertormance of the new ballet, “‘ The Independence of Greece, or the Women Warriors,” came off last evening before a tolerably good house, considering the ostracism which our fashionables have deemed proper to in- | flict on Saturday nights. ‘The reason of this slight put on that unfortunate day is, and will be, a mys- tery to the ‘future generation,” unless this reason be found in the circumstance, that fashionables generally act without any reason at all; for if the bon ton, zar excellence, does not absolutely prescribe the attendance at the opera of a Saturday, it hardly can be considered to be mauvais ton to enjoy a pleasant evening on the last day of the week, and in consulting our Chesterfield, we looked in vain for the anathema. Those who had courage enough | to brave the verdict of fu-hion—that Hondesattet 4 | which cannot be felt, seen, heard, or explained— had reason to be satisfied with the entertainment. We do not mean to say that it can vie with the fabulous splendor of ballets in Paris and London, but taking it all together, it reflects much credit on the manager and the dancers, and the beginning fie much hope for future exhibitions of “ the ight fantastic toe.” The argument 1s as simple and clear as an argument should be ; the action is lively, and interspersed with frequent pas and balla- biles, which banish the usual monotony of a ballet d'action. The only faultwhich can be found init is, that the events which form the groundwork o the ballet are of too recent a date, and there- fore give rise to several andchronisms in cos- tumes and similar things, The heroine was per- soneted by M’lle Desjardins, the prima donna of the chorographical department, and frequently de- lighted her numerous admirers by the grace of her movements, the skill and vigor of her steps, aud the expression of her mimics. She shone very much in the pas de deux with Martin, who likewise acquitted himself very well, if we except several figures in his soli, on which he sometimes used too much violence to be thoroughly graceful. This pas was the gem of the evening, and its general effect would still have been greater if it would not end so ohrupy Madame De Barr displayed a re- spectable talent in her pas sew, which necessarily must be very short. Her toilete was very charming, but ringlets won’t do fara — In Miss, Celeste, who figured last winter a ‘‘la petite Celeste” lies the germ of an first rate dancer; she was much applauded in her pas de deux with the clever M’lle Vallée. The corps de ballet wants some drilling and equality of acion, ‘heir general appearance auld greatly Improve, it the very short ones would not be placed immediately next to the very tallones. We regret that we cannot say much goed of the music; it lacks freshness and variety of melodies, From Mr. oder’s reputation, a better taste in the selection could have been expected. Nothing could have been more Speroptiats. than to adapt the music from Rossini’s splendid opera “ Le Siege de Co- rinthe,” which was written for a similar text ; in- stead of dishing up a series of lachrymose airs, which can only emanate from the clarionette of a blind man with his dog in the Champs Elysées. It certainly is to be regretted that there are so many quadrille tunes in our modern operas, but in ballets they are in their right place. The scenery is very neat and the getting up is very praiseworthy. We must not forget to mention that the ladies fired their guns with much greater precision than the gentlemen. Tue Nationa, GaLLery oF PaintINGs opens to-morrow. It contains the principal paintings in the fine collection of the late Luman Reed, with distinguished artists. It will be found the most vivid, attractive, and recherché exhibition seen in this city for many years. Several of the paintings are of great value, and have attracted great atten- tion from artists and amateurs. We shall give a minute account of the exhibition hereafter. Tue American Instirure Farr for the present year opens at Niblo’s to-morrow. It will be one of the greatest aflairs of the kind we have yet seen. They are to have ploughing matches at Fordham, agrand exhibition of fruit and flowere, and every thing under the sun at Niblo’s—speeches, consulta- tions, music, orations, and what not. A great deal of money will be taken at the doors, and thus peo- ple will begin to putthe annual query, what be- comes of all this money? Who gets it? What do they do with it? For the last sixtcen years peo- ple have been trying to get this short catechism an- swered, but somehow they can’t manage it at all, and the matter 1s as great a mystery as ever. Ore Buti.—The great maestro on the violin has arrived in town, and gives a cuncert at Niblo’son Tuesday next. Lirrix Devawark js still strongly claimed by both parties.

A bargain wes struck, and Mr. Pearse gave the fel- jow his own watch, @ silver watch 20 dol- tara, and 16 dollars. in in payment. Soon alter the ain was consummaied | Mr. Pearse left, and nearly as soon discovered that the watch was composed of brass, und not ofthe precious metal (gold). Quickly Mr. Pearse vepaired to the Police, and male known his grievances, could not bz found, he was compelled to put up with his Joss, and to ponder over his want ef discretion in dealing with strangers, casually, whom he met in the pulic streets.

Both parties arrayed their forees, and such a display of lighted pine-knots—suflocating smoke—party bannera with senseless inscriptions—frothy oratory—vapid songs idiotic shouts—fume, fuss, fury, and fighting, never perhaps disgraced a city in America before. in the afternoon, two or three thousand m men were raising a Polk pole, which fell and ed on the ¢ f ill- “ a poor German.

He raved till past midnight. I heard him utter but one senteunce—he said the whigs did not look like democrats, walk nor talk like democrats, and they did not smell like democrats. As the smells around me were exceedfngly unsavory, { felt encouraged by this assurance of the orator, and hastened to the whig meeting, but i found the bellowing gentleman had lied, for the smells were the same there; the mingled abomina- tions arising from active and extinguished cigars, pea-nuts, rum, and the garlick contents of sto- machs belching forth their loathsome shine in shouts of “Hurrah for the Tariff’—‘ Clay and Frelinghuysen ” As un instance of the lamentable excess to which men carry their madnegs, 1 must record a sight which brought the blood tinglin gto my cheeks with shame for my countrymen. In the afternoon 1 saw a bauner on which was inscribed ‘¢ We go for Annexation—but not for Texas” Who carries | that?” asked I, of a bystander. “The women,” saidhe. “Of the town?’ Tenqnired. ‘ Of the town !—no—young ladies of the purest chara cter. They ride in an open vehicle, surrounded by torches, and bear that banner in their midst.” “Good God,” I exclaimed—‘ Can virtuous, mo- dest girls announce to a gaping, vulgar multitude that they want to be annexed to somebody ?” During the evening I saw hundreds of well dressed, delicate looking females, hanging on the arms of humaa asses,who were shouting “hurrah for Clay,”” or hurrah for Polk!” Rome fell before she reached an equal degree of public indecency as this devoted republic has got to. Last Sunday morning the editor of the Gazette, the most influential paper here, and the editor of the £ugwirer, the chief democratic paper, icnocked each other down at the door of the Henrie House, a principal hotel.
