October 23, 1844, ‘fhe Present Extraordinary Position of Political Affairs this City. The “native” meeting held in the Park, in this city, on Monday evening, has struck terror into the hearts of both the old parties, and astonished every intelligent aud thinking man throughout the city. This is the 23d of October, the day set down by the Millerites for the destruction of the earth, and there is every appearance, from the symptoms around us, that a terrible destruction is impending, not over this habitable globe, but over the heads of both the old rotton and corrupt political parties into which the people of this city and country have been divided. We are on the verge—nay, rather be it said, we have already crossed the threshold of a great revolution—a revolution affecting politics, religion, society, morals, and every thing pertain ing to human life ; and the end of which we can- not distinctly see by any of the mental teles- copes or spy-glasses that are within ourreach. The meeting on Monday night—the congregated masses —the immense processions—the loud hurras—the enthusiasm—the eloquence —the Drummond lighis —the intellectual lights that. shed such brilliance around, on the trees of the Park, and the dense masses of human beings—the moon in the heavens and the Fountain sparkling eighty feet high—have all produced a degree of astonishment in this city, and amongst all classes and all politicians, that is truly amusing, excruciating, appalling, and every thing else that you please. The journals of both the old parties published yesterday, fully corroborate every epithet we have applied to this meeting, and the description we have given of its impression upon the New York people. Here are their remarks:— (From the Courier and maguire) Mass Meeting of THE Amenicay Rervacicans.— The Mass Meeting of the American Republicans, to respond to the Congressional and Stete nominations, was held in the Park last night ; and we hazerd nothing in that so large an assembiage has never vefure been this city. A magnificent Drummond Light placed on the balcony of the City Hall, shed a bright light over thesea of haman b «ings crowded together, and gave the scenea most piciuresquveftect. Three sarge stands were erected, from which el quent addresses were delivered Rockets and magnificent fire works were set off at intervals, nd the proceedings ior the evening in the Park were closed with a superb piece, bearing the motto, “ Americans their own \wers.” Attne sound of the bugle, at 9 o’cloek, the immense mass formed in procession and marched through the prin- streets, not! daunted by a drizzling rain, which enced as the poate was forming. It was truly amagnificent display ; the like of which has not been witnessed in this city. {From the Tribune } The Natives held an immense meeting in the Park last evening set off by fire works and illuminated by a Drum. mond Light in the Balcony of the City Hall. We did not learn che names of the speakers. [From the Plebeian.] The American Republicans had an extremely large meeting in the Park last evening. Strong resolutions were passed arainst any coalition with the whigs, as they had been villanonsly deceived in Philadelphia at ‘the late election. After their display of fireworks, the procession passed Tammany Hall, and the Democratic portion of it gave loud, long and strong cheers for Polk and Dallas, Wright and Gardiner Af.er the procession had passed some eight or ten thousand peopie gathered about old Tammany, and were addressed by a gentleman from Maine, whose name we do not know, Messrs. Nichols, Derry, Eddy, and Wells. [From the Express.] Tae Garat Native AmenicaN Menino 1x THE Pann, Last Nicut —Uur Reporte 8 have given pretty full re: ports and sketches ef the Native American meeting and spectacle in the Park, last night, -which, without m tion, or alteration, we lay before our readers. It was, be- yond ail doubt, the greatest demonstration of the season, and of such acharacter and nature, as to embarrass our party as well as Tammany Hall. It threatens to involve and evolve elements in the coming city election, the like of which we did not have even in the charter elec- tion, and the end of which we cannot well foresee. New York, Wednesday, The singular mixture of admission—comment— chagrin—despondency—dread and alarm which pervade these paragraphs, will at once convey to the public in every part of the country the impres- sion which this extraordinary development and monster meeting of the “native” republicans of the city of New York have produced. There ean be no mistake about the position in which we find ourselves now, and that is on the verge of a great revolution—a civil revolution—a religious, moral, and social revolution, rising up, side by side, with the election of a President, and either one way or the other determining that question, and deciding whether it will be Mr. Clay or Mr. Polk, but which of them it is to be, it is very difficult in the present confused state of things to say. We have again and again, in the course of the last year or more, given a full historical view of the rise and progress of this new organization of the people, having for its basis a mixture of good sense, religion, practical utility, and some emall portions of intolerance and folly. We have watch. ed it from its commencement up to the present mo- ment. It originated singularly enough within the bosom of the democratic party, and grew ont of the tampering of the democratic leaders with a certain portion of naturalized citizens who hap- pened to be banded together in consequence of their being born in Ireland. The “native” por- tion of the democratic party saw, year after year, li'- tle beggarmen rising up, hunting after the Irish vote, sometimes for one purpose and sometimes for anoth- er, and began to doubt the policy of such conduct And then, very naturally, when on a certain occa- sion Bishop Hughes and the Irish attempted to ex- ercise a direct control ip the political affairs of the country, these native democrats broke away and formed the nucleus of the “native” party,as we have seen. This movement then took its rise in the abuses perpetrated by “native” leaders of the de- mocratic ranks, but it has grown ana thriven by an appeal to the general feeling of certain classes be- longing to all parties, and may be now justly re- garded as embracing within its limits the great masses of the two old parties in this city. Amongst the democrats so far as regards the local ticket here, there is a strong spirit of disaffection already, particularly in relation to the exclusion of the Bible from certain schools, and we should not be at al! surprised if this disaffection should proceed toa very remarkable extent, so as to affect their votes in November. Asto the whig party, the diserganiaa- tion and demoralization which have been at work in it, during the last few weeks, have astonished every body That party is left almost without rank and file—with nothing but two cligues—the *tyoung”’ and the “old” whigs—violently assailing each oth- er in private, and now publicly engaged in hostile array in relation to the propriety and expediency of holding a mass Convention whethe on the 23d or on the 30th. The consequence of this seatiment pervading both parties—of the singular want of judgment, tact, and discretion, in the leaders’ of both parties—we are pre- pared to see the ‘ native” ticket, from top to bottom, carried at the next election by a majority ranging from five to ten thousand, out of a mass of fifty thousand voters in this city, In fact, there is no calculating the extent of this majority. The whole congressional, senatorial, and legislative ticket of the “ natives” is certain to be carried, and the only question that remains to be decided— to be investigated—to be examined—is that in re. lation to Polk and Clay,—how are they going t fare in the melée? A question more easily asked than answered. ‘Thus we present, in brief, the view of our posi tion im this city at present. The two old parties, so far as their local tickets are concerned, are in « state of utter prostration and disorganization. The new party occupies the field, with every prospec: of carrying every thing before them, so far as their local tickets are concerned ; whilst the friends of the two presidential candidates—pamie-struck, pa ralysed, frightened at the progress’ of this new party, are very busy endeavoring to find out what its sentiments are with respect to ihe presidentia question. So far a8 we can judge, we are incline to believe that the leaders of the “ native” party are more dispoved to fraiernize with Mr. Clay anc his ticket than with Mr. Polk, It is true, amonge the rank and file of the “natives” a differen disposition may be perceptible; but we are per- suaded that the leaders of the new movement would, if they could, by slow degrees, or by a rapid course, precipitate the weight of that immense portion of the people into the ranks of Mr. Clay, but not in favor of the whig local ticket. Adesperate effort will,no doubt, be made by the democrats and the friends of Mr. Polk, to prevent such # consummation ; and the whole time, from this moment to the day of election, will be oecupied in plots and counter- plots, aad all sorts of schemes and manq@uvres on one side, to accomplish the election of Mr. Clay; and, on the other side, that of Mr. Polk. With what success these efforts may be made on either side, it is now quite impossible to predict, but we shall endeavor to watch the progress, and accu- rately report the character of events. Such is the position of things in this city. Such is the uncertainty of the chances, both of the Clay and Polk ticket. [t is impossible to guess who will get the majority, or what the character of that majority 1s likely to be. It may be small— it may be large. The folly of the whig leaders, with respect to the abolitionists, will, probably, render the contest in the interior a tie— throwing on thiscity the responsibility of deciding New York State may then be regarded as almost even, Pennsylvania is in the same state.— Throughout the country, then, the chances ef both candidates seem to be quite on a level. Every thing appears now to depend on the success i h the ‘* natives” are operated on be- tween this time and the election. We have much to say on these matters from day to day as the plot thickens and the facts become developed. Comptaints amMonast Po.iticians.—We find a very curious letter in the Tribune of yesterday ad- dressed by Cassius M. Clay to Horace Greeley. Its interest and value are owing to the very clear and striking illustration it affords of that peculiar code ot decency, morality and politeness, accord ing to which the conduct of political hacks is re- gulated. In this respect it isa perfectgem There is a characteristic, busiress-like air about the vi tuperation and abuse which is amusing. Here it New Yorx Civ, Oct. 21, 1844. Mr. Greely: Sit—Inan article in the Albany Argus of the 19th Oct. headed *C. M. Clay and the * * * Central Committee,” there are three or four lies which it might, perhaps, be well to notice in passing. These gentry may rob me of my letters ; I care not for that—but my fair fame they shall not attack with impunity, 1. It is false, then that I persuaded (as is alleged) Mr. Gerritt Smith to re- fuse meeting me in debate at my appointment at Utica ; Mr. 8. wrote his declension before I saw him, and handed itto me on sight. 2d. Itis false that the Albany Clay Club or Committee have any control (as is alleged in the Argus) over my movoments; the appointments were made at my own request, 3d. Itis false that I am under pay for my services; nove but a base and infamous time- seiver like the Argus would insinuate that other men were as traitorous and destitute of patriotism as himself. Thave never received one cent for my services from any man or set of men, but I have spent many hundred dollars and my time in the service of my country, to persuade my countrymen tu eave themselves from this felon crew of office-seekers, who weuld shed our blood and expend all our treasure, it they may but fatten at the public crib! 4th. It is false and calumnious that Iam here at the sug gestion of Mr. Henry Clay, or any other man. I only am respynsible for my self. Yours, ©. M CLAY. Just see-how these politicians abuse each other! Robbery—falsehood—forgery—-blood-thirstiness— these are the crimes of which they are constantly accusing one another. And yet these are the men who are going about the country claiming to be really gentlemen—to be honorable men—and to be worthy of the first offices in the country. These are the men whose names we see paraded in the party journals as paragons of patriotism, virtue and respectability. And yet these are the men who are daily disgracing the character of the country by indulging in the language of the ‘ Five Points.” We do fervently trust that the time will yet come when public questions and the claims of candidates for high and honorable places in the government of the land, will be discussed in gentlemanly lan- guage, and when political hacks, will no longer dare to insult public decency, and demoralize the people by their gross and vulgar vituperation, seurrility and blackguardism. ° Tne Great Mars Convention or Cray Wuics Tus Day.—The great procession and demonstra- tion of the young whigs takes place to-day. It will, very probably, be # grand affair. It is quite amusing, however, to observe the quarrels amongst the old and young cliques about this demonstra- tion. Here we have had some of the whig organs for the last few weeks crying out very loudly against mass meetings and processions, and all that, as of no service, and now, as we see from the Courier of yesterday, they are at it tooth and nail, because one of the cliques happened to get the start of the others in the very business agains! which they had declaimed! The whigs are already tairly pitted againsteach other, and we may readi ly imagine the fun which will be created: if Mr Clay should be elected. And the whigs have not all the fun of these preparatory cliques to themselves, the locofocos are in an equally promising state, and in case of Mr. Polk’s election, the fighting, scrambling, quarrelling, backbiting, and fury amongst them, will, as the Hibernians say, beat Banagher, and that beats the Devil. Last Kick or tHe Ketcuum Ciique.—A very desperate sort of giving-up-the-ghost kick was made last night by the section of the Whigs who go for Hiram Ketchum. Serious doubts had been enter- tained, by sundry well-informed persons, as to the physical ability of said section to give even a re- spectable “last kick,” but the section accomplished the feat at the Tabernacle lust evening, or rather Mr. Ketchum did, by pouring out, for two hours or thereabouts, the violence, bigotry, assertion, de clamation, quotations, extracts, statistics, texts, and bombast contained in the speech—the everlast- ing, the patent India rubber speech about the school law, andthe bible and the Pope. The Tabernacle was weil filled—the galleries being crowded with ladies. The audience got rather fidgetty towards the last, and Mr. Ketchum con- cluded somewhat abruptly by exhorting his audi- tors, with characteristic modesty, not to vote for any other candidate but himsel/, as he was the only man who, could and would setile the schoo! question to the satisfaction of all creation. Mr Ketchum will have to kick again and a little hard er before he demolishes Mr. George Folsom. Wetsn Nartionau Society — This very meritori- ous society, established two years ago, for the re- lief and assistance of Welsh emigrants, gives a soirée, at the Apollo Saloon, on Friday evening next. Fine music—eloquent addresses—poetry— the smiles of beautiful women—and an elegant collation, are the attractions offered. That issure- ly enough. Tuompson’s Bank Notg Rerorter.—By an ad- vertisement in another column, it will be seen that the proprietor of this valuable counterfeit detector has made an alteration in the mode of delivering the paper, which cannot but prove beneficial to his interest, and satisfactory to his subscribers. Panoramic Views or tHE Batties or Nortn Point any Bunxer Hitt, &c., &o —One of the most novel, amusing, and interesting exhibitions in this city, is now being displayed at the, Coliseum, 450 Broadway; it consists of a most correct de- lineation of these two great events in the history of this country, and done in such a way as at once to convey more information en the subject than the reading of volumes, or the display of numbers of pictures, by a series of mechanical figures which at once must strike the mind indelibly. In it there are-good paintings of the different points ; automaton figures moving to and fro ; vessels suil- ing up and down rivers,firing upon their opponente, and various other man@uyres which must be view- ed to be really believed. Those parents who wish their Children to be impressed with some of the most striking events of the history of the country, should by no means fail in giving them an eppor- uoity of Witnecsing this exhibition, as it must in- juce them to further siudy, and cause them to *mark, learn, and inwardly digest” by-gone events and their consequences. here are other pictures or views displayed, as well as some pretty good music, both vocal and instrumental, on each occa: sion, but the previous is worth the whole, Mittgrism in New Yorx.—The last eve- ning being the one before the great ‘* go- ing out” of the Millerites, there Was some anxiety in the public mind as to what and how they were preparing for this, to the Mul- lerites, great event, and it was generally expected that something more than an ordinary display would be made at the different places of worship. The attendance thereat was pretty great. The one at the corner of Christie and Delancy streets was clo- sed throughout the day; but there were continually a number of persons assembled on the outside dis- cussing the why and the wherefore, and other mat- ters inconnection. The other place, in Chatham square, sufficiently indicated that{they had given it up as the door was blocked up with se- cond hand chairs, tables, pots, pans, &c., and their sign over the door was removed; but, notwithstanding these indications, in the eve- ning .umbers of persons gathered around; looked at the blockade of the entrance, up at the windows, and formed themselves into knots to discuss the reason of the failure of their anticipations, and at the end were, if any thing, less satisfied than pre viously. It was pretty generally uwnder- stood that these poor deluded individuals had formed themselves into small parties at their several houses, to comfort and bear each other company in their marinara trip; where private prayer meetings were held, in consequence of the authorities interfering in closing their meet: ing houses to prevent disturbance. The office of the * Midnight Cry,” in Spruce street, was closed throughout the day, so that the latest official intel- ligewce could not be obtained except by the select tew. In the morning some of those outside in De- laney street, argued that we had alreacy received indication of what might be expected by what had recently occurred in Buffalo, and that it might be relied upon that more would be heard in a short time, via the same route ; that there had been sut- ficient indication so far, “in the heavens above and the eartn beneath,” to prove the trut! of what was prophecied to take place ‘a day before or a day after ;” and» one party ably argued as to the exact hour—whether itshould be reckoned by Je- rusalem time or American, seeing that it would make a difference of five or six hours, and lett off as wise as many others with the discussion. Amid all this toil, hubbub, and preparation, we lide thought they were so mindful of our future welfare as the following communication indicates; but it may be supposed, that as we have been Paying a little extra attention to their proeeedings of late, they would look to our’s for the future: New Yorx, Oct. 17, 1844, Dear Sin :—After HME been warned out to train, and now am at leasure, { shall take the liberty of troubling you to peruse a few lines from your brother, for you know that we, are all brothers and sisters, being descend- ed from our parents, Adam and Eve, From him who went to sleep and when he woke up found himself minus one rib, but in the place thercof found a pretty woman whom he called his wife ; now, this woman was no other than that Eve who eat the forbidden fruit, the doing which caused the sentence of death to be passed on the human race—for the good book tells us that by the trans- gression of one, death entered into this ungod!y world of ours.

Margaret Bishop will not secure you a place for the writing of that paragraph in one ot your papers, for it is only the Lord’s good pleasure to give the kingdom to these wh m he shall see fit. If you wish to hear the word of God preached in purity and truth, go to the church corner of Chrystie and Delancy. Remember, that ifthe Lord does not comein the appointed time, there is no truth in the Bible; and I for one will burn my Bible and tur my views, and tell to this world’s people that they with myself have been believing a fable, a book which is nothing but the invention of man, in which there is not one line of divine truth, Remember, that what you have said about our believ- ing a delusion and it bei g fanaticism, has not only form ed one paragraph in your paper but many this week past. We, 93 a people, forgive you, and hope tha* onr Lord an Saviour will forgive you. This is the last time that I shall ever write to you—so the Lord have mercy upon you and the world at large, for that great day of his is at hand even at the door saith the Lord of sbioth. So Ben- nett, farewell. JOHN DODGE, Printer, and once a Compositor in your Office, 14 Mott street, Ole Bull at the Fair. A fresh attraction in the person of the renowned Ole Bull himself, drew thousands to the Fair at Niblo’s yesterday. The slight disappointment which occurred, owing to the indisposition of the great artiste a few days back, served to whet to an inconceiveable degree of keenness the curiosity of the public. Four o’clock was the hour at which his appearance was looked for, but even as early as three, the body and galleries of the great saloon were literally crammed up with spectators, who, between the ardor of their feelings, the intensity of the heat, generated by the closely packed crowd, and a short delay beyond the time when he was expected, became impatient, restive and unruly.— As the orchestra dropped in one by one, at every turn questions were asked, was ithe, and murmurs, and various expressions of impatience at each de- lay. Some amusing remarks were occasionally heard coming from those who were inclined to be facetious, and a few others who thought that mirth might be a good temporary substitute for music. At length the arrival of Ole Bull was in- ficated by sundry industrious efforts of the managing committee, who escored him, te ‘lear a way for him, and loud demonstrations of tpplause greeted his appearance on the end gallery, to which applause he responded by bow- ing several times with much grace and suavity of manner. The Vice President of the American In- stitute here came forward for the good natured, but rather unnecessary purpose of apprizing the vast audience of the persenage whom he was about to introduce tothem, Little further of the address was heard than that his name was (le Bull, and that he was a Norwegian—the rest being drowned in a hurricane of criee for music. A perfect calm tollowed the first sound of the violin, and’a breathless silence prevailed during the performance, which consisted of two picces. On the conclusion of the second one, the President of the American Institute came forward to say that as Ole Bull was notaltogether recovered from his late attack of illness, it would prove too much for him to prolong the performance ; he, theretore, desired him to make a respectful apology to the audience. The crowd immediately after the con- clusion, dispersed. Itdid not require the announcement to inform the audience that Mr. Bull was not eufficiently re- covered to appear and undergo the exertion of a public performance, and it was indiscreet and nardly kind to ask or even permit him to do so, for although there was nothing in the music unworthy of his tame, nothing which could lead his admirers to suspect that he was not “in the vein,” yet the ace clearly denoted indisposition and prostration of the spirits. His appearance under these citcum- stances can only be accounted for by his desire to redeem his promise to the public, and is quite con- sistent with the straight-torwardness and nice sense of honor which mark his character. But what will be done with the money, the pro- ceeds of to-day’s exhibition? A very considerable sum must have been “raised,” and we trust that the tunctionaries who preside over the financial de- partment of the American Institute wiil raise them selves in public estimation by appropriating it to some charitable purpose. None can doubt their ingenuity in Coe | tickets—we should like to see some evidence of their wisdom and benevolence in the disposal of the proceeds. Miuitta Revirw.—There was a etrong force of militia under arms yesterday in Tompkin’s Square, where they were reviewed by General Stryker, accompanied by a brilliant staff. We observed Mayor Harper and several other gentlemen on the ground besides. The troops, when drawn up in line, extended round three sides of the Square, and really presented an imposing appearance to a spectator at a distance, but quite an amusing one to an observer close by. The following is a state- ment of the corps assembled and their respective numbers. The 97:h regiment ot infantry, 300 men, aad the Montgomery Guards, numbering about 30; the 125th regiment, from 200 to 250, and the Ben- sell Guards, 20 to 30; the 285th regiment, 220 strong and the Monroe Blues, about 80; the 82d regiment,197¢h and 236th each from 200 to 250 rank and file. In all, there were fully 1500 men on the ground, of which those uniform companies desig- aated above, looked well at the head of their re- *pective regiments, and appeared to be in a state of high berg = pe eR Sreampoat Accipent.—The steamboat Eureka, on her passage from Bridgeport to this city, broke her shaft, last evening, off Fairfield.

Nothing curious, strange, or wonderful going on atthe White House.

Frrenp Bennetr:— This city was in a great state of excitement last night, owing toa report, which wes not false, that ‘a duel was to take place between Robert Boyce and a Mr. Gewoin, son of one of the ex-Governor’s of the State of Maryland. It appears that Doctor Young, of this city, challenged Dr. Robert Boyce, Mr. Gewoin refused to fight, because, as he said, the Doctor was no gentleman. As a matter of course, the second of Mr. B. was obliged to send hisname, according to the strict rules of what is called honor. They were to meet this, Sunday, morning somewhere. The police got on the scent about 1 o’clock. They ransacked Brown’s hotel, where one of the parties had registered his name, and algo all the other principal hotels in the city, without success, and up to 4 P. M., this day, nothing could: be heard of the parties. The im- preasion is that they crossed into Virginia, owing tothe fact of some four or five officers having gone this morning from Bladenaburgh (the great battle ground) in search of the boys. What the result willbe, isnot asyetknown. My impression is,that it will terminate in the conjugation of the verb “shoot,” as Jack Downing interpreted it, ‘‘shoot— shot,” &c. 5 o i The Exchange hotel in Baltimore 1s decidedly one of the best there. It is kept by Mr. Coleman, whose name, with his associate Mr Allen, is suf- ficient guarantee to satisfy any one of a hearty welcome and good cheer. The Hon. Joel B. Sutherland and Robert Tyler, Esq, left in the cars this evening on their way to Philadelphia. I do think that Robert is ‘the finest fellow that visits the White House. He is decidedly a man of more talent than you havegiven him credit for. Astor his honesty as a politician, no one doubts it who knows him. There has been much complaint made as regards the monopoly, asit is termed here. | mean the rail- road line between Baltimore and Washington, but the fact is,the whole blame rests on the members of the Legislature of Maryland. The State exacts trom the company fifty cents for each passenger carried over this road, and they have tried and tried again toget the Legislature to repeal the law, without success. The verygentlemanly conductors, Mexers. Stack and Clark, show every attention to passengers. P: 8, Brig Philip Hone. To Eprror or N. Y. Heraup:— Dear Sir :— - Having seen a statement in your paper of yer terday, relative to the brig Philip Hone passing a wreck at sea—without any attempt on my part to ascertain her name or condition, I beg leave to contradict this report as being grossly misrepre- sented, and evidently furnished by some person who suffered his ill will towards me to place the matter in a more unfavorable light than the nature of the case demanded. The circumstances were as follows:— REINS On our passage from the Gulf of California to Valparaiso, and when about a day’s sail fromthe latter port, I saw from the deck a dark object en the water about three or four miles dead to wind- ward, to which I called the attention of the man on the fore-top-gallant yard, who after examina- tion pronounced it to be a dead whale. I then went aloft myself and examined the object for about half an hour with the glass, and satisfied myself that it was not a wreck,as no sparts,rigging, or any signs of lile were to be seen attached to 11 Judge Huger, of South Carolina, decides on retaining his seat in the Senate of the U.

Great numbers of students are pouring in from all parts of the Union, and at both colleges the classes will be very crowded during next session. The classes open next week, and the introductory lectures will be given. We shall report such of them as present topics of general interest. In medical literature also, as well as in medical education, New York now begins to take the lead. A sort of monopoly in medical books has been for some time possessed by the Philadelphia publishers. But the Harpers have now entered the field, and have already issued several standard works, such as “Cruvelhier’s Anatomy,” ‘* Magendie’s Physi- ology,” from the latest foreign editions, enriched by notes by the Professors in our schools, and at much lower prices than were charged for the for- mer editions, From all these circumstances, we are led to anticipate a new and brilliant era in medical education and literature in this country. ev, 95 Nassau st. » 8.
