‘Wednesday, October 30, 1844. _ The Prospects before us, In a few days the Presidential question will be determined. Before the close of next week we shall all probably know who has been elected Pre- sident of the United States—whether Mf. Clay of Mr. Polk. This is really a cheering prospect. For six months past the country has been in a state of the greatest excitement. Tumult—bustle —agitation—paasion—violence—-blasphemy—vitu- peration—slander—forgery ; ell the disturbing ele- ments of fierce political tion have been at work on every side. All intelligent and patriotic men have been disgusted, and the country has been exhibited in such an attitude as justly to pre- voke the sneers and ridicule of all foreign civi- lized nations. But the gratifying prospect is now before us of seeing, at the end of ten days, a com- plete cessation of all this turmoil, and the com- mencement of a period of three or four years of peace, prosperity and repose. It matters little which of the two candidates gains the triumph. It is highly probable that the House of Representa tives will be-democratic, and the Senatewhig ; and whether Mr. Clay or Mr. Polk occupy the Presidential chair, is a matter of no sort of conse- quence #o far as regards the great interests and progress of the country during the next three cr four years. This, then, is the prospect before us. We are now iu the midst of the Red Sea; in a very few days to emerge from that turbulent ocean, once more to breathe the pure and bracing air of the wilderness —not of sin—but of good times, plenty of trade, universal industry, and unexampled prosperity. Probably the next three years, betore avother Pre- sidential election comes round, will be the most prosperous period with which this country has ever yet been blessed. More fortunes will be made, greater advances in all the arts and refinements of civilization will be gained, an“ a larger amount of general national happiness flow over the land, than many at this moment can imagine. Enterprises beyond number, are now in the bud, awaiting the cessation of the present storm, to burst forth into wondrous life and energy. On all sides we shall behold the unexampled natural advantages of this great land, seized upon and employed with fresh, untiring and successful zeal. It 18 a very fortunate thing for the whole population that the closeness of this contest will prevent Congress from interfering, in any mu- terial way, with the interests of the country, by any injudicious or ridiculous legislation. We must have a tariff to raise revenue to pay the expenses of the government ; and all, with the ex- ception of a few abstractionists, are in favor of a good thumping tariff, to pay all that may be neces- sary, and have something over. We do not want a bank, nor is there any probability that, should Mr. Clay be elected, there will be a bank. », The State Banke throughout the country conduct their affurs much better now than formerly, and we have no doubt will continue to do so, under the searching and vigilant surveilance of the press — Manufactures are flourishing. The agricultural juterest is flourishing. In spite of all the lamenta. tions and absurdities of politicians, we verily be. lieve that the country was never more prosperous than} at this moment, and that when the vie- lence of political agitation subsides, and the public mind becomes righted, and morals, decency, and propriety resume their sway, this prosperity will increase an hundred fold during the next four years. We shallthen have time to devote our- selves tothe arts and sciences—to the improve- ment of industry—to the enlargement of our com- merce—to the education of our youth, and to the establishing and beautifying of this great republic —the home of outlawed liberty—the sanctuary of persecuted religion—the garden of the world, and greatly favored heritage of the free! Tue French Meeting ris Evenine.—For the first time since the patriotic Lafayette laid aside the sword which earned such glory in the war of the American Revolution, the French citi zens of this country have now etepped forward in- to the political arena, and announce a meeting at the corner of Lispenard street this evening, for the purpose of deliberating whether Mr. Clay or Mr. Polk is best entitled to their suffrages. This is another new element in the present contest, and it is one of no mean value and importance. The French adopted citizens number many thousands, and their vote must exercise a powerful influence. As the probability is that most, if not all the speeches and proceedings will be in the French language, we shall send both French and English reporters, and if possible, give a full account next The lecture of M. M. Noah, at the Tabernacle, on Monday evening last, was the most extraordi- fary—the most unblushing—and the most insult- ing attack on Christianity—that has ever been at- tempted. Without the slightest ceremony, he stripped the divine founder of the Christian taith of all claims to. Godhead, and reduced him toa evel with Joe Smith, or any other imposter. The attempt has, it is true, been often made, to degrade the Savior of the world to a level with a mere bu- man social retormer, and thus to rob the Christian faith of its very essence—thesource of all its omni- potence and triumph—and the foundation of all the hopes of the Christian world for the last eighteen hundred years. But the attempts have, heretofore, at least in our day, been marked by some degree of ingenuity and some show of decency. The most rabid infidelity itself has been of late obliged to conduct its attacks on the citadel of Christianity with apparent philosophic calmness and sobriety But in the assault of M. M. Noah there is as Jittle delicacy as philosophy. The occasion selected for the attack—its whole style and manner, and the object sought to be gained by it—all discovered a contempt for the feelings of the Christian commu- nity, a disregard of every principle of propriety, an absence of philosophic dignity or acumen, and a ally aud obtrusive egotism, alike reprehensible and characteristic of the man, Letus briefly state the sum and substance of this singular business. Stimulated by excessive vani- ty, and a fidgetty ambition to engage the public eye, an individual steps forward as the special ad- vocate and deliverer of the Hebrew race, and suni- mons the christian community to hear his an- nouncement ot a project for the restoration of that remarkable and interesting people to the land of their fathers. He collects a large audience, and thus addre:ses them:—‘‘Christians, that Jesus whom you worship was an impostor—a humbug— an'impertinent fellow who,'under the pretence of a miesion from Heaven, created considerable popu- lar tumult in Jerusalem and the land of Judea He was very properly arrested, tried, condemned, and put to death under the Jewish law. In this en- lightened day he would inall probability have been more mercifully dealt with; but as it is, you are blindly adhering to a system of imposture. We are the descendants of the men who convicted and ex- ecuted this impostor. We have unfortunately and unjustly been deprived of ourancient heritage. Will you have the goodness to aid usin regaining it? In return,we shall be very happy to give you a genuine creed and a respectable faith.’ Few educated minds, however deeply and unhappily prejudiced against Christianity, could have meditated such an assault; we doubt whether one other individual could be tound able to attempt it. The history and condition of the Jews have always been subjects of great interest. The re- mote antiquity of the race—their occupying for so many ages such a conspicuous place in thejapnale of the world,fin consequence! ot their superior ¢ lization and intelligence—their prie-thood being made the depositories of revelations from heaven— the appearance amongst them in fulfilment of the prophecies of their seers, of the Saviour of the world—the remarkable circumstances attendant on the establishment of the Christian faith on the ruins of Judaism—the destruction of the Holy city—the dispersion of the tribee—theirisolated condition, apa stedfast resistance to Christian civilization, ali these things have conspired to give to the Jewish people surpassing interest. In every age since the destruction of Jerusalem, individuals have been springing up amongst the Jews, impressed with the idea that the time of deliveranc+ had come, and that the return fromn the captivity was at hand, and from the strong and universal interest felt by Christians in the Hebrew race, the movements, declarations and projects of these men have al- ways commanded great attention, The study of the prophecies, relative to the Jews, and calcula- tions relative to the commencement of the mille- nium, have always been pet subjects with the most popular of the Christiaa clergy, and equally the favorites of the peeple. Hence it was easy tor Mr. Noah to collect a large audience.— Christian curiosity was anxious to hear what a Hebrew had to say on these matters. But as to the project of Mr. Noah itself, it was just the puerile, childish scheme to be expected from such a quarter. He does not rise from the level of Parson Miller. His “ lecture’ was con- fnsed, contradictory, and powerless. He clearly discovered himself to be a man groping in the dark, rather than an intelligent, philosophic stu dent of the great subject which evidently lies s far beyond his gratp. He is still, it is quite plain, the same perhaps well intentioned, but childish and weak man, who made his appearance some years ago, on Grand Island, attired in habiliments bor- New ¥« morning. rowed from the wardrobe of the Park x theatre, and called on the Jews through- —The Courier g Enquirer ? War wirm Exouanp.—The ¢ out the world to repair to that spot as a has anumber of extracts from various speakers, de- claring themselves in favor of Polk and Dallas, from which that journal endeavors to show, that shou!d the democratic party be successful, a wer with England would ia all probability ensue, from difficulties arising out of the Texas and Oregon questions. 1t is certainly very singular how theese political editors, speakers, and writers, do contra- dict themselves, and make every thing they say yerfectly absurd. Here we have had the Courier laboring for along time past to show the necessity of electing Mr. Clay, in order to sustain a high tariff policy, and thereby benefit the manufacturers of this country. Very well. Thereis no objection to that view of the matter. But yet the Courier fails tosee that by its own showing that if the elec* tion of Mr. Polk was to bring about a war with Engiand, that event would do more to benefit the manufacturers of this country than all the high tariffs that ever could be enacted. A war between this country and England would throw the whole of the market into the hands of American manufacturers, and therefore it is much more probable that the manufacturers, who are looking ahead, are just as likely to vote for Mr Polk as for Mr. Clay, in order to benefit their own industry. If forty, fifty, sixty, or any other per centage, by excluding foreign manufactures, is to benefit domestic industry and labor, 1t would cer tainly be much more beneficial to get up a war and exclude them altogether. “city of retuge.” That locality did indeed pos- sess considerable advantages for the prosecution of contraband trade, but the project did not suc- ceed. The enly sequence from it, that we know of, was the beard ot the Prophet Matthias—for it is an historical fact that that imposing appendage to the chin of the impostor, and his revelation, both dated from the evacuation of Grand Island by Mr Noah, with his trunk of calico and tinsel. Well then, the Grand Island scheme did notsuc- ceed, and now Mr. Noah makes another effort to restore the ancient glories of race. He brings to the tas the same vulgar mind, the same low ambition, and the same narrow capacity, as of old Were Palestine offered to the Jews to-morrow, would they return thither? We trow not. Chat- ham street and Monmouth street will still resound with the classic click-cligk of their peculiar traffic, industrious and early rising men will still glide gently through the equares of large cities, uttering sounds mysterious as they pass along—gilded balls will still mark the entrance to dim and dingy de- positories of penury and vice—Rothchilds will stil Jean against the pillar of the Stock Exchange, and mahap silly old men of antedeluvian mame, will still retail twaddle at 25 cents ahead till a mightier revolution than the world has yet known, shakes Christendom to its uttermost extremities, and give, indeed, to all men, Jew and Gentile, a new hea- ven and a new earth. That that day will come, who that understands aright the past and the pre- sent,can deny? When, and how it will come, who can foretell?” We have said somewhat more than we at firet intended of Mr. Noah and kis lecture, and perhaps more than the subject deserves. But we have done with it. His whole scheme is an absurdity—a pue- Croseness of tHe Contest.—The following table will show the extreme closeness of the pre- sent contest, as compared with that of 1840. In seven States, numbering over a million of voters, there is a difference of only about 4000. ~rtate Prntinieta~ rile—a weak absurdity.

Amenican Instrrurs.—For afew days past we have received a number of communicatiens from different parties, complaining and exposing the un- just ana partial way in which the premiums have been awarded at the close of the Fair last week — Tt is not necessary for us to fill our columns with these complaints; were we to do so we should not have room for the general news of the day. These complaints occur every year, and they are treated by those who have the mis management of thear matters with the most ineffible contempt. Thi mus! necessarily lead to the establishment of ano- ther institution that will be better conducted. Ne- thing else can remedy these evils; an institution in the hands of honorable men who will do their duty to "the community, the country, and them- selves. Doctor Larpyer.—Dr. Lardner intends to give a leciure on “the history and progress of the arts during the present century.” It will be the most interesting and instructive discourse delivered in this city for a long time past. The subject is one of great interest, The arts have made greater pro- gress during the last twenty five years than almost furing the preceding twenty-five centuries, Dr Lardner wiil illustrate this, and point out the in- fluence thus exercised on civilization and human happiness and the advancement of the race. Common Covncr..—It will be seen that the oard of Aldermen have commenced the adop tion of a Police Bill, and will continue it on Thursday evening. M. M. Noah and the Restoration of the Jews: | Satz or Tux Ciry.—Great fears begin to be entertained, by the most respectable and quiet in- habitants of this city, that the announced meetings, processions, &e., will lead to some violent ovt+ break, which will disgrace the character of the city. There is some foundation for such tears ; but we hepe and trust that the Mayor and other authorities will exert themselves to prevent such from taking place. If the different clubs and cliques\tare left,to themselves, there is every likeli- hood of an outbreak, such as would net only dis- grace the city, but the country at large, But there is a moral check to such—it is in the hands of the city authorities, backed by the well-digposed of the community. The first movement that is made to- wardsan outbreak, at that moment muet the Mayor and other authorities call to their aid the civil and military powers to pat it down, or else such scenes will disgrace our streets as have done those of Philadelphia within the last ew months. The in- troduction of religious passions and feelings is more likely to lead to disastrous consequences than any thing else; it theretore behoves every minister to advise his flock to observe with calmness every outbreak which this crisis 1s likely to bring forth, and all will soon pass away. It is of far less mo- ment who is President or member of Congress,than that the city should be disgraced by a lawless mob. Courtsstes or Po.itics.—We do occasionally meet with an incident which relieves in some degree thejasperities of political conflict, and casts a brilliant though fleeting radiance on the dark ang troubled scene. Of this pleasing character was the scene at Nashville some weeks since, when the beautiful Jadies of that city presented a very splendid silk banner to} Mr. Gansevoort Melville of this city, on his return to the north, in token of their approbation of his zealous efforts in the cause of the democracy. This banner is a very elegant one—chaste and beautiful as those from whose fair hands it came. On one side 1s emblazoned an eagle with a scroll, on which is inscribed—‘* The Home of the Hickories—to the Empire State: to Gansevoort Melville—from the Ladies of Ten- nessee.” On the reverse are the ‘Stara and Stripes” and the ‘Lone Star” of Texas. The possessor of such a gift is indeed a fortunate man. Arkansas Election. 1844, mn 140 Dem. Dem. Whig. Dem. Whig. sea Drew. Byrd. Gibson, Vid.

In the Courier §& Enquirer it was stated that the charge preferred against Bishop Onderdonk was licentiousness; and we see in another paper, that the Bishop has joined issue upon the accusation, and will probably take measures to have an inves tigation at once. As this movement involves a very importan! question of morals, affecting the standing of thr dignitariesjin the Episcopal Church, it will no doubt produce a great deal of talk and discussion in the community. We have seen what noise and excitement was produced by the «ffiir of Bishoy Onderdonk, of Pennsylvania, and knowing nothing about the matter further than report, we may ex pect the same in relation to the other Bishop On- derdonk. We seem to have fallen upon strange times of the world, indeed. Every day, every week, are we astounded with some new deve- lopment affecting the character and reputation, and moral and religious standing of the clergy. When is there to be anend to this? When are weto look for a general reformation? Canava Exscrions.—The elections to the Provincia! Parliament are proceeding more peaceably than was anti- cipated. The Canada Papers have returns of 12 conservative or government members elected in Upper Canada; 1 radical or anti-go nt, and 1 doubtful. In Lower Canada 10 conserva 3 radicals, 2 doubtful. The number of members to which each Province is en- titled ia 42 We take the above from the Albany Advertiser of yesterday. There appears to be some mystifi- cationjin the classification of the politics of the candidates. In the Montreal Herald, a loyalist po- per, the members favorable to the policy of Sir Charles Metcalfe are set down as conservatives, while in the Montreal Pilot, a bitter opposition journal, most of the so called conservatives and 3e- veral of the radicals, are styled reformers. We see that Papineau is called a conservative in one place and a tory in another, and La Fontaine a reformer and a radical. This may all mean the same thing, and if so,’it is purely Canadian. At any rate, the loyalists seem the strongest just now. Fasnionaste Movements.—Shopping in Broad- way is considered among the elite of this city and neighborheod one of the most fashionable occupa- tions of the fair portion of the community on a fine day; and has been the means of giving to Broad- way that fame which has spread throughout the world. A new species of fashionable lounge has been introduced into this locality, namely—the auction stores. A few days since, it may be recol- lected, there was a very numerous and fashionable attendance ata sale of Shawls. Another jam ef these fashionables is likely to take place, ona like occurrence, in a few days hence, at the large room of the Apollo, 410 Broadway, by Messrs. Ludlow & Co., when a great sale of Broche Cashmere Shawls, of the most unique description is announ- ced to take place, that has ever been offered, which will doubtless bring the ladies out in great num bers. At the recent sale some of a similar descrip- tion sold tor five hundred dollars, and the same are sold in the shops in Broadway for 800 to 1000 dol lars. All the articles thus sold are second hand having been previously worn by the princesses o! of the blood royal in the East. Not only are they second-hand, but im many instances, thira and fourth hand—no matter, whether they are or not— they are none the worse for having graced the shoulders of Princess Hymluchinafa, beyond the femalaya Mountains, or even the shoulders‘of Queen Victoria herself. From LaGuayna.—We are indebted to Captai: Dunham, of the brig Selim, for advices from Lu Guayra to the 18th inst. The market was entirely destitute of either hides or coffee, and over-stock ed with all kinds of American produce. Th: breakwater at La Guayra had progressed, unde: the manag: ment of Capt. J. J.

Burr, of the Sea Bird, arrived last aight, after a passage of fifty-two days reports the harbor of Rio Grande to have been filled with vessels of all nations at the time he sailed, and that the market was completely glutted with all kinds of American produce, Acoipent.—On tae 234 ina'., Daniel Sullivan was lost overboard trom the pilot-boat Thomas H Smith, about ten miles off Sandy Hook.

It seems to be thi eral opinion in Walt street that this concern must fall through, andjthe stock afloat become worthless, We do not see how the p.rties who pur- chased this canal, under the mortgage, can raise the amount to pay what they promised, unless the old stosk. holders come forward and pay up the instal ment on each share as proposed. They undoubtedly dejvended upon this resource to meet their engagements, and this failing, we see no other way but to alwnd:n the purchase, and allow. the representative of the Dutch loan to take it for the amount offered, viz: nine hundred thousand dollars.

This Morris Canal at present is the principal feature int the stock market, and the enormous decline experiences! within a few days past, leads many holders te theconclu- sion thot the old stock is about good for nothing. Consid- erable discussion‘took place to day at the old board in re- lation to the time sales of this stock, made prev ous to the ‘21st inst., and the conclusion arrived at was, that those to whom ‘tock wasdue, or who had obligated themaclvesto take stock, abandoned the whole, unless they wished to pay up the twenty-five dollars per share, in whieh ease the stock was to bedelivered. It would no doubt, Ne very gratifying to many, could they see any way by which the canal could te made productive, and it would no doubt be semething more than they anticipate.
