NEW YORK HERALD. 31, 1844. New York, Thursday, October "veal 6 saa | ‘The Election Returns, lu a few days we will begin to receiveghe elec tion returns of the great Presidential contest. The first elections take place in Pennsylvania and Ohio, and the returns of the election in Pennsylvania will, of course, be the first received, aud will begin to come upon us on Saturdayund Sunday, and con- tinue coming in for a few days afterwards. We have made every arrangement to procure the earliest and most accurate returns, knowing their great importance, and the intense anxiety which will exist in the public mind respecting them. Aud we are pretty confident that the public will repose faith in our honesty, and believe us when we say that we will make no attempt upon their oredulity, or on the credulity of either party. For some days past the party prints of this city have been publishing statementy in which they declare that they have arranged expresses to run from Pennsylvania with the returns, and that they mean to publish them at once. We beg the public to understand that no dependence can be placed on ny of those declarations—or any of those expresses— or in any of the returns publtsncwe 4» the vartizan newspapers. Grors fabrications will be issued from the partizan offices, both parties claiming Pennsyl- vania inorder to influence public opinion in this city and in this State. We shall publish no ex- tras with returns every half hour or two hours; but when we have intelligence, on which we can ely implicitly, and of such a character as to re- quire immediate publication, we shall issue it in order to relieve the public anxiety, and give our readers in town and country the full benefit of our enterprise and carefulness. of The most atrocious falsehoods, in re- Therefore, let all beware of the party pri both sides. lation to the returns, will be published. The most impudent claims will be put forth without scruple. But the only papers to be depended upon are those which, like the Herald, are independent of all par- ties and all factions, and all influences, except re- gard for truth and honesty, and which, with every disposition to do justice to all parties, can tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, regardlessjot every other thing on the face of the earth. News for Europe. This afternoon at 3} o’clock, the letter bags of the Acadia, tor Liverpool, close in this city. We sball, therefore, issue a second edition of the He- rald at 30’clock, with all the news that may arrive this morning. Grand Whig Movements—First Step in the Dissolution of the Whig Party—Probable Triumph of Henry Clay yet. ; We are on the eve of revolution—restoration— dissolution—and every thing thatthe most fertile imagination can conceive. From the symptoms presenting themselves around us at every turn and almost every moment, we are gradully forming the deliberate opinion that the whig party ison the eve of utter and fina} dissolution; and strange enough, that at the same time the election of Mr. Clay is farJmore probable than it has been presented to our mental vision for many months past. Let us come to particulars. To the midst of a proud whig procession, of mul- titudinous length—and a full account of which, with an engraving, representing a portion of it at one of the turna of the Park, will be found in another portion of this day’s paper—and while the inspiring music and loud huzzas were echoing in the crowded streets—and all this pomp and pa- geantry, we heard the still small voice whispering that this was to be the last public display of the whig party in the United States, and that the first symptom of this ‘‘dry rot” in this highly respecta- ble party—ef a “‘caving in” of all the elements that had agitated the country for so many years—was to be found inthe declaration of Hiram Ketchum, the principal candidate of the whigs for the Senate in this district, withdrawing his name—abandoning the field—and giving way entirely tothe ‘‘Na- tive” party herein the approaching election, thereby showing that the process of dissolu- tion and decay has .commenced, as it very naturally ought to commence, in the most rotten quarter, and that while the whig party will be absorbed within the bowels of the “ natives” it is highly probable that the result will be a majority ot from eight to ten thousand in favor of Mr. Clay, ensuring for him this city and Statc, provided the nativee and whigs can be perfectly united— provided,” recollect. ‘The utter and final abandonment of the whig candidates by the whig party we never expected to see thus publicly announced. And yet the thing is done. It is announced in all the whig papers of yesterday. Here it isas it appears in the Tribune:— Ma. Kercoum Wirnorawn.—At the meeting held last in the mre Reformed peer fo leecker Summblod to hear Mr. Ketebtim’ ropest ‘hie Add School Questien. Alderman Mandeville was called to the chair. In delivering his address, he oc- cupied about an hour anda half—in which, as on former occasions, he exhorted his audience not to vote for any man to represent this city in the Legislature ef the State, on whom they could not rely to advocate such an amena- |" ment of the School Law as would Schools to their ancient ey remarks, he then said substantially as follo It may bene and somewhat indelicate, fellow- citizens, that I should urge you to vote for itable candi. dates to represent you e State Legislature, when | myself, it is well known, have been made a candidate by the whig party. It is true that, without any solicitation, direct or implied, on my part, I'was put in nomination for the office of State Senator. I consented to allow my name to be used, but, upon the most mature deliberatiun, and without consultation with any political friends, I'now deem it my duty to withdraw that name. My reasons for this step are these: The course which I have seen fit to take on the School Question, dictated by a strong sense of duty, has, doubt- restore the Public In concluding his Jess, arrayed st me all my fellow-citizens of the Ro- man Catholic denomination. While they are certain to vote just m3, the Protestant voters of the community are div! into three parts. First, Those who belong to the democratic party, and who act with the Reman Catholics. Secondly, Those who act with the American Republi- can y, who, itis presumed, will vote for their own candidate. ‘Thirdly, Those who belong to the whig party, who, if they vote for their own cai ite, the Roman Catholics will probably succeed, I think they eught not te succeed, and should be very sorry hereafter, to reflect, that my re- maining a candidate had contributed to that success. | therefore hereby respectfully withdraw my name asa candidate for the office of State Senator for the First — District, and request that no citizen will give his vote for me. This is the first movement of the whigs towards utter dissolution. The Tribwne sees this, and takes some exceptions to the movement, and declares that they won’t accept the abandonment of Mr. Ketchum, until the whig committee authoritative- ly instruct them. But the Express, and other pa- pers, seem to acquiesce in the movement, and it is highly probable that Mr. Phceaix, Mr. Fish, and all the other Congressional and State candidates, will follow the example of Mr. Ketchum. It is well kaown that at the last apring election, when the “natives” carried the Corporation by a vote of 24,000, the whigs polled about 8000 for Mr. Frank- lin. If, therefore, by the entire abandonment of the ticket—and Mr. Phoenix and the others must submit to abandonment if they wish to see Mr. Clay elected—the whole of the whigs unite with the “natives,” the “native” ticket will be carried in this city by a majority of probably nine or ten thousand. And if the matter be properly understood, and the movement be conducted with the same skill and tact which have marked its progress thus far, the State may be carried for Mr. Clay by near- ly the same majority. * ach is the remarkable position of things in this cuty Sach is the change which afew short days have-wrought. Sach, yesterday, was the last pro- cession that the whig party will ever make here, and such js the position of the Presidential ques- tion—hanging by a single hair. We are perfectly satisfied, from inspecting ull the returns and popu- lar movements, that if Mr. Clay is to be eleeted President-—-of which he has just as good a chance as Mr. Polk it will be by his personal popularity running a heed of that of his party-~it will be by his own personal elements of success transcending those of his party, and carrying him triumphantly, in the same way as General Harrison was carried in 1840. If such turn out to be the ease—and the first returns from Pennsylvania will give a signifi- cant warning one way or the other—will we not be justified in maintaining that Mr. Clay has as good a chance as Mr. Polk, and perhaps a better chance? la the meantime, let us glance at the moral evolved amid all this confusion—dissolution and panic amongst the whig party! Here Mr. Ketch- um has commenced the backing out and the caving in. ‘The others must follow. This is the last—the death-struggle of the whig partyin the northern states, and after this, whoever be the President, the whig party will be heard of no more. Then it will be nothing but ‘ democrats,” or “abolitionists,” or ‘natives.’ And in this annihilation of-the whig party we are taught an impressive lesson. Their vidlence—their folly— their impudence—their persecutions —and ail their atrocious abuse, which have so characterized them and endangered the election of one of the most Ulstingwichod statesmen of this country—we mean Henry Clay—will long be reisembered amongst the politicians of the day. We are yet in hopes that Mr. Clay’s own popularity will be found greater than that of his party, and eustain him in that moment of extreme peril to which he has been brought by his friends. But that we will clearly see on the first returns from Pennsylvania. In fact, they will decide the whole question. How Sranps tue Empire Crry t—Prodigious efforts are making by the two old and rotten par- ties—the whigs and Jocofocos—to catch and con- ciliate the “natives,” and salt them down for their several Presidential candidates. The whigs are abandoning their local tickets, and going over en masse to the “natives.” The locofocos take a dif- ferent course—they hollow for the ‘‘natives” to come over to them—and a meeting for that pur- pose is to be held this afternoon in the Park, in which they will hollow like bulls of Bashan. It will be a funny affair, this—and on i: may depend the result in this city. If all the “natives” and whigs were to go together, Clay would have a ma- jority of 10,000 here in New York. But if the ‘‘na- tives” divide on the Presidency, it may produce a tie, or give Polk a majority of 3000. One thing is certain, the “native” local, tickets will be elected by tremendous majorities. We are full of fun in New York. “Cruger anp WirE.”—We continue in this day’s paper the publication of this important case, which we have given atgreat length in consequence of the view presented of the relative rights ot hus- band and wife—a subject not sufficiently under- stood. The case 12, indeed, extremely interesting and important in a legal point of view, independent of the interest arising from the fact of the parties being of the highest respectability in this city, and of course well known in certain circles, amongst which the case will be regerded with great atten- tion. ComPLimenTary BENEFIT TO MADEMOISELLE Bgz- JARDINS AND Monsigur Martin.—These two wor- thy artistes are worthy of every patronage and en- couragement in their endeavours to introduce the ballet in its purity to this country, although hither- to they have not been so successful in pecuniary matters as they ought to have been, they never having received the slightest remuneration for their endeavours and exertions at Palmo’s Opera House, whereby they have lost all theirtime and expenses, It is to be hoped that on this oecasion they will be benefitted in some degree for the former exertions. The entertainments promise to be worthy of every ssupport. There are engaged for the occasion, Signora Borghese, Signor Perozzi, Signor Sanqui- rico, Monsieur Bley, Signor Rappetti, Mons. Au- pick, Mr. Charles Parsloe, Mrs. Timm, Mr. John Dunn, and Mr. P. F. Williams, with the whole of Mr. Corbyn’s talented company. These are surely sufficient to command success. ¢ Late From St. Jaco pg Cusa.—The fast sailing schr. Velasco, Capt. Seeley, arrived yesterday from St. Jago with advices to the 9th inst. American ptoduce of all kinds was plenty and low. Tobacco was scarce, and very high, owing to the dry season. There had been a great quantity of rain within the last two weeks, which was very much wanted, as the sugar cane had become nearly burnt up. In one of the papers we find an account of the death of Michael Mahon, Esq., of Philadelphia, for many years Consul of the United States for the port of St. Jago de Cuba.-- He was universally re- spected. Tue West Inpixs.—Captain Coursen, of the Forest, from Nassau, N. P., reports, that the inha- bitants of Rum Key were in a state of starvation, having nothing to subsist on but roots and shell fish, which they picked up along the shore. Captain Fitzgerald, of the Two Brothers, from Baracoa in ten days, reports, that the drought had been very severe throughout the island, and that the fruit crop had been a failure. Trotrine Matcn over THE Bracon Coursr, Honoxen.—There is to be an interesting match this day over the above ground for 1000 doilars, between the New York horse, Sir William, and the Philadelphia horse, Hector. two other good contests, between animals who have done some service during the past season.— See advertisement. Theatricals, de. Mavaste Anxoutt axp Stanon anv Stawona CaseLua, —These talented artists have been very successful in their endeavors throughout their recent Northern tour. They were at Boston on Saturday evening Inst, and Igave a Concert at the Odeon Theatre, Boston, and it appears gave great delight to a highly discri- mineting and fashionable audience. The papers say that ‘Madame Arnoult is a vocalist of rare merit. She pos sesses a beautiful and highly cultivated voice, and uses it with exquisite taste and delicacy. She looks and sings like a lady, but it is impossible to listen to her without feeling that though she may deserve whatever can be said in her fayor as an artist, she is entitled to much higher praise for having shown so much courage and devotion asa woman. No one can attend her concerts without be. ing alike delighted byher talent and interested in her suc cess.” Signor Cagella’s performance onthe Violoncello, was most masterly, and listened to with breathless atten- tion. Many passages were startlingly effective and ap plauded tothe echo. His tones were remarkable for their fullness and purity; his whole soul appearing wrapped and absorbed by his theme. Signora Casella, as a pianist, must take high rank. She played the accompaniments with excellent taste and judgment. Mr. Henry Phillips is proving very successful in Bos- ton—the Handel and Hayden Society had a large meeting on Sunday, evening last, at the Melodeon Theatre, when the Creation was performed, in which Mr. Phillips was greatly admired. The Boston papers tats, that on Saturday evening Miss Elizabeth Sloman made her fourth appearance at the Me- lodeon, end gained fresh laurels from a brilliant and dis- criminating audience. This lady and her sister are now at New Bedford, The National Theatre, Boston Museum and Circus are all doing a prosperous business, and theatricals are evi- dently looking up in the “ literary metropolis.” ‘The Swiss Bell Ringers are amusing the people of New Bedford. Mary Ann Lee, the pretty iittle dansense, is about to start for Paris, to finish her education in the use of the “ light fantastic.” Howes and Mabies’ Equestrian Company are at Ma con, Ga, There are also} Grand Whig Procession passing Broadway round the -Park. -. ‘The Monster Whig Demonstration of yestcr. day—Large Procession—Immense Enthusi- asm—Rows—The Meetings in the Evening Increased Bxcitement=—The Last Grand Rally of the Whigs of New York. This grandjdemonstration,which, during the last month has called forth the active energies and un- tiring exertions of the great body of the whig party, in order to make it effective, came off yesterday, and produced [considerable excitement throughout the entire city; not alone amongst the immediate partizans of the whig cause, but amongst the mass- es in general composing the great body of their op- ponents, who flocked forward and lined the streets in many parts, with evident anxiety; in order to make their calculations as the procession moved along, as to the probable result of the mighty con- test which is now nearly at its height, and absorbs every energy of the national mind. The ‘ blush- ing aurora” ushered in the dawn without a single cloud to mar the prospects of the whig candidates ; or cause a transitory gloom upon the brow of the most sanguine of the whigs. A bright blue sky—a bracing, exhiliarating light breeze—the “‘ busy pre- paration”’ observable in any and every part of the city, no matter where the eye may wander—gave effect to the early part of the proceedings; while long before the appointed hour, were to be seen, horses, cabs, carts, wagons, detached groups of the various clubs that were to form in procession run- ning to and fro, to some quarter of the city, on some errand, or to receive their instructions for the day from some of their leaders. So early as 10 o’clock, the side-walks near Battery Place and Bowling Green, were crowded to excess, and the crowd increased up to 11 o’clock, so as to extend along Broadway at either side down to the Park, as far as Chambers street, groups of anxious specta- tors having lined Broadway to this extent. The rude joke and derisive sneer from some democrat, with a solitary cheer for Polk and Dallas, might occasionally be heard, as some branch association moved along towards the place of rendezvous, at Battery Place, up to the hour of 12 o’clock; while the bustle of omribuses, cabs, and foot-passengers, in crossing this crowded thoroughfare te some branch street, fed the eye of the unxious looker on, and occasioned much merriment, on his wit- nessing an escape, perhaps from a broken limb or a dislocated shoulder, amid the indescribable bustle and confusion that almost generally pre- vailed. At 12 o’clock, the Granp Maxsnat, General Freperick Pentz, rode up towards the Bowling Green, dressed in a cocked hat, and wore a large red scart suspended across the breast from the left shoulder. He was accompanied by the following gentlemen,who acted as special aids, each dressed in a cocked hat and wearing a white silk band suspended from the left shoulder: Gen. Geo. S. Doughty, Gen. Matthew Keeler, Colonel Florence Mohoney, Capt. Jno. T. Allen, Col. Kobt. C. Wetmore, Col. Wm. Jones, Major A. K. Post. The Division Marshals followed ; and a large ea- cort, con: ng of twenty-six delegates, represent- ing the different States, each mounted on white horses, and bearing the name of their State upon a white badge which hung from the shoulder, who were succeeded by a large cavalcade, consisting of numerous State delegates. This body formed the first division and led the procession up Broadway amid immense cheering, waving of handkerchiefs from the ladies in many of the windows and from the balconies. A very beautiful wreath, in which was beautifully worked the name of Mr. Clay, was suspended from one of the windows inthis vicinity, opposite which the crowd loudly cheered. Asplen- did flag,on which was inscribed the pames of “Clay and Frelinghuysen,” was suspended across Broad- way from the ‘‘ Clay Committee Room,” near the Express office, and various wreaths of flowers, en- circling some well executed pertraits of Mr. Clay, were exhibited from the windows of some ot the houses. The first division was succeeded by two carriages, in which were some delegates from the District of Columbia. They were fallowed by an immense {wagon drawn by six milk white horses, from which the following banners were displayed : 000000000000000000000090000000000000000 HOBOKEN WAGON. ° Sebedewsdoncescnccoobonsboeccsdtonocees 00000000000010000000000000000000 300000 JERSEY WAGON, crn STOCKTON STEAM. 0 Protection ro Amenican Inpustry. 0 ° ° 000000000000000000000000000000000000000 900000000000000000000000000000000000000 ° o CAPT.
