NEW YORK HERALD. Tus Wak vor THE Succession AND THE SporLs Acreapy Broxen Our.—The battle of the factions has already broken out. Vike rival companies of banditti, agajnst.some common foe, and who, in the moment of attack, fought harmoniously shoul- der to shoulggg,,but give full vent to ther mutual and selfish animosities on gainidg possession of the plunder, the cliguesoftheDemocracy are already at open war. The Globe, on the very eve of victo- ry, is moving on the part ef Mr. Benton of Missouri, who was so furiously opposed to the Tyler treaty of annexation. This article is replied to by the Madisonian, in a strain of curiously mingled in- vective and affected calmness. It accusesthe Globe of a wanton and deliberate renewal of the attacks on Captain Tyler, and reptesents the object of the assault to be, the assumption of the control of the Democracy. But the Madisonian modestly states that it will not return the blow until the “whole Democracy ot the Union be convinced of the fla- grant provocations of Mr. Blair,” and arrive at the charitable conclusion that there is an absolute ** necessity of flaying” that gentleman alive. The Madisonian then goes on to avsert that the “ an- nexation treaty” had the warm support of General Jackson, and that it must and shall have that of Colonel Polk. Thus has the war commenoed at Washington in a very promising spirit of bitterness and malignity. The fac- tions will no doubt now very rapidly arrange them- selves into grand divisions, the Calhoun and Van Buren, er the North and South democracy. The ” first great subject of contest will be the right and | mercbont of this cit title to Mr. Polk. Never in days of old did the chivalry of tented field contend so fiercely for the stcoo rival factions for the indeed, lead a troubled life at the White House—far more uneasiness, anxiety, and importunity of application than ever General Harrison had before he was mercifully removed to the land of eternal silence The same result has taken place here. orize of heawte. =~ possession of poor Mr. Polk. He will, i and repose. After :ne belligerent parties have fought out the battle respecting the possession of Mr. Pulk, and | believe it, we take eccasion to say that we the * spoils,’ then will come the war of the suc- cession. That will be interminable. It will wax fiercer and fiercer every succeeding session of Con- gress. As forthe whigs, they will be all peace and quietness next session. They will have merely to look on. And the scene will doubtless be very in- teresting and amusing to them. But it will not, we fear, be very creditable to the country. We should not be surprized, if we should have during the next session, some exhibitions of vulgarity, in- temperance, and violence, still more disgraceful than any which have yet taken place on the floor of the House of Representatives—and that is say- ing a great deal. “To Your Tents, On! Israzt !”—The election is over. The gambiers whoJhave lost, are opening their eyesto their folly; and the winnersare spenc= ing their iniquitious gains. Men are returning to calmness and sobriety. The disturbing elements that have agitated the country are disappearing— all but the politicians by profession are desirous of repose, and return to their usual avocations. We do trust that the community will return with increased energy and industry to their varied occupations—that every attention will be paid to the advancement of morality—to intellectual cul- ture—to the prosecuticn of all honorable enterprises --and that the nation will at once enter into a new career of glory and prosperity. The country certainly was never in a more promising condition. Commerce is rapidly ir- creasing. Trade is finding new channels every day. Agriculture is rapidly improving. The sci- entific cultivation of the soil is regarded as much more important than heretofore. In the neighbor hood of all the large cities, the traveller is at once struck by the indications of increased industry ex- pended on the production of the fruits of the earth Well-tilled gardens, from the humble enclosure of the cottage, to the elegant flower-beds of the af- fluent, are now seen in our suburbs, instead of va- cant and waste lots, Those and a thousand other small, but not insignificant indications, show on all hands, that taste and industry are increasing amongst the population. The great truth, that it is to themselves—to their own industry, diligence, morality, and good sense; and not to legislation, to government, that the people must look for prosperity, is beginning to be more widely felt, and more generally understood and acknowledged. It is true there will always be a class, too lazy or too corrupt, to occupy them selves in the pursuits of honorable industry, and who will sink in the purlieus of political intrigue ind agitationjthe means of living. We see, indeed, already, how this class begins to disturb the poli- tical waters. But they cannot succeed, for some years’, to come, in rendering them es turbid as of late. All good citizens wil] quietly submit to the result of the recent conflict, and coolly look on, whilst the va- rious fag-ends of faction are quarrelling and squabbling. ‘He laughs who wins.” Tie discreet citizen who attends to his business, and lays in industry and perseverance, the solid foundations of enduring prosperity and ample for- tune, can well afford to be amused at the scenes in the political arena ; but he will take very good care to keep out of it himself. Dr. Larpner’s Rerort.—It will be recollected that a short time ago an explosion took place, of a most extraordinary kind, on the Reading railway, by which the locomotive engine ** Richmond,” was, by some terrific but unknown agency, blown toa distance incredibly far for such a ponderous mass of matter. A very neat edition of this report has been published at the Herald office, at the re- quest of Messrs. Norris Brothers, the builders of the engine in question, and who employed Dr Lardner to investigate the subject. After a peru- sal of the work, we can safely say that this has been thoroughly accomplished; and that whilst it proves clearly that electricity was the leading cause of the explosion, it makes out the case by a series of scientific arguments and illustrations of a deeply interesting nature, and which completely exonerate Messrs. Norris Brothers. from all blame. More Nattves —There was a great Whig meete ing in Boston on Friday last, in Faneuil Hall. Mr. Webster was there and made a speech He has come out a strong native, and attered the following sentiments on nativeism, which were received with thundering applause :— Fellow-citizens, it would be, at this moment, a uscless taak for me to attempt to investigate the causes of this change.

Groans or tux Wounpgp—Taicxs or THE GaM- BLERS.—We have frequently adverted to the unpre- cedented and ruinous extent to which the betting on election returns and on the general result has been carried in the recent contest. The results of these gambling transactions are now beginning to be manifested on all hands; and one of the most remarkable and not altogether uninstructive de- velopments which have been made, is that of the trickery, dishonesty, intriguing and fraud of the gamblers themselves. A number of the party newspapers, the Tribune, Courier andEnquirer, and Albany Evening Jowrnal, have got mixed up in these curious details of iniquity; and the whole affair would be rather amusing, were it not too much illustrative of unprincipled baseness. It will be recollected by many, that on Wednesday the Courier and Enquirer came outand boldly claimed the State for Clay. This threw the Whigs here and in Philadelphia into ecstasies, and produced a considerable effect on some of the opposite party. With respect to the motives which influenced the Courier in making that announcement at that par- ticular moment, the Albany Evening Journal very kindly comes forward and affords us a little inter- esting light. In an article defending himself against certain, not§very complimentary, imputa- tions thrown out by the Courier, Thurlow Weed says :— We were called to New Yorkon Wednesday on bnsi- ness, and when questioned by our political Laingewes ipo ly stated it as our conviction that the State against us by over 2000. This opinion not enly wound. , but offended ., SeBagl politic! x oa mi jans who have made it their business, since omiees thi . This class, not content witn quectonton, as y had an undoubted right to do, our judgment, pro- ceeded to impute dishonorable motives. The “ Albany friends” alluded to in the Courier, area and ourself, who were acc’ in the streets by hundreds of their own political friends, with pie come to New York; represent poe hut brewing that it was safe, . eat ne ‘and ‘speculating in stocks. We were denounced and reviled by Whigs, interms too gross to bo repeated, for having, when asked, given them in- formation calculated and intended to save them from fur- ther loss of money, and mortificution of spirit. Indeed, so much was the minds of men excited by those who “ fanned the embers,” that some proposed onr elevation bi “Rail,” while others talked of Tar and Fea- rs The fellows who originated the charge that we went to New Yo:k to make money disbonorably knew better; but fest handreds in that city who heard this ac en ey, e nol one dollar either on the Presidential Election, or upon the Election in this State, or upon any other State. Nor did we, when in New York, buy or sell a re of stock, oor were vre interested, directly or indirectly, in any stock speculation. Nor was the friend whose name was 80 opprob iously associated with ourown, in any man- ner connected with bets or stock speculations We notice these things for no purpose of recrimination. The result has vindicated the opinions which gave so much offence in New York. And if, asthe Courier and enquirer says, some of our friends took advantage of our advice to withdraw their bets, they were as wise as fortu- nate. Oo the other hand, such es persisted in making further bets to show their contempt for our poor opinion, are sufficiently punished and rebuked. We have done our duty, us @ private, in the campaign which has just closed. We have labored faithfully and devotedly to preserve the country from the misery and dishonor which Polk, Texas, Free Trade and Slavery will nowfinflict uponfit. Had the contest resulted favore- by, the honors and rewards would have belonged to others. But now that we are beaten by less than 5000, from canses which should not have existed, perhaps those who led will not ask those who followed, to share the re- sponsibili‘ies of defeat. It seems that the facts of this matter are simply these: A cliqueof betters on the election,who had very large sums depending on the result, had suffi- cientinfluence to induce the Courier to make the fla- ming announcements that the State was all safe for Clay, which put the city quite in a ferment, and re- animated the sinking hopes of the whigs. The Tribwne was fiercely assailed by the Courier be- cause it told the truth, and expressed its serious doubts of the issue, and certainly the Tribwne was more accurate in its reports of the returns than its contemporaries of the whig press. But im- mediately on the production of the desired impression through the agency of the Courier, a number of betting characters started from this city, and reached Philadelphia just in time to find the poor whigs there in an agony of delight, at the news that the State of New York was “‘allright for Clay.” They of course made the most of their time, and in a few hours had booked bets sufficient to save themselves. In this way about $100,000 were transferred from the pock- ets of Philadelphia whigs to those of New York whigs. The ruse was completely (successtul. It did indeed appear strange to all not in the secret, that the Courter should persist, for two days, in i's deceptive statements, in the face of all the facts — But now that the whole business is settled, that respectable print takes the matter quite coolly. But this is not all. We understand that on Thursday, when it was generally supposed amongst many of the whigs that the State was going for Mr. Clay, a steamboat, chartered by certain sport- ing characters, came down the river from Albany, aad landed about twelve o'clock, some miles above the city, with the intelligence that the State had gone for Mr. Polk. This news was immediately used by the gamblers in Wall street, on the Bea- con Course, and in all quarters where they could make bets, so that before the regular receipt of the returns in the evening, they had secured many thousands. The truth is, that the most extraord:- nary deceptions have been practised, and certain newspapers have been most efficient co-partners in this wickednegs for the purpose of enabling their friends to “* hedge” their bets and save themselves And the most remarkable feature is, that it was all done in violation of every feeling of poiltic:1 relationship, for it has been all through whig prey- ing upon brother whig. ghphe {oelings of some very kind frit Tue Temperance Cavse.—Now that the popu- lar mind is returning to its ordinary sobriety and calmness, the friends and advocates of the great Temperance Reformation ought to be up and stir- ring in that great work. These political contests are always attended by a great deal intemperance and debauchery,and in fact a six month’s presiden- tial campaign inflicts more injury on the cause of morality and temperance, than the diligent exer- tions of their fri€nds can undo in many years. The temperance movement was until very re- cently retrograding in this city, and indeed in all the large cities of the Union. One cause wae the organization of a great number of so- cieties, not always under the best and most desirable auspices, and the want of proper regulation of temperance meetings Either from failing zeal and energy, or {rom being unceremoni- ously cast aside, many of the clergy and most in- fluential friends of the cause ceased to exert them- selvesin its faver as energetically as of old. The organization of secret temperance associations, on narrow and selfish grounds, has, also, exercised an injurious influence, as the minds of many have been thus diverted from the great objects of the movement to the petty purposes of individual vani- ty. But of Jate a fresh spirit of zeal and energy appears to have infused itself into the temperance ranks. Several of the clergy of this city, many of the leading merchants and professional men, and other influential citizens have taken up the move- ment, and are prosecuting it with diligence and success. The ‘United Brothers of Temperance” are holding public meetings, affording temporal aid to reformed drunkards, and in a variety of modes are extending the blessings of temperance through- out the community. We trust that this great movement, which must have the warmest wishes of all the intelligent friends of morality, and individual as well as na- tional happiness and prosperity, may now go on with greatly increased vigor and success. It is one in which we have ever taken a lively interest, and we shall always be prepared to give ourcordial co-operation inall rational and well-devised mea- sures to promote its interests and enlarge its triumphs Bettine ‘opos of betting, t here is a specimen, from a M Q aper, which is the best bet on the election we h neen.

P. J. New York, Nov. 9th, 1844 Inthe re 1781 Captain John Curtis (who, 1 think, belonged to Salem,) commanded a privateer sloop of about 60 tons, mounting six carriage guns and as many swivels, called the “Lincoln Galley,” and of which Cart. Erskine was the first lieu. tenant. Captain Curtis was directed by an order to cruise along the eastern shore to protect our coasting trade, and while on cruise he received information that some American vessels had been captured and carried into Ansapo is Royal,§a por! on the Nova Scotia shore. Thither Curtis con- cluded to go, and he arrived with his privateer off the harbor, in the night, and ordered Erakine hie lieutenant, to reconnoitre the harbor, and, it beeen to surprise and take the fort. Captain rskine so well acquitted himself of this important trust that he affected a landing without discovery, and proceeded directly to the tort, completely sur- took an eppertanity te fet out of the scrape by running off.

Tue New Movement.—The Whigs have almost to a man, in this pity signalized their intentions to abandon the good ol id name of Whigs, under which they have fought the last twelve years, and tri- umphed nobly. We say they have abandoned the name of Whig, and now fall in with the Native American Party, started a year or two since in New York.

In PutuapEtrnra.—The week which closes to- day. has been one of deep and intense excitement in Philadelphia. The results of the Presidential struggle have, in a great measure. depended upea the results in New York; and the vote in that great Siate has been so close, that the chrewdest among our politicians have been completely puzzled frem day to a 1o express any thing like a confident opinion. he news-rooms, and many of the hotels, have been crowded night after night, until after 14 o’clock, while the quiet of some of our principal streets, and at the midnight hour, has been disturb- ed by the shouts of the two great parties. Thou- sands have assembled at the steamboat landing, Walnut street wharf, to await the arrival of the New York boat; and we fear that a large sum of money has been risked in bets, and that thus a keener pitice of anxiety and interest has been im- parted to the minds of those immediatly concerned. A day or two longer, and the public pulse will re- sume its wonted tranquility. Then it will become the duty of the calm and reflecting to examine into the whole history of the recent struggle throughout the Sonny to point out causes and effects, and when the final result shall be ascertained, to speak. of the effects of such result upon the future pros- pects of the nation.—Phil.

An Exgotion Incrpent.—Among the incidents of the recent election, we may mention the follow- re :—An old and highly respectable citizen of ‘est Philadelphia, who is afflicted with the palsy, was taken to the polls in a carriage, when his vote was refused, inasmuch as he could not get out of the carriage, and the inspectors would not go to him. An expedient was then resorted to, by which the vote of the old gentleman was attached to the end of a long piece of bamboo, and by this means he passed it from the carriage through the election window, and it was thus received by the inspec tors, registered and counted.—Phil. Gaz , Nov. 9. In Virginia about 1,000 persons assembied yester- day at the Vepot to hear the important news from New York.
