Tae Bisce in tHe Scuoous, anp THE BIBLE IN Tae Procsssion.—One of the most melancholy desecrations that we have seen in the way of political matters, is that of the Holy Bible mixing in public processions, and bearing the watch- word of men, many of whom utter the most vielent and atrocious language, and violate openly the Breat precepts of the holy book, which they have dared to take as the Shibboleth of their party. We like the Bible in schools. There is its pro- per place. We like the Bible in the parlor—in the closet—in every private apartment. We like the Bible in the Church. We like the Bible in every quiet place of sober and rational thought. But, of all thiags that is hypocritical and insulting to the majesty of high heaven, we think the casting of the Bible iato the dirty pools of politics, and mix- ing of itup with the revelries and blasphemies of sec- tariaa aad political loaferism, is the most revolting. That is not the place for the Bible, no more than the dirty areua of politics is the place for the robes of him wno ministers at the altar. Tue Apouition Cuique in THR Democratic Pantry —We dre very sauch xmused with the con- teutions of the abolition cligue belonging tothe democratic party, who have opposed the annexa~ ton of Texas, attempted to throw the State into disorder on that question in the recent election, and who are represented by the Evening Post and ite coadjutors. This coneern ought, however, to be properly set down as one third abolition, and two thirds “spoils,” so that on every occasion where the prospect for the spoils is better than abolition, they are very willing to postpone the abolitionism untilsome more convenient opportunity, in order that the two-thirds appetite for the spoil ¢ nav be tully satisfied. They have been very busy, during the last few days, attempting to explain the discrepancy between the vote fer Silas Wright, and that for Mr Polk, in this State. They endeavor to show that, but tor the popularity of Mr. Wright, and the sinking of their anti-Texas opinions for the time, Mr. Polk could not have got the State of New York, and could not have been elected President. All thisis very idle now,when it appears by the re- ceut returns that Mr. Polk would have been elected without the State of New York, his majority being tvo to one over Mr. Clay—one of the largest ever given in this country, and equal to any that Gen Jackson, the ‘ old hickory,” ever got. So “ young hickory” is not at all indebted to these good friends of his, the abolition cliques of the democracy oj New York, and we have no doubt that when he gets to Washington he will properly appreciate the conduct of these anti-Texas men in this region Tux Newspaper Press—Txe Party Paints — What will the party prints and the party newspapers now do in order to fill their columos with any degree of interest, now that the political contest has terminated? During the past six months they have been rioting in their glory—enjoying a perfect raturoulia of abuse and vindictiveness, and all kinds of abominations. In these remarks we in- clude the journals of both parties, for the locofoco prints were just as violent and venemous as thore of the whigs. i At present the whig prints appear to be mourning for the loss of Mr. Clay’s election with a degree of excruciating melancholy that is really laughable. Some propose to raise a statue to him—some pro- pose to start him afresh in 1848—some propose one thing, and some propose another. Oa the other hand, the locofoco prints are full of ridiculous and idle boastings and twaddle. They have elected a new President, and expect a new administration, but dare not, it seems, say a word about what measures they expect, what is to be done, or how they expect to carry on the government. This is all left open to the independent preee, and to it alone, just as was the discussion of the contest now terminated. Tux Pamio.—The Wall street papers still conti- nue to give accounts of the breaking up of business arrangements, in consequence of the defeat of Mr. Clay, and additional improbable statements, with the view of creating a panic. If any manufactu- rers have relinquished intended enterprises, or any capitalists, who had designed building factories, have shrunk back, that only keeps the field clear for existing establishments. But we know very well that no sound, rational scheme hasbeen aban- doned in consequence of the election. That result gives new hopes and fresher energy rather than the reverse. The prospects of increased foreign trade are brighter than ever, and many new ships willdouptless be laid on the stocks during the year. “Fancy stocks” may fall, but all legitimate branches of trade, fiaance, and commercial enter. prise in general, will not be affected one iota to their hurt; but will bound forward with greater freedom and success, now that the excitement is over. After the election of General Jackson, in 1832, a similar attempt to create a panic was made by cer- tain monied interests. It was set on foot by the United States Bank, and concurred in by the whigs generally. But it only burned the fingers of the very men concerned in it. Fovurigrism —This sect of philosophers and re- formers have been very quiet for the last six months, in consequence of one of the chief leaders being absent in France, and the other, Mr. Philoso- pher Greely being hard at work electing Mr. Clay Now that the election is over, however, and that there is time and space to reform and to save the world, we expect that the Fourierites will stir their stumps; and, indeed, to show that we are not mistaken in this, we may mention that we have already seen a curious and remarkable letter in the Tribwne—the organ of the sect—from one of the apostles, who is now in Paris refreshing himself ai the very feuntain head of Fourierism. ‘Chis lette) just published by Mr. Greely, who will probably himseli soon make a move in the great werk, con demas all governments and all existing forms oj society; in fact, it is containe pretty much the same views as are entertained by John A Cuilins, the head man of the famous Skeneatelas commu nity, io the interior of this State. Indeed, all these philosophers may properly be classed together, as their leading doctrines are identical. They are preparing to commence the new move ment with energy and interest, as we observe that a socialist communi'y in this city advertises ‘a tes party aud ball” on next Tuesday, at their elegant Hall in Grand street, Speeches, sentiments, songs, music, aod the dance will make up the entertaio- ments. It will be recollected that Robert Owen was entertained at one of these great “tea par ties” before he left London. This promises to bs some such philosophical, literary, and rel.giou celebration. Canpipates For Orrick.—There will be a terri ble rush of office-beggars to Washington, as svor as Mr. Polk reaches that city on the 4th of Mare) next, Great preparations are muking here already. The great diffieulty here is, that the Custom House and Post Office are filled with Tyler-men, ano whether Mr. Polk will keep them in is a inauter 0: great suspicion, doubt, and anxiety. But the struggle will be terrible in a few months, when a\ the beggars make thei: appearance at Washingion with their petitions cat and dried. Duwex oy rue Historica, Socrery.—Th annual dinner of the Historical Society will be gi- Yen at the new Hotel up-town on Wednesday next It will attract a very brilliant assembiage of the literati of the city, and the union. John Quincy Adams, Danjel Webster, and other distinguished men will be there. Who are the secretaries of this body 1 We should like to report the proceed« ings at this dinner. or Biswor Oxpgapovg —Whi More Blection News, ‘RESENTMENT a wane judicial investigation is pending or expected ‘to? Tennessee ‘and Louisianware not yet quite out of come on, it is the obvious duty of a journalist to abstain trom all remarks which may tend to fore- stal the opinion or to bias the judgment of the public on questions involved. We do not mean to violate this rule, nor to express an opinion —albeit we have formed a very distinct opinion — on the nature of the charges (whethe: false, grave or trifling) preferred + t Bishop Oaderdonk, on the ongin and desigi the pro- secution, nor on the effect which it is likely to have on the Church, on the accused andon the prosecutors themselves. The time will come when, if life and health are spared, we shall feel at liberty to give a narrative of ail the agencies which have led to the trial, and an opinion on all matters connected with it. Our only motive for adverting to the subject at prese..t is a solicitude tor those distant readers whose fears may be excit- ed by the announcement of this new movement, and who may misconstrue our silence unless we explain the reason of it. All that we deem it froper or needful to say to these distant and anxious friends is, that we see no occasion for uneasiness, and that we feel entire confidence that the result of the approaching trial will be a new theme ot congratulation to all true iriends of the Church. There is that sympathy between the readers re- ferred to and ourselves, that they will know how to understand us when we ay that we have passed with them, and, God being cur helper, we hope again to pass in safety, through “changes and Chances” which have been mucu more formidable An anticipation than the trial of our beloved aud respected Bishop.— Churchman. There seems to be some error or misprint in the above article from the Churchman, and the prin- ter’s devil or proof-reader at whose door it lays, deserves to be soundly rated for his stupidity in put- UNE tte Bdivor im oo ridiculous a position, and making him do,in the most undisguised Matiuer;the very thing which he condemne and deprecates. Where the misprint is, would puzzle a Jesuit to discover, for the contradiction runs through the whole, but we think it probable that the article was intended to read somewhat as follows:— While a judicial investigation is pending or expected to come on, of grave charges against a Bishop, it is the du- ty of a journalist, aad especially of the Episcopal organ to offer such remarks as, with great profession of candor, shall tend to forestali the opinion, and bias the the judgment of the public on the question involved. We intend faithfully to follow this rule in the present instance. We do not mean of course to express any opinion on the effect which the pro- secution is likely to have on the accused party or on the Church—that would be obviously improper The time may come when we will be free and at liberty to speak; but at present without in the slightest degree intimating our opinion whether the accused party is.innocent or guilty; wnether he be acquitted or degraded, we deem it proper and needful to say that we feel entire confisence that the result of the trial willbe a new theme of congratulation to all the true friends of the Church And although we would not for the world say aught to bias the minds of our readers on the one side or onthe other, they will know hew to understand us tolerably well, when we say that we have often passed, and hope again to pass in safety through changes and chances which have been much more formidable in anticipation than the trial of our bee loved and respected Bishop.” For the sake of the Bishop we hope that all the editors in the city who, like the editor of the Churchman “ have formed a very distinct opinion” in the matter, will not explain to their distant friends, the reason of their silence in the significant way here soggested, lest in the process of avoiding all remarks that may tend to forestall public opin- ion, the Bishop should be condemned before his trial commences. as true or Tue Banxers or THE Unitep States.—This comparatively emall class of men— numbering, per- haps, two or three thousand all over the Union— have the entire management of the currency. Congress and the State Legislatures do not possess the same extent of power, The bankers can raice and depress prices—make and mar fortunes—ex- pand and curtail the financial resources of the trading interest at their discretion. As the people have decided aguinst a National Bank, ought not Congress and the State Legislatures to adopt some measures to place the banking system more strictly under the control ot sound and immutable princi- ples of financial science, so as to prevent the evils which flow from individual indiscretion and indi- vidual arbitrary power % AN Inquiry anp an ANsweR.—A correspondent asks if the statements about the erection of a “‘Herald’s College,” in this city, with John Quincy Adams, Granville Sharpe Pattison, and Arlington Bennett, as officers, which have appeared in some of the papers, is true? In 1eply, we state that we don’tknow. John Quincy Adams was formerly Professor in Harvard College, and it may be that he intends to end his literary career by heading another “college.” We don’t know, “It’s all a matter of opinion— Some folks like an apple—some an inion” Saspatn Convention.—Another Sabbath Con- vention is to be held at Baltimore to-morrow. The men who got up these conventions mean well probably, but they do not take the wisest means to prevent the desecration of the sacred day. Legislative enactments cannot make men keep the Sabbath. Neither does the restriction of the innocent and healthful recreation of the humble classee—the toiling mechanic’s and Jaborers—on that day, whilst the rich are permitted to enjoy their pleasures without let or hindrance—promise much for the rationality and christianity of the measures proposed by these friends of the Sabbath. Tne Mextcan War Sreamens.—We have been informed that these steamers will not sail for some 12 or 15 days. Their departure hasbeen postponed in consequence of the brig of war Santa Anna (which arrived here two weeks since) requiring some repairs. She will be taken upon the Sec- tional Dock, foot of Pike street, where she will re- ceive the necessary repairs; after which being done, the whole three will immediatel sail’ tor Vera Cruz. Itis a notorious fact that these steamers have been much improved since their arrival in this port, by our able and talented mechanics, and their power and general efficiency has been increased. These veseels, officered and ably manned, would prove ugly customers, Hotes 1n Wasuinoron.—We learn from Wash- ington that the “National Hotel,” in that me- tropolis, formerly kept by Gadsby, has been opened in the most splendid style by Mr. Coleman, tor- meriy of the Astor House. A good hotel wae much wanted in that region. Whilet every large city in the country has been supplied for years past with hotels of the first character, Washington was sill lagging far behind. Now, however, the Jesideratum is supplied, and Washington will have + hotel equal to any in the whole Union. This is very good news for the coming session of Congrese. Travian Opera.—The opening of the new season of Ltalian Opera is now set down by the advertiee- nents, for to-morrow evening, but we should not ve at all surprised if it were to be postponed for a aight or two in consequence of the incomplete re- organization of the orchestra, It is very desirable rhat ihe new opera with a new prima donna, and other arcists who make their debut, the orchestra hould be as fall and complete as possible. The present season promises to be one of the Most successful that we have everhad. The hoase nthe opening night will no doubt be most bril taut and fashionable, for it is one of the charac- eristics of the Italian Opera, that on the choice vightall the most beautiful and best dressed of the female élite of this city are brought out. On occa. sion of this opening, we intend to have one of our artists to take a sketch of the appearance of the opera house, and ef which we w illgivea very beau- fal engraving in the next Weekly Herald. __ Fasuronaste ARrivat.—Col.

Packet Suir Liverrooy.—That noble and splen- did ship, the Liverpool, arrived yesterday after- noon, having had rathera long and tedious passage. Captain Eldridge says that the weather was ex- tremely boisterousfrom the channel until he passed the Grand Banks. To the westward of the banks the weather was much more moderate. Capt. ©. says that he had some thirty days of stiff westerly gales, at times so strong as to admit of but little sail being carried. “Tus Enp or tam Wortp.”—The only thing that has given satisfaction.

Moopy was recalled by the counsel for the jefence.—Did not lock up Smith on the night of the 6th o!

Court Calendar—Monday. Common Putas—Nos. | to 9,101. ! Tur -Garat.-Poor Coons, Hopoxgn, ‘To-Morrow.—The excitement Continues to increase on this affair. Numbers have arrived from difierent parts of the Union withiv the last two daye, to be present on the occasion. There is little doubt but the attendance wiil be G@reaterthan at the previous race. The arrange- ments made for the purpose of preserving the peace, and promoting good sport are first rate; and those who attempt to mar either may meet with such reception that they little dream of ; they will find that the line of conduct pursued by certain gangs of rowdies on the former occasion will not be submitted to. The field stand has been re- erected and examined by some eminent builders, who adjudge it tobe now perfectly strong enongh to support the numbers it will contain. Asto the other stande, their strength for all the purposes they are required was never doubted ; nor indeed was the other, until some of the numerous crowds which broke inon the day of the last race removed some of the uprights, which caused a portion of it to fall when there was not half the number upon it as there had been. The first race to take place is a race of three miles for a purse of $200—$50 to the second in the race. This race will take place at half-past one o’clock, at which time the pedestrians must be ready at the ringing of the bell. For this race, the following persous have entered to atart :—William ‘owl, J. P. Taylor, Ely Parker, Thomas Green- haleh, Stephen Morgav, Wm Carles, Edward Brown, Lewis Edwards, Ambrose Jackson, John Steeprock. Out of these some six or seven are certain to start forit here is very little doing in the bet- ting way on this race ; the field is the favorite 100 to 75 ; 60 to 100 on Greenhalgh, if he goes for it ; 30 to 10v on bly Parker, the Indian, and the same on Wm, Fowl and Ambrose Jackeon ; the latter and the Indian against the field ; or treenhhlgh aud the Indians, with the previous proviso as spects the former; 6to 1 taken on the Indi: against the the field ; 100 to 75 the three miles is done, within 20 minutes; 2to 1 it is not done in 15 minutes, , The second race is for a purse of $1200, to run ten miles, for which the following persons have entered their names to start :— No 1—John Gil'erstbeve, 2—Jobn Barlow, ‘Thomas Greenhalgh, .P. Teylor, No. 8—Thomas ohn Underhill, 9—J.L T. Smit Wm. Carles, 10--Thomas Ryan, 7—James Bradley, 11—John Steeprock, Indian. This race will take place at half past 2 o'clock. For this race about eight, perhaps nine will start—the field is the favorite at about pre- vious odds; Gildersleeve and Barlow were against each other,with a considerable number of backers; five to one offered, to be taken on Steeprock against the field; eight to one Cre any others. Among the outriders McCabe, Corles, and Taylor appear to have the advantage in the betting as to taking one of the prizes ; ten to two the ten miles is not done in fifty-three minutes; ten to three it is not done in fifty-four, and ten to rour it is not done in fifty-five; even itis done in 57. Various ugly rumors have been afloat for the last day or two, but we believe without any foundation. We judge as we hope, that the best man will win—So be it The pedestrians will be distinguished by thei veral numbers, which must be worn in a conspicu- ous place—to start at the tapof the bell. At every three minutes from the start, the bell will be struck as follows:—Three times when the pedestrian should be at the half mile, and six times ai the mile, allowing each mile to be done in six minutes. Each pedestrian will be allowed two persons to assist them while running. There is little doubt but that the attendance will be great, and therefore those who are desirous of witnessing the greatest piece of pedestrianism that ever took place, had bettergoearly. Let all lovers of true sport assist in keeping order, and there is no doubt but that fair and honest sport will ensue. yThe two pedestrians, late from England. icCabe, Great Race at St. Lovis.—Ning Heats.— The Reveille of the 29th ult. furnishes us with the following graphic report of the performance.

Times, Now 16. Oovrr A Benore, Nov. Lag Foster It is really amusing to in the whig of this city the causes which they aesiga for the defeat of their party in thie State at the late Presidential election. Some of them attribute it to the excess of naturalization, others to abolition, nally, itis charged to the American Republicans; but let me tell you, there is another cause much more Gometial than that assigned 4 the whig papere, and that is the intolerance of the whig party to- wards the conservatives. Faroe It cannot but be admitted by all candid minds that prior to about 1838, the whig party had been entirely unsucceseful in making = inroads into the ranks of the democratic party. Jt was not un- til Senator Tallmadge came out and denounced their ultra measures that any formidable opposition was arrayed against that phalanx. In consequence of the untiring perseverance of Mr. Tallmadge ana his foende the whig party obtained the ascendan- cy in this State in 1888, and was triumphantly car- ried through the campaign of 1840, electing a whig President and Congress, and a whig Governor and Legislature in this State After the whig party came into power, what course did they pursue? Why, they did the mag- nanimous act of re-appointing Mr. Talimadge to the United Siates Senate, deeming it an act of great liberality on their part, and fully compensa- tng the conservatives for all the aid which they had rendered to the whigs. Who, I ask, but Mr. Tallmadge himeelt, gave them the power to make a Senator? It wasthrough his instrumentality that the whig party were more indebted for their suc- cess than to any other man, and in my judgement, barely making him a Senator was mpisital compen setion for the services which he had rendered. After completing the overthrow of Mr. Van Ba- ren in 1840, the conservative party ef this Siete feeling that they had accomplished the lah of their organization, retired from the political field, and left the whigs “ab ovo,” to watch over the victory which they had been instrumental in achieving, and how well they have succeeded in retaining the advantages gained by that victory, the subsequent elections give the answer. Very soon after General Harrison’s inaugura- tion, the Webster clique obtained complete ascend- ancy over the President, and nearly all the offi- ces in this city were filled by the especial friends of that gentleman. Senator Tallmadge was not allowed to have a voice in any appointment that was made in thie State, indeed his influence was considered rather detrimental than otherwise, and no conservative was permitted to hold any office while the Webster influence lasted. Now, I ask, ig it natural to suppose, that the conservative, smarting under the indignity which the whig par- ty had offered to their leader, would feel disposed to buckle on their armor in 1844, and fight the bat- tle for the whig cause as they did in 1840. 1s it not more natural to suppose that some of them would remain neutral, and others return to the de- mocratic party. I am ot opinion that a great ma- jority of them have voted for Mr. Polk. ‘ Before the asserabling ot the whig convention at Baltimore, in May last, Mr. Clay and very many of the gentlemen who were selected as delegates, were advised by judicious politicians that the State of New York could only be carried against the democrats by the same influences that were brought to bear in 1840, and in order to accomplish the game organization that existed during that cam- paign, it was important that Mr. Tallmadge should be nominated for Vice President on the ticket with Mr. Clay. As soon as it was intimated that Mr. Tallmadge would pee be a candidate for the Vice Presidency, James Watson Webb and Chas. King came out in their respective papers and de- nounced Mr. Tallmadge with allthe abuse that they were masters of, and J am sorry to say that scarcely a whig paper could be tound that possess- ed independence enough to resent the gross at- tacks which these papers had thought proper to make. In all human probability, these papers were con- sidered by the convention as speaking the senti- ments of the whig party of this State, and no man could be found who had independence enough to present the name of Mr. Tallmadge as a candidate The whig party, feeling great confidence in the popularity of Mr. Clay, thought there were enough ‘ab ovo” whigs to elect him triumphantly, without the aid of the conservatives. Tam decidedly of opinion that the defeat of the whigs, at the recent election, is more to be attri- buted to the vulgar abuse of the conservatives by the American, and Courier and Enquirer, than to any other cause. < The State of Maine has also been lost to the whigs in consequence of the same proscriptive course, pursued by the whig party to one of the leading conservativesof that State. Other instances might be enumerated in which attempts have been made by Webster’s omnibus load ot pipe layers to run over the little wheel barrow load of conserve- tives. I trust, however, that I have assigned rea- sons enough tor one article, and may have occa- sion to allude to this subject agein on atuture oc- casion. A Wuie or 1840.

The coal is formed in workable beds of considerable thickness ; and in one instance there i of coal forty teet thick—which comes up to the suriace and is quarried like stone.

Hon. ioe Cray, AsHLanp, Ky :— IR — On the fourth and fifth of the accompanying pamphlet, I have stated the period, and related the circumstances under which | firet had the honor of becoming personally acquainted with you. My name and person, no doubt, have long since d from your remembrance: you have, nevertheless, jong had an ardent, but unknown, adrairer in me. and I have thought that this was the fitting period for me to give evidence of it, by advocating your elevation to the Presidency of the Union. ‘The press of the country apnea, and more es- pecielly that of this city, has set torth that the solution of the Presidential question, at present, depends entirely upon this State, and caper openly upon the result in the city of New York ence f have concluded, that, as there are many thoneands of adopted citizess in this city, whose suffroges may cause the balance to turn in favor of your holy cause, and whose credulity has heretofu: been successfully practised upon by your uncon- scientious adversaries, a salutary lesson adminis. tered at this critical moment might frove beneficial a your cause, and consequently oe service to the nlon. _ Actuated by these considerations, I have pub: lished this pamphlet, and distributed it gratuito from my own houge, in accoraance with advertis ments to that affect inserted in various America! French and German newspapers; hurdreds of co- pies, indeed, have already been put in circulation ate those, whose cry was “Polk and Dallas,” and | have learned trom many sources, with some pride but more peters, that very have changed u linghuysen !” My work, certainly, is hardly worthy of your at- tention ; but after a residence of twenty-one yeara in this country, almost always in sorrow and dite gust, I could not refrain from allowing myself the pleasure, en my seventy-first birth day, of telling some bitter but wholesome truths to the people; and thus taking the noblest revenge on that pro bial republican ingratitude, which is the distin- — guishing trait of those who have basely attempted to blacken the character of the only Ameriean, in whom I have found all the qualities necessary to © make the Great Chief of a Great Nation. I ask indulgence for the liberty I have taken, and subscribe myself, sir, i Your most obedient . and respectful servant, O. pg A.

For one, I must say, that whilst I hepe the United States may always remain an asylum to the unfor- tunate, the oppressed, and the persecuted of other climes, { hope that it will be ever governed by true and genuine American feelings, sentiments and interests.
