Meeling of the Empire Club Last Evening— Strong Resolutions—Principles, not Party Down with the Native American Party at All Hazards. The Empire Club met in considerable numbers last eveningin the St. John’s Hall, Franktortstreet. Shortly after the hour appointed, the President of the Club, Capt. Isaiah Rynders, took the chair, sup- ported by all the other officers of the association. After the call of the meeting had been read, and few other preliminary step: had been entered into, on the motion of Mr. Woolridge, a committee of five was appointed to draft resolutions, consisting of Messrs. Reese, Beckett, Ford, Mivor, and Con- nor. In the interim the Chairman called the attention of the members of the Club to their duty as true democrats in the approaching contest, and said that much was expected from them and much must be done,—they must not relax their endeavors in the least; they had a wily enemy to contend against, and they must be prepared accordingly. The committee then returned, and the resolu- tions prepared were read to the meeting by Mr. Reese, whichwere the strongest in temperament we ever recollect hearing. They termed the present party in power in the city government, as a piebald one, neither fit forgood or evil ; that they obtained ower under false pretences, and that they must be hurled from the power they had thus obtained, and that the Empire Club was determined to do it.— This was instanced by their proceedings during their reign, and said they were only fit to compete with the apple stalls of poor old women,and afew of minor grog shops, while the proud and rich were allowed to go on in their unlawful proceedings with impunity. Of the question of the annexation of Texas, they repudiated the tardy proceedings of Congress as being adverse to the strongly ex- pressed opinion of the country at the recent elec- tion, and stated that the democrats of this country would not rest satiefied with any thing less than the annexation both of Texas and Oregon. The Club pledged themselves not to lend their powers to any party, but to carry out the true principles upon which it was based. y The resolutions lin’ been put, were carried unanimously amid long cheering. The Cuarrman then proceeded to address the meeting at some epg on the resolutions, and went intoa mass of detail, of a somewhat inte- resting character, showing the workings of the old hunkers of the democratic party; how they sur- rounded the Governor of the State, and prevented him from exercising his own free, and intelligent, unbiassed judgment, saying that there were one hundred liars, better than the chairman—who exe: cised their avocationstosuch an extent,tnat he wi obliged to withdraw his application for office. He then proceeded to take a review of the conduct of the Native American party in this city, since their accession to power, in no measured terms, expo- sing them most fully, but not beyond their merits {n conclusion, he called upon all members of the club to be up and stirring in their respective wards, and announced that one or two ether meetings of the Club would be held previousto the election in April, when more particulars would be given as to the line ot procedure. Mr. Woo.niper moved that Messrs. Shaler and Hopkins, who were then on the premises, be in- vited to address the meeting. A deputation of ie having been appointed for this purpose, with- ew. The Cuarrman said he thanked God that they had in this city at least one Roper which was inde- pendent of party or cliques, whose columns were ever open to truth and justice; and, although it had given the Empire Club some hard wipes, it was only when they deserved it; and hoped it would persevere in the same course—he alluded to the New York Herald (Three cheers were thengiven, most heartily, for that paper, and three others for its independent editor, James Gordon Bennett. } The party voted to invite Messrs. Hopkins and Shaler to address the meeting then entered the room, accompanied by the former gentleman, who was received amid much cheering. __ . Mr. Horxins made a brief address, in which he said he would go with the club heart in hand, and asthe Native American party had found them in ferries from one end of Broadway to the other, he would, at the next municipal election, use all his powers to get a party into office that would supply his fellow citizens with boats to carry them across those ferries. (Cheers.) Three cheers were then given for Polk and Dal- las, three others for Texas and Oregon, three more for Silas Wright, three others for the Chairman, and three extra for their anticipated success in t spring election, which might have been heard dis- tinctly the other side of the Park, and then the meeting broke up. Meeting of the National Reformers at Croton Hall. A meeting of the National Reform Associa- tion was held last night at Croton Hall, which was tolerably well attended. The principal fea ture of the evening wasthe address of Mr. A. Bris bane, who introduced his remarks by stating that he did not belong to the N. R. Association, but felt a great sympathy for it, as he saw in ita sin- cere desire for the elevation of the laboring classes, and a wisdom manifested in that desire—for they had a greatand important measure in view. He himself had been for a number of years engaged in another cause—a reform whose accomplishmen: was far efi, which was not to arrive to morrow or the next day, or the next year, or the year after— but it come, and when it came, it would be the grand and final reform of society, and would put an end forever to poverty and ignorance, the arents of want and crime, throughout the world he pointsto which he would direct attention on the present occasion were, Ist—the slavery of the working classes, in its different forms, throughout all past ages; 2d—the importance of the laboring or producing classes; 3d—the rights of man, em bracing these which have been taken from and those conceded to him; 4th—the policy which the National Reformers should pursue to accomplish their objects. The history ot the past showed us that there had been in existence three kinds of slavery—the slavery of man by man, serfdom, (or man belonging to the soil,) and the slavery of hired labor, or the slavery to capital. This is the form of slavery at present most generally in existence, and is the result of the ac- cumulation of capital im the hands of a few, the introduction of free competition, by which the price of labor is reduced through the necessities of of the laborer, and the invention of labor-saving michinery. The laboring classes are the producers of all wealth, and the products of their labor are taken from them by accumulated capital, by finan- cial organizations, by commerce, and by their for- ced competition against each other. Labor is the poor man’s only property ; but while the laws have tenced in the right of all other kinds of property— the sacredness of ownership in real estate, in chat- tels and all kinds of goods—the property of the poor man—his labor—is mercilessly taken trom him by every species of fraudulent contrivance, and yet the laws have no pity, no security for him. Civi- ‘ization does not actually guarantee to the laboring man so many of his rights as are secured in savage life. The Indian the mop of gathering the fruits of the field, of fishing, of hunting, and of pas turage—and these four rights are equivalent to the right to the soil and the right of labor—which the poor man, in civilization, does not possess. Some rights have been extended to the people, but they are, with one exception, T illusory or nega- tive. The only practical, real right they have, is the right of suffrage ; and with the exercise of this, intelligent! directed, they heve itin theirpowerto secure all the others. The great problem of the age is the elevation of the masses, and this can only be done by an enthusiastic, a devoted union, on broad and fundamental principles, of the laboring The present tendency of thingsis towards acommercial and industrial feudalism, more ta- talthan the teudalism of the middie ages. Al- teady, manutactures had been brought under this system, and in a few years agriculture would be in the same situation. In the coun- ty of Genesee, inthis State, Mr. B. knew the fact that one hulf the land in the whole county was under mortgage to banks and insurance com- oanies. So it was, more or less, throughout the country, and so it would go on, until a few capi- talists owned all the land, and ‘they could say to the ullers of the soil, as they already did say to the manufacturers and artizans—this is all ours—go ‘o work for a miserable pittance, or starve.” The great object, then, was to this tenden- cy; and the movement of the National Reformere was the commencement of it. Let them insist 00 the right to the soil and the right of education—le) ‘hem avoid involving themselves inthe petty and Mi, el reforms of the day, which amount tc 1othing, and can effect nothing, and march on un- der the broad and fundamental principl to the soil and right of edu a, an Piney ie succeed. ug thee man speeches were made, and the meet- | Mexico.

Bennert, Esq. :— Dear Siz :— I wrote you a short letter a few days ago, giving you a general view of this place—its present situa- tion and future prospects. Since my last,the steam: boat Guadaloupe, from Vera Cruz, has been here, but brought no later news from Santa Anna. His situation is still equivocal, however. I should not be surprised if he yet gained the ascendancy, as his genius has often triumphed under circumstances more desponding thanthe present. ‘The officers of the government, Custom House, &e., wait with anxiety for some definite arrangement, as they are the persons principally interested in these revolu- tions, but the people generally, except the poor In- dian soldiers, shout for the successtul general, and regard ail principles with equal indifference. In- deed thay know not whether any principle is in- volved, aud they are not censurable for this; as it would puzzle the most intelligent to find it About four or five months ago, an American schooner, from New Orleans, was illegally sold here, there being no accredited consul here; and the house that bought it—indeed, that planned the whole transaction—and procured fraudulent papers, and resolved to send her to New Orleans on a voy- age, but on the arrival of the new consul here she could not procure despatches, consequently she has been sent to Campeachy, as the head of the house in question observed that the consul there did not kuow the laws of the United Siates. How- ever, I think she will not be despatched there, as a Mexican reenter cannot be legally obtained for her. Indeed, I think it high time that a stop be put to such nefarious transactions ; our flag is de- secrated daily in Mexico by false ownersnip and perjured papers, and I Aape the United States, through her consuls and _ other agents, will endea- vor to put astoptoit. I have been more or less in this country for five or six years, and I can safely say that two-thirds of the schooners trading in the Gulf, and to the Havana, owned by Mexican mer- chants, are under the American flag ; and to show you that I speak advisedly, [ will mention one case connected with myself. Having occasien, some time since, to go to Merida, to adjust some busi- ness with a merchant with whom I was particular- f4 acquainted, he for the first time informed me that he had a vessel in my name, and requested of me a power of attorney to sell her. reprimand, and much persuasion, I consented ; but told him never to use my name for 80 false a pur- pose again, as, if the vessel had happened to turn pirate, I should have been known as the owner, andnothe. This isan isolated case among anhun- dred. However, I willwrite you more extensively on this subject another time. The British brig Glengariff, of Cork, 206 tons burthen, Captain Church, from Vera Cruz to La- guna, was lost in a gale off Gasaqualqua, on 16th November last. The captain, second mate, and five sailors, were lost; the first mate, carpenter, and three of the hands, are saved, and are now in Laguna. Inthe meantime, I remain yours, &c., After a severe Viator. Albany, [Correspondence of the New York Herald.] Axzany, Feb. 17, 1845. The questio verata, the Judgeship First Circuit, which has been a source of great disquiet and dis- comfort to many worthy and highminded gentle- men, and perhaps not a little to the equable and good natured Governor, was this morning settled. The name of John W. Edmonds was sent to the Senate for that place, valued at seven to ten thou- sand dollars per annum, and tenable until three score years of age. In this struggle, the world has been apparently “down on” Mr. Edmonds. The histery of his life, public and private, hasbeen over. run—all sorts and descriptions of charges have been made against him—every manner of influence has been brought to bear against him,—but it seems he has cleared the track of all encumbrances, and des- pite every obstacle in his way, he has succeded to ais heart’s content. { knew it would be highly pleasing to Governor Wright if the law would rid him of his Executive patronage. He don’t hke it. Butsince the work isto be done, he bears it good aaturedly, and one by one he is clearing the calen- dar of appointments. 2 Gen. Cass was in the capitol during the morning hour, and received the cordial grasp of many hands, but the owners of said hands are of opinon that his seat in the U. S. Senate, wipes his name from the slate for the succession. He is thought to have reached the acme ot his political destiny. Upon this point however, there 1s no occasion for any present expression of opinion. —__ The Canal Board yet remains in daily session, and, of course, to use a common expression, “the turflies” in various parts ot the State. It’s a nice business abstractly considered, this hanging on prince’s favor. A comfortable blacksmith at his torge, is a king compared with the poor devils who dance attendance in Albany. In shington it is the same—only worse and more of it. | Every body here is anxiously looking towards the federal capitol for some authentic information about the cabinets, and the general course of af- fairs. You promised to give it. Lyman. Boston. (Corespondence of the Herald.) Bosron, Feb. 17, 1845. J. G. Bennet, Esq.: The political tide still rans high in this mayor- leas city. Next Friday, the 2lst inst., we shall have the eighth trial to elect this city official, but according to present prospects it will be as una- vailing as the former ones. Each party remains firm and determined to fight to the last gasp. The natives will finally succeed. Office seekers are on the qui vive just now, and their number, in this neighborhood, is legion.— Some have very just and fair claims upon the new administration, if political services count anything; others, and by far the larger class, seem to think, because they have voted for Polk and Dallas, and, perhaps, carried a torch in some procession, that they too must be rewarded. There will be some kicking here when the disposition of offices is made, and matters settled. = Tae The democrats are preparing for a grand ball in Faneuil Hall, to come off on the 4th of March, in celebration ot the democratic national triumph. It is got up on a very liberal scale, and will doubtless be avery fine affair. The natives will use the hall a few days previous for the purpose ot celebrating Washington’s birth-day, and [ am informed that Mr Harper, mayor of your city, has engaged io be present. This will rather excel the democratic entertainment. mab. We have a wholesome variety in the way of en- tertainments in our city at this time, Among others there are the lectures of Dr.J. 8. Jones, for- merly manager of the Tremont Theatre, upon the Reproductive System, use and abuse! These lec- tures are given in one of our public halls, and draw well, to say the least of them. But as to the moral influence of “preaching” upon this topic, and ex- hibiting pertect and accurate models thereof, why, Lam inelined to question tts propriety. : Professor Gouraud has arrived in our city, and proposes to form a class a /a New York. Our citi- zens are inclined to look upon the matter rather in the hght of an ‘abstract idea,” as Mr. Hudson, the lecturer, would say ; and also to question its utility. I have seen many persons who have de- voted time and money to the acquirement of the art of Mnemotechny, but never one who had re- ceived one particle of practical benefit from it in any shepe or manner. [Did the professor mnemo- nize accounts with the printers in your city be- fore leaving q : rt. Rice, the original and unrivalled Jim Crow, has been performing his round of characters ani re at the National Theatre for some days past. His Bone Squash, Virginia Mummy, Otello, Wc ,are very humorous in their way, and draw ood houses. Mr. Pelby has a ster of greater or \esser magnitude constantly before the public; be+ sides which, there is a most unexceptionable stock company attached to the establishment. I doubt ul there be a house in the Union that can produce the ecenie effectthat is witnessed at this theatre Mr. Bayoe is the principal artist, and unrivalled in nie line. This establishment is doing a thriving ousiness, being the only ostensible theatre in the ote an Museum is also a highly popular plese of resort. It is situated in the very Beart of the city, Tremont street, as every body knows, which gives it a great advantage as a place of pub- lic amusement and exhibiuion. There isa very excellent compavy here, including Harry Smit and Mrs. Barrett, two Boston favorites. I wit- nessed “ As You Like It,” performed here a few nights since,and was really surprised at the strength and capacity of the company. The house 1s Ire- quented by the first circles in town, and is actu- ally thronged nightly, being acknowledged by all | to be a most unexceptionable place of amusement. Mr Kimball, the proprietor, is making a fortune. . Our State Legislature, still in session, have done little, thus tar, beside granting railroad and busi- ness charters. Lass have talked some about Texas, Oregon, New Brunswick, the Canadas, &c. = but a shocking mess they make of it altogether. Its a curious sight to go into the hall, and see the Led haan mags of human nature there congre- gated. Cheap literature and the periodical business are exceedingly prosperous just now. Redding and Co. being the oldest and most extensive esta- blishment, take the lead here. { congratulate you on having such faithful agents in this city for your highly popvlar journal.

P ‘ase of Samuel Adams resumed— Fourth Day. —The trial of this cause was resumed upon the opening of the Court, Mr. Sage being upon the staud. A great number of letters, deting from the 18th of March, 1543, to the 10th of July, 1844, written by the firm of Suydam, Sage & Co. to Samus! Adame—the majority of them con- clujed in the most friendly terms, and expressing cenfi- dence in him—all of them dated prior to December being in relation to the flour transactions with him—and ail af- ter that date in relation to the pork transaction—were in- troduced in evidence, by the defence, and read to the jury. Among the letters, was a letter of credit, directing him to draw upon a certain house in Cleveland, Ohio, for any emownt upon dratts anv receipt. The letter of the 10th of July notifi-d Adams that they bad paid a certain amount of his drafts, and that unless the deficit on ad- vances was immediately made up, they shouid sell the residue of his property then in their possession; also, that ithad been received in bad order. (Acconnts current and accounts of sales of flour received from Wesson & Co. were introduced, showing that, in that transaction, taere was a balance of 2000 and odd dollars in tavor of Wesson & Co., which was transferred to the individual credit of Wesson by his order. ; Question.—In the winter of 43 or spring of 1944, did you not receive a consignment cf pork from 8. 8. Seymour & Co.? (Objected to—objection sreued and overruled.) Answer.—We did, about 1000 barrels of pork, and have refused to pay the balence, over the amounts of our sc- ceptances, which was about $2000 due them. They have commenced suits against us tur that amount. We have also commenced, or ordered onr counsel in Chilicothe to commence, suits against both Seymour and Watts for the deficit of property, amounting to sixty-thres thousand and Odd dollars worth, receipts in deposit for which were for- warded to us. In August we sold about $32,560 worth of mess and prime pork to Mr. Dougherty, although he did not wish to buy it, with the understanding that we should buy it back again. He bought it, and paid for it ina check upon the bi We bought it back with the exception of a few barrels, by way of balancing our ac- counts, as we expected totry Mr. Adams in July or August, and wished to be able to state the exact defi- ciency. The witness then testified that they had made contracts to deliver pork a future day—selling pork, that they hed not on hand; and that, in consequence of Adams not forwarding his produce, sgreeable to the re eeipts, they were compelled to buy aud borrow pork to fulfill their contracts, and thus became losers of about $3500; Wesson & Co. being losers in about the sume amount. After it was found that there was a deficit in the rk, we paid our accept-d drafts, because we were Found to do #0, or our ald have been dishonor- ed, and our acceptances protested. Our firm did bring this indictment into Court; we did employ agents to go to Ohio, and take Mr. Adams from Ohio, and bring aim- here; we employed an officer, and our atturney, Mr. Greig, weat with him. We have employed three counsel to assist the District Attorney. Ques —Did you not direct your attorney to compro- mise and settle the matter, if possible ?

Division or Wisconsin.—It is a fact that the ex tent of Wisconsin Territory is as great_as that of six of the large class of States in the Unton. From the ex treme south-western bou: , near Galena, it extends ap the east bank of the Mississippi to it rees, then in a direct northern line to the British possessions, running eastward in aline to the Leke of the Woods, thence south- easterly to Rainy Lake and its tributories, until it etrikes the northern shore of Lake Superior, opposite the herd of Isle Royal, then traversing the head of that Lake and the southern shore to the head of the Montreal river, which is the Toledo and Maumee ofyet boundary line cf the ‘State of Michigan, and thence along the western shores of Lake Michigan to a poiat within ferty miles of Chicogo.— The extent of the line of jurisdiction cannot be less than twelve hundred miles, and the whole Territory occupy ing an average ef two hundred miles wide, and twelve uundred long Anextent of country so vast, it is easy to foresee, cannot be contracted into the limits of one State oe Territory, when it becomes poptlous. Ite, boundaries would be too extensive and wide-preading—its juris si ion too Jarge and unwieldy for convenience or efticiency and hence it is presumed it will be necessary, in time, { 4 portion of Wisconsin to seek a new state « i and social existence. The Milwaukie Daily Sentinel, in view ot these tacts, suggests to the emigrant, the enter- orising adv -nturer, and the hardy pioneer, that there ia a wide field for their labor in Northern Wisconsin. Let them combine, says the »entinel, and form an association consisting of two or three hundred families, and in the spring go out in a body to the Mississippi, then tike # steamboat and ascend to the month of St. Croix and Falls of St. Anthony—establish settlements—and erect a new Territory, by the name of the Superior Territory There {s not the slightest doubt but that this plan is perfectly feasible, and that avery few years will see it t in operation. ' The tract of country left, by such a livision, to Wisconsin, would be sufficiently large for © dood sized Sate, and consequently the erection of the new Territory would be no infeingement of the rights, or ce- trimental to the interests of the people of Wisconsin. The tract of country that would beembraced in the Superior Territory, would cover an area of about nine hundred bytwo hundred miles—abounding in valuable tead and copper mines—countless quarries of gypsum vd valuable building stone—immense forests of the choicest timber—a rich and prolific soil, of preirie ond woodland, interspersed with small navigable rivers ard streama for hydraulic purposes; and all the required ources necessary for the growth end prosperity of @ magnificent State.

The binck man M’Guire, and the two young men who had been taken up, and were in confinement on Potter’s sceusation, have conecquently been released, and exonerated from all suspicion.

But not- withstanding all (his, snd notwithstanding his perticu- larity of detail, which even ¢xtended to pointing out on a map the precise places where he alleged that Beecher, Sage, and himsell stood when the murder was commiited, by @ final confession given lest evening, he declares all bis previous statements by which others are implicated to be false. While Mr. Ball waz at tea last evening, Potter sent word by the Assistant Jailor that he wished to see him. Mr. Ball immediately went to Potter’s cell, who told him that he was in great distress of mind. Mr. B. asked him it any thing new had oceurred. Potter said no, but thet his agony of mind was such that he could neither drink or sleep—tbat he could get no rest of any kind, that he had determined saat to tell the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, let the consequence be what it would. Mr. B. told him he had no advice to that he did not care to hear any more confessions—but if hehad any thing more to say, for Heaven’s sake let it be true. Potter declared most solemnly that the confession he should then make would be his last confession, and that he should carry it with him to the grave. He said he could no longer be guilty of accusing it cent blood, and ‘hat his former statements, so far as others were implicated, were all false. He then juested that ‘ue Grand Juror and Mr. Foster should be called in, that he might make the statement to them personally. request was complied with, and they soon came to bis cel. He then stated, that he was the only person con- cerned in the murder, or in any way guilty. He alone planned the crime, some five or six weeks before, and had sever lisped it to any one that breathed. About thet time, he forged the note, and some three days before the mur- der, he succeeded in getting the watch in % ay = under pretence of borrowing it.

They went on togetheitewards the pecs convarsing about quarrying stone, until they arrived atthe north end of the bridge, where thes turned to comeback. Osborn then noticed the sikepole which Potter bad on his right shoulder, in- qnirea where he got it and said—“You aint a going to kill toy body. are you?” Potter replied that he had picked «cup, and intended to cerry it home. They then came back over the bridge. and when a few feet this side, he allowed Osborn to get a step or two in advance, Potter be- ing at his right hand ,when he brought the pike-pole round with fuil torce, and felled kis victim to the earth.

He then hastily left the fatal spot, proceeded to Lanson’s and from there to Coo’s as before stated. He was asked by the Gran’ Juror what motive he had ‘a accusing others thus falsely? He replied that he had lone it through the hope that by this accusation he might scape the extreme penalty cf the Jaw. He was then asked if auy person had held out any such encouregement; he ceplied no, but that he still cherished a hope. He then ex- rersed a wich that the individuals implicated by his false- hoods should be released from farther imprisonment on suspicion, and after consulting the States Attorney, Jur- ce Bennett repaired to the prison and released the black nan and the boys. ‘The persons who have been <etained through the arti- ‘ive of this finished assassin, are beyond all reproach, and vere the victims of deep and well concocted knavery.— While the public sympathise with them in the temporary taint which has re-ted upon their reputation, the police should not be censured.
