NEW YORK HERALD, New York, Monday, Mareh 17, 1#45, Spring Fiectlon—Exeitement in the Whig farty, We have already alluded to the very remarkable contest going on amongst the masses and elements of the whig party, in relation to the spring election in this city, and also to “nativeism,” abolition aud all the future movements of the party. An article on this subject, published in the Courter and En- quirer on Saturday last, lias created such a tremen- dous excitement in the ranks of the whig party, and throughout the city, that we deem it proper to give the material passages of that curious article, in order to put before our readers and the commu- nity at large, the whole facts relative to the present extraordiaary movement and excitement in the whig party relative to “ nativeism” and abolition, It will be recollected that a few days ago the regularly organized committee of the whig party published a call upon their troops to assemble at National Hall, to-morrow evening, for the purpose of responding to the nomination of Dudley Selden, Esq, as their candidate for the chief magistracy of this city, at the ensuing election, and also for the purpose of expressing their opinion on Texar— Henry Clay—the tariff—and various other political topicsof the day, and articles of the old whig creed. It appears that this movement proceeded principally from the Fourier, or Tribune section of the whigs, and has given great offence tothe Wall street clique of the same party, whose organ is the Courter and Enquirer with its two Colonels, the one at the head and the other at the tail. Accordingly, the latter or gan, no doubt from motives and purposes which may be readily divined by a retrospect of its general course of action, has come forth with one of its furiously inflammatory appeals, the principal por- tions of which we give inthis day’s paper, and which indicate that the meeting to-morrow even- ing will be one of the most curious and i»flamma- tory that has ever taken place in the*whig party in this city, since that pariy was broughtinto existence, had aname, and went through the operation of baptism, a few years ago. The Courier charges upoa the Tribune and the clique which support that print, and also upon the constituted authorities of the whig #party, a desire to take up the question of abolition and to make it one of the articles of the whig creed. There is, certainly, some reason for believing that some such purpose has been engendered in the minds of many of the whigs in the interior of this State, judging alone from the character and tendency of the arti- cles which have recently appeared intheir journals The motives for entertaining such a purpose may be found in the fact that a party in the interior of the State calling itself abolition or ‘‘liberty,’? pos- sesses fifteen thousand votes, and that it may be absolutely necessary for the whig party to conci- liate that faction in order to maintain its own as- cendancy. In addition to this new movement, the Courier attributes to those who participate in 1t, the intention of disunion and separation as being their ultimate purpose. Probably that idea may not at present be entertained by them; but there can be no question that any party which arises in the free States, adopting thefprinciples of the aboliiion- ists, must have a tendency to endanger the in- tegrity of the Union. Jf the purpose of the meeting to be held in National Hall to-mor- row night, be to adopt the principles of the abolitionists as a part of the whig creed—if that be the purpose—then we most readily unite in the denunciations of the Courier, aud join with all sin- cerity in the effort to put a stop to such a move- ment, that can lead to nothing but disaster, con- fusion, and the ultimate disunion and degradation of the country. Without imputing any want of morality or patriotism to the “ liberty” men or abo- litionists, and graating that many of them may be sincere in their convictions, yet we are most de- cidedly convinced, and always have been, that their doctrines and their movements must, if carried out, inevitably jead to disaster, disunion, and ruin. Believing so, we are therefore glad to unite with the Courier, or any other journal, in an effort to put a stop te such a movement, in whatever quar- ter itmay be manifested. But while we thus speak of the motives and pur- poses and efforis of the Conrier, and of the clique which it represents, we can hardly believe their sincerity. We doubt whether they have put forth the true motives for the movement which they have announced their determination to carry out to-morrow night, at National Hall. Wedo not believe that there is any danger to be apprehended from abolitionism in New York—that there is any reason to fear that any portion of any party, demo- erats or whigs, willadopt the principles of the abo- litionists as a part of its creed. At no time in this city have the abolitionists been able as a party to muster more than a few hundred votes, and during recent years they have beendi- miaished to a miserable fraction of a few scores. The political intelligence of the masses of the citi- zens ot New York cannot be betrayed into any movement affiliated with the mad and ruinous schemes of abolitionism. Believing, therefore, as we are justified by facts in believing, that the Cou- rier has raised a false alarm and made a false issue, we are very much disposed to attribute their con: duct to a secret and interested motive, and that their purpose is to give, by a side-wind, an ad- vantage to a faction that has arisen during the last two or three years, with principles even more wicked, more detestable, and more dangerous, than hose held by the abolitionists. We allude to Mayor Harper and his faction, who would bring back the bloody atrocities—the burnings and con. flagrations—the tortures and murders—that char- acterised the religiovs wars and religious persecu- tions of Europe two cr three centuries ago. The Cowrier, with that cuaning whichis, after all, una- ble to conceal its purpose, has gone too far, and shown its cloven foot to too great a leagth, to make any reasonabie man believe that its dread of abolition prevailing in the whig party in this city is the real motive of the present movement. What renders it still more unlikely that the Couri is sine cere in its expressions of dread and alarn about disunion and treason against the States, is the fact that one of its principal editors—Charles King—has been out and out an abolitionist, from top to bot- tom, from the first moment of his connection with the prees tothe present. So he has been, and so he wiilremain, whilst he is connected with any press. It may bethe purpose of certain leading whigs in the interior of this State to affect to be aboli- tionists for the purpose of getting the votes of the “liberty” men. But we do not believe that there is any intention in this city to give an abolition as- pect to the whig party or to any party. But there is a plain and palpable effort, both publicly and se- cretly—in the open day and clandestinely—to ere- ate religious factions and parties in this communi- ty—to throw into all political conflicts the elements of sectarianism—and to lay the foundation of a train of events similar to that which disgraced Phi- ladelphia about a year ago. This purpose we at- tribute to the Courier inthe present movement, and we will see whether our interpretation of this sin- gular and inexplicable movement on the part of the Wall street clique be not correct to the letter. In the meantime, it would be well not only for the whigs—the old and respectable whigs—to wake up, but for men of all perties to come forth to- morrow night, and tosee that the destructive and dangerous elements, both of abclition on the one side and of “nativeism” on the other, or religions persecution, be driven trom the field ot polities and out of existence. The success of the future move ments—the very existence of the whig party de- pend on the eradication of those elements, aod ou this election, which 19 specialiy important not as between the democra's and the other parties, but as between the ‘‘natives” and the whigs. Let us see what the issue willbe. We should not be sur- prised if Col. Webbgo to the meeting, to witness a repetition of certain memorable scenes in the histo- ry of Tammany Hall. If he carry his jokes too far, the whigs may take a Jeaf out of Tammany Hall and eject him in @ similer way, The | Heowswie Yan WITH MEAtdO~ We age that the tuurier det Mate Unis offera the saitie aiggeation as we did relative to out relations with Mexico that as soon as the intelligence of the passage of the Texas resolutions in Congress reaches Mexico, that government will issue a decree confiscating all American vessels in the Mexican waters, and all property of American citizens in Mexico, on land and water This must, of course, at once lead to wer. Our government must do something immedi- ately or the difficulties will increase step by step.— Well, there is spirit enough in thiscountry to jump into such a belligerent movement. Our govern: ment could not resist the impulee of the national mind in gesistance to any attempt on the part of Mexico to despoil any of our citizens. In the event ofsuch @ war, France and England would ultimate- ly be brought into it, and the final result would be the complete annihilation of every vestige of Eu- ropean power on thiscontinent. Canada would be overrun in lees than six months. We have a popu. lation, it should be recollected, of twenty millions of people—as fearless, brave and as passionately fond of glory as ever were the ancient Romans, or the modern French under Napoleon. Nothing could stop our course. New York Apporntments.—The appointments recently made by President Polk for this ciiy—B. F. Butler—Elijah F. Pardy—and Prosper M. Wet- more—appear to satisfy all reasonable men. If he make es good a selection for Postmaster and Mar. shal, to supply the places of Mr. Graham and Silas M. Stillwell, when their terms expire, he will do very well. Mr Butler will make an excellent Dis. trict Attorney, and the appointment gratifies him personally, as it enables him to remain here and attend to his private business. Mr. Purdy willdo very well for Surveyor, and Mr. Wetmore will make an excellent, attentive and faithful Navy Agent. Some of the paperssay that Levi D. Slanm is likely to be made Marshal. We hope not. That is an office, trustworthy and responsible, and Slamm’s associations have not been exactly of the character to create a great deal of confidence. Caution To THE Pustic —The residents of this and other cities should be on their guard against certain stores recently established here and in ad- joining towns, with high sounding titles which profess to supply the public with superior articles, “direct fromthe manufacturers,” “pure and une- dulterated,” or ‘neat as imported,” at a ‘much less price” than other ‘long-established and well known and respectable dealers. These firms are generally got up “by the Lord knows who,” for there are no names set forth; they last but for a short time, inthe meanwhile take in the public with inferior articles, obtain goods to a considera- ble extent from merchants and others, on account of the respectable show they make, and then be- come non est inventus, and proceed to other parts “*to do likewise.” This was a common practice in London and Parisa few years since, and to euch an extent was it carried, that the authorities and corporate bodies were obliged to interfere for their suppression, and some of them having been driven from these places, may be found in this and ad- joining towns, carrying on their nefarious proceed- ings with impunity. hands of the public. establishment which have not the names of the bona fide proprietors, and at the same time let But the remedy lies in the Let them not patronize any dealers beware, even when names are given, that they are not those of “men of straw,” who are the willing tools of still greater knaves in the back- ground; by these means the public will protect themselves from imposition, support honest and fair tradesmen in their business, and do agreat service to themselves and the community genc- rally. Movements or TraveLtrrs.—The principal ho- tels of the city are rapidly filling up with Senators and members of Congress returning to their reepec- tive homes, well as merchants availing them- selves of the early intercourse with New York to form their spring arrangements. At the Astor, amongst others, are Major Armstrong, brother, and Francis Armstrong, Esq, nephew to the newly ap- pointed Consul at Liverpool. At the Howard, are the Honorables D. Russell and J. H. Wright of Massachusetis, Hon. R. McClelland of New York, Hon. D. Parmentier, the newly appointed Naval Officer at Boston. At the City Hotel, Hon. R. D. Owen of Indiana, J. H. Cheney, W. Wilson and ‘Thomas Jones, Esq:. of Mass. At the Globe, J. Fennimore Cooper, H. Suydam, Ezqs of N. York, J.C. Montgomery, late Postmaster at Philadel- phia, Mr. Glass of Hartford, and — Dexter, of Bos- ton. There appears at all the hotels a bustle un- usual at this season of the year, and a more nu- merous influx of travellers Pennsytvanta Senatortat, Evection.—The re- sult of the recent election in Pennsylvania for an United States Senator, seems to have astonished all parties. In the choice of Simon Cameron, all the political factions of that State have been demo- lished, and the seat vacated by Mr Buchanan will be occupied till 1849, by an independent democrat— one who will go for the interests of Pennsylvania without any reference to the wishes of the different cliques. By his superior generalship he was chosen by the whigs, democrats and natives. We know General Cameron very well, and look upon his election to the Senate as a capital one, for he isa shrewd, sensible man. He is in favor of Polk, but will probably go for the tariff of 1842 Tra or Bie Taunper.—This curious and im- portant trial comes on to-day in Hudson, before a Court of Oyer and Terminer, having been post- poned froma former term. Many important de- velopments in regard to the late anti-rent troubles will be made in the course of ‘the legal investiga- tion, and the proceedings will be looked for with anxiety by the public. We have, therefore, sent a special reporter to furnish a complete history of the trial, and all the incidents and information that may transpire, which will be published with alj degpatch on arrival. Our readers then, may look out for the best account of the trial of Dr. Bough- ton, alias Big Thunder, that ia practicable. THEATRICALS.—A great struggle is now going on amongst the theatres of this city—the cheap and nasty drama on the one hand, and the respectable and decent drama onthe other. The Park has re-opened under favorable auspices, and during the last week had excellent houses. A great deal Of talk and excitement have been produced in the lite, rary and fashionable circles relative to Mrs. Mow, ats new comedy, which is to be brought out ina style of great elegance at the Park. It it sueceed, the foundation will be laid of a new and origina movement in American theatrical affairs. We have the elements of geniue, originality, and humor, in greater abundance here than they are to be found in any of the countries of Europe, and we donot see why we cannot have as many new plays, de- scriptive of life and manners, as are produced in London and Paris. If theatrical managers would only be a little liberal and take a proper course, the cheap and nasty drama would soon be driven out of existence, Improvep Lamrs.—Some of the papers speak in high terms of an improved lamp lately introduced to this city by Woram & Haughwout, 561 Broad- way, who are agents for the inventor, Mr. Corne- lius, of Philadelphia. It is adapted to the combus- tion of lard, and that 20 admirably, as to produce, from this cheap material, a light incomparably more brilliant than that obtained from oil, &c., besides a degree of heat, which obviates the necessity of firein the same apartment. Many persons who have tested this lamp, pronounce it a real luxury, and the demand for it is increasing rae pidly. “Parenpty Sons or St. Patrice.”—This is St. Patrick’s day, and itis to be celebrated by the “Friendly Sons” of that excellent Saint, by a fee- tival at the City Hotel this evening, which pro- mises to be of more than ordinary interest. ‘Tur New Ansiviereation.-Mr Polk and fieW Cablaet, iow thet they have got inte thelr dents, and made some of theit_appointmenta, seem to be settling down into quiet and respectability.— The excitement which attended the formation of the Cabinet—their first movements—the nomina- tions first made to the Senate—seems to be rapidly subsiding into quiet aud content. The general complexion of affairs, and of the policy of the new administration, seems to corres- pond very mach with the intimations which a cor- respondent of ours made before the arrival of Mr. Polk at Washington. It wasthen represented tha! Mr. Polk had made up his mind to represent ali the cliques in his administration, and accordingly he has dealt out his favors on that principle. We think that this general view has been carried out. It is true according to Mr. Polk’s own view of it. The most treablesome men and material of great cliques are ihe leaders. Now it seems that Mr. Polk has got over that dil ty by overlooking them altogether. Wright, Benton, Calhoun, Cass, are all thrown overboard, Itis true Mr. Polk of- fered any seat in his cabinet to Mr. Wright, but he, like a wise man, threw himself overboard, and with him followed a number of the friends of Van Bu- ren, so that the whole of the recent rivals for the favor of the democracy at the Baltimore Conven- tion are now on the same boat. In dealing out the new appointments so far as they have gone, Mr. Polk and his advisers have followed the same principles of recognising all the various cliques, whilst giving the offices to pergons occupying a subordinate position in them. No doubt there will be a great deal of private grumbling, but what is that in a party of over a million ? Every thing in the present aepect of affairs indicates peace, and quiet, and repose ‘That was what we wanted. The ambitious aspi- tants for the succession cannot do much for two or three years, and in the meantime the adminis- tration may be able to give attention to public affairs, and a practical direction to the govern- ment. This is very desirable. We trust that the President will keep a sharp look out on Mr. Bu- chanan, and make him do his duty. Also on Mr. Marcy. Marcy is rather a slippery fellow. Par- ticularly let him lock after Cave Johnson; by no means forgetting Mr. Bancroft, Mr. Walker, and the rest of them. Forragr rrom Agoentine.—We are indebted to Captain Goodrich, of the Sirena, for files of Bue- nos Ayres papers, containing, among other things, the message of Rusas to the Argentine Legislature We make the following extracts touching upou the affairs of the United Stutes. ‘The government preserves perfect and fraternal har mony with the American States.

The biockade so urbitrarily and violently interrupted by this aggreasion has been re-established. The government to whom they made explicit declarations in a spirit of ex- ssive benevolence has viewed with esteem in this act tice and friendship an unequivocal proof of an ho- le and neutral line of conduc:. It has ordered the ine Minister at Washington to demand from the government of the United States complete satisfaction and reparation.

Schemes for reforming the whole world, teem forth from day to day with the most gratifying fertility, and what though they do not effect their object—that does not controvert the truth, that the world stands in need of purification. Feathers show the way the wind blows; and the wind is not curtailed of any of its force by so frail an index. No mat- ter about the sign--the thing signified is signifi cant; and af political economy be true, why should not public estimation put a market value upon those species of commodities called movements and reforms, as well as upon ostrich feathers, gold dust, the dust of the schools, and we say it with reverence—heraldic escutcheons ? Many have been the benevolent efforts to bless mankind at large by the multiplication of law—the elevation of theology, the concentration of the potent resources of medicine; and nocountry under the sun 1s blessed with more of these—of which a large proportion are ‘native, and to the manner born,” than “the land we live in.” But, to be just, she has in one reepect been behind her des- tiny; in one particular at least the old world has been in advance of her; she has, with reluctance it must be confessed, and with a due sense of hu- miliation at being obliged tomake the disparaging admission—hitherto—alack-a-day ! she has had no ‘*Herald’s College.” An illustrious reformer has arisen to supply the deficiency. ‘In Manhattan there was a voice heard of Jamentation and mourning—the Knicker- bockers grieving for their children, because they were not” enrolled in the heraldic register. With lively pleasure we announce that General Arlington Bennet has opened ‘* The American Herald’s College,” in the Granite buildings, corner of Broadway and Chambers street, in the city of New York, State of New York, United States of America. {t iswith well founded hope that this announce- ment will afford solid satisfaction to that numerous and bighly respectable class who believe that a rose by any other name would not smell as sweet—that a family withouta coat of armsmight as well have its sons without dress coats and its daughters with- ames, show their lineage, prove to a wicked, per- verse and skeptical generation that they had grand- fathers and grandmothers, that they come into the world in the usual way, but on an improved princi- ple, and that it is not trae that “their blood Has crept through scoundrels ever since the flood.” How many pearls of purest ray lie buried in the caves of the ocean—how many quarts of patrician blood course through the arterial systems of our leather dealers, ship chandlers, stock jobbers, and so forth?

It is firmly believed that in: this city, there live at the present day, lord knows how many lineal de- scendants of Noah, Nebuchadnezzar, and Joseph: who had the unlucky interview with Pharaoh’s wife—Constantine the Great Richard Cour de ‘ion; Guy, Earl of Warwick ; Jack the Giant Killer, Whittiagton, Lord Mayor of London; Esop, Brutus, and hundreds besides of the great names of the days of yore; and itis a melancholy fact, that nothing stronger than a sly suspicion that they are something over and above the consolatory per- suasion that they have more ard than wit (the sure mark of distinction in the 19th century,) ex- iste in the shape of testimony, of their illustrious lineage. To be sure, in not a few instances, the advantage may be altogether on the side of obli- vion,and tradition may furnish as agreeable a guide as the recorded truth; but those who are disposed to let the bones of their sires rest in peace for wise reasons, can stay at home and not engage the ser- vices ot General Arlington Bennet ; neverthelees, let those who have a penchant for genealogy indulge in it; and who should blame them for paying so much a head into the coffers of the Herald’s Col- lege for a chart of their descent {rom any of those personages above mentioned—of several othersnot to be mentioned—any of those 4 “Departed spirits of the mighty dead, They who at Marathon aud Leuctra bled.” We have it on the authority of General Arlington Bennet, that this is an illustrious republic,in which he is quite right—that other republics, among the anciente, Venice, Genoa, Florence, Pisa, attended to heraldry and therefore, so should the United States. Of course, on such capital authority, we ure bound to believe that Americans ought to en- dorse the ferocipies and imitate the customs of their republican predecessors—to have Helots like the Spartans—an agrarian law like the Romans—a Councilof Ten like Venice, and a Protectorlike the Commonwealth of England, and by all means culti- vate the science of heraldry. Further, onthe same authority wo learn, that ‘‘no true American can refuse to sanction the institution of an American Herald’sCollege—that heraldry belongs to the whole family of man”—that “the must be less than human who has no pride of character, or thirst for immor- tality”—both of which are in the gift of the Herald’s College, to be sure; and, consolatory reflection! that the Herald's College is supplied with more than eighty quarto and folio volumes of the most approved works on heraldry, ancient and modern, from all the countries of Europe, with many rare manuscripts, so that those who wish to trace their out Has will have every facility afforded them. erily, we live ina great country, where every man may become immortal for the small charge of five dollars, “and no money returned ” “Cheapness isthe order of the day,” as was well said by one of the two-penny postage law orators, at the Exchange meeting, the other day; it has worked well in the post office system in Britain, and, to the great delight of this enlightened com- munity, ithas been adopted here.
