Singular Position and Movements of the Whig Party In the City of New York. The whig party in this metropolis is at present in the most interesting position, in consequence of the ultra movements of the Fourierite section, and the eflorts of the other section to put itdown. As our | readers have seen from our report of the extraordi- | nary meeting in Canal street, on Tuesday evening | last, this contest has assumed a singularly exciting | and the Chinese” Evening. Mr. Fletcher Webster's Lecture on China | with thelr ornamented. the Tabernacle, Last A very crowded and fashionable audience assem- | bled at the Tabernacle last evening, to hear Mr. Fletcher Webster’s first lecture on “ China and the Chinese” The attractive character of the subject, and a very general desire to hear the son of one ot our greatest inen, and who himsel{ enjoys a highly respectable reputation as a gentleman of distinguish- | ed literary acquirements, sufficiently accounted for the numerous attendance, We notieed almost all the leading members of the legal profession, many | of our most noted divines, a great number of our most influential merchants, female beauty, elegance, and fashion, which might | and a congregation ot have inspired even an ordinary speaker. But Mr. | Webster certainly discovered on this occasion that and laughable form, and promuses to be passing rich | b¢ 18 Not an unworthy representative of a name great in all sorts of amusing developments Yet there never was a period when sucha fair prospect presented itself to the whigs of this ‘city | ent j in the Annals of oratory.

The natives are in the last stage of a miserable and paralytic existence. On all hands there were the most cheering indications of the success of whig unanimity, whig diseretion, and whig harmony. But instead of the meeting in Canal street resulting as it ought to have done, in the gathering and union of the whole whig forces, and the adoption of a wise and judicious system of assault upon the opposing party, the introduction of the personal quarrels of the party editors threw eve- ry thing into confusion, ridicule and disorder. Suil there are some indications that this singular business will not be wholly unproductive of more fortunate results. The great mass of the whig people appear to be now thoroughly awakened to the dan- ger—the folly, of committing the destinies of their partyin this great metropolis to the hands of un- principled party editors. It is very extensively ask- ed—‘ What are the personal rivalries between Webb and Greeley, and Brooks, to us? Ought we to al- low the interests and success of the great whig par- ty to be sacrificed to the paltry fueds of party news- paper proprietors end editors ?” Thus has been sug- gested the propriety, indeed, the absolute necessity of abandoning all connection with the party papers; for itis well known by the course of these violent ultra party journals, that they are merely the organs of cliques of politicians, and intelligent, practical men begin to deliberate on the expediency of adopt- ing an entirely uew system in the employment of the _ press in the service of political princioles and party views. They are thus approaching that time when they will employ the newspapers just as they would any place of public meeting—selecting only those that have a large circulation and commanding in- fluence, and independent position, and so save them- selveé from the tyranny and dangerous alliance of such selfish, unprincipled and unreliable instruments as the mere party papers. This is a plain and common sense view of the mat- ter. It does credit to the intelligence and shrewd ness of the great mass of the whig party. The strength, dignity, and value of the independent prees, are daily becoming more and more apparent. And in the same ratio the folly, imbecility and mad- nese of the party press are developing themselves. Never was there such a signal example of the utter folly and rancour, and bad spirit of the newspaper press connected with any party, as that presented at the whig meeting on Tuesday night. The success of the independent press, and the new elements of civilization, coming into action | throughout the country, will certainly work a great revolution in the movements of party journals. The | newspaper press will be and is gradually rising to be wholly an independent element of civilization, | and it will be in the service of the party only as it | will be in the service of any advertiser or man of business, a lawyer, or statesman—the impartial or- gan of communication with the public. Look {or | instance at the position of the New York Herald in point of circulation, intelligence, impartiality and power. We have a comprehensive circulation of nearly fifty thousand throughout the whole country and in foreign parts. We give impartial, and correct, and interesting reports of all public movements in religion, politics, science, commerce, trade, manu- factures, society, civilization, theatricals, literature, and everything. We speak out independently on all subjects, and on all occasions an independent judgment and opinion. The result is a daily in- | creasing patronage from a liberal and discerning public, whilst on the other hand,’such party journals as the Tribune, Courier, and Express, are disgust- like all the other organs of faction, fall and perish from off the face of the earth. What should the great whig party do in this cri- | sis! They should treat with contempt the squab- | bles, and quarrels, and jealousies of party newspaper | editors—unite their forces and make a strong effort on all those great questions in which they are per- fectly agreed. Abolitionism, fourierism, anti-rent- ism, and all the other isms of the day may be blown | into a brief existence by madmen and crazy philoso- phers, but never can prevail. Let the whigs avoid contact with these disturbing elements. They never had in this city such a chance to thrash their antagonists, if they only have sense and intelligence enough to make the proper use of the golden oppor- tunity. Mr. Frercwer Wensrer’s Lecture on Cana.— We give in another portion of our paper, this morn- | ing, a report of the very interesting lecture on China | and the Chinese, delivered at the Tabernacle last | evening, by Mr. Fletcher Webster. From the pas- sages which our reporter has given, our readers | must be very favorably impressed with the powers of active and intelligent observation possessed by | the lecturer, and aleo with his ability to describe in agraphic and agreeable manner what he has seen | ‘Side by side with che erudite and philosophical dis- | 2ourses of Dr. Herniez, these lectures of Mr. Fletcher Webster must have the effect of stimulating in a very ocnsiderable degree, the interest beginning to | be 80 widely felt in everything connected with China. Our commercial intercourse with that re- markable country will be at no distant day vastly augmented, and a knowledge of the literature, lan- guage, customs and character of the Chinese people, becomes, therefore, invested with practical import- ance and value, apart from the interest which it pos- sesses in view of the scholar and man of letters. Lectures, memoirs, and books on China and the Chinese will, we doubt not, be now very popular in this country.
