This would be a very strong and popular ticket, avoiding all extremes, and getting rid of all rivalries. Crittenden is a high-minded, ta- lented whig—supported the Mexican war—and would be acceptable to the friends of Clay, Scott, and Taylor, respectively. Such a ticket would have an admirable chance for the vote of New York. We wait with patience for the reault, The Demonstration of the Barnburners— Great Cry, but Little Wool. Yesterday afternoon, the great demonstration of the barnburners took place in the Park, in opposi- | tion to the regular nomination of Cass and Butler. The weather was most beautiful—the sun shone over the trees and the City Hall with great bril- ancy, and the fresh western breeze carried health and happiness, besides eloquence, on its. ‘wings. The meeting was rather large; but a considera- ble portion was made up of whigs and Cass me: with a small eprinkling of “our colored brethren of the most sable kind. There was “great ery and little wool.” A full report will be found in our columns to-day. Mr. C. C. Cambreleng was one of the first speakers; but beyond the few hsteners on the stage, and the reporters near him, he was heard by few in thé™crowd. During his speech, great | shouts broke out in different portions of the crowd for “Cass and Butler—hurra for Cass and Butler.” After Mr. Cambreleng had finished, a terrific phout was raised for “John Van Buren”— “Prince John”—*John Van Buren ”—* Prince John forever!” John soon made his appearance, and made gute an animated speech to those around hun—few else could hear a word. We refer our readers to the report. John said—* No | matter who the whigs nominate, the barnburners will not support him.” The meeting, on the whole, was rather fair asa de> monstratien—perhaps four or five thousand of barn- burners, whigs, hunkers, and a considerable lot of negroes at the first go ofi—equal to defeat General Cass in this State; but even that is not absolutely certain. It wound up with two Cass meetings on the outskirts of the crowd. It counted in numbers and respectability about the same which have marked all the previous secessions or insurrections im the democratic party, during the last twenty years, It may last just long enough to take the vote of New York from General Cass and give it to the whigs, if they nominate a good man; but can have no permanent existence. It is only an organ- ized insurrection. whigs make their nomination, to-day or to-morrow, in Philadelphia. Then we will know where we are. The only capital made at the meeting w done by John Van Buren. His speech was a five one on his side of the fence—full of wit, point, elo- quence and sarcasm. His debut is a bit, und he is get down as a splendid speaker, by all parties. At the close, some gentlemen proposed to goto Sher- wood & Fisher’s, in Broadway, and get a few oysters. John tumed up the tail of his eye and asked, “is that a good place to liquor?” This pro- duced a roar of merriment, and away they went. It is now said that Crittenden and Clayton will be the candidates of the whig convention, and may be nominated to-day. Tue Aporrrionists of THR Nortu.—The aboli tioniats, of the various colora, are beginning to agitate in the free States of the North, in re- ference to the next Presidency, Some time ago, in New England, Senator Hale, of New Hamp- shire, was put forward asa candidate for the Pres;- dency, by a certain section of the Union. We ob- serve, also, that a liberty convention has been held at Rochester, in this State, where Gerritt Smith, of Otsego county, has been nominated for the Presidency. The Wilmot proviso party, a fragment of the democracy, will soon meet at Uti- | ca, and put forward their candidate for the Presi- dency ; so that in the course of a few weeks, we will have three different and distinct candidates for the Presidency, nominated by as many different factions, who make a great noise and fuss about free labor, and the rights of the colored race, in op- position to negro slavery of the Southern States. Four years ago, in the greatelection for Presi- dent, the abolitionists had but one candidate; that was Birney—to him they gave over sixty thousand votes. Since that time abolition agitation has rather increased than diminished, besiaes breaking itself into three distinct factions, each with its own candidate. The chances, therefore, are, that the aggregate vote of the abolitionists, of all colors and shades, will reach one hundred thou- sand next November. Hoth the old parties, whigs and democrats, will sufler some by these secessions. Pesiic Mecrixes.—We would suggest to persons about calling public meetings in this city, the pro- priety of convening them at an earlier hour in the evening than eight o'clock. When they are called at that hour, it is seldom that they are organized | before half-past eight; the reading of resolutions, &e., occupies the time till nine, and then the speeches are made. Now, we desire to give full Teports in this journal of all public meetings of im- portance ; and we can assure the managers or di- Tectors of them, that an hour after ten or eleven o'clock is of great importance to the printers, as well as to the reporters, of newspipe: regulated so that all public meetings should be con, vened at seven, we would have an extra hour to do justice to the proceedings, and publish all the (Sunday included,) twe cents | All is yet inthe wind, till the | ifit were | | Gevenat, Tavton's Position. ~The Lowiuvidle | Jounal, St. Louis Republican, and many other newspapers, seem to take much interest in ex- Intat Demonsreyniay—le Puatosgs ap Pro | | Rant Consaquances.-We published in yester- | day's paper, a report of the proceedings and speeches that took place at the Irish demonstration in the Tabernacle, in this city, om Monday evening last. The demonstration, which was apparently ihade | with the view of expressing sympathy to the Irish | people in their struggle for a separate nationality, | and affording them help in money and means, to as | greut an extent as possible, consistent with a due observance of the laws of the land, had likewise another object in view, and that object may be at tended hereafter with consequences of a very seri: ous nature. Ina word, the other, and ag we think | the principal, objzect in view of the getters up and prime movers of this demonstration, was a_politi- cal one; and in order to illustrate it, we must pre- | mise our exposition of the real objects of this meet- | ing by simply laying down two propositions: First, | that we are on the eve of a Presidential election; and second, that there is in the United States a large number of Irish voters, who, by their union in support of, or in opposition to, the respective candidates, can either elect or defeat them. The nominees of the democratic party are ulrea- dy before the world; and those of the whigs will be blazoned forth to-morrow or the next day. About | election times, the Irizh people are hugged and ca- ressed almost to death, by the two great parties. Patrick O'Flaherty, a highly respectable carrier of bricks an@ mortar, who, in the course of hislife, has had many ups and downs in the world, in a pro- fessional point of view, finds himself dubbed Mr. O'Flaherty, and occasionally Mr. O’Flaherty, Esq., and no less; and Mr. O'Flaherty, Esq., being an American citizen, and his vote counting one, as well as all others, is politely applied to by each to cast his ballot for its candidate. The various oc- casions on which the candidate in question (or, if the candidate has not had the honor, the party to which he belongs,) has advocated the rights of Ire- land, and poured forth his sympathies for her mis- fortunes, and his fire and brimstone against Eng- land and the English government, as the cause of them, are eloquently pourtrayed; and Pat’s heart be- ing touched, he innocently gulps down the dose prepared for him, and immediately votes for the champion of his native country. The democrats practised this game to a great extent; and it is not assuming too much to say, that in many elections— city, state, and national—they owed their triumphs to their electioneering policy towards our Irish citizens. We are, then, on the eve of the Presi- dential election, and the Irish voters, who are very important about election times, must not be overs looked. But it happens that the whigs have taken a leaf out of the locofoco manual of election tactics, and seem to think that, as all is fair in politica, they might as well try and procure some of the Irish votes, so as to counterbalance the number inveigled away by the demoerats, Apt scholars, as politicians of all parties are, in the learning of trickery and deception, they have become as efficient in wheed- ling the Irish, about election times, into the support of their candidates, as the locofocos have been in times past ; so that, in that respect, the two parties are on a par; for both can now point to the services which their respective parties have done towards Ireland. Both parties have, therefore, tacitly agreed that | he who bids the highest, who talks the loudest, who dilates the most pathetically, on Ireland’s wrongs; who attributes the most virtue to the Irish people—the most integrity to her men, and the greatest charms to her women, and who de- claims the most bitterly against England--her Queen, Lords, and Commons—on account of Ire- lund’s wrongs and Irish injuries, shall have the | Irish votes. Hence the struggle at the Tabernacle on Monday evening last. The old hunkers, repre- sented by Mayor Havemeyer, Senator Hannegan, and Benjamin F. Butler, did wonders. They made a great impression—they decidedly had the best of it. The barnburners, in the person of John Van | Buren, bid high. That distinguished burner of granaries did very well; buthissentences were too | long. He made up, however, in the matter of “arms.” That reached the point, and as long as it lasted, Prince John was in a fair way of throw- | ing Hannegan, Butler and McKeon in the shade; | but it must be recollected that Hannegan went | into the * poor Irish boy ”” business, and very pa- | thetieally alluded to O’Connell’s heart, and Em- | mett’s monument. There Hannegan had the best | of it, and demolished the “arms,” and the right under the constitution to ship them to Ireland. | The whiga had their turn, and were represented | by the white coat and that battered hat. The hat | and coat, however, remained too long in the rear. | Their owner endeavored to bring up and reach the point accomplished by his predecessors of the other factions, but the hcur was too late—it was pa- proaching midnight—the audiences got thin—he | lagged, got behind, and the meeting adjourned. | The huokers, therefore, as fur as the Irish demon- stration is concerned, made the most espital thus far; and accordins to present appearances, will carry the most Irish votes at the Presidential | election in November next. | In sober+seriousness, therefore, this Irish de- | monstration was nothing but an attempt, by the dif- | | ferent political factions and parties, to get the Irish yote next November, and may justly, in our opi- | nion, be looked upon as the second grand attempt | in the history of polities in the United States, to | | organize our Irish fellow citizens into a separate | and independent party, and, we fear, one likely to result in consequences similar to those which suc. ceeded the organization brought about by our re- | verend friend, Bishop Hughes, a few years since, in | this city. The school system of the State of New | York did not meet his views; and, therefore, he is- | sued his dictum to the faithful that it must be | amended ; and in view of the right of suffrage be- ing the most speedy and efficient agent for pro. ducing changes, he determined upon ayailing | himself of that weapon to accomplish his purpose, From the altar he immediately descended, with the perfume of the holy incense around him, to the | floor of Carroll Hall, and there he organized his party of Irish voters, who were to vote as he dic- tated, and for the purposes which he had in view. He succeeded in organizing a separate Irish party; and what were the consequences? History tells us there was a counter organization—there was con- flict—there was bloodshed—there was murder; and the blackened walls of the Church of St. Augus- plaining the political position of General Taylor, should he be passed over by the whig convention, and another nominated for the Presidency. They have affirmed positively that the old hero will not be a candidate in opposition to the whig nominee; while they admit he said that he is in the hands of his friends and those who have made him a candidate during the last year. We think there is a great deal of false special pleading in these explanations. There is a large portion of the independent masses who mani- fested a preference in favor of General Taylor, who will never give him up as their candidate, but will run him, whether he consents or not; and in this partof the country, the fragment that remains of the element of the native party will be revived for this purpose, The recent attempt in this city, by Emmett and Hogan, to organise the Irish voters into a political party, will only tend to excite the old materials of nativiem into a high state of effer- vescence, General Taylor will be run as a candidate for the Presidency,at all hazards, and against all con- tingencies; and of this there can be no doubt. Heretofore, the whigs have suffered most; but now, the democrats will suffer also. The effect of these movements on the Presidential election cannot exactly be calculated at this moment. The aboli- tion vote of 1844, taken from the whig ranks, ele- vated Mr. Polk to the Presidency. Parties are now more even. News rrom Evrorr.—There are now four steamers on the Atlantic, bound to the United States. The Acadia, which left Liverpool on Saturday, the 27th ultimo, will be due here on Saturday next. The Washington, from Southamp- ton, was to have left on the 1st instant, and may be expected on the 14th.

Hest OF red CorymSasant Pox wv tHe Piet | of Wanp.—We understand thatan act, which deserves to | be looked upon by all who desire to tee our city free from contegian, as almost criminal, was committed Inst week by certain parties. It appears that the authori- ties of Staten Island debarked s steamboat load of newly arrived emigrants at the foot of North Moore street, in the Fifth ward,one of whom was seriously ill with that dreadful and loathsome disease, the small pox. The invalid was, with the rest of the emigrants, deposited in the Fifth ward; and as might be expected from human nature, under the circumstance, the near- | est abiding place, where the sick individual could procure shelter, was obtained. What were the consequences? Such as might have been ex- pected to arise under such circumstances at this season of the year. imparted to those who attended the sick bed— feom them to the occupants of the house; from them to the neighborhood; and from them to the whole ward; and we would not beat all suprised, if it extended to the whole city, and made every other house therein a small box hospitel. Is there no preventive of such calamitics? Isthe health of the population of our city to be endangeréd in this way, or is there a remedy? ‘This case, we arv informed, was properly attested, and brought to the notice of Judge Hurlbut, before whom the question is pending, whether the foot of Hubert street shall be devoted to the landing of emigrants during the ensuing hot season; or whether they shall be landed at s point in the upper portion of the city, where the risks of the spread of contagion would be | diminished minety-nine per cent. We hope it will have ite due effect in the decision to which the learned judge shall arrive; and we hope further, that whatever that deesision may be, our citizons will take every means in their power to prevent New York being converted into a great small pox hospital, as it would be in case the project of landing passengers in a thickly populated portion of the city, in the hot sum- mer months, were carried out. Tue Enrine State.—Yesterday afternoon, the pier No. 8, North River, was lined with spectators, in order to witness the departure of the Empire State, and the Bay State, two truly steamboat pala The latter under command of Captain Brown, took her departure | at four o'clock, with a respectablo number of passen- gers, for Boston direct, by water. The Empire Stato, commanded by Captain Comstock, is a new boat, mea- suring over 200 tons more than the Bay State, and fitted up in the most sumptuous and recherché style. The ladies’ saloon is covered with the most costly Turkey carpets; the sofas and divans aro of black walnut, covered with damask of blue and gold; tho state rooms and berths are neat and beautiful beyond description ; the upper promenade deck is richly car- peted, and tho sofas and chairs are painted adark bluc, edged with gold, giving tho fout ensemdle a magnificent effect. The englae appears to be of the highest finish. made by Allaire & Co, She was visited yesterday by a vast number of ladies and gentlemen, who were all struck with astouishment at the grandeur and beauty of all thé inside arrangements. She left the dock at five o'clock, with a very large number of passenge! amid the cheers of usands on the docks and ship- ping ; a very excellent band was provided on board, who struck ‘up # national air, and off she wont with flyiug colors, the ladics waving their white handker- chiefs, bidding their last adieu to their friends on shore. Captain Comstock is an old and experienced captain, and a right good fellow, making friends whero- ever hw goes; so much 60, that the travelling commu- nity frequently remain over a day longer on purpore to go on by his boat—such is his favor with the public. ‘The Bay State, after her repairs, will in about eight days renew her placc again, and in connection with the Empire State, will form the regular line between here and Boston. Tue Mariners’ Society.—The Mariners’ Family Industrial Society have just fasued theic fourth anouai report. It is the most interesting one since the orga- nization of the Society. Tho prospects of the Society are, indeed, encouraging. I ts object, as the public is already aware, is the relief of destitute female relatives of seamen, by furnishing them appropriate labor at good wages. During the past year there have been employed 181 of thin class ; they hive made 9150 gar- ments, and have received as wages, the sum of $2,225 48, Tho report contains on intorerting account of the efforts of this Society to procure an act of the L egisla- ture. appropriating funds to be under the direction of the Seamen's Fund and Ketreat.for the pur, ose of build- ing a home for the aged and destitute relatives of sca- men, After much opposition, they at last succeeded in obtaining so desirabie and Justa request. The la- dies deserve much praire for their persevering labors in getting this act passed. The fund from which this ap- propriation was made. byng the Mariners’ or Passen- gers’ fund. has given rise to some conflicting views 4s to the propriety of the Legislature making such an appropriation. ‘This question is thoroughly canvassed in this report ; it gives a history of this fand, and the manner in which it has been appropriated since its ori- gin. The intrinsic importance of the matter con- tained in this history, gives it a permanent val for reference. Any wishing to procure this valuabi report, can be accommodated by calling at 322 Pearl street; it will repay a careful perusal. We most cor- dially commend this benevolent society to the liberal bencfactions of the public, Anorner Rich Max Gone.— Yesterday, Mr. Hors- burgh, of No. 84 Hudson street. in this city, died, lea’ ing a very large property, which he had accumulated some years ago as a merchant of this city. The de- ceased was but little known to the present generatio: but to the old citizens he was intimately kuown.. His Property was large. and the whole interest of i 8 8 it he expended annually for all sorts of charitable rposer, with the exception of about eight hundred or & thousand dollars, which he reserved for his own ex- penses. Mr. Hor-burgh came to this aountry about fifty years ago. from St, Andrews. in Scotland. of which place he was a native. He resided a long time in Alex- andria, where he pursued mercantile business; and thon he cams to New York, where he entered into part- nership with Mr. McRae, ‘and rubsequently with tho late Joha Mason, formerly President of the Chemical Bank. ‘The Grm existed for several years, until both of the partners retired from busivess with large for- tunes. Mr. Horaburgh has left behind him. three nephews in this country, who, it is probable, will be the heirs of his immense property. The character of the deceased was that of the mo-t generous and charitable man that ever lived in New York. The whole of the interest of his immense property. as we have already stated. was given every year to charitable purposes.

Wittiam Staexrt. — As there will shortly be two branches of thin street at the northern extremity, it is desirable they should be appropriately doxignated from each other, Inasmuch as the new terminus or opening to Chatham street, will be in a direct line with the southern or bysiness part of the street, and of which future great thoroughfare it will properly form a por- tion, ,it should be known as-such ; while the old line of Whitam atreet, from Franklin to Pearl, can'be ap- propriately called East William street, Why not have jis rection of old William street rechristened and ro- numbered forthwith ?

Hither all eagerly rushed, and lnckil Jemmy Owens had his platform erected preparatory to the ‘Taylor meeting of this afternoon. Jemumy is one of those sages who know that the philosopher's stor is “ pay as you go.” He, therefore, determined to 1 sist the threatened invasion most manfully. Here was a crowd spprosching, who appeared to havo an inten- tion to use his stand. without so much as saying “ by your leave.” an infringement of his natural and iu- | alienable rights that he would not tamely submit to, With a bravery equal to the emergency, he threw him- sely iuto the breach, and waved back the sorried h. bearing down upon him, with the announceme fiance. * You can’t come up unless my, however. were New Yorkers and sty not acquainted with Jemmy’s tactic to mount tho stage nolens vo down opposition, scaled the from the spectators hailed the victory, and the most ardent Clay man advanced to the front of the stage, to commence the demonstration.

But ho would say that he went for Clay with all his heart and soul, He was willing to die a political death in the grave of the gallaut Clay, and wait for the resurrection."! (Tremendous applause and groans.) Three cheers for General ‘Taylor were here given pretty loudly, “ It won't do.” said Mr. C., “there are only six of youin tho whole meeting.” (Groans and laughter.) Mr. Wagner, the Poughkeep- keepsie blacksmith, next camo forward, and proceeded to show why Mr. Clay ought to be nominated in pre- ference to Gen. Taylor. He was very enthusiastic in favor of whig principles and the great whig candidate. His speech, however, was constantly interrupted by dissenting Taylor men, and the affair assumed quite a discussional character. “ Mr, Clay is the man for the time,” said the orator—* His day is gone by.” shouted some one from the crowd.

New Yous Yacut Cuvn Race.—Tho annual rozatia took place yesterday, from opposite the Elysian Fields, Hoboken, at ten o'clock.

When this accident happened, the Cornelia was,about three-quarters of amile ahead; and would, beyond a doubt, have held her own, had the Maria continued without accident. Thus the Cornclia won the rac making the forty miles,in a little over Ave hours, beating the Maria some forty-cight minutes. ‘The Maria would have been the second in, had she not met with the accident; as it was, the Siren was secoud in the second class boats, the Cygnet was first; uille second; Spray third; Dream fourth, and th ancet fifth. The winning boat was built by Mr. | George Steers, of Williamsburgh; and a beautiful mo- | | del she ia, Three others who were likewise in the race— the Siren, Cygnet and La Coquille, were all. built by Mr. Steers—all very fast railing orafts. ‘The disabled Maria was taken in tow from her an- chorage, by the steamboat Eurcka, and conveyed to Hoboken.

Col. Powell left the fort on the 13th for Grand Island, whero he was to orect a fort. Tho several companies of the battalion had left at different times previously. From the news recently received from Oregon, it is suggested that the command may hope to be sent in that direttion imma. diately, to protect the inhabitanis from tl the Indians.
