General Taylor on the Stump.—A Great Speech. The contest for the Presidency waxes warm. General Taylor himself has got excited, and mounted the stump. Let Daniel Webster stop his fishing and fowling for one day in Marshfield, and read it carefully over. Let Ogden Hoffman aban- don his splendid figures of speech, and take new Jessons in oratory. Let Leshe Coombs, the greatest speaker in buffoonery we ever had in these diggings, take the next cab, and drive to the Astor House as fast as possible. Our paper of yesterday was the only newspaper in the city which contained the admirable and charactenstic speech delivered by General Taylor, at a barbecue given to him by his politigal‘friends at Pass Chris- tian, on the 16th inst. Wéhope our readers have read it, for itis worthy of & careful perusal, beng an incident of the present~canvass, which will shave considerable effect on* thé result of the elec- tion, particularly in the West and South West. This address of General Taylor is iadeed char- acteristic of the man. The language is- simples plain, and easily comprehended. The sentiment which pervades it 1s modest and ingenious, yet firm and determined. After referring to the oceasion, which, he said, put him in mind of the scenes which he participated rm in early jife—to similar scenes ‘at which the men of ron hearts and iron nerves presided, fwho as. sisted Washington in achieving the indepen- dence of his country—he paid a handsome tribute to the gallant volunteers who fought uader lim in his glorious battles in Mexico, to whom he, in his modesty, said the country was indebted for the victories. The rebuke which he administered to Secretary Marcy, General Scott, and Chevalier Wykofi, is dignified and pointed. He referred to the order that stripped him of his best troops, and commanded him to act on the defensive, which, with the halter round his neck, he determined not f ~-od reasons, to give h-* to comply with; but, tor eve. - gi tle with his smaii! force of 450 regular troops and 4,000 volunteers, against twenty thousand of the enemy. That order, he said, was given at hazard, and in ignorance of his situation and that of the enemy and the coumay m which he was in; and the erore he took the responsibility of not com- plying with it. The result proved the s@undness of his reasoning, and the wisdom of *us disere- | hon There is a remark similarity im le, dic- tion and sentiment, between this address and the admirable, piquant, and forcible despatches which emanated from him from time to time during the recent war with Mexico rused both, ean fora moment doubt that he who | delivered the one wrote the others. They are ex- actly parallel. The me common sense runs through all--there is the same modesty and simpli- city in all, the same execllent choice of words, and the same re ity, order, and aptitude in them to express exactly what the speaker and | writer intended to convey, and be understood by | those for whom they we med This stump speech of ( vered in th the best that has been present can- vase: and we think it very probable that it will part: tent influence in his favor through. exercise & Fr * + eoming election. out the countiy 19 the .

Never before was party seen in such a divided, broken and fragmental state as the whig party at the present day—there is a complete breaking up ' among them. Like school-boys, at “breaking-up,”” they seem to be rushing out of school, scattering in al! directions, tossing up their caps, and venting their rage and vexation against toeir masters: Now, all this is precieely as we predicted. The old political land-marks are breaking dewn; the old zig-zag fence hae become rotten—it is tumbling down on all sides, and im ite fall precipitates to the ground those who were sitting or nding upon it, We are glad of it. Under the name and influence of General Taylor, aided by the strong sense and strong pen of an in- dependent press and an independent people, we see a new party arising, which will swallow up all the coteries and cliques of selfish individual poli- ticlans—and that party is the independent party of the American people. its both lamentable and astonishing to contem- plate how the people of this country have been led, | ruled, and governed bya few, a very few men, who, collecting the masses together in meetings, and con- ventions, (in which they had every thing ready cut- | and-dried for themselves,) afterwards tumed, twisted, used and abused the American people just as they pleased. The reign and misrule of wire- pullers, of selfish, artful, intnguing individu- | als, are coming to an end, and we are glad of it. | A vicious system of trading journalism first led to | and established these shackles, and a more noble, | bold, and independent system has led to its destruc- tion. The nomination of General Taylor—together with the firmness, boldness, honesty, and simpli- ity of that truly American hero—will ive a death | blow to the clique-government which has hitherto made and un-made, built up or pulled down, the | government, which ought to have been that of the whole American people. What astonishing efforts the whig leaders and wire-pullers have made, to | get hold of General Taylor, to tie him down and | Ue him up, and bind and fetter him, as the Lilh- | putians did Gulliver, with all sorts of little pack- threads, that they mignt have him stretched on the | ground, at their mercy and disposal; or lead him | about, like a tamed elephant, to carry them en his shoulders, and lift them up to an elevation which ; Goes not belo tothem! General Taylor is de- | serving both of great praise and admiration, that he has remained unmoved by their threats notto take him up, or by their promises and flatteries that they would take him up; and instead of selliag himself to them, and binding himself hand and foot in their toils, has chosen the better and nobler | course of devoting himself untrammelled to the service of his country, and of the American people. The malice, hatred, and yituperation of the caucus-men of the whig party will not hurt Gene- ral Taylor; the people will desert these men, these would-be leaders and guides, and leaving them to fume and fret at their loss of place, influence, and pone will go for General Taylor. This is the breaking up of the whi party, of which we spoke; it is the act of the people cutting loose from the men who have Jed them in rank and file for years past, and not suflered them to take an independent step of their own out of the ranks—cutting loose from these drum-majors, and acting for them- selves and their true interests, with such a leader as General Taylor, and such lights as an unbought, unsold, and unhired popular press. As we developed in a former article, the betray- ers of the people have been the men who have con- ducted a press notoriously sold to, and hired by, some clique or party. After many years of a hard fought battle, these hireiings have been routed and defeated, horse, foot and dragoons. The New York Herald began the fight, it has eee car- ned it on, and will never flinch from the battle field. The people have seen the spectacle of the contest, and have joined en masse against them, and the result has been the nomination of General Tay- lor, and the emancipation of the American people from a vile system of secret leadership, pettyfog- ging, caucussing, impudent wire-pulling, and base individual selfishness. Medicines and Medical Men. The.medical-profession of this country constitutes a curious feature in our every-day-life. It is divided into two distinct classes, namely, the regular and the irregular practice. Connected with the former, there are several hundred medical schools and colleges scat- tered over the United States, and some of the gra duates of those colleges have already attained the highest degree of eminence. We could mention many in New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, New Orleans: and other large cities, who are highly distinguished fof their professional excellence, But the success achieved by many connected with the irregular practice of medicine, is both curious and extraordinary. Some years ago the celebrated Doctor Brandreth commenced, in this city, the sale of pills, the secret of which had been discovered by, or confi- dedtohim, He advertised liberally, and sent boxes of his pills gratis to various editors. Tusey were found to be good; his name was brought before the public through the papers, and he bas now amassed a large fortune, and lives in a palace at Sing Sing, a short di tance from the State prison, The doctor diverts his leisure with the exciting game of polities, ™ . . 01S & strong old bunker, and will, B° Geuyt, display the has displayed for fevers: years back in dosing the public : ‘As euecessful in public favor, at least as the Bran- dreth pills, are Doctor Moffett’s Life Ditters.

Jas. Gonvon Bennett, Esq : ritten to the Editor of the Be rick Jerome. he presentation of the freedom of thie city, ing received @ reply, will you, whose ge information is s0 exte lease inform me! I am fully aware thet in London, and many other cities ia Europe, there are many rights conveyed by said prerentation ; but, as Frederic Jerome is already a citizen of the United States, 1am at a loss to know what further rights he will posse*s—having made the enquiry of several, who are equally ignorant on the subject. By replying, you will oblige MANY. Remarxs.—We understand the freedom of the city, as granting to a stranger all the privileges of a citizen, so far as the city 18 concerned. Under the Montgomery charter, the Common Council have a right to confer the privilege of voting for city officers, and holding a legal possession of property, though not a citizen of the United States, In the case referred to, it is said that Frederic Jerome, is not a naturalized citizen, and without such action onthe part of the Common Council would not, of course, be entitled to such nghts. When Mr. Van Buren was recalled, as Minister to the Court of St. James, upon his arrivalhe was tendered the freedom of the city, without a resi- dence. We should suppose in the case of Mr. Van Buren, it could be done, without violating the constitution of the State, but, in the case of Frederic Jerome, there 1s doubt whether the Common Council have the nght to step beyond the constitution of the United States, and the State of New York, togrant to any one the rights of a citizen. Jeromeis an Englishman, and, if not naturalized, cannot receive the honors proposed to be conferred upon him, except in violation of all the laws and estab lished customs of the land. Theatrical and Musical. Panx Tueatre.—This beautiful theatre was again crowded last evening to see the new grand bal- let of “Esmeralda,” which will now be with- drawn to give place to other novelties. Nothing equal to it has been presented in this city for ® long time. The truthful, expressive, and in. tellible manner in which the story of the piece is told in the pantomime gestures—the brilliant and gorgeous spectacles introduced in every scene—the number and excellence of the corps de ballet, and the artistical beauty of the dancing of the celebrated Monplaisir troupe, have combined to secure for this splendid bal- Jet a most brilliant and successful run. Now that it is about to be withdrawn, it won’t be doing injustice to omit mentioning the ble manner in which this beautiful ballet has been got up. The costumes, the scenery, the properties, in short, every act an scene, reflected great credit on the gentlemen to whom this department was confided. Notwithstanding all their attractions, however, it is a source of much sat- isfaction to us that the legitimate drama is again to resume her sway at the Park, when, we doubt not, the enterprising proprietor will secure even more crowded houses than have thronged this theatre since the pro- duction of “Esmeralda.” These are the days to try manager’s souls, and we are glad to see that Mr. Hamblin has not been found wanting. To-morrow evening, Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert will make their first ap- earance, in a popular comedy, since their return from Europe, and novelties of no ordinary kind ate in pre- paration. Bowrny Tueatne.—The present engagement of Mr Hamblin, at this house, has been thus far a most bril- liant one. Night after night the house has been crowd- ed in every part, and the various tragic parts in which he bas appeared have given the greatest satisfaction to the highly intelligent and respectable audiences who have witnessed them. We have never seen Mr. H. act with more bso and energy than he has during the present week, and his Hanlet, Virginius, Macbeth, and other parts, have all been performed in his best vein. Last evening, he appeared as Othello, and the nobi Moor found a fitting representativeinhim. Thescenic and stage department, which is under the management of Mr. Stephens, was admirable; and we have never before seen the senate scene, in the first act, so splen- aialy got up as se was lest ni ts The other feenery, , Was most appro) an did; so that, -what with fle fine acting of Mr. Hemblin, as ‘Othello, the excellent Desdemona, of Mrs. Jordan, (who, by the by, took the place of Miss Taylor, who was sick,) and the complete manner in which the remainder of the cha- racters were filled, the tragedy was played as admirab!; as we have ever seen it done in New York. The gran new ballet of the “ Abduction of Nina” concluded the evening’s performances. Signera Ciocce, Signor Neri, and Mr. Smith, were much applauded, and their beau- tifal dancing was truly w y of it. To-night, Mr. Hamblin will appear as Hamlet, and the new ballet will te again played, eo that the bill is one of the best of ¢ FeREOD, Broapway Tuvatne.—Mr. Collins appeared, last evening in two pieces—as O’Rafferty, in “ Born to toyGood Luck,” and as Morgan Rattler, in “ How to Pay the Rent.” The former is one of his best parts, and the delight of the audience was testified in loud and repeated plaudits. The exquisite humor he throws into his acting war fully appreciated by a very full house; and his songs were enthusiastically en- | cored. His Morgan Rattler was equally well received. | Vache, as Count Malf, in “Born to Good Luok,’ | was excellent; and Andrews, as Oid Miller, in “ How | to Pay the Rent,” sustained bis part very ably, with the exception that he was not always ready with the cue.

Wirson's Extentainments ox tnx Sones or Scor- Lanp.—It will be seen, by referring to our advertising columns, that Mr. Wilson, the celebrated Scottish vo- calist, is about to pay a visit to the United States, and intends giving a series of his entertainments here, on the songs of Scotland. The fame which this popular minstrel has achieved in Europe, is au earnest of the success which must attend him in this country. His easy and graceful deportment, his rich and well-toned yoice, and his apprehension of the sentiments each of bis compositions is inte: to convey, are too well known in the musical world to require reiteration. ‘This gentleman by, his discriminating taste, and in- deftigable industry, has succeeded ix presenting to the world,in s tangable and popular form, some most ex- quisitely touc! specimens of melodious, humorous, patriotic, and chivairous music, lyrical Soottish, poetry, which otherwise might have been lost to the ‘world. Mr. Wilson was the first entrepreneur in this Sotttish style of entertainment; and though ma\ imitators, stimulated by his success, sprung up from time to time, to rival him in public favor,by taking ad- Toei Cig in serena rer, bad the tact, the nt an re all,the musical feelings of this successful vocalist. In ad- dition to all these senitien sais has been very kind to him—his voice acl ing quality, a gentle- ness and suavity that seem perfectly attuned to the interpretation of his “ native wood notes wild.” We venture to say that Mr. Wilson will meet with a cordial reception, and obtain alarge share of public patronage in this country. Cunusty’s Minstrets.—Thia. company of ineompa- rable representatives of Ethi n character, arrived in.the city this morning, and have taken’ rooms at Rathbun’s hotel.

They will com- mence their concerts at Mechanics’ Hall, on Monday next, where crowds will be sure to greet them. Mn. Harrox will give another of his most delightful musical entertainments this evening at the Stuyvesant Institute. This gentleman has been thus far most eminently successful, and the elegant style in which he has got up his entertainments, entitles him to the support of all those among our citizens who appreciate true artistic excellence and high muiscal attainmensts. His comic singing is most admirable; be {s no mere broad and coarse comic singer, but his songs are ful! of genuine wit and well-directed satire on the follies of the times. Not one does he excel as a comic singer, but, as a musician of high attainments, he stands pre- eminent. To-night his programme will include all his most popular pieces, the beautifal recitative of de ‘O’Ruddier n the Cherry,’ ‘Dibdin’s Si ‘ The Little Fat Man,’ ‘Watkins Evening Party’ &c. wewave no doubt that he, have a fall and fashio: audience, Campneny’s Mixstress say truly in their bills that their success continucs “ unabated,” as night after night they are listened to by crowded houses ; and it would seem that the more the folks go, the more they want to go, as parties Eo sometimes several evenings in succession, so delighted are they with the sweet harmony of these inimitable singers. Their new songs are already Lig favorites, and are quite able no- yelties, as, to tell the truth, some of the old ones, though very pretty, were becoming rather stale, Campbell's Minstrels have long passed the half-way house on the high road to fortune, and have estab- lished for themeelves a name and reputation as singers which any band might envy. Messrs, Mranteni anp Levasseur will give another of their elegant philosophical entertainments this evening, at the New Room. Combining, as they do, 80 many attractions, such as singing, astronomical dia- gtams, disphanous tableaux, entertainments in natural megic, in which optics, hydraulics, magnetism, ele tricity, &c., are all made ay ble, and also clairvo: anoe, it is not sprpelsing that their exhibition is so w. patronized by the most intelligent of our citize: advise all who wieh for an evening’s rational and in- structive amusement, to visit the New Room this evening. Me.opron.—This well-regulated house is doing a first- rate business. White's Ethiopian Minstrels, with their songs, glees, lectures, dancing, ke. &c., are carry- ing everything before them. It is a most admirable place for family parties. ‘The Kilmiste- Family, and Howe's Circus, are in Yortiand Mrs. Flynn is in Boston. ~ Mairdoeh was performing in Louisville, Ky., on the 22d inst. J.

Alderman Frenklin, itis expected, will make the presentation, with an ad- dress. The Rev. Mr. Parker, on behalf of Jerome, will re- ceive the compliment, and reply to the address of pre- eentation.

Matice Pensoxirinp.—Some time since. it will be recollected, a young man, named Francis Bartlett, committed a forgery for a small amount upon his_bro- ther, a wealthy merchant in this city, for which offence he 3 induced to flee the city.

The intelligence of his death was communicated to this city on Mon- day last, and announced inveveral of the morning pebers ct Tuesday. On Wednesday morning num- her of handbille, bearing no signature, were posted in ‘Wall street, offering a reward of $500 for the apprehen- sion and delivery of bis body in this city. This cer. tainly was marked with a maliciousnoss of the basest character, in endeavoring to wound the fvelings of his family, who were already suffering the keencst anguish for the loss of one of their number, as well as the false step he had taken while laboring under a derangement cf his mental faculties. It is not strange that the in- dividual who woutd be guilty of such an act, did not put his name to the placard.

Yhere were large sales of treasury notes to-da: am advance on yesterday's rates of \ per cent. +he first board mere than one hundred thousand dol- lars worth were sold by one operator. Othor stocks remain about the same. The eight hundred thousand dollar loan of the Secretary of the Treasury, on trea- sury notes at per, is the principal topic of conversation in the street ; and it isthe opinion of the moat intel- ligent operators, that Mr. Walker can find no act of Congress xpon which he can by any possiblity place such 8 ‘construction as to make sueh # measure legal- The only act applicable to the question, is that au thorising the Secretary of the Treasury to purchase” at any time, stocks issued by the govermment at par’ out of any actual surplus in the treasury, not other. wise appropriated, or not likely to be otherwise re- quired, to meetany accruing expenses of the govern- ment. Now, itis well known that mo such surplus exists, and the Secretary, therefore, has no right to purchase government stocks or treasury no! any there stocks, it is mo part of his business; and if the President sanctions such acts it is impeachable nce, and Congress would be bound to take notice price ; and as for loaning monoy on the seourity of colleague of the War Department, are capable of any- thing, and will not hesitate a moment to carry out any measure they wish M it for their interest, or that of their friends, and the illegality of the set is no obstacle. The fact that Mr. Walker has determined to loan eight hundred thousand dollars in treasury notes at par, is sufficient to satisfy most of the specu- lators in Wall street that it will be made. One of the Parties interested in this loan has gone to Washington, and upon bis return the amount will probably be drawn from the independent treasury. A day or two will decide all donbts. Speoulators im government stocks, treasury notes, and other securities in Wall street, have, for sometime past, been growling and grumbling about the operation of the independent treasury act, and its restrictions: upon the money market. For sometime past the dis- bursements of the government have been limited, com- pared with its receipts, and the acoureulation of specie in the vaults of the sub-treasury has been large. Om the 1st of July last, the total amount to the credit of the government, in the different depositories, was but $1,638,112, of which but $159,037 was in the hands of the assistant treasurer in thiscity. Since that time, by the payments on account of the new loan, and the receipts from duties on imports, the deposits in thie city have increased to nearly three millions of dollars and in the country to between four and five millions of dollars, the whole of which con ists of gold and silver. This accumulation, particularly at this point, has pro- duced a great scarcity of money. It is not merely the withdrawal of three or four millions of dollars in spe- cle frem the banks or from circulation, that causes this derangement in the market ; but it is the effect of this withdrawal upon the movements of the banks, and cons sequently upon individual credit. It contracts the cur+ rency $hree or four timos the extent of the specie draim and produces distrust in commercial circles, und cau~ tion among the money stitutions of all our large cities. Such has, undoubtedly, been the effect of the operation of the Independent Treasury act during the past sixty days, and will continue until something is done to arrest the accumulation and reduce the deposits. It cannot be denied that the operation of this financial system, for sometime past, has been any- thing but that imtended by its projectors ; and the same ignorance has been exhibited by those intrusted with its management as attended former neial systems of the government, and which led to those explosions which heretofore proved so disastrous to every interest of the country. It was never intended by the framers of this financial measure that there should be no surplus on hand, that there should be no accumulation of specie im the hands of the assistant treasurers—and to prevent the possibility of any such thing occurring, « tariff, or what was called revenue tariff, was simultaneously adopted. Itwas intended that the reduced tari@ would enable the government to carry into operation more successfully and with less injury to the financial and commercial classes, the Independent Treasury act,and that when that system of finance was once established the new tariff would equalize the receipts and expen- ditures of the Treasury Department, so that it would not, by any possibility, produce those expansions and contractions in the money market, which had hither- to been so frequent and so ruinous. The tariff was, therefore, called a ‘revenue tariff,” and was supposed to be so graduated in ite provisions, as to give an in- come just sufficient to meet the ordinary expenditures of the government. It has now been in operation nearly two years, and the result has certainly been different from that anticipated by the public generally. For- tuitous circumstances have increased our foreign trade, and the importations have been larger thax usual; the revenue from customs was, therefore, the first year, exceedingly large, exceeding by several mil- lions of dollars the expenditures of the government for ordinary purposes. ‘ihus far, this year, the re- venue from custoins has’ been large, even with a moderate importation,-~showing that the average per cent duty, required by the prosent act is above @ revenue point. This is one cause of thé accu. mulation of a surplus; and as the Independent” Treasury act and the tariff ate- no more nor less than part of the same system, they should be s0 regu- lated as to work more uniformly together. If any alteration or modification is required, it is im the commercial system of the government rather than in its nancial fem; and there is no doubt from the experience of the past twenty months, that importent. changes might be made in the tariff, by which the pub- lic finances would be more equally regulated. The surplus revenue produced within the past two years, by a revenue tariff, cannot be much less than ten mil- Hons of dollars; and although the extraordinary ex- penditures of the government during that time made such an cxcess desirable, now that they have been re- diced nearly to any ordinary standard, any surplus is calculated to injure the operations of trade, and pro- duce contractions from time to time in the currence; by withdrawing from the ehanneis of commerce the precious metals, andlocking them upin the vaults of the public treasury, ‘This is the only government in the world which ac- cumulates a surplus, The expenditures of almost al? oibers exceed the receipts, and their debts are annual- ly increasing. It is inconsistent with the duties amd object of any and every government to interfere with the financial affairs of its subjects, by annually draining them of a portion of teir means and resources, Whatever is drawa from them to carry on the government, shnid be re- turned again at the carliest moment, and every pub- lic measure should be framed to ‘ine aecomptishmen* of that end. For this purpose, ‘ne financial and com— mercial ystems of this e¢antry should harmonize, and all should be made subsidiary to that policy. Since the adoption of the independant Treasury Act? several large loans have been made; and while the» Mexican war continued, the disbursements largely ex- ceeded the receipts. The enforcement of the specie provisions of that act had no injurious influence upon financial or commercial affairs, and the opponents of the system believed that they had magnified its sup- posed evils. It istrue that those entrusted with ite establishment had taken the responsibility, from time to time, of deviating from its true and legal construc- tion, and have been governed more by circumstances than by the law; but up to the closing of the last loan, no one connected with commerce experienced any in- convenience from the existence of such a system, and had it been properly managed since, we should have had no complaints relative to its injurious effect, and all would have progressed so smoothly and satisfactorily that we should hardlyjhave known that any change had been made in the financial system of the government. The government owes enough to enable the Seoretary of the Treasury to keop down the deposits, without resorting to illegal measures; and it is only by a proper administration of the business of that department, that the different measures of the government can be made applicable to the best interests of the country, The effect of the recent operation of the Independent Tres- sury act upon the money concerns of the country» particularly of this city, has revived all the opposition of its enemies. Some of the organs of this class of *peculators, opposed to a specie currency, have recent- ly been loud in their invectives against the system, and have attempted to show its fallacy by comparing it with the State bank deposite system. ‘The opera tion! of the Independent Treasury system in the event of an immense surplus revenue, is brought for- ward as an argument againet its feasibility, but it must be borne in mind, that such a surplus, or even any surplus, {8 utterly out of the question, if subsidiary systems are judiciously enforced, Suchan illustration is therefore defective. If the Independent Treasury: tends to a derangement of the currency and of com mercial affaira, by an accumulation of specie in ite vaults, the remedy will be foand ina farther reduction in the tariff, and not by a resort to unlawful and file- gal measures to reduce the amount on deposite $90000 Trens Noles, 0 10000 ae " nw de lo Reading RR SLN Ba N Havew 0) Harlem RIE (30 do do 4700 Ohin b's. 0) 5000 Lilinols (undable 0 do, hong Islan, RY Wi 1» Bk of © mmereo ‘iy 25 Canton Co BG HO Nor& Work?
