The whig party, hitherto our only formi- dable opponent, is dissolved. A new party, with new rinciples avd new aims has taken its place. Divisions 5 our ranks in some of the States, and diversions from them in others, have impaired our strength—our defeat will be the inauguration of principles at variance slike with the constitution and the policy under which the nation baa hitherto prospered, In this condition, and with these prospects, it is the dictate of pa- tiiotiem to consider caretully and emp!

No essential modification of provisions eclarging the power of the general gov ‘ment can ever be adopted; nor, if it could be, is it easy toconceive that, under avy other arrargement or dis- tribution of powers, the growth and prosgerity of the countzy would be promoted, Our first duty, then, as citizens and patriots, is to rally under the banner of the constitution, and invite the co-operation of all why appreciate the benefits thet instrument was designed to perpetuate, For this pur- pore we need a fit representative of our principles, under whose leadership impending dangers may be shunned aud ee.enity restored. Amorg the prominent statesmen of the country, these are doubtless many poswersicg the qualities requisite for succeasful statermanship, whore fidelity to the consti- tution is well known.

It may result in the election of an oppo- nent, end the consequent evils of a sectional or icreso- lute administration. Let our preferences, then, be ex- peony with cubmission to the will ot the greater num- r, without factious pertina :ity or the disparagement of any whose pretensions are thought worthy of serious contideration by ary section of the party.

There is nothing ia our experience of the which will justify departure, in the present Jesctare, from the rules of common prudence.

To exvatiate upon the politica! eeainies of a citizen so well known, or upon his qualifications for the offive of President, is quite upnecesrary. We may be indulged, however, ina brief notice of his private and-public career. It will cerve the P , if no other, of correcting the misvepresenta- tions of our opponents. George MiMin Da)las was born in the city of Philadel- phia onthe 10th of July, 1792, during the adwinistra- tion of Thomas Mifllin, iret Governor of Penasyivanin under the (State) constitution of 1790. His father, Alex- ander James Dallas, afterwards Yceretaty +f the Trea- sury of the United States, was at that time the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvanfa—an eppointnen which sufficiently at‘ests the value cf hix political Zorvioes dusing the trying tmes which {umedistely pre Sar the adoption of ‘the national and State constitu. ions. ‘The early education of Mr. Dallay was conducted for the mest og under the eye cf his ‘ather, in the city of Philadelphia and ite neighborhood, with whom he re- sided daring bis minority. No part of the political his- tery of the country is moro replete with stirring events than the administration of Thomas Jefferson and James Madircn. The great principles of free government, as embodied in the federal acd State constitations, were at that time topics of absorbing interest. The leading poli- tickans cf that pesiod were men of uncommon pswer and large cxperience, conscicus of their right to be heard on all gue jovs touching the liberties of the otry, aad resolute in maintaining it. connection of father of Mr. Dallas with the founders of the democratic party gained for the son sa easy access, though yet youthful, to the circle of their influence, whence be gaiced impressions which soon ripesed into the principles which have ever since con trolled Ha public conduct, In 112, soon after the @€ciaration of war by the Con- gress of the Unitod States ngvinst Great Britein, Mr. Dal- las jolned @ company cf volunteers with a view to mili- tary duty, from which he was recalled for another pa- triotic employment. Albert Gallatin was about to pro- oced to Russia, upon the mis:ion which terminated in the treaty of Ghent, und having selected Mr. Dallas as his private Secretary, his military he ary were dis. solved, and a few days atterwar left the United States. From St. Peteisbarg he was despatched by Me. Gallatin and J. Q. Adams, the Minister of the United Btates at that Court, to London, ons business connected ith the mission, which accomplished, be repsired to Gheat. During '» residence of several montas, at the pleoe Iact mertioned, Mr. Dallas was in dally and inti- mate intercourse with the distinguished statesmen by whom the negotiations were concucted; an opportunity of which he made the best advantage. On hit return to the United States, he wa —— Remitter of the ‘Treasury, an office which eld about a year and a ball, when be revigned it, and returned to Philadetphia. His first appearance in the arena of party politics was on the 4th of July, 1815, within a twelvemonth after his returo from Ghent. On this occasicn, by invitation of the democratic pariy of Philadelphia, he delivered an oraticn, in which he reviewed the grounds of contro. verey between the United States and Great Britain. In this effort, it was easy to perceive the effects of his political training. Regarding this occasion aa the com- mencement of his career as a politician, his progress hithe:to has been correctly described as an exemplifi- cation or illustration of the great principles of govern: ment, settled upon as oa, a8 1801, and thenceforward adopted as the political faltb of the democratic party. rour yeare afterwarcs, (in 1819,) when the principle of the “Missouri compromise was first p-oposed and began to be earnestly discussed throughont the country, . Dallas formed and expressed a deciied opinion against the constitutionality of that expecient; to which Fo get ve ever sivec steadily adhered. As late a6 7, while Vice-President of the United States, in a speech of consiferable length pubitely delivered at Pitte ‘burg, he reiterated and emphaticaliy enforced the smo pinion, declaring his firm conviction that Congress lad no righifu) power to intermedcio in that matter.

The District Attorney summed up on the partof the government. The Judge then charged the jury on the law governing cases ot chreumstantial evidence, and left them to be the judges of the facts. He said that although some angry words were used by the captain to the prisoner, and the captain was subsequently found dead, the:e was not sufficient reason for arcit at the conclusion that the murder was committed by the prisoner. ‘The jury retired for about twenty minutes, when they returned into court with a verdict of not guilty.

Yesterdsy an inquest was held by Coroner Hilton upon the body of the boy Charles C. Jt, Hendy, who died at the residence of Mise Yarkhurst, corner of Bedford and Carmine streets, under somewhat wuspicious circum. stanecs. The deceased, it appeared, was an orphan boy, and lived with Mies P. as an adopted child, and often received ill-treatment at the hands of his mistress, On Wednesday night he died rather suddenly, which gave rise to some suspicions in the minds of the neighoors and those livieg in the house, who, knowing that Miss Parkhurst had severely beaten the deceased about ten or twelve Cays previously, communicated their suspicions to the authorities, and it wis resolved by the Coroner to investigate the matter, the result of which was the com- mitment of Misa Parkhurst to prison on a charge of being accersory to the death of the deceased child, ‘The following is a report of the inquest, as taken before Coroner Hilton:— Margaret Yero, being sworn, saya—I reside in the houce with Miss Parkhurst; she cecuples the buck room on the steond story, and I occupy the fromt room on the samo floor; I knew Ceccased, who appeared to be in deli. Miss P. has oceopied her room about two prought deceased with her when she moved then he was in good health; I never was aware that ke was rick; I have never reen him beaten, but have ropeatedly heard his cries; about three weeks ra I heard iim ery from being beaten; it was in the night timo. and his cries awoke we; I heard the voice of Miss P.; she a sed slept wih ber in the back room: I id hear some one beating him, and it sounded ay if done with the open havd; it appeased to me that the cbild was beaten very severely at this time; about a month ago, while 1 was below stirs, { henrd Miss P. beating deceased; this was on Friday evening, aud on the following Suxday she told me she had beaten him at that time for three hours; she said she beat bim with « piece of whalebone; { dom’t think that she beat him,-on the cecasion spoken of, as long as the time she men tioned; it might have been two hours instead of three hours; she would beat him awhile and then stop, and after asbort interval would commence again; the told me that the reason of her beatirg him was that he waa so ‘stiff necked,” that is to say, would not arcwcr qnestions which she put to him; atter this Weating, 1 voticed doseaced had marks upon his arm; I saw lim fn the yard some days after thir, whem he ap- peared as well as usual; about two weeks » she beat him ter about balf an hour; 1 was sick in bed at he time, {n @ room imunedlately unter that of Miss T's, and it seemed to me as if be was beaten with a strap: she beat Lim so severely that I thought she would iat him; this was about 4 o'clock in the atternoon, and about 8 o'clock that evening two st @ ladies came into the house az enquired for Miss P.; they came into my 100m and said that some one next door bad told them of the mapper in which the child had been beaten; that they hud examined his bedy and found it covered with maiks; Miss ?, was out at the t'me, bat the child was at heme; the ladies id not sey who they were or where they lived; 1 have not Leara deceased beaten since then; nor bare Totten seen him sfoce; he was in his room most of the time; I caw him in the yard on Thursday last, wheu be appeared to be well; I bave had no quarre) with Miss ¥.; on Jast Monday night I heard deceased ey an hour fr a drink; the first’ I keew of his Ceath was on last Wednesday evening: ho was then laid out; I aid not know of his beang cick; one of the ladies who called to see me, and of whom Ihave spoken, called in my room on Weduesday afternoon, and asked me if the chili had been beaten since the Jast called; I told her that | bad not heart him beaten; she said she bad been in tosee him, and that he would not recover; ehe did not s#y what was the matter with him; this was the first I kuew of his being sick. Otber witnesecs, roostly*per‘ons rer idiog in tae kame hioute or neighborhood, were examited, and their tes:i- mony wes corroborative of the shove. Dr. Machett testified thet he attended deceased for clarrhava, but did not wages the body, ard consequently saw no marks upon ft, Dr. ihemas Finnell testified that he had maie a post mettem exemingtion of the body, and found the body, aims ard lepa covered with bruises; there was a eut on the top cf the he.d, half an irch in Jength, extendivg to the bene; the lar and small intestines showed signs of recent inflammation; the cuticle on the back was re- moved 10r the space of ten inches in and two in breadth; the brain was intensely congested, and this, in his cpinion, was the cause of death; the inflam- mation of the bovels had nothirg to do with the Ceath, erly so fur ar it weakened the deceased: the injury on the back seemed to have been there about two weeks, but bad nothing to do with ceath further than the wes kness it might have produced; the s*me is the case with seference to the braises; ver, slight causes would produce the bruises om deceased; the injuries on the back did uct extend beneath the aku he was a frail, feeble child; whatever produced the injury on the Lead produced the congestion of the brain; the injuries on the body were of euch a chatacter that Tam. satisfied ke wax severcly beaten; these would tend to prestrate him, but could not of themselves nce death; T think the wound on the bead was sufficient to cause death, independent of the cig on the body; falling ozainst the edge or corner cf # trunk would produce» wound on the head similar to this. Jone Vreeland, a servant in the employ of Miss Park- huret, testifie’—That on Moncay last the deceased stumbled and fell against @ trunk in the room, and by this meaps received the cut in question; I never heard him cowplain of it; Mies Parkhurst and myself were in the recm when he fell. ‘The case wos then given to the jury, who rendered the follewing verdict :— “Teath by congestion of the brain, superindused by ill treatinent at the hands of Catharine Parkhurst.”’ Teceased was a native of Canada, and four years nine menthe cld, Miss Varkhurst was committed to prison to await oxa- mivation. he City Hotel Affray, 70 TUE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. Tyihis dass Hepat a letter appears signed. « NoMr, Virst Lieutenant of bighth district polic in reserence to the City Hotel affray, wherein there are cer- tain statements which I fcel myself called upon to place Letore the public in a somewhat different point of view. Mr. Kehler states that “the barheeper, in the absence of Mr. Barpel, the preprictor, called the waiters and or- ered them to clear the house, which was done. The parties, feeling aggrieved at being handled so roughly, returned with three others, and went about beating the waiters. During the whole of this time no wor sent to the tation house. Ilad there been, the parties cou'd hove been pursued and arrested, as'they are all known,” &., Ke. Now, the firet part of this statement is correct, inas- much as T (the barkeeper in question) did call the waiters to turn out certain parties, who at first at- tempted, by abusive Jangusge, to’ provoke a fight with per-ons who were at the time in peaceable enjoy- went of the hotel; and not succeeding :n this object, and highly resenting my efforts to promote peace, pre- ceeded to use lang ewhich I, being in charge of Mr. Harpel's house, should have acted most reprehensibly in permitting. Now, sir, the simple request that persons— who seemed Lent upon getting up a row—would leave the house not being attended to, the act of forcible ejectment ‘Decome necessary. Such an act is not a mild one, Igrant; but necessary a# it was, the parties considered them- selves, r., Kohler informs us, ‘4 treated;’’ and thereupon these il used gentlemen returned with three avxilinzies, proceeded to break open the door, and without further provocation evidenced their sense of in- Jury by throwing about decanters, glasses and everything they could lay their hands on—nearly killing one ot the waiters, and severely irjusing several other persons, myself included. result of this their second brutal atta:k is already known; but what does not appeat to Le 0 well known is the fac: that I sent Mr. Brady out Mercer, Gr and several other str . out being able to find ‘the required assistance. ‘It cer- tainly might have been the most stiaignttorward plan for Mr. Biady to have gone at once to the police station, but in a case of such sudden emergency it does not seem nising that Mr. Brady’s eet ns mind was not to the most availal of conduct, nor was it julie unreasonable to ex that w taking place in the most crow¢ed part of Broadway, attracting not less than three hundrea persons, and ing above halfan hour, chance have also attracted the attention ot a strey polleeman, or that «uch an assistant might haye been found in the circuit of several streets. ‘Cny Horst, Dec. 21,1836.
