party has been completely organized IN every ward,
and in Philadelphia Boston, Albany, and the chief
towns and villages in this State, associations have
been formed In all those places great sensation
has been Produced but in Washington the move
ment begins to excite still more marked evidences
of the apprehension which this singuary popular
movement has occasioned in the minds of unprin-
cipled politicians of both parties One of the most
remarkable indications Of this state of feeling at the
capitol was presented yesterday in the correspon-
dence of one of the daily papers of this city,
which comes from the White House or the Trea-
sury Department. Here is the passage in this cor
respondents leiter-it is sufficiently amusing:-
In New York is about the that is in Philadel
phia; for had not the Nave American party entered
the field OF contest last month the Tammany nominations
would have been defeated This party which is in fact
no party at ALL being much Of the magnitude
geometrica point having neither length, breadth nor
thickness has been pulled by Bennett sort of ephe-
neral consequence, and raised up sort Of head
and bloody bones to brighten children with
Most OF the speeches which he has published having
been delivered at their meetings in form two three
hours before the time of meeting arrived This the sum
and substance Of the Native American" party in New
York But then some will saw look at the vote which
its ticket received at the last election answer that
that was no criterion whatever to judge of its strength
because was nothing more than general militia
ter OF all the dissatisfied elements of the Democrat par.
y, who were determined at all hazards to oppose the
Tammany caucus ticket 1t was this which augmented
| q
party to get in country whose citizens derive their
origin from every nation in Europe and in whose social
and family circles more than third of the present popu-
lation is OF foreign birth Had not been for this
crow OF party which operated for the day upon the
nerves Of the mid and unsophsticated foreigners the
whg ticket would have triumphed in your city
| cessfully as it did in Philadelphia.
We don'tknow which most to admire in this pas
sage-the cool impudence with which the ridiculous
statement of the Express made, that the speeches
the American Republican meetings were all for
gerles, or the sesatised air with which the vera
cious correspondent converts into ''scare crow
this great party which at the last election nearly
carried this city. 1t is indeed most aughabe to see
these miserable politicians, of all parties congratl-
latlng themselves that all this is ga Joke of Ben
nett" humbug of Bennett" forgery of
Bennett''-that it was al set in motion by Ben
nett. They will find out long before year has
rolled round that this very serious joke Indeed;
and the country will have reason to bless the day
that such humbug started into existence.
| The idea that these speeches were forgeries was
itself forgery invented by that miserable concern
which has hardly strength enough to bring the par,
turiton even of such paltry forgery to a termina
ton. But as that has already received fitting refu-
tation. we need not repeat its exposure now. But
we perceive that the Rev. David Hale, of the
Journal of Commerce" is endeavoring to pro-
duce the same sort of an impression the &C Ex-
press" and the veraclous correspondent at the
White House, by throwing mputations on the re-
cent organization of the First Ward Now, in all
these organizations the American Republicans very
properly take all that come into their ranks. They
do not stop to inquire what party the recruits be-
longed. They only require them to yield sincere
allegiance to American principles. And all these
att tn INF Il
wings and locofocos in the American Republican
ranks efferts of enemies seeking to divide and
destroy. And "Young America" knows this, and
is on her guard.
During the past week variety of important
movements took place, which we had not time to
attend to- But in week or ten days we shall be
prepared to show what the party has been doing
and the strength which it has now attained. The
great mass at Vauxhall Gardens will afford good
opportunity to do that. On that occasion there will
be tremendous gathering of the new, original and
purifying elements. We shall soon then know of
the corrupt and selfish politicians shifting each
other, and their hearts failing within them.
New MOVEMENT IN MAGAZINE LITERATURE
The first number of the new I" Columbian Maya
zine" has just been published. The typography
and mechanical execution are exceedingly cred-
table to the publisher-Mr. Post-a man of great
enterprise and experience, and to whose industry
attention, and business TACT the Philadelphia fash
onable magazines are mainly indebted for the po-
pularity they possessed. The literary department
OF the magazine is certainly of much higher or
der than any of the other monthlies of similar
general character. The articles are varied inter-
esting, and well written. Altogether, from this
specimen, we are inclined to argue very favorably
for the future success of the undertaking.
Certainly New York ought to gave a fashionable
ladies' and genemen's magazine 1t is the Pa
rs London of the Union, and possesses facilities
for the publication of such work, which infinitely
supass those be reached in any other city in this
country. Here is here much greater quantity Of
available talent than in Philadelphia or Boston
And yet the magazine published in Philadelphia
by Graham attained, il is sad at one time circu-
laion of 600 But it has fallen off very consider
ably since, as we understand. Probably the great
food of cheap literature has injured this class of
| magazines. But if conducted with energy and Ia
lent the part of the editor as we are sure it will
beiwlth enterprise and tact by the publisher, the
Columbian Magazine" must and will flourish.
All the ladies will be anxious TO see it, and we
don't know better holiday gift for the dear crea-
lures than this elegant magazine.
CLEvENGER, THE ScULPToR.-We well knew this
great artist whose sun has so suddenly gone down
in the very morning of his days He was true
genius, and most amiabls and accomplished man.
His guileless, afiectonate, confdng gentle spirit
sunk beneath the pressure of his msfortunes. Pc
cuniary embarrassments produced dependency,
which finally terminated in fatal illness. The sad
story is not badly written in the following lines ad-
dressed to him four years ago:-
| To 8. ". CIeveDger.
| Time, care and sickness bend the frame
| Back TO the dust from " hence il came.
| The blooming cheek the sparkling eye
In mournful ruins must lie.
The pride of form, the charm of grace
Must fade away nor leave trace.
They shall not fade for art raise
counterpart which ne'er decays;
Time, care, and sickness strive in vain
This power Of genius to restrain
