The New York herald., 1844-10-21

| .Natiyes' in the present election will be held to-
| day in the Park, preceded by procession from
every ward of the city, attended by bands OF music,
and every other engine Of terrible popular excite
ment, not forgetting that the Bible will be carried
| also IN the procession, the great emblem OF the
new movement. From the position of the Presi-
Dental partles this meeting acquires immense i'm
portance ia the public mind. A great deal may
be said to depend on its complexion and character,
the avowals ofits speakers and the measures il pro.
poses. We understand that besides the great stand
IN the Park, number of smaller stands will be
distributed all under the trees, and that the vari.
Gus orators will probably take ground in favor o.
all the reforms congressional and legislative, which
we wan-such repeal Of the naturalization
| aws-reduction OF the postage rates-repeal of the
militia laws-restriction and regulation of the gas
monopoles-repeal OF the school law and introduc-
ton of the Bible into the schools, with many other
reforms. We trust, however, that they have noml-
mated men who. will prove more trustworthy than
those they sent into the corporation turned out TO
be, in relation police reform and other important
matters connected with the municipal government
OF this city.
In addition to these topics of discussion, the Irish
l repealers will be cut right and eft-Blshop Hughes
will BE- utterly demolished-and not particle left
of The Pope of Rome long before night. Besides
| all this, We have every reason TO believe that there
will be general discussion OF the relative merits
| OF Clay and Polk, for as the "Natives" have not
nominated any candidate for the Presidency, they
| are left Tree to choose between these two candl-
dates. Some Of them may, indeed, go for brney.
| Altogether there will be very curious meeting,
and we shall give full account of it tomorrow.

THE YOUNG WHIas ON WEpNEsDAY.-We under
stand that mighty preparations are making Tor this
demonstraton--a demonstration which is TO show
Mr. Clay and his friends, if he be elected, that the
old whig clubs the most rotten, useless and
| corrupt associations in the world, and have pro-
duced all the difficulty between the wings and abo
litionists in the tree States and almost ruined the
prospects of Mr.. Clay. We.expect that during the
| spe eches at this celebration Wednesday, a full
account will be given OF the bad policy which has
been pursued by many Of the whig leaders and
| orators Cassus M. Clay, it is said, iatends to
make speech, and we hope he will distinctly
state, who so badly advised him to make his re.
| cent peregrnations, in the course OF which he did
80 much mlschlefto the cause OF his great kinsuan.
| There is, indeed great deal OF curiosity felt, to
| know what Cassus will say relative to his recent
| tour through New England and New York.
! MILLERrsM-M M-FANATIcIsM-INFIpE
LlTy 1T Is really humiliating to witness the exces-
ses into which mutitudes at present driven In
this ciry and throughout the country by the rawlings
| of that crazy old man, Miller. They surpass IN
| extravaganza and folly even the Mormons out west
| To add to the religious confusion and excitement,
/ we have the quarres in the churches--lhe contro-
versies schlsns and trials of the Pesbyterans the
| Episcopalians and the Meihodiss. The Bapiists
and Catholics appear to be the only sects that have
| escaped the coDtagion of the times.
/ The origin OF all this fanaticism may be traced
| to the famous "revivas'' of religion some years
ago, created and tosered by hypocrites and selfish
| dvnes-by the Kinks and Cheevers, and others OF
| that stamp. True religion must suffer sadly by
| these outburss of fanatcism The deluded follow
! ers of Miller finding out their mistake on the 23d,
will fall into infdeity. dsbeeving the Bible, the
| prophecies, christianity and every thing
| MUSICAL history of the movements of the
Italian Opera during the last eighteen months, in
this city, would be exceedingly amusing, and might
lead to valuable improvements the future, and
we really hope that Slgaor Palmo may under
take the work of giving this history to the world
The Signor by great industry and perseverance
accumulated fortune of $50, 900, it is said. He
was most admirable Caterer for the public amuse-
ment and in the Cafe des Miles COLONIES picked
up all sorts of Swiss and German minstrels, who
regaled his company with the choicest airs on the
| most acceptable terms-that is, gratis. Some
friends then advised him to establish the Italian
| Opera and make himself famous. He did SO, and
in about as many months as it took years to make
| his fortune he lost it. Now if the Signor, who is
| an exceedingly amiabIe, wellintenoned man,
would only give us his memoirs ofthe Italian Opera,
it would be very entertaining, and would doubtless
throw much useful light on the business OF estab-
fishing and managing Italian Opera.
AMERICAN GRApEs.-We have a specimen OF
some Catawba grapes, of an excellent quality, from
A. G.. Crasto, No. Barclay street, who Is
ready at all times to furnish purchasers with the
article fresh and good. These grapes are regular
ly procured several times a week from the vine
yards Of Dr. Underhill, Croton Point, who was the
first to pursue the cultivation of this fruit in this
country, and to bring it to The great perfection in
which it IS now found Dr. Underhlll occupies
farm of about twenty acres, out OF which he clears
about four thousand dollars year, fact which
has induced many others to follow his example in
| the cultivation OF the grape. At one time this
| fruit was rarely used at table, there being none
| in the market but Spanish grapes, imported at
high price, and when DR.. Underhill introduced
these of home growth, he could hardly get people
to take them for nothing. Persons were induced,
however, to make trial. and owing to the very
low price, the fruit gradually became known and
appreciated, and 20 much in demand, that DR.. Un-
derhill was enabled to procure a. remnneratDg
| price, and is enjoying the reward of his enter
| prize. Those who wish to have the article in its
best condition, have but TO call ON Crasto.
