Strange and Singular Dcvclopments-A New
Party In the Field.
In the midst of furious contest between the
two great parties into which the country is divided
headed by Polk on the side, and Clay on the
other, it is singular to remark that several new
parties are beginning to show themselves in various
parts of the country organized for various purposes
Such is the unbonnded freedom and tolerance Of
opinion in this country, that no one, however ex-
IRENE his views, and ultra his Creed can fail In
creating a sect-a party-e faction ready to follow
at his heels wherever he may wander. In 1910,
when the contest was raging between Harrison
and Van Buren,, the germ of the present abolition
party was fermed-a party which last year in the
tree States numbered fifty thousand votes, and has
now, il is supposed, reached one hundred thousand.
In the midst of the present contest we have seen
a new party rise up in some Of the chief cities and
villages, called sc native" growing out of specific
grounds and popular complaints, connected with
naturazed citizens and particular religious sect.
And now whilst the two great parties are keeping
the country in constant stale OF excitement by all
sorts of meetings-revelrles-pr ocessions-song
snging-blackg uardsm-riots-in order to forward
their respective purposes, find that during the
last few months, new, strange, and unprecedented
party has been gradually growing up in this city
and this State which may be traced to the recent
grand Fourier movements and Fourier lectures by
certain distinguished philosophers throughout the
country.
1t was about eight weeks ago, on lovely after.
noon, when the little boys and girls were playing
and amusing themselves beneath the shade Of the
stately old trees In st. Johns Park with the new
fountain gushing up fifty feet to heaven before
them, when broad shouldered sinewy man. with
long thick matted hair, heavy beard and fiery
eye, was observed erecting little stage near the
iron railing of the Park Shortly afterwards he
mounted the stage and having attracted a little
crowd of auditors around him, he addressed to
them lecture, speech, or whatever else ii might
be called, the evils Of the times, and particularly
the oppression which the working people of this
city and country had to bear from their arstocrac
masters. He spoke with great deal of ferceness,
casting his eyes wildly around upon his auditors,
and pointing out the various splendid mansions
which surround that beautiful Park, catching his
illustrations from the objects around him. "Look
al that spendIdpalace onthe left with the Venetian
blinds-llsten and you will hear the rich tones Of
the piano, as they stream through the open window
and you maysee the gaudy inmates looking out
and surveying the poor and needy passers-by with
eye of cold contempt and utter heartlessness
| have been workman, worn down by toll, for
twenty years and more. 1 helped to build that
lovely building, and yet have not cent in my
pocket, and hardly know where | am to repose my
head at night, whilst they have thousands and thou
sands, and fare sumptuously every day. Is this Just
Is it justice that the man whe builds these places
should be starving in the streets, whilst they who
never put one stone upon another are enjoying all
these comforts and luxuries?" "That's true !"
exclaimed one OF his auditors. Others turned up
their eyes, not knowing exactly what to make of it.
The children around the fountain paused in their
sport and wondered what the strange man who
talked so loudly meant, and listened to him for
moment, but not understanding the depths Of his
principles, went on and gambolled as before And
thus the speaker went on from beginning to end in
the same strain; dlvergng sometimes to one lustra-
tton sometimes TO another-abusng the propretors
OF the splendid houses in the neighborhood of the
Park, because they shut those beautiful grounds
from the public, and gave private keys to particular
individuals for their exclusive enjoyment
Such was the scene which took place on a beau
tlful afternoon, few weeks ago, in New York.
And such is specimen of number of individuals
who have been very busy perambuating the streets
OF New York, and talking at corners-in grog shops
in small work shop at the steamboat landings
-over at Hoboken-down Staten Island-every
where, where they could find q small AUDITORIUM
relation to the present unjust organization of socie-
~ as they call t-and the growing inequalities be-
tween men entitled to the same rights and privileges
with all those general denunciations which have
for the last two three years been circulating
widely by such men as philosophers Greeley and
Brisbane, through the columns Of the Tribune and
in some other journals. Well, what is all this
coming to 1t is coming now TO practical point
in the present election. A party has just emerged
in this city, small to be sure, but calculated slowly
10 increase because they receive countenance in
all their spmpathes and variety of their principles
from high quarters. This party is most certainly
destined to disturb the peace and good order of So
ciety, and to spread unhappiness and discomfort
through all the regions OF industry in the land
We will partcularize. During the last few
weeks scenes have taken place in Rensselaer, coun-
~ in relation to the farms of the Heidelberg re-
gon, which are paraded in all the journals OF Eu-
rope, as proof positive Of the incapacty of man for
selfgovernment, and the total failure of the repub-
can institutions of America. Those riots which
have taken place have sprung from the principles
Of the Founerites, and the latter express, as we
have all seen, sympathy with these distur-
bes Of the peace, and violators of the law. And
We find tina, some Of the principal leaders Of the
whig party are engaged in the same mistaken cru.
SADIE against the principles of order. We aude to
and Horace Greeley of the Men York Tribune,
both Of which editors and journals are now en-
deavorlng to show by similar train of reasoning,
that thelVan Rensselaer, family have no right what
ever IN the property which has been confirmed to
them bv the law Of the land and ~, 49,, o,,.l,
