The New York herald., 1844-11-11


whig papers here are coming out one after another,
letting out their secrets and telling their grlets TO
the world. indicating thereby how they have de-
ceived and disappointed themselves and their
friends, and which they never mean to do hereaf-
ter. One Of the most amusing papers in these days
Of wing lamentations, is the Albany Epsaing
Journal; and one of the most amusing characters
in his misfortunes is the amiable--the kind-the
benevolent-the gentlemanly-with the Longtime
in-hls.mouth, Thurlow Weed Here is his last la
mentalion over the abolitionlsts -
New YoRK CoNquEaED AND EssLAvEp-The Electors Of
the State of New York rendered their verdict in
favor OF Polk Texas, Foreign Free Trade and Slavery
The wing party after manly and noble struggle, has
interests OF the People and Of advsncng the welfare and
glory OF the Republic.
essedly unworthy OF as unfit for that high Office should
become Chief Magistrate OF the United States, excites
equal astonishment and modification. And that man
nominated expressly and svowedy to paralize American
Enterprise and Industry, and to extend the boundaries
and enlarge the political power of Slavery shoad obtain
majority OF the sufages OF the electors Of New York,
- as astounding as 1t is disgraceful
There are several causes which contributed or
less produce this nglorous result But passing over
for the ent incidental embarrassment we come at
once to the paramount manifest undeniable cause OF our
defeat The State OF New York has been given to the
Texas and Slavery candidate for President by the abol

We look with them to the extermnaon of this

humble powers to hasten this great work Of justice and
philanthropy. But we reprobate, they will, the
duct of men among them who have used the friends Of
emancipation to extend and strengthen the cause Of
slavery.
So now Thurlow admits to the fullest extent the
cause of this result in New York; so disastrous to
his party and his candidate lie at once endorses
all that we had been relteratng for months before
the election. relative to the injury which Mr.
Webster, Mr.. w. H. Seward, Mr.. Casslus M.
Clay, and all these marplots were inflicting upon
Mr. Clay, by their course on the Texas and slavery
questions. For telling the wings those wholesome
truths we were denouncedin those ridiculous Jour
nails as locofocos-when the fact was and is, that
we don't care button for the locofocos or the
whigs although we care every thing for the coun.
try. Yet now, after all the mischief is done, Thur
low Weed comes out and admits that we were
quite right his obstinacy and blind
ness-and threatens to 60 over TO the abolitioniss
because they have cheated the wings so well And
we have no doubt he will go. On the same princi-
pie of reasoning there is every reason to believe
tL
tors that have'been endeavorng to cajole and pour
'blarney" into Bishop Hughes and the Catholic
Priests sand the Irish people during the last four years
will now come forth and abuse them with as much
zeal and vehemence ever they pulled and praised
them. We have already seen Mr.. Webster coming
out and declaiming against all foreignersi in Faneui
Hall, with as much sobriety and reason as the most
violent and the smallest Of all the violent and small
orators at Military Hall in the Bowery
1t is a very amusing thing, and very humiatng
too, to see the whig leaders, from Daniel Webster
down TO Thurlow Weed, beginning already TO
blaze away against the foreigners" because they
happened TO exercise their political privilege OF vo-
ting just as they chose. As to poor Bishop Hughes
and his Irish, they had better look out for the next
tive or three years. The whig party attribute all
their defeat to them and in retaliation for that we
have no doubt that they will open their guns upon
them and persecute them far beyond ANYTHING that
has taken place yet
Bishop Hughes will now find out his fatal mistake
in rushing into the political arena, and delivering
political Grafton at Carroll Hall, whether about
the school money or anything else. During the
Eext two years he will be sufficiently paid for his
absurdtles and misrepresentation and folly in his
recent circulars against "Bennett and the Herald"
"TRAsHy"-NoT So!-One of the papers calls
the Polk and Clay ballads ''trashy," and asserts
that they are not poetry. We are of quite differ
ent opinion. These ballads-Polk, Clay, and "na-
tives," comprise the true, original elements of the
American school Of poetry; and although there
may be some queer expressons-some quaint allu-
slons in them, still they are as good as the original
elements OF the Hebrew, the Greek, the Roman,
the French, or The English poetic literature. Let
any critic who explores the rude materials which
remain Of the first poetic efforts of the ancient
world, compare them with these ballads, and
he will at once admit that they are all much
on a par In point of elevated sentiment
good sense-vulgarity-bea all other
characteristics. These ballads in truth fur
nish the materials on which same great poetic
genius, who may rise up hereafter, will erect a
mighty and immortal work. The rude rhymes
and uncouth verses sung in all the languages Of
Europe in the heroic era OF the Crusades, came
afterwards to be wrought up into Of the greatest
poems ever conceived by the mind Of man-the
Jerusalem Delivered" OF Dante.
These small newspaper critics and poetasters
have not intellect enough to understand the ma
ture, character and value OF the fragments of mind
that are floating around them.

Samuel Forty, the medical profession Of this
country has sustained avery considerable loss. He
was man of remarkable industry, sound judg-
ment, and scientific attanments. He was one of
the very few useful and educated medical writers
in this country. His work on the "Climate of the
United States" is an invaluable acquisition to me-
