The Presidential Revolution.

A quartinian presidential revolution, or cleo.
ton. will take place in the United States next
November II will be one of the most impor.
,.nt events that could occur on this continent,
and no doubt will be watched with extreme
anxiety throughout the limits of the old world
To see great nation, comprising population Of
twenty millions, going simultaneously to the
ballot box and choosing their chief magistrate,
is one of the most sublime spectacles which
civilization can present.
Congress meets next Monday. The whole
session will be employed in preparing the public
mind, by debates and votes, for the election that
will follow in November. The number of voters
now entitled by law to take part in this great
revolution, will probably reach over three mil
lions The questions to be determined are dill
ferent from those that were ever brought before
the people heretofore. The conquest of Mexico,
and what is to be done with that country, will
engage Congress and the people up to the period
of the election.
In this position of affairs, it becomes matter
of great importance to the whole country, to
know, as fully and correctly as possible, the
result of former elections SO as to be enabled to
form some glmmer of opinion on that which
will follow next year. We have compiled the
following table from materials within our reach,
and give il for what it is worth =
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1847-12-04
sThe wings have majority. the Congressional neket
of li7.
The AeeREoArE Vol

This table is very imperfect With the exccp-
ton of the votes taken at the last Presidential
election, number of the States left in blank,
IN consequence of our inability to procure the
returns OF the votes at their State elections, in
any way within our reach. Yet the returns of
each year since the Presidential election in those
States, that are ascertained, present a singular
state of facts calculated to awaken the attention
of politicians and the public at large.
One of the first remarks that occurs, is the
deficiency in the popular vote at Ethe usual an
nual elections, which involve no presidential
candidate. On no occasion within our know
ledge, has any thing approaching the full vote OF
the people been taken throughout the country,
unless it is al a Presidential election, which oc-
ours every four years. The deficiency is amaz-
ing, and in some States amounts to one third
of the whole vote, thus showing that if the State
and General Governments are conducted with
ordinary discretion, vast portion of the people
will not AXE the trouble to vote at ALL Another
remark occurs. In the last Presidential election
by the circumstance of three candidates being
run, Mr.. Polk was elected by minority of tn
whole vote, although he had constitutions
majority over his principal antagonist In tha
year, 1874, Birney, the abolition candidate fo
the Presidency, had over sixty thousand votes il
the Northern or free States. This third part
has kept ito organization during the last thro
ycagsy but we doabs very much whether. 1t CO

ITEMS FROM CUBA.-We are in receipt Of Ma
tanzas papers to the 18th ult.
The health Of the inhabitants Of Santiago de
Cuba had been assailed by the measles, which
complaint was quite epidemic in that city, almost
every family having some cases of it.
At Puerto Principe, during the month of Oc-
tober, there were 10 marriages, lS4 baptisms,
and III interments, thus leaving an increase of
IL souls during the whole month.
At Villa Clara, the feasts or jubilees which
were held in honor of Pope Plus TX. were at
tended by vast crowds The religious services
during the whole period were thronged, inso-
much that the priests could scarcely administer
the sacrament to all those who applied.
The steamer Guadalquiver had delighted the
inhabitants of Matanzas on her first trip to that
city. She left Havana at 10 in the morning, and
arrived there at 5 p. M. She was visited by
hundreds Of people.

Mxrr,Ns IN Favor OF THE Porr, IN The usirrp

MyErlNo IN Favor OF THE PoPx, IN srHE UNlrrD
SrArEs.-The recent great demonstration at the
Tabernacle In this city,to express sympathy with
his holiness the Pope of Rome, is a most SPURIOUS
event WHIT n taken in connection with what has
been developed in many of our cities during the
last ten years. 1t is only short time since the
Christian, the pious, puritanical people of Boston,
collected together and proceeded to Catholic
seminary or church, set fire to the buildings,
drove the women and children from the estab-
lshment, and exulted over its burning fragments
and ruins. This created great sen sation at the
time, and to this day the Legislature of
Massachusetts,, although they have paid the
interest on the State debt, have not yet paid
the first cent for the damage ON that occa-
sion. little later in the order of time, we
may have seen similar scenes in the city of Phi
ladephia, and even riots committed, murder per-
petrated and confagration INDUCED mall out
of hatred to the Pope, his doctrines, his minis
tiers, and to put down the misc hievous purposes
of tine Catholic clergy. Even in this metropolis,
the exasperated feelings of CHI stan sects, urged
ON by indiscreet and meddleso me prelates, came
very near ending in riot, and blood, and conAa-
grafton, and in deeds that would have covered
our inhabitants with disgrace.
What a cnange in the courie of few years !!
We seem to condense in brief period Of ten or
twenty years. all the exec ss, all the good and
evil, all the bad feelings, all the virtues and the
vices of centuries. On one day we exhibit the
vindictive feelings of the Middle ages-on the
the next the moderation and magnanimity of the
present day; and perhaps Tomorrow we shall de-
velope feelings and principles that may regulate
all civilized society for the next three or four
hundred years. What puzzle American move
ments must be to the princes and people of Eu-
rope A handful of men, in a few. months, have
reduced great and mighty nation often millions
of people--the richest on the face of the earth.
One day we burn churches and stgmatize the
Catholics, and the next we all unite for the pur.
pose of eulogising His Holiness the Pope, and
place him in the van of European civilization.

FASHIONABLE MovEMRNTs--The movement OF
fashionable society in this city, now going on,
is exceedingly interesting, particularly in refer
encc to the Italian Opera This undertaking
has now reached the close of the second week,
in the attempt to establish permanent seat of
amusement for the higher classes of New York,
and of the upper regions of Broadway. Consi-
dering the tremendous opposition otlthe canaiAle,
including those who are said to be gentlemen of
the press, but many OF whom scarcely deserve
such moderate term, it is wonderful to see the
success which has attende these laudable efforts
of fashionable society.
In the old countries of Europe, rank and ia
shion are brought into existence through the po-
tency of monarchs, who bestow honors, titles,
crosses and ribbons, according to beauty and
merit, and who establish those circles which
are considered and admitted to be fashiona-
BILE, and of the haut ton. Here we have no
sovereign, or, rather, twenty millions of So
vereigns. Of course the establs hment of a
Aaut ton must proceed from a different quar-
ter, and on different principles and conse-
quently, in our present situation, the ballot box
and cash box combined, must determine the po-
sition and rank of all those who are enrolled as
subscribers to the grand opera. We 60 through
all the preliminary steps of building an opera
house, constituting managers, both behind
the scenes and before the public-of sweeping all
the provincial boards of Italy of some of their
leavings, of balloting for subscribers, of invit-
ing the gay, the witty and the well-dressed-
getting every thing prepared in the incest order,
according to the most approved principles; but
notwithstanding all these great preparations, the
the press and the canaile persist in carrying on
an opposition to the movement, and have the
unkindness to talk of grandfathers and grand
mothers who were grocers, tailorr, butchers and
sausage-makers, from whom we all spring; and
this too, without any provocation or cause. Oh
Oh Oh!
Now this is ungenerous, for more rlagnif-
cent opera house, and better dressed company
| (meaning the subscribers) seldom or never
| graced this city We are afraid, however, that
despite all these efforts, and all that money, and
all this praise, the mediocrity of the troupe, and
the jeers of the public at large, will make asco
in the end. For the sake of concli atlng the vul-
gar public, who must not be present on the sub.
soribers' evenings, and in order to raise the wind
from any quarter, the managers have most
wisely determined to open the theatre one extra
night, and to present them with the representa-
ton of cast off opera, by way of throwing a
bone to those who are hungry. Won't this have

THE POLITICIANS VERSUS THE GENERALs.-Th
great popularity which has been produced
throughout the country, by the deeds Of our
generals in the war with Mexico, is beginning
to create general feeling Of jealousy and dan
ger among the old politicians, who like to live
on the spoils and plumber, but who have no
stomach for meeting the enemy in the field
Scott, Taylor, Worth, Shields, and the other
distinguished heroes of the war, will be soon
forgotten, if the arts and tricks of the politicians
in public meetings and conventions, and other
similar quarters, are allowed TO succeed.

MUSICAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS. Music is making
great progress among the higher classes of this
city, particularly since the commencement Of the
opera Every lady who desires to shine in the
social circle'is anxious to take lessons of some
of the masters. We have great many teachers
in this city on the old style, but among the re-
cent arrivals from Italy there are some who have
been recommended in the highest manner by the
most competent Judges Of Europe. We particu-
larly refer to M. Bonzanini, from Milan, who
possesses great qualifications as teacher in the
purest Italian method, and has given the best
proof of his qualifications in the successful debu
made by two of his pupils at the opera. There
is no master in this city who can be at all com.
pared IN point of purity of taste to this gentle
man.
