Tremendous Storm in New York.

The New York Herald of Monday con.
tains long account Of tremendous s,urm
tina, visited that city on Saturday evening
and Sunday morning last Great damage
was Zone to the shipping, and one brig
was missing. Several new houses iusi
completed, were blown down. Ia
The new Presbyterian Church, corner
Of Twerty-ninth street and Mudson ave.
nue., which was nearly completed, was nl-
SO demolished.
The diarama, in Eighth street an Fourth
avenue, opposite the Aslor Place theatre,
was shattered TO pieces, and the pictures it
contained, either destroyed or greatly in
jured. This is serious loss TO the propyi-
etor.
In Washington square, in the Park, and
in great nuDber OF streets, trees were pros.
trsted before the breath of the storm. A
large one was overturned at the corner OF
Ninth street and Fourth Avenue, and an
other fine old willow tree, that stood in

The Observation-Disclosures.

The returns from the different townships
in this county, ,and from other counties from
which we have heard, show that the same
game was played off blythe whig leaders
i'll other parts, that was practiced here, on
the Convention question.

,iops, they rallied in opposition to Coa-
vention, while protesting 10 be its friends,

said as we'll as democrats, favored it, them.
selves made it party question, and that
too secretly, on the eve of the election, and
succeeded in driving the great mass Of
their party, either oy threats, lulsehood or
fraud into voting against it.
They professed 10 be in favor of the e.
lection of all officers by the people-they
professed to be opposed to the increase Of
the State debt-they professed to be in ia.
vor OF restoring power righttully belonging
to the people, back TO the peoples hunds,
yet we find that their pledges are all false,
and the whig party true to its federal prin>
cIpies, opposing the new Constitution, in
which these changes were 10 be made.
These are facts that we will continue
to keep before the people.-Statssn.an.

Women in Russia.

A gentleman who went out 10 Russia
with Maj. Whistler, on Railroad affairs,
and has recently returned, informs the
writer, that in very important branch Of
education and usefulness, the Russian wo-
men are somewhat in advance Of the A.
merican. They participate in the duties
Of the Medical profession, by managing the
department Of obsterc practice-a vocation
for which some pretend to think our women
are, and must continue 10 be, incompetent.
The gentleman during his ten years
residence there, principally in ST. Peters,
burg, had occasion 10 employ an uttendent
Tor his lady; and, with his American ideas,
OF whot was necessary to safety, he applied
to medical man of eminehce TO officiate.
The physician laughed al him, and remark
ed that the attendance would be entirely
superfuous, and he should feel somewhat
out of his sphere; but he would refer him to
a professional woman, for whose nbility
and skill he would be responsible.
Institutions are provided by the govern.
ment for the qualifications of these females.
Their education and practice are under
judcious regulations; and they are employ.
ed by oil, from the Empress to the wife of
the serf. The gentleman remarked that
having become enlightened in reference to
this matter during his residence abroad, he
felt deep interest in the subject, and was
very happy to find, on his return, thar
measures were in progress 10 supply edu-
Gated females practitioners among US. He
accordingly contributed something TO the
Society for promoting the object.-Cor. Of

Re-nOmiuation of Gen. Taylor.

Gen. Taylor makes 81 entirely party
President, in defiance of his no party
p'ejges, that The whig leaders are already
committing themselves to his denomination,
as the only wing that can be elected in
1852.
An Office holding correspondent Of the
Baltimore Patriot, writes from w ashin gton
as follows:
'.Gen Taylor is the man who vii run
best as the Whig candidate for the pres
dency in 1852, and he is the only whig
according to present appearances, who Cali
be elected. Every member OF the Ca5ine
should rally around him, and doubtless will
We have numerical force enough TO main
tain our ascendency, if we al. act together
and with proper energy; but we have nc
force to spare. The Loco:uco Philistines
are upon US, and we must not be caught

of any kind. Clay men, Webster men,
Mclean men, Corwin men, Ewing men,
Meredith meb, Seward men, Fillmore men,
and other whig men, must stand shoulder

or the whig party, three years hence, will
not be worth u straw. The truth may us

We have all got to work, and to work hat.
moniously, to hold ON TO our whig ascen.
oency."
The Buffalo Express gives the following
reasons why the wings should re.nomina,e
Gen. Taylor forre- election, which reveals
anything but q consciousness Of strength
felt in the whig ranks:
; 1T is not to be denied, that The impression
has obtained quite extensively in the coun-
try that the question Of the succession has
had controlling influence upon the action
of certain members of the Cabinet. We do
not doubt that this impression is without
any foundation in fact; but the effect is j',st
as bad as if it was known thing. We
discredit the story utterly, and Tor the
reason that we deem ii impossible that any
man in Gen. Taylor's political family can
be so weak, SO mistaken in his position,
as to suppose for q moment that he could
make decent show in u Presidential
camrass. There can be no palmer propo-
sition, than lLat there must be no contest
for the nomination, if we expect to carry
our candidate. Gen. Taylor is the only
man upon achom all can unite, supposimg
the present condition Of things to continue
for three gears. Assume Ior q moment
that The General is to be out OF the field,
what would be our situation? / here would
be half dozen other men, with about
equal competing pretensions. The strength
OF the nominee would be exhausted beIore
he was put on the course. His whole
power would be expended in beating his
own friends, and he aoould be dista,.ced
BY the adversary in the first heat. Our
safety is in standing BY the old hero; and
the people will put The stamp of ;helr dis
appreciation on every man who slraggIes off
after new leader"

PENNSYLVANIA Election.

THE KEYSTONE STATE REDEEMED!
The election in Pennsylvania came off
ON Tuesday last. and the returns seem to
indicate the certain glorious triumph of the
Democracy. The Pittsburgh Post, of Fri
day, says: @Itis our opinion, judging from
the returns already received, that JOHN A.
GAMBLE has been elected Canal Commits
sioner by about $4,000 majority !-PENN.
sYLvANFA IS REDEEMED.
So much has few short months reign
Of Taylorism done for whiggery in Penn
sylvania! But to what will the wings now
attribute their defeat? Last fall, after their
triumph by fraud and falsehood, they rung
the cry of "The Tariff! the Tariff!!" from
one end of the land to the other. And has
the Tariff now worked their defeat? Is that
question with them like elder bark in the
hands of the Arkansas doctor, which, scrap
ed one way, operates as an emetic, and re-
versed as catbartic! And have they scrap
ed it the wrong way this time? The wings
in the late canvass took decided ground a.
gainst the Tariff of 1916, and in favor Of
protection, and that formed the burthen of
their song; upon that question the Democ-
racy joined issue with them, and now we
have the result-the glorious triumph of the
Democracy, in the election of their candid
ate for Canal Commissioner and a majority
Of both branches Of the Legislature!

entrusted to committee elected for that
purpose; and when passed in committee, it
may be submitted to the decision of the
people in mass convention assembled. Or,
legislative committee Of county might
frame laws, subject to the ratification of
the people in their several township meet
ings. go
If. the people might be permitted thus to
manage their own affairs, as free men ought,
it would not take seven years in Ohio to en-
act so humane, so benevolent, and just a
law, as the Homestead Exemption; nor 80
years to obtain the privilege to alter rick
ETY. constitution. That privilege it is beiev-
ed they will now obtain, after laboring for
it thirty years. And if we should obtain
so great a boon-which may perhaps be
known before this article gets in type
may that privilege be used to promote great
reforms to benefit mans race. The people o!
the Northern States are certainly sufficiently
intelligent & moral now to use the powers Of
self-government with entire discretion, either
by counties, towns, or townships, whatev-
er they might have been sixty years ago,
when fresh from under the domination Of
the British monarchy. And if the people Of
the Southern States too, might thus enjoy
the primitive right Of self government, how
soon should we ss- the. counties, one by
one, abolishing slavery in the heart of old
slavedom; and thus forcing the universal
spread of freedom throughout this glorious
Union of Republics, until that foul stain up
on freedoms banner shall be obiterated
and all traces Of that inhuman traffic shall
be expunged from the statute bovks of all
the States ef this great Union. While there
is a cheering prospect Of such glorious re-
suit, who but would be ashamed to whis-
per disunion? Let Ohio in the new consti-
tuition, which we trust she is about to form,
take the lead in the great work Of bringing
legislation and civil government home to the
people in their primitive capacity, that all
the people may in truth become legislators
and Judges. And if the example is once
set by US, who can doubt it will be soon
communicated to all the States, as other
grand reforms have been, as adjustment of
imprisonment for debt was communicated
from State to State, beginning with Ken
lucky; and as the exemption of the family
Homestead is destined to be communicated
to every State in the Union.
Mr.. Editor, this subject is deemed of vast
Importance, and hope 10 be permitted to

Already many of the permanent leaders

TO turning oat of "honest and capable:

The Dispatch frem Mr.. Rush-Napole.
oniSm-English Entertainments
E. l.. BulWer. &c,
WASHINGTON, Oct Sd.

WAsH1NGroN, Oct Sd.
We learn, through the New York papers
that Mr.. Rush informed this government
in dispatch, dated May Sd, that France
entertained hostile feelings and purposes
towards this country. 1t is true that such
dispatch was received, and there are
many circumstances which strengthen its
claim to entire credit.
The ambition of N Napoleon, and q desire
for that military fame upon which his lami-
ly was founded, will lead him into wars
He is not prepared to make war upon Eng.
land and will not give further aid to the
Pope, unless he will obey orders OF
course he will not quarrel with his des-
potic allies. 1t follows that, if he wants n
war, he will make it upon the United
States, as Mr. Rush states.
1t is now very well understood that Mr.
Clayton did, notyery long ago, address c
strong remonslrance to the British govern:
ment against its encroachments on the
southern portion of this continent, and that
serious correspondence is to take place
on The subject upon the arrival OF Sir Ed
ward Ly ton Bulwer.
1t has been supposed here that this gen.
tlemen would not ccme to The Untee
States as his health is very bad, but accord
ing to London paper, he will come 10
this country in fulfilment of bis mission as
soon as te returns from the German Spas
Mr.. Champion will then leave, inasmuch
as he is not on good terms with MIR. BuI.
wer.
The Nicaragua war OF diplomacy is
then to commence, and England and A.
merca will be enlightened with long stories
about the history Of the Mosquito country
its extent and boundaries-the preten-
sions Of the State OF Nicaragua--the inter.
course Of Great Britain with the royal
family of the Mosquilo country-and her
treaties with the same-whereby for red
coat and a string Of glass beads, and an
annual entertain nenl for the royal family
