THURSDAY EVENING. AUGUST 16.

It one might believe the whig papers, every public man and every press in the de mocratic party is mercenary and venal, ac tuated by the lust of lucre or of office. This is a grave charge, and naturally awakens indignation. But while we repel this false accusation, we should not overlook the fact, that some of the whig presses have, in one respect at least, behaved with great equity. II they have charged their adversaries with merce nary motives, they have brought the same charge against their own party. They have treated us no worse than they treat each ether.

While they strive to make the world believe that we are rogues, they acknow ledge themselves to be so. We are about to transfer to our columns two ol these precious confessions' It is well known that there are in this city two whig parties one favorable to the claims of Mr. Webster, and the other to those ot Mr, Clay. To the lormer belongs the New York American, and to the latter the Evening Star. First, hear what the American says of the Star and its party.

It is protesting against appeals made for a party purpose to the prejudices and controversies of past years. From the V. V. Anurican of Monday. Yet it is not to be denied that there is a class of persons, and that not by any means inconsiderable or uninfluential, that is accessible to eucb appeals.

This class is made up, for the most part, of those soldiers ot fortune.wbo, fighting always tor pay first, are. of course, liable to be found at different limes on different aides who, knowing nothing and caring nothing about principles, are yet specially soucuout about what Major Dalgetty calls the provant," or, in the mora inteliisible expression of Governor Mar cy, the and are willing at all time to up any name, adopt any head, and swear by nv shibboleth that will ensure to them the booty. The Star understands the value, and sympathises with the motives, ol these mercenaries, anu navinj diaaurjointments of its own to avene. it deals large. Iv in the tort of appeal to names and prejudices of rr i ii which we nave oeen anu cuh iuui i doctrines.

To such a degradation of the high prin cinles and hieh aima of the Vhi party, we cannot even by silence, assent, and hence the remarks we herewith submit." Frankly said, and justly but the Star meets the charge with as positive a declaration that the whigs of the party led by the American have no other object in view but the rewards of office. Here is the picture given by the Star of that party. From the Star of last evening. "This is small game, it is true, but these gentle, men always play a smalt game ihey brag high but seldom win and when the American talks in a style so lordly and high minded ot their disinterestedness of their true love of principle and of country of their absence trom all motives ot selfishness of their attachment to principles and not to men, and accuse others ol selfishness, we, who have served an apprenticeship ot some twenty vears with them, could tell a very different Btory, founded on facta. They are a fine, clever, pleasant, jovial, gentlemanly set ol fellows, and you caw always get on smoothly and comlortably with them when you allow ihem to have everv thins their own way.

They are the tight ones to make Governors and Presidents, ettins at a table with their iced champaigne and although they cannot elect their men, or do the fighting, or organize, or deviso, or execute, or canvass, or labour or arouse, animate and excite, yet when the battle is over, and the victory won by the people, there is no class so prompt in sounding Ihe trumpet aim claiming me rewarc, anu yui nicy ium of disinterested services, and purity of motives, and an utter abhorrence ot the "spoils" The whigs last evening held a meeting aMason ic Hall, at which they were addressed by Mr. Pren tiss, a member of Congress from Mississippi. The call, in compliance with which the assembly was convened, was addressed only to whigs. According ly sueb whigs as Gideon Lee.Sirauel Swartwout and others lately known by the name of conservatives but now duly incorporated into the whig ranks, at tended. These two were made vice Presidents of the meeting.

One or two of the morning papers give a report of Mr. Premise's speech, which, if it be anything like a fairtranecript of what he said, is not much to his ere. dit as a ublic speaker. It is a tissue ot light and in coherent rattle about a battle to be fought for the credit system, in which the fnendd of the adminis tration are the assuilants, and the opposition enga ged in the defence, interspersed with much praise of the same credit system by which we suppose he means the fatal facilities of speculation which ex isted in 1336, and two or three years previous. It is not very strange that Mr.

Prentiss should praise what, according to common report, he has made use of so extensively. He look occasion, also, to pro nounce an eulogy on his brother speculator, N. Tallmadge. The Express states that the letter from Wisconsin, the blunders of which we exposed yesterday, was not first published in that paper, but was cut from the St. Louis Bulletin.

It is some satisfaction to know that the hoax waa not contrived in New York. Frocrbss of Specie Patments. The Nashvill Banks will resume cash payments on the first of January next, and it is believed that the Banks of Tennessee generally will agree on the same day. The Kentucky Banks were to have resumed on Monday last, according to the Louisville Journal. The Banks of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois probably resumed on the same day.

Arrival of Troops. The third company of the Tburth regiment of artillery, under command ofMa jor Gardamer, arrived last evening from Charleston, in the brig Cordelia. Licuts. Miller, Phelps, Gregory, Pembertsn, and Dr. Holmes are also passengers in the C.

The Exhibition or Giraffes. It remarked by every ono who sees these beautiful animals, that they are entirely new in their appearance, and more attractive than any collection we have had for veara even the Geological Institute failed to have them in their extensive menagerie.

The objection that has prevented many from visiting these Giraffes is now removed, as the price is reduced Irom fifty cents to twenty five cents, which will enable all classes to see them. The Question of a High Bridge over the Harlem River. An article from the Evening Star, in favor of bringing the water of the Croton over the Harlem Kiver by means of a high bridge of massive and cost construction, found its way into our pa per of yesterday. Lest our readers should suppose that this was a selection oi ours, we take occasion to say that it was inserted without our knowledge. To us it seems that the construction of a high bridge would be a piece of extravagance for which there is no apology.

We have already argued the question at some length in this journal. For the present we take leave to direct the attention of our readers to the reflections in the Journal of Commerce ol this morning, in answer to those who contend that a high bridge is necessary for the accommodation of the multitude of vessels whicti may hereafter pass through the chan nel of Harlem River. uncovered in all its strcugth. This thought was no doubt present to the Commissioners and their engi neers. There may be difficulties about it which we do not think of, but it strikes us lhat il would be quite as easy and as sate as the low bridge, and we have no doubt mst as unsatisfactory to most ot tne gentlemen who are so strenuous tor the integrity of Harlem river."

Persons of some distinction arc often pestered by unknown correspondents with applications for their autography.

To remove misapprehension, we explicitly state that, as Democratic Republicans, we acknow ledge no particular class or number of men as our public leaders those who act as the othcers oi our meetings and members of our committees, being let led and appointed bv the people at large, solely on account ot their principles, their ability, and 1'ieir supposed integrity and fidelity 2.

Chinese 1'roverbial Saiincs.

The natior.s of eastern Europe have a vast many proverbial say ings commonto them all. The Chinese, in conse quence of their distance and little intercourse with the rest of the civilized world, have a set of proverbial and popular expressions by themselves. The fol lowing are a sample the of sarcastic kind. A blustering harmless fellow they call "a paper tiger." When a man values himself overmuch, they government, wards opposing all increase of executive patronage and power, whether by direct or indirect means, and whether by lax construction of the Constitution, or by unconstitutional laws ot Congress. 6.

That we, therefore, oppose the depositing of the public funds in banking institutions, where the can be used for private purposes, by discounts loans, or otherwise, and by which a vast monied pa. tronage, ot the no powerful, corrupt, and danger ous kind, would be indirectly placed in the hand of the xccutivc. 7. That we, therefore, rely upon the wisdom and patriotism ol our Representatives in Congress make such a law for the sife keeping of ihe public funds as shall divest the Executive of discretionary power respecting the disposal ot them, and prescribe the places and the amounts in wh.ch they shall be deposited for public uses alone, and also the duties and responsibilities ol the Treasury officers to whose receipt and custody they may be entrusted. And we, therefore, approve of the recommendation to this effect, made by President Van Buren in his message to Congress.

8. That ne, therefore, opposed to a United Slates or National Bank, of any kind, and whether, I'. Ii a capital of one million or of fifty millions believing it to be a dangerous aggregation of monied power, which a judicium regulation of the Constitutional Currency, by Congress, wouid render unnecessary either for lorcigu or domestic exchanges, but which, in its connection with the State, would be subv ersive both of the purity and the Indepen dence ot the tjjvcrnrnent. 9. That we, then fore, approve of the great demo cratic principle, of the equality ol rights in the busi ness ol banking, as in every other kind ot Dullness and, although, wc think it but iust and expe dient to the safety of vested interests, that banks issuing notes under existing charters, should be sustained by the common consent and encouragement of the community, in their efforts to maintain specie payments, and to fulfil all their legal obligations, we nevertheless approve of that law of this State which, by authorizing free hanking, virtually deprives them ol ihe exclusive or monopoly privilege with which they were previously invested.

In declaring this, however, we du not express our concurrence in all ihe detailed provisions of that law, nor our confidence in its practical operation, but merely in the equity and practical utility ol its anti monopoly 10. I hat we, therefore, approve of the gradual in crease of the metallic or constitutional currency ot the Republic, not only as the means of accommo dating the retail business classes of the community, but also ot lessening the burdens ot virtual taxation imposed on the laboring classes by the undue ex tension of paper issues. 11. 1 hat we, therefore, approve of the gradual suppression ot all notes ol a lower denomination than those which laws of Congress, now in being, prospectively require in payment ol Government dues believing lhat the people and the government oi the people should equally be put in possession of as extensive a metallic currency as the wants ot the increasing population may require, and as the progress ol lime can secure. And we approve of the enlightened policy of the late and present administrations of the General Government, lor effecting this most expedient and salutary object.

12. That we are, therefore, decidedly and irre concilably opposed to the principles and projects of the bcdcral Whigs ot the present day, they being the same as they were in 1798 and 1312, under the advocacy of Alexander Hamilton, John Adams, Harrison Gray Otis, llufus King, and Daniel Webster, when they were so faithfully and triumphantly resisted by the united Democracy. 13. That wc, therefore, approve of regular nominations, and all other usages of the Democratic party, which we believe to be just in principle and honorable in practice. Of these usages, we deem it one ol the most just and expedient that the official patronage accruing to the party, should in ai! cases be conferred on known, true and faithful democratic republicans, who, with qualifications tor official duty equal to others, have the additional and re on derating recommendation oi purity ot principle ind fidelity of service.

14. Finally, that we will, therefore, support the candidates lor Governor and Lieutenant Governor of this State, lhat shall be nominated by a Demo cratic Republican State Convention, and also the candidates lor Fresioent and Vice President, that shall be nominated by a Democratic Republican National Convention. These are the principles and measures of the Democratic Republicans ol 1 ammany Hall, and we, the unde. signed, approve of them, and will unite our most vigorous efforts to maintain tUetn New Papers, and of the riht stamp, are coming to the aid of the democracy in the contest between the People and the Moneyed Power.

Their expenses amount to nearly three hundred thousand dollars. 1 heir loans probably exceed fifty millions on which Ihe planters are paying interest, which may be averaged at eight percent.

There is not a schoolboy in the L'nion that does not know thai the old federalists of Connecticut and Maryland" stuck to their party and principles through thick and thin during President Jackson's administration, and did every thing in their power to dtf eat the democratic candidate. The Courier may endeavor to identify General Jackson's adininis'ration as a federal one, but Ihe people of this country are too enlightened at this day to believe any such humbug.

The federal whig funds have been lavishly expended in circula tingthe slanders of Mr. Bond, and it is but right that the antidote should follow tbn poison. 1 am glad to perceive that Duncan takes, the "bull by the horns" carries the war into Africa" beards the lion in his den," and shows the weakness, the folly and wickedness ot the charges made against the administration. Let our democratic friends make themselves acquainted with the facts stated by Duncan, and like David of old with a few small pebblestones of truth they will be able to slay this mighty whig Goliath and overthrow the enemies ol equal rights. Would it not be advisable for our city deleaves to the state convention to furnish themselves with a quantity of this speech, that it maybe circulated by the delegates throughout the stale.
