MORN I Mi HERALD. OCTOBER IT. 1839. Tli? klrcliout. Nothing can be attended to at the present moment but the elections.

Kvery tongue, every eye, every iii nd, every thought, are engaijed in the What is the result in Georgia! Can yon tell me how New Jersey has gone? Are you sure thai Porter is elected Do tell, is Ohio gone for tha locofocos? These are the questions in every mouth on every lip. You hear them at the tn Broadway, down Wall street, where. Merchants, brekers, bankers, lawyers, shoemakers, tanners, curriers, tailors, saints, mnners, rascals, and honest men, are all engaged in the elections. Kven ihe fair ones themselves, the lovely roses of human existence? the ruby peaches of this lowly world woman, ever charminc and ever interesting? particularly in the latest fashions asking in their soft small voice, enough to coax an angel from the sky do, tell, have the locofocos carried Ohio Yes, my loves, I am afraid they have carried Ohio, and wiih Ohio all the powder and idler that wo had laid up to celebra'e the great results of 1838. There is no denying the fact.

The whigs are beat in Pennsylvania? beat in Maine? next to beat New Jirsey Tery doubtful in Georgia? and almost as baii as in Ohio. With a good a noble cause? an excellent cause, they are like a steamer on lee shore, without fuel, full of passengers, wrong in their reckon ng, and rtady to run into Newport or any port. How comes this result There must have been some bad management somewhi re. The revolution that begun in this city, in the spring of 1337, went over the country in that year, and had taken root ileep enough, as we thought, to send Mr. Van Buren back Kinderhook to tend his cabbages, and to carry his carrots to market, lint alas! the pieiure is now reversed and the world seems to backward to locofecoism.

What is the cause of all th.s? How comes it that Ohio and New Jersey and Pcnnsylvan.a have all gone wrong We must seek the causes in the bad conduct of the leaders but we must not visit their sins upon their thick and flinty hearts until after the election. When Messis. Charles 1 King the revellers at the Astor House, in No- I vember, 1S37, became insolent in the hour of victory, and urged forward a candidate in anticipation of the great party whose cause they seem to support only I to damn, tne friends of General Harrison in those three states went forth from the and the whigs as a party, fail to the ground, and are astamshed at the natural result uf insolence ana impudence. The conduct of certain whig leaders in city, has, for a year past, disgusted the nation, and defeated their party. Yet let the whigs not des; air.

If the lessons they have been row taught can produce a wholesome effort, they may yet prist rve their ascendancy New York and defeat both Cambreleng ar.d Marcy. But the victory is not to be won ithout prudence and energy. They must pull i their jickcts yea. everything, down to their vfy bretcne6. The locofocos are confident of carrying bjth eity and county.

They are no? so sure they imagine. If the whigs, by unity and energy, can carry the city and the state, by any kind of a majority, by the fekin of their teeth, by hook or by crook, their ascendancy may yet be preserved. Let the other states go as they please? turn as they please? kick up their tails, like buffaloes in a warm day, as please. If the I whigs hold on to New York, they will yet carry the presidency. As an impartial observer, we would advise them not to visit the bad conduct? the insolent behavior of the Wall street clique with that condemnation which it ments, till alter the coming election.

Sacrifice every thing for the present. Lick your old foes, the locofocos first? then take time hereafter and set things to rights in Masonic Hall. Not a moment is to be lost? be up and doing. this axiom "New York firm for the whigs, all will yet be' whig? New York for the iocofocos. gone to the devil." The whig committee are in trouble a-out a Congressional ticket.

They had bitter take our advice. FoRHiT'e Tne nomination of Forrest by the locofocos has crtated quite a sensation in the city. It is said tha; he will decline in favor of Leggett? and that it is a scheme to bring iht latter into the field. We hope not. No of th kind.

Forrest is more of a man of talent and discrction than even Liggett. He is not 04 romancing and foolish in his notions. If Forrest should "stand the of the die," 11 bring an entire new question both in theatre cats and polities. It will in fact give the character and hue to the election. A player? a nmre player in bo country, in no age, could step out of routine, and become a political leader.

Spartarus is the first and last attempt of the kind? and he died with the harness on his back-' Stand, Forrest, for tne novelty of it. 1 have a great mind to support yon? ro strike Ogden Hoffman oH the wi ticket, and put jrou on it.

1 I sec yow of the American luilltulCf Our annual exposition, to use the French phrase, commenced yesterday, under the influence of the brightest sky, and the smiles and beaming ryes of the most lovely women which any city in the universe can boast of. Fortunate indeed are the American mechanics and artists, in having their ingenious contrivances to save labor, and promote the sam of human felicity, exhibited where the temptatious to pay thern a visit are so great ns they are here in New York, and, we would aitd, where they can be seen to so much advantage as at Niblo's Garden. On entering the covered walk from Broadway, the visitor parses through a triple line of carriages of the most elegant ana ingenious constitution sleghs with cushions soft as the cygnet's down, and calculated to slide over the driven and hattiened snow with I a rap dity only to be surpassed by a cannon ball, or a streak of lightning. Here are engines for our fire partmtnt and hose carts, which bear evidence o' having occupied the care, and excited the taste and elegant ingenuity of their contr.ve rs. Their beautiful embellishment in carving and painting, are at once descriptive of the particular company they belong to, and a proof of the advance which our city is making in the fine arts.

At the bottom of the walk a beautiful globe its makt claims for it the honor being the largrst in the world? but we thiwk he must be mistaken, for the one in the Mutec Hvyalc at Paris, 1 js quite as large, if not a trifle the st. The one at the Fair is, however, a very handsome piece of work, and does great credit to ihe skill and industry the maker, who completed it during his leisure hours. 1 There is a short description appended to the frame, which states that the spl eroid is formed of two hun! dred layers ol linen, and that the hemispheres are half an inch think, united at the equinox by a copper joint. We then turned into the rcom at the end of the great saloon, and examined seme of the specimt nsof American manufacture in woollen, cotton and silks. I We admired th-1 softness of texture and the stoutness of the blankets and pilot cloths, and the beautiful dress of the extra superfine cloths, as well as the toughness and strength wh ch a parcel ofsattinets displayed to our sense of touch.

The prints and ginghams, manufactured at the mills near this were the theme of unusual commendation from a bevy of beauties, who were themselves, unconsciously, the observed of all observers. A ease of maslin sheeting and sh rtings, from a factory at Seituate, were said to exhibit a marked improvement since the last year's exhibition. Some other manufacturing company have a parcel of Canton flannels, which are manufactured from the wool a breed of sherp which unknown in this country three years since. flannels must be touched to be apprecia- ted. At the end of the apartment ihereis exhibited the model of a railway ferry, together with several drawings, plans and sectional illustrations, lor a pro- erect on to facilitate the intercourse between New York and Brooklyn without the aid of ferry boats.

This is a most magnificent project, and if any one will take the trouble to exaui.ne the model, tliey will at once see its practicability, and assent to the I advantage! which must accrue to both cities, if the work could be set on foot with some prospect of its speedy completion. In the adjoining room there a mode! of the Mer- chants' F.xchange, as it will appear when completed. As a work of art it does great credit to the individual by whom it is exhibited, for competition we believe, Suspended from the roof of the salocn magnificent chandelier, indented and manufactured in this city, and intended only to consume camphene, which will give a light equal to gap, at the moderate price of one cent per hour for each burner. A little further on we examined an improved refrigerator, lor the purpose of providing our hotels and boarding houses with contrivances to ward off the summer sun fr om their laiders. This last improvement, as we understand it, consists in lining the machine with an admixture of cast iron, charcoal and cork, in addition to the zmc.

By this means, it is said, the radiation of heat is prevented, and the interior kept below me freezing point much longer than under the old plan. I the article of furniture, the ingenuity of our cabinet-makers gois fnr ahead of either the Fnglitfh or the French, particularly when the saving of room is the object to be effected. Whoever doubts this assertion, should examine the shut-up bedsteads, on an entire new principle, which are exhibited th.s 1 jtar. They are constructed with acomponnd sprng, so that the person lying in the bed can raise himself to any altitude; and the beauty of the thing is, that tn? whole can be shut up two minutes. and made to assume the appearance of a modern We advise all bachelors who dv not intend to marry, and all newly married couphs just commencing housekeeping, to take a peep at one of these dateada.

On one of the tables nearby, we observed a loose pair of unwhisperables, thit appeared to have some trails of originality about to which might be worthy of the attention of our fashionable snydera. In th? articles of cut glass, silver plate, jewelry, splendid watches, ical and musical instruments, the exhibition is particularly rich, and will excite no little astonishment among of our fashionables as have hitherto patron. zed none but imported articles. In the department of plain and ornamental needle work, painting on velvet, emliroiduy in silk and worsted, fancy waistcoats and stocks, the ingenuity of the fair seamstresses and tailorcssea of this city, is evidenced, by the specimens in the centre of the sa- I loon. There are alao several retherchr demi toiltltts in fringe and tassel work in a beautiful and novel mannerIn the centre of the saloon the eye of the vianor is attracted by the display of skeleton timo pieces and or molu table clocks, of American manufacture; branch of the art hitherto considered as the property of the French and Gwnevese, and by whom it has been almost monopolised.

Tho most attractive feature in this department of the exhibition, are the large and elegant club boats, intended to skim over the dark and deep blue that skirt the of The finest of the lot waa built exprevsly for the Gondola C'lub, measuring thirty-nine feet in length, and looks as if she would prove an ugly customer to any that should dare dispute her swiftness keel, or dotibt the strength of her crew.

Of the lensMh of Wellington's nose, I can speak tolerably accurate, having been pratty near on one occasion, in Hyde 1'ark. It is just the length to reach the highest pinna le of fame? and is a very sensible nose in all its dimensions.

With purer spirit, snd with more fervent than ever David the kmc of Israel said, does he vgr, "If 1 forget thee, Jerusalem, let inyrght hand forget her canning, it I do nol remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth, if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy. iy, the church has a warm, enlightened, aad attathed in this divine. Now, sir, if I thought you dd not believe all this should you prool positive ol the tact, ana th.s way, and I am sure to the factum of every candid and enl ghtemd mind, vis: the I Doctor 2 so! sod that, you or at as.

go far to pr. duce conviction, the thing as iiertcd But, 1 would proceet to the proof in this way and drly his bittereet enemies to gainsay it.

Now, sir, you must have patience, and net oftortolisp until I explain; i for though it be true thai heloved church nt erf 1 like yo.i and me, might be npt to say, why not then by her, and if nood be, lay down life in her de- i fence?" yet von must remember that the Dot tender heart could not endure to see her blood ooaing from the wounds which cruel hands had made ig iher, and he turned aside, l.kw brother oMhe t. loth io old, to pass by on ihe other side, lhat he might not witness her dying struggles or hesr expiring 1 eonfe-s I was mightily moved with th refined tenderness sf the pious man a nnd so his brethren of ihecloih seemed be, for no oner aid, or I suppoae could cay, a word on the su? j- ct.

The good runn really to be sadly afflicted, for there were two members of his session who recorded i a protest against such pious, well lntentioned rcsolu, tKjns and I understand a learned judge, connected with the congregation, fedtiiijs, somehow or other, havt? not undergone the same melting proctss as those of his afflicted pastor, had sorely handled I the good man in the face of the congregation, not having been subdued, as I have already said, by the same articling view which his pastor had taken ol the the afflicted state of the ehtirch, but rather a stern eye on the means of defending her amid her perils, and like one worthy of the land of G.orge Washington, could not be overcome liy the tender appeal of his pastor, when he urged him to Ittave the ship of the church when the clouds began to lour; for, according to the Doctor's own aeeornt, the storm had not arrived, but was coming, for he heard the mutterinys of it the stance and his keen eye saw it while yet beyond the reach of other men's optics.

But by some fatality, the worthy judge, and 1 bklitve, a tolerable sprinkling of the male heads," were with (10 the good Doctor) a lamentable opaqueness of vision, that they could not "see eye to eye" with him at all, and by a bad habit, which I fear Ins judgeship has routraetcd in his professional pursuits, viz of closely scrutinizing a subject, he elicited facts and evidences which sadly confused his pastor, and but for the favorable circumstances in which the Doctor placed, have shaken confidence in the and konesly of his motives and assertions. But I trust this may be averted, and I am glad to hear that his friend are doing all in their power to remove such an impression and I believe to is the Doctor more indebted for such exertions, than to Mr. David, a Levite. who hn.s a tender regard even for the failings of his worthy pastor. Ttus pious David puts me in mind of a story of a worthy country won an of yours who had a high regard for her minister, and Junet being anx.ous to give him a substantial proof of her regard, made htm a present of two.

So this pions 1 David, although he does not go so far as Janet, is a arm friend of his pastor. It was no small mercy that the members of the presbytery did not show 'he same disposition, or had contracted such habits as the judge, for the word I thy doctor might have been plactd with his man Darid in an ugly box. But the dolor's remarks have evidently infused into them the same love ot peaco which swoys own pure bosom, for without disturbing the goddess, they voted his procedure to be wrong. Had the doctor not read thein such a lecture, some of them might probably have thought that his procedure with his five satellites had been most unconstitutional, and demanded, an ample apology 1 and a ofbiftier conduct in future, or the highest censurc which as a court they could administer. But they evidently were more peacefully disposed.
