THE TRIBUNE. WEDNESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 3, 1842 Wsjkinotom City the Tribune maybe bad at F. reside rce, near Third-street, at 3 cento per copy, ami delivered to subscribers at their residence for 50 cento per month, or cento per week-' For a Summary of Foreign News by the Columbia, and an Association Article, see First Page. For The Ideal, and The Reign of Tsrror, (continued,) see Last Page. Tmm Party of and the Party without For the last ten years it has been a standing parrot-song of the party which combines profes? sions of ultra Democracy with a most loyal sup? port of Executive despotism in all its phases, and of gag-laws to suppress the Right of Petition, to vaunt itself the sole party possessing any defined and positive principles, and to represent us, its antagonists, as governed by no common principles whatever, or none that we dare uvow, but sway? ing to every local prejudice, to every caprice of the passing hour.

Now, this latter assertion has some color of truth at its basis, or rather it has had. The Whig party was called into being by a common feeling of hostility to certain great, over? shadowing practical abuses in our Government, and its animating sentiment, its bond of uniou, has been resistance to those abuses. Such were its professed, and such its real bases of agreement and common action. Its origin was not in any speculative views of the rights of Man and the nm-txirn GoTWniDCnt, hut in to mal ad ministration, to practical abuses, and to the enor? mous distension of Executive Power and Patron? age through the instrumentality of the Veto and the doctrine of 4 the These truths are ex? pressed in its very name. But while such has been the avowed and well understood fact on one side, what has been the actual state of things on the other There flaunts the nmme of Democracy, indeed but what docs it express 7 In what possible sense, not palpably at war with common sense, are Calhoun, Pickens cc Co.

Democrats if the Autocrat Nicholas is not Nay, the case is stronger than this: for the latter is intent on abolishing personal servitude through? out his dominions, while Messrs. Calhoun, Mc Duffie, boldly declare and resolutely insist that eternal slavery is the necessary and proper condi? tion of a large portion of the human race. To call these men and their supple and dospised in? struments, the Athertons, Floyds and Bownes from the North, Democrats, and affix a contrary desig? nation to the determined opponents of their Gag Laws, is to insult the reason of mankind. And ne unprejudiced observer of passing events can fail to discern and acknowledge that while tliore are individuals of democratic and others of aristo? cratic sentiments and feelings in each party and ia all parties among us, yet Democracy does not form, and for years has not formed, the real line of demarcation between them, and that the sys? tematic assertion of the contrary is but a trick of the designing to deceive the ignorant and unwary. But the fact to which we desired to call atten? tion is the progress of evcats through the last ten years has been such as to induce a far greater uniformity of sentiment among the Whigs on the various questions really at issue before the country, while it has developed radical differences among our opponents.

Now we have never sup? posed imagined that there could be entire uni? formity of sentiment in the ranks of either host? that the cotton-plaater of Georgia, the squatter of Missouri, the wheat-grower of the Centre and the Manufacturer of New-England, though belonging to the same party, would think exactly alike oh all questions of Politieal Economy and National Policy which may less on all specu? lative questions. But no one can be ignorant of the fact that on the two main questions now at issue before the Conntry the Whigs are united, al? most to a man. Nearly every voice among them is raised to affirm the policy and duty of Protec? tion to Home Industry anc" of providing a Uni romtt National Currency. The few exceptions yet presented are every day becoming fewer and 1 fewer. On the other hand, where arc our op? vaunted party of principles In this City, the devotees of that utter non-resistance to grasping Foreign policy so grossly misnamed Free Trade; so in the Cotton States but not so in Vermont, in Pennsylvania, or in Massachusetts.

There they are for Protection, and abuse the Whigs for not throwing every thing else overboard to secure it. So in Connecticut, as Gov. Cleve? land's Message testifies; so in Troy, where they assert that nobody is opposed to incidental Pro? tection. And thus they rather, va? Protection and Free Trade? Hard Money and irredeemable Stato Banks? from Maine to Arkansas, changing hues with the cameleon and consistent but in inconsistency. But we seed not go abroad for Every shade of opinion en this great question, from almost right to wholly wrong, finds disciples and propagators in the Loco-Foco ranks of our owa State and so on other Improvement, for example.

While the Whigs oc capy one well defined position on this, wo see Lo hostile to all faither prosecution of Stato by Loans in half the State in favor of the speedy Enlargement ia the Canal Counties; of the Champlain Railroad in the North and the Erie in the South, and every where governed by the narrowest views of local advantage. No party ever presented so strange a diversity of per verseaess on any great question. Yet these are the gentlemen who habitually accuse the YVhiifs of a lack of common purposes, and vaant their own superiority as the party of consistency and of principlo! ET We understand that Dr. David M. Reese of this city has bean appointed Professor of the of Medicine and Medical Jurisprudence in the Washington University of Baltimore, and that he has signified his acceptance of the chair.

We learn that he will still retain his Professorship of Theology and Practice of Physic in the Castle ton Medical College, the duties in Vermont being performed in the spring and fall, while those at Baltimore will occupy him in thu winter. Dr. Reese has been a citizen of New-York for the hut fifteen years, and has been an extensive and successful practitionei among us both as a physician and surgeon. He has distinguished himself as a medical writer, and has held a high reputation as a Professor in moro than one of our Medical Colleges. We have full confidence that the University of our sister city will guin an at? tractive and popular lectarer by the appointment ef Dr.

Editorial Correspondence. Saratoga The Paviliow, July 31, 134i The ntftfiiMly sultry, dusty beat of yesterday was broken about sundown by a shower, or rather coalitk'a of thunder showers, from which the rain poured down with great energy, and this continued r.iaikly through the night.

I have rarely if ever known a summer night in which the wind and storm sustemed a wilder chorus. Thi-- mornine had sooereddown a little, our sultry Southern gale trans firmed to a dullNortb-Kaster, the rain falling ratciy and tapering oil through the day to a cool Scottish raist; but we get no sunshine and scarcely a dry hour this evening. Of course. who errrved just as the storm broke upon the vil? lage, have sn nothing as yet; and only know that Saratoga is tinner than she has beea at this sea? Hinted States tha only Hotel over? run as yet, and that only gave up taking new comers at midday yesterday, with her 300 apartments filled, and some 50 or GO guests colonized in adja? cent dwellings. Here at the Pavilion there are yet abundant ac? commodation-, in the midst of delightful shades and arbois, which render a dog day noon cool, fragrant and breezy.

Tho Spring? arc all around, and fountains freshly filled from each Hand ever in the hall, especially calculated for such wet days as this. To-morrow I hope to sec and say something of the place, its people, and its visitors. The storm of last right must have done much damage to the unharvesteJ Grain and other grow? ing vegetation. I came up vest inlay over the Troy Railroad, and was surprised to find the route so pleasant. Every visiter to the SpH up by way of Troy and Waterford, returning by Schenectady and Albany, or rice versa, thus viewing the scenery on each and making comparisons for future guid? ance.

If ycu wish' to stop in cither Albany cr Troy, yet reach the Springs by fair daylight, you can have half a day in either by taking the night boat from New-York and the Troy route. If you stop in Trov, come directly up to it in the small boat from Albany; if in Albany, take the stage thence to Troy at any hour up to 1 o'clock, and yoa are in time for the 3 o'clock train from Troy which reactes the Springs before 6 o'clock. The fare from Albany is the same ($1,50) either way the time about A hours. c. The Coalition.

The union between Loco-Focoism and Tylerism is rapidly approaching its consummation. The two parties have for some time been caning affec? tionate glances at each other, and their marriage must be near at hand, judging from the nuptial present which Loco-Focoism has just The public printing was on Monday taken from the Albany Daily Advertiser and given to the Al? bany Argus. The Advertiser seems rather re? lieved by the removal of the incubus. n.s will be seen by the paragraph which we quote from its article on the subject: The privilege of the publications referred to is as nothing compared with the gratification attend? ant on performing the patriotic duty of opposing such a President as John supporting tho Whip Cause and Hekry of express? ing ar opinions freoly, not only in relation to Mail Expresses, but on all other subjects in which the People are interested." The Custom Home Removals. The Plebeian seems to feel called upon to apol? ogize for tho Custom House removals of Monday, and 3ays that the whole secret is probably the impoverished state of the treasury, and the abso? lute necessity of curtailing the number of public officers." The tF'cbeian appears to speak oy au? and must of course then be perfectly cor? rect in its assertions, but still we cannot help remarking a few singular coincidences in this con? nection.

It ia singular that these removals should be mada just at the time when Mr. Tyler is draw? ing a division line between himself and the Whig party It is singular that the officers curtailed should be those whose devotion to Mr. Tyler was the most 'juspected It is singular that not wnc of the thorough-going supporters of Mr. Tyler should have their services dispensed with in con? sequence of the impoverished state of the trea? sury It is singular that the removals should I take place an the same day on which the Albany Post Office Printing was taken Irom the Whig Daily Advertiser and given to the Loco-Foeo Ar? gus It is singular that the Loeo-Foco Plebeian should be selected as tho apologist for the pro? cedure It will ba'still more singular if Mr. Tyler doeu not soon find a necessity for filling up the va? cancies now made; and it will be the most singu? lar of all, if the new appointments arc not given to the collated, unsetupulous, and unwavering sup? porters of Mr.

Tyler perse. The Ohio Legislature met at Columbus on the 25th. All the members of the Senate were present, and ail but two of the House. They ex? press themselves opposed to general legislation, and psssed a resolution to appoint a Joint Com? mittee to apportion the State into Districts. D53 Mr.

Mason, of Ohio, a valuable business member of Congress, has announced in a dated July 19, his determination not to be again a candidate for Congresss. D33 A schooner was capsized in Chesapeake Bay on Sunday morning, and a Gorman passenger drowned. Several vessels were driven on shore in the same gale.

Thk Better traveler in die West now experiences the full advantages of the better currency afforded by the State Banks. The specie standard is established at Cincinnati, Louisville, St. Louis, and New Or? leans, and iii Indiana; and yet the traveler at lite West, starting with the specie bank paper of either of these points, will often find it necessary to change his funds. With Ohio or New Orleans paper he cannot move nn inch in the interior of Ketitusky. At every change of his funds he must loss from 3 to 10 per cent, discount.

Specie payiag New Or? leans funds 5 to 10 per cent, discount here, and Indiana ut 3. At St. Louis, Kentucky paper is quoted at 4 and 5 per cent, discount. If the traveler wishes for something that will pass lor its face every where, he must purchase American gold e.od he cannot get that for than 3 per cent, premium on silver money. For a commer? cial and ever-travelling people like this, with twenty-six States, all with their banks, to attempt to get on without some National currency is absurd as it would be to dispense with steamboats on the Mississistsippi and return to the old barge and Jour.

Fire is fire broke out this morning in the warehouse No. 67 S. Calvert street, owned by J. B. Morris, F.sq.

and occupied as a bacon store by Messrs. L. G. Cassard, which destroyed the whole interior of the building with its contents. There was a full insurance on the warehouse in the Equitable Society.

We find in the Philadelphia papers of yester? day farther particulars of the disgraceful scenes which have been occurring in that city. After the disturbance in the negro procession, rioters at? tacked the residences of the blacks in Lornbard-st.

and broke in their windows, doors, One of the assailed discharged a gun and wounded several of the crowd of boys. A rush was made upon the blacks, and several dragged from die house and severely beaten, so that their recovery is doubtful. Many dangerous wounds were received on both sides. Upward of twenty rioters were arreved and brought before the Mayor. Great numbers of colored people crowded the ferry during the latter part of the day.

seeking safety on the other side of the Delaware. The particulars of the too successful incendiary attempts which took place the same night will be found below in our correspondent's letter Correspondence of The Tribune. Philadelphia, Tuesday, 10 A. M. Messrs.

happy to assure you that oar city is all quiet after the exciting events of last night. The full details, which ifOU will find in our morning papers, must be taken with some grains of allowance. From intelligence this mo? ment received at the Mayor's office, it is positively I ascertained that not a solitary death occurred I frem first to last in this unfortunate affair. Some serious injury has been sustained, however, from which death will probably ensue. Eight blacks and three white men are now lying in our Hospital, bruised and battered in a most shocking manner, besides the numbers who have found an asylum elsewhere.

The large, hall in Lombard street, to which the torch was applied about nine o'clock last night, was a fine unfinished edifice, belonging to a wealthy colored man residing out of the city. It was in? tended as a place of general meeting for the blacks, and the cry of Abolition," which was got up against it, ensured its destruction. The church in St. Mary's street, within a few rods of the above, was fired while the firemen were engaged in pour? ing water on the surrounding buildings. Not a particle of water was suffered to fall upon the two edifices, which were left to the full rage of the ele? ments, and the flames at tho same time sent up a glare that illuminated the city, spreading dismay and consternation among the The blacks were scattered and concealed in every direction, and their fears were to the highest pitch.

The origin of the riot is cor? rectly stated in my note of yesterday. Some ban? ners were displayed in the procession cemmem morative of the West India emancipation, which were doubtless of an injudicious character, but had nothing of the daring und rash designs asserted mi seme of the papers. 'Liberty and or something to that effect, with the picture of an emancipated slave, being about the amount of the aggression in this war. The arrangements made by our worthy and effi? cient Mayor are such as to ensure the peace of the city, and nothing further will be attempted. At least, such ia now the impression.

Should any thing occur to-day, you shall be apprised in time for your morning's edition. The presence of the firemen tended as much to allay the excitement and check the disorderly spirits in the mob, as any influence that was exei cised upon the occasion. They forced their ap? paratus through tho dense crowd, and with the exception of refusing to play upon the burning buildings, exerted themselves with a determined and manful spirit. Perhaps this very refusal to extinguish the flames of the obnoxious buildings, was a concession to the fierce revenge of the mob, that tended essentially to soothe tho excitement. Every movement throughout this disgraceful pro? outrage from first to last was pre ceeded by a iotof rowdy boys who are, on all such occasions foremost and are encouraged by those who are either afraid or ashamed to load.

Not? withstanding the immense number on the ground, amounting at times to ten or fifteen thousand, it was surprising how few took part in the riot, ex? cept by encouraging it with their presence. The great 'distress' meeting yesterday resulted in nothing but the proposal of a grand procession and the passing of some resolutions. We are very far from uniting in our corres? pondent's suggestion of even the policy of the conduct of the firemen in refusing to assist in ex? tinguishing the fire. We look upon their course as a shameful dereliction in duty, and a most repre? hensible yielding to the lawless violenco of the mob. They had no right to inquire what caused the conflagration to whom the burning building be? longed their duty was te extinguish the fire, and by neglecting to do bo, they made themselves par? ticipators in the.

crime, and covered themselves with ignominy second only to that of the pcrpstra tors of the act. Emigration to Cleveland Herard says the tide of emigration ihrougb the Lake channel this season is into Wisconsin Territory with great force. The rich fanning lands ef the Territory offer great inducesnent6 to agticul taralists. and as yet no State indebtedness threatens high taxation. The last Southport American says: We are told that in Milwaukie the emigrants have to lodge Jn the streets; in Racine every tavorn is crowded: in Southport the taverns are full; there is scarcely a room to let, and one bouse has, we believe, thirty families in the chambers." Characteristic and of Temperance Houses complain that their friends enjoy their rooms and other accommodations with? out ever rendering an A correspond? ent mentions a little incident characteristic of Mr.

Clay and his generosity. On his return home, he stopped at a tavern and asked for a glass of cool water, offering one at the same time to the stage driver. He requested a second glass, which was rather gruffly given, as the tavern keeper supposed he was supplying him gratuitously. His face changed essentially when Mr. Clay handed him a piece of silver, which the man at first refused, but which he fiaally consented to receive as an equiv? alent for the refreshment he had given, whether rum or water.

Journal. Disappearance of Elder Orson Pratt? The Warsaw- Signal, a paper published near Nau voo, stales that information had been received at Warsaw of the sudden disappearance of Eider Orson Pratt, a prominent Mwrmon.

"Dr. Moore is a scholar and a gendeman." We can i give our most hearty assent to this but, comprc hensiveas it leaves much untold. Dr. Moore was distinguished in his Professor's Chair for the comprehensiveness with which he entered into the i spirit of the ancieat autbers. and the wide extent of learning which he gathered from all quarters to I illustiate bis favorite studies.

His urbanity and dignity of manner won the attachment and com? manded the respect of the students, and sis re? signation of his post excited general and deep re i gret. He has lateiy returned from an extended tour tlirough Europe and the East, and is wel? comed back by an election to this honorable and "distinguished station. The appointment is one which will be generally popular, particularly among the alumni, who have had the best oppor? tunity learn and appreciate his wotth. The Croten Waiter Debt. To the Editor of The Tribune The debt already created by the construction of the Croton Aqueduct, laying down distributing pipes within the City, and the payment of interest upon the water loans, amounts to about The work is now so fur completed that three-fourths of the inhabitants of the City may be supplied from it with pure und wholesome This being the case, the question naturally arises.

Ought not the City now to pay the interest of this lntjo debt without resorting to further loans, thereby increasing its amount To this question there can surely be but one answer. If. then, the City ought to pay this interest as it accrues, and the annaa! charges for superintendence and re? pairs, how can the money be most conveniently and equitably raised Three modes have beon suggested, viz: 1st. By incrensing the general tax on real and personal property sufficiently to raise the whole amount, and allow the water to be free. 2d, By allowing as many as choose to take the water at an annual rent, and raisin? the ba? lance by an increase of the general tax.

And 3d. By assessing upon the houses and lots in nl! streets where distributing pipes arc, or may be laid, a sufficient amount to pay the whole of the interest and other charges. The first mode is so manifestly unjust that it deserves no considera? tion. The second would be the true one, only that it? operation would be so slow at first that it would produce nearly the same injustice as raising the whole amount by taxation, and it is liable to the objection that the water-taker would pay both rent and tax for the use of the water, in perhaps equal amounts. The third mode is objected to, because only the real estate of tho City would be subjected to its operation, and the large amount of personal property owned by the citizens would escape its share of the burthen.

This objection has some weight, but it is by no means certain that it would be more unjust than it would be to make it pay equally with the real estate, which is principally benefited by the use of the water. A plan which appears to unite the advantages of the seeond and third, but is more equitable them either alone, and can conveniently be carried into practice, is as follows. At die end of the present season there will be laid down in the City about 130 miles of distributing pipes; these will pass in front of about 44.0'JO lots of these about one quarter mav be vacant, one-quarter have two-story bouses upon them, and the remaining half have three-story houses, or other valuable Let the vacant lots be assessed $4 Two-story houses and lots $10 Three-story houses, $14 This will produce per whether the owners or occupants take the water or not. If it is taken and used for any othor than ordinary domestic purposes further sum would be charged. These additional charges there is good reason to believo will within one year amount to $120,000 per annum.

This added to the assess? ments brings the amount to $582,000 per annum. Now as about $750,000 per annum will be re? quired a further sum of $168,000 must be raised, which can be done conveniently and equitably by increasing the general tnx upon real and personal property to that extent. The reasons in favor of this mixed plan of assessment and general tax are, that it is equitable and convenient; equitable, be? cause the real estate which receives the greatest amount of banefit will bear the largest proportion of the burthen, and again, those water takers who have large establishments and pay large water rents, will not have those rents very materially in? creased by the addition to the general tax which will be required to supply the balance of the de? mand upon the water fund. In the second place it can be executed conveniently; all the arrange? ments must be as complete find perfect for collud? ing the rents from voluntary tenants as they will require to be for collecting a goneral assessment: the only difference will be the payment of one or more additional collectors. The water tenants must all be called upon semi annually for their never yet in any place did, and there is no reason to expect that they wiU now here in New-York, call voluntarily at the office of the Water Board for the purpose of making payment.

Collectors aiu3t therefore be employed if the rent is over collected, and when these aro making their rounds through the city, it will not add materially to the labor to call at every house instead of every second or third. The col? lecting machinery must bo had and it may as well be used. Will the present City Government take measures to prevent the increase of this already large debt, or will they, like some of their prede? cessors, continue to borrow money to pay the ac? cruing interest learn from the Boston Advertiser, that in the Court of Common Pleas on Thursday, in the case depending upon the attachment law of Massachusetts, Chief, ustire Williams ruled that a tooth brush is neither tool of trade" nor household nor wearing apparel," and was not exempt from at? tachment but his honor was clearly of opinion that a thimble in actual use, could not be taken for debt in Massachusetts. postscript to a letter dated at "Read? ing, Pa. on Saturday, mentions the occurrence of a frightful storm on the previous evening in that vi? cinity.

Wc make this annotmoemcnt with some relucr ance. in view of the hardness of the times an-1 the embarrassments which we doubt not are shared by uur friends of the Whig Press. Nobly have they deserved of their fellow-citizens meagre enough has too commonly been their reward: and if we believed the issue of aa Extra Tribune calculated seriously to diminish their circulation or support we should decline it. We think, however, experience has proved that such is not the effect, and that the widest circulation of the City and Country journals is usually found to in the same Counties a.id at the same period.

Rhode is perfectly evident to us that more trouble is brewing, Rnd that another ef? fort will bo made to disturb the peace commu? nity. We caanot, of course, believe that this new enterprize will be attended with any better success than those of a similar character which have trans? pired but that it will be on foot, and speedily, the information have picked up from various quarters compeu to believe. There was brought to this city last Sat? urday, in regard to certain indications near Ox? ford, Massachusetts, of an unpropitious character, to say the least.

The story is not generally cred? ited. We believe it entitled to far more credit than it receives. We believe there exists an organized plan to firw our city. If the truth were known there scarcely has been a night during tlie past week but some attempt at incendiarism has been dis? covered, and perhaps awful consequences arrested by the timely aid of our patrol, whose services, by the way, cannot be too highly appreciated. We would stmngly urge a continuance of our organization, both military and civil; and we woald beg all good citizens of all parties and per? suasions to fall into the ranks in sustaining the peace and welf'jvc of our State and city.
