In London rain fell without int'er- .- mission until midnight, when the wind in- creased to a furious gale, which at 2 o'clock iir the' morning became a hurricane, nnd vjsigecl Lor hours with dreadful fury. Great numbers of chimnies were blown down—the leaden coverings of roofs were fciripped off and rolled up like paper—some -roofs gave way: under the weight of cliira- Iliei'faDiug on them—and-in the outskirts of W city many small tenements were prostra- 'ce4(.

York—anil a> dark,-If not a darker, linea- ment, in these times, is the direct co-opera- lion between the Abelitioniits and the Whigs of New-York. It is useless to deny the fact as having taken place in various parts ofthe state. Read thtf following letter, which has ..been addressed to us; To the Editor of the Enquirer: \ Rochester, (Monroe co.,) ., \Nov. 10, 18U8. \ As it is highly probable that ibis state has gone for the whigs, it is a duty we<owe our friends in other states to advise tliem of the causes that have produced such an un- expected result. The cause cannot be dis- guised—and we should be wanting in faith- fulness to our Southern friends, did we at- tempt to conceal the fact, that the mad and fanatical spirit of, Abolition has produced the result. The plain statement of a few facts will suffice to put you on your guard. First: The candidates of (be Democratic party throughout the Sta.te abjured Aboli- tion. Seconrf: The Whigs courted the Abolitionist's, by nominating ope of them for\Lieutcnant-ljovernor and effected a co- alition of the Whig and Abolition parties, bjj adopting Abolition candidates, more or less, in all the counties. For instance, Gates, the memberof Congress elect.in' the Gerie*. see district, appeared at church-vftth^-u'egrp' seated in bis pew, between liimself and wife ,tjje Sunday before•• tbe elfic'upni*. In.UW coufatiy 1 , every o$§io qualified to vote, voted tfeJvVhig ticketflfii 4he thUfl w»d of this ct^he *Kig'irf^flty^v<3S|/btf^' But, de- ducting-tbe-vo'tes <«f nine n^g-rolfs, who voted (he wtiig ticket, we should have) had a dem- ocratic majority of five. You may rely upon it, that the wild doctrines of the Abolition- ists have received an impetus from a politi- cal union with the whig party, that will hurry them on with fearful rapidity in their mad career. Yours, respectfully.\ Another memorandum which we^have re- ceived from the same city confirms the above ' letter. It says: \ If our southern friends, do not Sustain the Democracy of the North, the \Abolition Whig\ party of this State will ride over us rough-shod. Now, look ye at the South, what the bastard Whig p.irty oS \<&ft is, com- pared with the whigs* of 1 76!

We have laid before our readers the Circular of the Albany Abqljyonists, inviting all the Anti- Slavery Eeiectors of the State to vote lor the whig candidates—and declaring that \ Mr. Seward is the candidate of the party that opposes the re-election of a President who stands .pledged to veto any bifl abolish- ing slavery in the District of Columbia.\ We have seen no republican press seeking the v«te of the Aboraion»t»V-tttil on the coo,- trsr.y we have seen it\ deprecating and Re- nouncing the interposition of Abolitionism as a political test. Among these journals, the Albany Argus, the leading republican paper in New York, has distinguished itself by the manliness and directness of its repro- bation. On the other h.ind, what whig pa- per befor«,4he-election, came out against the Abolitionists, (the eccentric Now York Her aid alone excepted?) Some of them kept dark—played orator mum before the elec- tion—-whilst others openly invited the co- operation of the Abolitionists, nnd asked them how they could vole for one. so deci- dedly opposed to their views ns Martin Van Buren? True it is, that some of these whig papers have since come out against the Abolition-, ists—but what of. that, as it concerns the election? They new d-jspise the traitor, but they were willing to*avail themselves of the treason. These posthumous denuncia- tions of a (ew paragraphists, have not the weight of a feather against ihe obvious con one's hand, is now covering and blackening one side of the hoiiton; so impudent are they becoming in their pretensions, and fo disgraceful is the acquiescence of the white citizens, that at the late ejection in Boston, they ran an Amaigamtutn ticket, on which were the names of %lt/tf»fc»f«dV oersont^- and so infatuated are some<of the wriigs, that a wh|g correspondent^pf the.Npw Yflfrk Oa' zeite writes from Boston on the\ 13th, an account of the various tickets that were run. He snys, \the abolition ticket contained the names of several negroes as candidates for the Sute legislature. The last I understand cast \1200 votes. There were one. or two. other independent tickets run, each of which detached from the whig majority. At the general ejection, np doubt, every vote ex- cept those east for the. regular loco foebs, would be thrown for tlie wl»ig**V--that is,, the abolition ticket am! all! This question of Abolition, thus dark in its designs, is becoming daily more and more portentous in its consequences.

[From the Now YorkJSvening Post-1 \Sir \said a distinguished Whig of this city to a fiieud just before the election, \I believe the whigs will carry the city, because they will spenu the most money.\ The result has been precisely what was predicted \by this gentleman, aud was accom- plished by the very means to which he allu- ded. The amount subscribed by the whigs, and placed in the hands of corrupt agents, was prodigious beyond all former example, and was subscribed in such a way as to offer the greatest temptation to corrupt practices. Only a-part of it wa.if to be paid if trie whig ticket did not obtain a majority. 1 ' With this, money-active arid profligate agents were hi- red to promote the election of the whig tick- et, with the promise of an additional com- pensation if, they succeeded—a. mode of compensating them well calculated to call out all their innate knavery. We. solemnly believe that if the instances of gross bribery at the late \election of votes given' by per- sons who were not entitled, and. of double voting, were collected, it would show an ex- tent of political profligacy never paralleled in this country. It is vain for the whig papers to pretend that the election was conducted on their part with any regard to honesty. There is the fact, the notorious, undeniable fact, of a prodigious fund subscribed and expended by the whigs, and,there is the fact, no less no- torious, that the most profligate tools were employed, and paid out of this fund, and that their profligacy was stimulated to its intensest activity by a promise of ad- tlitioas) compensation J in'ease th* majority should be on the whig side. Here were premiums offered to dishonesty and fraud, and the consequence was, that Ihe supply was proportioned to the demand Beat up for rogues, and offer a liberal bounty, and you are sure to find men ready to enlist.

In fact, how can ln$se>after-lhougliis and-after declarations avail against a thousand circumstances, which it were tedious to recapitulate. But -this is a ptse-wbich? is .not confined to this single occasion. Noah & Co., as well as the Abolitionists, all understand the. manoeuvre. It was played in -NejiKYork in 1828, when the Anti-Masons IpjaWated Solomon Southwick for Governor, Sfi&'sol- emnly pledged, him their suppoit. ' But when they came Jo the vote, almost all the NatiojSajS-RepuDliuan Anti-Masons voted for jjthige Thompson, the National Republican, in opposition to Mr. Van Buren, the Repub- lican candidate—whilst they left tlie duped Democratic Anti-Mason's to vote for South- wick. They have now been playing over pretty much the same game with the Aboli- tion drama. Publicly they disapproved of Seward's answer—they declared that the sincere Abolitionists ought to withhold their \votesfrom both candidates^ Thedemocratic Abolitionists hare in general, and in good faith, done so; but the great mass of the fanatics are unchanged whigs, and they have put in their ballots for Seward. His vote is probably nearly, if not quite, as large as Bradish's. Some S'duthern whig* in the city of New \ork, arid some really high- minded men throughout the State; have struck the name of Bradish from their tick- ets ; but the whigs have supported him with almost as hearty good will'as they-have done Seward himself. We confess, that the subject of Alolition- ism begins to grow upon our apprehensions, and to assume a darker interest in the pros- pects.of our country. Since it has become streams of the elections; since some of the .most distinguished candidates of both par- ties have condescended to answer their in- terrogatories; and some of tfaem to truckle for favor, and to carry their votes—since we have seen the latter movements ic Ohio, in New York, in Massachusetts, and we hear of similar design* prevailing in Rhode Island arid Connecticut, h is becorrilpg a fearful and portentidus quesjion to the South, in- deed to the whole Union. Success only encourages the abolitionists to persevere in their designs, lo extend their demands—in this cloud, which was once no bigger than every\>bsU|nction from the whble fo the ciiy police, ami the repulses of the op- position corps of election judges, who had the whole control of the polls, no man doubts, constitute a majority of the legal votes of the city. To beat this acknowledged ma- jority, one hundred and eighty-two thou- sand dollars were subscribed by the federal merchants, and put at the disposal of us- piincipled partisans, to introduce mercena- ries from abroad, and by other frauds, eke out the actual federal minority, which never exceeded eighteen thousand, and tnake it the majority. We have the information from individuals of high character, who saw \the subsctipiion-paper, the names and sums attached, whereifi'it was stipulated that only half the amount subscribed should be paid in case the'->federal party failed in the elec- tion. The Grinnells subscribed $1500 to this fund for the abuse, prostitution, and prostration of the elective franchise. The condition which made the payment of the retained half of the subscription depend 1 upon the successful application of that por- tion of it which wss advanced to effect the frauds contemplated, is a new improvement' upon the tactics of. the party laboring to de- stroy the purity and efficacy of free suffrage. They are so practised in fraud and corrup- tion, and have studied so thoroughly the jjnotives on - which they operate, that they \have at last ront rived a mode to make the knaves they employ, although false to ail else, true to them.\ From the Rochester Dally Advertiser.

WESTERN NEW YORK. This section of the state is increasing rapidly in population, wealth and enterprise. Two prominent causes conspire to render her the \ Queen of the. West,\—her com- mercial and agricultural advantages. Her inland communications with the great lakes, canals, and rail roads, bring a ready and cheap market to the door of the farmer, and have already in her infancy, produced two cities second to pone in the state, in the ra- pidity of their growth and energy of their population. This portion of the Empire State, however, is chiefly distinguished for its rich agricultural productions. The soil is well qdapteTl U^|azin{g\«) the growth of all kinds of coenegltjiM', but more particu- larly of «hemi,|rifefi[{« the great staple ar- ticle of the farmei&ndthe substantial wealth of the country. >The wheat district embra- ces a limited section of some 150 miles in extent and forty miles in width—confined chiefly lo the counties of Cayuga, Wayne, Seneca, Ontario,Livingston, Monroe, Gen- esee, Orleans, Niagara and Erie—which supplies most of the state and city of New Yo/k, the New ^England States, and much of the foreign demand. ; From a rough esti- mate, it is ascertained that the yearly ex- ports of wheat and flour from this compari- tively small district, amounts to upwards of six millions of 4<>Uais. The soil is a mix- ture of clay, lime, and gravelly sand, and the climate, from the nearness to the lakes, or from some other cause, is favorable to the wth of the peach, pear, quince, grape, licb are,#pt;produced in much abun- Ji in other*.Sections of the state, except on the borders of the Hudson River and on Long Island. • The widening of the Erie Canal, and, olhjSg improvements now in ac- tive operation }^.the vicinity of Rochester, JLockpqr^^^^ffaio, will for a few yearsto coinG,ij||HHfiB|active circulation a large amou^^^^H^rvrbile they will perma- nent lyl^MHgBi*\' 1 ' 0 \ \^ tne sla,e - Good farmiripHH^^He' maintained their prices duriog^lplpfliProsiQn of specie payment, with, few exceptions of forced sale, arid are now on the rise!?' No kind of property, not fwn bank ilock.'haa maintained a more per- manent and fixed value, than good product- ive wheat farms. There is a certainty of an inrreased value of good farming lands, from Therpresentpricesi-af produce. In-many in- stances, two and three crops have paid for the lands at their present prices. It requires bat little calculation to show this fact, when lands produce 20 and 30 bushels of wheat to the acre, and command the present prices of from $1,50 to $2,00 a bushel. Within the last ten and twenty ye<trs, lands have, in- creased in this section of the stale, from five and ten dollars an acre, up to $30, $60, and in sortie instances to a $110 dollars an acre—and- the fanner has grown rich\ and independent,3#h from the productions of his labor and Ihe rise of his lands. The practical independent is truly the lord of the soil, and has bis* reward in the abundance of its productions, and in ihe eujoymeut of a retired and \well spent life. X. COL.

Our people along ihe border appear to be arbamed and sorry for what hss happened, and all deny any previ- ous knowledge or participation. Apprehen-' sions are entertained of retaliatory operations. Of this I have no fear under color of author- ity; yet it is possible irritated individuals may seek to revenge themselves on some of our frontier towns. Against such efforts I shall take precautions; and 1 doubt not the commanders on the other side, whose inter- course with me has been characterized by high courtesy, wdl act jn a corresponding spirit.'\ My^cc^msnd has been almost con- stantly-underarms, exposed to very hard' weather, for five days and nights, and are, both officers.and men, quite exhausted.\ •'' -y. in..—^—*—- - , A WARNise'.-r.ThP N\' 6 8ftl > of a gentle- man in Detroit «|ied recently from the.effects of white lead taken into the stomach from a toy.

The federal papers are flattering them- selves that the democratic 'party is disrup- tured, and are hugging the idea that we are effectually beaten and disheartened, Delu> ded fools! Let tbenjutake.up a democratic paper from Voy part\ of the State and it breathes any thing but a disheartened spirit. They are one and all coming upttttpe ever- enduring contest between democratic prin- ciples and arjsiociatic measures, with an energy and.a tone that tells of confidence and hope. They are hanging out the true banner under which we are to fight the battle and in the end prove victorious, \ADivorce of Bank and State, <t separation; of the funds of,Government from the funds of individuals or of corporations, a COKSTITOTIONAI INDE- PENDENT TREASURY, and no national bank.\ Thjs is the true national' issue, which the federal slogan of ' smqll bills,' smdtl bills,' raised with desperate energy 51 on the eve of an election upon which hung all their hopes, has transieritly^obsoured,\ b\uT wheh clearly presented to the people, unencum- bered by minor questions, their sober second thongbt will decide correctly. This is the question which the democratic press with unabated zeal are laying before the people, and in which is there strength and trust. And are democrats individually'disheart- ened ? Quite the reverse'. Go talk with the sinew of the democratic party, the'fiuge paws,' as the whig lordlings style them, and is their ardor quenched by this adversity ?— They will tell' you that there have been similar reverses before, that federalism in conjunction with divers factions has occa- sionally swept the State, butthat its triumph was always short-lived. Says one man to us, \I voted for Daniel D. Tompkins'for governor in 1807—I voted foPbim because* he was a democrat, I have voted for men of Ithe same principles ever since. Some- times we have been up and sometimes we have been down, but 1 have always observed that in the long run democracy carried the day, and if I live two years longer, I anvcer- tain that I shall live to find myself in the majority.\ Such is the spirit and such the belief that possesses every democrat,—and are we disheartened then 1 a rap from the Medisonian, *t Washington. Other of the federal presses, with a little less honesty, and a little more policy, keep si- lence upon the subject, swallowing the pill with as little contortion as possible. Others, again, with no ltouesty at all, but brim^ull of proilence, come Out boldly in favor of the measure, sayingthat Mr. Tallmadge deserves the honor a,nd the office by reason of\ tyis great services In the cause of wliggery.— They put; it upon the ground of a reward -for ^bjs »j>osti&y, and'they certainly have Men the only pos'nion which, under the circum- stances of the case, is teoarfle. (Lf^THe Spoils ofJ||e late victory are likely to be snatched Way from the#roomb of the expectant federals, by the motley allies they called in to then- succor. The Conservatives, with a pertinacity that can- not safely be disregarded, insist upon having Tallmadge returned to the U. S. Senate.— Whether, they will be ©ontent with this loaf, is uncertain.. The abolitionists, also,'are begining to put in their claims, and exalt iheir services r and demand their recompense. Read the following paragraph, andsee^what one of the contracting parties says of the identity of whiggery and abolitionism, and of the important services rendered by the latter to the former. ASOUTIOS VICTORY..—It appears by the following article from a New Xork abolition paper, that the abolitionists claim ihe late whig triumph iu that state as an abolition triumph. \We assert that there were 1500 abolition votes given in this city-for Seward, and more than 1800 for Bradish. In the state Brad- ishhas recieved more than 20,000 votes from abolitionists, and Seward more than 15,000-. Their election has been effected by abolition suffrage\; and should the whigs find no bet- ter candidates for the Presidency of a the U. States in the fall of 1840, than the president of the \American Colonisation Society,\ alis the \Negro Shipping Company,\ abo- lition votes will turn the victory the other way, by the re-election of M. Van.Buren.\ In another article in the same paper, the editor of which appears to disaprove the plan of proposing to the candidaies an abolition creed, we firia the following sentence ; \The successful candidates in this state' have succeeded wholly, on the ground of abolition suffrage ; the official abolition creed notwithstanding. Thousands upon thou- sands of abolitionists have voted the whole whig ticket, in opposition to the general in- stiuctinnofthe body. This weshooldhave done had we voted,at all.\-—N. J. Eagle. \ LET NOT YOUR X.EFT HAND KNOW WHAT YOUR RIGHT HAND DOETH.\—We should judge that the federalists had lost sight of this text, when they fell into their beef-giving humor, the other day. As did the Phari- sees of old, when about to give alms, sound the trumpets before them, that all men might know their good deeds, so do the Pharisaical federalists of the present day, march their charities through the streets, bedecked with ribbons and adorned with flags, and proceeded by fifes and drums, and followed by shouts and hurras, that the eyes of the world may be attracted towards their acts of benevo- lence. We admire the charity of the whigs, bu we detest the motive that led to it. We hav not the power that some about us have, of pen- etrating the intentions of our fellow men, and we have, therefore, written the above sen- tence with all due consideration of our own weakness, in this respect, and with all due deferenee for the superior capabilities of others. But we would ask, if, upon the first flash of the matter, it does not wear the as- pect of a .matter got up for party effect ? Is it necessary to give efficacy to a charity, or to render it beneficial, that the alms should be bedecked with ribbons, and paraded with martial music, and branded as a whig offer- ing ? Is not rather all this effort for noto- riety, an endeavor to identify the whig party with the alms-giving ? So it appears to us, and for this reason do we condemn it. We reprehend the attiring of a party movement, in the garb of a moral act. If the whigs were moved by this universal charity, as they would fain have us believe, why not exercise it more privately, but full as effectually.— No, this was not the motive. It was party aggrandizement, and sacreligiously have they sought their object, under the cloak of benevolence. fj^lt is butt o. seek justice, to request the Courier to publish Mr. Sterling's denial of the truth of the affidavit which -appeared in its columns last week, prefaced by some Ed- itorial remarks, It will readily see that the affidavit is without truth, and attributes mo- tives and actions to Messrs.Bronson & Ster- ling, so foul, that whenever a public journal has been seduced into giving circulation to such an aspersion, it should setee th» earli- est opportunity of remedying the iojury it may have inconsiderately inflicted. The. letter of Mr. Sterling to the Commercial Advertiser, giving the lie to the affidavit, may be found in that paper of the 22d or 23d, or the Albany Argus of two or three day's later. We trust this notice on our part-A\ilI be sufficient to induce the Courier to perform the part which justice and right mark out for it. MR. TAI4.MAD6E U. S. SENATOR.—-It seems to be settled that Mr. Tallmadge, the Conservative, who professes to differ with the administration only upon one measure, is to. be sent to the United States Senate, to represent thai, party' whose only common principle is opposition to every thing which the administration advocates. He who re- ceived wbiggery with the single purpose of using it as a drug, by which to physic his own diseased democratic party, is to be sent to Washington, as the only fit vender of that precious commodity. Some of the federal papers, more honest than politic, have ven- tured to raisetheir voices against this move- ment. The N. Y. American says it can never be in favor of sending that man to the Senate, who once voted to disgrace it, by the passage of the Expunging resolution.— Another jouroal-cannot support any one who is in favor of the doctrine of the right of in- structron. But these giumblers are soon and easily muzzled by the mandate of the dictator, Thurlow Weed, at Albany, and. by ANNUALS FOR 1839. THE RELIGIOUS SOUVENIR.— Edited by Mrs. L. H. Sigoutney. —This beautiful an- nual makes its appearance the present season with peculiar claims upon th.e Christian com- munity. It is edited by one whose harp has been often touched for their comfort, in the dark hour of affliction, and whose muse has ministered to their exhaltation in the hour of gladness. Its appearance sustains the expectations which the previous numbers have raised, and of its contents—what shall we say ? - The mere fact that its publication has been confided to one whose pea has hallowed every theme upon which it has dwelt, would render every word of praise superfluous. Read it. THE^GIFT— Editedby Miss Leslie.— \The pretty Miss LesW has here'given ns ano- ther crumb to feed upon ; and a very pleasant one iuis. The Gift has always been a fa- vorite, and long may it continue to be so. THE VIOIET, by'the same editor, will no doubl be an acceptable Christmas or New- Year's Present for -some of oar juvenile friends.' It unites both amusement and in- struction in»the most attractive form, and cannot fail of affording pleasure wherever it is read. Thi3 department of labor (the in- struction of the young) seems to be indeed peculiarly the editor's fort, and from the facility with which she draws her moral les- sons from the most familiar circumstances in life it cannot be doubted that she is emi- nently qualified for this high and responsi- ble task. THE IMPERIAL, a London Annual, comes to ns with a fair, nay> handsome exterior; and from a hasty glance at its contents we cannot doubt that it will be a pleasing ac- cession to the list of holiday presents already before the public. We recognize in the list of contributors several names familiar to all lovers of the beautiful in composition; and in the contents one or two old favorites, welt worthy of preservation in tffis attractive and pleasing form. ' > •« THE TOKEN AND ATLANTIC SOUVENIR— Edited by Sr€t. GooeNeA^—Weatesorryjo see that the. publishers of this interesting periodical have again reduced it to its ori- ginal form. We had hoped, from its dress on its last previous appearance, that it was about to take a permanent-stand amongst the highest of the class to which it properly be- longs, and to which its character would so justly entitle ttf^but it seems that our antici- pations were not to be realized. There can be no work of its kind more generally inter- esting than this, and surely, in regard to our American Annuals, the number and variety is not so great but that the public might af- ford a liberql support to all. We trust that another year may see it presented to the reading public in a richer dr'ess, and if pos- sible, with still richer contents.

In a time like the present, it is peculiarly grat- ifying to the sincere well-wisher of his coun- try and her institutions,' to see that the minds of her great men are directed to the '<wlf * means of preserving her Liberties ijnjml^^rl for the enjoyment of future generations, namely, the universal spread of knowledge among the people. In the language of the address, \We want such! systems of educa- tion for the highest and the lowest, as shall' tend to develops the reason of man, the glory, of his nature, and to increase his power of discoursing justly and clearly upon those- realities which are out of tr\e range or - his senses;\ not such as relate merely\to\ tb;e* personal and present enjoyment of bi8.sen» : . sual nature. When false lights are springing up in every department of science, it is desirable^tMeast that that of education sho uld be. kepj; pare- from the contamination of error,, When- empiricism, with its accompanying self-con- ceit,, is blinding and leading'captive the un- stable, nothing is more important than the, - establishment of sound principles, which shall secure us from the evils of quackery. In a Republic, especially, nothing is of more infinite moment than the universal dissemin- ation of correct moral andpolitical principles; for upon this depends the stability of all pop;, ular governments. No people can be a \right-minded people\ without this, and to produce such an end should be the ultimate object of all public education. This is an age of novelty,—and in nothing perhaps has that love of change, which so pre-eminently characterizes our people, been more frequently called into action, than ra- the important business of EJucation. vYet id\ how few instances have the people derived solid advantages-Jrom those numberless in- novations which have been introduced under the color of improvements! \The great and acknowledged importance of Education has opened a wide door for imposture, andt. the fervent desire of the people, to prbvids inoFlheirclila^^ speculators and projectors. The attainment of all that is desirable is promised by as uni- versally applicable and brief a process as the cure of all diseases, and certificates of certain success are as easily procured. While'this process is going on, time-honored institutions, which have been the means of raising t&f pre- sent generation to its elevated position, and have furnished the great and practical men, who have given character to the country % art decried as behind the age. We maj please ourselves with the idea of, improvements, and even that we are adopting more practical methods, when we are in fact only abandon- ing the results of experience, and following the crude and untried devices of our own brains. Much of that, which is thought eminently practical, has never existed out in theory, while much of what is deemed theo- retical and fanciful, has grown out of expe- rience, and been the work of many genera- tions of the wisest men, actively engaged in the management of human afjalrs.^jp; this is true, and that it is so is beyond a question, then how absurd, nay, how Jarrg-erotM must be the confidence so frequently resting in the capability of those individuals,to 4j r ect the growth and proper devclopement of the public mind, who have never, by severe study and discipline, prepared^their own minds for the best exercise of. that reasoning facility which is the glory of mno's nature.
