A Remarkable Exhibition of Whig- Bitter
ness*
It is a well known fact in philosophy that
nil the passions of the human bosom expand
under indulgence. The feelling of hatred can '
be nurtured ttf such an extent as often to as
sume the appearance of insanity; and he es
pecially becomes the slave of that emotion who
is conscious of having inflicted a wanton in- I
jury upon its object. It becomes a master pas
sion which swallows up all the better emotions i
of the soul. A most singular instance of the 1
insane extent to which the spirit of opposition
to Mr. Polk has been carried, was exhibited, a
short time since, in the conduct of the Whigs
of the town of Auburn, at the head of the
Montgomery Hail Hoad, in Alabama. Upon
the reception of the rumor of Mr. Polk’s death, ,
which, it will be remembered, was very gen
erally credited in Georgia and Alabama, these
{patriotic citizens actually illuminated their
louses byway of public rejoicing at the ,
event.
Had this incident occurred in the heart of
Massachusetts, thirty live years ago, among the
genuine '‘blue-light’ Federalists of a former
day, it would have been in perfect keeping
with the general tenor of their acts,and would
not have excited such profound astonishment, j
Hut in our day, when, for so many years, the i
conduct of those bitter and misguided men has j
been viewed with the most unmitigated i
gust, and wholesale condemnation, that the ;
blackest exhibition of their black malevolence !
should have been revived with a darker hue,
and more repulsive features, is a just cause for
serious reflection. The conduct of Major Gen
eral Appleton Howe, of Massachusetts, and of
the Whig citizens of the town of Auburn in
the State of Alabama, is indicative of a ma
levolence of spirit in portions of the Whig par
ty, at both extremities of the Union, which is
disgusting beyond expression. The exhibition
of such feeling is confirmation strong as holy
writ of the workings, not of a high and holy
patriotism, but of a narrow, poisonous, partisan j
spirit,—not of a devotion to pure principle, but
of a morbid development'of personal prejudice,
and individual animosity.
Why should these men have rejoiced at Mr.
Polk’s death? Had the Whig party aught to
gain by such an event? They must have known !
that Mr. Polk’s whole administration has been |
a reflection of the views, feelings, and wishes j
of that majority of the American people which !
placed him in his present exalted position; that
ft has been controlled and fashioned by the
pronciples of the great Democratic party of j
the nation; and that Mr. Dallas, who would
have become his successor, was as firm and
uncompromising an advocate of those same
principles as the President himself. In what, !
then,could the Whig party have hoped to gain
by Mr. Polk’s decease? In nothing save the
gratification of those wretched feelings of par
tisan malevolence, which regard the man as a
personal foe.
At the time of Gon. Harrison’s death, it was
well known that his successor's administration
of the Government would bo conducted, in all
probability, upon different principles. The !
one was in favor of the Hank, the other oppos
ed to it; the one for a Protective Tariff, the
other against it; the one a Northern Whig, the
other a Southern Nullifier. The Democratic
party had every reason to believe that the death
of the former, and the promotion of thh latter,
would work an abandonment of Federal, and
an adoption of Democratic measures. Nay,
further still, they had just cause to believe
that this providential change would secure an
administration of the Government really ex
pressive of the views and wishes of amajsrity
of the American people; for no one supposed
at that time, that the very politicians whose
support was sought for the Whig party by the
nomination of Tyler, would be the first to de
sert him, and the loudest to abuse and to de
nounce “the Traitor.” Yet was there in any
portion of this broad country, in any city,
town, or hamlet, such a disgraceful exhibition
Os partisan de ight at the melancholy event, as
is now presented to our consideration? We
Are proud to believe that such emotions have
never been cherished by any portion of the
great Democracy. Devoted to their country,
and to their on n pure principles, a high and
holy patriotism fills their bosoms, to the utter
exclusion of all such miserable feelings. The
bitterness of personal animosity belongs not to
them. They forget not opposition to his prin
ciples in their hatred of the man. It has not
been for them to abuse and vilify distinguish
ed officers in our army, because they chanced
to be Whigs. Thay have scorned this wretch
ed system of detraction. It has not been for
them to wage a moral warfare against their own
Government, because a political opponent had
been placed at its head.
And when we speak of the Democracy of
this country we mean to embrace in the term
many an honest, patriotic Whig, who, from
personal associations, or an untoward combi
nation of circumstances, has been forced into a
position which will soon become odious to him.
The time is rapidly approaching when a very
large portion of the Whig party will leave it
forever, shaking the dust from their feet; and
it is by just such conduct as we have been con
sidering to-day,that this desirable consumpma
tion will be soonest effected. Let the Tom
Corwins and the Appleton Howes of the land
proceed; let the Daniel Webstcrs deliver such
speeches as the Springfield effort; let the Fed
eral papers of the North continue to proclaim
war against the constitution of our forefathers,
and oppression and injustice to the South; let
the President of the United States be wantonly
insulted and grossly vilified; let the Federal
machinery continue to do its work; it will soon
be seen that the masses of the Whig party love
their country better than the ambitious lea
ders who would conduct them to their ruin,
and the Republic will grow safer and stronger
to the last!

[From the Washington Union , 28M till. ] J
Tribute of Gratitude from. Ireland*
We have already stated that Cdpt. De Kay,
of the Macedonian frigate, presented yester
day to the President of the United States an j
address from the corporation of Cork. It is
handsomely written out on a roll of paper, and
embellished at top on one side with the Hag of
the United States, and on the other with the
British flag. The seal of the corporation at
tests the authenticity of the signature. The
roll is enclosed in a small, neat mahogany box,
with tlxe following inscription upon a metallic
1 plate:
THE CORPORATION
I T 0
THE PRESIDENT OP THE T'NTTED STATES.
This eloquent address breaths the gratitude
| and the spirit of the Irish people:
To the President of the United States of America:
Sir: \\ e, the mayor, aldermen, and bur
gesses of Cork, in council assembled, desire
most respectfully, in behalf of our fellow citi
) zens, to express our heartfelt gratitude to you,
i sir, the head of the United States government,
and through you to her legislature, and also
to her great and generous people.
In this warm and earnest record of our
j thankfulness, it would be out of place to dis
cuss the causes of our national poverty, res
j tricting the great mass of the Irish people for
subsistence to one article of food, which,
though valuable in many 'particulars, is in
these countries the lowest class of diet, and
consequently subjects the whole of the poorer
i population to constant risk of scarcity, or even
famine, should a partial or general failure of i
1 that one crop, the potato, occur.
The immoderately cold and sunless summer
of 18 to was followed by a deficient potato har
vest; but in 1846 the visitation was universal,
and its awful consequences arc still pressing
severely on our community. Famine brought
disease; private employment for the industri
ous classes was greatly diminished; public
employment was deficient, and would not sup
ply three-fifths of the people with money
wages. Grain, at an exorbitant price, was in
many places scarce and difficult of access;
starvation and all its miseries were around us;
but the cry of trxosc who were ready to perish
was heard, even across the dividing sea. The
American nation, with ready sympathy, came
to the rescue, unsolicited, except by their own
hearts; they gave food to feed the hungry, to
| check the famine-fever, and, under the bless
{ ing of a merciful God, to restore the sick to
| health and usefullness.
Sir, we are of one blood witlxjyour own Am
j rxca —brothers. Many of tlxe boldest and pu
rest spirits of England, Ireland, and Scotland
have made their homes in the Great Western
Republic. That love of liberty which they
carried to your shores is become your nation’s
character. Os one mind and one heart with
America, we glory in her acts of philanthropy:
we emulate her independence. May her ban
ner EVER FLOAT ABOVE THE BRAVE AND FREE.
Sir, the generous aid given by the American
public, and sent on peace-making mission in
American ships-of-war, has done more to se
j cure continued harmony between the coun
| tries than any armament could effect. Your
! people, by doing us good, have recognized the
j ancestral relationship which belongs to ns;
| while we, in our cordial gratitude, will ever
use the remembrance of your noble benevo
-1 lence as tlxe talisman of amity.
The light of freedom of trade now dawns
upon our country; the grand law that all men
| ai'e bx-cthren, is about to be made practical. —
Your prompt and liberal free-will offering has
been timely placed on the altar of fraternity
j just as the doors of the temple of commerce
1 are about to be thrown widely open. For the
future, our mutual necessities will recommend
to us mutual forbearance, and mutual benefits
j exchanged will develop mutual estimation,
until the best interests of these islands and
your free States shall become associated, so as
every day to draw the people more closely
into a friendship based on mercantile, moral,
and benevolent intercourse.
Receive, sir, our appreciation of your most
valuable generosity. As Christians and as
men, you have dignified your nation. Such
! triumphs are among the proudest laurels
which can wreathe the brow of tlxe first officer
of a great and generous people.
Done in council at Cork, under the city
seal, the 29th dav of Julv, 1817.

Trouble in the Indian Country.—Mis
sionary Murdered--SteamboatSunk.-A telc
gi-aphie despatch from Cincinnati, Oct. 27,
says:
“The Louisville Courier, received here this
afternoon, has a letter from St. Louis, dated
Oct.22d,which says that a gentleman belonging
to the American Fur Company had arrived
in that citv from the Upper Missouri country.
He left Fort Pierre, fifteen hundred miles
above the mouth of the Missouri river abont
four weeks ago. He says that the Indians, at
the time of his leaving, we’re generally quiet,
bxxt during the summer they had committed
many heartless and cold-blooded murders. A
short time since, a war party, composed of the
Santee and Sioux tx-ibes, passed the head wa
ters of St. Peters, and when they reached the
north fork of the Platte, they fell upon a Paw
nee village, and, in the most cruel manner
murdered a missionary preacher who was sta
tioned there, and a number of Indians.
“About the same time, continues the letter
writer, a war party of Ottoes, at Council Hlufis,
started off and went to Henloek, in the Sioux
country, and murdered a dozen Indians of the
Sioux tribe. The Ottoes were prompted to
this dreadful deed of violence out of revenge
for the murder of a like number of their own
tribe, by the Sioux last spring.
“There had been no news received from
Santa Fe for about two months," but intelli
gence from that quarter was looked for daily,
“The steamboat Simon Kenton accidentally
sunk at Hat Island, on the 23d instant, and is
a total wreck. Providentially, no lives were
lost.”
Tremendous Storm—Great Destruction
of Property.—Cincinnati, Oct. 26, p. m.—
We have been visited by a tremendous storm,
which has caused the destruction of .an im
mense amount of property. It has rained al
most continuously for three days, overflowing
the country for miles around.
Along the Little Miami, which is higher
than it has been known for years, the damage
done is beyond parallel. In a number of in
stances, barns have been swept away, and
thousands of bushels of grain destroyed. The
fences for fifty miles along the river Ixavc shar
ed in the general destruction, and there is no
telling at the present time the extent of the
damage done. The bottom lands have been
overflowed, and the Little Miami, for miles,
now forms a broad lake.
The Ohio river at this place is several feet
above high-water mark, and is still rising at
tlxe rate of one foot and a half per hour. Sev
eral gardens along the river in front of the city
are already covered with water.
The small tributary streams are swollen to
overflowing, and in their mad career spread
ing destruction around. It is next to impos
sible to form any estimate of the amount of
damage done. It is unquestionably the most
severe freshet we have ever had here.
Property of Married Women.—Govoiaxor
Eaton, ol \ ermont, x’ecoxnmended the enact
ment of a law to secure to married women the
sole control and benefit of all property which
they may have had at covexture,or received du
ring it, in their own right.

| Volcanic Eruption. —Great excitement and
; alarm prevails at present among- the inhabi
tants of Walker and Dade counties, produced
by a burning volcano, which is said to have
' burstod out from the high peaks of the Look
out Mountain, at a place called the ‘ narrows,’
on Tuesday, 19th inst. We understand that
many of those who resided on the mountain
and in the neighborhood, have abandoned their
homes, and if not gone into ‘ a far country,’
have at least placed themselves out of harm’s
I wa >'-
j A grave looking gentleman from Walker,
called on us one day this week to give us the
full particulars, who states that on the day
above mentioned, a series of sounds resemb
ling the noise of distant thunder, accompanied
with a slight shaking of the earth, were dis
tinctly heard in Walker and Dade, and by ma
ny persons in this county. That two or three
days afterwards the cause was ascertained to
be what we have already stated, and that the
report and effects of the eruption in its iramc
; diate neighborhood were terrible beyond de
scription. Enormous rocks were thrown from
i the mountain into the valley below, and many
; other strange and powerful tilings done which
| we have not time to enumerate or describe.
[ As large beds ol bituminous coal are known
to exist in the Lookout Mountain, we should
not be surprised to hear a partial confirmation
of the account given by our Walker county
friend. —Dalton {Ga .) Eagle, 'lVth ult.
Burglary. —On Saturday night some per
sons, by means of false keys, got into the
Merchants’ Insurance Company’s Office, open
ed the iron chest, got possession of the books
found therein, tore some of them, covered the
rest with filth and ordure, and left everything
in the room topsy-turvy. They carried away
only ISA dollars in money, leaving behind,
with all its contents, a box of diamonds of
some value, belonging to a lady of this city.
They had put it into a different place, perhaps
to show that they had seen it.
’ihisis a curious case. The perpetrators of
the act were influenced by strange notions,
which it is difficult to divine.
At the invitation of the president of the
Company we repaired to the Office, where we
found the books and papers not so much dam
aged that they may not be used. Only two
registers will have to be copied in consequence
of the filth with which they are daubed.
The papers destroyed were old and useless.

TUESDAY MORNING, NOV 2.
tXF* The Lcgislatux*e of this State assembled
at Milledgeville yesterday. The editor of this
paper is on the spot, and the readers of the
Constitutionalist will be furnished with the
earliest proceedings.
New Books
V e have received from the publishers, Har
per & Brothers, through Mr. Thomas Richards,
at whose store in this city they can be obtain
ed, the following new works :
Campaign Sketches of the War with Mexico,
by Capt. W. S. Henry, U. S., A., Part 1. This
work is highly spoken of by the Northern
press, and is illustrated with several engrav
j ings, among them, the Camp at Corpus Chris
ti, the Battle Grounds of Palo Alto, Ilesaea de
la Palma, Sec.
Part 111 ol the Life of Henry the Fourth,
King of France and Navarre, by G. P. R.
James, Esq.
Another Difficulty about the Mail Trans
portation
We. learn from the Richmond Times that at
a meeting of the Board of Directors of the
Richmond and Potomac Railroad, the Presi
dent informed them that the Postmaster-Gen
eral had allowed the company, in connection
with the Potomac Steamboat line, only $7,-
258 75 for the mail service of the quarter end
ing the 31st ultimo; a reduction of $3,127
from the pay allowed in ’42, ’43, for inferior
service, lighter mails and slower schedules.
The directors, thereupon, resolved to notify the
department that the company declines the fur
ther transportation of the mail for this com
pensation, after the 10th of December.
The Bishop*
The New York Journal of Commerce of the
28th ult. says :—As we understand it, there
is not now the slightest chance for the restora
tion of Bishop Onderdonk. He will probably
receive an answer from the Board of Bishops
to the letter he addressed them, complaining
of injustice, which will exhibit their opinion
on this point. We are happy to learn that the
discipline which has been exercised towards
the late Bishop Onderdonk, of Pennsylvania,
has had the effect of working a thorough re
formation in him as to the practices which
caused him to be deposed.
Our Telegraph.
Wo learn (says the New Orleans Picayune,)
from the enterprising gentleman who is direct
ing the work of planting the posts for the
Magnetic Telegraph between Mobile and this
city, that the line will be completed in the
course of ten or twelve days.
Departure of Troops-
The Mobile Register of the 28th ult. says :
The IT. S. transport steamer Beaufort Dis
trict, sailed for Tera Cruz on Tuesday last,
having on board 74 men and horses ; —and yes
terday the Galveston and the Mary Burt, the
former with 108, and the latter with 135 men
and horses, of the Georgia battalion, departed
for the same destination.
The following extract of a letter from Maj.
Turnbull, a distinguished officer of the corps
"of topographical engineers, to Colonel Abert,
the head of the bureau, written on the 26th
September, may shed some light on the deten
tion of Gen. Scott’s despatches :
“We have all been engaged in making a
survey of the different battles, and connecting
them. A copy of the operations of the 19th
and 20th was sent with the General’s official
reports, which -went by a messenger, with a
passport from Santa Anna, during the armis
tice ; but I doubt if it be received, as it is most
likely it never left the city. I should like to
send a copy by this conveyance, but it is im
possible. We are now engaged in making
surveys to connect the operations of the 12th
and 14th September with those of the 19th
and 20th of August.”
Lake Superior Mines-
There have been no less than 121 distinct
mining companies formed in the mineral re
gion of Lake Superior. The aggregate num
ber of shares are nearly 500,000. Some of
these companies will, no doubt, give a hand
some dividend to the shareholders in copper or
its value, but in many others, of course, the
profit will be all moonshine.
Pennsylvania-
The Philadelphia Bulletin of Monday gives j
the returns from all but four counties cf Penn
sylvania, which give a majority for Shunk for
Governor of 17,987. The four remaining
counties will probably increase it to 19,000 or
more. The vote for Governor in 1844 was 318,-
928. This year it will reach nearly 300,000. ;
Parties in the next Legislature, says the
Bulletin, will stand as follows :
Whigs. Democrats.

House 35 G 5
54 79

Democratic majority on joint ballot, 25
New York
T. hat portion ol the Democracy opposed to
the Syracuse Convention, and in favor of the
ilmot Proviso, assembled at Herkimer on
Tuesday last. C. C. Cambreleng presided; an
address was reported by John Van Buren, son
of the Ex-President, and a series of resolutions
adopted, among them the Wilmot Proviso,
“as an inseparable element of their political
creed,” The Convention was addressed by
Mr. Wilmot, of Pennsylvania, who gave as
surances that his State was in favor of the
Proviso, and Jas. W. Taylor, of Ohio, who
gave a similar assurance.
The packet ship Constitution sailed from
New York for Liverpool, took about SIOO,OOO
in gold. The Garrick, for the same port, had
about the same amount.
Specie in Boston-
Thc Boston Journal says that the amount of
specie imported and entered at the Custom
House at that port, during the week ending
Oct. 23, was $22,342, of which $21,482 was
brought by the steamer Cambria. The amount
exported during the week was SIOOO.
Old Times
In a volume of the “Political Magazine”
for the year 1781, published at London, which
is now lying before us, we find the following
paragraph, taken from a Rhode Island paper:
“Hartford in Connecticut, May 8, 1781.
“The Scnatus Academicus of Yale College
have conferred the doctorate of Laws upon
his Excellency Gen. Washington, and also
upon the reverend Dr. Price of London.”
Rifle Shooting.— Mr. Editor :— Be pleased
to record in your paper the following shooting,
made by a member of the “Savannah Rifle
Club” at target practice on the afternoon of
the 27th inst.
12 consecutive balls fired, (off hand,) dis
tance 140 yards, all balls in—9 in the spot —
aggregate measurement of the whole, 7 26 inches
and 9-loth’s of an’inch—three nearest’ to the
centre of the spot 9-10th of an inch —size of
target, 20 24 inches —size of bull’s eye or
spot, 7 inch diameter —average of each ball,
less than 2J inches.
If the above shooting has ever been beaten
we should like to know it.
The rifle used was of a new s*yle of harden
ed muzzle, invented by C. W. Rogers of this
city, and manufactured by Rogers & Jones,
and I will also add that rifles of the same kind,
manufactured by these gentlemen and used
by the Club, have given entire satisfaction.

CHARLESTON, Nov.l.— Cotton.— The Upland
market, on Saturday, was but thinly attended and
prices less firm than on the day prev.ous; sales 469
bales, at extremes from S§ a 84, principally 84 a BA,
for middling fair tofair.
Rice —Little doing on account of the small re
ceipts, but prices firm at s3| a3£.
NEW YORK, Oct. 28, P. M.—Cotton,Booo bales,
prices much as yesterday.
Flour a shade better; Western, from new wheat,
$6,56a60; a sale of Baltimore city at $6,62.^.
Sterling considerable specie is going for
ward for the steamer; money is distinctly scarcer.
OCT 29, 2£ P. M.—Cotton quiet, but firm. The
merchants are busy preparing their letters.
Flour as yesterday; Western, new wheat, $G r
36a62£; and good brands 69; Southern $6,62a73:
Wheat no sales; rye 93a94 cts; corn 74a77 cts; bar
ley 85 cts; oats 48 cts.
Sterling light bills sold at 10| premium;
freights as before.
NEW ORLEANS, OctTitTpT M.— Cotton. —The
unfavorable accounts brought by the Corabria have
brought the market nearly to a stand, and the sales
of the day are confined to 800 bales, in sundry lots,
at tor Middling. In our second page, we pre
sent our readers with further particulars of the
news which, although gloomy, is a great deal better
than was expected by most people.
Sugar. —6o hhds. old were sold at 7c.; and
100 hhds. at Bpis|c for Inferior to Prime.
Molasses. —Early in the day some sales were
made at 22£c.; but later, at 21£c., at which about
200 bbls. were sold, —the market closing with a
decided downward tendency.
Flour. —Sales 300 bbls. Illinois at $3 25; and 200
Choice St. Louis at $5 50; Ohio is retailing at $5
25.
Corn. —168 sacks Yellow, in Linen Bags sold at
60c.; and 180, new, at 53c.
Freights. —No new engagement for Europe.
MOBILE, Oct. 27.— Cotton. —The dullness notic
ed in our report of last Wednesday continued dur
ing the first two days of the week now closed.
Buyers demanded a further concession, but holders
refused to yield, and consequently the transactions
were almost totally suspended. On Friday, how
ever, holders evinced a disposition to give way,
and on Saturday they conceded on all descrip
tions, at which rates purchasers entered the mar
ket, and, during the two days 2,000 to 2,200 bales
changed hands—the largest portion of which took
place on Saturday. The rates established by these
transactions were as follows:—Fair 9i|c, middling
fair 9£, and middling B|c. The sales of the four
days ending Saturday night amounted, in the ag
gregate, to about 3,000 bales. By Monday's mail
we received a telegraphic despatch announcing the
arrival at New York of the French steamer Mis
souri, with disastrous accounts of the cotton and
money markets of Europe, which at once put a
stop to all operations here. Yesterday's mail
brought us the full accounts by the Missouri, and
also informed us of the arrival at Boston of the
steamer Cambria with Liverpool advices to the sth
inst. This discouraging intelligence has created a
panic in our own market, from which, we fear, it
will not for some days recover. Not a bale of cot
ton has been sold since it came to hand, nor is there
the least disposition on the part of buyers to ope
rate. After the letters by the Cambria shall have
been received, a full knowledge of the extent and
influence of the failures attained, and the whole
news digested, we hope to be able to report some
business doing. In the present state of affairs it is
useless to attempt to give quotations. The new
1 crop continues to come in as freely as could W
! r o( ' te(l > «n the present low stag, of our rivers la
i we are p.eased to note a continued improvement•
.he quality. Oar accoaat. of .he proS t, £ £
in-comiug crop continue to be favorable antt ,1
estimate of its extent are daily becoming h"gh er °
There have been light frosts in the interior „ ot
sufficient, however, to do any injury to cotton '
The receipts ot the week are 4,656 bile
export 1,000 bales, and the stock on hand aud on
shipboard not cleared last evening 764 k i
against 9,303 bales same time last year? H e *'

University, Frazers, the New Monthly-, English
Sporting Magazine, Chambers Journal. Bentley’s
Miscellany, Punch, and numerous Magazines, both

the pages of a wide connection of foreign and do
mestic works of that character, will be made br

known to them by the name of Tripoli, has lately
been discovered in this country, although but in one

Eagle Manufacturing Company," incorporated for
the sole purpose of its manufacture.

ever saw. The genuine article is for sale by the
exclusive agent for Augusta. WM. HAINES.
