It appears that prices ruled the highest during
,he administration of Cm. Washing-.,, winch
was immediately after the American lb-volution.
In that of the elder Adams high juices w ere main
tained. In the eight years ol Mr. Je.llomou s
term, prices were very uniform at moderate rates.
Under Mr. Madison’s administration, and at a pe
riod of Peaee and War, prices were high and
fluctuated. Under Mr. Monroe’s, Adams, and
Jackson’s, embracing a period of twenty years,
prices ruled at least two dollars below the previous
twenty years.
The following table exhibits the receipts nf b lour

I.ast year there, was imported into this city up
wards of four millions bushels of grain.—this year
there will probably be none. It is calculated that
the amount of Bread »m (Is wanted for the Eastern
Slates will lies nsildy diminished. The demand
from the Wool Imli s and South America will, in
consequence of the sh irt supplies in Europe, fully
make up any short demand from other quarters.
Onr article it will be seen, is principally composed
of Western supplies by the canal. It is very difli
cull. in fact imp issilde, to make up any correct table
of the supplies Irom the miles on the North River.
From the South or from New Orleans, as the best 1
crit-rion of these supplies we give the following
UiMc. As the flour consumed in the eity i, not
required to be inspected, this may 1 e added to the
table. The city consumption iseompulcd at 1000 |
bids per day, v.hich for 365 days is 365 000. |

The operations in Flour in this city are immense,
being over a million and a halt barre.s, which at
eight dollars will amount to twelve millions ot ilol
lars. We propose to give the genera! course ol
this f ide and the manner of doing business with
the Wc t.
The principal mills are at Rochester, and have
inc-ea-ed loan astonishing extent; not only at
Hi. In sier tail at Black R >ck, Oswego, Seneca
Falls, and at various other places. Men of large
capitals are embarked in the business. New Vork
w.ll h formerly supplied all or ueady all the wheat
w .nufaeturers, now only supplies her quoin.
Ohii, Pennsylvania and Michigan furnish a very
Urge portion ot the wheal that is maiitilat tureil,—
The qil iiitily r'reived til's season will be over a
million barrels. To purchase wheat lor ibis great
quantity require* a vast capital, greater llian even
tli ise engaged in the business, rich as they are, are
enabled to supply. The purchase of wheat, the
sale of the flour,’ and the raising of hinds, are
therefore very important branches ol the business.
The raising of funds is a-conipluhed mainly in
this xva\. i’he .41 die s hrs* m.ccl their agent in .
Now York with whom they make arrangements |
for the raisin ;of money. This > done by placing |
in the hamU of the agent ample security, hy inon- i
gages on mVs an i , .n. sc unty; a credit is 1
thus csl ■. or a hundred thousand ’
dollars .. 'in the New York merchant who eomes I,
under* stipulation to accept drafts lor the sum I ,
agreed up u at tonally 60 or 90 days, and this be- |
fore a bushel of wheal is purchased or a bum 1 of '
Hour ground. There .halts arc made at the pleas- j 1
lire of the drawer and the in ei o l v, ;c ■■ mos tly at j
Uocli Mcr, Bud.ilo, Uunaudaigua, I ;i... i .VI- 1
banv. discount thcs«'drafts. Their hank notes are s
received, with which the purchases of wheat an
made 1 \ agents at diST rent points in New Vork, (
Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Michigan. The hunks
arc hem li ed by the circulation of their bills. The '
miller obtains his wheat.—the canals, manufactu
rers and commission merchants arc all benefited,
an 1 the consumer is not injureii. ’l'lie commission
merchants, who receive, this million barrels of
Flour, are confined to a very few , not probably
exceeding ten in number. They mu l necessarily
be men ol goad i red.l and great means, as they are
during the year under acceptances, one way or
another, for eight or ten millions of dollars. ’Flu ir
commissions on this large sum. calculated at nine
millions, at two and a h ilt per cent, is two hundred
*nd twenty-five thousand dollars. —a large sum
for the millers to pay—and a liberal sum, but not
too much lorthe merchant to receive for the h i/.ard
he has to run—the advances he has made, and the
services performed.
We can form little or no calculation ourselves
as to the prices of FI aur for the coming W inter.—
It has been stated pretty g tonally in the papers in
various parts of the country, that the 4\ heat crop
his been large. It is now doubted whether these
reports have not been exaggerated and it is much
feared the crop has not been us great as was -.ntiei
pated. Until within a very few f. 1 ■
have been so low, that many of the nuns ,e stood
id!*' The quantity of wheat grown in New Eng
land is greater than ever, and the crops of Corn
and P ototoes in that section have been good. The
supplies, therefore for that quarter wilt be less titan
usual. This demand, however, must lie more than
made up by increased supplies that will bo wanted
far South America and the \Vest Indies—t large
portion of which curniot be tumithcd. tie heretofore,
i'rom England, and some portion of the Continent.
Whether prices w ill advance or not, time must
show. There is wc fear hut little prospect that
those will fall much from present rates.

f urffhe Chronicle and Senii
Ms. Editor.—Bo, after the spare of throe days, 1
my squib of Wednesday has kindled the fire of '
“ Charity,” and made his steam to rise. Whether 1
the heated bricks ami Ao. ois to keep it up, will he I
seen hereafter. ,
I would not trouble you again, Mr. Editor, were (
,t net to correct the mistake, and inconsistencies of ]
tnis sapient writer. Ist, he says lam certainly un
worthy ol respect or notice-,” still he, the mighty
champion even of" the talented and polite 1 N'ardin,”
takes n very public notice in twenty-seven lines
1 u' lislied in \ ear valuable paper, of my little squib
of only six lines; and so far respects me, as to ea
g'ge him three days and night; in writing a reply.
A ••lily, I fear “Charity” was burnt by that little
squib, and has gone od’ half cocked.
2d. He feels proud to know that lam ashamed
to put my name to my eominunica’ion,” and yet he
himself is not ns.i./ncdto suppress hi own even when
writing for the mo t charitable onJ henceolent object;
but imitates me by using a fictitious title.
3d. “ The Medical College suspended, and
medical students who went there to study medicine,
| left that city in the greatest haste to avoid the pes
-1 tilence;” notwithstanding tins mighty tiering of the
l regular I'octors from this ill-fated city, 11 C harity”
, says one or more of the Professors in said I ob.eges
I luue died, and society mourns the loss of many
1 medical men in C herle ton, of both parties,” Now
what are the facts? Ist, Not a student goes to
j Charleston to study medicine in the summer, for the
Colleges are only in operation during Hu- winter. 2d.
, Not a regular physician left Charleston during the
i ! recent prevalence of yellow fever in that city, that
• j has been noticed in one of the papers. The accusa
-1 tion against them is the assertion of “ Charity.” 3d.
1 { of all the deaths in Charleston during the summer,
hut one regular physician Is noticed, and that is the
. late Prof. Alexander, and h died not of the yellow

f I Lot “ Charity,” who alo.lt* has made the accusation,
j j declare who these men are. We deny that one
d j regular physician, in health, left his post of duty for

of prescribing for themselves.” f o much for the j

Scott wc know nothing, hut from his melancholy
end, presume lie was a Steamer. The talented and
polite Nardin died either of yellow fever, of his own
treatment, or of both combined: Charity may take
which of the causes he pleases; hut from the hint
furnished by the Mercury, we have drawn our own
inference. It fficult and dangerous indu'd must hr
the lad: rs any Steamer, prescribing tor his own or
any other ease. Any jury enliz I toned by anatomy
and phyj'o’-. woulZ u dor these circumstances,
bring in a v edict of suicide.
In eo elusion, we would in charily, recommend
“Charity” to take more than three days and night;
to write consi-t. nt'y and with truth, when lie takes

SQUASHY GHERKIN.
Saturday Evening, Nov. 3.
From our Correspondent.
Washington, Oct. 30.
The country may prepare to witness one of the
most remarkable political somersets ever performed
by “ the pvu i t” since it came into power. Every
body knows tb t there has as yet boon no real se
paration between Hank and State. Hut soon ‘the
J) vorre" va il he firnialh/ abandoned. You
have seen the circular of the Hay-Master General,
announcing that Government had made arrange
ments with the Bank of the United States, to pay
drafts of the United St iles Treasurer, and the
notes of that bank to he “moue convenient
than specie.” It was designed by the Cabal nt
Washington, that Ibis circular should he secret
among the office-holders ; hut unfortunately a copy
of it fell into the hands of one of that useful corps
of Washington correspondents, and forthwith it
came out to cover the ballled experimenters with
confusion. Its nppe ■ nice has given groat trouble
to the Globe clique. The official journal came
outlast night with a long Jesuitical explanation,
the amount of which stripped of the verbiage
wherein it is buried, and of the uiur v .plihets
characteristic of the kitchen rhetoricians amounts
to this: The Government his been compelled by
its necessities to supplicate the Pennsylvania Bank
of the United Slates, to deposit funds at various
points, where they may lie required, and bus there
fore authorized the Bureaus to instruct thcirsevcrnl
disbursing olliccrs to draw checks on the several
distant hanks in which Mr. BrnniE, lias, in fact,
placed funds for that purpose. Here then is the
Bunk of the United States, the fiscal agent of the
Government! and yet the Globe nfleets to he
mightily indignant, because the Government is
spoken of as having abandoned the altitude it re
cently maintained in relation to Mr. Bmnt.E, and
the Bank ! It is notorious to every body here
that the communication between the departments
and the hank, are now nearly as close and inti
mate as when the National Bank was in existence,
and before the depositea were removed. What
change has taken place in the condition rs the
bank, since the removal of the depositee, on the
ground of alleged insecurity, to make it a more
suitable depository of Government funds, and a
more conven'enl fiscal agent now, than if was
then P Will any heated partisan dare to assert
that the Bank was less fitted to accomplish these
purposes, under a National Charier, than it is un
der tiro Charter given by a State Legislature I
Those arc searching questions; and are calculated
to expose the base, partisan spirit of the warfare
carried on against tire United State Bank, by Gene
ral Jackson, and those of his myrmidons who are
now supplicating tire aid of the institution to re
lieve them from embarrassment and distress.
It is known to the whole country that the supe
riority of specie over bank notes, was a favorite
theme of the Loco Foeos. Now the Globe denies
that it ever m lintaincd any such proposition. Tire
clamor against bank paper has served its purpose.
Some new means of operating on the public mind
will be tried—some new experiment will ho made
on prejudice and partisanship. The country will
see all the doctrines of the administration about
coin, ami paper, and bank credits, and hank agency
abandoned otto by one. The Globe’s editorials will
be a tissue of contradiction of its writings du
ring the last few years. The Cabal will endeavor
to make the people believe that they never were
against the hanks—never said specie was more
convenient than paper—never warred against
credit and confidence. But the messages of their
President, the reports of then - Secretaries, the
speeches of their Senators in Congress and on the
stump, the wi by-washy Cor.! -f Loeo-Foeo liter
ature from th. ..mm.; of the Globe down to
those of the .nuleston Mercury, will rise against
these impudent denials, and when contrasted with
the recent admissionand new professions, exhibit
in a strong light, the infatuation, hypocrisy, and
proved ineompetenry of the men in otuec.
The attitude which Mr. Van Huron has been
compelled to assume towards the United States
Bank, is a triumph of principles, for which the
Whigs and Conservatives have boon contending
against Loeo-Focoism. The Government lias
practically, and by circular, admitted that it cannot
carry on its fiscal operations so conveniently ashy
hunk agency. The sooner Mr. Van Buren makes
up his mind to act uniformly on that admission,
the sooner h» w 11 show more common sense than
he lias ever yet exl it •1.
From the Charleston Mercury, rs yesterday,
Vi v.
Yesterday morning about 1 o’clock, a fire broke
out on the premises . f Messrs. Reynolds, Clark
and Reynolds, Coach makers, Meeting-street, near
the new Theatre.
A wooden building at the back oftheir lot, used
as a lumber depository , was first discovered on (ire.
the wind being fresh me adjoining buildings, also
of wood, soon caught, and communicating with a
row ot sheds or workshops, all were quickly en
veloped in flanii'*.
f The work of destruction wont rapidl on, the
! store house, p..1 shot*. i*v i finishing department,
'’T 'ther with the u.. ..ek range of Blacksmiths
...shops, successively shared the tale of the
resi. At an early stage of the tire, a two and a
’ half story woouen house owned and •cunied b
r Mr. John Stroheekcr, He Ibeck’s-aUey . ...,va
r up, which effectually cheeked the danger in that
i quarter. To our Firemen, too much praise cannot
; Lw awarded. for the untiring activity, skill and per- |
I severance which they exhibited in subduing what '
• threatened to become an extensive conflagration,
: and in saving a largo amount of property, which
I but for extraordinary exertions, would inevitably
I have been destroyed.
The now Theatre, which so narrowly escaped
j the great tire, was again in danger; the touch ot
i fire may l>e seen about the windows, but the dam-
I age is very small.
Messrs. Reynolds, Clark fc Reynolds estimate
their loss in stock, buildings, damaged work, &c.
at {25,000—56,000 of which was insured—and
Mr. Joint Strohecker slates the loss ot his house
blown up at to $lO,OOO, and no insurance.
Those who reside near the premises, confidently
believe that the fire was caused by au incendiary,
as no person slept in the yard, or remained there
after dark, and none ever carried fire near lit" house
where it originated. The police is now institu
ting an examination of the case, and we await
the result.
For the Chronicle if Sentinel.
To the State Slights’ Parly of Georgia.
Accept the congratulation of a zealous sup
porter of your cause on the present triumphant
ascendancy of your principles. After a protrac
ted struggle with the corruption of dishonest office
scokci.s, and the delusion of their blinded and mis
led followers, —patriotism is finally victorious!
The recent election has been acknowledged, it is
said, by a prominent Union man, to have been
“the last effort of an expiring party.” Glory to
heaven—descended liberty—Georgia is redeemed!
It was when Andrew Jackson, issued h;s pro
clamation, so palpably subversive of the principles
which are the basis of our Union—when the
voice of Jefferson was heard from the grave, and
his disturbed spirit stalked in majesty over the
land—that the State Rights’ banner was raised,
and all who loved their country were bidden to
rally under its folds for the protection of its liber
ties. They came—the old and feeble, the young
and vigorous, galhcrcd around the sacred exposi
tion of the constitution which the sage of Monti
ccllo left as a legacy' to the American nation, to
res uo those pages of truth from the unhallowed
gra p of the spoilsmen—but for u while it availed
not.
For ten years previous to that hour of trial
Georgia had been agitated with two questions of
vital importance to Iter prosperity and independence.
A portion of her territory had been long withheld
from her by the tardy justice of the General Jov
ernment; and she was burthen- i with an onerous
and unconstitutional tariff, beneath which her
strength had almost been exhausted. Patiently,
but vainly, had she waited for the removal of the
Cherokces gurantccj by the United States—till
finding further forbearance fruitless, she had thrown
herself upon Iter sovereignty and taken forcible
possession of her land. In like manner, Georgia
had deposited at Washington, the protest of her
Legislature against the iniquitous tarilf, with a
stern expression of her intention not to submit to
northern exaction.
The period had now come when “ the argument
was exhausted”—remonstrance had been unheed
ed—Congress was deaf to our appeals, and sub
servient to the manufacturing interest. The north,
regardless of the justice due to the south, would
not remove, or even lighten the burthens it ha 1
placed upon her, and we had no other prospect but
increased oppression, without resort to the ener
getic action of Slate interposition. It was at this
crish; that generous, high-spirited Carolina came
forward to interpose her sovereignty. Conscious
that she would have the battle to fight alone against
the host which would throng around the hero ol
New Orleans, to trample her under foot, she quail
ed not; resolved to devote herself to the sacrifice
fur the common liberties of the south, with Spartan
fortitude, she boldly threw herself into that Ther
mopylae 1 and where then was Georgia ? She who
had led the way in the determination to be free —
she who had placed upon record her sense ot the
selfish and wicked policy whose cilV't was to tax
the southern consumer heavily, for ti.'c benefit o:
the northern capitalist—she who had evinced such
promptitude in the practice of Nullification as
“the rightful remedy” ou previous occasions— I
alas! she proved, at that most critical point, re
creant to herself-—aye, more dishonorable still, she
broke tier pledged faith to Carolina and the south.
But let not our beloved State bear the infamy—it
it was an act of corrupt demagogues; and on their
heads should the people visit the s;u 1 It is noto
rious that there were at that time in Georgia, a great
number of office-seekers, who had never, till then,
been able to rise into political distinction, and who
have since proved themselves utterly unworthy ol
it. Headed by men of talent and influence,' —ol
whom a portion were unquestionably honest,
though, as we believe, in error, but the greater part
anxious to secure popular favor, anJ regardless ol
the dictates of conscience and patriotism—these j
aspirants saw that they could make hobbies of t.ie I
alfcction for the Union, and the overwhelming per- j
sonal attachment to Andrew Jackson, which had i
till then prevailed in Georgia, and thus vide into
office. Thus it was that ambition, sustained by
popular infatuation, originated that party whose
shibboleth was Union “and Jackson,” and thus
was a majority in the State obtained, on whose
shoulders the office-seekers were borne aloft. There
for a while they rode triumphant.
That was a melancholy chapter in Georgia’s
history. The haughty State which had retu -.on
obedience to the mandates of the Su ircmc Court
* >
which had 'curled back his impotent menaces into
the teeth of President Adams, was now dragged
in chains in the triumphal procession of a despot 1
Where then was her pride 1 With lowered crest,
it was prostrate iu the dust of sycophancy. And j
her glories—whither had they fiedl They had I
vanished in incense, altered to the nostrils of on j
arbitrary, tyrannic old man.
It was a melancholy chapter, too, in American
history. There was then idolatry every whtre in
the land. The rude soldier who was dignified by 1
a venerable university with the highest honors of
scholarship—the rash experimentalist, who was !
landed to the skies us the profound statesman— I
! and toast"! as -the facsimile of the ruck of j
ages," — what was he less than an idoi 5 What I
was he but a Juggernaut, beneath whose crushing
i car the man-worshippers, in the spirit of Hindoo j
1 immolation, threw their liberties, that sacred birth- !
j of their children, and shouted, as the pon- j
i derous temple of the destroyer roiled <»». “plorv to I
' Ja-'kson!”
-J
I But, thank heaven, tiic poopie have occn enngu
! tened. That party, which under the garb of love
1 for the Union, had driven the upright and the
i gifted from the councils of the State, legislated for
i their own interest exclusively, and divided among
! themselves the treasures of the people, is extinct.
| The foul tongue of slander, whose venom had
j been spit upon the purest ol heart in the land, has
j been silenced —and they, who in a free country,
t persecuted, aye, ostracised all wno presumed to
differ from them in opinion, will soon shrink back
into their primitive obs. urity, under the withering
scowl of popular indignation.
My object in stating thus forcibly the real cha
racter of that party which his now for five years
ridden rough-shod over Georgia, has been —not to
harrow its conscience by a faithful picture of their
iniquities, for it never had one—not to triumpa
over a fallen foe—but that you may he led, by a
brief review of our political condition during the
Union domination, and by a consideration of the
active, insidious nature of the opposition, to be on
your guard—to lie ever vigilant. It ou have to
contend with wily, and unprincipled antagonists—
sec to it that they circumvent you not. Have
you yet to learn that their principles arc those me
taphorically represented by the five loaves and
seven fishes 1 and consequently of that equally
contractile and expansive nature which can adapt
itself to all emergencies 1 Has not inconsistency
always characterized their conduct ? i hey have
placed Georgia in a hypocritical attitude, and ex
posed her to the contempt of the world as incon
stant and double-faced. While with one breatli
they bitterly denounced “Carolina,” with the next
they stoutly defended “Georgia” nullification. The
man, who, on his assumption of the gubernatorial
chair, descended to vulgar villificalion of nulli
fiers, and slandered us in a manner most abhor
rent to an American citizen, for our adherence to
the doctrines of Jefferson, had the hypocrisy after
this to recommend to the legislature to disregard
the mandate of the Supreme Court, and to resist
its execution with force.
Rest assured that the present is not the season for
repose—you must be on the alert. The immediate
danger to be apprehended will approach in this
form, The supremacy of the Stale Rights’ party
1 being now permanently established in Georgia,
your adversaries will drop their war cry “down
with the Nullics” —they will lower the black ban
ner of persecution—they will cease to designate
themselves as “Union men”—but they will not
relax, but will rather redouble their efforts to break
us down. Their object will he to throw the gol-'
den apple of discord among us—to excite dissen
tion—to dismember us on the Sub Treasury ques
tion, and tempt as many of our members as they
can to fall into their ranks. This is the only
chance they have to re-instatc tlirm elves in au
thoriy, and they will make the best of it.
Shall wc suffer ourselves to he deluded ? State
Rights’men! ye have nobly done your duty. Ye
have struggled manfully to sustain the liberties of
the country against Executive and Congressional
usurpation—willyc now, for the attainment of a
minor end, desert those principles whuh arc the on
ly safeguard of our republican institutions, and the
peculiar security of the South 1 I trust not. But
is it not evident that if there be a portion of ous
number favourably disposed to the Sub-Treasury
scheme, and they allow themselves to be drawn
into an amalgamation with the Union party, under
the appellation of Sub-Treasury men, that our sa
cred principles will be again uud-r the foot of that
hideous rnonst r, consolidation, —and thatour State
will again become a prey to the Harpies? Their
instrumentality, tho’ innocent will have betrayed
their stanch allies—the Union men will arrogate to
themselves the Lion's share in tho Govern neat, and
wc shall be a second time delivered over bound
hand and fool to that rapacious horde.
If there be any among our number who arc incli
ned to consider tho Sub-Treasu y question as o
an importance paramount to all others, let me be
j seech them to pause and consider. I would not
wish them to understand me to imply that this
question is an insignificant one—far otherwise.
I But when it is claimed, in tho present cant ol
South Carolina, as -the great measure of deliver
ancc and liber!/,” I frankly acknowledge that I
deem this claim one of the popular humbugs which
characterize the present administration. Never
theless, allowing the Sub Treasury project to be
the best scheme ever devised for the regulation ol
the currency—weigh then its importance with
that of those great principles in the defence of which
we organ zed ourselves—and which will preponder
| ate? You cann at hesitate in tho decision. Burc-
I ly no one can suppose that the occasion has passed
j away which required us to uphold the Virginia
and Kentucky Resolutions. If there be such u
j one, he is grievously mistaken. For the last quar
ter of a century there has been a gradual encroach
ment by the General Government cn u. reserved
rights ol the States. The IjatiUiJ.naaans have un
dermined the bulwarks of the constitution one by
one, and the pro. lamation, thatthin.g of abomination
sustained by the odious Force Bill, stand monu
ments ol'Exe, ul.'. o and Congressional usurpation.
Has the patriot any reason to hope tiiat this insidi
ous march of despo. in and consolidation into the
I very citadel of our liberties has been checked in its
progress? No. If there were no other cloud on
I our horizon but the Fanaticism of Abolition, you
would have sufficient cause to be ever watcluul,
and prepared for action, when ver the storm may
hurst, through a well e, ..adzed party at the helm
of Blato.
Bland then by your Palladium, State Rights’
j men! The preservation of your principles is ia-
S dispensable to the salvation of your country—and
while there is ° f without, we mast gu uJ the sn
ared treasure. While our Union exists, our sole i
! security in political commotion, our strongest pro
| tcction against the current of federal legislation, is
i the right of State-interposition—that is the sheet
anchor of our liberties. Desert not y jur principles,
j your permanent safe-gin d for a temporary policy,
iat best of doubtful expediency—you must choose
between your fundamental doctrines, and the Sub
• Treasury—there is no alternative. If but a small
i oortion of our number identify themselves with the
L uion party in support of that vexed question, they
will then ally themselves with the Administration,
■ and become eu-workers with those who have prc“
v%\ \v
vcn iocs To thfprospcWly mgr our common countr?
—foes to the constitution—foes !o liberty, and foe*
to national integrity !
Hut perhaps (his appeal to your patriotism is un
necessary. I trust sanguinely that it is. You
clung manfully to your principles at the recent
election, and the result was glorious—glorious, be
cause the triumph ofaflection for your &'«/<■. Fal
ter not, then at any future period, if you love your
country. Hearken not to the crafty persuasions of
your adversaries—their solo object, remember, is
again to rise—and if they succeed, it will be upon
our ruin, and upon the prostrate constitution. Then
will a suicidal arm have struck our death-blow !
State Rights’ Legislators ! You have the desti
nies of Georgia in your hands—equally whether
you arc in the majority or minority. There is rea
son to fear that your fidelity will be sorely tested at
this session. It is through you that the great effort
will be made to dismember our party. Listen not
to the voice of the charmer—be faithful to your
constituents—be faithful to Georgia! Forget not
that unanimity is the strength of our patriot band
—that on your prudence and moderation is now
dependent the permanence of State Rights’ princi"
pies, and the welfare of Georgia—and may Hea
ven grant wisdom to your councils.

Dear S ; r .- —You are aware that considerable
speculation existed and much anxiety was mani
fested not only here but. throughout the Union as
to the result of the election in this State for mem
bers of Congress. Garrett D. Wall, aU. S. Sen
ator, made a (laming speech in favor of the locofo
. cos. He was rq lied to by Mr. Southard, in a calm
and dignified manner. The Governor and Privy
Council met this afternoon at the Governor’s Room.
On counting the votes, the following was announced
> as the official result. This is a glorious triumph.
. Our little State has done nobly.

Tnounr.E in Can-aba.—Wc learn, by private
advices from Toronto that the city is at present the
scene of a greater excitement than has been witnes
sed since last winter. All business is suspended—
-1 he Governor has issued a proclamation, calling up
on the loyalists to arm for the defence of the coun
try and the greatest alarm seems to prevail.
V\ c do not know what has led to this new corn
met on ; whether the stories that have been circu
lated in the province of the combination on this
sale havealarmed them; or whether there is. in
deed. well grounded apprehension of a serious re
volt on the oilier.

tainty.

and the regulars about some point of Itonor or pre
