Tiik Tariff. —Tne Pittsburg Aurora, a loco
foco paper, denies with a vast deal of indigna
tion that Judge Wilkins, the locofoco candidate
for that district, is opposed to a protective tariff',
and as evidence that Judge W. and his party are
highly favorable to the protective .policy, quotes
the following passage from the democratic ad
dress recently iswed there- That document
says:
That the tarifffor revenue, discriminating in
favor of domestic. labor, is the enmer stone of our
prosperity, the point around which, if wise, tne shall
rally our strength., is a fact 100 oi/Cions to require
any illustration of out's. That we should allot
to its support the most eminent talent that our
district can boast, will, we suppose, strike every
one who is anxious to sustain this germ of our
wealth, this support of our manufactures, this
sure basis of the agriculture and labor of the coun
try.
To what source shall we look for all that we
require in aid of this great conservative princi
ple, ifit cannot be found in William Wilkins,
our candidate for Congress ! It is unnecessary
to advert to a capability, tact, talent, information
shown in the public service,to which no parallel
can be produced by our opponents. But we may
safely ask, who stands committed upon this great
question, if Mr. Wilkins does not'!
The Health Reports.—The Motile Herald
of the Ist inst. says:—For the last few days,
these reports do not seem to indicate an increase
of sickness—but we have good reason to suppose
that all the cases are not handed in to the Secre
tary —as it is said to be a fact that some of our
physicians really have not time to make out the
list of cases, owing to the constant calls made
upon them by the sick, and by being ab
sent in the country—as is the case with many of
them—attending their patients at the hour up to
which their reports are made.
Louisville, Kr.—The Louisville Journal
says, the business ol that city is unusually ex
tensive, and that it promises to be larger than
that of 1836. Thanks to Whig protection to
home industry, which makes a market for agri
cultural products and furnishes the country with
the ability to purchase.
J-fThc assessed value of real estate in the
city of New York the present year, is 51G1,950,-
514 85, shewing a decrease since the assess
mentot 1842, ot $11,561,827 15. The assessed
value of personal estate this year is $63,046,575
73, shewing an increase in favor of the current
year, compared with the assessed value of per
sonal property last year, of $2,752,016 73.
The estimate of taxes for the city and county
of New York for the present year is $1,805,136
39.
A portion of the Loco Foco parly in the Firs t
Congressional District of Ohio have nominated
Ezekiel S. Haines’ Esq. ol Cincinnati, in oppo- j
sition to Dr. Duncan. The Whigs have not ■
nominated a candidate in this district. 1

Tartar on the Teeth.—A singular paper
was lately read before the French Academy of '
Sciences, from M. Mandi, entitled ‘’Microsco
pic investigations as to the nature of the tartar
and mucous coverings of the tongue and teeth.’
If we are to believe M. Mandi’s microscope, the
human mouth is a perlect cemetery, where mil
lions ot infusoria find their catacombs. Leu
venkouk had already told us that the human :
J i
mouth was peopled withinfusory animals, and ■
that the mucous secretion of its surface served i
as their ocean; but it remained for M. Mandi '
to discover that the tartar which covers the teeth ,
is formed of the mountains ol the dead ol these i
inhabitants ot this ocean. M. Mandi knows not !
to what cause to attribute these microscopic ani
mals, but he has ascertained, that they are most
numerous in persons who live on spare diet, and
that they are instantly killed by ardent spirits. 1

Pathcism—Most Extraordinary Phenom- "
The deep and general impression which the
lectures of Rev. L.a Roy Sunderland have, evi
dently, made upon the minds of many of the
most intelligent citizens, induces us to believe
that a somewhat more minuet account of a tew
of his experiments would be acceptable to our
numerous readers; and especially to those who
have nut had the privilege of witnessing his
method of inducing some of the most extraordi
nary mental phenomena, such as SbainaniMisiu,
Monomania, Second Sight, Teana, Dreaming,
Fascination, and me excitement of every passion,
emotion, or feeling, of which the human mind
is susceptible.
It is, certainly, no small compliment to the
lecturer, that no place in this city was scarcely
large enough to hold the crowds who pressed to
witness the wonderful developements of mind,
which he seems to unfold with such astonishing
facility. And, we have before borne testimony
to his urbanity and candor, displayed in his
manner of answering all questions put to him
respecting the mysteries ot nis theory.
From our preceding account of that agency
which -Mr. Sunderland denominates Palheism,
or physical sympathy, it will have been seen that
he rejects, in toto, all the notions heretofore pre
valent, as to the reality of the elemination ot any
fluid, nervous or electrical, from the operator
nt o his subject. And we believenota ‘mestner
er ’ or ‘neurologist’ has witnessed .Mr. Sunder
nl ’s method of operating, but who has asrreed
with him, at once, that whatever the agency is,
it is nut, and cannot be, a magnetic or' nervous
fluid.
Unlike all other operators, Mr. S. instead oi
selecting one subject, brings his progress to bear
upon n.is entire auM.nceX And,consequently, the
results of his experiments performed m this wav
have astonished and generally satisfied all who
have witnessed them. His audience last Mon
day evening, at the city ball, were about a thou
sand, all of them slrangets to him. tn com
mencing, he informed us, that during his lecture
he designed to induce a number oi cases of real
somnambulism; that is, he would cause those
in the assembly who were susceptible to fall into
a state ofsyz»p«tA<;//c sleep, and in that state, to
rise from their scats and come to him upon the plat
form! And after fixing the attention of the au
dience tor this purpose a few minutes, some
fifteen persons (including both sexes) were
found to be sound asleep. And now occurred a
most extraordinary sight: it was to see one and
another rise from their seats with eyes fast clos
ed, and slowly approach the platform on which
the operator was standing! Some of them seem
ing to be unable or unwilling to rise up and
walk. Mr. S. went to them, and they then fol
lowed him to his place, and went up from the
extreme part of the hall. Room could not be
found lor them all upon the platform, and they
were tailing to sleep in snch numbers, that he
could not take care of them! Hence, the process
was suspended, and Mr. 8. went round thio’ the
assembly and restored those to wakelulness who
had not taken seats upon the platform; and we
have been credibly informed, that some 20 or3o
other gentlemen and ladies were decidedly affect
ed and disposed to somnolence, rigidity of limbs,
&c. by M". S.’s method of operating on thaf oc
casion.
Numerous and interesting phenomena were
induced by the operator from the somnambulists
around him upon the platform. One was thrown
into a state of trance, oreestacy, and was en
raptured with views of the Saviour, and her de
ceased friends. She sung in tones, and in a
manner which convinced many at least, that
the phenomena were real. And they were
brought on without any of the manipulations ot
mesmerisets orneurologists, thus demonstrating,
that the notions about the transmission ot a ner
vous fluid, have been altogether unibunded.
Our readers are aware that the usual process
of inducing sleep, has been to sit before the pa
tient, staring him in the face, or to place the tips
of the fingers according to Dr. Buchanan, upon
the head, for the communication of the “netiraw
ra" it is said And when the manipulatorshave,
tn this way, induced sleep, or excited the cerebal
organs of one or two persons, whom they have
previously trained tor the purpose, they have
been thought to have done wonders. But, it is
certain, that Mr. Sunderland’sexperimentsmust
annihilate these silly practices. His theory is
the only rational one we have ever heard, and
when we see one taking hold on this subject as
this gentleman has done,workingout his assump
tions, and demonstrating the laws by which he
operates, and doing this upon fifteen or fifty per
sons, at a time, without contact, and, even with
out ever having seen them, no room is left to
doubt, as to the revolution which he seems des
tined to bring about in the views which have,
heretofore, obtained on this subject.
We have stated, that all the phenomena,
usually produced by the mesmerisets and neuro
logists, by manipulation, Mr. Sunderland indu
ces without contact, or the use of any electrical
or nervous fluid. He even induces the state
called second sight, in persons wideawake, and
gives a most satisfactory explanation of witch
craft and ghosts which Lave so much perplexed
the minds oi pious and even intelligent people.
To the investigation ol these subjects he has de
voted a series of years, and we agree with our
neighbor of the Patriot, that he has certainly
done more to enlighten our citizens on lhe in
teresting phenomena above referred to, than all
who have preceded him, and as far as we know,
either in this, or any other country.
yirThe friends of Free Trade, in this country,
could not pursue a course more in accordance
with lhe wishes of Great Britain, than to light
against our existing Tariff. Their clamors up
on the subject fall charmingly on British eats.
When the hot-heade.l theorizers of this country
cry out, let us repeal the Tariff—the Tory capi
talists of Europe, the monopolists who strive to
make England the manufactory ofthe world,
answer in a voice louder still, by all means re
peal tlie Tariff. It is an ouious measure, op
pressive to the masses—repeal heblaik Tariff.
Thus do our Fiee Trade men court an alliance
with the haughty domineering aristocracy of the
old world, who strive to rule me nations, and dic
tate the la ws of trade and commerce, to every
people with whom they have intercourse. No
thing could more delight the English brow
beating, bullying Toryism, than the doctrines
and theories of American Anti-tariffiles. They
Can demonstrate to their own satisfaction,
not to ours, that any restrictions upon the trade
ol this country, by Protective duties, are hostile
to the interests of this people. How coidial and
loving must be the harmony beta een them, and
the very party in this country, who are fearful
lest the shadow of English power should fall up
on our prosperity, and are constantly ringing
changes against any influence here from British
gold, and British insolence. But go on, gentle
men Free Traders. Urge a repeal of ti e Tariff.
Throw open our ports tothegrasping, clutching,
avaricious arm of England. When they say
the Tariff is an injury to America, —reply in
humble obsequiousness,oh to be sure, very great
injury,—and so court them along to force upon
us, any kind of trade, on their own terms, —as
humiliating to us, as the terms on which they
enforce their trade upon the Chinese.— Hartford

Extent of the United States.—The Na
tional Intelligencer contains a long communica
tion from Air. Darby, on the extent and popula
tion of the United States; which embraces sta
tistics very valuable to the Statesman. The
Unite-.l Stateshave an Atlantic and Gulf coast
of 2,900 miles, a Texian and Alexican Western
and Southern frontier of 2,200, a Pacific of 500,
a Russian Northern frontier ol 600 and a British
one of 3,000 —having an outline 9,300 miles, and
2,250,000 square miles.—The whole territory is
naturally divided into three divisons, viz: the
Eastern or Atlantic Slope, the Centre or Missis
sippi Valley, and the Western or Pacific region.
Tlie Eastern section contains 296,500 square
miles, and a mean breadth of 170. The organ
ized Centre or Alississippi region has 731,466
square miles—a total ot’organized square miles
of 1,0.34,466. The unorganized portion of the
Centre contains 560,000 square miles, lying
Westward ol Arkansas, Alissouri, lowa'and
Wisconsin and eastward of the Rocky Moun
tains.—The total erea ot the Central valley sec
tion is 1,294,466 square miles. The Pacific di
vision containss6o,ooosquare miles. Total un
organized region 1,120,000 square miles. —And
a territory of 1.851,166 square miles exclusive
ot Atlantic slope. The total territory of the
United States is, according to these estimates of
the respective divisions, 2,154,146 square miles.
He estimated that the United States comprise
one-fourteenth part of the really inhabitable
globe. The United States stands in relation
to Europe as two to three.—Europe containing
about 3,000,000 square miles. Air. Darby gives
several valuable tables showing tlie increase of
population for the last fifty years, and estimates
to show what will continue to be the rate of in
crease. He puts down the population in 1890,
fifty years from 1840, at 74,149.986 —notquite an
average of 3.3 to the square mile. Indians ol
course not taken into the calculation. The ar
ticle from which the above facts are derived is
valuable as showing the real extent ofthe United
States, and the rate of increase of population.
gj’A tnan without money is a body without
a soul—a walking Death—a spectre that fright
ens every one! His countenance is sorrowful
and his conversation languishing and tedious.
If he call upon an acquaintance, he never finds
him at home, and if he open bis mouth to speak
he is interrupted every moment, so that he may
not have a chance to finish his discourse, which
it is feared will end with his asking for money.
He is avoided like a person infected with dis
ease, and is regarded as an incumbrance to the
earth. Want wakeshim up in the morning,and
.Misery accompanies him to his bed at night.—
The ladies, too, discover that he is an awkward
booby; landlords believe that he lives on air;
and it he wants anything from n tradesman, he
is asked for the cash before delivery.
Ms. AVebsteu.—The Mew Bedford Bulletin
says that it understands from good authority that
Hon. Daniel Webster will address the Whigs
of Plymouth, Mavs, at their approaching Coun
ty Convention. It adds that Mr Webster has
explicitly declared that if his services were at all
desirable in the coming State campaign, they
might at any time and in any way be command
ed. If this be true, and we have no doubt it is,
we have a tolerably decisive indication of the
quarter to which he intends to ‘go.’ His Ro
chester speech, so tar as it related tt; politics at
all, was filled with sound Whig doctrine and
will be responded to by the friends of the Ameri
can Tariff throughout' the country. — Tribe n
Boston Bank Dividents.—The Boston Banks
have declared semi-annual dividends, ranging
from two to four per cent. The amount to be
divided is $117,C00, on a capital of §17,110,000
The Traders made no dividend.

,j The last new freak of Tylerism is a case not

i hnn in lhe Post Office al that place,from whence
j he was removed a few weeks since. The new

John Randolph of R oanoke.
The following extract will be found int'rest- -
ing, as exhibiting one of Mr. Randolph’s pecu- .
liar characteristics. (
Belbre my arrival in London, Lord I. ,
meeting Randolph one night under the gallery |
of the House ot Commons, introduced himself 1
to him, and they became very intimate. His <
lordship said to'me one day afterwards, (
“I have never met with so thoroughly well
informed a gentleman as your friend llautlolpli. ‘
No matter what the subject—history, bei.e let- 1
ties, biography; but, sir, the most astonishing cf <
all is, that he possesses a minute, iocal know-
ledge of England and Ireland. I thought, that
I knew them well, but I assure you 1 was oblig
ed to yield the palm to him. I have purposely
tried to puzzle or confuse him, but all in vain.
His conversational powers are most dazzling,
even in London, sir, where we pride ourselves
on good talkers. 1 never have been so much
struck with any stranger, and although a high
tory, 1 always forgot that ha was a republican.
By the way. not a very bigoted one, sir; I never
heard him abuse the aristocracy! I was so much
pleased with him, on our very first interview,
1 determined to pay him a 'mark of respect,
which I was sure would gratify his Virginia
pride. I solicited permission from the Lord
Chancellor to introduce Air. Randolph, as a dis
tinguished American, into the House of Lords
by the priratc entrance near the throne, instead
of obliging him to force his way, with the
crowd, at the common entrance. ’ Having ob
tained his lordship’s consent, I then introduced
Mr. Randolph to the door-keeper, anti desired
him to admit him whenever he presented him
self, without requiring him to exhibit any spe
cial order. His figure and whole appearance
are so singular, I ran no risk in having any
counterfeit Randolphs— and I said so to the door
keeper as some excuse for omitting onr usua 1
practice. When 1 told him of his privilege, I
saw at once 1 had won my way to his heart; and
amply has he repaid me, sir, by the richness oI
his conversation whenever we have since
met.”
A few days after my arrival in London, I
had an opportunity of testing the value of this
privilege oi private entry. It will he recollect
ed that George Canning, in tlie year 1822, just
previous to his intended departure as Governor
General of India, (which never took place, ow
ing to Lord Castlereagh's death,) introduced,
and carried through the House of Commons,
lhe “Roman Catholic s peers bill”, as it was
called, which he intended as a farewelllegacy to
his countrymen. It passed by a handsome ma
jority, and" was then sent to undergo the fiery
ordeal of lhe House of Lords. The subject en
grossed public attention, and there was great
anxiety to attend the debate on the appointed
night. The Alarquis of L was kind enough
to present me with an order to admit tiro per
sons—myself and friend—and I returned to out
lodgings in great glee. There 1 found Ran
dolph, told him of my good luck, and offered
him the unoccupied half of my order.
“Pray, sir,” said he “at wliich door do ymi in
tend to enter lhe house?”
‘At the lower door of course,” replied I, “where
all strangers enter.”
“Not at! strangers, if you please,” said he, “lor
I shall en'er at the private door, near the throne!”
“Oh, my dear sir,” replied 1, “your privilege,
I dare say, will answer on any common occa
sion; but to-night the members of the house of '
commons will entirely fill the space around the
throne, and no stianger, depend upon it, will be
admitted there. So be wise, and don’t refuse
this chance, or you will regret it!”
“What, sir,’' retorted he, “do you suppose ii
would consent to struggle with and push through |
the crowd of persons who, for two long hours, i
must force their way in at the tourer door? Oh j
no, sir! 1 shall do no such thing, and if 1 cannot |
enter as a gentleman cominmicr, 1 go not at all I” I
After vainly endeavoring to induce him to I
change his mind, we separated— he ibr the aris- j
tocratic entrance and 1 for the common one.— l
With great difficulty, and wondering how I had j
preserved my coat tails whole, 1 finally squeez- |
ed myself into the house, half suffocated, and ;
was fortunate enough, (being then young and!
active,) to secure a stand at the bar, from whence
1 could see my noble lord’s lace, and hear every i
word that was sixtken. Casting a glance to- I
wards the throne won after my entrance, to inv i
no small surprise and envy 1 beheld “Randolph i
of Roanoke” in all his glory, walking in must I
leisurely, an.l perfectly at home, alongside of |
Canning, Loid Castlcreagh, Sir Robert Peel and i
many other distinguished members oi lhe hott ie i
of commons. Some of these gentlemen even I
selected tor him a prominent position, where he j
could sec and hear perfectly, and I observer I
many courtesies passing between them ditrin- I
the night.

1 Victory! Victory!!
All hail Georgia 1 Locofocoisui routed,
horse, foot and dragoons! A Whig Go
’ vernor, two Members of Congress, and
both branches of the Legislature Whig,
' by triumphant Majorities.
As we anticipated a few days since, we have
now the unalloyed pleasure of announcing a
most glorious triumph ot the Whigs of Geor
gia. They have routed Locotocoism through
out the length and breadth of the State. From
the seaboard to trie mountains, the returns pro
claim the triumph of the Whig cause—the elec
tion of a Whig Governor, two Whig members
of Congress, and majorities in both branches of
the Legislature—the first Legislature under the
amended Constitution, which prescribes bien
nialsessions. It is, therefore, a most importan 1
victory, and one involving, in an eminent de
gree, the tire highest interests ot the State, both
in its local and national relations.
Gratifying as is this triumph to us when we
regard it for its influences upon our local af
fairs, it dwindles into comparative insignificance
when associated with our national politics. It
is not lhe mere triumph of a political party
in a State based upon local questions, hut it is
the triumph otf principles—of Whigprificiptes—'
of the principles of the great Whig party of the
' Union—it is the triumph of a National Bank,
and the advocatesofa sound currency—aTarifi
I for revenue over direct taxation and the Locofoco
| humbug of “free trade, 1 ' — a distribution of the
public lands—and, above all, it is a triumph
which proclaims to the wotM, trumpet-tongued,
in terms which admit of ncr ambiguity, that
Georgia has unfurled her banner to the breeze
with the name of HENRY CLAY, “the Far
mer of Ashland—the unrivalled Statesman
| and Orator,” inscribed upon its folds. It is
thus that we must contemplate this great tri
umph of the Whigs of Georgia, to appreciate its
importance in all its bearings upon the great
questions ot the day. •
We glory in it also, because it has afforded
the Whigs of Georgia an opportuni y to wipe
off’ the foul insinuation which had been cast up
on the fair fame of their State, that she would
attach herself to the car of Calhoun; and most
nobly have they vindicated her
Henceforth, therefore, Van Burenism, Calhoun
ism and Locofocoism, under whatever leader,
in Georgia is prostrate, and we now enter Geor
gia in the great contest of 1844, for the National
Whig Banner.
In a contest v.rhere all have performed so no
bly the high dut y which devolved upon them, it |
would be invidious to make distinctions; and
while Ave omit to bestow particular praise upon
any particular section or count)’, we trust we
may be permitte.i, in the name of the Whig par
ty of Georgia, and in behalf of lhe great prin
ciples tor which they are contending, (among
which stands prominent and pre-eminent a Na
tional Bank,) to give to the true-hearted, noble
sons of the Cherokee country, the right hand of
Whig fellowship, .-and greet them most cordi
ally as members o f the great Whig family of
the nation.
It is impossible to estimate our majority, so
unrivalled is the p< ipularify of our cause and
our principles. Foi ■ Governor and members of
Congress, it is cert; in, however, that we have
elected both by a majority of thousands, and
have a majority in lhe Legislature of 40 to 60
on joint ballot.

Tennessee, when its t uetnbers no.doubt duly en

regarded by the citizen.s of the State as one of

33plt is a fact, says the Lynchburg Virginian
which deserves to be no fed, that the first protec
tive duty ever imposed by our Government was
in favor ol raw cotton, for the especial benefit of
South Carolina. That duty is three cents per
pound, or, on an average. forty pet cent., and it
operates to the prohibits in of the foreign produc
tion from our ports. R« peal il, and the cotton op
South America, and p< rhaps of India, would
compete with the home production in our own
markets.

American CarpclUs.
The great advances, in every ijranch of man
ufacture, shows what American ingenuity can
do whenever it has a tail' chance. It was bold
ly said in the British Parliament a few years
ago, that we could not compete with low priced
loreign lltbor, and the superabundance of for
eign capital; but under the action of our present
Tariff we have already convinced foreign states
men, that we can successtu ly compete with any
nation, whatever may be its moneyed power, or
lhe price of wages.
The prog l , ess we have made, in the manufac
ture of Carpeting, may be cited m one, among
many proofs of the correctness ofthese remarks.
Hcretolbre we have obtained our supply of this
article from abroad. Al -w j veag it was
difficult, indeed, to obtain an aitilfleot this kind
of American make, which was tfortli much tor
its texture or lor wear. But now our manufac
turers are articles
spect, it not superior to the B.usselsor Wilton’s,
and what is more, they are to be obtained near
ly at fifty per cent, cheaperthati Shey were for
merlv sold. And such let us remark, is the
invariable result of the Tariff inall branches of
industry: while it upholdsourownmanulaelui'e,
it enables the consumer to obtain them at lower
rates!
When we saw the statement made some time
ago in lhe Portland Advertiser, that the Ameri
can article teas superior, as wel. as cheaper, to
the foreign, we leared that the statement was
rather too strong; but understanding that some
specimens of the Eastern nialulacliires were to
be seen at Wentworth & Brothers, Main st., ive
called tn and examined themi jnl the result is.
that we stand ready, so ii.r rwJU.iidgmenl may
be worth any ’Ring, to cor t jtemcat
j-w Our home' work is stronger 1« taake, as beau
tiful in figure, and cheaper! And who, both as
regards this, and all other branches of industry,
will not rejoice at such results'! They are a
common benefit to all. For, wherever, we can
secure them, we create an increased demand for
home labor; more actively employed American
capital; spend our spare cash at home, and for
the support of our own independence.
And this is the consequence of a good Tariff!
We see not, therefore, how, with such tacts sta
ring us in the face, any body of Americans can
seek to destroy it.
Gunpowder the Destroyer of the Military
Power of the Nobility.
It would have been in vain that lhe influence of
religion withered the bands of slavery, and the
extension of knowledge enlarged the capacity of
freemen, had no change occurred in the arms by
which the different classes of society combat
each other. While lhe aristocracy ol the coun
try were permanently trained to combats, and the
robber chivalry were incessantly occupied in
devastation, the peaceable inhabitants c f cities,
the rude laborers of the fields, were unable to re
sist their attacks. With the exception of the
shepherds of the Alps, whose hardy habits early
gave their infantry the firmness and discipline of
veteran soldiers, the tumultuary levies of people
were every where crushed by the steel-clad
bands of the feudal nobility. The insurrections
of the Commons in France, of the peasants in
the time of Richard If, in England, of the citi
zens of Ghent and Liege, in Flanders, and of the
serfs of Germany, were all suppressed by thesu
peri”f arms and steadier discipline of the rural
chivalry.—But with tlie discovery ot Gunpow
der, this decisive supremacy was destroyed; the
feudal array, invincible to the spears or hal
berds of the peasantry, yielded to the terrible
powerofartillery; defensive armor was aban
doned, from a sense of its insufficiency against
these terrible assailants; and the weight of the
aristocracy was destroyed, bj’ the experienced
inability ofits forces to combat the discipline
which laborious industry could bring into lhe
field. The wealth of Flanders in vain contend
ed with the lances of France, on the field oi
Resebecque; but the armies of Charles V. were
baffled by the artillery of the United Provinces.
The barons of Richard easily dispersed the rab
ble who followed the standard of Wat Tyler,
but the fire of the English yeomanry overcame
the squadrons of the Not man nobility at Mar
ston Moor. Fire arms are the greatest of all
levellers; like lhehand otdeath, they prostrate
equally the ranks of the poor, and the array of
princes. Wealth soon became essential to the
prosecution of war, from the costly implemen's
that were brought into the field ; industry indis
pensable to success, from the rapid consump
lion ol the instruments of destruction, which
attended the continuance of the contest. By
this momentous change, new elements were
brought into action, which completely altered
the relative siiuaUqn '■omemlini parties;
industry ceased to be because if
could purchase the means ol protection; vio
lence lost its ascendency, because it withered the
sinews by which it was maintained.— Alison.
A Good Story.—A capital story is told of
Judge Tappan, Senator in Congress, who is
unfortunately cross-eyed. A number of years
ago he was judge of a newly organised county
court in the eastern part of Ohio.
In those days ot primitive simplicity, or per
haps poverty, the bar-room of a tavern was used
as a court-room and the stable as a jail. One .
dav during the session of the court, the Judge
had occasion to severely reprimand two ol the
lawyers, who were wrangling. An odd looking
old customer, who sat in one corner listening,
apparently with great satisfaction, to the re
proof, and presuming on old acquaintance and
the Judge’s well known good humor, sung out,
“ Give it to 'em, old gimblet eyes !” “ Who
was that?” inquired the Judge. “It was this
'ere old hoss,” answered the chap, laising him
self up. “ Sheriff,” observed the Judge with
great gravity, “ take that old hoss and put him
in the stable I”

A Militia Muster Down East.

the great Maine Muster.
the “catting.”
Presently in a voice like a volcano, the com
mand was given to open the right and left oblique
quick, straight, march!” As the tall form of the
gallant commander emerged irom among the
tiles, a low suppressed murmur of eager expec
tation ran thro’ the crowd. He then frowned on
the bystanders, brandished his sword, anti with a
fietce look which would havedone honorto Mars
himself, ordered the company to wheel and form
a line in iront of a fence—a manomvre, which
ihough uncommonly arduous, was nevertheless
executed with wonderful skill and precision.
This fence, which stretched along the north side
ofthe field, was, as we remarked ot all, thickly
covered with girls. The leather countenance of
the gallant captain glowed with conscious pride,
as he saw all eyes fixed on himself; —he drew
lumsell up to liis lull height, adjusted bis dean
shirt-collar and plume, took three long strides
before the company, then gracefully waved his
huge cut amt thrust sword to the band, which in

group of statuary, ordered a few years
ago by Congress for the eastern front of the
Capitol at Washington, the execution of which
was entrusted to Mr. Persico, of Naples, has
lately been completed, and is now ready' for
transmission to this country. A correspondent
of the National Intelligencer describes itthus:
He lias selected for his subject the landing of
Columbus. The great navigator is supposed to j
have just touched the shore. His person is !
loftvand imposing; his countenance has the i
impress, of Nature's nobility. The visage is |
modelled with much width, and the forehead !
has great capacity. He stands, his helmet re- j
moved and placed on a rock by his side, his I
sheathed sword cast upon the earth, and with
his right hand raised he presents a globe. His
left rests, with the back turned, upon his hip,
the arm being a-kimbow. The right toot is ad
vanced and firmly placed upon the soil, whilst
the left, as in the act of walking, scarcely touch
es the earth. His costume is that of a Spanish
cavalier of the fifteenth century, with cuirass
and armlets, a falling mantle on his shoulders, i
full breeches to the knee, and thin silk stockings j
so fitted to the leg that it is neatly as visible as if |
naked. Near him stands a lovely Indian wo
man. who seems to have been reposing upon
tlm earth when startled by this astounding ap
parition. She has just sprung up, and now she
stands in the attitude to fly, yet she turns her
head, andregards with a curious and fixed gaze
the new comer.
The countenance is truly Indian. He who
seeks here the regular features of Grecian art
will be disappoint o'. Phidias never conceived
of such a luce. The cheek bones are promi
nent. Ihe eyes are deeply -cl, the lorehead low,
the chin rounded; yet ueitherof these character
istics is extreme, it i- a face .-trikine and beau
tiful in its kind.
In the eager and concentrated gaze with which
she looks upon the wonderful visiter there isan
expression of sternness and profound astonish- i
went. There is also in the attitude something ;
which suggests the stealthy and ali-tcst.serpent
like movement of the Indian race. The slight ■
drapery with which she was covered seems, in
the hurry in which she has sprung up, to have
slipped down from its place, discovering to the
view the lovely person ol this maiden of lhe for
| est. Al the same time it has so fallen that mo
-1 dcsty is not shocked, and its ends, reaching the
I earth, form an ingenious and beautiful support
to the statue. Iflhe visage is not Modelled ac
cording to the rules of Grecian art, still lhe per
son and limbs, Indian as this figure is, may
well compare with the choice models oßireeian
and. Italian statuary.

Loss or the steam frigate Mtsaoußt.
W'e regret to have to announce the total des -
truction, b}’ fire, of the splendid American steaii •
frigate the Missouri, while at anchor in this
bay, on Saturday week. She had the Hon. Ca
leb Cushing on b< ard, proceeding to Alexan
dria, en route for China, as Minister.
The alarm was first given at eight o’clock
precisely, and was immediately followed by such
a burst of fiatne from the engineer’s store room
as to lead to the belief that it originated among
lhe oil and spirits. Every exertion was made
to subdue it, and the large pumps were instant
ly put into operation; but the progress of the
flames was so rapid, that it became necessary to
flood the two magazines, which was done so ef
fectually, that it was not until 20 minutes after
three A. Al. that any explosion took place, and
then not to an extent to endanger the shipping
in the bay, the nearest of which had already
been removed by the exertions of the acting cap
tain ofthe port. Assistance was promptly sent
from the Malabar, under the personal superin
tendence ol Sir George Sartorius ; and the Lo
cust got up her steam and ran alongside the
Alissouri with the view of towing her into deep
et water, or rendering her any other aid ; but,
unfortunately, she had ahead}' grounded, which
rendered it impossible to scuttle her.
As soon as the fire broke out, the governor or
dered the Waterport gate to be opened, and pro
ceeded himself to the wharf, from whence he
despatched two engines under charge of the ar
tillery and sappers; but in spite of the united ef
forts ot the crew ot the Alissouri and her friend
ly auxilariesjhe progress ot the flames, which
at one time appeared to be got under, was such,
that at length Captain Newton was forced to
abandon his ship, alter summoning a council of
his own officers and those British officers about
him, who unanimously decided there was no
hope of saving the ship.
The order was then given by Captain New
ton tor all to quit the ship, which was done im
mediately by the crew taking the water, and re
ceiving the"ready assistance ot boats sent, in
anticipation of the exigency, from the Malabar
and from vessels in the harbor. Such was the
state of the ship, when the officers anti crew left
her, that they saved nothing but what they had
on. Capt. Newton did not quit the ship untilall
had left her, about a quarter past eleven o’clock.
We are happy to add, that the officers and crew
are believed lb be all saved.
His Excellency the American Minister, after
securing.his papers ot importance, returned to
the ship, at.d zealously united'his exertions to
those of her officers.
The line wall was crowded until a very late
hour with spectators, anxiously watching the
fete ot the noble ship. The .sight was awfully
grand; until the masts at length fell overboard,
the tracery of her spars and shrouds standing
out in bright relief against the dark sky, was
beautiful The whole rock wasas light asday;
and probably such a sight has not been witness
ed in the bay since the conflagration ot the float
ing batteries in the memorable siege.
We trust it will not be considered presumptu
ous to refer to the discipline on board this ill
fated vessel; but, as persons, employed along
side during the progress of the calamity, and on
whose veracity we can place the utmost reli
ance, have been desirous of bearing undeniable
testimony on this most important subject, we
beg to inform our readers that they describe the
discipline and order on board as most admira
ble; the several orders were given and obeyed as
if the vessel had been m perfect safety, and no
tliing had occurred to excite alarm or confusion.

Captain Sir John Ross has just returned from
his voyage of exploration to the South Seas.—
He transacted business at the Admiralty’ on the
12th instant, having run up to town, leaving his
shin at Portsmouth. The gallant sailor was in
excellent health and spirits, and expressed the
greatest satisfaction at the result ol his voyage.
Christina Gilmovr.—Mrs. Gilmour arrived
at Liverpool in the New York packet ship Liv
erpool, in custody of George. M’Key, a Scotch
officer. She was confined in our Bridewell du
ring the night, and at 12 o’clock on Tuesday
look her departure for Glasgow. She is repre
sented as a fine young woman, not more than 25
years of age.
The French MailSteamsiiips.—The Jour
nal des Debats states that the Transatlantic
steamers will begin to ply in a few months. —
There are to be four grand lines and tour sec
ondary lines.
The first grand line is to be froni Havre to
New York; the second from Bordeaux to Mar
tinique, touching at Corunna and the Azores in
the outward voyage, and returning direct; the
third from Marseilles to Martinique, touching
at Barcelona, Cadiz and Madeira, in the out
ward voyage, and returning direct; the fourth
from St. Nazaire to Rio Janeiro, touching at
Lisbon, Goree, Pernambuco, Bahia, on the out
ward voyage, and returning direct.
The hon-arrival of the Overland Mail, which
is now more than a fortnight beyond its time,
has excited some uneasiness. The delay has
occurred on the other side ol Suez. The belief
at present is, that the steamer has been beaten
back by’ the monsoon, although there are croak
ers who contend that worse than this has hap
pened—that she has gone to the bottom.
The Quecn’s Visit to Ostend.—On Mon
day, the 10th, the Queen, Prince Albert, and a
numberof the attendants on Royalty, sailedfrom
Brighton, in the royal yatch, on a visit to the
King and Queen of the Belgians. The morning
was very fine, and the scene of a very imposing
description. Arrived off Dover about three in
the afternoon, the Duke of Wellington, leaving
his scat al W aimer Castle, embarked in a boat,
and visited the royal yatch in the offing. The
Queen shook hands very cordially with him.—
The Duke left about six o’clock. The royal
yatch remained at anchor all night, and got un
der way early in the mottling. At three o’clock
I the same afternoon, the royal party reached
: Ostend, where the King ot the Belgians was in'
I waiting lo receive the royal guests.
Spain.
The new goverim nt of Spain is busily enga
ged ilia coiulicL with the discordant elements
which called it into being. Barcehmia is in
arms, and the. expulsion of Espartcro is likely
to be succeeded by a < sanguinary civil war. The
Foil ol Muujuich has been firing-upon the
Atarazanas. As the army cannot be depended
upon, measures ot extreme severity’ have been
adopted to awe it into subjection. A battalion
of the 3rd regiment at Barcelona routined a few
days ago; numbering about 500 men, it was
feared that the example migbt.be contagious.
Nayaez premised, if they laid down their arms,
they should have what they wanted; they did so,
and a number were immediately placed under
1 arrest; priests were introduced to them and,
' soon after five scrjeanls, two corporal- and a
| private were led out, and shot within sight of
■ the barracks.
Italy.
The most contradictory accounts respecting
the insurrection iußslogna find their way a
broad. The Algemeine Zeitung of August
28th. has private advices by way’ ofCoire, which
represent the disorders as important, and it
names the chiefs:—“The original leaders of the
movement, among whom i ■ the young Marchese
Tanara, a Count Zambeccari, and a Piedmon
tese ex-officer, named Melaru, have effected
their escape. Now the persons at the head of
the insurrection are one Lambertini troiu Bolo
gna, two brothers Murarori from Bazzano, (one
of whom is a physician,) a coin dealer from
■ Bazzano, and a man who was formerly a gen
i darme from Bologna.
Syria.
> Letters from Beyrout mention rn unpleasant
I occurrence at Jerusalem. Di. M t lowan, phy
sician to the Profestani mission, was sitting on
horseback, belbre a greengrocer’sshop,ordering
some tnellons, when a pat ty of soldiers began to
jeer him, and to tickle his horse. After iriefiec
tually desiring them to desist,he swept his whip
behind to keep them off. He was instantly
dragged Iromhis horse, and seriously beaten.
Portugal.
Don Miguel, whose contest for the throne of
Portugal, a lew years back, will be in th ■ recol
lection of many ol ourreadeis, appears nut to
have relinquished the prize for which he so long
contended. Almost foigolten in his retirement,
he has issued a proclamation, which shows that
the object w hich eluded his grasp, through the
determined opposition of his brother, Don Pe
dro, is still at his heart. In addition to its other
misfortunes, it is not improbable his beggarly
country, of which Don Aligucl is a prince, may
ba involved, ere long, in another contest tor the
throne.
State of Trade In England.
Bradford.—Alf kinds of plain and fancy
goods continue in demand, and full prices are
obtained for every di'scription of yarns. The
advance on wool lias irfouced spinners of yarns
to ask higher terms, whi ch have generally been
submitted io. The stock's on hand are very
light.
tluDDEßSFiEiro.—Most kindsof goods were
less inquired for last market d.sy Ibr low quali
ties ; there was, however, a moderate demand.
In the warehouse there is considerable activity,
and it is expected that a good business will be
done, at least ibr some weeks to cotne. No
change has occurred in the wool ma.’ket,.
Halifax.—A fair amount of business has
been transacted in pieces. Yarns and wool have
also met a ready sale, and though we itave no
alteration in prices to notice, the trade is decided
ly better. Both spiders and manufacture* arc
fully employed.
Leeds.— The market at both our cloth-halls,
as regards the quality ot goods sold, have this
week been a fair average ofthe markets tbr the
last five or six weeks. The principal demand
continues to be for good beavers, pilot cloths,
and heavy tweeds, whilst the. demand for fine
and middle qualities of cloths does not partake
of the general improvement. There also con
tinues to be a considerable business doing off
the market days in cloakings and shawls, any
thing new in style being very much in demand.
There is, on the whole, more businsss doing
than al the same period for several years past.
.Business continues to improve in the ware
houses, and the general opinions is, that a good
tn ide may be expected throughout the year, if
goods keep steady in price.
.Leicester.—We are happy to report the con
tii tuance of a good trade in almost every descrip
tio <n of the staple manufactures of the town.
Ti te fancy branch, on which so many workpeo
ple of both sexes depend, is employing more
han ids than it did two or three months since; and
as i nore wages are obtained in both the warp
and stocking manufactures, in consequence of
more general employment, a briskness is ob
serv. td through every part of the Leicestershire
conn nunity. The cut-up, shirt, and wrought
hose . kands are upon strike, to some extent for
an adt'ance of wages. The glove branch is in
about i‘he same state it has been in lor the last
month, *he hands being generally employed,
thouzh still some are stinted; others weary of
the stin 1, have go.ne to different employments.
The wo'isted mills still continue brisk. The
owners complain of the low profits. The Ber
lin warp branch is still good; some worsted
pieces ai'e now making:, which have not dimin
ished the call for cotton pieces; thedemajrd has
so incrca sed that the ha.ads entertain hopes of
continueci. employment.
Al inch ester.—Early i.'l thc month a large
amount wasdon'e in Tarns, at some
improvement; but the prices'demanded for fu
ture contracts are ro high, tha t the transactions
have of lai c been limited. Spi uners at present
entirely engaged, and it is thou,iht that buyers
must shortly accede to their tern u>. Alatntlac
turedgood -, which were previous! ' in uoorl re
quest, in consequence ofthe non-an avals of the
East Indian mail, have met a limit -d sale du
ring the last week; lhe stocks, howe’er, being
low, prices remain linn, and arc like! V to con
tinue so. Printing cloths, cords, dome stic and
other heavy goods, suitable for the horn. * trade,
are intolerably brisk demand: and for cords,
&c. higher rates are obtainable. Formous sclinc
de laines, there is usually extensive inqaiiry,
workmen in this bratu-li arc eggeMT sought for,
and in many instances, premiums have been of
fered. Block printers arc also very busily c ut
ployed.
Rochdale.—AVe have hadabrisk niece mare
. ket, and nearly all the goods offered have met
with buyers, at steady prices. The ready sale
for goods lias given a buoyancy to the wool
marl.itt, and the dealels in trie l aiv'inatcrtet Trace
not Iteen so eager to sell at fornu :r prices. Tho
workmen are fully employed, and a lew weeks
coir in tante oilhe present briskt less, will enable
them to obtain higher wages.
Nottingham.—The trade in s.®* hosiery man
ufactures continues very dull, mac 1 a rise in lhe
price of the raw material hasiutther added to
the depression, The fancy cotton hose branch
is without improvement. Such i» the falling off
in the demand for hoisciy, that many ofthe nee
dle inakeis have scarcely a day’n work in the
week. AVc do not hear of any iin; rroveinent in
the cotton glove trade. The demand for wrought
cotton hose is exceedingly flat.
Commercial Suiuinarj'.
The state of trade in every parto I'thecountry
is encouraging. Confidence has revived, for
eign orders come pouring in, mon-ey is abun
dant, the home trade has received an impetus,
and, wliat is perhaps better than all, lh.e harvest,
thanks to the lovely weather of the .last few
weeks, has been got in wiili safety, at d is de
scribed as an average one. Comru. 'rcially
speaking, abetter feelir g prevails now th an has
existed lor years. The cotton market has ’■ been
most buoyant; it receiveda stimulant sotn etwo
or three weeks back, when accounts cam e to
hand that the cotton crop in the Southcm St ates
had been seriously injured by the rains.
The accounts received this week by the Hi
bernia, prove these fears tube groundless, ■and
that the newcrop is likely to reach two milllaons
of bales. Still the market, uninfluejned b\ ' the
heavy stock on hand or the heavy stock w hich
will shortly arrive, maintains its buoyancy, and
speculation to a great extent is takinj; place.. It
is a singular fact, exemplifying the irttth of the
adage tiiat “when one door shut another opet is,”
that this extreme activity in thecottot i marke t is
not produced by our trade with the U. Stat ert,
whicli continues very depressed, indeed, the
stringent provisions ofthe new American tariff'
have cut off I he trade with this country to a me re
bagatelle, and the improved feeling may be tra
ced to the existence otnew channels of oonsump
tion lor British manufactured products.
Lon.tion, Sept. 18.
Aloney Market.—The funds ’nave fl actuated to
some extent since our previous report, and ol
late, there have been uneasy feelings displayed
regarding Ireland, where tin.' placingol barracks

parations, tavorihe idea that government antici
pate a struggle. On Monday and’.-Tuesday last
there was a rise, but on the latter day, large
sales were made by the bank bro! :er, which had
the effect of again depressing the market to our
present quotations. Money is plr nt 1 fill at a dis
count of 11 to 2 per cent. Excnet [uer Bills have

The main feature in the Forei; pt market is a

Sept. 15th.—A very large amount of businesa
has been transacted in Cotton this week; the te

Great Western U calculated to impart a greater
degree of firmness to the trade, but owing to tho
ready manner in which holders of American have
met the demand, there is little or no change in the
value of ‘hese descriptions. In some partial in

a similar improvement is apparent in Brazil and
Egyptiim. Surats are id per lb better than oil

Havre, September 16.
Cotton—During the whole of last week, and in
the earlv part of tho present one, our market ex
hibited ii considerable degree of flatness, the tran
sactions on some days were on a very contracted
scale, and prices began to wear a downward ap
pearance. Dealers, in expectation perhaps of ob
taining Some concession, bought sparingly and
merely to supply immediate nccexsities, but hold
ers, although willing sellers at current rates,
cvineert no disposition to gVress forward or to ac
cept lower terms. The firm attitude evinced ou
their |>art would seem to have had th* effect of
restoring confidence, for since Wednoalay more
briskness has been displayed in the demand, the
sales have been daily to aiJMUtxtent, and prices,
wl>i< h were bdm-t* drooping, rr.rve TWJW-vswmxr
stiffer, with rather an upper tendency than other
wise. The accounts from the other aide of tho
channel continue, upon'the whole, favorable, and
the weather still being most prosperous, there ap
pears consi'ipienlly to be good reason for antlei
pnliltg further improvement, lhe more so as tho
imports have for some time been inconsiderable,
and are not vet likely to add materially to our
stock. But the advices from the United States,
expected by the next steamers. Grest Western
and Hibernia, will, in all probability, convey some
intelligence of an interesting nature, and go for
to decide the point as to future prospects.
Sept. 16th.—The advices by the Hibernia, re
ceived yesterday, via Liverpool, imparted an ad
ditional degree of firmness to the cotton trade.—
An advance of 2}f to 3f was generally demanded,
but on those terms there were no buyers, aad
prices cannot be quoted more, than If to 2f high
er. The tendency of the market is, however,
upwards.
Mr. < laj\
In an article of the last number of the Deme
cratic Review on the question ofthe “Democrai.
ic National Convention,’’ the following passage
occurs,—a worthy tribute to Mr. Clay from on
antagonist.
“There is no serious question as to the Whig
candidate. It is to be Cut-Clay, witli ao
enthusiasm ot personal feeling which we envy
him the honor ot having awakened in his friends
and his party, far more than we should that of
the office itself, with which they arc so earnestly
bent to adorn ahd reward the closing years •('
his long political life. , * • * Clay
then can alone be the man; and the indications
are apparent enough, as indeed it could not be
doubted, that the rally and struggle to be made
lor him will equal, ifnot surpass, in vehemence
and in lavish profusion of means, the lieiore un
paralleled efforts of 1840.
“It is evident, it is indeed avowed that the
Whigs are holding themselves back in reserve
for the next year. I'heir most influential organs,
especially among those most devoted to Clay,
have been discountenancing the ideaut any ear
nest effort, anv hard party “work,” in the elec
tions of this fall. Some ol those rather disatfecl
ted to that ascendency, have indeed urged a dif
ferent course — doubtless in the expectation that
gcncrql defeat icmdil afford a basis of opposition to
Clay's nomination , with the view to the adoption
again of some other candidate of the available
stamp.”
There are very few among the great body of
the Whigs who will not agree with the opinion
expressed by this writer respecting Mr. Clay’s
position as a candidate lor the Presidency. He
is indeed singularly fortunate—fortunate because
entirely deserving—ill possessing the confidence
ofthe Whig party to a degree enjoyed by no oth
er statesman. Frequent have been the surmises
in quarters where interest has prompted the se
lection of some other candidate, that Mr. Clay
would not te “available,” that he might be in
fact test entitled to the honor of teing President
but that lie could not command the unanimous
support of his party. We arc always strongly
inclined to suspect the sincereity ofthose who at
this dav suggest any snbstituic for Henry Clay
in the election of 18-14. There wa« a time it
must te confessed, when histrnnsccndcni merits
seemed to I’e-linle nnderstootiby lhe mass ofthe
. people. But that time, we trust, has passed, if
lie have not now their affection' and respect, if
he cannot secure their “nnjior', then is there le.-««
political virtue and ititclligi iuJc among them
,‘han they have ciedit tor, and ilmay well be
,! lubted whether in thisgeueratiun at least, true
wi 'rtii in public lit-' can pos-ibly toirnnatid their
po, -.tieal ro-knouleilgcments.

by uat tonal politics. 1 Personal and local iuiet
etls wi U partially affect if, butthc general reault
will take its con.) lexion front the “Democracy"
and ‘-Wb’jgism of the voters. We have no
idea that .Tie true -ntngth ot the Whigs will be
exhibited, since it very rarely happens that lOTaJ
questions b rile' them into action. But if thee
would serve Hem v Clay, and the great catwe
witli which Ire is identified, they will for once

J it be proved that here is a point which may b«
relied upon, and strength will be added to the
whole partv tluongh tlie confidence that will be
inspired. Too ranch has been lost every where
in the Union, by the supinet.css of the Whig
party. It has lain on its oars long enough, and
it is’ now time to pull all together. It the ser
vices, the talents, the integrity, the just princi
ples, and general fame ot Henry’ Clay will nut
