Some of the Harrison party turned out Monday last, aud amused themselves by Beating the Loco Foeos,at an Election hold on that day, for a Senator for this county, to fill the vacancy, caused by the resigna tion of Dr. Wm. Q. Anderson. This is the result: George W. Carter, ( Whig) 350 Lewis S. Brown, (F. B.) 267 89 With a little too re than three-fourths of the votes polled in October, we have a small increase on the majority obtained then, which was 87. These continual victories are getting very tiresome. The Harrison party are beginning to feel like the Irish tailor who went about begging somebody to whip him, pleading that he was “blue moulded for want of abating -” 05” By a letter from Milledgeville, we I learn that a meeting of the Harrison mem bers of the Legislature, was held on the evening of the 3d inst. to nominate a mem ber of Congress to fill the vacancy, caused by the resignation of Judge Colquitt. At tiie third hallowing Hines Holt, Jr., of Co lumbus was chosen. Election on the first Monday in January next. 05” The Electors of President and Vice President chosen by the people of this State, met at the State House in Milledgeville, on Wednesday, the 2d instant, and after organizing by choosing the Hon. George 11. Gilmer to preside over their proceed ings, cast their votes for WILLIAM H. HARRISON and JOHN TYLER, for President and Vice President of the United States. U, S. Senator. lion. J. M.

Orme, was elected State Printer. The Bill altering the Constitution* so as to allow of Biennial Sessions of the Legis lature, has passed the Senate by a vote of 09 to 13. 03“ South Carolina has east her Electo ral vote for Mr. Van Buren, and Mr. Taze well, for President and Vice-President. 03- A singular fact is remarked* of the I late Presidential contest, viz: That no one of the candidates for President or Vice Pre sident got the vote of his native State and but one, Gen. Harrison, of the State where he usually resides—He lost Virginia, Mr. Van Buren lost New York, Kentucky vo ted against Johnson, Tennessee against Polk, and Georgia against Forsyth. “A prophet is not without honor except in his own country.” Many of the New York papers are urg ing the propriety of dividing that State yito two or three new and distinct States.— The following are the reasons they offer in favor of such a division: 1. The state is too large, and the divi sion proposed seems to he a natural one. t 5. The interests of these parts must con flict, and to do justioe to one by legislation, is to do injustice to the other. 3. Schemes of internal improvement for which all are bound equally to pay, are of more importance to one region than another. 4. It is desirable to have the government as near the people as possible, so that it not go. wrong ; and to, coniine its pow <er as much as possible, so that if it does go wrong, the evil may be comparatively light. 5. A representative from the borders of Lake Erie is not the most proper person to legislate for constituents dwelling on the shores of the Atlantic ocean. 6. The dangers to be apprehended from popular violence are less in a small state than in a large one; in the first place, be cause there are fewer causes to produce it, and in the second, because the people of a small but compact state arc more united in interest and sympathy. (The vanity of some distinguished writers is excessive; for instance, the Ma con Telegraph last week had its columns embellished with portraits of its editors !! They were universally recognized, though somewhat flattered, and one appeared a lit tle disguised. 05” An Ominous Name. —A steamboat in New Orleans is called “The Fry.” Presidential Election.

The subject before the Legislature, we find, which elicits the most enquiry, is the resumption bill. We have to inform our readers that the bill of the House, which compels the resumption on the Ist of Febru ary, has not yet been passed by the Senate. That a resumption bill will be passed this session, there is no doubt; the only point at aFU dfeubtful,is the exact time when this shall take place. Some (we think the minority) believe that the circumstances of the coun try require that the present crop should be realized, before the resumption, and are in favor of postponing the day to the Ist of July. Whether this modification of tire bill of the House will be agreed to; we can not say, but believe it will not be.. The great question of resumption- we believe to be settled by the people.. They demand!it, and that settles the main point, right or wrong. It seems to us-that the main ques tion being thus determined 1 , that the few months delay will be productive of but lit tle good, if not of positive mischief. With the fact before them of speedy resumption, the Banks generally (those determined to resume) will not put their bills- into circu lation, and we fear the only efleet of the de lay will be to allow the crop to be bought with the bills of more hazardous banks, and which may result in leaving in the hands of the community at the time of re sumption, bank notes of depreciated value. Resumption being determined on, we be lieve that the Ist of February will be a safer day for this measure to take place, both for the banks and for the people. From the Savannah Republican. The Whig press has very generally ex pressed a decided opinion against the scramble for office which, since the elec tion of General Harrison, has manifested itself in some quarters. The press in Vir ginia, it will be seen by the following para graphs, is equally decided on the subject : The New York correspondent of the Na tional Intelligencer states that “an undigni fied and unworthy scramble for office has already commenced” in that city. “Men are going about getting other men to sign their names to papers requesting Gen. Har rison to give them such and such an office.” We most devoutly hope that in every such case, Gen. Harrison will reject the applicant. This office-seeking mania is the disgrace and curse of the country ; and we hold that the beggars for the crumbs that fall from the President’s table,show, by that very circumstance, that they are mercena ries in spirit, and unworthy the stations they seek. They make the best officers who stand aloof from this spaniel-like scramble of the “spoils.”—We all recollect the host of office-seekers by whom Gen. Jackson was besieged when he entered Washington City, and whom he only succeeded in dis persing by a general notice that no man should receive an appointment except at his home! The Whigs have been denouncing the spoils principle. We call upon them to frown upon any member of the party who has the effrontery to claim his “ reward ” —the very best evidence he can furnish, in our estimation, ofhis unworthiness to fill any station.— Lynchburg Virginian. The Richmond Whig, in copying the foregoing paragraph, appends to it the fol lowing remarks:— We look to Gen. Harrison with unfalter ing confidence to put an end at once and forever to the demoralizing office seeking spirit, which was engendered by the ‘spoils system’ as introduced and practised by the reigning faction. His position will enable him to do it, and we have faith that his in clinations will prompt him. Let him, by his acts, proclaim to the world that mere partizan zeal, without capacity and estab lished character for honesty, constitute no passport to office. And let him, if possible, suppress that growing passion of the age —The eagerness to be quartered upon the Public Treasury—to live without labor at the public expense—a passion which is a bane to honest industry and to good morals. This lie can only effect by exerting his in fluence in curtailing the offices and reduc ing the salaries. Such a reform, while it may excite the clamor of the interested and disappointed, will win for him the affection and lasting gratitude of nine-tenths of his countrymen. Ifhe were less patriotic and firm of purpose than he is, and if he were looking to a re-election, he might be deter red from pursuing this bold and noble course ; but there is no earthly inducement to swerve him from the path of right;—the true, substantial and enduring welfare of his country—the sole object of his ambition —is all he has cause to consult. That promoted, he may despise tho malice ofhis enemies, and disregard the clamors of un worthy friends. A Washington letter writer in theN. York Express says— Madam Rumor gjves to-Hon. W.C. Pres ton, of South Carolina, the Attorney Gen eralship under Harrison. I attach credit and importance to the rumor from circum stances within my knowledge. Mr. P. is a ripe scholar, a polished gentleman, and an eloquent and talented orator. I doubt whether a better or more acceptable ap pointment could be made. Vermont. —The salary of the Governor of this State is but $750. The Secretary of this State gets S3OO, and the Tresurer S4OO. The members of the Senate and House of Representatives receive, during the session of Legisl atu re, $ 1 ,50 per day. The Lieutenant Governor, while presiding in the Senate, receives $4. The number of newspapers published in the State is 27 ; and there are not more than two published in any one town, except Montpelier, which issues four.— Balt Sun. Elected to Congress. —Judge Moore, who was elected to Congress from the Third district, Louisiana, by 66 majority, over Winn, was elected at the recent election in that State to the present Congress by a large majority, in place of Rice Garland, resigned. John H. Thompson (Whig) has been elected to Congress, in the Harrodkburg dis trict, Ky.,to supply the place of Mr. An derson, deceased. The Feds affect to be vastly consoled un der their defeat by having carried Virgin ia. The moral weight of this Old Com monwealth, they hope, will break their downfall, and mitigate the odium, which will attach to them l and'their cause. They are welcome so all the comfort they can de rive from such a source. But they shall not forget, that old Virginia of revolution ary renown, the Virginia of Washington and Jefferson and Henry put her veto on them and their abominations. The coun ty of Washington voted against them, the county of Jefferson voted against them; and the county of Henry voted against them ! Lower Virginia voted against them by upwards of 2000 majority. The most intelligent portion of Western Virginia too, voted against them. They are indebted for all the victory they have won, to the patriot sages and’ illustrious statesmen of Rockingham, Shenandoah and Page. What consolation or moral influence victory from such sources may afford, they are welcome to. But they shall not claim the honor of having received the approbation of old Vir ginia, which is now, as she was in ’75, a tyrant hater.— Richmond Whig. Father against Son. —Henry W. Cush man, of Bernardstown, Mass., a Van Bu ren candidate for the Legislature, was in the recent election opposed and beaten by his own father. In such a case, let who will beat, the office is kept in the family. This is not quite so bad as for a son to beat his own father—a circumstance which occurred last year in Plymouth county, Mass. Seth Sprague, jr., (Whig) was elected Senator from that county over his own father; and although, as in the other case, the office was thus ‘kept in the family,’ yet the old gentleman is said to have re marked that he ‘had rather been beaten by the d—l than by his own son.’ Perhaps lie will catch it from both. BOSTON AND GANO. The great match race, or rather the great match, which “ wasjistno race at all,” between these two lions of the day, came off yesterday, over the Lafayette course, and resulted in the defeat of Gano, in a single heat. Time, 7 minutes 57 seconds. After which he was drawn and Boston took the “ready.” Although few were disappointed in the success of Boston, yet all expected Gano to have made a more interesting and anima ted contest. It was evident, however, that he was “ off his foot,” for his first heat yes terday was not in as good time by several seconds, as he made a heat last Spring over the same course. Notwithstanding Boston was the victor, it was a contest by which lie will not add anything to his already high reputation, for it was clear that Gano was not able to make him run over any part of the ground. Augusta Chronicle, Bth inst. Condition of Mexico. —An extract of a letter from Mexico, published in the Jour nal of Commerce, says : This country is very poor, and loaded with taxes. The Mexicans are much more acquainted with foreigners than formerly, and don’t trouble them so much. Robbers are plenty in the roads, and they rob the stage from Vera Cruz to Mexico every now and then. The Federalists have not suc ceeded for Want of energy. The fact is, that in this country you can find scarcely a man to fake any interest in his country except to rob it.” A PHENOMENON. The Cincinnati Ledger ofthe 11th says : Yesterday morning, as we were return ing home from our office, about 2 o’clk., we were suddenly startled by an explosion im mediately over our head, similar to the re port of a cannon. In looking up we disco vered in the air, large fragments of fire, flying in different directions—each of which looked to us as if they were particles of a star that had burst asunder. The moon became black as ink, and the starsall seem ed as if they had dwindled away & nought could be seen but the fiery fragments flying about the sty. These burnt for a few mo meats, and 1 then gradually died away until they could be seen no more. A few mo ments after the explosion took place, the earth shook lifte an aspen, and the moon when she again shone seemed trembling from the effects of the shock. What could have been the cause of this wonderful oc currence ? Can any of our great astrolo gers throw any light on the subject ? [lt is conjectured that the Editor of the Ledger was corned and struck his head a gainst a post. FORTUNE. What a rascally jade Fortune is—how she bothers us poor, honest men. Our want of success is all owing to her poor, paltry, contemptible spite.- Wo shall be lazy— reckless—improvident—dissolute—drunk- en—still, we might, we say, succeed, if it were not for-Fortune, who spites us. What honorable men we all are, and what an a bominable jade that Fortune is. Let’s all abuse her. N. Y. Atlas. So let us. Miss Fortune, you are a scamp. Keep out of “ these diggins” will you. Extract from a Patent Sermon. —“ Take care of your moments, —moments are the small change of time—small in their indi vidual amounts, but of immense importance in forming days, months, years, and ages. You own nothing here ; you are only ten ants of this lower world; and the rent is enormous! Think of Eternity. Why, you don’t know the meaning of that worn, nor I either, hardly. It is for ever and ever, and five or six everlastings a-t'op of that. You might place a row offigures from here to sunset, and cypher them all up, and, it wouldn’t begin to tell how many ages long eternity is. Why, my friends, after mil lions, billions, and trillions of years had rolled away in eternity, it would then be a hundred thousand years to breakfast time!’ Whenever you see a man spending his time lounging about the streets, talking pol itics, you need not expect that he has any money to lend. “ My dear,” said a gentleman to a lady to whom he thought to be married, “ do yon wish to make a fool of me ?” “ No,” re plied the lady, “nature has saved me the trouble.” The Ledger says there is a man in Cin cinnati so lazy that he hires a big negro to carry his shadow ; being too indolent to drag it on after himself, A New Orleans editor says, every man who carries a stick should be called a Gen eral ; for his cane is an aid to him, and therefore he is a “staff officer.” Tolerably philosophical, says Corporal Streeter.— These premises being good, it follows that the carrier of a stick that breaks, is a stage manager,because it plays himFALSE-STAFF. Thou know’st that I love thee,” as John Smith said to the gin toddy, swallow ing the last drop.— N-~ Y. Atlas CONTEMPT OF COURT. There was an old practitioner of Law over the mountains in Virginia, who was a sort of “Sir Oracle” with the magistrates or county court. Whatever he told the court was law, the court decided was law. He was a “ privileged character.” Though the Court considered Mr. Jones infallible, some of the young attorneys used to ven ture a smirk now and then at his legal dog,- mas. On one occasion, one of them ven tured so far as not only to deny what Mr. Jones said was law, but to express some surprise that lie should assert it to be so.— This was downright “contempt,” not only of the Court, but of Mr. Jones. Where upon Mr. Jones so berated and and and the lawyer, that he called upon the court to protect him. “Piotccl you!” said the Court. “You may think yourself well off that the court does not commit you !” “Commit me!” exclaim, and the young law yer, “for what /” “Because,” replied the court, “you put Mr. Jones in a passion, and made him curse and swear before the court.” Goon Friday. —The following anecdote is not bad in these days, when reverence for holy usages has nearly left the land. An attorney in the supreme court on Thursday was anxious to bring a cause to trial, and went to inquire of the chief justice if he would not sit on Friday. “No, sir,” said the chief justice, “no judge ever sat on Good Friday, but Pontius Pilate.” A Temperance Anecdote. —A man was taken before a magistrate for having, while drunk, knocked down in the street a minis ter of religion.. Tho prisoner was fully convicted of the offence, but at the urgent intercession of the reverend gentleman whom he had injured, was liberated on signing the teetotal pledge lor a month. At the expiration of the month, he called at the house of the divine, and being intro duced, expressed his gratitude for the effects of tho pledge he had submitted to, and con cluded with expressing the utmost sorrow at not having met and knocked down his reverence thirty years before.

Price’s METALLIC TRUSS, (LATEST IM PROVE ME NT,) For the immediate relief and radical cure of all or either of the following varieties of HERNIA, (Rupture,) to wit: Scrifal, Femoral, Inguinal, Ventral, or Umbilical. The Subscriber having purchased the right and privilege of applying and using, within the county of Wilkes, this celebrated instrument for the radical cure and immediate relief of all per sons who are the unfortunate subjects of either of ;he above mentioned diseases, embraces an ear ly opportunity of informing such, that they can be relieved from this distressing malady by ma king early application. Trusses, of sizes suitable for every variety of case, will be kept constantly oil hand and applied at a reasonable price. The inventor of this new and valuable Truss in his remarks on the subject says: “Having cured extensive ruptures of eighteen years standing, and given immediate relief, in a considerable number of cases, in old and in young persons, who are now either entirely well, or re lieved from all inconvenience from this distress ing and dangerous malady ; persons thus affect ed, who have not heretofore had an opportunity of availing themselves of its substantial benefits, that of immediate relief and ultimate radical cure, will doubtless now do so. My Patent Metallic Truss combines the ad •varjtages of all other Trusses, without their in conveniences ; and is equally applicable to the live different varieties of Rupture enumerated, and can be worn night and day with comfort and convenience; and it the patient be prudent and regards his health, effectually prevents the es cape of the Viscera. The steel spring Truss, it is well known, cannot be worn at night, and consequently, a great deal of time is lost by that circumstance. The celebrated Mr. Cooper says in his surgical work upon the subject of the ap plication and use of the Truss, that, “Whoever wears a Truss, should be careful to employ it day and night, without intermission, so that there may he no opportunity for the Hernia to protrude again; lor experience has put it beyond all doubt, that by the continual unremitted use of a Truss, and the retention of the contents of the Hernia, the neck of the sack and the ring may be gradually lessened in diameter, until they are entirely closed, and a radical cure of the rup ture effected.”—This is now the opinion of all Surgeons of respectability, and with my Truss, this important injunction of one and all of the most distinguished Medical men ill the world, can be complied with. In offering my Truss to Ihe afflicted of Rup ture, I do it confidently, believing, from actual experience in my own person, and that of many others, that it is the most valuable instrument ever presented lor their use. My opinion upon .this subject is corroborated by that of all Physi cians who have examined it, and had an oppor tunity of knowing of the success 1 have had in relieving and curing ruptures of different kinds.” Various certificates from Physicians of the h.ghest character could be produced in relation to the superiority of this Truss over all others yet presented to the public ; but I forbear, and trust that all those who are thus afflicted, will test the value of the instrument by availing them selves of its immediate application. It is simple, convenient, and valuable indeed. JAMES W. PRICE, b. r. Washington, Dec. 10, 1840. 15—2 t EXECUTED AT THIS © F IF 0 © (E.
