Worthy of Imitation. —lt is much the
fashion with certain portions of the commu
nity to rail at the operations of the bankrupt
law, and regret the liberation which it gives
to the immense numbers of the unfortunate,
impoverished more by unexpected change
of times, than by their own fault. There
are, however, bright examples of humanity
occasionally shining out amidst the dark
ness of selfishness. A poor debtor recenty
called on a creditor in this city a merchant
of high standing, to ask if he was going to
oppose his discharge. “ Oppose it,” by no
means. “ I hope you will get through, and
here is some money to help pay the expen
ses.” The debtor retired with a feeling of
gratitude, intense beyond description.—

WASH.INGT()N. (JX:
THURSDAY, APRIL 21, 1842?
IVhit; Convention.
The communication of our correspondent
“ Wilkes,” calls the attention of our friends
to the Whig Convention to be liolden at Mil
ledgeville in June next. The importance
of that Convention it is not necessary to
urge upon our readers-—and we trust that
early and prompt measures will be taken
in this and the surrounding Counties, to ap
point suitable Delegates.
Tho unprecedented pecuniary distress
which has prevailed throughout the State,
has done more to break down party lines
and to diminish party excitement, than could
be effected by any other cause. In the
pressing exigency of private affairs the bu
sifress of the public is apt to be forgotten or
neglected. Common misfortune, too, does
much towards reconciling political oppo
nents, and parties alike involved in the all
pervading distress, take little interest in
counteracting each other.
For these reasons, we fear that our friends
will not pay due consideration to the im
portance of the June Convention. But the
necessary concert of action among the
Whigs of the different parts of the State
can be obtained in no other way than by
such a meeting, and a free interchange of
views and sentiments. The fruits of the
glorious victory achieved in 1840, have
been snatched from us by the death of the
lamented Harrison, and by the base deser
tion of his successor. These misfortunes
have in some measure paralyzed the efforts
of the party, and have caused the defeat of
the Whigs by their opponents who still
maintain their pha'an* unbroken and tak
ing advantage of our disorganization have,
by the most despicable schemes, managed
to maintain themselves in power.
It is to regain the ground we have lost, to
devise farther means for the maintenance
of our principles, to select candidates to
represent us in the National Councils, and
above all to discover who may be the choice
of the Whig portion of the people as candi
date for the next presidency, that this Con
vention is called. The Whigs in almost
every other State but ours, have already
held meetings, resolved on a system of ac
tion. and are preparing vigorously for an
other campaign. It is time that the Whigs
of Georgia were also up and doing. They
have active and vigilant foes to contend a
gainst, and it behoves them to be “ wide
awake.”
We hope meetings will be called at an
early day in every County in the State to
select suitable Delegates to the Convention
and that a careful and judicious choice will
be made of men of the right stamp without
taint of Tylerism or Locofoism, of judgment
enough to discern what the wishes of the
people are, and of patriotism to defer to
those wishes in preference to their own per
sonal prejudices.
03” The Milledgeville Recorder, says :
“ The Governor has, upon complaint, is
sued a scire facias against the Bank of
Hawkinsville, which is likely to result in
its being required to go into a liquidation of
its liabilities.
i The suspension of the Columbus Banks
has had the effect, through this section, of
bringing in question the ability of the City
Council promptly to redeem its issues, and
they have consequently also become un
current.”
The Madisonian, President Tyler’s
jackall, has the following :
“ One-halt, probably, of’ tho Whigs prefer Mr.
Webster to Mr. Clay, as President, and they look
forward to his succeeding President Tyler, after
the latter shall hare screed another term , or, in
other words, one term in his own right.”
So tho cat is out of the bag at last, we
arc to have Mr. Tyler President for anoth
er term if he can find any body to elect
him. We fear that “ honest John” has be
come corrupted by the possession of power,
or he would not so soon forget all his
pledges and arguments in favor of tho one
term principle—or, perhaps he is not per se
in his perfect senses; weak heads are apt to
turn dizzy in elevated situations. We like
that expression “in his own right ;” it
sounds regal and magnificent.
IChotlc-Island.
It seems that this little State is on the
verge of a revolution ; the difficulty arises
from the efforts of some part of her citizens
to obtain a participation in the Government
which has been hitherto refused to them.
Ilhode-Island has been since the time of
Charles 11. governed by a charter granted
by that King, which disfranchised a large
portion of her citizens, by denying them the
right of sulFrage. This party desired a
new Constitution and accordingly called a
Convention for the purpose of forming one.
The other party also framed a Constitution
and presented it to the people for their ap
probation. They rejected it. The party
in favor of free and universal suffrage insist
that this rejection implies the adoption of
their Constitution. The party governing
under King Charles’ charter, insist that the
Constitution having been 1 ted the Slate
must conliuut to b- ovetued by the old
Ch<>:-
een inc.feP°ed by a
die Legis
i.at : rn pi i- ho shall
hob: i :: >n from
1 lie fret solli.;ge patty, be guiltv of
treason and be imprisoned for life. To
counteract this law, the pcoph have formed
into associations pledged to resist it by
force, and the Governor has ordered the
military companies to hold themselves in
readiness at a moments warning. Both
parties are armed and seem brim-full of
wrath and valor. They might possibly
fight if there was room enough in Rhode-
Island for a battle-ground.
Some curiosity has been evinced to know
which of’ the parties President Tyler in
tends to favor, both having sent deputations
to Washington—the Government to ask his
assistance and the other party to prevent
bis interference. Tho President seems,
however, to go on the non committal princi
ple, for it is said that he has written to the
Governor approving his course and that of
the Legislature, while he seems to have
given assurances that he will not send an
armed force into Rhode-Island, or in any
other way interfere with the proceedings of
the free suffrage party.

CON N ECTICUT ELECTION.
The Result—All but one town heard from.
We have received returns from all the
Towns in the State, but one—Voluntown.
The result is as follows:
Cleveland (deni.) 23,970
Ellsworth, (fed.) 22,094
Gillette, (abolition,) 1,202
Loomis, (conservative,) 571—23,927
Cleveland’s majority over all, 49
“ “ Ellsworth, 1,882
The vote of Voluntown last year, was as
follows: 104 democratic, 02 federal. If it
should be ihc same this year, Cleveland’s
majority over the three other candidates,
will be 91.
The aggregate vote will be larger than
it was last year—at least 2,000 larger.
We have carefully compared and correc
ted our table by our returns, and believe it
is very nearly correct. We think Cleve
land will lead all of the three other candi
dates, but a choice may possibly be preven
ted by scattering votes.
LEGISLATURE.
The returns for Representatives are as
follows :
Democrats, 124
Federalists, 41
Abolitionists, 2—43
Democratic majority, 81
The Democrats haveelected 15 Senators,
the Federalists 6—making the Senate com
plete.

FOR THE NEWS. AND GAZETTE.
Mr. Editor :—Though the times bo dull,
even though they be emphatically hard
times, the WHIGS of Wilkes must not for
get their Convention, appointed at Milledgc
ville, on the second Monday in Juno next.
If that meeting is composed of the wisdom
and talent of the party, as it should be, it
will be of tho utmost consequence to the
best interests and success of our principles.
It should be known, that at that meeting,
arrangements are to be made for actively
and energetically combating our opponents
in the approaching Congressional cam
paign. And, more than this, there are two
reasons why the Whigs of Georgia, should
have a full meeting at the time appointed :
Ist. Ours are tho only correct principles
upon which this Government can bo suc
cessfully administered ; the proof, is in the
last twelve years of our history. 2d. The
Democrats, the lovers of the dear people,
are so bound of late by Constitutional
principles, that they cannot afford the least
relief to the sufferings of their dear ones—
consequently, that high and patriotic duty,
will, ere long, devolve on the Whigs, the
sure and tried friends of the people.
Such is the situation of the country that
the soundest wisdom in the land must bo
brought into their councils ; go-betweens
in politics, will not be tolerated ; decision
and perseverance upon correct principles, is
what the people want and also what the
country greatly needs ; and such, the pre
sent crisis loudly calls for. Let us have as
much of those as possible, in our Conven
tion, and it may be that will be ••the be
ginning of better times.” WILKES.
From the Savannah Republican
THE TIMES.
Time is the revealer of all secrets, the
talisman which opens the door of every dark
place to the public gaze. If the course of
time, in its vast rolling changes, dj>'oses
such hidden secrets, and casts up from the
abysmal depths such rare treasures, what
shall be said of hard times, like the present
which, with the facility of an enchanter’s
wand, arrays more facts and balances more
books in an incredibly short space of time
than the nice address of investigators and
and book-keepers, however skillful and dil
igent.
Previous to 1837, all was sunshine at id
dreamy prosperity, the banks would lend
money wherewith to buy- up tho crops be
fore they were harvested. Hope succeed
ed hope, promises came richly laden to eve
ry door, every one speculated, every one
thrived at least in appearance. Not only
was the pernicious example of the locai
banks felt in the usual way of lending aid
to.irresponsible persons, but without their
aid the Stales could never have succeeded
in disposing of the immense amount of
bonds, which have brought us so heavily in
debt to foreign capitalists.
Those were happy days, for although the
very atmosphere wo breathe was filled with
unsubstantial visions of gilded wealth, still
there was no such thing as pay (lav. But
now, alas 1 something is wrong in the so
cial machinery, times arc getting into a
bad state, crops are short, confidence is an
nihilated, trade is stopped like a clock
whose weights have rundown. The non
paying system made business brisk, but
these sad paying times check it exceeding
ly-
In coininon parlance, these arc hard times,
but we are too apt to take a narrow view of
the meaning of the expression. They are
hard, because they are destined to break up
root and branch, the old order of things, and
establish, on their ruins, anew system by
which people must pay their debts, and by
which getting into debt is no longer to sup
ply the place of industry and economy.—
When we look abroad over the country, we
recoil with amazement from the spectacle
of moral obliquity which these times have
brought to light. Every mail brings us
additional accounts of the defalcations of
Bank officers, and of the explosion of these
mushroom Institutions which have existed
for the benefit of the privileged few. The
time has not yet come when the new order
of things is to prevail fully.
Strict investigations are still in progress
which will educe new results. Important
social changes are still advancing. A
great portion of the old order of things yet
exists, and sooner or later, the correction
will be applied. The prices of marketing,
of groceries, of wearing apparel, and of al
most of every thing else, must come down.
Salaries which were based upon a fictitious
state of prosperity, will be curtailed so as to
be adjusted to reduce expenses. Borrow
ers, who were accustomed to rely on their
good feeling of their neighbors for their sub
sistence, must rely upon themselves ; and
a large class of persons who have been ac
customed to depend upon accommodation
notes running in Banks, from Maine to
Louisiana, will either have to pay their
debts or Bank explosions will be still
more appallingly frequent than they have
been. These are times when prompt pay
ments are indispensible, when both credi
tor and debtor are hard pressed, and when
strict integrity, industry and punctuality
are in requisition. It is through the devel
opement of all these realities that commu
nities advance to a proper appreciation of
the advatages ofindustry and economy, to
a just sense of the importance of a high
standard of conduct.

“The Hon. Martin Van Buren, and the

rhe Whigs tis North Carolina. —A Con
vention of the Whig Party of the Stato of
North Carolina assembled at Raleigh (the
sent ofGovernmcnt ofthat Slate) on the 4th
ol this month, at which a great proportion
of the counties of the state were represented
by respectable Delegates. We have re
ceived in an extra sheet from the office of
the Raleigh Register, the result of the de
liberations of this Convention, consisting of
a report of some volume and a number of
resolutions, all of w hieh were unanimously
adopted. I bis document is so materially
connected with the politics of the day, that
we consider it our duty to lay it before our
readers as early as we can conveniently
make room for it.
1 lie most marked features oftlie resolu
tions, it may be meanwhile stated, are a just
tribute to the memory of the late deceased
President of the United States; a determi
nation to adhere to the principles upon
which his election was advocated and ear
ried, disavowing all political connexion with
the existing Administration ; proposing and
nominating Henry Clay for the next Presi
dency ol the United States, and pledging
themselves to give the nomination a hearty
and persevering support; nominating John
M. Morehead, the present Governor of the
State for re-election; approving the Land
Law passed at the last session of Congress;
denying the moral right of Congress to re
peal the. same, and denouncing the vote of
any member of Congress from that State
who shall, after what has been done, sup
port any proposition to withdraw the land
fund from its present appropriation.—Na

GOV. YELL A: SECRETARY SPEN
CER.
It appears that quite a piquant corres
i pondencelia.s taken place between Governor
\ ell, of Arkansas, & the Secretary of War.
The Governor announces the murder of a
! citizen of the State by a Cherokee Indian,
| and demands an increase of the U. States
i force on that frontier; declaring at the same j
| time that the State had frequently appealed ;
jto the Gepei'al Government in vain for a I
i .sufficient force upon the frontier to keep
tl>r Indians in subjection, and expressing
the determination in future, “that if your
Government is too weak and inefficient to
afford us protection, we can and will pro- j
teet ourselves, let the consequence be what !
they may.”
The Secretary replies that there was a j
sufficient United States force already on the
frontiers to answer all necessary purposes |
in the present peaceable state of the Indi- j
ans ; that no military force whatever could j
prevent individual quarrels and brawls a-j
mong the Indians anymore than among the I
.citizens; that these must be left to the orrii- 1
nary operations of tho civil, government ; j
that there was no appearance of eombina- I
tion among the Indians for hostile appear
ance ; that the delivery of the Cherokee j
murderer by bis nation, Jirovire tbu peaeva- }
ble disposition oftliose Indians; that the De- [
partment had no information of indignities j
alluded to’by the Governor ; and therefore j
presumed there would be no occasion for a !
regiment of volunteers directed to be organ- j
ized by his Excellency, upon an unfoutt-j
ded alarm.
To this Governor Yell rejoins in the
most indignant terms. His self-respect for- j
bade his adopting “the style and manner” |
of the Secretary, whose communication lie;
I regarded as an intimation that tho protec- !
tion of the State “was to depend upon the J
! slow and tardy movements of the federal j
! government, and without itsgrece and mer- j
j cy” was to be in “no better condition than j
! the people of Florida,” and concludes in I
the following language: “The executive !
of tho (this) State however, does not yield j
the power and authority incident to a sove- !
reign State, to protect themselves, whenever j
; the federal authorities shall fail or refuse to
; do so ; and in future, I shall know to what
arm to look for protection and redress. In
the exercise ofthat discretion, I shall bold
myself responsible to my constituents and i
my country.”
From the Baltimore Republican.
THE STEAMER.
The House of Repaesentatives has pas
j ed the bill from the Senate authorizing the
the building of an Iron War Steamer.—
Although we gave some account of what
she is to be in our last, yet the following
description by Mr. Wise is more full :
“Thisship, by means of her sub-aqueous
propellers, would have a velocity unexam
pled, and from her construction, would be
invulnerable. She was to be constructed
of sheet iron plates revetted together in such
a manner as to be impregnable either to
the Paixhan or round shot. Indeed the ex
periments of the board of officers had de
monstrated that the plates, put together in
the manner intended for the ship, resisted
sixty-four pound shot fired at a distance of
of thirty feet.
“The ship would also have all that light
ness and bouyancy.of wooden ships, and ve
locity equal to any other steam vessel, ei- j
ther for escape or attack. These were not j
her only merits: all her machinery would |
be below water, and out of the reach of an
enemy’s shot. Her means of annoyance j
w ould be a shot invented by this same Mr.
Stevens, which the Government had been
in possession of these twenty years, and
which was as much superior to the I’aix
han shot as that was superior to all others—
a shot that would explode immediately on
striking the object—that had no fuse, and
was perfectly safe in every respect. He
would mention one fact to show its great
superiority. Out of twenty of these shot
that had been kept on band for ten years,
nineteen of them exploded in stilting the ob
ject fired at. Tho whole ship, with her ar
mament and means of propulsion, came
from one of the ablest enginers in the coun
try. He proposed anew plan of propel
ling vessels, similar to that of Mr. Ericcson
—and, by-the-bye, Ericson’s plan was his;
by which the wheel would be below the
water, and as well out of they way of the
enemy’s shot as the roughness of the sea. i
Mr. \Y. concluded bv savinir that evert
thing relating to the ship had been provided I ;
by actual experiment, and that it was the !,
best mode of defending oureoast and bar- j |
hors, now eminently threatened by the ! ,
English power. lie moved the previous
question on tho passage oftlie bill.”
|
Cowardly yet Bloody. —The Providence i
Express lias the following account of the ! ;
‘first blood’ drawn in tho present Rhode
Island war of the Constitution, and no
doubt it is to be regarded as a “perforate
account of the matter.” Shakspear thought
it a good joke to “prick bull calf till lie
roared,” hut King Charles’ men in Rhode i
Island would be content with nothing less
than a downright slaughter of antiquated
beef. We are sorry for the cow, certainly
but it is gratifying to learn that the war has
commenced rather comically than other,
wise. It may tend to prevent more serious
slaughter.
“Night before last the guards at the arse
rial, placed there by order of the Governor
and commanded by the Quarter-Master
General in person were alarmed by the sud
den approach of some invader of the treas.
tire under their custody. The pieces of
four of the guards were immediately level
led in the direction of the invader. “Who
o-o goes the-r-re, cried the commander.—
No reply was received from the object.—
The awful question was again repeated,
with a similar and stil 1 more ominous si
fence. 1 lie word was then given to fire, j
The guards cWd their eyes, held back
their heads, fired and ran in cover. On
sallying out in the morning, to see n‘ I
were any traces of the murderous affair of
the proceeding evening, the prostrate and \
perforated remains of an unfortunate and
defunct cow were exhibited to their liorri- j
lied gaze as the trophies of the night’s bloo- I
dy work.”
Important Decision to Mechanics. —We j
refer our readers to the opinion of the Court j
of Appeals in the case of John White vs. St. i
Philips’ Church, published this morning, in
which it is decided that a mechanics’ book j
entry is inadmissible to prove the perform- !
ance of a job of work, unless it be some- j
thing ultimately delivered to tho defendant. ;
The entry ruled to be inadmissible, in this !
case, was “ To furnishing and laying 2544 >
feet of stone flagging curb and gutter stone, ‘
at twenty-five cents per foot, $<;:36.” Tin
principle settled by this decision is that a j
mechanic may prove bv book entry work
(lone in his shop and delivered to the defen j
dant; but he cannot prove, in that way. j
work done outside of his shop and on the I
defendant s premises, as building or rojoA-'-
ing a house or any other fiv,e.
