it is not a very agreeable business—but’ it
is necessary to remind some of our subscri

03” CONGRESS met last Monday at
Washington. There seems to be some
doubt whether the great measures which
the Democrats promised the people in the
late canvass, will be carried out at this ses
sion. Some, who profess to be judges of
political matters, seem to think that tho
“■immediate” annexation of Texas, the o
verthrovv of the Tariff, and the establish
ment of the sub-Treasury, wili be perfected
immediately, because the Democratic party !
possesses greater-power and a larger ma
jority in this than they will in the next Con- ‘
gress, and the Acting President is as De
mocratic as the most rigid Loco-foco can
desire. Others are of opinion that these
questions will he postponed till the next
Congress, that Polk and the Polkers may
have all the glory. For our own part we i
not believe these measures will be carried
into effect at all, either now or hereafter, |
(at least not to the extent promised) if for
no other reason, because tho Democracy
pledged themselves to their accomplish
ment. Loeofoco promises, like dreams,
always “go by contraries.”
All eyes are turned towards tho Senate
which is Whig by so small a majority, that
it is very doubtful if it will bo able to stem
the tide of destruction, which the measures
of the dominant party will pour upon the
country. If a LocofocoSenator is elected
from Virginia, (which is not improbable,)
the party will have the Senate by the cast
ing vote of the Vice President in the next
Congress. In this Senate the YVhigs have
a majority, but it may be a question with
Senators whether it is their duty to oppose
measures which the majority of the voters
in the late eleetjon so emphatically called
for. We hope that no resistance will be
offered by the Whig Seuators to the pro
posed Deinooratic measures; indeed we
would not think it much of a misfortune if
the Locos had the Senate. As it is, all the
blame of the defeat of the Democratic meas
ures, if they are defeated, will be saddled
on the Whigs because they possess one
branch of the Government. The brazen
knaves who did the electioneering for the
Democracy in the late canvass had the
elfrontry to charge that their promised
repeal of the tariff was defeated by the
votes of Stephens and Clinch in the House,
their two votes annihilated the Locofoco
majority of seventy—reasoned the Loco
politicians. If they could charge the de
feat of their promised measure upon the
Whigs, because our party had these two
gallant Representatives in Congress, how
much less audacity will it require to as
cribe to the Whigs the non-fulfilment of the
late pledges when we have one or two
majority in the Senate. Therefore we are
not sure that the possession of that majority
is at all desirable.
We may expect Capt. Tyler’s last Mess

H, with joyous congratulations to the De
mocracy on their victory over the purly
Hat elected him Vice President, and over
Rne glorious Statesman about: whom, in
K 839, the pusillanimous creature shed tears
sos affectionate regret. We may also ex
pect more about Texas, the only humbug
which he has had the brains ever to invent,
Jlfe which bantling of his own begetting,
though stolen from him and adopted by the
Democracy, he yet loves with an affection
passing his love of the loaves and fishes!
There are two men Who have been promi
j nent in this Republic who will go down lo
j tlie grave arid leave not a regret for their
j departure in any patriot heart—John Ty
per is one of them ! -
THE FATE OF JOHN TYLER.
The Alexandria Gazette says :
fn the general noise and excitement of
the times, when everybody huzzas for some
body or other, we find one public man en
tirely overlooked and forgotten ! Mr. Joint
Tvlor, tho Acting President of the United
States, sinks before his time! Already
“ there are none so poor as to do him rev
erence.” What an end to high hopes and
and cherished purposes! What a fall from
accidental elevation to inevitable obsouri
ty ! But there is a lesson in tho result
which public men ought to study and re.
member. Mr. Tyler himself must often
lament the untoward end of his political
life, and feel justly indignant at the course
of many who fawned upon him for favors
and paid him by ingratitude.
An Elector for Gov. Cass. —The Detroit j
Advertiser of Monday fast, says it hears
that one of the Electors in Michigan “ has
already signified his intention of voting for
Gov. Cass.” We have heard, says the
Buffalo Commercial, rumors of like inten
tions to bolt from the support of Polk in oth
er States than Michigan. Mr. Polk was
notoriously nominated by a fraud upon the
democratic republican doctrine that a ma
jority should rule. N. Y. American.
Three men were at the polls in the town
of Newbury, at the recent election, and vo
ted for Henry Clay, who voted for General
Washington when he was chosen President.
They were Benjamin Colman, aged 93 ;
Silas Little) aged 91, and Aaron Rogers,
aged 89. Boston Atlas.
THE CABINET THAT IS TO BE.
The first keen encounter between the
jockeys and the jockeyed in the last Balti
more Con vention takes place on the ques.
tion of Premier in Mr. Polk’s Administra
tions The Ultra-Texas, onti-TarifF prims
who crushed Mr. Van Buren, mean to keep
.Mr. Calhoun in that position, with an eye
both 10 immediate and ulterior operations.
On the other hand, the old Van Buren wing
of the party are anxious to oust Mr. Cal
holm and put Andrew Stevenson of Virgin
ia in hispiaee. There is no choice be
tween them. Calhoun is more of a man j
and a Statesman ; Stevenson has less ca
pacity for mischief, but is equally hostile to
Protection arid devoted to the Texas iniqui
ty. He was for some years speaker of the
House, commencing in 1827, and afterward
Minister to London, where he got into an
abusive controversy about Slavery with
O’Connell, and came out of it very badly
damaged. As possession is nine points in
law, we think Mr. Calhoun will hold his
post for a while if lie chooses, though he
will ultimately be shuffled out of it. He is
too strong a man to ho relished as chief ad
viser by a weak President.
The second post —that of Secretary of
the Treasury ; will he claimed by and
conceded 10 Now York, and will be given
to the man that Van Buren arid Silas
Wright shall designate. Some very green
speculators concede it to Ex-Gov. Marcy,
but that is absurd. Broken down, last-cen
tury politicians are rarely chosen for such
posts. Benjamin F. Butler can hardly j
fail to get it, unless lie should prefer a For- {
eign Mission or some post of less honor and
more cash.
Mr. Robert J. Walker of Mississippi,
will probably be pressed for a place in the j
Cabinet, as he has been the chief engineer
ofthe Texas battery. He may be put offj
with a U. S. Judgeship or a Mission if it lie j
inconvenient to seat him in the Cabinet.
New England may and may not be al
lowed a Cabinet Minister. If a subordin
ate post is allowed her, Ex-Governor Mor
ton or George Bancroft will probably (ill it.
Alex. H. Everett, that basest of all loaders
to the McDuffie fanaticism which arrogates
to itselfthe title of “the South,” must have
a bone thrown him, but none so large as
this.
The present Cabinet, with the exception
‘of Calhoun, will doubtless have leave of
absence.— N. F. Tribune.
THE VOTE OF VIRGINIA.
Virginia, the once magnanimous and
high minded Virginia, the native State of
Henry Clay, has cast her vote against him.
We record the fact under a sense of hu
miliation. She has rejected him whose el
oquence has oft commanded the applause
of listening Senates, whose services to his
country as a Statesman arc unequalled by
any of the present generation, and whose
fame has filled the world ; and has inglori
ously bestowed her suffrage on one w hose
character in ali these respects forms a per
fect contrast. By this unworthy preference,
she has done herself no honor, added no
thing to her ancient renown.—The pres
tige which the celebrity of her former he
roes, statesmen and orators, has thrown a
round her name, is fast fading away, if,
indeed, by this last act, it has not forever
departed.
There is a levelling spirit abroad in the
world, which seeks to effect its object, not
by elevating the humble and depressed,
but by striking down all that is elevated,
by degrading all that is excellent. Supe
rior wisdom and worth are no longer a pass
poreto public favor. Commanding talents,
eminent qualifications for high office, seem
to constitute an obstacle in the way of its
attainment. Past services, abilities farther
to serve, go for nothing.
These indeed, as someone has observed
before, are the days of little things ; and we
may add, this couutry the paradise of little
men. Intellectual giants there are in the
land, hut they arc consigned, by the popu
lar fiat, to the shades of obscurity ; while
dwarfs and pigmies are exalted to the high
est places of dignity and trust. —[Frcdricks-

THE RESULT OF THE RESULT
All ilie world over, tho Stock market has j
for a century afforded an unerring be-, j
rpmeter of the confidence entertained by |
the most intelligent and enterprising in the I
wisdom and policy of anew ruler. Jf his
accession is followed by a deolifie in stocks,
it is known that those accustomed to study
causes and effects and to foresee the end
front life beginning, believe him incapable,
or committed to some dangerous error of
polioy calculated to work mischief to the |
country. On the other hand, l%t a Napo- j
lean or Louis Philippo grasp the sceptre,
and tho general anticipation of stability
and prosperity induces a buoyancy and ad
vance in the Stock Market. It is not there
fore, for the sake of stocks, or of those in
terested in stocks, that these indications
are mainly important; hut because the
fluctuations of tho Stock Market are in this
case closely allied with the rise or fall of
every thing else.
There is a great deal of absurd railing
and peevishness in the Polk journals with
regard to tho undeniable consequences of
lliefr triumph. That Stocks do fall, that
Enterprise is paralyzed, and Business,
brought to a stand, while Property whose
value depends on the continued progress
and prosperity of the country, is depressed
and rendered unsalable—these are facts
which will not bend to the needs of faction.
If the success of Clay or Polk had boon a
matter of indifference to Business, then the
bare termination of the contest, with its
uncertainties and distractions, would have
been followed by an advance of prices
flow different is the result, we need not
say.
Now it answers no good purpose to rail
at capitalists and business men for their
timidity. Facts prove that the discourage
ment is not confined to one party. If the
Polk men of our city believed their triumph
i would be auspicious to the pecuniary in
terests of the country, they could very ea
sily hold up stocks and they would, do it.
Only convince cne-fbunh of our moneyed
men that stocks or property will rise with
in a few months, and they would not be al
lowed to droop now. Few men allow their
politics to stand in the way of their making
money; and we never yet knew one man
to refuse, for political efiect, to buy stocks
or property to-day that he felt confident
would rise to-morrow. Who ever did know
the like? And yet we have heard capital
ists abused for stopping the erection of
factories, machine shops, &c., by their !
neighbors who had shouted themselves
hoarse over the election of Polk & Dallas
as a staggering blow to our manufacturers,
is not this the extreme of inconsistency ?
The vital truth is, that our whole intelli
gent people, no matter of what polities, do
clearly understand that the prosecution of
the avowed projects of Locofocoism must
lead to disastrous convulsions in business.
Iflhe protective features of the tariff are
destroyed, labor must find a diminished de
mand and reward; business must languish;
internal improvements prove less active
and profitable; and our curiency, by the
abstraction of specie to pay for foreign
goods, must become contracted or unsound.
If annexation is p'ressed, we shall be in
volved in hostilities with Mexico, and per
haps not with her alone, which will cripple
our commerce, and derange the industrial
machinery of the country. And if the
Sub-Treasury scheme is to bo forced on the J
country, a currency contraction and busi
ness revulsion from this source alone, are
inevitable.
—But, apart from the specific projects of
evil to which the coining Administration
stands committed, there is that in the very ]
[spirit and attitude of the triumphant party
w hich is bitterly inimical to confidence and
prosperity. It is the party of Social An
archy. It has triumphed by appealing to
the worst feelings oft lie human heart. The
envy of property by the destitute, the hatred
of thrift by the prodigal, the discontent
with their position of the unfortunate—these
are the strings which have been fingered
with Satanic dexterity to defeat the Whigs
in Our late contest. -The Rich against the
Poor!’ ‘Down with the Aristocrats!’ —
‘Down with the bloody British Bank Whigs!’
these and many like them are the war-cries
which have animated, infuriated the mot
ley host mustered under the banners of
Polk and Dallas. The poor have been
taught by the Ely Moores and Tom Nich
olses of Locofocoism to regard the rich as
their natural enemies, and wealth as the
spoil of poverty by cunning. These are
the cankerous wounds indicted on the body
politic which cause it to reel and totter—
these are ‘bloody instructions’ which, the
poet says, ‘oft return to plague th’ inven
tor.’ If the means hy which the victory
has been won, and the feelings which have
been implanted by the winners in the
breasts of their instruments, could all be
effaced to-day, perhaps the business of the
country might recover from the calamitous
effects of,Mr, Clay’s defeat. As it is, our
hopes of continued prosperity are faint in
deed.
The Last Case. —We were highly amus
ed the other day, at hearing the crier of our
Court, calling his own name at the door,
and when informed that it was himself that
was wanted, requested the Court to “ hold
on a minute” until he got throngh with cal
ling “ Mister Thomas Smith,” after which
he announced to the Court, that “ Mister
Smith don’t answer, sir.” He had been so
accustomed to hearing himself called
“ Torn,” that he did not know his own-tytme
when it appeared in full “with the trim
mings,” and “Mister” appended on one end
ofit, —a predicament in which he had prob
ably never before seen it in his life time.

I DORRISM IN THE ASCENDANT, j
The New York Courier ij- Enquirer has ,
| the following:
“On several occasions, during the (-an ;
j vgss, we called attention to the radicalism
| which has always formed the basis of tho

tlavary us a permanent institution in the
Soil of Pennsylvania, will not speedily be
Soon after the result of the
election was made known, a crowd of Lo
icofocos waited upon Mr. Dallas, at his resi
■donee, and he addressed them in a speech,
of which tho following is given as an ex
tract, in a letter from Philadelphia, to tlie
Providence Herald :
“‘Governor Dorr! It gives me great
pleasure to be aide to speak a word for that
good man, who has suffered so much in the
I ofthe people of his country. [Cheers.]
Since the formation of our Government, the
present is the first time that any State has
disgraced the Union, by the imprisonment of
a man for his political opinions; and although
1 will not speak in harsh terms of the gen
eral action of the opposing political party, |
I cannot, in this instance, withhold from i
denouncing, in the most emphatic terms, j
the cruel conduct of the ruling party in j
Rhode Island, in relation to their treatment \
of.Mr. Dorr. [Great cheers.] And 1 hope
and trust that the day is at hand, when the
mighty voice of indignation will be heard
in such terms as will break asunder the
bars and bolls of his prison house, and set
the NOBLE PATRIOT FREE.’
“Another report of this speech repre
sents Mr. Dallas as having prophesied that
“the time was not far distant when Mr.
Dorr would be liberated, and raised to the
highest honors, for bis fearless advocacy of
the rights of mankind, and the sufferings
lie had endured in hi half of the people.”
Mr. Dallas here asserts that Mr. Dorr is
imprisoned for his political opinions. We
have not the slightest hesitation in saying
that when he made this assertion, Mr.
Daltas knew it to be false. He could not I
not have been ignorant of the fact, that Mr. !
| Dorr was arrested, tried, convicted and
punished for certain acts, and not fur opin
ions—for having taken up arms in opposi
tion to the Government, of Rhode Islam! —
for having soofaX forcibly to overthrow the
Constitution of that State, and for having
organized a military force to accomplish
his purposes. Are these things opinions ?
Is leveling cannon against tho Government
of a State nothing more than an opinion?
With precisely tlie same show of reason
might Mr. Dallas say that murderers are
hung for their opinions on the subject of
homkitk , or that Monroe Edwards is now
imprisoned for his opinions concerning the
unequal distribution of property. The
pretence is utterly groundless. Mr. Dal
las knows perfectly well that Mr. Dorr is
undergoing the punishment of an act —the
penalty of a crime against the State —of
deeds, and not of opinions. There are
some hundreds of persons in Rhode Island,
who entertain the same political opinions
with Dorr; why, then, aie not they likewise
imprisoned ? Simply because they were
not guilty of his crime, —they did not com
mit the act of w hich he was convicted, and
for which he was punished.
“ Mr. Dallas avows himself a political
adherent of Dorr, and predicts that this con
victed conspirator will one day be raised lo
the highest office in the gift of the people, not
for fitness,not for any special qualifications,
but solely on account of tlie crime, (not o
pinion,) which has consigned him to the
penitentiary. Declarations like this might
be alarming* were they not too common.—
As it is, they are well calculated to arrest
the serious attention of every one, who has j
the slightest conception of the nature of true
liberty or the slightest conception of the
nature of true liberty or tlie least prefer
ence fur law and order, over anarchy
and confusion. Dorr’s conduct is justi
fied solely by the right of revolution. —
Its vindication necessarily asserts the right
of the mass of the people, as a mass and
not as members of a government whenever
they see fit. They need pay no regard to
law, to the-enactments of the constituted
legislature, or to forms of any kind. The
people of any State have the right at will,
to abolish their legislature, abrogate their
constitution, and rule themselves as they
please, without the slightest regard to es
tablished and legalized forms, and at such
a time, in such a way, under such regula
tions and within such limits as they see fit.
The fines of a map, of course, have no
more binding significance than the laws of
the statute book. The inhabitants of a
county are as much at liberty to revolution
ize, as those of a State. Any town may
follow the example; the people of any
school district enjoy the same natural right
of rebellion, and in fact every individual,
upon these principles, has the right to re
ject all government and set up a State on
his own hook! Absurd as is the conclu
sion, it results logically and necessarily
from the principles ofthe Dorr rebellion, o
penly avowed by Mr. Dallas. They strike
the death-blow to every thing like govern
ment. No constitution, based upon them,
could endure an hour. Laws would not
be worth the parchment on which they are
written. If true to their creed, even the
party organized in rebellion could-not hold
together a single day. And vet tlmse are
the doctrines openly professed by the man
j just elected Vice President of the of the U
j nited States !”

The Infidel in a Gale. — During the. late ;
gale on Lako Erie, the steamer Robert !
Fulton among many other vessels was!
wrecked.
On hoard that boat, as was related by a !
passenger and published in the Religious j
Herald, was an Infidel, with a box of books |
to distribute at the West. He was loud j
and clamorous in proclaiming hisinlidelity, ;
till the gale came on hut then, like the
rest, he was silent, and waited with trem- j
bling anxiety the uncertain fate ofthe ship.
At length they drew near the shore, and at
tempted to throw out their anchors, when ,
the whole forward part of tho boat broke
off, and the wave# rushed into the cabin. — ,
At once the infidel was on his knees crying 1
for mercy—his voice could be heard above
the raging elements, begging the Lord to j
forgive his blasphemies, till a heavy sea
swept over the deck, and carried him and
his books to the bottom.

in St. Domingo, 38,000,000 lbs.; in Porto

French Colonies, 4,000,000 lbs.; and in
i the Dutch West Indies, 3,000,000 lbs.;
making the grand total, 450,000,000 lbs.
It is worthy of remark that of this immense
quantity, wo can scarcely estimate above
50,000,000 lbs. as being the produce of

Emigration to Texas. —We learn from
the Clarksville (Texas) Northern Standard [
of the 30th ult. that 225 wagons were late

j Doaksville, on their way to Trinity county,
‘Texas. That paper says : “ Even now as

from Green county, Illinois.
From the Tuscaloosa Monitor.
The opinion of the Supreme Court of Al- j
abaina in our paper to-day, settles an im- :
portant principle in relation lothe validity j
ofthe ibrms without the legal sanctions of ;
marriage. The question presented by the j
record was whether such a conspiracy had
been proved as was punishable by law.—
Several persons combined to accomplish a
wicked purpose.—They forged a marriage
license, showed it to the young lady and
her parents, as evidence of the good faith
of the suitor ; and one of his associates
falsely represented himself to be a justice
of the peace, authorized to perform the
rites of matrimony, whereupon the consent
was yielded, and the usual ceremony was’
repeated by the pretended magistrate. Af
terwards, the client was detected, and the
parties to it were indicted for conspiracy.
The only one found was tried and convict
ed in the circuit court of Butler. On
points reserved as novel and difficult, the j
Supreme Court has delivered an opinion af
firming the judgement below and indicating
by the numerous authorities cited, the mar
riage, being a civil contract, isvaiid where
the persons united declare their intention
to be husband and wife in a formal manner
in the prest nee of witnesses, even though
no marriage license has been obtained, nor
tlie usual ceremony administered by an au
thorized person. This will open tlie eyes
of those who sometimes in levity undergo
a mock ceremony of marriage.
Naturalization Frauds. —At the recent
term of the United States’ District Court in
Pittsburgh, twenty-four bills of indictments
were found, and among them fifteen for per
jury and subornation of perjury, in obtain
ing naturalization papers. Seven were a- i
gainst one individual, four for perjury and 1
three for subornation of perjury, and one
each against eight others, all foreigners i
and members of the Loeofoco partv.
