THURSDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1844. •v- ■ i •'j ft)T Pay up !—We do not often diihn, as it is not a very agreeable business—but’ it is necessary to remind some of our subscri bers and advertisers, that they owe 11s di vers dollars, which they ought, as honest men, to pay up. Those at a distance will please remit by mail—those in our neigh bourhood, we hope, won’t forget to call and settle. 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 .il v Hcaw en his last /) along short- | 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- burg Herald. From the N. Y. Tribune. 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. Temperance Advocate. “ Never take a newspaper without pay ! ing for it ; It’s the shabbiest act you could j possibly be guilty of.” We saw the above paragraph in one of our exchange papers, a few days since, and would have copied it, but for the fact that some of our subscribers would have had good reason to —‘—blush ! • 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 political oreed-6f(r M. Dallas. Through- ! out his whole political life, he has boon i openly and thoroughly wedded to the most j ultra Jacobinism. His declarations coo- I fern ink the powers of a popular Convert. S tion, in which he boldly asserted that there 1 was nothing within the reach of despotism, t'hioh such a Convention could not do— (hat it had tho power to abolish the right of trial by Jury; to decree the legality ofthe slave trade, and even to establish 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 !” i Punch says that the lOA’s (lowa Indians) now exhibiting in London, are an honest race, and not to be confounded with thc j I 0 U’s, \vho are natives of Pennsylvania, and bear a very opposite character. | Many of our loeofoco counties polled | j more votes at the recent Presidential elec- I tion than they contained white male inhab- j j itnnts, at the .recent census. Thu s Pike, 1 848 adults, polled 929 vott-s ; Monroe, with | ! ‘-'934, .polled 4230 ; Tioga, with 8345, pol- | I fi and with 3500, polled 3G7 I ; Columbia, ! I with 5038, polled 5108, and Potter, with ! 732, polled 791. This bodes unfair play. , Phila. N. Amer. 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. Production of Coffee. —A statement be-” | fore us gives the production of Coffee thro ! ughout the world in tlie year 1843, and I from which it appears that in Brazil the ! quantity was lbs.; in Java, | 140,000,009 lbs.; in Cuba, 45,000,000 lbs; in St. Domingo, 38,000,000 lbs.; in Porto I Rico and Laguayra, 36,000.000 lbs.; in I the British West Indies, 10,000,000 lbs.; in Ceylon, 7,000,000 lbs.; in the East In ; dies and Mocha, 6,000,000 lbs.; in the 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 free labor. Emigration to Texas. —We learn from the Clarksville (Texas) Northern Standard [ of the 30th ult. that 225 wagons were late ly counted between Fayetteville, Ark., and j Doaksville, on their way to Trinity county, ‘Texas. That paper says : “ Even now as ! tve write, four wagons are passing the office 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. nAItK I E D , On Tuesday morning, December 3rd, by the Rev.
