CITY ELECTION HARRISON VICTORY.
The municipal election on Saturday turned, as
we apprehended, from the movements of our op
ponents, it would turn, upon National politics, and
the result is, the Whig ticket prevailed in EVERY
WARD in the city !
We have a WHIG MAYOR by the triumphant
majority cf 19S. We have 12 Whig Aldermen,
(the entire board,) by decided majorities in all the
wards, and we have superceded the o’d city Con
stable, (a Van Buren man,) by the election of M.
E. De Grove, (Whig.) The sweep was thorough,
and the single exception of the city Consta-
Jdirectly made on the Presidential question,
ashville Whig.

The Philadelphia Inquirer of the Bth says:—
Stocks were rather better yesterday. U. S. Bank
left off at 65* ; Girard at 39|. We learn with
pleasure that the resumption movement is progres
sing, and in a highly salisfacton- manner. All ihe
banks in the city and county but three agree to as
sist the Un.tcd States Bank, and scarce a doubt ex
ists as to the successful consumation of this im
portant measure. The impression grows stronger
every day hat a general resumption of specie pay
ments will take place on the part of all the banks
of Philadelphia, on the 15th of January ensuing.

A Signin' Kentucky.—The Louisville Journal
of Wednesday last says : “ Some of the Locofocos
circulated a story on Tuesday that there was a man
in the city who was prepared to risk $5,000 on
Van Buren’s re-election. A large number of
Whigs forthwith commenced hunting him with
candles and lanters, but, up to last evening, the
hunt had proved ineffectual.”.
Council Proceedings.
Council Chamber, ?
Thursday, 3 o’clock, P. M. Oct. 8, 1840. S

The following communication from the Board of
Health was read, received, and ordered to be pub
lished.
The Board of Health respectfully report that the
city continues free from epidemic or contagious
diseases. Whilst the surrounding country has
been severely scourged by fever our city has en
joyed almost uninterrupted health. During the
past month, which in our climate is usually the
most sickly, the deaths ii the city have only
amounted to ten whites, of whom only two were
fiom fever, and ten blacks, seven of whom were
children. The past season has satisfactorily dem
onstrated the healthfulness of Augusta, and leaves
no room for doubt but that by due care on the part
1 of the city authoiities, this character will be sus
tained. The Board have had under consideration
the proper mode of disposing of the c * trash” of the
city, and have arrived at the conclusion that the
present method employed is decidedly the best of
any of those which have been suggested. The
Hoard deem it unnecessary to hold any more regu
lar meetings, and will this day adjourn to meet
hereafter only upon the call ol the Chairman.
On motion executions were ordered to be issued
on all taxes due and unpaid on the Ist of Novem

posals having boen received by the Executive

$1,156,000.
“ No Changes.”
Since the changes from Van Buren to Harrison
began to come in by hundreds, we have discontin
ued noticing them altogether. Os their common
ness an idea may be formed from the fact that last
week wc laid by for future publication a Card sign
ed by “ ONE HUNDRED AND ELEVEN” of the
voters of Washington county in this State, who
supported Van Buren In 1836, and now declare
their intention to vole for Harrison, Tyler and Cor
win. and did not again think of it till day before
yesterday, when our eyes fell upon the following
account of “ ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY” m
Ihe New-York Times of the 21st.
One hundred and sixty Van Buren men in the
county of Lewis have publicly “ dissolved the
political relations which bound them” to the loco
foco party. Among the names of the secedcrs are
those of John W. Martin, First Judge of the County
and Postmaster at Martinsburgh, Gen. Geo. D. Reg
gies, a former Jackson member of the Assembly,
. and many other leading democrats. “So we go.”
Cincinnati Gazette.
Novel Rat-Trap.—-A correspondent has sent
us the lollowing account of a newly invented rat
trap, which has already been used with success,
lake a barrel and stretch a skin of parchment
over it with a string ; cut it across and athwart,
nearly to the outside. Take some dripping, and
mix it with meal; smear it on the middle of the
parchment. Ihe rats will smell it. and treading
on the parchment it will give vvay, and they will
tall into the water in the barrel. Put a pLnk for
. them to creep up to the barrel’s brink outside, and
1 s * rew some oatmeal on it. You must not let the
water be too deep, but set a brick endways in it,
anuihe first rat that is caught will-make a noise,
vv hich will entice mare, so that they will fioffit for
1 P OS0 ® sion of the brick, and the noise will draw
others. Thus in one night the house may be clear
ed ol rats, be they ever so many. Mice and other
vermin may be caught in a similar manner.

Another Gathering of Thousands !
NEW TORK STATE CONSERVATIVE CONVENTION.
The Conservative State Convention (savs the
Albany Evening Journal) at Auburn, closed a se
ries of the most brilliant and cheering demon
strations of peculiar sentiment. Upwards of
FIFTEEN THOUSAND DELEGATES were
present.
The Delegates to the Convention assembled in
the large Babtist Meeting House at ten o’clock.
Gen. James Tallmadge, formerly a distinguished
member of Congress and the Legislature, who
was elected Lt. Governor in 1824, in taking his
seat as temporary Chairman, made a brief but
most appropriate Address. Robert Haight, Esq.
of Rochester, and Henry W. Wicks, Esq., of
New York, acted as temporary Secretaries.
Col. John Lorimer Graham of New York, re*
ported the names of the officers of the Conven
tion, at the head of which was the venerable Gen.
Pierre Van Cortland, a Jeffersonian elector of
President and Vice-President in 1800, who was
conducted to Ihe Chair, and after returning his
acknowledgements for the honor conferred, took
his seat as the President of the Convention.
At one o'clock the Procession formed in front
of the American and proceeded, with Music and
Banners, through a dense throng of People to
the Green in front of the Theological Seminary,
where a staging was erected for the officers of
the Convention and the speakers, in front of
which a large number of ladies were sealed.
“ The gathering of the States” was sung with
fine effect by Mr. Covert. Col. Graham then in
troduced the Hon. N. P. Tallmadge to the people
who, after the acclamations ceased, congratula
ted his fellow citizens upon the briglhened and
hrightningauf-pices of their cause, and then gave
way to our distinguished guest, that independent
Virginia Statesman, the Hon William C. Rives, ;
who was welcomed to the stand by as hearty
cheers as ever rent the air.
Mr. Rives spoke tor three hours and forty min
utes. His speech was a clear, strong and power
ful exposition of the abuses and wrongs which
a wicked Administration has inflicted upon the
Country and the People. He fully sustained
the high reputation which preceded him. He is
a bold and fearless champion ot the Republican
principles of the Constitution—an eloquent and
*‘ uncompromising” opponent of Van Bnrenism,
Benlonism, and Calhounism, in all the forms and
phrases they may assume. He regards the strug
gle as one of momentous interest—as one which
is either to terminate in Despotism, or to secure
to the People for another century the blessings of
Republicanism.
When Mr. Rives closed, Mr. Lcgare, the dis
tinguished Statesman, the ripe Scholar and de
voted Patriot from Soutn Carolina, was loudly
called for, and though late, he was induced to
come forward. His speech was one of intense
and thrilling interest.
When Mr. Lcgare closed, Edward Sanford,
Esq., rea J a series of strong resolutions and an
able address, which were adopted. Mr. Hoxie
then sung two patriotic songs, after which the
Convention, at 9 o’clock P. M. adjourned. Ma
ny thousand people among whom were several
hundred ladies, listened with untiring interest,
for seven hours.
Ihe people, still anxious to hear, repaired by
thousands to the American Hotel, in front es
which there was speaking, songs, music and fire
works, without the slightest abatement of inter
est, until nearly two o’clock in the morning!
I he Convention was strong in numbers, in en
thusiam, in confidence, and strong in its Demo
cratic character. The men who carr.cd the State
for Andrew Jackson, and who carried it for Van
Buren, were there, prepared for the exertion of
renewed energies to put down an Administra
tion that has “ run off the Republican track.”
This Convention numbered thousands who sus
tained Gen. Jackson and voted for Mr. Van Bu
ren. They have been forced either to abandon
him or sacrifice their principles and consent to
the ruin of themselves and the country. Some
left the ranks of the Destructives, when, in his
Extraordinary Message to Congress, he virtual
ly told the People to take “care of themselves.”
Others have dropped off, from time to time, as
oppression galled or corruption roused them, un
til their number is Legion.
Gen. Harrisox asd the Farming Inter
est. — There has been so much wastefulness,
corruption, and bad management in the National
Administration for the last four years, that the
PEOPLE have made up their minds to try a
man from among themselves, a PRACTICAL
AND PATRIOTIC FARMER. Hear what
General Harrison said of the farming interest on
the floor of Congress 14 years ago :
“The policy of the country was, in his opin
ion, to lessen the expenses of agriculture, and to
remove, if possible, the difficulties with which
the farmers of the country now have to struggle.
HE WAS a FARMER HIMSELF,and he spoke
of those difficulties as one who had experienced
them. HE WAS A FARMER ALONE. He
did not own a bank share in the world, nor had
a farthing invested in mercantile business; but
DEPENDED ALONE ON THE CULTIVA
TION OF THE EARTH FOR THE SUP
PORT OF A LARGE FAMILY. HE FELT
A KINDRED INTEREST IN THE WEL
FARE OF THE AGRICULTURAL CLASS.”
The following Portrait of Mr. Calhoun is
sketched by a master hand—who knows him
well, and a citizen of his own State. It is a pas
sage from an article in the October No. of the
New York Review on the Bankrupt Question,
by Mr. Legare of S. C.
Mr. Calhoun has pursued, though in a man
ner very, characteristic of his intellectual habiis;
substantially the same train of argument. This
Senator is a subtle disputant, quick of percep
tion, ready in reply, hold in paradox, specious in
apology, intrepid to affirm, and skilled in all the
little artifices of verbal distinction. But he wants
some of the most essential attributes of a deep
and philosophical thinker. His head is French,
for its love of preconceived system, and German,
for its tendency to transcendental metaphysics;
but he has neither the practical sense of the for
mer, nor the large, round about, catholic and
comprehensive views, and especially the vast and
diveisified knowledge of the latter. His is
very limited. He would have been a most for
midable champion of a scholastic thesis, in the
days of the “irrefragable” doctors, and might
have figured with Aquinas and Scotus, or with
Roscellinus and P. Lombard. But he lives in
an “age too late” by some five or six hundred
years. The plain rules of inductive logic, the
discredit into which theories a priori and verbal
caviling have been brought by such small wits as
Bacon and Galileo and Newton, are a great im
pediment to such a genius. He disdains all ref
erence to facts taut pis pour les fails , if they
do not happen to square with his system. He
goes always for some broad principle, atul pur
sues the “ high priori road.” These’ princi
ples he, of course, assumes without anv hesita
tion, and he runs them down to their remotest
possible consequences with a most invincible con
tempt of experience and observation. Th e peti
tio princ'pii is his two-edged sword, and it never
was wielded by a more ambidexterous artist.
Not only can he, like Hudibras,
*■ Distinguish and divide,
A hair ’twixt North and Northeast side,
but his whole political life has been a demonstra
tion that he is fuliy a match for that redoubtanle
polemic in the nimble tergiversation which made
the gift doubly precious.
“On both of which he would dispute.
Confute, change hands, and still confute.” I
This sort of mind, which distinguishes the so
phist from the philosopher, is one of the most fa
miliar phenomena of an early stage of intellectu
al developement and progress. It belongs essen
tially to the infancy of science. We have allu-
I ded just now to the scholastic logic of the middle |8
ages. Exactly the same thing occurred in the M
first attempt !of the Greek mind to explain the I
wonderr of nature and of man, by some one first
principle arbitrarily pitched upon, such as fire,
water, earth, etc. and maintained with verbal
subtleties, setting all fact and even intelligence at
defiance.
Every thing for the Office Holdf.us—
Nothing for the People.—Mr. Van Burenin
one of his messages, intimated that the people
expected too much from the Government. Veri
ly it may be said that if the people expect any
thing from this Administration, in the way ot
! relief from the evils which beset them, and as
calculated to further the interests, and better the
condidition of the great body of the community,
they “expect too much.”
But if the Government can do nothing (would
it were worse than nothing!) for the people, it
seems they cannot do enough for the office hold
ers. J hese pels of the administration are fiist
allowed a liberal salary, and then, if a disbursing
officer, allowed a commission on the payment ol
their own salaries! If the people, expect too
much, we submit to their judgement whether this
1 is not doing a little “too much” for the office
1 holders 1 As a proof of what is here said, lake
the following from the New York Courier of
yesterday :—lt appeared on a recent trial *n Bos
> ton, that Mr. Collector Bancroft, of that port,
’ received a commission on the payment of his own
salary to himself. This paying a man for the
trouble of helping himself, is a very ingenious
mode of s veiling the perquisites of a public offi*
1 cer. —Baltimore Patriot.
