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 We have 12 Whig Aldermen, (the entire board,) by decided majorities in all the wards, and we have superceded the o’d city Con stable, (a Van Buren man,) by the election of M. E. De Grove, (Whig.)

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. Destructive Fire at Quebec. —The Quebec Mercury of Thursday publishes an account of a very destructive fire at that place, the amount of damage by which is estimated at $120,000. Maine Election.

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 amount to be advanced to the State at this time is $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. ELECTION RETURNS. HARRISON.

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. I __ > Steam lioat Accident.
