Washington, Noveip.ter 22, IS4O.
All Washington is preparing fcjir the Congres
sional campaign, which opens on jllo-iday, the 7th
of December. The Message —wVfcclfi for obvious
reasons, will be looked to with arr, re iireir and
general interest than any that ha ever emanate!
from Mr. Van Boren, not exceptlc! the memorable
one of the extra session of ‘37—s wi itten ; and
that is all I have to say a out it or the present.
What it contains has not been alio ved to transpire
beyond the Cabinet, to whom it has. however,
been submitted. So you are yet !el t to co your own

increased, ar i there are judications of a still great

j ha- been offered, that Banks have sought piper

there is a greater call, ani they are no longer obli

Wholesome Lessons.
The subjoined communication in reference to

lof the people and those of the spoilers is from
! the New York American of Tuesday. Well
and truly may it be said, there have oven some
wholesome lessons icad to ccaain prominent in
dividuals —wholesome, emphatic, «ud never to
be forgotten ! That paper says:
There have- been some r. hob some read
to various prominent individuals by the rt suh* < (
the laic Election.
To begin wi h the two candidates for the Presi
dency. While Gen. Harrison was decried by
i bis adverse r: •«*, as a weak, mi purposed old man,
1 without merit in his past life, nr power at pres
ent to eitoa rny g '- d, the people tvtry ichrrt
have preferred him over even the most favored
and best known candidate of their own imsnefii
j ale vicinity. In Ohio, great »s is CorwinVpop-
I ularily, and great es is his maji rity, it i t gur
! pa*seti by thousands by that of the Harrison
I e ectors 8-i in Massachusetts wlierc honest
I John Davies has carried fie State hy acclama
j tion; as it were, sa Governor, the vote tor th»*
Harrison electors considerably exceeds even lint
cast for this, herwc-U deserving and favorite son.
And the same thing is true in every Sta»e from
which we have returns.
On the conirary Mr. Van Boren, every where,

So again, in New Jersey. The usurping five
went to the people on the issue that they, Rep
resentatives without a certificate of election,
were more truly the' Representatives of the State
than tnose who had the certificate duly authenti
cated by the Great Seal of the State. The true ;
Five joined is-us with them, and the people have
decided by an unprecedented majority for the
Seal, for right, for law- In each county where
one of the usurping five resides, he has been sig
nally rebuked, and by the Sia’e at large, the pre
tension that they are its legitimate Representa
tives, was effectually dissipated.
Who, after this shall say, that the people arc
not discriminating, or that honesty and truth are
not. in public os in private File, the best policy,
as well as the surest road to enduring popularity?
The Effect on Trade.
The Nrvv York Times of Saturday oflcrnoon
savs—‘*The foreign advices appear to hare had
little effect upon general business. Although a
slight decline in cotton had obtained on the other
side, yet the stock here is so small (loss than
1000 bales) and consequently the operations are
so limbed, there being almost nothing doing lor
export, that no perceptible effect has been observ
ed. Flour continues dull, and slocks increasing.’’

Oct. 29, 1640.
The election of Gen. William H. Harrison as
President of the United States, by a triumphant
majority of the States, end an overwhelming
majority of the people of the United States—a
majority eo derisive as to put cavil out of the
question, and to demonstrate beyond a doubt, the \
potency of the popular will in his favor—ought
to bring as a natural result, ar d consequence,
peace, ca!mpe«s, and rest to the nation. The j
whole subject of the Presidentship having been j
actively canvassed for two years, with an unpre
cedented urgree of excitenr. nt, the public, in con
clusion. with unprecedented unanimity, have de- j
cided against the Administration, and in favor of
the newly-choscn Chief Magistrate. Men and I
measures, on the one side, have been condemned
totally and entirely, and m* n and measures, on
the other, as completely upheld. Now, then, let
the popular voice be respected, the will of the
pcoplo be acquiesced in, the public judgment re
garded. G:re the new Administration a fair and
impartial trial. To announce, in advance, after
what has taken place, a determination to put the
elements at' political* strife again in commotion,
would be to show a spirit of factions opposition
--an opposition designed to thwart and resist the
! wishes of the people. Gen. Harrison will not be
a candidate for rc-clection. At (he end of four
j years he will voluntarily lay aside his office and
his honors, and go once more, and forever, into
the bosom of retirem nt. During those four
years, he will devote him-elf to the coon or his
country. Let us a!!, then, unite in sustaining
the patriot hero in his honest and praisewor*
j thy efforts. —Alexandria Gazette.
Loss or the Steamer Flying Dutchman. —
'I he steamboat Wilmington, arrived yesterday,
| reports the Flying Dutchman sank at Dead-man’s
j Bar, w.ih two hundred tons of freight, princi
, pally sugar, ail of which is lost. The hull* of the
i boat was broken in f ee places. She is said to

v, iiirt of Aamiralty became vacant when ho was
an infant of six months old, and it was actually
retained for him until he was capable of officiat
ing; the duties being performed by deputy. In
the time of war hip emoluments from bis office
amounted to between $336,000 ana 384,000.
Important Rumor. —We find the following
in the New York Commercial Advertiser of the
I Cth :
There is a report in circulation which we do
not for a moment credit, but which may by pos
sihility be true. Since the overthrow of the ad
ministration is so tremendous, it is beginning to j
be whispered that Mr. Van Buren may now so j
arrange matters as to prevent any Jvolcs being i
ca p t for him. and then assume the position that ;
he was not a candidate ! This, it is said, may
consistently be done, because ho has never writ
ten any letter accepting the Baltimore nomina- J
tion. He would then, it is surmised, throw him- i
seif upon the democratic ground that no Ptosi- t
• dent might to he re-elected. His friends would
then assume that attitude, and bring him forward j
for the succession after General Harrison’s teim
of service expires. All this is plausible, but not
probable. As well might Napoleon have retriev
ed himself a f ter the battie of Waterloo, as Mr. '
Van Buren recover from the unprecedented over
throw he has experienced at the hands of the
people.
An Example.
The N. Y. Sun states that one of the clauses
of the statute regulating railways in Great Britain
enacts that it shall be lawful for any cnc in the
employ of a railway company, and ail such per- 1
sons as he may call to his assistance, to seize and
detain any engine driver, porter or other servant
in the employ of any company, who shall be
found drunk while employed upon the railway,
or commit any offence against any of the regula
tions of said company ; or shall do oi omit to do,
any act whereby any person passing on such
. railway may he injured or endangered, or where
by an engine or carriage may be impeded.
Col. Johnson's old distrust in Kentucky.
—The Vice President has. been traversing Ohio.
Michigan, and Indiana during the late Presiden
tial campaign, exhibiting himself in the discour
teous attitude of claiming more credit for his con
duct at the Thames than history warrants, and
attempting to lessen the claims of his Command-'
cr-in-Cbief. In all these Slates Ills conduct has
rather added to the Whig vote, whilst, in the
j mean time, his own Congressional district in
| Kentucky, where Mr. Van Buren obtained a
; majority of more than 1,000 in 183 G, has given
j him the slip, and shows a majority for MarrUon
jof 2.51. In Scott, his own county, Mr. Van Bu
, ren only received a majority of 85. In oilier
day* this county has l>een good for so 600
i majority fur Col. Johnson —Alexandria Gazette.
Two persons were instantly killed a short time

The British Parliament.
We hear much of the misbehaviour of Araeri-
I can Legislative bed.es; and truly there have ucen
j s’phps in Congress ar i the Legislatures of the ,
Stales not at ail honorable to those concerned. —
• But, as a general rule, American Legislators bear
a contrast well, even with the Parliament of the
mother country. Whether or not it is owing to
the peculiar influence of our institutions we need
' not say, but there can be no doubt of the fact,
that we have improved materially upon the ex
ample set across the water.
We have been led to these reflections by the
remarks of a European correspondent of the
Now York American, who writes from London
under date of Oclobc- last, as follows:
admirer of genius, eloquence, and states
- manship, must fee! a thrilling mtrrc=t in treading
the Hails of the Houses of Parliament. The
American who enters the House o; Commons,
will not fail to remember it was within its walls
thatChariiam uttered lh-»se sublime denunciations
of the Pri'.i-h Ministers, on account of their treat
ment of the American Co.onies pending .he Re- i
vointionarv Wai—the present House haring been
the old House of Lords. “The tapestry which
adorns these walls,” so eloquently alluded to by
the great Commoner in his repudiation of the tom
ahawk, is now ol ?nt il having been destroyed
by the memorable fire of 1834. I was prepared
to ?ce a mr n room; totally different from het in
which the Representatives of the American peo
pic “make speeches for Buncombe.” But. I wav
disappointed. It would not be tolerated as a
town-hail m many portions of New England—
certainly i= for inferior to the Legislative Halis
ol either of flic States I ! ,-ive visited. There are
four rows of benches • ;i each side, raising one ;
above the other by a slight elevation, with vvood
en back, and plain leathern cushions. On each
side, arc long l av galleries for the reception of I
members—r.o’ * ... P , Tt} ircly occupied—“hon
orable gentle men” preferring to lounge in tbcco -
fee and chop rooms near the Hall, where they can
discuss beef-steaks and champaigne, while fte .
Ministerial and Opposition leaders within the bar, !
discuss the affairs of India and the Canadas.—
There are often very ludicrous scenes in the
House, caused by these chop-eating Commoners.
They arc disignaU.d os “the voting member*.” —
a sort of fail to Lord John Kusseii and Sir Robert
Peel.—When they become anxious to leave the
House for the night, or arc tired with tne present I
debate, they pour into the galleries, and by loud ;
cries of “’rimel” “lb idc!” “Vote!”—and by j
coughing, shuffling, ironical cries of Hear 1
Hear I” mingled wiih cheers.-oon bring the ques
tion to an is-ue. i h*; gentu-maii cn Sis leg?.” I
suddenly i lo?(s his The cries of “Di- ,
vide!” Divide!” ara row deafening. Should;
any luckless wight rise to address a question to
the chair, shouts of “Time I I ime I I Time ! ! I”
would soon .send, him back to his scat. —By dint
of noise, the point is carried- The speaker or
ders the strangers to withdraw—the chop and
champa'gn'j entities follow their respective lea
ders into the div iriun ro ms—the rc-ult is soon
announced from the chair—the vi toriouschop
eaters, as in duty bound, cheer most lustily at
their success, while lheir*defeated brethren, hap
py in being left loose for the night, join most
heaitily in the rounds of applause, 'i'nis is no
caricature. I was :n the House a few evenings
since, v hen the Iris i Registration bill was under
discussion, which Mr. O'Connell denounced as
a oiil to trample on the liberties of Ireland. The
scene beggared ail description.—Whistling, shou
ting. bellowing, stamping, clapping, laughing,
min cried «it h loud crinw o- “Oh! ’ * Order! ” made
she Hail to ring again. I have attended the most
boisterous of our political mreiiiig? in New "iork:
and with very few exceptions, I never witnessed
, a more turbulent half hour tha/n that on this occa
sion. When a division is u nexpectedly called
tor, the scene is equally amusing though less:
noisy. The file leaders of the two parlies sud
denly dart oct of the grjiitrx doors and scour the
lobbies, the chop-houses, the wine rooms, and all
the lounging places, to wi re! trie absentees into ,
( line. They pour in at the side doors and the
main rntrar.ee in crowds, quite filling the Hall,

Derby, September, 1840.
As wc approached Nottingham 'pen route from

plains over which we bad been journeying for ■
ten days, and hills and values once more blessed !
our eyeWe leok a hurried glance at this l'u- j
sy town (Nottingham intending to inspect its
curious lace manufactories on our return through
il to Nawstead Ab :y. Passing a shop-window
a picture of a la-gc building on fire, surrounded
!by a mob, arrestea cur attention. Underneath
was written. “Nottingham Castle, as it anpenr
icd t n the night of Oct. 31, 18oi.” We re- ;
paired tollic spot. It was a steep hi!!, vriro?c i
summit looked down upon the entire of the 100.-
j 000 inhabitants below. Its perpendicular ledge [
j of rocks on the side away from ike town, com- ’
' mandod a prospect far and wide over the plains I
towards Leicester and Derby. The riv?r Trent I
and the Nottingham Canal were leisurely satin- :
tering through the landscape, and the eye traced \
the line of the London railway for miLs as an ’
unto led map. On the brink of the precipice j
stood the smoked ruins of a modern Castle, once
a costly and noble edifice. The guide began,
“ On this spot, in 1070. William the Conqueror
erected” . “Too far back by 700 years,”
said I, halt out of breath from climbing—“ cur
dinner is cooling at the hotel; and beside?, we
shall loose the Derby cars.” The fellow cleared
his throat and began again. “On this spot, in
1070, William the Conqueror .” I broke
: in. Tell us about the present casde —who owns
' it—how il took fire, and when.” ‘I am going
to, -Sir,” said he and resumed his oratorical pos
ture, commenced. “On this spot in 1070 .”
■; “ Don’t disturb the dust of William the Conqocr
; or,” responded I, “and do toil us about buil
ding.” Ho stared at me as if he supposed there
■ was no doubt of my insanity, and turning to my
companion,resumed—“On this spot, in 1070.
