Next .Monday', the 4th of January, is the day appointed to elect a member of Congress to sup ply the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Mr. Colquitt. We regard appeal* to our party as almost unnecessary* Wo have been emphat ically wide awake miring tlie late canvass. Our eye* have been fully opened to the importance of n change in our national council*. Wo have turned out with spirit nud determination to take purl in the contest. Wd huve disregarded the insane cry raised against the brave Hxniusns of abolitionism, a cry which parly presses still keep up. We huve laughed at the old,worn out,thread bare sophistries invented for twelve years past iu the Globe office at Washington, we havo cast about seriously and resolutely, determined to cor rect evils which wo knew to exist and we have carried our point so fir. But it has been only by dim of courage and perseverance and hard work that we have routed the Macedonian Phalanx of otlice holders. Their barriers aud defences have been overthrown aud we are fairly behind their intrcnchmcnts—a id there we intend to stay for year* to come, maugre tlie wry faces and rabid discontent of our opponents.' It is necessarily unpleasant for those who cainc into office twelve years ago on “ rotation in qfice system" to bo re volved tint. It i* a sad tiling for those who have enjoyed tho. '• Soul's calm sunshine nnd the heartfelt joy” of being in a majority for so long n time to be compelled to wauderlika ghosts on the dreary shores of the opposition—far away from the '• glimpses of cheerful day," which emanate from the palace. But these things cannot be helped. We are a part of God's creation, and huve arisen to re dress real grievances. Up then und try it again. We have a good man and true, Htsrr.s ilotT, Esq., of Muscogee, for our candidate, (they cal! him Col. IIor.T iu the up country, where every body has a military title) Let ns scud him’to Congress to help cleanse the Augean Stable. Wo cannot carry out our reform* unless we have a majority iu both Houses of Congrcsv. ooDBtmr* hook* can ho balanced unless ho ftpeii* n “ pnjfit and lose account," charging to it tho excess of debt* o* or erodits. Tho truth is, thht tho Ad ministration hook* havo not keen written up-for a long timo past, hut tho posting is now going on, nnd nbnlnnco *iieot will bo in readiness for tho public inspection, wo trust, on tho 4th of March next. •" Siiurn caique trihuito" is tlio motto. Let Mr. Woniimmv make (lie best shewing ho can, hula plain honest exhibit ho must make. Tho Fedor- til Party now iu power, propose fo pay off tlmir debt* by anticipating tho ru\eimn of 1841, and is suing promises to pay after the fillt Match next. But It will hu NO GO. Let every otto have iiis just reward—that is lira Whig motto. Tho truth is (lie Whigs do nut believe that tho accounts havo been honestly kept for twelve years past. They think that if they had been, the sundry attempts which huve been undo nt scrutiny by them would not have been repressed. Repeated movements were mmlo in Congress last winter to investigate tlie affairs of tho Treasury, to as certain the exact amount of Treasury Notes mil! but they wero all crushed m the very inception. Ouo motion to this effect was made by a Repre sentative front Georgia,which was voted down on the instant.

DIED, Suddenly at New Orleans, on the morning of the 22d inst. in tho 76th year of his age, Mr. 8. M. Hart, I'otmerly of Charleston, S.C. ffj*The friends and acquaintances of Harmon G. Denison, nre respectfully invited to attend his funeral This Morning, nt 8 o’clock, from the re* •idence of J. Everett in Whitaker street. Mr. Jandoii, who is returned from America in tho President steamer, Im* published an account of tho orrcsU and liabilities nf tho United States Bank of Philadelphia made un to the 1st Oct. last, showings surplus of 3,000,000 dollars. But wo ore sorry lo pereeivo tlin! this document i-t falla cious, and calculated to mislead rather tl.au to enlighten the shareholders and tho public on tho real condition of the Bank. In tlie account pub- lishcd, the biHsdiscoiintcd and tlie Stock Accounts ell nre estimated nw attests for their full amount, without any allowance for depreciation in price nf Stocks, or for bad or doubtful debts on the bills discounted, lhi* last item mnst lie very con siderable, if we take it in the same ratio with tho claim* of the lute Anglo-American firms upon debtors in America; wo should ssv 3/j per cent, on the total *mn of 24 millions of dolLrs was a moderate allowance for contingencies on these bills, many of which are known to lie renewals. The deprecietion on eunal and railway risares nfid other securities constituting the stock account, for thirty million* of dollars, must oho ho lurge. We regret to see this document presented to the public io *o iuipertectH form, nlter-the length of time employed in preparing it, and after we ware promised a fair and honest statement nf the uctn al condition of that institution. H will convey an impression te many persona, (list the real rim- ation of the Hank is too bad to publish to the world.--London Globe, Son. 30/ A "bslancc-rbeet” of the hfikirfl of'the "United States" Bank liusbcen published, hut it is so little better than tliosu of the vnnio kind which linvo prcttertluC it. u» not to li« worth 'printing. Of what arc termed ''aRiests" ,tlu: greater part arc of very doubtful value, and to include under that head the value of vlvfc uinspired term oTtho char ter is nn absurdity. Avery different account must lift prepared before tlm deputation from Remarkable Bill attempted to nE intro duced into the U. S. Senate.—Thomas II. Benton, Senator from Missouri, lately asked leave to introduce into the Senate n Bill to lay n tax on bank notes and other paper money used for circulation iu the Steins tnd Territories. Mr. Huntington said that no sndi bill could originate in the Senate. Mr. Clay oT Alabama, thought that Congress had no right to pass n bill of this nature. Mr. Webster coptpndcd that mo/e re spect ought to be had for tleConstitution than to entertain such a lull in tho Senate. On the mo tion to,rcceivc the bill the yens and nay* were as follows: Vcas—Messrs. Allen, At^hrsnn, Benton, Cal lioun, Clay, of Alabama, ^’itlton.

Bo the hill was rejected, tfltr which Mr, Ben ton withdrew his motion tojniroduce tin; bill. Wc do not hesitate to suy.t^at this is the most remarkable bill which we Inrijhcard of for years past.* A hill a* clearly unconstitutional ns it would he to tax any one State!'or the benefit of the. rest. A bill so odious, so unconstitutional,ho partial, that no plan could bo'Revised more di rcctly aiming uttho integrity oflho State Govern ment than this. Our readers can have a foretaste from the Aspect of this bill of vvlmt would trails* pire, if Mr. JJentoii, Mr. Wright, and Mr. Van Huron, were suffered to^enrry out.their Sub- Treasury doctrines inextensa, And this attack conic* from those who have the CoMtitution eternally on their lips,who nreeter- nnlly prating about tile great power oftho General Government and the sacred rights of the people. It i« surprising that Buch nbonpnnlioni can be boinc with. It is fearful that under the masked battery of a pretended regard for tho Constitu tion aud Laws, tttch monstrous inroads can be mnuc upon tho citadel of our liberties. The States most certainly cun tnx these crea tures of their own, and it looks like n strong in vasion of the right* of tlio Btntos lor Congress to tax then. c!*n. We regard ths proposition n* being of a higher Federal character than any thing wo havo heard nflatoly. Tho rankest Fed eralist# of the old school would open their eyes at it. But it is ail done liy tlio Democrats—so there is no ffinr. Ho we go. Wc call the attention of our renders to the fact that Messrs. Benton, Wright, Wall, Calhoun, Ac- voted together on tliis subject. Heaven preserve the country from demagogue ism. Penmanshit.—The notion that a good hand writing is not n desirable acquisition, has cost many who have adopted it, more thnn they would care to acknowledge. Tho lawyer who writes illegibly, has lost the making of conveyances which he had ample skill to draft; nnd many clerks,of good business capacity,havo failed to se cure employmentou account of (heir deficiency iu this particular. It may be sot down as a small thing, hut lifo is made up of smnll things ^ and a proper attention to these details is requisite lo tho attainment of great objects. . Let all had writer* look at Mr. Aiken’ advertisement, which enay he found in this day’s paper. * 03* The Norfolk Beacon of the 2J>th inst. say#; "There are eight persons oftho highest respecta bility now residing in IlitJ Borough of Norfolk whose aggregate nges make Gf>9 years, nnd the average age in 83 years 7f mc.*:ff.J.

Many persons smoke segars whiln walking the streets; now, independent of conventional it- sago on the subject, this is u)| wrong. To en joy a segnr properly—tho stnokershntild not even lie in the erect position. The effect that the nar cotic weed produce's upon the physical ns well as the mental powers is one of repose, or reverie m one and repose in the other. To ono who hnB reflected upon this all important subject, a street smoker presents quito as hidicrious an appear ance as the urchin who, when his horse ran away commenced repeating the nursery prayer: "now I lay me down to sleep, I pray tho Lord my soul to keep, and if I should die before I wake, I prny the Lord my soul to take." If wo did not feel too ranch real rovcrcnco Tor this good old prayer, wc would trurestic it and put it into the mouth ofa peripatetic smoker, hut if wo have produced the ludicrous impression before the mind’s eye,our purpose has been suf ficiently answered. A man might ns well sloop on his bend, or lie down on his knees nnd elbows, or walk-on his hands, ns to Hinokc in tho erect position. Tho muscular frame is first put into vigorous action and then invited *o tho most luxurious nnd sedu cing repose. This, to say tho least of it. is tan talizing the physical frame; hut tffn mischiefdoo* not stop here. If only tho body performed these curious antics, then the mind might ho supposed to enjoy the fun nt its expense, hut tho spirit i* equally tantalized with its rougher easement. The mind, however, suffers the most in this ridiculous encounter, for while the animal i* waking itself up, stumbling over stock* nnd atones, the caul i* making a wul attempt to com pare itself into a delicious rqverie, into the spirit of which, soft and dulcet coundt such ns the hum ming of bees and thu sighing of vernal breeze*, emer Inrgcly nnd which with the odonr of deli- cion* fruit* and flowers are made to turn soui- morsels with boisterous street along whang—rat ling of wheels—yella of draymen—song* of ate- vedoen and the roar of tlio steamera. Why I it i« enough to drive a real philosophical amoket— one capable of appreciating the delicious weed -rraving mod. Imagine to ylfuselfgentlo reader anch a one invited to take a iiogur mid promenade along one of our omninon thoroughfares ? It would ho equally ns polite nnd quite ns rational to stand him on his bend nnd nsk him to swallow n glass of wine, for in the latter case ho would only havo to- - .vnllow ngainsf the centre of gravi ty, while in the. other lio is invited to dream ns ns 1io walk® along. In tho ono cauo natural law Wo find in Dickens' lum work, tlie.*' Ok! Un- riosity Shop,’’ tho following slv hit at tho law yers :—" A* Doctor* seldom take tlmir own pro scriptions, and Divines do not always practice what they preach, so lawyers aro shy of med dling with the law on their own account, know ing it to bo an edged tool of uncertain applica tion, very exncnsivo in the working, nnd rather remarkable for its properties of close shaving, than for its always shaving tho right person." Netcspapcrs.—M. do Tocqtiovillo. in his “De mocracy of America,” makes mo of tho follow ing fotciblc expression in reference to the impor tance ol newspapers: • "A newspaper can drop the some thought in-, ton thousand minds nt tlm same moment. A newspaper is nn adviser who does not require to he sought, hut who comes to you of his own ac cord,nnd talks lo'you briefly every day of the com mon weal,-without distracting your private af fairs. Newspapers, therefore, become more ne cessary in proportion ns men become more equal, nud individuals more to ho feared. To suppose that they only servo to protect freedom would ho lo diminish their importance: they maintain ci vilization." Infatuation.—A physician in Albany Buys:— “ We rend last week a lienrt'sir.keniiig account of the. decease of a fine and amiable young lady, who fell a victim to fashion—hIip laced herself Jo death! Apart from the prevailing infatuation which leads female* to commit elegant and refined suicide, she is said to have been un uncommonly ! intelligent nud promising girl. The body pre sented s drrsdf::! sight. Tho rib* \% ere contract ed lo within half their mturni circumference, nnd the shoulder blades were nctunlly/«/>/«*/ over each other!
