The rela ttoil existing between tlre Printer and the majority, is always so understood. The Globe lor instance, will be tire supporter of the Administration right or u rong. Every true is satisfied that no enormity however outrageous it may be, couid be committed by the Government, but an apologist is to be found, and expected too, iu that most scrupulous and cooscieniiouo print. And why ? The Globe to say nothing ot the morals of its prime conductor, is au inte gral part of tiie Administration, it is in fact a hireling press,—lor its regard for interest over principle is so predominant, that the bonus of fifty thousand dollars, it is ready to pledge its support for ti e year in advance. Ilence the importance attached to the elec tion of Printer, and as it seems it is regarded as particularly important this Congress, as it has been delayed some eight weeks, to the prejudice of the country. Hence, its being always considered as a test of politi cal principles in the electors. Alter a protracted trial, a printer was e lected, ind the Globe is the successful com petitor. This is regarded, and so hailed, as a party .victory, Tl e Globe has particularized two of our delegation, to whom in the plenitude of oftheir gratitude, they ascribe all praise. 'Whether the support from that quarter, was as unexpected to the Globe, as it has been to the constituents of these two gen tlemen, or whether the election was depen dent upon these two votes, we are not able to say. Cettes—Two of our delegation, Mess'rs. Black and Cooper, are made the victims of the Globe’s commendation; a position by no means to be envied ; for if a good man’s opinion is desirable ( lauduri a laudato.) a bad man’s praise is not to be eoveted. And if we estimate these gentle men aright, they arc not to be Haltered by rhe incense which is emitted from such a shrine, and which must “stink iu the nos trils,’’of every man of any pretensions to common decency. We do deem it a misfortune, that any of our friends should be made the subject of laudation, in what Mr. Calhoun very ap propriately once said, and no doubt now tliiuks is, a “dirty sheet,’’ and we sympa thise ratherthan rejoice, that these two gen tlemen, should have been made the very conspicuous objects ot the Globe's Eulogy. As honest men we know “they hate the slime that sticks to filthy things," and they must be very sensible that Blair's panegy rics cannot increase or in any wise add to thejgood opinionalready entertained ol them. But this is a mere matter of taste after all, it may or it may not be gratifying to receive flattery regardless of the source. We have reason to believe that it is an unction accep table to a certain class of-politicians at all times, and under all circumstances, and we should hiive been perfectly satisfied, and not a word have escaped by us—had Blair laud ed Cooper and Black to the skies for the vote they gave him, and omitted even an allusion to the rest of the delegation. But for voting against the Globe, Messrs. Al ford, Habersham, Dawson, Nisbct, and Warreu have beep made the special objects of the “reptile’s” vituperation. These gentlemen need be under no apprehension that they will be misjudged by their consti tuents. They have acted iu character as firm, consistent State Bights men, —they opposed a print, that always has been the most uncompromising euemy of their pe culiar doctrines, and consistently as their own observation must base instructed them, with the views ol their constituency, who never have and never can have any feeling iu common with such an unprincipled print as the Washington Globe. THE YVAR UPON THE CURRENCY. The following graphic sketch of the ef fects of Locofocoisiti upon the country, we copy from the New York Times. It is 'n deed a gloomy picture, and we fear it is not overdrawn, ilvery mail yea, almost every breeze wafts upon us the utweleonie iutell igftice of the utter prostration of all classes xis business au l the continued downward tendency of the produce ol the country. The poor pittance of the mechanic and the laborer is curtailed, until he n scarcely able to afford a competency for those dependent upon his exertious for succor, while the agu culturist in cotnniu t with the whole com mercial interest thoughout this vast republic are writhing under the tuiud, cat. this deplorable state of things be attriouted ’ The euswer is at hand : it is the unceaiiig war made upon the country by the Loeot'o cos, which was commenced by General Jack son upon the National Bank, and has been continued by the “followers in the footsteps,” with his trained baud of plunderers, first up on the local Bauks and finally waged against the whole credit system of the country until the nation from one extreme to the utliei is groaning under the accumulated burthensof a corrupt ad minis'ration of the government. Let us not however, dispair, but hope that the time of deliverance is at hand, whe the country will lac« itself fiomthe desola ting influence of corrupt meu, and return to that state of prosperity iu which thev found it.

[Fiom the Nat. lot.'] THE LATE ELECTION OF PRIN TER TO'HIE HOUSE OF REPRE SENTATIVES. We certainly bud no design or w ish to lecur to this subject, and we do so now oil ly ia cvnsequetn-e of an article which we find in the Government paper of Friday night, iu reference to (he choice, of the firm by wh»ch that paper is published »u be Prin ters to (he House of Representatives. Before proceeding to oirr main purpose in noticing that article, we lake occasion to slate our impression of what would have been the result of the election for Printer had every recoguised Member of the House been present, and been reduced to the alter native of choosing between the two leading candidates We believe that in that event the result would have been the same as it was, but that the majority for the Executive candidate would have been reduced to a number not greater than that of the Re publican members from New Jersey, who have been unrighteously excluded from par ticipation in the proceedings of the House ol which they are constitutionally a constit uent part. We believe, further, that if those Georgia Members, whose names the Globe has the indelicacy to parade iu its columns as hav ing distinguished themselves over their col leagues by giving the it votes to the Admin istration eandidate lor the Printing, [with the other Georgia Members to whom it al ludes,] had voted with the majority of their colleagues, and every recognised member of flic House had voted tor one ortheotherof the candidates, the result of the election would have been different rom what it was. We trust it will be distinctly understood that we make no complaint of the votes of (hose members, or of any other member, pi that election, it being a mutter in which it would be unbecoming in us cither to prase or blame the conduct ofauyoue. YVe on ly slate what is our impression, from the facts before us. Nor should we ever have troubled our readers with any further allusion to the late vote of Ihe House, if the editor of he gov ernment paper had not, injustification oi the minority ol the Georgia representation (who, we can very well imagine, would willingly have dispensed with his eulogy) iu voting for him. wantonly and lalsely calumniated llie National lute ligencer, for the purpose of disparing those gentlemen from the South who did its publishers the honor by their voles to show a preference for them over the publishers sf the Globe. The particular passage in the Globe’s ar ticle to which we here refer is as follows : “In the present crisis, too, when Feder alism has allied itsell with Abolitionism, to bring ucw and still more dangerous element into the strife, to overthrow not only the pol itical principles, but the domestic institu-, lions of Georgia and the whole South, the Globe lias been found contending against 'he rival press, for which the majority of the Georgia delegation voted—a press which has not liiaintaiued the cause of any party in the South at any time within the last ten years. In .lie course which the minori ty of the delegation have thought fit to take in choosing between the Globe and the iu telligencer. we should think they could hardly fail to meet the approbation of all par ties iu Georgia.” Now, if there be one thing which more than another has ever distinguished ilie character of the National Intelligencer, it is its steady unwavering conscientious support of the real rights of all the States, and of noue more zealously than those peculiar rights ol the South of which the Executive organ has, in the passage which we quote, the aflroutery to represent it as an opponent. YVe challenge any member of the dominant party, from Mr. \ an Buren downwards to produce front the files of the National In telligencer one line which can show any disposition in tiiis press “to overthrow not only the pohtical principles, but the domes tic institutions of Georgia, and of the whole South.” or any thing that can afford the least shadow ol ground lor such an imputa tion. There exists, in fact, no. such “strife,” nor has there ever existed any such “strife,” as is referred to in this quotation. The as sertion of its e> istenCe is a mere party trick, still more detestable, however, than it is contemptible, because it is a device of cun ning knavery intended, by the aid of honest prejudice, to deceive and mislead. YVe repeat the defiance, to the Editor of the Globe, or any of his allies or confeder ates, old or new, to produce one line from ottr pen to justify the base imputation which lie attempts to (asteii upon the majority of the Georgia Delegation through the -sides ol the National Intelligencer, \\ e oo not make tiiis challenge or defi ance on our own account, the reader will w i .l understand ; but we cannot pass by in silence, this attempt to injure honorable uni high-minded meu lor no other reason than that they have not chosen to “let the Administration elect their own officers, in cluding the Printer to the House." HOMICIDE. YVe regret to learn tint a man a ( desper 'to character, named John YVhitecotton, w.t* .died iu the lower part of this District, i uesday last, by the Deputy Sheriff, Mr. /.-Bates, while in the performance of his -menil duty. It is said that Mr. B. had ar rested or was in the act ofarresting him un ' r the authority of a Bench warrmt, being ii-siMt and with a dark aud pistol, shot him icaa with a pistol. Houth earoliniecn, 4 4 ih inst. From the Georgia Messenger. That the States Right parly of Georgia, should cooperate either with the Whigs or Loco Focos of the North, in the election oi their respective candidates for the Presiden cy, is not 'o be expected. They are both exceptionable to us, although not in the same degree, but both sufficiently so, to preclude iu any possible event, our support. We can therefore impartially, and without the apprehension of subjecting ourselves to the imputation of favoring either, canvass the claims ofboth respectively. It has got to be fashionable of late with the Administration presses, or a portion of them, to use their own assumptions in the place of facts, and by this means establish conclusions, as deceptive to the public, as they are discreditable to the authors. Thus for instance, a disingenuous press will say ; that the States Right papers of Georgia, be cause they are iu opposition to Van Buren, must of necessity be if favor of Harnson—a conclusion in no respect warranted—for there is not a paper of the party in the State, as far as we are apprised, that has even intimated a leaning towards the Harris burge nominee—That there is an im measurable distance between these two competitors for what u-r.v may almost be re garded as the democratic crown, whether (heir past services, or their anticipations of their indue usefulness be taken into con sideration. we have not the least hesitation in expressing most freely au opinion—And to save time, and avoid circumlocution, our estimate of the one must be taken as the couverce of the other. Gen. Harison Ins from the time of Washington, from whom lie received his first military appointment, an 1 Jeifersoii, from whom he received his first civil office —the responsible one of Governor of a Ter ritory, to the days of Jackson, possessed the confidence of every President of the United States, He has done his country right good service as a soldier; and filled more fiduciary and trust-worthy offices than any man now living-—he has been honest, and as a most signifficaut corrollary—-he is poor, which cannot be said of very many of his cotemporaries. Yet still he is excep tionable ?o us. Not 'hat we believe there is the least particle of trutli in the charge made against him of being an Abolitionist, for no candid man believes it, and several Administration presses have magnanimous ly discredited it, but because we believe he entertains sentiments at variauce with our own, upon tire great and fundamental doc trine of Slate Rights. Hence Gen. Harri son cannot be our cadidate for the PresiUeu cy- But if Ac is exceptionable to the Slates Rights paitv, how much more so, should Mr. Van Buien he ? The nominated suc cessors and pledged follower o (him who was t ;e arch enemy of State Rights, the author of the Proclamation and Force Bill, the Denouncer of State Sovreiguty, and the first open and bold invader of our exclusive and heretofore intangible and constitutional privileges. This “Bold invader,” was President Jackson. He was the first Presi dent that set at naught the principles em bodied in the Virginia and Kentucky reso lutions of 98, and which iu the administra tion of the government, had been religious ly observed by his predecessors. For this contumely he obtaiaed the bitter and active hostility of John C. Calhoun, the then champion par excellence,, ol State Rights. Yet Jackson never recanted his errors, and the first act of his successor, was to picw l^ f} an adherauce to his policy, and a servile promise to tread in the steps of his “illus trious predecessor.” He has kept his pledge, and we cannot charge him with ab ostacy. His proselytes and cuuveris can not villi justice accuse him of changing ; and those pseudo and quondam State Rights men wiio have been brought to the huinila ting and debasing position of supple kuted suppliants, cannot extenuate tbeir servilitv by the plea that Van Buren has become u Sullifier. How the atch magician must laugh at the facility with which b theal mighty power of his wand, he c.iu convert honest men into pliant tools ! We are well aware how potent an influ- 1 ence example may exercise—bow disposed men are (who possessing “a little biief au thority” and elevated by the mistaken con fidence ol their fellow men to an unmerited position,) to arrogate themselves the tight of giving a tone to the opinion of others, when in fact, if in their proper places, they should rather be the recipients than the dispensers of public sentiment. We have of late had some of' these official neophytes held up to us by our opponents as sinning lights, ami as illustrious examples to prove the soundness oftheir doctrines. We deny the influence either of their p|*ecepts or ex a tuples. Their tergiversations c! them selves condemn them they are under a con trol which is irresistible, and which lias forced many an honest politician from the strait and open way-—that influence which Woolaey so eloquently describes when bet teily reproaching himself for his desertiou of his Go D---the sin by which Angels fell. Power and office, now a days, gives no additional claim to the incumbent— bis opin ion is worth no more than that of another. * The rank is but the Guinea’s stamp, The man’s the gowd for a’ that.” The Representative Branch of the Alaba ma Legislature has passed what is called a Relie'' Law, by a vote of 56 against 35, and it is supposed that it will also pass tue .Sen ate, and receive the sanction Governor Bag by.

WASHINGTON’S BIRTH DAY. Tile fervid outpouring of a nations grat liiudo which greets the annual return of a day sacred alone as the Birth day anniver sary of a lino ara! a patriot, is surely the richest honor and the highest meed of fame, that can be conferred upon the memory of a man. A thousand monuments of sculp tured marble, with a blazing eulogy inscri bed upou each, would be but a poor immor tality, compared with the veneration and esteem which dwell like evergreens in the grateful hearts oi more llnm Fourteen Mil lions of intelligent frccrr.cn,for the memory of him whom ail agree to have been the great est man the world has ever seen. The twenty second day of February is, and ought forever to contiuue, so long as the name of America exists upon the earth, a day of na tional thanksgiving and of uational rejoicing; for next to the fourth of July, and probably coeval in importance even with that memor able occasion, the day which gave birth to the GREAT Washington, (he saviour of his country, ougilt never to pass unobserved as long as a spark of his exalted patriotism continues to animate the breasts of his countrymen. And it will be observed, and celebrated we have no doubt for many acen. tury yet to come. The increasing zeal be ginning to be displayed in its celebration all over the country is a sufficient guaranty of the fact. The anniversary that has just pas sed, was hailed throughout the whole extent of our vast country with a gush of patriotism & gratitude that cannotfaii o produce a goad & lasting efiect upon the hearts of our people. In Florence the day was celebrated with a becoming spirit; not however by the citizens at large, but by the Georgia Guards, a beautiful troop of Cavalry under the com mand of Capt. C. S. Gaulden. After para ding through the Town and performing many handsome evolutions, the company repaired to the M. E. Church where a con siderable audience was in attendance, and listened to the reading of Washington's Farewell address, by Mr, J. L. Boynton, and au eloquent and suitable oration by Janies M. Mitchell, Esq. We were pleased with the sentiments conveyed in Mr. M’s. ad dress ; they were forciby expressed and presented a true picture of the political cott ditiou ol the country, together with the means of extrication. About three o’clock the company sat down to dinner at the Phoenix Hotel and upon the remuv.il of the cloth a great many excel ent toasts were drank with the highest deg/ee of harmony aud good feeling.
