The feelling of hatred can ' be nurtured ttf such an extent as often to as sume the appearance of insanity; and he es pecially becomes the slave of that emotion who is conscious of having inflicted a wanton in- I jury upon its object. It becomes a master pas sion which swallows up all the better emotions i of the soul. A most singular instance of the 1 insane extent to which the spirit of opposition to Mr. Polk has been carried, was exhibited, a short time since, in the conduct of the Whigs of the town of Auburn, at the head of the Montgomery Hail Hoad, in Alabama. Upon the reception of the rumor of Mr. Polk’s death, , which, it will be remembered, was very gen erally credited in Georgia and Alabama, these {patriotic citizens actually illuminated their louses byway of public rejoicing at the , event. Had this incident occurred in the heart of Massachusetts, thirty live years ago, among the genuine '‘blue-light’ Federalists of a former day, it would have been in perfect keeping with the general tenor of their acts,and would not have excited such profound astonishment, j Hut in our day, when, for so many years, the i conduct of those bitter and misguided men has j been viewed with the most unmitigated i gust, and wholesale condemnation, that the ; blackest exhibition of their black malevolence ! should have been revived with a darker hue, and more repulsive features, is a just cause for serious reflection. The conduct of Major Gen eral Appleton Howe, of Massachusetts, and of the Whig citizens of the town of Auburn in the State of Alabama, is indicative of a ma levolence of spirit in portions of the Whig par ty, at both extremities of the Union, which is disgusting beyond expression. The exhibition of such feeling is confirmation strong as holy writ of the workings, not of a high and holy patriotism, but of a narrow, poisonous, partisan j spirit,—not of a devotion to pure principle, but of a morbid development'of personal prejudice, and individual animosity. Why should these men have rejoiced at Mr. Polk’s death? Had the Whig party aught to gain by such an event? They must have known ! that Mr. Polk’s whole administration has been | a reflection of the views, feelings, and wishes j of that majority of the American people which ! placed him in his present exalted position; that ft has been controlled and fashioned by the pronciples of the great Democratic party of j the nation; and that Mr. Dallas, who would have become his successor, was as firm and uncompromising an advocate of those same principles as the President himself. In what, ! then,could the Whig party have hoped to gain by Mr. Polk’s decease? In nothing save the gratification of those wretched feelings of par tisan malevolence, which regard the man as a personal foe. At the time of Gon. Harrison’s death, it was well known that his successor's administration of the Government would bo conducted, in all probability, upon different principles. The ! one was in favor of the Hank, the other oppos ed to it; the one for a Protective Tariff, the other against it; the one a Northern Whig, the other a Southern Nullifier. The Democratic party had every reason to believe that the death of the former, and the promotion of thh latter, would work an abandonment of Federal, and an adoption of Democratic measures. Nay, further still, they had just cause to believe that this providential change would secure an administration of the Government really ex pressive of the views and wishes of amajsrity of the American people; for no one supposed at that time, that the very politicians whose support was sought for the Whig party by the nomination of Tyler, would be the first to de sert him, and the loudest to abuse and to de nounce “the Traitor.” Yet was there in any portion of this broad country, in any city, town, or hamlet, such a disgraceful exhibition Os partisan de ight at the melancholy event, as is now presented to our consideration? We Are proud to believe that such emotions have never been cherished by any portion of the great Democracy. Devoted to their country, and to their on n pure principles, a high and holy patriotism fills their bosoms, to the utter exclusion of all such miserable feelings. The bitterness of personal animosity belongs not to them. They forget not opposition to his prin ciples in their hatred of the man. It has not been for them to abuse and vilify distinguish ed officers in our army, because they chanced to be Whigs. Thay have scorned this wretch ed system of detraction. It has not been for them to wage a moral warfare against their own Government, because a political opponent had been placed at its head. And when we speak of the Democracy of this country we mean to embrace in the term many an honest, patriotic Whig, who, from personal associations, or an untoward combi nation of circumstances, has been forced into a position which will soon become odious to him. The time is rapidly approaching when a very large portion of the Whig party will leave it forever, shaking the dust from their feet; and it is by just such conduct as we have been con sidering to-day,that this desirable consumpma tion will be soonest effected. Let the Tom Corwins and the Appleton Howes of the land proceed; let the Daniel Webstcrs deliver such speeches as the Springfield effort; let the Fed eral papers of the North continue to proclaim war against the constitution of our forefathers, and oppression and injustice to the South; let the President of the United States be wantonly insulted and grossly vilified; let the Federal machinery continue to do its work; it will soon be seen that the masses of the Whig party love their country better than the ambitious lea ders who would conduct them to their ruin, and the Republic will grow safer and stronger to the last! Here’s a Go.— On Wednesday morning a Sheriff’s officer levied on the furniture, revo lutionary relics and valuable pictures in the Mayor’s office, at New York, for an attorney’s bill of costs, which the city became responsi ble for under a decision of Judge Edmonds, in tlxe matter of the application for an injunction against the City Treasurer, restraining that of ficer from paying over the amount appropriated by the last Common Council, in spi* e of the Mayor’s veto —to pay the penalties and costs incurred by Elijah F. Purdy, Frederick HhetN and five other ex-Aldermen, for illegally refus ing to pay the salaries of Judges Noah and Lynch. ' ' . ' 1 'Mt'w m "I^abb'll [From the Washington Union , 28M till. ] J Tribute of Gratitude from. Ireland* We have already stated that Cdpt. De Kay, of the Macedonian frigate, presented yester day to the President of the United States an j address from the corporation of Cork. It is handsomely written out on a roll of paper, and embellished at top on one side with the Hag of the United States, and on the other with the British flag. The seal of the corporation at tests the authenticity of the signature. The roll is enclosed in a small, neat mahogany box, with tlxe following inscription upon a metallic 1 plate: THE CORPORATION I T 0 THE PRESIDENT OP THE T'NTTED STATES. This eloquent address breaths the gratitude | and the spirit of the Irish people: To the President of the United States of America: Sir: \\ e, the mayor, aldermen, and bur gesses of Cork, in council assembled, desire most respectfully, in behalf of our fellow citi ) zens, to express our heartfelt gratitude to you, i sir, the head of the United States government, and through you to her legislature, and also to her great and generous people. In this warm and earnest record of our j thankfulness, it would be out of place to dis cuss the causes of our national poverty, res j tricting the great mass of the Irish people for subsistence to one article of food, which, though valuable in many 'particulars, is in these countries the lowest class of diet, and consequently subjects the whole of the poorer i population to constant risk of scarcity, or even famine, should a partial or general failure of i 1 that one crop, the potato, occur. The immoderately cold and sunless summer of 18 to was followed by a deficient potato har vest; but in 1846 the visitation was universal, and its awful consequences arc still pressing severely on our community. Famine brought disease; private employment for the industri ous classes was greatly diminished; public employment was deficient, and would not sup ply three-fifths of the people with money wages. Grain, at an exorbitant price, was in many places scarce and difficult of access; starvation and all its miseries were around us; but the cry of trxosc who were ready to perish was heard, even across the dividing sea. The American nation, with ready sympathy, came to the rescue, unsolicited, except by their own hearts; they gave food to feed the hungry, to | check the famine-fever, and, under the bless { ing of a merciful God, to restore the sick to | health and usefullness. Sir, we are of one blood witlxjyour own Am j rxca —brothers. Many of tlxe boldest and pu rest spirits of England, Ireland, and Scotland have made their homes in the Great Western Republic. That love of liberty which they carried to your shores is become your nation’s character. Os one mind and one heart with America, we glory in her acts of philanthropy: we emulate her independence. May her ban ner EVER FLOAT ABOVE THE BRAVE AND FREE. Sir, the generous aid given by the American public, and sent on peace-making mission in American ships-of-war, has done more to se j cure continued harmony between the coun | tries than any armament could effect. Your ! people, by doing us good, have recognized the j ancestral relationship which belongs to ns; | while we, in our cordial gratitude, will ever use the remembrance of your noble benevo -1 lence as tlxe talisman of amity. The light of freedom of trade now dawns upon our country; the grand law that all men | ai'e bx-cthren, is about to be made practical. — Your prompt and liberal free-will offering has been timely placed on the altar of fraternity j just as the doors of the temple of commerce 1 are about to be thrown widely open. For the future, our mutual necessities will recommend to us mutual forbearance, and mutual benefits j exchanged will develop mutual estimation, until the best interests of these islands and your free States shall become associated, so as every day to draw the people more closely into a friendship based on mercantile, moral, and benevolent intercourse. Receive, sir, our appreciation of your most valuable generosity. As Christians and as men, you have dignified your nation. Such ! triumphs are among the proudest laurels which can wreathe the brow of tlxe first officer of a great and generous people. Done in council at Cork, under the city seal, the 29th dav of Julv, 1817. ANDREW F. ROSHE, Mayor of Cork. Alexander McCarthy, Town Clerk. Trouble in the Indian Country.—Mis sionary Murdered--SteamboatSunk.-A telc gi-aphie despatch from Cincinnati, Oct. 27, says: “The Louisville Courier, received here this afternoon, has a letter from St. Louis, dated Oct.22d,which says that a gentleman belonging to the American Fur Company had arrived in that citv from the Upper Missouri country. He left Fort Pierre, fifteen hundred miles above the mouth of the Missouri river abont four weeks ago. He says that the Indians, at the time of his leaving, we’re generally quiet, bxxt during the summer they had committed many heartless and cold-blooded murders. A short time since, a war party, composed of the Santee and Sioux tx-ibes, passed the head wa ters of St. Peters, and when they reached the north fork of the Platte, they fell upon a Paw nee village, and, in the most cruel manner murdered a missionary preacher who was sta tioned there, and a number of Indians. “About the same time, continues the letter writer, a war party of Ottoes, at Council Hlufis, started off and went to Henloek, in the Sioux country, and murdered a dozen Indians of the Sioux tribe. The Ottoes were prompted to this dreadful deed of violence out of revenge for the murder of a like number of their own tribe, by the Sioux last spring. “There had been no news received from Santa Fe for about two months," but intelli gence from that quarter was looked for daily, “The steamboat Simon Kenton accidentally sunk at Hat Island, on the 23d instant, and is a total wreck. Providentially, no lives were lost.” Tremendous Storm—Great Destruction of Property.—Cincinnati, Oct. 26, p. m.— We have been visited by a tremendous storm, which has caused the destruction of .an im mense amount of property. It has rained al most continuously for three days, overflowing the country for miles around. Along the Little Miami, which is higher than it has been known for years, the damage done is beyond parallel. In a number of in stances, barns have been swept away, and thousands of bushels of grain destroyed. The fences for fifty miles along the river Ixavc shar ed in the general destruction, and there is no telling at the present time the extent of the damage done. The bottom lands have been overflowed, and the Little Miami, for miles, now forms a broad lake. The Ohio river at this place is several feet above high-water mark, and is still rising at tlxe rate of one foot and a half per hour. Sev eral gardens along the river in front of the city are already covered with water. The small tributary streams are swollen to overflowing, and in their mad career spread ing destruction around. It is next to impos sible to form any estimate of the amount of damage done. It is unquestionably the most severe freshet we have ever had here. Property of Married Women.—Govoiaxor Eaton, ol \ ermont, x’ecoxnmended the enact ment of a law to secure to married women the sole control and benefit of all property which they may have had at covexture,or received du ring it, in their own right. sgMMaogri'Hft*i, vsmrjm-jsxsaimßafmmm^mmmaaKmm | Volcanic Eruption. —Great excitement and ; alarm prevails at present among- the inhabi tants of Walker and Dade counties, produced by a burning volcano, which is said to have ' burstod out from the high peaks of the Look out Mountain, at a place called the ‘ narrows,’ on Tuesday, 19th inst. We understand that many of those who resided on the mountain and in the neighborhood, have abandoned their homes, and if not gone into ‘ a far country,’ have at least placed themselves out of harm’s I wa >'- j A grave looking gentleman from Walker, called on us one day this week to give us the full particulars, who states that on the day above mentioned, a series of sounds resemb ling the noise of distant thunder, accompanied with a slight shaking of the earth, were dis tinctly heard in Walker and Dade, and by ma ny persons in this county. That two or three days afterwards the cause was ascertained to be what we have already stated, and that the report and effects of the eruption in its iramc ; diate neighborhood were terrible beyond de scription. Enormous rocks were thrown from i the mountain into the valley below, and many ; other strange and powerful tilings done which | we have not time to enumerate or describe. [ As large beds ol bituminous coal are known to exist in the Lookout Mountain, we should not be surprised to hear a partial confirmation of the account given by our Walker county friend. —Dalton {Ga .) Eagle, 'lVth ult. Burglary. —On Saturday night some per sons, by means of false keys, got into the Merchants’ Insurance Company’s Office, open ed the iron chest, got possession of the books found therein, tore some of them, covered the rest with filth and ordure, and left everything in the room topsy-turvy. They carried away only ISA dollars in money, leaving behind, with all its contents, a box of diamonds of some value, belonging to a lady of this city. They had put it into a different place, perhaps to show that they had seen it. ’ihisis a curious case. The perpetrators of the act were influenced by strange notions, which it is difficult to divine. At the invitation of the president of the Company we repaired to the Office, where we found the books and papers not so much dam aged that they may not be used. Only two registers will have to be copied in consequence of the filth with which they are daubed. The papers destroyed were old and useless. —Xeir Orleans Courier, 25th ult. iwi ■■ ■ iriwMgiMPßaMawwwoaiMraHM 21 upsta, (Georgia. TUESDAY MORNING, NOV 2. tXF* The Lcgislatux*e of this State assembled at Milledgeville yesterday. The editor of this paper is on the spot, and the readers of the Constitutionalist will be furnished with the earliest proceedings. New Books V e have received from the publishers, Har per & Brothers, through Mr. Thomas Richards, at whose store in this city they can be obtain ed, the following new works : Campaign Sketches of the War with Mexico, by Capt. W. S. Henry, U. S., A., Part 1. This work is highly spoken of by the Northern press, and is illustrated with several engrav j ings, among them, the Camp at Corpus Chris ti, the Battle Grounds of Palo Alto, Ilesaea de la Palma, Sec. Part 111 ol the Life of Henry the Fourth, King of France and Navarre, by G. P. R. James, Esq. Another Difficulty about the Mail Trans portation We. learn from the Richmond Times that at a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Richmond and Potomac Railroad, the Presi dent informed them that the Postmaster-Gen eral had allowed the company, in connection with the Potomac Steamboat line, only $7,- 258 75 for the mail service of the quarter end ing the 31st ultimo; a reduction of $3,127 from the pay allowed in ’42, ’43, for inferior service, lighter mails and slower schedules. The directors, thereupon, resolved to notify the department that the company declines the fur ther transportation of the mail for this com pensation, after the 10th of December. The Bishop* The New York Journal of Commerce of the 28th ult. says :—As we understand it, there is not now the slightest chance for the restora tion of Bishop Onderdonk. He will probably receive an answer from the Board of Bishops to the letter he addressed them, complaining of injustice, which will exhibit their opinion on this point. We are happy to learn that the discipline which has been exercised towards the late Bishop Onderdonk, of Pennsylvania, has had the effect of working a thorough re formation in him as to the practices which caused him to be deposed. Our Telegraph. Wo learn (says the New Orleans Picayune,) from the enterprising gentleman who is direct ing the work of planting the posts for the Magnetic Telegraph between Mobile and this city, that the line will be completed in the course of ten or twelve days. Departure of Troops- The Mobile Register of the 28th ult. says : The IT. S. transport steamer Beaufort Dis trict, sailed for Tera Cruz on Tuesday last, having on board 74 men and horses ; —and yes terday the Galveston and the Mary Burt, the former with 108, and the latter with 135 men and horses, of the Georgia battalion, departed for the same destination. The following extract of a letter from Maj. Turnbull, a distinguished officer of the corps "of topographical engineers, to Colonel Abert, the head of the bureau, written on the 26th September, may shed some light on the deten tion of Gen. Scott’s despatches : “We have all been engaged in making a survey of the different battles, and connecting them. A copy of the operations of the 19th and 20th was sent with the General’s official reports, which -went by a messenger, with a passport from Santa Anna, during the armis tice ; but I doubt if it be received, as it is most likely it never left the city. I should like to send a copy by this conveyance, but it is im possible. We are now engaged in making surveys to connect the operations of the 12th and 14th September with those of the 19th and 20th of August.” Lake Superior Mines- There have been no less than 121 distinct mining companies formed in the mineral re gion of Lake Superior. The aggregate num ber of shares are nearly 500,000. Some of these companies will, no doubt, give a hand some dividend to the shareholders in copper or its value, but in many others, of course, the profit will be all moonshine. Pennsylvania- The Philadelphia Bulletin of Monday gives j the returns from all but four counties cf Penn sylvania, which give a majority for Shunk for Governor of 17,987. The four remaining counties will probably increase it to 19,000 or more. The vote for Governor in 1844 was 318,- 928. This year it will reach nearly 300,000. ; Parties in the next Legislature, says the Bulletin, will stand as follows : Whigs. Democrats. Senate 19 14 House 35 G 5 54 79 54 Democratic majority on joint ballot, 25 New York T. hat portion ol the Democracy opposed to the Syracuse Convention, and in favor of the ilmot Proviso, assembled at Herkimer on Tuesday last. C. C. Cambreleng presided; an address was reported by John Van Buren, son of the Ex-President, and a series of resolutions adopted, among them the Wilmot Proviso, “as an inseparable element of their political creed,” The Convention was addressed by Mr. Wilmot, of Pennsylvania, who gave as surances that his State was in favor of the Proviso, and Jas. W. Taylor, of Ohio, who gave a similar assurance. The packet ship Constitution sailed from New York for Liverpool, took about SIOO,OOO in gold. The Garrick, for the same port, had about the same amount. Specie in Boston- Thc Boston Journal says that the amount of specie imported and entered at the Custom House at that port, during the week ending Oct. 23, was $22,342, of which $21,482 was brought by the steamer Cambria. The amount exported during the week was SIOOO. Old Times In a volume of the “Political Magazine” for the year 1781, published at London, which is now lying before us, we find the following paragraph, taken from a Rhode Island paper: “Hartford in Connecticut, May 8, 1781. “The Scnatus Academicus of Yale College have conferred the doctorate of Laws upon his Excellency Gen. Washington, and also upon the reverend Dr. Price of London.” Rifle Shooting.— Mr. Editor :— Be pleased to record in your paper the following shooting, made by a member of the “Savannah Rifle Club” at target practice on the afternoon of the 27th inst. 12 consecutive balls fired, (off hand,) dis tance 140 yards, all balls in—9 in the spot — aggregate measurement of the whole, 7 26 inches and 9-loth’s of an’inch—three nearest’ to the centre of the spot 9-10th of an inch —size of target, 20 24 inches —size of bull’s eye or spot, 7 inch diameter —average of each ball, less than 2J inches. If the above shooting has ever been beaten we should like to know it. The rifle used was of a new s*yle of harden ed muzzle, invented by C. W. Rogers of this city, and manufactured by Rogers & Jones, and I will also add that rifles of the same kind, manufactured by these gentlemen and used by the Club, have given entire satisfaction.

MOBILE, Oct. 27.— Cotton. —The dullness notic ed in our report of last Wednesday continued dur ing the first two days of the week now closed. Buyers demanded a further concession, but holders refused to yield, and consequently the transactions were almost totally suspended. On Friday, how ever, holders evinced a disposition to give way, and on Saturday they conceded on all descrip tions, at which rates purchasers entered the mar ket, and, during the two days 2,000 to 2,200 bales changed hands—the largest portion of which took place on Saturday. The rates established by these transactions were as follows:—Fair 9i|c, middling fair 9£, and middling B|c. The sales of the four days ending Saturday night amounted, in the ag gregate, to about 3,000 bales. By Monday's mail we received a telegraphic despatch announcing the arrival at New York of the French steamer Mis souri, with disastrous accounts of the cotton and money markets of Europe, which at once put a stop to all operations here. Yesterday's mail brought us the full accounts by the Missouri, and also informed us of the arrival at Boston of the steamer Cambria with Liverpool advices to the sth inst. This discouraging intelligence has created a panic in our own market, from which, we fear, it will not for some days recover. Not a bale of cot ton has been sold since it came to hand, nor is there the least disposition on the part of buyers to ope rate. After the letters by the Cambria shall have been received, a full knowledge of the extent and influence of the failures attained, and the whole news digested, we hope to be able to report some business doing. In the present state of affairs it is useless to attempt to give quotations.
