"Not Casar's weal, bat that of Rome." THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1845. REMOVAL. We are removing our Office to the corner of Main and First streets, over J. M. Stockweirs Wholesale Dry Goods Store entrance on First street. In order to allow ourself time to fit up our office, as it should be,, no nauer will be issued next week, but after that matters will go on as regular as clock work. VERMONT.-The Legislature elect stands thus far: Senate, Whigs 23; Locofoco 6. Essex county, which elects one Senator, not yet heard from. To the House of Representatives there have been chosen 169 Whigs, 62 Locofocos, and 11 Abolitionists. In 41 towns there is no choice; 14 towns are yet to be heard from. 03-The State Sentinel calls our journa "a snappish little Whig concern," and says it "used to tread on our corns a little- We never made a "snap" at Chapman but i bit him, and he grew so tired at last of see ing our teeth that he dropped his tail be tween his legs and sneaked off. He is now being Dunn for. The Lawrenceburg, (Tad.) Beacon, a Locofoco paper, has the spunk to speak the truth of some of the leaders of the party. ' It says that the Governor and Lieut. Governor of Indiana are "a couple of demagogues and political adventurers, and that either of them would disgrace the Senate of the United States. DEATH OF JUDGE STORY. We have the painful duty to announce the death of Joseph Story, L. L. D., one of the justices of the United States Supreme Court, and Dane Professor of Law in Harvard University. He expired at his residence in Cambridge, on Wednesday evening, at a quarter before nine o'clock. His pulse ceas ed to beat, and his hands were cold before eight, P. M. His disease was stoppage of the intestines, or strangulation, the same sick ness which ended the life of Mr. Legare in Boston, in 1843. Judge Story was 65 years of age. He graduated at Harvard Universi ty 1798 and was appointed to the Judgeship of the U. S. Court by President Madison in 1811. He has filled a high office in the ju dicial service of his country, - and a higher station in the public eye, and he has left rpace that will not be easily rilled. The whole argument in a nut-shell. A correspondent in the N. Y. Tribune is on a visit to Lowell, (Mass.) and writes thus: "All New-England indeed, all the North bears on its face a tariff argument, but at Lowell jt is condensed to a conviction. The little State of Massachusetts is a better market for the Union than all England and her colonies, and Lowell alone consumes more Flour than we export to Britain. Considering the condition of the Capitalist and Operative, who vould strip these temples glittering with the trophies of happy industry, and invite to competition with easy, voluntary Labor, the Pauper and Convict Toil cf the misesable Old World." The remains of Baron Stuben, unhonored and almost forgotten, lie in a vault un der the old Baptist, church, in Nassau st.,N. York. That staunch and devoted soldier of the Revolution deserves better of the country of his adoption. Ere long the church will be demolished, and those venerated remains scattered to the winds. Printers. The United States Journal says that there are more than twenty printers who are performing the duties of clerks in the Departments at Washington,and that they are equal,, if not superior to others, who had the advantage of collegiate education. We have no doubt about it. Half the col lege fledglings don't know a comma from the fluke of an anchor. -CCrMr. Clay, says the Wheeling Time3, came up the river from Maysville to Guyan cone in ttie steamer senate as he was going on board, he remarked that he had hop ed his public life was ended, but he perceived ho must go into the Senate again. G-Father Miller has published an address or apology in relation to his doctrines concerning the end of the world, lie admits his mistake as to time, but says that he was actuated by pnro motives; also that, since he was wrong as to time, he can only Jive in continued expectation of the event. He concludes with this sentence "For my indiscretious and errors, I ask pardon: and all who Imve spoken evil of me without cause I freely foruive. Mv labojs are principally ended. I shall leave to my younger brethren the task of contending for the truth. Many years I have toiled alone ; God has now raised up those who will fill my place. I ehall not cease, to pmy for lhe cprend of the truth.'

INTRIGUES OF MANAGERS. j Our readers are aware that the editors of

the State Sentinel are drawing some very beautiful and life-like likenesses of a portion of the locoloco parly in and about Indianapo lis, which they style the junto. Here is a description of the heads or managers, which, we take it,isas true as any thing the Sentine' has said for some time: "Intriguers are are for the most part selfish and . intersted m all . their motives and actions. But this remark is liable to exceptions. There are certain individuals who are truly patriotic, who are addicted to the habit of prosecuting their designs by secret and artful management in preference to a frank and open course. Bui as all kinds of dissimulation are irksome to most minds, the majority are unwilling to practice it, except for the sake of promoiing a selfish advantage. There are not many who will forego the pleasures of sincerity from patriotic or benevolent motives. Hence it is true that the majority of the dissemblers are peculiarly selfish. The idea of selfishness ia almost inseperably connected with that of intrigue and management, and so far as a benovolent and patriotic citizen allows himself to practise it, he expossesses himself to the accusation of selfishness. It may be said, with truth, that the majority of politicians are intriguers. Without a certain degree of manceuvering, they would be obliged to sariffice many points, which are essential to their advancement. They must effect to have been the advisers of successful measu res which they opposed, and the opposers of! many unsuccessful measures which they really advocated. The whole political game, on all sides is not more a game of skill than a game of deceit; and to meet with success, by a perfectly frank aud honest course, re quires so mucn more ability tt.ati to meet with success by an artful course, that men of ordinary abilities, like the mnjority?of pol ilicians, are most apt prudently to prefer the latter. When a man ol interior abilities, is prompted by ambition to enter the arena of politics, he finds it necessary to practice many artful expedients to place himself on a level with men of strong minds. The same may be said of men of feeble courage, who though possessed of good abilities, dare not risk their success by . fair and open dealing Hence the majority of intriguers are either nien of feeble minds or of little courage. '1 hey dare not risk the loss of popularity by a bold avowal of their own opinions and de signs their ambttion is greater than their enthusiasm. They have all that low cunning which fits them for partisans but none of that lofty daring which fits them for reformers." 03- The Washington correspondent of the New York Courier accounts in the following manner for the war-like tone which has been, for some time past, maintained by the official Government journal at Washing ton:. The Teason then why the organ has been so war-like in its tone why it has so urgent ly defended the course of the Executive why it has stimulated and encouraged step and proceedings leading to a necessarily heavy expenditure and why it has been so acrimonious with reference to the 'Courier,' and 'Intelligencer' this reason is to be tound in the fact that the Executive, his Cabinet and organ do not intend or desire to fulfil the expectations of the southern free-traders with reference to the Tariff, and hence they are encouraging and making heavy expendi tures to give them an excuse for disappoint mgthe expectations of the Calhoun men To be sure, Mr. Walker has sent out a host of circulars, to obtain, as is averred, informa tion to enable him to recommend a change in the tariff, and great expectations have been excited among the Calhounites by the noise and stir which has been made upon the subject, while the organ occasionally cries "reduction ofthe tariff, "revenue limit, "revenue standard," &C, for' the purpose blinding the eyes of the Southerners by lead ins them to believe that a radical cnange is contemplated and thus drawing their atten tion from the expenses made and accruing but, notwiihstanding these cries ofthe organ and circulars of Mr. Walker to enable him to recommend a change, I hazard nothing whatever in saying that the course to be pursued and the alterations to be recommended with respect to the Tariff are already de termined upon. I do not say that there will be no change recommended or urged by the bxecutive and his Cabinet, but 1 do say, that the changes which will be recommended will not be such as are expected by the Calhoun men. .You will say what advantage will it be to the Whig party if any change at all be made or recommended. The ad vantage will be, that it will result in leaving the Tariff as it is. The Calhoun men will riot support the measures recommended by the Executive, and they will not be carried and the tariff not disturbed in consequence mat mis ..is me course wntcn events are likely to take, 1 am pretty well informed. Give your Children a Newspaper. A child beginning to read becomes delighted with a newspaper, because he reads ofnames and things which are familiar, and he will progress immediately. A newspaper in one year is worth a quarter's schooling to a child, and every father must consider that substantial information is connected with advancement. The mother of the family being one of its heads, and having more immediate charge of children, should herself be instructed. A mind occupied becomes fortified agaiost the ills of life, and is braced for any emergency. Children, "amused by reading or study, are ol course more Considerate and more easily governed. , How many thought less young men have spent their earnings in a tavern or grogshop who ought to have been leading! How many parents who have not spent twenty dollars for books for their fam ilies, would have given thousands to reclaim a son lir a daughter, who had ignorently and ( thought!e3ly f illcn into temptation.

WHIG ORGANIZATION. A Poughkeepsie paper holds the following

aiiguage; ' "Had the Whigs in the contest of 1841, fought right on, ana mey am irorn 10 jo to 1840, who believes that the Abolitionists could ever have mustered on-fourth of the strength thev secured ? But when the Whigs ceased to act, they sawthe field open for heir operations, and lost no time in entistII" troops among me pamany uisuanoeo Whigs. Let the party never be letl in such condition again. There is so much good sense in the above, says the Philadelphia Uuited States Gazette, nd so much practical truth to be derived therefrom, that we cordially recommend it to our political readers. Never more than at the present time, was our party called on to rally for its principles and its name. The esson of a disastrous mistake, should not be ost ; and we roust remember that while we feel the effect of that error, we owe it to the purity of our principles, never to change up on them the fault. The great interests of re publicanism require a constant watchfulness (not a warfare.) . Parties will exist, and they are for the good of the country, so long as the vigilance of each is kept up; but wheu 1 once the balance, not of numbers but . vigil ance, is lost, then there is danger that the other will absorb, and abuse the power. We now of no Whig who is dissatisfied with his own principles. We certainly see no evidence on the part of the - Democrats, of dis trust in their plans, but we have, within a year, noticed an uneasiness on the part of few Whigs, a desire to do something extraordinary, something which they confess must interfere with the integrity ofthe Whig party, and disturb its organization. Now t hese men who do not attach to members of a 3d party, but persons claiming to be Whigs, have as much at stake in the prevalence of Whig principles,as any others. They are concerned for a Congiessional or Presidential election, because new legislation may disturb their plans of business, and, therefore, they are solicitous for the success ofthe Whig party Why, then, should they neglect the duty of preserving the oiganization ofthe party? Why seek to disturb lU there can be no hope of a party in a national canvass, that is not sufficiently organized to gain local vie tories; and those who think lightly of party efforts, for municipal purposes, ought not to expect party success for national objects. It is not difficult to raise a party, or parties, suf ficiently strong to insure the defeat of the leading divisions, it has been aften attempted within a few years; but it is more cretin able to rally around a party, whose principles are approved, and seek to encourage its members,and promote its success. Had the whigs understood this, and acted on it, a few years ago, they would have been the dominant party. They are now in the minority at least, they are out of power. Shall they rally elsewhere for success, and neglect their principles? Or shall they come up to the old standard, whose folds bear the name ol Washington: and Clay. Haiestrian statue the Washington Bee stales that at a meeting ofthe heads o departments and other distinguished officers of Government took place on Wednesday, at the President's mansion, for the purpose of considering a plan for the erection of au eques trian statue, in honor of the illustrious Jacksou, at the seat of Government. The President of the United States was present and heartily approved of the object. He in timated that he should be proud to head the list with a handsome subscription. The Bee also states that a committee of most respecta ble and influential citizens will be appointed to receive contributions from those who may be desirous to subscribe. The Hon. Cave Johnson is spoken of as chairman of the com mittee. Pertinent. The Religious Recorder significantly asks: "Which is the cheapest, to hire a room and buy a library, and organize a school for poor children, or pay the damage which such a troop of vagabonds will, in a few years, inflict on society?" The Cincinnatti Inquirer adds "As a general rule; it may be safely laid down that the more scnooi nouse mere are, tne tower prisons there wtll be needed." - Gold Mine of Gaudaloupe, in the town of Cosalo, in Mexico. This is sunnosed ri to be richest gold mine 111 the world. It belongs to fcignor Yrlarte, who refuses to work it to any great degree of productive ness, because he could not dispose ofthe im mense revenue it would yield, amounting to several millions of dollars. He has now far more than he wants, and says that his money is safest under ground. Ms this wisdom, or philosophy or avarice? We suspect the lat ter. y 07" Gen. Cass evidently has an eye to the Presidential succession. In an article at tributed to him which . recently appeared in the Jjetroit l ree tress it 13 proposed that our army "march at once into Mexico, fix the boundary of Texas at the Rio del Norte," and that kwe demand California in payment ofjhe expense of the war."

Trouble Among tiie Mormons. We find the following in the St. Louis Gazette ofthe 15th in St., We learn from passengers on" the Boreas,

which arrived this morning, that a serious difficulty had recently occui red between the old citizens of Hancock county as the antiMormons are called aud a portion of ihe Saints, settled near Carthage. - It would seem from all that we can gather, that an at tack, real or teigued, was made on the morning of the 9ih 111st., by some persons un known, but supposed to be Mormons, on a school-house in Rocky Run precinct, where in was gathered a convention of the "old citi zens, for purposes not specified.- Fire-arms were used by the assailants, but, though the doors and windows are said to have been rid dled with balls, no one was hurt. This read ily served as a protext for "gathering the clans, ; and soon a large body of "old citizens1 were ready to march upon a Mormon settle in cut near, to do retribution on the supposed enemy. Learning the approach of the at tacking party, the baints sought safe'y in night and succeeded in reaching Nauvoo with such of theirgoods and chatties as they could conveniently carry with them. ' Their dwellings howevei were set on fire by the order-loving citizens of Hancock county, and some thirty or forty or them were consumed. When the Boreas left Warsaw, reports where rifeoflarge parlies oi Mormons and anti-Mormons, gain eriug in the vicinity, to do dreadful deeds o bloodshed against each other. VINDICATION AND DISCLOSURE. The public has long suspected that some disclosure, like that foreshadowed below, would be forthcoming, whenever Mr. Clay considered the reasons for his silence, wheth er a matter of honor and confidence, or merey self-imposed, as at an end. The Nationa Intelligencer has received a specimen shee of Cotton's Life of that great statesman of our times; and at its page 150, vol. 1, finds the following passage: "iNumerous nave been tne occasions as all know, when Mr. Clay might have taken the popular breeze, and been wafted to the highest pinacle of ambition when, too, as was thought and argued by bis friends, he might have done it without reproach when indeed, it was urged upon hi in as a duty to his country, to his friends, to himself. Bu always judging tor nimselt, as every man must do in all cases of casuistry, which can be settled only by. the feelings of his own heart, his answer has uniformly been, when compelled by the decisions of conscience to dessent from others, in such debate; 'I had rather be right, than be President His magnanimity has on more occasions than one barred the door to his advancement. In the case of the notorious charge of "bargain," for the election of Mr. Adam s, in 1825, it has. for nearly quarter of a century, been in the power ot Mr. Clay, at any moment to prove by positive evidence that the dishonorable proposals were made by those mho brought thecharge; but who, having been spurned, and anticipating an arraignment on the same count, were first in court, with a gross fabri cation in their right hand. But magnanimity and that to a po 1t1c.1l opponent, who wa himself the agent in the transaction, has hith eito kept the key to the secret. In a future page of this work it will be unlocked." . The United States National Magazine for September,' in leviewmg book called 'B titles of the British Navy," by Joseph Allen, a task which implies only pointing out daring mislatemeuts, tells an anecdote of the million il Decatur, which, to us at least, is new. It seems the Englishman, iu the pleulitude of his assurance, intimates that Decatur was mistaken in the identity of the Macedonian, and that he tried to escape when he discovered the command of Capt. Carden. To show the absuidity of such romance, the Magaziiie tells tlie following anecdote: "Before the war, Captain Carden and the Macedonian were at Norfolk; Decatur was there, too, and a warm intimacy soon joined in friendship two kindred hearts. While discussing naval affairs one day, Carden said, 'Decatur, your ships are good enough, and you are a clever set offellows; but what practice have you in war? there's the rub. One of these days we will probably have a 'brush' together, and if 1 catch your ship at sea, I will knock her into a cocked hat, Stephen.' 'Will you,' says Decatur; '1 will bet you a hat on it.' The bet was agreed on, and the conversation changed. " "liut a lew months elapsed ere tne war that had been threatening commenced, and the two captains, by some singular coincidence, met. The result of the action are known. Capt. Carden, on going on board of the United States, was received by'a lieu tenant at the gangway, to whom he tendered his sword. 'Not tome, sir, said the officer. 'but lo the Captain. 'And where is the Cap tain?' said the embarrassed Englishman. 'He is standing aft there: that is the gentleman, sir, in a tarpaulin hat and round jacket. "Cardeii went aft, and his feeliugson meeting, under such circumstances, hisold friend may be imagined. As he offered his sword to Decatur, that officer said, 'No, Carden; I never take the sword of a brave man; you have fought gallantly.' 'But,' said he, laying his hand on the other's shoulder, '1 will take that hat, my dear fellow.' "In transferring to the Uuited States the suite of Capt.' Carden, a fine band was included. In the alternoon,when dinner was announced in the cabin, Capt. Carden, said to Decatur, 'those musicians are very skillful, and, I have always had them on deck while at my dinner.1 'Very well,' said Decatur 'we will have them up.' Tire band was ordered on deck to play, and Com. Decatur was asked what air lie would like lo hear. 'Let them play Brittannia rules the Waves,' said he, with a sly laugh." The low spite which characterizes the English nation, always prompts them to calumniate a successful enemy. . We have seen phamphlets which were written in England in different languages, and circulated in immense numbers ou the continent of Europe many years ago, the object, of which was to prove Napoleon a personal coward, and such rubbish was not without its effect.

DEBT OF TEXAS. It is stated in a New York paper that a

proposition will be submitted at the next session of Congress lo advance some millions to Texas, on condition that she transfer her pub ic lauds to the Uund Slates. We never noubted, but ttiat this annexa tion project which originated in a specula ting gambling spirit, contemplated the sad dling Uucle Sam with the debia of Iexa3. The zeal with which the scheme was suppor ted by certain individuals could only be ac counted for in the supposition, that they were stimulated by interesied considerations. 1 he original scheme proposed in so many words ihe assuinpiioii ol ten miliums of debt; but O this was so batefaced, that this feature was stricken out, and by the articles, as finally agreed upon, Texas was left to pay her own debts, lo get around this stipulation, and to return to the original plan, in effect, will now be the object to be accomplished. It is by this means only that the naming patriots can realize to tne lull extent ine immense profits anticipated from Texas scrip, &c. We have seen no estimate to be relied up on of the amount ofthe Texas debt; but this is of no consequence. A matter of higher moment, is the principle involved Is Texas the only State whose debts are to be assumed bv the Federal Government? Is she the only one worthy of this distinguished honor and signal favor? Wny should not Indiana, Mississippi, Florida -and the rest of the States, whose credit has been tarnish ed, and who. are embarrassed heavily, re ceive a like assistance from ihe Federa Treasury? Why, indeed, stioiild not all the States come 111 for au equal and just disiri button f On what nunc. pie ol jus;tce ts it that Virginia, lor instance, wiiirii contributed her millions of acres w the U-iion. shall be excluded, while this new Si.ue is to be over whelmed by Federal bono y? Can auy other reason be assigned for suci a proceeding, than tlie sinister, inuieiice which the laud jobbers and scr p speMil nor exert over the present Ailnrnisiraiiou? I '.he Texas debt is assumed, several iudivid uals, who are not oversmoked with money to day, may be millionaires to morrow but n' such partial and intgical result would follow Irom Virginia's receiving her just proportior of the Land Fund. Hence it is, iii.it th noisy. blusterinr, selfish politicians, who ad minister affairs at Washington, are so particularly intent on aggrandizing Texas it is their own aggradizement.- - Richmond Whiff. TEXAS REPRESENTATION. . The joint resolutions for the annexation ol Texas, which President Polk submitted to the Texan government, and which the government and people of Texas have agreed to are silent on the .question of the representation of the new Staie iu Congress. The number of Senators is fixed by the Constitution, at two from each Slate. The number of ot Representatives is based upon population, and fixed by Congress every ten years. But the Constitution guaranties at least one representative to each State. Congress then, when it shall approve of the Constitution ol Texas, aud admit her into the Uuion as a State, must determine how many membeis she may have in the House of Representatives until the census ot 150. It is cla.nied that the new State shall have two representatives and that number was provided for in Walker's resolution, which the President has not submitted to Texas. On the basisof population the new Slate con have no right to two rep icseuiatives. Her population does not ex ceed, if it equals the population of Ilitnilton county, and we have but one 'representative. If Congress shall award lo her two representaiives, it rnnsl be on account of the superior intelligence of her people, or for some other cause unknown to tlie Cuiistituiian. Some of our contemporaries raise a diffi culty in counexiou with the representation of Texas, or of any foreign territory acquired and admitted into the Union. The 2nd Section of the )st Article of the Constitution does declare that "no person shall be a representative who shall not have been seven years a citizen ofthe U. States." and the 3d bection ofthe same ariicle declares that "no person shall be a Senator who shall not have been nine years a citizen ofthe United Slates." This language is plain and direct, and admits of no latitude of construction. Suppose that Texas shall be admitted into the Union on the 1st of January, 184G, aud by the act of admission hercitizenbecome citizens of the United States; wiil not their citizenship date trom the act of Congress declaring them such? But they are to be admitted on the footing of the original States. Very well. The original States are prohibited from sending to Congress, Representatives not seven years ciiizens,of Senators not nine years citizens. Texas may possibly get over the difficulty by electing Senators and Representatives from among persons "who have been citizens ofthe required time,and inhabitants of Texas at the time of their election, and who have never lost their citizenship.--The Constitution requires that thu persons elected to Congress snail be "inhabitants of the State from which they shall be chosen. But it is not lor us. but those who have brought about the difficulty to point out the way of overcoming it. Nor do we suppose .the ruling party will hesitate to adopi any measure deemed expedient for ihe adui ss on of Texas, on account of the provisions ofthe Constitution. The oath of members to support the Constitution and the laws made in pursuance therefore, as the paramount law of the land, has not in this Texas matter been found strong enough to balance the obligaiioii of members to purty. Allegiance to ihe Constitution and the country have yielded, and will yield again, to the more powerful allegiance to parly. Congress in 1841-2 passed an act, in conformity to the Constitution, requiring ihe- States to be districted for the election of one member from each district. Four of theSiate, New Hampshire, Georgia, Mississippi and Missouri refused to carry out this law nullified it and elected their Representatives by gener al ticket. The majority in the House, in the face of the Constiiutioii and their oaths, admitted these members to their seats. " By this' unconstitutional act, twenty men were admitted into Congress, by the mere act ol a party majority in the House, having no lawful right to sit there. , Theso men took part

in the passage oflaws which govern us. Laws made in direct violation of our Constitution which is declared to be the supreme law of

he land. With such palpably unconstitu tional acts snd precedents before us, acqriesced in by the people, and gloried in by the party enacting them, we have little hope that any measure, which the ruling party may deem expedient o consummate the work of annexation, can be prevented, by showing tint they are in direct opposition to the conitution ot the Uuited States. That instru ment will be construed and , molded to suit and purpose of party, which nartv leaders may determine upon. Such has been the case heretofore; and such will continue to be the case in time to come, each new precedent adding strength to any party determined to enact its will, and weakening the moral force of .the Constitution.; Cincinnati Gazette AMERICAN CHARACTER Neal, in the chit-chat of his "Saturday Ga zette," speaks as follows of the energy and originality ofthe AmericanThe American of Alleghania or Yankeedoo dledom-that re.tlesg wiry man, balancing himself upon two legs of his chair, his straw hat turned up behind, and with bis ped al extremities too far through his pantaloons, as he hacks the table with a keen edged knife has a trait the result doubiless of his parentage the. influence ofthe energetic and enterprising ol all nations, nourished into luxuriance by the effect of institutions a tra't which distinguishes him from other peo ple. " Observe now, as he lodges his heels higher than bis bead. Would you cramp him by precedent, shackle his action by the control of rule? Not a moment will elapse before his limbs may be wreathed ii.to a new attitude more outre than any which ingenuity has yet devised. His legs are dangling as human legs, perhaps, never dangled before tie sits upon the rail, or lies extended on a bench, in an endless variety of experiments iu regard to facilities for repose. If he smokes, what a powerof suction ifhe chews what an energy in the performance; and when he eats how prodigious the saving of time! - It is impossible to cast him in a mould he is not lo be fenced in by fixed ideas, and cannot be induced to follow a beaten path. Ask him he can do whatever man has done easily there is no merit in that. It 13 what man
