On the 8th of January next, we presume thnt the Democrats will, as heretofore, hold a State Convention for the nomination of candidates, to he voted for in August next, for the two highest office in the State. Up to this time, wo believe that no public movement, in reference to this important matter, has been run de by the Democrats in any quarter. The Whigs, however, are less inactive, and at least one county meeting" (in Henry county) his been held. That meeting is a significant one, for it does what has not recently been done at anv convocation of whigs, if our memory serves us. It absolutely declares in favor of contesting the next State election on the ground of principle, and that principle the only one avowed, by the way, is declared to be that of the Free Soilers. This we say, is significant, because it indicates what the attitude of the whigs will probably be. They will not, of course, attempt to fight us on the obsolete " ideas of whiggery, the old issues, for the revival of which some of their organs are already clamoring in oiher quarters, now that Taylor is elected. They will not fight us on those issues ahne, in a State contest. We have floored them too often, to admit of that. Their eflort, therefore, will he to seize upon the free soil issue, in the hope of a union with the sincere friends of that doctrine. Some of them, to be sure, hope that the question will be compromised out of sight this winter by Congress, so that General Taylor and his friends may not be troubled by it. But it is not likely that such a compromise will be brought about. From what we know of their leaders, it is not improbable that the Free Soilers will primarily assume nn independent attitude, and stand aloof from both parties. While maintaining that position, they may prescribe a test, for the purpose of enforcing from both the whig and democratic parties an expression of sentiment in regard to the issue presented. We presume, in such an event, that no one will doubt that the whigs will have the advantage of the democrats. The one party will profess any thing, or nothing, to attain to power; the other will be governed in gome decree by patriotic motives, and will profess no'hing but what it honest-! ly thinks is right, and what it will execute if it can. If our view of the subject, whirh we thus hastily de- j lineatc, be correct, our friends will be convinced that ! we shall have a hard battle to fight next year, and! that it behoves us to be as active as the whis are in ! preparing for it. It is Irue, we have given only the! shady side of tin; picture: bot we have done so, be-' eauo we think it highly important that o:ir friend should contemplate it. Wc have already thrown out suggestions as to the attitude which we think should b nnrnnd by the Wr!f rn tlemccracy, an attitude right in itself, and unbiassed by the " ultrtims " of cither the l!n-k or South, claiming f r ourselves only what h just and right in a nntiop.nl point r.f view, and ready to accord to other sections all that they nre entitled to. Upon such a platform, we can surely triumph and safely stand. To erect it, it is only necessary tl.it the jenp should assemble together at once, manifest their will, and send their delegates to the State Convention so that their wishes may be man.fegtcd. This done, and the will of the people honestly carried out by the Convention, und the result will not be doubtful.

Secretary r Wur W. W. S. Bus. We believe it is a matter of general consent that Gen. Taylor will appoint W. W. S. Bliss of the U. S. Army, to be Secretary of War. No valid objections can be made to such a selection. Maj. Bliss is a gallant soldier, an accomplished gentleman, and ripe scholar. His duties as nn officer of the army have been active and arduous for several years past, and hi position as Adjutant General to General Taylor during the campaign in Florida, at.d through the .Mexican war, made him prominent a.s an officer. And throughout the whole of bus olhcial and military career, Maj. Bliss has given proof

ot great military skill and furnished evidence ot possessing signal ability as a writer and thinker. As a nathematician Maj. Bliss has for a long time ranked among the first in the country ; and his active connection with the army for several years, added to his ft mil in r acquaintance with its ollieers and the military defences of the country, render him eminenMy qualified to discharge the duties of chief of the Wur Department. There will be a propriety and fitnes9 in the selection of Maj. Blis as chief of the War Department, that may not strike all with the same force as it does us wc allude to the intimate professional intercourse that has so lout existed between Maj. Bliss and Gen. Taylor, and tpe unabated confidence and friendship which still subsists between them. Pittsburgh Commercial Juurnal. If Gen. Taylor possesses the most trifling spirit of generosity or gratitude, we do not see how he can fail to bestow a most important appointment upon Maj. Bliss. No intelligent man doubts that to him more than any other one man, the General owes the fame which has made him President elect, lie was the author of those admirable ofiicia! reports which drew forth the commendations of the world, and which prove conclusively that the pen can win more glorious victories than the sword. They evince his transcendent merit, and prove beyond doubt his capacity to fulfil the duties of any othce which General Taylor can entrust to hirn. If Taylor does not bestow upon him a most distinguished place, he will prove himself as much of an ingrate as politicians generally are. 07"The following appeared in the Lawrencebtirjjh Register of Oct. 11. We should hive copied it before this, but like many other things which we have been requested to pub! Uh within the past few months, it was postponed by the press of matter relative to the Presidential election. Our table is at least a foot deep with deferred matter, which we are overhauling as fast as we can. Col. J. II.

The Taylorites of Cincinnati, propose to raise the sum of five thousand dollars for the benefit of the poor, instead of spending their money in nn illumination spree. It is an expression of gratitude, they say, for success which shall neither bo unpleasant to our opponents nor wasteful in expenditure." A call in the pipers concludes thus: The friends of stub a course are requested to meet at the Hall of the Cincinnati College, at 7 o'clock, Saturday evening, for the purpose of appointing a committee of Indies to receive and disburse the funds," and is signed by Mindry gentlemen. The ei me course is recommended bv the Louisville Journal at Louisville. The object or motive must be apparent. It is simply a sort of bonus or bribe, to purchase the votes of the poor hereafter. Beally charitable or benevolent men, nerd not the stimulus of a party victory, to open their purees for the benefit of the poor. But bad as the motive no doubt is, on the part of the movers in the business, we nre glnd that those who are poor are likely to reap s much benefit from these publicans and charitable pharisees. CitncKETT the .Second ! The Journal of the J:ld contains the commencement of the history of the lfe, services and exploits of Judge Thompson, the Whig Secretary of State, which is to be continued in future numbers, until the whole is completed. So far the history touches upon the military nnd heroic exploits of the Judge. The second part, will probably detail the equally wonderful facts connected with the hero's Lgil and Judicial life, wherewith many laughable incidents are cumeeled ; and the third will be deVoted to his political transactions, including the Free Soil episode. The history is no doubt written by the Judge's own hand, and must therefore bo considered perfectly authentic ; while it establishes the equally interesting fact, that other heroes, ran write "C;)in. rnentiries" ns well as Catr. Hid this history teeii written before the nomination of Taylor, he might have been totally eclipsed, and Thompson instead of old Zack, President of the United Stfttes !

Whatever he may do, certainly they have no right to grumble. OrThe N. Y. Tribune reports "a sermon on the educational wants of the West," by Bev. H. W. Beccher. delivered at the Plymouth Church, Brooklyn, on the 12th instant. We have read it with a good desl of interest, and would be gbid to publish it if we could afford room. We hopo it will be read extensively in the East, nt nny rate. It will serve to enlarge the narrow-contracted, and fallacious ideaa now too prevalent there about our Western Empire, notions which arc disseminated by beggarly fanatics and fools whoso intellect is not much above that of an oyster. We think that a return to the cnt, by the way, has benefitted Mr. Beecher himself. If so, we are glud of it, for his sake as well us tho sake of others.

The Democratic Party. Ccir" The National Era. the Liberty paper at Washington, has the following, the truth of which our readers will recognise: To rs Remf.mlerki). The strong nttuchmcnt of the Democrats to their party ha.- passed into a proVerb, and ru device was more common among the atlvNats of General Taylor, i:i the campaign just closed, than a constant reference to this, fir the purpose of sipping the confidence of the disaiFecled Whigs in the dissenters from the Democratic party, with whom thev were for the lime associated. 'Trust

mem not, was mo cry tnev can:oi cuauge ineir spots their devotion to party is paramount to their i i . .i . ' :n i patriotism, and at the last momem Vu win mm yourselves deceived." Wc ask those to whom this insidious appeal was constantly made, never to forget that, while Horace Greeley, Columbus Debt no, and several other leading Whigs, who had repudiated the nomination of their party, ond were recognised as its uncompromising opponents, subsequently swallowed their indignation, returned to their party, and embraced what they had put away, there was not a single leading Democrat who bolted the Baltimore nomination on anti-slavery grounds, who did not maintain his position with inflexible consistency, laboring, inilit and main, to the last moment, to make his opposition effective. We state these facts, not for the purpose of reflecting offensively upon the conduct of such men as Greeley, Graham, Delano, &, C ., but to show dissenting Whigs how much injustice they did their dissenting friends of the Democratic pn rty, if they sullercd their confidence in them to be impaired by the uncandid appeals of unscrupulous partisans. Grain. The New York Herald of the Hist ulf., in speaking of the grain crop of Europe, ties the following Iwnguage: The markets cf (Irett Britain are in a very unsettled, artificial state. In the face of a d liciency, both in quantity and quality of a rain harvest, and a destruction of the potato crop ns extensive as in any previous year, we see prices ruling comparatively low, nnd the supply of breadstutls nnd potatoes upon the market unu-ually largo. This is entirely an artificial state of things, and is caused principally by the anxiety exhibited by the producers to get rid of their damaged grain and diseased potatoes. As soon as this has been done, und the domestic supply i confined entirely to tne better qualities of grain, &c. the market will feel the influence of the deficiency. and doubtless an advance be realized.

Tho democrats have a nominal majority in the Senate, but wc suppose that Cameron of Pa., who is more than half whig, and perhaps y.wie others, will give the whigs a majority on the tariff, and perhaps some other measures, unless they lose ns much by Southern whig senators as they gain by fthy democrats, like Cameron.

He estimated the annual receipts under the taritf of 134t at $2SJOO,000. It met with tin; jests and ridicule ot the opposition. After a long, deliberate argument in the Senate, Daniel Webster declared that it would not yield $17,000 ,(.00. Here were two eminent fetatesmcn at variance. The isue secures Mr. Walker a high reputation for financial skill. The annual revenue of tho lariti of Id Hi, as officially ascertained, ia $:n,üTi,44;lf or $14,000,000 ovci the estimate of Mr. Webster. In tho present wnr, seventy thousand soldiers have been in pay, and we have supported our armies with food, clothing and munition of war, at a distance ol several thousand miles from our capital. We have held po-session also of an area of the enemy's country equal probably to tho extent of our own. As in 1612, we have borrowed money to carry on the war; but, in doing so, the confidence infixed in the minds of the lenders by the Secretary has enabled him entirely to avoid the embarrassments of a former day. In entering the money market as a borrower, he convinced the capitalists that it would be impossible for the United States securities to fall below par, and tho reasons are obvious. For the past year, tho revenue from ordinary sources was $30,17,709. In 1345, during a year of peace, tho current expenses were ,40,0015. Annual revenue from tariff of 1S4G - - 33,173,709 Annual current expenses in a time of peace ,40,082 Surplus revenue - $12,73d,C7 Thus the tnritr ol 1640 will yield, in a season of peace twelve and a half millions of dollars over the current expenses.

Albert Callatin tunk under th weight of his labors ut tho head of the treasury and letired ; yet the government at his day was in its ttilaticy. o hnd neither the State, iho population, nor the commerce, of I lie present limes. Mr. W alker still continues to control the operations of his oflicial duties. In all his sickness, ho has not failed keeping up with eiirrent business of the treasury, to examino hu otlicitil letters, nnd to give Ilm necessary instruction to hi offn-ers. When unable to sit up, he lum perlonned his labors in bed, where many of his answers to the calls of Congress have been concocted. Even while recruiting at Bockaway last summer, he kent two cleiks iiiuler him constantly employed with ollicial busine.. It was at that time, gähnt ihn renionstran.es of bis phv siei in, that he entered into an examination of the various plans for building our custom house, carried out all ihe preliminary arrangements, and issued his instructions for commencing Ihe work. Nor does the result show any want of mature, consideration. The edifice to he erected will display a liborality nnd t isto which must endear Secretary Walker's nauio to our citizens while it granite walls lnt. The o Hirers immediately connected with the Secretary appear to lei imbiK-d wilh much of his energy nod untiring assiduity. His private secretary (Mr. Abert) is a gentleman ol ability and decision. Ih is the sou of Col. Abert, tho admirable chief of topographical engineers. The younger Abert is by profession a lawyer ; nnd he had just embarked in the practice of the law, when hu was otleied the position near Mr. Walker which he now hold.. The business merits ol MrClintock Young (the Acting Secretary) havo heretofore iceeived our highest commendation. He was one of President Jackson's favorites, and well worthy of his confidence. Mr. iWcCulloh, the Comptroller, was called to that office while practising with great reputation at tho Maryland bar. He devotus more of hin tune to the public business than any of the cleiks under him. Ho is a man, too, of fine discriminating judgment, and his decisions will compare with those of any of Ids predecessors. The 1'imt Auditor, Dr. Collins, is also indefatigable in ti e discharge of his duties. There am others wo might mention with equal credit, but it is unnecessary. A far as tho Secretary could have control, ho has selected officers of practical talents and sterling integrity. Tho result of his happy combination is, that while tho alTuirs of tho treasury have been conducted in tho true spirit of enlightened liberality, all proper prudenco nnd economy havo boeii observed. It is but reasonable that wo should confide in a man who, in tho stormy tariff battle of 18IG, threw overboard tho whole system rf niinininins and specifics, nnd resolutuly maintained his ground in favor of a tovenue ad valorem taritf. against all tho importunities of northern democrats and tho willing indifference oven of soma of our jouthrn liiends. I he. ordeal he then went tliroiiuli satisfied u that wo needed no more evidence of his ability ns a leader, or his integrity as a democrat. Ho possesses tho Iraternal fooling of our people, and wo shall d.'eply regret any step that ho may take at tho closo ol tho present administration, which may deprivo us of his eminent services.

It is a comparatively modem notion that 7i?;i should have any thing to do in such cases; a notion us indelicate and indecent, s it is altogether erroneous.

'' wlueh is that after great On that day he tool; a bath. On Monday, his nrIM expenditure of n.oney. exhaustion 1 patience, and

still raining him. he bathed it in alcohol. On Tuesday morning he again took a warm bath, and felt much better. About four o'clock in the afieriiiKiu, however, the first spasm attacked him, caused by the sight of a glass of water. This was a quick, spasmodic fhuddrr, nnd involuntary drawing back. It appears that be ban long entertained the belief that he would ultimately die of hydrophobia, and known to exhibit much distress of mind from thi anticipation. The first spasm, following the pain of his arm, satisfied him that his time had come; nnd that death in its must horriblo form was approaching. Frotn this time the fearful spasms continued to increase in violence to a short tune before hi death, becoming finally frightfully violent. So frnntio were his struggles that it required the united strength i t eieht men to restrain him ; und had he not been finallv secured otherwise, it would scarce have prevented his doing injury to himself and others. Chloroform was employed yesterday, with success, und no was enabled, with great c II ort, to swallow u small portion of water; but the spisins returned with increased violence, until he finally sank away, exhausted, in death. During the whole time he was in possession of his reason, except when in his agonies. Tho peculiarity of his case was, that tho lieoe idea or thought of water, or any liquid, suggest! d by the sight of anything employed lor their conveyance, induced spasms instantly. It was this which rendered the employment of chloroform very dillicult. Ho was thrown into violent epasuis the moment he was conscious, t:,at the chloroform upproached him. Dr. Graves was iir.t called to attend ihe case, and a number of our best physicians were also in close attendance, ami every tiling was done which skill nnd experience could Miggest, but without avail. It was beyond the power of human aid. The disease progressed with extraordinary rapidity, manifesting its firpt active symptom on Tuesday afternoon, and terminating in death early last evening. It is indeed a fearful and mysterious joe lying dormant for nearly four months, and springing into instant and deadly activity when aroused. New Yokk.
