Hey of a succession of Democratic Administrate ps. The Whigs'had possesion of the State sovornmptit, Legislative and Exective, ftnd was re-

J^onstble for its polioy that policy wart ruinous to the b«st interests of tho State, and it will be a lofig time before tho Peoplo entrust them with po\\*er ngain. Mr. McCarty spoke sneeringly of Gen 1'iercB, the Uemoeratio Candidate lor President he thought him a very harmless man both ib Mexico and in the United States, always excepting his conduct at Baltimore, where h« pkroed all the old fogies, and some of the young ones to», procuring the nomination for himself. Query If the Democratic Candidate was so expert at piercing old fogies, will he not be very likely to make day light shine through Gun. Winfield Scott tho chief of old fogies, and his right hand man William A. Graham? Such appears to be the present prospect —neither Hasty Soup nor Graham Bread can prevent it. Mr. McCarty appears to be like a weak man with a heavy pack, struggling in a morass-

is evidently no match fur Gov. Wright either 9 debater nor as a sound practical mm, and with the load of Whig folly and extravagace to pack on his backi his girations in the mire of Whig policy and politics, are truly ludiorous—he suecoeds in one thing if he fails in all others! add that ia he impresses upon the minds of his hearers, that he haa no chance whatever, of becoming Governor, and that he himself is conscious of tbe fact. Gov. Wright has an easy time of it with Mr. McCarty—It is not necessary, neither have we the meant of attempting a report of Gov. Wright's speech, as we did not take aotea but one thing we must say the speech was worthjrof the Governor of Indiana! worthy of a State which "knows no Bast, no West, no North, no South?" nothing but the Union, One and indivisible, now and forever! Worthy of a Party! which took the helm of ^Tof affairs when the good ship had been abandoned by incompetent officers, and was rushing to rain without rudder or compass, and the black flag of wpudtation and dishonor.

m.y engender no

regret that be should have undertaken so Jjpcless a task as runing agauist Joha G.. Davis fof Congress in tbis District. Mr. Barbour's public acts, and bis pu^Uoly exprajsed ppinions, are/air subjects for criticism, and he must excuse us for occasipnal allusions to them. At Carlisle Ale* Duvis charged Mr. Barbour with ndvocaiing free Banks before the: people, and opposing tfoem in the Conveniion this Mr. Barbour flatly denied, *nd when Mr. Davis proposed to give his authors, Mr. Barbour would not allow him. The records show that Mr. Barbour" did oppos**"the.free banking system in the Convention, and the fact is nofbrioUs thnt he did advocate that system before the people like Gen. Scott the Whig candidate for the Presidency, lie may have changed bis opinions, about election time, but it is rather lato in the day to announce it.

Mr. Barbour opposes the. Congressional Homestaid Bill, granting land to/actual sellers Mr. Davis is in favor of it! Mr. Harbour-is Wbigjrf the old school! high Tariff: national bank. Laftd distribu tion, and Bankrupt law included. Mr. Barbour may not advocate these "measurs rtilw! it wrruld be exceedingly unpuputar to do so, but tliat'tbey are his real sentiments! his whole past life is guarantee. Mr Dav,i« is a Democrat of the old school! an QUI Hlekry and a Voung Hickory Denwcral! a strong mihded, self made man, enw nently a man of the people whereve* he goes he makes friends, and leaves favorable impressions he is and ever lias been opposeeffo a National Bauk opposed-lo a high Protection Tariff, opposed to wholesale land distribution, State debt1 assumption and Bankrupt Laws. Few men make.a more favorable impression in Congress than Mr. Duvis did, the first session! he was disiiuguishetf for his industry aud attention to business, and inde fatigueable in his exertions to promote the •welfasa, and to advance the interests of bis constituents. Mr. Davis in not a Lawyer by profession, yet his mind is weH stored with legal attainments he is not a professional speaker, but few men make more favorable impressions' from the stump! that he wilt beat M. Barbour btfdly, there is no deubl and it appears Hl.e wasting amonition to say any thing mare about it. Our Whig friends generally, gijre such unmistakeable evidences of conscious weakness and antisipotad defeat, and every where appears to be so heartily ashamed of -their fertwr principles and mettaures of polioy. that we feel like dealing with them tooderty. and shall refrain from saying many harsh things, which the oon* duet of some of their Isaders justly morit.

"WeshaH not probably carry the Stats Ik October, bet look out for a •lorrn ia Novembr." Here is another extract, which we find in the Be public of Friday morning "Tott muit not bo dtscojuraged if tbo Stats jpesDemoeraltc at tho Octoifer election, for Jo. Wright unjuatly popular, aud is runuiu^ oa the Uotiiodfet qaoaUon atfd maay Democrat^ wiii vote for hiiu that will voto for Scott."

Now this is rich, decidedly so. The thing given up fairly. "'We shall not probably carry the Srate in October!"' Why then are thej' so profuss of abuse of Governor Wright and others of the Democratic ticket? Do they hope by abusing the Governor, to frighten democrats, and induce them to trade some other candidate for him?— It may be so they may be preparing for a specu lation in votes. By abusing the Governor, they htnay hops to frighten us, and induce us to vote for some one of the rank and file of their tioket, ou condition that they vote for our Governor, and save him Irom defeat. But they will not "catch old birds with chaff." Governor Wright will be slected'Without any trading or bargaining, by Iwen ly (honttand mnjority, and the whole democratic ticket wiirbe elected by a majority so astounding, that the opposition will be annihilated. Of course aOer the leaders have given it up. the people will be slow to embark in a sinking ship. Those letter writers should have kept bauk their admissions of defeat a little longer after writing such letters to Washington, they cannot with a very good face, undertake to rally their party to the useless attempt to sustain- a ticket already past hope of success

'180...'..... 1850 1851... 1852 («tta*atod)

In 1835( Aud. Rep. p. S) the expenditures of the State Government were 103,773 21.. In the aatne year the number of acres of asssessed taxable land was 5.210,735. The number of polls was 77041. The total value of taxables was 947,353,885. At this time Nosh Noble was Governor and thfe whigs were in power. Even the internal improvement system had not been adopted, and of course there was no expendature on its account.

In 1854 (Aud. Rep. p. 64)the expenditures were $71,810 36. In the same year the number of acres of assessed land Was 19.899,670. The number of taxable polls was 161.5.3. Tho total value of taxables was $208,773,643. At this time Joseph A. Wright WHS Governor and the Demo cratic party held the reins of power.

But in order that there may be r.o cavtling-^-no room for dispute, we are willing to take the year 1852. with its expendatures of# 148,0JO-*-which is some 865.0J more than the average of democratic expendatures. and contrast the ability of the States to pay the expenses under Noble's and those un der Wright's administration.

If the read«r will take the trouble to cipher a little he will find the following results: That the charge to each taxable poll for administering the State Government in 1835. was within a fraction of Si,35 while in 1852, it is less than 91 cents. That the tax for the same purpose for each aore of assessed land in 1835 was within a very small ffao tion of two cents: while in 1852 it is less than nineteenths of one cent. Thn contrast in favor of the Democratic party is greater when we take the per centage or the total amount of taxable property.

It will thus be seen that while the average expen daturas are less now than when Noble, Wallace. Bigger. *ad the whigs were in office, the ability of the people to meet these expenses is three times greater when we take into consideration the nutn her of acres of taxable land twice, as'grea( when we take the number of taxable polls and nearly FIVE times as great when we consider the total value of property, which is the correct standard, as property, is the basis of taxation.

The people may well ask the question, if we are so much riuher as a State now than in 1 $35, why is it thaf taxes are almost if not quite as high now as then? The question is easily answered The whigs plunged the State into a vast abyss of debt, the interest of which is now semi-annually paid by tax ation. For the year Ending July 1st. 1851, there was paid on account of interest $106,477. For the same year 1851 the expenses of the state Government amounted to only K71. 810 36. If the people are disposed to complain of the onerous burden of taxation, let them reftr to the above figures. Much more than three-fourths of all the taxes collected goes to pay the interest on the public debt left as a legacy by tit* Whigs to the democrats when the people rjofte in their might and ihdignanly hurled that patty from power.

The miserable humbug cry of "extravagance" raised by the whig leaders against the democrats, is thrown out as a mere bliifti to itfde- their own wasteful extravagance and the bittec. fruits which are now being reaped from it. Were It nst for the immense burden in tbe shape of the Public Debt, bequeathed by the whig* to tho democrats the amount of taxation for Mate purposes would be merely nominal—not to exceed ten cents on the hundred dollars. Since the year 1847 (four years) there has been paid out for interest on this debt the sum ol $842,987, while the amount paid for carry ing on all^the departments of Suite government during the same period was 9328,121 94.

We have thus given to our readers a few facta and figures, taken irom official source, end of course open to all, which they would do well to ponder and think about. We shown that while the State has much more than doubled her population and increaised her wealth nearly fife fold, the anneal expendatures. instead of increaaing have actually decreased. We have shown that more than three-fourths ol all the revenue collected by the tax gatherer gees to New York and to Louden to pay theiotereat on the Stale deirf orested by the wfaigs and in return lor whkh the poople of ftuKSM reo*t*ed no adequate equivalent. Four millIons of these bonds were sold and transferred by oar accredited agents, all of whom were whigs. for which they received nothing—nothing vommo! This vast sum which would caery on our £fate Government without resort to aoy uuutf&a whatever for mora then FlFTi' YEARS was absolutely SQUANDERED by wing' agents, and office froldetna* They can show nothing for it. fefioer Citizens, this is the party which is twSW endeavoring ride into power on the pitiful cry of "'erfrasejtfjtce!** Their impudence astottadiagti»ui &evertbeless kit palpaols—it cab fey%9ep.of §11 man.

As population and wealth increases, it is but nau tural to suppose that .the ex^endatures neoessary for osrrying on the affairs of State will also increase. Such ^t least is the excuse given by the whigs when they are told that the average annual expendatures under Mr. Polk's administration were some #*^,000,000. while now they are over 841,000,U00.

We have before us at this moment the AutfiforV report for the jrear 1835 and report of the same officer for 1851, and from these documents- we will show the real difference between whig extravagance and democratic extravagance. We will not resort to guess work, but will quote tho official re-cord—-its facts and its figures.

How Gea. Pierre increased ta Popularity tMid won tbe En teem* of the People* Franklin Pierce waseleoted to the Legislature at the age of 24. 1.

They liked him so well that he served four years. His ennduct and abilities were so deserving, that in 1831, he was elected Speaker of the House, The vote he received on this ooossion was highly complimentary

He received a majority of 109 out of 250 members. He still grew in grace, for in 1832, he was reelected jspmtker, receiving 150 votes out of 2^8 oast. tn IB32, the same year, he as elected, lo Con-gross-by a majority of 8,000.

/'In 1834 he was re-elated to Congress by a majority of 9000, running far ahead of his tioket. In 183$ he was tlecled to the Senate of the United Stateis. receiving 160 votes out of 212 in tho House, and 11 votes out of 12 oast in tha Sen* ate.

In 185) he was chosen President of the Convention to amend the State constitution, by a vole of 257 out of 264, une-third of whom were whigt.

We challenge tfur opponent to produce tho record of another suoh a life.

Smith O'Brien.

^The rumof of SMITK O'BatsN's dying oondition itvhia prison at Van Diamtt's land, under the cruel persecution of tlie minions of English power, has awakened a thrill ot sympathy, in hia oountrymen at 1tome. The Dublin Nation sbys:—

We have endeavored to draw aside the heavy curtain of apathy and neglect which hangs between Ireland aud that fatal spot in the Southern Sees. There the Irish Captain aits mournfully in Mite valley of the shadow of death!' Shall they murder SMITH O'BIUKN? Answer the question, men of Ireland It is the first and the most vital which GOD and your conscienoe demand of you. Answer it! Shall men wjih great purpose, and earnest faith, and stern resolve—shall they indeed fail before the face of Heaven and earth to save that precious lite Is there no renewed effort to be made Are there no virtues patient to-day in Ireland but those of meekness and longanimity Are the voices of empty bravado and vacillating pursuits, to be the only trumpeters of her name throughout the world What cause should claim your fealty and devotion, if ihis do npt Of all nation*) duties it is the highest, the holiest, the most imperative.

Though you should win victory aftfcr vkMory, & ery iota you desire of religious and politioal frireom, yet you would be oishonored were the fate of 0'BUIE.N placed for one moment ia abeyance. There is to time now for coolness and deliberation for every word we speak there Is a throb the leas of life to th«* heart of the great eaile.

Is he to die far off in that dismal prison-House under the ministering hands of DBN.YISOX and of tf*s?0im Shall he pass, away with that terrible longing of the soul unfuffilled for some loved presence For one breath of the air of freedom and home Is it written that SMITH 0'BatB» shall die this bitter death, and no strong voice be lifted up in remonstrance and denociation Tbem map be sympathy in the hearts of the people, hut so long as it be weak and voiceless, it is entitled to indignation and contempt

There are efforts which canttoi he real There isamsgnette power of united action, which, in its invisible force, pervades the intellectual space* and bears down every obstacle in its path. We have seen ss yet no evidence of this divine afflatus: Tho,people iutve spoken, but not with tha majesty and strength of inspiration. Ireland may be weakened and degraded, but If abe be rot dead and cold, «he haa not vet loot the power whereby abe nan command the* repatriattoe oir&*ito«Kjf.

It istftdead aorribl*49 contempiatathis miserable end 10 one of the noblest men that ever linked himself with tile cause of the people, is there do voice ia this country 10 protest against the outrage! Have tbe aympalfljae of his countrymen hare, been 40 deadened by prosperity*that they cat* hear these tidings anmovad Oh I England, if to the black nataJovge of your sins egatnst Ireland, you add tha last and damnabl* 4nte/ the awder? of a brave, nhkudroiia man, jshe» lias at yessr meroy tn a dtata^t solfotidetj, f«r£roai the land and (be fiends be loved, with a. paaafon that oafy socb eoula as hts are oapable o^-no pentiesfce eaa atoiM^fr po aa«*

•d at soma of Aa ahs^i^argiima'dilt^aoma'of tha Whigpep»a,agaia^jfraakfin Fierce. We are amused at the ridioulousi^wu^lity of the charges, aad grievedr that public ^pjpjnent will for a 090* ment aaatala those who aa^aaorapuiously roanufkoture false accusations apdnst so pure a man.

There Uvea not in this TJuion, a Statesman, or man in any public capacity, of principle mo correct, of miad mora pure* of heart more sincere, and of character more unblemishable than Frank* lin Pierce. His talsnts are of a very lugh order, fully equal to the duties of the position for which he is a candidate. His sentiment* are liberal and generous his private lhe ia spotless and pure beyond all suspicion —he is not ambition* of office —had he been, he might have pasaad his whola life, from maturity until the prtseat bour, in public office. "k Jlie haa peculiar qualifications for the" office of Preaident he la uaoommiUed to any fttoiions or clique, or sectional interest he will go into the Procidentia! chair uuttammeled and he has the in* dependeaoe of apirit to retain his freedom: he is a man of decision, of firmness, of unswerving adherenoa to the right and the true is administration will prove, wa have no doubt* a judicious, prosperous, and happy OQOI «ve shall feel honored in aiding to place suoh a man in the highest office In the gift of tbe nation. T^~

No man ever presented by the democrats as a candidate for President, has tiered to the Whigs ao impracticable a mark to shoot at the arrows of detraction fall barmleaa at his feet, the shafts of malignity ro bound ineffectual ftona the polished armour of purity aod of truth with which be ie girded: not one of the charges made against him haa been sustained or can be austaiaed by the merest apology of evidence he stands before us, a candidate for our suffrages, every way entitled to our confidence* Hs will be elcctod, moat triumphantly elected, and then few and far between will appear thoso who will acknowledge they ever opposed him.

Piaroe and the Catholioa.

The following letter, says the N. Y. Kvening Post, signed by thirty-six Gatholto citiaens of New Hampshire and by the Catholio pastor of Manchester and Concord, a copy of which has been handed to os for publication, should put an end to tho calumnious falaehoods which have been so indust riously circulated about Gen. Pierce in cuttnec-' Hon with the religious test in the New Hampshire constilution. It Is addressed to a' gentleman who had written on behalf of tho Roman Catholic voter.-* of the far west for correct information, where it could he prooured, of Gen. Piece's Catholic neighbors, fellow citiaens, and constituents of the porscribed religious faith. Their answer is unreserved and conclusive. From the pastor to the humblest member of his flock, their testimony hr united, not only as his entire Uberftlity of opitiiod, but as lo strenuous exerlious to remove what ha himself repeatedly styled, "tho stigma of religious intolerance," form the New Hampshire constitution.

This letter not only tmils to the counter the base charges of such meu as Conrad and Robinson, but olinohes the nails after they are driven home.

Dear Sir:—Understanding thnt an impfgrsfftJthas obtained in Wiseotmin io a considerable extent and especially among ilint portion of' your pimple that are Catholics, thai' Franklin Piorce, of tlii-i State, was unfriendly to Cstholics, hi ••reljgl.pt test contained In the Constitution of this State tho understgfted Catholic ciilsens of Concord deetrfed oar duty to say that the Catholics of this State and of New England, aud especially that purlin 11 of them that are of his political opinions, entoi tain for him the highest rovpeot ss apoliiicatan and' a man. Especially do they feel under great obli*^ gations to him for his powerful effort* in the Convention to expung that odious "test" from tlio Constitution of New Hampshire, and for bis efforts IKfore (he people to have the amendment to (he Constitution adopted which provides for striking out the religious test. Any impression of the kite! indicated, does Oett. ,Pierce great utyu sties, and wo regret that for partisan purposes, hs has been tuiirenresented.

We send this 10 you,, nol for lecfioneering tisan purposes, but as asinple act of jujiice 10 ono^i of the strongest opponents the odious "test" ha* itt New Hampshire and to one of the most iibearl un tolerant of its oitizt)s.

We have been presented jn several meetings and at the last towp meeting wheu 0i# proposed amend* ment was submitted to the people, and having heard Gett. Pierce address the people in favor of abolisbingthts "test any representation that h« is opposed to striking out thai ie*t, or that he jis* hot exerted himself to Jtetga that test aboli«fcj#d must ^rooeed either from profound ignoiance, malicious misrepreseatation of (he man, his char sctef. and course ia relation to this that question.
