This manepuvre of our partyGovernor, was intended no doubt, to keep his dunes together but the intelligent Democrats of that District, will, we have no doubt, be guided by the competency of the two rival candidates, Mr. Haughton of Martin 'stands a head and shoulders above' Chapman his Locofoeo opponent. From present indications, we are led to believe that Jesss I). Bright, the Lieulentenant Governor of the Locofoeo party (as he says) will not have the casting vote in the Senate next winter.

We make this statement on the authority of a entleman who was present when the petition was signed, and who stands ready to verify it if denied.

Georgia, still true! By tha National Iirtlligencer, we have sufficient returns t enable us to say, that the Whigs Iiave reversed the order of things, ol last year. Then the representation in Congres.9 stood: six Locofocos to two Whigs; this year it will stand about five Wl.igs to three Locofocos. There was no election fur Governor. Maine.

Bethany, Sejit. 30, 18 14. Deak Sih: In rely to your favor, reeeivtd this morning, I hasten to say that although at no time I take an active r r 1 1 in the party politics of our country, and scarcely feel at libsfiy to talk upon th subject at present still, when called upon to perform an act of justice to a fellowcitizen, and especially to one to whom our country has been so long and so deeply indebted for various and numerous i in -portant services, I cannot refuse to state what I myself know of him in reference to his general character at home, especially when through the violence of party politics, that character has been very generally assailed. My personal acquaintance with Mr. Clay, though of several years' standing, has not indeed been of the most intimate kind. True, I have been in his company at Washington City, as well as in Lexincton. I have seen him at home in his own house, and in the houses of his neighbors, and better still, I have seen him frequently at church, not'only while pre- ;. cr i' i! rc.P"' diT'issiou, but be- ' f: at tiOSt Oil evt ( dl veqrs ; i r, am yr 1 iit.U :uui.r i Mi fin ; KM, in C ! - a : i t!i r : o r : j kur.w h . in l it r, at ijC I " St ! .

Having recently been called upon from various sources to give my opinion of Mr. Clays moral character it being reported that I should have said that I saw him enraged in card playing and in some other matters irt vry creditable for which there is not the slightest foundation should yon think that these statements, though made in direct reply to your inquiries, and for your own eves, of suffirient importance.

There is a Whig majority, taking either the vote for assessor or that ol Inspector.

The talk of liberty in mooih of our present race of Demo-rats, is a burlesque upon that sacred word. If they fight for any kind of .iberty, it is the exclusive right of public plunder. They have no principles, no aim or object, only 'a opposition to the Whigs, and the annexation ol' Texas. Public faith, the law of nations. juMn-o to slate debtors, are nothing; it's Polk and Texas, 'Texas and Polk! They would forcibly possess themselvs of a country slid claimed by a government u e are on term of amiiy with, and then talk of Liberty! They would seek to extend slavery, and then cry librrty?

We do not say that all the persons of the, so styled Democratic party, would assent in the consummation of such aims and views. No, the mass are true men men who love their country, and desire its good, above every other object, but we do say, that a majority of the leaders of the party know that the tendey of ineir principles is tosuovert tne best interest of die country; and that they would, without hesitation sacrifice that country's good to attain their own -personal airiisJ Such is Locofonoism, and such is its ten-1 dency, and they know it.

The powerful State ol Ohio, the res'ing place of Harrison's earthly remains, has only- of late redeemed her proper position for his worthy Whig successor now before us, and thus brightened the atmos phere over his tomb with a cheering prospect of the measures and the policy leading to better times, which he would have pursued.
