VEVAY TIMES AND SWITZERLAND COUNTY DEMOCRAT.

Vermont.—In this Stale the Whigs have succeeded by about ten thousand majority. Vermont is the strongest Abolition State in the Union, and ilio Whig parly owo tlieir present temporary triumph in that State, to the influence of Abolitionism. The following extracts of a letter from a gentleman in New York to the editor of the Louisville Publid Advertiser, will throw some light on the subject: "Ere this reaches you, you will have learned the result of the State election in Vermont. The Abolitionists have carried every thing before them. If this does not open the eyes of the planters of the South, I am mistaken in their character. That it is abolitionism which has proved triumphant in Vermont, no one of the least pretension to principle will deny. Slade, the most Ultra Abolitionist in the North resides there.

VEVAY:

Tennessee.—An exchange paper from a central parlrof Hie State of Tennessee, says: “The Whigs hereabouts have been crowing loudly over their projects in this State. Some even say they will carry it by twenty thousand majority. But it’s all fudge—mere brag and bluster. Their reputed changes in favor of Whiggery turn out in almost every instance to be unfounded. They were to have carried - tho State last year by fourteen thousand majority—that was their lowest -calculation. But the ballot box showed a majority of nearly three thousand agaihst them. It will be so again. The Slate is safe for Van Buren; Wo entertain not the slightest doubt of it. His majority will acatcely bo less than five thousand. Lei our Whig friends mark the prediction.”

Prices, —A ruinous fall of prices was predicted by the Federalists, as one of the consequences of"ihe passage of tbo Independent Treasury law. But prices, instead of falling, have risen, and die Whig orators are proved.lo be false prophets. The bill became a law on the 4lh of July. The following table, says the Globe, shows tho prices of some of the most important articles of domestic produce at -New Vork about one week before the President signed the act, and about two raontlis after operations under it commenced:

This is the secret, and the whole secret, of our revulsions and convulsions, in tho money market, and of our sudden and violent fluctuations in the prices of produce,' labor and property. This is the secret of our ilitlrestn before the elections, and oFour protptrilifM after them; and thus it will continue to be while pobanking is tolerated in our country. Wo have just effected one divorce between unnatural couples—that ofbank and Slate; another divorce is still wanted—that of banka ami politicians. The federal government effected one; the Stale governments may effect the other, 'X he present distress is the most causeless and unnatural which ever afllicte.t any country, and can with great difficulty- be kept up from day to day, by the preiiure'of the Banks and the clamor of their confederate politicians, until the election is over. There, is nothing in tho state, of the country, in tho acts of tho .Government, or to tho dispensations of X’rovidcncc, to justify it. The whole World is at peace; the bounties of Providence smile on every land; health, plenty, and quiet pervade the earih.

“rhe cry is Still they Come,”

(rt-Oar readers will bear in mind Uwt the sale of valuable household furniture, the property of P. M. Kent, Esq. of this place, who is a* bout to retire from housekeeping, takes place on Saturday at 10 o'clock, A.M.

The Trenton (N, J.) Emporium, says: ."During the last fe w weeks a number of able champions hare espoused the cause of the people. Some of the best men in the.couniry hare raised their voices against the ruinous cause of ilarrieonism.”

“It is well known that the Abolitionists and the Whigs have united in one common cause, to get Harrison elected if they can. It is all fudge, the pretence of nominating on a separate ticket, Bimey. This is a mere pretence, to cover the amalgamation of the Abolitionists and Harrisonian?. An Abolitionist in Pearl street, in this city, said to a friend of mine lately, ‘You need not lay the flattering unction to your soul, that ive aro going to cut our own tluoats, by running a separate ticket for Birnoy. No, sir; wo will go, to a. man, for Gen. Harrison; nc is as good an Aboluionist as we want.’ What will the slaveholders of the South say to this! "If, after all titis, and the demonstrations be-, fore them, the people of Kentucky and the other slavehotding Slates, hold 'on to Harrison, they unlock tho door lor the Abolitionists with their eyes open, will have themselves to blame for the result. I say, let them do it, and when the time comes that they will hare to seek protection from tho - North,.they will learn who havo been their friends.

The Whigs are making great preparations, at Various points. for celebrating the Battle of the Thames oh liie 5th of October. ( (iuiRE—Do they intend celebrating that victory in honor of Harrison, for the tcon/i* .and tear* received on the occasion ; or are they going io rejoice at the lucky escape of the General frptu ■11 injury i hy his prudence inretaining a position in the rear during the ousel! We merely ask for Information. •

The causes which are now in operation will, if they bo not interfered with by Whiggery, impart to the country stable prosperity.. ' . .

In this number ofour paper we publish a.letter from Governor Tazewell, to which he' gives it os his candid and unbiassed opinion, that Harrison is "both physically and intellectually incompetent to perform the ntany:varied and ardqoua- duties which must devolve upon every President of the United Slates,” ; .

1 Henry Clay.— “ Gentlemen,” said Mr. Glay in liis nolo of the 34th July, to Messre, and Moore: • “In reply to your letter, I lake pleasure in expressing the opinion that.General Harrison's election is certain—tv propebexeuTio.ts are 'made.” Here is. the .whole secret, and it may bo translated thus; “Harrison'selection is certain, provided you.make every oxer* lion necessary to accomplish'it; such as telling abominable; lies in abundance, slandering-tho present Administration, forging' public documents into shapes convenjcnifor misleading ithe people, pulitng.the.bank screws upon all creditors, filling your pockets with the funds of wholesale merchants, and. lavishing Them upon bribery and corruption at the pbl|S, crying out iuno times, while you keep the people idle and divert their.attention' from their business; 'and, .in short,'carrying -the' election,^peaceably if-you con, but/oraWy iryou'must,”

‘ Col. E. H. Elmore, of South Carolina, a gentleman'distinguished in public life, and'who op-r posed Mr, Van Buren in 1930, has come out in a letter renouncing Harrisonism. Mr, Elmora says, "Gen. Harrison has neither the firmness, ability, 'nor force of character, to fit himlo exercise a control over his party.” : .

The Cotton Crop.—We gave some account Jh our lut of the dcstruclipu of llio cotton crop ip the South* by the amy wppn. By later intelligpuce we are happyflo learn that the injury U not ao serious as at first represented, ihu Mew Orleans Bee states that the damage is principally Confined to parishofjterville, Louisiana, which produces but eight thousand bales of cotton annually; and that llie loss of the whole cVqg in that parish would not have any percepljbjft pfiect on the cotton market.

And to this latter, we add the following from the Alexandria Advocate: "John S,_ Barbour, Eeq. late one of.the most prominent wljigs. iti Virginia, made application through bis friends, to bo permitted to reply to B, W*. Leigh', in. Warrenton, at - the federal cider drinkiog, Lul was refused. The reaton.is plain; Mr. Barbour has quit (he party; ho is'one of the best , informed politicians of the day; he is gifted with an eloquence more ' powerful than a. two-edged sword, and whatever cause'ho espouses; finds'in him an ad vocate of rare abilities, j He carries & flint that never missea fire. - HoknoVsGon. Harrison well; served with hiim in He knows what opinions be advocated-; then. Mr. B. was then, as he is now, a democrat, and ho and General Harrison were opposed then/a* they are now. /.v. : VV;

“Huw is it possible that enlightened Kentuckians can remain so ignorant of the truckling game now playing by the Abolitionists and llarrisoniims into each other’s hands! Do they sec no light from Vermont, the hot-bed of Abolition and the residence of Slade) Do they forget Slade’s deadly hatred of the slaveholding States, and that he would, if ho could, produce insurrection among them and glory m it! Sir, I tell you, that were it possible, which, thank, God, it is not, that Harrison could be elected, you would see such scenes in your Stale and the South from the presumed triumph of the Abolitionists, as cannot be contemplated without horror.

The present crisis is'well calculated, gentlemen, to induce you to form asocial tone, and to exert yourselves for the success of Democracy, We hare a severe contest on hand* in which all the ,cIcinentd..or Opposition, aided by artificial distress, and', by tlie Abolitionists of Hu rope and America,"arecombined toovenlirow the Democracy' winch Jefferson founded and which Jackson revived. The contest ia arduous, but not doubtful; and ihe cVent will soon show that cur forefather? committed no mistake when they establish vo rnmenI founded on a belief in tho capaciiy oft ho people for soll-goveroucst. .Respectfully, gentlemen, \ ‘ i Your friend and fellow citizen, • ■ ; THOMAS-II.

Health or New Osleass.—The N. O. True of the 6th inst., speaking of the health pf that city, says: “Up to the present time, our city has enjoyed a degree of health, we may say . yrithput exaggeration, unequalled by any other pity iq tlto Union. If September, usually the most dangerous'and trying month, should pass awty a$ August Las done, the year 184.0 will - jjave been more remarkable for the prevalence qf health, than the year 1837, for the fatality of the epidemic. We confess that we are not withqut ptjr apprehensions, though yhe genera] opinion wnong'thoae best competent itj judge, to be lh*t the epidemic will not make its appearance during tho present season,”

Mississippi.—The Mississippiao, published at! Jackson, in Mississippi; says in its publication of the inst.: “Within the last two or three weeks we have received numerous letters from all parts of the State—from the East and the West—from the North and the South—and they all broatho a tone of confidence bordering on enthusiasm for the success of the Democratic cause. In almost every county the people arc up and doing for the approaching conflict. They are panting for the election day to arrive, as the fleet courser pa ms when mounted for the turf. They are saddled and bridled, and ready for the race. It will require no whipping and spurring to induce tbo people to come up to the polls. They will bo at the starling point in due lime. The VanBuren colt is trained to the course, and his rider is confident that he will beat the Harrison nag upwards of 4,000 miles (i. e. voles) over tbo Mississippi course. The owners of the nag think bo is a little spavined in the joints, owing to the fuel of his having heretofore been too heavily loaded with coon skins, turnip seed, red pepper and ram’s horns.. His rider intends to tub him down with a flannel “petticoat," soaked in soft toap, and then drench him with a decoction of **Aqrd cider,” Du; it is useless, the nag is broken down, and “burnt brandy ” can’t' save him. He is bound to be distanced, We pity his backers,” . '

Cicero in Warsaw!

By the politeness of a Kentucky friend wo were banded the other day a' number of the “Warsaw Patriot, ’ formerly edited by timothy Tugurntton, It has improved wonderfully^n its editorial columns. As a specimen of its gigantic powers of tcribendi eloquence, we quote the'filllowing in describing the oratorical flourishes.of a Debating Society in Warsaft; , ‘ “Wb attended the meeting the other night. The debate was lively and interesting. Every eye was fixed, and every feeling was aroused of the spectators, as the orators, in that deep-soulod, thrilling eloquence, proceeded in the discussion of the grave question pending before the house. The ladies (Gud bless them,) were delighted into extacy, and as evidence of the ctfect the orators produced, they were greeted with numerous bursts of applause by their sweel-lipcd voices.” This is certainly all very nice; but for God’s sake, friend Tom, don’t make Clays and Websters of them all. You should recollect there is but one step between the sublime and the ridiculous. Wo will give you a specimen;

Gentlemen; I have to make you iny vorjr sincere"thanks for your kind inviialionoftliia day’s dale; bn the part of tho Democratic .Association of yDUngmenof this city; to meet and address the Democracy of Louisville on political subjects.— 5Iy thanks are due, lor the invitation itself, and for the kind terms in which U t«.expressed; but the rale which ,1 have; long followed, not .to at-;' tend political meetings or to make, political speeches outside of my own State, forblda.my, compliance with; you rrequest,.

During the present year I have received more than forty, invitations to attend different public meetings in various Slate?, not one of which 1 hare accepted; so that in declining yours I am only acting on a rule’of long standing, from which there. has Keen no deviation,, and which’ had its origin at a.time when ’political crusading was less common than at; present, and when it .was unusual for squad cons'of politicians to- invade neighboring States;'to change their politics, or to pull "down their public men.

Virginia alt Right.

A very large and respectable Convention, composed of the Democracy of Virginia, assembled at CharloUcville in that Stats, on the 7th inst., the spirited proceedings of frhich we find in the Charlolleville Jeffersonian.. That paper says:— “We.can safely say that the convention is the largest and most respectable body of tho kind ever held in this Stale. A list not having been make out, it isjmpossible to deter mine thc number in attendance; but we think ire cannot be wide of the mark in saying that '.hero are between five and six hundred. The members are all animated with the right spirit, and what is better than all, tjjiey bring with them the most animating accounts of our prospects in every quarter of the “Old Commonwealth.” By intimation derived from a personal intercourse'with the members, wo have no hesitation in saying that \ro are firmly convinced that the State is safe for Van Buren “AyiAouiattds.” Indeed, we have never permitted ourselves to believe, fur one moment, that Virginia, “proud, gallant, chivalrous OLD VIRGINIA’* would over sully tier hitherto pure and unconlaminated escutcheon by hitching herself to the car of Hartford Convention Federalism, propelled by tho infuriate demon of Northern Abolition; but if we ba'd ever entertained a doubt so degrading to the fair fame of “the Mother of States, ’* that doubt would have been removed now.
