FOREIGN NEWS.

EXTRACTS PROM THE LATRSTFOREIGNNEWS, BY WBA«WW HIBERNIA AMD GREAT WESTERN.

The news of the loss of the Colombia, and the safety of nil her passengers, reached Liverpool*July 20, by the brig Themis, from the Bay 'of Funday. The Margaret, with the passengers, arrived on the following day, when the particulars of the loss were first received. The Glasgow under writers will suffer very severely by the loss of the Columbia steamer, which was principally insured in that city. The amount if Stated at upwards of £40,000, underwritten by'several of the most influential brokers.

Business at Liverpool, and other markets, had not improved. The Liverpool Mercury of the 4«h says there vas a fair consumptive demand for most leading articles, with the exception of sugar, which was unusually limited, and prices remained unchanged* There had been some advance in the prices of corn^ but no change in the rate of duty*

Money was abundant, but ihe funds were depressed in consequence of the unsatisfactory stale of political affairs. In the manufacturing and Iron districts there continued t0 exist the greatest depression# The Liverpool Cotton market was very healthy during the fortnight, and the business on an extensive scale at firm prices. The stock of cotton on hand is enormous, and exceeds, by upwards of 300,000 bales, the quantity which was held last year. The present stock is little, if any, short of a million of bales nearly a year's consumption.

The Iron steamship Great Britain was launched at Bristol on the 19lh ult. at half past 3 o'clock in the afternoon, in the presence of his Royal Highness Prince Albert, the Prussian and American Ambassadors, Lord WharnclifTe, the Marquis of Exeter, Earl of Lincoln, Lord G. Somerset, Sir IS. Codington, the Hon. E. Berkeley, and P. VV. S. Miles, Esq., M. P*s, the Hon. Grantley Berkeloy, and the assembled thousands.

The capabilities of a new iron steamer on the Thames, callcd "The Prince of Wales," are said lo bo seventeen miles an hour.

Three thousand pounds and upwards were received at the Italinn Opera, on the occasion of her Majesty's slate visit to that Theatre.

Van Amburgh seems to be making a very profitable tour in the North. He is reported to havo netted the following sums: At Athwick, £370 Bedford, JC150 Kelso, £300 Coldstream, £200 Dunse,£150 and at Berwick, £250. rv

REBECCA RIOTS.

Swansea, Aug. 4, 7 o'clock, A. M.—No sooner were the parties whose examination waa sent you in my last report committed, than the Rebeccaites, as if to show the wantonness of their power, and their utter contempt of the very large military and police force assembled at this place, actually des- & troyed three gates, and broke in the doors and windows of a toll-house. «. ..''ww'yftwr

Telegraphic Despatches—Bayonne,

rAug.

J.__"The bombardment of Seville still continued on the morning of the 25th. The disasters occasioned by it were very great.— The city evinced the strongest determination to resist. "The Government (in Madrid) published on the 30th a manifesto, tending to establish its legality, and announcing tho speedy convocation of the Cortes. r*

Increase of Teetotal ism.—During Father Mathew's visit at Leeds, on Sunday evening and Monday last, ho administered to soveral thousand persons—some supposo to 0000 1— In Bradford, on Tuesday, it issaid he administered the pledge to 7000! In (luddersfield, on Wednesday, his visit is said to havo been attended with similar success. Even in York-, (a place which, comparatively speaking, had never hitherto felt the existence of total abstinence,) he gavo the pledge to 2000.

In tho county of Cornwall there are 370, 000 inhabitants, 10,000 of whom are miners, and 70,000 teetotalers and of this large body there were but five prisoners for trial at the last assizes! Thus abstinence lessens crime and abates misery* irf.landI

The usual weekly meeting of tho Dublin Repeal Association was held on the 1st instant. Mr. O'Connell was preSent, having just arrived from Castlebar, where he had been holding one of his "monster meetings." lie handed in 270 pounds sterling from Newfoundland, and proposed the admission of Mr. V. O'Conner Blake, son in law of Lord French, and of Sir Richard Mursgrave, as members. Tho repeal rent for the week was announced to be 2004 pounds sterling. Mr. O'Connell said ho had received a letter fiom M. Lcdru Rollin, which he had not time to translate then bat he should propose an adjournment to the 4th, when ho would bo piepared to rend it.

The Dublin Freemcn says that the lumbers present at Castlebar weie from 250,000 to 300,000. Mr. O'Connell. told them that he would go back to Dublin and let his repeaters there know that be had ail Connaught with him—men, women and children. We quote a passage or two from his speech, which, on the whole, waamiich the with to predecessors:—

The next step which ho would take in tho repeal movement would bo to appoint arbitrators in the place of the dismissed magistrates and when this system had been established and completed in alt its details, he would turn his attention to tiMK^ornation of a protective council or association, to consist of 300 gentlemen, who would assemble in Dublin. He admonished them to co-operate with him in his efforts, and above all to persevere to the last. He could not leave tho Irish people in the position which they now occupied. They were the roost fleeced people in the world—the moat oppressed people in the world (hear.) They were oppressed and persecuted to the death by grinding parsons, by grinding landlords, by grinding agents.

The hon. and (earned gentleman then described in detail the many Mattings, social, political and religious, which be maintained would be secured to tho Irish people by the attainment of repeal. The total abolition of the tithe-rtnt charge—the abolition of poor-

rates—extinction of grand jury cess—vote by ballot—manhood suffrage, and an equitable arrangement of the relation between landlord and tenant, on a principle, which, while it recognised the rights of property,, would also enforce the due performance of its duties.—These were but a few of the many glorious advantages which would be secured to the country by the restoration of her native Parliament.^

At the subsequent banquet the Archbishop of Tuam was present, and made a speech, short, and of no particular interest-

Mr. O'Connell had a great gathering at Enniscorthy on the 20th of July. Present, as usual, from 200,000 to 300,000. The remarkable feature was that the soldiers of the Uth regiment, about one half of which is Irish, cheered the repealers heartily as they passed. Nearly all the Catholic clergy of the diocese were present. The speech-mak-ing exhibited .nothing new. Mr. O'Connell lug?ed in, according to his wont, the old story of 300 Wuxford ladies who are said to haye been murdered by Cromwell's soldiers.

The liberator held his second Galway gathering on the 23d. He sharply rebuked the people of a.small village called Ahascragh, for attacking some policemen, who were taking down the triumphal arches that had been erected. He said he would blot Ahascragh from the map of Ireland, and refuse to enroll one of its inhabitants on the books of the association. J,r

CHURCH OF SCOTLAND. The violence of hostile feeling created by the dissension in the Church of Scotland, is shown by the following paragraph, from the luverness Courier

LOCHBROOM CHURCH—UNCHRISTIAN VIOLATION.—On Saturday last the Rev. Mackenzie, Lochcarron, proceeded to Lochbroom to declare the church vacant, in terms of the order from the General Assembly and Presbytery. The bell-rope was cut, and the principal door, which had been left open for the last 12 months was found nailed up. An entrance, however was effected, and on the rev. gentleman ascending the pulpit, he found there tho carcase of a dog in a state of putrefaction The horror and disgust inspired by such a desecration we need not attempt to describe.

The carcaso was carried out by one of the men present, and the service proceeded, some persons, however,disturbing the congregation by throwing stones into the church during the time of divine service. An examination has been made into the circumstances of the

and a reward of 20Z. has been offered by Mr. Davidson, of Tulloch, for the perpetrator of the offence. Tfie Rev. J. MacJeod, minister of Morven, is to be presented to the church of Lochbroom, now vacant by the demission of the Rev. Dr. Ross.

THE REV. DR. DEWEY.—This eminent minister of the Unitarian church, New York, preached in Liverpool on Sunday last, in the morning at Renshaw street Chapel, and in the evening at Paradise street, making such an impression on his auditors, especially by the morning's discourse, as will not be soon /orgotten. Never, it is believed, was a sermondelivered, more dignified, more practically useful, or more encouraging to the best tendencies of our nature.—Liverpool Mercury.

In the Court of Bankruptcy, in the matter of Wright and Biddul ph's bankruptcy, an application was made by a gentleman on the part of the Governor and stato of Illinois, North America, to participate in the dividend now in the course of payment out of tho estate in the sum of £19,756 5s 8d, on account of bonds. This was opposed by the assignees on the ground that some part of the debt was bad, the bonds having been at the time they obtained them in a state of insolvency, and unable to pay its own dividend. The application was granted.

LIVERPOOL, Aug. 4.—The Londonpers of last night contain a Treasury Minute, dated July 25th, whi declares that it has come to the knowledge of the government that certain officers in tho revenue department of Ireland have connected themselves with the repeal association, and it is intimated thnt unless such officers immediately withdraw from such associations dismissals will foljow the refusal.

From the London Observer of July 31. THE AMERICAN STATE DEBTSUJ The gentlemen at the Hague who signed the^pctltions to the American charge d'affairs, respecting the non-payment of this interest of the North American loans, hare recently received an answer from tho charge d'afTaira in the name of his Government. Tho answer informed them, that white the President fully feels the force of the obligation which the States have upon themselves, in contracting their debts, and is lut-

ly persuaded that their obligations will be fulfilled at no very 'distant period, nevertheless, he (the charge d'nffairs) is most strictly enjoined by the Secretary of State to declare, in the most format and positive terms that it is tho decided and irrevocable resolution of tho General Government not to agree to be held responsible in any manner whatever for the non-performance of those obligations. The charge d'affitre. however, states his conviction that the present state of affairs in the United Stales, upon the whole, is such as to encourage the hope thai crcdii will be gradually restored."

There is now too much reason to npprehand that at least as far as regards thoso States of the union that have openly avowed repudiation, the expectation of any liqnidatioa of the obligation incurred most be very remote indeed, and that this class of creditors oft he American people will be inn worse situation than those who had book debts incurred previous to the panic, which led to the stoppajjo of so many firms in this, country and on the other side of the Atlantic, If full credence is to be placed in the intimation given—and it looks too like an official declaration to be question-

that by far the largest proportion oi the many millions of money the several States have borrowed from capitalists in England, «c., has been expended in public works, such as railways, road*, canals, bridges, fee., all of which, in a major or minor degree, hive tended to improve tho general resources of the whole country. One thing is pretty evident, that the credit of the United States, now and tor a Ions time past alt but defunct, wiU not be resuscitated until« vary mach larger •hare of honesty, sympathy, and plain dealing is exhibited to those who have such large claims upon the various Slates, and npon private individuals.

FRANCE.

il-"r

The funeral of M. i. B. Laf5ite,one of ihe great coach proprietors of France, took plaos on Saturday, At the church of St. Nicholas d'Antiir, (imi was- moat numerously and respectably attended, When the proceesibh moved from the church for the ceruetry of Prre La Chaise, it had a curious ae well as imposing effect,for among the mourners, who were in black, were mingled perhaps ISO of the conductors, in their blue and fur jackets, and porters, with their, red lacings, from the public coach office^ *11 with crape on their arms.

As tho deceased was a member of the legion of honor and in the ha:ional guards, detachments of the civil militia and of a regiment of the line escorted the hearse When the body was deposited in the family vault, the deceased's brother, Pierre Liflitte, who was chief mourner with M. Jacques LafStte,delivered a discourse recapitulating the history of the illustrious and useful lHe of him whose loss they then were mourning.—Ga~ lignum'* Messenger.

SPAIN.

The revolution seems to have reached almost its last act. The capital, Madrid, bad surrendered to the insurgents, while the Regent was bombarding Seville The Duke of Baylen had been named provisional guardian of the.Queen. The new Cotidi were to assemble immediately. It was rumored t|jat Cadiz had joined the insurrection. The Boston papers say that Espartero had taken refuge in Portugal, but we find no such intelligence in the London papers to the third instant, evening, inclusive.

NAPLES.

The Attgemeine Zeilung has the following from Naples. June 30: "The negotiations relative to a commercial treaty with England aro terminated. The draft of a treaty was sent to London, from which place it has been returned pretty much modified, but doubtless also accompanied by notes, to which it is said the commissioners and the Neapolitan Ministers have nothing.to object.

INDIA AND CHINA.

The Overland Mail arrived at Malta on the24th tilt, and at London on the 1st. The latest 4ate from Macao was April 16th. There is little news from China, the new commissioner KeYing not having arrived to treat with Sir Henry Pottinger. The province of Scinda was nearly quiet. Sir Charles Napier having made terms with most of the Chiefs. Dost Mohnmed hod arrived nt Cnbul and assumed the government without opposition.

In China, trade is looking brisker. Seven ships, in the Yang Tsse Kiang, were selling openly opium and British goods. They had been warned off bv the authorities, but having persisted, they were allowed to continue their

Bales.

The Americans were busy in

smuggling, and British goods were satd to be scarce. This intelligence will, doubtless, give a great spur to our home mercliants. It is to be reeretted, however, that tho opium trade could not be put down or checked by Sir Henry Pottinger, as its continuation can only havo the effect of exasperating ihe Chinese authorities, and checking the operations oi the fair traders.

Vf 7' in hi The Delaware county Pa. Republican, of Friday last says, that at lenst twenty-seven persons lost their lives at the late freshet iu that county.

The same paper states that 52 badges were destroyed, at a loss to the comity of®80.000. The county had just finished building bridges, having the finest in the Slate.—The Republican estimates the individual loss at half a million of dollars: and says:

Much distress prevails in our county by reason of the flood, and we would call the attention of philanthropic and charitable persons to these cases, that some assistance may be rendered to those who are left entirely destitute. The families at ^Avendnle Factory," Mr. James Riddle's on Crum creek, fiaje sufjhred most severely from the disastrous freshet of Saturday 'night. Of the eighteen families residing near the lower mill at Avendale, every one of them were driven from their houses the water in many of them being several fiitet deep on the second story, and carrying with it the doors and windows, and making a complete breach through them.—Their clothing, furniture, provisions, every thing they possessed in the world has been destroyed. Six other families have been obliged to abandon their houses they being so injured that they are untenantable. Many afflicting scenes of distress, wo learn, are witnessed in that neighborhood. On Suuday morning, about five o'clock, after the waters had subsided, an industrious man named Quigley, and his wife with nine children, were seen coming up the hill near tho fnctory—each of the parents had a child in their arms, rolled up in a piece of cloth, (being naked as they had taken them fromthoir beds.) The whole family'were without shoes or any covering for their heads —they have lost every thing save their lives and while the distressed father related the tale of their suffering during that .dreadful night, the tear of sorrow ran down his sunken cheeks.

Another, a widow named Lynch, with a family of six small children, lost every thing in her house* and is now completely destitute.

TT appears tho friends of Mr. VAW BUREN hud Mr. CALHOUN respectively, have not agreed upon all points involved in the organization of the National Convention- which is to give one them, or some one else,the honor of a nomination for the Presidency. The Charleston Mercury jhus approaches this difficult and much vexed question

ATLANTIC AND PACIFIC CANAL. The contract entered into by the BARINGS, of London, with the Republic of New Gren* ada, for the construction of a ship canal across the isthumus of Darten, provides for ceding to the Company the line for the projected work, with eighty thousand acres of land on the two hanks, and fonr hundred thousand acres in the interier. These princely merchants do not appear in this transaction as the agents of the British Government officially but they are British subjects protected by the Government, and doubtless ma uy important advantages will be secured to Great Britain, both political and commercial, by the completion of the vast work here projected.

The time has been when the construction of this Atlantic and Pacific Canal—a work of world-wide concernment—was in our own hands if we had chosen to take up the matter. Other nations on the other side of the water held back as though it were expected that our Government would exccute an enterprise to which it seemed called'fly position as the foremost power on the American continent, and as a power whose commercial spirit and energy would hardly brook the interference of a European nation in a work so peculiarly American. The occasion, however, has been suffered to pass. Through our tardy indifference the work which we would not do has fallen into hands that will do it—into hands that will hold it with a steady grasp when it is done. The key of the whole American continent is to bo in the keeping of England—there being,as it would seem, no proper guardian of it on this side of the Atlantic—at least none with spirit enough to step forth and claim the function.

The completion of a ship canal between the two oceans, as projected', will mark an cra in the world's age. The event will stand forth to give a distinctive eharactcr to the century. It is to be a five years work—to endure forever. The whole aspect of commerce will be changed by it. It will accelerate the revolution now going on in China more rapidly and more thoroughly, than nil the force of British armament—and not there oniy will it work changes, but in alt Polynesia and Australasia, and the western const of South America, which are now reached by doubling Cnpe Horn.

We observe that a writer in tho Alexandria Gazette is of opinion that a better route for a canal between the two oceans is by way of the river St. Juan and Lake Nicaragua, much better than across the isthmus of Darien. This latter route is through a mountainous region for some forty or fiftj" miles, while by the other the distance required to be cut will not exceed fifteen or twenty miles, and as rivers empty into the Pacific at no great distance above Lake Nicjrngua, the inference is fair lhat no great difference of elevation exists between the Lako aud the Ocean.

It would be worth while unquestionably to send a special agent to Guatemala on this business to make inquiries and examinations nt least. The last ambassador sent thither from the United States was not able to find any government there after much painful searching he was obliged to give it up. We do not know that the Guatemalans have any government yet possibly they have. At all events an envoy might be sent, and for aught that any body know!, he might return with knowledge of the two important facts that a practicable canal route between ihe Atlantic and Pacific and a live Government both actually exist in Guatemala.—Bait. Amer.

WESTERN VIRGINIA.

We think that no part of the world can exceed the mountainous slope of our own State, from the Alleghany to the Ohio, in the fruitfulness of ihe woman.

A friend, somewhat curious in such matters, has taken notes of the number of children to a family in several districts of our hill country, and finds the average to be six and sixty-eight hundredths' including the comparatively receut marriages, with those who have nearly or quite fulfilled their course.

We could give many remarkable instances of fecundity in different quarters, but will content ourselves with one example.

Captain Joseph Gore, of Logan, now in his 63d year and his wife, in her 61st, have raised sixteen children, who have presented them with ninety grand children,and fourteen great grand children.

Captain Gore is now the active and efficient sheriff of this county, and his wife an example of industry and good management to the wives of her neighborhood his mother died but last year between 80 and 90 years of age, and should he and his wife attain a like ago, of which there are reasonable probabilities, it will puzzle tho calculation of human increase to estimate tho probable number of their descendants which may survive the parent stock.

The deaths in this extended family have been comparatively few of the children three% and of the grand children ten, only^ have departed this life.—Kenaxoha (Fa.) Re* PtWean.

WOOL AND THE TARIFF. The free trade men bnve affected great concent for the wool-growing farmers of onr'eountry, ever since the passage of the present tariff act by a Whig Congrcs ana they have told the farmers in question !hM their interests had been sacrificed in and by thst tariff, for the exclusive benefit of the manufacturers. Though the fallacy of this statement on the part of the free trade men has been often pointed out by showing that the tariff does in fact provide the American woo!-grower with an efficient protection of 3 cents per pound, and 30 per cent, ad valorem, on imported wool ot the qualities that compete with oar homegrown wool, making the whole protection on such wool more than 40 per cenu mall and thongh it ia well known that oor wool-growers are doing well under 'his tariff—yet the following facte ar* so directly in point, they will be read with satisfaction, a*placing the ease in an anthsnnc form-

The Hon. W. Slade, of Vermont, has recently app»icd to the office of Register of the Treesnry far the retarns of wool imported daring the firat half of the present fiscal year, which commenced one month sfter the Tariff went into operation.

THE NAMES tfr PARTIES.

The National Intelligencer is doing Mr. J. C. Calhoun a service in bringing to light nnd republishing the addresses of that geutleman, which a recent compilation of his speeches —acknowledged toJiave been mado by himself—sought to suppress. In his great specch on President Jackson's Protest—-great, not only because the subject was momentous, but because of the intellect displayed in it and the patriotic feHNbr manifested—Mr. Calhoun closed with drawing ihe character of the two partiesin this ct^mtry. Mr. Calhoun has since found reason-—one reason avowed by himself, that the victories of whigs would not enure to his advantage—to go over to tho party which he tfcen denominated and nounced as Tories*

in less than three years from this eloquent outburst of ^patriotism, the speaker and rill who then acted as his persona! friends should have gone over to those whom he denounced, and ceased to bear the name of whig which he then truly called "an honest and patriotic" one, and which he then declared he was content wiili end wished no other. But the truthfulness of his speeches is not affected by his desertion of the principles thejj^espoused, and will not the less be cherished now that the author has proven faithless to th m.

Tho following is the concluding portion of the speech to which we have referred Bait. Patriot. 1 am mortified (said Mr. C.) that in this country, boasting of its Anglo Saxon descent, that any one of respectablo standing much less the President of the United States, should be found to entertain principles leading to such monstrous results and I can scarcely believe myself to be breathing the nir of our country, andto^e within the walls of the Senate Chamber, when I hear such doctrines vindicated. It is proof of the wonderful degeneracy of the times—of a total loss of the true conception of constitutional liberty. But in the midst'of this degeneracy I pcrceive the symptoms of regeneration. It is not my wish to touch on the party designations thnt have recently obtained, and which have been introdued in the debate on this occasion, I, however, cannot but remark that tins revival of the party names of the revolution, after they had so long slumbered, is not without a meaning—not without an indication of a return to those principles which lie at tho foundation of our liberty.

Gentlemen ought to refect that the extensive and sudden revival of tltese names could not be without some adequate cause. Names are not to be taken or given at pleasure there must be something to cause their application to adhere. If I remember rightly, it was Augustus, in nil the plenitade of his power, who said that he found it impossible to introduce a new word. What, then, is that something? What is there in the meaning of WHIG and TOR V, and what in tho character of the times, vv^ich has caused 'their sudden revival, as party designations, at this Ume 1 take it that tho very essence of toryism, that which constitutes a tory, is to sustuin prerogative against privilege to support Ihe Executive against the Legislative department of the Government, and to lean to the side of power against the side of liberty while the whig is in all these particulars of the very opposite principles. These are the leading characteristics of the respective parties, WHIG and T&RY, and run through their application in all the variety of circumstances in -which they have been applied, either in this country or Great Britain.— Their sudden revival and application at thifc time ought to admonish my old friends, who are now on the side of the Administration, that there is something in the times* something in the existing struggles between the parties, ana in tho principles and doctrines advocated by those in power, which has caused so sudden a revival and such extensive application of tho terms. I have not contributed to their introduction, nor am I desirous of seeing them applied but I must say to those who are interested that they should not be, that nothing but their REVERSING their course can possibly prevent their application. They owe it to themselves, thoy owo it to tho Chief

which we hear daily advanced, before a return of the reviving spirit of liberty shall overwhelm them, and those who are lending them to their ruin. 1 can speak (said Mr. C.) with impartiality. As far as I am concerned, I wish no change in party designations. I nm content with that which designates those with whom I act. It is, I admit, not very popular, but it is at least an honest nnd patriotic name. It is synonymous to resistance to usurpation usurpation, come from what quarter and under what shape it may whether it be that from this Government on the rights of tho States, or tho Executivo on the Legislative department.

A'HEROINE. vr

SINGUIAU TRANSACTION.—TheCauaurngus Whig gives an account of a series of outrages perpetrated in the town of Machias, near there, upon a family named Andrews. Early last spring their house was entered nt different times, and robbed of many articles—the barn was set on fire and burned to the ground —aud twice an effort was made to burn the house. A week or two since a shingle was found in the house warning the family to quit it or they would be murdered, and on Thursday night, the 27th u!t., Mrs. Andrews was awoke by a noise outside the dwelling. Looking out cautiously she observed a man fixing a S9rt of a scaffold in order to reach a window, and quietly possessing herself cf an axe, she awaited until the fellow had raised the window and thurst his arm in when with one blow she nearly severed it from his body. The thief fell back to the ground with a groa n, and was carried off by his comrades who were traced by the fallen blood full twelve miles, when all trace of them was lost. .5»

THE LORD'S PRAYER.

The following passage by Montgomery, is A a •'How many millions and mulioni ot tiroes has that Prayer been offered by Christians of all denominations So wide, indeed, is the sound thereof gone forth, that daily, and almost without intermission, from the enda of the earth, and afar upon the sea it is ascending to heaven like incense, aud a pure offering. Nor needs it the gift of prophecy to foretell, that though heaven and earth shall pass %way,' these words of oar blessed Lord shall not pass away till every petition has been answered—till the kingdom of God shall come, and Hit will be done on earth as it is ia heaven-

Buren and his party—"to power." is one oft hose deiuaions which, being entertained, servo to makede.eat, when it comes, more terrible and disiatrous. ihiaf confidence we have ntrdwibt Mr. Benton feels, in coin-

evidence of the weakness of ihe ,Whig^ instoad of be ing as they really wefe, merely tho signs of an indifference. arising from the conviction, on tho part of tlW Whigs, of their inability, under the present Dynasty, to accomplish any measure of Whig policy though they had assured majoiiiesin both Houses of Congress.— The experience of the lost Congress has left no doubt on thai head and the prevailing sentiment among the Whigs, even before the meeting of Congress at tho last session, was that it would really be for the interest of the Whig party,and in the long run ta^ihe jnterest of. the country, that l' having the power propose,should be Congress. This.be it observed by the way, was not our opinion. We were satisfied, as we still are that it was in the power of the Whigs had thev willed it, to retain the ascendency in boiHF Houses of Coagtcss that it was their duty to make the neccesmry efforts^ to dor so, and not lo suffer the elections to go by default. In deiihnce to the Executive Vetoes anathe combined opposition of the Administration and tho Locofoco party, the Whigs In the last Congress succeeded in saving th* Government from bankruptcy, and the country from disgrace, by passing the indispensable revenue bills. The stronger they were in the following (StBih) Congress, we argued to ourselves, the more instrumental they might be in doing good, and certainly woula bet in defeating bad measures. The overpowering sensation ofdiBgust, however, on the part ol the majority of the Whigs in Congress, ouended by the voluntary re*. tiremeni of many of I hem,

Had its natural effect to damp.

ihe ardor of the Whigs in Most parts of the country* and to keeadqwn tho fire ol their seal. Notwithstanding all which, and every adverse circumstance, tho Whigs have hurd work toget beaten,in some districts by maiori'ies little exceeding a baker's dosen in number. In North Carolina nnd Tennessee, we already know, instead of giving up they have manfully stood to their armstund it is quite possible that they will be found', to have done so in other of the States whose elections we have yet to hear from.

For ourselves, we have not the least doubt that 'has: Whig party is at this moment stronger than it was£ four years ago more powerful because more united and compacted and better prepared than ever it has been for conflict with its adversaries, because anima-^ ted by the double motive of redressing injury which it lias itself sustained, and accomplishing good for the country. We look forward, then, with cheerful nnd abiding confidence to a victory for the Whigs in November, l?H4, hardly inferior in brilliance and deel-

siveness to that which it won in November 1840,-— We do not now doubt, and wo never have doubted of thin result.

Such, however. It appears, is not the opinion of MM Denton, who looks forward, with a complacency and fatuity that make one pity his delusion, to the year 1845 ns the period in which "all departments ol the Federal Government will become anti-federal will" become more "democratic" than ihe Consittution, 8nd therefore inimical to the true spirit and genius of the •"Fei'cral Government and in an extacv ofhallucina* tion breaks forih into raptures at the brilliant prospect of the "resumption of the Jacksonian policy!" The lime is at hand, he proclaims lo his followers, "for' resuming and completing the measures of Gen. Jackson."

With what joy is not this annuciation calculated to fill the bosoms of the Faithful This glorious revelav tion of the blessings which are to follow in the train of the triumphant "Democracy"—must it not cheer tho hearts and nerve tho arms of the associates and followers of the Benions, and Buchanans, tho Calhouns, and the (Josses, and all the alphabet of great men who an* rivnl candidates for the favor of the People.

Let us for a moment rttraceifi memory the doctrines and practices which went to make up "the Jacksonian policy." Lot us remember The exiriivagnnce of the public expenditures The struggle of the Executive with the People toretain perpetual control of tho public monoy wliiclr it had already illegally seized The doctrine that tho public c-ffices are the property of a party, and lhat every man is an enemy of the country who is not a vassal ol the President The assumption lhat the President isbound to obey thtf

Constitution and Laws only as he chooses lo understand nnd expound them The claim of the Executive to originate as well as tot disregard Legislation The forestalling of Legislation by Executive threalsof the Veto The defenting Legislation by stifling acts of Congress after they nave passed The encouragement and cultivation of an agrarian and anarchical spirit ...... W* Tho ntiempt, by anew organization of tho Militia^.

J)ernnging the currency ,, 1. Palsying enterprise Withering industry and 'Wostinc ihe resources of the country.

And this is the "policy" which Mr. Benton, in tho presumption of political power being within the reach of his party, exults in the prospect of resuming an® completing. As has been said of the elder branch oc the Bourbons, this Locofoco dynasty has learned nothing by adversity but, in the pride and bonstfulnesie and delusion of anticipated triu/nph, already threaten^ us with a perpetuation ol all its odious political doc-* trines, and a renewal of those detestable experiments* the perseverance in which against public opinion havo a I read driven it into exiie from office, ought forever

already hereafter to prevent its return lo it. "Forewarned, forearmed says the proverb and SO* say we to our readers.

ANECDOTE OF MB. CLAY.—The follrftfltfg, copied from Mallory's "Life and Speeches of llenry Clay," refutes one of the most current of the wholesale calumpiea against the great Slatesman "In the spring of 1829, we had the pleas* uro of being a fellow-passenger with Mr. Clay from New Orleans to Louisville. Af* fer a general acquaintance had been established among the cabin passengers, to pass away the time more agreeably, it was P'°P°£ sed to havo a game of cards, in which one ofp the number ^foposed to invife Mr. Clay to join. When the invitation was given he en--qui:red what game was proposed* Tho reply 5 was, "Brag." The sudden compression of# the Hps, and the change from easy poiitenes» to the dignified deportment of one entitled to give advice, evinced, at once, a determination not to engage in the game. "Excuse me, gentlemen," said he, «1 have not played a gome of any kind of hazard for the last^ twelve years and I take occasion to warn? you to avoid a practice destructive of a goodt name, and drawing after it evil consequence* of incalculable magnitude. In earlier days it was my misfortune, owing to a lively and. ardent temperament, to fall into this vice,, and to a considerable exteBt, and no one can lament more sincerely the evil and the consequences of it than 1 do. These have followed me into all the wa'ks of life, and though have long since abandoned the per*, nicious practice which led to them, it seems that they will never abandon me.w „.
