S.—Well, well, I have never thought of this thing before; I will go home and think about it, and then talk with you again. MECKLENBURG JEFFERSONIAN: SJo ©05, TUESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 9, 1841. Another Rich Mine—We are informed tliat a Gold jMine, which promises to be very extensive and unusually rich even for this “ gold region, ’ has lately been discovered on the land of a Mr. Morri- .■}0)U thirteen miles east of Charlotte. The richest ore is found in what miners call “pockets.” One ppecimen we saw, about three times as large as a lollar, contained one hundred and tbrty pennywei’ts ol‘ gold. The ore, so far as the mine has been work ed, averages from ten to twelve pennyweights of gold to the bushel. Democracy in }Vake.—The Democrats of ■Wake County have taken the field by nominating Mr. James B. Shepard for the State Senate. Mr. S. has accepted. The meeting that made this no minatioii also seconded the call tor a State Conven tion of our party on the 10th January- The elections just over in Florida, for members of the Territorial Legulalurc, have resulted in another Democratic victory. That ball,” started in Maine, seems to be rolling ‘over the whole Union. ** So mote it be!'’ ruptionof the elections, and, since that time, wheth er in prOhiises or in the distribution of gold or offi ces, the delirium tremens of political drunkenness,— the enormities of the extra session and the dictator ship, and the national odor of the carcass of the Uni ted Stales Bank, are the principal causes of the pre sent unprecedented reaction, before which the whole fabric of falsehood vanishes, and the refuge of lies dissolve like a wreath of smoke in a whirlwind “ liesolved. That the verdict pronounced by the se veral States in such emphatic condemnation of the aristocratic misrule of Clay’s myrmidons, gives the most cheering assurance tfiat Democracy does not err in her ultimate reliance on the popular intelli gence ; but that we may rest with undoubted trust and perfect confidence on sobet' second thought of the people—never wrong, and always efficient?^ “ Resolved, That the stupid attempt to bribe the people of the United States with their own moriey, taken from them with vast expense, loss, and injus tice, by the Distribution bill, is only one exemplifica tion of that contempt for the popular intelligence which has always been characteristic of aristociacy; which was shown in the mummeries and charlatan ism of tlie log cabin demagogues, and which ie now’ recoiling upon their heads in such a tempest of indignation. Resolved, That the total abandonment by Gov ernment of the business of banking, and the perfor mance by the Treasury Department of its own pro per functions, is imperiously required by the dictates of the Constitution, approved by decisive experi ence, and indispensable to s>ecure the very existence of liberty. Resolved, That we arc in the niidst of a revolu tion, and that in the thundering response which Geor gia has sent back to Vermont and Maine, and Ma ryland and Pennsylvania to Indiana, we hear the voice of awakened millions pronouncin^ the doom of Wln'gism and its abominations, and tliat the land is redeemed from the pestilence “ Resoled, That in tliis revolution, as in that which tried the souls of our fathers, the Old Bay State ought not to sufl’er .any to go before her; and that we now, on this 19th day of October, the anniversa ry of the surrender of Cornwallis—here, in old Fa Were it not-for the'vexatioua 4efay of the State ^eTfiperance Convention.—This highly re mails, we might have given ihia week Tetanus pcetable body assembled on Monday last in this ci- from the New York ejccfioiw, wHlolk cl^d on «he ‘X. proceeded to organize by the appointment of 4th instant.

At the commencement of the session, about five hundred dollars worth of pitch ers and tumblers, inkstands, sanbboxes, &c., were purchased by the State fbr the use of the members. But when they adjourned, every man grabbed what he could, and thus the property of the State was all lugged away, and not even so much as a broken tum bler left as a relict. The “ Times” asks:—“If it is right to steal inkstands and tumblers, is it wrong to take sheep and chickens without leave ? ” The last Connecticut Legislature was almost unaniniously Whiff, of course. “ Noble Complimenty—A paragraph with this caption lias fbr some time been going the rounds of the Federal papers, stating that the citizens of Woodford County, Ky., had purchased, (at .^18,- 000) the farm on which Mr. Crittenden, the late U.

In V ermout. the Democratic vote this year is 3,625 greater than Van Burens's; while the whig vote is 7,781 less than Harrison's. In Maine, the Democratic vote for Governor is over 3,000 more than Van Buren’s, and the whig vole over 8,000 less than Harrison's. In Ohio and New-Jersey, the popular vote cannot uoll be a.scertained, as the elections were only fbr iiieiubers of the Legislature; but the gains are evi- ucntlv largely in favor of Democracy. In Pennsylvania, while the whig vote for Gover nor is this year 30.44G less than Harrison’s, the De mocratic vote is only 7.100 less than Van Bnren’s. Take this with the vote in Maryland, (trom the im- j)ui-Lation of voters between which two States the operations of the pipe layers •’ were first discover- »:;!.) and the secret of tl.c .success uf Federalism in I'-.in is at once apparent.

What Democrat, or what Republi- cun li’hig, can read them without giving a hearty umcn! to the noble sentiments they contain? ''Resolved, That, in common with the people ot* the several States which have spoken, through the ballot box, since the 4th of March last, we go for •• a change,botli of the men and of the measures which have provoked the unequivocal, universal, and indignant reprobation of a whole nation of free men. as manifested in the tidings now daily waf’led to us upon every breeze. “ Resolved, That the total disappearance of vast Whig majorities in Maine, in Indiana, in Pennsyl vania, and Ohio, as well as in other States, in dis tricts and countie* where the aggregate vote a year ago exceeded the number of legal voters of whose existence any evidence can be furnished, is a preg nant proof to confirm the direct testimony, already sworn to by competent witnesses, of the stupendous system of frauds upon the ballot-box, to which the aristocracy owed in part their victories over the iu«t and righteous cause of liberty, during the hard cider debauchery which so lately swept over the land. “ Resolved, That it is our duty as men, as free men, as citizens of this glorious Republic, as fathers of a race that must inherit from us either liberty or slavery, as exemplars of a world to whom we must afiord hope or despair for the final destiny of man. as children of the God of Freedom who created all nien equal—to doom and commit to irretrievable de struction that empire of corruption which, by the do ings of the Extra session, at the fiat of the dictator Clay, overshadows the Union, but which we have Worn-on the altar of our country to prostrate and annihilate—against which we wage eternal war, h and will never rest nor pause til that warfare be ac- coflipli.shed, and our triumph consummated. ''Resolved, That the false history and false pro- phejjies, false statements and false promises, misrep- resefttations and delusions, which will render the vv hig campaign of 1840 forever infamous—a hissing n hyeword to posterity—together with the iiauds oiithe rights of suffrage, the bribery and cor- to , ^ liniau,” at Salisbury, that the publication of that sterling Republican print is to be resumed in a short time. From the slip announcing this fact, we copy the following remarks explaining the cau.ses of the changes against Whigery, as showm in the late elections: What has brought the.se great chang.?s about The answer is plain,— rr was thi: doi.ngs of thi; WHIGS at the extra SESSION OF CONGKFSS. The following are some of these tioings—viz : The very Jirst act that they passed after meeting together, was an act to put money into their own pockets—an act making an appropriation to pay the expenses of the Extra Session. Tfie secoiul act was to create anew National debt of twelre mUliona of dollars! I During the adminis tration of Gen. Jackson, the whole of the debt crea ted by the Revolutionary war and the war declared in 1812, was paid ofV. But the second act of the Whigs af\er they got power into their own hands, was to create a 7iew National debt of twelve mil lions, which, unless they are checked, will soon swell up to one hundred millions. Tiie third act on the list, is an act making apre- se)it of twenty-five thousand dollars out of the pub lic money, to Mrs. Harrison. A I’ourtli is, an act authorizing Mrs. Harrison to receive and send all letters, arni packages, ^'rcc o/ postage. Another act is entitled—‘‘An act making appro priations for the funeral expenses of AN'm. H. Harrison,” &c.,—amounting to between three and four thousand dollars. Another act provides that all the money arising from the sales of Public Lands, shall be taken out of the Treasury and divided among the States,— say between three and five millions of dollars an nually;—and, Then comes an act to increase the taxes on the country fully ten millions of dollars, to supply the place of the money given away to the States,—to Mis. Harrison, and other unjustifiable expenditures. Another act is one that the Republican party has always opposed, and the Federalists always advo cated,—it is, what is called the Bankrupt Act. Ma ny of the Whig newspapers boast that this is the greatest and best measure of the Extra Session. It is certainly ” a new way to pay old debts.” These are some of the doings of the Whigs at the Extra Session—but not all—there are a good many other acts, and almost all of them provide tor the expenditure of money. The amount of money voted away during this Extra Session i.s upwards of five million of dollars', —but these Reformers, it seems, are not satisfied v.’ith this,—fbr Mr. Clay, as chairman of the Finaiii'C Committee in the Senate, towards the close of the Session, gav’e notice, that, at the next Session, they must increase the new National debt by making another loan—or, that they must lay further taxes on the people. At the same time, he said the ex penditures of the Government should be about/irt'/: ty eight rnilliotis of dollars annually. The expenditures during Mr. Van Buren’s ad ministration were about 21 millions annually. This was loudly denounced by the Whigs as being too extravagant; but no sooner are they in pow'er than The WcrJker—Wi7iier.—The New Orleans PicayiKio, of the 23d ult, speaking of the weather says —‘ t*or tlie lart three days has been quite cold, and yesterday would do very w’tli fora winter day, Tiie way the cliimn.\’S ab:»ut th? city smoked was comfortable.

Mr. Forward, Mr. Wickliffe and Mr. Upshur are widowers ; Mr. Le- gare is a bachelor; Mr. Webster and Mr. Spencer only are blessed witli wives. Messrs. Legare and Wickliffe, however, compensate in some sort the ab sence of wives; the first by bringing his mother and sister, and the latter his two daughters, to enlarge There is no probability and animate our social circles.^ John C. Colt.—The plea of insanity, it seems, is to be made in the case of John C. Colt, the murder er of Mr. Adams. His brother, who is a member of the St. Louis bar, has statexl in a letter to the ed itor of a St. Louis paper, that insanity is hereditary in the family ; that his brother John has several times bccome insane, and on such occasions mani fested a desire to commit suicide, A sister also had been afflicted in the same way, and finallj^ poisoned herself—New York Tribune. Semmes, the Student who shot Professor Davis at the University o’f Virginia last year, and was for some months confined in jail, was finally bailed in the sum of ^5,000, on account of faihng health. His trial was to have taken place at the late term of the Superior Court of Albemaiie, hut he forfeited his recognizance. We understand that he pas^d through Wilmington a few weeks ago, in such fee ble health that he had to be carried from the cars to the boat. He was accompanied by some relations. ■ompan r of^ his recovery. FcnfStterille Observer. CHARLES E. MOSS & CO.
