ANOTHER VICTORY. Mississippi is redeemed from Whigery. The Democrats have elected their Governor and two Cono-ressmen by about 3,000 majority, and a large majority of both branches of the Legislature. Poor WhiggiesI—in one short year they have lost Maine, New-York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Ohio, Michigan, Georgia, Indiana, and Mississippi, and been thrown into a minority in the popular vote in New-Jersey and Connecticut! “What a fall, my countrymen !” And it is all emphatically the work of the people, without any unusual ex citement or bustle—a beautiful illustration of the axiom—“ soder ^ecoiid thovght of the j)cople : ultimately right and always ejficimtJ^ More Resig nations I—How the 'physic works !— '^i’he rumor copicd into our paper last week, from the Philadelphia U. S. Gazette, of Mr. Clay’s in tended resignation, is undoubtedly well founded; as the Whig papers of Kentucky say his health is so impaired, from his intense labors at the Extra Con- gr ss, as to render a trip to Cuba or some other southern climate, absolutely necessary. The Globe thinks the Dictator is only “crafty sick,” in conse- ]ucnce of the late elections. It is rumored, also, that C. Datcson, the defeated Governor of Georgia, has resigned his scat in the House, and that Mr. Preston, of South ('^arolina, intends resigning his seat in the Senate. I low defeat scatters the Federal champions. AVe liope ah these rumors may turn out to be true. Clay and a National Bank throivri overboard.— The Albany Evc7ii/tg Journal, the prime organ of Federalism in New York, after advising Mr. Clay to resign his seat in the Senate, and relieve the par ty of the odium attached to him as a leader, thus abandons the cause of the Bank—hitherto the dar ling measure of Whigery: We did not go to Washington ft>r any sucli pur pose as ihe Arguf! cliarges. i\or when there did we urge or ask the President to sign a ‘ Fiscal Corpo ration.’ We wore openly opposed to the Extra Session of congress and as openly opposed to the movement in favor of a bank. The wliig pariy lias struggled for ten years with a bank mill-sione to its Jiock. We have labored hard to cut loose but it has istuck to us like a poisoned shirt. For one we are lesolved to carry tliis load no farther. Those who have ‘stomachs for th« fight’ may go lloundering on til! the sky lulls it* they choose, but tliis lark is not to he caught again iu a bank trap.'’ We hope our North Carolina Ftderal Whigs will not follow the example of their Albany cola- I orer, in ••cuuingthe Bank mill-stcne'’ from about t'aoir Stijk on to the monster, Whiggies— monopoly is the soul of your creed. Anolh-jr N.v.v York whig pap.M’ thus speaks of the causis of ihoir late defeat in that Slate ; The Kh c!lr)i.—The fU ction in this State seems to have resulted in the general success of the Loco Foco tickets.

To us this does not seem .^o appalling as might at first be supposed, In tlie first place, it will teach the whi^s the necessi ty of being (leinocratic whigs as well in action as in ]irol06sion. It will teach ancient Federalism that its : iiion.s arc altogether too antiquated lor modern po litical tactics, and as the recent sweep has general ly driven them from the councils of the slate, we tru't that our I’rienil.s, ri orgiinizing the party for tu- tur^' operations, will select men of known republican principles; tor nothing appears to be more positive ly settled th. il that the nation in its lenijth and breadth is essentially democratic.

Take care of your dry-land ^hip, gentlemen; though it may not be fit for your voyage, yet it will serve as a memento of the f^cnsi'less minnmery and arrant humbuggery practic ed by Whiggery in 1840. The Democrats of Surry will need no stronger argument to revolutionize that County, than the presence and exhibition of this monument of delusive and broken promises. JOHN C. CALHOUN. No American statesman possesses a larger share of the real aflections of the People of this country, than the distinguished Senator whose name heads this article. With his almost unequalled talents and brilliant eloquence, and his ardent love of lib erty and unwearied defence of the rights of the la- *' O boring and producing classes of America, he is fast becoming the cherished favorite of the Democracy in all parts of the Union. And no man is more w'orthy of such a distinction. His ceaseless efforts and powerful speeches in and out of Congress in behalf of popular rights, have throv/n a hallo of glory around his name that will claim for it the afTec- tions of the votaries of liberty so long as that sacred cause shall have an advocate in the land. His speech in opp.osition to that iniquitous measures, the Distribution Bill, is one of the most luminous eflbrts of Mr. C.’s gigantic mind. We have hith erto had so much other matter pressing on our hands as to be unable to give this speech a place in our columns; the reader, however, can gather a pretty good idea of its force and arguments from the following article from that able Democratic print, the Knoxville (Tenn.) Argus: MR. Some of the Whig papers bear their late defeats Vvith a great deal of equanimity and good temper, and occasionally perpetrate some excellent witti cisms at the expense of their party—as, for instance, the following from the New York Commercial Advertiser ; \ Amusing.—The Boston Mercatile Journal closes Nomc just rctlections upon the injudicious course of certain newsapers, by the remarks—‘ Such conduct must result in the destruction of the Whig party.’ ‘ My consciencc!’ exclaimed a rogue in the city of Houston to his lawyer, who advised him to run away; ‘ ain’t I in Texas already ?’ ” Plain Talk.—President Tyler’s organ, the ^hidisonian, speaking of the President’s enemies, I)0th presses and individuals, says; ^Hhey are the that were established, fed, and fostered by the late Lnited States Ba?ik.^' This is a home thrust that will be severely felt by the Madisonian’s late allies. 1 he rumored rupture between Messrs. Wise, Oilmer, and Mallbry, noticed in our last, turns out to be another Federal Whig humbug. We think it is time cur cotemporaries of the Whig stripe should l>egin to correct their morals in this respect. Mr. (nlmer, one of the parties implicated, thus contra dicts the report: “I see from some of tlie newspapers that a misun derstand mg has arisen between Wise and myself, Mallory too. Why not have extended ‘‘e leud to all our colleagues ? It would have been in these truth-loving histographers to have in- ormed the parties concerned when, where and about at we disputed, as I am at the first of it, and pre- hiends are no wiser than I in the premi- rilOM THE KNOXVILLE AHGU3. CALHOUX-THE DISTRIBUTION BILL. In tlie Inst Argus we presented to our readers the speech of Mr. Calhoun, of S. C., delivered in the Se nate of the U, States, upon the Distribution bill.— To those who have read it we need not commend it, it speaks for itself—the enjoyment and instruction its perusal has alibrded them cannot be exceeded by the reading of any political paper that has met our eyes for mouths past. To those who may have been deterreil by its length from examining it we have to say, begin it, and we will then be satisfied that it w}!l not be laid down till its contonLs are tho roughly examined, and the es.sence extracted—long as it seems to be, it has that characteristic of all Mr. Calhoun’s productions—there is not one useless or unnecessary word in it. Each paragraph is a theme, each practical remark of his is a political axiom.— It carries upon its face the evidence of its paternity ; it bears the stamp of statesmanship in all its features. It is one of the best, if not the very best, of Mr. Cal houn’s great productions. We have, ourselves, ever heen opposed to Mr. Clay‘:5 plan of di.^trihuting to the States the proceeds ol'tlie !s;ilcs of the public lands—common place ar guments had long since convinced us that the plan was inexpedient—unjust—impolitic; but till the sub ject had undergone the searching analysis of the gi ant intellect that here takes hold of it, we had not known the distribution bill was liable to such A-eigh- ty objections and involved considerations of such vi tal importance to the constitution and the welfare and perpetuity of the LTnion. In the language of the speech, we believe that the plan of Mr. Clay makes a wider breach in the Constitution, and will be fol lowed by changes more disastrous tlian any one measure which has ever been adopted. "V\ *e will not weaken, by attempting to condense into .-horter space, the arguir.cnt against the constitutionality of the measure. But we propose, as a means of put ting the people on tlieir guard against the seductive appearance in which the scheme is presented to them, briefly to enumerate some of the changes in our political system involved in its consequences : it changes our present financial system; the revenue of the U. States arises from two sourccs, the Itinds and the customs—that from the lands is estimated to amount to above one fourth of the necessary ex penditures of the Government. If that were d'istri- buted to the Jbtates ihe deficit would require the re enactment of a protective tariff, or the creation of another public debt. In Mr. (’;i!houn'.s own v>'ords. It is ‘‘To surrender to the Slates one of tlie two sources of revenue, and to impose a burden of equal amount opon the impoits—it is givingAvith one hand and taking back with the other; it is worse, the ex pense of giving and taking back must be paid foi ; the expense of collecting the duties is known to be about ten per cent.—that of the|distribution about two —making together twelve per cent, as the cost of the process. And this cost cannot be equalised by any .'system of taxes—the suiple States would pay into the Treasury three times as much as they receiv'e by the distribution ; while to the manulacturing State.s, the dut’cs it jiroposes to impose wouhi be bounties, not taxes. It is a cunningly devisctl scheme to take from one State and iive to another to repleni.sli the treasury of some of the States from the pockets of the people of the others. But what is siill worse, the money to be distributed will not go to the peoj^le, but to the Legislatures of the States. while that to be paid in taxes to make up the deficiency will be taken from them individu ally. A small portion only of that which would go to the I..egislatures would ever reach the pockets of the people. It woul 1 he muler the control of the dominant party m the Legislature, and they under the contrf)! of the le.idcfrs of’ihn partv. and would be ailminisii''ei.l tv) the advanlaire ol t!H,*inselves and their friends and partisans; while The deficiency would be supplied from the pockets of the great mass of the community by taxes on tea. coffee,^ salt, iron, and other necessaries of 1 ife. The' share of the money distributed to the indebted States would pro bably be pledged for the redemption of their bonds — the only efiect of which would be to enhance their value in the hands ol the Rothschilds’ and Barings’ abroad, and the wealthy brokers and stock-jobbers at home. The portion that might fiill to the States not indebted would be pledged as a fund on which to make new loans for new and visionary schemcs of Internal Improvement. But another miscliievous effect of the distribution scheme would be, that it would Avithdraw entirely from the defences of the country one of the only tAvo sources of our revenue —it would strike a direct and deadly blow at our system of fortifications?, and building, equipping, and maintaining our gallant navy.” ° But fipart from these more special objections to tlie distirbution policy, Mr. Calhoun remarks, “Its direct tendency is to universal discord and distrac tion-—to array the new States against the old—the non-indebted against the indebted, the staple against the manufacturing—one class against another—and finally the people against the Gov’ernment.” Mr. Calhoun has long been indentified with the strict constructionists and State-rights party, with whom originated the Virginia and Kentucky Reso lutions of 1798—the party that, insulted at the ag gressions by England upon our national rights and national honor in 1812, declared \\'3iV i'or free trade and sailoi'^s rights. He is still indentified with the Constitution and the party supporting it. We again earnestly invite the attention of our readers to his excellent speech, and close by giving his eloquent and powerful concluding paragraph: And now, Senators, let me entreat you, in the name of all that is good and patrioic—in the name of our common country, and the immortal Fathers ol our Revolution and founders of our Government, to reject this dangerous bill. I implore 3^ou to pause and ponder before you give your final vote for a measure which, if it should pass and become a per manent law, would do more to defeat the ends for which this Government was instituted, and to sub vert the Constitution and destroy the liberty of the couiAry, than any which has ever been proposed.” A report has been going the rounds of the papers, that the Hon. Caleb Cushing, member of Congress fom Massachusetts, was shortly to be married to a daughter of President Tyler. A correspondent of the Richmond Enquirer, writing from AVashington, Savs the rumor is unfoundf'd THE BANKRUPT LAW. It should be borne in mind by the People, that the Federal Whigs are alone responsible for this iniquitous measure—the Bankrupt Law. They passed it through Congress against the united vote of the Democratic members, and their presses and stump orators have boasted of it as the great measure of the ever-to-be-remenibered Extra Congress. De signed for the exclusive benefit of the wealthy mer chant and speculator—the stock-jobber and bank nabob, it was lioped by the Federal leaders that it would unite in their support all these potent in terests in our great cities, and in all the States where pecuniary embarrasments, consequent upon visiona ry speculations, weigh so heavily upon this c.lass of citizens; and through their influence and money to sway elections and retain tbcir ill-gotten power. It is unfortunate, however, for these plotters against the interests of popular rights and honesty between man and man, that the friends of the peo ple yet have the power to speak out and expose their unpatriotic measures; and that the people themselves cannot be caught in gull traps every day. The glaring hijustice and fraudnleut operations of this Bankrupt Law have been frequently pourtraycd by the Democratic press and orators, but by none with more clearness than is done by Gov. Polk, of Ten nessee, in the following extract from his Speech at the Dinner lately giver; him in Nashville. [extr.\ct.] In the catalogue oi' relief measures of the late Ex tra Session of Congress follows the bankrupt law. This law provides for voluntary and involunta ry bankruptcies. In its practical operation it will apply almost exclusively to the former class; to fail ing merchants, speculators and other large dealers and traders. Banks which fail to pay their debts are exempted from its operation, under the class of involuntary bankruptcies—thus making an unju.st and odious distinction in favor of these privileg'ed corporations over individuals. ^ By tlie provisions of the law the debtor may pay of} all his creditors by an oatli, leav'ing his “ partners, joint contractors, endorsers and surfties’’ liable for the debt, and though he may afterwards V)ecoiae wealthy, his rredltor.s or those who have been made poor by having his debts to pay for him, have no le gal remedy or recourse. Tlic orphan children of the creditor, endorser, or security, may be in penury and want, and look on without remedy on the Bank rupt who has obtained his discharge in court, and see him in the full enjoyment of all that wealth or luxury can afford. The credit may have been ex tended upon the character of the debtor lor business, or upon the known fact that he had an estate in ex pectancy from an ancestor, and yet when at a future day it decends to him, and ho comes into possession of it, it cannot be reached. A familiar case, not un likely frequently to occur, may illustrate still f'urther xh'i^ measure. *A merchant sets up in business. He brings with him a fine stock of goods^ appears to be full handed and has money at command, but wheth er he is operating upon borrowed capiUil or real means no one knows. After he is in business a few months, he obtains a high credit in his neighborhood, buys the farmer’s cattle, pork, tobacco, or cotton on credit; borrows the surplus money of those who have earned it by the sweat of the brow, wlio desire to draw interest upon it and think it safe in his hands, TtP.vl procures his friends to endorse for him. Af'tcr a time he converts most ol his visible property into money, gives it out lie is broke, takes the of the bankrupt law, and pays all his dept. !»v -u •' ‘h; and obtains a clear discharge' His hidileii treasure is concealed from all liuman eyes but his own, and he is beyond detection. The temptations to commit perjury will be very strong, and numerms frauds will be inevitable. The farmer or small dealer, re siding at a distance from the federal court., can sel dom if ever avail himself of its provisions. It will operate in favor of bankrupt rterchants and traders alone, and to the prejudice of all honest and solvent rnerchant:*, and to the balance of the community.— That there may be some unfortunate cases of honest men who fail in business, is freely conceded, but these will rarely be oppressed by their creditors, and if ever able to pay, they will cheerfully do so. I would abolish imprisonment for debt. I would inciircprate the person of np free man in the walls of a prison, or otherwise deprive him of his liberty, if he Avas honi'st, had been unfortunate, or from other causes Avas unable to pay iiis debts; but I Avould hold him lia]»le to pav, if in after lilc he should be come able to do so. The bankrupt law is retrospective in its opera tion, coverin;^ debts contracted before its passacre, Jind iinpairing the obliration of contracts. By its provisions, too, the bankrupt, having squared off his old debt=;, (it may be by the use of easy conscience,) may become a bankrupt a second time and pay off his new debt by a second oath; provided he Avill give up money or property enough to pay 75 cents in the dollar of the new debts he has contracted.— I nder jts operations reckless gamblers in trade may be expected to increase in number. If they are fortunafc in their new enterprises it is Avell. If un fortunate. they cannot be Avorsted in their circum stances. The federal addres.g of the Avhig members of Con gress, published at the closc of the late extra ses sion, declares that the bankrupt law Avas one of “ a series of measures which were supposed to embrace the scheme of relief which the nation at large re quired, and met from a Avhig Congress that support, of AA'hich the chief argument and highest A'alue are derived from the re.spect which every one felt to be due to a comprehensiv'e policy, whose scope should include every interest in the nation.” All that was Avanting to complete the series Avas a National Bank, upon Avhich the bankrupt might lean, that is, bor- roAV money to set up in business again : and by bor- roAving, be the more eflectually able to conceal his fraud, if he had practised one in his bankruptcy.— Such are the relief measures of the late brief ad ministration, for the old ministry has gone out and a new one has come in, leaving the President Avith Mr. Webster alone in place. The Federalists about Raleigh lately gave Mr Gej. E- Badger a public dinner, in order, we sup pose, that he might have a chance to dole out his account of the blow up of the Cabinet, the death of the “ Fiscalities,” and the wreck of Whigery in general The toasts on the occasion are of the true-grit federal, anti-Tyler, Clay order. Gov. Morehead Avas present and toasted himself—-as no body else would do it; and Mr. Mangmn, who could not be present, sent a letter, with the request that it might not be published I Very well thought of, Willie!-—there’s already more of your writings and doings on record than is A’ery creditable to your consistency or political integrity. This cfTortto ex cite a little sympathy for Mr. Badger, and make political capital for Avaning Whigery out of his misfortunes, Avill be “nogo.” And we advise our opponents to put ofT any more feasting imtil after the next summer elections, when Gov. Morehead, and the whole posse of Federal leaders in this State, will be in a better frame of mind to sympa thise Avith Mr. Badger, and when all their sorrows may be drowned in one general frolic. We charge nothing for this advice. Winter.—After seA'eral weeks of pleasant and even warm weather for the season, there was a vio lent change on Saturday last, follov/ed on Sunday by a considerable fall of Snow, (the first that we have had this season,) accompanied by a piercin" Northeast wind. Old Winter has now come upon us for good, and our friends must SHUT THE DOOR after them, or the “ Devil Avill be to pay,” (that is, our Devil charges sixpence for every time he has to shut the door after persons coming into the office.) A Washington Correspondent of the New York Express, says the current revenue will fall far short of the expenses of Gevernment, and that Congress Avill haA'e to decide between “repealing the Distri bution LavA', or levying more taxes,” and that the Se cretary of the Treasury will recommend an increas ed Tariff. See what Ave are coming; to! The Comptroller’s Report for the fiscal year ending the 1st instant, is in course of publication in the Raleigh papers. When fiinshed, w'O Avill co py such portions of it as we think may interest our readers. It is stated in some of the papers, that the Hon. Benjamin Tappan, one of the Ohio Senators in Congress, intends resi(rnini- his seat, and that he Avill o > O O be succeeded by the Hon. Alexander Duncan, formerly a Representative from the Cincinnati Dis trict. Death of the Hon. Dixon II. Lewis.—--H\\e. Charles ton Mercury, of the 20th in.st., contains the sorroAV- ful intelligence of the death of this Avorthy and dis tinguished Representative from Alabama. He died of congestive fever, in the vicinity of Mobile. The Mercury, in noticing his demise, thus speaks : “To Alabama, it is the loss of a son and leader, than whom she had none nobler. * * His country’ and the great cause of truth have lost in him a vigi lant, efficient, and dauntless champion—Avhile all Avho-knew him personallyAvilI remember him as the faithful friend, the strong minded, cheerful, frank, and generous man.” [Advices from Mobile, later than the abov^e, do not confirm the rumored death of Mr. Lewis. We hope the report was premature.] The Washington Globe, speaking of the rumor ed resignation of Mr. Clay, says: “ Mr. Clay, during the extra session, gaA*e the De mocratic members, avIio complained oflhe intolera ble fatigue of sitting from ten in the morning un til the sultry night brought up the dog star, a ix’cipe against the diseases th**y apprehended. (Pise as I do. (said Mr. Clay) before the sun in the morning— spend an hour or two in e.vercise on horseback or on foot the7i make a toilette (with the aid of a man Chariy, we suppose,) and he ready at ten for busi ness in the Capitol, and I Avill insure against the mal adies threatened by the tide water swamps of the ri- ver.s that surround the Capitol even in the do"- days, and the exhaustion of our long sessions. At all events, I Avill pay the doctor^s bills.^ To these re marks, Avhich we well remember. Dr. Pinn replied with a warning; and it would seem that fate lias ta ken Mr. Clay at his word, and that he Avill haA*e the doctor s bills to pay. W'e wish most sincereh\ how- eA'cr, that he may bo only sick of politics—.sick of the v.'ork of the extra session, and that he if; n rea- ly sutleririg m hh {repaired ly his inten.ie ' an.vielies at the c.rtra session.’’ We trust l;Kf, oil Northumberland, he is only ‘crafty tficu ; nut it'it be otherwise, and he should visit Cu ba for his health, we cannot give a better proof that we do not bear him malice than by recommending fiim to consult the distinguished Cuban physician to vA'horn we feel that we are indebted for the fortunate result of our last year’s visit to Cuba. He Avill find Dr. Mciklcham of Havana, a man of genius and profound skill in his profession, and adorned Avilh many of the noble traits of character Avhich belong ed to his near kinsman. Sir Walter Scott. And, Avhat Ave knoAv will be a still greater motive with -Mr. Clay to make his acquaintance, he Avill find him the husband of'Mr. Jeff'erson'‘s grandaugh- ter, oneof the most aniiable and*excellent of herfanii- ly race, Avho, by some strange fatality, are all, for the most part, banished from the country—the in dependence of which Mr. Jefferson declared and ably contributed to maintain—to seek their fortunes in lands lying under the most despotic rule.” Mr. Yorkrille Compiler, our Dkvil wants you to ‘‘fix up” your machine and roll out a Christmas Address for his patrons: and it must be none of your “common doins’.” Can you come it? The Abolitionists of Massachusetts have elected a negro, black as charcoal, to the Legislature of that State. Of course, the southern whigs rejoice greativ at the late victory of thoAx friends in Massachusetts. The Legislature of South Carolina assembled on Monday last. As yet no business of interest has been transacted. Mr. Felder crave notice, that he will, to morrow, introduce a Bill to prevent public officers from receiving in payment of public dues, the bills of such Banks as refused to accept the terms of the Act of'the last Session, relativ’e to the suspen sion of specie payment. Mr. Huger has introduced a Bill relative to the distribution of the proceeds of the sales of the puplic lands. Both of these Bills Avill probably elicit inter esting debate. The Governors Message No. 1, A\'as read on Tues day. W”ithout expressing any opinion as to the pe culiar political doctrines advanced, we cannot but re mark, that it is Avritten in a fine style, and as a State paper, is highly honorable to the Governor.— Tem perance Advocate, Nov. 25. Late Arrival from Europe.—~H\\e Caledonia, arrived at Boston, brings London papers to the 3d and Liverpool to the 4th of the present month. The news of the acquittal of IMcLeod was Avell re- ceiA'ed in England.
