The current in favor of this great states- man seems to bo growing stranger and stronger every.day. East, west, north and south, there seems to be a firm deiermina lion in the Whig ranks to support him for the next Presidency. Already hns he been nominated for that distinguished office, bv conventions, of the Peonle in the Suites of North Carolina, Georgia, MarylandNew Jersey, New-York, and Massachusetts. While such perfect unanimity of scnti mem' pervades tho Whig ranks, dissention find discontent soem lo fill the cump of our political enemies. " Tho party" is now divided each faction seems determined to support its favorito for the Presidency. WLilo a1 portion of the Locofoco party strenuously odvocnto the claims of Col Johnson, another portion ns zealously advo cate Mr. 'Calhoun; Mr. Buchanan, Mr Van Burcn, Gen. Cass, Commodore Stew. art, and tho Great Uumbugger, also have their friends. It is at present difficult t say who will eventually bo the Democratic candidates, or how many t!tcrt will bo ; but be this as it may, tho Whigs havo nothing lo fear, so long as they fearlessly advocate ..Rrirrwi pr.m.Mp. ,cn now o.no tnem together os a firty, and which so gloriously triumphed in 1840.-Lfctthcm inscribe on their bunners in the approaching contest " A sound national currency, icguluted by the will and authority of the people : An adequate revenue, with fair protection ta American industry : , Just restraints on tho Eseeutivo power, embracing a further restriction on the ex. -erciio of the veto: A faithful' administration of the public do. main, with an equitable distribution of the proceeds of the sales of it among all tho States : .

ANOTHER DEATH BY B0XIN0....A fight re cently took place near Heading, I'u., lii which one of the conibatarrts, a fine yousg . man, was killed.

CT The Ilngcrstown Torchlight, speak, iag of the nomination of Mr. Clay by the people of Maryland, bays: " The nomi. nation meets with universal approbation. We do nott know a single inerrber of tho Whig party in our country with whom he is not.thc first choice. His march U onward. - Tlie next Legislature. Speaking of tho next Legislature, the Fayettcvtflc Observer, of the 28th ult., holds tho following language : . . 1 The publio may look for rome queer scenes irj the ensuing Legislature of North CHf alina; The great squabble for the loaves and fish,, the honors and emoluments, with which the session will begin, continue, and end, will afford some sp jrt to a looker oik- Wo take it for granted, oT course, thai every place ..worth two JttnisLt-perjce will bo duly scrambled tor, and tluit some tin rough-going Loco will succeed every Whig whose office can be reached. We shall see hovr beautifully their conduct will con- form to their denunciations of" Whig pro. senptmn. According to their declarations before the election, and when they had no iii;.a of. securing a majority, it whs pro. scription For o Wing Legislature even to elect Whig Senators in place of the two uocofoens who had resigned, buch is not our doctrine. ' That is n place which ought to be filled with one whose politics corres. pond with those of the body which elects him. In regard to minor; and merely ex teutivef nflices, our opinion is well known, that the proscription of such, on every change of Administration, is the vert worst of the evils entailed upon the country by Gen. JaeksonV evil exarrmlo. It is the mothor.of all ther evils, of fraud, pecu lation, interference of office holders ia dec tions, and such like. It is fair, therefore,1 that a Locofoco should succeed Mr. Graham. We only wish that a man of equal talents and weight of character could bo chosen, of which howcvort-j'e have no hope. Tho contest will probably be between Drown and Sum. ders, and we think the former will succeed. Both have claims upon tho party. Both have suffered in the cause of the Democ. racy, ni.d both have been liberally reward t d. Frocn the day that Brown essayed a piidvd battle with the 1 irnentcd John Stan. !y, and was prostrated by a 'single breath of that extpordinary rnan, he has been n pet of his party, attaining to the highest post within their gift, a pigmy among gi nnts, k4s true, but only the more endue re.

His position as a. mem ber of the Stnto Senate,- (of which, too, he will probably bo speaker,) will give him a decided advantage.. Gen. Siunders, wo think', will bo his. competitor. Ho is of a higher order of talents, but has less personal popularity; though that could scarcely be interred from a recollection of tho many offices he has filled.

Sonate, and it is said is earnestly electioneering for it, speaking rather freely of Brown, and of the paucity of his claims to tho office. lie is regarded as the Cilhoun Nullification candidate;- whilst Brown is a Van Buren ite. The battle will rnge fiercely, but we think Brown will he victorious. For the minor offices, we h ive heard but one candiduto named, though doubtless plen ty of others are in the field. It is said that the Hon. Charles Shepard would be very well pleased to take up his abode in Rileilt its Treasurer, and we know not a mcrnlx-r of tho party on whom we would bo better satisfied to sen tho office conferred not that--wc4r-vetha-ilightut r g ud for him as pol it ici n,-buxLticakscJ)eiiu.,rey),nsibh and capable mm, ond will doubtless make a good officer.

Trobably no other SNte can tkinst of never having bad a IJ ink (ail. ure within its limits. And whilst the ppnple are thus bh-steJ with at least an exepTioni from llw curse of other States, the State itself derives about a tenth part of all its taxes from the Banks, exclusive of the large inornr it hj from dividends.. .These con sidersiion will scarcely be dcemixl sufii cient, however, to atny the hands of a party in power, and pledged to the work of re. form. , ' Of one thing we feel convinced : There is a wry strong disposition among; the Stockholders of our Banks to quit the busi. dcm. Ijt that they care a straw for the epithets of 41 rogues and thieves" showered upon them bv such as, if there has been any thievery, must hav been partieeps cri. minis. But that, under the influence of popular clamor raised by domajiojiues, con. fidence has been so impaired as to restrain the business of $anling within unprofitable wUethcrTj limits. It U exceedingly doubtful even under the existing state of things, our Ltanfcs can muke u per -cent, lor the iSiocc. holders ; and if they are to be incumbered with further restrictions, by which that profit is to be still further reduced, it will bo well for the Legislature to devise some other mode of providing a currency, for in our opinion the interest of the stockholders of the present Banks will induce 'them to surrender their charters. ,,-,: . . " 5 Newport, Trrtn., Oct 3. Ma. IIoeKhts, If it be true, as oflen quoted, that " distance lends enchantment to the view," this village should always bo seen from a distance. Of the inhabitants I say nothing more than perhaps a kinder, worthier people, so far as I have. had the opportunity to know-thcmr would be hard to find; but the location, ond general ap. pcarance of the Village is, i believe, a little the worst of any I have ever seen. Our own U bad enough in all conscience, but it is the perfection of beauty and a model for convenience, compared with this. I have often, almost tortured my brains to find eomotUing tiUo prbabfo rrniol) that Could have induced person to lor ale some county sites where they are found. Yesterday being the Sabbath, I rested here, and in the morning and afternoon at. Ltended church, where I saw a large, atten- live, and very orderly congregation. There h is been for some time past, and still is, all through this section of the country, and indeed in almost every part of 13. Tcnnes see, a very great excitement on the subject of religion. At this timg there h a camp, meeting, in progress within ono mile of Groctii villi;- held by ministers of the Pres byterian church at which, up to yesterday morning, considerably over one hundred persons had been added" to that branch of tho church. Another camp-mctting, five miles from the same place, is in progress held by ministers of the Methodist church at whicrrjup to yesterday morning, nearly three hundred persons had been added to that branch of iS?ehureh Swwiiar success has been had at popular meetings in many other parts of the country, h will be re. collected that, in this same region, less than twelve months since, there was.. an unusual and nll-pervadi j.g interest taken in tho temperance cause. Tho pledge wis taken, and has been sacredly kept, by enger thousands; and following closq by hns been this powerful revival of. religion. This is, as it almost invariably-has been, and will be ; wherever thero lias been great prosper riv In ttie temnernnce cause it haa ..been followed soon by a revivwl cf religion : end wilhJhil faciundeniably before him, how any man, making pretensions to icligion, can hold out in his opposition to that cause, is a mystery I shall not nt prescnj under, take to ...sol ve. Time was when wtll-dis-posed and good men engaged in the busi. ncss of making and vending spirits, and an excuse is found for them in that they did it "in ignorance-nud unbelief." But I must confess, that TTor one, I can have but little confidence in the religion of him who will engage in it nt this day with ull the light before him which has been poured upon the subject. I believe if a man have one spark of 'the love of Christ in his heart nnd would see this subject in its proper light ho would sooner brg hi bread from door to door than obtain it. by such nic.ns ! And yrtjou know tTieroaFenbT wanting at least a few high-toned professors in west cm Carolina who make and vendardenl spirits, and-thus scatter - arrows Pre brnnds nndllealhV" through tho land, and then galo the Holy Sacrament, looking as sanctimonious as if they never thought, much less did evil ! This rmy seem severe, and perhaps it is xo but it is really high, time something were- tione to wipe away this reproach from tho church of Christ ; and as persuasion has fniled, let public at. tcntjon be called to tho subject timi public indignation rest upon those guilty heads nd callous hearts, that cannot be touched by the force of argument, por moved by the bitter tears and silent woes of tho wi dow, nor the pitedus cries of the helpless orphan ! -; 2 " Yesterday an occurrence of rather an afflictive character -took place in this vil.
