The Force of Truth. , It is a mistake to say that democracy was overthrown in ihe recent contest, and a still greater error to doubt its future success. It is true, that, owing to the temporary delusion which for the moment swayed the public mind, we lost a battle we did not succeed in the election of our Presidential candidate, and stale after state wheeled from our ranks to join the enemy. The disasters of the time were to all appearances overwhelming; but, while the numerical results were against us, tfie principle for which we contended, re mained unhurt, and it requires but little aeute ness of vision to perceive that the ductrines of the democratic parly are daily becoming stronger. In reference to the engrossing subjects of banking and currency, the very opinions which were espoused by -democracy rwas alsent; and had Louisa been duly repre correctness of its views every day shows that the principles upon which it rallied and will continue to rally, are essential to the wel fare of the republic, and must finally prevail. It is idle then to say that we have been ovcr thrown no party can be said to be over thrown while its doctrines flourish, and we have, therefore, every reason to look forward with cheerful confidence to the future. There is a power in truth which enables it, like the fabled Antosus, to rise with renewed strength from every fall. 'The Glorious Victory"! The struggle is over: end Wm. C.

Fayetteville, January IS, 1641. 100-2w and which were denounced as the extreme of radicalism, destructiveness, and loco-focoism, are now to great extent adopted and avowed by many of those who were most fierce and unrelenting in their efforts against Mr Van Buren. We do not of course allude to lead ers, but to the mass of the whig party to a large proportion of the mercantile classes to those who were induced honestly to believe that such measures as the Specie Circular and the Constitutional Treasury, intended, as they were, to check the madness of the credit sys tem, were in fact a warfare upon the best interests of the country: Thinking, indepen dent men of this description are opening their eyes to the true state ot the case. Their once worshipped idols have fallen. They have now no faith ia the financial oracles whose word it was heresy to dispute whose acts it was treason to criticise, and whose lutallibili ty it was the worst of offences to doubt. they admit that the banking system, not long since regarded as without an imperfection, and as entitled to stand superior to all law and government but the will of its managers, has been replete with vices, and they confess that its abuses have plunged the country into its present embarrassments. They see that an unnatural state of prosperity cannot be sus tained, and that the levensn enects ot an ex cessive currency must result in a prostration proportioned to the previous excitement that the bubble, however expanded, becomes thinner and thinner at each puff that is given to it, and that the moment of its destruction is only made the surer and the more complete as its dimensions are increased. It is con ed ed that the credit system was pushed so ar as to give a gambling character to the pur suits of business and to tempt, not only indi viduals, but even states, into speculations of the wildesland most ruinous character, and it is perceived that the forced production of what are called the "better times" is necessarily neither more nor less than the glittering pre- tace to the worse times under which we are now suffering; while few pretend to deny that there is no health or safety but through some efficient check to the causes which have been productive of so much evil. These views were once confined to the de mocratic party now they are avowed every where, and men are gradually led to discover that the very measuies of government which were charged with oeing the causes of pres sure and trouble, had no other operation than that of contributing in some degree to pre vent the final catastrophe from being quite so great and overwhelming as it would otherwise nave been. Jt is beginning tone seen iuui the policy of Mr Van Buren is the only one to be pursued under the peculiar circumstan ces of the country, and that had he adopted the course insisted upon by the whig patty in 1S37. that of receiving irredeemable paper for public dues and contributing all his inllu- causes T enpugn knows! he would be embarrassed 1.1 U ? . -f .

It was forced through by the great body of the Whigs and by the aid of the previous question.' In vain did the De mociats protest against the indecent haste, with which the resolution was pushed. But it was the sovereign pleasure of the 'Whigs to gag the Democrats, preclude all debate, and to commend the chalice to Mr Rives' lips. They passed it without regard to his feeling, or those of his special Conservative' friends. It is said that they are Dot very well pcased at the first commission which their allies have thought proper to put upou their favorite lead er. One of them is even said to have declar ed, that he could not even consent to belong to such a party. Bichmond Enquirer.

Everv circumstance therefore, contributes to show that the democratic party and Mr Van Ruren were riiht and that their opponents ..em wrnncr that the Soecial Message of 1 S37 was filled with truth in its facts, unde niably conect iu its argument, and sound in its conclusions, and fortunately, now that the day of political passion and prejudice has to a I considerable extent passed away, the minds of men are becoming open to conviction. The re-action is at work the question begins to suggest itself as to whether the change trom a clear settled policy, founded upon princi ples which cannot be controverted and wnicn, in the abstract, few venture to deny, to some thing uudefined and unknown to something which waits upon accident for its develop ment and which may be this or may be this, as chance directs, was not a discreditable blun dering in the datk, unworthy of an intelligent people. Democracy believes that it was reason and common sense decide that it was, and unless they who are shortly to hold the reins of power, borrow largely from the ideas put forth by Mr Van Buren, results will irre sistibly demonstrate that it was. The public begin to see it and to feel it. They now un derstand the true nature of ths movements falsely termed wars upon the commercial in erests, and to find that the actual and destruc tive war which was waged uponinose very interests, was in fact carried on by the ex pan sionists and the advocates of a bloated paper rnrrencv themselves. Under these circumstances, democracy has sufficient cause to. be tranquil and content un der defeat. Events have demonstrated me - J sented, according to the sense of her citizens. the Impracticable Whirrs upon the floor would havo entirely defeated his elec tion. We have never known a Senator of Vir ginia, whose position is less enviable than that of Mr Rives. Cordially supported by scarcely one man who voted for him despis ed by many of their party, and mistrusted by almost all taken as a bitter dose by most, and with pleasure perhaps by none of the W higs, he owes his election to no liberal choice, no high principle, but to that sense of obligation, which operates iu favor of the deserter upon the minds of those whom he has attempted to serve. The debt is now paid: and if he per sists in the false relations which he has pre served to the Whig party, he will have a hard taskmaster enongh to serve. If he even cools in his allegiance, he becomes at once an ob ject of their jealousy and denunciation. As the letter of a private citizen from Washing ton says "His position here will be a most awkward and embarrassin": one. He will be compelled either to maintain his ancient principles of opposition to the Bank, theTa rirlj the doctrines of Internal Improvement, &c, &c, and thus take rank among the op ponents of the new Administration or, he will turn his back upon all the principles and measures of his past life. If he adopt the latter course! he is a ruined and disgraced man, in all time to come. In either case, who envies his position? or what Republican ean dread his election?" He then goes again into the public coun cils doubted by all, suspected by all, un known to all shrouded iu mystery, moving in darkness. He is afraid to come and avow his present principles to the people, who had a right to know them. At a great crisis like this, when a new Administration is coming into power, when every man ought to fly his principles at his mast head, his most intimate friends did not dare in the presence of the Legislature, in the face of a great and a ("rank people, to state his present Creed, or to commit him to any course of action in the discharge of his great and , responsible duties? Such are the glorious and. honorable circumstances which attend the election of W. C. Rives to the first office in the State Such is the char acter of the party, who have "stooped to con quer." They have given their votes to a man, to whom they cannot giie their confi dence. And this is what they call a glorious victory1. They have clutched the fruit; in deed, for the present, but it will turn to dirt and ashes in their hands. Bichmond Enqui rer. The Expunge and the Auti Bank Resolution. Mr Cropper's Resolution has called out some developments ia the House. It seemed strange enough, in the very outset of the busi ness, that the very day after the Whigs elected Mr Rives, they should put his nose to the grindstone. On Monday, they elect the "Little Expunger," as they once sneeringly called him and on Tuesday, they subject him to the office of expunging one of his most prominent acts. This is an inconsis tency, as little creditable to the Whigs, as it is respectful to their eleve. But it is only a shadowing forth of the severe drudgery, to which they arc about to subject him. Wheu the resolution was first submitted last week, what said a Delegate from Norfolk county? "Let the resolution (said he) lie on the table till next week, and I will go with the gentle man from Accomac Irll love to apply the lash to the little man and make him kiss the rod wilh which he smote the Constitution." How did the same gentleman wind up his peecn on tne election ot ivir Kives: lie declared that he cheerfully wrent for Mr Rives, rhe would rescind the expunging resolu tion. Now, they have applied the lash to the Little Man and they are trying to make him kL-3 the rod. But Mr Langhorne was not the only" Whig, who expects this duty at his hands On Tuesday the Resolution was taken up, and pressed through the House by the force of the gag law and the previous question. Mr Cropper (no political friend of Calling Spirits from the Vasty Deep " While some profound Whig financiers are moving iu Congress for the payment of Ihe "fourth instalment of the surj)lus revenue," the New York Sun urges at some length thut the three already paid (deposited the law cun ningly says') should be recalled and applied to the public defence. "Look up the fourth instalment!" says Mr Stanly, turniug a hun gry face towards the Treasury. "Look up the three instalments" says the Sun to the' States, w ith the air of a justice sentencing a loafer to pay ten dollars or stand corrected. Echo answers on both sides out of the dis consolate bt wels of public poverty "Look up ! ! !" and well may both the Federal and State Treasuries '-look up" at the solemn mockery ot such demands. Ihe "fourth instalment" where is it? Why the Whigs say the Federal Treasury is millions in debt, and that they must borrow money and in crease the tariff too, to save it from bank ruptcy. The "three instalments" where aie they? Read them, forsooth! Recal the cargo of salt that the last storm deposited in tho middle of the Atlantic! Recal the wood that was burnt at Chrimas, or Wednesday's sup per of the shark! but talk not of the "three instalments." They are melted, evaporated, "vanished JMercury. into air, thin air." Charleston State of the Country. Finance and JMorals. The extraordinary spectacle was presented yesterday,of the stock ot the U. b. bank selhnir for 47 per cent., which about two or three years ago sold for 120 to 125. The stockholders, many of whom are females, will lose two-thirds of their property. This strange and unprece dented fact is only one taken from series on series, happening all over the country, devel oping the charlatanism and demoralization which prevail over a large portion of the finan cial and political society. In addition to this spectacle, it is stated in our correspondence from Baltimore, that the banks of that city will not resume," and that the principal cause for the adoption of this policy has been created by the wants of the State for a new loan. By these unholy bargains between the politi cians and the financiers, all morals and hones ty all sound doctrine and practical Sense arc set at naught, and cast aside. The various States want more money and the banks want more time heuce the one gives and the other takes, leaving the burden upon the people, iu the shape of taxes, at some distant day. In Congress the same principle aud demoraliza tion seems to prevail. That body are about to pass laws to divide the landed property of the nation among the several States and al so a law lor tho abolition of all debts, under the name of a bankrupt law, excluding corpo ra ions. All these movements put forward by finan ciers and politicians, only lead to the belief that some great and mighty revolution is at hand. The great mass of the people of this country are honest, industrious and moral but the atrocious want of principle anions the bankers and politicians must begin, soon er or later, to produce its natural effects. . We have had a revolution in trade a revolution in politics a revolution in the currency we want a revolution in morals and honesty and that very soon, or the fire and brimstone will soon be ready for another Sodom and Go morrah. .V. Y. Herald. Mr Rives, to be sure, though a Whig,) declar ed, on calling up his resolution, that he "wan ted Mr Rives to know, what we expected from him; to retrace his steps." Aye, and Mr Rives is destined to have the whole Whig game played out : upon him, if they should have the power; not oniy to rescina ine ex punge, but to expunge all his speeches, all his votes to vote for a Bank of the U. S., and reverse all his measures. Gen.
