The election in this Slate was I'or members of Congreaa and Slate Legislature. According to whig logic, this is a small, trifling State, when jt ia democra tic, but a first rate glorious State when the whigs carry it. This is the State which its last whig Legislature is said to have most shamefully Gerrymandered ; that is, placed all the Congressional Districts in such a posi tion as to ensure whig majorities in all of them, but the lecelit election shews that it was all to no purpose, for the Democrats have elected every Congressman but one, (five in number) and elected a moderate whig over the regular whig candidate! besides a ma jority of 17 on joint ballot in the Legislature ! This insures a Democratic Governor and all other officers of State, as they are elected by the Legislature. Who won't say hurrah for New Jersey ? Pennsylvania. Up to the time of our paper's going to press, on Friday afternoon, 12 democrats and 10 whig bad been elected to Congress; two districts to be heard from, which it is pretty certain will elect democrat aud a whig respectively, making the delegation stand 13 democrats and 11 whigs. The democrats (says the Globe) will have de cided majorities in both blanches of the Le gislature. Hurrah for that. Ohio. A letter to the Editor of ihe Globe, Ktates that the democrats have elected 12 and perhaps 13 members of Congress. The let- ter does not state how mauy whigs have been elected, but the Baltimore Sun gives 7. In the Legislature the race is very close, and the majority on joint ballot, for either party, will not be over one or two. The democrats have 4 majority in the Senate ; the whigs will have a majority in the House. Baltimore Citt. The election of Mayor and Council of Baltimore on the 16th. Jas. O. Law, a whig, was elected Mayor by 332 majority, and the whigs have a majority of 4, ia the Council. What can be the matter with the Baltimoreans ? We cannot see what THE STATE CONVENTION. The Wake Corresponding Committee of the Democratic party bave decided upon THURSDAY, THE 14th OF DECEM BER NEXT, as the day for holding the Democratic State Convention. The last Raleigh Standard, in announcing this fact, makes some judicious remarks, and advises our democratic friends throughcut the State, to organize. Without dwelling upon that, we earnestly solicit the democratic party of the State to be fully represented in that Convention. In all delegated bodies for the transaction of the business of the party, there should be a full representation by all means. If the democratic people are negligent about sending their representatives, they should not .rriimhln if ihev find everv thine was not jn- j done to their liking. Those who wish their views entertained, and their influence felt, should go to the Convention or delegate eome one to represent them ; and not, as is often the case, stay at home, take no trouble upon themselves, and when the Convention has adjourned, after doing to the best of its ability what it considered to be for the advancement of the party, grumble and croak at what has been done. We pray you send on your dele gates. Let us have a full Convention a free interchange of opiuions, and whatever we; may think best to do, do it; and let the de mocratic party as one man, put its brawny shoulders to the work: and if we don't suc ceed, we shall at lea it ha.'e the satisfaction4 of knowing that it was beyoud our stiength, and not from inactivity. In regard to some of the recent elections, the Fayetteville Observer says : The tide has turned, and it will bear Henry Clay iu triumph to the Presidential Chair. Are you sure of that! lou speak very positively; more positively, we think, than a prudent man would speak. You teish it to be so, and therefore you say it vull be so. How vain and presumptuous it looks for a man to sit down and deliberately assert that he can look so far iuto the dark vista of futurity, as to say that a certain event will occur in the course of 12 months! When Parson Miller telis us that the woild is to be destroyed at such a time, we scout the idea, and hoot at the man as a fanatic, or something worse ; when a fortuue teller assures us that such and such will be our destiny, we listen to lie sure, but do we behtve ? do we have faith iu what we hear? No. And so it is when a political editor says that his caudidate will be borne in triumph to the Presidential chair at certain period. The people read this sort of assertion, and some believe in it, (for there are fools enough in the world to believe any thing, and in truth this is the sort of peo pie, for whom such assertions are made) but the more enlightened portion of mankind, pass them by as idly as they would M iller's predictions; and if they think upon the sub ject at an, it is only to meditate upon me frailty and presumption of poor humatiity. Why Heury Clay may be in his grave by that WHEEDLING. The Fayetteville Ob-j server calls the Calhoun meu " southern de mocrats !" This is wheedling of the most bare-faced sort How many week has it been siuce a "southern democrat" was runn ing in this District for Congress? But a few weeks; and whoever heard the Observer can hint a " democrat X" When did the Observer ever call Mr Calhoun or any of his support ers a "southern democrat," since ho came back lo the Demociatic party? Bui now, in order to entourage a split among the demo crats, which may enure to his benefit" he will condescend to call them dewiocrow. Well : if the Calhoun men will eat your soft com, which to us seems to have a taste of the despicable, feed away. "Southern democrats" aud "northern locofocos"! Well, well; Tis strange there should such difference be Twixt tweedle dum and tweedle dee. But it seems that the Observer has become marvellously careful, of southern interests lately. We have seen in his paper, regrets that any attempt should be made to array the north against the south ; but it is no harm -fc do so, wheu it u for the good of whiggery, He cau see now that it is not good for the "southern demorrau" to unite with the "north ern lo.iofocos" a distinction without a differ ence : " He must have optics sharp I ween, Who sees what is not to be seen." We know that the Observer's soft corn will he looked upon with loathing by every rue "southern democrat;" yet we notice it, to shew the little tricks to whick a despairing partizan will resort; how like a drowning mau he will catch at a straw. Let the "southern democrats" ask this editor, so careful of their interests, if he will forsake Clay, aud go for electing a " southeru democrat." i t- i .i l: J .V. creai puoiic 2000 me wniija ever uuuo uicic, 1 . ... , , ,. . fv.,. .i k Jm k..k; ,.,.fc KH. .J time or, u that should not happen, some the democrats.

Then how futile, vain, and pre? umptuous, THE LATE GEORGIA ELECTION. The Macon (Ga.) Telegraph, accounts for the late defeat of the Democratic party in that State, as follows : "It will be recollected, that in 1840, the whigs carried all before them, Legislature, Congressmen, Electors, &.C., by some 7,000 majority. ( There was no election for Gov ernor that year, or they would have car: led that also.) But they managed so badly while iu power, that in 1841 the people changed the Legislature, and in 1842, .their Congress men the latter by a small majority, however say 15 or 1 600, in a vote of near 70,000. - The same causes that changed the whig Legislature of 1810, changed the democratic one of 1S42 ; viz : they had promised too tuuci, before the election, which they found impracticable to comply with besides leav ing undone a number of things (hey could and should have done aud doing many things ihey ought uot to have done. Among other thiugs which contributed to make ihe last Legislature unpopular, was ils opposition to Internal Improvements its advocacy of repudiation increasing the taxes increasing Iheir own pay, and cutting down the nalnries of others passing the magistrate's court bill, which changed the time of holding these comts Horn once a month to once in four mouths &c. &c. Upon one or another of these grounds, a good many democrats took no interest in the election and did not attend the polls. - A fe w voted the o;herticket though they declare their principles remain tne same. " But we are far from being discouraged by this defeat. Democracy is founded on a rock ihat shall survive the test of lime. Though the surges of error and deception may dash ai;aiust her ; base, and now and then over whelm her. vet she will rise the purer, from It is a pretty general rule with whig news papers, that when they lose any States during the Fall and Spring elections immediately preceding a Presidential election, they cry out " that makes the State certain for Clay I paragraph we shall keep in mind, and should iu '40 or '44" (or whatever year it maybe.) we live to see Ihe day, and Henry Clay Now, although we confess we could never should not be borne " iu triumph," we shall not to say wicked, it is for one to say posi- her temporary vdepression-4wasbed whitery tivelv and without reserve, that the tide has ut ot shaken by ttie sbock turned, aud it trill bear Henry Clay in triumph to the Presidential chair !" Well: may be it will be so : but this little see the gist of the argument, we suppose we may make use of the same rule, aud say that Georgia, Maryland, aud Ohio, are certain for Yau Burcn, or Calhoun, or whoever he may be. Rather expect, however, the whigs will object to lhat sort of working of their rules. republish it, and let the world see how bard it Is to be a prophet. We believe the above are the true reasons, and none other ; and we expressed the opin ion Dttvatelv. before the elerlion, that we should be defeated in that State. The llou. Lewis F.

Would you oe niuu enough to enlighten us on this bead V Che ravo Gazette. You are wrong again, air. We did, as early as the last session of Congress, and bave since, expressed an opinion in favor of one of those gentlemen. Yes, sir, we did 'shew our hand," upon more than one occa sion; we staled our individual preference; but there we stopped. We entered into no comparison of the respective claims of Messrs. Calhoun and Van Buren, considering them both to be good and true democrats; and probably as worthy of the Presidency as any of their fellow-citizens. We made no invid ious comparison ; and why ? This press is looked upon as the organ of the democratic party iu this section ; it is supported by Cal houn men, and by Van Bureu men; then shall we, one man, take up the claims of the candidate that we prefer, and press his claims eulogize his service, to the detriment and injury of the other ? W?hy, if we wished to distract and disorganize the party whose prin ciples w e contend for, this would be the course to pursue to do it. If we were to do this, we should probably be honored with the cogno men of " Southeru democrat," instead of a " locofoco." In regard to our opinion about the " proper mode of choosing delegates to the proposed Convention," we have uo hesitation iu say iuf, that so far as the ascertaining of the true will of the people is concerned, the district mode is the true one, but for maintaining the organization of a party fur presenting a bold phalanx an uubroken frout, by Slates, the general ticket system is preferable. We are, however, of opinion that the district system is more democratic, as it approaches more near lv to the true expression of the opinions of the people at laige. A parting word to the Editor of the Gazette: We were sorry to see your editorial of the loth, in which you said " Buf the Charleston Mercury, ihe official organ of South Carolina, has sounded the toc sin oT war, a ltd is hauiiag aiaofulty iodefeueo of popular righfs and Constitutional equality.

This article, as you might have expected, was paraded iu the whig paper of this Town ; and thereupon soft corn was thrown to you. We did hope better things from you : and you have no doubt seen, by this lime, that you committed an error , at least we judge so from a subsequent editorial in your paper of the 14th. You might havo kuown you would of fend your Van Buren friends, and if you had considered well before you wrote, you would no doubt have acted differently. You know, aa we all kuow, that the only safety of any party, is its union ; then as we value our safe r . . ... ty as we love our country and our principles as we wish lo perpetuate those principles, and the g wd name and existence of lha country let us be united.

' Many similar facts could be presented ; but let these suffice. The foregoing rates of 30, 80, 100 and 150 per cent., Sic, snow now closely Mr Clay adheres to the compromise act. The friends of Mr Clay use one other ar gument, which deserves notice. They aay, "goods are as cheap as ever." Admit it to be true ; but are ihey as cheap as they ought lo be? Are ihey as cheap as tbey would be, if the tariff were moderate and equal, or fixed at 20 per cent., according to the compromise! Can iron sell as low at a tax of $25 per ton, as it could at ouly b Or can hemp bagg iug sell as cheap under a lax of five cents 1 square yard, (equal to 61 cents a runniug yard,) as it could under a tax of ouly one ceut? But again : to say that "goods are as cheap now aa tbey used to be,'' is not fair argu ment; because the price of goods has not been natural or fair for S6 years. Ever since the embargo of 1807, goods have been sold at artificial prices ; and especially since the tariff system began, iu 1816, the price of goods has been regulated by the tariff! The real question, therefore, is, not what puces have been ; but what ought they lo be? Shall we not have the benefits of the advance of the arts; the improvements of machinery; the application of animal power, steam, aud the wind, giving facility to productive labor and cheapening all the fabrics lhat we buy?" - ' Iv X IMJ1 1 A r,.

But if ft be cloudy, then the heat, radiating from the earth, will be received by the clouds, and by them the greater portion of it will bo returned to the earth ; thus ihe surface of the earth very nearly retains its temperature, which not only prevents a frost, but almost always prevents even the formation of dew.

In ihe course of a rather lengthy article up on the subject .of ihe recent defeat f the whig ii Georgia, the editor of the South Carolinian alludes to ihe difficulty ol remaining calm and temperate when party feelings are excited, aud tells the following anecdote iu illustra tion : " It is much easier for an one, especially an editor, to preach coolness than to practice it. Among the kind aud valued friends who frequently lectured us on our proneuess to violence, was one who, when we went to Flor ida in 1S36, we induced lo take charge of the chronicle till our return ; one of our objects 111 pressing it on hin being to ahVrd hi:n an opportunity of judging how difficult it was, a-t we had told hiio, to carry his excellent pre- epts iuto practice.

A corres poudentof the Richmond Enquirer, wrilin from London, says : " I am glad to hear of the increasing health ful activity of our State affair.

HORRIBLE DEATHS BY SUFFOCA TION. The Quebec Gazette of the 22d ult. gives an account of four deaths, w hich occurred in the neighborhood of that city, at Canard iere, by attempting a descent into a well. "John Suburbs bad been some days engaged in cleaning a well, aud had descended a number of times without inconvenience, till the 2 1st instant, when he was observed to let go the rope and fall. Mr Julien's youngest son, observing him thus to fall, immediately gave the alarm, and, without a moment's delay or consideration, descended, and rret wiih the same fate The alarm was then given to the neighborhood lhat two men were lying at the bottom of th.: well; and among those that soon arrived on ihe spot were 11. N. Jones, esq and one of hij men, named Shields. The latter, without tho least hesitation, offer ed to go down lo rescue his U Uovv-;nt-n : in deed, such was his eagerness, thai, when one of the bystanders proposed to tie a rope around him, he could not be prevailed on till this was done. Fatal precipitancy! He bud descended but five or six feet, when he was observed to quit the rope aud fall. By this time ihe feeliug9 of the bystanders were wrought lo the very highest pitch ; and had not Mr Jones been forcibly held back by Mr Julie j's servant girl and one or two others, ho, no doubt, would have shared the samo fate that the three bad already suffered. But, for all this, another victim, named Matthew, with a fatality lhat seems most extraordinary, r.ttempted the rescue ; and, like those who had made a similar attempt, he met with lha same fate aud fell above the other three. By this lime, means were procured, without risk ing the lives of any more, to take the bodies .f ihe four unfortunate men out of the welt: but, when they were brought up. lif was ex tinct in the whole of them. Shield and De- lair were both married men. The former has left a wife and large family to mourn hi imi timelt loss. We have not heatd whether tho other has left any children or uot.

How long tie re mained there I do uol know ; but, asivimia the European dresa he returned lo this ciu, where he was soou recognized, ana """"" iuto prison. Every effort was made by threais and promises to induce him to return to n.e failb oi tbe talse propnei, nut in vim. was on several different occasious, led o'it m chaius to different parts of the city, for execu- ioii. and with the sword of the execuuou- drawu over bis head, he was required to re nounce forever the Christian itlijion believe in Mahomrned; but he resolutely per sisted in declariug that he wan ready to dse rather than deny Christ. On each occasion he was remanded to pri son, aud some say that lortute was there used to effect what tbe threat of instant death cou-d not. To-day, however, the victim flianoi.. niedan fanaticism received the crown of mar tyrdom, in Ihe midst of one of the most ue- quented streets of ihe city. And, as Ihe express iutention of throwiog all Possf " indignity upou tbe name ot nriim, the Christian governments ol tne wo,.u, was executed in bis European dress, auu at. decapitation, tho head, with a Frank cap up on i, was placed between me , . . t' 1 .....I nntr.1(TH()U9 it is a puoiic auu i" c- on all Christian nations.
