It is now twenty years since they first elected me to the Assembly, and from that day to this they have stood by me through good and tbrough'ttvil report, and sustained me under all circumstances with a zeal and fidelity almost un known in this country and the last crowning act of their continued kindness and confidence, a wakens the deepest emotions of a grateful heart. I trust loo, that you will not blame me for ex pressing the gratification and pride which I feel in receiving so flattering a vote in my native Slate. But these things are in a measure person al to myself, and, therefore of little importance. But the cordiality and unanimity with which the Whig ticket hss been sustained every where. North and South, East and West, is a just cause of National felicitation. It proves that the great Whig party is truly a National party that it oc cupiea tbe safe and conservative ground which secures to every section of the country all that it has a right lo claim under the gauranty of the Constitution that such rights are'inviotate and as to all other questions of mere policy, where Congress bits the constitutional right to legislate. the will of the people, as expressed through their representatives in Congress, is to control, and that will is not to be defeated by the arbitrary interpo sition the veto power. This simple ru'e, which holds sscred . all constitutional gauranties and leaves the law-making power where the Constitu tion placed ii, in Congress, relieves the party at Hre frffflvlbhembrramr-q rise out of sectional djilf rences ol opinion and en ables it to act for the good of the country. When the President ceases to control the' law-making power, his individual opinions of what the law ought to be, becomes comparatively unimportant. Hence we have seen Gen.

Jm.ThI! riRBTRBseLTOy 'TAKKrO KO PtKDOES.--? The justice and appropriateness of the following reiuarks of the New York Courier will strike eve- ry reader; - - -- r - -y- There is one feature connected with the elec tion of General Taylor, that must be as gratifying as it is remarkable : We hear nothing, or very little, said about cjice. We have never known a Presidential driest hitherto which was not follow ed by a general scramble for spoils. As soon as the result was known, every supposed avenue to influence has heretofore been choked with appli-! cants for office. Nothing ol this sort is witnessed now. None claim office as the reward of parly service. There is little speculation concerning the changes that are always inevitable upon the accession of a new administration. Evtry body seems disposed to let things take their course probably for the sufficient reason thai, even if they I were to try, bey joujdnotjprevemju All men, ot an parties, seem io nave connaence lhtt Geii'l Taylor will act justly, prudently, tnd with regard to the public good in dispensing the patronage belonging to his office, and none seem lo suppose that they w ill improve their chances by clamorous appeals on the ground of personal or party service. ' : This is a most auspicious relief from what- if usually end justly felt to to one of trie most de grading features of a Presidential election. We trust that, in this respect the future will .not belie the past. ! . i--;; ;" Discovery is Missii-sirrr n 'thev Southwest ern part of Franklin county, Miss., there is a plat form or floor of hi w ii stone, neatly polished, some three feel underground.'

There exists a great variety in races, languages and costumes of the latter there are said to be 22 different ones in Switzer land alone. There is not Ibis variety among' the upper classes ; lo sse them you must go into the retired provinces and among the peasants. They are very interesting in a philosophical point of view, as landmarks of the past, and as evidence of great dissimilarity io tbe origin of the people. Thirteen different languages are spoken in Eu rope, ol wbicn the English, t rencb and Uerman are the chief. The Italian and Sweedish rank next, while the Spanish and Polish even are real ly rich in literature. They may all be classed in three great famines, L.atin, teutonic and Sla vonic; each spoken by about 75,000 000. '1'he religions of Europe Correspond strikingly to this division of languages. Those who speak the languages comprised-under tbe Latin, as.the Ita lians, the French, Portugese and Spaniards, are mostly GatWolicSf1 toee-Harbo,-peekTeotome are chiefly Protestants; while those who use ihe dialect cf the Slavonic belonged to the Greek Church. , ; .
