OsrVeT the plant effair delightful peace t Untetrjl'd hy party rugt t fire like brothers." RALEIGH, Nv C: Satiirday, November .27. A LETTER FROM ML RAYNER. ; TVs confess, that we publish the subjoined I-etter from the Hon. Kexstetii Ratner with real regret a regret that, we feel assured, will be participated in by the Whigs of the State, generally. But we hare no discretiou in the matter. It is his request, that it should immediately be given to the Public, and we feel it ear imperative duty to comply. . Yet, -whilst we regret the necessity for ita publication, ire cannot but express our approval of the prompt and decisive action of Mr. RaYsvwt5cll,,ulmon ishes the parry,'of which he'is so distinguished an ornament, in time to prevent any embarrassment or confusion.. We are rejoiced that, in the good Whig State of North Carolina, the range of selection, in the choice of Candidates for Governor, is not nar rowed down to a few individuals, or to a few Counties- ''SpartaTias other worthy: sons." It is true, thai public sentiment, seemed to bo concentrating all over the Stat, in favor of Mr.. Rather, as the Whig Candidate ; and, yet," we have been aware for months, that if he did accept the nomination, it would . be done with very great reluctance.' It becomes our WhigVrietids, therefore, in this contingency, to be more on the alert to gird up their loins for action prompt, constant,- Immediate action. There is not a Whig in North Carolina, who shall be recommen ded to public favor by the endorsement of a Conven tion, who will not aseertalnly. succeed in his elec tion, as the night follows theday. . Sa far, therefore, from Mr. RatkrV declination dupiaUng our friends, it should stimulate them to increased seal and united action. , Let the Whigs, in every section of the Stale, meet at once, and nominate their favo rite, and then let the Convention assemble and select from the names presented, a Candidate. Repo sing, as we do, unlimited confidence in the good sense of the peopley we shall have-no fears for the result. But tp the letter : " . Jilsury County, Tmmj, ) - November 15, 1S47. J Ch a axis Mooas, Esq. Dur Sit: I have seen in the " Raleigh Regis ter' of the 30th. of October, the proceedings of a Whig Meeting lately held in Buncombe, over which you presided, in which my name is flatteringly men tioned in connexion with the, nomination of a Can didate so be run by the Whigs, for Governor of the State, at the next Election. This suggestion of my name coming as it does from a distant part of the State, where I have never been-, and where I have so few acquaintances, even, is a compliment of which I may, and do, feel truly proud. You will therefore please allow me in the first place, to offer to you. and through 'you to those who composed the meet ing, my most grateful acknowledgments for the honor you have done me, and to express my regrets that I have done no' more to deserve it. Although it may by some be considered prema ture, that 1 shonld anticipate the action of the Con vention, yet I feel it to be due to the Whigs of the State, as well as to myself to respond promptly to jour suggestion of my name. Although I have no right to calculate bebre-hand, on the honor of a nomination being tendered to me by the" Convention. yet I am aware that I have some friends in the State, who will cordially second your movement; and I consider it due to them, as well as. to my friends in Buncombe, who have taken the lead in this matter. that my views and feelings should not be concealed for a day. I have no vain desire to receive a nomi nation by the Convention, merely for the purpose of declining it ; and in order to prevent any misunder standing or mis-direction, of public feeling among the Whigs of the State, I deem it proper to speak in time, and without reserve. For these'reasons, I feel compelled to say to you, that I must decline a! lowing my name to be presented to the Convention, whenever it assembles; and request, that in the various interchanges of opinion on this subject among our Whig friends in the State, attention may no longer be directed to me, but be concentrated on some other person.' a .... ' . l assure you, that in pursuing this course, i am influenced by no underestimate of the honor and importance of the office of Governor. To be the Chief Magistrate of one of the States of this Union, is ah honor whi ch should satisfy the ambition of any one ; and to be selected as the candidate of the Whig forty of North Carolina for that station, is the highest testimonial any one Of her sons could receive, that he "had done his duty to his country. Among the various considerations that have brought me to my present, conclusion, it will be euflickfit to mention the following, of a personal character. - In the first place, my principal Agricul tural interest is in the South-West. Until that in terest (but lately located) becomes more fully estab lished and secured, I shall be necessarily compelled to be absent from the State for .some time .during every year ; so much so, as to render a due attention to my business .incompatible with a discharge of the duties of the Executive offiee et the State. Were this the only objection, I might be induced to forego it, if called on by the Whigs of the State to make the sacrifice. But, in the second place, I honestly tad conscientiously believe, that in a vigorous caa - v&ss of the Stater-which established usage seems to have prescribed as a duty I should jeopard my life. 1 hart for years been subject to violent attacks of illness, caused by some derangement of my nervous JBtem ; and these attacks are invariably consequent pon unusual excitement and fatigue. By subject ing myself to the constant labor, and exposure of an energetic canvass for months, I should be doinggreat injustice to myself pd my family,- in hazard in g my health, and u I believe, my life also ; sd I should beMoing great Injustice to the -Whir- party' of the State, in undertaking a dat which I ooald Wsat- ifl!Ky'perfbrm.'' ;a- i v ; ' v' .Those who know me will hardly chare me witlr iJ digging of teal, ia behalf 'f the great conserr aUte principles' of the Whig pertyV Every -day's experience convinces me more- and more of their truth and importance. .Whoever may be the nomi nee of the Whig Convention soon to assemble, will, if my life and health be spared, receive my most cordial and earnest support ' . ' ' " . Please tender to my friends in Buncombe, my most grateful thanks for the kind and complimentary terms in which they have spoken of me, and accept for yourself the high regards of jrour respectful and obedient servant ' ' ' ' Kt RAYNER.' " . - ,; ' ' - v' - CONGRESS. ,r. This body assembles in Washington on Monday, the 6th of December, and will, probably be'ofle of the most exciting Sessions ever witnessed. The Elections being over,' the' precise siaWof parties in tbe House of Representatives, is known. - It is as follows: Whigs 117, Locos 110. . Mr. Ltoh, the Nat ive American member elect, will vote in the elec tion of Officers, with the Whigs. It seems to be pretty generally understood, that Mr. NAniAjr SABCENT' VUl be the Whig, and Mr. FasNcn, the-candidate of the Opposition, for Clerk of the House of Representatives. The Whigs ha ting a majority, the chances are in favor of Mr. Sarckxt. A LA BAM A. A very large meeting of the friends of Gen. Tat wi for the Presidency, was held at Montgomery on Tuesday week. Jamcs M. Ncwxar; a prominent Democrat, presided at the meeting. Eloquent and energetic addresses were made by Hon. James E. Bsxsxa, formerly a Democratic Representative in Congress from the District, and the Hon. Hknrv W. Hiu.uaD,the present Representative, both pf whom fully and warmly concurred in the objects of the meeting. ' 1 LOUISIANA.

The burners in the great Lantern, : elevated one hundred feet above the dome of the Capitol, were also lighted; but the bright moonlight was unfavorable to a fair experiment The w National Intelligencer" expresses the opinion, that Mr. Crutchett has been eminently successful. The Printing Office of the "Norfolk Bea con was totally destroyed by fire on Saturday night last There are painful surmises, that it was the work of an Incendiary. SUDDEN DEATH. Mr. Chaelxs S. Buciums, son of the Hon. Wm. S. Blackledge, aged about 20 years, was found dead in his bed at Newbern, on Saturday morning last He died of an enlargement of the heart with the premonitory symptoms of which he had long been threatened. WILMINGTON AND MANCHESTER RAIL ROAD. At a recent meeting of the Stockholders of the Wilmington and Raleigh Rail Road Company, a resolution was passed, pledging the Wilmington and Manchester Rail Road $100,000, to be paid on com pletion of said Road, from the proceeds of sale of Steamboats and other property, which will at that time become unnecessary for the purposes of the Company. - PRESENTATION OF PLATE. The service of plate, which was being manufac tured at the time of his death, and intended to be presented to the late Silas Wright, as a token of the high respect and regard of the merchants and others of the City of New York, for his private and public character and services, was on Friday even ing presented to his widow, by the Hon. Johw A Dix, at the Stay vesant Institute, before a large au dience The plate is of the richest and most elegant kind; highly wrought, and mostly beaten out of the solid bar. In dollars and cents it is valued at $18,029, and weighs near fifty pounds, comprising 113 pieces. Mrs. E. H. Foster, wife of Ex-Senator Fos- ixa, died at Nashville, on Friday week. E7" Mr. Harrison, SO years old, and deaf, was killed while walking on the track of the Hartford and Springfield Railroad. The Legislature of Georgia have, in addition to highly complimentary Resolutions, voted to the veteran Brig. Gen. Twiggs, an elegant Sword, in honor of the distinguished services of a native son. C?"The "Vicksburg Sentinel," (Loco Foco,) of the 9th inst, says that Gen. Butler, in conversa tion with, his friends in that City, while on his way to the Seat of War, did not scruple to avow himself in favor of closing the Mexican War by taking a defensive line, as suggested by Gen. Tatlok and other distinguished men. ' : PAREDES. The " Picayune" gives (in translation, of course.) a long manifesto from General Paredks. He ex patiates on the grief ; which he felt, while abroad, at beholding the disasters of his country and tells how he hurried back to offer his services ; which, he says, were scornfully rejected by Samta Anna, who even issued orders for his arrest and imprisonment Now, he awaits orders from the existing Govern ment desiring only to devote his lifefcc, &c. His tt voice is still for war." r - - . - r 07" The Governor of Alabama has, by Procla mation, constituted Montgomery as the seat of Got eminent of "that.State, instead of Tuscaloosa, the corporate Authorities of 'the former .

CovWe learn from the New York papers, that the case of this firm was decided on Monday, in favor of the complainants who got out the writ under the Stillwell Act The members of the unfortunate firm were ordered to be committed to close custody until they make an assignment in favor of the prosecuting creditors, to the exclusion of all Others' Enhimam C.limr , 4.t t SENATOR BADGER .... A .Correspondent of Jhe i Boston Post? jels the following Anecdote of this distinguished Whig: .7. J edge Badger, as a Criminal Lawyer, is probably 1 ..t 1. f . - . l Tt 1 O . . L I I uw mieriur wi any in ne ajohvx oiaies, ana very few are his equals." When'nny one gets into a scrape," Badger is pretty sure" of. getting a fee) "and his fees are not light ' Various" anecdotes are told of hia eccentricity and independence. One Sdndav morning, a stranger called en him, and told him that 2 a h . ... . i , ina -aosoiuxeiy necessary that ne snouia nave some legal advice that day; as he eeuld not'possibly remain till Monday". 1 After Dome hesitation, the Judge heard disease, and gave him the advice j nis customer asked his : fee, and was told that he made no charge for advice given that day. If my memory serves- me correctly, the "stranger" was then en route for the North, having in charge another man's wife. Be that as it may. he eave his Counsel or a fee of $200. The Judze went to the Episcopal Church that morning, of which he is a member and a regular attendant, antl when the contribution plate came round, he laid on it the identical $200 bill re ceived from his Sunday customer. Who will pre tend to say that he did-not make good uae of his money? (Even at the risk of incurring the imputation of introducing private affairs into the Public Press, we will state that we know the above to be correct in its main features. To make the Anecdote approxi mate, however, to the truth, the sum received and given, must be reduced to the amount usually asked for advice on a simple legal question. Earr. Rso Uy The "Charter Oak," published at Hartford, (Conn.) utters the following language jin respect to the late Col. Ransox : "Among the killed, in the recent battles before the City of Mexico, is Col. Ransom, of the New England regiment. He took the sword in an un righteous cause, and has perished by the sword. We regret his death only as we regret that of other Homicides, whose career of blood is arrested by the gallows. . He has perished ingloriously for he has pcribueu iu an inglorious causes Such language is as disgraceful as it is inhuman, and cannot be justified on any ground. PINKNEY AND THOS. ADDIS EMMETT. The "Knickerbocker? for the present month, has the following Anecdote of the two eminent persons named above Where sarcasm, invective and sever ity of denunciation are regarded as tbe characteris tics of eloquence, the lesson which the subjoined nar rative conveys, may operate as a useful corrective : a We do stot know wbeu we have encountered a more forcible exemplification of the truth, that " a soft answer turneth away wrath,'7 than is afforded in the ensuing anecdote. On one occasion in the Supreme Court of the United States, the eloquent Irish exile, Mr. r-mmett, ant the distinguished ora tor, Mr. Pinkney, were on opposite sides in an im portant cause, and one which the Utter had much at heart In the course of his argument he travelled out of the cause to make observations, personal and extremely offensive on Air. knimett with a view probably of irritating and weakening his reply. Mr. Emmett sat quiet and endured it all. it seem ed to have sharpened his intellect, without having irritated his temper. When the argument was through, he said, " perhaps he ought to notice the remarks of the opposite counsel, but this was a spe cies of warfare in which he had the good fortune to have little experience, and one in. which he never dealt He was willing his learned opponent should have all the advantage he promised himself from the display of his talents in this way. When he came to this country he was a stranger, and was happy to say, that from the Bar generally and the Court uni versally, he had experienced nothing but politeness, fJ 1 T t , l . 1 . , ana even Kinancss. ne oenevea ine uouri wouiu do him the justice to say, that he had said or done nothing in this cause to merit different treatment He had always been accustomed to admire and even reverence the learning and eloquence of Mr. Pink ney, and he was the last man from whom heshoojd have expected personal observations of the sort the Court had just witnessed. He hod been in early life taught hg the highest authority, not to return railing tor railiug. He would only say that he had been informed that the learned gentleman had filled the highest office his country could bestow at the Court of St James. He was very sure he hod not learned his breeding in that school. "The Court ami the Bar were delighted: for Mr. Pinkney was apt to be occasionally a little too overbearing. When we take into consideration the merit of resistance against the natural impulse of a warm Irish temperament, we must admire still more the manner adopted by Mr. Emmett Mr. Pinkney, as we gather from Wheaton'sLifeWthat gentleman, afterwards tendered the most ample and generous apology. " The manner," said he, " in which Mr. Emmett has replied, reproaches nio by its forbear ance and urbanity, and could not fail to hasten the repentance, which reflection elone would have pro duced, and which I am glad to have so public an oc casion of avowing. I offer him a gratuitous and cheerful atonement ; cheerful, because it puts me to rights with myself, and because it is tendered not to ignorance and presumption, but to the highest worth, intellect and morals, enhanced by such eloquence as few may nope to equal ; to an interesting stranger whom adversity has tried, and affliction struck se verely to the,heart ; to an exile whom any country might be proud to receive, and every man of n gen erous temper would be ashamed to offend." Now, a bitter retort from Mr. Emmett, in the first place, might have engendered enmity in the breasts of these two great men, which would have expired only with their lives." ICE AND WINE. Gen. James Tallmndge, in the Farewell Address before the American Institute, said : " While England is contending for wealth in the field of commercial enterprise, what is America do ing? She is exporting ice; the East and West In dies, with the Southern portion of our own land, claim a share of this product of nature. Many cities in Europe and some in Asia, ore filled with carts la belled ' American Ice.' The income of the present year resulting from the trade in ice alone,' is more than the vine trade of Bordeaux and, considering the article without capital, and the tonnage of the vessels employed for its shipment, it opens to our country a better anl more profitable trade than the whole wine trade in Europe." . AN AMERICAN MOTHER. The following touching tribute we extract from the Philadelphia "North American": Ah American Matron. A correspondent of the Richmond Enquirer states, it was his sad duty to inform the widowed mother" of the late Lieut Wm. T. Burwell, of the death of her youngest and darling son, whp was killed on the 9th September in the bat tle of El Molino del Rey. He says h,e " told his mo ther he was dead, and that he had fallen in buttle IS ot a tear fell from hex eyes not a sigh escaped her. ( Is he dead? Did he do his duty ? Thank God. he left no widowP were the only words she uttered." What a magnificent revelation of woman's heart is this. How perfectly free from selfishness the last thought, "thank God, he left no widow !" the ago ny of that sundered tie which she herself had felt being in her estimation more poignant than the sad tidings which bereft her of-a sou. Glorious wife, loving mother, American woman may the Com forter protect thee, and Bend balm to thy aching heart ! , Rail Road Cosvairno. A Rail Road Conven tion is -to be holden to-day t Atalanta, Go. There will be delegates' from North and South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee,-Alabama, and perhaps other States. The object of the meeting is to take into consideration the condition of Internal Improvements in the South and South West, and to givo them a fresh impulse Gen. Alexander McRae and Mr. Henry Nutt will be in attendance as delegates from the town of Wilmington, they having been appoint ed by the authorities thereof, In compliance with an invitation from a committee of arrangements for the Convention. Wilmington Chronicle, EDITOR'S CORRESPONDENCE. t&nH ' Nsw York, Nov. -33 18471 : The Raleigh" Standard and its Calummts-Walkef end his Shinplasteri Polk and his Apologistsu Accident yesterday, put me in possession of your amiable Locofoco contemporary the "Standard of V ednesclar last in which I perceive its Editor takes your humble correspondent to task for uttering, in one of his recent letters to the " Kezister." . certain plain truths about the Secretary of the Treasury rations here, in Walb street; What 1 said about the gentleman, in the paragraph which has so ex cited the Democratic ire of your very patriotic neighbor, is strictly true, namely, that he, the Sec retaryj came on to New York, a short time since) to endeavor to effect another loan, but, as 1 predicted, his effort was unsuccessful." The Standard also in dignantly appeals to the Whigs of North Carolina, whether they look upon the M financial Minister of our Government as a bird of evil omen," and fur ther, whether they, that is, the Whigs of North Carolina; are prepared to say with our capitalists, when he wants funds to facilitate the subjugation -of Mexico, "you won't get any here." Now, the Brokers in Wall street are not all Whigs; and if capitalists there refuse to risk their funds in such a dubious investment as Sir Robert Walker's Treasu ry Notes, (selling now at below par, in the market.) it ill becomes him to berate them for so doing. Stock-brokers and stock-jobbers are the shrewdest men in the world, and, from the nature of their call ing, are supposed to know somewhat better than those to whom he appeals, to what extent it is safe for monied me J to entrust their funds in the keep ing of such customers as Mr. Walker, who, I repeat, is now-a-days looked upon as a " bird of evil omen," whenever he makes his appearance in Wall street. It's an old saying, that "figures don't lie," and the best evidence of the mistrust with which his opera tions are regarded, as well as the comparative worth lessuess of his Government shinplaster?, the Editor of the Standard will find in the quotations of the sales daily made at the Stock Exchange. In the. New York papers, he will find that Treasury Notes area "drug" in the market, and will sell only at 19 per cent, with yet a downward tendency. So much for the " bird of evil omen," and hi apologist and advocate of the Standard, who in true Loco Foco style, denounces as-traitors and allies of the enemy, those of our capitalists who do not see fit to loan . . ' . ... . i ill l . their money at u positive loss, in aiu oi an m-ucgui.-ten, bloody and expensive War ! The Standard tninks that tlie getters-up or tne Mexican War can, with an easy conscience, say Amen before their Maker, to the prayers of grati tude everywhere ascending to Heaven for the victo ries we have gained. Possibly ! xThe man, or the men, unprincipled and reckless enough wautonly to break the peace of two vast Republics, regardless alike of any moral consideration and the dictates of a Statesman-like prudence, will not ncsitaie at any enormity; yet nevertheless, if the miserable and mismiided" authors of this War, sensible of the blood they have caused to flow of the many widow ed hearts they have created of the untold misery thev have infused into many a desolate home of the deep, lasting and embittered hate they have stirred up between two races, that -but for them might have been fraternal if, we repeat, sensible of all these and a thousand otner crimes, me men who have perpetrated them can freely thank God for victory, then we are at a loss to conceive wny the poet made Macbeth's Amen stick in his throat when ha, steeped with blood and murder, endeavor ed to pronounce it The Thane of Cawdor, how ever, was himself, in the end. the victim of his own crimes ; but in our day, and in this case, the victims are the innocent instruments of the wrong doers. The Standard says 'ithe War received the sanc tion of all the deportments of our Government" a monstrous untruth, and one too notorious to render any refutation necessary. Did it receive the delibe rate sanction of the House of Representatives? And how was Polk's declaration that " war existed " re ceived iu the other branch of Congress? Members voted men and fiaoney, to be sure, to rescue our gal lant Army in peril on the Rio Grande invaders, by virtue of the command of James K. Polk but that vote, in many instances, was accompanied by a Protest ; and when subsequent events substantiated the War, the Executive, on his own authority and responsibility had invoked, those whom the Man dard, in conjunction with the whole Loco Foco Press in the land, denominates lories and lnutors, at home, were the first to lay down their lives for their country. Our brave Whig Generals have nobly vindicated Whig principles, in makipg no discrimi nation between their country and its Government, no matter how bad that Government may be T. Mr. Clay's Lexington Speech has earned for hint, too, the stigma of Traitor, and as " Old Rough and Ready" declares that, had he voted at all, at the lost Presidential Election, it would have been for his bosom friend and political favorite, the "Farmer of Ashland," we must next expect to hear General Taylor, who has earned se much honor for the American name, branded as,a Tory and a Mexican, by every Loco Foco seven-by-nine bantling that takes its cue from the venerable organ-grinder at Washington: We are prepared, now, for anything in the way of malevolent misrepresentation, that these villifiers may utter. While on this subject, it may not be amiss to set the Standard Editor right, in the matter of our re cent Whig trinmph in this State, in which he is evidently much in the dark. The "Wilmot Provi so" undoubtedly aided to swell the Whig majority in New York, but? nevertheless, it is easily proven that without that issue, still a Whig victory was inevitable. The Herkimer C6nvention did not get up a Ticket distinct from that ''regularly" nomi nated by the Loco Foco Convention at Syracuse, and hence there was in sober troth no essential di vision in the party. Hunger onL, the Loco Foco Candidate for Comptroller, voted for tte JVilmot Proviso in Congress, but the majority against him is 30.000 ! ! Truly, this doesn't look much like the '; saving qualities" of the Wilmot Proviso, in the State of New York. The Standard too, is evident ly ignorant of the fact, that the legitimate father of the "bantling-' Wilmot, a "red hot" Pennsylvania Loco Foco a week or so before the Election, tra versed the State, enforcing, in stump Speeches, the adoption of the principles laid down in it So, the Standard will see, that the greatest sticklers for the Proviso arc getting to be those of its own feather! But the deep disgust everywhere, in these regions, manifesting itself against the recklessness of Polk ism particularly, and sham, shifting, falsehood-uttering Locofocoism generally, was the main incen tive thAt prompted the People to administer to both of the absurdities so merciless a flogging. The Wil mot Proviso was only an auxiliary. R. " A young man named Robinson, Clerk of Samuel Slater & Son, of Webster, Mass.,' was rob bed lost week at the Norwich Railroad Depot in Worcester, of a package containing one thousand five hundred dollars, all iu small bills under ten dollars, upon the North American Bank, Provi dence ' Mr- Robinson deposited the package con taining the money in the side-pocket of his great coat He had just arrived inthe Cars of the Pro vidence and Worcester Railroad, and had kept his hand upon tho money during the whole journey.

J. L. K. REEVES. Adjutant M. A. AWUL STEAMBOAT DISASTJER. A Telegraphic despatch to the Philadelphia In quirer, dated at Louisville, on Monday night, says: The Steamboat Carolinian, from Pittsburg bound to Pearl River, burst, her boilers on Friday last, when near Shawneetown. Mr. Peacock, of Pitts burg, who was a passenger on board, was instantly killed and four of the deck hands were badly scal ded, one of whom died subsequently it also falls to my task, to narrate a stul more dreadful accident than the above Early on Thurs day morning last, the Steamboat' Tempestj bound down the River, ftnd the Talisman, from Cincinnati Lor sst Eouis, came into collision about ten miles below Cape Girardeau, on the Upper Mississippi by which the Talisman was so much injured that she sank immediately in deep water. The total number of passengers that were carried down with the sinking boat is estimated at forty, but some say the loss is still greater. The ladies, and the o ther passengers rescued, lost, every thing, escaping in their night clothes, and in that condition were taken to Cape Girardeau on board the Tempest. Uy Mr. Clay, having been made the subject of much abuse, as of yore, on account of his late Speech at Lexington, even before it is published, the " Rich' mond Whig" very properly says " For one, we say explicitly, that while our admi ration of the Patriot Sage of Ashland has abated not " one jot or tittle," we have desired, and do still de sire, for his own sake- certainly not for that of the country that his last years might be passed in the tranquility of retirement, and that he might not ex pose himself, by again appearing before his country men for their suffrages, to the repetition of those vile slanders of which he has been more than once already the victim. We have desired it, because the Presidency, although it may give a transient no toriety to some men, whose names, but for their, ac cidental elevation to that high office, would never find a place on the historic page, "cannot add. a cu bit to his stature," or secure for him a more conspic uous and honorable position in the annals of his country and of his race. We are not aware that Mr. Clay himself has the slightest desire again to enter the arena of political strife, as a candidate for the Presidency, nor, if such were the wish of the party of which he has been" well said to be the "em bodiment," do we know that he would consent to the use of his name. But whether he would or not, his opinions upon the great questions of the da ought to be deliberately and candidly discussed and weigh ed, without reference to his future aspirations, or to the probability of their gratification. If his views of public policy are in themselves sound if they commend thomselves to the sober judgment of the country, as in the main compatible with her higher interests aiftl honor and if in the opposite policy, we see nothing but present difficulty and future dan ger1 we submit, that no hypothetical ascription to, him of mterested motives should be permitted to di minish their influence, or to array against them the hostility so artfully invoked against their author1 A DEATH FROM JOY. The New York correspondent of the "Philadel phia Inquirer,-" records the following result of sud den and unexpected joy, which occurred on Satur day: - A poor German emigrant, Who left the home of his fathers, and all the associations of a long life, to seek the new world with the view of bettering, his fortune, actually was unable to bear the shock of seeing a well-beloved brother. The moment his eyes fell on his countenance, his frame was convuls ed he swooned with joy sunk and died. That fond and devoted heart has ceased to beat, and its possessor has trt las? found quietude in that place where the wicked cease from troubling, and where the weary are at rest EXECUTION OF THE TRAITORS. Mr. Kendall, in a letter doted Mexico, Oct. 15, thus nllfides to the execution of Riley's traitors : "Some of the Mexican writers are abusing Gen. Scott, singling out for their special animadversion the hanging of the deserters at Mixcoac. They call the act inhuman, sawxge, worse than barbarous an indelible stain upon the name of Gen. 3. and upon the fair escutcheon of bis country.
