But we saw that in 1842Uhere was a general depression of mechanical and all, other pursuits, ,.we were thrown out jof employment, and you compelled . to! stop busi ness ; and we nuv see iuai uw cuuuiry is iasi, recovering us prosperity, you have sale for your fabrics, and we steady employment ; and we' 'further .see,' that if you were to fail or reduce our wages there are other establishments in the country wnere we can hnd work, whereas when you stopped business there was no jwhere for U3 to seek employment, for other manufacturers had shared your fate. We cannot deny that this happy change for the . country j and ii for us has been produced by the Whig Tariff;! and"being thus convinced of the superiority of AVhinr over Democratic measures for the good of us all, we have, determined to be Whigs henceforth and I ho employer, who was a good Whig, of 'course expressed his gratiGcation 'at their wise conclusion.

UicAmond Compiler, . , The Polk Game BadluPlaved, On Sat- urday two men drove, into PdUghkeepsie irom.the . Jbast, and announced that they were, farmers from . the (country who wanted to bet $2,000 on the election of Polk and Dallas. The news 'ran round the town, and soon a Whig came forward who happened to have $2,000 by him,, and was very, willing to waive his scruples about betting to accommodate ithese anx ious' gentlemen. But," in bfingirig the braggers to close action, it was: found that though they wanted to bet, they would ra- ther not risk so much as 82,000. i ne Whig .would 'not let them oT, but they fell to one thousand five hundred arid at last said they would only bet onet hundred dol lars ! The Whig nailed them on this, and got. the money put up. : The braggers hung round the town a couple iiof hours, evi dently ill at ease, and finally went to their Whig customer and offered! him five dol lars to leti them take backjj their money. He refused, telling them thathe was quite in earnest throughout',! and1: if .they were not they Should have done their bragging soriie where else than in Poiigkeepsie. This is a sample of a ? gocid many such scenes which have ' taken place the past week. The Polk party hereabouts, upon the nomination of. Wright,1 set up a con certed shout that NewYor was safe for Polk ! ' It will cost them soihething before they are done with it. iV. Yt Tribune.

NORTH CAROLINA. ;Much as we have always loved and venerated our dear ibid native' State, yet,' we confess, we! look bpon her now with a fondness and pride hve never felt before. Instead of beirig the! butt of jest and ridi cule instead of being scoffed at and de rided,, as the j vulgar witling was once wont to do, we hear! from every quarter the voice of adulation and praise. Instead of being jeered at as the " Rip Van Win kle of the South," she! is hailed as the " glo rious, the good j old .North State' Instead of being the land of ! tdir, pitch and tur pentine she is prbclSaitned abroad the safest, the most proriipti and one of the most active Statesiih the Union sending abroad by means of her Rivers, Rail Roads and Turnpikes1, her thousands oft the rich est and choicest staples 'of the land. So long as jwe were bound to the sluggish car of j Locb Focbism, we .vere d raggi ng . out a miserable existence unknowing and unknown." But when the light of truth began to beam in upon the minds of the people, and she began to arouse to think and act for herself ia 1 mighty Revolution ensued--the facilities i to her trade were opened- the. energies of her people were put in action4-f and, like the Lion when he bestirs himself and; shakes off the dew drops from his! mane, and proclaims him self King of the Forest, so she soon found her self in the front 'rank with the proud est of the sister States of the confederacy. And now, wherever a sou of the good old North is found.' he is nroud to proclaim f himself a son of North Carolina coming from the land of the Gaston's, the Stan ly's, and, the Yanct's. Then, say we, in the fullness of our iiearts : ii. " Hurrah ! hurrah! the old; North State forever!" ' '"i ' Raleigh Register, .News from the Oregon Emigrants. . Five men arrived at Independence, Mis souri, in the beginning of this month, bring ing intelligence from the emigrants who left last spring for : Oregon.

The emigrants had plenty, of, ba con, but were.badly off for flour irind bread stuffs, and had nothing like , a' supply to" carry them through.' Although there was plenty of flour at. the. Fortthe price being forty dollars per, barrel, j and only to . be had for cash,f they l could not procure it. Sugar and coffee was also quite scarce with them. Their teams were jaded and weak, and their cattle generally in bad condition. It rained incessantly during the first two hionths of, their journey, so that all the water courses were unusually high. They j complained greatly of the hardships and, fatigues of the trip, but en joyed good health,; and had lost only one man by death. They had divided and formed themselves rinto several parties, owing to disserisions which had taken place in sthe:, company, At was thought that they would reach Buffalo in five or six days after leaving Fort Laramie, where they hoped to lay iin a suuiciepi suppiy ui provisions to j subsist; them till j they arriv ed at their destination. , Fears .'were en tertained of their being harrassed by the Sioux.

He had called out the militia of Sabine and St. Au gustine counties, and had succeeded in capturing Walter Morman, the leader: of the "Regulators." This individual was immediately put on trial on several indict ments for treason' and murder. There? port that a pitched battle had taken place between the rival factions is also con firm ed. Sixty or eighty persons are saidj to have beep killed. The Chronicle states that such has been the turbulent and yio- lent conduct of these lawless bands for a year or two that society on the frontier was completely disorganized, and the ad joining parishes of-Louisiana kept also in a state of afarm.1 Among the outrages coriimitted it is reported that the "Regu lators" pursued one of their victims into the parish of De Soto, and murdered him within a" few miles of Mansfield. '1. Iron. Some idea of the extent of the iron manufactories of Pittsburg may ibe derived from a knowledge of the fact that upwards of one hundred and forty tons pig metal is melted here daily,' and converged into all the varieties of wrought and cast iron.
