Publisher of the Journals, for a copy of that well" printed work. We learn that he has, also, a few copies for sale. ERROR ACKNOWLEDGED. The vote given in the last " Times" was not tho vote on the Missouri Compromise, as there Btated. Tho Editor was misled by the similarity of subjects and names, and gave the vote on the passage of the Joint Resolution reported by Mr. Clay, on the 20ih Feb. .1820, for the admission of Missouri into the Union as a State, upon a certain condition which condition was tht she should amend her Constitution so as to provide that no law shall be passed in conformity thereto.by whirh any citizen of either of the States in this. Union shall be excluded Tram tho enjoyment of any of the privileges and immunities to which such citi zen is entitled under the Comtitutioh of the Uni ted States on the passage of which the Southern vote was as stated.. : - Having thus committed a mistake of an impor tant nature, wo wish it corrected a friend having pointed out the error. We find the names of the following Southern members, prominent among those who did vote for the Missouii Compromise. The vote may be found on piges 277-'.8, House Journal, first Scssioii,16'.h Congress, March 2d, 1819. ; : " The main question was then put, to wit : Will the House concur with tho Senate intheir amend ment, to add to the bill the said additional section, (is the eighth section thereof, and which is herein . before recited, prohibiting slavery north of 36 degrees, 30 minutes, and passed in the affirma tive:" Messrs. Allen, Bryan, Cannon, Cocke, of Tcnn.; Anderson, Brown, McLean, Robertson, Trimble, of Ky. Archer, Bayly, Clilbrcth, Little, Sam. Smith, Ringgold, Warfield, of Md. ; Floyd, Mercer, Nelson, of Va. ; Culpepper, Davidson, Fisher, Settle, Smith, Williams, of N. C. ; Bre vard, Lowndes, McCreary, Tucker, of S. C. ; Cuthbert, Crawford, of Geo. j Rankin, of Miss. ; Crowell, of Ala. , all Southern men, voted for the Compromise, and must, as conscientious men.have believed that Congress had the right to legislate on the subject of slavery. This vote, however, . sustains our position amply, and allows all that we desired by its production. VIRGINIA ELECTIONS. The returns indicate the defeat of the Whig party by a considerable majority. In Richmond District, SedAni, Dcm. has been elected to Con press. The course of Mr. Eotts,in thrusting him self on the parly, has proved, as we always tho't it would, tho lossof a strong Whig District. Sal- ...., ..... :llt BAMA .4nn Ul'fl ttitt imiiy la Burnt; tuts . . . ... . T . . . 1 U3 ri'-ciL-iuuu ui jjuuw n uvci lotit, aim tut; defeat of Goggin, by Powell, are also reported. II. A. Edinunson is the successor of Wt B. Troston. The election of Bayly, Dem. is consid crcd sure. Morton has beaten Pendleton in the Alexandria District, both Whigs. Gov. McDow ell is re-cIected,without opposition. In the Wheel ing District, Russell, Whig, has run very well, from tho returns wo have Been, though it is re ported that Newman is elected by upwards of 200 majority. In the Berkley District, Faulkner, Whig, runs ahead of Parker, though his defeat is re ported. Tho election being held three days, the returns come in by piecemeals, so that it is diffi cul to ascertain how tho candidates have run. In the Norfolk District, wo are induced to believe thai Millson, Bern, it elected to Congress over Walts though the race was a close one. In the Halifax District, Flournoy is believed to be elected. The Whigs Imivo doubtless lost ground in Virginia. The party lacks vigilance; they are too apt to lay down their party organization at the closo of pach election, and return to apathy from which it is hard to awaken them. This is a beselment of the Whig party in this Slate, from which they will awake some day in groat surprise, when it is loo late, to find themselves beaten. Too many Whig prints in this State, now, are crying " peace, peace, when there is no peace !" . They slumber enough,- in all conscience, when there is work to do, besides lying down to take a wund nap, oelween every election. If they wish always to win, they must always keep awake. . POSTSCRIPT. We have further news since tlie above was in type, which gon to Bhow that tlie Democrats have swept tho State. Morton, Whig, is elected, in the Alexandria District: We lelieve there is no hope of any other Whig in the CongreHsional Delegation. The Whigs have - gained some, however, in the Legislature. SPRING STYLE OF FANTALOONS. - This is described by a Philadelphia paper as follows : The hue is a cross between that of pea ioup and dirty water, with c stray toitch of the green senm of x frog pond ; aud the proud wearers ffi up and down Chesnut street like so many bull frog out on a pleasure excursion. " ' APPOINTMENT BY THE P. M. GENERAL. Wil'iaai II. Harvey,' to bo Postmaster in New born, N. C, in place Bryan, removed. .'.Q01!, FELLOW: The Locofoce papers have some groanings to make over the Postmaster in Murfrccsboro', who was removed (they say) because ho was a brother of John II. Wheeler. That teas misfortune enough, and wo deeply sympathise with him on that score but siuce, in addition, ho has lost the Post Of fice by it, we see no remedy but for the worthy ex-Postmaster, since he cannot help the accident of his birth, to have his name changed, by act of Assembly, or move elsewhere, where the famous and great name of John (which can thus blast and kill) has not yet reached if any such place he can find. Astonishing John Wheeler ! Gen eral Taylor removed a man to spite him! Good LorJy!. A NOVEL CLAIM. Mr. C. Glen Peebles, it appears, (says the Bal timore Clipper.) has liecn removed from a clerk ship in the: War Department. It seems that the chief clerk intimated to him the propriety of re signing, lie forthwith addressed a letter to tho Secretary of War, in which he set forth the novel and extravagant claim, that he is entitled to his office for life. lie says : t;I claim lrgilly, to hold a life-estate in my ap pointment, it Doing a permanent one ; or lor so long as the office exists removable only fer good cause." And he even goes so far in his pretensions, as to insist, that " if there should be no material to j employ him upon, then he could not, rightfully, be removed," An office for life, good pay, am!, no! ing to do 'faith an office of that kind would not go begging, even if wo had to take it ourselves. On receiptof this letter, the Secretary of War replied in the following laconic note : "Replying to your letter of this date, I have to state that your services as a clerk are no lungei required in this Department.-'. Your ub't servant, '-. G.W.CRAWFORD, ..-.-, Secretary of War." IT The Clarksburg Republican states that II. G. Johnson, Esq. the P, M. of that place has fur warded his resignation to Washington. Would it not be rather more consistent for cer tain Federal officers in this vicinity) who, before the election of Gen. Taylor, were in the daily hab it of declaring that he was utterly unfit for 'the Presidency laughing at the idea of his election slandering him and protesting that" his election would be a reproach on the country to also give up their offices under a mar. vho they have assert ed is totally unfit to preside over this country 1 . THE PRESENTATION BY VIRGINIA OF TDK SWORD VOTED to Gen. TAYLOR. On Wednesday last, at U o'clock, the Sword voted by tho Legislature of Vigiiiia to Ma. Gen. Tavloh, now President of tlie United States, in honor of the distinguished courage and conduct displayed by him in his victorious achievements in Mexico, was presented to him, at the Presiden tial Mansion, by a Committee of citizens of Vir ginia, appointed by the Governor for that purpose. The committee having been introduced to the President by Mr. Pkestos, Sec. of the Navy, Mr. Daniel, in behalf of tho committee, addressed the President ; who replied to the address. A SOLDIER'S CLEMENCY. Colonel Cross, a gallant veteran, having baen recently ordered to Oregon, after a long campaign abroad, preferred to resign. The National Whig says : " The subject was brought to the notice of the President, and, after due investigation, the acceptance of the Colonel's resignation was can celled, and the tender of his resignation declined." BURNING OF LA FONTAINE'S HOUSE GREAT MEETING OF " TUB PEOPLE. " MoNTitEAt., Friday,. April 27. Last night the mob burned La Fontaine's tho leader of the French party house, and then broke .1 . , r t 1 , t , 1 r j the windows of Dr. Nelsons house, and also of many others. There was a great meeting to-day, at which resolutions were passed, praying the j Home Government to recall Iionl Elgin. The speakers recommended the people to refrain from violence, and the meeting dispersed without far ther outbreak. The Parliament met to-day at the Botisecours Market House, but only to adjourn. j No business was transacted. IIakvai'.u U.NivEitsiTV, The inauguration of Jahed Si'AiiKs, as President of this institution is to take place in the latter part of June next. The commencement exeic'scs are in future to be held on the third and fourth Wednesdays of July, in stead of the fourth Wednesday in August, as has boon the practice heretofore. Something liko steam power seems to have been discovered, or at least thought of, long beforo Ful ton was born. In 1G87, Christopher Talbot, a turner, of Boston, presented a petition to Governor Andros. A passa ge from it runs thus! "Your petitioner hath found out an engine useful for turners, rope-makers, smiths, and all sort of mills, for corner sider, saw-mills and almost anything that is to be done by wheels, with sails, and, also, Inth discovered to make a boat sad against the wind and tide, with more ease and exiedition than hath been discovered hitherto, either in Eu rope or America." TEETOTALISM IN WISCONSIN. ' They have passed a law, recently, out In Wis consin, requiring all persons who would vond or retail "spirituous liquors," to give bond to the town authorities, with three sureties, in. $1000, "condi tioned to pay all damages tlie community or indi viduals may sustain by reason of such traffic; to support all paupers, widows and orphans: pay the expenses of all civil and criminal prosecution made growing out of, or justly attributable to such traf fic."' And It is made tlie duty of the tfficer hold ing the bonJ to deliver it to "any person who may claim to be injured by said traffic." If this docs not enact King Alcohol out of existence, in the good itatoof Wisconsin then we shall put down tlie monster Uttr proof. The bill passd the Senate by a vote of 10 to 3, and the Assembly 23 to 21. v' Governor cr Arkansas. The Democratic or gan of the 6th instant, published at Little Rock; (Ark.) gives tho official retumsof the vote for Gov ernor in thirty-nine counties, which sum up as fol-Imvs-: Fcr Wrtsos XWhigr S,087 Tor RoASfi (Dom.) 3,038. There are several counties yet to be beared from, so that the result is still consid ered doubtful. MORE GOLD. The men employed in improving the bed of the Rivor Rhine, at Strasbourg, have discovered some stones containing gold, silver, and some other met al, probable iron or copper. Two sextons met the ether day, one of them re marked on the increase of mortality. "Well," replied the other, "You're luckier than me, for I hav'ut buried a living soul these three weeks." The ice at Quebec, which had previously, been temporarily broken up, is noticed in the paper of the 20lh ult. as having "become again so firmly consolidated as to permit the passage of droves of cattle. ',' .;' ARRIVAL OF $20,000 'IN GOLD DUST. Boston, April 2 1 P. M. . The ship Mount Wollaston has arrived at New Bedford; from the Sandwich Islands, and brings $'20,000 in gold dust, the property of Mr. B. D. Washburn, a p".s?ceg"r, who obtained the same in one season at the dry diggings in California. A letter from Panama, of March 1 1th, . says " The railroad men are very busy the road be gins here and will terminate at Navy lliy, a safe harbor ten miles south of Chagres and it will be. built." - ,;. .'-.., . The great bridge, now in process of erection at Wheeling, Va., is progressing rapidly. The span of the bridge is 1H10 f et, and is to cost a quarter of a million nf dollars. .

As to. sheriffs,, constables; &e., he regards tlieifl as nuisances, and, says he will go fur abolishing them;, lie considers it quite anti-Democratic to grant any set of men exclusive privileges, merely to bedevil ami harass, other people about plying their debts, wl pay their own. i they never A man has started a paper in Maine, to be is sued occasionally; which is a great deal oftener, the editor says, than he will be able to get his pay for UV ' .

Selma liip. - Editors must respect themselves if they would be respected by others, and. must cease to be mere catspaws for political demagogues. . It is a toil some life, in which man is seldom compensated for his laltor. Few of the profession are selected to fill public st itions, although no persons under go more fatigue of body and mind to elevate others. Idleness was not tolerated, it seems, in olden times. : IG-t t. . Margaret Page, as a loiterer, ,ic ordered to Boston jail, "where shee may bo- sett to work for her living?. How would the young beaux and belles of the present day like such a law as the following ? In 1 tf 17, the General Court ordered, that if any young man attempted to address a., young woman without the permission of her parents,, or, they be absent, of a neighboring magistrate, he should forfeit JC5 for tire first offence, and 10 for the second. Lisa fact,- deny it who will, tin! thd nomina tion of (ion. Taylor by the Federal party was an act of superlative impudence aud inconsistency. . Vnicn. If you ivro so shocked at the Federal party's '' impudeifctT in nominating Gen'l. Taylor, we should liko to know what you think of (lie nation's impudence in electing him. Lquinille Jour.- A Mexk ah Cariuaxie. One nf the California emigrants writes as fol lows from Panama: , Yesterday, for the first time, we saw a wheeled carrage in-this city. Whatdoes your fancy imag ine this wonder was? I must tell you.- We were first startled by a thundering clatter over the pave ment, like twenty crockery stores coming fo pieces. We rushed to the balcony and beheld a pair of ox en, yoked by the horns, dragging along a part hol ding eighteen water-cans of five gallons each, the wheels made of solid mahogany, and rimmed with thin iron hoops. It was evidently new, and a nov elty among the Panamiuns, who stared at It as long as did' the Yankees. This is the only car riage iu this ctty of 6,000 inhabitants. " ','.

The character of the man gives color to the report. , , -; ; Salisbury Watchman, COMMISSION ON CLAIMS AGAINST MEXICO. The Board of Commissioners, which has been sitting for some days, appointed to adjudicate the claims of our citizens against Mexico, as provided by the late treaty, having prescribed the rules ne cessary to be observed in the presentation of claims and of testimony, has adjourned over to the first Monday of June next, for the purpose of affording claimants time to prepare their cases in accord ance therewith. The class of claims which, wo understand, will be taken up at the sitting of the Board to be held at tho time mentioned, are those which wero be fore the mixed commission appointed under treaty of 1S39, on which awards were made by the Com missi jners on the part of the United States, but which tailed tbbo finally adjudicated by the expi ration of the commission before the decisions of the umpire had bo-n renderoU Claimants will perceive by the published rules and orders that, in order to bring claims of this description before the present Board, a new memorial in each case is required to be filed. Claim not of this class, we understand, 'it is not proposed to take, up until the month of November next a delay ; ignite ne cessary to allow parties time to procure ttiuir testi mony and prepare, their cases. We understand that the office of the Commis sion which is still held in the west, wing of the City Hall, will be open dailj', during the recess of the Commission, to allow of the filing of memorials or other papers intended to be laid before the Board, and. to give claimants-, or their agents an opportunity to examine papers relating to their claims which arc in possession of the Commission. .: .'Aaf.

The gross amount of the debt of the State of Alabama is estimated at $0,207,555 : 56, from which is to be deducted the good assets orlhe Bank of the State, fri&tnfili, and the debt is reduced to "$7,(100,021 55. . The i.jfjnual interest oil this debt, pasyable in.Ne-iw,V,6rk land London, is $:t71, 507 81). HoiuQ.bf the Alabama papers propose that the State shall purchase her own bonds at tif- ty cents on the dollar, and thus pay her debt with some three million five hundred thousand dollars, while .others oppose all measures of compromise or repudiation. The Montgomery (Ala.) Journal thinks that the whole of the cotton and corn in the belt north of.tlio.D2J degree,; lias been destroyed by the last frost.:. We intend to show tip some of the no souled fellows w ho are in the habit of borrowing their neighbor's newspaper; A man who is le the habit of borrowing a newspaper because he is too penu rious to subrcnbe for one which tests cents a week, wo look npon as but little better than a thief, for be takes that which the poor edi'or has per haps spent hours in cudgelling his brains to pro duce, without (cave or license, thus defrauding him of hi just diiis. If this meets tho-eye of a bor rower let him reform and send in his bill. Albany Knickerbocker. Candidates for office in Arkansas appear to be in bad:credi! with the newspaper proprietors.
