HOUSE OF COJCMOJT8. SHERIFF. North Carolina right side apt -: GLORIPUS WHIG TRIUMPH. We are most happy in stating that the returns of our late Election received at this Office, and published below, leave no a loop to hang a doubt on, as regards the result. The tate has gone for HARRISON and KEFORM by a tremendous, majority. If the news from the Counties, yet to be heard from, proves as fi--orable as we have a right to expect, our majority will EIGHT. OR TEN THOUSAND ' Oar icai" , s - malnritV is Tiearlv bit thousand, and thm Vntn Tmcufe a j - - I" ; , of our heavy Whig counties in the West is yet to1 be MeH. The Legislature is safe too, in both, branches, and we shall have a majority on joint ballot, ranking from TW&IV1 x io inxi i : xwo wuig sena tors will now succeed Messrs. Brows and Strixgi, und our good Old State will be represented by men who, knowing the wishes of their constituents, will not fail to carry them out. Rejoice with us, then, Whigs of the Union ! We have fought the good fight, under a conviction that the liberties of the people are in danger, and the people have nobly rallied, to defend their bleeding Constitution, and to vindicate tteir violated rights. They will be re garded for their honesty of purpose, and firmness of aetion, by soon Witnessing better days for us all days .jof honesty and salutary legislation of honorable Ru lers and wise Councils of a sound Currency, a pros perous Commerce, and the successful prosecution of humble industry ; and enlightened enterprise. Where all have done nobly, it is not right, perhaps, (o discriminate ; but we cannot pass by the glorious ex ertions of the Whigs of Orange, Halifax, Northampton, Bertie and Robeson, without a special expression of ap probation. Grea praise is also due to all the Counties , composing Mr. Fishm's District. The only hope which our adversaries, entertained of carrying the State was based on the anticipated defection in that region. Every county, however, in the District gave a decided Whig majority, tod every one elected Whig members ! The county of Davidson gave to J4r. Fisher last sum mer 200 majority", and now, as will be seen from our Table, the Whig" majority is 939 votes. a o cc c 1 a Raleigh, Eagle Rock, Nichols', Wynne', Busbee's, Rolesville, Lynns', Upchurch's, Banks', Laws', Spikes', B.

NEWS. The complexion of our news from Kentucky and Indiana remains the same. The Whigs are carrying all before them. In Indiana H. S. Lane (Whig) has been elected a Representative to the present Congress, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Mr. Howard, (Adm.) ; ; The Indiana Journal gives the following results for members of the State Legislature of Indiana, showing very nearly a clean sweep for the Whigs : 1840.

Mr. Gales : I witnessed to-day, at our County Court, in Nashtille, a state of things calculated to alarm the most daring and fearless spirit. To what lengths will not party spirit lead meni The time has been that every attempt to interfere : with our institution of Slavery was promptly condemned by the whole South- em people as an unjustifiable act, threatening the most ruinous consequences. But, to our disgrace, it may now be said, that we are doing the very thing our selves, for which we, a few years ago, so severely ana thematized the Abolitionists of the North. They sought to get up discussion among us on the evils of Slavery, by sending their pamphlets filled with such prints and -descriptions calculated to arouse the mind to indigna tion against the supposed cruelties inflicted on the Slave. We all pronounced these papers Incendiary publica ns, and obtained through Congress, a prohibition to eir circulation by the mail ; and imposed severe pen- ties by the Legislature of our State on any person tected in distributing such. But party spirit has aped over the restraints of Congress, and bid defi- knee to our State Laws, and influenced partizans of the present dynasty to distribute a paper containing a print .nd such descriptions as to constitute it, in my opin pn, as mucn an Incendiary paper as any l nave ever SJen or heard of; I think it tends to more alarming re sults ; for the Abolition papers presented the Slave in hs degradation, entirely under the power and control of his master ; but the paper to which I allude, presents te negro not only liberated, but triumphing over the white man by becoming the purchaser of a poor Sol dier. This paper contains a print representing Gen. W. H. Harrison, as President of the United States, aving a poor one-leg Soldier, not only sold, because e is poor, but sold to a free negro. It ! also contains description of the sale of the Hon. K. Rayner to a negro, expressed in such language as is most revolting to every honorable and high minded man. Now mark the effects produced by this paper in a single case, and say if I am not justified in pronouncing it an Incendi ary paper. One of them was put into the hands of a Mr. V. about six miles from Nashville, who was fully informed of its meaning. ; He was visited by a free ne gro and one or two Slaves during last week, to whom he exhibited the print,, and explained it just as it is de scribed. A short time after, the free negro went over to a poor widow woman's, close by, and addressed him self to her and her daughter, telling them all he had just learned about the print He told them that when Gen. Harrison was elected President, all the negroes would be set free, and that all the poor white people would have to be sold.jIwaidempeaking to the widow?) you iiow you are in debt and will have to be sold, aid I will buy you, and treat you as good as James Baf Ie would ; and also made other remarks of a similar character, and went off. Nothing, if my opinion, that has happened among us for years, has afforded the Abolitionists such cause of joy as the course now pursued by the leaders of the present Administration party in this State upon the subject of Slarery. Iam astonished indeed, to find intelligent men and slave-holders too, lending their aid to these things. They seem to be so blinded by party spirit as to forget their own interest and their own safe ty. Both parties in the South ought to set their faces against every thing of this kind, and put a direct stop to all public discussion, and to the distribution of every paper relating to this dangerous subject A SOUTHERN MAN. LOOK TO IT IN TIME DELAY IS RUIN. The leading Van Buren paper in! the city of New York, the Evening Post a short time since claimed President Van Buren's " present position" to be one of "preparation for a future series af public mea sures, of which he has as yet only been able to give us an initiatory sample. IS o i final measure is yet consummated. " The year ,'1841 is pregnant with important events and consequences' and nothing has been or can now be done but to prepare for that crisis. It is tben that our glorious Constitution will under go" its hardest trial." ' j i .The people of this country Have learned from sad experience the fruits of the destructive! policy of the Administration. , 1 he overthrow of credit and busiv ness of all kinds, the reduction of the wages of labor and price of property, the Universal distress felt by all classes, the insolvency of i individuals, and the bankruptcy of the Government announce these facts in a tone not to be misunderstood. But it seems the past ruinous acts of the Adminis tration are but initiatory samples of a series of pub lic measures in preparation: We had supposed Pan dora's box emptied of its evils, and that the people might be permitted to look for a cessation of adminis tration experiments. But the pregnant events of 1S4I what are they 7 The first is the Standing Army project, which the President could not too strongly recommend; "The strong arm of physical force" is required to carry out these measures. The second is Direct Taxation, to carry on the ordinary operations of the Government rec6mmended in Congress by'lhe leaders of the party, j The third is to prostrate American Manufactures American Mechanics aid the destruction of the sys tern of free labor, as recommended by Professor Brownson a Van Bureri office holder, in the Boston Quarterly. " We say frankly, (says Professor) that : if there must always be a laboring population distinct from proprietors and employers, we regard the slave system as decidedly preferable to the system of wa ges ! Wages is a canning device of the devil for the benefit of tender consciences, who would retain all the advantages of the slave system, without the ex pense, trouble and odium of being slave holders. We really believe our NORTHERN SYSTEM OF LABOR IS MORE OPPRESSIVE and MIS CHIEVOUS TO MORALS THAN THE SOU THERN." The fourth is the OVERTHROW OF RELI GION. AND THE CHURCHj in all its forms and sectSi in accordance with the further recommendation of Professor Brownson. "The remedy," he says, is first to be sought in THE DESTRUCTION OF THE PRIESTS. The Priest is universally a ty rant, universally the enslaver of his 'brethren, and therefore, it is Christianity condemns him." There must be no class of men set apart and authorised, rich," he has paid down his health, his happiness, and; his integrity, since, as a very old author observes, " as mortar sticketh between buying and selling." Enter prize and activity in business, and a passion for holi est money getting, are good thing in the world ; and he who uses his talents and his capital in. this way b a benefactor to his race but he who does jail this fox the sake of " dying rich," is a not a wise man in any way." 5 An Affair of Honor" Vetoed A couple of gen-, tlemen, belonging to Savannah, who wanted to settle a personal difference, repaired a few days since, with their friends, to Cockspur Island, the property of tho United States, for the purpose of taking a shot at each other. The manager of the island interfered and pre vented it, inasmuch as the general orders are that w no shooting is to be done on the island," not even that of birds, and much less that of men. ! si Effects' of Habit on the Infant Mind. I trust ivo ry thing to habit ; habit upon which, in all ages, the lawgiver, as well as the schoolmaster, has mainly placed his reliance ; habit which makes every thing easy, and casts all difficulties upon the deviation from the wonted course. Make sobriety a habit and hi- temperance will be hateful and hard ; make prudence a habit and reckless profligacy will be as contrary to tho nature of the child grown an adult as the most atro cious crimes are to any of your lordships. Give a child the habit of sacredly regarding the truth of care fully respecting the property of others of scrupulous ly abstaining from all acts of improvidence which can involve him in distress, and he will just as likely think , of rushing into an element in which he cannot breathe, as of lying, orcheating, or stealing. Lord Brougham. Wedded Gifts. We learn from Vienna that Ba ren Solomon de Rothschild has just alienated property to the amount of 4,000 florins (about 400 sterling) a year, for the purpose of giving weddinir portions an nually, and forever, to four young females of irre proachable conduct and poverty, and without distinc tion of religious faith, who are to be natives of Bronn, the capital of Moravia. In the notarial act which has received the sanction of the Emperor, M. de Roth schild has named as trustee M. John Gastel, a mer chant of "Brunn, who was the first projector of railways in Austria, and has stipulated that the eldest ofthe family shall always be the succeeding trustee.. It is also stipulated that where the conditions can be real ized, preference as to the females who are. to receive the advantages of the gift is to be given to the Gastel tamily. . . ;- - r i A day of Accidents. Monday, the 27 th ultimo, will long be remembered by many in Oswego (N.-Yi) as a day of accidents.: A lad' aged about 15 years, a son of Mr. Purdy, of the village, lost his life in attempt ing to jump upon the train of cars by falling between either by law or fashion, to speak to us in the name them on the track, in which condititon the train pass of God or to be interpreters of the word of God. ed over his body, literally crushing and tearing it in pieces. A son of Mr. Peter Brewer, about 12 years old, while bathing in the river, was drowned. "j A ion of Mr. Meacham was kicked in the face by-a horse, and narrowly escaped with his fife. He is now said to be doing well. Oswego N. -Y.) Gazette. BLOOD AND CARNAGE. t Amos Kndall, in a late address to his Federal as sociates uses the following language : " Band together and prepare to march to the polls, not with arms, or knives, or clubs, to beat and butcher your fellow-citizens, but with hearts firmly resolved, The whole House last year stood Whigs 38 Van Buren 62. i From Illinois we have yet but few returns.

But to leave no doubt of his meaning, he indulges in the fol lowing threats, which he would doubtless gladly carry into effect, if he had his standing army of 200,000 : " Butshould you by listlessness and indifference suf fer the enemy to get possession of your government of its treasury and its army, you may not be able hereaf ter to place m Congress, m the Executive chair, or e- ven in your State Legislatures, representatives of your choice ; the usurpations attempted at Harrisburg may be every where successfully consummated, and your free government be at once transformed into one of usurpation and of arms. FOR THE REGISTER. ; There are few errors more to be re gretted, than that the religion of the Bible is not adapt ed to nromote human happiness. Its very sacrifices - - - have more than an adequate compensation. If it com mands us to give up self, it is only for the love of God ; if it teaches us to give up time, it gives us eternity in return ; and in doing this, it does not even diminish our happiness in time. It is a reproach to Christiani ty, that its disciples are not more uniformly cheerful and happy. The religion of the Bible is not a cheer less religion. Unhappy Christians there are, but un happy religion there is none. God grant my young friends, that you may possess an humble piety, a self- denying, laborious piety, a piety that lives above the world and walks with God. but at the same time, a cheerful, happy piety."

How powerfully does it ex cite them to teach their children betimes to look to wards Heaven and the Sun of Righteousness, and to elevate their thoughts thither, more and more on the wings of faith and love ; themselves all the while go ing before them, and encouraging them by their own example. JUDICIAL RESIGNATION. His Honor, Judge Tooxxa, has resigned his seat on the Bench, fn consequence of the impaired state of his health. Governor Dfbmi will immediately con vene hia Council, to advise on the appointment of a successor. - Th6 Cred't System. -Mr. Pettigru, of S. C, in a recent letter, thus speaks of the Credit System : The truth isour credit system is nothing of a the ory or speculation. ! It has not only stood the test of experience, but rendered the country great and pow erful. It is identified with our prosperity ; and if sub ject to occasional abuse, is not for that reason to be rejected, any more than our liberties themselves are to be given Hp, because they sometimes run into ex cess. But the men m power, unfortunately for their future fame, as well as their present prospects, are the very same who on a recent occasion perpetrated the greatest abuse of the credit system. It was by stimu lating the. State Barnes to enlarge, their accommoda tions after the removal of the deposites, that the ad ministration, of which the present incumbents are in every sense the successors, laid the foundation for im moderate issues of paper, and all the excesses that are now charged upon the system itself.

The fifth is an abolition of theldivs of regulating the transmission vf property from ' the deceased pa rent to his children as also recommended by Profes sor Brownson. He says, The hereditary descent of property is an anomaly in our American system, WHICH MUST BE REMOVED, or the system it self will be destroyed. A man shall have all he hon estly acquires so long as he himself belongs to the world in which he acquires it but his power over his property must cease with his life, and his property must then become the property of the State, to be dis posed of by some equitable law, for the use of a gene ration which takes his place. It is a great measure, and startling. The rich, and bussness community will never consent to it, and we think we know too much of human nature to believe that it will ever be effected peaceably. It will be effected only by the strong arm of physical force " These are the destructive radical'measures proposed to be consummated by the present j dynasty, in 1842 ; to which the sub-Treasury and past acts are but the entering wedge. ' " When that millenium of infidel radicalism shall arrive, all the civil and religious insti tutions shall be swept away there shall be no more labor, nor wages, nor schools nor sanctuary, nor sound of the church going bell, urging life ; and when death comes, your property if you shall have been lucky e nough to have preserved any in such a community, shall be taken away from your wife and children, and divided among the public !" And, to effect these re sults you shall have direct taxation to consume your substance, and a standing army, whose physical force is strong enough to carry out these ruinous measures. Let all, without distinction of party, pause and reflect upon these bold projects of corrupt men, and deter mine from themselves, whether they will longer lend a hand in this work of ruin by continuing these men in pnwer ? Elect Mr. Van Buren once more, and you will give your countenance to his projects, and directly assist in ushering forth his schemes and fastening them upon the people. We say again pause and reflect, while you have yet the power, peaceably to put a stop to these mad and destructive projects. Cincinnati Gaxette. Dtiitq Rich. The following lines from the U.S. Gazette, have all the eloquence of truth to recommend them : , " An active business man is a rational man, and a great blessing to the community. He keeps in grati fying exercise the talents which God has given himj which of itself is a blessing to him. He gives em ployment to the hands of industry, which is far better than giving alms to the unemployed. These are the legitimate and rational ends of acttve business pur suits and wealth getting the gratification of the ac tive powers, and the promotion of industry. But the desire of growing rich, merely to die rich, is one of the most foolish intentions which ever entered the heart of foolish man. 1 What can the praise if praise it be have to do with " the dull, cold ear of death 1" What can it profit one " when he is lower and more insen sible than the sod I" to have it sounded around, "how thick he east up ?" Experience has fully and em phatically taught the lesson, that much wealth left to heirs, is eight times but of ten, not a blessing, but a curse, its expectations beguiles and spoils the manly powers ; its possession leads to mis-judgment, excess, and final exhaustion and rain. The time will yet come, when men of wealth will be wise enough to make a gradual distribution of their ; property while living not prospective, but operativep-tbereby have an eye to the use which is made of itfand participates in the greatest enjojment that wealth is capable of giving, that of seeing it do good to others. Tbey will dismiss the foolish aspiration - of " dying rich' with the almost certain reflection that their heirs, sooner or later, win die poor. But to use borrowed, but energetic language on this subject- After hypo crites , the greatest dupes the devil has, are those who exhaust an anxious existence in the disappointment and vexations of business, and live meanly and mis erably, only to die magnificently and rich. For like the hypocrites, the only disinterested action these men can accuse themselves of is, that of serving the devil without receiving his wages; for the assumed morality of the one is not a more effectual bar to en joyment than the real avarice of the other. He that stands every day at his ledger, until he drop into the grave, may negotiate many profitable bargains ; bat he has made a single bad one indeed, that counterbal ances all the rest; for the empty j foolery of dying On the 5th inst at the house of the Hon.
