Some of the Loco Foco papers in the North seem under the " impression that Messrs. Bsowx and SrnisoE have not resigned. It is stated in the "New York. Era," that they sent on their resignations, but Gov. Dud let returned them, on account of their being addressed to the Legislature instead of him. This rertort originated thus, we presume r The mail con taining the resignations in question caught fire from the sparks of thej locomotive, : and many packages were almost entirety burnt and among them, that in which these letters were. They were so much in jured, that Gov. DcDiEr returned them irr order that fresh copios might bo sent. This was instantly done by our Senators, and their resignations are "now in the archives of the State, where they will remain until the Legislature meets. I Our Senators notified the Govern or that they had retained copies of thpir letters for pub lication. Accordingly, Uhey appeared in the "Van Buren organ of this City, almost simultaneously with their receipt at the Executive Office. The object was,: evidvntly to make ja direct appeal to thepeople, and get up an excitement, under the effects f, which,, it was hoped the State might be carried for Van Buren But it was no-go. ; Thei bantling of our Senators fell till-born, and Ohj the ungratefulness of party, their former udmirprs are now, charging Messrs.

Clear, indeed, is the judgment which North Cabousa has pronounced i)n the! conduct and principles of thtise who professed econo my'to acquire power, arid practised extravagance to until ; distress and ruin have ' succeeded, who have converted, the offices and emoluments of Government! into rewards for partisan services, who have ostra-i cised public servants because 'they dared to speak out fearlessly, as their fathers ofjhe Revolution did, in relation to the "abuses and corruptions of those in pow erswho, have permitted every species of fraud to be practised, with absolute impunity, on the revenues of the coontry, who have wasted the public funds witli a profuseness, which will ultimately fix on the people an alarming and oppressive: tax, who have had the hardihood to insult the SouU by the violation of her principles in approving the reception of negro tcstimo' ny against one of her gallant sons, who had, perilled his, life in. the service of his country, those who having seized on the Pcess of , the nation, have also reached out to clutch the Sword, and in their eager ness to concentrate all power into the hand, of use mjlit, have, in the face of the admonitions of tlie iramers of the Constitution, apd the fatal experience of all countries, demanded, in a time of profound peace, an immense " Standing AastT," to be subject to the patronage and governed; by the power and ambi tion of the President ! It behooves every Waio who values the bright inheritance which has been handed down to him by his ancestors, and who feels anxious to transmit it to posterity, to bear in mind that his services are still required, and that vigilance, zeal, and promptness in exercising the elective franchise, are necessary to rescue the, country from the curse of misrule and tyranny.

This son of the Mountains-has been favoring the Virginians with specimens of his untutored eloquence. Some of his figures are very quaint and striking, and some of his illustrations exceedingly happy. Far in stance, in describing the peculations of Swahtwotjt and Prick, and their ffight to Paris, among other pun gent observations, he thus concludes : ' Now our Judasses ire conscience seared, steeled over until they are impenetrable as tlie Alpine rocks their only desire is to rob their country and get avyay as fast as possible.

Harrisox's political career opens now very much as his Tirflfiant career and scries of victories commenced at the Qattlc of Fort Meigs ia 1813. The slaughter in both-cases has been great, but the result truly glorious. He ' Is now driwngbefore- -him the combined forces of Nullification and "Locofocoim, just as he did "then the' allied armies of Proctor and Tecumseh, But "our present success is a -mere flea-bite compared -to what it will be -in the Fall when the Qkl Patriot is hiniself before the people ticpenu upon it there will then come up trOmraH quarters of the Union such" a-voice ai will drive- but from their entrenchments the whole band of spoilers. "THE HISTO RY OP THE W EST, IS HIS HI&--V TORY." y This was the high and hcnidrable compliment, em phatically applied by the present Vice President, Col R. M. Johssox, to the veteran Hero and Statesmaa, whom, flie peopls intend to place in the highest office in their gif" at the coming Election. The history of the West is the history of Habrisojt. His name is known throughout ber broad limits, as the name of her youthfol defender, her experienced and able Gen eral, her wise, prudent and honorable Counsellor. The records of the West cannot be written without the in scription of the name of Hahrison upon its brightest pages". The memoir of the last war could no more be compiled without grateful mention of the deeds of the Hero of Tippecanoe, than could a just narrative of. the Revolution be drawn up, omitting every hallowed name that then honored the nation. STATE ELECTIONS. Alabama. Tlie returns from this State are very contradictory. The Charleston Courier contains a table which gives the Whigs in the Senate, so far, .13, and the Loco Focos 20. The remaining counties will probably in crease the Loco Foco majority in the Senate. In the House the Courier gives the Whigs 50 and the Loco Focos 27. By this statement the Whigs have ; one half of the whole number in the House. Last year, the Legislature, stood : Administration 67. Whigs 33 making a gairi to the Whigs of 17. Ten more counties to be heard from. The Whigs have done nobly in this hot-bed of Locofocoism. Alabama, we think, is safe for Harrison. Illinois. The fullest returns which we have seen arc those published in the New York Journal of Commerce. They comprise the results in 67 Counties, and show that the Van Buren majority in them is 3620. The Legislature, as far as heard from, stands in the Senate 7 Whiersto 10 Van Burenitcs ; and in the House 38 Whigs and 48 Van Buremtes. I?fDIAXA. In eighty-nine counties the Whig majority is tflNE THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED and NINETY THREE ; a few eounties to hear from, only, which will probably increase the majority.

Missounij The St. Lou'i3 Republican of the 11th states that sufficient returns have been received to show tht the Van Buren party have succeeded . in electing; tkeir candidates for Governor and Congress. The Editor adds- J ; " Unless the counties to be heard from, give a very different vote from those we have returns from, e be lieve their majority will be greatly reduced from! what it was in 183S. The Locos will doubtless have a majority in the Legislature, but it is yet questionable whether their majority there will re greater, tor as great as it was at the last session. They have 'made some gains on us, and we have beaten them in ; some of their strong holds. . s The Loco Foco candidate . for the Hcujse of Commons, in Chowan County, could neithr read nor write. ; ' . KENTUCKY, , The Governor of the State of Kentucky, (Hon. C. A.

" Old Tip" will swpep Pennsylvania I have been in some of the strongest holds" of VranBureB,"and I find even theip a spirit of, and an enthusiasm in, be half of Harrison and Reform, which must effect won ders. The-gain' of Harrison is tremendous,, every where. In some of the Townships where he scarcely got a vote in 1836, he wilL in next October, get a ma jority. In many of the Van Buren Counties, he wil receive twice the number of votes he did in 1836. , - 3'he character and services of-Harrison will be irre sistible with Pennsylvanians. Hence you will find that the State elections will be but the shadow of his real strength. Thousands of those who will support th" Vai Uuren ticket in the beginning. of October, will vote for the Harrison electors on the 30th of the same month, and thousands of them will not vote at aB. Pennsylvania will give her vote for Harrison and Tyler, in defiance of the coalition recently formed be tween Van Buren and Porter. You may depend up on it. FOR THE REOISTEU. It is now placed beyond all doubt, that the " Old North State" can no longer be claimed as an adherent to.the base and corrupt party of Mr. Van Buren. She has spoken in tones of thunder, that she will no longer be the dupe of a corrupt Administration, that she will j no longer yield her support to a party whose princi i pies, if carried out, would result in the destruction of ' the Constitution, in the downfall of our liberties, and the subversion of our free institutions. She has nobly 6hown her devotion to the principles of Madison, Jef ferson, and M6nroe, by giving to the Whigs an im mense majority. Sensible that her liberties were in danger, she has arisen in the mietu f W strength, and by one gigantic effort, has completely demolished the strong holds of . Federalism, of Loco-Focoism, and Van Burenism. In doing so, she has assumed a position worthy of the high and lofty character, she acquired du ring the stormy period of the Revolution. In her in- ! fancy, first to resist oppression abroad, in her manhood she dare resist usurpation at home. Not all the favor and the patronage of the Executive not all that the paid Orators of the Administration not all that chi canery, political intrigue or cunning, could do, has de terred her from the performance of her duty. Let the YY bigs of the Union, then, rejoice in the. bright and cheering prospect before them. From Maine to Louisiana, from the Ocean to the Mississippi and the Lakes, we'have the strongest evidences of success. Connecticut, Virginia, Louisiana, Indiana, Kentucky - t rtorth i.'.rolitw. w-J A.!alma, have all spoken, and have shown their determination to stand firm to the original principles of Our Government, and to resist every at tempt on the part of ambitious Rulers to deceive and enslave them. Let their sisters profit by their example, and exert their strength in November next, and we will succeed in expelling the Prastorian bands from the Cap itol, and irv placing the Patriot Farmer of Ohio in the Presidential Chair of the Nation, to govern as a plain Democratic Republican, a plain Democratic people. Martin's Major General, Amos Kendall, has mar shalled his clans in order of battle; He has issued his orders to make " one decisive charge along the whole democratic line, and the enemy will be seen flying in every direction, like the shattered squadrons of Napole on before the troops of Wellington." Arrogant boaster ! He will find that, instead of flying " they will nobly sustain the charge as did Napoleon the shock of for mer battles." There is, in Cardinal Wolsey's Solil oquy, something applicable to the falling fortunes of Van Buren : " Farewell, a long farewell, to all my grealncss ! This is the state of man : To-day, he puts forth The tender leaves of hope ; to-morrow blossoms, And bears his blushing honors thick upon him. The third day comes a frost, a killing frost"; And when, he thinks, good easy man, fu'l surely His' greatness is; a ripening nips his root And then he v falls as I do. I have yentur'd Like little wanton boys that swim on bladders, This many sumin ers on a sea of glory But far beyond my depth. My high blown pride At length broke under me ; and now has left me Weary and old with service, to the merpy Of a rude stream, that must forever hide me." A WHIG. INDIANA. It will be recollected that it is a law of Indiana, which thoae weeping philanthropists, "Montgomery cc Hawkins of N. C. and their tender-hearted copyists io o trior States, have disembowelled from an old Statute bookt. for the purpose of exhibiting one of the most be nevolent men that ever lived as a cruel task-master, hoisting up at auction " respectable neighbor men" and " respectable neighbor women," who " from their pov erty were too poor" to pay the fines and costs conse quently upon the violation of its penal laws. U ell do the people of Indiana, whoi understand the character of the la, and who know borlh the necessity which ex isted for its enactment and its practical operation do they complain of it! Let their TEN THOUSAND MAJOllITY answer the question, refute tb,e calumny, and confound the calumniators. The people of Indi ana, by iheir Representatives passed the law--and Gen: Harrison, as Governor of the Territory, appoint ed by the President, was too Democratic o nullify the voice of the peop'e, by the arbitrary exercise of the ve to power presuming that the people's representatives were at least as well acquainted with their wants and their wishes as himself. , The people now. tell us that their old Governor only carried out their wishes-and that if the law be too harsh, they are.to blame not he.
