 above paragraph was in Boston, (says the Atlas of Saturday,) on Monday, and declar- ed publicly that he should mo longer give his voice and vote for the Van Buren party If we mistake not, the, Van Buren party are counting without their host when they claim majority of eleven, or even six majority in the House of Representatives. As many, we are told, as one of the New York Van Buren
 Delegation will prove sound upon the Cur rency question.-N. Y. Express. . ,..e s THE WHIG TRIUMPH IN THE WEST.
 The Wings of Philadelphia are making preparations for the celebration of the late glorious Whig trinmphs in Maine, North
 Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, and India na. The celebration will take place. early this week. A ship has already been engaged to pass down the river and fire a grand sa- lute; while other suitable manifestations of public feeling.are also in preparation. The character and extent of the WRig Victories
 in the West are worthy of all the honors that can rationally be paid, to, men who have struggled nobly, zealously, and manfully against tyranny and oppression. The ex- tent of the Whig victories in Kentucky and
 Indiana is unparalleled in the history of p0- litlcal elections. It can only be fairly apr preciated when the fact is considered, that two of the American States send an ENTIRE Whig Delegation into the House of Repre- sentatives of the Congress of the United States-the two States showing Whig gain of four members in one State, and complete change of men and measures in another.-- These two States have taoenty distinct Con- greSSionGl Districts, eleren of achich sce,e LGsf gear represented by Van Buren men, and au of aOhich are noao represented by Whigs! The Whig gain of eleven in these two States, Qn- diana and Kentucky of course take t,ceuy- twO votes from Mir. Van Buren's majority ot' forzy in the last Congress. Such triumph
 is worthy of the best days of the bravest peo-
 pie and the best Republic in the history of the orld,-ibid. , :.@ Enlistment .of Van Buren Senasor.-A
 good story is told of one of tho Van Buren
 members of the Maine Senate. Arriving at Augusta, he went to the Arsenal, and claimed
 his seat He vast told he must sign his name first on the books of the establishment. He complied, and found subsequently that ke hod enlisted ia the army for seren yeGrs!
 The Election in Indiana.-The Madison
 Banner of the 16th says--The revolution has been complete. The defeat of the party has been most singularly perfect The Van Bu- ren men have been routed horse, foot, and dragons" There are not enough left to bu- ry the dead. Even the ghosts of the depart ed will scarcely dare to hover around the scene of its terrible overthrow. The edict hos C oA in the balance and found wanting" The news
 will go up to the Capitol, and there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth. But tbisisnot tithe of the troubles that are coming upon the i'll fated "Author of the Letter to Sher- rod Williams" From all parts of the Union the same voice is heard-the people are rising in their might to put down this corrupt and ruinous administration. Indiana, Kentucky, and Tennessee have been among the first to sound the knell of its departing greatness. In l840 the judgment will be pronounced, and the n1arauders who have been idefraud- ing the people for the last eight years, will be hurled from their stations and their names 1 forgotten. -ti...fe ssr<..g,s-e.
 Conuerts.-The Louisville Journal says :- "Since the close of the late elections in the
 West, the V. Buren men are fiocking to the Whig standard in immense numbers. We could mention certain persons, that would surprise the community. We arc halfafraid that our neighbor of the Advertiser will come over. To prevent that we intend to have him laid under bonds, with the very heaviest penalties" '-,,,- The happiest effect of the "erperimentt''' is the result of the Western elections, thirty out of thirty-three members of Congress being chosen there by the whigs. The country,is incidentally indebted tolthe West for the in- telligent and opportune patriotism it has dis played in its late momentous political con- test. a5ayai fs satE gss -.os | A Loose Bird Caught-A female convict in the State Prison, at Wethersfeld, by the name of Julia Ann Hull, l9 years of age, made her escape on the 18th inst.
