The spirit Of Democracy is creeping
rapidly over the whole Union. --Southcrn
Mercury.
The editor Of the Mercury probably
mistakes flea for "the spirit Of democra-
ccy," and his own head for "theA whole I'm
ion. "--Prentice.
The Evening Post, the v. B. organ in
New York, says that it can "proye great
deal of illegal voting against the Wings"
We have no doubt of IL Nineteen-twen-
tieths of all the illegal voting in the city
was "agaiast the Whigs'"-ib.
A Mississippi paper says, that the edi-
tor ofthe Natchez Free Trader is "very
apt to take fire." If that be fact, we
wonder he did not take fire from friction
when Chancellor Quitman was rubbing
him down :, 90 tremendously with an 0aken
towel.-ib.
A violent Van Burenite wRte to us on
Saturday, abusing US for calling his party
loco focos, and bidding us ''go TO h--l."--
Really we cannot oblige him in this mat
ter. five were to do so, we should be in
The very hOt-bed ofloco foSPlsm--ib.
Mississippi has fred her gum Its ech-
oes are now careering upon the winds.
They will reach US in few days. 1.-THE
State has proved recreant, she deserves,
in the language Of her most gifted son, "to
have the elective franchise broken over
her head."-,b.
The Globe says, that "the whole admin
istration party throughout the country
must and will act as one man. We sus-
pect, that the Van Burenites throughout
the country will very soon have as little
difficulty in "acting as one man" as they
now have in thus acting iii the new.elect-
ed Senate of Connecticut. In that body,
some man" constitutes the entire party
horse foot, and dragooSs.--ib.
We say what we like.-Nathez Free
Trader.
And for saying what you like you once
got what you didn't like.--ib
A Circular, signed with the names Of
several prominent Van Buren, men, and
containing series Of the basest calum-
MES against Messrs. Prentiss and Word,
was recently scattered in immense num-
bers over the State Of Mississippi. A few
days ago, Mr.. .Prentiss, having read the
document, repaired promptly to Jackson
the capital of the State, and called upon Q
couple of the signers. The two worthless
whose chivalry is undoubtedly Of the first
order, certified, that they had nerer signed
the document al all, and, that their sigma
lures mere base forgery.-ib.
The editor of the Natchez Free Trade
used to talk loudly about Gaming people
Chancellor Quitman put an end to all hi
caning.--SOmhern Mercury.
The Chancellor put and end to his can
ing by putting a Gaming to his end.-ib.
Federalism and abolitionism are on,
and the same thing?--Advertiser.
And pray, Sir? When you we're an a
vowed federalist, were you an abolition
tSt?-ib.
A highly respectable gentleman, VIII
was recently in conversation with Gen
Jackson, and whose name is at the ser
vice Of our readers, says that the Genera
made use of this emphatical expression
sSir, in nine months from this time thu
country will be relieved from all its dit
ficulties." The Generals opinion as t
what is the matter with the country is per
fectly evident from this remark. HI
thinks, that it is in ga state of domestic
solicitude," and that 1t will be dclioered a
the proper time. We hope, that he vii
be sent for as the man-midwlie.2=ib.
RHODE ISLAND ELEcrIoN.--Whig vic
tories have at length come to be regards
by both parties as matters Of course
They excite no surprise and little remark
How different was the condition of thing
year and half ago, when the admin:
tration was in the zenith of its pride!-il
One of the loco-foco papers Of Gomez
ticut, published at Norwalk, has died sine
the election. 1t was one Of the smalle
dogs Of loco-focoism, and the presumptio
is that it barked itself to death.--ib.

IGNITION OF Loco-Focos. We have bee
kindly permitted by gentleman to see
letter which he received from Baltimore
via the whole State Of Mississippi, givin
the details Of most horrible phenomena
in the monumental city-whereby tn
democratic party in that venerable tow
have been almost annihilated. But, nc
to weary the reader, we shall let the lette
speak for itself:
Dear Sir: At meeting Of Loco-focos j

of rescuing the country at larges and N
