PARTY SPIRIT EXTRA.

The True American, violent Fed

in allusion 10 the celebration of the
glorious Eight of January by The peo-
pie oftiial city, says
awe can have no possible objection
10 the Jackson party inviting their idol
tn The city, under the prelext Of cele-
bratng the anniversary ofbis great ba,

This is all very well, and we admire
the hberalily oflhe True American in
allowing The people Of New Orleans TO
invite among them the very person who
was CHIFF Of those who consummaled
the even, which the "jacksOn party"
that Ir, the majority Of The people of lha'
city, take pride IN celebrating as often
as 1t cones about; bu, we cannot ad~

who has spen. his whole life IN the SER

he has been instrumental IN sending TO

the federal party in this country, who
came here in red coats TO destroy there

TENNESSEE SENATOR.

On the 18th insl., as We have just
learned by our Western exchange pa.
pers, the Legislature of Tennessee pro-
ceeded 10 The choice ofa Senator to
supply the place Of Mr.. Foster. On
the first ballot tho Hon. Filix Grundy
received Sc votes, aud Mr. Foster, the
federal candidate, majority II. 8
Mr.. Gruu. y now holds the office ol
Attorney General Of the United States,
He is man of great public experience,
an honor to his State and the nation'--
We do most sincerely hope that Mr..
Grundy will promptly accept Of the
appointment. and again let the UnloD
have the benefit of bis talents IN speeF
of more extended usefulness than can
be afforded by the position he now oc
cupies in the Government Statesman

GOOD ADVICE.

WINTER is coming, and 1t is incumbent on
the head of every family 10 devise measures tor
keeping house, and his household, as well as
himself warm and comfortable during the ap>
proaching winter. To do this, it is not only
necessary 10 look to the quantity and quality Of
the fuel in sto-e-but the doors must be listed
the windows fastened down and Calked-and
every crevice in the floor or wauscot filled.
The cold air must be excluded - until that is
done, it is folly to expect that room can be kept
warm. Indeed, in many Of our New England
dwellings, where the furniture andthe arrange
ments present an aspect Incompetence and COM
fort, it is usual in very cold weather, for the
blue looking group collected around the fire. Il
complain that their shns are roasting, while
their shoulders are freezing Currents Of all
rush in from various quarters and agues, colds
catarrhs, and rheumatisms are the order Of tht
day. Acouple ofhours at this season, will pre-
Ventwseks and months of discomfort hereafter

NAVIGATION & BUSINESS.

The Ohio Canal is still open, and
boats are hurryiug TO and fro, heavily
laden with merchandise, and the pro-
ducts ofthe soil. Business is pretty
brisk considering the Hard times, and
scarcity of money, and the ruin, of the
country, and the bank suspensions.
Our merchants complain but little, in
comparison with some of the eastern
Bags Of wind buyoed up on borrow

infested with any paper corporations.

there is not much done ingshe slippery
speculations Of the day; every thing
done, has solid foundation to res, up
on. Dover has seldom had any failures
to wilher and blast the prospects Of its
citizens, and so long as we continue "a
keep away all shiup'aster factories, sc
long will our merchants maintain thai

TRUTH IN A NUTSHELL.

"Supposing every bank charter Ia
The city was given up to-day, and the
specie IN their vaults was paid out to
the depoeitors and bill holders. And
suppose that their bills receivable were
collected, and the stock .hoders paid

Messrs. Edllorss-A communication
