consisting of cotton and wool, was substituted.

who occupied at the printing tables great pro-

Excitement at Detroit.--Ata Military Ball Civ
en- at Detroit on the 22d inst, an invitation was
extended to several British officers stationed a,
Sandwich and Maiden, out Of which grew con.
siderable excitement. A large crowd gathered
at the ferry landing awaiting their arrival, and
a spirit of disorder began to be manifest. which
however, was finally quelled by the appearance,
of the police and an address TO the mob by Hor-
ace Heath. Esq The officers their arrival
were handsomely received by committee of one
Of the military companies, and the Ball, which
is said to have been splendid one, passed off
most pleasantly.

COL JAMES X. PoLK.-In the election
Of this man by the freemen of Tennessee,
our wing politicians in Mississippi have
received a whitening rebuke. Because he
voted to have the people decide who we're
our representatives in Congress, the
viols Of ,whig wrath were poured on him
without stint or measure. But the people
of Tennessee saw the part he acted: and
dare the wings say that they have not ili-
tclligcnce enough to decern, and virtue to
decide honestly on his conduct These
wings said he acted injustly to Mississip-
Pi, but dare they say that the people Of
Tennessee would support any man in Of
flee who would be guilty Of what they
nave laid TO the charge Of this distinguish.
ed man. The wings condemned him, bu,
the people supported him and gave him
tht highest Office IN their possession. Fol-
this the feds call them loco focos, sc. &c
But that is quite natural; those who de
served most Of the people and had thu
greatest share of their confidence wcr,
and are always sure Of the largest portion
Of Federal abuse.

INDIANA.-During the late canvass in
ladaaa, the wings got up little oanics in
different places, they spoke, they wrote,
they threw the report Of Wise, &C., on
defalcations among the people. The cry
Of "extravagant expendi,urcs"-ef "Leg-
Treasurers," &C., was raised--every thing
was done and said that whig ingenuity
could devise. Nothing was left undone.
They had under their control the whole
internal improvement system, the state
banks, with all their presidents, cashiers,
clerks, and directors, with the whole COM
bination Of stockholders, but all would
not do, principle triumphed over sordid in
tercst and money influence. In addition
to all this, they had FIVE candidates in the
field for the Presidency, bv which they
united al the opponents Of the administra-
ton. in the eastern and northern part
Of the state, Mr.. Clay was the candidate.
Ia the centre. south, and west, Gen. Har-
rison was the candidate. The admirers
Of Mr.. Webster supported the wing ticket
in hopes that, by sustaining the wing par
ty, he would succeed Mr.. Clay. For the
same reason, the supporters Of Goa. Scott
voted the wing ticket When all these
things are taken into consideration, it is
/ a source Of surprise to us that the Demo
Gratis cerricd the state, and routed the Of
gained wing forces by which that state
was for years Influenced, but Magma est
reritus ct prrralbit Principle has tr-
umphed--we have now five Of the seven
representatives in Congress, and strong
majority in the State Legislature-all is
safe in Indiana.

Federalism. Butfhis, 70 Us, Is not source
Of "wonder;" for whatever else may be
said cf the Wing man, none dare accuse
him Of knowing much; and If he ever
knows ,snything Of politics he must first
ualearn all that be does know. Wo will
inform the editor, however, that DaUid
Wallace, Wing, was elected more than
two years ago, Governor Of the Hoosier
state, for term Of three years; that the
wings had FIVE ofihc seven representatives
in Congress and a majority in the state
legislature. These facts we learned here
in part, and particularly in Indiana, And
we since learned that that strong hold Of
federal whigeery, the vote of which was
cast in '36, for the federal candidate for
the Presidency, Harrison; will 60, in 40,
for Van Buren,; that the conduct Of the
wings became odious to the people, and
they elected democrats to the Legislature,
and five ofthe seven congress men. Does

The NATcHIToCHEs HERALD.---This
once thoroughgoing federal paper has ar
rayed itself in opposition to a National
Bank, and for on Independent Treasury,
whose officers are responsible to the peo-
pie, instead Of soulless privileged corpora

by the wings to be so unpopular, is gain
ing friends daily, and is now one Of the
most popular measures Of finance in agita-
ton. I'm 1885 this position was introdu-
ced into Congress by Gen. Gordon, Of Vir-
GINA; 30 votes we're given in its favor,

vote will be about 100 for il, and 100 a.

A NAxE.-UntiI their principles we're
condemned by the people the federalists
gloried in their name aud would still, il il
was passport to office. But as circum-
stances rendered il necessary 10 conceal
their designs, they deemed it also neces-
sary to change their name, still retaining
the word Republican. They begun with
"Federal Republican" "National Repub-
licans," &c.
Who that will look at the course persued
by the "Republican Wings" Of our day,
and their efforts to obtain power, can fail
to recognize in them the party Of whom
Jefferson spoke in 1901 lie was able, BY
the aid Of the past to penetrate the future.
The reader who will carefully examine
the following from his pen, written more
than thirty years ago, and then scan the
conduct Of the Wing party, cannot fail to
see the ful6lment Of his predictions:
"The Federaiists know that co non,inc,
they are gone forever. Their object,
therefore, is now to return into power I'M
der some other form. Undoubtedly they
have but one means, which is to divide the
Republicans, Join the minority, and barter

no other means Of ruling the majority, will

deralists, needing their numbers also,
must also give a price, and principle is
'he coin they must pay in. Thus bastard

on the ruins of the true principles Of the

Ii is very easy to make out bsnk
statement, which shall give most flour
ishing appearance to its affairs. One
transaction, however, one fact outweighs
a hundred statements. A man may boast
Of having large SUN snug in his desk;
but should he be found raising the wind
by unusual means-should he be detect
ed paying enormous premiums for cash
or should he be detected drawing bills
upon places where he had neither mon
ey nor credit--the natural and inevitable
conclusion would be that he had been
practising deception in Boosting Of his
riches--and he would be set down as an
impostor, who was unworthy Of conf
dence.
Do the same rules Of Distinguishing
right from wrong apply to corporations
and to private Individuals We know how
farcical il is to speak Of right and wrong
as applicable to the conduct Of moneyeo
corporations, and therefore we shall come
at once TO the subject of this article

in the habit Of issuing draughts Of loSg

the ladies' and gentlemen connected with
that establishment, and their residing
