Not a Locofoco among them. But The leaders OF
the administration party in New Hampshire are
the Hubbards, the Walrons, and the Crishmans,
who at that time, we're rank Federelists. Facts
like these are a singing commentary upon the un-
~blushiDg pretensions of the administration party to
be regarded as the inheritors of the Jeffersonian
principles -LynchJurg Tirginion.

DEATH OF ROBERT Y. HAYSg.-The Charleston
Patriot fthe 28th ult., announces the death of Ro-
bert Y. Hayne, formerly a Senator in Congfessf from
that State, its Governor, Maj General Of its Mill
tia, and President of the Charleston and CONNER
cial Rail Road Company. He died at Ashyille,
IN. CO on Tuesday, 23d ult., Of bilious fever, ia
the 49th year of his age.
Gen. Hayne was one Of the most remarkable
men Of our country. Whist in the Senate OF the
United States, he attained a higher reputation Than
was ever gained by a man Of the same age in the
same station. His celebrated speech in reply to
Mr.. Webster has no superior in the parliamentary
debates of our country. except the unequalled re-
joinder OF the Massachusetts Senator. Gen. II.
was as estimable in private as he was distinguished
in public life. He was, in the language Of a paper
published in Charleston, the friend and idol Of the
people without being their s~uppliant and ~hatterer.
With a zeal in the public service that knew no
abatement-an energy that no impediments could
repress-a disinterestedness the purity of which
suspicion never blemished. Gen. Hayne exhibited
a rare combination of qualities that enable the pos
SCISSOR to win public honors and wear them grace
fully.-Ban. Chron.
