In Indiana the Wings have undOubt~
edIy elected their Governor by about
the same majority the state gave Har-
rison in 1886. 1t is amusing TO see the
poor distracted Wings rip and tear their
shirts at this victory as they call it.
The fact is they are 80 use to being beat
that they rejoice even when they escape
defeat, without even gaining anything.
No re turns from Tennessee, Miss

THE ELECTIONS.

We have no news from Kentucky,
except, through the federal presses,
and that, previous to the closing of the
polls on Wednesday evening. They
blow largely, as is thecustom, and if tho
results are as they say, not without
cause. That the State has gone as u
sual. there is not much, if any doubt,
This will give greatjoy 10 the aboli-
tion!sts Of Ohio, and they will steel

Of course.
In Indiana we have enough 10 author.

her usual coarse. Bigger has undoub>
edly beat Howard. by a considerable
majority. We have the reported MAJ
jorites of about 80 counties, the strong

5000 ahead. The balance Of the State

We have nothing from Illinois or.

Well, the democracy of Ohio, as in
days gone by, will stand TO their arms;
aud if all the world sbrinks from The
battle field Of freedom. Obio's irwin j.
BILE corps will be left, TO teach the ne,rg

TIE CRISIS.

McsSrs. E1itors:-The time has arriv.
ed when something should be done by the
Banks, for the relief of the people of our
Stale. The low price of our great staple
the number of suits pending Throughout, the
State, the depreciation in value Of every
species Of property, together with the in
debtedness of merchants to tie Banks, 20
TO prove cnnclusivcly, that the pressure is
without parallel. When say that some
thing should be done for the relief of the
people, mean the planting interest for
if accommodation is extended to The plan
ter, il is indirectly given 10 every class Of
our citizens; and think can clearly show
that the interest Of all parties concerned
will be thus promoted. Let the banks loan
TO lanters 25 per cent of their capital,
(based upon such security as well place
their safety beyond all question: for one
and two years. This would enable them
10 prevent their property from being sac
rifced for one third of its value, and place
it in the power Of the merchants 10 pay the
banks. Whereas, if contraction continues
to be the order of the day, the banks will
finally have to shoulder the loss, besides
incurring the just ccnsure for having failed
to fulfil The intention flher establishment.
Why is it the case that the planters gen.
orally, throughout the State, arc so much
incensed against them! 1t is because
their produce is depressed to point, al
which they are not remuneraled for their
labor; and in the face Of this, have been cut
off from all accommodation, by the banks,
further than the facilities given to mcr-
chants for the purchase of their cotton and
rice. Give them to feel and sec that the
banks are identified with them, and they
will leave it with the banks 10 say, when
our Indebtedness to Europe, and the North.
will authorise them to resume payments in
specie. Let the banks hold a convention
at Columbia, on the 18Th Of Way next,
and be united as one man, for the relief of
the People 1t is 10 be regretted that some
banks in our Stale, have larger capitals
than others, as it gives them controlling
influence; but under existing circumstances,
should not excllc uneasiness, as their ac-
ton would be for their own welfare, and
the good Of The people of South Carolina.

OCCUPATION OF OREGON.

The following joint resolution was re-
Gently reported TO The Senate by Mr.. LINN,
Chairman of the Select Committee on the

Joint Resolutions to authorize tic adop-
ton Of measures for the occupation and
settlement of the Territory of Oregon.
Resolped by the Senate and House of

doned.

ries Of the United States on the Pacific
frontier ascerlained and fixed, and in the
mean time he take such measures as may
be necessary to protect the persons and
property of our citizens residing or ira.
ding in the Territory Of Oregon.
That the President of the United States
is hereby authorized to cause to be erected

been duly ratified on both parts, and the
respective ratifcations of the came have
been exchanged.
Now. therefore, be it kdown, that l.,
MARTIN VAN BUREN, President of
the United States, have caused the said
convention to be made public, 10 the end
that the same, and every clause and arti.
Gle thereof, may be observed and fulfilled
with good faith by the United States, and
the citizens thereof.
In witness Whereof have hereunto set
my hand, and caused the seal of the
United States to be fixed. Done at

VIRGINIA.

We are able to confirm 10 day to certain
extent, what was favorable in our yester-
DAVIS view of the state of things in Vir-
einia. The only remaining Senatorial dis
trict is settled according to the Richmond
Compiler in favor Of the Wings which
makes the Senate l6 to la tie. In the
House, comparing the latest returns. the
Wings have secured GS delegates-being
a majority Of 4 in that body We except
Mr. BAYLEY who is pledged both against
Rives and Harrison. We also except
Mr.. Fulton who is pledged to vote for
Democratic Senators, if his district gives
majority as it has always done, for that
party al the fall election. Without coun-
ting these two on the other side, the
the Democratic party have elected Sc
delegates, and there remain districts to
hear from which sent to the last Legisla.
ture l Whig and 5 Democrats. lflhere is
no change, the Democrats will have one
more in the next, than they had in the last
House of Delegates. The reaction in Vir
ginia proves to have been, therefore, only
a lively specimen Of Whig bIuster. The
Globe says "lhe Democratic party has a
decided majority Of The popular vote in the
state" of which we have not the least doubt.
Virginia then stands where she did before
the magnificent discovery tha: the alche-
mic elixir of life was no other than hard
cider-vouchsafed by plying fate to pro-
long the life Of outcast Federalisnl-Vir.
ginia still stands true to the Stale Rights
principles Of the Administration.

To Produce Varieties in Vegetation.
IF any one wishes to satisfy himself as to
the change he may produce in many arti-
cles of vegetation by selecting the seed
from his plants, let him this spring plant
Two rows of bush beans ,of the same sort.
Or one row preserve the earliest pods that
appear, removing all which appear after
wards. When ripe let them be gathered
and put by themselves. On the other row,
preserve those pods only which come forth
from the stocks latc--remoping all the
earlier ones. When these are ripe, also
keep them by themselves. Next spring
plant ,ow of each, side by side, and you
will be astonishcd at the difference. The
first ripened beans will be as much earlier
in bearing than the last, as was The differ
ence of time between gathering the seed
from the two rows planted this SPRING
Nor is this all; the first will be literally
bush bean, growing stiff and low, whilst
the other will send out vines and reach
quite high. The beans, too, within the
pod, as 10 size, fulness, and even color,
will dincr.-.Maiac Cultirator.

That as soon as the boundaries of the
Oregon Territory are indsputably deter
mined, one thousand acres Of land shall be
granted to every white male inhabitant of
the age of eighteen years and upwards,
who shall cultivate and use the same for
i've consecutive years, or 10 his heirs at
law, if such there be.
That the Presidents hereby authorized
10 appoint an additional Indian agent.
whose duty it shall be (under his direction
ana conlroD to superintend the interests
OF !he United States with any or every
lndlan tribe west of any agency now cs-
tablished by law.
That the sum of dollars be
appropriated out Of any money in the
Treasury, not otherwise appropriated, to
carry into effect the foregoing resolu-
tioEs.

for time left without common object.
The question of the Independent Urea.
sury was not fairly examined before the
people, as twas in other States. But we are
not now about to discuss Virginia politics.
The above observations arc sufficient to
show that the materials for calculating
the position Of Virginia, on the Presiden-
tial question are very confused, and the
result of the election decides nothing be-
yond itself. The Wings have yet battle
to fight for the vote of Virginia.

months in bills of Exchange, or certificates Of deposit
The certificates which this action was brought were

the bank was admitted and their payment was resisted on
the ground that the whole transaction Of their EMISSION
circulation and possession by the present plaintiff was
void AZ being contrary law and the statute and also
that he.e certificates had been used for snother purpose
than that for which they had been specially issued by the
Rank On the part of the plaintiff contended first
that the Bank had fraudulently and contrary to law is
aea this paper they should be allowedt set their
own fraud in defence of payment And secondly, that
after the Bank had discounted the bond they had right
to dictate any to Benedict Toilet as to how they
should dispose of the proceeds Of that discount
