A NEW HuMnrG.

Mr. Senator Benton, one of the greatest
bulhes in Congress, has got up a new humbug
TO attract the gaze Of his parIizans and TO pa
city their craving appotiies for such like ma
,erials. II is well known to most OF our read
crs doubtless. that several Of the States have,
in their zeal to make public improvements, in
Cured enormous State debts and that tho
derangemen, in the currency aud general en-
barrassmcnt OF all kinds of business has had a
sad influence upon these state stocks and the
progress Of these great works and the result
will doubtless he, unless our public national
affairs soon assume a more stable and healthy
condition. that the credit OF some of the states
will suffer, and some of their public works
will have to be suspended In view Of these
State debts, which in the aggregate are made
to amount 10 some 100 millions of collars, Col.
Benton assumes as a fact that the opposition
to the administration intend 10 assume these
debts and create a great national debt against
the federal government, and is holding tins up
to view as an anticipated federal Wing mea-
sure. Hence, Of course, the Van Buren, dem
ocratic editors have Incorporated the mon
strous affair into their catalogue of humbugs,
and it will 90 the rounds over and over until
the next presidential election is settled. New
the Jest of the whole business is, that the
Wings have never intended nor suggested any
such negotiation with the States. The whole
matt n in relation to the assumption of these
State debts originated doubtless with the il
lus,rious Missouran Senator for the sake Of
creating eleciioneering stories. we suppose, OF
some other unknown object.

PATRIOTISM AND SPIRIT OF THE
GREEN MOUNTAIN BOYS.

The Wings OF our majestic Mountain State,
are certainly buckling on their armor in good
earnest, If they continue that enthusiastic
temper which has SO nobly manifested itself
since the last September canvass until the
presidential poll is open, the Loco Focos will
hardly find II an object to trouble themselves
about an administration ticket.
The spirit Of the Wing meetings in all parts
OF the State is evidence conclusive Of our DO
siiion in this State, backed up as they are by
the Wing Press. When the Press and the
People vie and pull with each other all together
what can resist But the People must sus-
tam the Press and the Press must support the
cause Of the People One Of the resolutions
passed at the Windsor County meeting is just

BUSINESS OLE TIE STATES.

MAssRcHusETTs.- Houses of the Leg
urc of this State have at last decided that
scus nioRros ". b. is elected Governor,
majority of one vote, for the present po-
al year. Subsequently, his Excellency, to-
>, her with Lieutenant Gov. Hull, the Wing
candidate for said office, were sworn. Lieut..
Gov. Hull having been previously elected by
the Senate.
The position of the Old Bay State is now
somewhat singular. Every branch of the Gov
ernmen, is Wing but the Gov. even the Cows
Executive Council is Wing. His con dition
therefore in every respect cannot be view
ed as very enviable, more especially when
the circumstances are adverted to which,
doubtless, gave him this trifling prcponderance
over his opponent For no candid person Of
any party will deny but that it was the tempe
rance question that prejudced a large number
of the Wings against Governor Everett, he
having signed the obnoxious fifteen gallon law
and there is now no doubt from the best infor-
nation on the subject but there are thousands
of Wings, who either neglected the poll at the
last General Election or voted for Morton-a
bad principle we admit, but we have to take
folks as they are not always as they should
be.
But it may be asked why the Wing Lieut.
Gov. was not elected by the people The
answer to this question is-that the tickets for
Governor and Lieut. Governor being together
would be very likely to be voted for together
generally as the office of Lieut. Governor is
not considered very important. Another G.
lection will doubtless s!raighten out the "Four
Fold State" and all will be right.
MIcHIGAN.-To the Legislature ofthis state,
which is now in session, the Elk Governor Ma
son, sent message. The document being

another to send message to the Legislature,

Elk Lieut.. Gov Munda had been assaulted
u an individual in the streets, and the loco TO-
cos undertook to make political stock out OF
INC Dul IL IulliS Out tlldt IL WIS mere
personal affair, not having any connection

The Wing members of the Legislature have
nominated Augustus S. Porter as a candinate
for the United States Senate, and he has been
doubtless elected ere now
PEYYsyLvASA.-This State, though worry
ing and groaning under her State embarrass-
ments and locoiocoism, we have no doubt
will ultimately throw off and get rid of hei
ponderous shackles and take rank with hei
neighbors, New York and New Jersey. She
hasn't suffered quite enough yet.

ALBANY, Jan. 81, lSlO
In the Senate, today Mr.. Verplancklreported bill
to exempt the Croton Water Works from taxation
The bill provides that all property owned by the
Corporation in Westchester county, connected with
the Croton Aoueduct except the land shall be taxed
as city property Mr.. Tompkins introduced bill to
modify your quarantine law Mr.. Verplanck seem
ed to think there was nothing especially objection
able in the bill, but he said it would probably excite
a war among the medical fraternity. By the way.
Mr. Tompkins seems to have particular fancy for
the life of politician. He says the Senate is not the
place it is cracked up to be- and he would resign, if
it were for the fuss which the democracy would
make about, it. He is fine, gentlemanly, clever
FELLOW, and the Herald never did more commend
able thing than in contributing to his election and
Phillip Homes defeat.
After the usual routine of business this morning
of which is of any public interest, except what
have above adverted to, Gen. Root took the floor,
to blow off te'rest of his steam against modern, Ar
gus, Van Buren, democracy. He began by some ge-
neral remarks about the naccuracy of stenographers
and then pounced upon Greeley with such violence
.DeO take off large portion OF his hair and turn the
rest white. He took up the Journal containing a
hasty report of his remarks yesterday, in which
there was an unfortunate typographical error, and
after rcadisg part of the report, threw it down

This, he said, was by way of DEPRESSION. He then

half he kept the numerous auditory listening in ST.
lent admiration. He spoke with all his ancient vi
gor and enthusiasm; and l have hardly ever heard
address better calculated for political effect But
suppose, after his philippe on the stenographers,
they will scarcely attempt a report.
Nothing of particular interest has been done in the
House. The members of both parties suffering
under severe attack of the cacoethes ioquend, and,

desperate effort will be made to procure the aid
of the State to the New York and Erie rail road, and
the chance of success much better than has here
tofore been considered.
The ofce-seekers thin off daily, and the Governor
breathes deeper and freer A heavy rain has carried
off most of the snow, and applicants, living off the
line of the rail road find it difficult to get here.
His Excellency driving the business of appoint
ments with great speed now. He is determined to
make finish of it, if possible, during this bad
yelling.
