It is worthy of remark that, whilst Gen
HARRISON has run ahead Of his friends in
all the local elections, and been stronger
than his party, Mr.. VAN buren, does not
keep up with the strength of his. In the
New York election, Gen. HARRsoN's ma.
iority will be much greater than SEwARD's
and Mr.. VAN BuREN's vote less than that
Of the Loco Foco candidate for the office
Of Governor. In the city, the vote for the
Van Buren, Electoral Ticket is much less
than that cast for the loco candidates for
Congress. In Undertook, even, it is the
same.
One would think it would be hard to
beat john DAVIS in Massachusetts, who
beats MnRroN $4,000 aud vet HARRISON S
majority in the Stale is nearly two thou
sand more. CoRwIS's majority over SHAN.
NON might suffice as the measure of HAIR
RIson's strength. Not so, however. His
majority viii be at least ten thousand more.
The same thing is seen in New Jersey
Maryland, Georgia, louisiana, Tennessee,
Kentucky, and Indiana.
And what a contrast to all this is pre-
sented by the fact that Mr.. VAN BUREN's
own State has gone against him by ma
iority of more than $4,000 l-FredcyickS-

SENATE.

But little new business has been
brought before the Senate during the
past week. The "yaluation BILL" in
trOduced by Mr.. Green, passed the
Senate, and is now before the other
branch Of the Legislature. The
very important resolutions of Col. Kyle
proposing to call an and cancel the State
bonds nsold and now in the possession
Of Union bank, and to prohibit the
further issuance Of the bonds Of the
bank, heretofore referred to the joint
COMMITTEES raised to examine the bank
have been returned to the Senate, and
their consideration postponed to this
day. The resolution from the
House proposing that the election of
Union bank directors shall take place
by OiDa uoce vote. remains yet undis-
posed ofuponthc table of the Senate.
The bill from the House to be en-
tilted ian. act requiring the banks Of
this state to pay specie, and for 9TH
err purposes" has occupied much Of
the time OF the Senate during the
week. The House bill has been strick-
EN- out from the enacting clause, and
an entirely new bill, having, it is true,
some OF the features Of the old bill,
engrafted upon the title. The main
feature in the bill fiom the House hol-
ding the power Of the Legislature to
repeal bank charters, and providing
upon the happening of contingencies
expressed, that the Governor should.
BY proclamation, declare the charters
Of the banks forfeited, and null and
void, has been rejected, and in place
thereof a proposition Of Mr.. Tucker
substituted, providing that the procla-
nation of the Governor be addressed
to the district attorneysrequiFing them
to proceed by writ Of quo sDGTanto in
the courts against such banks as he
may think have violated their charters.
Upon the proposition of Mr.. Tuck
er much discussion took place. The
Senate was repeatedly addressed by
Messrs. Marshall and Tucker, the lat
ter in defence of the measure and
the former in opposition there
to. Messrs. Walton, Kyle and Miller
also addressed the Senate in oppo-
sition to the proposed proceedings
against the banks in the Courts. On
Tuesday the bill passed tots engross-
ment.

posing that the Legislature adjourn on

A true statement of the recent difficulty
between Mr.. Clay and Mr.. Walker. as
extracted by US from the Globe.-Mis.
sissippian.
Mr.. Clay first denounced and ridiculed
Gen. jackson and Mr.. Van Buren,. Mr.
Walker defended them and rebuked the
spirit Of carlcaturing in the Senate. Mr.
Clay then INDUCED in a long and vulgar
sneerat Mr.. Walkers size; Mr.. Walker
rstorted by severe insult. Mr.. Clay
threatened to hold him personally respon-
slble; Mr.. Walker promptly agrded to &C.
cept his call, and then Mr.. Clay changes
his position, assumes the position Of de.
fence, and says he win accept call from
Mr.. Walker--a position under all the cir,
cumstances, most truly ridiculous. Mr.
Clay has heretofore repeatedly assailed
Mr.. Walker, when defending the interests
Of Mississippi on the land and pre- emption
questians, but the Senator from Mississip-
pi has, on every occasion, as on this, main
tanned the dignity ofthe elevated station
he occupies.
