Let it not be forgotten that at the coming election the General Ticket Law is to be decided upon by the people;
 That the democratic party of this state, having majority of six thou,and are entitled to represent the state;
 That this law secIres that representation;
 That by making the state unit in congress, we more cfiectually guard its interests and vndicate the doctrine of state-rights;
 That the ascendency of our party may depend upon our appreciation of this law;
 And that the doctrines embodied in it are recog- ni.ed by the federal charter; by the practice of the states in forming conventions; and by the methods the union.
 On the other hand, let it be remembered that the district law abstracts the councils of the state;
 That it divides our commonwealth into two parties, each of which may be pursuing separate and anago. nistc measures, which be detrimental to it's in- terests and destructive of it's influence at Washing ton; .sa.
 That it makes distinctions between different por- tons of the whch tend to increase the esrange- nent which already great between the northern and southern parts it;
 That under this law, the strength of parties may be situated to give to the whigs majority of our members in congress, whilst the democratic party may have an immense popular majority.
 It should be recollected that each State is per- feet sovereigntya nation in tse and that, such be ing the case is as absurd to have two distinct par ties representing it's people at Washington, as it would be for England to have at our court TWO ann bassadors-one representing the whgs of that coun- try and the other the tories. rtt.l
 The whig leaders of Alabama, have held out falsely to their friends that the State is about to repudate the long cherished principles which have prevailed among the majority of its citizens, and having no oth of misleading the public, are striving to eff. feet their purpose by slandering this measure by falsely appealing to the sympathes of all parties in regard to 1t.
 Let the people reject this law, aud they succunb to the whigs-tliey become partner in all the wing measures. They aid in the charter of National Bank-in the passage of distribution aw-the re- ception of abolition petitions. In short, they seal their own ruin, and chain themselves to the federal car which is whipping and spurrng over the necks oi the people, crushing the indgent and exalting the opulent and aristocraiic classes.

Ho,o to ksfp a Prisoner.-1he Boston Post relates ,ne a following rode of practice of the late Sampso Wood, once the Sheriff of Middesex county Mas sachuseus:
 lie often had to convey desperate prisoners from one part oi the country another, and when night came he used to iron himself hand and foot to his prisoner and go to bed, and address him thns:-
 ou can now go to sleep, if yon like, or let II alone For my part, shall go lo sleep. Yon cant go away without waking me up and carrying with you. ou have gol One arm and one leg free, SO have l. on may make ont to kill me, but if you do you II nave to carry my carcass wt you, and that will be proof enough to get you hanged for murder, you see, shall stuck to yon like death dead nggar, any way you fix il. Good night" IL is hardly necessary 10 say, that with this queer measure of precaution, no prisoner attempted 10 escape from Sampson.

The mail to-day brings Washington dates oi the 9sh.
 On the sth, Mir. Clay's bank bill was still engros- sing the attention of the senate. Mir. Walker pro- posed several amendments, with view 10 secure more publicity to the proceedings of the bank These were voted down, except which provides that mo- thing shall be kept secret from the government d- rectors, and another that any ten or more of the stockholders may at any time examine the accounts of individuals.
 The correspondent of the Charleston Mercury, sayst
 "There were some indications of rebellion in the Whig ranks to-day, you will observe by the votes on the amendments, hut stronger one was the re- fasal of Mr. Merrick several them at all He ardently supported Mir. Riyes's amendment, and is evidently very much dissatisfied at it's failure.
 ''In the House, Mir Profit offered resolution that the Select Committee on the Currency be directed to report the Senate's bill repeating the Sub-lreasuTy b soon as practicable and that it be also direct ed not to connect it with any bill which said conmit- tee may prepare for the creation of fiscal agent, or with any bIl providing for the establishment of 8 fiscal agent which may hereafter be sent to said com mittee."

 The proceedings of the Senate the 7th instant will be found in extract from the Charleston Pat riot.
 In the House, on the game day, the Loan bill was sBder discussion.
 The following are some very plausible specua- tions on the probable action of Congress.
 Probable Action ef fCoagress.-From all the indica. tIons tt may he inferred that the only action of the extra session will be providing the Ways and Means II the manner of voting the Land distribution bill m the House IS taken criterion of its fate in the Senate, 1t will be lost in that body The Southern Wings generally voted against it in the House, and as the Wing majority is small in the Senate. the probability is that the Southern Whig senators will generally unite with the Southern Democrats and destroy the bill.
 The Bank bill will probably not go to the House, for if those who voted for Mir. Rves amendment com bine with the Democrats in the State it cannot be carried. Tit reaches tbe House it win of course pass by large majority, but judging from the Presi- dent's Message 1t will receife his negative. The subject of the Tariff is too complicated to he taken up at the extra session, and the duties will re- main unaltered in all probability, until the regular session. Under these circumstances, as the net bank system is viewed with sort of horror by all sides, 1t is not unlikely that the Treasury will be con- tnued over until the regular sessien, and Congress will have adjourned without accomplishing any thing but providing for a deficiency in the Ways and Means.-Charleston Patriot.

Judge Noah.-The following, from the Courier is an anecdote characteristic of this gentleman:
 In the Court of Special Sessions, yesterday, a named John Fisher was brought up for some trifing ofence for trial. His wife, beautiful wo- man, more than seventeen years of age, appeared at the bar, with infant in her arms, as an advo- cate for her husband. She dressed plainly, and by no means in the height of fashion. Her presence, her youth, her child and her tears had softening effect upon the court Her husband was discharged and left the room. The young wife fingered behind to sob out few sentences of gratitude. Judge No- ah spoke td her few kind words, and enquired o her, are you really destitute you appear, and is that your child!" (. As there is God" replied the poor creature, it's all true. Since my husband has been in jail for trifingly offending against the dig nity of landlord, the latter, the nhuman monster has turned me and my child out of doors, and re- tains for his rent, as he claims, our little a Fol four days have subsisted R the open air, depending wholly upon the cold charity of such as chanced tl pass by betimes."
 This was more than Judge Noah could stand With his face concealed from the gaze of the speca tors to hide an evident emotion, he beckoned to the poor woman, who, she approached him, he shp. ped into her hand five dollar note which he drew from his pocket wishing her better success and hap piness hereafter. She left the court with an altered counlenance. The Judge adjusted his speclaces called the court to order and the business proceeded

TIE WHIss AND MR- yEFFERsoN.-There is no name recorded in our history which puzzles the whgs more to dispose of, than that of Mir. Jefferson Soon after his death. they began, for the first time, sG profess to honor his character and his prlncipes.
 This did not take. The people would not believe that these men had all changed to Jeaersonian De- mocrats. They then returned to their old trade of vyins him. and for years circulated every imagin- able islander upon his character and reproach upon his principles. That, too, failed of success. Now they have resorted to third course. Unable to make the people believe they democrats they have set about the attempt to prove that Jefferson was a whig aad iBank manl and this, too, in opposition to the positive declarations to the contrary contsned in his ietters This effort will fail like the others.
