A "WHIG" VICTORY!

Open the session Of Congress with the
fercest denunciations Of the PRESIDENT.
Resolve to "head'' bin or die Ascertain
that he cannot and will not approve Of an
increased tariff of duties, coupled with
Distribution: and then insist that it shall be
Distribution or Nottingham he shall swal-
low that pill, or that tariff, whether for
Revenue or Protection, shall be thrown
overheard. Pursue this game through an
entire session Of nine months holding the
country in suspense, playing with its in
tcrests and triiling with its hopes, and IN
dulging continually in gross abuse and
cxecration Of the President, declaring that
they will never yield to the ''onc-man
power" and to Executive dictation, and
that perish the tariff, perish all :he great
interests Of the country, perish the credit
the means and the vitality OF the treasury,
rather than that Distribution should not be
forced upon the President, and the Execu-
tive forced to except and sanction it, Fl
nally, at the last moment after threats and
Remuneration have been exhausted in vain,
finding the President innexibIe, and based
upon impregnabie ground, and not daring
to encounter the responsibility Of defeating
Revenue Tariff upon mere question Of
party feeling or pesonal hatred Of the Pres
ident, -abandon all these prctences-sur-
render Dstribution-conccde the wanton-
ness Of a cou'se which has trifed with and
postponed the Revenue bill, whilst the trea-
sury and all interests were suffering at
every pore and vote for the Tariff and no
Distribution
But, lest the weak or short-sighted should
not perceive at a glance all the delights
and glores OF your position, -procalm it
with 'thriIls of ioy!''-'' thanks, joyous
thanks!" and insist upon placing it among
the most approved of the victories Of mod
crn whiggery. And who will doubt it!

it in respectful manner-with their private repu-
tation we shall not inter ere. We cherish the
timent of one whose name is dear to the memory
of every democrat-''I is better to sustain an hon
durable political defeat, than to achieve political
triumph by dishonorable means
To canvass publicly through the medium of the
press the fitness of candidates for office is always
right and proper. The people have right to know
and understand, the qualifications of the men, whom
they are called upon to bestow their suhrages. An
honorable party warfare, where principles are
made the issue of the contest is justifiabe, and
leads the public mind to a correct understanding of
the questions of public interest, to be settled at the
polls But that party which cannot succeed in the
accomplishment of its object, without resort to
vilifcation and personal abuse, must have a cause
desperate indeed to support.

Corn CRop.-Notwihstan ding the great fears
which were entertained of an almost total failure
of the corn crop, we now have indications from al
most every section of country, that the crop will
turn out toerably well. The Albany Argus says,
that after the luxuriant harvest of other grains,
with which benefcent Providence has loaded the
fields of the husbandman has been housed, we have
the promise of prolific supply of corn" We
learn there many fields of corn in Walwor:h,
and In the western part of this county, which viii
yield an abundant harvest. Nor are the farmers
more in the vicinity of the lake shore without hope
OF a tolerable crop of corn the present season.
