u Monday next, We believe is the day ap-
pointed for an election for member of the
Council in the Dubuque district, there being a
tie vote at the general election. We were in
erroa last week, in stating that Mr.. Hemp
stead declined the race. He, Nowlin and
Collins are again in the field Hampstead is
unworthy the station, and did not dare TO try
for it, after having acted as he did while in the
Council, until it had partly been forgotten;
Nowliu acted little curious during the late
longwinded, noisy lrshmau, who, if he had
any prospec, Of being believed, would deny
his country.

that an active business is now going on in

Many years will yet aapse before the vast re.
sources Of this extended region shall be fully
developed. There are now three furnaces for

Ur The last Hawkeye is out upon Mr.. Tyler and
bats. 1t charges him with several mproprieties,
such as offering himself for sale, treachery to his
party, hypoericy, &c. and telling him how much he
is dispised by those who thought to use him as
tool, &c. With the bat it deals out not quite SO
much venom, charging it. only with hesAating and
indecision-with having lowered over contendne
parties, in contest between beasts and BIRDS await
ing the issue, before he would declare to which par
ty he belonged. 1t says that mankind have long
since learned to hate the bat, and that Mr.. Tyler is
more contemplate than it. Poor things, thew suffer
much at the hands of the Hawkcye. Had MIR. Tv-
Ter net chosen to his country, instead Of the
Wing party, he would have been considered as they
once professed to consider him, very pure man.

the tale.
nIsoRGANlzIHG SPIRIT OF WHIGERY.-fhe
Wing members of the OHIO Legislature have
resigned their seats, and thus left both Houses
without a quorum for the transaction Of BUSH
ness. The Constitution Of that Stale says
"two-,hirds Of each House shall constitute
quorum TO do business; but a smaller number
may adjourn from day TO day - The Cover
nor has no power 10 adjourn the Legislature,
except in case Of disagreement, as TO time. be-
tween the two Houses. The members who
have not resi- gned, must therefore assemble
daily until new election takes place, aud all
the important measures for which the present
extra session of The Legislature of that State
was held, be delayed for monihs--or the Leg
isla'ure must be supposed to be dissolved for
want Of q quorum
The preiex, for this dsorganizing move
ment is, that great injustice was about TO be
done TO the Wing party, by the bill providing
for the division Of the State into new Conges-
sonal districts, which had been just ordered
10 be engrossed. The Cincinnati Enquirer Of
the 18th inst gives the following as the poit-
cal complexion Ct the districts, according to
the returns of the election Of lsi0-,hit,ieen
Wing. and eight Democratic. If the last
Presidential election in that State was not
carried by fraud, now can they reasonably OBJ
ject, on party grounds, &c the bill before the
Legislature?
For this daring and reckless movement the
Ohio Wings can tnd no precedent in the lis.
tory Of the country. The principle upon which
they have acted, would, if carried out, prove
destructive Of all free government. Once es-
tablish the doctrine that it is right for a miner
ity 10 Withdraw from the legislature, whenever
a measure is proposed which does not NEE,
their entire appreciation, and there is an end Of
all legislation, unless one If the two great par.
lies in the country can command sufficiently
large majority in each Legislature to form a
quorum without HE assistance Of their oppo-
ncns.
Mr. Clay denounced in his late Lexington
speech, what lie has pleased to term the disor.
ganzing and destructive spirit Of tho Demo
cratic party, in the most bitter terms possible.
He and his supporters have claimed 10 be the
particular friends of Flaw and order" We
refer ,l:em to the action Of the Ohio Wings,
and ask if they can find an instance Of so dis
aud runous movement on the
Part of their political opponents in any Stale of
the Union. The mlduess Of despair seems 10
have taken possession Of the Wing party; and
knowing that they stand condemned before
the people for the folly and reckessness Of
their course during the past eighteen months,
they seem determined to drag down with
