slowed pleasing compliment upon Mr. Howe the
WING candidate for the Senate, by giving him u
larger vote than given for any other Whig
canddate-a vote that would, we verify believe
have elected him, if mono but legal votes-given
by citizens Of the county-had been thrown into
the scale against him To us,lt appears Us though
votes or voters were "nanu Pictured to order" in
certain towns IN that county, the least exposed to
daylight. Mr. II. deserved election from the
fact that he was not allowed to retain his seat last
year, through the agency of one two old maid
ish Wing Senators, who afraid to do what
they confessed to be right, through fear Of being
evil spoken of. Under these circumstances we are
glad to see Mr. Howe well sustained, and that
too, by voters even OF the party opposed to him.
There can be no doubt, we think, but that major
ity Of the resident U0tors of Essex believe Mr. Howe
aud his friends stood upon tho RICH, ground last
year. Purge the polls and he would now have the
majority.

The prospect of any change in the character OF the
Stock market has been much overshadowed by the re-
fusal Of Congress- under the influence OF faction, 10
ppropriate the proceeds of the public lands TO the re-
demption of the loan which must be contracted 10 meet
the necessities of the Federal Government. That loan
coming upon the market without any specific fund for
its redemption, will be of discredt that Will
crush all alike. No stocks can sustain themselves
while the Federal Government is in dlscred't
The loan of the Extra Session has no, been negotiated
because there set apart for It's redemption
The Treasury at a heavy discount because OF
the mprobability of their being promptly redeemed
The only manner in which they sustained at all, IS
by the demand for duties In this disastrous state of
things party faction has far predominaied IN the ma
,onal Congress, to decided vote against APP
propriatinp any thing for the redemption of the debts
epared be created This can proceed from no other
motive than that Of determination to disgrace the Go
vernment order TO reach the popularity of it's e1ecu-
tive AT the Extra Session the power of Mr. Clay was
acknowledged by all, and on his nod alone depended
the action of Congress. He prevented debate, and
forced through measures by the sole exercise of his
will Those measures were all approved by the Exc
cutive and became laws, with the exception Of n most
inioutous Bank BILL which the President, by the mere
exercise Of common honesty, vetoed At The present
session how has that power of MIR Clay, which so
omnipolent the called session, been exercised Not
openly 10 forward the prosperity of tho country but
coverlly to bring it into disgrace The people have,
however, keen perception Of the origin of evil TO
attribute il to the wrong quarter. The country must
probably remain in lis dsgracefu condition until the
people thunder through the ballot boxes TO its rescue,
and to the support of the Chief Magistrate. In the
meantime there prospect TO the farmer, the me-
chanic the merchant the capitalist, but low prices,
idleness stlgnation OF trade and depreciation of pro-
perty The experience thus acquired, will, doubtless,
cause them to purge their legislative halls of political
gamblers and nnprincipled spectators.
Taken all .7baek-The Wings of Virginia ha ve been
struggling terribly to get up little excitement about
the refusal of the Legislature TO receive their portion
of the Distribution fund. Meetings have been called
-harangues to the people made, denouncing the De-
mocras awfully, when lo President Tyler sent Mes
sage Congress urging its immediate repeal, the
Government cannot get along without it, That s
what we should call "cooler.' Thus the fool.
sh not to say wicked, Of the Harsonan E1-
ira Congress- one by one. done away. Thus are these
rampant Wings forced TO acknowledge that the policy
Of MIR Van Buren's administration the true and
safe one. Had his principles and his policy been fully
carried out we should never have all this trouble.
