MIR. MANGUM,S ELECTION.

We have been told that Mr.. Mangum's eleva
ton to the Presidency of the Senate is, in some
measure, attributable to the notice which we
have taken of him. If the caucus which nomi-
mated him thought this soothing to his feelings
indispensable, we hope he is not so nsensible TO
the ordinary feelings of humanity as not to be
grateful tous. We have more than once heard
of elevations to office originating from causes
very similar, but rarely Of any recognition re-
sulting from the good Office. If the generosity
of Mr.. Mangum's character cannot prompt him
to show his gratitude to us directly, we trust he
will assume so much of the dignity becoming his
station as not any longer to visit our sins upor
the innocent, by cutting off the Senate printing
to spite the Madsonian, which has no part o.
OF in it.

ELECTION OF MIR. MANGUM.

On Yesterday this worthy person was elected
President pro tempore of the Senate, Mr.. South
ard being too ill longer to preside. The vote
stood.-For Mangum %, against him 81, and
one blank ticket. Forty five Senators voted,
and of course % votes were required to elect a
candidate This Mr.. Mungum has been more
disreputably abusive Of the Chief Magistrate
as Senator, than the Independent newspaper
has been as political journal, or rather, as the
pretence of one. Why, the Clay men of the
Senate should have voted for Mr.. Mangum, we
can easily perceive, for in his person, he repre-
sents the very essence and quintescence of Eff
gy-Whiggery. But why any one else should
have done so, may well occasion surprise. Here,
however, may be again discovered the unhappy
influence of Caucus dispensation. 1t has been
limited that in caucus there was trial Of strength
between the hero of Lundys Lane and the Uni
versal Representative, bat that the Representa-
tive metaphysicaly of the State of Kentucky,
and logically of the Union, according to the rule
as laid down in the National Republican treatise
on the Constitution, was too much by vote or
two for the gallant General, and after capturing
some of the enemy, and driving others from the
field altogether, the Kentucky orator prevailed.
VIM S. Archer, the Virginia orator, and the
misrepresentation of an anti-Archer State by
some sixty votes in the Legislature, and by
about $4,000 majority of the popular suffrage,
proclaimed not long since that he believed the
President had not friend among the Wings on
the floor of the Senate. No matter how acute
ly this person may have felt the sentiment he
uttered, occasioned possibly by analogy in re-
hecting on his own painful position in regard to
the State of Virginia-neverlheless he came
very near the mark, it seems, in making this
assertion. Only one Wing, we believe, voted
against Mr.. Mangum, though, of course, we
do not speak by the card. 1t is said however,
and we believe, that VIM. c. Rives, Of Virgil
MIA, independent and unterrifed as he always
is, could not be induced to swallow the caucus
nomination
This election of Mr.. Mangum is intended to
operate on the Old North State. For any other
consideration, it would just as well have an
swered to have placed a balloon of sulphuric
acid gas in the chair of the President of the Sc
nate. But all this won't do. The State of
North Carolina won't be humbugged The Sc
nate had just as we'll have ordered basket of
gilt ginger bread to have been given her, as you
would toy to child. Mr.. Clay has very cool
" turned his back on Badger, &c. and the North
Carolina nomination but if his friends had any
hope for him in the old State, they have taken
the most efficient means Of destroying their
choice.

tending the death Of General Harrison, the

Midway between both parties, and minghng
intimately with each on the right and the left,
the present Executive becomes the great mode
rator and mediator of political differences. The
measures ofthe administration, its appointments,
etc. are balanced with such scrupulous regard
to the wishes Of the great masses composing the
different parties, that all moderate men, prospect
i've Of party, must, if no malign influences are
brought to bear adversely, coalesce in sustaining
the Administration. The Vetoes, the settlement
Of the Bank question, the proposed tariff for re-
venue, with incidental protection, the Exche-
quer, the suspension of the distribution of the
proceeds of the public lands, etc.. are all mea-
sures of compromise between the late contend
ing parties, and offered, as we have reason to
believe, in compliance with the wishes of " the
greatest number" however obnoxious they may
be to the leaders of both parties That they
are obnoxious to selfish and designing dem
agogues, is a sure indication that they will be
approved BY the majority Of the People. Be-
ing approved by majority Of the People, gives
power to the Administration, which the leaders
very naturally desire to retain and monopolize
themselves, and hence their opposition
Let the parties coalesce let the moderate
Wings and moderate Democrats unite in sup
port Of the Administration, and share glorious
destiny. Their march will be onward and ir-
resistible; their destiny wily be Curious. En-
bracing all the elements of honesty and patriot
ism, the welfare of the country and direction Of
the Government would be cheerfully and per-
manently reposed in their hands. The Opposi-
potent for evil Let all well-meaning Ameri-
cans, then, unite in defence of the Constitution
and for the preservation Of our Republican in
stitutions-repressing sectional jealouses, and
burying private animosities-and like band Of
brothers linked together by one com mon tie
adopt for their motto INJUSTICE TO NoNE-THI
WELFARE OF ALL-THE CONSTITUTION OF OUR
| FATHERS, INvIoLATE FOREVER Thus will inter
nal peace and prosperity reign again in oul
midst. Demagogues will no longer possess the
power to aglate and distract the country a
| pleasure. The wise and good only will posses:
the confidence of the People. Virtue and pa
triotsm will be rewarded, while proAigacy ant
ignorance will be banished from the councils o
the nation. Long, tedious, empty, and expen
sve speeches will give place to action. The
constituents of the legislators will judge their
servants by their acts. Members of Congress
will be required to explain their motives and
views at home, and at their oaom erpense
instead of consuming time and burdenins
the country with senseless harangues and un
meaning documents that are never read, and
read, not understood, and if understood, no
needed Such is the benign prospect which
circumstances have placed in the power Of tn
present novel Administration to spread befor
the country!
Will not the People avail themselves of the
opportunity thus to regenerate the suffering Re
| public?

WHEN WILL THE PEOPLE BE RE-
LEVIED?

This is grave question, and Ut rests 'oi"
Congress alone to decide ii. Here is respon-
sibility of awful magnitude, and let it be remem :
bered by those Legislators who have now, with
short interval of adjournment, been twelve
long months in session, that they have to APP
pear before that tribunal of last resort and OF
supreme power-the People--to answer to the
direct question, Haze you discharged your
obligations to the country? In the present
state of the country, what answer can they give
Are they willing to say to the People, your cries
and groans have been borne to our ears on the
wailing winds, but, though appalled, for the mo-
ment, we have talked ourselves into courage.
have drowned our remorse, and have continued
obdurale to your distresses. We acknowledge
that we have seen the country for more than a
year stretched upon a rack of misery, but when
her shrieks have pierced into our brain and We
could nol fail 10 hear and to feel her voice,
though trembling with apprehension. we have
sworn in our hearts that our hatred of the Presi-
dent, and our selfish aspirations should triumph
even over our fears, and induce US to pursue the
polite course we have marked out for ourselves,
though the country shall be blasted in torture.
Well, such is the language one would presume
that Congress would use. They have cut down
the Navy into state of complete inefficiency ;
they will do nothing for the currency; they will
pass no revenue bill; they have resolved to ad-
mix the questions of Tariff and Distribution.
and render all action this point, for the relief
of the country. abortive; they have consumed
money and time in pulling hostility to the Ad-
ministraton, in what they call reform, by adopt
ing resolutions striking at the official organ, and
Of inquiry into the fact of why this or that clerk
| has been turned out Of office, and other equally
senseless proceedings. This is certainly fl
language for these Legislators to use, but it is thu
language of madness and of despair.

RHoDEIsLAND-THE DESTRUCTIVE PRESS

KHUDE EDESTKUCI1VE PRESS.
Some of the organs of the Destructives in the
large cities are still assailing the President for
quoting the Constitution and laws in cases of

to discharge his duty in any emergency, and at
all times. These prints care nothing for the
laws. Their object is to make political capital.
