~ "Pcndeion' is from a source entitled to
high degree Of respect and attention. We
entirely concur in the sentiments which 1t
contains, in relation 20 the gentleman, whom
the author commends TO the consideration o.
the public. No individual in this section o.
the country possesses a m,re enviable STAN
ding, than Nh. GEoEGE X. CLAYTON, OF THIS
place, wherever his acquaintance extends; and
if it should be determined by the Wing con
vention at Jackson, to nominate a candidate
for Governor from their own ranks, there is
no one who could better promote the interests
Of his party BY the exemplary purity Of bis
life and by the strength and variety ofhis men,
tai endoWments. As Mr.. Clayton has never
been in public lie in this State, he is but little
kn1wn beyond The range Of lis associations;
this circumstance renders it proper that we
should take this notice Of The suggeationof
his name for the Grbernatorial Office Of The
State.

Mr.. Webster The New York
Commercial Advertiser, paper, which
tits understood, has Mt. Webster's
entire confidence, says:
Mr.. Secretary Webster will not,
as he had intended 10 do, leave the
Cabinet to-day, it being desirable on all
hands that he should remain until the
matter Of The chinese mission isseuled.
Il is expected that the steamer due
the middle OF this week will bring ad
vices from Mr. Everett, announcing
bis decision as to the acceptance ofthal
mission. Should he accept it would
be we'll for Mr.. Webster to prepare
his instructions; and should be not &C

THE ELECTIONS.

III LAALO AO4NDs
The returns continue 10 give testi-
mony Of the increase OF the Wing
power il Virginia, and afford an earn
est OF what The Old dominion can do
and ioiH do on an other trial ofs,rength.
IL we have not cprried tho House Of
Delegates al this election, Gas we
are inclined to believe we have nol,)
we have succeeded in electing such a
minority as will bold the Locos I'M
easy enough. This state Of things is
preferable to a majority in the House,
and to satisfy our Locofoco friends
that we speak with sincerity, we will
give our reason for the opinion. Ia
the Senate the Wings are in a minor
ity, and their measures in the House
did they have a majority, would eth
er be destroyed or MANNED in the
Senate, while they would be saddled
with the responsibility for every mis-
chevious or unpopular act. In the
present state Of affairs the response
bility rests on the shoulders Of the Lo-
cos, while the Wings have strength
enough TO make them behave with toll
srable decency, and keep their des-
truelive propensities under some con-
troll. Next Spring, we repeat, the
Old Donlion will stand forth complate-
y idisenthralled from Loco Foco do
minion.

"Mr Clay and his MYRMID1Ns"-R. ENG
Such il tho epithet applied N tho
Wings Of this country, by the print,
which claims for itself il not exclusive
decency, at least to be the very pink
Of good manuers-and which ever
and anon very gravely lectures its con-
temporaries upoI good breeding and
good morals. In one breath il con-
signs foil one half Of the American
people TO an Infamous category
. excludes Them from the pale Of gen
tiliiy, and stamps ru6iaa-the signi6-
cation attached to myfmidon in the
Dictionaries-upon their brow We
will no: enter into dIsputation about
taste with a gentleman Of so much re-
6nement--of such pure morals and so
used to good society He says the
Wings are myrmidons-and il must be
so
To ascertain its truth just make an
application Of il, and take The COM
munity OF Richmond for tie test.
Their admiration Of III. Clay" is as
general and ardent as in any other por-
tion Of the coniederacy. All classes
and all sexes, and conditions partake
in The feeling of intense admiration
FOR the great Western Statesman. Men
who have figured largely in the public
eye and who now stand conspi-
cious for their abilities and their virtues
whose integrity, public or private,
has never been impeached-and who
adorn every walk in lie, may be
found in The City Of Richmond, who
are proud to be called the friends Of
H. Clay Watkins Leigh, and Robt,
Stanard, and Chapman Johnson--to
say nothing ofthe hast Of Merchants.
Doctors, Lawyers, Clerks and Others
whose names are less known 10 uni
versal fame-are all nlyTmidoas The
learned and pious expounders, too, o.
the divine presepts Of The Gospel, who
grace this city, and bless it with iheil
prayers, are embraced in the same ca
tegory. They too, are myrmidoas

Of taste and the oracle Of truth ha:

THE NEw ORLEANS COLLECTOR.
THE EMBEzzLED TREASURY NoTEs.
The New Orleans Bulletin, Of last
Monday, says:
"The Globe reports the collector Of
customs at tbs port a delaulter to the
amount OF $50, 900. The report grows
out Of the fact that 500, 600 in Treas
ury notes (cancelled) were mailed some
time since TO the department al Wash
ington, and did not arrive. About
$4,000 ofthe notes, we learn, have been
retaken here, the marks by which they
we're cancelled having been extracted
by some chemical process"
The Tropic, Of Monday, says that
an agent Of the Treasury Department,
charged with The business Of inyestiga-
Ting the circumstances oflhe embezzle-
ment of the notes, has been in New
Orleans for the last few days, busily
engaged in probing the matter TO the
bolton, and that enough has lransplred
TO render it quite certain that the money
did not leave the city. The Tropic
adds:
THAT a pretty extensive scheme Of
rascality has been consumated. ltls
presumed that the secret rests between
the custom house aud the postoficer
and that the villainy was perpeIrated
by some person or personsl iamiliaI
with The mode Of conducting business
in both OF those establishments. Some
| light will be shed on the affair, II may
be anticipated, in the course ofthe mex
| few daYs.n
