GTThe Doty whig papers in this Ter
ritory, are indscriminate in their abuse Of
the late Legislative Assembly held atMad-
ison. 1t should be borne in mind that the
very measures Of which these Doty presses
complain, were supported and approved by
the whig members Of the Legislature: it is
therefore evident that the wings have no
confidence in their own representatives.

insurance was $4,000, and his loss muct,
greater, and MIR. Bankers building was is
sued for $500. The fire was doubtless
the work Of an incendiary.

At this epoch, the comet made los leagues per sec
ond attained thus a velocity fifteen times greater than
the earth. So or the 9th, from "a minutes past 8
O'Clock to 80 minutes past eleven in the evening, in
this short Interval Of two hours and minutes the
comet descended under the ecliptc, and assembled a
bove it, passing its perihelon between its two nodes.
There would without doubt be- cause TO say with the
poet. that the comet has gone through wih ve'y
difficult intrigue, (neud) but these very elegant
phrases are unhappiIy excluded from astronomical
language, and the profound ignorance Of genius has
alone the right to pretend TO such liberties.
On the same day, the 81 h of February, the COM
ct presented another remarkable phenomenon, in IN
terpoeng itself between the and the earth, so as
produce sort of partial eclipse of the sun WISH
BILE upon the other hemisphere of our globe At this
period, the tail of the comet, which extended behind
it to sixty millions of leagues nearly encountered our
world; and to appreciate the danger we have run, it
is enough to say, that this cometay proongaton very
remarkable for its small breadth, had been in this di-
menson twice as large, the conclusion would have
infably taken place.

principes-such, we are proud to say, scarce in

currency already low enough) for free trade and still
greater ruin to free abor-and help us elect men

the Star won't find many Arnolds and Tylers in our
ranks now. But to be serious. Wings, in ls40,are
Wings now. Though they have been betrayed and
cheated in a manner almost beyond endurance, their
principles the same-the only principles upon
which they hope build up The prosperity the
ton. They feel this-they know it-they have been
tried and found good in times past-and when they
destroyed they ruin follow in the wake Of
their destruction. And, loving these principles, they
have stood fast to them-and beggaly few has
John Tyler carried over with him into the ocofoco

will they triumph. But with them would they rath-
fall than TO join the inviting party, possessing not
one single principle in common with republican
fathers:
