4 PRINCIPLES AND MEN.

The political contests which have taken place
during the present season have turned more
upon principles distinct, avowed, well defined
principles than any elections for many years
past In Tennessee, for instance, the Wing
candidate for Governor, and the various can
didates for Congress, Senate, Assembly, &C.,
we'd and defended the Wing political creed
as put forth by Mr.. Clay, and as understood by
every Whig in the Union. There was no dodg-
ing single queston-no evasion of any doc
trine-every one was fairly, thoroughly, and
most ably discussed before the people. So also
were all the Wing measures Of the twenty
seventh Congress- From defending sustaining,
end justifying, not for moment did the candi-
dates on the Wing side finch, or think Of finch
ing. The result is known; and if any men have
reason to be proud Of their work and proud Of
their people, those Wings who were elected to
the various posts for which they were candi-
dates in that State have. sa asRio' Y
Such a contest-one which involves the deci-
sion by the people Of great principles which are
argued before them--is a noble one, and calls
forth the best talents of State. In such con-
fict parties will not be so imprudent as to put
forward men without merit, ability, and expe-
rience, knowing if they do their cause will be
likely to suffer- perhaps be ruined, in their hands.
A political campaign thus conducted becomes a
noble moral spectacle--a conflict worthy the no
blest minds: there is no personal and disreputa-
bic clapper-clawing each other; no tearing each
others characters to pieces; no fraud and cheat
ing at the polls and in the counting Of the votes
as though all concerned were set of thieves and
pickpockets or practiced blacklegs, among whom
cheating is recognized as part Of the trade, and
The Whig standard., 1843-12-04

The Globe is evidently very much alarmed at
the prospect of losing the public printing. What
ever course the Wings may take upon the Speak
ership, we trust that they will not be accessory
to the election of Blair & Rives printers to the
House. The Globe has become an organ of per-
nicious power, and exercises most baneful in
iuence over the counsels Of the Locofoco party.
In malice vindctveness, and violence to poiti-
cal opponents, il has no equal in this country.
1t is time that its power to work further mischief
was at an end. <.fS8

ORGANIZATION OF THE OUSE--CAUCUS.
WE'LL after all the buster and big talk Of the
friends of Calhoun and Of Buchanan, they have
suffered themselves to be whipped into caucus
BY the Van Buren drill-sergeants and discipline
rians, and there they have had just as much in
fluence and weight as so many men OF straw.
We have SO often heard these Southern Hotspurs
talk yaliantly of the resistance, and the noble
stand they intended to take, upon principle, and
then seen them submit SO tamely and kindly to
the harness and whip of their masters. that we
had little confidence in their " noble resistance
to King Caucus at this time. They are remark
ably mouth-valiant, but when the crisis
comes, the meekest and most submissive men
in existence. ASouthern chivalry" has through
them become the most aughable humbug Of the
whole catalogue of humbugs.
Our readers will infer, what is the fact, that
the Calhoun and Buchanan members OF Con-
gress were forced into the caucus on Saturday
evening, much against their inclination, and that
all thought Of running a. separate and indepen-
dent candidate for Speaker, Mr.. Campbell, or
Mr.. Wilkins, for instance, is abandoned. We
learn that the caucus nominated John w. Jones
as the Locofoco candidate for Speaker, and then
adjourned, to meet again this morning. Messrs.
Campbell and Wilkins will of course be content
to be placed at the head of important commit
tees in the House, as compensation for yielding
their claims to the Speakers chair.
The rumor is,1 that some difficulty exists in
settling the claims Of the various candidates for
Clerk, and that it is not unlikely that Mr..
M'Nulty, of Ohio, may be the caucus nominee

CHANGE OF PUBLICATION.

With the view Of presenting our readers with
a more, complete report Of the proceedings Of
Congress, Though we shall only give condensed,
not detailed report,) we have thought it best
to publish our paper, during the session at least,
in the morning. In order to give anything like
satisfactory report Of the proceedings OF Con-
gress, we would be obliged to delay going to
press till four or five o'clock, in which case our
paper could not be distributed until very late
in the evening, when the public have little
inclination to take up and read a newspaper.
We hope the arrangement will be eentirely salts
factory TO our numerous readers, it being solely
for their benefit.

only wrong when found out there is no evasion
Of principles by appeals to the prejndices and
passions Of the multitude. Now this is what
we like, and what the people should in all cases,
when candidates aspire TO their favor, demand.
We hope the Presidential campaign will be thus
carried on: let there be distinct and well un-
derstood issue between the two parties made
up. Let us know what each party contends
for; wherein they agree, and wherein they dis
agree upon all the great and important questions
which have for some years past agitated the
country.
Should Mr.. Calhoun be the candidate Of the
Locofoco party, we shall know where to find
him. his principles, as at present ayowed, are
distinct and clear: he neither shrnks from their
avowal on all proper occasions, nor does he ex-
press them in such ambiguous language as to be
understood in one section Of the country in one
way, and in another section in another way.
What his opinions are, he is neither afraid nor
ashamed to declare. Not SO, however, with the
"little Magician" his opinions, if he have any,
are as changeable as the neck Of pigeon, or a
lady's mind. Ask any two Of his most intimate
friends what they are in regard to some OF the
most important measures and questions Of the
day, and they will, with equal honesty and sin
cerity answer directly the reverse to each other.
Is he for the Tariff? One says yes, the other
no. Is he for protective Tariff? The same
contrary replies will be given. Is he for q
Bank, Internal Improvement, the District Sys-
tenn, &C.? His votes speak one language, and
his responses another. There is not a great
measure Of any kind, we believe, which has ex-
cited at any time deep interest and called forth
discussion, that he has not in some way, either
by his votes, his pen, or orally, expressed opin-
ions both for and against so that his friends and
advocates can always quote him upon every such
question or measure, just as they may desire, OF
find it polite. Now, man like Mr. Calhoun
we can admire, while we may feel constrained
to oppose him. but Mr.. Van Buren, we can nei-
ther support nor admire; and even his friends,
while they adhere to and sustain him, are
obliged to confess that he has none Of those qua
lities calculated to call forth the admiration and
enthusiasm Of the people, either ignorant or in.

TYLERIsM-GovERNoR SHANNON.

TYLERISM-GOVERN SHANNON.
Undoubtedly the most important accession to
Tylerism, since the Locofoco members of the
last Congress went to Mr.. Tyler in body and
gave in their adhesion to him, and promised to
sustain him in his patriotic course Of treachery,
is the late conversion Of Governor Shannon Of
Ohio. Well may Mr.. Tyler exult, and his de-
mocratic seducers and reyilers be alarmed, at this
manifestation Of his power and influence in the
ranks of that party; which, to serve their own
selfish purposes, took him to their embrace, and
held him upto the world as pure and spotless
patriot. They loved the treason, and for the
sake Of encouraging him to pursue his course Of
peridy against the Wings hugged the traitor to
their bosom, all leprous and corrupt as he was.
He had on former occasion proved false to them,
but that they could forget and forgive since his
latest treason was likely, as they thought, to
benefit them, and injure their opponents, more
than his former had done they harm. They only
looked to immediate results, not TO the question
of right. They asked themselves only whether
they could injure their opponents and benefit
themselves; not whether such course comport-
ed with high and honorable feelings, or whether
they would not shock the moral sense of that
portion Of the community who cannot be per-,
suaded that the end in all cases justfes the
means.
Well, they took pollution to their arms, and
in due time they find themselves contaminated.
They are justly rewarded They attempt to ar
rest the malignant and purid disease, by casting
out those upon whom the plague spot manifests
ITSELF but the task is futile the contamination,
has become too widely spread, and the disease
breaks out where least expected. Well may
the party exclaim: Is ke as t 4.
l'sWill all great Ncptune's ocean wash this spot
Clean from my hand!" ,iff5slsrst NJ. n
But to change metaphor for plain speech. The
defections of such men as Henshaw and Shannon
cannot but be alarming A score of men of no
note might not be missed; but when those who
have been recognized as leaders of the Demo-
cratic legions go over, their example becomes
dangerous, as furnishing justification for similar
detection on the part of others whom they can
not spare without danger Of utter defeat and
prostration Their case is pliable, but it is also
laughable, and furnishes useful and pregnant
political lesson upon which we hope they win
ponder well. L.s alt 7la
