Negro Impudence.

We have heard many complaints Of late
elected by the outrageous conduct of negroes
in this town. We do not, however, wonder
at any i'll behavior on their part whilst allow
ed such unwarrantable privileges as were
granted them on Tuesday last. Arefractory
negro should not be spared because he may
belong to Mr.. So-an' so, or Mr.. This, or Mr.,
That, IS has been the case; but, let him be
handed over to the town constable that be
may receive just punishment. The black

than the white population, which for the
comfort and safely OfOur citizens mus. needs
be put stop to.

Conclusion of the seventh volume.


The present number concludes the SeUenth
YoEume of the Whig. It is by US consider
ed almost useless to pen lengthy article on
the subject, suffice it to say, our readers can
Judge for themselves Of the manner in which
our journal has been conducted, and our
near neighbors and friends know that indus
Try and perseverance, on our part has not
been spared to render our paper interesting
and its issuance punctual. We have en-
deavored to give choice selections from other
journals, and our editorials have all been
written in good feeling and friendship, and
we trust have been SO received. With the
close of this volume of our paper many sub
scriptions fall due, and as we stand much ir
nsed Of 'sEhs- ready wheTewith 70 Pursu'
our avoca:ion, we hope those Of our patrons
indebted to as will give US a call, pay up
and confer on us favor by so doing.

NAV be deemed necessary to publish BY either

From the SOuIhrOn.
Thc Whig Cause.

40 one who will take candid and i'm
partial survey Of the condition OF the parties
in this State, can for a moment doubt that
a great and signal triumph will crown the
cxorti MS of the why's at the approaching
e,ection. That bold enthusiasm, earnest
ness Of purpose, patriotic ZEAL union Of
action. which characterized the deliberations
of the Wing Convention, give an assurance
sordorinq upon reality, that we will and
arc bound 20 succeed. That body was CON-
posed of mon from various portions of the
State. and they have returned TO their homes
asstbo firm advocates Of principle and the
unainchng enemies Of misrule. And the
sumo Split which inspires them with zeal
and pervndes their bosoms, VIII be impart-
ed 10 the communities in which they reside.

Tho spirit which is destined 10 redeem the
pIghtcd honor Of the State, and restore the
lost credit Of the people. If there be any
power in principle, any persuasion in truth,
any force in arguments, we are sure Of glo-
rious victory Mep err oflner from a mis-.
conception of their duty, shan from any
wil(ul peryersiiy Of temper But enlighlen
the public mind, and the people will seldom
DO wrong. Let Us then disseminate among
them political knowledge, and TO this end
let tracts, and pamphlets, and circulars, ant
newspapers, embodying the cardinal doc
trines of our party, DO placed within The
reach CT every reading and rejecting mind
And 10 more cifectually carry out the design
so essential to the correction Of public sentl
meni, let us 60 Immediately and actively {
work, in establishing clubs in every nool
and corner Of the Siatc-at every precinc
in every county. Let those clubs hole
weekly mcetings-lot knowledge be circu
lated, and information freely impaired. The
time has arrived when every wing is ex
pcctod TO do his duty, and manfully 6gh
under the banner Of constitutional liberty
The faith, credit and honor of our State i
in jeopardy, and the very pillars Of the gov
eminent We are called upon to support
Tho many headed monster, Reputation, !

us days are few and numbered, for tho hon

The English government is taking order
upon the qualifications of Ministers and Re-
personalities abroad, especially that they
shall understand and speak the language,

Some Of our citizens will recollect the earn.
estness with which Mr.. Walsh was won't to
press that upon the consideration Of our own
Government, and they will see how utterly
without any advantage. In mos: Of the
Courts Of Europe, the French language is

Wings Of Michigan, so far as we have heard
an ex preston Of sentiment, there is no con-
hiet of choice; all are united, warm, stead
fast, and decided in favor o. HENRY CLAY
as their candidate for President OF the Uni

choice, and cordially can we mite with our
friends in doing battle in his behalf IN the
coming contest. With this cble, fearless,
honest, and straight forward champion OF
Wing principles, come success or defeat, we
are willing, nay anxious, 70 risk our Politi-
cal fortunes. We have no desire 10 ta'uPeT

ity." We believe the most worthy is the
uosi available, and that that man is HENRY

not result from a decrease in the demand,

there is frightful Tariff. may now be bought

it has sold in the same market for sos to

HoT SPRINGS OF ARKANsAs.-The Hot
Springs Of Arkansas are about 65 miles
southwest from Little Rock, and burst from
the side of mountain which is several hun
dfed feet high, to the number of over go.
They are of unequal temperature, ranging
from below 100 to AT degrees of FahTen-
hel. The water in the largest spring is
hot enough for culinary purposes, and scalds
hogs thrown into it sufficiently for cleaning.
Near the Top Of the hill, two springs burst
forth within a yard of each other, one of
which is hot and the other cold-;he latter
being the only cold spring on the western
side OF the hill, while on the eastern side
there is but single spring, and that cold
chalybeate. Quite village has sprung up
at the Hot Springs, bath houses have been
built, and the place has become quite a re-
sort of invalids. A short distance below the
bath houses the stream from the springs
form delightful pool, the water being of a
crystal purity, and just the right temperature
for delightful bath.
