OBITUARY.

Departed this life, Sunday last, the l7th inst. in
the city of Washington, ID c., Mrs. MARY r. DIX
on, formerly of Gloucester county, Va. In noticing
the death of this truly esmable lady, the writer Of
these few lines to her memory, is actuated by no
feeling common to those who usually rite common
dstions of the dead ou, having known the deceased
whole life time, he venture to record her de-
mise without an effort to bestow unmered praise,
for the poverty Of language is the present occasion,
enough to cause HIM 10 pause, and 10 invoke " ex-
pressive silence TO muse her praise But for the
benefit OF her few relatives and friends in
Virginia, this obituary notice is offered by one who
will ever reverence her memory, and who most sim
cerely sympath with her bereayed brothers aud
other relatives ia the loss they have sustained. To
have known Mrs. Dixon was enough TO ensure a deep
regard ay, love for her for IN her blended all
the virtues II the lady and Christian. She was
exemplary Christian, attached TO the Episcopal
Church, and lived a model for errng mortality.
IN her death. those of her relatives have lost az
fectonate devoted companion, her servants the kind
est mistress, and in society hiatus has been crea-
ted which cannot, never will be filled. Her spirit
has been conveyed Angels pnions 10 the bosom Of
her God, and her body 10 Williamsburg, 10 be en-
tombed in the family burying ground, there to rest
until a reunion at the General Resurrection.

A FALSE ALARM.

The Calhoun men are not the willing slaves the
Richmond Enquirer meant 10 make Of them, and are
not satisfied with the proceedings Of the Van Blu en-
Caucusses. There was iue when France was gov
House in Paris, and they determined what projects
Of laws should be proposed and how the party should
vote IN their support. That time did not last many
years in France, accustomed as the French people
were to a military despotism and il will assuredly
not gain ground In this country. The Calhoun men
say that there many principles which will come
before Congress before next May, that will have a

BANKS.

People are beginning to learn that
multiplying the number of banks does
not increase the amount ofmoney in cir~
culatiOn. Before the charters Of thirteen
of these institutions expired last winter,
the. whig leaders loudly affirmed, that il
they were not Immediately re-chartered,
there would be no money left in the
country. But experience proves the fal.
siiy Of Whig predictions. There is near.
ly as much paper and far more specie,
now circulating than formerly. What
renders the case still more singular ID
the fact, that in the face oftheir predic-
tiOns, the Whig members actually voted
against every bill brought forward TO
charter banks. Witness the following
votes:
0FEvery Wing but three (n the
HOuse) voted against the bill continuing
the charters Of the thirteen specie paying
banks.
or Every Whig (but two or three) vo'
ted against Bartley's Bill, which incOrpO.
rated five new banks.
or Every whig but three voted a.
gainst the chartering of a new bank at
Dayton.
! 0r- Also the same vote against char
tering a new bank al Bellfonlaine.
or Also the same vote against char
terinR a new bank al Eaton.
6TAlso against chartering a new
bank at Chillicotbe. a-
And they also vOIed against charterina
number Of other new banks. Yet in
the teeth of these facts, they constantly
vociferate that the democrats arc oppos.
ed 10 all banks, and are "barn ,burnersm
and agrsrians. Verify, consistency
is not word used in the whig Vocabula-
ry.-LOrGin Republicans.

WIG TROuRLEs.

The wings are in a deal of firouble as
regards the selection Of a candidale.-
Mr.. Clay does not feel disposed TO be
pushed aside. His Hfences" and farm
at Ashland, need not his particular su-
perVisiOn, and he has seized bis own ban.
nor in hand and marched forward as his
own champion on the stump. He's for
a convention if there is no opposition to
him-if there be opposition, then he's
no convention man. Some of the wings
swear to stand or fall with "Harry of the
West'-ths embedyment Of Whig princi.
ples"--while others shake their heads
and say, "we can't 60 that lengih-look
at the late electiOns,-the Kings name
is no longer slower Of strength" The
New Bedford Bulletin one Of the lead.
ing organs of the federal party in Massa-
chuset!s. has already co me out and de-
clares, "the defeat of the wings, last
November was in a measure owing to
the nom ination Of Mr.. Clay for the Presi-
dency, by the whig State Convention in
September! and says it speaks what it
knows, when it predicts the next con.
vsDtion will absolVe the State from that
nomination. Ii says further, that ''the
very mover Of the resolution, nominating
Hensry Clay for President, is strenuous
advocate Of this course"
Some perso ms may think we are pleas
ed 10 see this state Of thiRgS in the whig
ranks. Such is not the case. We de-
sire the next Presidential election to be
one that will settle all the doubts in re-
spect to the wishes Of the people as
regards the principles and measures Ol
the two parties; and as Mr.. Clay is
the old and acknowledged "embody.
msnt of whig principles, !" and the demo-
cratic candidate, whoever he may be,
will no doubt be looked upon as the em-
bOdyment'' ofthe democratic principles,
BY running Mr.. Clay The contest will be
decided, and the country afterwards have
soma rest.-Balt. Repub. and Argus.

"A PIeTURE OF THE TrMEs.-In one of
the daily prints in New York is given the
following representation of the condition
Of-tbe times.
tsThe present condition Of the country
is without parallel in our former expe.
rance. The distress and losses suffered
BY the community exceed any thing hith-
erto known, and have continued for more
than an ordinary time. The business of
the country is now reduced SO low that
no material is left on which TO create a
panic, and so far things cannot well be
much worse. But If the condition Of
the Inferior is considered, the reduced
circulation, the depressed price Of the
products of the soil, and the small a.
mount which those prices will enable
the agricullurists TO pay on old indebted,
ness, it will be evident that, sound as
our basis is, it will not admit at present
of any considerable purchases by the
country traders, OF any essential improve.

we have lived under this tariff, in full

almost every hour Of that period, has ad

Of employment, aud brought the markets
