coming a very staunch jackson mar: bu, his po-
iiica faith being questioned, this same Mr.. Whit
comb read a certificate from the stump, (gven to
him by unques toned Jacksonite,) to prove 10
the people that he Locofoco!
Under Mr. Van Buren's Rule Mr.. Whitcomb
was appointed Commissioner Of the General
Land Office. When the Harrison fever ragged,
trembling in his shoes for the loaves and fishes, he
made pilgrimage to North Bend, the residence
of the veteran Harrison Does any body suppose
that James Whtcomb took tho pains to pay that
attention TO the old hero out Of pure loreP
When President TYLER succeeded General
Harrison Mr. Whi,comb addressed to him a whin.
ing letter, well enough seasoned with the Dena-
gogue, however TO conceal his real purpose. the
purport of which to beg the Executive that
the Spoon Of Wing office might remain in his
mouth!
When Mr.. President Tyler disregarded his inn
Fortunate appeal and nominated Judge Hunting
ton us his successor, this Mr.. Whitcomb fastened,
before the Senate had confirmed the appoin tmeu T.,
to assure the Presden, that Judge Huntington (,
while Circuit Judge, had taken active part
in the Elections of the State, and that he could
prove it! Assuring the President that he thought
the Judges conduct very wrong. and stating to
him that the appointment yet in the Presi-

The Prescription Of John Iyler.--We regret TO
learn that his Accidency who disgraces the proud
seat of the American President, has, in the indul-
gence of his contemplate Spleen removed from
tho Land Office at Fairfield, Iowa, JosEPH G.
HAWKINS, formerly OF this county, to make room
for crouching sycophant. We have NOT
learned that any charge of neglect of duty, or
NAL practice in office, made against Mr.. Haw-
kins, and from his known character for honesty
and unbendiug integrity, we presume there was
none; but his independence of mind and answer
wing devotion to Wing principles would not suit

cation Of the vanity and sehshness of the ''nobie

Outrageous .4Gair.-We are informed that most nelarious and revolting transaction took place at Onondaga Hollow, on Monday of last week. Rockwell Cowlcs, young physician, who had resided in that pl4ee since January last, suddenly left his board- ing place on Friday morning, the 9th inst, and was unaccountably absent till Saturday evening. It appears now that he visited a woman residing in part of the town known as Terry Hollow, and took her, by some circuitous route, to Manlius Square, apply ing for a place for her in factory there. Not succeeding, he brought her to the Fem perance House, in this village, on Saturday, and left her. On Sunday afternoon, he sent for her by boy, who brought her 10 his boarding house (Mr. Goetshius's) as his cousin, who had come to avail herself of his services as dentist. On Monday morning he called her out of the family room, saying he was ready to operate upon Her teeth. His door was closed, and nothing was known further, till he ran hastily into a room oppo- site, and desired a young lady to run for Dr. Brewster. She started and was called back and desired to call up Dr. Roberts, of El- drdge, who was at the time in the house. The doctor, with another gentleman, went immediately mp and found the woman lying on the floor, apparently dead, with indiea- tions on every hand, not 10 be mistaken, of a foul attempt at a.stroke to conceal the mutu- al guilt and shame of both himself and his victim. Cowles manifested the utmost alarm and tried to hush up the affair. He made some very hasty and imperfect arrangement h.c aH., .,,.tl. avc N wardrobe, and it is believed, next to no mo- ney. he started on foot and came towards this village, from whence he Jeff for New Y ork city. He has been heard from since his arrival, and measures have been taken to arrest and bring him back.

Rocky .Mountains.--Bv gentleman who has just arrived Ill our town, direct from the Mountains, we have had the pleasure of again hearing from the Oregon emigrantr. The gentleman referred to went ont this spr;ro. in company with Sir William Stewards party. He states that q company of twenty-two. himself amongst the number, left Stewards company on the Big Platte, near Brady's grave, about the 1st Octo CT.
 We are informed that Lieutenant Fremont's company passed Independence Rock, near the South Pass of tho Mountains, about the lotii of September. The Oregan emigrants were ahead of Lieut. Fremoht's cofl9pany, and had divided into three or four smaller parties for the greater convenience in tfavel- lng. It seems that no accident of any kind had occurred to them, and that their cattle. mules and horses were ali iat and in fine travelling condition. They were we'll SUD- piled with every article of food necessary for their trip, and have doubtless, ere this, reached their place of destination. It will be source of much qualification to the friends of Oregon every where, 10 learn that ihis company have made their trip with no greater loss and hard- ships than it has as yet met with. The pre- sent company has blazed the way, and f.- ture emigrants will have every thing clear before them. Next year, from all indica- lions, there will be another great outpouring for Oregon Territory.

WHIG PRINCIPLES

The New York American, itself undis guised in its advocacy of the most odious and highhanded measures of the Federal Whig party, deals left handed blow at its Whig adjuncts of the press, who, disregard ing it's teachings and example, exhibit timidity and trepidation, in view of the popular ordeal which is at hand, in revealing to the public eye the principles and measures with which they are identified, and with which they go into the contest. The American, preferring to sink or swim with Bank, High Pro- tective Tariff, Distribution and all the kin dred measures of its party, points it's finger to the results in Tennessee and Georgia lauds the ss frankness'' with which the Whig leaders there avowed their real principles and designs-and dwells upon the Whig victories in those States as " demonstrating the growth of the good cause, and exhibiting its strength Ill quarters where 1t was supposed to pos- sess least" It asserts that the doctrines un- der which Governor Jones fought and con quered in Tennessee, are identical with those under which Governor Crawford fought and conquered in Georgia-and that those doc trines are Ca National Currency-in other words NATIONAL BANK, tariff that shall protect domestic industry, and DIS TRIBUTION of the land fund"
 What rebuke is this to the game which the Whig papers prefer to play off in this State, on the eve of an important election Here, they scarcely dare lisp the word Ma tional Bank, or even National Currency, which the American says means the same thing The leading Whig press in this State-the bell-weather of the Whig fold the press which entertains and notlong ago ex- pressed the conviction that Ca National Bank is as indispensable as National Government , and that " Congress ought to charter ne,"- dare not now open its mouth on the subject N inhictions, paternal or otherwise, can CO cree word from it, much less goad it into 's frankness" in regard to National Bank The "Bank Lark" will submit to any de- gree of castigation rather than consent to put its foot again into '' bank trap" It prefers the possom game" now as heretofore or the eve of an election-and so with the Whie press of this State generally. a
 But a Bank is not less the object of Whie aspiration and effort now than it ever has been, and ever will be. Skulk and blink the question as they will, the Democracy of tho State so understand them, and as they have heretofore, so will they again repudiate the effort, ill every and all shapes, to fasten i upon the country. .albany Argus.

The decree which has been sent to us by the Mexican Consul IS one of the consequences of these communications. It decree from the Pro visional President of the Mexican Republic that closes to all foreign commerce the GUS tom-houses on the frontiers adjoining the territory of the United States; that is, the custom-houses at Taos, the Passo, and the Presidio del Norte.

We stated on Monday that he was punished with 100 lashes. According to the latest information, that was not the extent of the indiction, for he actually received l50 fashes with cat-of-nine-tails before he was taken down from the whipping post This would give an aggregate of thirteen hundred and fifty stripes, and when that is taken into consideration, we are not surprised to hear of his now laboring under sufficient exhaus- ton from pain and loss of blood, as to en- danger his life.''
