THE ELECTIONS.

IENNEssEE.-lt is now ascenained that the
Republicans have SIR of the eiepen members
elect In This State. So the State has not gone
Tor MIR. Clay and the Globe, after all. We un-
dersland that the Republican members elect are
true men-not slaves
We do not like to be censorious. bat we
cannot help expressing our belief that Gov ernor
FOLK lost his election in consequence OF The
dlctatoral ofhclousness of the Globe, and the
uisn Of as editor 10 Tennessee Ii was gene
rally surmlsed that If the Globe did not suppo
Mr. Clay-lf II should succeed in debating TO
The Republican party, then, and in that event,
II would make Mr.. Van Buren, President and
Governor Polk Vice President. Such being the
case and II being understood that Mr.. Blair in
tended to re-eslablish the Sub-Treasury, and
had declared that the support of the Democratic
friends of President Tyer's Administration
would he 'spurned" by his Che Globe's) party,
We have every reason 10 believe that many true
Democrats in Tennessee, ranking under such
insults, took no part in the Gubernatoral cleo
ton. They were also indignant at the Globes
efforts to make 1t appear that General Jackson
was the enemy OF President Tyler.
The Globes scheme Of making Vice Presi-
dent on Mr.. Van Buren's ticker, by ercomnaas-
nicdiing The honest Democrats from the party,
has also given the Clay party majority in the
Tennessee Legislature, which will result in
giving the Wings majority in the United
States Senate.
KENTucKY.-In this State the moderate men
have achieved triumph. AS far rs heard from
the Republicans have elected fre members OF

| MEN-they do not wear any mans collar, and
will not have a candidate for the Presidency
dictated to them by the Globe. This we
knaolo.

Mr.. Calhoun and one Wing to Congress. Mr.
Lewis is mighty tower of strength himself

"UNDER WHICH KING, BEZoNIAN ,"

Our Republican friends in all the States
where elections have been, or are TO be held
must be fully aware that the Globe has not
struck single blow in their behalf On The
contrary ii is well known that il has done far
more for Mr.. Clay than the Administration,
while the friends Of President Tyler, in all the
States, have done every thing in their power
OF the Republican candidates.
Hence, we call upon the Globe to say who
is to be It's chief, or rather protege in the event
of its failure to make Mr. Van Buren, the can
dldate. Mr.. Clay?

THE BEGINNING OF THE END.

The Wings have been pretty unanimously
entertained for some Time past by the little
squabbles in the Republican family. 1t seems,
however, that their turn is TO come next, and no
doubt sufficient quantity Of entertainment will
be furnished for the "other side"
Some time ago, if we mistake not, the Intel
ligencer said it could support Gen. Scout as
heartily as any other man for the Presidency /;
aud we then suspected if the elections in fifteen
States this summer and autumn, should demon
strdte that the Bank party was utterly lmpotent,
there would be some kind of diversion in
politics. We thought that some prominent
Wing would modify his sentiments on the cur.
rency question, and then supercede Mr. Clay.
We see by the last United States Gazette.
what we conceive 10 be symptoms Of the begin
ming of that end, though we do not by any
means aspire to be the Talleyrand in adius ing
the matter. From the extract which we amend.
our readers may recognize the symptoms for
themselves:

PARTY MATTERS.
| We have been amused with the perusa of an arti-
Gle in the Lancaster Union, in which the editor of
that paper takes Us TO task for vindictve harsh
and repusive course towards those who are not
friendly to Mr. Clay" This is believe the latest
news Of the kind; and all say now is that il
| " needs confirmation" Our contemporary of the
Union is of the three four anti-Van Buren, pa
| pers in this State, who deem il sort of monthly
duty to attack for relations with charitable
association, to belabor stouty and loudly not we
presume, 10 injure our feelings much, as to
keep up appearances at home This we infer from
many circumstances, but especially from the fact
| the other these porodical vista
| tons, we say nothing and do nothing that has the
least relations to the censure They a sort OF
| Buukum articles, which laugh at as well as the
| rest.
| But the Union says that do not mean to acqui-
esce in the nomination of the National Convention.
But we do mean to acqUiesce, and what is more, we
mean that the nomination shall be one, that every
friend of the country shall acquiesce in it.
But why should be suspectedi Are we more
attached to the man of the nation now than we were
| In 1899 And did we not then, on The very day on
which the nomination of Harrison was made remove
| the name Of Henry CLAY from our columns and in
| its stead, place those of Harrison and Tyler And
| did we not, with heart and head and hand do what
we could TO promote bis election' And when that
secured did we ever present ourselves at Wash
| ngton, the suppllant for reward for office
| We have SAID nothing against General Scott the
candidate of the Unlon and the editor Of that paper
| knows, and resents it ! while portion of the Scot
press has been loud and offensive in its gross and in
| sutIng attacks upon Mr. Clay-so loud that thew
cannot acquiesce in his nomination without injury to
his cause

OUTBREAKS OF BANK WHIGGERY.

OUTBREAKS OF BANK WHIGGERY.
The distracted Wings have burnt President Tyler
In efiigy in various places in Indiana, and especially
in Kentucky, the Banner State, where occasionally
Wing may be found who can read and write.
Prentice, of the Louisville Journal, says:
"On Monday night the effigy of the President was
burned in this city, and the mock execution wit
messed by thousands. The ceremony appears TO have
been conducted by Of the most respectable young
gentlemen Chiefly Nirginians in Louisville and there
was much solemnlty the occasion as we find
usually al real executions"

young gentlemen chiefly Vrgnians." Ii they

LANCASTER, July IL, lS40.
My DEAR SIR On my return from Columbus this
evening, received your letter informing that it
was asserted at public meeting in Washington coun-
ty that in speech at Philadelphia had said the
question between the parties, Bank of the Uni
ted States, and that you, from knowledge Of the
real question and of me- had contradicted the
ton. In this, of course, you perfectly safe.
made no such statement, but the very contrary. |
avowed that the true question was and is the restric
ton extension Of Executive po,cer-hat its encroach
ments open and covert, were of the most alarming
nature, and if not resisted, must in the subver-
sion of all that is valued in the Republican princ
piles of our Government; and that gorgeous

said that our opponents were attempting to make the
question of Bank the issue between the parties. /
spoke of the upudence and obsydiiy Of the attempt
That Bank was not and never had been considered
by US any thing more than matter Of con-
venience-a useful article Of furniture in our noble
edfce That our opponents were gravely raising and
debating the question whether this article Of furhi-
tute was convenient or necessary-whether should
have table a seuee standing in haIs--while
their sappers and miners at work tumbling its
walls and columns about our ears. This, with ampi-
hcatOn and illustration, is the substance Of what
said touching that particular subject. You perceive,
therefore, that you did not mistake my opinions or
my language.

trssobery Some OF the Wing presses denounce
him with betraying his trust in deceiying the Wings
who had made National Bank the issue before the
country al the election, Sc, Sc. and with many like
| compliments. But, if the reader wishes TO under
| stand Mr. Tyers true position, he will read the mas
ery letter have republished in last page from
| the Albany Argus. We can scarcely be mistaken in
the author.
Alongside of this liberal and luminous argument
we place the following letter, communicating re-
markable reply of Mr.. Secretary Ewing--to show
that though the issue of Bank Bank ten
dered TO the Wings, thew directly declined IT, Some
of them not only Graded it, for fear of losing votes
but Others In the front ranks of the Wings, denied
that il the issue at all If Mr.. Tyler, therefore
throws himself back upon his ancient principles they
have no right TO complain He is no traitor. He
has betrayed trust The Wings made no such
issue for him-and he is not bound by any such.
MARIETTA, Aug. %, l64l.
TO THE EDITOR l have sent you Wing paper
of this place. containing letter written by L Ewing
The present Secretary Of the Treasury, during the
campaign OF last year. You will make such use Of
il you may deem proper. This letter was called
out by charges against MIR. Ewing relative to the
ISSUE Bank no Bank. We who took the stump
here, as elsewhere in Ohio, sought TO hold the then
opposition party to their text; but want Of candor
and political integrity induced reckless and fraudu
lent evasion OF this important question And now
when the power is gained, and the people wronged
out of their suffrage, the question occupies the fore
ground oil the wing pollcy--a measure tina: again
boldly threatens the dissolution and overthrow Of
the Federal party while all others become of
% minor Importance Mr. Ewing first to pre-
sent plan of this institulion-frst to make it
prominent and leading measure of the Admins
tration And Mr. Tyler is to be denounced, because
il is claimed that he has taken stand in open def
ance of the will of the peope, expressed in this be-
| half. Such were the professions of Mr.. Ewing, and
the leaders of the Federal party, to bamboozle the
people-such their aim and policy to forward the
work Of innovation and consolidation. This letter,
coming from the source it does, corresponding with
every act of Federal treachery to obtain triumph
over the avowed, Incorporating, and constitutional
principles of the Democracy of the country, it may
be well enough to place alongside of the professions
and practice of Mr. Ewing before the people, and see
whether he with his Federal contemporaries, have
been expert gamblers with the peoples suffrage as
in Bank stock land scrps, and other splendid schemes

whether the legerdemain of Whggery has not AREA
