DWILL1AM ]. LINDSAY, the carpenter
of the steamboat Mary Tompkins was ar
rested last Sunday in Glasgow on charge
of bigamy. He was taken before Justice
Digges, and committed for trial. The Cir
cult Court being in session, he was put
upon his trial on Wednesday and cleared.
A. woman, claiming to be his wife, made
her appearance in Glasgow and produced
a certificate showing that they were mar
ried in Scotland. He left her-came &c
this country and married again. Having
no use for two, it devolved upon his "firsl
love" to establish her claim to his "pcrson
and protection" which she failed to do in
a legal manner, and he was acquitted.

on her downward trip, was destroyed by
fire on the I'd inst. miles above ST

which contained 500 bales of hemp. The

The western MSsourian' has again

in singular bad taste. We suspect during
its suspension the Democrat and Inquirer
have not been sending their papers TO it,
and the editor, being ignorant of the steps
taken by the Clique, is fighting exactly
where he left off six weeks ago. Why, the
Clique has changed phases four times since

Every candid man in any manner &C.
quainted with the state of public feeling
in the above States, must admit that our
table fairly presents the strength Of these
candidates in each Of the aspects, and
what is the result! By the general ticket
or "cliuue" mode, Van Buren, is nominated
whereas the district system places johnson
far ahead, and gives Calhoun hity,fow
uoteS in eight States where the general
ticket gives him nothing Away then, say
we, with such smothering of honest
opinion. Away with the "clique," and
down with their dishonest machinery
But they perceive their fate, and in this
quarter, where only four months ago every
thing was buoyancy and hope, the mana
gers exhibit a down look-Robinson gets
drunk daily--and Gov. Reynolds only
hopes for resuscitation by his present hotch
potch proposition of Congressman, Gov
crnor, and Delegates all in a heap. As
matters now stand, he is defeated and dis
graced, but in a sweeping convention, hav-
! ing a large patronage, he hopes to trade
in one or two of his minons, and thus pre-
pare pillow on which to rest his head
for the next four years. But the honest
democrats have him down and should keer
him there. He is utterly reckless in every
thing which pertains to his own ambition
and adroit and skilful in political trade
and traffic. In district conventions he
would be powcrless, because being called
for an honest and specific purpose. trade
and traffic would be impracticable-but in
State convention, for Presidential, Guber.
material, and Congressional purposes, where
trade and traffic would rule the roast, look
out for an old trickstcr, who is celebrated
for doing good work in deep water by
Slyly and shorty clawling upon the bottom
without ruf1iing the surface. He is at least
equal to three of Colts submarine bat
teries, and will blow up an honest fair
sailing squadron before they are aware OF
his presence.
The honest democrats are thus "forc.
warned" and if they are not "forearmed
it will be their own fault. In fair distri.
button of the democratic strength Of the
State, JOHNSON is entitled to four if not
five of our votes, yet in State convention
if the honest democrats are green enough
to submit to it, the "cliquc" would hope tc
carry the State, and thus ratify the lcgis
ative usurpation of last winter.
Their strength is in the centre. Their
delegates and wire workers would all be
in attendance. The convention would ne.
cossarily mcctin the centre. The outside
counties, where the ovcr-ridden democrat,
all reside, would fail to send full delegations
and some fail entirely, and in this way, anC
by this process, the "cllque" hope for sue
cess. Their motto is death or victory,
and the honest democrats will hereafter
perceive that their fate depends upon the
manner they meet and overcome the insid
ious proposition under consideration.
We have no object beyond equal anc
exact justice, and for this we shall contend
in the preliminary and ultimate operations
of both parties.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.

MT. Botts' application for committee to investigate the charges made by himagainst the President was refused l27 to 0S. The Presidents friends voted in the negative-a strange proceeding if they had faith in the correctness of his conduct. A great many whigs voted nay because they thought the play not worth the candle. It was very gen. erally believed, at least believed by a large number. that the allegations could he prov ed but it would Consume much precious time, and could not well add to the odium with which the President is now regarded by. the people.
 The Committee of Ways and Means, as you are doubtless aware, have reported against the Presidential Exchequer. This Report with the debate thereon, fully con- firms me in the opinion gave you a few days since, namely, that the Exchequer could only get the votes of few Eastern Whig members. Mr. Fillmore, you know is Chair man of Ways and Means; his report is 2 very full and able one. The resolution ac- companying it, declaring that the Exchequer project ought not to be adopted, expressed the views of every member of the committee; the report, however, was not as unanimous ly concurred in. Mr. Atherton, member of that Committee, reported an amendment to the resolution to instruct the committee to report plan offinance similar to that of the sub treasury. The debate upon this Report. resolution and amendment, occupied the greater port of the day.
 MT. Wise demanded to know if the com. mittee did not intend to report any plan of currency. Mir. Fillmore replied that the committee had reported two already, and that they had been defeated by the President. MT. Granger observed that he considered the Exchequer graft from the subtreasury "a Government bank in it's more objection able form.
 Capt. Tyler is evidently satisfied by this time with his democratic connection, and think would gladly discover it if he could be restored to the confidence of those he has so meanly betrayed.
