they had an undoubted right to do, our judement,
proceeded TO impute dishonorable motives.
Y a"The Albany friends alluded to in one of the
New York papers, are merchant of this city and
oureslf, who were accused in the streets by hun
dreds of their own political friends with having
come 10 New York representing that the State
was lost, but knowing that it was safe, for the
purpose OF winning bets and specializing in stocks.
We were denounced and reviled by wings in terms
too gross to be repeated, for having, when asked,
given them information calculated and intended
to save them from further loss of money and NOR
tfcation of spirit. Indeed, so much were the
minds Of men excited by those who famed the
embers,' that some proposed our elevation upon a
rail- while others talked Of tar and feathers. ~

There is also Senator to be elect
ed in Virginia, whose Legislature nom
nalIy contains Hhig majority oftwo
members; another in Delaware, and
third in Michigan. In the last mem
toned State, the Wings have not the
least chance. Therefore, in order to
retain ii majority in the Senate, they
must e!ect the Senator from Virginia,
and the Senator from Delaware. As
To the last, the resul! will be known a
about week. Tie Legislature upoh
whom the election of the U. S. Sena-'
tor will devolve, is 10 be chosen on
the 9th inst.
Unless tle Wal Is get both Of these
Senators, there will be in elect, DEM
ocratic majority, as the Vice President
of the U. >. is, ex.oificlo, President
of the Senate, and has the casting
vote"
From this it would seem that, on
Virginia all depended for amajority.
One thing is very clear, at all events,
that even if Virginia should elect q
Dlaiel WEBSTER man, for lie is to lead
New England cohorts in future, their
majority will not be reliable one.
The Nativeists of Ohio, vii, NJ doubt,
senI Mr.. Corwin to the senate, as he
is already spoken ofas the Vice on the
Webster ticket; but it is very question:
able whether the whole of the opposi.
ton in the Senate can be made TO play
lacto sly into III, han Is of such a
movement. In disbanding the wing
party, as a whig party, and assuming
the name Of "American Republican,
the name the church burning native
federalsts have already given tive
sha!' not believe that all the late wniys
IN or out of the U. S. Senate, will be
found flIling into their ranks. 1t is Il
party fit only for men whose preju Ii.
ces are more prepondering than their
brains and nln5t soon run the course OF
all other factions. Democrats will not
burn their fingers with it, and many Il
whig be found in the same category.
while the whole of our adopted breth-
rem will be driven, out of self-defence,
to cast their votes with the Demo-
Gratis.
But aside from all this, there is Iowa;
the young, the gay bride OF the west,
who has just adopted her constitution,
and will send two Sen tors to Wash
ington, us soon as nd lite !, which
will be before the meeting of the next
Congress, in Dccembet l945. This
will settle the question as to the po-
Iitical character of the Senate, without
much doubt.-O. Statesman.

STEA MBOAT ACCIDENT.

By the Ben Franklin No. Z. we learn
the loss of the Steamboat Chieftain,
Capt. Carrel, She was snnggeI on
Saturday morning, 9th inst. at hoe
taw Bond, in the Mississippi. One ru-
NOR says that she sunk immediately;
and another that her live stock was ta-
ken of by the American Eagle; the
latter would seem to imply that her
engine, &c. might be saved. We fear
lit will turn out that the Boat AMI car
60 will prove total loss. She was
bound from Cincinnati for New Or

Cattle. 354 b5s Whiskey, IS bbls.

REFLECTIONS AFTER A BATTLE WON.
The Richmond Enquirer throws out some
thoughts upon the close of the late party struggle,
which we trust will find response in every dem
ocratic bosom. The suggestions in regard to the
establishment of common schools in Virginia de-
serve the most earnest consideration Of the patriots
of the glorious old Commonwealth. Our whole
southern and western regions are sadly, sadly def
cient in this most vital concern. Our northern
brethren have infinite advantages over us in the ed
ucation of the people. Ofa internal improvement
at the expense Of the State treasures, there is
SO valuable cheaply attainable as the general
education ofthe people. Would to God that south
ern and western legislators could be induced to
take this matter to heart.-Globe.
From the Richmond Enquirer
The noise and the heat of the trial are now over;
the people have given in their solemn verdict, to
which all patriots will submit and far as the dis
cussion of the principles of the two parties con-
ccrned, they are for the present, regarded obso
lete IDEAS" Save the returns of the election now
rapidly coming in, both readers and editors are de-
lighted to drop, for brefperiod, all that savors of
politics. 1t is really delightful TO have little peace
again. There has been too much violence and
warmth engendered in the contest; but, on the other
hand, it is source of the highest honor to Virginia
that, in every county from which we have heard,
there has been the utmost order and good feeling
manifested at the polls No blood has been shed,
and, TO the best Of our knowledge no personal diff
6culty has occurred. In the most heated political
contest ever known in Virginia, the laws have been
respected-the constitution obeyed. This, ofitself
is one Of the most beautiful proofs of the sautary
action of free government, and presents in f1ater
ing light the character Of our people Long may it
be SO, and long may we give to the enemies et free
government such a convincing proof of the utter
injustice and absurdy of their theory, "that the
people are not capable Of self government"
Now that we are al peace again, we trust that the
arts and sciences will flourish with new vigor in
our land. The elastfew years have developed, to
a wonderful extent, the genius of the American
people; and as all will now return to their regular
avocations, there is no telling what an important
impetus will be given to the cause of science by the
mechanical genius of our strong-minded people,
Literature and the fine arts will still receive more
votaries. We have already given to the world

THE u. IS. SENATE.

Since the election of JAMES X. POLK
to the office of President of the United
States, the construction of This body
becomes of more interest. We shall
not presume, however, that the whole
of those Senators, now called UAig.
will be found ready or willing to unite
in a Fictitious opposition to his admin
istra,ion; yet it is well enough to see
how the matter stands, and how many
there are whose known character and
attachment to the democratic party is
beyond dispute.
The following we find in the Jour
nal Of Commerce, one of the most relia.
bic papers in the Union.
"U. S. SENATE.-The uncertainties
in regard to the political complexion
of the U. S. Senate, after the 4th OF
March next are now brought within Il
narrow compass. The election oI
Democratic Legislatures in Arkansas
and New York, has settled the ques.
ton that the U. S. Senators to be elect.
ed by them will be of the same politics.
The case therefore stands thus:

THE DISAPPOINTMENT OF THE wHIGs

THE DISAPPOINTMENT OF THE WHIGS
Our friends can form some opinion of the depth
of this disappointment from the excited state Of
the wings in regard to the election, before its
results were certainly known. 1t seems they were
so confident of success that they would listen to
no expression Of opinion TO the contrary, and,
indeed, stood ready to hang and quarter any OF
their friends who were less sanguine or more saga
cious than themselves. When the editor OF the
Tribune one day spoke despondingy Of the result
in this State, he was the next morning denounced
IN the sharpest terms, as weak minded man and
traitor to his cause. And when the editor of the
Albany Evening Journal Zone of the warmest and
most Inscriptions of Mr.. Clay's friends) predict
ed in this city that whigism was lost, his fellow
partisans almost hooted him IN the streets He
says: .4 aH
"We were called to New York on Wednesday
on business, and when questioned by our political
friends, frankly stated our conviction that the
State had gone against us by over 1900. This
opinion not only wounded the feelings of some

large number of politicians who have made it their
