SHOCKING MURDER.-I'he Natchez Courier OF
the 29th ult. gives the following particulars Of a
dreadful murder recently perpetrated in Loulsl-
ana.
A Miss Demoss was killed about the 9th IN
slant, near Minden, Claiborne Parish, La. She
left the house of neighbor in the evening, to re-
turn to the house of her father, respectable
planter, but not arriving, search was COM
menced, and young man, by name Lambwright,
was met in the woods. Upon the searching
party proposing to 60 up a certain branch, he
stated that ii was no use, he had been there
hunting, &c. They did go, however, and found
her dead. She had been violated, severely beaten
and then her head was held under the water TO
finish the work Of death. Some other clrcum
stances have excited suspicion of Lambright, but
there is no positive evidence against him. He is
young man, married, with child, and be-
fore his marriage had addressed Miss Demoss,
and been by her rejected.

Police Reform.

L. writes us a most startling expose Of the
corruption and wickedneSs of our present Police.
He charges that several OF our Public Officers
have their homes in brotlleIs or nightly haunt the
most abandoned resorts, and live by levying
Black Mall on harlots, thieves and depredators
generally, on promise Of aiding their escape from
Justice He states that one of the most infamous
creatures about town, who was recently sent to
the Pententiary for assaulting with intent to
stab gentleman who had merely given test-
Inony against her paramour who had stolen his
watch, is now paradng Broadway again, after
remaining on Blackwell's Island less than a
month and another, who was sent up for as
sauting gentleman while with his family at the
theatre, has been got off, after few days con-
hnement, by distributing twenty-five dollars
among Police Officers, &c. This, he adds, is
common case.
We need not again express our conviction that
the whole machinery supported at heavy cost
by our City for the repression and punishment Of
crime is utterly corrupt and abominable that it
employs and sharpens worse rascals than 1t pun
ishes, and on the whole does more harm than
pood. When, O when shall we have a real

THE RESULT.

The smoke has blown away from the
political horizon, and we have an I'M
obstructed view of the battle field, OF
the great national race-course, if you
please. The killed, the wounded, and
the defeated, can now be identified,
and given into the hands of their re-
spective friends-the killed to be buri-
ed, (requ'escat an pace! the wounded

be done with them-or rather, him p
He can console himself with the re-
Election, that his disastrous defeat has
been in perfect accordance with the
a0in Of the People! LET the reader
remember, that in his laconic answer
to the committee by whom he was in
formed of his nomination by the whig
national convention, Mr.. Clay used
language to this effect: that he accep-
ted the nomination because he beliey-
ed it 10 be the will ofthe people!l
In taking view of the battle field,
while many things have transpired to
cause unpleasant feelings-fghting
quarrelling, &C., for which neither par
ty, perhaps, is altogether responsible
yet every good Republican must fee
proud of the grand resalt-of the cleo

they have so ardently and honorably
exerted themselves. That monster Of

A MEAN WRETCH!!

We have been informed by unques-
tionable authority, that on several oc
casions during the last three weeks,
some maleyolent being has been in the
habit of obstructing the passage Of
the stage, by building fence across
the Turnpike, few rods below town.
That the perpetrator of this mean act
designs to injure either the driver or
passengers, or both, is apparent from
the fact, that the fence is built on the
side Of hill, in going down which
the speed of the stage must be greatly
increased. 1t would be difficult, there
fore, without great precaution on the
part Of the driver, to avoid running
upon the fence, and thus endanger the
lives of the passengers, the driver, and
the horses. And it is not little re-
markable, that this fence has been built
upon those nights only when Mr..
STONE drives; and it would seem,
therefore, that the design is to infict
personal injury upon that gentleman.
The question arises, what has he done,
that he should be thus wickedly as
sailed' Surely it cannot be because
he is Democrat. We know Of no
man in our community, whose depra-
ity would lead him to commit such an
act of meanness. We hope that i'm
mediate measures will be adopted TO
detect the scoundrel and bring him to
Justice. We have no doubt that the
parties interested would give suitable
reward for his detection.

says A ridiculous story was snapped
up by the coons yesterday, that Per

jority of 500 for Clay-that the State
was whig by above 30C-and that the

Spirit Of Whiggery.-The wings,
holding the doctrine that the people
are too ignorant and vulgar 10 NEEDLE
with State affairs, have never submit
ted with a good grace TO their decis-
ions at the polls. Now, it seems if
the millboy cannot be elected, we are
TO have revolution. The whig cen
trail committee Of North Carolina among
whom is George Z. Badger, Gen. Har.
rison's Secretary Of the Navy, recently
put forth an address in woich we 6nSA
the following:
"if by any means an apparent ma.
jorlty is returned for Polk and Dallas,
@saaothing Bat revolution can heJp as.
Nothing but revolution can help
us! !" We should like to see the kid
glove gentry undertake to put down
the democracy with gun powder. The
cowardly scoundrels dare not attempt
it; and this clustering language only
shows the desperation Of coonery-its
contempt for the people and its inabil-
ity to maintain itself by fair and open
discussion Of principles.
Good Joke.--The New York News
says that on the third evening after the
election, when the Wings supposed
they had carried the " Empire State"
they marched in procession to the res
ldence of Mr.. Frelinghuysen, TO con-
graduate him upon his election He
was very happy in his reply returning

they have not been guilty of such and
such crimes, as to accuse foreigners Of

Politically, we have nothing to fear
from this movement on the part of the
whig party; but when we view the
question in its moral aspects, we con-
fess that we can anticipate no good to
the country. Jealousies and prejudi-

TRUE TO THEIR INSTINCT!
"Hmerican RepubIicans"!

"Hmerlcaaa RepubIicans"!
The leading men of the wing party,
heretofore, al least, have most unqual-
idedly and unblushingIy denied the
charge, that they (the whigs) alter
almost as often as they are defeated in
a great election. History, whose phi
losophical teachings no candid, sensi-
bic man ought ever disregard, proves
the charge TO be true. The heteroge-
nous elements of that party are again
IN motlon-the great Federal-Nation-
al-Republican- Wing Republican whig-
Coon Wing mountain is again in labor!
A mighty groan utters forth from its
great womb of names! In the midst
Of it, the 'God-Iike' utters his voice!
and, attend 0 EARTH and ye aston
lshed coons and democrats, open your
ears that you may hear! Theagony is
overland the wing partyis hereaferto
be known as the american Republican,
or .Natire .4nse,ican party. This is
no more than We have been anticipating
ever since the whig party merged itself
into the Native American party, at the
election for mayor in the city Of New
York last spI ing; and the tone of the
wing papers, prior to the late disgrace
full riots in Philadelphia, indicated such
a result. It is no longer to be the whig
party-or, more properly, the coon
whlg party-Oh, no~-but Natiue A.

that is 10 infuse new life into the de-
funct body Of "1'hat Same Old Coon. )"
But do they propose to abandon those
measures which have distinguished it
from the Democratic party?--do they
intend to bring forth a new set of prin
ciples, with which to "astonish the
mattress 2" What additions do they
intend to make to the political vocabu-
larry what new star is to be placed
IN the political armament, TO illumine
the world with its sparkling rays p
None! Like the animal that tried to
deceive by putting on a lions skin,
it will be known-it will continue to
be the same old HamiItonian Federal
party-a National Bank, High Protec-

nucleus around which its most ardent
hopes will cluster.

LOUISIANA.
From The NeW Orleans Courier.

We said in our paper OF Tuesday
that the majority which the democrats
would obtain in the first electoral dis
trict would not be under 500 votes i;
we were not deceived; it is, if we are
well informed, 819 votes. In the third
district we gave at least 600 majority,
and about 800 in the fourth, which
will give US total Of 2,219. Deduct
ing the majority Of 1000, which the
wings will obtain in the second electo-
raj district, there will remain, at all
events, democratic majority of 1000
to 1900 votes.
The wings who have been weak
enough to bet upon upon Louisiana,
may prepare to unloop the strings of
their purses. 1t is unfortunate, but
not dishonoring.
