purely Of a 3aoraJ character, and is such
as every lover Of public virtue would

extent by the measures and manner Of
electioneering Of the wings, that noih

revolution can set them right.

4 Significant Fact.-RHoDE Is
LAND-poor, AFFECT, despised, down
trodden Rhode Islands the only
State In the Union in which Federal
ism has increased its vote since 1910.
Gen. Harrison carried it by 1877 ma
jority. MIR. Clay has succeeded BY
2,502, showing a Federal increase Of
425. We rejoice in this result. We
are hearty glad that the Algenne des-
pos Of Rhode Island and the merciless
prosecutors ofthe patriotic Dom, have
recorded their preferment for Mr.. Clay.
II is in perfect accordance with their
principle-or rather want Of it.

OUR PYRAMlD-COMPLETE.

We are now enabled to lay before
our readers the Pyramid OF Democratic
States, which we promised in our last.
It viii be seen that all but one of the
States which we SET down as doubtful
a few weeks ago, have voted for Polk
and DALLAS. The exception is Ten
nessee. It is not a. all strange that
Mr.. Polk should not have received the
vote Of this State, for the very obvious
reason that it is thoroughly whig. The
fact that it is the residence of Colonel
POLK, argues nothing. Do the wings
suppose that Mr.. Clay could have Sc
cured the vote Of Virginia, or any 9TH
er Democratic State, for such a reason?
Therefore, their apparent joy at the
probability that Mr.. CLAY has receiv-
ed the vote Of that State by meagre
is exceedingly foolish, and
shows, at least, that they are thankful
for small favors.

Coon eating Coon seems to be rath-
er unnatural, yet we have an instance
to record of its actually taking place. -
The story runs thus: After the betting
characters of New York, had ascertain
ed that the State had gone for Polk,
they got James Watson Webb, to say
inhis paper that an express had brougt
the intelligence that Clay had carried
the state. This information was i'm
mediately dispatched to Philadelphia
and with it gang of gamblers of New
York. The Wings of Philadelphia,
were elated with JOY at the unexpected
news and atynce offered to bet at great
odds-the bets were taken by Watson
Webb's friends, who having succeeded
in robbing their Philadelphia friends,
took the earliest cars back again to
New York. This is the fair sample of
the whig party from their leader down.

RemarkS-Busines in country produce
has been exceedingly limited during the last
week, owing chiefly to the small amount
now coming forward. The demand for
several articles has considerably improved
to supply the city trade and TO fill country
orders; and some changes in prices have
been effected, as will be noted below. Blu
siness in general, however, is dull; and till
the flood subsidies, so that the usual chan.
nes Of trade can be pursued, no permanent
improvement can be expected.
Tobacco-Excepting great falling of
in the amount offered in the market, we
have no change whatever to notice. The
demand for all descriptions continues brisk
and full prices are obtained. Since our
last, one hogshead, raised by Mr.. ]. BIB, Of
Franklin county, was sold at $40 70 per
100 lbs. and one hid. raised in the same
county, by MIR. ]. B. ELLEr, was bid off al

no change in the price is noticed, although
the demand has somewhat improved. We

GTTHAT PLEDGE,-The Democratic State Con-
vention Of this State, which assembled in Jefferson
City on the lst day Of April last, recommended to
the democracy of the State not to vote for any
for the Legislature who would not pledge himself
TO vote for the reelection of Thomas H. Benton to
the Senate of the United States. This resolution
was placed at the head of some Of the democratic
papers, and has been kept there ever since. The
democrats Of this county held meeting on the
20!h Of last April and passed similar resolution.
Some Of the gentlemen who are now on the demo.
cratic ticket for the legislature were in that meot
ing and voted for the adoption Of the resolution
They have never yet said whether they would vote
for or against Benton, Notwithstanding they have
been repeatedly called on. We called on them last
week and week before, and they have not an
swered the call. We shall continue to call upon
them until they say yea or nay. 1t was an issue Of
their own making, and we intend to hold them to
it, Nor will we be put off by their talk about Texas
and annexation, or anything else: Benton or no
il like men. We wish the citizens of the county to
bear in mind, that they are candidates for their
votes, that they have twice been called on for their
opinions, and they have as yet, refused to give
them.
