That debt. as 1t existed when the Hs gs came into power, consisted of 5326, eye E25 of the balance of old debts, mostly s7 nOlutionary and unclaimed; S1,440,000 of 'to debts of Washington, Georgetown, and as Handria assumed by Congress during Gen. s kson's administration and S5,680,S3l 40 S aHacted under Mir. Van Buren's-growlng 'ulA of the Florida war, and the fulfilling of S ian treaties.
 Hence 1t will be seen that the whig '.new n5 Foks" show we have a national debt of n bout EIGHTEEN MILLIONS OF DOLLARS,
 oe than TEN MILLIONS ofwhich constitute Oe be of the Iegacles of the late whg admins i, hHon. Whig promises of retrenchment and onomy end in millions of debt. This is I, manner in which the democracy predic- ao they would fulfil their boastful undertak- ike s. They proposed. during the previous dd npalgn, to reduce our annual expenditures thirteen millions of dollars, and relieve us
 om all debt and unnecessary taxation. But
 IT, Webster's ''new books'' show that they n acreased our expenses and our taxes by the @ aeqnal and unjust tariff of lS42, and have the people to struggle with heavy na-
 onal debt We are happy now to be able es state that the present administration has aeady paid about one million and quarter
 the principal and interest of this whig debt,
 ead that it is fully prepared to pay every dol lar as 1t shall fall due. While the most rigid
 Nonomy IS practised, and the greatest possi-
 @ vigilance is used to protect the treasury
 Tom fraud, the officers of the Treasury De
 PaF'ment afford every possible facility to the
 honest creditors of the government to secure
 aelr just dues. Justice is done to all Un-

SEDUCTION CAsE.-A cause of some im- portance was tried in the supreme court of this county last week. The plaintiff, Jacob Copenhaver, of the county of Frederick, Va, sued Sampson Peller, of this county, foI the seduction of his daughter, and claimed dama- ges to the amount of S20,000. It was al- ledged by the plaintiff. that the unfortunate girl had been sent to the house of the defen- dant, (who was her uncle,4 to take care of, and become the associate of his only daugh- ter: that whilst there, the defendant seduced her from the path of virtue, and thus by his degraded and debased conduct has been the means of rendering miserable that home which was once the abode of peace and hap Piness. We forbear giving any of the revol- ting particulars. The jury, after few hours consultation, returned verdict of SS,0G0.- Augusta, Staunton, Va, Democrat. t/The Packet Luda, we learn, was run into when shomewhere below St. Francisvile by the steamer Julia Choteau, and sunk imme- diately.

THE CANADIAN PRESS ON THE MES.
 SAGE.


 We have been gratiGed to find in the "Toronto Examiner" some remarks on the Presidents Message, which indicate ill a ye- ry significant manner, the progress of liberal principles amongst our neighbors m Canada. The "Examiner'' appears to be fully sensible of the power-the fast growing power-of that influence which the example of this con federacy is exercising upon the nations of the European world. The extraordinary spectacle of a nation extending its dominon-enlarg- ing its territorial oundares-creating for it. self most commanding position amongst the powers of the earth-without war, with out bloodshed, without diplomatic intrigue with no other lnstrumentality but free nstitu- tions, equal laws, and unfettered human eff fort, Is justly regarded by our Canadian con- temporary as one calculated 10 attract, in a pre-eminent degree, tn colonization of man. kind, and to stimulate the masses who are subject to despotc or monarchical authority to an adoption of those glorious principles which, in this western world, have now for ced themse, Ives to a superiority before which the haughtest potentates of earth have been made to tremble. The '.Examnern takes a just view of the passages in the message bear ing on the Oregon question. Itdoes not con- slider that any barrier has been inierposed to the ultimate amicable adjustment of the ques- tion-believes that iG>war should come, the onaS will be on the head of Great Britain- and properly speaks with appreciation of the recommendation of such measures as were necessary to protect the American emigrants in Oregon, it being no invasion whatever of the terms of joint occupancy, and not only a justi6able act, but an incumbent duty on the part of this government.

ATTEMPT so ROB Some daring villain OF villains attempted to effect an entrance into the store of Messrs. Williams & Phil lips, in this city, on saturday night last, by boring into the door with an inch augur.- Owing perhaps to the darkness of the night, the robber bored into the lock instead ol boring below it. A young gentleman who was sleeping in the store at the time, arose and in approaching the door accidently struck box, made noise, and thus frightened the scoundrel away. This was the second time attempts have been made to enter and rob this store-house during the past week, and without success. We do hope that these midnight burglars and robbers may yet be caught. The robber is evidently white man who is acquainted with the construction
 olour different store-houses.--Fromier Uhig
