last and the other in place of Hon. Arthur p
Bagby, whose term will expte on the 4th OF
March, l649. Mr.. Lewis we presume, will be
reelected; but poor Mr.. Bogby is in deal Of
trouble, on account of the besotted folly with
which he sustained the proposal to censure Gen
Taylor. The infatuated man, it seems, not only
gave his vote on that side, but lie even went so
far as to denounce General Taylor HIMSELF and
everything connected with the captulation at
Monterey. Under these circumstances, there
fore, we suspect tina. the Honorable Arthur Z.
Bagby will. in no event. be re-annexed to the
U. 5. Senate.-Iribune.
"OLD VIRGINIA NEVER TIRE."-The Rich
mond Republican expresses some mlsgivings
whether this old saying will be borne out in the
matter of volunteering. After nearly two months
had elapsed from the date of Governor Smiths
call for only two companies of volunteers but 90
men were known TO have enlisted. This beg
carly display gives token of fatigue.
II it had been a call for volunteers TO accept
office, out Of the reach of danger, the whole loco
foco party in the State, "ardent as a southern
sun can make them," would have been IN the
field long ogo.-.4tbany Journal
COMING OUT Samuel Smallwood, Esq. a
distinguished "Democrat" of Washington N. c.,
having proclaimed his purpose to vote for Mr.. r.
). Donnell, the Wing candidate for Con-
gress in that District has been warmly as
sailed by the Locofoco paper published in New
bern. From Mr.. Snallwoods reply TO one of
these assaults we make this extract:
81 did say that | would vote for Mr.. Donnell.
| say so now; and shall not fail my word. NV
reasons ale briefly these IL know Mr.. d. TO be
honest, capable and faithful and | believe
that the administration of the country, in the
hands of Mr.. Polk, has become SO corrupt that
unless men are elected to Congress who will en-
dcavor to bring the Government back TO its an.
Client purity, there will speedily be an end to our
boosted liberty; and | am pleased that in this
view am sustained by such Democrats as SEN
ators Calhoun and Butler of South Carolina,
Yulee and Westcott of Florida, and the Hon.
w. Ii. Haywood. late Senator from North Caro-
lima, and by host of honest democrats through
ovt the country, as the late elections show most
conclusively.
"Would to God there were more such states
men and patriots in the Democratic party as Mr..
Calhoun, and a less number of small men like
Folk, elevated TO high stations. Then the
country would not be now 81 tfering under this
terrible scourge of war, and Democracy would
be disgraced by no such motto on its banner, as
Ito the victors belong the spoils.' voted, it is
true, for Mr.. Polk, but deeply regret it-and |
solcmnly believe that nine-tenths of those who
voted as did, regret it too"

REvULsIoN IN THE Corn TRADE. The
Journal Of Commerce says:
"'Ihe price of corn is now so different from
the expectations of the owners far West, that the
charges are more than the article is WORTH
Large parcels of corn and some other produce
have been abandoned to the forwarders, and ma
ny cargoes the consgnees would sell for the
charges, The original purchase money IS there
fore a total loss and where the owners are able.
they will suffer still fcrher loss"
The editor of the Nashville Union, who de-
clared that, so long as the present tariff re-
mains undisturbed, the price of provisions must
remain HIGH" can, perhaps, explain to the corn
growers of Tennessee how this fall was occa-
stoned. The new tariff is in successful opera
ton, SO the locofocos tell us, and in the same
breath, they say that farm produce, sent here for
a foreign market, is dead loss TO the Western
sender, and that if he is able, he will have 10
pay something besides. This looks like being
obliged to pay for being hanged. Under the old
tariff, the farmers, we know, got something for
their corn; but under the new law, the free
traders say it has become worse than nothing to
the Western owner.--.N Y. Express.
