hands of those who send them to Wash. lington. The repetition of this stale and exploded plea at this time, is strong add- tional proof, that the whig party is but that which so vehemently opposed the ad- minstrations of Jefferson and Madison, under an alias of course.
 It was supposed that the Senate, yes tcrday, were so long in secret session, dis cussing some point bearing on our rela- tions with Mexico-the propriety of re. moving the injunction of secrecy, it was thought. l am, however, inclined to think that it had nominations under considera- ton, though none of particular impor- tance.
 The Executive is probably essentially bothered with applications for the four Chargeships lately erected. It will es- cape next to seot.free if there are not more than twenty patriotic gentlemen applying tor each. For some of the Charegeships filled within the last two years, it is said there were fifty applicants, due propor- tion being whigs of all stripes. l fancy the President will nominate Gen. Shields for the mission to Rome, for which post he is eminently qualified.
 It is declared in whig circles-Clay whig circles-that Senator Reverdy John- son has "quit the party" owing to the manner in which he was lately brow-beat- en and insulted by the friends of MT. Clay, when attempting to address the great Ball tfhore Taylor meeting, thst was to have been. Certain it is, that he is perfectly furious even yet, over the matter. How ever, staunch whigs-! !or- the sake e-oEwhig- principle in Washington, are blessing their stars that the Senator intends taking himself off. He is far too independent for their purposes. The man among them venturing to have an opinion adverse to the dictd of their leaders, is not the gentleman for them.
 Some of the Wings will get into trouble with Foote of Mississippi, before long, The federal Senators stand in remarkable awe of him, for he weids an oratorical tomahawk that inficts mercilcss wounds. They dare not attempt to meet his points. So, it appears, they are endeavoring to have him 'written down" in letters from Washington. The probability is, that he will in the end learn who among federal Senators are at the bottom of the islanders being thus heaped upon him. If he does then we will see sights.
 Nothing of interest transpired in the House to-day, where private bills were being considered.

The court of inquiry, in the case oi
 Gen. Scott, Pillow and Duncan, commen-
 ced its sitting on the 11fth ut. in the city of Mexico. Gen. Worth withdrew his
 charges against Gen. Scott during the 2d
 days proceedings. Scott withdrew his charges against Duncan and Pillow, but IS told Fuss and Feathers" seemed to be so obstropulous and venomous against the Government, under which he has been serving, and whose commission he bears, and stating that he could prove "Pillow guilty of allthe charges" an investigation was insisted upon on the part of Gen. Pill low. The court, on the third day of it's proceedings adjou. ned until next day, and as Mir. Trist was considered an important witness, it was supposed it would then ad- journ over until time could be taken to ob- tain Trist's testimony, and probably it would adjourn to meet at some point in the United States. During the entire proceed ings Gen. Scott cvinced great anger, ana let no occasion pass by without expressing the greatest feelings of malice against the Executive-conduct that we regret to see, as we think it was such as lilly become Gen. Scott. If he can persecute poor Pillow, he thinks by that means he will be enabled to wreak his vengeance upon the Executive.

 Already the federal press is hard at work showering praises upon the speech delivered on the day before yesterday by Webster, against the administration, the war, and the acquisition of territory. This is all humbug, aye, and of the most arr rant kind. Stripped of his usual allow ance of roorbacking, and of his attempts at low wit, beiit.ing Nr. Tomkins of Mis-. sisslppi, rather than the United States Sen ator, who brides himself upon being the most exalted member of that body, and the effort was bare protest against an as. sumed injury to the rights of the old States the original Thirteen grow out ol the II admission of other partners into the Union. Really, there is nothing in this argument, literally nothing. It was urg. ed quite as eloquently when MT. Web. ster's party railed against the acquisition of Louisiana, with the prospect of the admission of sparsely settled States to be carved out of that territory. The world knows how signally the prophecies ol evil to flow from that ponderous box have failed ofaccomplishment, and will therefore be the more ready to take MT. Webster's resort in this case to the old saw, at its true value. The Senate of the United states, so far as the representatives from New States therein are concerned, has proved itself to be cminently National body. The very men who cry out against the prospect of suchinlury in time to come, are eternally schemingr to secure some sectional or state advantage, generally for the profit of the ccapital concentrated in the

The Governors Election.

Contrary to all our expectations, il
we have not certainly elected Col.
Weller, we have come so near it that
It'll a glorious triumph for the democra-
cy, and insures this state for Cass and
Butler by majority ranging from l5,'
900 ia 10000.
By the returns OF the assessors Of
this county, we can poll at least ALSO
votes, and yet we gave at the late elec'
ton but $3.50; leaving some l,4OO vo'
ters away from the polls. Had these
fourteen hundred voters been at the
polls on the 10th, WelIer's majority in
this county would have been at least
1860, even supposing that the propor'
ton of democrats and wings that re-
NAMED at home was in the same ratio
as those that went to the election.
Democrats Of Monroe, you who le'
mained at home on the day Of the elec'
ton, how will you feel if the gallant
Weller is defeated by only one or two
hundred Of majority, when you might
have elected him'
Come up, then. to the polls On the 7th
of November, every man. Let not o
single voter stay away from the polls.
We can give 100 majority for Cass
and Butler, when the Tree soil vote is
taken from the wings. There is no more
doubt of this, than that the sun shines.
Why will you be SO luke-warm?

by every means TO rally the free soil

will not veto the Proviso if elected.

ton, at Morrsto wn, say, day or two
since, that one ofthe delegates from this
county, pledged Mr.. Hunter to the con-
vehtion as Van Buren man. Now.
unless we are much deceived somebody
& cheated either the wings or the

that it is tie Van Buren men. Mr..
Hunter is known in this county TO be a
Taylor whig.
Some how or other the wings always
avail themselves Of the supper. of every
faction that springs up in the country"
whether anti.masons, abolitionists, ma
tive Americans, free soil men, or so.
called anti.clilue men. AS matter Of
policy some prominent whig embraces
some new doctrine, calls off all the
democrats he can, and then prevails on
his followers, after keeping up an organ
ization a few years, to join with the
wings upon some man, whom, he says,
will carry out their views. Such was
the case in the late election in Pennsyl.
vania...the wings ant'masons. abolition
lists, native Americans, and free soil
men all united upon Johnson for Gov
ernor; and in this Congressional district,
the wings, free soil men, and se.caled
anti.clique men united upon Hunter.
Therefore we say, somebody is cheated.
