Phenomenon.

The strongest proof that the institutions of our happy country are smiled upon by a wise Providence, is, that previous to any great event or transaction some token is given of these transactions as for- runners. Not a great time since a tremendous discovery took place near the residence of Gen. Cass in Michigan, in the way of an eruption in the earth,-- scarcely giving th;s phenomen time to cease before another, we learn has been presen- ted. During the entire week before last large Eagle has been discovered ho : vering over and in the vicinity of the resi- dence of Gen. Cass, circumstance that have struck many with astonishment in that vicin ty, as the Eagle is a fowl but seldom discovered in that region of coun : frv

Election.

NORTH CAROLINA We have not re- ceived the full returns from this state, there being one county to hear from, and Manly, the whig candidate for Governor is about 342 ahead of Reed, the Democratic candi- date. The Democrats, it is generally conceded, we believe, will have majori- ty on joint ballot of about in the Legisla- ture so much for the land of persimmons. Old Rip vanwinkle has just awoke from her slumbcrs. Sure enough the Prairie fire of which Mir. Morehead alluded to in the Philadelphia Convention has spread with tremendous ravages over the old North state, for it has burnt the hair off all the coons tails in that state but about 342. The next great Prairie fire that takes place in old sleepy Hollow, about the 7th of November, we would not be the least surprised if some more tails were awfilly burned,
 KENTUcKY.--Crittenden is said to have been elected Governor by about 1000 ma joriiy.-Clay's majority was over 9000!
 lLLINoIs.--Harris (D.) elected to Con- gross in room of Lincoln (Whig). Col. Baker W.) it is thought has been elected again from his old District. A. c. French CD. has been elected Governor, without opposition.
 INDIANA.--Democrats have gained 10 members of the Legislature from the whig region of the State.
 MIssoURI.-St. Louis City and County has given democratic ma ajority of 250 Jefferson County 200, a gain for the Dem ocrats on the vote of lS44.

Cass. Mr. Wise has put this whig thunler to rest. These poor fellows will have to hatch up something else against Gen. Cass.--and something two. that there is no possibility of obtain- ing no living witness to testify to its base ness. We will endeavor to give the Card of MT. Wise in our next paper.

For District Eiector.

It has been suggested to us by many of the Democrats of Coosa, to bring to the attention of the several Electors of the State the name of Frcdrick F. Foscue Esq. as suitable gentleman, to fill the vacan- cy in the 3d District, caused by the re sig nation of Col. Go ttrell. Mir. Foscue, is young gentleman of talent, and we are confident no one could discharge the du- ties of an Elector better than he could, and we would therefore, in accordance with this request of his Democratic friends of Coosa, take pleasure in bring ing his name before the consideration of the several Electors for that station. We think his selection would be quite satis- factory.

6T The whigs are the greatest people in the world to console themselves after a defeat. This faculty can be accounted for though from the fact that nothing else but defeat ever attends them. No sooner were the result of the recent election in North Carolina known than pretty specimens of reasons were being given-That it was not fair test of parties--that the whig Candidate was on the unpopular side of some local question which the people of the Slate of persimmons and Turpen- tine did not like.
 So will it be in November next, these fellows will have to console themselves on the defeat of their party Candidate, Gen. Taylor, in consequence of some grand To- cal cause. After November next the most numerous of excuses will be given.

Warrenton Discussion.

A pair of Whig sub. electors wandered off from town she other day, and on last Monday, found themselves in Warrcnton, ready to give light--that is, Whig light to the ''dear people" of that neighborhood. But there they found worthy and success ful antagonists in the persons of the Hon. James NJ. Calhoun and B. F. Saffold, Esq. Wm. M. Lapsley, Esq, one of the gen. tlemen referred to, spoke first and was replied to by MT. Saffold. We have no account of the debate, but we understand that our young Democratic friend proved himself more than match for the expert. enced gentleman who boasts of the honor of having measured swords with Mr. Polk, on the stump in Tennessee, in years gone by.
 Col. Vim. H. Norris, the. other wan. dercr, spoke next. He was replied to by Judge Calhoun. As speculation has been rife as to what course this gentleman would pursue, we will give the substance of his present views, as he stated them, and as they were reported to us.
 Mir. Calhoun said he was once for Tay- Tor, but, after his nomination, finding him associated with such man as Fillmore, he could not vote for him that Gen. Cass was not his choice, but when he saw the fate of the Compromise bill, he was deci- def; that Cass, northern friends had done all they could to settle this question-Tay. lor's northern friends had done all they could against it. He denounced the eight southern whigs who voted against the com promise, as traitors, and said that between the two tickets he had no longer any hesi- tation-CASS and BUTLER for him.
 We are rejoiced to learn that gentle man of such distinguished ability has come to the wise determination to support Cass and Butler, and that he is ready to give them all the aid Tn his power.
 We are also gratified to learn that all 'of the "Souih Carolina Democrats" as they are called, arc not only for the ticket, but active.-Dallas Gazette.

TIE JIG Is Up.--We entertained the most sanguine hope of the success of the Democratic nominees unti, the following strong argument fell before our attention, which is going the rounds of the whig newspapers, and attributed to senator Cor win. The Democrats may hush up now, as the qualification of the whig candidate has come to light at last. Mir. Corwin speaking in laudation of Gen. Taylor said:
 "fIe has not slep beneath roof for four years, his belly and back are covered with ticks, and his legs and arms with moss."
 The old man has been troubled more with politicks lately than any thing else. There are good many who don't like to take him ''on tick" entirely.

The Mobile Register, in alluding to the "big-blow" ot Billys trumpet, in which he makes direct personal issue between himself and Mr. Sanford, says:
 We recived by the mail, on Saturday, the address of Mir. YANCEY to the people ol Alabama, about which there has been for several days past so much gleefnl chuck ling by the parties who " re favored with the perusal of the only-probably proof sheet-that had been sent to the city. It is certainly an extraordinary document, and it will receive the attention due to its merits, from the senior editor of this pa- per- As, however, there are issues of material importance pending between him and Mir. Yancey, involving grave matter, of fact, if not of personal veracity, num- Der of days must elapse before the neces- sary testimony can be adduced. In the meantime, the readers of this paper and the public generally, may rest assured that the statements made by MT.
