" A Good Enough Whig for
HaiHm.''

iaiEn.o
Mr.. EDIToR:-Of course your Whig
readers have seen Mr.. Geyer's letter 10
Mr.. Broadhead, and now know that
the Whig Senator from Missouri makes
no Test on the Power Of Congress over
Slavery in the Territories-never in.
quires at the polls, the opinions of
Whig candidate upon the question:
votes for wings that he knows admit
the would have voted for
John G. Miller against the field, if he
had resided in this county last election
--and thinks Mr.. Clay (who has always
conceded the power is "a good enough
Whig for him."
All this is plainly set down in the
letter, and the letter is expressly writ
ten for publication, SO that all who run
may read-apd all who read may un.
derstaLd. So far, there is no difficulty;
it is all plain enough--but yet some
things have occurred to US on reading
the letter TO which we wish 10 call
your attention.
1t must be admitted, without intend.
ing any disrespect TO any one, that as
soon as the Senatorial Election was &C.
compIishcd, Gen. Clark, one Of our
Representatives, began TO cackle, like
a young pulle,, tha. had just laid her
first egg, and through his peculiar
friends, to spread it abroad through
the community, that the doctrine he had
advanced last summer, and for which
he had been so rudely assailed by the
old Federal Wings, as be called those
with whom he had been acting polite.
ally all his life, was True Wing Doc.
trine--was approved by the great mass
of the Wing Members at Jefferson
City--and had finally triumphcd, most
sgnaIly in the election of Geyer to the
United States Senate--and that those
who differed from him, were now
marked, end iadelIibly branded as 'tree
Soilers," as he was pleased 10 call them.
Surely, Mr.. Editor, here is some
mistake, and we look to you for the
explanation--ior Geyer tells US in his
letter, that this is not TVhig Doctrine
and nerer ,UaS--that man may be
"a good enough ,chig," who actually be.
lieves Congress possesses this terrible
power--and yet Clark says Geyer is
the very man he picked out for the
Senate-he put him in nomination--he
stood by him during forty long ballot
ings--and, ifthe whole truth is must be
told, he, as he and his particular friends
very modeslly assure us, was mainly in.
strumental in securing Ceyer's election
1t seems therefore, Gcyer is "a good
enough whig" for Clark, but John G
Miller was not, Green was his VIII: G
candidate for Congress- nor is Mr.. Clay
yet Clay and Miller are "good enough
wings" for Geyer--Geyer ,cants no bet
ter ,OhigS than either--Geyer has sup
ported Clay, all his life, and would have
voted for Miller against The field if h'
had only lived last summer when Clarl
lived. Pray, Mr. Editor, explOin--w
are in sore perplexity on this subject.

H0w the Boy kac,c his Father.-Ata

amusing incident occurred. Ii was re.

which resulted in b!acl eye and sui,

Public improvements in washington.

its recent session, for the extension, improve
ment, and adornment of the public buildings
and grounds in this city, have been most liberal,
and made, too, with just and intelligent dis
elimination. In abiding to this subject, we
should be doing injustice were we to omit to
speak of the services of our able and worthy
Mayor, WALTER LENox, esq, and the COM
mittoes of the city councils, whose position
authorized them to act in the matter. We
know that those gentlemen labored most per-
severingly with the committees Of Congress for
the accomplishment Of these objects, Of so much
importance to our city-and reference to the
Civil and Diplomatic Appropriation bill will
show with what success.

Owing to the pressure of other matter upon
our columns, we have been compelled, much
to our regret, to intermit the publication Of
this able document. Now that Congress have
adjourned, and we have more space, we shall
resume it. Our western and southern friends
and all who are in love with the theories of
free trade, will have ample time before an
other session to deliberate upon the facts which
it exhibits; and will have an excellent oppor-
tunity to explain them away, if it is possible
to do so. AS yet we have seen no attempt to
answer Mr.. CAREY's argument, and we be-
leve it to be unanswerable.
We shall publish, in day or two, the third
chapter of the pamphlet, which will be found
fully equal in interest and conclusiveness to
while, in order to show our readers what is
thought of this production abroad, we copy
from the London Standard, of February 8, the
following paragraph:
"We have been drawn more especially to
notice these matters at this moment. upon the
perusal of one of the ablest documents it has
been our fortune TO meet with, on the question
of protection and free trade, received by the last
mail from the United States. Were the ques-
ton brought before the British Legislature in
the same able manner, in all the practical de-
tails, as by MIR. CAREY, the author of the publ
cation alluded to, Ga letter addressed to ex-
Secretary free-trade Walker, last month"; it
would, we humbly conceive, smash our free
traders IN toto, and convince ignorance the most
obstinate and prejudice the most blind. We
regret that our limits for this day prevent us
from giving, at greater length, extracts from
the publication in question than what follow,
but we will not lose sight of this matter The
able author points out, in manner quite unan-
swerable, the objects of the free-traders in both
countries, and especially in this, and shows by
facts and figures connected with the trade Of
both countries, and which cannot be gainsad,
that all the measures and predictions of the free
traders have proved utterly faIlacious, and that
they are tending TO the serious injury Of both
countries, and to the ruin and degradation of
this country especially. He takes up the sub
ject, not only as a patriotic American, but as a
man of common sense and master of details, as
regards every country, and shows that our free
trade theories and principles are utterly and
ruinously wrong"

The universal favor, says the Raleigh IN. CO.
Star, with which the late massage of the President
has met from all parties. except few of the ex-
trcmes both North and South, demonstrates most
clearly that he takes truly national and patriotic
position. On such subjects have, for some time,
agtated the country, all pnrty ties sink into OBJ
livion. and all good men and patriots are willing
10 support him who il ready 70 maintain the invio-
Liability of the Constitution and the supremacy Of
the laws. Tina President in the whole Of this try
ing contest. has shown himself equal to the emsr-
gency, ready, willing, and able to meet any re-
sponsibility imposed upon him by virtue Of his
high office. and fully prepared, however trying
might be the duty, to enforce prompt and ready
obedience to law. We take il, that he il q
man fully impressed with the high obligations
which rest upon him, to be faithful to his country
and true to her institutions, and, if we have not
greatly mistaken his disposition, he will not shrink
from any responsibility long as he directs the
helm Of State His administration has been marked
by more practical ability, more devotion to the in
terests Of the country, and less yielding to party
influences, than any administration we have had
for some time. Wearc SO fully warranted in saying
this, that cannot find censure even from his po-
litcal adversaries, they having the candor and the
magnanimity even to bestow praise on him for his
patriotic efforts in behalf Of the Union. We like
such President, have great confidence in
him, for we can but be impressed that he is consci
entious in the discharge of his duties, and faithful
in complying with his obligations to his country.

Kentucky-the wing Nominations.

The nominations OF Messrs Dixon and THoMp-
SON (says the Louisville JournnD by the VINO
convention, on the s2d Of February, has, we have
no doubt, been well received generally by the
Wings throughout the Commonwealth.
The convention having performed its duty, it
now devolvcs on the Wings of the State to perform
THERE, by yielding to the nominees a hearty and
thorough support. The convention has selected
two gentlemen, able popular, and energetic, as
candidates of the party, and il is the duty of the
Wings to see that they elected by very decided
majorites. II is particularly desirable that the
Wing majority this year shall be large. IL ought
to be counted by thousands. as it used to be many
years ago. The Wings have the ability to elect
their candidates by at least ten thousand majority,
and they ought to scc that such majority shall be
secured
