How extremely anxious the Loco Foco leaders aro to persuade the Whigs Hint they cannot run Mr. Clny in 1844, with any chance of success! How kind it is in that party to tender us this friendly ad vice! They really soem to think that we are insen sible to our true condition, and that if they did not tell us Mr. Clay's prospects for the Presidency were blasted, we should never discover the fact ourselves. How should they bo so prescient on the subject, whilst we remained in ignorance of our weaknesses and misfortunes ? Why, say Ihey, don't you see how Die elections aro going? Mr. Clay's namo carries no enthusiasm with it the people dislike him tlio abolitionists are his sworn foes; he's beat wherever you attempt to rally under his standard i you had heller drop him and lake up some other man ! How dis interested! How generous to give us these timely nnd prudent warnings ! Indeed, one might apprehend that these chivalrous enemies of ours would feel grieved if we did not hoed their admonitions, renounce Mr. Clay, and unite upon some other candidate with whom wo should bo certain to conquer and thus deprive them of tlio spoils which they would otherwise win and divide among themselves. Unfortunately, it does not appear that there are many Whigs disposed to profit by this counsel. In tlio first place, they are not much discouraged them-eolvesi and in the second, they aro rather distrustful of theso attentions. They would rather see the Loco Focos take a little of their own medicine, before they make trial of it The Loco Focos oro not much addicted to the practice of abandoning their men, simply becauso they may havo failed at an election in sustaining them. They adopt Mr. Clay's advice they "pick their flints and try again." When Mr. Clay has been candidate for the Presidency, an I has proved himself or his principles so unpopular that but six States will throw their votes for him, it will be time to think of withdrawing him from the turf. If tho Loco Focos can venture to support Mr. Van Btiren again, after hi overthrow and total demolition in 1810, with tho whole power and patronage of the government in his hands, we think tho Whigs may bo pardoned for adhering to Mr. Clay, tho exponent and Representative of their principles, even though no have slipped up here in Ohio, in a contest in which he had little or no part, The Loco Focos do not think so meanly of their own men, as to discard them for being beaten. 1 hey go for Mr. Van Uuren again, notwithstanding his very extrcmo elevation, near the sources of Halt River, by the Whig surges of I? 10. They have just elect-cd Wilsing Shannon, although ho wa olio of the nlupwrockcd mariners of that samo disastrous year. They aro running Mr. Botick for Governor in New York, though he too was in the s nne boat, two yours ince. And they arc running Marcus Morton for the seventeenth time in the old Uay State. Now we like this, as much as wo detest Loco Focoism. It is its one virtue, linked to a thousand crimes ! " Shall Whig fidelity prove a tie of feebler tenure, than Lo-co Foco honor a commodity which an old musty proverb somehow connects with "thieves?" .Vmy, nay wo. We shall run Mr. Clay for tho Presidency, if he il nominated hj) the National Cog emus, not because ho can outstrip all other men in the crub race of popularity, but because wo know tho mas know that wo can confide in him knuw that ho is an enlightened and patriotic Statesman knuw that he is the physician to demo a suitable remedy for the disjointed times and know that it would bo bootless to labor for reform without wo can make "assurance doubly sure," in the character of the in-etrumcnts whom the people employ to reinstate tho constitution, nnJ bring back the government to the Republican track. If, as Whigs, wo can elect any body, we can elect Mr. Clay j and if wo cannot elect Mr. Clay, wo cannot elect any body. At least w o might better bo defeated, than succeed with such a mortal traitor as John Tyler, or indeed with any man whom we do not know to bo "ovoiy inch a Whig." Tho Loco Foco will therefore sue that all their kindncu is lost upon us. Wo ask no favors, and shall yield none. Wo go for what is right, fearless- iy. ' Mlnle Hon. The Journal says Ohio State Bond aro selling at New York at (i8j, and insinuates that it is in ennse-ipicnco of the recent election. Pre-h:iis it is because tho Kelleyites have confessed their inability to pay tlio January interest unless the) can poach upon next year' revenue! Statesman. . The Statesman is quite oracular on the subject of State Stocks and the payment ol interest. I here is au intimation hero tho first that we have heard that the January interest is not to be paid. If there was any tendency before to a decline, we think tin. declar ation, by a high State officer and the mouth-pier o uf Hie paity now and for a year post in power ill the State, will not have the effect to stop the declension. Slato credit is at best but a delicate affair, and can. not fail to be injured by the attempts uf such slaver ors as Medary to meddle with it. Hut mho is it that confesses inability to p'ty the January interest? Sicak mt,0.tiilp! This is tlio first " confession " that has como to our knowledge, to maintain the public credit, but wo had no conception that the crisis was so near at hand. Wo supposed tho means of paying the January interest were not wanting, and that the demands on the treasury at that time would be promptly met ilitt if there is to be a gamo of juggling got up for political purposes, our expectations and tho expectations of every man who wishes well to tho State, are destined to bo dis -ppointcd. We could hnpo that it may be otherwise, but the lurking glco which peeps out of the little paragraph in the Statesman, leaves small ground for hope. A Voice from Ui-lwwnrct At a mooting of tho cifuenj of Troy, in Delaware county, the following among othor resolutions woro adopted : Resolved, That, in tho opinion of this meeting, the present Legislature ought to reduce their wages to two dollars a day ; also, the salary or fee of every other public officer in tho Stato in the same proportion." Resolved, That tho Legislature have the power, and ought to bring about and establish a sound system of Hanking, sufficiently liberal to Bankers to induce them to bank, and at the same timo under such restrictions as will make their issues sufe in the hands of the people." We suspect gentlemen you voted for tlio wrong ticket or at least that the wrong ticket was elected, up your way, to have either of theso objects attended to. Tho State Printer would bo unwilling to have his income reduced six or eight thousand dollars, although ho very officiously recommends economy to others. As to tho reduction of the pay of the members from three to two dollar a day, that was attempted by the Whigs lust year and defeated by McNulty and Byington j and as those fellows stand justified and tho Whigs condemned, you pray in vain lor retrenchment there. THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 10, M4!i rr.ldcnlinl Movement., Col. Jonssos is still drumming up hi forces at the East. He has traversed a large part of Pennsylvania, made an incursion into New York, passed down through Utica and Albany, furgetting to visit Mr. Van Buren in bis philosophic retirement at Kin- derhook, and made his way back again to Philadelphia, whore ho was received with military honors. Tlio last wo heard of him, ho was at Wilmington, Delaware, where ho was received in u handsome manner by tlio military and citizens generally. Col. J'a. objccls in visiting Pennsylvania at this limo, aro countenanced by Guv. Porter, who is ambitious of being placed on tho ticket for tho Vice Presidency with him. Mr. Vrbler. This gentleman was in New York on Friday, where he was wailed uon by the Chamber of Commerce with a complimentary uddrcss and felicitations upon tlio ratification of tho Treaty. Mr. W. replied at some length, but refrained from nny allusions to tho political topics of the day. An hundred guns were fired in commemoration of tho ratification of tho Treaty. Winter AppronrliliiH. There were traces of snow on the roofs of build ing this morning the first that has visited us this season. To-day it is raw and gusty, with thick squalls of snow, reminding us of the depths ofwinter. Tkc l.nngnnifc l.oromollrr. null I'nlw Carnsnrnnr Ut-terlor. This is tlio title of a neat looking paicr, which Mr. J. F. Dbaoish, of this city, proposes to publish semi-monthly, one number of which has been issued, to bo devoted to the object indicated by its title. The editor appears to bo well versed in tho science which ho proposes to teach on this novel principle, and has an original method of treating his subject, which would seem to render it less dry and tedious than wo found it in our school-boy days. Editor generally would do well to patronize the work, and we think it might be recommended to some legislators, whoso public efforts have fallen under ourobservation. nnnk I'ominlMlonrr. Two of these worthies wcro in our plaro week before last, examining into the condition of the Western Reserve Hank, to ascertain, we suppose, whether it would be safe for a bill holder, if such a person can be found, to hold on to its paper over niuht What a splendid humbug is this! the banks of tins State have narrowed their business down williin the smallest possible limits, and many nf them aro nrranging to close their business, as their charters expire on the first of January next, and yet these men greedy tor their three dollars a day and roast oeel, are traversing the Stato to examine into and reiort iiKn the condition of hanks having little or no paper in circulation.

Well did Mr. Adams worn the country in his recent speech against the designs of Mr. Tyler, to annex Texas to tho Union, and thereby securo to the slaveholding South, a prcponderacy in tho Government Already arc there uneipiivornl proofs of the truth of his apprehensions. Noah's Union, is tiie accredited organ of the President in the city of New York. It speaks his sentiments. I lis son arc its confidential currcsiondcntii. Now, tho last number of that paper concludes a long article as follows : If Mexico refuses to acknowledge the indepen-denco of Texas, and is determined to invade ami subjugate that Republic, our connto is clear and decided nne. a morse nrirrd unon lis fiv rnnimon that there was the slightest difficulty about meeting danger anil self-preservation. Texas must e ix- Uie January interest What is meant by "poaching on Iht nert year's revenue 1" Aro tho creditors of tlio Slate to havo their dividends withheld from them, under the ahallow protext that tho money in the Treasury belongs to " next ycar'a revenue?" Ha tho Auditor discharged his duty by laying taxes sufficient with the canil tolls to meet tho interest on tho public debt? Or have tho Fund Commissioners misapplied tho means placed at their disposal by the Auditor? If default is threatened, it is becauso tho Auditor ha not performed his duty, or the Fund Commissioner havo transcended their. The law which empower tho Auditor to collect taxe (ufli-cient to pay tho interest on the public debt, oiler tho surplus toll havo been applied lo that purKiae, is inierative, wo bcliove, in it provisions. Who then is in fault? Who is to blame, and where doe the blame lio ) We are aware that tlio two years past have been unfavorable for laying taxe. Loco Foco legislation ha nearly (tripped tlio people of the ability to pay. Tho actual amount of tho circulation of the Banks, is less than tlio sum total to bo collected for taxi, and hut a small portion of that is in tho hands of those who are assessed. Tho Statesman endeavor to mix up Gov. Cor-win's namo with this question of paying tho January interest What ho he to do with it ? lie ho no power in the premise. Il is no part of hi duty to lay or collect taxes, or to suporviso tho payment to our public creditor. Then w bat means the Slate- man by lugging his namo into tho business? If those who are entrusted with tins duty, have violated or neglected the trust reposed in them, is tho responsibility to he cast on his shoulder ? Is the Auditor to be relieved in tins way, of what may be attached to him ? Indefinite as are the insinuations of tho Statesman, there ia anmelhing in thorn of an alarming character. Of the prudence of putting forth such statements at tiii limo we have nothing to lay, for wo have no knowledge that the aourco whence they come was ever imbued with any of that quality to boast of, or that any consideration of publio interest, in that quarter, would cvor bo permitted to stand in tho way of a party advantage. Wo have had no confidence in the ability or disposition of tlio Loco Foco party SEXKH TO THE U.NHTn CiTATE. We protest now, at tlio very outset, against this unhallowed plot to destroy tho bahutco nf the Union, and to subject the free State to a slaveholding domination. Wo supimrt no parly, no administration, no man that countenances it for one moment. Hut will war against each and all until they arc utterly stripped of every means of harm. 7'ne I'ninn run-no! and trill not Jtirrirc the annexation of Texas six months ! It is tho duty af every northern freeman, to take a hold and decided ground at unee. Once before, this scheme Ins been crushed, and it must be again. Every northern legislature must adopt the strongest resolutions against it Let this bo distinctly understood in tho election of inenibor of tho Michigan legisla ture. We will vouch for it that no W hig will countenance or permit the admission of Texas. How is it with the Loco loco nominees? V ill they pledgo themselves to resist it? This is the most iuiortant of all question. Texas would make fee or six slave-holding Stales. Lucoroco Prices. Since tho election Wheat at Zonesville has fallen to fortu eenls per bushel, and Flour to $'i-75 per barrel. Wo have been informed that some lots of wheat were sold nt Nowcomerstown, on the Cnnal, a few davs since, at Mirfy-srtvn eenls per pnshi'i, and very dull at that.

We published an extract, on Tuesday, from Birmingham (English) paper, in which it was stated that a single manufacturer in that city had notified an hundred of his hands that he could not employ them any longer in consequence of the passago of the American Tariff. Now wo put it to tho condor of tiny honest and intelligent man in this country, whe ther such a fact does not go to show that tho Tariff operate beneficially upon American interest. It is obvious that before the 1 nriff was passed, wo were paying for tho labor of these operatives. We were buying tho products of their industry : and not only of their industry, but of all tlio machinery which was manned by them ; and in paying for that labor, we contributed to the support of their families, to the payment of their rents, taxes, marketing, &c, die, &c. What claims havo they upon in for their up- port? Do they buy any tiling of tho farmers of Ohio ? Not a (hilling' worth ! They take none of our flour, none of our pork and beef, none of our iron or coal. Tho commodities which wo purchase of tliciu are not paid for by any thing wo produce ; nothing but gold and silver will they take in exchange. Of that we have but little left to spare. Will it bo any positivo detriment to us not to continue this trade with tho manufacturer of Birmingham ? We see not bow it is to injure us. He, and the men whom ho formerly employed, will suffer severely ; but it harms not us. Wo shall cease to send them our gold and cilvcr: it will bo retained in the country. Thorc are some people in Mussachusets and Rhode Islund engaged in the samo business, and they will supply us with the articles we formerly obtained from Birmingham. They don't ask lis for our gold and silver for them: they aro willing to take gruin and provisions in payment for any thing wo want Thoso people occupy an unproductive soil : if they were to devoto themselves to tillage, it would cost them several days' labor to produce a bushel of wheat and as many weeks to put up a bar rel of pork. W beat nnd Pork hero nro almost spontaneous productions. They can be raised with one piartcr of tho labor they would cost in New Eng land. Indeed wo can send flour, pork, hams, lard, beef, &C, to them by means of the cnnals nnd rail roads, much cheaper than they can produce those ar ticles themselves. How naturally does it follow, then, that we of the West, Bhould act our kindred in tho East to manufacturing. They call turn out s thousand things which arc indispeusablo to our comfort, and will be glad to get our staples in payment But if wo would not buy these things of the home manufacturer, wu should havo to send to England for them, and send our gold and silver to pay for them, too. Now which is tho most advantageous for us; totrado with our own countrymen, or with the British? To buy of thoso who buy of us or buy of those who refuse to take any thing we con raise ? We did not, however, take up our pen at this lime to arguo so plain a question in this formal manner, hut simply to introduce an nrtielo which wo find floating in tho newspapers, and which contains some important intelligence respecting the effect which the Tariff passed in August by Congress has had in some parts of tho country. T ho article we allude to is appended hereto. It ib from an authentic (onrco, being prepared for and published in a paper printed at Albany, N. Y., and devoted to tho interests of Mechanics; a paper that take no part in political controversies whatever. On reading it we could not but feel struck with the contrast which it afforded to tho tono of tho English pamr before referred to Tiie English paper was groaning over the consequen ces uf this American Tariff, because, in a single in stance, il had lurned an hundred men out of employ incut; but the American paper wo rejoicing, bo- cause thousands had been matched from idleness and restored to,honesl industry. J'noiisvinrrj.' Nay, it is computed that Hi;snnEns or Thousands had been made happier and belter by the change ! And yet what is the languago of Loco Focoism towards a measure of such beneficial and fur-reach ing tendency ? What say the Loco Foco leaders and orators tho demagogue who prosper by stir-ring up the evil passions of tho community, and ar raying friends and neighbors against each other hy their unmeaning din about " Democrats " and " Federals" What says the oracular Statesman? Why that this Tan If is an evil, a curse, a demoralizing, ruinous, anti-republican scheme of policy; it is all these in tho singlo word "Whig" it is a Whig measure, and must therefore bo repeated! Yes! it miuf bo REPEALED ! The two hundred thousand native citizens who are now earning a comfortable subsistence, in the workshops of the cast, must be turned looso again, to shift for themselves, whilst wo take the British pauper, tho British capitalist, and British merchant into favor, nnd impoverish ourselves by trailing exclusively with them.

But to the article to which w c have rclcrrcd in the foregoing remarks: From the N. Y. Stale Mti bnnie, a iieulral journal.) BKTTKU TIMi:s. Wo havo the means of knowing something of the general distress and gloom which has pervaded the ranks uf tho mechanic and manufacturers, for it is among tlieni that our circulation extends and in watching their condition and prosjiect, we have had occasion to observe how great ha been tho depression under which they have struggled during the past season. It i( reasonable to believe that there were at one limo over lira humlred thousand persons out of einplov inent in llio manufactories of Now York and New England alono, and many of those who were lortunalc cnotlirn in oe nttnineu in tiusiness, nnvo found their pay inadequate to their comfortable maintenance.It ia in vain to deny that business has rapidly increased within the past month, whatever may havo been the cause ot it A belter feeling prevails, and the laboring classes are more generally at work at reasonable wages, who were as generally unemployed and suffering in wont a few weeks since. Nor is this stalo of things cunt'ned to the laborer, for tho merchant and capitalist partake equally of tho gen eral gladness and conhdence. Neither is tins feel ing limited in its eltects, out prevails tnroiigiioui tuo country. We have gathered from the public journals a few facts to show tho progress nf improvement They all'ord a belter and fur more satisfacto ry evidence to the honest workiugman than ull the peculations ol pnny puiuiruun. An ojent of the Port llenry iron company, whoio works are in Essex county, says that orders have been sent no to nut tho whole establishment in full blast The Philadelphia Gazette Bays that several factories in that city which havo long been closed, will immediately commence operations. Among them the Globe mills, Lcnning's chemical works, nnd Dr. Bergen's glass works. We learn also that the Lehigh company has been applied to for waicr power to be opplied to some new iron works. A manufacturer in Wolcrburv, Ct, reports that he ha received more orders for goods in his lino since tlio passngo of tho Tariff bill than ho has received during tlio whole ot lour mouum piuiums. In the region of New Jersey, the oro which has been on llio banks of tho canal as quiet as slones and almost of a little value, has been contracted for. The Saugcrtie iron works, which previous to iu suspension some month since, gavo employment to a largo number of hands, and paid out over threo thousand dollar monthly, aro prepared to resume operations.Whatever parties may say with respect to tho cause of this stato of things, it ia with facts alone that we have lo do, ond the fact that a better state of things does exist is of more consequence to the ar-tizan than the speculations of theorists. sent up to put tne wnoie csinuiisnmeui m iuii utnsi.

A vent einnn from Now Jersey stales that more tlinn forty mills w hich have been closed in that Slate aro to be speedily opened. The extensive colloii factories at Norristown.

Tho 1'orllnnd Mrertiser my that orders have just been received by journeymen shoemaker in that vicinity, who were thrown out of employ by tho reduction nf duties in tho Into tariff, to return to Massachusetts, where they had been formerly omployed, to engage in their loruier business. A better stale nf things, any the Baltimore American, has succeeded lo the previous depression in almost every department of business. It is now considered that a firm basis i established iimui which operations may bo conducted with assurance oa lo result. Tho general feeling in tho community is mom cheerful and lively than it hat appeared to be any timo within the lost fow year.

Tho amount lo be divided is $.Vj3,144 18, exclusive of tho ten per centum to the States in which the lands havo been sold." Ohio' proportion of this sum will bo nearly 800,-000, which will go so far towards paying our interest and relieving tho people from taxation.

The latest accounts from Great Britain show that our new Whig Tariff is no belter liked in England, and Scotland, and in France, than it is by our Loco Focus at home.

In view of theso assurances, the London Standard say to tho Uritish manufacturer, "no expectation is entertained thai the Tariff, as il now rani, will survive Ihe ensiling trsiton of CongrMJ." Thus it seems that tho threats of tho Loco roco to repeal the Tariff as oon as they can gel the nower to do o, are known in England as well as at homo. Let tho fanners, mechanic and manufacture all who depend on wages, nnd oil who pay those wage, consider this matter, and decide, a our cotemporuiy well says: Whether they should support a party whose principles nro designed thus to BUILD UP HIHTIHI INTERESTS at the EXPENSE OF AMERICAN INDUSTRY.

Tho undersigned, being a committee appointed by the citizcuB of Huron to tnko measures to relievo ihe distress of the sufferers, and make arrangement for the decent interment uf tho dead, in the tinfortunuto burning of tho Steamboat Vermillion, which took placo at our port this morning, report the following fact u having come to our knowledge by the report of others, and from personal observation :. The Steamboat Vermillion, Captain Brundagc.nr-rived here from Detroit this morning about 1 o'clock, and stopped at the end of the pier, near the Light House. Among tho freight they wore taking on was a can of Turpentine, which by some means was turned out and spread ovor the duck, and coming in contact with the chimney, took fire, and in a moment tho boat was on firo from stein to Btcrn. The pas sengers, some forty or fifty in number, were nil asleep in their berths. They were soon aroused, but before they could get on to Uie pier the fastenings ot the boat were burned oft and the boat drilling out into the Lalio. Her boat were immediately lower ed. One immediately swamped tho other was the means of saving many lives hut others were doomed, some to a watery gravo, and others given a prey to tho devourinc element. 1 he foliowiiii: arc known to bo lost : 1 he body ol one man has been louiul, his namo supposed to be (from his papers) Alexander Robinson, Captain or Mate ot the rjchuoner Ohio, lie is supioscu to navo had a wife on board, who was also drowned. The body of Mrs. Charles Hoskins, of Kingston, Canada, has also been found. Her husband is ainomr the living.

Still, the spread of tho flame through the boat was instantaneous, and tho only passago from tlio boat to the pier was by tlio forward gangway. rroin this die cabin passengera were cut oil by the llames. Some leajied overboard and olhera wcro taken off hy tho yawl. One man who could not awitn, clung to the burning wreck, in the water, for more nn halt an hour, before discovered and taken oft.

FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 11, 1842. Nulllncullon lu New Ilnniphire It take an old Federalist to do tho tiling hand somely. Gov. Hubbard, in his Message to the Leg islature of New Hampshire, just convened at Con cord, say he entertains a decided opinion against the policy of dividing the Stato into Congressional districts, in compliance with the law of Congress, which he deems unconstitutional, and he hopes no such act to district the State will be passed. This is bold and peremptory, and said like a irur federal- is! and member of the treasonable Hartford Conren-fioit.' Reckless and desperate as tho Loco Foco generally are, they did not dare act the treason which they talked, respecting the lato regulations by Congress for the election of Representative. New l ork obeyed the prescription : so did Pennsylvania so did Connecticut so even did they in Ohio, a far a they made progress, last summer. But Gov. Hubbard' federal blood is up, and the spirit that advised disunion, a New England confederacy and peaco with England, whilst the remaining States were left to bear tlio brunt of British power, on land and ea, aguin counsels disobedience and Hot re bellion," to tho paramount law of the Innd ! None but a Federalist of the Blue-light, Essex Junto stamp, could or would do it with such impunity. Another Urfnlriitlon The Loco Focos continue to steal and plunder the people' money. Another defalcation l,a just como to light in New York. Jama 11. Ward, .Mr. Mayor Morris' first Marshal, has been arrested and committed to the city prison upon ftill proofe or enormous robberies or Uic public funds, as Collector of Hospital money. Tho amount which ho has appropriated to his privato use, out of money belonging to the people, is supposed to be from Eifty to an Hundred Thousand Dollars! Tho secret motive of the usurpation or tho City Government, last spring, after il wna well known Hint the Whigs had carried the election, IB fully revealed by these unprecedented defalcations, on the part of the leading Loco Foco office holders. Had the Loco Focos retained their power, these robberies would never have come to light. The thieve would havo kept on, filling their wckct with the people' money, and glorifying tlio democratic principles and usage which were found to be so profitable. How much longer will the people consent to bo humbugged and robbed by a set of rascals, who, instead of preaching democracy and Blundering honest men, ought to be mado to earn their bread in tlio Penitentiary ? New York lllrrlion. Tho Tribune of Monday speaks encouragingly of the prospect of tho Whigs. The contest will probably bo ( closo one. The Loco Foco naturalized 1200 voters in New York city on Saturday, and yet the city is doubtful. It is a singular fact, thai to retain their strength in the city, the I-oco Focos are compelled annually to make from one to two thousand new voter out or tho immigrant population. They get their vote tho first timo they como to the ballot boxes, but ore not to be relied on afterward. Tho Whigs rctuon with them and mako convert of great number. Still tho system work advantageously for the Loco Focos, who make up their deficiency by draft upon the original capital stock. The weather has been (O stormy, that we look Tor our first intelligence from Uic east By Monday wo shall be able to judge or the result Things lo bo Hrmrmberrd. 1. The Locofbco States of the Union aro tho worst governed and most heavily taxed. For examples of this look at Mississippi, the first to repudiate an honest debt to Illinois untih.e to pay even tho interest on her debt, and driving hor population from their limits by heavy taxation. To Alabama with a debt of ten millions to Pennsylvania, with a debt of twenty-eight million of dollar. The stocks of all thcBe Locofoco State are Bunk 50 per cent, while the Whig State of Mnssachuett( maintain the credit of her stocks at par. 3. The Locofoco States tax tho people the most, and are the most extravagant in the expenditure of the public monevs. 4. 1 lie only three Htates in the Union which havo no debt, are the Whig Stale of Connecticut, Delaware, and Rhode Island. 5. That the Whig administration of John Q. Adams sjient on an average but eleven millions of dollars a year, while that of Mr. Van Uuren in its first year, spent 1)3,451,3 II. 07Throo times the annual expenditure of Mr. Adams. fi. The Locofocos arc opposed to a protective tariff.7. They are opposed to sustaining the common school of the different States, hy distributing tiie revenue of the public lauds. 8. They are opposed lo a national currency by which a man mny travel from Maine to Georgia without tosintr a cent bv discount 1 fiat tltoir policy is destructive, and opposed to every great measure of national prosperity. iu. i nat wnen tuny took possession of the Nation-Government they found us a hannv and prosperous people, and that in twelve years thev destroyed our currency, broke down the industry and trade of the country anil Jell us a Honoring and complaining nation, weeping at the folly of our rulers. 1 1. i nut every mechanic and everv operative w ho 'ores the Locofoco ticket, VOTES AGAINST PIIE PROTECTION OF HIS OWN INDUS TRY, and in favor of tho free trade which would destroy American manufacture with tho pauper labor of Europe. Troy Whin, IIIU BUI l Co Tho Wabash Express mentions a resolution passed at a Loco meeting, iu tho vicinity of Terre Haute, recommending a mass meeting of the Western 14 Democracy," to lie held on the ground wltere the llidlle oj the Thames was fought After it unanimous adoption, a Ijk-.o, who knew oniiiclliing abuut Geography, reminded the mover, that it would be well enuiigb to ask permission of Ulees Victoria, a the battle irround was in her majesty's dominions, being in Ca nada. The motion was amended, whether to ask permission of her British majesty, fiir this concentration of Western " Democracy," or the selection of a spot within our own borders, the editor doc not say. No doubt the privilego will be promptly granted il asked for. Queen Victoria could never deny so slight a ruvor to those or her loving subject on thia side of tho Atlantic, who are devoted to British interest exclusively, and who labor so hard to sacrifice tho indciwndcncc of their own country at the footstool of Uritish power. By all mean let the anti-Tariff mon go over to Canada to consummate their plan lor repealing the act to protect American Industry ! Pnilf Name.

How extremely anxious the Loco Foco leaders aro to persuade the Whigs Hint they cannot run Mr. Clny in 1844, with any chance of success! How kind it is in that party to tender us this friendly ad vice! They really soem to think that we are insen sible to our true condition, and that if they did not tell us Mr. Clay's prospects for the Presidency were blasted, we should never discover the fact ourselves. How should they bo so prescient on the subject, whilst we remained in ignorance of our weaknesses and misfortunes ? Why, say Ihey, don't you see how Die elections aro going? Mr. Clay's namo carries no enthusiasm with it the people dislike him tlio abolitionists are his sworn foes; he's beat wherever you attempt to rally under his standard i you had heller drop him and lake up some other man ! How dis interested! How generous to give us these timely nnd prudent warnings ! Indeed, one might apprehend that these chivalrous enemies of ours would feel grieved if we did not hoed their admonitions, renounce Mr. Clay, and unite upon some other candidate with whom wo should bo certain to conquer and thus deprive them of tlio spoils which they would otherwise win and divide among themselves. Unfortunately, it does not appear that there are many Whigs disposed to profit by this counsel. In tlio first place, they are not much discouraged them-eolvesi and in the second, they aro rather distrustful of theso attentions. They would rather see the Loco Focos take a little of their own medicine, before they make trial of it The Loco Focos oro not much addicted to the practice of abandoning their men, simply becauso they may havo failed at an election in sustaining them. They adopt Mr. Clay's advice they "pick their flints and try again." When Mr. Clay has been candidate for the Presidency, an I has proved himself or his principles so unpopular that but six States will throw their votes for him, it will be time to think of withdrawing him from the turf. If tho Loco Focos can venture to support Mr. Van Btiren again, after hi overthrow and total demolition in 1810, with tho whole power and patronage of the government in his hands, we think tho Whigs may bo pardoned for adhering to Mr. Clay, tho exponent and Representative of their principles, even though no have slipped up here in Ohio, in a contest in which he had little or no part, The Loco Focos do not think so meanly of their own men, as to discard them for being beaten. 1 hey go for Mr. Van Uuren again, notwithstanding his very extrcmo elevation, near the sources of Halt River, by the Whig surges of I? 10.

The Journal says Ohio State Bond aro selling at New York at (i8j, and insinuates that it is in ennse-ipicnco of the recent election. Pre-h:iis it is because tho Kelleyites have confessed their inability to pay tlio January interest unless the) can poach upon next year' revenue! Statesman. . The Statesman is quite oracular on the subject of State Stocks and the payment ol interest. I here is au intimation hero tho first that we have heard that the January interest is not to be paid. If there was any tendency before to a decline, we think tin. declar ation, by a high State officer and the mouth-pier o uf Hie paity now and for a year post in power ill the State, will not have the effect to stop the declension. Slato credit is at best but a delicate affair, and can. not fail to be injured by the attempts uf such slaver ors as Medary to meddle with it. Hut mho is it that confesses inability to p'ty the January interest? Sicak mt,0.tiilp! This is tlio first " confession " that has como to our knowledge, to maintain the public credit, but wo had no conception that the crisis was so near at hand. Wo supposed tho means of paying the January interest were not wanting, and that the demands on the treasury at that time would be promptly met ilitt if there is to be a gamo of juggling got up for political purposes, our expectations and tho expectations of every man who wishes well to tho State, are destined to bo dis -ppointcd. We could hnpo that it may be otherwise, but the lurking glco which peeps out of the little paragraph in the Statesman, leaves small ground for hope. A Voice from Ui-lwwnrct At a mooting of tho cifuenj of Troy, in Delaware county, the following among othor resolutions woro adopted : Resolved, That, in tho opinion of this meeting, the present Legislature ought to reduce their wages to two dollars a day ; also, the salary or fee of every other public officer in tho Stato in the same proportion." Resolved, That tho Legislature have the power, and ought to bring about and establish a sound system of Hanking, sufficiently liberal to Bankers to induce them to bank, and at the same timo under such restrictions as will make their issues sufe in the hands of the people." We suspect gentlemen you voted for tlio wrong ticket or at least that the wrong ticket was elected, up your way, to have either of theso objects attended to. Tho State Printer would bo unwilling to have his income reduced six or eight thousand dollars, although ho very officiously recommends economy to others. As to tho reduction of the pay of the members from three to two dollar a day, that was attempted by the Whigs lust year and defeated by McNulty and Byington j and as those fellows stand justified and tho Whigs condemned, you pray in vain lor retrenchment there.

Ha tho Auditor discharged his duty by laying taxes sufficient with the canil tolls to meet tho interest on tho public debt? Or have tho Fund Commissioners misapplied tho means placed at their disposal by the Auditor? If default is threatened, it is becauso tho Auditor ha not performed his duty, or the Fund Commissioner havo transcended their. The law which empower tho Auditor to collect taxe (ufli-cient to pay tho interest on the public debt, oiler tho surplus toll havo been applied lo that purKiae, is inierative, wo bcliove, in it provisions. Who then is in fault? Who is to blame, and where doe the blame lio ) We are aware that tlio two years past have been unfavorable for laying taxe. Loco Foco legislation ha nearly (tripped tlio people of the ability to pay. Tho actual amount of tho circulation of the Banks, is less than tlio sum total to bo collected for taxi, and hut a small portion of that is in tho hands of those who are assessed. Tho Statesman endeavor to mix up Gov. Cor-win's namo with this question of paying tho January interest What ho he to do with it ? lie ho no power in the premise. Il is no part of hi duty to lay or collect taxes, or to suporviso tho payment to our public creditor. Then w bat means the Slate- man by lugging his namo into tho business? If those who are entrusted with tins duty, have violated or neglected the trust reposed in them, is tho responsibility to he cast on his shoulder ? Is the Auditor to be relieved in tins way, of what may be attached to him ? Indefinite as are the insinuations of tho Statesman, there ia anmelhing in thorn of an alarming character. Of the prudence of putting forth such statements at tiii limo we have nothing to lay, for wo have no knowledge that the aourco whence they come was ever imbued with any of that quality to boast of, or that any consideration of publio interest, in that quarter, would cvor bo permitted to stand in tho way of a party advantage.

We published an extract, on Tuesday, from Birmingham (English) paper, in which it was stated that a single manufacturer in that city had notified an hundred of his hands that he could not employ them any longer in consequence of the passago of the American Tariff. Now wo put it to tho condor of tiny honest and intelligent man in this country, whe ther such a fact does not go to show that tho Tariff operate beneficially upon American interest. It is obvious that before the 1 nriff was passed, wo were paying for tho labor of these operatives. We were buying tho products of their industry : and not only of their industry, but of all tlio machinery which was manned by them ; and in paying for that labor, we contributed to the support of their families, to the payment of their rents, taxes, marketing, &c, die, &c. What claims havo they upon in for their up- port? Do they buy any tiling of tho farmers of Ohio ? Not a (hilling' worth ! They take none of our flour, none of our pork and beef, none of our iron or coal. Tho commodities which wo purchase of tliciu are not paid for by any thing wo produce ; nothing but gold and silver will they take in exchange. Of that we have but little left to spare. Will it bo any positivo detriment to us not to continue this trade with tho manufacturer of Birmingham ? We see not bow it is to injure us. He, and the men whom ho formerly employed, will suffer severely ; but it harms not us. Wo shall cease to send them our gold and cilvcr: it will bo retained in the country. Thorc are some people in Mussachusets and Rhode Islund engaged in the samo business, and they will supply us with the articles we formerly obtained from Birmingham. They don't ask lis for our gold and silver for them: they aro willing to take gruin and provisions in payment for any thing wo want Thoso people occupy an unproductive soil : if they were to devoto themselves to tillage, it would cost them several days' labor to produce a bushel of wheat and as many weeks to put up a bar rel of pork. W beat nnd Pork hero nro almost spontaneous productions. They can be raised with one piartcr of tho labor they would cost in New Eng land. Indeed wo can send flour, pork, hams, lard, beef, &C, to them by means of the cnnals nnd rail roads, much cheaper than they can produce those ar ticles themselves. How naturally does it follow, then, that we of the West, Bhould act our kindred in tho East to manufacturing. They call turn out s thousand things which arc indispeusablo to our comfort, and will be glad to get our staples in payment But if wo would not buy these things of the home manufacturer, wu should havo to send to England for them, and send our gold and silver to pay for them, too. Now which is tho most advantageous for us; totrado with our own countrymen, or with the British? To buy of thoso who buy of us or buy of those who refuse to take any thing we con raise ? We did not, however, take up our pen at this lime to arguo so plain a question in this formal manner, hut simply to introduce an nrtielo which wo find floating in tho newspapers, and which contains some important intelligence respecting the effect which the Tariff passed in August by Congress has had in some parts of tho country. T ho article we allude to is appended hereto. It ib from an authentic (onrco, being prepared for and published in a paper printed at Albany, N.

Wo havo the means of knowing something of the general distress and gloom which has pervaded the ranks uf tho mechanic and manufacturers, for it is among tlieni that our circulation extends and in watching their condition and prosjiect, we have had occasion to observe how great ha been tho depression under which they have struggled during the past season.

Nor is this stalo of things cunt'ned to the laborer, for tho merchant and capitalist partake equally of tho gen eral gladness and conhdence. Neither is tins feel ing limited in its eltects, out prevails tnroiigiioui tuo country. We have gathered from the public journals a few facts to show tho progress nf improvement They all'ord a belter and fur more satisfacto ry evidence to the honest workiugman than ull the peculations ol pnny puiuiruun.

Among them the Globe mills, Lcnning's chemical works, nnd Dr. Bergen's glass works. We learn also that the Lehigh company has been applied to for waicr power to be opplied to some new iron works.

FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 11, 1842. Nulllncullon lu New Ilnniphire It take an old Federalist to do tho tiling hand somely. Gov. Hubbard, in his Message to the Leg islature of New Hampshire, just convened at Con cord, say he entertains a decided opinion against the policy of dividing the Stato into Congressional districts, in compliance with the law of Congress, which he deems unconstitutional, and he hopes no such act to district the State will be passed. This is bold and peremptory, and said like a irur federal- is! and member of the treasonable Hartford Conren-fioit.' Reckless and desperate as tho Loco Foco generally are, they did not dare act the treason which they talked, respecting the lato regulations by Congress for the election of Representative. New l ork obeyed the prescription : so did Pennsylvania so did Connecticut so even did they in Ohio, a far a they made progress, last summer. But Gov. Hubbard' federal blood is up, and the spirit that advised disunion, a New England confederacy and peaco with England, whilst the remaining States were left to bear tlio brunt of British power, on land and ea, aguin counsels disobedience and Hot re bellion," to tho paramount law of the Innd ! None but a Federalist of the Blue-light, Essex Junto stamp, could or would do it with such impunity. Another Urfnlriitlon The Loco Focos continue to steal and plunder the people' money. Another defalcation l,a just como to light in New York. Jama 11. Ward, .Mr. Mayor Morris' first Marshal, has been arrested and committed to the city prison upon ftill proofe or enormous robberies or Uic public funds, as Collector of Hospital money. Tho amount which ho has appropriated to his privato use, out of money belonging to the people, is supposed to be from Eifty to an Hundred Thousand Dollars! Tho secret motive of the usurpation or tho City Government, last spring, after il wna well known Hint the Whigs had carried the election, IB fully revealed by these unprecedented defalcations, on the part of the leading Loco Foco office holders. Had the Loco Focos retained their power, these robberies would never have come to light. The thieve would havo kept on, filling their wckct with the people' money, and glorifying tlio democratic principles and usage which were found to be so profitable. How much longer will the people consent to bo humbugged and robbed by a set of rascals, who, instead of preaching democracy and Blundering honest men, ought to be mado to earn their bread in tlio Penitentiary ? New York lllrrlion. Tho Tribune of Monday speaks encouragingly of the prospect of tho Whigs. The contest will probably bo ( closo one. The Loco Foco naturalized 1200 voters in New York city on Saturday, and yet the city is doubtful. It is a singular fact, thai to retain their strength in the city, the I-oco Focos are compelled annually to make from one to two thousand new voter out or tho immigrant population. They get their vote tho first timo they como to the ballot boxes, but ore not to be relied on afterward. Tho Whigs rctuon with them and mako convert of great number. Still tho system work advantageously for the Loco Focos, who make up their deficiency by draft upon the original capital stock. The weather has been (O stormy, that we look Tor our first intelligence from Uic east By Monday wo shall be able to judge or the result Things lo bo Hrmrmberrd. 1. The Locofbco States of the Union aro tho worst governed and most heavily taxed. For examples of this look at Mississippi, the first to repudiate an honest debt to Illinois untih.e to pay even tho interest on her debt, and driving hor population from their limits by heavy taxation. To Alabama with a debt of ten millions to Pennsylvania, with a debt of twenty-eight million of dollar. The stocks of all thcBe Locofoco State are Bunk 50 per cent, while the Whig State of Mnssachuett( maintain the credit of her stocks at par. 3. The Locofoco States tax tho people the most, and are the most extravagant in the expenditure of the public monevs. 4. 1 lie only three Htates in the Union which havo no debt, are the Whig Stale of Connecticut, Delaware, and Rhode Island. 5.

Adams sjient on an average but eleven millions of dollars a year, while that of Mr. Van Uuren in its first year, spent 1)3,451,3 II. 07Throo times the annual expenditure of Mr. Adams. fi. The Locofocos arc opposed to a protective tariff.7. They are opposed to sustaining the common school of the different States, hy distributing tiie revenue of the public lauds. 8.
