We have news from Davidson County includ?
ing Nashvilc) this morning. Friend Xorvc'.i of
the Whig, writes us under date of Aug. 3, that
the Whig? had triumphed there signally. He
does not give the precise result. He says, how?
ever, that the majority eannot be less than 6?
or 700. Harrison's majority in 1S41 was 683.
Jones'in 1841, 532. The Whigs of Nashville
have labored hard and labored together?and be
hold the fruit ! If it were thus with us always !
Jones' reelection is certain ; -o all say. V? e
!ear too much attention has been paid to this point,
arid too little to the Legislature. If any further
news reaches us by to-morrow's mail we will
write. ________? ,v' H" ^ ?0,
ID" From North Carolina, we had nothing
by the Day Mail cf yesterday, the Mail failing
South of Washington. Of course, wc shall not
be able to get our letters for this morning's paper.
We have the Newbcrnian of the 5th, stating that
the full vote of that County ?Craven' gives At
ruigton but 6 majority, instead of X/, as reported
ai our last.
You Don't Suy So ?
" The Tribune looki with evident complacency opon the
-??.?it-me for the assumption of the State Debts by the geneial
government ; ;u;d rumor h.'u it that ?ome one of the editors
of the Tribun? is to 'go 'owie* to Old England?whether t<>
' raise the wind'for 1841, on condition of assuming Jthe Stall
Debts, ?md *o repaying; by the rise of stocks the Britiih c .p
italisu who imke advances f>r Mr. Clay's benefit?and
whether this oration m to be used as a sort of ' certificate ol
t:ood behavior' on that occasion, we. ?re not informed."
0s* Wc extract the above pan graph from a
long article (commenting on an Oration by Mr.
H. J. Raymond, in thai place,) in The True Di
viocrat, Burlington, Vt., merely to give our read?
ers one more illustration of the kind of trash which
the patrons of Loco-Foco papers get for their
money. All who read The Tribune know that
wc never eountenanced the Assumption of State
Debts by ihe General Government ; though such
is our abhorrence of Repudiation, :uich our sting.
ing sense of the disgrace it is bringing upon our
Country and the cause of Human Freedom, that
we would very cheerfully consent to be taxed to
pay the debts of a defaulting State rather than
have it? creditors cheated out of their just dues.
As to going ' \)mey to England, there is no Editor
of The Tribune who ever saw that country, and but
one any where who has any responsibility for its
Political character. If k British Capitalists' have
any money to give to a iirst-rato high Tariff,
trade-at-home, hands-off-with-England journal,
they muBt send it here?wc can't run all over the
world for it. They must like our course a great
deal better than their agents in this country do. ,
however, before we shall have a chance to refuse
the first shilling of theirs.
tiOT Our friend who has go;4lo down to Newark
to establish a Van Bure;,. p;jper, has got out of
his latitude entirely. He whales away at Protec?
tion ut tnough he were 8tiJl In Brooklyn, not ap?
pearing to 'understand that he has got into a State
where his party pretend to be favorable to some
m>u of a Protective Tariff! We like ins ?.punk,
but can 't say much for his tact, nor his knowl?
edge of our National history. He Ulks as though
a Protective Tariff were established by increas
ing the duties in 18J?, which duties were in?
creased and made still more Protective in 1S2J !
The unsuspecting youth does not seem to under?
stand that the Tariff oi lbl6 (none was passed
in 1817) was one of reduction, not increase of
duties, Protective ou a few coarse manufactures
only, while in 1821 no Tariff bill was passed at
all. There was one framed in 1820, but it failed
to pass, being laid on the table of the. Senate by
?22 to 21 votes. (See Niles's Register and tlie
Journals.) The first generally Protective Tariff
was that of 1824, which was made more thor?
ough and efficient by the act of 1828.
ILT" The Fulton County Republican is distress.
?d with the idea that some one has proposed that
the Whig party shall make no effort this Falb
and protests against such a cause vehemently.
Quite right. It would be wrong to make no fight,
but still worse to make such a light as the Wings
of Fulton did ?ast year. Do you take I
' Tis better, sure, to sit than me to fill.'
If we can any way coax 01 provoke the Whigs
into making a good right, that will *u?t us ; next
to that we prefer none at all.
(LTThe Evening Post tmnks it high lime thai
the conduct of the Repudiating States " were
made the subject of candid and intelligent discus?
sion." Sure enough. Why does not the Tost
Uke hold of the matter I We have been discus?
sing it these two years, while the journalsibf the
Post's party have either studiously avoided it, or
turned it off with some base attempt to excite pre?
judice against the State creditors as wealthy bank
ers or foreigners. By all means let us have, it
discussed thoroughly, and acted upon.

Tylerium at Wa?h.ln?i<u>
We hope no render -rill understand that w*
care one button whether Tyler cheat? his old" sup
porters or his new ones cheat him. It is all then
own business. We publish the following only tfJ
let our readers see what one of the two facQoni
ol" office-seekers says of the other.
Extract ofa fetter from a friend of President Tylei to hi
correspondent in this city, da:??
" Washxt? ''? -!,t "?
?! I informed you in my last of the dispositioD
of the Secretaries Mr. Upshnr excepted to dis?
card the original and tned friends of the Presi.
. dent, and to adopta new class vh~ are considered
; more purely ? Democratic* than theirpredecessors.
! Sccau.se they boasL that they are so. This lattei
; class arc the most hungry hounds for office thai
1 ever hunted for place or power. They particu.
i larly beset the Secretary of the Trea3uryand pro.
| fess to consider him as a Democrat of the Srsl
! v.-aD r. whom it will be the delight of any future
j Democratic President to honor : and with all his
' sagacity and kecn-sightedness asa politician, the
\ Secretary acts as if he believed them, and take*
I them to his confidence, although hi knows thai
1 not one of them is the real friere of Mr. Tyler.
: whom both he and they are willing to deceive and
' ? sacrifice to promote their concurrent ambition.
! A few days since a delegation from one of the
, Tyler Associations arrived in this city for the
I purpose 'as the President was absent, of confer
ing with Mr. Spencer, in order to urge the well
: founded claims of some'of the President's original
and steadfast friends to office. After waiting for
j several dayB without being able to obtain an in?
terview, they ascertained that they were no long
! er I he favorites at court?that the Secretary was
surrounded by a horde of deceitful office-hunting
' demagogues from your city, who had won his pri
j vate ear by promises of future favor, should Mr.
VanBuren be elected, and who were thus enabled
. to close the door of kindness against Mr. Tyl< r'a
? friends, and to treat them with a neglect bordering
i on insult. They ailed to think that the Presi
i dents original friends are now far too humble to
! hold any important office ; that men of mort ????<
: manence, such only us are to be found in the Van
' Buren ranks, are calculated to ojive eclat and
, strength to Mr. Tyler's Administration. And to
all tins, the Secretary is pleased to say, amen '?
; knowing at the same time that he is deceiving
i the Presiden!. by bartcriug off for purpose, of his
own future aggrandizement, whatever of popular
\ it\' .Air. Tyler has hitherto possessed. Put the
' President will not much longer be hood-winked
! by Mr. Spencer or his Punic allies. He has one
real friend in the Cabinet in the person of Mr.
Upshur, who is able to detect these foul maneeu
1 venues, and who will ere lone; open the eyes of
i Mr. Tyler to the deep and damning designs that
have been formed for his undoing. May such
? discovery speedily be made, and the Satanic in*
j fluences with which the President is surrounded,
| be speedily dissipated by the inletting of the truth
j upon his mind."

If we were to follow the example of the com?
piler of these volumes, we should take this oppor?
tunity to decrv his edition of Mr. Clay's Speech?
es, as he has done the far less costly and less
vaunted edition now issued from this establish?
ment, ?t would be easy to cavil and pick flaws, it
such were our taste?to complain that the ideaot
introductory notes to each Speech is clearly co
pied from Swain's edition, and that the careful
restoration of the first person by Mr. Swain in
the many Speeche? reported dully in the third per?
son, and so retained by ail previous compiler.-?, is
also copied without acknowledgement by Mr.
Mailory, &c. &c. But let aD this pass, since it
detracts nothing fror.-. Ihe value of tin- work.?
Suffice it that Mr. Mailory has compiled a very
fall and we trust accurate edition of Mr. Clay's
Speeches, which are here richly embellished and
admirably printed. The work is a credit to
American typography. an acquisition to our Na?
tional Literature, and we trust will have a wide
diffusion. There is no library that will not be the
richer for a copy of it.
The Engravings, four in number, are a Por?
trait of Mr. Clay : a View of his Birth-Place in
the Slashes of Hanover, Va. : a View of Ash
land, his present residence ; and a View of thp
Monument erected to Mr. C'lav on the national
Road, They are good, but the likeness of Mr.
Clay is a failure, as 3? engraved likenesses of him
measurably are.
The Biography of Mr. Clay we think less hap?
py than that of the cheap edition, but no biogra?
phy of him can be uninteresting while it is true.
Wc copy from Mallory'a an anecdote which, re
futes <>n< of the most current of the wholesale
calumnies against the ?jrcat Statesman, viz :
" In the spring of 1<519, we had the pleasure of
being a fellow passenger with Mr. ('lay. from
New-Orleans to Louisville. After a general ac?
quaintance had been established among the cab.n
passenger?, to pass away the time more agreeably
it was proposed to have a game of cards, in which
une of the number was requested to invite Mr.
Clay to join. When the invitation wa? given, he
inquired what game was proposed. The reply
was, ' Tirn'?." The sudden compression of the
i lips, and the change from easy politeness to the
dignified deportment of one entitled to give ad?
vice, evinced, at once, a determination nut to en?
gage in the crame. ' Excuse me, gentlemen,'
said he, ' J have not played a game of any kind
of hazard for more than twelve years, and I take
this occasion to warn you all to avoid a practice
destructive of a ?rood name, and drawing after it
evil consequences of incalculable magnitude. In
earlier days it was my misfortune, owing to a
lively and ardent temperament, to fall into thir:
vice, and to a considerable extent, and no one can
lament more sincerely tht evil and the conse?
quences of it, than 1 do. These have followed
me into nearly all the walks of hie, and though I
have long Bince abandoned the pernicious prac.
tice which led to them, it seems that they will
never abandon me.' "
C The Edinburgh Review for July, just re?
printed by Mr. J. Mason, appears on new typej
and opens with a very able Free Trade essay,
which would make six or eight leaders for the
Herald, belter than any it has stolen for some
time. It contains a great deal of undoubted
truth, skilfully mixed with and making plausible
a greater amount of error, and is defective main?
ly in dexterously assuming the grounds it chooses
to make battle upon and keeping out of sight
those which lie at the base of the question. We
hope our Free Traders who pretend that the Bri?
tish Duties are now remarkably low! will read
and heed it.

Th* Barnegat TVreciters.
A correspondent of the Philadelphia American
Sentinel, writing from Barnegat, N. J. gives the
following illustrations of the ** fair business trans?
actions " of that renowned neighborhood :
When a vessel was wrecked at night and any
portion of her cargo Boated ashore, it was in
stantlv seized upon by persons who were con?
stantly on the watch for plunder, and earned off
into the intorior or buried in the sand. So expert
in their cursed trade did these fellows bei ?>m< al
'. ist, that live minutes aller a box or bale would
land, no trace-- o? :i could Be found. Sometim* s
when kegs oi butter or lard were cast upon or
carried to the shore, a parcel of men would sur?
round one. and while pretending to be earnestly
engaged in conversation, a confederate would
creep in, and either bury the keg in the sand or
knock on" the head, scrape out the contents to th<
depth of three or four inches, and fill up the va?
cancy wiUi sand. This done, the party would
quietlv disperse, and at nighl lb? keg oj san?
would-be removedi
A vesS?? came ashore one day, heavily laden
with an assorted cargo. A deputation of wreck?
ers immediately boarded the unfortunate craft,
and having first politely informed the captain that
his ship would Lro to pieces before the next morn?
ing, stated that for th?' three-eighths of the ean*o.
;l;?i? no i-ss. they would remove al! the ?oods to
the shore in safety. This looked extremely like
a dead-shave. but the master seeing no alterna?
tive, was obligedlo embra :ethe offer.?Instanter
every boat in th-' neighborhood was put into re?
quisition, and before night the whole of the cargo
war. landed on the beach, and divided into two
lots, three-ei ?rhths. the wreckers' share of the spoil
being placed m one spot,and the captains portion
v - by. Vfterall this had been done, wo:.: ? s
sent to the master, tint the wreckers had put a
watch upon their portion of the property, and re?
commending him to do tho same with his. This
suggestion was acted upon : the mate of the ves?
sel, a prudent, sensible m m, and withal a signer
of the temperance pledge, though not a tee-total
er, being deputed to perform that duty. Now
among the cargo were several barrels of prime
ale, and these the wreckers determined should
serve them in their purpose. Accordingly a bar.
rtl was tapped and ?\> contents freely partaken ol
by all hands, but, b< lore the inuir conl lining the
i.i vcrage was handed to the mate, ?t was deeply
? - . rged with laudanum. The result may be an
licipatcd. The second officer fell asleep at his
post, and when the morning broke, no part ol lb''
captain's portion of the Carrro was visible, while
the wreckers' poriion, hardly twenty feet distant
from where the other had lain, was untouched.
A New-York vessel outward bound, and with
a valuable cargo on board, was a few years ago,
by an unfortunate accident, stranded on the Bar
negal Shoals. The wreckers boarded her, and
speedily conveyed her cargo to the shore, where,
at the request of the wreckers, a watch was placed
upon it by the master. Upon this arrangement
being made, the captain was waited upon by one
of the most active of those who had aided in re?
moving the cargo, who stated that there were
many persons in this part of the countrv. who led
loose and lawless lives, and were addicted to
stealing any and every thing that they could lay
their hands upon, and that no doubt, among those
then on the beach, were many. who. as night
came on. would avail themselves of its aid, ami
purloin cunsiderablc from the merchandize piled
up on the shore. This communication was ac?
companied with an oiler to loan " fora considera?
tion" a line fowling piece which he luid in his
hands. "Take it,'' said he, ''and if any of the
d-d scoundrels come near shoot them down
like docs. It is time a stop was put to it, and if
a few of the ringleaders were only shot, we 'd
hear no more of this rascally business." This
had the desired effect, the captain taking the piece
and agreeing to pay 32, and if it got lost to pay
3D dollars. During that night the wreckers mus?
tered in great numbers with the owner of the
gun as icaria,; rushed iu upon, overpowered,
and beat down the guard, ami carried oil'and se?
creted before morning every tiling of the possible
value, including the gun. a half inch of the bar?
rel of which, had been neatly tilled up with sand
by our indignant friend, previous to bis handing
it to the master. This you would call a " cute
trick,'* worthy of the genius of a Y mkee, but the
sequel is still "cuter.'' The wrecker sued the
captain for the .?30 which was to he paid if the
pun was lost, (actually having the art ?ele :n his
possession at the time recovered the amount with
costs, and obt lined the money!
More of Snively and U'nifuid'i Bands.
We hive given a condensed account from the
St. Louis New Era, derived from official sources,
of the dispersion, disbanding and partial disann?
ul!; of the Texan bands that interfered with the
Santa Fe. trade, by Capt. Cooke, ot the U.S.
Army. We have since seen, in the same paper,
a letter from Samuel HufTner. one of the Texans
under Snively, dated "on U.urd the steamer To?
bacco Plant. July 23." His narrative corresponds
in all its main features with that of Capt. Cooke,
but as it adds a few facts not before published, we
make several extracts from hi? communication.
Huffncr rays :
" Un the 19th of June we came in contact with
the advance of Gov. Armijo's arm v. ?bout 100
Mexicans, under Chavelers. About 100 Tex?
ans engaged m the attack upon them. After
rinng three rounds we broke their ranks, killed
?J?, wounded 23, and took all the rest prisoner--?
without having a Texan hurt."
The Texans numbered about lud trjen. He
adds :
?? We sent the prisoners homeward, and eighty
four men of our party started on the 29th of June,
from our camp on I >wl ere* '.;, a branch of the
Semirone. to return to Texas. The remainder.

" Next day. however, Capt. Cooke took us bv
surpi u . as we had no spies out, and one-half of
our men were out butfalo hunting. That officer
contended that we were east of the 100th decree
of longitude, and demanded our arms, giving us
full liberty otherwise; winch terms we accepted,
it being tile most jxjlitic. both as regarded our.
selves and our Government Cols. Snively and

Warfield pursued them with five men, intcndinir
to retake the horses, but he was surrounded bv
about 150 Indians. Warfield repelled the attack.
killed seven Indians, and returned to camp with?

Wool in Vermont.?The Bales of this article
tlie present .season appear tu be more extensive in
thia State, and at. better prices than for several
seasons past. The St. Albana paper states that
a sinirlc firm?.Messrs. Pollett and Bradley, of

average price of .'10 cents per pound ; and tint
D. T. Carpenter, Esq., of that town, who raises
a vrry line quality of wool, has sold this year's
clip for 38 cents per pound. The Watchman
states that ?40,000 has been paid out for wool in
Montpelier. What amount has been paid out in
Windsor County, we have not seen stated. The
estimated sales in this village amount to S25.

has been sold there as high as thirty-three cents
per pound, and at ?VKddlebury a? high as thirty
six and seven cents. [Woodstock Mercury.
Wheat l\ Michigan.?The Adrian Watch,

wheat districts in Michigan, says:
" The past two weeks have been stirring times
among our farmers. The weather has been un?
usually fine and well suited lor harvesting. As !
lar as we can ?earn, the yield of wheatis not only
abundant, but of a superior quality. It is esti
mated that the wheat crop of this State this year
will be double, it" not treble, the product of any
former year, While the wheat crop of many
other States has been injured by various causes,
so that a considerable diminution will be visible ?
compared jivith former years, it is especially gra?
fying to us to know that we live on a soil' which
produces an abundance of every thin?, and that,
too, without bestowing on it any extraordinary
labor. No people on earth have greater cau?e to
be thankful for the blessings of Heaven, ?an" the
people of Michigan."

A Curious Circumstance.?The St. Clair
County Banner says that a " Mr. John M. Gecl,
of Port Huron, in that county, commenced near
his house boring for water, and after havingBuni
a shaft to the depth of 115 feet, he suddenly heard
a hissing noise, which he supposed to be water
rising where he had bored. He im mediately coin
menced taking up his cfhaft, which hh soon as he
had done, was followed by . a noise as ioud and* 1
resembling that made by the largest steamboat
letting off steam, and a rush of gas, throwing
stone?, sand, &c, to the flight of IdO feet, and
with such force as to throw stones weighing from
? to Id pounds, when placed in the orifice,to the
hight of several feet. A large tube has been in?
serted over the hole, and up the present time it
has conticued, although not as strong as ;d first,
to emit a strong current of gas, of an inflamma?
ble nature, supposed to be hydrogen! We yes?
terday visited the sp?it, and saw the ?as lighted.
It burnt freely, producing a bright flame and
slightly impregnated with a sulphuric smell, but

Tile First Bank of America.?In looking
over the old Annals, says the Cincinnati Chroni?
cle, we find that the common idea that the first
Hank was established in Philadelphia, is a tola!
mistake. A bank was established seventy years
before L.e period which is assigned as that of the
first bank in Pennsylvania. In 1712, the Legis?
lature of South Carolina established a Public
Hank, and issued forty-eight thousand pounds m
bills of trust. These'bills were called Hond Bui?,
and the establishment was called a Public Bank.
These were lent out at interest, or loaned on per- ^
sonai security.
A Chance.?We see it ^. ited that Government
has issued orders for the employmi nt of mecha
