Whigs] will you WorkT
A very lew muriltm remain to nettle ihi! great
question of 1644; and, while we cannot doubt
t'ie result, ice must not yet shut our eyes to the
faot that the Loco-Foco politicians ire working
with the frantic energy of desperation. The}
know that theirs ia an up-hill road, and they pu>
forth their strength accordingly. Tiny have hac
two-thirds of the Members of Congress Hooding
the Country with documents; they arc now pre
paring and issuing a new aeries of True:;: f?r the
campaign; their journals arc ferocious in their
personal attacks, nnd unscrupulous in their ap?
peals to whatever o1 ignor--nee and party passio:
still exists. VVe have s ::i the whole boily in
halt the Union wheel at the word of command,
and proclaim Constitutional and most desirabli
the Annexation of Texas, which they recently
denounced as unauthorized, rapacious, and utterly
abhorrent. On the Tarill, the m^si of them,
with the Aloany Argus at th< ir head, are delibe
yately and wickedly deceiving their reader*
They know t.at Polk is a Free Trader; thei
know in at his position is, as his whole course op
this subject hts k-en, antagonist to that of Mr.
Clay; and they knotc that the triumph ol* Mr
Polk ensures the overthrow of the present Tarif?
and the substitution of n low Revenue Tariff" ii
its stead. Yet they ineati to keep the Free La.
borers ae far as possible ignorant of these fact:
until the Election is over.
Now, Whigs ! there is an imperative duly dc
volving on every one of you. We do most eoio
fidctitly believe, that Mr. (Jiny will receive ;?
lurger majority in this State,and gencrally,.thaii
any President hut Gen. Harrison ; but he wil
triumph because you io 11 work. Let us pwiir
out a few tilings to be done.
I. Effect an organization (if you have non>
ytt) in your township immediately. Call it *
Clay Club, or what you please, hut let there bi
an association'formed of all those who arc willing
to tcorA- for Mr. (.'lay's Election, whether bund
reds or only a dozen. This done, extend your or.
ganixation to Election and School Districts, am
perfect it.
BBb II. Ascertain who are yet undecided with re.
^mgurd to tlf next ['resident,oi who an
W hear and read what the Whigs have to say
Thcro arc many such in every township, some ii
almost every School District. Let every one ol
these be promptly seen by s ime friend cr neighbor,
and asked to read Speeches or Tracts setting forth
the Whig sentiments with regard to ihe Tarif!
Texas, the Currency, the Public Lands, &C Let
them be invited to peruse ulso the publications o
our opponcnis, and read the two sides alternately
Of those who thus sit down unprejudiced, un
heated, to examine tho evidence and deicrmim
on which side to vote, wo shall bo sure of most
if not u.U.
III. Hold meetings, frequently for business,
and have sound, sensible, well informed speaker:
when you have any; b'it don't consider this ma
terittl. If you have time to hear, hove a go a!
reader ttt hand with u first rate Speech or Docu
xnent full of solid information, to read, ami tin i
invite comments from those who can add any
thing. When you have County or larger incel
ings, sec that as many turn out as can, ami thai
the undecided are of the number.
IV. When you have put things in the righi
train in your own Townships (which ought no
to take a month) then look around and help you
neighbors.
? Whigs who travel.' You can do much foi
tho cause if you will. Take a package of the
right documents along with you, and when yon
meet any one who will rcud, distribute them
Many will gladly accept them. Leave some ii
Taverns, Stores, i.e. where you know they will
not be wantonly destroyed or smothered. Tin
humblest traveler can do much good in this way
Mechanics! Laborersi Speak to your fellow,
workmen who habitually vote the wrong ticke1
because it is called ' Democratic.' Ask them to
read what Whigs uif. r in behalf of the Tariff, mi
the Texas and Currency questions, and oiler t>
read with them a tract or speech in turn on each
side. You can purchase all you will need lor
trifle. Do not let our Protective Tariff lie swin
died away from us, while a few hours' effort may
save it. One day judiciously spent for you:
Country may save you from many days' idleness
for want of work or of ill.rewarded toil because ol
the depression of business. Wc were once robber
of a beneficent Tariff by the magic of an emptx
' Hurrah for Jack son I' and years of disaster anc
suffering weic caused in good part by this oni
error. Let us not sutler tln> to he repeated!
Whigs every where, and of every vocation!
our common cause is in your hands?the sound.
est arguments, the most urgent reasons will avai
nothing if you arc inactive and indifferent But,
il you work, we shall triumph overwhelmingly
The Conscience of the Nation ri volts at the Tex
as conspiracy ; the Prosperity of the Nation re.
quires the preservation of the Tariff; the Conve?
nience of the People requires a Uniform National
Currency; Justice to the States,stability to iht
Tariff, plead earnestly for the Lmd Distribution
Altogether now, for the Gooii Cause aud iu nobh
Champion I
An excellent Distinction ?The Editor o;
tho Columbus tGa.) Enquirer, in a very able ex
position of the duty of Southern Whigs in thi
the present contest, says : " Others nmy arrangi
?themselves under the banner ol* Polk, Dull $
?and Texas. Wo array ourselves under tin
'standard hearing on its ample folds Clav, Fax
< ujcoHLTSKN and the United Statis."
The South is fast coming right on the Tcxcs
question.
Pardon'.?The Presideot, as we learn from the
SL Louis Old School Democrat of ihe 14th inat
has pardoned David McDantel and-Towsoo,
two of the persons convicted of the murder nnd rob
yary of Cbavis.
The l.CfCo-Foco Con^rria And the Reduc?
tion of : oiTi'L,! .
Xo great public interest has bei n more grossly
neglected by tho present Loco-Foco Congress
than the imp .rtan*. and pressing question of th*
Reduction of P< stage. ?V ith tht ir overwhelm?
ing mnj ?rity, enabling them to perfect am) carry
. ut without obstacle any measure they really set
about in good faith, and with an expression of
ubltc sentiment so emphatic and unanimous as
i i prevent all possibility of misconstruction, the
Loco-Foco Members of Congress having played
an und lit is* suhieet and made a few Bunkum
.- tceches in favor of th'. reduction as';cd for,
- trunk back at every moment of action, and uru
f?rmly skulked behind wiinc flimsy subicrf.igc
when a single effort would have accomplished
the reform so much desired. They were soli tnn
. .? called upon to put a stop to ihe abuse and pl?n?
dern:" the pt ople's money which ate rapidly eating
their way to the very vitals of ottr Post-Office
system, ami which.instcad of a great public con
venicnee, render it a buni-.n am! a tax upm the
cople. The reform was loudly demandi d from
every section?the facts of the case were freely
and ably set forth by Whig members, who went
in heart and soul for the measure?the Locos had
ii abundant majority in the House ; and if they
had r.ot th liberately aetrtl upon the intention to
delude the people and cheat them out of their
?:-t and reasonable demands, the so much needed
Reduction would at this moment have been in
actual and sucetssful operation. Tlure is no
?nistal-c about tiiis. They lud the power, anil
they were carnesily urged time after time to ex
ereise it, but they have wholly refused. They
?if- opposed 10 the Red net ion of Poslage und the
limilin" and R> stricting of the Fr?nking Prir
ilene. Let it not be forgotten. This is an aiti
?:.<i in the Loco-Foco creed. Why it is so, or
what special reasons Loco.Ficoism finds for op.
wing the cheap and economical transmission oi
intelligence through the maiJs.it would not be
very casv perhaps to discover. Same of these
reasons however may be guessed at.
It is a truth which we surpect will scarcely
02 disputed that where facilities for the inter,
chnngeof thought and sentiment between man
md man arc most abundant?where men re.tc
most, write most, and hear most of what is going
m in the world about them?thrre are they most
enlightened, virtuous, prosperous and happy.?
['lie Mail f-vstem is the great anrta.the life siream
of intelligence, dispensing health and gladness In
the farthest extremity of our wide-extended Imd
*V"hy should it be obstructed iu its course by tin
combined and concerted action of a political
tarty, mih-ss that party feirs to give the people
hetp and available means of interenmmunica
? mi .' I< the Loco.Foco parly a party founded
pon the ignorance of the people, ami can it llope
to sustain itself only by the suppression o! infor
nation, hy throwing difficulties in the way
if a free iriterehansro of thought and opin.
?in 7 They //?// us a different story from this,
?ut thrir ad? belie their words : and when
they had but to lilt their hands to accomplish ell
lal the people so ardently desire in this mutter,
?ud were sure that a Whig Senate stood readv
to do their purl of the work, they were appealed
11 day after dav in vain. They talked, and p'o- I
?lised, and professed a great anxiety to comply i
with the i.'t m unis of their constituents?hut they I
lid nothing. They trifftd with the question?
leceived ihe country by hollow pretensions, and
?ft the subject exactly whi n: they found it. and '
. 'are they always intended to leave it. Nexi
rear we shall expect to see them charging the
Whigs with the defeat of the Post-Offiec Re
brm !
We d > not write this for the purpose of discus.
?"inc the propriety ol reducing Postage and re?
stricting the Franking Privilege; thai is a qucs
on Im) well settled to require argument now
Our only object is to fasten the responsibility of
he defeat of these measures where it rightfully
??firings. The Loco-Focus have m inaged to shut'
fie out of the question in Congress, and they wiil
no doubt attempt also to shuffle out of the respon.
stbility of having defeated the people in an object
so dear to them as this. But they will fail.
This Loco.Foco Congress, amid all its bluster,
us smoke, ils whole volumes of " sound and fury
I signifying nothing," found time to pass its Ap.
iropriation hills and to?refund Gen. Jackson's
fine ! to degrade itself by frequent exhibitions ol
i spirit i.f rowdyism disgraceful to the country
.nd to the age and insulting In the people?to at
tempt a grave legislative endorsement of Thomas
W. Dorr! and to w.igo a furious, remorseless
war upon the Lahor and Industry of the country
?v an ns-ault upon the Tariff) under whose he.
uigtiant operation the nation is rapidly rising
niiii tho distress and ruin cast upon it by Loco
Foeo misrule?to consume the time arid moncv
if the people by frothy and declamatory speeches,
md to load down the mails with partisan pam?
phlets and the vile effusions of'such reckless
slanderers and defamcrs of pubhc and private
virtue as Amos Kendall; but they never could
hud leisure to entertain the engrossing question
? it Postage Reform, with which the land was
npgmg from one end to the other, or to even give
II fair heating to the cogent arguments of the
IVhigs in iis favor, who were pressing, inviting
and urging them to action. Verily they will be
remembered._
Great WtU:; Unity in Wheeling.
The Whigs of Wheeling had a most glorious
gathering on Wednesday evening, at which the
greatest enthusiasm Was manifested?throwing
ihe demonstrations of 1540 in the shade. Z. Ja
cod, Esq. was appointed Chairman f the meet?
ing, which was addressed in eloquent terms by
?Hon. Mr. Smith of Indiana, Hon. J. J. Ckiitkn
hkn and Hon. Mr. Moreaeao of Iveniuekv, and
Hon. Mr. ;sir.HEscK of Ohio: after which resolu
tions in favor of the right Whig doctrines were
unanimously adopted, and the meeting adjourned
with cheer ou cheer fur Cj.ay and FaELiNGntrr
' sex, and e6eorled the distinguished .-;ic*!\ers to
the steamboit, where the crowd was addressed
from the guards by Hon. Mr. Nash, of Tennes?
see, when ihe boat pushed out into the at;earn,
imid the cheers of the multitude.
More of It. ?
"U'e are getting some rather exciting news from
Vi.uvoo now.a.days. Since the account of the
destructinn by J.kj Smith's Police officers of the
? Expositor ' press, (noticed on our First Page)
we have another mail from that region, by which
?ve learn that great excitement was produced at
lVa;suw by the news of the destruction of the
?ilieeof the ' Expositor,' and a handbill was is
sued inviting an appeal to arms. At a later hour,
writs were procured ut Carthage, the county seat
of Hancock county, and officers despatched to
Xauvoo to arrest the persons concerned in the
uurage : hut this, remarks the St. Luits Repub?
lican, we venture to say, will not be done. The
I iw is powerless fir good in that region. A ru
mor prevaih d at Warsaw that Joe Smith was ar?
resting every man at Nauvoo who was opposed
to or would not justify his proceedings.
"LT We see it announced in the Michigan
Stale Journal, that Hon. Francis Granger will
address the Whig Convention at Marshall on the
?ith July.
Education In Mississlppis
The Southern Reformer, pubii bed at Jackson,
NltBfiissippi. and one of llic ablcs'. papers at tne
South, id doing a truly philanthropic work by ex?
hibiting the deplorable condition of public educa
tinn in that State, und endeavoring to arouse the
I'topic tot'-.e importance of thorough and effi ient
action on thi* Btrangely neglected subject. Indeed
the Editor discloses a degree of ignorance union,
'he masses, which we could not nor should not
! elieve had it come from - less reliable source.
From a tabular statamont in tbc Reformer it ap?
pears tint, of all the- population in the Stale nbove
the age of twenty j.c-trs, exclusive of Blacks, one
in nine, or 8,359 out of 73,933 can neither read
nor write. In four counties containing p.n adu't
population of 5.055. one in seven is uneducated;
in six counties with a population of8,095,one in
-ix: in nine counties with 9,015 adults,one in five:
in five counties with .,696 population, one in four;
;a the two counties of Hancock and Wayne with
na adult population of 1,462, one in three, and in
i i the five counties of Itawamba, Leake, Newton,
Perry and Smith,containing iti aiu't white p-.p.
illation of 3,9."jfi, i.n'y one.haf can read trrite
Toe total number of whites in tue State between
the ages of five and twenty years is 64,251, and
ihe number of Primary and Common Schools
only ?>"?'-'. or one S ihool to one hundred and sixty
eight scholars. < !f the 64,251 scholars only 8,236,
.,r about one eighth the whole number, attend
school. In Winston County with twelve hun?
dred and eleven scholars there is only one school,
attended by twenty nine pupils. And in several
of the less densely populated counties there art
no school- at al!!
V- ui nny one longer marvel that Mississippi is
.i Repudiating Sj ite ? Can any course he more
insane, more nnjust to the Iiis.no Generation, than
this ol keeping people in such wretched ignorance,
when they may just as well be educated and intel?
ligent? Why, compared with these Repudiaton*,
'he Choctaws and Cherokee*, whom we have been
'earned to call 'savage,' are Enlightened Nations
What but Repudiation, Monocracy, Loco-Foe
ism, and the long train ol" evils ever sure tu follow
ignorance ami vice, can be expected from such a
slate ot things .' Surely no People cm be im.
pressed with the true spirit of Civil Liberty ant:
at the fameiiin^ remain ignorant of its Princ<
pie. The true friends of Mississippi, of Progress,
should look to this mailer.
Dinner lo Mr. Bolts.
The Richmond Wfn-r of Saturday contains the J
proceedings of the Dinner to Hon. J. M. H?tts.
which we h ive already noticed. In reply to a
complimentary toast Mr. Bolts made a speech
highly spoken of in the Whiff, in the course ol
which he reviewed public affairs generally, rid:
culed the late Baltimore Convention, denounce I
utterly the Texas Treaty?claiming lo know nn
sectional feelings, no Potomac and no Mason and
Dixon's line feelings, hut to he a National man
and a Union man. The Whig adds:
Mr. Rnttaa denunciation of the insidious designs
of the Disuni >u South Carolina Party, developed in
the progress of the Texas question, was extremely
cogent, and was lisi-n,-.! to with the most lively
;i ensure in the must intelligent mass we have evei
seen assembled.

I Hsunion, as looking e nilty it' lie iii I not plead guilt}
(rod, as Mr, Leigh ad led, us if he had acted to.)
W e have long had u high opiuion of Mr. Botts's

Xkw Banroan, 6th mo. I7th, 1841.
Df.ar Friend,? Enclosed is an extract from a
letter from C. M. Clay, in answer to an inquiry
as to the emancipation of los s! iws:
"(If so much value is a good name, tut to beget
confidence among distant strangers. But I do not
expect to cteape slander. The) are at lust resort?
ing to that here now,? hen all things else fail to des?
troy my influence. But'truth and justice nre mighty,
iiinl must prevail 1' The man who said 1 did not
emancipate any slaves, liki>?I never emancipated
anv of niv mother's slaves.?tlinl was also false !?
Ii is tru- I never emancipatml but mm: slaves, but
they weir all I owned, und I have incurred as much
responsibility bereb) emancipating at all, us if I bad
set free a thousand. I have about twenty-live
more slave?, winch are entailed ou uiv children bt
ui) late father, in which I have n life estate only,
and this is the cause why my emancipation has been
magnified. I propose making the condition of those
as j. .ui us that ui ibe freed ones?until I hope gene?
ral emancipation in the State will bring liberty lo
all."
I thought it duo our friend, that the above
should be sent out to put the lie upon the foul
slander th it was put forth ai the annual meeting
m New York laat month.
Thine for the slave, J. C. RAY.
Later from Kio Janeiro.?By the Hamburgh
schooner Carl Adolph, Prins, from Rio Janeiro, Ma)
13th, we have the following intelligence : Coffee wi .
rather plenty but not enough to supply the demand.
Freights continued increasing. Hides were scarce
mid hardly nny had been I roughl in from the coun?
try since March ; there are, however, some thou?
sands expected daily, whit h will be bought up im?
mediately at an advance on last year. The market
was glutted with American produce, which was lnw
and in no iletnuiui, on account of tiie numerous tr
rivals lately from the United States.
There is very little political news. Sonic little
trouble hnd been experienced among the miners,
which however was immediately quelled, by the
guards stationed throughout the Province cf the
mines.
A plot hm! been discovered of an attempt to f t
up an insurrection in San Paulo, the scene of the
rebellion in 1841. Troops wen sent to the Province
anil aii precautionary measures were taken to in?
sure qutein-'ss.
From Montevideo there is nothing new of anv
interest. The City still continued under bloc kail.
and was likely to remain so for some time. The
ll'iriinn had sailoi front Kio for .Montevideo.
The Duke if.A q nil a Hin! hri'te were at Rio and
making preparations for their departure for Naples.
Trial ok Pol.lv Bodlve.?The Richmond
County Court of flyer and Terminer assembled
yesterday morning, and the case of Polly Bodint
was called, when the District Attorney stating
that he wished to send up another count in the
indictment, the Court adjourned till afternoon,
when, upon reassembling, a Jury, after sonieui!'
ticultv, was "empaneled, the prisoner arraigned,
pleaded Not Guilty, and the case opened for the
prosecution by the District Attorney.
Treaty with France.?The Madisonitn con.
tains a treaty which has been concluded between
the United Stales and France, and duly ratifieu
by both Governments. The convention is for the
mutual surrender of criminals oilier than political,
escaping from one country to the other. ?
Fire in Illinoistuwn.?The large distillery of
M. N. McLain in lllinoistown, opposite St. Louis,
was entirely destroyed on the 14th insl, and about
3,000 bushels of corn and some rye nod whiskey
consumed. Estimated loss $0.000. We are surrv
lor the lo.-s of the building, tnu coru, and the rye ;
Out as for the whisky, we think it wus ' cousuiiitd'
in the most judicious manner possible.

[LT" A large Whig meeting essembled at the
Capitol in Albany,on Friday evening, in hearGen.
W iddy Thompson, of S. t'. our late Minister to
Mexico. Mr. Humphrey, (the Mayor,) presided.
Gen. T. addressed the crowded assembly fur an
hour in the happiest manner. He. crew an in
structivc comparison between Mr- Polk and Mr.
Ciay, both of whom, he said, he had known lone
and intimately. Referring to .Mr. Polk'snomina
ticn, he remarked ihat it probably surprised every
man in the United States, hut no one so much sn
as Mr. Polk himself 1 Contrasting trie public
servFcesof the two candidates, Mr. Thompson
said that if a mat. should undertake to write a
most pn.lix history of the country for the last in
or 30 years, he would scarcely squeeze in .Mr.
Poik's name any where; while, on the other
i-.:;i!. the most succinct record of public evenu
would necessarily contain the name of lleim
Clay on every page and in almast every parii
graph.
Of Mr. Clat himself, Gen. T. spoke with
:;reat warmth and eloquence. Ho hml kno-.vn
him, he said, long ami well. He had been ussn.
eiated with him in public life and had seen a
grtat deal of him in the social circle and in tht
seclusion of home. But well and intimately as
he had known him, he had never heard Mr. Ulai
speak of partt or of self. When discussing,
whether in puhlir. or private, questions of national
policy, or measures lor legislative consider.ition
and action, .Mr. Clay's sole thought seemed tobe
what will best advance the honor, welfare and
prosperity of the Country.
Thk C'ollf.ctorship ?We are requested to sa>
that Mr. Curtis never intended, and does not intend,
to contest the legality of the appointment of lio..
Van .Ne?s. Therumorto the contrary has doubllest
arisen from the purpo-e aiinotitieeil by Mr. Curtis,
when Mr. Ferris was noniinaied to th?: Senate us bis
successor, to resist and wholly disregard the threat?
ened " supercetjeas" whieh was to remove him from
ofriee before the Senate had tcwd upon the question
of removal. According to the usage of ihe Govern?
ment, the President has the power to make removals
and appointments in the rec<-s? of the Senate. In
this iiiMunee itie removal of Mr. Curtis is a violent
abuse of the power, and a contemptuous disregard
of th.-authority ofthe Senate, which body refused,
on Friday, ,?o ??consent" io his removal, and yet.
(he Senate having adjourned on Monday mllowing,
i he President, on t'ne next day, appointed Gov. Van
.Nes?. nf Vermont, Collector, in defiance aiikaoftbe
Sen,lie and of the ?irting remonfiracee forwarded by
a large number of oer merchants. [Com. Adv.

fallen 3 or '1 feet Iroin the alarming high, to which
il attained some two w*ek* since, und when it is

in lS'JCi completely into the shade, we are again
culled upon to note its upward, onward and destruc?

pected, as the accounts brought from the upper
streams lor tbe several days past have been verv
favorable to another freshet, and we would not be
-airpri-ed to see it even higher than the one we have
just experienced.
The river commenced rising slowly here night he
fore lust, and up to six o'clock last evening, .i had
risen about 12 inches; since then and .up to one o'?
clock to-day, it had risen about eight inches. I his
is ri-inc v.-ry fuel: two feet or two and a half more,

Difference of Longitude Determined et
Morse s Telegraph.?Among the many won
dcriul developments of the new Telegraph, one
has just ciimi: to light which will he regarded in
the world of science as deeply interesting. Pro
lessor .Mouse suggested to the distinguished
Arago, in 1839, that the Eli ctro-Magnetic Tele,
o-raph would he the means of determining the
difference of longitude between places with an
accuracy hitherto unattaincd. By the following
etter from dpt. Ciiari.es Wilk.es to Professor
Morse, it will he perceived that the first experi
mi nts of the kind of which we have any know
ledge have ro-ulied in the fulfilment oi the Pro
lessor's prediction :
WaSHIXOTOX. June 13, 15-H.
My Dear Sir: The interesting experiments for
obtaining; the difference of longitude through youi
Magnetic Telegraph were finished yesterday, and
have proved very satisfactory. They resulted in
placing- ihe Battle Monument Square, Baltimore,
1 m. -i i sec. .olio eust ol trie Capitol.
The lime of tlie two plucus wu.* carefully obtained
by transit observations. Lieutenants Carr aim
Lld a-sisted tne in these ohe efvatlOIlH. 1 in' Intt, i
was engaged in those ut IJaliiuiore. The compari?
sons were made through chronometers, and without
any difficulty. They were had in three dtys, anil
their accuracy proved in the intervals marked and
recorded at both places. I have adopted the result
ol the la.st day's observations and comparisons, from
the elapsed tune having been less.
The difference from former results found in the
American Alumnae in of a .second. After these
experiments, I am weli satisfied that your Tele
graph offers the means for determining meridian
Jitltinces more iieeurulfly limn w:i- before within
Uie power ol instruments and observer.-.
