ocmg now much lower in price than fur many years
past, a curious tact has transpired. It appears that Le

SfTATK EI.KCTIONS.
MAPI LAND.— ,\s we stated incur last paper, the
Imcu 1' isms will have a decided majority of li on joint
ballot in tlio next Legislature of thin State—whereby
the A\ logs will lose a Senator in Congress—-that is, un
less the \\ log majority in the Senate should imitate
the example of the Loon Koc > majority in the Senate of
Tennessee, and refuse to go into att election. This
course, wo see, is already recommended hy a \\ big pa
per in lialtimore. Hut we hope it will rereive nn coun
tenance from tint Whig party. They are bound to
make the election, hy the express requirement of the
constitution,and hy their own solemn oidigalion, under
oath, to obey that requisition. And u<§vinlalion of lliat
imperative duly by their opponents in another State will
justify them in following the iniquitous precedent. “JW
just, and ft.nr not.”—It is true, the Whigs have l .iit ll*
ascendancy in Maryland, not hy their weakness, hut by
their divisions—but this is their own fault, and they
ought to pay- the bitter penalty of their folly. If, having
the strength, they elnsiee to dcprivethetnselvrsofitsad
vaiitages, tiny have no right afterwards, hy a factious
course, to endeavor to snatch from their opjioncnts the
^liuieli Is of iheir supt rior wisdom mid l.ettcr discipline._
1 hat the \\ hips have lost Maryland hy their own sui
cidal course, is manifest hy the following paragraphs
from the lialtimore Patriot:
“Those who arc familiar w ith the political character,
of the several counties in ibis Stale, will he immediate
ly strunk with the liirt. that the election has been lost
to the \\ logs, hy divisions in their own ranks, whilst
in IK. county was the strength of the Lueu Focus di
vided hy dissensions. The Whigs had six candid iU s
in Montgomery, where only four could he elected,
and, of consequence, two I,net. Focus slipped in. Ill
Somerset, there were seven Whig eamlidalis running,
and there again the Loro Focus were enabled to elect
two more delegates. Anil in Worcester, there were,
at one time, as many as twenty Whig candidates in
the lield, and though most ot these retired as the dav of
eleetii.il approached, yet a sntliricnt number, beyond
wl.at the enmity was inn I led to, remained as candidates,
and the Whigs list another candidal- there:—making it!
I he.so three mimticB—Montgomery, Somerset and Wor
coster—five delegates, lost l.y a want of union and bar
ninny among the \\ liigs. Had there been no division
in that parly, we should have elected these five dele
gales, and instead ol a Loco Fisa, majority of six on joint
ballot, there would would have been a \V big majority
of four, and with the third delegate from St. Mary’s, it
majority of five.
••This election, though it has list ns tho I'nited
States Senator, has secured tons the Senate of the Slate,
and at the same time has confirmed the Whig oharaetrr
ol Maryland. \\ hat the l.oeo Focus pain, they "ain
not hy their superior nnmlicrs, hut hy our divisions
“C litr triends abroad then, need lie under no apprehen
tion for the vote ot Maryland in tin. Presidential contest
ol IS44. lu that contest we shall have no divisions—
no persona I content ions.”
GKORGIA.—The Aligns a Chronicle of the 8th
inst. brings us returns from ”0 counties, w ht,,li, it says,
show about thesamo result as that lor Governor in 1811
"Our returns for members of the I legislature (it adits.)
are rather mure favorable f r tho Whigs than our for
mtr report, but we have very little hope that the Whigs
have circled a inaji rily in the Legislature.” This re
suit does not disappoint us. We shall not despair,
however, of seeing Georgia “right side tip” in 1811.
We were beaten them in l,s;)8; but in 184(1, there was a
Whig majority of 9CKK1! —In the thirty counties heard
from, the Whigs have lost 20 members of the Legisla
ture, and gained I." —Nett loss,
( ONNRI I'lC 1 I'.—The annor.l town fhx'tioiis in
this State show a large aereessiun to tho Whig ranks
"We have heard enough, (says the Now Haven Palla
dium.) to satisfy ns that Conueelietit is redeemed from
the thraldom of Loco FuCoism, and will next Sprino
elect tlie Whig ticket by an overw ludming majority."
C1?" W e have rarely seen a more strained eiftrt to
magnify a mole-bill into a mountain, limn that exhibited
by a clever, but certainly tut iwngiiiiilire “.Muller O’
Fuel” correspondent of the last Republican. We bad
referred, some days age, to tbe circumstance, tbrt, in
tint olden lime, the three great interests of the country,
manufacturing, agricultural is commercial, were toasted
iii connection at our national anniversaries, as frienil.s,
i and not as rivals—as elements in l::tnnouiouHcoml)inntion,
; and n»»t as opposing forces, each seeking to destroy the
I other. And in doing so, we inadvertently, and without
being aware of tlm fact until our attention was nr
j rested by tbe solemn comments of tl.c writer in question,
placed "manufactures,” instead of “agriculture" first in
tbe category—and from this circumstance our acute erit
ie argues, that we "therein show that the protection of
matmfaetures is (our) paramount object.” We shall
hereafter have to weigh our words and scan our seiUuti
ecs w itb rather mere particularity than is cither ennimen
or always convenient to an editor, w ho, in tho Imrrv i f
bis various employments, has not time always to guard,
in the precision of bin style, agamst tbe misconceptions
of his over-watchful opponents. We assure tbe Repub
I Iran’s carres pendent that lie wholly iniseonccivcs our
sentiments. .Agriculture we regard as tlm basis of the
nation a wealth—and asbv tar tbe most important, sepa
rately considered, of our industrial pursuits—Next in
; importance is Commerce—and though wo were unfort u
nate in our collocation of words, Manufactures is the
least so. lint Agriculture without Commerce is a bead
without feet—it cannot move a peg; and without Maim
facturcs, it is a body without arms—it may move, but it
can it .t reap the benefits which flow from the sound
ness ami vigorous exercise of all the faculties. This
similitu de, our commentator may call “stuff” as much
ax lie pleases—but if it is, it is stuff of the right sort—
not such as dreams aro are made of, like tbe theo
ries of the Free Trade school, but such as finds its
way at once to tbe judgments of plain men. anti re
ceives the sare-tion of coimnun sense (moplc. To the
arguments vfMatter C> 'Fact, we donut now dcsem to
reply.
TENNESSEE.—The Legislature of Ton iirssre

Mr. \\ cbutcr, in lus recent xpo.'cti at Doato;i, tio1< r»e
j caaion to assume aoreral very singular grounds, for t|,„
pttrpweof vindicating the propriety of his recent course,
i and of showing the correctness of his ow n position as a
Whig, sustaining an Anti-Whig administration. We.
have already noticed some of his assumptions; hut wB
have omitted to refer to that one of them, which is per
haps the most remarakldc of all—to wit, that one of thn
principal objccti of the atruggle hy which the Whigs
effected the overthrow of the Van Boren administration,
and the election of “Tippecanoe, anil Tijler Ion,”
the adjustment ot the dilfcrcnccs betwern Great Britain
and thn United States! Wc were absdotoly startled
when or foil ml, in Mr. WiLslcr’s catalogue ofduties.to
which the \\ higs were specifically pledged, that this
quostion is placed in the very front rank, by being dwelt
upon with peculiar emphasis, (and, doubtless in conse
fjucnrc of the favorable manner in which the treaty has
been generally received hy the community,) with mark
ed self complacency. The hero of his own Epic,
lie narrates his exploits in a lofty Homeric key; and as
il with the special purjiose of monopolizing the honors of
the triumph over the strong common tense and powerful
lofric of I.oril Ashburton, expressly intimates that Me
ttVeside/if is entitled to no share of the victory, having
•^Jjwn the “entire responsibility” of the results of tho
negotiation upm the Atlantean shoulders of his “Great
Secretary.” He pourtrays the outlines of his di
plomatic achicvincnt, in luminiutanl self flattering
strains, as if to boast that “Peace hath ils laurels ns well
as War”—with which he stood crowned, hy his own
hand, amidst that “sea of upturned laces” tint greeted
the conquering hero on his return from thn theatre of bis
glory—the triumphant asserter of one of the IVhitf prin
ciples n( \?\0l Itisnopartof our intention to deny to
Mr. Webster any portion of the credit he may deserve
i for the skill and ability with which he conduelcd the nr
I goliath mi with the British minister, or for its pacific ter
; initiation,—though, as wo have heretofore had occasion
to say, in re for ring m t),e terms of the treaty, wo do not
by any means look upon it as a very brilliant fetther inlii»
cap. But even if Mr. W. bail sneets ded iu adjusting,
up mi term j prrfeetly satisfactory to tie- wli do American
people,the controversies between the t wogovernincnts.we
should still deny lliat the question ii»e!l had the remotest
[ connectien with the great struggle of 1840, or the sligh
test influence upon its result. It may, indeed, have
been complained, that Mr. \ an Ituri n was somewhat
tardy in bringing the negotiation to a rinse; but in all the
disciiss'ous ot 1840, in the newspapers, in Congress, and
upon the hustings, the subject of our foreign relations, if
ever adverted to at all, was only incidentally and very
slightly mentioned. Wc go linker and say, that, al
though Air. Webster,by his ctjuhitvw of temper and su
avity el manner, as well as his unquestioned ability,
may have been the most suitable man in ilm l -
niun to is .la! net that negotiation, jet it cannot
be doubled that its result is at liet attril titaUa
less to liia personal influence and to his intellectual pre
eminence titan to the spirit in which the British guv
eminent instructed its minister to act.—l.onl Ash.
burton earne to preserve peace, and not to quib
ble about unimportant matters, or to quarrel iiimn mere
points of lorin and etiquette; and it is Lcrausc became in
that spirit, and because he was met in a like spirit,—both
countries being sensible of the importance of preventin''
,i rupture, the eonseipienees of which must have been
most injurious to both, and the t» rinitiaticn of whieh
nondnd was sagacious enough to foresee ,—iIsai the ne'
gulialiou w as so speedily settled, on t* run mutually an
isfaetorv to the respective parties. And it would, no
doubt tint, have been so settled, bail Me Van iiuren con
tinu'd m power, nr bad (irn. Harrison called some oth
er loan than Mr. Welistc r to the Departin' nt ol State, < r
bad Mr. W. seen sufficient reason, in the events of the
!*'.\tra Session, with the other members of the Cabinet,
■ to have separated hiinsi If from Mr. Ty lor. So far is it,
indeed, from being true, that the adjustment of our quar
rel with (treat liritain was une of the main objects of tho
, Whig struggle in 1810, it is manifest that on that sub
| ieot, there w as no difference bnuveon the tw o parties.—
: bail’ll of lliptn was squally sensitive to the grievances of
j which our government complained—each was equally
determined to demand a redress of tli i-sp grievances
and each was equally anxious to effort that redress bv
peaceable measures. The Whig and I,nco-Koeo parties
were never, therefore, arntyed against each other on this
subject, al all—and it is absurd in Mr. W<lister, as will
I as insulting to the Van Hitrrn parly, to assume that tho
pacific adjustment of i ttr differences with Kngland, on
lionurahle terms, is one of the If 7iig measures, coimimma
i led by Ibis 1/Vii/f ndmiiiihtratioi), of which Daniel Well
-ter is llie sole ff /i/g member! It was, however, per
haps, natural that 'I r. W ehster should etidi aver to nnl>«
as miieh capital as possible out of this negotiation, a-it
is the unly plank to which he can grasp, fir the re
, demption of his integrity as a politician, lint even that
i frail support must fail him. The declaration tint the
settlement of this question was one of the main object* of
the Whig struggle in 1840, is met by both parties with
taunt and jeers, to w hich the Secretary of Slate, unless
J his feelings be as callous as the hide of the rhinoem#,
| cannot he insensible.
j The truib is, (and it lias never heretofore, we hclirve
I been doubted,) that Air. Van Duron's administration
was overthrow n, because of tho disastrous effects of in
dnmestu' jinlify UJXJII fill the great interests of the wiiin.
; try—agricultural, commerrinl and manufacturing; and it
I was w ith a view to effect a change in that policy, that
the great Revolution of 1840 was achieved. That wn
the main—we might almost say the exclusive—object ef
the great body of the Whigs. In their efforts to iccom
pl-sli ibis object, however, they have been foiled, by the
death oi Hen. Harrison, and the treachery of Mr. Tyler*
And w e conceive that it is only necessary to state that
had the former lived. Air. Webster would have been In*
ardent supporter in the adoption of all those tneasnrr*
l hat have been defeated by Mr. Tyler, to whom nevrr
tholes* he still clings, and even censures those W liig*
who w ill not so far compromise their principles as is
sustain the man who has basely trampled thru* under
foot, to satisfy the world that "Modern |)eginrraev 1
lias reached and corrupted the most powerful wind of d-*
age.

(,‘l that Mr. Webster took occasion to denounce tlic w®,n |
bersot the late Whig Convention in Massachusetts, fr
having, as lie chose to assert, transcendod their p*wcrs.
in nominating candidates fur the Presidency and Vi<*
Presidency. Tlie Secretary seemed to forget that t'|fl
members of that body knew, at least as well o*» be, the
extent of the authority with which they hail been clothe
by tlieir constituents; or lie might at least have int**rr" j
that when a body of 1500 delegates unanimously 3,11
enthusiastically nominated Mr/ Clay a* Preside'■
though they might not have baen specifically instruct' I
to act in the premises, it was a very fair indication ofl,i
wishes of the people, But the people themselves !,aT*
