We are or rather were Whigi we are no thing now, being so used up, that nothing can be found of us. There Wing so few vestiges of whiggery left in the state, jt would seem pre posterous in us to arrogate enough of so in significant a remainder as td make its posses sion an object; therefore we decline. , It is, it is true, not exaotly the time to make a merit of turning, for it has been truly said ' No rogue e'er felt the halter draw, ' With good opinion of the law," .. and therefore contorts made at ,the whipping post,- or within singeing distance of the fires of an ' Auto da fe,' should not be admitted into full communion until after the most sahsfacto tj probation, still we intend to take the step, and shall make our convertion manifest by pub lishing in the course of a few weeks, certain wholesome extracts from the speech of one Duncan, member of Congress of these United States, to whose remarks, we thus, in advance, invite our readers attention.

The Hesperian September Numbers We place a higher estimate upon this periodic cal since the receipt of the last number. We ' feared at the commencement of the enterprize that the editors would not succeed in calling forth the talent, which, we well know is to be found in the West. We were afraid, - thati amidst the bustle, the business, the enterprize, the speculation of a new country, this most praiseworthy literary venture, would be suffer ed to fail.- Among reasons for hope, .there were many for fear, and they who have ever written and published, are, of all others,., meat likely to feel the force1 of the latter , We hope and feel ' that the days of experiment, to the -i Hesperian are over. It has succeeded. ' 'r ' This number contains many good articles . Girty, the Renegade," is the continuation of an article in a previous number giving a history of one of the most notorious actors in the front ' .ier tragedies of the west. ', It is well written i.i a condensed narrative style, "worthy of the pen-of the talented author. ) The "Notes on Texas" are good, though- rather hastily writ .too.' Reminiscences by'a Lady," are a series sif beautiful sketches, by a Columbus authorJ 6-3, whose name is not given Give us her came, Messrs. tditors, that we' may apeak of. her, and her touching pictures as she deserves. .Honored be the talented, authoress, whoever she may be. , The remaining pieces are gen erally good magazine articles, and the Selec ted Miscellany" is well chosen. ..;.V' v i -. Stbaukg. Copy our articles ae' much as you please, Messrs. editors make them your own, if you like don't give us credit for them, if you can help it. . True, it would look well enough, to see a- little credit occasionally; but it is but little wc care about it on our own ac count, and it is only on yours that we mention it. When a great swaggering blanket sheet transfers articles from our editorial columns to its own, we ehrug our shoulders and say no tlur whan we see other sheets praising up t!joc j articles as the property of others, we -o fstrpted to feel a little wolfish about the1 extremity when we find the editors of those same papers receiving presents in pay ment .for our paragraphs, we grow downright mad 'in earnest. ' We' have, within a few months, seen three several articles from our editorial columns transferred to, and standing in order in the editorial columns of a popular jour nal in an eastern city w see similar things almost every week, and that too in journals that have refused to exchange with us. We have an example of the same kind'befote us in Philadelphia ' paper of extensive circula tion, and, worse than that, there is in the same paper the acknowledgement of present re ceived by the editor in consideration of a para graph stolen, verbatim et literatim, from us. Go ahead, Gentlemen! , , We will make a repu tation for each of you. i . r ' The Manhattan AovsaTisRa. Our friend Smead testifies, under his own hand, that he has not left the Advertiser.

Right glad were we to hear of your return, for the world, it look'd so 'lone, and the winds blew chilly from thai direction, and we felt like sending in our resignation, and publishing our obituary, at the idea of your abandonment. Well; well, we had our jubilee on the occasion of the advent of your sheet. We gave the buys a holiday, (being they both had tho ague and could'nt work) promised them some money when we could get some and treated ourselves to some roast potatoes (we should have liked a little pork) on the occasion. Newhpaphrii. A npofltmnar in ntruillfl thing. Considered only as the vehicle of in telligence; with 'news of all nations' lumber ing through its columns, it is a very curious thing. Not to stop, to tell of its medleys and melanges, its contrasts and contradictions; its strange jumb lings of all. things human and di vine, physical and metaphysical, philosophical, mental, moral and poetical into one common mass, and its stranger juxtapositions of the heterogenous, and incongruous without refer ence to the consequent disruptions of the ideas of the readers, or deference for the rules of dramatic Unities, we pass on to tell of still stranger and more curious things still in re serve. It is of political newspapers that we are to speak those pithy and spirited diurnals and hebdomadarics which emanate from the press, each One under the paternal superinten dence of some apostle of a party, whose par ticular business it is, to whitewash the doings and dogmas of his masters, to blacken and blackguard those of their opponents to seize and appropriate to himself and his party, what ever happens, in the changing round of public opinion to become popular with the rabble and to charge upon his opponents every thing that the " vox populi" (which with him is vox Dei) deems malignant and injurious. There journals, while they are- ruled, a4 trymen or setts of men, id Weir' turn, rule the people; or wliaCis, so far as they are concerned, the same essay , to do so. . Having a : tremendous weight of responsibility hanging upon-them, their conductors are proportionate'y obstrepe rous and important. Like; Archimedes, they are only prevented from moving the world by the want of a fulcrum to their lever, though no impediment exists to their bearing up the globe, which they do (like Saturn upon their heads. Htilte'', unbending, with the fate of ' untold' centurios' and unborn generations' hanging upon their fiat, they grow enigmati cal as the Prophet Jeremiah, and lofty as the brazen serpent lifted up by Moses, in the wil derness. Their party is always high spirited intelligent, incorrupt, snd in the majority. 1 Is their party defeated! the people have been cor-, rupted, through .ignorance, or frightened by their opponents. Before election,, they con gratulate the people upon the prospect of gain ing aviotory over themselves after election they exult as if it had been achieved over a reg iment of ragamuffins, or whine as if the raga muffins had gained the victory over them.' In fine, the business of a political newspaper w,"lo drive, to cajole, Jo argue, to hum hug, .to gloss over, to boast, to bninboosle and to predict. It is a life -of -disquiet, of .contradiction, of res ponsibilities, -of pains, of labors and of every variety of mishaps to be its' editor? Does it not furnish matter for. a philosopher to exam ine, for a moralist to weep over? let not a political that .is, a thorough -faced party newspaper the most ridiculous of things with its solemn appeals', high-sounding exhortations, pathetic (entreaties, or oracular warnings and thundering denunciations, full of fire and fury its facts, its fancies, its statistics ''without datvJts interrogations without answer, "and exclamations without point?.

Fafrt'ef. NO PARTY MEN. - V - The celebrated Dean .Swift, in a passage in one of his essays, thus felicitously hints offthe true character of a 'no party man:'. , - 'A Mas ok, so Party. Whoever !gives himself this Character, you may depend upon it, is of r party; but itissuch a party as he is asha med to own. For, even while fie says he is of no party, you may observe from the whole drift of his discourse that he is plainly prejudiced in favor of one party, and that too, always the worst. And the true reason of his not declar ing is that he thinks the party not yet strong enough to protect him.' Tbe justice ofthe cause or the goodness of the intention seems to be wholly out of this gentlemen's scheme. Tho only distinction he goes by is to be poli tically of no party, that he may be occasional ly of either. Others there are, who are really of a party, and don't know it, they carry no de signs, which are kept secret from them; and these indeed are such insignificant tools of a party That they may properly enough be said to tie or no party; they are machines purely pas sive; and, without any will of their own, obey the impulse of the wheel that moves them. But you shall never hear a man of true princi. nles sav he is a man of no nartv: he declares tie is of a party, if resolutely to stand by and de- tend the Uonstitution must be called being or a party. But the other party, it seams, must be divided into two sorts ; those who are of a party, and those who are of no party at all, With the gentlemen who apply this latter ex pression to themselves, I would .beg leave to reason thus; either tney are ot a party, or they are not; if they are, they prevaricate grossly (not to use a more unmannerly expression' while they give out the contrary: if they are not, they ought to be ashamed of such an infa mous neutrality, and of deserving that caure which they are bound in honor and conscience to detend.' , . , Van Ajsbdhoh in thb Lion's Dtn. Many of our readers recollect the daring feats of this wild beast tamer, who took over his cage of animals to Jjonaon last summer, to astonish the cockneys. The English papers brought by the Royal William, relate the following; 'Van Amburgh narrowly escaped instant death from a furious attack by one of his tigers, during a rehearsal at Astley's. From the statement ofthe affair given in the John Bull, it appears that the 'Lion conqueror of Pom peii,' as he is called, wishing one of his tigers to perform a certain feat, which the animal was utterly unable or unwilling to accomplish, had recourse to serve corporal punishment, which chastisement he inflicted with a large horsewhip. Smarting under the pain of the lash, the animal became incensed, and sudden ly sprang upon Mr. Van Amburgh, who was instantly nurfed with violence to the ground, from the strength and weight of his incensed assailant. Van Amburgh instantly nreceived the intei.tion of the annua', which was that of teanng him to. pieces, and with the courage and presence of mind which few men possess, eizeu ins job oy inn up 01 ine lower jaw, and thus pinioned him as a bull doe would an ox. A long and fearful struggle now ensued, in the course of which both the man and the tiger rolled over several times. At length Mr. Van Amburgh got the better of his foe, by throwing mm on nis obck, at me same time kneeling on his stomach, and with bis other band, which was still unengaged, commenced etriking the prostrate "ivmnl.tf'ltU Urn clenched fist, the blowe following in quick succession over the face, and particularly the nose, until the blood followed from the subdued animal, who here quivered under the grarp of his conqueror. At length Mr. Van Amburgh, preceiving that he had completely overcome him, released his hold, and the animal, finding hiniself at liberty, retired a short distance from his master, and crouched down, as if severely suffering from the punishment he had received.' ,. . : Ocbah Steam Navigation. The editor of tho New York Star illustrates in a forcible manner, by the relation of the following an ecdote, the intimate connection which ocean steam navigation is about to establish between Europe and America: ' ' ' A smart dapper little fellow, with a pattern book under his arm, called in at one of our large carpet warehouses: 41 1 have come, sir, for some orders here is my pattern book;; should be happy to serve you." The proprie' tor after turning over the leaves, said to the agent, " will you have the goodness to leave this booTt for a day or two, and I will send it to your lodgings." ' Bless you sir, I have no particular lodgings, 1 arrived in the Great Western, took with me a valise and six clean shirts; only 'used three on the passage.'
