With reference' to ihe elections of IS 11 the Whigs occupy lha tame relation, in regard to lime, which ihey J ill inMS.'W with referenco to Iba Presidential election in Il. And with the exception of lha distracted stite of the Locofco fiarty in referenca to their Presidential candidate, he circumstances, as tj almost every thing else, are nearly tho tame. In the State of Pennsy Ivania dotted Go vernor Porter hy a rnajmty of 5, PJtJ. And yet in 1810 Pennsylvania cast her electo ral vote against tho Locofoco candidate fur the Presidency. In lH'J"i Delaware elected Mr. Robinson (loco fnco) her delegate in Congress by a inai-rity of 50. And yet in IS 10 eloctcl anti-lncof i;o electors by a majority of more limn a thousand. Georgia in 183S elected Mi D maid (looofoco) for Governor by a majority of 375. Hut in IN 10 Georgn guvo a g'fod round major ity for the nnti-lofoco candidate for President. Ohio in the year 183 pa ve Shannon (locofoco) for (Jovernor a majority of 5,7'-i0. Yet in IN 10 Ohiogave the anti-iocofoen electoral ticket a neat littlo tnr.j inly of twenty three thou sand. Maryland in 1S3S pave to Grayson the loeofo C0 candidate for Governor, n majority of 159. Yet in 1S10 this simo Maryland gavo a ma jority for the anti-locofoco electoral ticket of 4,77(i. In 183S the Stain nt Massachusetts elected Marcus Morton, tho looofoco candidate for Gover nor, by a majority of one. Yot in IS 10 good old Massachusetts pave to the anti locofoco electoral ticket a majority of 20.930. In lSilS New Jersey returned to Congress n locofoco delegation, rlaiming n mnj irity of 0(5. This cla irn was not u Mowed, but tho Whig real majority was less thin that. And yet in IS 10 New Jersey pave the Whig electoral ticket n mnj ritv of 2,317. Maine, in tlio yoar 183 gave to Fairfield, the locofoco cundidiito for Governor, a majority of 3,3 2 s. Hit in IS 10 Mino gavo a maj irity for the Whig electoral ticket of 111. Michigan in ltvfS elected Stephens T. Mason, the locofoco Candida Ic for Governor, und the rest of the locofoco Slate ticket. Yet Michigan in IS 10 gave for tho Whig elec toral ticket n mnj irity of l,S0i. There wag no election in Tennessee in lS.'JS. Hut in 1S37 tho Leos carried their ticket by lS,,sO; and in 1N3.) they carried Polk (locofoco) by a majority of 11,000. Yet in is 10 tho Whit" oIrtcd ilioir electoral ticket by a nnj rily of 12,102. ' tWo take no notice of those States which went for ihe Whips in 1S:$S, and also at the Presiden tial election in 110, such ns North Carolina, In diana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Rhode Island, Con necticut, and Nsw Yoik, though every one of these Slates pave n majority for the Whip electo ral ticket in IS 10 vastly superior to that which they gave for State officers in 1S:JS; and that in crease of majority goes to strengthen the confi dence of tho Whigs that in IS 1-1 the same re mits will bo found.

DIALOGUE. 1 know of no better illustration of Ihe argu- ment between the advocates nl Free Trade and j the advocates of American Manufactories, than ; the following dialogue: Farmer. Well, Mr. A. I have been dealing with you now for about a year without a settle ment; how much have you got charged agaiost me? Merchant. Oh, never mind a settlement come, what shall I show you to-day? You want a bill of goods, don't yon? Hurra for ' cc Trade! Farmer. Well, may be I will buy something after a while, but I want a settlement first, and then we will commence square on the next year's account. Merchant. Ycrv well, then; your account is just One Hundred Dllars. Farmer. Fifty cents is now the price of wheat. I hear, and I have two hundred bushels, just enough to pay your account. Merchant. Oh! bless you my dear friend, I don't want wheat. Farmer. Well, then, I have got plenty of corn and pork at home, and I will bring you in that. Merchant. I can't take your corn, pork, or any produce; I must have the cash. Farmer. I fortunately have tho money by me, and hero it is receipt your account. Merchant, (counting the money.) All right. Now I hope you will come in often this year, and trade freely ; thcro is nothing like free trade I Farmer. I am beginning to understand your free trade. You expect me to buy goods of you, &. nt the ond of the year, pay you the cash freely. But I'll put a stop to that game. There is a lit tlo store just starting in our neighborhood by a friend of mine, who will take all kinds of produce for goods, and you have seen my last dollar af ter this I will deal with him. So, good bye. Now, change the name and see of whom the story is told. England wants us to buy our man ufactured articles of her, and yet refuses to take American Wheat, Pork or other products in pay ment, but demands silver and gold. The American manufactories f'lhe little store kept by your friend') will create a home and per manent demand for the excess of the products of e tsrm; tor the men who work in the manufac tories must eat, and if thsy are here, they will t American products, and thus wo will support one another, retaining ihe gold and silver, instead of sending it nfT to Knolanrf to nav for manufac- - r J tured articles, while they refuse to take one dol lar's worth of our products, unless the English crop is so small that they are starving. It is not strange that the party in this country who call themselves Democratic, league in with the Eng lish to put down our manufactories, and seek, as Jefferson says, "to reduce us to dependence on foreign nations." Pat. The Charleston Mercury is determined that there shall bo no mistake ns to the principles of "the party.''' Referring to the half-way sup- , port with which tho ttiston Post pretends to up hold the Tar ill', it says: j We it gret rjsee in B iston, the Pout, which we arc sure is with tho South on the TariiT question, j impairing the moral strength and dignity of the j Massachusetts Democrats, bv seeking TariiT sup- j port in endorsing Webster's declaration that ' the present infamous TnrifF law was enacted by Democratic vo'ea. No Democrat voted it r.s n Tariff man and on the principle of protection. Genuine Democracy it is not, which suitain Whig j interests. j That's plan. And what say those who dcclar- ! ed otherwise? What think 1 ho TariiT portion of ; tho party of this lango ige ? No Democrat voted j for tho infamous tarili'law as a iarifF man. So then Messrs. Wright and Bjchanan, and nil j others who voted like them, nro r.o Democrats? j Pretty sharp, that. Hut leave Mr. Calhoun alone, llo will prove yet that ho is the only Simon Pure. But t fie Mercury is not content with giving a slap at the Post. It handles the Syracuse Con vention, held in New Yotk jist before the elec tion, without gloves: Wo wish that Ihe Democratic Convention at Syracuse had acted ns fairly es the candidates in Wayne county; for there was a promise held out to the Protectionists in ihe Syracuse resolutions, which ihe Democratic partv of tho Union will never make good. We aro sure that their success with tho ncoolo would have been as complete, if not more so, had they unfurled the broad banner of the Democratic creed, in which "Free Trade" is tho first article, and iho pivot on which must turn our battles with the advocates of special le gislation, of an aristocracy of capitalists, and of unblushing bribery and nepotism. R'ght, again. Mr. Mercury. A promise of pro lectton was held out, which the Democratic parly of tho Union will never m ke good. Honest, too, and open! Wholly diffen nt from tho course pur sued by the party in ihe free States for in them this issue was, to a great extent, avoided. The Mercury, however, goes on to say: Bit even if New York had been lost by the nnnn avowal of the creed of the parly, it were ; belter than to have gained it by any indirection; and certain it is, that if tho principles of the Syracuse Convention on tho subject of protcc I tion, and :hc principles which wo era avowed in j some of the Democratic presses in ihe interior of : New York, are proposed as tho platform on which tho Democracy nro to be rallied, those who pro ! pose thcrn will find but few Democrats to meet, and unite with them, there, from tho other quar- j ters of iho Union certainly nono of tho South- j ern Democracy. ! Mirk thai! Certainly nono of tho Southern Democracy will support protection. 1 ree trade) is it-i motto. I nat. ami nouiinir cisc, s.ivs me Mercury, al way and every where, is the leading nim and end of tho 'party. And what say the Northern Democracy to this? Shall they stand forth on this subject, ns on others. Northern men with Southern principles? Wo shall sce.-Cia Gaz Interesting Jewish Marriage Ceremony. The j New York Aurora gives the following interesl-j ing description of n Jewish marriage ceremony,; which took placo in that city on Wednesday ! last : The parlies were the Reverend Jacques J. j Lyons and Miss Grace Nathan , daughter ofSeix- as Nathan, Esq., a gentleman well known and highly esteemed in this community, ihe cere- mony was perlormed in the synagogue in iros- 'bv street, of which tho Reverend bridegroom is I pastor, and the marriage ritual was read by his brother, iho Rev. E. Lyons, of the Richmond, Vtt , synagogue. The spacious building was crowded to excels, and never do we remember having witnessed such a dizzling assemblage of brilliant eyes and beautiful faces. The chande liers and candles around the altar and ark, were al! lighted; i:i front of the nrk. near the classic and beautiful pedestal on which the lamp is placed whicu is kept continually burning by the contributions of the pious, were the grooms men. bearing a crimson damask canopy, under which stool the bride, with six young la dies ns bridesmaids, her father and brother, by whom tho marriaire ceremony was performed. 1 The bride, an excecding'v interesting young la- dy, was neatly attired in a light colored silk, n white hat and veil. The ladies present were all dressed with exquisite taste, without unneeessa ry display in !eed, so much beauty needed not IIIU ll U Kit lUILtll Ul ll'Jtllt II After a solemn chaunf, Xha officiating clergy man tasted a glass of wine, which the bridegroom and bride successively raised to their lips. The bridegroom then placed the ring on the finger of his bride, pronouncing the following words: "Ilehol.l thou art U7ort to,t I n ma nritfi ibia rinrr according to the laws of Moses and Israel." After another solemn chaunt, :he minister a gain tasted a g!as3 of wine, after pronouncing a blessing, of which the following is a translation: "Blessed art thou, oh Lord our God! King of the Universe, who creatcth ihe fruit of the vine." After tho bride had tasted iho wine, the bride groom raised it to his lips, poured the wine on a salver placed for tho purpose, and on which he dashed the glass, breaking it into numberless frag ments. This ceremony is in commemoration (as: we perceived by the book, with which we were poiiiefy furnished) of the destruction of the Tern-; pie of Jerusalem and further, as we were in-i formed bv a gentleman learned in tho Jewish la ws aod customs, as an emblem of the frailty ; of human happiness. Another prayer was chaunt-; j ed, the concluding1 portion of which is thu3rea-J dered into English: I "Blessed art thou, oh Lord our God! whocaus eth the bridegroom to rejjice with the bride, and cause them to prosper. Oh! give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good; for his mercy endurcth forever. May joys increase in Israel, and sighs llee away." The ceremony being concluded, and congratu lations interchanged, the numerous assemblage dispersed, and the bridal partv repaired to the house of tho bride's father, in Yarick-st., where they received the congratulatory visits of their friends until a lato hour in the evening. May all their anticipations of happiness be realized We never witnessed a ceremony with the solem nity of which we were so forcibly impressed. Yiom the Baltimore American. MR. CLAY IN PKIVATF LIFE. Wo have met in nn exchange paper with n let- j ter written by Mr. Clay in lSviS to Robert Wick-; lifTe, Esq. of Lexington, in reference to certain; calumnies which some of his enemies had taken j pains to circulato ngainat him. It appears that ', these busy bodies had searched the records of Fayette county to find what mortgages upon Mr. Clay's property were entered there tho object being, in his absence, to parade them ns eviden- I ces, of his bankruptcy, without caring to inquire J whether they had been satisfied or not. Tho na-! turo of such a proceeding as this, in the csiirna- ! tion of an honorable mind, wo need rot dwell upon . Tho letter of Mr. Clay to his friend touches upon the unfairness of his calumniators in the i course they had adopted, yet invites the severest scrutiny into his pecuniary transactions. He speaks of a heavy responsibility incurred by him some ten years before, as endorser for his friends and then proceeds: "To that cause is to ha attributed my tempo rary retirement from public life, and the renewal of my profession?..! labors. 1 then resolved not to ask others to endorse for me; and that, when it became necessary for ma to give security, to pledge, in iho form of mortgages which have been so recently malignantly exposed to the pub lic observation. Most of them have been long since satisfied. Among the number is one for a debt of $20,000, for the payment of which you had ; : kindly become my surety, cvesy cent of which has Ions since been discharcd. J here are now subsisting mortgages upon my estate to tho a mount of ten thousand dollars; nnd before the year expires I hope there will not remain more than one fifth of that sum, I have hitherto met all my engagements by the simplest of processes, tlidt of hviog within my income, punctually pay ing interest when I i.uulJ not pay piiuuipal, und carefully preserving my credit. "I nm not free, absolutely, from debt. I am not rich. I never coveted riches. B it my es tate would even now, be estimated at not much less than one hundred thousand dollars- What ever it may bo worth it is a gratification to mo to know that it is the produce of my own hon est labor no part of it being hereditary, except) one slave, who would oblige mo very much if he would accept his freedom. It is sufficient after paying all my debts, to leave my family above want, if I should be separated from them. It is a matter also of consolation to me to know, that this wanton exposure of my private afTiirs can do me no pecuniary prejudice. My few credi tors will not allow their confidence in mo to bo ' shaken by it. It has indeed led to one incident,; which was at the same time a source of pleasure ! nnd of pain. j A friend lately called on me at the instance of; other friend?, and informed me, that they were! npprehensivo that my private affairs were! embarrassed, and that I allowed their embarrass ment to prey upon my mind. Ho came, there fore, with their authority lo tell me, ihat they would contribute any sum that I might want to relieve me. The emotions which such a Drooo- eition excited can be conceived by honorable men. I fe!t most happy to be to undeceive them, and to decline liner benevolent proposition." . Jlhode Island.

A Curious Trial. An oction ws9 recently had against 5 individuals in Lebanon county. Pa., for locking the doors of IL11 Church, in Annville township, upon their Pastor. The trial excited considerable interest, and a good deal of feeling was manifested on the occasion. Able counsel was employed on both sides, and ofier a patient investigation 01 tne wnoie uunr, ine case wasi submitted to the Jurv, who returned verdict of guilty against three cf the defendants. A Yankee boy had a Dutch cheese set before him one day by a waggish friend, who, however, gave him no knife. "This is a fanny looking cheese, uncle Joe, but where shall I cut it?" Oh," said the grinning friend, "cut it where you like." "Very well," said the Yankee, coolly putting it under his arm, "I'll cut it at home then." Singular reception of a Compliment.

Christ himself once hallowed it with his presence, and God adds to it the choicest smiles of his providence."
