PARTY SPIRIT*
We do hot encourage acrimony in,, political dis
cussions, but we do admire an independent ezpres.
•ion of individual and public sentiment. 1 It incites
a vigilance.'end energy pedoliatly.chtracterisUd of
our government* as ** the land, of the, free nndtho'
home of the brave ” —it encourages that watchful
now which can alone preserve and perpetuate our
institutions of frecdomf and, when conducted in a
spirit of honest feeling,-must -, produce salutary re*
sutts. Those who hove grown cold end indifferent,
become warm in the interests of the country, and
through a proper exercise of their influence, accom
plish much good. As a community of freemen, it is
not only our privilege, but our duly, to inquire into,
and investigate the conduct, motives end principles
of publio functionaries—for, by such a course, wo
giro, an impulse to .virtuous action, and present a
safe-guard (q qut righls end inslUutions, and conse
quently it evidences an important and necessary
bearing upon our, welfare and existence as a nation.? -
But whciv,that spirit is directed lowardsmailors of
minor Importance—towards tho abuse and persecu
tion of any particular class of follow.*citizcos—wd
pervert tbo grand objects of. freedom, and we abuse
the privileges guaranteed us by our liberal .institu
tions, ' W 6 must 'ground oar adherence to party
upon the investigation and support of huWciflks, or
we subvert good order, end alienate those kindly, '
feelings of humanity which should exist among us
as a. community, with , equal rights and Interests* 1
Such was the example given us by bur pairiolio
sires, and their various lessons in (ho oauso of free- 1
dom should warn us of our duty in protecting and 1
cherishing the rich legacy which they purchased 1
through blood and toil, and which they transmitted •
to us for safe-keeping. It was. through party "spirit '
—through devotion to political principles—through
the. zealous advocacy, and support of. the doctrines
of democracy,: that they established the union under
which‘we enjoy so much prosperity end happiness.
They aimed' not at the overthrow of any particular
sect, but as a mass of Republicans they contempla
ted the happiness of all. In all countries, and in
every age, the usefulness of party spirit, when con
ducted with a view . towards sustaining .principles,
must bo acknowledged, and ehould be encouraged.
The contests between Democracy and Federalism
in Ibis country, are the best evidences of Us salutary
results. The motives and doctrines of both parlies
were freely discussed and exposed, and the mass of
community were thus permitted to form an opinion
end-make choice of the government under which
they could enjoy tho greatest degree of prosperity
end happiness. They adopted tho prJhciples of de.
mbcrdoy; and, with two or three exceptions, the
strength end energy of the democratic party, have
ever since kept them in the ascendant. Bnt the
osuse of our repeated trinmphi motile obvious to
every one, and while the democracy should be proud
of their course, (he federal party might lake warn
ing from .their successful example. Our party have
always contended honorably, as well as faithfully,
for victory, and (hey have always unfurled the broad
banner which displayed the political principles for
which they contend. While Democracy and Feder- 1
olism were fairly st issue, that party spirit proved
beneficial in its resells to tbe country—for by (heir
distinct organization end 'zeal, they operated as a
check, upon each other, and thus prevented an ex
tremity of political feeling which would bo intoler
ant upon the people, and dangerous to oar liberties.
But ore wo now so situated 7 It Is true, the dem
ocratic parly remain one and the same; but where
is the federal party 7 'Echo answers, where ? We
find them, however, with different names snd creeds
—hut we find them mutually contending for office.
Their names are as various as. the different tribes
of Indians, snd (heir principles are as opporiu as
(the poles. Odo faction are Abolitionists-men who
ate determined upon destroying lbs XJnloty andj»)iq
delloht. in Gutneoiipg . .dltcord sag , dTssentfoo.—
Another faction stylo themselves Antimasonss
faction without any settled creed of principles, but
who are determined upon annihilating every social
order, and who. profess great abhorrence towards all
monopolies. Then a third faction—and the last wo
•ball mention—eali themselves Whigs. They are
the strenuous advocates of every thing which con.
fers power upon the few, and avowedly contend for
all monopolies. Now, these factions constitute one
parly, and when they meet as one body, (he cogno
men of their principles is Antimasonie Abolition
Whigs,' “ A man cannot serve God and Mammon,”
says the best of all books, and (ho perfidious charac
ter of such a combination, is too apparent to ever
expect popular favor. They are a bye-word snd
term of reproach, and they are raorked by the de
mocracy. The will of the people is tho first ear
dinal principle oflho democratic party, and under a
Jefferson and Jackson that principle was fully ex
pounded, and happily administered. It is yet', and I
over will continue, the,doctrine of democracy,and
in tho advocacy of equal rights and equal privileges
—in their avowed opposition to oil moneyed monop
olios-tho democratic party may safely calculate
upon the steadfast and zealous support of tho patri
otic and intelligent supporters of freedom. With
such a party spirit they may bo assured of the con
fidonco-and support of tho people, end with such
party principles they can ever czpcct to pcrpcluaio
our free institutions, and promote the prosperity and
happiness; of tbo country. Then, wo say, party
spirit, whan conducted upon principle , Is productive
of much public good, and operates as a safe-guard
to the institutions of freedom; but when conducted
wilAoul regard to any doctrines of political policy, it
incites distrust in the minds of tho people, and in
duces them to guard against their operations; as
being the schemes of an enemy to tho government.
Such a parly aro anllmatons, abolitionists and rood, i
ern whlgs combined. They dare not avow .their
principles; fur foar of offending each other, and by
Ihelr contemptible coarse and collation, they rich.
: lCoQft, y ■•euro Ibo jealous watchfulness andopposi.

’ the paro principles of democracy, and oar country

of twenty thousand. The wagons are one to every

J last year, not one half have reached their destination.
SIXTY YEARS AOO—ST. OIiAXIDS DEFEAT.
OnTuesdify latfl, November the 4tbi U.!was sixty

American commander, wae defeated by.)th« Indians'
and British, in what was then called the Western
Territory, at ; that time a howling : ahd IjnhWpUablo
wilderness, inhabited only by wild beasts qr llio more
merciless savages. This same territory- is now a
populous ond flourishing portion of the Union, com*
prising many fertile and mighty States, teeming with
a hardy.and industrious population, and,containing
within Us limits a.largo number of
towns and villages.. Hero, too, do education;
civilization and the arts flourish in an eminent degree,
and where once was heard nought bul'tbe war whoop
of tho savage or lhe howl of the do

when tho hews of the defeat and almost utter anni

frontier town, bringing as it did weeping and sorrow
to hundreds pf hearths, and caatingjgloom and des
pondency over.life whole country. .Since that lime,
mighty events hare transpired ; powerful. empires
have rose and fallen;, and whilst all Europe has been
convulsed, time and. again, by internal ware and re
volutions, our own-country, happy.in its free inelilu.
lions, has steadily pursued its onward coarse! acquir
ing now, fertile end extensive territories, and yearly
increasing in wealth,.energy and population.,. Sixty
years ago, canals, railroads, and aleambeatSv wore
I things unheard of; and even the idea of a turnpike
I across tho Allegheny mountains, was scouted at as
an idle and visionary project, tho coinage of a brain
not blessed with sound practical common sense.—
1 Now, in every section of our wide-spread Republic,
do those mighty improvements traverse the land,
bearing our rich products to profitable markets. In
the great West,(lien a wilderness, but note theconlre
of population, the busy hum of life and business is
always heard. On those glorioiis lakes and rivers,
whore once’ tho'rod man, then the.'haughty lord of

THB PANIC.
Pending the late canvass in Pennsylvania, Bays
the Washington Union t the whigs made the mos*
strenuous efforts to frighten the good people of that
State, by creating a monopolist panic. con
dition of the New York money market; caused by
a sudden and unexpected contraction of the'New
York banks, was relied upon as a sufficient foun
dation for protectionist tirades against our commer
cial system, as tho prolific source of innumerable
woes. The whigs had been dealing in frightful
pictures to an unlimited extent, and for a long time.
The revenue bill was to crush the national indus
try, and the independent treasury was to destroy
the currency. But the fates werounpropilioue.—
The spirits, thoughcajled, failed to! come; and the
country , much to the mortification of federal proph
ets, and the discomfiture .clothe friends of sppcial
privileges apd .class legislation, continued .obsti
nately prosperous/- Xabor Tound remunerating
employment, capital found.profitable, investment,
and commerce found abundant freights; thb reve
nues of the government Increased; the currency.rer
mained healthy; and despite a foreign, war,* and*
political and commercial convulsions abroad,
precedented prosperity .was enjoyed by. the peopid
of the United States. Still the whig leaders con
tinued to foretell the coming of ruin, apologizing
for its delay by innumerable and conflicting excu
ses. But during the canvass in Pennsylvania they
assumed a more confident tone, and affirmed that
the.long-expecled'darkhess had set in—that a to
lal eclipse had actually commenced* They eager:
ly pointed to the money market of New Yorlr, af
fiming that the tarlff had deranged the currency,
and prostrated Pennsylvania labor by prostrating
the owners of Pennsylvania forges and coal-fields.
It has always been a favorite scheme of the whigs
to frighten the people bf the Keystone .State by
panics made to order, on the eye of an election.-
We trust that the recent returns will leach thetn a
lesson, and that they will learn,from the triumph
of Bigler end the defeat of Johnston that it is bet
ter to appeal to the reason, judgment, and patriot,
ism of an enlightened people, than to attempt to
frighten them by doleful .cries, and sheeted spec
tres manufactured by political magicians. We
have whig evidence of the materials which com
posed .those lately exhibited in Pennsylvania.—
*Tht general committee of whig young men held a
meeting in New York on the 17th, repudiated the
cry of distress which had been uttered in Pennsyl
vania, and bore fervent testimony to the, unprece
dented prosperity which the country enjoys under
the beneficent operation of (he financial and com
mercial policy of the democratic party. Thb com
mittee held the following emphatic language:
Resolved, That our country, now so free, pros
perous, and happy—so blessed with all tbal.is de
sirable In a land teeming with plenty—so rich in
the fruits of internal and external wealth—so
mighty in the possession of vast rivers and lakes,
which, are the great arteries of our continent and
its commerce, surrounded by the great oceans of
enterprise and .trade—*oltizens'of-a country emi
nently-intelligent, patriotic, and industrious—of a
coontry, too, in everything now indicating that
glorious future which has only been foreshadowed
by the historical past and the bountiful present,*’
&0., &c.
These admissions, coming from a whig source
of great influence in the Empire Slate, are worthy
of consideration, in view of the course pursued by
the whig party in Pennsylvania, and indeyd to a
great extent in all the States of the Union. They
acknowledge that our people are free, prosperous
and happy; that, the land is teeming with plenty,
and rich in-the fruits, of internal and external
.or* » thuteotrs w
glorious future. Such are the results of the demo>
orailo policy, which tho wbfge seek lb overthrow
by all the 'mean* which ingenuity can invent and
zeal apply. If our foes would scSk to accomplish
their purposes by sound, argument, or, by candid
appeals to facts, show that the practical operation
of the . present system was checking the public
prosperity, no one could complain of their conduct.
But when they rely on unfounded statements and
temporary clamors, on the eve of the elections, in
order to arouse the fears of particular sections
their conduct cannot fail (o Call forth harsh, Qnd at
the same time, just rebuke. .
Invention.— lt Is stated that a gentleman in Now.
port, Kentucky, it perfecting an application of elec
tricity for propelling a box containing lexers over
wires from place to. place on tho tuloarapbio princi
plo. The experiment over wires of six hundred yards
in length has, it is said, worked to k charm. ’ The
Boston Tranocripi says that parties in that city bate
-been for some lime past' experimenting for, tho same
end, with a good prospect of success; and that iho
project has been thought plausible by some of. the
moat practical men, who have contributed liberally
towards .its accomplishment.
1 Another Exvedition to the Arctic Ocean.— Tho
Aberdeen Journal learns that, in accordanco with
the opinions of tiro recent meeting of (ho Arctic-of
ficers at tho Admiralty,, it has been resolved to-send
a screw steamer to (ho Wellington Channel to pro.
seouto the abandoned search for the missing ships,
Erebus and Terror, but that it will not fro fitted out
(ill tho spring, tho advanced season of tho year ren.
doring it improbable that any progress could be made
up Lancaster Sound bsfbre winter. It 1« highly
probable (hat Captain Penny will be put in command
of the expedition, and that the Lady Franklin and
Sophia will again accompany him.
