What a change has come over the Whig party.. But a few months since, .confident in the election of him who had looked and grasped for years for the post which he bid fair to be eleva ted, The Whig party assumed a bold and insultir.g tone, towards the demo- .cratic pary. But now the proud tone of the party is changed, and chagrin and dismay predominate in the whigranks. Well may the democracy rejoice and congratulate one another that they have come out:of the battle victorious. The last hope of the Whig party was center ,esi on Mr. Clay.

FIVE MEN DANGEROUSLY STABBED. —A quarrel occurred at a coffee house, in New Orleans, on the 31st ult., be tween two along-shore men, named John Bradford and James Murphy, when Bradford severely stabbed Mur phy in the head and neck with a dirk knife. Rosamond Cheaneyder and Oscar Berlin, two officers of the Third Municipality police, in attempting to arrest him, were severally-stabbed by him—Chexneyder in the abdomen, and Bertin in the right thigh. Jose Her. nandez and Ferdinand Bonzon, twa other officers, were also stabbed. Bon ion being cut in the left cheek, from his ear to his chin, and Hernandez in the abdomen. Bradford was arrested, only when severely cut by a broad sword and overpowered by numbers. Hernandez lies in dprecarious and dan gerous state, and -some doubts are en tertained of his recovery. The wounds of the others, though severe, are not considered dangerous. Bradford is lodged in prison. Murtota tv PENssvi.vAst,t.—The Pittsburg American, of Nov. 4, records the murder of Flavius Spencer, by two men whose names are O'Brien and Johnson, residing in Alleghany town=' ship in Armstrong county. O'Brien and Johnson were returning home from town, when they picked a quarrel with a man named Hileman, a friend of Spen cers's, who came up at the time. Hile man appears to hays been in danger of his life from these two, when Spencer interfered, at which one of them struck him several times, while. the other came behind, and dealt him a blow in the neck which knocked him down, when one of them, it is not known which, jumped upon his head with his feet and broke his scull. He died almost immediately. O'Brien and Johnson 'fled. A reward, it is said, will be of fered for them. Spencer is described as having been an innocent and inoffen sive man. It occurred in the Narrows. about two miles below Kittanoing. A VICIOUS DOG.—Last Saturday after noon, in Baltimore, as we learn trona th; Sim of that city, a ferocious dog, in Granby street, near High, bY some means got out DI the yard and attacked a colored woman, wilt) W s° much in jured as to be unablestowm. i k hole ; she was taken to her residence in a carri.lge- He then walked into his master's hoe se; where found a lady and gentleman, both strangers.

The boat was taken up on Wednesday, having been sunk about a mile from Parker's or Latnbert's Point. It is supposed that the boat was capsized in the squall on Sunday night on their return 'to Norfolk, " and Edwards and Tucker drowned. PRAISEWORTILY AND HONORABLE.- The Mayor of Lobisville •ecently in formed the Common Council of that City, that he has taken the responsi bility to furnish the survivors of the ill-fated Lucy Walker with clothes and other necessities, required by the sud den and appalling accident that had oc curred.

A SIGNIFICANT Etc-T.—Rhode land—poor, abject, despised,: down trodden Rhode Island—is the only State in the Union in which Federal ism has increased its• vote since 1840. Gen. Harrison carried it by 1,977 ma jority. Mr. Clay has succeeded by 2,502, strewing a Federal increase of 525. We rejoice in this result. We are heartily glad that the Algerine des pots of ,Rhode Island, the merciless persecutors of the patriotic DORR, have recorded their preference for Mr. Clay. It is in perfect accordance with their principle—or rather want of it. Goon Bust::Ess.—The -HallOwel (Maine,] Cultivator says the proprietors of the steamboat Penobscot, will divide from $4O to $50.000 from the steam boat business the present season.

The farm of Mr. Carey, the superintendent of the Monticello Female Seminary, was much injured, and all the buildings on it consumed except the dwellings. The light was visible at St. Louis, a distani \ :e of more than twenty miles. UNFORTUNATE OCCURRENCE.--A young man named Scott, lately from Pennsylvania, was accidentally killed on Friday evening, of last week, by the bursting of a cannon at Mason, Warren county, Ohio. The cannon was being discharged to celebrate a political vic tory in said township. After putting in The load, the cannon was filled par tially with clay that caused the explo sion, a piece of folly that no man in his right senses could be guilty of. Scott was the mast who applied the match.— lie was killed almost ♦ instantly by a piece of the gun striking his breast. BETTING ON ELECTIONS.—Apropos of betting, here is a specimen, from a Michigan paper, which is the best bet on the,election we have seen. Some Yankee girl in offering to bet on Polk's election with any respectable, good looking ycung man, as follows : ..The stakes shall be the parties ; if Polk is elected, I win, and marry the gentle man who bets against me ; if he is not, the gentleman wins and marries me."
