    The greatest liar always cries liar fust,
and our whig neighbor appears to act upon
this adage to cover up his own iniquity and
innate propensity to avoid the truth, which
10 strongly dcvelopes itsclCin almost every
article which ho pens. Wo "do not know
ns wc ought to blame him for a fault which
lias becomo so nearly allied to his Very ex
istence but wo do not think we are doing
our duly as moral censors, not to point out
occasionally, some of the most glaring false
hoods that he weekly diseminates through
his paper. For instance, as a specimen of
liis tact, in this way, we would mention a
singlo article published in his last paper, of
about twenly lines, in reference to us, in
which there are not less than seven or eight
gross derelictions from tho truth, without
the least particle of ground or evidence to
justify himself in his assertions ; in fact tho
whole articles is a tissue of falsehoods from
beginning to cud, evidently the oflspring of
a distempered and depraved mind, and must
havo proceeded from his confirmed habit
of avoiding the truth, and ilia determination
never to publish, it. From this the public
may judge how much credit is to bo attach
ed to most of the articles that appear in
that paper.
TRe. Legislature is to adjourn next Tues
day, the '25th hist.
VIRGINIA ELECTION.
The Whigs ctlll continue to boast of their
great victory in Virginia, with the same te
nacity that a drowning man clings to a
straw, and with as much prospect of being
saved from the tide that is now sitting a
gainst them. In the last legislature they
had a clear majority of 21 on joint ballot;
now, if any majority at all, it cannot ex
ceed four or five, including conservatives,
with a decided majority of the delegates in
Congress against them, as well as over
3500 majority of the electors opposed to
the Whigs and Conservatives united. Not
only this, but the Richmond Enquirer as
serts positively, that neither Wm. C. Rives
nor any whig, can be elected to the United
States Senate.
"STATE CAPITOL GAZETTE."
Wo have received the first number of the
41 Slate Capitol Gazette,'" a new Democrat
icpaper just started at Harrisbiirg.pnblished
by Messrs. Holbrooh, Htnlock 5' Hatton
We like much tho tone and charactei of
their address and leading editorials. Calm
and dispassionate, yet, firm and decided-
free from all that low scurrilous personally
abusivo matter which too frequently charac
tcriscs the political presses of the present
day. Such a paper has been long wanted
at the capitol of the state, and we do be
lieve that there is good sense enough in tho
community to sustain it, and we hope
that the proprietors will receive such a re
ward for their labors as will enable them to
" go ahead."
We have received the June number of
" Burton's Gentleman's Macazin-c," and
i we find it a charming number. This work
increases in value as it progresses' and we
think the editor has fullv redeemed all the
pledges ho has heretofore given in regard to
it. On its first page is a splendid steel en
graving of " The Rhinoceros in its natie
wilds," and in the sporting department there
te several first rate wood cuts of dogs.
I lie literary contents are superior.
A series of artcles, entitled " Sketches
from the Log Book of Old Ironsides,' tin
Congress Frigate," by one of her officers,
will be commenced in the July number.
A Tale from the pen of Edrrar K. Poe. Esn
who will hereafter be a fellow laborer in
the editorial field the life of a distinguish
ed American writer Romanco of Ameri
ican History Tales of the late War E
ternal Fire on the Cnpian Sea, &c with ;
treaties on Gymnastic Exercises, illustrated
by engravings, with tho usual miscellany
wHl form the contents of the July number
which will be ornamented with a splcndu
steel engraving, representing Shakspeare
performing before Queen Klizabeth.
The venerable editor nf thp TCnstnn Rn
tinel, Mr. Hutton, has transferred his inter
est in that establishment to A. II. Sun
man, and it comes to us this week in a new
dress and enlarged form.
Splendid preparations are being made for
elebrating the coming 4lh pf July at'IIar-

expected that President Van Bnren will bo
present.
