Whig Oouiiis.
We notice in a lalo Danville Democrat
Fed. a remark ioinelhing like the follow
ing, we quote from memory having mis
laid the paper; that the reduced majority
of Catnble, the Democratic candidate, is
pretty well for a county that gave Polk
I oa in 18 14. An insinuation is here
thrown out, that the whig party are grow
ing stronger in Columbia County and the
Editor, no doubt, cliuckled complacently at
the idea of whigsupretnaey in the Star of
the North." Let us examine these preten
tions and see how near he is to realizing
li is Utopian dream.
Tuking the vote of the last election,
which every candid man will acknowledge
to be rather against us, he will see that
there were 330 more Democrats remained
at home this time, than whigs.
These added to Gamble's majority would
increase it to 1133. Now we presume it
will not be denied nor even caviled at,
that in this county, nt least 500 or COO dem
ocrats voted for Taylor as from 1814 the
whig vote increased nearly 700 while the
Democratic vote did not gain quite 200.
But suppose that only 2(10 or 300 Dem
ocrats voted for Taylor in 1818 and remain
ed at home, with the 330 then, and this
number, 200, must surely be granted our
majority would reach its usual 1500 and
1000-
We think Charley's rejoicing rather pre
mature, and may possibly again advert to
this subject.

The Tariff Question Settled.
The result of tho election in Pennsylva
nia has settled the question of the Tariff,
which was made by the Whigs the leading
issue in the last campaign. The Demo
crats were desirous of keeping that ques
tion out of the canvass but our opponents
would not permit it, and insisted that the
destru clion or permanency of the act of
1840 depended on the election of Henry
M. Fuller or Joiiv A. Gamble. The
Whigs made this the great question of the
campaign and as Mr. Gamble is elected
by an overwhelming majority, of course
the people have expressed their satisfaction
with the tariff as il is, and do not desire
its destruction, or even any essential modi
fication of its details. Is our Federal
neighbor Cook, ot the Danville Democrat,
satisfied with the decision of tho sover

Another Democratic Victory.
At the Municipal election held in the ci
ty of Baltimore, on Wednesday last, the
Democrats elected EIGHTEEN of the
twenty Councilmen ! The Argui says
"We are inclined to boast loudly of our
blessed old Democratic city, but we refrain
out of sheer pity tu the Whigs." How
considerate !
31 oil at Philadelphia.
On the 9th instant there was a very ser
ious disturbance and riot at Philadelhhia, in
the course of which there were three per
sons killed, and ten or twelve wounded. Il
w&s the whites against the blacks. The
keeper of a black tavern, the California
House, was charged with having a white
woman for a wife, or with living with her
as though she was his wife ; and to put an
end to or to punish this indeceny, or this
profligacy ,or w hatever it was, the mob took
the matter in hand, and proceeded, as us
ual, o la Lynch. The tavern was burned,
and other excesses committed besides the
homicide, which, i:i such cases, is murder ;
but some how or other, the offenders almost
always escape.as they will on this occasion,
we suppose.
ViT Many are curious to know why it is
that Gen. Taylor set out on his northern
tour, and proceeded as far as Baltimore,
where he spent some days, and then return
ed to Washington. Some surmise that it
was the result of the Pennsylvania elections
which stopped him at that point, and in
duced him to rr turn, lest he might produce
a similar result in New York. Be this as
it may, we have no doubt that the united
democracy of New York will have a com
plete triumph next monlh.over tbeshalier
and disorganized forces of whiggery in that
state.

The Post master General has establish

Esq., Deputy Post Master.
We arc giatilied to be enabled to make the fore

Tenants.
Wt have headed this article Tenants,
but wo desire more particularly, to speak
lo the Landlords in their favour, than to
give lo ihem a homily , although, before
we are done, we desire also to speak a
word to themselves. But first to the Land
lords. Some weeks ago we wrote to you
concerning the houses you built for those
who are your Tenants, and asked, that the
fashion of putting up for them sinall,uncom
fortable and inconvenient houses, should
be entirely exploded.
We come now to ask you that you give
to those poor men who till your broad and
rich acres, better chances to make a living
for themselves and those dependant upon
litem than as a general thing you now do.
You have been fortunate. God has bless
ed your exertions. You have accumula
ted a goodly proportion of this worlds
goods. Your neighbor has probably been
unlucky. lie has had a large family to
support, and thus, he, who once bid fair to
stand in the place you occupy, is now your
tenant. Think how you, in such a situa
tion, should wish lobe used, and go and do
likewise.
And vou, Tenants, we have also i word
for you. It has been our fortune to see a
good many occupying your position. We
pretend to know something about it. And
we know, that while agreat numberof them
do their duty and their whole duty to their
Landlords, others are sadly negligent and
remiss.
To all you, the golden rule, do as you
would be done by, will also most forcibly
apply. While we are nut agrarian, we
ask that the poor shall receive what is due
lo all men Yet at the same time, let it be
the highest aim of those under authority to
perform all their duty citizens generally
should have a more ample and correct no
tion of those rights, which, in society, are
due from man to man and should be more
punctual in paying them. Let all do their
duty lo each other.
ESctiheu W. Weaver.
We truly h ive so little time and room to attend
our Reuben, tlien'gwy editor of the Slar, lliat
had we not pinniped him Miine.we would let him
slide for the present. A liille excoiialion, ap
plied lo a small subject may not be amiss. So
here's to his "political distinction."
Reuben lias at length attempted to evade the
truth of 8;mu of ihe iniquities of which he has
been iruilty, and a-i a salvo for his fallen tot tunes,
feebly denies a part oflhe allegalionsin the count.
First llut he never saw or heard of the notice of
the Standing Committee, until it was announced.
Per contra Ihe original MS., in our charge,
and eeu by many, is believed to be in lit uben's
hand wilting,. Ho silently swallows the charge
of over-ruling Mr. Gilmore, to aspire to Ihe Seni
or F.ilitoi.ihip.
lint wh;d wont pompoidty dictate to
il'edi.v who-ie polar-star u Political Distinc
tion Willi Reuben, it will lead him into every
imaginable error, even lying and deception tint
evcepteil. This is filly sliown in his last issue
when h! denies having pushed hard to become
..n As-eciated editor in Ihe Democrat. And lo
i ap the climav of scoiinderli-m, he says it is true
he "spoke to the owners of the ollice to purchase
the concern." This is another ol his infamous in
sinuations to inj ure " covertly. Knave as Ken
ben i", he well knows we ore Ihe sole Proprietor
of the Columbia Democrat. Hence, we need on
ly a Id, did we luvo a liar, Reuben would please
us too well.

The fall election in Pi niisvlvania has been in
re.ilily a Waterloo defeat to thd Whis. Font in !
the city hJ' Philadelphia, when: th-y have car- j
einl tony tleelim for twenty year pant, they
ure defeated. Fore and aft, ribt and li lt, they j
aie rouled and dispeied. As'a sione, descend
ing a lull, increases its momentum with every
bound, so the Whig parly, in every succeeding c
lection nf ho year, have met with a more hignal
defeat than the lam. Only a year ago, Cell. Tay
lor cairioil the Keystone by an overwhelming
majority tho mol decisive, of the campaign.
What is the mailer now t What has worked out
this HUilden leveluiion among the steady people
of Pennsylvania? There is alwavs iin eiy solu
tion for a revolution. 1
The reu-ont are oliviom. The Whigs were dis
affected, ami their opponent united. On of the
causes ol' this (lis illeciioii w as bom lliuir coalition
with the abolitionists those red republicans, or
red socialists, of the United Slates who have bung
like an incubus upon the A big party fui years.
Another cause was tin split wiih the Natives,
growing out of the division ol the spoils. Anoth
er, the revolt in Philadelphia, against the misrule
and outrageous Con uptions ol iht c.ty government
compared with which, the mis. table gi eminent
of Nw York is a model of honesty tii d wisdom.
Another provocation was in thewoik of pro-crip-tino
ofCollatner, F.wing and company. The
sweeping exercise ol thi abominable sslcn. of
dividing out ihe spoils among the b -egai ly hacks
of parly, for party rvices. Ion had its effect.
lint all these in e mere trifles ; they do not ac
count fir tha di.s liter. General TajliT was well
recei ved in Pcun-.ylvania. The pe iple were plea
sed with the limit st simplicity and liankness of
the man. lie left a good impression among the
people. He is known lo be favi labln to a tariff.
i dis'-riminatii.g lor the protection of iron and coal
An administration taking that stand, ought to be
popular in Pennsylvania. What, then, is the rea
son of ibis terrible deleat ?
Brought lo the direct question, we must ack
nowledge tho corn. The ttieat and Hollicient
cause tor this Whig deleal, n ihe sirnelhal lus
deleated them every w her. ele the Cabinet the
imbecile, humbugging Cabinet at Washington.
What else could be expected ? Their wretched
policy with foreign nation', moie than all other
causes, has done ihe bosiii-.-s-1. A piliiul timidity,
or more ridiculous preti nee ot insult, has been
the card. The Secreiaiy of State with the fear if
an old granny, could no! venture lo speak above
a whisper for lepubiican sm in Lumpe : but, nip
ported by the desjoils, and those old pally hunk
ers of Hie "alien and sedition laws," :e could
promptly stifle the sj mptoms nf republican ideas
in Caiiadt and Cuba. And when, admonished (I
his imbecility an I his blunders, be lesolved to
play the fool with France, and kicked out hel
Minister tu kick up a row, and got up a war pan
ic, and put on his regimentals, i' mlrled only an
other chapter lo the puhl'c mortification. The
people could not stand it.
This is thii seciet of the general revolt. The
Cabinet, vi;h their fishy ioiiig'ies with Seward
and the abolitionists; with tin iv wholesale spec
ulations in Ihe offices of tbo country, under the
direction of Thomas Ewing ar.d Truman Smith:
with their weak, vascillating, and suspicious di
plomacyhave done it. We expect New York
to follow Pennsylvania, and that the Whig party
and ihe Whig administration, will go dow n, down
until Ibis weak and juggling Cabinet is dismissed.

whose adventures traver-n all Ihe principal cities

Home.
The great Slave Tkapfh of Philadelphia'
accumulates an immense fortune by Ihe Afiican
Slave Trade.

fi. The young Oittcakt oflhe great city, whom
poverty ar.d destitution have trained to the ways
of ruffianism and murder.
Aside from the interest developed in those
characters, the'work touches upon two great evils
which have never been introduced intoanvwork,
whether rf Fact or of Fiction. These evils
affect Hie peace of evry home.and the perpetuation

"The Nursery still lisps out in all ihev inter
liesides, they always smell ol bund and butter."
It was not so when I was a young man.
Then, women or Girls did not pretend to
come oul into company, or "set out," as it,
is now, I suppose fashinnably.teriiied ; un
til she could milk the cow i, and churn but
ter, and make dresses and shirts, and knit
stockings nnd was deep into the myste
ries of cakes, pics and puddings. Then
she was lit to bo the wife of u sensible rich
man, or of an honorable poor man, who
needed help. She could go into any pari of
the house from the garret to the cellar and
do any thing thai was to be done, and do it
well. But what are our girls good for now
a-days ?
Whether the necessary change of opin
ions, feelings and necessities has taken
place in the gentlemen, to make our mod
ern lailies fit for wives or not, I cannot
conjecture; but it is most singular, if they
do not like well cooked victuals and clean,
houses. I have "mused" upon this sub
ject often, and cannot fur the life of me im
agine, what little girls in pantaletls are set
ting themselves up as women for. It U
ridiculous and the parents should know
and teach them belter.
Before ihey are in any wise fitted to
come into company, either by education,
discretion or years, they are brought for
ward, and arc either spoiled by being tur
ned into flirts and eoquetts ; or ruined be
fore they were sufficiently acquainted with
the world and its wavs, to be capable of ta
king care of themselves. Thus folly brings
misery. These things should be looked
to with attention and care.
1 sometimes sit down in my easy chair
and think over the probable fate of many,
whom I know, unlitted as they are in eve
ry possible way, to fulfil the duties they
ate burning to assume. I muse with pain
over the many hearts that will be misera
ble, when the novelty of wedded life shall
have worn on"; from incongruity of tastes,
uncongenialily of feeling, and general in
capability. My dear Girls I love you all
will you just think of these things ?
