Eae No learn from various sources that there is
strong feeling of rivalry among some of the coon office
hunters who are electioneering for nominations at their
approaching Convention. We believe it is pretty well
understood among the whigs that tl.e old line antima
sons are to get nothing, it they can be choaked off by
any thing shoreof open proscription. This is in retal
iation for the manner in which the whigs were pro
scribed by the antimasons in former years, when they
Were forced to do a treat portion of the labor and re
'aive but a s mall division of :he spoils. But,if they were
• tyrannical, they had the merit of political sagacity and
'lndomitable perseverance, and knew how to manage the
affairs of the party, while the whigs who then growled
against their tyranny.posscssed no qualities that should
anthill them to political supremacy. They had no tact
or sagacity in their party movements, were headstrong
and imprudent, and all they were good for was to be
used by the antimasons to carry out schemes that were
planned by them. As long as this was the case, leder
alism maintaibed an ascendancy in Allegheny county,
and in every contest the democrats kn.'w they had to
contend with a party that was well drilled, and led by
old experienced politicians
• But in the course of events" change took place, and
the w.higltthat followed in the hunt more to make up
the cry than for any good they done, and who were
continually tinder the lash of the whippers-in, are now
the uppermost, and they are determined to retaliate
upon their former drivers. Miley of the 013 antima
eons who are spoken of for nomination, are already
marked by-the whip for vengeance, and we suppose
all of them, or atjeast the most prominent of them will
be immolated byffse convention.
• Among others; we understand that Mr. FRANCIS
Keane, who is an original antimason and was one of
the principal pillars of the party, desires to be nomi•
slated for the State Senate. The emancipated whigs
have.become very indignant at this, and think it a great
pieces( impudence on the part of en antimason to ask
&rimy favors from a party that is lead by Clay whigs.
Mr armor. MASTIC is their favorite, and as he is a
mason, o( course, he will receive the entire support of
tbs Clay faction.
Therre is also some talk among them about dropping
MrDat;ascs and nominating for Congress a "mason.
Ac•whig" who has for the last seven or eight years
waged a continual and bitter war against antimasonry
and its followers. If they world do this it would be
a moot gross insult to Mr DARRAGH. In every respect
be is the equal of the whig who is spoken of to suc
ceed him, and among the coons we do not know a man
'that all parties would rather have for a representative.
But he was an antimason and this is the only objection
they can make to him, but it may be sufficient to trip
trim out of the notirnation.
The antimasons are now in a worse plight in Alle
s
.4g •
heny county than ever the whigs were. The paper
which they considered as their organ,has turned traitor
and on the principle that "one renegade is worse than
ten Turks," is now the most willing to persecute and
,proscribe them. If they act with the whig party, they
must endure the tuition of a hand of political bun
glens, who have not prudence enough to manage them
:selves, let alone the party, and to crown their misery
Aches hear it proposed to.place in nomination a number

Whiggery is indeed triumphant; they are enjoying

Gausby was seen actively engaged in throwing books,
china bowls and furniture out of the Priest's house,
and was also observed carrying off Dr 114oriarty's vest

lII:TLast Friday and Saturday were great days with
the Hebrews throughout the world, being the 3156th
anniversary of their reception of the law. The Syna

are adorned with the choicest flowers, emblematic of
the appearance of Jerusalem in days of yore. In
New York the ceremonies are stated to be remarkably
interesting and imposing.
The latter end of May has reversed the pro

MR. EDITOR:
The canvass for the Senatorial nomination is warm
ly contested by the different svitig aspimots, and some
of Mr. Dursie's friends complain very much at the
attempt of his opponents to make him accountable for
the passage of the present militia law, and strongly
suspect 'that the turn out of the "Darsie Division"
on last Saturday, was suggested, if not procured by
the friends of another, who is it candidate for Senato
rial honors. lilt is true that the friends of Mr. Earns
are electioneering on that ground, would it not be well
that his views on the subject of the repeal of Mr. Dar-'
sie's LOW, be made known. Mr. D., we are informed,
is ready to justify his conduct, before the people, on
that as well as all other subjects, including his change
from " Loco-focuisrn" to exclusive whiggery—from
" Masonic Whigracr:,' to exclusive anti-masonry — and
then bank again from
I exclusive antimasonry to coon

CONGRESS,
The Senate, to day, after passing upon several pri
vate bills, took up the resolution fixing the 17th of June
for the adjournment of the present session of Congress,
sine die; when, on the motion of Mr Sevier, its further
consideration was, by a vote on yeas and nays, of 24 to
21, postponed till Friday next. The Senate then re
sumed the consideration of the resolution of the Com
mittee on Finance for the indefinite postponement of
the bill introduced by Mr McDuflle to reduce the rate
of duties under the present tarifF,to the standard of the
compromise act. Mr Atherton spoke out the remain- 1
der of the day's session upon the subject, making an
able argument in opposition to the prohibitory policy of
the present tariff, by which the labor employed in ev
ery other bnuich of industry is taxed to foster a hot-bed
system of domestic ,nanufactures. Mr Rives intima
ted a desire to address the Senate on the subject; an&
at his suggestion, the Senate adjourned till Monday at
11 o'clock.
This being private bill day, the House went into
Committee of the Whole on the Private Calendar, and
acted on such bills as did not give rise to debate. and I
reported a number of them favorably to the Flonse.—
Mr Platt introduced a joint resolution, which recei- ,
ved its first and second readings, providing that the
Committee on Public Buildings be authinixed to cause
to be divided into lots, and to eel: at public auction or
otherwise, the reservations to the north and south of
the Capitol, or any of the lots that remain unsold at
this time, for die purpose of defraying the expense of
fencing and laying out the walks, and planting the
trees in Monument Square, in order to complete the
plan proposed by the Committee on public buildings
and Grounds; and that the ‘Vashington Monument So-
ciety be permitted to erect thereon their tnonument,
under the direction of the President of United States;
and that the said Commissioner shall sell, under a con
dition that at least a three-story brick, marble, or
granite building shall be erected within five years after
the sale, of all lots contiguous to or near the ettpitol.
It I. confidently stated that Hen N P Tallmadge has
been offered the Secretaryship of the Treasury, turd
that he promptly declined it.
It i 3 also stated with a show of certainty that Hon C
J Ingersoll is to tilacceed Mr Everett, to be recalled
from London when Congre-s adjourns. . .
Mr MenuffiellßA oirefell in the Senate a joint reso

GEN. THOMPSON, SANTA ANNA AND THE
MEXICANS
A grand public dinner was recently given by the
citizens of Greenville, S. C., to Gen Wieldy Thomp
son. in honor of his return from his mission to Mexico.
So numerous was the assemblage, that the tables filled
the piazza Of the Mn nsion House, as well as the dining
room. In his speech responsive to a toast in his hon
or, (;en. Thom pie $ll spoke of Gen Santo Anna, and re
-I,•ated many anecdotes of him, greatly to his honor.—
I is career had been remarkable from his boyhood.—
He had risen from the rank of ensign, unaided but by
his ow a courage and talents; both of which Gen T.
thinks he possesses in an eminent degree. His whole '
career has been marked by incidents, showing a mind
always fruitful in resources, and n courage, morel and
physical, that shrinks from nothing. He was a man
of high impulses, strong feelings, and at times, of .stor
my passions, which had sometimes led him to the corn
mis'sion of acts which cannot be justified or excused.
But his natural disposition is not only not cruel, but
kind and benevolent. Gen. T., mentioned many an
ecdotes to prove this, and said emphatically, that he
on no occasion allowed nn opportunity to pass unim
proved ,of doing a generous action, when he could with
propriety have done it. How widely does Gen Thomp
i son's estimate of the Mexican President differ from
