This is one of the greet issues of the esetest, and we ire glad that they have set it forth.- -Of course, the democratic party, which is opposed to *Ore palpable humbug of taking money with one hand out Of dmpeirlic pocket, and grasping at supplies from ' mimes with the other, cannot favor this distribu- Nicassaistips.

It will increase the number of officers at Washington and throughout the country, as we have ease by thedistribution of the surplus revenue in 1838. It is, therefore, congenial to federalism to advocate this .orletste. -They skelare in fever of the one -term principle. To tit we haverno objection: it is of no importance; they •eaa make nothing of it, fur democrats du not oppose it. Thai wish, they say, further limititions of the Exe anise power of removing officers; and they wish to abol 4sh the Veto power. The duplicity and falsehood of these whigs are absolutely sickening. During the month they had the government, they thought of noth -lag else than of thrusting democrats from office.— PRANK GRANOCR, who was Postmaster General, re moved h's thousands, and in a recent speech, said if he -bad bad a few weeks mare, be would have doubled the "anmber. Thus does Whig practice bear out whig pro. Levitate. The unscrupulous, ambitious Clay, whose *el -1 fish schemes have been prostrated by vetoes mote than -once, and who has had the mortification to see every weto of importance fully sustained by the public voice. may well exclaim against the veto power. But men who are disinterested, and who have observed that the Veto power bas - alsrays been exercisa.on the side of and to defend popular rights, will never consent to its abolition, This is all of importance that they assert for them 'whets. And, wonderful to tell,there is not a word said *boot a National Bank! We do marvel that the Chair man left it out. It is the principle of their party the only principle, save and except the hope of plunder, which holds them together. Their song book says: j "Down! down! with your Sub-Treasury; Establish a National Bank; Yea! yes! yes! yet! Clay goes for a National Bank." Anti yet they dare not introduce a resolution in its favorto this County Convention. It would have shown too plainly the cloven foot, and they would have lost many honest opponents of a Bank whom they are now telaleading. So dear is this Bank measure to Henry Clay, that, failing in obtaining its passage in any shape, he retired in disgust from the national councils. What cared he for the Tariff, He knew the moment when, by the terms of his own enaspromise act, that question mast be settled, yet, notwithstanding his alleged horn ing =alto: protection, he left the Tariff to the tender mercies of Mr Speaker Waring and JOAN QUINCY ADAMS, who did their bast to KILL THE BILL." Who does not know that it was because Joins Ty ite vatoed•tho Bank Bills that he was ab tndoned and is now defitined by the whip? Ile signed the present Tariff Bill, but they abate not one tittle of their abuse ofhins on this account. W. W. law IN, the late rep resentative from this district, voted for and sustained with all his might, the present Tariff Law, and yet this has not saved him from federal denunciation, fed eral *hose and federal indignation. And why was all this? Because W. W. Irwin would not go for an aid fashioned United States Bank. And yet these time-serving, hypocritical whip, dare not put the true isms, sass or so ass*, before the people. As for the gratuitous setting ftrth of the principles and objects of our party, in these resolves, we do not deemtlaern worthy of time nor attention. The writer has just selected a few topics which he thinks unpopu tat in this section, and has alleged that our party ens- Ulm them. This ordeals is too weak and silly to merit Sedge or exposure.. • riPP l The Gazette retails a story from the New York :Failinow, to prove that Mr. Pour is nearly as bad a it declared Mr CLAY to be. The Gazette editor proved, 414 bethought very conclusively, that Mr Clay was a -instlist, a gambler, and an immoral and profane spwa. We have said nothing about Mr Clay's personal • habits or personal faults. There is enough in his po. Ikiaaliife to make him odious us as. To .he Gazette welnive left the unwortLy task of assailin; his person al character.

"Henry Clay is merely n splendid orator, without ANYan valuable knowledge from exporience or study, or DETERMINED PUBLIC PRINCIPLES. founied in political science, either practical or theo retical." Er The Anti Slavery Cenvention which met in Mas ten must have been a collection of foul mouthed fanat ics, if the speeches of some of them are reported cor rectly. The T;mes says, that Thomas S. Foster took the floor, and denounced the great body of the "Chris- tian church" and ministry in Boston, and country at large, as the "vilest rascals and villains, the most de graded, unmitigated and sneaking hypocrites that pol luted the face of the earth," and as the apologists of slavery by their silence and the sanction of their fel lowship. He alga said the Liberty party was meaner, more paltry and contemptible than even the Democrat. ic and Whig parties, and then went on to prove the statement amidst much confusion and tumult. Abby Kellyendorsed what he said, and indeed the great ma jority of the convention. UNCLL SAX'S ESTATE. --Mr Pratt, of New York, has offered a resolution in the House, which passed, requiring all the agents and public officers of the gen eral government to take en inventory of all the property belonging to the United States, nn the first of July in ench and every year, and make a return thereof to the heads of the departments at Washington; and requi ring them to make a report thereof to Congress on or before the first of January next following. The Globe says if this rosolutioit shall be strictly co.nplied with, it will be the means of saving to the government millions' worth of property in a few years; and when any is lost, it will enable Congress to ascertain how, and by whom it was lost.

C.) under date of May 23, 1844, to the editor of the Fayette Observer, lays "In baste I - write to inform you ofa most atrocious murder committed in ‘Vilkes county, on the body of 31jor Peyton.

They all started together at the sound of the bugle, Stannard taking the lead, an advantage which he main tained throughout the race. Gildersleeve run second, and was the only man within hail of Stannard after the first two miles. John Smith ran third, the Indian frorth, so long as he did run, and Obersteuffer fifth, until the Indian gave out, when he took his position. Stannard was the only man who run the entire dis tance. Gildersleeve accomplished about 9/ miles, when he fainted and was carried off the ground He was about 60 yards behind Stannard when he broke down. At first it was thought his life was in danger, but the rapid chafing of his limbs and an application of cold water to his heed soon brought him to. Smith gave out after running 9 miles.

THE REMOVAL OF THE CHOCTAWS.. I was pleased to see your notice relative to the contract fur removing the Choctaws. You express an opinion that the rumors relative to the manner of dis posing of this contract are not true. There are many persons who have asserted that the Secretary of War (nominally.) but really the President, has the dispo sal of this contract without restriction; and that for the removal of the Choctaws, and for subsisting them fur oue year, the Sec'y. of war, by order of, or with the consent of the President, may employ any men, and as many as he pleases, and pay thousands or millions for the job, at his discretion. Now, if this be the case, it is altogether wrong. It is unjusttoward individuals, as it precluded all chances for competition—it is unjust to the public interest, as by competition among bidders rates are closely estimated, and immense sums are saved to the government, in the reduced prices at which contracts are allotted. lam pleased therefore to bear it suggested that the usual course in such cases will be pttrsued--that notice will be given fur propo sal., and that the contract will be given to the lowest and best bidders. A notice publicly given will induce many responsible men to offer to do this Novice at low and reasonable prices. Tbete has been much specu lation about this Choctaw contract fur several weeks; and ecently there has been a suspicion thatevery thing would not be open and fair in relation to it. lam glad that you think the suspicion unfounded.

Four Young Ladies instantly Killed.—A friend has favored us with the Lebanon (Ohio) Star, of Fri day last, by which we learn that during the storm on Thursdny preceding, the house of Mr Henry Harney. situated on the Hamilton road, a half a mile west of Lebanon, was struck by lightning, and four of Mr Harner's d tughters, young Indies, were instantly killed; Mrs Hamner, the mother, badl} injured, and Mr Hamner and a little boy badly stunned. The electric fluid pass ed down the chimney and through the roof, being at- tracted in its course by a suspended sword up stairs, and also by a gun in the second story, killing two of the daughters in the first and two in the lower story of the house. The usual means were used in vain to restore animation. The scene exhibited on this occasion was heart rending in the extreme; and beggars all descrip tion. These young ladies were all members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and illustrated in their daily walks and pious examples, the beauty and excel lence of our Chi istian religion. Cin. Corn, A Caution to Loafers.—A morning or two since, a barrel of whiskey lying on the Levee, wasdiscovered by a poor drinking loafer, who, watching an oppone 'dry. extracted the bung and beg an sucking away ad libitum. He was seen, and ordered to quit; but nn sooner was the person out of sight who had discover ed him, than he went back to his potations. Again he was ordered off, with a threat that if he returned he should be taken to the watch-house. He retired a short distance, but again seeing the "coast clear," re turned. The owner of the whiskey had gone to break fast. and there was no one to interrupt the drinker.— He improved l.is opportunity, and in a short time was found lying beside the barrel, dead! He had drank himself to death! What a melancholy picture is this? Hcw should it speak, trumpet-tongned, to the intemperate drinker?— But, as if this were not enough to shock humanity; as if something were still wanting to show how low man, with "the human face divine, ' may sink himself in the mire of the brute, another deed, perhaps more dark and foul, must needs be done. IVhile the poor drunkard lay with his face to the scorching rays of the run, some humane person had covered it with a hat, and left him to sleep, as he thought—for life was nut ?et extinct. It was soon discovered, however, that the man was actually dead. And a heartless wretch, waiting an opportunity, slyly and meanly stole the hat from the face of the corpse, and attempted to make off' with his booty. He was, however, seen by some flatboatmen, who overhauled him, and, dragging him back, forced him to replace the hat where be found it.—N. 0.

It's not true—and all know that Mac's Clothing wears longest ; They may talk of 'first cost,' of 'half price' or a third, But to cope with M'Closkey, tie plainly absurd ; His stock's so immense and his custom so great, That by forty per cent he can all others beat: - M'Closkey well knows how far jealousy goes, But he challenges all to produce such cheap clother, Men of country and town, learn this wondrous result, His rivals would dare all your judgments insult, They fain would induce you to believe other stores.

From the results of these trials the eoneasittat use unanimously of opinion, that these pipea pesetas some impel -mot advantages ovaused.these beretefero Ist. The Strength is equal to the roil:ileum strength of lead due to the form and weight of the tubel thus at- hibiting a rare coincidence between theotetical and _ practical perfection in this respect. The utriforethy of the thickness and perfect accuracy oftbe bore, which: are attained by this mods of manufacture, insure this' invariably. Experiments on the strength ofleaden pipes =bible many discordant and embarrassing cbaractesits which have occasioned the committee some anxiety. It is well known that the presence of a small portion pith, or other metal, which is usnallyelloyed with lead always effects its hardness and strength; so that tilpertinade precisely in the same manner, of lead procured from different and even from the same mines, vary , exceed ingly in strength.

It is moreover W pole e, that such pressure, wh il e' consolidating the Metal, contributes to its strength. 3d. Alosenee of Sealer of Lead eivi Paint of the Interior.—The pipes are perfectly Near within, and from the mode of making them, must neeesearily have this desirable property. The perfceapolish alearectil tame the motion of fluids. 4.
