The Boston Atlas of March 4, 1341, has the fol lowing prophecy in relation to Henry "One year from this day, the Hon. Henry Clay of 'Kentucky will enter upon his official duties as Presi dent of the United States. Mr. C. will receive the votes of the following states, certainly: Massachu setts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Vermont, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, North Carolina. Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana, Ohio, Ken- Tennessee, Indiana, and Michigan. These states cast 170 electoral votes. Besides these states, 'however, there is full an equal chance that Mr. Clay will receive the votes of Maine, New York, Virginia, 'lllinois, and Missouri. ihese will increase our Whig vote co 243. There will then only-remain four -- states, casting 2!) votes: New liainp!thire, labama, Arkansas, and South Carolina. "If it is the pleasure of an all-wise Providence to spare his life, HENRY CLAY will be the President • of the United States; in just one year from this day." One would suppose that in Puritan New England, , a man could hardly have been found so good at the -game of brag. It shows the political sagacity of the Whig party generalh; and likewise the kind of hallo -eination that has cliarmed, like the delusive song - of the enchantress, thousands into the belief that it was impossible for any other man to be President than Henry Clay. The Whig paper at Massillon, imme odistely after his nomination, after predicting that he would receive the vote of more than twenty states, runs on thus: "Mr. Clay left Washington on the 13th '(May) for his residence in Ashland, where be will remain until his country calls him, on the 4th of March nest ' to the White House at Washington!" These -sentences read well, truly; but the people have decided that they would rather he would stay where he told Mr. Polk to go--"At home, where be belongs." - - *rho New York Herald says: "He has been destroyed by TV7sigjournafisin—by zinteAjournaiism as you find in the New York Tri bune, tie New York Courier. and Enquirer, the Boston Atlas. the Richmond Whig, tie Louisville Journal, -and the Albany Evening Journal." • • • • • "With the returns of this contest befute them—faith all the evidences of their folly before them—how are "these journalists now engaged? Instead of extracting wisdom from the fully of the past. they are beginning already to perpetuate fresh absurdities, and to commit new follies. In the midst of a prosperity that will set the schemes of all trading politicians at defiance, and lay all panic-makers on their backs, they are stri ving to get ap a panic in business, and to proscribe the poorer classes of society hera.ise they exercised their ;eight of suffrage as they chose. Some are for repeal ing the natnralization laws, because a pttion of the naturalized citizens voted agairist them; others are for Ail species of proscription against those who opposed - them. We see, indeed, on all hands, amongst these Whig journalists, the same folly, the same absurdity, -the same falsehood, the same licentiousness which led to their late defeat, and which must inevitably lead to similar disastrous results hereafter.

THOS. PHILLIPS A w!1• H. SMITH. - - PITTSBURGH, MONDAY, NOV ENIB CAN THEY SELL TOEXT- -- IE i said that the wing leaders, fiuding that the mass of their Tony will not go in heartily fur the Native Nomination for Mayor, in tend to make a mock nomination for the office—take up somebody or other and keep him in the field till the election, and then choke him off, if Nativism pro mises to bo formidable. This is excellent—but can they traffic in-the whig followers as if they were so many cattle—and can they find a man of straw who will consent to lb: used by the friends of Mr Jaynes? DEVICES OE THE Es etar.--Profiting by the lime of the Gazette, the Nativesere making largepteparations to entrap the Democrats. They have taken up a can didate fur Mayor, and reany other offices, and every nominee is a rabid C r-w hig. This is a grand stroke of policy, and must have magnificent. results. The men that made the ticket take it for granted that the Democrats who have just been fighting hand to hand with these very Native nominees, under tho name of whig - s, the most desperate contest ever fought in this county since lEoo,—will rush in a belly to_ vote fur them under their new organization. Ask any of these Native nominees if they are less whigs than ever they were, they will tell you No. They a e,heretofore,Bank men, and Distribution men, and in short, as bitter in their whig predilections as ever, yet their cunning nomi nators think the Democrats will vote fur them because 1 they have added the odious ides of Nativism, to their peculiarly loathsome creed !, .Ttsszasai.--The result in ibis State is still untie_ cided, but we think there is no reason to doubt but the official vote wilt show that it has gems for Clay. The Union of the 16th says: "The returns from this State are still incomplete; and •the vote so far is so close that it will be impossibl for ns to tell who has a majority until we can get the official returns. We do not believe the majcrity will be more than forty for either party." - The Gazette (a neutral paper) of the same date says: Tennessee may be set down for Clay by a small majority. The exact returns v. ill plobably be known by Christmas . We williingly concede Tennessee tothe w higs; it is glory enough fur the democrats to have reduced the overwhelming majority that State gave the federal candidate in 1840, to a mere handful. Tennessee has done nobly, and at the next state election we have no doubt but the Democtrats will elect their candidates by t a large rnajotity. Ur Some days since, the Gazette said that Mr Polk practised card.playing, dueling, swenrpag and horse racirg in common with Henry Clay. We pronounced this statement false so far as Mr. Polk was concerned. and called on the Gazette to produce its proof that Mr. Polk is addicted to any of the vices of which it admits Clay to be guilty. But that journal is profoundly silent on the subject, it has sent forth the slander upon Mr. Polk, and the pious Deacon cannot be induced to do anything that would counteract its effects upon the public mind. We again call upon him fur the proof that Mr Polk practices cardplaying, swearing, duelling, &c., in common with Henry Clay; or, if he has no ground for the charge, we demand a retraction of the foul san der. The Deacon must not expect that we will let this falsehood slip; before he is done with it we will teach him not to class leading Democratic Statesmen, wjth the 'bullets and baggers,' and the High Low Jacks of whiggery. Commendable Perteveranee.—Pn the 30th Octo ber last, a young man named Stephen Morey, hired at the iivety stable of Mr 4 S Miller, a horse and cut ter to go to Lodi. At Boston, finding the sleighing hard, he swapped the cutter for a buggy. and thence went to Ellicotville, where be swapped away the horse. Not returning at the time agreed upon, inqui ries were made by which the above facts were ascer tained. Officers were put upon the track, and consta ble L f 1 Williams soon found the trail, which ho perse veringly followed until he overhauled the rogue at Pitts burgh,and safely lodged him in jail in this city yesterday We mention these facts because they exhibit commen dable perseverance. The expense of bringing the thief to justice has been greater than the value of the propetty stolen, but Mr Miller very justly though it his duty to show the hoists thieving gentry that their trade could not be successfully carried un in this quarter, and i fall others whose property is stolen would show e qual perseverance, such thefts would be of rare occur rence. The belief that people will put up with their loss rather than incur the expense of recovering their rroperty and punishing their offender, doubtless en courages roguesin their vocation.—Bob r ato Com. We saw this gentleman in Pittsburgh the day after the first returnairn New York had reached town.— W e heard him Oita Sunday morning informing a re-' spectable whig citizen, that the report of the whir having lost 1300 votes in Erie county, was a "d—d no-such a thing," be had just came from there—he had been born there, and the loss was only 150, and Clay had carried the State by 5000. This statement was corroborated by a very short and very thick compan ion, who sported a very red nose. Our whig friend ex claimed, 'is it possible.'pnd went on his way in a much better humor apparently than lie had been for the prtl vious twenty-four hours. The next thing we heard of the gentleman from Erie cottnty, was that he had sold his horse to the keeper of i.livery stable in this city, and had hired a hack to carry him to Bridgewater, where he found • • • • some friends who gave him every pressing invitation to return to the "place where he was born," and where, in all probability, he will die and be buried at the ex : nse of the State, if he does not mend his ways. UNITED STATES SENATOR. As the Hon DANIEL STURGEON'S term of service in the Senate expires on the 4th of March next, the question of the succession is more or less discussed in many of the Democratic journals. A correspon dent in to day's Union warmly urges the re-election of Dr. STURGEON, and enforces his ‘iew> by some ve ry cogent reasons. The Venangn Democrat, on the other hand, urges .TAMES R Sanwo Ka . , Esq., of that county, the late able and efficient Speaker Of the House of Repre sentatives. jj.sott M'CANDLEss,Esq., of Pittsburgh, is warm ly suNtorted in other quarters. The Huntingdon Globe contain,' an article, enfor cing the claims of Hon Gcottox W W. 03DWARD of Lucerne county. In the Clarion Democrat we observe a communi cation in behalf of Hon Jontt Bitente, President Judge of thozourts of Butler county. As Mr Bucnassx is from the East, it is conceded that the other Senator should be taken either from the West or North.—Laisc. The Lady of Mr Polk, the President elect, is said to be the handsomest, most amiable and most exem plary of her sex in the United Stet's. Out readers may recollect in General Jackson's administration, a Miss Leiria, of Tennessee, who, with Mrs. Donaldson, did the -honors of the General's establishment. Miss E. subsequently became Mrs.-Polk, the marriage hav ing been solemnized in the "Presidential Mansion."

We publish bolow an article extracted from an old paper which traces the relationship and lineal descent of modern Whigery to ancient Federalism, which ma ny of our forefathers held to he but another name for torOsm. The argument of this extract is sound and unanswerable. F•"r political opinions are the heir looms of families and of particular districts; in these parts of the country where tor) ism abounded during the revolutionary war, Federalism predominated in 1799, and Federal Whigery in 1844. [Keystone. DEMOCRACY AND FEDERALISM. It is quite laughable to hear some of the disciples of Modern Whiggery talk about Democracy—their Democracy—their attachment to the principles of Jef fer4on, and their claim to the title of Democratic Whigs. They are, however, the genuine offspring of old Federalism, as their deeds and leading measures as most conclusively show: and in this Stave wherever Federalism flourished most in '99 in such Clean place. we now find Modern Whiegery in its greatest greatest strength ; and wherever Democracy was in the ascen dency at that memorable period, we still find it ineven more ;Altar its at cient strength,--lif will appear by the following returns ref the election for Governor in 1799, taken from the Harrisburgh Murgenrothe, dated 12th day of November in that year: + ELECTION Or 1799.

Departure of Emigrants for Liberia.—The brig Chipola, Captain McLennan, chartered by the Maryland Colonization Society, left her moorings at Fell's Point, on Monday afternoon, says the Balti more Sun, with a large party of emigrants for the Society's Colony on the Coast of Africa. They con sisted of men, wernen and children, and appeared to be perfectly happy and contented with the new scene of life. preseuted before them. Thirty-seven of the emigrants were freed by Mr. Wilson, of Ky., who was pcesent and bid each of them an affectionate adieu. - There were also twenty-seven on board who were freed by the last will and testament of Miss Harriet 13. Tompkins, of Va., who were accompa nied to the wharf by the brother of their departed mistress. The Rev. Henry B. Goodwin, of Va., who liberated a large portion of the emigrants who sailed in the Latrobe last year, had also added two more to the number, one of whom was a hard) look iag old Tall, about 75 years of ago, who as the ves sel the wharf hallowed to his master to try and ' persuade the old woman (his wife) to come out neat year. There were also several on board who had vol untarily offered themselves to the society as emigrants. The Major General of Liberia, who had resided in the colony about fifteen years, a hearty, hale speci , men of the health of that country, was also on board on his return to his adapted land, from avisit to the friends of his youth. The wharf was crowded with spectators, and as the vessel left three cheers were :iven, which were loudly answered by those on board. From Nasiitis, P. P.—The schooner Herald at New York, in 11 days front Nassau,brings intelligenof that two shocks of an earthquake were felt on the 20th ult. at St Thomas, one of which occasioned very seri• ous alarm both to the inhabitants of the town and those on board the ship. The gale of the6th ult. was severe at St. Domingo ; much damage was done to vessels in the harbor, and three square rigged vessels were lost on the coast nenr Gonaives. Two were undertha Spanish flag and the other ',British brig. Names un known, Tar The Concord FteenuM'relates the follow ing circumstance relative to young midshipman Cilley being ordered to the Constitution:— "On arriving at Norfolk, he learned that Mr. Wise Was to go out in the Constitution; and immediately, without consulting with any one, he started for Wash ington, called on the Secretary of the Navy, and de dared that he would not serve on hoard_ the ship in which Mr. Wise was a passenger, and avowing his readiness to resign his warrant, ratlw.r than do so.— ' Th e Secretary appreciated the feelings of the youth. and, after paying the expenses el his journey, appoint ed him to another vessel. This conduct shows that young Cilley is of a determined character, and that his words du but express the sentiments of his heart." PORE & DoLLAR3• Letting it come out.—Whitnell P. Tunstall, a lead ing Whig in North Carolina. at a barbecue recently riven near Milton, in that State said; "Now, gentlemen, I am about to make a bold as sertion. It is in me, and must come out.. I wish the Constitution of the United States was altered, and the word President, wherever it oceare in Alla instru ment, stricken out, and the word KING inserted in its plug" The Milton Chronicle, a Whig paper, speaking of this speech, thus glorifies its suitor: "Whigs of the old North State !

Riot and Murder.—A most disgraceful riot oc curred in Jonesboro:nigh, Tennessee, as we learn from the Tennesseo Sentinel Extra, on ;he evening of the sth inst., in which a young man by the name of Tay lor was killed. This riot was instigated by Brown low, the editor of the Jones - borough Whig. It ap pears that this 13rownlow became exasperated at the shouts which the democrats gave, who had assembled to bear the news of the elections over the democratic triumphs, and that he exhotted the whigs (who had assembled) to arm themselves with .pistols, stones and dirks, and march through the democratic ranks. They took up their line of march accordingly, marched some distance, when they halted. From that point they returned, armed with stones, &c , bullied, black guarded and dared the democrats to come down from the porch, to engage with them in a recomre. The leaders of the democratic party used their ef forts to suppress the riot, told them to leave, and have no difficulty, but they would not. A quarrel en sued, during which a stone was thrown by some whig at one of the democrats, whom it missed, and suit& young Tay/or on the head, and killed him. • $50,000 Polk.

She made 22 or 23 successful voyages, and during that period bas been captured three times, each time condemned and sold, and each time bought by the slavers. She I was built at Baltimore rind sent from that port to the colony of Liberia with emigrants, and sailed from Havana with a cargo of slaves. Her sailing Tali- I ties were so remarkably good, that nothing on the coast in the shape of a sailing vessel could overtake her; and she was so highly prized by her owners, that she was newly coppered and rigged at every voyage she made. On her return from a very successful voyage. she was rebuilt, and most of her upper works made of mahogany. Her Captain has caused more excitement on the coast than the Captain of any other vessel fur several years past. The new Governor had arrived at Monrovia the day the P sailed Dr Wolfley, late surgeon of the U S ship Decature. fell from a cliff of rocks, about the Ist of September. and injured himself so as to cause his death in four hours. The Porpoise brings home five American distressed seamen, from the Cape de Verde, left there by American whalers.

Left at Port Prague, 23d ult., U S ship Macedonia, flag ship of the squadron, and the U S ship Preble—the latter just arrived from the U S via Madeira. Superstition of the Chinese.—The disturbances which occurred not long since at Canton, owed their origin to the singularly superstitious credulity of the Chinese populace; the circumstance is rel.'ted by the Hong Kong Register as follows: "It appears that much sickness has of late prevailed in the Island of Human, ao the south of Canton. During the period, the wind had kept steadily to the south, so that the ar row, placed as a vane °tithe top of the recently erected flag staff, continued printing in that direction. The superstitious people considered that the arrow was exercising some deleterious influence upon the health of the community, and threats were conveyed to Mr. Forbei,the consul,thut itwould not be allowed to remain. Unwilling to contend against such a feeling, orders • were given to remove the arrow, and, while the top mast on which it was fixed was being lowered, the mob rushed in. and, seizizing the ropes, let it down 'with a run,' and at the same time commenced breaking the tailings of the garden and flower pots. The Ameri cans in a body repelled them, but they are still dis posed to create disturbance, on the ground that, though the arrow has been removed, the iron rod on which It was mounted, and the letters indicating the cardinal points, still remain."

Medicated Irsepor Math. COTT. Or a LICTTS.II. yaws Das. LAwitzscs New Lebanon, State of New York. WoßillY F R lEND:—Having made a thorough trial of the Medicated Vavor Bath for four months past, in our societies in New Lebanon and Watervliet, we think it but justice to state, that we consider it a valuable Improvement in the healing art. Its power in reduc ing both chronic and acute intimation, also in remov ing spasms, is certainly very great.. In cases of ob structed perspiration, it is unquestionably the safest sod best remedy that we have ever seen. Several persons in our society, who were scarcely free from a catarrhal affection during most of the winter numthe for several years past., have found permanent relief by using the Bath a few times; and the predisposition to take cold, as it is commonly tvemed, s e ms to be who removed. Obstructed perspiration, is certainly in ear changeable climate, one of the most fruitful sour ces of disease, and any remedy that is capable era moving the predisposition to it, must be considered a great blessing to twinkled; and aq ..uch we do not bed. tete to recommend the Medicated Vapor Bath.
