Wilis' Promises and JLoco Foco Mis representations. Our neighbour of the Democrat, in one of his romancing spells last week, to which he is period ically subject, indulges in the following flight of fancy. "FEDERAL PROMISES. A little more than two years have now elapsed since the people of this country were promised a host oi fine things, if they would only vote for tho Whigs, and there by place in their hands the reigns of government. We now in all seriousness, ask of any good Whig, answers to the following interrogatories: Where's retrenchment in the expenses of gov ernment! Where's reform? Where's reduction in the public expenses Where's "two dollars a day and roast beef," for the working man? Where's high prices for the farmer Where's good times " We give the article entire, in order to expose the unfairness of loco foco electioneering, and that wo may the more methodically answer the inter rogatories. It is scarcely necessary for ub to allude to the condition of the country during the administration of Martin Van Buren. Every man who was then capable of exercising his reasoning faculties will never forget the threatening aspect of those days when the purse and the sword of the nation were grasped by one man. When a Standing Army of 200,000 men was proposed to be saddled upon us in time of peace, and rest like a huge night-shade over our liberties. And when the Sub-treasury (a measure which Van Buren himself could say nothing in favor of except that it had been adopted by about thiity monarchies of the old world) was exercising its baleful influence over our Republi can Institutions. It was then that the Whigs stept forward and declared that if the people would adopt their principles and carry out their measures, the country would be restored to its former condi tion, and that gladness and prosperity would take the place of gloom and despondency. General Harrison was the leader of our party, the representative of our principles, and the cham pion of our promised measures of reform. The people, by acclamation almost, elected him their Chief Magistrate, and he ascended the Presiden tial chair pledged to effect those change3 which had formed our rallying cry in the fierce political struggle of 1840. Death arrested his career of usefulness, however, before time was allowed him to commence the work of reform; and the control of the government devolved upon a man whom no one had expected would ever be called upon to administer its functions. That man, thus acci dentally elevated to the first place in the nation, was'equally pledged with Gen. Harrison to car ry out the principles of tho Whig party. How he has fulfilled his pledges and kept his word, the present prostrate condition of the country can best answer. Instead of co-operating with his friends who elected him Vice President, he basely deserted them, and with the aid of the loco foco members of Congress, has successfully resisted the enactment of all laws having for their ends the restoration of tho country's prosperity. With but jive excep tions the Whig Members of Congress have re mained as true as steel, and have passed all the measures of public policy which they promised previous to the Presidential election. And had not John Tyler turned traitor to his professions, or had he not been seconded in his defection by the loco focos in Congress, the country would now have a code of laws, under whose wise and pro tecting influence the nation would speedily regain its lost ground, and happiness be diffused among all classes of its citizens. Had John Tyler not vetoed the Bank Bill, or had the loco focos assist ed in passing it by a vote of two-thirds, the coun try would not now be flooded with an irredeema ble paper currency, but instead of itewould have a circulating medium unsurpassed by any in the world. Had John Tyler not vetoed the Tariff Bills, or had the loco focos assisted in passing them by a vote of two-thirds, our ports would not now be open to foreigners to import their goods free of duties, but our workshops and factories would be resounding with the hum of busy life, and American Industry would bo protected against the st rf and pauper labor of overgrown Europe In view of these things, we ask every candid man whose fault is it that our anticipated reforms are not realized! Is it the fault of the Whigs or of the loco focos! The Whigs, of themselves, al though they have a majority in Congress, can do nothing, so long as the veto power is arbitrarily exercised by any one man. The loco focos, how ever, could secure the passage of laws, in spite o the veto, which would make the hearts of thous ands leap for joy, and bless them as their benefac tors and preservers. But as they refuse to do this, are they not. equally culpable with John Ty ler, for the misery and distress which hangs like an incubut over the country! To be sure they are, and every unprejudiced mind will hold them respon&iblet John Tyler and the loco foco members of Con gress, in their infatuation to destroy the political prospects of tho Whigs, have defeated every law which was calculated to have a salutary influence upon the trade and business of the country. They have refused their assent in establishing a sound and uniform currency, and they have opppsed and defeated every effort to foster our infant manufac tories, and to give protection to our own citizens in preference to foreigners. These are sufficient answers to the interrogatories of "reform" and "good times," &c. The Whigs have done every thing in- their power to bring them about; but the coalition of John Tyler and loco focoism has pre vented them. As to the queries of "retrenchment" and "reduc tion in public expenditures," we triumphantly an swer, that the Whigs have fulfilled their promises. Here they could not be driven from their ground by either John Tyler or the loco focos and they have made retrenchments in the expenses of the Navy and Army alone, which will save the coun try five millions annually. They have also lopped off many of the luxuriant branches of the differ ent departments, and reduced the salaries of other officers and clerks. In conclusion we repeat, the Whigs have ever been and arc still ready to carry out all the promised measures of reform, if John Tyler and the loco focos will but permit them. Another Veto. John Tyler, the Accidental President of the Uni ted States, has again arrested the action of Con gress by refusing to sign the new Tariff Bill. The Bill, with his reasons for not signing it, was re turned to the House of Representatives on Wed nesday last, and referred to a committee of thir teen, of which the Hon. J. Q. Adams is Chairman, for their consideration and report. Congress was busily engaged on this Bill for months, and had brought it to a high state of perfection. Its pas sage would have spread gladness throughout the land, and operated like a charm in reviving busi ness and restoring confidence. But the .ruthless hand of envy has denied our people the blessings of its provisions. The division of the public lands among the States, a provision for which is con tained in tho Bill, is made the pretext for the veto; but it is obvious from the whole tenor of Mr. Ty cr's reasoning that he would not have signed the Bill, even if that had been omitted. It is uncer tain what course Congress will now see proper to pursue. It is generally supposed that nothing can be done consistent with the wants of the country which will be approved of by the acting President. The House have passed a Resolution to adjourn on the 22d inst. and the Senate were to act upon it on Monday last. Onr Affairs with England. The negotiations between Lord Ashburton, late representative of Great Britain, and Daniel Web ster, the American Secretary of State, have been concluded, and are said to embrace all points of variance between the two countries, which have arisen East of the Rocky Mountains. A special agent was despatched by the Great Western, which eft New-York last week, to carry the articles of the Treaty to tho Queen of England, for her sanc tion. The President also transmitted a copy to the Senate, on Thursday last, who immediately entered upon the consideration thereof with closed doors. The provisions of the lreaty are said to be highly honorable to both countries: but the de tails have not yet been made public. Western Elections. North Carolina. In this State, the Whigs have a large majority of the popular vote, and have re elected Governor Morehead by several thousand votes. In the choice ot Memoers oi tne legisla ture, we have not been so fortunate. The Loco Focos will have about fifteen or twenty majority on joint-ballot, which secures them the United states senator: in tne piace oi ivir. uranam, vy nig, whose time will expire on the 4th of March. Kentucky. This good old State, the battle ground of two wars, and the home of the patriot and statesman, Henry Clay, remains as firm as adamant to the Whig cause. At the late election loco-focoism scarcely retained a foot-hold on her soil, and the only matters of excitement at the polls, was that occasioned by the friends and opponents- of Relief Laws, upon which grounds most of the members of the Legislature were elected. Illinois. As usual has gone for the Loco Focos. They have elected the Governor and a majority of the Legislature. Alabama and Missouri, also still cling fast to their ancient principles, and have permitted loco- focoism to triumph again within their borders. These three latter States all cast their votes for Mr. Van Buren in 1840; so they could scarcely be expected to go differently now. Indiana. lhe returns lrom this blate come in slowly. Although the election was held on the 1st of August, the precise result has not yet been ascertained. The Whigs will how ever, it is certain, have from six to eight ma jority in the Senate, while the Locos will prob ably have a small majority in the House. By the latest advices from Washingion, if ihe news can be relied upon, our friends have carried the Legislature. If this is so, we will have a ma jority in the next U. S. Senate, against all per adventure. Pcaclics. Peaches are plenty in Philadelphia, the crop in that neighborhood being uncommonly large and fine this year. Upwards of one thousand baskets full were sent to New-York from thero last week The Hon. Arnold Plumer, the representaiive in Congress from the 25ih Congressional dis trict of Pennsylvania, declines becoming a can didate for re-elecuon. Rhode Island. On the 30th of this month the election for Delegates to frame a Constitution for the State of Rhode Island, will take place. All native male citizens of the U. States, except conricts, &c, who are 21 years of age and upwards, and j who have resided in the State one year, will be entitled to vole. This will be a better way of arriving at the desired end, than that proposed and advocated by Mr. T. W. Dorr, and his Lo co Foco associates. The JJallot-JJox is always a belter way to settle political grievances in a free country than the Cartridgc-Box. Congress. The Committee appointed by the House to consider Captain Tyler's last Veto, no doubt reported their conclusions on Monday. The Whig Members of the Senate and Houso held a caucus in the Senate Chamber, on Saturday evening last, to deliberate upon the present condition of the country, and for a free inter change of sentiment. The resultudf the delib eration showed that a large majority of the Whiff Members of Congress are in favor of making another effort to pass a Tariff Bill, be fore adjourning. It is uncertain, however, what Bill will be agreed upon, and more uncer tain still whether John Tyler will sign it, when passed, or not. The Whigs, nothing daunted by his opposition, however, will labor to do some thing for the country till every gleam of hope for accomplishing it is completely dispelled. The ITIonthlies. We have received the August number of the Lady's Book, which is as usual filled with ex cellent reading matter and beautiful engravings. Mr. Godey, the enterprising publisher, deserves great praise for the punctuality with which he furnishes the Book to its numerous readers, as well as for the neatness which distinguishes every number The August number of the New York Ladies' Companion, has also been received. The en gravings are truly splendid, and the poetry and prose which fill its columns are the productions of some of our most gifted writers. We com mend both these works to the careful attention of our readers, and ask for them their patronage. The Eastern Argus mentions the death of another of the patriots of the Revolution, Gen. John K. Smith, who expired at his residence in Portland, on Sunday last, having attained nearly his eighty-ninth year. He was an offi cer of high standing in the army, and was con spicuous for his bravery and prudence. Canal tolls in New York this year, up to the 1 st of August, $750,947. Last year to the same time, $912,214. Dreadfnl Surgical Operation. One of the most appalling and arduous sur gical operations perhaps ever attempted, was performed at tho King's College Hospital, New Brunswick, last week, on a young girl of twelve, who had a tumor in a cavity of the upper jaw bone, which actually pushed the eye ball out of its socket, and produced the most hideous de formity. In order to gel at the tumor, incisions had to be made in the integuments of the face, and the cheek bones sawn through and remov ed from their various detachments. For about sixteen minutes, the time which the operation took, tho whole of the right side of the face was laid bare, exposing the back part of the throat, tongue and palate. Some of the spectators turned pale at the sight of tho operation, but the poor girl bore it with wonderful fortitude, and the operator acted with a skill as though his nerves were of iron. After the operation, the whole of the complicated integuments were replaced with sutures, and there aro hopes of me recovery of the girl, if the nervous system survives the shock. Horrible Murder. The Mountaineer, published at Edensburg, in this Slate, records the details of a horrible mur der committed upon an old lady, a widow, named Jlrs. Elizabeth Holden, by two laborers named rlannagan, strangers in that place, who wero under the impression that she had money. They robbed the house and escaped. One hundred dollars are offered for their apprehension, by the Sheriff. I he citizens endeavored to lake them, and fired a rifle at one, but missed him; they made their escape in the darkness of the night into tho neighboring woods. Saining Poles and Nailing an ni mbus. The Droit, a French paper, tells the follow ing marvellous story. It will be seen that it lb fully equal lo a shower of "blue fish, squids, and drab hats."

Mr John Quincv Adams obtained the floor, nnrt rlHntPfl at nreat Ifinpth in onnosition to the Veto, and the accidental President. Mr. Adams closed his remarks with a mo- tion to refer the message of the President to a select committee of thirteen members. M. Foster of Georeia. raised a point of or- der to the effect that the motion of Mr. Adams O . was not in order. This was debated for nearly two hours by Messrs. Wise, Cushing, Proflit, Foster, Fillmore and Underwoocf, ana men tne appeal was laid upon the table by a vote of 106 lo 86. ' Mr. Wise took an appeal and another point of order was debated. This took all interest from the main discussion, and succeeded in materially reducing the attendance. This point of order was rejected by the House by acclamation. Mr. Morsan then moved the Previous yues- lion upon the question of reference. The yeas and nays were ordered, and tho Message was referred to the Select (Jommmee ol Id mem- bers by a vote of 108 to 84. The Revenue Bill was then left to bo dis- posed of. Mr. Cooper, of Penn., moved to lay the bill upon the table. Mr. Johnson contended that it was not m order, and mado an argument to that effect. The House decided against the point of order, The bill was laid upon the table by a vote of 97 to 73. Here ended all action upon the Veto Mes sage and bill, and nothing more can be done un- until Mr. Adams makes his report as Chairman of the Committee of 13. Several Executive communications were then referred, and several Senate Bills, which, with some miscellaneous business, closed a very busv day. and the House adjourned.
