istructive anti-social and anti-religious
than the) then were? Are the
hilts nit.reaready now than then to ems
..race ihem 1 None will answer the
question in the affirmative. No, though
there be many good, wise., and excellent
men isathe ranks of our opponents, the
tendency of their party principles are
still disorganiiing and destructive, and
the Whigs as much as ever reject and
dread them. And yet look at the pres
ent aspect of things; of seven states in the
Union, in which elections have recently
taken place, and where last fall the Whig
majority was told by thousands, five ex.
hibited Loco Fuco triumph. Wby is this
it the Whig strength be not diminished ?
In my opinion this result is to be attribu
ted to the same causes which led to the
disruption of the late Cabinet. And what
are they ? The Whigs haves raised up a
man to the Executive chair, who though
elected as a Whig, professing to be a
If big, and believed to be a W hig, never•
theless either does not justly understand
or truly value and consistently pursue,
the great constitutional principles of that
party.
It is'neither my purpose nor wish (con
— Tinkled Mr. IP to speak in terms of sever
ity of Mr Tyler; but the President of the
United States. though the chief magistrate
is but a public servant, as such, his con
duct is a fit subject for examination and
remark. His conduct towards Congress
and his constituional advisers, was the
main Cause of the dissolution of the Cabi
net; and the same cause has led to our re
cent defeats. There is no abandonment
of Whig principles any where, but uncer
tainty and distrust have produced, for
the time innaction among the Whigs.
Attempts have been made, I know, sir, '
to discredit the statement in Mr Ewing's
letter of what passed in the cabinet mee
ting of the 18th August; but I say here,
in the presence of this enlightened and
respectable company, en the responsibili
ty of my own reputation for truth, of
which none are better able to judge than i
those I address, that that statement is
true-in its leading and essential facts
absolutely true—in all its details substan
tially true.
The Cabinet would not have been his-
selved simply because the President veto
ed the Batik bills.—His scruples, if sin -1
cere, however unreasonable, and even alt
surd, would have been entitled to tender•
ness, if not respect; and no member of his
Cabnet would have visited with the hars
ness of censure the errors of a man who
sought atter Utah with a willingness to
find and a desire to embrace it, merely be
cause, through feebleness of understan
ding or early prejudice, he was disabled
to perceive it. It was the want of sincer
ity and ingenuousness—of directness and
l,tllliOr it was the disregard of court,av
Mill respect—it was the manifestation of a
vaciitatiog and unsteady mind —it was
the want, ut that manliness which assumes
and avows its own errors, and scorns by
concealment or evasion to visit them on
others—thot compelled the President's
confidential advisers to abandon their po
sition. Consider the circumstances of
the case for a moment, and judge if this be
nut so. One bill naving been defeated, he
himself proposed another and induced the
members of his Cabinet to urge its pas
sage. The bill was passed and sent to
the President. Did he sign it Sir, af
ter his Cabinet had induced their friends
in Congress to accept it as the olive branch
of peace, he not only did not sign it, but
ire sent it back with scorn, as a measure
that every one must have known lie could
not sanction. How, then, sir, was his cab
inct situated ? The bill that they hail
been induced to recommend was so repu
diated as plainly but indirectly to exhibit
the Cabinet as false to truth, false to Con•
gress, and false to the country. What
would be thought of that muster who hav
ing commissioned his servants to make a
purchase, should after the execution of his
orde, deny the contract, and put him up
on pruot of his authority ? Every man
mast perceive that, a total loss of confi
dence having taken place, there was an
end at once to all hope of rendering ser
vice to the country. Of the. future con
duct of the President we could only
judge by the past ;and from that, what
could we infer but a disregard of all that
was justly due to us as his confidential ad
visers ? His conduct, then, standing as
it did to me, totally without any explana-,
tint' of its apparent deviation from inani- 1
test propriety, and without any sufficient'
pledge tor the future, left, in my judgment)
no alternative but immediate resignation,!
unless I had been a miserable sycophany
willing to retain office, under whatever
circumstances of degretiation, for the
sake of its emoluments and power. And
in this opinion there is not a member of
the Whig party, or any other party prob
ably in North Carolina, who would not
concur.
Over the past (continued Mr. B.) we
have no power, but trom it we may gain
lessons to guide ►he future. What course
does it become the W ti;. party to pursue;
or, rather, what steps :hall be taker, by
the Whig party of North Carolina, under
the present circumstances 1 We see our
nominal chief opposed to a leading Whig
measure, demanded for the relief of a suf
fering country, even when that measure
Ind been trained upon hi-own suggestions
We see him rejoicing over the Whig de.
feats, and the organ of his administration
boasting of every Loco Foco triumph.,
Yes, sir, our leader, who should have led
the way in every conflict, holds inter
course with the enemy, and yet retains
the name of Whig.
It was in this position he was seen
when the recent elections took place, in
which we suffered loss. Sir, how could
we have expected to succeed under such
circumstances? It, an army drawn up in'
!battle array. discoversuits general not sea
Itly to lead them on to the conflict or cheer
(them on to victory, but occupying some
neutral position, in friendly converse
with the enemy, how shall they answer
with courage and confidence the trumpet
( which sounds the onset? Yet their num
hers are not diminished, their strength
is not enfeebled, their courage has not
cooled, and if guarded by a leader of un ,
doubted fidelity, their arms would be
crowned with glorious success. This, in'
my opinion, is a just view of the condi
tion of the Whig party. It is as strong
this day as it was on the 4th of March
last, In the elections which have taken
place recently it is apparent that the
Whigs have in numerical strength lost
nothing. Our voters have not gone over
to the enemy, but uncertain and dispirit
ed by the conduct of their chief, they have
remained at home. Give them again a
chief on whom they can rely, and the ral
lying word shall find them at their posts
as numerous and faithful as ever. Our
course then, seems to be sufficiently plain
he Whig party of the State should or.
garrze and concert their measures. To
this end, it seems to me a convention of
Whig delegates should be convened, from
every quarter of the State. Let us stir
up the people, and invoke the aid of their
patriotism, that the State may be fully rep
resented Let us consult together like
brethren, in behalf ouricoun try, and leave
no ju-t means untried to preserve the u
nion and integrity of the Whig party.
Especially let us select another and a bet•
ter leader—one who knows that the only
consistency suitable to a finite creature,
like man, is a consistent pursuit of truith;
and that to live for thirty years without
changing an opinion, is to live thirty
:years without improvement, and who there
fore, will not make it the business of his
;life to think, or appear to think, today as
he thought yesterday, nor look upon it as
reproach that he has become wiser by ex
p. rience. Let us have a man, who, while
he has intelligence to know his own opin
ions, and firmness to pursue them, will
yet understand that the only value of any
opinion is its agreement with truth, and
will therefore at once abandon any and
every opinion, when satisfied that it is
false and injurious. Let us have a man
whose mind is deeply impressed with the
impoi ranee to his country of the great
princ . ples of the Whig party, and whose
fidelity to them is guarantied, not by pledg
es given upon obtaining a nomination, but
by the faithful devotion of his life to his
c•iuntry's service. Above all, let us have
a man with a sound American head and a
sound American heart—whose patriotism
instead of dwindling into the narrowness
of a political sectary, enlarges itself to
embrace and love and foster every inter
est of our whole country. Let us have
such a leader, inscribe his name upon the
glorious Whig banner, and give it to the
breeze, and rely upon it, gentemen, a no
' ble triumph awaits us.
With such a leader we defeated the
phalanx of Locofocoism, headed by Van
Buren, and wielding without scruple, for
party purposes, the whole Executive pow
er and patronage of the nation. Shall it
admit of doubt that we can defeat the
same party under the guidance of Mr.
Tyler
. .
'But, sir, (said Mr. B. in conclusion,)
however it may be in other States under
such circumstances, the Old North State
will again evidence of her devotion to the
Whig principles for which she was die•
tinguished in 1775 and 1776. Then again
will North Carolina—sir, I speak not of
Carolina, not of .South Carolina, but of
Nonni Carolina--then again will North
' Carolina, the fearless and the faithful, the
honorable, but moderate State, show her
self true to Whig principles, whoever may
desert them
From the New York Express.
II ajor Downing on the Corn.
ing Message
W ASHINGTON, Nov. 30, 1841.
To the Editors of the New York Express
—the same paper my old friend Mr.
ws,it printed a spell ago.
Mr. Editors—We have been all hands
on us, as busy as heavers for the last ten
days getting the Message ready for Cons
gress, and if I don't miss my guess you
will say, when you come to read it, that
it is about as neat a national paper as ev
er left the White House; and if any man
can find a hook about it to pull any part
on't down, you may depend lie is no
sound Amarican—but one who would
rather see the country ruinated than not,
just for the sake of grumbling and com
plaining of Capting Tyler. The Capting
goes on the principle that there may be
something good even in a Sub Treasury,
of in a Bunk—and so he takes the notion
of only chopping oft' and gutting out the
worse parts of both systems, and hammer.
ing the good of both into one lump.
It is a pretty hard matter to please
every body, but this is a wide and long
country, and folks livinr , ' in one corner
met must remember that there are a great
many corners to look to and take care
on.
I suppose you would like to know ex
actly what the Message says, and I mean
to let you know word for word as soon
as Congress lets Capting Tyler know that
they are ready to hear what he has got to
say. W e don't do things here exactly
as they used to do them a few years ago in
th..se matters. W hen anything is told,
it is told to all creation at wire. All I
can say is, whatever it does, say is in
tended to do the most good to the great
est number; and the Secretary Reports
about the Army matters and the Navy
matters.—and the Treasury Report and
the Postmaster General's report are about
as complete things as you have heard tell
on for a good many years. And when
the people in Congress and other folks
outside comes to talk about things—and
you hear any one grumble and growl, you
may be sure it is because he don't think
he has got, or is likely to get in his basket
a leetle more than his share. Some folks
always have that notion, Especially par
ty folks, who think that having made most
noise, they have earned most and ought
to have it—and these are the kind of folks
that Capting Tyler thinks ought to have
if possible, a leetle less than their quiet
neighbors, and sartainly not more.
About the money currency matters of,
the, Message, I suppose a good tnany folks
will disagree and honestly disagree too;
but it is one thing to build a new house
on a new quarter section where things are
as they were left after the world was
made ; and it is another thing to build a
new house in the middle of old ruins and
close neighbors. In one case you can
dig as deep as you please, and spread out
as wide as you please, and pile up your
materials where you please, where all is
your own for acres around, and no one
can prevent it; but in the other case you
have got to see that you don't dig under
your neighbor's foundation, and not pile
your lumber before his door, or annoy
him more than the law allows—and must
fix your chimbly so that you don't smoke
him out.
This makes all the difference in the
world, and folks (reasonable folks) should
keep their eye on this. And lastly, you
will find after reading what is going to
Congress that matters and things in gen
eral are not so tar down hill, as some
croakers have tried to make them, and
that like a foggy and rainy day, folks
should remember that the sun is shining
above that fog, and will shortly show his
face through it, and that tho' we have all
been compelled to use umberellas and
over coats and over shoes, we shall soon
be able to hang them up and walk out
without them.

WIRE BRIDGE AT FAIRMOUNT.--ThiS
novel, yet beautiful structure, is going
ahead rapidly, and will be ready for use
early in the Spring. The bridge itself
will be composed of wood, suspended
from wire cables. Ten cables, consisting
of about SOO wires each, are stretched
from the abutments on each side of the
river. They pass over the tops of mas
sive granite columns 30 feet high. These
columns stand on the tops of the abut
ments, and the cables are secured on the
eastern side in the solid rock and on the
western side by huge rocks of granite a
bove the excavations. The cables, as
they pass the tops of the columns, rest up
on iron axes which ycild a little as the
action of the bridge needs relief.
The distance from the granite columns
to the centre of the span of the inverted
arch formed by the cables, is about 350
feet. The curves, of course, will be ye- '
ry beautiful. The bridge itself runs in all
horizontal line, from abutment to abut'.
ment, cutting the curve at its base. It'
will be 26 feet wide, affording ample space
for the carriage-way, and foot paths on
each side of generous width. The bridge
is simply a platform with railings, made
light and graceful. It will hang from the
cables by wire ropes, securely fastened.
The whole structure will combine beauty,
strength, durability, for freshets can nev
er reach it, and the cables are incapable
of decay. Repairs upon the wood work
can always be made with the utmost ease.
We imagine this beautiful bridge will
he the first and the only one of the kind
in this country. The greatest difficulty
in its erection, we should judge, is se•
curing the ends of the cables. On the
Fairmount side, large and deep excava
tions are made in the solid rock, and
huge tars of iron will attatch them to it,
so that nothing but a convulsion of nature
can disturb them. Every precaution is
taken to prevent the corrosive influence
of both air and water. T he same meth
od of securing the ables and protecting
them front injury, is practised on the op.
posite side, except the excavations are
sleeper. The abutments are of granite
and rise directly from the Schuylkill a
bout 90 feet high. The archetect is Mr.
Ellet, and the expense of the bridge to
the county is $50,000. The old bridge
cost more than double that sum.—North
American.
INGENIOUS ESCAPE,—Two fellows con-1
tined in the jail of one of the western coun
ties of Ohio, recently made their escape,
and in doing so, evinced a skill and per
severance, which if applied to some hon
est pursuit, would render them useful cit
izen3' and redound, no doubt, to their
success in whatever enterprise they might
engage.
'rise inside door of the cell in which
they were confined was composed of iron
bars about two inches in width and thick
nesss and immediately over the back of
the lock these bars were closed together
and heavily riveted. To get at the lock
one of the prisoners cut off with a case
knife, one of these bars—drilled a num •
ber of holes into the lock until they were
enabled to reach the bolt and shove it
back. This accomplished, they seized
an opportunity when the sheriff was ab
iseni on official business in the country,
and, pretending that they were in want of
fire•wood, they called on a child belong
ing to the family to bring them some.
Thinking the inside door was sale, she
left the other ajar while absent for the
wood, but when she returned the gentle
men were missing. To one unitiated in
such matters, the manner in which they
cut their way out is almost incredible.—
risitor.
ELDER KNAPP IN TROUBLE.— The Pro
vidence Journal contains an account of a
scene in which the Rev. Mr. Knapp, a
preacher, of considereile notoriety, and
j the high sheriff of the county, were the
principal actors. Mr. Knapp, it appears,
in the course of one of his sermons took
occasion to make some severe remarks
against the Universalists ; and in reply
to a question which he made, a lady rose
and answered At subsequent meetings
he made remarks del ogatory to the char
acter of ihe lady and her whole family,
the particulars of which are not stated,
but the conseqence was an action of slan
der, the damages being laid at 10,000.
I The writ was put in the hands of the
sheriff, who went to church where Mr.
Knapp was holding forth, and took a seat
with the intention of serving the writ af•
ter the close of the services. The fact,
however, became generally known, great,
confusion ensued, in the course of which
the sheriff was called forward, and ad
dressed the crowd, informing them that
to disturb a religious meeting was a grave
offence, and that he should prosecute an . ;
who were guilty of creating a disturbance.
This restored quiet, and in the meantime
Mr. Knapp left the church and repaired
to his boarding house, where the writ wis
afterwards served, two of his friends be
coming bail.
SPEED.—After the regular London
mails for the Caledoninia had been sent
off to Liverpool, some extra despatches
were forwarded by express. A locomo
tive, with one car, containing two gentle
men, started for London on Tuesday, at
1011. 45m. The Times says the train
reached Birminghain at 35m.. having
completed the distance, ninetyseven miles
in 2h. 50m. From this, time must be de
ducted, however, 15in. lost in waiting tan
! til a luggage train was moved off the line;
so that, including stoppages to take in
coke and water, the journey was accom
plished in 211. 35m. The train left Bir
mingham at 2h. 5m., and reached the
Elston station, London, at sh. SOm., thus
completing the distance, one hundred and
twelve miles, in 3h. 25m., including the
time lost in replenishing coke and water.
The whole journey from Liverpool to Lon
don was thus accomplished in less than'
six hours, at an aversge speed thirty-five
miles per hour, though, on certain parts'
of the line, the speed must have been at
lest sixty miles in the hour!
Temperance 'fleeting.
The monthly meeting of the Washing-
ton Temperance Society of the borough of
Huntingdon, will be held in the Court
Honse on Saturday evening the 11th inst.
The members are requested to be punc
tual in their attendance. All' persons
friendly to the cause—the Ladies—Cler
gy, and all others are respectfully and
earnestly invited to attend. Several ad
dresses will be delivered.

PURGATION DECIDEDLY SUPERIOR TO
BLEEDING—When the properties of Bran
dreth's Vegetable Universal Pills have been
appreciated, bleeding will no longer be
thought of as a remedy for diseases, for in
violent inflamation, eight or ten of them will
take in the course of two or three hours more
of the impure humors from the body, by
the stomach and bowels, than bleeding to the
extent of forty onces could possibly have
done; and it should be remembered that the
Pills remove only those parts from the blood
which were the cause of inflamation; where
as bleeding removes the essential parts also.
How great the prostration of all the corpo
rial powers after a copious bleeding. On the
contrary, what agility and strength is felt
after a dose of this medicine; the body is in
deed lightened of a load. Nothing is equal
to ridding the vitiated humors with vegeta
ble medicine of this kind, woicli eighty-four
years have proved clever to do injury, out al
ways good. Is the pulse to high ! A dose
of Pills will br:ng it down. Is it too low?
the same means will increase it to a proper
standard.—ls it tremulous, showing excite
ment! The Pills, by soothing the system,
will allay it.
Purchase them in Huntingdon of Wm.
