Whig Principles.
"The principal objects which, I suppose, engage
the common desire and the common exertions of
the Whig party, to bring about, in the Government
of the United States are:
1. A ROUND NATIONAL CURRENCY, regulated by
the will and authority of the nation.
2. AN ADEIWATH nEvENeE, with fair protec
tion to AMERICAN Ixotrarny.
3. JURT newer' Airrs or Tat:EXECUTIVE Pow-
RR, embracing Arther restrictions on the exerciso
of the veto.
4. A faithful administration of the PUBLIC DO
MAIN, with AN EQUITABLE nirrnitityrior of the
proceeds of sales of it among all the states.
b. AN lIONLST F.CONOMICAL
TION or TOE riovsaNNENT, leaving public officers
perfect freedom of thought and of the right of suf
frage, but with suitable restraints against improper
interference in elections.
6. An amendment...of tho Constitution, limiting
the incumbent of tho Presidential office to a BIN.
OLE TF.IOI.
Those objects attained. I think that we should
cease to bo afflicted with bad administration of the
Govern ment."—Henry Clay.

of the Locofoco Convention.

A gang of thieves, seven in number, have
been arrested in the vicinity of Wilksharre, Pa.,
and lodged in jail. They have committed several
depredations, and some of the stolen property has
been discovered.

Dottsrrrc Sins:.—We were shown, says the
Raleigh Star, a beautiful specimen of the silk hand
kerchiefs manufactured by Mrs. Colburn, of this
city, front cocoons of her own raising. She will
make about two hundred, and sells them readily at
$1 25 cents each.
HATCHING BY STEAN.-Tho new system of
hatching eggs by steam, or by means of the accala
(Aiwa as it is called.—We furnish the spelling, our
readers must give the pronunciation—has caused
the gratest excitement among the hens and chick
ens of Boston, if any reliance can be placed in a
statement made in the Mail. According to the pa
per, there was recently a general meeting of the
poultry on the common, the indignant fowls, after
not a little cackling, choosing an old rooster chair
man. On mounting his perch, he gave a tremen
dous crow—a crow which completely "took the
rag off" of Chapman—and then proceeded to ex
plain the object of the meeting. This done, a pre
amble and series of resolutions were offered and
missed, amid sound of flapping of wings, crowing
and cackling. We give ono or two of the latter:
Rooked, That man, in thus denying us the pri
vilege of rearing our own olLpring and depriving us
of our rights as parents, by substituting in our stead
an inanimate machine, has reached the climax of
oppression, and should no longer prate about " Li
berty and equal rights." (Great Crowing, cack
ling and indignation all round.)
Resolved, That some decisive measures must be
adopted to put a stop to this "growing evil," and
we therefore pledgo ourselves, by "stealing our
nest" &c., to thwart its operation as much as in us
lies; and, if these means prove ineffectual, to stop
..laying," and thus give man an opportunity to
show his ingenuity and independence by inventing
a machine to lay aawell as katch eggs!
This latter resolution was received with most up
roarious applause, the great number of cocks pres
ent all crowing with double energy, and the fierce
cackling of the vast congregation of hens, formed a
scene of confusion and uproar, which, as the novel
into say, may be imagined but not described. This
over, the congregation flew to their roosts, and all
their heads were soon buried under their wings.--
The hens have it.
Too Missount FllllBllET.—The St. Louis Re

Along the river, wherever there are low or bottom
lands—in villages, farms, and oven in the forest—
there are evidences of the flood. Acres of ground
are covered over with sand, in tome places to tho
depth of many feet. In such cases, it will bo sev

EFFECT or THE 'Pantry ON THE Ines Tanya.—
Pig iron has raised since October $5 per ton. Penn
sylvania makes 150,000 tons a year, making a dif
ference of "i,750,000; half enough to pay her in
terest on the State debt, on this one article. And
all this brought about by the Whig Tariff of 1842,
which Mr. Polk wishes to repeal.--Miner's Jour.
From the York " People's Advocate."
The Hon. Hamar Denny's Lotter.
The locofoco papers here and else
where, for want of better material were
with to prop their sinking cause, are try.
log to prove that Mr. Clay is not a Tar
iff' man, by publishing a letter of the Hon.
(formai. Denny, written in 1888, just be
fore the passage of the Compromise Act,
which was opposed by Mr. Denny, Mr.
Webster, and many others as injurious to
the manufacturing Interest of the country,
!Or the purpose of proving that Mr. Clay
then turned his back upon the Tardy;
they forgetting all the vl bile, that Polk
and Dallas both voted for the same Com
promise, and are, thus at least, as guilty
as Mr. Clay.
The transactions of that period were
ne or understood until of late years; riot.
as Mr. 'Jenny says, was M r. Clay's course,
in relation to that very question, then un
derstood or appreciated either in or out
of Congress. Mr. Clay believed that
Gen. J ackson, backed by his party strength
at that time, would destroy the Tariff,
and it certainly would have been so, it
the old man's feelings on that point had
not been counterbalanced by his earnest
wish to find an excuse to hang John C.
Calhoun, which inclined hint for the time
to favor the manufacturing interests so as
to irritate the Calhoun party that he might
have an excuse under the power given by
the Forten Btu, just then passed, to
break into South Carolina and suspend
the great nullifier. Henry Clay out•wit
tell Jackson and saved both the neck of
John C. Calhoun and the Tariff by one
stroke, leaving to it, as lie remarked to
Mr. Denny, " ten years, and the chap
ter of accidents.' Misunderstood as Mr.
Clay then was, by almost every one, is it
surprising that Mr. Denny, warm friend
as he was to the Tarif, should complain
in a private letter, as he did complain, of
what he supposed the desertion of Mr.
Clay, the KNOWN FATHER OF THE AMER•
!CAN SYSTEM. For be it known, this was
a private letter, filched by dishonourable
hands and published over Mr. Denny's
name, for a dishonourale purpose. We
further remark, that Mr. Clay introduced
his Bill to the Senate on the L'lth of Feb
ruary—it was referred on the 13th, and
Mr. Denny's letteOwas writtenon the 14th
evidently befin•e lie had an opportuni
ty of lolly knowing Mr. Clay's view.—
However let Mr. Denny speak for him
self.
ExTRACTS
Of a letter from the lion. Harman Denny
to Thomas C. Humbly, Esq, of this
place, dated, Springfield, near Pills
burg, me. 28, 1843 :
You will remember that alter touch
excitement and prolonged discussion we
passed the Teri!Fact of July 1832, to go
into operation from and after the Sd of
March 1835. he Tariff of 1832, modi
fied that of 1828 and seemed to have giv
en satisfaction generally except in South
Carolina. In December, 1832, a new
Bill was introduced by Mr. Verplaeck
clatirman of Ways and Means, greatly re
ducing the Tariff passed in July previous.
This produced an animated discussim.
which was continued until towards the
last of February 1833. The Pensylvania
Legislature," (which was Democratic at
that time,) passed resolutions in Janu
ary a;. , ,aitist this bill, and in favour of
protection, &c. On the 18th of Febru
ary, I addressed the House at large
against the bill, and on the general sub
ject. During the whole debate I labored
assiduously to preserve the principle of
protection and to defend the interests of
my immediate constituents as well as
those of our good U•ortinonwealth front the
destruction which Verplanck's bill would
bring upon them. While under excited
hopes and fears, you may imagine our
surprise and feelings produced at the in
troduction in the Senate nn the 12th of
February of Mr. Clay's hill, afterwards
known as the Compromise bill. On the
13th it was referred to a select cotninittee
viz. Mr. Clay, Calhoun, Grundy, Web
ster, Clayton, Rives and DALLAS. On
the 19th Feb." Mr. Clay reported the
hill from the Committee. Its consider
ation was then postponed. It was after
wards taken up and I think perfected in
the Senate. In consequence of the opin
ion that this was a revenue measure, and
rnuld not constitutionally originate in the
Senate, it was given to a member of the
House of Representatives. When the
House of Representatives went into• Cums
mittre of lit" whole on the State of the
Union to consider the 'tatitt bill under
discussion (ilr. Verplanck's) and which
we hatl very mai ehally amended, Mr.
Leacher moved the recommitment of the
hill with instructions to amend the same by
•übstituting Mr. Clay's bill. This mo
tion prevailed 25th February, and the
next day the Compromise bill passed the
House and was sent to the Senate. * *
* * * My letter is dated the 14111
of February-1833 Wore Mr. Clay ha,t
explained fits views respecting the opera
tions o/' his bill. 1 ` * In
common with all the 'Foramen limn the
North, tint nearly all from N. V., Pete,.
and N. Jersey, I opposed the measure. anti
differed from the distinuoiAetl Senator
train Kentucky. * * * * Ile
and a great majority of Ilk Thrift' friends
certainly separated tin the propo-itions
submitted by him. * * A differ
ence of opinion, or an error of judgement
cannot be considered as a neraction
from principle. Look at the vote,—from
Maine, Mr. Evaus was the only Whig anti
ways a decided Taritrotan, voted in the
Negative, as did also all the members from
Mass. R. I. Conn. V't. N. J. and Dela
ware, good and true Tariffmen, 18 from
N. Y. and 21 from Penn. which induced
the Pennsylvania tariff men, but 4, one of
whom was doubt fut. This shows the
opinions then of the Tariffm en, To
these may be added Carey and Niles who
were untiring advocates of American In
dustry. * * * * *
The declarations which lie made subse
quently in debate placed hi+ . motives in
the clearest sunshine ol the noblest pltri•
otism. In this belief I was confirmed in
a conversaCon I had with Mr. C. after
' the bill had passed. You remember the
crisis which we had reached. We did
not know at what moment South Carolina
and flue authorities of the General Goy
, ernment under Jackson would come into
direct and open conflict. The next Con.
gress would be composed of a majority of
A nti•Tariffinen who with the admini-tras
flan, as some b elieved, would destroy the
whole system of 'Protection. Knowing
the violent temper of Gen. Jackson--. Mr.
Clay, wills the patriotic view of 'allaying
the discontent of die South preventing
the calamities of civil war and with a
hope of ultimately saving our manufactu•
rers from destruction boldly came for
ward and risking the opposition of his
Tariff' friends, proposed the Compromise
bill. It was to preserve in his opinion
union and peace and secure for 9 or I()
years some dugree of permanence to our
system of protection. In his language to
me " It will give us, Mr. Denny, 10 years
to go upon and the chapter. of accidents."
I replied " that is title," "and in the
course of that time I think Va. limit oth
er Southern States will become raritr."
We all know the s.'quel, Deuce was pre
served, and now, there is perhaps a stron•
ger interest felt throughout the Union 'n
favor of protection than existed at any
other period."
" Although I was as zealous as Mr.
Clay in the Fame great cause, yet I could
nut view the provisions of the Comprom
ise bill in a favorable light at the time,
and coining as it did, at the moment we
were striving to preserve a measure which
was already a law and soon to go into op
eration, it caused some chagrin and dis
appointment." * * * *
Even if the words ..left his Tariff
friends"&c., are to be understood as mean
ing an abandorment of his favorite sys
tem, it only shows how much mistaken
I was at the time. His course since stud
repeated declarations on the subject
bear ample testimony of his devotion to
the great cause of protecting American
labor and American products. Mr.
Clay believed that the cash payments of
duties, and the provision for a home val
nation would afford reasonable protection
under the Compromise law, and in the
debate which took place a short time bt.-
lore the bill passed, he stated that "Is
hoped the manufacturers would go on
and prosper, confident that the abandon
ment of protection was never intended.
looking to snore favorable times for a re
newal of a more efficient Tara"
The whole letter refers to a subject and
opinions, passed gone and refuted. We
can now look back to the period which
gave rise to them, tree from the influen,
tf feelings and pry judices which may
have prompted too hasty expressions,
and lead to mistaken conclusions. Ml'.
Clay has survived them all, and Ins exal
ted character cannot suffer from mune•
ous opinions, formed or uttered 10 years
ago. .No political capital can be made
out of my letter; it furnishes no real
foundation for opposition to Mr. Clay;
there is nothino• ' tangible in It. As regards
myself, it maybe considered as a proof of
my intense and over anxiety, and deep
felt interest fur the preservation of A
measure which 1 considered of vital im
portance to the emintry, and which I had
strepuously advocated. There is nothing
in the letter, nor in Mr. Clay's coarse
since it was written which makes it in
the least possible degree inconsistent for
me to give to him the most zealous and
cordial support; on the contrary, he is
justly entitled to it all, and- not only from
me, but from every good citizen, who nets
a proper value uphn the services or so ills
tioguished a patriot, who has devoted the
greatest part of a long life to promote the
best interests of our common country."

linviNG in oar mill one of Grimes' Pat
ent Smut iVlachicws, and having used the
same for five months pest, we certify that it
is decidedly superior to any other kind of
machines intended for the same purpose of
which we have any knowledge, without the
use of a fe.n. It thoroughly cleanses the
wheat of all Smut, white caps, dust, &c.,
without waste of grain. We recommend
it to millers as a machine well worthy their
:Avalon, and one which will most fully
answer their most ftvorabie exp , ctations.
D. BROOKE & SON.
BEING m iller for a number of years I
have had the opportunity of trying several
kind of Smut Machines but have never found
any that would cleanse wheat so well with
as little waste as Grimes' Patent Smut Ma
elm,. I have used it for a year or more
and have not discovered that it is wearing
any and runs very easy.

Morrison'e Cove, July 6, 1844.
Tots is to certify, that we have been using
Grim,' Patent Smet Machine for sometime
and find it to be far superior to Young's Ma
chin, as it thoroughly cleanses the worst of
smut wheat, not only of smut, but also all
other dirt and impureties, without any waste
of wheat whatever. We had Young's Ma
chine in use three years and had ample time
to try it fairly, and we unhesitatingly de
dare it as our opinion that its construction
is tint on the principle of cleaning smut
wheat as it loses too much wheat and won't
clean smutty wheat; but in some Casea
when any quantity run through appeared in
mAte it worse. We cheerfully reecommend
Grimes' Machine to millers as a perfect
Smut M.:chine.

WHIG TRIUMPH!!
READ YOUR DOOM—Locos !
The news from North Carolina may he stated in
short compass. It is of a gratifying character for
the Locofoco majority in the Legislature is com
pletely overthrown--a gain of TwEsTr-roun mem
bers having given the Whigs a majority on joint
ballot.
The following extracts give the general result: we
have received sufficient returns to make it pretty
certain that North Carolina has elected a Whig
Governor and a Whig Legislature by majorities
hardly hoped for by those who had the most con
fidence in her intelligence and integrity. About
half of the numerical vote of the State has been
heard from, which gives the Whig candidate more
votes than were given in the same counties for
the Whig candidate for Governor in 1842 when
he received in the whole State a majority of 4,345
votes--Nit. Inicilt:trencer.
Tho Richmond Whig says that tho Whig gain
in the Legislature, as far as heard from, is 19, and
Whig loss 2, making a clear Whig gain of 17, and
of course a difference on joint ballot of 34 in favor
of the Whigs.
