Whig Principles,
a The princigal objects which, I suppose, engage
the common &Vire and the common exertions of
the Whig party, to bring about, in the Government
of the United States are :
1. A SOUND NATIONAL connEwcy, regulated by
the will and authority of the nation.
2. AN ADEQUATE REVENUE, with fair protec
tion to AMERICA. INDUSTRY.
3. JUST RESTRAINTS ON THEEMECUTIVE Pow
.en, embracing/ail/ter restrictions on the exercise
of the veto.
4. A faithful administration of tho runLlc no
31`.kr,r, with AN EILITITAHLH ntsTatnunox of the
proceeds of sales of it among all the states.
5. AN HONEST AND ECONOMICAL ADMINISTRA
TION OP THE novnitsm's,r, 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 the Presidential office to a SIN.
ULE TEILN.
These objects attained. T think that we should
cease to be afflicted with bad administration of the
Qovernment."—Henry Clay.
THE OCTOBER ELECTIONS,
NEW7ERSET,
The Whigs of New Jersey have achieved a glo
rious victory. Stratton (Whig) has a majority of
1600 for Governor.
MARYLAND.
The official majority for Pratt (Whig) is 548.
Li 1841, Thomas (Loco) was elected by a majority
of 639.
OHIO.
The returns from Ohio, as far as ascertained, are
quite cheering. The Whigs have no doubt carried
the State by a handsome majority.
PENNSYLVANIA.
LEGISLATURE.-2rom all that we can learn
we give it as our opinion that the next Legislature
will stand about like the last. Perhaps a small
gain for the Whigs.
GOVERNOR.—Mr. Spunk, though not de
feated, has been awfully scared. He is probably
elected by a plurality of from 3 to 5000 votes.
Mr. Lemoyne, the Abolition candidate, has, it is
thought, received three or four thousand votes in
Allegheny, Maher, Beaver &e., which makes Mr.
Shenk probably a minority Governor.
CONGRESS.—Our delegation in the next
Congress will probably stand 13 Whigs to 11 Le
cofocos. A Whig gain of 2.
