Whenever you ire told, by fthose demagogues who bluster about the polls election days, shouting "Hurrah for the riends of the People!" "Vote for those men ,who are in favor of letting 'the democracy of numbers' have their proper voice in the government of the oountry!" point their attention to he resolution of Henry Clay, introduced into the present Congress, providing that 'Whenever clear majority of the people of 'ie United Suites shall bo in fnvor of a lien k of s II ni t u J Sietee, a Bunk of the United states : .all be established." .And then point such demagogues to the notes lSf the whole Van Burin force in the Senate, which stand recorded against this resolution! These Van Buren men are fine friends of the People! most excellent advocates for the rights of "the democracy of numbers!" handsomo pro- cluimers of the democratic republican doctrine that the "majority shall govern!" solemnly voting, W their places in Congress, that "a clear j-wjarity of titt people" thai! NOT have their own jsay! . "SPOILS OF VICTORY." " 'To the victors belong the spoilt of victory!" Was a year or two since proclaimed by an up bolder of this Administration, in his place in Congress. This has long been the doctrine of the "rule or ruin" men who now lord it in the Und : and in practicing upon it, they are daily uproving. What could represent their pro. .ess in reform, more admirably than the fol. wing paragraph from the Philadelphia Herald nd Sentinel of the 28th ult. : vVe undcrstond thnt somo twenty-five or twen- ven hundred Custom House Uonds become on the 1st instant, in this citv, most ot which .o probably renewed.

MAINE, CERTAIN AT LAST. The Kennebec (Mo.) Journal, of tho 27th September, later than any previously received iates from the. real "Down Easters," Bays: Tho conflict, then, is over ! tho victory is on ! Edwaiid Kent IS elected Governor, i a majority of all the vola ! " 'Tis thus that o Democracy of Numbers is every whero tri-.nphiiig over the Aristocracy of Office. 57" It is intimated in the Cincinnati Whig, tho 3d inst., that Joseph S. Bcnham, the groat Ihinoccros of the West, and editor of that Ohio lid Kentucky Journal which stands, to enlighten So peoplo, with ono foot in Cincinnati, on the orth side of tho Ohio river, and tho other lit ovington, on tho South side, is to supersede i Republican and Advertiser as Government nter in those regions.

No looting of the kind represented in the States. nsn, or in any manner resembling it, was over hn'd within the enuntv of Franklin. t7"Ti'c Cincinnati Whig has boon informed by a gentleman just from W nslungton City, that Amos Lane, recently defeated in tho Lawrence-burgh (la.) Congressional District by young Mr. Dunn, has succeeded in getting somo of the officials to recommend him as a suitable person to represent the United States at Bogota. Amos, no doubt, thinks it hard times, when a gentleman of his cloth must suck a whole month at tho bunghole of Government Patronage to draw out a naked recommendation. j7"The New-York Express states that at this time there Is more specie flowing into that city than runs out. New-York may boast of this; but Philadelphia can beat her all hollow in the matter of Shin-Plasters. But when the 'Littlo Fox" and the "Grent Sharer" got their Shin-Plaster machine in operation, Washington will be the great attraction of all admiring .yes, and every other city will liavo to fold its arms and look on In silent wonder.

Various amendments were offered, and rejected. One was by Mr. Benton, and went for striking out the whole bill, and inserting a substitute which would require the Secretary of the Treasury to invest the public revenue in the most convenient corporate Banks as special deposites. Mr. Ntles called the ayes and nays on this amendment. We subjoin them : Yeas Messrs.

We doubt not tho voters of Cuyahoga "can" and "will" do as they resolve in the last of their resolutions. Resolved, That tho late glorious Whig triumph in Maine is s fit matter for congratulation to the Whigs of tho Union, and that wo hail thia light from the East as the dawn of a brighter day, ere tonff, wo trust, to shine over our wliolo country. Jiesolrcd, That the Whig victory in .Maine,wliicli wo celebrate, provesthnt the people arc Btill awake to the defenco of true Republican principles; and that like their fathers, they are ready to do battle in their defence. Ilcsoleed, That the results of tho luto elections in various parts of the Union, show clearly that tltc people are not to be doceivod by sophistry, nor dazzled by humbugs, and that the efforts of designing dcniognjjucs to tnialeud them uro vain and fruitless. Resolved, That the attempt now making by the Van Huren party to establish one currency fur tho oflicc-boldors and another fur the people, has been natty rebuked uy the poonlo ol Elaine, and wi I we trust receive no sanction from the freemen ol Ohio. Resolved, That wo aro advocates of bank ro- furin, and not of bank destruction; and as on evi dence of our practice coiilurminir to our professions, we point to our candidates for tho Legisla ture, noituer ol whom is a stockholder in, or debtor of any hank. Jteioleed, I hat while we count the laborer wor thy of his biro, we do not recognize the right of our servants to Iced us Willi the crumbs Irom our own tablet. Resolved, That wo havo not forgotten the infa mous apportionment bill, by which the Van Uuren party contrived to thrust that fiithful servant of iho people and loo ol corruption, 1 liomiis bwing, from tho U. Senate last year, ami that our caiidi dates this year are, we believe, men who will do their utmost to ropair the wrong. Resolved, That tho main stay of our Republic is the ballot box well tilled with Whig votes. Ilcsoleed, That tho Whigs of Cuyahoga county are hound to maintain the majority nf lust year, and that we pledge ourselves to do our duty. Resolved, That we can defeat the landals, ond that we will do it.

OUR STATE OUR CITY. We aro on the throshhold of our Annual State Elections. So far as wa had duties to perform as political sentinels, we believe that wo have accomplished them. We have sounded the cry of warning to the People ; it remains for the Peoplo to declare their will at the Polls. Our duties as editors, sa connected with this election, will cease with tho announcement of its final result. The Journal and Register will hereafter be more particularly devoted, than of late has been the case, to matters of general information and instruction. One prominent object of our labors will be, to place prominently before our readers statistical and descriptive references to the many beautiful and flourishing cities and villages which are almost daily springinginto existence, and acquiring commercial consequence in eve ry district and county of this groat Key-stone of the Western Arch, at the political and geographical centro of which it is our good fortune to be located. To assist us in carrying into effect the design here broached, it is our earnest request to those possessed of information of the kind to which we have referred, to communicate the same to us for publication. We shall, however, not depend altogether upon this source of acquiring the knowledge we desire, but shall draw upon our contemporaries for any thing of the kind that may appear in their columns. In pursuance of the latter determination, wo append an extract from an article which appears in the Chillicothc Gazette of this week, embodying the observations of tho editor during a lato visit to this city. Tho extract is of a flattering nature, and we have to thank our down-stream friend fur this favorable expression of his good will: "Columbus, sineo by legislative sanction sho was christened a city, has put on a physical, as well as municipal, livery, which becomes the name. Independently of the various edifices with which the Stato has beatititied her site, several of her enterprising and wealthy citizens havo caused to ba erected many elegant buildings, which already givo lo Columbus tho air of an oldurcity. besides iho usual expenditures for that purpose, tho lut-liolders havo subscribed $10,000 fur paving tho streets, which aro undergoing a radical reform from the condition in which Nuturo left them, lo ono better suited to the 'common valh nf life.' For many hundred yards beyond the lines of houses, in three directions, this improvement will extend, thus throwing into market bits which, without it, would bo boyond notice or nttractiun. Tho moreunlile establishments of the young metropolis nlso partaku largely of the oir of grandeur above alluded to. Stores are crowded into splendid four-story brick blocks, snd filled with warns and mcrcliulldizc in the must tasteful manner; but it was too npparent that business here, as well as in other places, is weighed down by the ull-pervading pressure. The hotels of this city, good as thuyure, are hardly worthy the State Capital, in point of lizo nnd capacity for accommodating the thousands who there sojnurn. Co- temporary with the ncie olutc llouac, winch naa bocli much tulkcd of of lute, both ill tho Lcgisla turo and in 'privalo circles,' we may expect lo seo a hotel go up which will livul Madeira's of Chilli-cotho, or the Gait House of Louisville, if not the mammoth establishment of Astorin Nuw York. The benevolent institutions which hnve recent ly beeu created under State patronage, are lead- ingoiijucts ol interest here, I lie Veal and Dumb Asylum, the School for the Ulind, as well as the Asylum that is to lie fur Lunnlics, are now, or will soon be, accommodated with capacious and taste ful structures, nucii enterprises aro worthy a great and flourishing Christian State, and reflect upon tho men who, amid tho turmoil nnd contemptible bickerings of mere party, conceived and prosecuted to adoption ihcso philanthrupic works. There arc many things in the State Capital which tho Cbillicothcnns might copy to od-vanlago, ono of which wo will mention as porti-nent to tho siibjccl, broached by sundry citizent in anothor column of this pnper. This it their Firo Department. Hero thero aro throo largo and tplelidid firo engines, each under tho charge of ils rcspeclivo company of from forty to sixty members. These, in case of fire, aro subject lo tho direction of s chief engineer, who is chosen by tho companies, and who directs tho whole cordon in lime of action. With such cflicicnt arrangements, it is scarcely possible that a fire could do extensive damngo. In tho march of improvement the course of Columbus is onward; and, nlthotigh circumstances having the most bonign effect upon her prosperity, have given her many advantages which hor neighbor further down ibo Valley does not possess, thero are numberless reasons for behoving that Chillicotlio will fast 'follow in her fooiatepa.' To all that ia groat and noble,Gud speed ilieui both RANK TORYISM. The Administration papers of Ohio are exhibiting the cloven foot of Toryism with a boldness and a recklessness which aro astonishing even in them. Somo weeks ago tho New York Star, in allusion to the recent election in Rhode Island, oppressed this sentiment: "Fortunately for Jlhode Island, and fortunate would it be were it so in our whole land, FltFICMEX only voted there." This glorious sentiment was copied in- lo our papor, and warmly approved. And fur tho utterance and reiteration of it, tho Star and tho Register, and oven tho wholo Opposii in parly, havo over sinco been abused, by the dd- j ministration papers of this Suite, with all the arts of misrepresentation, obloquy, and slaiicr, j We gloried that Freemen only were oIIowkI a voico in tho election of the servants to whonvire entrusted tho rights of Freemen, and for thacx-, proskion of this free, democratic rupublbao I sontiint nt, wo aro taken to Usk by tho Adnie-! islrulion editors, men who, to iudgo by llcir opposition to it, ore in favor of allowing slieh cut-throats as MEUNIERand ALIBAUD, the miscreants who attempted to take tho life nltho t rencli King, to conic oecr litre nwr tan ioii dor places.

Cootf Sentiment." J7 Wo learn, w ith extreme regret, lint Mr Constuhlo Stftls wns thrown from his horan this afternoon, a few miles from town, and injured so badly that it is feared ho cannot recover, i A GOOD SENTIMENT. "Fortunately for lifwde hland, and fortunate would it be if it were to throughout our whole land, at the recent Congressional election in that Suite FREEMEN only voted." The history of this admirable republican son-timeut, which first npprarcd in tho New York Star, is briefly as follows : It may be remembered that immediately previous to the Rhode leland elections, a certain vessel was ordered from Philadelphia to Providence, there to be fitted out for its intended voyage. It was charged upon the managers of the concerns of 'the party" in and about Philadelphia and Washington, that this movement, at this particular titic, was made for the base purpose, and no other under heaven, of taking round a band of mercenaries, nntcitizensof Rhode Island, even if they wore citizens of the United States, to vote away the strength of native and naturalized Americans, "for a consideration." This charge was made repoatedly in Philadelphia, New York, and Baltimore; it was rung into tho ears of the political eorruptionists, from almost every honest and independent press in those regions; and so discaijerted were "the party," at the discovery of their wicked design, and so abashed at the accusation, which was thundered in their ears from every crowJ, and stared thorn in the face from (very street corner, that they backed out and suffered the native and naturalized American citizens of Rhode Island to elect tbnir public servants without molestation, such as had for years ben made at the polls in Philadelphia, Baltimore, knd New York. And it was with an eye to these facts, and exclusively in this light, that the New York Star declared, and tho Ohio Political Register reiterated, that "fortunate wai it fur Rhode Island, and fortunate would it be were it so in the whole coun try, Mi E K.VEy only voted there!" Such is the history of this sentiment, which Iras frightened the tory editors of Ohio half out of their wits. Is it not and wo now address ourselves to Freemen, not to tho slaves and minions of power to Freemen, by which term we mean alike rnlive American citizens, and those honest Germans, nnd Europeans generally, who have wisely chosen to become American citizens, and who arc American citizens, through the operation of our laws of naturalization, as much os any of us it is to tucA men that we now address ourselves, and wo ask thorn seriously, Is not the sentiment above expressed, a great anil glorious sentiment! We know that you think it is, for you are ull now Freemen, and are too wise to tllow such men us Meunier and Alibaud, and of lers who are compelled to "leave their country for their country's good," to go up to your ballot-ioxes, and brow-beat you, and push you asido, and vote away your liborties. You are too wiso to permit this. We know, therefore, that roti heartily respond to the sentiment, that in His free land none but fres men iAoud be allowal lo participate in the elections of our public officcts. Remember then, in all your future actions, that this sentiment is repudiated y tho Van Buren papers of Ohio that they have disavowed it, anddenounco tlusc that hold it; and when they asl you to go with them, toll them plainly and bluntly, that you go another track: let them know you aro not ignorant thnt you live in a land of law, and that one of thoso laws vory properly mates it necessary that foreign emigrants rnsido heo long enough to get some acquaintance with oir political institutions, before they can be- cotio invested with all our political rights: let tlun know at once that you nro aware of these thhgs that you considor them right that you krfw them to bo lawful and that you mean to sutporl the laws. And toll them that if they are infavor of admitting banished auassins to tho rihts of citizenship, you are not. PARTIES. The Merchant and Reformer classes Parties uder four distinct heads. First: Tho.Wini'nuro-tin Party proper, whoso energies aro ot this Wo directed to tho effecting nf a separation or idivorco" of the Government from Banks. Second: Tho Conservatives, who have split from ie main body of the Administration Parly be-ati80 of this threatened "divorce," and are )r bringing tho Put Banks again into favor, "hird : Tho -Vod'onnii, as the Reformer terms ie friends of the United Statos Bank, theTa-ifl-, ke. Fourth: Tho iVafct Hights Party, lliich means the Southrons generally, and the rends of John C. Calhoun in particular. Theae divisions and sub-divisions, it appears 0 us, only tend to confuse. There aro in fact lit two great parties in tho country the Whirrs .a(i Torl(,g) ,-, Republicans and Monarchists, ' ,u,u Opposition and Administration and for iimplicity sake, if nothing else, wo should call by one or tho other of thoso names. Wo prfet tho last, Administration and Opposition, mi shall hereafter use them in general if not altogether. They express what it is wished to illvo understood bolter than any othor terms, and can convey no reproach, give no offence, as nay the epithets Tory and Monarchist. Tho Opposition Party should remember that its strength is daily and hourly Increasing, through fallings off in the Administration ranks; nnd recollecting this, it is not the part of wisdom or po- icy to prick old sores, or press hardly upon tun- out any grudge against tin. In the new light which w ill strike them soon after their change of positions, they will see their old errors, nnd repent them thereof. Li t us neither do nor say any thing to retard tho progress of so good u work. 03- MARYLAND. -CO III Baltimore county, ull Administration men elected.

In this city it is !, " THE MAN OF IDEAS." Tho Journal and Reirister keens standing a quotation from the Plain Dealer, which we should like the editor to inform the public whero he obtained it. We are a regular reader of that paper, and we never saw such a sentiment in its columns, neither do we believe the editor of the Flam Dealer is such a blockhead as to permit its publication, for we know he holds no such opinions. Many of his views do not coincide with ours, yet upon the wholo we have considered him a powerlul and manly debater, with many most excellent sentiments." It has long been evident that the man of ideas of the Ohio Statesman, is a man without eyes. Ho is " a regular reader " of tho Plain Dealer; yet ho "never saw" "such sentiments" in its columns! Let him look below, und forever after hold his peace. Prom the New York Evening filar, September 27. THE PLAIN HEALER. We published an extract from the Plain Dealer and Examiner, as we supposed, setting forth the doctrines of the Loco beat, which was in the following words : "That all debts ns declared to be debts or uoror; that the judiciary be reformed, and precedents abolished; that the poslio domain be free to actual setti.eos ; and that a state Convention be held in Utica, on the second Monday in September next, to devise a new constitution, which shall be based solely upon a principle op right or conscience, and which shall recognize neither law nor the legal protection of 1.iee and property." The Plain Dealor of last Saturday utterly denies the paternity of such sentiments and principles in the following languago : " If any curious reader should take it into his head to search the newspapers from which Ihe foregoing pnstngu it said lo be quoted, in order to see lit context, or ascortain any otier circumstance respecting it, he would have his labor for his pains. Thousnnds, hovover, will pcruso il, into whose minds not a doubt will enter of its perfect genuineness. To our readers we need not say that it ia a sltcer fabrication a lio out of whole cloth. Neither the Plaiiidealcr nor tho Examiner ever uttered such a sentiment, and this wuv perfectly well known to the Evening Star, when it placed tncyurery in its columns." As we made the extract from a Boston paper, and seldom charge ourselves with reading, much less retaining in memory, the crude andill-digested, and uniformly impracticable views of the Plain Dealer on political economy, metaphysics and Auctions, we at once quoted our authority, and backed out from the premises, if not with grace, certainly with candor, for we never intentionally wish to misrepresent the views of a cotemporary. A friend, however, who roads much and retains what he reads, called our attention to certain extracts from the Plain Dealer, from which all this charge of "forgery," and a "lie out ot whole cloth," is mere moonshine and humbug, and the Plain Dealer it shewn up as loose in his memory as he is in his principles. On the first of July last there is printed in tho Tlain Dealer tho proceedings of the Loco Foco party, from which we make the following extract:"Probably the best mode of completely destroying both the curse of paper money, and the curse of usury, would be, simply (o let credit alone; lo leave each man's credit lo stand solely on itsown bottom, without any attempt lo strengthen or weaken it by legislation; and, by our sunslituliou, to perpetually prohibit tho luw from ever interfering in any tliaps with any contract of debt, either to enforce or lo annul it. Thit measure would make nil debts contracted after its adoption, what all debts should be, debts of Itotur. ll would prevent the man of doubtful honesty, whatever might be hit wealth, froin obtaining vory extensive credit; and it would enable the hoiicat man, however poor, to obtain at much credit as he ought. It would subject the man whothould be guilty of trusting a speculator or knave, to the just punishment of losing his debt; and it would cause a single dishonest act to blast itt perpetra-lor't credit wherever be ihould bo known. The beneficial effects of tuch a measure will appear the moro complete and extensive, the more it it examined; nnd it would havo the great merit of being simple, efficient, and iusl. "A reform of the judiciary system would naturally engage the attention of the convention we propose. If our judges are to have the power uf drawing their deci.ioua fruin an intcrminuble fog-bank of laws and precedents, and dead men's opinions, thoy ought to be made more nearly res ponsible lo Iho people who aro compelled lo pay their wages, and to submit to all their decisions.

" It would bo both inconvenient and unnecessary to ndvert lo all the subjects lliol might besiihmit-ed to the consideration of the proposed Convention. What we oorselvot with is. a NEW CON- STITUTiON, based not upon coinpromiso, not upon any narrow views ot temporary expediency, but upon the broad and eternal basis of RIGHT.

And thit it all." Now wo ask any candid reader to peruse this extract, and compare the recommendations il contains with tho above motto, said to he from the Plain Dealer ond Examiner, and pronounced to be a " lio" and a " forgery," and nsk himself whether It is not substantially, mid almost in words, the same identical and indivisible thing. But this is not nil. In the very same paper, the Editor of the Plain Dealer himself endorses the above sentiments nnd recommendations, in the following decided manner: "Ilni Uxc means sutreestcd of doing axenv the erils ofiiapcr money and the eonscoucnl exorbitance of usury, nas our most unqc alified approval:" '"'ib let ecr lH ooiie' it Me simile and effectual prcfrriptwn, which, if adopted, would eertainlu and spceditit cure Uic maladies which now aJHiet tltc country, fhcre are many whose minds are not prepared to receive this nroioiii'on in Uic latitude of tifpifica-fton which is girm to it in tlte address, and mau naturally he startled v a scheme whirh contemplates the abrogation of laws for tluj collection of debts.

Both Houses have determined to close this special session in a fortnight hones on Monday the lfith of October. The House, to-day, substituted that day for the 9th, which was the time designated in the resolution as it passed the Senate; and the Senate concurred iu the amendment. This decision amounts to a declaration, that nothing shall be done for the relief of the suffering people of this country; and also renders it certain, not only that the Sub-Treasury Bill will not be passed, but that it is not intended it shall be passed. Mr. Adams, and Mr. Wise, both proclaimed this as their belief to-day, and drew the attention of the House to the evidence of it. When tho resolution for terminating the session was taken up in the House, Mr. Win. Cost Johnson moved to lay it on tho table. This proposition was rejected; and then the motion was made to alter the timo. Messrs. Ilaynes of Ga., Smith of Con., Pickens of S. C, and Cam-brclcn'g, all supported the motion for fixing the period on tho loth of October. Mr. Adams protested against making this session shorter than the usual long sessions. He demanded if it wns tho intention of members to do "the Kino's business," that is, pass the money hills, and then go home! If so, then he was for adjourning to-morrow. They had done mischief enough in acting on the two measures, that had thus fur been beforO them, the Postponement Bill and the Treasury Nolo Bill both intended for the convenience and the relief of the Government alone; they were not fitted it was not even pretended that they had the slightest tendency to bring relief to the peoplo. The venerable ex-President then touched upon tho various measures brought forward by the committee of Finance and tho general condition of the business of the House and showed it was idle to talk now of the period of adjournment, if it was seriously intended that the measures should be acted on. With respect to the Bill for producing a divorce between the Banks and the Government, he declared it was not intended by the Government lobe pressed! and that, said he, ts the very reason why it was presented with so much boldness. They knew it nerer would be passed. They did not intend it shuuld be passed. Cainbreleng became so uneasy under this plain speaking, that ho started up and called Mr. Adams to order. Tho Chair decided he wns not outof order! Cam sat down discomfited. Mr. Adams shewed he was aot out of order; for he was proving why tho House might adjourn tomorrow. He asked those who represented the Exccutivo, why, if they meant to carry the moa-aure, thoy did not urge it on! Every ono, lie said, was aware that the Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Moans had only to say the word, and down would go the screw of the Previous Question. Mr. Adams proceeded in his remarks then undisturbed by the littlo Chancellor of the Exchequer, and concluded by moving to make the day of adjournment the 1st of April next. Mr. Patton, of Vs., moved to postpone the wholo matter till Monday next. Mr. Thompson, of S. C, was desirous to close the session with as little dc'ay as possible; and ad vocated the adoption of the original resolution as it came from tho Senate. Mr. Wise put n question to Cambreleng, saying his voto would depend on the answer he received. He wished to know whether it wns intended that the Sub-Treasury Bill should he brought forward bona fide, and urged to a decision this session! This was a poser. Cambreleng rose, and after fluttering awhile, his native assurance, ond n't inertia; came to his aid; and he replied that it would he brought forward at the earliest possible moment. "There will be no flinching here," said the little man, striking the place where I suppose there is a heart about as big as a pin's head "and then wo shall see too, whether the gentleman from Massachusetts will toe the mark he assum ed instate famoiiBletterofhis." Loud laughter, in which Mr. Adams joined, followed this sally, which was really qnito wonderful for so dull a littlo man as Cam. But tho mirth was increased, when Mr. Wise rose, and remarked, with infinite sang froid, that he had the gentleman's profession of intentions, nnd he was now the more satisfied that il was not intended to pass the measure. Cam tried to look like a thundercloud, but it would not do! "No," said Mr. Wise, "yon neither intend to carry your Fanny Wright Divorce Bill nor your schemes about an exclusively metallic currency." After some further discussion, the question was taken on Mr. Patton's motion to postpone tho subject ; and was negatived by a largo ma jority, without a division. Tho question then recurred on tho amendment, substituting the lGth for tho 9th of October, and carried. When the resolution thus amended came hack to the Senate, some of the members of that body wore for adhering to their origins! resolu tion; but it was soon whispered about that if they sent it back to tho House, without concur ring in the amendment, that body would proba bly mnko tho day tho tho 2.1d of October or the 9th of November, and bo the aristocrats, as Mr. Rives called them, woro fain to agroa. It is worthy of remark that one Senator, in contend ing for an adherence to iho day first appointed, said, that if the Sub-Treasury Bill was once brought up in thn Ilimso for discussion, the business could not bo finished on the Dili inst. ; but if it were not, it would ho easily got through, for the Treasury Note Bill would not givo rise to a lengthened discussion. This measure is still before the Senate, Mr. Calhoun has Iho floor for to-morrow, and we will doubtless hear of his plan in all its length and breadth. Y. L. Wasiiinoton, Oct. 3, 10,17. The Mississippi Election esse was decided this morning In favor of tho claims of Messrs. Gholson and Claiborne: to their seats, for the wholo term of Iho present Congress. Tho vote was I in to mi. it wouiu do iicuer, alter so small a majority has boon obuilnod in favor of the legality of tho election, for those gentlemen to resign voluntarily, and mako another appeal to their constituents. It is understood that thnlr opponents in Iho Into election, aro now canvass. ing against them for tho regular election, which usually takes place in November. But as the House is the fin.d Judgo of the qualifications of its own members, nud has given its verdict for Messrs. Gholson and Clairornk, tho matter ought lo be considered as settled. The Senate, after on animated discussion to day, onlored the Sub-Treasury Uill to bo engrossed and rinul a third lime, by a vote of 2.1 to S.'l a majority of two only! This ia no grent proof of the strength of the Sub-Treasury party. Mr. Calhoun so modified tho section which h been uppt'iulud by him, us to require the banks, whose notes should be mode receivable in pay ment of public dues, to receive the Treasury notes on deposits, at par. This tceUofl Was) carried by a majority of one. The amendment offered by Mr. Rives, which was to tubttitut for the hill the Revenue bill he introduced at tho last session, was rejected; and the amendment of Mr. Preston, authorizing the public revenua to be made special deposites in certain Stato Banks, shared the same fate. A very interesting debate took place during the first part of the sitting, between Mr. Catv houn and Mr. Webster. The former, I thought, treated his distinguished opponents with great discourtesy, in stigmatising their reasonings is) "a rabble of arguments, and the plain, uninv passioned.and decorous speech of Mr. Webster, as "denunciation." Mr. Wkbste very properly replied, that there were two views always of such a matter; a man might use denunciation in reply to an argument and a man might also) receive an argument, and try to get rid of it by calling it "denunciation." He said moat truly, he had spoken of Mr, Calhoun and hu opinion with perfect respect, but he did certainly express his astonishment that a gentleman so distill guished, for whose opinions and character itt had entertained such a regard, should be found where he now ia, back aoain to the old cosh tinental money. Mr. Webster- controverted the notions of Mr. Calhoun about the effects of the Banking system on the free institutions, Uin labor and business, and the moral and intellect' ual advancement of the country; and dosoribedr the South Carol inn Senator's character exactly, when he said ho was by far too general. He generalizes so much os to deprive himself of all ' power of practical application. Mr BuchanaM replied briefly to Mr. Webster. Th bill will come up for final action to-morrow. Y. L. Washinoto, Oct, i, ifafi A N ational Bank hat arrain heen (be util(. of debate in the IIoubo of Representatives. The resolution reported, some time ago, by the Committee of Ways and Means, against the expediency of such an institution, was taken up; and m- s; . c 11 i i i . ' , . uwwmhi, ui i einisyivania, naving Deem frequently interrupted, in the course of his speech, by the call for tho ordors of tho day, moved a reference of the subject to the Committee of the Wholo, where no special orders oan interpose to prevent discussion, and where that political axe, the Provioua Question, cannot ba applied. Mr. Adams supported the motion in a speech of grent vivacity and force. He said the Committee had reported a resolution of ncgativo character, without reading the oelitiona and memorials that had been referred to them. nnd without giving a solitary reason for the decision to which they had como. He took occasion to allude to a call made yesterday nport him by Mr. Cambreleno "to toe the mark!" and declared that the mark of that gentleman and his friends was so crooked, that he ecroM notcome to it it was so much like an old Virginia fence, that he eould not toe it. He attacked the measures of the Administration with great vigor and effect. Mr. Cambreleno replied with amusing warmth talking in the true Loco-Foco, Agrarian style of the currency, and protesting sgaiost the motion. Mr. Wise advocated the motion: and afW some remards from Mr. Glascoce, of Georgia, tho debate was cut off by a call for the orders of the day. I he House then went into Committee of (he) Wholo on the Treasury Note Bill. Mr. Biddlsj mado on able speech in opposition to the aiees-ure. He was followed by Mr. Robertson, on the same side. Tho tpeochea of those gentlemen occupied the greater portion of ths sitting; and after tho consideration of sundry amendments, which were successively rejected, the Committee rose and reported the bill to the House ahout halt past eitrht. The Sub-Treasury Bill has passed rm Senate. The experimenters' and looilsmen for no others supported the measure obtained a majority of n the vote standing 36 to SO. uui mere were nve senators aiisent (probubly not expecting the vote to be taken,) who would have voted against the bill. Mr. Clay, of Alabama, made hit dbnt m day in support of the measure; and a more miserable melange of stump declamation, refuted charges, and stale calumnies, the half dozen per-sons who graced the galleries never listened to. This person is, in every respect, the great eon trast of the illustrious statesman whose name he bears. He is one of those beings who repeat with complacency, assertions that have been disproved over and over again, and yet "lay the flattering unction to their souls" that the? art . i f ...:, !. . urui'Mf.- i win nut iniuci upon your rearers the trash this Senator poured out on the anbirr-t of the currency, the Bank of the United States, &c. be. All the froth snd foam that have been Eoured forth from the shallow heads and little earls upon this subject, seemed concentrated in the important mixture which the honorable Senator imagines was a Philippic He had ant evon the poor merit of originality his story has been told a thousand times before, and will be a thousand times again: -rKiuni tin itauaa&a annus Ilk iosn lbs firsts' Before Ihe day was over, however, he was taken down from his high horse very unceremoniously, by a Senator who did him too much honor in noticing his wretched ebullitions at til Daniel Webster. In the course of his excursions ihs man absolutely referred, in the Senate of the LI. Stales, to the old calumny of a distinguished person hsving said "there were no Sundays in revolutionary limes." I presume tliore was not one present who did not feel that the application wasdircclly made to Mr. Weustee. Foroue, I nevor heard the charge made against any other person. He took it lo himself: and after the Alhamian took his scat, Mr. WsasTEa rose, and in the coolest mannor imaginable referred lo the notice that had been taken of him, in allusion to a piece of pure mcandul. Mr. Clay Immediately rose, and denied that he nad made any reference to Mr. Webster he had alluded to another gentleman. My friend from Pennsylvania then, in the other House! asked Mr. Veb-ster, (meaning Mr. Binney.) He then proceeded to say that he had never heard the oharga applied to anyono but himself; and he declared that the story, wherever it originated, so far as it meant to impute to hint the expression of snob, a sentiment, was rALsa, auANPAkoi'a, AND C l.ltMNIOI'S. Mr. ('lay (of .llubama, remember!) received this disclaimer, and admitted his error and here it was thought the conversation upon thia affair would end. But no: more followed. Mr. Soutiiaro mado an able speech against tho Divorce Hill and assailed ths Administration's iinnnciul policy with great energy and im-pressivenoss. When ho hsd finished, and the question was about to be taken, up rose Mr. Clay (of Alabama. I say again let none of your readers confound him with the Clay,) and rend from N ties' Register, a portion of some remarks of Mr. Wcbstor, in which he described with characteristic power, tho stato of feeling in Baltimore, at the period referred to; and laid that a member of the Presbyterian Church had addressed him on the Sunday, and told him he was a member of that Church, and that he (Mr, VV.) might bo surprised to And him among the assemblage on that day but he (the member of the Cliureb alluded to,) remembered (here were no Sundays iii revolutionary limes. 1 Mr. Wsrstes replied to this, very briefly, that neither honor Ins friend (Mr. Binney) hsd made use of the expression charged upon Uieiii, This was all he had to say Mr. Clay (of JraAomahe certainly sboul;! have his name altered,) (aid that he did not sup I'ose Mr. Webster meant to charge him with lulsehood and calumny.
