POLITICS OF THE DAY.
FROM THE RICHMOND WHIU OF AUGUST 18.
SOMETHING PORTENTOUS!
Our attention was arrested, on opening the last
Washington Union, by an editorial commencing in
these startling words:
11 \yq have received some information from a Democratic
friend which we think it our duty to lay before the Demo-
cratic party. We confess it has somewhat surprised and ex-
cited us. It will arouse the attention and is calculated to
awaken the energies of every friend of the party.”
What is now in the wind, thought we? What
new plot has been discovered ? What lurking trea-
son detected? We confess, however, that our ap-
prehensions in regard to the awful character of the
forthcoming developments were somewhat allayed
by the intimation that the safety of the country
was not at stake, but that the continued ascendency
of “the party” only was thought to be endanger-
ed. We therefore proceeded, with entire compo-
sure, to acquaint ourselves with the revelations which
had so much “ surprised and excited ” the editor oi
the Executive organ ; and we now proceed to lay
them before our readers, who will doubtless parti-
cipate in that editor’s astonishment at the impudence
of the Whigs in daring to disseminate among the
people the powerful and unanswered arguments in
favor of the system of national policy of which they
are the supporters ! The Union says :
“We are informed that there is a Whig organization in
full operation in this city. It is stated that the Whig mem-
bers of Congress, before the late session adjourned, appointed
a standing committee, whose duty it should be to frank and
circulate documents throughout the country, and especially in
those debatable States whose elections are coming on during
the present autumn. We are informed that they have rented
a room on Pennsylvania avenue nearly oppposite Jackson
Hall. They have raised a common—perhaps not inconside-
rable—fund for printing off, several thousands of documents ;
the estimate is said to be from 150,000 to 200,000. Among
these is the Tariff speech of Mr. Andrew Stewart, of Pennsyl-
vania, with the imprint of a “ revised edition, ” and Mr. Dan-
iel Webster’s speech on the tariff. The tariff is to be the prin-
cipal topic by which the Whigs expect to revolutionize the
people : and the speeches delivered before Congress are the
nrincipal weapons to be employed. 1 he documents, when
printed, are sent to the folding room of the House of Repre-
sentatives, &c., where they are regularly enveloped by the
folders appointed for the House, and with wrapping paper pre-
pared and paid for by Congress ; thence they are carried to
the room of the committee, where they are franked by one oi
its members. This organization is similar to the Whig scheme
of 1844. Some one member of the committee comes to Wash-
ington to ply his franking privilege upon a large scale, and to
flood the country with party documents. When an election
is coming on in a particular State, the battery is most proba-
bly actively directed to that point. Pennsylvania is now the
great battle ground ; and we presume no exertions are to be
spared to operate upon her people. The tariff arguments are
to be poured in upon her, and, of consequence, she is to be
inundated with the speeches of its champions. We under-
stand that Mr. Ramsey, a member of the House of Represen-
tatives from Pennsylvania, is now at his post, franking away
in high style, and firing his canister shot in ail directions.”
The facts embodied in the foregoing statement
are no doubt somewhat exaggerated by the fears or
the fancy of the narrator. But, admitting it to be
literally true, what just cause of complaint exists
against the Whig party,, or against those public- spi-
rited individuals of that party, who choose to de-
scarcely an exception, of every prominent name in
the Locofoco ranks, including those of Jackson,
Buchanan, Van Buren, Calhoun, and Benton, they
are to be stigmatized as “Federalists,” be it so.
They are not to be deterred by the application to
them of a perverted epithet, which has lost by the
abuse of it much of its former odium, from the advo-
cacy of a policy which, in former times, received
the sanction of the Republican party.
The Whigs of 1846 are contented to disregard
the attempt “to render them unpopular, by the use
of an inapplicable epithet, while they occupy the
ground upon which the old Republican party stood ;
and they may well contest the right of the Modern
Progressive Democracy to throw over its shoulders
the mantles of men, and to speak in their name,
whose principles they have openly repudiated and
abandoned.

vote their time to the dissemination among the peo-
ple of facts and arguments elucidating the true char-
acter and effects of the revenue system overthrown
by the Administration, and shadowing forth the an-
ticipated effects of that which, by a most extraordi-
nary concurrence in its adoption of “ not a few”
who were opposed to it, is soon to go into opera'
tion ? Is it a “ new thing under the sun” for mem-
bers of Congress to use their franking privilege for
the circulation of documents and speeches among
the people ? We had supposed that it was an eve
ry day practice ; and certain it is we have seen and
heard of a vast number of such pamphlets in circu-
lation in all this region, under the franks of Loco-
foco members, and which were doubtless “ envel-
oped by the folders appointed for the Houao, and
Wl til wrap ping, paper prepared and paid for by Con-
gress.” Whether “ a committee” has been appoint
ed by the Whig members of Congress, as alleged
to superintend the circulation of the documents re-
ferred to, we do not know. We have never heard
of the organization of such a committee, though it
is altogether unobjectionable, if the fact be so. At
all events, there is an illustrious precedent for such
a course, furnished by our opponents. In 1844 a
Locofoco committee, of which the present Secreta-
ry of the Treasury was the chief of the Southern
Department, remained in Washington several
months for the express purpose of franking election-
eering papers throughout the Union. We hope,
however, that if there be a similar Whig committee
now in existence, they will not resort to the decep-
tive course of preparing one set of documents for
the Northern and another for the Southern market;
that they will not send a paper to the South, for ex-
ample, as Secretary Walker did, denouncing the
Black Tariff of 1842, while Mr. Bidlack sent the
same document to Pennsylvania with that denun-
ciation of the tariff of 1842 carefully expunged!
Let them frank as many documents as they please,
but let them be honest documents—not Locofoco
“ Roorbacks !”
Nor is it very extraordinary that Mr. Ramsey, a
distinguished Pennsylvania Whig, should exhibit
some anxiety to disabuse the minds of the people
of that State of the false impressions instilled into
them by the base artifices resorted to during the
Presidential campaign of 1844, among which that
above adverted to was not the least paltry and con-
temptible—especially when we regard the elevated
positions of the men engaged in it. The necessity
of circulating among the people of Pennsylvania
now, on the eve of an election, correct information,
on a question in which they are specially interest-
ed, is more apparent too when well-founded sus-
picions are afloat that the deceptive arts of 1844
are to be repeated in 1846 ; when intimations, be-
lieved to be instigated by some of the same men
who deceived the people of that State in 1844, are
now artfully thrown out, and not contradicted,
that at the next session of Congress Secretary Wal-
ker will himself recommend an increase of the du-
ties upon coal and iron, in regard to which the peo-
ple of that State are known to feel an especial
interest.
Besides, if the Locofoco members ol Congress
appointed no committee, they doubtless failed to
do so because they were aware that there is already
an organized association in Washington, which
meets frequently at the building erected by Blair &
Rives, from their enormous share of the “ spoils,”
and lately dedicated as “Jackson Hall,” to which
they might safely confide the interests of “ the
party ” in their absence.
The Union, after giving the foregoing narrative,
goes on to say :
“If these statements be true—and we should not notice
tfieni but from confidence in our inlormant what does it show
but a sleepless vigilance and an indomitable perseverance on
the part of the Whigs ; an active organization and a strong de-
termination to * repeal ’ the tariff of 1846 ; to operate upon all
the elections to carry the next Congress, if they can ; to car-
ry the next President, if they can ; to prostrate the Demo-
cratic party, and to plant the i ederal standard upon the bat-
tlements of the constitution ?”
We can assure the Union that the Whigs intend
to do all that is here charged, except the latter teat,
for the accomplishment of which not the slightest
effort is necessary; “ the Federal standard” already
waving from the aforesaid “battlements.” The
Whigs intend to adhere to the principles upon which
the Government was administered in its earlier and
purer days. On “ the great question of the age,” as
the Union so frequently styles the Tariff, they stand
upon the same platform with Washington, Jeffer-
son, Madison, and Monroe. If, while contending
for measures and doctrines sanctioned by the au-
thority of these “ fathers of the Republican Church,”

New York, August 31, 1846.
We have experienced a great change ot the weather in a
few days. This day is clear and extremely hot.
Within the last three weeks several of our oldest and most
respectable citizens have died. This morning the Hon. Wai-
ter Bowse departed this life. Mr. Bowse in his day was
a leading politician. He has filled various offices under both
the General and State Governments, and was a warm advo-
cate of the dominant party.
The Collector is much embarrassed with the Subtreasury
and the Warehouse bills. He has not, as I understand, re-
ceived full and complete instructions in relation to either of
these laws. He continues, in direct violation of the Subtrea-
sury law, to deposite the public money in banks, thereby in-
curring the penalty of the law. It is rio reply to this allega-
tion to say that the Subtreasurer, Mr. Bouck, was not here
to receive the deposite. It was Mr. Walker’s duty, before
he promulgated that law, and required the officers to carry
out its provisions, to have seen that either the Subtreasurer
or some other agent was at his post to take charge of the
money collected. This has not been done. Who is to
blame
But I have heard a reason assigned for Mr. Bouck’s ab-
lce. It may or may not be well founded. It is said that a
few days since Mr. Bouck had not received official notice of
his appointment. If this be true, it is a culpable omission in
some quarter of the Government. It it be not true, the pub-
lic have a right to know the reason why the Subtreasurer is
not at his post, and why the Collector is left in a situation
to act daily and hourly in open violation of the law. How
long is this state of things to continue ? And is this famed
law, at its very commencement, deemed of so little importance
that its provisions may be trampled under foot by a Collector,
or any other officer, with impunity ?
The Warehouse bill is causing great embarrassment, in con-
sequence of instructions from Washington, or the construc-
tion of the law by the Collector. Formerly goods might be
stored, without trouble, in any store of which the Collector
heid the key. Now the law is so construed that the Collec-
tor must hire the store, at the hazard of the Government, be-
fore it can be deemed a public store. Whether this is a
sound construction of the law, I give no opinion. It is sub-
jecting the merchants, however, to great inconvenience and
embarrassment.
The Vixen and Spitfire steamers, built for Mexico, and
subsequently purchased by the United States Government, left
this port on Saturday night—one for Vera Cruz, and the other
for Chagres ; the latter having on board Commodore Perry,
who goes out to the Pacific, it is said, to relieve Commodore
Sloat. Captain Sands commands the Vixen, and Captain
McIntosh the Spitfire.
One of our papers, printed in the western part of New
York, gives a small sample of Government economy. It
states that a number of wagons have been contracted for in
their neighborhood at ninety dollars each, while they can be
purchased by private individuals, single, at sixty dollars,
being at an advance of fifty per cent, upon their true mar-
ket value.
Upper Canada was organized as a separate and independent
Government, in 1792. It had then about ten thousand in-
liaunaius. ror twenty-five or thirty years the increase ot its
population was slow. But during the last twenty years the
increase has been rapid, insomuch that it is now estimated to
contain six hundred thousand inhabitants. The corner-stone
of a lunatic asylum has just been laid. The building is to
be 534 feet in length, and 266 feet in the wings. It is to be
three stories high above the basement, and built of brick
and stone.

Valuable Discovery.—The Buffalo Commercial learns
from a gentleman who has just returned from the Wisconsin river,
that, bordering on that river, about ten or fifteen miles north
of Helena, is antimony ore of the richest quality and in the
greatest abundance. The ore is as rich as the galena or lead
ore, and will yield about eighty-five per cent, pure antimony.
It is found just where the broad field of copper ore stretching
to the north and west crops out on the surface, and is as easily
raised as the lead ore. Furnaces for roasting the sulphur in
the ore, leaving the article in that state known as the crude
antimony of commerce, can be erected at an expense of about
two hundred and fifty dollars. When thus prepared it is worth
two or three times as much as lead.
Governor General of Canada.—The Montreal Gazette
announces upon authority that Lord Cathcart’s recall has been
received. The Gazette has no intimation as to his lordship s
probable successor. ___
The Government agent offers for sale, by auction, all the
machinery and implements heretofore used in deepening the
channel of the Mississippi on the Des Moines Rapids, and all
the Government property pertaining to the works at Racines.
The St. Louis Republican thinks this is but a commencement

Horrible Tragedy.—The neighborhood of Jefferson and
Fourth streets was thrown into great consternation, about 11
o’clock last night, by the murder ol a wife by her husband.
George W. Barlow, who keeps a boarding-house there, while
in a state of intoxication, walked into the dining-room, where
his wife was, and deliberately fired a pistol at her, the hall en-
tering her left side. Mrs B. ran towards the kitchen saying
“1 am shot,” and immediately fell and expired. Barlow has
been a drunkard for a number of years, and, as we learn, has
not been sober for the past four weeks. Mrs B. is represent-
ed, to us to have been a very estimable lady. Barlow was im-
mediately arrested, and is now confined in jail.—Journal.

a poor opinion of it. This was the case with me ; hut, after " ":------™ ----- m*ll>'
I had been amongst the people, and saw the manner in which
they lived, and how intelligent and refined they were, and,
above all, that they enacted and were governed by their own
laws, and when I considered that I was, for the first time in
my life, breathing a free atmosphere, and in a country where
the white man does not hold sway, and an individual, however
humble, if he qualifies himself, may attain to eminence and
distinction, I really felt surprised that I could have remained
contented so long in America.
I sincerely think that if the colored people of the United
States could only see what a fine country this is, and might
be made by a little exertion, their prejudices against the Coloni-
zation Society and the colony would be entirely removed. From
hearing the captain and sailors conversing concerning the ma-
lignity of the African fever, and of the many deaths that had
been occasioned by it, I was frequently discouraged, for it
seemed almost certain death for a person to stop on shore even
for one night. I have conversed with several of the colonial
physicians upon the subject. They inform me that the change
from the temperate to the torrid zone is so great that most peo-
ple coming here necessarily have to pass through the acclima-
ting process ; but there is not the least danger to be appre-
hended from it, providing you take care of yourself; if you
get wet, change your clothes as soon as possible, and not ex-
pose yourself to the night dews. They say that it has a great
resemblance to the fever and ague that you have in the Uni-
ted States, only that it is not half so severe. On the first set-
tlement of this country a great many died ; hut this was ow-
ing no doubt more to the suffering they experienced in their
passage, by being too much crowded while on shipboard, and
living upon the coarsest food, and their going down into the
other settlements, where there had been no accommodations
provided for them. There are persons that have been here
eighteen or twenty years, and have never been afflicted in the
least by the fever ; so you see that it is greatly exaggerated.
The colony is about declaring its independence.
This is their rainy or winter reason. It generally con-
tinues three months, seldom raining except in the night. Mr.
Roye has taken a store, and will soon commence business.
Monrovia, June 27, 1846.
This is really a beautiful country. From the situation of
this place it might be supposed to suffer from intense heat du-
ring at least one-half the year ; but this is provided against by
the sea breeze, which blows with great regularity, and re-
freshes what would otherwise prove a sultiy and oppressive
climate. The thermometer seldom ranges above 90 degrees ;
the air is temperate in the day time, and the nights are cool.
The same clothing is worn here that is worn in the United
States, flannels not excepted. The population of Monrovia
is estimated at one thousand. The wealthier and more^ re-
spectable portion of the community are engaged in trade. The
natives bring them palm oil, camwood, and ivory, and they
receive goods in return. If the people here only had the
Yankee enterprise and industry, they might make this one of
the richest and most beautiful countries in the world. Vessels
come here from all parts of the world for the purpose of
traffic. They trade with the natives up and down the coast,
and in a few years the captains of them become indepen-
dently rich. ...

Important Discovery—Instantaneous stopping of a
Railway Train.—The experiment took place in the Rue
Chassse d’Antin, on a model railway constructed for the pur-
pose. The inventor is an engineer named Alexandre. A
model train was let off at different rates of speed, from fifteen
or twenty leagues an hour, down a very inclined plane, and
yet, notwithstanding these circumstances, the train was check-
ed without the slightest commotion. The break is worked by
the conductor of the last carriage, by which means the whole
of the carriages, instead of striking each other, have a tenden-
cy to retreat. As soon as the breaks of the last carriage have
taken their position, those of every other carriage in the train
act instantaneously , and, by another admirable contrivance,
the locomotive can, even at the greatest rate of speed, be de-
tached from the train. This is not all. The very act of sep-
arating the locomotive provides against accident from its run-
ning too far forward; for, as soon as it has reached a suffi-
cient distance from the train, say from fifty to one hundred
yards, it stops. The inventor estimates the expense of adopt-
ing his apparatus at a thousand francs for each carriage. A
commission, appointed by the Government, have witnessed,
and, it is said, approved of the experiments.

4 SMALL BUT DESIRABLE FARM FOR SALE,
situate a little below the junction of the old Leesburg;
road and the Middle Turnpike, about 4i miles northwest ot
Alexandria, containing between 80 and 84 acres. _
The western part of this tract, for nearly a half mile, binds
on the Leesburg road, the eastern portion on the Middle 1 urn-
pike. This land, like the surrounding country, is not only
very elevated, but remarkably level, commanding during the
seared leaf of autumn the finest view of Alexandria, the heights
of Maryland, and the Potomac river.
About twenty-five acres are cleared at the west end, on
which there is an old dwelling-house, and also out-houses, all
in a dilapidated state, with a well (it is said) of the best water,
and the place unsurpassed in point ol health. 1 his part is te-
nacious soil, and admirably calculated for meadow. 1 he east
end is partly clay, partly' gravel; intermediately there are about
thirty acres in young growth, the balance cleared. An open-
ing made through these woods, from the western to the eastern
nortions of t Ilf ffiTnaa,. wnnLI o H-.'w t l... iii.o.a i I .1 sj
landscape. The centre of the tract (which in shape is. nearly
an oblong) presents a most desirable spot for the erection ot a
dwelling, the same being but about a quarter ot a mile south of
the Middle Turnpike, and gradually inclining eastwardly to a
deep ravine, running in a southeast direction._
From this spot the view is magnificent, in the emphatic
sense of the word. To a gentleman ol taste and fortune, it
offers (for a summer residence) every inducement, being an
easy drive of only one hour at the most from YVashington,
Georgetown, or Alexandria ; and to a market-man every advan-
tageand facility which health, an improvable soil, and contiguity
to three markets can afford. Thispartof Fairfax is rapidly im-
proving, and will continue to improve ; and more especially in
this immediate neighborhood, where the Middle Turnpike,
the Columbia Turnpike, and the Leesburg road all intersect,
the last named a good and most beautiful summer road, the
other two the very best turnpikes through all seasons ot the
year, with unusually moderate tolls. Those who wish to pur-
chase will come ; those who desire only a delightful ride are in-
vited to come.
