But it most worthy of notice and reflection that in Maryland, Georgia and Ohio, these particular features were tingulsbingly characteristic of the genera) spirit of Whioism. i In Ohio, for instance, the iniquitous prac-' i tice of Gerrymandering had its origin with the Locofocos, and to the honor of the Whigs, be it remembered, has never been fol- lowed up by them when they had the power, in spite of the provocations that were given (a practice anti-republican, anti-American, congenial only to the corruptest system of the most corrupt States of Europe) has been most decisively rebuked. There, too, the hostility to sound Banking system, and consequently to the trade and business of the State and the country, which was displayed by the majority of the Legislature, in con formity to tho course and recommendation of those destructives, Allew andTAPPAN, in the United States Senate, has been most emphatically condemned. In Maryland, the loaal objects were most dear to every Whig heart we refer particularly to the preservation of her public fuith and her pecuniary interests, and the comple. tion of her great canal.

In Georgia, likewise, the cause of the Whigs was tho Slate cause, wherever local questions were considered. In each of these States, however, although the truly conservative spirit of Whijjism triumphed in their merely local questions, nnd although, in regard to them alone there is abundant cause for congratulation, the importance of the victory in a sational point of view is so much greater, that every consideration of State success is overshadowed by its superior consequence. The advocates of a National Bank have conquored the supporters of the thrice condemned Sub-Treas. ury and maintained it to be the choice of the people against all other expedients and experiments, whether tried or "untried." The friends of the present Whig Tariff have been victorious in fair contests, after the fullest discussion, over those who would uphold the pretences about "Free Trade" and the inconvenient, and unequal, and hateful system of Direct Taxation. The supporters of the comprehensive and patriotic policy of distributing the proceeds of the public lands among the States, have succeeded over those who would keep the public domiiin as an unfailing resource for executive corruption, and the private peculations of the government's favorites, and other purposes, equally opposed to the objects of those who made the deeds of cession, and what ought to be the true ends of an equitable and enlightened administration.

Finally, in each and all of these States, the battle has been fought end won, under the banner of Henry Clay. His name was the rallying cry in all the preparatory movements of the Whigs; in the heat of the contest; and, now in the hour of viclo ry, it is hailed gratefully as the sign under which the victory came. Read the following from the "Chronicle," published at Augusta, the home of John McPherson Berrien, and see the spirit which actuated the Whigs of Georgia. It is the same spirit that prevailed in Maryland and Ohio. From the Augusta (Geo.) Cllronfcle.

VICTORY! All hail, Georgia! A Whig Governor, two Members of Congress, and both Branches of the Legislature Whig, by teidmphant majorities. As we anticipated a few days since, we have now the unalloyed pleasure of announcing a most glorious triumph of the Whigs of Georgia. They have routed Locofocoism throughout the length and breadth of the State. From the seaboard to the mountains, the returns proclaim the triumph of the Whig cause the election of Whiii members of Congress, and majorities in both branches of the Legislature tne nrst Legislature under the amended Constitution, which preiicribcs biennial sessions. It is therefore, a most important victory, and one involving, in an emi nent degree, tne ntgnest interests oi tne oiate, both in its local and national relations.

Gratifying as is this triumph to us when we regard it for its influences upon our local affairs, it dwindles into comparative insignificance when associated with our national politics. It is not the mere triumph of a political party in a State based upon local questions, but it is the triumph of principles of Whig principles of the principles of the great Whig party of the Union it is the triumph of a National Bank, and the advocates of a sound currency a Tariff for revenue over direct taxation and the Loeofoco humbug of "free trade, a distribution of tho public lands and, above all, it is a triumph which proclaims to the world, trumpet tougued, in terms which admit of no ambiguity, that Georgia has unfurled her banner to the breeze with the name of HENRY CLAY, "the Farmer of Ashland the unrivalled Statesman and Orator," inscribed upon its folds. It is thus that we must contemplate this great triumph of the Whigs of Georgia, to appreciate its importance in nil its bearings upon the great questions of the day. We glory in it also, because it has afforded the Whigs of Georgia an opportunity to wipe off the foul insinuation which had been cast upon the fair fame of their State, that she would attach herself to the car of Calhoun; and most nobly have they vindicated her reputation. Henceforth, therefore.

Van Burcnism, Cal-hounism and Locofocoism, under whatever leader, in Georgia is prostrate, and wc now enter Georgia in the great contest of 1844, for the National Whig Banner. In a contest where all have performed so nobly the high duty which devolved upon them, it would be invidious to make distinctions; and while we omit to bestow particular praise upon any particular section or county, we trust we may be permitted, in the name of the Whig parly of Georgia, and in behalf of the great principles for which they are contending, (among which stands prominent and pre-eminent a National Bank.) to give to the true-hearted, noble sons of the Cherokee rnnntrv. the riulit hand of Whiz fellowship, and greet them most cordially as members of the great Whig family of the nation. It is impossible to estimate our majority, so unrivalled is the popularity of our cause and our principles. For and members of Congress, it is certain, however, that we have elected both by a majority of thousands, and have a majority in the Legislature of 40 to 60 on joint ballot.

It irotiid, therefore, to be due 'llikc to interests of the big party and those of the country, that either Col. Foster or myself should decline an election; but as Col.

foster was driven from a scat in the Senate of the United States under circumstances, which would in the case of any man, and much more in that of one who like Col. Foster may justjy claim to have rendereddis-'inguished and important services to his party, cause it to be a point of personal pride and ambition to lie restored, and as it is evidently the general wish of yourselves and of the Whigs of the State lualne shall be chosen, I do nt hesitate to make a sacrifice of any pretensions i may bave, and to relieve the Whigs of the Legislature, so far as I am concerned, of all embarrassment in settling the claims, either personal or sectional, to the vacant stations. I am, gentlemen, with sincere respect, Your ob't servant, JOHN BELL. To Messrs. John Trimble, Moore, Yancy Bledsoe, 8tc Nashville, Oct.

15, 1843. Robertson Topp, Esq. Dear Sir: We, the undersigned, whig members of the Legislature, representing their brethren and fellow citizens of the Western Division of tho State, desire to manifest their confidence in your talents and your political worth and integrity. They believe that the peculiar interest of the West at this time, would be eminently promoted and advanced by the services of a Senator in Con gress from that Division, whilst they are sure that tho interest of the State at large wo'uld befequally well protected. Governed by these considerations and being desirous to prepare themselves for an approaching decision, they wish to know, if you will give your consent, to the use of your name before the General Assembly for the office of Senator in the Congress of the United States.

E. JORDON. Nashville, Oct. 14, 1843. Gentlemen: I have this morning received your letter of the 13th inst, requesting the liltfrty to present my name as a candidate the office of Senator in tho Congress of the United States, before the General Assem bly of Tennessee.

For a quarter of a century the citizens of the Western division of the State, have seen all theshigh offices of either trust or profit, within the gift of the Legislature, pass into the hands of others, without complaint. Very justly, our fellow citizens have thought they might claim at this time, as a long deferred right, the selection of a Sena tor from the West particularly as they feel a deep solicitude fpr the- promotion of the peculiar interest to which you have alluded. TJie most casual observer, cannot but have perceived a fixed determination, by many members of the present General Assembly to fill one of the vacant seats In the Senate of the United Slates with a distinguished citizen this city, and at the same time to concede to the Eastern Division of the State the choice of the other, rather than incur a collision with ancient usages, or risk disturbing the harmony of the Whig party at the present crisis. We are entreated by many patriotic citizens, who (whilst they ngree with us in denying that either of the other grand divisions of the State have a prescriptive right to fill all the high offices within the gift of the Legislature) think the present an inauspicious moment to raise that question. It is grgvely contended, that, to interru.pt a practice coeval with the existence of the State, would prove disastrous to the party 7 and those who thinlf so, implore us to waive a discussion fraught with much danger.

The journals of Legislation but too faithfully prove we are no strangers to that draft. It remains for you to show to the people of the State that you are competent to the task of honoring it. The power to bestow the office of Senator, bytheWhig members of the Legislature of Tennessee, is the result of a recent great and glorious contest throughout the State. In that conflict, no rivers or mountains separntedus, or sectional jealousies divided us. Every Whig shout of triumph from the East, was echoed back with increased zeal and pleasure from the West.

I am confident, I express tho sentiments of the people of the West, and the whole State, whatil say, they will consider themselves ill-requited, for the glory of that triumph, if by any improper means on the high road to a still greater triumpn wc snau uavn about office, in a manner calculated to engen-derlliscor'd and disunion in our ranks. "From the bottom of my heart, I thank you gentlemen representatives my immediate neighbors and friends for this distinguished mark of your regard and confidence, and for the reasons indicated, must ask, you will not present my name nsjx candidate for Senator. Very respectfully, Your ob't serv't" ROBERTSON TOPP. To Messrs. John W.
