THE ELECTIONS.

We were aided in this by an intelligent friend, and hoped that this year we lad got them correct, as we had unintention- 109 against it. Norfh Carolina gave 7 votes for and 4 against ifv EC? The name of S. W. Gotten, of Chatham, was inadvertently omitted in the list of Delegates to the Convention on the 9th inst.

Now that bill is passed, there can oe iouna nui twenfytwo "whigs" fraud attempted to be committed by the Governor of New Jersey, by returning, under his seal, "whig" members to Congress, that had not been electedby the people- Will not this transaction open the eyes of the people to the base desjgns of the opposition designs qutie consistent with their principles, which deny to the people the capacity as well as the right to govern GOOD NEWS FROM LOUISIANA!

The reckless faction opposed to- the present Administration, among the thousand falsehoods brought forth against it, have charged Mr. Van Buren with- extravagance iq regard to the furniture of The President's House at Washington. Though Mr, Van Buren has been acquitted by some of their own party, who had a correct knowledge of the subject, and honor enough to-aVow their sentimeots, a profligate Federal regardless of these evidences, persevere in the calumny. Read" the following from the proceedings of the present Congress. "He, (Mr.

Lincoln,) was no friend of Mr. Van Buren, but he would do him the justice to sav, if there was any thing wrong in relation to the furniture of the White House, the Preside'n was not to blame for it. the -contrary; he (Mr. knew his great delicacy on the subject, and would assurethe gentlemen that, whenever the committee had consulted the President in relation io any ad-ditionalJumHure. he INVARIABLY EXPRES-EDHfS RELUCTANCE TO HAVE ANY THING EXPENDED FOR THAT OBJECT.

He (Mr. Would. state, from his own knowledge, that not a single article of furniture supplied during the last three years, had been supplied at the request of tlte President. The committee alone were answerable, and they would assume the responsibility. But so far was the President from desiring any additions made to the furniture, that, about two years ago; it actually became necessary for himself and the other members of the committee to do what he had never done before, nor would he ever do it again.

Did gentlemen wish to know what that, was He would tell them. It was to go through every room in another man's bouse, to see how much furniture, he wanted, and what conveniences were required. He hoped that gentlemen would take notice of this fact, and remember it whenever they attempted to cast censure on the President in relation to bis furniture." This is the language of Governor, Lincoln, a leading Whig" member of Congressa gentleman distinguished not less for his love of simplicity and economy in the public expenditure, than for his adherence to truth and candor. litical capital out of it. How he and his friends ally committed errors before in this particular.

The public recollect that on the earliest occasion, when this matter was brought up in the House by the Democrats, to hasten it to a desirable result, in correcting or changing the law of evidence as decided by the courts a thing not in the power of the Executive Mr. Botts was out of the way, and his friend, Mr. Wise, who was left to mind it, undertook to play the game of stave off, to enable his Southern comrades to escape the responsibility of severing from, and exposing to the South the Abolition Harrisonites on this delicate subject. It will be recollected that hep Mr.BoTrs came back, and it was urged to commit it instantly to the Judiciary Committee for a report, to enable the House promptly to effect what those interested against decision of the navy court wished, the very mover of this reform for the South, moved to lay the subject upon the table, like an Aboli National Bank, and drive Mr. Van Buren and the Democratic Party out of power.

All the "hard cider" of the whiggery cannot wash oot the foul slain Harrison has fixed upon his own character. t-Hurra for Tip and Ty," will hardly erase the record for truth.

"Gen. Harrison, dissatis6ed with the distrust which Mr. Madison's Secretary of War felt and evinced towards him, asked permission to retire for THE MILITIA ORGANIZATION. Although he report of Mr. Poinsett was neither approved by Mr.

Van Buren nor adopted by his party, yet the "whigs" have the audacity. not ordy io charge this, but to misrepresent the system itself. They complain that, by Mr. Poinsett's plan, the militia were required to arm themselves, ex a while from active service in the army, and repair home. His request was very readily complied with; and he retired to Cincinnati, in October 1813.

Washington 7lh July, 1840. Mr. Loring The work goes bravely on. The Navy Appropriation Bill passed the House this day, by a call for the previous question, to which we are obliged to resort in every case. So determined are the Bank Federal Whigs that nothing shall be done for the people, that they can prevent, that no measure having he least good in view, can now pass without the screws of the previous question.

The Army Bill is the only one now of much importance, upon which they have a chance to array the House. The Bankrupt Bill was yesterday, on motion of Mr. Pickens, laid upon the table, by NOTICE. Will be sold at the Court House djor, in Wiltatirtoji. on the 14th day of September hext, the following tracts of LAND and Town LOTS, or so much thereot as will be sufficient pay the Taxes due thereon for the years 1838, 1837, and 183fi.

LAUDS. ported a bill which required every man subject to militia duty, without the exception oj any class, to do the same thing! But Gen. Harrison not only proposed to pay the officers and not the men, but his law distinctly provides for subjecting the militia to the rides and articles of tear in time of peace. With what justice can the "whigs" raise the outcry against the Secretary of war But'-lice is a. principle with which they have as little to do as with truth.

We beg our readers to examine the following table of expenses for Harrison's plan, and which the whiggery -declares to be all eight The number of boys who niighl be annually under the control of officers appointed by the United States, may be safely assumed at 1,500,000. The number of schools to be established so as to include all the youth, taking the data of 9,718 now in New York, as the one-fifth part for the whole Union, would be not less than 50,000. If wesuppose each instructor to be appointed by the United States would be placed in charge of two schools, the number of instructors would then be 25,000. Able instructers, qualified for the business, could not be had for less than $500 each, per annum, which would require a sum e-qual to 12,500,000 Contingent expenses for each school, annuall such as arms, The humbug of Log Cabins and hard Cider is Where situated.
