It seems now to be reduced to a cer tainty, says the Petersburg Intelligencer of May 4th, that the whigs have at least a majority of four (it may probably reach six) on joint ballot in the next legislature.

There will be a bona fide whig majority, says that paper, pure from every taint of impracticability, and prepared to do their duty to lheir country without stopping to discuss the silly abstractions which have brought much deserved ridicule on Virginia legislation. For Congress, the whigs hava elected ten members, aJtd the locofocos ten. R. M. T.

"Earth to earth and du.st to dust:" Died, In Chatham county, on the 29th of April, of dropsy of the chest, Joseph Joh Alston, senior, in the 75th year of his age. The deceased was a man of the most exemplary character, remarkable for virtue and probity, an honest man the noblest work of God." By the death of this truly good man, a large family is left disconsolate; a wife who refuses to be comforted but by the assurance of his reward in endless blit.s; nor are hpr tears shed alone, but commingled in one accord by children, friends and servant, who know him as the best of parents, a most beneficient neighbor, and the kindest of masters. Possessing the highest degree th quality of government without rigor, commaid without austerity, and beneficence without arrogance, occupying in society, an exalted station, all who knew him loved him and approached him without feelings of humility bu. feelings of confident friendship. In bin family there existed a filial devotion rarely to be met with the anticipation of hie will was sufficient to ensure its execution.

He in gone, hut never can be forgotten. Lamented while the generous bwom is capable of noble impulse, his grave shall be watered and the sod kept green by the tears of affection. Ye disconsolate family who knew his virtues and have the strong assurance of his reward, grieve not but rather rejoice that hi3 is but the transition from gloom to glory. Com.

We have nothing to say concerning the above "good news from Guilford," except to call the notirc of our fellow citizens to the magnificent compliment to their intelligence oficred by the Standard man he says the people have long been blinded and cheated by a gang of half-cirilizcd lawyers and other demagogues."

TENT DEMOCRATIC ARTICLE- WARRAN TED NOT TO LIE. "We would also sug. gest the propriety of stamping the mak er's name upon the goods but that the customers would probably be puzzled to know which of the three or four of the same name was the real manufacturer. Besides, we reckon if they should hit up on the real Simon Pure, it would be a rather poor recommendation of the arti cle. Daniel Webster.

There is scarcely a word in the politi cal vocabulary which lias been so egrcgi ouslv bandied as Federalist.1' And no extraordinary depth of penetration is re 0 quired to perceive that (he meaning of frightful term i is-nol urider8tood---or, if understood, perverted by those 'who so lavishly apply it on all occasions. Its import is generally about as well appre. bended as that of the Ilollandic exclamation, dunder and blixen." Certain stump orators, street politicians and news, paper editors conceive that a persevering application of this epithet to a political opponent attaches to him an odium little less than a charge of high treason. Yet, stake all tbeir hopes of political inTroor-tality upon an explanation, and they will fail to tell you what constitutes a Federalist' in the party organizations of the present day. For the soul of them they can do no more than the honest man mentioned in a speech of Judge Gaston; they vaguely "allow it aint human" and there stick fast.

Tho opposition or Van Buren or Tom Benton or locofocopaity (hardly know which appellation to bestow now) have put all their wind-works in operation for the purpose of fixing odium upon the present Administration, through the magic of tho term Federalist. They have selected an exalted and a shining mark to shoot their missile at. Daniel Webster is a Federalist, they cry, with most horrible and hypocritical grimace. Such is the voice of the great Beast at Washington taken up and resounded bv all its echoes, the party editors and stump haranguers over the country. One of the ramifications of this universal democratic bellow reached our ears the other day, through the lips of Col.

Reid. Yes, r. Webaier has the exquisite mortification to be styled a "bluedight Federal-ist," by that aspiring sprig of modern democracy who seeks to represent our ninth district in the 27th Congress. And the patriotic and fastidious Colonel has the horror to find Mr. Sheppcrd check by jowl with the aforesaid Daniel the Fed.

eralist But what is the evidence what is the test, of this heinous but mysterious sin of Federalism? Opposition to the last war with Great Britain is satisfactory proof of any man's Federalism, in the view of our political opponents pro vided nevertheless, and always saving and excepting those numerous and flagrant cases where eminent Van Buren men were opposed to the war! Qh, no the veriest Artti-war Hartford Convention British Blue-light Federalist, who may have electioneered for Mr. Van Buren, and'' undergone purgation in some land office or fat collcctorship, is not a Feder-alist now, nor never has been This test of Federalism is one of those singular rules which will not work both ways. 'WThe charge of Federalism upon Mr. Webster is founded on the assumption that he was opposed to the last war. He was not in public life before the declaration of hostilities, but we dare say it is probable that he disapproved of the course of policy which led to that war.

What would the entertainment of similar sen. timcnts by Mr. Van Buren prove? Mr-Van Buren did that in a public official capacity which proved his disapprobation of the war he voted for the peaceandid-ate for the presidency. Was the late head of the vaunted Democratic party therefore a Federalist? Where you have only assumption against Mr. Webster, we bring proof against Mr.

Van Buren. But we despise these wretched endea- vers to VnruTsparks in the ashes of de- circumstance of any good citixens views of the last war, entertained thirty years ago, nas any-tbing ocanow witn xne in ternal politics tf the country. The hon and soundness of the opinions of numbers of eminent men opposed to the war, have since been sanctioned by the American people many of them having sine enjoyed the highest offices of trust and honor, it the hands of both, of all, parties. Mr. Webster was called into Congress after the declaration of hostilities, when the clang of arms and thunder of battle resounded over tbo land and the lakes and the sea.

Whatever might have been his previous opinions of the policy of war. no member exerted himself with a more willing mind or more efficient voice to secure the success of our arms and sus tain the honor of his country's flag. This portion of his public life has been most shamefully misrepresented. Predicated upon these false statements, slander and abuse have been heaped upon him with the untiring malignity of the party oppo sing him. Under these circumstances we think it due loRlr.

Webster that ev ery political paper in the South should publish a plain statement of his action in Congres's in relation to the war an arti cle originating in the New York Express We copy it this week and it will be followed in our next by anextract from his speech injhe same relation in reply to Mr. Calhoun, delivered in 1839. We would express our detestation of that envy and suspicion that can perceive no virtue and acknowledge no greatness beyond its own circumscribed limits; that allows no patriotism or political pu rity in a fellow citizen because he hap pens to have been born north of the Poto mac that believes no qualities which elevate, adorn and endear can originate without the circle of its own pomposity in short, that presumption which al lows no consideration to the small portion of the human family ho do not live in South Carolina for example. The exalted intellect and effective talents of Daniel Webster have ever been devoted to his country to his whole country. He has been emphatically a councillor of the nation.

He has not been confined to that narrow horizon which embraces 41 my constituents," to the exclusion of the rest of our great land. Whila in the Halls of our national legislature, his noble powers have not been devoted to Boston, nor to Massachusetts, nor to New England, but to the Union. Shocking Depravity." It afforded a pleasure near akin to gratitude to remark the deep feeling manifested by ihe mass of the people on the death of President Harrison, and the general and proper respect paid by citizens of all parties lo his memory. But there are some individual exceptions shocking to every finer feeling of the heart. Among the very few instances of brutal delight manifested on the death of the late President, we hear of one man who wore a badge of red upon his arm, in token of rejoicing at the national bereavement We neither know his name, history or character, nor do we wis to know; we heard the fact merely stated in a way that satisfied us of its correctness.

But from our sotll we pity, that man So lost to feeling lost to manly thought, And to the noble sallies of the soul It is painful to note that the editors of certain party newspapers cannot let the rsournful occasion pass without an outrage upon human nature. The "Globe" had abused the character and (he person of the late Gen. Harrison in a manner disgraceful to the American prefs. The more to be deplored was this abuse, because it emanated from the official paper of the Government the high, controlling press of a great parly, possessing an adventitious power over public opinion, such as no other in the country could boast. It represented the brave man, whose name was before the American people as a candidate for their highest trust, as a miserable old imbecile, con fined in a cage, under the care of keepers, chattering at length esca-ping from his cage and exhibiting himself in the pitiable plight pf an idiot This wretched scandal was rebuked by the mighty voicef of the people.

The object of it at last leceived the substantial -honors of a whole nation. He died.
