processes, &c. &c.c yet we are not at all nostile into a trial of the Mining experiment. We only sist that the guardians of the State's interests shall look well to their doings, and not pay tens of thousands for what may be worth only hundredsthat's all. Toe the Mark, Lindenwold! A great Calboun meeting was held in St. Helena Parish, S. C. on the 20th inst. at which a series of the most spirited resolutions were adopted, among which are the following: Resolved, That it is essential to the harmony of the party, and the success of its principles, that they should not nominate a candidate for the Presidency until Congress has set. tled the Tariff question; and that, therefore, the usual time and place for a National Convention should not be changed, and it sbould meet at Baltimore in May, 1844. Resolved, That we consent to be represented In BO convention of the party to nominate R President unless the Tariff shall have first been regulated consistently with justice to the South, and the pledges of the party. Ah Van Van you are a sly fox, but you will have to face the music All the cunning of Silas and the ferocity of Blair will not save you VIRGINIA-RICHARD H. TALER, Editor of the Lynchburgh Virginian, and for several years a leading Whig Member of the House of Delegates, is the Whig sandidate for Congress in the Fourth or Buckingham District, We have hopes of his election if Dr. Hubbard, the present Member, runs against him. GEORGE H. GILMER of Pittsylvania is the Whig candidate for Congress in the Pittsylvania District, which, with most of the Virginia Districts, is arranged so as to elect a Loco-Foco and not waste much majority. Perhaps the contrivers may be disappointed. The Loco-Focos of MISSOURI are at loggerheads on the Currency question. One side is in favor of well-guarded Banking; the dominant or Benton party ia opposed to all Banks whatever. Gen. Ramey, in a Speech against the Hard Money' doctrine at a Loco-Foco meeting at St. Louis, lately made the fellowing hard hit at the great Mokanna of modern imposture, viz : If there is any man who ought to be opposed to fraudulent Banks, it is myself. In early life. left my father' roof, and, after being buffeted about a good many years, found had acquired a considerable fortune, which converted into notes of the (old) Bank of Missouri with the intention of settling permanently in St. Louis. The day before I reached this City, the doors of the Bank were closed, and I was left a beggar by a Bank in which Col. Benton was a Director, and to which no was largely indebted." He might have added that Benton has never paid that indebtedness (some $50,000) yet, and never will begin to. The Whigs of ST. LOUIS have nominated a full City Ticket-JOHN F. DARBY for Mayor, JOHN M. EAGER (late of Newburgh, N. Y.) for City Attorney, &c. The enermous influx of population, largely of European birth, renders the result of their election doubtful. Hon. JOHN C. EDWARDS, Loco M. C. from Missouri, says in bis recently published Speech on the Revenue bill, I am not only opposed to this bill, but I am opposed to any Tariff." That is manly and to the purpose. Shall we never be able to smoke out Van Buren, Wright & Co. from their studied obscurity, and cause them to define their position' with equal frankness ? The Commercial says we are are all wrong about Gen. Case being solicited to take the post of Secretary of State, because Capt. Tyler urged Mr. Webster to lay it well on Gen. C. in their late controversy. That may be a reason to the Commercial-it is none to us, in view of what we know of John Tyler. The Commercial is sure also Mr. Tyler has no idea of displacing Collector Curtis. Again we must dissent, because our information is different. We believe the post of Consul at Liverpool has been hinted to Mr. Curtis, in lieu of the present. If no such change has been suggested to him, it has been to others. HENRY CLAY has commenced the practice of the Law in Kentucky, in connection with his son, J. B. Clay. IF DANIEL H. HARRIS, the Whig P. M. at Frankfort, Ky. has been removed, and Gen. Wm.
