WKDNFSJMY KVKNING, November 3, 1842. Tue buaaon has recurred fortlto publication of the delinquent tax lists, and our county exchanges come to us with these infallible indexes of "hard times," spread over their broad surfaces to a most formidable and alarming degree. LaBt year, wo recollect, some of tlio Reserve counties were boasting that no sales for arrears of taxes, or at worst, that but some half dozen or a scoro, were advertised within their limits; this year they can claim no greater exemption than their neighbors. In sundry counties, the number of lots noticed for sale extends to thousands, and the papers containing them are almost entirely engrossed with the Auditor's advertisement, or are accompanied by an extra sheet in order to relieve tho regular publication and furnish space for a little reading nmtter. On glancing over these lists, we have been struck with the circumstance that the amount of taxes assessed against individual owners is not largo in tho majority of coses varying from one, threo and five to eight or ten dollars. What overpowering calamity has k truck down the public prosperity, and incapacitated tho people from paying promptly and ungrudgingly tho trilling sums due from them for tho support of the government? What could illustrate more forcibly theall-pervading distress which is grinding tho people to dust, than these proofs of their inability to sustain the small amount of taxation indispensable to their condition as a Stale ; and tint ton at a period when they have gathered abundant harvests, and the productions of their labor were never so various or prolific ! What h is bu peri ml need this scene of wide-spread tnixfortuno ! What lias stamped the pleasing picture of our former prosperity, with these dark shadows and stern realities of present ruin and sufficing? Can tho change that has disused such a pall over tho land bo traced to any other source than tho warfare which has been so fiercely waged against the currency for six years post? Had not our troubles their beginning in the destructive scheme of " Rank Reform!" Tho peoplo of Ohio once possessed a circulating medium of their on, to the amount of tight millions of dollars. Could they not pay their tuxes then? What is thero surprising, then, in the fact, that the reduction of their medium of exchange from tight million to a million and a hit!, should have destroy cd the value of their property, (Med their granaries with produce that wilt not sell for tho cost of pro duction, and left them at the tnorcy of tho tax gath erers ! Intelligent men have foreseen and predicted just theso results. The peoplo have been warned ngain ami again, that if they persisted in sanctioning tho destructive measures of Loco Fucoimn, they would evoke ruin and beggary upon their heads nnd the heads of their children. But they would not bo admonished by tho lessons of wisdom and experience. They chose ather to trust themselves to "blind guides" ana r.ow both arc struggling in tho ditch. Tho Taylors, Byingtons, McXulties, &,c, men without a stake in tho community who have no taxes to pay, havo enjoyed more of the people's confidence than tho wisest heads and most patriotic hearts of the State, What care they how or when tho peoplo pay their taxes, or whether wheat sells for a dollar, or for forty cents ; or whether pork commands one dollar or fivo dollars per hundred ; what care they for theso things, if they can hy giving pernicious counsel, gain their selfish and personalobjects! Hut what does this extraordinary delinquency, in tho piyincnt of taxes, foreshadow r It is well known that there is not money enough in the State to pay the assessments fir tho present year, let alone Ihe year which has passed with a large de fault How long can the government bo sustained under such circumslnnces? llnw long shall we pay tho interest on the public debt, and maintain our credit? Hliull wo invade tho common school fund again, and rob it of another fifty thousand (MJ ire ? Will the people forego tho education of their children? Can tho poor, shallow and wicked instruments of all this misery, past, present and prospective, devise a remedy ? Will they even attempt one ? Are wo permitted to hopo that any thing will bo done during the ensuing winter to nllevi itc tho pub-1 lie distresses, and bring us back to the good old times when we were happy in universal ignoranco of tho blessings I hat lay undeveloed in tho untried experiments of MBank Reform." Alas! there is little to encourage our expectations in that quarter. Those who are at tho helm, prefer to crowd siil on the sinking ship, rather than return with her to tho ort to be repaired ; and in tho direction in which wo are drifting, wo seo noLhiug but now peril and dangers, a darker sky and more threatening billows, Tlio people have deserted thorn pilots who alone could have u weathered tho storm," and committed all they h ive to tliosu whoso want of skill and honesty his reduced us to t)icc terriblo straits!

You see the result This evening as the returns come in from each township by exprows, the excitement was equal to that of tho days of Tippe canoe ; the streets were full the loud huzzas of tho untiring Whigs made tho very welkin ring as tlio vote of evcrv township came booming up fur better than any had claimed or expected ; and, as the lust ono come in still belter, the applause was tremen dous. The Court House was instantly lit up. J tie Clay Club held a spontaneous meeting. .100 rallied to it without any announcement. Hefrees and six or eight other good Whigs were successively called to the stand, and for two hours tho enthusiasm was unparallellcd They havo just adjourned to meet again day after to-morrow and hoar the result in tho whole district Caliioos's Opinion op the Locos, John C.

Vnn Burrn'H .llovrmrui mid Pronprcta. At a recent Locofoco Convention in Massachusetts, tho friends of Mr. Van Buren h id secretly prepared a resolution nominating him for tho Presidency, in order to take time by the forelock, and set usiilo Mr. Calhoun or any other prominent Locofoco. Il seems, however, that tho friends of Mr. Calhoun and others were on the alert, and this move was quickly and completely put down. We also understand that there has been several deep and secret movements nttcnipted at the recent ward meetings in New York, having the same object in view, all of which havo been prostrated by Mr. Calhoun's friends here. And at the lato meeting at Tammany Hall, when Wright Hawkes (who is a friend of Mr. Calhoun's) mentioned tho name of that distinguished limn, the applause was quick as tho lightning flash, and enthusiastic and Mwcrful in tho extreme; and Aaron Vanderpoel, who was sitting on the platform, was compelled to add, "and Van Buren too," Uhu which Wright Hawkes from courtesy, repeated tho words in his speech, but the applause was faint compared to the former. These aro significant signs, nnd mean something. And the fart is that Mr. Calhoun is making great progress with tho democracy of New York city and Statu j and his visit here in November will bo an important and eventful one. By tho by, Levi Woodbury of New Hampshire, will be here soon, anil it is proposed to pive him a grand dinner. But what side, or what individual ho means to support is not known, ilia support will ho banked by his Slate. That's worth something. V. K Herald. From llio I'liiladt'lptitn Forum. Mr. t'tny In lmn) Intiiiii. The H-irrishiirgh Telegraph says of tho result? of the election in this State" Last year tho Locos had yi on joint ballot; this year not half tho number! and yet they call it a glorious victory. I lad Dauphin, Chester, Allegheny, Mercer, Adams, Butler, Union, nnd other counties, but acted patriotically, instead of allowing domestic feuds to ngitate them, we should havo hail at least twelvo on joint ba!M. As it is, Jtmes Buchanan will not go back to the United Staks Senate, for several of tho Locos ore pledged to a Protective TarilV." The new House of Representatives will stand 41 Whigs to Alt Locos (or 41 "Coons" to 5U "Clams.") Had our friends in Adams, the Juniata District, Mercer and Bucks not sacrificed us to local interests, we should havo had 55 members in tho Assembly, ond we could easily have carried the Senatorial districts had the Whigs turned nut in those staunch districts, now misrepresented by Locofoco Senators. It is remarkable th.it in every county where an undivided movement had been mado for Mr. Clay we gained ground. In Bucks and Chester, where Clay resolutions were passed at tho county meetings, wo gained four members. In Schuylkill, Cumberland and Washington, where Mr, Clay's name was put before all others, as the Presidential candidate, wo redeemed them from the long reign of ljocofocnism with which they have boon afflicted. Through the intlunneo of Air. Clay's popularity wo havu broken up some of tho strong holds of tho enemy in Pennsylvania, and saved others from the combined assaults of the numerous factions opposed to tho Democratic Whig party. Nothing is now nocdeil so much in Pennsylvania as a a general organization ol thu tricnds ot llenry Llity, and tho quieting ol nil causes ot dihcrenco among us, by submitting his name to a National Convention, which cannot of course refuse to nominate the already preferred candidate of almost every State in tho Lmon.

As nn insUn.ee of the change which calm, full, and candid rellectimt will work in tho minds of the honest in ihe ranks of tho Locos, wo would mention one fact, aiming others, viz: that within a few months past three industrious mechanics in Cambridgebrothers too who voted tho Jjco Foco ticket bo recently as Inst spring, nnd rxerted their utmoKt to prevent the election of Harrison, havo now AHAMio.-wru Loco Focoism itohkvkr, and one of them has been chosen nn ollicer of the Whig Re publican Association in the town mined. 1 UK oi-I'osmo or the Loco Foco Mt:MHt:n or Co.

Bear this in mind, mechanics !" Nefr lnniflrd Mciuarea of Ilrlicf. To tho misguided and corrupt councils of Loco Foco Federalism, tlio people of this Union owe the destruction of their currency, the universal depreciation of the vuluo of their property, and as a natural and inevitable consequence, a flood of distress which is every where oppressing the poor and middling classes of society. The genernl depression and prostration has been superinduced in a time of profound peace, and when all the wheels of industry and enterprise were in rapid and successful motion. Tiiis change in tho condition of tho country has been attended by an amount of demoralization nevor before witnessed except amid tho scenes of a foreign war, when all the Ioobo passions of society are given scope, and human nature puts on its worst and most licentious aspects. The revolution in financial and monetary afluirs which we have experienced, was commenced under the pretext that a "better currency," and a better regulation of the exchanges could be provided by State banks than under a National Banking institution, subject to tho control and aided in its operations by tho General Government Well, six years havo we been engaged in tho painful labors of Sysiphus ; and in that time have thousands been reduced to Bankruptcy, credit, pub lic and private, destroyed, tho march of improvement, State and National, arrested, and at Inst find wo aro floating with a shattered hulk on a sea of troubles. Tho authors and agents of this vast ruin nnd de struction refuse to retrace their footsteps, and the people themselves seem to havo become callous to tho hardships they have endured, and continue to countenance the vain efforts of empirics and dema gogues to mark out new courses to wealth and pros perity, instead of returning to tho beaten paths which have been tested by wisdom nnd experience and proved to be tho only guides to safety andhappiness. Whilst the leaders and expounders of Loco Foco Federalism persist in following after the iftnis fatuus which bus so long bewildered them and eluded their grasp, they acknowledge the insufficiency of all their schemes to improve the currency, or supply the place of that which has been destroyed, by proposing now expedients which cun only operate like opi ates and anodynes upon a constitution in astute of palsy and collapse, from the misuso of rightful remedies and overdosing with nostrums and patent medicines. Wo have noticed, within a few days, from as many different States, three propositions for relieving tho public distress, by making money more abun dant than the currency tinkers J mppen to have left it just at tins moment Tho first comes from Tennessee. Mr. Speaker Turney, of tho Loco Foco Senate, has submitted a bill to provide for tho issue of $'2,000,000 in Post Notes, on tho part of the Banks. This is the upshot of tho hard money crusudc in Tennessee. The ex tirpation of convertible paper has been accomplished, and tho adoption of an irredeemable and depreciated paper circulation only remains. In Missouri, Gov. Bogirs, newly elected to tho Senate of the Stato Legislature, Iris made public a plan he Ins conceived for realizing the Bentoniatt "Golden Age." Gov, B. proposes that tlio State shall create five millions of bonds, bearing no interest, which shall be deposited in the Bank of Missouri, whereon tho Bank shall issue the same amount of trust notes, of tho denominations of 10's, 20's, 50's and 100 dollars each. Theso notes arc to bo loaned to tho people of tho State on bond and mortgngo, and are to bo receivable for debts, on penalty of a forfeiture of tho creditor's remedies nt law. The business ot brokerage is to be prohibited, and any citizen or corporate body that shall attempt to pur- hase trust notes for less than the par value, shall be mulcted in heavy damages. This plan, if carried into effect, it is believed, will u cause properly of all inds to rain Us intrinsic value;11 and "the means will be furnished the citizens (of tho State) of pur- rhasmtr At projierty and paying their debts ! " as ny thing like this ever heard of sinco tho days of ohn Law? Tho third and last p'nn of relief hails from 111 nois. A meeting was held nt Peoria, on tho IHth ultimo, where the project of petitioning Congress to raise tho standard value of the precious metals from ono hundred to five hundred per cent, was discussed; fter which three petitions were put in circulation nd numerously signed for that object Thus it is that Loco Focoism struggles blindly and obstinately on ! Tho people bear its yoke meekly tho rich grow richer, whilst tho poor aro made poorer under its ministrations; nothing thrives but impudence and knavery j promises ore only made to bu broken ; every effort to get back again upon firm ground seems vain, and we are certain of nothing but that an impenetrable uncertainty veils all tho future.

No exertions wore spared by oithor party. The Whifrs fought undet grant disadvantage.

Friend Dawson of tho Uoehestor Democrat, thus happily gets out ol his brags on Ulno before tho uloc tion: "Wo published a ningraph tho other day, which set down tho Whig innjoriiy in Ohio at about "iro ficrrs." This was a typographical error. It should havo road an nrhe-tr.n Goon.

FIFTEEN fl members of Congress, and the Whigs but six, if this odious (jerrymandering Bill had been suffered to become a law ! A "protest upon the Journals " would have been a miserable palliation of a fraud so palpablo and monstrous in its nature. Wo havo before said, and wo reiterate tho assertion, that the injustice of this bill was too gross to havo been quietly submitted to by the minority in tho last Legislature. Aud yet the men who thus at tempt to cruali tho voice ot their political opponents by a resort to such unfair means, claim to be Ikmo-crnts! From such Democracy ns this, may the people of this country bo delivered in all time to come. Piqua Register, From the l'iua (.Miiiini) Reg'ntcr. 'All ihr Ircmy." For tho last two or three years tho Whigs havo been denominated, by tho Loco Focos, the 11 Coon- skin Party, and charged with being destitute ol every principle of morality and decency. Their public meetings have been denounced iui drunken fandangos" in which nil kinds of "debaucheries" ond nthar "disgraceful conduct" prevailed. At the same time tho Locos themselves have been loudly praising their own morality, decency, &c. and industrious in making their hypocritical appeals to tho "riligious portion " of community to aid inputting an end to theso "Whig revels" which wore "destroying tho morals of tho country" Well, they havo succeeded in defeating the Whigs, and what lias tho country gained by the change ? They are now exhibiting their own "refined morals" in a wny that must be peculiarly gratifying to every man of religious and humane feelings. Jjy wuy ol iimni-justing their joy tor their triumph over their country's best hope, they hold festival meetings, in vari ous parts of the State, for the purpose, as they tenn itot "burying the coon." The practice at these meet ings is, to get a number' of live Uaccoons, and exhibit them before tho crowd ns the " representatives of Whig principles." After this, the animals arc taken by a committee appointed for the purose and tinned alive, the operation protracted, as long as poHst-ble, that the meeting may be amused with tho u tiering of the animals thus tortured for hours! ! This is the new code of moruls that is to prevail in tho new order of things. Has the country not reason to bo thankful for tho change? Should wo not feel proud of tho high tono of morals that is about to take place of Whig immorality? Tho Government of the State is about to patts into tho hands of those who declare themselves in favor of " settling the affairs of Banks" by a lawless and infuriated mob; who wish to be " lighted in tho path of duty by tho burning edifices of every Hank in tho State ;" and who, to nil other "digraceful conduct," add the most wanton cruelties, in the celebration of their success, hy butchering and torturing innocent animals in a manner that seldom characterizes the most brutal and ferocious savage. Posterity will surely owe the Io-co Focin of Ohio a heavy debt of grutitudc for giving to the morals of the ago such uu clevnted tono that they cannot bo brought down in all "time to come." ArcrMlon I Ihr I.oro I'oro. Nicholas Uiont-K voted the Loco Foco ticket at tho Into olection in Philadelphia. Wo supposed it would como to this, sooner or later, aud only regret it was not sooner. As tho New York Tribuno says "most exploded financiers are great Loco Focos." Tho last time Air was at Washington, during tho reign of Von llurenism, he sat at the dinner tabic on one side of the President, with Woodbury in the op- (tosite chnir. He doubtless feels at home now the Whigs cry "good riddance," and tho Loco Focos arc proud of their accession ; thus all parties arc pleased, not an every day occurrence. IV UrrrvninHdrrins!

Seo tho fol lowing from that spirited and influential journal. We entirely atrrcc with tlio Ohio Stale Journal that the repignntions of the Whig members were in no wiho the cause ot the detent ol our party in this Mate. From the moment the news of the breaking up ol the Extra session was received here, tho Whigs awoke from their lethargy, and with a full approval of tho resignations, tliey commenced tho campaign in ear nest Wo firmly believo that, hud tho WhiiF mem bers not resigned, our majority in Hons would not havo exceeded tlOU. From the Hnltimorc A inn ic an. Vrre Trndr. We hopo that tho opponents of the present Tariff will consider a litllo before they overthrow it; wo hopo tli' y M ill at nil events wait a w hile and be fair enough to judge of it by its cllccts. If tho jnoplo cli in iso to elect anti-lnnil men to congress ; n too Whiirs are to be allowed no further opportunities to carry out tho system which they have begun; if they nuiHl he compelled lo wiine.i tue ucstruciion oi what they havo already accomplished at least let the whole thing bo done understnndingly. What kind of trndc is it which tlio enemies of tho Tariff would establish? Not free trade for that implies a reciprocity of benetits. Hy opening our ports to the introduction of foreign goods wo do not .secure a free admission for our own products into the ports of other nations. Look at last year's trade. Our Imports last year, according to a statement mado by Gen. Tallmadgo at tho Into meeting of tho New ork Home League, amounted to 17,000,(100; on which wo imposed and collected duties amounting in all to some fourteen millions of dollars, or about ehven jier cent on tho aggregate. During the same year our Exports of homo products, mainly agricultural, amounted to .7: m ,uuu,uw ; on wmcii torvigii nnnuiw imposed duties amounting lo one hundred and thirty-three millions of dollars, or at tho rate of one hundred and twenty-four nor cent on the total value. Hero is a ballanco ot over one humlrcn per cent, agauisi tho labor nnd production of this country. Is this free trade? Can tho delusion of empty names avail any thing against such a stntnueut of tartar Will tho election ut Mr. lalhoun or .Mr. Van Buren to the Presidency bo a antlicicnt com mentation for tho evils of such a condition of trade ? It mnv bo so to the politicians who hope fur advance ment, but to tho great body of the peoplo who depend on their own industry and look tors fair rewnrd if their labor, no such result will allora any thing but tlio mockery of atrtumph id' a triumph wither ing and blasting tho very sources ot the national prosperity, and strikino: down ihe subftnntiul deidt- denco of tho industrious man who mists to his own energies and his own labor tu acquire and 11 minis in a freeman's heritage. The forcn of party associations is great; and it is quite probable ih it thousands, win we dearest interests aro concerned in this matter, mil have their minus so diverted from the true ishtie, when tho question is presented tor tlieir decision at the polls, or be so influenced by political leaders as to throw their suflra ges against the principles which their better judgment would sn net 1 on, and with which their inlcreMs are strongly identified. Hut it is not the less a duty on tho part of tho frtendi of American indintry to advance its causo in the best way they csn, by set-ting forth facts, aud endeavoring tu exhibit a tnio stnto of the case. It is urged by some that tho Tariff ought not to bo made a party question Unit it is a national affair, and should be so considered.

Mr. Clay's speech in Indiana wus in his best style. Speaking of his enthusiastic reception, ho said that his return from Dayton resembled more the progress of a Roman conqueror, after the successful conquest of rival nations, than Die reception of an humble citizen of an humble State, without power and without natronar'e. Ho could not help contrastms; ttio scenes of the last few days with his condition fifteen years ago. Then, said Mr. Clay, (raising his voice) it ap peared as it all mankind conspired against mo. my motives were traduced, my character aspersed and villitied; but I was strong here, hi:iik, (striking his breast) in honesty and fidelity to my country. Isaid then and thank God tho People of Indiana are sustaining the declaration ! that " Truth is omnipotent, and public justice certain." Hut, fellow-citizens, gratifying as are these manifestations of regard to me, personally, and pleased as 1 am to reciprocate them, I am not vain or presumptuous enough to suppose that I am worthy of the scene which surrounds me. No! no! It is the cause the glorious cause the system of National Policy, of which I have long been an humble advocate, that calls forth this exhibition of feeling this display of sensibility. Mr. Cloy stated what theso principles were: 1st " A currency of uniform value, springing from tho will of tho Notion." J2d. "The duty of the National Legislature to give protection to the industry uf tlio People of the United States." Mr. Clay said ho would not quarrel with any one about forms. That bill would meet his approbation which afforded satisfaction tu tho greatest numbers. He looked to the substance rather than to the form. He should prefer tint the principles of the Compromise Act be adhered to as closely as possible. The home valuation provision should have been insisted upon, though somo gentlemen of the South deemed it impracticable. JWr.Uiy diltercu with them on tins subject He know that tho Compromise Act of 1K13 never could have received tho sanction ol Congress but for the incorporation of that salutary principle ; und if it cannot now bo carried out, the Compromise should be abandoned.

C pon tho subject ot internal improvements, Mr. Clay said that although ho did not doubt tho power of tho General Government to carry out a system of public improvements, as heretofore expressed in tlio Senate, he would he willing to abandon that power, in exchange for the ono ot Distribution, except as it related lo Lako Harbors, the Commerce of the Sciibonrd, and tho National Road. Thcdo ought to bo prosecuted under authority of U10 General Government MR. C LAV'S VIEWS OF THE TREATT, Having stated briefly, the policy of tho Whigs, since in power, (if in power they have over been since the death of Gen. Harrison,) Air, Clay said it wus right that he should say something of the good done, and tho reasons why more was not accomplished. In the first placo tie would allude to the recent treuty with Great Hritain. Gen. Jucltsou's Administration j mndo various ellurls to settle the long existing diffi culties with that power, but failed in every case. The 1 Mn ir ot Holland was selected as an umpire, but his award was promptly rejected by tho then existing Administration, ana tnu delicate mailers involved re Ml 111 a condition which threatened to disturb thu peace of the two countries. Tho Whigs, sinco they came into power, havo, I am proud to say, honorably achieved a settlement of the questions at issue. 1 take grout pleasure in awarding to the r resident who deserves so little cnininciidnliun in other ro- spocts and to the Secretary uf Stnto, all the credit iluo them tor this negocintion. it is true, we have not gained much, not as much land as that awarded hy the Kini: of Holland. We get Rouse's Point and the navigation of the St. Johns river, though some- whut under llritish iiitluenco. On the whole, said Mr. Clay. I believo neither party has trained anv gieat advantage, and, had I been a Senator, I should havu voted for its ratification. That tlio peace so- ured bv it will bo permanent, I have crcatconfi- iletice. for experience teaches that thoso treaties are most enduring where neither party has secured any undue advantage. I poti all 1 1 ic ho topics Mr. Clay spoko eloquently. Wo add a pant era pli or two upon other matters of in terest adverted to by the distinguished orator: Mr. Clay went on to advert tu Ihe domestic policy uf (he Nation, aud to tho Extra Session of Congress, lied by the lamented Harrison. Ho acknowledged that he advised, in part, ttio convocation of that ses sion. It was necessary to givo efficiency to previous triumphs. Fellow citizens, said Mr. Clay, what did mou mean by the victory of IH40 ? Did you mean only to chango ono tenant of tlio White House for ntvithcrr as it to be a barren victory ? ISo! no! I'hu object o u hid in view was to produces radical change in the policy of the government Fan wished to see the currency restored, disordered exchanges rectified, a revival of business secured, nnd all the great measures decreed by ihe will of tlio Nation established. Forty years hud attested tho utility of a National Dank, in establishing a National Currency. At that extra session a Uank bill was introduced, and. contrary to tho general expectation, vetoed by the 1' res 1 dent, 00 anxious, howevor, weie the liurs to carry out tho will of tho Nation, that somo of them ( wns not of the number) wished to ssccrtain from Mr. lyler trwitinrfot a Hank bill would meet Ai approbation.

He felt sure dial if he favored it that very favor would be likely to prejudice tho measure in tho estimation ol the hxccutive. I felt prcnseiv liko that venerable and estimablo patriot.

Now thut tho State government is by tho supine- ncss of dio Whigs thrown into the hands of the Loco Focos, die leaders do not seem to see dieir way quite so clearly as at one time was pretended. Modury, who during the canvass bellowed Bank Reform like a bull-frog in a mill-pond, appears now very much at fault. After doling a column of twaddle to his readers, without point or principle, he winds off with a confession that he bus no definite notions on the subject, except Uiatthe Federal Party he thinks will ultimately got on die right track. At Cincinnati they see things more clearly. At a meeting of tho party, ihey resolved in substance that our State taxes ought to be paid in gold and silver; and that government officers must have no connec tion as such with Banks. In other words, that no more business, cither public or private, must bo done than diere may be gold and silver in the country to serve as die medium of exchange. Why is all diis? For what good purpose shall this course be taken ? Oh ! tu put down monopoly, and make bankers universally liable for the payment of their notes liko other people. These busy-bodies would have us believe thut all our difficulties come from tho want of this individual liability.

Most persons have supposed, that when all tho Hanks but eleven or nine had expired, and the stockholders hail their property in them back again, the matter would bear no further squeezing, llut as the party have been unexpected ly restored to power, it seems to be imagined that the leud carcasses of tho banks will bear kicking for some timo longer, and that the shadow, of defunct corjiorutions will be as available for party purposes, as the living but "soulless1 bodies themselves. It cannot be very profitable to speculate upon what tho party will do on the subject of banking at tho next session of the legislature. When tho great High I'ricstsnd presiding genius of the Tin Pan is himself unable to point out the policy to be pursued, it would bo presumptuous in the spectators of the game to express tlieir opinions.

WKDNFSJMY KVKNING, November 3, 1842. Tue buaaon has recurred fortlto publication of the delinquent tax lists, and our county exchanges come to us with these infallible indexes of "hard times," spread over their broad surfaces to a most formidable and alarming degree. LaBt year, wo recollect, some of tlio Reserve counties were boasting that no sales for arrears of taxes, or at worst, that but some half dozen or a scoro, were advertised within their limits; this year they can claim no greater exemption than their neighbors. In sundry counties, the number of lots noticed for sale extends to thousands, and the papers containing them are almost entirely engrossed with the Auditor's advertisement, or are accompanied by an extra sheet in order to relieve tho regular publication and furnish space for a little reading nmtter. On glancing over these lists, we have been struck with the circumstance that the amount of taxes assessed against individual owners is not largo in tho majority of coses varying from one, threo and five to eight or ten dollars. What overpowering calamity has k truck down the public prosperity, and incapacitated tho people from paying promptly and ungrudgingly tho trilling sums due from them for tho support of the government? What could illustrate more forcibly theall-pervading distress which is grinding tho people to dust, than these proofs of their inability to sustain the small amount of taxation indispensable to their condition as a Stale ; and tint ton at a period when they have gathered abundant harvests, and the productions of their labor were never so various or prolific ! What h is bu peri ml need this scene of wide-spread tnixfortuno ! What lias stamped the pleasing picture of our former prosperity, with these dark shadows and stern realities of present ruin and sufficing? Can tho change that has disused such a pall over tho land bo traced to any other source than tho warfare which has been so fiercely waged against the currency for six years post?

At a recent Locofoco Convention in Massachusetts, tho friends of Mr. Van Buren h id secretly prepared a resolution nominating him for tho Presidency, in order to take time by the forelock, and set usiilo Mr. Calhoun or any other prominent Locofoco. Il seems, however, that tho friends of Mr. Calhoun and others were on the alert, and this move was quickly and completely put down. We also understand that there has been several deep and secret movements nttcnipted at the recent ward meetings in New York, having the same object in view, all of which havo been prostrated by Mr. Calhoun's friends here. And at the lato meeting at Tammany Hall, when Wright Hawkes (who is a friend of Mr. Calhoun's) mentioned tho name of that distinguished limn, the applause was quick as tho lightning flash, and enthusiastic and Mwcrful in tho extreme; and Aaron Vanderpoel, who was sitting on the platform, was compelled to add, "and Van Buren too," Uhu which Wright Hawkes from courtesy, repeated tho words in his speech, but the applause was faint compared to the former. These aro significant signs, nnd mean something. And the fart is that Mr. Calhoun is making great progress with tho democracy of New York city and Statu j and his visit here in November will bo an important and eventful one. By tho by, Levi Woodbury of New Hampshire, will be here soon, anil it is proposed to pive him a grand dinner. But what side, or what individual ho means to support is not known, ilia support will ho banked by his Slate. That's worth something. V. K Herald. From llio I'liiladt'lptitn Forum.

The new House of Representatives will stand 41 Whigs to Alt Locos (or 41 "Coons" to 5U "Clams.") Had our friends in Adams, the Juniata District, Mercer and Bucks not sacrificed us to local interests, we should havo had 55 members in tho Assembly, ond we could easily have carried the Senatorial districts had the Whigs turned nut in those staunch districts, now misrepresented by Locofoco Senators. It is remarkable th.it in every county where an undivided movement had been mado for Mr. Clay we gained ground. In Bucks and Chester, where Clay resolutions were passed at tho county meetings, wo gained four members. In Schuylkill, Cumberland and Washington, where Mr, Clay's name was put before all others, as the Presidential candidate, wo redeemed them from the long reign of ljocofocnism with which they have boon afflicted.

To tho misguided and corrupt councils of Loco Foco Federalism, tlio people of this Union owe the destruction of their currency, the universal depreciation of the vuluo of their property, and as a natural and inevitable consequence, a flood of distress which is every where oppressing the poor and middling classes of society. The genernl depression and prostration has been superinduced in a time of profound peace, and when all the wheels of industry and enterprise were in rapid and successful motion. Tiiis change in tho condition of tho country has been attended by an amount of demoralization nevor before witnessed except amid tho scenes of a foreign war, when all the Ioobo passions of society are given scope, and human nature puts on its worst and most licentious aspects. The revolution in financial and monetary afluirs which we have experienced, was commenced under the pretext that a "better currency," and a better regulation of the exchanges could be provided by State banks than under a National Banking institution, subject to tho control and aided in its operations by tho General Government Well, six years havo we been engaged in tho painful labors of Sysiphus ; and in that time have thousands been reduced to Bankruptcy, credit, pub lic and private, destroyed, tho march of improvement, State and National, arrested, and at Inst find wo aro floating with a shattered hulk on a sea of troubles. Tho authors and agents of this vast ruin nnd de struction refuse to retrace their footsteps, and the people themselves seem to havo become callous to tho hardships they have endured, and continue to countenance the vain efforts of empirics and dema gogues to mark out new courses to wealth and pros perity, instead of returning to tho beaten paths which have been tested by wisdom nnd experience and proved to be tho only guides to safety andhappiness. Whilst the leaders and expounders of Loco Foco Federalism persist in following after the iftnis fatuus which bus so long bewildered them and eluded their grasp, they acknowledge the insufficiency of all their schemes to improve the currency, or supply the place of that which has been destroyed, by proposing now expedients which cun only operate like opi ates and anodynes upon a constitution in astute of palsy and collapse, from the misuso of rightful remedies and overdosing with nostrums and patent medicines. Wo have noticed, within a few days, from as many different States, three propositions for relieving tho public distress, by making money more abun dant than the currency tinkers J mppen to have left it just at tins moment Tho first comes from Tennessee. Mr. Speaker Turney, of tho Loco Foco Senate, has submitted a bill to provide for tho issue of $'2,000,000 in Post Notes, on tho part of the Banks. This is the upshot of tho hard money crusudc in Tennessee. The ex tirpation of convertible paper has been accomplished, and tho adoption of an irredeemable and depreciated paper circulation only remains. In Missouri, Gov. Bogirs, newly elected to tho Senate of the Stato Legislature, Iris made public a plan he Ins conceived for realizing the Bentoniatt "Golden Age." Gov, B. proposes that tlio State shall create five millions of bonds, bearing no interest, which shall be deposited in the Bank of Missouri, whereon tho Bank shall issue the same amount of trust notes, of tho denominations of 10's, 20's, 50's and 100 dollars each. Theso notes arc to bo loaned to tho people of tho State on bond and mortgngo, and are to bo receivable for debts, on penalty of a forfeiture of tho creditor's remedies nt law. The business ot brokerage is to be prohibited, and any citizen or corporate body that shall attempt to pur- hase trust notes for less than the par value, shall be mulcted in heavy damages. This plan, if carried into effect, it is believed, will u cause properly of all inds to rain Us intrinsic value;11 and "the means will be furnished the citizens (of tho State) of pur- rhasmtr At projierty and paying their debts !

For tho last two or three years tho Whigs havo been denominated, by tho Loco Focos, the 11 Coon- skin Party, and charged with being destitute ol every principle of morality and decency. Their public meetings have been denounced iui drunken fandangos" in which nil kinds of "debaucheries" ond nthar "disgraceful conduct" prevailed. At the same time tho Locos themselves have been loudly praising their own morality, decency, &c. and industrious in making their hypocritical appeals to tho "riligious portion " of community to aid inputting an end to theso "Whig revels" which wore "destroying tho morals of tho country" Well, they havo succeeded in defeating the Whigs, and what lias tho country gained by the change ? They are now exhibiting their own "refined morals" in a wny that must be peculiarly gratifying to every man of religious and humane feelings. Jjy wuy ol iimni-justing their joy tor their triumph over their country's best hope, they hold festival meetings, in vari ous parts of the State, for the purpose, as they tenn itot "burying the coon." The practice at these meet ings is, to get a number' of live Uaccoons, and exhibit them before tho crowd ns the " representatives of Whig principles." After this, the animals arc taken by a committee appointed for the purose and tinned alive, the operation protracted, as long as poHst-ble, that the meeting may be amused with tho u tiering of the animals thus tortured for hours! ! This is the new code of moruls that is to prevail in tho new order of things. Has the country not reason to bo thankful for tho change? Should wo not feel proud of tho high tono of morals that is about to take place of Whig immorality? Tho Government of the State is about to patts into tho hands of those who declare themselves in favor of " settling the affairs of Banks" by a lawless and infuriated mob; who wish to be " lighted in tho path of duty by tho burning edifices of every Hank in tho State ;" and who, to nil other "digraceful conduct," add the most wanton cruelties, in the celebration of their success, hy butchering and torturing innocent animals in a manner that seldom characterizes the most brutal and ferocious savage.

Our Imports last year, according to a statement mado by Gen.

Ho could not help contrastms; ttio scenes of the last few days with his condition fifteen years ago. Then, said Mr. Clay, (raising his voice) it ap peared as it all mankind conspired against mo. my motives were traduced, my character aspersed and villitied; but I was strong here, hi:iik, (striking his breast) in honesty and fidelity to my country. Isaid then and thank God tho People of Indiana are sustaining the declaration ! that " Truth is omnipotent, and public justice certain." Hut, fellow-citizens, gratifying as are these manifestations of regard to me, personally, and pleased as 1 am to reciprocate them, I am not vain or presumptuous enough to suppose that I am worthy of the scene which surrounds me. No! no! It is the cause the glorious cause the system of National Policy, of which I have long been an humble advocate, that calls forth this exhibition of feeling this display of sensibility. Mr. Cloy stated what theso principles were: 1st " A currency of uniform value, springing from tho will of tho Notion." J2d. "The duty of the National Legislature to give protection to the industry uf tlio People of the United States." Mr. Clay said ho would not quarrel with any one about forms.

C LAV'S VIEWS OF THE TREATT, Having stated briefly, the policy of tho Whigs, since in power, (if in power they have over been since the death of Gen. Harrison,) Air, Clay said it wus right that he should say something of the good done, and tho reasons why more was not accomplished. In the first placo tie would allude to the recent treuty with Great Hritain. Gen. Jucltsou's Administration j mndo various ellurls to settle the long existing diffi culties with that power, but failed in every case. The 1 Mn ir ot Holland was selected as an umpire, but his award was promptly rejected by tho then existing Administration, ana tnu delicate mailers involved re Ml 111 a condition which threatened to disturb thu peace of the two countries. Tho Whigs, sinco they came into power, havo, I am proud to say, honorably achieved a settlement of the questions at issue. 1 take grout pleasure in awarding to the r resident who deserves so little cnininciidnliun in other ro- spocts and to the Secretary uf Stnto, all the credit iluo them tor this negocintion. it is true, we have not gained much, not as much land as that awarded hy the Kini: of Holland. We get Rouse's Point and the navigation of the St. Johns river, though some- whut under llritish iiitluenco. On the whole, said Mr. Clay. I believo neither party has trained anv gieat advantage, and, had I been a Senator, I should havu voted for its ratification. That tlio peace so- ured bv it will bo permanent, I have crcatconfi- iletice. for experience teaches that thoso treaties are most enduring where neither party has secured any undue advantage. I poti all 1 1 ic ho topics Mr. Clay spoko eloquently. Wo add a pant era pli or two upon other matters of in terest adverted to by the distinguished orator: Mr. Clay went on to advert tu Ihe domestic policy uf (he Nation, aud to tho Extra Session of Congress, lied by the lamented Harrison. Ho acknowledged that he advised, in part, ttio convocation of that ses sion. It was necessary to givo efficiency to previous triumphs. Fellow citizens, said Mr. Clay, what did mou mean by the victory of IH40 ? Did you mean only to chango ono tenant of tlio White House for ntvithcrr as it to be a barren victory ? ISo! no! I'hu object o u hid in view was to produces radical change in the policy of the government Fan wished to see the currency restored, disordered exchanges rectified, a revival of business secured, nnd all the great measures decreed by ihe will of tlio Nation established. Forty years hud attested tho utility of a National Dank, in establishing a National Currency. At that extra session a Uank bill was introduced, and. contrary to tho general expectation, vetoed by the 1' res 1 dent, 00 anxious, howevor, weie the liurs to carry out tho will of tho Nation, that somo of them ( wns not of the number) wished to ssccrtain from Mr. lyler trwitinrfot a Hank bill would meet Ai approbation.

He felt sure dial if he favored it that very favor would be likely to prejudice tho measure in tho estimation ol the hxccutive. I felt prcnseiv liko that venerable and estimablo patriot.

Now thut tho State government is by tho supine- ncss of dio Whigs thrown into the hands of the Loco Focos, die leaders do not seem to see dieir way quite so clearly as at one time was pretended. Modury, who during the canvass bellowed Bank Reform like a bull-frog in a mill-pond, appears now very much at fault. After doling a column of twaddle to his readers, without point or principle, he winds off with a confession that he bus no definite notions on the subject, except Uiatthe Federal Party he thinks will ultimately got on die right track. At Cincinnati they see things more clearly. At a meeting of tho party, ihey resolved in substance that our State taxes ought to be paid in gold and silver; and that government officers must have no connec tion as such with Banks. In other words, that no more business, cither public or private, must bo done than diere may be gold and silver in the country to serve as die medium of exchange. Why is all diis? For what good purpose shall this course be taken ? Oh ! tu put down monopoly, and make bankers universally liable for the payment of their notes liko other people. These busy-bodies would have us believe thut all our difficulties come from tho want of this individual liability.

Most persons have supposed, that when all tho Hanks but eleven or nine had expired, and the stockholders hail their property in them back again, the matter would bear no further squeezing, llut as the party have been unexpected ly restored to power, it seems to be imagined that the leud carcasses of tho banks will bear kicking for some timo longer, and that the shadow, of defunct corjiorutions will be as available for party purposes, as the living but "soulless1 bodies themselves. It cannot be very profitable to speculate upon what tho party will do on the subject of banking at tho next session of the legislature.
