WHERE DO WE STAVID?
The Whig party are gloriously. indisputably
triumphant in the Empire State, and almost as
certainly so in the Union. We close the cam-
paign of 1838 in a blaze of victory. The mere
accidental loss of a Member of Congressin Dela-
ware from a simply local and non-political tn-
fluence, is scarcely a spot on the bright sun of
hitrtriutnph. It is more than balanced by_out'
signal antl most significant gains in Mississippi
and Michigan at our recent Elections, even
should those gains prove only valuable as a pro-
mise of future ascendancy in those States. and
not secure us a U. S. Senator from the former
and a Senator and R_.eprcser:ta'.ive from the lat-
lot. as they bid fairto do. 01"?-'=-Take those three
little States together, and no intelligent man can
say that the \Vhigs have not gained in them at
the November Elections. We have then the
noble surniounting of our local embarrassments
in Massachusetts. with the annihilatingytctory
in New York. on which to close the business of
., 1838. and balance the books. Let us see how

.Horrid M'unIer in }l1_isst’ut'ppi.—\Ve copv the
following revolting uarrativeof bloodshed from
the Nashville Banner;
We last night received the Granada (Mism)
Banner of the 8th ult. in which we find ‘an ac-
eountof a most horrid scene of bl_ood§he,d and
murder. The Bulletin states. that Gideon Gib-
son of Warren county, sold sometime since a
tract of/land on Yazoo river. and some 40 or 50
negroes, on ri long credit, to Wilson and Simp-
son, with an agreementon the part of Wilson to

For this purpose Gibson rented the plantation
of the Hon. Franklin Pluipmegg Finally. some
misunderstanding arose betw-bog the parties.-
Gibson demanded to have thecontract rescinded.

Net__0 Jersey Elcplion Fr_auds.—The,outrages
which have been exposed in the manner of con-
ducting the elections in Millville, have given to
it a notoriety which will be long remembered.-
, In the course of the examination before the Le-
gislative Committees. the following came out in
evidence, given by the voters themselves. The
man did not know, and did not care for whom he
voted, be only wanted to vote. Another did not
know what ticket he voted. but was told it was
forgold and silver. Another had never heard
of Harrison or Clay; he heard of \Vashington.
but did not know whether he was President or
not. Another thought he was voting for Jack-
son. The foregoing are but samples: the 010"
were foreigners, most of them entirely ignorant
ofour language, and neither knowing nor caring
for whom they voted. VVhat are the principles

The Nashville Whig oflhe 14th ultimo, states
that the stiperabundance of the late corn crop in
Missouri and Illinois has just been illustrated by
agovernment contractor, who purchased in the
counties of Saline. Lafayette and Clay, (Mo.)
30.000 bushels to be delivered on the bank oflhe
Missouri at 15 cents per bushel. Further down
the river the same contractor was offered 7,000
bushels at 12; cents.

Outragc.—Arnong the articles of freight
brought up by the cars from the Falls, last eve-
ning. was a long suspicious looking box. mark-
ed " mill saws," which attracted the attention of
Deputy Collector Dwight, who happened to he
at the railroad depot. The box was carried to.
the U. S. Hotel. and Mr. Dwight took the liber-
iy of opening it. and found that instead ofsaws it
was filled with muskets. bayonets, cartridge
boxes, shovels, pick axes. dcc. altogether an as-
sortment of utensils fit for carrying on warlike
operations. Mr. felt himself warranted in
seizing them under the circumstances ; he did
so and was immediately set upon by a gang of
ruffiaris who had collected around. He defend-
ed ltimselffor awhile but was soon knocked down
frotn behind, kicked and bruised while down,
and dragged round by his hair. and in the mean-
time the ‘articles be had seized were carried off
by some 'persous unknown. The outrage was
one of the most high handed and atrocious that
was ever committed in this city, and we trust
that prompt and effectual means will be employ-
ed to bring the ‘offenders tojustice.
Patriotic Jl{ooe7tzents.—We understand that
last night there was a gathering ofpatriots to the
number of150 or 200 at the foot of Main street.
They had a leader whom they called Captain,
and‘ were intending to go up the Lake us far as
Detroit. but the wind being so high as to prevent
any steamboat leaving port, they dispersed.-
Where they came from no one colild tell. Otir
informant said most of them appeared to be
Canadians. They carried no arms.

Tut: Mormon \VAit.—The Western mail,
yesterday, brought us some additional particu-
lars in regard to the disturbances in Caldwell co.
The Far VVest, published at Liberty. states
that Gen. Clark still remained at Far VVest,
ltaving under his command 1300 men who were
employed in guarding the captured "Mormons.
A great manyof the Morinous had matle their
escape from Caldwell county, leaving their
families. '
The Far West also says. just as our paper
was going to press. we received a communica-
tion froni Gen. Lucas giving the stipulations of
the treaty made by him and the Mormons.
The fullowingare the stipulations between the
parties: _
lst. To give up their leaders to be tried and
punished.
2d. To makean appropriation ofthe property
of all who had taken up arms. for the payment
of the debts. and as an indemnity for damages
done by them.
3d. That the Mormons should all leave the

Mahan‘.9 Trial.—The trial of the Rev. John
B. .Mahan for the abduction of the slaves of
Willlapi Greathousee, Esq., commenced on
Tuesday afternoon of last week in the Mason
Circuit Court, and terminatedd on Monday.-
It appeared from the evidence that Mahan stated
to the witness that, during the month preceding
his indictment, fifteen slaves had passed through
his hands on their way from Kentucky to Ohio
or Caoada—and that oftbose fifteen, two of them
(the same which are named in the indictment)
belonged to Mr. Greathouse: That there was a
chain, reaching from Kentucky to Canada for
the purpose of forwarding fugitive slaves.——
Mahan further urged the witness to br:ome
one of the links of that chain, ofiering J pay
him for his services. Upon the witness be "Ztaing,
Maban told him that he need not fear, for that
there was a colored barber in Mag/sville, who
sent him all he could. '
Judge Reid delivered his opinion, in writing,
on Monday morning, in which he decided,
substantially, that the prisoner had not violated
the criminallaw of Kentucky, unless be aided,-
personally. in the escape of the fugitives from
Kentucky, or,was near enough to assirt in case of
alarm or danger. He permitted the case, how-
ever. to’ go to the jury, who had a right to judge
of the law and the facts, with the charge that
if they found from the evidence the crime alleg-
ed was not committed in Mason county, they
should find for the accused.
The Jury retired a few minutes, and returned
into court with a verdict of“Not _Guilty.”
We are gratified. nay. we are proud to say,
that the most perfect order and decorum prevail-
ed tliroughout the trial, notwithstanding the
court house was more or le:s crowded from the
commencement to theterrnination. The position
which we occupied. enabled us to overlook the
assembled crowd, and ifthe cou'r'itenan,ces of men
reflect with any degree of fidelity, the emotions
of the heart. there prevailed no excitement of
feeling-—no disposition to stretch the law to suit
the particular case-’—but a settled and anxious
desire that the law. as intelligently understood
and expo_und,ed, ‘whether it acquit or condemn
the accused. should be enforced.
Our fellow c_iti;en_s of Ohio will perceive, from
the result of this trial. that there is no disposition
on our part to interfere with their rights or to en-
croach upon the sovereignly of their state.-
Have we‘ not a right to ask, in return, that they
will frown down the disposition manifested. by a
portion oflheir citizens, to interrneddle with our
rights, by inciting. aiding and abetting" the es-
cape of our slaves, which we" esteem property,
and the possession of which is guaranteed to us
by a commor: constitution.—.Maysvt'lle Eagle.

Destruction oflhe Mobile Tltcatrc by F in: --A
slip from the oflice of the Mobile It-Iercantilc Ad-

“A very destructive fire occurred about 4 o’
clock this morning in the square. west side of
St. Emanuel street, between Dauphin and Con-
ti. It originated in the Mobile Theatre, which
was completely enveloped in flamcs, before the
engines could be brought to the ground; it ex-
tendey thence south to Conti stret.t,tbcnce west,
embracing the three first l.‘llll(lln9'S in that direc-
tion, entirely destroying the Theatre and its
valuable contents, and five other buildings—to-
tal loss estimated at $200,000. The proprietors
of the Theatre, Messrs. Emanuel & Center, par-
tially insurcd ; Messrs. Ludlow &Smitli, mana-
gers, have lost their scenery, wardrobe,furnit.ure,
&c. no insurance—loss $20,000; Mr. R. Chap-
man and J. Baptiste, Esq. heavy sufferers, also
without insurance. Messrs. Ludlow 62. Smith,
with their characteristic energy. have already
taken active measures for opening the Govern-
ment street Theatre, and will be able to do so
in a few days.” '
Il7rcc7c and Loss ofL-q'.fc.—’1‘lie schooner Po-
tomac was capsized on Sunday afternoon in L.
Island Sound, opposite Smitlitown. and all on
board perished. Four men were sccn,just at
dark, running too and fro on her side, waving
their hands to some persons on shore, who had
discovered them. A boat could not be obtained
to put off to them until it was quite dark,
when an ineffectual attempt was made by
four men in a long boat. The sea, however.
was so high. that the boat filled in passing through
the breakers, and they were obliged to desist
from their humane purpose. The following
morning several boats put off to her, when only
one man was discovered, frozen and sheathed in
ice, lying across the ratlins. How many were on
board when the accident occurred, is not known.
The stem of the vessel was so much under wa-
ter. that the name of the place whence she sail-
ed could not be discovered. She is apparently
a new vessel, beavilyladcn with barrels, the con-
tents of which are not, as yet, known. Several
sloops were sent out yesterday inorning from
Smithtown for the purpose of raising her, in
which they have probably cre this tgucceeded.-~

sage-‘-More cfalcalions. —VVc received iritel-
ligence yesterday of an important nature from
Washington. The President has already writ-
ten out the greater portion of his next Message.
This document will take up tlifi'erent points to
those of any of his former. He will say very
little of banks or Sub-Treasury. but a great deal
on abolition. The result of the l..-5‘. elcctloii
in New York will be attributed entirely to the
abolitionists, and on this text he will havealong
sermon, on thenccessity of supporting the Union
and the Constitution. On Canada, be will en-
large it little in order to gratify the impcrtunities
of Mr. Fox, and please the Melbourne cabinet.
These are the chief‘ views we have received
relative to the Message. But this is not all. A
fresh batch of defalcations have been discovered
at \Vashington, pertaining principally to the Land
Office and the banks connected with them.-
These defalcations will reach, it is supposed,
about five or ten millions. if they should all be
discovered. But it is highly probable that some
fire or suitable conflagration may burn up the
public oflices. and thus destroy the documents,
by which the truth can be revealed.
Thus we go. Our virtttoustttlministration has

From the Bangor IVhig
LINNEUS, Me. Nov. 19, 1838.
Mr. Editor—-Presuming that your readers.
like most others, are fond of the marvellous,
especially when tinctured with t.rtttb,I hasten
to lay before you the following occurrence. which
took place in this town last evning. About 7
o’clock in the evening Mr. Isaac Saunder’s son
James, who is about eight years ofage, was sent
to the barn to feed the cattle, and while return-
ing therefrom to the house, (the distance from
the barn to the house is about 40 rods) had his
attention arrested by the appearance of a huge
black object direcly ahead of him. He stood
still for a moment, not knowing whether to ad-
vance or retreat. At length he concluded to
go altead, when the bear rose tip on his hind
legs, and put himself in an attitude to" receive
the youngster with his fore paws. The boy
perceiving the attitude of the bear, and his appa-
rent determination to maintain his ground,
gave a loud screech, and turned and ran to-
wardsthe barn. At this, the bear started in pur-
suit, and came up with the boy. who was still
screeching. Just as the men in the house who
had heard the alarm,were approaching the theatre
of action, the bear seized the boy, with his fore
paws, raised himself again upon his hind legs,
and started with his prey with all possible dis-
patch for the woods. The men hotly pursued
him for some three quarters of a mile. when the
bear finding himselfbut a few feet ahead of his
pursuers, turned around and stood face to face
with them, when the men, each of whom was
armed with an axe, made a motion to give him
a gentle tap upon the head, but: his left paw
was ready for a fend-off, while he held the boy
tightly with his right one. The men finding it
was useless to fight: with axes, one of them
started for the house after a gun, which he load-
ed with buck shot, and returned to the woods.
On his arrival at the scene of battle, tliefbear
in attempting to turn and try log bail again, was
shot; through the left side of his body‘, which
brought him to the ground, and caused him to
relinquish his hold of the boy, who scampered
home more frightened than hurt. liaving_receiv-
ed no other harm than a most unconscionable
hugging. Mr. Saunders took the bear to his
house, skinned and dressed him. and I IIKVG
just finished my supper, which was made part-
ly off a portion of his flesh. The bear weighed
when dressed 362 pounds, and is said to be the
largest ever caught in this town. '
