DISINTERMENT OF NINEVEH.
Letters received in.Paris from Constanti-
nople. dated July. contain sotne _interesting
information relative to M. Botta’s recent dis-
coveries at Khorsabad. near Nineveh. Eu-
gene Flandin. an artist, has been sent out by
the French government for the purpose of
making drawings of the excavations which
are rapidly going on. Botta has discovered

and wings. These doors are fifteen feet in
iheight. andthey open int a hall I20 feet
long. Theonly wall whi ' is not yctclcgred

cred with rt series of has-relifs. representing
=b‘sttlcs., explained by inscriptions. The bill
‘on which this building stands is surrounded
by a stone wall, with bastions. Botta is ac-
tively exploring these ruins; he has fifty la-
borers at work. and it is hoped that in the
space often months he will lay open - the
whole. He has ascertained that there is. on
the-direct road from Nineveh to Khorsabad.
a chain of hills. covered with brick and mar-
ble bearing inscriptions. He infers that
these bills were formerly the bases of pala-
ces. and that Khorsabad was a fortress situ-
ated at one end of the city. The quadran-
zgular space, which is surrounded by the wall
-and whi_ch contains the hill of Jonah has
hitherto been supposed to include the whole
extent ofthe city of Nineveh. But M. Bot-
ta considers it more probable that the space
was only the great court of the palace.
whilst the city extended as far as the hill of
Korsabad. a distance of five caravan stages.
This conjecture accords with the possibility

Instructed.——Though victorious in the
nation. our opponents must not forget that
they are thoroughly whipped in Connecticut
--and that their four members of Congress
from this state are instructed to sustain the
Protective System. An overwhelming ma-
jority of the people have approved of that
system, and we do not believe they will re-
verse their decision next Spring. On the
contrary we should hardly be surprised if
the present Whig majority should be in-
creased at that time. by thousands of recently
deluded detnocrats.-Palladium.

A U S. Senator Challenged —Yestt-rday.
when Col. Benton offered his vote at the
Fourth ward poll, we understand it was
challenged by a whic. who thought (we
think properly) that a U. S. Senator was no
more than any man in an election. The
exception. we believe. was upon the ground
that the Senator was nota citizen of the
State; be. however. was sworn. and upon his
statement that be considered St Louis as his
place of residence. he was p('l’tItil-It'd to vote.
It is something singular to see the represen-
tative of a State compelled to swear whether
he is a resident of the State or not.

Betting on Election.---A propose of bet-
ting——liere is it specimen frotit a Michigan
paper. which is the h-st bet on election we

‘The stakes shall he the parties; it‘ Clay is
elected, I win and marry the gentleman who

Henry Clay. like James K. Polk. been as
silent as the grave when questioned as to his
opinions. and suflercd every latitude of country
to have a diffc-rent ifizerpretation of his political
faith. we should have not seen what we now see.
James K. Polk tirade President by a nominal
majority of B few thousand votes. but Henry
Clay the President ofthe People. in his place.
A pure ballot box would have secured its this
great public gnod.and even without that we
should have seen the like result. had not our

cliristian virtue of doing unto others as they
would have others do unto thetn—or the more
manly virtue ofan honest confession ofcreeds-—
or had they acted up to the principle that rogues
adopt of being honest among ilte.-mselves—-we
should have seen Henry Clay President. But
we have not been so fortune as to have seen
any cunimenduble course of conduct among
our opponents. Some there are who started
honestly In regard to the Texas and Tarifl ques-
tions; but ere long, as with the Evening Post,
consistency and integrity of character proved
l0.5lI'lg lioriesry. and they abandon their high
position. and sink ten times deeper than those
wlio,inaking less pretension.vvereenab|cd-to pre-
serve more character.
There are some peculiarities in the result we
are considering. A party has triumplted with-
oul a principle to stand upon. Discordant ele-
ntents have combined to overthrow a common
good. The abolitionists have made a Southern
man President, and the Southern man expects
to repay them by enforcing it. rrieasure against
which they manifest hostility. The high
Tariff State. of Pennsylvania has given her vote
to an anti Tarifi candidate fiir President. It
remains to be seen what. such :5 coalition. cm-
bracing the exltrcmeslofan opinion. can aocotn
plish.
James K. Polk is President. and Henry Clay
is a private citizen. _The one remains at Ash-
land, and the other goes to \Vashington. The
hearts of an intelligent people will cluster
around the private citizen, in grateful remem-
brance for a long life devoted. Iiflllflftlllfibd un-

clear enough to‘ appreciate the excellence of
patriotism. and the greatness of wisdom. and a
heart warm enough to cherish a public servant
whose whole lifelias adorned the history of his
country. Henry Clay will live in the hearts of
his countrymen. Ht! has had friends who have
loved him better than a brother. He has tons

and cry "well done thou good and faithful

more as we contemplate him in his present posi-

ir umphed over him. There will be more trite
honor at Ashland tltan in the mansion ofthe
