The Spirit Of The Age

HERE'S THE CAT!

The Connecticut Courant, a rank federal paper, objects to President Tyler's veto, because, as the editor says, "It brings us back to the ABSURD and RIDICULOUS ground occupied fifty years ago by Mr JEFFERSON."

What will the whigs who call themselves democrats say to this? We hope they will understand, by-and-by, the old federalism of modern whiggery.

Mr Ewing, late Secretary of the Treasury, has written a letter to President Tyler, in which he calls him all manner of hard names; accuses him of double dealing, treachery, &c.

Mr Webster, who still remains in the Cabinet, has written a letter to the National Intelligencer, in which he says:

"I have seen no sufficient reasons for the dissolution of the cabinet, by the voluntary act of its own members."

This looks bad for Ewing, or Webster; one of the two; for if what Ewing says of Tyler be true, how can Mr Webster remain in the cabinet?-

However, this is, perhaps, no concern of ours; and we look very calmly upon the dog eat dog business that is going on among the federalists, these days.

The Rejection of Bela Badger.-The following is the vote of the Senate on the nomination of Bela Badger for Naval Officer of the Port of Philadelphia

Yeas--Messrs Bates, Berrien, Choate, Clay of Kentucky, Clayton, Evans, Mangum, Miller, Morehead, Porter, Simmons, Smith of Indiana, Southard, Tallmadge, White, Woodbridge-16.

Nays--Messrs Allen, Archer, Benton, Buchanan, Calhoun, Clay of Alabama, Cuthbert, Fulton, Henderson, Huntington, King, Linn, McRoberts, Merrick, Mouton, Phelps, Prentiss, Rives, Sevier, Smith of Conn., Sturgeon, Tappan, Walker, Woodbury, Young-25.

The feds take the second veto and the dissolution of the cabinet, like whipped spaniels. They are, all at once, the most indifferent and cool fellows that ever lived. When the first veto came they wished "Captain Tyler was in ---;" but now they say they "don't care a d-n" what becomes of things. Keep cool, gentlemen.

Massachusetts votes on the 2d Monday in November. The democrats have in nomination MARCUS Morton, for Governor; and HENRY H. CULLINS, for Lieut. Governor. A glorious ticket and one that will trouble "honest John Davis."

To be heard from,-the election in Maine, by the federal papers.

New Orleans Election.—An election for three Representatives to the State Legislature was held in New Orleans a few days since, to supply vacancies. Two whigs and one democrat were elected; a whig loss of one member. This reduces the whig majority in the Legislature to four.

Savannah Geo.—At the election of City Officers on the 6th inst., the democratic ticket was defeated.
