 WHIG PROSPECTS AND DoISGs.

 We copy the following from the fsiesnsa4a Er. qifef

 The "New York llerald'' says, that the Goons .sare collecting large amount of funds, and certainly so faf as tbe .snews of war are concerned, they have the advantage of the Loeoiocos. The other day Stephen Whitney, William B. Astor, and number of other leading Wings, subscribed five hundred dollars each for eeetonoering purposes, another itstalment on their shares of Clay stock, and since the commencement sof the campaign, avery large sum of money has been collected in thi. city. Aud this money goes fast enough. There are ar aanreee- dented number oi wandering mnstrels and itlnefant Whg orators oat this season. Their mouths arc 10 De fed, and their carcases elothed-taloW candies to illuminate their sila1ls, and roelats 10 amuse the boys, must be paid iof--.JuHins7 cannot De suffered to staFve gatret-and the patriotism of .Whig pnblieans does not absolutely make them SD mad ds to induce them to pour out their shrandy smashefs' for nothing. So money IS absolutely necessary, and the rich Wings do sbleed' The truth is, that the AYhies are working very hard just now 1t the com mencement of the campaign they were so confident oi sueeess-so quite certain that MT Clay would walk over the course. that they could do little besides celebrating his triumph in imagination. Nov, however. l change has come oyer the spirit Of their dream, and they begin .to act as if they thought that some eSertion IS really neees- sary in order 10 elect their 'iIIastrous leader.

 w are very much disposed to think tha. the full strength of tie Whies will not be mustered at the polls. The result of the election III Louisiana, and sol as sse car now judge ol that ill N. Carolina, leads us to oentertaln the opinion that there does not exist that pewading and exciting interest in this campaign, amongst the masses of the Wings, which will bring them out in full array, Some ol the Whig organs appear to be of the same way of thinking.

 "But still we doubt much, notwithstand- ing all this whipping and spurring whether the masses will como out with thatuniversal enthusiasm which is absolutely necessary to secure the success of thes Whig cause. And one great reason for our entertaining this opinion is, the remarkable degree of pros pefity which at present prevails It IS goinr ahead with remarlable-w we believe, we may say, unparalleled rap.litY, and so it must continue to go on. People have grown wiser by experience, and do not. look to a l change of Government, or to politicians for the elements of national prosperity. Indus- try and enterprise, with as little legislative interference as possible, are regarded as the surest and only safe and certain means of attaining national and individual prosperity. l The difference in the issues between the par ties has been considerably modified. On tho Texas question the great mass of the people. both Wings and Loeofocos, are of oae mind. None but fanatics and fools lift their voices ag'!lnst l. Some political leaders mas tfy to make capital out of this subject by magnify Ing differences 1of opinion about IS settle men, and some of them may declainl against Texas, but the anneXatioii of that territory, sooner or later, is inevitable, aud the people will go for it with unanmity.n

 ln one important respect, the Herald has overlooked the state of the country. Manu- actnrers are thrynSgat tie expenss of ar 1 riculture. Produce is low-goods are con- l paratively high. Farmers scarcely receive three or four per cent. upon their n piopertv. | Tine protected manufacturers are divieinp from tell to twenty. Such is the effect of i that unequal and oppressive system of Tariff protection, which Inc Wings have efven iss, and to which Mir. Clay is now pledged 10 adhere, having first violated his solemn pledges 10 carry olit his Compromise And yet this IS the man whom the Farmers are called upon to elect as tho President.
