Being shut off from a hearing by them, we must ask our real friends for that justice which is refused to us uy our pretended ones. If the writer designed to convey the idea. that we had refused his communication a place in our colamns.it is an unqualified and wilful falsehood, for we never saw the communication until we read it in the Constitutionalist. In the communication wo find the following sentence: The drop-scene of the drama is down, nor will we raise it, unless forced to show you into whose unholy “ embraces ” you have thrown yourselves, nor will wc attempt to inquire, or inquiring, expect to be answered, how or by **’hat Ipotent charms you and your friends have been operated on so as to create so much “ new zeal ” in the confidence of one whom you denounced as un worthy of any confidence. Now we challenge “a Van Buren State Rights man,” or any of his friends, to produce a word or sentiment that ever emanated from our pen, denouncing General Harrison as unworthy of confidence.

The encroach ments made by Mr. Van Buren and his; band of spoilsmen upon the constitution, and the immense increase of the executive power and patronage, have awakened the same spirit in the people now that burnt in the breasts of our fathers in ’76, and it will not be put to rest again until the usurpers are put down. —Y. Times. Among the many unanswerable reasons as signed for the Declaration of Independence—for shaking off the yoke of Great Britain, aie the fol lowing : “He has erected a multitude of nei» offices, and sent hither swarms of officers to harrass our people and eat out their substance." “ For quartering large bodies of armed men among us." And Van Buren is now treading in the foot steps of George the Third, of Great Britain—and has executed, or is endeavoring to execute, the very measures which excited the indignation of our fathers in ’76— and which led directly to a separation from the mother country. That swarms of hungry office-holders harrass the people and eat their substances, and rob the treasury chest, is a notorious fact. It is also equally well known, that Mr. Van Buren is endea voring' to establish a standing army among ns! And yet there are those who laud Mr. Van Bu ren for his Dbxocract, and seek to create a pre- judice against Gen. Harrison, by calling him an aristocrat! After all, words are of little consequence. It is the signification attached to them, which does the evil or good—and if Mr. Van Buren is a ster ling democrat —if the policy so detrimental-to the interest of the country, which he has pursued, and is still pursuing, is the true democratic poli cy—why, then, say we, we want no such democ racy—but would a thousand times prefer that pol icy and those principles, which our misguided fathers were always taught to regard as democra cy. Let us rally under the standard of Harrison —let us elect men to office who cherish the hon est and patriotic principles which warmed the he roes of ’76. Such is the democracy of the friends of General Harrison.- The Mails. The frequent complaints of the non-reception and delay of our papers, induces us again to to say to our friends that the fault is not with us. Our papers are always regularly directed and put into the Post Office, in the city, after which we have no control over them. If we knew any means by which the evil complained of, could be corrected, we should most assuredly resort to them, but we know not how to proceed, or where the fault exists. Martin Van Buren, vs. Poor Men. Mr. Van Buren not only originated but warm ly advocated a most odious and insulting restric tion of the right of suffrage in the New York Convention in 1821. We quote from his speech on that occasion, in Holland’s life of Van Buren, page.lß7, as follows; “ Mr. Van Buren said that as the vote he should now give on what was called the highway qaalification, would be different from what it had been on a former occasion, he felt it a duty to make a brief explanation of the motives which governed him. The qualifications reported by the first committee were of three kinds, viz : the payment of a money tax, the performance of a militay duty, and working on the highway. The two former met with his decided approbation ; to the latter he wished to add the additional qualifica tion, that the elector should, if he paid no tax, performed no militia du'y, but offered his vote on the sole ground that he labored on the high ways, also be a householder. To effect this ob ject he supported a motion made by a gentleman from Duchess, to stiike out the highway qualifi cation, with a view of adding householder. That motion (he continued,) had prevailed by a majority of 20. But what was the consequence 1 The very next day the same gentleman voted that every person of 21 years of age, having a certain term of residence, and excluding actual paupers, should be permitted to vote for any of fice in the government, from the highest to the lowest, far outvieing in this particular, the other States in the Union, and verging from the ex treme of restriction, to that of universal suffrage. The question then, (said Mr. V. 8.,) recurred: shall an attempt be again made to add that of householder to the qualification, ana run the hazard of the re introduction of the proposition of the gentleman from Washington, abandon all qualification—throwing open the ballot boxes to every body—demolishing at one blow, the dis tinctive character of an elector, the proudest and most invaluable gift of freedom. “ Mr. Van Buren said he had, on the motion of (he gentleman from Columbia, this day hinted at the numerous objections which he had to the proposition which the other day passed the con vention, in regard to the right of suffrage; ob jections which he intended to make, had the committee reported in favor of that vote; and by which, when fully urged, he knew he would be fully able to convince every member of this com mittee of the alarming tendency of that precipi tate and unexpected prostration of all qualifica tions. At this moment he would only say, that among the many evils which would flow from a wholly unrestricted suffrage, the following would be the most injurious, viz : First—lt would give to the city of New York about twenty-five thousand votes; whilst, under the liberal extension to the right on the choice of delegates to this convention, she had but about 13 or 14,000. ’That the character of the in creased number of votes would be such as would render their elections rather a curse than a bless ing: which would drive from the polls all sober-minded people —and such, he was happy to find, was the united opinion of the delegates from that city.” We might quote much more, but it is unne cessary. Enough has been extracted to illustrate Mr. democrat Van Buren’s notions of the right of suffrage. We will only add that he, Mr. Van Buren, who was so fearful lest the poor high way laborer should have the right of suffrage, recorded his vote, in the same convention, in support of an amendment to the constitution of New York, permitting negroes, worth two hun dred and fifty dollars, to vote ! (Holland’s life, page 187.) He would not permit the poor la borer to record his suffrage, but would say to the negro worth $250, “ vote sir.”— Steubenville Herald. From the N. Y. Commercial Advertiser June 22. Abolitionism. Our readers have already been informed of the disastrous conflict among our neighbors the abo litionists, during their late anniversary in this city, which has been followed by a similar explo sion in New-llaven —in both instances the party having devoured each other, after the manner of the Kilkenny cats, and all at the instance of the “ female brethren,” both white and colored, with Garrison and Miss Abby Kelly at their head. In the New School General Assembly, at Phil adelphia, the like ill-starred destiny has attended the parly, and even their old ally Dr. Cox, hav ing “ come to himself,” has led the van in giving them the go-by with indefinite postponement. At Baltimore, since the session of the General Conferrence, we learn that Methodist abolition ists have not only cut their own throats, meta phorically but their leader has written the epitaph of the faction. And as “ thereby hangs a tale,” which is too good to be lost, we have taken pains to come at the facts. It seems that this leader laid before the confer ence a long list of names to an abolition petition which he affirmed was from eleven hundred mem bers of the Methodist Episcopal Church in the citv of New York and its vicinity. Now it so happened that certain New-York clergy who were present, on looking at the names, discovered that some hundreds of them were the names of fe males, and knowing even that some were children of tender age, and that others were not members of the church, while more than one color was detected, they strongly suspected that some trick had been played off, and therefore sent the ori ginal memorial back to New York for investiga tion. In a few days it was returned to Baltimore with a protest signed by a large number of min isters and official members of the church in New York, accompanied by certificates and other vou chers, demonstrating that the memorial abound ed with frauds. This protest being read in open conference, produced great-indignation among honest men of all parlies. The following are a few of the frauds set forth by the protest, and proved by the evidences annexed: — Ist. A pioporlion of the names were signed twice, so as to count double. 2d. Many of the names are fogeries. 3d. Hundreds of the name* were obtained to a temperance petition, and having been torn off, were attached to this abolition petition. J 4th. Many of the signers are members of other churches, or members of no church, and some of them are known to be unfit for member ship in any church. sth. Some of the signers ?re colored people, and more of them children. 6th. Many of them are fabrications, both name and residence being fictitious. 7th. Numbers are know to live at a distance from the city, and even from the state. Bth. Some are persons long since cxcotamu nicated from the church as unworthy of mem bership. 9th. Some are ascertained to be of profligate and abandoned character, one of them having been only a few weeks out of the state prison, and since recommitted to jail for felony. The protestants prayed that this memorial might be rejected by the Conference for the rea sons alleged, it being a libel on the church in New York, and an imposition on the General Conference. And it was urged as highly proba ble that all of other kindred memorials from oth er places were of the same character. This last allegation was denied, of course. The protest, after being read and commented on in terms of just reprobation, were referred to a committee, who made a report declaring the protest to be fully sustained, and the abolition! memorial from New \orktobean imposture, un worthy of the smallest degree of credit or confi dence. We learn that the whole strength of the abo lition party in the General Conference, as ascer tained by a test vote, was eighteen, while the number of that body is one hundred and forty four. ft is plain, therefore, that from the Metho dist Episcopal Church abolitionism has every thing to fear, and nothing to hope. The of the Bishops which have been published, and. the action of this body, which is their highest, court of appeal, alike show that the party are; utterly powerless in that denomination. Meanwhile, the split in the ranks ot the Amer ican Anti-slavery Society, on the great question; of woman's rights , has so divided and scattered the party that their sorry figure entitles them to commiseration. For they are not only bankrupt by their official acknowledgement, having sunk SIO,OOO on the Emancipator alone, over and above all their receipts ; but they have been ob liged to stop all their presses, recal all their agents,, and publicly confess their insolvency. Moreover they have be< n shut out of the Tabernacle, which they built, and nearly every church in the city,, which was formely open to them, and at their late anniversary were obliged to occupy a small building, much against their will, and in a remote part of the city. And now that the highest ec clesiastical assemblies and conferrences, of nearly all denominations of Christians, are becoming so weary of their proceedings as to refuse giving them any quarter, and so many of their ablest champions are, like Dr. Cox and Mr. Kirk, ab juring their ultraism, they begin to demand sym pathy, which ought not to be withheld. And if they are let alone a little longer, we need no spirit of prophecy to predcit that the verdict of the grand inquest will be recorded by the significant words “ ftlo de se." No man need henceforth strike a blow at abolitionism, for in America it will die. as every other species of fanaticism is destined to die, by sucide. Desj airing of prolonging the agitation in this country, either in church or state, a few of the master spirits have sailed for England. From the Charleston Courier. Bank and Anti-Bank.—We have recently met with the following testimonial from Mr. Cal houn, as late as 1834, in favor of a National Bank. It will be seen that he claimed a large share in the paternity of the late U. S. Bank, and asserted its single usefulness in our commer cial and financial concerns. In what a strange antagonism he now stands to his former position —the closing extract, below shews that he now wages a war of extermination against the bank ing system, and is for annihilating all banking pa per. In 1834. Mr. Calhoun made the following re marks on the removal of the deposits by General Jackson: “ I might say, with truth, that the Bank o-ves as much to me, as to any other individual in the country ; and I might even add that, had it not been for my efforts, it would not have been char tered. “ It is said that the Bank had no agency, or at least no efficient agency, in the restoration of specie payments in 1817, and that it has failed to furnish the country with a uniform and sound currency, as had been promised at its creation. Both of these allegations! pronounce to be with out just foundation. To enter into a minute ex amination of them would carry me too far from the subject, and I must content myself with say ing, that having been on the political stage with out interruption, from that day to this—having been an attentive observer of the question of the currency throughout the whole period—that the Bank has been an indispensable agent in the restoration of specie payments; that without it. the restoration could not have been effected, short of the utter prostration of all the moneyed ins ti tutions of the country, and an entire depreciati on of bank paper; and that it has not only restored specie payments, but has given a currency far more uniform, between the extremes of the co un try, than was anticipated, or even dreamed of at the time of its creation.” A Correspondent of the New Era Reviv ed r thus refers to Mr. Calhoun’s new sentiments on the subject: “ There is no man in America more decidedly opposed to the whole scheme of a paper currency than he. While Mr. Benton goes only for the? suppression of bank notes under one bund red dollars, Mr. Calhoun goes for the utter ex tinction OF AU BANK PAPER WHATEVER. H® remarked to me, a few evenings ago, in a priv ate conversation, that he was perfectly satisfied that we should never have a sound state of commer cial prosperity, until the whole of the b ink paper circulation was aboltshed. He il lustrated and enforced these views with that vigor and clearness for which he is so pre-emi nently remarkable.” From the Wilmington Chronicle. We beg the particular attention of the re ader to the following: By the 17th section of the Bill providing for a re-organization of the militia of the U. States, the President is authorized to call forth and as semble such numbers of the active force thereof, i at such places within their respective districts, ! and at such times not exceeding twice, nor days in the year, as he may deem necessary; and during such period, including the time when go ing to, and returning from, the place of rendez i vous, they shall be deemed in the service of the i United States. By the 20th section, the militia when thus in the service of the United States are to be subject to “ the same rules and articles of war as troops of the United States > Now, perhaps few are acquainted with the . rules and articles of war. Here then is article - 9th of those rules. • “ Art. 9th. Any officer or soldier who shall • strike his superior officer, or draw or lift up any i weapon, or offer any violence against him, being r in the execution of his office, on any pretence. i whatever, or shall disobey any J awful command I of his superior officer, shall suffer death, or such punishment as shall, according to the na l tureof his off nee, be inflicted upon him, by the sentence of a court-martial.” Thus it appears that any soldier who shall ( strike his superior officer on anyprelence what ever—no matter what or how great may be the provocation—-the grossest of insults to his wife— ! the most tyrannical treatment of b’teseii' —if hi j dare to resent it, and strike a petty sergeant oi a I corporal, he SHALL SUFFSJ? DE iTH. And to all this Mr. Van IJijren has given hi c sanction, for he said, “ I car not recommend too strongly to your consideration the plan for the organization of the militic, of the U. >7 aits.'' General riarrison was ?n v ut punishing in certain cases, thieves and other criminals by whipping them.

Smith : Sir :—A number of citizens of Baldwin and Scbago, who have ever been members of the re publican party, and have supported Presidents Jackson and Van Buren —but have been compell ed by the measures of the latter, most reluctantly to withdraw from his support—have decided to hold a political meeting on the 4th day of July next; at which they wish to have old republican principles set forth, and the leading features of the policy of the present administration candidly discussed ; and on their behalf we invite you to be present, and to address the meeting on that oc casion. Signed, ISAAC DYER, and 42 others. Yau Buren, Benton and Duncan vs. the People. People. We wish you to give us the “ better currency,” you promised us. Van Buren.

You will find them plenty after Mr. Van Buren is re-elected. People. How shall we get relief from the evils of a depreciated and “ irredeemable ” cir culating medium 1 Duncan. Go home and work harder and live more economically, and relief will be your re ward. A Pitiful Trick. —ln 1820, there was an election for Governor in Ohio. To the re-elec tion of Governor Brown, there was no regular opposition. General Harrison was not a can didate. Some voters were dissatisfied with Brown, and voted for Governor Morrow, and some for General Harrison—4346 votes were in that way thrown for Harrison. In his own county, and in nine others, he did not get a vote—in 14 counties more he got 74 votes! These votes were returned to the department of State, and counted before the Senate. The statement of them is now paraded in the Globe, as official evidence from the Journal es the Senate, of General Harrison’s want of popularity at home 1 In what contempt the Globe must hold the people, to expect any man of common sense to believe that General Harrison, being a candidate for office, could not get one vote in 10 counties, and only 74 votes in 24 counties!— Cin. Gaz. Ons. Term.—One term of the Presidency is now all the cry, and General Harrison is known i to be devoted to that principle. In the language of the Whig address, it will make the Chief Ma gistrate the President of the nation by depriving him of a party —compel him to be honest by withdrawing the temptation to be vicious—force him to administer the government as the honest agent of a free people, and not as a guilty parti san, by depriving him of the hope and consola tion of a re-election. Nothing could be more ef fectual in arresting the tide of corruption which is overwhelming us, and bringing back the gov ernment to its original republican simplicity and purity. Let the cry then, of One Term, go round.— Staunton Spectator. The Revenue. —By a report from the Treas ury Department, presented in the House of Re presentatives on Friday, it appears that the na tional revenue, tor the six months ending on the Ist of July, is but $7,520,829 ; ot which $6,091,- 951 are for customs and $1,396,202 from lands. Amount collected from deposite banks, $522,- 628. This amount is greatly below the receipts of former years, and below the national expendi ture. So much for the sub-treasury, even while only in prospect. — JVcw York Commercial Ad vertiser. More Backing Oct. —Mr. Teley, the Van Buren candidate for Lieutenant Governor of In diana, has followed the example of the adminis tration candidate for the same office in Kentucky, and withdrawn from the canvass. Another of the Van Buren Electoral candidates in Missis sippi, (Chapman Levy, Esq.,) has declined— making three in that State—(Judge Quitman, Col. Claiborne, and Chapman Levy, Esq.,) who have backed out from the Van Buren ticket within the last two months. This is almost as bad as the deserters from the Electoral ticket in Tennessee.— N. Y. Express. Selling White Men. —The slanderers of Gen. Harrison term his friends Britisn Whigs, but are themselves the retailers of the slanders of their co-laborers, the British Tories. The Ohio Miamian states that the charge of selling white men into slavery, was first made against Gen. Harrison in 1821, by a writer of one of the Cincinnati papers. This infamous slan derer was an ENGLISHMAN, who had been ta ken with Proctor, by Harrison, and hence his enmity. He now holds an office under Mr. Van Buren, and is thus paid for his abuse of the gal | lant ola General. From the Otsego (N.

Removal of Napoleon’s Remains. Mr. Walsh, in a letter to the Editors of the National Intelligencer, enters into the following speculations upon the subject of the removal of Napoleon’s remains, previous to its introduction into the Chamber of Deputies by the Premier : The translation of Napoleon’s remains from St. Helena to Paris is among the revived topics. A petition for that end was lately treated with so much favor by the Peers, as to be referred to the President of the Council, while they passed to the order of the day on a prayer for the admis sion of the Bonaparte family into France. Thi ers, it is said, would himself promote the measure, in order to win glory and popularity for his min isterial era; and the King, from a kindred motive, might not refuse to send the Prince de Joinville with a small squadron, for the conveyance of so precious a treasure. England, moreover, could have no reason for refusing a boon which the French Government feels domestic strength enough to seek; and her allies, who claimed the captive as equally theirs, have, at least, no deep er stake in the question. We hear and read these things, but I doubt that the Premier, or Louis Phillippe, or the allies, have yet any design or inclination to incur the risk, for God only knows what might be the height or direction of the ex citement which the arrival and consecration of these relics would produce in France or Paris, or the number and variety of the tempts, for which the presence cf cm*hi deemed auspicious according to new circin „ ces of political condition.

Majesty ik Law.—The following beautiful eulogy on “the law,” is extracted from an article in the Southern Literary Messenger:— The spirit of the law is all equity and justice. In a government based on true principle, the law is the sole sovereign of a nation. It watches over its subjects in their business, in their recreation, and in their sleep. It guards their fortunes, their lives, and their honors. In the broad noon day and the dark midnight, it ministers to their secu rity. It watches over the ship of the merchant, though a thousand leagues intervene; over the seed of the husbandman, abandoned foi a sea s son to the earth ; over the studies of the student, . the labors of the mechanic, the opinions of every . man. None are high enough to offend with im punity—none so low that it scorns to protect , them. It is throned with the king, and sits in t the seat of the republican magistrate, but it also 5 hovers over the couch of the lowly and stands sen t tinel at the prison, scrupulously preserving to the felon whatever rights he has not forfeited. Tne light of the law illumines the palace and hovel, f and surrounds the cradle and the bier. The strength of the law laughs wickedness to scorn, and spurns the intrenchments of iniquity. The power of the law crushes the power of man, and f strips wealth of unrighteous immunity. It is the thread of Dandalus, to guide us threugh the lab l yrinth of cunning. It is the spear of Ithuriel, 1 to detect falsehood and deceit, ft is the faith of the martyr, to shield us from the fires of per secution ; it is the good man’s reliance ; the wlck t ed one’s dread ; the bulwark of piety, the uphol der of morality, the guardian of right, the distri butor of justice. Its power is irresistib e; its dominion indisputable. It is above and around us; within us; we cannot fly from its protec tion , we cannot avert its vengeance. Such is the law in its essence; such it would 1 be if none aspired to its administration but those * with pure hearts, enlarged views, and cultivated 1 minds. * On the passage of the Great Western, a sailor * in shifting the jib, lost his hold and fell over -1 board. The vessel went over him.
