We see a government that is aiming to reduce the
common people, or working classes, down to the
crsde of European serfs !
? We see a government that says to the people in
their distress “ YOU ARE ASKING TOO
MI'CH” —“you must TAKE CARE OF YOUR
SELVES.” In short, sir,—
\['e see a government that has passed out of re
publican principles,and become an ARISTUCnAT-
JcaL despotism !
I believe, sir, that the people “ will take care of
themselves Mr. Van Buren has made too heavy
a draft on what be supposes to be their ignorance
and want of inlormation, and want of virtue. I
am aware that it is believed by the purest moral
ist?, that the measures of the late and present ad
ministration have been, and are demoializing to
an a arming extent, but there is still virtue and in
formation enough left with the people to right the
ship of state— and it will be done.
Hut. as the truth may be disagreeable to you, I
will not trouble you much longer. Before closing,
however, I must take the liberty to say, that I am
, no lder man than Mr. Van Ruren, but I would
of him with all the respect the nature of the
fJ se will admit, from the respect I owe to the of
•ce which he occupies. I understand him, howev
er well; and the people begin to understand him
alio if you choose to take the trouble, you may
inform him that my commission as a deputy Post
master is ready for cancelling whenever he sees
fit (“for opinion's sake"J to have it done. You
may also inform the President if you please, that
there is no office in his gill—not even a mission to
Russia, which seems to be the standing bribe —that
would induce me to support his measures.
And now, sir, not to tender 3 011 a respect which
Ido not feel. I subscribe myself,
JOSEPH KINGSBERY.
To Amos Kenpali., Esq.
p. S.—You plead proverty , sir, and say that a
salary of six thousand dollar a years was not suf
ficient to support y ourself and fatniiy—and as I be
lievc that 1 have a right to frank a letter of my
own writing, if it dot s not contain more than two
sheets, I shall, out of charity, frank this to you.
With respect to your •* Address" and “ Prospec
tus,” I have my doubts whether the law would
allow me to frank it under cover. I shall there
fore wait your instructions in what way I am to
return these precious articles. J. K.
® Mr. Vau Ilmen’s Army Project.
The writer of this article was one of the very
first to denounce in emphatic terms through the
columns of the “Empire State” the project of
the Administration. We looked upon it as un
constitutional, and one of the most extraordinary
movements ever made by any administration
claiming any affinity to Democracy ! And the
more we reflect upon it, the more objectionable
,t appears.—Just look at the measure stripped of
the ornaments of rhetoric given to it by Mr. Poin
sett ! The proposition was—
1. To enroll every white male citizen between
the ages of 20 and 45.
2. That within three months every one should
arm himself at his own expense
3. That within a given time 100,000 should
be’dratted for actual service /
4. That another 100,000 men should be con
stantly kept armed and organized.
5. That this body of 100,000 should he kept
up by constant drafts from the whole body of the
citizens enrolled.
G. That the Union should be divided off into
ten great military districts—Buonaparte fashion.
7. That the President may call out, whenever
he chooses, in their districts; the whole of this
body of 100,000 men twice a year.
Whi e thus in the field, this army of 100,
000 is under the control of the President, and
subject to such regulations as he chooses to pres
cribe !
9. If any citizen fails to march into actual ser
vice when ordered by the President, he is to be
fined not less than $0 nor more than §3O.
10. If hr refuses to pay the fine, he is
subjected to IMPRISONMENT IN CLOSE
JAIL UNTIL THE FINE IS PAID !
Such are the naked provisions of this monstrous
project of Mr. Poinsett, endorsed by Van Buren,
and condemned by the people ! T his is the pro
ject cunningly devised, by which the administra
tion hoped to fortify themselves as with the aid
of the other great measure, the Sub Treasury,
recently adopted, to bid definance to the People,
and laugh them to scorn !
General Jackson vs. M. Van Buren.
A Case in point — Negro Testimony. —From
the Louisville Journal, we gather the following
particulars.
A few years ago, a cadet at West Point was
arrested for some violation of the rules of that
establishment, and the court Martial, upon the
testimony of a free negro, one of Mr. Van Boren's
voters, sentenced him to be dismissed. The case
was carried before G?neral Jackson ; but did he
say he could find nothing in the case to require
his interference 1 No—with the indignant feel
ings of a high sould Southron, he annulled the
decision, and restored the cadet to his rank and
standing.
What say the Parlizans of Mr. Van Buren to
this 7 Is this a path pursued by his illustrious
predecessor from which the “Magician” sees pro
per to deviate! Are all had precedents to be
followed, and all good ones to he deviated from?
Or will the Democracy dare to assert that Gener
al Jackson, in this instance acted improperly !
We shall see.— Gear. Journal.
From the Tuscaloosa Monitor.
Result ol the Election in Alabama.
We are willing to say. that from the determin
ed spirit manifested by the Democratic Whigs,
previous to the election, we were prepared to ex
pect that a respectable and honorable success,
would, in several of the neighboring counties,
ctovsri their exertions; but, we are equally free
to say. that vve were not prepared for the splen
did series of successful accounts, with which the
public, for several days, have been astonished and
delighted. Every mail brings us fresh evidences
that the people of ißoutli Alabama, especially,
have rose in their majesty, and after a slumber of
several years, the true democratic spirit in our
State is waked up.—Amos Kendall’s children,
and the children of his co-workers, we helieveare
frightened; but if it were not for the hand-writing
on the wall, which has now become legible to
them, we should not witness such spasmodic
symptoms of agony and distress.
We congratulate our fellow-citizens of the
whig party of Alabama. We look forward with
Mrtamty to ti e elevation of the veteran whig of
'■he North Beno, the invariable friend of the south
e?u policy, to the Presidency: and we rejoice that
Alabama will not be wanting in her duty, and at
•he pleasing anticipation that her vote will be cast
to r him in November. We congratulate the
"bigs of the Union on the cheering prospect.
” e salute old Virginia.—the mother of men—on
’he prospect; and pledge ourselves to walk in her
f'jJH-steps; and. if we do not fully succeed, we
s hali at least make a good and advanced move to
cast *he vote of Alabami for the noble scion of
an illustrious slock.
Profanity. —What is there more disgusting
0 ’h|,yirluous man, to the man of refined sensi-
Lllu y, than profanity ! Although there are ma
"v style themselves gentlemen, that allow
to indulge in this odious practice, yet
I 'Joes not prove that it is respectable, neither
j Jes it prove that those persons who indulge in
■ arc gentlemen—hut the reverse. Whenever
* e * lfcar a man dealing out his oaths at every
and calling down the vengence of Heaven
,P°o biin in the shape of some horrid impreca
’U. vve may conclude that he is far gone in the
;a '- of ruin ; and, that unless he soon breaks
ay from his sinful course, he may be taken at
v 4
P°n his lipg. He , nav c j a( j j n h| s robes of
|( n ? bnen, hut his apparel will not take away the
[ w hich is affixed to him by using profane
ts - BUage. Is he a father 1 think for one moment
of the example he is setting before his children ;
catching every word which falls from his lips,
they soon begin to lisp forth their childish prattle
the horrid oath ; the passing traveller hears amid
their sports the boisterous laugh mixed with the
profanation of God’s hely name. It is a vulgar
habit also, for in its train follow low and obscene
jests, such as would make the ears of a virtuous
person to tingle ; how often is our decency shoi k
ed by the low ribaldry mixed with profanity
which meets our ears in passing through the
street.
In this enlightened age such a state of things
should not be. Those habits which tend to de
moralize our characters should be carefully guar
ded against, and every precaution taken, that the
rising generation may grow up a virtuous and re
fined people. Let the ladies of the land do what
they can for the suppression of the vice ; let them
debar from their society every young man from
whose bps fall profane language ; let this be done
in every case, and soon a blow will be given to
this vice that will cause it to tremble from its very
foundation. The influence of woman is great;
and upon whatever benevolent object it is
turned, it acts with a force not to be withstood.
Daughters ot America! come then to the rescue;
lend us aid in this work, and it will be accom
plished.— Olive Branch.
Thtrtt-Fitk More.—A friend in the town
of Hunter, Green county, (N. V.) who would
not deceive us, writes that thirty-five of the friends
of the administration in that town —one of the
strong holds of Van Burenism in that county—
have openly renounced the administration and
all its works. They have signed their names to
their declaration, which will soon be published.
Numbers of those who have thus renounced
have been prominent men in the Van Buren par
ty, and their withdrawal will befell. Not a sin
gle Whig in the town has gone over to the ene
my.—N. Y. Com.
Life at Watering Places.—The corres
pondent ot the Philadelphia Ledger, writing from
Cape May, gives the following as a night or rath
er morning scene in the main gallery of a hotel
there. The only happened to be awake at such
a lime. We recommend the husband to provide
himself with a duplicate key.
( Tap! tap ! tap ! in a low and gentle tone.)
(No answer.)
(Tap ! tap ' tap ! little iouder.)
(Still no answer.)
(Tap! tap ! tap! a full octave higher.)
“Who’s there 1” (in a loud,and, I thought, for
a female, a very determined voice.)
“Only me, my love;” (in a soothing loud whis
per, rather strongly contrasted witk the voice
from within.)
“Well, Mr. T , this is too much; but I
vow I won’t get up.”
“My dear, do pray rise and let me in.”
“I positively will not. I gave you fair war
ning I would not in this way be disturbed every
night. The children, you know very well, can’t
be got to sleep alter they are once woke up.” (I
could testify to the truth of this part of the con
versation.) “And this is the fourth night you
have been up half the night, playing cards and
stuffing crabs and champagne. ’Tis too bad.”
“My love, recollect; do for heaven’tsake keep
quiet, and let me in ; this is all d—d nonsense.
I mean this is perfectly ridiculous. Just remem
ber where you are, and talk lower; I’m xox
deaf.”
(After a pause—)
“My dear, there’s no earthly use in your stan
ding there. You ought to know by this time that
when I say I won’t I mean I won’t; and get
out of bed again this night I won’t— that set
tled.”
And to my mind the case was clearly settled—
the tone this was uttered in leaving little room for
hope.—After a considerable pause, during which
time the poor hen-pecked husband no doubt was
casting over in his mind what was best to be
done in the emergency—
“My love, do I rightly understand that you
really intend I shall be locked out all night 1”
“Yes, my dear, ’tis precisely my intention, and
tomorrow night you will come to bed in season
able hours.”
Scene closes.
The following morning, at sunrise, as is my
custom, I was on my way, with slippers and
gown, to bathe, when I met T parading the
piazza. Ho never gets up till the last breakfast
bell rings.
“Good morning, Mr. T , this reformation.
How came you up so soon ?”
“Why, the fact is—ha ! ha ! ha?—to be can
did with you—the—the—truth is, I am up a lit
tle earlier than common. The fact is, I didnk
sleep very well last night. The cursed musqui
toes ! The wind brought them into my window
—bit me to the d—dest. I swear I never was
bitten so before in my life.”
