Never was an army or pany so completely routed as the Old Republican (Locofoco pha ianax. which has stood up in the defence of the Administration. Our numbeis are thinned down to a Corporal's Guard, and we fight not for vic tory, but or existence as a party. Treason, unprin cipled ambition, persona! pique and other causes, have all contributed to this result, and it is scarce ly now an act of candor to admit, that we (the party.) are beaten, betrayed and delivered over to the spoliers of the Constitution. We depend ed in the outset upon the great and equal princi ples avowed by trie administration —its Southern doctrines, and when the pet Banks' pets. Rives and TaimaJge, went over to the enemy, we wait ed the thunoer from the Democratic States of Virginia and New York ; but that thunder came in the shout of approval. We relied upon this measure and upon that: we fell back from State U- tate; we have hoped against hope, and now Maine, hitherto faithful Maine is coming up into the line with our enemies. Georgia, our well loved and native State, has slid away from tne Republican (Locofoco) ranks, and pitched her tents in the Grand Whig encampment along side of Massachusetts, and Connecticut, and Rhode Island, In looking over our vast country, there is scarcely a State or district free from the cor rupting taint of whiggery—scarce one spot on | which the patriot eye can rest, or cf which he can say," here are cherished in their original pu rity, the principles of the Constitution of Jef ferson and of Madison.” South Carolina alone, is erect, stern and incorrupt.tile. The game is up—it is useless to fall back from individual States, upon me intelligence, the reason, the sober judgement of the mass—the people are drunk, cider mad. and their moral countenances peering through the cracks of their mimic log cebms, give no hope for the salvation of the coun try. « The Intrepid Duncan.

I am warrantei In the use of tLn? language by the recent treat me at of the gallant Van Rec-se iaer. The army having little communication w.:a their countrv xes. could at this lime and I none for a long lure yet to come, be brought to act w.th effect in the soppo.t of me illegal preten sions of a Pres.dent only when public opinion „ad neen p re pared by some corrupting influence operating immediately up-on the peopre.

No one can. I dunk, doubt that an influence thus powerful, brought into conflict w.tn the freedom of elections, most necessarily result ia tne entire control of those elections, by the power which wields that influence at its pleasure. The remedy for ihisevii. so pregnant w,;h danger t: •Ri -i c, would mo re properly be iound, as I have said, ia legislative provision. But in default of that, by a deciaa don from a President, thr.kirg as I do, that -he would not attempt lo influence the elections by ti e people of the Stale Legislatures, nor suffer the federal officers under his control to take any olh er part in them thau by giving their own votes when they had the right of voting.” But wniist I would, by the measure I have recomm flded, free the cout itry from the danger ous influence of the federal government operating upon the freedom of eiectio ns, lam prepared t» give a decided negative ans ver to your eleventh questi .m as follows; “I llh. Do you believe rh u a capable and faith ful public officer ougiit to be removed from office for opinion’* sake.” No indeed Whilst I w oaid guard, as above stated, the freedom of erect; >ns from the influence of the General Governmec t. tnrough H« regions of officeholders. I would elevate the officeholders themselves from their deg raded con ition. (the minions of power—tne inre ruments for executing a master's will,) to tne proud rank of American citizens—restoring to them their unaliena le right of exercising the elective Franchise under no re sponsibility but to their G od and their conscien ces. iby no means wish to say that the condi tion of all or even a cons iderabie portion of the present officeholders is su ;h as I have described ; but if tire system of proscription now in operation is continued, there can be no doubt that ere long no independent men will be left tm*ng them. I must ask from my fri ends a candid examina tion of the principles adv anced in my letter lo the New York Commit .ee. and a reference to those of the Declaration of Independence and to the fact also that I was >orn and educated in a rotate, in the constitution of which there was an article declaring that the Legislative. Executive and Judicial departments of the government should be forever separate and distinct.” For the manner which the veto power given by the constitution toffie Presidentof the United States should be exercised, I refer you to my let ters to Messrs.

Prompt Reply.—Dr. Duncan, in a letter lo the democracy of his district, says. -Gentlemen' if vou desire, I will serve you again in CongressS.’. Last wees a majority of the true Democracv gave him leave to stay at aome. —Democratic Press, Studt.—One of the great defects of seif-train ing at the present day is. that there is much more reading than stuay. Both of these are indis pensable in their proper relations, but either of them can lake place of the other. Reading is necessary to furnish us with tne tacts of p.resecl ana former ages; it gives us the materials of tboi ght; it directs our minds, wnhoat much ef fect on our pan. into new and delightful chan nels, and thus pence's our taste and forms our style; anu it affords, ala cheap rate, a high and mental luxury. But reading is not studv. A man might read a world of books, and* good books, too, and yet not possess the shadow of a ’ claim to scholarscip A trained mind, a thor oughly educated mind, is the product onlv of study. Every person should devote some portion ol his time to the acquisition ot a definite branch of know ledge, and he snould set about it with a lull purpose to master the subject; and he wouin thus superinduce in se ba its of mental pr nciple and selt-control—that felicity in consecutive in quiries, w rich prepare him to grasp, and anaivse and comprehend other subjects. This is a busi ness that every man must do for himself. No school or college can perform it for him, no learn ! ed professor er public lecturer can point out anv royal road to these attainments. Bit I must I add. that there is much more light reading at the present day than solid. M e live in an age of book making, and it would be but common praise to sav that the p*o ductions of the age are read.—they are literaiiv devoured. But many of these productions are of a light and trivial character, and succesive ones are becoming more so. The popular novels of the day . tor example, began with the - Great Un- Known. and they are likely to end, if an ever i lasting thread could have end. with the w Rings ol every •* little well known en both sides ofthe Atlantic. For these effusions, and those of cer tain modern bard- who bi d wdipped the materials of poetry into froth and foam, tae standard En glish classics in prose and verse must be laid a side; and tnese mere comets—vou mav add. ola z.ng. it you please, tor they afford not onlv scin tilations, but flames of genius now and then— are to be intellectual polar stars to direct on the .ac ocean of life the bark that carries the rising generation. Ihe whole class of writings which constitute what may be called the - Pickwick” literature, while u contains fine touches in that kind of description in which it abounds, is of verj doubtlul intellectual tendenev.
