H It is distinctly asserted that General Jackson was H fleeirous to guard “the interests of the industrious ■ and productive class” “AGAINST the opulent W Os the land” 1 Now we enquire, who are the in- V dtutriomi and productive class ? Who arc the 1 opulent t Those who arc industrious and pro / dutlivc are, themselves opulent, or else arc seek ing to become so! Many of those who arc most /aagßlWnlenl. are the most industrious and productive of our country ! What is the object of in pastry, if it be not amass competence and wealth ? . JWe would all be rich if we could—we are all r ’ Jelermiued to bo rich if we can! Why then shall any man raise his voice to set us against the very condition to which we aspire, and to which all our labour is directed ? We reply that wdl ts the principle of the mobocrat—the feeling of ■tone but the demagogue! If there be vveaWi in m I the country, somebody must possess it—by in -fe.j tlustry and economy, under the blessings of our S-J government, the poorest offen become rich! If wealth be a hateful thing—if to be rich, be a con st dilion against which the action of our govern ment should be directed, why should any patriot- I ic man labor to get rich ? While we are poor, ; Why should any man persuade us that those who •re rich are against us, while it is evident that we are all striving to be rich ? Who ever read of Washington or Franklin, or Jefferson, or any of the sterling patriots of our revolution, attempt r - ing to set one portion of the people against the | other ? No body I The patriotic heart is for bis whole country, and every body in it; but, it t- - fcMheen less for the mobocralit spirit of modern • democracy to appeal to the baser feelings of our I ■ -nature—to array one class of people against ano for what ?—to aid paltry demagogues to ride into office, and fatten upon the labor of IfeAnse, whom they have deluded by their, hollow- NnHUirted professions of love fur the poor. Bydut it is admitted in the above extract, that if rich suffer, the poor also must suffer! and —and what then ? “there lies the rub”! '•mftjfilMhy then, says Mr. Guicu, the po*r will attri jjvpftte their suffering to the rich, and. not to the of Jackson and Van Bureti with the HKjjrrency, and it is thus that they are, ip the lan- Htuagc of the above extract, to “secure ftc affcc- SKiuns of a majority of the people” by paisuading iwthem to attribute their sufferings to tjic rich! Is it possible that such sentiments can find sup- WKfUf' port in an intelligent community ? mr Thcie is an under-feeling—an under Cerent *•* | in this matter, which, although it speaks only pf* | in general terms of the rich and poor, never he less shews that it is an attempt to set the planter against the merchant —the agricultural ag» !is t the commercial interest. Read the above cxti,.;t again. Who have suffered most by the preacat pressure ? The merchants! The rich plant, has suffcicd no more than the poor one ; ye those who have suffered most are spoken of a: the rich. Jackson and Van Buren having ruin k cd the currency of the country, and along with i the commercial interests, are now attempting b sustain themselves by persuading the planter! “the productive class,” as Mr. Guicu corrccll terms them, that they are not injured—that the interests are opposed to the mercantile intcrcsts- Ihat the merchants are alone injured, and tin ; therefore they, “the productive class,” ought I H sustain them, Jackson and Van Buren. We a; peal directly to the honest and intelligent plan Hi ers every where, rich and poor, and ask thci how it is possible for the mcrcanlile interests I | i, e ru incd. without injuring the planting inte est a i s o ? Agriculture and commerce go hand jj an j they are companions, not enemies. A R Hf xiculturc is the foundation—commerce the s jk Superstructure of the social system. Tear aw: |l O'- foundation and the building tumbles dow SI (Mtei.i. i t take away the building and the found tion is worth but little. If the planter thriv ■T * the merchant prospers-if the merchant is ruim I how can the planter sell his produce ? What the interest of one is the [interest of the other— s, they are identical. Commerce is dependent up on agriculture to furnish the means of trade; m a ß r * cu lture is dependent on commerce to find rs • market for the productions of its labour. Look at the present condition of things-the commer cial interests of the country are prostrate—the . farmer cannot sell his cotton for any price—it lies in the warehouses like useless lumber, and . yet our demagogue rulers are calling on this class our citizens to jwtain them, because their sdtu.mal.tiwt of Iht government ha i i u . ,h. = ® Cotton has uncil tJccu at a low rice f before, but there has generally been money a enough to buy it at iu market value ; bat now, i- 80 prostrate arc the commercial interests,—so ru li ‘ nei * fbe financial concerns of the country, that , t!lfc merchants have not the means to buy it at p any price. But how is it that Gen. Jackson and Mr. Van b Buren have contended for the interest of the pro ductive class ? Mr. Guicu says by their endeav ors to establish a metallic currency !” and yet in - the same article he admits “that the eslablish -1 ment of an exclusive metallic currency in this , country is out of the question.” Here then ho t claims for them the suppoit of the laboring class - on the ground that they have endeavored to , build up a system, which he himself admits can i not he established in this country. Such are the r glorious consistencies of men who wear the t shackles which they arc bound to sub . serve, right or wrong. Two months ago, when the present difficul , ties commenced, we predicted that the friends of Van Buren, in order tc screen him from public odium, would attempt to array the planting in terc t against the commercial, by making specious i and talse appeals to them, for the purpose of crca -1 ling the belief that the two interests were oppos ed to each other. Many of our friends who heard the prediction will no doubt remember it. We trust to the intelligence of the people to put all demagogues down. From the N. 0 lice May 23. FROM MATA MORAS. Even after what wc know of the fiendish cruel ty of the Mexicans, our readers will be as tonished at the new and unheard of bar barities indicted upon American citizens captured on the high seas, as they are described in the let ters and other articles which we publish to-day The letter from Matamoras of May Ist, & that’ from Mexico, arc (rom authentic sources, and their details may be relied on. A complete state ment of these transactions has been officially com municated to the government at Washington ; and] we do hope that the most prompt and effi cient steps will be taken to obtain satisfaction fA outrages the most causeless, dastardly and ini quitous, ever perpetrated on the persons and pro perty of American cittizcns. We begin to be lieve the President has convoked Congress as much on account of the affairs of Mexico as that of the currency. Congress alone has the power to declare war. Thclrigate Constellation, the sloops of war Boston, St. Louis, Concord and Natchez, with the schooner Grampus, are to sail this day from Pensacola for a cruise on the coast of Mexico. Commodore Dallas ought to demand at the least the liberation of bis countrymen from the clutches of those Mexican tigers, at the mouth of his can non. Letteii Dated. Mexico, April 2G. The new administration have set to work on financial matters , a difficult task, as their prede cessor has acted in a manner to destroy all confi dence in government transactions. They have left no money in the treasury, and their only re sources, the maiine customs, are anticipated for several months to come. 1 learn a cabinet coun . cil was held last night, where it was proposed to borrow 2,000,000 dollars, for which the church are to mortgage a part of their property as secur ity (if they please.) This is believed to be mere ly a mild way of appropriating by degrees the ■ useless and immense property held by the priests, (the most licentious portion of the populatiion) which they have robbed of the superstitious and infatuated poor. If Bustamente has resolution to carry out this measure be will retrieve his country from fanatical degradation and misery, A revolution broke out in St. Luis Potosi about two weeks since, which I hear is daily be coming more formidable by new recruits. They have robbed a conductor from the mines of , bound to Tampico, of a large amount, and they have plundered Rubio, and others in St. Louis of a large quantity of plate and money. Gov ernment have ordered troops from several points to march against St. Louis, and it is said the troops from Matamoras are ordered back. That wily demon, the Napoleon ofSan Jacinto, is no doubt at the bottom ofall this, although his per son is snug at Manga de Clavo. You can have no idea of the execration cherished by all except his own holy clan against that devil in human shape. It is believed that the priests will kick at the measure recommended last night. They have expected it and it is well known they have been C using all their influence to excite a popular ex citement in favour of Santa Ana. A sanguinary struggle may be the result. If General Busta • mente can keep the troops on his aide he has ' nothing to fear, but there is reason to apprehend . they are bought up by the church party, who , possess the wealth of the country. *lt is very warm here, and sickly. The dry ‘ weather continues—business completely paraly ■ zed—daily assassinations and robberies, as usu (al. _ _ I Extract or a Letter dated. Matamohas, May Ist, 1837. Dear Sir—l have this moment received your letter of yesterday, and hasten to inform you that I notwithstanding all my remonstrance, the schr X Champion and cargo have liccn condemned by the district judge as a lawful prize, and the mas ter, ccrw and passengers denounced as pirates, for r which supposed offence they are to be tried by it a court martial, by virtue of a law giving the il military authoiiiy jurisdiction overall criminal , cases. The decision of the district judge appears to be founded on two decrees of the Mexican 11 government dated the 13th of December, 1835, ,l and 9th January, 1836. The former prohibits Hi foreigners from coming into the republic with m hostile intentions, or with warlike stores for the use of any of the parties who in Texas or else ? where, are in arms against the established gov- HSjernmcnt, under the penalty of being treated as ' s «piratcs; the latter closes the ports ot Texas, &c. lyl he trial was conducted in the most secret man lier, without giving the parties interested an op 2ir|;,riunity to make their defence.

Wc have obtained some particulars of the affair that took place at the Brasses St Jago, between Lieut Moore of the sloop of war Boston and some Mexican soldiers. That officer being about to land at the Brasses, several Mexican soldiers di rected the seamen in the boat not to come ashore. The lieutenant obscived that if it was a positive order he would return to his ship; if it was only rrequest he would command the men to remain in the boat. The commandant of the fort at the Brassos having requested that the men should stay in the boat, that his officers had sent the guard through mistake, and that it was not his intention to niter an insult. The next day the boat having again come a shore to gel the despatches of the American Con sul, and being inside the bar three or four Mexi cans descended from the fort and took aim at the boat without firing which so exasperated the American oficcr that he repaired to the comman dant ahd demanded immediate satisfaction for this new insult who promised to punish the offend ers. It is plain, however, that private soldiers would not have dared to offer such indignities to a foreign flag unless they had been encouraged and'instigated by their officers.——Such unmanly and dastardly wretehes will never abandon their insolence until they are flogged into good man ners. Wo have in our possession the original of the following letter, which we received by a gentle men who arrived yesterday from Pensacola. It freezes the blood to peruse such accounts as this,of the horrors committed on our countrymen by those monsters, half man, half tiger, the Mexican chiefs. The Champion is an American vessel and was taken under the American flagon the high seas. Three of the prisoners, whose suffer ings are described in this letter, arc females! Matamoras, May 3, 1837. Dear Friend—l am not allowed to converse with any one,| but I hope to see better days. We have suffered much, have been in a room 20 feet square—4s persons—the doors shut, and live animals too numerous to mention—nothing to eat for 60 hours. I wish you to publish our situation the first opportunity. They have rob bed us of every thing, and God knows whether we shall ever get clear. They say wc should have been cleared if it had not been for the Natchez sloop of war. We are miserabT. Pub lish this ifyou please. In haste, yours, N SHERWOOD. Master schr Champion. To J B Mince, master Rob Roy. The new details which we have received from private correspondents in Mexico, confirm the intelligence which wc have already given. The installation of General Bustamdnte as president of the republic gave rise to public rejoicings which continued three days. A letter from Matamoras mentions the arrival there of General Filisola, who has taken the place of General in Cheif. We also learn that the insurgents who had risen in St Luis Potosi had quitted that place for the neigehorhohd of Victoria —they amount to 700 and have peices of cannon, and the general thinks that they intend to take to the mountains. This news came by an extraor dinary courier—General Andrade had arrived at St Louis and tranquillity was said to be restored. The insurgents passing by the mines of Quato rec carried off a great quantity of silver bars.— lb. From the N. Y. hmeiican, May 23. MONEY MARKET—CITY Monday. May 22. — We hear that all the Banks are preparing a statement of their affairs for the public. This we arc glad of. It will serve to strengthen confidence in the institutions. No thing should be allowed to undermine their use fulness,so fin ns it depends on themselves; if there be any one of them in a rotten condition, it is due to the public that they should know it at once. The necessity of suspension was overrul ing. To show the wisdom of the measure in so far as the general good is concerned, it is now ascertained that the whole circulation of our six teen Banks is not ovci $5,000,000, while the uc/wa/amount of specie on hand i 52,200,000. The advocates of specie payments under the present state of things, would have sacrificed the Banks, their debtors, and the whole body of merchants, for the gratification of a mere whim. The pro portion of specie to the circulation shows a wholesome state of affairs in our Banking oper ations that will vie with any other city in the Union. We arc proud to learn also that the amount of assets over and above the liabili ties of all the Banks, are as three to one.— The publication of the statement however will show the true state of things. Meantime steps have been taken among the whole Circle not to increase their discounts beyond a fixed rate, and that rate too a wholesome one. If they take the advice of the Chamber of commerce and look to their own interests as ultimately connected with those of the public, the effects of suspension will hardly be felt. One of them is going to issue notes stamped on the back payable in specie some time in 1838—another one is in favor of some olherodd experiment, and so on to the end.— Wc do hope that the recusants will yet learn common sense in financiering. The limes will give them a good lesson ere they arc done. The news from England is mere gloomy than ever. It is now evident that no assistance wilt come hence, Wc must rely on our own endea vors and the returning wisdom of our representa tives in Congress assembled, to get us out of difficulty and check the wickedness of Martin Van Buren. There must be a jVatianul Hank. Till then we shall enjoy the precious reign of paper money. It is well for the people that the Government is at the head of the suspensions. Our domestic concerns does not improve much Wc arc on the close of a season prematurely hurried to its denouement by an undue and mor bid action of the commercial body. Hence all our transactions are more the result of necessity than of choice. From the Boston Pearl and Galaxy. POOL, THE BANDIT. Hurra! for the booty !—my steed hurra !

I’uul Clifford's Song. Chapter I. POOL’S HOLE. No section of Great Brtain is so rich in natural curiosities, as Derbyshire. The most striking objects that attract the traveller, are 1 three caverns in the side of the mountain, the ‘ largcrlof which is distinguished by the name [ of “Pool’s Hole,” and is considered one of ' the seven wonders of the Peak. Tradition tells us that tins cave received [ its name from one Pool—a notorious freeboot ; er, who, having been outlawed for his fre- J daring and cruel robberies, secreted himself here from the pursuit of justice. It is situa ( ted at the base of a lofty mountain called Coit -5 moss, near Buxton, a village celebrated for its s medicinal waters, and which has become a fa a vorite place of resort for invalids. r. The entrance into this cave is by a smal o and narrow arch—and so very low that sucl as venture into it, are forced to creep upon i- their hands and knees; but it gradually opens d into a broad vault, more than a quarter ol u mile long, and as many of the superstitious •- peasantry in the vicinity imagine, a quarter ol '■ a mile high. It is certainly very lolly a> 1 ’* shaped nut unlike the interior of a gothic* - ’> ifice. The light of the torches, as it. pier* 0 the darkness /* ally reveals to the eye oft lit • ■ visitant, the strength and solidity of the root, l * o, of an ancient cathe dra); and nrdey can easih| change the num berless glittering stulacldps into the cornice and frieze and golden arniitrave'. r A smaller cavern, which leads out on the » right hand from the mam one, is called Pool’s e chambers; which, story says, the robber inhab > ited. A fine, cool current of water passes - through the centre of it, and the sound of the • rusing waves is reverberated by the echoing ! walls. Water is perpetually distilling from the ' roof and sidafof this vault, and the drops be -1 fore they fall produce a very pleasing effect, ' by reflecting numberless rays from lights car | ned by the guides. They also from thoir pe ; culiar quality, form chrystalization of various ’ figures, like those of fret-work; &in some pla ces, having been long accumulating one upon | another, bear a rude ressemblance to different animals. s But legend has hung a charm round this [ room, which renders it an object of interest to " the curious traveller. Here, he is told the r rubber convened his band to plot theirschemes . of rapine, or sheltered them from the just ven j gcance of the neighboring nobility. Here he i had accumulated countless heaps of treasure 1 wrung fiom the helpless cottager—the unarmed wayfaring man, and the timid baron • who bought safety for hiraseif and his depen i denis, by the payment of a heavy tribute. How with his favorite followers, ho held his midnight orgies; and the cavern rung with the rude jest, the loud oath, and the ribald song ■ Pool was resolute to recklessness, ambitious of distinction, and possessed of a noble and chivalrous nature. The many anecdotes that are told of him, exhibit traits of character which convince us, that if he had been born under happier suspices, he might have been a benefactor, instead of a scouge to his fellow men. Out of these anecdotes, I hope to glean material, if not to “point a moral,” at least “adorn a tale.” Chahteu 11. Pool—The Old Crone —The Storm—The Two Prisoners—The Carousal. By tiie side of a long oaken table in the chamber of lire cavern, to which wo have al luded, sat a middle-aged man. The light of a blazing torch, that burned near him, reveal ed features, which although hard and rugged, were at the same time intelligent and com manding. His hair, which was of thesablest hue, hung in dishevelled and wiry locks over a forehead, on which passion had written its character with an iron pen. The eyes, al though partly shaded by thick brows, were large, stern and sparkling. Tne upper lip, which curled slightly, was covered with thick mustaches. His figure, which was tall, full and muscular, was clothed in a a close doublet —and be wore upon his head a small cap, which was decorated with three eagle’s plumes. The short two edged dagger, that was stuck in hia-jjirdle, the pistol that lay near him on the table, and the air of reckless daring that marked bis attitude and bearing, showed him to be the genius lad of the grim cave, in which he was sitting. In a remote part of the cavern was kindled ■ a cheerful fire, the vivid flames of which, as it ; crackled and sparkled through the dry wood, • played over the count ess stalacllies, that ■ jewelled its sides and roof. Close to the fire ■ on a low stool, sat an aged female, evidently luxuriating in the glowing warmth. Her long grey hairflowed negligently down her back ; and her wild and glassy eyes, and sunken and haggard cheeks, were frightfully distor ted by idiotcy. A short crimson cloak, which was dravn closely around her, appar ently the only garment,which was cither clean or whole. In a few moments she stretched out her long and shrivelled arms, and after waving them slowly above her head, she broke forth in a wild solemn chant, as she rocked her bo dy to and fro before the flame. The sound of her voic£ evidently interrupted the reverie of Iho mam immediately from his stool, he sauntered to the mouth of the larger cavern, and kneeling down, he crept into the open air. The wind swept in long and sullen gusts around the Peak, and in the clouds, which thro’ the day had been gathering in dense masses, as night came on, poured fourth tor rents of rain. The Thunder roared in quick and deafening peals, and at frequent intervals the livid and forked lightening, breaking from the almost papablc darkness, revealed for an instant the waves of the stream, that rushed from the mountain, and the tall and aged trees, that rocked and groaned with the storm. Sheltering himself from the violence of the rein bendath a projecting cliff, the inmate of the cave evidently waited fur the approach of some expected friends. In a lew moments the distant steady tramp of an advancing par ty, was borne faintly on the wind. The sound of foot steps drew nearer, and the glare of the lightning soon revealed a band of armed men, moving along a narrow path, seemed gu.ding their foolseps by trees and rocks, the location of which was apparently familiar to them. They soon arrived at the mouth of the cavern The watchword was passed and two of the j. band, disappearing in the cave,soon returned witli torches. The company consisted of twenty fall atbleticj fellows, completely armed I and whose swarthy complexions showed that they had oftentimes been exposed to the sun and storm. With tlicm and evidently prison ers, were a male and female. The dark, coarse gown, a rosary of most holy length, and . the shaven head, shewed that the former was a Catholic priest. The form of the latter was - shrouded by a long and richly embroidered mantle, her features were concealed by a hood and veil. “Whom have you here, good Robert!” ask ed the man whom we first saw in the cave. “A jolly, fat friar, whom we found on a pi ous pilgrimage through the neighboring val ley, praying with the mothers and making love to the daughters—and a bright eyed and rosy cheeked lassie, that we caught saunter ing among the Helds and whispering her 10, , ver’s name doubtless, to the flowers and breeze. We thought it yell to bring her to the Peak, and crown her <£jcen of our merry men.” “Enough, Robert,” replied Ihe first spoak -1 er in an authoritative tone—‘lead our boys 1 and prisoners into the inner cave, and wo ' will there talk over the doings of the day” J Slowly the band crept one by one through ! tlie narrow aperture, and llie priest and the lady followed in silence. On their entrance into the main cave the soldiers threw off their arms and outer garments, and scaled them ' selves on the long benches, that skirled its ' sides. The leader took bis place again at 1 the head of the table, and bid his two pnson ' ers be seated on stools which were placed for ' them in centre of the ring. 8 “What brings you into our region, holy ’ father I” enquired the chief of the monk. “The spiritual welfare of the people, who V H inhabit it, requires my presence; and I now di beg of you to permit me to pursue my way ?” m “Have you either gold or silver to pay’lor is your ransom ?” a “Neither.” is “Are you a brother of some rich nl^nastery >1 that will open its coffers to gain freedom for ’ j you r 'ici% rid. -T* v vLAsdl‘l in • ” it !, kr Vn unto * " T ~’—ft»t- • -,< * 4 ffl,V. ■- of man,that is uruoght into our cave, - atip cannot redeem himself with money, to e g., v i his liberty by dancing.” . Ungodly man ! would yon dare— e “Aye! dare and will. Ho, John! down s with your bag-pipes, and furnish him a merry - tune to move his legs after. The instrument s was produced, and the worthy father, making ea virtue of necessity, although.” i no rule ot courtly grace, B To measured mood had trained his pace, • gambled about with as agile a step,as the gout, > a big belly, and the rough rock bottom of the - cave would permit. His momentum was oc ■ casionally accelerated by the process of wak • ing him up ,” as his entertainers termed it, - with their sharp pointed dirks. After the i band had made merry for some time at his t expense, and the worthy friar was entirely exhausted, he was permitted to retire to a 3 corner of the cave, and rest his limbs, tell bis • beads, and console himself with the comfor ! ting reflection: that exorcise is one of the 3 best preservatives of health. ■ y The lady still remained veiled. The chief turned to her and said, ‘ Fair lady, (I take ! it. for granted, you are fair, your veil prevents • my seeing,) pardon my inquis tiveness, but f i would fain know whom I have the honor to ■ entertain? ” “The daughter of Sir William Temple—a man who never forgets a favor or forgives an injury or an insult.” “Humph.” “And who are you bold man, that dares to have me taken from my own lands, and drag ged into this den, to be made the sport of your brutal followers?” “I am John Pool, the outlaw—a name at the mention of which,bolder liearlsjllian that of Sir William Temple quake—and by whose command stronger holds, than he inhabits, have been levelled with the dust.” “Am I to judge of the ability of your men to perform such an uchicvmcnt, by the prow ess that they have displayed in capturing a de fenceless female?” “ Your taunt is just.” I regret that you were brought here; but know that Pool the bandit can bo generous at times. Although outlawed by your own kin, and hunted and hounded like a wolfby the leagued barons of , whom your father is the chief, tomorrow morn ing you shall he safely restored to your castle, 1 would fain apologise for the rude treatment you may have received from my followers, but 1 never learned to sue for pardon I fear rny longue would fail me ” The old crone had now arranged her coarse but plenteous meal, and tho banditti gather- ( ing round the table, prepared to spend tho night in gay carousal. The lady was shown i to a remote recess of the cave, curtained off ' (rom the common room, and fitted up with a good deal of attention to convenience and comfort.
