those, began to suspect that a Yankee might prove shrewder than a Scotch shopkeeper. ■’ 'The bare suspicion of this has turned all their j mirth to mourning. The melancholy thought Yhas occurred to them that the Secretary rmight prefer to make deposited of gold and /silver in his “iron safes” rather than have j bank notes “carefully deposited in his bree ches pockets, and buttoned up;” and that, in this case, he might safely say to the banks in a rotten condition, “Noo, dom ye! break as soon as ye please.” Such a state of things would be mortal to the hopes of a party which looks for success Gnly in the embarrassment of the Government. Extra Globe. AGRARIAN, INFIDEL, LOCO FOCO. These descriptive epithets are now univer sallj' applied by the Federal press, both Whig . and conservative, to the present administration; and to all those who advocate the necessity of abiding by the constitutional currency. Eve ry section and faction in the opposition, areal ways anxious to claim the authority of the great statesmen, who have been conspicuous in American history, whenever it can be ap. plied to favor the fiauds and delusions of a pa per currency. The Whigs have generally given up the practice of referring to our pred ecessors on this subject, for they have found by investigation that, with the exeception of Gen eral Hamilton, the author of the funding sys tem, the whole current of authority is against them. But the “New Lights,” the Conserva tives, are forever prating about Washington, Jefferson, and Madison, the great apostles of liberty, as men who had been favorable to their favorite policy. Byway of c/nsolation to ourselves, and with a hope of improving them, we will sub join a few short paragraphs, extracted from the works of the celebrated men above named; by.which it will be clearly seen how far either of these celebrated characters have been in favor of a paper currency, and therefore how far deserving these slanderous appellations. We will begin with the father of his country: Gfm. Washin,"ten, in a letter to Mr. Stone, of Maryland says—“l do not scruple to declare that if 1 had a voice in your legislature, it would have been given decidedly against a pa per emission, upon the general principle of its inutility as a representative of coin, or the ne cessity for it as a medium.” In another letter to Thomas JclTerjion,Wash ington cal' i the paper money system, “foolish and wicked.” In another letter, he says, * 1 have noVu-r hoard, and 1 hope 1 never shall bear, any serious mention of a paper currency in the 'Lite. Ido verily believe that the gre ate:.;!, foes wo have in the world could not devise a m re effectual plan fur ruining Virgi nia.’* Mr. Jefferson was, if possible, s‘ ill more hos tile to paper money, than General Washing, ton; aid he avows in his writings, “that his hostility was strengthened by every year’s re flection and exp iriencc-” Mr. Madison, in the 44ih number of the Fe deralist, one of his acknowledged productions, in a long article on the subject of the curren cy, has this passage: “In addition to these persuasive considera tions, it mnv bi observed, that the same reas ons which show the necessity of denying to the i States the power of regulating coin, prove j withcqu.il force, that they ought not to be at . liberty to substitute u paper medium in the place of coin-” Patrick Henry represented paper money “as n nefarious plan of speculating.” Dr. Witherspoon was a powerful opponent to the paper money system, and ridiculed the idea that “banks made money more plentiful.” lie compared all such attempts to increase the currency “to pouring water into a jar of oil, when, as he said, the oil would rim away, and the water remain.” Luther Martin, of Maryland, says, that the majority of the Convention that formed the Constitution oftho United States, “were no smitten with tho paper dread,” that they neg atived every proposition to permit either the States, or the General Government to emit I ills ofcredit, by a vote of nine States to two. Daniel Webster the Godlike—whose audio, rity tho whigs cannot, and the conservatives dare not, impeach “The most effectual of all contrivances for cheating the laborious classes of mankind, and for fertilizing tho rich man’s field bv the sweat of tho poor man’s brow, is the State bunking system.” Henry Clay, the, “Available,” who is as high an authority with the whig and conserva. tivo coalition, as the “Godlike” himself, said in the year 1811, when opposing the renewal of the bank charter — “What4s a corporation, such ns tho bill contemplates! It is a sflexoii* association of favored individuals, taken from the mass of society, an I vested with exemption, and surrounded with immunities and privileges. Where is the limitation upon this power to set up corporations! You establish one In the heart oi a State, the basis of whose capital is money* You may erect others whose capital Consist of land, slaves, personal estates, and thus THE WHOLE PROPERTY WITHIN THE JURISDICTION OF A STATE MIGHT BE ABSORBED BY THESE PO LITICAL BODIES.* The existing bank con fiends that it beyond the powers of the State to tax it, and if this pretension be well founded, it is in the power Congress by chartering com panics, to dry up all the sources of the State revenue.” - Wo might goon and add the name of Gov ornor Rimer nnd a host of others, but it is , needless, the vile epithets of the Rag Barons cannot destroy the weight of such authorities, tor weaken our regard for their principles.— ftW Era. From tho Globa. PHILANTHROPY OF FEDERALISM. Among the insidious devices of Federalism, the most conspicuous is the “crocodile tears” it sheds over every sort of suffering it is busy in producing. The whole opposition in Con gress know that, in conformity to a most liber al treaty, for which many of them voted in both Houses, the Cherokees are bound to eva cuate Georgia in May next —they know that the Cherokees have received an ample equiv alent in money, and better lands, to induce their voluntary emigration—they know that ihe mass of the nation is ready to go—to ap propriate a new country given to them on terms which, if offered to our own people in discriminately, would at once till it with set tlers; but they know one man among them who has an interest in maintaining a sovereignty over the body of the emigrating Indians under the chiefs who favored that policy. Through the adroitness of this individual, and the igno rant who adhere to him, the Federalists are la boring to excite those catching sympathies a mong the abolitionists and other zealots in the North who know nothing of the state of facts. Among this class, political contrivers are cir culating printed petitions, to be returned to Congress, of which we give the following sam ple, which, after being inadvertently referred J to Mr. Bell’s Indian committee, he was instruc ted by the majority ofit to report back to the House that it might rid itself of the attempt to hang up the treaty, by the investigation called for by the petitioners: 11 We, the undersigned petitioners, wish to call the attention of your honorable body to the treaty recently made with the Cherokee nation of Indians. As the said treaty appears to have been made contrary to the wishes of a great majority- of the nation, among whom are the principal men, who are soliciting at your hand redress of grievances—therefore we, <1 -eply sympathising with them, do earnestly hope your honorable body will give the subject a strict investigation, and have justice dune them; fur it certainly cannot be right to force a feeble nation to submit to a treaty that was made with a few unauthorised persons; and we sincerely hope they never will be forced to submit to such treaty.” The Federal party have circulated this and similar papers, founded on their own misrepre sentations, all over the northern country, to leceive the honest, religious, well disposed, but uninformed, as to the subject presented, and to affect their minds unfavorably to the Administration. They are never told that their own Federal Senators voted for this trea ty after “a strict investigation” of all that is now alleged against it; that it was confirmed by tw-thirds in tho Senate, and sanctioned by an immense majority in the Hous;*; that it was not made with “a few unauthorized persons,” but authorized delegates, and acceded to after wards by the national council; that it is now impossible to rescind the treaty, because Ten nessee, Georgia and Alabama have already disposed of the lands acquired by the treaty; that the hope expressed in the petitions they circulate, that the Cherokees “will never be forced to submit to such a treaty” originates in no: Inng but the false views put out by them selves, through the machinations of Ross, and that they are confronted and shown to be groundless by the solemn votes of both bran ches of the Congress. Yet still to keep up this mischievous delusion—a delusion, as will be seen from the speeches of Messrs. Lumpkin, ! Clay of Alabama, Grundy, King, and others, in the Senate, is calculated to involve the recusant Cherokees in a bloody contest with the citizens of the States—we find a body- of the Federal party voting to retain the petitions, of which we have furnished a sample, before Congress, to revive discussions of a treaty of which the instant execution is imperative to preserve peace. It will be found that John Bell was support ed in his vote to keep possession of this subject of agitation, against the will of a majority of his committee, by Slade, Wise, Adams, and all the rest of the firebrands of the Federal party; every friend of the Administration, and the temperate of the other side, voting against them. Wu invite attention to the debate in the Senate, which was entirely misrepresented in the National Intelligencer; as also to the yeas and nays in both Houses, on the subject of the amendment, which will be found in the Con gressional proceedings. Horrid. On Wednesday morning lust about 11 o’clock, in the town of Claysville in Mar shall county, Nathaniel and Graves W. Steele whilst passing in a carriage, were shot dead with muskets fired from a house, in the sub urbs of the town —two other men (Alexander Steele and William Collins) also in the carri age, were wounded, the first supposed mortal ly, and the latter severely in the head. The perpetrators of this horrid deed are supposed to bo Jessee Alien. Alexander and Arthur Mcfarlane, and Daniel Dickerson, who imme diately thereafter left the place. We presume a full detail of facts and circumstances, will be handed in for publication, and therefore refrain from further notice at this time, more than to observe that the individuals killed, were them, selves of a. party who last year killed, by shooting, James M. Macfarlane and another i person, which produced great excitement and bad feeling in that large community.—Hunts ville Democrat BL4. ult. lun Rensellaer in Limbo. Gen. Van Ren ■’diner had h:s trial at Anbnrn, New York, on the 7th inst.. when the various instances of his violation of the neutral laws of the United States were fully established. Declining to give bail, ho was sent to Albany to jail to take his trial in June. Gen. Sutherland was taken to Toronto on the 12th. and his trial by court martial was to commence on the 13th; but was subsequently put off, until the arrival of the new Governor Sir George Arthur. Gen. Van Rensellaer is drawing up a full statement of “movements, doings and so on”— connected with his northern expedition, which is to be laid before the public.— Charleston Courier. Mackenzie. This gentleman, one of the leaders of the Canada Patriots, is now in New York. We learn that it is his intention to start a weekly paper in that city—something on the plan of the New York Albion, and to be devoted almost exclusively to the affairs of Canada and Great Britain. The good of wanting a Nose. A man who has lost his nose, says an old Scotch Journal, has peculiar advantages; he cannot follow his nose, but then he cannot be poking it into ev ery thing. He cannot blow his nose, but then he saves pocket handkerchiefs. He cannot be stuffed up in his nose, but then he cannot take snuff, which is, however, another saving. If he goes to sleep, you cannot tickle his nose; and when he is awake, ho cannot run his nose against a post. Let him drink what he will, he will never have a red nose; and never be exposed to the nick name of Nosey; he may defy you to pull his nose. “Sir,” said a man to another with a false nose—“l’ll pull your nose.” “Sir,” said he, “I shall put my nose in my pocket.” JOHN BASCOMDE< We saw this ‘winner of the Eclipse Saddle,’ about the last of January, and found him so much improved in appealance, that we hardly recognized him. He has filled out immense ly, and was in the finest health and spirits. A more intelligent face or brighter eye we nev er saw. The only maru about him resulting from his racing career, is his off fore leg, which is slightly sprung; every appearance of curb has vanished. Since he has been with drawn from the turf patches of white have ap. peared on bis forehead; his muzzle was al ways a mottled grey. He is quite as active as ever, and full of spirit; indeed Henderson, his faithful gioom (and rubber while on ihe turf,) thinks that if a small slit was made in his fore head, he would go through his skin when led out to take his exercise. He was taken out on the Hampton Coursejust about the time we saw him, andon being rode up to the judges’ stand, some one tapped the drum on the stand, and he bounded off like a mountain deer.— Hammond says he sometimes brings out his string of colts to sec Bascombe gallop on the track, tn hopes oftlTeir profitting by such an example! lie has a neat stable set apart for him, adjacent to the Hampton Course, with his name and -‘7:44” painted over the entab lature of his door, after the style of Henry's former stable on Long Island.— Spirit of the Times. Learning a Trade. There are many peo ple who dislike the name of mechanic, and would, rather than put their children to a trade, tug hard at their business and live sparingly, for tho sake of giving their children a college education. They think meanly of him who wears a leather apron, and is not dressed up in finery and show. This we believe is the reason why there are so many pettyfoggers and vagabonds in the world. Many a son has been sent to college, wilh the expectations of his parepts highly excited—but like the fable of the mountain, had only produ ced a mouse. We think highly of our college institutions, and rejoice to see them prosper— but we are more pleased to see an individual’s mind turned in a right current. There are hundreds of lawyers who would have made better mechanics, and have obtained a more comfortable livelihood; and there are, no doubt mechanics who would stand high at the bar, had they been blessed with a liberal education. But if a child have talents they will not re main hid; and no matter what his profession is they will sooner or later burst forth- There are many distinguished indiuiduals in the world who are bred to mechanical trades. Many of the editors of our best journals were mechan ies, and do credit to the station they occupy. And our mechanics too, generally speaking, are the most industrious part of our communi ty. They are almost always busily employ ed. But it is apt to be otherwise with profes sional men. They are often dilatory, lazy. It is an effort for them to bend their miod to a difficult pursuit. They are well informed be cause they spend much of their time in reading; but this is unprofitable business, unless we have something definite in view. Liabilities of those who takb News papers.—The laws declare that any person to whom a periodical is sent is responsible for payment if he receives the paper or makes use of it, if he has never subscribed for it or has ordered it to be stopped. His duty in such a case is not to take the paper from tho office or person with whom the paper is left, or to notify the publisher that ho docs not wish it. If papers are sent to a post office, store, or tavern, or other place of deposite, and are not taken by the person to whom they arc sent, the post master, store, or tavern keeper, Ace. is responsible until he returns the paper or gives notice to the publisher that they are ly ing dead in the office. Gable Quotem. An Ohio paper advertises for a good practicle printer, who would take the charge of the mechanical department of a printing office, read proof, make selections, scribble a paragraph when necessary, rock the cradle, dig potatoes, cut wood, and go with the gals to singing school, and neighboring quiltings. ' In a private letter from our Washington cor respondent we are informed that it is in con templation to send Gen. Scott, who has retur ned from the frontier, to take the command in the Cherokee country, with full power to en force the execution of the treaty. — Macon 7’e legraph. STEAM NAVIGATION. The following we extract from the Balti more American. “An article has been going the rounds of the newpaper press in which it is stated that the English steamer “City of Kingston,” at present lying in our harbor, is the “first steam vessel that has ever crossed the Atlantic.” I In this there is certainly a mistake. In the! ; year 1818 or ’l9, there was a steam ship' built in New York called the “Savannah,” which, after being supplied with her engines' in New Jersey, proceeded to Savannah, Ga., where she was owned. From Savannah she went under the command of Captain Rogers i to Liverpool, where she arrived after a pass age of 22 days, during fourteen of which her 1 engines were in operation. J From Liverpool she proceeded to St. Pe tersburg, and thence returned to Savannah. : The experiment being found to be unprofita ( ble, was not repeated. It will thus be seen I that our own country has the credit of having ■ been the first to apply steam machinery to the navigation of the Atlantic.' As our Ful ton was ihe first person whose ingenuity dem onstrated the practicability of propelling ves sels of large dimensions by steam, so it was reserved for our hardy and fearless seamen first to prove to Northern Europe and the world at large that even the stormy ocean that washes the Russian strand could not check ther enterprise nor cause their cour age to quail. To some this may appear a matter ot little moment, but we confess that as Americans we are always gratified to sustain the just claims of superiority to which our countrymen may be entitled.” " —— JSARRIED, At the residence of Mr. Thos. Buchanan, on Tuesday evening the 10th inst., by the Rev. Mr. George, Mr. Moses M. Liddell, to Miss Mary Jane Buchanan, of Floyd County.
