This arrangement has reduced tlie expenses of tlie Florida war, from five mil lions a year, to not more than two. Stories of the extravagant expenditures of Government officers have been made up by insinuations and inferences < qua'ly as unfair as false statements.

No such transac tion lias taken place under the present admin istration. li is equally due to the several com manders in Florida to state, and I do it witli- onr fear of contradiction, that in the Creek and Florida wars:, more Indians have been destroy ed, captured and removed, than in all former wars against Indian tribes since the commence ment of our Government, and that tins has been accomplished under the most difficult and discouraging circuni-t.mces. Notwithstanding the existence of these wars, the administration, by its • nergelio efforts to produce economy in tlie public expenditures, Ins furniture, and the magnificence of Ins din ners. The house, which is vastly inferior in size and appearance to many town and coun try mansions of individuals in other count lies, was built by order of Congress, under the dir ection of Genet al Washington, and the furni- turc* spoken of was impelled fy Mr. Monroe, “gilt spoons” and all, and it must he acknowl- tariff, it must have been reduced, and Mr. Van Buren is entitled to your gratitude for uniting with General Jackson in measures which put an end to that system and led to tlie reduction of the high duties which bore so oppressively 1 upon the industry of the South. I The efforts of Georgia to remove tlie Cltcro- j i:ces, ha ! been foiled by the preceding admin istration, and tlie federalists of the North, uni ted to oppose this favorite measure of General Jackson. Nothing that their enmity and ac tivity could devise was left undone to fasten this population upon Georgia, Tennessee and Alabama. Emissaries were sent in among the Chcrokcos to urge tlie Indians to resistance, and John Iloss and his adherents were encour aged in their contumacy; mid even foreign influence invoked to put down the state laws and prostrate the policy of the administration. During the whole of this protracted and un edged, is not quite SO magnificent in its appear- I Mr. Van llurcw co-ofjern- ancc as it was twenty-four years ago. I have i led with General Jackson to free the South dined with every Republican President since from this Indian population, while those who tlie lime of the Elder Adams, andean perceive : are now liis opponents left nothing undone to no 'difference in ll.cn style of living and that of defeat a measure so important to Southern m Mr. Van Buren, except that his is the most J terests, and which was only finally cousum- itulloch, States to put themselves, for any advantages ! they could possibly secure by it. into the hands j Camden, of any future Biddle ? Campbell, Blit if we are to have a National Bank, ir Carroll, must be upon some definite plan. Yet there is not a man in this country who could draw a plan which would be satisfactory to ten oth er men ; and we venture to say there is not a man of intelligence who could so construct a Bank that he himself would have any tolerable confidence that it would work well. This! state of utter doubtfulness in tlie mir.ds of men, I Dade, certainly indicates that the path is not plain ; I Decatur, —that there is no distinct and obviously right j BeKalb, way. Mr. Webster said in his speech the otli- j or day, that he thought the profits of a Bank ! Eriinjham, ought to be limited, and the surplus paid into I Elbert, the national Treasury. But this, we believe,! Emanuel, is a new opinion of that great man, and his I'^ycuc, whole course of remarks on the subject shews that he is quite uncertain as to what the pow ers ol a Bank ought to he. Indeed we do r.ot believe it would be possible so to draw th? char ter of a National Bank that one half the mer chants of this city would wish it to pass. Tlie monstrous wrongs of the late Bank, which are developing themselves from month to month, j ii uncock, are causing men to turn their barks upon the j Hums, whole policy. Of the men who sliil favor i the policy of a National Bank, every one | fJoCston has some restriction to propose. Until we can ; j fW in, ’ see clearly what sort of a thing to make, it is j Jackson, certainly the part of wisdom to wait for more Jasper, light. We have an infallible system of regu- j j cl,erson ’ iation now at work, more powerful than a Na- Laurens tional Bank: a system in fact, which has over-1 l| Ci thrown and broken down the Bank, because it Liberty, rebelled against the system. Let us try liber ty. and the laws of trade. We have had most intolerable convulsions under tiie system of fictitious regulation. We cannot certainly fare worse under any system or no system.

I will close the observation which 1 have felt It my duty tom ike ou lire subject of the expen ditures of the government, with an extract from a letter addressed by the President, ou the 15th inst. to a < i'.tz« n of Tennessee, in icply to an interrogatory “whether in his opinion, there could lie any luriher reduction of the expendi tures of the government, without detiintent to the interests of the people” “1 donotdoul t the practicability of a further his opinions and sentiments m relation to them, have been frequently and frankly avowed.— T’ne peace of the country lias been honorably maintained, and its right firmly vindicated : tlie rights of tlie States, ns we understand them at the South, inviolably preserved, and our pe culiar interests inflexibly protected.

At that period Con gress was so fully impressed with the idea that war might grow out of the delicate and ein- w’ere greatly impeded I v causes loyond his j harrassing situation in which the two nations control. We succeeded during the year 1S3S ; were placed, that they voluntarily and unarii- in somewhat rcdueii g the amount, uotwith- mously confided to the President the means of standing the continuanceofour Indian embar rassmouts,and the m c< ssity for a longer time to make all such efforts completely successful.— The. revolts of 163.) were m». to the gr.bifyiug extent of a reduction of more than seven mil lions below the expenditures, even ofthe pre ceding-year. Of these facts and results Con gress were informed at the last session,and yon inay judge for yourself, whether their accuracy has (Mien in any way impeached.” “The estimates for IS 10 were directed to he subjected to tlie severest scrutiny, and limited to the absolute requirements of tlie public ser vice; and our best exertions have been made, throughout the year, to effect a Mill further re clueiioii. They have, I am happy to inform you, been crowned with the desired success. The expenditures for the first six months of 1S40, compared even with the reduced amount of 183ff,arc, in round numbers, us follows in 1839, S 12,000,000—for tlie same period in 1840, $10,100,000— compared with 1S3S they stand thus, in that year, §15,800,000, in the present §10,100,000—compared with 1837, (be ing those tinder appropriations made before I came into office) they stand thus —for Ihe first six months of 1S37, §16,635,000, and as I stated, in 1840, during the same months, §10,- 100,000. Although it cannot he stated with accuracy what the result of the whole year will be, yet, from the best menr.sofinfornmtion, we have reason to believe that the expenditures will not exceed §22,000,(11:0. Only lisins? in the accomplishment of that result, the power conferred upon me by Congress, to postpone certain expenditures under enumerated cir cumstances, to an extent which is not likely io diminish ther.ct uai expenditures of the year, so much .as a million below what they would otherwise have been. If in this «e are suc- tneeting the danger if it should arise c.n net of confidence which furnishes a remarkable commentary upon tlie abuse lavished upon Mr. Van Buren by lus opponents in and out of Congress. It may not be improper to state here as an instance of the unfair charges made by tlie opponents of the government to deceive tbe people, that the sum'of ten millions of dol- lars appropriated on that occasion, to be used by *’ !C (’resident in defence of the country, at Ins discretion, not one cent of which was ex pended or drawn from the treasury, is put down in some of the statements among the items to swell the amount of annual appropri ations and expenditures. 'Fiie conduct of our foreign relations has, in all fmmer political contests, been a fruitful (heme of invective against the existing admin istration. They affect the whole country, its interests and honor, and the nation is at all times most sensitive with regard to them.— The President cannot spend a dollar without a previous appropriation by Congress; hut he may by usingle act of indiscretion, in the man agement of its foreign affairs, involve the peace of the country; and although the last four years have presented difficulties in our foreign relations, seldom if ever surpassed, we yet see the extraordinary spectacle of a Presidential canvass carried on with unprecedented sever ity, without one word being uttered against the conduct of the Executive in this most im portant and delicate of his official duties, and that in which he, more than any other, acts by himself. To his former conduct, you must look to his future course iq nil that concerns the rights ol the South and the rights ofthe States. Mr. Van Buren regarded the National Bank, not only as unconstitutional, but as a fearful polit- peace of its citizens. Combinations are form ing at home and abtoad to render the labor on winch its prosperity depends, not only value less. but dangerous lo the “existence of socie ty;” to exclude its products from general use and substitute those of India in their stead, and to breed a spirit of discontent among the ne groes, and encouraging their escape from their masters, by laws enacted and upheld in viola tion of express provisions of tlie Constitution. In every stage of this destructive policy, Mr. Van Buren has used his personal and political influence to stay its progress, and at this mo ment he stands in the breach, assailed by all the ancient enemies of tlie South, and by the new foes who have arisen on every side, and who strike directly at its prosperity and peace: and will the Scutii be so utterly regaidlcss of its o\\ n interests as to lend Us aid to raise this party to power, and abandon tlie democracy of the North, who, actuated by a proper respect for their constitutional obligations, have hith erto supported them against the abolitionists? Of Gen. Harrison's principles and intentions, nothing can be known : but those of the friends that surround him, and of the party that sus tain him, are well understood. He receives tlie support of the A! olitiouists and of the friends of a National Bank, of a High Protect ive Tariff, of extensive schemes of Interna! Improvements, of the assumption of State Debts, and of the distribution of the Public Lands among tlie States, which would prove the most powerful means of establishing and continuing a high tariff of duties. lie there fore stands committed in favor of interests ab horrent to the South, and against which the democracy ofthe Union have struggled so man- folly. and tints far, successfully. The elec tions, as far as they have gone, display a (car ful combination of fanaticism and monied in terest in favor of this candidate, and the South if faithless to its interests, is exposed to have imposed upon it a consolidated government by the mistaken policy of its own misguided sons appropriating its vast means to proniolb meas ures and execute projects inimical to the prin- < i; !es and directly opposed to the interests of that portion of tlie Union.

Chiefly by a war with the U.S. Bank, and by taking away its charter. If there had been no U. S. Bank ihere would have been no tampering. Has not this tampering of the government done more mischief than Ihe Bank did good during its whole existence? We may say that Gen Jackson was foolish, headstrong, or wicked. It does not alter ihe fact that it was through the existence of a National Bank that these bad qualities were rendered so destructive. We never put loaded muskets into the hands of a maniac, and feel safe because the arms are good It is a matter for grave consideration whether we will make anotner instrument which, in the hands of some future General Jackson, may upset every thing again. Now, the Govern ment cannot tamper with the currency; or if they do, there is no instrumentality which magnifies that tamperin'? into dangerous Ini portance. Take another view of the case. It is now pretty generally acknowledged that the admin istration of the U. S. Bank has been had; bad for the stockholders and bad for the public Mr. Biddle, who was once considered a Very great financier, is now thought |7oorly of. He made a great figure at qnc time, lie said it was necessary to make money' scarce, and so it came to pass, and merchants failed by him dreds under the pressure. Anon a committee composed of our most respectable merchants went respectfully to Mr. Biddle and requested that money might he made plenty, and he said “ Let money he plenty”—and it was so. Mr F 011EIG N. Arrival of tiie Caledonia at Bunion. Seven days later from Englnud. The third ship of the British Royal Mail line ol Steamers, the Caledonia, Capt. Richard leland. arrived on Saturday morning at Bos ton a little before 7 o’clock, bringing London dates to the evening of the IStli.and Liverpool to the 19th of September—the day of sailing. The Caledonia biings the intelligence ot the commercial treaty between France and England. The general character of the news is decidedly pacific. Mchemct All had acce ded to a plan for the adjustment of differences with theSnltan submitted by Count Walewski. There is no later news from China, and af fairs in Spain and Portugal appear to be more than usually quiet. The whole aspect of af fairs was decidedly pacific at the last dates. The blockade of Alexandria was commen ced on tlie 1st nit. by Admiral Stopfold. Seve- eral of the Pasha’s vessels had been seques tered by the British naval authorities. The Viceroy’s fleet (Egyptian and Turkish) was drawn up in order of battle in tlie roads of Alexandria. The prospect of a general war had pretty much blown over. The Loudon Morning Her ald ofthe 17th, gives, by an extraordinary ex press from Paris,the following statement, which may be designated “important, if true.” If the lardy concession which Mehemet Ali has made at tiie eleventh hour will satisfy the four powers, now that matters have been pushed to such an extremity, it seems a cle verly contrived scheme lor I leaking the old man's fall, without compromising his dignity md pride. The other morning papers are silent on the ubjcct of the proposed arrangement, and their correspondents at Alexandria represent him as being inflexible at the expiration of tlie second ten days notice. We sincerely hope, for the sake of humanity, and the preservation ofthe peace of Europe, that, the Herald’s state ment may be true, as it open a dour for the pacific settlement of the ugly question. We have received tlie following important communication from our Paris correspondent. Letters from Malta, of the 7th September, contain the following important intelligence: Count Walewski lias proposed to Mehemet Ali a project ofarrangement, which the Viceroy had decided on accepting. The Count has set off in haste to Constantinople, in order to have the project presented to tlie Divan, through the French Ambassador, M. DePontis. Among other clauses contained in this project, there is one, it is asserted, which is likely to facilitate the almost desperate arrangement ofthe Eastern question, viz. Mehemet Ali consents to accede to the proposal to possess Syria for his life only. The transactions in the Cotton market at Liverpool had been upon a small scale, but for the last few days there has been a more exten sive demand, and prices of American descrip tions had been well supported. The harvest in Great Britain had been gen erally productive, and the grain had keen gath ered in most parts of the country iu good order. By the most recent accounts from the South of Europe, we learn that the demand for Wheat for export had entirely subsided at tlie princi pal ports in the Mediterranean, and that but little bad been done in the article for local con sumption, whilst fair supplies having in the in terim been received, prices had declined. At Trieste, on the 29th tilt, the best Banato W heat was procurable at 2 ; , fj per staro. or 42s. per quarter free on board. From the North of Europe we have also ad vices of falling prices, the certainly of the duty rising in England having caused the export demand (or Wheat to cease suddenly. With the exception of the Northern Coun ties, the. harvest may now be considered ns nearly brought to a conclusion in England; and even in Yorkshire, a large proportion of the crops is already saved. Two British ships of the line were stationed at tlie entrance of the Dardanelles, waiting to escort a small Turkish squadron, carrying 4000 soldiers, and proceeding lo Cyprus.

Woman’s fcelincs, sooner matured than man’s, more early s nk to decay. Ripened by habit, and warmly sensitive by temperament, the age of twenty, v hen comes the first true budding of man's sj irit, mid the first free gush of his careless ant generous heart, often, ten often, witnesses the seared and blighted wo man, with the cold or maddening memory ot days gone by. Tin blight of one hope, tbe disappointment of one vision of happiness, throws a chill over her prophetic spirit, and wraps every after dream in anticipated ruin- Man is a different being, by his habits, Ins ed ucation. and his associations: from disappoint ment lie plunges into new pleasures: from one lost object he rushes ou to new pursuits. It is a good characteristic of his nature, that he leaves the memory of sorrow for the happiness. Well might it be for won the indifference which she has sometimes reason to deprecate in him. were oftenrr to pour its Lethe wave upon her own bosom, which if it he called untrue, in its joy, ye* clings with but too much constancy ou > ,s sorrow. Well might it be for woman, if d ,e light laugh, and the careless brow, were not so frequently “ roses o’er a sepulchre.” Many a bright eye is dimmed, and many a fair brow eloudcd, while the more rugged spirit of man passes the fiery ordeal of suffer’ ing with equal relish for a second pursuit, and equal strength for a second disappointment. Many a gay heart is broken, and the young bosom rests in tlie sepulchre, or seeks in id- most as lonely retirement, the oblivion or the food of its arrow, while the buoyant spirit ot youth, and the iron spirit of manhood crush the thorns that would pierce them; and the careless and the happy give one gaze to the passing form, and one sigh to the early fate ot woman,’ without a question or a thoughtwhy Mich things can be.”
