And you shall have full pay.

• THE RAP AT THE DOOR.
From Ephraim Holding's Addresses.
There are many raps at the door that give ns
neither ioy nor sorrow; the baker may call with
• bread, the butcher with his meat, and the pot-boy
may bring us our porter; theso tilings affect us
• not; we uto so much accustomed to the common
• blessings of the day, that they excite no emotion
•in onr winds; we expetft them os tilings of course.
*• How wouderftil is the forbearance, and continu
ed goodness of our heavenly Father towards the
'ungrateful receivers of his bounty! But when
- we see the landlord coming fur his rent, or the
tax-gatherer with his big ugly green book, at a
time when it is tiatconvenicnt to nny him, let him
rap at the door in whatever way he will, hisrap is
out of time; we had rather hear tho sound of the
hurdy-gurdy. If you have ever seen a hamper
from the country pulled mu of the van opposite
your door, or expected a welcome letter from a
friend, the single rap of the carrier, or the double
rap of the postman, has been anything but disa-
s'greeable to you. So that, as I said before, wo
» are 'differently affected by the same thing,' Under
• 'different ciycumstancrs; what at one time affords
its pleasure, at another time gives us pain. Did
• It never occur to von. that a rap at the door is the
'monotonous herald that announces to us the nr-
'rival of, at least, one-hnlf of our daily comforts,
and that ushers into our presence the greater part
•or the joys and sorrows that chequer our fleeting
lives? Onr food and raiment, the coals that warm
its, and the medicines that restore us; the good
news, and the evil tidings that reach us by news
paper, periodical, parcel, and letter, are all pre
ceded by a rap at the door. The direst foe that
afflicts us with his presence, and the dearest friend
that delights us with his society, sounds in our
ear* the same note of preparation. Seeing then,
that the rap at thedoorhaa so much to do,with our of
fairs, it must needs bo a great comfort to hear it
without alarm, dnd u great trouble when it strikes
us with cotiaiermtion. He who trembles at a rap
at'the door need have no other trouble.
• It seems to me (lint some advantage may be
•gained, if wo-consider every bodily affliction, and
every mental trial, as a ran at the door; for assu
redly this is the case, whelherwe consider itso or
not. Yes; every .tooth-ache, ear-ache, and heart-
ache, we endure, is a rap at ihsdoor; and whether
• it be n gentle tap, or a loud ran-dan, it is meant
! V as a warning; it either whispcrs“Bc ready !” or
• criesout "Prepare !” Have ypu bad many raps
of this kind, and have they been loud ones ? have
n core, then, that they are not disregarded. Think
not that because some ofyour afflictions have
. rapped and run away, that they will always do so,
for this will not be the case.
• There are other raps at the door, too thntwe
Shall do well to a Head to ;aud these are all the at-
'f ictions and bereavement* of our friends. Their
visitations alffuld not be lost upon ns. How it may
have been wtfli you I know not, but I have had
some sharp raps in tho course of the last year.
Many of the friends that were most dear to mo in
this world have been beckoned away to a better,
«nd ran has succeeded rap so unexpectedly, that
•my old friends are getting scarce. I often fancy
• that the few that nre left, are standing like old
Father Time, with our glasses in tliei*- hands, and
wing* on their shoulders. Perhaps what I have
said may set yon thinking on these subjects. A
rap at the dour is so frequent an * occurrence, that
if we can inako it useful, it will be a daily and an
hourly advantage. Tho rap of unkiiidncss, in
justice, crosses, losses, poverty, sickiiess.discase,
und pain may be hard to bear, but there is One
Who can make it easy. “He isu very present
help in all nines of trouble," & He is easy to be en
treated, long suffering and abundant in compns-
non and grace. M isiruat then yourself and trust
unreservedly In Him, and Ilia mercy, that you
may be strengthened in the hour of need, and
that, when you hear the resounding ro/of the
King of Terrors,y<m may welcome him with a
entile,and any, "God will redeem u»y soul from
the power nftbegruvd, for he shall receive me."
“I know that my redeemer liveth, and though, af
ter my dea th worm* destroy this body, yev in mv
flesh shall I see God.” * 3

. SIGNS OF THE TIMES.
It requires no Belteshazzar now to inter
pret the hand writing upon tho wall, or rather
upon the horizon, for the whole circumference
of tliis broad land is blood red with the Are in the
prairies. In this fearful storm of popular indig
nation, upon whom will his majesty cxlpto inter
pret it? Will ho, like tho King of Babylon, call
first upon the sooth sayers, and wise men, 'and
their wisdom being in dcfiult, will he turn fo the
real prophets t Not him—he has already called
upon Amos for his prognostics, and upon such
will he rely until his destiny is fulfilled.
Our Federal Locos yesterday looked as if a
bomb shell had exploded in their midst, at the
news from Alabama, Kentucky and Indiana—
but let us tell thorn that this is a mere flash in the
pan to wbat they will hear when the old War
Horse of North Bend filially breaks loose from
his cage. A granny is he? Aye, a terrible one
he will prove to evil doers, and a scourge! A
coward is he? Aye, a notable coward—lie will
lick thp cohorts of the treasury, even worse than j T° boxing, carriage, Ac.
ha Uektd tho British and Indiana.
In less than one year's time from tliis date,

Uaxciioft (who. has beon well styled thd Rbi-
ieav of Von Bnrenism) among tho nnntber
" whose hands qnd hearts ate linked together in
tho defence of the toilets of pure Democratic
faith.” Well done, the said Mr. Bancroft was
a turbulent Federalist, and violently opposed to
Mr. Madisok. Our opponents soont to lie sin
gularly unfortunate in selecting defenders ofilmir
principles. How U it that the Hartford Conven
tion Federalist of old, is tho best oxpoundor of
the new fimglud Democracy.of Van Burcn ?

CHARLESTON, Aug. 4th, 1840.
A. W. Campbell, Esq.
My Dear Sir;—I have hod the honor to recoivo
your letter oftlie 25th lilt., in which you oppriso
mo that the Tippdcanoo Club of Savanunh, has
authorized the nppoinlmcut orn Committee of
five to invite Messrs. Preston, Legare, Thomp
son, «&c., to partake with tliotn of a dinner to bn
given in honor of your present candidates for
Congress.
You aro good enough to say that no precise
time lias yet h*eu fixed upon; but, Hint this early
no lice has been given with the hope of avoiding
disappointment.
I regret to say, tlmt my present engngenionts
will put it out of my power to accept this flatter-
iug and ngreeublo invitation. I do uut expect to
remain in Charleston longer than a fortnight
more ; and hi tho meantime, sliull bo very much
occupied in various ways. Among other engage
ments, I have partly promised to be present ut the
Macon Convention, if 1 cun.
I sincerely regret this disappointment. I do
not know a body of gentlemen to whom I would
moro cheerfully concur in doing honor, than
those whom tho State Rights’ Party of Georgia
has chosen to make the Representatives of its
high aud truly republican spirit. Amid the dis
gusting and profligate tergiversation and subser
viency wiiich I lament to have to confsss, have
made tiieir way even into this Southern country.
It is refreshing to couteinplato the lofty course of
the Duwsons and the Ilabcrsiiams, tho Kings, tho
Nesbits and the Alford*, of your great and grow
ing commonwealth. The next Census will prob
ably place Georgin in numbers nnd physical
.strength, at the head of the South. It is matter of
congratulation for us all, that her moral power
promises to keep pace with her advancement,
and to grow with her growth.
Sincerely rejoicing in this consoling prospect,
I beg that you will accept my felicitations for the
promising aspect of the campaign, and be pleased
to cotumuuicate to the Tippecanoe Club of Sav
annah, the expression oftlie hearty sympathy and
perfect good wishes with which
I have the honor to be their, and
- your devoted aud obliged servant,

shame—burning shame, will mantle the checks
of all those who have indulged in those opprobri
ous epithets agniust one of the sternest old Ro-
raaus in this Republic.
There is one very peculiar feature in these
tactics of the party. Wherever they have a weak
point, then they cry out against us. Is Mr. Vax
Bcrex justly chargeable with noti-corauttUalism?
They immediately begin tho stale and stupid cry
oftlie caged candidate—Gen. Mum, dec. Is Mr.
Vax Durex justly chargeable with having united
with the Federalists to oust Mr. Madisok ? They
forthwith cry Federalism against tho very cham
pion of tlie Republican party, selected as such by
the leader of that party during tlie war, and who
redeemed them from tho diaostors of Hull. Is
Air Vax Buren all things to all men? They at
once charge Gen. Harrison with writing one
sort of letter to the North aud another to the
South.
In short, whenever Amos begins to cry wolf!
wolf! wolf! keep' a sharp look out, for he intends
to steal a sheep right off. When he hollows
fire, be sure he intend* to burn down auolUer
treasury building. Whenever he talks loudly of
abolition aguiust Gen. Harrisok, be sure Van
lias been endorsing some more negro testimony
or furnishing more evidence n f t»|« e^-rly predi
lections on that subject. If ho cries out loudly
nbout Gen. Harrison's tariff sins, be sure some
body has just published Van’s celebrated sheep
speech.
And tliis is what Amos means in his letter of
advice to his editoriul brethren by keeping the
war on tho offensive, It is to charge the very
identical sinsofMARTiK Van Boren upon Gen
Harrison, but it wont do Amos, the hollow pre
text is too phlimsy. There was a time when a
man might wear a collar without a shirt, and
charge his neighbor with being sliirtless; but in
these days of searching operations, a man must
have his bosom and show what lies beneath his
jacket. What a sight it would be to get a peep
under Amdb’s, doubtless it would be equal to a
glimpse of Pandemonium.

Sub-Treasury Bill: it is designed “tosecure
EOR THy. WANTS OF THE GOVERNMENT, MONEY EX
TRACTED FROM THE POCKETS OF THE PEOPLE” • \[
What do you think of that, Democrats 1 How

Thank Heaven the People see and understand
these things, nnd will nooii right them. The vil
lainy perpetrated in this Republic for eight year*
past in the name of Democracy, is without a par
allel in the history of nations. Unblushing
falsehoods are uttered by the party in power, and
no menu* however repugnant to their conscien
ces and good mora Is arc left unturned to perpet
uate tlioir power. The days of the French Rev
olution are indeed close upon us, and a striking
similitudd to those times exists in every promi
nent measure of the party. We have all the ty-
ranny and aggression of those days, and nothing
but biood in wanting to complete the picture—
and even this they are thirsting for. Need wo in
stance the attack upon tlie Delegates from Mus
cogee, by a body of Van Buren tneu ? In Uic gul-
lant bearing of that Delegation, our foes tnny seo
something oftlie spirit that emulates the people.
ITT 6ur opponents wonder at the shouts of
joy they hear. Two day* before the election, the
Globe aud New-York Keening Post claimed Indi
ana for Van Burkx. The Whig candidate for Gov
ernor is now elected by 10 to 12,000 votes. They
affected to believe Kentucky doubtful—wo have
there 15,000 majority. Nortit-Caroliua tliey
claimed as their*; how is the pet ? a nett gain of
10 in the Legislature, ond 300 votes on the elec
tion ofl830, when Dudley XWhig) was elected
by 4400 majority.
Alabama in a blaze OF GLORY. One hun

never counted upon this State. If we correct
our return from Baldwin Couiitv,by the Charles

8HE8HEQUtN, July 13,1840.
Sir t By yesterday’* mail I received your let
ter dated 28th ult. enclosing your "Address to
the People of the United States,” and a
"Prospectus fortiik Extrx Globe.” A* l am
not inclined to become a hypocrite, and remain
silent ns tlie second beet plan which 1 could adopt
to retain my offleo, I therefore conceive it my du
ty, honestly and frankly, to slate some of tho
reasons why I cannot comply with your rrqne*t.
I shall nny hut little alioutyour Wdrrss,’ which,
by the way, I consider n* groat a piece of sophis
try at was ever niutogatlior, und, in this covered
tray, as great an insult to tho understanding oftlie
American people nscoitld be possibly manufactur
ed out of tho brains of a despot. When tho peo
ple hoar you, sir, sneaking about "mrc morality "
and “truedemocracy' all hut the wilfully ignorant
ofyonr political life mimt stand amazed at your
presumption. But when you introduce that
which is pure tn support that which is impure and
corrupt, it will deceive none except those who
aro trilling and trisking to bo deceived.
If your object was only "to vindicate the Ad
ministration from the foul aspersions cast upon
it,” your task would bo both a praiseworthy and
an easy one; as it would bo a very difficulty mat
ter for any uiio to aspttao that which is already
rottrn to the core. But this is evidently not your
main object. Booi'tso, to shield one object from
aspersion by aspersing another, is not the course
nn holiest man would take. When, therefore,
wo see yon aipersing the character of Gen. Har
rison, us pure a patriot, and ns pure u democrat,
as over lived—whoso history its n part oftlie his
tory ol our country, and a most brilliant part, too;
no one, except tins consummately ignorant, or wil
fully blind, can bo ot a loss to understand your ob
ject nnd the means you intend to use to attain it
—tn second whicii you call on mo for assistance!
Be assured tiiat such a course does uot come
within tho scope of my ideas of right and wrong.
1 am not a partisan, sir, for. the sako of party,
“rightor wrong.” This is the dangerous princi
ple that is now working to destroy the. liberties
of our country ; and to such a principle I shall
never submit. I shall go with no party any longor
than 1 believe they ure going right, nud acting for
tlie goneral good of all parties, and for the perpet
uity and safety of oar republican institutions.
That the party nowin power are acting on these
principles no honest, well-informed pntriot, can
admit for an instant—such can have no doubts on
tlie subject.
1 was, sir, an original Jackson man (which is
moro than yon, or Mr. Van Boren, can say of
yonrRolves)—I supported General Jackson in
1824, and in 1828. Iu 1832, I was neutral. By
this timo I thought that I discovered n tendency
iu his plans, which, if carried out, would destroy
the financial prosperity of the country. I could
not conscientiously give him niy vote. But not
being certain I was right in my conjectures, I di J
not voto. fur any one else. In 1833, I became
convinced thnt my conjoctnres tee re right. Since
that time, I have lint been an advocate for )ils, a or
the present administration—tlie latter, appearing
to me to outstrip the former, in glaring assump
tions of power that did not belong to it. Mr. Van
Burcn has not only followed in tlie “footsteps of
his illiiRtrioits predecessor,” hut he has tnadenrio
tracks which all butskraes to party, can easily see,
and appreciate; and which, if followed up, will
deatroy our republic.
Can you suppose it possible, sir, that any hon
est, well informed patriot, can support an Ad
ministration winch lias snddled'iipon the people tlie
Snb-Tre.isnry monster? Yon must hnvonpoor
opinion of the intelligence of tho people, if you
think so. The “Independent Treasury’’/orsoof/i/
This appellation to the monster appears to mo to
bo too invidious ond bare-faced, to deceive tho
most ignorant man in tho nation. The Independ
ent Treasury!! eh? Ami pray, sir, to what does
the term “Independent,” in this connection, ap
ply? It is obviously the mo*ifih \$y bait for a gull-
trap, that a political trapper over used. Who can
not sec, at a glance, thnt tliis Bub-Tronsury con
trivance is independent only ofthe people (7) and
dependent solely on the President? Tho President
now, to ail intents anil purposes, has the purse
of the nation iu his lianas, obtained by fraud and
the disfranchising of an independent State of the
Unionl Do you flatter yourself, sir, that tlie peo
ple will put up with such high-handed measures,
and sit down contentod under a despotism?
Never sir, never. To suppose such h result, it
must be based on the belief that the American
people are as ignorant and servile as the serf of
Russia!
Well, sir, what next? Wo see that the Presi
dent lias the puree of tlie nation in hi*, hands; can
he keep it? No, sir, nut without n Blinding ar
my to Hiipport him in liis unjust plans; and of this
he Hoemed V> he woll aware, and so recommend
ed this anti-republican measure to Congress, tlmt
he may have placed in liis hands both the purse
and the sword of tlie nation, and consequently
tho power to tunko himself a MONARCH!
Mr. Van Buren lias always boon considered a
very cunning man, but cunning men are some
times caugh; in their own trap; and in recommen
ding hi* plan for a standing army, ho hus ran a-
head of hi* mark, showing tlmt he lias dipt both
of his hands in tlie cauldron of despotism, mid you
nnd “the party" Imveset Mr. Poinsett the task
of washing them clean again. But it is a llcrcu-
loan task, uod never can he accomplished. Tho
Loco Foco filth mid ingredients which this great
blunder has fixed upon him, will stick as long as
the world mid history lusts. It would Imvo been
better for the President, Imd lie put on u "poison
ed .shirl." But the miserable Mr. Poinsett! he is
to be pitted ns well us condemned—pitied, «s a scape
gout to bear away the sin of such a monstrous out
rage upon the rights ofthe people and their Con
stitution, nnd condemned for consenting to be
come the tool of a man not strong enough to bear
his own sins.
I have said, sir, that disfranchising of an inde
pendent Stuto was the means by which Ins odious
Bub-Treasury scheme was consummated into a
law. It had, however, auxiliary aid, and from n
quarter tlmt no mortal man,» year and a half ago,
would havo supposed possible. 1 allude to the
coalition between Mr. Van Buren and Mr. Cal
houn—a political coulition tlie must extraordina
ry tlmt ever took place since tlie world began!
How tho tiger ofthe South, with his own nam
ed caste ofthe/oz mid weasel,could form a com
pact with, nnd support tho wmi.and tho measures
he Imd denlt such heavy blows upou, is beyond ull
conception, if scanned upon any scale of ethics
ever practised from by nu honest man. That
this grout man should either voluntarily or forci
bly be brought into n compact or situation, in
which he would ho obliged to embrace the editor
of tho GlobO' and Extra Globe, is moro strange
still. I urn Induced 1o believe tlmt this coalition
caused greater laitgliWr iu the palace of pande
monium, than John Milton supposed there was
in licuven, when language was confounded at tho
Tower of Babel | But I must drop this wouder-
ful compact, for tho present.
I havo luokedover your address, sir, with some
attention, aud must honestly and frankly aver,
that I cannot find one truth in it, except in the first
line, and that I boliovo to be all true, viz: “ Our
country presents a new spectacle, for the contempla
tion of mankind.” Pardon me, sir, for italicizing
this line. This sentence is most emphatically
truo—und a horrible truth it is tuo; and among
.the wonders attached to this prospectus is thut
you should call the people’s attention to such n
•truth I In the prospectus which tliis sentence

tho same principles. At the last Presidents! elec

believed him to bo honest and capable, and well
fitted for tlie office of Chief Magistrate ofthe ra

mistaken in the man—as far as relates to ha
Democracy, honesty, or capability. Of DenodUct
