It is to commemorate the irinmpk'og principles
Ibr which wo have been contending Ibr ytareaud

aeeowe have tern (but not with folded arms, Air
we have over returned the charge after each
successive defttal) tho fearfttl and tits fright
ful inroads made by ecomipl Administration up
on our dearest rights. Wa hart non dm rights
of a Sovereign Slate of this Confederacy tramp
led under tho iron bool of power. We hare seen
on American Confrere submitting te the com
mands or a Dictator, as absolute as Tlborlus
Casar. Wo have seen blaok lime drawn aerost
dm sacred record of on American Senate, by the
high order of in imperial master, whore trill was
hissofciair. We have seen acoalldon betwoon
Martin Van Bores and Jobs C. Calhoun,
more monstrous, more astonishing than dm fe

Fox,which was regarded ae an iniult to every Bri
tish subject Wo hive teen as a conseqaenca, as
a legitimate and odious offspring of this most
foul, most unnatural alliance, Mr. Calhoun's
Land Bill, which proposes to give away to the
Western Steles, e greet portien. of dtat public
domsin which was purehaaed by (he blood end
trcaajire of the old Thirteen State* in exchange
for Western votes.
Whet tnontrosilius have w* not .scan t We
are eoacenatomcd to tho mSrcb of arbitrary pow
er and axcutira interference, that each succeed
ing blow has almost ceased to astonish or otarllo
us. These late altaeka are like (news falling on
an icelierg, they make but a alight impression.—
The public treasure! Where is ill It was not
ibdteysaid,whare is it nowl Ask the unfaithful,
infamous, abnndonod agents who have squander
ed more than tivo millions of it. They
were going to giv* ua more gold. Where
ia it I Why the visions of Sanelto, when ho
ibo't of dm blissful island ho was to govern, wore
not half to absurd as the visionary theories of
these modem experimenters. The Magician and
Alchaniyat, who pretended lo hold tho philoao*
plmr'e stone, has worked ond laboured on amidst
thearcanaofhia political laboratory, ho has prom*
iscd much, he has uttered uutgio woit'i,and while
wo poor dupes have' been intently goriiy lo see
what was to coma from so much smoke and flame'
he like a skilful juggler has dexterously whipped
dm money out of onr owu pockets and put it into
hisown whore he keeps it withe miserly grasp.
Yes! Ibis administration (if it deserves tbe name)
made war upon our banks for tho safest of substi
tuting a metallic currency, and now it has aubsti-
tnledabankofitsown. We have seen the rights
of die District of Columbia trampled under foot,
by this slavish majority, without even a shadow
of cause, without even so much as a shallow
pretenco, and the persecution! of Gorornnmm
have been carried so br that the City of Alexan
dria ia endeavoring to gat from under its entailing
sway and enjoy State privileges under dm pro
tecting arm of Virginia. Wa hero seen thu
Treasury plundered, dishonest agents continued
in office, a solemn decision of dm 8 opreme Court
ofdm United Slatet disregarded, government of
ficials taxed in order to control elections, an
army of affice holders drilled like a Macedonian
Phalanx, arrayed in one dense column in order
to screen obnoxious Governors IVom tho assaults
ofan insulted people. We have seen prodigal
ity and waste substituted for national economy
and thrift, the caprices andwhimspfparty favor
ites, for wholesome laws, quibbling and sophis
try which would disgrace a school boy, for manly
and truthful debate, theories for facte and statis
tics, fanciful speenlatians for the admonitions
of history, unmeaning words for realities. Die-
honesty has walked abroad under a deceitful rail,
the credit of the Suttee inatead of being mtitainad,
hna been wantonly assailed in Ibreign markets by
agents paid to circulate printed (landers, and at
home tho National Legislature has continued tho
seme war on State credit. Tho whole political
history for many years past has been one of bro
ken promises, of blasted expectations, of disap
pointed hopes.
But wo have abundant reason to thank the
Giver of all Good with unfeigned humility and
gratitude, that the reign of insult and untruth is
at an end, that the spoiler ia ruined under the
filling fabrics of tlm temple where he Inis kept hie
Mels, that the wend of the Magician is broken
nnd shattered by the strong right arm of an offen
ded people. How ana the miortt fallen i—
How rapidly this system of defences erected by
the paid servants ol the people against the people

Titc people have spoken end Lo! the tumult is
hushed, and they who of lata were to loud, ao

fonl, Poorer, Mifflin, Somerset! ond Contra hare
given a Whig majority of 4780 votes. Those
counties on examination will ba found lo have
given a Whig majority of643—being an error of
4143, which added to the oonnlioa we hare since
received, aay 3592 Van Buren, make 7735 votes
to bo deducted from the majority suited in that

502 votee. which will be found to agree very itoar

Then to think of this beautiful • peciracn of cabi<

that I love tho good cause less, but that I love

of them." Here is perspicuity for you! Oh tbe

old field pedagogue in the country who cannot
write better English than thia, but we forget that
like Major Jack Downing, Levi's fort lies in ci*
plic.ring. With a slate ond pencil—he could no
doubt figure outMr. Van Buren'a election yet; and
come quite oa near the truth too, ns many of his

pect but overwhelming defeat with such a dun
derhead as this to back him; but to tbe letter!
Let every one reed Ibr himself.
•' Washington, 1st Sept. 183ff.
"Dear Sir—Yuur* of the 24tb alt. was re
ceived last evening. 1 thank you sincerely for
the friendly sentiments it exproMet towurds my
self porsonallvt but I must confess, that the
tone of it, ana Mr Huyne'a letter, which you en
close, ore such towards the administration, as to
create much regret and painful disappointment
in respect lo the boundary question.
When every thing—cvcu war, was hazarded
by the President last spring for that question; and
when the whole on inner has been spent by tbe
Secretory of State in efforts to advance the inter
ests of Maine, and when nil the rest of us here
hove sustained the claims of Maine as firmly, at
least, a* the strange democrat some of.vour poli
ticians recommended to be special Minister to
England, on this subject—it is really discourag
ing, and causes sickness al tbe heart, to bear the
complaints reiterated by our friends, of the "ep<
parent apathy and unconcern of the general gov
ernment in regnrd to the North Eastern bounda
ry.” Wo bavesomauy real and unavoidable
troubles with our enemier- at home and abroad,
that to have these increased and aggravated by
our friends makes roe utterly despondent.
I have now been left alone hero struggling with
embarrassments without n parallel in our finan
cial history, for over two months—and taking the
additional burden on my shoulders of advising
oil the other Departments, in the absence of their
Heads, when case* of doubt, difficulty and great
responsibility arise—and now to have this now
source of discontent, danger and threatened war
upon us reopened, is more than I am able to bear.
It is said to be tho lost JtaOttr which breaks the
horse’s back.
But with this heavy and additional pressure,
when itwoAhoped that ull was in n liivorable ( traiu.
my tAhnlisted frame must hooii yield. I will do
a lira my power for my friends ond the cause
while here; but I cannot work miracle*, and
neither my mind nor body is made of iron. To
escape death or insanity, I shall leave my present
situation the first mouranl the President will con

•nee. Thia year is my eighth one in t
if there are causes of cnn.nl.-.., entire Department, and it iahigh Ume for rotation
inhere are cause, of complamt.- _„ ot ^t I lore the good conn lore but that I
love principle mnje, and the wishes of my friends
more, to promote belter by tbo aetrices of other
men, ofdifferentor similar politics, the great in-
tereateofatleutsomeorthe Slates, if not al! of
them.
1 complain not a word. Indeed, hod I been
left te my own inclinations and judgment, I
should hare resigned over a year ago. But as
some oftbo obstacles, then existing, hare been
•ince removed, I think a glimmer of light to my
self personally breaks through tito doitda.
Iwillahvtr.asyou seem to wish, your letter
and Mr. H.'eto the President, on hta return at
the close ofthe month. After tho glorious reac
tions itt the Welt, I trust, lhatnur leading friends
indie East have not so conductedas to loaocoato
with the peoplo, and to lessen onr mojoritiea
there, oa you leer. Even Rhode taland bargain
ed largely on the democratic aide within two
yean; and ifMaine ia determined to throw her-
•elf into Iha arms of the opposition, or te plsy in
to their hands—during such a crisis aa ths present
one—let ua beieech altind Providence toiave the
Republic, for noarnt ol'Jhskcan avail ue. I had
rather have lost Tennessee and Indiana united.
