From the presen* state of our political atmos
-hore, we think it- h'ghly probable that the next
onr legislature will be more remarkable
~• political manceveri ig than attention to bud*
ne?? Leaders will be active in marshalling their
frees, and arranging parties The old landmarks
of party we think have become nearly obliterated,
new ones must be established. Forsyth and
hi interest, are now at the bottom of the wheel;
me li hoie” and u hij” he is there, he himself, we
{l,iak, would find it difficult to explain. But be
aan individual of too buoyant a temperament,
tire -'ail*, long at the bottom. Gilmer is also on
Ike surface, but how long he wil ] foot } we think
uncertain lie will undoubtedly endeavour to
f rtifv himself in power by placing his friends
round him ; and the ensuing session will no
cj :bt nresent a fierce struggle between the /•
tad t uts. Parlies will take new uautas and ar
fisge themselves under new leaders.
It his been intimated that exertions will be
made at the ensuing session to abolish the Cen
rti Bnnk ; and it is highly probable that they
wj’l prove successful. Never did a measure more
r ißipb’tely disappoint the hopes of its friends thao
this has done. It has proved a failure in every
of vie w Those who interested themselves
nthe es’ablbhment of the Institution, fancied i?
would relieve the pecuniary distresses of the peo
ple 1“. throwing a large amount of currency into
circulation But when it went into operation it
was f’und that the amount of money subject to
lean, was so much smaller than hod been antici
pated, and that the loans were subject to such
embarrassing restrictions, that it rather added to
tho difficulties of the people, than relieved them,
it was found that thosq v.ho indeed required re*
i.ef, could obtain none from the Bank, but that
the uv.ne) went into pie hands of capitalists, whe
‘ere thus.roora fully enabled to prey upon the
necessities of their depressed neighbours It is
a> wonder therefore that the Institution should
have become unpopular with almost all classes-cf

THE} ARGUS.
Letter from Washington to the ccfitore of the U.
States Gazette, dated
Washington, Oct. 11, 1829.
\ nu will have heard the rumors of ebauges
, in the A imiuisf ration, such as the aiiena
♦ f f om the Cabiuet, ol Mr. Eaton and
Mr. Branch, and the transplanting into the
soil ol honor of Mr. James Hamilton, Jr.
and Commodore Porter. I cannot vouch
| for the truth of these specific reforms, al
i though I have no doubt that changes have
been determined on It was supposed that
eiiher General Jackson would sacrifice
Mr. Eaton as a peace ffering, to concili
ate the other member* of the Cabinet, or,
on Ibe oilier hand, that Mr. Eaton Would
be returned, and Mr. Branch and Mr. Ing
ham would be permitted to resign, and if
j they evinced,any extraordinary reluctance
in availing themselves of such pet mission,
| would perhaps receive such hints as would
have the effect of quickening their move
j nients. The only ground on which I cau
account for tiro rumored removal of Mr.
i Branch, now that Mi Eaton is said to he
quitting tho Cabin-i is tiiat Gen. Jackson
lias perhaps boon moved by the dissatisfac
tion which the Navy has not been backward
in * xhibiting, at tho head which he had been
graciously pleased £ place over the profes
sion. Should Mr. Ei(inch have to suiren
der the sweets of ofli e, before he has
S'-rcely sipped them, he may take anew
view of i lie qualifications of Gm Jackson,
and instead of deeming him 4 ‘ the greatest
and best of men,” may discover other phra
ses of a different import, which lie miy j
deem more applicable to his character.
The recent removals in the pc si office
depaitment have revived the expectation
of miter removals, not in that department
only, but in the Executive departments ;
and the consequence of this renewed ex.
pi ctiliun, is that thorn has bteu u revival
of all that ntu'ual distrust and reserve a
iiioitg our ci .sens, which appeared soon
after the commencement of the proscription
system, but which bad recently begun, in
some degree, to disappear. No man can
ga*n any information from the public de
partments, unless lie boluugs to the right
creed. A s'ranger entering the rooms,

produced no infoinatton. ft appeared as
if the desks were occupied by some of j
M udsePs mini, appearing to have the use
of eveiv ficuhy except tiirnr tongues. At

Juctiou to ahe chief officer, in which he

A ‘•ingle illustrative fact speaks more
than pages of mere assertion. From this

Judginfr from the returns of the election in
those counties which we have heard P’orn, the
uati-masomc excitement has been more exteusiv©
th in we were led to expect. It appears, th-vt Lan
caster, Dauphin and probably Lebanon counties,
have given majorities for Ritner ; and we know,
that there are several other counties in which the
same result may be anticipated. Notwithstanding
this, there ean he no doubt of the election of the

a handsome majority.— Strain. I

Jhe Two Couny lickets. — it will he •
perceived from the returns which we pub- :
lished yesterday, that the BerriH ticket re- j
ceived ao average vote of 3920 ; arid tKit
Chi iitiue ticket aq average vole of 2918, ■
| leaving a majority of 972 for the Beirill
ticket. Mi. Biter aud Mr. liestoir the |
candidates elected from the Christine tick
et weiealso on the working men's ticket,
and iiiU t have received from that quarter
more than 1000 votes \ otherwise they
would have shared the fate of their col
leagues. After more clamour and abuse
than were perhaps ever displayed on a
similar accaaiun the people of the country
have decided which was the regular dem
ocratic ticket.
There were three tickets in the country, j
at the lute election The regular ticket j
framed at Berrill’s the ticket taken up at
Christine**, were the spurious delegates
from South walk, assisted in framing it and
the working men’s ticket. Two of the
working men’s candidates wore taken upon
she Ciiristine ticket, aud were elected,—
Tho democratic ticket taken up at Brr
ro’>, had 900 of a majority over the six
candidates takou up at Christine’s, and who
were not on the wciking men’s ticket.—
We think af er this decisioo by the people,
that the ad/ocates of a ticket supported by
John B’n<n and his coffin harm bill party,
and which was left 900 behind the demo
cratic ticket selected at Berrili’s, will fling
np all pretensions to regularity.

Horrible , —Reports equally singular and
shocking are at present in circulation here ;
and we give them publicity on the veraci
ty of a respectable gentleman from Suri
nam. It tviitfild seem that, about 4 mouths
ago, a Dutch sloop of war, whilst cruising
oft* the Island of Saba, fell in wivh a ship,
the crew of which could not give any ac
count ot her uosMtiaiion, or whence she
carr.e ; and having no papers to show, she
was immediately taken possession of by
the Dutchman. Shortly after a schooner,
strongly armed aud manned, made her ap
pearance, spoke the Dutch of war,
and claimed the ship as her piize. The
schr. piofesscd to bt* a Buenos Ayrean pri
vateer, and produced a commission in sup
port of her pretensions. On examination,
however, it was found that the commission
was limited to a given period, and that that
period had expired some rime. The Dutch
man of course very properly took posses
sion of the schr. also as a prize, and, along
with the ship, carried him to Saba. But
the authorities there being incompetent,
they were subsequently carried to Surinam ,
for adjudication; and on investigation it
turned out that the ship came from Brazil ;
that she was fi -ted our as a slave ship, and
whs pioceeding te the African coast for her
unhallowed traffic : and that she was cap
tured by the brigantine a few days after
leaving port on her outward bound voyage.
The crew, however, that left the port with
her are missing, and n satisfactory account
is giveo of them by the pirate. Our infor
mant states, that one of the crew of the
schr. offered to become kiug's evidence,
but such beiug inconsistent with the Dutch
criminal proceedings, the testimony of this
man was rejected From him however it
has trauspired, that the whole crew of Bra
zilian ship weie put to death, having been
first put in a boat, and theu fired at aud
sunk by the pirate.
The most horiid and disgusting part of
the tale remains yet to l*e told. The ship
-was condemned at Surinam, in const queuce
of having a slaving cargo on board ; amongst
other things, hie cargo consisted of a con
siderable quantity of pork in hogsheads;
these were publicly sold, aud when opened
by the purchasers, were found to contain
t^iman carcases cut up into pieces, and
salted amongst the pork. On many parts
of these human remaius was distinctly tra
ced that species of tattooing with which
* -
seamen often mirk their bodies. TU au
thorities ou learning these horrible details,
took every possible precaution to prevent
them from being made public, whilst the
captain aud ctew of the schr. were sub jus
dici. It is not yet known whether the hu
man flesh was originally mixed up with rhe
pork, or whether it was the work of pirates;
It is greatly apprehended that these mon
sters will get off; the Dutch criminal pro
ceedings are extremely tedious ; iheie is
also a well known and proverbial liability
to bribery ; and the jail is in a most wretch
ed and insecure condition. Tiie desciip
tion of the pirate corresponds with that
given of the vessel which, in April last,
plundered the Admiral Bcubow, and mur
dered some of tiie crew aud passengers off
the Cape Verd Island*.
From the Philadelphia National Gazette.
Bell s (Loudon) Weekly Messenger, of
the 6th uit. drsws a frightful and very ex
aggerated picture of the state of Ireland.
The editor of that paper asnibes the re
cont commotions to C itbojic Emancipa
tion, amt declares that a revolution must
either take place, or the measure of eman
cipation be greatly qualified or recalled.—
According to the same Journal, the Pro
testant hierarchy is more than ever assailed
and menaced, and the hatred of the lower
classes of the Irish is directed also against
the Catholic nobility and aristocracy, who
are calling upon the British Government
for protection. Affairs are pot piesented
under this aspect in the liisli correspon
dence of the Loudon Times. On the sub?
ject of Mexico, the Messenger displays
equal illiberality. It says—
** It certainly never can become tho duty
of England to oppose this expedition of
Old Spain against Mexico. Spanish Ame
rica, her loans, her liberty aud indepen
dence, have been the most expensive and
fraudulent bubble which hisever been got
ten up in this country. It was a mere
stock exchange trick from the beginning,
and the English patriots who eucouragcd
it were mostly stock-brokers, share-hold
ers, and the traffickers to the Alley. From
the first proclamation of Spanhb indepen
dence, England has lost, in various loans,
from fifteen to twenty millions, besides suf
fering innumerable 3om mere ini fraud*;—
Our commerce with these colonies, for the
last three years, has been a more chandler’s
shop account. We proved it from the late
financial accounts, to be inferior ui magni
tude and impoi tance to the commerce which
we now carry on with’ the Barbrry States.
Whilst those colonies belonged to Old
Spain, they were abundantly supplied,
through the markets of (hat country , with
all the staples of British industry, manufac
tures and art. Since their emancipation,
as it has been called, all this trade, to the
extent at least in which it has been carried
on, has been diverted into another current,
and absorbed by North America
“ We are satisfied that neither the mo
ral nor religious feelings, nor the commer
cial interests of Great Biitain, can be op
posed tothe success of the Spauisn expo
tion to Mexico.”
The Tiroes, of the 21 ult. ob
serves*—
* Our commerce was on so immense a
scale as to embrace the consumption of the
whole world ; but tlien it required a woi Id’s
consumption for its aliment. That was a
war condition —an unnatural cooditiou. la
peace, other countries felt the desire, aod
saw the possibility, of ministering to their
own wants; aod they have been much en
abled to supply themselves by the transfer
of British capital to their dominion?, Lu
gland, therefore, must sooner or later bo
content to let her ueighbouis share largely
in that foreign cominetce which once (and
for years) was exclusively her own. She
mast contract her manufacturing theatre,
aud become less absolutely an instrument
of mechanical production ; the transition
may be trying, but it must and will take
piac.p. The taxes, moreover, must and
will force themselves, and that rudely, upon
the minds of statesmen. England now,
making allowance for the altered currency,
raises more money by taxes than at the
highest period of the war. Os the reve
nue so created, a far larger proportion than
at any period of the war goes to the mere
payment of interest on the public securi
ties: that is to suv, a far larger positive
sum than when the loans were heaviest,
and expenses most enormous. Os the re
venue so raised, and the burdens so endur
ed, a much more formidable portion falls
upon the middling aud lower classes now
than when the war was raging. While iho
taxes have not in fact diminished, the price
of labour, and the profit of capital have,
beyond a question, been fearfully reduced,
and the general ability has been retrograd
ing, as compared with the gendeai pres
sure. 1
