My Dear Sir, I take the liberty to enclose you an Address and Prospectus for the Extra Globe, hoping that it may lie compatible with your inch* nation and sense of duty to use them ior the purpose of procuring and returning subscribers. If in that hope I shall be disappointed, 1 solicit of you the favor to hand it over to some friend of the administration who may be inclined louse it i for the purpose.

With great respect. \our friend, AMOS KENDALL. Raisin , Leuawceco. Michigan. Sir, I hereby acknowledge the receipt of y our letter of the 28th ult. enclosing your Address and Prospectus, and after due consideialion, I return them, "franked” as they came, although 1 have i my doubts about its being agreeable to law so to | do. Vet if contrary to law, I ca., plead your own I precedi nt as extenuation for my exercise of the j “franking” privilege, and for my charity in saving Jifiy cents of the “ hard currency” in which yo.ir soul so much delights, for yourself and needy family. I will give you a few plain reasons why I return to the source from which they emanated w : thout I complying with your request. Your language is j not republican. It is ifbt such as one democrat ! should use to another where democratic equality is piofessed to be reciprocally ai knowledge*!. i You speak of "sense of duty” —What do you i mean by that. Sir] Uoyou mean that because I have hid a petty offioejitocc dependent on your J favor, that I am bound to forego all independence ■ of character, and serve, von from a “ sense of duty?" Talk that language, Sir, to the "serfs” of ] Russia. Democrats scorn it. They owe no a//c- j gianee to would-be dictators or upstart dema* j goguc*. You pretend to be patriotic and zealous for your country. Your past conduct belies your pro- ' tiessions. You have acted a prominent part in ihe councils of those who have brought our country to the verge of ruin, and our republic to the thres hold of a monarchy. I think X understand your motives. You talk the same language which the Robes piers. D.nitons, and Caesars have always talked. While you profess democracy and love for the dear people you are artfully sapping the very foundation* of lhai democracy. Again you are most insultingly hypocritical. You talk in your Address about members of the Whig party “ Franking” documents, when you know that Van Bureniics have ••franked’’ three to their one, a large proportion o 1 which are bully Duncan’s blackguardisms, which you are pleased to say **have a spice of coarseness suited to tnc We tern people.” Quite a compliment, indeed, and one for which they will doubtless thank you and your master as they should at the ballot box next November. The charge of ••contempt fur the people,” you arc pleased to prefer against Harrisonians is, from the above false issue particularly applicable to yourself. You say a '‘sham hero” was presented to the people in the person of Harrison. And pray, sir, where was you when the battle of Tippecanoe, Fort Meigs, and the Thames was fought 1 Where was you when Harrison the “sham hero,” as you are pleased to call him, chased a flying foe into the heart of Canada, and their conquered him 1 Was you teaching school in Kentucky, or like a poisonous basahsk in the sunshine of Mr. Clay’s favor, or opposing Mr. Madison and the War, like your master, Van Buren? Answer these questions to your own conscience. Surrounded with court splendors in the gor geously furnished palace of Mr. Van Buren, you may imagine that the people will sus ain you and and him in your aristocratic pride and pomp, be cause you profess democracy. Deceive not your self, sir, To show in what estimation the hardy hack woodsmen and u .og cabin boys ” regard von, Michigan will give * o\dT\y” two thoas^kj l majority next fall, in spite ofyoar “Extra Globe.” Note it down now in a hook, and mark the re sult. As my sheet is full, I now close with this remark—ls my office *M considered the price of obedience to monarchical dictation, it is at the service of those who gave it.

The government of Martin Van Buren has destroyed credit and confidence, and the Sub- Trcasuiy law which has just received the appro val ol the President, has, for one of its objects, the REDUCTION OF THE WAGES OF LABOR; so that while the people are to be TAXED, and these raxes arr to be paid in GOLD AND SILVER, ihe means of procutiog even shin plasters are w ithheld from the people. In short, the tendency of all the measures of government, is to reduce the people to a state of V ASSALAGE ; to render them, if not in name at least indeed the SUBJECTS of a nus-caUed Republican government; to bleak down the American spirit, and to quench in the Dreast of the people that burning spark of Freedom and Independence which they inherited Irom their Revolutionary fathers, and to render them Ihe tools of a President who is endeavoring to be come “ every inch a KING !” We call upon t‘>e American people to look at the “signs of the times!’ 5 The creation of a STANDING ARMY is' threatened.

Fellow-citizens, I have already detained you j longer than 1 wished or expected, and in conclu : sion would exhort you to throw aside all your prejudice and party lre)ing—-I for ! yolfrselves —cWlfemplale the wide spread ruin which threatens to desolate our whole coun'ry— | confidence lost—commerce prostrated—credit ru ined—the currency deranged—(he prices of labor : and produce reduced to almost nothing—and in a i word every interest of society has been most tn | Juriou-Iy affected by the unnatural war which the administration has waged against the credit and institutions of the country. I call upon the U nion men of Muscogee, the old Jackson party with whom I have battled time and again in de fence of our principles, to rally around the Re {fublican standard of the Hero of Tippecanoe and put down the corrupt and corrupting rulers by whose measures the country has been brought to the Very verge of ruin. Elect General Harri son and the sun of prosperity may once more arise with healing on his wings, bunging good prices so our labor and produce, with their atten dant blessings. Let the voice of Muscogee be bearu in even louder tones than in 1836—when she told a majority ol 4UO against Van Buren. Your fellow-citizen, SEYMOUR R. BONNER. Onr Prospects.

After having informed the “ Democrats” that it would not be come them to celebrate the anniversary of Indepen dence “ this year with hilarity and mirth,” but with “ solemnity and fervor,” and moreover de claring that the danger to liberty is not less now than it was in 1776, addressing himself to the “ Democrats,” he makes use of tile following lan guage: “ It is not note that they are called upon to de fend their liberty infields of blood. Through your own right of sulliage, Democrats of America, tne enemy attacks you, and in that is your present defence. Your weapons aie, as yet those of. peace, and, by a resolute use of them, the occa sion for a resort to other meatfi of defence may be forever averted.” Can any person of the most ordinary discern ment fail to understand the meaning of this r This article was published before tbe 4th of July; a day on which we usually expect to find feelings of festivity prevalent. If there is any day in the year in which the vitulence of party animosity might naturally be supposed likely to be laid aside, it is the anniversary of independence. The man who, on such an occasion and for such an object, could use such language and utter such sentiments as these, is far mo e dangerous than the miscreant who plunders a house at midnight, and, to protect himself, sets fire :o .is building and des troys the family. This is thelauguage, and these arc the sentiments of the savage butchers of Paris during the most bloody period of their revolution. The language and the sentiments are those ol Mu rat and Robespierre, and their tendencies are to lead a desperate party to imbrue their hands in the blood of their opponents. “ Surear on the Fourth of July,' 1 says the American Rabespierre, “to avert that catastrophe that is, sulming the of Van Buren to get possession of the Gorernmlnt, its Tieasury, and its Army—“ band together, and prepare to march to the polß, not with arms, or knives, or clubs, to beat and butcher your fellow citizens, but with hearts firmer resolved by an honest and independent exercise of the right of suffrage, to avcrffAe possible necessity cf march ing hereafter in battle array to put down usur pation.” Let it be remembered that the writer of these daring, desperate, and sanguinary sentiments was lately one of President Van Buien’s confidential counsellors and advisers; that he was taken from a station at the head of one of the Departments of the Government, audput intotheoffiee of the Globe, the confidential paper of the Exepalrvc; that he « rites what is publisued in an extra sheet, nhd Is di-ti jbuird by thousands aiiGna^s hw ” w c»* ***** the hands of ‘he most desperatb members of the community, where it is read in secret, and, to a great extent, is concealed from the public eye, and of course, is left to produce its full effects, unex posed and uncontradicted, upon the minds of those to whom it is addressed. Hcs it not become neces sary, indispensably necessary for the opponents of Van Buren to rouse themselves to new and mate vigorous exeitions in defence of their rights, privi leges, and freedom ? From the third number cf the Extra Globe. Fourth of July. “ It becomes Democrats this jjear to go into the celebration of our great anniveßary, not with hi lairty and mirth, but with stflhbnity and fervor. They should go into it with something of the feel ing whch our fathers did in ITWand 1779, when British hirelings were attempting to quench the flame of liberty in the best blood of America. The danger is now less than it was then. The hire lings, not of the Biitish Throne, bit of ‘ that power behind the Throne greater than tae Throne itself,’ the British Bank, are marching and countermarch ing througn our land, exploring and invading every nook ai d%co:ner where liheity has pitched her camp, to mislead, debase, soldiers, and induce them to desert her glorious standard. In the Congress of the United States, a body crea ted by the people of the Males to watch upon the ramparts the movements of the enemy, she finds an organized band of adherents resolutely engaged in seducing the garrison from its allegiance,, and preparing to throw open the galgs to bis welcome approach. The power and privileges vested in the Representatives of the people to facilitate thru business and make liberty perpetual are, in an or ganized and resolute effort, now perverted to the debasement of the people and tbe destruction of all they were designed to secure. “ Let Democrats these things as they go to celebrate the Fourth of July. Let the re - flection make them serious and thoughtful. Let them remember the pie .ges of their forefathers to each other on this sacred day in 1777, ’7B, ’79, ’BO and ’Bl, when fire and the sword drove around ilrem, and the penalties of treason were before them. Let tuis remembrance inspire them with the resolution of thcii fathers, and induce them to swear their father’s oath, to live free oh die. It is not now that they aie called on to defend their liberty in fields of blood. Through your own right of suffrage, Democrats of America, the ene my attacks you, and in that is you present de fence. Your weapons are, as vet, those of peace, and by a resolute use of them, the occasion for a resort to other means of be for ever averted. But should you, by listftsness and indif ference, suffer the enemy to get possession of your Government, of its Treasury, and its Army, you may not be able hereafter to place in Congress, in the Executive Chair, or even in your State Le gislatures tbp representatives of your choice; the at Harrisburg may be every where suceessfully consummated, and your free Government be at once transformed into one of usur; ation and of arms. “ Swear on the Fourth of July to avert that catas trophe. Band together, and prepare to march to the polls, not with arms, or knives, or clubs, to beat and butcher your fellow-citizens, but with hearts firmly resolved, by an honest and indepen dent exercise of the right of suffrage, to avert the possible necessity of marching hereafter in battle array to putdown usurpation. “ Organize democratic associations every where! There is no more fitting time for it than the Fourth of July. Call upon every Democrat who can speak to discuss our principles, and challenge the adver sary io the discussion. But discussion is not all that is necessary. ‘ Work in season and out of season.’ is tbe motto of the enemy, and by ‘*i ork’ he must be counteracted. By ‘ work ’ light must be sent among the people. By ‘work’ the firm must be aroused, the wavering strengthened, and the honest among the adversaries converted. And, finally, by ‘work’ every Democrat in every county and town in the country must be brought to the polls. “ Let us organize—organize for ‘ work’ as well as for talk —organize in such away as to pervade every neighborhood, and reach every freeman. Let us make the Fourth of July, 1840, memo rable in the annals of our country for the rally of the People to preserve the liberty and independ ence which were proclaimed in 1776. A decided rally on that day will stiike terror into the ranks of our already wavering enemy, make the contest short, and the victory decisive. “ Serious and resolute, let every democrat come out to the celebration of tire glorious day, deter mined, by devoting himself anew to nis country, to brighten its glories and make them perpetual.” It is expected that the Nashville Convention will be attended by from 30,000 to 40,000 per sons. • wq%W» it tnoSr refiqvsr the antfety of tbqdistant friends of Mr.. r HABERSHAM.'fiy he is Bow so much better an ttTbe out 8f danger. ’■[ " Mlssocbi.—Two large Whig ifleetings weij : held is the city of St. Loliis reCe fitly,—T'h'b edi tor of the* Bulletin says: ** When we took around ns, and see whole.

A Speech ol Senator Preston. There was on Tuesday* 7th July, an immense gathering of the friends ofGeneral Harrison atEliz abethtown, New Jersey, who were addressed by Senator Tallmadge, Mr. Ketchum, of New York, and Senator Preston, of South Carolina. Mr. Pres ton succeeded Mr. Ketchum, and hi»' appearance was the signal for » round of cheers that made the ' welkin rirg again,as we learn from the New Vork • American. When silence was restored, Mr. €*• thus began, as reported by the American : Fellow-Citizens—Gentlemen of New Jer sey : I appear before you under so many disadvan tages, some of which are obvious, and others I shall mention, that 1 should, under any ordinary circumstances, content myself with acknowledg , ing, in brief, but grateful terms, my deep sense of the kindness and cordiality w-ith which I have been welcomed by yott" But there is something i in my heart that f would fain speak out.and which forbids my leaving tbe soil oMSqwJersey without . relieving my breast of the butden'Mish oppresses J i it. I come from a recent rapid tour, not fltiteeatuj J i panied by labor. I have been up the noble HucP -v i son, and,in the spirit of the people at Poughkeep t sie, on its shores, and in its wide and dcepeiltrent, : 1 have seen emblems of the progtess, of the sure , and irresistible progre s, of the principles for I which we are contending. Last night, too, in New ■ York, I addressed an assembly, only smaller than this because inclemency of the weathei circum i scribed it within walls. Hence I appear before you f worn down; and this is one of the disadvantages to which 1 referred. lam a stranger to—(General ■ ext tarnations of “ No, no, yen fire ofiStranger.”) I take-back the word, exclaimed RfcP., with , energy; lom aaf a stranger to New 1 i have read youflrtyhpt history. 1 have heanWlßi -1 ;Jhq lips of my own ancestors, who stood shoulder' i to shoulder with jours on your own soil, of the lie f roiflVt and sufferings of New Jersey ; and from the , days of my boyhood, I have longed to tread the • fields esßsefcraied by so much gallantry and cn- Beared by so many associations. 1 am, too, a citi r l-rw-NrenreXJ-v—a NixlM, Una there fore no stran : ger; a Whig, and therefore your brother. Bntun -1 der what circumstances dq we meet ? How shall I I recur to the gallant deeds of your ancestors, and reconcile your present position with the fact that I scarce a field but has l-pen trodden by the foot of Washington —that not a spear of grass but was f wet with the blood of your fathers—that ( ; .Every sod beneath our feet Has been a soldier’s sepulchre ? How is it that the spirit of those days has not ; roused you to unanimous opposition to the (Ultra- j ges you have been made to suffer ? What did your ancestors fight for ? Read tbe enumeratjoh of the : evils and wrongs they rose to avesgelßed then ask . yoprselves if those now inflicted on you are fewer in amount, or less exasperating in character; ard yelyou are tame. Vou are expeired from the Un ion, and yet you endure. Fellow-citize»s, did f say. lam not your fellow-citizen. You are not citizens of the United States; you are not mem bers of the great Union. Yon have been turned out us it; and a manufactory of RpitaMteH has been set up at Washington, subjects as the machine turns but lam aware that,*in general, to be made for what is done at Wasßirffoßfand that judgements are net hastily) ts he VUIIOCdUF' measures there adopted; but the case witb'you is so flagrant; you have been so cohtemptuoßsly, and for base party purpose, driven out of the-Union, that even X can ill suppress the indignation I feel, or accurately define the proper limit of opposition. But had it been my State instead of yours, had it been South Carolina instead of New Jersey, I should have been at no loss, and, even now, I am disposed to apply the language of Lord Chatham, in reference to the American Colonies, and say, were I a Jerseyman, as I am a South Carolinian, ' while my rights as a member of this Union are vio lated, 1 would never lay down my arms, never, never, never. I speak not of tbe arms of violence and blood, but the arms of the law and the ballot box; an I these arms you will not, I trust, lay down till you have reconquered your position, ga thered up the fragments of your broken seal, and knit them again together in beauty and unity ; till you have rescued your draggled flag from beneath the feet of the mercenaries who have trampled on , it, and home it onward in triumph cven to the dome of the Capitol.

Even-tae. glorious annals of. our coviuVy are not sacred tc them; for, in the address ot the iVanjßuren members of the New York Legislature, which ha&been copied and commended in all their prints,!, is averred that the Ravolutiouary contest itself was undertaken for base personal pufj»o>e>*, and that the design was, not to vindicate freedom, butto.e-tablish a monarchy at home..

From the Georgia Journal: Chief Justice Taney and 31r. Van Bureiu At the April Tcim, 1840, of the Circuit court of the United Steles, for the District of ?»I ary land, a trial took place of an individual from the Island of Manilla who was culled Lorenzo Dow, and who had been sent by an American consul to Baltimore, charged with the crime of murdering on the high seas, Oapt W. C. Lano-soix, a citi zen of Boston. No while person was on board the vessel when the captain was murdered, but there were three ?iegracv whom the district attor ney proposed sending to the Grand Jury as wit nesses against the prisoner Upon the admission of such testimony r very interesting and learned arguments took place, both in favor of,by lliepro ; seculiug attorney, and against, the admission, by the count el for the prisoner. Mu. Chief Jus tice Taney, an Administration man, and ts warm friend of Mr. Van Burcn , delivered the opinion of tlie Court, which was in substance this: that had the prisoner been a white man, the testimony of the negroes was inadmissible; but inasmuch “as-the person did not stand in the condition of a Christian white perron of the Eutopean race, the evidence offered by the U. States was admissible against him.” Now this is the decision of Mr. Chief Justice Taney. He, in-the decision oftnis most important tribal quo.- - . tion, involving in it the same principles conten ded for by Lieut. Hooe, is decidedly with that gentleman, and in opposition to Mr. Van Huren. He, Mr. Chief Justice Taney, could see some thing to condemn in the introduction of negro testimony against a white man, and that too, in a legal point of view ; but Mr. Van Buren, neith er legaly, nor morally , could see anything which required his interference. A Southern man, a Virginian by birth, must have his feelings insul ted, and his rights trampled upon, and when the President is appealed to, to do him justice, he is told by that functionary, with a coolness displaying to the world how heartless is the man, that he secs ndlfdng in tl\p proceedings that re quires his interference ; and yet this man is said to he a friend of the South and of Southern insti tutions \ What presumption ! and how insult ing to the common sense understanding of every Georgian, is such a rem.iik .when addresred to them ! A friend of |tha Sohfh. indeed I Whv, his every act, involving our interests, cither di rectly or indirectly, proves him to he the very reverse of such an assumption; and what is more so far from being duped by such a cry on the part of his partisans, the people of our Sb-ilfe view * the effort to palm him upon them as a friend their institutions, with the most sovereign cup tempt, which has been •before at tne polls, and which will be.thftro agpin displayed.
