Hn HE first number of litis highly iittpnr-
JL taut and valuable Work, is now ready
for delivery to subscribers. We beg lea'e
respectfully lo call the attention of’our citi
zens to the praiseworthy objects it has in
view, and for the promotion of which it has
been put into operation.
There has not probably heretofore been a
time when the attention of the people of this
country was as much engaged on the subject
of the Silk Culture, as at present; nor a lime
when those who have already embarked in
this business, fell such entire conll fence, riot
nilv that liberal profits may he derived from
it, but also in their ability to produce as good
Silk as can be procured in any pari of the
world. It is believed, that all that is now
wanting to fully establish this great interest
in ibis country, with all its \ast advantages,
is hit the dissemination of plain practical in
formation concerning it; audio convince our
citizens of what we know to he true, viz: that
there is no more difficulty about raising a
crop of silk, than there is in procuring a crop
of grain. The capital thus bestowed, yields
a far greater return than can bn obtained
from any other branch of husbandry. The
E litors have long been engaged in the Silk
Culture, and intend hereafter to give it their
entire attention. They have made extensive
arrangements for feeding the Silk-worm,
and cultivating that invaluable species of
Mulberry tree, the Morus Mtiliieaulis. And,
from their long experience in the occupation
and extensive correspondence with silk-grow
ers, they believe they may say,, without os
tentation, that they shall be able to make the
AMERICAN SILK-GROWER, useful &■
entertaining, and to communicate through its
information as valuable, respecting
every branch of the silk business, as can be
elsewhere obtained in the United States. A
portion of the work will be devoted to noting
the modern improvements of Agriculture,
and such matters as are generally useful to
the cultivators of the soil.
The Proprietors respectfully solicit contri
butions on Agricultural subjects generally—
and also the Siik-Gmwing Business in par
ticular. Address the Editors, WA RD CHE

From the Democratic Review.
HOW STANDS THE VASE !
‘Watchman, how -arsthe night ?'—is tin /
cte. , , . I
I question many a time u..,eu luring the inter,
: vals of the storm, by those wito sleep secur.j,
ly in their reliance on the vigilance oftli
humble but faithful guardian of the pubic
I'U.iquriity; and happy is it when the a«-
s\ver*o returned, that‘the storm is over aid
the day is breaking.' Sueii is the ausv.er
we cau return, from our watch-tower of tb
servaliou, to the friends who would ask low
fares the cause of Democracy, through the
season of night am.' :rm through which it
lias had to pass. Tilt, storm is over aud the
day is breaking—a day of triumph cn 1 re
joicing; and though.it is yet to be marke tby
an auluuus Cunt ye,’ twe nave at IF
light prayed for by the Grecian hero', ahf
witli so righteous a cause, under banner
that we are so well assuted to -be iuvinc. de,
we ran have no misgivings as to the issue
with which it is to be closed and crowned.
There is every thing, in the present as
pect of the great contest that is in progress
throughout the country, to cheer and encour
age the friends of the Democratic cause, —
every thing to cause their bosoms to swell
high with patriotic hope and an honorable
pride. All the signs of the times which are
exhibiting themselves over the surface in ev
ery direction, confirm the view wo have be
fore taken of this important Political crisis, in
the pages of the Democratic Review, that it
is one of those periodical 'castings of the skin’
which are equally unavoidable, to a strung
democratic majority long in the tr'secmlai •
and indispensable to pteserve it in parpen, il
health, youth, and vigor. This process, : j’
always painful and critical, is now in pro .r ■ -
with the most favorable circumstances anil
auspices that we could desire ; and our con
fidence in its result, which has never waver
ed an instant, is receiving every day anew
and clearer confirmation.—Such will contiu -
tie to be the history of the democratic parly j
in this country, from time to time, so long as
our government, both Federal and State, is
administered on the principles which have
heretofore directed it, cf legislating upon the t
privateand partial interests of individuals and
classes; especially if its connexion with the
great moneyed interests of the country —now J
... | v - j-„ 1 t,. - r . J
—should he resumed. In that caselhcexpe-f
riencc of the future will most assuredly con-|
firm, again and again, that of the past, vizi
that the power of the majority will constantly
tend more or less to abuse, to favor the inter-_
csts of a certain influential class of political
leaders, who, deriving their prominence ori
ginally from the generous zeal oftheir repub
lican opinions and sentiments, in early lde,
become insensibly warped from the great aud
broad abstract principles of that faith, by the
too long possession both of political power and
personal influence—so ns in truth to be no
longer fit and worthy leaders to a party whose
animating spirit must always lie a generous
enthusiasm in behalf of those great principles.
Democracy is hold and energetic, unresting in
its perpetual striving! vftr.t a better gs*A r -*«-
higher perfection of social institutions.—None
can be unconscious that our whole scheme of
political institutions, under both the Federal
and Stale Constitutions, is very far from be
ing purely democratic. Though democracy
is their prevalent principle, and their original
root and basis, yet in all it is more or less
combined with so many checks upon its free
dom ofdevelopement, and so large an infusion
of elements of an opposite character, that they
are far indeed from perfection; and lar in
deed from producing all those glorious and
beneficial results, of general social well-be
ing, towards which the imagination of the po
litical enthusiast so earnestly aspires, and of
which he is so profoundly convinced that, in
their simple natural purity, the great princi
ples ofhis faith do contain the germs. De
mocracy, then, among us, must al.vm’Sbe T?
restless, progressive,’ reforming, principle.—
The utmost extent to which it can ever be
deemed possible by any one to carry forward
the great mission of democratic amelioration
in the condition of society, in any present
generation, must still fall veiy far short of
that ideal standard which must exist in the
mind, and in the prophetic hope, of every’
democratic thinker, truly imbued with the spi
rit of his noble and sublimely simple faith.
But it must be perpetually tending forward
towards such amelioration—perpetually en
gaged in some new reform, some new simpli
fication, or the extirpation of some element in
our institutions of which time has practically
developed the evil character and influence.
Such being the inherent character of de
mocracy, it is impossible for such a class i t
men as referred to above* the old influemj
leaders and managers of the party orgnt za
lion, who gradually form themselves like ;
crust over its surface, always to retain the
relation to the broad triass of their parly
which they originally owed to the enthusiast -
anil devotion now chilled by the torpor an I
natural timidity of age. and looofteo corrupt
ed by the acquisition of wealth—favored and
facilitated by the direction which their ov i
political influence may have given to t! •
' nurse of public events. We entertain ti r

*’■ *ity adera- • ach is, on the cuo'rary,
q a .sidy one of the most unequivocal sytnp-
L ", that its main body is in a soil ml ami
r-Hhhy state; and that it is passing, in a na
t i.i and favorable manner, through one of
ti fee periodical crises necessary to preserve
■■f such a state. It isengaged in its natutnl
a|l proper mission, that of reform; and there
s. >■ must necessarily expect to encounter the
h} ulity, not only of the main body of its old
c ' onents, but of those among its own former
Sets interested in the perpetuation of the
e?i', against which its eflbrlsare now dirert
i• lthemselves. Democracy isthe vital prin
ioofour system; and it is now engaged in
r.t artiest struggle with a deeply seated dis
le . which lmd insensibly been suffered to
uv_. rsgread the body politic, till the painful
11 of its morbid action has aroused
a the healthful energy of the principle of
F ■ to arrest its further progress, and at least
t: -‘xpel ii from its too close proximity to the
ill. us of the constitution. Such a struggle for
tut: ascendency must necessarily he long, and,
trimutiy, seemingly drubtful—iiillaming the
jjKils system with fever, and convulsing it
\xUh, “-ffiering—but \re have never permitted
II i.,l ives, for a moment, to doubt the ultimate
if umph of nature < ver the disease; and we
r j|tcat, that all the symptoiAi now disclosing

i ’ wild probably have been overthrown. No
parly could ever successfully, in a general
election, face such a tempest as then swept,’
r iging and howling, over the land. Tliisnd
t fission in no respect impugns the cardinal
<. TioCratic doctrine of confidence in the pop
ularjudgment, lor which it is never intended
u claim either an absolute infallibility, or an
*\f;.plion from' temporary influences ofex
fenicut and panic. Asa body it may bo
slid to have been disorganized— demoralized
:f speak in military phrase. Randy have
tlfe leaders of a great party, in the constant
.‘■■juggles of parties in free tales, been thrown
suddenly into a more critical and arduous
position. But they proved not unequal to
; occasion, not untrue to their cause. The
a*-~ t ' the Uxth a Session saved the
< atisc aud saved the country. They planted
themselves on a rock of impregnable princi
ple, and unfurling a flag that 'streamed like
a meteor to the troubled air,’ sounded a most
gallant rallying note, over the whole length
and breadth of the land, to invite their party
t) gather around that rock of refuge, and rc
(ontbine their broken organization under the
; hadow of that flag. A year has not yet c
lapsed, and the course of events is already
xapiilly* justifying the bold wisdom of the high
position then assumed. The process of re
organization has been steadily going forward,
hi spite of the herculean exertion of open foes
from without, and false friends within, to im
; ode and distract it ; and though not yet rn-
Hirely consummated, has readied a stage that
Aqnite satUfactory to us, as placing its ulti
crnuplv’tc success beyond fear of dungr r.
The Democracy has recovered from its pa
ralysis of panic, and is beginning to put
fort!) again the energies of its renewed youth.
In no former contest has il ever evinced a
finer and nobler spirit. This is signally
shewn in the primary assemblies of the peo-‘
pie, which have of late appeared every where
animated l.y the most generous zeal and the
highest confidence—that zeal and confidence
which, springing alone from a deep sense of
the righteousness of the Democratic side of
the great issue now joined, are both the strong
est incentives to exertion, and the surest har
bingers of success.
The same fine spirit breathes, in a ‘till more
■striking manner, fiomthc Democratic press.
This truth, which is indeed at die present
period vety remarkable, can only, perhaps,
<U_ tody appreciated by those w h > possess the
oppo.(unity ofoKervalion afforded by a wide
ly extended exchange over the w hole Union,
with papers of all political complexions.—
Though iu numhr t not equalling probably the
part of their opponents —and almost
.universally inferior iu rno-l of those elements
of success which depend on die liberality
jwith which tlwy are supported by the public
—yet the Democratic papers, throughout the
eountiy, exhibit, at the present period, a con
trast to die Whig press equally favorable and
-
remarkable! 'i iiey aie fu' of energy, bold
”fQ .i ”
ness, confidence, Ntness, argiuriciit and
. 5 ,.» . °
eloquence. The lea ~ftg questions at issue
present such ample materials for the most
convincing address t-.' e judgments of their
renders, and the most storing appeals to their
patriotic and democratic sentiments, that it
would be strange indeed if sueii was not the
case. I we possess an advantage in
the strength of our cause, for
whir’ fit the numbers of the Whig press—
all the liberality with which they arc sustain
ed by the mercantile and moneyed interests,
to which they are especially devoted—all
theii uiglily Hushed hopes of victory, and of
reward lor the hardships oftheir long sojourn
it. the desert of minority—all the fluent pens
of their ready writers—nil the specious soph
isms they have derived from the tnysiilica
ous modern imposture and humbug, credit
money, have been able to involve the sub
jects of currency aud commerce—all the ad
vantages of attack which they have had, in
assailing so extensive and complicated a sys
tem of executive administration, after so long
a period of power and redundant public rev
enue—and all the vocabulary of popular
catchwords which has so long constituted the
main bulk of their editorial stock in trade—
can afford but a poor equivalent. The con
trast between the two parties in this respect
is very apparent. The frieuds of the admini
stration have a distinct and specific policy to
pursue and defend. It is boldly pul forward,
and held on high, as being itself its best re
commendation, ifonly sutfered to bo fairly
carried out in practice. It is simple and
transparent. All cun readily understand it,
and it is impossible long to attempt to misre
present and mystify it. Its friends write their
principles mi their foreheads; embody them
in iho most clear and full expositions oflliem;
and even have recourse to unusual forms to
pm forth the most authentic declarations of
them. They are all, moreover, of an une
quivocal democratic character. They go to
disconnect the federal government from an ul
liance with great moneyed interests which
| may readily he a fruitful source of corrupt po
, liticul iutluence—to place commerce andcur
j reucy on a secure basis of reliance on the na
j tural laws of trade, and of independence ol
the perpetual agitation of onr political con
i' tests —to guard against a danger which, hav
ing occurred, tuny occur again, of the govern
ment Ocing thrown, by a power extraneous
1 from itself, upon a state of temporary bank
ruptcy in the midst of the profusion of a large
1 surplus revenue—to intioduce a safe and
stable uniformity in the fiscal operations of
the government, which can never ho affect
ed by the fluctuations to which till paper mo
ney systems must always be, confessedly, Ji
! tible—to obviate the possibility of iho futgie
J accumulation of a redundant revenue, with
all the evils and abuses inseparable from such
1 n fiscal plethora as that with which wo were
lately afflicted—to surrender a branch of ex
ecutive influence so potent and dangerous
that, but a few years back, nocloqiicnee could
exhaust the language of denunciation with
which it was assailed by' those who are now !
most strenuous in oppo-idon to its proposed
reform—to euitail and simplify die federal
action, in a very material and salutary de
gree, iu its influence upon die institutions
and legislation of the stales —to place itsclf'in
an attitude of sit id neutrality between the
two parties whose opposition of views on the
general subject of hanks and paper money is
now only beginning to agitate the country ;
so as neither to extern! an artificial support to
those institutions by the loan ofits credit and
revenue, nor on the other hand to attack or
injure tliem in the least degree—at the same
time that it places itself aloof, in safe exemp
tion from the dangers which it has already
experienced in its connection with them, and
; to which, from their nature, they must al
ways continue more or less liable. These
are the leading features of the system of poli
cy on which the administration has planted
itself, to stand or tall with the popular ralifi
! cation or condemnation of these principles,
1 as involved in its great measure of the Inde
pendent Treasury.
As accessory and subordinate to this, its
'cardinal idea, the Democratic party puts
Ibrdi hold and distinct avowals of opinion on
all other importaut subjects naturally connect
ed with the girt era I politics of the Union;
marking out in strong Shies the limits w ithin
which it restricts its own action by its owu
pledge and declarations of doctrine. It is for
freedom of trade, and opposed to all monopo
ly legislation, and unequal distribution of pub
lie burthens, whether in the form of tariffs or
otherwise. It is for the strict construction of
the Constitution, and for the restriction of the
action of the federal centre within the nar
rowest limits consistent with its plainly dcclar- 1
ed functions and objects. It is opposed to the
interference of the General Government, di
rectly or indirectly, whether with the local in
terests of the states, by means of internal im
provements, or with the private municipal
and social institutions, of whatever nature
they may he—connecting itself neither with ;
die one side nor the other of the dillerent ques- 1
lions arising, as purely domestic questions,
out of them.
On the other hand, with what is it oppos- ’
ed I The cardinal idea cl the opposition is;
undeniably, :i National Bank, though even
this :l dots nor venture to avow unequivocal
ly and manfully. It is still kept partially in
the back ground. A shadowy vagueness of
noncommittal. Mil overspreads all its exposi
tions of its doctrines aud future policy; or
thcr it puts forth no such expositions.—They
cannot be distinctly extorted, in unequivocal
terms. It issues no other manifestoes, than
calls for conventions to select 'the most avail
able candidates’ for the Rresidenrial contest:
Though it is undeniable that the great ques
tion at issue is tins. National Bunk or Inde
pendent Treasury, a considerable portion of its
supporters, iu certain sections of the Union;
profess to disavow the advocacy Ufa Bank;
while most strenuous in ffielr elForts to over

try and such an institution; and to bring iiitd
pow er tbc men and the party whose first act
cannot be any other than the immediate es
tablishment oFsue!i a one, on a yet 1 grander
scale of power and capital than eithermf thd
two former. All shadcsof political complex
ion are united iu their ranks. The profess
ing State Rights representative of Southern
and Western Republicanism is foremost in
the orgies of a Eaneuil Hall. A great deni tst
said about 'Whig principles ; but what they
are, save a generous purposo to ‘heal thd
wounds of the bleeding Constitution,’or soniO
such beautiful figurative degiga or other—to
‘drive out the Philistines;' and cuter tliern
selves # upon the enjoyment of the milk and
honey ol the Promised Land—it is Impossi
ble toascerluiu, mid difficult to guess. Do
ling the late administration there was a suf
ficient degree ol'pluusibilily in theory of *ex-
appealing to our natural
jealousy of its tendency to excess, to utford and
tolerable common rallying ground to the scat
tered and heterogeneous elements of w hich
the opposition was composed. But this pre :
tension can no longer be maintained with any
show of decency ; and is now scarcely in fact
attempted, except occasionally by a few faint
aud feeble voices, from the mere force of Hub
it, though no longer cheered on by the rever T
Iteration of a thousand echoes. The streali*
of the executive action, swollen for atirpe, by
the agitation of the political clctnttils, iijt It?
the full level of its banks, has now so mani
festly subsided back to its narrowest limits, ns
to make uuy affectation ofulann at its rushing
(otietil 100 lidicidnus to fie uuy lodger even'
pretended. The general tendency of the prin
ciples Jv. policy of iho administration itself, iff
undoubtedly, at all points, to reduce the cen
tral action of our federal system—aud with if
necessarily the executive activity in similar
proportion. In all the subordinate practices
of administration, the fiery ordeal of opposi
tion ill'll has boon maintained so long against
it l as brought it to a point of purity, anil
strict propriety of even the humblest defifils*
entirely unexampled in so extensive and com
plicated a system Thfc unfortunate Indian
wars which have consumed so much blood
and treasure, are in vain sought to be turned
to account as an ‘available’ground of party
attack, the whole subject being purely of a
military and not a political Character; and
the only possible error that rif\ br. ehprjed
upon the administration being one that leans'
to virtue's side, in siir.h a case, natnelv, that
of placing too lavishly the amplest means of
i action at the disposal of the responsible com
; inanders in the field. Nothing in fact re
mains to the Whigs but the two stereotyped 1
phrases, ‘the credit system,’ and ‘the infam
ous Sub-'J'reasvry,’ with some dilusivechar
ges of extravagances, during the course of
the late administration—which, w ith all their
I specious arrays of figures, and contrast's of
mund numbers, in frCiih vanish utterly into
: thin air on a critical scrutiny. These in fact
| now constitute their whole provision of mate-
rial—so low lias the course of events reduced
ilie stock once so overflowing! Instead of
the anl/arrai ttr richtssm once so troublesome
to the Whig editor, he is now Compelled, by
way of slight variety to his beggarly array of
empty paragraphs, or the sohntling verbiage
of his air-inflated columns, to strain every
nerve to lash up a patriotic indignation a
gain-t the administration, because, forsooth*
a writer in a prominent Democratic journal*
in his desire to reform some abuses which*
according to universal consent, have grown?
up in the navy, happens to be less courtly
arid delicate in style than a similar article
which appeared simultaneously in the very
journal especially devoted to the interests aru#
honor of that gallant profession !
The panic of the year of suspension, so iti*
valuable so long as it lasted, has unfortunate
ly exhausted itself, and is one of those tfihem
trti which revive not with to-morrow’s sun*
after running their brief cycle of existence of
to-day. The waves of political excitement
which accompanied it, which at one time
threatened to overwhelm the Administration
beyond recovery, are fast sinking back ter
their accustomed peaceful lied. Unfortunate-'
Iv, too, in their refluence they have done ve*
ry serious damage to the \Y hig cause itself*
leaving it high and dry upon the naked shore*
not only shorn ofall its bravery, but in truth
in very sorry and unseaworthy plight.—-'
