We see a government that is aiming to reduce the common people, or working classes, down to the crsde of European serfs ! ? We see a government that says to the people in their distress “ YOU ARE ASKING TOO MI'CH” —“you must TAKE CARE OF YOUR SELVES.” In short, sir,— \['e see a government that has passed out of re publican principles,and become an ARISTUCnAT- JcaL despotism ! I believe, sir, that the people “ will take care of themselves Mr. Van Buren has made too heavy a draft on what be supposes to be their ignorance and want of inlormation, and want of virtue. I am aware that it is believed by the purest moral ist?, that the measures of the late and present ad ministration have been, and are demoializing to an a arming extent, but there is still virtue and in formation enough left with the people to right the ship of state— and it will be done. Hut. as the truth may be disagreeable to you, I will not trouble you much longer. Before closing, however, I must take the liberty to say, that I am , no lder man than Mr. Van Ruren, but I would of him with all the respect the nature of the fJ se will admit, from the respect I owe to the of •ce which he occupies. I understand him, howev er well; and the people begin to understand him alio if you choose to take the trouble, you may inform him that my commission as a deputy Post master is ready for cancelling whenever he sees fit (“for opinion's sake"J to have it done. You may also inform the President if you please, that there is no office in his gill—not even a mission to Russia, which seems to be the standing bribe —that would induce me to support his measures. And now, sir, not to tender 3 011 a respect which Ido not feel. I subscribe myself, JOSEPH KINGSBERY. To Amos Kenpali., Esq. p. S.—You plead proverty , sir, and say that a salary of six thousand dollar a years was not suf ficient to support y ourself and fatniiy—and as I be lievc that 1 have a right to frank a letter of my own writing, if it dot s not contain more than two sheets, I shall, out of charity, frank this to you. With respect to your •* Address" and “ Prospec tus,” I have my doubts whether the law would allow me to frank it under cover. I shall there fore wait your instructions in what way I am to return these precious articles. J. K. ® Mr. Vau Ilmen’s Army Project. The writer of this article was one of the very first to denounce in emphatic terms through the columns of the “Empire State” the project of the Administration. We looked upon it as un constitutional, and one of the most extraordinary movements ever made by any administration claiming any affinity to Democracy ! And the more we reflect upon it, the more objectionable ,t appears.—Just look at the measure stripped of the ornaments of rhetoric given to it by Mr. Poin sett ! The proposition was— 1. To enroll every white male citizen between the ages of 20 and 45. 2. That within three months every one should arm himself at his own expense 3. That within a given time 100,000 should be’dratted for actual service / 4. That another 100,000 men should be con stantly kept armed and organized. 5. That this body of 100,000 should he kept up by constant drafts from the whole body of the citizens enrolled. G. That the Union should be divided off into ten great military districts—Buonaparte fashion. 7. That the President may call out, whenever he chooses, in their districts; the whole of this body of 100,000 men twice a year. Whi e thus in the field, this army of 100, 000 is under the control of the President, and subject to such regulations as he chooses to pres cribe ! 9. If any citizen fails to march into actual ser vice when ordered by the President, he is to be fined not less than $0 nor more than §3O. 10. If hr refuses to pay the fine, he is subjected to IMPRISONMENT IN CLOSE JAIL UNTIL THE FINE IS PAID ! Such are the naked provisions of this monstrous project of Mr. Poinsett, endorsed by Van Buren, and condemned by the people ! T his is the pro ject cunningly devised, by which the administra tion hoped to fortify themselves as with the aid of the other great measure, the Sub Treasury, recently adopted, to bid definance to the People, and laugh them to scorn ! General Jackson vs. M. Van Buren. A Case in point — Negro Testimony. —From the Louisville Journal, we gather the following particulars. A few years ago, a cadet at West Point was arrested for some violation of the rules of that establishment, and the court Martial, upon the testimony of a free negro, one of Mr. Van Boren's voters, sentenced him to be dismissed. The case was carried before G?neral Jackson ; but did he say he could find nothing in the case to require his interference 1 No—with the indignant feel ings of a high sould Southron, he annulled the decision, and restored the cadet to his rank and standing. What say the Parlizans of Mr. Van Buren to this 7 Is this a path pursued by his illustrious predecessor from which the “Magician” sees pro per to deviate! Are all had precedents to be followed, and all good ones to he deviated from? Or will the Democracy dare to assert that Gener al Jackson, in this instance acted improperly ! We shall see.— Gear. Journal. From the Tuscaloosa Monitor. Result ol the Election in Alabama. We are willing to say. that from the determin ed spirit manifested by the Democratic Whigs, previous to the election, we were prepared to ex pect that a respectable and honorable success, would, in several of the neighboring counties, ctovsri their exertions; but, we are equally free to say. that vve were not prepared for the splen did series of successful accounts, with which the public, for several days, have been astonished and delighted. Every mail brings us fresh evidences that the people of ißoutli Alabama, especially, have rose in their majesty, and after a slumber of several years, the true democratic spirit in our State is waked up.—Amos Kendall’s children, and the children of his co-workers, we helieveare frightened; but if it were not for the hand-writing on the wall, which has now become legible to them, we should not witness such spasmodic symptoms of agony and distress. We congratulate our fellow-citizens of the whig party of Alabama. We look forward with Mrtamty to ti e elevation of the veteran whig of '■he North Beno, the invariable friend of the south e?u policy, to the Presidency: and we rejoice that Alabama will not be wanting in her duty, and at •he pleasing anticipation that her vote will be cast to r him in November. We congratulate the "bigs of the Union on the cheering prospect. ” e salute old Virginia.—the mother of men—on ’he prospect; and pledge ourselves to walk in her f'jJH-steps; and. if we do not fully succeed, we s hali at least make a good and advanced move to cast *he vote of Alabami for the noble scion of an illustrious slock. Profanity. —What is there more disgusting 0 ’h|,yirluous man, to the man of refined sensi- Lllu y, than profanity ! Although there are ma "v style themselves gentlemen, that allow to indulge in this odious practice, yet I 'Joes not prove that it is respectable, neither j Jes it prove that those persons who indulge in ■ arc gentlemen—hut the reverse. Whenever * e * lfcar a man dealing out his oaths at every and calling down the vengence of Heaven ,P°o biin in the shape of some horrid impreca ’U. vve may conclude that he is far gone in the ;a '- of ruin ; and, that unless he soon breaks ay from his sinful course, he may be taken at v 4 P°n his lipg. He , nav c j a( j j n h| s robes of |( n ? bnen, hut his apparel will not take away the [ w hich is affixed to him by using profane ts - BUage. Is he a father 1 think for one moment of the example he is setting before his children ; catching every word which falls from his lips, they soon begin to lisp forth their childish prattle the horrid oath ; the passing traveller hears amid their sports the boisterous laugh mixed with the profanation of God’s hely name. It is a vulgar habit also, for in its train follow low and obscene jests, such as would make the ears of a virtuous person to tingle ; how often is our decency shoi k ed by the low ribaldry mixed with profanity which meets our ears in passing through the street. In this enlightened age such a state of things should not be. Those habits which tend to de moralize our characters should be carefully guar ded against, and every precaution taken, that the rising generation may grow up a virtuous and re fined people. Let the ladies of the land do what they can for the suppression of the vice ; let them debar from their society every young man from whose bps fall profane language ; let this be done in every case, and soon a blow will be given to this vice that will cause it to tremble from its very foundation. The influence of woman is great; and upon whatever benevolent object it is turned, it acts with a force not to be withstood. Daughters ot America! come then to the rescue; lend us aid in this work, and it will be accom plished.— Olive Branch. Thtrtt-Fitk More.—A friend in the town of Hunter, Green county, (N. V.) who would not deceive us, writes that thirty-five of the friends of the administration in that town —one of the strong holds of Van Burenism in that county— have openly renounced the administration and all its works. They have signed their names to their declaration, which will soon be published. Numbers of those who have thus renounced have been prominent men in the Van Buren par ty, and their withdrawal will befell. Not a sin gle Whig in the town has gone over to the ene my.—N. Y. Com. Life at Watering Places.—The corres pondent ot the Philadelphia Ledger, writing from Cape May, gives the following as a night or rath er morning scene in the main gallery of a hotel there. The only happened to be awake at such a lime. We recommend the husband to provide himself with a duplicate key. ( Tap! tap ! tap ! in a low and gentle tone.) (No answer.) (Tap ! tap ' tap ! little iouder.) (Still no answer.) (Tap! tap ! tap! a full octave higher.) “Who’s there 1” (in a loud,and, I thought, for a female, a very determined voice.) “Only me, my love;” (in a soothing loud whis per, rather strongly contrasted witk the voice from within.) “Well, Mr. T , this is too much; but I vow I won’t get up.” “My dear, do pray rise and let me in.” “I positively will not. I gave you fair war ning I would not in this way be disturbed every night. The children, you know very well, can’t be got to sleep alter they are once woke up.” (I could testify to the truth of this part of the con versation.) “And this is the fourth night you have been up half the night, playing cards and stuffing crabs and champagne. ’Tis too bad.” “My love, recollect; do for heaven’tsake keep quiet, and let me in ; this is all d—d nonsense. I mean this is perfectly ridiculous. Just remem ber where you are, and talk lower; I’m xox deaf.” (After a pause—) “My dear, there’s no earthly use in your stan ding there. You ought to know by this time that when I say I won’t I mean I won’t; and get out of bed again this night I won’t— that set tled.” And to my mind the case was clearly settled— the tone this was uttered in leaving little room for hope.—After a considerable pause, during which time the poor hen-pecked husband no doubt was casting over in his mind what was best to be done in the emergency— “My love, do I rightly understand that you really intend I shall be locked out all night 1” “Yes, my dear, ’tis precisely my intention, and tomorrow night you will come to bed in season able hours.” Scene closes. The following morning, at sunrise, as is my custom, I was on my way, with slippers and gown, to bathe, when I met T parading the piazza. Ho never gets up till the last breakfast bell rings. “Good morning, Mr. T , this reformation. How came you up so soon ?” “Why, the fact is—ha ! ha ! ha?—to be can did with you—the—the—truth is, I am up a lit tle earlier than common. The fact is, I didnk sleep very well last night. The cursed musqui toes ! The wind brought them into my window —bit me to the d—dest. I swear I never was bitten so before in my life.” COMMERCIAL.
