W ar in Europe, *
The papers by the Great Westcrn|if we are to
judge from the copious extracts "«hich we have
seen, are filled with the speculation<|of the whole
European editorial and letter writini corps, rela
tive to the anticipated war betweel France and
England about the Eastern question > and many of
them seem to consider a war as inevitable, while
others doubt such a result. As wc f egard all we
have seen mere speculation, and e? titled to no
more credence, we have not transfe|ed any por
tion of them to our columns, preferjing to await
some more definite demonstration by |he respective
authorities. ;

More Negro Evidenc|;.
The Louisville City Gazette cite a case, said
to have occurred early in the last A. ministration,
in which the sentence by a Court J\ art.al of dis
mission ol a Cadet at the Military .|cademy was
reversed, and the Ollicers composing the Court
rebuked, because ot the admission of evidence up
on the trial showing what a negro l|ad said in the
case. The Secretary of War, (Mr- Eaton,) it
is said, “reversed the opinion of the! Court, and
rebuked the officers composing it, f.jr dismissing
a young officer upon hearsay testimony and that
the testimony of a negro ! He sail, if the negro
had been there in person, he could testi

Portrait of Van Huron.
Wc invite the public attention to the follow
ing extract from a Speech delivered at the great
South Western Convention, recently held at
Nashville, Tennessee, by the Hon. Mr. Critten
den of Kentucky. It is a portrait of Martin Van
Buren drawn by a master-hand, and no Nevv-
Englaod man need be told that it is “ true to the
life.”
Mr. Crittenden said he did not believe Mr.
Van Buren possessed either the head or the heart
to be the President of this proud and independent
nation. He was nurtured in the Albany Regen
cy school of politics, and had not the capacity
or the warmth of heart to know, or feel like a
politician of the West. He was emphatically a
free-trader in politics, buying where he could
purchase cheapest, and selling where he could
command the highest prices. He had been for
the war and against the war. Should the Feder
alists say to him, Mr. Van Buren we can support
no man wli i supported the last war, which ru
ined our com mcrce and brought the country so
deeply into debt, how readily could he reply, gen
tlemen, who took more decided ground against
that war than I did? Madison I opposed, and
gave my hearty support and influence to Clinton,
your own favorite candidate ! Should the Re
publicans, on the other hand, approach him and
say, we can support no man who did not support
the last war, how readily he would assure them ;
that he did support it, and point to his reports |
and speeches in its favor, made after Madison’s
re-election, and the war had become popular.
Take the subject of Abolition too. Should
leading abolitionists tell Mr. Van Buren they
would like to vote and use their influence for him
if they coul! only have some evidence that he
would help carry out their principles, why who
could furnish them with more strong and endu
ring proofs than Mr. Van Buren, of his firm at
tachment to their principles? How sincciely he
would point to his vote instructing the New-Yirk
Senators upon the Missouri question—to his vote
in the New York convention, in favor of exten
ding the right of voting to negroes—to his vote
in Congress to reslrict slavery in Florida —to his
declaration, for the public eye, that Congress has
constitutional power to abolish slavery, any day,
in the District of Columbia—and to his recent
rescript, that he saw nothing in the admission of
negro testimony into court against a gallant offi
cer of the navy that called for his interference !
On the other hand, should the anti-abolitionists
say to him, Mr. Van Buren what guarantee will
you give us, that if we go for you you will not
favor the schemes of the infamous fanatics? Hotv
gravely he would refer them to his repeated decla
ration that lie will apply the veto to any bill hav
ing for its object the abolition of slavery in the
District of Columbia !
Upon the subject of Internal Improvement
too, he is equally ready. To one party he points
to his vote to establish toil-gates upon the great
Cumberland road, such was his love and zeal for
internal improvement. He points also to his ap
proval of numerous bills making great appropri
ations for works of that nature. To the opposite
party, he vrillsay he is against internal improve
ments by the general government, and points with
apparent exultation, to the complaints of the
friends of the great National road, that he asked
for no appropriation whatever for it in his last ta
ble of estimates for expenditures !
On the subject of Federalism he occupies the
same ground also. To the Federalists, he can
turn to his ardent support of Rufus King, their
great champion, and exhibit the book he wrote
in his favor. To the Republicans, ho can point
to his support of Dame! D. Th^mpkins.
Mr. Crittenden asked if he was not justified
then in pronouncing Marlin Van Buren a free
trader in politics ? He asked what he had ever
done to advance the true interests of his country,
or promote its prosperity ? The answer, he said,
would be No, for the very good reason that he had
done nothing. \\ hy.said he, if old Plutarch were
to burst from his tomb and be called upon to write
the life of Martin Van Buren, and record the ser
vices he has rendered his country, great God what
a blank the old historian would present to the
world !
He asked what reason the people had for ad
vancing such a man to the highest office in their
gift. Call over his name—does it fill the heart
with grateful emotions ? No. At the name of
W ashington—of even Jackson—and of Harrison,
the heart glows with emotion ! But sound the
name of an Buren—’tis as cold as a tomb-stone
—aye, as Van Buren himself.
Jackson Principles.
Read the following, from Gen. Jackson’s first
Inaugural Address
“ The recent demonstration of public senti
ment inscribes on the list of Executive duties,
in characters too legible to be overlooked, the
task of Reform, which will require, particular
ly ■> the correction of those abuses which have hrn't
the Patronage of the Federal Government into
conflict with the Freedom of Elections, and the
counteraction of those causes which have distur
bed the rightful course of appointment and have
placed, or continued in power, unfaithful or in
competent hands.”
On the foregoing passage, the Richmond En
quirer remarked as follows :
There is one passage in his address which
cannot escape the reader’s attention. Reform is
legibly inscribed on the banner of Executive du
ties and more especially, such reforms as consist
in the correction of abuses which have interlined
with the freedom ot elections, or the rightful
course of appointment, or have thrown the offices
ot the nation into unfaithful or incompetent
hands. He then tells us plainly that we are to
have no more travelling Secretaries, no offices dis
graced, no money wasted, for the -ake of reward
ing the electioneering minions of ambitious as
pirants.”
Extract from the annual Message of General
Jackson to Congress, in Dec. 1831 :
“ r have heretofore recommended amendments
of the Federal Constitution, giving the election
of President and Vice President to the People
and limiting the service of the former to a single
term. 8o important do 1 consider these changes
in our fundamental law, that I cannot, in ac
cordance with my sense of doty, omit to press
them upon the consideration of a new Congress,
hor my licws moieat large, as well in relation
to these points as the disqualification of members
to Congress to receive offices from a P.esident in
whose election they have had an official agency,
which I proposed as a substitute, I refer you to
my former Messages.”
General Jackson has the following declaration
in his last Annual Message, dated December
1836:
“To retain it (the Public Money,) in the
Treasury unemployed in any way, is impractica
ble. It is, besides, against the genius of our
free institutions to lock up in vaults the treas
ure of the nation. To take from the people the
right of hearing arms, and put their weapons of
defence in the bands of a standing army, would
he scarcely more dangerous to their liberties,
than to permit the Government to accumulate
immense amounts of treasure beyond the sup
plies necessary to its legitimate wants. Such a
treasure would doubtless he employed at some
time, us ’I has been in other countries, when op
portunity tempted ambition .”

From the Baltimore American.
Which is the liank Party ?
The Newark N. J. Advertiser of the 21st ult.
gives statistical tables showing the increase of
Banks and of Banking capital, during two
periods respectively: —one period from 1820 to
1830; the other from 1830 to 1837, when the
suspension of specie payments took place. The
tables also show which party was predominant in
each State when the various new Banks were
chartered; so that by this exhibit an accurate
knowledge may be had of the doings of each par
ty in the way of increasing the number oi Banks
in the country.
It is to be borne in mind that the Administration
has been loud in denouncing Banks ; in charging
upon them a concerted design to embarrass the
Government; and stigmatizing the whole system
as one of monopoly and exclusive privilege.
The Whigs as a party have been called the Bank
parly, the evils which have afflicted the currency
have been ascribed to the conduct ot the Banks
in opposition to the Administration. But all
this is familiar to our readers.
Now how strange will the result appear when
it is known that the Administration party through
out the Union has been the most active in crea
ting new Banks since 1830. A statement of
facts in reference to this, shows that Irom 1820
to 1830, including the last five years ot Mr.
j Monroe’s administration, and the whole of Mr.
i Adams’ term, the increase of Banks in the Uni
ted States was only 22; increase of capital near
ly eight millions of dollars. From January Ist,
1830, to January Ist, 1 837, during which period
tho party in power had possession of the Gov
ernment, the number of new Banks created was
three hundred and forty-eight; the increase of
Banking capital was upwards of two hundred
and sixty-eight millions. It is very well known
that about the time of the veto upon the United
Stales Bank, the party in power openly encour
aged the increase of State Banks, with the view
of demonstrating to the country the capability of
local Banks to supply a currency which should
be a “ better currency” than that, formerly sup
plied under the auspices of the United States
Bank. The Globe, in December 1833, speaking
of the Western Slates, says:—“They are re
solved to avail themselves of their own State
credit, as well as of the National credit, to main
tain a currency independent of foreign control,
j Mr. G lay’s presses in Kentucky begin now to
I feel how vain are all their etforts to resist the dc
| termination of the people of the West. Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, Missouri and Kentucky, are re
solved to take care of themselves ; and no longer
depend on the kind guardianship of Biddle,
CI.AT & Co,”
The statistics go on to show, by a second table
the political character of each Legislature, in
every Slate during the period from 1830 to 1837
when the astonishing increase of Banks and
of Banking capital took place. The aggregate
number of sessions was one bund ed and sixty
two for the whole Union during that period. Os
these, one hundred and eighteen were Jackson
and Van Buren ; four were Calhoumte; and
forty. Anti Jackson or Whig. The number of
new Banks created as above named was 318. Os
these, two hundred and twenty four were char
tered by Jackson and Van Buren Legislatures,
and the increase of capital was about two hun
dred and live millions and a half. The number
of Banks created by Whig Legislatures was one
hundred and' twenty-four and the increase of
capital something over sixty two millions.
To which party, then does the responsibility
properly belong of increasing the number of
Banks in the country beyond the proper limit?
The example being set by one party and the lead
• being taken, it would follow that the speculating
spirit thus generated and strengthened must
, spread throughout the community, and infect all
, classes, more or less. By what party was this
1 example set? \\ ho took the lead? In whose
• hands was the dominant power vested ? Let
• these questions be answered and the reply will
■ show who are to be held accountable for the ex
t cessive issues that have brought derangement in
> to the currency and its attendant embarrassments.
The same party that destroyed the United States
• Bank, and thus disturbed a well regulated sys
• tern of circulation, operated with alike disas-
L trous influence in their attempts to remedy the
evil which they had caused. The multiplication
, ot Stale Banks was as much a part of this policy
! as the overthrow of the National Bank in the bu
i ginning. W hether it was foreseen or not, and
indeed that the stimulation given to the quick
growth of local inslitulions and the spirit of spec
ulation, such result in a general explosion of the
whole substituted system, and thus prepare tho
way for the Sub-Treasury, project, as a thing
contemplated from the first~w hether this be so
. or not, it is unnecessary now to inquire. The
, history of the limes and a plain record of facts
> prove that the most important interests of the
country have been sported with and experimen
! ted upon by the Administration with a view to
political ends and party purposes.

and served by steam packets 450 horse power,
one starting from Bordeaux every 20 days, and
from .Marseilles every month, in order to arrive
at Martinique, and continuing by Guadaloupe,
fc>t. Thomas, Porto Rico, Cape Hayti, and St. Ja
go, to Havana. The other starting from Nazaire
every month to Rio Janeiro, passing by Lisbon,
Gorce, Pernambuco, and Bahia. Three secon

circular, sales continued to predo ninatc ever since,
ior were the a ivices received last Thursday Irum

of Mercantile affairs. Political questions are be
ginning to lose some of their ascendency over the
public°min;l, now that the general opinion is mani
fested in favor ol a pacific tcrmii ation. The de
pressed state that has prevailed in transactions
daring the past week, cannot therefore be ascribed
to any appreh nsions or probability of war, but it
is rather owing to the large stock of Colton on
hand at such an advanced season of the year, and
the evident eagerness on the part of holders to re
alize, in c nsequence of the intelligence from the
United States, as to the extent of the fast ap
proaching crop. On the other hand, dealers being
fully alive to this conviction, snow but little wil
lingness to come forward, and therefore operate
with much caution. Prices have in consequence,
notwithst anding the favorable accounts from the
inland towns, further receded fl a 2 on ordinary and
mi ding U. S. descriptions, hut extreme grades have
undergone scarcely any variation Although, how
ever the demand has. upon the whole, been rather
limited, several large sales were effected, say : 900
bales New ordinaire and •*- ties ordinaire
ex Margaret Forbes, at f7O; 1,337 bales Upland £
bun ordinaire and £ petit courant ex New Jersey,
at f'O, and 457 bales Mobile,ordinaire and bon or
dinaire ex Elizabeth, at f 76. The decline was in
some instances still greater on Mobile Cottons,
several sales being made under current rates.owing
to their bad cond.tion.
Ancient Federalism.
We invite the attention of our rcaderes to the
following excellent remarks which we copy from
a late number of that valuable paper “ The Lour
Cabin.”
“The ast hope of Van Burenism is its attempt
to direct the attention of the people from the
misgovern ment anti monstrous abuses which now
I exist to tho contests and differences ot forty
| years ago. If tire wire-workers can only set the
! people by the cars about politics of the last gen-
I eration, they may hope to glut themselves on
the Spoils ot the Treasury for another foui years,
and by repeating the trick, for forty years to come
—for it is one that answers for all times and oc
casions. Let the Olfice Holders oppress and im
poverish the people ever so much—let them rob
the Treasury and burn the public buildings, or
commit any rascality, and they have one unvary
ing stratagem to divert public attention, which is
this. They say to the People—“ Don’t believe
those Whigs they are all old Federalists, Aristo
crats, and enemies of the Common People.”—
Now, we do not care to unite with them in heap
ing odium on many of our noblest Kevolutiona
ry Patriots, and we neither aid nor oppose their
abuse of the deceased Federal Party. We do
not see that it is at all to the purpose. But this
assumption that the Van Buren party is the true
Democratic parly is most preposterous. Its falsi
ty has been proved over and over again, until
it is believed at least that no intelligent man can
be fooled by the cry of Federalism against the
friends of Harrison and Tyler. Still notwith
standing this Van Burenism will continue its dir
ty appeals to slumbering prejudices; and as
Saul in his last extremity attempted to conjure
up the ghost of the dead Prophet to avert his im
pending doom, so the shade of Jefferson is inces
santly invoked to cover the misrule of Van Buren.
In the face of an intelligent community, this des
perate resort must prove unavailing.”
In addition to the above, the New Haven Pal
ladium has ths following sensible article, in rela
tion to the constant and pitiful slang of the Loco
Foco press about old Federalism. It will com
mend itself to all men of sense.
“What consummate inpudcncc it must re
quire for the loco loco editors to talk about the
whig party being the Hartlord Convention or
anti-war party—when this same whig party has
tor its leaders such men as Henry Clav, whose
voice rang out in trumpet tones for the war, anil
who was appointed by Madison to negotiate the
treaty of peace at Ghent! —such leaders also
as HARRISON who advocated the war and pe
rilled his life in it—such also as Scott and Gaines,
and almost every brilliant hero and statesman
concerned in the war. Jackson was originally
supported in New England by the federalists.
In this State at the organization of the Jackson
parly under the lead ot John 3VI. Niles a resolu-
JgCgh was passed in Convention, “that it was ex
pedient that an Electoral ticket favorable to the
election of Andrew Jackson, be formed upon
liberal principles without reference to the old
party distinctions ” Nearly all the present Van
Buien leaders in this State were members of this
Convention which made this first attempt to
break up the organization of the republican party.
That Convention gave, (as will be seen by the
resolution) a broad invitation to all the federal
ists in the State to unite in support of Jackson.
It was accepted by great numbers—but as soon
as Jackson began bis career of tyranny, misrule
and corruption, those federalists who had any
respect for themselves and regard for the country
began todiop away from him—but the spoilsmen
and the monarchists, the Walls, the Buchanans,
the Hubbards, the Prentices, the Wilkins, the
Gilpins, the Williams, the Rushes, &c. &c. &c.—
all who united for the purpose of plunder, and
who for it would consent to do all that the
President required of them, are with the admin
istration. This is the whole history of the mat
ter—a matter, however, of no importance com
pared with the questions to be settled in Novem
ber.
Genedal Prosperity. —The Newport Her
ald relates the following conversation between a
whig and a locofoco :
“What General will the Whigs have next,”
(inquired a loco the other day,) “after they elect
General Harrison ?” “ General Prosperity,”
promptly replied a facetious whig, of whom the
question was asked. Ihe loco seemed much
pleased with the answer, and thought he could be
in favor of such a General without compromising
his principles.

o\F.n nir, Moustaixs, Ho!—About a 3 7 ear
ago we copied from a journal of the interior
the Cleveland Herald—the card of a Mr. David
son, proposing to cany the mail from New York
to New Orleans in some marvellously brief space
o( time, not upon terra firma, but through the air,
Mr. Davidson, it appears, applied to Congress for
assistance in developing his project, but met with
no attention ; whereat he expresses his disap
pointment and mortification in a letter to the edi
tor ot the St. Louis Gazette, from which we ex
tract the following. He is “going ahead,” it
seems, without the aid of Congress. The letter
is dated at New York.
“Like the fabled Phoenix, I rose from the ashes
of my destruction at Washington, with a new
energy and redoubled zeal. And I am happy to
inform you that through an engagement entered
into with a brother of mine in Virginia, with the
view to experiment on my plan of airostati n, I
have been enabled to go forward with it; and al
ready, a large portion of my machinery is in a
state of rapid completion.—l am gelling it made
by R. M. Hoe & Co., machinists, of this city. It
will be completed in a few days, when I shall take
it, together with such materials as are necessary
to construct the body and other parts of the icros
tat, to Virginia, near the spot of my nativity,
where myself and brother will proceed immediate
y to erect the erosiat— American Eagle— and,
from whence I intend to take my flightTmark the

machinery since I wrote on the subject. I now
contemplate using my weight as well as my

Modesty.—We agree with the old “£
rise,” that “modesty is a quality that
dorns a woman.” But affected modesty, u'
the following, we cannot abide.
Yesterday a lady went into a store on Ch
tres-street, and after fidgeting and riggli ng abp ‘”'
she put her cambric handkerchief t 0 h fr j u ! f '
and with a tremendous mental effort, asked
clerk if he had any hose confmers for sale. Tf°
gentleman being quite ignorant of the meanin!
of the fair customer, was rather embarrassed bul
not wishing to appear altogether green, said’that
none of the article was on hand, hut assured the
lady that an invoice of a large lot on the wav
from France had been received, and they WoUl j
soon arrive.

Died, in Houston county, Ga., in the vicinity of
Tort \ alley, 0:1 the 27th July last, Mr Robert J.
Allen, aged 27 years.
The deceased was a native of 13oike county,Ga.,
the youngest son of James and Frances Allen, with
whom he lived.
Robert left his father’s house to visit Lis rela
tions in Houston county, where he arrived in ap
parent fine health. In a few days he became in
disposed, and visited and consulted a physician;
not the least apprehension of danger was enter
tained. Rut the disease so rapidly augmented in
violence, that regular medica, attendance soon be
came accessary, and still assuming an increasingly
dangerous type, a consulting physician was sum
moned. Rut the tearful malady bid defiance to
combined efforts of skill, and Robert, though 1
young man, beloved by friends and doated on by
relations, especially his aged parents, must die.
Rut young as he was, he had prepared while in
health for the solemn tiial that now awaited him.
A few months previous lie had attached himself in
membership to the Methodist Episcopal church.
The writer of this notice had but little acquaint
ance with the deceased, he can therefore say Out
little respecting him. He remembers, however,
that a celebrated King once asked an individual if
he did not consider him the happiest of men; to
which he lepiitd, he could not judge of any man's
happiness until he had heard of his death. Taking
this as a criterion, then Robe rt J. Allen was a
happy man in life. His death was truly a caira
one, for sure I am, I never witnessed more patience
and perfect resignation manifested under paintal
affliction. Conversations rcla ive to his views and
feelings of a fu me and eternal state, were re
peatedly had with him as he approached in full
conscioum'ss the confines of the grave, and to all,
his replies afforded great satisfaction. His dying
charge to his parents was to meet him in iicaven,
where we believe his spirit now rest'.
A large procession wa< formed at the house of
his brother, Hugh Allen, where he died, led by tie
students of Wesley Manual Labor Scnool, bearing
his corpse to the church, where a very appropriate
and feeling discourse was delivered by Rev. Join
P. Dickinson, from the Ist 2d and 3J verses of the
7th chapter of Ecclesiastes
The relations sat near the remains of their de*
parted kinsman, and the young men were toque’ -
ed to occupy- one side of the church dining the
funeral exercises, where we trust many resolved
fn-TTi tnat lime to seek a preparation for doatii.
Alter the sermon his body was again carried by
the young men to a newly selected.buryingground,
where amid tears and weeping he was decently
inten ed.
Will it avail any thing to say in conclusion to
the lilends of ihe deceased, and all who may ica |
this notice : You are dying—you will soon be dead
too—arc you prepan d ? May biod helpyou to live
the life ol the lightccus, that vou may die their
death !
