T. ; e indecency of Inis boast of the connection bet /een the whig politicians and their sympathisi is in England was so gross that a considerable xdtement took place on the wharves end the flag was taken down.” s The Corporal published the abf-ve choice ex tract in yesterdyay’s Constitution J list, but entire ly overlooked the following explanation which ap peared in the New York Courier a- d Enquirer, the morning after the appearance of the above. We copy the above from the Evening Fust, only because we are requested to present the affair in its true colors. The packet ship England when the Garrick was running in opposition to ■her, some three years ago had a Hag made bear ing the inscription “7'he England expects every man to do his duty.”—Yesterday morning the officer in command of The England, hoisted this flag in common with others, little; supposing that so prim a Loco Eoco as The Postjwould by omit ting the first word of the inscription, have chan ged its meaning and given tc it ari interpretation, for which every man who can .write his name knows there is not the sligntest pretext.— Courier. Air. D. J. Dowling designs publishing in Mobile, a daily evening paper, entitled the “ Evening Bulletin ,” to be conducted on the pi in of the pen ny papers at tiie North. We wishijou all sorts 0£ success Dan, i f We alluded on Tuesday, says t the Richmond Whig, to a certain Speculation, .which is more elaborately detailed in the following article from & New York paper: } One of the Speculutions.of Martin Van Bu ren. ! “ Sweet Auburn, loveliest village j|)f the plain.” 1 Goldsmith. The Albany Argus, in a recent article, finds fault with Mr. V\ ebster for borrowing money upon bond and molrgage upon property which the Argus deems inadequate security for the loan. It is difficult to conceive how the public can have any interest in the matter, even were tho lega tions of the Argus true. Mr. W! baler has not been guilty of fraud or evasion ; nay, more, the person who advanced the money ivqs and is sa tisfied with the security. Can the;Argus say as much of one of the President’s speculations, to which we will now call its attention ! A few years ago. Gov. Throop jind Mr. Van Buren conceived the idea of a magnificent spec ulation in building lots at Anburq in this State. Determined to realize the golden hsion, and re gardless of the “dangerous tenderxnes of associ ated wealth.” th w y disclosed the project to a few of the faitnful, and finally formed a company, consisting of ten persons, including themselves. Two of the members were crothed with the pow er of agents and trustees, being he hofized to make purchases and take the tit'e lin their own names. They t urchased all the vacant and un appropriated lands in the vicinity of Auburn, un til the property ot the association ’encircled the whole village. The trustees then borrowed one hundred thousand dollars, and gave a fond and mo tage upon the lands for that auburn. As these speculators dreamed oijdy of profits, care was taken to provide by a legiu instrument for sharing the losses. Under die pressure of the times the speculation turns out to boa villainous ly had one and most of the are now in solvent. The mortgage is in course of foreclos ure, and the trustees, have celled tSpon their co- partners to sign an agreement proving for a jv>:nt liability of all the parties, for any deficiency in the amount realized by the sales, to satisfy the mortgage. Nothing it would seem could be more fair and proper, and such it appears is the opin ion of all the associates, save one. The Presi dent of the United States alone refuses to sub scribe to such a liability. The effect of the posi tion he insists upon is, that if the properly should sell for more than its cost he would share one tenth of the profits, and it the mortgage is fore closed and the proceeds of the sale should not satisfy one quarter of it, the trusters must lodk to the insolvent associates, severally not jointly, for an indemnity, “Heads I win, tails you loose,” was probably the mode in which Mr. Van Van Buren in his early years tossed up coppers with the boys of Kinderhook. One of the reasons given by the President for refusing to make himself responsible in the way desired, is, that he has transferred the specu lation to liis son John, and that therefore the trustees should arrange the matter with him.— Col. Brant when he found his case looked alarm ing—when he had arrived at the conclusion that a court, martial was about to pronounce him guilty of tne charges on which he was arraigned, resigned. President Van Buren, with ano less praiseworthy caution, resigned the speculation as soon as lie discovered that it would terminate in loss instead of profit. Well, and what says Prince John thus placed “ in the footsteps of his illustrious” father! The Prince delicately insinuates that he took thepre sent of a share in the Auburn speculation foi pro fit not loss. lie therefore modesty declines being troubled with any personal responsibility ! The trustees as yet, stand unprotected by any ac- | knowlecgment of liability for either the President or his son ; and they will probably, when t! e e ficiency by the mortgage foreclosure is ascertain- I ed, invite the Executive of the Union to submit his case to the decision of the legal tribunals of i the State. As ah the associates involved in the dilemma, ! are partizans of the President, they may deem it j advisable at this trying period, to endeavor to ex- j plain away some of the bad, not to say fraudulent features of this transaction. Our statement of the matter is, we feel assured, substantially cor rect, nor do we think it will be contradicted, though attempts may be made at evasion. The i trustees, we are quite certain, have too much at | stake to abandon their position or exonerate the President and his son fiom the liability which they refuse voluntarily to assume. If Mr. Van Buren carries his point, he will save himself and ruin his trustees. That he will save himselfif the law will permit him to do so come what may to others, we have not the slight est doubt. Amos Catches it Again. ANOTHER INDEPENDENT POST-MASTER. Joseph Beach, Esq., Post-master at Ridgeville, i Madison county, instead of soliciting “dullais”! for Amos Kandall, has boldly “declined that' work.” The following is a copy cf Mr. Beach’s 1 Letter to the Ex-Post-Master General:— Post Officf., Ridgeville, Madison Co. N. Y. July 15, 1840. 3 Hon. Amos Kendall— Sir—“ Our country presents a new spectacle for the contemplation of the honest portion of mankind.” A candidate for re-election to the Presidency is asking the suffrages of our people, and at t ie same time is unwilling to admit that during the almost tour years of his past adminis tration, the public Treasury has been “plunder ed by more than a hundred hands;” the people defied, “ a general embarrassment is spread over ; the country,” and a“ flood of demoralization has swept over the land, and upon some Slates it rests in stagnant pools, contaminating the at mosphere of liberty, and threatening death to every thing virtuous, noble, and free. “A free and intelligent people, whose precious right it is to demand ot their rulers a full account of their stewardship,” have been bluntly told when ma- j king this reasonable demand to go home and go ' to work, and the Government will take care of itself.” “ Thus they are told to relax that eter nal vigilance which is truly the price of liberty, and blindly submit themselves, if not to a King who can do no wrong, to a chief magistrate who assumes the altitude of irresponsibility, “ and sur rounds himself’ with the attributes of a European Monarch. Y es, Sir, under Van Buren’s administration “laws have been violated with impunity ; moral obligations scoffed at and discarded ; knavery walks the streets with the hold face of honesty; and even high public functionaries who scoff at and disregard the authority of the highest ju dicial tribunal in the country ; “ obtain sympa thy and forgiveness,” and “ while they are from day to day plunderers ofthe public and public in stitutions'’ still have the audacity to demand of a suffer ng and oppressed people a renewal of their suffrages! Such then, is the sad state of things n this once “ properous and happy’’ re public. “ How strongly docs” the cause of mor ality, freedom and laws; the interests of agricul ture, manufactures and commerce; the peace of tiie counl ry; the rights of the people and the safety and the improvement of our institutions” cal! upon us a free people to hurl these Goths and Vandals from power, and place in their stead (as rulers) those who love and revere, and will prac tice and carry out the pure principles of real in stead of “sham” democracy. And finally, it is the indispensable duty of every man who wishes to secure the blessings of an honest representa tive government, the right of property, the faith ot contracts, the honor of his country and the freedom of man, to oppose by all honorable means the re-election of Martin Van Buren to the Presidency of the United States, and use like honorable means to secure the election of Gen. William Henry Harrison to that important sta tion. I herewith return your prospectus for the “Ex tra Globe,” and I cannot regret that I have not complied with your request. Yours, for Harrison, Tyler and Reform JOSEPH BEACH, P. M., Ridgeville. From the New York Express. Confessions of a wealthy Locofoco. A few days since we met an old acquaintance who had formerly been a strong Whig, but lie said lie had tinned Locoloco. On our expressing our surprise, he gave liis reasons in substance as fol lows.—“Y r ou know,” said he, “I am a ]ar<'e manufacturer, and employ a <;reat number of hands Formerly, I had to pay them one or two dollars a day, and then they prescribed their own hours and rules. Now I hire these very men at 50 10 75 cts a day, and I regulate the hours and rules. Then they were independent, and would work or not as best suited their purpose. Now they are cotppelled to work or starve, and are as humble and thankful as possible. By this reduction of wages, which falls exclusively on them, I save,” said he, “eleven hundred dollars a month, which in a year is twelve thousand two hundred dollars. she articles I manufacture sell as high as ever. Now,” said he “ I Hke the doctrine. My men are so patriotic they like it. I stia.ll, therefore, vote the Locofoco ticket and if we can succeed and continue these times I expect,” said he “ to get my wages reduced still lurthcr.” This is the confession as near as we can relate it. It is made b\ r one long shrewd in trade and one who is now practising upon it. A votiier fire.—Yesterday morning, at about 8 o’clock, a fire broke out in tire store of Mr. Jch 1 Johnson, No. 9, Ccnti-street. The building is not v ry much injured; a warehouse in the rear was totally destroyed. The store and warehouse were filled with hay, all of which was cither consumed or greatly damaged. We can not learn tiie amount of loss, which it is said, is covered by insurance. Ihe firemen exhibited tk?ir usual promptness 1 and activity.— Mobile Chronicle of the Ist. I Wilful and Deliberate Slander. “ I am not unwilling to believe that many of the Southern Whigs cordially hate Abolition —al- though I cannot help suspecting that some of them would like to see raging its threatened storms, in the delusive hope of attaining, amid the general confusion, some personal distinction. — Dallas' Letter. Remarking on the above, and another similar extract from the late letter of G. M. Dallas, the Fredericksburg (Va.) Arena says: — “ The insinuation here made that any Southern Whig would be so false to himself, to his family, to his own interests, to his county, as to wish to pec the consummation of the fell schemes of the fanatical abolitionists, and that for “ personal dis tinction,” is a base and infamous slander —such as could have been uttered by no one but a fool, or the lowest party hack. In another place, he says, “ they, (the abolitionists) do not, perhaps, constitute the whole of the opposition.” —Mark this perhaps.—Of the Southern States, three- I fourths are well known to be in opposition, and j will vote for General Harrison, ana yet this ; well paid partizan has the audacity to do more than insinuate that abolitionism and opposition to Van Baiun are identical.” New Jersey. The Boston Atlas thus notices, in regard to ; this state, some signal instances of Retributive Justice. —It is a remarkable I fact, and one that should inculcate an important | lesson to the servants of the people, never again ! to defy and trample upon popular rights, at the beck of mere [tarty recklessness, that, of the eight I members from Vermont and Maine who dared to aid in consummating the New Jersey outrage, and the passage of the Sub Treasury, but one has been re-eltcted. John Smith, Isaac Fletcher, Joshua A. Lowell, Virgil D. Parris, and Albert Smith, have each been rejected by the people whose confidence they had abused ! Davee and Anderson were not even candidates for re-election, and the constit uents of the former have proclaimed in a thun der tone, by a change unprecedented in a New England district, tneir displeasure at his career of political infamy. [ » On the other hand, the 5 Whig members who ; opposed to the utmost both outrages, have each one been reelected by increased majorities, in no ; case less than a thousand, and by an aggregate majority of 14.000! 1 From Gazette. The Field of Freedom. What a sublime spectacle it is to see the whigs 1 of To-day, filled with the spirit of liberty, taking possession of the fields of freedom, made glorious | and immortal by the Whigs of the Revolution j and of the last War! ’Twas a noble idea, that I started this; and why should it not be carried out? | The American People are now fighting the bat -1 tie of another Revolution, —“ bloodless as yet,” i in the language of the Globe, and to remain : bloodless, but scarcely inferior in national impor tance to the battles of our first great struggle for | Liberty and Independence. Bunker Hill, B’ara ! toga, Brandywine, Monmouth, Tippecanoe, Fort j Meigs and Erie, have all recently witnessed glo ) rious gatherings of such men as —•*' from the woodland sprung. When, through the fresh-awakened land. The thrilling cry of Freedom rung.

At this latter place will be corumem l orated the surrender of the sword of Cornwallis, on the I9lh ot October. And preparations are making lor such an assemblage of Iree-hearts of i the Union, as will effectually banish the lust ; hope of retaining their power from the bosom of the spoilsmen, as on that day in 1781,the armies of Great Britain gave up their arms, and w ith the last lingering hope of perpetuating their oppres sions. How gallantly, heart and the people have entered into this business ! Let them keep it up a little longer. The victory is theirs even now, but it is necessary that the rout of their enemies should be signal and complete. Stan i to your arms men ! A few charges by state squadrons must yet be made—then a quick charge, a strong charge, and a charge altogether, and your coun try will be redeemed, and another glory added to the field offreedom. Incredulity.—What an incredulous set the American people must be !! ! The Van Buren pa pers, Congressmen, Senator , as well Representa tives, Heads of Departments and other small fry, have declared on their sacred words and honor — that Gen. Harrison was “a coward” —“a granny ” —“no General'' —that he never fought a battle— that he was not w'iliiin many miles of the butties of Tippecanoe aud Thames, &c. &c., and yet a majority of 16,000 of the people ot Kentucky— -8.637 of those of Indiana—2,ooo of those of Loui siana—10,000 of those of North Carolina—2,soo of those of Virginia—upwards of 5,000 ®f those of Connecticut —a large majority of those of Rhode Island and 10,000 of the Green Mountain boys, have all solemnly declared through the ballot box, they do not believe a word, of all these reports. Why tins incredulity ? Simply because every im putation and charge made against Gen. Harrison is utterly false, people are lovers of truth. — Baltimore Gazette. An amusing incident The last number of the Harrisburg Pa. Chronicle gives the annexed narrative of a very amusing little incident: Not many weeks since a gentleman of Harris burg, by the name of Henry Petriken, deputy secretary of the Commonwealth of Pennsylva nia, was on a visit to Bcllefonte, Centre eounlv. While there he was requested to make a speech to the faithful, or did it without being requested —at any rate the speech was made. In the course of it, as is customary with these small lo co foco lights when they suppose there is no one to contradict them, he declared General Harrison to be a coward. —“Do you sav General Harrison is a coward ?” Demanded an old man in the crowd : “I do,” was the reply ofM--. H. Petriken. “How do you know it?” demanded the same old man. Here Mr. H. Petriken was brought to a dead stand. ‘ Heahd not the documents” to prove it; the Extra Globe had been left at home. “Do you remember the man to whom you paid §9O to join the army under General i Harrison in the last war as a substitute 1 If yyu don’t I do.” “Gentlemen,” continued the incor rigible old man. putting his hand in his pocket and pulling out an honorable discharge from General Harrison, “Mr. Petriken gave me S9O to take his place in the army, and I hold in my hand my clearance from Gen. Harrison.” Mr. Petri ken was confounded, so he opened not his mouth. We trust this will be taken as a warning to all of Gen. Harrison’s slanderers, at least to be extreme ly cautious that there are none of Gen. Harrison’s soldiers about before they begin to retail their stale falsehoods. Two genuine Republican pledges which will be Redeemed.—“ Though averse from pledges of every sort, I here openly and before tile world declare that I will use all the power «:ul influence vested in the office of President of the Union to abridge the power and influence of the National Executive l"—Gen. Harrison's Speech at Day tan. I pledge myself before Heaven and earth, if elected President of these United States to lay down at the end of the* term faithfully that high I trust at the feet of the People! Igo farther.

But shall surrender : this ; lorious badge of their authority into their 1 own hands to bestow it ns they please!” lb. Which is the worst?— -Rufus King voted, when in the Senate of the United States, that Missouri should not have tl c privilege of holding slaves in her borders. Ho has been the subject of odium amongst Southern men ever since he gave that vote. Perhaps though Mr. King gave this unpopular vole under the influence of those very instiuctions which had been principally got ten up and supported by the Negro Witness Chief, whilst a member of the New York Legisla ture. W hich is the worst, the murderer who stabs an individual to the heart, on his couch of midnight repose, or the wretch who hires and persuades him to perform the act?— Rat. Reg. Baltimore Coffee Trade. —During the late months of June, July and August, there were im ported into Baltimore direct from foreign ports 65, 673 bags of Coffee, of which as we learn from Lyford’s Commercial Journal, 41,951 bags were from Rio de Janero, and 13,812 bags from St. Domingo, Laguayra, Havana, &c. Last week the stock of all descriptions in first hands was about 6,400 bags—showing that the sales since June last have been upwards of 50,000 bags—or about fifteen millions of pounds, the value of which was about $J .240,000. This is indeed a handsome business, especially when it is borne in mind that the principal part of the su!es were el ected during the usually dull months of July and August.— Bultimo) e American. Niceties of Law.— ln a late court in Eng land a singular case was brought forward, respec ting the maintenance of a pauper. In the course ot the evidence it appeared that the boundary be tween the parishes ran across the room in which the pauper slept. In reference to this fact, one of the lawyers said there had been a decision in a somewhat sim ilar case, which had gone to determine that the | p uish in which the bed of the pauper had been placed w s the parish which was bound to main tain the party. Another remarked, it was impos sible that that decision could be maintained in ail cases where such point was in dispute between eon tending parishes, fur he well recollectd an instance where the bed of the pauper had usually stood across the boundary lines separating the two parishes, and it turned out that the paupei had ; been accustomed to lay with his head in the one 1 and his feet in the other parish. luthat case the | Court had held that the parish in which the head : of the pauper had reclined was bound to support : the body. Another begged to remind the Court j that there was also another case—one in which the pauper’s bed had been placed in such a po-i --| tion as that the dividing line of the two parishes had run, as it was shown, from the head to the ' heels—that was, length ways of the bed. There | it had been held that the parish on which the left hand side of the bed had been situated was liable to the maintenance of the pauper, on the g ound that the pauper’s heart, which was con ceived to be the most important portion of the contents of the frame of a human being, as well as the most vital part of a man, was usually on that side. In the present matter it was proved that only fifteen inches of the bed was in St.‘ Giles’s parish, and as it became a question whe ther a man could sleep in a space of fifteen in ches wide, a special case was ordered to be sub mitted to the Queen’s Bench ! The Execution of Major Andre.— Dr. Hall of East Hartford, a surgeon in the army of the revolution, was an eye witness to the execution of Major Andre, standing w ithin four or five rods of the scene. Noticing some inaccuracies in the 1 article we published from the Knickerbocker a few days ago, he has called and related to us the following particulars. He states that Andre walked to the place of execution behind the cart, accompanied by two officers, one on each side, and stopped under the gallows. Arrived there, he immediately stepped up into the cart, when the officer of the day, Col. Scammell, said to him, if you have any thing to say, you now have an opportunity. He replied, I have nothing to say, but. to have you bear witness that I die like a brave man. Co!. S. then said to the hangman, do your duty. He went to work so awkwardly in attempting to putthe noose over Andre’s neck, that Andre took it from him and made an effort to do it himself. But his hat being in the way, he let go the rope, took off his hat and stock and laid them on the coffin, and unbuttoned his shin collar and turned it down. He then pul the noose over his head, and adjusted it to his neck ; took out of his pocket a white handkerchief, with which he bandaged his eyes ; and a blue ribbon, which he handed to the executioner, requesting him to tie his hands behind him. This being done, Col. Scammell directed the cart to he driven away. Andre was a sma I man and seemed hard ly to stretch the rope, and his legs dangled so much that the hangman was ordered to take hold of them and keep them straight. The body was cut down after hanging fifteen or twenty minutes, and buried near the gallows. From the location of thc'grave, Andre must have passed it in going to the place of execution. The Doctor thinks the account relative to the attempts made by Washington to secure Arnold and liberate Andre, must be incorrect. The Court which sentenced Andre to death having been held on the 20th September, only three davs before his execution, the time allowed was not by any means sufficient to permit such plans to be successfully carried out, especially the one in which Champe was said to have been concerned, —Hartford Courunt. Fast India Cotton. A pamphlet has been published in London, in relation to the formation of a joint-stock company for the purpose of cultivating Cotton in India The paper in which we find it, alludes to the mat ter as of great comm icial importance, ai d sa\ s : “When we view the state of dependence in which we are placed on the United States of Ame rica for the raw material of a branch of manufac ture which in forty years bss expanded until its weal or wo almost involves our n tional exis.cncc it must be self-evidently bad policy to depend so’ much upon one country for our supp ies. Rut there is another object than mere political inde pendence to be gained by the improvement of the cultivation of the cotton plant in India, which, in present circumstances, we deem of inestimable value. Except tiie comparatively small portion of Cotton which is at piesent furnished from the East Indies, the whole of our • onsumplion is the pro duce of slave labor. Now, the portion of the con tinent of Asia which we already occupy, with the adjacent islands, can doubtless be made to furnish an almost illimitable supply by fire labor; and this company may become the efficient means of cutting up slavery by the roots. We observe that the basis on which the company intend to proceed is to instruct the native population in the most approved mode of culture ; and we see no reason why, in a very few years, cotton wool may not become the basis of an exchange for our manufac tured products to the extent of several millions per annum ! * Mode of Conducting Business on tuf. Paris Bourse. —The mariner of conducting bu siness at the Paris Stock Exchange differ mate rially from that es ablished in London. The agen de change alone are authorised by Jaw to Purchase or sell public securities. All respecta ble business, whether for cash or the end of the month, is transacted by them—not as in London, through the medium of the third party, called the jobber—but directlygwith each other.* They sel dom communicate to their principals the names of the person with whom they deal; hut they report each bargain-as it is made, and answer at the end ot the mouth for the balance due to him. 1 hey are very cautious in doing business with the public, and they generally require a deposit, or couverture. as it is called, from two to four per cent on the sum bought or sold, before ihey will deal for the end of the month. Their profits arc enormous, as about sixty agents engross; the whole respectable business of the Bourse, and as they only encounter losses when some great banker fails, or some brother agen de change slops payment. The ageus de change compose w hat is called “parquet;” but their is another body in the Exchange called the coulisse, consisting of speculators of all classes ana fortunes, who are beyond the law. and who do business with each other on parole. There are respectable men to be found in the coullisse, but many persons are admitted into it who have very little to re commend them. Their operations are all for time, and in Three per Cents only. Several members of the coulisse as broker.-; for speculators out of the market, hut their chief occupation consists in catching from each other the turn of the market. It rarely happens that the parquet and coulisse take the same view of public affairs; and the former hacked by the great capitalists, are usually the bulls, while the latter usually are bears. In both the small fry are sacrificed—soon er or latter they are carried down the stream, as the rich bankers, at sated limes combine and ex ecute them without mercy. The Intemperate Husband. BY CiIAULKS SPR AO UK. It is my friend, in the degradation of a hus band by intemperance, where she who has ven tured every thing, feels that she is lost. Who shall protect her when the husband of her choice insults and oppresses her 1 What shall delight her when she shrinks from the sight of his face and trembles at the sound ot his voice ? The hearth is indeed dark, that he has made desolate. There, through the dull midnight hour, her griefs are whispered to herselt; but her bruised heart bleeds in secret. There, while the cruel author of her distress is drowned in distant revelry, she holds her solitary vigil, waiting, yet dreading his return, that is but to wring Irom her by unkindness, tears even more scalding than those she shed over his transgressions. To fling a deeper gloom across the present, memory turns back and broods over the past. — The joys ot other davs come over her as if only to mock her grieved and weary spirit. She recalls the ardent lover whose graces won i her from tne home of her infancy, the enraptured father who bent with such delight over his new born children ; and she asks if this can be the same ; this sunken being wno has now nothing « for her but the sol’s disgusting brutality; nothing for those abashed and trembling children, but the sot’s disgusting example ! Can we wonder that amid these agonizing mo ments, tho tender chords of violated affection should snap asunder? That the scorned and deserted wife should confess “ there is no killing like that which kills the heart!” That though it would have been hard to kiss for the last time the cold lips of a dead husband, and lay ais body for ever in the dust, it is harder still to behold hi n so debasing in life, that even death would be greeted in me cy. Had he died in the light of his goodness, be queathing to his family the inheritance of an un tarnished name, and the example of virtues that should blossom for his sons and daughters from the tomb ; though she would have wept biltterly indeed, the tears of grief would nut also have been the tears of shame. IShe beholds him fallen from the station he once adorned, degraded from eminence to igno miny ; at home, turning his dwelling to darkness, and its holy endearments to mockery ; abroad, thrust from the companionship of the worthy, a self-branded outlaw. The Races over tiie Greenville Turf have been “comeoff,” this week, and there has been some fine sport to the lovers of such amuse i ents.
