g.an, and who hr the way says a good many good

focos and their future prospects. He present? to
Locofoco hopes and amh tion a very dark picture,
whirt we have no doubt will be fully realised, so
far as the fate of Locofocoism L? concerned.
From the St. Joseph Times.
Onr Party.
Never was an army or pany so completely
routed as the Old Republican (Locofoco pha
ianax. which has stood up in the defence of the
Administration. Our numbeis are thinned down
to a Corporal's Guard, and we fight not for vic
tory, but or existence as a party. Treason, unprin
cipled ambition, persona! pique and other causes,
have all contributed to this result, and it is scarce
ly now an act of candor to admit, that we (the
party.) are beaten, betrayed and delivered over
to the spoliers of the Constitution. We depend
ed in the outset upon the great and equal princi
ples avowed by trie administration —its Southern
doctrines, and when the pet Banks' pets. Rives
and TaimaJge, went over to the enemy, we wait
ed the thunoer from the Democratic States of
Virginia and New York ; but that thunder came
in the shout of approval. We relied upon this
measure and upon that: we fell back from State
U- tate; we have hoped against hope, and now
Maine, hitherto faithful Maine is coming up into
the line with our enemies. Georgia, our well
loved and native State, has slid away from tne
Republican (Locofoco) ranks, and pitched her
tents in the Grand Whig encampment along side
of Massachusetts, and Connecticut, and Rhode
Island, In looking over our vast country, there
is scarcely a State or district free from the cor
rupting taint of whiggery—scarce one spot on
| which the patriot eye can rest, or cf which he
can say," here are cherished in their original pu
rity, the principles of the Constitution of Jef
ferson and of Madison.” South Carolina alone,
is erect, stern and incorrupt.tile. The game is
up—it is useless to fall back from individual
States, upon me intelligence, the reason, the
sober judgement of the mass—the people are
drunk, cider mad. and their moral countenances
peering through the cracks of their mimic log
cebms, give no hope for the salvation of the coun
try.

Your 10th question .5 in itus word*;
“lOta. Do vou believe that the patronage of
the Federal Government ought to Le brought in
conflict w;t_i the freedom of elections!**
1 see h:;;e difference .etw«j the question as
thus stated anr one w here the phra-reoloey would
be entirely changed. and I r.ac been asaed “if I
was desirous to preserve the tree institutions un
de- which I have lived from my infancy, which
have shed so much happiness upon my country
and Detained for it a character so exalted through
out the whole civil jed wotki'”
If there was anv cause for the alarm msmtest
ed by Mr Jefferson at the interference of the
federal office holders ia the public ejections ;a h.s
day ; caotrocsiv and stealthily as t ova; done —
what would he think, coulu Le cow behold the
open and uc: hashing manner in which the tre
mendous power they possess (quadrupled in
amount as it is has been brought to bear upon
public op ini. n in the discussion and decision ot
every question, whetner relating to general or
State policy!
Can i: oe doubfc-d that there is mere to be
a. preheeded to tht institutroos ot the ccur.iry
from the -a arm of onioch. .oers under the control
of the federal executive, than from a standing
arst wL.ch has bees alwaysaac jostiy the dread
of Keen lies? Ia the first place, the control of
the Pres Jen: js niv-cii creater over the office a eid
ers than it is or cam be over the army proper.
The officers of the army would spurn the dicta
tion of tne Preside at on a;.y sutject net re-, a ling
to public d_;y, an d is the m Jury aws stand at
present, they could i» so with impunity. But
where :s the civil officer who v. 11 dare lo differ
w.th the Executive upon any political question,
without "he ceta: ity or betas: ejected from office
and deprived r-e-h-ip* of the netas oi supplying
the dailv bread to uscn.iJren.
I am warrantei In the use of tLn? language by
the recent treat me at of the gallant Van Rec-se
iaer. The army having little communication
w.:a their countrv xes. could at this lime and I
none for a long lure yet to come, be brought to
act w.th effect in the soppo.t of me illegal preten
sions of a Pres.dent only when public opinion
„ad neen p re pared by some corrupting influence
operating immediately up-on the peopre. No in
fluence cocld be bet.er su. ted Krr this purpose,
i:.an that which could be used by the countless
mass ofotneeho. Jers wh en fc:*ecistrk-«teute ,i oo»a
thecount-v. in daily interco arse with the peop.e.
and warned bv the examples constantly occurring
that ffe tenure bv which they boKi their offices
wi? the character which th?y cooid obtain, Rut
for fideLtv to their country, act for the zeal which
thev manifested sn forwarding the views of their
employers. No one can. I dunk, doubt that an
influence thus powerful, brought into conflict
w.tn the freedom of elections, most necessarily
result ia tne entire control of those elections, by the
power which wields that influence at its pleasure.
The remedy for ihisevii. so pregnant w,;h danger
t: •Ri -i c, would mo re properly be iound,
as I have said, ia legislative provision. But in
default of that, by a deciaa don from a President,
thr.kirg as I do, that -he would not attempt lo
influence the elections by ti e people of the Stale
Legislatures, nor suffer the federal officers under
his control to take any olh er part in them thau
by giving their own votes when they had the
right of voting.”
But wniist I would, by the measure I have
recomm flded, free the cout itry from the danger
ous influence of the federal government operating
upon the freedom of eiectio ns, lam prepared t»
give a decided negative ans ver to your eleventh
questi .m as follows;
“I llh. Do you believe rh u a capable and faith
ful public officer ougiit to be removed from office
for opinion’* sake.”
No indeed Whilst I w oaid guard, as above
stated, the freedom of erect; >ns from the influence
of the General Governmec t. tnrough H« regions
of officeholders. I would elevate the officeholders
themselves from their deg raded con ition. (the
minions of power—tne inre ruments for executing
a master's will,) to tne proud rank of American
citizens—restoring to them their unaliena le right
of exercising the elective Franchise under no re
sponsibility but to their G od and their conscien
ces. iby no means wish to say that the condi
tion of all or even a cons iderabie portion of the
present officeholders is su ;h as I have described ;
but if tire system of proscription now in operation
is continued, there can be no doubt that ere long
no independent men will be left tm*ng them.
I must ask from my fri ends a candid examina
tion of the principles adv anced in my letter lo
the New York Commit .ee. and a reference to
those of the Declaration of Independence and to
the fact also that I was >orn and educated in a
rotate, in the constitution of which there was an
article declaring that the Legislative. Executive
and Judicial departments of the government
should be forever separate and distinct.”
For the manner which the veto power given
by the constitution toffie Presidentof the United
States should be exercised, I refer you to my let
ters to Messrs. Williams and Denny,
With high respect,
I am vour bumble servant,

Another Land Slide at Puftcsvrsi. —
The Iberville Gaze lie of the i7th iast.. says;
••About six arpenls ot levee and some of the pub
lic road in front of the town of Plaquemine. had
been carried away by an ihcr slide of earth.—
The slide began about two hundred feet from the
former one, so that there will be at least fifteen
arpents of levee to be made to preserve the town
and a great part of the parish on the right ban*
of the river from the danger of an overflowing.
This second diastrer tc K>k place on Friday last, and
the ground still continues lo settle. There now
remains of the whole front of the town but a
small point where boats can land, and if that
| slides, there will be no steamboat landing until
high water.”

negro man wounding him in the band, who ef

ana farced her to accompany them.—But being

Early Discovery of America. — The Copen
hagen Antiquarian; have recent y discovered new
evidences of the early settlement of this continent
by tre Scandinavians. Dr. Lund, a ce.ebiated
. Danish geoiogis*. has communicated to tre North
ern Archaeological Society, an interesting account
of some exhumations made by him in the vi jcity
; of Bahia in Brazil, which are confirmatory of thie
1 Scandinavian ypothe-is. His discove O' began
with the fragment or a flag-stone, covered with
engraved Runic characteis. but greatly injured,
i Having succeeded in g several words
wr.icb he rec gr. Ted a; belonging to the Icelandish
- tongue, he extended his re>eafches. and s joa came
upon the found-ffoi sos house* in hewn Uone,
bearirr a strong ar hitectural resemblance to tue
; ruins existmg in the narthem parts of Norway,
Iceland, and in Greenland. Thus encouraged, he
went resolutely on. and at length after -everai
day» digging, found the Niandinavian God of Thus
ier mere, with ai! his attubutes —the hammer,
! gaunt.ets, and magic girdle. The Society has

Studt.—One of the great defects of seif-train
ing at the present day is. that there is much more
reading than stuay. Both of these are indis
pensable in their proper relations, but either of
them can lake place of the other. Reading is
necessary to furnish us with tne tacts of p.resecl
ana former ages; it gives us the materials of
tboi ght; it directs our minds, wnhoat much ef
fect on our pan. into new and delightful chan
nels, and thus pence's our taste and forms our
style; anu it affords, ala cheap rate, a high and
mental luxury. But reading is not studv. A
man might read a world of books, and* good
books, too, and yet not possess the shadow of a
’ claim to scholarscip A trained mind, a thor
oughly educated mind, is the product onlv of
study. Every person should devote some portion
ol his time to the acquisition ot a definite branch
of know ledge, and he snould set about it with a
lull purpose to master the subject; and he wouin
thus superinduce in se ba its of mental pr nciple
and selt-control—that felicity in consecutive in
quiries, w rich prepare him to grasp, and anaivse
and comprehend other subjects. This is a busi
ness that every man must do for himself. No
school or college can perform it for him, no learn
! ed professor er public lecturer can point out anv
royal road to these attainments. Bit I must
I add. that there is much more light reading at the
present day than solid.
M e live in an age of book making, and it
would be but common praise to sav that the p*o
ductions of the age are read.—they are literaiiv
devoured. But many of these productions are
of a light and trivial character, and succesive ones
are becoming more so. The popular novels of
the day . tor example, began with the - Great Un-
Known. and they are likely to end, if an ever
i lasting thread could have end. with the w Rings
ol every •* little well known en both sides ofthe
Atlantic. For these effusions, and those of cer
tain modern bard- who bi d wdipped the materials
of poetry into froth and foam, tae standard En
glish classics in prose and verse must be laid a
side; and tnese mere comets—vou mav add. ola
z.ng. it you please, tor they afford not onlv scin
tilations, but flames of genius now and then—
are to be intellectual polar stars to direct on the
.ac ocean of life the bark that carries the rising
generation. Ihe whole class of writings which
constitute what may be called the - Pickwick”
literature, while u contains fine touches in that
kind of description in which it abounds, is of
verj doubtlul intellectual tendenev. It is a little
uir.ing on peppcTyand salt, and terminating the
