Shop-keepers are advised to t row.age. To sacri nee both their ascendancy and individuality where they happen to pre dominate, in order to benefit an administra tion continuing to proscribe them would no doubt, be very magnanimous, and worthy of thorn, supposing them to be actuated only by love of country ; but the effort requires tiic conviction that the national weal would be promoted.”—He is clear forgiving the Fede ralists their proper share of “ the loaves and fishes,” but has no idea of any inordinate sa- cpfires ot their ascendancy and individuali- t 'or the benefit of an Administration which c o} tin lies to proscribe them. We fear, there- foie that t**c National Journal wdl in vain attempt to sooth Mr. Walsh by any general appeals to his patriotism ; by telling him how much the national weal is tobe pro- ip* nioted by “breaking down a'combination, pregnant with evil, which has been entered into against the exist ins: Chief Magistrate” —or how much it is to he promoted by “ the desirable attitude in which this amalgama tion would place our institutions, in the es timation of the friends of republican systems in other nations ; and to the great example of patriotism which, by such an act, we ve should exhibit to future America.” Mr. IV. w ill ask perhaps in return, that some re spect be paid to this as well as to other na tions ; and to the present as well as to future dimeric a—and that he has no idea of mag nanimously supporting an administration which so magnanimously showers down all its patronage upon such persons as Mr. Binns and leaves the more unworthy friends of the administration to be “ actuated only t y love of country.” “ non nobis tantas componere liti s !” We leave them to manage their ow n affairs in their own way ; while we turn for one moment to the Proclamation Speech of Mr. Webster at Boston. We beg our readers to peruse this Speech with attention. We shall not animadvert upon the great apprehensions which it con veys of the perilous state of the administra tion. That feeling is written >n every line. But we beg leave to notice one or two spe- f ial remarks only, which the Orator has ur ged by way of enlisting the prejudices of his ^bearers against the good peop’e of Virginia. ^PHe significantly points to the circumstance, that “ during the whole period, now near 8 forty* years, in which the present govern- ^rnent had existed, Virginia had never once given her yote for fea-effice of President, to any but a native of her own state.” It is by this remark, Mr. Webster thatijje could not put by the claims of such men a? Washington, Jqfieiison, Madison. Monroe and Crawford, in oVder to support such gentlemen as Messi-ei. hSphn and John Q. Adams, we must plead; guilty to the charge ; and we pjAoutefctves upon our country for our safe^leliverance. But if Massachusetts would present to her country such worthy citizens as have graced the annals of America, like Samuel Adams and John Hancock, the remark of Mr. Webster would no longer carry with it any reproach la truth we hope at the very next election to weaken the imputation—by giving our vote to some one who is not a native of our own State. The only regret is, that it can not fall upon a citizen of Massachusetts. Mr. W. states also as a curious circum stance, that “ those who supported not ihe highest but the lowest candidate,” now “ moft loudly” complain of Air. Adams’s being elected, though “ he was not the lead ing candidate before the people.” We must set Air. W. right ; it is not the friends of Mr. Crawford, but of General Jackson, who make the loudest complaints on this sub ject.—The great mass of the former have certainly never dwelt upon, the objection. It is the very circumstance, which he denies that constitutes the insuperable exception to Mr. Adams—for, it is not true, th&t he has not “ experienced the common candoi/ of ''being judged by his acts.” It is his'acts which condemn him, wesay it boldly, in-the c’'cs of Virginia. By these, has she tried him. lie has been.,weighed im/(lie- sickle and found wanting—and his "kingdom will be taken from him. Not all tire arts of tin Orator, nor all the exertions of the Coali tjon and the Amalgamation can preserve his tottering power, There is pollution in the touch, there is per- i open both of their folding doors, lest by fail dition in the example of a profligate woman: j ing to do so they shut out trade from those “ her ways lead down to the chamber of who cannot enter under full sad, as it is al- death, and her steps take hold on hellways disagreeable to lower the peake, or and shall we,^stand*ng in a watch tower to take in a reef when making for port.—Alb. warn our countrymen of approaching dan- Dai.

Away with th»s squeamish ness, this mistaken magnanimity; it is treachery to the country. A man to be magnanimous must be so at his own expense, and not at that of others, and least of all. at the expense of the constitution, the laws and the moral sense of the republic. We hope we are flexible to reason and to hu manity, but upon all great public questions we do avow, and will ever show, that neither friends nor foes, nor pistols, nor rifles, nor thunder, nor lightning, shall ever make ns give way the breadth of one hair.

A conspiracy in favour of Don Carlos, the brother of Ferdinand, is said to have been detected in Spain.
