We might, if we wore to sit down lo the task, enumerate hundreds ofleading men—or men,known in the political storms that have past, who were fed eralists, nnd n« federalists, opposed to tho adminis tration* of Jefferson and JackjuN. Is it nny won der then, that these politician* are to bo found ar rayed against Van Buren ! But nn unfl-dgnd politician of the whig school, of tho present day, taking bis ideas from certain whig presses, which assert ull tilings which can aid their purty; whether nr not susceptible of proof, will cry out: IVe (the wliigs) are the Democratic party, — yottt party it composed of Federaliete. We would ask this or that tyro,"in what political school would ho rank Danidl Webster, John Q. Adair,s, (and since 1824—Henry Clay/) The? used to cull themselves National Republicans—another name for Federalists, whonitned at m iking the Cun- Mitutinn a nose of wax, to be Cushioned to suit their purpose* of ambition. When was Daniel Webster a Democratic Repub lican! Was it, when he opposed tha second war of American Independence, und rejoiced nt the victo ries of the enemies of his country! Wns it, when homivocat. d a high tariff for protection, not a tariff for revenue, and thus filled the treasury with such a surplus fund as to cause a spirit of speculation in the country, which led it to tho brink of ruin! Wa* it, when he received from Federalists, four, teen votes, for President of tho Uniied States, when the Democratic candidate, Mr. Van Buren, received fmm the people, one hundred nnd seventy votes! Was.John Q. Adi ms u Democratic Republican, when, in 1825, lie attempted to wrest from Georgia her Indian Territory, nt the point of the bayonet!— Or was he one, when in 1828, the people, tho Dom- crate of this country, turned him out of the Presi dency, where n ruction of Fcd-.rnli-t* und turn coat Republicans (ut this day styled Conservatives,) had placed trim? Wa* Henry Clay n Democratic Republican, when In 1825 ho elected, through his influonce In the H. of Representatives, J. Q. Adams to the Chief Ma gistracy nf this Republic, nnd then " at a safe pre cedent" took tho seat of Secretary of Stuto under Mr Adams! Was he onu when, nt tho next election, the people disgusted with his intrigues, refused to confirm his election of Adams! Mr. Clay had the mortification tojsee Mr. Adnms defeated, by n .vote us smnll ns ho received In 1824, while the friends of Crawford nml of Clay Iu 1824, ne.irly to n man, supported Jackson in 1828. for the I'rosid ncy. Was Mr. Clay a Democratic Ropuhllcnnin 1832. when ho took' ihi* place of Adam* before tho peo ple and'received but 40 votes, while Andrew Jack- son was elected by 219 votes! Without glancing nt other trails in the political character of Webster, Adams, nml Clay,(for these fuels will suffice for us.) wo would simply inquire where are theso men now to he found 7 With the Hnrrfson Pnrty. * Rallying under the bnunor of Tip, Tyler and the Tariff tn defeat, if possild", the Democrutio Cundidutu lor the Presi deney.

Let every Southern WHiit consider bofoie lie votes, that on his vote rests, mure or less, not only the pre*ervntion of Democratic prlnclph but the sulvution of his united—his free und happy country.

My last year's crop brought mo mote money than any ono crop or the Inst three yuoiV, i tie increased quaiiti y mure than made up for the diminution of price. This fa the case also with manv of my nvighlmr*. I trocentW received a letter from a armur in my neighborhood, who informed me tbut he had sold from hi* last yenr’s crop .437 dollars worth orhuj , and i hat ho had 4 or 5 ton* yet to spare, which would make It up 590 dollars. He had beside this, his wheat, corn, and oats to sell, and he own* nnu works onlv about ninety ncre# of Und. Wo farmor* know that when we hare nn abundant crop- tall other things being equal) the price will boiowv er than when thn crop Is sltntt. It Is therefore not always the'best times for farmers when prioe* are very high, huvausoitis generally owing tu a shun crop. It requires a certain quantify olg.'iiln fa r ( |, 0 - T il* “ n{ ^ *tack, and if he consumes if all, the high price is of no advantage- to him. Wa- had belter have two hundred bushels of whent nt one dollar, than nno hundred at two dullnts per bushef,. For exnmplet say that it takes 50 busliefs for breaiT and seed. In that case we would havo 50 bushels left, at two dollais, tanking $190, and In tho other cine we would have 150 i.usbels left t $1, mokiiig $Io0. But, sir, we ure like other men—we like biff crons nnd high prices too. We have, however, heard orthe country being ruined su often frum the Oppo sition iwllhin the lost few yeors. thut wo understand their object.

Here it will bo proper to remark th'ita portion of Ihe money in the United States Bank belonged to tho sinking fund, under the act of March 5, 1817, set ting aj art ten millions of dollar* to pn> tbo interest and also to reduce the principal of the debt of tho Revolution nnd late war, On tho 12th nf February, 1816, tha whole dubt amounted to $123,039,992, 95.

This fa, purliaps, an exception to the general rule;' nnd thn renaon ts obvious. ' We have nil bank near us, nor have we any thing to do whb them. - Every* man keeps his own money, and no bank marks uiir checks g od without paying the money.

I find generally, win re men are thrown out of employ merit, that Ills for want oraoontihu. nnceof honk aoonnimodniions lo carry on business. Too many of pur business men depend nponbanb loans tb curry on their business; nnd when ihat I* withheld, they nre compelled to discharge their hands.
