CHANGE OF DIRECTION.
We desire such of our subscribers as may at
any time wish the direction of their papers chan
ged from one Post Oifice to another, to inform
us, »<t all cases, of the place to which they had
been previously sent; as the mere order to for
waid them to a different office, places it almost ■
outof our power,to comply, because we have no
means ofascertaining the office from which they :
aro ordered to be changed, but a search through :
Our whole subscription Book, containing Severn I
thousand names. j

Persons, at a distance, who are desirous
of giving their advertisements an extensive

THE STANDARD OF UNION presents the
means of spreading them before a larger

11Y WASHINGTON IRVING.
As many retired matrons of the country
unskilled in “gesticlore,” tire doubtless ig
norant of lhe movements and figures of rno
i dent exhibitions, 1 will endeavor to give
some account of it, in order that they may
learn what odd capers their daughters some
times ettf, when from under the protection
of their guardian wings. O.t a signal be
ing given by the music, the gentleman;eiz
cs the lady round her wai t; the lady,
scorning to be outdone in courtesy, very po
litely takes the gentleman round the neck,
with one arm resting against his shoulder,
to prevent encroachments. Away, then
they go, about “ About what, sir?”
About the room, madam, to be sure. The
whole economy of this dance consists in
turning round and round the room in inea
| sured step; and it is truly astonishing that
j this continued evolution does not set all the
1 heads swimming like a top; but I have
I been positively assured that it only creates
> a gentle sensation marvellously agreeable.
| In this circumnavigation, the dancersinor
| der to give the charm of variety, are con
tinually changing their relative situations;
now the gentleman, meaning no harm in
the world, I assure you, madam, carelessly
Hings his arms about the lady’s neck with
an air of celestial impudence, and anon, the
lady, meaning as little hatm as the gentle
man, takes him round the waist with most
ingenious modest languishment, to the great
delight of numerous spectatorsand ama
teurs, who generally form a ring, as the
mob do about a pair of Amazons pulling
caps, or a couple of fighting mastiffs. Af
ter continuing this divine interchange of
hands, arms, &.c. for half an hour or more*
the lady begins to tire, and with eyes up
raised in the most bewitching langor, peti
tion her partner for a little more support.
This is always givpn without hesitation.
The lady leans gently on his shoulder, their'
arms entwined in a thousand seducing hnd 1
mischievous curves—don’t be p,’arp,- |f f j ma _ I
dam closer and closer they approach each ;
other, ;md j n t | )e conclusion, the parties,
overcome with exstatical fatigue, the lady
seems sinking into the gentleman’s arms,
and then “Well, sir, what then ?”
Why, madam, how should 1 know ?
EXCERPTS.
On spending Time.— The celebrated
Lord Coke wrote the subjoined distich,
w hich he religiously observed in the distri- ,
bution of time:
Six hours <o sleep—to laws’ grave study six;
Four spend in prayer—the rest to nature fix.
But Sir William Jones, a wiser economistof
the fleeting hours of life, amended the sen
timent in the following lines:
Seven hours to law—to soothing slumber seven,
Ten to the world—and all to heaven.
How to destroy a falling Brother.— Look
sly at him, speak harshly and unkindly,ac
cuse, blame, criminate and threaten; speak i
ill of him in his absence; lose sight of all j
his excellencies, and magnify his faults. |
How to restore a fallen Brother.— Thou I
art in the boat, he has fallen overboard into !
the water; therefore don’t push him with the ;
oar, for he w ill only go farther from thee, or i
sink to rise no more. Rather sail around
him, enclose hitn in the gospel net, or lake I
him up io thy hands and lift him into the,
boat, and speak kindly and comfortable to I
him, and remember that by doing so, thou |
shall hide a multitude of sins.
If Christians must contend, let it be like !
the olive and the vine: which shall bear
the most and the best fruit—not like the as- I
pen and the elm; which shall make most I
noise in the wind.
Man is to himself the most astonishing j
object in nature, for he cannot conceive
what body is, still less what spirit is, and |
less than all, how a body' and a spirit can be |
united. That is the climax of his difficul
ties, and yet it is his proper being.
Prefer the aged, the virtuous, and the
knowing, and choose those thavexcel, for
your company and friendship, but despise
not others.
Idleness is the bog of gentry, the bane of
body* and mind, the nurse of naughtiness,
the step-mother of deception, the chief au
thor of ail mischief, one of the seven dead
ly sins, the cushion upon which the devil
chiefly reposes, and a great cause not only
of melancholy, but of many other diseases;
for the mind is naturally active, and if it be
not occupied about some honest business it
rushes into mischief or sinks into melancho
ly*
What you leave at your death, let it be
without controversy, else the lawyers will be
your heirs.
More hearts pine away in secret anguish
for unkindness from those who should be
their comforters titan for any other calamity
i in life.
A dog has been the companion of man
I for more titan five hundred years, and has
I learned but one of his vices; that is to wor
| ry his species when he finds them iu dis
tress.”
Connivance.— He that winks at an injury
he might prevent, shares in it; and it is as
scandalous to fear blame or reproach for do
ing your duty, as to deserve reproof for ne
glect of it.
A Singular Circumstance.— A lady walk
ing across lhe fields in lhe neighborhood of
j Islington, observed two very suspicious
looking fellows, who seen Ted watching an
opportunity to rob her ; her alarm was in
creased by observing a fellow of a similar
appearance in a pathway at a little distance
from her, but as the case did not admit of
visitatijn, she beckoned him to stop, and
addressed him withan air of confidence :
“ Str, you look like a gentleman. Ido not
’ like lhe appearance of those fellows behind
; us. 1 think they intend to rob me.” “Ma
dam,” replied the if you //ill take
my arm, I will attend you till you are quite
out of danger; you will see when I wave
mv handkerchief, the two men will s | lcar
off. They arc my companions, and we in
tended to rob you, but when confidence is
reposed in me, 1 am not scoundrel enough
to betray it.” He attended her until she
came in sight of her own bouse, when she
offered him a guinea as a reward for bis
protection; he refused, adding, “ I hope I
have more honor left than to place my cha
racter on a level with that of a lawyer— 1
am above taking a fee.”
Dead Men's Thoughts.— lt is recorded
in the Boston Medical Journal of April,
that some of the most eminent physiologists
of Germany and France are now pertina
ciously arguing the very curious question
as to whether a man feels after his head is
off. In support of this unpleasant theory
many facts are adduced with grave vouch
ers for their authenticity. Among others is
the most unfortunate Mary, Queen ofScots,
whose lips continued to move in prayer for
at least a quarter of ati hour after the ex
ecutioner performed his duty. Windt states
that after having pm his mouth to the ear
of a departed criminal’s head, and calling
him by name, the eyes turned to the side from
w.tence the voice came ; and this is attested
by Fontenelle, Mogore, Gullitine, Handle
and Aldini. On the word murder being
called in the ear of a criminal executed for
that crime at Colhlentz, the halfclosed eyes ,
opened with an expression of reproach on !
those who stood around. ,
There was a boy in my class at school
(says Sir VV. Scott,) who stood always at
the top, nor could I, with all my efforts sup
plant him. Day came after day, and still
he kept his place do what I would, till at
length I observed that when a question was
asked him, he always fumbled with his fin
ger at a particular button in 'he lower part
of liis waiscoat. T o remove it, therefore,
became expedient in my eyes, and in an
e '.di moment it was removed with a knife.
Great was my anxiety to know the success '
of my measure, and it succeeded too well.
U hen the boy was again questioned his j
finger sought for the button ; but it was not 1
to be found. In his distress he looked down ;
for it; it was to be seen no more than to '
be felt. He stood confounded and I took
possession of bis place ; nor did he ever !
recover it, nor ever, I believe, suspect who :
was the author of his wrong. Often in as- ]
ter life has the sight of him smote nte as I ■
passed by him ; and often have I resolved I
to make him some reparation, but it ended I
in good resolutions.— Lockhart's Life of <

THE APPROACHING ELECTIONS.
Our creed has been, and still is, Princi
ples and Men. Conscientiously believing
that lhe principles of the party to which we
are attached are sound, and better calcu’a'-
cd than others to advance the prosperity of
the country, and maintain the political, ci
vil, and religious rights of the people, it is
a natural wish that those principles should ;
always prevail in the administration of our
state and federal affairs; and it is a duty
we owe to tfie country to give our undivid
ed exertions in maintaining the ascendency
of the party which professes those pi inci- j
pies. Can we maintain the ascendency of
our party, and, consequently, of our prin
ciples, otherwise than by conferring official
power and influence on men belonging to
the same party, and professing the same
principles? \?e believe not. Why then
should we vote for men of an antagonist
party, professing other principles ? If we)
were to vote, at the elections in October I
next, for any one of our adversaries, we )
would be guilty of a serious offence against j
our party; we would act against the dic
tates of our conscience; and would violate
the solemn duty we owe to our country,
which is, in all cases, to vote conscientiously ■
and independently. To pretend to belong
to a party, and profess its principles, and
then to vote for men of another parly, whet
entertain other principles, cannot be recon
ciled with true dignity and honor. Men
acting in this manner lose the confidence
of the party to which they had attached
themselves, and acquire an unenviable re
putation among those whom they served by
their votes: in fact, they never can be trust
ed hereafter by any party.
Next October we have to elect a Gover-'
nor. Two candidates are before the elec
tors; Gov. Schley and Mr. Gilmer: both
men of reputation and talents. One is the
candidate of the Union party, and the other
of the Nullification party. We shall not
attempt to lessen the character and abilities
of Mr. Gilmer, by comparing them with the
character and abilities of Gov. Schley ; we
have too much personal respect for Mr.
Gilmer to endeavor to promote the interests
of bis opponent by representing him as des
titute of qualifications. The interest of
Gov. Schley cannot be promoted by level
ling Mr. Gilmer to the lowest grade of in
tellect, if even it could be done with truth
and justice. The standing of Gov. Schley
does not require such a prop. But the one
is the candidate of lheUnion party, and the
other is the candidate of our opponents:!
this is enough for us, and all true Union
men, to support and vote for Gov. Schley.
And why vote for him? Because we are
convinced that he is qualified to discharge ;
the duties of the office for which he is a
candidate; because he professes the princi
ples of the Union party; and because by
electing him we maintain the ascendency of
our party, and of our principles, in the
state. Gan we, without abandoning pur
party arnd our principles, vole forJMr. Gil
mer? Certainly not. We virtually aban
don opr party, apd reject our principles, by
voting for Mr. Gilmer, because our party
may be placed in the minority, and other
principles will govern tke state udministra-
> tion. Dmy to the state and to the who! ■
j country demands that we should strictly ad
j here to our party and to our principles ;
I and wc cannot give a better demonstration
of regard for our public institutions, than
by following the motto, “Principles and
Men : principles first, and then men to car
ry out those principles. But it may hap
pen, that personal objections may exist a- |
gainst a candidate of lhe party. This we
readily admit; and we admit also that we
have heard of personal objections against
Gov. Schley, by a few Union men. Should
personal objections have any weight, when
the ascendency of our party and of oir
principle, is involved in the issue of an elec
tion ? Could Union men voting for Mr.
Gilmer call themselves patriots and consis
tent Union men? Suppose that by their
votes Mr. Gilmer should be elected, what
gratification would they feel? Could the
defeat of Gov. Schley compensate the few
Union men who may vote for Mr. Gilmer,
for the mortification they will give to thou
sands of political friends ? And could such
Union men ever afterwards have the hardi
hood to call upon those thousands of politi
cal friends for support and countenance ? '
Certainly not. The Union party has no
thing to do with the private transactions of
its members, nor with the personal objec
tions that may be entertained by a few a
gainst the candidates of the party. Gov.
Schley has been presented by the Union
party as their candidate for the office of Go
vernor, at the October elections: the Union
party expects, therefore, that ever}' citizen
who professes to be a Union man, and to be
long to that phrly, will vote for that candi
date. We say the Union party expects
every Union man to vote for Gov. Schley;
the .Union party cannot use compulsion ; ’
for it is a natural right of every American !
citizen to vote for whom he pleases. Eve-;
ry man in this country can entertain and ,
express whatever principles he may choose,
and change them as often as he thinks pro
per ; hut at the same time he cannot expect
to retain his station among men professing
a certain set of principles, if he has thought
proper to put them aside, and adopt those
of another party; and he cannot be consi- '
dered as belonging to the party, when his
acts are at variance with the principles he
pretends to profess, and the declarations of
his being yet a member of that party. If
we conscientiously believed that the princi
ples of the Union party were not sound,
and best calculated to promote the welfare
of the country, we would make the declara
tion ; and from that moment we would vote
against the candidates of the Union party.
Could we, after such declarations, and after
voting in this manner, pretend still to be
long to the Union party, and could we have i
the effrontf'V to claim the benefits and pri- !
vileges of Union t3?P ?

“THE ANTI-VAN BUREN PARTY.” ;
This is the cognomen assumed by a new i
combination of men, composed cf disap
pointed aspirants, and chafed demagogties,
throughout the United States, by which
they are to know and identify eacit other,
in their unholy crusade against the princi
ples of Democracy and of the Constitution.
This name has been substituted for the re
cently much abused title of “ Whig,” worn
so conspicuously by the Abolitionists and :
Federalists of the north, to hide their real
Tory principles-of’76. In the south this j
name, “ Anti-Van Buren,” has been adopt- '
ed in lieu of the former names of “ Anti- !
Tariff,” “Republican,” “State Rights,” i
“ Anti-Jackson,” “Nullification,” &.c. Sic. ■
which, in their order, have been tried and;
found to be ineffectual, the people being too 1
intelligent to be gulled by the mere force I
of popular names, when these names ceas
ed to represent corresponding principles.
1 Under this new title of “ Anti-Vanßuren
Party,” standjarrayed all the mal contents of j
the country —all the enemies of lhe Consti- j
ttttion, as so many volunteer companies bent
upon the Same object, differing only as res
pects their various uniforms. Their prin
ciples are identical, all tending to produce
the same result —the overthrow of the con
stitution, and with it all the dear blood
bought rights of the people,
The real opponents of our glorious form
of government, ever since the days *of lhe
elder Adams, and of their discomfiture in
the repeal of the alien and sedition laws,
have sought and looked with argtts eyes to
some popular point, and some popular name,
I whence they could stir lhe people into a fer
ment, and in the great hurry and bustle of
excitement, seize upon and destroy.the great
charter of American libertj. Hence they
have been the constant panic makers, and
the authors of every general distress, so far
as the aroused fears of the people, occa
sioned by their long and loud false clamors,
could contribute to such distress. “The
Anti Van Buren Party,” as it is now known,
combines various small parlies of factions,
disappointed and discontented men, who
had not, until recently, been able to unite
their restless and seemingly discordant spi
rits—they have, at length, however, forgot
ten all minor differences, joined their diffe
rent corps together, and have been muster
ed into the sen ice in close columns, armed
and equipped as their by laws direct.
The imagination points them out as quite
! a fantastical army, exhibiting as great a va
riety of uniforms, flags, costumes and coun
tenances, as the different Indian nations of
the far west. They all look lean and hag
gard and hungry for office ; in their scuffle
j for power, they look as though they had
I spent many restless nights in the invention
i of some new scheme, and new name, with
which to defraud lhe honest unsuspecting
' patriot.
I The front company is the company of
■ Nullifiers, commanded by Captain John C.
I Calhoun. Their uniform, blue coats and
J white pantaloons—a button cockade, and
I red flag, and sitigjji star. The men look of
■ the lantgrit-jawed order, being pale and
• 1 swarthy* ami as us consurfimive jublu—*
; the contortions of their faces show how
j miserable is ambition in defeat.
J Next behind these, stand the company of I
( Abolitionists, Coinnjanded by Captain Ar
.tour lappan, a little old quaker. Their
■ uniform, grey sattinet rouri.labouts, low
l breeches, and low crowned hats. They
; have cried so much about slavery, that they
I have contracted flat noses and thick lip.s,
and in many instances, kinckey heads, i
_ hey have a tin plate in front, whereupon
is engraved “ Emancipation”— their flag is
black satin, with the picture of a nigwur's
head on it.
The third company is the company ofthe
Blue Light Federalists, ofthe elder Adam’s
school, commanded by Capt. Daniel Web
ster. Their uniform is black broat-cloth,
fresh from England. * Their pockets are 1
full of money, derived from the sale in the ;
South, of wooden nut-megs, wooden clocks,
and such-like commodities. They have a
stand of colours, without stars or stripes, and I
in the place where the eagle should appear, 1
is a blue light, burning like a taper. Un
der this blue light is engraved in large ■
letters, these words, “ The British will
stand of] - , the Democrats are coming.’” If
you were to judge from the looks of this
company, you would suppose from their ap
parent fatigue, that they had just been
pulled out bead and ears from an almost
inextricable bog. These and the prece
ding company of Abolitionists, are kindred
tirit*, and only differ as regard their flag
and dress.
The fourth company, composing the fa
mous regiment, is the company ofTariffites,
commanded by Captain Henry Clay, a tall,
raw-honed, long-faced Kentuckian. They
are growing hemp enough this year to hang
their brethren in arms. Their uniform is
manufactured from the Kentucky bagging
—grass hats of home manufacture. Their
flag is made of cotton bagging, with this
inscription written on it in large black let
ters, “ The compromise and protective
Tariff forever.”
This standing army of disappointed of
fice hunters, are under the pay of Col Nich
olas Biddle, Pay Master, and proprietor of
the British Bank of the United States.
Gentle reader, pause for a moment and
reflect. This picture though sketched from
fancy, is but too true. Look to this mat
ter, and behold the formidable array of op
ponents to the Constitution. Look to the
East, the North, the South, and the West—
see the enemies of the people and of the j
Constitution gathering together like a black |
cloud, presently to descend upon us, in an I
awful storm. Friends of liberty—lovers of j
Union—admirers of the Constitution— !
where are jdu.? Stand upon the outer’
walls and watch. Remember that eternal
vigilance is, “the price of liberty,’’’and that
only, will s*ve the country. Be constantly
at your posts lest the enemy come within,
and seize upon our stars and bur stripes.
Opposed to this combination, stand the
Uniod men of Georgia, to fight the first
battle on the first Monday in October next.
Union men be prepared for the onset.
Stand op t° your principles and the Con- j
stitution, and all will be well.
The victory—the triumph will be yours.
The combined army, of which the forego
ing picture is but an imperfect sketch, will
be put to flight, and the star spangled
banner will continue still to wave in proud j
ascendency over the land of lhe free and
the home ofthe brave. .

THE EXPERIMENT.
“The Experiment lias failed!” shouts
Dufl’Green. “Certainly,” echoes lhe Geor
gia Journal. “ Ditto, ditto,” yelps the Ma
con Messenger. “The Experiment of An
drew Jackson has failed, tetotaciously fail
ed,” chimes in every nullifying organ from
Dan to Bersheba.
What Experiment? What measure,plan
or project of Andrew Jackson has failed?
We put it (o the opposition themselves
What scheme that he ever took in hand has
failed ?
It is a mistake. The experiments of An
drew Jackson have all succeeded. Did be
not extinguish the National Debt? Did he
not recover the Five Millions from France?
Has he not strangled the Monster? Did
he not bring more gold and silver into the
country than alibis predecessors? Aye!
Did the expunging experiment fail ? Not
at all.
It was the Experiments of the Whigs
and Nullifiers that failed. What became of
the experiment to defeat his re-election ?
Failed! What became of Calhoun’s beau
tiful little experiment of Nullification? An
awful failure! What of White’s, Webster’s
and Harrison’s, of getting into the Presi
dential chair? Failures, all!;
The Nullifiers have failed—the Aboli
tionists have failed—the Whigs have failed
—the Anti-Van Burenites have failed—
Biddle has failed—while Andrew Jackson
and his successor have triumphed.
The United Stales Bank was a foul can- I
cer on the breast of lhe Republic—eating j
up its substance and corrupting the whole ■
system. The question presented to Gene- i
ral Jackson was, should lie suffer the can- '
cer to live, until it killed lhe patient? or j
should he kill it, and give the patient a :
chance to live ? He chose the latter; and
though the operation (or experiment) of cut- I
; ting it out produced some inconvenience, j
j lhe patient is likely tq recover from its es- .
! feels, without calling iu the aid of any Whig j
steam doctor. I
And now, that ;hc operation is over, the
tumor removed, atu) the wound nearly well,
who will say that the patj.epl is not better ?
No one—except the doctors wliq advised a
different course, and (lie vermin wiio jdrew
llteir support frotp the sore!
The opposition, ;n their untiring zeal to
i abuse the .late or present administrations,
i are guilty of such strange incongruities,

menls, that, had they any character to lose,
it would long ago have been suspended.
At one moment, they speak of Andrew.
Jackson as an imbecile old man—a tool of
wiser heads—mere clay in the hands of the.
potter ! &.c. In the next breath, they charge .
him with being the author of all lite great-,
national measures—the originator of the
Experiment, the Dictator, Whose merest ?
nod is implicitly obeyed, &■<.•*-
Mr. Van Buren is accused in one breath
I being’ lhe humble imitator of President,
Jackson—the mere dupe of the old hero tv
and in the next, they call him a Magician,
a Necromancer, a wire-worker, arid assert
that Jackson was but his catspavv, &.c. !
Now which postulate will they adhere to?
If either is true, the other must be false.
The probability is, that both art false.——
