I will throw myself into the breach between lite Not tit
ami endeavor to disturb tho steady equanimity of the Magicmn, and
seek the reparation which I must sustain by the Abolitionist Harrison
in the North.” Thus reasoned the ambitious Clay, and immediately
sot himself on the new scent, flattered with the prospect which he
thought or seemed to see in the distance. But the motive is so pal
pable that the merest understanding cannot be at any los s j n account
ing for it. The South understands it—the North understands it. It
is read like steelyards, and with an accuracy not less easy and exact.
Who will place confidence in him! Will the South, when not mote
than a vear ago he sided in favor of the Northern fanatics against her?
Will the Abolitionists of the North, now that he has attacked and de
molished their castles of fanaticism and niggerologi? It appears
to us not. The confidence of the one is destroyed with that of the
othci; and he now, like an outcast and wanderer, standi friendless
and alone,an object of pity rasher than contempt.
Thus has it ever been with the political career of this man. A
constant mounting of hobbies, and a constant change from one thing
to another, has been his course in the endeavor to catch the popular
breeze and ride into power. All as yet have proved unavailing,
and it is presumed such course ever must.

“PRINCIPLES—NOT MEN."
The only rational interpretation, according to our weak understanding,
which can be placed upon the above motto, issimply this: that uo free
man should compromit his own principles on account of his partiality
for one, anti his prejudice against another—that be should not, on ac
count of personal regard, entrust those with power who oppose his prin
ciples, or withhold his support from those who advocate and maintain
them, from motives of personal dislike.
Principles and men are both indispeusable to the accomplishment of
every object within the scope of human effort, because the soundest and 1
the purest principles, without the ageucyof man. are as utterly useless as '
the marble w hich sleeps in the quarry. To make thorn, therefore, avail
able for good to mankind, there must be men to enforce and carry them
out. What benefit would have resulted from the doctiinesofChrisiiau
ity.had there been none to proclaim them to the world ? Or who so stu
pid as to believe that the republican principles of our revolutionary fa
thers would have achieved American Independence without the appli
cation of physical force to maintain them ?
We must have agents to t epresent our principles—men like ourselves,
and the highest duty tu ourselves as well as our country, is to select those
who thiuk and act according to our conscientious opinions; and the man
who acts otherwise, voluntarily surrenders his own free agency, and be
comes a mere automaton in the hands of another.
We have heard so much about principle for the last seven years, nnd
so much about patriotism withal, that we are not sorry that an occa
sion will not long hence be afforded fortesting those professions; a trial
in which, if wc mistake not, many w ill be severely tasked in deciding
between a political associate opposed to them in principle, and a political
adversary who holds the very doctrines they profess, but against w hom
they are arrayed on account of personal hatred.
The contest between Messrs. Van Buren and Clay will furnish an op
portunity to the party bearing the name of ‘State Rights.” to convince
thecountry of their devotion to the principles which they have so often
pmlaiined—whether they are “ready to perish in the last ditch” for the
Constitution and the sovereignty of the Slates.
According to the creed of that party, no man in the Union has fought
against their principles with more talents or determined resolution thau
Mr. Clay. He is the great antagonist of almost every thing which they
bold sacred in the Constitution.
What occasioned the great excitement in South Carolina, Georgia,
■nd elsewhere in the Southern States, from 1831 until it was to some
extent allayed by the Compromise Act of 1833, hut the tariff ? Who was
the champion of that onerous and unconstitutional measure ? Henry
Clay of Kentucky. Why did he vote for the compromise? Why ho
hns voluntarily disclosed the reason—And what was it? Not because he
favored a reduction of thetariff, but from the very humane motive of
saving the necks of this same party from the halter. .After an insult so
uncalled for. can they support him, apart even from his principles?
They advocate a rigid construction of the Constitution, while he con
tends for the exercise of every pow er which Congress may choose to as
sume under the expansive term of the “ general welfare ” Can they
support him. without a total abandonment of their own principles ? We
cannot yet believe, that as a party, they will; but what will they do?
That is a question which wc cannot so readily solve. They may take |
up some third man upon whom to cast their votes, ami what may be the I
consequence of such a course ? Is it believed practicable to elect a third
candidate in the present state of parties? No. Martin Yau Buren or
Henry Clay will be elected if they live to the end of the contest, and if 1
this party should succeed in casting the vote of Georgia to a third name,
and the same thing should happen in one or two other States, the result !
would in all probability be. to defeat an election by the people, and to
carry it into the House of Representatives, where Mr. Clay’s success
would be rendered almost certain by the combination of interest, and the
vast mens which would be put in requisition to ensure it. The United
•States Bank, with its men and money will be there. The friends of a 1
high protective tariff, with all their strength, will bo there. The advo- I
cates of a splendid scheme of internal improvement will be there, with
all their forces, and the abolitionists will also be there, to hack Mr. Clay
■gainst Mr. Van Buren, with the whole host of Federalism from every
quarter of the Union. With a force so formidable—with means so tie
aeudous, wielded by those whose fundamental rule of morality is, that
“the eud justifies the means,” who that reveres the Constitution and the
rights of the States can contemplate tli>sceiie without emotions of hor
ror and dismay ? And So this direful catastrophe it must come unless
Kt Me Rights men every where, forgetting personal animosity and minor
differences of opinion, untie bear! and band in one mighty struggle for
the salvation of their jirtnciplcs.
It may be said that we are picmature in speaking so often upon this
subject, but we feel that we are discharging one of our highest duties to
thecountry. Ina contest for the most elevated and important olficc in
the gift of this “great and growing republic,” the people should know
the men who a-k their suffrages, and shiftfid he duly advertised of the
principles of the onteaJing candidates, that they may try them hy the
true standard, and be ready to give their preference to him who is most
likely to walk in the footsteps of their republican fathers.
W e shell not sleep upon our post —we will not fold our arms or seal
our lips when danger approximates and stares us in the face; nor quiet
ly witness tbC overthrow of all that is worth preserving to the people
and the States.
If Mr. Clay is elected, the Constitution II virtually repeated, Ileoncc
in a tirade against a former Administration, spoke of “ terr. pestilence
xind famine,” but teriihle as would be their effects, we should esteem
Ahem light in comparison with the loss of our liberties.—Jf it should be
our lot to encounter the perils of war, we have strength and courage to
meet it—ls pestilence and famine must conic, let us summon all
our fortitude mid philosophy, and arm ourselves with resignation to the
n *ll of an overruling providence ; l»ut neither fortitude nor philosophy
can rec. mile a patriot to the prostration of h’s dearest rights, while he
has a heart to beat or an arm to strike—and so help us God, if the al
ternative was presented, we would cheerfully hazard this awful cata
ogue of calamities, sooner than witness hiselevati< n to the Preaidency,
with the print iplcs he maintains , and those who shall directly or indi
rectly aid in consummating an event so portentous of evil, will incur an
nwful responsibility.
“TO THE VICTORS, BELONG THE SPOILS.”
Illis expression has been so lor.g bandied by the Opposition to the
f e ent At.miidstratiou, that it has become a stale commodity; and un
* "J" 1 " *’/ in Georgia,we cannot conceive the object of
< « ng party in using it. unless it is to subject themselves to all the
ure mte ided to be cast upon their political opponents by the applica
nt' of the terra. 1
Who now enjoys the spoil, of the victory which they won in the Inst
flection for Governor? and in what instance has the present incumbent
departed from the motto, that “to the victors, belong the spoil.”?—
Among the numerous appointm ents within the gift of the Executive,
we ask-tho whig press to inform us what party has enjoyed the “spoils”?
M a l„t of appointment, be exhibited, with th- party to which each
belongs, mid our life on it, that it establishes the fact, beyond all contio'
versy, ns the whig practice in Georgia, to distribute the “spoils" among
the victors ; that is to say, if their definition of 'spoils'' means the honors
and ninoluiiicwts of office. Indeed, so far from leaving a doubt upon the
subject, tin- Governor, in his Inaugural Address, gave all parties distinct
ly to understand that he should net upon that principle, and faithfully
mid truly has he redeemed his pledge. Have wc complained of it ? No -
We have not uttered a murmur, and why ? Because it has been the
practice of all parties to pursue a similar course, with very few excep
tions, mid one which we should certainly adopt in similar circumstances,
for the very plain reason that no rational man would employ agents to
carry out his principles, who were diametrically opposed to them.
Looking beyond our own State, mid what lias been the whig policy
in tins regard ! la every quarter where they are in power, they have
swept every thing by the board. In Maryland. New-York, New-Jersey.
Connecticut, Rhode-lsland, Massachusetts, Vermont, Kentucky, mid
several other States, there is scarcely a democrat in any office within
the gift of the Executive and Legislative Departments of their Govern
ments. These facts me true beyond all controversy, and afford proof
ns clear ns noonday, that no patty in this country has ever seized upon
the “sp ils” with more avidity than the Whigs, wherever they have
been “ the victors.’’
“People who live in glass houses should not throw stones,” and be
fore the whig* attempt to “cast the mote out of our eyes, let them first
cast the beam out of their own.”
A party must ho exceedingly bard run when ’hey resort to charges
ngnitist their adversaries, which apply with equal force to themselves;
and such is precisely their position upon the question of the "spoils
ami were we called on for the reason why the clamor is still kept up on
their part, we should answer that there are yet some officers in the Fe
deral and Slate Governments in the hands of the Democruts, for which
the Whigs still hunger ami thirst, ami which, if they could appropriate to
themselves, would at once put to silence all their weeping and wailing
over the “spoils of victory.”
MR. PRESTON AND STATE RIGHTS.
Wecopy the following ftom the New-Hampshire Patriot:—
“EDITOR S LORRESPONDENCE.
"Washington, March 2, 1839.
Dear Sir—The border difficulties in Maine have, during the last two
or three days, elecited a very animated debate in both Houses of Con
gress, which shows conclusively where we may expect to find a great
majority of the opposition in case of another war with Great Britain. I
heard Mr. Preston, last night, in the Senate, and his speech would have
done credit to Josiah Quincy or Timothy Pickering previous to the last
war. 1 wish that every man in New-Hampshire and Maine could have
heard him. He boldly took the old Federal ground, the ground they al
ways take in limes of trouble with foreign powers, that England was
perfectly right and Maine entirely wrong. He said that Maine had no
tight wha ever to icpl the British from the disputed territoiy—that the
British laying claim to it, Maine could not resist, for that was makin"
war, which a Stnle had no right to do. He said, if the British were to
invade a part of Maine, without rlatming a right to it, Maine would
doubtless have a right to resist, but if she was only taking possession of
what she claim d to be her own, Maine had no right to repel the invasion.
He said that in the present case. Maine had no more right to drive them
off", and take possession herself, than she had to march to Fredericktou
and take possession nt that. These were his very words.”
If such are the sentiments tittered by M-. Preston, it appears to us,
that his State Right priucip'es must have undergone a radical change.
That a sovereign State has no right to repel invasions of her own ter
ritory, by a foreign power, merely because a claim is set up to such ter
ritnry by the invading power, is an item in the State Rights creed which
has entirely escaped our observation. Suppose England, or any other
foreign nation should land a forte in Charleston, and set up a claim to
to the whole district, would not South Carolina “ resist,” and make
"war” to boot ?
We dare say, if the principle was settled as laid down by Mr Preston,
it would not he twelve mouths before England would lay claim to every
State in the Un'on.

Corrcspomlence of the Argus.
Mr. Editor, — In all ages the man who has been possessed of mor
al courage enough, to form coolly and deliberately correct opinions,
in either morals, politics or religion, and fearlessly avow and publish
them to the world, has rarely if ever failed to reap the rewotd so just
ly due to such an orthodox course.
7 he dispassionate manner .n which you through your Journal for
the last six monih;4bave viewed and discussed the prominent politic
al measures of the day, cannot but entitle and secure to you, the gra
titude and esteem of every true lover of his country.
These remarks ate made because of the independent and fearless
way in which you have invariably lashed all the bare petty political
intrigues of the day, that have for their object the aggrandizement of
the few, and under the solemn mockery of the law, by the imper
ceptible yet certain destruction of the rights of the many ! No mat
ter w hat seductive arts their projectors may have used. No matter
by what patriotic and republican names their vile schemes may have
been christened, you have as constantly met, and exposed their hide
ous deformity.
It frequently happens in all countries, where there are great polit
ical parties, and whole the people have a large voice in controlling
the action of the government, that some astute, but venakpolitician
becomes a leader, and that the parties as frequently feel constrained,
for the mere purpose of apparent success, and always at the expense
of the total overthrow of its measures and principles to swerve from
the straight line of duty, and yield a support to such a leader, not
withstanding, that it is certain his political doctrines are at war with
• heir own—this is not as it should be. And all honest politicians
ought and will, support their principles and measures without regard
to men.
7 he State Rights party in Georgia, as remarked in your last paper,
have been, and are now, in great danger of taking such a course in
the next President! il election. All Mr. < 'lay’s excellences and line
qualities, and a great many that he never did add never will possess,
have been simultaneously, by some of the State Rights papers in this
State, in very sugared phrases, spread out before the people. From
the manner in which this has been done, two very different things are
apparent:—First, that the conductors of these presses are well aware
that the State Rights parly and their Republican principles, arc, and
of necessity must be, oppose ! to Mr. Clay and all bis latitudinarian
Federal ooctrines; and, secondly, that there Ts no way to cheat or
drive the party into his support, but by some such political manoeuvre;
and the true doctrines of the Slate Rights party have been the main
stay and prop of this republic for the last half century.
Let me ask you. sir. when the great American System was fastened
upon the country. grinding the southern planter to t to dust, whose prin
ciples brought us relief and saved the country ? The principles of. the
State Rights party. Who was the boasted fatbet of that system, nmi
laughed at out calamities? Who co-operated wiffi “Daniel the godlike”
to rob and plunder tts of our labor under the sanction of law for the pur
pose of enriching their own decent, intelligent and enterprising constitu
ents? Who made, for and in consideration cf a pitiful secretaryship,
(that being then in the line of safe precedents.) the worst Federalist and
the most contemptible Abolitionist in the United States its President, in
direct opposition to the express will of a large majority of the people,
who have eutei tainerl different opinions on the same subject, and avowed
them whenever it was thought nosl conducive to his election as Presi
dent ? Who has linked his political fortunes with a charter of a Bank of
the United States ? Who has given, with all his power and ingenuity,
a latitudinal iati construction to every clause of the Constitution, and has
labored incessantly to make it a flexible instrument in the hands of Con
gress worse even titan a "tope ofsatid” ? And above all, who has. for
the last fifteen years, used tiny and every' means to centre all political
power in Congress, and thereby convert this republic into a snletnlid
consolidated governmeiit? Need it be answered. Mr. Clay? The o!<l
Republican criteiion. by which the people were wont to test a politi
cian s claims to their favor, consisted of two plain interrogatories—ls
h” hi nl’-.t ? Il yea. is he capable ? Nowifthe last could be answered
with truth in the affirmative, as well as the first, it behooved the people
then to ascertain the political doctrines he espoused ; and if they wore or
thodox, then, and m t before, was the candidate entitled to the support of
an eidightetied an I free people. It i< highly important that the State
Rights party should try Mr. Clay by some such test. I am utterly ala
loss to discover any one important ami vital principle that he honestly
holds in connection with that party. His immediate friends claim for
him a great deal on lite score oI his tact at a compromise. Yes, when
the agricultural interests of the Month demanded and extorted sheer jus
tice from Congress, relative to the R’ariir, Mr Clay must be lauded as
having saved the country. But it mu-t lie recollected that he marie no
tnove in this matter until, as a matter of policy, he was forced to make
a virtue ol necessity. But we hare always viewed this business of com
promise in a very different light from many others, and it is this: If a
man is lion st, sincere ami conscientious in his advocacy of any partic
ular class of political doctrines, we hold that it is a species of treason to
those who have intrusted him with their rlefeiico to make any comprom
ise whereby such doeti incs cminot bo as effectually carried out as they
otherwise might have been. And farthvi, thatnopaity aftei warrls can
have any safe guaranty that he will not, on very next emergency,
convey away, byway of compromise, the dearext of its political rights
Then what can the State Rights parly, as a party, promise itself by the
support and the election of Mr. Clay ? Ils principles tire too pure and
too well founded in truth ami the Constitution to derive or require tiny
salutary aid from him. Neither can it be necessary for us to hoist his
bannerin order to rally and unite us at home. Wc have been steadfast
in our attachment to a strict construction of the (.’oiistitution from 1825
i down to the present, and so shall we remain so long as a love of liberty
, and a reverence for truth have a place in the hearts of mankind.

LATEST FROM MAINE.
1 ho accounts from Maine contain a distinct and positive denial of the
statement that the British had taken possession of Mars Hill. 'The con

9th :
“Sir John Caldwell, from the Province of New Brunswick, arrived

I he following lettcris from a source which leaves no doubt of the ac
curacy of its statements. Whether Mr. Hamblin is collect, is another
question.
Extract from a letter, dated
Boston, I2th March, 1839
A letter has been received here from Mr. Hamblin, formerly land
agent of Maine, but now aiil to Gen. Hodsdon. dated at the seat of war,
which says, “a proposal is about to bo made to the .Stale of Maine by
Sir John Harvey, which is this : that the British Government will give
Maine the right of navigating the river St. Johns, ami other equivalents,
for the land which li s north of the St. Johns to the highlands.” which
you know is according to the King of Holland's line. Intelligent gen
tlemen here, think Maine will accept this proposal at mice, should it bo
made. Massachusetts and Maine have both been engaged for many
years in endeavoring to secure the right of navigating the St. Johns,
and desire it upon the condition of giving up this tract. It is also stated
in the letter, that Sir John told Mr. Lombard, of Bangor, that he had
been too hasty in his proclamation, and used language which was too
strong, and that he felt sorry for it. and would as soon as pos-ible. send
a committee of the Assembly to make the above mentioned proposals to
Maine. 7’he letter from Hamblin hns been communicated, ns I under
stand, to Governor Everett.”
Ou Tuesday the following resolves were adopted almost unanimously
in the House of Representatives of Massachusetts. Their temperate but
firm proceedings contrast most favorably with the violent and madenp
conduct of the Nova Scotia Assembly, with its honorable Mr. Dodd,
and its gallery cheers for the “ Queen and New Brunswick.”
RESOLVES CONCERNING THE NORTHEASTERN BOUN
DARY.
Resolved, That the state ofaffairsin relation to the Northeastern boun
daiy, furnishes a strong reason for again asserting our rights, and for re
affirming the positions heretofore assumed by the Legislature of this State
against the unwarrantable claims of Great Britain, ami in favor of strong
and vigorous measures by the Government of the United States, fora
speedy adjustment of the existing difficulties in such a manner as shall
protect Massachusetts and Maine io the possession of ifie tract of territo
ry guarantied to them by the treaty of peace of 178'?.
Resolv d, 7’hnt the active measures authoiized by a resolve of the Le
gislature of the State of Maine, passed January 25tb, 1839, for the pre
vention of depredations upon the land of Massachusetts and Maine,
were required by the exigencies of the case and a wise regard for the pre
servation of their interests in those lands, and were similar in character
to measures adopted by the land agents of Massachusetts and Maine in
October last, and recognised and approved, through their agents, hy the
Government of the Province of New Brunsw ck.
Resolved, 7’hat the claim of Great Britain to the exclusive possession
and jurisdiction ot the whole of the disputed territory, as recently asserted
by the Goveriioi of New Brunswick, and his avowal of the determina
tion to sustain that claim by a military force, and his denial of the right
of the State ofMaine to protect from the law less depredations of tres
passers tke lands w hich ha ve long been in the actiral possess! >n of Mas
sachusetts and Maine, call loudly for the immediate interference of the
Federal Government ; ami that the honor of’.he nation has demanded
the adoption of decisive measures for the protection of the citizens and
the preservation of the rights and interests of tw o of the members of our
Confederacy.
Resolved, That this Commonwealth will co-operate with the State of
Maine in all necessary and constitutional measures for the preservation
of the interests of both States in the lands in the disputed territory, and
for the speedv adjustment of the existing controversy.
Resolved 7’hat his Excellency the Governor be requested to transmit
a copy of these resolutions to the Executive of the United States and of
the State of Maine, to the Executives of the several States of the Uuion,
aud to each of our Senators and Representatives in Congress.
NORTHEASTERN BOUNDARY.
We have been permitted to publish tne following note from Major
General Sir John Harvey to Governor Fairfield, in which the readiness
of the former to give effect to the informal agreement entered into be
tween Mr. Fox and Mr. Forsyth is distinctly avowed, and in a commend
able spirit:
“Government House. ?
Frederickton, N. B. March 7, 1839. j
“Major General Sir John Harvey presents his compliments to Gover
nor Fairfield and with reference to-a communication which he has just
received from her Majesty’s Minister at Washington, transmitting a
‘ memorandum’under the joint signatures of Mr. Forsyth, Secretary of
."late, and Mr. Fox, containing terms of accommodation, recommended
by the Secretary ofState and her Majesty's Minister Plenipotentiary, to
Governor Fanhepl and himself respectively, begs to say. that he will he
happy to enter into such amicable communication with Governor Fair
field upon the subject, as may’ conduce to the attainment of the very de
sirable and important object thereby proposed to he effected.
“Sir John Harvey has answered Mr. Fox’s communication by ex
pressing his entire readiness to give effect to the proposed agreement so
far as may he dependant upon him.
“His Excellency, Gov. Fairfield,” &c.
No decision upon the subject of this note by the authorities of the State
of Maine had been made when the last advices of the Government left
Augusta. We entertein the most confident hope, however, that the
amicable dispositions of Sir Joint Harvey will be cordially reciprocated
by them, and that w hatever difficulties may arise in the arrangement of
the details lor the exorcise of a necessary police over the disputed terri
tory. they will be made to yield to a mutual spirit of forbearance, aud a
desiie to maintain the peaceful relations of the two countries. [Globe.

A message from Governor Fairfield was communicated to the Legis

Mr F orsyth.—7’he following letter from the correspondent of the Bos

12 o’clock. M Tuesday, March 12. $
A message front the Governor in relation to the Memorandum of Mr.
Forsyth nnd Mr. Fox. The Governor considers the arrangement un
satisfactory and unequal, aud advises that the military force of the State
should not bo withdrawn unless the Lt. Governor of New-Bi unswick
shall withdraw his force and the Government of Maine be satisfied that
he entirely abandons the idea of expelling its forces. Gov. Fairfield also
resists the recommendation to allow Gov. Harvey concurrent jurisdic
tion in measures of protection to the property on the Aroostook, and
advises that in case Sir John abandons his position and withdraws his
military force, that the military force of Maine shall also be withdrawn,
and a sufficient armed or unarmed civil posse be left on the Aroostook
for its protection.
In a postscript to the Message the Governor says thathe hns received
a note of a pacific character from Sir John Harvey, in which he inti
mates bis willingness to enter into arrangements upon the basis of the
Memorandum ol Mr. Forsyth and Mr. Fox. The Message and Sir John
Harvey’s n ite ha vc been committed to the Committee on the N. E.

Mr. hidden, of Calais, has just laid upon the table two resolves, the

IMPORTANT FROM TAMPICO.
A letter has been r-ceived in th s city by the Cora, from Tampico,
containing advices of interest respecting late political movements and
events in Mexico. The gentleman hom it was written, been so
obliging as to furnish us w ith a summary of the leading items. I'he
dale ol tile letter was the 27th of February, at Tampico.
General Mexia was at 7’usp in, with one thousand good troops full of
enthusiasm. General Cos was at Papatlau, marching against General
Mexia w ith 900 men, mostly taw recruits, of whom iriany<ser -deserting
to the side of the Federalists. In ati engagement w ith the Cent! alists,
General Urrea had received a trifling check, caused by the impiudence
of one of his lieutenants. But an express had arrived at Tampico,
bringing tidings that General Urrea had the next day fought a pitched
battle with the army of the Government, in w hich the latter were de
feated with heavy loss. Their Commander in-chief, General Romero,
was cmried from the field mortally wounded. The broken regiments
retreated in disorder upon San Louis de Potosi.
Colonel Parara. with a strong rciufOi'cemcnt, was to leave Tampico

MR. CRITTENDEN'S Bit L—THE NEW ALIEN AND SEDI
TION MOVEMENT!
Surely we have fallen on evil tinics. Who could believe it possible, if
they did uot see it, that so monstrons n scheme as tiio virtual disfianchise
ment of a portion of tho citizens of this Confederacy, could bo seriously
proposed and advocated in tho Senate of the United States, under the
pretence of preventing their interference, as office holders, in elections?
'J’hat their rights, as citizens, and influence, as officers, are sometimes
abused, we have uo rloirbt; but is such abuse any argument against the
use of them ? What honorable man would hold office at the open sac
rifice ofliis rights as a citi/.i u attr! a freeman —the liberty of speech, nnd
of honorably advocating the principles under which he came into office?
And would not tho natural and necessary consequence be to degrade
the offices and honors of the Confederacy, and give n monopoly of them
to the mestsclfisb, dishonorable, and vile? For ottrowtr pan,wo have
not words to express our abhorrence and disgust ofsircha measure—our
timazement. that it could be seriously preposed,nndopenly advocated—
advocated, too, by a representative of our own galltint Htale. and getter
ous, free hearted, high spirited people- Surely, surely, wo have fallen
oil evil times !
Wc are much grtitifi.-d that Mr. Calhoun has spoken ngaiiisl this
nboininablo tint! disgraceful thcastiro. His speech is mentioned in ell
tlitisiastic terms, am! we look for it with great interest. 7'he senior ed
itor of the “(Jld Doniiniou” writes of it, from Washington, as follows—•
“It being understood that Mr. C.dlloitn was to speak this morning tip
on the old alien and sediiion law revived, lately introduced by Mr. Crit
tenden, with additions and amendments, the avenue at every early hour
exhibited tin array of beauty that made the solitary hearts of bachelors,
like inysclf, palpitate with accelerated vigor. 7'he speech was one of
the greatest and happiest effort- which that great iitan lias ever made,
ft w ill become a sort of text book for statesmen, containing as it docs
the quintessence of practical political philosophy ami truth. No wotds
of mine can do it justice; wjieti it is published our readers shall judge of
it for themselves. He has added another claim to the impcrisliable grat
itude of the American people, for this renewed effort in bidialf of the
Rights of Man. Again I have to repeat, what I have so often said; he
stands before the world tho Colossus of tho times—immeasurably stipe
riorto atty living American Statesman. His name will live in letters of
living light, until time shall be no more.” •
“Dr Niles, of Connecticut, boasted the other day, in the Senate, thrt,
he “was a fit representative of, ami would at this moment prove satis
factory to, the honest Nullifiers of South-Carolina.”
“ What thought Mr. Calhoun—what will tho good people of that S’nto
think, of such a compliment from such a quarter? A Hartford veudet
of tin wares, a lit colleague of John C. Cidhouti! ami a worthy repre
sentative of the chivalrous people of tho I’almctto State!! How has
the mighty fallen, in feeling, as in public estimation, if tho idea does not
revolt. [Richmond Whig.
An I pray what is there to ‘revolt' at ? Is it at zll mean, dishonora
ble, or reprehensible, to rise from an humble, to an exalted station, or
to respect, admire, or associate with those who do so? Is it inconsia- |
lent with the genius of our republican institutions, or the character of our
people? We know it has hern openly held and promulgated, iu the
party with which the Whig is now associated, that persons of humble
birth ami occupation, are naturally inferio •, and unfitted for high station*
One of tbi leadeis of that party, Mr. Adams, said—”7'he people of all
nations are naturally divided into two sorts—the gentlemen «nd the sim
ple meu—the latter signifying the common people, such a* farmers, me
chanics, and laborers; and tbe former, the rich pertimi, and those born
of more noted families,”—and “tho distinctions of poor ami rich are as
necessary, in states of considerable extent, as labor ami good govern
ment.” And another. Alexander Hamilton, that ‘-All political commu
nities ought to be divided into the feto and ihewany; the first are the
rich aud the well born ; the other, the mMsoftbe people.”—Such semis
inents as these, were common in that purty. in its days of pride and tri
umph ; and though rebuked and silenced by lh» yeoplc, we have uo evi
dence that they have been discarded ; but it was hardly to be expected
that any press of that party, at this day, would openly avow or attempt
to revive ihem ; for, where is the difference between them, aud those
expressed above, by the Richmond Whig?
“A Hartford vender of tin wares, a fit colleague of John C. Calhoun!
and a wotthy representative of the chivalrous people es the Falmetto
Stute!” Certainly; why not. if an honest, honorable, ami intelligent
man. agreeing with them in principle? ami the Whig urges nothing iu
disproof of such being the ease w ith Dr. Niles.
Does the Whig mean that there is anything naturally and uocessarily
dishonorable, disgraceful, and disqualifying, in the occupation of a “ven
der of tin wares,” that should exclude ail who act, or may nt tluy lime
have acted iu it. fr.nn the Senate of the United States, or from being a
“ colleague of Mr. Calhoun,” or “ a representative of the people?" It
would seem so; or. if not, its meaning is wholly anintelligible to us.—
Will it explaiq ? As it appears to take the Nullifiers of this State under
its own especial case and keeping, it is desiraliio to them to andarstand it.
Does it desire io instil the old monarchal doctrines of Federalism int»
the people, while its party representatives iu Congress, are preparing
for them another Alien and Sedition Law, iu the shape of “Mr. Critten
den’s bill? •
For out own part, we believe, as we trust do “Mr. Calhoun” and “the
chivalrous people of the Palmetto State,” that Dr. Niles’s former occu
pation, so far from being a disgrace to him, or in any way disqualifying
as “a colleague,” or “a represntalive,” is an honor- ■ mark of decided
worth and substantial merit —showing thathis pr sent elevated station is
the result, not of accident, bat of peculiar and praiseworthy exertion, per
severance, and honorable ambition, admirably suited to the character of
ou;- people and their representatives—and that
“ Honor and shame from no condition rise—
Act well your part—there all the honor lies.”

THE VIRGINIA ELECTIONS.
The Richmond Enquirer has the following:
The Baltimore Chronicle calculates upon a general union of the
Whigs and Conservatives “ against the Sub Treasury scheme and in
favor of Mr. Rives.” We have higher issues nt stake, than 7’rea
sury or Sub-Treasury—They are. Administration or Opposition?
An Administration Senator or an Opposition Senator? Martin Van
Buren or Henry Clay? The Whigs must not expect to practice this
game upon us, of dividing us on a comparatively inferior issue—but
we go for those questions on which the friends of the Administration
rally and unite with all their force. 7’hey will not suffer themselves
to be split up by the tricks of the Whigs. We see their game—hut
in that issue too they will be disappointed. If they take the issue,
Rives or no Rives? they will be vanquished. .No decided friend ol
the Administration will go with the Whigs for Mr. Rives—‘when there
can no longer be a doubt, that Mr. Rives is t ot the decided friend of
the administration. Whatever the few Conservatives Acre may do,
very few in the country will take that course. They will rally around
the Administration and its decided friends; and on that issue we will
carry the day. The Baltimore Ch. onicle, therefore, counts without
its host. This licpeful Coalition between the Whigs and Conserva
tives will be blown sky high—and a majority of the decided friet ds
of the Administration will be returned, with the aid of wise and uni
ted counsels, proper temper and an active spirit.
MR. RIVES.
The same paper says,
We say it with deep regret, that all doubt has vanished with us, and
that we are compelled to rank Mr. Rives with the Opposition. We
have seen several members of Congress just from Washington. They
laugh at the very idea of a doubt. 7’hey affirm* that Mr. Rives is
considered by all at Washington, as tho opponent of Mr. Van Buren.
The policy of tbe Whigs proves wh it is their idea upon the subject.
Is there a friend of Mr. Clay who does not entertain the same im
pression?
A Fascinating Gentleman.—ln Hutton's Auto Biography is the
following filial account of a father’s attractions :
“Though my father was neither young, being forty-two—nor hand
some, having lost an eye—nor sober, for be spent all he could get i« liquor
nor clean, for his trade was oily—nor without shackles, for he tiad five
children, yet women of various descriptions courted his smiles, aud were
much inclined to pull caps for him.”
The following is a dunning advertisement of a butcher at Sackets
Harbor :
“I won't wait. lam about to leave this place—l have giv >n you line
upon tend r line; you have skinned me and reduced tne to a spare rib;
and now if you don’t pay me immediately, I’ll skin you up to a consta
ble with a hook in his hand, at your cost-—A butcher’s word far it.”

’’VL *■ J' t ” ' ,O I'®**ofthc invincible Eclipse,
dam Hcnricrin, by that, fi'st rate of American race hor
ses Timoleon, who is the sire of Boston, the best four mile horse ever
stripped in the United States; grandam by Young Tup, g. g. dam by
Umpire, g. g. g dam by Grey Diomede, alias Medley, g. g. g g dam by
Wildair (Fcnrnnught’*.) Young Tup. his graudmii’* sire, was hy Im*
ported Tup, he by Javelin, out of Flavia—Javelin by O’K< ily's Ecl pse.
Young Tup’s date was by Marsk. he by imported Shark. Betsey Prin
gle by imported Fearneugbt, imported iniireJenny Dismal, got by Old
Dismal; Umpire, his great grandam's sire, was by imported .'hark, dam
by Vernon's Cub, he by old Cob out of a Patriot mare.
Gctiilemen possessing and reading the horse books of this country aud
England, are requested to examine them diligently for themselves ; but
tor tbo-e not having the means of acquiring the same information, I would
beg to be permitted to slate, that a better pedigree cannot exist. It will
be seen from the above, that this plainly places him among tbe best blood
of the day. standing in a direct line of descent sth in degree from th*
great English Eclipse, through the dam of Timoleou. and sixth through
Top frotu the same famous ancestor. And lie stands precisely in the
same degress to the matchless okt imported Shark, through Umpire and
Young 7’up. A<M to these his Medley strains from his g. g. g. g. dam.
aud also through tbe dam of American Eclipse, ami the quantity of pure
and tried blood ib his veins is not easily equalled at this day. If filooif
consist iu near consanguinity to a train of horses most remarkable foi all
the bighand desirable qualities in tbe zoology of horses, a simple lela
tien of facts willcstablish FESTIVAL as equal tot|ly horse of his day.
! And what are the facts? We wilt commence with those nearest home.
He gave the far-famed Ironette the severest race she ever had ; she beat
him by a throat-latch—he carrying five pounds over weight ; the first
and second miles of the last heat being run by them in Im. 525. and Im.
525. He beat with great ease the celebrated Anvil, who has since sold
for $10,000; and distanced Row Galley and Walter Cook in the sa«*
."ace. all four mile beats.
iu >he full of 1834, he won with great case, the Jockey Club purse
| over the (Ga.) race course, against a tine field of rivals;
and at Lexing..?n, in the same State, fertile best three in five, he put all
' his rivals to shame, b’sidcs other races he run with great credit, wli’dt
■ would be too lengthy here for publication. He‘is half brolherto Eclipse
i Lighfoot, who sold for $12,000, aud his half brother Shark more recent
ly for sls 000. and he (Festival) is now he <1 by I is owner at SIO,OOO.
Eclipse, who is the sire of Festival, is the first horse that ever sold for
SIO,OOO in America, and a few years ago, at 20 years old, he again sold l
for about th* same sum. He run milil he was nine years old, all bis
race* four tuiia heats, and was taken off of the turf as sound as a nut.
He was never beaten, and to use the language of one of his stiongest
opponents at the time—he challenged the world, he beat the world, he
won a world of money, and he is a world’s wonder.
Imported Shark, the fifth grand sire of the dam of Festival through
Young Tup and Umpire, was got hy Marsk, the sire of the great Eclipse
in England, and is of course his half brother, and the grand-son of Child
ers. To these two horses he ha* been compared as next, hut by the fair
est reasoning in the world he must be at least their equal; he run more
races, won more money, was only beaten by two horses, and that readily
i accounted for. Derimont. sire of Gabriel, beat him evidently by the dif
ference of weigßt given him for the year. Shark beat him when aged
and both carried the same weight. Pretender, his half brother, beat
him from a slight defect in the heels, a disease very common. A notice
iu the racing calendar for 1797,1 think, says ho won upwards of 22,900
guineas, about SIOO,OOO, nnd it is said by high authority, that 10,000
guineas were offered for him as he left New Market for the last time.
Timoleon, the sire of the dam of Festival, and sire of Boston, wars
said to have had no equal of his day when in condition—he met and
conquered al! the best horses of his day, and is the sire of some of tho
best horses in America nt this time.
If beauty, action, speed, bottom, durability to last upon the turf, anti
longevity, are the grand t/esiderata to breeders, no strain of horses pos
sess it in a more pre-eminent degree ; these are the qualities, this the
blood of Festival, not to be detracted from by a full ami still further ex
tension, too lengthy for publication. 11 is oldest colts are now tbreo
years, aud as promising as the get of any horse upon earth; three of
them »nly yet have been trained, and two out of the three • arc winners
—one against the get of Leviathan. I have a letter now in my possas
sion from oae of tho first men in the State of N. Carolina, in vvhich it is
stated that Red Knight (a son of Festival) bids fair to make a race hotso
of great distinction, besides many others in the same neighborhood, up
on which high calculations are built. He furthei says, indeed no hmsa£
ever had such a strain of colts in this sectio i. Capt. James J. Harrisor
has given it as hi* opinion (and that he is not alone,) that Festival is the
hist son of Eclipse. At the time this opinion was given. Aleduc and
O'Kelly.both sons of Eclipse, had sold for SIO,OOO each, and Shark was
then in the zenith of his fame.
He is now at his harem at Forsyth, Monroe county, Ga. where he will
be let totnares at SSO the season, payable at the expiration thejeof, dis
charged by S4O ii'paid at the time of service—$75insurance. Any gen
tleman putting five mares, shall have the season of one gratis. One
Dollar to his groom for every mare. Great liberality will be exercised
in pulling first mares runners themselves, er mares producing runners
Every preparation has been made for keeping mares, and great care
taken to prevent accidents. Mares left with the horse will be pastured
gratis, and fed with grain at cents per day. The season has already
commenced, aud will expire the last of June. ’
