This day, with its annual jest, and ;
lighter exciting sport hae again ftp* j
jpe&redj and the merry countenarfees
and joyous caphinationsof poptffa
llation show that its return isiliot unwel
come: while the silly errands upon
which *e of us ha# gone, prove
conclusively, that we do not surpass
our progenitors in wisdom and circum
spection. We have heard many con
jecture# as to the origin of (hie very
singular and extensively prevalent cus
■m.‘ Aw. gnifußtswSu ’
fn Christian countries, would seem to
show plainly enough that we must look
to the Bible for an account of the cir
cumstance upon which thfo ludicrous
custom has been engrafted. And if
our readers will carefully peruse.the
37th chapter of the book of Numbers,
we think their curiosity will be fully
satisfied upon this subject. Our own
xt least has been.
(KrThe Hamburg Journal of the
50;h, in answering our remarks of the
4th, says;—-
Look here, you Pioneer mans We
intend to fight, and if you will pall otF
your coat and wait until we come up
in them diggins, we will show you how
to laugh at us. None of your in?:nu- ;
ations. We have beer* licked, hoaxed j
and lost our time in writing a few lines
about a poor fellow that ain't worth
shucks no how. But we thought that
a benevolent purpose was about to be
performed by us. Our grandmother
ased to tell us, “to keep away from
suc h characters, the more wp done for
them, the lew thanks we would get,
and they at fast would make u believe
that it was our duty to do every thing
for them.” Ahl friend Pioneer, you
should nke warning at our folly.—
These old women don’t set in the cor
ner and smoke their pipes for nothing.
There is a mighty truth hr
their sayings and doings. Stick to
your giand mamma, and you will be
sate- Mind how you cut your eye
teeth.
Verily, verily, friend Yarborough, thoa
wnxeth warm, hut come ahead, and if Wo
don't fight you- ourselves, we will hire
somebody to fight for us; We were not
casting insinuations at you, but were onj
]y trying to make you remember the old’
adage of “look before you leap.” We
do not pretend to deny but what you
thought that a benevolent purpose was
about being performed by you, but you
should not have made such an egregrious
mistake about the letter, as to state that it
was w ritten by our P. M. when iff was
signed by another person. Ak! frismi
Journal you should uol take on so.—■
When you corns up into these diggins to

Tlic Inaugural. ; ,
We this week conclude (he publica
tion of this piece of bombast. W£
’ leave it without comment to the judg
ment of our readers*. It is iauded-CX
ceedirigly, by some of the devoted par-”
lisa ns of its author, which is no more
than was expected. We copy softie
brief remarks in relation to the inauga-,
nil, from two whig papers, the New
York Herald and Boston Courier,
which were both staunch supporters of
Harrison. The Courier says:
w lVe should have been better pleas
ed with iho address, if the President
had omitted all, —yes all, —ihrtt he has
introduced about Greece and Rome,
arid Switzerland, and all other ancient
or modern governments and Countries,
except oUr own. There are two col
unrins of this superfluous matter —not.
of U character to arouse opposition or
to encourage prrifeuiice, or to provoke
lidicrjA* ; but, to u|P a common phrase,
! lugged in by the head $/ ehbuldiffyJn
J excessively trail taste—enforcing noth
; ing, illustrating nothing, proving noth
ing. Asa literary composition, we
j confess wu are sadly disappointed in
the address. It is no better thfirt flMfre
other public documents, with wWfch
our whig critics have made themselves
’ merry* If he had said nothing U aft what
was pevthtettt to the occashui, without
at tempting,rhetorical flourishes he
would have given a few grains of
wheat without these five bushels of
chaff. But, after ijili, as there are
some hungry enough to feed on chaff,
it was perhaps a privident disposition
in the old General that induced him
so futniish so liberal a supply of this
-e^rAiwjn 1 *<wrmiu w, j ", “ioi ■ mi*
with the srnair quantify of wheat.”
The Herald says:
The address is one of the most une
venly composed & written documents
that ever came from (he brain or pen
of a public functionary. Parts of it
are most trashy. The best parts of it
contains some of the soundest and
purest doctrines that were ever con
ceived; but they are very, very ltrd
to live up to. Many other parts are
unworthy the tyi e ai eoHege or his
first attempt at composition.
Every definite statement in the ad
dress might have been given in one
| fourth tbe space which the message
| occupies. There are too many words;
it deals too much m> generalities.
There is too much said about nothing.
The remarks about one teim were ail
unnecessary, that point was in the con.
! tract; those relative to the interfer
! ence of cilice holders in elections are
just,and ju6t what they should be.
But in relation to the veto and execu
tive power there is too much twattle;
all the points could have been given in
adozen lines.
The nonsense about “an exclusive
metallic currency,’ is a crotchet of his
own bruin a sort of shuttlecock which
he stuck up and knocked down for
amusement three times rn one para
graph. The remark* about the Dis
trict of Columbia are miserably writ
ten; the sentences are involved, com- j
plicated and tortuous, they way bt
constructed to mean any thing or i
■ nothing. The balderda&b about Oliver
| Cromwell, Ca?sar and Bolivar, will

Ino one. lie does not understand the
! character of e4bVr
Theclurns) allusions of Greece and
i Rome, repealed again and again,may
|be thought classic by some,but it will
be difficult to prove them so,-
’ As to the statement about no repub
• lie ever merging into aristocracy,Gen.
//urrhon ought to have read the histo- j
ry of Venice, and one or two republics
we could name, before he made the
sweeping assertion we find in his roes
sage.
The miie* able manner in which the
subject ol abolition, and especially the
subject of our foreign relations are
slurred over r i* sufficient to stamp tbe
mauguml with reproach from all.

I TEMPERAMENT.
i The Editor of the Geoigia Jeffer
sonian, in a vein of blended tiuth and
good hutnor, says—
“in regard to the difficulties which
have Artely sprung up, between Great
Britain and the United States,there
appears to be two *trong parties in
this country, not altogether dofvned by
the eardhmf demarcation, Whrgor
Democrat,Hot rather by the prenoiogi

| FEDER.UrOUTrUGE.’
The prtw-tedingu of the Senate of
the United States, in relation to the
Printer of that body, is one of the most
high handed proceedings to be found
upon the legislative records of the
United States, and if it is to be taken
as a specimen of the measures of the
present Htiministration,the people can
not begin too soon, the work of a re
, formation which elmll bring back the
’ government to a senie of common jus
tice, and the obligations ol the Solemn
contracts.
It is matter of record and of public
notoriety, that a Printer to the Senate
had been duly elected, according to
the usages of that body; had entered
into bond and security for the faithful
discharge of his duty; had provided
materials at a heavy expense, and had
actually entered upon the discharge
of his official functions —-but he Was a
democrat, arid no sodoer was the new
Senate organized* with a maj >rity of
federalists,than a motion was made,
and ultimately carried; to dismiss him
hom his office, to make way for one of
their own clique* The contract be-,
tweefi him and the government wa3
set aside, without giving him an op
portunity to be heard, and an order
passed to return him his bond.
Our notions of law; have led Us to
the conclulion* that as it requires at;
least two parties ttf make a contract,
it also requires the same number to
rescind one, but the conduct of the,
Senate assumes the doctrine, that one j
of the parties can set it aside* without;
eves consulting the othfer.
If this principle is established, and
followed .is a precedent, the constitu
tion no longer affords a gate-guard for
the rights ofthe people, nor the slight
est protection against injustice and
violence;
VVe have beard much about Harri
son and Reform, but were not prepar
ed to expect it come in the form of
flagrant outrage, and glaring usurpa
tion. That the couise and tendency
of General i/irriSon’s administration
would ultimately lead to federalism,
we never doubted, but we did not ex
pect it to commence with the palpable
violation of solemn Contracts, and
private rights—but we haVe been
greatly mistaken.

tion to this outrageous assumption) of
