To be Concluded. TEN UPON ELEVEN. We some time since related a story of jockrttVi/ Frenchman. As an offset, we now give one of a jockyteg' Frenchman. This like the former, turns, upon the sale of a horse, and also, like that, has its scene away South- Mon. Ja' vais the Frenchman, had a steed for sale, which lie recommended as “ouc ver fine hanimalle—one hose elegant extra ordinare.’ “H“tv old do you call him ?’—asked the purchaser. “How old ? said the Frenchman.—‘Vy, sare. he iisnmseu like ten upon eleven.' •Not olderi' ‘No, sa’ir, he is no olduirvat I tell you.’ •On your honor!’ ‘Oui, sare, on me very scarce honor, vat me telly you is the true—lie is no olde as ten upon elven ; Me no clteaty you ayce de a/.ghe de horse. He is no more as vat 1 tell you.’ , The horse was purchased, under the full belief that he was no more than tenor el even years old. But the new owner was a short time afterwards told, by a judge of horse flesh, thnt lie had got monstrously liitlon tty the Krenchimiu ill regard to the asre of the steed, which was at least twice as old as he had purchased him for. Upon this lie went in a great fury to the Frenchman, and exclaimed: “Confound your lying; French tongue; that horse is twice a* old as you said.* ‘Sare,” exclaimed the Jarvais, with well feigned astonishment. ‘Sare you, you lying, smooth tongued scoundrel.’ “Ale he!

We would respectfully call the attention of our neghhorsjheof Standard and Federal Union, to a few remaks iu relation to th ir Magnus Apollo, Mr. Martin Van Bur-n, in reply to which we should like to li»,ii our neighbors at length. To save space audio be compendious, we will throw our remarks into the form of enquiries. Our neighbors have boasted [whether sin cerely or not, they know best of course] of the decided enmity of Mr. Van Bure 11 to every thing connected with abolition. In relation to this matter, we would remark general'y, that it is universally conceded to be a good rule, to jn 'ge men’s professions by their acts; or according to scriptual an nouncement, “by there fruits shall ye know them.” Now let us look at these fruits— in relation to abolition. We pass over for the present, the monstrous abolition assault on th« Missouri Muestion; we will at this time likewise pass ovet the important prin ciple admitted by Mr. Van Boren, in rela tion to the negro right of suffrage; we well in short pass over every tiling at present, but one feature in the case before us. If Mr. Vanßttren is so inimical to the abolitonists, how comes it that he confers upon the * cry champions of abolition, the most profitable and the inost honorable appointments in his gift, as President of the United States? Has he not but a short time since appointed to one of the most lucrative offices iu his gift, a red hot Abolitionists, in the Collector of the pon of Boston ’—By your deeds shall you be judged-—Has he not on a recent oc casion appointed to what is considered one of the most honorable ffices in liis gift, a foreign embassy, an avowed champion, and a public advocate,of Abolition, in the late Mr. I,**gget,of New York ?—Ye shall be judged by your works, and by your fruits shall ye be known. If Mr. Van Burcnis as much opposed to Abolitoirists os hisfiirtid* at the South would represent him to be, all that w e can say is. he hits a most strange aud unusual way of showing it. In reference to another pretension while on the subject of pretensions generally, we have * question to ask. The friends of Air. Var, IGn-cn, point tr him par excellence as the main pillar of I 'emocrac-y. It'cud* tie true, judging by the rule w** have laid down, how t omes it that one of his latest, most honorable and trust worthy appointments, the Re* resentative of the Nation in Holland, has been conferred by Mr. Van Burcn, upon an old and nndeviating federal'sl, a most respectable man by the by, but still utterly opposite to democracy in all its beatings, and ever lias been; one who opposed the war ; who spoke and voted against it in Con gress; one of the most formidable opponents of the administration of Mr. Madison, and who is the putative father of the address of the federal 11 embers of Congress, bitterly denouncing Mr. Madison, and the policy of his administration. By your fruit shall you be known, and if such deeds as these j*rove the democracy of Mr. Van Bitten, then the conclusion is inevitable that dem ocracy amlfedrialism are one and the same; or, ar Jenst, that they are so considered by the Vain Bureti democratic school. YVe should he pleased to have the views of our neighbors of the Standard and Fed eral Union, at large, on these interesting to pic Southern Recorder. From the Buffalo Patriot. How fatal to -very thing like manly inde pendence and moral courage is Van Ru t enisiii ! A few years ago James K. Paul ding, now Secretary of (lie Nkvy, wrote and published a series ot ‘‘Letters from tho South, •in which he exhibited himself a stron" and even bitter abolitionist. In one of the letters he said he “M HT A SL A VE HOLDER WHO HAD THE IMPU DENCE TO LOOK HIM IN THE FACE WITHOUT BLUSHING,” adding that for this, he “should like to have seen the slaveholder HUNTED WITH BLOOD HOUNDS.” An edition of Mr. Paulding’s writings, the “Letters from the South” among them, has been recently published, and the above and similar passages omitted ! He is now Mr. Van JBuren’s Secretary of the Navy, and has become one of the high com missioned leaders of Van Bttrenism. 1 1 is necessary to the success of “the northern candidate with southern principles,” that the Cabinet should appear to be a "unit" on the subject of slavery : and therefore the suppression of the abolitionism which dis tinguished the former edition of Air Secre tary Paulding’s “Letters.” The case of Mr. Paulding is by no means the only one in which the friend* of Mr. Van Buren have been compelled to spike their abolition artillery. There was not a more determined abolitionist in the United State* than the late VYiliiam Ifgcf.it, fo* - some time editor with Mr. Bryant, of the New-York Evening Post. Before Air. Van Buret) had concluded to make himself •‘the northern candidate with southern prin ciples,” and before he had pledged him self to vkto any and every bill for the a bolitiou of slavery in the District ; of Col umbia, Mr. Leggett as editor of the Post. then, as now,a leading Van Buron organ, led tile attacks against slavery and slaveholders, with the fiery impetuosity for which he was ever distinguished. But Mr. Van Buren found that the votes of siave sta'es would be uecessary to his election, and the plan of the campaign was somewhat changed. He took ground against the abolitionists, and his followers were required to conform tlieir nrincip'es and professions to his position. Even the independent and high spirited Legjett, was silenced. His eloquent Phil ippics against slavery and slaveholders no longer thundered through the columns of the Post, and as an atonement to the South, for his past indiscretions , h« was finally com pelled to retire nominally at least, from the eilitoti.il ilcpa tmeot of the paper of which he had been by far the most popular con ductor siiice t'ue <- llnr-,hi.* of Calfuian. On withdrawing his name from the Even- 1 ine. Post. Mr, Leggett established the ••Plaisdealer,” avowedly as an ii depen dent paper, and the abolitiooists looked to find it, a zealous and persevering advocate of their etitct| rise In this they were dis appointed. The Pliiimlealer vindicated the appropriateness ©fits title ou any thing but slavery, and was “iniirpcndi ni” wherever indepei ill nee could i:ot prejudice the suc cess of Mr. Van Boren's * southern priti cip'is” humbug. In short, Mr. Leggett so ordered his political walk and conversa tion as to maintain an unqualified allegiance t«* Air. Van Buren as well alter avowing his soutl cm puni iples on iLesuhject 4 of s'ave ry. as before. The lionot sos a foieign mission were the reward ofhis fidelity ; and political op ponents scarcely less than his political ad mirers, ipgret that death should have iuter j os* il to {in vent lus enjoying them. If the chivalrous and high spiriited Leg get could be disciplined to silence and smother his anti shivery sentiments, it reed not excite surprise that Paulding should be brought to disown and falsify the record of liis, b** the same means and for the same object. Let the South, notwithstanding remember that “the northern candidate with southern principles,” has placed an early and vindictive abolitionist at the head of the Navy Department. NAT IONA I * EXPE N DITUR ES. Under the shove lioiul. in another column we publish an article, taken from the “Na tional Intelligencer,” which we would re commend to the careful perusal of our ren tiers. The extravagance of Mr. Van Bo ren's administration should be truly alarm ing to every patriot citizen, who would de sire to see the Govenueut administered with purity and economy. The official paper which contains the statement of the expenditures of the Gov- I eminent from 18J4, to 1837, inclusive, ex hibits facts that cannot for a moment be doubted; neither can the partisans of the “Dkmocf.atic” President, by the use of sophistical argument, relieve tlieir favorite, or tlieir party, from the indignation which sucli a state of things is calculated to t*r«- ducp throughout the whole country. The extravagance of Mr. Adams'administration created quite a sensation, and was one of the principal, among many, causes of his de feat. But what was the extravagance of A1 r. Adams,’ or of even Gen Jackson's admin istration, wh"n compared with that of MAR TIN VAN BUREN ? During the years IBJO, ’v6 and ’*37, of Alr. Adams, adminis tration, the whole expenditures of the Gov ernment, for those THREE YEARS, a mounted to 537-,”05.871 B<i. Now maik lie difference. In 1837, THE EXPENSES OF THE GOVERNMENT. UNDER Van BUREN'S ADMINISTRATION, WERE $39,164,745 37, which is nearly TWO MILLIONS OF DOLLARS AIORE, IN ONE Y EAR, than was expen ded during the admi-ii.-.tration of Air Ad ams in THREE YEARS. But this not all. The expenses of the [Government in 1835. ivr.c about SEVENTEEN MIL LIONS OF DOLLARS. In 1836, they had increased to THIRTY MILLIONS, aud in 1837. there was a still further in crease of NINE MILLIONS. Should Mr. VAN BUREN be re elected, allowing the same ratio of increase from vear to year in 184 4, th" expenditures of the Govern ment will amount to the ENORMOUS SUM OF EIGHTY MILLIONS OF DOLLARS Who professing to be the advocate of an economical administration., ol the Government, can give countenance or support to such wasteful expenditures of the people's money, and which if persisted in, will end in entailing upon our country a load ol debt, equalled only by the national debt of Great Britaiu!!! Gi orgid Journal. THE NATIONAL EXPENDITURES. A cunningly ih vised and very labored article has lately been published in tie Richmond Enquirer to divert the public attention from the true state of the case as to the expenditures of public money by the Administiations which have had the 'con trol of it during the last ten years : and that article lias been reproduced elsewhere it; a manner to prove that it is relied upon for e/leet as much as if there were any sub stance in it—as if it were not an ingenious piece of sophi ical deception. In view of that article, we have thought this would be a prop er time oprodure the following 1 fftial pa pei the authenticity of which cannot bedouln cil, nor its facts denied : asking the reader not to forget whilst he reads it, that the ynrs 1825,1826, 1827, and 1828, wnetl e four years of Mr. Adams’s Administration; thnt the effects of the Jacksonian reform of pretended abuses under that Adni'nis tration began to be felt in 1830, and have continued through the whole of the late Administration, and under the present Ad ministration nearly to this day : and that during the whole of that time the Ad ministration paity has had the upper hand in Congress, and, of course, the power of controlling the expenditures.

The Post is now the accre dited organ of democracy iu that great ci ty. and hurls its anathemas against all whs*, dare to doubt the infallibility of Alartiu Van Buren, and his advisers. Such is the edi tor of the Post now ; the following extract from a poem, (lor lie is a poetical politici an,) wriit.en by that gentleman some years i since, will show what he was then, and what he then thought o! the gi-ea* apostel of demo cracy. 'J lion.as Jefferson : "And thou, the scorn of every patriot name, Thy country's ruin and her council's shame. Poor servile thing ! derision of the brave!

And vain alike, to flatter or to lie. From the long sleep alarm’d the j eople rise, And spite of sophisms, learn to’rust their, eyes.” There, what do our deinerralic friends think of that ' What do they think of demo . cracy declining before the beams of tivth ?

The l nion prints are dctermii t-d that w e. shall not forget the defeat of Judge Donglt eny, at the gubernatorial election in U-35,. and would without doubt, he glad to draw an inference, that because he was defeated then, lie will he defeated in October next. This catching at straws, indicates to us, that they have but little confidence in the success ol their candidate and that they are driven to any shift to sust ,in their tot tering and sinking party. ’I hey tell ns ton, that the Ft ate Rights party are not unit' ll ii{>oii Judge Dougherty. If this he so, it is our misfortune, but before tve can believe this asseitioii, we must have better evidence than a mere difference of opinion iu regard, to men, which may have been, expressed In tho nominating Convention. ~L is raiely the case, that more unanimity of opinion prevails in any large assembly, than did in tlint Convtmion. II we mis take not, the 1 umber of delegates were near two hundred and fifty aud yet upon the third bailotting, Judge I), oht,-fined a majority of more than two thuds.

How many ballottings were there, beiore Judge McDonald obtained ihe rtm iiuuun ? Did the J’rcsidcut of thr l nion Convention make an earnest appeal 10 the. parly, in his mest solemn manner, to lav aside the dissensions which troubled them, reminding them that some of the Union parly were Bank men, and some ami l ank men, some were Sub-Treasury men, and some auti Sub-Treasury men, (hat u|ou these divisions the party had been defeat ( and a! the preceding election ?

Does the Federal Union really wish to know where Judge Dougherty vi-as -u those fearful times,’ when these principles were discussed iu Georgia? Let him turn to the Journals of the Legislature, aud he will find that he supported these princi| les, which in our opinion, are the only cues which can preserve the rights of the States and the Constitution of the United S ates.

Tlie same record will show him conten ding for the general government in all t» usurpations,- and for the right of the Su preme Cot* rt to interfere inourlocal mat ters the final jurisdiction of which, has been vested in our own Superior Courts by the S.atc Constitution.
