From the Correspondence ofthe Charles

WASHINGTON, JULY 18,1839.
\fter a protracted silence---;*)*! lonuo in
tervallo— 1 resume my pen to give you the
substance of a report which has for some
Jays agitated our usually stoical communi
tv. A deep mystery has hitherto involved
the fate of the Hornet , which was supposed
to have foundered, years ago, in a gale; and
every circumstance, however improbable,
which related to her position, when last seen,
has been ferreted out and narrated, with a
de 'ree of minuteness which evinces the
deep feelings which, to this day, exists iu
relation to her fate. Anew and startling
light has been suddenly cast upon the
rnvstery, by the offer of an individual to ex
hibit proofs that this ill-fated vessel outlived
the gale, iu which it was believed that she
perished, and met her distinction from
enemies more cruel than the elements.
The name of the individual it would be
obviously improper to publish until his sto
ry shall have assumed a more definite and
authentic form, and the testimony, by
which it is to be established, shall have
been obtained. The amount of the disclo
sure here made is that, after pa sing through
the gale, in safety, her magazine was fired
|,y conspirators, bribed to effect this diabol
ical purpose by the head ofa foreign govern
ment, and that four hundred brave men were
thus instantaneously hurried into eternity,
in a moment of entire self-security, and
while the iniercharge of congratulations for
their preservation from the prey of wind
and wave was yet unfinished. He who
voluntarily comes foward to make this dis
closure states that he was not himself pres
ent at the catastrophe; but that a friend
was there; and for this friend lie requires
pardon in the establishment ofthe truth of
his statement. lie also asks for a pecunraty
reward for himself. The evidence on r«hicli
lie proposes to establish the facts is the pro
duction ofthe ship's log book i pm the mo
ment ofthe catastrophe aim also ofthe pri
vate letters of the officers, with other testi
ui my of a corroborative character. The
subject is ndiw before the Navy Board, and
has led to frequent and long deliberation. But
they w ill not be able to come to any conclu
sion as to the conditions 4 remired by the in
formant. Indeed, they have no authority
vested in them to make stipulations ofa pe
cuniary’nature. It is said that the President
has been written to on the subject, and that
the ulterior proceedings in the case will de
pend on his reply, The members of the
Board are inclined to attach importance to
the statement of this man, inconsequence
ol some private communication which he
has made Concerning the motive to the insti
gation of this awful outrage, which motive
they deem satisfactoriy aud sufficient. For
the sake of humanity and for the sake ol our
country, it is to he hoped that no effort
will be spared to elucidate the whole of this
affair ; and, be the consequences what they
may, to work retribution in those by whom
this scheme was planned, and by whose in
fluence it was carried into effect. J'iutjun

EXTRAVAGANCE OF NATIONAL
EXPENDITURES.
We have occasionally adverted to tlie to
pic of tlie extravagance of the National Ex
pendit'nes, and we cannot help hut loel
that it is a subject which should command
the serious attention of the American peo
ple. If our Government is ever to he res
tored to its original purity, the first effective
blow, to the accomplishment of so desirable
a result, must be given by the. people and it
must be struck at the extravagance of our
public officers. Who is there, in the pres
ent day, will dare to controvert the charge,
so often made, that there is, in the adminis
tration of the attbirs of the General Govern
ment, an extravagant, and wasteful expen
diture of the peoples’ money 1 It there be
one so far behind the history oj t.ot limes, and
lie seeks for proof, let him but examine
the official reports of the officers of every
Department of tlie Government, and he will
find not only enough to satisfy him ol the
truth of the charge, hut he will retire from
the investigation with a consciousness that
the days of Republican simplicity are pass
ed, and that they are no longer models used
for imitation by our present public func
tionaries.
We have before us a pa pet which furnish
es us with afcw facts in relation to this sub
ject which we desire, on the present occa
sion, to present to our readers. The con
tingentexpenses of the House of Representa
tives in 1839, amounted to the extravagant
sum of two hundred and seventy-two thou
sand dollars. Ofthis suin there is charged
for making pens, o/ih/’liuee hundred and six
ty-eight dollars. Also, thirty-two dollars
and seventy-five cents for snutf. Five hun
dred and ten dollars, tor folders and seals.
Six hundred and ninety eight dollars for
cartridge,paper. Four thousand three hun
dred and sixty-six dollars for horse hire—
and one hundred and forty-five dollats for a
pingh paper, the Globe. So much for the
few items of. among the many, contingent
expenses of the House ol Representatives
•luring the last session. In the General
Post Office Department, we find an item
charged thus, "foe dinners at Taverns for
illerks," one. hundred and eighty-eight dol
lars, and three hundred and eighty-seven
dollars for Newspapers. In the War De
partment, eight hundred and eigty four dol
lars and eight cents for Newspapers. In the
Treasury Department, nine hundred and
seventy-seven dollars and ninety-three cents,
and in the Navy Department, four hundred
and fifty dollars and seventy cents for News
papers, also. Making in the aggregate, for
the public officers in Washington Citv, the
mormons sum, for Newspapers, of I\V O
THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED AND
NINETY NINE DOLLARS AND SEV
KNTY ONE CENTS. What prodigali
ty! ! In addition to this, let any one take
the trouble to examine bow the different ap
propriations of Congress have been disbur
sed by public agents, and he will find the
same extravagance jierva.on£ Pve O UepStft-
ment of the Government, from the Presi
dent lyiuself down to the scullion iu the
kitchen.
Intimately connected with this subject
is the negligence of the Administration to
enforce settlements with public agents who
rail to make them at the proper period, and
lo punish defaulters. Who would for a
moment suppose that when the Govern
ment v/aaforced to the issuing of Treasury
Notes, there was then, in the hands of its a
gents, ilie very considerable sum of FIF
TH KN MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, un
accounted for? The public documents
prove this to have been the case. Is it not
a crying evil ? But this is uot all. Tbe
people have lost by the Land Office alone*,
eight hundred and twenty-five thousand, six
hundred and seventy eight dollars ami twen
ty-eight cents. In view of all this, is there
any wonder that the people should be told
that its Government is bankrupt whilst its
agents are wantonly rioting in the use of
their money ? Is there any wonder that the
peopD are severely taxed, the merchants ru
ined, aud an alarming crises created every
two or three years, in the mpnied opera
tions ol the country ? Is there no remedy ?
Must the people submit/ We answer. No!
They are even now preparing to rise in their
might and rebuke their rulers. Modem
Democracy will be stifled in it« growth, and
the indignation ofa virtuous people aroused
as it is into action, can and will again restore
the Government to its original purity. We
shall pursue this srbject occasionally. At
present, our limits do not permit us to say
more.

The Great Western brings news from
Liverpool, of a decline in Cotton of |d.
WttitAM Stafford, Esq. has be**n ap
pointed Post Master at this place, vice Col
H W. Jkrnigan, resigned.
The Superior Court for this county, will
commence its session on Monday next. It
is said that the dockets are pretty well crow
ded with business.
A Watermelon was raised on tlie planta
tion of Col. Elbert Lawis, near this place
weighing 47 pounds.
According to all accounts Mr. A r an Bu
ren seems not to be reaping as milch “glori
fication” as he anticipated from his great
Northern tour. Notwithstanding his ardu
ous and zigzag race after the fleeting demon
strations of popular favor that were so copi
ously showered upon the old chief, his pre
decessor, during a similar tour, he seems to
gather nothing more thafi a few feeble shouts
from the ‘ ragtag and bobtails” of his party,
composing a mob who pursues President in
his travels with the same spirit that a parcel
of mischievous boys would run after au tin
lucky dog with a paper of shot tied to hi s
tail. In New York, it is true, he was met
with great cordiality by Slam Bang & Cos.
and made a huge Sub-Treasury speech to
the assembled populace at Castle Garden,
but the staunch old Democrats of the Party
sullenly kept aloof from the servile show.—
Gen. Jackson visited the same city in 1834
and was received amidst the thuuderings «1
cannon and the roar of public acclamations;
Mr. Van Bureti is greeted in 1839 with tlie
hoarse clamors of Fanny Wrightism, Jaco
binisrn, Agrarianism, and all the other dis
graceful isms to be found in a population like
that of New A'ork.
A partizan President, on an electioneering
tour, cannot expect to meet with that cordi
al and open hearted reception due to the
Chief Magistrate of the Nation, and which
under other circumstances would be cheer
fully accorded to him, whatever might be
his sentiments on questions ol general poli
cy. Mr. Van Bu'eu and his friends cannot
therefore, be surprised that the corporation
of the city of Hudson, his former place of
residence, should refuse to tender to him the
hospitalities of the city. Dignity and inde
pendence of character tequired such a course
from the public authorities, and they de
serve eminent applause for the firmness dis
played by them on the occasion. We re
member being in that same city just before
Mr. Van Buren was formally nominated as a
candidate for the Presidency, and it was
there that we caught the first glimpse we
ever had of his gracious countenance. He
was then surrounded by a mob as he moved
along the street in his fine English carriage,
dodging his bald pate, first on this side and
then on that, with his !»at in bis hand, and
smiling in winning condescension upon tbe
crowd that occupied the side walks and at
tended him in his entrance iuto the city.—
He was then Vice President, a„d it was well
known that he was soon to be nominated by
a Baltimore Convention as the candidate for
President, having already been appointed
successor by Gen. Jackson, whose dictum
alone, was sufficient to bring the office hold
ers and leaders of the Jackson parti), (for
Jackson was not the leader of his own partv)
into his support; but for the life of us, we
could not believe that the American people,
would so far yield up their liberties iuto the
hands of one man, as to permit him to ap
point a ruler for them. But, 90 it is, we were
mistaken in our estimate of General Jack
son's authority, (not his popularity, for we
were aware of that,) and his appointment
was duly confirmed, without a refeience to
the qualifications of the appointed.
Mr. Van Buren is now President, howev
er, Mid although his btief Administration has
threatened to outdo all fortnei ones on the
score of extravagance a: and corruption, still,
he is the first officer of this great nation, and
respect should be shown to him ns such, so
long as he maintains the dignity of his sta
tion; but when, as iu the present instance,
he departs from that high honor and impar
tiality which should distinguish the head of
a free people, and lowers himself down to
the standard of a drivilling demagogue, by
travelling about through the country ma
king partizan speeches, the people are right
to turn away from hint with deep disgust.
We would be glad, if some of the leading
Van Buren Editors in Georgia, who (irate so
loudly about their Democratic and Jefferso
nian principles, would take up the Kentucky
Resolutions, which were drawn up by Mr.
Jefferson's own hand, and reconcile them
with the principles of Gen, Jackson's Proc
lamation and the Force Bill. As they pro
fjss, also, to believe in the Virginia Resolu
tions. and in Mr. Madison’s Report thereon,
we should like to see them publish these in
teresting documents and comment upon the
doctrines they contain. If they really do
believe in the principles set forth and main
tained iu those important papers, then it is
utterly impossible for them to believe also,
in the Proclamation and Force Bill, which
are the perfect antipodes of the former; then
too, we are prepared to hail them as breth
ren aud co-workers in the same great cause
of State Rights anJ constitutional Liberty;
for we, too, love the Union, and hope that
its blessings may be perpetuated throughout
all coming time : But we wish to preserve
the Union, by preserving our glorious Con
stitution in its purity, and by protecting that
sacred instrument from the ruthless attacks
of an irresponsible majority in Congress, by
throwing around it the impenetrable iEgis
of State Rights. If, however,our Vau Bu
ren friends in this State, ot' at least, those
who are styled leaders of that party, still
hold to the Proclamation as their “confes
sion of faith,” and yet announce themselves
Jeffersonians, and Republicans bf the old
school, they are certainly practising one of
the most stupendous frauds ever played off
upon gaping credulity. It is evidently, a
snare in which to catch the unwary and un
thinking; and many, no doubt, have been
{lrawu iuto its meshes by the fraudulent de
vice.
There are hundreds of honest men in the
country, whose opportunities have never
permitted them to investigate for themselves
the great fundamental principles of the Gov
ernment under which they reside, aud who,
with a credulity characteristic of honesty
aro always ready to join with those who
make the loudest professions of patriotism.
But like the followers of the ‘ veiled Pro
phet of Kliorsssarl,” it is to be ftjared that
many of them will read their error only in
the downfall of the temple of liberty, llo
kanua preached,
“Those words of sunshine, freedom to a
world,”
and yet, was ail the while engaged in plot
ting its subjection to his own foul despotism.
With the high and holy pteceptsof morality
fresh upon his lips, he would retire to revel
in crimes of the blackest and deepest hue.
Having concealed his face behind a “silver
veil.” under the pretence of hiding a glory
too dazzling to he seen with safety by his
followers, he exercised a blind, though un
limited sway over them, until, at length, in
his extremity, he exposed to their astonish
ed vision a mass of the most loatbesomede
formity, and taunting them with their cre
dulity and folly, exclaimed,
“Ye would be dupes and victims, and ye are.’
Then indeed, did they regret tiie unsuspecl
ng blindness with which they had listened
to his hypocritical counsels; but, alas, thei,.
eyes were opened only in the midst of the
common ruin, in which the hideous mon
ster had involved them.
Shakspeare asks, “Whats in a name?”
and answering adds,
“That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet.”
But with due deference to the memory of
that immortal bard, we imagine that there
is rather more of poetry than truth in the
quotation. The magic of a name for a
while wrought wonders in the political ele
ments in Georgia; for we well remember
what a thrill was produced in our bosoms
when the captivating sound of UNION
was first rung in our ears in contradistinc
tion to Nullification and State Rights. But
a little reflection soon taught us, that how
ever dear to our souls the UNION might
be, Liberty was yet a little dearer; and
that neither the one nor the other could
long be preserved without the interposition
of State Sovereignty, whenever, the Con
stitution which was framed for their protec
tion, should be assailed. State Rights and
the Constitution then became with us more
favourite terms than Union had ever been
before; and so they did with all who hon
estly investigated the subject. This is
manifest from the fact, that thousands who
at the impulse of the moment, and from
loug cherisl ed feelings of affection towards
the Union, over eve.y other consideration,
when its lords had well uigh been loosened
by the Proclamation that followed the Or
dinance of South Carolina, arrayed them
selves under that banner which had inscri
bed upon it, the name of Union, and after
wards upon mature reflection, united with
that party whose watchword is “Liberty
first, then the Constitution, and then the
Union.” The people of Georgia, who a
lirst were frightened with the bare idei of
Nullification, have now become familiar
with it as one of the remedies for the viola
ted lights of a Stale, and hare long siuce
ceased to regard it as the “raw head and
bloody bones,” it was represented to be by
those who wiHied to take advantage of their
prejudices and credulity, to lift themselves
into power. In short, the treat body of the
people are beginning to regard the doctrine
of State Rights, as the true conservative
doctrine of the constitution, and are there
fore fast shaking off the shackles of a party,
that like the See of Rome would perpetu
ate its power by keeping its devotees in ig
norance.
Hence it is, that many of the leaders of
the Van Buren, or Union Party, as they us
ed to love to term themselves, now profess
to advocate State Righ/s, and believe in the
Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions, when
they know well enough, tnat the principles
upon which their party was built up, are
those of consolodatiou and Federalism.
TENNESSEE PATRIOT.
We received, a few days ago, a number of
the blackguard sheet, that flourishes under
the above coguumeu. What its editor could
have meant by sending it to us, we cannot
imagine, without it was to hear our opinion
of its demerits, to which he is heartily wel
come.
As if to show the slavish character of his
columns, and to announce to the world that
he wears his master’s collar, the editor has
hoisted as a motto, “ IVe follow in Ve foot
steps.” This alone, was sufficient for us,
without looking further into the sheet. But
prompted by curiosity to see what tiie mind
of so slavish a creature could produce, we
glanced over his editorial, and closed the
filthy affair with a sickening sensation of dis
gust. Detraction, slander, and gross black
guardism seem to be the ouly weapons with
which he is familiar, and these se-iu tube
principally) directed against the Whig can
didate for Congress in his district, simply
because he is a Whig. Out of the twenty
five or thirty squibs which fill up his edito
rial columns fifteen of them, containing
personal abuse, are levelled at Col. John W.
Crockett, son of the lamcuted David Crock
ett.
Notwithstanding the deep disgust with
which we dosed this disgraceful affair, we
could not forbear a few reflections iu rela
tion to the glowing licentiousness of the
press in some sections of the country. It
is an evil which cries aloud for reform, and
which, if not corrected, threatens to inciease
the moral depravity every where visible
throughout the land. The taste of the
reading public is in a great measure, con
trolled by the emissions of the newspaper
press, and it is always easier for a depraved
and licentious press to vitiate the minds and
feelings of its readers, than it is sot tliC most
mbral and high toned publication to elevate
the thoughts and character of those who
draw upon its columns for information and
amusement.
We are, thereflirC, sorry to see that such
a paper as the Patriot, can find nourishment
iu the enlightened State of Tennessee, and
that it ever became our tnisfortuuc to notice
In 1800 the circulation of the New York
Daily Press, was four thousand one hun
dred sheets. Since then it lias increased
more than thirteen hundred percent. The
circulation in the ciry at present, is fifty-six
thousand four hundred sheets;
In Baltimore the daily circulation in
was four thousand eight hundred sheets.—
It is now upwards of nineteen thousand.
The circulation of the weekly press in
Philadelphia, in 1 8 20, was less than three
thousand. It is now stated to lie more titan
eighty thousand. This is oue evidence of
the great and increasing power of the press.
How important is it therefore, that >ts con.
ductors should be honest and faithful in th e
discharge of their high and responsible du
ties ?
PRINTING.
The discovery of this invaluable art is
generally attributed to Koster in the year
1430; but there is a strong probability that
it originated in China, and was practised to
some extent 'here, long before it was intro
duced into Europe. The Romans it is said,
also, used stereotypes, or printing immova
ble types in stamping tlieir wares; and it is
astonishing that they did not sooner apply
the art, which they really, though uncon
sciously possessed, to the priming of books.
In 1441, inetal types began to be used by
Faust and Geitisileieli, by the former Os
whom the Bible was first printed, Tlie tra
dition of the devil and Dr. Faustus origina
ted in the circumstances connected with the
appearance of Faust’s Bible. Having dis
covered the art, and wishing to conceal his
discovery, he printed in secret a large num
ber of copies, and offered them for sale in
Paris as manuscripts, at the reduced price of
sixty crowns, while other scribes wereasking
five hundred, This created universal as
tonishment, which was increased to the high
est pitch by his producing copies as fast as
they were wanted, with the utmost uniform
ity and correctness. Informations were
lodged against him as a magician; and in
searching his house a great many other co
pies were found, together with a large quan
tity of red ink, which was said to be human
blood, and it was accoulingly adjudged that
he wa* in league with the Prince of dark*
ness. He only saved himself from a bonfire
by revealing Ids discovery.
In 1471 printing was introduced into En
gland by William Caxtou, a wealthy mer
chant, and soon afterwards, became gener
ally practised throughout all Europe.—
Books, primed at that early period, present
to tbe reader of this age, some curious sid
eline ns of the typographical art. We had
once, in our possession, a book of travels,
written by sir Jolpi Mandeville and printed
almut the year 1800, which was really a cu
riosity, both as regards the printing and the
orthography. The first letter of every
chapter had been omitted, leaving a space,
which was afterwards filled w ith letters pain
fed in vaiious colours mostly blue and red.
Xr the lime of that publication the English
'anguage was also, in its infancy, and 110 re
gard whatever, was (mid to orthography, the
most simple words being spelt in a variety of
ways on the same page. Some literary thief,
ionderof antiquarian studies than ourself,
(filtered the book, though as a simple relic
of ancient times, and ofthe early days of
our art, we would scarcely have parted with
it for any consideration.
The Courier and Enquirer says that
Abijah Mann, late M. C. for New York,
is an applicant for the office of Treasurer
ofthe United States, made vacant by the
removal of Mr. Campbell. He is disap
pointed, William Selden of Virginia having
received the apnointmen’.
This Mr. Selden was defeated as a can
didate for Cougress at the late election in
Virginia, and already he has received Ins
reward from the Execurive. The pay in
this instance has been made with rather
more than usual promtitude. The case,
however, is but another added to a thous
and proofs, that the surest wav to recom
mend one’s self to the favor of the admin
istation is to forfeit the confidence of the
community. It is an old English maxim,
that “the King can do do wrong,” but the
President's maxim appears to be, that the
people can do no right. Most heartily do
they reciprocate his very flattering opin
ion.
The President can reward his friends
when the people reject them, but what can
he do for himself iu 1840 when the peo
ple reject him,! lias he thought of
that?
