Kissing.
Tlieru’s somethin;:in a kir-*,
Though I cannot reveal it,
Which never comes otsiiss; —
Not c/eu when >ve steal it.
We cannet taste a !u,.
And sure wo cannot view it,
But is there not a bos

I am well convinced there is
A certain something in it--
For though a simple kiss,
We wisely strive to win it.
Yes there’s something in a kiss
If nothing else would prove it,
It might be (Woved alone by this—
All honest people love it.
The Silk Culture. —We observe with pleas
ure that, almost from one end of the country
to the other, the attenton of agriculturist* and
others has been turned to the rearing of the
Mulberry and theeproJuclioa of Si Ik. Thou
sands on thousands have this year embarked
in the business ; and if the spirit does not e va
porate, and permit the abandonment of the
enterprise before it has had a fair trial, our
country will soon supply her own wants and
produce largely for exportation, instead of
expending ten to twenty-five millions per an
num in the purchase of foreign Silks. And
thi may he accomplished without subtracting
essentially from the aggregate of our other
products, since the labor of children arid
others who are unequal to more rugged tasks
will to perform nine-tenths of the work
here required ; while the enterprise will open
anew and ample field to female industry,
which lias bsen too much fettered among
us—a field more favorable to morals and
health than the atmosphere of factories, and
more congenial to the independence of Ame
rican character than the precarious toils of
domestic service. And not only will the
now’ productive labor, or rather capacity for
labor, of our country, find boundless employ
ment, but the light and sterile soils which
have been exhausted by improvident cultiva
tion, or were naturally unfruitful, may thus be
made productive to an extent beyond the
wildest dream of their proprietors.
But all this requires tune and patience, and
ihat skill winch is only found in connection
with experience. If any expect to become
suddenly riel: by the Silk Culture, it is hardly
a prophecy to say they are doomed to dis
appointment. True, some have realized for
tunes or competences by the rearing of the
Mulberry, but that proves nothing more than
the eagerness With which our citizens are em
barking in the new business. Mulberries, it
must he apparent,have borne an exorbitant
price this season—such as we think no man
is justified in paying but lor a beginning.
He who has none may afford to pay fifty
cents each for shoots to commence with, but
he can hardly expect to renliz -a profit from
bis first year’s production—of Silk, we mean,
sine? Mulberries may, but more likely never
will, command such prices again. But he
who commences on a small scale now, with
ill the lighs which the recorded exprience of
others can give him, and is so rational as not
to calculate on making a fortune by a busi
ness until he has acquired a practical knowl
edge of it, will be almost certain, in our judge
ment, eventually to reap a satisfactory reward
lor his outlay and industry.
We trust, then, that this sudden and very
general direction of capital, enterprise and
industry to the Silk Culture, will prove no
mere bubble or transient enthusiasm. The
visionary and the giddy who have rushed in
tuit with the absurd idea of making a fortune
off-hand will of course as abruptly abandon
it when they have met the disappointment
which certainly awaits them. But those
who have understood their business from the
outset, and entered upon it with intelligence
and common sense, will be sure to find their
ultimate advantage in perseverance, while
they wiil add millions to the production and
perniament wealth of their country.—.Vjw

The Teeth —Our friend Weldie notices a
discovery of no little importance to such as
are troubled with bad teeth. He says :
‘ Sometime since, Dr. Caldwell,* now a
practising dentist at No. 63 South Sixth street,
had a favorite horse which had become in
capable of eating his oats, and on investiga
tion a carious tooth indicated the difficulty to
result probably from the tooth ache. Ex
traction was the remedy of course; the poor
horse was tripped up by tying his feet togeth
er as custom prescribes, his gum was lanced,
as we poor humanities have too often wit
nessed, and a pair of pinchers were applied,
us we have also experienced; even a mallet
and chisel failed of their effect. The tooth
was intractable; no effort could draw it from
its socket. The gum tumefied, and, on ex
. a mining it carefully, the doctor perceived a
ligament at the neck of the tooth, and with
out much thinking of effect, he cut it ; the
tooth immediately fell out, or was extracted
with a slight effort with the thumb and finger.
This led the operator to reflection, and the
hint was obta'ineJ which confers upon suf
fering huinaily a benefit, which tnay be es
teemed by th.e-stjiH.-rer second only to the dis
coveries of Jenner, or the circulation of the
blood 1 Subsequent experiments have fully
proved that the human teeth are also retained
so powerfully in their sockets by a ligament,
and it is the breaking of this which requires
much manual force; and •this, when’ cut,
which gives not so much pain as lancing the
gums, loosens the tooth, and it mav immedi
ately be extracted, without pain, with the fin
g'rs ! A phvsician of our acquaintance, has
had the operation of extracting a large mo
lar, treble framed tooth in thisWnv, without
pain, and so graceful was he bv the fact, that
lie investig#e3 the anatomy of the parts and
extracted all trie teeth of a dead subject in
the same way, and with no more difficulty
than above related. He is a witness not to
be impeached, who with many others have al
ready been benefited by this great anatomi
cal discovery.’

‘SENTINEL & HERALD.!
I COLUMBUS, NOVEMBER 3, 1333. j
PROSPECTUS OF THE COLUMBUS SEN-!
TINEL AND HERALD.
The undersigned, having recently entered
upon the duties of Editor, considers it due to
the cause of candor that he should thus briefly
set forth the political doctrines which he shall
! attempt to advocate, and by which lie shall
be governed.
On the great question relative to the pow
ers of the State and Federal Governments,
and which has so long divided the people of
Georgia, ana it may with truth be said, <;f
the whole South, lie lias ever been a member
.of that party known as the Union party.
From ns thorough an investigation as he was
enabled to give the subject, at an early pe
riod of the controversy, he became convinced!
that the doctrine of nullification was wrong
in theory and in practice, could not fail to
lead to the most disastrous consequences, des
tructive alike to the perpetuity of our govern
ment, and the -liberty and happiness of the
people. Whilst he professes himself a firm
and decided advocate for the rights of the
States, and a believer in a strict arid literal
construction of the Federal Constitution, he
is nevertheless clearly of (he opinion, in the
language of Gov. Troup, that “ the ballot
box is the only constitutional remedy for an 1
unconstitutional law.” By reference to the |
history of the Federal Constitution, it is run- i
nifesl shat it was formed by the States, not
in their political capacity as States, but by the
people of each of* the States acting in their
; highest sovereign capacity. Thus, as re
duaiked by Mr. Madison, the Constitution of
| the United States was formed by the same
! authority which formed the State Constitu
tions.
The Federal Constitution being thus deri
ved from the sovereign will of the people in
each of the States, it consequently has the
same authority in each of the States as the
State Constitutions, and, to quote Mr. Madi
son still further, “ is as much a Constitution,
in the strict sense of the term, within its pre
scribed sphere, as the Constitutions of the i
States are yi their respective spheres, but j
with this obvious and essential difference, that 1
being a compact among the States in tlicir ’
highest sovereign capacity, and constituting!
tfie people thereof one people for certain pur- j
poses, it cannot be altered or annulled at the
will of the Slates individually, as the Consti
tution of a Stale may be at its individual
will.”
A furl her provision of this Constitution is
in this language, that “ this Constitution, and
| the laws and treaties made in pursuance
‘ thereof, shall be the supreme law of the land,
; any thing in the Constitution or laws of anv
| State to the contrary notwithstanding.” It
| follows from thence, as a corollary, that the
laws passed by Congress, until they shall have
been encountered and overcome by the con
trolling power in that government from which
they emanated, (to wit: the will of the people
expressed at the ballot-box,) are binding upon
the States and the people; and in order to
secure the full scope of their powers, it is
made the duty of the Judges, in each of the;
States, to. give them full exercise.
For the protection of the rights of the j
States and the people, the Constitution has |
relied ujioL rcßsausiWtoy--TSf the Senator* i
and Representatives in Congress, to the peo
ple and legislatures of the States the respon
sibility of the President to the people of (he
United States, and the liability of the Execu
tive and Judicial officers of the Government
ito he impeached by the representatives of
j the people in thefoder.il legislature, and to be
| tried by the Senators, the peculiar representa
i iives of the States.
! The frequent recurrence of elections will,
; we think, always secure the people against
oppression from the General Government.
But. if this should not, then there is a point at
which passive obedience becomes a crime.—
In such a crisis, that right, paramount lo ail
Constitutions, must be resorted to, to wit: the
right of revolution.
We have already stated that we are strict
constructionists, believing that all the powers
intended to be conferred on the Federal Gov
ernment, are specifically enumerated in the
Constitution. It follows from thence that we
aie opposed to the establishment of a Na
tional Bank by Congress, to a system of in
ternal improvements by the General Govern
ment, and to a protective Tariff,.or to any
other exercise of power deriving its existence
: from implication.
! We are of those who believ: in the maxim !
: that “ the world is governed too much,” and I
| that all the exclusive privileges conferred upon
companies or individuals, are so far an inno
j vation upon the rights of the people. Hence
we oppose the influence of corporate power,
of monied power, or any other power by
i which the rights of die great body of* the
’ people are taken from them or jeopardized.
We believe further, that the people of this
| country are capable of self-government, and
the Democratic principle that “all men are
! born equal,” is with us a standing and invaria
! Isle maxim.
These are the leading doctrines which we
shat! attempt fearlessly and zealously to sup
port, and upon the fi.m establishment of:
which, in our opinion, the existence of thisj
Government and the cause of freedom de
pends. JAMES H. CAMPBELL.
MONOPOLIES.
No better evidence can he wanted to
prove that those horned beasts are fearfully
increasing iu our country, than is presented in
the history of the banks, aud the contrast ex
hibited between the condition of these legal
ized shaving >hops, and the condition of the
people themselves. Monopolies, of all kinds,
a: longerons, and have tended, more than
any thing else, to retard the onwatd course
of freedom, from the earliest period of civili
zation. What is a monopoly r It is the ex
clusive right to a common privilege, and the
exclusive privilege to use a tight common to
all, so as to make-it selfish and individual in
its benefits.
A monopoly of intellect cannot he obtained
—fitr which we adore the author of our ex
istence — the human mind cannot, will not, be
trammelled ; in its thought, there is freedom
—in its action, independence. But a monied
monopoly easily obtains. Its growth is al
most spontaneous, at least it is natural; for
owing to the difference of disposition in'iiian- j
hind, in relation to industry, economy and
prudence, some will be found to have amass
ed great wealth, while others must trudge
. long with but a modicum, and be subject
more or less to the control ol ti e more weal
thy. O. this state of things we will not stop
to compiain; for a man who will not work,
dues not deserve to eat; and lie who studies
not economy, need not look for ease or inde
pendence. But the monopoly of which we
have, do, and will compiain, is found in that
system of banking which has grown up in
our country like the upas tree, and spreading
its strong and luxuriant branches, is scatter
ing its deadly poison to the four quarters of
tins republic. We are no bankers. We
have never been schooled in the intricate
science of financiering; but, unless we are
totally ignorant of the original object of es
tablishing banking institutions, they were in
tended as safe depositories for the surplus
money of the people—die hanks themselves
deriving whatever benefit might accrue from
the use of such deposits for a given length of
time—and i:i turn, lending their means and
resources to the accommodation of the peo
ple—and more especially the mercantile class
—whenever they might be required, upon
the proper securily. Are we mistaken in
the original purport and intent of banking ?
If not, how sadly have the monied institu
tions of the country, departed from first prin
ciples! Most cheerfully do they receive de
posits. and as cheerfully turn them over and
over, to swell the credit side of profit and loss
account. But where is that accommodation
so much needed by our merchants in these
pinching times ? W hat are the banks about ?
\Ve speak generally, and hope not to be un
derstood as in the slightest degree pointed
or invidunits—are they doing a legitimate
business ? Are they fulfilling the spirit of their
charters? Are they, as incorporated bodies,
acting in good faith towards that power
which spoke them into existence, and gave
them their credentials? Let the dying con
dition of commerce and trade in general an
swer these questions. Let the records of the
courts speak. Could we hold up to view
these records, we could exhibit a list of suits
in favor s>! the banks, and against the peo
ple, longer than the funeral procession of Cse
sar. The bank debtors are compelled by
law to pay the uttermost farthing, while the
bank creditors are forced to wait until their
monster musters please to resume specie pay
ment. Here is the iron rod that is heating
down the sceptre of liberty ; here is the scor
pion lash that is whipping the free-born of
the earth, like very slaves ! Who can raise
his head and affirm that he has been bene
fited by a bank ? Not he who dwells without
its walls; not the man who is honestly striv
ing for a livelihood, and closely husbanding
the awards of his prudence and economv. If
he wants exchange, he must pay a per cent,
equal to what he can make on the sale of his
goods, thus obliging him to yield his hard
earnings to swell the profits of the bank,
while his own interests are not a whit ad
vanced. Are we asked fora remedy? we
reply, it is to be found in the virtue, intelli
gence, and independence of the people ; and
through their representatives a system of le
gislation should be m’ ouuced tending to sus
tain the peorye’s rights by coercing the hanks
into a Proper discharge of their duties. The
oiuyNymcm ‘ve Vtjv*wi?T’a present, by which
to bring the banks to their saber senses, is
the system of free banking. This system we
hope to see established. More anon.
The public meeting which took place on
Friday last, with reference to the improve
ment of the Water Power on the Chattahoo
chee, resulted precisely as we had anticipated.
: Many men of many minds.’ How often
have we written that phrase for our school
copy, and knew not what was the meaning
thereof. But no person could possibly have
mistaken its meaning who was so unfortunate
as to have been present at the meeting alluded
to above.
The object of the meeting was simply’ to
ask the concurrence of citizens ir the adop
tion of a resolution which had passed the
i hoard of Aldermen, that said resolution might
he sent up to the Legislature, asking of that
body to give to the corporation of Columbus
I the power to perfect titles to such portion of
I the Town Commons as could be appropria
ted for the general benefit and prosperity of
the whole City.
But, as has been the case invariably in this
curious town, whenever a subject has been
brought forward of general utility, there have
1 been found to spring up ‘many men of many
j mindsand the old school house puzzle lias
crossed our’ brain—but the result has been
universally the same; the? object hud in view
has always been defeated. Nor do men ap
pear to differ upon questions of policy or even
of legal construction quite enough upon prin
ciple. Stubborn opposition, or private inter
est, seems to sway them entirely.
Else, wherefore do individuals exert them
selves so strenuously in opposition to every
mea are in relation to the great question of
appropriating the Commonsskirting the fails,
for manufacturing purposes ? for tins is the
naked point at issue. The hour has arrived
when an effort is to be made on behalf of
Columbus, and for the establishment of her ’
future prosperity; and why may there not
be ur.animiiy of aoion on a subject ol such
vast importance? May not the reason be j
found in the variety of interests to be sub
served? We regret extremely the want of,
harmony in view of lids project; lor we be-!
lieve that we see, in its success or defeat, the j
rise and fall of this hitherto flourishing town.!
What must be the inevitable result? Ii Co
lumbus will not avail herself of the gifts ol na
ture, most assuredly they will he improved
upon the western bank of the river. No e”e
that is half open can lose sight of the invalu- .
able water privileges that are located within
the grasp of this City ; and surely in this age
of enterprise and improvement they will not
much longer be allowed to rest dormant. ;
Who tint has-stood upon the banks ol ourwild ■’
and powerful falls, and watched their gushing j
waters as they passed uselessly away to the
•Treat ocean, can have failed —if he were a j
lover of his native land: most ardently to’
desire that their power might be turned to!
the benefit of his fellow citizens. Anu why
has it not been done? Can lack of capital j
be urged as a good reason? No—we an-;
stver without the fear of contradiction, no.!
I A million of dollars could be invested here in t
the brief space of a month, were the wav I
fairly open, and nothing, is wanting to open
that way, stve unanimity of feeling and con
cert of action.
W e trust that those gentlemen who have
taken the lead hitherto in this matter will not
j ‘ Crow weary in well doing,’ but urge forward
their plans, and risk the ultimatum upon the
: high legal authorities previously given.
SHIP AHOY!
The Whigs are changing colors. When
the piesent administration came into power,
it was with an open and avowed hostility to
a National Bank. The Federal party, with
j Mr. Clay at their head, stood in the opposi
tion, and consequently advocated the Bank.
Mr. Clay was the acknowledged head and
leadt r of the opposition, and the great defend
jer.oi the bank on the floor of the Senate as
elsewhere, and until very recently viewed
as the sole Whig Candidate for the Presiden
cy, in opposition to Mr. Van Buren. Bui
with many of their leading men and presses
a change seems to have come o’er the spirit
ol their dreams. Mr. Webster’s last speech
at Faneui! Hall bad a squinting that way.
He asserted that government must regulate
the National Currency 5 that it was incum
, bent on it to establish a uniform currency,
I which it was authorized to do under tlie pro
vision to regulate commerce ; but he would
not asseil that it must establish a National
Bank to effect this. The defeat of the Whigs
in Maine followed this key note ; and the
Boston Atlas played second fiddle by renounc
ing Mr. Clay as tiie candidate of the Whig
Party. But a few day since tiie New York
Express put forth the opinion gravely : that a
National Bank would be totally unnecessary
since Mr. Biddle had established his Bank in
New York, and obtained a foothold in that
City, in a manner likely to be permanent.
1 The New York Star, the earliest and most
i zealous advocate of Mr. Clay’s pretensions,
readily chimes in with his contemporaries
| aid agrees to tiie policy of setting aside the
bank issue, and of course is willing to drop
: Mr. Clay. And the Bank correspondent of
the National Intelligencer denies, in his inap
■ proacbable wisdom, that there is any such
I issue as Bank or Sub-Treasury'; but .states
the true issue to be ‘ Sub-Treasury or no Sub-
Treasury !!’ A most extraordinary postula
tum for the party to lake, inasmuch as it ex
hibits them willing to abandon any and every
system in their eagerness to defeat the Sub-
I reaßury. It is. however, no matter of as
tonishment after all, that the Whigs should
be anxious to change their ground and their
leader. And it has all along been a matter
! of surprize with us, that in their sagacity thev
| had not perceived that the tide of popular
j feeling was setting with tremendous force
; against Jhe Bank, or a Bank, or any thing in

MORE SIGN.!.
| The Madisonian, a Conservative print,
j published at the City of Washington, has a
j long editorial on the subject ol trie next Pres
idency. It advises a neutral course to its
fiends ; states that it lias been strongly temp
j ted repeatedly to take a decided stand, but is
I not yet prepared to do so; Mr Rives being
! the favorite of the Madisonian, could lie be
j conveniently brought upon the tapis. (Ye
I gods! what a forlorn hope! or as it would be
j expressed in Georgia parlance, ‘that’s a bad
chance.’)
The Madisonian speaks of the following
individuals as having been talked of at head
quarters, as candidates for the Chief Magis
tracy : Gen. Harrison, Mr. Clay, Mr. Web
ster, Corn. Stewart, Gen. Hayne, and Gen.
V* infield Scott, on the Whig side; and on
jibe Democratic side, Messrs. Van Boren,
Benton, Calhoun, and Kendall—and he should
have added, Forsyth. Here’s a field for you.
Some horse is bound to be distanced.
Trade. —lt is now raining very hard, and
there is a good prospect for a boating river.
V. e have been long without an arrival direct
from Apaiachicola, and our market is ex
tremely bare of many of the necessaries of
use ; and as to luxuries, we are compelled to
do without them. The stock of Western
produce is not by any means large, and yet,
as we heard a gentleman say a day or two
ago, it is soiling here lower than in New Or
leans. This may be explained, however, in
tnis way: at a season when our river is up
to good boating order, and when our market
is animated, and trade in general is brisk;
stocks are ordered which frequently over
reach the wants of the purchasers, and at a
time like the present, when anew season is
about to open, and a high river daily antici
pated, of course old stocks of produce are
pushed off at reduced prices, for the reason
obviously, that fresh goods will always outsell
those which have been on hand during a long
and dull season. But our market is elastic,
vigorous and persevering, and whenever the
navigation will permit steamboats to reach j
our wharves, we shall exhibit the liie, bustle :
and activity of prosperous business.
Penmanship. —The advertisement of Dr.
Lo .gnecker will be found in our oaper of
to-day, proposing to open, in this ciiv, a
W riting School. For evidence that he is
i ‘veil qualified to teach in this important
branch of a genteel education, we have been
referred to the certificates of Messrs. Alford
& Haralson, of Lagrange, and Dr. W iison
‘A lih.uns, of our cilv.
Dr. L. is also a Phrenologist, and will at
tend to those who wish cranial examination.
He may be found at the Columbus Hotel.

LEGISLATURE.
From our correspondent at Miiiedgeviile,
we learn that the elections f r officers of that
body have taken place, and resulted as ibl-
For President of the Senate,
Dougherty,(S;ate Bights.) 47
Echols, (Union,) 40

ed Secretary of the Senate.
Day, (Union,) was reelected Speaker of
•he House, over Meriwether, (State Rights,)
•he vote stood SS, So. Dyson, (Union.) was
elected Clerk ot the House by a large ma
jority, on tne first ballot. Our correspon
dent says, ‘ we have, 1 think, a majority of
one on joint ballot. Some of the opposition
j claim one, and others say it is a dead tie .’
; However it may he, it is certainly ‘ tick and

Better Tunes. —A lot of negro fellows
were sold at Sherifl’s sal?, in this city, on
Tuesday last, at prices varying from nine to
fowteen hundred dollars. The sale was of:
course for cash.
Cotton —Coming in more freely, and sell
ing very brisk at 11 3-4 cts. Business is re
viving—our town is quite lively.
• 'facon Races. —First and ty, mile heats, won
by Charlotte Barnes; second day, two mile j
heats, won by Ajarraii Harrison ; third day, 1
three mile heats, won by Alice Ann, and the!
tour mile day won by Gerow. Time in all’
the races very slow.
Flounce again.—The last M icon Mes-1
senger, a sort of Clay, Whig, Nullification
paper, flounces tremendously at a paragraph
inoneot our previous numbers, headed ‘ De
mocratic Triumph. 5 Poor fellows! what |
will Uiey do alter the election in IS 10 ?
Perhaps they will quit editorial occupa-:
lions and betake themselves to a constant
study of Bond’s famous speech. ‘They say
vve must be located somewhere off the road,
where the news don’t reach us often. Wheth
er we are on or oil the road, of one thing we
fee! confident, that our neighbors of the Mes
senger are out of the track, arid must be dis
tanced in the coming race. We would sav
to them, as to all desperate men, keep cool.
And mote than all, if the express mail does
not supply you with tiie news, just step down
to the Lyceum, and learn that Porter, Go
vernor elect of Pennsylvania, is a thorough i
going Van Buren man, and that Connecti
cut has very recently held her municipal elec
tions, in which the Administration Las gained
gloriously.
Indians. —The Conchatitnico and Walker’s
Town Indians, formerly residing on the Ap
alachicola river, have departed for the West.
The St. Joseph ‘Times, of tiie 24th ult., says,
that the steamboat Rodney arrived at the
depot, having on board these Indians, 2u9
in number, being the ‘ last of the Mohicans’
from West Florida. We congratulate the
inhabitants of thar pleasant section, upon the
prospect of peace and quiet now before them.
Steam packet JYeptune ashore. —This ves
sel, on her passage from Baltimore to Charles
ton, went ashore on the Horse Shoe, at the
mouth of Cane Fear river, on the 23d ult.,
with a pilot on board', while putting m tor
wood. The boat, it is said, will be got ofl
without injury. The passengers were taken
off and conveyed to Charleston by the Gov.
Dudley, Capt. Ivy.
Since writing the above, we learn, by a
slip from the office of the ‘Baltimore Ameri
can, that the Neptune arrived safe at Balti
more, and took her place in the line on Fri
day the 2d inst.
Counterfeits. —Look out for counterfeit $5
bills on the Slate Bank of Georgia ; VV. B.
Bulloch, President, A. Porter, Cashier, and
dated July 2d, 1336, payable in Savannah.
The signatures will be found, upon close
examination, to be engraven instead of writ
ten, and the entire appearance of the bill is
much darker than those which are genuine.
A man by the name of House was arrested
a few days ago in Macon, on a charge of
passing the above named bills. He stated
his residence to be near Quincy, in Florida.
CANADA.
Latest accounts exhibit this section of
country still in a very unsettled condition.
The Lieutenant-Governor has issued a pro
clamation, calling out a portion of the militia
of Canada to proiect the citizens against an
extensive conspiracy said to be funned in the
United States for the purpose of cooperating
with the Canada insurgents. We have a
most miserable gang of vagabonds banging
on the border line, who are ripe for ‘ treason,’
etc., and with all the efforts which have been
so promptly made by our general govern
ment, it will be impossible to preserve tran
quility until a few of the renegades are caught
and strung up.
V/e have no idea that Canada will ever
rest contented in tier present condition.—
When the spirit of liberty begins to burn, it
13 exceedingly difficult to quench.
UNBOUGHT TRIBUTE.
The following is an extract from a speech’
delivered by Air. lugenoll, at or near Phila
delphia, during the late canvass which result
ed in his election to Congiess. This is the j
man whom the opposition are pleased to cal,
3 tory.
‘ It firms no part, of my purpose to corn-,
pare the President with his competitors, with
; out ieferer.ee to whom Mr. Ye i Bureu has
; proved himself eminently worthy anJ capable,
lof the Chief Magi -traev. Many will not
I approve of his Aimim.iualion under any cir
cutnstances. Put those tvho put h at the
‘head of the country have I > <nd him a man ol
| talents, principle, si net rity, decision, and
| firmness, undc-t whose government the United
j States are prosperc s, and advancing, by
j simple institutions, to their great destiny;;
I tie Union is safe ; republican institutions are
j flourishing; our foreign relations are con-
I ducted by a sincere lover of peace, who will,
j nevertheless, we trust, maintain the honor of
j the greatest of republican empires; and our
i internal concerns are .settling upon that basis
lof tiue political economy which all modern
j intelligence and experience attests as the
i broadest and best. Mr. Van Buren lias not j
\ Gen.-Jackson’s personal popularity ; he never,
will have it. But though no victory ii.s!
ennobled, or veto illustrated his career, lie is
the author of ti:c greatest reform attempted in
ilf.s‘country, and a pilot who has weathered
many a storm more fearful than battie. Mis;
personal deportment has b en so unexcep-,
tionable, that he has probably not made an
enemy, while Mr. Cl \v. in Senate, is his per-]
sonal eulogist; and his friends have reason to,
b j ('ratified with ’ - conduct. Acons’ foruß* t
an and uiupcssiorate Americans must acknow
ledge tiie sterling merits ot his persona 1 Chief
Augi.s>faCy, v.tiitrn has disarmed opposition
ot most oi us materials, as bn measures have
dissipate, l tin 1 demerits ot panic and excite
ment 011 winch it throve. Calm but unfalter
ing, ikieienu 1 yet inflexible, adherence to
principle, without appeal to popular passion
or prejudice, with dignity, both personal and
official, he has engaged the attention, the
consideration, and the approval of an in
creasing majority of the people, on whose
intelligence and virtue he cast anchor. The
worst is over, much sooner than might have
been expected. The President'put his Ad
ministration on an issue which many of his
real, and a!i of his pretended, adherents, con
sidered fatal to him. But he lias proved the
wisest. Even if lie had {alien, it would have
been with honor untarnished, and a good con
science to repose upon afterwards. But lie
has risen; lie has succeeded ; lie wilt succeed ;
and Democracy no.v owes him a large debt
ot” at knowledgment.
This is not the language of flattery, or so
licitation, but of a calm, watchful, and even
critical observer, anxious indeed lor Mr. Van
Boren's well doing, hut determined, and
always ready, to denounce him if necessary.
It is vindication offered less for him than to
tiie Democratic interest with which his admi
nistration is identified, whose cohesion is
meant to cherish, not for the man, but for the
measures of which lie is the representative.
Jt is contradiction of indiscriminate opposition,
and discriminating support of the Adminis
tration, such as 1 deem the true ground of an
independent American.

TROUBLES IN HIE WIGWAM.
The contest is over—the enemy are tri
umphant. Is all lost ? is hope extinguished ?
No! 1 hold that there is virtue in the pco-,
pie; that notwithstanding they ruay be ltd
astray for a while, yet that they will rise su4
perior to all difficulties. Factious men tuul
demagogues may turn the tide of public
opinion; yea, political sophists may even
subvert reason herself, nevertheless time
and public opinion will dispel the impervious
cloud ol'deception—the sway of ignorance !
for I bold that there is virtue in the people !
What can I say of recent events in Geoigia?
shall we lament? shall we sit idly by and give
| up the ship? shall we remain passive specta
tors to our own defeat—to our own disgrace?
|‘ To be, or not to be,’ is the question. I say
j then that \veqe a formidable party; en-
I gaged as we are in the cause of democracy,
! which is emphatically the cause of liberty, of
| truth, of justice. I say, such being the case,
I as a necessary corollary, we must arid finally
j will prevail—for I entertain this sacred truth
! that there is virtue in the people. Great was
| the anxiety entertained by the opposition
! touching the results in Georgia. Vv ho do we
‘understand by the opposition 7 Those op
| posed to the administration? those opposed
| to the powers that be? or is the Sub-Trea
j ury to be the test question? If tue latter be
subject-matter at issue; if the Treasurv-de
i nounccrs are termed “opposition,” then the
j present Administration is in the ascendant.
| For it is admitted that a majority of the del
j egati'Mi elect, are supporters of this same
i Sub-Treasury scheme, concocted, as our op
| ponents say, in the corruption of Mr. Van
Buren, and backed and vouched for zealous
ly by Mr. Calhoun. What i3 to he done?
Time has brought about a union of the grand
antagonists. Shall the apo-fie of nullifica
tion be denounced ? Is the offence of so irre
parable a nature that it cannot be mended?
The *■ lit tie Magician’ is at the bottom of all
this—this Sub-Treasury humbug—to him all
the honor.
“Would any of the tribe of Barra L-ba*
sliould have it rather than a Christian.”
It lias been sain iLt tl— w'vty elected r< p
resentatives from Georgia, at least a majori
ty, are in favor of the aforesaid humbug;
but it appears that Mr. Cooper will, in the
even; the contest should he between Mr. Van
i Buren aid Mr. Clay, support the former,
j Should the Electoral College fail in its decis
ion we will call on Mr. Cooper. This opinion
[of the honorable member elect is the result
of mature reflection! calm investigation 1
Candor is a fine principle, especially when
united with calm philosophy. Nome of our
friends of the press would have Mr. Cooper
support Mr. Blank. Bat it appears that Mr.
Cooper philosophises fir Jiimse.'i. “'I is
wise,” Mr. Cooper, “ his well but no. the
the less a shame” in the e.ics of your party. -
Oil. philosophy! THoi'-'r.T a jewel! Mighty
and manifold will !*• the denunciations-; phials
of wrath will be cast at your devoted head.
.Mr. Conner, be you firm : in the hour of
trouble revet to your philosophy, id tnat
be vour consolation, your support ! It seems
to f j;e tp.it wo are approaching a great crisis
i;i our country’s affairs, the which will re
quire all the energy, talent and honesty of
o t:r public functionaries; then we shall call
upon Mr. Cooper, et id crane genus, to rush
to the rescue, to support the rights of the
people, to preserve the Constitution from the
ruthless hands of the Mountain. 1 say we
stand in need of a'l the help we can get.,
“The rioxous doctrine, abolition , is to Le
quashed in its germ.” “ The deadly sirocco,
nunification y is to he circumvented within
narrow limbs.” The all-important question
of the currency is to be settled. He that
w il he able so stand then will deserve the
thanks of mun and woman. For the
