They pretend to believe that the “apathy” will wear off; and that the causes which have given victory to the Whigs will subside. They calculate much upon the in- II nonco o( Government patronage, and upon the chances arising from a return of prosper ity. They think the country, like an exhaus ted patient in the hands of an empiric, has still within it the recuperative energies of 1 youth —and they tiincy that the recovery will produce forgot fulness of the vile quackery that lias been practised upon it. 'Flic New-York Times, edited by a termer supporter of Mr. Van Huron, speaks sensibly on inis subject. It says: “Tito measures of the administration, the war upon the institutions, currency, business * and happiness ot the People, tell the whole talc ot the causes of defeat, disaster and dis- I grace, which are so rapidly hurling the aulh ’ or’s of a nation’s suffering and a nation’s ru * | in, io that depth of grinning infamy to which 1 ; usurpers and tyrants have been consigned in 1 I every age of the world. * I “Wo rejoice not in the defeat of parly, but 1 j we rejoice m the good of our country ; anil as 1 ! the new tangled doctrine of parly has been to 1 s ipporl the leaders wo have chosen, and ns | those leaders have darted off’ into the region () of ‘‘untried expedients,” where we have not ( been ride iu conscience to follow them, we do () rejoice mid make known our gladness, to find (l the majority of Tim Pkoflk still with ns, () j with true hearted patriotism supporting repub -0 I beau institutions, and with the firmness ot ml freemen, demanding the practice ot Repubh i(i can doctrines and sentiments, m "Away ! then, with all tins miserable rant hi and hypocraey about Nic Diddle, bank putter, ip the oppression of wealth, the rag barons.— ip When recording tnese repealed expressions in of the deliberate judgement of the sovereign 0 people against (he insane and wicked meas m ures of the government—let the truth bo frank -10 ly own d, and let it lead to future ametiduieii'! >0 We boldly ask, against what individual citi •d a‘it iu lies or any other community when: an **' j election has been held, can any public journal ■*° j dare to charge corruption, bank influence ot i 1 ink bribery in the casting of Ire vote.' Ami * if the presumptuous libel on free government 1 i and Ibe integrity of our citizens, cannot be * affixed to a single man, how shall the bold an ’• thors of the charge from the I'reeident down (l ward justify themselves before an insulted 0 People? The People are taking the subject * into their own bands • the torrent of their in -1 dignation is gathering; every now election ’ pours in n new stream, and unless there be a 1 speedy retracing of “footsteps” it will burst | upon the authors with sweeping destruction.” !

Our neighbor of the Standard seems to ho much put to it, boon use of the ability and ad mirable foresight, with which the Governor of Georgia has conducted the whole course of preparation for the removal of the Chero kees. It is galling no doubt to our neighbor, that the present efficient and admirably de vised arrangements, should have been so hap pily executed by a Stac Rights Governor, and that too without burdening the already ctnpoverisbed treasury of the State, w th large draughts upon its too scat ty means, for that which by contract and for the most valuable consideration, the United States Treasury ought and (now) does hear. Rut it cant he helped, neighbor. We have unfortunately ’ for our coleinporary, got a Governor who j. has always gone straight ahead, in what he I bclievi (1 to he bis duty to bis country, no mat ter whom it might please or whom it might offend, lie has done bis duty with fidelity’, in mucli more trying times th.ei the present —lie lias in the conscientious discharge of Ins ' public trust, went forward, even in Hie teeth of popular excitement, and our neighbor may rest assured, ho will not falter now, in the ri ‘ gnl performance of a duty which runs with the current of popular opinion. The man who dares to do his duly, with a perfect knowledge of self-sacrifice by so doing, will hardly be driven from what is right, because his pditi -1 cal opponents fear that his course may add to 1 his already honorably merited popularity. Our coleinporary is not even backward in * his tone in regard to the Executive, by Ins s own right hand party friends. We notice ’ (with some surprize indeed) the honorable complimentary tribute paid to the Governor of ’ Georgia, in relation to bis course with the Clierokees, even by the leader of the party of I our cotemporary, the editor of the Richmond ' Enquirer. Is it not something singular, that a leading print of another State, and one quite . as much opposed to Gov Gilmer, politically, as the Standard of Union, should be found candid enough to do justice to the action oi ( our Chief Magistrate, while our cotemporary and others in Georgia, s mild he found stri- J ving to disparage the well earned reputation ul the Governor of their own State. From the Suut' rrn Itecordvr. From the current of public events which i| have been occunng for the last few months, . and particularly very recently, which prove n beyond ml question that Mr. Van Huron is ,1 totally out of the question, in relation to the , r next presidential term, wo are almost demos :1 | rid to discontinue our Tories of tacts in further i proofol his utter unfitness lor the office, so i; | fur as the South has any concern in the mat . I ter. So far as regards Mr. Van Boren and the ] next presidency, u would indeed be labor lost, t, «s all danger ofsuch a misfortune to theconu . try is at an end. But to stop the inisrepre i seniation on this subject, which some of our i cotemporaries in Georgia arc still, with a ta t : tiiiiyjand recklessness altogether unparalleled, ’ disposed lo impose upon the credulous and uninformed, wo shall at .'east subserve the cause of truth, and do a service to our own citizens, by continuing the series ofsuch facts and circumstances ns cannot be mistaken, and which will elfectua ly prevent imposition upon the public mind, in regard lo the vital subject of our domestic institutions. The following tall. to the Waslnngton Globe is taken Iroiu the Pennsylvania Fueema.n, an arrant and run mad abolition print; but a friend of the Administration, and an accredit. i‘d writer for the Democratic Review—a re view, by the by, got up and sustained by the patronage of the administration, and which 1 finds friends and subscribers in every Stale in i the Union, who style themselves Democratic Republicans— a mere parly tool, got up fur parly purposes, The facts which this writer so forcibly brings to view, showing the connection of (lie friends of the administration ut the north witii • the prevailing and pervading spirit of that ie• | gion in regard to our domestic institutions are I so perfectly unanswerable and overpowering, ( that he must he something greatly worse than stupid, who after reading them will yet pro- j ! tend to he unconvinced on (he point at issue. The candid ol all parties, wo have no doubt, will say that the facts exhibited settles the question beyond doubt and beyond question, | now anil forever. Wo will detain our readers j no longer from the extract referred to: From the Pennsylvania Freeman. Wc do not pretend to understand the char- | actor of modern democracy better than the i Globe, its accredited and official organ. The statements of that paper in regard to the ■ treachery of ihe great body of “the party” to ; ihe principles of old fashioned democracy, is ! wo fear too tiuc. But one thing is certain —in its extreme anxiety to secure the favor of the slave-holding South, it has overlooked a multitude of important facts, tending to show licit the principles of emancipation have found a resting place even under the.banners of modern democracy. The Globe speaks of the anti slavery resolutions of the Vermont and Massachusetts, Legislatures, as Whirr resolutions. Now is this the fad? The Van Buren candidates for Secretary of State and Lieut. Governor of Vermont, were both of ficers of Anti Slavery societies. The resolu tions in question, received the vote of both parties in the Legislature. The two last de mocratic, Van Buren, Conventions of that Slate; have openly expressed oblition princi ples. Some of the most active and influen tial members of the Van Buren party in the State, are local agents of the American Anti- Slavery Society. How is it in Massachusetts? The Massa chusetts Legislature contained Inst year more than 300 Van Buren members; of these only six voted against the “firebrand” resolutions. The Senate even went beyond the House; and Ihe Hon Seth Whileinarsh, who headed the Van Buren electorial ticket was one of the most eloquent and able advocates of abolition [gt its board- Hon. F. Bowman, another Van jjn, on member, said (bat lie believed the reso lutions would be ibe means of dissolving the Union, buifi ai he should nevertheless give them his vole. Was the Kditor of ilie Globe aware that the Van Bure. n candidate (dr Congress in Boston, at the last elco' 1 ' 011 was Amasa Walker a man almost as nolorio ~s f° r l )!8 abolition ism as Win Loyd Garrison? ho know that the Hon George Bancroft, a PP°mted collector of the port of Boston, has long been an abolitionist—and that on the fourth of July 183(5, he maintained the incendiary doci " ine before the assembled democracy of Hampdei. 1 county? Has the Editor read the letters of Judge Morton, Alexander H. Everett, and the democratic candidates for the Senate, in Mas sachusetts, to the enquiries of abolitionists ? Does he know that a large proportion ol the Van Bun n papers of the (State, are favorable lo abolition. “Then look at Rhode Island. Who intro duced a gag law into the Legislature of that State? A Whig—and Dutec J. Pierce, the Van Buren leader in the Slate, used his influ ence against it. The letter of Pierce, at the late election, to William M. Chace, Secreta ry of the auii slavery Society, is full ot ultra “fanaticism,” and would condemn him before any court of Judge Lynch. Even Gov. Hill, of New Hampshire who bears about his own person ihe democracy of the Slate, tells the abolitionist in a recent letter, that he is in fa vor of a State law, contravening the law of Congress, and granting a jury Inal to persons claimed us fugitive slaves. “What has the Globe lo say in reference to the abolition tendencies of the able organ of the party, in New York—the Evening Post? j What ot the combined democracy ami abolu tion of William Legget—the ablest defender which has yet appeared of the Sub-Treasury Scheme? What ot Thomas Morris, tlie Van ' Buren Senator of Ohio, and the only manly advocate of immediate abolition ut the Senate board? ‘•But enough. We commend the above | facts to the editor of the Globe, a- evidence • | that, ihe Northern ami Easiern friends of Mar -5 j tin Van Buren, are not all prepared lo bo sold ' ! in the Southern market—and that however powerful may he the machinery ol party, truth ■ is stronger than ail.” i Lower Canada. j Montreal, May 7th.

It gives the children a lasto for read ing—it communicatee all the important events ■ that arc passing in the busy world—it is a , never failing source of amusement—and fur nishes a fund of instruct on that will never be exhausted. Every family, however poor, if they wish to hold a place in the ranks of ■ intelligent beings, should lake at least one i newspaper. And the man, who, possessed of 1 property sufficient to make himself easy for ' life, and surrounded with children eager for i knowledge, is instigated by the vile spirit of i cupidity, and neglects to subscribe to a news , 1 paper, is deficient in the duties of a parent or i | a good c tizen, and is deserving of censure i | from his intelligent neighbors. , 1 Put son Kyis op Will. —General Gaines made application yesterday to the First Judicial Dis j trict Court ot this City for the release of a num ber of negroes, whom their masters from Florida had claimed and seized by viriue of a writ ot se questration. They were found among the Semi | noles when they surrendered, and were regarded i as prisoners of war. Under these circumstances 1 they are treated as members of the hostile tribe. Their owners, however, having heard of their j capture, pursued them to New Orleans, and by | the help of the law slopped their march to the Far West. The application of the General pro- I ved unsuccessful, the Court having overruled his motion. The negroes will now remain in the custody of the Sheriff, until the qucsiion ot ownership is decided.—lt appears to us that the ! government merit some censure in this transac- I lion. The fact was well known that many run i away negroes were among the Sominolos, belon ging to planters in Florida and Georgia, and yet they a>o hurried off to the West without enquiry, or giving their masters any opportunity to claim ; or identify them.—JV*. O. Bulletin. The Washington Spy complains with great justice, of a piece of infamous trickery practiced , upon it, most probably by the notorious William I Garrison. This maw in his paper pretends that the Southern Spy was sent him, with a polite re quest to exchange. The Editor of the Spy puls himself to the unnecessary trouble of denying the [matter; we say, unnecessary trouble, for surely the friends of the Spy cannot believe such a charge, and judging by ourselves, we know that the opponents of the Spy, are sure that it is only one of die many falsehoods which issue from the same Mint. Such calumnies can meet with hut one feeling in Georgia, by all parties—that of the j most sovreign contempt. Our contemporary of the Spy, as well as its coadjutors of live press, may ami do, (as we think,) unfortunately diller very widely with ourselves and the party with which we are associated on most political subjects; bnl on the subject of utter and uncompromising hos tility to tbe incendiaries of the day, there is but one feeling in Georgia, and vve dare say, fob by none in a stronger degree, than by our Washing ton cotcmporary. — Southern Recorder .

They have actually knocked ns into a three corner*, oil cocked hut—allowing us democrats the xdusive privilege of having three Senators, nut of twenty one —and about enough to make a small ‘grease spot’ in the House! In short, they have swept the Slate highand dry, alter the locust, fashion. Really, if this ain’t goin the ‘big figure, ’ vve’ro no judge—that’s all. From the New York Mirror. The Young Bride. Observe that slow and solemn tiead, when the ‘'ouiig hr;dc takes her wedded one by the arm al’d with downcast looks and a heavy hear* tun., 3 her lace from “sweet home,” and all its’associations, which have (or year-been growing, and brightening, and entwining so closely around tile purest and tenderest (ech inus ot the heart. Ht.w reluctant that step, us°sho moves towards the carnage—how elo quent those tears, which rush unhidden from ineir fountain ! She has just bade adieu to her home ■' She I has given the parting hand—the parting ! 1 With deep and struggling emotions she has pronounced the farewell! and oh, how fond, 1 and yet mournful u spell tins word breathes! { and, perhaps, ’lis the lust farewell to father, mother, brother, sister 1 , j Childhood and youth, the sweet morning 1 of life, with its “charm of earliest birds,” and j earliest associations, have now passed. Now commences a new—a monotonous period of . I existence! Ot (Ins she is well aware. She reads in living characters — uncertainty , assu ' tiling that where all was peace—where all i was happiness—where home, sweet, home, I was all in ail to her. But these ties, those i associations, these endearments, she has yiel ded, one by one, and now she has broken them all asunder! She has turned her face I from them ail, and witness how she clings to I [ the arm of him., fofwhom all these have been j [ exchanged! See how she moves on; the world is before j her,and a history lobe written, whose pages t _ : are to he lilled up with life’s loveliest pencel ; lings, or, perhaps, with incidents of eventful interest—of startling, fearful record / Who can throw aside the veil even of “threescore years and ten,” for her, and record the happy and sun-bright incidents that shall arise m succession, to make joyous and full her cup | of life—‘that shall throw around those embels • lislnnents of the mind and heart, that which crowns the domestic circle with beauty and , loveliness; that winch sweetens social inter , course, and softens, improves, and elevates | | the condition of society? Or who, with firm , | and unwavering hand, can register the hours ( and days of affectionate and silent weeping . —of midnight watching! Who pen the , bludilcd hopes—the instances of unrequited love —the loneliness and sorrow of the conti dina• heart —the deep, corroding cares of the mind, when neglected and forgotten, as it were, by him who is dearer to her limn life— when all around is sere and desolate—when the garnered stores are wasted, and the weds dried up, and the flickering blaze upon the ■ hearth wanes, and goes out ! and leaves her in solitude, in silence, and in tears ! Bui [ her affections wane not, slumber not, die not! The brilliant skies may shed down all their . Maddening beauties; nature array herself in gay flowers, bright hopes—and friends, kind friends, may greet with laughing cminlenan , ccs and glad hearts; hut all avails naught. One kind look—one soft and affectionate accent, the unequivocal evidence ot remain ' ing love,* one smile like that which wooed and won that heart, would enkindle brighter i /ami deeper, and lovelicr.etnolions at iu foun ; lam, than Heaven, with all its splendor, and . ear.h, with all its beauties, and gay assoeia, j lions. i Oh! young man, even bo to ihy y, mn „ . bride, then, what thou seemett now to he* ; disappoint her not!

Prove thyself f worthy of all she has sacrificed. Let it ever r ho her pleasure, as now, to cling with cons - tiding joy and love to that arm. Let it he her f stay, her support, and it shall bo well repaid. . i Hers is an enduring—an undying love? Pros.' ■ | parity will strong;hen it—adversity will briidi! i ten and invigorate if, and give to it addttonal lusiio and loveliness! Should the hand of die case full upon thee, then wilt thou behold woman’s love—woman’s devotion! for thou wilt never witness her -pi-its wax faint and drooping at thy couch! When thine own are tailing, she will cling to thee like a sweet vine, and diliu.se around thy pillow those sweet influences and attractions that shall touch I lie master springs and noblest passions of ihy nature—that shall give new impulse to J.
