It will appear to-morrow.
Chops.—We are gratified in being able
from observation, that the growing crop
Mr i n the upper interior of our state is of a promising
I character. If the seasons continue, the corn crop
I will be one of the finest raised in that section o(
the state for many years. Cotton also looks
well.
The ship Saluda, Cupt. Walters, arrived at
Philadelphia on the 29th ult.Jroin Liberia, Wes 1
Africa. In the Saluda came several passengers,
among them were colonists, who came to supply
themselves with merchandize. The U.S. Gazelle
says, ‘-Dr. Goheen, one of the passengers, brought
with him an Ourang Outang, the largest and clev
erest we ever saw, walking as upright ns a child
of three or four years old, and evincing a sagacity
altogether remarkable.”
Tiik British Queen Steam Shit.—The
N. Y. Courier and Enquirer, says: We perceive
this steam ship, which, if the accounts which
have reached us in relation to her be not exager
ated, certainly exceeds in size, and equals, it not
supasses in the convenience and splendor of her
I equipments, the steam ships which now cross the
Atlantic, is announced in the London papers to
leave that city on the 29th ultimo, and Ports
mouth on the Ist instant. We have been favor
ed with the annexed extracts of letters concern
ing her, from Glasgow and London, dated 11th
and 12th ultimo. She was, we are informed,
fast filling with passengers. The main saloon
was full, and but a few more births in the other
bins were to spare.
The engines of the British Queen are now
pleted on board, and she will leave the Clyde
for London on the 17lh ins Can. 1 , «nd sail forN.
Y. on the first of July, unless some accident in
tervenes.” _
The last number of the “Spirit of the Times
has a large and well executed engraving of the
well known blood hone John Bascomde, now
owned by Mr. Crow el, of Alabama. The cn
gravingis by Dick from a painting by E.Tuotb.
Great additional value is given to the “Spirit” by
these fine engravings. In other respects too, it
is one among the best conducted periodical in the
United States.
Dispatch.— A person just returned from Wash
ington City, has been gone six and a halt days
only, two of which were spent in that city—was
travelling about 118 hours, say 50 each way, with
an opportunity of sleeping a greater part of two
nights in each passage, on board the steam boats
between this city and Wilmington, and 6 or 8
hours on board the steam boat Augusta, between
Potomac Creek and Washington.
The whole distance is 545 miles, of which 290
miles are by steam boats, 245 by rail road, and 70
by stages." It is said, however, that the staging
will lie reduced 20 miles by the Ist August, and
10 miles per month after, by the progressive com
pletion of the Wilmington and Roanoke Rail
Road. The whole of this route is one of dispatch
good order and comfort, as far as such a term can
be applied to rapid travelling.
Every exertion is made by the oflicers and
agents of the respective steam boats and rail roads
to make this a popular route.— Charleston Cuur.

What is Democracy '“Who shall decide
when Doctors disagree 1” We happen to have
before us the opinions of three distinguished Doc
tors of Democracy, which we subjoin lor the
amusement of our readers:—
Democracy. —Democracy is the child of light;
and adopts every enfranchising truth, that time
and genius and the public mind may develope.
The masses of wealth, we admit, are against it.—
Can the same he said of intelligence 1 Have the
gifted minds of our nation been the adversaries
of democracy. —Salem Adv.
“We are for POLITICAL Republicanism,
and not for the destruction of the FORMS and
INSTITUTIONS OF SOCIAL SOCIETY !
In POLITICS, all American citizens are equal.
In SOCIAL LIFE, the UNEDUCATED, the
LOW, the brutal, and the VULGAR, haveno
mure tasie for Polished Society than Polished
Society have for their company. THE\ DO
NOT ASSIMULATE BECAUSE IT IS NO 1
AGREEABLE TO EITHER.” — Mobile Reg.
“And now as Truth with glowing lustre shines,
Before her beams Democracy declines ;
Vain are all arts her baffled leaders try,
And vain alike, to flatter or to he.
From their long sleep alarm'd the people rise,
And spite of sophisms, learn to trust their eyes.

More Retrospection.
We gave to our readers on Saturday a pretty
copious extract from the “Narrative” of Wm. J.
Duane. Understanding that it has been gener
ally acceptable to our readers, and has made some
of them open their eyes wider than they ever did
before, we have determined to lay before them
another extract from “the book,’ which will carry
the mind of the reader back to the summer of
1833 with more vivid reality perhaps than what
wc have already published.
After having brought his Narrative to a close,
Vfr. Duane appends to it the following:
L
“When, in 1834, I had occasion to address
my fellow-citizens, I desired to sustain my me
mory by my letters written while I was in ollicc
to mutual friends of the President and myself;
am'as I had not kept copies of them, the origi
nos, at my request, were returned to me. Os
e. ,nese, constituting a sort of diary or record of my
ar * feelings, sentiments, and acts, I was inclined to
form another chain, but the number is so eonsid
t erable, and so much of the substance is already
embraced in the preceding narrative, that I now
present four only of my familiar letters. These
are selected so as to represent my impressions at
four distinct periods. The first letter was writ
ten after I was offered, but before 1 accepted,
office; and shows my reluctance to accept it.—
The second was written after 1 accepted, but be
fore I had entered, office; and shows some of my
motives for consenting to serve. The third,
written while I was in office, represents my feel
i ing and sentiments at that time. And the fourth,
r written after my retirement to private life, shows
my impressions at that, to me, interesting mo
ment.”
The two first of those letters, though interest
ing, describe only the personal feelings of the
writer, which were such as to do credit to his in
’ tegrity as well as his sensibilities. Hut the third
r and fuurt/i Letters arc highly instructive, and
, we copy them below, without any alteration, ex
cept the Italics, which are ours, not Mr. D.’s and
will serve to direct the reader’s attention to the
3 most remarkable passages in these Letters.
Washinoton, August 23, 1833.
“ However grievous i , may be to
1 suppose such a thing, it is true that Tin; he is an
' IRRESFONSI BLK C.ARAL THAT HAS MOHE FUWKII
, THAN THE PEOPLE ARE AWAHK OF. Wc IllUSt
not wonder that the President has not withstood
the extraordinary influences that have been around
- him. Constant attacks upon him naturally led
t him to lean upon those who defended him. The
vast number of applicants for office, and the char
acter of their solicitations, have sapped his confi
dence in the purity of men ; so that he seems to
r suppose that all have their prices. And then,
the incessant torrent of adulation has had the
effect to persuade him that he positively is the
infalliiile person his flatterers represent him
! to be. Human nature is the same at all times,
and in all places. Alexander hired a person to
rtmimi him, every day, that he was hut a man ;
and yet lie struck down Clytus because he doubl
ed his descent fiom Ammon—the same Clytus,
- who had saved his life in battle. Napoleon also
became as spoiled a.child as was ever dandled on
the lap of fashion. I might enumerate many
other instances of such frailty. The President
1 himself is not sensible of his change, or of his
true position; and, if one were to hint this, it
might be deemed an insult. Need I tell you that
my devotion to him was genuine] nr
t” him as a mere man, but as one taken froiffibe
1 ranks of the pure people. I thought that, com
ing from them, he would retain the stamp of
their unadulterated principles. What motive can
I have for differing] What inducement have I
not for concurring ] Dull can only concur in
what I can defend and applaud, in the midst of a
wilderness, during the perils of the sea, or on the
bed of death.
“ The person you mention, Mr. Kendall, I
have seen hut four times in my life, up to the
present hour; and at no time have I been in his
presence longer than about ten minutes. All I
can say is, that his coriifucV !jx Mr. H. Clay nev
er seemed to rne to he that of a pure miTiV. Con
sequently, as it is in my nature to be repelled or
attracted at once. I have obeyed my impulse in
avoiding him. He is a man of great power ns a
writer, as the Sunday mail report, veto, &c„
prove. So that it is natural that the President
should lean upon him; and so ho has a right to
do. What I object to is, that there is an under
current — a sly, whispering, slandering system
pursued that is utterly mischievous and cruel.
So intense is the anxiety of Mr. Van Uuren to
succeed, that he favors those who have private
access to the President’s cars. The latter is very
anxious for Mr. V’s success. The apprehended
i separation of the party induced the friends of the
; latter to desire to have a flag up, to rally fora
fight. All this may he very well; hut, when they
i want me to hoist the flag, I must pause and ask,
is that one of my public duties 1 was I brought
here to be a public, executioner, not only of oth
ers, but ot myself ]
“ I am just beginning to feel that, in this sta
tion. I might ‘do the slate some service.’ I came
here very reluctantly, knowing my deficiencies,
and the proneness of men to cavil and condemn,
i Now. that I am here, I should like to -try’ wheth
er I could not do some good; and of course, on
1 that account, should regret a change. Otherwise,
it would contribute to my tranquillity. The cri
i sis must soon arrive. If nothing to alter rny
present views shall arise, I must decline to remove
the deposiles. A dismissal (for such would be a
i compulsory resignation) would be a sad example
to future officers. It will be a cruel blow to me,
but one under which I must not stagger or fall.
Think of this—in a letter to me, the President
said ‘it is not rnyj| intention to interfere with the
independent exercise of the discretion committed
to you by law over the subject.’ One would
think this conclusive; and so, perhaps, it would
be, if he were left to himself ; but I tell you,
Catos and Ciceros are not as numerous here as
Oatiltnis and Cethkousks. The New York
pernicious and immoral doctrine, that we arc not
a common family, and that there is a perpetual
warfare for ‘the spoils,’ has many followers here.
The great and common good of all is deemed
a chimera ! This rests upon a low estimate of
human nature, and makes us Tartars in principle
and savages in practice. My notions, resting up
on an elevated conception of the goodness of
Providence, arc far different. Ido not believe in
the saying, “ homo hondni lupus ” —that men
are, or were meant to be,beasts to prey upon each
other, fdo not believe that our form of govern
ment is founded on a conviction of man’s base
ness, but upon an assurance that the mass mean
well, and are able to protect themselves against
the abuses of individuals. Lorenzo Dow or the
Mormonites could not preach a doctrine more in
comprehensible to the folks here than mine is. I
mourn to say it.
“ I have thus opened my heart, and hut a little,
to pour some of its contents into the crucible of
your judgment; so that, if any result shall be
I heard, that may make you regret my position,
you may know what were my motives and feel
ings, and see that I shall hear it as a man should
do who has nothing to reproach himself with.”
, “Philadelphia, October 7, 1833.
« I have received your letter,
■ enclosing extracts from some of the Pittsburgh
I papers. Great freedom, I confe-s, is taken with
1 me; but, as I have passed through thirty politi
’ cal campaigns, I arn not much annoyed by paper
F shots. And, yet, I have just now sent ‘a card’ to
t the newspapers, which, I forscc, will not please
the ultras on either side. My desire was to he
, | silent, and I will remain so if possible. You will
admit, however, that it is not a trifle, when ‘the
* great Globe itself insinuates that my bite course
was the effect of bank influence! that is, the offi
cial paper, almost the only one the President
; reads, and whose editors really are his special
confidants, insinuates, by quotation, that the same
means which, it says, converted Mr. Webb and
others, and changed me ! A man ma t have no
small stock of good nature, ns well as of con
scious innocence, to bear this calmly i end, as yet,
Ido so bear it, I assure you. With ns much
truth and decency might I say that Mr. Taney
had been bribed by the State banks. The sland
erers themselves do not believe what they say of
me ; and. if any one else does, the day of my jus
tification must at Inst arrive.
“The belief that this will be so cheers me
amidst flatteries on one side, and menaces on the
other. Some persons are now cordial who used
to be reserved ; and some are now surly who used
to be cordial! Such is this queer world! The
former, perhaps, think I must now change my
opinion of the bank, because the Pres dent sanc
tions a persecution of me; if so they are mistaken;
ami the latter suppose that their chilling looks
will make me regret my resistance against the
President, which is as great a mistake as the
other, in short, it seems to be thought strange
that I should have refused to worship man or
mammon either! It seems to be supposed that
there must have been some secret in the business!
Now, I scarcely need tell you that the oidy se
cret was this—l did not choose to be frowning
upon myself for the remainder of my life, as
would have been the case if, to please the Presi
dent or benefit myself, I had betrayi d my trust
to the country. Who would not be Carnot, the
opposer of Napoleon in his strides to power, ou B
Ins friend in adversity, rather than Talleyrand,
who fawned upon him in prosperity, but deserted
him when -fallen from his high estate V Were
the President to become a Belisarins, not one of
his creatures, now in his confidence, would guide
his steps —what I would do, after all his injustice
to me, I need not say to you.
“The truth is, I consider the President intox
icated with power and flattery. ‘Constant
dropping wears away stones.’ Why, indeed,
should we be surprised that lie bent under the
influence of such passions as, in ancient and
modern times, overcame men greater by nature
and education than he is 1 It is the fact, that
men change, that makes a republic preferable to
a monarchy. Washington and Jefferson would
not trust themselves with power longer than
eight years. Gen. Jackson was, at one time, sC
fearful of the influence of power and passion up
on himself that ho was in favor of limiting ser
vice in the Presidency to four years! But what
a revolution do we behold ! Now he is not only
content to sit in power for eight years, but desir
ous to transfer it to a favorite! Such is the effect
of power and flattery! Are you amazed 11
am not; the matter is easily explained. When
he came into office, the President supposed that
lie would find such purity at Washington, espe
-1 daily among his supporters, who had been mak
i ingso many professions. Instead of that, he
found the leaders at the heads of factions, each
i desiring to drive (he conch of state. He found
1 Ins tables gioining under the weight of petitions
; for offices. He saw several of the late friends of
his competitor standing, with caps in hand, to
I catch the falling ciumbs. He heard adulation
e from everybody—plain truth from nobody. He
s came into office to be the friend of a whole Peo-
I pie, but he became the mere purveyor for the hun
■ gry expectants of discordant factions. In short,
- all the circumstances around him were calculated
' to rmi'.t" him entertain an exalted opinion of him
self, and a one of others. His
own natural passions taiptributcd to this result.
Such is my explanation—my .apology, it you
please. He is changed, or else we knew iMcn
not.
This, however, is not the darkest cloud in the
political firmament. To hear people talk, you
would suppose that if Cesar were to grasp a
crown, there would be no Brutus to protest
against his putting it on. This is a sail omen.
Indeed, it is every day said that the President
can break down any one. If this is true, it is a
mournful truth; for it amounts to a command to
he silent, to avoid being crushed ! If we need
not dread Gen. Jackson personally, ought we not
to he alarmed at his example 1 Arc we sale,
when we see so many ready to sustain him,
r phi or wrong ? These, I repeal, are sad omens
and our republic could not long endure, if our
territory was small, our population dense, and it
we bad not State Governments.
“So little control has the King of the French
over the pull c purse, that he could not honor a
draft, drawn upon the faith of a treaty. The
King of England, in his appeals to Parliament,
on money matters, uses language almost suppli
catory Here, in our own Pennsylvania, the
Governor is absolutely deprived of all agency
concerning the public money; the custody of it
is given to our Stale Treasurer, who bolds bis of
fice independently of the Governor, and is annu
ally elected by the Legislature. Yet. in onrboas
ted Federal Government, where the purse ought
to he under the immediate control of the Repre
sentatives of the People, the Piiksikknt, wrests
it from their agent, and distributes the money
among greedy competitors for it, well disposed,
if required, to exercise political or olhci influence
in payment for the boon 1
“This proceeding 1 have not yet heard any one
hold enough to justify. The usual excuse is,
that the President’s intentions are pure. No
doubt he has some patriotic motives. No one
supposes that he means to aggrandize himself.—
Nevertheless, he is operated upon by resentments
within, and influence without. His resentment
may he natural at many hitter attacks. The in
fluences are of two kinds : one to accomplish po
litical purposes, through affiliated hanks; the
other, to make money by land and stock opera
tions. 8o that, however correct some of the mo
tives of the President himself may he, jobbers in
politics and slocks have been the true agents in
promoting tale occurrences.
“But what a dangerous course, to make mo
tives an excuse! Who can tell what motives
predominate! Who or w hat is safe, if acts may
he excused by the allegation of the actor that his
intentions were good ! Every body believed,be
fore Clough was tried, that lie had murdered Mrs.
, Hamilton; but if any one had hanged him, even
' after his conviction and escape, it would have
’ been murder, if not done under sentence. The
case of the bank, surely, was not clearerthan that
of Clough, if it had sinned, the law pointed out
j the mode of trial; but the way provided by law
was designedly shunned the bank was taken
I out, as it were, and executed, without im/uiry,
jury, orjudge ; and, because ! would not be the
executioner, 1 deserve to be executed too, I sup
pose! What a happy state of things in this age
: of intellect!” *

Important Letter.—The following state
ment from R. M. Whitney—who has just returned
from a visit to Vicksburg—will be read with in
terest, as throwing some light on the condition
and management of the Commercial and Kail
Road Bank of Vicksburg; as well as upon the
prospects of the Slate of Mississippi.— Hal. Chron.
Philadelphia, June 28.
To the publisher of the North A merit an :
In your paper of yesterday, speaking of the de
cline that took place the day previous in the price
of the stock of the Commercial and Rail Rood
Rank of Vicksburg, you say : “This heavy fall of
over $3 per share since yesterday, is attributed to
a letter said to be written by Mr. R. M. Whitney,
addressed to the Stockholders, and representing
things in a bad condition. It certainly requires
some such elucidation to account for so heavy a
decline in one day.”
The letter in question was principally for the
purpose of repelling assaults made on me iudivid
ually, in a letter addressed to Henry 'Poland, Esq.
and others, signed by the Cashier and two ol the
present Directors of the Rank, which 1 did not
1 see or know of, until after my return to this place
from Vicksburg.
In the letter referred to, F said in conclusion,!
■ deem it my duty to state, that “the result of all my
inquirieson the point in which lire stockholders
are most dee ply interested, (the restoration of the
Rank l»a sound condition, to prosperity and use
fulness,) was this—with an entire change of the
present administration of the bank, and the adop
tion of the proper and necessary measures. I was
assured hy sonic of those who were wo 1 ! acquain
ted with its atlliirs, that ultimately the losses
would he very inconsiderable, but all agreed that,
while the bank remain in charge of the present
conductors, its atl'nirs are getting ami will contin
ue to get worse and worse daily. From my own
observations I should be inclined to confirm their
opinions,” I added :
“It is hardly possible for a person who does
not witness it, to form any opinion whatever ap
proaching the reality of the vast natural recupera
tive faculties which the Stale of Mississippi pos
sesses. I fully believe that three crops at most
will completely disenthral and regenerate it from
its present pecuniaiy embarrassments.”
I ask you the favor to publish this in your pa
per of to-morrow morning, that there tuny be no
misapprehension on the part of those interested,
us to what I did say in the letter to which you
have referred.
Respectfully R. M. WHITNE.T.

i An Irishman’s Wais anii Means- to day
i I ms Rest.—“ You know the sloiy of the Knight
’ ot' Ksry mid Hilly M’Cabe ?” “I fear I must
confess my ;’ —* never hcaid of it.”—
“Then, may he you lioVeV knew tides Daxoul”
“1 have not that pleasure either/’ ‘ ‘-bL'Ord bless
me, how strange that is! I thought he was be tier
known than the Duke of Wellington, or the tra
velling piper. Well, I must tell you iho story,
for it has a moist too—indeed, several morals;
hut you’ll find that out for yourself. Well, il
seems, that, one day the, Knight of Kerry was
walking along the Strand in London, killing an
horn’s tuce, till the House was dona prayers,
and Hume tired of beating himself speaking; his
; eye was caught by an enormous (ielure display
ed upon the wall of a bouse, representing a bu-
I man figure covered with long, dark hair, with
huge nails upon bis hands, nnda most fearful ex
pression of lace. At first, Ilia Knight llmught
it was Dr. Iluvmng ; but. on coining nearer, lie
heard a men with »• scarlet livery, and a. cocked
hat, call out, ‘Walk in Indies and gentlemen—
the most veiw-lerful performances ever exhibited
—only one shilling—the vi d man from Clnppoo
wango, in Afcrcey—eats law wittals, without
.being cooked, ami many other surprising and
pleasing performances.’ the Knight paid bis
money, ami won admitted. At first, the crowd
prevented bis seeing any thing—lor the place
was full tosu(location, am) the noise awful—for,
besides the exclamations and applause of the
x alienee, there were three barrel-organs playing
•Home sweet Home!’ and ‘Cherry Ripe,’ and
the wild mart himself cnntiibuted his share to
the uproar. At last, the Knight obtained, by
dint of squeezing, and some pushing, a place in
the front, when., to lib very great horror, he be
held a figure that far eclipsed the portrait without
doors. It was of a man marly naked, coveteii
with long shaggy hair, that grew over his nose
and check bones. We sprang about, sometimes
• on his feet, sometimes on all-fours, but always
uttering fearful yells, and glaring on the crowd,
in a manner that was really dangerous. The
Knight diil net feel exactly happy at tin 1 whole
proceeding, andbegaii hcarlby to wish himself
hack in the House,’ even upon a Committee of
Privileges, when, suddenly, the savage gave a
more frantic scream than before, and seized upon
a morsel of raw t«ef, which a keeper extended
I to him upon a Fong fork, like a tandem whip—
he was not safe, it appears, at close quarters;—
this he tore to pieces, eagerly, and devoured, in
the most verocious manner, amid great clapping
of hands, and other evidences ofsatisfart on, from
the aud’eticc. ‘l’ll go, now' thought the Knight;
for Coil knows whether, in his hungry moods,
h ■ might not fancy to conclude his dinner widi
a Member of Parliament. .lasi at this instant,
s mie sounds struck upon Ids ear, that surprised
i him not a little. He listened more attentively;
and conceive, if you can, his amazement, to find
that, amid his most fearful cries, and wild yells,
the savage was talking Iri-h ! Laugh if you
like; hut it’s truth I am tilling you; nothing
less than Irish. Then he was jumping four feet
high in the air, eating his raw meat, pulling out
his hair hy handbills; and, amid all this, cursing
the whole company to his heart's content, i u m
good Irish as ever was heard in Tralee.
Now, though the Knight had heard of red
Jews, and while Negroes, lie never happened to
hear of an African Irishman; s>, he listened
very closely, and, hy degrees, not only the words
were known to him, hut the very voice was fa
i miliar. At length, something lie heard left no
i further doubt upon his mind, and turning »o the
wage. he addressed him in Irish, at the same
lime fixing n lonk of most scrutinizing import
upon him.— ‘Who ore you, you scoundrel 1’ said
the Knight. ‘Billy M’Cahe, your Honor.’ ‘And
what do you inrun by playing off these tricks
here, instead of earning your bread like an hon
est man V ‘Whisht!’ said Billy, ‘and keep llv
secret. I'm earning the rent for your Honor.—
One must do many a queer thing, that pays two
pound ten an acre for had laud.’ This was
enough: the Knight wished Billy every success,
and left him, amid the vociferous applause of a
well-satisfied audience. This adventure, it.
seems, has made the worthy Knight a great friend
to the introduction of Poor Laws; for he re
marks, very truly, That mine of Billy’s country
men might take a fancy to a savage life, if the
secret were found out.” —Dublin University
