JUTihe celebration of the 4th was not received in time for 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. from the Mobile Advertiser. 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. [ Wm. C. Bryant, Ed. N. V. Even. Post. - IT ' ' ~ ' from the National Intelligencer. 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!

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.

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 M ■ tine, COMMERCIAL.
