FREEDOM OF ELECTIONS.
To the Editor e s the Evening Slur:
km —Our government has been defined to
be a reprsentalive democracy, with the exper
intent of a confederacy of Slates. Os late
years many of onr most enlightened and pa
triotic citizens have been lod to view this ex
periment with deep anxiety.
For my part, I now look with more respect
than I formerly did, upon the intuitive appro,
hensions of Patrick Henry, of n conaolidatod
government, and a usurpin'? Executive; nl
the sumo time, I have examined with more
care, the settled opinions of Iho profound and
sagacious Franklin, who abhorred a single
Executive, ami the corrupting influence of
lucrative oilices, and employments. To these,
1 may add, the strong repugnance of Mr. Jes
Person.
I yield to no one in sincere respect for the
writers of tha “ Pederalis*,” especially for
Mr. Madison ; but it is now evident that those
pure and accomplished statesmen placed too
high an estimate on our republican virtue. It,
is wonderful how much of their plausible and
apparently conclusive reasoning, lias been
east lo the ground by lamentable experience.
Judging from their own honesty of purpose,
and their anxious desire to relieve their coun
try from existing and impendin r evils, they
never dreamt of such a scene of corruption
as is now displayed in this nation. Mr. Mad
ison, who seemed to confide so securely on
the remedy by impeachment, against the Pre
sident and heads of departments, to prevent
or punish all abuses from that quarter, seems
never to have imagined that it might prove a
dead letter to the constitution. Yet a popu
lar President, and to be elected at all, the pre
sumption is that ho is so, would of course
have a party majority in the House of Hep
resenlatives, who would refuse to vole an im
peachment against tin 5r own chief and bis
rmbo-ilinate officers, if that chief should think
proper to prohibit those oilicers. It is also
remarkable that those sagacious sfalesmon in
discussing the subject of the President's pat
ronage, entirely overlooked that arising from
the Post Office, with its small contracts, prin
ting and jobs of various kinds, constituting
such a formidable army of retainers and de
pendants. Hut we cannot at this day reflect
without wonder at the total indifference, or at
least oversight in the (ranters of the Constitu
tion, in not making some provision for secu
ring the freedom of elections, the very life of
civil and political liberty! The bill recently
introduced by Mr. Hell, into the House ol
Representatives, is perhaps the first attempt,
by practical legislation, to secure this vital
principle. And yet the dangers threatening
it, were long ago announced by Mr. Jefferson;
nod in the writings and messages coming
from lien Jackson, the name warning has
bean repeated ; hut in the latter innlauce
without sincerity, if wo may judge by con
trasting his practice with Ins precepts; and
with I ke insincerity on the part of those of
his followers, who make the same professions,
as will bn seen by their votes on the law pro
posed by Mr. Roil. The leaders of the party
tire not disposed to pay oven this homngo lo
patriotism; they disdain all political hypo
crisy, and go at aid for the spoils, and identi
fy themselves in principle w.tli the robber and
pirate.
Mr. II 'll deserves the gratitude of his coun
try, (or bringing this important subject before
Congress. Although I believe the provisions
of this bill, even if adopted would fall far
short of remedyin the evil, yet it may pre
pare lha way tor something nnro effectual.
His speech in support of it ought to bo placed
in the hands of every American freeman; it
is manly, and free from all narrow dishonest
parly spirit. There is but one topic in it to
which I should lake exception, and that is
what is said by him respecting the unpopu
larity of the U. States Bank. Here lam com
pelled to join issue with him, mid to assert
that it is historically trim that Iho Bunk was
popular. This was demonstrated by the pass
age ofihe law rnchartering the Bank, in spite
ot executive influence, one of the few instan
ces during Jackson's administration in which
the majority of the legislature has ventured
to disregard his ilimations. The Jackson
party in the northern anil middle stales, with
the exception of a tew individuals, would more
readily have applauded his approval oftho law >
than they did his veto, although no doubt
ready to atmrove either. Mpn of business in
every purl* the Union were in favor ot it.—
Mr. B. II is however excusable, ns belonging
to a particuliar sect of politicians in the
Bonlla who have adopted the opin onsofJohn
Taylor ot Virginia, on tiie subject of n U. S.
Bank. Hut it is worthy of remark, that this
opinion arises from the fear of increasing the
political power of tha federal government.—
Experience, however, which so often baffles
the most profound speculations of men, lias
proved in this instance that those who dread
ed the encroachments of that power, were as
much deceived, as its friends were in other ca
ses. The Bank rather than submit to be a
party engine, in the hands of tho Executive,
suffered itself to b" trampled under foot and
destroyed. There can be no doubt that this
proceeded from an unwillingness of the com
mercial direction, to connect the institution
with fluctuating, dishonest party polities, by
which its credit and character, at home and
abroad, must inevitably have been ruined.
The neglect of onr legislators to take pro
per measure lo preeerve the freedom of elec
tions, may be ascrib'd to mistaken security
on the subject of Executive influence. The
Executive was called the weakest branch of
he g ivnrument, and was armed with the Veto
for its defence; for this was Iho sole reason
given for this strange feature is our democra
tic government. In England, the Executive
was always the most cons icuous branch of
the government; the attention of tha patriot
was therefore directed with salutary jealously
to that quarter, as the most formidable lo li
berty- The time has now arrived, when we
shall do well to take soma practical lessons
from those to whom we are so much indebted,
few Americans are aware of the decisive
measure* taken by the British Parliament to
preserve the freedom of elections, from all in-1
- fluonce on thejpart of the officersof the Crown.
Tho extreme jealously of all interference,
on the part of the crown, has been continual.
ly,maiiif sl' d since the revolution of 1688;
and as early us the sth of William and Mary,
(1(101,) nnucl was passed, vetting forth, tint
all elections of Members of Parliament should
be free, and not corrupt, and prohibited all
excise officers from •' endeavoring by word,
tl message, or writing, or in any oilier manner
e whatsoever,” lo persuade any elector, lo give
or withhold his vo'e, &c. under a penally of
I, 1001 ami disqualification from holding any
u offic e, or place of trust or profit. This act
was further extended by that of I‘2 and 13
William HI, (1700,) andby thal of 10th Ann,
oii-up. 10. But these nets having been eva
ded, ami it being f. nod, towards the middle of
the reign of Oe.i. 111, that the public officers,
mid others in the employment ot the govern
ment, by their numbers and their influence,
were ollen able,in s one c unities and boroughs,
I lo carry the court can lidates, ami they gen
erally voted en masse, for the government
i candidates, the true old English Whigs made
a great effort in Parliament, nod succeeded
in passing the act (22 (Jeo. 111, c. 11, 1732.)
d..franchising every officer employed in the
customs, in the collection and management
of the excise duties, and in the Post Office—
forty thousand in number.
“ This act,” observes Mr. Bell, “ which
5 stands a glorious monument oftho spirit of
Englishmen, is entitled an act for the better
securing the freedom of elections of Members
to serve in Parliament. It was at this period,
that the celebrated Mr. Dunning introduced,
and carried the resolution, in Parliament, that
the influence of the crown had increased, was
increasing, and ought to ho diminished. The
first measure which followed, was to deprive
forty-thousand office holders of their r ght to
1 vole nl elections. The subserviency of Par
• liarnont lo the will oftho crown, had been too
1 gross and palpable, lo he longer endured. The
ministry bail cat red every measure, by a dead
invariable majority, just as we have of late
seen measures arrived through the Congress.
■ This great measure of reform was justified and
sustained by ibo English paper, under the firm
conviction that their proudest happiness in
tho now world, “ the imperial crown of Ainer
ica,” had been wrested from tho King by tho
blunders of an incorrupt ministry, supported
by a corrupt Parliament. But the remedy
came too late to prevent the catastrophe. It
would ho a singular incident in the vicissitude
of human affairs, if Iho liberties of America
should bo lost by the same errors which affor
ded the opportunity of thoir existence.
This spirit so highly worthy of admiration,
manifested itself on different occasions in
particular instances, of improper interference
with the freedom of elections. In the reign
of Queen Anne, a bishop of Winchester, ut
the same time Almoner to the Queen, being
unfriendly to Sir I. Pnrkington, wrote to se
veral of his friends soliciting them to oppose
his election Parkington notwithstanding,
was successful; and one of his firet acts on
taking his scut in the House of Commons,
was to complain of the violation oftho free
(loin of elections by tho bishop ami almoner.
The Commons voted this lo he a violation of
the liberties of tho people of England, and
sent an addrtss to tho Queen requesting tho
dismission ofihe bishop, which she gracious-*
ly complied with. If a similar address had
been carried lo Andrew Jackson by a com
mittee of Congress, requesting him to dismiss
Amos Kendall for a much more gross inter
ference, ho would have insulted tho members
who composed it! In 1770 a Lord Lieuten
ant of a county was detected in writing to
his friends, in the county of Southampton, urg.
mg them to give thoir support to his friend;
who was a government candidate. When
the case was brought before tho Commons,
Ixird North attempted to make light ol it, but
was instantly silenced by Ibo expression of
indignant feelings from all sides. The fol
lowing resolution was adopted without a di
vision :
“That it is highly criminal for any minis
ter or ministers, or any other servant of the
Crown in Great Britain, directly or indirectly,
to make use of the power of his office in order
to influence the election of members of Par
liament, mid that an attempt to exorcise that
Influence was an attack upon the dignity, the
honor, ami Ibo independence of Parliament,
tin infringement of the rights and liberties of
tho people, end an attempt lo sap the basis of
our free ami happy constitution.”
So much for the principles ofihe true friends
of the liberty of the people in Great Britain.
Now la there any thing peculiar to that coun
try, that should render the very converse of
those principles proper for America. 1 have
already referred to the abstract opinions of
those now in power, and 1 might refer to the
numerous speeches and proposed amendments
to tiie Constitution of Col. Benton and others,
for tho purpose of opposing tho dangerous
encroachments of Iho Executive. It is true
all this happened while Iho parly was endea
voring to get, into power, and were handled ue
mere popular topics, tor wo hear no more of
them now since they have boon successful.
But because their intentions wore insincere
and disbelieved, it does not follow that those
opinions so true in the abstract, ought not lo
he practised upon by those who are sincere in
th.'ir desire to see the liberties of the country
established on a firm foundation. I will refer
to one authority, which will be admitted by
the republican, or democratic parly at least, to
be worthy not only of respect, hut. to be prac
tically adopted. Mr Jefferson, in deprecating
every iiiierterenee on the part of the officers
oftho General and State Convention, ns well
with the election of Slate, us of federal offi
cers, gives tliis reason—“ because the consti
tutional remedy, by the elective principle, be
come nothing, if it may ho smothered by the
enormous patronage of the General Govern
ment.” If that patronage appeared go enor
mous lo Mr. Jefferson at his day, what would
it appear lo him now ? What would ho have
| thought oftho constitutional remedy, when
the Chief Magistrate himself look the field,
followed and supported by every one directly
or indirectly connected with this enormous
patronage 1 Ho certainly would not have
placed a very high value upon the freedom of
elections among us.
With this shameful violation oftho spirit of
the Constitution, on the officers of the general
government, and degrading acquiescence on
the part of the American people, a now pro
tension has been recently set up, which is,
that the re-election of the President bv the
People, is tu bo considered nn implied sanc
tion, general and special, of all ids acts, and
an acquittal from every accusation, and the
benefit is of course to bo shared by all those
who happen to bask in (he sunshine of his pa
tronage. But whoever heard of an accused
person, or of one appealing to others for ap
probation, having a vote in his own cause? If
the position be correct, (and I presume no
man of sonco will seriously contend that it
is so,) then should the President, and every
officer under him, be excluded from the Polls,
and be prevented from influencing elections,
either directly or indirectly. It is a fact well
known, that considering tiie small majorities
of the administration candidates in Virginia,
North Carolina, and several other States, the
contest must have been decided by the per
sons in the employment of the government,
not one of whom, under the present order of
things, durst give a different vote from their
cbiet, and what is more, durst not remain in
active at tho elections.
From tho spirit manifested by Englishmen
in maintaining the freedom of elections, 1 do
not hesitate to say that iftheK ng of England,
had taken the same open, violent, and inde
cent parlas Ins been taken by Andrew Jack
son, to secure the election of £hc person nomi-
I nated by him, the act would have been follow
jed by a revolution, which would have cost
. I him his throne and perhaps his life. It isl
■, I deeply mortifying to us lo reflect, that the
- I great piladiuin of our liberties is not so well ]
; i 'ctended by us, ashy those ol whom we think ,
, | ourselves so (i-r in advance in the canoe of I
t freedom. If so pruud an indignation was
rl roused in the breasts of Englishmen by the
I indiscreet letter ut the Lord Lieutenant of a
I, county, what would they have thought of such
r a letter as that addressed by the chief favorite
a of (he President, his drognman, to persons in
f Pennsylvania, just before the lute election for
y the Chief Magistracy, and grossly insulting (if
t such an animal is capable of insulting any
J one) nearly half the voters of that groat Slate,
i, “A direct attempt has, been made to gov
- ern your Slate by corruption, and it has been |
f rebuked and repelled in a spirit worthy of '7O. I
, It is not a triumph of one man over another;
- it is a victory of principles over [profligacy—
, tho triumph of a virtuous people over concen
i, trated wealth, mercenary talent, and licensed
- corruption.”—h'uch language to eighty thou
l sand freemen from the meanest and basett of
■ mankind! When we considered who this man
I is, fit by what means he has become of so much
) consequence, wo arc struck with the depart
! tire from the “prudent reserve,” which once
t characterized the conduct of our Chief Mag
- istrates. Such an occurrence might happen
in the ferment of a revolution where society
i itself for the times appears to be broken up,
I and such a wretch as Murat, become a lord
r of tbe ascendant: or in Tripoli, or Tunis,
s where a cobbler, or a mule driver, may by
, chance be raised to the post of first minister
, to «no less ignorant and brutal bashaw; but
I for men of our sedate and sober habits, lo be
r stow upon such political gypsies, a portion ot
• base adulation only less than that claimed hy
i the Chief, is a matter of inexpressible aistonisli
i merit. II Mr. Van Boren were desirous of
■ recording an act that would more than any
i other reconcile the feelings of tbe great body
i of the intelligent men of business, merchants,
farmers, ami others who look upon thoir occu
pations as preferable to any office with his
gilt, and who have honestly and covertly op
posed the administration of Gen. Jackson,
and his own election—he would dismiss Amos
Coitdall from his psesence! If in addition, he
were to abate that moral, political and physi- I
cal nuisance, tho “ Official.” I am not cer
ium, that he would almost succeed in convert
ing his greatest political enemies into sincere
friends.
Before I conclude this letter, I must express
my doubts of the practical successor the law
proposed by Mr. 8011. It only prohibits pub
lic officers from interfering in elections; if this
important object can bo attained by mere leg
islation, we must not refuse to profit by the
experience ol Great Britain, and go as far as
her patriots have done, declaring at once, that
no one holding any olfico of trust or profit,
shall either vote, or interfere in any manner
whatever, either in elections for Stale or fed
eral officers I If the vote of the people in fa
vor of the chief, is to be construed ns an ap
proval of himself, and his officers, it will be
but just that they should leave this approval
or condemnation to be pronounced hy others;
If they complain of their right of suffrage, let
them bo told they enjoy an equivalent fur it in
the emoluments of their offices.
But, sir, it is not laws that will make frec
■ men, although freemen may make laws.—
When the spirit of liberty animates the breast
of the citizen, ho wiK resist the arm of despot
ism under every form of government; when
this is not the case—when the'inind is debased,
enslaved and brutalized, no form of govern
ment can raise that grovelling slave from the
mire in which he delights to wallow. The
populace of Rome, proclaimed Caisar dictator,
consul, and tribune of the people for life, heap
ing upon him absolute power beyond that of
any barbaiian monarch, and yet they could
not boar to see the it lo ceremony of placing
a childish bauble on his head I The spirit of
liberty has fled, and Cato, Cicero, or Brutus,
could never reanimate the lifeless form of the
Constitution.
1 thank Heaven the American people are
sound; the fire of liberty still burns brightly
in their breasts ; witness the noble stand made
by that hand of patriots, in the Senate of the
United States ; witness the efforts of a free
press; witness the warning efforts of so ma
ny individuals among those seven hundred
thousand freemen who have set thoir veto on
the acts of Andrew Jackson ! But all those
have not been able to prevail against the pow
er and influence in the hands of .ho govern
ment—the hundred thousand government of
ficers—tho governm«nt press—in short, in the
words of Mr. Jefferson, “Tho elective princi
ple becomes nothing, when smothered by the
enormous patronage of the government,” Lot
us appeal to the American people to put it
down—let us go into the highways, let us en
ter tho cabin, hy the road side ; let us every
where seek the people, and lay before them
tho dangers which threaten thofr liberties, and
let us proclaim lo thum, that the remedy is,
to secure the freedom of Elections.

Battle op tup. Fo b Tkadkus with the In
ni*ns oveh the Rocky mountains. —The
Jonesborough (Tennessee) Sentinel of March 8,
contains interesting naralivc from Mr. Step
hen H. L. Meek, now in that town, and who has
been for the last three er four years a member
of a Fur Company. The coniyany last smumer
left Rio del Norte, July 30, for Montras, in Cali
fornia. On Sept. 9th they were surrounded and
shot at by a large party of the Banarlt and Snake
Indians, armed with arrows. The return (irefrom j
the rifles of the hunters told n dismal talc, and
the Indians, astounded, fell hack with their rude |
hows and arrows, which were found powerless
weapons. The mules were then repacked, and
the course resumed over the interminable prai
ries. Five of the hunters in this skirmish wore ]
wounded, and one (Mr. Win. Small) was shot;
dead by the arrow of a chief, who soon after was ,
brought down. The Indian loss was 27 found
dead ; the wounded probably twice the number.
On the IGlh, about 150 of the same tribes hung
on the company’s flanks, and began to seat them
selves down in rings and smoke their pipe.
At this moment, 30 of the mountaineers rode
up within 40 steps oflhe savages, and discharged
upon them their rifles with deliberate aim. The
Indians scattered like patridges from the hawk,
leaving 18 dead 5 prisoners, which latter, after
being severely whipped, were set at liberty. Tra
velled now 4 days across the Salt Plains, where
they struck the Californian Mountains, crossing
which took IS days, and 14 days more than reach
ed the two Buries: now scarce of food, and killed
a horse, and subsisting on the time X1 days, came
to the Spanish settlements. Here procuring pro
visions proceeded to Montras, where they spent the
winter agreeably in balls and parties given by the
Spanish lathes. OnApriilst left&in lOdays struck
the snow hank on the smith side of the Salt or
California mountain. The company now had
100 horses, 80 mules, and 25 head of cattle. Be
fore re tching the plains on the north side of the
mountain, they had to leave 30 horses, 0 mules,
and all the tattle in the snow, which Was six
feet deep. In the lore part of May, reached St.
Mary’s river—on the 4th of July, 1830, Quepaw
or Bear river, and thence proceeded to St. Louis,

SANTA ANNA AT HOME.
The New Orleans Advertiser, of Monday,
states on the authority ofinforrnation brought
by the Creole, from Tampico, that a fleet,
consisting of four brigs and three schooners
of war had sailed from Vera Cruz for Mata
moras, to act against Texas—that quiet
reigned at Tampico—that its soldiery amount
ed tosoo moo—that Santa Anna had arrived
at Vera Cruz—that his reception was very
lukewarm—and that he had in consequence
hastily retired to his plantation, to brood over
his many reverses. A letter from Santa An
na to the Secretary of War, of Mexico de
clares that he obtained I is liberty “without
subscribing to any conditions whatever,” and
that he had not “ either before nr since that
event made, vt ilh any one, let. him be who he
may, any contract that might bring reproach
upon the national independence or honor, or
put in jeopardy the integrity ol the territory;”
and “ that ho has given no guarantees whatev
er to any individual or government relating
to these pretended stipulations.”
The Mexicans, however, keep an eye upon
him. They arc resolved to find him out, and
the object of his mission to Washington.
Hence a resolution has been offered to the
Mexican Congress, calling upon him for“ the
motives oF his journey to Washington, its re
sults, and whatever engagements he may
have contracted since the battle of San Jacin
to, detrimental to the integrity of the Mexi
can Territory, and to the honor and interests
oflhe Nation.”

The money market is still light. Nothing is done
scarcely in the way of hank discounts. All the
banks are curtailing rapidly, in consequence of the
large amount now locked up by the late commer
cial suspensions. In exchanges on Now York and
England, things remain as usual. The rotes on Eng
land me from 10 to 101. We have ho n receiving
of late large quantities of specie, nnd as little or no
exportation takes place, we shall probably ho well
guarded against accidents. The proposition to ar
range the stoppages will not bo acted on, until infor
mation be received from n neighboring institution.
Business transactions are confined to few articles.

The Josephs.— The “ Evening Star” is per
fectly correct in its reasons, showing the impoli-.
cy it would be in the Messrs. Josephs’ resuming |
payments in the present stale of the Money mar- I
ket. Such a step would only lead to unavailing 1
sacrifices, and be the future cause of further pres- c
auto in the money market. The commercial
community wc know arc divided on this point f
hut it will bo remembered, that those in favor of I
resumption, arc those persons who hold the paper t
of the house in question—or involved with them i
in some indirect way. Their opinion is founded i
on a matirr of interest only. The judicious part I
oflhe community are of the opidionput forth by
the Star—so are wc. We want real relief in the 1
money market, and we have reached that crisis
in which no other relief can be available but fail- i
ure and stoppage. Jpprojios~~ ln relation to the i
connection in business, between the firm of Liz- t
ardi, wo are authorized to say, .'that their liabili- i
lies to them do not exceed those to the house of i
Rothschild—that they are amply'securcd—and
j that all the Josephs’ business with the Lizardis ]
| have been confined to the London house—notin I
| any degree with the Paris house. I

From the New Vo-/,- Evening Post March 20. ,
City Affairs. — The general topic of conver
sation in Wall street, is the failure ol the Josephs. _
| The Expnss of Saturday brought nothing respec
ting the New Orleans failures, except the copy of ,
a letter from New Orleans, via Mobile, which ‘
states that the banks had agreed to afford relief j
to the houses there. Yesterday the express (
brought notiiing new. £
Several failures are reported, some of which are r
contradicted. The Joseph’s will not resume busi- |
ness until further information from the south, and j
another consultation with their friends. It is un- -
derstood that the United States Bank will make ■
additional offers of assistance. Several individlt- [
als of known wealth have promptly come forward
to render all the aid in their power to their friends |
and there is a general disposition to sustain those (
in want of succour. The first impression, that £
there would be an extensive panic, is gradually j
wearing, away and confidence resuming its place. ,
From the N. Y. Daily Fxprcss, March 20. 1
CITY NEWS. <
Saturday, P. M.—There has been
money market. Slocks stood a little bettor, bur, i
money is yet close. The position of Messrs Joseph t
has not changed since the publications of this mar- ,
ning. All those measures will be based upon inlor- j
i matron that may be received from New Orleans.— ,
| The state of suspense of this house, nnd a eomhina-
I tain of circumstances, has shaken confidence very
much. Four failures have been announced- none
of llu n large,but all.bl them highly respectable firms.
We look forward hi ;jpxt week withn hopo that the
stale of things will improve. This week has closed ‘
with unusual gloom ,
It is exceedingly fortunate that the packets to j
Liverpool and Havre sailed on their regular day; viz. :
Thursday the 16th, end at 11 o’clock in the fore- (
noon. The Express Mail from the South and New (
O leans in particular on that day did not reach here
until lour hours after they left. As a largo amount
of New Orleans bills, and also of our own city, went
forward by these packets, they will be, no doubt,
duly honored before any unfavorable tidings can
reach there. This will be exceedingly fortunate for
the purchasers nnd holders.
Sunday, P.M.
Rumour bus been busy to-day in reference to the
late failures in New Orleans We have also beard
of several fiiilures in nnd about Wall Street since
Saturday morning. Wo do not, however, (cel our
selves at liberty to publish the names of the reported
failures, without further proof of the many stories
floating about the city. The character oflhe patties
concerned, and the necessity of preserving the com
mercial reputation of onr city, warn ns to beware of
placing too much confidence in the flying stories of
the day. Tim evil is had enough when it is known
to exist. The anticipation of it is doubly dangerous.
The Express Midi which arrived yesterday afternoon
it vviil lie seen, brings some important news from
New Orleans, and further South.
The North River, we arc told, is open a short dis
tance above Newburgh ; and the boat, we believe,
leaves lor Newburgh this morning.
STOCKS.
Saturday, P. M—A bettor feeling was evinced
to-day, the panic of yesterday having subsided a lit
tle. United States Bank sold 11 per cent better.—
Delaware 82—advance 4 and 5 per cent. N. O.
Canal a little L iter —Morris 87. Boston n shade
better. Large lo;s ol Long island, however, vvere
thrown into market, and sales at 66—being a decline
of (our per certt.
The difference in stocks the last_fuur days has
been as follows;

DAILY SALES.
Saturday, P. M.
Flour —Western is stationary at sll} to 124 ; be
ing in few hands, the holders are enabled to main
tain uniform prices. There is, however, considera
ble foreign Flour, which sells at various rates, ac
| cording to condition.
; Gram.—ls exceedingly dull. Rye has declined
1 from 140 to 125 cents, at which there are no buyers.
■ In Wheat, there is nothing doing—stock here nn
-1 commonly great; and, contrary to expectation, a con
tinued accession of supplies. Since Saturday last,
: wo have received the billowing:—From Liverpool
527 sacks, 125 f hags ; from London, 971 hags; from
' Bremen,633l bags wheat, 4836 do. rye; from Rot
terdam, 5710 hags wheat; 2306 do.rye; from Hum
’ burg, 6273 bags, 301 do. rye; 2000 sacks do; from
Antwerp, 1613 bags, 3250 do rye; from Palermo,oo4
1 bags wheat; from Rostock, 80 lasts ; from Celle, 11
" sucks, and from Havre, 1000 barrels flour. Besides
' two arrivals with full cargoes—one from Dantzic,
| and one from Amsterdam, and two other arrivals,
the quantity not mentioned.
Tko week has closed with much gloom, although
' the panic of yesterday has passed over in a conside
; ruble degree. At the Exchange there was much
more conversation in relation to business, than there
1 was in buying and selling.
1 From the New Vurk Herald,
j WALL STREET March 20.
The operations of Wall street have now an
) additional interest. The eyes of the whole com
munity arc upon its movements. On Saturday
slocks rose, and brokers fell. For many months
past the most astonishing fluctuations have taken
> place in stocks, the difference between time and
' cash sales having been, during that period, pro
bably, 2, or 3or 4 per cent. The several provis-
I ional suspensions have had a good effect on the
• slock market. It is generally believed that many
: of those persons and firms who have failed, have
’ been the cause of these fluctuations. As a par
' tial system of finance, they bought stocks on time
at the current prices of today, and, to raise mo
ney, sold them to-morrow, at 1,2, or 3 per cent,
under the original cost on time, varying at 20,
i 30, or 40 days. By this means these slock
f operations were made the basis of a system ol fi
-1 nance equal to a permanent capital of $500,000,
’ or more, at ‘if or 30 per cent per annum.
These operations have affected the stock mar
ket for 3or 4 monthr past. They arc the princi-
I pal cases of the fluctuations—of the rises today
and depressions tomorrow. In the wake of such
a business, several stock brokers came down,
like a few nine-pins before a capital player in the
i great nine-pin alley of Wall street, on Saturday.
• There is no injury done even to the individuals,
) but much good, by the operation.
Stocks accordingly, from these views prevailing
among the shrewd men rose 2 or 3 per cent on
Saturday, in the face of the terrible failures or
• suspicion of failure. United States stock went
up smack 4 per cent in Friday’s rates and closed
1 steady at 2 per cent advance. Southern stocks
are nearly unsaleable. Northern fancies have
risen from 2to 4 per cent and are steady. Old
hank stocks invariable. Men of real capital ap
pear to be laying in a supply. The money mar
ket is getting easier. It is true the capitalists
who shaved at 2,3, and 4pcr cent a month, have
got most awfully shaken,hut who cares for them!
There is a visible relief in the market. Several
, failures took place on Saturday, r probably half a
dozen in all, to the amount of half a million oj
dollars. —The escape of this steam is a great and
unexpected relief upon the steam boiler of com
merce. We ought to be thankful for even this
; small favor received. Those houses and indivi- -
duals left standing will be the more able now to
sustain themselves. The truth is, the mind of
the community appears to be agitated by a mix
ed feeling—pity, regret, nnd heart-felt sympathy
for the unfortunate sufferers who have failed—
some of them the cleverest men in the world.
On the other hand there is a general joy, evident
ly steading over the whole city at the prospect of
relief and return to moderation and the good old
steady safe systems of commerce. Wc expect,
however, many more additional failures—then a
season of quiet—then a new set of men then ano- ,
! liter quiet time—then another scene of specula- .
tion—then a revulsion, bringing us up to 1850
j before wc explode again.
| Cotton is dull—extremely dull. The spccu
lationa in the culture of cotton has been the
cause of the failures here and at New Orleans.
The revulsion has taken piece before the recent
fall in England was known. They have fallen
by their own weight. Here the market is dull
and falling. The cotton speculations arc not un
derstood here—wc shall explain them fully to
morrow, and show the connection of the recent
failures with them.
The flour market has begun falling. Western
brands are quoted at §11,75 to 11,87 J—New
York to §10,75. This is from 75 cents to §I,OO
under the highest previous rates. It must go on
in the same way —no backing out if it pleases.
On Saturday, 60 barrels middling quality went
off at auction at §4,75 to §l,B7 —GO days. Flour
cannot stand at its present prices. On Saturday
14,569 bags wheat, and 3,1C0 hags rye were im
ported ; and during the whole week, probably
the gross imports at New York were 100,000
hags of all kinds of grain. Tire imports are ra
didly increasing. In May, flour will be at §6,00
or §7,00, nr §B,OO per barrel—old price.
The following arc the operations on Saturday :
—l5O boxes imported tin platcsat §lO lOJ, Hi,
11 i, to 11J, 3 months—los barrels brown sugars
atsg, 6,6 s, to G.?, 3 months —25 lumps white
do. at 10;1 cents—l barrel extra fine white at
15] —20 birds Porto Rico sugar at 8j a 8$ cents,
ret 3 and 4 months—l 4 casks beans at 75—14
small do. do. at 70, 90 days—loo bales St. Do
mingo tobacco at 14| a 15 cents, 4 months—Bl
long bundles twine at 4,55, small do. do. at 9—9
bags almonds at 8, 4 months—lß bags coffee at
7 a 8 cents, 4 months—ll 9 boxes bunch raisins,
damaged 45—32 half boxes do. at 28—12 boxes
bloom do. at 50—1 keg do. 10J cash.
Real estate is in a singular condition. Specu
lators now entirely drive away cash sales—yet a
trade in lands, founded on mortgages on a new
system, has started up, of a most remarkable ex
tent—New Brighton, and all fancy towns, lots and
villages near New York, are gone forever. The
market at present is flooded will) a new species
of bubble companies, located in the eas ern states,
called Granite and other names. Wo shall show
up the whole of these bubbles n a day or two—
together with the bubble lots in all the towns and
cities round about the country, now exchanging
for other properties for ten times their worth.
The ago of bubbles is nearly gone.

. THIS Celebrated Racer will make
S isa hia first season at the HAMPTON
fc'*® 8 near Auguata, Go., under
direction of Mr. Freeman VV.
\ 4 Lacy, and be let to Mares, the ensu
ing season, at One Hundred Dollars
the season, payable 25th December next, with One
Dollar to the Groom ; the season to commence the
15lh February, and end the 15th July next. It is re
quested that persons sending mores, will send a note
for I lie season and a pedigree of the mare.
John Bascombe never having covered, his powers
as a foal-getter are, of course, unknown ; such mares
therefore, as do not prove in loal, shall have the
benefit of another season, free of charge. Messrs.
| Glascock & Lacy are extensively provided with Lots
and Stables, for mares that may be sent (o remain
with the h.rse, and will be fed at fifty cents per
day. lilack servants, sent with mares, tod gratis.—
Every care and attention will be taken to guard
against accidents or escapes, but no liability will be
incurred for either. A report having gained circula
tion that John Bascombe would not cover, I take
this method to contradict it, so fur os he has not re
fused.
PF.DIGREE.—John Bascombe is a light chesnul,
fifteen and a half hands High, fine bone and muscle,
with very superior limits mid action, six years old
the ensuing spring; ho was got by the celebrated
horse Bertrand, sen., his dam was got by Pacolet,
and he by imported Citizen; his grand dam by im
ported Buzzard ; and his great grand dam by Wade
Hampton’s Paragon, and Itchy imported Flimnap;
his dam by Harwell's Traveller, his grand dam Ca
millia, by old Fearnought out of Calista, imported
by Col. Bird ; Burnell's Traveller was by Morton’s
Traveller, out of Col. Bird’s Cdista; Bascombe’s
great great grand dam by imported Figure, his great
great grand dam was old Shamorkin, who was got
by imported Wddair,out of the imported Cub Mare.
Baseombo’s performance on the Turf are of so re
cent dale, and consequently so well known, I deem
it unnecessary to trouble the public wilbnny remarks
of mine, in relation to them, except to state that bo
has never lost a heat since holms been in my hands.
