The request of the author in the last verse would more than make the ladies blushs we do not think that its publication would add any thing to the author’s reputation as a poetical writer. “D. B.

The Alien and Sedition. Laws, secured’ the overthrdvTof the old Federal party; and if we are not verymuch mistaken, this recent infamous attempt (of the Federalists) to man acle-the freemen of the country, will ensure the everlasting condemnation ofits unprin cipled authors.” We shall endeavor to find room for this admirable speech hereafter.

They have made long and dolt ful lamentations about the 'Union of the purse and sword* in the hands of,the Executive, and have asserted time and again that President Van Buren has sought to unite in hi* own person the entire control o: the tevenue with the military force o! the coun try. These charges have been rung so long and so loudly upon the public car, that at length’the honest and unsuspecting portion of the commu nity were almost induced to believe that there was something real and substantial.in them.— Well, what is the real state of the case? Let us look for a moment at the conduct of these braw lers, in reference to the difficulties on ourNonh eastern Boundary. Here, although the contin gency is remote which would require the use of such means, at least Co the extent authorised in the Bill passed by Congress, their fearful fore bodings in relation to the ambitious dcsigtfs of Mr. Van Buren have all vanished like a sluulow, and in their stead has been substituted the most unlimited confidence!. That our readers may understand the force ot these remarks,' we re spectfully refer them to the Bill in question, which will be found in another part of this pa per. By reference thereto it will be perceived that the President, for.the time being, is clothed with n\most dictatorial'\iu\vera, vi»: to raise an army of fifty thousand men, to arm and equip the whole naval force o / the-United States, and to borrow ten millions of dollars and appropriate it in such a way as he sees proper! This Bill passed the House with hut six dissenting voices aud;ihe Senate unanimously—* ancl yet Mr. Van Quren is the dangerous Executive who, for'the last two years, if the federalists are to be believ ed, has been grasping at the possession of *tAe purse and the sword!* ' Tell It not in Gath!~ Publish'it not in Askelon! Such ghn-ihg and' palpable inconsistency can only be account ed for on the principle, that when the federal ists assert one thing they mean another— in oth er words, that, although for electioneering pur pose* they have raised the hue andcr) r of Exec utive usurpation, they have full confidence in the patriotism and integrity of the President, abd by their sanction of the above mentlnned hlll have given the lie to all their .former professions. That President Vim Bui'rn 'will "use the vast power committed to his trust so as not, to abuse it, we have not a doubt—indeed, we very much question whether, if a contingency should arise, he would feel disposed to exert the'power con ferred upon him to. the full extent. We arc rather inclined to the opinion tint, father thou carry out the provisions of the l)ill to the utmost limit, he would prefer convening the new Con gress at the earliest practicable moment. In all his public acts he has manifested'the most pro found regard tor the rights and interests of tli“ people, anti it) his administration of-the govern ment has strictly adhered to the Constitution and Laws of his country. That he will continue so toad minister the govcrnment.his political friends have no doubtt—and by their sanction oftlie n bove mentioned Bltl. hys evidence that they have the fullest donfidence in his abil ity, integrity nnd patriotism. We congratulate llie country that we have such a pilot to guide the ship of State at this important crisis. The State Loan — Governor's Message. —By a combination among the huge Banking insti tutions of our Commonwealth, it appears that the Loan of .200,000, authorised by the Act of the 26th of January last, has not been taken. If any thing were yet wanting to convince the people of the dangerous tendency of the United States Bank and the institutions dependant upon its controlling : influence, this base' attempt to sink the credit of the Commonwealth, must be sufficient. . 839.000 100.000 We admire the bold and unflinching attitude assumed by the Governor, tin this subject, and' invite for the Special Meisage ah attentive pe rusal, The people of Pennsylvania will behold with pleasure the production of a Chief Magis trate, whose Roman firmness and incorruptible integrity is sufficient for the occasion, nnd who, to use his own language, will never permit the Banks, while the executive power remains in hisiiands, to control either the political or fiscal, operationsof the government.

The Legislature; ’by a resolution adopted on the 18lh of February, agreed to suspend operations upon the Gettys burg rail road oh'and after the Ist of the present month, which received the Executive sanction.. another resolution was got up and smuggled‘ through both' Houses,' extending the time for'the suspension, to the Ist of May—and ‘this is the resolution which is now disapproved by the Governor; Public opinion has emphati cally condemned that useless. undertaking,, and .the Executive is but carrying out the will of the people by, withholding his signature. 91.000 1,000,000 12.000 86,458,765 ' ATamc.—Gon’l.

Porter in remo ving from office'.those who were politically opposed to him, meets with general approba tion by the democracy of the Union. It is an example'set. to the administration at Washington, which we trust will ,be speed ily followed, up by the President and the Heads of Departments, until there shall not a vestige'of federalism remain, The Presi dent owes it to himself, to the character of his administration, and to the unanimous wish of the democracy of the whole Union, to cleanse the Augean Stall of the filth and stain of federalism which has been increas ing among the subordinates in the different departments for- the last quarter of a century. • Two weeksago.we-gave a table by reference which it will be perceived that notwithstand-’ ing the democrats have controlled the Gen eral Administration for the last thirty-eight years, with but a single exception, they have had the smallest share of the 'loaves & fish es’ at the disposal of the powers that be.— Is this right? Is it proper? If it-is neces sary for the welfare of the country, (and we firmly believe- it toj-he so) that -the Chief Magistrate & Headifof Departments .should be of-the-democratic faith—is it not equally necessary that the subordinates, .who arc to carry out the views and wishes of,their su periors, should be of the'same stamp? Most certainly it is. What would, be. thought of a mechanic who had a particular work to perform, if he would knowingly employ a set of hands who, instead of conducting it in the manner the instructions called for, would " pursue an entirely different course and com plete it contrary to his known and express ed will;'and in such a way, too, as to injure him in his business, and lower him iii the es timation of the publlc upon whom he depend ed for the support of himself ahddiis family? • Would he not be looked upon in the light of a maniac? And is not the General Govern ment, by retaining the host of federal office holtjecs in power, pursuing the same sui - ciasl--policy toward themselves and their friends, that would charafcterize the hiimble rae'chanic in his daily avocation?. Nay more —are the President and Heads of Depart ments hot- cherishing an adder in-their- bo soms which will sting them to death at the first opportunity? The fact is—the people demand a change in the policy of the admin istration in this respect. The democracy of the country have had too long to contend for the shadow, whilst their enemies have run a way with the* substance--- arid it behooves those who are more immediately interested in the matter, to TeTraccrtneir steps TfiTfliTs particular, and show thrir adherence to the popular will by removing every individual from office whose principles are contrary to the spirit of our republican institutions.— The people every where are beginning to move in this matter, and the administration cannot,, and > must not, turn a deaf ear to their remonstrances. As we said in the outset, Gov. Porter has, by.his policy in this particular, gained ..for himself the applause and approbation of the whole country—and if the National Admin istration take the hint from so worthy an ex emplar, the next election will sh'ow that they have more strongly than ever attached'the people to their fortunes; but if they do not, they may find when it is too late, that the demands of the popular will are not to be treated with slight and disrespect. |C3“The whole of the French Ministers on the 22d of January placed their resigna tions in the hands of the King, in conse quence of finding their majority in the Chamber pf.
