\\ o look, with pride and pleasure upon
the position occupied by this truly favorite
huh uf pemisylvania. lu ail the relations
in which it has been our good fortune to ob
serve his course of duty to his country, we
have seen.il' iiiarked with tokens of unflinch
ing'fidelity. When, during the war with
Great Britain, the thunders of a foreign in
vader were approaching our shores, at the
critical moment'>Vh.en. Baltimore was threat
ened with annihilation, though he possessetl
the means to have hired substitutes, and
avoid the danger and fatigue'of a campaign,
still'we behold him' enter the list of defend
ers of his country; Aiul how did lie entorf
Not as a general, whose most appropriate
place lias of lute bcen'decided to be in the
rear and out of danger, and who enjoys the
fame and military honor's, which are in fact
won by his suldiers; t but us a volunteer, he
entered the ranks with a musket tin his
shoulder, sharing the fatigues and accepting
the rewards allotted to a common soldier—
the consciousness of having done his duty to‘
his country. Baltimore yet stands, a lovely
city upon the coast, for she could never be
taken when such hearts defended her.
In the Senate-of the United States, per
haps a more severe ordeal was never ullot
■ ted toman than fell to the portion of James
Buchanan. Hp stood there firm as aTuck,
while insanity and.hard cider deluged the
country. .The truths he uttered during that
time, now stand out almost, as prophecies,
many already fulfiled, and many more in a
' rapid course of fulfilment. But fur the time
nothing could prevail, and no less could
have been expected-thun that James Bucha :
udn, the leading champion of democratic
doctrines, smarting beneath a defeat such as
was then dealt out to us, seeing his native
state numbered among those who were pass
ing'seeming condemnation upon his course,
should have evinced at least some symptoms
of exasperation. Fur different.was the fact.
Instructed by the representatives to vole fur
certaih measures,.we find him, while ex
pressing the conviction that Ilia conaiituents.
were still obeying their instruc
tions with a high-suiild fidelity, whichfnot,
' Only sefVed to fikiwthe windshis.friends
,'indetlibly their confidence .in his rectitudi>
of heart,, tint also disarmed his opponents or
the last poisoned shaft which malice or po
litical ambition dared to invert.
Tlvcn.came, once muce, the great,.the gi
ant contest,' for a hydra-headed bank—a
"Fiscal Agent” and a “Fiscal Corporation.”
liven the whigs of Pennsylvania had not
dared to.instruct him to favor such a meas
ure, and we find him entering the arena and
Mattering opposition to the fight and left,
until the friends of those measures them
selves-became distrustful of their utility,
and it hardly needed a’veto to lay them in
the grave bf oblivion, 'Usually triumphant
was his masterly course in favor of the dig
nity and independen'ce_of the country, when
assurance* demailded the surrender
of McLeod, though charged with the nefar
our crimes of arson and murder. When.
Daniel Webster, with a cl inging sycophan
cy,sought to yield thatentirequesiioninto the
hands of the British ministry, and to send
by her rights, James Buchanan, fittest for
the great occasion, was the first mam to step
forward to the rescue of our national escutch
eon and national honor.
In all, tlie great measures, Pennsylvania’s
favorite sun stood in the foremost rankv'ancl
sustained the true policy of his country,
tlrough surrounded by an intolerant opposi
tion, boastful and vaunting of their mighty
majority. But how changed now the aspect.
The people have seen that those repining
demagogues, who led them astray with the
log cabin paraphernalia, though exceeding
fit instruments to raise a tempest, are not
the pilots to steer the ship of state through
it to a haven of safety. Mr. Buchanan re
turns,to Washington with .the din of appro
bation sounding to his .cars, as rung upon
almost every ballot box'in tire Union, and
it would be hard to.conceivc of a greater re
ward ato patriotic heart, fyr the toils and
cares of the responsible position ■he has
maintained.

CONGRESSIONAL ANALYSIS,
SENATE.
The discussion in the Senate on the new
, Exchequer scheme to-day, was highly inter
esting. The position which we are inclined
to believe the Democratic party will take
jn relation to the proposed Administration
measure of finance, was most .distinctly
pointed out by Mr. Buchanan & Mr. Cal
*oun. Mr. Buchanan opened the debate
*>a the proposition of Mr. Tallmadge to re
fer the bill fijr the establishment of the Ex
chequer, and the Cabinet exposition which
accompanied it, to a select committee. Mr.
TT,indicated a wish that all expression of o
pinvon touching this fully .matured measure
<if<tbe Administration should be waved for
the present, although developed in its minu
test lineaments in the bill from the
re, and illuminated with the full and lung
studied argument with which it was usher
ed into Congress by the Cabinet exposition
It was thought by the Democratic Senators,
due to an Executive measure of such grave
import—so elaborately prepared, and so c
laborately argued, in advance,*by its auth
ors—to meet it as'prescnted “by .them, be
fore submitting it to the .crucible of a com
mittee, l» .which it might undergo a change,
making it altogether different from that de
signed by.its originators. In the meantime,
if the scheme had been sunk, for weeks to
come, in the' oblivion of-a committee, the
public might have been.left to infer. (bat the
busy scatlerers of rumors were right tn the
•■inference that the silence of,all sides in re
gJTril to itpwas to be taken as a sort of. uni
‘ -iprsaT consent to its adoption.
, Under,these impressions, we doubt not,-
. Messrs. Buchanan and Calhoun felt- them*
delves called on to state, without any/un
• kind feelings or intentions pijvimls thp Ex
ecutive submitting it, their objections to the
plan proposed. - - • --•
Mr. Buchanan’s speech was an able, coin
prehensive, impartial, generalized, review of
the whale subject brought np by the new
jnupoailion. He stated fbe.objections which
fbrbaife hiin and those who .acted with him
from embracing any. of the extraordinary
features engrafted uU the eiinj)l)s substratum
of the Independent Treasury. Ho showed
that the whole superstructure was a Govern
ment Bank of •immense.und irresfSlible teu
dencies-.to mischief, and milking absolute
the identification of the political; and mon
eyed powers of the country—d perfect blen
ding of Bank and State.
Mr. Calhoun, in a very brief and clear
staiunieiit, touched on some important ad
missions of the. Cabinet exposition, milita
ting against the measure, itself, and the
whole system-of .banking as associated with
Governments He sustained'Mr. Buchanan
in all his positions, and declared.resolutely
the purpose to stand firmly on the ground
and principles on which the Democracy had
planted itself in the renewed struggle be
tween it and its old antagonist in'our Gov
ernment,
.-,-Mr. Tallmadge -having withdrawn from
the Senate, on account of indisposition, Mr.
Hives undertook to reply in behalf of Mr.
T. and for himself, ;to the views delivered
by Messrs. Buchanan and Calhoun.
Mr. Uives seemed to taktroftelicc that the
Senators who hud commented' on the great
measure proposed by the , Administration,
hud not waited until it had undergone the
alterations which he did not hesitate to shy
it wouldTeceive from the hands of .Mr.T.,
who concurred with him in so many points
of political faith,' modes of thinking & feel
ing. lle wcnton to say. _ that he did riot
doubt that every thing contained in the pro
posed plan, which made it obnoxious to the
charge of'being a Government Bank, would
be lopped oft', if Mr. Tallmadge (the mover
of the committee, and therefore likely to be"
its head) could have ids way. 'Mr. gives,
for himself, expressly disclaimed all favor
for the exchange and discount operations
proposed for the Exchequer. He pronoun
ced against the provision authorizing the
Treasury lo issue paper to three times life
amount of specie on hand, and declared lie
would assent to .no issue of notes which the
Goyernment.had not the gold and silver to
redeem, dollar lor dollar. He inveighed a-,
gainst the Independent Treusui-y, as con
demned by the people—proclaimed a Na
tional Bank as now an impossibility—gave
up Ids half-way house—the State bankde
jmsite system—as altogether impracticable,
but still declared’, himself one ol .those who
abjured.tha-“<faMOl/iing,pe(rty,’ y and. inti
mated aii.iiitcritiun-to make something out
of the Administration scheme which would
redeem the ctuiiitr.y' from the present deplo
rable state, which he depicted as one which
demanded relief froin Government. . . •
From the.aspect which-filings assumed to
day in the Senate, «we infer that the two
well-yoked €onscrvatives ; who look upon
themselves as the make-weights who have
hitherto, at will, played at seesaw upon the
two great parties, have at length resolved to
balance atlidrs, and take repose theiriselvcs,
arid give it to the country. The cabinet
plan is knocked in the head—Mr. Clay’s
plan is knocked in the head—and now the
counlry is to-look to Messrs.' Rives and
Tallmadge for its preservation;
‘‘Large streams from little fountains flow,
Tall oaksTrorfl little acorns grow. - - .
We had thought this an era of great men
—but, alack! alack! it seems that it is tu
be the reign of the Pigmies.
Mr, Mangdm has the flour for tp-morrow.
We suppose that his remarks will indicate
the course of the Whigs proper—the friends
of Mr. Clay. Mr. Clay sat silent to-day.
Although Mr. Rives drew many flattering
earnests from forbearance in that quarter,
contrasting with it the hostility of the Dem
ocrats, we hardly think Mr. C. will enlist
under his banner.
TUE EXCHEQUER.
From tlie indications in the Senate to-day,
(Thursday) we,consider the prospect of tlie
exchequer scheme, in apy form, entirely
forlorn.
Mr. Mangum, in bis spcecii to day, de
nounced every aspect of the measure'; and,
although he protested that he spoke only for
himself as an individual member, yet he de
clared, confidently, that he did nut believe
that it would receive the support of a solita
ry member. Some few, he said, might be'
inclined to favor it, but it was so entirely
destitute of support in the 'general opinion,
that he believed not one would be found, to
vote for When Mr. Mr sat down, no
member arose to gainsay the assertion thus
made. Not one evinced a disposition to re
ply, even to vindicate a Solitary feature of
the project. And after the severe animad
version made upon every part of it, compre
hending a sweeping condemnation, at the
close, of the motives of ’ the projectors, ,we
must infer that it is not to find oue advocate
in. the Senate, unless the speech of Mr.
Rives and the proposition of Mr. Tallmadge
to refer the subject to a committee, may be
construed .into support.
The President, therefore, will content
himself, we presume, with the laws regula
ting the' Treasury, as established at the
foundation of the Government. They es
tablish an unguarded independent Treasu
ry', which will require great circumspection
,aml energy and skill in those concerned in
the management. The want of the late law,
so eagerly repealed because it rendered all
other li gisiatiun on the subject unnecessary,
will be felt at every moment by those who
administer the finances, and we fear the
public, too, will be found a loser in the end
by the repeal. l -
MCushaniVs hove.
Incidents of life occurring from clay to
clay, anti, -we suspect, some not altogether
diltesled.ofjictian, are nut unfrequcntly'to
be met with in the prints, in which they are
heralded as instances of the all absorbing
and ever enduring affection which ; burns
with eternal brightness m the bosum of wives,
mo.hers and sisters.' But who has ever be
fore scen.in the columns of our public jour
oals, a record exhibiting to the world
eqiiullyjhtense and nut less abiding dcVo
tion of husbands, fathers, and brothers?—
Such records ai,e rare indeed—nutas we be
lieve, that the latter instances are less fret
quent than the. former, but'because there is
in them less to impress. the amiable feelings
of. .our. nature, and excite that peculiar in
terest which sur'rbunda every thing hallowed
hy_-female.virtue or heroism". ‘
■ _f he Lowell Journal. relates a. case in
point, which, through succeeding-years hath
failed lu'interest Ihepen of the, chronicler.

place, about a mile fruin a little', vill.-ve in
that vicinity,'stands a very n at-granite

grave, apart from nil oilier grSyes. The
history (if tha,t monument is interesting and
nieluhcluily in the extreme. ". It-marks the
spot where lies buried the young wife qf one
of the young men.of the village. .He was
married a few years since to one who seemed
in every way calculated .to render him hap
py. At that time the prospects of the young
couple bid fair fur a lung life of happiness
and usefulness. In a year or two after their
marriage, the small pox broke out and raged
in the neighborhood. The young wife was
attacked with this dreadful disease, and be
came its victim. ‘ ■
The fears of the community prevented
her friends from attending her during her
sickness. Her husband, lied physician,' and
one or two attendants were the only persons
who were present to smooth down her dying
pillow. The same fears took away the ac
customed forms of a Christian burial. A
spot for her grave was pointed out, in the
grave-yard, remote from other graves, by
the proper authorities,'and at the dark - hour
of night, with none present but the husband,
the physician, and one or two fearless
friends, the burial took place. There was
no lung train of kindred to witness the cere
mony; the alilicted husband was the only
relative, who at the burial, ventured to shed
the last tear over the grave of the loved and
the departed. ’ „
Months rolled on, and black, melancholy
still brooded over the young,man but soon
loosened its hold, somewhat. Sorrow still
remained, but it was Boom mingled with
resignation. He resumed his accustomed
occupation, and seemed to forget the past,
The past was not forgotten, however, nor
the object, which the past had endeared to
him. The grave of his wife was solitary
and alone. Over that grave he resolved to
erect a monument, to her memory. That
monument, although a blacksmith by trade,
he chose to plan and work with his . own
hands. He procured the'rough blocks of
granite and commenced his pleasing task.—
livery leisure hour he could obtain was spent
on his favbrite work, other hand planned,
and. no ether hand, than his own, executed.
Months after months* alotie and unaided
with no knpwlcdge-of. the art except wha?

which, as a specimen of art,, is exceedingly

his wife. While it serves to call to mind
the niemory of the dead,, it speaks also of
tile constancy and purity of affections .which
death and lime could nut destroy. "
Experience of ft JVSccfynnic.
Two young men, both of whom were me
chanics, were married about the same time,
and entered life with apparently equal- pros
pects, except that one was rather given to
extravagance and fashion, while the .other
was mure prudent and frugal.' The wife of
the latter, however, being of a different turn
from her husband, became-uneasy because
the former, without any superior advantages,
made mure, show than he' did, and had
many more fine things. She told her hus
band that his income must be as great as (he
other’s, and. that she knew they were able to
appe,itr'‘ns,well as their neighbor.
“1 want to do ns other people do,” was
her all conquering argument. Her husband
yielded again and again to her entreaties,
although professing that he was not able.
At length his more showy neighbor failed 1
—And seeing their line things sold ..under
the hammer of the auctioneer, his wife, who
was far from being destitute of good feelings,
began to mistrust whether by imitating them
and “doing ns other folks do,” they might
not meet with a similar fate. She inquired
of her husband how his affairs stood. He
told her that his expenses had exceeded his
income, but he hoped to get through and pay
what he owed.
Before long, he was sued for.-his debts.; —
Then his wile, was in panics! She knew
that his misfmtune was chargeable to her
folly, although he never reproached her, uni
cast any unkind reflections. Disturbed with
conflicting emotions, she tried to, plan, some
way to get along-in this terrible difficulty 1
But finding,all her endeavors fruitless, she
said to her husbandTvilh unfeigned distress
“what shall we do? What cun we do?”
“Do?” he calmly replied, “wcniust do as
•otheTfolks do, have bur fine things sold un
der .the hammer!”
This was enough for her. She had been
the, beginning and ending of this common
folly, and.she was satisfied. From that time
he hud no trouble to persuade her to be fru
gal and prudent. They were both agreed in
pursuing the same course. And it is almost
useless to say that their prosperity was in
proportion to their wisdom and prudence.—

important duty twwhich helms been assign
ed by The head of the Navy Department, in
being placed in command of the Hume
Squadr'On. This squadron will probably
leave port in a few weeks. 1 Its; sailing has
thus been long.delayed, as we understand,
partly in conseqyeri.ee of the scarcity of sea
men, but more.from the heavy character of

- Indians, at Washington. —The . Wash
ington Correspondent of the Ncw'York Ex
press, under date of Saturday.week, says:—
“Thejdelegalions of Indians froth the Green
Bay country were to-day presented to the
President of the United States. They were
accompanied by the Stcr. tary of War and
their interpreter. The Indians came here
to represent the interests of their tribe, and
if possible to make some new regulation
with the Government which they regarded
as more advantageous to themselves. A
formal and interesting talk was held with
the I’icsldent, in which brief addresses were
made and responses given. A chief of the
I’ottawaUomics expressed a desire to change
on the part.of the tribe, certain utensils.al
lowed undfcr a former treaty, and mainly of
iron, for powder and ball. The President
in reply, persuaded him that there were
things more important than munitions of
war to the Indians, and the main one he ar
gued with great simplicity, earnestness and
effect, was that of education.- Instead of
spending (Im balance due from the Govern
ment to the tribe in the means of warfare,
the President told the Chief of the benefits
and blessings of an education to their chil
dren. . The Indian acknowledged the truth
of what, was said, promised to receive the
advice given in good faith, and to apply the
fund due to the establishment of schools a
mong the tribe. “Father,” said he, first ta
king all present by the hand, “me thank
you, and as long as rivers shall flow, and
the grass be green, we hope to be at peace
with, you.”
The President reciprocated the sentiment
and exhorted the Indian to leave off"his hun
ting, to cultivate the earth, and to be wise
and industrious. The. meeting continued
for about an hour,-and was of the must in
teresting character.
We accidentally heard ofadroll anecdote
yesterdy, which we believe is quite new and
original.
- Dispensing with all premising rigmaroles,
it is only necessary to state at once, that
Colonel Stentor was at one time a legislator
in a certain legislative hall. He had been
.an 1 till lab agent- among' tho Usages,'and I
whenever, lie took the floor, he Was exec;ed
of buff,dues,',-wolves, p'amjidrs, bears, foxes,
.and- all other ferheious animals. In this
Yiwy.his-guL to he quite a ii ton-him self, and
his opponents -all shrank in terror from his
roar. But on one occasion a young lawyer,
new upon the fiuor, but who knew the roar
ing Colonel'uf old, gut up and replied to him
as follows;
“Mr. Speaker, docs the gentleman imagine
he. is going to frighten us-down here w ith a
menagerie of wild beasts? "Thouginrih gen
tleman is so .anxious to le\ us know That he
was born in the woods, can he assert that he
was never scared by an owl? The honora

miniscence which may be related thus:

“A certain valiant gentlemen was once
benighted, even in his native woods, and
calling aloud for assistance from his dilemma,
he heard a-sepulchral, voice exclaim in'an
swer, 'Hao—boo—boo—boo- who arc you?'
The gentleman instantly replied at the tup
of his voice, T am Colonel David Crockett,

the distant stranger; 'and Mr. Speaker, (he
valiant Colonel was left by the owl to find
his own way out of the woods, which I pre
sume he did, as he-sits among us at present.”
The speech was interrupted throughout
with uproarious laughter, which echoed a
gainand again in.violent gusts for seine mo
ments after the juvenile member sat down.
At length to thc-surprisc of every body, Col
onel (Stentor rose with a witticism, and re
plied—

It is stated in the Wilkesbarre Farmer

curred last week at the coal mine, of George

by a family near the mouth of the mine, in
which two kegs of powder were deposited..
Some fracas occurred .amongst the men,
when, cither by accident or design, fire was

Interesting Question. — A very, inter
esting election is going on in the colony of
Rhode Island. It commenced on Monday
and was to continue three days. The ques-'
tioTT is whether a constitution shall be a--
duptcd.and a State.government established,
or whether Rhudp island shall remain as it
has always been, a colony under a' Uiitish
charter. The question-fur adoption comes
up in a somewhat novel manner, and will
hereafter no doubt be the occasion of novel
discussion, and engage the.skill of the con
stitutional lawyers in settling it properly.—
The Legislature being always composed of
of freeholders-—none ’others being allowed--
to vote or hold opce in the tcolony—has-al
ways refused to call -a, convention for the'
purpose of funning a constitution and estab-
government. The people at last
resorted to their own paruniount (authority
and called oh themselves, which was regu
larly adopted in convention, to which dele
gates haii been sept in the usual manner.—
It is supposed -by some (hat. the present pub
lic authorities «[!ll refuse-to -recognize the
new constitution,'and contest its validity,
cven'if a imtjiu ity bhould declare in.favor of
it. The adoption of the constitution is. not
to depend upon a majority of the votes ac
tually given-furor against it, but a .itiigori
’ty of all tlfc.adult male citizens in thtf State,

as ascertained-by tho census which lias just
been taken,' must y6te in favor of it in or
der (o’secure its adoption; the interesting
question will arise, when are the people jus
tified in acting for themselves? The pre
sent aspect of things in that State now is
revolutionary, but-nf a revolution, conceived,
ami carried out with all the forms of a legal
proceeding. There'was no other mode by
which the majority in that Statu could obtain
the right which every citizen ought to have*
that of an equal voice itr questions of public
policy; The whole theory of democratic
government is nothing mure'than the recog
nition of this principle—a principle.which,
is the foundation for our national, ns well as
each of the State constitutions except Uhode
Island. As the people of-this little Stale
have never formerly adopted a constitution
for themselves, they contend they have' the
right to adopt one now, and to choose their
own' time and mode of doing it. —Public

“MURDER WILL OUT.”
“About four years ago, a strolling organ
player came to this town, and remained lor
some lime, during .which time he became
acquainted with vuiiouy, persons in different
parts of the county, and would frequently
go to a house in a neighborhood and remain
a week or ten days, following up his.profcs
sion of‘organ grinding,’and from his social
and liberal character soon became a favorite
ajnong ..the: country people. In the mean
time it was ascertained that he liad a con
siderable amount'of money, in gold and sil

became acquainted nun a mm, whose name

duced the organ player frequently to ac
company him home to play lor his children,
and on one uccasiuii.he look him to his liou?e
to stay all. night, since which time he has
never been seen. The people in the upper

and not. notorious lor his ? honesty, the cm-,

i evidence sufficient tu.convict-hiin, and thus
I rid themselves of one whom' they consider

canie to light touching the murder of the or

{once lu bring a number of the connexions ol

organ player was known logo to the house
ol the borlher of the ’prisoner on a certain
flight, to slay all night, that he was sc.en by
a young woman in the house to go up slabs
to bed.. The wife of the murderer in a day

pointing up to the 101 l said, “have you no
dyes —can’t you see for yourself ?”
The old lady turning her attention to this
part of the house, saw at once the cause ol
her daughter’s trouble —a murder had been
committed. There she saw plaihly signs of
blood where rtdjad dnipped from the upper
Hour, and upon going up st;ii'rs found a.gieat
deal more blood. It appears that the indi
viduals knowing these circumstances, have
kept them secret up to the present time,
partly from ■ fear and partly from a regard
fur family connexions. A very strong cir
cumstance against The supposed “murderer,
was that at about the time of the disappear
ance of the organ player, he was seen to have
a large amount,of specie, and a certificate
of deposite on one of the-banks of-Agusta,
and- the organ-player-wasTtnown to have a
large amount of specie apd a certificate on
an Augusta, Bank. ' Evidence enough, if
we have heard the truth, has been obtained,
to condemn the accused, and the. citizens
in the neighborhood who are acquainted
with the circumstances, have no doubt but
that the organ player was murdered and
robbed.
