YEMALE HEROISM.
%there are many anecdetes on record of remark-I
able feats of heroism performed by the matrons of
America during the revolution, Atieh goes to prove
5
that tieilher Patriotism nor valor is posse ed
the masculine gender of our species.
But there rtp a kind or heroista in some families
`that We:is:tow:of, which aO'lfas suipasset any thing
of the'character abova :banned, as beauty and sym
ntetry surpass ugliness and deformity in cornett.
•::IM. have no titled-nobility, nor recognized aris
' tocr4ey; in this country ; ',but we have that which
is less tolerable—a class Who tape the character of
aristocrats,' on account of the acres of land which
the gteateit of all radical i!errors in' our borrowed
social systena enables them to monopolize ; the
houses they have Leen enabled to purchase or build,
by ,the,prolits they have :taade out of the labor of
the-poor; and the ships, tbo merchandise and the.
Jnoney, whirls they have Obtained in various ways,
• nioialy by - overreaching craft. This is a species
Of ariStecrack, which is most disgestitis,F, because
`._j generally possesses the least charity, the least
SyMpally, the least mind , anti the most supercili
warless and insolence of any of which it is a cart
nature: . -
It is. habitual with this, bloat offensive species of
the genui lucto to sneer contemptuously at all those
for whom nature has done much, and whom for
tine has left ter toil for a ilivelihood. It is painful
taus that - n4 find it our rimy, on any occasion, to
deal harshly with any poion of our country-wo
men;,who maintain a reptitable standing in society ;1
but justice compels us to 'say that the unlovely arl
istocratic spirit above alluded to is more generally
cherished by them than by the other sex. Although
there aremany noble exceptions among them, they
are generally filled with the rankest enmity against
those of their sex who are less favored by fortune,!
but store si , erfectly mOuled and finished by nature,'
thiniThernselves.
A beautiful girl wee , frequently seen sitting in
. • with 'squire Gi'S tonally, at the
•.! Church. A younF , ' gentleman whose attention had
_ been often attracted than, way by her fine figure,
her. rose-tinted complexion. and her eyes which
artlessness, purity and loveliness wete beaming!
through, ventured to inquire of the aristocratic
• Miss Julia Flunket, whet: the piling lady, WAS, to
Whom his willing vision'would ro frequently turn
from every other objectd' 'Now, Miss Flunket had I
observed, with much green-eyed vexation, that the
• eyes of the interrogator were fixed upon the object
of his inquiry more frequently than she was wit- I
ling to tolerate, and sherwas heartily glad of an
opportunity to give vent to the spleen which had
'Leen some time accumulating. Accordingly, she,
gave a few more degress of elevation to her nasal
•
organs, whose warty extremity naturally inclined
. • to a. zenith, and ansacred, with a sarcastic smirk.
SL Well, upon my word, George, you have at length
fallen in lose : I always-thought your choice would
fall upon some such 'd piece of red and vv bite
Lorne-spun. The would•be thought beauty who',
fascinates you so much in church, that you have
neither eyes nor ears for any body or any thing
else, is a distant relative of Mrs G., who sent for
her to come and stay a few weeks, and make sum
_suer :clothes for her children. ;she is a fen ing gill,
sir! te, he, he, he !'
And this is the kind Of reproach which is con•
stoutly cast upon those females whose places
fortune does not appoint in the lap of opulence.
It is-this which produces more infamy and mice ,
ry in the female portion of comunity than all
other causes put together. It requires a greater
degree of bravery in as, young female to encosin-1
ter these missiles of sarcasm than it does a Taylor'
or a Scott to encounter all the powers of Mexico. l
Yet wand many of them who have the courage
to work with their hands for an honest livelihood,
aril not unfrequently to assist in procuring the
necessaries of li:e for destitute parents and helpless
brothers mail sisters. Reader, if you are a youilg
Man, and know such anyone, though she have no,
more of what the world calls wealth than a sin
gle suit of clothes, she would contribute ten thou
sand times more to your happiness during life than I
such an line as she upon whom we have bestow
ed the name of Miss fulia Flunket with the for
tune of a princess. We have a real character in
our mind's eye, whom we have heard talk exact
ly in the style which we have given to :Wass Julia.

HOW WILL YOU HAVE IT
Thee has Leen a great deal of disputation among
those ti, ho are philologists, and among those 1410
are. not, about "is being." and our g6od friend
Chandler, of the United States Gazette, to whom
and to the memory of worthy dog Rolla, all
honor is due, has fought many a stout battle on
the field referred to. "'is being built" and so forth,
receives his sanction ; and he must talk, if it please
him, to the Boston Chronotype ou the score of the
following, which good ; butt/tiredly makes what
Chic calls " a hit—a flalpuble hit :
• "Waiter, I say, is my chicken broiling ?"
"No, sir; the cook ii."
" But I didn't order the cook. He is too tough."
How will you have.it done„then, sir !"
"How will I have it done? Why 1 want it broil.
ed, to be sure?''
"That he is doing„ sir.''
"But your,said he was broiling hinuuy."
"So he is, but he is not being boiled.'

Yes, sir---ee?" '

; -The Rich au& tho Poor.
It has been asserted, on many occasions, that
Mr. Webster, the great leader of the Hartford Con
vention-Federalists, in the course of one of his
electioneering speeches, a few years since, pro
claimed: the doctrine, that the government should
guard the interests of the rich ; and the rich would
take care of the poor. This is a doctrine strongly
favored by the Whigs, in all their great measures;
and it is one v‘hich has been condemned, on all
occasions, by the Democratic party. We contend,
as Democrats, for equal and exact justice to all
imen, in every condition of life," of whatever reli
gious or political opinions. We contend, not for
the especial pfotection of any class of men by our',
I government: but for such enactments as will "se
-1
'cure to honest labor the bread which it has earn
ed." This is among the fundamental principles
of the Democratic party; and is among those
which constitute the distinctive differences between
Democracy and Federalism.
Every thinking man well knows, that even un
der our free institutions, the tendency of associated
wealth is to aristocracy; and that, where aristoc
racy prevails, it needs not any especial prmection
against the power which may be exerted by the
poor : that it readily finds the means to add to its
own influence; and may, on many +slops, rise
superior to the law, while acting - limits
This needs not, we presume, to be Woven by a t
long process of reosoning; for one or two plain I
questions. which may be answered by all, will
show that our pOsition is true. How many large
establishments engaged in Ale various branches of
manufacturing have failed in our Muntry,
de
priving the poor operatives engaged in them, of ece-1
ry cent due them on the books of the establishment ,
while the large and more wealthy creditors have '
Perhaps lost not a dollar ? How many of our pa
-ler money manufactories have exploded, leaving
their princlipal managers rolling in wealth, while
the poor man, and even the helpless widow and
rph in, has been deprived of the hard cdrnings of
months, and perhaps years? And how can we
account for this state of things, but upon the as
sumptions that we have taken ? The exrerience
of every observing ir,ind will sustain us in this
position.
We know that in taking such ground as this, we
are liable to awaken the cry against us of attempt
ing to array the pour against the rich, but we
regard not such a ciy. We know that riches and
poverty are antagonistic conditions, let men say
what they may, with a view to accomplish pur
;owes of deception; and we know that the at ray
P.LvLpfrs
of wealth is against the unfortunate, the enduring
poor. Therekre, it is mere hypocrisy to talk of riot.

which truth is compelled, at times, to pass.—
Who cheapen to the last farthing the of - feted i
productions of the gardener, the butcher, and llst eo . J:a —lle are glad to oliSerse that some of
the small dealer in our market produce l—, • the transporters have put mules upon their finest
Nut, in general, the hard working, honest poor, ; i n the place of horses. They will reap profit from
who know the value of labor, and are willing' this change. Skinner, of the Farmers . Library, has
to gise to it a just award ! No, far from been, for the last twenty years, endeavoring to

tore, is to be found in the ranks of the poor, and I
those in merely comfortable circumstances, than
among the wealthy. Indeed, those men whose
leading design is the attainment - of wealth, are, in
general, of all others, possessed of the! least degree
of kindness and consideration for their fellow be
ings; and arc, therefore, as it were, disqualified
from becoming active ageots in the work of mel
iorating the condition of mankind.
We have said that Poverty and Wealth are an.
[agonistic conditions. ' So they are destined to re
main, while the mere circumstance of wealth shall
give a manpower to control the actions—whether
physical or intellectual—of his fellow man; and
this is now the case, even in our own country, to
a most lamentable extent. What then, are we to
do? Seek to pioduce an open rupture between
the extremes of society I This would not avail
o produce any good result: for, by a resort ti
physical force, a state of things no more desirable
might be produced. No; we would nut array
one class of society against another; but we would
tell to the unfortunate poor, that they are as much
men, as much entitled to consideration and regard,
if virtuous, and as much entitled to:a just and fair
compensation for their services—by which they,
are to obtain food and raiment, and provide against
the encroachments - of disease, as any other portion !
of society. We would tell them that their chit.
dren are as much entitled to instruction.(and they,
are as moth required-to make provision for them)
as those of any other class. We would strive to
impress upon them their obligations to themselves,
to their families, to their country, and to their
race; and if, in doing so, we must speak of things
as they are, we know of no better means, by which
to accomplish our object. We would impress upon
the minds of all men that the mere acquisition of
wealth—though affording to the individual the
means of obtaining all he may desire, is not the
means by which true happiness is to be acquired
That though he may possess the wealth of a Gi
rard, or a Rothschild, or that of the more ancient
capitalist\Crcesus, unless with it he manifests that
concern fur, and attention to, the wants of his fel
low beings, which his superior weans will allow
him to manifest, he does not—he cannot fill the
station which God would seem to have destined
man to fill. All His works are in harmony; and
that cannot be the work of God which produces
positive evil in any part 'of His vast dominion.
That cannot be tore happiness which is surrounded
by actual want of the comforts of lifa; and those
comforts cannot be obtlined honestly; unless labor
shall have a just reward. •

;
ANDP . IIpPRIETOR
We have been led to make nide' remarks, mainly,
from.the perusal of an article in the gazette, of
the 17th instant; on " The moral dignity of labor."
In that Article are several positions-which we
would not attempt to 'controvert, They are ab
stract truths inCthemselves; and are therefore not
to be controverted ; but ,the inferen . tes which the
editor draws from those truths, we do question;
and the have therefore felt it to be our duty to dis
sent tolhem. We most especially object to his
conclusion that "..ds health and crontentriteni are tkr
greatest good of all, so true happiness, it will be
found, is equally distributed among all."
So far as the dispensations of Divine Wisdom
are concerned, we admit that true happiness doA
not depend on the condition of man, viewed with
reference to the amount of wealth he may possess;
he must be either more or less than man who
can be content without a competence; and this
competence, even in our country, is not possessed
to that extent among the laboring class, which
would - lead to the equal enjoyment of happiness
with those who are,one step in advance of them i
I but who have not reached the point at which they
would be denominated wealthy. '
The Chichgo Couvention.
The great River and Harbor Convention is to
assemble at Chicago, 111., ou the sth of July. We
see it stated, that it has been so arranged that the
various steamers, carrying delegates, will arrive at
the same moment, on the day previous, the ever
memorable and glorious Fourth of July. ',As the
vast array of floating palaces approach the shore,
a grand welcome salute will be fired by the citi
zens. This, certainly, will add a great deal to the
interest of the occasion.
The Convention, we may here state, was called
by the business men of the mighty west, who take'
an interest in the improvemeot of the navigation
of the western Lakes and Rivers. There was-no
party feeling operating upon the minds of those
who were active in getting up the Convention.—
This being the case, we regret very much to learn
that a portion of the whips appear disposed to give
the Convention a party character. No good man
of any party will teem] or sanction any such
movement. If such. a bias is given to the Con
% r ention, it had better not be held, for it will only
engender.strite, and produce the worst feeling ima
ginable. But we earnestly hope that those who
wish to give a party complexion to the Conven
tion are few in number, and of no influence, even
with their own political friends.
We copy Irvin the Boston Feet the following ar
tide in reverence to this matter:
THE RIVER AND Hannon CON I'ENTION —A
meeting
of citizens of Massachusetts will be held
on this day, at the Tremont Temple,. commencing
at 11 o'clock, A. M., to eject delegates - to the con
ventir.n which is to he hel,l at Chicago, 111, on the
sth of .luly next. The object of the Chicago con
vention is to consider the condition of the niers
arid lakes of the west, and to take measures to se
cure appropriations by the general government for
the improvement.or their navigable capacity.—.
The Chicago convention sen< . called by western
citizens belongir;_to Loth of die two great politi
cal parties' ‘rth - ral ` diode the country, with the
avowal that no partizan object should influence its
proceedings, or pattizro feeling be countenanced,
or permitted, 111 its deliber4aions, but that ‘a higs
and democrats were invited to attend the conven
tion for the purpose of considering the important
object of 'western internal improvement. unpreju
diced by political jealousies, and Eta:CUTc from an
noyance by party contest In violation of this
plan for the action of the convention, we are sorry
to say that the Boston Alias has already made it
the occasion of a bitter partizan assault upon the
President of the Unite] Stales, and thus interposed
a serious obstacle to its 6ticressful issue. %Vt.! will
du the gentlemen who called the meeting ut the
Temple the justice to say that we do nut belte , e
hey will approve of the course of the .Idas upon
this subject.
La kyr. Munur.—The remains of
,this young
soldier were borne to Greensburgh on Saturday,
and yesterday were interred. We understand that
a will was found among his papers, in which he
bequeathed his property to the families of those
members of Capt. Johnson's company who may
be killed in the battles il) Mexico. This is certainly
a noble disposition of the small fortune he has left.
3 The Chronicle. and Telegraph are into each
other some. We dare say both sides will become
meat.asey ere many more passes. And it's all
about a hat and four white ponies. We hope for
the best, but fear a terrible result.
The. Indiana State Journal says that a Mrs.
Devore, of Johnson county, gave birth on Sunday
evening, 30th ult., to four healty children—one boy
and three girls, the whole of them weighing 19 . 6
pounds. The children bid fair to live, and the
mother is doing as well as could be expected um
der the circumstances. • w ,
Tows Croce.—They do say that 31r. Town
ley has commenced putting up the new town clock
in the steple of the third Presbyterian Church.—
As money enough has notyet been raised to defray
expenses, we presume Sid. Townley has great con
fidence in the integrity of our citizens.

p'The amount of moneys received by the
Custom House at New Orleans, last year, during

");here is no grade in the service, from an or-I
derly sergeant to a brigadier general. that has not
been Idled during the presekt a War by a graduate of
our national military school' serving with the vol

every officer named in the above list (which is
known to be very incomplete) was ekrted by the
volunteers—thus emphatically falsifying the asser
lion's° often made on the floors of Congress, that
the volunteers would never consent to serve under

stinct of self preservation, extending to honor as
well as life, has inthieed the volunteers to elect,
i whenever it was practicable, graduates of the Mil.

There was a volcanic eruption about the first of

running down the mountain, destroyed many
houses and plantations, and caused some loss of
life.
The shock was distinctly felt on the neighbor
ing islands, and caused much alarm-at Port Prays,
where the vibrations were very violent and almost
unceasing for seven or eight days. The crater of
Foga is 12,000 lee above the sea, and eruptions
occur once in 20 or 30 years.

that France would defend the right of the Thitchess
of Montpensier to the-Spanish succession, in case
of the death of her sisser without issue. The fol

or rather recalled, our activity in that country, it
