. Condition of the Federal Parly.
> Our opponent s are at present in a most delight
ful state of dissonance, if \ve {are to judge from
the tone of their leading presses. But we cannot
help thinking, th it there is a deep-laid scheme, in
all this apparent jarring, to impose upon the peo
ple. They havj always enjoyed, from the earliest
period of their History, the means of effecting a
thorough organization; and they can act with
much more promptitude than we can. They know!
this j end, therefore, we think they are only prepa
ring the way, wider these appearances of dissen
sion, for a concentrated movement, entirely differ-'
ent from that a> which they profess to be aiming.
Indeed, one of their organs, (who certainly has
the capacity fore ‘arming into some of their secrets,)
has boldly said, that the movements so ostenta
tiously made by the friends of Mr. Clay, are only
'intended to prec?de the transfer of the entire Fed-1
era! parry to th i support ol Gen: Taylor.
This simple tvow-al, would not have beenTuffi
cient to satisfy us, that they design to play a deep
• game—3uch as theirdistinguished leader was once
, famous at,—in which there is an expression o
, going it bliniT! Intimations, of a S'milar char
acter, have apjieared in many of the Federal
prints;—they contend lor a no party candidate
find fault with ten. Taylor for haring written toof
. much; and will Mr Clay for having gone too far
. in denouncing the war—(t/n's only in one or
States) —at, d would have their candidate aay
nothing about h s opinions; but leave to the Peo-I
- {tie the task of liuding them out, or believing ol
them, as they pleuse. They know that the prin
ciples of Fedenlism, called by whatever name
they may be, arc odious to the mass of the Peo
ple; and they trust, Iherefere, practice some sys
tern of deceptio i, it they can hope, to succoed.
Mr. C|ay, we know, is lidly committed, on all j
- points; and they know that he has been so often i
defeated, —that he is so odious in the eyes of the
masses—that hi can never be elected; and they
know, too, that le is the veritable “ embodiment''
of their rial principles. In all honor, then, (and
there is some ho for even among rogues.) they are
bound to make a show of supporting him, before
their Convention shall be held, that they may the
more easily tin I a way by which to escape a
jfourtk'defeat, under his standard. i
Our ideas on this subject bare been more fully!
confirmed, by reading the articles by the editor oil
the. New York 1 libune, for some time past, than
from any thing coming from any other quarter. (
From one of these we make ibe extract given be-!
low. Gbzclt is one of the mosi envenomed op-j
ponents of the rren and measures of the Demo-j
erotic party, to he lound in the ifniied States; and!
there is nothing belonging to Whiggery, which he!
Jdoes not swallow at once. He is not deficient in
knowledge of political and historical facts; andi
•when we find sich a man as this, coming boldly
forward, to sustain a thrice defeated chieftain, we
are necessarily led to question the sincerity of the
act; He regards nothing, peihaps, as much, as
the success .oplhe Federal parly ; and it is cer
tainly impossible for him lo see any thing, in the
illimitable future, by which le can vouchsafe
any thing hut defeat, under the man, for whom
be is so warmly contending.
r, “Who Is there whom the uhigs universally re
*«rd with equal confidence and admiration as
they do Mr. Clay? Who is (here for whom they
are prepared to make equal exertions and sacrifi
ces! Does any one know any « hig votes which
Mr. Clay cannot abtain ? And if he would he
defeated only because there are not whig voles e
'nough to elect him, ought we to reek”to carry
anybody else? 1
“But admit, for argument's sake, that there are
inveterate prejudices against Mr. Clay, to which
spate other. Whig would not he obnoxious—that a
considerable number of voters will not vote lor
. him, who could yet be influenced to vote for some
other Whig, and thus insure success instead of de
feat—we are yet to see the evidence that General
Taylor is the man to supplant him. Here is a
veiy important point nimbly slid over by the spec
ulatore in Taylorism. Say that we must giqe ui.
Mr. Clay, and does it follow that we must turn
on all. Statesmanship whatever? Shall
we pass hy the giant intellect and ripe experience
of Webster, the rare Executive talent and lolty
.purity of M Lean, the moral heroism and stirring
eloquence of Corwinj the lucid analysis and vigor
°®» rhetoric Of Clayton, to choose our leader from
the, camp which from youth has been his home,
and accept his undoubted ability ,to set a squad!
ron in the field Or breast a charge ol bayonets as
proof positive of his fitness to preside over Cabi
nets and guide the destinies of Nations ? Let us
have the proof of Gen. Taylor’s capacity to bring
victory to the standard; not of anembattled Army,
but of an enlightened and reflecting party.”

my ideas of property are based upon this law of; : JOHN ALLEN
distributive justice. Labor creates’every thing.—
Labor owns every thing. God has not njade a
mistake in giving men the passion or the faculty
of acquisitiveness. The possession of the faculty
is -the justification of its exercise. Its exercise
implies the right ot appropriuth,'dr the right of
individual property. . *
; Labor is a trinity It implies three productive
forces. Effort from day to day, or present labor, ]
executive power, forecast, skill, or future labor,— !
arid implements|oi industry, improvements, &c.,
oij pasj labor. Each of these productive forces

ing its dtied labor or capital, and bestowing it as
an inheritance upon its child. Individual proper
ty is demanded as ah external expression ohtbese

The rights of skill are based on the intellectual
passions of the soul,-viz: causality, comparison:
and ideality, or in other words, synthesis, analysis
and observation—or, to use the language of the]
School, Composilisra, Cabalism, and Altematism.
I he se three intellectual faculties compose the ex
ecutive powers, or skill. They give direction ij
industry—they render it efficient and productive,
and are entitled to share in the general result.
The rights of present industry, |abor from day
to day, are based upon the sensitive attractions
j which express themselves through -th e organs of
| ta*te, smell, touch, sight, and hearing The hands
labor, that the sense of taste may preside o«r the
kingdom of flavors; smell over the aromal sphere;
touch is graliliedpn the realization of' outward com
fort and luxury in our surroundings j sight in the
enjoyment of harmonies of colors and flowers, and
hearing, of musical accurds. I'hey ask for an
external destiny propoitional to their innate wonts.
They demand the results of industry for: their'
present satisfaction, and may claim ; as their own
a share of its products. Upon the recognized
tights of the twelve radical passions, composing
the human soul, is based the law Of distributive'
justice, which, in Association, givesjto past labor,
oil capital, four-twelths: to executive labor, or skill
thi-ee.twelfths; and to pr sent labor* five-twellths.

as equally important to the welfare of society, jand

i (C/ - A water dealer was yesterday morning in a
s jtd predicament on account of the jackautdntit
of his horse. He backed him into the Allegheny,
the old bridge, filled his barrel, and then ap
plied whip to force the animal' out; which his
Ihorseship absolutely refused to do. A full hour
was spent in mean, forcible persuasion, outrageous,
calm, Ac., Ac., but all to no purpose. There he
sgtood, and the commander was nonplussed entire
ly- [ln course of time, some sympathizing friends
upon shore, concluded to lend assistance, which
•tiros readily accepted A huge rope was procu
# red, one end of which was conveyed to the water
cart, soon fastened to the shaft, and then the
crowd ashore gave a long pull, a strong pull. Ac ,
= ahd pulled out the horse from the water, and the
fjjriver from his difficulty. He will probably
abandon the trade, or get a more tractable animal.

After trying many kinds of medicine, 1 came to the

your Vegetable Lithontnptic Mixture was recom

and by ao doing found ilsuccessfel in curing. After
using two large and one small bottle she believed
herself entirely cured.- ~! give :yon this testimony,
hoping it may prove a benefit to those who are afflic
