Come list to my song, I will not keep you long. Nor weary your patience with mumbling; And as times are so hard, Let us party discard, For in truth, there is cause fur much grumbling. Time was, when the nation could pay off her debts, And the people, the specie keep fumbling— But the Tares upset, And each partizan pet, Now pockets the change, but--“no grumbling." . Though Martin Van Buren, Should bring us to ruin, And leave us, the TAXES to pay ! Who prromtsed us gold! When our produce we sold, If we joined in the war 'gainst .Nick Biddle.!" Or who praised us most, With a speech or a toast Though their motive, to us was a nddle ! My friends, do you doubt “Democratic" Swartwout, Lo;es the people, whose specie he's fumbling ! Or do you suppose, He will feel fur woes! If he does, 'tis the change, so—"no grumbling" Though Martin Van Buren, Should bring us to ruin, And leave us the TAXES to pay ! It would keep me too long, To set forth in a &mg, All the tricks of the Administration ; And tho' it seem turmige, They are so fond of change— They spend all the funds of the nation ! Defaulters may run, We acknowledge the fun They have, when the specie they're futribliug— Ay, for them, it is Due! but—"no grumbling !" Though Martin Van Buren, tihould bring us to ruin, And leave Ub the TAXES to pay ! They have gulled us before, • But they II do so no wore, With their cant—about Banks and oppression; They may silver their bait, But they'll find it'e too late, To fish for the prize in SUCCESSION ! They 'have run us in debt, And may ruin us yet, If we let them the specie keep fumbling: But if "TIPPEC A NOE" Can yet partly undo Their mad plans, we say try, and—“no grumbling" Thnuet M inin Van Buren, Should bring us to ruin, And leave us the TAXES to pay ! Pottsville, June 18th. 1840. J M C 1 ide-Water Canal., At the recent Celebration of the opening of Sus. quehanna and Tide Water Canal, the sixth regular toast was given as follows: Mr. Nicholas Biddle, being called upon for a re ply addressed the company as follows. ADDRESS OF N. BIDDLE, ESQ. Mr. BIDDLE said, that as one of the Stockholders of Philadelphia, he returned thanks for the cordiality with which the sentiment had been yeceived. lu the early stages of the work some fears had been enter tained lest the trade of Pennsylvania might be thus divested from ail exclusively Pennsylvania chan nels. But this anxiety was only momentary. We believed that it was due to the great inter ests of the interior that they should be allowed to seek their natural course to the sea that this trade, after it reached the Chesapeake, would still be an object of generous competition between our two commercial cities—and more especially we felt that too often neglected to the jealousy of rivals, there is quite root enough in the world for us all. We, therefore, the stockholders of Pennsylvania us.ite as cordially as you do. gentlemen, of Maryland, in celebrating the success of our joint labors. But, for myself, j, rej..ice the more at it, because its completion, and the respectable assemblage who have come to witness it, prove the unabated interest felt in the prosecution of those great works which are now in danger from the caprices of public opi. mon. Some years ago, with the characteristic en thusiasm of our countrymen, and some touch per haps, of their imprudence, we began an extended, system of internal communication. But before the works are finished, the general trouSles of both Eu. rope and America rendered it more difficult to raise the funds for their completion, and some disappoint ment arose in the sanguine hopes of immediate pro fit from them ;—so that now the ardor with which we began is succeeded by a relaxation of effort, by a tone of subdued expectation, nay often ty a timid and childish despondency. Men begin to complain how much these works have cost,—as it we expected to have them fur nothing. They lament that we have paid more than the estimates, as if any man ever built a dwelling or a barn that did not cost more than was at first imagined. They regret that there wan much waste in erecting them, as if, in a career, totally new, young nations, like young men, must not pay for their experience—too happy to have youth, with all its elatticity„on their aide, to repair, a thousand fold, all their errors. These are the maudlin lamentation, of men unfit to lead a great nation. Instead of disparaging or re gretting, or desponding over them, we should be proud of them, as the noblest achievements of the country. Cut off, by die happy tranquility of the world, from the pursui' ef military glory. the great disticctitin among nation s is their advance in clvi. lization—in moral instruction, in social improvement --coortii especially in enterpises for developing their resources; and in these we may claim for the emus 'O , of ibis infant nation, a superiority both in the character and the multitude of its works, over not merely the ancient nations, but over the foremost of our cotemporaries. With respect to ancient times, one may he allowed to wonder or to smile at those stupendous monuments which our childhood was drilled to admire. Take for instance the pyramids of Eqpt. Within a space 'of on& hundred miles, there are in Egypt about two hundred masses of rocks, brought from adistance and piled into_sthat are called pyramids. .A single one of thosO lotWtiniatal to contain sixty millions of tons of stotte-4nd to build one of them required the labor of one hundred thousand men for ;twenty years, Look, then, et the immense *we human labor We have often been told, There was "plenty of gold," . 72 [ ' t, , upon there huge absnrdities in Stone. For no- man can tell Who'built theni--no Man' can tell what they were built for—end the only important discovery which has rewarded the lab Ors of our day, is a parcel of relics which proved to be. not as was fondly hoped, the remains of at least a sovereign--but the mers thigh bone of a cow ! Alongside of these pyramids is iilow sandy desert, about sixty miles long, where a canallroto the Red Sea to the Mediterranean, would cutoff the circumnavigation of the whole coa -1 tinent of Afri‘ca. This canal. or krequiring one fourth of the labour o f'tbat which we this day visited, was at last made by the4.fforts of a succession of Egyptian Kings—but efterwarciii\elosed, and now no longer exists. 'Why there is it\ little strip of land about five moss acme from Corinth, where a canal would save the circuit of the Mores. Pall a dozen emper: ors, and the greatest of them all. Juliva Cesar among the number, triedlu vain to make this canal, which was , abandons !! because it is said they didtu N n under stand how to make locks, such as we see before us. Commit with !hese the gigantic utilities of this coun try. Remember, for it semi but yesterday wheria , few of us Semi an Engineer to Europe to inquire about those strange novelties which rumor had an nounced under the name of Railroads.. While they have made little progress in Europe—out of England —there'ate in this country, according, to the repqrt of the Austrian Commissioner sent to examine them, more than four thousand miles of railroads—and in return for the mission of our Engineer, there have been Commissioners sent by the governments of France and Russia and Austria. to examine and to take models of these improvements. The American locomotives are used both in England and on the Continent. It is probably true that there are more Canals and Railroads in the United States than in the whole of Europe put together. And shall we not feel proud of these distinctions? The first to invent and use the Steamboat—the foremost in Canals and RailroaN—the great tests of civilization;—are not these worth money—are they not worth infinitely more then ] money? Dees not every man of us feel better„because he belongs to an active and distin guislied community? And shall we be dissuaded from these high pursuits—by small calculations, and smaller calculators—as if a great 'nation could be ci phered out of its renown ! But these honors stand by the side of great res ponsibilities—and we are now called upon to prove that we are worthy of them. 'lrriu all remember that three years ego, when the great commercial embar rassments fell upon us, our merchants were largely indebted to Enrupe, and there arose abroad intense alarms about these debts. But true to themselves and to their country, the American merchants. made the most extraordinary efforts to pay their debts, and all Europe rang with applauses of the energy 4111.1 uprightness of the commercial character of this na tion. And now, when the States themselves have become in turn I the debtors, the same alarms are re newed, sharpened by the violence of political antipa thies. It is a favorite theme, with those who wish to degrade all free institutions, that these . Democratic Governments of ours may do well onough in the sunshine, but are wholly unfit for storms ;—that our Democratic assemblies are prompt to borrow but im potent to pay;—and that in the loose and feeble structure of our political system the representatives are afraid to ask, and the people unwilling to give the supplies necessary to sustain their credit. Now, it is our duty to stand up for the governments of our own choice—to prove that a democracy is just as bor.est as the most servile despotism—that as all the people have voted to borrow, and all shared in its benetits, all are for that • reason the more ready to pal. That truth we must demonstrate at all hazards and at every sacrifice at all. • For, atter all, what is this debt of ours! Take the most indebted of all the States—out own Pennsyl. vania. She 'owes a debt of thirty-five mill.ons of dollars--payable* through a , long series' of years— during which her improvement are growing in. pro ductiveness, and all that is now wanted is the more interest on it. Thirty-five millions! Why the pre sent debt olFrance is one thousand minions of dol lars, all of which is absolutely gone without leaving a single particle of benefit. Spent at Moscow—spent at Waterloo—spent in first conquering the Allies and then in paying indemnities to these rime Allies when they in turn became conquerors. Thirty.five millions! Why the debt of England is four thousand millions of dollarstotally.eunk like that of France —invested in profitless victories and irreparable losses—so many millions for losing America—su many =Ohms for subsidizing the Continental Pow ers—so many more for invading France—but all gone forever: While for the whole of our debt we have acturlly in our posstsision the improvements purchased by it in full operation—yielding a paesent revenue to be infinitely augmented hereafter, and adding to the value of the property a hundred fold their cost. Look again : The entire debt of the whole twenty-six States of the Union is not 'tnore than one-fifth of the debt of France—nor one-twen tieth of the debt of England --spent without a ves tige remaining. To anticipate any infidelity to such engagements is a reproach not less on their under- - standing than on their integrity. Not to sustain their credit, is to thraw away all future resources of that kind for the completion of these works them. selves--amen how can a state expect to be trusted i hereafter, if it faithless to those who trusted it be fore.. But a far nobler motive is the dishonor which it would bring, not merely on the Slates, but on the great cause of political\ freedom. Whatever shades of ditainction we may find among ourselves, to fo reign nations we are easentially one single people. The stain which falls on the \youogest members of the Confederacy. spreads over' the whole. The States are firmly linked, hand in hind with each other, and the electric shock. which touches one, in stantly thrills through the whole. The first State, then, which 'dell be false to its engagementithould be tabooed—Stricken from the rolls. Her fallen`star would be binned from the nation's flag as no Binger worthy to share its glories—her very soil would be deemed pestilential, and men would go round its borg dare to shun its inftztion. But that can never be. U fora barren tract of pine logs--or even a more barren diplomatic punctilio, we should be summoned" to war for some teal or imagined 'wrong—when once the blood of the country is up, no samifice of men or treasure - Would be withheld, and shall we be leas 1 zealous to redeem the pledged honor of the nation States truly ionietimes be overborne by numbers in a field othattlesometimes desolated by pestilence —but a voltintny dishonor— = s disgrace by act of Assembly--thiii el:altering with our own hands blight over orugolden horsiest fields—is hzconesis.. able.

We private citizens have given them the coun't's ho• flora ; let them preserve the country's honor. Dis trust these paltry demagogues by whom "public life is too often invested—men mill no property to as sess'and no character to lose ;—men who make a scanty living by the trade of popularity, and who fear to hazard the least portion of their precarious subsistence. These men are always ready to in flame our passions against each other, but never dare to remind us of our duties, because they can succeed only by bringing tie down to their own level. It is such men, and such men alone, who would whisper into, the country a ear these base counsels—plunder the strangers who have confided in us. But the true statesman will scorn such appeals to our selfishness. It is his duty, instead of yielding to these momentary weaknesses which will occasionally overshadow for a moment the brightest public spirit, to rally up the country. to the high thoughts which befit its destiny— to fix its gaze upon some elevated object, and carry -his countrymen up to it, regardless of the timid who falter and the faithless who desert.

They will be answered from every quarter with instant acid cordial co-ope ration—for where is the moo in this whole nation from the humblest to the highest, who has an Ame rican heart within him, who would not cheerfully pay his part of the burden, rather than bear his share of the dishonor ?

Har rison was nominated in December last, he was too poor for the Van Burenites. They said he lived in a "log cabin" and drank hard cider." Now, how ever, he is too wealthy. The cannot support him because he is so very rich. Besides, say they, he holds an office worth $6OOO a year. Let us see how true this is. The f tllawin4 is an extract from a pri vate letter written by Gen. Harrison to a blend ,of his in Missouri, d,.ted the 13th of February !esti ', I have actually, froth necessity, been obliged to give up thee. rrespondence of many of my best fnetals. HAVING GIVEN UP MY OFFIt.E TO MY SUN-IN-LAW, which, (from the creation of a new circuit,) affords only to him a decent supp - trt, it be came necessary to raise the families of three deceased suns and one living one solely dependant upon me, and to pay the interest of some $lO.OOO debt, 'to make the greatest personal exertions with the means which my farm afforded. I accordingly made con tracts fur supplying large quantities of stone and Line, and wood for burning three millions of brick. fur ilia use of a tunnel of a canal which is 'being made through my land. Throughout the summer and autumn, I was employed daily, from early dawn until night in' this business. Every moment of my spare time was occupied in the attempt to keep up my correspondence, but it. was in vain. Many other letters, I assure you, besides yours, of the same pe nod, remain unanswered to this day." This shows how the candidate of the people is situated, and how be -spends his time. He is not like the gold-spoon candidate of the office-holders, rolling in wealth and luxury. He does not receive a salary of ,$25,000 per year, and sport FRENCH FURNITURE, GOLD PLATE, and an IMPORTED CAR. mune, as Mr. Van Buren does; but he follows the honest occupation of an Atuerinan farmer. No won der be is obnoxious to the sneers and condemnation of the aristocratic office-holders. In addition to the foregoing, the following state went has been published by one of the most respect able citizens of Cincinnati. • 4. John C. Symities Harrison, eldest son of Gen. Harrison, was Receiver of the Public moneys, at Vincennes, during the late war. Captain Prince, then a disbursing officer of the United states, in good standing. applied to him to ca.'h a check on the Go. vernment for $5OOO, alleging that the money was necessary for the public services. Mr. Harrison, not doubting the correctness of the statement, and anx ious to do all in his power to aid the public service, received the check and advanced the money. The check was forwarded to the treasury department:lnd protested, on the ground that Prince was not anther rized to draw. Prince afterwards proved insolvent, and young Harrison was unable to meet the claim sif the Government: The matter remained in that gotuation until Gen. Harrison was recalled from 80. Mate, when, for the purpose of relieving his son,end his securities, voluntarily assumed the whole debt,: amounting with interest, to about $9,000. Thu son' has married the only daughter of Geo.

They would be swept, polluted, desecratedo trampled under foot !. Your Sabbaths would be one wild juailee of riot and debauch—the Sanctuary would be deserted or con taminated with profanity and sin...the Altars of Re. ligion would be defaced and neglected, and the mor al principle that ',bids society cut loose—or it would hang by a thread so slender, that a breath of excite ment, an overt act of the delirious multitude, would snap it asunder. For, how con a mind that it ranged and perverted by this raging passion, be calm and true and pure? How can it discharge its du ties and regard its - obligation? Drunkenness is a temporary insanity, when the relations of things ars disturbed, when all sense of right and wrong seems, often, to be swallowed up in the tide of burning citement that throbs from the heart to the brain. If a man can be brought to murder his wile and ail. dren, to sacrifice his own hie, under its influence-.- what ties will he regard?Lwhat sense of propnety shall restrain himl—And So, I do not ezagerato when I point to such fearful results as the effects of a uni versal prevalence of this vice.
