Nor would I have put the questions at all to the Senator, if he had nut manifested so much zeal to learn the opinions of Gen. Harrison, which he might learn fully if he would read his life 'and make himself acquainted with what he "ad written. Mr. C. said he had not introduced this subject.— Gen.

He alluded to the terms of log cabin ' and .4 bard cider," and exhorted honor. able Senators not to be so nervous and excited when those terms were used. They were called out only by an exuberance of feeling on the part of 'the friends of the Administration !

In the Declaration of In dependence, a document that most ever fill the bright est page on the History of the Freedom of Man,— how many names were either native horn British 'titiljects, or the FORS of 'Englistitneta —I would tell the Editor of the. Emporium, that from Britain the native born sons of freedom derived their glorious ideas of Liberty; and, when the f contest commenced for their dearest rights, they st o od ride by side with the "native born,"—they shared the same feelings— the same hopes—the same high aspirations for liberty and fame. 1 hey fought the s.me fight.—their blood was mingled in the same strife.—the same grave con tains their ashes, and the same unfiti:ing laurels adorn the hallowed memory ()tall. Even the Victor ofl'ippecanoe, and the Thames, is of direct Anglo- Saxon blood,—a direct descendant from the Harrison ediciSe name is attached to the death warrant of Cherie.; the First of England when the despot with his head on the block, paid the penalty of his tyran ny on the throne. Dismissing the Loco Foco editor to read, mark. and, I hope. /earn, from the foregoing. I cannot but address a few observations to my' fellow-citizens, and count-y men, on the present state of politica and pa lificianB. In this age of universal illumination, darkness is a past idea—politics have lost their intricacy—murals are as simple in theory, us in practice-science sits at the corner of the streets lecturing to naked philo sophers,—yet too much light, or a perversion of toe legitimate use of science, (especially the science of government.) may be as overwhelii ing, as too little; anfl.exnerience has too truly demonstrated the fact. that our sans culotte" politicians are enure bewild ered in the dxcessive sunshine of loco focoisni in the nineteenth century, than'the must carefully costumed puritan of the seventeenth. However,.. De ineliora," it is not the part of wisdom to ' boast. (though the locos know how to dt, it.) nor the part of reasoning to draw conclusions in opposition and in scorn of facts. The destructionists" have made the notable discovery that our foretathers were totally ignorailt of every sound principle of government at home,snd polity abroad; and among their accessions to know ledge, they wish it to he thought that, hitherto, we have miscalculated the nature of positive good and evil; and not to speak too contemptuously - of those whose blood flows in our veins, and who by some means or other have certainly contrived to grasp a most anconsciacle share of power, I admit that luck Is an element of policy, and that the blunderer and the public rubber art anmetime., as well off as the sage. Yet History, the only safe guide;.: of the philanthropic politician is thiown to the winds by your modern statesman, and has no more effect on their effervescent minds, than an old almanac on public opinion ; while, however', these spirits of the age sail on the loose wings , cf political speculation, peculation,) let us try to wing our way clinging to : the skirts of experience as we can. History tells the' only genuine peril we have is from ourseivesi— tO all other aggressors we have o ppo'sed arid will oppose, an iron rampart' of confidence and valor; 4ind•the heroism of the hind will second the magna niiinous feeling;that the last drop of our blood must be 'shed in defence of the natural barriers of .COUD• 'try! which we have chosen as' our Zion, and must defend - with our: lives.

Burke says, in speaking of the Frenth Loco foco Legislature : " The ground on which your confiscators go is this, that the rules of proscription cannot bind a legis lature assembly, so that the legislative assembly of a Democratic country (he meant Luco loco) sits nut fur the security, but tor the destruction of property ; and-nut of property only, but of every rule end max im that can give at stability ; flushed with the inso lence of their first inglurious victories, and pressed ty the lust of unhallowed lucre, they will 'nut scruple to attack and subvert property and rights of all de scriptions throughout the extent of a mighty king dom.

The sophistic tyrants are loud in their deefamations against the departed regal tyrants, who have in' former ages vexed the world,—they are thus bold: because they can rob with legal impunity."

The average produce of each furnace per week, has improved fourteentold, and the gross produce one hundiedteld. Thus, in 1820.'700.0110 tons and 120 000 of bar-iron were manufactured-per ennum.

The only pie-, however, below the wharf, at London Bridge is one at Lower hadwell, which has been recently formed, and open ed for the embarkation and lauding of pltsengera. The river Thames has now become the most inipor• tattypublic highway, in this kingdom, and perh ips in EuruPe. The number of passengers atuaye afloat is ; enorbious, and it sometimes happens that there are 0,000 persons going up and down the river at one time in the steam vessels including those proceeding to and from the continent.
