' For tilt ' Columbia DtMocttt." Capt. Webb . ' Dear Sir I am a kind of Cosmopolite, wandering about from one place to another; but notwithstanding I take some notice of men and things, and what appears turf nge to me fa, that of all the subjeets of Great Britain that I meet with, but very few ever become naturalized citizens of the United Slates. When I say British subject, I on ly mean the Englishmen. I do not mean the Irish, for to the honor of thai oppressed people be it said, that as toon as they can, after arriving on this, liberty's soil, they en ter into the cause of the people, become naturalized ' citizens, exercise the right of suffrage and, what is more true, they at tach themsevles to the democratic party. And why 1 Because "they well know the oppressions of the British whigs at home The holiest German, tod, as soon as his foot touches this land of liberty, they de clare for the cause of democracy and the people; which, by the b, is the cause of God and our countryi Hence they are cal led by the British whigs, stupid Dutch' and turbulent Irish. Yet all exercise the tight of suffrages that ban imp'ose & vole, and all to a man, I know not a single exception, join the piebold or mora prnptrly balled, the British whig party. Now how is this, and what is the cause of it, thai they the British subjects; and the rich bie'n aild bank men have always been in opposition to the democratic republican party T What is the cause of this, ii lli'ey are friendly td our freS govern rh'ehi and W the- govern ment of a free people t And has the time not come that the free, though poor Ameri can citizous,sre capable of self-governmenti Or are they still as Adams of old said.inca' pable of self-government? and as a modern friend of him was pleased to call them, the servile route T What call the friends of our laWs aii'd consftulidn, a servild route. Yss; well, t will tell you, sir, whai they are capablo of doing what they have done and will do agaiu if neeessaty. They have fought tlio bailies of our country they have gained our Independence they have maintained that Independence and will still adhere tb the true principles of equal rights, equal privileges, libiieit equality of merit but not of wealthi I will tell yo'U how I form1 in opinion Hf a candidates politics, if I have any doubts I 1st quietly and wail Until t ebb' which I s ' side the British subjects, the Quakers; Am neiits, and ribh nabobs take; and tile other side of the question is sure to bo the demo cratic side, the side of the people, rind the side of equal right. For who evtfr heard of either of the above mentioned characters, in a mini, fight the battlei of our common country. No one. But I will (ell you what many have seen. The rich man, Hire the poor mail td go and fight for him the battles of his country; while he himself was taking hid ease at his home, making speeches and exerting his influence against the war, and the administration. V.'hilo ihany of lite above mentioned characters, have both refused to po and serve their country, or to pay fine, until their goods and chatties have been distrained, and sold to pay their fines, then id hear their pitiful lamentation, their curses of the oppressions of government, their war pes lilenco anil famine speeches, it would most make you think their oppressions were hard and really true. In this way they have lead many honest, well meaning men astray, through sympathy, arid indeed have joined their banner. Bui they have only to see their object and intentions, and they will just so soon abandbn them and their cause; Why all tUis sympathy for the rich and the characters above mentioned, while not one drop of sorrow for the worn out sol dier. Oh, lib1. He must be treated aS an out cast and a vagabond on ihe face of the earth. No good feeling for him among the British whitfs. Oh, no. Better that New Oileans fall into the hands hi the British than that A. T. Jackson should bb elected President. Shame on such whigk, and the characters that I have endeavored to portray i are the very characters, tiiat are making1 the loudest cry df lbg edbln and hard .cider at this tin'iej But Captain, one alwtiys feels fof their friendii arid we haver like to hear of one of our friends getting whipped vary bad, and if they do, ii is natirral for human na ture to retaliate, We cannot blame the whigs so much for their hatred of Gen. Jackson, for he gave their friends such a confounded basting at Orleans that they can never forget it. If he had just gave them a slight Tippicanoe touch, their friends would have soon got over it.' And in addi tion to that, allowed three men to have thought for him,, talked for him, and dlitcd for him, ho then would have made a pretty good British Whig candidate for the Presi dency.

The neighboring planters aie generously sending in lari'e gangs of slaves to assist in cleaning the streets and digging the dead from the ruins: The greatest loss of life was among' the flat boats, which were swamped and des troyed before the unfortunato men could escape to the shore.

Read the following from the Daily Pittsbuigher. In the Sedate of Ohio, Harrison: voted to sell white men for 'fines or cdst;" but as Governor of Indiana he added ThIrty mnb stripes'. In Ohio fie wris confined to males only, but as Governor of Indiana he includes females also. Th'e latter clause of (he 2d section, it will be seen reads; "And if such person or persons, sb senten ced and hired or SOLD, shall abscond. rrom the service of HIS or HER MASTER or MISTRESS, before the term of such servico shall be expired, he or SHE so ab jus.
