vis of Massachusetts, who uttered it from
tio desk of that council chamber whichPhe
lias too long disgraced. It was deemed at
first too barefaced a departure from truth,
to mTi' viy further notice than the digni
fied rebuke of a distinguished colleague,
who said that the author of that libel had
" forfeited all claim to the courtesy which
is due from ono gentleman to another,"
but not every stroling Jemagougc, from the
great Webster down to the grovelling Coun
ty Clerk of our city, make that outrage up
on truth the silbjeet of every speech and of
every song. Tho outragqnusncss of the
lie has prevented such a notico of it as is
usually extended to a plausible misrepre
sentation. -Confiding as we do, in the in
telligence of the people, it has been suppos

any quarter, but as lljero arc seme men so
ignorant as to Buffer themselves to bo de
ceived by it, and as it is propagated by men
who, whatever bo thejr character, are occu
pants of a dignified position, even that silly
falsehood should be subjected to the cere
mony of a denial and refutation. Its ori
gin in") be thus explained. A few years
ago, the popular notion was extensively
prevalent that high prices were sure causes
of national prosperity. Such was tho stato
'of the public mind when the currency ques
tion first began t be agitated. It was tru
ly iugtied by the Dank Tarty, at that time,
that piiees would bo reduced by the policy
tf tho Administration, which aimed to 'cur
tail the issues of paper money. Tho op
position influence (aided even in our own
ranks to soma extent,) succeeded contrary
to tlin wishes oMlio Administration, in ex
panding the issues of paper money, ami in
flating piiccs, until tho grand explosion oc
curred in 1837. It wii3 then contended by
the friends of the Administration, that if
prices were never cxpandea by excessive
Dank issues, such explosions could not take
place, and in order that the Government
might lruvc no agency in producing such ex
pansions in future,it was proposed to separ
ate the Government from the Hanks entire
ly. Hence arose that demagogue story thvt
the Government wished to reduce the Wa,
ges of Labor, Every man' of common sense
must discovery that if the' prico of all the
productions of Labor can bo afforded cheap
er than other markets can furnish them.that
the demand for them will be greatly increas
ed; that if tho demand be increased for the
produce, the demand for the producer must
increase in the same ratio, and thatlncrcaso
of demand for labor cannot fail to insure an
increased compensation to the laborer.
How false then tho charge, how infamously
faUo tho assertion that tho Administration
aims to reduce the Wages of Labor; and
how certain is the policy of the Administra
tion lo produce the opposite result! Supposo
tho lidiculous charge were true. What a
spectacle of disinterested benevolence would
our country present; on the one side the
wealthy employers of labor urging a policy
which would diminish their profits and in
crease the Wages of workmen, and on the
other tho workmen themselves spurning tho
generous offer and contending for a policy
which enriches their employers and im
poverishes themselves and yet the men
who propagate that absurdity, profess to
believe in popular intelligence. Truly they
must hold it in very high estimation;
IMPORTANT DISCLOSURE.
The United Service Journal (English
publication,) for tho present year, 1810,
speaks of the plan of the leaders of the fed
eral party in New England, during the last
war as below. The writer evidently knows
what ho is about, and probably writes from
the written evidence in the hands of the Bri
tish government :
"This was to separate the northern from
the southern and western States, to estab
lish a limited monarchy in tho above nam
ed Slates, placing one of our (British) prin
ces of the blood on the throne, and strength
ening the new transatlantic kingdom, by an
alliance offensive and defensive with Eng
land. The treaty of Ghent put a stop to
the correspondence, wnich was in active
progress on tli s subject, but that comics
I'onocncu is 6T1M. i.v lxistanch: and how
over improbable, it may appear to Yankee
pride, were a war to bre.iU out a'ain be
tween us, something snnihr would deetlr
before the United Stales wetc two years ol
der. The destruction of the public build
ings at the nominal seat of tho federal go
vernment, it was conceived, would indirectly
if not directly, forward the view of the New
England separatists, "

the John Henry documents, that were ma
ny years ago promulgated. And in Octo

the Hartford Convention assembled, and as
its proceedings. wcie with closed doors, we
never yet have known all that took place

five days before the convention met, Daniel
Webster, whom tho whigs intended to be
Socretary of State, if Gen. Harrison should
be Piesidcnt, voted in Congress against an
appropriation for rebuilding tho eapitol
which it now tuins out, had been destroyed
by the British, for tho purpose of forward
ing tho schemes of the federal party in New
England. And whero was Gen. Hanison
during these stirring time's, when Ins coun
try was beset by enemies within and with
out when the eapitol was smoking in ruins
when treason was raising its snaky crest
in the north, and a British aimy under the
war cry of "Beauty and Booty," were pre

HARD QUESTION FOR THE FEDS.
, Wc find in lhe"iVco Era" the following
qucslions'addressrd to the Feds, which will
wo think, puzzle them right smartly to
answer satisfactorily. Wo hope our Dem
ocratic friends will put these questions to
the Feds, and insist upon full, fair and ex
plicit answers-.:,
Why did real-estate, which rost.in 1817,
$1,500,000, bring only, $000,000 in 1810?
Was it the want of a U. S. Bank ?
Why Was it that floursold for from 12 to
13 dollars per barrel in 1817, and onlv -llin
1810 I Was it Gen. J.ackaou's "tinker
ing with the currency?"
Why were our imports sixty millions
more than our exports in 1810 ? Was it tho
"specie humbug ?"
Why were thousands and lens of thous
ands thrown outof employment in 1818 and
1819 ? Was it the "Sub-Treasury ?"
Why was it that in 1810 and 1817 wild
and reckless speculations were engaged in,
ami wanton extravagance and luxury the or
der of the day Wast it the "want of pa
per money ?"
Why was it in 1318, '19, '20 a'nd '21,
our banks, our merchants and our manu
facturers, from Alaino to Georgia, were all
involved in common bankruptcy 1 Was it
caused by ilie"ailtiiinisliation ofMartiu Van

Vh.y were the exchanges more deranged
in 1818, and the three subsequent years,
than they were before, or havo been since ?
Was it tho "wan; of a great regulator?"

Horrible I)isuster:Fall of the Draw of
the Slate street Canal Basin Bridge at
Albany.
Saturday L'dcnirtg, Jug. 122, 8 o'clock.
Our city is the scene of the most dis
tressing and calamitous dispensation. At
5 o'clock this afternoon, just as the steam
boats were departing for Now York, and
when hundreds of people were crossing the
bridge over the Canal Basin, the draw
broko and precipitated from seventy to
cihl-persons, and three or four horses and
carts Into Ihe basin ! They fell about twen -
ly feet into twelve feet water. Thcstruff-
ule for life among the suffcrets was brief!
but awful ! Wo shudder 'at the horrible
reeollections of it. Hundreds of citizens, 1 Hons, there have been considerable importa
with a dozens boats, sprang to the relief of ;tiona by tho President steam-ship, ihe duties
llicir drownin!! fellow-ciuzens. At 7
clock 18 dead bodies had been recover
ed, This dreadful loss of life was occasioned
by the refractory conduct of the insane man
who was refusing to go with his keeper.
His resistance drew a crowd which block
ed up the passage until the mass of people
and carts became too heavy for the draw.
Officer Hinman. tho moment the draw gave
way, was endeavoriug to disperse the
crowd. A large number of citizens contin
ued their search for the bt dies until dark.
Several missing pursons presupposed to be
numoerou among the ceid. luedieal gen
demon continued their pfTerls lo restore life
until hope expired. All their exertions
were unavailing.
Several bodies were.rccovered within five
iniuuUM after the fall, and wo can only ac
count for tho abortivenobs of every effort to
resuscitate life by supposing thai the per
sons lost weie injured by tho fall or woun
ded before ihey sunk. Our medical men,
among whom we noticed Doctors Coggs
wcll. Armsby, Van Olinda, M'Naugliton,
Hinckley and Starts wero prompt and unti
ring in their eflurts lo restore life. Li two
or three instances respiration was slightly
afl'ecled, but a'l finally sunk. Tho Mayor,
who was early on tho spot, assisted to savo
two boys who weie nearly exhaustsd.

is an unusual readiness to pay cash. Trade

By the schoener Emblem, arrived yes

important intelligence from Mexico came to

Canadian- Heroine Dead, At Lorbl
niere, on the 17th July, at the age of 100
years and several months, Charlotte Ouel
lel, of the parish of St. Anne, de lit Pocati
ere. This young lady was one of the num
ber of other young girls of St, Anne, who
put on men's apparrel and shouldered the
musket to drive out a delaehrscnt of En
glish Regulars who were amusing them
selves by setting fire lo the barns and dwell
ings of the inhabitants of St. Anne during
tho siego of Quebec. She and the rest of
J her company lircd upon the soldiers, who
instantly ueu maKiug temporary barrows in
their flight, to rescue their dead who had
fallen tinder the fire of these brave Canadian
girls. At the age of 100 years, and a few
days only before her death, Charlotte Ouel
let could not refrain from a hearty laugh at
the thought that she was one who made
the best shots. She has left two daughters
the eldest of whom has been a wife for 55
years, the second has just lost her husband
after a happy union of 53 years.
Census Anecdote. Mr. Cist, one of the

band?" "Sixty one." And your eldest
son?' 'Twenty seven.' And the next?'
'Tvven'.y-oiic." "And how old do you call
yourself?" 'I do not know my ago exactly
but it is about thirty 1' 'Did I understand
you, madam, that your eldest son was twen
ty-seven? "Yes. You must surely,
then, bo more than thirty? " "Well, sir
(quite snapishly,) I told you about thirty;
I can't tell exactly; it may be thirtv-onc r
