Universal ly beloved in the v.nlks of peace, and distinguish ed by his ability in the councils of his country, he lias been yet more illustriously distinguished in the field.

" Mr. Editor: You will oblige ;a number of your patrons by giving a place in your paper to the following inquiry. Can any one inform the public what has be come of the $G,000 appropriated by actof April 14th 1S38, to the Bethany and DihgmdnOhoico Turnpike Road Company? If I "mistake not such an appropriation was made, and if 1 un derstand the fiiscal reports of the Common wealth, this money was drawn from the State and if correctly informed the road, it was in tended to open, lies in Statu quo, as when the grant was made. It appeared to the writer of this inquiry when he read the appropriation that it was one of the most useful granted and of sreat importance to the people west and north of the termination of the projected road. Perhaps the Editor of the Wayne County Free Press or the Herald, can give us some information, we care not where the blame rests, or on whom it may fall : the money of the.State should never be perverted from its proper chan nel ; and we will lend our endeavors as all honest polticians should do, to bring these hid den transactions to light.

A Sliarp Kepiy. The Van Buren Harvest Home Committee for Philadelphia county, recently invited Mr Chapman, of Iowa, to participate in their festi val. His reply is published in the National Intelligencer, and contains the following pas sages : " Be assured, gentlemen, that it would afford me unfeigned pleasure to lend my humble aid in the promotion of the great cause of equal rights, the violation of which may be read in the history of an exhausted Treasury, a de ranged currency, a withered commerce, a fail ing revenue, our Government in- debt ; and without the least attempt to provide means for removing the present evils, or preventing them m future. The drones who hold the purse though' an empty one, will only have completed the work of desolation when th6y shall have fixed upon us the direful necessity of a direct tax, now openly and boldly avowed by their leaders. When the purse has been exhausted. and its corrupting applieation of necessity ceased, ve have no reason to be astonished at the drones grasping at a standing army as a means of forcing a dissatisfied people into un-. conditional subserviency.. That a suqeessful grasp at the sword would be death to liberty, requires no other proof than the universal burst, of ii dignation with which it.is met , ) My devotion to the .sacred cause of; human rights, though in an humble, spjbere-h&s been; one of deep anxiety.

We recently alluded to a speech delivered in Congress, bv the Hon. Mr. Ogle, of Penn sylvania. . JU .has .since been, published, and is. likely to epen the eyes of many unsuspneting citizens as to the real character of Martin Van Buren. It shews him up as an aristocrat of the highest pretensions, arid with little sympa thy either" for Republican manners or American industry. This the more culpable, as Mr. Van Buren st ihe commencement of the campaign for the. Presidency, set out with great profes sions as to simplicity, retrenchment, economy and reform. A large portion of the people were deceived by these professions, and sup posed that by elevating" Martin Van Buren to the Presidential chair, they would assist in re ducing the expenses of Government, as well as engrafting upon our system, more republican and economical features in relation to the mode of living at Washington. There, at least, it is thought and justly, that something of the old revolutionary spirit should be preserved that the Chief Magistrate of the Nation should af ford a bright and shining example to the peo ple, and by the encouragement of home in dustry, native genius and national resources tend to diffuse a truly American spirit, and thus assist in the preservation of this great Re publican fabric. How miserably they hate been disappointed, Mr. Ogle has fully shewn in his masterly and fearless speech. He has torn the veil from the features of Martin Van Buren, and shewn him up as an aristocrat in the ful lest sense of the term. The spirit of democracy has been grossly outraged, while economy, retrenchment, and every similar principle professed, before the election, because calculated to gain the sympa thies and the votes of the credulous-, have been laughed to scorn by the principal inmates of the " Palace." The " White House" has been made to resemble the gewgaw establishments : of the Old World. Extravagant and superflu ous trifles have been introduced into it, and at ! a moment too, when the wildest Loco Foco doctrines were disseminated through the col umns of the official. No wonder that the log cabin system has been denounced and ridiculed by these imitators of foreign manners and cus toms by these Republicans in theory, but Monarchists in practice. No wonder that, de tected in their deceptions on the people, they should become querulous, and assail those who fought the country's battles in her hour of greatest need, as cowardly and vile. No-won der, indeed, that the individuals who have squandered millions upon millions of the peo ple's money who have been fattening for years upon the treasury, cling with such desperate tenacity to places of power and profit. But et us look into a few of the facts grouped to gether by Mr. Ogle. They will serve as a sort of mirror to reflect the principles of Van Burenism, to show how basely the professions of the President before he was elected, have "been violated by his subsequent conduct Mr. Ogle opposed an appropriation for alterations and repairs of the President's house and furni ture. He said that the President received SI 00,000 for a single term of four years ; and that the people were not disposed in addition to this, to maintain for his private accommoda tion, a roval establishment at the cost of the nation. He alluded to the gold and silver spoons and knives and forks made use of by the President, and then noticed a splendid set of French China for dinner service, all made to order in France, and imported at an expense of SI 000. He proceeded: The next piece of democratic "furniture" on the President's table to which I would invite your very particular attention is the " Sourlout" or bronze gilded Plateau, a large ornamented or picture tray, which stands on the centre of the table. The Plateau, with the richly gilded baskets, tripods, and Eutruscan vases which accompany it, cost in Paris G,000 francs, or SI, 125, and is the only piece ol table "iurni ture" which has not been purchased since the democratic days of retrenchment and reform. Some four or five months after Mr. Van Buren took possession of the palace, he paid S75 of the people's cash to Mr. .acbanah iNichoias for dressing up the Plateau, and now it looks quite new. it is composed oi seven pans, measures thirteen feet six inches m length, and two feet in width, and is ornamented with mir- t i 1 r - -i :i -i -i '.1. rors. it is Handsomely cageu anu gnueu, wiui. wreaths of fruits and vines ; also with, figures representing Bacchus-and the Bacchantes, and pedestals upon which there are htxteen figures holding crowns to receive the lights, and six teen cups to change them at pleasure, r Accom panying the Plateau are two Eutruscan Vases,- gilded and garnished with Uowprs ;; also, two richly gilded tripods, cbpiedyfrpmntlquc. pat terns : also three baskets,, richly gilded, each with three figures upon a round-stand, embel lished with ivy and lyrerformed leaves, for six lights each, ornamented with flowers. . -. It does appear to me, sir, that the Plateu with its fine mirrors, in which the honest hard-Iran ded Loco Foco democrats can look at themselves, almost every moment, during the formal pro gress of a court, banquet, would be regarded j even by a bank hig as a pretty lonmaauie ar ticle of dinner furniture. . , ... Having disposed of the pictured tray Mr. Chairman, 1 will direct your attention for a few minutes to the magnificentset of Table Glass, contained in three separate bills. The first bill is for Champnge Glasses. Clarets, Goblets, Cordials, Water Bottles, &c., bought from Messrs. Lewis Voroiv & Co. for nine hundred and twenty-four dollars.'

P. DRUMMOND." Mr. Chairman, these three bills for table gloss make togplher, the clever sum ofrS2,59G 50 an account I should suppose, sufficient ly large to purchase the most democratic not of table glass in America. What, sir, will the honest Locofocos say to Mr. Van B.ure'ri for spending the people's cash in Foreign Fanny Kemblc Green finger cups, in which to wash his pretty tapering, solf, white, lily fingers af ter dining on fricandeau de veau and omelette souffle How will the friends of temperance the real teetotallers relish the foreign " cut mine coolers," and the " barrel shape, jlute De canters with cone stoppers .?" 1 will now, sir, present you with a receipt for another ornament found on Mr. Van Bu ren's dinner table, that tells very much, sir, in regard to the true character of his democra cy. " Received, Baltimore, 14th November 1847, of T. L. Smith, Esq. one hundrrd dollars, in-full for a set of ARTIFICIAL FLOWERS FOR THE PRESIDENT'S TABLE. " 100 dollars. JOHN THOMAS." I am willing to concede that the expenditure of SI 00 is, in itself, a very small matter. The question, however, is not how much cash was paid by Mr. Van Buren for the bunch of arti ficial flowers which decorates his table, but whether the People's money shall be expended or such aristocratic French fiuery? and wheth er Mr. Van Buren, who has been raised to the most exalted station on the earth, and whose example upon society must necessarily have a most powerful and extensive influence, shall by the introduction of foreign gew-gaws into the house of the American People, contribute to corrupt the plain, uiiOstentations, and Repub lican manners of our people, by creating vain desires for external show and for foolish dis plays of splendor, which are not congenial with our frugal habits ? The influence of this example has already had a most injurious ten dency within the Dristrict of Columbia, where many men are now iound vieing wiin eacn other to make a splendid appearance, even above their rank and means of support. I will give you an instance or two, Mr. F. P. Blair, the humble editor of Martin Van Buren's " of ficial organ," came to this city some ten years ago a plain, simple republican in his manners and style of living, having been brought up and educated with all the domestic and economical max'ims of the hardy and frugal Western coun try. For some years after his arrival, he was content to dwell in a comfortable house of fif teen feet front, furnished in a plain, substantial way; but, behold the charm of Executive man ners ! How altered the man. He now aims at rivalling all the Foreign Ministers and Heads of the great Departments of the Government in the splendor of his spacious mansion, in the profusion of his table, and in every, indulgence which ah empty vanity can covet. He, too, gives brilliant entertainments to the members of Congress and great officers of state, in inn tation of the sumptuous Court banquets at the palace. On these1 occasions, as I have been credibly informed, for the purpose of producing a more dazzling effect on the vision of his Locofoco bretheren, he actually hires rich chandeliers and other showy ornaments at a charge of ten per cent on the prime cost, at a splendid china, plate', and glass fancy store on Pennsylvania avenue. "I These are oirly a few of the items noticed by Mr. Ogle. The ehtiro catalogue is too long; for our columns. But we caiinot omit the fol lowing extract, in which allusion is made to the ,f iiLUE elliptical saloon, kno'wn m for mcr times as the "green circitlarpaulour." " This apartment," said Mr. Ogle, u is near ly oval in form, and is forty feet long, by thirt)- wide. In its beautiful shape, rich Trench fur nitiire, showy drapery, costly gilded ornaments and general arrangements, the u Blue Elliptica Saloon," has frequently been pronounced, in the judgment ot the best connoisseurs, the elicit s'est room of the palace. It is belie ved' toliave 'been prepared and furnished very 'much after the style of the most brilliant "drawing rooms at the 1 uillcries, l'ontanblitu, hnille and St Cloud. To give you, sir, a prntk-r idea of the " real magnificence" ofthis saloon at this da i will first enumerate some of the articles with which it had been furnished before Mr. Van Buren became its occupant and shall thciishow that he expended, in "improving" the furniture of that room, during :tho first ten months of his Preidency, the, sum of $1,805 55 of the Peo ples calh, Sir, not of his own.

E Pluribus Unwn" and with the usual accompaniment of arrows in his talons ; while the flag of America, emblazoned by the stars and stripes, waved over his head. I said sir that Mr. Van Buren had expended SI, 805 55, within ten months after he had gone into possession, in making improvements in the " Blue Elliptical Saloon." 1 prove this expen diture by an original voucher, which 1 hold in my hand, dated December 12, 1837, containing the bill and receipt of Messrs. Patton & Co., New York, lor materials &c. furnished to im prove the President's House. The entire bill, as receipted, is $4,316 18 ; of that amount $1,805 55 was for articles &c. for this room, viz : " 3 windows," (curtains) Satin medallion', Silk cord, ' -; Plain satin, f-s:- Galloon, f' .liut Silk tassAls." l $F,307 50 176 37 2406 38 12 74. 50 42' 00 54 65 2400 24 00 8 00 4 0J G 25 Gimp, Repairing and covering !14 chairs, Do ?do - 2 sofas,1 Do Do Do Do Do,. do do do do do 4 tabogrets; 2- screens ' footstools, 4 SETS PILLOWS, 1 6 00 Music stool, L50 $1,80." Ilere, then we have a specimen of Van Bu ren Democracy, Retrenchment, Economy, and Reform. A greater outrage was never perpe trated upon the American people. We shall advert to this speech again. Tlie Juniper street Tragedy. The investigation to ascertain the murder of Julia Jordan, lias pro gressed before the Mayor. The un fortunate woman was the lost daugh ter of a reputable gentleman -who is a sub-officer m one of our Churches. The family are deeply afflicted. Mrs. wonderly (a witness) testifi ed that she asked Mrs. Davis what was the matter when she went into the house, aud received no reply. Mrs.D. chaup-ed her dress three times. She seemed indifferent. The doctor asked for some cologne water, and she (the witness) went down stairs and asked Mrs. Davis if she had any in the house. Mrs.D. said-- "if you want any, 3-011 will have to and go and get it." Mr. William Russell, Police Offi cer, desposed that one day, after he had brought Mrs. Davis up from pris on, while in the Police Office with her, she said, " I did not know how 1 could do it. If I had gone up stairs and found her lying dead, I should have fainted on the spot. Witness said that jealous)'' had caused her to do it; but she gave no particulars a to the manner in which it was done. She was tolerably self-possessed a little excited at times.
