We ask our patrons to examine the let
ters at the head of this article, and then
ask themselves if they do not apply to
them? I OWE YOU, we know must be
the thoughts of many of these when they
take my paper. The letters above tells
the tale. W hen you take up the "Jour
nal," and think of the yankee who cast
his lot among you—and think of the toil,
the paper and ink he has had to buy; and
think of his "little responsibilities," as
well as his greater ones; does not the ex
pression I. 0. U. apply to you 1 if it
does, remember what St. Paul says, ..0 "
noxnan any thing.
There are some hundreds of our sub
scribers that we have repeatedly told to
"put money in their puree"—to "fork up"
—,to 'pay the printer," and to do the de
cent thing; stall they furget to ronember
three little words, "I Uwe You."
Naturally good natured,we have "borne
uur misfortunes with a patient shrug."—
Rut these hard times has nearly starved
the Job out of us—and we are satisfied
that we du not want any more patience;
we want money. Patience is a very com
mendable virtue, but there is a time when
it ceases to be a virtue at all ; and "to that
complexion has ours come to at last."
fu those who have so long been our pa
trons and friend,—who have always
punctually paid the printer —we wish to
say that our insinivaticnis are not meant
for them. For their kindness and punc
tuality, we offer them our cordial and heart
felt thanks, Ii rvently desiring them to
continue filth- good troth.
To throe tt 10 have so long been hold
ing en to the hard yarned dollars of the
1.0.,r ' ,tinter, we shall plainly say, they
:Aal get hone of nor thavlcs, until we get
some of Ikeir money. We want some of
it, the wife and wee things want some of
it, our hands want some of it, and our
creditors want a good deal of it. t3o make
up your minds to bring it to us, or we
shall be under the disagreeable netessity
of sending for it.
We've been waitik, we've been waiting,
Long enough to call it fun ;
No more waiting, no more waiting,
Our NEXT shall be a LEGAL DUN!
The August cod+t will :soon be here,
and t, favorable chance will be presented
to "hand over." Such as cannot come,
can pay to any of our agents. A list of
them will be found on the first page.
• Brown's Vindication.
On the first page of our paper will be
bound the vindication of General Brown,
of Michigan. lie has for a lung series of
years been an advocate of the destructive
measures of Martin Van Buren. With a
determination to do every thing fur the
good of his country, it would seem that he
adhered to that deceptive faction. He
was honest. But it would now appear
that the scales had fallen from his eyes,
and with the same candor and honest in
tent, be now proclaims his unwillingness
to be led by the delusive promises of the
Loco Fuco paper. But the letter can say
more for itself than we can for it. READ
“Here comes Amos.”
We do not remember that •ve have ev
er seen honest Amos led up to the ring
with more coolness, than he is by 111 r.
Edwards, of Goodwinsville, Vu.
Our readers we suppose must now be
weil aware that Kendall has, and is put.-
suing a systematic course with his "Ex
tra Lies," or as he calls them, "Extra
Globes," to secure his own personal ag
randisement. He is sending his terms to
every post master in the Union ; and calls
on them by their fealty to their party, to
"use their influence" to get hint subscri•
hers. If that does not suit, why he de
sires to have the document handed over
to some faithful, and more obedient sert ;
and that he be requested to become one of
his travelling agents. %Ire know that our
post masters in this county have been re
ceiving, and exerting themselves in behalf
of these same proposals for the Extra
Globe. We know too that they are sent
to the post master, and that they do lift,
read, and distribute them, although they
well know that they have no right to re
ceive free the proposals of any other
man's paper. Unless we are much mis
taken, it is in direct violation with their
oath.
It would appear that the call upon Mr.
Edwards did not exactly come to the de
sired spot. H e knew his rights, and know.
ing, dare maintain them; and to Amos'
summons to help gather his black snazl
the independent and honest citizen rep
plies with a becoming indignation. Hip
reply will be found on the first page of
to-day's paper, and let it be carefully and
attentively read. No one will read it at.
tentively, that will not say et once that
there is still hope for the republic, whilt
such honest and patriotic spirits remain.
New York Awake!
It appears to be the regular business of
the Loco Focos, to keep the people in ig.
norance as to the state of political feeling
in other States, or remote parts of their
own. They pursue it as a regular busi
ness. Upon all occasions, when any other'
State is named, they at once say it goes
for Van Buren. They do it even when
they are stating, that which common sense,
or hall the dictates of common reason,
would teach the most bigoted, was false.
We have been led to these remarks by
having placed i n our hands the address of
the Whig Committee of the State of New
York. The character of that committee
is well known. For three years they
have bestowed much of their attention
upon the evidences of popular feeling in
that State. They have always calculated'
with great correctness. A nother reason
why we have considered it prudent to
publish the address is, the incessant efforts
of the Loco Focos to impress upon the
public mind a belief that Van Buren will
carry his own State, when we felt assu•
red that in truth, they had no grounds of
hope.
The address of that committee will be
found below. It is an interesting and
valua'ale paper. It sets at rest forever,
the vain boast that New York will again
return to her wallowing in the mire. That
State has thrice thrown olithe shackles of
..~.
party bondage, and h ecrand, and
third sober thoughts of the still
Dhow, that they will be oppresse. l no
more,
Read it. Read it carefully and atten•
Lively; and you can see at once with
what show of honesty they claim New
York. Read it, and you will rise from
its perusal confident that the Empire Stat,
will tell Martin to follow his own foot,
steps back to Kinderhook, and resign his
la bite house to t.n honest man. Read it,
and you can laugh at the consummate
fully and madness of these decieved, de
luded, and too often corrupted Loco Fo.i
,cos.
TO THE WLIIGS OF THE UNION
ALBANY, STATE OF NEW-YOllll
July 20, 1840.
The Whig State Committee of the state'
of Ne w-V ork have ascertained that a sim
ul turmoils effort has been made by the ad
ministration members of Congress, and
by others at Washington, to produce an
impression that this State will cast her
electorial vote for Mr. Van Buren. In
formation has reached us that letters have
been received in different arid distant
states from Washington, of the same ten
or, and frequently indentical in language,
Mr. Van Buren's success in this state as
being beyond all reasonable doubt. The
very manner in which these representa
tions are got up and criculated is of itself
sufficiently indicative of their character.
They are the last desperate resort of a ro
fined party and of an Administration tot
tering to its downfall, to deceive a peo
ple whom they have so long beguiled.
Well may they dread the consequences
of acknowledging, or emitting to deny
the fact, that Mr. Van Buren is discarded
by his own state. What candidate for'
the Presidency ever before dared to come
befure the people with his own state a- ,
gainst him? It was therefore of vast im. l
portance that this overwhelming fact
should be denied, contradicted, explain-'
ed away, or disposed of in some mode.
This we suppose to be the explanation I
of this audacious conspiracy to deceive I
and delude their own followers; we say I I
their followers, for we cannot believe for
a moment that there is a generous Whig
in the Union who would doubt the unti
ring perseverance of his political friends,
who have for three years, under circum
stances the roost advers, maintained the
conflict with their oppressors, and in each
year have beer, victorious.
In 1837 the people of this state burst
the party shackles in which they had been
for ten years spell-bound, and returned a
large majority to the popular branch of
the Legislature. In 1838 when Pennsyl
vania faltered and Ohio gave way, when
the darkness of the political horizon cast
shadows of gloom ? . through the land, N.
York rallied to the rescue and elected a,
Whig Governor and a W'high House of
Assembly. In ISA, under circumstan-,
ces of difficulty which must be familiar to
you, every branch of the state Govern
mentwas placed in Whig hands.
Is it to he believed, then, that, after
(such contests and such victories, the free
men of New York will falter and prove
recreant to their principles when the
great object of all their efforts is within
their reach 7—when they are inspired
with the certain knowledge that their ex
ertions only are needed to hurl from pow
er those who have so grossly abused the
trusts confided to them? Believe it not!
But we are not content with these gen
eral conclusions We demand the evi
dence on which can be founded the most
remote expectation of a change in the sen
uments of the people of this state. Is it
to be found in the embarrassment of our
commerce, and the desertion of the streets
if our commercial metropolis; in stores
shut up for want of tenants; in the count
less multitudes thrown out of employ; or
is it to be ( found in the reduction in the
value of our agricultural products, and in
•he price of labor? Are these evidences
if prosperity for which our state is to be
thankful, and express its gratitude by
continuing in power those who have pro,
(laced them?
Where is the evidence of reaction
which is to reduce a majority of at least
7000 and convert it into a minority? The
i-lection of 1859 was merely for Senators
and Assemblymen; and in those districts
where the Whig ascendency was undispu
ted, and there was no occasion for ellurt,
such as the 7th and Bth Senate districts.
our friends contented themselves with e
lecting their candidates without caring
for the majority. The most moderate es
timate of our known strength in those dis
tricts, added to the actual returns in oth
er districts, gives us a real majority in 18
S 9 of inure than 7000 vutes. How is this
to be changed into a majority on the other
side? The town elections held in the
spring of 1340 evince no falling off on the
part of the Whigs, and on the contrary
they and the charter elections in the villa.'
ges and cities have resulted in a gain. 'The
great contest in the city of New York
sot ely disappointed the calculations made
at Washington, and convinced the friends
of the administration that the "reaction"
hail not then commenced.
Since these elections have been held
what has been the evidence of the cur
rent of public opinion? By what party
have those multitudes been assembled
which are counted by the acre? What
mean those log cabins which sprinkle the
face of the state from one end to the oth•
er ? What is indicated by the hundreds
of social songs in praise of Harrison andl
his noble deeds, which you hear at every
corner of the trees and at every gather
ing of the people ? Are these the marks
and signs by which to diNtinguish a de
sponding disheartened people, ready to
'brio the fruits of four `•ears struggle and
to kiss the rod that scourged
'them?

Now, then, let us make the article

We have thought that we could do no
thing better, than to digress from oar
original plan, and for one single number
turn our attention to the proposed plan
of a
Standing Army,
'o strongly recommended by Mr. Pain
sett, and by Mr. Van Buren himself.
In order then to come to a perfect un
derstanding of the case, and to show that
the scheme of a regular standing army, is
a favorite plan with the present Execu
tive, we shall commence our article by
giving an extract of Van Buren's mes
sage, delivered to Congress Dec. 9., 1839.
Any honest man, who is willing to admit
the truth, will say without hesitation, that
the plan of the standing army is the plan
of the President.
Extract from the message of the Presi•
dint of the U. States to the two Houses
of Congress, Dec. 2, 180.
...The present condition of the defences
of our principal seaports and navy yards,
as represented by the accompanying re
port of the Secretary of War, calls for the
early and serious attention of Congress;
and, as connecting itself intimately with
this subject, I cannot recommend too
strongly to your consideration the plan
submitted by that officer for the organi
zation of the United States."
Here then is Van Buren's endorsement
of the measure. Let us now turn our at
tention to the enquiry. What is the plan
proposed, which Van Buren cannot too
strongly recommend? Here it is.
10th, That within -- months alter'
the adoption and establishment of this
system, there shall be taken from the
MASS of the militia, in each State, Terri
tory, and District in the United States,
by draft or by voluntary service, such
number between the ages of 21 and 37
years, so that the whole may not exceed
100,000 men, and in the following pro
portions for each State, Territory and

more arbitrary and tyranical than that
disgraceful old sedition law ap:woved by
John Adams, we have published these ♦t-

and the old sedition law by its side, in
order that the people can examine the
TWO SEDITION LAWS, as they stand
side by side, and ask themselves if they
do nut see that the seine party in favor of
this army law, must be the same as the
old Royal party of '9B. But here are the
two. Examine them carefully, and we
shall admit that we are mistaken if every
honest man does not agree with us, that
Van Buren's sedition law of 1840 is more
tyranical than the other. Read them.
