prime cost, at et splendid china, plate, and glass fancy store on Pennsylvania avenue. 'But I do not feel disposed to interfere with or molest the editor of the Globe in his en-1 joyment of noble mansions, luxurious ban quets, borrowed lights,-and every other ex ternal advantage which causes "little man to swell into fancied importance," so far as I know, nt his own expense. Were it not for the public function of Government Prin• ter that this man has been clothed with, he would be almost too scant a pattern to no tice—for Martin Van Buren manages him as a showman does his puppet, and ho runs or walks, leaps or jumps, as he is directed. And I must here be permitted to say that we ought not to touch any of the small fry of the shoals until we have done with the sharks and the crocodiles. Curiosity may perhaps invite the philosopher to examine the gnats the mosquitos, but not until alter the tigers and the hyenas have undergone an analysis. I will therefore not say any thing more of Francis P. Blair, but lay him on the shelf for the present; and when Tommy Thumb will afford amusement, we will take him. I will just remark, howev er, that whenever my constituents ask mo what sort of a man Blair is, rack it, I tell them of the story of the Irishman, who went to see his neighbor, and being asked by his neighbor's wife, how are they coming on at home, replied, "the gray mare had a colt yesterday." What kind? was the inquiry. Ohl by the powers, it is a born beauty.— And I tell my constituents, if they cannot imagine how beautiful Blair is, he is just that kind of a man that, if you tie his hands behind his back, he will take a deeper bite into a watermelon than any man that I over saw. And if they are not satisfied then, I tell them that there is an old woman in Boston who would make him an excellent wife; for she is so ugly that every morning she has to drink a quart of saffron tea to prevent its s'riking inward and killing her. That'is all I have to say on the present oc casion about this great exemplar of loco fo. co beauty. Another instance of the deleterious influ -ence of palace manners upon plain, republi can habits is presented in the person of Mr. Kendall, at the head of the Post Office De partment. lie, too, after lagging nearly half* century in the walks of humble and unostentious poverty, and after looking up with awe to personages greatly his superior in rank and riches, though not in talents, now begins to love equipage and fine gar ments, to study graceful attitudes, and to vie with Blair in the magnificence of his soirees. And he, too, like Blair, I have been told, hires at another rich establish• invent on the avenue most costly democratic garniture, with which to deck-his shining saloons on those great occasions. He has, as is believed, by this foolish vanity, al though in the annual receipt of six thousand dollars in gold and silver squandered and gossipped away the whole of it, and is now almost obliged to subsist upon the contribu tions of his democratic friends. I feel grie ved that the parade and show of palace manners have had so much influence over the mind of Mr. Kendall, because his soul is certainly crammed with more ardent, more scorching, blazing, burning, fiery love for the dear People, than the souls of all the other patriots, by profession, in America. Indeed, his attachment to the dear People, or to their cash, is of ao vigorous a charac ter that it will, sooner or later, burn into cinder the little remaining flesh on his ske leton. And he must, eventually, fall a vic tim to his noble passion for the dear People's -cash, unless he can find relief in the "ex citement of composition." But let us return, Mr. Chairman, to the table furniture of the President. The re maining, bill, which makes up the sum of 811,191 32, before mentioned consists of various articles of cutlery, bought from Messrs. Lewis Vernon & Co , for ss6g; amongst which,.are table knives plated on steel, silver ferule, and transparent ivory handles, $3OO. Dessert set to match, guard carvers, &c., &c. And now, sir, having completed my enu meration of the table furniture, we may,for a moment, imagine the elite of the court, (in their brightest, gayest costumes,) em bracing foreign ambassadors, all the great officers of State, major and brigadier gene rals of the standing army, commodores and commandants of squadrons in the navy, and including the Vice President oldie United States, the honorable the Speaker of the House of Representatives, with the Chair man of the respective committees of Fo reip Relations and Foreign Affiiirs, and a very select few of the most distinguished members of both Houses of Congress, all seated before this sumptuous array of gold and silver ware, blue and gold French Chi. na, compotiers on feet, and tambours eleva• ted with three stages, richest cut glass, for use or ornament, plateau with its splendid mirrors, fine gilding, carving, wreaths, gar lands, fruits, and vines, and with it sixteen figures presenting crowns bearing lights.— I ask you, how would a plain, frank, intelli gent republican farmer feel—how would he look, if he were caught at a table like that? Why, sir', he would feel, as if he knew that that was not exactly the place for him; and he would look "unutterable things." And no wonder; for I have berm infornied that even Members of Congress have, on some occasions, been so dazzled with the pomp and pageantry and brilliant display of a court dinner, that they could 'scarcely eat or speak for hallow hour after they had to ken their seats at the Presidential board." And, verily, after they had in a good mea sure recovered the use of their faculties, they were still greatly perplexed to nscer tats what dishes might be called for, there being no food whatever on the table, and no Nbill of fare" immediately at hand to desig. nate the character or nomenclature of the various viands upon which the palace guests were to banquet. The latter embarrass• meat, however, was soon removed by the butler announcing— For the first course —Putage au tortue, Pelage a Is Julienne, et Putege aux pois. Second course.—Saumon, sauce d'art. Choi', Sass pique a la Chambore. Third course.—Supretno de volaille ea borduro a la plea, Filet do ixeuf ptpue au yin do Champagne, Pate chaud a le Tou• louse. Fourth course.—Snlade d'homard monte, Filets mignons do mouton en chevreuil.— Corveau do veau, au supremo, Pigeons a la royale aux champignons. Fifth cou rse.—Becassines, Canard sauva ges, Poulet de Gluinee piquce. Pviisserie.--Charlotte russe au citron, Biscuit a Is vanilla decoro, Coupe garnio do gelee d'orange en quartiers, Gelee eu marasquile, Gelee au Champagne rose, Blanc mange, Sultana, Nougat, Petits ga teaux varies. Dessert.—Fruits, et glace en pyramide, et en pelts moules, Toste d'anchois, Cafe et liqueur. Followed by Sauterne, Hock, Cham pagne, Claret, Port, Burgundy, Sherry, and Maderia,"choicest brands." I shall not, Mr. Chairman, further tres pass on the time of the committee by dwel ling longer on the great Court Feasts which are statedly held in the Palace Banqueting room; but proceed to the performance of the task which I have more immediately before me. Besides the table "furniture," which, as before remarked, cost $11,191 32, the Court Banqueting room possesses a great variety of very rich and valuable fur. niture, such as mirrors, mahogany side boards, mahogany chairs, gilt cornices, win dow curtains, bronze bowl lamps, antique patterns, gilded, carved, and garnished with stars and swan necks, mantel ornaments, Brussels carpets, butler's stools, &c. &c.— Indeed, there is scarcely any thing wanting to make the Court Banqueting room resem ble in its style and magnificnce the ban queting halls of the Oriental monarchs, but the erection of a canopy of peacock's feath ers over thu chair of the President, and small amphitheatre (for which there is abun dant space) covered with brocade and Per sian carpets, and furnished with seats for the music, and places for the buffoons and jesters to show their skill. 1 will next call your attention, Mr. Chair man, to a schedule, which I have prepared from the "official vouchers" on my desk, of some other articles of democratic furniture, with the price paid for them. Those arti cles consist of enormous mirrors, looking glasses. chandeliers, bracket lights, astral and other lamps, and candlesticks; all of which have been purchased since the pure, plain, simple, and frugal, economical, re publican days of retrenchment and r3form commenced. 1 will read the schedule: Articles bought from Messrs. Lewis Ver non & Co. 4 Mantel glasses,rich gilt frames, French plates, 100 by 59 in ches $2,000 00 4 Pier Looking glasses, in rich gilt frames, 108 by 54 inches 2,400 00 2 Mirrors for Green Room 700 00 2 Mirrors for Dining Room 700 00 Reframing 2 looking glasses 100 00 3 Chandeliers for the East Room 3,300 OD 3 eighteen light cut glass Chan deliers 1,800 00 3 sets heavy bronzed Chairs and Rockers for do. 75 00 4 pairs two-light Mantle Lamps, with drops, 350 00 8 five lightßracket lights,bron. zed and gilt 300 00 4 Pier 'ruble Lamps 180 00 2 three-light Lamps for East Room 150 00 1 two light Lamp tor the tipper Hall 57 55 2 throe light Lamps for the Lower Hall 150 00 4 Astral Lamps on pier tables 100 00 1 four•light Hall Lamp 100 00 1 pair Bracket Lights 60 00 1 three light Centre Lamp, sup ported by fcmale.figure 65 00 1 Astral Lamps for round tables 65 00 2 pairs plated Candlesticks and branches 85 00 2 do Chamber Candlesticks 18 00 6 do do do 57 00 9 do Table do 76 50 18 extra cut Lamp Glasses 26 00 4 French Brackets Lights for East Room 300 00 1 pair Mantle Lamps for Audi• - erica Room 20 00 All purchased from L. Ver. non & C 0.513,241 00 Bought from Campbell & Coyle, 3 Hall Chandeliers 150 00 Bought from Compel! & Broth. ere, 1 octagon Hall Lamp 14 00 What will the plain, republican farmers of the country say when they discover that our economical reformers have expended 813,405 of the People's cash for looking• glasses, lamps, and candlesticks? What would the frugal and honest "Hosiers" think were they to behold a democratic peacock, in full court costume, strutting by the hour before golden.framed mirrors, nine feet high and four feet and a half wide? Why, sir, were Mr. Van Buren to dash into the palace on the back of his "Roanoke" race horse, he could gale at and admire the hoofs of his charger and his own crown at the same instant of time, it. one of those splen. did mirrors. Mr. Chairman, there is much truth and sound phi!osophy in Poor Richard's advice: "Early to bed, and early to rise, ""flakes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise." But it is clear that our new economists have little faith in early rising, else they would not have laid out 87,600 of the People's cash in Limps and candlesticks. The court fashior. of "sleeping on the day and waking on the night" result in keeping the palace doors closed, save to persons entitled to the entree, until ten o, clock A. M. It was but a few days ago that an honest countryman, on his way to the fishiug landings, after breakfast, having some curiosity to behold thapagnificent "East Room," with its ger geouirsdrapery and brilliant mirrors, rang the bell at the great entrance door of the palace, and, forthwith the.spruce English porter in attendance came to the door, and seeing that only "ono of the people," "on foot," was there, slammed it his face, af ter saying, "You had better come at seven o'clock; the President's rooms'are "not open for visiters till ten in the morning." Where upon the plain farmer turned .on Ilia heel, with this cutting rebuke: "I'm thinking the President's house will be open befofe day on the 4th of March next for every body; for Old Tip is a mighty early riser,and,was nev er vet caught napping--and does l irt allow serfs to be insolent to freeinen." And, sir, I may add, in confirmation '9l this honest countryman's belief in Old Tip's early ri sing, that, within the last year, he has been heard by some of his intimate friends to re mark, that "his head had not been found upon his pillow at sunrise for the last forty years." To this,his habit ofearly rising is perhaps, in a good degree, to be attributed the salva tion of his brave army from the scalping knife and tomahawk of the Indian savage at the battle of Tippecanoe on the morning of the 7th November, 1811 —for on that occa sion "he arose at a quarter before 4 o,clock, and sat by the fire,conversing with the gen: tlemen of his fam:ly, who were reclining on their blankets, waiting for the signal, which in a few minutes would have been given for the troops to turn out. The orderly drum had already been roused for the reveille.— At this moment the attack commenced." This custom of early rising, with the great activity and temperate habits of his past life, will also fully .criplain why he still enjoys such remarkable vigor in his "moral and physical energies" since he has attained to the age of 07 years. But, sir, I will not in• deign in this pleasing theme untill ahail have finished my remarks on the regal splen dor of the Presidential palace. [TO BE CONTINUED•] GEN. JACKSON AND MR. CLAY From the Nashville Whig, Aug. 21. In the Nashville Union of Wednesday there appeared tho following card: To the Editor of the Union: Sin: Being informed that the lion. Hen• ry Clay of Kentucky, in his public speech at Nashville yesterday, alledged that I had appointed the Hon. Edward Livingston Secretary or State when he was a defaulter and known to be one, I feel that lam jus tified in declaring the charge to be false.— It is known to all the country that the no minations made by the President to the Se nate are referred to appropriate committees of that body, whose duty it is to inquire in to the character of the nominees, and that if there is any evidence of delimit, or any disqualifying circumstance existing against them, a rejection of the nomination follows. Mr. Livingston was a member of the Senate from the State of Louisiana when ho wag nominated by me. Can Mr. Clay say that he opposed the confirmation of his nomina- tion, because he was a defeaulter? If so, the journals of the Senate will answer.— But his confirmation by the Senate is con clusive proof that no such objection, if made, was sustained, and I am satisfied that such a charge against him could not have been substantiated. I am also informed that Mr. Clay charg• ' ed me with appointing Samuel Swartwout collector of the port of New York, knowing that he had been an associate of Aaron Burr. To this charge it is proper that I knew of Mr. Swartwout's connection with Aaron Burr, precisely a.t.- I did that of .Mr. Clay himself, who if the history of the times did not do him injustice, was far from avoid• ing an occasion with Burr when he was at the town of Lexington in Kentucky. Yet Mr. Clay was appoir.ted Secretary of State, and I may say confidently with recommen dations for character and fitness not more favorable than those produced to me by the citizens of New York in behalf of Mr. Swartwout. Mr. Clay too at the time of his own appointment to that high office, it will be recollected, was directly charged throughout the Union with having bargain. od for it, and by none was this charge more earnestly made than by his present associ ates in Tennessee, Messrs. Bell and Foster. Under such circumstances how contempt ible does this demagogue appear, when lie descends from his high place in the Senate and reams over the country, retailing slan ders against the dead. ANDREW JACKSON Hermitage, Aug. 18, 1840. We have been favored with the follow ing card from Mr. CLAY in reply to the for. going extraordinary paper. ills treatment of the attack, it will be seen, affluds a singu lar contrast to the rude, ungenerous, and uncalled.for language of his accuser. $13,405 00 Your surprise, I am quite sure, will be as mine was, on tho perusal of a note, sign ed Andrew Jackson, addresbed to the edi tor of tho Nashville Union, and bearing date on the 18tb inst. The circumstances of my present visit to Nashville are well known here. I deck. ned repeated invitations to attend the Con vention holden on the 17th instant, and fi nally yielded to an unusual appeal, with which i was honored, and which it would be dflicult for any man to resist. I was called upon to address the Conven tion. In what terms of respect and, for his military services, .of praise, I spoke of the distinguished individual who is the occasion of this note, all who heard me can testify. Among the subjects which! discussed was that of the deg eneracy in public virtue, and especially the delinquency and infidelity in public officers, of which, with in the last few years, we have had such lamentable proof. In assigning the causes for this deplorable state of things, 1 stated, as among them, the subversion of the rule laid down by Mr. Jefferson of honesty, capaci ty and fidelity to the Constitution, and the substitution for it of one founded on devo tion and subserviency, not to the country, but to the chief of a party. That persons appointed to office too often considered them selves as being only put in posest.ion uf their legitimate share of the spoils of victory, in stead of feeling bound by the obligations pf a TO THE PUBLIC sacred trust confided fur the benefit of the people. In respect to defaulters, I referred to the ease of Mr. Livingston, of whose at tainments as a jurist not more consistent with truth than my feelings, 1 spoke in the highest terms. He was one of the earliest and one of the greatest defaulters. His case occurred under Mr. Jefbreon's administra tion. The records both of the Executive and Judicial departments established his de. fault. He remained a defaulter about a quat ter or a century, if not more. How he finally liquidated the balance against him, and when, I do not certainly know; but I believe it was by property and under the first term of General Jackson. But when ever and however it was, a tardy payment or composition of the debt could not and did not expunge the fact of his original de fault. In arguing from causa to effect, I conten ded that the appointment of M r. Livingston was a pernicious prec-dent—that it was a virtual proclamation to all who were or might be defaulters, that their infidelity in a public trust constituted no insuperable barrier to a promotion to one of the highest offices in the Government. I did not attri bute to General Jackson a knowledge of the default. I not even so far as to say that he might not have reflected upon the consequences of the appointment of an indi vidual so situated. I must now say that, until Gen. Jackson otherwise asserts, I am constrained to believe that be could not have been ignorant of a fact, so conspicuous in the annals of our country, as that .of the default of Edward Livingston, esq. Attorney of the United States in the district of New York, during the administration of Mr. Jefferson, to the amount of about $lOO,OOO. It was in the train of the same thought and argument, that 1 adduced the appoint. ment of Mr. Swartwout in the U. States, as one of the most important and injurious examples. His participation in the schemes of Col. Burr was a fact of such universal notoriety that I supposed, and yet suppose, that no man the least conversant with the history oldie country, could be ignorant of it. But it was not upon Gen. Jackson's knowledge of that fact, it was upon the fact itself that I dwelt. It is now said that the appointment of NI r. Swartwout was recommended by citizens of New York. I laow nothing of these re commendations. Whether they were cause or effect—whether they were gotten up to produce or to give color and cover to the appointments, previously determined to be made—their secret history only could dis close. The appointment occasioned gener al surprise among the friends and foes of the administration, at the time, and the sequel demonstrates how unwise it was. These topics of my address to the Con vention on Monday last, have been selected by Gen. Jackson for comment and animad version. He was not present on the occasion. He has mode no application to me for a correct account of what I actually said; but has been contented to reply upon "being informed," by whom, with what motives, and with what objects, I have no means of conjecturing. Whether his informer may not be some friend or Mr. Van Buren, who, in the present desperate state of his politi cal fortunes, wishes to bring the General into the field, and to turn the tide of just in• dignation on the part of the People from the General's protege, the exhibition of his name only would enable the public to de cide. With r'.gard to the insinuations, and gross epithets contained in Gen. Jackson's note, alike impotent, malevolent, and derog atory from the dignity of a man who has fil led the .highest effice in the Universe, re spect fot the public, and for myself, allow me only to say that, like other similar mis siles, they have fallen harmless at my feet, exciting no other sensation then that ofscorn and contempt. 11. CLAY. Nashville, August 20, 1840. LOOK AHEAD! PEOPLE OF AMERICA, LOOK AHEADI- Seek counsel for the future, and act for the good ofyourselves, your children, and your country. If you re elect MARTIN VAN BUREN to the Presidency, what do you gain by it? Will he promote any one of the great interests upon the success of which the pros perity of the country depends? PLANTERS AND FARMERS, LOOK AHEAD! Think you that the policy pursued by Mr. VAN BUREN, if persevered in, will tend to furnish to the cultivators of the soil a just reward for their untiring labor? Is it to promote your interests that the price ofcot ton, tobacco, wheat, flour, wool, and the stalled ox, is reduced to one-half of what it was two year ago? Will it benefit you to reduce the prices of what you sell to the standard prices which prevail in "hard mo ney Governments?" LABORERS, WORKINGMEN, LOOK AHEAD! Can you gain by the re-election of Martin Van Buren? His doctrine, as put forth and enforced by his party friends, is, that wages in this country are too high, that laborers are too well paid, that prices should be re duced to an equality with prices in those countries where, by hard labor, men earn from five to eight pence a day. American freemen, if this be your belief, vote to con• tinue power in the hands of the present Ex ecutive. MECHANICS, LOON AHEAD! If power be continued in the hands that now wield it, what are your prospects? With a deranged currency, prostrate credit, and a wreck of all healthful enterprise, will the promulga tion of an edict forithe "collection, safe keeping, and ' disbyrsement of the public moneys" call forth/the busy bum of indus try in our streets, or bring into action the dormant energiei of the American artisan? The UREA TRUTH evolved by Mr. VAN BUREN in th course of a four years' Ad ministration i , that "the People expect too much of the- overnment;" and the GREAT HEAsunR - lie has proposed to meet the exi gency of embarrassment into which , the People have fallen is, to collect. and after hie own manner to keep and pay away their money. Verily, he has taught them that they hive out much to expect from him. MERCHANTS AND TRADERS,LOOR AHEAHI And if you trade on borrowed capital, be ware: Mr. Van Buren follows in the foot. steps of him who declared that all such ought to break. In submitting himself as a candidate for re•election, Mr- Van Buren specifically de mands the juidgment of the country upon his past measures and course of policy. If these, affecting your interest, have been wise and proper. give hum the countenance of your names and the weight of your influ ence. MEN OF BUSINESS, IN EVERY DEPART MENT OF ACTIVE LIFE, LOOK AHEAD! What will be your prospects it the present incum bent be ie.elected? Examine the past, re fleet. In 15:37, when Gen. JACKSON sur rendered the Government into the hands of his successor, he declared the country to be prosperous and happy. lie had, indeed, planted the seeds of that bitter fruit we are now reaping, but it was reserved for him who followed to water and maturo the plant. The country was then free from debt, busi ness was active, and a general prosperity was admitted to prevail. How is it now? The Government aro millions in debt.— They denounce paper money and satisfy their creditors with Treasury notes. Pro• perry of every description is depreciated, industry paralized, and business at a stand. These results grow out of the measures of the Government, and they are but the first fruits of that policy which Mr. Van Buren is pledged to carry out. MEN OF BUSINESS, FRIENDS OF YOUR COUNTRY, LOOK AHEAD! and consider se. riously the interests which are involved in event of the contest which is now in pro gress, and ask yourselves whether they can be promoted by the ra-eleection of Martin Van Burenl—Nul. lot. - MELANCHOLY SIIIPWRECK. — Forty Lives Lost.—The brig Attentimi, Capt. McCur dy, arrived at Boston on Monday, from-St. John, Newfoundland, and brings advises of the sad shipwreck of the brig Florence, Copt. Samuel Rose, of New York, which vessel left Boston last spring from Rotter dam, and was on her return passage to New York. We have 'the following particulars from the Boston Attune!: The Florence left Rotterdam June 30, in ballast, and had on board a crew of eight persons, and se• vents•nine passengers, men, women and children. After they reached the Bank of Newfoundland, they met with a succession of gales, and foggy, rainy weather. On the morning of the 9th of August, during a thick fog, while going eight or nine knots through the water, she struck on the rocks to the eastward of the island of Newfound ed, and filled and fell over on her side. Immediately a scene of contusion and ter. ror presented itself, the horror of which can better he imagined than described. Here the wife and husband bidding each other a last farewell; the frantic mother clasping her infant to her bosom, as if even death should not separate them; and seine few who had no relations on board, were endea voring to secure what money they had, by fastening it to their bodies, but which, alas, proved the means of their destruction. On attempting to swim to the land, the weight of the money sunk them to the bottom.— Capt. Rose, with commendable coolness, commanded all to remain by the wreck un til some means were devised to escape with safety. For this purpose the second mote, Mr. William Robbs, of Springfield, Mass. took the end of a line and sprang from the vessel to a ledge which lay between her and the shore; but at the time an over• whelming sea overtook him, and dashed the devoted sailor against the rocks, n mangled corpse. - Capt Rose next attempted the only means of saving the lives of those on board. Ele was more fortunate and reached the land in safety. The crew were all saved, with the exception of the second mate; but only 30 of the 70 passengers were saved, and of these many were saved by Capt. Rose and the chief mate, Mr. Schofield, at the imminent peril of their own lives. By the time all were on shore who were saved, about three hours after the brig struck, there were scarcely two planks together: all . was literally in splinters. Thus 37 were thrown ashore upon a barren, and to them, an unknown part of the coast. rifa ny wore half clad, and most of them without shoes. Not a solitary biscuit was saved.— In this pitiable condition they commenced their journey through thick woods and swamps, and over bleak and rugged hills, in hopes of finding some human habitation. For four days they travelled in search of shelter, living upon the bark from the trees, and whatever else offered itself to satisfy the cravings of hunger. On the 4th day they reached the village of Kenouse, where they were kindly received and hospilably entertained. A Mr. Goodrich furnished them with money and clothes, and a vessel to convey them to St. Johns, where they landed on the nth ult. There they received every attention which their destitute situation required.— Between seventy and eighty pounds sterling were collected, and resolutions were adopt ed to raise a sum sufficient sum to enable them to reach their destination. The first officer of the Florence arrived here on Mon day evening in the Attention. DREADFUL ACCIDENT AT A LISANY.—The New York Times of yesterday contains the following particulars of a terrible accident which recently occurred at Albany: We learn by a passenger in the steamboat North America from Albany, that about fiften min utes before that boat left the dock in that city, on Saturday last, the draw bridge across the Canal Basin at the foot of State street, gave way and precipitated a large number of persons into the water, many of whom were unfortunately drowned . . The following are the particulars as far as we have been able to obtain . them: A marline who had escaped from confine ment, being pursued, ran upon the draw bridge. where he was overtaken by his lies.. pers. During the scuffle which took place while they were endeavoring to secure him a considerable" crowd collected nn the draw bridge, and the pressure upon it being sud denly increased by the weight of a horse and cart one half of the fabric broke down. plunging the crowd who c:'!cupted it into the water beneath. Nine &ad bodie s were taken out be ore the boat tell, and it was supposed thlre were twenty or morn 3 et un discovered, which they were raking the bot tom to obtain. The water in the Basin is about II fact deep. THE ONE TEnx PRINCIPLE —On this point the Alexandria Gazette of Saturday thus speaks: We do not know that the One Term principle, as it is called, has been broaght sufficiently before the people; but, it seems to ua, that it is a very important one, and at this tines, every wtv worthy or consid eration. It is known that Gen. Ilmrarsox has pledged himself, if elected President, to serve but for one term of four years. Ex perience must have satisfied every reflec ting man that it is dangerous for the Chief Magistrate to be a candidate for reelection. Whilst holding office he can use the power and patronage of his office to further his cause. It - places temptations before him, and he has the means of corruption in hie own hands. We do not say that it is our opinion there should be any constitutional prohibition against serving for two terms, or that cases may not arise in which a re election would not be desirable. Bat we are strong in the belief, that at this time, the introduction of the one term principle into the Presidential office, would be wise and salutary. Four years are long enough for the President of this Republic to exer• cisa his authority. If he knows he is not to be re elected he can devote all his ener gies to the good of his country, and not to the success of his party. lie can then act without fear of giving offence to party, or hope of buying Favor from the people. Six columns of the Augusta Chronicle of the 19th, fire devoted to en account of the great Whig Convention at Macon. The number present e.ta estimated nt from 12,- 000 to 16,000. The Chronicle details the following outrage during the scene: "All the ladies, and many gentlemen, had come out, and were sitting in carriages, to hear the distinguished Carolinian, and the crowd of carriages, and persons on foot was as dense as it could well be, when a small boy, prompted, as we afterwards un derstood ha adulated, by a degraded and base villain, came near the crowd, and fired a largo number of crackers, which, by their explcsion frightened the horses, many of which made desperate efforts to run off, and one team did run off with a wagon, produ cing one of the' most alarming and fearful scenes we ever beheld. Many men were knocked down and trodden under foot, and some of the ladies were so much alarmed as to swoon. We believe however, that no fatal accident occurred." PROSPECTS IN GEORGIA.—The Milledge. ville Reco ,, cler furnishes the following satis factory information as to the prospects in Georgia: "Our accounts from every section of the State are of the most_: cheering character; and all doubts in regard to the result of the Presidential election.,lia-Georgia are dissipa ted. Gen. Harrison 'arid John Tyler must receive the Electoral yetuji the State, or there is no faith to LieirM evidence.— Even in Muscogee.county, the chief point of disaffection towards the Harrison nomi nation, we are sure that our cause will gain instead of suffering, loss. Among other auspicious signs, we observe in the last Co lumbia Enquirer an able and elaborate ad dress of tho sheriff of that county, Col. Bon ner, to his friends of the Union party, with which ho has always acted, setting forth his reason for his abandonment of 51 no in Vun Buren, and his support of Gen. Harrison. It is an address, by the way, which will satisfy every candid and unprejudiced rea der that Col. Bonner is righ:; and we trust its effect may he as it ought, to bring many more to do right too. We congratulate our friends throtighout the Slate on our most cheering prospects." THE "Loo CABIN" EMBLEX. —At a re cent convention held at Saratoga, Mr. Web. ster made the following pathetic allusion to his father's log cabin; its beauty must be ap preciated by all of every party. "I agree" said Mr. Webster, "that to live in a log cabin is no recommendation of a candidate for the Presidency—neither is it any disqu.dihcation. It is however to be assumed that a men who by his capacity and industry has raised himself from a lug cabin to eminent stations in his country, is of more than ordinary merit. I, sir, have a feeling for log•cabins and their inhabitants. For although I was not myself born in one, yet my elder brothers and sisters were—in that cabin, which at the close of the Revo. lutionary War, in the perils and sufferings of which he bore his part, my father erec ted on the extreme frontiers ()I New !lamp. shire, when beyond the smoke which curled from its chimney not another stood between it and the walls o(Quebec. "In this humble cabin, amid the snow drifts of New England, that father strove by honest labor to acquire the means of giving his children a better education and eleva ting them ton higher condition than his own. That cabin I honor for the sake of the ven erable man who dwelt in it. TIM cabin I annually revisit, and thither I carry my children, that they may learn to honor and emulate the stern and simple virtues that .thero formed their abode: and when I o they forget that cabin, and what it teaches and recalls, may my name and their name perish from among men forever." In delivering this beautiful„ and spouts neous tribute to the memory of his father, Mr. Webster's - voice became almost inartic ulate from emotion, and there was not one of the vast audience who was not melted in to tears.

It appears to be a truism, that in these days there is but little of political consistency known, and if it should be detected in some singular 1 instance, that is the rarq cwis of the times. We can't subscribe the doctrine to its full extent. But •i from the history of the canvass as it is progressing we gather facts which lead to the conclusion, that while honesty of purpose appears to govern the actions of some n.en who aro striving for political preferment, there are many who know not the worth of the jewel, or knowing it, hesitate not to • resort to small tricks to show their contempt of it. The letter of Col. Johnson of the 18th ult. as indicative of an honest resolve upon his part not to detract from the fair fame of his General, by party slanders to which they would fain drive him. In Cie times that tried men's souls he was taught', in conformity with the - rules of military discipline' • at Itast to respect his superior. The laurels won under his immediate eye ars not now ruth : lessly and violently to be torn from his brow by demagogues and official hirelings, without his testimony being borne against the outrage. We ye asked by many of our opponents—Will you appeal to Col. Johnson to sustain your candidate's character? We answer— Col. Johnson proudly sustains him! Contrast with the conduct of the Vice President that of Martin Van Buren, Presi dent of the United States—keeper of her funds— : end General of her army—descending frn.m his high scat to become a petty equivocating falsifier of his own words: condemning himself either of wilful falsehood in his annual message—or of a little political trick to creep out of his aproval of the tyrant's hope—Poinsett's Standing Army.— Trembling at the thunders of the West—quaking under the accumulating fears he entertains of his detest—he stoops from the scat of power—and sends greeting to the Old Dominion his epistle, by which he hopes they will take him at his word - - expunge a sentence of his late message from their recollection, and allow him to retain his opinion of a Standing Army until a 111011 E CONVENIENT BEASON.

The organ of the administration some three weeks ago put forth the infamous doctrine, that men and not measures were the objects of their support. Hear him now blaming his pen for running mad!! Had no stricture been laid on him, the pen would have indited the sentiment correctly; but when the people are asked to read, in plain terms, a Victoria doctrine, engrafted upon the Dumoott.cric creed, they fear that party slime has not sulliciently blinded their eyes, and they recant; the order of the day, forsooth! from the chief down.

'We ore asked whether Gan. Harrison would sign a Bill chartering a Bank of the United States. Gen. Harrison has repeatedly expressed his senti ments upon this question, as is well known by those who put it, if they read any thing but the Globe, Keystone, and MAGICIAN. For a full ex position of his views on this direct question, we refer the Compiler to the letter of Gen. Harrison to the Hon. Nimrod Williams, member of Con gress from Kentucky, under date of May Ist 1836, which we may publish shortly. In the meantime, will he do ii? Arid not act selfishly in keeping important information fiom the public. h Gem Harrison a coward? Let Cu!. Johnson answer. L, cos! it's a “forgery," ain't it?

WELL DONE VERMONT! THE GREEN MOUNTAIN BOYS COMING! Whig majority in the State about !`ooo!— Whig nell gain, 3763— The Legislature two-thirds Whig I—One Whig member of Congress gained! From the Boston Atlas and the New York and Albany papers, we have the following gratifying accounts of the election in Vermont—the home of the gallant and indomitable Green Mountain boys. Here we have again the evidence of the popular will, and hero, as every where else, it is in favor of the old farmer at North Bend. Let it be remembered to her honor, that Vermont never yielded to the corruptions of Loco Focoism, and that now, when most beset, she stands firmer and more impregnable than ever. The result of the election may be stated in few words. The Whigs have elected their state offi cers by largely increased majorities; the majority in the Legislature will be stronger than it was last year, and they have gained at least one member of Congiess. In short, they have swept the state. In the first Congressional district, Hiland Hall, Whig, the present representative, is elected by a largo majority. In the second, district, William Slade, Whig, is re-elected, according to the Vergennes Vermon ter, by from three to four thousand majority. In the third district, Horace Everett, Whig. is re-elected by a large majority. In the fourth district, now represented by Jno Smith (Loco Foco) Augustus Young, Whig, is now elected; according to the Burlington Free Press, by 1000 majority. From the fifth and last district, we hove no re turns. At the former Congressional election, Isaac Fletcher (Loco Foco,) was elected by CA majority. "Monies parluriuni el naseilur ridicules mus.' Which being translated into plain English, is "The ..Mountains were in la bor and produced a Mosey or two." For six weeks past the "low-wages" federalists of this county have been giving notes of prepara tion for • GREAT COUNTY MEETING. First it was notified for Court-week; but fearing that there might be some county people in town to detect their falsehoods and bragging they postpo ned it until last Saturday. The Compiler called on all the faithful to attend, and ehew the Harri son men that they were "alive!" Riders traver sed the county to proclaim that notorious strangers were to address the "multitude." Tory Ingersoll, Grindstone Buchanan,and Sharp-Shooting Thom. as were among the number. Saturday came, and with it a very favorable day. It had rained a little before day—enough to prevent the farmers from working—and held up about breakfast time. Of course a large tumult was expected. Ten o'clock came, and so did the Deputy Marshall, who is numbering the chickens for taxation— eleven o'clock came and brought the candidate for Congress—twelve o'clock was enlivened by the appearance of three ox-candidates for the Legislature, and seven more aspirants for the saine doom. Six minutes after 12 o'clock the gentleman who has nothing to do but attend meetings, and who has attended all the gatherings of both parties, was seen pointing in great extacy down York street, and the federalists all ran in that direction to see the procession from the "low •er end." It appeared slowly, but majestically moving up street, and was certainly the "most large and respectable" that made its appearance. It consisted of one wagon, four good looking her. ses, and three tolerably looking men! It wheeled round the court-house, but as no Locos were to be seen on the streets, the men draped their heads, and the horses their tails, and they retreated under cover. Several of our friends took the trouble to count the meeting as they entered the court-house. This was not difficult to Jo, as they were "few and far between." They numbered a little less than one hundred, all told. We assure our friends that this mighty meeting, (independent of the Harrison men who afterwards went in) did not consist of ono hundred and five men. We have never seen so contemptible a county meeting— we speak of its numbers, of the character of the men we say nothing—they were respectable.— Indeed they seemed to be a picked, a select party, composed of none but choice spirits, every one of whom thinks himself fit for office. ;Scarcely a lag cabin boy or hard fisted laborer was there. The speaking was powerful! Moses M'Clean, Esq., successor of Andy Miller, and who is so wrapt up in his descended mantle, that he is hardly visible to the naked eye, spoke with his usual flu ency. He gave a dissertation upon true democracy, as it was taught him by his well knoWn detnocra tic ancestors—priding the snb-treasnry„ and jave U°. his deliberate opinion, that Gem Harrison wag a granny. He sat down amidst 'great ap plause!" Col. Irvine followed in • profinand dissertation upon political economy, in which he declared that the Sub-Treasury S. heme was introduced by Gen. Washington; and Yen Buren was only bringing us back to the financial policy of Alex ander Hamilton! He proved it as every fiction is proved, by the assertion of the fabricator. He abewed his knowledge of the last war, and pre a pretty fair criterion to judge of his own bravely, by disparaging the skill and impeaching the cour age of Gen. Harrison. How unlike that gallant old warrior, Col. Johnson! Brave hrmselt At testifies to the courage and conduct of his beloved 1 commander! He finally recommended prat in dustry; and sit down amidst •great cheering?' George Smyver, Esq. was loudly called for by Jacob Ziegler. He answered with great gravity —said if ho was not born a Loco foes he became so 'refer() he could read and write- He was made so by witnessing the cruel persecution of the "Whiskey boys," enforced by a Standing Army! (Here Judge Sheffer wished him off that track as some Whig wnispered TWO lICSDIIKD rnor lase.) Ho then denounced all r hank directors-- told the story of the old mill-deM again, and took his seat, fur which there was "great applause." Next followed Jacob Griest, whom the Anti masons did not send to the Legislature, or ha would yet have been a Democrat. He is the head of the Abolition Society of this county. and in order to chew how the Loco foco Abolitionists are going - to vote he exhorted to great activity in favor of Mr. Van Buren. lie prefers him to Harrison because ho has promised to veto any bill abolish ing Slavery in the District of Columbia, and be cause Harrison will learn it to the voice of Con gress. Also, because Van Buren and his party ore so favorable to the right of petition and free discussion! (This all sheers what is meant by the cunning "third party" workers.) Next came the very modest and promising I young gentleman, Mr. Riley. He yelled so loud, and spun out such long words that the enurt-house could not hold them, and they got twisted op and tangled so, that they got in such a snarl that no body could find the right end of them,and all were getting so stunned and bewildered that the meeting dissolved, and four dozen went to the country, and the rest staid in town. Take it all in all, this was the poorest exhibition wehave ever seen of a political kind. The "Compiler" of last week, says that Mr. COOPER "not only neglected to propose any mea sure to relieve the distressed condition of the country, but wasted the precious time of Congress. and the money of the nation, in making a speech "against the Sub-Treasury Bill," &c. The i "Compiler" is mistaken; Mr. Cooper did propwei a thorough remedy for the distresses of the coon try, namely, the election of Gen. Harrison to the Presidency. We presume it is the Get that the people arc going to adopt that remedy that iron blea the "Compiler." Fork up, Mr. Telegraph!--"Perish credit' is your creed. sub-Treasury times ore presmng hard upon us--fork up! fork up!--and to afford you every facility to do the honest thing—Vease deliver t the "Repository b, Whig"fire galaos palatable "hard cider," well corked, or Legg-d. and labelled; and their receipt shall be your ac quittance. Neighbor Whig, your are authorized to receive and forward. We give below the honorable and manly letter of Col. Johnson. We suppose the Loco FOC3y will now abandon the charge of cowardice, and want of skill so vilely made against Gen. Harrison. Coi. Johnson his shown himself as honorable as , he was alvveys known to be brave. When Gen. Harrison shall have served as President for four years, we shall not be surprised to see him, who so ably seconded him at the Thames become his' successor in that high office: From the Cincinnati Republican. COLONEL JOHNSON AT CHILLICOTHE. We expressed the other day irir strong convictions that Col. Johnson could not have been correctly reported in the speech et Chillicothe, which was contained in the Chillicothe Advertiser, of the 9th inst., and in proof of onr having just grounds for this belief, we are giatified in the opportunity. of spreading the following correspondence before our readers. It is well known in Kentucky, as well as in this State, that Major Cameal is probably on terms of greater intimacy with both General Harrison and Cel. Johnson than any individual in the West. His conduct in the fallowing correspondence adds to the claims which his services as a Quarter Master under General Harrison in 112, and as a Senator of Kentucky, gise him to public respect: CINCINNATI, 24th August, 1840. Dear Sir,—lt was my object, ifpractica cle, in addressing the enclosed letter to Col. Johnson, to prevent any unpleasant feelings between two gallant officers of the late war, who, from my own personal knowledge, en tertained a high respect for each other. 1 am moro than gratified to find I have not been unsuccessful in the attempt. Without communicating with either of these gentle men, I take upon myself the responsibility of authorizing you to publish the corres pondence, and am, yours, respectfully, T. D. CARNEAL. Col. C. S. TODD. CzNczNNArr, Aug. 24th, 1840. Gen. W. IL Hsi/also:4: Dear Sir,—lmmediately after reading. the substance of a speech, said to be made by Col. R. M. Johnson, at Chillicothe, I addressed a letter to him, a copy of which is furnished. On yesterday I received his answer, which with pleasure I enclose to you. I view it as putting to rest now and for ever the foul slanders that have been and now are circulating against you as regard your conduct in the decisive and glorioo= battle of the Thames, and in my judgment leaves no good grounds for controvrsey or unpleasspt feelings betweca two brave offi cers of that gallant army. Truly your friend, T. D. CARNEAL. CINCINNATI, Aug. 24, 1840. Sir—l have rend the correspondence be tween yourself and Col. Johnson, relative ti him at Chillicothe. From the perusal o Cul. Johnson's letter I am satisfied that he intended me no injustice an the speech re ferrettis, and that his opiniens and senti ments must have been misrepresented.— Thanking you for the interest you have manifested m this matter-1 return the cor respondence. T. D. CARNEA L. CINCINNATI, Aug. 12, 1840. My Dear Colonel—l enclose your speech as published in the Chillicothe Advertiser. The reporter of your speech so far as you speak of General Harrison, has surely mis conceived you. I not only so think, but have so said.. An inference may be fairly drawn, that you are not only in doubt as regarded his courage, but that you had but little respect for him as a commanding General. My personal regard for you in duces me alone to call your attention to the subject and furnish you an opportunity of correcting what I conceive to be an erro neous and garbled report of what you diJ say in Chillicothe on the 9th inst. From the enclosed remarks of Col. C. S Todd, you will at once discover that you take issue and widely difler. If consistent with your feelings furnish me with your views on the subject. They will be pub lished or not as3iou may desire. Truly your friend, T. D. CARNEAL. Col. R. M. Johnson, V. P. Mansfield 0. MANSFIELD, Aug. 18th, 1840. My Dear Sir—Your favor has been re ceived, in which you observe, that by my reportedspeech, an inference may be drawn that I am not only in doubt as regards the courage of Gen. Harrison, but that I had little respect for him ago commanding Gen. eral. lam happy to have this opportuni tv of informin-r you that during my service with Grn'l Harrison, I had no cause to doubt his courage, but to consider him a brave man, and I have always expressed myself to that effect—nor have I ever dis• approved or censured any of his measures as commanding General in the pursuit of Proctor, or in the Battle of the flumes— every thing I saw met my entire approba. lion, and I have never spoken of it in any other terms. In speaking of the battle of the Thames, and the part acted by my regiment, I did not intend to increase the merit of !Viet re proem, or to diminish the merit claimed by others, much less did I intend to imply that Gen. Harrison; or Gov. Shelby, or any officer attached to the army, avoided duty or dormer. Each had his part to net, and I should feel myself much degraded to sup. pree that they d.d not perform their duty fearless of danger—nor have I ever doubt ed, that these gallant officers were precise ly where duty called them. I regret that in such a battle, where our country was vic• torioos, that there should be a controversy about_ the merit due to the actors in that bat• tle. I claim nothing above the most hum b!e soldier, who performed his duty on that occasion, nor shall any earthly considera lion ever induce me knowingly, to do in ivstice to the commanding officer, Gov. Shelby, or any other officer in that army. I have thus confined myself to general re ' narks, not knowing in what particular fact ' it-justice is supposed to have been done to General Harrison. I should be glad to know what particular issue is made as to the facts stated in the reported speech, re spec'ing which I had no agency. I shall feel no difficulty to stato facts as far as my own personal knowledge extends, and what I cisderftood from others, and not to censure or criminate, but to state the truth as far as I know or believe the facts. I expect to be in your city ou Sunday, the 23d, on my way home, aed I shall be happy to see you. RICHARD M. JOHNSON. MAJOR TIIIO3. D. CARNEAL. Mal Apropos. Gen. Jackson and Henry Clay have entered into a very foolish personal controversy, in which the public can bike no interest. Gen. Jackson has received all the reward which a grateful country could bestow upon htm—let him enjoy his retire ment and go down to the grave in peace. The bu siness of the country now is to shoe' equal honor, and eqcal gratitude to another of her brave cham pions, the light of whose glory shines equally bright and pure, and is intermingled with that of the Hero of ;Slew Orleans. Harrison Raising. The Harrison Democrats had a raising en yes terday, and erected a handsome Liberty pole in Gettysburg, in front of Mr. Thompson's Hotel, more than one hundred feet in height. Although no publi - notice had been given of the intended raising, it had been known a few days before, that it was intended to erect a pole in honor of "Old Tile — and a large, enthusiastic, crowd of the hard fumed, honest yeomanry of the county assembled to assist and be pre s ent on the occasion. Tho assemblage, gathered as it was without nctice, was more than three times as numerous as the Van Buren County Meeting on Saturday last, although they had been using every exertion by sending letters and riding the county, to collect an imposing assemblage, and even postponed it once from the court week, to give time for further notice. This we assert confidently, for the per sons at the Van Buren meeting were counted as they went into the court house, and, did not exceed one hundred/Ind thirty; and of these more than thirty were Harrison men who attended through ciniO3eity. And yet this is what the "Compiler" a yesterday calls the largest Democratic meeting ever held in the county!. There were at least 300 persons at the Harrison raising—all animated with the beat spirits, and elated with the sanguine confidence of success, joining at intervals in singing in full chorus, Har risen songs, and rapturously cheering the gallant old veteran. who, in the language of Col. John son, "has fought snore battles than any General in America, and never sustained a defeat." Our Ticket. The county ticket is settled, and it is time for our friends to put on their at mor and prepare for the battle. But in this contest let reason be our weapons. The mass of our opponents are honest, and have the same interests at stake that we have. Reason with them calmly. Show them that the . .rosperity of the country has been sacrificed for purposes by the party now In power; that its measures have been particularly injurious to the farmer sad laboring man—reducing the price of W. H. HARRISON. the products of the one, and the wages of the oth er. By pursuing ibis course you will bring ma ny of our opponents to think—thia being accom plished, they will go with us for the rescue of the country, and vote for Gen. Harrison, the patriot and farmer of the West. They will also support the Democratic County ticket, pledged to the sup port of measures for the relief of the country: and we shall then have the proud satisfaction of seeing old Pennsylvania, wheeling into the line in sup port of the old Hero, who periled health and life in defence of the country when the storm of war was raging in the land. To our friends we need hardly say a word of the importance of activity. They know their duty and will perform it, by giving "rt right good hearty vote" for the Hero of North Bend.
