m. i m. character of the ultimate results to be ex- 1 peeled from it. That the subject is of the first importance,"all must admit': and I participate fully in the apprehensions so extensively entertained and so freely ex-! pressed as to hs effects. But I do not despair. Often as we have seen our political horizon overcast with portentous clouds, and the. sale conduct of public affairs beset by combinations which, to all appearance, could not be overcome, we have never yet seem the time when those doubts and difficulties were not finally and satisfactorily cleared away by the opera'ion of this powerful corrector. Such, 1 doubt not, will be the result now; and such, in the nature of things, must it always be, as long as the people are uncorrupted and our institutions free. Prejudice, passion, and selfishness, may rule the hour, and give a direction to public questions, when the controlling power rests in a single head, or in a few individual's whose positionexempts them from the injurious effects of official errors: hut this can seldom hannen. when that Domer e.xiss only, as ; i 1 # i % is the cause with us, in the great body ol well informed and virtuous communities, who are to bear the consequences whether for good or lor evil, of public measures. It i.s now tbr the mujorirv of the people to decide whether the measure referred to shall only be tolerated as a temporary expedient, forced upon the country by a conjunction of ex raprdinary circumstances ; and rendered less objectionable in consequence of its efFect in removing beyond the reach ! of party contention and factious misrepro- | scntations, disturbing questions in relation ' to the public moneys, at a moment when the public mind is, from other causes, j>eculiarly liable to be unduly influenced by sinister ami unfounded impu ations ; or, j whether the distribution of the public <lt- j j>ositts shall be the parent and forerunner I of future distributions of the public revc- [ nue. Taut the decision of this interesting ! question will be honestly made, we ail know, and I do not doubt that it will also be wisely made. I hope, and believe, that tiie public voice will demand, that this species of legislation shall terminate with tiie emergency that produced it?-that early and efficient steps will l>c taken to prevent the recurrence of a state of things calculated to furnish an excuse fur any measure of distribution, bv the adoption, of the only natural, safe, and just remedy i for an excess of revenue, a reduction of the taxes, effectual in its results, equitable i in its details, and wisely, adapted, to the circumstances of the country?that we shall be content to continue the action of our complicated but admirable system of government, State and federal, in the course that has conducted our country to its present palmy slate of prosperity and renown?and shall eschew in future those schemes of improvement in the administration, with which the countrv is from time to time inundated, the results of which, to say the best of them, are extremely hazardous, and which too of:cn have quite as much in view tlic individual advantage of the projector, as the good of the nation. Orrinw. Dfcor-.m.?The official naner i of the liovernmeut commences its leading j nriclc of yes'erdav thus: "Mr. Calhoun, who never told the truth when "falsehood would serve his turn. When we consider who and what has { been this Mr. Calhoun, who is, from the j very portals of the palace, thus branded, a j man twice elected the second officer of the j Republic?who has presided over the Senate of the United States eight years, and is yet one of its most distinguished members ?who has been ever honored by his own State?and who whatever differences may 1 have existed in regard to his political opinions, has ever been respected for his personal virtues?when we look at the individual thus assailed, and then consider the source from which so gross an insult emanates, it affords a striking proof of the deteriorated condition of the public taste, ' which can recivc with favor and approbation ; such an outrage on decency. National Intelligencer. \ Degrading Effects of Intemperance.? I The following anecdote will illustrate the pitiable slavery to which intemperance re- ' duces its victims. ' " If you mean to live long," said a physician to his patient, "you must abstain from spirituous liquors." A week had scarcely elapsed, when they again met. " Well," . asked the physician, " have you attended tri mv advice V' ? I have indeed. Doctor.* ods, but lie could not destroy them; at length bethought of the effect ardent spirits had upon his two legged customers, and he resolved to make an experiment. Accord- c inglv he prepared a pan of strap, set in the c cellor and waited the event. The next r morning lie found fourteen large rats, lying ^ helpless around the pan. It is needless to t add, he pursued this device until his house 1 was cleared of rats and mice.? Vermont ( Watchman. , \ What might he expected.?Xot long ago, [ the landlord of one of the hotels in South- j1 port, with his family retired to rest, and for- { got to lock up his depot of inflammable li- . quids, viz. the bar door; next morning be- " ingthe day appointed for washing, the family, ofcourse expected all w.e washing to be 1 nearly completed upon their rising from bed; : but instead of that, found the cook and ser- 1 vant dead drunk, senseless, and asleep upon the floor, and the washing, in statu quo! Now with what grace, or lace, or! consistency, could the landlord chide this | foul aberration seiner that he trains his live- : o o lihood, and pays even his servants' wages by pandering to such vice and folly. From the New York Sun. Imkkvikw witii Makia Monk.?A highly interesting pamphlet, reporting a con- j versation between Maria Monk and the Mon-) treal Priests, Mr. Jones, the editor of tiie j "L'Ami du People," and Mr. Lcclerc, has i just been published, and will obtain uui- j vorsal attention. Tnesc gentlemen are \ now in this city, bringing out a refutation of her" Awful Disclosures," with affidavits, vVc., hut even* body will speedily see through the whole of this attempt. From circumstances which have come to cur knowledge within this last day or two, we can assure such of our readers as coincide | in our opinion of Maria Monk's book, that | ... ,. i "ii i . _ i the truth ot her disclosures win soon uo es- | tablished beyond all possible refuation, and that die great body of Catholic Christians, will themselves be convinced of it. Another Person, who lias been in the Hotel Pieu Convent, from early youth, but has nowos- ! caped from it, will prove that Maria Monk j was but an infant in the knowledge of the j horrible atrocities of that Pandemonium of iniquity, and will expose them under ad-) vantages which Maria Monk did not posses. We formed our opinion of the " Awful Pisclosures," from the internal evidence of the work, which we perceive to be beyond the reach of any ingenuity, and we now know that it is true. The public, universally, will be of our opinion in a very short time ! notwithstanding the temporary elFoct which may be produced by the refutations of it , which Messrs.* Jones and heclcrc are about j j to publish. Her story is true, and will be | proved to be so, lieyond all rational doubt. In the mean time we would recommend the i perusal of"Interview, &c." Upon the above the Christian Intelligcn- \ ^ ~ . ccr of N. York remarks as follows: The statement of the Sun is not without j foundation, though it would have been as i well if nothing had been said of the matter i until investigation had gone further. It is true, however, that a letter was received , last week from a respectable gentleman at j Rome, N. Y. stating that a young wom.au! was at his house, who said she had escaped i ] from the Hotel Dieu Xunnerv, at Montreal. | ( and that her account of the? iniquity practised '; there, more than sustained the u Awful Dis-1 j closures" of Maria Monk. The young 11 woman has been brought to this city, and, j j we are told, is a person of intelligence and i i accomplishments. A thorough examination I as to the truth of her prcteusions will be j made, and the public will probably be in. j. formed of the result. The occurrence has ; of course excited considerable interest as far as it has been known. j IIow people live in town.?A very honest-hearted Dutchman, who had seen hut * little of the world, took it in his head to visit 5 ? ** % i /? \ the metropolis, a place he hail never Deiorc seen; but among all t he wonders which per. * plexed him, he "couldn't zee how do people f ill got a litfen upon de town; they all stands f or walks apout, and doscn't work at all."? One of his own experienced neighbours explained the mystery thus: "1 tells you, < Hans; dey follow sheaten one anocler, and > J at dey calls piziness, and dat's de way dey j < kits dure lillen!" NEW ICON* STEAM BOAT. Augusta, Sept. 2. i On Thursday night last the splendid new ' iron Steam Boat Chatham, arrived here from Savannah, being the first trip she has J ever made. She belongs to the Steamboat J Company, and is undoubtedly the finest ] Boat ever on the savannah River. For safety against snags and other obstructions * ? i { in the river she is certainly of the very best construction that could possibly be devised. IIlt hold is divided into four separate ap. 1 partrnents, the partitions being of very s thick sheet iron and perfectly water-tight, 1 so that if she should snag or spring a leak, J only that apartment in which the accident ' occurs, can be filled with water, and only ' the freight in that particular apartment can 1 b j injured. Singular.?The Trenton Emporium I contains the following item;?"The great manufacturing town of Manchester, (R. I.) < during the last four years, has had an in- 1 crease ofTOO new streets, 7000 houses and ;( 4*2,000 inhabitants." 1 A free country.?A man named Benton, J in Barn > Vermont, placed a sick daughter j under the care of a quack, named Smith, who killed her of course. The father has published an article in the Montpelier ^ Watchman, in which he says the public j are making a great noise about the quack's killing his child, but as this is a free country, he had a right to choose his own physician, 1 whether his daughter was killed or cured \ \ A leak lately took place in the Thames i Tunnel at London which threatened to overflow the entire work, but was fortunate- i [y stopped by some experienced miuers belore any serous damage was done. was the reply, " and if I persevere, I shall | certainly live longer than ever man existed on earth. 1 havo abstained for seven days, ( and they have been longer than any seven years of my life." This poor creature intended to be witty, but told a deplorable truth, i. e.' that such had been the intellectual misery to which he had reduced himself, , that, abstracted from his destroying habit, the tedium of a year was condensed into the space of a day. Temperance among Indians,?A rorrespondentof the Christian Mirror, relates this anecdote : " An Indian of another tribe, sometime ago, brought a keg of whiskey to distribute among the Weas. A Wen Chief, named O ' j Charley, seized the keg, and with his tomahawk broke the head and poured the contents upon tHte ground. He observed afterwards, that the grass was kilied where the ! whiskey was spilt, and seemed to conclude, i thut if it was so prejudicial to vegetable life, i it might also be to animal life?a rational conclusion truly, which may afford a lesson to some who value themselves on a whiter skin than Charley's. He declared that he 1 smelt the devil three days, where the keg was broken. A temperance society has been formed with a considerable number of members.

About the middle of last month, General Gaines sent an officer of the United States r?, , i ? Army into Texas to reclaim some ueser.ers. lie found them already enlisted in the Texan service to the number of two hundred. They stii! wore the uniform of our Army, but refused, of course, to return. The commander of the Texan forces was applied to to enforce their return; but his only reply was, that the soldiers might go, but he had no authority to send them back. This is a new view ot our Texan relations. From a correspondent of the Charleston Courier. Merchants Exchange Xeics Room, ) New-Orleans, Aug. 27, 1336. ^ ATTEMPT TO STEAL SANTA ANNA.

We this week commence the reply of Mr. 'an Buren to the interrogatories of Mr. Villiams, and shall continue it until the mateial parts of it are before our readers; not ecause we are favorable to the election of Ir. Van Buren to the Presidency, but beause, from his prominence as a candidate for hat high office, his opinions on leading politial questions most be a matter of interest to 11 intelligent voters. And we prefer giving hem in his own words to any distorted verion by either his friends or opponents. Onr im shall always be, uninfluenced by our indiidual opinion, to present to our readers, as ar as our space shall enable us to do so, the truth, he whole truth and nothing but the truth upon :very linporiam question 01 national or oiaiu olitics; thus furnishing them the means of judgtig for themselves, whether they agree with us r not. The reader cannot but be struck with Mr. Tan Buren's anxiety to identify himself with he administration of General Jackson, or as he N. York Star expresses it, to prove "that ic thinks as General Jackson, thinks;"' thus ndicating a consciousness that he has 110 jopularity or political standing of his own lpon which to rely; and indicating also a vant of self respect that proves him unlit for he high office to which he aspires. In the following sentence their is somching extremely low and demagogical Spcakng of the victor\' of the President over the U. 5. Bank it is said : "It was the succcsstui winding up ot one 01 he most arduous conflicts between the well inderstood will^of the people on the one side, ind the moneyed power of the nation acting in concert with a formidable jiortion of its poitical power on the other, that has ever taken dace, certainly that has ever resulted in the triimpli of the popular will in any country. What does Mr. Van Buren mean by sepc ating the " moneyed power of the nation" ind "a formidable portion of the political wwer" from the people, and representing hese powers as arrayed against the people! [s there in this country any hereditary arisocracy or titled nobility 7 Is there any moleyed power, or political power distinct from he people ! If a man by industry and frugal!:y accumulates a competence or even wealth or himself and his family is he, on that account to be held up to the public as an object >f odium and that by a prominent candidate or the Presidency 1 Are men whom the peode appoint for brief periods to offices of honor ind trust to be held up as a " formidable" political power opposed to the people ? Again, instead of any victory being obtainid by the people over the Bank, the victory vas really obtained by a single individual and lis immedate dependents, over a most useful, ixtreinely well managed and popular instituion. No institution of the hind was ever nore popular in any Nation, or more deservedly o. A few years before it honestly and patriotically refused to submit to the dictation ol len. Jackson, Mr. Stevenson of Virginia, we hink it was, moved, in the House of Repreicntativcs a resolution to sell tho Stock held >y the U. States in the Bank, and only scren ncmbers voted for it. This vote was consilered a fair test of the popularity of the instiution in the House, and in the nation. 01 hose who voted for the resolution not one perlaps was influenced by any other considcraion than a belief that the charter of the Bank vas unauthorized by the constitution. And ?ven duringthe administration of .Gen. Jackson liinsclf, an overwhelming majority of an adninistration House of Representatives voted hat the public money was safe in the Bank. It is impossible that Mr. Van Burcn does eally believe what he states. He knows, as ?very intelligent man in the country knows, hat the conflict was really one between "the veil understood will of the people on the one ;idc," and that of a popular "military chiefain" on the other. The result proves the nighty influence in this country of great per!onal popularity, however founded; the mc langerous of all influences, to the freedom ol i people. It is a most deplorable evidence ol he wretched state of public sentiment, to see l man who understands the character of the Imerican people as well as Martin Van Buren loes, addressing them with such "stuff"1 .'xpecting thereby to promote liis election to he Presidency'. If we had no other objection to him for this ligh office, but merely that he permits his :ause to be identified with that of a man whose noral character is as dark as that of Richard i[. Johnson, this of itself would be sufficient. Some of our cotemporaries seem to evince :onsiderable excitement at the recent decision >f the Supreme Court of Massachusetts that l slave carried into that State with the con:ent of his Master becomes entitled to his reedom.

From a communication published in the Savannah Georgian, it appears that the Asiatic Cholera prevails with its usual fatality on the dantations on the Savannah and Ogeechee .livers in Georgia. The Charleston City Council have erected i monument over the graves of the volunteers ,vho died in that city after their return from Florida.
