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.

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.

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 \ \

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.

They stii! wore the uniform of our Army,

1XESDAY, K?PTEnBEB 13, 183G.
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. We sec no good cause for excite

lis slave, or permits him to go among aboliionists
deserves to loose him. The Legislate
of South Carolina, long since passed a law
irohibiting any slave or other person of color
fom coming into the State who had been be'ond
the Potomac ; and we suppose ten white
>ersons could hardly be found in the state favorable
to the repeal of the law.
