THE PRRsfDENY AND CONGRESS.
The unaccountable, inconffent con-
duet OF the PreGdent and Congrefs in
the abandonment Of reitri6tions, which
has 10 detected the friends of The country,
and pleaied It's enemies-ought not to
deter republican, from their duty. Mr..
Madilon j. but an Individual ci,izen-and
though while he is PseGdent, he may in
jure the nation by his wavering policy
we truit and believe there is efficient
virtue and hrmnefs in the people to pre-.
vent the dettruaion of our inltitutions.
Asfora majority Of Congrefs they ap-
pear as clay in the hands Of the potter.

"Sugar Mines ere faid to be found in

What real wonders and marvellous
difcoveries in arts and arms the prelent
administration daily brings to ligh, !
The falt mountain, the dry dock, the
lead mines, the Nova Scotia coal, the
caves OF Kentucky faIt psrte. the caverns
full Of military glory-and now, ffrange |!
fugar MINES are dfcovered, where al! the
lads and laises Of the yankee land may

lfCen. Wilkinfon could only have
been apprlzea that this ltone mill con-
tanned depoGt OF iugar-plums, cigars,
or capers, he would have demo'iihed the
mill in thrice; for it is faid, hunger
will break through fane wall. We cam
not help thinking il was injudicious in

came from the pen Of Richard Ruin, or
fome other equally -diiinguifked member
Of the cabinet. Although the ffyle Of
this eifay is fort Of adhoriftical dignity
and want of connection in it, fill it con-
tains little more than the loweit fang of
the lowea democratic papers-fuch as
the Wing, the Aurora, the Columbian,
the Bottom Patriot. One Jingle panage
only do we think worthy Of notice and
that for the fole purpofe of fhewing,
what lengths the b,gbsa Importers of
corrupt administration can 60 when they
are put upon their mestle, aud driven to
a fort OF forlorn hope. That paAage is
