chow ARE THE MIGHTY FALLEN.n
The potent, the powerful King Caucus is
dethroned, and his sceptre has departed from
him forever.
"But yesterday, the word Caucus might
have stood
Against the world now,
None so poor to do him reverence"
To the venal, the unprincipled, and corrupt
his fall is source Of modification and cha.
grin, because it has blasted their hopes -
but the people, the honest, independent yeo
manry ofthe country, will rejoice, that
"The spell, upon the minds of men,
Breaks, never to unite again,
That led them to adore
Those pagod things, of Caucus sway,
With fronts of brass and feet of clay"
The result of the Caucus is considered q
total discontinue of its partizans. The eff
feet it has produced ON the public feeling al
Washington is very great, and may be judg.
ed OF, in some measure, from a single circum'
stance. On the evening of the 18th, and the
two succeeding evenings, we received two o.
the National Journal, and four of the Wash.
ington Republican, extra, issued on the eve.
ming of the Caucus, with an account of its
proceedings, besides letter from Washing
ton on the same subject, and all from differ.
ent sources.
PAUPERIsM.-We have received commu.
nication, commenting with some degree of Sc
verify, on the practice of some towns, in put
ting up the maintenance of the poor, at auc-
ton, to the most favourable bidder. The
writer contends that it is not only inhuman
and unjust, but impolitic, as many, who are
themselves in INDECENT circumstances, are in
duced, to undertake for less than the actual ex-
pense, to support such necessitous persons, by
reason of which, they are themselves reduced to
pauperlsm, and those, ofwhom they have taken
charge, suffer great privations that poor chill
dren are sent forth into the world without the
necessary education, to qualify them tor the
transaction of ordinary business, or to render
them useful members Of society.
He recommends the general introduction
OF the plan, already adopted in this and many
other towns, ofan asylum for the poor, with
the necessary land and accommodations,f for all
who are able. to contribute by labour toward
their support. This plan has, generally, proved
so eminently successful, as to justify its intro.
duction on the score of economy alone.
The subject is one of vital interest, and i:
deserving the attention of all, especially o
those, whose philanthropy and bcnefcenct
have rendered them an honor to the present
age.

FROM THE WASHINGTON REPUBLICAN,.
| We have reached an important period i
the Presidential combat. There are two side.
One, is the side Of the people--the side of tn
old principles of '76 and 1912 an adherence
to which has carried the republican part
through so many scenes of difficulty and dan
ger: the other, is the side of the radical party
the side OF the intriguers. managers and bal
gamers, who. have sunk the principles of re
publicanism in its form, and who, instead {
the principles of '76, set up the principles {
Caucussing, however partial and unfair, as tn
standard disqualification. 1t is no longer tn
question, whether Gen. Jackson, Mr.. Cal
houn, Mr.. Adams, or Mr.. Clay, shall be Pres
ident of the United States. Individual con
siderations have ceased. The real ouestio
