cannot be destroyed without subverson OF he WHOLE
edifce.
The independent course promised in the con-
clusion of the message, is worthy the limitation
of public men in every station; yet the cautious
manner in which the Governor touches upon
the constitutional functions Of the General TO
vernment, leaves upon our minds some aouo'
of his sincerity. Let the paragraph precea'hs
these remarks, be compared with the sentiments
which follow:
have thus fellow citizens, in obedience to the man
date of the constitution, communicated the ;o"o'on
of the sate and recommended such matters TO you as
have Judged expedent 1t may be proper to observe,
that as intend to shrink from Just responsDity'
and mean to be explicitly understood by our const'u
ents and their representatives, have not cothed my

tailed rs full and comprehensive view OF the supJecs
submitted requires and am fully persuaded, that IN
pursuing this course, which every public servant owes
to the source of all legitimate authority, the errors OF
the understanding will meet with that liberal reception
which is due to the purity of the motives. The same
mpressye considerations in relation to the honor the
dignity the tranquility and the prosperity OF the sa'e'
which induced me at the last session to lncuicate con-
ciliaon and harmony and the union OF all heads all
hearts and all hands in favor of the best interests OF our
country, exist still in undminished force The mode
ration and good feelings which now so generally pre-
vail are the harbingers of better state OF things when
must eventually terminate in the restoration OF that
character and of that just share of influence which
have been greatly impaired by our intestine dvslonsi

INTERESTING TO MARINERS.

Captain GEO F. DE LA ROCHE, of the ship
Lucilla, arrived on Friday from Bremen, re-
quests us to state, for the information of cap
tains bound up the North Sea, that the Gallop-
er Light vessel which broke adrift in the DC.
tober gales, was not replaced by the 18th No
vember, when the Lucila passed there and
that the pilot which she then spoke informed
that it was expected the light would not be
moved there this winter.

The opinion at Napoli was that the new d.

capturing it, the Greek Instruction might be
considered at an end. The best informed men

A USEFUL LESSON.

USEFUL LESSON.
1t is in the recollection Of persons now living
that man announced his intention of perform
ing on the stage the wonderful undertaking OF
making shoe in a minute, completed in all It's
parts. The Theatre was thronged to suffoca-
ton: but who can describe the mingled rage
and wonder, when, instead of a broad cali skin,
to be dissected in the regular way, the Coblerian
Professor produced his leather in the shape OF
boot. and holding it up to their astonished
eyes, addressed the audience thus:-"Ladies
and Gentlemen, this, you perceive, is boot;
but now-(said he, cutting of the top and ma
king two Sits for the letchets)-you see it is
a shoe!!" That modesty which always accom-
panies exalted merit, would not permit him to
wait for the plaudits Of his hearers; he had al
ready secured the profits Of the night, and just
ly considering that he had fully performed his
engagements, by teaching them very useful
lesson, he wished them good night and inn
mediately decamped!-P hilomathic Journal.

A letter from an American gentleman at Bue-
nos Ayres, in speaking of the late victory gain
ed by tho patriots of the Banda Oriental, over
the Brazilian troops, thus describes the manner
in which the battle was fought
"The two armies met at plain called Saran-
dy, place very favorable to cavalry, Of which
both parties were composed. The people OF
tins country always fight on horseback, armed
with carbne and broadsword Before the
battle, Lavalleja made short address to his
men, or f-iends as he called them, and then gave
the necessary orders, the most important OF
which was, that they were to use nothing but
the sabre-their carbnes were fastened at their
backs In such manner as to afford some pro-
lection to the back and neck. The Brazilians
advanced in canter, while the Patriots COM
menced at ioi When within sixty yards OF
each other, the patriots broke into brisk GAL
iop, and as they closed quickened their pace
The Brazillans continued advancing in canter
till within 90 yards, when they fired, but before
they could throw their carbines ouer their shout
dsrs, and draw their swords, the Patriots, at full
speed were upon them, sword in hand Alter
a conflict of about 90 minutes, the Brazilians,
unable to sustain the shock, gave way at every
point"

We are sorry to see the Courier and other
dem-official papers in London, lend themselves
to the frauds Of the French Government and
sneering at Lafayette, the best man in Europe,
whilst they dislike the unreasonable honors
we paid him. The free-will offering on the part
of the whole nation, has put the mods of Eu-
rope very much out of conceit with their own
old regal, stupid shows which are always
bought at price. And we hope on reflection
too that John Bull will not consider the tribute
paid TO the Hero Of the two hemispheres less
even in its moral bearing than the mighty "a
chievements upon the Serpen,ine Canal in St.
James Park, where Commodore Canning and
the old Admiral Of the Blue, hauled down the
striped bunting. OF these things they should
no, remind US, and even now, calculating as we
do, and as we ought, the best feelings towards
each other, we would not bring these things
back to their recollection with any other view
or purpose than that of showing, even the pre-
JUDGED part Of the British people how perfect
ly silly i: is "to cast the first stone" 10 a
great nation stains are wounds. Where at
fronts are not resented, honor is not felt. MIR.
Bull, upon the whole, is no bad sort of fell
low, but his governors sometimes plume them
selves little too much upon their heraldry.
The Eagle however, mouths no feather. Do

SPRING SADDLES.

A WORD TO THOSE WHO FOND RIDING.
The complaint against hard and uneasy saddles,
which is for the most part just and general one and
is really grievance to those who have much riding to
do has caused him to turn his mind particularly that
subject, with view, if possible, to remedy the evil
He with confidence assure the public, that he has
accomplished it. The plan projected is by means of
strong and well tempered steel springs constructed
as support the saddle seat, and give much greater
both rider and horse than saddles made in the
common way any other he has can pos
sbly do The plan is entirely different from the En-
glish elastic saddles with spring bars of STEEL whale
bone &C. and also from those with wire springs: and
he conceves much superior to either as the elasticity
greater and the tree not being put out ofits original
FORM will notbe subject to hurting horses journeys
which is complained ofn the saddles with spring bars
number of gentlemen have those saddles now inuse
and but one sentiment exists among them in favor of
their superiority The invention is equally as applica
BILE to ladies' saddles to gentlemens. Any person
