Military academies on the plan of that at
West Point are rapidly increasing in the United
States. We believe there are several more in
operation besides the one under the direction Of
the government. Capt Par!ridge's is much &C..
LIBERATED. Iii justly so. In Vermont or New
Hampshire, steps have been taken for a similar
establishment. A few weeks since we mention
ed, that one was about commencing in North
Carolina. There cannot be doubt but the
economy, education and practice at such AGA
denies, are peculiarly appropriate for tue citi-
zens OF a free country. The permanency of our
institutions depends much upon the efficiency of
militia force. These military schools will
spread knowledge of military tactics to the re-
motest states OF the Union. On another ground
they are valuable The instruction given at
these Academies have reference to the physical
as we'll as the mental qualities. This is their
peculiar feature, and in this respect they are on
improvement In the old-school colleges.

BITING AGAINST FILES.

The letter of Jonathan Roberts, and the adj.
dress of Mr.. Wright, give great annoyance to
certain of our politicians. Vast quantities of
ink have been exhausted upon them, and much
other stationary consumed in the same way
They have occasioned no little wear and tear
of brains, and yet, like the file in the fable, the
articles and their authors remain unhurt. The
blood that flows is from the tongue of the viper

MIR. CLAY.

The influence which Mr.. Clay's speech is
likely to have on the people Virginia, in con-
vincing those who suspected his motives be-
fore, of his innocence and purity in voting for
Mr.. Adams as President over Gen. Jackson, has,
as might have been expected, created alarm in
the Editors Of the Enquirer, Under feelings
of high excitement they have animadverted up
on his address at the Lewisburg dinner, and af-
feet not to be convinced by the business of his
reasoning. The accusation of interested mo-
tives in accepting the Office of Secretary of
State, the only charge touching the integrity of
his vote, is fully and satisfactorily explained to
every disin,erested and unprecedented mind
had he refused this appointment, he would still
have been accused by the very same party of ele-
waiting to office by intrigue and corruption, Pre-
sident under whom he would not accept an Office.
The structures of theEnquirer upon relay un-
der the editorial head, * the subsequent remarks
of the senior editor over the signature of "Pa-
pirius Cursor" deserve no particular reply at
this time. The same reasons have been urged
before, in various shapes, thousand times, and
as often refuted. The people will appreciate
properly this calm, dgnifed address, couched
in language of simplicity and truth; and we
doubt not it will most generally meet with that
applause and commentator, which on the spot
followed its delivery. Wing.

The opposition papers must be hard pushed
formaterials to work upon In proof of this
every word the Executive, which they can
catch at, is seized hold of as the subject of re-
mark. Thus few words, which escaped Mr..
Adams, at the late school exhibition in Boston,
are criticised, and explained, and re-expounded
through whole colamns, when it is probable;
that Mr.. Adams did not reflect moment upon
what he was about to say, but spoke off hand;
and yet what he did say, was strictly appropri-
ate to the occasion Not one of the carpers
could have bettered it, had he been in the place
Of Mr.. Adams. But, we repeat il, il shows TO
what straits they are driven, when such occa-
sions are seized upon to excite popular preju-
dice. .ABany Observer
