From n. Pitts5urg Statesman.

1t is no, a little singular that while the pa
pers friendly to General Jackson, in this state,
are denouncing Mr.. Adams as violent and in
ve,erate federalis', the federal prints in New
Jersey are condemning him because he has con-
ferred all the late appointments TO Offices in thnt
state upon democrats exclusively, The truth is,
there never has been an administration conduct
ed upon more correct and republican principles
than that which now so ably presides over our
country.

bill was reported by Mr.. Storrs, from the
Committee on Naval Affairs, 10 authorize the
building Of two schooners for the naval service,

The bill for the relief Of the New York and

structions to consider the propriety Of making
a grant OF township to all the States which
have not already received lands for literary or

In the British House of Commons, on the
23d Of November last, Mr.. Western, a distin.
guished country member, who has made the
condition of the agricultural interest in Great
Britain his chief study, spoke as follows i
"The address to the Throne now before the
House adverted to the distressed state Of the
manufacturing classes throughout the king.
dom; but it wholly omitted to notice the equal
ly distressed state Of the agricultural classes,
although the labourers in agriculture, were suf-
fering under an extreme depression, arising
from the burthens TO which they were exposed
He thought it more necessary to advert to their
situation, because the speech lamented extreme
y the degree Of distress prevalent amongst the
manufacturing poor, and this exclusive sympa-
thy had a direct tendency to confirm an opinion
which unhappily prevailed, that the agricultu-
raj classes were in state OF high prosperity,
and were f1ourishing at the expense OF the ma
nufacturing interests Such an opinion did
most unfortunately prevail among the manu-
featuring labourers, although nothing could be
more unfounded or unjust; and the tendency OF
the speech was undoubtedly to confirm the er.
ror. They had even heard such an opinion ex-
pressed by worthy Alderman in that House,
though nothing could be more calamilous than
that the different classes should be placed in a
state of hostile feeling 10 each other, or that
they should be taught 10 think, that the pros
perilyof the one was The adversely of the other.
1t was important to fill up the omission in the
address, since the agricultural classes were mn
quest ionaoly in a state Of the greatest possible
difficulty He could assure the House, what
indeed so many Of the members knew by per-
sonal experience, that the agricultural poor
were in state in which they could scarcely
struggle with the burlhens that Cypress them
they were scarcely able to pay the very re-
duced rents that had been RENTED to them by
their landlords. Capital employed in agricul-
ture had never made such inadequate returns
as at the present moment; and the laborers in
agriculture were never worse paid. They were
in that unfortunate predicament, that no ade-
qua,e demand existed for The labor They
were reduced 10 such deplorable situation,
that they we've obliged to entreat for any en-
ployment, and at almost any wages, although
formerly there had existed great demand for
tina, which was their capItai oil property, viz:
their labour Such was their state; but he
could tell the House, that their calamities were
increasing The poor rates were becoming
higher, and he believed tina, danger was to be
apprehended, unless material change could be
effected in their circumstances. If their condi-
ZION were not soon improved, the House, would
find the agricultural labourers in similar state
to that Of The manufacturing classes at the pre-
sent moment"
