IMPROVING THE PRESS.

Mr. Van Buren's proposition in the Senate
of the u S. 10 improve the condition offhe press,
and as means thereof, 10 USE the public mo-
mics of the country, is calculated it strikes DIS,
TO excite much attention and discussion. The
object when plainly stated, is no other than 10
corrupt by means the Senate's patronage, &
the much more extensive patronage, which the
members Of the new "Combinalion" against
the present administration, will be required H.
Individually, and through their friends, TO afford
sufficient number Of presses 10 write down MIR
Adams and his Cabinei, and 10 write up Mr.
Jackson and the motley combination" that is
TO sustain him Ofthe decorum, the dignity,
Of making the Senate Of the u. S. an ins,ru-
ment in so base scheme, we will not discourse
remarking only that Mr.. Randoiph's speeches
and conduct as Senator, and Mr.. Van Buren's
inlrigues, have in few short months, degraded
to The level Of an ale-house club, body, g.
which the nation has heretofore looked with
unmingled respect and confidence,
AS TO MIR. Van Buren's personal agency in
this mode Of improving the press, II is no new
thing During the last Presidential contest, he
employed himself very assidiously in causing
the Argus, then and now the supple instru-
ment of his will, to be circulated at the South,
in order to improve its conditions, the pub
lie mind 1t will not be denied, that Mr.. Van
Buren, exerted himself among his brother SEN
atcrs and others, at Washington, to obtain, and
did obtain, great number of subscribers to
the Argus, as the paper that was 10 be relied
upon, to further their particular views. Hap
PLY the people did not suffer themselves to be
cheated into concurrence in these views; but
defeat does not dispirit Mr. Van Buren,. He
has now to play over the same game; but on
this occasion he seeks to extend his means, by
taking the money appropriated by the public
for the honest uses of the Senate, to reward the
efforts of personal partizans, AS yet, however
the Senate, though % votes were found to sus-
tain Mr. v. BIS. scheme, has notcommitted it.
self as body thereto.
When in connection with this bold attempt,
illustrated by some minor ones OF a similar cha
racter, such as the advance by Mr. Senator Ia
ton Of large sum OF money to sustain the Col.
umbian Ober,er in Philadelphia, the purchase
Of the Louisiana Advertiser, and its immediate
consequent, conversion from paper friendly,
into paper hostile to the administratlon-we

Of the "combination,"' (Mr. Floyd Of Virginia

This, however, is Mr.. Van Buren's notion of

Letters have been received in Philadelphia
which state that Mr.. Owens establishment a,
New Harmony, in Indiana, has fallen to pieces.
in conse auence, merely, Of the repulsion OF its
parts. The protector, it is said, has gone to
New Orleans, and the members of the Soci-
ETY. have dispersed. 1t is said also that he
complains bitterly Of he unmanageable, hete'
roEenous materials that he had to work with,
in his essay, to establish new form of ciyilized
society.
I, is we'll known to the general newspaper
reader, that the Democratic Press, Of Philadel-
phia, supported the pretensions of NJ. Craw-
ford in the late Presidential election, and that
during the contest, deeming Mr.. Adams the on.
ly formidable rival, the Editor INDUCED in ma
ny unius,ifiabIe attacks upon the political prin-
ciples Of his candidates prominent opponent.
These attacks have recently been republished
by the "JacksoE Stock" Paper, called the PAL
LApIuM, with view to destroy the influence OF
Mr.. Binns, who now supports the. Admins,ra-
ton. In reference 10 these attacks, Mr.. Blnns
says, in his last paper, "The~ may be found in
the Democratic Press many articles in opposi-
ton to the election of Mr.. Adams, but can there
be found s,ngis sentence ,chich indicates prefer
ence for General JacksonS HERE CAN NOT
There never has been moment in whicn W.
have stated, or put to paper, word or SEN
,ence, which, by any fair construction, could be
tortured into preference of General Jackson 10
Mr.. Adams, as President of the United States.
When Mr.. Adams was elected, we felt re-
lieved from world of apprehension, which
pressed upon us from the fear that person, so
incapable from want of education, and so dis
qualified by temper and habit as General Jack
son should be elected. We at once gave these
feelings to the public. We have seen no good
cause to change our opinions, but many to con-
firm them.
We hayeseen cabinet appointed of the most
distinguished and best .principled men in the
country, and the principles which they hac ad'
vocated out Of power, practised by them in au-
,hority, aud we have felt entirely confident that
the country was in able and trustworthy hands.
With these feelings and opinions, and with our
knowledge of the disposition, TENDER and want
of aequ;remcn, and experience in General Jack
son, we have given our support, such as il is,
to the present administration in opposition 10

headlong;violence, would cas-, the administra-
ton on, Of Office from 10 other motive, or con.
