The Inconsistency Which some of the Opposition Edi-
tors are involved, is really amusing Since Mr.. Adams
election To the Presidency, he has the subject of n.
limited abuse with the Richmond Enquirer. The Admin
sraton has been styled "weak and wretced," and Mr.
Adams has been called every thing but an enlightened
Statesman Yet in 1879 this Enquirer speaking OF
Mr. Adams celebrated letter, defending Gen Jackson's
conduct in Florida, uses this adulatory language:-

Pos. Matter at Philadelphia. Il sppssft
BY an article in the Democratic Press. that
the late Post Master Of that city, had. for
number of years before his removal, been
large defauter to the government, and thas
the facts were known to the Post Master
General, who refused to remove him until with
in a few weeks. Ifthe statements in the Prsss
are true, and we have no reason to doubt they
are, it exposes the most wanton neglect OF the
public interest, on the part Of Mr.. Mclean,
ever known in this country. The following -
a short extract from the article:
"Since the present Post Master General has
been in Office, the Post Master Of Pbiladelphia
became public defaulter several thousand'
saw tw wenty five thousand, dollars. Remonstran-
ces were made, and the public papers called
upon the Post Master General 10 remove the
Post Master of Philadelphia. He was. howev-
er, continued in office but the Temonstrances
and publications had the effect TO induce the
Post Master General for the safety Of the pub
lie revenue, the public eye beng on him, to-
give such orders in re'at on TO the monies re.
ceived at the Philadelphia Post Office, a. to.
put them under the tontroul Of the then chief
Clerk, and beyond the reach Of the Post Mas
ter. Tfls arrangement continued for consid-
erable time, during which time the debt due
from the Post Master to the United States Was
reduced many thousand dollars.
This comparatively safe state Of things be-
came endangered by tie necessity for the
Chief Clerk to GO to Europe oD private bust
ness When he went, it is belle, ed the Post
Master General 90 far failed in his duty as to
neglect 10 take such order as would have Sc
cured as heretofore, for the U. S. Treasury
such monies as should thereafter be received
at the Philadelphia Post Office. The money
! was entrusted to the Post Master himself. who
! without any surtties, 10 the shame Of tho
, Post Master General, was permitted to get
possession of tic public monies. He did so
get possession Of ne receipts Of the Office and
| The natural coz sequences followed be agr n
mere ased The amount he owed as a public De-
faulter. IL the mean time, however, COM
plants OF the most serious and aggravated
| character were made in private and in public
| to the Post Master General calling upon him
10 remove the Philadelphia Post Master

Of them wrote TO Washington, and almost BY

| al Post Office TO deliver the post Office Of this
city TO the gentleman who now holds il. The
desire ofthe Family was soon complied with.

=" John Kane was tried, convicted, and SEN
fenced TO the Penitcntiary for six months, at
hard labor, for numerically beating his horse.
He is grey headed man, 63 years old.'
NJ Y. Gazette.
The sentence Of the court was just and pro-
per, and We regret, that all, who are in the
daily haot Of abusing and cruelty beating
their horses, are not subject to similar pun
ishmcnt. There is something, at once so ma
lignant, cowardly and cruel, in the attacks
that are made OH the brute creation, that the
lenity and indulgence of humanity is exhausted.
Not few weeks since, a man, urged on by a
iend-like temperament, wantonly beat horse
in this town, until the poor, and unoflcnding
animal, was literally made mince meat of; and
yet the offender escaped unpunshed. A few
examples like that which was set by the New
York Court Of Sessions, would bring those who
offend against the laws Of humanity, to their
senses, and teach them, that he who is not
merciful, shall not expect, or receive mercy.

MoNEY.-It is a frequent enquiry among
business men, when will the Banks again DIS
count The answer to this question, it seems
to us, depends on that Of another When will
the specie capital of the country be again
equal to what it was, six months ago
1t is manifest that the paper currency Of the
country cannot safely be enlarged beyond a
certain proportion 10 the amount of specie
capital. II among all the Banks there is but
about half the amount Of specie which there
was. six months since, it is evident that they
cannot, without hazarding their credit, keep in
circulation more than one half the amount of
Bills which they could at that period. Until
therefore, the specie capital is again restored,
the discounts OF the Banks must be limited and
small and the inconveniences now expert
enced, must, to some extent, continue to be
felt Worcester YeOman.

Gen. Jackson and the Tariff - The answer

Gen. Jackson and the Tariff The answer
Of Cen ia ackson to the Senate ofIndana, whs
addressed him, through the Governor Of that
State, TO ascertain his opinion in regard 10 the
Tariff question, it appears does not give that
satlsfa ction which the Hcroiles expected. One
Of the papers Of that State says:--" The Gen.
erals friends must not expect any support from
this State. The equvocal manner in which
he answered the questions put to him by Gov
ernor RAY, has disappointed every one-his
warnest friends have abandoned his cause"

GG-LAw LIBRARY.-We are requested to-
state that an error has crept into the Report
of the Proceedings Of the Assembly in stating
that the Providence Bar Library Company,
pet,loned for charter of incorporation. They
petitioned, that the fees. for admission Of At
tornies in this County, now taken by tho
State, might be granted to them for the pur-
chase Of books.
This Association has not been formed but
few months, and 200 dollars has already been
expended for the purchase Of Law Books
The Judges Of the different Courts are to en-
JOY the use Of the Library free of expense.

fore the Cadets at Capt. Parridge's Militia
ry Academy, Mddlctown, Con. has recently
been published by Booksellers in New York
and Boston. A copy of the work, has politely
been forwarded to US, by the author, and we

Of the most positive and incontrovertible pro-
ductons. against the absurdities and evils Of

we shall take occasion to make such extra cts
from it, as may appear to US TO bo most
interesting.

written, but we would suggest to our cores
pondent, that the too frequent recurrence TO
newspapers, for redress for real or supposed
injuries, is not productive Of any particular
good. We arc fond Of good bread, and are Of
opinion that our friend bakes that, which is as
good as that of his neghbors. All our bakers

will all reap ample rewards.

tell IA that their candidate has shared tho same
fate. The charge We deny.
II is true that the history Of General Jack
son, has been very freely and very fully con-
sidered, and many Of his faults have been pre-
scented to the people but if this has been un-
pleasant to the Hero Of the Hermitage, he
must console himself with the reflection, that
he provoked us to the course we have pursued
As, if driven on 10y the impciuosity Of those
fiery feelings, which induced him to commit his
sxcesses at the battle Of the Horse Shoe, Mr..
Adams had no sooner taken the seat TO which
he had been consii,utionalIy elevated, than he
suffered himself to be run in opposition to him
us a candidate for the Presidency; and as il is
believed. directed his tools TO assail the Presi-
dent, with all their vengeance and virulence.
That he had right to present himself to the
people as a candidate, no one will deny; and
if he had contented himself with the mere pre-
sentation of his claims, his private history new
er would have been assailed or exposed. But
worked up TO desperation, by disappointed
hopes and mad ambition, his first attack was
on the private fame of Messrs. Adams and
Clay. and ao not only charged them with po-
litical corruption, but with moral offences,
equally abhorrcnt. Thus attacked, the friends
Of Adams and Clay, were driven 10 the laws
Of retaliation for redress, and they have not
scrupled TO unravel the private and political
histories of General Andrew Jackson. THIS
has generated a political excitement "a kind
Of hectic Jeuer, which We pray Heaven may
be speedily allayed, and the Fates forbid that
it should be again generated, whilst We hold
place in this world Of existence. Our elections
can be managed without this unne cessary ex-
element, and why then, we would ask. is it
generated? Simply to crafty the malevolent.
tho ofice-hunter, and the unprincipled seeker
for power.

Ssnce supported his administration. An intimats
aequaint ance of many respectable republican
citizens of Rhode. Island makes me respect
them; the frmness with which they wthstood
tho hostile attacks Of tho federal party uepn
tho administration during tho war, warrants
the assertion that the administration had uot
frnor supporters in the country. The Poihic-
al contest ragged with fury in Rhode-i'land,
and Mr. BaTges was oas Of those; whose
character was marked with that political ran
cour and virulence towards the administration,
which should forever crca'e in the minds of
republicans disgus,and distrust, however sincere
Ne may affect 10 bo in it's support at the present
tirne. The frmness with which the republicans
rssistsd the attacks Of the federalsts, awed
tAam into respect and warned them OF the
consequences Of rebellion. The republican
citizens Of Rhode Island have as much as any
state in tho Union, in proportion TO their num-
bsrs, contributed to the present prosperity,
happiness and gloiy, which the citizens oi the
republic now enjoy.
.ARepubliean FSitnd of the Administration.
Not having time to notice the article at
length, we shall only stop to enter our protest
against the comparison which the writer has
drawn, between Mr.. Burgess and Francis Bay
lies. sPrevious to the last Presidential Election,
Mr.. Bsylies, was the open and declared foe of
Mr.. Adams, and at the trial, opposed him with
his vote and his eloquenco. Mr.. Burgess took
. stand decidedly contrary, and several months
previous to the election of Mr. Adams, made n
public speech in his favor, and was among the
many Efficient supporters Mr. Adams had IN
Rhode leland. II is true, that for two years
prior TO the month Of November, 1924, he did
not mingle in the poiicalsquabbcs Of tho day
bu, his predictions were nevertheless in fa-
vor Of the present Chief Magistrate.
In refraining from any participation in the
,strifcs Of the times, he was influenced solely by
4 regard for his numerous professional duties;
nor was he disposed to come forward and en-
gage in On acrimonious political war, which
did not promise any particular benefit to HIM
self or to his country. But when the hour OF
trial arrived ,,he was not'found backward he
was among tho foremost of Mr.. Adams de-
tenders Tho conduct Of Mr.. Baylios was just
she contrary as all know, who knew any thing
OF the man.
We think it litto singular. that Massa-
chusetts paper should be found interfering with
our local politics, and with the permission of
the gentleman who hoarishes in the columns Of
tho Common wealths Advocate, We will OBJ
servo, for his Especial Information. that pe,
of Rhode Island are quite capable Of manag-
ing our own affairs, and shall tako tho liberty
to do SO, il not interdicted by the DEGREES OF
the "Bay State" Presses. As we allow Mas
sachusetts, to manage her own affairs in her
own way, it is passing strange to US, that she
will not allow US the samo republican and ma
tural privilege

THE WATcHMEN.--A CORRESPONDENT bn

THE WATcHMEN.-A correspondent has
complained to us, that the watchmen do not do
their duty, and asserts that when the late fire
in the neiehborhood Of Mr.. Job Carpenter took
place, they we're the last to be at the scene of
conliagration. Whether this was 80 or not we
cannot say, but it is certainly reasonable to
suppose, that our watchmen can be awa vs.
present, and far less reasonable is il to suppose
that they should be the first to defeat anv ca
lamity which happens to the town. They are
but twelve in number, and are distributed in
every part Of the town, and it cannot be sun
posed for moment. that when they are at ,he
extreme ends Of the place, that they can know
what is going on in the centre.
From what we know of them, we believe
them to bo vigilant and faithful; but il they are
not, those who are assured Of the fact, should
make a complaint to the Town Council, and
have them removed. We cannot control them
we have no right to interfere with ,hoir con-
Germs, any more than other citizens, nor can
our press correct their morals or amend their
habits. If they are guilty Of error. Thus stu
ated. We advise our complaining friend to seek
the proper source for redress, and If hi, charges
can be made good, we undertake to assure him.
that a speedy remedy will be applied.
