FASHION,.


Custom is the law Of one description of fools,
and fashion of another but the two parties often
clash; for precedent the legislator of the first,
ard novelty of the last. Custom, therefore, looks
to things that are past, and fashion to things that
are present; but both Of them are somewhat
purblind to things that are to come but OF the
two, fashion imposes the heaviest burden for
she cheats her votaries oftheir time, their fortune
and their comforts, and she repay. them only
withthe celebrity ofbeiug ridiculed and despsed
very paradoxical mode Of remuneration, net al
'0ays most thankfully rsceiced! Fashion is the
veriest goddess Of sembancc and Of shade; to be
happy is of far less consequence to her worship

be laughed at by all other classes, and excommu-

in the capitol Of some mighty empire, and having
selected four hsc hundred Of the silliest people
it contains, she dubs them with the magnificent
and imposing titleof THE WORLD! But the mar

is as universally accredited by the many who alb.

of fashion requires not only the weakest folly, but

grace to deformty, and has brought every thing
into vogue, by turns, but virtue Yet she is most

editorial matter,-which is very we'll understood
here to be the CASE
The report of the Military Committee on the pro.
position to abolish the office of Major General was
discussed in the Senate and the proposition was re-
Jected by vote of &c to 20. The best speech up-
on the report was that Of the new Senator from
Pennsylvania, Mr.. Barnard, who displayed init
mate knowledge with his subject, and presented it
IN clear and forcible point Of view. But perhaps
the most remarkable part of the debate, was the
high compliment paid by Mr.. Van Buren, to Mr.
Barnard. Those who understand the wes of our
cunning Senator, thought there was more in this
penegyric than met the ear-Mr. Barnard is al
though claimed by the Jacksonians, still doubtful
man. He has voted in almost every instance with
the Administration, and is considered worthy ob-
Ject OF Mr.. Van Buren's Establishments. He is
seemingly very young man, and his personal APP
Pearance is highly prepossessing.

From OUR CoRREsPoNDEET.

WaShingio1, Aprn 18th.
have sent YOU the report Of the committee on the
contingent expenses of the department OF otate go1
IN in the true Californian spirit, anu intehaeu lor
party effect against the Administrators I'm |
mains of great extravaganza in every branch OF the
expenditure, and enteavours to sustain ITS complaint
by formidable array of figures. Among the prom
;nent topics of discussion, you will perceive is the
discretion used by the Secretary IN making certain
samances t. sureisn ministers and charge 'atalres'
which were approved by the President Inc argu-
ment used by the committee IS not new 1t mas Deen
heard in the House and Senate when the suplect
was discussed in those bodcs and has been read IN
all the opposition prints. Of course it presents but
one side of the argument 1t is not convenient to
state the facts that the Administration, IN making
these allowances, merely followed IN the footsteps
of the administrations Of Jefferson and Madison.
1t was enough for the committee that true to ITS vo-
cation it has brought its share of charges against
the Administration.
Washington, Saturday morning, April IT,
The Jackson party are highly enraged, and more
highly chagrined at the exposure made BY the publ
cation of their Idol's letter to MIR. Campbell, in re-
Iation to Sias Dinsmore. Had they anticipated its
appearance, there would have been disclaimers in
abundance, previous to the publication 1t is now
opposed by the most downright bare-faced false
hoods, and charges most scurrous in their charac-
ter, are made against the Secretary OF War, who
doubtless had little to do with the matter, any,
the most Indifferent individual This is piece of
jackson policy Every thing is referred to the di-
rect agency OF the members OF the Administration.
AS witches were, in ancient times, supposed to
cause, by their hesh arts, every misfortune that
sccarred in the coni5unity, SO there can scarcely
happen any vcissitude which is not attributed to the
instrumentalty of one Of the Secretaries. or to that
&, the President himself. There was slight shock
sAyof.an earthquake here some weeks since and
seHf tho neat day to the Senate in the expectation
that Mr.. Dlas,ch or Mr.. Tazewel would haye attr

when the Varoloid made its appearance among the
;oloured population, it was anticipated that Duff
Green would set it down wicked measure OF

General Jackson's liege subjects. We had snew-

From the National Intellsgencer.

by accounts from various parts of the country,
we are satisfied that silent and gradual but GER
tam change, is taking place in the public sentiment,
favorable to the present Administration, and un-
favorable to those who are opposed to it. This
change is attributable, mainly. if not SOLELY to the
progress OF information, in regard to the grounds
on which the two parties stand opposed to each 9TH
er, and to the operation of reason, which after so
long hesitation, begins to re-assert her rights and
resume her ascendancy. The following information
which reached US by the mail Of yesterday speaks
loudly upon the subject. @
From Cincinnati, in Ohio, we learn that an cleo
ton tor town officers has been recently held there,
at which the opposite parties rallied on political
grounds-the one for the Administration of the Gen.
eral Government, the other against it. The result
was, that, IN that town, which is considered the
strong hold of the Opposition party in which that
party obtained, at the last election majority of
i've hundred votes, the Administration party carried
the day by an average majority of two hundred
votes
From Bedford County, i'll Pennsylvania, we learn
that great change is going on. A letter, now be-
fore US, states, that in the calculation made at Har-
risburg. chat county is put down giving MAORI
ty OF fifteen hundred votes to General jackson ;
but that it is believed by many, that the county
Will give majority for the administration! The
letter adds the following cheering information
| nat the otate VIII go for MT. ADAMS, IS now
beyond doubt" This is what we call rnults.m IN
par0o.
| From Hagerstown, in Maryland, we Learn, that
town election has been lately held which was de-
edcd upon the question of the politics of the Gen.
eral Government, and which rasnlted in the success
Of the Administration ticket in every ward, by
vote of more than four to one! Wedo not say tina
it is right, (but rather the contrary the corporation
elections should be conducted on such principles
but we give the facts as they to us, among tn.
| g Signs of the Times.''

TO the Editor Of the New York american /:

The second Legislative caucus Of this session was
convened by the Jacksonites last evening and
miserably lame affair it was Somewhere about
sixty members we're in attendance, and after organ
izing, Bucklin moved call of names !; but he was
Immediately winked to from this side, pulled by the

was made ~ comprehend that such a course would
not do--t3~ould expose their weakness, and show
too glarins falling off, too palpabe desertion
from their ranks :: within two little months.''-
Buckia therefore withdrew his motion and they
proceeded, with that haste and trepidation which
ever attend the feeling Of shame and the conscious
ness of wrong, to adopt set of resolutions having
for their object to get up legislative address, cali
