THE VOTE AND THE ACT.

Our neghbor, the Patriot of Delaware, quotes
the resolution of Congress, thanking General Jack
son for his good conduct, as General, at New Or
leans but helikes not to be laughed at when he as
sers that this vote ofCongress So is proofthat Gen
eral Jackson not guilty othe charges made against
him by the Adams men !" To have made such an
assertion as this, was Notifying enough--but to be
laughed at--and to see the public laughng-is tru-
ly distressing.
We would call the attention of our neghbor-and
of the public, to an act of Congressman thanking
the General as mere military man-but to an act
of Congress expressing opinion of him as leg

LIEVE the People of Florida from the operation Of
certain ordinances and this day published. By

what it said, and only chat 1t said and it is our
private opinion that when Congress passed the act
to " RELlEVE the people of Florida''-it express
ed its sentiments on General Jacksons ordinances.
Let the public read and Judge. We have some We

He (Jackson) will not get more than third
of the votes of Newly ork--certainly much less
than one half This is no rash assertion. Its war
rahted by public opinion in that State, and by ac-
counts from all parts of it. Pennsylvania, parties
are very nearly divided. Twenty-slx counties are
named which will give Administration majorities.
But who can estimate the effect that the S. Carroll

united as one nan for the Tariff. II is her policy
begun by her influence, and gradually increased to
what it is, by her exertions and unanmity. What
will she say, when she sees that s. Carolina, jack

How will she reason but thus If the Jackson splr-
it has already raised the standard OF rebellion a.

when has elected its President and has all things
in its power? This reasoning will be Ineligible to
every understanding. 1t will be irresistible, be-

the standard Of Jacksonis struck outright in Penn
syvania. The politicians who have supported
Jackson there, from popular impulse, will hasten to

ofN. York.

the pretence that his election will prove nothing, is
used as an anchor thrown out to windward. But
this shallow device will deceive none. The identity

by many thousand more free tOhite citizens, than The

fore it be that the votes Of slaves and the master of
slaves, are to outweigh in worth and value, the
votes of free and educated population, that earn
their own living by the work Of their own hands,
objection is alike futile and unfounded. Besides
Gen. jackson, as has been seen by incontrovertibe

some of the States which he obtained, how ever

From the Democratic Press.

THE POSTMASTER GENERAL has put
forth Proclamation, dated June 10, on the subject
Of newspapers and packages, and expresses hope
that Post Masters will so conduct themselves to
Inspire public confidence. We lately copied
from Washington paper some pertinent remarks
on the ateness Of the hour at which this Proclama
ton was issued. Without trenching upon the pub
lie time, or that Of the constituted authorities, we
will state a fen FACTS.
About two weeks ago, some large packages, mark
ed "pubIic documents" and ranked by an opposi-
ton Senator. arrived at Swedesboro' IN J.) Post
Office. The Post Master, when they were called
sor said he suspected the packages did not contain
public documents, 'as endorsed and insisted upon
their being opened. They were accordingly open
3D. and found to be packages of the ;. U. S. Tee-
graph" The Post Master with great proprlety-
he is not jackson man--lnsisted that newspaper
postage should be paid, as it would be fraud upon
HE revenue to permit the Telegraph to pass as "Pub-
lie Documents"
The Post Master wrote statement of these facts
to the Post Master General. We should be gratih-
ed 10 learn that the letter Of the Post Master and
the answer of the Post Master General were laid
before the President. We understand that no thanks
are given by the Post Master General to the Posi-
Master iur bis vigilance but many excuses are Of
icred for the Senator, such it must have been in
hurry or mistake that he committed such fraud,
and the Post master has hint that he should moi
be too prylng. or particular, III houcihS sucl
things.
We have heard of many such frauds as we have
here stated but have thought it not worth while to
publish them.
SOUTHERN EXPEDITION.--We copy, with
much pleasure, from the National lntelligencer o.
Saturday last the following article on the subject
of the intended National Expedition to the South
Sea and Pacific Ocean-
We understand that orders have issued from the
Navy Department. to the commanding officers Of
the West India squadron, for the immediate return
of the sloop of war Hornet TO the Navy Yard al
New York, to undergo the necessary REPAIRS to I'll
her for the expedition to the South Sea and Pacific
Ocean. The Hornet is the smallest soop of war
we believe, in the service, and may, by removing
her heavy ornament and by some other alteration
be made good discovery ship. We learn that
several Navy officers, distant stations, have been
sent for to join the enterprise. We have not heard
who will be the senior officer, but understand the
appointment will soon be made. We learn, also,
that ii is contemplated to send one, or perhaps two.
small merchants briggs in company with the Hornet.
These small vessels will be of essential service to
the enterprise, and may greatly extend its useful
ness. We do not know, however, that those brlgs
will be procured by the Navy Department, but
they will act entirely under its control. The pro-
vision made by Congress. for the expedition was
not ample as was desired by its projectors, but

In what sad plight must the prosttuted presses
be-when they attempt to deny that Mr.. H. Benton
COL Of the 39th did not write the letter, descrbngl
Jackson's fight with him at Nashville! Senator
Benton, of the Nezu York Legislature, was in that
city, and Noah, on the authority of that Senator,
denies that he wrote the letter 10 question Noah
knew he was guilty of deception. Other prostitu-
ted presses, copying it, know that they are circula-
ting the deception. Col. Thomas H. Benton of
Missouri, in 5erit,ng, refuses to 'erplain, recant
or deny zvhat had happened" This was known.
The deception was deemed, by Noah, to be neces-
sary But such things do not astonsh us, nor should
we be astonished, if it should be asserted that Con-
gress did not pass the act to "relieve the people
of Florida Or if admitted to be an act Of Congress,
that it meant something totally different from what
it actually expressed--as in the vote of thanks to

After the statement of the vote on the several
leading questions in Congress, given in our last, we

was owing to the Jackson majority.
Again, we cant for our life conjecture how the

as to suit his views, and yet be less difficult
to be executed. After some remarks this
course was assented to by the mover and
the House. The House adjourned to Mon
