evils To be produced by The slestiou Of Andrew

pGblIc, and acted in direct contradiction to his
own opinion thus deliberately expressed to The
leg islature Of Tennessee
q" If important appointments continue TO de.
yolve Oh the Representatives, in Congress, il
requires no depth OF thought to be convinced
that corrupiion will become the order of the
day, and, evrls Of serious Importance TO the

ssowipg upon editors rewards disProportionais
to their number and qcalihcaiions--thai lhs
removal Of tried and faithful public servants
for opinions sake is an unjust and odious pro.
scription, calculated TO destroy principle aud
Independence, and TO provoke retaliation at
every change of administration--that the e.
neral recall Of foreign ministers is unprrce-
dsn,cd, no, required by ,hcpublic good, and .
useless and unwarranted. expenditure Of tho
public money--that the sentiments Of the ad-
minstration, in reference 10 the protection Of
American industry, are adverse 10 the prosps.
ri,y and independence of the country--shne
tho policy lately adopted towards the Indian
tribes is a departure from justice and humaa-

We havc already had touch of winter
and while drawing on that comfortable ari;els
of apparel, pair Of gloves, divers recoilec.
tions Of what we have read Of their antiquity
and Of the various uses to which they hare
been applied, since the olden time, have rsviv.
cd in our Uranium. That old general. his,o.
rinn, and philosopher; who ridiculed the Per.
slams for covering their hands as well as thsir
head and feet, would have written an essay in
praise Of gloves, and appended il 10 his Cyro.
pedia. if his cars and nose had ever boon as
sailed by q Northwestern in long. II 10, lat. IT
25, or ifhc had ever exposed his bare pare on
a day in January 10 an atmosphere that per.
forms the chopping operation equal TO hsicsI.
ct or clcaver. But il is not merely a. pro-
teciors against tho cold, that gloves arc snti.
tied TO our peculiar regard they claim respect
and venera,ion for the solemn and important,
Offices to Which they have been applied. They
have been thcsymbol, by which lands, estates,
and dgnities were iransferrcd--by them the
warrior has challenged his foe to combat
knights have been installed, bishops invested
with their sees, and kings with their crowns.
Their antiquity 10 not to be doubted Homer
speaks Of l.uries az working in his garden
with gloves on, TO seizure his hands from the
thorns. Only two orders Of society seem 10
have bean intcrdicted from the use of them
In the twelfth century, oil the clergy under
tho degree Of bishop were forbidden 10 cover
their hands, and judges were formerly under
the same prohibition, because their hands, a.
emblems Of purity and truth, should appear
naked. But the most novel and ingenious
purpose 10 which they have been spilled was
by celebrated gluiton, who wore them at Ia.
BILE, that he might handle the hottest meats,
and in that way Get tho advantage Of the rest
Of The company.
The article Under the head Of Notch Nut,
ing on our fourth page copied from the Ladies
Literary Port Folio, (pbiladelphia) is 90 very
aPpropos 10 our own meridian, that we take
tho liberty Of presenting II to our readers, not
doubling that maby Of them haze rs,scn fcs
similar complaints, and would chcerfully en-.
list their services in war Of ex,srmination
against curiosity. Notwithstanding the wri.
ter Of this article seems to have been most
griovously prosecuted by the searching inqui.
s'iivcness of'he curious, yet IL we may judge
from the life, fancy, and poetic exsrgsrs,icn
which he displays in his description, we should
say that his good spirits were very little influ.
enced by his grief.. and ,hs, like socrs,e, Of
old, amidst sll his woes, no never suffers HE
good nature to depart from him.
