It has been remarked BY SIR JAMES ScARLETT
in one of his speeches, and IN a tone OF true ph'i-
osophy, that happiness, to we'll regulated ni"o;
depends upon neither station nor fortune. -

MES of private life to any station that could only
be gained by a. sacrifice of principles. The

This is the proper sentiment to be cherished.

We have variety of reports, duplicating
some person or persons in the General Post Office
Department in bad piece of business. We shall
not notice the rumurs further at present.
1t is further reported that Mr.. Barry is to re-
sign his situation and go to Russia, and that MIR.
Wickliffe is to take his place

We observe with great pleasure that the birth
day of GENERAL WAsHINGToN, was celebrated
throughout the country this year, with marks OF
respect and honor. This is gratifying in these
DAYS of degeneracy. The memory of the best
man that America has produced. should be pre-
served by his countrymen. His example is in
itself rebuketo the hollow professions of the
public men of our times. Where amongst them
all is the character that can compare with his, in
moral worth, in independence of spirit in high
toned patriotism, in lofty bearing. in uprightness
and IN principle. Who can look upon his vlr-
tues and not feel disguised with the upstairs or
driveers now showing out amongst us? Will,
we ask again, will the farce not come to an end?

| We have come to dead halt. The political
wheel has turned round and brought US plump
up-not to the devil or one of his imps, but what
is pretty nigh as bad, to DUFF GREEN. Who
would have believed it? We shudder at the
touch, and must mount the fence. We have
a great anxiety to Gust Gen. Jackson, but really
we cannot labor with Duff Green. NO--no-any
thing but that. If Duff will persist in abusing
Mr. VAN buren, and opposing Gen JACKSON,
we shall begin to think that we are all wrong
There certainly must be mistake in the matter.
We hope it will be looked into.

We published Yesterday deserved oompi-
ment paid by the InteIigencer TO Mr. CHAM
pERs, the Chairman of the District Committee in
the Senate, and would take this occasion to ex-
press our acknowledgements not only to him and
the other gentlemen on the same committee. but
to the committee in the other House. at whose
head is Mr.. DoDDRIDGE. The committees have
been attentive, courteous, and industrious That
nothing has been done Of consequence for the
District, is not owing to any want OF zeal or care
on their part. They have uniforml acted so as
to command the respect and esteem OF the peo-
pie placed peculiarly under their protection.

Some persons affect to think that the "Cor
respondence," or IS book or ''affair,' or what
er else YOU may please to call it, does not injure
Cen Jackson. No, not if every body thought
as we do, that he is like bad fish, and won't be
hurt by spelling But the truth is, it sinks him
greatly in the estimation of those who will take
the trouble to reflect upon the situation in which
he has been placed, and the malevolence he has
displayed throughout the whole affair."
A letter from Washington, to the Editor ofthe
Providence American, says:-"a warm cores
pondence is said to be now going on, between
Senator from the South. friend of
MIR Calhoun. Mr.. Hayne and the President Of
the United States, and when that ends, another
pamphlet will be forthcoming"

The Richmond Enquirer says there is no foun-
dation for the rumor Of Mr.. TaZeweI's intended |
resignation.
Col. Trezvant has announced his intention of
declining a reelection to Congress from the
Southampton District. General Eppes and John
Y. Mason are candidates.
