"STRAws SHOW WHICH WAY TIE WIND
BLows."-It is really amusing to perceive
with what readiness the leaders Of Jackson
ism dcnounce those of their party who re-
fuse to subscribe to all its odious doctrines.
From the following extract ofan article which
appeared in the Republican Herald" of the
10Th instant, the tory organ in Providence, it
would be inferred that the sentence of erput-
sion had been passed upon Mr. Potter in Il
manner not altogether equivocal.
"Thc people will not suffer another bank of
any description to be established. They will
support and sustain u gold and silver instead
of paper currency, and leave tn penny nail
and selfish politicians to look ont for them
selves"
! Upon this subject the editor of the New
York Courier and Enquirer makes the follow
ing appropriate remarks:
"Mr Elisha r. Potter, of ofRhode-lsland, has
experienced in his own person, pretty strk-
ing excmplificaton of Jacksonism, and Of the
fate that awaits him who faileth in the small
lest fractional part of his faith. He who
offendeth in one point is guilty of the whole, I"
according to Kitchen precept, and Jackson
man may do ninety and nine acts of party
righteousness, and failing to do the hundredth,
he is spitted and roasted sans redemption
Mr. Potter has been a most INSCRIPTIONS
Jacksonian-the very sturdiest of tories, and
as such has heretofore enjoyed little less than
Kitchen canonlzation, for long time. Dur
ing the recent debate, however, in the Rhode
Island Legislature, on the subject of Execu-
tive usurpatons, he had the temerty to ac-
knowledge his conviction, that National
Bank was essential to the interests of the
country, and at the same time to ridicule the
paltry electioneerng humbug of a metallic
currency "a matter that he looked upon as
just about as wise and feasible, as currency
of tenpenny nails. No sooner have the min
ions of toryism ascertaned that Mr. Potter Is
neither fool nor knave enough to go quite the
total animal, than they open upon him In full
cry. He Is every thing that is base-every
thing that is mean and unmanly. They abuse
him at every corner of the street-they de-
nounce HIM as tlme-server, hypocrlte, and
an office seeker. They have dropped him as
their candidate for the United States Senate,
and will probably take up the honorable Dutee
J. Pearce. This will make very little differ
ence to Mr. Potter, to be sure-tor we take it
that the chance for either of them to be cleo
ted, is very much like Van Burens prospect
for the Presidency-no chance at all but it
shows what hard masters those men serve,
the bowstring-fealty or immediate crucifix-
ion, is the rule in that service! We give the

choice of the people, who will not fail to elect
the most enlightened, experienced, accom-

try.

country? NV friend, honor your patriotic

ter. read here the account of your last G.

lawless violence Of aliens, armed with blud-
peons and dirks, and niesting your polls.-
And as to the choice falling on the most en-
lightened and accomplished statesman in the
country: you will excuse me sir, | am TO-
repner, do not wish to wound your feel
inrs-but if your present national rulers of
the dominant party are the most accomplish
ed statesmen in the country, craftsmanship is
at rather a low ebb with you. No sir, permit
me to tell you, that so far from initiating your
example, | think what has been passing in the
United States the last five years, will give
England another lease of monarchcal GO
yernment for at least century. We begin
to think our hereditary monarchs not so bad
a business. Every fresh act Of violence at
your elections, and every incompetent man
you elevate, gives stability to our European
despotisms.

A SHORT DIALOGUE
Bet,ceen an Englishman and an american, on
CONSTITUTIONAL REFORM.

.1merican.-I rejoice, sir, to see the progress
which your country is making, in the great
work Of political reform.
! Englislmdn.-We have indeed done much.
We have got rid Of many crying abuses in
the House of Commons. The borough mon
gering system is cut up by the roots, and we
have a good prospect now of fgetting House
that will fairly and truly represent the peo-
Pile. When that is accomplished, we may
hope for the reduction of expenditures, and
the repeal Of taxes.
.4nlerican.-Yes, yes, no doubt; but you do
not mean to stay your hand in the business Of
constitutional reform, with the abuses in the
House of Commons. There are great abus-
es connected with the House of Peers.
| EnglisItnan.-There arc; and not few of
our friends are disposed to take that part of
the constitution seriously in hand perhaps
to exclude the bishops from seats in the
House of Lords, and to limit the royal prerog-
alive in creating peers.
.4merican.-Is this all; do you mean to stop
here?
! Englishman--Pcrhaps not cannot deny
that there are many among us, who hold
body like our House of Lords to be essential
ly all abuse; and who think the monarchy
would be safe, if our Lords, like the French
Peers, held their dignities only for life.
.4nerican-There you have it, "the mondr-
chg ,co,ld be safe" want to know my friend
whether among all your abuses, this greatest
of all is alone to remain unreformed?
Engiishman-Monarchy an abuse' How
so?
.ameican-l can hardly answer your ques-
ton seriously, for know nothing palmer than
the proposition itself But is il not n great
abuse that the mere chance of birth should
decide who shall be the Chief ruler over a
great nation?
Euglishman-IIow else shall it be decided?
You surely would not have it settled by force.
You would not give us up prey to military
usurpation. You do not, hope, recognize
the right Of the strongest. You would not.

PosT OFFICE AND THE CURRENCY.-Sam-
uel Usher of Kingfeld, Me. has lately been
arrested for opening letter received at his
Office, and purloining therefrom five hun
dred dollar bill. Usher was appointed to this
office since Gen. Jackson "took the response.
bility"-t the old Post Master, worthy and
respectable man, being removed for the pur-
pose. More scoundrels have been detected in
the Post Office Department, than in all other
branches of the Government, and that Is
bold word. In this very case the cmoluments
of the office are stated to have been too
small to satisfy what Usher deemed due to
him for his party services. Being great bel
lower of Jacksonism, and he accordingly ek-
ed out his deserts by pilfering modicum of
the "rag money" lie is not the only sclcrc-
knave in that department There
is more than one vapid coxcomb with no other

and well made, with sharp features-smaif
eyes, and countenance strongly indicative
OF low cunning. His beard, which was origl-
nally brown, is now good deal silvered with
grey hairs, and is so enormously large that ID
gives him most hdeous appearance. Alto
gether the man looks more like Spanish or
italian Brgand, dressed in one of their fanci-
tu costumes, than any thing else.
A little after eleven o'clock, the Recorder
and Aldermen took their seats on the benchy
and in few minutes after, the Recorder an
nonnced that the Court, after the most serious
deliberation, had determined to suspend the
prisoners trial for the offence OF obtaining
money under false pretcnces, and deliver him
up to the authorities in Westchestcr County,
to be tried for the alleged murder of Mr. Pier
son. The prisoners counsel made long and
earnest appeal to the Court to have MIN tried
here for the lesser offence, prior to his being
sent to Westchester, but the Court overrucd
the application, and the prisoner was remov-
ed in custody of an officer.

brightness until o'clock, when it is lost in
