LIEUT.. BABBITT.-We learn that Lieut.. BABBirT, of the Navy, has been honorably acquitted of all the charges pre- ferFed against him by Com. ELLIOTT. The decision of the Court Martial has been laid before the Secretary of the Navy and |" the greatest and best,'' and has, by them, been fully approved. Both Com. E. and Lieut.. B. are on the Boston station, and the accusation against the latter grew out of the decapitation of the celebrated "fgure- head" lis stated that the decision in this case, while it reflects the highest honor up- on Lieut. B. leaves Com. E. in quite an unenyiable position. We cannot but think Com. E. has had ''gIory enough'' upon the Boston station, and presume he Is ready by this time to gather rew laurels in anoth- CT quarter.- BaA. Pat.

 sDear Sir: l presume you got all the news of interest through the English and French papers, and, therefore, of the movements of the Spanish and Portugees l need say nothing. But perhaps it may be new to you, that there is an elneute talk ed of in this country, which may yet re- duce Louis Philip to the ranks.
 1t Is we'll known that this parsonage has adopted a very different course from what was anticipated at the outset of his career. Liberal principles are at discount with him, and much inquietude has existed in the sa- looms, on the subject of his future inten- tions.
 A new movement appeares to be pro- iected, and if 1t takes place, the consc- quences will be momentous.

We observe that the most intelligent pa pers in the Union are unanimous in the con- demnaton of MT. Kendall's instructions to the Charleston Postmaster, of which we spoke last week. When we reflect that al- most every Postmaster in the Union is a friend to Van Buren, we can at once perceive the danger of giving them discretionary power to stop any paper which they might conceive improper, in their office.
 We said, too, that Kendall's instructions were in favor of mob law. So they are. Any thing is mob law which rests the power that ought to belong to the law alone, in mob or an individual. We say broadly and openly that Van Buren and his satellites arc the cause of all the troubles in the country. in the shape of mobs and riots-because they have encouraged the idea that Congress and the laws should always bend to popular feeling- because they have taught public officers to depend upon partisan qualities as recommen- dations for office, and to look always to the interests of the party and not of the laws and because they have labored with all their strength, Wright. Benton, and all of them, to excite the poor against the rich. It has been the burthen of their song for the last five years, and now they see it's effects. God help the Union unles the reign of misrule is soon over!

THE PREsIDENr1aL QUESTION:

THE PRESIDENIL4L QUESTION To the Editor of the Advocate:-
 Sir-Haying gone over the claims of Rr. Van Buren upon the people of the United States, arising from his nomination. by the Baltimore Convention, will proceed to ex- anime into his claims upon the Democrats of inc nation--of whatever kind those claims may be. Let me be understood. When 1 use the word Democrats, i mean not that mottled and plebald assemblage who are now called by that honored name, but those men who still hold 10 the princi- pies and the political doctrines which were nursed and upheld by Washington and SUD- ported and cherished by Jefferson. By Democracy, l mean those principles which the elder Adams outraged and offended against-and which were the magnets by which Madison and Monroe shaped tte course ot their administrations.
 take it to be true that Democracy is something more than name without an idea-or creed without doctrines. When use the word, mean by 1t an opposition to the high toned doctrines of federalism- aud in general to Northern politics. con ceiVe that 1t takes a certain set of opinions and well settled doctrines to make man a Democrai-ihat no man becomes one by merely hufraing for Van Buren, or even for Jackson, which seems now to be the only requisite. That part of the nation which is now fondly called the Democracy, has seiz. ed upon q nom dc gucffe to which 1t is not entitled. The Democratic party Is at pre- sent composed of a heterogeneous mixture .et as foul ingredients as those which filled the cauldron of the witches in Macbeth The scum and refuse of all parties has been seethed and slmmered together, and of the mixture has been produced that monster called Democracy-the only legal tender now days. Opponents of the war-friends of the Bank-reyilers of Madison--makers and vendors of rag money-heretics and hirelings have come together; and the host is like Falstaff's ragged regiment. They are as badly off for principle as U was for shirts-heing only half a one between them, which IS 10 stick 10 the strong side Du- ane, lthe elder,) who reviied in succession
 Washington, Jefferson and Madison, IS one ot the high priests. The hoary headed apostate and turncoat oftha Richmond En- qnirer is another. The editors of the New
 York Post, who thank God that MARSHALL is dead, are others.
 l 1t is not 10 snch men and such an assem- blage that give the name oc Democrats and the Democracy. I will define what consider to be the principles of Democracy, and by them Van Buren shall be indeed.
 The first requisite of Democrat, in my opinion, Is, that he should support, defend, and be governed by the Constitution of the
 United States. He should, therefore, se a }stfict consHuctionist, and take no powers Iby implications. lie should have due re- gard to the rights oft the States-equally re-
 moved from consolidation and notification. He should an2iously support the honor oi

The steamboat Eagie, BigeioW, affiFed 5on Monday last, from New 0rleans--and left the next day for the mouths of Arkansas and White rivers, between which places and Lit tie Rock it is intended to run her as Q regu- lar packet. once a week, during the coming season. She brought no four, of which arti- cle there has not been q barrel for sale in this place for some weeks. She furnished the un- pleasant information, however, that 1t was selling at the Point at S0 per barrel. We cannot imagine any justifable reason for this extortionate price. It is most probably ow ing to the late crop paaie, got up in Virginia and elsewhere-and to the prudent foresight of the Illinois sssuekers," who are holding back till the influx of the sstwo hundred thou sand emigrants," who, as they have been gravely informed by a writer in the Missouri Republican, are to pour in upon them this winter.

We have taken the trouble to read the Ad- dress of the Baltimore Convention to the People of the United States. We cannot cumber our columns with it. The reasons and the defence which 1t urges, are the same, though spread out on a greater surface, as those offered in the Congressional Caucus of sirfy-sir, which nominated Crawford and Gallatin, in 1924. There is the same cant n both about the dominion of the party--aud in both that is the pith of the whole matter, One will meet with about the same success as the other. Van Buren and Cambreleng were both in that Caacus--both Crawford men-and ell our readers know that the Jackson men every where cried out against 1t as piece ofiugglery.
 ssRadicai CaucusH was the heading put by the Arkansas Gazette, at that time, to the account of the proceedings of the Caucus.

Some wiseacre in the "Times, under the signature of "a Citizen, D has made an aston- ishing discovery. He has been reading Col. Benton's speech. and the scales have fallen from his eyes. He has found out that the U. States Bank is at work in Arkansas. It has produced all this excitement about indict- nents for perjury-and has turned us all into State Government men. Nc suppose that hit IS meant for the Gazette and its 'sparty. : We don't take 1t to ourselves at all How they must quake, poor fellows! under the ter ribIe denunciation s.A Citizen deserves to be decorated as Nick Bottom was for his dis covery. II is the only reward worthy Of him. He says we are all getting richer by bribes from the Bank. '.fhat's deep, as old Doi- ley says, othat must be deep.9 He must not expect long life-men of extraordinary sense never live long. He says that all office holders are democrats, and of course anti Bank. We thought that was what constitu- ted a democrat at the present day-nobody is democrat if he does not hold office. When ever there is college in Arkansas, we will. make an L. L. D. of him.
