THE BUBBLE IS BURSTING

There seems TO be at last a CLEAN of
sunlight on the political darkness that has
shrouded the country. There are evident
indications that the sceptre has departed
from President Jackson. His advisers are
no longer omnipotent in Congress. His
party is falling TO pieces. Mr.. Benton can.
not rally them in the Senate. Mr.. Cam.
breleng's whistle does not bring them to
their posts in the House with their old read
mess. Mann and Vanderpool--the WORTHY
representatives. of the Magician have
been degraded to the ordinary Level of NOR
tails. The Van Buren, delegation from N.
York-but a few weeks since the file.lead
ers, the fuglemen of Congress- have been
sborn of their beams. The violent leaders
have attempted to carry things with too
high hand. The honest members of The
party could not submit TO it. The real
ly republican members were well aware
that it was impossible TO reconcile the bro
posed eStravagant expenditures, with their
promises TO the people, and the policy of a
republican government. They knew that
it was ont of the question to convince the
people that forty millions is a smaller sum
than thirteen millions /; or that sirty mil,
lions in the treasury on the first of January
will not leave a very considerable surplus,
after providing for all legitimate expendi
lures.
Under these circumstances, it cannot be
a matter of surprise that Mr.. Van Buren,
and the chief c%onspirators have been con.
demned of late to the most signal defeats.
Mr.. Benton has uniformly exhibited the
most bitter hostility to the Deposite and
Surplus Bill of Mr.. Webster. 1t was
seen that a feeling was abroad favorable
to the bill. The party became alarmed
we speak from positive information when
we say that caucus after caucus was held
OF the faithful, at which BENTON, WRIGHr.
and VAN buren, opposed any distribution of
Me SURPLUS, ercept by Mr.. Wrights Dian
Of investing IL in stocks. Others of The
party differed. Final action was DELAYED,
and every effort was made by them in The
Senate to avoid a direct vote. They once
united IN a vote to recommit, with ~instruc.
tions TO separate the d~eposite from the dis.
tribuilon OF the surplus; but the vote was
reconsidered, and the bill was ordered to
engrossment by a vote of 40 to 6. The
next day came a scene of great interest.

PASSAGE OF TIL. DEPOSIT BILL BY AN OVER
wHELMING VOTE!
1t is with feelings Of the sincerest graft

alton of the Opposite Banks, and the Bis
tribu,ion of the Surplus Revenue. 1t pas
sed the House of Representatives on Tues
day, with some slight amendments in
which the Senate will unquestionably con
cur. One of the amendments restores an
essential provision of Mr. Webster's origin.
al Bill-that was amended out of it in the
Senate. We congratulate the country
upon the event. The passage of this Bill
proves that the shackles of party are bro.
ken. 1t is a fact worthy of especial notice
that the mos,,bitter opponent of the Bill, in
the Senate, was one of Mr.. Van Buren's
Senators from New York-and that of the
thlrty>eight negatives in the House, eighteen
Dere those of The entire Fan Buren dele
gation from The same Stale. Thus the most
obnoxious Bill Of the session the %Incendiary
Publication Bill-was sustained by Mr. Van
Buren, and his friends while the most use
full, necessary and popular Bill has met with
their uncompromising opposition.
The Bill came up IN the House on Tues.
day. On m ton of Mr. Lane, the House
resolved itselfinto a committee ofthe whole
Mr. Sutherland in the chair. Having been
read by the clerk, it was taken up section
by section. Many amendments were moved
by the Van Buren, men with the view of
embarrassing its passage. Mr. Mann, Mr.
Jarvis, Mr. Ripley, Mr. Dromgoole, Mr. Ash
Mr. Pierce, Mr. Gillett-all faithful collar
m~en--moved amendments-and the record
Of them all runs, lost lost--losl! Many
of the amendments were rejected by accIa.
nation. A motion to postpone was lost.
Every effort to get rid of the Bill was a
lame and Notifying failure. The House
had determined to tamper with corruption
and faction no longer-and the Bill was
finally carried, at about nine o'clock, in The
evening, by a triumphant vote of ONE HUN
DRIED AND FIFTY FIVE TO THIRTY EIGHT.
The Bill went back 10 the Senate on
Wednesday. 1t was undoubtedly taken up
Immediately in preference to all other bust
ness-concurred inland before the noon
of that day, was sent to the President for
his signature. The Constitution allows
him ten days for consideration-it must
therefore be returned to the Senate by Sa>
turday next, a week from this day, with the
Presidents signature or his veto.

" Having NJ sincerity themselves, 1.-The Whigs]
'hey cannot conceive that others have any. They
take IL for granted, that every man who is opposed
10 the measures of their party, is a scoundreI or a

The above seems to have been an inference from
what we said last week, when noticing that Mr..
Barber had retired from that paper. We intended
TO have s;von ,hat gentleman his due, considering
the space we then had. But Mr.. Jewett and his
'young gentleman Of talents is not at all suited with
our views Of The subject. This we can't help
Having no sincerity themselves, they cannot con.
ceive that others have any, We suppose this will
apply as well TO Mr.. Jewelt ms TO any one else, so
we need not comment upon that. 'They take it for
granted Sc. We have not said Mr Barber is hall
as bad a man as friend Jcwet would infer. We
believe Mr. Barber has acted an inconsistent part Of
late, with The principles he has heretofore professed.
and cannot, in our opinion, he reconciled with strict
honest principles, however much he may persuade
himself 10 The contrary-Van Burenism and Anti.
masonry have no more affinity than oil and water,
and Messrs. Barber, Jewett, Brainerd & Co, will
find il to be SO in the end, we opine. From these
views and others, we inferred that Mr. Barber was
i~nsincere in his professions, and until we have more
satisfactory light upon the subject I'VE shall continue
Of the same opinion. Have we not a right 10 our
opinion, neishbor Jewelt, without being charged Of
shaving no sincerity'' Pluck The beam out of thine
own eye before thou attemplest to pull The mote oul
Of OILERS!
We are not disposed 10 retort the charge 'hypoc'
rasy' upon Mr. Jewett, but we think he had better
look around him, for it is not impossible but he
may find a ,coy.
Mr. Jewelt seems 10 'amuse' himself considerable,
because the Wings venture to express an opinion
upon The Inconsistency of the seceders from Anti
masonry and who join themselves to Van Buren
just as though a Wing was incapable ofjudging be-
tween right and wrong! Can't a third party judge
as well of the other two, as they themselves 1t is
nonsense 10 contend to The contrary. 1t is only an
evasion to say that the third party have heretofore
been inconsistent, no matter whether that be true
or false.

preparing to send a large army into Texas,
in which event Santa Ana and the prison

May 90, soys that Cos is much hurt with
the bitterness of the language used in the
American newspapers toward Santa Ana
and himself. He also felt the remorso oil

sons visiting Dim to tell him that he had
killed a father, a son, or a brother. He is
