O. A curious and ugly charge. impli-
eating the private honesty Of Mr.. Van
Buren, may be seen under the head AS
founding Disclosure 1t is made and
repeated with a confidence that at least
10 oxs very like truth. For ourselves we
wish to see Mr.. Van Buren, lose the Pres
idency. but not his character. and we
sincerely hope be may clear up the trans
action. His defence shall promptly ap-
pear. II was supposed when the charge
first appeared. that Mr.. Butler was the
person alluded to.--RIcH. WIG.
I, o. reformation received at New
Orleans, states that Majors Teal and
Carnss, who were prisoners at Me-

N. X. Era.
The last number of the Arkansas
Times contains the following facts and
comments respecting the late Treasury
Circular: a..
Effects Of the TFsa!ary Circular.
The lands sold at the late land sales
at Poutosoc, Mississippi, brought so per
cent LESS than the same quality of
lands heretofore offered In tina. State |!
On the days of sale, rs Per cent. pre-
MUM was paid for silusrf Such are
the effects Of the Uonderfal Treasury
Circular. This is one way Of reducing
the amount Of dividend or loan to the
States. Another mode to lesson the
amour, that would fall to the share Of
Arkansas is, tina. there are to be no
more land sales by ths Governmen,
until the year Of 1870; consequently,
the Spectator is to get high price for
his land already bought, and he will be
enabled thereby TO accumulate large
sums, to enter the good lands from the
poor man and actual cultivator OF the
soil, whenever the Government shall
again favor the large Spectators in
land. B
Curious Phenon,en ONT 10 said that
If you do pronounce over as fast as you
Gao, ten or a dozen times, the words
"pay the Printers BILL" it will create
a most pleasurable sensa,ion under the
ribs, near the pocket regions, which is
an infallible cure for the heart burn.
1t is worth trying any how.
MIR. John s. Ss!inson, the Van Buren,
elector who has entered The college,
was burnt in sffigy, in Frederick, on
Monday evening last. Van Buren, men
who are disposed conscientiously and
honestly to think for themselves, may
see by this how they are TO be awed
into obedience by their factious leaders.
