THE YANKEES.

It is not good principle to encour-
age our countrymcn in their national
self-csteem, like that Of the inhabi-
tants of the mother country, is far from
being agreeable to foreigne The
example Of the French is, in this res
pect, worthy Of our imitation than that
of the English. If you 60 among the
French, or they come among ourselves,
you hear them making no disagreea-
BILE comparisons between our manners
and institutions and theirs. Isthe subject
to be introduced in conversation, they
politely enumerate all the advantageous
points in our government and national
character, and what little they utter in
praise Of :heir own country, is said in
such manner as not to wound the ma
tional pride oi the Americans. John
Bull on the other hand, cannot encoun-
ter an American without getting into
an angry dispute with him about the
comparative merits Of their respective
governments and people. In this res
pect John Bull and brother Jonathan
are just alike. Both Of them are pos
ssssed of.that national pride which il

sad to be a re narkab'e trait il the
character Of the Chinese. They are
peculiarly disagreeable to one another,
as two self conceited cpxcom!,s, when
they happen to meet, hate one another
worse than they are hated by any other
individuals.
The modest man can endure man!-
festations Of self esteem in others, with.
great deal more tranquility than a
proud man. 1t is sometimes said
that the bluntness of the English
and Americans in this respect, when
compared with the politeness Of the
French, is proof of the greater
sincerity of the former. For the same
reasons we ought to call all the polite
ness hypocrisy, and rudness sincerity.
This difference ought rather to be attri-
buted to the greater liberality of mind
IN the French character. The French
have not ouly more politeness, but more
philosophical candor than the English
and Americans. They have more Of
that mental quality which distinguish
es civilized people from barbarians
and philosophers from bigots. In
many other points, it may be readily
granted, that the French are excelled
both by the English and Americans.
If, instead Of initiating France in all
her absurd refnements Of fashion, as
we are accustomed to do, we were to
initiate her in the liberality Of her
speech and writings which we are not
accustomed to do, our national charac-
ter would be vastly improved. At
present so far as we can be said to imi-
tate tn: English I'd the French, we
select for our imitation the most ridi-
culous points in their national character.

General Jackson sent the following SEN
timent to Philadelphia on the 4th, in reply
to an invitation to join in a celebration
there:
" The Constitution Of the United States
What it does not authorize is forbidden
TO those who act under il. A constitutional
right to apply, and necessity for such ap-
p!ication, are the true sources and limits of
the power to tax. When the taxes produce
more money than can be rightfully applied
the appropriate remedy is reduction or re-
peal. To continue a tax without necessity,
and for the sake of distribution, is to sub
vert the principles of the constitution, and
must end in destroying the liberties of the
people"
The Hon. Levi Woodbury., sent the fol-
lowing sentiment:

REVENUE CUTTER VIGILANT.

The citizens of this town, of all grades
and of all parties, were, on Saturday after
noon last, overjoyed at the purport of re-
port, which was circulated for truth and
generally believed, that the Revenue Cut
ter Nigilant was ordered to proceed forth
with to the coast Mexco--Not that the Cut
ter itself had become obnoxious to the clfi-
Zens of this town and vicinity--no, no, she
is favorite Of the people and always has
been, and would continue to be so, had she
for her commander a gentleman and sea-
man, who understood his business and
would attend to it, instead of an intriguing
craven, who has by cringing and fawning
and wheedling in manner the most syco-
phantic and parasitical, and by duplicity
and hypocricy, wormed himself into tie
good graces, we are sorry to say it, of hon
orabe and upright men, and by their infu-
lencc and his own misrepresentation to the
,, Department, has succeeded already il
breaking and running one captain, far hi,
superior in every attainment useful anC
= honorable to man, and in etiecting the re.
moval of two others in succession from the
! command, whose qualifications for the sta.
r ton were unquestionable, while their mora
p conduct stands forth in bold relief in com
p parison with his. We verify believe tina

Tennessee Volunteers.-A letter from
Knoxville, published in the Charleston
Courier, says
seen. Wool, of the United States army
who had been here for some days past, bus
lily engaged il organizing body of twenty
FIVE hundred volunteers, who have been
raised in this State, and who are to assem-
bic at Athens in this State, left here yester-
day for that point, where the men will be
received into the service of the United
States. Their term of service is for one
year--a sufficient time, it is to be hoped, to
put an end to Indian hostiIties with both
the Greeks and Seminoles. The ulterior
object of large portion of those volunteers,
is said to be Texas, where they will go, as
soon as their services to the United States
can be dispensed with. Upwards Of one
half of these volunteers will be mounted

habtants of this region"

That Mcssrs. Robbins and Knight botl
voted in diametrical opposition to the we'll
known sentiments of the people Of this state
not even Ellery Robbins will be foolish
enough to deny. That they have again, in
Icontrayention to the dictates Of their own
Judgments and to the honest promptngs oi
their consciences, if any they have, pursued
the arbitrary and intoIerant and uncom-
promising course of voting with their party
right or wrong, is too apparent to be
deemed questionable. That they have
suffered their intriguing and knavish lea
ders to impose the shackles of an odious po-
litical discipline upon them, their votes on
this question, and the vote of Mr.. Robbins
on the proposition to reduce the n aDpropria-
tions for Notifications one half and their
course of conduct in the Senate generally,
is evidence positive of the fact. They must
bow down submissively to the mandates of
the leaders of the tratorous faction of the
Senate, with whom party is all and the
common veal nothing, or incur their awful
which they have not the moral
courage to abide. From men like these
God grant our state n safe deliverance.

A Whole Hog AbOltiopists. A men,
ber of Amherst College has lately gone
home with singular companion.-The
gentleman has been in tile habit of" paying
attention" to a colored woman associatng
and sitting up' until three in the morning 9
With her. On sudden, he quilted college
and actually rode away in company with
the blackamoor to his fathers house in
Ashburnham, in this State. 1t is supposed
that his attachment will continue undated,
as he is a mad aboltionist, insisting always
upon the equality Of the blacks with the
whiIes- advocating amalgation, and openly
boas,ing of his refined taste. lie was q
member of the Sophomore Class, is about
twenty three years old, and his name is
Raymond. His conduct has excited disgust
allied to the piety we feel for loathsome
reptile. We are not informed whether or
not the faculty of Amherst have e1pelcd
him-we believe they have not. He is a
member of The College Church, and we sup
pose will yet pursue his original design of
preparing for the pulpit Pearl

Richard n. Robinson.-The cloak which
was found in the yard adjoining the house
Of Rosina Townsend, on the morning OF
the murder Of Ellen Jewett, has been proved
beyond n doubt to have been Robinson's.
Nr. Oatmau, a respectable tradesman in
Broadway, has exhibited in his day book
the charge against r. =. Robinson for maxi
ing the identical cloak, and the journeyman
who made it, has identified i, by the singu-
lar fact that the cape was cut the wrong
way Of the nap.
The Rhode-Island Republican. [volume] (Newport, R.I.) 1809-1841, 1836-07-27

There is truth in the following paragraph
from the New York Journal of Public Nor
ais -
"Had Robinson been condemned, an in.
mense public sympathy would have been
excited in his favor, aud the baseness of his
profligate course comparatively overlooked
in the pity, that one so young and so prom
ising shonld be brought to an gnominious
death. As it is, that public sympathy in
favor does not exist, and he is remembered,
not with pity, but with indignation and scorn
and his name is coupled with infamy. More
is probably accomplished for the cause of
public morals, by his acquittal, than would
have been by his conviction"
