Van Buren, has done an unkind thing for
some OF his supporters in this State and
we cannot but comnisserate the awkward
dilemma of the Franklin Journal. That
paper has attempted to justify its unprinci
pied support of Van Buren, by falsely as
sumlng that the issue was between White
and Van Buren, the north and the south
and that as northern men we were bound
to support the latter on the ground of his
opposition 10 slavery, and his peculiar coin
cdence in sentiment with the abolitionists.
1t was shocked at bara possibility that u
man might be elected President who would
sustain slavery az it now exists at the
south and most eloquen,ly has it urged
its readers to avert this dreadful calamity
by voting for Mr.. Van Buren,. Now gen.
tlemen, stand up to the rack, and fyou are
honest ia these sentiments, tell US what you
think of the following explicit avowal oil
Mr.. Van Buren, in his letter of the 9th inst
to the people of N. Carolina. The ilali-
eisng is his own Mark it.
81 prefer that not only you, but all the people oil
the U. States shall now understand, that if the
desire Of that portion Of them which, ia favorable
to eleyalion to the Chief Magistracy, should be
gralifed, must 90 into the Presidential Chair the
in0exlble and uncompromising opponent Of any al
tempt on The part Of Congress TO abolish slavery il
the Dislr pr Colusb4A against the wishes Of the
slayeholdmg states and also with the determine
lion equally decided, to ress, the slightest inter.
ference with the subec, in the States where it ex
lists.
And will the conscientious Journal still
prefer this "northern man, who is thus going
to sustain Northern interests and put dowr
Slavery by" resisting the slghteH interference
with the subject in the States where it exists
'or even in the District of Columbia, D'agains
tho wishes of the Slavcholding States? q
We predict that it will. Having put on III,
collar, it will tamely follow its "NortherT
Leader" and submit 10 "the wishes Of III,
Slave.holding States"
Having thus secured the northern slough

TROUBLE AMONG THE TORIES.

There is as much trouble as ever between
the Monopoly and Anti Monopoly Demo.
Gratis, The .1nties say that the Democra-
CIV Of the Custom House officers and Nor
ming Host party Is all humJug-and that
they do not object in the least to any Mos
nopoIles which they can get into their own
hands. In proof of tins, they cite the East
Boston and Mount Washington monopoles
the East Florida Rail Road, the Opposite
Banks, the Fifty Two Millions Monster
and the monopoly ofo tiices and government
obs which they have enjoyed without any
rotation for the last seven years "Monop
oily in your teeth" say the Antics "we
wish nothing more to do with such Demo
Gratis" Whereupon the Property Demo
Gratis, through their organ the Post, look
savage. and brush up their whlskers, and
talk loud of the rights of property. and say
that the Anti MonopolIsts are all Paupers
and Pickpockets-and that they want 10 make
all mankind as "lazy" as themselves. or ito
burn all their aeighbor'S houses, as a Kind Of
ami monopoly argument"
From The Boston Reiormer.
THE bold, impudent, unbushlng etifon,
terry, exhibited by the Office holders and
their tools at the meeting last night, must
convince all who are not of them, that they
of that tribe are modest aud discreet coun-
sellers !! and honorable men.
And who were they who distinguished
themselves and disgraced the name OF De-
mocracy with such humllating servility,
and such debasng subscrviency.-Who
were ey'-These creatures were, first,
office holders, next their retainers and ex.
pectants, then the dependents upon accom-
modations OF the Democratic Banks"
From the Boston Post.
The real truth is, that according to the
proclaimed principles Of those who call
themselves "anti monopoly Democrats, )"
none bu, pauper or pick pocket Ia quail.

Coop NEWS FROM FLORIDA. WI have
| intelligence that General Clinch, with his
forces, IN all about eight hundred, hal gone
to aid General Games, and effected juno
ton with him. With their united lorces,
amounting to nearly two thousant men,
Gen, Gaines intended crossing the Wihla-
coochle. His boats, floating bridges, &c.
were all prepared. He has four Twelve
Founders, with which to cover his hnding
on the opposite side of the Withlaceuchic
General Gaines has meyer shown to The In.
dams more than two hundred men at one
| time. 10 every instance ofan attack ,wheth-
er by night or day, he was prepared for
them, having anticipated the movements of
| Oseoa. In this way, he made great havoc
among the enemy, having killed teveral
hundred ofthem, His loss, before General
| Clinch Joined him, was only eight killed and
about forty wounded. He had men enough
and only asked for provisions and ammunition.
From some observations made by General
Gaines. the number of Indians is estimated
| at between two and three thousand. They
had made fertilization about four miles
! distant, ofearth and facines, aud surrounded
it with moat. 1t was probaly their strong
hold and contained their women and chill
dren. A severe struggle was anticipated
The report that hostile feeling existed be-
tween General Scott and General Gaines,is
contradicted. They cooperate cordially,
and it was confidently hoped that the war
would be terminated in five or six weeks
Our accounts from General Gaines are to
the 5th Instant Boston Transcript.
An officer of the Georgia volunteers who
marched to Fort King with Gen. Clinch
writes as follows:
To give some idea of the scarcity n,
Fort King will mention that So was paid
for one biscuit, s. per gill for hquor-S2o
per gallon was offered tor liquor and would
have been given readily, | think in one
instance 500 was offered for one gallon.
Money was of no use, grog usurped its place
aud would buy any thing in the eating line.
| offered U. s. soldier % cents for his cup
of coffee, and he would not take i, bu,
would have given it up instantly for drink
Of liquor. The generous fellow divided i,
with me and would not charge cent.

ina,i1ns are received among the people.
Very we'll is the universal reply thus far.
An intelligent un,inason from Roxbury
was asked # he had heard Of any antina-
soDs who had lately gone over to Van Bu-
rem. Not one, was tho answer. Another
friend from Brookiicld lone of the earliest
|antimasons IN the State reports That the
nominations arc well received in that re-
zion. Neither does he know Of a single
instance of detection Every body seems
surprised at the course taken by the mi
nority, but firm determination to adhere
to the old landmarks Of Antimasonry is at
the same time avowed We hear by letter
from several towns IN Orleans and Caledo.
MIA counties, tina, similar spirit prevails in
that quarter. The antlmasonS at the North
comp ain loudly OF the late tiounce OF the
North Star. They will never consent to
be scld out to the Federal Magician. On
the West side ofthe Mountains, Van Buren,
stock, we are assured, is in small demand.
Tho Van Buren, presses, just now are NOISY
enough with their boasts Of anticipated
victory; but the people of Vernon: are too
firmly settled in their principles to be NOV
ed by empty clamor. Vermont and New
Hampshire, according TO our geography,
are two different States. True, we have
vasclllating politicians here, but the mass OF
our people are intelligent, steadfast and
immoveable as our mountains. Especially
and emphaticaly is this true of the Anti.
masonic yeomanry. Antimasonry is based
upon principles, which enter deeply and
fundamentally into the structure of repub-
lican institutions. Those who have honestly
espoused this cause, have done 80 after an
intelligent examination Of the doctrines it
cherishes as vital TO its existence. Such
men are not to be made the cats paws of
demagogues. They are not to
DO guled by newspaper sQuibs, nor by the
mock cry Of monopoly" coming from
the s,urdiest practical monopollsts in the
land. What matters it to an antmason,
whether the supremacy of the laws be in
vaded by Masonry, or by the more open
and bold assaults oflhe national Executive'
We repeat-those who are calculating
upon any change in the political character
Of Vermont, discover but little knowledge
Of the character of the people for intelli-
gence, uprightness and integrity.

The proposition to mar and mutllate the

passages in that Speech, which told with an

RAIL ROADS. The Baltimore papers give
US the details of very important experiment
on the Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road, to test
the power Of new engine in ascending and
descending the inclined planes. The result is
astonishing, and will constitute an era in the
history of Rail Roads. From 60 to 10 feet
has heretofore been considered the extreme
limit; but in this instance weight Of 2 tons
was drawn up plane rising 264 feet TO The
mile. When tho train arrived at the foot Of
the plane, one large and three small cars il
was Intended to remove the passengers into
the large car and ascend with that-but
"What was our surprise, says gentleman
who was present, instead Of coming to halt
to see the whole array, big car and all, shoot
ing up the plane at the rate Of five miles an
hour. Mr. Gwynn, the Engineer, took it into
his head to disobey orders and to push upward
with the emit re train as it was. The frs
plane is 1000 feet long, and considerable
portion of it rises at the rate of POI feet TO the
mile, We went up with great ease. The
next plane is about 5000 feet long. Its ascent
is in one part, ITO feet to the mile-in another
227, and in third part, 264 feet TO the mile
Our progress was steady, vigorous and rapid
until we got within 90 PAGES of the top of the
plane. Here we dropped the three light cars
and had the satisfaction 10 see the engine act
ually start from this position, on the plane Of
264 feet, with all apparent ease, and drag the
large heavy car and its company 10 the top
The burthen borne in the experiment has been
weighed, and amounts 10 &c tons. The cars
detached on the last plane are estimated at 5
tons, leaving q tons as the weight taken over
26i feet elevation in the mile. Tho return
down the planes was exceedingly interesting

SURPLUS REVENUE. The late accounts
from Washington say that the cabinet
have themselves become alarmed at the enor
nous amount of the Surplus revenue and
are devising ways and means 10 dispose of
it,.
Two medes have been suggested. One
is to place large sums at the disposal Of
states, or companies authorized by states,
to make rail roads upon which the United
States mail shall be carried without expense
to the government; and as the plans are, Of
course. 80 extensive as to include every state
in the Union, it follows that the govern
ment would have the influence Of its money
and it's favor, as extensive as its bounty
We see many objections to this scheme,
but it is not now proper to discuss the sub
ject.
The second proposition is to lend TO the
state. pro rata, the whole of the surpous
revenu' without interest, to be returned when
the government, by a war or from other
causes, shall have need therefor. This
measure, we have heard, is proposed and
earnestly advocated by Mr.. Kendall, the
Post Master General 1t appears to US tina,
this ia the best of two plans, and if only
the two are proposed, we should hope that
