Litchfield enquirer., 1837-03-02

Mir. Rives disclaimed MT. CalhOun's opln- ions as the opinions of the South. MT. Wright yindicated N. York-his bill, and MT. Van Buren at length. His speech was interrupt ed by man who was seized with a fit in the gallery.
 Both branches of Congress will now hold night sessions, it is probable, to the day of ad- iournment. H.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. IT, l937
 The Inaugural of Mir. Van Burcn begins now to be the topic of conversation in the po- litical circles. What are we to have? Of course we learn nothing as yet of what is to be said, but what we are to have they who know MT. Van Buren can readily judge.- The great aim of MT. V. Bs. administration will be to strengthen the machinery of his own party, and to buy off what recreant Wings he can. Hence he will be very nsikt-Gnd-cG- terish with us We shall be "all Federalists, and all Republicans There will be bit ofhoney for the West here, and sugar tit for the South there. The North will get noth- ing but the Deposite Banks and the govern ment funds there to buy up men with. The Loafers" who have so long hung about the White House, and retailed scandal to make Gen. Jackson furious, have now had their day. The Kitchen Cabinet will pass no more cosey evenings in arm chairs, looking in Gen. Jackson's face. MT. Van Buren loves the la dies more than pipes. Van nBuren will be the Gentleme,'s President. Silas Wright will now do the work that is done by the Editor of the Globe. This will be a bettering of thingsin one respect, but making of things worse nthe other. have always liked the old Romans more than the young ones. The Tarquins were likelier set than the tribe that began with a Tiberius and continued in a Heliogabalus. All the loafers Van Buren will have around him will be genteel. The hungry, ravenous, ragged set that came here to Washington eight years ago, whom Gen. Jackson has been feeding, and giving old clothes to, must take up their line of march when he strides offto the Hermitage. Ches- terfield will fireside in the East Room. The old Irish gentleman from Killarney will have his congee, and some Parisian Pirouetter will stand at the front door. But Van Buren has a difficult part to act. The city is already haunted by Fourth -of-March office-hunting ghosts-not so lean to be sure as those whom Isaac Hill led in 1928, but not so fat as they might be, nevertheless. "Clear out," the outs say-and "keep in," say the ins. am for the ins. They will not disappoint the people anew. But how this matter is to be met, it is not for me to say. VanBuren. how inaugural will be as calm as a summers day.
 
 son made eight years ago. We arc to have new times now-but no better times though. Gen. Jackson has thundered. Van Buren will wheedle Gen. Jackson has driven.- Van Buren will coax. Gen. Jackson has frightened his party into subjection. Van Buren will use the screw and the bribe. The iron age is over. The golden age is to come. This is to be the new order of things. The one was tyranny. The other is to be cor ruption. love the tyrant best. Caesar was a great man. Tiberius pitiful rascal.
 When Gen. Jackson on the 4th of March leaves Washington, these truths should stare him in the face in blazing capitals through every village which he passes on his way to the Hermitage:
 |" You began your experiment in 1929. You found the nation soah the best currency ID the aDorld, considering the ertem of its territory.- Ihe experiment promised us better one. You hare tripzed the Bank capital of the country in- stead of reducing t. You hare .frighfuUy de- ranged our domestic exchanges. You houe en- hanced the price of a1 the necessaries o life 'ohich the poor man, must haue You leaue us aoith the lcorst currency on earth, aud in 1e poaoer o usu- rers and ertortioners. These are the fruits cflhe great measures of you,r administration. Think Of them in the HermitGgc."
 On the Cumberland Road there is a monu IilCllL llCIly Sld} SlCeit PiOlCCtOi. A monument with the above inscription in honor of Gen. Jackson, might operate as a warning to future tinkers on the currency. B. IeraS.-It is currently rumored that Col. Almonte, acting in his diplomatic character as commissioner on the part of Mexico, to ad- just the boundaries between that country and the United States, agreed that the Rio Grande shall be the line of denarkation hereafter; and that he has written to this effect to some of the citizens of New Orleans. Conditions are of course annexed to this cession of claimed or disputed territory, such as that Mexico shall receive certain consideration for war expenses and territorial losses. It is also stated that Santa Anna has unqualifiedly given his assent to the boundary treaty, and has promised to procure its ratification by the Mexican Congress and authorities. If this report be true as, currently rumor- | cd, Texas would at once become part of the United Sates, and there would be no neces- sity for any further action on the part of our government, as to the recognition of its inde- pendence, or its annexation to the United 1 StateS.-N.

 Late from Fzorida-We received a slip last night from the office ofthe Savannah Repub- lcan contradicting the report that Oseola had been taken, and giving us the following au- thent intelligence.

A few days after there was another affair in which some Indi- ans were killed, also, two whites and fifty kn1-x AL I,E
