been nearly convulsed by efforts TO break the
mutual dependencies Of all classes oEctlzons
Ito make the laboier regard his employer as
his enemy, and to array the poor against the
rich These Trashy declalmers have ended by
bringing the country into condition where
its whole industry is subject FIR more than it
ever was before, TO the control Of the large ca
pItalists-and where every step tends inevi-
tab'y to make the rich richer, and the POOR
poorer.
1t remains 10 speak Of the remeoy Of these
evils. They follow obviously the causes Of
them. The causes are the iniudicious trans
fers Of the public monies, and the treasury or.
der about specie.
The first measure of relief, therefore, should
be, the instant repeal of the treasury order, re-
quiring specie for lands-the second, the a.
doptOn OF proper system to execute the dis
trihuton law.
These measures would restore confidence in
tweny-four hours and repose, at least, in Is
many days. If the treasury will not adopt
them voluntarily, congress should Immediately
command it,
In the mean time, all forbearance and calm.
ness should be maintained. There is great
reason for anxiety whatever for alarm
and with mutual confidence and courage, the
country may be able TO defend itself against
the government. In that struggle, my own

THE FARMER.

Let monied block-hcads roll in wealth,
Let proud fools strut in state
NV hands, my homestead, and my health,
Place me above the great.
I never fawn, nor fb, nor ian
To please old Mammon's fry
But independence still maintain
Ofall beneath the sky.
Thus Cincinnatus at his plough,
With more true glory shune,
Than Caesar with his laureled brow,
His palace and his throne.
Tumul, pcrpleNity, and care,
Are bold ambitions lot;
But these .niruders never dare
Disturb my peaceful cot.
Blest with fair competence, find
What mona chs never can
Health, and tranquility of mind
Heavens choicest gft to man.

PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE.

The Globe for the last seven years has
been calling upon Wing Senators 10 resign,
on the plea that the popular majnriles in
heir States were against them, and that
they miSrepresented their constituents. In
some instances they have been successful.
Mr.. Sprague, of Maine, gave way 10 the
cIamOr, and resigned his seat. Mr.. Man
gum, of North Carolina, has resigned, and
a Van Buren, majority Of one has elected
Van Buren, Senator in his place. Mr.. Ty-
Ter, Of Virginia, was instructed out OF his
seat, on the same pretencP. Will The Van
Buren, doctors now follow their own pre-
scriptons
II they propose 10 play the part Of hon.
est men, will they call upon Mr.. Morris To
return the trust he has abused, TO the peo-
Of Ohio? For Ohio has given majority
ol 10000 votes against Mr.. Van Buren,.
Will Messrs Senators Hendricks and
Upton obey the voice of the people OF In
diana For Indiana has given n majority
OF 5000 votes against the nominee Of Press
ident Jookeon.
Will Mr. Senator Wall, of New Jersey,
comply with the wishes Of his constituency
as expressed through The ba llot-hox?

action of assumps to recover the sum of Sl95 paid
by New York agent of Mr.. Ludlow, who was at the
time in Mobile TO the defendant for rent of premises

speech of one of the counsel, Mr. Bebee, which was
of the most curous specimens of oratory thatever
fell under our observation. He commenced thus =

" Full many flower is born to blow unseen
Ana waste its sweetness on the desert air."
Gentlemen, this is action of assumpst! The
transition was electrical. The Judge smiled-the

were thrown into extacies. "Oh, what a sweet man."

Nix DIsrRIcr ATTORNEY PnGsIx.-We did not
know till we were told the other day, by Of the
members OF the late Grand Jury, that Mr.. District
Attorney Phoenix did actually and with bona fde in
tentions, present them with anndictment to be found
against us at their last sittings. Wlen the matter
was presented some of the Grand Jurors smiled
They, however took up, read the afidavs made by
Phenix and Others, and then very coolly took vote
and threw him and his Indictment overheard, as
fisherman at the Banks would tainted cod fish.
IL appears that this profound indictment was foun-
ded on some remarks which we had made IN the
Herald on this oficial-probaby the atrecous enor-
nifty of saying that he drew his precedents in practice
from certain Mr.. District Attorney Dogberry OF the
reign of Queen Elizabeth. BE that as II may, Mr..
District Attorney Phnnix did not succeed IN either
of his objccts-he was not even SO successful as his
prototype on Leonnto.
The whole conduct Of this gentleman in re lation
20 this and other matters, unprecedented, that
IN a few days we propose to take II up cody, and
shew that MI. District Attorney Phoenix is utterly
unfit for the situation he fills the score OF temper
on the score Of compeency-on the score OF legal
informalon-and in many other acores which have
not and never will be liqudaed TO the satisfaction OF
all and every human being The great complaints
which have been heard of late concerning the adm-
nstration OF criminal justice in this city, arises not
altogether from the court or the judges. II springs
partly from another source In point Of legal
knowledge, Recorder Riker is without superior IN
the country. He has also great deal Of Judgment
and sound discretion in his general conduct as a
Judge, Notwithstanding all that is said against him.
The evils which have Of late brought forth the nd-
cule Of the whole country on the administration OIL
Justice in New York, arises from an incompetent Dls
trict Attorney, who permits his own personal pas
SONS to regulat te his official conduct
The mode Of selecting jurors by the employees OF
the Sheriff is also beginning 10 create deep indigna-
ton and astonshment in the minds Of the communi-
~. On another day we shall eater into full inves
tiration of the subject and shall put some sharp ques
lions both to the District Attorney and certain un-
der sherifs. We mean to probe ths whole evil to
