the time that it furnishes food for the reflective
and philosophical mind We hail the work as noble

If we have employed the Intelligencer to

the House did for themselves, from 1888 to
1885, when the democratic majority was
quite as large as it is now.

Green did the printing of the House and

MIR. CALHOUN.

The Washington Correspondent Of Che Boston
Atlas amid other equally wise specnlations, says
II will, however be SO desperate as to hazard the
guess that Rives, with regiment larger or smaller,
will ultimately join the Wings while Richie, with
the greater portion Of the Tory party al his heels,
goes over TO Calhoun and The Loco FOcos." This is
indeed desperate venture-Mr. Rives will neither
ioin the Whigs-nor shall we Join Mr.. Calhoun or
the Loco Focos. Let the Atlas and the Retormer
put themselves at about both these propositions
Mr.. Calhoun has not gained our confidence by bis
recent moves on the chess board however much
he NAV have won on the hearts of some Of our
brethren He is too much Of meaphysician for
us-and he has too much OF the spirit Of Ihemisto-
ces in his composition, to secure our animation -
His late speech in the Senate has been cried up by
his friends 10 the skies-but we will thank them To
tell u.s. how ii comes TO want the Non-commitalism
genius Of Mr. Van Buren's Message-how SO many
persons have been puzzled yet to see from its zig
gag statements and balancing expressions whether
Mr. Calhoun is now or not friend Of the Bank OF
the United Sates-whether he has abjured the I'M
constitutional heresies about il which he formerly
maintained by his acts, and which he now ambi-
guously seems to deny. We would also respectful
" enquire how friend of State Rights can recon-
cie il to himself to saddle the States with peIma-
nent Federal Government paper currency-ai how
political Economist can recommend government
paper inconvertible but receivable for all govern
ment dues-how experience can $50 weli) defer
mine what amount and of what denominations might
be safely issued" the amount Of convertible notes
of well organized and well watched Banks. Strange
to say, Mr. c. does admit, that lin the present con-
dition of the world paper currency in some form,
if not necessary is almost indispensable in financial
and commercial operations, of civilized and extern
sive communities he settles upon Federal
Government paper as being "self regulated and
the best form of paper money But We shall give
his speech--and he shall speak for himself.

THE "DYNAsTYn OF THE GLOBE.

In the conduct Of my newspaper. carefully exclude
all lbelng and personal abuse which is Of late become
so disgscelul to our country .-FrDiklin.
The two bank journals in this city, the NATIONAL
IsTELLioEScER and its tender, the MADIsoslAs, are
alarmed &c.-Giobe, Oct. ?.
WE do not complain of THIS las the
Globe maenanimously said on our being elect
ed Printer to the House-now inyidiously
termed " tehder,") yet we do not think it in
very good taste--though decidedly better, than
designating the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES, as the author o. the letter TO Shcrrod
Williams" How would the courts of Eu-
rope, and the crowned heads Of Asia, have
discovered President Van Buren,, disguised
under the metemphsyc Of such titular
appellation, by the Official Organ ?"
There is no disputing about taste; and
least of all, have we any taste in disputing
about it, with the Globe.
So far from our being !" alarmed at" the" OPT
Mon" Of the Globe, :" that the dynasty Of
banks, great and small, approaches its end, !"
we think there is quite as much reason to in
fer, that the Globe itself was little "alarm-
ed" for the dynasty" Of "the confidence and
favor Of The administration else why should
it have so suddenly resorted 10 /" Johnson and
Walker" to get shrived for peccadillo in a
figure Of philologyl
Fear may be the beginning of wisdom but
though we are neither " alarmed" nor snrpris-
ed nj any 6 opinions" of the Globe we hold
it wise to take warnings, alike from friends or
adversaries. And while we shall, at all times,
heed the wholesome admonitions OF the
Globe and its moral precepts, we hope we
may be excused at all times from following
its example. s.os#

CASE OF GEN. WOOL,

We publish to-day, the defence made by
this gallant officer before the Court of Inquiry,
recently held at Knoxville, together with the
Opinion Of the Court upon the facts presented
The object Of Court of Inquiry is to in
vestigate facts, not to try the case. The
allegations against Gen. Wool, were made by
the Legislature of Alabama, and officially
communicated by Gov. Clay to the Secretary
of War
Cen Wool left the Cherokee country with
multitude Of testimonials from the Indians
as well as the whites, bearing witness to the
honor, and humanity, Of the soldier and the
man.
He whose LIFE is devoted to the service Of
his country, and who looks---jor his only re-
,oard-to that country's appreciation, has at
least right to its opinion and sympathy,
when he has the misfortune to be wrongfully
arranigned, for the conscientious discharge Of
his duty.
