SELF CoNpEMNATIoN.-MR VAN buren,,
while member Of the United States SEN
ate delivered a speech against Executive
power, IN which occurs the following pas
sage Language more directly applicable
to, and more severely conlemning the poll
cy of Gen. Jacason's Administration, and
his own, and the party that has sustained
them, could not easily be found. HI
says:-
1.-THE Tories Of England strive by all
the means within their reach, 10 increase
the dominion and influence of the Throne,
at the expense Of the COMMONS and
THE PEOPLE and the Wings TO coun-
teract the eyertions OF The adversaries, by
| abridging that dominion and influence, oil
the advancement Of the rights and the con-
scquent amelioration Of the People. The
Tory principle, seeking to absorb as lar as
is practicable ALL POWER from its legi-
innate sources, and to condense il into
Single Head; the Wings tho Antagonist
principle, laboring assiduousIy 10 resist the
encrodchmentsa and limitthe ertent OF EXEC
| UTIVE AUTHORITY.-T former is
essentially the MoNARCHLAL, and the latter
the DEMocRATIcAL spirit OF society"

RcH AND THE PooR.-ProIessor Hare
concludes an article Oh the causes OF the
present pecuniary embarrassments, and the
remedy thereof, published in the PennsY
vana Sentinel, with the following excel
lent sentiment -
Never was an error more pernicious,
than that of supposng that any separation
could be practicable between the interest OF
the rich and thepworking classes. How
ever selfish may be the disposiiion'.of the
rich, they cannot benefit themselves with
out serving the laborer. Let the rich pro-
prieor improve his land, let him build
houses. or ships he must employ the poor
And while it is thus certain that the rich
cannot serve themselves without serving
the laborer, it is evident that whenever the
rich are injured, the laboring classes are
DESTROYS of having the prosperity oll the
country restored, e. they must sanction all
measures tending 10 reins,aie our CONNER
ca credit, without which the wealthy will
be impoverished and the needy be rem
dered still more necessitous.
LAcoNIc.-A few morning since, an en-
plover observing one Of his workmen stag
gerng about his work, accos,ed him with
"Nhat is the matter, Sam" "Noih-
nothing, sir, only Pm loaded - "You're
discharged. them" was the reply.--"Then
off course, must go off," rejoned Sam,
and off he went.
STRAY WIFE-The Wheeling Times de-
clnes publishing mans advertisement for
his runaway wife, in the following spirited
style:-
'Sohie man hos e0 memorandum on
our desk requesting us TO advertise his vile,
as having left his bed and board. " e
shall not do il. In ninety nine cases IN a
} hundred, where such advertisements are re-
CURED, the husband is at fault, and adver-
tises his wife from mean spirit of revenge
tor iancicd injury. In most such cases he
provides no bed for her, and none but the
ditch Tor himself: ard as to his board, to
the shame OF a civilized land be it said, it
is ollen piece ofboard laid upon the back
and shoulders.
From TExAs.-We find the following in
the New Orleans Herald OF the 18th in
siant:-
'Thc following extracts, Of letter re-
ceived yesterday FROM this new republic,
will be found interesting. We do not
| vouch for their authenticity, but publish
3 them just as received. From numerous
, rumors yesterday, received in town, we
l gather that here is some plot on foot a.
gainst Houston. A generous opposition
would do him or Texas no harm, but in
irigue or corruption we hope never 10 see
in this new & fertile country: the extracts
spoken of are as follows -
"There is a strong and deep laid opposi-
ton beginning to be manifested against
President Houston, and the purpose has
been openly avowed to impeach him. That
, the attempt will be made however, think
0 doubtful .-There has lately issued from
the press here pamphlet, in which he is
severely hahdleu, quite s'rippeu OF his Iau-
rels received Jacinto, and displayed, as
t | think, in his true characieEol-bu M
matter; the pamphlet shews him to be no;
fit for nor deserving Of the office which he
holds.
The city Of Houston, il is said, is falling
, faster Than it has risen-thai goods are SCI
