and in so great a number Of instances in all paris
of the country where the cotton manufacture is
carried on 10 any extent, by men who began rithont

they had TO pay heavy interest, prove TO my mind
that the average rate of net produce In any period
of five years since the cotton trade rose INTO conse-

this day. But what was far worse, as though
conscious that party hatred and personal and
party predictions swsyed you in your remo-
walls from, and nominations TO, office, you from
an early day manifested a bashfulness quite
out of character in you, in asking the advice
and consent OF the Senate to said nomina-
tons. But perhaps, after all, it was not bash
tulness perhaps it was contempt Of the SEN
ate perhaps you thought what some noisy
anarchist Of your party, proclaimed aloud, to
wit, that the Senate was an excrescence upon
the Constitution and ought to be nulified. 1t
is, at any rate, matter of record that you did
habtualIy refrain from submitting 10 the Sem
ate until near the close Of the session, nomin-
atoms to Offices which you had actually filled
during the last recess Of that body. This, sir,
was unusual and though no violation of the
letter Of the Constitution, it was n practice
which its trainers never could have intended
to authorize.
You did in many instances iorboar to nom
mate TO important offices which were actually
vacant for weeks and even months during the
sitting of the Senate, and then filled them i'm
mediately on it's adjournment, under that clause
of the Constitution hich authorizes the Pres
ident to fill vacancies during the recess of the
Senate. This was palpable evasion of the
letter, and as clearly violation Of the spirit
of that instrument.
You have in one instance, at least, reap.
pointed to the same office Immediately on the
adjournment of the Senate, an individual whom
you had appointed during its recess and whom
that body had Just rejected. II would be ridi.
culous to call this mere evasion Of the Con.
stitution, it was an outrageous violation OF that
once sacred instrument. Otherwise the clause
which requires the advice and consent Of the
Senate, in filling certain officers, is mere nnl.
lily, because on your principle President oil
the United States may fill every office in the
gift Of the General Government, and retain
the incumbents in their Offices during the whole
term Of his own Executiveship, with the ex-
ception OF one day in each year, without the
Senates concurrng in single appointment

THE LATE ADMINISTRATlON-EX-
PRESIDENT JACKSON.

PRESIDENT JACKSON.
No oae of our readers certainly will suspect
lis Of any admiration for the administration
which expired on the Sd OF March instant, nor
of desire to curry favor from the one which
has just commenced its existence, when we
roy that we publish the article following these
remarks not without some feelings Of reluc-
lance nor will the author OF it, we trust, mis-
apprehend the nature Of the reluctance. In
word, President Jackson, that was, ia now An
dreW Jackson simply-a private citizen. As a
man, we desire to harbor no i'll will towards
him; we would give all credit for whatever
good he has performed; and extend charity
literally over his errors. We think now, and
have thought, that more of the odium, richly
due the late adninisiat altos, belonged to his adj
visers, high and low, than to Andrew Jackson
more, perhaps, TO Mr.. Van Buren, than to
him. Jack son has been made the tool of 9TH
ers: possessing, we believe, honest and patri-
otto motives in the main, yet he has been goa-
died on y the ambitious and crafty men around
him, 10 madnoss-his passions and prejudces
have been made to usurp the place of patriot
ism and reason, and the result is just such an
one as was to be expected his administration
b has been reckless one-his course, as its
head, has been rash, Inconsistent and iniur-
Gus 10 the country. We do not suppose that
. he is to be screened from oil odium he has
already incurred much, and the reader Of The
letters Of "Thrasy bulus," if he is not already
an avowcd udmrcr of the late President, will
hardly find reason to be so. A reluctance to
incur even the suspicion Of wishing useessly
10 modest The rest Of the " dend lion" has eli
cited these remark. At tile same time we
feel that it is not merely proper, but necessary,
TO recapitulate the course OF the administra-
g lion Tor the last eight years. By so doing, the
people are but learning lessons from past cx-
perlenee, from which they may profit for the
future; and if the whole history of that adj
mlnlstralion-not only every act in the main
parts Of the drama, bat the by. playe, and the
scenes behind the curtains-could be revealed
10 the people Of the United States, we believe
they would be taught salutary lesson which
would lead them hereafter to wres, the dest-
MES OF the country from the hands of heart
less demagogue5. We say, then to "Thras-
ybulus,' 90 on You have no small acqnan.
lance with the political history of the country,
and We are confident that you may use your
pen to sornc good end.

iDhNI OF THE UNITED STATES.

,Music.-The Arabs follow their cameis
singing; aad' the harder they sing the swift
er the animals travel; il they stop the cam.
ell also stops. The natives Of the East were
accustomed 10 set out on long voyages ru
the sound Of music. Plato supposed that It
would scarcely be possible 10 change HE
fashion of music in country, wiihoutalief:-
ing the government. The natienafaifs df
the Swiss and TIT" Scotch produce power

tries when they are a distance from home.

slaves are mostly in the possession Of veal
thy Turks. The coucubine slaves in the
houses ofEgyptans ofthe higher and mid
die classes are generally Abytsinians. of
deep brown, or bronze complexion. In
their features as well as their compilations,
they appear an intermediate race between
the negroes and white people but The diff
ference between them and either Of the a e
bove mentioned races is considerable. They
themselves, however, think that they differ
so little from the white people, that they
cannot be persuaded 10 act as servants, with

Picked Bed Bugs.-The Bangor Far
mer states that a strong solution of salt
water, will kill bed bugs, and advizes house
keepers, who are SO unfortunate as to be
troubled with these visitors, 10 apply this
pickle to their carcasses. The same pickle
we doubt not, will kill an ox, if he is thro-
lightly immersed in sufficient quantity;
but the question is, whether il is not about
as well TO serve the bed bugs as you do the
beei-kllI them first, and salt them do,cn

Apple Tress.-A 'horticuturist in 3D.
hernia has beautiful plantation Of the hest

is 10 take shoots from the ehoisest sorts, in
sert them in pota,oe, and plunge both info
the ground, leaving but an inch or two OF
the sprout above The surface. The pota-
toe nourishes the shoot, while il pushes out
roots, and the shoot gradually springs up
and becomes a beautiful tree, bearing the

had escaped injury at which admission
Oceola greatly juyed. II seems that Pow
ell has little daughter to whom Lieut., G
was very kind and had presented with
lrotks, in which the young girl, who grew
very fond Of him, always insisted on being
dressed whenever she perceived Lieut.. G..
Cor whom she often looked out, y coming 10
visit her. Oceola's motive in sparing
Lieut.. G. was gratitude for attention TO his
child, which he also enGeavOred to repay
by teaching the Lieut.. The Indian Ian
guage, for he spoke little English, and IL
very intelligent.
Powell has two wives, as is common with
the Indians, but they are rarely trigamists.
His ttoo better halves live in perfect harmo-
ny, having one table in common, but occn-
pying seperate "lodges." They are both
young and comely one Of them is particu-
larlt pretty. They yield passive obedi-
ence to his vigorous intellect, and express
sions which pdrtake the character OF his
mind.-His words are lew, but opposite.
At the concusi ion of the talk. | have
skelched his lofty mein aud manly bear
ing.
His address is courteous and aiFa bic, and
his smile is wtchery. Like most Indians,
he is fond ola joke, the opinion that sava-
ges are always grave being erroneous.
His shake of the hand, like every thing
from him, leaves lasting impression; and
if here be not Uice in his fingers, he has n
uicious way Of using them. Oceola is
greatly ambitious, and like other indians,
revengul, the ler talionis heading their
bloody code. So that his conduct, like that
of more civilized men, is made up OF mixed
motives, h. wing just enough OF the salt of
patriotism 10 preserve Il e character from tile
faint Of corrupling selfshness.

(Fron, The German If KrummGohsr
An dead and silent was the earth,
In dcencst night it lay,
The Eternal spake Creations word,
And called TO bong, Day.
Chor. 7, streamed from on high,
All reddenins and bright,
And angels songs wecomd
The newborn light.
-sod spake the murmurng waters fled
They left their deep reposo;
Wide over arching heavens blue vault
The armament arose.
Cher. Now sparkles above
Heavens glorious blue,
1t sends to the earth
The light and the dew.
God snake: he badc the waves divide
The earth uprears her head;
From hill, from rock, the gushing streams
In bubblng torrents spread.
Clior. The earth rested quiet,
And, poised in the air,
And heavens blue bosom
Lay naked and bare.
God spakc: the hills and plains put on
Their robe of freshest greens
Dark forests in the valleys wave,
And budding trees are seen.
Cior. The word of his breath
Clothes the forest with leaves,
The high gift of beauty
The spring-tide receives.
God spake and on the new-dress'd earth
Soft smiled the glowing Sun,
Then full Of JOY he sprang aloft,
His heavenly course 10 run.
Chor. Loud shouted the stars
AS they shone in the sky
The Moon with mild aspect
Ascended on high.
God spake: the waters TEEN with life,
The tenants ofthe flood,
The many coor'd winged birds
Dart quickly thro' the woods.
Chor. High rushes the cagl
On fiery wings,
Low hid in the valley
The nightingale sings.
God spake: the lion, steer, and horse
Spring from the moisten'd clay,
while round the breast of mother Garth
Bees hum, and lambkns play.
Chor. They give life to the mountain,
They swarm Oh the plain,
Put their eyes fxd on earth
hlust forever remain.
God spaRe: he lOok'd on earth and heaven
With mild and gracious eye;
In his own image man he made,
And gave him dignity.

Man raised his head, he spoke:
