 | The loudest in ihe cry of moderation
 frequently run to the greatest extremes. The most intolerent men are often the
 most fierce for toleraii0n.
 l The strongest advocates for peace are
 apt to advocate it with violence. The most neutral men arc usually the
 most one-sided in thoir preferences, and in their acts. The greates. siicklers for liberty of con. science, are those who gre most anxious to compel all men to think with themselves. The keenest observers of notes in the eyes of others, are those whose vision is ob- strucicd by beam in their own.
 When there is an ulceratsA4 part. in the body of any church or community, they
 who would be most benefited by its re-
 moval, are the most reluctant to have it

1 The following is reIated as dialogue be- tween drunkard and his wife; it is in per- feet accordance with the unreasonableneSS of drunkards in general.
 "I say Molly, what have you got for din- ner !" "I told you this morning, we had nothing in the house." 70, well, let me take the baby, and you pick up something" "So you told me this morning, but there's roth ing to pick up." 90 pick up some bread and potatoes, Molly, pick up something.',- But Mir.

BeGutiful Ertruct.--A thousand years hence (for I must indulge few thoughts) perhaps in less, America may be what Eu- rope is now. The innocence of her charac- ter that won the hearts of all nations m her favor, may sound like a romance, and her inimitable virtue as if it had never been.- The ruins of that liberty for which thousands bled, may just furnish materials for village tale or extort sigh from rustic sensibility, while the fashionables of that day enveloped in dissipation, shall deride the principles and deny the fact.
 When we contemplate the fall of empires, and the extinction of the nations of the an- cient world, we see but little more to excite our regret than mouldering ruins of pompous palaces, magnificent monuments, lofty pyra- mids and walls, and towers of the most cost ly workmanship; but when the empire ot America shall fall, the subject for contempla- tive sorrow will be infinitely greater than crumbling marble or brass can inspire. It will not then be said here rose Babel of lm- mense height, or there palace of sumptuous extravagance; but here O! painful thought! the no6lest work of human wisdom-the grandest scene of human glory-the fair cause of freedom, rose and fell
 Horrid Rencontre.-By the steamer Robt Morris, Capt. Massic, from Louisville, we learn that a fatal rencontre took place at wood yard above Matches, on Sunday eve- ming last. A difficulty arose between Cap tain Grossly, of the steamboat Galenian, and one of his deck passengers. Capt. C; drew Bowie knife, and made pass at the throat of the passenger, which failed to do any harm, and the Captain then ordered him to leave his boat. The man went on board to get his baggage, and the Captain immediately sought the cabin for a pistol. As the passenger was about leaving the boat, the Captain presented a pistol to his breast, which snapped. In, stanly the enraged and wronged individua! seized Captain Grossly by the throat, and brought him to the ground, when he drew dirk, and stabbed him eight or nine times m the breast, each blow driving the weapon in- to his body up to the hilt. The Captain ex- pired in a few minutes. The passenger was arrested, carried to Matches, tried and acqult- ted. What melancholy commentary upon the use of deadly weapons !--Mobile Paper.

The rerenue-the surplus. Less thar two
years-yea, less than eight months ago-there
was a surplus Of thiriy.seten millions in the
treasury. BY the faithful exertions OF the
Wings, aided by some Of the administration
party, who on one occasion, at least,
spurned the collar, tho distribution bill was
passed, and that immense sum was distributed
to the people. Vermont has received most Of
her share, and we venture 10 say That this a.
lenc has saved her from much distress which
otherwise must have been suffered We have
been enabled TO purchase our flour and get a.

IC59Will some of our Van Buren, friends
inform us what is the price of wool this season.

We think The object OF the office holders in
forcing upon the people an exclusive hard mo-

of their salaries. They have succeeded so we !
in acquiring Executive and official power, that
they are now determined 20 have The pccuniary
means Of supporting their increased conse-
quence. So, Instead Of asking to have their
salaries raised, they design TO effect the object
without asking, by bringing about state Of
things which will enable them to make one dol

Mr. Boyd, (Admin.) In that District, a
Wing (Mr CamphelD has been elected, tho
there were two Wing candidates running

Kentucky thus presents an undivided

Congress, nine only of the thirteen were

In INDANA-Ra'lif Boon, the remaining
representative of Gen. Jackson in this state
is defeated, and a Wing elected in his
place.
Indiana also, therefore, has chosen an en-.
tire Wing representation in Congress.
The majority against Mr. Lane Che late
administration representative from this
state) was l,078 votes.
There is some doubt whether Campbell

district. The accounts agree, however, that
Boyd is defeated.

This is too good to be lost Jackson and BEN

we find Jackson, Van Buren, aud Wright for
hard money for the ofIice-h RS, and paper for
the people-or, in other words, they are for The

we don't see but what the Patriot has done ii
thus far, and will do it hereafter; it was erciu-
