The Je,eei Of Consisieney.-At a gathering of the
Regency troops the capitol in Albany, Tuesday
evening, the first resolution adopted compmented
President Van Buren, :" for his firm and unwavering
devotion to dem ,crac principles" The Albany Daily
Advertiser thus truly illustrates his unoareng career
"He has been for and against the war--for and
against De Witt Clinton-for and against James Mad
son-for and against the Federasts--ior and against
the Democrats-for and against Daniel d. Tompkins-
for and against the Erie canalfpr and against Rufus
king-for and against the Tarf-for and against the
Cumberland Road-for and against the United States
Bank-for and against universal suffrage-for and
against Andrew Jackson, Presdent-for and against
the bankrupt law, which he recommended Congress
and what is extraordinary for and against his own
great leading measure of the Sub-treasury policy"

" One Of the most cheering conse-
quences growing out the late triumph, is the
certainty that the Wings will now have it in
their power to re-elect Mr.. TALLMADGE to
the Senate of the United States. This event
will be as gratifying to every man who desires
to see devoted patriotism and high-minded
courage rewarded, as it will be Notifying to
the unprincipled Members Of an Adminstra-
ton which he has done so much towards pros
trating. We have not conversed with any
Wing, stree the election, who has not referred
with pride to the fact, that it will now be in
our power to return Mr.. TALLMADGE to the
Senate Of the Union. Nobly has he "bearded
the Lion in his den," and richly is he entitled
to the gratitude and confidence Of his fellow
citizens York Courier.

Labor TO make Uatch.--Mr. Dent, in a lecture
delivered before the London Royal Institute made
an alluson to the formation of watch, and stated
that a watch consists OF 992 pieces and that 80

making one Of these little machines The iron OF

the common price of 2S. Cd. each, f9i6 5s-the
effect of labor alone. Thus may be seen that the
mere labor bestowed upon one tarthing's worth of
iron, gives il the value of E9iG 5s. or about 452
dollars which is 77,7S0 times its original value.

N. P. TALLMADGE,

First and alone made, and throwed himself
into the imminent, deadly breach. N. p.
TALLMADGE made the first assault on that
formidable, despotic, daring, sacrilegions hsnd,
ferrfemper MS deadly paleness, his choked ut
terance, his immoveably fixed determined
countenance. We remember the audible but
hurried remark Of Calhoun, when all eyes were
fixed in silent doubt. SIT is the pent up
struggling fire OF Vesuvus," said he,'. it will
burst upon US presently" We remember the
the bold, defying establishment of the giant
Benton, and the quailing, cringing, shrinking
of the I" meaner beasts" when it did burst
And long shall we remember the torrent
of patriot eloquence poured out when
the suppressed utterance found VENT
We remember at the close, the whisperings
of the little group Of the banded despots.-
" What do you think of it." " We have lost
Tallmadge." 80 no, Mr.. Van Buren, will
bring him back" I" But did you not mark the
deadly fxedness of his eye on our grsat cham
plon during his whole speech Did yuu not
mark determined war in that eye?" 40, Mr..
Van Buren, and Mr. Wright will put him
straight again
From that day to this, the patriot spirit has
never fautered. In the Senate and in the
closet, in motion or quiescent, the fixed deter
miued purpose of his mind has never for
moment faultered d" will save my country
| will save the republic, or will perish"
And most religously has he redeemed his
pledge.---N Y. Times.

The extensive and growing interest Of

nal or paper so exclusively devoted to lit
erature and science, advocating the doc
trine of no party.
Feeling the necessity of such n paper,
the Jefferson College and Washington Lv-
ceam have commenced the publication Of
a periodical entitled "THE SOUTH-WES-
TERN JOURNAL" to be devoted to lit
erature and science, and all subjects inter
esting to the general reader.
