out cOnnnen


This great man has not scut big figure
in the Senate this session. Our last Le-
gislature instructed our Senators to vote
for repeal Of the Specie Circular. As
soon, however, as the Sub-Treasury pro-
iect was started, he (Walker) became
jealous champion oft, and cried lusti-
ly for Divorce of Bank and Government.
By,speech, he attempted to thwartthe real
ization Of the wishes of the people ofthis
State, in advocating the reception ofnoth-
ing but gold and silver by the General
Government. And what lis the finale of
the gentleman's action upon this subject?
When the resolution for the repeal of this
Circular, comes up, Mr.. Walker happens
to be sick. This is an easy method Of shuf-
fling off responsibility, and violating in
structions, by getting sick. Should either
of our Senators vote for the Sub-Treasury
Bill, they ciOlate erpress instructions. The
Sub-Treasury is nothing but an extension
Of the principles of the Specie Circular,
to all the dues to the General Govern
ment, and by voting for the Sub-Treasury,
they of course vote for continuation Of
the Specie Circular. The democracy
have sung anthems over the inpioIdbitity
of instructions, and let us see if they will
cling to their avowed doctrines. We will
see whether they love Party more, or
principle less. As for Mr.. Walker, we
place no confidence in him. After he had
gorged himself by land speculation, and
piled up an immense fortune, by wringing
from labor its hard earnings; he had the
unblushing effrontery to speak of friend.
ship for squatters and emigrants, and de-
nounce the Land Speculator. After be.
coming possessed of his thousands of a.
cres of Land, he claims merit for his at
tempts to check the career of speculation;
which very check upon speculation he
knew, would enhance the price Of his own
land, and enablehim to realize more e.
normous fortune. From the most sordid
views, has he been so ud.mouthed on this
subject.
Again, this same Mr.. Walker, not
|
many years since, while practicing at
torney in Natchez, from the same selfish,
pecuniary motive, come very near SWind-
ling one Of our most respectable citizens
out Of the sum ofabout $4,000. He was
detected in his villany, and the note depos-
tied in his hands for collection, taken from
him. We shall as soon as we can, pro-
cure full statement of the case and lay
it before the public. We invite the atten-
ton Of our readers to the publication of
L. X. Clifton, which will be found in our
to-day's paper. G.

BEAuTlFuL CONSISTENCY.

1t will be recollected that the House OF
Representatives, decided last September,
that Claiborne and Gholson, under the Ju-
ly election, ,Oere members of the 25th Con-
greSs. In December last Prentiss and
Word went on TO Congress, exposed the
absurdity ofthe decision of the House, and
forthwith that ,oiSe body declared that
Claiborne and Gholson were not members
of the 25M Congress. Again, that same
body upon democratic" deliberation,
decided that Prentiss and Word, ,Dere not
entitled to their seats as members of the 25th
Congress, under the November election.
The other day Prentiss and Word, return
ed to Congress, with the same certificates,
that they received under the November
election, demanded their seats upon those
certificates, and, anon, the same august
and digniGed body, declared, without
dissenting voice, that they WERE entitled to
their seats as members of the 25th Congress.
We present this as precieHr morceau of
Van Buren consistency, and leave it with
out comment. G.
Liberty advocate., 1838-06-23

All we ask is fair field: truth is NIGH
ty, it will prevail.-Planter,
What fairer field could men want, than
the one opened to before them at present.
Out of 26 States, the Democracy have 6
left. Now if 90 States do not constitute q
field fair enough, and wide enough, for the
Slubberdegullion to spend its power in,
we mistake very much the capacity Of
that sheet.

Now, we were always told that Dem
ocrats loved economy, and by reference to
the above list it will be seen what is
meant by Democratic economy. 1t means,
as their acts demonstrate, nothing else,
but the extravaganza of a spendthrift, or
the thoughtless prodigality Of a swinder
with his pockets filled TO overhowing with
other peoples money. Let the hard work
ing man reflect upon the above salaries,
and ask himself in what particular items
dwell their claims TO economy? Let him
ask himself, how many years hard labor
will yield him as much as these bloated
anti-Bank, Democrats receive for the short
space Of a year? "Earn thy bread by the
sweat of thy brow" has been the watch
word Of the Party, for some time past; and
yet we behold them now gorging them
selves with the most enormous salaries
"Dewn with the Banks, monopolies, &c.
has been gittering upon the Loco-Aag in
every quarter of the Union; but so soon as
the golden lure fell upon their vision, SO
soon as an opportunity appeared of tatten-
ing themselves out ofthe vaults of Bank,
their avarce banished their patriotism,
they struck their colours,- ,--and are now
roting in the excesses Of shameful prod
igality, and reaping fortunes out of those
very institutions they so loudly reprobate.
The Democrats are endowed with a sur
prising capacity for getting into fat Offices
Their mouths also have peculiar power
Of swelling the echo and reverberation Of
those numberless curses against Banks
that receive utterance therein; but their
hands and pockets possess such an aston
ishing aptitude for seizing and receiving
the "spoils" of those institutions, that their
curses fall powerless beneath their almost
supernatural endowments Of their modest
ly Democratic hands and pockets. We
have remarkable instance of the digni-
fed attributes Of democratic hands and
pockets, illustrated by the Columbus re-
ceiver. He was one of that clan that
preached up economy, and the corrupting
effects of the officers Of the General Gov.
ernment, and specializing out of the public
moneys. This Democrat, however, be-
came possessed of a large amount of mo
ney; and, in spite Of his stern political in
tegrity, moved, seduced, and instigated BY
the wonderful capacities of his pocket anC
hands, he inVolHntarily seized an immense
amount Of the peoples money. and is now
de(aulter to the tune of $60,000. Gen
ius of Boyd! Thou almost persuadest
me, TO be Democrat!
But to the subject. We regret sincere
ly that such extravagant salaries have
been affixed to the offices of the Union
Bank. We hear many complaints, and
many ofour best planters will have moth
ing to do with an institution governed by
such loose doctrines of Economy. We
can only say, that we are sorry TO see ii,
and give the same advice that we have
