cation, we have received numerous remi,tan-
ces from our rustic brethren; but the oldest
specimen Of country currency that we have yet
seen, reached US yesterday through the post
Office. 1t was contained in large package,
done mp in straw paper. We burst open The
envelope, and unrolled till we came to the Sc.
cond---then there was a .hird---then fourth
but the hardness Of the package convinced Us
that i. was not all paper. till at length, after
taking off about one dozen envelopes, out came
a huge, old, warn.out, rundown, dirty, NASH
ed-up boot, containing newspaper, from the
Office of one Of our brethren in Mississippi,
with this note-.-"Please exchange, and give
us credit for the boot
Well.--the currency Of mississippi, as every
body knows, is long way below par--.but we
had no idea that it had got down to sucl, q
low footing. We Have no complaint, howev-

got boot; and our brother at Holley Springs
shall have the Picayune, in consideration Of

tenance Of the grand fundamental principles
upon which our happy government was estab-
II he'd. and upon which, alone, it can be per-
petuated.
In a local point Of view. the above remark
has peculiar applicability TO this NORTHWESTERN
portion oil Illinois: here, for nearly two years
past, the Democracy have been cast into the
back ground, villfieJ. abused, and slundered
by the opposition, AMI no organ at hand t:.ro'
which retribnive justice could l,s sought.
TO contribute, therefore, to the Moderation
Of our present political situation. though tee.

jecis Of the Democrat.
For The promotion Of education, and the df-
fusion Of useful knowledge, the arts and sci
rnces, and whatever will contribute 10 tho
greatest good # the grea, number. the Demo-
crat will go as Tar as he who will go far,hest.
Religious controversy, personal vitnpera-
ton and abuse, will find no favor with the De-
,nocrat.

on an extra imperial sheet, once week, at

by some, be supposed TO be an evidence Of an

Mn. D1pDLE's RESPECT FOR THE Laws.

Mn. D1DDLE's RESPECT FOR TIE LAWS.
When SOCRATES was in prison I'M
der sentence of death, his friend urged
him strongly to make his escape, and
offered to furnish him with the means
Of doing it safely. He replied that no
personal consideration should induce
him to violate law of his country,
even though he might individually be-
lieve it to be an unwise or unjust one.
Mr. B1DDLE does not seem to enter
tain quite so much respect for the law
as the wisest Of the Athenians. In an
article which appeared some time since
in the National Gazctt, and was copied
into this paper, defending the reissue
Of the notes Of the old United States
Bank, Mr.. BlDDLE, or his apologist,
remarks that the old notes were, in the
first instance, re-issued in order to save
the time required for signing new ones,
but that sssince the practice has been
denounced by the President, it will be
hereafter continued for the additional
reason ofrebuking this insolent attempt
Of Mr.. VAN BUaEN 10 interfere i'll the
administration Of our State institution"
1t might perhaps be a question, 10
which OF the high belIiserent parties,
the President OF the United States or
the President Of the Bank, the charge
o. nsolence would more properly APP
ply: but let that pass.
In subsequent defence Of the same
practice, Of re-issuing the notes of the
old bank, which appeared in another
PhilldeIphiapaper, and was immediate
ly called forth by Mr.. GRuNDY's re-
port to the Senate, the Money King
coolly remarks that there is mo posi-
biAfy ofu doubt about the Legality
ofihis practice. The opinions Of the
President Of the United States, and
the Secretary Of tho Treasury, with
the report ola committee OF the Senate,
Of course, go for nothing. But, says
the article, Mr.. BlDDLE, when he has
fairly wound up the concerns Of the
old bank, will probably discontinue
re-issuing its notes, providea-mark
this provision, gentle reader! for it is
not a little Unsupported Con-
gress siaY puss no haa0 to prohibit
him from SO doing; but If Congress
shall pass any ln,u To thal effect, then
Mr.. Biddke lUiH continue the prac-
tice, IN ORDER TO SHOW HIS
CONTEMPT FOR THE GOVERN
MENT AND LAWS OF THE
COUNTRY.
SOCRATES suffered death, rather than
defeat, by any act Of his own, the opera
ton of law which he knew, as APP
piled to him, to be unjust. Mr.. BID
DIE violates his legal obligations as
trustee Of the old bank, by his own
account, in order to save little tins;
and publicly declares that, if all other
motives for 50 doing should cease, he
will continue to violate these obliga-
tons, provided that he can thereby
have the opportunity Of showing his
contempt for the Government and laws
OF his country.
SOCRATES is generally acknowledge
cd to have been the wiscst and best OF
the Athcnians. Is it probable that
NICHOLAS BIDpLE will be generally
acknowledged hereafter to have been
the wiscst and best Of the citizens oil
the United States? We think not.

MIR. CLAY.

.-= NIX. CLAY.
1t is evident to every one who has
paid any attention to the cou,se Of this
honorable gentlman, since the COM
mencemcnt Of the present session OF
Congress, that he is industriously en-
gagged in qualifying himself for no.
mination to the presidency by the Ma
tional Convention Of call the decency"
party. His savage dcnunciation ofthc
hardy and cnterprising western settlers
the farmers and mechanics Of the
old States, who emigrate to the new
Territories and States, in order to pro-
vide homes and competence for their
rising families. indicate plainly 10
what portion Of the American public
he is DESTROYS Of attaching himself.
These settlers Clay denounced in a
speech against the bill granting pre-
emption rights to actual settlers, as
"public robbers" s.thieves," "pilfcrers
of the public treasury" &c. He doubt
less suppose that this insult offered TO
the ssbone and muscle Of the country,
would be particularly pleasing to the
bank nobility whose favors he would
propitiate.
Our readers will find by an article
ia another column, that he has given
still stronger evidence Of his fitness to
receive the 'sdecency nominations" the
language used by the honorable Henry
Clay on the occasion referred to, is
truly characteristic of the feeling Of
the party to which he belongs, towards
the working men Of the country. Wise
should watch the Kentucky statesman
closely, or he may find himself robbed
ofhis distinguished celebrity for utter
ing coarser and more disgusting black
guardism than any other man in Con-
gross Pittsburgh Manufacturer.
The State Of Pennsylvania has dis,
bursed for the construction Of Canals

and dollars. In the last year these
