THE ASSAULT ON THE NAVY.

The Globe has denied las was chargedl
that Mr. Kendall was the author Of the attack
on the Navy and its officers. 1t also denies
that, some one pointed out by the National
Gazette, wrote it, and submitted it to Mr..
Paulding, who revised it, &c. &c. The
editor of the Globe never has admitted, nor
do we believe he ever will do so, that he is
the author Of the articles; that he wrote them
Neitherhas the Globe denied that Mr. Paulding
himself, was the writer of the articles, or that
they were published by his request or autho-
rization nor do we believe he ever will do so.
1t would be much better to unfold the truth at
once to the world. Let it be known who the
slanderer is, that he may be held up to that
execration he so fully deserves. Sooner or
later, he must come forth. Justice to those
who have been slandered calls for it. Pub
lie opinion, to which all must bow in due SUBJ
mission will compel it.

ACCURACY OF FINANCIAL ESTIMATES.

We find il stated by contemporary, and rather
with sheer, that when the Engineer Of the Lon
don and Birmingham Rail Road gave in his esti-
mate, he put down the Kilsby tunnel at 10000, or
about $35O,OOO The actual cost was f350000 or
81, 10000"
There is nothing so very remarkable in this. We
can offer an example ourselves Of error Of similar
character; which, tho not so great; yet, when rs
high official station is taken into consideration may
be viewed as of not less importance. 1t is fact,
that the present Secretary Of the Treasury has erred
in each of his annual estimates, laid before Con-
gress, from five to twentyodd million dollarsl Some
times above and sometimes below the actual re-
ceipts!
Who can wonder after this, that the national f.
nances are in state of arrangement and disorder
Yet, the authors Of, or those connected with these
bunderings, have the hardihood TO charge all the
disasters which have befaen the country, growing
out of them, upon the banksl

cannot fail to make an impression on the minds Of
all persons In this county who are personally and
politically attached 10 the late Secretary, and who
have been accustomed 10 regard him as man Justly
entitled to their respect well for his talents as his
virtues
The writer, in conclusion remarks:
Where was the necessity Of this stab upon his
character In dasiardlike manner aiier he had leI,
the seat of government Mr.. Van Buren,, Il would
seem, was not content with leading the Secretary 10
the door Of the white house. but before II is slammed
too upon his back, he must needs give him parting
kick-and let me ask the Democrats OF Morris
County how they like such treatment TO one OF their
fayorite sons How do you like such malignant
and esuitical attacks on his official character which
hold him up in high capacity TO condemnation and
contempt, by praisng his good nature and agreeable
mannersl
Gratitude on the part Of Mr.. Van Buren,
We do not believe he knows what the term
imports, by any feeling Of his own that he
has ever possessed. Where is there any in
stance of his having eyinced it I! We are not
aware Of single one. Mr.. Van Buren, is
man who has lived for self alone: and If he
ever took man by the hand, it was to use him
for his own purposes. and when he could be
Of no further service to him, then to cast him
off, Selfshness has been the most prominen.
feature in the whole political life Of Mr.. Van
Buren,.
OF General jackson, il was truly said, that
he never abandoned friend, and that was
the reason he had SO many. OF Mr.. Van
Buren,, the contrary may be said, he never ad-
hered 10 friend and that is the reason he
has so few. Like Governor Dickerson, those
who were his friends he casts of, and then
permits them to be insulted and abused after
wards.

THE ASSAULT ON OUR NAVY REITERATED.
The Hartford Times, under the control Of
that very personifcation of Loco ocoism, Mr..
Senator Niles, says:
"The Wing papers are very much dissatisfied
with the remarks OF the Globe, although they cannot
deny their justice. But the truth is, the vagabond
officers, the shirks almost without exception,
Wing electoneerers. Instead Of being abroad upon
The deep, they are longing at hotels and boarding
houses, abusing the administration But letthere be
correcion,-the good of all parties and the country
requires IT,"
contemporary justly remarks:
"This is worse than the Globes Bilingsgate. We
shall get al the author by and bye. A creature who
could utter such sentiments must be below all con-
tempt. The Navy will understand that they are de-
nounced because they cannot swallow Van Buren,
ism. If there is body of gallant men free from
all reproach Of meddling in party warfare il is our
Navy" ,u. .".

HANNIBAL CROSSING THE ALPS.
Another day has dawn'd. The sun once more,
Slowly ascending in the clouded sky,
Now casts his feeble rays upon scene
OF gloom and desolation. Winter reigns
In all his terrors clad. The lofty Alps
Are cover'd DER with snow, and in the wales
The streams are bound in icy letters fast.
With slow and painful step, climbing the steep,
An Army now appears. Despair, or rage,
On evry face, save one alone, IS seen.
Midst universal dread there Is heart
That knows no fear--there Is an eye that beams
Yet bright with hope, and still undaunsed views
The dreary landscape
- HANNIBAL had sworn
Eternal enmiiy to naughty ROME.
Then, why should dread possess his heart, or grief
Dim has bright eyes, when now so near the foel
IT'S but to pass the proudiy-swelling Alps,
And then, to rush, resisless, down the wales
OF fair Ilalia and devastate,
with FIRE and sword, whate'er before him lies:
Though rugged be the way--though giant rocks
Though cold, and ice, and snow may all oppose,
Yet, what is there Ambition cannot do?
Or, what is there Revenge will not o'ercome2
See HAssrBAL still cheers his soldiers ons-
They leap from rock to rock-they now descend,
With slow and cautious steps, the darksome cave;
And wearied, once again the ice-clad height
They climb
Twice seven times the wintry sun
Had run his daily course, since he, the Chief
or Carthage, with his army first began
To scale the Alps. Again that sun approachd
It's sitting the mountains were not passed.
Thousands of Braves had persisted by the cold,
Or, impotent, had sunk upon the rocks,
And died amidst the overwhelming snow!
But now,
The last steep height is passd, and as scene
or beauty and of verdure meets the view,
| Hark to the shouts Of gladness that arise
Italia! Italia!

DUCHESS COUNTY, N. ", DEMOCRA-
TIC REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.

DUTCHESS COUNTY, N. ", DEMOCRA-
TIC REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.
We publish to-day the proceedings Of the
Duchess County Convention, together with
the Address adopted by that body.
The Poughkeepsie Journal says:
The County Convention held at the Village Hall in
this town OH Monday evening, was one OF the most
numerous and respectable that we have have ever at
tended The numbers present variousy estimated
at from Ave seven hundred large proportion Of
whom were old and consistent Democrats who have
wintered and summesd in the party, and batted with
its enemies for quarter of century. II is with no
ordinary pride that point to tho officers Of the
ing, and TO the other names mentioned in the proceed
ngs, among the shining lights Of the Democracy of
Duchess-men who deseryedly rank among the pures..
most consistent and influential Of the party.
The names appended to the following Ad-
dress, furnishes evidence Of the old Republi-
can character, and some Of the individuals
who composed the Convention:
TO THE DEMOCRATIC REPUBLICANS OF
THE COUNTY OF DUCHESS
You will recognize in the undersigned some Of the
oldest and most jealous fellow aborers in the support
Of Jackson and Van Buren,. It has been our in
tention to maintain Democratic Republican principles
Such is still design. We deem the measures
commended and urged BY Mr. Van Buren, subversive Of
those principles. Among these, the Sub-Treasury
stands most prominent. We had hoped, after its re-
peaed rejection by Congress, and its decided condem-
nation by the people, it would have been abandoned by
the administration, and that the party would have been
permitted to act again in harmonious concert, But we
have been most egregously disappointed In the ad-
dress published by the friends Of the Executive at the
close Of the late session Of Congress- the Treasury
is still insisted and persevered in, the settled
policy Of the administration To this the Globe, the
official organ, adds the prohibition Of small notes under
twenty dollars, part Of that policy This is the
issue which has been made up for the approaching
test. We meet the issue thus tendered-and we dis
tnctly declare that will support for any Office
the ensuing election unless he unequvocaly OPP
posed to the SubTreasury and in favor Of the
ditonal repeal Of the law prohibiting the circulation of
small bills.
To produce union and concert Of action we recon-
mend, that State Convention be held to consider of
the proper persons TO be supported for Governor and
Lieutenant Governor; and invite the cooperation
OF those Democratic Republicans who think do,
and who determined TO preserve the ancient and
honored principles Of the party.

THE LATE SECRETARY OF THE NAVY.
A correspondent Of the Jerseyman, in re-
senting the assault made on Governor DECKER
son, late Secretary Of the Navy, remarks:
Such an attack from any other source would never
be noticed or deemed worthy Of a remark, it is so
common thing in the heal Of party spirit to decry
public men. But coming in semi-oficial form,
from the organ of the Genera Government, and
bearing with il the sanction and approval OF the Pre-
siden the friends of the exSecretary in this county
cannot but view with deep chagrin and dismay, the
ingratitude Of such conduct lsay ingratitnde, for
there is no individual who exerled himself more to
elevate the present Chief Magistrate, and am bold
to say no one contributed more But great men have
short memories. The President, perhaps, has for
gotten that il mainly through the great popuar
ty OF Governor Dickerson that New Jersey has al
most always BEEN during his time, Democratic
State. He has likely forgotten too, that Governor
DickerSon was prominent candidate for the Presi.
dency and that he publicly resigned his claims and
pretensons in favor Of Mr.. Van Buren,, thus throw
ing all the weight and influence of himself and
friends into the other scale. That he should now be
shuilled of in such contemptuous manner and
with such apparent malignity Is a curious and sim
guar circumstance in the history of the times, and
