we can hardly suppose that there will
be among them any great solicitude to
prop their falling fortunes.
The election in New York is the
death-knell of Mr.. VAN BUREN. He
can never recover from the consterna-
ton which it will strike into the ranks
Of his supporters. There will be no
longer a subservient assembly to re-
echo his DEGREES. There will be no
longer subservient House of Repre-
sentatives to register his edicts. He
can no longer represent the voice of
her People as the voice Of the Banks,
without striking at the popular principle
which is the foundation of our Govern
ment, and from which it derives its
strength and vitality. The great ques-
ton has been submitted to the citizens
of his own State-calmly, deliberately
submitted-aitcr more than a twelve
month Of consultation and reflection
They have had time enough for sober,
second thoughts" and they have rem
dcred an irreversiblc verdict.
This election therefore we cannot but
regard as decisive of the fate of Mr.
VAN BuREN. 1t destroys his power in
its very home. 1t subverts his strength
where he was regarded as most strong
II proves that he is abandoned by his
earliest, his warmcst, and most power
ful friends. 1t shows that he is rejected
by his own state-the state that has
! made him all that he is-and that would
be the last to desert him, as long as
there was any hope that his measures
| could recommend themselves to the
good sense of the people. He has seen
fit to take up with the worship of idols
/ He has deserted the affairs Of the true
| faith, and has bowed down to irreligion,
to radicalism, to the spirit of destruction
| to the dictates Of an unchastened ano
| unhallowcd ambition. lie has sought
to degrade and to enslave the people
and the people have met, defied, ant
overthrow him.
| We call then upon the people every.
where to rejoice with us. We are con-
| querors in a common cause. We arc
victors in fight that has been waget
for common redemption, and that ha:
resulted in a common triumph. The
power Of a corrupt Government has
been prostrated. The House of the
people has been purified. The cabal
that has so long crushed and cursed us
with its tyrannical dominion, is in the
dust, never to rise again. The cause
that has been victorious in the Empire
State will go through the country, con-
quering and to conquer. Nothing cur
stay its march Of victory and triumph
An oppressed and trampled people vii
rise with resistless energy, to vindicat'
their sovereignty, and to avenge them
selves upon their tyrants. Let those
tyrants shrink before the "soBER, SEC.

We derive much pleasure in copying
the following just and complimentary
article, from late number Of the Bal
timore Patriot, on the retirement of the
Hon. ASHER ROBBINS from the U. 5.
Senate. 1t will show in what estima-
ton Mr.. Robbins is held by those who
know him abroad, and that by them at
least, he is far from being considered
superannuated.
RHODE IsLAND-The venerable ASHER
ROBBINS, one Of the United States Senators
from Rhode Island, whose term OF ofhce VIII
expire on the 4th Of March next, having de-
clined a reelection, the two houses OF the
Legislature Of that state have chosen NATHAN
FELLOWS Dixon, to succeed him. Mr.. DIX
ON received a majority of 25 votes out OF 50.
The Providence Journal says:
"Mr DIXON has long been known one Of the most
prominent members Of the Wing party In the southern
part Of IN, state he for many years
In the General Assembly from the town OF Westerly,
and for several sessions Speaker OF the House Ills
election cannot fail to prove highly satisfactory TO the
Wings throughout the state"
While copying with great pleasure the
complimentary notice OF the Senator elect,
we cannot forbear to say a word of the vene-
rable patriot, scholar, and statesman, whose
place he will have the honor tn fill. Mr..
Robbins is the oldest man in Congress; but
his intellect is bright and uncloudcd, and
vigorous as ever. lie is man Of solid and
extensive literary requirements; and the im.
preston made on his mind oy the high and
| delightful studies to which he is devoted, Is
far too deep to be kept out OF view. In the
midst of his Legislative duties and exertions,
many beautiful glimpses may be caught OF
his favorite pursuits. His elevated views-
close and powerful rcasoning-and copious
and rich illustration, all conveyed in the
chaste and simple language that marks the
finished rhetorician, always procure for him
the fixed attention Of the greatest minds in
tho Senate. Repeatedly have Webster,
Clay, Preston, Southard, and other distin-
guished men been seen 10 wheel their chairs
down into the area, when the earnest and
enthusiastic old man spoke, and sit facing
lhim-manfestly solicitous not TO lose word.
Amidst the widespread corruption of the
present tmes-the insolent usurpatlons ol
the men in power-the base and degrading
subservicncy of mercenary partisans-thc
Unsuitable selfishness Of those who have been
thrust into Ofiice-and their continual sacri-
fees Of honor. reputation, principles to the
love of place, it is truly painful! to see passing
off the stage one in whose breast burns a
devotion to the constitution and to his coun-
try, worthy of the best days Of Greek and
Roman virtue-one who never spoke or acted
in public but for the happiness and glory OF
the nation-and whose personal ambition is
only to aspire to honors most worthy Of our
national nature. May the course he has yet
to run be long, happy, and illustrious.

INSTRUCTIONS.

We have repeatedly given our opinion upon
the right of instruction and the duty Of obe-
dience. 1t is not long since that the Globe
and its friends would have agreed with us in
asserting and maintaining this vital princi-
pie of representation. But since a new god
has been found, the ancient doctrines and
practices of Republicanism seem to have faded
from the recollection of many Of those with
whom we have been accustomed TO act, and
the Sub Treasury party seem to recognize
them no more. When John Quincy Adams
declared that the action of representative
was not to be palsied by his constituents, the
administration party were almost unanimous
in their manifestation of horror at such an An
ti-Republican doctrine Now, alas, but few
so poor as do instructions reverence But IL
Others have changed, we have not, cannot
alter our convictions. We regard the doc
trino of instruction as one Of the most " essen
tial principles of Democratic Republicanism,
and we cannot, in our conscience, regard any
man as a Democratic Republican who does
not admit the right Of Instruction and the duty
of obedience Amid the general rccklessness
Of the times, we have observed with great sa-

members Of both Houses Of Congress, by the Presi-

pervaded the multitude, during the performances of
these last sad offices.

THE PLOT AGAINST THE CREDIT
SYSTEM.

The advocates Of the Sub-treasury scheme
may hope to deceive the people with their
repeated declarations, that they are not OPP
posed to the banks and to the credit system !;
but it is an insult to common sense, and it is
sporting with credulty, to attempt, by such
shallow artitice TO conceal the truth and palm
palpable fraud upon the country. Opposi-
tion to the credit system is stamped upon the
face Of all their measures, and il is the burthen
Of their daily song. 1t is not only opposition
that they press, but their latent object is total
orerthroD of the credit system.
This scheme originated with that odious
faction Of primitive loco focos and the disci-
Piles of Fanny Wright, and has gradually
worked its way through the intrigues Of parti-
sans and the ambition Of politicians, until it
dared TO walk abroad under the sanction Of
higher authority, and now claims to be the
legitimate type Of democracy, and the true
policy Of the country.
Who that recol!ects the first essay Of this
faction, and the universal denunciations with
which It was branded, can look upon its sup
porters at this day without feelings of amaze
menti In our estimation, il has lost none Of
its original enormity, by the character Of its
recruits, and the insidious means that have
been practised to give it currency and sue
cess. We view it as the most dangerous
heresy that was ever propagated, alike destruc-
tive Of the morals of society, the stability of
our institutions, and the prosperity Of every
interest calculated to render our country great
and glorious.
The measures that have been resorted to,
to force these principles upon the country,
have occasioned a more widespread ruin than
all the calamites that have ever befallen us.
They have Frustrated a nation from the very
summit Of prosperity and happiness, to the
depths of suffering and actual despair. They
have palsied every arm that was employed in
industry deadened every incentive to enter
prise; stagnated the ocean Of commerce |;
deranged the whole currency of the country,
and poisoned every fountain from which our
benefits and blessings flow.
With these things before us in all their sad
reality, we shall continue to resist this mad
and wicked scheme; and if the signs Of the
times do not greatly deceive us, it is destined,
at no distant day., to signal and recoverable
defeat. The people, in all directions, are open
ing their eyes to their actual condition and
their true interests and the voices we begin
to hear, are but the preludes Of that awful
demonstration of the SOVEREIGN WILL, which,
like the hand writing upon the wall, will make
those who, like Belshazzer and his lords,
"praised their gods Of gold and silrer," trem-
bic for their fate, but unlike that hand writing,
will need no Daniel--no interpreter!
