The numerous writers in the newspapers Of
the Van Buren, party continually repeat the
old and stale charges against the Wings, that
they are federalists, aristocrats, bank men, the
friends of exclusive privileges, monopolists, en-
emies to equal rights and universal freedom,
sc. &c. Nothing can be more false. Can
any intelligent and candid man of the execu-
tive party believe that the Wings, now unde-
niably the majority of the people, can be enc
mics to their o,cn equal rights, or friends to
those who would wish to establish an aristoc-
racy over themselves, in common with their
fellow citizens of the minorityl Does not ev-
cry one know that the great mass of the peo-
pie, without distinction of party, the majority
of the majority, as well as the majority of the
minority, are farmers, mechanics, manufacture
ers, laborers, literally "working men," and
hard workers too, who cannot possibly wish to
work for that which %profteth them not, but
only tends to create a mass of " nabobs," and
convert their own goodly heritages into 'lord-
shipsF"-Or will the minority pretend that
they alone understand the operation of politi-
cal machinery, and that the majority of Whip
farmers and laborers are so ignorant that they
really think they are working to promote theiI
W interest, in common with that of their
country, when in fact they are laboring only
for the benefit of the " silk stocking gentry
and to swell the Golfers of the "dynasty of as
sociated wealth 2" If the Van Buren, mem,
do really make such lofty pretensions to excIu-
sive sagacity and knowledge, we "working
men" need scarcely ask their pardon for saying
to them, as Job said to his proud and pompous
friends, " No doubt but ye are the people, ana
r'sdom shall die Nth you."-No.-It cannot

ents entertain such ridiculous notions. lie

II is astonishing to see what a game the
Wings and the Banks are playing. They are
carrying all the elections, and unless something
can be done to arrest them, there will not be a
single Loco Foco state at the next Presidential
election. The Banks hare bought up nine

Corn IN MIssouRI-The crops in this
State, says the Cincinnati Republican, are
yielding an unusually large product this
season, according to the various accounts
received lromtbere. The Boonsville Emf
grant states that a gentleman residing in
Boon county, planted fifty acres, from which
he will get from five to six hundred barrels
OF Corn-say from fifteen to eighteen hun.
bred bushels.-This is an average OF 80 to
"a bushels per acre.

The Democrat of last week in noticing a
new political paper to be issued in Boston,
called "The Thorn" intended to uphold the
sinking cause of Loco Focoism, says, =
"Mr Greene is one of the most pointed wri-
tiers of the day, and the "Thorn'' it is presum-
ed will be a sharp one. IL must be amusing
at least, to observe the contortions of the wings
under the infections of this troublesome wea-
pom"
II seems from the following notice In the
Boston Courier, that the wings think there are
other things as pointed as the "Thorn." 'Ii
must be amusing to Observer the scratchings
of the Loco Focos "under the infections OF this
troublesome weapon the "Nette." They
will be scarcely less nettled by this new Federal
machine than they have been by the Banks
Undoubtedly Biddle is at the bottom of this,
and has "bought" up the editor Of the Courier
to issue this new paper. How numerically the
old monster continues to nettie the poor Locos'

THE STATE PRINTING.

In the House Of Delegates OH Friday,

tee appointed in the early part of the

the printing of the State by contract,
made report by bill. The preamble

ner, points out the evils resulting from
the election Of a public printer before
the House, the political bearing which
has always been given to the canvass

The bill provides that the Clerk OF

vance the interests Of the State. He is
not confined to the lowest bidder but
in case he select one bidding higher than
another, he is required to state to the
House the grounds upon which he made
such selection.
The bill was read first and second
time and committed. The general prin-
ciPles Of the bill seem to find favor IN the
House. Yet there were exceptions ia
Ken to making the Clerk the contractor
Tor the House, as it was urged his Office
would then be made political and Judge
May thought he foresaw that if the bill
should pass in its present form. the
House would not have so good a Clerk
os they had heretofore. He suggested
that the Executive should make the e..
lection with the proposals before him.
and should direct the Clerk whom to
contract with. This point of who shall
examine the proposals of applicants and
make al election. will be the most diff
cult 10 settle. We rather think the bill
will pass with its main feature Of put
ting out the printing by contradictions.
