"WHEs THE WTcKgD BEAR RULE, the PEOPLE
MouRS."-The Richmond Wing of the 18th inst,
says.-Ifth The truth of this were not vonched by the
highest authority known TO men, 1t would yet be
fully demonstrated by the present condition OF this
country.
If we look to wba. we have been. and TO what we
now arc, we find that wi,hin the lapse of few shoit
wears, we have been preeipitaied from the highest
state Of individual and national prosperity to one IN
all respects directly the reverse. And this melan,
choly change In our condition we have experienced
without war. without famine, and without pest'lence-
The seasons have been pfopitious to the husband
man--thc people have been indastrious-but all 70
no avail. The absence Of positive curses and the
presence of real blessings, are frustrated and neu-
tralized by the domination Of corrupt men, and Their
banef-l and b~lighting interference With ihe con-
Germs Of the people. A believer IN Holy Writ can
scarcely contemplate our condition without The con-
viction that our sufferings are s-itations from or
High for processing TO be a religious and moral
people, and yet tolersting rulers whose whole lives
are in open contempt of he precrpts Of religion,
and in utter violation ofthe canons u morality.

From the New York Courier.

The public will, we think, learn with surprise,
that Messrs. Ruiz and MONTE, of the Island OF
Cuba, who were overpowered by their slaves on
board the Spanish schooner Amistad, and from
whom they were rescued by a U. $. ship of war, at
ter enduring the most horrid tortures-are now
suffering incarceration in the common jeil in this
city.
Yet, it is a fact that they we're a few days ago
both arrested in a civil suit by a process issuing,
one from the Court of Common Pleas, and another
from the Superior Court, on the assumed complain,
of "Fulah, an African Of the Mendi Tribe, and
Singweh. an African Of the Mendi Tribe" for
81 imprisoning, beating, and w~ounding them,' and
the joint damages laid at So, 1000. On which pro.
cess Messrs. RUIZ and Montez are now confined in
Jail.
The Sayages, Ia whose names these suits are in
stituted. are Of course ignorant ofihe whole matter.
A lifetime would not suffice to make them compre-
bend il. The real plaintiffs are the abolitionists,
add the foremost. as usual, among ST them is Mr.
Lewis Tappanl who actually accompanied the
Sheriff. officer, who served the writ, to point out TO
him the persons of the Spanish gentlemen. he OF
course would not lose this opportunity OF adding to
the enyisble notorieiy he already enjoys!

A PoET.-A New York correspondent of the
Troy Wing furnishes the following sketch OF one OF
our best poets.
"There goes a person of middle height, rather
careless ia his dress than otherwise, and 8 shuttle
in his walk, as if slightly lame. His hair is black,
with an occasional tinge of gray over his hne fore
head. His features are regular, and somewhat
classical but you would not take him TO be what
he is-a poet, and a sweet one too. Its Fitz Green
Halleck. In my opinion, Mr.. Halleek is the sweet
est of our native bards-his writings partake OF The
honey. not of the acid. His satire, when he uses
it, cuts; but there is a pleasure even in the wound.
The Harpers have lately published an edition OF
his Fanny, which had been long out Of print, and
il has sold rapidly. Ii is surprising how a poem so
local should have become so famous. The eccen-
trio John Randolph considered it the best Ameri-
can poem ever written. | should. however, rather
be the author of his lines to the memory of Burns,
commencing with wild Rose of Alloway," &C.
than all the rest of his works, it is one of the most
beautiful things in the language--it is perfect
Mr.. Halleck has been for many years chief huan-
cial clerk TO John Jacob Aston, and | believe pos
sesses enough to retire whenever he feels inclined.
In private lie, his conversation is social, witty and
brilliant; his age is on the shady side of forty.

A PoSDERoUs BALAScE.-The Baltimore and
Ohio Rail Road Company have recently had fitted
up at the outer depot, as we noticed a few NOM
ings since, one of Fairbanks Platform Scales, inr-
nished by Messrs. Pratt and Keith, which weighs,
at one drsught, one Of their eight-wheel burthen
cars, filed with plaster, o. sacks of grain or salt!
These cars, be 1t remembered. are constructed in
the form Of a house, with roof, &c., and from 20 to
80 feet in length. The process OF weighing is quite
simpler a two stony brick edihce, which contains
all the apparatus except the PLATFORM mas Deeh
erected alongside Of the rail road over which the
car to be weighed is conveyed and when 1t has
reached the designated point, which is the plat
form forming a section of the rail road itself resting
upon the fulcrum, the car is stopped, and IN the
space of two or three minutes the weight OF the
whole house and its contents is ascertained, wheth-
err from one pound TO twenty thousand pounds, y
matters not, by the same process and with as much
correctness as a grocer ascertains the weight OF a
barrel Of sagar!-LHfoid's Price Current.

MUSICAL CIrY.-The following paragraph from
the Louisiana Advertiser fairly entities New Orleans
to the appellation of a musical city:
The rage for pianos in this city, appears to be on
the increase there is hardly a domicil, no matter
how lowly. from which the music of this instrument
cannot be heard. We often think "female ladies'
deprive themselves of many necessaries--aye, OF
the much desired scarfs and bonnets to procure pi-
auoes! We passed by a dwelling last evening, for
which we would not be inclined to give much more
than four bits at auction, yet it had its piano.

The Editor Of the Huntingdon (Tenn.) Advert
ser cites the annexed lines from Pollock's Course
Of Time as singularly applicable to Henry Clay,
The man, who, in the Senate House,
Watchful, uniired, unbribed, and ancorrupt,
And party only to the common veal,
In virtues awful rage, pleaded for right,
With truth so clear, and ~argumest so strong,
With action so sincere, ani tone 80 loud
And deep, as made the despot quake behind
His ademan, ne gates, and every joint,
In terror, smite his fellow joint relnxed."

Notwithstanding that Mississippi has risen to be
the greatest cottoa-produeing State in the Union,
and notwithstanding the immense profits which her
people must have realized in the sale OF her last
crop, it appears that extreme moneyed distress pre-
walls within her borders, leading to the sacrifice OF
large amounts of valuable property. The editor OF
the Raymond Times says that good plantations,
with every improvement and convenience, such es
houses, gins, and negro cabins, have often been sold
at from two to FIVE dollars per acre. In Madison
county, some superior plantations have been sacri-
feed in the same way.-Bahimore american.

CRUELTY.-We learn from the Philadelphia
World, that a young man, a marine attached to the
navy yard, stayed out ofthe yard a few nights since,
with his wife during the ~night-contrary to the rules
of service. He returned 10 his duty in the morning,
but although il was his first offence, he was punished
by order Of the officer on duty. with eight lashes on
his bare back with the cat!
The rules of discipline should be enforced-but
we verify believe this may be done without such acts
of brutal tyranny as related above. Corporal pun
ishment should not be recognized by the United
States laws.-It is time that this degrading mode
of punishment-this system of ]lort1ring a man in,
to the performance of duty should be abolished
under an enlightened government.-BsstOn JoWr.

When like lambs in the tempest,

To look on thy greatness
And list to its roll;
To think how that heart
In cold ashes shall be,
While the voice of eternity
Rises from thee!
Yes! where are the cities

The WAY 1T WoRKs-The New York Star of
the 10Th instant, says On the arrival in Onon-
daga county, of the Evening Post and New Era
containing the hard money and anti-bank resolutions
passed at the Loco Foco meetings in the several
Wards of this city, the Van Buren, party of that
county felt so much chagrin and modification 1.-THE
extreme radicalism Of their New York brethren,
that they called a public meeting, and denounced
the New York city Loco Focos as Infdels and Agra
rians, for whom the great Van Buren party Of The
State was not responsible. Among other resolu-
tions, they owned their love for Banks and Small
Bills, in the following words:
Resolved, That we are in favor OF a well con-
Quoted system of Banking; and that We utterly ard
distinctly r~epudiate the idea that the democratic
party is opposed thereto and that however much
our opponents In their designs in favor OF a Nation
al Bank pretend that we are so opposed to all
Banks, we maintain that there is no question pend
ing at the ensuing election in any manner involving
the security, or the continuance of well managed
State Banks.
Resoloed, That the question of the issue and the
circulation of Small Bills by the Banks Of this
State, was settled by the Legislature al its last ses-
sion, and in a manner entirely satisfactory.

The New York Loco Focos are in a most beau
tiful state of confusion. We lately annouscad that
Theron Rudd had been kicked out Of the Nep Era
concern, and now we see that Richard Adams
Locke, the remaining editor, has shared his fate.
MIR. Locke gives the following as the reason;
"The publisher has announced, IN the presence
of many witnesses, that Mr.. Jesse Hoyt, the Col
leetcr Of the Customs, and Mr.. Jonathan |. Cod
dingtoa, the Postmaster Of this city, have agreed to
advance him a certain sum of money, upon the con-
dition that Mr.. Prosper NJ. Whctmore and Mr..
John w. Edmonds should contribute the editorial
articles OF the paper. With such politicians the I'M
d~srsigned cannot act, either directly or indirectly"
1t is none of our business, mayhap, how the loco
foeos manage things, but there IL one thing deser-
wing attention in this affair. The collector of the
port and postmaster of the city are boldly in the
market bribing the publishers of a newspaper to do
certain acts to serve their party. Where the mo-
ney cofaes from, is-but we wont hint the govern
ment furnishes it. We viii hear it all after a while.
