There is no'hiug wonderful in Procamation
Force Bill, Protest, Van Buren men talking
about The State Rights Principle Of Van Buren,
and protesting to support him because of his
alleged devotion TO the Rights of the 'tates.--
We say there is nothing wonderful in it because
these politicians are 'Einners anl Swimmers"
they are the sworn thrals Of fPowcr, and obc
dient 10 all its dictates. They would cling to
the dispenser OF office, whatever might be his
crimes, and know no abate ncnt in their zeal,
although convinced that he was preCipitatiug
the country into despotsm.
But lis little strange, that any man, should
hesitate for moment TO who appl ecales the
true State Rights doctrines, prefer any hon
est man in the Uniou TO Martin Van Buren,
independently of the many and grevious sins
which this individual committed in his early
career against the State Rights creed, he has
parpetrated, one within The last two years, which
should forever debar him from the countenanco
and support of any strict constructions. We
allude 10 his recommendation Of a Bankrupt
Law to subject the banking Institutions of the
States to The absolute control of the Federal
Executive. Than this, there has not been a
more monarchca ana consolidating scheme ad
vanced since the adoption Of the Constitution.
The Alien and Selition Acts ofthe elder Adams
we're trihes compared to it. At one fell swoop,
if enacted, it would have swept away the re-
manning rights Of the States and brought them
to the iootslooI Of The Federal throne. And
this odious, consolidating measure is not yet

THE CHINESE SYSTEM.

Messrs Editors: noticed in your paper Of
the l6 h instant, an article headed, "The Globe
in Cnina," having reference TO the columns Of
co nmendation recently bestowed upon the f.
nanciul policy ofthe Celestial Empire" by the
Presidents Official organ at Washington. AsI
have seen much of the Chinese in their own
and know something from Information
oo'ained during residence OF considerable du-
ration among them, OF tn r Government, and
The manner in which it is administered, can.
form a pretty fair estimate of the accuracy Of
the Globes statements. They are alike incon-
siStent and untrue.
The Financial policy" Of the Chinese Gov
ernment, as practSed by its oficcrs, is to rob
the people by force or fraud on every possible
OCCASION. The oaice-holderS in the Celestial
Empire" frequently make large presents to the
Emperor; and in order to raise the wind, levy.
contributions On The native merchants, who il
they demur, are accused Of tisrespect to the
Elm pcror, and are either decapi,ate or brown
into Il dungeon to starve. Such is the prati !.
;aI w1rking Of that financial policy which
has elected the warm enco niu ns of the editor
of the Globe, who doubtless looks upon the SUBJ
Treasury as nice n,eringwedge preparato;

Cnnadn.-rhe New Governor General.
Great excitement has been created in Canada by
the appointment Of Mr.. Psulett Thomson 10 the
station Of Governor General This, however, is no
more than might have been expected. The Canadi-
ans seem determined to get up excitement Of
sort; all is quiet the frontier; the sympa-
thisers have been dispersed by General Scott, and
the turbulent and disaffected Of our own citizens
have been brought to their senses by the wise and
pacifcatory measures Of that great man; and there
being no prospect Of commotion from any foreign
source, the Canadians are getting up small domes-
tic row about their new Governor General.
According to the accounts which appear daily in
the leading journals Of Canada, Mr.. Thomson will
be one Of the worst Governors they ever had in the
colony. Abuse has already been literally heaped
upon him. His connection with the house Of Raikes,
Thomson & Co. and through that ho~se, his inter
est in the Baltic timber trade is made principal
charge against him; although the real animosity has
nothing to do with timber tallow. The urnals
say he will prefer Russian tsew to Canadian bears
grease, and Norway frs to Canada pitch pines. His
education, habits, associations and talents all de-
rided and laughed at They say that who has
passed the principal part Of his life with pen be-
hind his ear, is not fit TO be their Governor They
add that they will not have who comes to
them clad, il were, in a suit Of russell; and with
such a name as "Thomson." "Phebus, what a
nams," says one Of the papers :" lie smells Of Rus
STA tallow," adds another. They ask for a proper
display Of pomp and splsndor, and swear they will
not submit TO the government Of any Thomson,
because, they add, there is blood in veins
yet"
That is very true; there is too much blood there /;
some Of II must be let out. The sympathiscrs knew
the Canadian blood getting thick and sluggish,
and wanted to let il out; for which they have sent
two or three ship loads TO Botany Bay. Now il the
at home is wise, they would send al least
dozen ship loads Of these discontented Canadians
to Botany Bay alse; and then the rest might pass
quiet winter. They deserve trans and
hanging for the way that they spoke Of their beaati
ful and amiable little Queen; they deserve IL for
their disregard of her authority and wishes. They
have been dissatisfied with all their Governors time
out of mind; Lord Gossford they said was a fool ;
Lord Durham, traitor; Sir Francis Head, tyrant;
Sir John Coborne, trucker; Sir George Arthur, a
convict keeper; and Mr. Thomson IL worse than
nobody. In short, they like the rogue receiving
nogging; strike high, and they rear; strike low,
and they rail; strike any where and they are dssa
tisfed and we verify believe that if the angel Ga.
briel was TO come from Heaven expressly to govern
them, they would spurn his authority, and say he
was leagucd with Satan.

On Saturday and Sunday, fortnight ago, i spent
nearly two days with my friend James Bennett, Esq,
the proprietor of Arlington House, on Long Island
The above engraving conveys very fair idea Of the
structure. About year ago Mr.. b. began the con-
struction of this house, and is nearly finished
with the exception of the ratings round the basement
and some fixtures of the interior.
This splendid building is "a by 80 feet, with three
fronts two Of which in WHOLE and part Of the third,
visible to the eye. In the two very ex-
tensive green houses. There sixteen columns,
each 30 feet high, of new order called the Coum-
bian, very simple and chaste, without the curvi-
linear character Of the Corinthian order. The total
height of column cap, base, and entablature, is As
feet. In and around this beautiful building $500
feet of cornice there are % finished apartments and
there TO be IS in al-the largest rooms being 20
feet by 80 feet. The Conservatives each SO feet
by Is feet The Withdrawing rooms to be furnish
ed with vsneered doors Of rosewood and mahogany,
and the window and deor trimmings are to be srna-
mental guiding. In the lawn-nve acres in extent
there is excellent equestrian ride, fourth of
mile in circuit in fall view from the portcos. He is
also preparing laboratory, in the basement Of his
green house, for chemical and philosophical expert
ments, and intends to place astronomical tees-
cope in the cupola An organ also will embellish the
house. 1t is enriched with choice library, proba-
bly, worth $4,000. The spiral staircases-see the
wood cut-ascending to the tops Of the trees in the
Lawn, new, curious, and rural. There is wind
mill the place that will raise, by pump, 600 gal
Ions Of water per hour, with cistern containing 100
hog sheads, with a view to form fountain in the
lava.
The characteristic Of this bsiding is q perfect
union Of simplicity, elegance, and comfort. 1t is
bijou in a parterrc. Its internal arrangements
equally unique, and the materials and finish are Of
the highest style Of excellence. The grounds
around laid out with great taste, and at a suf-
cient distance from the high road TO Bath to attract
the attention Of the traveller. We believe il is the
only house Of the style and proportions in the
country. The gardens, ground, orchard, fields and
woodlands reach 100 acres OF rich land.
Altogether Arlington House worthy Of the pro-
prietr. who is the architect and founder Of his own
oruue, and who possesses large share OF the blood,
