Iington, Bunker Hill, Saratoga and York.
town, this day tell Of their deeds Of noble
daring, while fighting for the rights offree-
men. A Despot now rules these United
States. Though stable boy in his youth,
he has risen from that low degree to be the
President Of twenty millions Of People
and so far as his practice ia government
is concerned, the old adage is verified
put a 6eggar on horseback and he ,ciH
ride tO--Ssc.V From a republican in his
youth, he has become a federalist,-nay
n1onarchist, in his more mature age; and
while the people are groaning and suffering
under the blasting and whitening effects of
his administration, he taunts and viIli6es
therl,-~the too confding people, who
elevated him TO office, and who expected
better things of him. Hehas determined that,
the sub-treasury scheme shall become the
law Of the land, and shall continue q law
+" in spite Of The lamentations Of HE people.R
Thus he has declared, This ''sub.heasury
scheme" as it always has been entitled,
we opine, is not so well understood as il
ought TO be, and by way of showing that
it is the same plan adopted by Lord North,
the prime minister of George the third of
England, to enslave the American Colo
mes we make a little explanation of it.
Ist. Iron Chests and fre-proot buildings
are to be prepared in various sections of
the Union at the expense of tie PEOPLE.
ID. Nothing is TO be received for duties
on foreign goods, for public lands, or for
any thing by which revenue is to be deriv-
ed by government, but gold and silver.
Sd. That treasurers, sub-treasurers, and
host of officers, scattered throughout the
country, shall be appointed by the King ;
President, we mean,--to take care of
these strong boxes in which is to be depos-
ed the gold and silver. of the country.
4th. That the people must make cur.
rency for themselves, without the assist
ance of government.
9th. That aHPubhc officers shall receive
gold and silver fortheir services, while the
voters Of the country are to do as well as
they can with n-plosters and deprecated
bank NOES.
These are the Identical TEXTURES o. the
measure that George the third and Lord
North established TO enslave the American
Colonies, and which led to the glorious
Revolution in which our independence was
achieved. lrany of the spirit that ANNA
ted our forefathers in that struggle remains
with us, Martin Van Buren, and his hosts
of office-holders will be made to bite the
dust, and the people of the United States,
will, in 1910, cast off the iron shackles
which now enslave them.

MR.. CLAY.

The reception of this distinguished states

and other places, was pre-eminenty ehthusi-
astic and flattering. Thousands, and thousands
untold, joined in professions, to welcome the

Times happily designates Mr.. Clay; for as
such he was receivedin every city, village and
hamlet that he passed through. His reception
in the city Of New-York has been half told,
only-words are inadequate to express it. In
Philadelphia, his reception was no less enthu-
siastic. In both cities the ships, steamers and
other craft, which line their wharfs, all dis
played the gorgeous flag Of our country, in
honor Of the Great Statesman of Kentucky
The very air seemed tiuctured with the hues
of thestars and stripes. In Baltimore nothing
could prevent the outbreak of popular enthusi-

try. We regret to perceive, however, that
England and France cannot agree as to
the conduct of Ibrahim Pacha, and that "a
collision is likely to ensue in consequence.
The following from the New Orleans Bull
letin, will, perhaps give the re ader some
insight into the difficulty:
OF The New York Journal Of Com
merce mentions a rumor that Admiral
Stopford, of the British fleet in the Levant,
despatched the Vanguard, line of battle
ship, for the purpose of reasoning with the
Captain Pacha on his-treachery, (which is
approved of by France,) and that the
squadron of the Sultan opened a broadside
and sunk her. This statement requires
confirmation; but should ii turn out. 10 be
correct, wehaSe PROFESSIONALLY to dread q
collision between the British and French
Admirals. Appearances are therefore
