Hamburgh, Bremen, Cuba, Jamaica, Berlin, Frankfort in Germany, Leipsic in SaXony, Munich, Smyrna, Genoa, Laguira, Leghorn, and Constantinople, show, that they require every dollar of the people, or, revenue in any shape, in specie. Not a single dollar does the Emperor of Austria, the King of Prussia, King of Sweden, tho Grand Sultan or any of those arbitrary monarchies, take oftheir Sub- jects but the real Benton sinners, sir, or the hard siIver-they don't touch dollar, sir, of bank rags, nor don't put dollar in the banks.
 r. R.-Well, well-I reckon specie must be easy got in these countries, the people get likely wages, there for work, as there is no bank aristocrat. These specie Emperors and Brokers, sc. give fine prices for york; don't they!
 Cam.-Why as to that dye see-their sub- jects don't need as much as ours do here-as things are cht a?er there.
 ?. R-WeIl, is Land cheap too?
 Cam-Oh the subjects don't own the land, il all belongs to the Dukes and Lords.
 P. R.-What does the word subject mean
 Capt.-Subject means that they are under their Kings, Dukes, sc., just like you are under President Van Buren.
 R.-Why, how long have these subjects been working for their Kings,and Emperors, and Dukes, and Lords, and han't got no land of their own yet!
 Capt-Why, it's some time since Istudied geometrY but guess these empires are rather older than the American Revolution.
 P. R.--What! and the subjects han't earn't any land of their own yet, and yet getting specie for wages-why, how much do they get for days work!
 Capt.-Why, the President don't report what wages the subjects get, for he thinks the sul1ects ought not to expect foo much from the go- uernnent, and he never thought of asking how much they got for their work.
 r. R.-Well, Tim sorry our "democratic" President didn't think little about the peo- pie, while he was learning how the Kings and Emperors take care of thenselves.- We'll, was asking George Jacobs the other day, who came from Holsteen, and he says they only get seren-pence day for work and board themselves and there's some in our neighborhood came from bantzic,trom Ham, burgh and from Bremen, and they say they got from 4 l.2 to pence a day and boarded themselves-they get from B to 100 shillings a year and find themselves. Why captain, ain't that the reason they can't get to own any land there-they get such starving wa ges?
 Capt-Im very busy now, my dear sir, the mail is just coming in-but you aint go- ing to vote for old Granny Harrison hope -are you?
 P. R.-Why Captain, you're in great futter--Tve seen you fore now stop and talk an hour and let all the mails in the country come and go. wish you just to answer me one question, and if you can't do il, nor none of the otiice- holders about here, just send on to Amos Kendall, and get him to answer it in the next Extra Globe you give me.
 Capt-Well-what is it! Be quick for Pm in hurry.
 P.R.-Be patient Captain-perhaps you'll have leisure after ,chile. It is ths-How long would it take man at pence day and find himself and family, to clear enough to buy 80 acres of land! And another query is, if it is such a fine thing to have specie wages and low prices. what on earth is the reason that these people are coming over by hundreds and thousands from their specie kingdoms and going to work at dollar d day in this bank.ridden country to get land. What on earth is the reason. Captain! Can you tell? And what's the reason the com mon people own their own land in this coun. try and don't in the specie countries! What can it be?
 Caw.-Pshaw see you are Federalist
 T.A., rom M-. IV:oc-wo md the fol- lowing letter from Mir. Wise in the Provi- dence Journal, and are happy to hear him speak with such confidence us to our pros- poets in Virginia. ....-.
 PHILADELPHIA, July 26th, l64O.
 DEAR SIR-Instead of answering, must, after so long delay, apologize for not an- swering your letter of the 9th inst. was overwhelmed with duties and engagements of every sort at the time, or would have ta- ken pleasure in saying to you, and to the Log Cabin Boys at Providence, that you may look confidently to the Old Dominion for "glad tidings of great joy" in the month of November next. She is the mother of De- mocracy and could not be deceived and im- posed upon by tho aliens and bastards to the faith, who have been sowing all manner of false doctrine in part, in her sacred name, to the injury and abuse of every thing sacred critics md impostors, she is in fact indignant, and will visit the offences of the pseudo De- mocrats, whom she has been heretofore trusting, with her victorious vengeance, not in wrath, but in political justice. I regard our majority, great or small, in the State of Virginia Gs certGin, and beyond all contin- gency. Eastern Virginia has always been opposed to the "spoils party." and last spring increased it's majorities. In Western Virginia the changes have been immense, and our minor es, if they have not actually been converted into majOrities, are so modified as to render victory certain.- Mr. Rives is doing much at this time for sound Democracy, in the Valley and Cis- mountain portion of the State, and the old tide water region, where the Old Raleigh stands, where the Committee Of Safety sat during tho Revolution, where Democracy was cradled, needs no preacher of reform, for the whole mass of the people themselves
