In progress of time, the n~scendency Of
wealth become complete. Its excellence
was universally acknowledged, and power
and honors followed in IFS train. From the
SAINT era, the decline of virtue may be dated.
Poverty was now held as ignoninicus.-
Innocence Of heart and simplicity OF man,
ners were interpreted into a satire on the
times. Thus the youth taught to look up to
riches as the sovereign good, became apt
pupils in the school of Luxury. Avarice and
pride supplied their precepts. Rapacity and
profusion went hand in hand. Careless Of
their own fortunes, and eager to possess
those of others, shame and remorse, modesty
and moderation, every principle gave way.
All rushed into a profligacy that needed no
restraint, either divine or human.-[Sallust.

Piled u tina, object; and to what purpose the money
has been applied does not appear.
Other evidence may also be adduced of the aban-

party refused tocontnuc the appropriations for harbors
and light houses on the lates for the continuation of
the Cumberland rond for the improvement of the
navigation of the Hudson river and also Of the Miss
issippi, Ohio and Red rivers.
Possessing as the general government does, the
right of sovereignty and the exclusive ur sdcton over
the navigabc waters of Wisconsin, and claiming rs
it does nl the vacant lands within her boundaries and
all of her resources for revenue, her inhabitants have
a right to demand the protection of their trade and
commerce. and the construction of roads and the I'M
provccnt Of the navigation Of their rivcrs.-As their
REPRESENTATIVES. therefore, it is asked that the people
of the United States may elect President and Mem
bcrs Of Congress who will restore system OF m ca,

We have only spread this bald estimate before the
people to show the utter hopeessncss and desperation
Of Van Burcnism. II 10 confession Of weakness
which must strike terror into the hearts Of those who

York. merely because that majority is absolutely ne
cessary to enable them to beat on paper. Their
claim 900 in Delaware, 600 in Madison, aud 300 in
Rockland will shame loco focoism itself in those coun-
ties. And the prctence that Onondoga, Oswego,
Kings Lewis, Queens, Richmond, Saratoga, Schc-
ncctady Ulster &c will go for Van Buren,, turns the
whole estimate into ridicule
But let us turn a moment to the wing column. In
almost every county majority put fifty per cent
too low. Albany and Rensselaer,, will each give neaf-
or 300 than 400 Wing majority. Allegheny, Broorne,
Catcrnugus, Cortland, Essex, Franklin Jcticl son,
Munroe, Niagara, Ontario aud Orleans, will give
more than double the majority allowed. Chautaque
will give from 1000 to $500. Erie will give 5000 in.
stead of 1000. Gcnescc will give at least $500 instead
of $500; and we will pay Mr.. Croswcll n dollar for
every vote that Gen Harrison falls short of 1000 in
old Washington, if he will pay the same amount
for every vote that Gen. Harrison receives in that
county over 1900.

WHO ARE THE ARISTOCRACY.

1t is well known that one great argument OF
the Loco Foco orators and editors used against
the Wing party, is that the Wings are the aris-
tocrais of the land, and it is equally notorious
that the constant effort of the Loco Foco leaders
is to array the poor against the rich. They
also continually charge the Wings with being
opposed to universal suffrage, and with wisl,
to introduce a property qualification for voters
We have now an opportunity to show which
party have cause to apprchend the most from
universal suffrage, or who are the gamers by
the same.
BY the Constitution of North Carolina, the
members Of the Senate go in number) are c.
lccted in Districts by the white freenen who
are possessed of freehold, within the same
district, of 30 acers OF land; while the Governor
an the members of the House Of Commons are
ele ted by TALL freemen of the age Of 81 years
and upwards, who have been inhabitants OF
ie State twelve months Immediately proceed
ng the election equivalent to universal suf:
rage)
We now solicit the attention of both Wings
and Loco Focos to the following statement o.
comparative returns of votes at the recent c.
lection in North Carolina, for members of the
Senate and Of the House of Commons, in &c
counties, being all which were contested, from
which we have complete returns. In these
counties, it will be pleasant to the Wings to
observe, that while they have a majority Of
2,sl6 among the owners Of the soil, their ira.
jority is increased to 4l63 OH the vote for the
members of the House Of Commons, by an ex
tended right of franchise. In the same coun
ties the Wing majority for Governor, who is
also elected by universal suffrage, is 1882 an,
in the whole State $3.50. While the Wing,
have elected % out Of 80 Senators, they have
carried IS out OF l20 in the House of Commons

\ GOOD IDEA.

The Globe, finding that the plain republican.
OF the country are startled at the monstrous ex-
pendtures in furnishing the White House since
Martin Van Buren, has been its tenant, under
takes to make an offset by showing that almost
as much was spent by the preceding Presidents.
That is laughable mode Of disposing of the
question, as if every dollar spent in purchasing
costly furniture under Mr.. Monroe, Mr.. Adams,
and General Jackson, would not be reason
why less should be spent under Van Buren,
We suppose that General Jackson did not take
with him the carpets, girohdoes, the sofas, the
chandeliers. aud the artificial flowers, purchased
for the house.

We have taken the liberty of copying the
above advertisement from the last Burlington
Sentinel, for the double purpose of extending
the information, and at the same time correcting
Typographical error in our notice of last week.
The sale takes place on the 22d, instead of tho
10Th inst. The place, it will be observed how.
ever is omtted-whether by design or accident
we are not authorised to say. We charitablv
presume the latter. And, as it would be rather
natural inference that Burlington would no
the spot selected for such a sale, whe have no
doubt that those interested, may, BY dgent
search at the Breakwater, the lake shore. the
square, or some other public place in town. find
the particular location of this wanton sacrifice of
government property In saying this, we wish
to impute nothing improper to the Agent, ar he
Is OF course acting under special instructions
from Washington.
We understand, by the way, that similar
sale has been ordered on the North River. The
dredging machines, constructed at immense
expense by the government for the purpose of
improving the navigation Of the river, are to he
put up at auction for what they will bring
These machines are useless except for the DUR.
pose for which they were constructed, and tina,
purpose can only be prosecuted by the govern
men The only object an individual could
have in purchasing them, would be the old iron
or wood about them, or the probability of
f''t"'0 "rcc"5">fon on 0fNte government. Hence
they will be sacrificed. These are mournful
indications of the condition of the nation. but
they belong to the times, and it is fitting that the
people should ponder we'll these things Tho
motive for this procedure is doubtless threefo|d.
The party in power are satisfied that they will
have to surrender it next March; hence thew
mean to realize all the money possible, by a sale
oil the government property, give the office
holders chance for speculation, and throw
every possible embarrassment in the way Of tho
coming administration. The property will sell
Tor mere trltie but it will cost millions 10 re

AFTER II must be at correspondngy increased

end to all expenditures for public improve
ments at the at the north. and it is doubtless in
turtherance of this policy that the measure allu.
ded to has been adopted.
