THE PRIZE SHIP

We h1vc the pleasure OF stating tha;
the beautiful ship, LIBERTY" left with
the Central Committee by the Delegation to
our recent Convention from New Hanover,
has been securely housed, and is well pro-
tccted, not only from the weather, but
from the hands of rudepess or violence
The Ship cost the Delegation, we learn,
about 5000, and they were offered 500
for it again, deliverable at Wilmington
And vet, with a public spirit and patriot
ism, that cannot be too highly lauded, they
declined the sale, and left it here as an in
citing reward to stimulate to deeds of viz
tue. The Standard calls 1t a bride,
and is quite indignant at the idea Of cor
rupting the people in this way.
d, To laugh were want of manners and Of grace,
% Yet to be grave, exceeds all power Of face"
The Administration party employing
their clqucncc in denouncng bribery and
corruption 1t brings to mind the old

We expect, however, no good Wing will
be deferred bv the thunder Of the . Stand

The address Of the Loco-foco federal Office holders
Convention adopted at their farcical meeting in Bat
more has at length appeared and appeared at length
In the first column the words democracy" or de-
mocratic" occur fourteen times II the proportion is
the throughout that argument in repeated ninety
eight times! We should like the Globe to answer this
question. Did the Convention which adopted that
address at Balimors hear It it until It ap-
peared in the Globe and has il not been prepared BY
office holders who have been rejected by the people,
under the direction Of the Executive This is cha
racteristic of Loco-fcco federalism convention OF
Office holders il ordered for the sake of FORM who shall
endorse in advance any thing that may issue from the
Executive. The address Is concoctcd in the White
House. and goes forth as Uksse from the Palace
or rather in this case, it is an apology for Mr. Van
Buren, for havingt brough endorsements and ruin
upon the country dictated by himself Is this indie
pcndence is il dsintercstcd patriotism Pshaw II
ia selfish appeal for perpetual office, Office office Is
the Sub-trcasury urged II is merely incidentally
mentioned Il the reduction Of currency of property
and of labor urged The issue upon these questions
is evaded and the people virtually called upon to
look no, at the measures Of Government not upon the
PROSTATE and degraded condition Of the country but to
listen to the hypocrca counterfeit cant Of federal
Office holders about democracy and federalism The
people will no, do it. They will hold the Administers
