MOVEMENTS OF THE PEOPLE.

at is as true as holy writ" as the trite say
ing Isl or we are greatly mistaken, that THE
PEOPLE of the United States are at this time
more excited on political subjects than they
have been for many years before and it is
equally true that they are setting down upon
firm and sober determination to change their
public servants, in the hope of bringing about
reform of long catalogue of grievances and
aggravated abuses which have blghted the
faifest and best prospects OF the nation, and
which have become too ntolerable to be long
er endured by free and enlightened people.
In Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, &c, a
general commotion seems to pervade. The
asSemblages of the people are said to be with
out parallel, and all in favor of HARRISON
AND REFORM. In the Empire State, too, the
people continue to move in solid columns
and even our Keystone sister, who has been
playing the harlot so long, is quite likely to
discard the rude hand of the common destroy
er, and come into the Wing fold.
But the Green mountain Boys bid fair to
excel all in union and harmony in the great
work of reform Her late enthusiasm out
strips every thing. The county meetings are
numerously attended and with the best feel
ings, where they have been holden, and the
calls for others show that there is no danger
of slumbering and sleeping at this time.
We notice in the Vermont Mercury a call
for meeting of the Young men in Windsor

other in Franklin county by 400.

of New Hampshire and Vermont, outnumber-

With all these cheering facts before US

counties and make manifest your sufTerinps in

we shall say no more TO stimulate you. For
you must know your country calls loud upon

However great and grevous the outrage OF

less it was proper that he should have dele
gated some other member of that body to have
laid the proceedings before the House. Fol
by accepting the office of Speaker, he must
have recognized the right of the members OF
the House to elect him, and by the address
and course taken by New Jersey it would
seem that he would be acting contrary to his
assumed position and recognizing different
view of the subject by presenting the address
as member instead of Speaker. Some may

is entirely falacious. In the first place it is
all moonshine that the United States have any
idea OF assuming the liabilities of the States.

raised in favor Of II in or out of Congress. 49,
Neither have any Of the States ever made ap-

the sale OF division Of the proceeds Of the
public lands among the states has any affinity

The Milledgevllle Recorder, statesriph,
paper and formerly in hand and glove with
Mr. Calhoun in his disorganzing notions, holds
the following language touching the recent e.
lections at Washington
Rumor is prolific of tales of coalition and
combinations at Washington, among some OF
the leading politicians of the day. Among
Others, II is publicly stated that Mr.. Calhoun
and Mr. Van Buren,, have formed coalition,
that hereafter their interests are to be the same
and that henceforth Mr. Calhoun is to be rank
ed as Van Buren, man. We cannot bring
ourselves to believe any thing so monstrous.
Calhoun believes Van Bnren to be the worst
man in the United States, publicly and pri-
vately-he even went so far as once to charge
him with stealing letter from his private es-
crtor He has charged him with being every
thing that was mean and base as private in
dividual, and of being every thing that was
corrupt and dangerous as a public one. We
cannot believe madame Rumor in her present
monstrous and incredible story. We shall
wait, at least for confirmation strong before we
can be brought to credit such apparent impos-
slbllltes. Some test, good one, we conceive
OF this, will substantially be afford ed by
the vote for public printer. ! Mr.. Cal
houn's friends support the creature Blair,
whose ~leesrino is tfIdl or nuIlltler, hanging
is too good, and who has not one redeeming
quality TO glimmer from the mass of his utter
profligacy--if the friends of Calhoun can swal-
lew this creature, we shall be prepared for any
thing on their part, were their next move to be
TO make an effort TO make Amos Kendall En-
peror of the Union. We cannot believe this.
