part, shall continue to love her white
topped hills, her clear running streams.

forests, as long as live, whatever part
she may act in public affairs. find my
self arrived at a period of life, when these
scenes begin to return, bringing with them
the fresh remembrance Of Juvenile years.
shall not renounce my parent, nor be
ashamed of her, however long she may
continue in what call political errors
Still, cannot deny that l have great plea
sure in the hope, that an hour is coming.
when may be united in sentiment with
the majority of her People, on the great
questions which affect the interest of our
common country. She may be slow to
give up particular partialities, or particu-
lar opinions; but give them up she must.
and give them up she will: and she will
be as slow to take them back again.
The last time | ever saw General
STARK, he was at public house at Colts
town. Toward the close of the evening,
it was proposed that the company should
60 home. He said, mot yet. 1t is my
fashion, when | come late to make it up
by staying" Perhaps this may be the
fashion of the State.-[ trust it is. Allow
ME, therefore, to conclude this letter by
expressing the hope, that if New Hamp-

she will 'stay,,when she does come.

.9aciis and Lasfs-Co5blers and
Ii,kerS.

The government officers and depen-
dants, only comply with the orders of
their employers when they scandalise the
worklngmen, and remind blacksmi,hs
and shoemakers that they ought to 'sstick
to their anvils and their lasts" and not
.dabble in politics, unless it is on their
side of the question.
We have it from high authority, from
Mr. Van Buren's Secretary of the Navy,
that some reform was indispensable in
that arm of our National defence; as it
was ''impossible to make naval officers of
cobblers and tnkers''-they must be gen
tlemen's sons, and college bred, too--not
filthy mechanics.
Such authority Is not TO be disregardeti
by those who are fed from the public crib,
and who, but for that source of subsis
tence, might hazard becoming the recipi-
ents, of public charity; hence, we per-
ceive such articles of sneering at mechan-
les, as may be found in the official of
Wednesday last, to carry out the views
of their employ ers; whilst they OCCASION
ally fatter the hard-fisted yeomanry, to
obtain their suff'rages.
The worst feature in this affair, is, that
the violence of party feeling and preju-
dice induces too many of our fclow.citi-
vens to acquiesce, tacitly, in these denun-
Citations of themselves, without being
aware that their interested leaders have
placed mark of degradation upon their
foreheads, which cannot be seen without
the use of mirror-an examination of
both sides; and that it is done because
they suppose that hundreds, thus welded
to party. are incapable, from a want of
education, to examine for themselves, and
necessarily remain in error--and that
there are too many who, from habits Of
Incidence, or some other causes, will not
take the pains of consulting that which
truly reflects the image of the times.

PoLITIcAI. CHANGEs.--Whilew we chron-
icle SO many changes to the Wings side,
it is proper to notice the other side,
whenever change occurs, which is not
often. In Kentucky, however, the
Wings have lately snapped off r.. n.
Wicklibe, for p. Fl. Pope and threw in
Henry Daniels to boot. We have the best
of the bargain by great odds.

On this requisition, and no other that is
known, emanating from SECRET PoLIT1-
CAL COMMITTEE, sitting in darkness on the
rights and business of their fellow citi-
zens, the order for Military Court of In
quiry is granted, whose finding was to de-
termine whether the high-minded and
chivalrous officers of your Army had been
guilty of purchasing supplies for the pub
TIC service of this or that opponent Of the
Administration---and if found guilty of
this crime in the list of offences under the
new rules of the public service, they were
to be cAsHIERED, or else why inquire into
the truth of the charges! Were they found
guilty of this sin against the mlsnamed
Democratic party?-Was there a coloura-
BILE cause of complaint even on the ground
assumed by this new inquisition? And if
not, what inference is to be drawn from
the premises? Why simply this-THAT
SUCH AN ORDER HAS SECRET
LY GONE FORTH to all the agents of the
public, and the movement of the Commit
tee was means resorted to, to produce a
compliance with its injunctions! But here
follows the finding of the Court, copied
from the Globe:
The Hawk-eye and Iowa patriot. (Burlington, Iowa) 1839-1843, 1840-07-16
TYRANNY IN ITS WORST FORM!
"A MOST HIGH-HANDED
PROCEEDING, y.

A short time since it was ANNOUNCED in
the Baltimore papers, that Military
Court of Inquiry was sitting in that city,
assembled by order of the President of the
United States, to make an examination in
Ito the conduct of two Officers of the, Ar
my, charged by Committee appointed
by the Administration Convention of Bal
timore, with the high crime and misde-
meanor of having purchased supplies for
the PUBLIC SERVICE of WIGS,
ito the detriment Of the public interest,
and the GREAT WRONG of the DEMO
#CRATIC PARTY!!'
At first, we were incredulous. We
could not believe it possible that JACO-
B1NISM had gained such an ascendency
in our country! Much less could we be-
lieve, that though it existed in the breasts
of many of the leaders of the Tory Loco
foco party, it could ever find countenance
in this Republican land, at the hands of
the Chief Executive of a nation of FREE
MEN! Read, w-citizens--W Wings,
Democrats, honest men of every party,
by whatever name known--read the fol-
lowing evidence of the fact, and then de-
termine how much of Liberty is likely to
be left you, if the presant party in power
continue much longer to administer the
government!
The following is copy of the letter
handed to the President by one of the
signers, OH which President VAN buren,
ordered the Court of Inquiry,
CONFIDENTIAL.
TO his Ercelleocy the President of the
United States:
The undersigned have been appointed
a committee by the Democratic Conyen-
ton of the city of Baltimore, to wait on
your Excellency and request the inanaedi-
ate removal of Major Lendrum and Capt.
Dusenbery from their stations in that cis
ty. The reasons upon which this request
is founded, are, that those gentlemen are
employing the influence and patronage of
their places to iniure and prosecute the
supporters of the National Administration
"a course which the former has been
pursuing for the past sixteen months, to
the detriment of the public interest, and
to the great wrong Of the Democratic par
ty.
The Convention have been induced to
apply to your Excellency, because all 9TH
er applications have failed to effect re-
dress of the grievance complained Of
Permit us to assure your Excellency that
no private or personal consideration has
influenced the Convention or any of the
undersigned, in this matter; but they have
been actuated solely by regard for the
public good, and the just claims of the
Democratic party.
