ards. According to a notice in the last Demo

ence Of c. p. Van Ness and other leading Lo-
cos. The Tories seem To think that the free
men Of your place will vote as they shall die

wings of Marlboro, Awake

We call upon the Wings Of Ma. lboro, as the
crisis approaches when the great question will
be settled, to show to their friends In this coun-
,y aud State whether they are really awake to
the great interests which are now at stake,
and whether while their friends in other places
are putting forth strenuous efforts in behalf of
the Wing cause, they are willing to do their
duty--to submit to some sacrifice We be-
lieve the Wings of Marlboro are true, our only
fears are they will not be thoroughly aroused.
You can carry the day you will, and every
Wing knows il. Will you labor2 Will you
put forth one strong and powerful effort, at this
important time. tits expected Of you. Don't
let the Wings of other towns be dsheartened
by Indifference or inactivity on your rart.

These ARE THE BETTER rlMEs.-The Con-
necticut Courant estimates that upwards OF
serenity factories have ceased operations in
New England, and one fourth at least Of the
population Of the United States are now out of
employment. Are we to be told then that
such state Of things is preferable 10 times
such as We have had, when all branches of in
dusiry were in successful operation, and there
was demand for all the labor which could be
had Have we come to that pass as people,
when we should feel graliiied to see one class
of community built up ON The ruins of another.
Martin Van Buren,, Buchanan nor any other
man can satisfy us that this is right, nor do we
believe they can make the freeman of this
State believe it is right. Merit Norsm6er wiH
decide what our freemen think Of il.

II is surprising TO us and we think il must be to
every thinking, rejecting mind, that The ties Of
parry should SO bind men to the ear ofNan Bu-
reni as 10 keep them from pursuing that course
which their own better judgment tells them is
right We know there are men in our imme-
da;e vicinity who were il not for the shackles OF
party aud false pride, il left 10 their own I'M
BIASED choice Instead Of giving their support TO
MIR Van Buren, and his measures, would come
on, and give Harrison their cordial and hearty
support But the disrelish they have Of being
termed turn coats, changedbie, &c, will not
admit them to tack about and pursue a politi-
cal course which would better accord with
their feelings aud judgment than the course
they are now pursuing. Evidently this is not
right. This is not the course usually pursued
by men in other matters. Every frcemen is
bound to support according TO his oath that can
didate which he thinks will be most suitable *
hes, qualified for the station which he NAV be
called 10 fill. If man is satisfied 10 his own
mind that Harrison would better fill the Office
OF President than Van Buren,, it is clearly his
duty according 10 his oath TO support him. We
deprecate those party feelings and influences
which will not allow man to act according 10
his free choice. They should be discountenan-
ced as dangerous in the highest degree TO our
free institutions and Republican govern
ment. Ii Mr.. Van Buren, has not pursued
Judicious aud wise course and IRE pretend 10
say that he has not-why support him, when
there are men whom we believe will admins
ter our government consIitutionally and wise
ly. II ii costs The government as much again
for lis expenses under Mr. Van Buren, as il did
during the term of any other President and
there can be no reason assigned for it-no for
eign war--no ouigo for Notifications, harbors
and the l:ke-why not have 4 change. If our
aim is, the good of the country, the prosperi-
ly OF the peopIe-and not 10 crafty any person
al pique or prejudice-cerainly we shall be
led 10 support man for Office whose only aim
and would be to serve his country from patriot
ic motives. Such man is now before the
American people. William Henry Harrison.
See what he has done and then contrast his
course with that of Van Buren, and what is the
result. Much has been done by the former
very little by the latter.

no Young Mems Uhig issoci0tioR-We
attended the last meeting of this Association
which was held agreeable to appointment on
Thursday the 9th. The Hon. HrxaY CHAP
Man addressed the meeting in peculiarly hap
ny and interesting manner. We have heard
but one opinion expressed in relation TO this ad-
dress. twas conceded on oil hands as one of
the most clear and lucid things OF the kind
which was ever delivered. We feel under
great obligations TO Mr.. c. for this effort, as il
has disabused the minds Of many who had been
led to look upon Mopopoles rs something
irishtiul-who now are fee TO say that with
the explanation which be has given, they are
perfectly satisfied. The meeting was fully at
tended by a large body OF lreemen, and the
galleries were graced by many of our ladies.
We wish Mr. c. could be prevailed upon to de-
liver the same address in some Of the neighbor-
towns.

National Expenditures.

We invite the particular attention Of our
readers to an article under the above head in
this week paper, which we copy from the
Waterman and State Journal reducing the ex-
cess Of the expense Of Mr. Van Burens Ad-
ministraton over that of Mr. Adams to pounds
and WAGON LOADS OF DOLLARS.
II will seem to give some idea ofthe enormous
extravaganza of the present economical Ad-
ministration. The reader should bear in mind,
tina, the administration Of Mr. Adams was put
down by MIR Van Buren, and his friends for its
wasteful extravaganza, and that they solemnly
pledged themselves to retrench those expenses
il the people would place them in power, also
that there has been at least three MILLIONS OF
DOLLARS lost by collecting, receiving and dis
bursting officers through the wliul neglect and
corrupt favotitsm of the present dynasty,
which is not included in the calculation 10
which We call attention.
Farmers, Mechanics and Laboring men ofall
occupations, reflect on the enorm,y of this proili
gate administration in squandeIing thousands Of
Wagon loads Of dollars annually Of your hard
earnings,upon court favoritcs and useless officers
and retainers us a reward for their patriotic ei-
forts TO destroy the freedom Of the press and
the freedom Of elections and thereby secure the
succession TO the Presidency for the next
twenty eight years in the hands Of the
corrupt coalition consisting Of Van Du-
rem, Benton, Calhoun and Kendall. This is
the object of all their moasures-for this they
want the Sub Treasury-for this they want
the standing Army. For this the people will
be oppressed, and ground TO the dust. All
these sacrifices will be made TO crafty the in
satiabe ambition Of these political aspiranis
for Office aud power, unless the freemen rise
in their strength aud hurl them from Office at
the coming election. That the people will do
this we have every assurance from The signs
OF the times.

WILL OF PAGANINI-"The will of Paganni
has been opened at Genoa, 4" says a letter from
that place in the Debdts, d" and the following
account Of its contents given as authentic:-The
greater part Of the fortune consists in houses and
land; the remainder is in the funds in France,
England, and Naples. The total amount has
been officially estimated at, | 100000 francs,
above 10000 sterling, which is said TO be
rather an under than an over estimate Pagan
mi has left to his eldest sister the life interest of
capital Of $4,000 francs, which is after her
death, 10 de divided equally between the sons
and daughters To his Youngest sister he has
left life interest of $4,000 francs, on similar
conditions: TO lady Of Lucca, whose name the
will declares is not to be mentioned he has left
5000 francs year for life; and to the mother Of
his son 200 francs year for life. This lady
is not a Jewess, as has been said, but Roman
Catholic, and distinguished singer, who ira
yelled with Paganini from 1923 TO 1923, and
sang in nearly all the concerts which he gave
during that time. The bulk Of the property,
after deductng the legacies, is bequathed to his
son Achilles, who is, by the will, placed under
the guardianship ofthe Marquis Lorenzo Patera,
Of Genoa"

but that an example Of patience may be drawn
from the wel-borne sufferings of others. Nor is
there any class of society so sunk TO the bottom
of wretchedness, but such an example may still
be found even for them, for, rightly considered
the mseres and sacrifices which animals are so
largely called upon to endure on mans account
and which they generally endure with soperfect
patience, are calculated to soften and bring
down to submission the most obdurate hearts.
