SOUND REPUBLTCAN DOCTRIr

Soon after John Quincy Adams came into of
fee, a deputation waited upon him from New
York, and requested the removal of Mr.. Thomp-
son, the Collector; he remarked to them, 'EGen-
tlemen, has Mr.. Thompson abused his trust? II
you have any charges against him Of mal-prac-
tees in office, l will with pleasure hear your
testimony, and decide according to the interests
of the country. Please state the nature of YOU
charges, gentlemen"
''We have no charges to make, MIR. Adams,
except that MIR. Thompson is, and has always
been, opposed to you; we cheerfully admit that
he is a competent and good officer"
SIT is no objection in my sight," was the reply
of Mr.. Adams, ''that Mr.. Thompson is politi-
cally opposed to me; so long as he discharges the
duties of his Office with intelligence and fidelity,
he has nothing to fear from me. The letter and
spirit of constitution, both, secure him in the
free exercise of his civil religious and political
rights; and should be faithless to my trust,
could trench upon either of them. If you have
nothing else to allege against MIR. Thompson,
have only to say, that will not remove him.
thank you, gentlemen, for your zeal in my be-
half but cannot violate great and fundamen
tai principle of the government, to promote my
individual interests. Mr.. Thompson has tho
same right to the enjoyment Of his opinions, as
have to mine"
give the above as the substance of Mr. Adj
ams's reply. 1t is ten years since read it; but
as my memory is tenacious, think may affirm
that it is substantially correct. win now quote
a sentence or two from Mr.. Jeherssn's inaugural
speech. MIR. Jefferson says:--
esAIl will bear in mind this sacred principle,
that though the will of the majority is, in all
cases, to prevail, that will, to be rightful, must
be reasonable; that the minority possess their
equal rights, which equal laws must protect, and
to violate would be oppession. Let us then, iel-
low-citizens, unite with one heart, and one mind
let restore to social intercourse, that harmony
and affection, without which liberty, and even
life itself, but dreary things. And let us re-
feet, that having banished from our land that re
ligious intolerance under which mankind so lone
bled and suffered, we have yet gained little, il
| we countenance political intolerance as des
potic as wicked, and capable of as bitter ant
bloody prosecutions"
'sEyery difference of opinion is not difference
| of principle We have called by different name:
brethren of the same principle. We are all re.
| publicans; we are all federalists. If there bt
any among us who would wish to dissolve thi.
Union, or to change its republican form, let then
stand undisturbed, as monuments of the safety
with which error of opinion may be tolerated
when reason is left free to combat it.n
What a contrast these sentiments furnish, t.
that grovelling spirit which would punish tn
officers of the army for dealing with wing mer
chants, or withhold from the latter their "equa
r1ghts"-the common right of furnishing com
modities of trade for the army!

ANOTHER sPECK,D MURPHY.

DIR. Thomas l.. Murphy, in his Ghost OF De-
mocracy, of the 18th inst, hath the following:
es'The great advantages of a hard money cur
rcncy to all men who seek to live by honest means;
and the blighting effects Of such paper currency
as the wings advocate to the same class, are here.
in exemplifed in manner that must remove all
doubts upon the subject"
To sustain the foregoing, referenceis had te
the state of things in the Spanish Island of Cuba
at this time under the immediate government Of
the Prince Of Austria. He says:-
Gin Cuba, hard money country, three dollars
per day is the reward Of labor. Coopers frequent
" make from seven to ten dollars.n We are moi
told whether per day orper month; if the latter
it is but meagre compensation any where; II the
former, / don't believe it, @Carpenters get sixty
dollars per month, and boarded.n mot true. j
seAnd even slave labor is worth one dollar and
fifty cents per day." [Frue.1 9g- "Flour sells
at about seven 1llarspe barrel, and other neces
saries of life in proportion"
Phew! if that is not pure and unadulteratec
Murphy, why, we of the eastern part Of the city
don't recognize the features of one when we see
it, that's all. The duty alone, in Cuba, upor
flour, is TEN DOLLARS per barrel; shipping you
flour, then, at the port Of Baltimore, at 80 pei
barrel, which rs the ordinary price in ordinary
times, adding thereto freight, insurance, duty In
Cuba, and commissions, by the time your flour i
made into bread and reaches the mouths OF the Ia
borers, it will have cost them nearer THIRTY DOL
LARS per barrel than twenty, if, in truth, the la
borer of that Island tastes wheat flour at all
Of which have serious doubts.
With regard TO labor, / have only to say that
slave labor is the only labor in use in that Island
from the fact that tits the cheapest and best adapt
ed to the climate. Iwould advise the esprit o

9g.2D WARD TIPPECANOE CLUB.

The Committee appointed to procure subscrip-
tons to the "Pilot" feel it their duty earnestly
to urge upon the consideration of the meeting Of
the Club, the necessity of contributing their fall
share to the extension of its circulation. The
former relations which the Editor of this journal
sustained with the present dominant PARTY; his
peculiar and undoubted fitness for conduct
ing it; and the mass of important information
which he possesses, in relation to the past poll
tics of the country, render its support matter
not only of evident policy, but of imperative
duty upon every individual having the means;
and DESTROYS of securing the success of the Wing
party. Since the first election of President jack
son, our party has not once opened campaign
with hopes SO buoyant and prospects so brilliant,
of signal triumph, as that upon which we are
now entering. Our opponents are evidently
aware of this; and having been completely driv-
en- from the field of argument, they have resorted
to system of political warfare, in which no
other weapons are used than those which base
falsehood and misrepresentation, may supply;
and, hence those of their papers the most noted
for their utter disregard of truth and containing
the NEST atrocious calumnies against our candi-
date and the designs of our party, are stealthily
and gratuitously insnuated into every nook and
| corner of the city, and the grossest deception
practiced upon those of our citizens who have
not the facilities for gaining correct information.
| They have the public purse and the pockets of
the office-holders to sustain them. Oitr sole de-
pendence IS upon the generosity and patriotism
of our Wing brethren. We appeal, then, to
these. We ask them to say whether falsehood
shall be permitted TO go unrefuted: whether the
subtle poison shall exercise its deadly influence
| over the minds of the people, without the anti
dote being administered to counteract its effects.
There are hundreds of honest and disinterested
citizens, who are now open to conviction, and ii
furnished with correct information, would range
themselves under the Harrison banner; and un-
der these considerations, we again call upon eve
ny good citizen belonging to party, to patron
ize this, of its acknowledged organs, and af-
ter reading it himself, to send it ameng his neigh
bors for perusat.
1t was moved, that the above report be adopt
