prietors sare by withholding the publication from the
subscrbersl IL there 10000 to he printed,
which Mr.. Kendall anticipates, they would save 5000

of course, the subscribers would be cheated out OF
their precious purchase
Apropos-Mr. Kendall has been more constantly
at the Post Office Department since his resignation
than before
He has not answered the inquiries that have been
made of him. He is " mute candidate"

THE HEIGHT OF LUXURY.

The Ex-Postmaster General in a letter addressed
to Of his hirclings in New Hampshire speaks in
the following ubelant strain of the manner in which
he luxuriates during this warm weather
ITO be freeman, to escape the responsibilities and
restraints of exalted station to be able to talk
please to do please to call scnselcss brawcrs and
corrupt knaves hy their right names, and lash them
with whip of scorpions through the land in the sight
of cheated and insultcd people is luxury indeed
We need not remind the reader, that by esenselcss
hrawlcrs and corrupt knaves, the Extra" editor
means the most distinguished orators statesmen and
patriots in the land To calumnate and libel them is
his occupation; and as it is "a luxury indeed we
presume he will have objections to paying for ii
casionally. No pure democrat will object to aN
on luxury and perhaps the Globe twins may be re-
quired by jury Of twelve honest men 10 pay for this
species ofluxury before long.

LIBEL SUITS.

The Globe of the Both u made most airocious
and unprincpled assault upon the private character
and personal pecuniary credit of the Hon. n p Tall
madge, founded upon equally reckless article Of the
New York Evening Post. The extent of its audaci-
ty calculated as it was to be deeply injurious to the
credit of Mr. TallmaJge surprised even US, who have
much ribaldry and SANDER from that source,
countenanced too by its party, that not often
surprised at any thing 1t is its delight to feed upon
the ruins it would make of private character and bat
ten like the Vampire upon the life blood Of its vic
tim This no doubt is what Mr. Kendall denomi-
mates his luxury indeed Such rascaity should
not 90 unwhipt of justice. If their ISLANDERS
tradcted they publish the contradiction and
the public left under the injurious impressions of
their lbellous matter There is no way to reach such
men, who have feelings or principles in common
with gentlemen or men of honor, but through the
courts of law. Mr.. Tamadge has instituted suits
against the proprietors of the Y Evening Post and
against the propretors Of the Globe, each in the sum
of 800 900 They will now have opportunity of
subs,antiang their allegations, else pay tax upon
their yaunted luxury of making such unprncipled
and base assaults upon private character

THE GloBE.-The clerks and heads of bureaux
who have been engaged in the circulation Of this sour
rilous and sanderous sheet deserve to be xposed If
there any thing like fair argument, or even
general reference to facts in it, we could not very
strcnuously object to its being used by any who
seriously believes his just and that is his
duty thus to support it. But in it little but
solid falsehood-its premises generally founded in
falsehood and all its rcasonngs and conclusions are
consequently false. Its texts generally the fele
rasm of 9s, and its efforts aim to identify the
cause which Gen. Harrison represents with the OBJ
noxious principles of that era when truth the more
prominent measures of Mr.. Van Burens Adninistra-
ton correspond precisely with the devices Of
Gent federalism, and Gen. Harrsons Administration
would be Democratic Republican throughout. The
of this polluted sheet which assigned TO the
demolition of the Of truth is occupied with the
most heartless attempts to butcher and blacken the
character of private individuals We rejoice that in
one instance at least its bels be brought to the
notice of court and jury, it is the only way in
which its unwhipt rascaty be reached We re-
peat that the clerks and heads Of burcaux engaged in
circulating this sheet must be exposed We presume
il will not be difficult for shortly lay their names
before the public.

DISCIPLINED ARMIES VS., THE MASS OF

"A correspondent has handed us an extract from one
OF our earliest political writer's who contributed much
to reconcile the people to the existing constitution as
he did also to its establishment Its sentiments should
be commended to the sober second thought of those
who thinking of giving their votes to Mr. Van
Buren, in the coming election and who if reelected
we cannot but suppose will carry out his nbominable
scheme for the 100000 u s. militia force the great
derment and hazard Of the interests and liberties of
the country.

day absorbed in the pursuits of gain, and devoted TO
the improvements of agriculture and commerce.

multiplied by the increase of gold and silver, and of

armies distinct from the body Of the citizens the in
