We will say nothing of the in creased powers gfantad by this bill to the President in the appointment of additional oficers-nor of the expense of the peoples Government in the salaries of officers, the hire of clerks and the execution of build ings, to say nothing of the transportation of the precious metals to and from the diff ferent strong holds. But we would ask the people to examine this measure in all its bearings? see whether it is to be blessing or curse2 see whether it realizes your ex pections as raised by the praise of it's ad

 does the Secretary know ths2 But it is a rule of law as well as of common sense, that irrelevant testimony shall not be ad. nitted, for there is no calculating what un- due bias it may exert on the minds of the jurors-and if admitted, 1t is good cause for an appellate jurisdiction to set aside the decesion. But all this has nothing to do with the main point Of the merits of the decision, so far as relates to Lieut. Hooe, we know nothing, and they have nothing to do with the question re are discussing- i Q. the admissibility of negro testimony a. gainst white men This is the great matter
 this ii is which does violence to the feel. ings of the people, and which the Secreta. " of the Navy and the President have ap. proved. The 4th excuse is for the Presi- dent, and is full of qubbling, e la nsode h,s associate, Poinsett It is as follows:
 1t is not deemed necessary to go fur ther into this subject than merely to add, that the President had nothing to do with the Court or its proceedings. The judg- lnent of the Court was approved, and car Tied into effect by the order of this De- partment--thc approval or'op;nioa of any higher power Was not necessary"

The facts are these: The proceedings were sent to Washington: they were endorsed by the Secretary;

 APPROVED,
 Lieut. Hooe then appealed from the de- rlslon of the Court and the approval of the Secretary, to the President In his me- snoflal to that high Functionary, he expres, iy complained of the iliegality of the ne gro testimony, and asked the eseecial at. tentlon of the President to it. The Presi- dent examined the record and memorial, and returned the same to the Navy De partment with the following endorse ment:

 This leaves no loop-holes for escape Out of his own mouth he is condemned But we will do the President the justice to say, his conduct n this particular is con- slstent with his past life, and in perfect keeping with his advocacy of Free Negro S9troge.

Southern shield., 1840-07-31

Two weeks ago. we noticed in our paper
 the passage of the Sub-Treasury Bill, and
 in connection with that subject gave an ex
 tract of speech from Senator Tappan
 commenting upon the price of labor, &c
 and we spoke of Mir. Tappan as an aboli
 tonist. This seems to have thrown our
 neighbor of the "Democrat" into a perfect
 fever, and strange as it may appear, tha, paper is mortified at the idea of forgery and tajsehood
 The extract we published was taken from the Cincinnati Republican, respecta- ble paper printed in Mir. Tappan's own State, and we had no doubt of it's correct, ness; but since the publication we have seen a Washington Globe, which says that they are authorized to contradict this extract as having no foundation in truth, and we most cheerfully make the amend in justice to the party injured. The charge of abolition was made upon the evidence of Mir. Tap. pans former course and his declarations about the Southampton murders in Virgin ia. The Shield has ever avoided gross per sonalities and vindictive abuse; it has ever endeavored to do justice to all we are bat ting for principle, and what we believe to be the cause Of our country and we would scorn the idea of carrying ottr measures by any other than honorable means We will never knowingly misrepresent any one, and if by accident we should. none will he more ready to do justice than we But the holy horror of the Democrat about these things is really amusing, coming as it does from a paper that publishes the fcrged Ohio Circular, and published with the name of Gen. Harrison affixed to it, an extract of his circular in 1922, to prove him an abolition ist, when the whole circular taken together showed that Gen. Harrison placed the rights of the South upon high Constitutional grounds. Come neighbor, take things cool |y, and when you learn to tell the truth yourself, we shall receive your lectures more kindly

From the National IntclIioence


 When Mir Van Buren entered upon the high and responsible duties of his sta. Elon, as Ii under the infinenca of con, Q strange sorcery, he yielded to the impulse of mischief Not only did he withhold the fostering hand 1t was his sacred duty to extend, but he persisted in the war begun by ms '1llustrious predecessor against the growing prosperity of the nation And so perseveringly and relentessly has he prosecuted this war upon the credit of the country, the currency of the country. the business of the country and the enter prise of the country, that they have all succombed, unable to contend successfully with an adversary in whom they ought to have found protector, and are now threat ened with the last act that can bring them lower or scourge them more-the thrice condemned, thrice rejected Sub Treasury Scheme! The total disregard of the will in forcing the odious measure upon a re- sisting people, is one of the most daring outrages upon the fundamental principles of Republican government that has ever marked the conduct of any public man since we have been free People: and. should the measure receive the sanction of law, (which now appears probable,) then will it be proved how effectually the Exc cutlve power has outgrown those checks which, in the theory of the Constitution are considered the safeguards of our liber. ties.
 Mir. Van Buren has brought all the pow CT or the Government to his aid in carry ing out system (of which the Sub-Trea. sury scheme is designed to be the crown ing acD that proposes total revolution in the fiscal and financial operations of the country; bearing runously upon every in- terest that yields revenue without oppres- sion, and lays stable foundation for the success of every business, and secures liberal reward to honest industry This policy of his is avowedly system uf expe- rlments. And mark how 1t has workedl It has beggared the Treasury which, Mr. Van Buren came into office, he found over- flowing; and it has broken down more ef fectuaffy the thrift and spirit and enter prise of our whole country than it was be- lieved to be in the power of man to accom- plish, or within the compass of legislation to effect
 In the midst of our country's ruin with cries of distress reaching the Executive from avery quarter and ringing in his ears the pleadings of the people to save them from desperation, We see the President stand annoyed upon the eminence of his station saying in effect to his party. "Go on to the accomplishment ofmy plans, cost what they may! Let my will be done, though millions suffer-"
 it to be believed that under the rule ofa President who thus exercises his off cial powers much more with view to the | success of a party than for the good of the whole people, the country can prosperl Give him anotherterm of service to perpet- | uate the power and the policy of his party, and the present generation can never hope to see q return of those glorious times
