LAZY PEOPLE.

Thanks to Heaven and our ancestors, and to
all others who had any hand in making us what
we are: thanks 10 them one and all that we were
not born LAZY. hazness has been the parent OF
all the sins that have been committed since the
morning OF creation. Eve was in lazy fit at the
time satan tempted her; if Adam had kept her
busy, she would have kept out of mischief, and
we sould all have been as innocent and as happy
as Young ambkns. If the antedeluvians had
commenced building arks, when Noah preached
to them, they might all have been saved: but they
were too lazy to work, and so they were drowned
in the great aquacous catastrophe. The reason
the Egyptians refused 10 let the lsraelites 80 was
because they were too lazy to make their own
bricks, and wished 10 compel the Hebrews to 40
that work for them. The consequences are all
known; they were plauged grlcvousy and alter
wards drowned in the Red Sea. Lazy people IN
our own days, are constantly plagued themselves
and are an everlasting plague and eye, sores 10
Others The sight OF creeping ist,ess, mao
lent man. or woman, is misery to the thrifty, and
industrious. People OF this class are without
friends thew are obhored by their own rel ations,
and universally dreaded. They not only hate to
work themselves, but they hate to see work done,
and would G,in have the whole world, as useless
and ioactiye as they are. Ofths kidney are our
Iounrers, who delight in hanging about workshops,
nrinting Offices, and every place where they can
Iin,erru3t business. Had we as Homer expresses
it,
A hundred mouths, thousand tongues.
| lhrost of brass and adamantine lungs"
we could scarcely find time and strength to exc
crate such characters. . PhiLd. LAGER

THE BANKS! THE BANKS THE BANKS

The "hue and cry" raised by the Van Buren, party
all over the country, about the banks! the banks!
the bnnks excite should excite, the contempt of
every honorable, high minded man, be he of this or
that party. Who created the banks' Will those
who are loud in their denunciations Of these corpo-
ratons, and more loud in their denunciations of
the power bestowed upon ;hem tell us, who created
Them and who is responsible to the country, If
they are curses to it, Let US examine into facts
for while. By investigation it has been ascsr-
tanned that, during Washington's administration
the capital increased from 81 100000 to 39,500,-
600, making an increase of about 100000. Du-
ring the administration of Jefferson and Madison,
the bank capital increased $S5, 49,, 422. ..
During Mr.. Munroe's administration, the in
crease was 1928, lSS.
During Adams administration, the increase was
3,0Sl65S.
During Jackson;s administration, the Banking
Capital of the United States, was increased ONE
HUNDRED AND SIX MILLIONS, SIX HUN
DRED AND EIGHTY-THREE THOUSAND,
AND TWENTY-FOUR DOLLARS.

It'll stands the ''old Raleigh" whose walls

British throne by the Henrys, the Jeifersons the
Randophs, and the Harrsons of old. In that city
could Federalism have an abiding place! And yet,
among all the freemen there who exercise the right
of suffrage, there is ONE supporter of Mr. Van
Buren,! He next spoke of Yorktown, at which
place it is proposed to hold the Convention, as the
scene of the final Revolutionary struggle, where
our independence was secured, and therefore an
appropriate place for the final effort of the Wings
previous to the restoration of independence in No

HISTORY OF MY CONDUCT IN
FLORIDA.

My health became very feeble shortly after
my arrival in Florida, and whilst we lay at
Tampa Bay. |, however, at the head Of my SIN
gle Company, reduced down 10 Sc men from y,
followed the army that had preceded me few
days into the Indian country, and overlook it at
Fort Gardner about 80 miles. We remained at
this fort (Fort Gardner) about three weeks, my
health all the time very feeble and was fire.
quently desired by DR.. Hannah, the Surgeon OF
our Regt. (now Physician Of this pace) and
most of the officers and men to return to Tampa,
where could receive something like attention.
positively refused leaving the army, whilst
there appeared the least probability OF active ser.
vice. but the celebrated Chief, Jumper, and 9th.
ers, coming in with such professions of peace,
and that we all entertained the opinions that the
War was at an end, and Colonel Taylor, the
commandant, actually issued an order to the Vol
unecrs to return to Tampa by circui,ous route,
then and there for the first time did agree to re.
turn by the direct route, which did, in company
with Mr. N. D. Broadly, the commissary OF the
Regt. who was also sick, and single man ia
attend us.-My leaving the army was more than
10 days before the battle, and several days be.
fore Col. Taylor, upon the receipt Of fresh in.
formation from Gen. Jessup, countefmanded the
orders that he had issued to Col. Gentry to re-
turn to Tampa.
On my arrival at Tampa, my health growing
worse, by the advice Of Doctor Wood, U. S.
Surgeon, took short sea voyage, and was al
sea when the battle was fought.
When | returned from sea and heard OF tin
battle, contrary to the express orders Of Gen
Armstcad, with a single individual, the Rev
Samuel d. Gilbert, now OF this county,
mounted my horse and started 10 ejoin the army
and rode the same night above forty miles, tn,
distance between two posts established by Col
Taylor in the Indian country The next day
fortunately met the Volunteers returning to re
cruit &c.
When we had recruited, with about sixty 0
the Mo. Volunteers, Qhe balance Of the Rcgi
ment being discharged and returned home,)
again reunited myself to the army, and was in
corpoIated into the Dragon Corps, under tn
command OF Majors Riley and Grayham, AM

Of all the epthets applied in this country to a
political party that of British Wings is perhaps
the most ridiculous. But if the Van Buren, party

by such term, why they must Of course receive
It's opposite. If there be British Wing party in
this country, there must also be a British Tory
party. Tory is the opposite Of Wing. The use
of one term supposes the existence Of the other.

them have the benefit of it,

We have before named some fifty Of his prominent
supporters, who are of that character. Mr.. Van
Buren's love of power and dictaton, his series of
measures all tending to strengthen his own posi-
ioD and to enlprge his sphere of action at the ex-
pense of curtailment Of the power and liberty Of
other branches OF the government, are e&nctly
suited to The temper and tastes of the Federaliss

was not flea -bite compared with that portion Of
Mr.. Van Buren's Militia Bill which imposes gag
upon 200, 900 men. The power which the SUB
treasury gives him over the currency of the coun.

Pacha OF Egypt, who commands at will all the specie
in his realm to his own private Golfers, and then
to enrich himself arbitrarily raises the standard
of value ad libitum. There arc other powers exer-
cised or usurped by Mr.. Van Buren,, which tn,

venture on. 1t is the purpose of the Opposition
to check this absorption of power not delegated t,

- GENERAL HARRIsoN's CAPACITY.

u GENERAL IIARRISON'S CAPACITY
Is there any honest searcher after truth, who,
deceived by the bold and unsustained assertions OF
the Administration PRESS doubts as to the sound
ness of General Harrison's mind, or the correct
ness of his views, let him be answered by the
HUNDRED THOUSAND citizens who have so
recently listened to the outpourngs of his vigorous
intellect in the valley of the Miami. How will
the base SANDERS of these vcna organs, reiterated
as they are through the entire length of the pen
stoned chan now sound in the ears of that vast
and enlightened multitude Of freemen |! Will not
their testimony fresh from the latest scene Of his
glorious achievement, confound the reckless propa
gators of the reckless charged We blush for q
cause which rests its strength in such unworthy
inventions. We blush that the energies of the
press, potential for good or evil, should be
welded by minds degenerate enough to attempt,
for party purposes, the destruction of rep
utaton which sheds glory on the early history Of
our republic. Would they not be more pruiitabv
employed in expounding the merits of Martin Van
Buren, On this subject the people require more
light than they have General Harrison stands
in the midst of hundred thousand of his fellow
citizens, and throws open TO them the treasures Of
his mind and the benefits OF his experience.
Where is Martin Van Buren, =? Buried in the
woods, connecting, with Kendall and Blair, the
dark schemes by which he hopes to secure his re-
election, pennng letters which discourse only eva
sion and subterluge, and sacrificing oil public in
terests on the altar Of his personal ambition. Let
his admirers direct the people to single page Of
his history which contains the record of public
service The poverty of his life can supply none
such. We will not compare him with General
