At that, uncle Joshua rolled up his eyes at me,
and puckered the corners of his mOuth as if he
was half laughin, and says he,
e|Joel, man that's been about the country as
much as you have, ought to have more sense
than that. Squire Biddle's bank has been out of
the government this long time, but things has
kept growing worse and worse all the time, and
it's quite too late now to shoulder it off on to
Biddle's bank."'
"Wen," says l, ''uncle, after all your talk,
you haven't brought up single thing yet against
Mr.. Van Buren, or his government, and until you
can do that, think you ought to be in better
business than to be coming out against him."
"Thcre's one fact alone" says uncle Joshua,
.Ethats enough tosatisfy me that things amt right
at head quarters, and that is, the expenses OF
carving on the government. About dozen

thirteen or fourteen millions of dollars year,
and now they've got up to bettoeen thirty and

to think there was some truth in it.
You must recollect, when Mr.. Van Buren, was

as Minister, to the same Court, the Senate would
not confirm the appointment. Mr.. Van Buren,
was recalled, which displeased Gen. jackson so

| Notwithstanding the extent to which the sys
tenn OF pr description, for opinions sake, has been
carried out, it appears there still remain some
few who have hitherto escaped its blighting
influence These are now to bend under the
rule OF the "spoilsmen and plunderers," unless
they promptly give in their adhesion and pledge
themselves increasingly to fscharge" upon the
'Senemies" of Van Buren, * Co.
There Is, besides, every reason to believe that
this rule is not to be confined solely to those I'M
der the employ of the administration; bat is to
be applicable in all their intercourse and deal
ings, with their fellow-citzens, of all classes,
with degree of vigor not heretofore praLtised
The whole federal destructive party have deter
mined to apply the scre1os, as Che last resort to
aid them in the accomplishment of Van Buren's
| designs.
We are perfectly aware that, generally speak
ing, the federal destructiyes gave encourage
ment to, or employed any mechanics or laboring
men, but of their own stamp, and were ever on
the alert in seeking for and securing Jobs FOR
their loco foco friends, among their political OPP
ponents, whilst honeyed words against proscrip-
ton, distilled from their glib tongues, and their
journals falsely charged the Wings with prac-
Using it. very different kind of policy, how
ever, was pursued by the Wings.
Opposed as we are, and ever have been, to the
blighting system of prescription, as a heartless
and cruel measure of man against his fellow
man, the federal destructives should not presume
too much upon the continued forbearance of the
Wing party. The loco-focos must either aban-
don it-and that would be in violation of general
orders from head-quartcrs-or submit to the Lee
tatioHis,-the law of retaliation,
As Van Buren's decree has gone forth, through
the medium of his faithful eslireling" and mouth
piece, Kendall, to sscharge upon his enemies
the enemies of Democracy--si his despotic
grasping of the sword and the purse has been
legalized, Van Buren, is to be considered by the
faithful as the very persenation Of the embodied
democracy;-and, since the issuing of that de-
cree, Confidential" orders have been also pro-
mulgatod to carry the plan into full effect, in
private or social relations; let the federal dcs-
tructives be admonished that ti0o can play at
that game.

have not followed it into its hiding places. Re-
cent movements in the Navy Yard, at Brooklyn,
betray part of the administration system-al-
though but small part. 1t is carried into the
most uncomfortable affairs of life.
There is worthy man and good Wing, by
the name of Underhill, boot and shoe maker,
800 Pearl street. An officer of his MaJesty's
Customs, called on him a week or two since, to
purchase a pair of boots. lie had fitted himself
to a pair, and had agreed upon the price, when
his eve lit upon an embellished sheet recording
the principal achievements IN the lille oil General
HARRISON.
His Majesty's servant paused for a moment,
and thought on the Sub-Treasury, and Hard Mo
new wages for the office-holders, and MIR. Wood
bury's paper money for the people. He drew off
his boots, and, indicating significantly to Mr..
Underhill that he was of another political parish,
coolly replied, 'eI cannot trade with you, sir"
and left the shop.
This is fortunately game that both sides can
play at And if it is carried out to this extent,
by His Maiestys servants, it becomes the friends
OF the people to look about them. The whole
present question before us is one of the Crown
against the Country-and the Wings go for the
| Country, the office holders for the Crown.

fore our readers another letter from the vertabic
SERGEANT Joel Downing, who, it seems, after hav-
ing lived with old General jackson, has been
sent out as one of his travelling missionaries to
electioneer for Van Buren,. He has promised us
a regular weekly letter, from which we hope to
learn much that is going on in the ranks of the
party, that will be interesting to our readers.
g. Since our notice of the proceedings of the
Convention at Easton written out, we
learn, that after she Baltimore Delegation left,
MIR. Gales addressed the Convention, and that it
was not dissolved until late at night
In addition to the resolutions adopted by the

been added a resolution requesting their publica-
