TO TIE OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES MEN,

TO TIE ORIGINAL'JA JACKSON MEN,
The Editor of the Pilot would ask the sincere
and ardent Democrats, the honest laboring
men who supported the election of General
Jackson, because they believed him to be
honest. and who were opposed to building up a
power at Washington to control elections, 10 read
Gen. McTllvaine's letter. Does he not speak
home to your own feelings? Does he not say
what you have been often tempted 10 say? Re-
member the motto under which you rallied
"Power is always stealing from the many to the
few" And do you not see now that all the pow
er has been stolen from you, and gathered up in
to the hand Off P. Blair and few others, who
were forced into the Jackson ranks at the last
hour? Mr.. Van Buren, himself stood back I'M
til he found that Mr. Adams would not send him
10 England. If you will look into the ranks of
the present administration party, you will lind
that many of the leaders are men who were OPP
posed to You then, and are opposed TO you
now. in principle and feeling. What re-
mains for you to do, but to come out from
among them, and rally with your old friends who

Benneu's Herald is out upon the manifesto
Of the young Wings Of New York. and
charges the defeat of the Wing ticket TO
one of the cliqaes of Wall street, and calls
upon the original friends of Harrison to or
game and go upon their own hook. From
this it would seem, that although the Herald did
get the patronage of the Post Office, it takes TO
itself no part of the credit for bringing about the
result in the late election. We confess, howe
yer, that when we saw so large an advertisement
coming from quarter which makes the most Of
its patronage, we felt some desire to see what
was to follow. To the original friends of the old
Hero, we would say, let there be no strife among
us-let us be all united for the sake of our cause.
DISGRACEFUL.-The Globe Of Monday night
has an article complaining of circular contrasting

The committee appointed TO award premi-

ing report:
Like the shepherds Of antiquity, your
committee feel themselves honored in having
charge of a flock Of sheep. We have never
felt any Of that antipaihy for this useful and
inofensive animal, which induced a distin.
guished southern gentleman to say that he
would go a mile out of his way to kick a
sheep. On the contrary, we have always
entertained feelings Of kindness towards this
humble, though very warm friend of man.

acknowledging our dependent relation to
them rs the receivers OF their cast of gar
ments to cover our nakedness and protect US
from the cold.
Ia its wild or savage state, the sheep is said
to be the bold, courageous, and fleet animal,
able to oppose and defend itself against other
animals Of its WI size, or to escape by flight
from those Of superior strength. 1t is a pro.
blem that has not yet been solved, how the
art Of man should so change its nature and

ness. As an explanation of this paradox,
your committee would merely allude to the
fact, that the ancient shepherds b~eguiled the
hours, while tending their flocks, in perform
ing on the harp or Tyre some soft and simple
strains Of music: which fact affords a CON-
explanation, according to a principle
laid down by the celebrated Montesquieu,
that soft and plaintiff music diminishes the f.
rocity and boldness of a ~people-unless, in
deed, some good reason can be given why
the same principle will not apply to sheep
which that learned writer has applied to men.

ascertain whether, with this change which
las taken place in the character of the sheep,
here has been a corresponding change 10 its
