Ronish Pope, by which he secured the
Irish vote and other means if posi-
BILE of equal baseness, was SUCCESS
ful in his efforts to reach the presidcn-
cy. Should the Sub-Trcusury become
the law of the land land undoubtedly It
has, or will, although thrice rejected by
The people, who can be mistaken in its
effects upon the freedom of election,
in the hands Of such man as Mr.. Van
Buron, aided by the Kendalls, Bentons,
and Blairs? Can there be any compa-
rison in the risk the people run of
losing their liberties and treasures!"
Ifthe money power is so very dangerous
in the hands of virtuous and response
bic individuals, how infinitely more so
in possession of ambitious, designing,
IunprincipIcd and irresponsible officers,
selected from among the most nrtful
and worthless to be found in the land?
Again, "the Democratic party is in
favor of faithful adhere nee to the
principles adopted, and carried into
successful operation, by the illustrious
Jackson" No one acquainted with
the party doubts it, and should demoe-
racy succeed, all future acts of Con-
gress, passed by less than constitu-
tionsl vote of both houses, not accepta-
BILE to "Me party" however important
to the people, will find tho veto applied,
or if passed by such majority STAYED
off" until the end Of session, to die
by strangulation, as in the case of tho
Specie Circular. What mockcry, these
pretensions for constitutional, or any
other rights, save the rights Of a profi-
cato party, condemned by the voice of
the people, and about to receive their
final sentence. The "signs of the
times" are not to be misunderstood
The clog Cabin" Hard Cider"
boys are moving, and after their great
gathering in the fall, the Father of
Amos children will tremble, not for
his life, not for his liberty, but for the
"spoils." Whatever may be said of
Harrison's victories at Tippecanoe and
Fort Moigs, British nor Tories will
ever dispute Hat one.

DEATH BY EXIIALATION FROM
CORPSES.

A medical journal contains q notice Of a
case in which four bodies had been placed
III tomb ~ a cemetery, into which 1t was
discovered that water had penetrated. Two
sections undertook 10 remove the water and
the dead bodies. From the CONNIE nc me mt
they were struck with the faid odor which
oXhaled from the water, but continued to
work. They had already removed large
quantity of the water and two collins, when,
~ attempting 10 seize the third, their feet
slipped, and the remainder of the fluid was
violently ugita,ed by their fall. One OF the
men Immediately fell lltcless. HIS comrade
made several attempts to raise him, but on
the third effort also fell, deprived of con
sclOusne ss, upon the body Vt his fellow la
borcr. Assistance soon arrived, and the
men were Withdrawn from the tomb. The
first was dead. The second recovered, but
tor month afterwards he suffered from con-
siderable difficulty in breathing, and weak
ness of the legs.
Does not the above facts argue strongly
against burial places within the precincts OF
large cities? One Of the first duties of a
town is TO see that proper rural cemeteries
are eslabllhed, in which 10 bury those who
depart th S life. AS matter of health this
is their duty, TO say nothing of the better
sympothios of the heart being consulted by
placing our departed relations and friends
where nature is dressed in her sweetest
attire Saturday Courier.

A TRUE UsM0CEAT.

THE 4TH OF July was celebrated in
this town with more spirit and interest
than we have known it to be for some
years past. "A cloudy and unpropitious
morn was soon succeeded by clear sky
and sunshine, and nothing seemed want
ing to inspire the patriot, and the friend
Of his country, with all the enthusiastic
feeling which the anniversary of our
Nations Birth Day is, and ever should
be, so well calculated to elicit. An
unfortunate accident occurred however,
which cast gloom over our citizens,
at an unexpected moment. A short
time previous to the moving of the pro-
ccssion it was whispered through the
crowd that the orator (Mr. Lake, hle
Reader, (Mr. Crunston. and the Cler-
gyman, (Rev. Mr.. West,) had been
thrown from carriage on their way to
join the procession, and seriously injur-
ed. The facts were soon ascertained
to be-that as they were returning from
a pleasure ride, in an open carryall to
join the procession, coming off the Hill,
down Levin street, DIETER known as
Mushroom lane, the horse took fright
in consequence ofsome part of his tack
ling's giving way, and ran at the very
top OF his speed through Levin street
into Spring street, bringing up with
tremendous force against fence on
the west side Of Spring street. Mr..
Lake was thrown entirely clear Of tho
carriage, and most providentially un-
hurt--thc driver was thrown from his
seat and also escaped unhurt.-Mr.
Cranston was dashed against and r.
cross the icncc-his clothes torn and
rent in tho most astonishing manner
the carriage which was much injured,
lying partly upon him. With the eX-
ception of the terrible shock, bone put
out in one of his wrists, and some bad
bruises, he was comparatively uniniur-
cd, and was again ready in due time to
attend to the duty assigned him on the
occasion. n.-But tho Rev. Mr.. West, we
regret to say, did not escape so iortu-
nately as the others. While the car
riagc was under full hoadway, aud be-
fore it turned the corner at the foot of
Levin street, he lenped from his scat
and came to the ground with such force
as to dislocatc "a bone in one of his an
cles and sprain the other foot, beside
otherwise injuiing and bruising him
very severely. lie was taken up by
the anxious lookers-on in Levin street,
and carried into a hospitable dwelling
near by, where he received the kindest
treatment previous to his removal 10
his own house, where he is, we are
happy TO state, though still very lamo
and sore, in fair and rapid way Of re-
covery, and we dare say under all the
circumstances, thankful it was no
worse. The Reader having exchang-
cd his shattered garments, and tho
Orator somewhat recovering from tho
shock, the Rev. Mr.. Ninton was sent
for to supply the place of the Rev. Mr..
West, and but lille more than half an
hour had elapsed before the procession
was ready aud moving, under escort Of
the Newport Artillery, Col. Swan, to-
wards the Church. The procession

THEORY VS.. PRAcrIcE.-Mr. Benton, in
one of his pamphlets against The proposed
bankrupt law, said:
"Within the las, 81 years we had import.
I'd IG6 mi lions of gold and silver ninety
odd millions within the Jas, seven years
while in that period there had been coined
at our mint fifteen millions in gold, and
like quantity in silver. What had become
of tins immense mass of gold? 1t wus no
where To be seen. Travel n thousand miles
ovor the country and you would not see
piece as large as your thumb nail but III It's
stead you have piece Of dirty papcr--vile
trash the very appearance OF which was
enough To generate the Asiaiic cbolcra~-
Where, then, was this gold? lie could tell.
Large portions Of it wcIe melted by these
gambling banks to make presents of splcn-
did services Of plate; yes, these swind'ing
institutions sent II 10 tho nobility OF Eng land,
to pay foreign debts, while they laughed il
the faces of the note holders a, home"
Aye" he could" indeed, "tell!" And
he could tell much more than he has told as
to the disposition of portion, at least, OF
the gold which he says has SO swiftly disap.
peared. Witness the following paragraph
from the Madlsonian, published ut Washing.
ton, which Mr. Benton has not vcnlured to
contradict, although published a fortnight
ago.
ave charge the fac, to be, and stand
ready to prove IL, that Mr. Benton himself
has sold the gold which he has received this
session Of Congress, to the amount of ten
or eleven hundred dollars at one time. for
deprecated paper money which hc calls Ill
thy rags, pocketing the premium OF ten per
cent at that time, aud thus doing the very
thing winch lie dcnounces."-.E y Com
