The CoSTrsT.-We have often heard of the
desperate stakes which the Gambler is led TO
make, when irretricvabe ruin threatens to over
throw him. How reckless Of his own character
how regardless of the reputation and happiness
of his friends. We have been led to To- / upon
the doings Of the present administration in sim
liar light, while we would not Intentionally be
unjust OF "set down augbl in malice
When we look at the rejection Of the five mem.
bers OF Congress from New Jersey we can bu,
regard 1t as a desperate move; as a measure
which would not have been resorted to but in ar
extremity; the passage of the sub treasury bill
was kind Of death struggle; the measure itself
an act of desperation, to strengthen the power of
the executive, by giving him the control of the
resources of the country, and increasing his pat.
ronnge-giving the president power, at his dis.
creton of withholding appropriations, was act
of similar character, Listen to the declarations
of c. p. Van Ness "that Gen. Harrison would
not be suffered TO take the presidential chair IT e.

member of Congress, publicly declaring that the

his case is hopeless. Here he plays his last

and cunning for which he is famous-and though
we trust in the patriotism Of the Empire State
the onset will be tremendous. It appears from
the New York papers that several of the public
vessels are nnderst' cd to have been ordered to

MAJOR EATON OUT FOR HARRISON

MAJOR John H. Eaton, the adopted son Of
Gen. Jackson, and the first Secretary of War
under his administration, has already made
two speeches against Van Buren, and IA favor
of Harrison: one at Unioniown, Pa. and the
other at Wheeling, Va. The Wheeling Times
gives the following sketch Of his speech al
lniOHiown:

ogtaphcr OF Jackson, and eX- minister TO Spain,
delivered very able speech on the 10Th inst.

nounced, ia the strongest terms, the impolitic

part of this grand affair is, that all these ships
are to be men IF uar. The days of nciedu-
~ are over and gone. Matters of fact begin
10 press so siurdily upon the public eye, that
they cannot he resisted If one maritime ma
ton arms with steam ships of war, another
must, or rush into battle under such unequal
force as TO render defeat certain. Nations,
like individuals, in running the race of human
ity, must keep up one with another if they can,
and no efforts will be spared TO maintain their
relative strength and position otherwise, they
fall back into second, third and fourth rate
powers, and are lost in their own inSignii-
canoe. Lightly as this branch of steam nav-
CATION was esteemed by those who have the
control of military armamcnts, il now com
m,nds the highest consideration and the deep
est interest. Much, however, remains TO be
learned. The heights are not 10 be reached
by single effort, but step by step. When
experience shall point out the waste, eXtrava-
gance, and indiscrc,ion of constructing small
ships Of war, the error will be corrected, and
first rate men-of-war will claim the power of
steam. 1t is scarcelyto be expected that stur-
dy habits, the growth of ages should yield at
once to innovation, and Telinquish their hold
upon established systems and well known tao
tics. Time must weaken their force, necessi-
ty mpe, and public safety cry aloud for adc-
quate means of defence, before the desirable
point can possibly be gained. BIT when it is
gained, it will continue so long as war shall
disturb the peace of mankind.
p. 81 understand the lIavre line to New
York is already in allegiance. No capitalists
of sufficient weight united in the object, and
therefore Louis PHILIPPE must take first de-
parture. ! am not surprised at that. The on
ly thing that does surprise me is, the apathy
of my own countrymen.
