From Ghe Neiv HdUen Palladium THE CRY IS-STILL THEY COME.

tSutHIller sun. 1ne van DUTCH COIllIIlIlteS OI Vigilance in Union township, Ohio, have come out in body and proclaimed their withdrawal from the Destructives, giving at the same time some excellent reasons there- for, one of which is that they cannot any longer support q party whose golden policy is to make the rich, richer, and the poor, poor er." The card is signed with twelve names. The Belmont (Ohio) Chronicle contains a similar communication from sir members of the Van Buren committee of Vigilance for the town of Colerain, Ohio. The Ohio Re- pository of the 18th inst. contains the names of forty- seuen Germans who have seeded from the monarchial Democracy of the Ad- miniStration.
 Col. James Taylor, of Newport, Ky, who was one of the most influential supporters of Van Buren at the last election in that State, has taken the stump in favor of General Har- rison.
 Gen. Gaines, ofthe Army, gave the follow ing toast at New Orleans; recently :-" Be- lieving William Henry Harrison will follow the footsteps of George Washington, desire that he may be elected President of the Uni ted States.''
 B. r. Burton, Esq, Editor of the Pulaski (Tenn) Republican, hitherto warm admin istration paper, now talks in this fashion {: l (So we go)
 "For several years past, we have been a warm political friend of Mir. Van Buren, and an ardent supporter of his administrations It is true we saw the portentous clouds of embarrassment and distress lowering over the land. and the blasted hopes of a people once roting in all the luxuries of indepen- dent prosperity. It is true, wehad witnessed the paralyzing shock which credit, the main- spring of our national prosperity, had sus- | tninnd md tha oonca0uonf f0cc 0f confidence between man and man, in all the operations of daily busness-but we ascribed them 10 other causes than a mal-admnistration of the General Government; and closed our ears to every thing calling into question the correctness and salutary influence of Mir. Van Buren's policy. We ever warred against contrary convictions that were fast forcing themselves upon us, and brought to our aid every weapon we could use, both of reason and sophistry, to resist the impress sions which daily observation and undispu- ted facts were continually making of the in- correctness of the policy and course of the administration. But the time has come when theory must yield to FACTS, and sophistry to reason; and when pe can no longer close our eyes to the atal connection betueen the present ad nainistratiOn and the prostrate condition of IN- DusTRY and TRADE! And having never cloaked our sentiments and feelings, or con- scented to act the part of hypocrite, we now as freely disclose our honest convictions in the general e0r'ec."ss' iAe principles et Me
 By those who rush with hcadlong zeal in the advocacy of their cause, irrespective of candor, or proper regard for the feelings of others, and who are incapable ofapprecia- I ting that honessy and -independence which will acknowledge an serror. we expect to be assaiIed and abused. Be it so. We are pre-. I pared for it
 We ayail ourselves of the present occasion to say, that beliegisag ihe best interests of the poIicg of tho administration of the General Government, and that it cannot be success fully effected without Q change of men, we l shall udgoente the claIms of the distinguish l ed Hero and Statesman of Ohio, WILLIAM E HENRY HARRISON, for the next Presi- deney, and the talented disciple of the school of Jefferson, JOHN TYLER, of Virginia, for the Vice Presidency. B. F. BURTON. | J. Q. Adams.-Singular as it may appear, l this worthy and venerable old statesman, ranks at the head of the hard tcorking men at Washington. He grapples with more labor. cndures more fatigue, is in attendance in the House more hours than any other member
 
 1 tedious and protracted. They often contin- uc during the whole night, and the morning finds the flag upon the Capitol still thrown to | the breeze. The day having been spent in idle declamation and frivolous disputes, the business which happens to be urgent, is pressed upon the attention of the Represen- latives after nightfall. The scene, when the members become weary and exhausted, is novel enough. The splendid hall, with its magnificent marble pillars supporting dome of surpassing beauty and loitiness, il- luminated with glare of artificial light, is spectacle of more than ordinary richness and splendor. The members are exhausted with labor, or overcome with sleep. But few are occupying their desks. Many have retired to their homes. Others are in the re- factories below Some are stretched upon the sofas b1ck of the members seats, in per- feet ncOnsciousness--while others hang their heads over the back of contiguous chairs in forgetfulncss and repose. In the meantime some member is speaking against time, and nobody seems to listen or regard his windy utterance. Where are members of the House! They are not there, tho young, vigorous, the healthful but MT. Ad-1 ams is in his seat, unremitting in his atteR. dance upon his legislative duties. Although the Ex-President lives a mile from the Capi. tol, he is the earliest at his post and the last to desert it. Always watchful. yet apparent ly indifferent Ever upon his guard, yet never seeming to be vigilant-he is the mos, unwearied and diligent man 10 be be found in our national legislature. Mir. Adams is small, rather diminutive in stature. His face indicates little else than an inquiring, meek expression, when in repose, but t is
