What has this Fleming Livingston done, that
he a native born citizen of this State, should
have his acsh torn from his bones at the beck OF
Naval Court Martial, sanctioned and approved
by President Van Buren,? Where or when did
he forfeit the common claims of humanity and
the common rights of an American cltizenf-
What awful crime has he committed, that he
should be subjected to this awful punishment
1t is said that he is mutineer? This term has
become strangely vague and comprehensive
What are the facts We will relate them as
they have been stated to us, and the truth oil
which we have no reason to doubt.
Some few months since this Livingston,
common sailsr on board the U. S. frigate Mace
DOMAIN, cruizing on the West India station, was
sent ashore with couple of MidshipmeH. To
one of them he used disrespectful language, and
received blow with the tiller Of the boat, for
his insolence. In a moment ofpassion, he COM
mitted personal violence upon the midshipman,
and threw him overheard but without doing him
any serious injury. Fer this, he was put ia irons
and sentenced to death by naval Court Mar
tial, and subsequently reprieved and sent home
in the sloop of war Ontario. On board OF this
vessel his conduct was less circumspect ana res
pectful than it should have been. There again
| he was Knocked down by one of the officers and
returned the blow. For this last offence, the
Court Martial tried him and imposed the SEN
tence inflicted upon him yesterday. Livingston
was unguesti onably guilty Of disorderly conduct
both on board the Macedonian and Ontario. He
deserved punishment-but he was entitled to the
punishment of freeman, not that of slave-ot
a man, not that of dog
The whole system of personal chastiscment IS
| wrong in principle, and injurious in practice
1t brutalizes and dcgrades the spirit of our sea-
men and soldiers. 1t is contrary to the genius OF
Republican institutions 1t is violation of matt

vet to see it altogether abolished.

partnent, and placed IN the Bank Of the United
States. were used to sustain the commercial and
manufacturing interests east of the mountains,
the blow fell most heavily upon the West, and
they suffered without the sympathy of their east
ern brethren. Now, the question is general. 1t
begins at Philadelphia, and extends throughout
the Union, with this diference:-that the opera
ton of the specie circular was to strengthen the
West, pretty much in the same way, although
not to the same comparative extent, that the
operation of the Treasury of the United States,
in 1919, added to the East, through the Bank OF
the United States. Mr.. Cheves's policy, through
the Bank of the United States, was precisely the
policy of the Sub Treasury, under MIR. Wood
bury. 1t was to reduce every thing to the specie
basis, and by contracting when he should have
expanded his discounts; by holding on to the
resources of the Bank, when they should have
been literally used, he increased the panic and
macnifed the distress which he could have re-
lieved In both cases the evil is traceable to the
Treasury of the United States, and to the OPP
pressive and unjust exercise of the money power
Of the Federal Government.
These remarks are important to show that the
Gscal action of the General Government has an
important bearing upon the business of the coun-
try, and that we should hold the Administration
reacy. 1 will hereafter show more in detail,
how the present calamity has been produced by

THE wings VICTORIOUS-MO
EIECTED

BY the steamer Brian Boroihme, arrived last
night, the returns from the parishes of Claiborne
and Caddo are received. The result is, that
Moore, the Wing candidate for Congress is elect
ed by majority of SIS votes. This is for the
Wings a glorious termination of the contest
The Loco Focos put forth their utmost strength,
having the advantage of popular candidate,
and all the benefit which the manufacture of
votes and efficient electioneering could give.
But the will of the people was too strong for
them, and signal defeat has rebuked their eff
forts. The majorities of Winn were in the par
ish of Claiborne 142, Caddo g. The three par
ishes Of Union, Caldwell and Ouchita gave Winn
a majority of 1873, making an aggregate majority
for him in the five parishes of three hundred
and twenty-three. A deduction of this amount
from the previous najorities of Moore brings
him out SIS ahead
The result, however, must not be taken as
criterion of the election in the fall Many Wings,
influenced by local interests and personal preju-
dices, voted for Winn. In the same district,
Harrison's majority may be estimated at 700. In
the parish of Claiborne, Friend, Locofoco, was
elected to the lower House, by majority of "a.
The parishes of Natchitoches and Caddo, also
send two Locofocos to the House, Edwards and
Morse.
