Virtue, the Arts and Sciences. the gigantic
growth of mans mind, all are deeply INFER
ested in The issue, and il should be The de-
lighllul duty Of all patriots to advance and
expedite that event. Let, then, all unite in
Kidding the pathway of that country, Of all
retarding obstacles, and Danish forever from
our shores, that false motto, set up by cupi-
dity, viz. /" Welcome, We of all classes and
all climcs." The parties. then, of different
doctrines, will become patriotic and moi Office
seeking, and but one star will light them in
their combas, ~ the good Of their common
and original molher--their own native land"
Werepeat that we enter into no feelings Of
partizanship bu. are obeying the strict in
functions of the Native American Constilu-
ton, which declares, h" We will not hold him
guiltless of his country's wrong, who prefers
the foreigner to the native" Let any man
dare to tamper with these hordes Of aliens,
and the voice Of the American press " i'll be
raised against him, whether Van Buren,, or
Harrison, or any other man, ambitious of his
country's honors.
1t is unfortunately natural that foreigners
should seek the aid Of those who can furnish
them with Offices and such is the phrenzy
of pirty warfare, that all parties are eager TO
attach to their interests the floating hordes Of
criminals, who flock to us from Europe. Il
is only the accident of power that attaches
them to the "ins," and arrays them against
the "outs,' and let a change Of administration
take place when it may, without repeal of
the Naturalization Laws, and the party sue
ceeding will be courted by these foreigners,
and SO on until their super-preponderating in.
fuence will make the American Government
but the play thing Of knaves and the banquet
Of villains.
In view of all this, we ask, will not our
patriotic citizens support the papers sincere
ly devoted TO their feelings, their rights, and
their interests? We ask, and hope to re.
ceive it.

OBSERVATIONS ON "THE DIFFUSION OF
KNOWLEDGE AMONG MEN"


Suggested by The Terms, &C.. Of Inc Smith
sonian Bequest
Whatever difference Of opinion may be
entertained relative to the object of the
Smithsonian Request, which provides for
"the diffusion Of knowledge among men,"
we may gather this fact. that the main in
|tcnton of the testator was the selection of
the most efficient agency in the accom-
Enlistment Of the end he had in view.
The agency he wished to employ were
the people of the United States, and he
addresses the Congress only as their or
gan. He is not careful to settle the ques-
ton us to the character Of the knowledge
Ito be dilfused the institutions of our free
Governments are to him sufficient guar
|anty that wholesome, moral and intellec-
|tual nutriment can alone be diffused I'M
der their sanction.
Had lie endowed college in Europe,
he well knew that any knowledge which
might emanate from it would be mono
|polized for the use of the aristocracy, and
not adia'used among men," or, if difused,
|tinctured with doctrines adverse to the
happiness Of the human race.
Had the bequest of Smithson been COM
mitted to any power in Europe, the intell-
|tions of this testator in diffusing knoWl-
ledge among men must have been frustra-
ted. II would in no case, it could not in
accordance with the royal, noble, or epis-
copal pretentions, be SO applied as TO en-
list the general enterprise of the people III
1.-THE promotion Of his object. 1t is foreign
to the policy Of any class possessing pow
Ter in any of those countries TO enighten
the people; because it is denied generally
in all of them, that the powers exercised
by their rulers are derived from the people.
Onthc contrary, in these United States,
it must be the natural desire of me rulers
TO afford to the people every tNcility Of ac-
|quiring knowledge; and this being well
known to this benevolent man, he wisely
appointed the most efic lent and hearty
agency upon earth for the diffusion of
knowledge among men.
The people Of America are therefore
looked to by the whole world with the
most thrilling interest. Great is the re-
sponsibility devolving upon them. 1t is
written in legible characters upon all their
institutions, "'This people is not governed
by force, but by their attachment to the
principles of law and order; by their de-
votion TO truth, justice and right reason"
knowledge is essential to the security of
these hallowed institutions. The mistakes
|ofgovernment cannot be Of long duration;
|sordid interests acting partially Oh differ
ent sections Of the great domain, or on
different portions OF the people, will not
long continue to disturb the just equili
brium of the governments, if the people
will only advance in the acquisition Of
knowledge.

Dear Sir; | hear you have formed a
Tippecanoe Club in Columbus, and have
resolved that Mississippi shall tell quite a
different tale next November than she did
at the last Election. The wings of Column
bus Rave only to resolpe and their end
viii be gained. The only reason why
"Old Lowndes'' was SO long under Locofo-
co dynasty is apparent, There was no or
ganization, and too much regard was paid
to persons when Principles were at stake
The Locofoco MOTTO, "erery thing for party
and nothing for men, having been adopted
by the Wings of Lowndes, secured the e.
lection of your Representatives,. Let the
same be your motto next November and
Mississippi will go for the PEOPLES cANDr-
DATES, HARRISON and TYLER.
! am happy to inform you that the County
of Mobile is sound to the core, and that she
win do as well next August as she did in
January last. The people have opened their
eyes to the corruptions Of Government; to
the inevitable effect of the Sub Treasury
scheme; and feel that change Of Rulers
is the only hope for the salvation of the
country. The recent scenes in this City;
have disguised many of the more decent Of
the locofocos, and they will remain inactive
or win join the wing ranks, feeling cen
WINGED that any change win be for the bet
ter. The more particular "Scene" that
would call your attention to, was enacted
in this City on the arrival ofthe news from
New-York, that the deSfructiues had moi lost
any thing. The Locofocos Of this city called
meeting at the Court house, fred cannon
and all that and spent delightful evening.
"When The liquor Is IN, The oitis out" is an
adage too true to gainsay, and was illustrated
on this occasion. After the meeting at the
court house, they adjourned to the aRemans'
and took a drink, and this was thought to be
the finale of the affair, but, like an old friend
of mine, while drinking some glorious cham
pagne,-sthe aoi1ae made him fhirstu'',-so thew
kept on drinking. Not being satisfied with
the meeting, the cannon. and the liquor, how.

From the Louisville Journal.
The spoilsmen came down like wolf on
the fold.
And their train bands were rev'hng in
i'll gotten gold,
And Benton's hoarse howl on the gale
did resound
Like the deep deadly yell Of the blood
seeming hound.
Like leaves of the forest when summer
rs green
In the year "thirty nine" their bought ban
ners were seen,
Like leaves of the forest when autumn
hath blown
In March shorty one" they lay withered
and strown.
For freedoms proud bird spread his wings
on the blast,
And the breath of his wrath laid them
low as they passed,
And the eyes OF the Vanites grew deadly
and chill,
And Sub Treasures legs forever grew
still.
And there lay sad Amos distorted and
pale
With curse on his lip and a grip on
the mail,
And the wall of the scullions is loud in their
wo,
The "footstep" is vanished, the follower
laid low,
And the popular might hath the spoiler ex-
plunged,
The might of the freeman hath freemen
avenged
And there lay Calhoun with his nostril all
wide,
And the "Galvanized corps" lay stark by
his side.
And there lay "poor Pickin" and Duncan
hard by,
With the Globe in his hand and drop in
his eye,
And the kitchen was silent, the cabinet flown
The cravat of the humbugger hung there
"alone."
