too many OF our Democratic friends, at
times permit themselves TO be thrown off
their guard, and suffer themselves to be de.
eieved and mislead Tor 4 time, by the hollow

political enimes. But four years hence the
Democracy of the land will again be brought
to act in concert-and whenever this shall
be the case, the fedora! party, are doomed to
Saeet with a Waterloo defeat. The knowing
ones Of the "Whig'' party, fear that their

limited to four years only, hence the ex-

TO THE PUBLIC,

In a publication, lately issued addressed
ITO the Public" and signed by NJ. J. Noyes;
he takes occasion to indulge in a string Of
vulgar coarse, and abusive epi,hets, in rela-
ton to the author Of the pamphlet addressed
to the voters Of Pike Co., writing under the
Signature of "a Voter" The latter part of
the paragraph, indirectly alludes to one of
the three opposing candidates, as being the
author OF that publication; and having no
doubt that it was the object of Mr.. Noyes
to leave the impression upon the public mind,
that am the au thor, take this occasion
to disabuse it Of any such impression. and
thus publicly TO disavow the authorship Of it.
And in justice TO myself, | will here state that
at 4 proper time, ! shall demand of M.
Noyes, an explanation Of the entire para

could their be offered for an evasion OF this
prohibition that is now laid open by estab-
fishing this precedent. If appropriations are
to be made to their families atsthe close OF
an ADMINISTRATION, mo matter whether he be
living or dead0 we see no good reason why
the donation could not be made 10 the indi-
vidual himself as the principle, we conceive
would hold in the one case as well as in the
other. By a successful administration, or
even by the most unworthy means he might
render Congress in a great degree, the plant
instruments of his will, and retire from pub
lie life, enriched by large donation from he
office of the people. Unfortunately for
the economical spirit of our nation, the great
r number of our distinguished civil officers,
especially our chief magistrates have died
either insolvent or in very straitened circum-
stances. Their public services would seem
to lay claims upon the liberality Of the peo-
PIE, and the distressing situations Of their
families would appea! for assistance TO re-
rescue them from their Affections. But when
we reflect upon the consequences Of once
making a precedent Of this character, and
Of the abuses to which il might lead we are
compelled to turn a deaf ear even to the calls
Of humanity and of gratitude. Through
State Governments then let this aid be given
as there would be less danger from the evils
anticipated-and as in them rest the power
and not through the General Governnet as
it would be welding a privilege assiduously
withheld, and which if possessed by it, could
only be exercised 10 tn. detriment of our
institutions. But in the discussion of this
billils advocntesa appear to have lost sight of all
constitutional scruples, and blinded by preju-
dice TO have give way to their charitable
feelings for the family of the deceased pres.
ident, who my be said 10 have died in aflu-
cnce. We think that the hand Of liberal.
ity might have been turned in other direc.
lions towards other objects, who If not so
conspicuous were at least as needful and as
deserving. There are hone who desire
more to see the family Of Gen. Harrison in
the enjoyment Of all earthly blessings than our
selves. still We are unwilling to see the guar
dams Of our treasury, prodigal Of the public
funds towards those who are above the
reach of want. We are compelled however.
to sit with folded arms and see those who bu.

ANCIENT AND MODERN ORATORS.
1t appears that the lessons which Mr.. Clay
must have learned from ancient history have
been but little benefit to him or he would
have profit by the destiny OF the orators
whose vanity taught them to treat the peo-
pie as their property, which they could trans
fer 10 any master whom they might be paid
to serve.
Demosthenes seems to have been the mod.
ell which Mr.. Clay has endeavored TO initiate
and he has chosen a sufficiently sordid ex-
ample. Demosihenes took pay from both
parties to a suit for debt due to the public
Treasury: Mr.. Clay, or the floor Of Congress,
pronounced the United States Bank uncon-
stitutional and dangerous 10 the Liberties of
the country-yet he afterwards became the
hired advocate and supporter Of that Bank.

MOST CRUEL DECEPTION.

We see by our exchange papers that the
mechanics employed a, the Philadelphia Ma
w Yard, have nearly all been discharged.
Thus have the pledges and promises Of the
federal whiys before the election Of "better
times" and 'higher wages" been blown to
the winds. In several instances the ten
hour system adopted under the last admins
~tration, has been repealed and the wages re-
duced besides; being more work at even less
pay! Howgreat was the number Of those
who honestly believed the protesta,ions Of
the federal orators, that change Of rulers
would bring a change in favour of national
and private prosperity; how cruelty they
were deceived, recent circumstances have
fully developed. When will the masses learn
that the leading politicians Of both parties
care only to get office and keep office, no
matter by what means the end is attained!-|
When will they learn sufficiently to respect
themselves as to form a party of their own;
of the industrious many against the indo-
lent few, without regard to old party namcsl
What have they gained by party as hitherto
organized! Whichever party has triumphed
they have only been plundered. cheated and
betrayed; their rights disregarded, their in
terest trodGen under foot. How long will
they continue to be duped and deceived!
