HAYTI-Accounts from Jamaica state that ii is pro-
bable revolution will soon take place with view to
overthrow the desposm which exists under President
Boyer in Hayti.
A gentleman who has visited the latter island in
forms us that the Government, though nominally a
Republic, is in reality military and despotic.
There is Senate chosen for six years, we think by
general suffrage But the people must choose the
Senators out OF the list Of double the number, which
list is selected by the President, who holds his own Of
flee for life.
Notwithstanding this advantage possessed by the
President, the Senate has shown somewhat Ieracto
ry disposition towards him. in which feeling great
majority Of the people participate
PIesident Boyer has become enormously wealthy
by his salary his trade and his exer,ions. His chief
adviser is lngnac Secretary of State, who came near
being assassinaed three years since. Boyer and
lngnac are both mulattoes, are majority Of the
public officers while majority of the people are
blacks. The blacks the most discontinued with
the Government. When Inginac appears horse
back, in public, he has two black men accompanying
him. each side either to appear to favor the
blacks with his confidence deter that class
fom shooting at him lest they should kill one of their
complexion, instead of the object of their hate.

"NIOrFclAL-JoHN TYLER.-We publish to-day
official announcement from the pen Of his Excel
ency, JOHN TYLER, President of the United States
addressed to the Acting Postmaster General, which
in humble opinion, adds another gem to the wreath
of tom ooery and arrant knavislness with which the
brow of this distinguished abstractonist has been
hound by common consent of United America
Lexington (ky) InteHigencer.
Consistency is jewel! p and the above is
specimen of the first water. For the last
twelve years, the Wings have been denouncing
the interference of Office holders in elections
During the late Presidential election, when all
their professed principles and wants were con-
centrated to a few notices emblazoned upon
their banners, none occupied higher or more
conspicuous place than this" No BRINGING
FEDERAL PATRONAGE INTO CONFLICT WITH THE
FREEDOM OF ELECTIONS" So great had been the
abuse of Federal patronage, by interference
with the elections, that Mr.. BELL, late Secreta-
ry Of War, labored session after session to cor
rect it by bill in the House of Representatives.
The Wing party voted for it. Within the last
two years, MIR. CRIrTENDEN, late Attorney Ge-
neral, introduced bill into the Senate, imposing
heavy penalties upon Federal officers interfering
tors, and carried by Wing votes, and the Wing
presses throughout the entire land applauded
the efforts of Mr.. Crittenden and Mr.. Bell TO the
echo. These gentlemen were rewarded both
by Cabinet appointments.
Now when, for once, we have President
thoughtful enough to remember, and homes
enough to carry out the principles he avowed, anc
toredeem the pledges he made before the election
he is a "knave and a tom-fool." Professions
which crowned other men with applause, be
come, when practced by John Tyler, "a wreatf
of tom-foolery and knavishnessp y
What is the just inference TO be drawn from
such shameless and perfdious abandonment
Of repeated pledges Is it not that the mottoe
which blazoned upon every Wing banner, wer
a base and counterfeit language" and tina
they who pointed to il as the honest creed 0
the Wings, are now to be classed with tn
mass of those who promised that they nigh
deceive, and hattcred with the intention to be

THE CABINET AND MIR. SPENCER


IL is minated in one or two Northern papers
that the selection Of Mr.. Spencer for the War
Department was not acceptable to the othermem
bers OF the Cabinet, and that they did not confde
in him.
This charge is wholly destitute Of foundation.
The selection of Mr.. Spencer was hailed by
those who were destined to be his colleagues,
with pleasure and with confidence. They knew
him better, personally and by reputation, than
these assailants knew either At the time of
Mr.. Spencer's selection, there were but two
members Of the Cabinet present in Washington,
both OF whom, TO our personal knowledge, not
only approved of it, but desired his acceptance
Every thing that has since occurred, has proved
their high estimate Of Mr.. Spencer's character,
and led to cordial confding, and useful inter-
course among all the members OF the Executive
Administration.

The Editor Of the Madisonian was brought up in
the wrong school, and his behaviour bespeaks his ed
nestion. He belongs to the Loco Focos. While he
was acting with the Wing party he doubtless felt him
self out Of place. Iiiebat Iitmouse was not whit
more out Of his element while seated at the table OF
Lord DrediingtoD, than was the Madisonan while
acting with the Wing party Petersburg inteiHgen-
We can appeal to distinguished friend in the EN-
pre Stale. When the so called conservatives" re-
solved to defeat Mr. Van Buren, and his Subtreasury
it agreed that the then Administration was dis
eased and corrupted and that dose Of ealomei ought
to be administered. Our friend always regarded the
Wings as the caomel that should purge and restore
the Administration to health, when purified Republic
canism would again resume its sway. The Editor Of
the Petersburg paper, we presume, easily compre-
bends; or is he, like eaIomei, hard 10 take!

statement is in circulation TO the effect that,
son OF the late Secretary of the Treasury, Mr..
Ewing, receiveda very large and extravagant
sum OF money in payment for negotiating por-
ton of the Public LOAN.
In contradicting this charge, we are autho-
rized to State that, the amount Of loan effected
by Mr. p. b. Ewing, was half million Of dol
lars, Tor which he was paid by the Treasury De-
partment one twelfth of one per cent. The
whole amount received by him therefore, in pay
ment OF his services, dwindles down to Sale
sc. This is the sum which has been very un-
justly magnifed into thousands.

residents and strangers. Asarefreshing shower upon
parched ground was the service to this morning

tan bondage and darkness. Indeed could scarce
have conceived that anything Of the kind could have
afforded me so much pleasure. cannot worship salts
factory in Catholic churches here for what with my
inability to sympathize with those of different
ligon and at the time foreigners and strangers
10 me, though believe many of them to be truly de-
vout and the difficulty of manner Of worship in
which Protestant can scarce join, the vast and va
red interior Of most of the old gothic churches dis
tracts my attention Instead Of plain and nearly
inform surface as in most Of our churches in Anne
RIGA there are lofty arches supported by col
umns, affairs and numerous chapels paintings and
sculpture All this may possibly aid the dcvo,ions of
those to whom is familiar and by whom it is under

afternoon, at O'clock heard an excellent discourse
in the English Chapel, Rue Chatillot. II was,of a
practical tendency but in connection with and in IL
lustration of the Oxford divinity which it would seem
has reused The attention of the entire English church
at home and abroad Those far-famed oxford Tracts
must surely have been written with great ability, or
they would not have moved the tongues and pens OF
so many. What a surprising influence a single man
of genius may exert by his pen! In the evening
again, attended at the French Protestant chapel

COURTING OPPONENTS.

One of the most often repeated charges against
Mr.. Tyler is, that he has shown disposition to
court and conciliate the opponents Of the Wings.
This was the charge conveyed in Mr.. Clay
speech in the Senate, in which he drew SO largely
upon his imagination for picture Of the scenes
at the White House. II was repeated in the
Congressional Manifesto, and has since been re-
echoed by the ultra Wing press throughout the
country.
| II is an old maxim that we find fault with 9th
ers for what we ourselves practice without scru-
pie; and another adage IS, that the thought is
sometimes father to the crime These are veri-
fed in the conduct of the assailants of the Pre-
sdent on this subject. The famous handful
calling meeting of the people of Lexington to
receive Mr.. Clay, on his return from the late ses-
sion, contained direct appeal to all parties to
join in doing that eminent gentleman honor and
homage, and in loading with obloquy, curses
and disgrace, the name of John Tyler But the
precedent was furnished, the reader will learn
with surprise, by that very Manifesto which ac-
cused Mr. Ty Ter Of the same offence. Witness
the following extract from that immortal Mani
festo:
Animated by these principles and guided by Pro-
violence, defeat is impossible, and triumphant
inevitable. We may confidently hope that PAST numbers
Of our Jeiioc rho hare been hitherto separated
from us, piH unite with under such glorious
standard; and that aortles in both Houses Of Con-
gress sufficiently large may be secured TO carry any
measure demanded by the welfare of the nation, in
spite Of the nerposi,ion of the power with which any
one man may have been accidentally invested"
They confidently hoped that "vast numbers,
who have been hitherto separated from us, will
unite with u.s. This was direct appeal, made
with confident hope" Defeat was impossible
Yet the same document, contained the following
charge against Mr.. Tyler, which has been one
of the burdens of complaint ever since:
With modification" said they, eve have observed
that his associations more scdulousy aimed free
communion with those who have been busy TO pros
tate purposes rather than those whose principles
seemed be identified with the power by which
| he elected"
They then bethought themselves of "mortify-
ing" the President by committing the same
offence, and accordingly made the appeal above
quoted, and since proclaimed in Kentucky
Whether the President, or these consistent Ma
nifesto Wings, experienced most identification"
from the answer which the people have made TO
their invitation to ''unite" with them, we leave
them to determine at their leisure.
