MR.. WEBsTER'S "NEW BOOKS"

we will open a set of new books" said Webster,
just as the Reforming economsing FederaslS go
ing into power. On the last page of the old 6Ooks,
kept by Van Buren, eco, is account of some six
hundred thousand dollars whck is marked for the use
Oft the book keepers. On the same page is the
following memorandum:
''The Government has promptly met every demand
which has been presented upon the Treasury during
the last year.. LEVI WOODBURY..
What is in the new books. the public have not yet
been informed, but their contents will be known, when
the people are called to foot the bills no doubt At
any rate, we will anticipate the bills, by publishing the
National debt which we find in the Statesman extrac>
ted from address to the people of Virginia. It is
enough TO convince any ofthe prohisacy and un>
fitness OF Whigery for power.
Fellow ctzensl would call your attention to the
economy of this pure and uncorruphbLe administration
In thirteen months this administration has created
debt, some say Of TWENTY MILLIONS of dollars!!
The wings acknowledge it to be fourteen mliOnsl So,
to be within bounds we will take the latter sum.
Fourteen millions Of dollars IN thirteen months will
be ST. O76. .923 in one month,
$l076 1923 per month will be $35 s97 per day.
$35, 1897 per day will be 81 495 per hour.
81. .495 per hour will be 81 A per minute. .
Thus by actual calculation we find that this people
loving, money saoing administration has increased the
debt for the time they have been in power

ORGANIZATION OF ANOTHER PARTY

Preparations are now making in New York for a
public meeting, having similar object to that which
was held in this city on Monday night last the or
ganzation Of party that will give its support to the
present administration of the General Government.
There are indications that an extended organization
will be formed over the whole country, The uitras
of both parties attempt to prevent it, but If 1t IS car
red into effect it will be found to embrace greater
number of persons than either Of them have any idea
of. There is great body Of men in the United
States who do not figs end for either of the
two existing political parties All they want to see
is government plant itself upon sound principles,
when it will receive their hearty aid and support.
Enough has been sacrificed to sustaining party it is
time to look to country and its prosperity
Phil. Ledger
The Administration party will be union of
all honest men for the sake Of the Republic.
We verify believe that the time is at hand for
all true citizens to throw away their partisan
badges, and rally like band of brothers under
the broad banner of their common country Let
Democrats and Wings, who have been quarrel
ing for so many years, at last join hands on the
compromise ground, prepared by patriotic
President for the peace and welfare Of his coun-
try. He has provided place Of rest for both
parties-for all parties-and if they prefer quiet
ude and prosperity to endless warfare and con
tinual distress, they have only TO rally around
him and support him in his noble exertions to
allay the dscord that has so long convulsed the
Union.

ADAMS-WIsE

we heard many years ago that Mr.. Adams
prided himself on the fact that he had ntently
studied the subtleties of Thomas Aquinas, and
no doubt he is impressed with the idea that he
has imblbed from The study an ample share of
the acuteness of that once celebrated writer
The fondness for paradox which he frequently
exhibits, and the ingenuity he manifests occa
sionaly in defending it, prove at all events that
his time was not entirely thrown away in his
perusa of the prince of the schoolmen. Who,
for instance, in this country, would have been
found besides Mr.. Adams, to vindicate the Eng
lish in their war upon China, and what head be-
sides his could have concocted the arguments
by which he maintained his proposition? This
is but one sample Of the singulanty of his con-
troversial talent. He scarcely ever rises on the
floor of the House of Representatives without
furnishing new specimens Give him but q
proposition to advocate his acuteness will find
some argument; show him an object to be
gained, and his tact, backed by the forbearance
OF the House, will enable him to reach it, No
matter how disconnected topic may be with
the matter under consideration he will spy out
some thread associating them together-and
subjects, no matter how irrelevant, will be forced
into discussion.
The obstinate perseverance howev er-giyen
HIM by nature--in efforts to attain his objects
IS a far more prominent feature in his character
lhan his acquired logical astuteness Repetition
OF repulses seem but to renew his energies-foil
him fifty times. and without any symptoms OF
encouragement, he will make the fifty first at.
tempt But the spirit of rancorous hostility
which seems to animate him against almost ey-
cry opponent, and to communicate activity "a
his obstnacy, is his worst characteristic. He
is not, we must believe, so malevol,nt as :,
wound or irrtate without an object-but let him
perceive the object, and he seems not to hesitate
about the adoption of the means Respect 70,
the feelings OF others or regard TO his own con
sistency, are trodden under foot with equal in
difference. The petition praying for his reno
val from presiding over the Committee of For
eign Relations, Mr. Habersham said, was, in hi
opinion, a hoax. Refusing all Difference to tn,

TYLER MEETING In PHlI.ApEL Pill a

| No doubt, many of our readers feel surprise tina,
Tyler and Administration meeting could be got up
at all in Philadelphia. This, however, is but an in
dication OF the deep and strong feeling that will
pervade the whole country, for in tie eyes OF
those who once thought the President was wrong
| Congress now appears in the wrong.
| The President, early in December submitted to
Congress the condition of the country, and his Ex
chequer plan for the creation Of currency. While
the Government credit has been mmeasureably suf
iering, by bills protested and bills unpaid Congress
has not In seven weeks yet provided the necessary
ways and means for carrying on the Government
| and the plan for the creation OF currency even
Wing Senators have arrested with CONTEMPT and rdi-
cule
In all this, no matter how Congressman reason in
Washington, the country thinks the President in the
right, and the Congress in the wrong.
The scenes in the House of Representatives, too,
disgust the country. The tone of morals and cha
racter there is below that of the country. Our com
mon w ard meetings even in the purlleus of the Five
Points, present no such dsgracefu spectaclcs now
| The men that mingle in them behind the intei
gence and responsibility Of the country - and all oil
this adds dignity to the position of the Executive and
dimnshes the moral power OF the legislative depart
ment.
MIR. Tyler, then, is carrying with him and his Ad-
mlnlsration not only large portion OF the Wing
! party, certainly in this part of the Union but many
very many respectable men of the opposition party
/ Thus IN Philadelphia, the American Sentinel a pa
| per in the interests of the State Administration and
supposed to be strong exponent of its feelings there
says OF the late Tyler meeting, whose proceedings it
publishes
An attempt was made during the evening to break
up the meeting-which was, no doubt premedltated
and caused some little confusion but il was un-
successful The proceedings ale moderate in their
tone but decided in appreciation of President Tylers
measures and the Exchequer bill Among the reso-
utons adopted, we notice one, complimenting in high
terms the late message of Governor Porter, and in
favor of a resumption of specie payments.
