DISCHARGE AT THE NAVY YARD.

1t is with the deepest regret that we have to an
the distressing fact that several hundreds OF
our hardy mechanics have been discharged from en-
poyment at the Portsmouth Navy Yard. Other dis
charges are shortly to follow, which will probably
increase the number of those turned out of employ
ment at moments warning, to nearly if not quite,
THOUSAND MEN
HeIe we have another beautiful instance of reform
under this coon skin Federal Wing Administration ;
another case of Federal Notwithstanding work.
ing into the streets and keeping an army of
dry water droncs under pay while living in idleness
and luxury And this is FEEDER asm-these are the
fruits of " the change" about which such clamor was
raised previous the Presidential election Do not
the " orkngmen now see how abominably they have
been deceived by the Federal pal,y2
The Chronicle omits, perhaps unintentional-
ly, the reason uhy they have been discharged.
1t was simply this: the Clay Wings and Ultra
Locofocos resolved that no appropriations should
be made to pay them. This, too, was intend
ed as blow at the Administration. But it is
nothing 10 what may be expected.
The Madisonian. [volume] (Washington City [i.e. Washington, D.C.]) 1837-1845, 1842-05-31

the want Of capital and credit would effectually
prevent it from going into operation if it were
chartered Then what can be gained by
joining the hue and cry of the Clay faction
against the Administration The great body
of the Wing party agree with the President in
almost every measure recommended to Con-
gress. A Tariff for revenue will afford suffi-
cient protection, incidentally, to satisfy most OF
the Northern manufacturers. The Wings out
of Congress are in favor of the Exchequer. In
truth, there exists no just and sufficient reason
why every honest and patriotic Wing should
not rally to the support OF the Administration
If they do so, (and we think they must) they
may rely upon this fact: the diminution of
numbers caused by the detection and disruption
of the Bank faction, will be more than compen-
stated by accessions from the Democratic party.
The moderate and conscientious portion of that
party are also perfectly willing and ready TO
throw off their ambitious leaders-the Dema-
gogues and Destructives-and unite with honest
men in the work of regenerating the Republic.
We are all AMERICANS, be our party designa
tons what they may. And can there be either
disgrace or dishonor in union of parties, hither-
to at variance, for the good of the whole People,
and the disenthralment of the Government
from the shackles Of unprincipled party lead

GOLD DIGGING IN GEORGIA.

The Milledgeville Recorder of the 17Ih instant
says: "Persons engaged in this pursuit in gold
region have of late, we learn been much stimulated
in their labor in consequence of the handsome profits
they have in many instances recently realized. We
are credibly informed that in the neighborhood of
thousand pennyweights found daily. AT one mine
on Battle Branch there was lately one lump found,
worth, it is said, hundred and twenty eight dol
lars II is supposed, from present prospects, that
there will be at eas, from three TO four hundred thou
sand dollars realised in that section from the pursuit
within the present year. The late success in this bu
sness is drawing tho attention Of many others to it.

MIR. MANGUM.

We have on two or three occasions sacrificed
small space in our columns to a comment on
the course of this Senator from North Carolina
We have paid this tribute to the station he oc-
cupies, not to the politician himself. The OPT
Mons and conduct of the Senator may frequent
ly exert important influences, when the example
of the politician can attract neither abetters MOI
imitators. Linked in action with great men,
copying their acts, and borrowing the ideas and
eloquence which he could not originate, he has
by mere association reached an unmerited emf
nence of reputation and position. On account
of station only we notice his conduct. His
oratory, except on the floor Of the Senate cham
Der, would be harmless. We promised that we
would at some leisure moment CRAFTY his aspi-
rations by giving short biography Of states
man so distinguished. In the mean time, till
that moment arrives, we shall refresh his memo
ny with few detached incidents as memories
pour servir lhistoire.
At this time Mr.. Mangum is understood to
be the mirror which is to reflect Mr.. Clay
greatness in the Senate the instrument that is
to re-echo his principles i; the disciple who is
to promulgate his doctrines; the actor who is to
personate his character, and retain in its pris-
tine vividness the image of the Kentucky Die :
lator before the Senate and the People. Ot
course, Mr.. Mangum's confidence in Mr.. Clay
is now entire and implicit Was it always so 2
The following passage from one of his speeches,
tie whole tenor of which manifests that the
blow is intended for the Lama of his political
idolatry, demonstrates the revolution, the en-
tire change, that his principles and sentiments
have undergone:
~ have lost all confidence in certain part of the
Senate IN reference any conciliatory disposition on
the adjustment of this great and dangerous subject,
(the 1arf.) look to them for nothing. hope
from them nothing 10ish the country Dould say,
it fears fl ON them nothing"
The great and dangerous subject is again to
be agitated. Will Mr.. Mangun's political lit
tleness be SO fattercd by the privilege of play
ing lictor to the Dictator, that he will battle for
high protection, or will he return to his first
love? We fear the result.

TO the Hon. Willie p. Mdngum:

You are State-Rights mani should rather
say you apere such person-but where now
are the principles that guided you in the contest
between Gen. Jackson and South Carolina? Is
there one which you have lately advocated, or
even alluded to? If so, we cannot find them
in the record They are gone-gone
/" like the baseless fabric of vision,
Leaving not wreck behind"
True it is that on leaving college, you COM
menced your career by pursuing the course you
are now following opposition 10 your country s
rights honor and interests but still we were
willing to forgive your youthful ebullitions in ia
vor of Federalism, and in opposition to the war,
and hence, when you were found acting with
Mr.. TYLER few short years since, we had reason
10 hope that you turned from the errors of your
ways Alas for human nature, however, you
wheeled about and jumped Jim Crow in a man.
ner perfectly astonishing and astounding; for
where could contrarieties be found so palpable
to the most superficial observer, as those which
have always existed between Messrs. Calhoun
and Clay? And yet, at one fell swoop, you
quit those with whom you acted, entirely, and
threw yourself into the arms of American Sys-
TENS, United States Banks, and all those corrupt
and demoralizing courses which it has been the
object of a certain leader to inhict upon the
country What has caused this? Is it dispo-
sition to run with Mr.. Clay for the Vice Presi-
dency, having, by assuming his service as
Charley, taken the mantle of Dication? l do
not know, nor do | suspect your motives; and
vet your course has ''an awful squirting" that
way. One thing, however, is certain: your
past course must show your friends that you are
not to be trusted, and mistake much, if the next
election in your State does not show strong in
cIinaton towards the same expression Of opinion.
This, two or three months will determine, and
bide the time in confidence. My only inten-
ton in addressing you, is to initiate the practice
of the day, by delivering course of lectures,
in regard to an expression Of yours, that you
would sooner "tear your heart out" than do that
which fear you are now doing. In talking
with you, shall pursue the course of friend
for think an examination of your own heart
and conscience will prove to you that |
"Extenuate nothing, nor set down aught in malice"
But public servants, like private ones, need an
occasional reprimand; and although | do not
possess the power of competition, where an
shonorabe Senator" is concerned, still, the bee
generally finds out the tender points of larger
animal than yourself therefore give you fair
warning to prepare for stings.
