Our Country.

The true friend of his country and its insiitu.
tons, must at the present time feel deep in
terest for It's welfare. At peace with all The
world, our land teeaing with agricultural and
mineral wealth, and our population Industrious
and enerprising. we are, as nation and peo-
pie, on the verge OF ruin.
Is it the fault of our system Of Government,
or Constitution No, for j, has always been
considered, and is TO this day, model of Gov
ernment, and The perfection of constitutions.
Does the fault rest OH the people? Assuredly
not. | leave it to every discerning mind, let
him be Whig or Democrat, Tyler man or loco
foco, if these things are not true, and let him
look around and devise means for our regenera-
tion He will naturally look back few years
to the presidential term Of the talented J. Q.
Adams, and he will see that the country was at
that time in a state ofperfect prosperity Com
merce, agriculture and manufactures were flour
ishing, and the people were prosperous and
happy-money was plenty, (and it would pass.)
National and State Legislatures met, passed
laws, they were approved, and they adjourned
there were no bankruptcy or stay laws, for
they were not needed. But like the old wo-
man and her goose, the people were not salts
fed with the golden eggs, the axe was laid at
the root of the tree, and its branches and leaves
have been witbering ever since. No one that
has proper yiew-of these things, whose eyes
are not filled with the dust of party spirit, can
see otherwise. At that time, we had Nation
al Bank and protective Tariff, and until those
two important laws are again passed, we shall
have distress in all its various forms. | will
not at present go into a review of The cause of
the present state filings, they are well known.
We must look at effect, and laying all party
spirit aside, look at the condition Of the coun-
try during the administration of j. Q. Adams,
contrast it with the present, and draw your own
conclusions. For my part, have always been
a Democrat, and supported the regular Jackson
and Van Buren, ticket, but the time has come
TO open ones eyes; and when distress comes
home, stares his neighbor in the face, and stalks
through the length and breadth of the land, il is
time to look at causes, judge Of effects, and de-
wise remedy.
A DEMOCRAT.

Late and Important from Florida

AT The last dates, scouting party had just
returned to Black creek, "bloody with spurring,
fiery red with haste" They report that they
fell in, on the second day Of their march, with
Ia large field of corn, at which they were
all in maize, and went to work cutting and
slashing The enemy from ear to ear This at
tack was particularly fatal TO the officers of the
opposing force--a large number Of kernels hav-
ing fallen victims TO the voracity of our troops.
The enemy were driven with great slaughter
from hill 10 hill; and we understand thai the
commanding officer rewarded The bravery OF
several of the privates by creating them corn
els ON the spot.
