ARE THE WINGS TO BLAME2

The appointment of Powell, Consul at Rio, by
President Tyler affords an opportunity for the Oppo-
stlon presses to give vent to their Spleen and to
bit their hatred the Wings, and to preach long hy-
pocrltical homes upon the corrupions of the times
of the decentralization of the Wing party. Attempts
have been made to implicate Mr.. Webster Mr. Choate
and the President, in design to force man. devoid
Of moral principle, into one of the important and lu-
cratve situations of the Government. Every Mode
has been resorted distort and msrepresen facts
We have the strongest assurance that neither Mr.
Webster nor Mr.. Choate had the remotes knowledge
of the bad character which Powell sustained at the
time he was nominated to office by the President
Mr.. Tyler it Is said was imposed upon by this arlfu
villain, by forged certificates. Upon the strength Of
these certificates, he was nominated by Mr. TYLER
and the Senate confirmed the appointment As soon
however, as the fact of the appointment became pub
lc his true character was discovered and the Presi-
dent and the Senate Immediately stripped him of the
appointment, and his new pledged honor. What more
could they do What other reparation could be mae2
1t not to be supposed that every person appointed
to office should be personally known to either the Pre-
sdent or the Senate But one can hardly discover
which the Locoocos Fl md the most fault with the an
pontment or the dismissment. Certainly if the Pre-
sdent had followed the footsteps of Van Buren, he
would have kept Powell in office, Notwithstanding
his acknowledged infamous character. When we
recollect the thousand and pubic deaulters who
were kept in office by Van Buren, for years after their
dishonesty was fully ascerained and of the fact that
some of them retired from office public pundeers to
the amount of hundred thousand dollars and over
and recommend to the President persons to be their
successors and these persons actually appointe;
say it is wonder that the party which sustained
these gross derelicons of duty should be surprised
at the prompt action of the President and hig Sc
nate, In ejectng the newly appointed Consul to Rio
from his post.

PARTY ECONOMY.

There can be no doubt that in this country party
economy has been mistaken for political economy
Political economy is all-important science worthy
the study of the noblest minds and yet how few re-
gard its claims. How few of our statesmen are in
the true sense, political economists Ofparty econo-
msts we have enough and to spare. BY way of as
pertaining the real motives of legislators and the
truth of our assertions, it is only necessary to watch
the movements of parties in Congress. When any
important proposition is laid before national legis
ature in whose movements candor ought to be ever
conspicuous, the first question is, not will it benefit
the country, but will it benefit my party Will it
ret,rd or advance its interests, its powers its per-
manency Thus measure suggested by member
of one party is viewed with feelings Of jealousy by
those of the opposite party. Wanting proper de-
gree of confidence in the motives of political oppo-
nents, Ga confidence of vital Importance yet destroyed
by the poisonous breath of party fears of sinister
and dishonest designs spring up in an instant and
forbid hearty cooperation in measures which are
proposedy partsan-athough such may feel d epy
their importance to their constituents and the country
at large. Were more honest course pursued and
no questions allowed to rise up in the mind but the
simple one-does the good of my country require me
TO vote Tor this measurewhat different and far more
happy results would spring from legsIaton-which
now proves oftener curse than blessing to the
country We know this is plain talking; but it is
no more than truth, whose servant we desire ever
to be-

AN AERIAL VOYAGE.

Mr.. Hugh Parker, who recently made a balloon
ascension from Mobile, has published quite inte-

OF 60 lbs. ascensive power, deermin to crafty my
wish. Away systematically ascending-leavlng
the clouds far beneath me they were above when
| started ! now began to feel cold, large drops OF
perspiration oozng from my skin, and tlnging sound
in my ears, if something cracking in my head a
feeling and difficulty of respiration very
cold. The water in my bottle freezing took hold of
it, in order to try if drink would calm my nauseat-
ing feeling; the neck stuck to my hand and drew the
skin off as if blisefed by fire. Still uneasy, the
drops of perspiration had turned to liquid matter re-
semblng yellow oil-my tongue became swollen, my
nails and teeth loosened, and every joint in me
and all my energies appeared relaxed l looked up,
and the gas rushing from the neck of my balloon,
and endeavored to open my valve to effect It's escape,
but had not strength to accomplish it. l feared the
result, and not kept long in suspense. Judged
myself at this time, SIX miles high, when the balloon
vas rent on the top. Away went the gas! Can
describe my feelings at that moment? No, no as
whirng down came with feeling if the whole
system was driving to my head | entered dense
cloud the substance of which rushed passed wit h
whizzng sound, like steam from the escape pipe Of
an engine. The clouds were somewhat warmer than
the air above, which considerably re animated me-
Looking saw that the balloon was forced hard against
the netting from atmospheric pressure this crcum-
stance in Gained my agitation, although
still descending with unspeakabe rapidity. e1-

tent and noticing that was approaching the earth
with great velocity braced myself up to abide the
suit, and how must express my thanks to the Dis
poser of Events the gver and peserver of life for my
miraculous preservation the bu'gng body of my bal
loon struck one side of pine tree from which cause
was saved and found myself instead Of being dashed
to the ground only forced against the body of the

SERIOUS AND COMIC DRAMATIC
READINGS

A CARD.-Mr. HACKETT, of New York,
n would respectfully acquaint the Members of
Congress and the intellectual portion of the communi
ty at Washington generally, with his intention to
adopt practically, suggestion of the Rev DR.. Chan
ming and Others of approved taste, for rendering
tam plays entertaining TO select and refined au-
dlence; and that he will, for the first time and
experiment, undertake in that city, some evening
ofthe current month, toread in abridged form and
comment upon Shakspeares two great historical five
act dramas, entitled "The First Part" and g T he
Second Part of King Henry the Fourth" preserving
the most capable scenes and stirring Incidents eluci-
dating obscure illusions, showing the prominent
points in the language and marking distinctly in the
rhetorical delivery the different styles peculiar to the
several principal characters, viz the polite King the
alternately grave and gay Prince of Wales the fiery
and chivalrc Hotspur, the witty and humorous Fal
staff, &c, yet, at the time, emitting all such
original matter as may have been allowable in an
earlier and less polished state of society," but is now
exceptionable TO modern taste.
Further particulars will be given in future ad YER

ration OF this kind could be advantageously made of
other of our large ships. That immense floating cas-
tie, the Pennsylvania, if sent to sea during war,
would make glorious target for one or two steam
ships, which could choose their distance, and with
their heavy guns, hull the three-decker with every
shot, without receiving injury themselves. The time
when ships OF war were formidable in proportion to
their size and number of guns has passed away.
