Let one suppose that, because Congress proposes
reduction Of The army and navy, the question of
peace war with Great Britain is settled. The ne
collation. not closed, has any thing yet appeared
Ii remove the doubts msgivlngs that lmpora ant
subject 1t is true Lord Ashburton is here, fully en-
powdered and accredited; and, under all the circum-
stances, may possibly accomplish more IN the way OF
an adjustment than any other functionary, but what
will be the course of England in the interim2 With
her wonted sagaciiy, she will quietly but anxousiy,
watch every movement on this side OF the Atlantic,
and whilst her minister is engaged IN the negotiation
pending, her operatives will be employed in manu-
featuring munitions OF war and preparing tor any hos
tties which may, by possibility ensue. On the other
hand shall the American navy be dsmanlled, its
my "a few handfuls of men dIgnied with the name
of an drmy) disbanded its Notifications remain di-
apdated, and their guns dismounted and that, too,
under the very eyes Of the British minister 1t so,
what may be the effect Why, the terms of the ad
justment, in view of our apparent weakness, may be
made unreasonable, and we may be suddenly plunged
into war, without any preparation, other than that
innate affection and patriotism which the lofty I'M
bound spirits of American freemen always cherish
But say the least of this extraordinary movement,
on The part Of Congress, the Introduction of such
BILL at the present time, is in opporune, and creates
suspicion that the vindctiveness of party spirit on
the one hand and an unsuitable ambition for po-
tca elevation on the other has triumphed over
lofty and dsinteresed patriotism, and that the
great object is, by thus inn airing the national
defcnces to coerce the Executive into terms
of dishonorable peace. The President is well aware
of his position--that he may expect uncom-
promising hostility from the ultra party leaders
in both houses of Congress Within the last few
days he has reiterated his determination to repudiae
ulraisns of every kind, discharge his duty faithfully
and fearessly, and rely upon his countrymen for
cordial support, Although the national defences
may be stripped, appropriations cut off, soldiers
discharged, and brave tars turned adrft-so long as
there remains single staff which to throw
star-spanged banner to the breeze the President lcH

A GONE COON.

Governor Corwin has again left the Executive of
fee, and if not in Lebanon, assisting the Treasurer
Of State about his MILL has srayed to parts unknown
Persons having business with Governor Corwin will
do well to visit the capital between the 18th and Doth
days Of each month, his Excellency generally ar
rives about that time to replensh his pocket with his
monthly pay, amounting to the snug little sum OF one
hundred and twenty-five dollars for neglecting his
official business to attend to the interest Of the Clay
portion of the Wing party
By the bye, the Journal since it cannot deny that
Governor Corwin neglects his business, contends he
has no business here. The Lancaster (Whig) En-
press thought differently last July when il gave birth
to the following article. Will the Journal not read
his friend, of the Express, lecture, for being too
hasty in Dragging Of Tom the wagon boy, being in
Columbus he should be, dsehaging his duty as the
Ereputire Of Ohio' when, in TRUTH at that time, Go
vernon Corwin was acting as assistant headsmen to
the Postmaster General, in removing and preerring
complaints against Democratic Postmasters;

quires, what has become of Tom, the wagon boy ~

A CHANGE OF TUNE.

when the wing party came into power, the cry
was "change of men as well as measures, the
''aflars of government cannot be successfully car
red whilst political opponents in power"
said they and the press; from one end OF the Union
to the other shouted, "out with them'' " out with
the brawling democrats !" and sure enough, they
put out not by single hle or by pairs, but nun
dreds at fell swo6p were swept oil by the Polit
cal besom,-the aged soldier and time-worn mariner
who had fought the battles of their country, were
amongst the first to feel the federal power-it was all
right them in the eyes Of the Clay wing press be-
cause Mr.. Clay's most ardent supporters were ger
ting the Offices Give me The patronage Oh inc
government" said he at one Tune, "ahd wen MAKE
ourselves popularn-and they succeeded IN securing
the patronage and Offices of the government IN great
degree when in place of "promotng The pubnc
interests as Mr. Granger said was the object oil the
changes in his Department, the chei ones sci TO
work to promote the political interests oil one VINO
was doing all in his power to embarrass the affairs OF
government and dishonor the nation. But when Cap
tain Tyler attempts TO drive the dsafected troops
from his ranks hear these promoters OF the pub
lie interest" crying out "proscrpton" ''proscrlp-
ton ~ and the Nashville Banner declares that the
very idea is ''diabocaln What pretty spectacle
do these gentry exhibit of candor and honesty
When Democrats, faithful public servants, were re-
moved to make room for their friends all was right
and proper but when the latter are to be removed
in consequence of their interference IN political
affairs il is an COURAGE they affect to be
founded and with pretended amazement, bawl out
'diabolicaln From what we can learn : dlabol
can as the idea may be, it will be done and
those who are working secretly against the Presi-
dent whilst processing to be his friends and enjoying
the patronage of the government that they are en-
barrassing and abusing daily will be made to feel
that with honorable men of all parties, open oppo-
nens are far to be respected and trusted than
the crouchng servile that sells his opnisas for the
emoluments of office such men would betray their
country for 'mess of pottage," and should not be
trusted by any party. We make these remarks with
view of showing the hypocrisy and selfishness of
party, which affected to despse the oaves and fishes
of Office when they out of their reach, but who,
when chance for attaining them arrived almost
crushed each other to DEATH in the general scramble
for place and power who cry out 'no prescription"
when in office, applaud it when seeking for the pub
lie sop AS to the "family jars" that are going on
in thesuniversa wing party 1--WE care but little which
trumphs but hope that the end will prove another
yerifcation of the adage, by which, 'honest men
get their own"

DESCRIPTION.

NATIONAL READING ROOM.-The under
IN signed at the solicitation of many members of
Congress and citizens of Washington, who have
long felt the want of an establishment ofthis kind has
opened Reading Room, in the rear of his store on
Pennsylvania avenue next door west Of the American
Hotel. The room il handsomely fitted up, and files
of the latest papers from every portion of the country
may always be found on hand, He has also made ar
engagements to obtain the English newspapers by the
Boston and New York line of steam packets in ad-
of the mail This arrangement, he trusts will
meet with share OF general patronage, owing to the
numerous calls Of transient persons who are in Wash
ngton for papers from their different sections of
try.
He respectfully invites all strangers, well as the
residents Of the District to call and examine his files
where they will be permitted to read the latest journals
gratuitously. ANDREW K. JENKINS. +
