THE UNITED STATES LOAN.

We have reason to believe that the reports Of the
whole, or any part of this loan having been negotiat
ed at par, are premature Up to the middle of last
week, not more than $50 900 had been bid for and
it was currently rumored at Washington that the Sc
cretary Of the Treasury was arranging commission
to proceed to England of which his son-in-law Mr..
.Mnrks was 10 DO member.
We would fain hope that in matter of such i'm
portance the competency and character of the agent
will be fully weighed and that we shall not have re-
neWed occasion to investigate into Treasury jobs.
This in our opinion, is matter of very grave i'm
portance-one which directly involves the honor of
the Secretary of the Treasury-and yet state up
on ,aquesonable authority that Mr. Forward insists
that his son-in-law shall be fifth wheel to any
commission appointed to negotiate this loan. Cen
tlemen of high character are willing to accept the
appointment; but not with this ncumbrance
The above is from the New York Courier and
Enquirer. The editor of that paper having
Marshall, is now seeking another victim.
In this instance he assais the character of
Mr.. Marks, simply because he understands
Mr.. M is to receive an appointment This is a
hazardous business. If Mr.. Webb has any eui-
dence of dishonorable conduct on the part of
Mr.. NJ, why does he not give the particulars ?
In the absence of evidence, the charge as
sumes the aspect of SANDER And shall men be
slandered with impunity? If Mr. Marks is in
nocent, he should seek his remedy against
Webb Immediately. The law should do him
justice; but if it cannot, then he should take
Justice in his own hands. If he were to cow
hide Mr.. Webb for sandering him provided
there is no remedy in the law would it be a
greater outrage on the rules Of society, than for
MIR. Webb to SANDER private citizen, without
the least provocation, with impunity?

President was 'without party" Vtthout
Cabinet the President could not administer the
Government. He had to yield in despair-if he
could not form Cabinet he had to res ign.-
Nav, we know that at least one member OF the
retiring Cabinet" when he gave up his place,
predicted the Presidents resignation. What IS
the use of commenting further2 IL lods a.
Increment made Nth an intention Of forcing
the President to resign. He who runs can
read. The country's interests were neglected !;
the Constitution was to be desecrated; the pri-
vate character of an amiable and high-souled
man was to be backened, his friends were to be
prescribed, and all to suit the selfish views OF
the politicians Of the Legislature. And this
game commenced at that day the country will
bear witness has been continued to this hour
Nor is this ALL We solemnly affirm our be-
lief that scarcely a sing lie man of those Leglsa-
tive politicians, who voted for that second Bank
bill, but gave their vote with curl of contempt,
their lips. Its inefficiency, its absurdity, has
subsequently, been admitted by ALL Then why
was an inefficient Bank bill presented to the
President by the Federal Legislature for his sig
nature? Even if some of these men affect to
believe the President desired such bill, and
that he would sign it, why was it presented by
the Congress of the United States, each indvid-
nal member acting under the responsibility of
an oath of Office, to be signed by the President
of the United States Are the interests of the
People of this country to be thus trifed with by
their public servants? Is Congress assembled
together under the Constitution, elected by the
People, and paid for their services by the People,
to pass their time in playing practical jokes on
the feelings of the Chief Magistrate? The
People have in the recent elections decided 9TH
erwise We will not continue this point further.
The case is made out. We ask for justice, and
will abide the verdict of the People.

AMERICANS, BE ON YOUR GUARD


From divers sources we have received intima-
lions (upon the truth of which we are COMPEL
ed to place much reliance) that one Of the most
dabolical plots that was ever conceived by NOR
tai men, has recently been concocted by band
of desperadoes and fanatics against the peace
of our common country, and the existence Of
our glorious Institutions We have reason to
believe that the Abolitionsts of the North have
taken advantage Of the unhappy posture Of at
fairs in Rhode Island, to throw off the mask of
their hellish purpose to dissolve the Union, to
effect by fraud and violence the destruction OF
the Constitutions of the Southern States as
well as the Federal Constitution The great
mass of the Suffrage Party in Rhode Island are
innocent of all connection with the plot But
some of the leaders, it is confidently asserted,
have bargained with the fanatics for the over
throw Of Governments!
Let us be watchful Let US beware! if the
Government of Rhode Island is to be over
thrown by force, the Revolution will not stop
there. 1t will sweep like hurricane to the
South Rely upon it, the daring resolutions
recently passed by various Abolition meetings,
were not without meaning. They have long
been preparing for such crisis as the present.
They have friends in Congress. Let every
American be upon his guard

POST OFFICE REGULATIONS.

Editors of newspapers would render ser
vice to the public, and an acceptable favor to
Postmasters generally, by giving place to the &C
companying observations which we find in the
PRINCETON WING, on Post Office laps and re-
gulations. And while this is done in behalf of
Postmasters, it would promote regularity and
good of the service were Postmasters themselves
reminded, in turn, of thefollowing cypress provi-
sion of IalD: that the Postmaster General
partment, at short and regular intervals, by
Postmasters ut the ends of routes, and such
others as he may think proper, registers show
ing the exact times of the arrivals and depart
ures of the mails"
1t is not that he may, but that he shall cause
such returns to be made. 1t is only on view of
such returns, that he can enforce the performance
of their engagements by contractors. Yet this
important duty has. been, In many cases, so long
and grossly neglected, that the knowledge of
failures of the mails, often reaches the Depart
ment first through the public papers, or by let
ers or memorials coming through members of
Congress.
Few facts can be adduced more characteristic
of the official habits of Northern and Southern
public agents, than the difference between the
Postmasters in these two sections respectively ;
inthe performance of this imperative duty-ior
example--in the States of New York and Penn
sulua,aia there are $40 Postmasters whose duty it
is to return, either weekly or monthly, registers.
In the States of Virginia, Georgia, and the
two Carolinas, the number is 63S; on recen,
report of the clerks of these divisions, it was
found that of the $40, only AZ had neglected &c
make their returns, and that number has since
been reduced to ll,-while among the 63S Post

THE STEAM SHIP MISSOURI.

. On yesterday, Captain Newton in command
Of this superb steam-frigate, did the honor OF
his ship, to distinguished party of ladies from
the Presidents Mansion, consisting of the esti-
mable and venerable Mrs. Madison, Mrs. Ro-
bert Tyler, who presides at the White House,
and many of their accompanying friends both
ladies and gentlemen. The day was remarka-
bly, fine, and the whole visit passed off most ad-
mirably. Captain Newton with his body of ac-
complished officers, certainly deserve to be
complimented upon the condition in which their
"sea palace" is kept and upon the politeness
which makes every PERSONS visit to the vessel
agreeable to them.

RASCALITY.

We published an extract from the Hartford Cou-
rant few days ago, under the above head, charging
the Patriot and Eagle, OF that city, with suppress
sing the notices of the persons applying for the bene
fit of the Bankrupt Act or only publishing them in
few papers. AS the Patriot is the official this charge
if true, was sufficient to deprive it Of the Govern
ment printing. We are pleased to understand, how
ever on the best authority, that there is not word
of truth in the charge-tha in fact it is but part Of
the system of persecution pursued against the editor
of that paper, MIR. Hobrook by prohigate political
clique because of his support of the present national
administration We had forgotten the fact that Mr..
Holbrook was the gentleman against whom an I'M
founded charge of forgery was made by the same
clique few months ago, of which not shadow of
proof ever appeared against him. Had we remem-
bered it, we should never have assented to give pub
licity to which appears to be equally as uniound
ed and displaying the same degree OF malignant
opposition.

tutIons will be made waste paper, and the mu-
nlcipal laws used to burn the dwellings, of the
inhabitants
Let Senator Allen go on in this politico-abo-
lltlon movement. Let Benton back him with
his advice, while he fears to speak for himself.
The love OF order, and the majesty of the laws,
may yet overtake them. Only the demagogues
OF the ultra Loco Foco party, are with them.
The honest Democrats of the country despise
them. We understand that the true leaders,
the high priests of the Democratic party, in the
Senate, deprecate the proceedings of DORIS
mob, and are resolved to stand By the Presi-
dent IN the exercise of his constitutional duty.
Thus, after all the buster of Allen, the fanatics
and Destructives will dwindle down to a con-
temptble and loahsome faction!
Sull, il it be not too late, we would implore
the Suffrage party in Rhode Island, to retrace
their steps, and abide in the limits of safety. If
they will wait patiently, and act prudently, the
restrictions they complain of, under the old
Charter, will be removed.
THE ABOLITIONISTS- DESTRUCTIVES.
We are thoroughly convinced that the wire
workers, who endeavor to get UP violent and
bloody scene in Rhode Island, are band of
desperate Abolitionists. Those who encourage
the commission Of outrage against the exist
ing Government, and would drive the matter
pell nell to bloody issue, are OF the same class
that instigated the slaves on board the Creole to
commit mutiny and murder. These reckless
wretches do not live in Rhode Island-they have
nothing at stake there But, while they keep
out of danger themselves, they are extremely
anxious to see their disorganizing principles put
in operation. If they are successful-that is if
the ancient Government Of the State can DE
overthrown by brute force, instead Of the ballot
boxes, then they will next extend their opera
tons to the Southern States.
But, the Suffrage Party proper, the men who
insist upon certain restrictions being removed
by lawful means, will never be led astray by
these Jacobncal Destructives They look up
on Earthquake Aliens antics in the Senate with
contempt. They would much rather he should
attend to his business. These men, who are
conscientious in their desire to have new Con-
stitution, if they have majority of the People
on their side, may ultimately, IN q peaceable
and laaoful manner, succeed to the utmost Of
their wishes.

LATER FROM PROVIDENCE.

The Journal of Commerce has received ntor-
nation that DORIS party Of Abolition despera-
does have seized some of the cannon belonging
to the State An attack on the Arsenal is in
contemplation. Dorr has hundreds of armed
followers around him. If this be not treason,
what is it ? The next news will perhaps be of
blood and pillage. And this is the band that
Mr.. Senator Allen would aid We repeat that
it is an ABOLITION PLOT The Suffrage
Party proper, the honest citizens, are rapidly
abandoning Dorr to his fate.

"BEAUTIFUL EXTRACT"

'sLove with man is recreation and pas
sion; with woman it becomes part of her
existence. Let not her, who has once given
herself up to its reveries, hope to break the spell
that is wound around her. Sickness, poverty,
and age may, to the eyes of others, render the
object worthless; but the sensibility of woman
possesses an alchymy that turns all to gold: 1t
is in vain for friends to reason, for the world to
scof-her destiny is to love on"
