The Wing Orators, (Mr. Irving, of Cumberland,
among them,) has urged the opinion OF General jack
son behalf of distribution. But these gentle tor
ret the principles which, the soher second thought,
he promulgated in his last Message TO Congress in Dec,
1886, and in his Yaedic;ory Address TO the Peo-
ple on the 4ih March, 1897 We shall refresh their
me emory by copous quotations in the course OF the
next week. He them against ruisng money for
the purpose of Distribution (as is now the Wing policy;
for what they take from the lands, they must raise by
the Tariff He tells Congress- that they have no con-
stitutional power raise IL that f the necessity OF
lowing the taxes be taken from those who make the
appropriations and thrown upon distant and less
responsible set of public agents, who ave power to
approach the people by indirect and steathy tax
alton there is reason 10 fear, that prodgay will soon
spersede those characteristics, which have thus far
made us look with much pride and confidence 10 the
State Governments the maia stay of our union and
liberties" He warns them, iha. ''the States would
gradually lose their purity a well as their ndepend
ence They would not dare to murmur at the proceed
ings Of the General Government lest they should lose
their supplies All would be merged in practical con-
sodation cemcnted by widespread corruption, which
could only be eradicated by one OF those bloody revo
lutions which occasionally overthrow The dcspo;c sys
tens of The old world" In his Farewell Address, lie
tells them that st IS system of injustice,
and if persisted in will inevitably lead TO corruption,
and must end in ruin. The surplus revenue will be
drawn from the pockets the people-lrom the farmer,
The mechanic and the laboring classes OF society But,

THE HOME

We learn from the National Intelligent
Ger that the veteran Commodore Stewart
paid a hasty visit to the Seat of Govern
ment last week, probably on business con.
nectcd with the important duty to which
he has been assigned by the head of the
Navy Department, IN being placed in COM
mand of the Home Squadron. This
squadron will probably leave port in u
few weeks. Its sailing has been thus long
delayed, as we understand, partly in con-
sequence of the scarcity of seamen, but
more from the heavy character of the
work required to be done on the steamers,
two OF which are attached to the force to
be employed on this service. The squad
ron will consist of
The Independence, razee, Capt. Gala.
CHER.
The Columbia, frigate. Capt. Parker.
The Missouri, steamer, Capt. Newton.
The Mississippi, do. Capt. Salter.
The Vandalia, sloop of war, Comman-
der Ramsey.
The Falmouth, do. Com. Mcintosh.
the Grampus, schooner, Lieut.. Com.
Van Brunt.
The Dolphin, do. Lieut.. Com. Mexican.
Thrst. vessels are fitting at different
navy yards. aud will probably rendez-
vous at some given point, when arrange.

atoms.

DEArm OF CmANTRY.-The most inte-
resting item offoreign intelligence, by the
Caledonia, is the death of the great En-.
glish sculptor, Sir Francis Chantry, Sec
ond among contemporary artists only to
,Thorwaldscn. He was in his sixtleth
wear, having been born in a small village
6f Derbyshire, in 1892. His early life
was passed in obscurity. Samuel Rogers,
the poet, shows his friends, according to
Miss Sedgwick, specimens Of his work
when he pursued the business Of a cabinet
maker. One Of Chantry's finest works
is a statue of Washington, in the Massa-
chusetts State House, at Boston. He was
engaged on a statue OF hat chance.made
great man, the Duke oil Wellington, when
he was seized with an apopIectic fit, on
the e5th Of November, which caused his
death in q few hours.

THE CREOLE AFFAIR.-The Creole af.
fair seems TO have excited a great deal OF
importance throughout the whole of the
Southern States. The officers and crew
of the Creole have entered a strong pro-
test at New Orleans against the high
handed and unwarrantable conduct of the
British Government in relation to the
slaves liberated at Nassau. The New
Orleans Advertiser asks:
"What American can read il without
feeling his throat swell with indignation
at the atrocious conduct Of Her Britannia
Mojesty's Governor of all the Bahia
mas? What is then the first duty Of our
Government? To demand peremptorily
of Great Britain redress for the wrongs
thus committed against our citizens and
PREPARATION for the great destruction Of
American property on board the Creole"
The Richmond Compiler OF the goth Of
December, says:
"The high handed conduct ofSir Fran.
els Colburn will certainly be properly in.
vestigatcd by our Government ; and we
trust for the honoro Of our country, in Justice
10 the high character it has for the prompt
ness and decision with which il has en-.
forced respect for the rights Of its people
and the dignity of the nation, that the re-
spousible power will be held to a strict ac-
count in this case"
Mr.. BOURNE, M THE NEGROES ON
BOARD THE CREoLE.-We are authorized
by a getleman well acquainted with Mr..
Bourne to say that he was excluded seve-
raj years ago from all his connection with
the Baptist denomination, for the crimes
of adultery and drunkenness as well as
desertion OF his family. He was from
England, and oficiated both at Honduras
and Nassau. From the latter place he
fled, in 1886 or 1887 to escape the penalty
ofhis crimes.-N. Y. Jour. Com.
Bourne first visited the United States
10 the summer Of 1927 was in this city
a few weeks in search of a wife; and
ultimately married n lady in Salem. He
was a plausible man-his path was always
