FOR THE AADIsoNIAN.

| do not know that any one who has marked
in Congress has been surprised at the coarse
and uneourleous attacks made on Mr.. Cu.hing
for his declaration, in effect, that if the Govern
menl could not find support from one party, Il
must appeal TO the Other. Now, let party inge-
nuity twist this sentiment TO party purposes as
il may, if in all the range of common sense,
common morality, OF the common practice Of
life, there exists any principle of action which
does not harmonize with the language held by
Mr. Gushing, in this case, confess my igno-
rance of il. Honest purpose and close research
have forced on the mind Of the President a con-
viction that certain measure is necessary for
the public welfare. Ia iulflment Of his consti-
tulional obligations, he recommends il to Con-
gress. Is il any thing unreasonable, immoral,
or unusual that he should labor TO gain friends
ID his suggestion 2 That, if one party will no,
support it, he should appeal to the other ? Did
he seek merely the interests of party, the
charge might be urged against him with pro-
priety and force. But when he has no eye but
for his country--no object but the good of all
why is he TO hesitate, faller, and draw back, as
soon as he touches boundary line between po-
litcal parties? | trust that Mr.. Gushing utter
ed The sentiment advisedy and on The authority
of the President himself II is one for which
the Executive may boldly assume the response
bilily-Jne which he may remember with pride
when time shall have Invested him of the hon
or and toll of official station-which his chill
dren will thank him for when. with him, life's
ftfu fever" has subsidized; and for which hlsto-
ry shall hold him up TO admiration when the
things which now seek to defle his fame shall
have persisted in the mass of the unremem-
bered. X S.

THE "GLOBEn AND GOV. PORTER.

We observe that some Of the con rollers of the
"Gobe" do not relish the doctrines contained in the
late excellent message Of Governor Porter to the
Legislature and forthwith proceed to charge him
with desertion from the party, &c, &c. This is not
the first time the Globe has manifested its impudcnce
and oihciousness, where the State of Pennsylvania
has been concerned We say mPupENcE because
Pennsylvania is sovereign State. Her bow at
the footstool Of no master. Least of all does the
enlightened and distinguished individual who al
present holds the rens Of her government, ard for
time sways her destnies. He was elected Governor
by the largest Democratic majorities ever given to
any Governor; and this when all his political prn-
ciples we're fully known TO his fellow citizens. IT.
therefore, he chooses to administer the gov rnment
OF the State, in the manner best calculated to adj
its interests; if after due trial, that Admins
traton is solemny approved by the whole Dcmocra-
cy of the State, and vast majority of ITS inhabi
tants it is obvious that the Globe may hustle about
DEMocRAcr as much as IL phases, without causing
much else than an exposure of its ignorance Of
and utter contempt for, the will Of the people, which
understand TO be its spirit and substance Al all
events, such a will do about much towards
changing the views Of the people in regard to their
Governor, as il will towards nominating Martin Van
Buren, for President.
The chief merit Of Governor Porter's admini,tra-
ton thus far has been that he has fenrlessly and
manfully stood by the rights of his State regard
less Of what any particular clique politicians in or
out of il, might choose think of him Instead of ia
KING ms cue from Washngton,or from any other quar-
ter his policy has been dictated by his own heart and
his own head and thus, the supremacy of the noble
old Commons ealth has been maintained, his own
conscience is free from reproacb and the people have
at every step bid him "God spced.n This has been
novel spectacle, and entirely unintegibe to the
Globe and the small squad Of politicians both in this
city and in New York, who known to act in con-
cert with It, Time after time have they raised their
feeble voices on this subjectsometmes in astonsh-
ment-sometimcs in toerably well-feigned indigna-
tlon-oftener in morti6cation-but always to no
purpose. We have only TO hope, that those who are
silly enough TO continue this course, will receive in
future, just such treatment at the hands of the De-
mocracy Of Pennsylvania, as they have met with in
times past We are that no harm, but on the
contrary, much good, will eventually come cut oft

Mr.. Bolts, who has done much 10 emb,rr,ss the

Mr. Bolts and his famous resolution of imnearbmert

FOR TIE MADisoNiAN.
THE FIELD OF BATTLE
The flag is fured, the cannon hushed,
The work of slaughter done;
A wel-lought battle has been lost,
A gallant victory won.
Thick as the forest leaves that fall
When autumn winds sweep by
The Dead upon the plain around,
Gashed and unburied lie.
The aged mother may no more
Behold her sons glad face;
Sorrow, within the childless home,
Shall fill his vacant place.
In vain the wife will vigil keep,
Her lords return to hail;
The music of the bower of love
Shall be the widows wall
The cherished offspring, wont to climb
A watchful fathers knee,
Is helpless, friendless, left to plove
The cold worlds charity.
Fume from the carnage, reeking up,
The Godheads throne assails.
And retribuiion claims from Him,
Whose vengeance never fails.
The laurel wreath and mans acclaim,
Cannot absolve from guilt;
But lighter than feather weigh,
Against the life-blood split.
Dye who rule, and whose command
Unsheathed the battle sword,
Judge impartial and allwise
Will mete out your reward.

THE PRICE OF COAL

dueed the price Of their coal to four and half d.

one dollar per ton bring the freight between the two

weather and The excess Of stock beyond the demand
or from the abinty OF The miners TO produce il thus
chcsply, is perhaps not positively known. E,ther
way however as coal is before the community as an
object OF taxation the fact is important and worthy
of investigation, before any definite action Is had by
the Legislature.
