SINGULAR IMrosTuRE-On Monday circumstance
ment. young gentleman of dashing interior took
place in the st. Adams coach and gave his name
as Lawrence Peel. On the road down, his fellow
travellers proud of having in their company of
the noble baronet who holds the reins of Govern
ment, paid him every honor. The youth, in return,
delighted them with numberess interesting stories
CLEANED in his travels. Drink, Of which he partook
freely, at last made him more communicative, and
ne stated that ne mad run from college and
going to have spree. On his arrival at ST Adams,
The news soon spread that n of Sir Robert was
among them, and the people congregated to have

" the potent poison quite o'ercamc him." and he was
taken 10 the Nerulam Arms, where he Is comfort
ably bedded. The andlady, thinking that she might
get into trouble if she barbored him, sent for Mr..
Coles, medical friend, who went TO him for the pur
pose OF advising his immediate return. The inter
view, however, convinced MIR. Coles that lac was no

turned out that my gentleman was no gentleman at
all but lady. She stated that she had escaped from
nunnery in France with GOO; that being nearly
exhausted, she was for making her way back aud
the disguise was assumed to protect her from insult
Her name did not transpre nor could be got from
her; and the general opinion among medical men
was, That she was decidedly insane. On being To-
ken 10 the station she knelt down and prayed
for the poor IDIOT, composing the common council,
which strengthened the opinion. She kept in
custody only one night, and the inspector walked her
out OF the borough amid the laughter of the inhabI-

Correspondence Of the Madisonian.

Sr. LOUIS, Mo, August l6, lSi3.
| The following extract of letter from a
prominent, politician in Indiana, who is now a
| Tyler man, dated Indianapolis, August 9th,
Isays, ",he friend. of the ADMINISTRATION, since
the late uojust6able charge OF the Globe, that
Mr.. Tyler's friends are denouncing Mr.. Van
Buren,, aud striving To sow seeds OF diseord IN
the Democratic ranks, have resolved that no
such charge shall justly lie at their door, and
have therefore resolved throughout Indiana 10
support The nominee for Governor, in the hope
lha, our liberali,y may not be lost on MIR. Whit
comb we understand Mr. w. is Cas-
man. Ed Mad lin case he is elected, as we
have no doubt he will be, with orr support"
| Thus you see that our friends in Indiana have
resolved to brand the false charge of the Globe,
Lolwith landing The illiberal treatment we have
received in most OF the States where Demccra
tic victories have been won through our aid the
past rear
! have little local news Of any interest to COM
muncate, except that an effort is now being
made here in favor Of electing our delegates TO
the National Convention by districts, which is
violently opposed by Messrs. Benton and Van
Buren's exclusive champions. They are evil
denlly afraid of the unlrammelled action and
expression of the popular will.
The friends Of Mr.. Tyler now that the Con-
gressional elections are over are resolved TO or
ganise in favor Of their candidate, and for the
purpose of demanding fair consideration OF
his claims in the National Convention.
send you the Oh School Democrat of yes
erday, in which you will see the course marked
out by our friends here, and which desire you
will copy into the Madisonian.
think you will agree that it takes the right
ground. The Old School Democrat is the Or
gan of Mr.. Tyler's friends in Illinois and Mis-
souri,, and has placed the name Of Mr.. Tyler
at the head Of lis columns, as The fist choice Of
its friends.
1t has been established only about eight
months, and has ALREADY an extensive circua
ton. The interests of the Administration in
this quarter will not suffer in its hands, as it is
conducted by V. Ellis, Esq, State Rights
Republican, an early and intimate friend of the
President and an able political writer.

REMAINS or ASTlorIrY.-We have already refer,

the purpose Of making researches among the remark
able remains OF antiquity in that country. The com

at the foot Of the great Pyramids, diligently engaged
in the pursuit Of their interesting Investigations
Late European journals state that the Royal hca-
deny Of Sciences at Berlin had received from the
director of the Prussan scientific expedition in
Egypt, Professor Lepsces series of reports, which
prove that the researches Of this expedition have had
important results. One hundred and six tombs, all
situated in the enyirons Of the Pyramid Of Giseh and
only three or four OF which had been previously cx-
amincd, have been explored by members Of the ex-
petition, who have discovered there g,cat number
Of inscriptions and hierogyphic representations, CON

Democracy, according to the Washington Globe
would appear to be- the power to control public OPT
Mon, and make il subservient to particular views
not Of the party heretofore known as the democratic
party, who were once supposed to have well defined
and settled neutrality-suspicious. laid down by the
great republican fathers, TO whom we are indebted
for those liberal and enlarged views Of human wants
and human rights which have been from time to time
mboded into system Of government, having for
their object the greatest happiness Of the greatest
number These principles seem to be entirely lost
sight of 10 the Globe; and, far we can per-
ceive, democracy, according to Mr.. Blair, has as
sumed new phase, having no regard TO the happi-
the intereste Of the great American family,
but narrowed down to the entire selfish principle OF
what will bring the greatest amount Of money into his
own pockets.
Upon due and mature consideration he has con-
cluded that it matters not who shall be the next Pre-
sdent that the public printing can be secured Tor
the Globe and its proprietors. With this view he
has made his calculations and feeling satisfied that
the best chance of his success is TO make Mr. Van
Buren, President, he openly avows that in Mr. Van
Buren, reside the only true democratic principles; no
of The other candidates for the Presidency has any
lot in the matter The question with him is, "wlll
you vote for Mr. Van Buren, that may be made
printer to Congress, or will you nota If yea, then
you good democrat-but if nay, then denounce
you.n

The eggs Of the Seventeen Year Loeusts are now

attention 10 the history Of this remarkable insect has
brought To us this morning branch from Of his
trees, taken oil yesterday, in which the eggs have
quckened, and the microscope shows them to be per-
feciy formed locusts. They resemble the insect
when it first emerges from the ground in its shell.
Though the branch is not two inches long, IL contain
white and do not appear TO the naked eye larger

If the vindctve course Of portion of the
Press, and iaciious clan of politicians towards
President Tyler, had the influence generally,

honors that he wears at her hands. But fortu-
nately for the defence Of truth, aud the viudica-
lion Ct justice, the motives of hi, adversaries
spriog from no object, of patriot IN aud no con-
siderations of merit. They have selfish, sordid
objects TO accomplish, and Mr.. Tyler is in the
way Of their success. This is transgression
enough to provoke their enmity ADD TO stimulate
them in their reckless crusade But they are
destined to tOil without reward: their me ms are
as impCtent as their objects are vcnal; and a
virtuous and enlightened people, have neither
sympa,hies nor affiliations with such factions.
The people love their country, and glory in its
prosperity, because they are the instruments TO
direct its course, and the recipients of lis fame
and its benefits. They also feel hat their great
and good men are the property in common of
the whole land and deserve protection rather than
abuse.
