From HIS Men Hampshire Patriot
THE WASHINGTON CIODE

An unprinciped Migrate, Isaac Hill, who ha.
been elevated successfully TO the distinguished posts
Of Governor Of the State and United States Senator
has now turned his back upon those Who In the hour
Of his necessity, befriended him. &c.
We never expected TO such an article as the
above copied with appreciation by Fra,,eis p Blair.
or that he would make his paper the willing rec.pta
Gle Of whatever fasebood and abuse might be written
by unprncipled ofceseekers and knaves abou, Isaac
Hill. As between Isaac Hill ard Francis Preston
Blair the world can judge which is the more &" un-
principed ingrste," Himself the defender and sup
porter Of the corrupt bargain Of Henry Clay with
John @ Adams, what Is now his treatment of Amos
Kendall while "poor and in p'isonF WsIlowing in
wealth and wassai the recipient OF at least HUNDRED
thousand dollars Of the public MONEY wh>re h. perer

to make any unprovoked attack upon ono Of those
who spent hours and days when he should be asloep

Our attention has been called 10 several valu-
able reports which have been communicated to
Congress during IFS recent session by the Score
tary of the Navy, among which is one upon the
subject Of the cultivation and preparation OF
hemp. which imbodies large amount Of mos,
valuable information collected by the Hon.
Secretary from various foreign and domestic
sources, and for which the country is under
great obligations 10 him.
The preparation of water-rotted hemp is but
little understood in this country, though vast
quaplities of it are annually imported and con-
sumed, but it will not be the fault of the Secre-
tary of the Navy if we are .nany years longer
dependent on foreign source for this article.
Our columns have been SO much burdened
during the session of Congress, that we have
not been able TO publish even statement Of the
substance Of this and other interesting documents
that have come under our notice, but if ii be
possible, this, so importan. and valuable to the
whole West, shall have place, if not al length,
at least in condensed form.

From the Old School Rtpubliean

What in the world will become Of the President of
the United States' Sir Robert Peel attacks him
over the other side Of the water, Mr. Benton Of the
Senate and Messrs Benton aud Blair of the "Globc
are still firing their hot shot a, him this side of
the big heron pond.n Will il be believed, these
most loyal, country loving people, the one citizen
Ct England and the other two citizens Of the United
States quarrelling with the President about the
treaty made between their respective countries'
This may be all right but we confess ourselves in
capable Of understanding il. treaty is made,
which is so unpopular in England to force Sir Ro-
bert Peel in sefdefepce TO attack the President of
the United States. The same treaty is so disgr &C.
ful 10 the United States IN The opinion Of Mr.. Benton
and .Nesus Benton and Blair Outstanding the peo-
pie think IL very proper treaty, they are induced,
for the love Of country, TO abn9 the President
in their very best style. The Statesman, IT appears
has Just discovered that Messrs Benton and Blair arc
opposed to the treaty.
IL Sir Robert Peel, the other side, and
Messrs Benton and Blair this side, will but content
themselves with firing their paper pellets we think
the people Of the United States will take Of their
President without the loss of limb life. Should
Sir Robert, however, take il into his head to send
Queen Victoria hired soldiers with powder and
BALL and put them under the command of their allies
this side, we doubt not the people OF the United
States would still take care OF their President, but
in that case, there would probably be some hard
fighting, for II is said MIR Benton " used to wasn a
horse IN oonsbai
After ALL it may he that Sir Robert is playing into
the hands Of the Wings. His clustering may be de-
signed TO brighten the people Of the United States
into the assumption Of State debts In that case Mr.
Benton must be considered as aiding his friend,
Harry Of the West''-fu6llng his part of the con-
trsct-doing his pretosi break down the President
OF the United States lie, all this be So and still the
people will triumph the triple league. The Pre-
sdent, in the discharge OF his high and responsible
duties will protect the honor of the country from

umpbantly above his and their enemies.

INFRINGEMENT.

On Friday night. we see by the Senate pro-
ceedings. some $4,000 were voted to Gales
and Sea,on for books debates, &c.) to be dis
,ribuled among the members Of the House
Mr.. Arnod's share was something like $1,000
worth.
By another act Of the same Congress, the
publication Of the Laws was Discontinued IN
the papers in the different States, which not
only saved the Government $500, but prevent
ed The Executive from appointing the journals
friendly TO him TO insert them. SO the People
will be saved the expense of printing the doings
of Congress, and also sapea The trouble Of
reading Them, unless they take the Washing
ton papers

THE cosr OF PRESIDENT MAKING.

We do not feel bound 10 exercise towards the
defunct Wing Congress the charity incolcatsd
BY the old Latin p,overb; for though the Con-
gress itself is happily no more, the individuals
who composed it are still alive and merry. We
may be allowed, therefore. while these faithful
servants are on their way home rejoicing, 10
take brief aud impartial review Of the cost
and results Of their patriotic labors.
The main purpose and promise Of this Con-
gress, as all the world knows, was to relieve the
dis,resses Of The People. Probably they thought
that this purpose would be sufficiently accom-
pished il they relieved the distresses Of the Re
presentatives Of the People; for, rs whatever is
done by the representatives Of the People is
considered as done by the People, so whatever
is received BY the representatives Of the People
should be considered Is received by the People.
IL this logical view Of the matter be correct, the
People certainly received on over-abundance Of
relief. ~ will appear BY the following abstract Of
the several acts appropriating moneys for the
support Of their representatives in the 9th

WING VICTORY IN GEORGIA.

The recent triumphant election of Mr..
Crawford, the Wing Candidate, to supply
the vacancy occasioned by the recent de-
cease Of Mr.. Habersham, late Representa-
tive in Congress from Georgia, shows that
the Wing Party in the South is yet alive.
and only requires fitting opportunity to
give ample evidence of its vitality. The
National Intelligencer has the following re-.
marks upon the result of that election.
For ourselves, philosophizing upon the
clamorous and uproarious JOY of our adver-
saries on one side. and the composed and
noiseless tenor of the course of the great
Wing party on the other, we have come to
conclusions as to 4Ae real relative strength
of each party very different from those
boastfully claimed on the one hand, and
seemingly half acquisced in on the other
To our mind, it seems that the first of these
parties may well be likened to the winter
brook, swelled by casual rains to more than
its usual volume, spoutiDg and roaring a
mong the rocky fragments in its shallow
bed, until its hoarse voice is heard above
all other sounds; whilst the latter party
more resembles the stream of the valley,
whose stillness-and, we had almost said,
whose sullenness-is the surest indication of
depth and power sufficient to defy every at
tempt to bar its onward course to the ocean.
We have never for moment doubted that,
when the time for the trial of strength shall
come, the Wing party, now quiet and unas.
Stunning, will come forth in its power, and be
found strong enough yet, as it was found in
the year eighteen hundred and forty, to
bear down all opposition. Nor do we at this
moment doubt that the power is in the Wing
party, if they choose to make use of it,not-
withstanding all that has passed, and all
that is said and pretended, to elect from its
own ranks majority of the Members of the
next House of Representatives.

ATTEMPT TO AssAssINATH Mr.. Clay
The New Orleans Bee of 4th instant says,
the citizens were thrown into CONSTIPATION
yesterday by report that an attempt had
been made to assassinate Mr.. Clay, in the
Supreme Court. The true version of the
story appears to be this: while our distin.
guished guest was leaving the court,in COM
pany with Mr.. Preston, an individual out
side the railing exclaimed "Salute to Hen
ry Clay" and discharged pistol above his
head, the ball lodging in the ceiling. Drey-
fous is the name of the person in question !;
he is looked upon as somewhat unsettled in
his irtellects. He was Immediately ares
ted, and taken before the Recorder, where
the affair was investigated. Dreyfous was
sent to prison, the Recorder recommending
that he should be treated with all possible
mlldness, as his mind was evidently disor-
dered.
