A correspondent of the N. Y. Commercial
Advertiser who has recently made " north
ern tour" stirs up our local pride a little by
the following %alIusion to our steamboats,, our
college, and townsman.
But what a beautiful boat have we here-,he bur
linston;" Who would have expected such n gem Of
an ESTABLISHMENT on n little lake? But was a no.
vice-Ctamplaln IS not SO very little, and the Bur
lington has been heard Of beforehand her captain
too-Sherman-the most popular of STEAMBOATS,
chiefs. How they would stare at such a boat in the
mighty Tens And the berths the breakfast-thc
w~aiters-perfect, altogether. Those nice title lads.
IN Their nice white jackets and jaunry linen caps, zas~
Iy set off with plail scarfs, who would n, be a wait
er? An incident honorable to Captain Sherman -
Six girls in a poor English family of emigrants on
board, strewed along in the engine room, glad Of a
cheap chance to get warmed. The captain took them
into the cabin, where they edited the passengers with
some singing OF anthems, and a hat passed round
collected for them a nice little lot of silver coin, which
no doubt helped them on their way rejoicing. prac-
teal answers, such incidents, 10 the charge that
Americans hate England and the English!
By the way, | forgot, at Burlington, to tell you Of
two things-the library of the University and that of
Geo. P. Marsh. Esq, now member of Congress-
The Vermont University has n library, better selected,
SO far as it goes, than any l have seen in the United
States. IL is only a pity Their is not more Of it. The
institution is lourshing %heallhily. Its situation and
that of the town itself are charming,-even in This
wIntry aspect. The lake, in this part. is very like
that of Lucerne, one of the finest in Switzerland
Mr.. Marsh's library is a very remarkable one. His
| collection of. Swedish, Danish and I~celandish litera-
ture is probably unequuliod cut uf those countries, if
indeed it car be matched there. He has all the ehoic-
est works in the whole range of Scand navian li,era-
ture, ancient and modern, and a valuable seres also
in German, Italian and Spanish. His collection OF
engrayIngs is doubtless unrivalled in this country;
including specimens of nearly every encraver of note
since the discovery of the art. Mr.. Marsh has also
collected many costly books OF prints, and rare works
IN nils Iflr Irn c n that he Ihr.rr ,.,o,tI e-
prise many a ~fastdious bibliomaniac of the old world;
and yet he has never been in Europe. A reference
to such a collection of rare gems OF art and litera-
ture, in a private house of a little village Of Vermont.
might make n paragraph in the journals of many q
fippant foreign tourist; but bar-rooms, stage coaches
and steamboats, are more amusing and picturesque.

STACY Us. TRACY.

Walton's Journal, in recording the cleo
ton of Judges, announced Mr.. Stacy rs
nominating Hon. Daniel Kellogg, and the
error was inadvertently copied into our COL

by Mr. Tracy, and not by us. We neither
counseled advised nor approved the proceed

E-TJoHN Quincy ADAMS was expected a, Cincin-
natl on the morning of the Sih INST. which is the date
of our last advices. He had been received with III
highest honors and a universal II t-pouring of thea
People AT every place where he stopped on his route
at Erie, Pa. Cleveland, Akron, &c. He has consent
ed to deliver a lecture at Louisville, Ky. and the lare-
est Church in the City had been engaged for the o-
casinn, and would be crowded. This testimonial to
the worth and services of Mr.. Adams is the more
striking as rendered by a slave holding community,
which, il is popularity supposed, never tolera,es an
open opponent of Slavery.

Concert among the friends OF the People, II
honestly managed, would no doubt be very use
FOL in counteracting the effects OF concert and
organization among the enemies OF the People.
But unfortuuately,jt is liable To two most serious
objections First, that il presupposes the ina
biliy OF the People TO take care OF themselves
and, secondly, that the direction of il is very
apt, through intrigue and corruption, to get into
the hands Of pretended friends Of the People
IL is more easy 10 mislead or corrupt a small
body of men, however select or intelligent than
the mass of the People and if The principle be-
comes settled, that the decree of that small body
no matter hat name il bears, or how created
or organzed-shall be immulable, and so binding
upon whole party, that none shall venture to
disobey it, under the penalty of being branded
as treacherous, dshonorable, or wanting in pa
triotism, the country must finally be subjected
to an arstocracy still more odious even than
that Of wealth-an arstocracy Of Machiavel-
liam inlriguers an oigarchy of political swim
dlers and hypocrites, whose sway will be as Sc
cret, as crafty, as pervading and remorseess as
that of the Venetian Council of Ten, or of the
Spanish lnquisilion.
The safety Of the People calls loudly for the
demolition Of this corrupt and dangerous poliii-
cal machinery, more threatening to their welfare
and Liberties than even Free Masonry could be, if
systematically perverted to political purposes.
And it is our sincere conviction that the People
could find no more suitable or efficient leader
in contest with it, than the President who had
the boldness and independence TO spum the dc
lation OF party managers, in firm reliance on
the spontaneous justice aud intelligence Of the
mass ofthe People.
