From the ALBANY Argus.l

The Eve, Journal falls into the usual error of all
Wing papers, of confounding Democracy with
Agrariansm. They are almost as distinct as light
and darkness. II is not to the taste of that paper
that the Argus stigmatises the Wing Distribution
law as an Agrarian measure, for such it truly is.
Gen. JACKSON, in one of his Annual Messages
to Congress, recommended the Distribution of the
Proceeds of the Public Domain, "as the most just,
equitable and federal mode" of disposing of the
Surplus Revenue. Was that ian Agrarian mea-
sure!" Does the Argus intend to denonnce Gen.
Jackson as ian Agrarian Z" We ask a direct
repy 10 this question.--Albany Eue. Jour.

"a BAND OF RENAGADES AND POLITI-
CAL ADVENTURES"

And who think you reader, are thus designated
by the Pittsburg Aurora and by the Globe las it
copies the artcle). The names of the individ-
uals are given as follows g the Hon. Willie p.
Mangum, the Hon. Daniel Webster, and Messrs.
Barrow, Choate Crittenden, and Rves, of the
Senate Gen. Scott, of the army" These are
the men whom the editor of the Aurora and the
editor of the Globe thus designate:
"These are the opponents" they say, "against
whom the Democracy are to do battle. We can
not 60 into the strife
With the true JOY that warriors feel
In foemen worthy of their Steel"
Against band of renegades and political adven-
turers we are to enter the lists-ed, it is true, by
an illustrous name, but whose supporters are
but sordd mercenares, and whose own glories
have been furnished by treachery and bad faith.
Daniel Webster, who, less than two years ago,
openly assailed the character of the Kentucky
statesman, now binds himself to his car. w. c..
Rives, traitor to the friends who gave him his
early eminence, fights with a halter round his
neck; and General Scott himself disappointed
aspirant enlists as an inferior where he wished
to lead. These are the men who at diplomatic
dinner, pledged themselves to support the hopes
of Clay, and arranged beforehand the spoils of
victory
Do these public lbelers of some of the most
distinguished men in the nation-men who have
won their way to fame and staten by pre-emnent
talents and important public services, expect their
wholesale ISLANDERS to be believed by single honest
and intelligent man in the United States! Why,
just as soon would perured william be credited
who should swear there was not man in the
community except himself worthy of belief upon
oath, or notorious trull who should testify that
there was not virtuous woman in the world
save herself Such wholesale denunciations
carry their own refutation with them: it is as if
the father Of lies" were testifying against those
he could neither tempt nor intimidate.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE STANDARD.

Sir: Will you have the goodness to enlighten
me in regard to the usages Of Washington, SO far
as to inform me whether the call, by card, Of a
private gentleman upon member of Congress,
imposes any obligation upon the latter to return
the call or send his card? If not, of course the
person calling has no reason to construe any me-
gect to return his call, as personal slight but
if the rules Of politeness require in Washington,
as they do elsewhere, a reciprocity of civilites
among men Of equal standing in the community,
except as to official rank, neglect to reciprocate
an act of politeness and respect is either to be
construed into personal slight, or an ignorance
on the part Of the person to whom the civility
has been paid, Of those rules.

We must inform "a Backwoodsman," who
we perceive is no Clown" thar we are not al
fat in the laws Of etiquette, as recognised in
this city but have always understood that civil
ity costs lillle and purchases much good opinion

courtesy 10 return a bow or any other act Of
respect. rE IS, The EDITOR.

SECRET SEssION.--ln recent debate in the
U. S. Senate, the records of the Senate, which
were read, showed the fact which may be new
to some of our readers, that during the early pc
riod of our Government the practice was for the
President, when the Senate was in Executive
session, to enter the chamber, and take his seat
by the side of the presiding officer, and there re-
ceive the counsel and advice of that body.-AL
bany Daily ADJ.
This is trae, but it was not found to be entirely
consistent with that free discussion which it is
necessary to indulge in at times in secret SEES
sion. The motives which prompted the nomina-
ton might come in question, and call forth freel
remark than the President would desire to lister
to. General Washington therefore discontinued
the practice, and adopted the more proper one O
sending messages to the Senate.
WARLIKE--The following resolution was late
ly presented and disposed of before the Legisla-
ture of Mississippi
"Resolued, That SO much Of the Governors
message as relates to the negotiations between

red to a select committee of FIVE members, with
instructions to bring in bill to declare war
against Mexico"
The resolution was at once rejected amid
laughter and applause.

SPANISH AFFAIRS.

In addition to the information concerning the
political condition of Spain which is impaired to
our readers in the excellent letters Of our Euro
pean correspondent, says the National Intelligent
Ger, we have received by late arrival from Eu-
rope information on which we rely, which leaves
very little reason to expect satisfactory issue to
the troubles in that country 1t is the opinion OF
our informant, who has the best possible oppor-
tunity for forming correct opinions upon the sub
ject, that the monarchy can scarcely be sustained
as things GO. The army was destroyed in the
insurrecton against Espartero as an instrument
of constitutional order; it can now be turned to
account only for despotism or anarchy. We may
expect by the next arrivals, to hear of the seces-
sion of the extreme Progressist parties from the
Cortes--an attempt by them to raise the provin-
ces against the Moderardo rule at Madrid-junc-
tons of several military corps and commanders
in aida stout resistance by General Narvaez,
with such troops as he can contrive to pay and,
in the end, martial law everywhere, or some new
rulers and system at Madrid, attended with the
expulsion of all the prominent Moderados. The
question Of an armed Intervention by France is
believed to be seriously entertained in the cabinet
councils of that country, but is believed to be i'm
practicable. To this subject the very frequent
and long interviews at Paris between Lord Cow
ley and M. Guizot are supposed to refer, more
than to the Greek question or the Legtimist
proclamation, at London, of the Duke of Bor-
deaux's premiership

The announcement Of a Ball to be given by the
Wings Of this city on the 22d of February, was an
earthquake shock to the nerves of the " Charcoal
Sketcher" of the Pennsylvania. He says it is a
part of the machinery of the campaign, and we
do not wish to change his opinion. He concludes
an article thus: 1t is said, indeed, that the book
with the yellow cover is to be gilt edged and
bound in morocco, and that all the other matters
are to be in the same exquisite taste. Who then
will deny that this is the age of improvement
of coonish progression 2"
We will inform him, that while some people
dance for Joy, others dance with extreme pain.
Thus the young beaux and bellies smile as they
trip it on the light fantastic toe," and the truant
urchln cries Justify while he dances to the music
of the pedagogue's rod. We dance because we
are overjoyed at the prospect of success, and in
about twelve months from this time neighbor
Neal and his party will be dancing with bare feet
upon the thistles which cover their plantations
away up Salt river. The only book they will
have will be James Buchanan's circular to the
Federalists of this State, and Martin Van Buren's
anti-Tariff letter. Ignorance secures the perpet-
uation of Federal Locofoco principles. Who then
will deny that their triumph will be complete
