Mr. Editor I'll am a Liberty man; l
believe that every person has an equal
right to all the privileges Of that Liberty
gained by our forefathers, and the liberty
OF The gospel of Christ. Our cause is a
good cause-owned and blessed of high
Heaven-but in my opinion our Liberty
friends are travelling out of the Gospel
rule in raising Cedar poles for Idols to
worship. May we not be raised upon the
pole of imagination too high2 But let our
minds ascend up 10 that God that has said,
you shall have no other Gods besides Me.
Iu so doing we shall prevail-the day will
be ours-soon the sound of Liberty and
emancipation in its true light will be
heard through our land.

A letter from Washington Irving, da-
ted Barcelona, July 18th, in reference to
the Life of Washington, which he had
intended to write during his residence in
Spain, says:-My own state Of health
has obliged me, for nearly 18 months past
to suspend all literary occupations, other
than what is connected with official du-
ties; and though am nearly freed from
the herpetic malady which has so long
harassed me, propose to devote the res
idue of this summer to a tour ofhealth.
and not to resume my pen until autumn.

Newspaper borrowers are always the
keenest critics. Their noses snuff polu
ton and their pure eyes drop water at
error, which they steal to read and cheat
to obtain. Those who pay for their pa
pers always have big bucket in their
hearts filled with the milk OF human kind
ness; and they comment with indulgence.
1t takes one of your stealing and borrow

Prisoner. When General Jackson began to
make war on it.
People How is it that General Jackson is such
high authority with you? Did yo not at one time
assert publicly that he would, if elected to the
Presidency, "prove a curse to the country" and
say many other things derogatory to his intellect
and character!

baeking in the sunshine of popular favor, made
ample atonement for my offences against him, by
being one of his most devoted and ubedient fol-

People. Were you not once violently opposed
to what il called the Sub Treasury scheme! Did
you not denounce it in unmeasured terms, and
predict that if it were adopted it would prove ru-

Prisoner. did.
People. What induced you to change your
opinion!
Prisoner. My party, after having denounced it
as bitterly as ever did, took it up, and | could
not afford to be left in minority.
People. Did you not follow William G. Rives
in denouncng the Sub Treasury, and afterwards
denounce him for sticking to the text from which
you yourself had SO often preached!
Prisoner. did, because Mr.. Rives adhered OBJ

Thomas and William Gilbert, II Leonard street,
was entered by two men, who Immediately
seized the former, who was in one of the narlors
above, and demanded money. He denied hav-
ing any IN his possession, when the rufians
threw him upon the floor and placed pillow
over his face to prevent him from making an
alarm, and immediately forced rope into his
mouth and attempted to gag him, and then tied
his hands and legs. They then again demanded
money, when he gave them two sovereigns and
some small change which he had in his pocket.
This did not satisfy the rogues when they threat
ened his life, and he told them that they would
lind $l5Oin small table in the basement below.
They descended, and returned without making
the discovery, and again used threats to intimi-
date him to reveal where his money was kepts
but becoming alarmed, fled from the premises
