that the ultra wing policy of Henry Clay,
may become the permanent policy OF The
country that bank may be established,
the present tariff be perpetuated and render
ed more restrictive and odious, the proceeds
of the public lands be distributed, the state
debts assumed, internal Improvements in the
states be projected, and kindred views and
spirit pervade all the acts of government.
We tremble. because we are confident the
utter proslration of all that rs beneficial for
the mass belongs to this policy. 1t is the
policy of England. 1t is the policy which
makes powerful and splendid government;
which builds the palace, and in IFS shadow
the cherries and comfortless howell. Ii
makes the rich richer, and the poor poorer ;
it divides the country into wealth on one
side and labor on the other, and gives TO
wealth the power of doing as it pleases.-
There is no equality in it but the extreme
of every thing except happincss-the ex-
tremes of wealth and poverty, OF labor and
idleness. In fact makes and susains go
vernment like that of England, which Alex
ander Hamilton, John Adams, and others,
the fathers of the policy now embodied in
Henry Clay, considered the best govern
ment in the world. We do ardently desire
to see all restrictions of legislation upon the
commerce and currency of the country re-
moved. We know, that if they ale removed,
the whole business of the country will flow
in natural and healthy channel, because |.
will be regulated by natural and healthy
agents /; and we desire TO see these res'ric-
lions removed, because, in addition 10 the
unnatural state of things which they create,
they serve the trick OF the arlstocracy by
filching, penny by penny, the hard earnings
of the laborer, and sustain in idleness host
upon his toll. The less government has to
do with these matters-the fewer its enact
ments-,he palmer and simpler all its ope-
rations-the better for the people. There
is nothing in the language more beautiful,
nor which conveys in more comprehensive
manner what is desired by the Democracy,
than the language of Andrew Jackson:-
g That it is plain system of government,
void OF pomp, protecting all, and granting
favors to none, that the people can hope for
happiness. The blessings of government,
like the dews of Heaven, should be dis
pensed alike upon the itch and the poor"

TNHE Subscriber would respectfully call the at
Il ten,ion OF The citizens OF Southport and the
pablo generally, to the important fact, that he
now receiving and opening the most extensive,
well as best and most carefully selected, assortment
of English and Domestic Shelf Hardware, Cut
lery, Stoves, Iron, Nails, Steel, Glass, &c, that
has ever as yet been offered TO the people OF this
and the adjacent counties. The subscriber has
the assurance say that he can and will sell. ar
tcles in his distinct branch of business, at prices
that will admit OF the slightest compettion.-
The fact that he purchases for cash, and cash only,
will alone warrant the above assertion. lie also
possesses many other real and solid advantages
over dealers generally, and especially over those
who give Hardware comparatively little attention.
His long experience in the business, and know
ledge of every article OF hardware his particular
acquaintance with the Importing Houses and Com
mission men of New York and Albany cities, and
with all the Manufactures OF the Eastern cities
and country, affords HIM superior advantages
thereby enabling hun to purchase with cash, from
first hands, prices low as any OF the city job
bers, consequently saving that profit which most
others unavodably pay the regular wholesale
city Merchant. The subscriber is that fla
ming advertisements have from time TO time been
publ shed 10 this community, which as often have
ended in mere smoke. Therefore he would truly.
in this card TO the public, avoid al flight Of nagi.
nation, and seek only to present such matter of
facts, as would strictly accord with honest deter=
minatlon and future welfare. The subscriber is
resolved to deal exclusively in Hardware, and to
give il his undivided attention The business shall
be conducted on fair and honorable principles, sys
TEN and prices UNIFORM; and he hopes, that by
steady observance OF the above rule of conduct, to
merit the confidence and patronage of Tie inhabi-
tants of this town and the surrounding country
Carpenters, Cabinet makers, Wagon makers.
Blacksmths, Farmers, and all persons wanting
Hardware, are solicited to an examination Of his
Stock, and prices, before purchasing elsewhere.
