30 long we have been looked upon as the mere
machines TO elevate others TO power, without
thought being bestowed on our own welfare or me-
cessities Large and heavy appropriations have
been made for the support Of the Navy. OF what
does the meaning of that word consist? why,
Navy Officers! Each year has the CRY of ECON
ONLY been raised-who has suffered under that
cry2 Why, the Workngmen! While they
have been most cruelty curtailed in their daily
pay, the salaries of the officers have been main
tanned and sometimes increased. Are these things
rghtE Every man must answer, No! We
have demanded work, and the reply has been that
we have vessels. enough. Let us then demand
that the officers of the Navy be reduced 10 the
wants of the service-that we may be relieved Of
million, or more, of burden, in the shape of sala
ries TO these very officers. Let demand that
all those officers who hold, or desire to hold. civil
stations, shall resign their commissions, and stand
on an equality with their fellow citizens and not,
as now, permit them to make room for others to
get Lille estate upon the income of the country.
Let us no longer fight battles where we can gain
nothing, and where we lose all. Let us unite
and send men TO Congress. and to the Legislature
who will pledge themselves TO exert their nAu-
ence, to exercise economy in the proper quarter
TO place the civil Offices OF the Government il the
hands of civilians. 1t is the only sure and effec-
,ual method 10 produce healthy tone of action in
the Administration, and to do justice TO all par
ties. II is not in the nature of things and it ought
not TO be expected, that men. brought up to arbi-
trary command, can exercise the functions of civil
life, with that expanded and liberal principle,
which must govern, to dojuslce 10 all the various
interests in this country. The poet says
g Their home is the mountain wave
Their walk upon the Deep
and there, when duty or necessity calls, let them
be found but. for God sake keep them out of the
Departments at Washington-and out of the m eat
tubs, the workshops and store houses of the ma
ton. In those places they are worse than rats in
a ship.
You made me blush 10 see my former article
brought prominently forward, but could not
complain at the compliment, and | shall leave
this to be disposed of as you may think proper.

GOALS OF FIRE.

1t is no more than just to acknowledge the
respectful notice of our friends, and we of course,
tip our hat to " A Farmer who appeared in the
Norfolk Herald while we were on our visit TO
Richmond. The " Beast of the county wheth-
er lion or puppy, we cannot say, having
tasted the sweet blood of the towns purse, is
vigorously opposing any withdrawal of the victim.
We were struck with the admission that the
whole town was in favor of Incorporation,
and strongly intimating that the county will run
t,co country county candidates. What, is Sc A
Farmer" afraid to trust Capt Watts, to whom
alone, the county is indebted for the defeat of the
petitioners in the late application to the Legisa-
ture. Oh, Ingrattude, Ingrattude! Thou art

poets to this Farmer more particularly, when
the time arrives for action. We have too i'm

THE MORMONS

Speaking ofthe removal of these people, the S..
Louis Republican states that The ten or twelve bnns
bred who have already crossed the river from
Nauvoo ARE encamped on Sugar Creek, Iowa.
seven miles distant Among them are the T,reIps.
the High Council, all the principal men of the
church, and about one hundred females. They
were several days and nights in getting across
the river. 1t is the plan of the leaders to send
this company forward as pioneer corps. They
are to proceed about five hundred miles westward.
where they are to halt, build village, and put
IN spring crop. They are to remain there I'M
til those who follow in the spring reach them,
when another pioneer company will start for
point five hundred miles still further west,
where they will stop, build village, and put
IN fall crop. The company remaining behind
Will, in the spring, move on to this second sta
non; and IN this manner they hope to accom-
psh the long journey which is in contemplation.
Many of those who now go as pioneers are to re-
turn, so soon as their crop is in, for their families
There is spice Of romance about this arrange
ment tor their journey-an apparent indifference
10 the suiierngs which they must undergo con-
hdence in the plans and orders of their church
Ieaders-which must attract some portion of the
public sympathy, even though it be undeserved
Their future jourDeyings will be observed with
interest"

VERY GOOD!

A correspondent, Of the Washington Union
gives the following in illustration of the British
scheme to get and keep possession Of Oregon:

was engaged in an exploration of the country

ten miles above the mouth Of SAID creek, an ex.
tenslve clearing. owned by gentleman residing
IN the city of Richmond. Va, where farming,
planting tobacco, and raising some little cotton,
was carried on, on an extensive scale, under the
snpenntendance of an agent, and worked by two
hundred or more slaves, with whom he (the cap
laln) opened trade for his Yankee notions, in
exchange for some money, and such other articles
as suited him, by way Of barter. The captain
being much pleased with this enterprise, promised
20 return IN the following season with such an
additional assortment Of wares as would supply
lhe wants of the farms, SSc. PunclnaI to his
promise, at the time named the captains schoon-

THE BUREAUS-A PROTEST FROM
IHE

We again make way, in our editorial columns,
for another Essay from the pen of "A Working
man. which, if his fingers have not the fexibili-
ty of those of practical Scribe, will he found as
powerful in the expression of thought as his

son and, in fact, 10 all who desire to do Justice
and preserve the triumphant unity of our party.
We looked with utter establishment, ourselves. at
the provisions of the bill introduced by Mr.. King,
and can account for it, on no other ground, than
that he and the Committee have been deceve
by the representations of the '' Old Fogies who
are biletted upon the Navy Department in Wash

there is no knowledge Of nautical matters, or prac-
teal ship building. We hope our ever watchful,
and able friend, the Hon. Mr.. Bayly, who is on
that Committee, has entered his protest against
1t. We sure he has But should this great
wrong be consunmated by its passage in the
House of Representatives, we shall look for its
rejection by the Senate; and should they also be
poisoned by the Circean Cup, and forget right

dent, to exercise the mighty VETo--the only
conservator of Liberty, which such undying
laures for the Hero of New Orleans, and placed
honest JOHN TYLER by his side on the roll of
fame. If all fails us-then God, and them
selves, must the Workingmen depend for relief
not till all else has failed us must we dissolve the
bands of party. 1t has been the pride and boast
of our party that their object was the benefit of

the final acion-give full and ample time to our
rulers to perfect their policy. 1t is time enough
