From the Spirit Of Jefferson.
Treason In the Camp

correspondent of the last weeks Free Press who is
for Clay first and Clay all the lime, makes terrible on
slaught upon his political brethren who manifest desire
to sacrifice principle to sabserve erpsdieney He ad
OF the impetuous, though less honest, of his
wing brotherhood. Take for example the following
"What evidence have that he Gen. Taylor advo-
Gates the principles of the whig party None. He tells
us he would have voted for Jackson He also tells he
would have voted for Clay This proves that the democrats
have as large share OF his patronage the wings. He
also says he win the candidate of any party
To vote for him under these circumstances prorss that all
pretenstons 10 principles but empty We have
been once deceived by voting for whose prime pies
we did not know that ought TO teach lesson soon
be forgotten am prophet, neither am the son
OF prophets but predict if the wings Gen Taylor,
IL will be the funeral dirge of the party Furthermore,
we should be alarmed the military spirit which pre-
dominates throughout the country and check if possible,
this growing evil whchhas been the downfall Of nations
and empires, and WILL ea be the downfall of own,
unless the people prevent it by their action"
This is the honest sentiment of at least thirds of
the wing party OF Jefferson.

Is II the intention OF the wings to vote men and money
10 the Senate and House to carry the war; Both ars
necessary As to the FIRST the ten regiment bill is still
pending in the Senate and from present appearances
many weeks may elapse before a final VOTE and then
the result in the House is doubtful As to the loan, it
was recommended in the Presidents message and the an
nusl report OF the Secretary OF the Treasury Both pro-
posed SIX per cent treasury notes. (not less than $780,
fundable as six per cent stock and both recommended
duty on tea and coffee In several successive commu
ncaons during the month Of January. the Treasury De-
partment has urged the necessity of prompt action II
has expressed the confident opinion that the money
be obtained at or above par six per cent treasury
notes and stock, Including the duty tea and coffee
The wings however must certainly defeat the loan by
the course they pursuing, insisting on naked
six per cent stock which be negotiated at par
unless we have peace and in that event. should
no loan But the best way insure peace is provide
ample resources in men and money for the prosecution
OF the war; and if peace now. the money will
not be expended. The delay in acting upon the loan
must very soon produce great embarrassment to the
treasury and indeed, nothing but the immense receipts
in January lsiseyceeding thus far. by nearly million
OF dollars, the receipts in January, $780, January
ls47-have maintained the public credit Delay in pass
ing the loan bill is nearly injurious the credit of the
government as voting down the loan To vote the bill
in the form proposed by the wings, is equivalent
to refusal of the loan and they must take before
the country the heavy responsibilities, of delay
ing, and probably defeating, the ten-regiment bill ;
ed, of delaying the loan, and thereby mpairing the
public credit; 3D., of passing the loan bill in such form
that the money cannot be obtained Their present move
mens to indicate it be their settled purpose to
withhold supplies both Of men and money, for they will
accomplish both by blow in passing the loan bill in
the form proposed by them We shall observe their
movements, point out the necessary result OF their de-
lays and of their votes and appeal TO the people TO

try We have desire wantonly to offend the leaders
of the wing party But such is deep conviction OF
the impoicy, the danger the revolving factious char
acter OF their course, that pledge ourselves to the
country to do duty earessy and faithfully, as we

steamer Acadia which reached Boston from Liverpool
last evening, after passage of seventeen days
She sailed from Liverpool the 18th OF January and
consequently brings intelligence fifteen days later than
that brought by the Caledonia.
There had been more failures in London and Glasgow
as well the continent The unsatisfactory state OF
the British revenue has wholly couneracted the tendency
TO Improvement that beginning TO be felt in mercan

gushing condition. ssa
There was still further decline in cotton; quotations
being from 3D. 10 3D. lower than the quotations by the
