Indifferent Men.

We find in the n. York Post the following
truthful remarks =
The men who are Indifferent to the claims
Of party, always vote against the party of Equal
Rights. They are men who have no interest
in political questions which do not directly eff
feet their business, and they invariably obey
their most selfish impulses. They rarely vote,
and when they do, it is 10 promote the interest
of class, to multiply special privileges and
monopolies in which they have or expect TO
have pecnuary interest. They are therefore
led by every instinct of their nature, 10 oppose
the democratic party most bitterly, when that
party is most pure and most firm in lis support
of the principles upon which true democracy
rests. Her enemies can threaten the demo-
cratic party with no disaster more fatal to its
character and success, than the support of such
men, for they are as body, grossly ignorant
in political matters; selfish and unprincipled
in all, and are never attracted to the support Of
any political organization which does not offer
substantial encouragement in corruption and
injustice The democratic party never did,
and never will, gain victory by the aid of

The CRY of Distress Repudiated.

The attempt on The part of the old bunker
wings of New York to max a panic out of the
sudden and unexpected contraction of the New
York Banks, to effect the Pennsylvania cleo
ton, has proved an entire failure and been
promptly repudiated by the new organization
of young ,rhigs which has been recently started
in New York. The general committee of this
organization speak cut in the following en-
phatic language:-
Resolred, That our country. now so free.
prosperous, and haPpy-,o blessed ,cith all that
as desirable M a land teeming toith plcnty-so
rich in the fruits Of iaternai and external ,oeaith
so mighty in the possession of vast rivers and
lakes, which are the great arteries of our con-
tinent and its commerce, surrounded by the
great oceans of enterprise and trade-citzens
of a country eminently intelligent, patriotic,
and industrious of country, too. in erery
thing 'aow indicating that glorious future which
has only been foreshadowed by the historical
past and the bolntjfui present" &C., sc.
This shows that the frightful pictures which
the old croakers of the whig party of New York
have been conjuring up are ignored as unwor-
thy of attention nay, they are promptly re-
pudated. The old cry that the revenue bill
would crush the energy and industry of the
country. and the independent treasury destroy
the currency, has been falsifed. for the state
of the country exhibits prosperity; labor finds
remunerating employment, capital finds profit
able investment and commerce abundant
freights; the revenue of the government has
increased, and unprecedented prosperity
abounds. And this is acknowledged by wing
organization of no little influence in the empire
State-whetier it is not entitled to as much
credit the cries of ruin that have been raised,
we leave our young wings to decide.

PRocLAMATIoN.-President Fillmore has is
sued another proclamation-aimed at those,
who, he says, who have formed an expedition in

country. Carvajal, Canales, Gonzales, and
other Mexicans have commenced revolution

rama of New York City,-Sir, Having visited
Mr. Billiards. Panorama of the City of New
York, while il has been on exhibition in this
city, we take much pleasure in saying that we
have found it all it purports 10 be, the most
magnificent work of art Of the kind we have
ever seen.
Therefore, we feel called upon to commend
it to the favorable notice and patronage of the
public in The different cities and villages where
il may be exhibited, as work of great merit,
and one that cannot fail to interest and profit all
such as may patronlze it.
A large portion of our scholars visited it the
first day it was on exhibition in this city, and
were highly pleased with it; it has, while on
exhibition here, given the most perfect saiisfac-
ton 10 all, and we take this opportunity 10 adj
wise all School Teachers to attend the exhibi.
ton with their scholars whenever they can FIND
it convenient TO do so.
