The honam had 1.0 bribe Press, hut Mr. V. liuren has, Pi-ess, which with a few exceptions, is no more the .louni il of St. Petersvery, very free than the Journ il of St. Petersburgh, cr the Journals of Vienna a Press which will not, and if it would, darj not tell the (ruth paid, as it is, for falsehood, bribe to perjury, eating its very bread, and depending for its very sustenance upon deceit and per1 version. Mr. Van Daren, through

his ollices, owns nearly all that part of proper, choose9 lo make his heir elect, the Press that support him, and do We apprehended that these are amwhat he may, be he as corrupt as he pie causes for erousing the people,

pleases, that Press dare not speak of, I i . . h t orexnosenis corruption, atiain, ne has the Post office a machine of corruption the Romans had not a machine reaching into every town nnd village, of this country from the Western civiliz ition, even to the river St. John, in Maine, by which he acts upon "public sentiment," and manufaclures "oublic oninion." now drumaling up his officeholders here, and now commanding them to utter his in dignation, there. Talk of a standing army! WhykLouis Philipe's not under half this discipline. Its officers and soldiers are not corrupt, the Cos-

sacks only, the Tartars and (he Huns

nre thus obedient; and sudi perfect men rrachiens. Mr. Van Buren is their idol. They adore him because he ia l)eir d of d i . Another similarity there is now be tween our destiny and that of Rome Our country, or government hardly belonging to us now, is rapidly beginning to belong to foreigners who are soldiers in this Praetorian Band of which we have spoken, and who boast there of making, and controllina our rulers as thev ulease. F.dn . - cated in foreign countries, to be the instruments of power, accustomed all their lives to be led and to obey, attracted, as it were, byjthe pomp und show of rank, we can never unite such men with us, or make aught of them as American citizens. To be in power with such men, is a sufficient reason why worship should be given, and as they are accustomed to worship rank at home, so they worship it here, ns the Hindoo worships his idols, as tne victim of Suggernaut worships the rolling car. Exceptions there are to these remarks, many, very many bright and brilliant too, but that par-ti-ular class of foreigners to whom at h.ome, and here they only thaiig--cloud and tky, to woiship lory ni-iiUia j ?!ill. Again then; is an unhiallhy state , of the public mind. The si izure thai . . . - Geo.

All these symptom-, or the life of which, any one can see, who will read SaHusl's at count of the civil cumulations ol Rome, or any oi j the chronicles ol an cai ly j Wealthy too we are getting, as the Romans wire. Luxury ia io!luvi... and corruption wiii follow, least we beware, in its train. In tiulh, has it not already followed.' Aie not opin ions now publicly pi oc.laimed which a few years ago, would have shocked Ihe whole public mind, and have nun ed the man who uttered thtm- Pol example, the doctrine ol Gov. Marry, that to the victors belong the spoils, ten years ago, instead of making him Governor of the State, would have better fitted him in estimation of his party, for the insane asylum. What is the remedy for tjiis stale of thing! We call upon nil good and wise men seriously to consider, and seriously topicss home the questions. Sleep atyour posts if you choose, but see your destiny written with terror amid the ruins of the Republics of 1tnly. Assure as there is uught of truth in our history, slavery and despotism follow the inactivity of the middle classes of society. What reason have we to promise this land an exemption from the Police, the Passports, the monarches, the nobles, the standing ai mi s, oppressions and taxes of the old world? Are we more virtuous' Go and see. Why flatter we ourselves then an exemption from have alieady. In Europe , nobles they ' arc called ; in America we call them etliee holders. The I olice we have i "heady too. A man cannot entertain , an opinion here adverse to the power ' that be, and nol sutler for il, if he has ' tbe least perquisite under the governihe Icasl perquisite under llie govern ment. Ollice holdeis again are but ! another name for a standing .army, An attempt is also making to saddle a monaichy upon us in the form of an i election by a Diet of cilice holders, J Polished nobles as it were, of a man i whom our President in default ol heirs j and lor arousing ourselves 10 sirenous 1 I A Jifn rl inn 7 baa I i , aim iiiiiiicumic nmun. tve see in them, oral least we think we see, strong nnd loud reasons demanding union, and action on the part of every man who has aught of patriotism or virtue. If Mr. Van Duren can suc ceed in making himself President as Hie nominee of his predecessor, and of the cHice holders in the Baltimore Di 1 et if it be settled that the few in 6uch a convention are to supersede the election of the many in our primary assembles: ir the principle be tixed that the people are but to record, the scribes ol the office holders in a con-

venlion held far from their homes, the principles of liberty, of equality, of free and unbiassed suffrage, are all overlhrown, ana- our republic ,s but an oligarchy , already hastening to the. sad destiny of Rome and of Venice, and of Genoa. Fortune it is for us, that in General Harrison we have a candidate for opposition who comes before us without a single predodice the son ol a signer ol the Declaration of Independence the successful Gen'l and accomplished otiicer on our North Western Frontier, a lii,k as it were between the days of the Old and the New times, whose principles are ours, w hose virtues are undaunted, whose popularity is almost uiuxampleded in the History of American Politics, f. A ac York Express. From the Lexington (Ivy.) Observer of November "Jlurriage Extraordinary ! ! M A ItHIED In Scott county, on the Gilt inst., by the Rev. , Mr. 'J'ivmis . Sco, a white man, to Miss Ad'iline J . Johnston, a mullatto girl , and reputed, or acknowledged daughter of the Honorab'c R. M. JOHNSON, one of the Ilijircsrntalivcs of the State, of Kentucky tj the Congress vj the United States.

A few days after Mr. Scott hecamn ihe happy husband of the fair and lovely Adel tie, he was presented .by ,er father, the "good Colonel with it iie tract of land known as the L5:a j Spring Fai m,lor w hich a deed has been regularly made and entered on reroid in the cilice of the Clerk of the Scott county Court.

The laws of Kentucky foibid under the heavy penalties, a w hite man marrying a i.egro c r mulatto, or living with one in the character of man and wife. Why should Pence and Sco'l not be held amenable to the laws? What arc the Grand Jury of Scott nbout? Are they not sworn to take cogniz nice of all violations of the laws of the country, and to present all who commit them? Will they sutler Pence and Scott to go unpunished bcc-iuse they have become the sons in-law ofCol. Johnson We hope not. We hope to sec the supremacy of the laws of the country maintained, und persons high in t flice should be made to feci their weigh;." WHAT I LIKE TO SEE. I like to sec a woman out in the morning scrnpii)g up chips to build u j fire and her husband in bed; it shows' that she thinks more of him than she does of herself. , 1 like to see moi chants and medianjts te, p their shop doors and windows closed until the sun is an hour high; it shows thev are indenendpnt. ana shows they are independent, and usk no favors of their customers. I like to fee young women walking the streets on Sundays in their silks. with holes in their stockings: it showc they are more attentive lo things above than below. 1 like to see men crowding round the bar room Monday morning before sun rise ; it shows their anxiety to get their week s employment in good season. I like to sec women send their butter to maiket in a dirty cloth: il show' economy as it saves washing. i line 10 see men pay meir aeots on the back of an executiou: it saves trouble hereafter. Above all, I like lo see young women, stop a whole congregation from going out of a meeting house, white they stand chattering in the piles: it shows they mind their business.
