FOR THE PALLADIUM. The Opposition presses throughout the

Uuioo are boosting ot me migmy acces

sion of strength their ranks have re

ccived by the recent defection of Thos.

Chilton, and hail it as the precursor of

the downfall 01 tha administration

and Chilton a the pioneer of thousands

of disappointed heartless politirians,

who seek-in the turmoil of parjy commotion their owfX aggrandizement and elevation. What particular excellence Chilton has discovered in Hnry Clay 6ince 1 827, to change the opinion he then entertained, is a mystery which he has not bd the candor to explain; and as he then said, that Clay had sold the vote of Kentucky for the secretary ship, may we not reasonably conclude thai Chilton too, has not only bad his price, but, like Clay, has been able to find a purchaser? Can it be that he hay been able to see so much error and mismanagement, fraud and corruption as to justify this treason to his conscience, to which all the lynx-eyed editors of the opposition have ' been blind? No he

has been bought. And it it is any cause

of real joy to the party, in the midst of

josses and deiear, lei mem enjoy it. The late loss of New Hampshire, and the prospect of that of the remainder of New England, notwithstanding the might of the giant Webster, are indeed sufficient to make them- hail the slightest succes?, even though that only results i-n the acquirement of a Chilton. But they strive in vain. They have been dethroned by an almost unanimous expression of twelve millions of freemen their sun has set forever. The) have been accused before the sovereign people; they had years to be heaid, to make their defence, and to manifest their innocence,& they have beeo found guilty. Henry Clay, whom the Opposition style the "star in the west," (but Of! how fallen!) once 6tood high, perhaps highest, before the American people. The champion of freedom, of free trade, and of all that could render our cation great. Eloquent as Cicero, he was the idol of Kentucky, the pride, the ornament of America. Yet all this j be bartered for an office, a mre office, as if any title could add dignity to the Dame of Henry Clay. Yes, this man alas! for the weakness of human nature had his price, and a purchaser was found to give it

He betrayed the rights of his state; he sold his birthright for a mess of pottage. -He has received his meed at the hand of his injured country, and has been dismissed to retirement and obscurity. His name will stand a memtMito for posterity that no man is or can be too high to be reached when he tramples on the rights of the people; and that the more lofty he stands the more signal will be his fall. Henry CI y must make the "amende honorable" to the American people; be must acknowledge his errors and ask their forgivenes?, before that he can appear before them in any other liht than that of a convicted man. He has a new character to establish for the one he has lost; the once unbounded confi deuce of the people must be regained, before that he can again stand on that pinnacle from whence nothing but his own folly hurled him. Editors may extol hira to the skies, may place him among the star3; yet, he has -fallen, fallen. They say he is the most eloquent of orators, the wisest of statesmen. I grant it, and consequently the more dangerous the moreable, if these talents are perverted to injure our country's welfare.

MR. CHILTON AND THE COALI

TION. A writer, who ues the name of Mr.

Chilton in the Imelligeneer of Wednesday, defies the conectues of the

statements submitted io Mr. Wicklitte's letter, published in this paper tf the 5th inst. We have before said that the expendituie of the Government depend chiefly upon the legislation of Congress, and if, as this writer contends, the expenditures of the last year had been greater than th Se of the preceding, the fault would have been in Congress, and not io the Executive, unless it could be made appear

that the appropriations had no heen properly applied. But Mr. O .ilton first assumes the fact that the expenditures of the present administration have been greater than those of the last, and then offers that as the reason for his opposition to Gen. Jackson ami his support of Mr. Clay. To this, ihe answer is clear. First, the fact is iot true. The expenditures have not been so great in 1829 as in 1828; and, next, if they had been greater, they are less than the appropriations asked for by the last Administration, which is

made responsible foi them first, by

the engagements entere d m o, and next, by the estimates upon winch the appropriations were made. Thes things show that Mr. Chilton has not given the true reason for his change of psi tion. Are we asked for the cause It is enough to show that the reason assiVnfid is not the real cause: and it fol

o lows, of course, that, if he has assigned a false reason, the true one is sin Ii that Mr. Chilton himself is ashamed of afraid to make public; and up n him, and not upon us, is the necessity ofex planation. But Mr. C. wishes to know why the estimates for the last quarter are greater than the actual expenditures; and insists that, if the estimate was not correct, the' fault is with the Secretary of the Treasury!! This reasoning is upon a par with the rest. Mr. C. insists that, as the report bears date on the 15th December, there were but a few days of the quarter unexpir

ed, and that no man is fit to be at thn I

head of the Department who could miscalculate a million of dollars for sixteen days expenditure. We are aware that Mr. Chilton has but little information on this subject, and it would be uncharitable to make him responsible for the want of candor and fairness in this statement. Mr. Chilton may not be informed upon the subject, but the writer of the article which bears his name could not have been ignorant that many of the disbursements of the Government are made at a distance and all of tnem are adjusted quarterly. The estimate was not for the sixteen days, but for the three months ending on the 31st of December, and the statement that the es timate was f r but sixteen days, because the report bears date on the 15th of December, is thus shown to have been an intentional misrepresentation. The Report of the Secretary of the Treasury gives the actual expenditures of the three first quarters of 1829, including two months, January and February, of the late Administration:

18,919,114 05

by one million! We admit the charge. Does that prove that the administration has been extravagant? or that the Secretary is incompetent Does it not prove that the Goernmf:nt has economised, by reducing the expenditures below the estimates not only of the last, but of the present administration? As to the estimate? themselves, it is known that they are furnished by the heads of bureaus upon the call of the Secre ary,and there is just as much propriety in charging Mr. Chilton with incapacity on account of this over estimate as the Secretary of the Treasury. The Secretary asks the heads of bureaus how much they will want for the disbursements in their respective Departments, and reports the

amount, & Congress makes the appropriation. When the disbursements

are made, whatever is unexpended renvtinsiti the Treasury, subject to the further order of Congress. The facts are, as stated, that the estimates for the last quarter are greater than the ex enditure, and that the expenditures ot 1823 are greater than th.se of 1829, by .$114,396 31; and, by carrying out the x enditure f:-r one entire year ending on the 1st of March, 1829, and the 1st of M-nch, 1830, the comparison is made more perfect, a d the difference in favoi ol 'his administration is foend to be 1,993,198 09. It will thus be seen thnt Mr. Chilton has no pretence for his opposition to this administration on the score of an increased expenditure. The tacts are, that, so far as those expenditur s depend upoii the executive, they have

fare in a deplorable corjdilior, almost

entirely drain d ol money ard metals and having little else to dispose of. The class of men which formerly woiktd the roines having been compelled to gaiuto the army, they are either destroyed or have returned with habits which unfit them for their former occupations," It adds, that the etreets of the city are "covered with grass, and that there was not a single vessel in its tine bay" tlip Si. L mis excepted. Tbe Chilian papers are filled with details of the late revolution; but the contest for power among the generals had not eded on the 9ilofJan. A Chilian paper of that date , giv es a most gloomy picture of the instability of the povernnrunt. "We believe'1 exclaims

the editor, "that the day is not tar distant when the enquiry of every morning w:H be, who is governor to-duy." There had been gome fighting between the parties, and much plundering all sorts of business bad been stopped, the chief merchants suspending paymeutj&c. jXiles. From tbe New England Palladium. Robbery and Abduction. It will be recollected, by our readers, that in December last, we published a notice requesting information of Mr. Isaac Wyman, a respectable drover of Vershire, Vermont, who had mysteriously disappeared from Boston, and was suj posed to have been murdered and robbed of his money, of which he was known to

have had a considerable sum. Nothing

was ever heard respecting iim t.ll Fri-

National Intelligencer contains one of

these letters, purporting to contain a calculation of the expenditures of the government for 1829; but, like most other airy productions, it has been found to be very devious and serpentine. Estimates are given for expenditure?, aFid appropriations for estimates, in such confusion as to baffle even the "'spoundingand'splaining'Tacultiegof Mr. Barton himself. But how could it be otherwise? Mr. Wickliffe, the chairman of the committee on retrenchment, had shown conclusively that the expenditures for 1829, -were 414,000 dollars less than these of 1828; acd those for the first year of Ja kson's administration, one million nine hundred and ninety three . thousand dollars less than for the year preceding of Mr. Ad-

But we rejoice thai this mat er has received this direction. We arc- glad to see 'he enemy urgi g tuis adminis tralionto act un to its piinciples, Mr.

Chilton acts but as the cover for the

artifices ot others. By accusing this administration of extravagance, he calls

the eyes of the nation to the state of

the -Treasury, and he devices resorted to-, for the purpose of increasing the expenditures of the Government, Every Republican must see -hat the object of :he -iristociac), now rallying itselt under Mr. Clay's nanner, is to seize upon every expedient tior increased the public expenditures. The Republican party will, we trust, take the alarm.

JUAN B. ARIZ MEND I. Caracas, Feb. 25, 1 830. A letter dated ai Wra Cruz, (Mexico), 20h Feb. after speukug the probable putting down of the prseident Bustamente, who lately put down preMdent Guerero, say s "While the people of this country are threatened with invasions from old Spain, they make shift to hold together, but, no sooner are they left to themselves, than they engage in civil strife, more ruinous byfar to the nation than all the legions which Ferdinand could send against them. Ii is really ludicrous to hear them boast of their republican govern ment, when in fact, they do not und r sta'ul its meaning. Their constitution is, I believe, copied verbatim from ours, yet so far is it from being practically adopted, that tbe old Spanish forms are still used, even in their transactions with Americans, and in their custom houses.15 A letter from on beard the U. S. sloop of war St. Louis, dated at Panama, says "The countries cn this side

Vermont, being on his way to his resi

dence, in that neighborhood. The editor of the Chelsea Advocate gathered

from him the following lacts relative to

his sudden disappearance:

'He says that having disposed of his drove, he went from Chatlestown to

Boston, with the intention of taking tne

s age for Concord, the following inori.iog, that in the evening he went into

! a i tuailing cellar, and before he left,

two men entered and inquired if he was going to Ve mont. Upon his answering m the affirmative they said they were also fri-m Vermont, and proposed that they shouid return in company, to which he assented. One of them then asked him if he had seen a large tish upon the wharf, and upon his reply ing that he had not, added that it was a curiosity, and proposed that he should go with them and view it. Accordingly they started tor the wharf. On their arrival at the wharf, he was knocked down, gagged, placed in a boat and rowed otf. How long he remained ins.nsio;e he cannot say; but upon his

n.cov.iy, he found they had landed j t're.ttofihe

upon a small island. Mere he sue ceeded in disengaging one of his hands.

and upon searching for his money, found it was gone. One of ihem then presented a pistol to his breast, and thiea ened him wiih death if he attempted any resistance. He was again placed in the bo t and rowed otf, but how far or in lrat diiection, he is unable to state, and was put on board a brL, having a Crew often persons, four of whom were negroes. 'i hey soon afterwards set sail. In consequence of the treatment he had recived, he was tor some time conti. ed io his birth, and could not as certain the course they were pursuing. Towards the last of January, he was in the night landed near New Orleans, to which place he immedia ely preceded. Here, friendless and destitute, he went to work and earned money enough ivith the assistance he received upon the way, to get as far as Troy, N. V. and to this place. Mr. Wyman was considered as a man of unimpeachable churacter, was in good tircumstances, and we should

think could have no possible motive for playing olfa hoax upon the public." The Adams and Clay papers appear tob excesssively vexed at the dtmo. cratic members of the Pennsylvania legislature for presuming to meet, and express their opinion of the conduct of Provident Jackson, and of the propriety of again putting him in nomination.

They affect to believe, that the meeting consisted of but 56, a minority of the members. That story was got up by one of the Adams papers at Harrisburgh ; but it is know n to most members of tne legislature, and to many citizens, (for the meeting was held with open daors,) that the story is destitute of foundation. The writer of this paragraph has attended all similar meetings of the members for five years past, and has no hesitation in expressing his confident belief, that the recent convention was as well attended by the members as any tha he has witne a d. But the number of the friends of the present administration and their sentiments can be ascertained and placed beyond the power of contradiction by the publication of a letter addressed t Gen. Jackson a few days subsequent io ihe meeting, and signed by most of the members who remained at the seat of government. The attempt to divide the members of the Pennsy lvania legis lature into the frieuds of Van Burcn

and Calhoun is lidkntou?, and hy Rfc foundation except in the txeited imaginations of the coalition editors. The democrats of Pennsylvania believe, that the re-election of General JACKSON is alike essential to the interests of the party and ti e gcnia' prcsperiiy. American Sentinel.
