The Contrast. Actions apeak louder (ban word?, says ihe old maxim a maxim not less pound lor being old. WiX. us therefore free ourselves from the political Sz, per6onal prejudices and predilections of .aft al .1 trie day, and caimiy ana dispassionately inquire for a moment of what advantage the measurea of the present administration have been to the country and trace, in a few particulars, the parallel between this, and the administration which preceded it, that we may see, in the contrast, whether it will be for the advantage of this Republic that the men now in power should be put out of oftice to make room tor the men of the last administration, with Mr. Clay at their head; for that disguise it as politicians may, is the real question for the people to decide. 1. The first measure of Gen. Jackson, was the institution of a rigid system of accountability throughout the Government. The developments of the Black List was the consequence. It was discovered that through the profligacy of some, and the carelessness of others, officers of the Adams and Clay government, the treasury had been plundered of more than o million oj dollars of the people's money. Measures were promptly taken to reform this state of things it was edected and that amount gained to the people of the United States. For, according to the aying of Poor Richard, "a penny saved is a penny gained.'1 2. For the four year3 of Mr. Adams, the Foreign Intercourse of the country cost tho People, on an average, 5GG,197 per year. During the present administration the expenses for the same have not averaged 250,000 per year exhibiting, in this particular only, a saving of more than 300,000 per year, equal in four years, to 1,200,000 dollars at least. And the same economy may bp traced throughout all the Departments. 3. The result of this honest and economical administration of the affairs of the country is, that the President has been able to recommend the reduction of the taxes imposed upon the people by way of Duties upon Tea, Molasses , Salt, Cocoa, and Coffee. For instance, for every pound of Bohea Tea imported during Adams' administration, 12 cents had to be paid to Mr. Adams to enable him and Clay to get along. Since Gen. Jackson has been elected, only 4 cents a pound is required by which every person saves 8 cents on each pound of Bohea Tea he uses. In the 6ame way the Adams and Clay duties on Souchong Tea were 25 cents a pound. The Jackson duties nro but 10 cents a pound saving to the people 15 cents a pound. The Adams and Clay duties on Hyson and young Hyson Tea were 40 cents a pound Jackson duties 18 cents saving to the people 32 cents a pound. Tho Adams and Clay duties on Imperial Tea were 50 cts. a pound the Jacksondutiesarebut 35 cents saving to the people 25 cts. on every pound of Imperial Tea used by them. On the article of Molasses the Adams and Clay duties were 10 cents a gallon the Jackson duties are but 5 cents a gallon by which every family saves 5 cents on each gallon of Molasses they use. Salt, also Adams aud Clav taxed every bushel of Salt 20 cents Gen. Jackson has reduced the tax to 10 cents saving 10 cents on every bushel of salt to the people. In like manner Gen. Jackson has reduced the tax on Coffee 4 cents a pound, and on Cocoa 1 cent a pound. Now these reductions save to the people, 3,500,000 a year, which they used to pay out of their pockets for the support of such people as Tobias Walking, Arnold, Binney, &c. and to indulge Mr. Clay m extravagances which Mr. Adams dare not curtail, because Clay made Adams President, and therefore had him under his thumb. It took Gen. Jackson about a year to effect these reductions get the law through Congress and in operation therefore by his administration the people save that amount for three years only That is 10,500,000. 4. We have neither room nor lime to go into particular enumeration of every instance in which Gen. Jackson has saved the People's money but we will present ono fact by way of illustration We have seen that he has reduced the taxes of the people to the amount of three arid a half millions a year and notwithstanding this he has paid 543,879 33 a year more of the public debt than Messrs. Adams and Clay did. They paid during their 4 years exactly 15,303,490 51, bcin-just 1 1,225,895

11 per year. Gen. Jackson has paid during his two first years 23,739,548 99 beingjust 11,869,774 49 a year Beside which he has paid the old claim which the Btate of Massachusetts had against the government, amounting to 433,C48 equal in all to 759,280 33, of the public debt more per year, than Mr. Adamsand Clay 'paid , with all the present revenues of the country, and these oppressive taxes of Tea, Salt, Mollasses, Cocoa and Coffee, besides. This continued four years will be 3,037,121 32. All Ihe above facts are taken from the Public Documents, which the People can examine for themselves. But these are not'all the benefits which have resulted from the administration of the Old Hero of N. Orleans. They are indeed, but a very small por tion. We have now however only time to glance at a few other facts. 5. He has obtained the payment of the sum of G50,000jff om the government of Denmark to our merchants this is so much gained. 6. He has procured a treaty with Turkey by which the trade of the Inland Asiatic Seas has been opened to us. This trade is estimated to be worth to our country at least 500,000 a year. Thi3 for three years is a million and a half of dollars. So much more gained. And once more. 7. He has recovered the West India Trade worth 3,000,000 a year this for three years is nine millions and is so much more gained. Let us now recapitulate and see what the people have gained or secured in the aggregate by Geo. Jacksoa's administration: 1. Saving- in the Reform measures, $1,000,000 2. In Fore;gn Intercourse, 1,200,000 3 . In reduction of Duties, 10,500,000 4. Payment of Public Debt, 3,037,121 5. Received from Denmark, G50.000 6. Trade to the Black Sea, 1,500.000 7. Trade to West Indie3, 9,000,000 Making in all 26,887,121 These arc facts with the evidence then, staring us in the face, that Gen. Jackson has so administered the atlairs of the government, since the people called nim to the presidency, as to gam or secure to the people advantages to the amount of more than twenty six mil lions of dollars for hia first term We cannot onnose his re-election. Tho results of big administration are seen by every eye, in the unbounded prosperity of the country in the unexampled success of all the Departments of industry in the new impulse which the great circulation of mouey is giving daily to every species of enterprise. Commerce, agriculture, manufactures, Internal Improvements are flourishing our country is peaceful, happy, respected. These are the fruits by them let the tree be judged. We owe General Jackson Gratitude for his past services and admiration for his high and generous and noble patriotism. But there is an obligation still more sacred that we owe to ourselves and our country the obligation to sustain the measures by which we prosper and the men with whom those measures are identified. To the People we appeal the cause of the Republic is safe in their hands. Let them examine and decide. Trenton Emporium, JLalc Foreign News. From Xiles7 Register. By an arrival at New York, London advices to the 30th May have been received. England. Parliament was to meet on the 14th June, but as the preliminary ceremonies of electing the speaker of the house of commons and swearing in the members would occupy a week, the king did not intend to go in state to open the session till the 20th. There are 1 9 Catholic members elected. The king has spontaneously confer red the order of the garter upon earl Grey. The blue ribband was express ly given by the king, to use his own words, "to mark publickly his approba tion of lord Grey s conduct, and for the same reason he had purposely chosen this time to confer the honor. Ireland. The distress in Ireland was of the moet frightful character thou sands were nearly famishing from want of bread, aud were subsistingon barley meal mixed with sea-weed. Active measures were taking to raise subscriptions for their relief. In this work the queen and young princess were contributing returning a little of the money which they were receiving of the people.

The duela alluded to in the former advices, terminated without bloodshed At a meeting in Londoa to afford relief to the starving people of Ireland, a Protestant minister contended that the distress now existing in that unhappy country was a visitation by the Almighty for theii apostacy, &: that the Roman Catholic religion was that of apostacy! This furious bigot was replied to by the marquis of Cianricarde in a most indiguaut and feeling manner, but the mischief was already infused into the meeting, and it adjourned without doing any thing. The duke of Leinster and lord Cloncurry have been sworn in as members of the privy council in Ireland. Certain parts of Galway and Tipperary have been declared in a etate of disturbance. France. Loui? Philippe was, at the last advices, at Dippe, where he had been received with the greatest eclat. The national guards of France,now fully armed and equipped, amount to 750,000 men. The French government, says rumor, have sent to Vienna and Berlin, requiring either an entire or partial reduction of their present military establishments. The cabinet of Vienna is reported to have replied, that Austria desired to place her army on the peace footing, but could not do so until certain important questions, relative to Poland and lltaly, were settled. Franco re

joined that Austria had transcended its rights in controlling the atlairs of Italy, and therefore she could not be permitted'to use the condition of these states as a pretext for new armaments. The report further states that the emperor cl Russia had been reminded by France and England that the convention of Vienna recognized tho Independence of Poland. A government messenger had arrived at Paris from Rome, end it was currently reported the king had been recalled from his tcur. Belgium. A conflict took place on the 22d May, at Namur, between a corps of lancers and one of volunteers, the commander of the latter was arrested. Prince Leopold, it was eaid, would bo almost unanimously elected king, 9G out of 122 member?, cf which the congress consists, had declared for him, and only two had openly opposed him the others were reserving their votes. Turkey. The governor of Bagdad has submitted to the porte: 500 persons had been put to death for their insurrectionary movements. The insurgents under the pacha of Wrana and Persoreen had attacked the grand vizier's troops near Pielepo, but were completely beaten with the loss of 1,000 men. Germany. The canton of Schaffhausen is in open rebellion, and the peasants were marching against the city. They had had several skirmishes, and many persona had been killed and?wounded. A proposition had been adopted in the second chamber of the states, to extend ; the liberty of the press, and the formation of a new constitution was also in agitation. Italy. Savoy and Piedmont were ready to unite with France, and crush the influence of Austria. Jerome Bonaparte had imparted to his mother tho intelligence that the French government were about to replace the statue of Napoleon on the column in the place Vendomc. She was at the point of death at the time, but the news was so grateful to her feelings that it instantly revived her, and she became convalescent. Poland. The Poles have been successful. A corps of 8,000 men had been despatched to afford succor to the revolutionists of Volhynia, under the command of gen. Chrzanowski. This gallant corps had passed through a body of 24,000 Russians and arrived in triumph at the fortress of Zamosc, with 800 Russian prisoners. A noble enthusiasm animates the people of Volhynia, Lithuania, and of all Poland. In the government of Wilna, 60,000 insurgents were. in arms. A general battle was hourly expected between the armies of Deibitsch and Schrznecki both armies were in motion. The Russians were manocu vring to operate against Warsaw on the opposite side of the Vistula, and the Poles to frustrate this attempt. The country on the line of march wa9 desolate, and the cholera prevailing to an alarming extent. Russia. The emperor Nicholas was

determined to carry hii operations

against PolaDd to the last extremity, and the nobles wera arming and equipping an army of 100,000 men at their own expense, to march against the Poles. Daibitsch istoconcentrate an army of 140,000 men to move on Warsaw. A London paper of the evening ot the 30th May, says From Paris it is stated that offers of mediation on the part of England and France, having been made to the emperor Nicholas, for the pacification of Poland, the autocrat has declared, in answer, that he will make no concessions to hi3 "rebellious subjects," and that had be been disposed to make any , he would not have waited for advice to that effect from the west. Another of the 31st. has reports of some advantages gained by the Poles but nothing decisive was known to have happened. Something that may lead to an adjustment of the affairs of Belgium was expected eoon to happen. Noaii Nolle and his Office As Judge Read is loudly reproached for holding one office and running for another, may the inquiry be deemed proper if we ask i9 not Noah Noble Contract Commissioner of tho Michigan Road, with a much higher, salary, (drawn from the State Treasury at present) than the Land Office at Jeffersonville has yielded for manyl years? Mr. Noble has visited the whole line of the Michigan Road since he became a candidate for Governor, and has let contracts upon it, which certainly gave him a fine opportunity to electioneer with contractors and others, at the public expense. Where, we would ask, is a counterbalancing patronage and salary to be found in connexion with the Jeffersonville office? That ofrce is not worth, at the outside, more than 700 per year, end we find in the Treasurer's Report cf last session, that the expenses of tho Michigan Road were one thousand, one hundred and eighty-four dollars and fifty cents, and the whole amount of contingent expenses, for surveying, hands, printing and blank books, as submitted by Gen. Noble, is only $'St,50 leaving almost one thousand do'arsas the probable salary of Gen. Noble. This is cartainly a fair offset to the charge sgainst Judge Read. Gen. Nobie holds the?beetoflics or appointment, yet Gen. Noble is excused and Judge Read is censured.for holding one office and asking for enotber. Judge Read holds his, contrary to his own wishes, and Gen. Noble never hss refused to accept his or toehold it! The difference in this case reminds us! of the old fable, that "it wa3 your bull that gored my ox." Lid. Democrat. The, Election. During the last week wo have received intelligence from different parts of the state, and it is with pleasure that we can inform our readers, that the people are awake to the merits of the approaching conflict. The whole Jackson ticket for Govsrnorand Congressmen throughout tho State indicates prosperity and success. All that is required to carry a total reform in Indiana is attention at the pol!9 and unity in action. Read mu3t be elected Governor. Boon and M'Carty are certain in their districts, and Carr shows every prospect of success in the 2nd district. We take no advantage of our opponents we ctme out distinctly. Let us be on our guard and not suffer them again to dupe us and defeat us by their seeming carelessnessand cry of no question. They will vote on party grounds, and all that they desire is that we may cot do the same thing. lb. The Beaver, Pa. Argus says "from all that we can learn from different parts of the country, the labors of the farmer will be repaid by a rich harvest this season. All kinds of grain looks extremely well, and will produce a larger crop than has been for some years." This is fortunate, a3 the number of workmen employed in the neighborhood will afford a good market. Launch. On Saturday, 2d init. the twin steam boat, Archimedes, was launched from the shipyard of Messrs. Tellone and Himes, New-Albany. The Archimedes was built for the U. States, under the superintendence ol Cap!. II. M. Shreve, and is to be used in the improvement of the navigation of the Ohio $c Mississippi Rivers. She is constructed on the model of the Helipolis, which was built undrr the direction of Capt. Shreve in 1829. The draught of the Archimedes will not exceed thirty-two inches. Louisville Adv.

From the GlcLe. From the annexed scraps, which we take from the Charleston Mercury, it will be seen that the negotiation between Mr. Calhoun's factor in this city, and Mr. Clay's eastern interest, will not be ratified by the South. The South, replies, "General Jacksori is still endeared to tis by some ties which can never be broken ;" and he is ju&t as certain ofthe votes of Eolith-Carolina cs hs is of the votes of Tennessee." We have great faith in the truth and in the fcincerity of this friend ol Mr. Calhoun ; although we have reason to think he is mistaken as to 'the General's best friend? South-Carolina who nursed him, and whose soil drunk "the stripling blood" he shed in our revolutionary struggle, is the "General's best friend." He will owe the vote of that State to her owq love, not Mr. Calhoun's good will. "Notwithstanding General Jackson'a unfortunate alienation from his best friend, Mr. Calhoun, he, General Jackson is still endeared to us by some ties which can never be broken asunder, and Gen. Jflckson is just as certain of the votes of the State Right party, and indeed of South-Carolina, though not of their zeal and entire devotion, as he is of the votes of Tennessee, his own State. There is not now a prominent man of the party, who does not distinctly avow, that it is far better that lhesmallest principle in the constitution should be preserved inviolate, the infraction of which would involve danger to the State Governments, than that Mr. Calhoun, or any other man, if another man can be found mora endeared to us than Mr. Calhoun, should be elevated to the highest honors in the gift of the people of the U. States. Let Gen. DuffGreen,and the people ofthe Eastern states, not deceive themselves, by Imagining that, by nn effer to support any of our men, tbey can move the State Right party from the patriotic and elevated ground they now occupy. They have ever seen their error in trusting to any mortal man for support, and it is now most delightful to observe the sentiment unanimously fresponded to by the whole party, that no South Carolinian can or ought to be President of the United States, under a system or state of thing?, which would make him the instrument cf enforcing laws, enacted in a ipiril of pillage and of piracy." Bridgetown, (N. J.) June 25. Murder. Oa Thursday, the ICth ult. Sanders Powell wa3 murdered in hi3 own house in the village of Leesburg, in this county. The particulars aa nearly as can be ascertained ore a3 follows: William Clark, a native of Maurice River township, stopped at the house of said Powell on bis return from a militia muster the day previous to hi3 decease, and staid all Dight. Powell was at work near his own house on tha day of the murder, and about ona o'clock came in and requested hii wifa to get him his dinner; to which she replied that if he wanted h"i3 dinner he must get it himself. This answer gave rise to some altercation between tha deceased and his wife, upon which tha latter called on Clark, who was up stairs, jtot'eome down, but received no answer. To avoid the clamor which arose between Powell and hi3 wife, two young men who had come in to eat their dinners, which they had brought with them to the field, retired, end on their return Powell lay lifeless on a bed ; his wife bad gone to a neighboring house, and Clark wa3 not to be found. A jury of inquest wa9 held over tha body, by Joel S. Robinson ,E?q. who reported that they believed the deceased came to hia death by blows inflicted on him by said Clark, and that the wife of the deceased waa accessary to themur der. The woman was arrested on Friday afternoon and committed to jail in this place to await her trial: Clark ia yet at liberty, having eluded the vigilance of the neighbor who were in search of him several day?. He is described to be about 25 years of age, fiva feet ten inches high, swarthy complexion and brown hair; wore a blue roundabout and light pantaloons, and took with him a drab pea jacket. It is believed that he has made his way to New York, and that he will in all probability effect his escape, unlees a suitable reward be offered by the governor for hi3 apprehension.
