THE RICn AND THE FOOD. . There is nothing which the friends of the present administration of the general Government have used te greater effect in cheating and cajoling the people to uphold their aystem of waste and opeweseioa, than the groundless pretence that they are friends, and the opposition the enemies of . the poor. If there was one particle of truth in this idea, we would never move a quill in opposition to the one or ia defence of the other; not that we profess to be opposed to the rich, but that we believe that a government really friendly to the poor, will never attempt to favor them by fostering the notion of an opposition of iatorcst. In the first place the lines of demarcation between the rich tad the poor are quite too indistinct in this country, to adant of party lines being formed by such a rule- A great part of our rich men have risea Croavthe haxobleet walks in society, and have parents aad friends ia indigence aad obscurity, while many born in affluence have lived in want, and died in poverty. The fact is that such is the condition of society in the United States, that poverty and riches are always interwoven, and often interchangeable. Nor is it the interest of the poorest man in society to establish a party or an order of things which shall bear down upon men of property, for it is his hope and expectation for himself or his family, to pursue the same road and arrive at the same destination; and the principles or the party, which would destroy the property of his richer neighbor, may in a few months or years, be brought to bear against himself or his children.

Again, it ia for the interest of the poor man, that others should prosper and have property, whether he has prosperity himself or not, and that property or that government who go to work to

pot down the rien do an irreparable injury w me poor, and that too, even if the property which is

The air being perfectly motionless; his balloon ascended perpendicularly, or nearly so, to a great height, whence it passed off slowly in a southerly direction, until Mr. C. thought proper to settle down to pursuit of lodgings for the night. The foUowino note, which we received from hixn

yesterday morning, furnishes bia own account of

hia descent .- Mr. Pasamcz? It may be interesting to you and your readers to know, that after remaining fortv-five minutes in the atmosphere I descended safely on tbe'farm of Mr. Churchill, (which is about three and a half miles from Louisville and due south of the garden from which I took my departure.) My object in landing thus early, was

to embrace the opportunity of securing my oaiioon for the night where I could get assistance, and then proceed on my serial voyage early in the morning; hoping that there would then be a breeze that would waft me in a more favorable direction than that of south. I could bare continued in the atmosphere during the whole of the night, but as there was scarcely a breath of wind I should have travelled but a few miles, and those few without much pleasure. This morning as soon as the sun drives the dew from off the balloon, I shall proceed on my voyage, and although I may not be able to travel very far, yet I shall have the pleasure of having day-light and a bright

sun to illumine the pleasing scenery of Kentuc- !

for the same system which deprives one man of

his property to-day, merely because no is rich, may deprive a poor man or his children of their bard earnings as soon as it accumulates to competency.

If a poor man were to set out to seek his fortune, would he go to a place where there are many rich, or where the people are all poor? surely there can be but one answer, if he goes among a rich people and is honest and industrious, he will soon partake of their wealth, but if he sojourns among the poor, he can find no employ and no wages; all must remain poor together. Our government, or at least their pensionod presses, keep a perpetual din about aristocracy,

and rich men, and pretend to be great friends to

the poor; but it they ever bonestiy intended any

such thing, they have entirely missed their mark

and thrown their weight utto the wrong scale for

no administration has ever before wielded the destinies of this nation, who hare come down wi h such tremendous destruction upon the poor and middling classes. If there was any truth in their charges against their predecessors of chastising them with whips, verily they have chastised them with scorpions. By their means tho poor

and middling classes have been thrown entirely in the hands of rich misers and speculators, who

have fleeced them at the rate of 24 per cent, per

annum tor money, and double onees for provis

ion, until they no longer. In these assertions we advance no new and

doubtful doctrine; we are telling you only what every one knows to their sorrow to be true we

appeal to the people all around us, whether they have ever seen such times produced by any other system of measures, as have been produced by tho experiment which as General Hamilton said is now placing the people in Benton's 'exhausted receiver' to see how long they can live without business, without money, and without bread. But to screen the real authors of your distress

you arc constantly set upon the wrong scent, you

are told of speculation, and borrowed capital, and

that those who do business on borrowed capital

ought lo break! a sentiment worthy of Nero or

tally at variance with the shallow pretence, of

being friends to the poor. True there has been

speculation, which has increased the evil, bat

world, and introduced one fitted only to enable

brokers to shave the poor, at the

rate of two per cent, a month, aad to cause such rise in every species of property ss must inevitably call forth the cupidity of speculators of every

grade.

All these evils our rulers were told over and

over again had followed, and must inevitably

follow again, the course they were pursuing: but they recklessly went forward, in spite of the re

monstrances of wisdom, and the lessons of experi

1, OO CIOCK A. M. )

Yesterday Morning Mr. Clayton, agreeably to bis intentions, rose again into the skies from Mr. Churchill's farm, and, at about eight o'clock his balloon was seen by our citizens, at a great height, bearing a little West of North, and passing slowly over the city. It soon began to move due west, and passed a few miles across the river, and then veered into a south-easterly direction, perfbrminff, from the period of its ascension, al-

! most an entire circle within sight of tho city at ! n apparent height of about three miles. It Con

tinued in siht until alter one o'clock wnen it was

i "swallowed up in the abyss of heaven." A bal-

loon excursion so delightful to the spectators was

never performed before in the U.Statcs. Mr. Clayton's aerial vessel seems perfectly under his con

trol, obeying bis will "like a steed that knows Ins rider." Whenever he may choose to make another experiment of the kind in Louisville, we can promise him a generous remuneration for his enterprise. He is emphatically the Captain Cooke, or the Christopher Columbus of the skies. "The hostility displayed by Whitney in his

pamphlet towards Blair, Kendall, and Woodbury, is all a pretence. His abuse of them is a device

of his own and theirs to deceive the people."

Buffalo Journal. We think, that Whitney's blows are a little too hard to be meant in kindness. He evidently lays them a with.. tuuet hearty good will. If he is not in earnest, he is certainly oTimlaiwa, fmm We recollect the story of a prince, who wished to

go to a masquerade as a lacquey but was afraid of being recognized. "Let me," said one of his dependents whom he had offended, "go with you as your master and give you an occaionr.l kick, and your disguise will be complete." The arrangement was accordingly made, but the dependent kicked the disguised prince so often and with such merciless severity, that the latter at last

turned round to him and hissed in his ear "liar-

ey of the country nor the principles of commerce his administration is the thimble rig ministry of small men he will have no other near him, but in the management of an election in which his interest is to be effected, in the moves in the wirepulling in the trick in the burrowing in the promises, the pledges, and the corruptions necessary to ensure success, he is a perfect master he sleeps upon it he thinks of nothing else he has studied it, practiced it in every protean shape for forty years he owes his present office to

its successful operation, and believes that while he is without an atom of popularity of the people's love of their confidence and esteem, he can manage to hold on to power in despite of a ruined country, outraged laws, and an impoverished people. We give this as a hint to certain Whig gentlemen who are pushing pins for the Presidency before the country is saved or the battle is won. Van Buren is to be defeated by his own weapons. His opponents must try ar.u be as cunning

as oc is mcy rausi Keep united and lollow mm in his track, and be ever close on his heels they

must rise as early as he does, and go to bed as late. Here and there he may get two partisans as rich as McKim and Howard, but it will be rare. The Whigs have too much talent for him in a Ciir fight, and they have only to be discreet and prudent, and they will trip up his heels before he can actually starve the people into the adoption of his measures- The following is no doubt a correct view which the Baltimore Patriot takes of the election : We are free to own that this result is rather different from what we anticipated. We had reason to expect that the Whigs would carry the city; and, defeated, as we firmly belice we have been,

by the aid and instrumentality of rxaiTALinEn votebs, and a band of mercenary hirelings from other places, we must bear our cordial testimony to the activity, energy, and enthusiastic devotion to their cause which yesterday distinguished the Whigs of Baltimore. Although it was one of the most inclement and unpleasant days that have

been experienced this season the rain pouring

incessantly irom morning tin nigui, accompanieu with a raw cold wind, yet the attendance at the polls was full and constant. The spirit and con

duct of the Whigs deserved success ; and we should

this da have had the pleasant task of announcing their glorious triumph, if the election had

been conducted with ordinary fairness if the re

sult had been determined bv the sentiments of a

lnnjority of the qualified elector of Baltimore.

But to tho disgrace ot the Van Buren managers, we declare the Whiir candidates have beev lo-

flmtml ltirmnmiinT f i " i - J- , and illegal vo

of union. We have not only tho hope but the certainty of bringing our country back to sound

constitutional principles by energetic and consistent action of retrciving our broken fortunes, Sc. re-cstablUhing our national credit, and prostrating a corrupt and partisan administration, that has been for years steadily degrading and demoralizing tho people. The fear that if such a state of things continues liberty itself will be but a name, and our republican institutions interpreted to suit the ca prices of a partisan President, carried into power on the shoulders of a political idol, excites the patriotic and ardent love of our country. Wo have every thing to encourage us. We aro opposed to revolutionary movements for our peaceful remedies arc abundantly, and will be found practically sufficient but the idea of our native poet is so applicable to every blow we give the present administration, that we are induced to quote them : Strike! till the lat aim'd foe expires; Strike ! far ear altars and our fires.

and the ensuing day Mr. Penney's brother went in search of the thief, whom he believed to be a young man named J. W. Wheeler, whoso relatives reside somewhere in the neighborhood of New Haven, where he had good reason to suppose the property had been taken. In this direction he accordingly proceeded, and soon came on the track of the thief, which he followed for about fifty mifes, until ho came to the residence of an old lady, a near relative of Wheeler's. Having ob

tained ingress into the house, he demanded to see the mistress of it, and was ushered into the room where an aged lady lay seemingly v ery sick in bed. He informed her that the object of his visit was to search for his stolen property, and nothing could surpass the honest indignation and aston

ishment of the old dame, that be could for a mo

ment suspect that her house was a receptacle for stolen goods. Mr. Penney had, however, receiv

ed his information as he thought, from too good a source to rely on the lady's denial, and he insisted that she should get out of bed. A groan and moan, such as would melt the heart of any but a man of leather, were the lady's only response, but on being again pressed to rise, she declared in a tone of voice so feeble that it betokened her immediate departure for another world, that the thing was impossible, she bad the rheumatism, and was a cripple, and had been so ions: bed rid

One hundred guns were fired by the Van Burenites of Philadelphia, in honor of what they call

"the glorious victory in Baltimore!"" This is too good a joke to be lost. In tbe excess of their jny at not being defeated, the Van Burenites overlook the inference which this frantic exultation irresis

tibly leads to. From the first dawn of Jacksonism and humbug, Baltimore has invariably been a Jackson city their majority has di jinisbed at every election but still tho Whigs have never triumphed ia Baltimore. In the late contest the Whigs expected to conquer, an expectation they could not have entertained, but from a conscrousa&ss that their cause was rapidly gaining ground; the Van-

Burenites expected to be defeated, an expectation

they could not have entertained, but from a similar consciousness, that they are rapidly losing

ground : the result shows, that the Whigs have gained in numbers, while their opponen ts have

succeeded, by a less majority than they ever had beiore, in avoiding a defeat. They have gained nothing but have barely .'.red themselves. And

for this they firoone hundred guas! Is not this extravagant exaltation an acknowledgement oa their part, that they feel themselves standing on
