J!csolceJ, That John W . Davis, member of congress from this district, in voting fr the Sab-Treasury bill, has disobeyed the will of his constituen's, and should resign the station witii which the people have entrusted him. Not an acciJent occurred to mar 'dm peace raid happiness of the people on that lay. Every thing was done in harmony and good order. The Ladies, bLss their sweet souls, wire determined to assist on this occasion. It is supoo-ed there were two hundred present. They marched to the rescue with a standard of their own purchase, determined to as:t with their powerful interest, in the downf d! of Van Uurcu. Notwithstanding the loas lings of thi "an Ilureuites in Palmyra Town-hip that they would elect two administration Magistrates, they have been sadly ilisappoiuted.

Senator I3cutoa5 aai "Tr. Van Duvca'i Celebrated Ilunibus' Heport. During tiie administration of Mr. Adams, Mr. Ileulon, Mr. Van Duron and Mr. V hit'j were appointee! a select committee "To iu.puiie m'j the expediency of reducing tho patronage of the Exoculivu Government of the United Slates." A reHererico lo that report by the Democrat!.: Republicans of thai and tho present time w ill convince them of the baseness uf ihe men who cried aloud for a reduction, or diminution of Executive patronage only to deceive. It is not possible that Mr. lieutou or Van Buren could have changed their oi uo)is since that period. If the opinions of these inon have changed it is certainly trim that the Republican doctrine contained in that report is undeniable and that not only is tho purity of our institutions in danger of bein "iidlicd" but that the moral greatness of such men as Col. Denton and Martin Van Duren, may, with much show of reason, become tarnished by the power confided to them of dispensing Executive patronage. This committee whose fears had become aroused inconsequence of the vast amount of Executive patronage, enjoyed by Mr. Adams, drew up and presented to the Sen ate six bills, designed to curtail the amount of "patronage" of the Government. The first was a bill to regulate the publication of the laws of the United States, and of public advertisements. The second was a bill to secure in ofiice the faithful collectors and disbnrsers of the public revenue, and to displace defaulters. The third was, A bdl to regulate the appointment of Postmasters, and the fourth was a bill to roffulate the appointment of Cadets, and the fifth w as. A bill lo regulate the anpointment of Midshipmen, and then to wind up with the bills then pioposed, was the sixth, which V3S a bill to prevent Military and Naval officers from bein dismissed the service at tho plcastr.e of the President. Wo now piopost3 to look briefly into the prumiics of these men before they got into power, and the rule of action praeiiccd oflir power ws placed in their hand--. As to the 1st Bdllct the sccrcla-v
of the treasury answer, how much of the public money has been paid lo Dlair and Rives, and three hundred others, voted to them by a party vote in the House of Representatives, or paid out of the contingent fund by the President. As to the 2d let the people answer whether or no the Executive should have kept in office such men as Swartvvout, Price, Harris aud a host of others, wdtose name is legion, when they were known to bo defaulters. Do the people think as did some of ibo President's friends, "jettr lit them be, as we are on tbe eve of an election and the influence of their friends and kinsman will bo thrown against us." As to tho 'k Dill it is a well known fact thr-t no appointment has been made by the Postmaster General of a Postmaster to any cilice oi' profit but the friends oi the administration. Dol they enquire. Is he honest? Is he capable? No! lf he has either of those requisites for a cood officer they "let bim be" as an unsuitable tool of tho party, but if he should be as fortunate as was Mr. Harris in relation to his family connexions, and iheir influence can be brought to bear ia their fivor, particularly on the ei'C of an election, then indeed lie is a proper nice min, and must have tho oflioe. As to the 1th bill, it is well known that the appointments of Cadets is thiough the favor, or as Mr. Van Duren and Mr. Denton termed it in Mr. Adam's day, through the patronage of the Executive, only. So much for that regulation as well as the
others, and the sam mi' said in re gard to tho bth of tho appointments of .Midshipmen, no freemen's son, whoso father dares to raise his voice nepotist the "democratic" administration of Mr. Van Duren, has ever got an appointment at West Point, or in the navy. No, to use their own language -ut would sully the parity of our institutions and endanger the liberties of the country." To bo l lie son of a WHIG, is with the powers that be, next to an unpardonable sin. He must, like tbe christian apostate in Egypt, curse father and mother, or sell his political opinions, to obtain the favor of llie administration. It w ould bo sickening flattery to call such a icpiile, dog. As to tho G;h lei the south answer, whether they, cum if Mr. Van Duren cannot, see, any thing wrong in the conviction of Lieut. Hoe, upon ei;r testimony. Fi iends ofthe constitution, lovers of your country's liberty. We beseech vou to come forward, "come one, come all," to the rescue ol your rights and liberties, from the hands of the spoilers: teach the palace slaves to respect the will of the people, "frown indignantly" upon every attempt of this, or any administration to raire a standing army, speak to ilic-m ia a voice of thunder, and tell them that you have been multicauliisised long euou-h, yon can be humbugged no longer, that your tirilhmeliea! knowledge repudiates ih'j new system of reducing tho number of office bidders in New York, or any other place from 171 down to four Irnx Ivcd and fourteen, and of curtailing iheir expenditures ia one Custom House only, from a little over one hundred thousand to near half a million of dolLrs, and; on tho dth day of March nc:.t, you will bo, if you should visit Washington City at that time, amply compensated lor tho devoted love arid abiding interest which vou have felt for your country; you will then see the little Marlin preparing to leav the palace: Good Heavens! what a packing there will be! of Daudboxcs, Oito of Roses, Cologne' water, French Pearl Powder, WLLkcrandoes, Pomatum Sz,c. ttc. fce. 5oc. all. all on their winding way to Kindeihook. It will require at least forty yankec clock wagons, and tin pedling wagoas to c irry oil the French furniture, gold spoons, silver pie cutters, English, French, and Italian Tassels, ojc.evkc. Why, Martins' cavalcade will be twi'-e the length ofthe train of cages owned by the Zeologieal Institute, and will present very muesli the same appearance; and tho Lion, uo not tbe Lion, the Fox,. Martin, will be at the bead in his English built carriage with his liven ied English servant?, bonving himself off from an indignant and deeply injured people. We suppose Denton, or Kendall, or Dlair (give our 'dove to Mrs. Blair and the children") will le there to bring up the rsar, but Martin's Executive patronage will be gone, tho majority eif the public robbers will have fled, some to Texas, some to Europe, and we have no doubt thai some will become conscience stricken, ami w ill commit suicble. They are all noiv politically dead, dead, dead, and our prayer is, that God may have mercy on their souls. A. &. D. We must pay a passing tribute to uVpaited worth. Judge White id now dead, and wo should le (biitej; Lim great injustice if we noj;leetetl to seiy that he took, a m.-nily and tJ iiu itlfd t-tand against the corrupt practices of the administration when be leeaino ncquuiuted with tlic desijir.s of the pmiy, though iu IS-G lie was one of the pillar of the Jaokso.i party, he lived long enough to see lae perfidioun course of Mr. IJent or. of cravat memory, and Martin Van Buren tua M igicirwi. Important renunciation of Van Bitrcnism. We have just received a letter from a highly respectable source, dated Logansport, September 29, which says that George W. Ewing, oac of the Van Duren Electors for the slato at large, has wrbten a letter lo Mr. Junes II.

Downingvillk, 1 Till Sept. 1810. To Major John Downing, at the Log Cabin, dVorfh lieid: Respected Sir, We are appiuted a committee to tell you and the hull universal down east family, now pretty considerably s-catter'd every where, over the face of creation, that we have in all these parts hoed out and thrown over the fence pretty much all tho Loco Focos who havo for sumo yeaii past been pestering t.s like duckweed in a clover field, and a pretty considerable digging and grubbing it has been to do it you may depend. They had the audashusness to tell us that ibev were all poor dimicrals a spell ajo. and wo oebeved them till they got sieii root among us that simple crooning did no good, and tho only thing left to be dorse was to go at 'em with the grub-hoe, and if there are any roots left we are misi -1.P!l. We had a great meeting last nig.it at Deacon Doohttle's to hear thu ne.vs, and as tho reports of the towns and counties came in ennsieteraoio thick, aud as tbe folks all wanted to hear what was doing, it was soon found that the Deacon's house warnt ni ne than half big enuf. and so we went over and open'd the school house, and that was ftooil i'di'd chock full, and when the final accounts was reported, -and it was known that Amos Kindle, and Mr. Dlair, and Mr. Denton, and their Chief Magistrate, was al! raked up into a heap for"summe. taller," the way folksstompt their feet and clapt their hands was death to all kockroches and musketers, if any was creetunf and humming about that night. As you know that Downingviile is really as true a demieratie town a-, mere, is in all Maiii, it is only to know w bich way the majority goes when all go that way, and so when "l!i main question was put," the vole was unanimous that Mr. Kindle. Mr. Dlair, and Mr. Denton, should forever hereafter cease to be the adm ini. -j (ration of those United States, and that hereafter when the people vote for a President, they mean to have the man they vote for, and not a set of men to rule him and bully bim, who they know just enuf of to trust as far as they would trust to h-olding 3 bull by the tail well greased. We want you to tell all the folks in the West, that the Eastern flank of the Loco Focos is routed, and that their main chance is gone, and if you do as well with tho Jl'estern Jlank, then with the skouring they will get in tho centre, they will have no more chance than a stump'd tail bull in fly-time, and Mr. Van Duren will be requested to go to Kinderbook, and there quietly see and rejoice over the advantages to the country that lie and his friends above named have produced by being removed from oll'ice. for if report says truly they all need ibo change, for they have got in a condition to be baaefitcd by it for Squire Jes.mp, who you know has been the head and front of the Loco Focos down East here, he says he is now about ready for a chuuge, having invested all his spiles of office at minimum prices during hard currency limes and foreclosed all mortgages his democracy is all planted and he wants to see it grow. So folks need'nt shed many tears over the death of modern democracy on account of their sufferings, for thev have all taken pretty good care lo secure "corner lots," and the real democracy of the country will see before next grass who are the fortunate ones benefitted by the late everlasting and never lo be forgotten humbug. We beg to present our respects lo the next President, and to tell him that he will have a prelty considerable of a dirty job to clean out the House he is going into. and we hope he won t spare sope nor scrubbing brooms, but go at it manfully, and not to mind the growls and grumblings of the cliapj who would rather he would say "all is right end correct, (). A"." but first have a regular rat hunt examina into all accounts fool up and count over the bub-Treasur s call in all Treasury notes and drafts, and contingent checks, and transfer warrants and so forth and see how matters stand. There is a notion down this way that as Dank notes are sometimes kounterfeited, the same thing may be at work with Treasury not es, and as all the people are stockholders in the great Treasury Bank, tho sooner they know how this ma ter stands the better and to sue for another divorce for we have no notion of getting rid of ono wife, and fnving another put upon us ready and wi'l ng to cut up lieushines. We never liked the notion of Mr. Woodbury asking Congress iolethim issue a new batch of Treasury notes, when his account bhow'd that several .millions cf the old batch was still out and
i4-seei;w
i we ce
unredeem'd to say nothing of the kounterfeits, if any existed. We want for once to see all call'd in and balance accounts, and then if need be, start anew;
I and then we can see what amount is lost ry accidents, what amount is kounterteite, and so forth thai' all at present. JADEZ DISSELL, EZEKIEL FINNEY, TIMOTHY ATWATEK, Committee. Too good to be lost. The story we published from tbe Poughkeepsie Eagle, of (Jen. Morgan Lewis, is confirmed bv a correspondent of the Albany Evening Journal, w ho gives it a little more in detail. It is the Le-t joke of ike (lay, anilsaving Mr. Y right's suggestion to the merchants that they might diminish the political dangers of the Sub-Treasury, by abstaining from importations, and cutting down the revenue! The history of Gen. Lewis' brief "speech" to the Mass Democracy is thus told by the Evening Journal: Cou. .' Etuj. Gen. Lewis began by saying "that lift felt grateful for the compliment bestowed upon him; that he was an old man of 87; that he had been all bis life an observer of public affairs, and probably knew more ofthe history of Sub-Treasurers than mosC present; that the first Sub-Treasurer with vho?e hilery he had been acquainted was Lord , under the Colonial Government, who turned out to be a dcfaulfr.k'J here there was much whispering on thi stage and Vanderpool steppeit bohindj that tin second was , giving tiie name j w ho zras a defaulter!! '.r (here the confusion on-tbe stage increnfed, and Gen. Maison and Diehard I). Davis moved forward) that, in fine, he knew but one man, and he Iired next door t him, who could settle his accounts with the Government as a Sub-Treasurer, and he was enabled to do so by tbe charily of his neighbors, who brought him the gohl and silver in little bags as a loan, lhat he might seem to have it, to secure his re-appointment and the next day it all went back where it came from!!! That for these reasons he had been opposed to the Sub-Treasury. (Here the alarm and confusion of the stage became intense.) D n the old garrulous man said D to M t he don't know when to stop!l lle'il u!k all day, said another; call for Wright. Gen. Maixon stepped up lo thu speaker, and saying to tbe audience in an under tone, (the old General is very deaf) don't you win't to henr I fright and on their calling out for Wright, he put his hand on the speaker's shoulder and yelled in his ear, "don't you hear. General, limy call for Wrighl?" ,-I am just about giing you my reasons w hy I think it may do. If the bill makes it frlony to abstract the money," persevered the General mortification and chagrin was now marked upon every countenance upon the .f;ige. Choke him niT." muttered oner "let us drown him with three cheers," said Gen. Maison, who caipe to the front of the st.igp and threw his cap three times round his head anil bawling hurrah at ench swing. The three cheers, howeveir w-f-re taint and forced: the denf man did nut hiur them! and w.n going on with h is reasons, ttc, w hen Senator Maison gave the signal for three more! Three were gotten up in a batter M)le, and the speaker was reminded to give hi reasons. When Senator Maison gave the signal, the band on the stgo dtrtick up Yandre Doodle,, a grand hubbubensued, aud in the midst of it Vanderpool pulled the old veteran into the chair by his coat taut!!! - (From the following paragraph it would seem that the lo -o focos of Poughkeepsie had not drilled Governor Lewia, before calling upon bim to preside at their meeting. Cou !$ Enq.) 'Tho procession," says ihe Eagle, "finally brought up on the ground in the rear of Hatch's Hotel, towards ttie river,, where they were addressed by General' Morgan Lewis, formerly Governor of tho state. As the venerablo chairman commenced addressing the assemblage, what was the surprise of all, when in the orerflo.vingof an honest heart he declared!, that he disapproved cf the Sub-Trrasu ry .system.' All looked aghast, and wondered what in the world was con;ing. Dut he proceeded nevertheless to show the danger always liable to arise from cn-. trusting heaty amounts of money with individuals, however honest aud responsible they might apparently be. Finding lhat he was al together upon the wrong track to suit them, anu'advocating good Whig doctrine, the mercenariesbegan to call out vociferously for Silas Wright. Dut the olif gentleman, who ii hard of I earing, contiuuedspeakirig, wlien, ihey began again lo call for Wright and started a hurrah and the drums to beating, to stop the venerable speaker.
