At the battle of Jemapes, Dumourier ^'-1 had for his aidcs-d«-camp, two of the most beautiful, the most delicate, and accomplished young worn *n in society of the time equally chaste and warlike, these modern

Camillas felt a veneration for the profession of arms they delighted in the smoke of the cannon, and the sound of the trumpet. Often, a genera) told me, in the most desperate crisis of the battle, he has heard their slenderbut animated voices reproaching flight and urging to the charge. "^Oa aller-vous, soldats? ce n'est pas Ja Tennemi!—En avanf! suivez!" and you might have seen their waving plumes and amazonlan garb amidst the thickest of the fight.

Government is a necessary evil, and springs from the vices ofmanJSocietv, which grows out of our wants, mkusttfes ld our tiappioess and promotes our pleasures. If individual membert of society were all virtoous, there would be no Heed of any government. The evil tendency of hu man nature, Is the parent of all political institutions. That igoverntnebt is best which secures the largest.share of liberty, with the least restraiot and the lightest burthen. The more frightful systems, usually termed Despotic, are distinguished by the weight and severity of their burthens, the will and the interests of the few prevailing over those of the many, and the exactions invariably madeunder the names of titxes and imposts upon the capital as well as the land and labor of tbe country* Forms of government are not go well known in their names as in their effects and the effects upon the People, are the safest tests of the principles in which they are founded. If the action of the system* as political machine, be to accumulate by exactions large sums of money from the many,&distribute them among the few—if by the means of this agency one class grow rich as the other become poor if the sombre shade of poverty obscure the bulk of mankind and the golden rays of wealth irradiate the panders and favorites of your Government—then, call it by whatever name the fancy may suggest,it is in effect a monarchy, s' ,!?j

The man to whorti Virginia has looked for the clear and steady light of truth whose modest mien and uoclouded scope of intellect, have formed the theme of praise the immortal Jefferson—said that the true test of the two kinds of government could be detected without the aid of chemistry and alchymy and that this test consisted in the burdens, restraints, exactious, and appropriations. We give the substance of what he said—not his precise words. He addeM that small expenses and light taxes were the only safe tests of Re* publicanism. "A

liLooking into bur system from this point in view, and testing its principles by the touchstone of Mr. Jefferson, Het us converse with past (and present) hours, and ask them what report they bear!" The present Constitution commenced its opera-, tions under the auspices of Geo. Washingf ton,in April L789. (We speak of theae^ tual, notkMheSiderial'' time.) The apprd* riations by Congress for (he whole Service )f that year* Civil* Military, and Miscel? aneoui, were little over half a milUenT of dollars—-(639,000.) The subseqtlebt years of himself and his successors were* more costly especially thtke: of his immediate successor. Mr. Jefferson' retraced the Government to the practical maxim of tbe great Pensioner of Holland (John de Wilt,) THAT PARIS1MOKT WAS IN afiPUBIilCS THE BEST OF ALL POBSISLB TAXES. John Quincy Adams, whilst President, with all costs of magnificent fortifications, gradual increase of the Navy, extinguishment of titles in large reservations trf Indian lands imperatively called for by the harmony, (perhaps) tbe integrity of the Confederacy, foreign diplomacy, domestic expenditures, the atmy and navy proper, &c. found his expenditures of less than eleven millions annually, the whirlpool, (the Norwegian maelstroom) in which the bark of his fortunes was wrecked.

Retrenchment was promised by his successor. But alas, how has that promise been fulfilled or redeemed? Those who supported him with these expectations, have found them, like the fruits of the Dead Sea* turning to ashes upon the lips of honest and disinterested Hope whilst the garden of the Hesperides, cultivated and made profitable by the toil, the sweat, and the expense of the great body of the peo

golden apples to the minions and pimos hirelings of power who are the few,the very few, who know the art, by which 'thrift a in

We have sliden fromourpnnclptCT^nnd waste and profligacy have come to us, beneath the pretext of retrenchment and eqonomy. The annual expenses of the present administration equate- nearly twentythree millions of dollars. Contrast this wftb th6 half million of WashinctotiVtirlst year, the three- millions of Jeflerwn, the seven millions of Monroe, and the eleven millions ot Quincy Adarhs but above all, let us not forget the lood cry raised against the younger Adams, as well as upon thie retrenchment pledges upon whi«:h Jackson came into power. Each administration should bear the burden of its own folly and extmvngance. Nor can censnfe righlrully fall on others, than the administration. The appropriations follow the estimates, & the estimates cqme from the administration. The Administration party have likewise tbe power in the taxing branch of Congress and af jt party thef arebodnd to bear the responsibility, for it is exclusively andNtillj theii^s. If we recur, then, to Mr.

Jefferson's test of the several kinds of government, and if tbe chaiacterof oars is to be found in its measure of revenue and expenditure, what claim can be bones fly asserted to light taxes and small disbursement, and the character of government they i.fdicate? We say none. The taxes are paid in the impost, and what is the impost? The people feel it unseen, in all the neceasaiies 01 file.

things must appear to the real Republican oppressive as these taxes are to tbe people, other evils which they hting along with them, are far more pernicious. These unfold themselves in the application of large treasures, by the hands of corruption and genius, to the sinister purpose of malevolent ambition. A new mechanical power has been discovered in the philosophy of politics and a race have sprung up,marked with an unblushing audacity,which employs it. History informs us that a brazen tower unlocked its portals, and the virtue of Danae was sacrificed in a shower of gold. Liberty has been conquered more frequently ^y gold than by arms. The Philosopher of Priene, Bias, one of the seven wise men of antiquity, has left us an aphorism "that the majority of mankind are wieked.,J The Providence of God reveals to us the weakness of his creatures, in that prayer of the Prince of Peace, {his only begotten Son,) where he conjures our Heavenly Father,

tation." Yes, "lead us not into temptation," for poor iallcn human nature is not so constituted as to resist, at all times,the assuaaive arts of a bewitching temptation. He knows most who knows best how little mankind can be trusted, when interest is in conflict with duly. The skill of the Philosopher and the Statesman have been exhausted in the vain effort to discover some other ligature than self-interest, to bind men to their duties, and governments to fidelity. No plan of political institution can survive a temporary existence, that ii not founded in intereat and defended by interest. Let these be its guard and its support, and perpetuity may attend it. But it must be large and enlightened interest which guards, protects, and defends the whole community, whether of men or of States^ The action of men in every free country will be the result of judgment, revolving within itself the questions of interest, and controlled by the bias it imparts.

If tbat judgment is misled, in its deliberations, by A corrupt press, effusing false lights, or by the arts of delusion and misrepresentation, which the pedlars in politics practise among th6 people the consequences will be as fatal to liberty and tb philanthropy, as if the temple of human happiness had fallen a sacrifice and a victim tb more bold and puissant asssailants. Mr. Jefferson saw the danger in its true lights. His large observation of human nature, and his long views into the science of government, enabled him to discover, that the officer holder had an interest that was in collision with the freedom of election and he prohibited the agency of that class in the following letter,addrcssed toone of his Secretaries:

(the

It Is, then, of primary consequence that every young person should 9et out with some point of importance in his view, and to which he is to direet his intellectual energies. And here it should be remembered* that in a very great degree, men become what they are determined to lo. 1 do not mean to. saj that they can counteract and prevent the course of Providence, or that all the mad schemes of ambition and fraod will be successful but obsewation will the remark that, as a general rule* men accomplish what they pursue witha steady, honest, and persevering aim.

An ancient king of Sicily, was trained a potter,and when he reached his high distinction, he used to place vessels of earthen ware, and nthers of gold and silver before his courtiers: "These," said he, pointing to the former,"I used to make with industry and care, till by my strength and valor I was ,«ble to take hold of the others"—pointing to the richer imple-
