As to the patronage of the government, said he when it is used discreetly as an auxilliary to sustain a party in power, its influence cannot be unfelt, but thai patronage alone can never build up a party for any man. Mr. Ritchie, I am certain, had qo idea that 1 had a distinct object in ascertaining his views on this point* and therefore spoke entirely without reserve."

DIFFICULTIES IN GREAT BRITAIN..
The embarrassments which beset the Peel Administration in England have thrown difficulties in tlie way of the Ministry from which no means of extrication have yet been found. Distrust of SIR ROBERT PERI.'S ability is openl expressed by journals which once supported him. The withdrawal of the Factory Education Bill, in consequence of the popular opposition, has drawn upon the Government the reproach of pusillanimity for abandoning measure which it had brought forward. The Tory press taunts the Minister for hia weakness and irresolution instead of seeking an excuse for him in the difficulties by which he is surrounded. It is declared that the Administration remains in power only because ol the sheer inability of anv other party to take the reins of Government.— The Iiondott Spectator says: "Where is the difficulty-oonquerirt* Peel of I84SR— In England and Scotland^ latent Chartism will re-ap-pear if there should beclVil war in Ireland. The real source of Chartism and Socialism, and all the other revolutionary uraw, is economical suffering where is Sir Robert "Peel's remedy? The revenue fails-. Sir Robert Peel is no longer deemed a great Finance minister Kvery body feata that "something for the coontry"'is wanted, aed Sir Robert P«l proposes nothinr He appears now as the bew !de*ed minister-Ae the leader of a party his position ts no better. Those of his supporters whom be offended bjr his last year* etatesmitnebip have him now at their mercy- He Wi so little master of the House of Commons this year that, he will probably have to withdraw or mutilate government measures of importance. The Whigs, whose
rty waa extinct six months back, are crowing at embarrassments, and beginning to talk of coming in again. The Prime Minister baa scarcely Ions supporter in the whole newspaper press. It ia his deficiency of statesmanship duriog the presentfear, which has brought hhn down as a party leader, and the effect corresponds in degree with the eaaaa."
It wilt he a hard matter for any British minister to find a way to relieve hia country Irom the ills which have come upon it it the ramlfs of along established svstem of eristocratical government.

The Whigs most eonfidenlly. umph by a magnificent den|[at ei^ptim osuct year. It te haVe jtestafaed a aeries of defeats past two years, but they are i^ot in dishearteniBd. We expected defeat, Ipsgause there wi no indutidfflent cifiered to oar party to tarn but, „Many as true-hearted Whigs as the MMralry contains staid at home parpoa^y* They wished to throw the rest^on* slbility of this legislation^ of the country, during the remaining time of the present wretched Administration, on other shonideis. We say (be reason why the Whig party has sustained defeat daring he past two years ia not that our force is diminished, but thaVwe have had no inducement to exert oursgtrea. What would it boot us to have the most formidable majorities in the ensoing Congieast Could we carry a single measure for which We are now contending Would not^ that miserable incarnation o/ perfidy that disgraces the Executive chair of the nation "iaierpose the power he unfortunately wields between the Whigs and the country Woqld he not strike every great restorative measure, which the Whigs might pass, dead with the lightning of the Executive veto What inducement then, we ask, exists while trg|£h* ery disgraces the Chief Magistracy of the land, Why the Whigs should exert themselves with all the force they possess to gain a vk tory which would be barren of fruits
The last Congress was Whig io^heth branches. The party rallied in 1840 and ejected the Vandala and Goths from the ascendancy in the (Sovernment. But treachery, unexpected and immedicable, triumphed where Locofocoism failed it defeated*the Whigs, fresh from the best fought contest since the foundation of the Government. We had the majority in both houses, aad could do nothing for the regeneration oflihe country. That miserable nightmare, Ty^ir, was accidentally seated upon the country, and the Whigs could do nothing. What tgison existed then why they should wishlo perpetuate a barren ra-ijority in Congrtjss There was none. Thousands and hundreds of thousands of good and true Whigs retired from a profitless contest for a season, and permitted our foes to triumph in the SMte' elections*,' The retirement of the Whigs from the scene of action is thd reason of the success of Locofocoism they owe their laurels not to their strength, but to Whig indisposition to contest the field With them. If they can flatter themselves on a victory thus gained, we shall not allege anything in opposition to their singular tastes. They vremt them but temporarily. This we know, and of this we will convince them next year.
Our object is not now so much to account for Locofoco victories, as to show that, according to Locofoco calculations, the Whig*must triumph in 1844. Judge Colquitt, df Georgia, recently made a speech in Mobile,in which, he said the reason why the Locofoco convention of Georgia nominated Mr. Calhoun for the Presidency wus the conviction that, if Mr. Van Buren waslhe Locofoco candidate, the success of the Whigs in Georgia was certain. The Locofocos in Ohio say that their Slate is lost to them unless Mr. Cass be the candidate. The same party in
The truth is, that, let Locofocoism say what it pleases, it feds very dubious of success indeed. If all the friends of all its as pi., rants could be induced to concentrate their hopes and support on either one of them, why then we grant that the prospects of Whigism would be shorn of some of their splendor.*** But, in the very nature of things, a general coalescence of the various predilections that now operate favorably on the mass of Locofocoism is utterly impossible. In the first place, all the friends of the Locofoco candidates are not Locofocos. In thesecond place, thousands of them prefer Mr. Clay to any other Locofoeo than the one whose cause they espouse. When the great Convention meets and makes a nomination* tens of ihoasands of the present supporters of the "Democracy" will fall oflf like the withered leaves from the forests when swept hy .the frathful blasts of November.
Wedo not object to the Locofocos enjoying their present victorious attitude. They ought to make themselves very merry indasd, for their mirth will be of very transient continuance. It would be inhuman to infuse bitter-

HISTORICAL MEMORANDA.
The object of the Pnritaos in the reign of (the Protlstgnt) Queen Elizabeth, was not to obtains TOLERATION ibr the quiet enjoyment of their *n tenets and modes of worship but it was lo subvert the existing establishment, and to erect their own system upott its rains. So far from wishing /toa toleration, they expressly disclaimed and refused one, when something of the kind seems to have been rateoded for them. There is a warm declaration of theirs, still extant, upon this point, directed to 'those who labor to root out the weeds of popery.' 'As for you, dear brethren, whom Gud hath call'd into the brUnte of the battle, the Lord keep you constant, that jte yield aeitker to toleration, neither to any other subtile persuasions of dispensations or licenses which were to fortify their Romish practices but as you fight the Lord's fight, be valiant. The matter is not so small as the world doth take it it will appear, bei fore alt be ended, what an hard thing it ia to cot off the rags of the hydra of.Rome. Let us not make the heritage of God as a bird of many colours, holding of divert religions, but rather let us take sway, if we can, the names, memories, and all monuments of popery.' In the previous reign, Cranmer Ridley, Latimer and others had died at the stake in the cause of the Reformation the bishops and clergy of tbe Reformed Church were, nevertheless, constantly represented by the Puritans as bearing the names and supporting the monumeots of popery "and the single request or command of the Puritana in what style soever they spoke, was, to overthrow entirely the established government and worship, and introduce their own with penalties, and eoen sharp punishments, to be inflicted upon those who would not comply with it." "In one of the pieces written by Johnson, a leader of the Brownists, entitled 'Anti-Christian abominations yet reteycled in England,' the 33d abomination enumerated is -ftferatioM." ••'imv-'u "The jHWjf Discipline which the Puritans labored so hard to introduce" was perfected by the xealous Cartwright, and finally published in 1644. One of the first laws therein contained prohibits the calling of any to ecclesiastical benefices but those "who have first subscribed the confession of doctrine and discipline." "This would at once have deprived all the episcopal clergy throughout the nation."
The author of the "Defence of the
Admonition" (another official paper,) speaking of certnin persons who "may be of, and in the commonwealth, who neither may, ndr can be, of, nor in the Church," siys, that "t he church having nothing to do with such, the magistrate ought to see, that they join to hear sermons in the place where they are made," 'and cause them to be examined how they profit, and if they profit not, to PUNISH them ind 09 their contempt groweth, so to increase the punishment, until such times as they declare manifest tokens of un-repentantness and then, as rotten members that do not only no good nor service in the body but also corrupt and infect others,cuttkemqff." "All mon (said Goodman, one of the heads of the Puritans) are bound to see the laws of God kept, and to suppress and resist idolatry by force. Nor is it sufficient for subjects not to obey the wicked commands of princes, but
preachers to death, the people in seeing it per» formed thew that teal of God which teas commended in Phineas.,r Numbers, xxv.*
How far ROBINSON (under whose auspice* the May-Flower sailed from Holland) agreed with Cartwright and Goodman and Johnson before he left England for Amsterdam, it is impossible to tell. After his removal from England, however, (1609,) he wrote his "answer" to the celebrated Bp. Hall who had charged him with unnecessarily separating the tri-f^reni tho Church of England. And in this event

TYLERI8M.
There is no word—there catr be no word inve nted—-which by association orttpplication can expresasjfo the people of the United Stfctes soYully and so clearly the ineffable meanness of an act* as this word Tylerism. It embraces all the degrees of treachery* public, private and official—it includes all the significations of baseness* sordid, vile, mean—it expresaess to the mind, all that can be conceived of littleness in office, littleness out of office, littleness in the social oircle~-it characterizes an act which arouses the indignation, and contempt, the scorn of every honest man—it shuts out the idea of every good, remote, present or past-—it applies to every thing wanton, disgraceful and dishonorable--it signifies that very worst, last and meanest act which a mortal being would or'could commit, and the very Inst thing which a man would like to be identified with—it is something disreputable, whether regarded in the abstract or the Concrete, and covers the act and the actor all over with disgrace, miking him a moral leper. As the Globe forcibly expresses it, it is that thing which "is- death a in iv

The last species of Tylerism which we' have seen noticed, is that of the removal of two officers of the Custom in Richmond, because they had voted for Mr. Botts for Congress So shocked was every decent man of Richmond at this fact'of Mr. Tyler—so utter* ly unworthy the office he fills to the injury of the country, though so entirely in keeping with the character ofthe man, that a memorial was got up, signed by men of all parties, and carried to Washington, as the Richmond Enquirer tells us, '-by one of the most respectable citizens, a friend of Mr. Tyler, [which, we submit, is an impeachment of his respectability in one sense,] but that he has returned very mudh dissatisfied. The President refuses," the Enquirer adds "to recede from bis position.'*
The Enquirer characterizes thii act as "small potatoes." That may bo a low degree of basenes', but this act ia worse" it is Tylerism /-—Baltimore Patriot.

Magistrate in the borocgh of Tarentum, Pa, Went to the house of a man living five miles back of that place, according to previous arrangement, to marry a couple. He arrived,at the appointed time, and finding no preparations for a wedding, he began to think he was hoaxed. He consequently went to afield where a man was ploughing, to see what was wrong. On bis. arrival the man stopped his plough, saying he would see if she was coming and after walking a few steps, with hi* eyea fixed oo a little hill ata short distance, they saw a beautiful girl of about sixteen descending hs hejglhs, and wending her way towards them.

The comlttencement of thisfnstitution took place op the 19th July. On Tuesday the 18th, at 3 o'clock P. M., Professor Twining recently eAecicd to tjn» ehkir of Mathematics and Natwral Philosophy, delivered hirinau gural address. Jt was highly credible to author—was puro in style, elevated in se ment, and the audience testified their pleasure by a fited nnd marked auction.—Mr. Twining fills the place made vacant by the deal!) ot* the late lamented Professor Thompson.
Rev. Henry Beecher, of Indihnapolis, followed Professor Twiniig ia an interesting address before the Society of Inquiry. He displayed much originalfty of thdtight and fearlessly portrayed in striking colors the evils of our. country and cleaj-ly pointed out re *&uhd evoning an address was delivered befonpRie Eupbronean Society, by Rev. Elipha White, of South Carolina. It was a most happy effort and those we have heard express an opinion, speak of it with admiration—this address, weare pleased to learn, it to be pub-limited—-it will then speak, for itselfc
Tbe exefeisee on commencement day— Wednesday—consisted of orations from tha graduating class—eight in number, 'i he Bacculaurate of President White, with musio by the Band, composed of the students of the college. The center Church was crowded with spectators, and we were gratified to see present so many visitors from diflerent portions of the State—it manifested a healthy stale of feeling towards our literary institutions and that a deep interest is felt in the education of our youth. The audience shewed their high satisfaction in remaining during all the performances—which lasted six hours--witboilfoanifosting impatience.
The graduating class did themselves great eredil. Their orations were of a high intellectual order—and it was remarked by several who have been in the habit of attending the commencement of some of our Eastern Colleges, that they had never been present when the students acquitted themselves more honorably. Nothing sectarian in religion or politics, did we discover in their performances, which were alike credible to themselves and the faculty of the college.
In conversation with the officers of this stitulion, we were gratified to learn that it was their intentien that young men placed under their pare should receive as thorough an education as can be obtained in the older colleges of ouf land.
The Presidents Baceulaurate address wits listened to with great interest and attention, it was worthy of the man and we believe wil£ not suffer in comparison with any address de^ livered on a similar occasion. It is to be published, and we feel assured that those who have an opportunity of reading it will not
think we speak too highly of it. His subject was independence of mind. We do not feel that we do justice to the citizens of Crawfordsville without speaking of their hospitality.—They spared no effort to render the visitors on the occasion comfortable nnd Iwppy.—'Their polite attention will long he remembered. At the Pretftlglttli house on Wednesday evening we met several hundred individuals, who by their cheerful looks and happy faces testified their gratification and /merest. Kore those of various religious sects and those differing in political sentiments, united in social and friendly intercourse.

ANOTHER BREACH OF PROMIiE. Wo announced a few days since that a writ for $20,000 had been served by SherifTStryker on a gentleman in Platlands for a breaoh of promise of marriage. Whether tho arrest of the "gay Lothario" reminded one Miss Long of a promise made by one Francis Garrity, both parties being natives ofthe Emerald Isle, is more than we can avouch, but be that as it may, Miss Mary Long sued out a capias ad respondendum against the faithless swain Francis, in tho sum of $10,000, for refusing to complete an arrangement which had been made when on board ship, crossing, as Mary said,

Tbe sheriff proceeded lo the whereabouts of Mr. Gerrity, and having found that worthy, informed him of bis business.

A lady had^traveled from a distant State to visit her sister, residing in tbe county to which we refer. And when within two mites of tbe termination of her journey die meta funeral train. The husband of her sister was the chief mourner, and the hearse was bearing towards th» grave the remains of that sister whom she was seeking.
There was neither time nor place for explanation, but the afflicted visitor turned and joined the procession and before the earth closed upon the object of her afleetion, she took leave of her at fbe opes coffin, beside the waiting grave. rlt is not necessary to moralise on this event but, perhaps the ease is only singular as regards the affinity of the bereaved. Almost air that we seek in this life, with the highest expectations of pleasure, disappointments our leave, witboat bearing a reponse to our faretrail. These things would appear in a difier» eot light, if, instead of meeting to part again, we encsM eooskbr tbat we part to meet and that what' we lose, has Only outstripped oar amcse* and attained In advance of us the goat towards which we areaH hiicteiUQg—Fh0^ V. $.
