Unite'' States, but the principles are r.Tecisely the same, as far a rn -nev, family influence, an ridiculous ti!e. can wo." It is a strange innovation on 'he rights of the peopb, and a direct vii.iii.-ti of our excellent Constitution, to admit any exclusive privileges into our councils, thereby establishing an odious umpirage f rank, and tending to destroy the vitality of Republican simplicity ! We ofter hear men declaiming against monarchy, and the hateful proscription of civil rights, as necessary to its existence; thev raise the star spangled banner of our Un! non the citadel of Independence, and at the sair o time, foster the undying worm of Aristocracy in their bosoms !

Genius trudges along the barren r"ad to Fame, hungry, ragged, and bare footed igiv ranee riding in a coach, dressed in silken attire, and attended l.v servants in splen 'id equipages. Money! JVIonev! is the grand criterion by which get. iu and worth is to be judged it is the touch stone of honor and popular esteem it elevates a thief to the highest pinnacle of earthly glTy;and he who has none, mar strive in vain -f r civic applause, for he will not obtain it. Who is elected to Congress, to the State Legislatures, or to any o'her important 'ihccs in the gift of the people? The rich! Who despise the poor, and trample on the dearest righ of freemen, whenever an opportunity offers? the rich! Who boast of r. lengthy iineaR of an ancient and noble race? the ri(!i! Who bamboozle the worthy Farmers and Mechanics out of their votes, and at the same time, consider them little better then vermin ? the ri'li! The Farmers and Mechani:'s frequently complain of these encroachments upon their righis; bui he thould consider the fault is to be -attribu'.ed to themselves: they increase the int icrtce complained of, by bowing and cringing to meu in power. They often find, to their cost, that they are nut only expelled from tbe society of the wealthy, but are not permitted to unite ineinstmos in matrimonial alliances with wealthy families, i nle they possess a monii! capital, or a property qualification.

jEnglish in fina slylc. fat us inquire, by 1 what means thin superabundant wealth '

was acquired? Perhaps, it was got by over reaching, and by those pretty arts of chicanery, upun which popularity is generally constructed. It so, it is a violation of every rule of virtue, to elevate names marked with crimes; names, which if they were not coupled with wealth, would in evitably descend to posterity, amidst the execrations of mankind! And what have the Farmers and Mechanics done, that they should be pointed at, as men without character, fidelity, rr respectability ? Surely, they are the bulwarks -of our glorious Constitution, and are the direct progeny of those patriotic heroes, who shed their blood that we might exist as an independent nation free from British corruption and usurpation. Last war, the Farmers and Mechanics fought all the battles, and nobly defended their country, against the united forces of Wellington s invinrihlcs; thousands of these gallant men were taken from their homes, families, and fire ides, and were 4tted into the public service, while their wives and children suffered with hunger. The nobility were not called into active service as com mon foot soldiers without merit, or any ; other qualification, the government con-j ferrcd the highest military ranks on them, and it was trulv laughable to behold boys just loosed from their mother apron strings, strut'ing out in regimentals, and drilling old veteran soldiers! To this cause may be attributed all the disasters, which befel the United States' wins, and rendered them less victorious, whorame game is now playing over again, with a chance, however, of success, in respec to military capacity; rich nabobs are determined '.hat their sons snail have exclusive jurisdiction, and rule the nation, by educating them at that intolerable neat of Aristocracy, West Point; and that too, at the public expense! Scores of young aristocratic "military chieftains" are turned out every year from that institution to fatten on the public treasury, while thtsir fa thers are hoarding up gold ar.d silver to buy them a patent of nobility hereafter. Thus, the pockets of the poor are robbed, to pay taxes in order to sustain that villainous scheme of corruption, the West Point Military Acadcmv. According to the most correct accounts, whb'h we are disposed to credit, as they have never been doubted, only TWO poor children have been educated at West Point, one of these boys whs an orphan, who a member of Congress adopted, and shuttled ctf as a cadet, to avoid the expense of maintenance and the other was the son of a saddler, living at Urbaua, in the State of Ohio. The father electioneered for Gen. V ! mg the saddler s sun a cadet's appomtment. If these are not infringements upon the rights of the people, we know not what to call thorn. The powerful influence of the Aristocracy is visibly severing the bonds of this Union, by inculcating a false taste for trilling amusements, and prostrating Virtue to a level with Vice! An adherence to this odious system, has subverted the British Constitution, and made Great Britain a land of nobles, who have trampled on the banner of freedom, and crushed that stern martial spirit, uhich once elevated harabove all the other aations of continental Europe. WThiihcr has flown the noble spirit of Hampden Sydney? alas! it has departed to fairer realms, and left Old Eng land forever! Arc we positive that such will not be the ultimate fate of our own Government, unless the Farmers and Mechanics arise in their strength, and destroy the conspiracy against their rights tnd prcvilcges, fomented by more than one Catiline? Let them attend to thceduca iion of their children, and instil into their infant minds the sacred principles of freedom, which will not be obliterated in future years, when they are called by their country, to defend it against foreign or domestic aggression. They should also be taught to respect no man on account of his wealth. lie who bows and cringes to a human being, no better than himself, in the scale of mortality is not filling to bedigni lied by the name of man he is a slave, and his menial submission only tends to rivet his shackles closer!

The preceding volumes of the Casket, sufficiently prove the punctuality of the publisher in fulfilling his contracts with his patrons, as regards its contents and embellishments, and arc sufficient, with those at all acquainted with the work, to show its true character. The constantly increasing patronage bestowed upon the Casket, has enabled the publisher to add considerably to ts value.

Philadelphia, Nov. 27, 18331 The anxiety to bring into activity the ta ent of the country, induced the publishers of the Novelist's Magazine to offer a premium of Ave hundred dollars for the best novel, on a national subject, for that publication. But by the report of the committee; which is subjoined, the manuscripts submitted to their perusal, are not of that character which would warrant the award of that premium. The time is therefore extended, as is also the amount, which, it is to be hoped, will induce native talent to exertion:

1 he undcrs-.gned, a committee selected for that purpose, have examined a number of Manuscript Novels, ofFered as competitors fcr a premium, proposed to be gien by the publishers of the Novelist's Magazine. 4to the author of the best novel, ou a national subject." While the undersigned are of opinioa that several of the novels submitted to their inspection, possess considerable merit, they do not think any one of them is altogether of such a description as would warrau: them in awarding the premium. DAVID PAUL BROWK. JOSEPH It. CHANDLER.VVM. M. MEREDITH. RICHARD PENN SMITH: ROBERT EWING. JOHN MUSGRAVE. MOR ION McMlCHAEL. There is no country which, for the time of its civilized and political existence. cSers so wide and untrodden a field for the eiterprize of the novelist as this and it is, net alone the interest, but the duty of those who possess mind for the task, to occupy the field of competition, and thus piobably establish his own reputation, and promote that of his country. Independent of the national inducement, the attention cf the literary aspirant is directed to the following: In order to assist in advancing American literature, and give the readers cf the Novelist's Magazine a share in the advantage of meritorious talent, which the country possesses, the publishers of that work, satisfied that the best way to promote talent is to reward it. offer a premium of SEVEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLARS, to the author of the best novel, upon a national subject to be presented on or before the first of April, 1834. This premium will be awarded by a chosen committee; and ttic successful work will be printed in handsome book-form, corresponding with the best London editions of popular novels, in order that the manner of its publication may correspond with the merit of the author. The competitor for the premium will understand that, in addition to the seven hundred and fiftv dollars, he will be entitled to fifty dollars for every thousand copies of the work which may be sold, during the continuation of the copy wright, or five dollars for every hundred; which, when competent talent is exercised on the work, is not unlikely to produce a fair remuneration. The new and very popular novel, entitled "Village Belles," is now in course of publication tor the Novelist's Magariae and will be issued in the next number of that work. It is a production cf more than ordinary excellence, and will be read much interest and anxiety. It may alto'ha proper to say that the subscribers to the No. vehst's Magazine will, in the course of the work, obtain a uniform edition cf the writings of Mr James, the acknowledged inheritor of the genius ofSir Walter ?cott and also of the works of the leading literary characters of the day, among whom are BULWKR, 13A MM, SCC. &C Rags !
