draw the old party lines in reference to the present Administration and the presses in that interest affect an amusing exclusive ness to the claim of being the organs of the old republican party. To show the talsity of this assertion, tho fact has been stated that but one man of the old Feder- al party, Mir. Mills, of Massachusetts, is attached to the Administration in the Sem ate, while it is notorious, that Messrs. Tazewell, Berrien, Rowan, Ridgely, Me Lane, and we believe some others, are the principal leaders of the Opposition in the Senate, every one of whom were identi- fled with the federal party during the ad ministration of Jefferson and Madison. The Leading paper of the Opposition, the Washington Telegraph, is rather puzzled at this state of the case, and to help the matter has got up list of the members of the Senate, friendly to the Administration, who, according to its story, are of the true Hortford Contention stamp! Our readers will be much amused to learn that this for midahle list is thus made out. After nam- ing Mir. Mills, the Telegraph says-"We now add to that list" Ia list, by the way having but one name upon it) "Mr. Har- rison, of Ohio, MT. Noble, of Indiana, MT. ROBBINS, of Rhode Island, and Clay ton, of Delaware. All of thase are the 1 advocates of MT. Adams, and although they were not all as much identified with the Hartford Convention as Mir. Mills, the editors of the Intelligencer know that they are federalists."

 As to Mir. Harrison, ever body knows he was appointed governor of the North Western Territory by MT. Jefferson, and Noble has represented Indiana Ia repub- lican state) in the Senate ever since she was admitted iuto the Union. MT. Clay ton undoubtedly ranked as federalist, but he is no longer in the Senate.

 As to "Mr. Roddins of Rhode Island" he has been leader republican in this state, since the first administration of Mir. Jefferson, and has repeatedly been supp ported by that party as a candidate for state offices. We commend to the perusal of the Editor of the Telegraph pamph- let written by Mir. Robbins in 1911, de- lending the policy of MT. Madison.

 It is, in our estimation, perfectly ridi- ulous to attempt to revive these forgotten distinctions between parties that no longer exist. We rejoice to find that the present Administration is supported by the liber- al men of both the old parties, and that the true distinction now is honesty, capablity, faithfulnes to the Constitution, without reference to the badges of party. This it is that the opposition dread so much. They act purely as politcial -partizans and mercinaries, and he among them who has no honest claim to reward for his services, can look for reward only under leader who is pledged to elevate his own parti- zans merely because they are such. We should not have noticed this wild statement of the Telegraph, but for the purpose of correcting so gross perversion of fact

 If this be specimen of the truth that pre- vails in the colums of that paper, its dis cipleS must be in most alarming state of ignorance-Prov. Amer.

 Letter from Jack Tar to his Uncle Sam. DEAR UNcLE-I have made number of voyages in your good ship Union, and l admire her accommodations, her sailing, and the good order which has usually prevailed on board but from what have lately overheard, I" understand that some part of our crew are clamouring for a change of officers, which if effected may produce trouble. IL appears that their de- sign is to turn out tie present Pilot out of his birth, and make pilot of the Gunner, who is as bold man as ever pointed can- non, but boldness is not the qualification for which pilot is most valued. and l hope you will excuse me, Uncle, if say that in the characteristic of Pilot, that aI ounce of circumspection is of more wortf than pound of boldness, if they could be both weighed. Your pilot has long studi- ed to make himself acquainted with the native shoals, and with foreign straits, and his attention is so devoted to the Chart an d Compass, that when I turn in at night, I feel as safe, as if was landed on Terra- Firma. Since I have been on board the Union, her guns have rairly been fired ex- cept for rejoicing, and I hope they never will be heard for any other purpose, but if your Gunner should be showed into the Pilots place, his fondness for the cannon's sound, may possibly lead him to indulge his favorite amusement, at the hazard of the ships Company. My fears have led me to make these remarks, which l hope you will excuse from Your respect
