ne Ttusssuv CircuInP tCil not e re6eind . by Mr. Van Bureni This. we understand, is now the fiat at Washington. The people of the middle ages, never fixed their eyes more intently upon Rome, when Papal Bull was about to be illuminated, than do we, a free people (what mockcry in the name } now upon Washington for every thing of hope or dread. Fact it is, that Mr. Van Bu- ren indirectly authorized the Van Buren Senators of the North, and the West, and the South West to report, as they returned to their homes,- that the Treasury Circular would soon be rescinded-but fact it is also, that the finger of Old Hickory" but shaken at him in wrath, is more terrible in his eyes than all the convulsions of an afflicted peo- pie. It is understood, that MT. Van Buren iOould repeal the Treasury Circular, but he dare not. King Log shivers like an aspen | leaf at the very croak of King Stork!

 1 This is a popular government we are told Congress is the authorized Exponent of the will of the people! The voice ofthis people 1 is the voice of God Beautiful all this in theory, and delicious to dwell upon, but what nonsense it is in our practice now! The principle of the Treasury Circular for exam- | pie, when first proposed in the United States Senate, just before the Summer adjournment ot the last Congress, met with the support of 1 but one vote, and that was Thomas II. Ben

 

 Congress was off, the fiat of the President | made itlaw. Congress assembled again. But seven Senators out of 8 supported the Circular, and an immense majority in the House passed. an act repeating it, & putting it out of the power of the President to issue such circular again. The President approves it! Oh no. He vetoes it Oh no. But he pock- cts it till Congress adiourns. He dares not veto if, for he knows it will pass, but he pock- cts it till Congress is off, when it cannot be- come a law. r ogu1 gr Now there are those, who in the face of these facts tell us, this is a popular govern ment! Arc they blockheads, or do they SUD- pose us fools? There are those who cry down the deSpotism of Austria, and Russia, and who chuckle over "thc sublimity of American freedom" What lesson is but the plain statement of these facts to the op- pressed of Poland, and of Italy, to rest quiet m their subjection, for no where on this broad earth, dare tyrant outrage his people more Congress has spoken with all the power with which 1t could speak, and has comsnsand ed the repeal of the Treasury Order. But Congress alone is not the only authority that commands. If Mr. Van Buren is deaf to the voice of Congress, is he deaf to the thun,lers ot popular ciamor! If so, the bolts ot popu

 

 Wings of the whole Union speak, and they, be it ever remembered, are now majority 1.-the people, as was proved by the last Pres idential election-but the Whigs alone do notspeak. All parties have but one common cry on this subject, and that is, Repeal the Treasury Circular. New York is not the on- ly city that rings with the cry-but every city on the Atlantic, and every city on the Lakes, rings with loud response.

 Our letters from Washington, and the Journals of the new States, (from Wisconsin in particularly tell us that large sales in the public lands are yet going on, and Ttoenty- jfue -Nllaoes of dollars, we shall again proba-- bly, have as revenue from that source. Is MT. Van Buren mad enough to force the peo- pie to pay for all this in specie, while the merchants in the Atlantic States can pay in paper for all their Custom House dues Who gave him right to distinguish between one class of public debtors and another Who authorised him to inf1ict this stigma upon the West! 1.-the Experiment is to- be pushed, why not push it out, and drive the importer | to the Custom House with his carloads of dollars and cents, as well as the land pur- chaser of the West !-N.

 The Ladies of Holland-Thc Dutch women are distinguished for their amable manners and purity ofnorals. They are usually well educated, and seldom fail to acquire the es- teem of strangers by their polite and hospi- table attentions. In the province of Gueldres, the females are, generally speaking, noted for their beauty and neatness of attire. When you behold their countenance, observes a foreign writer, " the color of which is an eyi- dcnce of the healthy climate of Gueldrcs, they seem 10 glitter amidst their large straw hats, lined with blue silk stuff. like bright stars in the middle of theazure Armament" The dress of the females in North Holland may be described as no less elegant than simple, while their usually beautiful countcnances render them objects of attraction. It twould be an unpardonable omission not to remark that the Dutch women are renowned in his-s tory for the hcroism they have cvinced on different occasions in defending the liberties of their country. 34*

 Court of Inquiry.-The revised opinion of the Court of Inquiry in the cases of Gen. erals Scott and Gaines IS published in the Globe with the approval of President Van Bu- ren.
