 vidual. unsustained. except by the force of truth and justice, coming into conflict with the most popular name, backed by fhe pow CT and patronage of the Government. How the people have stood this test in the present instance, history will record, and, trust, so record, as to impress indelibly, as great and saIutary truth with the American people, a public servant, honestly discharging his duty, need look to no other protection but the en- IIghtened judgment of the community. Before sit down, permit me, Gentlemen, to offer you the following sentiment.

 The people of the United States.-When their public servants shall cease to conide in their intelligence and justice, the days of our liberty will have been numbered.

 At the Military Convention held at Middle. town on the 18th, 1t was resolved to petition Congress fDr new scheme of enrolment and organization to be based on the report of the board of officers in 1928; to petition the LegIs- Iature to reduce the term of service to call State Convention of Militia officers; to peti' ton for the exemption of all General, Field, and Staff Officers from the poll tax; that l Company and Regimental drills are necessa- rv to pcrfect the officers in the practical aud theoretical duties of their command: 1: and to petition the Legislature to adopt Tor the Mlh- tia the system of tactics lately established by | Congress. -Ne,U Hduen Chronicle.

 The in.ufficiency of the President himself, -the precariOusncss of his position as can didste-,he manifold difficulty ot '' getting a. long' with a Chief Magistrate liable, from his deficiencies, to be deceived and irregularly controlled, may, after all, be at the bottom of this ministerial explosion. When it became eI,. aiaxis aVa sn1- so unavoidable to arrange nudes and pre- texts: to contrive declarations of mutual ad miration and regret to task ingenuity, in short, for clever tifcGtion. This, is one of the evil consequences of fictitious state of things :-of inefHciency where there is all re- spo osibility, and where there ought to be all intellectual and moral 6tness and reputation. It has been sOrely felt in France, with Louis Philippe; we pray that cabinet substitutiOns may not be quite so frequent at Washington. as they have been at Paris; but, that they will be frequent, is certain, if the nation should not change her President, for men of high character; and conscious talents cannot long bear the embarrassments and impntatOns in- separable from associations oi subjcction to an incompetent head.-Nat.

 l The public have been astonished at the manner in W hch the new paper at w ashington,

 $ The Globe" was ushered into existence. 1t

 was headed by no note of preparation but burst upon US as suddenly and unexpected as flash of lightning from an almost cloudless sky. In undertaking business so expensive as the publication of newspaper, prudent men generally look little ahead, to see what prospect there is for a reasonable remunera- 1 ton for their lime, labor, and vested capital. But no such consideration seems for an in- stant to have distracted the anticipation of 1 the Editor of the Globe and his indifference is at once accounted for, if it be true as stated in the Louisville (Ken.) Journal,-and we .- -AAsnn tO doubt it,-that " General Jackson SubScriDeS roT GUktvS Ur stIS 0svt,S, 1 Amos Kendall for lOOs and Post Master Gen eral Barry for I0O''-Other fiInctiOnaries not less interested in sustaining the Globe, doubt less are not backward in giving to it handed support, in the way of moneys advanced, ci- ther as gratuites Or loan. We have really arrived at a pretty state of things, when the Press thus " improved" according to Mir. Van Buren's phraseOlOgy and hen, by the gra- tuitous circulation of papers, printed by pen stoned Editors, the patronage of the federal government is brought into conflict with the freedom of elections.-Lym. Virginian. The New York Evening Post mentions the following ingenious expedient on the part of a prisoner confined at Sing Sing to effect an ! escape.

 A large number of prisoners, it seems, were employed in wheeling dirt from one place to fill up hollow in another at some distance. In a part of their route they passed SD far from the line of sentinels that brief dialogue, in low tone, might be carried on without the;r voices reaching the guards. A shrewd rogue seized his opportunity to com

 municate plan which he had formed to the convcts near him, aud solicit their assistance. On drawing near the cavity, he wheeled his barrow to point of it's brink where an inter- of the sentinels. SPringing into the hole he lay down on his side, and having drawn his wheel-barrow in with him, he capsized it over his body in such way, that it formed sort Ofshelter. The convicts who followed trun- dled their loads along to the same place. and dumped them (as the cartmcn technically ex- press it) over their fellow scoundrel, as if nothing unusual had taken place. In n few minutes,, prisoner and wlieelbarrOw were completely buried under light heap of earth, and when one of the keepers soon after pas sed by the place, nothing was seen that was in 1 the least calculated to excite his suspicious. Al the usual hour in the evening the prisoners were conducted within the walls, and the GUS. tOmary inspection made to see that none of the number were missed. One was absent. Search was imme dately made, and certain hints ext0rtcd from que nf the cOnvicts caus- ed the seekers to direct their steps to the hol low. And before they reached it he that was buried had risen, and was already at a safe
