filled. The ofiices have been increased in
every department of the Government.
No 6. Economy, was probably the «most
conspicuous in the list of humbugs. Gen.
-Jacksoii was to bring back the Government
to the halcyon days of simplicity and ecoii-
omy. The humbug succeeded to a cliarm—-
the People were exasperated at the extra-
» vagance of Mr. Adams, and economy was
loudly demanded as a national want. Jack-
son canie into power, and under his glori-
ous reign, the expenses of the Government
have been cconom-ized from thirtcenmillions,
the niaxiniuiri in Mr. Adams’.tinie, to twen-
ty-onc millions the actual expense of last
year! _
No. 7. The next liumbug -iii order of
time, was the glorious acliieveinetit of the
payment of the Public Debt, byatid through
the exertion, wisdom and cuiitiirig of
eral Jackson. It was tnadc manifest, that
General Jackson was born for the express
purpose of relieving t.he people from this
burtlien, that none ofit had beeti paid till
he came itito power, that no u1‘l‘fll'lgel11B1ll
was previously made for paying it, and that
he himself was paying it off out of his own
private estate. This was a glorious linin-
bng, and told well at the second elcctioti.
‘It begins now, however, to be pretty gette-
rally understood, that Geri. Jackson is not
payiiig off this debt with his own money-
that the whole system of the sitikitig fund
was arranged lotig before lie.,was thought of"
for the Presidency, that the debt is paid with
_ the public money, and that Mr. Adams paid
offforty-five niillinns duriiig his four years.
The liumbug has had its day.
No. 8. The splendid diplomatic achieve-
ments, the successful negotiations, of Gen.
Jackson, cannot be forgotten in this list of
bumbugs. They covered liiui with “a blaze
of glory” about the time of the last election,
and what was more to the ptirpose gained
him 3 good many votes. There was the
’West India arrangement, which abandoned
the carrying trade to the Eiiglish—tlicii
there was Mr. Rives’s treaty with France,
which abandoned twenty millions of dollars
for five millions, and which we are likely to
lose through a splendid piece of diploiiiatic
were also some small matters adjusted with
Denmark, Brazil, Naples, &c. which have
been magnificently exaggerated, and part of
which were settled by Ministers appointed
by Mr. Adams.
These hutnbugs are new worn out. The
people universally begin to find that they
were sheer humbugs to buy votes; the days
of mouutebanksliip, of trick, and of chica-~
nery, appeared to be drawing to a close, and
so grass was the deformity of Jacksoiiisni
when divested of its Harlequin robes, that
it was evident some new humbug must be
got up, or the whole rnacliin-ery would sink
under the execrations of an abused and in-
jured people. Something must be devised
‘to excite the passions and drowti the rea-
son of the people—sometliing to divert ilieiti
from the naked‘ realities of Jacksotiism.
Then arose IIUMBUG,
No.9. The Bank 1lfonster—Tliis has
hpep the tnnsl hug],-y (s(uu.aoI>+.inn nfllso s-rhcln
family ofhurnbugs. It is worth all the rest.
It is the parent, indeed, of a whole litter of
little hunibiis. The Bank is a Monster, an
Aristocracy, in Monopoly; itinterferes in
elections, bribes printers, corrupts Congress,
subjects us to the sway of Foreign Capital-
ists and British iieblemen, and threatens to
engulph in its termendous stomach the lib-
erties ofa whole people!
succeeded gloriously—the people have join-
ed pell mell with General Jackson in hun-
ting down this chimera, and rescuing their
almostdevoured liberties from its grasp.——
Talk of Don Quixotte and the 'Wind-mill.
St. George and the Dragon, Hercules and
the Hydra, or any other authentic exploit,
ancient or modern, and how ineffably insig-
nificant do these achievements appear, com-
pared with this combat of Gen. Jackson
and the Batik Monster! Happy hunibug!
Exquisite gullibility l how admirable do you
work together, and enable Gen. Jackson to
conceal the fatal stabs he is aiming to the
Coiistitutioti. From this fruitful device
flows another, and the last httmbug, viz:
No. 10. The Gem) humbug—or the gel-
den age revived-—General Jackson has re-
stored it. Every man’s pocket is to be
filled with Gold it is to “flow up our rivers,”
and men will have nothing to do but fish for
it, or pick it up in the streets. “In eight or
nine months from this time,” says that chaste
and veritable organ the Globe,—“every
substantial citizen will have a long sil/con
purse of fine open‘ not war/c, through the
interstices of which the yellow gold will
shine and glitter—every substantial man’s
wife and daughter will travel upon gold I"
Now who would not be a substantial citizen
with MJONG silk purse filled with yellow
boys, or what lady of our acquaintance
would not like to be a substantial man's
wife or daughter travelling on gold! VVe
insinuate naught against our fair country
women, for we believe them to be the very
best country-women in the world; but we
have read of mother Eve, and of Daiiae’s
golden sliower,and we say, that ifour “wives
and dauthters,” resist this tetiiptation and
do not turn Jacksonmen enmrtsse, the sex
will forever stand redeemed from the impu-
tatioiis which scribblers have been pleased to
lavish upon them.
Such, in brief, has been the reign and
progress ofHumbug under Jackson. One
liutnbug has followed another iti quick suc-
cession like the figures in a magic Lantern
-—each is thrown aside when it has lost its
power to dupe the pcople——and now the
whole stock in trade of the party is limited
to the BANK and the Gem) litimbugs. They
will have their day; ‘out that day will be
brief; it ciianot be that the reign of Char-
lantauism is to be perpetual in this coun-
try; the people will awake to a full con-
sciousness oftlie montebank tricks, the gross
quackcry, by which they have been cheated
into a forgetfulness oftheir best and highest
interests: and wlienthey do awake, we may
then hope that the lesson they have been
taught will be effectual for the preservation
and permanence ofour happy institution.

This humbug has
Demoorats.—There are three classes of
politicians who assume the title of Demo-
crats.
The first class is composed of the vast
and increasing body of ofiice ‘holders. They
call themselves democrats, because it is the
only name known among men whereby they
may enter office. They are a gracious race,
and never cavi-l at t-he priiiciples nor -object
to the measures ofthe -powers that be. Their
political creed is laid down in the blue book;
and the only arguments which reach their_,
salary.
The sncond class is made up of those who
’ neither ktiow nor care what are the pl‘-1ll(.:l-
plcs of dettiocracy, but vote the regular‘ t-ick-
et however constituted. They will gulp
down with strange coiiiplaceticy the rankest
federalism~ if the dose be labelled “ Demo-
cracy,” and administered by the regular
physician. These men move in herds; they
adore the name ofdeniocracy without know-
ing what it means; and follow the batiiier
of the party, as Mahometatis follow the
‘ breeches of the prophet when it is borne by
their fees. They are a credulous, liarm-
less and patient people, who never move out
of the traces, and are deaf to reason, patri-
otism, and every thing in short, save the re-
gular word of command. They form an
obedient and well disciplined corps, and
fight as willingly on one side as the other.
From either of these classes it would be
folly to expect iiidepeiidctice or devotion to
liberty. They were born for S’l‘lt‘l(5‘l{lCS, and
should the spirit of VVasliitigton stoop from
the skies to rebuke them-—should the gutl-f.
of despotism yawn at their feet, they would
remain unmoved. Freedom has nothing to
hope from them.
But there is another class, the true demo-
cracy Qfif/ig lam], which comprises the yeo-
tnaiiry, unbouglit, intelligent and free; who
sustain democracy because they euiisiderits
principles the only rules upon which otir
government can be administered, so as per-
manently to secure to the people the bless-
lug of freedom, utiioii atid order. These
men seek no office, bow to no faction, have
no wish bttt for their country, no master
vanity oti the part of the negotiator. There: save tlicir God. It was they who vindicated
‘ democracy in 98, and they will revive and
re~establisli it in its original ptirity and ‘con-
servative vigor, iii ’34.——Fraii/clin I/V/rig.
Culture of Potatoes and Indian Corn.-
Oii passing a well cultivated farm two days
ago, [observed in a potato field that the earth
had been drawn up into hills nearly one foot
high and somewhat conical, closely round
the stems; and I doubted iftliat labor had
been well directed. It is now tweiity-five
years since I had a patch of potatoes which
we had commenced lioeing in dry weath-
er. A neighbor mildly remotistrated with
me against otir proceedings, and said that
polatocs hood in dry weather generally yield
apoor crop. I had not duly considered the
subject, but I took his advice, waiting until
we had a rain before we liocd the remainder,
and the difference in the produce ofthe two
parcels was as great as he had predieted,—-
certainly more than tltrce to one in ;"avm' of
lioeing when the ground was well moistened.
It was not so wet however as to be muddy.
The cause oftliis result was that the leaves
of the potato shed the raiti, and ttirii it from
the hill, perhaps more than any other vege-
table which we cultivate '; and if the hills be
made high and sharp, and once becotne
dry, a moderate rain will rarely penetrate
to the roots.
The potato," to yield abundantly, requires
a plentiful supply of moisture, although it is
very impatient ofstagtiaut water; and some
may wonder why its leaves should turn off
the very thing for which its roots are lan-
guishing. It should be rcmembered,'liow-
ever, that ‘the ‘potato grows indigeiioiisly in
a very different and distant country from
oitrs. In a state of nature, no hills are piled
up round its stems ; and in our culture, we
ought to consider the constitution of the
plant, and remedy as far as practicable the
defects of our clitnate. If it is cultivated in
HILLS, these ought to be neither high nor
sharp, but depressed on the summit; or
rather shaped like a basin, to catch the rain
as it falls, and turn it towards the roots. If
it is cultivated in news with the plough, the
same object should be borne in mind. I
have seen a plough with an additional piece
of wood on the tiiold-board, so as to raise
the earth high round the stems; and when
the work was finished, the ridges were sharp
like the roof ofa house, and turned off the
water nearly as well. The appearance of
a field soon after the operation was fine;
but the crop, as we might expect, was very
light.
lndian corn, on the contrary, will bear
hillitig mticli better; though I think this
business is often overdone. It is very evi-
dent that all the loose earth should not be
scraped from the furrows between the rows,
as I have sometimes secti it; for in heavy
learns, the hard ground, ifleft uncovered, is
sure to crack in dry weather, and let out the
moisture from below. I shall recur howev-
er to my first remark on this plant. The
leaves of Indian corn are so constructed as
to ttirn most of the rain that falls on them
down to the roots. After a short but dash-
ing shower, I have soon after found the
other parts of the field comparatively dry,
while it seemed as if a basin of water had
been poured into each hill.--[Gen. Furmer._|
Elephant at Grecnjiclr1.—The elephant
was two or three hours iti getting over the
Cotinecticut, the evening after he was exhi-
bited here. As soon as he got itito the mid-
dle of the stream, (very deep and rapid at
the place where he crossed) he began to
play about in the water and gambol iii the
most antic manner; and when his keepers
undertook to ptiiiisli him, he immediately
sunk ten or fifteen feet, leaving them to
swim for their lives. A dog who is domes-
ticated with him was then sent to seize him
by the ear and lead him otit; the elephant
wound his trunk around his body, and toss-
ed him twenty feet in the air All this was
done good liumoredly, however, and evi-
dently with no intention of seriotis mischief.
When he was tired of his frolic he came
out and surrendered himself. 'I‘lic scene

Phrcnology.—The Cliristiati Spectator
has a candid, well-writtenartiele -oti this
subject. The writer_ has not unlimited
cotifideiice in that part ofplirenology which
relates to bumps, depressions, &c. and be-
lieves there is mticli that is fanciful and
absurd in the iiumberiiig and the locating of
the faculties; yet he thinks the pli1'enolo-
gists have merit; that ifthey have presented
its with seine dirt and dross, they have also
given us some pure gold. “Trutli, -like
wheat, generally first comes t-o oitr hands
mixed with cliaff.” He gives the leading
. principles of plirenology under the follow-
ing heads. 1. The mitid is depetideiit, in
this life, upon organizatioii, and more par-
ticul=.irly upon the ‘brain as its organ. ‘.3.
The faculties are innate or inborn. 3. The
brain is a mass of organs, each organ being
the appropriate instrument of a fuiidanieti-
tal faculty. 4. The size oftlie whole brain
measures, other things being eqtial, the
power of the whole mind ; and the size of
the individual organs measures the energy
of the individual incntal faculties. 5. The
situation of the individual organs can be
ascertained. 6. The strength oftlie cle-
metitary faculties may be readily discover-
ed, by observing the pijoniitteiicc or devel-
opiiient ofcertaiti regions oftlic head, which
have been marked out.
The writer says it is a generally received
truth that the mind as a whole is dependent
of orgaiiizatioii for its exercise; and that.
the brain, and not the whole body, is the
residence oftlic miiid, has been long, if not
always, known. Dr. Arnott says “a lilow
on the head will change the most gifted
individual into a maniac, cause the lips of
virgin innocence to utter the most revol-
tiiig obscenity, and those of pure religion
to speak the most liorrible bl.isplieitiy.”—
Front facts like these we derive positive evi-
dence that the brain is the. organ of the
mind. These and ot.lier facts and arguineiits
compel us to admit the fuiiclaiiieiital prin-
ciplc ofphreiiology--thatitiiiid is tleperideiit
for its exercise upon the brain as its special
organ. Yet niitid is not rtiattcr nor any
state of matter. To afiirni that tliottglit and
feeling have parts, cxtetision,&c. is as absurd
as if we should ascribe length and breadth
to music. Neither the brain ii.or any ofits
material qualities, is mind, any more than
the violin is music. \Ve know nothing of
the essence of mind. That it is immortal, is
a truth aiiiiotinced by revelation, and which
might be conjectured by a comparison of
the moral constitution of mati, with the as-
certained attributes and character of God.

Extract of a lctlcrfrom a gentleman in Mis-
sissippi to his friend in N- Y. daiccl
Mount Olympus, July 17.-—A dreadful
fight took place in Jackson on Monday
evening. Alexander McCluiig, who is the
strong friend ofGo'vernor Runnels, not long
since, in a motiieiit of excitement, protiouii-
ced General Allen (a lawyer of high stand-
ing,) a coward and a scouiidrel, and applied
many other abusive epithets, which Allen
having heard of, came to Jackson uu Mun-
day, to know ifsuch was the fact, and if he
had any apology to offer. McClung replied
that he had used the expressions alluded to,
and would retract nothing nor ofl'er any
apology. They appeared in the street at
the distance of a liutidred yards apart, and
each, consideriiig it the duty of the other to
attack, acted on the defensive. They were
both well armed, and tlicugli public expec-
tation was on tiptoe, it was disappointed, tic
attack was made by either. After this, a
verbal challenge passed from Allen to Me-
Cltiiig to fight the same evening on the bank
of Pearl river. They agreed to take four
pistols each atid a large knife, to comnieticc
walking up to each other, lieiiig placed eigh-
ty yards apart, and fire when they pleased:
and in case neither should hit or kill with
the pistols to close in with their knives.
They commenced walking very slowly, each
with a large duelling pistol in his hand:
they kept approaching slowly, until Allen
said, “Now, sir, we will see who the d—d
coward is.” Mr. McClung replied, “D—n
you we will,” at the same time stopping still,
raised his pistol, took deliberate aim at Al-
len and fired; Allen at the same time walk-
ing slowly, and elcvatitig his pistol as Mc-
Cluiig fired. He sprang forward and fell
prostrate on his face. McClttng immedi-
ately drew another pistol and stood for a
moment waiting to see if he would get up.
But his fire had taken effect. He had two
balls in his pistol, one of which took him in
the motitli between the chin and lip, and
the other on the side of the head. The dis-
tarice between them at the time of the fire
was thirty-four yards. Allen is since dead.
Telcsco_pcs.—Mi°. Amasa Holcomb, of
Soutliwick, has been engaged several years
in the construction of Telescopes. He is a
self-tauglit man, and has at length brought
his instruments to a high degree of perfec-
tion. His best itistrunieiits have been exa-
mined by a committee of scientific men in
Philadelphia, and by the professors of some
of our New England colleges, and pronoun-
ced equal, and on many accounts superior,
to any that have been imported. Mr. H.
does probably what no man has ever done,
casts and grinds his mirrors and lenses,
makes the tubes, and fouiids atid fits all the
mountings and finishings. He affords the
instruments at about one fourth the price of
the foreign ones. Mr. H. is deserving the
praise of his countrymen, and we hope he
will find a ready sale for all the telescopes
he can make.—l/Vestfield, Mass. Juur.

FACTS ARE 'S'l‘iUBBURN '1‘HINGS.
It is (I. fact, that during Mr. Adani’s ad-
mi‘iiistratioii, the pulilic ‘expenditures of this
great iiatioti -amouiitcd to only about SL3,
000,000 ; and that Mr. Adams was denoun-
ced for his extravagance and waste of the
public iiiouey. ’
It is a fact, that during the administra-
tion of Gen. Jacltsoii, the public expendi-
tttres have been run tip to about 822,000,
000-—-being about ten millions of dollars
per aiinuiii tiiore than Adams expended;
and yet Gen. Jackson is the ccoitoinical and
retrencliing President and friend ofthe peo-
le l
It is afact, that during the ad-miiiistra-
tion of Mr. Adams, the Post Office Depart-
ment paid its own debts, and laid up a lit-
tle for a rainy day—aiid had little to do
with politics.
It is a fact‘, that this same department
under the administration of General Jack-
son, has squandered the money it found on
hand, and run in debt more than a million
ofdollars, and it is now bankrupt in resour-
ces and reputaticii; and is more prostitu-
ted to electionecring purposes than any otli-
er departnietit of the goveriinieiit.
It is a fact, that utitil General Jackson
wrested the public tnoncy frotn its lawftil
depository, the credit of the country was e-
qual to that ofaiiy other in the world, and
its business so flourishing as to dispense
geiicral ciiiploynicnt, plenty and happiness
tlirougliout all its borders.
It is afoot, that, since he has seized tip-
oii the public funds, our natioiial credit and
- currency have been prostrated, our laborers
and nieclianics, and enterprizing men of all
grades and descriptions, in vast nuiiibers
have been thrown upon the world, with des-
tittite families, without resources, to big or
starve.
It is afoot, that more than $4000 have
been paid to one platoon of General Jack-
soii’s artiiy of office lioldors, for the collec-
tion of about $800 of public revenue, at the
port of Genuessee, N. Y.——-more than four
dollars paid for the collectioti of less than
one dollar.
It is afoot, that whilst Gen. Jackson has
expressed ,«_rreat reprcliension of public offi-
ccrs iiiterfeiing in elections, under other ad-
11')llllSll‘3.ll0llS,ll€ has appointed and reward
ed more officers, exclusively for their parti-
zan zeal under his administration, than all
the Presidents we li:ive ever had ptit toge-
thcr-—lie has done more than all of them to
l)l‘ll’lg.llle influence of the general govern-
tneiit into conflict with the freedotii of elec-
tions.
It is a fact, that Gen. Jackson is the only
man who has ever been elected to the pre-
sidential chair, who has attempted to usurp
stipreiiic autliority./who has set up his more
arbitrary will in opposition to the oft ex-
pressed will of the people’s representatives
in Coiigress——who has turned his back upon
and slitit his cars agaiiist, the cries and pe-
titions ofthe people for relief—aiid refused
to listen to, or redress their grievances, bro’t
upon them by the fierce and vindictive pas-
sions of which he is the slave.
7" is I-fire’, that. Gen. Jrtnksfin has done
more towards the subversion of otir republi-
can institutions, the prostratioii of our laws,
the destruction of our liberties, and the ruin
of our citizens, and the general demoralizn-
tion and degradation of the coutitry, than
any other man ever did.
And, it is a fact—a fact that is creditable
to a large portion of the original supporters
of Gen. Jackson, that, as patriots and frieiids
of their country, they have abandoned his
cause, withdrawn from his ranks, iti sorrow
and disgust.
But, it is a mclancho’y fact, that there are
yet iiien—niatiy men, who with all the light
of experience beaniing full ttpoti them—-
with a ftill knowledge of his utter and total
uiifitttcss, iii temper, in education, and in
principle, for the office whose high respon-
sibilities hi; is prostitutitig to the worst of
pttrposes, yet adhere to him and his for-
tunes with a pertiiiacity worthy of a better
cause.
A Peep at Nero Engltuit/.—Tlie subjoin-
cd is the concluding paragrapli of it long,
well written, and sensible letter from a cor-
respondent of the Fredericksburg Arena:
It is dated ‘Vest Point (N. Y.) and is liead-
ed ‘A Peep at New England, No.7.’ There
is a coiicetitration of good sense and true
pbilosopliy in the short paragraph quoted,
which is worthy of all praise, and certainly
not less of imitation. The writer says:
“Our people ought to travel nortliward
ofteiier. They would learn much that is
valuable, in a mere pecuntary point ofview;
and they would profit niucli more, in un-
lcarniitg the prejudices which ignorance
alone and misrepresentation, have fostered
against our northern bretlireti. The latter,
too, have some (though fewer) reciprocal
prejudices, which a closer intercourse
would cure. It is of unspeakable inipor-
tance that these niittual dislikes should be
weeded away. The perpetuity ofour union,
and the peace, the liberty, the happiness of
its members, may, in a great degree, depend
upon the accomplishment of that exptirga-
tion. There cannot be a simpler recipe.—
The North and the South need only know
each other better to love each other more.”
“And what is Friendship but a name.”
A writer in the Norfolk Herald, who
seems to be soured with the world, expres-
ses his lielicf that “there is no such thing as
Friendship,” and says that “the word should
be cancelled from the language.” Howev-
er we may disagree from this writer in his
general proposition, (and Heaven forbid that
any one can be found to agree with him !)
there is iiiticli practical truth in his assertion,
founded on experience, that the “situation
ofa man who depends upon friendsliip, iii
the transactions oflife is similar to that of
the traveller, who, traversing the arid plains
of ‘the desert,’ discovers at it distance an
object which from appearatice he imagines
to be a large lake ; but as he approaches,
he finds it to be only the refleetion of the
stiti’s rays on the wide ocean ofsand l Such
is the case with the man whose frietidship
we are certain of liaving sccured—wlien in
the hour of need and trouble we discovered
our disappointiiieiit: he is the first in the
assistance.”
