PROPOSITIONS TO BE CONSIDERED.
I. It John St‘_llS to Jouathanltuore than he

tht_- year be in debt, and ifthisstateoflhings
continues 1! sufficient length of time, John
will have a mortgage on Jotiath=in’s farm
and eventually sell him out. Thus: if John
sells Jonathan goods to the annual cost of
$1,000 and buys of .lon=tthan’s produce tothe
tuiount of 3500. Jonathan ttttlie end of the
first year is $500 in debt —at the end of the
second year his debt is $l.000—at lhe en"
of the third year $1.500. besides interest ;
and so on for any length of time.
2. If Jonathan has other property bssiclc

£ '2. if under this state of things Jonathan
iltt-rn'tirit-s to make at home what he has
high inlthe habit of buying ofJohn, he will
lirtd otttlthe. following facts :_ l. Supposing
;l§t- costfnf labor and material the same. be
iiill poi,-/cal the entire profit which /re before
jnid tttJohn. This, taking one year with
énothel, will not be for front 25 per cent. In
itber tlords. he will save one-fourth of his
i1rit:a'/t-.xpe:dittirt- in this behalf. 2 By
‘t~tliin’g in other men to assist him in nitiking
these llt"\\' fabrics. he will bring upon his
firm al large number of new comers, who.
ivith tlieirfarnilics, ritust be fed; and for
k-edit] ‘ them he ts sure of his pay, as he is
l.ht'it' e plover: so he makts tl double profit
-'_.upo the produce which it» sells them and
also u on the fabrics which they manufac-

b- betycr clothed, fed and paid; as :1 man mo-
king ‘nit profits, can ztfford more liberal wa-
ges ‘titan one who is running be-hindhand cv-
prv year. They will also buy their goods
ch'9ap-r, as John's monopoly will to an ex-
tent ll least have been broken up.

The Hon. Daniel V/Vebster of Massachu-

He said : _
"I enjoy. geiitletnen. great pltasure in

With alltesprct he would say that Mr. Van
Burcn might save himself much time in
writing and his friends much time in reading
if he would only adopt some formula for his
corespondcnce. When we ask 3 friend,
"How are you this inorning-.7" the reply is
usually short and to the purpose. In my
part of the country, however. they would be
apt. to say. "Oh l I don't know, thank yel
pretty much as usual.” which would be it
capitttl formula for that distinguished indi-
vidual to go by. He never was much of a
believer in that plausible maxirn of the poet,
“VVliat e’er is best administered is best.”

THE GRAND PROCESSION.
Atnn early hour of the morning the whole
citv was stirring, and the almost innumera-
ble hosts of D.-legal:-s, from all quarters of
the Union, were seen assembling in their
varioits distinct organizations. and afterwards
pursuing their way to the western section of
the citv. to the places designated for the con-
cPflll‘nl‘l0!'I of the Divisions into which the
Grand Procession was divided. Soon after-
wards the members of the different State
Delegations were counted forthe purpose of
dptermining the award of the National Prize
Bmimeg-_ unid the returns were made to the
.-fficers appointed to receive and compart-
them.

.fully. His long career, his position among
lthe distinguished men of the country. all
have indicated him as the man to be nomina-
led. I do r+joi:e with the truest sentiment
that there has not been one dissenting voicc
tn brt-ak the unanituity with which you have
s leclo-d him. It is true thcre- have been
subjects on which we have differed but I
Il‘USl. we have acted on those occasions with
-qual consciousness of tight and with mutual
respect. I know little difference between
my opinions on the great leading questions
and those of that distinguished It’3d€r of the
Whig party. It might have been more be-
conting in me to have refrained from sortie
of thtse remarks. 1 might have simply said
that he isthe nominee of the whigs and that
I am it Whig. (Here a voice was l'lt':1ld,
"yes. Dmiel, and you shall be next Presi-
dent,” which called out additional cheers to
those already so enthusiastically given attbe
honorable gentleman's announcement.) As
for me there can be no more doubt of the
my duty.
With respect to the candidate for the
second office, there must have been prefer
ences. but a wiser or better man in my
judgment,could not be selected. There is no
tnan of purer character. more accessible man-
nt-rs, or more unbending whigprinciple-s,titan

N- w J:-rsey, sir, needs no compliments from
me. “ha all know her character. When
the brave troops of Gen. Washington wan-
dcred over her land. tracking their riakt-d
feel, her patriotic inhabitants shared with
them their food and garments. P-ttriotic
Revolutionary dust lies at Princeton. Trenton
and Monmouth; and I am sure that we only
want an opportunity to pay her it mark of
respect in supporting her favorite son for this
distinguished office.
The duty before us and other \Vhigs is to
restore that ascend:-ncy which circumstances
have impaired. We must. do the work of
1840 over again, and do it so that it will
hold, Present circumstances indicate pros-
perity in the country. We must hold to
what we have got, and carry out what we
failed in accomplishing. We want to give
stability--—to settle questions of national ini-
portance and give them repose. Free hands
and resolute hearts will work out our coun-
try's welfare. if stability be given to the great
questions. Every thing will be prosperous
if we put down this everlasting agitation and
adopt sound conservative Whit! principles.
Mr. Clay will be our next President if we
do our duty. Ifitve fail to do our duty we
shall have Mr. Van Buren again. (At. the
mention of Mr. Van Buren's name there
arose such a cry of ‘No! No!’ that Mr.
Webster had to explain that he only meant
to say that Mr. Van Buren would be elected
if we failed to do our duty.) I would not
speak disrespectfully of any man whom z_t
:arge portion of our fellow citizens have
designated lot‘ their preference; but in this
ht» differs frotn Mr. Clay. that he does not
always express hintsclt very clearly on pub-
lic questions. If Mr Clay is right. he
speaks in such a manner that you can un-
rlt-rstnnrl what he says ;—il be is wrong you
can at least understand him. But I must
confess that I have not studied the English
course Iain to pursue than there can be of
one generation to anothe.-r. With the blus-
stng of Providence, we can preserve it, If
that great work of our fatbt:rs—the noblest
structure ofull time past-—is ever destinpd 1.,
fall. let us see to ll that no one should be
able to ascribe it to “big niisrule, Whig
treachery, or Whig ambition.

A bear attacked the cabin one night and
broke into it. He got up into the loft, lea-

selves. The wife Sf'lZt'(I a poker and aimed

TRIAL OF GOVERNOR DORR.
NE\VPORT, May 4th, I844.
The Court have been occp-tied today with
discussions upon points of law, asto whether
treason against a State is not treason against
the United States---I.do not think the trial
will be completed until Tuesday.
The arguments to-day have been very in-
teresting. Mr. Don himself has taken a
very active part in them.
The opinion here seems to be that Mr.
Dori‘ will be convicted. If so before tlte
close of another week he will be the tenant
of a State Prison, but for how long a time
remains to be seen. '”‘
