Come warble loud and clear;
'Al:ts! alas! you're weeping .'lll,

MISCELLANY.
EUROPE AND AMERICA—-OLD AND
NEW GOVERL\"'.\'lEN'I‘S.
The Pantry Fpcclalor, an English paper,
the follow ing language:
"We have remarked with fcellngs of dis-
gust, the recent proceedings of the news-
paper press when adverlirrg either to the
people of America or American 'i‘ri'st,t'tutinns.
“Wltr-ther the subject-under consideration
is the Presitlcnt’s Message, the Oregon Tet‘-
ritory, the domestic habits of the people, or
the, ind:-bedness of the States,-the same ran-
corous and bitter feeling has been displayed,
and a corititiual desire tnnnifi-sted to charge
everything of ill’) evil character, upon the
Republican institutions of that country; set-
ting forth by inference the great advantagrs
if monarchy over such a form of government.
We should not now have I‘E‘fcl’l’ed to this
matter had it not been lhal. both liberal and
conservative, both Whig and tory htivejoined
to run down the people of America and their
g.-averuiuent. and that too in a spirit of right
down ribztldry and abuse. It is not our in-
tention to set up the people ofthe transatlan-
tic republie as perfect models of virtue, nor
their institutions as the very best that could
be adopted; but we are prepared toassert,
without contradiction. that they are as a peo-
ple the most prosperous and independent in
the world ; and with all political drawbaclr
are in possession of the btst and cheapest
government the world ever saw. At the
present moment, the whole expenses of the
American Government are a little more than
the civil list ofthe French or English iiion-
nrchs; while no government possesses to
such an extent the blessings of local govern-
ment, that great pallitCIlUm..Qf liberty, cheap-
ly and effectually administered. In the
proof of the prosperity of America, with her
nittch despised republican Institutions, we
need only state the fact that pauperisrn is un-
known there, unless it be in its l]SllfllCaSl1=tl
riianifestation, or in a few ofthe beggar pop-
ulation of Europe, that occasionally find
their way to Boston or New York. Every
man who is able and willing to work ‘can
find employment; land can be bad cheaply
and abundantly; the mineral resources are
inexhaustable; there is no deficiency in
land or water carriage; and with these ele-
ments of prosperity, combined with a cheap
responsible government. there is no wonder
that the working class of America are so
elevated in social condition, and that Ameri-
ca is the home for the suffering and oppress-
ed of all countries. I
Compare the general condition of the Eu-
ropean classes with those ofArnerica. and in
that comparison we shall read the true value
of Republicanism and Monarchy. It is not
the splendor and tinsel of court. the glitter
and parade of an arrogant aristocracy, or in
the purse proud bearing of fortunate mer-
chants, manufacturers und money changers
that we must judge of‘ the happiness and
power ofa nation. No: it is in the plenty
and comfort which adorns the cottage; intbe
respect andjustice bestowed on labor, and in
the cultivation of the general mind,,that we
must read the might and resources of a na-
tion. Compare by these tests the slave pop-
ulation of Europe with the sturdy denizens
of the woods and praries—the descendants of
the heroes who stood beside Washington and
spent their life’s blood in defence oftheir coun-
try and freedom—and we shall see what
Republicanism has done-for America; what
monarchy and its adjunct aristocracy has
failed to do for us. 'l‘be British Constitution

home for millions of Europe’s industrious
sons. whose government could not or would
not longer afford them the necessary means
of subsistence in the land oftlieir birth. We
are no apologists for what is evil in American
society or irt her government. We are no
advocates of negro slavery; we have no
desire that British capit-tl should build canals
and railways for American people without
principle or interest being refunded. These
and other matters we might name are not
defensible; but these qtir-stiorts have been
placed in such an exaggerated light and.treat-
ed with so much ridicule, that we have been
induced to pen the present article to illus-
trate that in governments, be or they who
live in glass houses should be careful how
they throw stones.

A Damper.e—A correspondent of ihe Morn-
ing Courier, writing from Sat-herr:’s Head.
where he has been rusticatirtg, gives the fol-
lowing amusing account of an adventure which
occurred within his hearing whiiethere.
“Upon my arrival at this place, I noticed
a pretty girl’, who from her youthful appear-
ance aiid manners, I supposed to be a can_dt-
date for matrimony. She was accompzmied
by a young brother and a sister rather older
than herself. In the course of the afternoon
a handsome and well dressed man of about
thirty, aligbted from a carriage and entered
the house. Between the two strangers an
instant and friendly recognition took place.
mutual enquiries were made and answered
concering each other’s health. family. &c.—
I left the long separated lovers together, for
such [at once surmised them to be. and
st:-olled along the shore to my favorite seat.
Ihad not remained there many minutes.

directly to the spot where I was, and stood
so near me that there conversation was audi-

intended taking a wife back with you.—-

, VVe.rcquest the attention ofour readers to the
r°ll°“""g Very Interesting Report of a tribunal;
which is now taking place-in t_liis_country. We
have taken it from the \Vetumpka (Ala.) Whig
. for whom it was specially reported. We should.
not atternpt to interfere with the course ofjustico
by publishing any portion ofthe trial", if it was
uot already well known that the Jurybavo
made up their minds to convict the derendmfi ;
Supreme Court of the U. S. ,
The People -of I/te Uniteil State: vs. Janie:
K. a’z'as Lean Jemrng/.
The trial of this case commenced on! the
first day of June last, and will probably, cc,
copy the attention of the court until Novem-
oer ne_xt—the law allowing the jury of the
sovereign people before whom it is to be
tried until that time to make up a verdict...
The dtrfentle-ut was arraignertcd on the day
above mentioned, charged with being it ‘liar’
a ‘coward.’ ti ‘pa.Ztrorm.' an ‘inflated load.’ a
‘dcmagogue,’ a ‘post/tumousi banlling’ of
Tertnr-sst-e Locofocoism, and the (lcscendant,
Ufa 'I_‘ouv, inheriting all the anti-republican
prtnctplt-_s of his graridsire. It being shown
to the satisfaction oftlte Court, that the de-
fendant ltad not yet arrived at the age ofdis-
crettost, the locofoco party, as his pros/rein
mm, were permitted to conduct the defence
for him. The appearance of his ‘next friend
as he arose to plead, was certainly uniqe.--—
He had on a free trade British red coat,——ta-
riff breecltcs of true blue -—a Texas annexa-
tion cloak, half white 5.». half black—subtretis-
urynlias seven league boots—an anti-intcr-
nal improvement hat——a repudiating cravat.
and a wuistcoatsaid to have been bequeathed
to him by Gotzernor Dorr, when he was sen-
tenced io hard labor for life lo the R. Island
Pcnitcnti:it'y. He appeared entirely uncon-
scious of his grotvsque appearance, and to
the usual question answered ‘not guilty’ with
an air of offended dignity that always char-

A Good Reply/.—A gents,-elly dressed
young man went into the house of Dr.
White of Buffalo, under some prt-Lt-nee, and
stole a watch and pencil. A few days after-
wards, however,-the same gentleman culled
again with the same inquiry, and was im-
utediutely recognized by the servant, who
immediately informed Dr. VVhite. The
Doctor went to the -door, and with perfect
sing froid charged the theft upon him—tel-
ling him that as he was seen to take the
articles, it would be useless to deny it—and
that as he appeared to be a respect-rble young
man, and he did not wish to rttin him by
exposure, if he would return the watch and
pencil, he would let the matter drop. The
culprit confessed the theft and promised res-
titution, which was made on accompanying
him to his place of residence. On giving
up the articles, lie wisltcd to know who saw
bitn take them, when he was told by the
Doctor, that the eye of God, who sees every
thing, was upon him.

Losing a. Bet.—A waggish fellow named
Johnson, once bet another in Albany that he
could throw him over the Hudson. The
man was foolish enough to take the bet, and
the stake, $10, was put into the holder's
bands. A large crowd went down- to see
the performance, and Johnson, with great
composure, seized the man by tbenape of
the neck and at another point, and pitched
him six feet into the river, of the wharf.—
The green’un came tip puffing and blowing
and as soon as he could speak, said "You’ve
lost the bet l” “Not by jug full,” said John-
son: “I only wanted to get the lzeft of you-
and I'll throw all day, but I’.d get ‘you over
Question by the counsel for the prosecu-
ttou.
Do you know the accused?
Ans. Ido; I have known him intimately
for years.
Q. Are you in any way related to him ?
A. Only politically. VVe are both mem.
bers of the locofoco party, and support the
principles of that harmonious and interesting
brotherhood.
Q You have heard the indictment read-—
has the defendant ever been guilty to your
knowledge of any of the charges therein spe-
cified 7
A I do not now remember.
Q Did you not in January last write and
publish an article in the Washington Globe.
in which you denounced hint as a coutard?
A Idid.
Q. Upon what did you found tlirttcliurgr.-'3
A Upon the fact that he permitted Mr.
Wise to pull him rUJely by the arm, and
hiss irt his ear, ‘You are the canlemptible tool
nfa pa-rl_7/ l_7/ra.nl,——I mean J/tat as an insult
—-pocket il,’—artd did not resent it.
Q. Did you not, in said letter, contemptu-
ously term him the ‘posthumotts bantling of
Tennessee democracy.’ and compare himto
it ‘toad’ that his injudicious friends were try-
ing to puff‘ into the size of an ox’?
A ldid.
Q Did you not, for these and various oth-
er reasons, denounce him as totally unfit to
be placed upon the ticket as a candidate for
Vice President ? Did you not say that his
name would add no strength to any ticket’?
Did you not ridicule the idea of attempting
to force such a man upon the people of Ten-
nessee, who had twice repudiated him as their
Governor? In short sir, did you not say
llt-tl. with his name upon the ticket, the dent-
ocrats could never carry that state ?
A Idid—and such then was my candid
opinion.
Q Are you still of the same opinion?
A I am not——or at least, I do not so now
declare it.
Q What reason have you for changing
tour opinion .7
A Col. Polk is now the candidate of our
party for the Presidency.
Q True; butdoestbat fact make anything
false that four ntontbs ago was true ?
A Icannot say that it would; but (I'd
thank the Marshall for a drink ofwater) cir-
cumslances alter cases. and it would be trea-
son against the party to say any thing a-
gainst its nominee. -
Q I understand you to say, then, that you
now take back all that you said previous to
the nomination, and recommend Col. Polk
to the Presidency .7
A I act in accordance with the establish-
ed ‘usages of the party.’
0. What are we to understand by that I
A That we go for the nominee, tighl._ or
wrong.
Q Hits your party no principles then, by
which they are governed .7
A Yes sir, our motto is ‘principles, not
men,’ but then our avowed ‘principles’ and
the ‘established usages of the party’ are very
different matters; one is for show, the other
for use.
You can stand aside, sir.
The Hon. Bailie Peyton will now take
the stand. «.
Q. Are you acquainted with the accused 1
A I am; I have lived his neighbor many
years.
Q Do you know any thing of his person-
al courage ?
A I was in Washington city when the al-
fair took place between kimself and Mr.
