1x*' OIO TIMES.—There arc doubtless among our readers some who recollect the cornpl imen ts which JEFFERSON and MADISON were honored by the party that formerly gloried in the "Fed eral" name, »B it does just now in that «T "Whig (Titnc only can show what it will be called next year.) With some slight change in names, the pa wraphs from the federal press during the ad ministration of the patriots, might be quoted tlOw l»y the whig prints, as indicative of their -"unutterable indignation," at the "atrocious •measures" of Jackson and Van liurtn. It will he seen by the following extract from the Connecticut Currant of 1808, tliat Mr. Tao ttias Jefferson, (probably the same old gentle man who nettled the tories oP76, by drafting the Declaration of Iiirlepcnclence,) perpetrated siindry enormities thirty years again, which "RUINED THIS COUNTRY" pretty much after the Van Huren fashion of the present day! With the slight exception that Mr. Jeflerion had no frontier working "specie order," where with to accomplish his ruinous projects, while on the hand Van Buren has not been openly charged with the design 'attributed to Mr. Jef ferson) of ruining the churches, and burning vfp our bibles!

Rep. 3 3 From the Connecticut Courantof April Cili, 180?. The Jeflfersonian Administration have lcdns BLINDFOLD into the most PERILOUS SIT U ATI ON they have brought us to the BRINK OF RUIN by their weak or WORSE FARMERS AND MECHANICS. The aanexed observations on the importance of educations to farmers and mechanics, we take from a late number of the Cultivator, a valuable agricultural publication issued from Albany. We commend the writer,s precepts to the serious nt tention of our readers, feeling confident that they annlike wholesome and important. Land and labor are the legitimate sources of public wealth. The first, to be productive, must be cultivated and the labor ofdoingtliis is abridg ed fcy the culture of the mind, which is to guide its operations. Bui labor not only procures, the com forts and elegancies [of life, but it induce, when nided by an intelligent mind, sober moral habitB, end begets independence of mind as well us of for tune. Idleness, not industry, is the parent of vicc and of riot. This seeks to bring merit down to its own level whereas industry looks for fortune in the profits of its own labor, and for the enjoyment of it in the peace &, quiet of society, and the gener al prosperity of the state and tends, by its exam ple, lo erevate and reform. Neither an intelligent individual, nor a well informed industrious com munity, are prone lo iningle in the vices and tu mults of the day. Henre the more intelligence we infuse into labor, the more abundant will bo its pro ducts—the more honorable its calling—tho inoro numerous its subjects—and the sounder tho con dition of public morals. Knowledge and industry •combined, if not synonimous with virtue, are at J«ast a pretty good indication of worth and useful ness. Should not, than, tho public mind be more enlightened, that virtue may more abound. In.a government constituted liko ours, which confers on all the same political rights, the same facilities for public instruction should bp extended lo all, that all inay alike participate in theseadvan lajptft and become qualified to execute the public trusts. And the propriety of this rule derives par ticular force, when applied to the yeomanry and inechauics of our country, who, from their numeri cal force, must be arbiters ofourpolitical destinies, and our shield from every danger. They are em phatically the sovereingns of the land—their will must[control, be it fo rgood or be it for evil. The char acter of the government must receive its impress from them, &> its piospcrity and happiness be ever £raduaeed by the measure of their intelligence,their industry and their virtue. Attempts of establish repAlican forms of government have failed in Eu rope, and on ojrowti continent, by reason of the ignoranee consequent unimportance of the great Middling classes—of »ho rank and file of popula tion. Learning there h«M bsen restricted to the privileged few—while the many have too often been debased lo aservile condition, or reaorted to crime Cora living. Power and wealth have a tendency to corrupt the higher orders—ignorance and poverty, to dobase the lower classes which have jointly con tributed to annihilate for to render important, the gieat middling classes, which here hold the balance •f power, and who alone can perpetuate our republi can institutions. Those, therefore, who are des tined to wield this power, with us, should be in structed in the right3 and duties of freemen. It is a dictate of interest, as well ns of justice, that our young farmers and mechanics—the fortune umpi re* in all political controversy—the conservators of publicmerala—should be better instructed —that Ihey should be instructed in so much of the sciences as may be useful ia their calling, and as will enable ithem succaifull to competc with the products of Jorelgn labor at our doors—and so much in general knowledge as wilt fit them for the civil duties of eociety—and such a», with good habits, will qualify them for the offices ofjurors, magistrates, legislators and uteful citizens.

Its completeness (and one may almost call it grandeur) leaves nothing to be desired. It borders on the river, a length of nearly 2,500 feet, being fenced in by an iron railing from the quay, and walled in on the other three sides. The area enclosed does not jljfler largdy from that of Boston Common. This is divided into five streets, each occupi ed by single blocks of buildings for vaults the whole distance, with three more immense ones appropriated to brandies in tho rear. The dif ferent species of wines are kept in various streets, which are named, accordingly, Ituo do Champagne, do la Cote d'or, &c. The bu siness is certainly on a great scalc, and the ar rangement exceedingly ingenious. Nearly a million of casks can be comfortably stowed here.

POLITICAL PRIVILKOKS OK WOMEN.—Miss Mar tineau seems disposod to advocate the principle of Alary VVoolstoncroftin rogard lo the political pri vileges of women. She thinks that they ought to be allowed on equal share with men in the govern ment of the country. We bolieve the fair sex in general will not think her for advocating such doc trines. Wc know that they do not desire any such privilego, any more than they desire the privilege of wearing pantaloons, and of riding horseback, wilh the same number of feet on each side of tho saddle. We recollect an interesting debate that took placc, on this subject, a few years since, in one of our village Lyceums. There were present nearly a hundred very highly accomplished and in telligent ladies who took a lively intsrest in the de bate but we could plainly perceivo that thay felt greatly annoyed by the remarks which were made by the advocates of what was called their side of tt,o question. After the dobnte was ended, the queb.'ion was put to vote, and tho ladies were re quested to vote with the society, when thoy unani mously Vi?ted down the argument of the advocate of their parti 1 cipation in the affairs of government. And such was their sincer conviction—and such is the convictio.t of til intelligent women of this community MAINS ELECTION.—Wc have al ready stated that the Whigs had elect ed their candidate in Washington and Handcock District.

Mr. Noyes is clccted, but by what majority cannot be known ttntil all the returns are in.

The Cincinnati Chronicle makes a few re marks on the above, which we fully concur in and as they are appropriate on the present occasion, we adopt them as our own. LA FAYETTE.—The Paris correspondent of A NATIONAL BANK, is urged by some of the the New York Express mentions that the three! whigs with great zeal, as if that were the so nrst volumes of LA FAYETTE'S Memoirs have vereign remedy for the bank disease, that is been published, and that three others will make now afflicting this country. A greater curse could not be brought upon us, scarcely except ing a league of faithless, monopolizing incom petent state institutions. For the government it falls to the lot of but few to have spent so long and so chequered a life as did the venera ted individual to whom it will refer. A pro minent partaker in two great revolutions, and in both identified with the cause of popular freedom, LA FAYETTE ha3 left behind him a name unsullied by any of the vices which not y a s s o i a e e s e v e s w i s e n e s the extent of his abilities, but one opinion those of this distinguished individ ual connect themselves with political events that have controlled the destinies of the old as well as the new world. The same principles that governed the youth of nineteen who aban doned the splendor of a court to become the companion in anns of the heroes of our Revo lution, remained unchanged through a long ex istence, and exhibit their possessor after the lapse of more than half a century, as the un yielding advocate of liberty in his native land.

TUP. BF.AI. VUI.GAMTV OF AMERICA.—Themnii ners of the wealthy classes depend, of course, upon the charactcr of their objects and interest) but they are not, on the whole, so agreeable as those of their less opulent neighbors. The restless os onta tion of such as live for grandeur and show vulgar as I have said, the only vulgarity to be seen li the country. Nothing can exceed the display of it at watering-places. At Rockaway, on Long-Island, saw in one large room, while the company were Jwaiting for dinner, a number ofgroups which would have made a good year's income for a clever cari caturist. If any lady, with an eye and a pencil adequate to the occasion, would sketch the pheno mena of affectation that might he seen in one day in tho piazza, and drawing-room at Rockaway sbe might be a useful censor of manners. But the task would be too full of sorrow and shame for any one with the tiue republican spirit. For tny own part, 1 felt bewildcacd in such company. It wasasil I had baon let down on a kind of debatable land between tho wholly imaginary society of ihc so called fashionnable novels of late years, and the broad sketchos of citizcn-life given by Madame D'Arblay. It was like nothing real. When I saw the young ladies tricked out in the most expensive finery, flirting over the backgammon board, trip ping affectedly across the room, languishing with a sovcnly-dollar cambric handkerchief, starting up in ccstacy at the entrance of a baby the mothers as busy with affectations of another kind, and the brothers sidling hither and thither, now with assi duity and now with nonchalance and no one im parting the refreshment of natural countenance, movement, or tone, I almost doubted whether I was awako. The village scenes that I had witnessed rose up in strong contrast. Mirthful wedding, the wagon-drivers, the offerings of wild flowers to the stranger, the unintermitting, simple courtesy of each to all and it was scarcely credible that there contrasting scenes could both be existing in the same republic.—[Miss Martineau. A SCENE OF TEAMS.—Hon. Henry A. Wise, who should hereafter oe called the great weeper, had a dinner lately given him at Norfolk, at which he made a. speech full of evidenc? that the hilari ties of the occasion had carried him past the laugh ing to the crying point. lie is describing, or at tempting to do so, the expunging scene—at which, ft appears, he was present. Towards the last of description, he became extiemely pathetic. He says—"When I saw old Massachusetts, reaching out her arms and appealing, calling again affec tionately and touchingly, Virginia! Virginia!! Virginia!!!—I WEPT. Old Virginia was not there—there teat no response. I* Vie elder titter of Massachusetts dead—no more? Oh God! it Vir ginia no more?" The salt tears must, at this excrutiatin" mo ment, have rolled down tho cheeks of the maudin revellers, and mingled in the Champaign like brine in rose water.

A STRETCHER.—An assertion was going the rounds of the papers a short time since, that the unusual height of the Vermont boys in stature, was ow ing to their habitnally stretching them selves up in the morningto get a peep at the sun when rising. It is now as serted that one of these young hill gi onts is so tall that he cannot tell when his feet are cold. of thi3 country to be a partner, or to be in any way connected with banks is the extreme of imprudence and folly. Some, while zealously condemning a National Bank, are very tender of the State institutions, and would, apparent ly, unite the government with them, or some portion of them- When all are wrong, why should the government meddle with either? All banks are evils, and a combination of these evils, ccmented by a treasury band, is scarce ly less objectionable than one great central evil. That a National Bank is unconstitutional, all intelligent and reflecting men admit. Will not the same intelligence and reflection come to the conclusion, that State Banks are uncon|by stitutional! The constitution prohibits the States from emitting bills of credit, but the States grant incorporations that do emit them. In many instances the States are large stock holders, and thus indirectly do, what is ex pressly forbioded. Virginia and some other of the States, can scarcely justify their conduct n this particular. And the most unwarranta ble and unjustifiable Relief and Stay laws are passed to shield the batiks insuspending specie payment, and violating their engagements, be cause the States being stockholders, are im pUcatb.1 in swindling the people. Mr. Van Buren nor Mr. Webster will say that they think State Banks constitutional. Why then should the Government be in any way connected with them? It is said that be cause this power has been so long exercised by the States, that it will be impossible to get back on to constitutional ground. So thought Nicholas Biddle and others in relation to a National Bank but they were mistaken. If Government has corrected itself in one respect, let it avoid another and as great a wrong. Let it not employ, or be in any way connected with unconstitutional State Banks. Let us see that those who would rigidly en force the constitution in relation to a National Bank, be equally honest—equally rigid in re gard to the State Banks. Justice forbids that those who condemn the former should become the apologists of the latter. For ourselves, we are no believers in incor porated banks, State or National. We are opposed to the whole system, and opposed to those who favor either.—[Hartfurd Times. ROCHESTER, W. T. THE TOWN OF ROCHESTER is situa ted at the lower end of the Great Bend of the River Des Moines, in Van Bu rcn County—eleven miles from the eastern line, and about ten and a half or eleven from the western line of the county, and about ten from the boun dary line of the State of Missouri. The couny of Van Buren is advantageously situated on the Des Moines river for commercial business, and i9 possessed with a most rich and luxuriant soil.— It is rapidly filling with an industrious enterprtsing population. It is thought by many that the GreatBend, so called, of the Des Moines, furnishes the means for acquiring an immense hydraulic power—it being sixteen miles round, and only two miles across, with a fall in the distance of about thirty-five feet. Rochester contains at present about sixteen dwelling houses,eight families, two physicians, one store, one apothe cary store, and is improving very ra pidly.—[Western Aadventurer. The Legislature of Missississippi has prohibited duelling, and the parties implicated in any instance, are declared to be ineligible to office.

The estate ef the party who falls in the combat is to be exhoncrated from such debts, until the surviving party be first prosecuted to insolvency. The seconds are made subject to inca pacity to hold office, fine and imprison ment. NATH. MACON AND THE U. S. BANK, J In a biographical notice of the laVe Hon. Nathaniel Macon, we find the following in relation to the U. States Bank. "To a National Bank his opposition^ was most inveterate,.not only through his conviction of its unconstitutionali ty, but of its power to control the gov ernment, and to oppress the people. In 1834, during the famous panic de bate in the Senate, the writer of this notice received a letter from Mr. Ma con, whicn, though altogether on pri vate busirtess, contained one line of postscript in these words: "There'is no breach of faith in the removal of the deposits." On another occasion he wrote: "The Romans said Carthage must be destroyed and with the same spirit, and I trust with the same wis dom, I say the Bank must be put down. His convictions of the danger of such an institution were as^ deep and irre pressible as was his faith in the truth of the Bible and he has been heard to express the warmest commendation to President Jackson and to Senator Ben ton for their triumphant victory over the well trained forces of the Bank of the United States. It is thought to be no more than due as well to the fame of Mr. Macon, as to the great body of the democracy, that his opinions of such an institution should be, as it were, thus officially published to the world."
