The agrieved has the right to demand redress, and every at tempt on the part of the people, and every connivance en the part of judicial officers to withhold the redress, to impede a speedy ex tension of it, is disorganising in its tendency, dangerous as a precedent, and destructive of the suprcmacyof the laws, to which we must ever look for the protection'of our persons and security of our rights. .

THE JLCVEJLY O.E. Alone, I sit within this grove, Surrounded by its llowers; Alone I am in solitude, Amid its shady bowers I am the kmely one That wande'r'd to this grove, 'To seek its early fading llowers, And listen to the dove. The trees are dress'd in b:aulys robe, And flowers round me grow; Shield me, ye lovely trees! Ye zephyrs round mc blow. The fading rose in beauty blooms, And decorates the grove, But ah! how soon it dies And leaves me wilh the dove. I love the shady grove, And all its fading llowers; I love the little birds that sing Tome in loncsme hours. Ye verdent hills and vallics, Ye oaks and lonely pine, Breathe forth your lonesome song, And make response to mine. B. F. D. Holly Springs, May IS, 1839. OFFICIAL HONESTY. 1.

The leading administration men of Balti more, as our readers are aware, held a cau cus, two or three weeks ago, and decided that several subordinates in the Custom House of that city must be dismissed. They appointed a committee to wait on Mr. Frick. the Collector, and communicate their will to him, but he peremptorily refused to make the removals which they demanded. There upon they held a second caucus and desig nated' a committee to proceed to Washing ton and ask at the hands of the President and Secretary, the removal of Mr. Frick himself. The Baltimore Chronicle of the 1st instant, thus announces the result of the embassy: " The "gentlemen" have triumphed. The Post party has backed the true grit out, and Mr. Frick, his subordinates and clciks, re: main in office. The Democratic Commit tee found no favor at Washington, and the Secretary of the Treasury .whilst in this city on Thursday, walked dovn to the Custom House with the Collector, looked around complacently, upon the neat & well arranged desks, turned over the leaves of the ledgers, pronounced the entries all right and Demo cratic and returned to Washington perfectly satisfied. The morning organ of the party grumbles, while the triumphant afternoon Post is good humored and content. The former threatens Mr Frick in a bold and de cided tone. TPvOUBLE IN JACKSON. We observe a communication in the Mis sissippian of the 3d inst in which it is stated that Mr. R. L. Dixon asserted that he had spit in Gov. McNutt's face, and that lie in tended to insult him whenever he met him. A Mr. A. J. Paxton denies, in the commu nication referred to, that Mr. Dixon offered such an indignity as stated by him, and calls him some very hard names, which Mr. D. will probably call Mr. Paxton to account for. The cause of the difficulty is stated in the communication's follows: "Mr. Dixon's "enmity to Gov. McNutt grew out of the fact that the Goveror had reasons to be rf Vh? he (Dixon) was misusing certain funds belonging to the State, left in the hands ot the late Treasurer, Judge Philips, at the u- 8 decease and promptly communi cated hisjust suspicions to the Legislature at their last session.
