, often fefiitrd tt*a*otiing< of the abler champions of this measure. All that we shall now say ou this head is, that, if the positions assumed in this Ad dress be true, they arc just as applicable to the .State governments as to the Federal. If it be wise policy for the Federal Government to re tect Bank notes and to require specie exclu sively in the payment of its taxes, it cannot be wise in the States to puisne an opposite policy : and. the other hand, it the State governments are content to receive thtir taxes in the notes ol specie paying Hanks, the Federal government is not enti tled to assume higher ground, and to claim '* exclu sive privileges," m this respect. And, after all, to what uses are the monies of the federal government applied? Almost exi lusively to the payment of the salaries of the office-holders!— Aud why should the “ Democrats" be so anxious that this corps of consuming locusts, who arc annually augmenting in number, and living on the fat of the IjiikI, shall he paid lor their labor, (which, in nine cases out often, is but another ii.iuiu lor idleness.) in a currency better than that which our State officers receive—or than that which the Farmer is content to fake for his crops, and the Mechanic for his wages? Why are Federal office holders to be made the ob jeets of such especial solicitude and fivoi ? Why shall the people, who receive bank-notes in pay ment of their debts, he compelled to pay their taxes to the general government hi gold and silver, in or det that the army of office-holders may have a better currency than themselves? It this lie Ih'uvcnv »/, tor one wc shall nevr be a Democrat! \\ e prelei rJiai old-fashioned llepublic itiism, which regaided the .public officer ns the servant ol the people—and acted upon the time honoied maxim, that it is enough that the “ servant he us his master." The Abolition quesliou is treated, in the Ad dress, w ith some ingenuity, and evidently with a dc Jilcralc intention to deceive aud mislead the public. While, to a casual reader, it seems, at a first glance, to cover the whole Southern ground, it really goes no farther than the Northern Anti Slavery < onvoii lions themselves do. It asserts that the federal gov ernment has no right to touch the question of slavery in the States: Arthur Tappati says precisely the same. In relation to slavery in the Distiiet of ('o lunibia, it was veiy clear ‘hat the authors 1 t the \.| dress, coming from differ cut quarters of the Futon would find it mole difficult l -agree. ^ «• l it was ne cessary lo say something on tlic ipiestion. Can it he doubted, if John W. Jones ol \ uginia, or J. I*. Jt iclmrdsoti of South Carolina, or J. I. Mi Kav ol North Cmohna, could h ive had their own way, dial they would iiave stamped an unijnahjutl negative on the right of Congress to meddle with slavery m the District? Hut then there w-re Messrs. Williams, of Maine, and Hotter of Hetmsy Irani.i, and Darker of New Voik. w ho dared not assent to that wt ipiali tied negative—and hence they ti ll us that they “ hold it tobeeUar. hri/un t dispute* that Congress has'no iighl to abolish slan ay in the Distiict"—biilthev do not stop there—then comes in the (jnalily ing phrase —"with (itiac of abuli'hh" il in the States.” In other words, that as < wngress have no tight, even a - cording to the edniKsion ol the most vehement Anti Slavery fan itic,d rrctly to touch the qucMii n ol Slave 's \ in the States, it “ is clear, bey uml dispute,” that they have no more right to do this indirectly, Verily thi^ “ clear beyond di-pute”—not is it di-puted, so far as wc know, by the. most fuiions Abolitionist in the country. The Address, However, on this .subject, we are lice to admit, goes as far as an Addiess fruin Northern Whigs would go—and no farther. And die best evidence ol this is, (hat no Northern W hig paper Iras attacked the doctiin- s of tlie Address upon tins subject—the only assault upon it that vve have seen being made through the New Voik livening Host, the official organ of M r. Van Huren in th.it city, by a writer, who of the editor informs ns, is a “lead ing Deni1 crat” residing in the iuteiim oftlie Sta'r— but vvlm is nevertheless an Abolitionist, as the liven ing Host itself is, thin whom indeed Win. Lloyd (larrison is not more decided in his opinions. W e have exceeded the space which vve intended •to occupy when wc commenced this running com tmentnry upon die \ddrcss of die “Republican” members ol Congress—and, as well for want of room toconliuue our remarks, as because a more -minute criticism of its scvcial parts is deemed unnecessary, we must leave the subject.—at least lor the present. We may possibly hereafter, when vve have nothing •of n ore importance before us, advert to some of its lead ing arguments. WOOING THK HANK. While the Democratic Address to file People Oj the 1".

'I'll K NAVY.—The Globe’s brutal assault upon du* officers of the Navy, w ho it says, with a true Deniociaiic sneer, are actuated by the spirit ol ‘ cobblers and tinkers,” is provoking severe animad version from all quarters.

Shall we g-» back again to gut. boats ? We ate told by tlie Globe that the Naval of ficers display an avaricious spirit, in charging the government for “ extra services.” Such a charge comes with a pretty grace from a man who is in the annual receipt of thousands of dollars from the pub lic treasury, for services not half so arduous or ho nor. ibie as those rendered hy these naval olliceis lor less than as many hundred. And besides, even At torney General Butler, no longct ago than last year, charged for “extra services.” Why may not a naval lieutenant follow so illustrious an example ? (f r* Among other things, the Globe complains that our N iv.il officers arc too fond of the White Sulphur. We understand that there are only four Lieutenants there—three of whom ate extremely sick, and the fourth has just returned from an ardu ous and perilous service. It is thus that the Govern ment joitrn.il slanders the brave defenders of their country. (jy=* “Harry Bluff," in the Richmond Whig, is raking the Globe, on the affairs ol tlie Navy, fore and aft. Harry charges that the very abuses com plained of by the Globe, as existing in the Navy, are the fruits of the mismanagement and favoritism dis played at Washington—such as permitting com manders of fiigates to select their own lieutenants, |,y which favorite juniors arc employed while older lieutenants remain idle on shore conferring the command of squadrons on pel lieutenants, while captains 4»nd masters commandant seek in vain for employment ; and promoting parasites above the heads of deserving officers. As an instance of the latter, lie says: “ Look over the promotions ol last year, and you will there find the name of an officer who has but one companion or associate in the Navy.
