THE EXPERIMENT.
The precious experiment that the President
h trying upon the country, is nowin the full
tide of operation. Some of its effects are visi
ble in mercantile operations, by the^ numerous
failures that are taking place in the commercial
cities—in agriculture, by the low price of the
staples of the country—in the mechanic arts, by
the suspension of business, the discharge of work
men, the failure to pay wages—and how it works
upon the manufacturing interests, may be learn
ed from the following statement, which we copy
from the New York Mercantile Advertiser:
The Dover Manufacturing Company, at Do
ver, New Hampshire, have stopped one mill of
0,000 spindles, which employed 250 hands, and
manufactured 300,000 lbs. of cotton per annum.
The New Market Manufacturing Company,
one mill of 4,000 spindles, and as they make
coarse goods, they have discharged but 150
hands, though they consumed 200,000 lbs. of
cotton.
Nashua Manufacturing Company, one mill,
5,000 spindles, 250 hands, consumed 300,000 lbs.
of cotton.
Great Falls Manufacturing Company have
{riven orders to stop their WOOLLEN MILL,
which employed 200 hands, and consumed va
lue on an average 75 per cent.—300.000 lbs. of
wool, about two thirds of which was American.
Dedham Woollen Mill has discharged 200
hands, and lessened their manufacture 300,000
lbs. of wool, principally American.
Present result of the Experiment, on four ma
nufacturing establishments, 1,100 hands dis
charged, 800,000 lbs. of cotton and 600,000 lbs.
of wool less consumed.
Here is a delightful spectacle for all interested
to look at’. Such grand results from such a
grand Experiment, ought certainly to make
those concerned in carrying it on vastly pleased
with themselves as well* as the operation.
“ THE PARTY.”
It has become fashionable, of late, when a
memorial is presented to Congress, on any sub
ject which refei^ to the state of the country, for
some member of the party to rise in his place,
and exclaim, “ Why! that conies from the oppo
nents of General Jackson! What have we to do
with that?”
Mr. Reed, of Mass., well replied to remarks
of this kind in the House of Representatives on
Monday last. He said:
“But the gentleman says that no Jackson men
have signed the memorial (as I understood him.)
And has it come to this? Is the President of the
f nited States the President of the Jackson par
ty only? Are this House under the control of
such principles? I confess 1 have felt somewhat
fortified at hearing memorials, begin by stat
ing: At a Jackson meeting, or a meeting with
distinction of parties: as if such ^meeting
*ndsuch a memorial would receive more favor
in the eyes of Congress. Has it come to this,
'that the free, independent citizens of the United
States must declare that they are Jackson men,
•°gain a favorab’e hearing in this House, and
that, too, when they are pouring out their com
Ptoints, describing their distress, and praying
their rulers to grant relief? I trust not. No,
Mr. Speaker, party spirit has not yet sunk us to
taut state of miserable degradation, that it has
peorae necessary for American citizens to be
to any party, to entitle them to the conside
j^tion and regard of their Representatives on
tins floor.” w
MR. RIVES.
The recent course of this gentleman does no
‘vesshonor to his principles as a politician than
‘•'feelings as a man. He goes into retirement,
^frying with him, as we believe, the admira
ll0a °f all parties.
The last Richmond papers contain his letter
resignation, addressed to the General As
sembly, which is expressed in nearly similar
ariguage to his last speech in the Senate. The
successor to Mr. Rives was to have been elected
3 A\ ednesday last.
DAVID CROCKETT.
‘ u Crockett “ went the figure” in the House
rableNatives on Monday, when conside
fro Jecbon was made to printing a petition
Thmh^CnnS^Van^a’ °n deposite business,
and* h°norabie gentleman’s speech was “short
w SWeeV> and in the words following, to wit:
tahthtfi3"1 the on|y Person from Tennes
'stratian . i?ouse.who am °PPosed to the admin
\ may -a’, il?p® 1 ma>’ get a few words in; that
' are my own notions o» these
matters.—Sir, I think the member from New
York (Mr. Turrill) who has just spoke, has
been a little testy in his objections; he talks
much about this, as if it was a great matter.—
Sir, are we to stick at such trifles as a few dol
lars in the printing a matter so unimportant. It
seems, sir, tome to be something like loading a
twenty-four pounder to shoot a flea. Sir, is it
not so. We are spending 3 or 4000 dollars in
discussingthe printing of a matter that perhaps
after all will not be 20 cost. But, sir, this is re
trenchment; but it is the old rule for retrench
ing. I love, sir, to see the petitioners come here,
and my life on it, sir, they will come; aye, and
from Indiana, for all that we hear to contrary;
and yet from my own State, every day my let
ters tell me they wish this question settled.
“ They know very well in my district the char
acter of the man; who, when he takes any thing
into his head, will carry it into effect. They 1
know how I should act in this Bank business, '
for I told them, before I was elected, how 1 should
vote—that 1 would recharter the Bank, and res
tore the deposites. Sir, I get letters every day ■
from all parts, which tell me these acts are dis-1
approbated. The question is now whether we
shall be under the old and happy state of things, |
or have a despot. Sir, the people have a right j
to tell their grievances, and sir, I tell you they
must not be refused—I can’t stand it longer—I
won’t.”
We think there are a great many people, who,
like the honorable gentleman, can’t stand this
state of things much longer—and like him, too,
“they won’t.’ Go ahead!
The proceedings of the Mechanics in
New York will attract great attention. The Re
port of their Conmittee adds force to the Report
of the Philadelphia Committee.
There was a great meeting of the Building
Mechanics of Philadelphia last Monday, on the
state of the country. Strong resolutions were j
passed. 3000 persons were present. The spir

jl/r. Editor—Although I have long been of
opinion that the Administration was controlled
by an irresponsible cabal, yet, I confess I have
read Mr. Duane’s third letter with amazement;
for I did not believe that they could have the
effrontery to act in the manner described by
Mr. Duane. It will be in vain for the Giobe and
the collar presses to deny his statement, as he
is known to be a man of truth and integrity.—
Is there then any thing more wanting to prove,
that the Government of this Republic is in the
hands of an unprincipled and corrupt crew, and
that the high places of the nation are filled by
men unworthy of them? Let us talk no more
of Mr. Taney. He is, in my opinion, the “ soul
, of honor” compared with the other members
of the Administration.
He did but carry into execution a mea
sure which he approved: they have support
ed a measure which they disapproved, by
pll the influence to be derived from their names
and stations. In supporting the measure, they
have supported the authors of it. And who, let
me ask, are the authors of it? Not Gen. Jack
son; but the men who control him and all the
powers of the Executive, viz: Amos Kendall and
Reuben M. Whitney—the former, by his own
showing, “ an ingratethe betrayer of his friend
and patron; the latter, by the shewing of a com
mittee of Congress, proven to have been guilty
of conduct which I shall not designate. Men
who can submit to hold office under such cir
cumstances, must be wedded to the emoluments
of office; for honor there is none.
If this developement does not open the eyes of
the people, then are they, indeed, more blind
more infatuated—than were the children of Is
rael, when (to quote the favorite text of the
learned Rev. Dr. Jackson) “ they fell down and ,
worshipped the golden calP.” I

Mr. Snowden:— I observe among the list of
candidates for members of the next General As
sembly of this State, the name of a gentleman
who once resided in your town, and who, it is ]
stated, at this time holds a commission as an of
ficer in the Militia of the District of Columbia
from the United States. If this be so, the ques
tion is respectfully asked, whether he is, under
an act of Virginia passed in 1799, eligible?—
That act renders ineligible all persons who hold j
any office or place, commission or appointment*
whatsoever, civil or military, whether any emo

a matter the candidate and the voters ought to

100 DOLLARS REWARD.
ON Tuesday morning, between Fredericks
burg and my plantation, in the upper end
of Stafford, a NEGRO MAN, and the MARE
on which he was riding, both belonging to me,
were stolen by a man who seems to have been
astranger in this part of the country. When
seen in possession of the Slave and of the Mare,
fie was inquiring his way to Stafford Court
House. lie is described to me as a person be
tween fifty and sixty years of age, with re
markably white hair; his stature stout and welt
set. He wore a brownish colored stuff cloak.
The negro is between twenty-five and thirty
years of age, as well as is remembered; stout ir
his person, and about five feet ten or eleven in
ches high: has a drawling manner of talking,
