[oOMMOUCATED.^j
Having observed that Gen. Green intends to
add to the materials for a history of our coun
try, by an exposure of additional facts relative
to the first Cabinet of Gen. Jackson and its dis
solution, I take this mode of expressing a hope
that he will not fail to give a full and ample ac
count of the system of proscription—of its rise—
its progress, and I wish I could say of its termi
nation. He cannot think beneath his pen, the
history of an act of government, which appear
ed at the time wild and revolting to the most en
lightened of his fellow-citizens," and since has
been followed by such deplorable consequences
to the country, through all the departments of
the Government, particularly the Post, Land,
and Indian Offices.
I will venture to suggest one or two points of
enquiry.
Had the President made up his mind upon
the subject on his first arrival at the seat of Go
vernment? . By many it is thought not.
If not—Who were his advisers to this mea
sure?
Who of his friends were against it?
Was Mr. Van Buren for or against it?
Was Mr. Calhoun for or against it?
After it had commenced, were any of the
members of the first cabinet against it?
. What is the history of the Black Book, and
who formed it?---what the character and object
of it? *
I put these questions to Gen. Green, because 1
believe nobody is more competent to answer
them. *
[commonicated }
The strenuous exertions made to induce the
people of Virginia to stultify themselves, refer
red to in an article in the Alexandria Gazette
of this day, have been observed by the writer
in a recent journey through some counties in
the State. The writer saw a Van Buren in
structor riding about, wheedling, deceiving,
and cajoling people, secretly, underhandedly,
and, in his opinion, meanly. Suppose these at
tempts succeed:—at once the New York tactics
are adopted and the Old Dominion becomes
chained to the car of the Albany Regency.
Where is the Virginian whose cheek does not
redden at the contemplation of such a result?
Will the people of mv native and beloved state
suffer such a degradation? I give yon the hand
of fellowship. Mr. Editor, and pray God to pro
tect Virginia! A Virginian.

As it appears the Jackson party have repre
sented Gen. Jackson as a King on their packs
of cards, I would suggest an additional im
provement. and request that another high oeei
cer of the Government be dressed up as the
Knave. Honors are now “easy” to obtain with
the party; and any office seeker who holds the
King” and “ Knave” in his hand will be sure
to get game.” “ V\ hist.”
About one-half of the regular journeymen
printers of Baltimore are oui of employment—
and, perhaps, nearly four-fifths of those who

publications, which must go on. And in these,
also, considerably less hands are employed than
heretofore.—A7Its' Registcr.
We are told by l)r. Gregory in his admirable
work on the “ Economy of Nature” that die ef
fect produced by the first balloon ascension, in
London, and which he himself witnessed, was
astonishing and almost incredible. “ The beauty
of the gradual ascent.” says lie, ’* united With the
sentiment of terror on account ol the dancer of
the man, and the novelty and grandeur of the
whole ujjpearance. were more than words can
express. A delicate woman was so overcome
with the spectacle, that she died upon the spot;
several fainted, atul the silent admiration <>f the
anxious multitude was beyond any thing lever
