- A statesman of tho soundest political
sagacity, uncommitted to any party in our
country, whose authority is therefore enti
tled to greater weight, has said:- 44 When

. The present Chief Magistrate; of this
country, as one of a cqmmittcc of the Sen
ate of the United States in 1820,. said :
" The President of the United States n&kcS
and unmakes those who administer the sys

animate their actions in all the elections to

look forward wlieu the public revenue will

RELIGION OF THE EXTRA GLOBE.
. It seems to be evident that many of the
zealous leaders of tho administration arc
men who care but little about those princi
pies of virtue and tho rules of justice,
which, should be the basis of govcrmm-nt,
the guitlo of legislation, and the safeguard
or public liberty. . 1 he late exposure il the
unfortunate' Urownson, has only confirmed
fears tint had long existed in tho breasts of
all virtuous Whigs. Aimer Knei:land, the
lato leader of tins unbelievers in this vicinir
ty, who wns convicted of blusphemy in our
coiirwot justice, is tnc ngtiiariy nominated
candidate for tho Counsellor, in Van Bnren
county, Iowa Territory 5 and R bt. Owen,

Fanny Wright, are subversive ol religion,
morality, nnd social order, is a van Uiircn

Kendall, who has just left the bosom of the

Chnstiansbeheve that tlid'Hible is the in

diflerabout the interpretation of some
passages, they cannot allow this holy book
tobe degraded' to a level with political
documents, even of their own party. I
think the attention pf the religious commu

'Tlw Ncwburz (N.Y. Gazette contains
the following eloquent letter from Benjamin
baton, one of tlie luc-guards ot Uenerai

Tff the descendants ofRevolutionaTy Soldiers.
An old soldier of tlie Continental Army
asks for the last time to sneak to his eoqn.
trymen. Duiiug the Sutleriog Service of
the Revolution, I as in sixteen engage

volunteered under Sullivan to destroy uthc
Six nations of Indians." I was of that Small
company selected as tho Life-guard of Gen.
it aslunglon but two of us are now living.
I was at tlie tough sieeo of York town. Val
ley Forge, M6imouth, and thirteen other
hard battles, and saw Cornwalus surrender
to our -old. General. My service ceased
only with the war. Alter all this hardship

helped to give you, I am pointed at as a
British TpBY yes, a British tobv. I
have said nothing when I have been told so,
but have silently thought that my old Gene.
ral would never have picked out a Tory to
form one of his Lifc-guarda, nor would a
Tory have suffered for you. This abuse
has .been shamefully heaped upon one of
yoUr .tu ipkHejfs, because be is what lie was
whefi the war broke otit, and what Wash-
ington told us we must always bo, when he
shook bands with us as we were all going
home. was a Whig in the -revolution,
have been one ever since, and am one now.
Asl Whig, I enlisted for the tcnofe war,
was in favor with the other Whigs of
Tfionias Jefferson, went with the party for
James Madison, was in favor of the l ist war,
and, tq be consistent io my last vote, must
give it for General Harrison. He is a brave
man, and, was never known, wherever he
has been, to take a penny from his neighbor
or the Government, that Was not fuirly his.
WtHiave trod over the same groundrfight.
ing for. liberty. His father (who was..(Ho
ol the revolution) signed our independence
roll, and then we all went "out together to
fight for it, and we proved it was true.
It really appears to me that this cannot
be tlic same Government that our old sol.
diers hcljicd Washington to put up here.
We fougiit to have a Government as dif
ferent Irom an in Europe as we could
make it. Well, wc done it, 'and until latyly,
thiDgs have n!l gone on smoothly; nnd Eu.
rope wasjiogiiining'to get ashamed of the
wy sli4,4Aiide aki ves of-?ier -subject; - by
making tfiem work for seveih-poor cents a
day, with a slanting army over them to
force tiMan to it. . But, our President now
tells the Peojjlo'tliut things have gone wrong
ever since tlio old war, nnd that tliere are
twcnly.threc in'werable - Governments in
Euroe, where tho kings wear crowns and
the riqh purple, and poor people rags, and
wc mifel' fashio?after them il we want to
be happy and prowperous! We had Eng.
lish laws hero oncc, and they were the best
in Europe7, but wc could'nt stand thetft, and
we puthem uudcr our feet. We used to
worVfor mere nothing thenandweannot
"d'Tt OgaTnrVorking for a few cents a
day may do for slaves, but not for freenn,
whose liberty cost more blood than ever
liberty cost before. Why, the very first
'thing that started the old war, was the stand
ing Army that the king kept quartered on
us. Wctold him that we wanted no sol
diers over us in time of peace, but be refused
to mind us; and-1 saw : Lord Cornwalhs
BUrrcnder up a part of them to honest
George Washington. .Our President now
prwjioscs to Iiavenrtahding force. What?
Bewalrc!
Jellbrson never asked for armed men to
re-elect him or elevate his successor i- Madi
son ffsked for ihein only in time of the late
war, and warned the People when he left his
office, to be careful about keeping soldiers
in time of peace. Our streets are filled
with idle men, who were active laborers
once,
when emnldvmciit was to be had.
The men of enterprise who once employed
them, have been ruined by the Government;
and now these honest, but unemployed In.
borers! arc told D)' the Government, that
when they go to worji again, they must do
it for a few ctfiits a day that labor must lie
, r. 1 ,
as cheap, here, as it is among the slaves of
f'nhn nr tlm Khivra n. Kurunp Amlilliail
nnd ignorance on the part of our Govern,
mcnt, have shut up our shops and -stores,'
scuttled our shipsy filled our streets with
idleness and bankruptcy, and given no en
couragement to the farmer as he looks at
his grain. Are not these things so? You
know they arc ; and i have no motive in
saying what may be false. 1 am too far
advanced for-officcy r.r"anyrthlng clso-but
dentin it will soon be here. My little pen
siou (and thank God for it) will soon stop,
and I go home with the rest of the Life-
guards. 1 here, is one remedy only lor tnc
safety of the country I "have served i Put
other men to stand ut the tiller and round
tlic cables, and you will soon-lie back on
the. old Constitutional track. Gen. Harri
son is honest he never deceived you and
he never lost a battle, and the People won't
let him lose thisrAccepT my .adviccy and
you all have my blessing. My advice is,
that all of you became the Life-guards of
the country, and my blessing is, that your
old age may have less fears for liberty- than
mine. ' -' .

good add prudent husband mnkes a deposit
of the fruits of his labor with his best friend,
and if tyhat friend be not true to him, what
has he to,4iope ; if he does not place confi
dence in the friend of his bosom, where is
he to place it ? A wife acts not for hcrSelt
only, but she is the agent of many she
loves', nnd she is bound to act for their good ,
and not for her own gratification. Her
husband's pood u tlic end' at which she
should aim his approbation is her reward.
Seli-gratification.in dress, or indulgence in
appetite, or more company than his purse
can well entertain, are equally pernicious.
The first addynoity to extravagance, the
second fastens a doctor's bill to a long

tciiijierance, the worst of evils in its train.
