But again we say: vom what Federalism was in 1787, Judge jrom what it is now. The political opinions of Gouverneur Morris, (one of the great leaders of Federalism,) as ex tracted from Mr. Madison's work above men tioned. Gouverneur Morris, sjeaking of the second branch in the Executive Department, or the Senate, pacs 1013-19, 20, says: , "One interest must be opposed to another interest- vices as they exist, must be turned against oh nthf-r. In the second place, it must have great must nave the aristocratic t , . -. 1 1. . 1. . ,1 . kit t-nirif- it must love iu iuu nuuuu puuc.

It will then do wrong, it will be said. He believed so: he hoped so. The rich will strive to establish their dominion and ens'ave the rest They always did. They always will. The pro per security against thein, is to form them into a scparat-J interest." A-airi: "He contended that the executive should appoint the Senate, and fill up the vacancies:" Aaia: "He did not hesitate to say, that loaves and fishes must bribe the demagogues. They must be made to expect higher offices under the general than tinder the state governments. A Senate for life will be a noble bait." Airain: pa?e 1030, "State attachments, and state importance, have been the bane of this country. AVe can not annihilate, but we may perhaps take out the tteth of the serpents." Asain: page 1033, on the proposition for fixing the representation in the first branch at "one ruern b r r every forty thousand inhabitants," "he thought property ought to be taken into the esti HW'e! as well as the number of inhabitants, Life and lberty were generally said to be of more value than propertv. An accurate view of the matter would, nevertheless, prove that property was the main object of society." Again: paga 1043, "As to the alarm sounded, of an aristocracy, his creed was, that there never iims, nor ever will be, a civilized society without an ari.-tocrney. His endeavor was, to keep it as much as possible from doing mischief." Aiain: page 1 125, upon a motion that the Exec utive should hold his office during behavionr, "he expressed great pleasue in hearing it. This was t:i- way to get a good uovcrnmenf. ne was ndiflerrnt how the Executive should be chosen, provided lie held his place by this tenure." A Jams ana riam.unn, tnourn personally mimic al, represented truly the principles and feelings of the eniire Federal party the influence of the latter predominating. The speeches and writinssof that tim"! and occasion are interspersea with abundant evidi ncei that there was then a party, powerful in ta'ents, if not in numbers, which viewed a Govern ment purely popular with the utmost distrust, and looked forward to the establishment of the British system of Kings, Lords and Commons, as the ultimate resort of their country. and clothing. A piaster is about 5 shillings sterling, making the pay per month, from $18 to $36. Mr. Olin, perhaps, did not stop at Alexandria. Will the Observer publish this, in explanation of his article of this week? J Ux-Uovernor Everet (whig) is to address his friends in Boston,' at a meeting, on the 23d of June next, as he is soon to leave this country for Europe. His party nominated him for Go vernor, but he declines being again beaten by Governor Morris, the present Democratic Gov ernor elect. Everet prefers a ramble in the sunny borders of France and Italy, to another contest for office, against the Democracy of old Massachusetts. Is not ihisasigTi in Webster's and Adams' State? Might not a certain worthy whig ex -functionary in the "Old North" profit by Mr. Everet's example? Electioneering in the swamps of Bladen Columbus and Brunswick, will not be as agreeable in our hot climate next August, as the saloons in Philadelphia, the verandas, at the Virginia and Saratoga Springs, and the sublime thunderings cf the cataract at Niagara, to say nothing of the splendid scenes on the St: Lawrence, about Montreal. "Caesar had his Brutus Charles the 1st, his CromweJTnd, "Charles the bthof Bladen,") may he profit by their example!" A Democratic town meeting was called at Philadelphia, for Monday last. The call was signed by FIVE THOUSAND Republicans, favorable to Mr. Van Buren for the Presidency and Col. Richard M. Johnson for the Vice Presidency. So we go in the great Key Stone State. The Federalists commenced the calling of large meetings of their party at Baltimore and Columbus, for the purpose of keeping up their spirits, by herding together. This is the first time such mob-law efforts have been resorted to in our free country. We predict that blood-shed will be the result of this degrading plan of elec tioneering, before next November. If this should be the case, it will be remember ed that the federalists introduced the vile prac tice; first at Columbus, and next at Baltimore. The Observer says something about what we know' of bis politics. Now, the truth is, we knijw" nothing of the Editor's present politics, nor can e judged them, except from the company he keeps. That company being of l he New Eng land, Daniel Webster, high tariff federal cast; and the Observer lately avowing that he was "no Demo crat" V e "know-" no other name to give him man that of "federalist." Any other political party, than either that of democrat, or that of federalist, (upon the principles that ought to divide us in this coun try,) we "know" nothing about, and will never consent to recognize. Now, the "log cabin," or '-hard cider" party is in principle) a nonentity, and we cant consent to do the Observer the great disrespect of calling him a 'log cabin" or "hard cider" politician. The veteran Editor is too much a sage in politics, to suffer such degradation at our hands. No, no! Mr. Editor Fedralist.' Federalist is the proper designation for ah the "no Democrat" people. It is nomen general- ssimum forthe opposition, and besides it i3 ancient and venerable, and (we must add) respectable, where those who act out its old principles, are honest enough not to "deny the faith." The Observer was once a Democrat we "know," and that is all we "know" of him that is good, po-liticilly. Rate of Wages in Har il Money Countries. Doctor Olin the eminent Methodist preacher, of Virginia, now travelling in the old world, in a letter published in the Christian Advocate of 1st of May, oated at Cairo, says, the pay (per uay) of an ordinary laborer is five cents. A h'Wttnan jrets seven or eight, always furnishing Hansen with loocl. Observer. Why did the Observer keep back the further remarks of Mr. Olin on this subject? They were certainly necessary, if the Observer did not wish to mislead his readers. In the same letter of Mr. Olin's, from which the Observer takes the above, one sided ex tracr, Mr. Olin says, "as to the people, they are un questionably," the most degraded human beings, Utave ever seen. Filthy, indolent, dishonest and cowardly, it -would be difficult to say of what vices they are blameless' The Observer would think it a bad bargain 1(1 hire such rascals, even at five cents a day. out Mr. Olin further says, in the letter, fortunately, the kindness of nature, does every "nng for a race, who will do nothing, and per Iaps can do nothing for themselves. Food is 'irprisingly cheap, and a man lives well, that is to Sav. hf trfta n nlpnfw fif hppafl. with a rplish J SS,--- j - , -t f curds, onions, or something1 else, for about 'wo and a half cents per diem" :J The Observer often talks about nrintino- the whole truth' vvhv o . Was this part of the truth kept back? But be sides this, the Observer knows, or ouwht to , , 0 Know, that Egypt is ruled by a Vice Roy, who 18 a perfect despot, there being no law in that f-ouniryvbut his will.

Why did not the Observ er mention this circumstance as a part of the But, besides all this, we think Mr. Olin must 0(1 mistaken. We have just read an account by pother traveller, Mr. Wilde, who states, that )n the navy yard at Alexandria, (in-Egypt,) the j at the workmen there employed, is, from Ween to thirty piasters per month, besides food One of the Observer's Signs. A writer from Anson says "hard cider" will, no doubt, prove an active and efficient purga tive, in removing the drea-s of loco-focoism. in his part of the country." Do not the five hun dred Republicans of Anson, who supported their worthy countyman, Mr. Morris, feel the slang of this scribbler, an insult upon their understand- ngs? Are these worthy gentlemen content to figure in the Federal prints as miserable gulls and dupes, to be changed from their noble pusi- ion by a gourd of "hard cider?" These five hundred good farmers of Anson, too, are only the "dre"s of kwo-focoism." Go on with the 'cider" game, Messrs. Feds, you will see whe ther honorable men are to be changed by pub lishing SUCh insulting Uuuts upon tt ic sense. Another. Eight thousand friends of Harrison assembled at St. Louis! And there were ladies there too! Mirabile. dictu! Who ever heard the like? What did they assemble for? "To show their preference for Harrison," says the Oberver. He hid better have said "to drink hard cider."' For a more disgusting scene of buffoonery, and ibscene drunkenness, we have not seen, than ia given of this same meeting by the Missouri Argus, published at St. Louis. No wonder the Observer savs so little of this meeting. Where are its patriotic resolutions, and sensible, frank, manly addresses to the people.' where their complaints f one single grievance or their de claration of one single principle of action in their party? Not one! They dare not declare their principles. Like Harrison, they foilow the lead of the Harrisburg Convention, and publish not one principle for the "public eye." All this rout of people mustered together, not calmly and dispassionately to complain of any orievance done them, and set forth what they wish done for relief, but simply, to cry out hard cider" and get drunk on "hard cider.'' Muster your mobs Federalism your silk-stocking, bank-bought, counter-hopping, mobs to intimidate the people: Shout vour "hard cider" shouts, and get drunk on it. The plain, manly good sense of the whole American people, will revolt at such silly pageants, and show its contempt for them at the polls. Real Estate in New York. Noah speaking of the present price of Houses and Lots in New York says "the fall of prices therefore is general, and the question is, fCZJhas not the rise, been sudden and fictitious?" Let every roan, every where, ask himself the same question. Has not propeity had a sudden and unnatural rise, by the extravagant issues of paper money? And does the fall amount to any thing more, than that prices are coming aown to their natural level. To the prudent, careful and industrious, this fall of prices is a benefit. To the imprudent, careless, lazy, and extravagant alone, does it bring calamity and distress, the natural fruits of their own folly, Children at play, when they throw up a ball, cry out "what goes up, must come down." But grown children, playing at what they call the "credit sys tem," throw up their balls, and cry out "what goes up will never comedown." The little boys have certainly the best of it, both in the common sense and philosophy of the matter. the very strictest construction of the Constitu tion. ' . J; ' j-' y Such exceptions, such petty captious objec tions show that Mr. Van Buren's enemies must be hard run. They are the very highest com mendatiou of a noble patriots public course. ; We published, some two months ago proof posi tive from "the Old Hickory" printed in Springfield (Illinois,) that the Abolitionists, before the Harris burg Convention met, directed circulars to "leading whigs" in every State in the Union, in favor of nominating General Harrison to the Presidency. This proof was also published in other democratic papers, in this, and other States. We then en quired, if any whig in our own State, or any dele gate to the Hrrisburg Convention, had received such a circular, or knew of such circular being sent? ICpLet the public v take notice, that this charge has never been denied by any wiug paper Let every slave holder and voter in the State, ob servet hat no reply from any quarter haa been made to these reasonable enquiries! Can there be stronger proof, that Harrison was re commended by the Abolitionists, and that Southern delegates aided these fanatics in bringing out their candidate! The silence of these federalists on this subject, admits, mat they formed a coalition with the Abolitionists, to bring out Harrison for the Presidency! This is ten fold worse than tbe "com bination vile, between the puritan and the black leg." The federalists in Congress made a great ado about the extravagance of the government in keep ing a Mint at N. Orleans and another in the gold region in North Carolina. Mr. Charles Shepherd of Newborn District, stopped the mouths of these grurrblers, by intimating, that if any of these es tablishments were discontinued, it would be most advisable to break up the one at Philadelphia, in asmuch, as th largest amount of specie, wa3 now imported to New Orleans, and the rich mines in the western part of our State, offered advantages for coining at Charlotte which Philadelphia cannot boast of. The friends of the "great regulator," thought this looked like the "lawyers bull goring the far mers ox" and said no mere about it. We received the first number of Mr. Fisks pa per the Political Reformer, published at Washing ton, Richmond and Portsmouth Va. It is to cost only FIFTY CENTS, from the receipt of the 1st number to the Presidential election in November. We did not publish the Prospectus, but we set to work to get subscribers, and send on the money. Forty-live names with the money, went lrom Fay ctteville. Let our friends, who wi sh to meet the slanders of the opposition with this spirited and able paper, in all parts of the country, send on their names. Let them also procure the Extra Globe, edited by Amos Kendall, and Mr. Richie's Crisis. With these three weapons in their hands, they will not need "working tools and arms for muster" against their enemies. Every arrival in New York brings immense numbers of steerage passengers from the old coun tries. Noah advises them to so into the country. "until a change takes place." He dreads the votes of these numerous Irish natriofs and nthrs. frr Van Buren, if they stav with their brother demo crats in the city, and hence, would like to see them an snipped on up the lakes to Wisconsin and Iowa. Mr. M tional Bank. We "The executive is a component part of the Legislative power." This expression of Mr. Van Buren in his message, the Observer thinks it is a mark of Federalism. Now, the Legisla tive power, means the power to enact laws. Does any law passed by Congress go into ef fect, unless the President approves and signs it, or in case he disapproves it, that two thirds Of Congress re-enact it. The President's approval, then is a legislative act. ia the strictest sense of the term. What Federalism is there in this? It comports with General Saunders is against it. like to see this. It is placing the true question be fore the people. W hy are not all Morehead's friends honest enough to speak out as he does? Mr. Morehead was called out on this subject by Judge Saunders at Chatham. He could not keep dark as Harrison and the log cabins do. General S. proposed to Mr. M. that he S. should write to Harrison, and Mr. M. to Van Buren to ask their opinions on the leading questions that the peo ple wisn to De miormea about. itMVir. Morehead would not go it. Stick a pin here. Messrs. Guieu and Thompson, propose to publish a new paper, from the 6th of June next to the 31st ol October, at SI per copv, in the city of Aii2iista Georgia, to be called the OU l rlLRNER. It sustains the cause of the Democracy. It will no doubt be ably conducted. To Solomon B. Council, Esq. Chairman of the late Whig meeting. Sir, 1 see vnu have placed my name on a Committee of One Hundred.

The April and May numbers (both in one) of the Democratic Review are before us, and we rejoice that the late fire from which the publish ers were great sufferers, has not prevented these enterprizing and talented laborers for the cause of pute Democratic principles, from giving the public their usual monthly feast, of political and choice miscellaneous matter ,; The article entitled "France, its King, Court and Government," of itself, makes the number for these two months, a treasure worth a whole years subscription. Our Democratic friends should not neglect to send on to Washington and subscribe for this work. It is published monthly at 85 per annum,. by S. D. Longtree. Five copies for $20 and thirteen copies for $50. Sid Hamed Ben Haitian, the commander of the first Arab vessel ever in the harbor at New York, will take home with him, the fine horses brought as a present, from his government to our President. It is against the usage of our government, for the President to receive such donations. Noah thinks, that this Arab captain might save himself the trouble of taking these "Arab steeds" back, so long a voyage, by distributing them "judiciously" amongst some of the "true sovereigns" in this country. By the word "ju diciously" the Major must allude to a distribu tion amongst the "log cabin" editors. He cant mean loco-foco "sovereigns" that would be to acknowledge the people capable of self govern ment. Our Rabbi, Mordecai, Ben Mannasseh of the Star, is, no doubt, entirely disinterested, in this acknowledgement of sovereignty in the people. Thank you Major. We are grateful. It is only, however, "a kingdom," you offer "for a horse." If captain Hamed Ben Hamen now, were a democrat, he would "thank you, Jew, for that word" and give the steed. Wilde, in his yachtling expedition in the Me diterranean, says, the Egyptian fleet, surpasses in numbers and appearance, what he had ex pected to see. Moharaed Ali, Vice Roy of Egypt, has ten ships of one hundred guns, in complete order, and built upon the best Europe an models besides these line of battle ships, he has seven frigates, one armed steamer, four cor vettes, eight brigs and other small craft. Wrilde says, so far as the vessels go, they are, I suspect, rather an over match for the Sultan's fleet. There is an admirably regulated navy yard at Alexandria. The workmen are, almost ali native Egyptains, the head builders being edu cated in their art, in England, France and other countries of Europe. There is also a Medical School and Hospital under the same root; in the school there are three hundred scholars. They have a laboratory and good chemical apparatus, with a dissecting room. This last was introduced by the Vice Roy with great difficulty, on account of the Mahom- me tan prejudice asrainst even touching dead twlii.w Vln. ...M.J A", . j ..f...J assent at first, to this cutting up of human bo dies, and only yielded on the intimation fron: their master, that if they did not comply, he would have their own bodies stretched upon the dissecting tables, for the first experiments in anatomy.

Blain Boundary Question. Correspondence of the Journal of Commerce. Washington, May 19. It has been rumored here, as well as elsewhere, that the British Government has offered us a compro mise of the Boundary Question, i e to take the right ot way and pay Maine for it, thereby conced ing our rights and leaving no ground for controver sy on the point of honor. The report, coming as it did from newspapers on the Ministerial side in Kngland, was believed here; but it is known now that no such proposition, and, in fact, no proposi tion at all has reached our Government. It is pos sible, and I think, probable, that Mr. Fox has re ceived some instructions to offer such a compromise, but he has as yet been silent about it. It turns out that the exploring Commissioners, Colonel Mudge and Mr. Featherstonhaugh, have made a report rather favorable than otherwise to the British pretensions.
