What is tins world coming to ! 1 he rollowmg is from the Baltimore Sun, a neu tral paper ; and it is the on'y one which has given the expression quoted; the importance it des rvt. The RICE1MOND WHIG, the o-gan of the whig party in Virginia, acknowledges the United States Bank TO BE UNCONSTITUTIONAL, and says "but how Ions vii! starving men stand out for principles?" But hen is the artie'e from the Sun: Making Opinions tor the People.- . The Chartists in England. -"Do you think it so very wonderful that the Chartists make such a noise about the condi tion of the working classes in England? Look at the facts: "At Liverpool, there are 7,862 cellars, 'dark, damp, dirty, and ill ventilated,' in which live 39,090 of the work ing people : there are also 2,270 courts, in which from two to six families reside, and few of these courts have more than one out I T Hff 1 . f - -w -N tel. in iviancnesier. ot iz.zz worKino- - - c people, 14,960 live in cellars.

We have so often before exposed the hypocrisy of the whig cry of" no reduction of wages,", that we really dicnot think it worth while to notice" the ar tide in the Observer last week. But several have demanded it, and we will once more recur to the subject. On the 27th of March, we published the follow - The Fayetteville Whig Banner before the j, , Election. 46 No Reduction WasTes." So much for profession. . Now for vractiee. Or ders were received this week, from Washington, to redice'one-rft,, or thereabout, the wages of the poor laborers, &e., employed at our arsenal. -Whig promises, in two weeks, lite united States Bank, notes, have fallen 20 per crnt. below par ! . As once a Roman Consul remarked, what a difference ".BE FORE and AFTEK" the election. s iEUThe impudence of Whiggery has asserted that this order was ffiven by Mr Van , Buren. We give it the LIE DIRECT, and have the j roof to back us. : " Ye Gods,' it doth amaze me !" To this the Observer said not a word. It was a few days ago alluded to in another paper, when, for the first !im, the Observer has taken it up. We thought that the above language was strong enough; and convincing enough, , and therefore, intended passing by the " last wordu" of the Observer as we would the idle wind, knowing that they were only brought up to affect the election which has just taken place. . The Observer now says b has his statement from one " cognizant of Jail the facts" which statement goes on to say that " the measure of reduction is a general one," and that the " o'gect was to approxi mate the wages paid by the government, as near as might be practicable, to the waes paid by individ uals," &c.,&c. Very well. ; Now we come to, the remarks of the Observer, He admits that THE ORDER for the reduction, bears date THIRTEEN DAYS after the present administration cume into power, but contends that the whole plan was ma tured ; by Mr, Poinsett, or CqWBomfbrd. For the sake of argument, admit it. We now ask any honest man, if it was not the duty of the new whig Secretary of War, under the professions of his party, as borne on all their banners, and that burdened all thtir speeches, to stop tie execution , of this plan of the ; loco foco '.' Secretary. This is the question. No reduction of wages was one of the great levers with which they worked to. get power s it was their principal weapon during the late party war ; " No reduction of wages' was on every- banner,- and- 4n every whtfi ncwvpgtiHMr.X'raak - Mii"lo.5 ljwiti and no sooner were they in power, thar-they . actu ally Zid reduce the mechanic's wages 50 cents in the day.: We contend that under their professions, even if the order had eoaaariJrfrcmittrerr predeta.s. sors, they should have countermanded it. They promised the mechanic and laborer that their wages ' skould not be reduced thejr first act was to b;eak ' that promise. , . . . But tliat every body saw the mottoes, it would have been denied that such mottoes were ever used, and to make the best of it he can, he says they "had allusion to Senatcr Tappan's and Mr Buchanan's speeches, the former of whom went so far as to de clare that the wages of a common laborer ought to be brought down to 16 cents a day y and the latter that wages in this country ous-ht to be made to cor respond to those in Europe, which are from 3d. to Is. 5d. a day." : We pledge our honor, and our sali vation upon it, that the speeches of neither of the above named gentlemen contained any such lan guage, or any thing that could be tortured into such meaning, and we defy the editor of the Observer to produce it. The Observer took his cue from John Davis, of Massachusetts, for his assertion, but ex perience should have taught him to consider a man's honesty and character for truth, before he reiterates his assertions. taken, has but given additional evidence of the just ness of their claim. We have not the smallest doubt, that in the event of the three commissioners settling the question, the United States will stand under a considerable compromise, and that being the case, the State of Maine will not abide the adjustment, and there's an end we will be just where we were be- tore, and there will always be, untd Great Britain relinquishes her claim, however much Mr Fox may wheedle Mr Webster. The Public Printer Whig Testimony. The dismissal of Blair and Rives as public prin ters has occupied a little public attention, and as Mr Ewing is now in the whig cabinet, bis opinions may have some force. During the 1st session of the 33d Congress, while the Civil and Diplomatic Appropriation bill was under discussion, a Mr Vance, of Ohio, moved an amendment, reducing the salaries of certain public officers 25 per cent., and upon that amendment we find Mr Ewing used the following language : " The public printers, I am happy to say, arc not Executive officers. They hold their office by virtue of a contract, UNDER A LAW WHICH WE HAVE NO POWER OR AUTHORITY TO VIOLATE, because the Constitution provides that contracts cannot be impaired." Will even the whigs now deny that the United States Senate, headed by Mr Clay, Willie P. Man gum, &c, have committed the most outrageous breach of law and honor, that was ever countenan ced by any party ? It is a downright outrage upon the rights of a citizon of the United States. . While upon this subject we may as well state that in this same speech, he strongly advocated the reduction of salaries. He is now in office himself, and has the power and opportunity to suggest to Congress, the propriety of reducing the , salaries of three-fourths of the office-holders in the country. Our life upon it, he never bints such a thing ; and why 7 because At own party are the salaried men now. He argued his point with great earnestness, and brought to his aid a couple of very pretty lines, which we will copy for the refreshment of his me mory. Hear him: 1 It will save tor the country means esseutial to promote objects of general utility ; and it will preserve, what is of much deeper import ance to the country - , " A brave yeomanry, their country's pride, Who, if once destroyed, can never be supplied." Biddleism and. Roguery Synonimous. In reading Mr Lippincott's letter to the stock holders of the Bank of the United States, which uses Mr Biddie very bad, it appears that Mr Bid- die took from the Bank, without ever accounting for it, sums amounting to $793,544 10, $398,544 10 of which was paid on his own receipts. It is no wonder then that he generously give the Bank a few thousand, to help it out of the drag. Wonderful gene osity ! and unprecedented disinter-s'ed iess! !

More Whig Promises. We were promised that all sinecures should be abolished. We can point Mr Secretary Bell to one in tbis town. We have inquired into the duties to be performed by the military store keeper and pay master at the arsenal at this place, and learn that the whole duty that he has to perform monthly, could be done in one day by any smart clerk, and here is Si 600 being paid annually, for what could as well be performed by gome body else now, as it was the first two years the arsenal was commenced. Some may say why did we not say something about this before General Cowan was removed, and a whig pattizan put in his place. We answer, we should never have said any thing about it, had the whigs not promised that they would abolish all sinecures, and this can be proved to be as great a sinecure as ever existed in the Government.

C. April 27 , 1S4I. J Messrs Holmes & Batne : GenlUmen, I see in the Observer a correspon dence, dated Meltonsville, N. C, March 21, 1841, over the name of H. A. Crawford, P. M., at this place, accompanied by a certificate with several respectable names appended to it, intended to screen Mr Crawford from a charge made in the Carolinian of the 20'di February last, of which, he says, I claim " the honor of being the author." The Charge in substance is, that he has no one particular place of keeping his office, and that some of your subscri bers can't get their papers. Now, I propose to state the manner in which the office has been conducted for the last sixteen months, and defy Mr Crawford to contradict my statement. The post master resides about one and a half miles from this plucc, comes here generally on Wed nesday morning and opens the mail, at Dr Johr. B. Cottrell's where he keeps all the records of his office, (such as accounts of mails received, mails sent, &c.) and d' livers a part of the letters and newspapers, and the balance he carries on to lvlr Wilson Cham bers', a private house, in hi neighborhood, not more than two miles and a half f rom another Post Office, and at a place far more inconvenient than where the office was formerly kept. I am not so well acquainted with the management at Mr Chambers' but a certificate from one of your subscribers will explain that matter, and also whether or not there has been any complaint about not getting papers. 1 now repeat that I dare Hugh A. Crawford, to deny the above statement, in his own name. But I think he knows better ; he knows too well that it can be proved, by every man well acquainted with the matter. But I cannot quit Mr Crawford here. I should like for him' to explain undei what clause of the law relating to Post Offices, he finds authority for receiv ing ten (10) numbers of the Log Cabin (a political newspaper, published in the State of New York,) once a week to his address as Post Master and fur nishing it to s-.ich as would take it, free of postage. MrCrawlbrd may deny having done so, and try to get out of V, by charging them with postage hereafter ; but that wont do; ho has made his returns to the de partment, and it'he collects the postage hereafter, he will hardly be at the trouble of" letting them know that he ftiade cut his returns wrong. If Mr Craw ford wants any explanation on t'tis last matter, I will give it ith pleasure, piovidrd he will furnish me with a copy ol ins returns to the Post Office De partment, for the two last quarters of Lut year. I have stated nolhins Jiern. hut !. I tmiij rc Htre 10 oc correct, and what I beluve could be proven if the matter was investigated. 1 do not wish to wrong Mr Crawford wilfully but I think his conduct ouaht to be exposed, a '.id feci willing to aid in doin z so. Yours, respectfully, E. P. HARRELL. I- certify that I have been a subscriber to the North Carolinian, for nearly two tears past, at Meltonsville, Anson county, N. C, and that I have been at great trouble in get ting my papers from the Post Office. At one time, I went to Mr Wilson Chambers' after my papers, three weeks in succession with out getting any ; the fourth time I called there, I got all that was due me. I was informed that the paper came to the office every week, regular. I have frequentlv applied there since for my papers, without getting them. JAMES A. HARRELL. JMeltonsville, April 24, lSll!

By the Charles Downing, Capt. Dent, the Editor of the Georgian has received the fol lowing letter. HERALD OFFICE. St. Augustine, May 5, 1841. j A comparison of the accounts from Florida for the last two months, varied and congratula tory as they have been, will show you that af ter all said, next to nothing has in the interim been accomplished towards closing our Indian troubles. - The Indians are roaming about the coun try iu small parties or families as usual, but never show themselves at any post except it be at Tampa, the General's Head Quarters, or some post in the neighborhood. At these places a few men come in at a time, with some story, which is readily received by credulous ears get plenty of drink some preseuts, and then go out again, buch is the daily routine. All this may, in process of time, bring about so good a feeling among the Indians, that they will come in spontaneously for emi gration, but the people of Florida, anxious to cultivate their lands in. safety, consider it a very slow process at best, and one that will probably result in no good. With every respect for Gen. Armistead and Capt. Page, who now arrange the pend ing negotiations, whose zeal and good inten tions are not to be questioned, I very much fear that they have lost one year for us that the Indians scattered abroad, will harvest tho crops they have planted that snow and cold weather will presently be an excuse for not going to Arkansas this season, and that some time or other, in commencing a winter cam paign, we shall find the enemy better provi ded for us than they were last October. 1 wish not to be a prophet of sorrow to come but it is right that the nation should' be informed that there is little in Florida to indicate an early termination of a puny con test, that has already swallowed up the treasu res which might have defended us against formidable foe. Be, therefore, by no means taken aback, should you soon hear that more men are? wanted, more rations wanted, or more money wanted, or of new campaigns to be prosecuted With vigor. All these things are at the moment quiet as probable as that anv Indian worth the value of a halter will allow himself to come within the range of a noose. Attention, Militia Officers.

The Pennsylvanian of the 6th inst.", furnishes the names of 9 persons, who were engaged in the re cent New York election frauds, that have been re warded by the present administration with office and emolument ! In fact, some of the appointments are such out rages upon decency, that the decent portion of the whigs of Philadelphia have called a meeting to ex press their disapprobation. Sach is the baseness of the leaders of the party in power, that their own fol lowers cannot approve their acts ! Unusually Late. The Vermont Gazette, speaking of the season, says : The season is very backward and little is comparatively done towards ploughing and putting in of seed. The fruit trees, which commonly by this time blossoc, have not yet begun to bud. This in connection with the unexpected prostration under the present ad ministration of all kinds of business, and the umexampled scarcity of money, creates a general gloom and despondency which we have never before witnessed. We are not superstitious, but can any one who believes that the Almighty punished the Israelites, by famine and death, for their unjust complaints, longer doubt the cause of these judgments. i:3:'The Legislature of Pennsylvania has nul lified Governor Porter's veto on the Bank and Re venue Bill, by passing it by a majority of over two thirds. , " : !; -.j : The Candidate. A portion of the democrats of Philadelphia, have formed themselves into an " Old Ironsides Club," and strongly recommend Commodore Charles Stew art, to tne support of the democracy of the Union, for the Presidency. .. Such movements are prema ture and ill-timed. " ' ' Anatomical Models of M. Auzoux. Among the wonderful triumphs of art, are the anatomical models of M. Auzoux repre senting the entire human body with all of its internal organs, in their true positions. On ly three of these figures, as far as we know, have been imported into this country, one be ing in Kentucky, another iu New York, and the third belonging to Professor Dunbar, of the Washington University at Baltimore. We have had the pleasure of examining the latter with admiration. The model, being that of a boy four feet in height, is entirely stripped of the skin and the outer integument. Every extensive layer of muscles is feparafed from the underlying stratum, and can be detached, carrying with it its own bloodvessels and nerves. As the muscles are taken off, the arteries and veins, and all of the great organs of the body are made visible. For instance, in the case of the head, the outer layer of muscles covering the bony cranium can be removed, then the superior part of the skull, thus exhibiting the brain before the eye of the observer, in color and appearance like life. This organ is again divided into sec tions, rendering it easy to study the inmost resources of its structure. In the thorax, the great outer sheathing of muscles being remov ed, a section of the ribs, and sternum or breast bone, is next taken away, exhibiting the lungs and heart, and all the greater vessels carrying the blood through the system. Be low these, the diaphragm, stomach, and in testines, with the liver exhibited, all in their natural places, traversed in all directions by the minute ramifying arteries and veins. In fine, it i$ a most wonderful minute and faith ful display of lhat fearful and delicate machine, the human body. Noxttothe putient thought and infinite ingenuity required to mould each little portion of minute anatomy, the coloring of these parts is a subject of admiration. It has been pronounced by surgeons and others who have had opportunities of seeing the parts in a living and healthy state, when making incisions during surgical operations, to be exquisitely natural and true. To avoid the disgusting process of actual dissection, to render the acquisition of anatomy easy to the student in warm climates, and to give the man of science and letters an opportunity of turning at any moment to the profound re cesses ot cavity or structure in the human body, M. Auzoux has constructed his laborious work. And it is gratifying to learn that his models are not ouly purchased generally by the professors and medical institutions in Eu rope, but that the French government has bought great numbers of them to be placed in public places of instruction, that all classes may have a free access to them.

The manufacture of tea is carried on to a great extent in Great Brit ain, and persons often fancy themselves in dulging in the luxury of sipping the fragrant decoction of the Chinese herb, when perhaps they are swallowing with gusto the ill-flavored juices of the most . common and despised plauts in -Old England. Imagination is a powerful agent in deceiving even intelligent people. We find in a late English paper an account, of a trial of Edward Glover, on a charge for having in his possession 2,000 ponnds of fabricated tea. An officer testified that hav ing received a warrant to search the defend ant's premises, he and two other persons, proceeded there, and discovered an immense quantity of leaves closely resembling China tea. Some of it was in sacks and hampers, and a great portion was lying about for drying, for which purpose the place was fitted up with the necessary stoves and utensils. They im mediately gave notice to Government of the
