The recent loss of the Peacock has revived in thf public mind a rerolleclioa of the melancholy r.i of tha Huraet. and of the memorabut -battle m which the two vessels bee ring those na-n were engaged. But we perceive that sevsral ui our eotewporBriee have fallen into the error ol sup poving the Peacock lost in the HJolumbia river to b the same which waa captured- by the Hornet, This is s great mistake The day on which those -mill tnt into aciioo waa the last one that ever saw the saila of the Peacock unfurled to the wind. It cannot be disagreeable to either of our cotemporsnes who bsve fallen into this mistske, to have tbat brilliant passage of our naval history briefly recapitulated. On the twenty U-irth dsy of February, 181S, the Hornet, under the command of Captain Law rence, was cruising off Demarar , when she hove in sight vf the Peacock, a British brig of war carrying the esine number of guns s herself. Both vessels immediately bore down with a view of giving battle, eaeh one manoeuvring to keep the winftV At twemf five minute pant five o'clock in tin- afternoon ihev ttasaed each other within pistol shot, and both delivered their broad-sides simulta oooualy aa their guns bor and the battle was thus . commenced . -No sooner bud they passed than the Peacock put her helm hard up with- the view of wearing short round across me stern 01 me norn-m and raking her, but the latter performed the same V manoeuvre and was too quick for her antagonist. She came down upon the quarter of the Peacock in a perfect blasw of fire, and immediately closed with her.; Both, veswls nw , fought with great intrepidity and withthe inmost fury. . But the superior gunuery snd rspid handling of the Hornet soon made her triumphant. At lorty minutes peat five, being wit fitteon minute from the timo the first guo was firvd, the Peacock struck her colors, and not onlv so, but hoisted them in the fore rig ging union down, jn token of diatre-s. . Lieutenant Shubrick, who waa sent to lake possession of her, immediately returned and reported thal ahe was " sinking. Every possible' Mnrtiori wai nowTnade by the officers and men on board the' Hornet, to rewim from a waterv .grave Ihe antagonist againat whom they had just been engaged in bloody aud mortnl combat. Moat ol those whft had survived the battle were gA.MrleJhL,kjtaJwl yetshe wenl down so auddoiily that nine of her men, together ' with three-American sailors who wore endeavoring to save them, were carried with her and aunk to rhw no mor.

The impartiality of walking into a slough, because inen'difTer as to its precise depth, is by no mean eofrfmeodable. But let ua see how fax Mr. Tyler's Admioistra. tioa esq justly complain vt being judged belbrs.' hand, at least by Ihe Democrstic party. i"he Pre-Mdeqt 'recommended and signed the Bankrupt Lw, and we are now giving it a fair trial," ta our lasting disgrace, as a people-'professme to be governed by justice. It prove 10 be what it I p. peered, a gross and flagrant Violation of pnvata rignu, a s-mugs to wipe out debts, snd a law 10 aid the distribution of insolvent estates. Tbe President recommended and approved the Distribution Bill, and wo are giving that a "fair trials .Since its enactment, the credit of the States bss fallen as never before, till Ihe citizens of few of them' can look ' upoo a Bond of their own State without blushing for its disgrace. The (oan au thorized by Congress lies deed in the market, tha Treasury notes are selling at a discount, ths Treasury is empty of every thing but unpaid and of clamorous creditors, tha drafts of tbe Govern, roeot have been dishonored . in the face of the world. We think we have given M a fair tnaro the Distribution Lw, nd need not wail longer in order to pass judgement upoo il as oue of, the wretchedeei tricks of shuffling, senseless sham. . less corrupt legislation ever palmed upon a peo ple. . - The President hj recommended the most rigid economy in the expenditures of the Government, , and yet in the midst ot all this accumulation of disaster and difhrufty; the' luvs ofCfdii, ihe die tre-w of c ottin-erce, tbs waste ol revenue, bis Cab inet have, with one accord, called for not only an increevtd expendrture in bearly every branch of service, bur for millions to board up as a " cod tingeni (corruption) lund," and (or millions more to sntiiipate distant and dulnful wants, by enter, ing a a copartner into all tho Rail Road Compa. niea of the Union. We have, then, givtjn a tote. ably fair trial n to the " rigid economy ' mea sure ot the Administration, and we find, beyoml doubt, tnai the phrase has beea ued by mistake. for " wa-te and tmprovidi ncs." W cannot wait three yeaia in order to paM judgment upon such a system ; -tha car of the Gotsmnietit is ratilinir down the road lo rum too openly and wif'i lo allow of any great exiei.iiitiire of bows' and flout ishes io announcing the impending crash. We can sslely appeal to the past for proof thai the Democratic party hirve neither judged the Ad ministration of .Mr. Tyler prematurely nor harshly -that they have continually tested it by their principles, and when lh-y have been compelled to condemn, have done so- with reluctance and ever with moderation. But we demand that in the necey. sities of the Government there should be vigilance. energy, prudence and honesty that when iue want ' or lund is most glaring and urgent, there should be saving and curtailment, not waste and profuse. bp-tV We Ibiow that bwrowmg rs not tho mjrr. ft.
