The kind expressions employed by the resolutions towards me, have been the more acceptable, from the fact that as cie citizens of Norfolk and Portsmouth were among the lirst to step forward and defend me against the attacks of a host qf assailants, so now also when all my per sonal interest has ceased in connection with the appronching Presidential contest, they tender me the voluntary offering of their confidence in my motives, and their ap proval of the most that I have done since I have occupied this station.

All this was accom- i'niea by the resignation of an entire Ca binet save a single member, and but few bonis allowed me, under the Constitution, to fill their vacancies. Let it be born in mind that all vacancies occurring during the session of the Senate must be filled before its adjournment, and cannot after wards that Congress had agreed to ad journ on Monday at two o'clock, P.

I leave others to canvass motives. I slate but facts. Ther.e can be but little difficulty in draw ing references. I felt that a high and sol emn duty had devolved upon me. My resignation would amount to a declaration to the world, that our system of Govern ment had failed, from the fact that the pio vision made for the death of a President, was either so defective as to merge all Ex ecutive powers in the legislative branch of the Government, by making the succession the mere instrument of the will ; or, by forcing him to give way before the embar rassments of his position, devolved the government on another the remotest pro bability of whose succession had not been looked to by the people during the elec tions, and who would, therefore, be more feeble and impotent in the exercise of an independent mind and judgment than a Vice President. I considered the path of my duty was clearly marked out before me, and I resolved to pursue it. I have been reared in the vicinity of Norfolk and Portsmouth. Many of their citizens have known me from early youth. The knew I feel a proud consciousness of the fact that dishonor could never at tach itself to my character or conduct. They vindicated me then, and now, by their resolutions, they avow publicly their opinions. The termination of my labors is near at hand the experiment has been fait ly made, and I shall under Providence, leave the Government to those who may come after me in all its different depart ments, unimpaired in all its energies and unaltered in its letter to true import.

Verplanck, of New York, Peter Pierce, of Connecticut, Wager Weeden, of Rhode Island. The great American Novelist for Polk and Dallas. The following letter from the author of the " Spy" &c &cm was read at the Great Mass Meeting of Republicans in New York: Hall, Coopebstown, Sept. 8, 1844. Gentlemen: Your favor of August 31st only reached me last evening, and I has ten, according to your desire, to give as early an answer as possible. It is so much opposed to my habits to attend political meetings, that I have avoided them for the last quarter of a century, attending but one in all that lime. The exception occurred this very summer, and if anything could bring me to the slump, it would be to help to put down the bold and factious party that is now striving to place Mr. Clay in the Chair of Slate. While I do full justice to the manv honorable men who call them selves Whigs, I say no more than I think, when I say that I regard their party, as a whob, as much the falsest aud most dan gerous association of the sort that has ap peared in the country in mv dav. We have had a taste of their measures, both in; the State and at Washington, and it is suf - ficient to let us into the secret of the means that will be used to perpetuate their pow er, should they prevail in the approaching election. God send that they may not, as I believe will prove to be the fact, notwith standing all their shoutings for anticipated success. This county, I am persuaded, will do its duty. I see Mr. Greely has set it down as likely to go Whig I con sider it safe for one thousand Democratic majority, it being out of the power of the Whigs to reduce it to much below eight hundred in 1840, a period when the dis tress that pervaided the country told heav ily against us. Now, every thing looks promising, and I hear in every quarter of changes from the Whig to the Democratic ranks. Cool heads among the Democrais, feel confident that the county will give fif teen hundred for Polk. I heard a promi nent Whig of the county say that he put the majority from three to five hundred. This was said in New York, and may be taken as'a specimen of the manner in which your Whigs are misled by the excessive confidence of their own people. I men tion these things that you may know what we think on the subject. I give you my real opinion, without reserve. It will not be in my power to attend your meeting, having business of moment to keep me at home until later in the month. But I take the liberty to reccom mend that you stand shoulder to shoulder until victory be assured. New York is Democratic, and at this moment our polit ical creed shonld be a determination to 44 beat the Whigs." It is a good creed at this parlicularjunctnre, and behind it lies the security of the State, the preservation of the pubiic faith and the perpetuity of the institutions, in practice, at least, if not in form. Wishing you complete success, gentlemen, I remain yours, faithfully, J. FENIMORE COOPER. Messrs. Chas. A. Secor and others. THE INTEREST OF THE MASSES. Nothing has done more to sustain our republican institutions, than our public do main at the South and West, acquired by the struggles of the revolution, and exten ded by the purchase of Louisiana. The laboring man of the Atlantic States, is transferred into an independent freeholder by emigrating beyond the Alleghanies. Federalism wishes to pen the people up in cities and manufacturing villages, for the double purpose of keeping wages low by the competition of those seeking employ ment, and of enjoying political sway ai the expense of abjert and dependent poverty. Democracy wishes to diffuse population so as to improve the general condition of the people, and give increased political power to the truly republican interest of agricul ture. The opening of new avenues for enter prise at the South and West, is of the first consequence to thai portion of the people of New England, who have their fortunes not to make. The federal policy in re ference to the poor, is to keep them poor. The Democratic policy is to elevate their condition, by offering rewards and induce ments for the display of talent, energy, and enterprise The re-acquisition of Texas and the Or egon, developing new and fertile territo ries for settlement and commerce, would open the road to fortune to thousands of the young men of New England now wasting away in poverty and idleness. An ample and almost boundless field, would be presented by it to enterprise and movement. In all this, Federalism takes no interest. Its sympathies are confined to those who are already rich and prosperous. lis idea in reference to the poor man, is to keep him poor, and if possible, to make him poorer. It would be just as unnatural for the Federal party in New England to favor the recovery of Texas and the Oregon, as to sympathize with the free suffrage move ment in Rhode Island. Both things are equally repugnant to all its instincts and notions. In the purchase of Louisiana, Thomas! do for a good watchword 44 Look out fori I. . . . . . . m m Jefferson exhibited himself as a wise states man, but still more pre-eminently, as a sa gacious Democrat. It is evident, from all his writings upon this subject, that he looked more to a 44 wide spread of the blessings of freedom," than to the merely physical development of the country. The 44 young and beautiful West," at he lovedto call it, was principally valuable in his eyes as bei lg a 44 nursery of republi canism" because it was an ample home for indomitable and sturdy freeholders. Thomas Jefferson wished to provide a safe refuge from oppression, to the poor man of the Atlantic States, and this was his controlling motive in the purchase of Lou isiana. He held all tyranny, aristocracy and Federalism in utter abomination, and he struck a deadly blow at the whole three at once, by enlarging tkat public domain, which gave a perennial vitality to the Republic, by affording the means of inde pendence to honest toil. Nothing has ever been added to the ' Democratic creed as taught by the precepts anu public conduct oi 1 nomas jenerson. It has received signal illustrations from the vigor and energy of Andrew Jackson, but in its simple and benignant philosophy, it came perfect and full grown from the hands of the sage of Monticello. In every question which arises the soundest instruc tion may be found in the words of wis dom which fell from his lips. Texas and the Oregon are portions of the very same Louisiana territory which : was acquired by him in 1803. If he was now living, what a rebuke would he ad minister to that modern degeneracy which is willing to yield them up to Great Bri tain, and thereby to cBrtail that ample pro vision for posterity, made by his early and far seeing sagacity. When our numbers were scarcely more than a fourth of what they now are, his vision embraced the then wilderness of the Mississippi valley, and extended over the Rocky Mountains to the endless shores of the Pacific" An imated by the same spirit of liberty, which inspired the immortal declaration of 1776, he wished to establish " nurseries of re publicanism" for all generations. Such was the man who had 44 sworn eternal hostility" to every form of tyrranny, and who, best understood how to perfect his own free policy, aimed to secure its per petual supremacy by rearing up a wide and increasing circle of defenders in a happy, prosperous, and intelligent yeo manry. Such was the man, the benefits of whose sagacity, modern Federalism seeks to cramp and curtail. The fathers opposed the purchase of Louisiana, and the sons seek to surrender its fairest por tions. The hate of Massachusetts Feder alism is transmitted, undying and immor tal. The Quincys and Pickerings are gone, but the Websters and Saltonstalls are in their places. 44 We have too much land now," is their cuckoo cry. So they said in Jeffer son's day, and with infinitely greater rea son. But Jefferson was not deceived. He knew that for the interests of the great masses, it is impossible to have too much land. The more land there is the cheaper it will be, and the cheaper it is the et sier it is for the laboring man to become a freeholder. Simple as these propositions are they constitute a key to the great poli cy of Mr. Jefferson. He wished to con fer competence and independence upon the great masses of the people, and he took the shortest, most direct, and only certain mode of effecting his object. The democracy of the present day, venerating the memory, will take care to consum mate the policy of Mr. Jefferson. Com prehending, as he did, the evils and fraud ulent objects of federalism, they will take security against it, by planting 44 nurseries of republicanism" in all the extent of the territory which he acquired for his coun try. Augusta (Me.) Age. The last Jonesboro' (Tenn.) Whig, edited by Mr. Clay's friend, Mr. Brownlow, contains the following announcement in capitals : OUR FLAGS AND CANNON. A Whig Mechanic of our town has kind ly offered to paint onr large flag anew, and it will soon appear at the top of oor pole in a new dress. Meanwhile, we shall be prepared in a few days, to fling to the breeze, from the top of our dwelling, on a neighboring hill, a smaller flag, on which will be displayed 44That same old Coon." Ours will be thrown out on occasions of the news of Whig victories in the State e- iections, and our Gunner, Mr. Drain, will instantly load the 44 Baby waker," and fire three rounds, for the information of our friends in the country. These, let all re member, will be the signals of our success. Look out in a few days for the news from Maine ! "Look oat for the Newi from Maine!" These are the words of the Rev. Mr. Brownlow, whig editor of the Whig, at Jonesboro, Tennessee. it is the concluding sentence, alias the short and pithy peroration of a bombastic article of his own whig prospects. It will the news from Maine." It will do for our brother Democrats to hand around and like a tumbler of cool water at all time le freshing in the hot weather, may be hand ed round the whole Democratic circle with out a single refusal. 44 Look out for the news from Maine !" And let brother Democrats look out for the news from all around the horizon. Look out for the news from Pennsylvania Oc tober is coining ! Look out for 15 to 20 thousand majority for Shunk. Look out for fifteen thousand majority for Polk aud Dallas. Look out for the news from New York. Look out for twenty-five thousand majority for the great Senator, Silas Wright, and his Lieutenant Governor, Addison Gar diner. Look out for fifteen to 20 thousand majority in the Empire State for Polk and Dallas. Look out for a good majority for the Democratic nominees in Ohio. Look out for the triumph of the Democracy over the monarchists of Europe, grasping after Texas and Oregon. Pass the watchword round 44 Look out for the news from Maine !" Madisonian.

Four years ago they sang and hurrahed us all the way up Salt Ri ver, and we cannot in consistency do less, now that they are going up the same beautiful stream with a twelve knot Democratic breeze dead astern, than to return the compliment. To assist 44the boys" in carrying out this lit tle bit of retribution this foretaste of the Fall fashions, I submit the following ditty, arrang ed to "thai same old tune," and cordially ded icated to "THAT SAME OLD COON." Have you heard the news from Maine, Maine, Maine Honest and true. Oh ! yes, we've heard the news from Maine, She goes for Polk and Dallas too, For James K.

'Farewell to thee, land of tiie coon's ruthless slaughter,'' Thus waibled a coon who apostrophized Maine, "You know that you haint doue by us as you'd oughter And the way we once come it, we can't come again- "I feel the sharp knife o'er my furry hide going, 1 feel its sharp point in my very heart's core, Good bye, my dear patrons, I feel that I am going And shortly the coon will be heard of no more.

From the Baltimore Sun. Health of General Jackson. Gen. Jackson is now about 77 vears of age, and from the daily accounts we meet with of his declining health there can be no doubt but that in a very short time, he who has occupied so prominent a station in the land, whose name is connected with the history of the country by many great and momentous acts, will sleep in the cold vault, by the remains of the partner of his bosom leaving not a blood-relation to the country, to mourn his departure. A cor respondent of the Missouri Republican thus speak of his health and other matters on a recent isit to the Hermitage, dated as late as August 25 : We met the General in the hall, seat ed upon a sofa, from wfeich he did not at tempt to rise. Age and debility have set their stamp upon him. His voice is yet clear and vigorous except when disturbed by a severe cough, with which he is afflict ed. His eyesight and hearing have failed considerably, and his whole person evin ces the tremulous feebleness of age and physical infirmi4y. His memory is yet clear and generally tolerably distinct, and his mind evinces but little of the decay which might be expected from the prostra tion of his physical faculties. His own remark, that 44 his taper was nearly burnt out. was most forcibly and painfully man ifest Notwithstanding his infirmity, he manifested great attention to his domestic affairs, spoke of his farm, Jae crops, the yield, the prospect of the markets, &c, showing that he is not unmindful of what W transpiring around him. His conversa tion concerning his own afirs showed him to be a man of great goodness of heaf t, a 1 ' i a 1 1 . . kind and indulgent master, a warm and i steadfast friend. His family consists of Andrew Jackson, Jr., an adopted son, and his interesting lady, who does the honors of the mansion, and fills the high station which she occupies with a tenderness, af fection and fidelity to the General, which does honor to her heart and credit to her sexr POLK ON THE WABASH.

Polk, Clay, Majority for Polk and Dallas, 34 92 4 14 Ibid. The British Tories have imprisoned O'Connell, onlv for twelve months, and not at labor or among felons. The Federal TVhigs have imprisoned Gov. Dorr, at hard labor among thieves and burglars, and for life. TO SUBDUE TEMPER. Fenelon, a French Archbishop, took in hand a difficult case, and pursued the fol lowing course, it is said, with success : The Duke of Burgundy, grand-son of Louis XIV., and heir to the crown, a spoil ed child, of an outrageous temper, about fourteen years old, who had got the better of all his tutors, was committed to the Archbishop, with full power to do as he pleased, and he tells us how he proceeded, 4 When the young prince,' says he, 4 gave way to those fits of passion and impatience to which a temper, naturally hot, mr.de him but too subject, the tutor -the masters sit the attendants and servants of the house were instructed to keep the most profound silence in his presence. They were not permitted even to answer his questions. If they served him, they turned away their eyes, as if afraid to approach a creature winse passion had overpowered his reason. Any attention they paid him was no more than what was necessary to preserve his existence, and that as if in compassion to a person deranged. His lessons were sus pended his books were put aside, as if of no use to one so wild, and he was left to himself to his reflections to his sorrow to his remorse.' These are the feelings which a parent ought to put in action when ever he has to deal with passion of any kind : and the earlier the better. A starving man who had committed a theft, was asked by a pious person if his conscience had not cried out to him 4 For bear?' 4 Alas ! replied he, 4 if it did, the cries of my stomach were so much louder, that they prevented me from hearing those of my conscience.' The Comet. The Philadelphia Enqui rersays that the five principal stars of Cas siopea, as seen at 8, P. M., form a W. An imaginary line through the north-east and through the middle star of the W, produ ced towards the east, will pass through the Comet, or strike very near it. The Com et is about 70 east of north and bordering on Andromeda. Scene in a Down East Printing Office. 4 Jim; what are you doing there on the floor?' Why, sir, I've had a shock.' 4 A shock ?' Yes, sir.' 4 What kind of a shock ?' 4 Why, sir, one of our subscribers came in during your absence, and offered to pay a year's subscription, which produced such an effect upon me that I have been perfect ly helpless ever since.' 4 No wonder, Jim ; but cheer up, if you survive this yon are safe, as there is little prospect of another such a catastrophe in this office.' The Materialist. A materialist, who had written a thousand absurdities to prove that we have got no souls, inquired of a la dy with a triumphant air, what her opinion was of his philosophy. 44 It appears to me, sir," answered she. 44 that you have employed much talent and ability to prove you are a beast." Tender Mercies. There are in the mines of Siberia, no less than 12,000 per sons, Poles and refractory Russians, who have been sent there to toil out a mrseTa able existence, by the Emperor of Russia. They are so wretchedly clad and fed, that many freeae sod starve to 4leath annually. Let os in happy America think of the ten der mercies we enjoy in this land of free dom, and never forget oor determination to uphold oor institutions. The best way to condemn bad traits, is by practising good ones. H
