MR. VAN UUKKN & THE SOUTH.
The extravagance and corruption of
Mr. Van Duren's ad mist ration have
bcCti SO ranli artil glaring, as to drive
even the people of the Northern States,
hisearlest and wannest friendif, from
Ids support. Having lost all hopes in
that quarter, his parasites are making
a desperate effort to catch and hold
the generous and unsuspecting Sooth in
hitvmcshes. To this end, every arti
fice that their ingenuity can invent is
resorted to.toinakeus believe that he is
"pledged to support the interests of the
3oath. This pledge, which has been I
falsely ascribed to Mr. Van Iiuren, ha
been so long sounding in the ears ofthe
people, without the least evidence Jt-J
sustain it, that they now verypropeny
"deny the fact, and insist upon the
proof." Will those who attempt to
entrap the Sonlhern people with this
kind of bai', be so kind and conde
scending as to tell us when the pledge
was given, and where it is to be found?
We defy his partisans to point it out in
any of his letter, speeches, or messages;
and we challenge the in to lay their fin
srers on a single act of his admimstra
tion which indicates the alighcst par
tiality for llie South.
Rut we are told the sub-treasury
scheme U intended to. benefit the South.
Nonsense! lie must be a silly guil in
deed who can be cliea -1 by fuch an
obvious electioneering trick. The sub
treasury benefit the south! How? By
destroying her State Banks, owned in
part by the people ruining her cur
rencyand transporting all her gold
and silver to the North? I'aint it over
as you please, this is the inevitable ten
dency of the sub-treasury 'experiment.'
An illustration of it has l.een given.
The eject of the specie circular, it is
well known, was to withdraw the spe
cie from the East and hoard it up in
the land offices of the West, where
j Government demanded payment in spe
cieto drain the vaults or the li.ink,
to caue 4he suspension- "of 'specie pay
ments, a sudden contraction of the
circulating medium, and the wide
spread ruin which has swept over the
laiuh It require! - but little sagscity to
foresee that what has been, will, uuder
similar circumstances, take place a
gain. The principal part of tlie'reve
nue is collected at the North; estab
lish the aub-treary, requiring it to be
paid in gold and silver; and you at once
open a channel through which the South
will be drained of its last silver dollar.
What evidence, then, is there in this
detestable project of Mr. Van liuren's
particular attachment for the South?
ThetrBth if, we belive the design of
this sub-treasury scheme, so warmly ad
vocated by the federal -office parly, is
to annihilate the banks, and give to the
President full ami absolute possession
and control of thirty or forty millions
of dollar annually, to exterd his pat
ronage and power, and enable him,
through this vast money influence, to
re-elect himself, and finally establish
upon the ruin of thia republican go
vernment one of the most corrupt and
galling despotisms the world ever wit
nessed. The immediate evils of this
great Van Buren measure would be, to
jeopardize the public money; to create
two currencies, gold and ailvei for (he
office-holders and rags for the people;
to drive specie from circulation, espe
cially in the South; and to weaken the
ligaments which bind together this glo
rious anion. It i no argument in lis
favor, that many are no doubt honest in
their support vf it; and that it numbers
among its advocates some distinguish
ed and patriotic Southern statesmen.

But suppose Mr." Van Buren had
"pledged himself to support the inter

Did he not once grossly deceive the
South, by a' violation of one of his

A Nashville paper states that Gen.
Jackson joined the Presbyterian church
in that city on the 15th ult. and that
the sacrament was formally adminis
tered to him.
There is another rumor afloat that
Gen. Jackson has " abandoned Mr.
Van Buren as totally unfit to carry out
his measures of policy." This state
ment is given on the authority of a
N. Y. correspondent of the Boston At
las. Whether true or false, is a mat
ter of but little concernment to the
public. Gen. Jackson's name has long
since lost ita charm; and the people
need no ghost to tell them that Mr.
Van Burcu is totally inefficient to act as
President of the United States." He
has been weighed in, the balance and

Dean 8is: A dual eitraordinary ' oeeorrwd
bare this morning, which baaexcited much in
terest in the aocial circle. Two colored young
gentlemen enamelled tbe causa as usual n tri
ll. On claimed 60 cents of ths other lb
other a resolutely denied the justness of tbs
claim. At last, such insults were passed be
tween them as no gentleman of trua honor could
or woalJ tolerate. What! (yon way with sur
prise.) kill a man who refuse to pay you fitly
cents! Bat ths insult, my dear air! Well, yon
iclaim, wbat was ill a mere breath a man'a
breath nrgro'a breath! a puff of malignant
passion! I are, my dear air, you don't under
stand the rule of honor. Tbry atnrr fi;ht.
Wbat will the black and yellow wenchra aay!
Coward! Think of it, air. None but tha
brave deserve the fair."
. .Their .first meeting- wiib. ftt1t was prevent
ed by ih interference of civil authority. But
men who honor bas been intultrd are restless
-they towed revenge and resolved to have sat
isfaction. Tbe masters met and consulted up
on it, and arranged a code, which I venture to
recommend to all future combatants, whose hon
or ia so sensitive and so fugitive as to need mur
derous tatiifuctiQH, to glut thrir Jevilisli priJe
and malignity. Yes, from the member of Con
gress down lo llie most outcast profligate; lor
re read that all men lay rlaim to honor.
Well, air. they met coats off dime honors
hie black herors. The milters stood seconds.
They had each a cowhide plitcfi! in their hand.,
and were then ordered lo Iwton to the rules o'
toivbat.9 I. "If yon strike my negro in tbe
face, I'll knock you down with thia rsne; nd if
my negro strikes you in the face, your mx-tir
will knock him down. - 2. You w ill strike each
olher live blows at once then stop, and a.ir
whether you ara satisfied if not, go on till you
are. Ara you ready' One, two, three, four,
five." And they poured into. each other so hsnl
that you could not dhitiuguish between thi rra I.
of the cowhides. They were not tutitjieA. and
the word wst again given. From the way these
negroes fought, you would have thought they
had been practised to it from their youth. Thev
kept up their honorable itching for revenge till j
they had each received 39 luh, laid on at
hard as honor insulted could inflict equnl you I
see, sir, to seven shots and four-fifths! Uy this
time their anger was cooled down to the very j
a ro of satisfaction their courage approved and
the debt settled. Of on of the combatants I
cannot speak of my own knowledge, hut I know
the other was so little ditahlcdtlia.t bewailed at -our
dinner" "tsble," in seeming good health and
spirit. Indeed,-1 thought him decidedly im
proved by the discipline of the cowliat.
Now, my dear sir, what is to hinder this mode
ol settling dinicultii-t! I cannot see. it Rare
perjret latiifaction to all parties, principals,
econds and the public it tested their courage.
Almost eight rounds! I hey were evldeutly not
afraid of each other for they stood iu ttriking
milance evcrjr fire! Alwive all, no time was
lot, but the time the cowbat lasted no doctors'
bill no wounds to dress the debt pnid and
their honor satisfied neither lias lost his place,
nrithrr feels disposed to brag that ha whipl t!,c
other, where each was so well whipped neither
was cowed both well cowhided. I'm sure
there can he no objection to cowbat, if w'e can
only get it into fashion nmong those who so
well draerve it, for breaking t!ie peace, wound
ing the sympathies, and rubbing the best inter
ests of society. It is quite as rary to practice
on a tree with a cowhide, as with a pistol. If
one party be a little larger than the other, let
the least have the choice of weapons, in length,
breadth and thickness. If one be tallest, let the
other stand on a block. If the insult be alight,
let it be simple " hot jacket,'" with coat mi
if more serious, let them dull' coal and vctt- if
an unpardonable nHYoiit, " If t them bare their
backt to the coubflt." Uy this nirans too, the
uruund Ka will Mrk discluu
healed. There is nothing like clappinjl a p'nt
ter right over the tore. 13 u tier tells us iu his
Hudibrns all about it:
" But Hud:bras gave him a twitch
As quick as lightning in the breech;
Just in the place where honour's l-nIgM,
As uise philosophers have judg'd."
If, my dear sir, I could tee this new rod rf
honor establihsd, by which no b'ooil thirsty
honorablr! (with a vengeance!) would go "ui
vhipt ojuttice," till be had obtained totitfuc
tion to his heart's content, I would feel that I
had rendered an incalculable service to man
kind. Yes
" I'd put in every honest hand s whip
(I mean a cowhide) to Insh llie naked
liuflisns throuch the world lay on Macduff!
Coward! b he who firt cries 'hold! enough!"
I plead for the new code again on account of
its antiquity So ancient is this mode of fisjil
ing that our very language .bears its impress.

" Only a tcratch a slight excoriation

Thus a prioii and a posteriori I advocate the
humane rode the cowbat. Only get it in fssh

of true honor. They will every man get tbeir

three urchins named Vard,a Jones, and
Toole, the eldest not more than seven
rears of age, were placed before Mr.
Rawlinson, charged with having been
found hanging to the teats of two milch
cows grazing in a field near Chalk
Farm. It appeared from the evidence
that the cews in the above field belong
ing to Mr. Bowder, had lately yielded
so little milk, that it was tho'tlhat thej
either contrived to auck themselves
or were bewitched. The great cause,
however ef the scanty supply remained
to be discovered by police constable
12S S, who being on duty at the spot,
on 8aturday evening last, detected two
of the prisoners and a eew besily
lucking their teals, while the third uf
chin was performing the same office un
der another cow close by. .They were
all covered with hair from the cows'
hides, and were besides such adepts in
the art of sucking that the animals sub.

having, to all appearance, adopted
them as their own, anil when the two

really seemed to be very uneasy. Oth
er urchins were engaged at similar
work in i.nolher part of the field, but
on seeing the constable they Scampered
off as fast as thefr less could carry
them, leaving, in their flight a bottle of
milk behind them, The prisoners who,
