Zounds ! What magic" in a name The des
ptrate and cen-hearted pojitichin who has veered
to all points in the political horizon, and thrown
somersets from pole to jble, becomes in a twiuking
a consistent and ingenuous patriot, if he can herald
forth his Democracy and stigmatize his opponents
as " Federal Aristocrats;!' The pampered Officer
holder receives absolution from -All official trans
gressions, and is permitted to rifle the public coflers
to his heart's content, provided he does so in the
name of the People, and makes affidavit that he will
uphold the cause of the Democratic party !!

principles. And, the ,;semi-feileralist'' who, in a
moment of thoughtless, aberration, dared to express
:an opinion adverse to the ' great measure of deliv.

NEVV YORK LEGISLATURE.
This body adjourned on the 7tli inst. after a ses
sion of-12 7 -days, having accomplished but little for
the good of the State. Jdany important bills to aid
tlie Internal Improvements of the State, after having
passed the House, were (defeated by the Locofoco
majority in the Senate. The Locofocos maintained
their ascendancy in the Senate, because at the late
election only eight member 'of that branch were to
be chosen; the rest held their seats under the elec
tions of former years. They have made te most
of their, limited power, among other reprehensible
acts, defeating an election of U. 8. Senator. Thus
it is that modern "Democracy trifles with the
known wishes of the peepta. and even defies the
- dearest expression of ihe popular will.

JAMES MADISON.
Ftotn. " the Curtis' - Heeoliectfons and
Private Memoirs of t&e Life and Character
of Washington."
Of the lamented patriot and statesman,
James Madison, it was once remarked to
the first President of the United States,
44 How does it happen, sir, "that we do
not observe the name of Mr. Madisoh a
mong the appointments of foreign ambassa
dors, or as selected to fill an important sit
uation under the home Government ? This
seeming omission appears the more" strange
from the friendship arid attachment that is
so well known to subsist between Mr.
Madison and yourself."
Washington replied : Ad to a foreign
embassy, the best in the gift of-the Execu
tive (they were, in those days, England,
France, and Spain,) have been tendered.to
Mr. Madison over and over again, while
his extreme repugnance to a sea voyage
renders his going abroad cut of the ques
tion ; and, as to the home appointments,
there is not one that would be deemed
worthy of Mr. Madison'3 acceptance, that
he does not well know is, and from the
commencement, of the Government always
has been, entirely at his service."
It was during a time of considerable po
litical excitement that ; Mr. Madison had a
large dinner party of members of Congress
and others. The conversation took a r.ith
er free turn, and public men and public
measures were discussed without reserve.
Mr. Madison held up his hand and re
marked: 44 Pause, gemlemen,if you please.
While I admit that, in a republican country
like ours, the acts of public men from the
highest to the lowest, are alike open Jo
fair and liberal investigation, permit me to
say that the personal character of General
Washington, his eminent virtues, and
matchless services to his country, must,
under my roof, always be treated with the
most profound respect."
During the latter days of the venerable
sage of Montpelier, he was wont to delight
his numerous guests with relations of by
gone men and tilings. Speaking of our
happy Constitution to a distinguished per
sonage, he remarked: After the peace of
1783, we were in great confusion in politi
cal respects. It was agreed on all hands
that our old system would do no longer,
and many of the best and wisest of the
land became the advocates of a more na
tional system of polity : the States of the
old Confederation to cede certain powers
to . a General Government, so as to form a
Legislature, Executive, and Judiciary for
the Union. But' how to organize a con
vention to form a Constitution for the new
Government, when o many conflicting in
terests, sectional and otherwise, were in
the way, was a matter of no ordinary dif
ficulty. All eyes were turned towards
him, who, retired from the great events of
the Revolution, was enjoying a well earned
repose smid the shades of Mount Vernon.
Could we but enrol the name of Washing
ton among the delegates to a convention,
under such favored auspices, our success in
the formation of a new , Government was
certain. And, yet, it seemed ungenerous,
nay, almost unkind, so soon to call this il
lustrious citizen from his beloved retire
ment, after his mighty labors in the war
of Independence. An application was
made to him through a highly confidential
medium : it was respectfully received, but
at once declined. Nolhing daunted.we re
turned to the charge ; and, as every one
knows, finally succeded. The patriot
could not resist the united call of his coun
trymen. He repaired to Philadelphia, and
presided in the convention. The Consti
tution was formed, and afterwards adopted
by the States, and thus did the great name
and character of Washington, in peace as
in war, shed the most happy and benign
influences upon the destinies of his coun
try." A Merry Fellow. The Editor of the
Savannah Georgian, must be a right jolly
fellow but we must dissent from his in
culcation of "pouring spirits down lo keep
spirits up." In some respects he talks like
a genuine philosopher. Hear him!
44 Truly money is a scarce commodity in
these our days. In these tunes there is
one consolation left, however to be poor
is to be respectable, and to be rich is to be
vulgar. Why, you can't find a man that
will admit that he is rich. Even the best

was fully aware that for nearly four years

made with two Irishmen to fill a t4Francis'
Life Boat" full of water. The boat was
only eight feet long, and proportioned oth
erwise as other boats.
The plugs in the bottom were opened,
and they supposed this would aid them to
earn their two dollars in a few minutes;
but, after having worked hard for an hour,
and thrown water enough tofill fifty boats
of the same size of the usual kind, they be
came discouraged, and wished to know
what became of the water.' 44 Faith," (skid
Pat) 44 it don't run over the top. and hy
my soul, it can't run outof the bottomland
the evil one mustdhnnk it, and weel be off
before he gets hold of us." So they jump
ed on the dock and were out of sight in a
minute. . -"h .

PoLincai. Peas. At - the market the
other morning, we asked a pea vender what
description of peas he had.' Oh, say a he,
mine are the genuine Whig Peas, they is
none of your Loco-Foco peas. What the
difference, said webetween Whig and Loco-Foco
peas. Why, replied the pea seller,
Whig peas always turn out at least eight
pea3 to the pod, but them Loco-Focos, while
cley looks monstrous plump and 4ml slick
outside, never shells out any thing. When
you comes to investigate - their accounts,
you find 'em all pod mat defaulters, I tell
you. "Mem, Never buy Loco-Foco peas.

ed and forwarded to me made by Stodart,
Worcester and Dunham, New York, came safe
ly to hand in fine order and perfectly ir tune
greatly to my surprise, as after leaving New Or?,
leans it passed tliroufjh three several boats be-"
(ore its arrival at Troj', a small, town within,
eight miles of my house ; from thence it wt
handed by wagon. Nothing but th very great
care in packing, could have insured ita arrival
in SHich order. My daughter is much pleased
with it, and considers is fully equal' if not su
perior, to the one I first purchased of you,- .
which good judges pronounced an excellent
one. lean witli confidence recommend to those
wishi ng to purchase Pianos to rely on you, as
well to select, as to pack up; I am certain
they will not .be disappointed. i . ,
Host respectfully, yours, &c.
