Merino Svt, was entered, but she had no friends, aad she proved bar-elf nnwortby of any. At tho GUI races, over this course. Pollard gabed all the laurels, and established fully bis reputation for ipted and bolton; aad, Poney had folly demonstrated, in the great match race on Monday, by beating Melzaire, that he was "not slow." However, Pollard was ihe general favorite, and bets on him were freely offered, and in many instances two and even three to one were given. At the tap ofthe drum, the three bones started.

Pollard taking the lead, and maintaining it for the brst two miles. Poney was however all tho while pushing close upon him, and opposite the stand at the end. of the second mile came op, and soon passed. The air then rasoanded with shouts for Poney, and the knowing ones began to look uncomfortable. Pollard could not recover, and the beat was won by Poney, as was also the second beat, with great ease.

Tho Charleston pnpi'ra announce the death of the celebrated Dr. Coopeii, of Columbia College, at the advanced age 8f eighty yearn. 0 011-110! We begin to see the true reason why the Post, master General could not get ready his rt-ply to the ull of the Sonata upon him. The Lynchburg Virginian Says that alihougb Mr.

Kendall could not get ready to tell the Senato how many Postmasters had been lemovcd since May lust, yet, had the Resolution of the Senate been such that heconld have turned it to party account, he would have found lime e-nongh to have filled volume in reply. Mr. Tnll-mndgi! gives the reason nhy Kendall did not reply to the Senate's call, lie slates that, finer Ihe last election in JVew York, there have branonurm-rous removals this class of oliicers, and that, v. hen ho called, as a Senator of that State, in person, the Department, to ascertain llio cause of their ro-jnoral, he wns unceremoniously rcpulsid, and the information Ibroojjh the medium of a rcr-nlution a doptcd by the Senate, although it might have been in a few hours, "ires not ready" when Congress was on tho eve of adjournment! And that reason, says Mr. Tallmadge, was, "because they had dared to vole against a member in the other House, who they conceived had gone contrary lo ideas of national politics! I state these facts hero publicly, on my responsibility, (said Mr.

They are true. I know them of my own knowledge lo be'truo." FEDERALISM AND TORYISM. Tne Union undertakes to argue, or rather nsserl, that the distinguished citizens of this Stale heretofore alluded to by us, as Federalists, never "embraced tho doctrines of Toryism or Federalism" To-; ryisin nnd Federalism being the same, accordingito' the Union. Wo have to say, in reply, that -they' were not gentlemen ols; and thatlhoy certainly were Federalists, as ry body in this community, of whatever party, knows, who knows any thing about the matter. And he that would allege the contrary, without possessing any knowledge on the subject, may well bu set down as a mere adventurer upon assertions, a reckless oxperimeritcr upon public gullubility.

There nre many of the most respectable Van Bu-. ron men here, who can tell the Union that tho fact' is as wo have stated, and unless wo are grievously mistaken, would havo no hesitation in doing so. Indeed, they can but feel -disgust at the impudencej di-played by llieir organ in ihis matter, arid its sharne-' h'ss perversion of truth. Besides the names of O-verton, Haywood, and Emmerson, we might have enumerated many others of the highest respectability and standing, who were avowed Federalist--. In fact, il is worthy of remark, at least in reference to tho Southern Federalists, that they wore generally men I high character and intelligence.

Right or wrong, they were men who thought for themselves, and dared to express opinions different from those entertained by a large majority of their fellow citizens. P.ut enough on this point. We propose now to offer lo the supporters of the Union and the Van Buren party generally in Tennessee, throe propositions, one of which they will be compelled to take thsre being no other alternative. The Van Buren pnity profess to have unbonnded confidence in Genl. Jackson's intelligence, judgment untl patriotijjm.

Wo too admire some traits in his character and many passages in his life; and none more than his truly high-minded and patriotic, leller to Mr. Monroe, immediately after tho close of the last war, in which he s'rongly recommended him, in the administration of the government, to lay aside -all party distinctions (Federal and Democratic) and to appoint men ft) office on account alono of "their probity, virtue, cap-icily ond firmness, without any retard to parly." "Permit me," ho says to Mr. Monroe, "to add, that names are bubbles, and sometimes vsedfor the most wicked purposes." Now, as Genl. Jackson" opportunities of know ing the Federalists, both ns party and as men, were great and unquestionable, he must have been amiliar with their political tenets and practices in all respects the Federal party having taken its distinctive existence while he was a political actor, and mingling and every day becoming thornugh'y and 0 nnletcly acquainted with them. Thus knowiri thorn, both as party nnd individually, if there had been the slightest graund or pretence for believing that thev were in anv wav identified with the To ries of the Revolution, either in principle or feelin; then wo sny Genl.

Jacljfon was guilty of a hi: crime, little short of treason, in rccomin -nding them to the confidanco of Hr. Monroe. For he that would knowingly recommend a Tory to the confidence of his government, must be, in principle, no better than a Tory This is one of the propositions. But if it should bo said, that Genl. Jackson was ignorant of the Tory principles or the (jeUeralisls; then it follows conclusively that he was an ignorant stupid dolt incapable ofoperceiving and understand in" that which had continually before his eyes and perpetually thrust upon his attention, and that which, of all men now living in the State ol 1 ennes see, ho had the beet opportunily of learning and un derstanding.

This is the second proposition. If neither of the foregoing propositions can be nd mhtedaa we presarna they cannot, for a moment could the excellent remark of Genl. Jackson, "that name are bubbles, and sometimes used for very wicked purposes," be better illustrated than bv this case of the Union. The Van Buren party hare now to embrace one or the horns of this difficulty. They can judge for themselves; hot honest, intelligent men, of any and every party, will have no difficulty in the matter.

FOREIGN REVIEWS AND MAGAZINES. ho rapidity with which the various Foreign Reviews and Magazines such as the "Lcndon Quarterly," the "Edinburgh," the "Westminster," the "Foreign Quarterly," "Blackwood," "Bentlcy's Miscellany," and the "Metropolitan" have been republished in New York ond sent forth lo their nu merous subscribers in this country, is truly astonish ing. Each of these publications being devoted lo various but distinct interests, the whole must of course furnish ihe American public with something more general ond substantial than n-erely an epitome of Ihe best current European literature. The "London Quaiterly," is tho organ of I he Tory and High Church parly, and, as such, gives lo the world ihe views of ihe old aristocracy of Eng land. It is conducted with signal ability.

Still the English Whigs believe it is surpassed in talent, by their own organ, the "Edinburgh," one of the chief contributors to which is no less a person or brilliant and accomplished writer ilian Ex-Chanccllar Brougham. The Whigs are the most numerous class of politicians and now hold the reins of Government. The "Westminster" is the organ of the Radicals. Through its columns they circulate their ultra doctrines. Tiie famous Miss Harriet Martineau is one of its principal contributors.

In the last number received, she has a long article entitled the "Martyr Age of America," which abounds in gross misrepre sentations and false statements. Its object is to aid and eulogise Abolitionism. In the course of the article, she introduces the case of Dresser, who was taken up in this city and punished as a travelling Abolitionist. The whole affair is very highly colored. The Westminster handles the Queen's Government Officers without gloves.

The "foreign Quarterly," is to the English, what Littcll's Museum is lo the American public. It furnishes an anal tical view of Continental literature. It abounds in correct translations of the latest French, Spanish, German and other foreign works, as well as in very popular criticisms. Blackwood" is a rough looking, but a most splendid reading Magazine. Whether Professor Wilson that wonderful scholar, actor, poet, critic, boxer, boon companion, etc.

now edits it, or not, it still is Blackwood, the vivacious, spirited, bril liant high-toned Tory Blackwood. Bentlcy's Miscellany," it is enough to say, is the medium through which the celebrated Dickens, late a newspaper reporter, now "Boz," communicates the most admired and approved literary food to a hungry reading world. PRETTY GOOD VERY GOOD! The Natchez Free Trader and the Vicksbnrg Sen tinel seem to know all aboul "Gowdey's" the customs of the Nashville people, We have to inform them, however, that "Gowdey's," isjnotjnow what "Gowdey's" once was! The "jewelry" is there, and all that but further the deponent saitb not. The Free Trader says: "Our friend of the Vicksbum Sentinel takes ns to task for opposing the "Gallon Law." He says the editor ol the free trader most know that such a law went into operation last spring in Tennessee, and that it has been attended with the happiest results." the editor ot the sentinel must know that in some of the hot days of last summer, (al though the law went into operation last spring) we had most delicious iced-julcps mixed for ns at every body knows "Gowdey's" at Nashville and he mustknow that they were not difficult to obtain nor "hard to take:" but nei ther the editor of the Sentinel nor ourself could have stood a "gallon." In illustration ol tne "nappy results" ol the law in Tennessee, we would call to the mind of tho edi tor ofthe sentinel a scene we both witnessed at public house near Waverly, in that State, where the landlord was dead druntt neloro breakiast. lint was this "happy result" to be attributed to the gallon law? Oh no for tho man himself declared it had been just so ever since General Jackson commenced his war npon tile banks, by a parity ol reasoning, II Ihe "happy results that shall attend the opera tion of the law in this State, may be attributed to the "war on the banks," and our friend ofthe Sen tinel will get his share of the blessings." In reply to this, the Sentinel holds the followingl language: We "acknowlcdeo the Gowdey's is a most convenient and comfortable place.

There was much interest manifested yesterday morning, as to the rcsnlt of the race which was to come off at one o'clock, four mite beats, between earring; and in the exercise oftheprofmioa, 1 have ircqaeniry mei who aoco Hraage events as woold pot to blosb all fiction.

Il was one oflbose cold, windy, sletty afternoons in winter, when "the Park" in the ciiy of New York, looks so beautiful, arrayed in ts jeweled drapery of ice when every railing is covered wilh winter vestal aress, ana ine bright son, spnrtmg its rays with the cold but cheerless icicles, eaatea the emission of every beautiful color ofthe rainbow, asd dazxles the sight with the moat gaudy hues, and the cracking and rattling branches ofthe trees, as waved to and fro ty the wind, seem to be rejoicing at the aplendor of their gay and novel habiliments, I was seated, in my office, thinking ofthe many poor, wretched, poverty-stricken families I had just seen standing at Ihe gate ofthe Alms-houo, with tbeir cold crying children abont them, waiting for the miserable pittance that charily, wilh a frosty hand, deals out to thm, to save them and their children from the bitter panes of starvation, when a gen-tie rap at my door started me from my contemplations. On opening it, a young and beautiful female entered. Ob, what a face! such eyes, such a nose, such lips, such a complexioo. such a figure in fact such a tout enumble never before presented itself to we. There was a sweet embarrassment about her countenance that rendered il ten thousand times more beautiful.

My young heart lor Men I was young beat with a thousand indescribable emo tions; and, lor the first lime in my life, I felt the power of that winged little gentleman, alwnvs ren- resented on Ihe stage by some fat. olumn. aonr-cront and smoke-goose fed looking girl. I had seen her oelore but when or where, I rould not lull certain Then she did not look as now but 1 had seen the face before. She sealed herself, aimy requet, and nxing ner large, nark, liquid eye upon me, she gaz ed intently, wuhont uttering a word.

She seemed to be studying Ihe inmost thoughts of my soul. I dared not look in her eye. I knew not why, bul I quailed, not in fear, but in adoration, before it. As I turned my eyes from her piercing glance, I perceived that a deep flush was crimson ing her cheeks. and thot she was striving lo commence telling me ine nainro oi ner nusiness.

"you will, I hope said she, in a low, faltering tone, 'pardon the indiscretion, on my part, in calling on you; but, sir, something seemed lo tell me that I might open my heart undisguised to you, and yon would not think the less of me fdr There she naused the oil of her lamp had burned out ere the first hour of the walch arrived; to gel this far had been a mighty effort, and the poor girl had undertaken a task she found she was unable to perform. Of course I immediately stepped in lo her relief. 'Becalm, said I 'fear nothing: Look upon me as your legal adviser and friend. Unbosom yourself ofyour afflictions freely, and be assured I will duly appreciate your conduct, and look upon any ofyour mifdeeds wilh the eye of pity and commiseration. Come, madam, tell me all.

Allow me to anticipate hut first answer mo one question: are you married?" Now what an unlucky devil am Ihis question, interesting me most was of course ihe one I would naturally put; bat it seemed a most unlucky one; the lady shook her head wildly, burst into a flood of tears, and sobbed as it her little heart would break into a thousand fragments. I was afraid to say moi and so I held mv tongue. It is however, always best lo let grief alone hen violent il must have its course it is useless to try to pent it up. I only looked and sighed, and cursed myself for putting such an unfortunate question. When she became more calm, she arose and said, 'I find myself unable to the lask pardon me, sir, for the trouble I have caused yon but I know if I should tell yon all, yon would despise me so farewell, and forget all that is past, bul of all things forget me." 'My dear madam" said in a tone rather warmer than I had any business lo, but not warmer than I felt but she did not wail to hear me; she rushed to the door, and jumped into the carriage wailing for her.

I ran to gel my hat to accompany her, but, as is always the case in such times, I took twice the time lo find il it ought. When I returned, the carriage was off. would have ran after the carriage, but the thought struck me that it would not be very dignified for a Councellor at Law to be seen running like a madman through the streets of a city like New York. There stood on the pavement a lad who I had frequently seen hanging about my door, and who happened to be utterly confounded at the strange appearance I made. I called him to me, aad offered him the reward of a dollar if he would run after the carriage and bring me back the number of the hack.

Away he went the carriage flew, but the urchin was close upon il. I sat in my office later than usual, but no boy returned, and no tidings came. At night I flung myself on my bed, but 'sleep from my eye-lids The beautiful faco and form ofthe fairy being wers still visible before me and I laid and thought over in my mind, what coo Id possibly be the unfortunate lady's case. One conclusion I came to at once, and that was, she had not, by any bad act of her own, brought her distress npon hcreelf. Iran over all the causes I heard of.

Some cruel despoiler, thought I some wretch who has led the poor, unsuspecting girl from the path of duty, has been the cause of all. It is the old case. He came vowed elcrnal love swore he would never part from her was shocked at the idea, that she could for a moment believe he ever would deceive her gained her love her confidence ruined, and left her. Such, said must be this poor, frail, unfortunate's case. Then I thought, perhaps it was not quite so bad.

Some lover had promised marriage, and now refused to comply. Perhaps she merely wanted to suo him for damages. Away with such an unholy idea! aluch a being, so beautiful, to sue roa damages! and then, again, who would ever refuse to marry -her? the thing was impossible. When morn arrived, I was no wiser than when I went lo bed; My reflections had brought me to no conclusion. On the contrary, I was the more be ildered, and my curiosity to know all about the matter, the more excited.

I knew the boy I had sent for the carriage, and after waiting several hours, walked towards ihe City Hall, having usually seen him playing in the park, or tending an apple stand at tho gale. I found him out he was playing marbles; and when I seized the little rascal by the shoulder, he screamed as if he had got into the paws of a lion. I think it probable, I. did hold on rather tight, for to tell the troth, I never was so bewitched in my life. I took him aside, and with many assurances that I meant him no harm, and would reward him well if he had done my erraLd, he stopped his blubbering and told me be had ran more than a mile before he could overtake the carriaee, and he would not then have succeeded if it had not stopped.

said in a fran tic manner, 'where? where? my good boy now. that's a fine fellow, where? 'I don't know, sir, but it was a great tail, three-story brick house, in a long row of the same kind, with marble steps, ami beautiful lamps, and mahogany door; yon koow, don't 'Know the said I. re plied the stupid urchin, as il my last exclamation naa been nul to him by way of an interrogation. 'VVhot was the number the number, my boy, of the coach? vou know I sent you to eel the number. Yes sir.

Tho- Report of Messrs.

Foster, Owens and Wagoner the minority ot the Investigating Committee which was published in pamphlet form, and, it is said, hurried away in great haste to operate on the New Hampshire elections, is emphatically a weak document. In preference to reviewing it at this time, wo copy from the Washington Madi-sonian the subjoined notice of some of its moj prominent characteristics: "We propose to examine this document somewhat in detail. And the first remark we have to make upon the subject is, that its endeavors to justify and tn make one of its merits in the public mind, the exertions of the minority of the-Committee all of whom are partisans of the administration to narrow down the -invet tigation into the smallest possible compass, by construing away the powers of the Committee, contrasts most singularly with the late articles of the Globe upon the subject of this same investigation. To understand this contrast in its strength and singularity, il will be well to recur, cursorily, to the past. It will be recollected that Mr.

Cambreleng, partisan of the administration, proposed in the House, as soon as the special report ofthe Secretary ofthe Treasury wns made to the House on the subject of Swartwout's defalcations, that a Committee of Investigation on that case should be appointed: This was understood as a ruse to impress the country with the opinion, that the administration were horror-stricken with such an enormous defalcation, and was willing and unxious to make it the subject of grave investigation. But the house was noMbus to be imposed upon, northe country exposed to deception. It was well, however, that other defalcations-had taken place, and others not avowed were expected. It was well, however, too, that by Mr. Cambreleng's proposition, not only would the Committee be confined to the Swartwout case, but the Committed would also be appointed by the Speaker, aad a majority of it be the creatures, if not dependant expectants of the administration.

Such a Committee, if raised, would scarcely be expected to run their inquiries in any direction, or to any extent, that would be likely to inculpate any particularly valued partisan of the administration, who might in fact be in fault, and much less develop to the country the full extent of blame, if any attaches to the accounting officers of the Treasury, for having permitted these defalcations to escape detection so long. Understanding this matter full well, propositions were introduced to the House, changing the character of Mr. Cambreleng's proposed investigation entirely 1st. in making it general and reaching all existing defalcations, as also the connections of tho returns of collectors every where and 2dly, in substituting an election ofthe committee by ballot by the House, for the appointment of it by the Speaker. The administration party of the House saw at once, it would he too glaring an association of their party's character with frauds npon the Government, to think of resisting the proposed enlargement of the Committee's powers which we have ntated, and so, after a.

little hesitnncy, Mr. Cambreleng and his followers acceded lo it. It was as obvious to them, no doubt, as it was to their opponents, that it mattered but little what powers were given to the Committee, provided, control over the appointment ofthe Committee were only secured to the administration. But here was the rub. And upon this point of appointment the Committee whether by the House or by the Speaker whether by the ballot or by closet consultation.oi party leaders with the Speaker, the conflict thenceforward was waged.

For days the administration party in the House, as it will be recollected, resisted an e- lection by ballot; in which all members ofthe House could be represented, and insisted on the appointment of the Committee by the Speaker. Here we pause, to advert to another case, referred to by the honorable leader of the administration forces in the House Mr. Cambreleng which betrayed at the same time the weakness and the desperation of his party. By a rule ofthe House, it is provided that "all committees shall be appointed by the Speaker, unless otherwise specially directed by the House, in which case they shall be appointed by ballot." This provision enables a majority of the House to order the election by ballot, asa .1. snosmuie iqrine appointment uy uucunci.

nuj other mode of appointment, or election, than by the Speaker or by ballot, is not within the rules of the House, but requires a change of the rules, and consequently requires the concurrence of two-thirds of the House to adopt it no rule being susceptible of change by a smaller number. But in view of all this, Mr. Cambreleng retreated from his proposition to have the appointment of the Committee by the Speaker, which a majority, if disposed, could have rotained, to a proposition to -have inserted (as a majority might also do) in the resolution for appointing the Committee, a provision for appointing it by a viva voce vote. If this had succeeded, it would have required a vote of two-thirds of the House to sustain the resolution, and without such two-thirds, in such event, the whole investigation would have been defeated. Now this was tantamount tn tho confession, that if the investigation could not be made by a committee appointed by the Speaker, and consequently by a committee that would be bound by every inclination and feeling of subserviency to protect the officers of the administration from public censure and indin-nation, the party ofthe Executive in the House were for defeating investigation altogether.

This premonitory symptom of glaring distrust thrown over the officers of the administration by its own partisans this bold attempt to shield them from investigation entirely or what would have been tan-tamounl thereto, to suffer their official conduct to he investigated only by those who had and felt a deep and immediate interest in covering np all their faults, could not but admonish the opposition to persist in their original purpose to not only effect an investigation, but to effect it by committee incapable of being either seduced by the flatteries, or overawed by the frowns of Executive power. They did so persist, and they triumphed in the House. The committee was elected in despite of all the subterfuges and impediments resorted lo by the administration party, and it was invested with the most plenary powers of investigation. The triumph wasa splendid one one worthy to precede the long succession of popular triumphs which, we trust, are store for supplanting the despotism of that desolating loco-fo-ihnt hsa nnhannilv seized and now wields the Executive and a portion of the legislative power of this mighty nation." smitten wilh it must be to. 1 again l.oki-d in the glass, brushed back my hair, took a survey of my he.d, prac iced numerous fancy smilc.to see which showed my luetb to ihe most arlvanlsge.
