We are not at aJlsur- at this-- for wo believe be would i been sole proprietor if ho Ind not Fmve been a State Senator, when the ap- ointment was made, and thereby put out t1io way of preferment, by the two fol- -wing provisions, which we extract from t'jc 37th and SSth articles of the Consti: ition of for hh especial use: senator, delegate of assembly, or loraber of the council, if shall quali- i'v as such, thai I hold or execute any of- of profit, orreceiv the profits of office executed by any other person, 'luring the time for which he shall be Governor, Senator, c. shall an oath that, "he will not receive ot: indirectly, at any time, any. part of the profits of any office, held by nny other person during his acting in his oiHce of Governor, Senator, A pretty "searching" prohibition truly. wonder the subject is an exciting one.

repentance, f' lend, is the best medicine for such dis- oascs. y. We have asserted that according to Mr. Ingham's Reporter communicated to Congress by Gen. Jackson, it appears that the General has expended UPWARDS OF THREE" MILLIONS OF DOLLARS MORE in 1829 30, than "Mr.

Jackson nf 3.179.005 03 And we have asked, will the Mail deny this Jt says yes, it does deny it.

We now wish to know what it denies. Does it deny that this is the result of Mr. Ingham's statement? Or does it deny that Mr. Ingham's statement is correct? Let us understand the question fliiiy before we proceed further in the investigation. Yhtis saith the have not.

yet noticed the slan- ilfTs of Senator Chambers in the Senate, iihorgh we have pointed out his ir.cor- statements, made over the bottle." There i.s an amount of injusticeand uri- which will not attempt to place estimate. YV; do not know whether Mr.Chambers has been in the habit of making '-ovcrthe bottle, 1 but i'roin authority upon which we place reliance, that he is now a most exempla- rv num. Would that we could say as MUCH some others and lest it may supposed that we have the man of Mail in our mind's eye, we hereby j.rotest against any such inference--as do asainst his illiberal attack on Mr. ('Iiambers. Our neighbor round the corner has not yet enlightened us with bis opinion the late scenes at Washington--nor bus he yet favored us with his views on the interest of the public debt.

It is as diflicnlt a matter to get him to speak out 0:1 some subjects it is to if A him to be consistent on any subject. DEATH OK THE GOVERNOR.

wkred MODBKataUV AHUfH, 8M07 voidable difficulties againm wliich they have had lo contend, they find themselves at the eloae of their ftrtt year enjoying, through an unexampled client of patronage, all the advantages which belong to old esiabliihed and long prosperous publications. For this liberality on the part of the public they are truly grateful, and it shall be iheii pride and pleasure to pursue such means aa will deserve its continuance. The nmeieal and devotion which they have hitherto felt and exhibited in regard to their work, will stilt be found to influence their, and with the additional facilities now within their reach they hope lo render the coming volume even more attractive than that which has just been Thev have in contemplation many particular enumeration of which they deem unimportant, not doubting that the promptness and fidelity with which they have fulfilled all former engagements, have created public confidence in their ability to perform whatever they may feel disposed to undertake. They prefer that their work should be tested by its own merits, rather than relyfor support on any specious promises which tbey might put forth. Since the commencement of THI LJDI'B DOCK the publishers have avoided all proper matter of offence to the proprietors of contemporary periodicals.

In the occasional notices which they have felt themselves called upon to make in relation to the progress and prospects of their own work they have made no allusion which could be construed disparagingly to others. They have pursued this course from motives of justice and policy -as well because it corresponded with their own feelings, as because they believed it would contribute to their interests. They believed that with the American public no good end-could be achieved by uncalled-for interference with tbe rights of others, and they have yet lo k-arn that in this opinion they have been mistaken. The patronage which they have hitherto received assures them of the favourable regard in which their work is and they knuw that they can only look fur future encouragement in a proper employ. ment of the ample means within their power to give increased satisfaction.

The publishers of Tae LADI'S BOOK take pleasure in acknowledging their obligations to the conductors of Ihe public press in all sections of the country. The general commendation which these gentlemen have bestowed upon their work is doubly gratifying to them because they have reason to believe it is deserved, and they know that it has been productive of great advantage, it is a source of much excusable pride to the publishers that the comments which the Book has elicited have been uniformly favourable. In no instance have they had the mortification of finding their efforts, to please, unsuccessful, or improperly appreciated. The publishers cannot believe that the remarks, contained in a recent advertisement of a contemporary journal, to which their attention has been especially called, are meant to allude to the LADY'S BOOK. The insinuations there expressed concerning 'cast-off" plates, mere reprint and multitude can have no reference to a publication whose costly embellishments and general merits have been for many months a theme of general admiration and rulogy.

They cannot think the of the journal spoken of so deficient in respect to a public upon whom they depend for support, as to cbargn that public i gross want of perception, mid an inability to discriminate, in matters of literary judgment. The publishers of THE LAW'S BOOK know thnl the minds of some men are so unhappily framed that they cannot endure successful cojnpctetion in those pursuits in which they happen to be 'engaged and they further know that those who are envious of superior desert are frequently prompted to the indulgence of a malicious spirit but they will not willingly believe that (he conductors of the journal (o which they haVe had allusion ougbt to be identified with either of these classes. On the contrary, they are satisfied that the ambiguous censures thus spread before the. public are intended to be applied to some publication whoae.want of merit rendered it obnoxious to such condemnation. The Publishers of THE LATH'S BOOK observed that several monthly periodicals have not only imitated the general arrange; ment of their work, but hive also atterhpted to follow their example in illustrating the Fashions.

This tacit acknowledgment of the superiority of their plan is certainly gratifying, and they recognize it with pleasure; but at the same time they cannot forbear saying that as they were the first to introduce successfully tliis particular species of embellishment, so they can now preterit it in a form of greater perfection than it can readily be accomplished by others. They do not make this remark invidiously, but as an act of simple justice to themselves, and Ibe em- pi-.) ed under their directions. In concluding this card the publishers renew their assurances of steadily persisting in their endeavours to improve the character of LADI'S UGCK. I iis present state they would have no fear of a comparison with any similar publication, and thrv flatter themselves that the time is not distant when its superiority will be generally acknowledged. They have no wish to boast of correspondents in Russia or "Constantinople," sallafied that whatever they may require in this way they can procure much nearer home.

They are too American in their feelings to build their claims for support upon foreign aid or foreign praine, though both might be easily obtained without incurring any serious expenai. The publishers hsve more pleaiure in receiving the un bought testimonials uf their own countrymen, than they could poasibly derive from any commendation of writers "in called upon to pfaiae that which they had never seen, and whose eulogies would be meted out in proportion io their rrward.
