A few years more, and the Government” may be above and beyond the teach of Congress. _ THE EXPERIMENT. The precious experiment that the President h trying upon the country, is nowin the full tide of operation. Some of its effects are visi ble in mercantile operations, by the^ numerous failures that are taking place in the commercial cities—in agriculture, by the low price of the staples of the country—in the mechanic arts, by the suspension of business, the discharge of work men, the failure to pay wages—and how it works upon the manufacturing interests, may be learn ed from the following statement, which we copy from the New York Mercantile Advertiser: The Dover Manufacturing Company, at Do ver, New Hampshire, have stopped one mill of 0,000 spindles, which employed 250 hands, and manufactured 300,000 lbs. of cotton per annum. The New Market Manufacturing Company, one mill of 4,000 spindles, and as they make coarse goods, they have discharged but 150 hands, though they consumed 200,000 lbs. of cotton. Nashua Manufacturing Company, one mill, 5,000 spindles, 250 hands, consumed 300,000 lbs. of cotton. Great Falls Manufacturing Company have {riven orders to stop their WOOLLEN MILL, which employed 200 hands, and consumed va lue on an average 75 per cent.—300.000 lbs. of wool, about two thirds of which was American. Dedham Woollen Mill has discharged 200 hands, and lessened their manufacture 300,000 lbs. of wool, principally American. Present result of the Experiment, on four ma nufacturing establishments, 1,100 hands dis charged, 800,000 lbs. of cotton and 600,000 lbs. of wool less consumed. Here is a delightful spectacle for all interested to look at’. Such grand results from such a grand Experiment, ought certainly to make those concerned in carrying it on vastly pleased with themselves as well* as the operation. THE PARTY.” It has become fashionable, of late, when a memorial is presented to Congress, on any sub ject which refei^ to the state of the country, for some member of the party to rise in his place, and exclaim, Why! that conies from the oppo nents of General Jackson! What have we to do with that?” Mr. Reed, of Mass., well replied to remarks of this kind in the House of Representatives on Monday last. He said: “But the gentleman says that no Jackson men have signed the memorial (as I understood him.) And has it come to this? Is the President of the f nited States the President of the Jackson par ty only? Are this House under the control of such principles? I confess 1 have felt somewhat fortified at hearing memorials, begin by stat ing: At a Jackson meeting, or a meeting with distinction of parties: as if such ^meeting *ndsuch a memorial would receive more favor in the eyes of Congress. Has it come to this, 'that the free, independent citizens of the United States must declare that they are Jackson men, •°gain a favorab’e hearing in this House, and that, too, when they are pouring out their com Ptoints, describing their distress, and praying their rulers to grant relief? I trust not. No, Mr. Speaker, party spirit has not yet sunk us to taut state of miserable degradation, that it has peorae necessary for American citizens to be to any party, to entitle them to the conside j^tion and regard of their Representatives on tins floor.” w MR. RIVES. The recent course of this gentleman does no ‘vesshonor to his principles as a politician than ‘•'feelings as a man. He goes into retirement, ^frying with him, as we believe, the admira ll0a °f all parties. The last Richmond papers contain his letter resignation, addressed to the General As sembly, which is expressed in nearly similar ariguage to his last speech in the Senate. The successor to Mr. Rives was to have been elected 3 A\ ednesday last. DAVID CROCKETT. u Crockett went the figure” in the House rableNatives on Monday, when conside fro Jecbon was made to printing a petition Thmh^CnnS^Van^a’ °n deposite business, and* h°norabie gentleman’s speech was “short w SWeeV> and in the words following, to wit: tahthtfi3"1 the on|y Person from Tennes 'stratian i?ouse.who am °PPosed to the admin may -a’, il?p® 1 ma>’ get a few words in; that are my own notions o» these matters.—Sir, I think the member from New York (Mr. Turrill) who has just spoke, has been a little testy in his objections; he talks much about this, as if it was a great matter.— Sir, are we to stick at such trifles as a few dol lars in the printing a matter so unimportant. It seems, sir, tome to be something like loading a twenty-four pounder to shoot a flea. Sir, is it not so. We are spending 3 or 4000 dollars in discussingthe printing of a matter that perhaps after all will not be 20 cost. But, sir, this is re trenchment; but it is the old rule for retrench ing. I love, sir, to see the petitioners come here, and my life on it, sir, they will come; aye, and from Indiana, for all that we hear to contrary; and yet from my own State, every day my let ters tell me they wish this question settled. They know very well in my district the char acter of the man; who, when he takes any thing into his head, will carry it into effect. They 1 know how I should act in this Bank business, for I told them, before I was elected, how 1 should vote—that 1 would recharter the Bank, and res tore the deposites. Sir, I get letters every day from all parts, which tell me these acts are dis-1 approbated. The question is now whether we shall be under the old and happy state of things, or have a despot. Sir, the people have a right j to tell their grievances, and sir, I tell you they must not be refused—I can’t stand it longer—I won’t.” We think there are a great many people, who, like the honorable gentleman, can’t stand this state of things much longer—and like him, too, “they won’t.’ Go ahead! The proceedings of the Mechanics in New York will attract great attention. The Re port of their Conmittee adds force to the Report of the Philadelphia Committee. There was a great meeting of the Building Mechanics of Philadelphia last Monday, on the state of the country. Strong resolutions were j passed. 3000 persons were present. The spir it is up every where. The honest people are speaking. l ne autnor or jacx uowning's Letters is saio to be Charles A. Davis, merchant, Broad street) New York—of the firm, we believe, of Brooks and Davis.

The United States Gazette publishes a notice ofthe marriage of Mr. Charles Oyster, merchant of Reading, Berks county, Pennsylvania, to Miss Margaret Oyster, daughter of Mr.^braham Oyster, of Oyster Point, Cumberland county, New-Jersey. About 100 tons of ice carried from Boston to Calcutta, by the Tuscany, had been landed free of duty, and orders given to extend the same favor to similar cargoes from whatever quarter. It was selling at 6 1 4 cents per pound. By order of the Navy Department, the cut water of the U. S.

It will represent the General dressed in his ordinary riding cloak, holding his hat and cane in one hand, in the other a scroll of the 1 Constitution. I i wn 111 |_|| [communicated.] jl/r. Editor—Although I have long been of opinion that the Administration was controlled by an irresponsible cabal, yet, I confess I have read Mr. Duane’s third letter with amazement; for I did not believe that they could have the effrontery to act in the manner described by Mr. Duane. It will be in vain for the Giobe and the collar presses to deny his statement, as he is known to be a man of truth and integrity.— Is there then any thing more wanting to prove, that the Government of this Republic is in the hands of an unprincipled and corrupt crew, and that the high places of the nation are filled by men unworthy of them? Let us talk no more of Mr. Taney. He is, in my opinion, the soul of honor” compared with the other members of the Administration. He did but carry into execution a mea sure which he approved: they have support ed a measure which they disapproved, by pll the influence to be derived from their names and stations. In supporting the measure, they have supported the authors of it. And who, let me ask, are the authors of it? Not Gen. Jack son; but the men who control him and all the powers of the Executive, viz: Amos Kendall and Reuben M. Whitney—the former, by his own showing, an ingratethe betrayer of his friend and patron; the latter, by the shewing of a com mittee of Congress, proven to have been guilty of conduct which I shall not designate. Men who can submit to hold office under such cir cumstances, must be wedded to the emoluments of office; for honor there is none. If this developement does not open the eyes of the people, then are they, indeed, more blind more infatuated—than were the children of Is rael, when (to quote the favorite text of the learned Rev. Dr. Jackson) they fell down and worshipped the golden calP.” I SOUTH SIDE.

ON Tuesday morning, between Fredericks burg and my plantation, in the upper end of Stafford, a NEGRO MAN, and the MARE on which he was riding, both belonging to me, were stolen by a man who seems to have been astranger in this part of the country. When seen in possession of the Slave and of the Mare, fie was inquiring his way to Stafford Court House. lie is described to me as a person be tween fifty and sixty years of age, with re markably white hair; his stature stout and welt set. He wore a brownish colored stuff cloak. The negro is between twenty-five and thirty years of age, as well as is remembered; stout ir his person, and about five feet ten or eleven in ches high: has a drawling manner of talking, and appears to be much less sagacious than lie really is. His name is Jack. His dress was a blue cloth cap, a grey great coat, and his unde: clothing drab cloth. The Mare is a fine large sorrel, without any spot of white about her, unless perhaps there may be some few white hairs in the centie of the forehead, not covering more than the size oi a four-pence-halfpenny. She is, as v\ell as is recollected, going on seven years of age; is re markably long in her body; has along tail, and t is remarkable where it joins the rump. There may be discerned in the film of one of her eyes in incision which was made a year or two age. o cure the hooks. One Hundred Dollars Reward will be given for herecovery of the above Slave and Mare, or in he proportion of four and two for the recovery o dther. JNO. TAYLOE LOMAX. Fredericksburg, Jan. 23, 1834.
