HE GAZETTE: By EDGAR SNOWDEN. Terms. Daily paper IS per annum. Country paper 5 per annum. The ALEXANDRIA GAZETTE for the coun try is printed on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. All advertisements appear in both papers, ana are inserted at the usual rates._ THE TRUE WORKING MAN. MR. EVERETT’S SPEECH. The Bunker-Hill Aurora of Saturday furnish es the following sketch of a Speech made by the Hon. Edward Everett, at a meeting of the Whigs of Charlestown, on the Friday evening preced ing the late election. Mr. Moderator, to a Workingmen’s party, in my apprehension of what ought to be the com position ot a party so denominated, that is the great mass of the honest and industrious men, of every pursuit and calling, to the exclusion of the irreligious and the immoral—the idle, the in temperate, the busy body, the do little, the do nothing, the miser, and the spendthrift to such a party, I am so far from bfeing opposed that I would lain be thought an humble member of it. It may be in your recollection, that some two or three years ago, I endeavored, in a public ad dress from this place, to set forth the true prin ciples of »uch a party. 1 know not whether my claim to be a workingman will be allowed, by •II those who compose it, as at present organ ised. I have, since 1 have been a public man, been denounced very frequently, as an aristocrat. I do not know precisely what that imports, in a country like ours; but this I may say, that I do not know how the bread of idleness tastes; and that 1 have no object, in life, but by the steady and laborious exertion ot an liumblecapacity, to discharge the duties of a good citizen and an inoffensive neighbor, and to bring up my chil dren ir the paths of virtue, temperance, ard ho uest industry. If this makes a workingman, I am one. Let me go farther and say, that I have no feelings at variance with the rights and inte rests of those, who, in the narrower sense of the term, are more commonly classed as work ingmen, I was born and brought up, in that condition of competence, bordering much more closely on poverty than riches. I got the chief part of my early education at the public schools of my native towm, Dorchester, and Boston; and if on the face of the earth, there was ever such a thing a3 an humble and friendless orphan boy, Tfclt myself such, the day I first made ac quaintance with good old master Tileston’s fe rule, at the North end writing school. God knows, that if any thing on earth commands my sympathy and respect, it is the struggles of the poor and friendless, to rise in the word, un der the obstacles of want of property and want of friends. Ifl thought these feelings peculiar to myself, I should hesitate in utte.ing them. It is because I know they are not—because I speak in the hearing of hundreds, whose bosoms beat with the same emotions—that 1 boldly ap peal to them, to give me credit for participating inem. Sir, I take it our fellow citizens of the work ingmen’s party are of two classes; first, a por tion of the JacKson party, who think that an op po-iition to the Sate administration can be more advantageously carried on, by acting under this banner; and secondly, a portion of the commu nity, particularly of those engaged in me chanical pursuits, who really think they have wrong* to redress and burdens to get rid of pe culiar to themselves, wantonly or unnecessarily inflicted and imposed by the other classes of so ciety, and requiring for their remedy a separate •political organization. The remarks I have to make are addressed wholly to the latter portion of the working men’s party. It certainly does not belong to me to dictate to our political oppo nents what course or measures they shall pursue or what policy they shall adopt. They know their own interest, and if in their opinion the workingmen’s party is a more promising name than Jackson party, they will not Ire deterred by us from adopting it. I wish only that the state of the case may be fairly understood; and without the least wish to interfere with our oppo nents, in their mode of waging the political war fare, I desire only that the footing on which each man stands should be candidly avowed. But to the other description of Workingmen, who, agreeing with us in political opinion, real ly think they have evils and wrongs of their own to redress, I would say, my friends what do you seek, which we do not prize as much as you?— What do you complain of. which we do not al so admit to be a burden? Would you reform the laws, so would we. We think them good— we think them the legacy of venerable and pa triotic forefathers—but we do not think them per fect; for they are the work of fallible men; some are notoriously imperfect; we perceive their de fects, and are ready to apply any feasible reme dy. We know that we live in a stirring time; that new lights are opening in every quarter, requiring changes to be made in the laws. We will go with you, not rashly nor recklessly,— you Jo not, we trust, require it.—but boldly and in good faith. Specify the evil—propose the re medy—let it be constitutional, reasonable, prac ticabie,—ana see u we noia uuck. Fellow-Citizens of the Workingmen’s party, 1 have earnestly sought to become acquainted with your peculiar opinions; to learn what mea sures you desire anti think necessary. 1 have conversed with some of those, in whom you place the greatest confidence, and l have read some of your publications. I have sought the information in the spirit of candor. In the ‘Daily Reformer,’ a journal, of which the pub lication is just commenced, and which I suppose justly represents your views, I find them expli citly stated. In a series of piopositions, under the name of “the Workingmen’s Measures,” which I will briefly examine; and. if I do not grossly deceive myself, I can satisfy you, that there is by no means, in reference to these lead ing measures, such a difference of opinion, be tween you and us, as requires the organization of a new party. 1. The first of these measures is a general system of Education, by means of Manual La bor Schools, supported at the public expense, and open alike to the children of the poor and rich.” A general system of Education! Are we opposed to that? Who is opposed to it!— Show me the degenerate wretch, born and bred on the soil of New England, that dare stand up j and oppose it. The air he breathes would poi son him; his bread would choke him; there does not live such a man. As to manual labor schools,! they are certainly as yet an experiment. I am somewhat inclined in their favor. I can say,! with Dr. Franklin, I delight to see a good work- j man handling his tools; and I believe, if every j man, whatever his business In life, would learn j to handle the tools of a mechanical pursuit, he would be the better, in health and usefulness.— J But I cannot say, in candor, that 1 have made up my mind, that it would do, at present, to lay a state tax, to support this new description of schools, throughout the Commonwealth; if this is what is meant by a general system of such schools supported at the public expense.” But I am ready to try the experiment of such a school, fully and fairly, and to do it, either at the ex-1 fense of the state or town of Charlestown. You now, my friends, that it is now hard upon two j hundred years, that the people of Massachusetts, under certain limitations prescribed by law, a I* low towns to provide their own schooling. I cannot say I am quite prepared to give this up, though I am strongly inclined to the opinion, that the plan, which they pursue in New-York, where the state gives to each district, out of tne School Fund, as much as the district itself will raise by taxation, is the best plan. But at all events, if our brethren of the workingmen’s par ty, wish to try the experiment of manual labor schools we need not wait to put out Governor Davis and put in Mr. Allen, but let us go right to w’ork. Bring forward the plan of such a school as you desire in Charlestow n, to serve as a model, if you please, for others. I for one will support it cordially and zealously. Let any. man, who knows the guage of my humble com petence, say how much 1 ought to pay as my share of the expense, and 1 will lay down three times the amount to-morrow. So will you Mr. Moderator; so will Major Walker, w ho sits near me; so l pledge myself shall every friend, with whom I have the slightest influence. But do not, in the name of Heaven, take up so very un founded and unjust an idea, as that w e are op posed to any rational measure, for diffusing the blessings of popular education. 2. The second measure is the abolition of all chartered monopolies.” This requires expla nation. We must not go to work so rashly, as to run against insuperable obstacles. Some charters are of the nature of contracts, which cannot be abolished, under the Constitution of the United States. Such charters will be pro tected by the Supreme Court, in like man ner as the attempt ol the state government of New York to make a chartered monopoly of the steamboat navigation of her waters, was, by that same Court, resisted and put down. All charters, which are within the purview of the tenth section of the first article of the Consti tution, must stand; nut as to future grants, i go with the workingmen, in thinking, the legisla ture of the state should be more sparing, and that none should be made, not promotive of the public good. But I understand that it is against the banks, that this principle is chiefly aimed, and that our working brethren are against them in toto. It is possible w e may all come to this con clusion. I am free to say, that I think we have a great many more than we ought to have,and that the soundness of the currency requires the sup pression of all bills under five dollars and the consequent increase of the specie basis. One ob jection in my mind, to the course of policy pur sued by the administration toward the Bank of the United States, w as, that the breaning down that bank would tend to increase the number of state banks, and the amount of state bank pa per; and I did think the bills of the Bank of the United States a little better than Fanners' Ex change, or the twelve hundred thousand dollars of broken bank paper, which have been lying fifteen or twenty years in the treasury. When the removal of the deposites from the bank of the United States was first proposed by the Ad ministration, as a measure connected w ith the extinction ol the bank, the only substitute for its paper suggested was that of the state banks. Not a word was said of gold and silver. To every thing tending to an increase of the me tallic currency, we are as favorable as the work ingmen. It was recommended by Gov. Davis before it was by President Jackson. The gold bill, in Congress, was supported by Mr. Web ster and Mr. Adams, and with some change in the ratio of the two metals, it wouid have passed unanimously. A portion of the Whig members voted against it, thinking, (what the event has proved,) that as gold was under valued in the old coinage, silver was underval ued in this, and would be apt to leave the coun try. But to the general policy of increasing the quantity of circulating coin, the opponents of the administration were as friendly as its sup porters, notwithstanding the efforts made, by the Jackson presses, to give the question a par ty aspect. One of the foreign coin bills passed in an amended form, drafted by my colleague Mr. Gorham and myself. If our brethren—(said Mr. Everett)—are against banks and bank paper, they must begin by repealing the bank tax which, paradoxical as it sounds, is the first cause of their inordinate multiplication. It tempts the legislature to be prodigal of charters, by the facility with which revenue is obtained by this tax. When this is done, let the small bills be suppressed, and you will cease to be overloaded with banks or bank paper. But so long as you have small bills, it is not possible to prevent their driving out the coin. The law of currency, which causes this, is as unerring as that, which heaves the tides from the depths of the ocean. 3. A third measure, which our working breth ren claim, I believe, as their own, is the abolition of imprisonment for debt; but if they so regard it, they are greatly in error. It is a measure of no one party; it is the conquest gained by the civili zation aud humanity of the age. 1 remember three or four yearsago attendingn meeting of the friends of this measure at Faneuil Hall, when a letter from Mr. Webster was read to the assem bly. Mv own bumble voice had already been raised in its favour. It was not exclusively the j representatives of the workingmen who carried the measure of abolition, at the last session of the j General Court, for there could not have been a dozen members of that description in the House. No party, sir, has a right to appropriate to itself the credit of this measure, any more than to j monopolize the use of the common air, or of the springs that flow from the bosom of the earth. 4. The next measure advocated by the work ingmen is the revision or the abolition of the present Militia system.” Agreed for the revi sion, but l cannot go for the abolition. 1 can not consent to abolish all organization of that j militia who fought at Lexington, Concord, Bun- ker Hill, Bennington, and Saratoga. But if; any thing can be done by way of revision, let j us oy ail means nave 11. ixonony luces tne pre sent system; every one can point out defects. The difficulty is to propose an adequate reme dy. The subject is partly within the jurisdic tion of Congress—partly within that of the state. Congress will not act; the state cannot, in reference to the entire subject. Patience and good humor are ‘required. We must help each other to a remedy of the evils, and not embar rass the subject by making it a party question. WThat conceivable interest have the working men’s party in it, peculiar to themselves; or what will Mr. Allen do for them, which Gov. Davis would not do as well? 5. The next measure of the workingmen’s party is a less expensive and more equal law system.” In this point, I freely express my ac cordance with them. I do not perceive that I they have any exclusive interest in the subject; I but the object I believe practicable and desira ble. What particular system of reform is had in view, by the workingmen, in this respect, 1 do not know; and it is, of course, improper to approve or reject measures in vague general terms, when every thing depends on the detail. IT has long been my impression, that there is just ground to complain of the law’s delay; that the forms of administering justice are unneces sarily complicated; that it might be made cheap er and more expeditious. The difficulty in the way is. that none but a lawryer can tell precise ly where the difficulty lies, nor point out a prac ticable remedy; and the members of this as of every other profession, are naturally prejudiced in favor of their own calling. There is nothing reproachful in this; it springs from the nature of the human mind. When the English law bill was before the House of Commons in 1730, the object of which was to direct the law pro ceedings to be had in English instead of Latin, every lawyer voted against it, and Blackstone evidently thinks it was a change for the worse. In the House of Peers, Lord Raymond, in deri sion, said, that if they had the law proceedings in England for the benefit of his Majesty’s sub jects speaking that language, they must have them in Welsh for a similur reason. But Lord Raymond was a learned, virtuous, and upright Judge; and nothing is farther from my inten tions, than to cast any reflections on the profes sion in this state. I believe that Massachusetts is as highly favored as any government in the world (more so than most governments) in the state of the Law, of the Courts, and the Admi nistration of Justice. I still think reforms might be made; and I would respectfully express the sentiment of the young and promising members of tlie profession, who I see around *ne, that the young lawyer of talent who would strive to break away from the natural prejudices of his profession, throw himself into the arms of the people, and employ his knowledge of the law as a means of pointing out and remedying the defects of the system would not only reap an enviable harvest of present popularity, but place his name high on the list of the benefac tors ol ms country. 6. The next measure of the workingmen is Equal taxation on property,” to which I re spond with all my heart. 1 do not know in w hat point the present system of taxation is deemed most objectionable; but surely if dissa tisfaction with the tax bill makes a person a working man, the party must be pretty large.— I never conversed with any body who was whol ly satisfied with the present system; and I ima gine the man who w’ould propose a real and ma nifest reform would find no difficulty in carry ing the measure. I consider light fixes, fairly laid, and so as to be least felt, one of the favo rite objects of the political party to which 1 have the honor to belong. j I have now run over all the measures enume rated as forming the keystone of the working men’s political arch. I submit to the candor of my fellow-citizens of that party, who are pre sent, whether I have not shewn, that they do not contain any matter of importance on which workingmen—(usutdly so called)—have any interests, or any opinions, peculiar to them selves. But, sir, the bell rings nine, and I have said all that I w’ish—much more than I intended. I repeat it, I believe on my conscience, that the friends w ith whom I act, the great Whig party of Massachusetts, agree with me in the senti I ments embodied in the resolutions 1 have had the honor to submit;—that they are the friends i of the Workingmen. The friends of the Work ingmen?—No, they ore the Workingmen them selre*, the industrious farmer, mechanic, mer chant, citizen, yeoman—the bone and sinew of the population; and they call upon that portion of their brethren—a small portion, I trust,—who i have been disposed to separate from them, un der a different name, to return to the great fa mily of the friends of liberty, and rally with them, on Monday next, to the support of the Constitution and the Laws. __ POTOMAC HOTEL, j Corner of Maryland Avenue and Long Bridge, M axhington City.

JCt* A Town Meeting in relation to the pro posed Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Convention, is called for thi9 day at 12 o’clock, at the Town Hall._ 03*No newspaper mail, north ofPhiladclphia, was received on Saturday. Mr. Everett’s excellent speech to the Work ingmen, designed for the latitude of New Eng land, may be advantageously read every where throughout the country. We hope the reader will not allow the article concerning the late removal of the Portland Postmaster to escape his attention. The letter of the Postmaster General is a curiosity in poli tics and an anomoly in morals. The article on Proscription, from ihe Journal of Commerce, meets our views exactly. We are opposed to Proscription in Politics—Reli gion—every thing. The memebrs of Congress begin to arrive in Washington. The Hon. Henry Clay arrived on Saturday, with several other Senators and Representatives. Is there no law to prevent persons from shoot ing off the Potomac Bridge? That bridge is a great thoroughfare, and some sad accident will happen from horses taking fright. We were surprised to see, on Saturday, persons all along the bridge, deliberately shooting ducks, &c. without regard to the safety of passengers. The late barbarous outrages on the Baltimore and Washington Rail Road, call for speedy and severe punishment upon the perpetrators. Three persons have been killed. The Globe says North Carolina is the native state of Col. Benton, and that General Jackson ‘‘may well be considered a North Carolinian.” We suppose this is “glory enough.” Judge White’s name is more and more talked of, in connection with the office of President of the United States. The Prime Minister of Saxony, Lindineau,— a name which one speech has stamped with ce lebrity,—has had the clear sighted hardihood to avow', in a sitting of the first chamber of the states of Dresden, that, in case of a general war, —that war of opinion of which we have heard so much of late years, and whose bloodless bat tles have in fact been fighting since 1830 from one end of Europe to another,—it was certain that all the constitutional countries of the con tinent must of necessity make common cause with England and France against the despotic powers. This daring avowal, in the very teeth of Prussian, Austrian and Russian intimida tion, appears to be one of the most remarkable events which has lately occurred in the small states of Germany. All in the Family.—TIip two Jackson papers in New York, and the only two in that city.— the Times and the Post,—are telling truths of each other most unmercifully, for the amuse ment of the Whigs. The Scccession.— A controversy is going on in some of the Tennessee Jackson papers, as to the successor of Gen. Jackson. Strange as it may seem, the matter appears to turn on the question, who is the favorite” of Gen. Jack son? Betting at Elecii jns.—The Carrollton, Ohio, Free Press, says:—“At the November Term of the Court of Common Pleas for this county, several gentlemen were indicted for betting on the result of the late election.” Cotton Seed Oil.—This is likely to become an article of merchandize, and to be introduced into general use. We perceive by the Mobile Mercantile Advertiser, that a manufactory of it has been established near that place. On opening recently an Etruscan vase, taken from the ruins of Herculaneum, the learned Abbe Faccialate found an orange pickled in v negar, in perfect preservation; from which it ap pears that the ancient Romans made use of or anges as we do of gherkins. We learn that the only effect produced by the recent Treasury rescript, has been an order from the parent Bank of the United States to its I branches to continue to issue drafts on each other as usual. With specie in their vaults to an amount exceeding their issues, they will not refuse to grant every facility to the community either in notes, drafts or specie, as may be pre ferred.— /Jaltimore Chronicle. The heavy and extensive rains of Saturday, Sunday and Monday last, have swollen our ri ver to a height unprecedented in the memory of the oldest inhabitant.” The wharves are entirely inundated, and we fear that much da mage has been done to the goods stored in the warehouses. We learn that the Nottoway, the Meherrin, and the Roanoke, have risen to an extraordinary height, and that considerable in jury has been done on the low grounds of these rivers.— Petersburg Intelligencer. There is to be a great eclipse of the sun,” on the 30th of this month. So say the astronomers —and we believe them, even when they calcu late things to happen at the inconceivable dis tance of five hundred or a thousand millions of miles, because of the accuracy with which they give the periods of the planets and comets, the cream of the Joke is, the first notice the w lie here ever heard of such a meeting through the letter of Mr. Barry to Mr. Mitchell* We never heard a syllable of such a nicetin' and know of no one who ever did hear ot till the news came from Washington, if w F. O. J. Smith has not humbugged the Pastnia ter General lliis time most genteelly, we guess again. Post Office Department, Oct. 30. iS3j To Nathaniel Mitchell, Fsi/.t Postmaster, at Porllund, Maine: Sir: The Hon. F. O. J. Smith and Mp>>r$ U'illis and Clapp, as a committee deputed L that pur/wse, have laid before me tin proo-td ings ami resolutions of a public meeting assem bled at Portland, from different purls of county of Cumberland, on the 14th and 15th j„. stant on the subject of the pending applicate for your remural from the office of Postina»ier at Portland, Maine; and said application |iM again tliis day been taken up for consideration I have also had under consideration the remoo. i strances and statements in your behall on fi,? in the Department. As your ufficial conduct hail met with my rfrfj. tied approbation, not only in reference to tfl? discharge of your ordinary duties, but al>o in respect to the pei lormance of a difficult service that had devolved on you as the special agent of the Department, and which you had attend ed to with commendable zeal, and fidelity. have all along cherished the hope that the ’,jr. cumstances of the case w ould be such as would justify your retention. But it is obvious that the public sentiment in Maine demands a dump in the office. It is unnecessuiy to specify the evidence furnished of this state of public fil ing on this question. Yon are aware if tin popular expressions at the meeting abort rt hi red to; and of the statements and requests >eu forth in the memorials of citizens, and the re commendations of many individuals whoenjor the confidence ol the people, and from tlie.nl nations they occupy, are entitled to speak in i representative capacity. They are such as to warrant the conclusion, that your longer con tinuance in office will excite the public disap probation. I have accordingly come to the dr termination of ordering a new appointment of Postmaster for the city of Portland. Thomas Todd, Esq. will be appointed your successor. In order to allow sufli ienttimeand a convenient period for bringing the busmen of your office to a close, Gen. Todd w ill not b care fully concealed from the view ol those up011 whom the objection is intended t operale The censure, if any there be, which is jiwuf chargeable to the people who selected him a^ihc advocate of their l ights, is heaped solely upon the head of the representative who CjithtuiJ and honorably discharged the trust reposed him.

We stake our reputation as prophets upon the issue, that if any party, in this free country, should avow and carry into effect the doctrine of proscription for opinion's take,—the same doctrine not being adopted or countenanced by the other,—the party so avow ing and carrying it into effect, will as surely go to ruin as the sun w ill rise to-morrow. It can not be otherwise. Americans are made of ster ner stuff than to be forced into opinions which they do not approve, for the sake of filthy lucre. There is many a man, and ourselves among the rest, who would sooner live on husks, than suf femur rights to be thus wrested from us. No man, who has the spirit of a man within him, would succumb to such dictation. No; if he must be turned out of employ, he would be turn ed out of employ; if must starve, he would starve; but never would he suffer his thoughts to be usurped by another, or his vote to be held it the caprice of his employer. Tito thing would utterlv fail of its object, even in this city; and it ought to fail. But what shall we say of the high mmdftd yeomanry ol the country, most of w hom ire their own employers, and w ho of course are beyond the reach of the proscriptive system?— Would they not unite as one in putting it dow n by their votes? Yes: and they would do it ef fectually. We trust there is no serious intention with any party, to commit this political suicide; but if there is, or shall be, here is our warning, let it be remembered—for it is a word spoken in Mason.— ,V.

The method of instruc tion is entirely new: its intrinsic value, its sim plicity, and the strict correctness of its rules, are amply attested by the numerous pupils that have learnt from Mr. and Mrs. Honfleure in N. 5 ork, Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore. Ac.. By this, unlike the ordinary systems of Drawing, pupils are sure of succeeding, even supposing their previous talents to be seemingly unfitted for the pursuit. The art being so quickly learnt, be comes immediately useful, not only as an ele gant accomplishment, but adapts itself to the studies ol the scientific; to students of anatomy, physicians, mechanics, and travellers desirous of noting the objects presented to their view, no acquirement can be of such real benefit. Mrs. Honfleure invites the Ladies and Gentle men of Alexandria, to call at Miss Ashton’s on Fairfax-sireet, that she may have an opportu nity of offering for their inspection, specimens of the different arts she teaches. The room will be opened for visiters on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of the following week*. nrjr* Terms eight dollars, including all expens es during lessons. nov 22—3t __ FOR RIO JANEIRO, rfB: The new coppered brig MARY BF.R* tUXPXAKl).
