WEirTCOTT AND THrE DEMiOCRACY.- The Honorable Senator from Florida seems *y)- to0have rather and indifferent opinion of his political 'associates. We make the follow- ing extracts+T"ore his speech on the resolu- tion to e'X,-lde the editor of the Union from the floor of tlhe Senate? "3 r. Wesmteolt asked I what is Democra- cy?' Vand1 said that at this time of day, under this adminizi ration. Democracy was nothing. n mrwre than tie loaves and fishes'--yes the loaves and fishes' fromn a Lieutenant-Gene- ral down to a Seeond-Lieutenatt. "I warn (said he,) the Democracy of the iew-piezofl this country that they don't know lhe one-twetiieth part of the eorrupiion- tlhe feculent4- reeking corruption of this 'government! I tell the people of this + counurv lIIth the Governnment -and the in- s.i- tuli,nmsof the country, are used but as a In chfine to plunder then for the benefit of 'office *lf1e atig. _J s-ilemrn lv believe that.if the people of the -United States knew the manner in which the Government is con- ducied, if they could all be assembled here in thte City of Washington it tweni) fi mr hours, they would excite a revolnti6o and tuMble [he Presideni. the heads of, depart- nients, both houses of Congress, Whigs nnd Democrats, head over heels into, the Poto- mac! and I believe they wouldY serve them riht loo ! AMr. W. said he supposed thait for what lie was now saying, he would be read out of the De'no"iiio party, of. ffice- holders!- Well, lev lhem.read him out. He did not wannt-to relmlain in such company. But like his honorable friend fronn Massachusetts, lie wouldthaveto say, where shall I go ?" lie col6.l oni-vs'yto his honorable friends z behind !lii,(dhe Whils) that he could not So-with flieni. He did not believe th:,t the eleva:t]'itoflthe Whigs to power would cure the evil. Corruption had laid its fangs too deeply upon both parties, and there was no remedy for the evil, but the creation of a third party, a pure, old-fashioned demno- cratic pau!y,' wlo would discard plunder in all its shapes." Now we admit lhat Mr. Westcott has had a pretty good Upporlnutity of judging of the character antd Irneedin-?.; of the present ad- m ni-Iiuitrailio'n, ani that so far as it is concern- edi, his rtestirnony- is entitled to tlhe weight usually allowcil to the asseverations of men, who, at the moment of exposure, turn states' evidence, in order to save themselves from tirufiled piinishni-. .Mr. Westcolt, how- ever, hais siund by the administration of Mr. Polk, just as. long as the people -of Florida were willing to sustain the firm; but the re- cent developments it his own State, prove *; thyat a new issae ,ust be raised, or- (hat a Whliig Senator will be retuned in his place.

I) riill regulations, and they catr'yj-eters-of marque. There names are as follows. Reint le Caistilla, Capt. Moody, 214 tons, 2 0 m e r .' " Sebaiti in del Qano, Capt.

"THE SCENE !N THE SENATE." We are of those who think that entirely too In* h importance is attempted to be attaehel to 'the recent proceedings of the Senate i '.. the case f Mr. Ritchie, and that the "outra;,e upon the liberty of the press," in the;-.person 'of the venerable editor, is purely imaginary ; no such outrage having -been perpetrated. Mr. Ritchie was entitled to the pri;vilegi- oflhie dloor by the courtese oftire Senatv--whlicl he libelled. As prin- ter to the Senaie, he is ronsidered an officer ,of that body, and as such, a'nd' on that ground alone, admitted to the floor. Thus privileged by-the Senate, he libelled them, and' they, ii self-respect, have witlhdra wn from liiu.a couries.y which'he so wantonly- abused. But in (his, no rights of the press are invaded, nor is the Editor of the Union debaird from any of the privileges accorded to any/ otherE, Elitlrr it; the United States,- of witnlessin frq'rm the Reporter's deik, or the Senate gallery, all the debates and pro- ceedings of the body. The blow to him. is that he is deemed no longer worthy of the honor of the Senate, and is excluded from a position amount members of the House of Representatives, Foreign Ministers, and other high and titled dignitaries, who visit the Senate Chamber, and is compelled, if he wishes to witness their proceedings, to seat himself among his brother Editors and gentlemen connected with the press, at the Reporter's desk. Mr. Blair, while Editor of the Globe, occupied for a long period, as a roarler of choice, the position now deemed so odious a banishment, by the Editor of the Union. It will be recollected that the Senatesome two years since, by a unanimous vote, ex- pelled Messrs. Dow & Robinson, the Edi- tors of the Washington Journal, for an offence simjPr to that of the Editor of the Union. 'Xfe case involved a much more doubtful exercise of power than the present. They were, in fact. independent editors- independent alike of the Executive, and the Senate. And yet how silent were those who are now endeavoring in tonesof thunder, to excite public indignation against the Se- nate for a tyrannical usurpation of power! Even the would-be-supposed martyr of the Union, passed it by in silent acquiescence, if not approval.-[ Charleston Mercury. TEMPTATION. Every day occurrences show the pro- priety of recurring to that portion of the Lord's prayer which says, "lead us not into temptation : for, however resolved to act uprightly jn this world, the many examples of men of apparent worth, falling on (lie first strong temptation to do evil, should ad- mnonish us all not to put too great a reliance on our fortitu-de. We have seen men of ap- parently fair reputation, and to whom cer- tificates of character would be freely given- in whom every confidence had been placed we have seen such individuals unable to resist the temptations of the moment, sacri- fice every thing dear to honorable men, by volisting ,the trust reposed in them, and dishonestly appropriating that which was another's to their own use. A recent case is in point. We have no doubt that the'in- dividual who was entrusted with funds by the banks and brokers of this city, and who pliained a FEIGNED robbery, to hide a real one, could have obtained certificates of fair standing froem gentlenmen of the highest re- spectability in Batimuore. The fact of his being trusted witlh a -large sum of money is denton!tration of the confidence reposed in his horesly and integrity; -ind yet how does he now stand before the world ? As an un- fortunate man who had not the moral cou- aige to resist temptation-falling, from his ',high estate" into disgrace and ruin. This is an instructive lesson against the admission ofan uvil disposition within us-for lie who deliberates in rejecting the suggestion of crime, may be considered as already guilty. We could weep over the frailty of human nature, only that, justice demands the pun- "ishment of offenders. Who can escape re- iributive justice! The culprit may resort to cunning devices, and exhaust his intellect in platts to elude detection-but there is an allseeing Eye steadfastly fixed upon him, and an- Omnipotent arm stretched for his ckas- t-seeneni. Let no mnan then yeld to teimpta- tion under the delusive hope, that he caln go scatheless because lhe eye of ninarr canntrt penetrate into mysteries of his iniquity.- Such hope rests on-a foundation "baseless as the fabric of a vision." Transgression is visited witi punishinent-ii this world as well as the itext world. This, daily obser- vwtion proves. And although guilty nman may assume a boldness from the apparent impunity witbi which lie has sinned, yet there is no safety for his footsteps, or darkness to hide him from Deity. Let none, then, entertain the erroneous and faital idea, that because retribution is delayed, the offence is forgotten. The suspended blow will be struck when it is least anlicipaied. With the great efforts that are being made in the propagation of religious principles- the general diffusion of education-and by the labors of the lernperance associations-- to improve the religious and moral condition of society--it may be, considered surpri- sing that crimes siill increases so rapidly. But this is probably attributable to ihe re- m;ius of tlhat speculative and extravagaint disposition which lhas been prevalent of late years. Idleness and pride are too exten- sively diffused, and honest labor is too much neglected and contemned Meon seek the means of indulging their propensities by Jhalphazar'd cxp~erimenlis, arid failing honestly -to acqrlire lihem, th~ey too often, when the temnpli,), opportunity is offered, to seize the fruits eloiloter people's hlbor, yihling to the seductive offer, fiijd themselves criminals. [Boston Pofst. trary to the wishes of his freind, became an initiate of the Alms House. In process of time, the silver cord of the weary pilgrim's life was broken, for he died, and was buried in Potter's Field, Subsequently to this, in the darkness of midnight, the body of the beggar was disinterred, made use of fur pur- pose of dissection and was then thrown into the rivet while at nearly about the same time, the nameless widow had sent to the Coroner, to enquire how she might obtain the body of her departed friend, as she wished to bury him elsewhere, than in Pot- ter's Field, but he could give her little en- couragement. A number of days was the body of the pauper afloat in the East River, but by the hand of Providence it was floated into a certain dock, and then picked up and placed in the hands of. the Coroner. This gentleman suspected that the deceased was the friend of the widow, who had consulted him some days before, and on sending for her to look upon the body, strange as it may seem, it was immediately recognized as that of Thos. Wolcott. It was given into the custody of the good old woman, who had the body neatly laid out in a decent coffin, and the body of the aged pilgrim, at this moment lies in the vault of the Wolcolt family in Connecticut. intlhe midst of his wife and children.-[N.
