Why every Democrat should -ole for Van Buren.-ecauese. from a poor f'riemi- less, and unaided boy. who labored during his youth as a hirelitng on a farm. he rose to the highest office in the world, by his owen mrits. and by his own ereriions- thus proving that no matter how poor a nirn he, in this country, he many rise in the highest distinction, if he pleases, by liq good vonduct and intelligence. Because from his earliest youth he has gone for his country with zeal and energy. All the principles ofthe Democratic part% have ever found in him a supporter and :U champion; while all the federal guil-traps and falsehoods have been by him as ;taunchly aind effectively opposed. Because. although the unceasing object of federal virulence aid rage, they have neither been able to detect one blot in his public character, "to mingle admiration or to craitify haired." Because, he has always raised his voice against the onward strides of the money power. Because, he has never hesitated about avowing himself against the madness of the Aolitionist, and as utterly oppsoed to all theirschetnes. Beenncese. ie has never shrunk from an avow tal of his political creed. His' letter to Sh- rod Williams and his whole history prove that he is not a lunatic nder the coirol of keepers, or falleu into second childhood. Recause, during the late threatoning d ficultes between this conry, and England, lie managed the afinir so patri- otie-like and so fareless ofrconsequences. that his own enemies. placed. by their votes in Congress. ten miliions of dollars at his disposal, as the sitew of expected U ar, and anthcrised hiat to raise an armty of filtv ahoasanad men !

A British Major, deeming himselinstlbed 'by General (then Captain) Putnam. sent him a challenge. Putuam, instead of giving hint a direct answer, requested the pleasure ofa personal interview with the Major.

ENERGY oF CHARACTER.-EneTgy of character is the philosopher's stoge, 9f his life. and shouldI be.. engraved upon every heart-it is that which has peopled the temple of fame-that which has filled the historic pages with great names, and the .civil and military world-that which has brought a race from barbarism, drawn. the veil from science, and d.eveloped the won- Idronus powers of nature-it makes men great. and makes men rich. First or last it brings success. Without it Webst*r would have been a New Hampshire law.- yer-Tom Ewing a buckeye salt boiler- Ben Franklin a journeyman. printer,- Vithout it, Demosthenes, would have stamnered on to his grave, and Citicin- natis died a common soldier. Shakes- peare would have been shot'for poaching -'ope died selling tape; Roscoe lived selling beer, 'by the small;' and Napoleon goie out the world a Corsican bully.- With it each one has not only done much good for himself, much for his day and genermioin, but much for the world in the past, the present aid the future. Euergy of character will do the samp thing for any man in a small way that it las done for those. Give the lawyer en,- ergy of character, ind he will succeed at the bar without talent It 'is the secret b whieh the imerchani, the artist,the scholar and the meelanir arrive at distinction and wealth. If they full once, they try again'; no contrary winds licat them down: or: if' down, they will out stay down. The man' who has energy of charaeter; will rise in sptte of fortune and in spite of opposition.- Give a man energy. and he is a made man put him where you will. I is this fact that eives us confidence that the American people will rise from their present depres- sions as soon as the blast has hlown over thOt threwn them down. In defiance i'f bank su;pension, had currency, and every other evil that malice and ignorance can fix upon them, the people of this country have energy unough to rise and to prosper, He who gives up in despair, and cuts a- way the shr-ets of his canvass, because he9 finds contrary winds iii his passage, is bnt a poor uavigator. Magnanimity and gratitude of a Lioi. -Prir.ce, a tame lion, on board his Ma- jesty's ship Ariadue, had a keeper to whou he was 'inch attached ; the ieeper got drunk on'e day. and, as the captain never foren ve the crime, the keeper was ordered to be forged ; the grating was rigged on the main deck, opposite Prince's den, a large bar'red up pllace, the pillars large rnd ensed.7with imu- When the. kneper began to strip. Prince rose,gloomily from his couch, and got as nenr to his friend as possible ; on beholding his hare back, he walked hastily round the den, and when lie saw ifie hioatswain inflict the first lash; his eyes sparled with fire. and his sides re- sounded nith the strong and qitick bea7 tings of his tail ; at last, when the 'blood begani to flow froin the unfortunate man's* ha'ck. ant i he "cloted cats" jerked their gory knots close.to the lion's den, his fury becatme tremendous, he roared with a. voice of thunder. shook the strong bars of his prison, as if they had hen osiers, and finding his efforts to break loose unavail- ing, he rolled and shrieked in a manner thbo most terrific that it is possible to conceive. The captain, fearing thai he might break. loose, ordered the marines to ldad and pre- sent at Prince; this threat redoubled his rage. and at last the captain desired the keeper to be cast ol'and go to his friend' Ii is im possible to describe th'joy evinced by the lion; he licked with care the man- gled and bleeding back of the cruelly trea-, ted seaman, caressed him with his paws, which he folded round the keeper as if to defy any one renewing a simalar treut- ment, and it was only after several hours- that Prince would allow the keeper to quit his protection and return amotig thoe who had so ill-used him.-Martin's Bri*- ishs Colonies. The North Eastern Boundary.-A .cor.: resp)ondenit of the Journal of Commerce; writing fromt Washingion Monday, Juno 22, says that the British Guiveranent has necepted the last propositIofi of thie Gov- ernent of the United States, in relation to the adjustmsait of the Boondary ques- tion, with some slight modifications.

( To be concluded in our next.)Why every Democrat should -ole for

Van Buren.-ecauese. from a poor f'riemi-less, and unaided boy. who labored duringhis youth as a hirelitng on a farm. he roseto the highest office in the world, by hisowen mrits. and by his own ereriions-thus proving that no matter how poora nirn he, in this country, he many rise inthe highest distinction, if he pleases, byliq good vonduct and intelligence.

Because from his earliest youth he hasgone for his country with zeal and energy.All the principles ofthe Democratic part%have ever found in him a supporter and :Uchampion; while all the federal guil-trapsand falsehoods have been by him as

;taunchly aind effectively opposed.Because. although the unceasing object

of federal virulence aid rage, they haveneither been able to detect one blot in hispublic character, "to mingle admiration orto craitify haired."

Because, he has always raised his voiceagainst the onward strides of the moneypower.

Because, he has never hesitated aboutavowing himself against the madness ofthe Aolitionist, and as utterly oppsoedto all theirschetnes.

Beenncese. ie has never shrunk from anavow tal of his political creed. His' letterto Sh- rod Williams and his whole historyprove that he is not a lunatic nder thecoirol of keepers, or falleu into secondchildhood.

Recause, during the late threatoningd ficultes between this conry, andEngland, lie managed the afinir so patri-otie-like and so fareless ofrconsequences.that his own enemies. placed. by theirvotes in Congress. ten miliions of dollarsat his disposal, as the sitew of expectedU ar, and anthcrised hiat to raise an armtyof filtv ahoasanad men !

Because, in all his puhlie transactions,no vote of censure wacs ever preferredagainst him, on aeroneta of neglect, mnal-feasance, or deficeiencey.
