TAKING CARE OF ‘‘THE PEOPLE.” It is wonderful to hear the friends of our rickety Banking system exclaiming, “Give tho. Banks time; do not lay rash hands upon them; not for their sake, but fob the sake of the people,” — This is a very commendable precautionary gene rosity; but unfortunately it is m'ainfcstod too late. Where was yotir bepevolence, gentlemen, when the U. States Bank loaned to the great Beef spec ulator its hundreds of thousands of dollars; thus, by a mete stroke of the Cashier's pen, raising tho price of beef to an exorbitant height, ai> that no poor man could buy a pound, and preventing all those for whom bank accommodations are intended, from getting a solitary cent discounted! Surely this was not done for the take of the people ! Was it for tho sake of the people that, by Mr. Biddle's gamblingin Vicksburg and Kentucky Bank stocks, and in Mississippi cotton, the stock of the United States Bank, that was purchased for $l3O, is now down, and .begging for buyers at that, to 8161— Was it for tho Sake of the people that the Schuyl kill bank went ofi in the high road of ruin, and by a false show lured the poor widow and orphan into its foils, so that it might break more jprnJUab'lyt— Was it for the sake.of the people that the city-and some of. the country, banks left their legitimate channels and poured their funds into foreign pro jects, bareing their vaults in speculations, and re fusing to discount a dollar for the industrious me chanic and tradesman? .Was it for the sake of the people that Mr. Biddle was presented with that gorgeous service of silver plate, valued afso many thousands, enough to provide for and clothe hun dreds of those wretched creatures who are shiver ing in the highways and by-ways of our towns and cities? Was it for the sake of the people that a favorite could procure thousands from, a bank, only to run himself into debt to "every .unsuspect ing man; and break with full hands?., , Take care, cunning sirs! You have sung this .sohg*so' often that it is worn out. The theme is a pregrjant and-eloquent orie; but there has been too much unblushing rascality perpetrated under its ample, protection, Robespierre dabbled his hand in blood while screaming “Reason and tho Conatitiitioh Tiililligtnar.: t DESCRIPTION OP WHIG PROJECTS BY , The accounts from Washington state that ah ex-' tra session will be held in May next, in all-prob ability,,to lay the foundation of the financial policy of the now. administration. The present policy appears to be to magnify, in every possible way the indebtedness of the present Government. For this.purposo the letters from Washington ate filled with the most 'absurd statements of debts and de ficiencies, the amount of which they swell to near 810,000,000.-’ This fancied debt is to be made the apology for, the most gigantic schemes of specula tion and taxation. The measures to be dismissed at the extra session are an increase of the tariff, a repeal of the Siib. Treasury, a distribution of the public lands, a bankrupt law, and lastly, as if in' mockery of the whole, to consider. the-moans of diminjshing the expenses of the Federal Goyerc ment. , They pretend there is a debt "which must be funded.! This will be a nucleusfor an indefinite accumulation' of a national debt. -. The next pref erence is. that.tho revenue is ; ahort, and must be replenished.. At the same moment the proposition is made to diminish the revenue still further,.by arstributing the proceeds, ofthe public.lands,; in, order io- bolster, tho insolvent State'Government.

Gun Western Mineral Resources, . A recent communication from the War Department to the U. S. Senate, being the report of Dr. King, tlie Unitcil States Agent for the lead mines, contains-much valuable information, in relation to the manner of dis posing of the mineral lands, and to the de velopement of the resources of the mineral region.: According to the report, the miner al region of Missouri and the North-west was already ascertained to exceed the entire arena of the great State of Pennsylvania; and by more recent explorations of (he geologists, Dr. Ovven and- Col. Nicolet, (•** addition to those of Dr. King,) this mineral region was believed to. exceed ■ the ;surface of the two largest States of the Union. It is the most fertile in soil, as; well as- the richest and most extensive mineral region in -the world. Among other valuable mihefals’in this great region -Ure -iron; lead, copper and zinc. In lead the quantity produced had augmented fromSSS.OOO lbs. in 1825,t0 33,600,000 lbs. in 1839, worth, at New York, 81,500,000. We have thus risen, in less than a quarter of a century,; from nothing to the- third on the lisl of natibhsjwhich produce lead; and at the satiJe ratio, of augmentation;- we^shall, in. twenty attljfthwdoflnaiiw, IwKenpii js -niayi-Mi-W not duly ’ iupply our- own market, but-;that lead vial becume:A;l#d article -of expert.-- Aft to js stilt gvcatei.

When we Consider copper, not only, as a coin for small change, but its many valuable, uses in manufactures, the importance of the subject will.be perceived. The mineral.re gion of copper, lead, , zinc,'magnesia, &c. Extends from Lake Superior until it falls off into the lower altitudes of the Stales of Ill inois, Missouri, and the,Territory of Wis consin and lowa, where the vast coal fields and salt formations commence from the banks of the Ohio to (he iuot of the spurs of .the Rocky Mountains, where you again ascend 'from this great basin into the Ozark chain of hills. It again commences on the borders of the Mississippi and Missouri, taking a south Westerly directibrf, until it unites with the mountains bordering on the Rio del Norte. Throughout-this vast extent are scattered mineral wealth, inexhaustible in quantity, whole mountains of iron ore, &c. At' this time, England is the gjeatest- lead country in the world, producing annually 100,000,000 lbs. while the rest of- Europe does not produce more than 50,000,009. In .seventeen years the United Stales has raised from 6,000,000 to 36,000,000. What, with such boundless resources, may not be antici pated in’seventeen years more? The de velopement of our mineral resources in this great region depends chiefly on improve ments—first, in mining, second, in smelting, and third, in the manner of disposing of the mineral lands; and it was to this last subject that the attention of the Senate was desired, and which, after mature deliberation, it was •• hoped would be finally adjusted at the next session. WHAT DOES IT MEAN f ' Intelligence lias, been ..received in Plnla- , delphia, from the BWtislrWest Tndjcs^stii-' J ting that ordersted'sfime'flhie since reaefieef'' the Islands; from the British Government, to Wthcdialdly discipline 25.000 colored men, as soldiers, in addition to the ordinary col ored militia an.d regulars of the Inlands. —‘ .This movement, in connection’with the con struction of war steamers upon the lakes, and the fact that every third man in Canada is subject toregular militia duty, ahouldei cite the attention of Congress to prepare our frontier and seaport towns for immediate de fence in case of war with Great Britain- The Boundary question both of Maine.and the Oregon territory i the-McLcod case, &c. are not ti) be definitely settled without much difficulty, and the country should beToi tided, in advance of a conflict, that the croakings of that portion of the American press who appear to fear (he power of Great Britain, should be hoofed at as unworthy the notice of the American public.— N. 1. Standard, Lime in Planting Trees. —An English pa per says that a large plantation o( trees, with in the last few years has been funned with out the loss of a single trfee, and this has beep achieved by a simple process; it is merely putting a small quantity of lime in the hole with the plant. About four bushels of lime will suffice fur an acre. It must be thorough ly mixed and incorporated with the mould before the' plant is inserted. The effect of, lime is to push on the growth of the plant in the first precarious state; new - fibres begin to form and ramify, from the taproot, and not only is the safeiy insured, but its growth is advanced in double ratio. There existed at first an.apprehension that liming the plant would force it on prematurely, but this ap prehensipn is proved to have been groundless. 1,498 Valuable Cows. —At a recent Agiicullu ral meeting in. Boston, MV. Colman, the Stale agent, made, the following statement con cerning the improvement of pur Breed of cows: He proceeded to speak of some remarka ble animals of our native,breed which had fallen under bis observation. The Oakes cow, which in one instance made 19J lbs butter per week; an average of more than 16. lbs. per week for three months in succes sion; and 484 lbs. from Ist to .May to .the 30th Decemberin one year, besides suckling a Calf for six weeks; of the Nourse cow, for merly owned by Col Pickering, from which more than 14 lbs. per week were obtained for four successive months; of 'a cow at Stockbridge, which in three successive years made 900 ibs. butter: of a cow owned in -355 lbs. butter in one year: and a cow in North Adams which produced 425'lbs, butter in one year.
