It is tiine for the people of the United
Slates to wake up to the danger of the. new
public debt which-the Federalists allege to
exist in order to get a pretext for creating it.
Forty millions of dollars is the most usual
amount at which this pretended debt.is now
stated; and, it may be assumed that that'is
the amount which the Federalists require
for.the„foundaliun.of a new Rational Bank,
and the rc-cummcnccment of the funding
system among us. The allegation of an ex
isting debt ul forty millions has been regar
ded by the public too much in the light of a
mere invention, to calumniate the past Ad
ministration. ‘ It is indeed an invention, and
calumny of thc Democracy was one of its
objects; but it would-be’a fatal- delusion to
suppose’ that it was merely a . calumny, and
limited to the solepurpose of injuring those
mawi objects of the. fabrication* It is to
make good' tyh'at they say—to create what
they allege, fo exist—to build up a debt of
forty millions—‘that they have ventured up
on this foul'calumny lT Like the, federalists
in Hamilton’s .time, whose first maxim’ was
I that a public debt 'was a-public blessing; and
whose first carts was to create a national
debt by assuming the State debts—like these
old Federalists are the new of the present
day, who now, wield the destinies of 'the
country. That the people may not consider
this"pi etended debt as an empty calumny,
leading to no consequence but defamation
of the iniioceiTt, we piean to present them
with the formal account of it presented in
the House ofßepresentatives by that arch-
Federulist, Mr. Bahnahd, of New York,.anil
let them see that he and his party arc in
earnest in their design to saddle these forty
millions upon the country, and that the cx»-
Ira session—a fit occasion for such a work—
will be the time for consummating it. With
this view/we here quote the items of this
debt from the revised speech of Mr. Barn
ard, published both in the Intelligencer and
in the Globe. The following is the extract
from'this speech, pompously headed— •

two millions, composed of a grcat-lnany

Three millions of Florida claims consti
tute another item of this national debt. A
part or these claims may be well founded,
perhaps to the amount of a fraction of a mil
lion; the rest come under the description of
the’two milliitps mentioned above.
Another iteiiTof five millions is made up,
by taking the annuities payable to the Indi
ans, (about $600,000 per annum,) and con
verting them into a capital of five millions,
and then counting this capital as debt due
from the United Slates to these Indians on
the first day of January last! Two other
items-for Indians,- amounting together to
$3,850,000, are also included as debt due
to then),.when part of the amount is sheer
fabrication; and (he rest is an interest, the
npnual amount of which only is to be paid.

—the heavy Imposition of duties on imports
—the-revivalof internal improvements—the

A curious illustration ofthisdncc occurred
in-Western Illinois.,,,"A young funner had
been settled, for, a few years there, and had
selected for his residence a beautiful spot
near the banks of tlie Wabash, and erected
■a very, neat little farm house. As the neigh*
borhood; >yas very quiet, it.tvas frequent for
-Whole.families to go visiting, leaving;the
house to take care of itself, barely, taking the
precaution-to turn the key in the door. :it
was that'bcauiiful.season'ih: autumn imme
diately following-the harvest, ,when the far
mers’; hearts, as well as their labors, are
lightest, and being a, pleasant evening, far
mer S. and his young wife had gone out to
neighbor W’s, to attend a little, frolic. It so
happened that, in thegray of the evening,
just when “the glimmering landscape began
to fade from sight,”; an; Irish emigrant,, one
of the first that had made his appearance in
that region with his, family, 'fortune, wife,
pigs, goods, chattels, amfan fact all of his
worldly substance,- stowed away within the'
boundaries.of one of, those long,-.travelling
wagons, then a novelty, butrinw as common
in the West, as’hackney coaches in the
Strand, drove along the roadi - Having halt

made his necessary preparations fur the nigh t,
Pat thought he would make some explora
tions in the-vicinity, and seeing the cottage
of fanner S. through the trees, he thought he
would go in and . make some enquiries as to
the. siltlemcnt. ;
Having advanced to the house, and finding
iio drie dt home, and every thing’ being ap
parently deserted, the heart of the poor wan
derer leaped.within him like a frog at"the
sight of St. Patrick, and he really thought
tlie promised, land, to "a house already , pre
i’pnred’ftir his-reception., Ovcr-jovcd, Pat
| hastens back" to the. wagon, where he found
his JJiddy sitting.on. a log, with a half du’Aen
[young .‘exiles of Erin! clamoring.rbund.her

( “11 id cl 3'! Biddy!” says Fat, giving a leap

to be said, so Johnny taking in his arms the
two weest little ’uns, and Biddy leading by

they trotted oil’to, the house.

Johnny sat' in the corner comfortably smo

A BIT f OF ROMANCE.
We find in thVCi.ncinnati Times an ac

She is now an applicant before the, Ohio
I [AT TWO DOLLARS PER ANNUM. *
i Legislature for a divorce,' and resides in
Newark,,Ohio.SJie, Ura native of Lock
. purt.N. Y. She was'triarri.ed in 1829 to a
: man'by the name of Herrick, with whom
she liyed about three'jears,'when by, dissi
! patiuri and idleness on his part they were
reduced to want, antf’fhe husband was obli
ged to leave his home to seek employment.
He Went to Cincinnati, where lie rctnained
sOme time, and (hen took it into his head to
go to Texas. Herrick wrote to Ins wife at
Lockport, requesting her to remove to Cin
cinnati; that she might be nearer liiiri when
he was itTTexas, and she left Lockport for.
Ciniinpati.' At Cleveland her means failed
her, and'slip was obliged to throw herself
into the kitchen of ahotel,’ to procure nion
e,y to continue her journey.' While in this
situation she accidentally became acquaint
ed with a gentleman from Columbus, who
discovering that her accomplishments and
.education were those of a lady, who must
have known better days, became interested
in Her behalf. _ She laid her case before him,
and asked his assistance in procuring a
school, that she might earn the necessary
means to follow’her husband.' He request
ed her to come to Columbus, she came, and
the gentleman procured her a small school.
Phis was ip 1835. While teaching school,
she. became ill,’ and was .confined to her

her, arid fold her he was, just from Texas,
and tout her liusband.dicd in that country,

They were married; ' . ,

Newark, where-she lived withhirii,.enjoying
as much.happiness, as human flesli is heir to,
until last -Novembcr=—when suddenly hor
first husband,. Mr. Herrick, appeared, ami
.claimed her asViis wife. This wasa trvTng
scene fora pious and virtuous woman;'she
flew to.the, pastor of her church for advice,
he advised her to seclude herself from both
until such a time as the marriage contract
with one of them could be annulled. This
she did, and she immediately applied to the
legislature for a divorce from her first hus
band, .
Mrs. Herrick is represented as a lady of
great mental, arid (icrsonai accomplishments,
and uudeviating piety. She has never had
any children by either husband.
I have spojeen hSretufore with some levity
of the contrast that exists between the Eng
lish and French character; but it deserves
more serious consideration. They are the
two great nations of modern times most di
ametrically opposed, and most worthy.of
each other’s rivalry: essentially distinct in
their characters, excelling in-oppnsite qual
ities.-and reflecting lustre on caclr other by
their very opposition. In nothing is this
contrast-more- strikingly evinced than in
their military conduct. Fur ages have they
been contending, rind for ages have they
crowded each other’s history with acts of
splenditLhcroism.; ' ■ .
Take the battle of Waterloo, for instance,
the last and most memorable trial of their
rival prowess. , Nothing could surpass the
brilliant daring on the one,side, and the
steadfast enduring tm~ the other. The French
cavalry broke like waves.on-the compact
sq tares of English infantry. They were
seen’galloping round thusc's'crried walls of
men, seeking in vain for an entrance,
ing their, arms in the air-in the heat of tlriTir
enthusiasm, arid braving the Winkle front ol
battle. The .British troops other
hand, forbidden, tti inovc or firg/stood firm
and enduring.. Their columns were ripped
up by canonry. w h (de rovvs'Were swept down

Waterloo grow green above Iris grave! and
happier far'would be the fate of such a spir

.when Gaul and Briton, hemmed in between
narrow walls, hand to hand and foot to foot,
fought from garden tq court-yard, from

concentrated rivalship. Columns of smoke
turned from this vortex of battle, as from a
volcano; "it was,” said my guide, , “like a

broad spots of green,still
marked the places where these rival warri

" From the Wheeling Argus... ,
Flie announcement of, the death of (he
President of the United States will produce
a pause in (lie current thoughts of the most
heedless amongst us. He who watches the
sparrow when it falls, prescribes the actiotr
and the term of man’s existence, however
obscure or exalted.hbtvever humble or prom
inent; and when an individual, sustaining
the relations which this prominent man did,
is suddenly, snatched fro hi his honors, his
position, and his relations,of life and office,
the mind will muse upon his fate, and evefv
one for hiniseVf wilhdraw-his. own.. moral.—

. While riding from his farm into, Cin.cin- ‘
nati, his Jiorse-was precipitated through^a
deep hole, and he himself with difficulty es
caped, destruction. On leaving Cincinnati
the papers announced the tremblings of an
earthquake, and the explosion of the bank

On the day of ids arrival at Washington,
the national motto fell from thetalons of the
Eagle .of Liberty in- the Senate chamber.—
The motto is, “ F.pturibus unvpi” one Go
vernment out-of many, the pledge of ourU
niun; and at the same time the hand of the
Goddess of Liberty in front of the Capitol,
bearing in it the Constitution of the United
Stales, broke off and fell.
His friends at Washington had stretched
a cord across the avenue, bearing the flags
of'the Stales which had'voted the Whig
ticket, which broke about the centre and
fell North and South, and were dragglcd-in
the mire. And one month from the day of
the,inauguration the seal of death is placed
upon his form in the Presidential mansion.
We must think (here is something in these
tilings. Divinity speaks, with most miracu
lous power and vindicates his truth. The
people of (he United States have passed
through a period of phrensy in which all so
cial relations were violated, moral duties
forgotten, and religious-forms almost aban
doned. All look back upon the period with-'
astonishment, and many with awe., to vfice
the gulf of civil-commotion which Aw'have
escaped. Every passion of the JitSart was
aroused, everyipiejudiec was incited, and
one wild shout & hui;rah .through- '
out the land; there was union of ’
supposed interests, and-ti still stranger com
bination of parties; tlfese are now all dissol
