i CC/The Pennsylvanian suggests that, instead of the
..Legislate holding an extra as is contcmp.la
ted, for the purpose, of arranging tho Congressional
districts according to tho new apportionment, a law
should be passed pbstpdriing ’thc election pf members
of Congress .until October 1843.- Tho Congressional
delegation will then be clected._beforo ite services are'
required; for there is no piobability of, an extra session
of the national legislature—and pvon if such an emer

for ’ a special election, at much less cost to tho Hlato
than would be required, far an extra scssfoii of tho
State Legislature. ,
We approve of tho above suggestion—particularly
as "the<public have,had as much as they want of extra
sessions, and wish no more of them either for this or

MARYLAND. BANKS!
The.Caltimoro. Am ericai j of Wednesday week, says:
—ln. consequence of the disagreement between the
two.Hoiiscs of the State Legislature, oh the subject of
fixing a day for the resumption of specie payments by
the Qanks of Maryland, and • the probability .that .no
act in relation to it would, under the circumstances,'
be passed at the present session—:lho bonks in •Balti
more have taken the matter inJidhd for tho purpose of
having an early and .certain, day J-fixed by law. Wo
learn thot at'a meeting of the officers of tho several
banking institutions of Baltimore, held yestciday e
vening, it was resolved to : transmit a communication
to tho Legislature of Maryland,,to .tho cficctlhat tho
banks would bo really to resume specie payments on
thojlrst of August next; or, that they would resume
sixty cfof/5, prpvided tho Legislature authorizes them
to issue and two dollar notes, to an amount not
exceeding fiyeqicr cent, of their respective capitals.—
And further, should, the State make an arrangement,
,for an early payment of its indebtedness to the banks,
,thcn resumption would follow a tv, the earliest possible
onoment—say within twenty daysV
A committee of five, viz; J. J. Speed, Thoa. O
Jenkins, G. W. Lurraah, Chas. Howard, .and James
George, Esqrs., were appointed to proceed to Annapo
lis, to communicate tho propositions to the Legislature?
&J* Tho Whigs got into power by promising to re
duqo the expenses of the Government to thirteen mil
lions,. Mr, Cloy has'just said in tho Senate that they
must tax tho people so asjto raise TWENTY-SIX
MILLIONS of revenue frora f imports to meet the ex
penses, after giving away the public lands.
Mr. Sprigg, a Whig member of*tho House from
Kentucky,,suid the other day that, the Whigs had be
lled all the promises upon came into pow
er, They had denounced the extravagance of the for
mer Administration, and had exceeded it-themselves
>beyond.all'preccilcnt; they had disclaimed a national
.debt, and hgd made one of seventeen millions- the first
year. Ho stated that by the report of tho Secretary of
tho Treasury there were, upwards of SEVEN MIL
LIONS OP DOLLARS outstanding In, the fiands pf
disbursing officers unaccounted for? which was unex
ampled ; and this is the. conduct of an Administration
thot got into power by denouncing defaulters. Mr.
Sprigg also frankly denied that the iato President was
responsible for tho expenditures, which were forced
had“always gone be
yond the eatimates^of ; Mr. ‘Sprigg
further said that lie was to hold -up ihq
Whig party before tfie country, and lash them for, their ‘
departure icom and'viotylion of, tho; principles, profoT
-spd'by thom before thcy.got hito power.

THE BOROUGH ELECTION.
Tho ensuing Borough election, particularly as it
gards Council men, is matter of considerable impor
tance at this time. During tho, past year two afreets
were paved, one of which was altogether ■unnecessary
—being merely for the accommodation of two or three
, individuals Wjmhappcji to , own property in that ob
scure and almost uninhabited part of the town. Tho
Council, it is Raid, also frittered away some S4QO for tho
compiling and publishing-a blundering j*hd useless
history of tho Borough, which benefited nobody ex
cept the compilers and publisher. These things ought
to be enquired into, inasmuch'as tho people are taxed
heavily for Borough purposes each year—and it is of
groat importance,that tho money so, raised .should bo
judiciously appropriated. Betides, ’ there are some
portions of tho town, the soudiern and eastern sections
particularly, where no money has been appropriated
for years, and where repairs to tho streets and alleys
are manifestly needed. Look, for instance, at the al
leys leading to some oTour public, schools—they it>
almost impassable in wet, weather.
Tho remedy .1 would suggest for these evils, is far
the people td elect an entirely new. Council of disin
tertsicH citizens, who will probo the abuses to tho bot
tom, and expend tho public funds only on Works of
undoubted utility.

as tho will ‘ot the people, when expressed, is for a time
irrevocable, might it hpt bo well for them to think
twice on this subject, before, they act once, in so raafi
and ruinous a manner to llirir own interests! ' I would
advise all tax-payers to remember tiro old ‘saying
“Take lime and think about it.' 1

to complain of the inefficiency- of our laws—eomo of
which have been, too Jong, “dead-letters.”
Mr. Sxjrnjijaojf:—-Knowing .the depravity of man
kind, I can overlook some vices, and make 'allowance'
for youthful recklessness; bpt I do abominate tho-prao
tise-7-pity and compassionate the individual, who, re
gardless of immorality or vice, will dare tolreujt the
holy sanctuary as though it were a ball-n otn or iMitre'
Even this might bo tolerated in‘those who have never
had the opportunity of being better taught; but when
it appears in those who would bo thought learned, it
must be frownedfUpon by a Christian people.

than choice, occupied a scat in the gallery of the Meth

and I might add, brainless young men. I, with many
of jhoso around me, went to church to be benefited by

rnE.TAiUFF. —The question of the revision of the
Tarifl islikcly soon warmly agitated in Con
gress. The notes of preparation. have been for son e'
time sounding. -Thera will probably be three parties,
one for excessive protection, another for that which is
moderate, and a third for hone at all.
-This matter has been, too Jong and tie violently
controverted. Our policy has been top fluctuating.
It IS-the port of tmowisdomnow to endeavor to settle
the question on a stable and permanent basis.
'This cannot be done by adopting the restrictive
principle as,a uniform nile of policy,.basing it upon
tho doctrine of shutting ourselves up in a cell, and re
fusing to send, our Commodities those countries
which are anxious to receive them and to give their
own in return. Nor can it be done by assuming as a
correct principle,‘that trade irte be unrestrict
-°d qn bur part, wjille foreign nptiona embarrass it,’to
£uit their mistaken ,notions of policy. '
' The.only arrangement which is likely to jjoperma
nenUy aeguiesMd in, appears to be one which shall
recognise the'.principles for which both parties, con
tend, and’brfpg-thom Into harmony. .Recognize the
doctrine Of the nOn-restiictionist, that free trade '-lib.
tween all nations is tho best policy for all mankind!
and recognise, too, the doctrine of Iha rcstrictionist,
that it is. right for us to do something to counteract the
restrictive poliejnof other countiies. ’
The result would bepa system nob invariable towards
sll nations, but" one frvorable tejhose; who, will be fi-
orid resttictive towardsSlhoob who ere
rra'trictlve' towatde us. " Then; while} we'-give tie
counteraction.tor which the rcstrfriicnislcontends, wo
shell hold out the ofior of that mutual free trade which
•tjie anti-rcstrictionUt advocated .!
‘ Me* Qlay, as we see, propps’eqin iriodifying the tar
iff* to,repeal that provision of the. hill.for distributing
the proceeds of the public lands, which requires that
the .distribution shall cease wheriOyer thff duties .ere
raised above twenty per cent, trust beinayiriot
be’successful .in this, and that tho democrats will
sent a united .front of - opposition. That the nation
should raise money from tho people for tho purpose pf
returning it to-tho. States, seems of itself strikingly un
reasonable; seen it supported by even
a plausible argument.— Pennsylvanian. .

TIIHL Trustees are gratified -in assuring the pub
■i-lic, that tire, peculiar organization of this insti
tution! nas realized ail tile valuable purposes an
ticipated by its friends. ..last -four
years, some fifty or pupils have been receiv
ing constant instruction df lhe most useful and lib
eral sort. It is found; that by keeping the depart
ments distinct from each other, the cyils and in
conveniences of large establishments are avoided,
tviiilo the benefits of both large and small are se
cured. .Every pupil has tho immediate attention
and supervision of some one of the instructors
1 ho union too, of tho schdnies of boarding—with
day schools, combines the advantages of both,,
while the disadvantages of oach are.avbided.
. Mrs, STEVENS, has takenJarge,and commo
dious rooms with tho-view of extending the de-
PtVtipont underlet cpre, both in regard to Board
ing and. Day Scholars. This, in addition to the
facilities heretofore afforded,presents ncw induco
ments for an extended patronage.
Ills confidently believed, that the moans, here
presented,- for the attainment of a thorough educa
tion, substantial and ornamental—accordingto the
most modern and approved plans— at a che'ap rate
—in the various Departments of this Institution
are no where surpassed.
