'Plio mass of our citizens, we believe, do not wish to bo considered in the light of rcpudiationisls, and ■would cheerfully pay their just proportion of taxes, jf by so doing they could see, however distant, an •‘end to the debt. But as this is out of tho question, so long as tho magnitude of the interest clone is more than sufficient to swallow up tho means of . tho people, .and as even that cannot bo paid with ■ nut doubling the present enormous taxos, it is ab solutely ridiculous to suppose that the prineip it •can ever bo paid by such means. The only alter natives, then, presented to the Legislature, are re pudiation on the ono hand, and a .sale or lease of the improvements on the other. What course the Legislature pray take in the matter, remains to be scon—but png thing is certain that so long as the improvements remain as they aro,’ Co increase of taxation Will be submitted to.

Theyrcmaincdin session at eight dollars per day until they had barely time to travel -.home at the same high rate of ‘mileage, attend to their private business for a few days, and then travel back again at the same rate. Having no hope that President Tyler will,be induced to summon nn Extra’Session, they, seem determined to extend ’ the regular one through the Whole summer.

" They attacked the national credit by dividing and’throwing array the public-domain; they rushed to the repeal of the Independent Treas ury law, before any practicable plau .had been de vised to take itar place; they passed a Bankrupt law, excepting from its operation the swindling corporations, for which it was most needed; they raised thd tariff, increased the national debt, and are now'aeekihg to strikedowntho Army and Navy, at a most critical moment in the condition of our foreign relations. They persevere in leaving our national finances without any regulation, because they cannot ride over an incorruptible President and fasten npon the country' a great bank and a moneyed oligarchy, which, above all tjtipga,- the people detest,■ ;-.1 Wd do not mean dur censure, to he indiscriminate, Tliere are many: groat and good men in Congress; Jiutithey.aro-ovorpbwored by unprincipled-factions and-combinations that are willing to sacrifice the nation for party purposes. Such a state of things is the result of the unwholesome excitement and lamentable debauchery of the public mind which was produced during the canvass of 1840.8ut it will not bo withoyt its usns; it will develops great evils,, and in the end will bring about salutary re form. From this year the cry .will go forth for a reduction of the pay and mileage of members of Congress, and for reform in our national-legislation; and in due time this cry will bo heeded—the de mands of tiro people will bo obeyed. --agrTho-pooplo- wore told-againTand again by the Democratic press, during the campaign of 1810, that if they entrusted the Federalists with power they would most assuredly have cause to regret it;, for the reason that the leaders of that parly never got into power but to abuse, is their history from the reign of‘the elder Adams down to tho present day. A majority of tho people, however, determined to listen to the lying oracles,of ; Coon skin Federalism in their promises of “reform,” and the truti Democracy of tho country submitted with out a murmur to the expressed will of tho majority., Wo adyiso those of our readers who wore led astray by the lying promises of Federalism, to contem plate the condition of the country noiv in tho second year of tho adrniiiistratbnthev.uusisUvl-in-plne.ivm power, -the picture of which is presented in tho foregoing article! and then contrast it with the comparativclySflourishing condition tiro nation was left in by Mr.’Van Buren. , In- conclusion,- Wo ask them to say'whether tlioy have not boon most egre giously—ayo villainously decciyed by those who seduced them from tho support of a Democratic administration! • .

Members seem to, be vicing with each other in their efforts to pull down these two great arms of our. National defence, and that, too, at a time whoti an increase of their strength is much more necessary than its diminution. We are engaged in what may'bo considered a final attempt to 'settle by hegociation our difficulties with England, which may end in War- We know our own side of the question,but we do n,ot know what may bo the British demands and exactions ad regards 'the State Debts, &o. Wgst of Missouri and Arkansas wo have upwards of COjOOO Indian Warriors, all of whom hatq-us, and against whom we have sortie thousand miles of frontier to protect. Our army at no tinio num bers more than 10,000 men in actual Service.—, Surely under these circumstances, it is a mad or mistaken policy that Would dictate a reduction of the Army and Navy. If Congress could learn how universally, and without-regard to party, its course in this matter is condemned by the people, we think itsTnombcrs would.stop theit rash course, or first show their sincerity in the work of retrench/- ment by reducing-their own'daily pay artd tho lom* list of perquisites thatacqompany if. Wo make'the following extract from the,Bab timoro Sun,- which wo think accords in, the main with, the opinions of {ho people not only of this Distfict but throughout the State; ' The An»iv axd Navv— The people of the coun try are very generally satisfied thatPresidentTyler, his cabinet, and those who have been termed, in party phrase, his “peculiar friends,”' are in favor of invigorating the navy and "sustaining'the army of the country. It,is hold that “the right arm of pur national defence” ought not only not to bo paralyzed, but that in- distributing “the sinews of war,” that same arm ought to bo taken .into the account on a generous, scale;' ‘Whether the army, which has been lately christened the left arm, in contradiction to the right, .ought’to bo'weakened, seem's to ns to be no question^,tall; it is now so weak, that those who would fidn-d&luce it to a state of still greater, debility, are obliged, to use argujnepts that,-if car ried out to their legitimate sequences, would cut it off nearly altogether. We are not the very panic-. ular friends of “a standing army in time of peace,” but' we pretend-to, the possession of somg small matter of common sense, and a trifle of patriotism; and, prompted by the one and guided,.by the other, wo-would have, our national authorities see to it, that no paralytic affection shall seize upon either, arm of our national defence. In truth, we do 'qot believe that there is if} the country a single intclli cent person—oven if intelligent only inrespect toi this matter, and nnprej udic/il —who would not go heart and. soul for any constitutional measures that would increase the efficiency of the navy; nor would they diminish the strength of the army, even though they might-refuse to increase it. This same array itself is, so far as numbers are concerned, hardly worthy of the name. It might be, in this point of view, a very respectable armyfor one of the Swiss Cantons; but forjhis Union of States, with its ter ritories, it is by no means eithera thing to bo-I)rag ged about by vain-glorious, or an object to bo feared by those friends of ,civil liberty, who look with distrust on standing armies. Whence then comes the spirit that-would give us'the shadow of .an army, and navy without tho subStancel Is it party spirit! .It so, then it proves itself dcstl tutd of what has been; hitherto considered, patriotism, and whiph has'not ceased-to :be generally so con sidered yet. The Country, has in fact become alarmed'of by recent Congressional ’demon strations in 'relation to the army and navy,and the people will ' find out the reasons for them-sooner or later, r It has been given opt eemi-oflicially. to say die least,", that there is' yet danger of.awar with ■ England; and the constituents of.members of Cotf-: gross will, in due season, ask: why even fho ap pearance shouUkho mad* of. a desire to enfeeble the: arnj.of the national/ government, through the army andnatfy! Oh 'this subject wo h avc certain -vs ■ir - •' :‘.v notions of our own, which we may possibly, and, if occasion,should require, will certainly cxhibit .to the public;' at this time, however,' we do not deem it hbcossary to develops such a largo amount of “wrath and cabbage” as we see served up. on the public table by certain caterers for the public appe tite; who would.give away tho “sinews’,’- ‘of; the army and navy, and of the civil service nlso, and thencomplain of the weakness consequent op tho abserioo of tho necessary nutriment. If wo are not most decidedly mistaken, a political gamo is now playing, tho movements of which, when developed, ■as they will be, will teach the people of thd United States a'lesson, profitable ■if properly used, but which will in all prbbability be just about at profit able as—as any other political lesson heretofore taught them, apd no more,'' U@?“The Hon.
