The Gardiner Cabe.— Tho, trial of; Dr. Gardiner
ia fliill pending in the Criminal Court of Ibo Die*
tricl of Columbia. It.will bo recolloclcd Ibal ho was
awarded Iho sum of §428,000, by tho board appointed
to adjudicate claims growing out of Iho war with
Mexico. His claim was baaed upon bia affidavit,
and other papers, that Iho working -of a mine be
owned in Mexico, and yielding him $20,000 a month,
was broken up by tho war. Ho is indicted for par.
jory, and evidence has been adduced to show that
ho never had a mino in Mexico—that ho was simply
1 a traveling dentist in that country, and that the
claim, are forgeries. The present aspect of the
case is against Gardiner.
The evidence, so far as published, goes to show a
most impudent and unblushing, almost avowod
scheme to plunder the people. Sonor Atoohr told
Gardiner "it teas a robbery," to which tho latter re
plied, in substance, " it don't make a bit of difference,
I have got the money and nothing can lako it
away from mo again." This is Iho kernel of the
question —others have made groat hauls out of this
shameful swindle betides Gardiner. Shall they be
forced to disgorge the plunder? Corwin, Mr. Fill
more's Secretary of tho Treasury, is at Ibo triah
anxiously revolving this subject no doubt.

Cuda. —A writer in Harper’s Magazine, in the
course of a series ofSketchcs of Cuba, says that for
more than a hundred and fifty years, that most odi
ous of all despotisms, military rule has prevailed in
Cubs. The Captain General exercises vice-regal
powers, and bolds in his hand the* dispensation of
happiness or misery to the people of Cuba. For
more than a century lax upon lax has been laid up*
on the industry of the island, for the ostensible pur
pose of revenue for the royal treasury, but realty
to fill tho coffees of greedy resident officials.—
The Creoles groan under tho burden, and sigh for
deliverance. Commerce has made them acquainted

CO* Quito an excitement baa been caused in our
borough, says the Eaaton Argus , during the past
week in consequence of an occurrence that took
place between (lie Methodist minister residing hero
and one of our youngjaltorncys. It scorns that the
minister some three or four weeks ago united in
matrimony the sister of the lawyer, a lady of fine
personal appearance though rather too young to as*
sumo tho cares of wedded life, contrary to tho wish
es of her parents, to a Now York’nows boy who has
boon delivering papers hero since tho opening of tho
Railroad. The parents of the lady did not boliovo
for some lime Hint (hey wore married, but finally
avnt Cut (fie minister to enquire. Tho marriage ccr
llficnto having been shown (• him ho acknowledged
it (u bo his and admitted having performed the cor.
emony. On Saturday evening her brother called on
tho minister, and invited him in a courteous manner
to take a walk with him, saying that ho wished to
have some private conversation with him. The
minister consented, and aflcr they had walked three
or four squares, report says, (ho attorney pulled a
cow hide from under his coal and began applying
it to tho back, of his clerical friend, who ran and
retreated into a store. There tho mailer ended. It
is to bo regretted that such things should occur in
an Intelligent community. An attempt to raw hide
a man is contrary to law and therefore It
cannot be justified. But it is also a matter of re
gret that some ministers do not exorcise more judge
ment and discretion in performing the marriage cere
mony. In this instance both parties wore under
eighteen years uf ago, and (ha minister to whom
they applied should not only hays declined (heir re
quest but ho Ntinuhl at nnnn li«v» mml< it kn*«n i v

can President Fierce do all things that will bo pleas-1

restore his speech, however, wero fruitless. They

The poor follow made most awful wry Tacos, and
fairly, squirmed under the torture. 'He's going into

And not until the, crowd wero exhausted did they
give him up to die. 'Gentlemen,* remarked Mac,
'this is one of the most stubborn oases 1 have - over

and I ora not willing to have my, consent to thoefo- - :
alien of the Erie City Dank, regarded os evidence of
a change in my views on this subject.
Nothing that has occurred in this or other coun

held my,assent from the creation of. now.banks, du»
ring the last session of. the has been
calculated lo produce such change) but,on;ihe,con*.
trary, much that'has taken place, in aurroupfliog
Stales, may bo regarded as strengthening my cbnfi
donee and yours, In that polity which looks lo a
reduction ralHer than an extension of,tho paper me
dium'. The enormous influx of goldfrom California
and 'other sources, not only continued; bat sootas
greatly on the Increase over former yoare.ond many
millions hovo thus been added to the motaiic curren
cy of the country. A commercial revulsion,’ however
slight or temporary, cannot pass over wilhoul'dc
monstrating that Pennsylvania is gfoatiy Iho gainer,
by confining the amount of hercirculallng medium
lo the positive demands of a wholesale business.—
Thcrc|is safely in ibis policy, for the merchant. So ac
tual gain to'iho former, Iho mechanic and. laborer.
The.wages oflahor seldom, if ever, advance, on
equal ratio with the enhancement of Iho nominal
value of property, resulting from a superabundance
of money. The condition of the laboring classes in
many sections of the'country, at this lime, affords
a sufficient evidence of the soundness of Ibis position.
So firmly am I convinced of the wisdom.of this, pel*,
Icy, that had Iho measure under consideration in
volved a practical departure, to any considerable
extent, from the ground heretofore occupied on this
subject,' I' should havb returned the .bill wUhqnl-my
sanction, notwithstanding the peculiar, local consid
erations In its favor. But it can'scarcely be regard
ed as a violation of tlio restrictive policy 1 have 1
indicated. • ,
’ ’The institution thus created is represented as a 1
substitution for the old Erie bank. The people, of
the city of Erie scorn to prefer the creation ol a now
bank, rather than the re charter'of iho old one. The
old bank is not asking a revival or extension of its
franchise, but has very properly commenced wind
ing up its affairs. And thus the. city of Erie, pow
more flourishing and extended in' its business opera
tions than at any former period, would bo destitute
of a banking institution of any character. Remote
from monied institutions, at least from those of.our
own Stale, her business men would bo forced to re
sort lo the banks of other Slates for- the transaction
of their business, so for as banking facilities may bo
necessary, and lima throw into circulation a curren
cy less safe and far more objectionable .. than our
own. 1 cah sec no other locality in the Slate pos
sessing business enough to‘require and sustain a
bank similarly circumstanced. what I desire
lo Impress upon you moat distinctly is f that my as
sent Id the charter of the Erie City-Bank shall.not
bo laKon os evidence mat I woultf sanction the cre
ation of now banks hi other localities, and presenting
no such inducement's! and It Is but candid and right
that I shotild''apLy to you, that of all the proposed
banks from which I withhold my assent last winter,
this is the only one which could receive my sanction
arthis time, nnd besides this, the propositions are j
dissimilar, for the capital stock being but HlUe over j
one half the amount asked for at (ho last session.
It may not bo Improper in tins connection to call i
your attention once more to tbs subject of Iho can -,
collation of the rollcMssuos. I regard the withdrawal |
oflhls currency from circulation as the first indis
pensable slop in the rofoimalinn of our paper cur
rency. Pennsylvania, should bo ambitious to lead
her sister Stales iu Iho grqal reform of substituting
a metalie for a paper medium ; but slid cannot li'ojio
to influence this action so long as she sustains In hpr
sovereign capacity the most objectionable species of
paper money.
This salutary reform accomplished, the difficulties
in tbo way of tho substitution of A motaiic for a
paper system, at least as to noles of the smaller do
nominations, would not bo insurmountable. ■ By a
progressive action oh the subject, beginning with
pin firm „and .-UioamC
fow years might bring round a thorough reformation
of our mixed system. I believe (his to bo the true
policy of the country—one which would etrongthon
and protect our agricultural, manufacturing and
commercial interests in their rivalry with those of
other countries. 1 believe it will bo wise for Penn
sylvania lo odopt this policy, even though her sister
Slates refußO to join in this work—for it will ulti
mately make her rich at (heir expense. |
Id conclusion, gentlemen, allow mo to express the
hope that before tho final adjournment of the Gen 1
cral Assembly, efficient measures may bo adopted to
cancel tho relief notes now in circulation.
WM. BIGLER.
Executive Chamber t Harrisburg, April 5, 1853.
From tho Washington Union,
MEXICO.
As wo noticed on Thursday, this distracted coun.
try has made, it would seem, a last desperate effort
towards the maintenance of her government by in*
viting Santa Anna to assume the reigns of power.—
Tho latest accounts state that ho has accepted tbo
Invitation, and is already .on his way to • Mexico to
undertake bis task. Santa Anna is doubtless a man
of ability—among Mexicans, of pre-eminent ability
—both In military and civil life. Bui his past his
tory clearly demonstrates that ho knows .no other
way of govcrlng Mexico except by despotic authority.
That ho is a man to Cave tbo present cobfodoruto
system of (hot country from tho utter ruin which
monanccs it, may woll.be doubted.
Bo this ak it may, one fact eooms to bo clear;
Judged by hia reported conversations with Escobar,
who was sent to request his rctilrn to Mexico, Santa
Anna carries back to that country an undiminishod
if not aggravated hostility against the, U. Stales.—
•’The northern Vandols" is’ the favorite 'term by
which ho characterizes our citizens, and ho indicates
"resistance to aggression from tho north* 7 os a load
ing principle of his future policy. All (his, if per
aisled in, is as unpromising for tho future stability
oflho Mexican government os it is inauspicious to
(ho continuance of ftiondiy relations bolwocn two
governments, whoso commercial and territorial In*
(orests are so interlaced as'thoso of Mexico and' (ho
United Slates. This will appear the more deafly to
those who bear in mind tho tendency of Santa Anna's
atowod hostility to (his country la subject hlmand
hia government to all (ho disastrous Influences of
European intrigue and aggfeosion. It la tho trans
fer to Mexico oftlial jealousy of,American influence
which has made the coterminous republics of South
ern and Central America the enemies of each other,
and has thus exposed them to all tho perils of trans
atlantic interference. . ,
M Is not denied (hattho experience of Max
loo and of moat of tbo Ilispano American republics
on this continent has hitherto , suggested more of
apprehension than of hope to the friends of free in>
dilutions. ..They have been but 100 frequently bar
rassod by revolutions ond border hostilities succeed
ing oaol) other in rapid succession, and with them
tho groat problem of self government has received
but an imperfect and inoffooluarsoJullon. This fact
has been too often oiled in derogation of tho political
capacity oflho Spanish raco. ft should bo remem
bered that, of all tbo European colonies upon this
tho United States and Brazil alone cstab.
lishod their independence by q revolution which wad
political only, and not social. In tho caso of tho
other governments on ' this continent, independence
was attended or followed by tho.anfranohisDmo'ni of
tho subject race. This was specially. the caso in
Mexico and in Central America; and in ithoso re
gions (ho spirit of anarchy has most prevailed. In
Brazil tho same disturbing oauso; has not existed,
ond.tholr.govornnioqthaß peon comparatively, order
ly and stable. Tho seif styled philanthropy of (hq
day may find In those facts Iho subject qf profitable
reflection. ' • ‘ *
