One of the meat Interesting features oftlie American political system, ami tlie ene which Involve its ftimlumunlnl idea, Is tlie relation of tlie states with ouch oilier ntid with Uiugcnur.il govern ment. It la tlie wonder of foreigners thai these distinct sovereignties 3ome tlieni empires in extent of domain ami In wealth of resetitcca ciui be held together in one nationality, anil lhat tlie even balance of the centralizing and cen trifugal forces lias thus far been main tained, without en the ene hand a de struction of siatcu' rights or en the ether an utter disruption of tha ligament that binds Uieui together. Free trade and free migration between the different commonwealths that make up the Union unqucdtleimbly conservo the national spirit and soften the nsperlties of sec tlennl feel I n thai must otherwise have ensued from the widely different condi tions of climate, product, resources and original setllemctit characterizing the various states. It is doubtful whether in the absence of statistics and by simply nuking local observations the common miud would appreciate the magnitude and cerres pending Inlluence of the interstate mi (rations, its presented in the last census reports. Whilu the foreign born and native population of the United States number respectively 0,(179,01:1 and 10, 473,S10, it Is te be observed that of the latter 9,5!). tee. or considerably mere than twenty par cent., reside iu ether states aud territories from these in which they were respectively born ; and considering the fact that net only great geographical distances but tlie widest variations of character and temperament separate tlie characteristic types of the different state,", it is astonishing hew lit tle attention li;vs been given te the study of the influence of iutcrstate migrations as compared with that of foreign imml. graUen,tliB Increasing influx of which is viewed willi such apprehension in some quarters. It has lu pii &e much the fashion among the Pilgrim descendants te arro gate te their ancestors all the vittues of the country aud te themselves the diffu diffu sien of these blessings among the states that the influence of New Hngland h:is been regarded as about the only ene worthy of note in determining Hie moral and material welfare of ether common wealths. An observant writer in the Philadelphia Times, in a thoughtful article recently quoted in these columns has pointed out what an insignificant part New England lias phijeu, lela lively, iu peopling some of the Motions pepuJ.uly credited te its influeiite; and a study of tlie fatalistic of the shifting of population freui ene slate te another is interest ing an 1 profitable iu many ether resptcls. The evenness with which the lelatieu peimautMit im migrant and emigrant iopul,ilien is maintained iu tlie laiger stales is illustrated in tlie fact that New Vmk, Pennsylvania, Ohie ami Illinois held their respective llrst, tucud, third and femth places uel only iu tel.il p ipu ipu lalien, but in the number of their own citixeus living witbiu theii berdeis, in the number nt natives of the country new counted iu their clti.fusliip and iu tlie numbjr given te the whole country ; while Mtsseim, nith iu pepu latlen, iseleventli in its contiibutlen te the citizenship of the country, and in respect te the number of eiti.-tw iesid lug en its own soil ; and Mutsichu t! ., sjventh iu population, ii fourteenth i-i the number cmtrib re 1 l IV u.l!.'t ship of thoemiitry. It is, of cjurae, net aiteniahing in learu tiiat the New Krigl.tt.d and MtdiKe stales, generally, have given nnreth.ri tliey have received and that with the Western states, except Ohie, the loverso U the case. New Yerk has received most from Pennsylvania, and IVnnsjl vania meat fiem New Yeik ; and each of these two great states has given the largest Mhare of its residents net native.-, te their common neighbor, New der soy. Delaware, Miry laud aud Ohie have each leceived nnre population from Peuusjlvaiila than from any ether state , as Is natural from their propinquity but while the New England states hae contributed most 1 irgely te each ether or te New Yeik, New Yeik has given the greatest number te Michigan and Illinois ; Pennsylvania te Ohie, Illinois and Iowa ; Maryland te Pennsylvania, Ohie ami Illinois; Virginia te West' Virginia, Missouri and Ohie.

Senater S.ihln, the Heinibllcan na tlenal coinmlttee cbniruian, wants tlie payment of the national debt le ccimj, n fifty ear two per cent. Iwnd te be issued te furnish n basis for the national bank currency, these Institutions te be re lieved from the payment of the ene per cent. tax and the bends being therefore nude te them equivalent te a three per per cent. Investment, That plan will Milt the banks. Chairman lltickner, of the Heuse committees does net see the benetlt of centlnniug the debt for the sake of con tinning the national banks. Aud when the debt is paid off he sees that the banks must cease te eist as national batiks by reasn of there being no bends te set ve as the needed guarantee for their clieu latlen. Mr. ltuckner under these cir cuinstances leeks te an issue of tre.isurj notes directly by the government te take the place of bank notes .is currency. The Interesting question for the pe pie is why the nation should pay two or khiee percent, upon the paper currene it uses for the purpose of induci"-; the banks te Issue it ? The foiled States treasury always has specie iu its vaults te auswer as a basis uieu which te issue notes payable en demand in specie. Why then should it pay banks te issue such notes Y 'a ccitumly should net maintain a debt te enable the national banks te Issue currency. There may be reasons urging the nen-paj ment of the government bends, but this is net one of them. Treasury notes based en the coin in the treasury, redeemable en demand at lliesub-treasuriesnnd mints, aud net nudcalwgal tender, will give us quite as geiMl a paper currency as that we have from the national banks and piebably butter iu ene regard at least the government would hardly ke-p In circulation the llltliy paper we new aie cursed with, spreading Infection in its path, but would adept tlie iule of the Hank of England, which uever leissucs a note when returned te It. This ex travagance in new circulating paper is one that the people will gladly pay for, but which banks that issue their circula tion for profit only will never be guilty of. Ter tills one sin against the public sji)S) ami safety, bank currency is w Tthy of condemnation. - L.V-.T j tar'b bills paid aud a lul.mce in iue ireisiiry wrn vwiteu te oegui lsi aie the host iiicvutivi's te a happy new jcir.

One of the results of this great triumph of modern fchelandiip has been the recovery of lest languages the Accadian aud Absyriau, buried for 0,000 years; with their libraries anel literature, preserved ou baked clay tablets, as ui.iuy as 10, WO of theiit 111 a single library. These literary treasures are of inestimable value, they include copies or originals dating be fore Abraham and their contents befur re covered are three limes greater 111 extent than the Old Testament Al though this science is jet In its iiilaucy, the kinship of the As.syri.in with the Hebtew and the close historical telatioiisef tbcte races has eu ablcd A.ssynolegy te shed Itht en many a daik plac? iu the Old Testament, in spite of tlie exhaustive study devoted te the Ilubtew many words in it aie as yet of very doubtful ineatiiug, especially these which occur rarely. Hereafter no Hebtew dictionary cm be written without making the fullest use of the aids aliorded by thu Atsytiau.

In conclusion, Dr. Cast ttaccd thu con nectien between Assyriu'u monuments aud the history of Israel , these people came into early contact, and as the names and titles of tlie Assyrian and Babylenish rulers mentioned in the Scriptures are feutid iu the ouueifurui inscriptions, se most of the kings of Israel and Judea, from Jehu onward, are named iu the annals of the Assyrian and Babylonian kings. Au illustration of this interesting study by comparison was given iu the case of Saigon, king uf Assyria, named in Isaiah xx : 1, for the only time iu the Scriptures, nor ever mentioned by any ancient writer, oxeopt Isaiah. This singular silence was naturally per plexing te scholars. Hut It is new known that Sargeif was the king who iu 722 H. C. succeeded Shalmaiieser, and iu 705 II. C. was followed by his son Sonnaehorib, aud who unjeyed a brilliant relgu of 17 years. "Hew strange that he, tlie mighty monarch, the successful war rior, the builder of splendid structures, and the magnificent patron of learning and the arts, should be forgotten, and te. main utterly unknown, until his own an nals, covering llfteeu years of bis relgn, wero a few years nge read en the monu ments of Assyria." Dr. Oast's address occupled au hour in delivery ; it was attentively listened te aud highly npprce'atad, and will doubtless be published iu full i 1 sumo of the church lerlodlenls.
