Ildar him. the onlv con.-fi.ition for wounded spirits, com plaining hiiierlv of sorrow surrounding him on cieryside: see the diops of blood with which. o\\ ing to the incredible anguish of his sold, his sacred body is stained; hear the supplications of fered irp with strong crying and tears. 1\ hat was the real cau>c of angui.-h so immense, when hither no hostile bands, no chains, no scourge, no accusers, no judge, no cross, were present —when, on the con ; trarv. In' was in a pleasant garden, at no great dis tance Iroin his faithtul di?ciples ? and you will learn that those very sins which you have hitherto re garded so lightly, were the cause of his unparallel ed sorrows. These very sins now laid on Christ (bv imputation) afilicted and weighed him down, and failed onlv to u\erwhehn him utterly. And can any one presume that either no atone ment is nece.-sur.y. or that a very slight atonement or satisiaction is ?u!iicie#l? Behold..l bei-ceeh you, In hold again and again, the inconceivable bitterness of tho.-'C sufibrings which. Christ endured, when he bore the transgression of his people, in order to ex piate their guilt. To be constantly in the presence of a good per son—of otvi whoic word? and acts tend to purify and elevate—how pleasant and useful it is!— Wc have no disposition to speak an impure wind, to perforin a wrong act. or even think ol evil. The presence of the good is a guardian angel to keep and preserve us from the sins and temptation:- hv w hich we are surrounded. Suppose that being who moves about to bless, should he the companion of our bosoms—the one to whom we can make known our joys and sorrows; what a power,ill iulluence lor good ft would have over our lives! We should rejoice daily in idling how biased goodness is. and be k> elevated in all our thoughts, that it would become a difficult task for us to sin. Woman! can you riot exercise such an iniluencc over your erring husband? Il he loves the company of the idle and partakes of the ine briating glass, cannot you draw him by love and ■ kindness away from sure destruction? _ If his breath is polluted by profane words, who can be so , serviceable as yourself, to break him from his j wicked habit ? * We pray you. let the atmosphere j around you be that of goodness and truth, and yon : will «urdv be ministering angels to save the lost. GEO. SPURRIER, The doctrine of particular Providence, is a doc trine fraught with the greatest consolation of man kind, who are born to sorrow. Not only is it. that nothing can happen but what God permits—nothing can happen but what God enjoins. The notion ol God should not be. that he has lit up the sun, and given the winds power to roam through the world; but rather'that his glance is in every beam, and his breath in every- breeze. The idea- should not be entertained, that after having given life to men, God concerns Himself no more with his creatures; but rather that through his special interference is if that breath follows breath,arid pulse succeeds pulse; so that in every trouble and in every joy—in every hope which rises to cheer, and in every doubt which darkens, the hand of God may be discerned, pro ducing out of a thousand seeming ills, and thousand apparent discrepancies, not only a general but an individual good. . And how much of consolation is there to a heart, when deeply stricken with sorroxv, to be able to feel that all afflictions are sent lor a wise purpose, and that there is a bright kingdom hereafter, where pain ; ghall have no entrance!

An acquaintance of ours was np in Connecticut one day last winter, to visit a friend who was a manufacturer.

If lie could find one, it would be green, and unfit for im mediate use. Very* early in the morning while the j day had scarcely dawned, the manufacturer and his j guest were at the mill, to sec what should be done, j A farmer, who lived two or three miles off was j already looking on. As the manufacturer looked j painfully at hi.? catastrophe.- “ Bad break that,; ■Mr. said the farmer. “ Yes. very bad." said j the manufacturer. “Can't mend that stick, can j you ?" said the farmer. “ No,' said the mamif’actu-: rer; and the worst of it is.

So.when I beard , your shaft was broke. I thought I'd-come over ami . let you know." “ You're just the man I wanted to see," said the manufacturer. “ if only it was light enough. How much do you ask for the stick, if it will suit me ?" ‘•Oh I'm Pitre 'twill suit ye. nr J , shouldn't a'cut it down; and about the price. lj guess you mid I can'.agree.

We know that we shall ere long close our eyes on all sublunary objects,) but the time and manner of our death cannot for- j see. llgre one falls in his'full strength, while! another has been languishing for years. The aged | are passed by. and the turf is upheaved for the | young and the beautiful. Our neighbor falleth by j our side, just as we learned to appreciate his worth. ; A friend sinks in our arms, as we take him to our I bosom. 1 Yet these instances of mortality fail to ! leave suitable impressions on our minds. We follow our friends to the grave, and turn as anxious as ever to engage in the business and tur moil of life. To-morrow we forget tne pleasant smile and cheerful voice, and put far away from our minds the thought of our own mortality. Thus we arc blinded; but little as we dwell upon it, the day approaches when our voices will be hushed, our eyes closed, and our lips refuse to do their office. Blessed shall we be, if we live for another world, by cherishing right feelings of heart, and living void of offence before God and man. Rothschild in Paris. —By the last accounts from Paris, the Provisional Government had offered Rothschild a military guard. It appears by a state ment in one of the papers that an attempt had been made to extort a loan from him. A number of employers, accompanied by some dozen or so of laborers to back them up, called on the rich banker and demanded a loan of 5000 francs, very modestly informing him that in case-of refusal, “they could not answer for what the laborers might do.” He requested a few moments to consider the proposi tion, and retiring to another room, caused a party of the National Guard to be brought from an adjar cent post, to resist by force the demands thus pressed upon him, and thus frustrated their design. GOVERNOR’S MESSAGE. | Veto of Bill to re-charter Bank of Chambers! To the Senate and House of Representatives: . Gestlemen'i The bill entitled “ An act jo ex tend the Charter of the Bank of Chamberspurg," has been presented for my approval. i The charter of this Bank will expire by its own limitation, on the first Wednesday of May. ISSO, and the present bill proposes to extend it for a fur ther period of ten years irom that date. Thu bills to extend the charters of the Farmers” and Drivers’ Bank of Wavnesburg, the Columbia Banl and Bridge Company, and the Farmers' and Mechanics' Bank of Philadelphia are also before me. The charters of these Institutions will expire by their limitations in Mav and November, 18-10, and 1 it is proposed to extend the charter of each' of them for ten'years from the time of their expiration. ! The importance or responsibility' of givipg or withholding my sanction to the renewal pf the charters of these institutions, as well as others of a similar character which may be presented during the present session, has induced me to besto\v"upon the subject mv most serious consideration. The great injuries which have been inflicted upon the whole people, but more especially upon those who are entirely dependent upon their daily wages for the subsistence and comfort of themselves and families bv the failure of hanks and the lepre cintioii of bank paper, demand at the hands ofthosc entrusted with the power of legislation o i the subject, the utmost caution ami deliberation 'efore they extend a system which ha=; in so mnjty in stance proved itsell vicious and deceptive, upd rn itious to the laboring and plniiucitig purHujip of the people. i tn the annual messaife presented to tin’ General Assembly al lit?* eommenecinent of the present slalom [ took tbe nceiishm to present the Iblljiwina \W\\* on the subject 1 ! "•Nothing can euutiihule mi much to the main tenance of onv i «em prosperity, \\* n smiit I enr letiry. IVnijsyh mda is rich iii'pnuluetinn=i of til mnsi every description ivqiiiivd by the Wimirf of mankind; and nothing is necessary tn mal e her people the must independent in the world, but u proper regard for her true interests. To advance these. >hc must not be seduced from her demotion To sound principles, by the artificial contrivances of false economists, whose selfish theories areas delusive as they are destructive of the public! good. ' •• The present if? a most propitious period,-when there is an abundance of gold and silver -jn the I country, to make a determined effort to increpse its j circulation, and to secure to the people the curren cy which the wisdom of the framers of the Consti tution of the United States provided. Instead o! creating new hanks, or increasing the capital old ones, our efforts should be directed to secure the solvency of those which already exist, and thereby render their circulation sound and reliable, j •• Impressed with the force of these considera tions, I am convinced that the increase of the |bank ing capital o r the State, would be unwise and im politic; and I respectfully recommend, that |before any one of the existing banks is re-ohartpred, a searching scrutiny be instituted into its affairs, its management, its credit, and its means; atid if it be found that the notes have been suffered to depre ciate. that the accommodations have been bestowed upon favorites, and large speculators and dealers in money, instead of being diffused among moderate and sale customers; that the issues have at one period encouraged speculations by their excess, and at another oppressed honest industry, by their con traction ; in short, that the legitimate objects for which the privileges were granted, have not been bv fair. Jaithlnl and judicious management pccom piished, then the charter should be suffered to [expire bv its own limitation. The discontinuance of such ihstilutious will promote the public good, aijd will he hailed with approbation by all but those who have, for private gain, wrested them from the pur pose for which they were established. . ‘•This policy, so just towards the public, while it may to a moderate extent, diminish the present amount of banking capital, will strengthen public confidence in the ofher banks, and add to the sta bility and soundness of the currency. And as it may also increase the profits of existing banks, be yond a just compensation to the shareholders for their investment?, and a= this excess of gain: is de rived from the special privileges conferred upon them by the Legislature. I recommend, tljat the tax imposed by the act of the Ist April, IShfi.upon dividends exceeding six per cent, per annum, be in creased. While the inducement to excessive bank ing will be reasonably checked, by the increase of this tax. the finances of the State may be, to some j extent, improved, and the public welfare promoted. -The policy indicated will lead to the rigid exe cution ol the law prohibiting the circulation o’f for eign notes under the denomination of five dollars, as soon as the balance of the relief issues is cancelled. This will he a positive advance in the improvement of the cunenev. which should be then followed by a law prohibiting the circulation of all notes, below tin- denomination of ten dollars. The channels of circulation will then he filled with an abundance of gold ami silver, the public secured against the chan ces of loss bv broken binks. and depreciated cur rency: and the way will be opened to such further mipro\emc-nts. as the real interests and convenience of the people may demand. " The enutionary'enactni , ’iits f have suggested, cannot fail to increase rather than diminish the amount of a sound circulating medium, fully enti tled to the public "confidence. The effect will be to bring the specie of the country into active circu lation. to fiirni-h the people with a substantial cur rency. that cannot be imparled by bank failures, and to restrain the tendency of’the banks to foster extravagance, in time of prosperity, and check the means of oppression in time of adversity. "A theory lias been advocated and put into prac tice. in some of the States, called FUEL BANK ING. It is based, in part, upon specie, and in part upon State stocks, hypothecated with the Govern ment. In other words, hanks become the creditors of the (.’ommomvealth. by purchasing her bonds: these are deposited with the government, and the government endorses, and returns to the bankers, note/? prepared for circulation, to an equal amount. I can perceive no grounds forrontidence in this sys tem. It must explode, in a country where it is adopted to any considerable whenever a revulsion occurs to test its stability, for it is a devi ation from true principles. Sound and-safe banking can only be based and conducted on money—rold and'siLVEu. Neither individuals or banks can lend that which they have not: and if they lend credit in the shape of hank notes, without the means to redeem them in gold and silver, they commit a fraud upon the community, as they lend and put in circulation, that which is not money, nor the re presentative of money. ‘•lf this system of converting State stocks into, banking capital, and hypothecating it ns a-security for the payment of bank issues, were n»t a delu sion, mortgages upon real estate might he used lor the same purposes, which would a fiord an equal if not a better security, for the payment of notes, and bv this process, llfo. whole value ol the real estate of the country, might lie converter into banking capital, and people into a nation of banker.-. This proposition shows, that the whole scheme is illusory and unsound. “ Free banking, in its legitimate sense, is the right which every man enjoys, to lend his own money to whom he pleases. It is the exchange of money for securities, to repay with interest—it involves no fictitious increase of the circulation, but may be carried on to an indefinite extent, without affecting the currency. This is the free banking, which has at all times supplied, and does now supply, the wants of a large proportion of borrowers, and com mends itself to general confidence and approval, by its simplicity and adaptation to the circumstances ; of the people. In recommending “that before any of the exist ing banks is rechartered, a searching scrutiny be instituted into its affairs, its management, its con duct and its means, and if it be found that the notes have been suffered to # depreciate, that the accom modations have been b*estowed upon favcjrites and large speculators and dealers in money, instead of being diffused among moderate and safe customers —that the issues have at one period encouraged specidations by their excess and at another oppres sed honest industry by their contraction, in short, that the legitimate objects for .which the privileges were granted have not been by fair, faithful and ju dicious management accomplished, then the char ter should be suffered to expire by its own lim.ita- tion"—l intended that the investigation should be* rigid and thorough, and ; that the charters should not be renewed as a mere matter of course, with out examination; as has generally been the case heretofore. The time for the mysterious secresy which has so long shrouded the transactions of banking institutions has gone by. When they apply to the Legislature for a renew al of privileges ihey should come with clean hands, and ought to give the most satisfactory evidence of the character of their discounts and the nature and value of all their assets and of their faithfulness in the execution of the trust confided to them' It is only by requiring such testimony that a reliable opinion can be formed ds to their solvency and their title to public confidence. In regard - to the bill immediately before me, as well as the others referred to. so far as I am in formed, no such investigation has taken place, nor indeed any other beyond the examination ot their quarterly' statements and the representations of those immediately interested. These statements, it is well jknown,, furnish little information that can be relied ou as satisfactory in regard to the solvency of the institutions. It is only by a rigid inquiryrinto the character of those notes and bills discounted, and of all the assets that any valuable am! practicable result can be attained'. In withholding my approbation from the bill under consideration, as well as the others to which I have referred, -I do not moan to intimate the most remote suspicion in regard to their solvency or management.- So' far as I know, they are as sound as any other hanks -in the State, and tnay lutve been as well Conducted. Indeed, s ; otne of them sustain as mil* n reputation ns nny in the State, hut thr time Ims nflived when the public Interests do ninml that no lluhk should he re-elmilet-ed withbut thf> most thorough scrutiny Into its condition and munmtrinefm and It \vtt« only on contlitiun of such an investigation being lirsi hud lhat l exnressrtl a willingness give my m*\W m the rMtarier „f any hank . In entiling -or renewing insiituiiona which am to furnish the cireulaiing medium of the Btab\aml which every itum in imsinctiti fa eompulfad, from the habile and customs nl the rummy, In rppoivu an money, nothing should he taken Jor granted, qj loft in doubt, which is susceptible uf satisfactory proof. By pursuing the course- indicated, those in stitutions’which are unsound will bo detected and exposed, and the community may bo protected against fraud and imposition, while those that are sound and honestly conducted will receive the con fidence they merit. As none'of the charters of the institutions which are now before mo fora renewal of their privileges will expire before the first day of May. 18-P.i, I cannot perceive that they will suf fer any material detriment, or that the public in terests can be jeoparded by the postponement of their applications for another year. I* am the more persuaded that this is the true course, from the fact that I am fully satisfied there are vet many valuable provisions which ought to be engrafted upon every bank charter in the State, in order to protect the interests of bona fide stock holders. and to save the people from a recurrence of the evils which have heretofore resulted from the defects of the present system. Much has al ready been done. The principle of individual lia bility which was for a long time pertinaciously re sisted as destructive of - the whole system has been established, and is now received with favor not on ly by the whole people at large, but by many, of the most enlightened bankers in the country. It is true the application of the principle may not yet be perfect, hut that its introduction, even in its modified form, will have a salutary influence by producing, more caution and care on the part of stockholders in regard to the management of the banka, as well as by affording a better ultimate se curity' to their creditors, will not be denied. Having attained this point, it is our duty to gress with the advance of enlightened public opin ion. and to provide such other reasonable and wholesome restrictions as the public interests re quire. and as the pnblicrinferest demand. Among the furthcr-.rcstrictions which have oc curred to me as practicable and proper, are the following - . Ist. One restricting the amount of issues to a less proportion to their capital. They arc now generally authorized to -issue three times the amount of their capital. This is too much and ought to be reduced. It is the main cause of those fatal expansions and contractions which have here tofore proved so destructive to the best interests of the country. The amount of debts they are per mitted to contract ought also to be reduced so as to restrain their operations at ail times within rea sonable and safe limits. 2d. The banks of the State ought all to be re quired to keep their notes at par in the city of Philadelphia. It is the products of the country which are sent to the Eastern markets, that fprm the legitimate basis of bank discounts in the coun try, and as the country banks have the benefit of the country circulation, and the advantage of dis counting die bills and drafts on the. Eastern cities, whore they received par funds .in payment, it is asking but a small return for the favors conferred upon them that they should keep their notes at par. This would put an end to a system of brokerage and speculation which indirectly robs the people of the interior of many thousands of dollars annually. .‘id. Banks ought to be treated as public institu tions, because they furnish the currency of the Mate, and affect the pecuniary interests of the people more than any other institutions in the country. 'The Directors ought to be placed under oath, and sworn to observe the provisions of the charter, and any wilful violation of them ought to be made perjury. The whole proceedings of the banks should at all times be open to the inspection of any reasonable number of the stockholders, and to a committee of the Legislature, and to any offi cer of the State duly authorized. A failure to re deem their notes on demand in specie ought in itself to be an absolute forfeiture of their charter, ex-! cepting as to winding up their concerns, and for any act done as a bank after such failure, the Fact ought to bn allowed to be given in evidence as a bar to any suit in relation to any banking opera tion subsequent to such lailure. j After a lapse of a few years, they ought not to be permitted to issue paper of a denomination be low ten dollars. These arc some of the most prominent provi sions which ought in my. opinion, to be engrafted on our banking system, and applied to every bank in the State; and I cannot perceive any time so favorable for their adoption as when the banks* are asking an extension of their charters. No extreme measures towards the banks that are calculated to distrust or derange the business habits of the’ community are desirable; but the people have a right to expect from every public functionary who has it in his power to contribute in any degree to the correction of the evils of a system which has heretofore been productive of so much mischief, his best exertions to prevent the recurrence ot those evils. Entertaining the views I have expressed, and the belief that no injury can be sustained by delay, 1 have come to the conclusion at present to with hold my assent to these bills. By the postpone ment, the banks will have time to prepare and ex hibit satisfactory proof of their condition and man agement, which is not, now belore me, and some well digested amendments to the system calculated still further. to mitigate, If not to eradicate its de fects, may be matured. For those reasons. I have directed the bill to be returned without my approbation, to the Seuate in which it originated. FRS. R. SHUNK. EXECUTIVE CRAMBEn, Harrisburg. Jlpril 7,184 S. What Constitutes a Great Man. Dr, Thompson, of Charleston, Mass., tells an amusing storv about a conversation he once . had with a neighbor of hie in relation to John Hancock. The neighbor was a great admirer of Hancock, and upon one occasion told : the Doctor that he thought Hancock was the greatest man in the whole coun try. The Doctor ventured to say m reply, that : though Hancock was a man of note and,influence, he was not, in reality, a man of great talents, and that there were many men of his day«~£amnel Adams for instance —who were much his superior* in that respect “ Why, Doctor,” saidother,’“l am surprised to hear you say so! John Hancock not a man of talent !
