At the last session the Legislature waaitiong ly petitioned by the people: to piss a Bin Illtiltdl= icing the Banks to issue small notes for the per. posci.el relieving there from the many difficulties which the want preach a medium created. This pantien was refused; but shortly after the famous ; Relief Bill was passed with the Feteice ofassisting the community. woos it was in fret a measure matured fur the purpose of enuring the re electioe of Davitnt. Potter—nme.tentits of _the people, being strenuously opposed to it, because totally; different from the act they had petitiOned for. The sys'ete accordingly went into Operation —the State was -flooded with nearly two milliods of Relief notes—the people of the State bad learn ed to ;depend entirely upon this currency for a median - when the very first act of the perste Legislature is an attempt to pass a law depreciat ing qi l e value of their earn bantling' at least 50 per c e nt., and thereby swindling the community; holding the trash, oblof nearly a million of dol lars t i end this BM passed the lower House by a vota'of 70 to 23.

Men are but children of a larger growth:" thir attention s attracted forcibly a few days since by the folloWing circumstance occurring before our office door. A fine looking little ur chin,iwith his pockets full of marbles, strutted up to a erowd of boys congregated on the pavement, and .ccosting there a ragged, cunning looking lit tle diig,'said 'ome, Bill, let's have a game of marbles." T which the other replied, "1 can't Ben, I'm reglir busted." Well," says Ben, "never mind, I'll lend you somi." So, accordingly at it they went; in a short time the juvenile banker was broken, and having inti mated that fact to his companion, he very gener ously returned him the marble he had borrowed in the first instance,whichin the next game was also-lost. — Ben, after searching through his pock ets and turning them all inside out with the hope of fining a stray alley, stood looking the very im age of despair.

Another person present was also considerably injured. We learn that liquor wl4l the cause of the whole affray, and that the man killed was endeavoring at the Mlle peaceably:to 'quell theAisturbance. We have also;underatood that the keeper of this tav-• ern or grog ahop;l- is addicted to intemperance, and therefore his license S ought to be revoked forthwith, as affrays are commmi at this house. The principal combatants engaged in the fight, as well as the man that gave the Mond blow have all been arrested, and are now lodged in jail at - Orivigsburg. - 'Sr. VALENTINES Dar.—This anniversary, usually so full of interest to many of our pining love-Making friends, occurred on Monde!, last. The custom of choosing a particular friend on this, day is one of great antiquity, and fur which it is difficult .to find an origin. St, Valentine is described as being greatly distinguished for his loving and charitable disposition, and miny.con ci ive that this feature in his character has tendeil to give rise to the practice; another reason for, the custom, and we think the most appropriate, is, that thials' the day on which birds always choose their mates. We never witness this anniversary without our. thOughts'recurring (almost involun tarily') to the Glovees pretty daughter and Harry of the Wynd. May their exampli always be a precedent for all future Valentines. COMMITTER os Foams Arial ns.--One of the most silly acts which has characterised the present session - of Congress, was the resignation of four of the Southern members on the Commit tee of , Foreign Affairs, because •John Quincy Adams was chairman of said committee. The Rouse very properly accepted these resigaations with hut one dissenting voice. It is lamentable that men of enlarged views, imbued with a spirit of patriotism instead of/at/ion, cannot be select ed to legislate for the people. Lines Rccsirrs.—We learn that the receipts on the Philadelphia, Reading and Pottsville Rail road, for the transportation of 'passengers, mei chan:fize, Coal, &c., have averaged, since its open ing, -*bout Eight Hundred Dollars per day:- - These receipts are much larger than was antici pated at, this season of the year.

This is the gen eral feeling here, and it has already given a con siderable impetus to the trade, knowing; as we do. that.if these rates are adhcrad to, this region can place Coal in the Atlantic markets at a much cheaper rate than any of the other Coal regions in the State. t ThcrPhiladelphia II eke t i efuseto take the notes of the country 'Brinl I without a deposit.

Our readers have already had some 'account of,his fainous reply to the_Marshali resolutions on Monday of last week. The correspondent of the New York American has drawn a graphic description of the whole encounter, and we• ex• tract the following sketch of the figure and ap pearance of the venerable patriot on that memora ble occasion. thlr. Marshall had just presented the resolution is an imposing speech: When he 'concluded, and the Speaker an nounced to Mr. Adams that his position entitled him to the floor, I thought of a parhilel scene,— " Then Agrippa said unto Paul, It is permitted unto thee to speak for thyself. And Pahl stretch ed forth his hand and said.--" Up rose, then, that little, feeble. bald, gray, tottering old man, his eyes dimmed and his hands trembling with constitutional infirmity and age— upon whose consecrated head 'the vials of tyrannj wrath bad been now outpoured; while aroind him gleamed a hundred lowering broy,4l long standing hereditary hate kindled into new fury by -•.• rousing of the vilest, moat-> rutal and 'sordid • ions.

No romantic or dramatic, scene of fictitious interest ever awakened by the powers of poetic fancy, the high emotions of this solemn, throbbing reality. - Mild, calm, unexcited, undepressed, he turned his meek face on a scene appalling to many,„s heart that had o stouter covering, and raised'his voice, high keyed as usual, but clear, untrertMlous, and firm. The infirmities of body disappeared in a moment, and if ynu noticed his' shaking, half hand. you did so only tothink of the old Doge of the Adriatic Republic on " the Giant's stair-case." "Thou-tremblest, ledliero." "'Tie with age thew" At fust,Xleare was nothing of indignation in his tone, manner , or words. Surprise and cold con tempt were all. But soon a flash of vithering scorn struck the unhappy Marshall to the earth, and a single breath blew all his mock judicial array into air and smoke. ‘• Ms puny mind !" 0, it wee exquisite ! Poor Marshall is on his back flat in the mud, and will never rise again. But the grandest touch of the whole was where Adams, in a tone of insulted majesty, and rein vigorated spirit, and in reply to the audacious and atrocious charge of "high triason."--.. I call for the reading of the brat paragraph of the Rect.. ri.s. TION OP INnzezinevcs.! Read it! Read it! And see what that says of :the right of a people to reform, to change, to dissolve their govern- ment." The look, the tone, the attitude and gesture of the venerable inSulted patriot, at that instant, were most Imposing. The voice - was that of sovereign command as of a Cesar to his legions. His slight stooping frame seemed to dilate and heighten ; the burthen of seventy-five years had rolled off from him, and he shone out above the slight things around him, (who hod thought themselves his equals in being his associates.) like an ennointed king, or an inspired prophet. When the reader came to that passage of the Declaration ,that solemnly proclaims the right of Reform, Revolution, and resistance to oppression, the old man thundered out, read that-again!" And he looked proudly around on the listening audience, as he heard his triumphant vindication sounded forth in the glorious sentences of our Revolutionary Magna charta. The sympathetic instantaneous revulsion of feeling was tremendous and palpable, though voiceless. Every drop of free, honest blood in that vest assemblage, bounded with the high impulse; and every fibre thrilled with the excitement. The whole action, though simple, natural, unaffected, was dramatic and ef fective - beyond Bhakspeare's noblest conception. John Philip It emblo might have learned in this school of nature's action. A - strong exhibition of the facts in the case, mostly in cold, calm, logical, measured sentences, concluded Mr.' Adams' high toned appeal from the profane babblers of this slavish generation, to the sainted Fathers of that system of Revolution •gry liberty, of which he is the coeval, and the noblest champion and representative, and then he sat down vindicated, vietoricus. From the Y. N. Tribune WOO Per TOE Durtsst—lt has been so often repeated . by Southern men, that the planting States pay an increased price both on articles obtained from abroad and those supplied at home by reason of high duties—that many intelligent pen, but without practical knowledge of trade suppose this to be true. Whereas—the reverse is the fact; the Northern manufactures consumed at the South are chiefly coarse fabrics that could not be imported if there were no duty to be paid; and high duties on- imported goods used in any great, quantities by the Southern People have never been levied by Northern influence, nor in truth been paid. ' The aggregate increased cost by reason of a duty above 20 per cent. for the last 15 years, on all the products and merchandize--bath imported and supplied by the Northern States--consumed in aU the Southern States—is not as great as the ' loss by the merchants of this city in any one year of large importation, by bankruptcies and derangements of our currency caused by the ab sence' of noteetive laws. We o ft en hear the enquiry rage : When will the Southern People learn; their true interests I when will they join with !us to pass laws beneficial to the 'whole country?. The answer.must be—never—so long as disappointed politicians sway the Southern minds. Political rivalry is more intense in its effects upon the minds and temperaments of men than any other—and whilst the injurious results act upon the interests of others no hope of change of opinion or feelingi can be expected. The question is_ not one of political economy but of political ascendency, and the opposition to laws protective of Northern industry arises from dread of Northern supremacy, an intense hatred of Northern prosperity ; and the sooner, this is understood by the "honest men both in the Southern and the Northern' States.the better fOr the interests of all. The States claiming purtection for they' • labor are in the majority and it is their:duty to the whole country. to pass lam that will protect the interests of all. Let there be ifyou,pieui o dis crimination in favor of the planting States by taxing as heretofore more slightly pricks used chiefly in the Southern:States: but let not the positive interests of the whole Union be sacrificed to increase the political consequence of. Southern demagogues., • • Yin: Taus .Docrataa.—fa writer in the lies. ton Atlas says, that, having been a careful ob. server 'of causes and effects, acts and results, se they have .been brought forward and .unfolded within the last few years," he has drawn iam b conclusions, which if not e x actly axioms with cer. lain great writers on political economy, neverthe less appear to him to be consiatent with common sense. They are as follows: 1. 1 hold it trite that a nation which is wholly agricultural, which expods its 'rew produttions, and imports nearly all the . manufactured mucks t it consumes, will alwiis be pour and ignorant. 2A`tkt a nation which pays a doilara day e n 1 hater, can' never compete in manufecturea with another which pads :quly 20 cents, if Trade is free. The price of labor must decline in the one, or rise in the other, or both these ceases combin. ed mud make an equilibrium, otherwise tha cheap labor, will Command all the work. 3. That inasmuch as a liber is wealth," and Inasmuch as the combined wealth of individual s makes the aggregate of national wealth—so the value of labor ie a consideration of equal impor tance to the individual and the nation; and there fore, that the nation which can keep tly,price of labor up to a dollar a day, is richer - individually and collectively, than one whit cannot raise it over twenty cents. 4. That if these tero,n tions, paying these ex treme prices for 1E4604 open their ports to each other on terms orperfect reciprocity, the price of wages in durich nation, must decrease, till its workin en sink to the level of working men irs the oorer nation if these latter ere suf f iciently umerous to supply the wants of both with ease. 5. That for these reasons, and for others which it is not now needful to mention, free trade, if we could have it with all the world, would 'quer' the price of our labor to the standard of Europe, crush a large portion of our Manufacttirers, and with them our working imen ; cripple our, com merce; make us dependent on foreign nations for articles of necessity, comfort and luxury, save the raw - productions of our, ; form a continual drain upon our resources; give us poverty in place of wealth ; ignorance instead of education; vice, crime, and misery, for virtue, peace and happi ness; and finally, despotism for freedom.
