Ahet officer of the day reported that, on vis.

to surrender his sword, alleging it should
protect him to Tennessee; that he was a

Gen. Jackson, or anybody else. This be

Nicholas Biddle and Common schools
Among other wise and liberal expedi
ents to raise money to payvttur foreign debt,
Nicholas Biddle recommends the with-
drawl)! of the annual appropriations for
supporting the common schools, as a prop
er retrenchment. On this the Boston Post
remarks: We do not know how an infa
mous proposal could well come from a more
intimous source. It is a noble principle
that every child should have an education
and that property should pay for it. Penn•
sylvania has been making exertions, within
a few years past, to have this something
more than a dead letter in that State, And
now that she has hardly commenced, it is a
piece of impudence for such a man as Bid
dle is—who runs clear of the penitentiary
merely by the skin of his teeth—to end.'av
or to put a strip to it. Biddle has earned
the execrations of thousands of widows and
orphans for reducing them to beggary by
his financiering: every' poor man in Penn
sylvania will now join them in heaping cur
ses upon hid head."
In urging this scheme, Nicholas Biddle
is but carrying out the opinions which have
been steadfastly ad.'anced by him, and
which have governed his every puliti.:ll
act. He has repeatedly dec'ared that "our
first duty is to foreigners," and he still de. I
sires justice, honor, and public c3n venience
to bend to this dogma. To carry it out he
is willing that the children of the poor shall
grow up in ignorance, and the curses which
follow in its train. He has been educated
in contempt for the masses—he inherits a '
hatred for them which he has frequently
expressed;but never more boldly nor point
edly than in his Princeton speech, where
he designated them as a "servile route, who
m wouldAsoon be scourged back to their cav
erns." Is it any wonder that lie should re,
commend government to withdraw from the
children of this "servile route" the benefits
of common school education? fhe sugges
tion comes appropriately from one who
i
perverted the benevolent intentions of Ste
phen Girard, who would have educated the
poor and friendless orphan: it comes forci.
Ibly from a man who has on all occasions
i spoken of the poor as if they and their off
!spring should be treated as beasts of bur.
den.

To the Honorable the Senate. and House of
Representatives of the United States, in
Congress assembled:
The memorial of the undersigned, citizins of
Pittsbergh and Allegheny cou ity, Pennsylvania,
respectfully represents—
That your memorialists are, or have been, Mer-
Omuta, Mechanic+, Farmers or M anufacturerie—
that many of them, by no course of improvidence
or dishonesty on their pat, have been driven from
their vocation's, and arc stripped, not merely of
prop IV, but of the means of securing previsions
hir their families, and, ab,ive all, are deprived of
the prospect of escape From present distress, by
the threatening of a gloomy future;—that, such of
them as remain engaged is their several occupa
aims, have witnessed a rapid decline of values and
a decay of business, which must be fatal to their
pro e peiity, unless speedily arrested;—that they
regard the derangement and disorders of the cur.
roncy as the prolific cause of the evils and inju
ries of which they complain.
Your memorialists further represent, that they
respectively belong to all the political parties of
the day, holding different shades of opinion as to
the precise measure of relierwhich is best calcu.
hated to attain the desired results; —that, while
some of them prefer a Sink et the United States,
others an Indepond nt Treasury, and ethers the
project of an Exchequer Board, as recommended
by President Tyler,—they hold unanimously to
the oainion, that the Excheauer project would be
found in practice an efficient "measure of relief,"
and adequete to the re !ttlaeion taf the currency;—
and that, while this is, of all, the only project of
a law which is strengthened by executive recom
mendation, they earnestly urge. it upon your fa
vorable consideration.
Your memorialists dieclaim the purpeseif set
ting up executive senetiim as the motive to legis
lative action; but believing, es they do, that the
President is perfectly sincere in his anxiety to al
leviate the distresses ofthe people, yet restrain -,1
by honest conviction of duty from yielding his ap
, preval to other measures devised fur the Isamu
purpose and more acceptable to Congress,—they
hold that the case becomes one in which c ince' .
sine end compromise en the part of your honora•
ble bodies, are eminently proper, if net imps rime.

prevailing over the whole land.
Your inemorialiste, therefore, most earnestly
but respectfully, pray your honorable bodies to pass
a law for the regulation of the currency, embody

of an `Exchequer Board,' emanating from the Ex

bodies.
And your memorialists will ever pray. &c

A correspondent of the New York, Free.

than it was. There is to be - a great meet•

The Luxury of a Sneeze.—Some peri.
pateii. thus gives us a delicious essay on
sneezing:
The cheapest luxury we know of is a
good hearty sneeze. It stirs up the inner
and the outer man—it enlivens the brain—
it bnghtene the eyes—it electrifies the
nerves,- and gives the whole system a
shock, to which the voltaic pile is as noth ,
ing. We say this is a cheap luxury. So
it is. One pinch of snuff will compass it
all. People may imagine also, that if you
choose to take your coat off, and, while
heated, sit in a draft of air, it is full as
cheap. True, you will sneeze then, from
+a cold; but what a differece is there be
tween an unhealthy and healthy sneeze!
In the former case your eyes are full of
water—a sort of 'repentat.t tears;' and be
tween the paroxysms you come nearer
swearing than is good for the soul. In the
other, you laugh—you boa about you with
glances of delight—you seem to have a
sixth sense, opening to you a world of
wonders, and learning you to contemplate
the "possession of a thousand delicate
nerves before unthought of. When the
series of ‘sneez?s' are over, you half regret
it. You look up at an angle of forty de.
grees—or get into the sun, or recollect
your last sneeze, until presently the hala
tion begins again, and away you ge—

his rash proceedines in California.
Captain Foxhal A. Parker, it is said, is appoint

It is somewhat severe on the part of our Gov

use all their influence to defeat this union,
fearing a competition with the Belgians.
This measure—a genuine free trade mea
sure—was denounced as being without
precedent between independent states.
The French government, seeing the storm
that was gathering about it, have abandoned
it ;—acd now the French journals ai e bear•

only to reckon the hours we pass agreea
bly, a great number of yeurs would not
make up a life o f a few months.
To delicate minds the unfortunate are
always objects of respect; as the ancients
held sacred those places which had been
blasted by lightning, so the feeling heart
considers the afflicted as touched by the
hand of God himself.
Macrobias has recorded a good jest of
Cicero on Caninins Belviliuo, who was
conedl only for one day. 'We have had,'
says he. 'a consul of such extraordinary
vigilance, that be has not: slept one single
night during the term of his consulship.'
