Nee First L'acr,e
Assumption of the state Debts.
The advocates of the old Federal doc- '
trines have been so long under the dis
pleasure of the American pelple, and have
found an open and honest course in poli
tics an hopeless in advancing their rotten
principles, that they have become system
atically sly and hypocritieal, in all their
political movements. Their every pro
ceeding is insidious and (mermaid.
They are now covertly engaged in the
grand scheme of an Assumption of the
State Debts by the Gelieral Government.
This invention is of pure federal parent
age, having for a precedent the financial
plan of Hamilton, by which he enriched his
t -eorrupt sattelites, and hoped to render the
States subservient to, and dependent upon
the Federal power.
This mode of getting rid of the State
Debts, was broached by order of Daniel
Webster, soon after his return from Eng
land.. The Commercial Advertiser of
New :York, and the American of that city
came out in its favor and put forth feelers
to ascertain whether public opinion was
prepared for so broad a stride towards a
revival of the pernicious practices of old
federalism. Mr. WeLster himself, soon af
ter the opening. of • lite :session of '3B-'39,
made some demonstrations of an intention to
bring the subject before the Senate. Un
der the belief that he wouli do so, a coma
inittee was appointed to consider and le
port upon it. They did make a report,
adverse to the principle;and several Demo
cratic-Senators made able speeches against
' it, A vote was taken upon it, and the re
port • was adopted almost unanimously;
Mr. Webster, if we remember aright, dodg
ed on the occasion.
To Mr. Wm. Cost Johnson belongs the
doubtful honor of bringing up this con-
darned• proposition a second time. He
laid it before the House, and upon •.aking
a vote, but four persons were found with
hardihood enough to vote for it.
But federalism does not give over its
purposes so tamely.—ln the absence of all
other good quaiities it has no lack of per
severance. Petitions in favor of Cost
Johnson's plan are silently circulating ev
ery where; the origin and nature of the
scheme, and the fact that it is a twice re—
jected measure of the whtg party, is care'
fully kept out of view, and people are on
ly told that it is an excellent way to .•get
.rid" of State Taxes and State Debts.
We have no fear that the odious and
unjust propsition can ever be adopted,
but we deem it a duty t) warn our friends
spinet this insidious and specious attemp t
to saddle the general Government with a
Nitional Debt. There has been no wider
point of difference between the great par—
ties of this country, than this of incurring
large indebtedness by the general govern
ment. It has been the pride and b ;ast of
• 0, - r party that under Gen. Jackson's ad—
,Atainistratinn, the debt of the United States
was all paid off, while it has always been a
cardinal opinion of the federalists that a
, onationardebt is a national blessing."
The scheme of Assumption adopted at
the instance of Gen. Hamilton, was stren.
misty opposed by the early democrats, and
yist, there was far more apology for that
soisssure, than • can be offered for the one
jw if on the tapir. The debts then ass
fumed, were alleged to have been incur-
red for the defence of their common coun-
wy, by the several states. For the debts
sow due by the states,.no such plea can be
set urt The money was expended by the .
liketes thetosebiba, exclusively fur their
thin benefit, *n4 there is no shadow of
excuatt*tir they aboulknSw be Chide a
commharturdeni It irainpalsible that the
achenae.:'.ean bte 44Q, orThthout.iiloing
Monstrousinjuitice to those States who'
have behavertprudently, and made no Ha
bilities. For, notwithstanding thei debt 15
to be paid by revenue from the public lands.
there is no reason to suppose that it can
ever so be paid. And finally, the non
indebted states will ba compelled to suffer
for the prolligicy an I extravagance of
those that are involved.
But if the plAn were as just as it is iniqui
tous, it should not be adopted. The in
debted stales have rioted in extravagant
expenditure, aLd they should be made to
sutler from the effects of their wild impru
dence. Similar causes produce similar ef
fects upon both States and individuals. If
it were possible to escape the penalties of
debauch, the dissolute would be far more
numerous than they are. So if the States
which are now borne down by delft,
should have their burdens removed, they
would run the s•nne course of b mowing
arid reekless experts •, Let thew rather
toil on through the difficulties they have
brought 013 themselves. It is not only
strictly just that they should pay their o.►n
debts but their return to solvency by re
trenchment, industry and ecoultny, would
be immensely salutary.
3 situation Wanted—in the Pcnitentia
ry.—The Phi adelphia Ledger says that a
young Englishin in, well dressed and in
telligent, named Harding, was brought be
fore Mayor Stott, at the instance of Mr.',
Thompson, warden of the Eastern Petit
tent_iary, under circumstances of a very sin
gul; r character indeed. Mr. Thompson
stated that for several successive days,
list ding had avlicd to hiln at the prison
fn. admission, earnestly and determinedly
insisting on being an 10mat..., stating that
lie had read Miss Martineau's work on A
' merica, containing a description of the
prison, and that he had ler. England with
the ileteriniaattoti to becom-t an inmate,
an d test the condition of so lit ar y confine..
meat. His application, as a matter of
course, was re,isted. but evety denial
seemed but to increase his importunities,
and finally he w.shed Mr. 'l'. to inform
him what crime would give him a term of
four years in the prison his manner at the
same time strongly indicating a design to
commit a felony for the purpose of gratify ,
ing his t , ing,ilar desire. Under the.Fe rir
cumstaiices Mr. T. thought proper to bring
him bef)re the Mayor, which res•dted in
his committal, in de''attlt of bail to keep
the peace.
3stonishing Luck.—E:r,ory Co. of
Baltimore, sold at their office on Wednes
day, three capital prizes in the Maryland
State Lottery—one of .-.::15,000 one of
51000, and one of $2OO. Such a rare
freak of dame Fortune, at one office, is
seldom recorded. —Raft. Paper.
These. 'freaks of dame Fortune' may
he very agreeable to drawers of the capi•
ital, prizes, but the editor who records
tt e above has'net a tear of sympathy for
the poor gulls, who bought tickets, and
find they have nothing but dismal blanks.
To be /twig.—The Nashville Union of
the 20th ult., says that sentence of death
has been pronounced on Kirby, Carroll,
and Payne for the crime of murder. They
will be executed on the IC H) of February.
'Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man
shall his blood be shed.'
Mount Etna is again kicking up a lost.
It seems, that coniderable torrents of lava
are flowing in the direction of Braille. The
damage already done is said to be immense.
The fine weather allows us to roam about
the whole night, admiring the extraordila
ry spectacle. Numerous strangers come
to be near the seen", says a writer.
A m an who robbed himself.—Haven
Jackson, a dt over, a short time since, pre
tended that his packet was picked at West •
field, Conn., of $340, and offered $5O re
ward fur detecting the robber, and recover
ing the money. Ile had sold his cattle (or
less than they cost him—and the sequel
proved that he had cut off the skirt of his
own coat, and feigned that he had been rob
bed, to excite the sympathy of his creditors.
A sheriff followed him home to Hinsdale,
Mass:, charged him with having robbed
himself, which he confessed, and thus
tected the robber, recovered the money, and
claimed the reward.
Wheat at Buffalo.—The Buffalo C :in
mercial of Monday says: wheat mar
ket begins to move again. Within the past
week contracts and sales have been made
for 18,000 bushels of Ohio to arrive, at pri
ces which have not transpired, doubtless,
however, in the neighborhood of 62/ cents.
Advices from the west represent the grain
market as languid, with but light receipts.
Along the lake shore 56 cents is paid from
wagons, and in the interior half a dollar
appears to be a ruling rate:' -
