Itervia , ;eer been noted for their faithfulness in the dis-
• charge of all pecuniary obligations, and the opinion
which has been prornulged far and wide, that. the State
.authorities would not be able to square her interest
account, and that repudiation must and would inevita
- ..bly follow, has doubtless been a source of great mor
"Z tification to a people so gcrepulously punctual and
'honest in the discharge of their individual liabilities.
But we feel warranted in saying all is well—the Au-
gust ints3rest will be paid—the credit of the State pre
-served. It can no longer be said, that whilst Penn
-:tylvania eschews positive repudiation, she resot ta to
- it practically. •
We are enabled to state, says the Pennsyleenian of .
be 21st, from the best sourer's of information, that the
e - .„,
wasance t h e State Treasury at this time is 'about
$450,000, and that it will be increased by this Ist of
f;,-....isegost, without this county's quota, to a Sum nearly
41 not quite $600,000, which, added to the sum of
- 1275,000 to be furnished by this county, will exceed
Rhf arum necessary to pay the interest in full; the
test to be paid being less than $850,000, and not
$950,000 as erroneously stated. In connexion with
"this matter we subjoin a comparison of the receipts
. and expenditures for the month of June of this year

The receipts from the same source for

The whole receipts of the Treasury prove what
energy in a faithful public officer will produce. The
State Ttuasurer has been -unremitting in his escertions
to secure the payment of the interest, and we feel a
proud gratification is expressing the belief that his
exertions will be crowned with success, Several
counties have paid a portion, if not a whole of their
quota of tax into the Treasury. The county of Mont
'ionsery paid in full, the sum being $37,000. The
counties of Greene, Etie and Carbon have also paid
In fell, and the c3unties of Mifflin, Juniata, Cumber
land, avid Fayette have paid a part. The county of
Delaware, we have been informer!, will pay in full
this week.
Since the above was prepared, we have learned that
the Commissioners of Westmoreland—democratic
Westmoreland—bare raised from the county funds
and borrowed on their own individual responsibility
the full amount of the State Tax due by that county. It
*mounts to about $14,000. On Saturday last the
Treasurer of "Old Berks," paid into the state Treasu"
Ty at Harrisburg, her full quota of state Tax, amounting
to more tban . fifiy tkosraand dollars.
The circular of the state Treasurer, addre.sed to
the Commissioners of the several caunties of the state•
• asking their co-operation in a patriotic effort to pre'
serve discredit of the stare, had reached England, be
fete the sailing of the Britannia and Great Western.
It had effected a decided improvement in American
' securities—business had been transacted in Pennsyl
vania state stooks at 67. The octant payment of
the August interest, must and will be regarded, at
.•
home, and abroad, as evidence conciceive of our dis
position, as well as ability to pay promptly, when due,
ell state liabilities.
rirWe clip tho following from Wednesday's
- "American."
"It must he remembered that the success of this
polity, from 1829 to 1840, resulted in the reduction
of the Tariffs which the Whigs of 1324 and 1828
-had made."
The editor has been singularly unfortunate in refer
sing to this subject, especially as his object was esi
-dent!y to arouse the drooping spirits of his party. In
the first place the Tariffs of 1824 and 1328, were not
' passed by the Whigs—the Democrats were in the as
.- , atendency in both branches of the National Legisla
. <tare, in 1824, as well as 1828, and both laws were
- matured and passed by that party in Congress. But,
this is not all; it is well known to the whole nation,
' , that this very Tariff of 1828, was superseded by Mr
Clay's Compromise Law. Mr Clay, in his celebra
ted burr to Mr Merriweather, of Georgia. declares
that he used, whilst in Congress, every exertion to of
a modification of the Tarif of 1828; he denoun
ced its passage as a disgrace to the nation, and said
that it owed its existence to 'Mr Yon Buren and oth
er prominent members of the Democratic party. We
do Sot profess to give his language, but merely to
-.tats the facts. 'flow then stands the case! The Tariffs
Of 1824 and 1828, were passed by the Democratic
party. That they were superseded by the compro
mise Lewis undeniable—that Mr CLAY was the father
itrf tbat - measiire is a matter of history. So much for
ithieTariffs of 1824 and 1828. How far his party
justly entitled to the credit of the passage cf the
Tariff of 1842, claimed for it by the American, can
best be judged from the well known fact, that although
theh . • • •
w ig majority in both houses of Congress was
mery large, in the House, we think, over fifty, it re
rceived a majority of but a single vote in each branch.
The 'Democratic members from Pennsylvania—some
from New York and a few from other states voted
• for the bill—and without their rotes it could ,sot
.haveyassed either .branch of Congrus.
Ad jr SHOULD us.—Our Democratic brethren at
it Louis, have settled their difficulties, and ore now
cordially united in support of what is represented by
"kords" and "soft.," as an unexceptionable and
ricacellent ticket. This is as it should be. An easy
victory will.be the result.
NAVAL—The sloop of war, John Adams, went to
on from New 'York, on Friday afternoon, in tew of a
'absemboat. She is bound far the coast of Mexico, and
bas oa board some recruits for the squadron there. In

Maria is the fairest maid,
That treads her native hill,
And o'er each scene where we have strny'd,
My fancy leads me still; •
Her eye first gain'd - my heroes respect,
Enkindling bright esteem,
And joy soon languish'd. if neglect '
Obscur'd its fervent beam.
Upon her brow in artless fold,
Fier yellow tresses lay,
Like a rich mass of purest gold,
Which glads the eye of do);
Her bosom's like the dogwoods bloom,
Which early decks the spring,
And cheerful as the merry tuna,
Of birds, which on them sing;
For in her smile such plea-urea dwell
Above all earthly sweets:
While on her lips some mystic spell,
My soul delightful keeps.
A word from her is riche, far.
Than aught beneath the sun,
And shines in memory, like a star,
Which never can go down.
The chain to bind our youthful love,
Time holds in his own hand;
And if he but propetiuus prove,
Will surely wear the band;
Then should stern fate tyrannic throw
Me on some distant shore,
I'll view her through the cloud of wo
And drink of bliss still more.

coolness. "Here's your ice, fresh thermometers!—all

DESTRUCTIVE TORNADO tS C•RROL COUNTT.-
We learn from the Westminister (Mil.) Carrolltoni

the Presb3terinn Church and demolishing grain, grain
any hay stacks, and unroofing barns and sheds—no

Finance to the A merican Farmer, especially should it
attract the notice of our western tiller of the soil. The

be seen that the importation of American cheese have

The Liverpool Times makes the following sugges
tion "To our American friends, we say, send to this
country nothing but a good article, introduce mote
color into it, and we are sure that in another year
England will use four times the quantity of its previous
consumption. We shall also be pleased to find that
the maufacturer and exporter got a large share of the
prices for which it is sold in England. The writer of
this has now upon his table an American cheese equal
to the celebrated "Stilton," for which 25 cents per
pound is obtained, while this "American" is sold at 13
cents only."

EMIGRLTION TO THE. NV esr.—The emigration to
Wisconsin, at the present time, is said to be rapid be
yond all precedent. There are whole sections of coun
try that are now thickly settled that a gem months ego
were entirely uninhabited. This applies to the north
ern as well as the southern counties. The emigration
comes principally by the way of the lakes, from the
northern and eastern States.

Event, at Indianopolis.—We find the following in
the Indianapolis Sentinel of Wednesday week:
Since the murder of the lih, we have had a perfect
deluge of past and present iniquity brought to light. l
A aeries of bold and audacious robberies have been
perpetrated during the last year or two, which we have
been long cerivinced were perpetrated by an organi
zed gang. Nn efforts, however, °Cony uccount have
been made to effect a discovery, until the robbery of
Heddorly's Isrd oil and canile factory. He adverti
sed a reward of ten dollars for the thieves, and took
other measures for their detection, and the result is the
discovery of a gang of young scamps, some of them
not generally suspected of any evil, but who have prob
ably long been engaged in their thievish vocation.—
Some particulars will be found under the police head.
But bad as these developments are, they have led
to incidents still more astonishing. The dark and
dreary VIIIIIO, or rataeoznbs underneath the State house,
it seems, have been one of the teceptacles of the ging
and its plunde.r. It was here, probably, that the plun
der robbed from the State houie, two years nrzo, im
mediately after the adjournme. t, was secreted. But
these dark and dismal recess e? were not only recepta
cles of stolen goods but Mond ry last, the astounding
disclosure was made, that a female had been kept for
three weeks in one of these vaults, where, it it sup
posed by corns, she hail been con fined, and had buried
the fruit of her slot nr ? Words um inarlegente to de
g( rib° tbe sensation produced by such a discovery!—
The capital of virtuous people of Indiana prostituted
to such vile uses! the fountain of the law corrupted at
its very source. There now lie the slimy and rotting
viands, upon which these creatures subsisted nod cel
ebrated their infernal orgies ! The stench was worse
titan that of a charnel house, and it is wonderful that
it had not lung since attracted bolo of lightning "red
, with uncommon wrath," as a means of moral and phy
sical purification as well as divine vengeance.
Let us hear no moreabout the "Mysteries of Paris,"
and the corrupting influences of their detail. Here,
in a quiet interior town, obstrusive in its professions of
superior sanctity and virtue, we have developments
which the mysteries of Paris cannot excel.
Gf.ts..l•cesox.—The following resolution was pass
ed by the citizens of Nashville, Tenn.
Resolved, That as the highest evidence of the ad
miration in which he is held by his fellow citizens of
Tennessee, we recommend to them to rni.e, by individ
ual subscription, a mum of money sufficient to erect to
him a marble statue in the Capital ut Nashville; not to
perpetuate his memory, (for that is immortal) hut his

Life of General Jarkson.—For the information of
the public, we are requested to stale that the publica

be restirned about the ['list of next month, and conclu
ded by the close of the present year. To remove er
roneous impressions which urn abroad in reference
to this matter, we have been furnished by Mr. Kendall
forpublication. with the following extruct of a letter
from General Jackson, dated May 23, 1815, viz:
"On the subject of toy papers, you are to retain
them 117 long as you think nocCe6eilll y to use them.—
Should you die, they are to pass forthwith into Mr.
Blair's hands. I have full nod unlimited confidence

And killed him—as it should.

Yet who in appearnore more merry and bold?

Tint GlRLs.—The editor of the Portland Express,
in discoursing upon early rising, speaks thus:
"Up with you! Dont sleep away this beautiful
morning. Mary, Ellen, Abby, Phebe, Sarah, Eliza,
Jane, Caroline, Margaret. Hannah, Harriet, Adeline.
Amelia! end all the lazy girls arouse—wake up—rise
and see the sun shine, and brush away the dew from
the beautiful grass. You not only lose the beat por
tion of the day, while you linger in bed, but you de
press your spirits and contract habits. What if you
are sleepy! Jump out of bed—fly around—stir about,
and in a few moments you will be as bright as larks.
We would't give a straw for girls that won,t get up
early in the morning. Whatare they good for? Lazy
dumpish creatures—they are not fit for wives or com
panions. Our ydvice to young men who are looking
out for wives, would be—never select a female who
dozes away the precious morning hours. She may be
hel4 but never prove a help-mate."

about half s mile from the place where her residence
stood but a row hours previously. An inquest was held
on her remains by Mr James Martin, coroner, and a
verdict returned accordingly to the circumstances.
Over 700 acres of meadowing have been completely

At a repeal meeting on the 23d, Mr O'Connell

The Social Condition of Ireland is at the pres
ent moment distressing—painful—most deplorable.—
The physical destitution of the people impels them to
mime. The disputes about land give rise to assassina
tion. A Few days back, a magistrate named Booth,
in the county of Cavan, while returning from church
in a gig with his children, was shot by a man who esca
ped with impunity after committing the murder. The
wretch hardly accelerated his movements when hid
victim was no more, and yet all attempts to arrest or
to trace him have been fruitless. Wei are constantly
horrified by accounts of fatal feuds between the nearest
relatives, arising out of the possession or dispossession
of a few yards of soil. Mr. O'Connell asserts that
there are nt the present moment four millions and a
half of paupers in his country; if true, an astounding,
and, no he regards the British Government, a dis
graceful confession. With such combu•table materi
als it is useless to expect permanent peace, or safety
for life or property. A military force has been sent
into the disturbed districts. hut the chronic, complaint
of the country will not yield to more blued letting.
Conflicland In4q of Life.—An extraordinary edi
tion of tho Cork Reporter brings intelligence of a
dreadful conflict between the pollee and peasantry. at
plaec called Ballitiltassi4, about vet ell 1710e3 South of
the city of Cork. Eight of the country people were
shot dead, and a great number, it is supposed are
dreadfully wounded. The correspondent of the Re
porter, writes from the scene of conflict a s follogt4;
"I have been for right hours o Orli-suing s cenes of suc h
an agonizing and heart-rending nature, that I almost
despair of being enabled to convey a y idea of their
horror. Th.. peaer of this bullet to most tranquil vil
lage has been sadly disturbed. and in almost every
second house abort the neighborhood are heard the
wailings of widowed mothers and Fatherless children,
or the loud and disconsolate grief of friends and neigh
bor at the sufferings of their wounded relatives."
It seems that certain persons attempted to rescue a
man whom the police had arrested for getting up a
quarrel at a Fare. The police fired upon the rioters,
and a general light ensued. The affair is to undergo
a judicial investigation.
Nursery Philosophy.-1 he New Haven Herald
exclaims:—
"Wost•x, what are you shipping that child for?—
For crying, do you say? That loan original mode of
closing the little creature's tear ducts,—a new way of
assuaging infantile grief. Little Bieeehes is crying
because he feels bad, and he has as muvh right to feel
bad as you. His only plaything has sustained irrepara
ble damatie and his grief is p,,in g lit. Did you experi
ence bun tithe of Ihe grief u hick now agitates his lit
tin bosom, you would sulk and sob for whole days,
while he blows it straight out, and in fifteen minutes
it is over with. How would you like to be whipped
for indulging in your peculiar griefs in your own way?
And what if his mode is somewhat clamorous? What
if he does stand astraddle in tbe middle of the room,
a flood of tears washing clean streaks down his coun
tenance, shouting forth to the whole neighborhood his
lamentations?—his go cart has brokon down and he
