. WeLareliappy-to : perceive,froin a - Wash,
Mgto'n letler in this morning's Argus, which
is evideittly from theten of-Mr. Van Bu=
rewitimeelf, that the ei-PreSident does not
allow ally difference of party, or .resent
ment at . bis pIVW lierknial defeat, to"Prevelft
him:from watching-over- and' correcting the
Administration of Gen. Harrison, as to all
the errors whielvinexperience may lead to
umin the weighty:matters of diploinatic
etirMette, Of all these- Mr. Van Buren. is
a most accomplished and experienced mai
ter,- and he note frankly imparts to his sue
cessor that learningon these subjects, which
is regarded- by himself and others (very
justly in our humble opinion) as by far the
mos,t valuable portion of - his otvn acquire,
meats. It seems that when' the foreign
Ministers • made their first Official visit,'not
on ordinary business, but of state ceremony,
to be introduced to the new. President.—
Mr; 'Webster was - so. daringly' reckless,
or so profoinidly unlearned in the ceremo

Secretary of State, actually led in some-of
the Ladies of the ° President's family to
witness the interview !!.! ,
This conduct' the accomplished corres

press upon Mi.gke.laster the necessity of

more solemn and dignified subjects of Eti

committed by Mr. Van Buren, who, we
are well assured, never permitted any of
the ladies of his establishment.to be present
on such•tecasions. • •
But this -is not the worst. A greater
outrage remains yet to be told. -We trem

reached that country by the packets,,George
Washington, United Statesand - Westches
ter, from New. York. The first,named
vessel took out the'news of the stoppage
of the United States' Bank- r the second
that of the indictinent of McLeod, and the
Westchester Mr. Pickens' Report in Con
gress on the McLeod affair. These three
causes combined, created .a sudden panic
among all classes of persons, and the Funds
at the Stock Exchange were- materially
owered in consequence. ,
.We find it utterly impossible hi . our jinn-
Bed space, to give at this moment even, a
synopsis of the comments of.the press Upon
this intelligence, but. upon Mr., Pickens'
Report, which seems to have created the
greatest_ iltocki. _ Globe _ says—" The
painful effect which this 'intemperate "par-
ty_doctiment"_noust _otherwise_ produce- ow
the strongly cherished hopeof the people
of:this country,. of an amicable adjustment •
of the dispute, will be much relieved 'by
the' tone of , ti the principal. speakers in the • 1
debate which ensued on the question of
printing the Report;
"We see nothing hi this manifesto of '
empty and unreasonable denunciations,
qualified •as they are by the strong expres
sions of dissent add reprobation , with which
it was . received, to -shake our belief that
peace will be preserved.'! . .
The Morning Chronicle of the fith says:
—The publication Of . this report created
considerable uneasiness._ Itt this feeling,
we confess, we do not altogether partici
pate. The yery men who 'then , up this
document—it ,is plain upon
. the face of it
have- . felt they . Were putting their
names to a case upon which no. nation
would, venture to enter upon hostilities.;---
The language of the report is not the lan
guage- of - men - Ark - Ili - el therAr ere_ cod - VW:id
that they had a good cause, or were de
termined to go to extremities in ti - bad one.
The Times says:—We that not quote
from this offensive and. utipst tirade, but
e-earnestly-invokn-ouri.restleis-te-, study
it in eitero for themselves, and. then
judge themselves what . chance exists of
fair or just treatment for:Great Britain froni
those authorities with which such a cata
logue of insulte,could have originated. ,
' If•the Harrison Government , be, as we
believe' it, will be, against' the -report, is
there not ground to fear that they maybe
too. feeble to resist the war faction?.
from the Money articles in the , same
papers, we find . that - this American - news
caused a panic in the markets...
•The Dispatch says, ,, qlnu stoppage of
thel United States Bank will cause a great
deal of misery-here as' well , as in Amends:

The Lams concerning°Taverns.
ro the Editor :
It seem.; that the late actTef the Legisla
ture entitled, "an acct supplementary to-the
various acts relating to tavern licenses,"
has attracted generatattention; and "receives
the approbation. of thoughtful and good
men.. It is so manifestly just and proper
that it exceedingly difficult to op
pose 'it. . It -makes but one alteration in
the laws which existed at the time of its
passage and which exist yet; that is, it, re
quires. ,the_prelitninary-steps--to-be -made
Public,. whereas, heretofore, they have been
almost-d-secret - asilie:grave. Iris -- (MTh;
cult to conceive'how.any high-mindedand
honorable applicant, or signere of the ap
plication;canobject to the public being ap
prized of the , transaetion, when. the old stat
ue yet hi force says, SECT. 3.' "No court
shall license any inn or tavern which shall)
nolle nece.sSary'to.tictoMmodate the'ptib
lic;". and that the court be sure of the
fact, &Eq.: 4 sayer this shall be certified
" by at least twelve respectable citizens of
the ward, borough or township:"
That the reader may fully understand
the principal points of the laWs now in
force we. copy the _first-BEOT. of the late act,
--"That every person intending to apply
for a tavern license in any city or county
of this commonwealth,from and after the Ist
day of-April next f shall-give - public - notice
of the same by at leist three publications
in two sewspapers where' the - application
is made in any of the eines, and in one
wherrr - the - application - is - made - in - any - of
the counties of this commonwealth, (if go
many there be in said city or. county, orii
there be no newspaper published, then by
printed handbills, to be posted throughont
the township in six-of the most public pla
ces, of *Mich fact an:affidavit, together
with a copy of the printed notice, shall be
attached to the application) which-publica
tion shall be made nearest the place where
puck-`tavern is intended to-be kept, Ind
shall embrace the Certificate requited by
the fourth section or, tiaict passed the
eliventh day of March, one thonsand eight
hundred and thiiity four, entitled an act re
hitinglo inns:and taverns'and fOrtb, the
fon of which puhfications shajf be at least'
ten days before - the first day of the term.of
the'court.to which the application shall be
Stade."
31 7 .1 mi-the: " certificate''' is which . -is - re
,
quired to be,published with the names,
those 'who recommend - the applicant, will
be seen from the 4th section referred to;:--
oNo court stroll grant , a license to any Per
son to keep an inn or tavern, except upon
a certificate in writing,signedbir at least
twelve reputable Citizens of the ward, bor
ough or township, , in 41tich such inn be
MEMMEZIEMIZIIMM
,tavern is,proposed to be kept, setting fortli
thath'sop inn or tavern is'beeessary to a•
comrnodate the publio and entertain siren=
gers or travellers, and that person is
or good repute for hdneity and temperance,
and is; well, provided %iitly house-room and
conveniences for the' accommodation of
strangers - and ti'avellers."°
Now as the statue has all along contein
plated the accommodation of 'the public,''
(section 3). and not the advancemen
vate interest, the reader will perceive that'
the 4th section requires that the inn-keepet i
shall boa `„`persOn of good-repute for
esty and temperance, and be well PcoVided
with houseroom &c." and these facts must,
be certified in the papers by ,
"twelve. respectable These are
excellent-.-laws; -.and — if l- taillitrilliTtibserved

there was' tlanger of itvoevils„ against which
they wished to guard by' heavy penalties.
The' first - allowing' or - encouraging
gaming; thOSecond, the ruin-Of youth 'by
Selling liquor to thetn;•or harboring tliem
within their houses. • The 19th and 20th
sections of the act 1834 refet to, gaming,
,
4V-e-insett,thent-for—the - infoririation Of all
concerned. :"And if anTsuch person shall

upon Second conviction, such .persoir
shall; in additiOnelo, the penalty aforesaid,
be forever incapable of being a public house
keeper or, retailer as aforesaid Within this'
Commonwealth.
Before we procee'd to quote the sections
relating --to selling liquor to minors, we
must pause to ask, have no licences been
forfeited in Cumberland. County . under the
preCeding scctionst 'The public, and espe
cially the friends of temperance should
look to this matter. The 21st, 22d and
23d sections, act 1834, refer to minors and
debts. "No innkeeper or tavern' keeper
shall receive, harbor, entertain or trust any
person under the age of twenty-one years,
or any apprentice or servant, knowing him
to be such, or after being warned to the
contrary by the parent, guardian, master or
nlistress of such' mier, apprentice or ser
v:ant,,under penalty ! for the first or second
offence, of .three dollars, over and above
the forfeiture of any debt contracted by such
minor, apprentice or servant, for liquors or
entertainment; and for the third offence,
under . penalty of fifteen dollars, and the
forfeiture of Ms license, and of being for
ever incapable of receiving a license to
keep a public. inn :within this Common
wealth. No innkeeper or tavern keeper
shall trust or gife - credit to any person what
soever, for liquors, under penalty of losing
and forfeiting such debt. Every suit brought
by an innkeeper or • tavern keeper, for tar
ern reckonings as aforesaid, or. for a debt
contracted by a minor . ; apprentice or ser
vant, after`' a *arifille to' the contrary as
aforesaid, shall abat'e,-0 the' defendant may
plead such fact in bar thereokand'thoplain
tifFtherein-shall-pay double costs;"
,‘ Let the public'consider well tire
utes which are now in foree in this Com
monwealth, and see , that they are faithfully
observed,_and_the_number_of_taxerna will
be reduced much nearer to the wants of
"the public" than they ari l now, and at
the same time their character will be very
much elevated.
