111 E TREASURY REPORT.
The fes which has for so many years
rested upon the Treasury Department,chill
bag and obscuring its faculties and its
figuree. has at length disappeared, and the
sun shines upon a scene of rottenness and
ruin. MI mystery and doubt have fled be
fore the magical wand of Mr. Ewxxo, and
the suspicions long entertained, the chargep
oftenveferred, are now realized to the ful•
lest extent. We congratulate the country
that there is at last, and at least a lucid in
-10141, and at this moment of its existence
we direct the attention of our readers to
the truly. lamentable condition of the Na
tional _Finances. The exposure will at
once excite surprise and indignation, while
it will unite, we trust, every patriot in a
gterious and resolute effort to repair the
evils brought about cither by imbecility or
knavery. During the four years of . Mr.
Van Buren's administration, it.appeara, the

temporary expedients- He recommends a
duty of 20 per cent. ad. valorem on foreign

RFPEAL OP TILE Cowl Eng•
land ts ocCupied with this great question.—
The scheme of Ministate is to adopt a fixed
duty on imported corn, viz: Wheat of Bs.
stg. per quarter of 8 bushels, equal to 22
cents per bushel of 70 lbs ;'ss. sig. on rye;
4s. 6d. on barley; and 3s. 4d. on oats.
, Connected with ihie scheme is another
to lower duties on loreign sugars, and by
intreasing the duties on , timber from Cana
da, in effect to lower that upon timber from
the Baltic.,
The measures all make up one schen - lei
and the consequence that it has carried the
agrieulturnts, the ship owners, the East
and West India' proprietors, and not least,
the anti•slavery interest,to combine against
ministers. The leading Tory aristocracy,
as the cliieflanded proprietors, are opposed
to a chringe in the laws that will, bring for
porn from cheap countries into compe
Yition with that raised on a soil which, like
the land of England, has to bear such a
weight of taxation. The ship owners ob
ject to the increase of duty on Canada tim
ber, and the antiailayery people, and old
Colonial slave owners, unite in declaring
that the admission of foreign sugars will ru• '
in the free suigar Colonies.
Againelthis formidable array, ministate
have the free trade people, and stronger
thrin thise, the hundreds of thousands of
operatives in the great cities_ and manu
facturing towns, whose first went is cheap
bread. -
- 9n occasion ofa petition presented in the
Houle of Lords, by Earl Fitzwilliam,sign
ed by 25,000 persons, from Leeds, in favor
of lepealittg the corn laws, the Duko of
Wellington made a speech against any
changes.
The main question upcn the alteration
ofthe corn laws will, not come on till some
time this month; but in the incidental dis
cussion upon attiring the duties on sugar,
the whole range of the subject is run through
and the leading minds of the nation are at
work.
This is undoubtedly "the word of fear"
which ministers pronounced, when, as is
freely charged, not from any love for the
measure, but for, the sake of keeping their
own places, they threw before the nation
rho proPlasition to repeal or essentially inn•
difY the corn laWs.

"To reform measures, there must be a
change of men." Without a change of
men, fraud cannot he punished; delinquen•
cies cannot be detected; unlawful allowan.
ces cannot be stopped; improper modes of
doing business, and irregular practices in
office, can never be corrected. Do not all
offices belong to the People? What right
have the inciimbento. to them than others?
No wrong is done
,to the man who is remo
ved; for he is deprived of no right. It is
the duty of the President, and all others to
whom the People have entrusted the power,
to remove their subordinates whenever they
believe the public interest requires ,it. So
fascinating is power, and so corrupting the
long possession of office, that I believe the
chances for a pure administration, would be
much greater, were a limit of eight or ten
years prescribed, beyond which no man
should be competent to hold any of the sub
Ordinate offices at Washington. is the
policy of office holders to create an impres
sion that their offices are private rights;
that they are wronged when removed; that
they .have a right to demand the reasons
for their removal, and have them formally
set forth. When the People assent to a
doctrine like this, you may bid farewell to
all hope of reform, however great may be
the abuses of our Gwernment. We shall
have Clerks, Auditors, Comptrollers, Reg. '
raters, Treasurers, and Secretaries for life;
—bad customs will never be corrected; er•
roneous principles will prevail forever; pre
cedent will take the place of laws; the offi
cial corps at Washington will govern the
Unien; and if we do pot have Presidents
for life, we shall have entailed upon us for.
ever, a succession from one office .to anoth
er, preserving the unity of the official pha
lanx, and perpetuating all- their opinions
and abuses. In my opinion, the People
have more cause to fear . too few removals
than too many."

,DREADTIIL ACCIDHNT AT HUDSON. — A
correspondent writes as follows:
HUDSON, June 5, 1841.
I !listen to. give, on an account of .a most
dreadful accident which has . taken place in
our city to-day. It has been the custom of
the chief superintendent . latterly, to let the
care go down the descent from the head of
Warren street, Without the engine or horse
power, and alwaye, thinking that a man
placed at the break Of each cur was suffi
cient for safety.
But onthe run down this morning the
breaks did not perform as well as usual,and
the consequence was that six' large freight
cars ran ofthe dock, and one lost. .The.
amount of property lost cannot be ascer
tained exactly, but as near as can be found
out, Will not be less ; than $20,000; but that
ie not 'any .thing,were the loss of life
. is taken
in consideration five persons who were
known to be to the cars were lostond
how many, more cannot be told. ; Two
were taken out, one mashed to a complete
jelly- And on the other, , all means were .
, tried, but in vain, to resuscitate him.
HYDROPHOIIIA.—An afflicting case of ;
this terrible disorder, has just terminated
fatally at Barite . tn. The subject was a
little girl named Mary Myers, daughter of
Lawrence Myers. She was bitten in
March by a dog which soon went mad and
was killed. No evil consequences were
anticipated from the bite of the little girl,
however. The first symptom of disease
was noticed by the mother only a few days
since, appearing like mental aberation. The
mother proposed walking with her to a'
physician. But the child was strangely
affected by the air and light. During the
walk she ran into a neighbor's house to
hide herself. She then hid for fear in her
mother's bosom—begging to be allowed to
return home and go to bed. Subseqaently
light, air, and water produced spasms, and
she expectorated phlegm and froth. After
a few days of spasmodic and shudderibg
affections, she died4n the most frightful con
vulsions—Con:mere:a/ Advertiser.
EXECUTION. —At W ilmington, N. C. last
week, a young man named Madison John
son was hung for the murder of Henry
Beasley. • When brought under the gallows
he addressed the peOple for nearly au hour,
in an unfaultering and audible voice— %Yarn
ing them, and especially the young, against
the evil practices of gambling, inteniper
anco and night carousals, to which he at
tributed his ignominious and untimely death!
He said he had been deaf to the good ad
vice given him by his parents; and that the
crime for which he was to pay the forfeit
of his life was committed under the influ
ence of liquor and passion; and added, that
if be had never indulged in the practice of
drinking, he should then be free!

A RACE AGAINST TIME : 4 -4 Man, whose
name we could not learn, made a bet the
other day of 01,000 that he could ride 900
miles in 24 consecutive hours on as many
different horses, over the Beacon Course
near Hoboken, New Jersey. The bet was
taken, and he commenced at 8 o'clock on
Thursday evening accomplished 200 miles
in the first 12 hours, and yesterday at five
minutes after 5 o'clock completed the task
—being 52 minutes within the time, and
winning the bet. It is to be supposed that
he suffered somewhat by the enterprize.—
This we are told is the greatest distance
ever performed in the same time in this
country, or we believe in England, where
270 miles is the greatest distance if' our
advice is correct, that has ever been ac
cornplished in 24 consecutive hours.--1V•

The. President's Message was taken
westward with great rapidity. Messrs.
Stockton& Falls delivered it in Wheeling
to twontynine hours from Washington. and
Messrs. Neil, Moore & Co. carried it from
Wheeling to Columbus, Ohio, (a distance
0127 miles,) in fourteen hours—making
the whole distance from Washington to
Columbus in the short time of forty-four
hours and three, quartets.

that Dr. Braddeo, the mail robber,hris been
convicted on three distinct charges. Ells
punishment will be Imprisonment from six
to thirty years. Two of his accomplices,
Strayer and Corman, have pleaded guilty,
and the trial of Pinnell,Dr. Braddee's Clerk,
will be proceeded with immediately.--Bolt.

A SINGULAR Town.--A correspondent
of the Fayetteville (N. C.) Observer, in
noticing the census, says: "In the juvenile%
department I find 287 unmarried ladies be
tween the nges of sixteen and thirty, and
405 between the ages of ton and sixteen.—
To counterbalance that, we have but 48
young men of marring,etible age; but ten
out of that lumber are in a situation that
would justify their "taking the responsibili
ty;" five out of that number have determin
ed to lead a life of single blessedness, and
the remaining five are not worth having.
Pnotartc.--The Hartford Courier states
that the wife of Mr. Elijah Brown, of Presi
toe, recently gave birth to three boys—
being Mrs B's second edition of boys o
three at a time. The first edition was is
sued about three years . since, and were
lettered with the names of Elijah, Elias,
and Eltaha. It is doubtful whether a pa.
rallel can be found of six living brothers at
two births.
Mr. Abraham Hooper, of Martinsborgh,

a few days ago by hanging himself with a
silk handkerchief.
QUESTION nv A SoParwr.—Over a cer
tain river there is a bridge. And at ono
end of - the bridge a gallows, and at the oth
er a house of Judicature, with tour Judges
who pass the following law:—"Whoever
passes over this bridge, must first take an
oath and swear where he is going, and what
is his business; if he swear to the truth he
shall go free; but if he swear falsely he shall
be hanged on the gellowe." Now a certain
man taking the oath swore that he was go
ing to be hanged on the gallows, and that
was hie business and ao other. "Now,"
said the judges, "if we let this man go free,
he swears a lie, and by the law ought to be
hanged—while if we hang him, he swears
the truth, and by the same law ought to go
free."
How shall they proceed with this man
according to this law, or what will be a just
verdict.
GIVING 171' rrs DEan.--In consequence
of the funeral salute fired on Thursday, at
New York, by the United States vessels in
port, in honor of Commodore Claxton, the
dead bodies came to the surface is the riv
er and bay. One of them was a woman,
supposed to be Sally Jones, who threw her
self oft James Slip, on Monday night.--
One was a ensile infant, and the three oth
ers were bodies of men unknown.
To CURE SCRATCHES ON A HORSE.—
Wash the legs with warm strong soap-subs,
and then with beef brine. Two applica
tions will cure the worst case.
To TARE INK OUT OF LINEN.--Take a
piece of mould candle, or common candle
will do nearly as well, melt it, and dip the
spotted part of the linen into the melted tal
low. It may then be washed, and the spots
will disappear without injurying them.

THE SENATE--BUB.TREASURY..
The Senate went into committee of the
whole upon Mr. Clay's Bill to repeal the
Sub Treasury.
Mr. Clay in a speech at length explained
his view upon the subject. if the Sub-
Treasury act was repealed, the law of 1839,
1816 and 1836, would be, he thought, re
vived. He preferred, however, so to amend
his Bill as to repeal the last mentioned act
so far as relates to State Banks. He pre
sumed there Was no disposition to renew the
system of depositing the revenues in State
Banks—and as all the disordei of the cur
rency he hoped would soon be sealed by the
creation of n fiscal agent, he hoped his a
mendment and bill would prevail.'
Mr. Calhoun was willing to go back to
the act of 1839, requiring the payment of
theorovenue in gold and silver, but he was
not willing to stop at the act of 1836, for this,
with the repeal of the act of 1839, would
leave the public money under the control of
the executive head.
Mr. Clay replied' by a reference to the
history of 1833, when Genl. Jackson re
moved the public money, and contended
that tho Secretary of the Treasury was
the mere creature of the Executive power.
The Whigs, ho said, voted for the act of
1839 as a half way• measure, restraining in
part the F:xecutimpower, and it would soon
be seen that tbo Whigs were not in favour
of the union of the purse and the sword.
Mr. Calhoun contendqUhat Gen. Jack
son declared in his Messraes that the Pub.
lie Money should be under the control of
Law, and the act of 1836 was passed in
pursuance ot such recommendation. Repeal
the Sub Treasury, and this act of 1836,
said Mr. Calhoun, and Geo. Jackson claim
ed no power the Executive would not have.
Mr. Rives then addressed the Sbnate in
reference to the condition of the Treasury
when the deposits were removed, and in
the course of this, and a subsequent speech,
expressed' n wish that nothing but -- a , mere
repeal of the Sub-Treasury act would now
take place, 'leaving to Congress further
time to create such a system of guarding
and managing the public money as in their
wisdom they may devise. He objected to
the repeal of the act 1836, at this time,and
hoped Mr. Clay would occupy neutral
ground without striking at the State Banks.
Mr. Mangum was sure this Congress
would not adjourn withoutplacing theßeven
ue under the control of law.
Mr. Preston thought the only difference
of opinion was as to time, all agreed the
Executive ought not to have entire control
of the public funds.
Mr. Berrien of Ga. concurred in the view
of Mr. Rives. It was also due, he said,
to Whig consistency, that the act of 1836
be not repealed so as to leave the public
money under executive control.
Mr. Clay said he would not .urge his
amendment, though it was misunderstood.
The same explanation upon the effect
of the repeal of the act of 1830 took place
between Mr. Clay and Mr. Calhoun, when
Nit.. Berrien expressing a wish for time to
examine the subject, the Senate near 5
o'clock adjourned.
Correspondence of the Philadelphia Inquirer.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
The first business in order was the con•
sideration of the resolution offered on Thurs
day, by Mr. Wise, providing for the ap.
pointment of a committee to prepare and
report rules for the government of the
House, and that the rules of last Congress
be the rules of this House, until said corn.
mittee shall make report, together with the
amendment oflered thereto by Mr. Adams,
to exclude the 2 1st rule, which provides
that no petition asking the abolishment of
slavery in the District of Coluinbia shall
be received or entertained by the House.
Mr. Wise rose and asked permission to
read en extract from the journals of Con.
gress of a date some thirty years back,
from which he showed that here was prece.
dent for the rejection of petitions. Mr.
-Wise addressed the House for some time
in opposition to the amendment of Mr.
'Adams.
Mr. Adams replied, and commenced by
remarking that the mountain bad labored
and brought forth a mouse. (Great laugh.
ter.) He then, in a tone somewhat ironi•
cal, congratulated Mr. Wise, for this good
fortune in finding the precalent quoted by
him. Mr. Adams addressed the House for
some time, and contended moat earnestly
for the right of petition. He was in favor
of this right to its greatest extent, but de
clared that at the time he would present
petitions in favor of the abolishment of sin.
very in the District of Columbia, he' would
inform those who desired their presentation,
that he would neither advocate nor vote for
the abolishment of said slavery. He con•
sidered that these petitions should be recei
ved, referred to a committee, considered,
and reported upon to the HoUse. It was
due to the petitioners, as American citizens,
that this course shquld be adopted.
Several other gentlemen addressed the
House, when the previous question was cal
led, and the main question on the adoption
of the aniendment of Mr. Adams,) ordered.
The vote was then taken, and the amend.
meat °tiered by Mr. Adams, to exclude the
. 21st rule, was adopted by' a vote of 112 to
104. All the Pennsylvania delegation vo
ted in' the affirmative, with the exception of
Messrs. Bidlack and Gerry.
Mr. Wise then rose end stated that since
the House, had adopted the amendment of
Mr. Adams, he must betonstrained to vote
against the Teiolution. He therefore moved
to lay the whole question upon the table.
A !notion was here made to adjourn,
which was lost—Yeas 65; Nays 126.
Mr:' Fillmore thin moved the prev.ous
qoestion, on the adoption of' the resolution
as amended,'and argued that it had prece•
dance - over th,e motion to lay on the table,
in which he was sustained by the Speaker.
The. Previous Question was sustained,
when a motion was mnde to adjourn, but
lost by a vote of Yeas 91; Nays 04.

of the resolution as amended; , and resulted

Mr. Fillmore oilfired a resolulion, direct•

Mr. Sergeant Moved to amend, by ad
ding, that a select committee of moo
be, appointed, to whom shall be referred all
matters relating to a National Bank er fiscal
agent, and that said committee be instruct
ed to report on said subject at an early day
—which' was accepted by Mr. Fillmore, as
a modification of his resolution.
division of the question was called by
Mr. Bidlack, of Pennsylvania, to end with
that part of the resolution instructing the
Speaker. to appoint the committee, which
was granted, and the first division carried
without a count. On the second division,
relative to a National Bahk, the ayes and
nays were called, and resulted as follows:
yeas 125--nays 90. So the resolution
was agreed to, and the House adjourned.
WAerarnnoN, June 8, 1841.
.The Senate proceeded to consider. the
special order, being the bill to repeal the
dub-Treasury Bill.
Afler some conversation between.. Messrs.
Clay, Calhoun and Walker, upon the state
of the question, Mr. Calhoun's amendment
to Mr. Clay's amendment was accepted,
yition both were voted down. So the Sen-
ate refused to repeal the act of 1830,.which
left the-bill as Mr. Clay reported it. .
Mr. Clay said he would not commit him
self to a fleet of State Banks, and attempt
to go on with them; and he holiecl , that if
the act of 1836 was renewed, much would
be done to make it acceptable to thechting.
ed condition of this country.,
A long series of amendments were then
- submitted, chiefly by
.Mr: Benton, which
generally proposed to retain some partial.,
lar features of the Sub-Treasury act, but
they were all voted tiwn. -
When Mr. Benton proposed specially,
name, to by me,o forbid a deposit ol the pub.
he money being made in the . Bank of the ,
United States. •
. .
Mr. Clay replied that it would be . as well
to except nny other Bank by name. He
had no idea that the public money would
be deposited there; but it was below the
dignity of Congress to except that Bank by
name. A long controversy ensued upon
this, when the proposition was negatived—
ayes 20, noes 28. _
In the centre of the debate Mr. -Buchan
an said he should obey his instructions, and
on the repeal of the Sub-Treasury, very
reluctantly vote with the Senator from Ken
tucky..
The Bill was then reported to the Senate
as amended, and passed as follows:
Ayes —Messrs. Barrow, Bates, Bayard,

PROCEEDINGS IN THE HOUSE.
On motion of Mr. Morgan, the House
agreed to go into an election of officers,
previous to which Mr. Gilmer presented
the petitton of Wm. Smith, Esq. contesting
the election of Linn Banks, Esq. which was
referred.
A fruitless attempt was then made to
elect a Sergoant-at-Arms, when coasidera•
ble confusion arose, by a motion made by
Mr. Ingersoll, to reconsider; the vote by
which, on last evening, the House had con
sented to receive abolition petitions. Fi
nally Mr. Ingersoll consented to have his
motion acted upon to morrow.
Mr. Adams, from the select committee
on that subject, reported a bill for the relief
of the widow of the late President. It was
read twice and referred to a committee of
the whole. There is no specific sum men•
tioned in the bill.
The House then adjourned.
WASHINGTON, June 9, 1841.
SENATE.—THE PUBLIC LANDS.
Mr. Clay gave notice that he should to
morrow ask leave to introduce a Bill to pro
vide for the distribution of the proceeds of
the Public Lands.
Mr. Clay of Ala.,presented certain Reso.
lutions from the Legislature of Alabama
upon the subject of the Public Lands.
Mr. Smith of Ind. expressed his wish
that the Senate would .now determine
whether any business of this kind was to
be sent to the , Committee on the Public
Lands, of which he was a member. He
was friendly to the object of the• resolution,
but had doubts whether there could be any .
action on the subject at this Extra Session.
Mr, Huntington said if the subject was
referred, others of a' 'similar character
might be .expected to follow. He moved to
lay the memorial upon the table. •
Mr. Smith of Ind. submitted a resolution
which lies upon • the table, calling for in•
formation in detail as to the quantity of
Public Lands sold at different periods, and

THE.SUB-TREASURY DILL
This. Bill having been read a third limo,
the question now was on its engrossment;
when Mr. Woodbury ,took the floor, and at
considerable length addressed the . Senate
upon the general benefit of the Sub-Trea
sury Act, and upon his administration of the
currency. He warmly defended the Sub.,
Treasury Bill, and did not wish to leave the
currency under the control of the Execu.
tive, as it would be, if the repeal took place,
and no especial act was passed.
Mr. Calhoun yet belieyed that the Course
of the gentlemen en the other side was such
as to leave the public money under the con
trol of tho Executive, and he reasoried
against that at length.
Mr. Benton attempted the introduction
of a resolution declaring the repeal of the
Sub-Trensury inexpedient, which the Sen.

SECRETARY WEBSTER AND MINIS
TER FOX-THE M'LEOD CAGE-COR
RESPONDENCE.
Mr. Fox, the British Minister, has writ
ten a letter to Mr. Webster, our Secretary
of State, and the latter has replied to it,and
enclosed a copy of his instructions to the
Attorney General of the United States.
The strong, pints of thelwo letters (says
Rho New York Herald,) may ~be, briefly
told. Mr. Fox's letter comprises but two
points. He says that the British have
fully approved of the burning 'of the Caro•
line, and justified all the acts of their min
ister here coneequent thereon; -and have,
secondly, instructed him to demand the im
mediate and unconditional release of Mc-
Leod. Mr. Tor's' letter also contains
some remarks relative to the internal rela
tions between the State and the Federal
Governments,which Mr. Webster evidetitly
considered benesth his notice.
Mr. Webiter's letters are, in every re
spect, able and eloquent productions. He
says, and says justly, that the peculiar na
ture of the assertions of justification, by ,
the British Government, is not understood
either by the President or binned', and wo
may add that we do not believe Mr. Fox
himself understands upon what grounds the.
British Government intends to justify the
aitack upon the Caroline.
And here, Mr. Webster, in the most
manly manner ' states what are the reat
feelings of tho General Government on this
point. He says:
"The undersigned has now to signify to
Mr. Fox that the Government of the Uni
ted States has not changed : the opinion
which it has heretOfore expressed to Hor
Majesty's Government, or the character of
the act of destroying the "Caroline.",
This is by. no means abandoning any
honorable point that the Government of
this country ought to contend for. He
also adds that the. Generol Government
still thinlis that there is no provision extant
in the law of nations, connected with the
right defensive by which tSe attack on tbe
Caroline ' taken in all its details, could
possibly be justified; and that is the position.
which has been uniformly maintained.
Mr. Webster nobly vindicates the neu
tral position of this country since the Revo•
lution, and fearlessly appeals to her past
and spotless history for jurisdiction in that
particular. At the same time, gives Mr.
Fox to understand that Great, Britian is not
quite Si) free from reproach on that pnint as
she would have it appear to the world. . ---
The errors and temptations came from Bri
tish subjects, and were palsied as goon as
possible by the General Government. .
Wercome now to the whole, pith of' Mi.,
Webster's letter, which is contained in the
concluding paragrnplis; and as they contau
so much , force, and eloquence..place ail

net justified by the necessity of self-defence,
must be limited by that necessity, and kept
clearly within it. It must be shown that
admonition or remonstrance to the persons
on board tho "Caroline" was impracticable,
or would have been unavailing: it must be
I shown that daylig ht could not be waited
for; that there could be no attempt at (Its-
crimination between the innocent and the
guilty, that it would not have been enough
to seize and detain the vessel; but that there
was a necessity, present and inevitable, for
attacking her, in the darkness of the night,
while moored to the shore, and while un
armed mon were asleep on board, killing
some nnd wounding others, and then draw
ing hor into the current, above the cataract,
getting her on fire, and, careless to know
whether there might not be in her the in
nocent with the . guilty, or tho living with
the dead, committing her to .a Into which
fills the imagination with horrore A ne
cessity for -all this the government of the
United States cannot believe to have ekisted.
will see that if such things be allow
ed .o occur, they might lead to bloody and
exasperated war; and when an individual
comes into the United States from Canada,
and to the very place on rvhich this drama
was performed, and there chooses to make
public and vain glorious boast of the part
he acted in it, it is hardly wonderful that
great 'excitement 'should be created and
some degree of commotion arise.
This Republic does not wish to disturb
-the tranquility of the world. Its object is I
peace, - its policy peace. It seeks no ag
grandizement by foreign conquests, because
it knows that no foreign acquisition .could
augment its power and importance so rap
idly.as they are already advancing by its
awn natural growth, under the propitious
circumstances of its Situation. Rut it can
not admit that its government has not both
the will and the power to preserve its own
neutrality, and to enforce the observance of
its own laws upon its•own citizens. It is
jealous of its rights, and among others, and
most especially, of the tight of the absolute
immunity of its territory against aggression
, from abroad; and these rights it is the duty
I 'and the determination of this Government
'fully and at all times to maintain; while it
will at the same time, as scrupulously refrain
from infringing on the rights of others.
TIM President instructs the undersigned
to spy. in ,conclusion, that he confidently
trusts that this •and all other questions of
difference between the two Governments
will bo treated,by both in the full exercise
' of such a spirit of candor, justice, and mu
tual respect as shall give assurance of the
long continuance of peace between the two
countries.
The undersigned avails himself - of this
opportunity to assure Mr. Fox of his high
consideration.

From the New Etedfard Mercury.
A Wirte bottle which had drifted ashore
en the Horse Neck beach, at the mouth of
Buzzard's Bay, was picked up on Saturday
last by Mr. John Devoll, of Westport, and
• was flitted to contain a slip torn from the
side•margin of a newspaper, upon which
.-the following memorandum had been pen.
culled:
"Steam ship President, sole survivor
the Stewart—in a small boat.
Save me--20th May."
The fragment of paper upon which this
is wiitten is n strip about six inches long
and one inch wide, and judging from the
typography which is seantily indented upon
both sides,ol one of the edges, as also from
its' corresponding texture, it' appears to
have been torn from the Philadelphia Ga
zette and Commerciallntelligencer although
we cannot identify it in this respect with
• certainty. •We state what has thus come
to our knowledge, leaving it to otherswho
are interested, to form their own conclu
clugiona. For ourselves we are strongly
inclined to believe it to be an imposture,
however difficult it must be to conceive of
the motive, which could thus induce any
individual wantonly to trifle with the sym
pathies of hundreds, who are anxiously in
terested in the fate of the unfortunate pas•
sengers and crew, who were embarked in
tho•Preaident. The President, it will be
recollected, sailed from New York on the
11th of March.
• We-agree with the editor of the Mercu
ry, in conceiving this to be a shameful im
posture. But why, or with what motive,
or under the influence of what feeling, men
can get up such impostures, utterly pauses
our comprehension4- 1 -N. y. cam:

Democratic Candidate
FOR GOVERNOR,
JOHN BANKS,

.1 well-merited Compliment.
We are gratified to loam that the Honorary
Degree of M. D. was conferred upon two of, our
townsmen, at tho recent commencement of the
gilirashingion Medical University of Baltimore.
The gentlemen upon whom this distinction has
been conferred are Doctor DAVID Honsrat and
Dr. C. N. DenLuccus. It could not have boon
conferred on gentlemen whose skill, science and
eminent ability in their profession, bettor ehtitle
them to it. They present a happy contrast to
many of the empirical pretenders of the day who
ore sustained , only by factitious influences and
the Teal of sect or party. '
' The compliment is enhanced by. tho quarter
from which it comes, as it could not have been
prompted by any feelings of local pride, attach
ment, interest, or influence, which too often We
vote the worthless and 'undeserving to stations,
they to say the least, do no honor to.
Repeal. of the Suh-Treasury
HIM
ft will be seen by the vote recorded in another
column, that the Senate of the United States
have taken a decisive vote upon the condemned
Sub-Treasury Bill, as John Crisis Calhoun styles
it. The Hon. James Buchanan very unwillingly
told his compeers, that he had the choice presen
ted to him, either to "obey or resign." He voted
in favor of the engrossment of the Bill for final
reading; but when it came up on third and last
reading, meanly "dodged" ther question. • Stur
geon. it will be observed, voted regardless of his
instructions against tho repeal of the Bill. How

have spoken, those" which were the Most zealous

and fed by government, are the loudest in their
appeals for justice to our friends. If the policy
of a general remoral from office is condemned by
Locofoco office-holders and office hunters as pro
scriptive, be it so. We submit to that omnipo

upon the competency of the men then in power,
and their clerks and minions, and which has pro
nounced them incompetent—whether now, when
the fiat has been issued—when the work of re

to those wo hold—who condemn the measures

(furnished by ourselves) will be turned upon
every occasion to our harm. It is hardly to be

PURGATIOIs: vs. BLOODLI3I7INO.—AII parts
of the blood aro not with equal ease suppli
ed, nor with equal ease discharged from
the system. The former of these positions
is well illustrated by comparing the effects
of bloodletting with those of purgatives.—
We receiver from the effects of many times,
the quantity,discharged by the latter means
in half the time required in the cage of
bloodletting; becausti by the one it is chiefly
the watery part of the blood which is
drained off; by the other, along with this,
the more essential parts also. While
purgation lessons the quantity of blood, it
leaves what remains richer. Titus the
crasomeotum oxygen is left,which is indeed
the life of the blood, the watery part of the
blood being only that which is discharged
by purgatives. Think of this, you whose
constitutions are inclined to plethora, and
in time purge with .that most innocent of
all purgatives!, the farfamed Brandreth
Vegetable Universal - Pills. They are
known to act on every part of the body;
being taken up by chyle they pass into the
blood, which they purify; and it should be
remembered that they remove only those
watery parts from the blood which were
the cause of inflammation. Nothing is
equal to riding the vitiated humors with a
vegetable medicine of this kind; which
eighty four years have proved never, to do
injury, but always good. -
