i.._propriety and policy of pi posing to the people

State, tinder the fortis okthe 10th article of
.thatimstintnent, by which the income from the

'-'' "Iles gradual-liquidation of the piincipal. Such
an amendment judieiouslY arranged, would ~ I
apprehend, meet with th(s decided approbation
'of the people of the Comtunnwealth. It would
`concentrate public sentiMent upon a fixed- ob- I
jest, remove all doubt of the fulness of the pub
:- !leered* and lay the fOandation for the' final
extinguishment of the plblie debt.. It would ,
--.. give an additional security and assurance toj
.the people, and to the Iltiblie creditors, that,
le'no event could the public revenue be divert-' ,
-• ed from its legitimate Ohject, and would fur
nish conclusive reasons for the prompt and
eheerful payment of the taxes."
From a comparison ot:this extract from the
Governor's message, with statement of the
~.present condition. of things, it will be seen that
the treasury is in a muck better state than he
-anticipated. • 1
This shows that he was determined to keep
-within proper limits, rather than exceed the
reality, in his estimates, t kinth gives conclusive'
evidence of his caution and judgement, which
entitles his opinions to tie reliance and confi
dence of the public- He makes no statements
-for Buneomb, to reisleadiantrdeceive the
:peo
ple. He told the legislature that there would
be a deficiency to meet the interest due on the i
-fret of February last, MO that it would be cc- !
.eessary to make a tempdtary loan to supply it,l
but that , this would not sfect the estimated re-
suit of-the whole year. iiiie had no conceal-1
meats on this subject. '4.le knew the fact, and;
,be told.it honestly. The loan had to be made,
er the payment of a porttn of the interest post- i
_.pond.,_, It, was made ast the interest—paid.
Ana what has been the result? The loan {
lasi:been repaid from th:a treasury, and the in- i
terest which fell due oathe first of the present I
month, amounting to 049,781,7(1, has also '
been paid, and a balance of _5327,227,34, left I
in the treasury on the s.,tmeda •

`revenue Which - we may have, first, to the Mime- ~

says •

" I felt a curiosity to inquire into the truth
of this matter;. and every person.with whom I '
conversed upnn the subject , admitted the be
lief of the tuain facts of the story, some rather
reluctantly, however ; . all of these persons had

i that there wetre no arms or valuables found a

PAFTEBO.4,SII) SueEs.—The Artisan says:—
We have just examined a specimen of eheatery
in shoes, of *hich kind we had heard, but nev
crhaa suppokFed it fact. The shoes are of the,
coarse broga4 kind, such as sell at retail for $1
and 11,25 cats. What is usually the sole. is;
in this case, 4nly very thin, poor leather—it
may be Ameba:in. The welt is very .thick,
coarse leatliti. to which both upper leather and
stile are sewed or pegged ; the deficiency inside
is supplied b thick yellow straw pasttiboard
The shoes thus appear to have very good stop
soles. A very little wear carries away the t i
skin of aisoh\ and the yellow I.aste&oard pre
stints itself, itnd the cheatery is thus exposer
too late for the purchaser. We have seen all
t this—het u 1 do not put it under our head u

After all,.Tthere is nothing so vexatious _an

we wait for - the marriage, or, (so say the books,

Whether thy; übject be certain or uncertain. 4
We repeat there is nothing so vexatious anil
annoying as. suspense. Even the blow thalt
scatters our brightest anticipations is made
welcome byithe fact that it, also dissipates city
suspense. ;fit is well known that of the thou`
