est. With this powerful auxilary a / man will tread thj paths of’ life with-1 out meeting with obstacles. The ■ gaol which he strives to reach will be! unobstructed before him, and, with; the help of a modicum of industry, it 1 may be easily attained. His moral ; character, if not decidedly bad, will ; present no obstacle to his progress; and as for his intellectual powers, j they will be but little regarded in j these days; if they are weak, impu-j deuce will nobly supply their place. l . Without an abundant stock of this, highly-prized and necessary ingrcdi-; ent, a man, whatever may bo his i mental or moral qualifications, is i destined to pass his life in obscurity —to be little known and less respec ted—to meet with disappointment if he looks forward to that distinction which was once wont to attend a un ion of tallent and worth. If he is a mechanic and destitute of fortune and friends, with a tolera ble stock of impudence, he need not despair. 'This quality wul fiind him friends, and procure him abundance of employment. If he is a trader, or merchant and relies principally up on modest merit fur success, he will find many a lion in his path, his course through life will be all the way up hill, and if success should at lastci own his efforts, which can hardly be expect ed, it will be in consequence of a de gree of perservance and industry which is seldom But if he is blessed with impudence, the work is easy; he finds this attribute the‘o/c to credit and re- nown. With the professional man impudence is not only a powerful a I junct, but is absolutely necessary to success. No one can reasonably ex pect to take a high stand in his pro fession, whatever may be his learn- ing, his judgement, or his virtues, if he is lacking in impudence; or, as a phrenologist would say, if there is a deficiency in self-esteem, and a large devclopcmcnt of reverence. It a man seeks an elhgible situation, ci ther of profit or honor, in the gid of an individual, a corporation, or o-t government, ho is doomed to disap point unless impudence assists him, which he will often find a more val uable aid than the most zealous and powerful friends. And it he seeks an oflicc from the people, without a good share of impudence, his fate . must be disappointment. To strive to gain popular favor, without the aid of impudence, is indeed “kicking a gainst the pricks.” We find in the present age that impudence will command success in every employment of life. If we look around us, and examine the workshop, the counting room, the study, the studio, the bar, the pulpit, the rostrum, or offices of trust, profit, or honor, we shall at once be convin ced of the wo.ideriul influence which impudence exercises over the desti nies of man. If we examine our friends, ouracqiinintanccs,ourtowns mcn, we shall find that many who have figured largely in the busy world, and have been successful in achieving fortune or fame, are under infinitely greater obligations to impu dence, which will never leave its vo taries in the lurch, than to talent or intrinsic worth. A man destitute of credentials, cast among strangers, without a farthing in his pockets, if blessed with a respectable endow ment of impupence, wdl seldom be at a loss; while on the outlier hand modes iy is regarded, in such cireum vunistances, as pri m a faci evidence of RASCALITY. Impudence, so far from being checked k. restrained inearlv vouth, should be encouraged, if we seek to promote the worldly welfare of our children. Self-esteem should be excited, and reverence paralis ed, it possible, if we wish them to make their way through the world without difficulty; & doubtless those instructors of youth who endeavor to impress on the minds of their pupils the propriety of a modest demeanor, are deserving of severe reprehen sion. H hat man who is w. II ac quainted with the character of man at the present day. would wish, his children to be educated in such false principles? I'o s< nd a vouth from his homcor his with a mod- cst, gentle, unassuming demeanor, J to struggle mi the great arena of life 1 with his fellow men, is l.ke doom- ( iug a slender, unharmed youth to , combat wi.h a host of gladiators, iarmed with sword, boules, &buck-] uer. lie may strike a lew taint i blows, but will soon be demolished. ! I Pressures or 1819 —1825 —1833 j »837. —'The following article from jthe North Carolina Juornal of April j ;27th, recalls facts which every dem-i jocrat paper ought to place before; ■the eyes oi his readers. ; i It is now vociferated by the bank, i whigs that the Treasury order has; i made the distress ol 1837, and that ! nothing can relieve the distress but 'the recharter of the Bank of the U. Ntates. The article from the Norrh Caro lina Journal shows that we have four of these pressures during the exis tence yf that Bank, and that so far from preventing, it has been the main cause of each and every one of them. That Bank was chartered in 1816 and by its expansions it made the disastrous convulsions & destruction of banks* and property in 1819. . By its connection with the Bank of England it involved commerce in the lalco the English banks in 1825 when another distress and preasure came on. In 1833 it made the panic and preasure on purpose to scout age the coutry into submission, and to com pel the restoration of thd deposites and the renewal oi' its charter. The preasuie of 1837 is the fruit of reckless adventure and gambling adventure, hatched into existence by the enormous exptusion of the loans ami the circulation of that bank in 1835. Fads prove that the. Bank of the United N'tates is the main cause of the four preasures ttiat we have had since she was chartered; but to those who vocifiate for her re-establish ment as a means of preventing these pressuies, it is sufficient to recall the memory of the fact, that we have had four of these preassures during Iter existence! J > We count the Bank of the United Mates as being still in exis tence, for the Pennsylvania law con tinues her as fully as ever, and Mr. ■iddle declared al the acceptance of that charter that the bank tua.s stron ger than ever! *S'uch was his own declaration and we all know that it is more wished than ever, and more fa tally bent upon scouring the country until it submits. W e look for worse! doings from her for the next thirty! years than we have had for the last twenty, she lias made four preasures | in tin* last twenty years, which ave-i rages otie to every five years; they! will probably now be accelerated, &.( made every four years to suit the; Presi lential elections, or even every j tine<? years to allow the country no, rest. In fact the pi esent preasure is on the three years’ system, the last one having been commenced by Bid-, die and his panic orators in the sen- ! ate in December, I 533, & the same! hands having commenced this one : in the same senate in December last.

There have not been any very extensive fail ures to day; one or two have, however, been named, but the liabilities are not very heavy. There has been rather more doing in the ' bonds of the United States, and some of those which were in the first instance, remitted to France, are now finding their way in this , market. There are parties who consider these securities as very eligible investments ; and some of ihe le'ters from Manchester and Liverpool, esteem their importation into this country as a complete God send. There is lint little doubt that the circulation of these | bonds wdl temporarily relieve ihe traders be tween this countr , and the United Stalos ! but ■ whether speculatioin in them is not equally as gambling m char >cter as that of dealing in un paid Spanish or other foreign bond- - , becomes another question.

Looking, at the extensive engagements which the bink direction has already entered into not only on account of firms engaged in the American but the East India trade, it cannot be denied th it the renewal of these ap plications have plact d the bank directors in a ! very difficult and delicate position. ; From the London .Morning Herald, of the 6lh. City Friday Evening, May 5. Greater ghnm was exhibited upon the Royal ■ x change lodiy than during the previous course of this week, and it cannot now be denied that the reduced value of produce of ail kinds, i and the temporary embarrassmen's ih which the American merchants, as well as those j trading vvnh East Indies and China, have I been placed, has crea ed an anxiety that has ' not ye; been diminished by any outward ap pearance. Considerable attention has been dra w n to the tr insertions of the Bank of Eng land, but the negoci at ions in which that corpo ration has been engaged with firms applying i lor assistance, has been conducted with the ; greatest secrecy ; never heless it has trans > 1 pirrd that the bank d rectors have resolved to i support the firm t» which we retried yrsi> rday : land another of equal standing, throughout this month* Some other applications are under i consideration. It wa- currently reported hero tn day, that j some of the leading firms connected with the j India trade were making great exertions to withdraw <dl paper bearing their signatures; I from circulation. This measure, if vigorously carried into effect, will doubtless avert much evil ; but looking at the slate of the cotirner I < ial money market in the manufacturing dis , j nets in conjunction with thai ft the metrop >- j Its, very little has transpired this day to allay tie apprehension which It >s newly arisen. The lea sales continue, but with sufficient ■ inaction io indicate the little desire tor specu lalton in that description <d produce. Money (or commercial purposes has not been so rea- I dily obtained, but there have been considerable ' iransactiens in bullion.
