A MOTHER'S LOVE.
A Mother's Love—how sweet the name !
What is a Mother's Love I
A noble, pure and tender llame,
Enkindled from above ;
To bless a heart of earthly mould,
The wannest love that can grow cold:
This is a Mother’s Love.
To bring a helpless babe to light,
Then while it lies forlorn,
To gaze upon that dearest sight,
And fuel herself new born ,
In its existence lose her own,
And live and breathe in it alone :
This is a Moth r’s Love.
Its weakness in her arms to boar.
To cherish on her breast;
Feud it from Leva's own fountain there,
And 101 l it llrcro to rest;
Then while it slumbers, watch its breath,
As if to guard front instant death:
This i; a Mother's Love.
To mark its growth from day to day,
It i opening charms admire ;
t- ateh from its eye (ho earliest ray
Os intellectual fire;
To listen when it talks,
And lend a finger when it walks:
This is a Mother’s Love.

Gongrost bad passed an ad in 17Si), to

made, and Hut statute bud been executed
at a very trifling expense, for llio system
of Jobbing bad not been tmconiagcd by
the State government*, wiiich bad only

utility.
Hut on the pa ago of (bis act did wo
find States,commercial cities, corporations,

nies pournig in upon Congress to improve
their harbors, and make now one s, tit the
common expense of the nation ? Not so.
They never dreamed of such a thing.—
Sitca works bad been constructed n* (bo
expense ol'ihom who wore boncliitcd by
them, and it never occurred, to any body
that such work should bo constructed at
the national cod. Until recently, a sys
tem bad been introduced resulting in bene
fits entirely local, building up cities, and
enriching individuals at the cost of I Ik; Go

lie had drawn off, be said, a statement
which would show how far Senators were
in error when they supposed this system
bad commenced with the Government.—
The first appropriation ho had been able
to find for such objects as those contained

political economists of this country, as one

end ho, wo had sent to us bills front the
House for near three millions, including
lighthouses, and upwards of two millions
for harbors alone. The bill for new works,

for a harbor, and thon sold out their lots on |
speculation. Thousands were squander
ed in bribes fur votes, by making an ap
ppropriation for subjects entirely useless,
and where tho only advantage was a job in
i the expenditure of the money.
Mr. K. said it could not be disguised,
; and ought not lo bo denied, tliuttbis aboini

j bill, although bo pronounced it “a bill of j
• ■botnimitio.i , ' and hoped it might be ar
’ rc-ilcd in the Henate. 'i'lic member allu
de 1 1 i bad pronounced this new harbor bill
one of the most corrupt combination* of
j interested speculation that bad ever dis
! graced the country, and such Mr. K. said
I tin believed it.
Mr. K. Ilian called the attention of the
J .-''-nate to mini In. v liiek liy winch these
ni'inag rs b id fiiniis!i,.’d evidence of their
' tlb !• won! Ibe rocollecled that we bud ’

j ami sent it to the other Mouse. We have
! never beard of it since, said Mr.-K. until \
j tve fiii'l it ur/iht/ft/ incorporated la the ■
j 'll ms! cr before in. Why was this ? Why, |
i i ( was only to unite the interests of tho two [
j bdls. ,'unongotlior things, no doubt, groat

I Inral linion between the Urencli and the i
j I j icnds, wo are, said bo, swept on by a j
j current an irresistible as that of the Mis- 1
! i cippi itself.
And here lie was reminded, he said, of j
Ike cm ioii; argument of tho Senator from i
Connecticut (.Mr. Ailc-s.) That Senator!
: bad given ns sound doctrine, w ith much t
ability, null great earnestness. Ho bad j
pronounced tho whole system wrong, par-1
ti a 1 ( , iinconstiMifional, and unjust, and con- j
demncil (lie bill as very objectionable ; yet !
concluded by saying ho should vole fin- the
bill, because now (be system bad commen
d'd. tve coiildmol stop it! I know “wo
can t stop it,” said Mr. K., unless wc vote
against it.' This fraudulent expenditure is
doubling on us by millions, per annum, and
gentlemen denounce it, as in duty bound :
express (heir alarm, shut their eyes, and
role, for if, and flay, “ wo can’t slop it.”
-Mr. K. said be felt some difficulty in com
prebending the principle which led to this
fatal necessity.
He hoped even the friends of (lie bill
would have some mercy upon the Smith
and W csf, and be satisfied at (he present I
session with (ho enormous bill already I
passed. Let us, said be, have a (idle time j
to recover from dm shock, and look into |
this heavy bill pushed upon ns at the very i
I I t hour ol the last day of tho session, in
volving tin expenditure so enormous, and
which the committee themselves tell ns .
tney 'have had no lime to examine. He ,
n.iji ’d (hey would allow the bill to lie over .
tiil the next session,to give time to learn, at
least, tchcre the places arc for whose bone
.it wo proposed to saddle tho country with
elicit a last expenditure. There was a
nollier reason, bo said, why die friends of
die bill should lie content with (bis course.
'Flint was, (ho great amount of our appro- ,
priafions during the prevent year, and the ,
extreme difficulty of procuring labor til any
price. Labor was now bno hundred per j
cent, on the usual prices. And tho groat ,
additional demand that would bo created j
by tlic ie large Government expenditures, ,
would render it impossible to expend any ]
thing during die present year with any re- .
gat'd to economy. Ho hoped these con- !
siderations would induce the .Senate lo i
postpone the bill to tho first dav of the !
next session, and ho made a motion for
that purpose.

On the third reading of a Rail Road r
Hbl, •))'-' Duke of Wellington made the jr
billowing remark, which may he worthy r
of attention here:— “ ‘ L
“I he Duke of \V cllington hoped that I
all the rail roads would be successful, !
but he equally hoped that perpetual tno- if
Jtopolies would not be created by them.! li
He was strongly of opinion that Pallia- k
nicnt ought to insert into (hose bills a 1
clause giving lo Government or to Par- li
lament a power to revise the enactments t<
ol (lie bills at any future time. Great si
injustice was done by (he passing of ma- si
id the bills, and immense iiieonveni- A
‘me and expense occasioned to many jel
lai ties. If the proprietors and future j w
iroprietors were tube permitted to be w
qustiluled perpetual monopolising bo- dt
lies, the only way of ever getting tho jni
letter of them would be by making'fresh j
ines of road at great expense to the pub-1 tit
>c, ami inconvenience to proprietors. ■th
He had had for some days a scheme un
ider consideration for having rad road
i bills placed under the control of Parlia
mental any future period, and lie hoped
die proposed third reading would bt
postponed for a few days, that lie might
have time to mature the scheme. He
thought it was a measure that Govern
ment ought to take into their hands; and
it they did so, he should be happy to
share in the responsibility of bringing
forward such a measure.”
j The debate on the Lords’ amendment

LATER FROM HAVRE.
By Hie packet ship Normandie, Capt.
Pell, Havre and Paris papers have been
received to the evening of June 1 Ith, in
clusive.
There Was a spirited debate on the 10th,
in the Chamber of Deputies, on Hie Al
gerine question. The President of the
Council expressed his unalterable con
viction that France would be. wanting to
herself) and to a due regard for her gkij-y
and prosperity, were she to abandon Al
giers. 1 lie intention of the French go
vernment was to persevere in its efforts
to preserve the French possessions in
Africa. At the same time, wore. Hie con
quest of Algiers still tube undertaken,
and were troops and vessels of war de
manded from the Chamber for Hie subju
gation of that territory, he would be the
first to repel the demand. Ho was op
posed to the expedition against Algiers,
in 1830, but when he learned its success,
he sympathized with the general feeling
of tho French nation, and was proud of
the conquest. If Algiers wore abandon
ed by France, it would be immediately
occupied by England, the United States,
or Russia, or become (he prey of pirates,
who would injure the trade in the Medi
terranean. It had been urged that a part
of the coast only might be occupied. In
liis opinion, it would be belter to demand
the total abandonment of Algiers, Hum
Hie occupation limited to (lie eoast. Such
{an occupation would expose the army to
[incessant attacks from (lie Arabs, and
I would render it necessary to keep up as
| strongn lorce as fora general occupation.
The correspondence of the Journal tin
| Havre says, “ tho discussion of yester
day has proved one thing, which is, that
i the Chamber is almost unanimously for
the preservation of Ylgiers.”
Captain I’ardaillun, of the brig Filbert,
has been commissioned to visit Hie Ei
lisb Leeward Islands, to examine the ef
fects of the measure of Emancipation. j
Extract ol a letter ol the -ith June, from |
Toulon :
“ I believe if is now certain (bat, the
squadron, which transported Hie rein
forcement of 4000 men to Genl. IVAr
bmges, will go to Tangici sto overawe Hie
Emperor ot Morocco. Lliis squadron,
which consists of live ships of Hie line, a
Irigate, and two ships of smaller force,
will be assembled by (lie 10th at Mers
el-Keber, and while the army, which, it
is said, will be commanded bV Gen. Bug
sand, marches against Abde Kuler, tlu> 1
naval force will be supporting (he de- i
maud of an explanation from (he Empe- 1
ror of Morocco to bis more than equivo- 1
cal conduct during our contest with the
Emir.
It is said that M, Liners has despatch
ed an order to Admiral Rouissin to in- 1

Fire. —About 10 o’clock, last nffiit, a fii'obroke
out in Mr. Dearborn's printing, establishment in
Cold street, opposite Dr. Parkinson's church,
which was destroyed; the wall of which fell on
the carpenter's shop of Mr. Bloomer, next door,
and destroyed it. Several stables in the rear
were also burned. About half an hour previous
to the breaking out of this fire, an attempt was
made to fire the Methodist Church in Jolm-strcet,
by firing it in the rear, which was discovered tie
lore it had done much damage; both, no doubt,
were tho work ot an incendiary, who, we learn,
was arrested I i t night.
Anotiicr fire broke out at 12 o'clock, in the
house No. ISO Franklin street, which was de
stroyed, together with ISt and 183, and six or
seven houses on Greenwich street, besides seve
ral roar buildings, principally occupied by people
in indigent circumstances.

ABOLITIONISM.
\Ve find in the hist Emancipator the following
account of the progress ot the Abolitionists, taken
from the V\ cstchestor Herald. Our readers will
recollect we some lime since published a fourth of
July oration of Mr, Pinckney, delivered in 1833,
in which he warned the South oftho danger to
their safety and interests, and to the Union itself,
from the machinations of the Abolitionists. lii
that oration, he hooted at the idea, entertained
and expressed by some persona, that the Aboli
tionists were few in number, and insignificant in
other respects. We call the attention of our .rea
ders to tho cxJ-.ibii made in tho extract below, of
the state of the Abolitionists at that time, and now.
i hen there was four societies. Now there are
FIVE UUNDIIKI) AND-TWENTY-SEVEN. Mr. I*,
could see danger when there was four societies.
» nnething has so blinded his mental vision, that
he can sec none when there are. five iiundueii
xxn twextv-sKvr.x, When there were four
societies, they wore numerous and respectable
when there are five iii-xhiieii anii twex-ti-sf.-
ven, they arc few and insignificant, and are, as
ho says, lo bo put down by a report! Can both
ot these opinions have been honestly formed I Is
there not duplicity or treachery in one of them I
from the ITestchester Herald.
.1/K 7 alitor. —The following statements rd i
tiveto the increase, number and location of Anti-
Slavery Societies,vafford matter for serious and
useful r flection, both to the friends and enemies
ot abolition, and will no doubt prove interesting
information to your readers.
The first Society ever formed in the United
States, tor tin; inra'i.ate abolition of slavery, was
the New England, now (he Massachusetts Ami-)
Slavery Society; and it was organized in Janua
ry, 1832, with, it is said, only ten members.
| At the first‘anniversary of this Society, 9th
I January, 1833, three more societies were repor
-1 ted, viz. two in Massachusetts and one in Ohio.
1 On the tin ot December, 1833. a Convention,
consisting ol delegates from ten Stales, assembled
in Philadelphia, and formed tho A -ieuica \ A vn-
Si.Avi;nr Sobietv.
On the loth of January, 1334, the Ncw-En
gl.ind Society held its tecanil anniversary. Tlie
whole number ot societies reported was 52.
Bn the 1-iU ot May, 1835, the American
Anti-Slavery Society held its second anniversa
ry. Its report contained the names of 22( socie
ties.
On the 10th May, 1536, the American Socioty
held its third anniversary, and its report contain
ed the names of 527 societies !! Os thtfee socie
ties, only 251 have reported their numhefnf mem
bers ; the aggregate of which is 137,183.
These societies are located as follows :
Maine, 31 Pennsylvania, 32
New Hampshire, 43 Ohio, 133
Vermont, 44 Michigan, 4

Millechamps, (says the New York Evening
Post) a novel by Mr. Simms, now in the press of
the Messrs. Harpers, will 00 out soon. This
work is not a continuation of the Partisan, by
the same author, but the scene is hid in South
Carolina, and tho events which are supposed to
occur during the war of the Revolution, follow
ing those recorded in the Partisan. Mr. Simms
appears to have been industriously employed du
ring the last few months, and it is said that in the
murse of the season we may expect another work
it notion from his pen, though on quite a different
lUbjcel.

a TEXAS.
By the schooner Shenandoah, Capt. Moore,
which left VeVauco, Tex a-, on the 4th inst., wc
, received some more recent information from that
. country. The Mexican forces were about 130
' miles distant from the TVxiun Army, which was
- continually augmenting in numbers by tho daily
3 arrival of reinforcements. Between the 4th and
v I.sth it is believed there will ho al least 800 aJ
ditiomd troops more which will have i*libeled a
junction with the main army.
The Texians arc in Hue spirits, the whole pop
- ulaiion turning out cn masse, and every man
‘ pushing forward with alacrity, eager to engage
t with enemies who are vainly boasting that they
-I will strew the earth with their rebellious foes. In
consequence of a large, amount of provision*,
destined for tlie Mexican army, having been in
* ts reef ited hy some Tcxiun troops, it is supposed
s that the Mexicans will sutler much from the want
■j «.f necessary supplies. These provisions thusjn
e tercepted, were the cargoes of the Fanny Fuller
j mid Watchman, the vessel •as published a few
V days since, a - , being detained at ropinio, where
j they were still in detention when ibo Shenaudo
an sailed. Tho Texian schooner Invincible,
’* schooner Union, and schooner Comanche, who
11 was discharging her cargo, were nil at V elasco
■ on the lib inst. fveneral Santa Anna was still
I. hi confinement at Columbia.
The Mexican forces about 5,000 strong re
t, main stationed at the Nueces, under the com
mand of Cancio. This probably is not the whole
Ll number of their army, but that portion only in-
I ’ tended lo act in advance of the main body. The
• f '1 ’exians have at this time upwards of 3900 men.
il We were apprehensive that upon the arrival of
if Gen. Houston, some fiilliculty would grow out of
e the appointment of Lamar to tho command of
the army. It is believed, however, that there
would he no unpleasant feelings occasioned, and
that Lamar would yield up the command, should
it he desired by (ion. Houston.
Archer, one of the Uoinmis. doners from Texas,
who with Messrs. Austin and Wharton have
II been through the United Slates during the past
winter and spring, is supposed will succeed Pre
sident Burnet. Those arc some of tho ondits
’S
Irom 1 exas.
" A Mr. Barts, or so called, died at Columbia
I before the sailing of tho Shenandoah—whom it
, is believed is the Mr. Barton (he havingassumed
'■ the name of Barts) who was tho Cashier of the
Bank of Albany, and who absconded with a
large amount as the funds of that institution.—
About 15.000 dollars was found in his possession :
after his death.

To the politeness of Dr. Leaves ax,arrived yes
terday by tho schr. Shenandoah, from Velasco,
> we are indebted for tho annexed interesting infor
mation, which wo think may ho relied on.
The cabinet is continually engaged m business:
c there seems to be no spare time. Colonel Som
° orville has just taken his place in the national
c councils, and from his business qualities and re
publican manners pleases every one. He is a
j tried soldier, and puli ic opinion will not let anv
, one enjoy office without merit. The whole Bra- j
ZOB population arc delighted at tho idea of meet-1
• ing the enemy. The general indignation is so
strong against Santa Anna that his guard, under
Captain Patton, had to watch continually lokeep
hint front assassination, .llmnte was shot at I
" by a soldier a few days since, and narrowly esca- \
'■ pod, tlm ball pissing two or three inches above
II bis h.-ad. Tho gentleman who tired nt him find
r ' lost one of his dearest friends and relatives,
1 The two schooners Cumanelie and Fanny
s Butler, which were raptured some time since tit
* Matagorda, are now lying (one at Galveston and
j the other ut Velasco) both ladened with provisions
*" for the army of Mexico.
l ' Tho individual who tired at Almonte intended
b die shot for Santa Anna. Tho prisoners arc
treated humanely—furnished with every tiling
0 com'ortablc, and have tho liberty of walking about.
■" They are confined ala pluee one mile distant
from Columbia. Santa Anna says ho is not a
'■ fraid of Texians; but ho does not like to be visi
? led by people from the United States. Ha wish
es to ho taken to St. Augustine near the S.ihinc.
The crops on the lirasos are fine, and it is
r thought that more corn will - bo raised hero this
r season than has ever been in any preceding one;
elsewhere, throughout Texas, there is no pros
> poet of raising enough to furnish the citizens with
’ moat and broad.
> General Feiasola, whan retreating afier the
’ capture of Santa Anna) requested Gcii. Rusk to
’ let him have a largo amount of cattle on the retreat,
' staling that his army was starving, and Gen. R.
with the characteristic trait of the American sol- i
dior, permitted him to take what lie wanted, Tex
as has furnished beef enough for both armies, and
has plenty left: upon the whole the country is
T improving. Notwithstanding the enemy are ap
’ preaching in such numbers the people are con
-1 tinuing their agricultural pursuits as usual. They '
repose unlimited confidence in the army of San.
Jacinto.

i TREASURY REPORT.—SURPLUS.
* W® give this Report our most decided appro- -
hation, for it contains not a particle of that rig
marole which distinguishes nearly every do-u
--■ ment emanating from tho Department. It is '
( [nam, distinct, precise, comes lo the point at once,
• and contains matter vvonhy lo ho pondered on
’ by die people,
I 1 ii slot ail, wc have din official acknowledg
‘ mcnt tl»o Secretary, that the surplus at the '
end of tho year will probably exceed TWENTY 1
SPj V JiiN MILLIONS ! VVltal now hccouics of
all the bold assertions that there would he no sur
plus ! What becomes of all die calculations
- made by Messrs.) Wright, Cambrcleng, Benton,
“ &c.! All false, mistaken! Those calculations
continued to ho made up to die 4lh of July, and
here in a week after, the official Report from the
Department tells , tho people that there will lie a
surplus of more than twenty-seven miliums
Was there no one in the Treasury Department '
who could sped some light on the subject! Were
Messrs. Wright, Gamlirelciig, Bciilon, & Co.
j ko P' 1,11,10 (! ' <lk as to the real and probable slate ’
1 ol the Treasury !
Il will he further seen, that the appropriations
to be expended in ]B.;ti. amount to tlie enormous
mini of FORTY-SEVEN .MILLIONS FOUR '
HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SEVEN THOU
SAND DOLLARS!! And this in the seventh •
year of the economical , retrenching administra
-1 U m Andrew Jack on ; and yet, with these
enormous appropriations to ho expended during
the year, from the commencement of it wo have
j heard but one e-y from the parly—Appropriate!
appropriate ! more appropriations ! Day after
day has the Globe and the whole party press been
denouncing the opposition in Congress, because
, were unwilling to make appropriations be
yond this enormous sum; A sum which tho
rotary confesses cannot lie expended by at 1
least twelve millions ! Wc have here the ex- '
traordinary confession on tlie part of the S»crcla- '
ty. that the appropriations of the year have boon J
so enormous, that there cannot he expended of it <
a sum within a million ot the annual expendi
j ture during did administration of Mr! Adams, ‘
and tho last six years of Mr. Monroe. And this •
is a reforming, retrenching, economical Admin- t
istration.
, Again, we see, that although there was asu
; pcrabundance of money in the Treasury, and 0
although the parly was continually crying out P
that the public interests were suffering from the a
want of funds, yet actually there was not expen- v
ded tho lull amount of the appropriations already
made. J c
The appropriations, out-standing s
and permanent, amount to 11,640 000
Amount paid out on account of
!l;r 11,280,000 r
Ihe revenue accruing during the balance of h
the year, we presume the Secretary means to the J
Ist of January, is estimated at sixteen millions, i
He calculates, no doubt, on a reduction of several
millions from the public lands, in consequence of
the recent circular to receive nothing but cold
and silver nt the land offices.
How far this will affect the sales, will depend
on a variety of circumstances. In some -land
districts it may be considerable, and in others
nothing, according as it may suit the interests of
