SURPLUS REVENUE.;
From the report'of the Secretary, it appears
drat dtere will remain iu the Treasury on the- 1st
of January 183G, nn unexpended hsltance of a-
bovv eighteen millions of dollars. This enormous
amount of-Surplus revenue has been inninly
druwu to the mttiomil'exchequer by the operation
of ifiut system of legalized .robbery, famdiarly
known as Ihe Tariff. A large proportion of it
has been filched from the Southern States under,
.various false pretences, anti must now lie useless
and.urttiscd in the Treasury, or be squandered by
Oupgress itnd ihe other (lep'ttriiiietns iqf gt.vcrn-
menLu(ton visionary'schemes or ambitious projects.
It is u mutter of pride aud pleasure to, every A-
•tnericun, that the ualibual debt has been extin
guished, and that now there is uu cause, fur tue
iin(sisitiims .of a system of indirect taxation, which
lias,for neirly twenty years preyed U|ton the bard
carnjttgsund parulized the industry of the.Soutji.
Vet, btrunge ui tell, litis s’unic unjus’ system is kept
up, not only with sufficient force io defray tint
onliuary ex|icuses dl a not very economical govern-,
ment, but with energy enough to draw to 1 lie' public
cullers millions of tlullars which tliut government
in'alt its wasteful extravagance,, hits bent unable
to squander. - The real, want® of the government
the people will ulwuy® have, putriudsm enough to
supply, but when die oxa'ciiuii* of rulers go be
yond these wuma it is un evidence, of. giJc.uf two
tilings, eiiltar ibair.iiej ale regardlessuftho rights
oftlicir cnostitueuls, or ignorant' uf the tenure by
which they Ihentscivcs hold their power. A for

might inlhcse days of more enlightened freedom,
wake up a spirit that would ; not sleep even ut
kingly bidding. ' ' : . - '
There, are thousands of our countrymen no
duubl, wliu wiitTegiird this overflowing' treasury
ns an evidence of the prosperity of'.the country.
It. may peso, tm| ii.seems to our plain uudersiatiil-
iug that the country would be fully as prosperous
and ihe people equally as welUifl', if the muney
was left tit thuir (tuckets where it rightfully be
longs.-. If the government has uo use for it, ns
die Secretary admits, wltytuke.it from the purses
of the people in times of (irofouad peace, and

OUR CIIARGE'AT PARIS.
Importance of National Etiquette. Our
present charge d'offairs at Paris, Air. Barton, is b
son-in-law of Mr. Livingston, having married his
only child. ,Tilts gemleuiau was engaged in a
duel some six or seven years' since with Mr. Ota-
hum, an editor of the New Yuik Enquirer, 'in
wliich Air . Gralintn fell. The dispute in which
the .duel originated i9 said to have occurred at the
card table. Air. Barton was obliged tody, and
immediately sailed fitr Europe. I he affair was
finally adjusted, hud lie wassubsequeudy apjkiint-

management of his domestic concerns.' .
One tiuecdole' has come to our knowledge, that
may. suern . limber 10 illustrate itis character.—
Since lie has had the charge nfttur affitirs at Pa
ris, he attended one or t he official bulls, at which
it is castomurv for the Indy members of the royal
family'to intimate to members of the different le
gations that they will do them the honor to dance
with them. One of the princesses intimated
through die customary clianttel. of communica
tion, tliat she would Ilance with the American
Charge. Mr. Barton was loo much fatigued to
dp'ncc. He was asked if this reply should be car
ried buck 111 die princess, trail clutse tu persist in it.
Suiting his action to the word, lie immediately
took. French leave, certainly with considerable
lc*s Htan usuul Freuclt politeness. Tltis is a 110-
