This, is right. The epuntty has been tom and racked by experiments for llie last twelve y eat s— the people have been oppressed and retarded in their 1 business operations—and it is natural that they should look to an admininis- 1 rat-on of iheir own choosing for' meas ures of relief and remedy. - The ques tion is as to what is best—arid especial ly as Tegard9 the Currency. The Port land Advertiser argues and argues that •‘The Sub-Treasury Law must be repealed. Taxes must he imposed upon for eign luxuries—wines, silks, brandies, &c. ■ ■; 7 ' •* Expenditures are to be governed by receipts, and the receipts to be es tablished ' upon equitable principles of Revenue. The expenditures of the Go vernment should be supported by the Revenue duties imposed upon imported articles. “ Public money should be collected, krfpt and disbursed, as it was for a half century, with no loss to the Govern ment. Exchanges are to be regulated by a sound and uniform currency, and the currency of the country should be rid of those * fluctuations which have been incessant for some years past; by making a currency of a uniform value.” All this looks reasonable and patriot ic. Let us remember our position, and act chiefly under the influence of great national considerations. The destinies of this nation—tho destinies of the world, and certainly ot liberal principles—are in a great measure involved. We have, therefore a mighty part to play in the political drama—a part that, while it must of course have reference to the immediate wants and interests of our own people, should not be wholly irrele vant to the permanent prosperity of this Republic, as well as the future destin ies of mankind.

Torch Light Funeral Procession. The funpral solemnities in honor of the memory of Gen. Harrison, were celebrated at Albany after the German University fashion, by a procession by torch light. The effect is said by the “ Evening Journal” to have been most imposing. “ The night was still and veiy dark; snd the effect produced by the long ar ray of mourners at that unusual hour— the funeral emblems—the solemn music, and the strong red glare of the torches, revealing from the gloom and lightning up with picturesque effect the houses and crowds of spectators which throng ed the windows as they passed, left an impression which will not soon be' effa ced from the memory of those who be held the scene.” - ; 2,167,300 0^7" When tbe Municipal authorities of Montreal, were requested to arrest Mitchell the forger, and convey him to the'United Stales for (rial, the reply was “ The United States refuse to give up persons who; have committed the most heinous crimes in this . country, (alluding to Holmes the raurdere.*) and why should we trouble ourselves, about this man ! -He is spending his mobey veiy freely, which will do aasome good.” Itis much to be regretted that ar rangements should not be made, by which individuals, guilty, of felony, could be apprehended on • either side of the line, and surrender to the' proper authorities.

INDIAN TROUBLE. Tbe Wisconsin Inquirer says—An express arrived at Forts Crawford and Winnebago, a day day or two since from Fort Snelling, with the intelligence that the warriore ofthe Sioux tribe of Indians were collecting in great numbers in the vicinity of the last mentioned military station, and meditated an attack upon the garrison. A company of dragoons fiom Fort Crawford, and a company of infantry from Winnebago, have been ordered, we understand to St. Peters, to assist in the defence of the post. VAN BUREN’S POLICY. Much complaiut is made, and with good reason, of the conduct of Mr. Paul- dinsr, late Secretary of tho Navy, and of Mr. Poinsett, late Secretary of War, toward the close of Mr. Van Buren’s ad ministration. These gentlemen evi dently took the determination to leave to their successors no chance of making any Midshipmen’s or Cadets’ appoint ments for a long time. From the first to the fourth of March it is understood, that Secretary Paulding issued between thirty and forty letters of appointment to Midshipmen—not only filling up all allowed .by law, but even' lapping over as if to prevent his successor from making any appointments in case a vacancy should occur, by hav ing a nominee of his own ready to step into such vacancy. This is too bad : and the present Secretary might be justified in revoking these letters of ap pointment, and in refnsing to issue the •warrants. Butsucn a course would in flict injury upon the young men ap pointed, who certainly are not to blame, and would be mortifymgto their families and friends. The forbearance of Mr. Secretory Badger in this respect pres ents bim in strong contrast to Mr. Ex- Secretary Paulding. <■ uk's Mr. Ex-Secretory Poinsett is charge able with similarconduct. He has filled up and lapped overall the appointments to the Military, Academy, so that it is difficult to say when there will be room for a single new cadet. This surely was a small business for gentlemen to engaSe in, during tbe expiring hours of their official authoritr. Many meritori ous young men, who applied in vain under the! Van Buren Administration for commissions or appointments, (being refused on account of the politics eftheir friends or families,) and who hoped for success’ after a change of tulers, find their aspiration repressed by this con duct of* tho Ex-Secretary. Some of them have peculiar; claims. to tbejnotice and assistance of the Government. In some cases the appointments are the only stay and support of widowed moth ers—the sons of deceased officers—of men who have suffered, and died in the service of their country. Their hopes of advancement are cut off, and tbe places they ought to fill are given to the pets and proteges of partisans. Let us indulge the hope that under the new Adminstration these matters hereafter will be better ordered. The military and the naval, service are both dear to all true Americans. Over the departments‘"of the war and nary two gentlemen now preside who have the entire confidence of the officers: in both branche^of the service j and the country will not be disappointed in the expecta tions cif increased vigor to be given fo these two nnns of oar defence; : -* The Louisiaona Advertiser of the 13th inst. says ; ' V “ “ Look out for spurious fifty dollar bills on the State Bank of Alabama,' * at Tuscaloosa.

J ackson'a firetterm.enahled os to pay off the national debt, were thefrui to of a long preceding good management of our public affairs; and we are now reaping the fruits of that long preceding bad management whicli General Jaeksow introduced, and Martin Van Buren car*' ried out to its consummation. There- is no getting away from the truth of this feature of our past history, We are prepared to prove by incon trovertible statistics, that before this na tion shall have emerged completely, by : the return of good Government now. looked for and we trust begun, from the disadvantages to which the administra-' ttous of General Jackson imdMrtih Vafii Buren have subjected us, our national- prosperity and wealth will have suffered more than the whole national debt of Great Britten. We were rich. That is well known. W e are now poor. That is equally well known. We will add, it was no willing cause that could have made this nation poor. There is no nation on the globe, which has the resources find enterprise computed, to promote national wealth, which we have, and nothing is required' to attain tlift end beyond tho limits of of any dcfiuite measure, and in constant ly accumulating proportions, but a Gov ernment adaptep to our physical, moral, social, and political condition. We want nothing but freedom and free trade.- By *bo ternr/rce trade, we mean much. Tbe amount of it is this: Let Uie peo ple have their own way, and give them what they want—a sound and ade quate currency. Every one can best manage; his own affairs; of business.— ‘But this part of freedom will be of little consequence,: if the currency, which is the soul medium if trade, is both bad and insufficient. The late dynasty will be characterized in history, as that period of the Ameri can Republic, when the Government held the folly and audacity to wage war on the national currency, and succeeded iu destroying, fo the destruction of the nation’s prosperity. We are poor, suf fering, bankrupt people, all the conse quence of this foul quackery and reck- lessnesss. Tho very mention of. it, proves it to all observation.
