No metamorphosis since the days of Ovid cmtld
appear more perfectly marked, nor with more
beautiful effect. We advise our readers to ex-
amine and judge for themselves. Mr. A. is thu
author of the American Standard System of
Writing, which has been in use in the Northern
cities for the post twelve years. From an esatU'
illation, we do not hesitate to recommend those
who desire to uinke ait improvement in their,

* r CFThnt lot of fine Segura imported by I.
Baldwin A Co., a friend informs us, have nearly
all been called for. Never miud. our friends a
little farther up street, Huntington &
Holcombe, have advertised a lot of the same
tall brantj this morning, which we doubt not, on
a trial, will be found to draw quite as well.
• at the first
" Justice" itt
Issued are as much a national debt as if a loan to
that amount word roads by an agent ofgovern*
ment at the banking honseof the Rothschilds.—
The Treutnry has run dry under Mr. Van B«*
meb’s admituatrltian. A loan is necesoary in or*
der to enable the Government to meet its exigsm
cies. It would not nppenr well to the people of
this country for this admistration to recommend
foreign loan. It would sound badly to Atneri*
can ears. The credit of iho government is still
good however, and on the strength of that credit
and anticipating its revenue, the government,
under an act of Congross, issues Bank notes pay*
ablo at a curtain future time, or Treasury notes.
Call them what you will—it ten millions of Trsa*
sury notes are issued, a debt of ten millions is
Mated which must be paid, as these Treasury
notes must all come bank to the Trenaury for re*
dcmpliou—and must all bo redeemed by tlm pay*
tnent of monies received in o the Treasury.
Truth will out at lust. Like the classic foun
tain of Arethusa,*if it is repressed ami confined
in one spot, it will gush forth in anotlier. It is
not like sonic solitary spring-which receives tin*
certain supplies from a capricious and feeble
source. The current circulates through the whole
earth, and an attempt made to prevent ita out
pouring itt onn pluce, produces a corresponding
reflux in another.
W« have not forgotteu that Mr. Vax IU-heh
states too in his message, that tho government
has tnel promptly all the demands against it ut
homo and abroad. Wliut could the President
have been thinking of when he penued that par
agraph/
considered to be now in Ibrcn, make the taxes
now imposed, greater or less'than is provided
Ibr in the aibremeutioned tnx Ixw of Dseembor,
one thousand eight hundred and four, and in the
second section ofthis act, tho same are hereby
repealed.
And he it fiirthnr enacted, that the Receivera
nl Tax Returns for the eeveml counties iu this
State, shall muke a general Digest of all the re
turns of‘.tumble, and of the taxable property ol
delimiters, iu tho manner hsrtofore proscribed
and accustomed under «xi*tir<g laws: and each
and evert- Receiver, shall maku out tltroo copies
of the Digest of. and for his particular county,
and shall, on nr before tho first day ofJuly, in the
year one thousand eight bundled and forty one,
and every ynar art or wards, dedvor otto cony of
said Digest of Tax Returns, to the Tax Collector
of the enmity, and one to the Clerk oftho Infer
ior Court, and shall, on or belbre tho first day
of August thereuller, deliver one copy of said
Digest, to the Comptroller Gunernlof too State,
under the penalty of uu« thousand dollars for
each and every omission to deliver‘said copies,
or either of them, in tho manner, and within tlto
periods abnved specified. And Ilia Tnx Collec
tors of tho soverul Counties, shall proceed at
once to collect tho taxes oflheir respective coun
ties, according to the Digest, and assessment
thereof, delivered to them respectively, a* afore
said, by the Receivers of Tnx Return" of their
counties respectively. And thnsnid Tnx Cob
lectors shall pay the taxes so to lie collected, in
to the treasury, on or before the first day of De
cember, in each and every venr, beginning with
the year one thousand eight’ hundred and foity
one, subject to such deductions and allowances,
a* existing laws authorize for compensation
to the Receivers and Collectors, and other
tauses.
And be it further enacted. That an act passed
on the twenty-first day of December, 1839, enti
tled “An act to impose, levy and collect a tax
03* We felt almost indignant 4
Was*," ou reading the reinnrka of
the Georgian last Friday morning, because W(
weredispnsed to believe that there was a “irce bit'
« slight sprinkling of ill feeliug in it, an inclina
tion on the part of the writer to travel out of the
record of the 41 code civil” in order to distill
little spleen; but on more matnro reflec
lion we find ourselves ill a good humour.—
We have corrected the first impression (first
impressions are not always correct) and we
are now disposed to regard tho communication
of Justice as designed merely to give us a whole
some admonition, a stern, severe, judicial, and
semi-official,ofseiui-exlra official rebuke, amp
over the knuckles not quit so agreeable at if one
should say, *' I wish yon a tretry Chtishnas, sir,
because we, the said Editors of the Republican,
did without the fear of tho law or of the orders of
the Treasury Department, express gn opinion
upon a matter concerning the public interest.—
While we bow with the most respectful humility
to the legal attainments of 41 Juttice," we should
beg leave to appeal from the decison of a self-
constituted judge, at whose«hands we have not
asked atrial. The truth is, that we very unin
tentionally blundered into court, not knowing
that it was in session. The presiding officer,
with 44 visage stem,” has ordered ns out—the
closed doors cannot be opened to tho uninitiated,
So we retire, not however without having caught
up one or two specimens of law which come
an oxcoltafaistyle, which should ensure to them
no slight degree of respect. We cnine out of
eourt wiser thnn we went in, but it does not ho-
long to ns to decide these weighty mattets—
" Non uostra tauias • omponere tiles."
We caunot refrain, however, from informing
44 Justice," that we did not propose to prejudge
■ case which we had understood was disposed
uflong since by compromise. We did not know
that the case' 44 wusup" for adjudication.
Under this view, if will jiot appear so strange
that we should have the hardihood to express an
opinion iu which we had been anticipated by no
small portion of the Corps Editorial. Wheu we
find ourselves in an awkward position, He love
to be iu good company. Our expression--t-f
opinion (not legal opiuion mind) must still re
main on record. We were and still am impress
ed with the belief that for some forty or filly
years past, claims forsalvugo has been very sel
dom preferred by officers of the Revenue Ser*
vice; an assertion which we presumo will not
be contradicted. We do not pretend tiiat prece
dent makes law, but we think we can see many
reasons which will no doubt occur to our read
ers why the precedent Da very good oue. So
we are determined to have our own way at lust.
One will have hit owu convictions ami specula
tive opinion* oil these qnd kindred subjects, with
out arriving at them by the aid of a legal process.
44 Justice" refer* to the honour and correct conduct
of the officers of the Crauford. As we have not
attempted to ipipeach either the one or the nth, r,
we do not find it necessary tp say any tiling
that port of the subject.
(□"We beg leave to direct the uttentioti of our
readers to the remarks of Mr. Webster, iu the
United States Senate on the state of the finances
as published in the Republican of Thursday. He
shows that this administration has expanded near
ly 98,0001000 annually more tli.ni the income.
Tlie remarks of the President iu his message
in relation to a natiouul debt, have hot probably
faded from the minds of our readers, 11 o there
intimates that there has always beeu in this
country a parly iu favor of and a puny against a
national debt. It struck us at the lime us a most
absurd remark, for we prciumio there are no
Americans iu this country who are iu fuvor of a
national debt. But on the other baud our young
Republic would purhups hardly have been aide to
struggle through the storm ol the Revolution, but
for Use fuans made ubroad. A loan was innde in
Holland by Joux Adams, another debt was con
tracted by the Continental Congress for the puy
of the Revolutionary uriuy, and various debts
were contracted by lilts several States for the
purpose of carry ing on the war. These debts
have been honestly contracted nnd us honestly
paid to the uttermost furthing.uiid Mr. Webster
justly regards the allusion to them us ,'ii im
putation upon those who h.tve conducted this
country through perilous times. Ii is reserved

Kj* We have beeu favored by a friend with
the perusal of the Liverpool Mail of iho Uth No
vember.
It appears that the Opiaut trade of China is
mora flourishing than ever. It will not tail to
strike all intelligent persons with surprise, that a
government which plum** Suelf so much on the
preservation of human rights ns the British gov
ernment, should immediately after bringing her
West Iudia subjects on the eve of destruction by
the violent aud. sudden emancipation of slavery-
in that quarter, compel tho subjects of another
and an independent Empire to lake her Bombay
Opium under the mouths of her cauuou. Great
Britain has commenced cautiously and slowly a
series of operations on the coast ofChiua, which
will end in colouizatiou and a probable control of
the tea trade.
The editor of the Mail complaiusofan allcdg-
ed mul-ndministratiou of India utlairs. The re
volts iu Afghanistan, have assumed a serious as
pect. The Ncpaule»e too who border upon
Chinn, ure also suspected. The Mail seems to
take a most gloomy and discouraging view of af
fairs little warranted we should suppose by their
actual posture. No cause of congratulation is
seen on the successes in Syria or in the European
pacificntiou. In short, the Mail is a decided
cracker.

Post Office Departmeit.—The Annual Report
ofthe Post Master Central occupiesficecolumns
tnthe Washington Globe which reached us this
morning. We learn fruit it that the extent of
post route* in the U. States is 155,739 miles, at a
cost of $3,290,876. Th) number of contract irs
is about 2000; post offites, 13.638, of which 951
have been established within the present year.
Within the same period,271 have been discontin
ued, Post Musters apfoiuted within the yeur,
3.231, of whom 959 were for new offices.
The receiptsof the DepErtment for tlm year end
ing 30th June lust, were $4,539,266. Expendi
tures, $4,759,111. Excew of expenditures, $219,-
845.
The Post Master General mentions os among
tlie causes for this excess, or rather ofthe defi
ciency in the revenue, the embarrassments ofthe
tiuies.llie practice cxtensivelyudopted of carrying
newspaper* out side ofthe mails, and tho abuse
ofthe franking privilege.
During the weeks ending the 2d May, 2d June

franked packet* [including dirty linen no doubt,]
making, in ull,434,669. The public dnciimmns
mid packets from Congress weighed 32,069 lb*.
Mr. Niles recommends the abolition oftho al
lowance to post masters of2cents ou free letteis,
and ofthe franking privilege.exccpt to the Heads
of Departments; a limitation by law, of compen
sation for all Steamboat. Roil Road, and conch
service, the equalization of postage nu newspa
pers and other printed matter, with an adcunec oj
oue hundred per cent [tax on knowledge]; nnd a re
vision of the tariff of letter postage, with a reduction
of'lb per cent.
