MONDAY MOltNINU, DKCBMUBU 28.1M& . FOB CONGRESS. €ol. HINES HOLT, of JfHucogcc. Election on First Monday in January. OTOttr thank* ant duetotha lion. Lott WAitRRK.and the Hon. It. W. Habxrsiiam, for pamphlet coplea containing the Report of the Secretary of the Treasury on the atate of the finances, ntul an estimate of appropriation* for the year 1841. Writing.—Wb were shown on Saturday, ape* eimettaof improvement made by aeveral of the pupils of Mr. AtKKN in this city, the past week, 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, band writing,to atieud acourse of Mr. A’*, leesons. * 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.

The jbtinnilttou* aid A Mir of Treasury notes umv 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. for the political year 1840. on property both real and personal, niul to inflict penalties for refus ing or tieglertiug to comply with the provisions nfihesniuc," lie nnd the Mine is hereby repealed! and Iho returns and assessment* of taxes, mnda under and in niiriemnre of the same, ho nnd tha same nro hereby annulled and superceded entire ly by the provisions of this act. * And he it further enacted.
