As intercourse in marriage becomes fa miliar, and the little graces of etiquette are .aid aside, the idol, though not less worshiped, becomes less sacred. She is not the deity of jiie temple, but of the household ; she is no longer the great Diana of Ephesus, approach ed at a distance with mysterious riles, hut one of the Lares, meeting the fanr.iliar glance at every turn. This dillerence is never felt so keenly by a woman, as when she first disco vers iliat it is possible for her to appear ri diculous to her husband. A man who differs from his wife and reasons with her, rather elevates her self love; hut, the moment he laughs at her, she feels that the golden bowl ! of married sympathy is broken. Simplicity of Dress. — l like, ! confess, to see a young wife neatly dressed. There is a neatness which is perfectly compatible with plainness ; and a dress may be graceful, with out being ridiculous, i like neat simplicity, be cause somj’.iow or oilier, there appears to he a frequent c nmection between the outside and the inside. The exterior is, to some ex tent, a key to the interior. Il l see a person dressed like a thorough going top, I cannot, ff I would, respect the mind of the. person.

There is too much “method” in it UJuexcite any thing but dis trust with those who know him best. Eaton has written the following letter in relation to this matter, which we find in the Boston Morning Post: Since we parted 1 have been ‘strutting my brief hour’ upon the hoards of the Olympic, Bowery and Franklin, and at the Theatre here, and in a few days shall shape my course south west. 1 have just heard of Booth’s T'-ick upon poor Flynn, at Charleston, aider, as it recalls to memory the . nity he had, about three years ago a; me participant in a real tragedy.— \V wre plaving an engagement together same Theatre, in Baltimore, and re v.- ?ierre and Jaflier, Othello and lago.

H. EATON. th, the Tragedian. —-In tlie account !au publ shed of the attempt of Booth, the lian, when in a fit of insanity, to kill Mr. | F ,an allusion was made to his having inr tusly been saved from drowning. The .! eston Courier, of the 13th i 11st. , gives ; tlie bjoined particulars of the affair: “ Mr. Booth, the celebrated tragedian, in the steam packet Neptune, attempted to de u \ himself, wftile on the passage from ! New Ifork ter Charleston, under the following | circumstances. Mr. B. went onboard the ’ • ■ packet, in company with his friend, flynn, the well-known comedian, on esday evening last, and on the passage r id evident symptoms of insanity, but be ii;r refttlly watched by his anxious friend, itiad mi opportunity of escaping his vigilant \ I eve, and appeared to improve gradually under : Mr. F’s. friendly care, until the afternoon of j Friday last, ijife 9th inst.y when 36 miles N. ] off Frying Pau Shoals, during dinner, j when Mr, B. excused himself from the table. ; took advantage of his friend’s absencet and lowered himself from the promenade deck, which attracted the attention of the men. — Caps.

Capt.

The gallant captain took the helm, and Mr. Booth, though then half a mile from the boat, was rescued from a watery grave.” From the Mobile Examiner. Timothy dost thou believe them ? Yea! but I love coed eating too well to sacrifice j bread and butter to fasting and a clean stomach. Old Pint,. Ever since ll.e world began, there have \ been some good people continually extolling ! the merits of early rising. “ It makes us healthy,” snvs one. “It conduces to longevity,” snvs another. ! “ It promotes habits of industry,” ejaculates a third. “ It gives such pretty red cheeks.” snvs m,i to Julia, who is just beginning to attract the attention of Voting bachelors. Few, however, have enough of the philo sophy of human nature to know that the enforcing of actions whose reward is distant, has seldom much influence upon those whom they are designed to benefit. For our part, wc are indolent enough to prefer an hour’s sleep after sunrise to one vear tacked on to life after we have attained the hoarv age of seventy. All the praise that our maiden aunts —that, spinster sisters —that tottering uncles and wrinkled grandpa could bestow upon early rising, had no influence. The reward which they spoke of was too far off— they appealed to a time which our voting imagination could, not realize. We felt the elasticity arid vigor of life in everv limb, and never thought that it was possible to grow old. When, however, we began to pore over a volume of “ Thompson’s Seasons.” and to read of the delightful enjoyments of a spring | morning—the glorious rising of the sun and the melodious warMings of the “ feathered people” of the grove, we took fire at once. Here was a reward directly within our reach, j The misery of rising, nutting on one’s breech ; es, and washing one’s face, was atoned for ; the moment wc passed the threshhold of our j chamber. Penp’e ought to learn to appreciate good in j itself, and not to run fifty years off to find | motives, when more powerful ones can be ; picked up without straying front the present j moment. To those, therefore, who have npver seen ! the sun rise, we would merely remark that it i is a sight which will amply repay a little ex ertion. Let the sluggard rouse himself to morrow and stroll out towards the grave; yard—let hi n inhale the early breeze—brush the dew from the young grass, and join in the smiles that young morning seems to wear. If he return without feeling anew life within him—without experiencing a fresh and inno cent pleasure, he may call us no good adviser, and retire to sleep .until the breakfast hell wake him.

Late from Florida. “ Fort Lauderdale, New River, (E. F.) ) March 27, 1838. J “ Having returned a few days ago from one of the°inost interesting and, I may add, fatiguing and important expeditions ot this protracted war, I avail myself ot the first leis ure moments to communicate, for your satis faction, a brief account of it. The campaign season in this latitude is over, but fortunately it did not close before the consummation of an expedition, which cannot fail to have a great moral effect upon the Indians that yet remain hostile. On the 7th inst. Col. Bank head, with Lt. Pickell, left Fort Jupiter lor the Suwannee, whither the Colonel was or dered, to take command of the troops and ope rations in that quarter. Upon their arrival at Fort Pierce, finding Col. Pierce too much Undisposed to take command of the expedi tion that had been previously ordered to Key Biscayne and New River, Col. Bankhead ! was placed in command of it, anti he pro ceeded to Fort Dallas, on the Miami, where he arrived on the l°2th inst. with the compa nies of the Ist regiment under Major Kirby, and two companies of the 4th regiment of ar | tillery, anil in a few days after proceeded to this post, and immediately made the neces sary arrangements for the successful prosecu tion of the expedition. On the 22d the com mand left Fort Lauderdale and ascended the south bratich of New River, with the foot, ion hoard the steamboat Isis, to the old Tal ; lahassee village, 5 miles above, the flotilla of boats being under the command of Capt. Powell, of tlie navy. The reconnoiterir g party that had’been sent out in the morning reached the landing at the site of the Indian village, and reported that a large trail was t-lis- Jcovered’ penetrating tlie everglades and in a j direction leading to Pine Island, about 12 or 14 miles from the margin. Col. Bankhead, | although quite unwell, gave directions and | took command of the troops in pursuit early lon the following morning. The trail vyas fol lowed several miles on foot and on horseback, and as far as was practicable with the horses. 1 111 anticipation of the impracticability of pene -1 (rating the everglades further with the mount ed men, the flotilla was directed to descend to the forks, and ascend the north branch and join the main body, and then move together, following the train to Pine Island, or to what ever point it might -lead—the whole force united consisting of about 400 men and 21 boats. At 10 o’clock, A. M. on the 23d, we embarked, and divided the men equally to eacli boat to drag it along the trail. The boats were in this manner drawn through i hog and mire, waist deep to the men, to Pine ! Island, ar.d not unfrequently the bog was so deep that assistance was required to extricate them from it. When within 3 miles of the island, we discovered the smoke of the Indian fires on the north end of if, and the smoke of others rising that seemed just to have been kindled. It was therefore tolerably certain tlit the Indians still remained upon it, and a complete and decisive victory was anticipated : over them. The island is so situated, sur ! rounded bv high saw grass, bog and water, and several miles from the islands west of it, | that it could scarcely be expected they could escape undiscovered, or elude pursuit. The judicious disposition that was made of the forces occupying positions on the north, I the east and west sides of, and several hun dred yards from the island, would effectually have prevented their escape, had we been able to have arrived several hours sooner; but when our positions were taken—and which was done without the least loss of time —it was just sunset. As it was supposed, having heard nothing to the contrary since we left Fort Jupiter, that the truce was yet existing at general head quarters, Col. Bank head sent forward in advance of the position a while flag. It had not advanced more than 150 yards when if was fired upon by Indians, who were seen on some high trees near the north end of the .island, and wounded one of the guards slightly in the heath Immediately after they opened a firing upon the boats in position on the west side of the island, which was returned bv a four pounder mounted in the bow of one of the boats. It being now so Ir.te, nothing could be done but effect a landing, and the foreps were or dered forward. Major Kirby, with his bat talion, approached the island in fine style on the east, and Lieut. Powell’s command ad vanced in excellent order with the flotilla on the west, while the reserve moved forward and landed immediately after, near the Indian fires. The first shot that was fired bv the four pounder was followed by the usual In dian veil, when they immediately after re treated to the south of the island, leaving nearly all their effects, consisting of provisions, cattle, hides, hide boats, powder, lead, bullet moulds, blankets, axes, chisels, knives, konn ter, koonter-graters. wild potatoes, and innu | merahle Indian trinkets, all of which we de | stroved or took possession of. We bivouaek |ed around the fires in the dense hammock ! that had been occupied bv the Indians. On the following morning the troops were extended across the island, and scoured every j part to the southern point of it, while the flo ! tilla moved in the same direction parallel 10 i the western side, to ascertain the trail of ihe ; enemy, leading to the innumerable small con j sa plum islands, which checker the everglades to the west as far as the power of vision can extend, and to which it was supposed the In dians had, under cover of ihe night, retired. About three miles south of our landing we discovered scattered trails leading to the isl ands I have indicated. The exhausted con dition of the troops, fatigued as they were by having already performed a service of almost incredible labor, and one hevonil the physical power of men to accomplish, tinless stimu i lated bvtlie strongest incentive which prompts i the willing ami faithful soldier in the perform i anre of his duty. Having ascertained that j the Indians had retreated, after sustaining a serous loss by capturing important personal effects, and that nothing more could he done. Col. Bankhead ordered a return to this post, which we reached after dusk on the evening of the 24th inst. Thus you will perceive that the boast of Abiaca lias no foundation in I truth. | This now leading spirit anil chief of the war parties, has no hopes of being able to re tire to positions inaccessible to the zeal, ener gy and promptness of tlie troops. Abiaca ; bail determined, it is said, to fight until resis : tance was ineffectual, and then retreat to the island of everglades —the grassy lakes, where the “ white man could not come.” Here fie has been disappointed, and 1 am of opinion the moral of tills expedition will go as far, if not farther, in inducing the Indians that are vet in an attitude of hostility, to come to terms, than that of the most successful battle fought with them during tlie whole 1 car, but I must close.” From the N. Y. Daily Express. .Mexico. —We have dates from Mexico down to the 4th of March. The papers are generally filled with matter relating to the United Slates. The official papers contain; a report on (lie claims of citizens of the IJ. States for indemnification. The report sets j forth that the greater part of the claims are! unfounded. No explanation is given to llie delay that has occurred in the examination of these claims. The conduct ofSenor Gnrnstissi, in relation jto the celebrated pamphlet, is fully justified. The recognition of the Independence of Texas bv our Government is viewed as a hostile measure. Explanations were to be de ; manded from our government.

The South cannot consistently support J\lr. j Clay. This assertion is sustained by the plainest and strongest common sense. The South is divided from the North, especially , and widely, upon the great question ol aholi tion. The principles upon which this ques tion is balanced are entertained almost uni-! versally by that portion of people residing north of the Potomac; anil that portion com pose the great mass who will, at the ballot box, in eighteen hundred and lorty, support Mr. Clay for the Presidency. How then can Southern feeling and Southern principle be enlisted in the cause of Mr. Clay ? Whatever feeling of opposition may have existed hitherto between Union men anil Nutlifiers, with reference to Southern politics, there can exist but one common feeling amongst all Southerners with regard to the doctrine of abolition of slavery —on this vi tally important question, all are State Rights wen, good and true; all will contend fora strict construction of the Constitution. It the South would guard vigilantly her rights, she must watch with a keen and jealous eye, every movement, every stroke of policy which would aim to break down those Constitutional barriers, which the wisdom of our fathers has thrown around her lor her protection ; and she must labor assiduously to prevent the helm of government from passing into hands by which it might be wielded with sad and melancholy injury to her welfare and happi ness. She has great interests at stake ; all that belongs to her peace and happiness, yea, even her very life, and the precious blood which nourishes it, are solemnly, deeply, vi tally concerned. We have been asked, “ Why do you op pose Mr. Clay ?” We answer, for two good and sufficient reasons; first, because it is our rigid and privilege to oppose the pretensions of any man, vYho aspires to office and seeks public favor; and second, because we belong not to his school of politics. We have been asked, “ Why do you charge Mr. Clay with being an abolitionist ?” Such a charge we have not laid at his door. Mr. Clay is himself a slave holder, anil this fact is at least conclusive against a desire on his part for a universal freedom from slavery Having for a number of years presided over the Colonization Society, no man has enjoy ed a more favorable opportunity of making a generous display of Christian benevolence hv the liberation of his slaves, than Mr. Clay himself; yeteby him the manumissio has never been performed. But this is not the ground upon which we argue against his fitness to wield the destinies of the South. It is not contended that Mr. Clay is an abolitionist, but that in looking to the Presidency, he is forced to rely upon the strength of the whig party, and especially that portion of it whichf is found at the North. Now who does not know, that along the ranks of the northern whig party are thickly planted those crazy South of her rights, and who would not hesi tate to fire her dwellings and murder her peace, and those are the men whose prejudi ces must be pampered, whose unholy desires i must be flattered, and who must have some . expression of sympathetic feeling on the part of a candidate, before they will yielJ him their support. In this view of the case, what has been the course pursued by Mr. Clay ? Where stood he, when the resolutions of Mr. Patton were on the tapis? Did he stand square to the front? Was lie seen holding up the sacred constitution of his country be tween the oppressed South and her relentless oppressors? No, but he occupied the posi tion of compromise, and such a one too as could not possibly he made without an in fringement upon tlie constitution ! Certainly it was his privilege, as a legislator, to take this course if he pleased ; and tlie abolition votes of the north would lie the more readily secured by such a step; hut is this the kind of legislation for us? Will the South consent to give a solitary vole to a man who would compromise her dearest rights? Were she thus to forget herself, then should we say “farewell, a long farewell to all her great ness;” then would that pride and chivalry which has home her in the ascendant amid the brilliant constellation which was glittering around her, “take the wings of the morning and fiv away,” and she would be left stript, not only of her constitutional rights, but also of her self-sustaining pride and independence. The presses in this Slate devoted to the State Rights cause, we infer, intend support ing Mr. Clay; it is only an inference, how ever, for they have not as yet spoken intelli gibly on the subject. They are fighting shy; their movements are cautious and wary, and well they may be, for there is a fearful split ting in their ranks; the sub-treasury scheme has fastened itself on the minds of many of their party, with a grip that will not be easily unloosed. We are anxious to see tliem rurv up their flag and hang out their banners. It is a fitful breeze that is blowing at this mo ment, and there nestles ii. the bosom of appa rent peace and tranquillity, the thunder which will presently .break loose and convulse these Southern Slates. The free, independent, “self-poised” men of the South will neve’ give their support to a man for the Presi dency, who would not bare his arm in defence of their rights, when assailed on the floor of Congress, and to whose administration they could not look for succour and support in the enjoyment of their privileges under the con stitution. Mr. Biddle, in his letter to Mr. Adams, says, with reference to the banks resuming specie payment, that they “should do what the Americans did at New Orleans, stand behind the cotton bales until the enemy has left the country.” If half of what is said and written be true, Uncle Nic has cotton bales enough, of his own, to cover all tlie hanks in this country.

In the lan guage of the able editor himself we say, “hush your dissensions—cease these distinc tions of sub-treasury men and of Conserva tives —away with ail subordinate questions,” and let us have the full benefit of your prac tised and skilful pen. We ask attention to the article in another column, addressed “to the Republicans of Virginia—and at Washington.” BIDDLE AN'.i BENNETT. Two distinguished, revolutionizing, agita ; ting, characters, whose history will descend ; to posterity as being most intimately indenti fied with the scenes and transactions of the nineteenth century. Biddle has addressed a long argumentative letter to John Quincy Adams, upon the impolicy of a general re sumption on the part of the hanks, in which he shows himself to he master of tire subject of financiering, in all its departments; and Bennett writes the production of Mr. Biddle a total failure, and says that it fell “ still born upon Wall street,” and that “his talents, as a financier, are seriously questioned.” In another column will be found Bennett’s arti cle ; it devclopes new arrangements and plans, which, if carried out, will throw Mr. Biddle in the shade and make Mr. Van Buren tire most popular man that ever lived “in the i tide of time.” Bennett may possibly he wri ting lor posterity, that is to make money lor | his children, but if what lie asserts be true, i (and we would never dream ot doubting his ; worth) the present administration will stand firm as the rock of Gihralter, the efforts of Mr. Clay, and his partizans, to the contrary notwithstanding.

TO THE REPUBLICANS OK VIRGINIA— AND AT WASHINGTON ! The conduct of the Bank of the United Stales ought to arouse you. Ymi see this tremendous ittslitulion abusing its charter, extending its powers, tampering with the other Banks, ami obstructing their return to specie payments, it is pressing for a re-ehar ter, —and dark was the day when Pennsylva nia gave her a charter, yet still darker will be the day when the United States shall consent to re-charter her. It is that triumph, which she is seeking to gain over the Republican party; over the Constitution; over Liberty herself. It is that victory, which Messrs. Clay and Webster, and the Whigs, are labor ing to wring from the fears and distresses ol an embarrassed community. ! And will you contribute to nvssist her by your own divisions? Shame! Shame! that the Democracy of the land should continue to wrangle about a subordinate question—break down their ranks; and permit this selfish and dangerous monster 10 rule the only Republic upon the face of the globe. In the name of the Constitution; in the name of Liberty; !by those splendid victories which you have | so often won over the friends of the National j IBank, hush your dissentions—cease these j distinctions of Sub-Treasury men and of Con- j servalives—re unite, rally together, and save; the Republic from the abominable aristocracy of this National Bank. People of Virginia! Your own elections are at hand. Banish these sounds of discord j from your camp. Go to the polls, and vote | for no candidate who will not pledge himself, to fight in the last ditch against the National Batik. Mr. Clay is its ardent and decided friend. Vote for no man who will support him. Before Congress adjourns, you will see the Whig members of that body caucusing and recommending a Convention, which is to I nominate a Whig candidate for the Presi dency. Mr. Clav is to he that man. Clay and the National Bank—or, Van Boren and :an uncompromising hostility to a National Bank, is the true issue before you. Meet that issue boldly and directly. Should a majority j of Whigs be sent to the next Legislature,; mark it! yrtu w II see a Whig elected to the Senate of the United States, and you will I probably see a resolution passed in favor of chartering a Bank of the United States. We call also upon the Republicans of Con gress to abandon Iheir disputes, and to rally together. The Sub-Treasury bill cannot pass. It is out of the question. Settle your dispute then in an amicable temper ; and march together against the Money King, who threatens dictation to our country. Why should Messrs. Van Buren and Rives decline anv longer a generous co-operation for the public service ? Away with those subordi nate questions upon which they have re cently differed! Away with every feeling which has separated them in the slightest de gree! Their parfv, and what, is more, their country, demands it at their hands. Tt is not too late to save us from a National Bank; if vve lay all our and fferences of oninion upon the altar of our country. Mr. Hamer, of Ohio, has nobly set them the example. He has come forward in 1 lie spirit, of a patriot to staunch ihe wounds of a Weeding commu nity. The spirit in which he lias offered his resolution is a glenm of hope—and promises the dawn of a better day. As one of the most distinguished persons at Washington writes its, let the Slate Banks he assisted bv the liberal policy of the Government, and “ our recent disputes will soon he forgotten— our family jars will be healed, and vve shal again go forth, conquering and to conquer, under our Rep Uican banner.” But will Hamer stand nfone? We call upon JVf r Rl'nbin I** J.o J ;-c wliioj, JuO has given in his late able speech. Will not his potential voice he heard at the present portentous crisis ? We invoke him to assist the resumption flag, and strike down the sin ister designs of this monied monster. From the Washington Chronicle. MR. ALEXANDER HAMILTON’S VIEWS COMPARED WITH THE VIEWS OF MR. THOMAS RITCHIE. Our readers will recrollcct that we, some time since, pointed out the mode in which Mr. Hamilton, while Secretary of the Trea sury, evaded the express provisions < f the act of 1789, requiring “ gold and silver coin only ” in payment of the public dues, —and by the three of construction, legislated paper issues into money. We promised at the time to show the considerations urged in support of this unwarrantable act on the part of Mr. Hamilton; and to contrast—or rather com pare them with the considerations now urged by Mr. Ritchie in favor of his proposed re union of the Government with the Banks. It is profitable to examine the views of great men —for Mr Hamilton was certainly a great man in the estimation of the whole country ; and Mr Ritchie falls not below him, at least, in his own estimation. We feel no disposi tion to controvert the correctness of the judg ment in cither case. By the terms of the act of 1789, establish ing the Treasury Department, “ gold and sil ver coin only,” as vve have said, were made receivable in payment of tlie public dues. The act in other respects, went upon (lie identical principle now constituting the basis of what is called the Sub-treasury scheme. The public moneys were to he collected, kept and disbursed by the officers of the Treasury, without the intervention of anv banks what ever, either as depositories or fiscal agents. And there was no cry at the time about the “union of the Purse and Sword.” This was reserved for modern agitators and panic makers. Mr. Hamilton, as vve have said, construed the law so as to abolish the section requiring the payment of “ gold and silver coin only ” and to introduce in their place, bank paper. The following reasons fir this usurpation, are taken from his report in Congress of the 22d of April, 1790—We beg particular attention, to them; —for they contain in substance, alt that we now hear from the Nationals and their allies, tlie Conservatives. After con struing the 30th section of the act so as to permit “ receipt of the votes of public banks, issued on a specie fund.” and giving his rea sons, in part for such construction, he pro ceeds as follows: •‘Such were the reflections of the Secretary with regard to the authority to permit hank notes to be taken in payment of tlie duties. The expediency of doing it appeared to him to be still less questionable. The extension of their circulation —(to wit of ihe banks.) by tlie measure, is calculated both to increase the ability and the inclination of the hanks to aid the Government. It also accelerates the command of the product of the revenues fir the public service, and it facilitates the pay ment of duties. It has the first effect, —be- cause the course of business occasions tlie notes to he sent before hand to distant places; and being ready on the spot, either for pay ment or exchange, the first post after the du ties became payable, or arc received, conveys them to the Treasury. The substitution of Treasury drafts, anticipating the duties, could hardly he made without some sacrifices on the part of the public. As they would be drawn upon time, and upon the expectation! of funds to he collected, and of course, con tingent ; it is not probable that they would obtain a ready sale, hut at discount, or upon a long credit. As they would also he more or Ipss liable to accident, from the failure of exjtected payments; there would be. continu ally, a degree ofhazard to public credit. And to other considerations, it mav he added, that the practice of a ticipations of this kind, is, in its nature, so capable of abuse, as to render it an ineligible instrument of adminis tration, in ordinary cases and fit only for times of necessity. ■ “I; tli?-idea of anticipation should he e;-;- efudeff, then the defying’ Wholly on Treasury drafts would be productive of considerable de lay. Kite knowledge that funds were in hand must precede the issuing of them. Here would of course be some loss of time. And as the moment of demand, created by the course of business, would frequently elapse,- there would, as frequently, he a farther loss of time in waiting litr anew demand. In such intervals, the public service would suffer —the specie would be locked up, and circulation checked. Banknotes being a convenient spe cies of money , whatever increases their circu lation, increase the quantity of current money. Hence, the payment ofdulies is doubly pro moted by their aid ; they at once add to the quantity of medium, and serve to prevent the stagnation of specie. “ The tendency of the measure to lessen the necessity of drawing specie from distant places to the seat of Government results from the foregoing considerations. The slow ope ration of Treasury drafts would frequently involve a necessity of bringing on specie, to answer the exigences of Government; the avoiding of which, as much as possible, in the particular situation of this country, need not he insisted upon. “ But, convinced as the Secretary is of the usefulness of the regulation, yet considering the nature of the clause upon which these remarks arise, he thought it his duty to bring the subject under the eye of tlie Hoh*v. The measure is considered by all conCtnied- to be temporary. “ Indeed, whenever a National Bank shall be instituted, some new disposition of the tiling will be a matter of course.” Such were Ihe views of Mr. Hamilton, the great apostle of the Federal party, in regard to the usefulness of abolishing the currency ot the Constitution, as recognized by express law, and the substitution of an unconstitution al currency issued by private corporations for their own exclusive benefit. If the reader will take the trouble to compare them with the daily contributions of the Richmond En-\, quirer and its new allies, he will find how ex-* actlv they tally in form and substance. In deed, the new convert, touched by the wand of the banks, goes a how-shot beyond his teacher. Mr. Hamilton called bank notes only a species of money.” —while Mr. Ritchie and his associates would have us believe they are, or ought to be, the only money. Mr. Hamilton proposed onlv to receive the note* of hanks in payment of public dues; hut Mr. Ritchie would have us not only to receive them, hut make tiie hanks themselves the fis cal agents of the government. Mr, Hamil ton did not propose to substitute an establish ed Department of the Government W recog nizing agents unknown to the Constitution nor to place the public funds frr the hands of trading rorporat'ons; bn* Mr. Ritchie would have us to do h >th. Nav, he would ha"r us, bv law, to organize and constitute the Stale hanks as a substantial, distinct, and essential part of the Federal Government, —thus ad ding to the money ‘nfluence proper to the j Government, arising from the power 1o lay land collect taxes, the enormous influence of the whole money power of all the hanks in the States of the Union. Mr. HamiTfop pro posed the expedient only as a temporary mea sure: hut Mr. Ritchie would engraft it of the Government as a permanent system f — * Thus docs the acorn of Federalism, under the fostering hand of time and culture, sprout, grow up, and east abroad its over-shadowing branches. At first, the revenues, or a* par* of them, were only allowed. agairut the di rect and positive provision of law, to ne paid in hank notes. Next, their notes are made nr legal tender in payment of public dues Then, the banks themselves are admitted into the citadel, an 1 finally become masters of the oarer n<l <l- innc. tie— to he made the receivers, keepers, and didntrsert of the entire funds of the public—thus absorb ing and exercising one of the most responsi ble. delicate, important, and cs:rtfl office* of Government rtse'l f —“can such thin"* lie g , Anti overcome us like a summer's ‘iuod", Without our special wonder ? But why remnnstra le ? Mr. Rilehie tell* ihe people of Virginia that these - vreW* of hi* and Mr. Hamilton arc sound Slate ftigfito views, and the policy recommended wise and expedient, and they believe him. He lias taken up the Hamiltonian notion that “Bank notes urea convenient species of money, and that whatever their circulation, increases the quantity of current money.”’ Hence, to pre vent “ specie from being locked tip, and cir culation frem being checked,” bank notes must he received in payment of the public dues. Well, they were received, and ti e “ circulation was increased, and the quantity of current money” with it. The bubble swelled to the utmost limits, and then—aston ishing fact! bursted! Welt, what now, Mr. ! Ritchie? What shall we do next? What shall vve do to “ add to the quantity rs me dium and prevent the stagnation of specie T* “ Why” says this Hamiltonian Financier, “ you must now receive bank notes, in order to enable the banks to curtail their circulation, and resume payments in spicie /” Admira ble ingenuity ! Wonderful profoundness in finance? First, receive tank notes in order to increase their circulation, and thus pre vent the stagnation of specie, and then re ceive them tn order to diminish their circula tion, and increase tlie quantity of specie ! This is a precious prescription, and discovers a profound knowledge of financial pathology. It depletes in cases of plethora, and strength ens in cases of depletion. A people that can he imposed upon by such quackery deserve to suffer the penalty of their lolly. GEN. JESUP. While vve disapprove of the course of Gen. Jesup in countenancing the desire of the remaining Seminolcs to occupy the ex-* treme southern portion ofEast Florida, how ever “ totally unfit for man to live in,” as that section is represented to he, vve are dis posed to render justice to Gin. Jesup’s mo tives, though vve rannoi hut condemn, in ad vance, the effects of his policy. He was, however, vve are credibly informed, “fully sustained by every general and field officer’ in the course which lie adapted at the council of the seventh, eighth and ninth of February.” In common with n admi ring counlrv for the sacrifices which our ! army in Florida have borne without a mur mur, vve would, if we could, cheerfully relieve them trom such unglorious warfare, but, apart from the injurious effects, a compliance with the expressed wishes of the Serninoles would cause upon the powerful Indians f the west, the unlicensed resort which would exist or* cur southern border, for the outlawed fugiv tive from labor, would secure the general dis approbation of the southern people. We trust that Ihe last, and as vve view if, correct stroke of pofrev on the part of General Jessup in ordering the recent capture ofimore than 500 Indians, in connexion with the ex peditions of Col. Bulkhead and other officers* of our gallant army, will induce the remnant of the Florida Indians to listen tn*terms ofre movat from a soil of which policy as well a - * humanity forbid their longer occupation.
