purpose is not only justifisble, but pru-

must be certain that the income of sue.
ceeding years will be sufficient to pay
the interest, and gradually to extinguish
the debt to be contracted. We do not
know that it is in the power OF Congress
at present to settle the question, in what
manner the deficiency III the revenue is
to be permanently made up: we are
pretty sure, at least, that it will not be
settled at the next session, and that an.
other year will be taken to consider of il.
Three words are enough for loan bill,
and many words and much deliberatior

indirect taxation.
There is, moreover, another sabiec,,

decision OF which may, in one way or a.
mother, have an important effect OH the

Ties on Imports. The present Tariff
may be so altered, by augmenting du-
ties until they become prohibitory, as to
reduce the revenue. But it may also

IN order 10 correct the many false rumors
a and injurious reports that have been Tor
some days past most industriously circulated
by either ignorance or malice, we think 1t
proper to state the true origin Of the transac-
tioa 10 which these runners and reports refer.
On the night of the l8tl. inst. one Robert
Hume, HIM H. Brovn, and DaV,d Smedly
did, at late hour, cIandestnely enter upon
our premises, and apparently with the pur-
pose OF etfecting some wicked or malicious
design the precise extent of the motives Il
views which led to this indecent and clam
destine conduct remain in some degree yet
to be developed This much, however, has
since been clearly ascertaned that having
found upon the premises, pair OF scales
with fixtures, erected with all possible accu-
racy tor the purpose Of weighing plaster {;
these said gentlemen Of the dark entirely
disordered them, removed the balance
weight, then actually on the scales, and lett
them in condition unfit for weighing with
any degree of correctness Early on the
following morning, WAGNER who had CAL
led on us, was sent, accompanied by negro
servant, for the purpose Of weighing and
loading ton of plaster, neither OF them
(during the storm OF snow then raging, dis.
covering the alteration made IN the balance,
they proceeded TO weigh and load the same,
while one of those nocturnal gentry lay in
ambush TO watch the procedure, who being
convinced from the manner in which they
had diSordered the scales the preceding
night, tina, there would be deficiency, in
stantly made report TO one of his associates
of what had been done, who hastily sent for
the Clerk OF the Market and at the same
time himself followed The WAGNER, and art
fully insisted upon laying wager with him
that his plaster was deficient in weight
Thus the whole plot brought to close,
moi only without our knowledge, but With
out the smallest suspicion en- our part OF what
was going on.
Now as the proper steps have been taken
by US tohave full and ,air investigation OF
this whole business before the legal and pro-
per tribunal, we only request suspension
of opinion until that investigation can be
properly made.
We will only further add, that our estab-
lishment has existed for many years we
have maintained &supported its credit unsha-
ken through all the storms of commerce and
vicssitudes oftimes and fortune, and through
all our extensive dealings and commercial
transactions heretofore, we appeal to The
