The appropriations by congress could do little more
than pay the interest, and reduce the principal, OF
the national debt, make necessary provisions for
inture foreign aggression, pay the pensioners oil
the revolutionary and late wars, exlingush the In
dian title to lands and pay the purchase money OF
Louisiana and Florida. The President informs us,
that the national debt will be paid off in the course
OF ten years, and that gradual extinction OF Sc
vera other expenditures must take place w la,
mighty sum will then be annually at the nation 8
disposal, Tor national purposes; and what mighty
works may not be done with it in country where
every public expenditure is not converted, as in

Although the annual sum to be thus expended,
should not exceed millions OF dollars, the pre-.

If the state OF New York can, in eight years, make
400 miles OF canal, at cost of seven millions OF
dollars, how many miles can the United States
make in ten years, with fund Of ten millions oil

Our limits will not permit US to pursue this sub

prosperity, until political prophecy, long since

some time ago that General Wives, when ambassa
dor in this county. declared to the editor in con
yersation that the story which had been circulated
of a quarrel or alteration between him and the
Secretary of State, Mr.. Adams, was utterly untrue
This alsehood was an electioneering expedient and
employed to produce the impression that he Secre
tary had been irritable and unfair in his official in
lercourse with the foreign ministers. A respeca

PICTURED ROCKS.

III the territory Of Michigan, Oh the Southern
shore Of Lake Superior, is series of rocks rising
perpendiculally out of the water 10 the height III
some places Of 500 feet. They commence about
a hundred miles west of Point Aux Pins, and form
the shore Of the lake for distance Of . Oh is
miles The rocks are sandstone, ana the action Of
the waves has worn them into the most grotcsquc
forms, which suggested tile appropriate name IF
Pictured Rocks. The following description Of
them is given BY Governor Cass, Who passed them
in Ills expedition to tie head of tile Mississippi vi

and the Indians, before they make the attempt Of
fer their accustomed obations to propitIae the IA
yor Of their Manitons. The eye instinctycy search
along this eternal rampant for single place OF
security, but the search is in vain. With an inf
passible barrier of rock on one side, and an inter-
minable eXpanse Of water on the other, sudden
storm upon the lake would inevitably insure
destruction to the passenger in his fra canoe, a. if
it were on the brink of the cataract of Niagara

from the precipice, are concealed beneath its wa
