ENERGY AND P2OMPTNESS

With pride and exultation we inform the Amer
lean people that within 36 hours after the news Of
the late murders and praces had reached the depart
ment of state peremptory orders were issued from
the President to the Matches to sail in "a hours at
farthest with instructions to the commander OF the
squadron, thoroughly to scour the West India seas
without cessation, visit every port which could afford
the murderers any shelter, at least once week. This
is as it should be-"
So said the Evening Post Of Monday, and so far
as the facts stated by the Post we cheerfuy adj.
NIT that s. it is it should be- But there is anoth-
er circumstance to be mentioned, which, if we are
correctly informed, is not, in our opinion exactly
as it should be- When the order was received at
our navy yard, directing the Natchez to sail in "a
hours she had her supplies already on board for a
twelve months cruise, and might have put to sea at
once But this order was accompanied by another,
directing entire change of the officers of the Nat
chez, from the Commander downwards. This de-
rangement in the affairs of the ship, as we are in
formed, will prevent her sailing for several days.
Even the Commander assigned had not arrived yes
erday. All the officers of the ship had their private
stores on board for years cruise they must be
removed; and the officers newl assigned must have
time to make the like provisions for themselves.
Meantime, however, most fortunately for our com
merce, Com. Turner, of the u s. ship Erie, though

| From the London Examiner.
| The annual Message Of the President OF the Uni
ted States to Congress, together with the subse
uuentlv received Treasury report that accompanied
it, are well worthy the perusal of tine puny assalers
of every species Of government which give the peo-
pie at large voice in the management OF their own
interest and affairs. 1t is really surprising to US
how little periodical party, sqnabbng upon the
choice Of President, in advertence to disputa.
Bile points Of foreign or commercial policy, can be
made subjects of ominous anticipation, even by ra-
tiona politicians, while the powerful march of the
country, in every social point OF view, is SO album.

this occasional eruptve species of disorder of the
surest signs of political health aud strength. We
Justly laugh at our Newcastles, Horners, &c, with
their bounce of rebellion and resistance, in the event
of this or of that. and not much more affected
with the angry illusions ofsilkmen and shop-owners,
Why then is similar ire in America to produce a
dissolution of Government 1t now appears that
the Tariffs increasing in popularity, or at all events
its assailment as piece of policy has been formi-

military posts are 20 be established on the Canadian
and other frontiers of the British Provinces to
press the threatened smuggling in that direction. 1t
seems that the American Sinking Fund Ia real sur
plus, of course) operates so forcbly. that IN or
years there will probably be no public debt at all ;
fact which induces our evening friend, the Courier
to quantity remark 3
Facts ike these, Mr.. Rush tells ua attest the
true character and value of Sinking Fund, which
can only be effectively such, when income exceeds
expenditure. and clear surplus from the former
is steadily applied to the dimnution of the DEBIT
This is the principle on which the future operations
of our own Sinking Fund are to be conducted, and
as the nourshng state of our Revenue now supplies
us with yearly surplus, our progrcs will. we doubt
not. become as regular and satisfactory as that Of
the United States.''
This is admirable, our own annual surplus, with
much ado is two or three millions, out of
of forty eight millions, against debt of 800 million.
The Americans are paying away similar surplus
of about two millions a-year. out OF a revenue OF
about five millions in liquidation of debt of about
sixteen millions sterling. Comparisons are odorous
