proof; let them show where the disease is,
and we will net be backward in applying
the remedy; but it is most unreasonable to
require US to grope along in the dark not
only without the aid Of your officers, but
against their opinions.
I think I have clearly shown that the
committee have done their duty in faithful,
jealous manner that they have not been

wish to notice another argument which
has been gravely urged in this debate. The
House has been called upon TO abolish this
Office, because promises having been made
that retrenchment should take place, and
the publick would be disappointed if this
measure failed. Promises made-and by
whoms Who has the rightto pledge this
House to tie up our condolences, and say
to US, we shall pass this vote, or that-we
shall do this thing, or that? Who has pow
er to sell this House to such purposes No
one, Sir, and am sure no one on this floor
can understand so little of his duty, as the
representative of an enlightened people, as
to make such promises. What is the effect
of such bargain? We are called on to-
consummate it right or wrong; to shut our
eyes against INQUIRY, and against the inter-
ests of the country. Sir cannot sanction
such doctrine, nor do believe the people
Of this country, who are both just and gem
erous, will sanction it. cannot persuade
myself that they demand sacrifice IF their
own interests, or Of an unofending, inno-
cent victim, to redeem any pledge to them.

STATE EXPENSES Some Glamour has
been raised by those who are endeavouring
to overturn the existing, peaceable. aud
happy state of things in our ancient COM
monwealth, against the amount of our
State expenses. We copy below very
satisfactory reply TO this charge from the
Lowell Journal.
The author of the Address of the Middle
sex Jackson Convention, James Russell Esq.
of West Cambridge states in that address,
that the annual expenses of Massachusetts
are $293, 942 45-fffy thousand dollars
more than the expenses of all the other FIVE
states of New-Ens land. From the Treas
urer's return it appears that there was paid,
for salaries and incidental charges for the
support of Government $55,525 60. Ofthis
sum $31 ,342 90 were paid as salaries to the
governour, lieut.. governour, secretary, adju-
tant general, justices of the supreme court
and of the court of common pleas, Judge oil
the municipal court of Boston, attorney and
solicitor general, and reporter of the decis-
ions ofthe supreme court. This sum divided
equally between these several officers would
be less than $4,000 to each, and no one will
presume to say that the Offices are not need.
ed or that the salaries are too large.
To Is Judges of Probate was paid the
sum Of 1856 IS. To Is Registers of Pro.
bate $8.261, Here is less than $1,000 t.
each county for the support Of courts o
probate and when their Importance ant
the mass Of business that comes before then
are considered, it must be confessed tina
we see no ground for retrenchment in tina
department of the government. We thel
have left Of the sum paid about $4,000
which must be distributed among the clerks
of the two Houses. the chaplains, the clerk
in the Offices Of Of the secretary, the treasu
rer, and the adjutant general, the mlitar!
store-keeper, the messengers of the Genera
Court and the watchmen Of the State House
All the reform which the jackson mel
would make in this branch Of expenditure.
Of the government, would be to change tn,
current into their own pockets. Again, Their
was paid to Councillors, Senators, and Rep
resentatives, $65, 400.
If there be any wrong in this expenditure
the fault is not in the government, but i
the constitution and in the people themselves
who have the entire controul of that instru
ment and can reduce the expense oflegisla
ton as low as they please at any momen
they choose to reduce the number of thei
Legislators.
Another item is about $4,000. paid fc
the support Of state paupers, publick print
ing, &c. which cannot be avoided under an
administration, whether pure and patrioticl
or corrupt and extravagant.

SIsNs OF THE TIMES. When a party is
successful and has no common enemy, the
house becomes divided against ITSELF And
thus it is with the party ofGeneral jackson,
man who has been termed by some Of the
binder sort, the greatest and best. Already
the ancient comminglings in his behalf be-
gin to show repellant powers, and those
who united in his favour, less out Of regard
to him, than firm hatred Of the last admins
tration. are endeavouring to feel their way
along, somewhat in the dark and to form
themselves, out of such elements as they
are, into new parties--new organizations.
But few are ready to take sides; the willy
politicians, and all who have honest doubts
as to preference Of probable candidates, are
necessarily at present in the back ground.
The New-York Courier and Enquirer, and
the United States Telegraph are at blows
and thrust and parry in such way as evil
IDENTIFY to show great bitterness and deter.
mination to draw different ways, when the
precise time comes. We agree with the
editor Of the Palladium from whom we quote

together they form volume Of peculiar but
interesting character. They enable the
reader to form correct estimate OF the
character of the poet, and to decide how
far the poetry in its various elements IS typi-
cal Of the man.
There was one trait in Byron that should
commend him to the regard of every Ameri-
can. He had partially for this country,
as the land where well constructed liberty
had taken up her abode. There are various
passages that we can call to mind in his po-
ems, expressive of his sense Of the happy
freedom we enjoy, and commendatory Of
Washington. He abhorred oppression in
every form, and though his course was sim
gularly ordered, and though there was much
in his life and writings that all must con-
denim, tho reverence for his intellect and
for his many excellent qualities Of heart.
must ever outweigh thousand faults, and
attach his memory indissolubly to the sym
pathies Of the worshippers Of genius.
We have before as an original letter of
Byron's, written to friend of ours who Wis
tied him in Italy, in 1923. We copy it be-
low, as it will doubtless be of interest to
some Of our readers -

MILITIA Law. The following is the sub
stance Of the law passed at the late session Of
the Legislature in relation to the militia. We
have taken the abstract from the Boston
Traveller -
It directs that all who hold commissions in the
army navy for less than five years. and all persons
between thirty and forty-6ve years, are exempted
from military duty, except that ofkeeping themselves
furnished with and equipments and the duty of
carrying them annually to the place of company
regular duty between eighteen and thirty years,
inclusive, shall be entitled to receive from the
treasurers of their respective towns and cities,
sum equal to the poll-tax. 1t further makes it un-
lawful for any officer of militia, on days of military
to do military duty There are to Sc three parades;
fine for non-attendance at the FIRST, s.; for the
second, IS; and the third, IS.

MooRE's BYRON. The first volume of
Moore's Byron, published by the Messrs.
Harpers, Of New-York, in stereotype, has
been sought for with much ayidity, and has
been read with equal interest. II contains
q slight sketch Of the early lifsAef the Illus
trious poet, and numerous incidsnsal 'notiees
of contemporaries but the chief attraction
lies in the letters of Byron himself which

tiers written in the unrestrained freedom of
friendship, let us at once into the familiar
life and conversation of the writer, and give
Us that insight into his character and the
various workings Of his feelings and pas
sions that we in vain seek for in more formal
biography. To understand man thorough
ly he must appear to US in his undisguised
moments, when we have him in situation
where he caunot play part, where his very
heart and soul are laid open to view. Iii
therefore we think one Of the chief merits
Of Moore's Notices, as he terms them, tina.
they abound in epistles Of Byron, struck of
in the ordinary and usual states of his mind,
where there is neither opportunity nor de-
sign to produce effect. They are written
with great ease and sprightliness, and some
of them may be considered as worthy mod
els of epistolary composition. Of course
there is great variety in expression and SEN
timent: here little of the moody elements
Of Childe Harold: there alittle of the reck-
lesss spirit Of Don Juan: and again the gentle
Ibreathings under purer atmosphere. AL

franklin RAILROAD COMPANY. The
books for subscription to stock in this Com
pany will be opened in the several wards in
Boston, and in the various towns on the route
on the first Monday of April. The proposed
line passes directly over our Valley. The
citizens generally will be invited to sub
scribe, and contributions either in labour or
materials will be highly acceptable. There
are we know many individuals in our own
neighbourhood who are unable to subscribe
money, but who are ready and DESTROYS to
contribute either in labour or materials, or
both, to aid in the great enterprise. II ap-
pears that the Irish labourers in Boston have
come forward voluntarily and agreed to give
days labour, which will amount, it is suppos-
ed, to one thousand days ,oork. And by an
other communication it appears that the In
dependent Companies, and also great pro-
portion of the Fire Department, will volnn-
teer in like manner, when the ground shall
be laid out"
Ameeting of the citizens of Boston; is to
be held in Fanueil Hall on the 3lst inst. in
the evening, for the purpose Of appointing
Ward Committees and to adopt suitable
measures for subscription to the Stock ia
the Company. There is daily manifesto
ton of increasing zeal in Boston on this
subject, and one that seems Of vigorous
and healthy kind. Will not the good cit
zens on the route stir themselves up to cone
forward and give deeds where deeds are re-
CURED, permitting the passage Of the rail-
road through their lands, and contribute in
money, labour, and materials to help on the
work? Much is expected from those of
middling property. The very rich, that is,
those who are so by inheritance, are some-
what timid, and perhaps much is not to be
expected from them. The active, business
men, those who are up early, who eat the
bread Of carefulness, are the men to begin
and finish this highly improved mode Of in
ternal communication.

REMAINS OF GENERAL WASHINGTON. A
bill has been introduced into the House of
Representatives in Congress, providing for
the removal Of the remains of Gen. Wash
ington and lady, from Mount Vernon, to the
seat Of Government, to be entombed in the
centre of the Capital. 1t also provides for
the erection of marble monument over the
remains, to be surmounted by pedestrian
statue. This subject was taken up soon af-
ter Washington died, and while Mrs. w. was
alive. Mrs. w. gave her consent to the re-
moval of her husbands remains but Con-
gress never proceeded further than to make
the offer. Party scenes usurped the place
of the charities and sympathies that Wash
ington's death FIST awakened. and the whole
subject has passed unheeded till this day.
For ourselves we should much prefer sim
pie monument over his tomb at Mount Yer
non, on the beautiful banks where he resid-
ed, to the most splendid mausoleum that
could be constructed in the imperial city
imperial we fear in no respect, except in
the lust of power. the intrigues, &c. that
marked the descending days of the city on

CONNECTICUT SCHOOL FUND. At the
Convention Of Teachers in Boston on the
18th instant, statement was made by seve-
raj gentlemen from Connecticut, " that their
School Fund was doing great injury to the
cause Of education in that State that not
only schools, but academies, were in low
state, from the great and general apathy,
and the penurious spirit which prevailed
throughout the great mass of their commu-
nifty" We have no doubt of this deficiency
in the schools, as arising from the fund itself
1t is almost an axiom, that the more you Go
for people in pecuniary way, the less are
they inclined to do for themselves. There
is no way Of making the people feel the
benefit, but by requiring them to contribute
to it. When man is obliged to pay money
for any purpose, he looks carefully to see
how it is to be expended, and insists upon
its prudent and economical appropriation.
Elnch as our free schools have been found
fault with in Massachusetts,, as not being up
Nth the age, they are superiour to the schools
in any part Of the country. We have nc
State Fund, that general curse, to come in
the place Of our energies and abate our in
dividual zeal. We are called upon to pa1
for our schools, and thus we take care tc
have good schools. May we never be blight.
ed by State Fund for our schools, to do fol
US, or to attempt to do for usswhat we Ear
do more thoroughly, and to much higher ant
better purpose, ourselves.
