THE NATIONAL CURRENCY

We had the pleasure, few days aro D.,
sent TO our readers luminous report orIb, :
OF finance upon the subject 4, - ',Se
tional Currency, according throushouf u,I y.
views which we have heretofore h,d - u'
take of that subject. We have now tbe I l-,i'u
tiication Of being able To state that n re. 81
Yesterday made in The House of Renre.drs,,.,. 'H
from the eloquent and able pen Of Mr. Nh
Chairman of the committed Of WAYS ami nm
which does honour 10 bis talents. and n n. ~,
pendence and industry Of himself and the CONN.
tee. The report Is Of such length, that we dor..
know when we shall be able to publish il. nm
such interest, that no reader, when be come.
peruse il, would wish il shorter.
The committee have taken up every ro,,.
the question, cvading nothing, shrinking fon =,
difficulty, avoiding no responsibility The r,7,,.
examines The question concerning National b..
as presented by the Presidents message 1l'.
three great general heads or divisions, VIZ. Tr.
the power Of the government 10 establish B,r.

Each of these points Is very folly and cord.
lively argued in the report. The decision olh.
committee is unequivocally in the affirmative q

in the negative on the third. The various obls,

PRoposED RESIDENCE oFTnE INDIAN

PROPosED RESIDENCE OFTHE INDIANS.
The whole country west ofMissouri and
Arkansas, (including the 40 miles severed
from the latter, is already Parcelled out
TO the different tribes who now occupy 1t.
The Cherokees and Greeks are already
murmHring on account Of their restricted
limits, and complain that the government
has assigned to both the same tract OF coun-
try. The productions OF the habtablc
par!s Of the country, under the careless Gull
,afe Of the Indians, viii be found not more
than sufficient to supply the wants of its
present population. And it should be rec
elected, that trctured, as the Indians are,
ulth some Of the characteristics Of clvili-
zaiion. the force Of their original habits IS
broken, which renders them as little quail
fed to subsist on the sterile prairies towards
the Rocky Mountains, as many of our
own citizens.
If tie proposition respecting the forma
ton Of our Indian colony, without the
range Of the States and Territories, con,
tanned in the report of the Secretary fWar,
should be adopted by the Government, we
will have according to the Secretary's
calculation, 20, 000at one litter, in addi-
ton to those already in the country. We
must acknowledge, that the Secretary
would be extremely productive in people
for this colony, but will he tell US, where
he will put them? and how will he subslst

would send IN and sacrifice their goods,
until they had destroyed our manufactures
and then they would and could exact such
orices as they thought proper. This differ
entoperation of duties upon articles which
we can and cannot produce, is so obvious,
that we think it cannot be misunderstood.
Vet we think il is manifest, from the eX-
tract which we have made from the Tele-
graphe, that an attempt will be made TO
persuade the yeomanry ofour country, that
~ a reduction of the duties on teas and
coffee will produce a reduction in the price
Of those articles, so a reduction Of all other
duties will producea reduction in the price
fall other imported articles. Is it not
manifest that the editor of the Telegraph
endeavours TO confound duties upon tea
and coffee with the duties upon other aru-
cIes?
That editor has never before come out
so decidedly against the tariff, as in the
article from which we have made the above
extract Is it not evident, either that he is
misled by this vote for the repeal of the
duties on teas and coffee, or that he expects
TO mislead his readers by cunning use OF
il? The friends Of domestic industry should
be on the alert against this new device OF
the enemy.

WASHINGTON, April IS.
You will have perceived by The papers,
the result of the premature shout Of veto
ny raised by Mr. P. P. Barbour in con
sequence of the rejeGtion Of the Buffalo
road bill on Wednesday. The remark
which he made on ending the adjournment
that glory enough had been won for Ont
day, stirred up the lesser spirits of the par
ty. and the strain was continued, swelcd
and echoed from the one end of the line Of
Southern members 10 the other. The spir.
it of the internal Improvement members
was thus reused: and when this was dis
p. ned, Mr.. Barbour was instantly on
tho aib.t, apologizing and explaining in
order 70 se,He that irritation OF feeling
Which he had BEN Instrumental IN Produ'
cling. He followed the members on the
other side INTO tie lobbies, and even IN the
committee rooms to do away h!e injurious
impression he had made; and on lie Hoo
Of the House, after the question of the con
siderauon was taken up, he grayeIy tolo
the House he moaut no offence, and ap.
peaed to the fact, that he had been fifteen
wears a member OF the House; IN all which
time be had never before been guilty Of 4
breach Of decorum, IN order to satisfy the
House that he could not have intended
what io said IN this easel After the ques
ton Of consideration was carried, Mr..
Pearce of Rhode Island rose, and said some
glory had been achieved, although not so
much as he had wished, and he would
move to adjourn. Mr.. Tucker Of South
Carolina, sprang up in some agitation,
and SAID whatever glory the gentleman
might think had been obtained the house
had not gained much honor. Mr.. Pearce
subsequently, withdrew his motion. 1t has
lately been asserted, aud with great con-
6dence, that the influence of the President
was directly applied to induce members to
vote against this bill; and that IN cOnso-
queace Of this influence, above 20 menu

GOOD NIGHT.

The clock strikes ten: its warning sound
 Reproves my long delay: Yet who from scenes where bliss is found
 Would wish to haste away. And who would stop to count the hours Where every path is strewed with flowers, And beauteous prospects charm the sight. Forgive my fault. Good night! good night. And oh! if other words than these
 A warmer wish convey, My heart the welcome phrase would seize,
 Its feelings to pourtray: Whatever comfort nature knows, Whatever blessing Heaven hestows. May these thy peaceful heart invite To constant joy. Good night! good night! Sweet and refreshing be thy sleep,
 nd all thy visions h!esti Angels their watchful guard shall keep,
 Nor evils dare molest. And in the silent midnight hour, When fancy with her magic power Paints distant fGorms in coiors bright, Remember me. Good night.good night!

cold, the dew drops were lying thick upon the lank blades of grass, anda mist was rising from the earth, which partly obscured the distant objects. She yhn- tured onward, invoking Heaven for the safety of her lover, (for then she thought not of the King,) when suddenly turning her eyes to the ground, she witnessed the object of all her solicitude, lying on a cold bed of turf before her. He who had often hailed the sound of her foot steps, was now heedlessofher approach; ; his cheek, with her pure kisses, felt not now her pale and delicate lips as they fed greedily upon the death damps of his face. She passed her white fingers over his brew, and when she saw them smearcd with the unnatural stain Of Ii yid gore, she laughed in the deliriura ofher despair, tillthesound efthe moun- tain echoes, mocking her tone of misery awoke herto the burning, realizing sense of her soul agony. A fisherman who had witnessed the scene, at this moment approached the spot; she looked wildly round and beckonedh him away, but when she saw him still advancing towards her, she uttered piercing shriek, and in a few minutes was seen on inc summit Of an adjoining preeipice. She waved her white arm for 8 few minutes, as in tri- umph, and then sinking upon her knees at the utmost verge of the overhanging brow, she crossed her hands over her face, and instantly bending forward, sank gently into the deep dell below. Such was the arial delicacy of her form, that not a limb was bruised, and nothing but the abs enee of breathing indicated the calm triumph of death. The anfor- tunate lovers were buried ill one grave, and nothing is left to perpetuate their memory but the imperishable cliff, which rises, like the Genius of History, over the spot, to consecrate their immortal fame.
