Or. Goodman Some wears ago in
conversation with us, he said that in a
voyage TO sea in early Lille, he had seen a
lad who had Just begun to be sailor,
gong out TO some projecting part Of the
rigging. His arms were supported by a
spar, and looking below him for rope
wh1ch ran across, on which his feet
should be. The rope flew from side TO
side, s"d 1t was evident that the poor
fellow was becoming dizzy, and in dan
ger OF falling, when the mate shouted to
him with all his force. 'sLook alon YOU
sneaking inbber ~ BY thus turning a.
way his eyes from the danger, the dir
zlness was prevented, and he found his
footing. And this incident. the Doctor
said, often occurred 10 his mind in after
life, when his troubles grew heavy upon
him, and he hardly could find ground
whereon TO tread. At such times he
heard the mate shout in his ears, and
turned his eyes 'alolt' TO the prize upon
which he had fastened his hopes. We
cannot part with this beautiful illustra-
ton, without asking each Of our readers
to apply it 10 still nobler purpose to
steady themselves in all adversely by
looking towards that life in which there
is rest and peace for ever more; and
hen our flesh and heart shall fail us,
and we can find no support under our
feet, TO seek it by looking alojt" TO
Him who is the strength Of our hearts
and our portion forever. "--Lneraru

FOR THE MADIsoNfAN.
NATIONAL CURRENCY STATE BANKS.
THE MARYLAND PLAN.
No VIII


No VIII.
In considering the point of adequacy with refer
ence the system and illustrations presented in the
documents, No. 6, of both branches of Congress, at
the late extra session, il is to be understood that the
proposed NATIONAL CuRRENcY," is not intended for
the ordinary purposes of money, but auxiliary
to the specie basis, and mainly to supply the faci-
ties of commerce and interchanges in large transac
tons aid of TIE issues Of the Public Institutions OF
the States. And although the limit, being only
trcRty nine millions and four hundred thousand dol
lars, for the whole Union may appear too much con-
traced the amount authorized to be issued is greater
than the greatest circulation of the late Bank of the
United States-but, if found by experience to be ina
dequate, the demand might be supplied by further
emission in just accordance with the equitable prin
cipes of its creation ..... 3. .....
The design of the proposition as heretofore set
forth, is the restoration of equilibrium in fiscal
power to the States, for The common benefit Of oHthc
people and il being apparent that its operations would
be peculiarly favorable to the State in proportion to
their franchise in the election of a President and
Vice President of the United States it commends it.

inducement would exist to infict the evils incident
to the present vicious banking system.

g. The cash balances, and productive capital ofthe

s. The deposi,es of their respective revenues and
collections, with those of individuals firms, and cor

institutions would command, would mainly embrace

Take, for example, the smallest components Of the
