1t seems due to those who have SC
warmly manifested their friendship to-
wards me in published solicitations to can.
vass for the vacancy occasioned by tbfre-
slgnatlonef the Hon. F. c. Talbert, thai
! should in as public a manner tender to
them my most grateful Acknowledgements,
and state my reason for not yielding to
their requests. My private business and
domestic concerns are so situated at this
immediate j0nc'urc, that could not with
OFT heavy sacrifice, be absent for any
space o time. And The Legislature will
be so soon assembled that it would be ut
terIy impossible for me to make the neces.
'afy arrangements in due time. Did not
of paramount character in
e:rpose, | should have no objection to run
ing: hope that this excuse will satisfy
ny friends. # not, my name shall be at
heir service at the next General election. |

venue is too large? but as a throne re-
quires ''pomp, pride and circumstance
to invest it with a due degree of sanctity
and reverence in the maginations of the
people, our present surplus is not half C.
nough to display the glitter, baube and
dignity of a King, and satiate the rapaci-
Gus hands of hollow-hearted, pitiful and
disgusting courtiers. If we want mon
archy, as It seems, why waste breath in
talking of reduction of the reyenue?-
The present surplus will be absorbed, and
millions piled upon millions, squandered
with royal Prodigality, upon the gaping
lavortes, and insects that swarm only in
the sunshine of arbitrary power. But to

their public servants9 Will they give vent
to no loud bursts Of Indignation, when
they behold an enormous surplus retained
and seized by our public agents, to fee ID
and sustain an unparalleled corrupt dy-
nasty, reared under an american skv. bv

SUCCESSFUL PLoUeHING.-The Nor

that city, while recently engaged in
ploughing one Of his fields, struck upon
a vault containing box filled with gold
and silver coins-valued, it is supposed
at from $4,000 to $4,000.
The vault was partly Of brick covered
over with large stones, well put together
with mortar. 1t was evidently built for
special deposite, and adapted to the
size of the box that was enclosed within
it for so many years. The box was OF
mahogany or cedar, and much decayed
The coin was all over one hundred years
old. and consisted Of Spanish dollars

STEAMBOAT KINGsToS.-This rew boat,
though still in an unfinished state, was put
in motion OH Sunday morning, and surpassed
the expectations Of all concerned, as to her
speed. Though her machinery was entirely
new, and stiff of course, she made her run to
Newport in two hours and twelve minutes;
and returned in the afternoon, against one OF
the most violent northerly winds of the sea-
son in two hours and thirty minutes. The
circumstance reflects great credit on the
builder, and on Messrs. Babcock g. Co. by
whom the engine and machinery are manu-
factured and put in operation. There can be
no doubt that she can make her trips TO and
