or down eternity TO their consequences. Not single

come part of the trrne past or the time TO come anc
thus mixwrh the great everlasting both IN time and
in space. The newsof day-oi we;k-is supposed
by the superficial bloekheads who conduct newspapers
and govern nations-or cheat the pubiIc-or sell

street. to he of trirg snoment And SO lst them.
To the philosopher who dips deeply mo things, ii IS
different.
What is more insignificant than the news we.haye
received from Europe during the last week! Nothing
is doing in that regtcn. Kings, powers, and poten-
tates are only eating sleeping, and continuing the
race iEer hundred years the royal races'of Eu-
rope have been engaged IN business only tit Tor loaf
crs. There is deai canl-but il Is only the calm
that precedes the hurricane The highest state OF cv
lzaon is as revolutionary the darkest despossm.
Sirrcoouf last, in our own country, we nave had
somes remarkable events. An old Presldenthassieft
power, and gone, back 10 his farm IN Tennessee,
snsoiing his pipe by the way. Another fresident'has
succeeded to the purple, perfumlng himself with
cologne water by the way. An old Congress, that has
left the worst character behind that Congress
did has gone back their haunts OF folly IN sheir
several districts. "A new Congress has not YETI
IN Washington, but things 60 as they have ceen
gong ii were better that no Congress should meet
it better that he Kitchen should supply space,
and tTy if they could not grease the naton as they
sometimes grease their own vlrtuous palms and
pockets.
The country in commercial relations is left precise
ly in the same state when the session began.
Mr. Van Buren, has every thing in his power, but he
will not act until be too late 10 aet with grace and
propricty. Will he follow out the policy of General
jackson? Is he yet afraid Of the "old man OF the
mour;ainP' Will he act according TO his own acute
Judgment and put party into the kitchen corner TO
clean knives and brush boots We shall sse.
La tine legislation of the states observe nothing
particular. Canals, rail roads, banks are the prncl-
pal subjects of legislation out Q New York. The
whole country, son;h and west IS Initiating and fol-
lowing the policy of New York, which has made her
so rcE and powerful during the last few years.
In Albany, the Legislature is copying after the ex-
aaplecf Congress They are stepping precisely IN
their footsteps. Are they as idle Yes Are they
as ridiculous? Yes. Are they as clumsy? Yes
| Are they as foolish Yes Are they talkatixc
Certainly They do nothing in Albany but talk all

which we.shall not name, because il would make onr
fair readers God bless their rosy checks and laughing

The only prominent measure that ATTRACTS public
attention - the general banking law, by which the
safety fundsys;em IS opened TO the whole public, as
wide as the doors Of the City Hotel-not the Astor
Of the Prince ien of Astnias which he labelled at
ordinary one day at Saratoga "prlvae."
If this banking law pass, II will create great revo
luton in the banking system of this state, and will
more than ever, require Congress TO create great
tional bank To cmtrol and regulate the currency. Ii
is in fact making existing system in New 4 ork

England. Now tisat system without great bank

In our own good selty the news has not been very
