FINANCIAL INVESTIGATIONS More in
timately connected with the preceding
measure than might generally be suppo-
sed, is the subject Of the Finances Of the
State-for how can community enjoy
liberty and knowledge, when weighed
down and burdened by a heavy taxa
ton? We have, for a number of years,
been dashing headlong into a heavy State
debt, neither pausing to note the sum to-
tai ofliabilities tnat should be met. We
have, it is true, had the "Annual Re-
ports of the state Of the Finances" from
our Auditors; but these Reports have
been as untelligible 10 the People, as
would be the mysterious characters ira
ced upon the walls Of the darkest cham
Der Of an Egyptian Pyramid. The late
session, however, was distinguished for
the many and searching Investigations
into the actual condition of our financial
system. A number Of able Reports up
on this abstruse subject, awakened the
attention Of the representatives Of the
People; refusal to greatly extend the
State debt was an immediate and whole
some consequence; a committee further
to investigate the matter was appointed
to act during the recess; and we feel
assured that when the next General As
sembly convenes, such volume oflight
will be thrown upon the subject, as will
enable the representatives Of thePeople
TO adopt course Of policy which will
tend at once to tighten taxation, and
eventually to equalize, and simplify the
entire financial system ofthe State. We
shall ever consider it fortunate for the
credit of Ohio, that the Wings came into
power at this most interesting period OF
our financial affairs.
The Tinpan leaders were so wholly
and absolutely engrossed in mere party
considerations, that allthe important in
terests of the country were culpably
neglected. The public mind is now
happily drawn to the consideration ofthe
finances, and we anticipate that another
Wing Assembly will so fashion the sys-
tenn as to work an important relief to
the People.-.State Jour. and Reg.

A New England Clergyman in the

A New England Clergyman in the
Himazdyd Mountains. The Rev. Jas.
Wilson, Missionary to Asia, who has
published his labors to the Himalayah
mountain region, thus describes his pre-
sent position in letter published in the
Boston Herald:
You will see from the name at the
head Of this, that / am now a dweller in.
the Plains. When | used, ii my native
valley, to read Geography, and trace the
immense Himalaya range on the map, /
little thought of being d troglodyte,
looking out from among the rocks which
form its awful battlements. But SO it is.
1 now occupy halfof little house built
on the side Of the mountain. lmmedi-
a.ely at the back ofthe house, the noun
tain rises to the height Of 1000 or 1900
feet SO steepthal we have TO ascend sby
winding path-and below a pumpkin
rolled from our door would descend a
thousand feet into an immense rayine.-
All around, as far as the eye can reach,
it is nothing but mountain heaped upon
mountain-Alp upon Alp-in the wild
confusion Of nature, far more rugged aud
PERCEPTIONS, and grand, than any thing |
have seen in the Alleghenies. And far
above all the snow clad summit Of the
Himalayah, towering in pure, unsullied
beauty and awful solitude. Here lie the
SHOWS Of ages-untrod by the foot of
man. Whenever your eye rests upon
it, the mind has the pleasing thought
that at least one thingis pure, and suf-
fered to remain so. The heights of the
Himalayah have never been visited by
man, nor is it known that any thing ven-
lures to perch its aim so high. The
mountains around US, Tor hills as they
are called when contrasted with the i'm
mense piles around,) are thinly covered
with pine and fir trees. The lower
ranges present nothing at this season but
rocks and long brown grass, with here
and there grove Of dwarfish pine
There is no level ground, nothing but
towering mountain or deep ravine.--
There is one mountain peak across the
dell from our door. which stands in soli-
tary grandeur, far above its fellows. 1t
is intently interesting to see it
gathering the clouds around its brow.
When the elements are gathering their
strength for storm, you see the dark,
awful cloud resting on the summit. 1t
seems as if the eternal fires of the globe
had walked up their united strength to
find a passage out, and had forced their
way so far that their smoke shad found
vent at that peak, and were forming a
massive awful pillar /; and you feel a
trembling apprehension Of seeing the
development Of the volcano. AT other
times you see itin an exhibition--though
in much larger scale; where Moses
was called to leave the awe struck hosts
Of Israel, and go UP alone to that sum-
nit covered with darkness and lightning
and held converse with Israel's God.
AT other times the clouds form belt
of various distinctness around its base.
while its summit smiles in the serene a.
boye. Sometimes the sun breaks OFT
upon the clouds when thus stretching a.
round its base, and fill il with a bright
ness, not brilliancy, but moonlight
brightness. painful for the eye TO rest up
on.

MAuMEE CHARTER ELEcrIoN. The
editor of the Miami of the Lake has
blundered upon amare's nest, and incon-
tinently discovered d great Wing victo-
ry in the resuItof the Charter Election
in misplace, and has touched off a great
blunderbuss Of sublimity on the occasion.
It becomes our duty, however, TO inform
the public that the aforesaid wiseacre is
entirely incorrect in this matter, as usu-
al. The Charter Election in this place
was not political. Every Van Buren
man in the third ward voted for Judge
Forsyth, and several Of the leading
wings in the second voted for General
Hunt. in both these wards every thing
like political preference was openly dis.
claimed by both parties. In the first
ward there was more political feeling,
and the result was more nearly equal,
but even there, party lines were not
strictly drawn. We are always happy
enough to record whig victory, but are
perfectly unwilling to get up one for our
own use on any occasion,and we cannot
but feel sense Of disgust at the conduct
Of any man who can take advantage Of
his own ignorance 10 tell story to suit
himself.

feet will be better, as it is not intended
to act uponthe people. but to barricade
the Government, by Withdrawing large
portion of the specie of the country
from circulation. If the sub Treasury
bill does pass, we must try to do the best
we can by it, one thing being sure, we
can hardly be worse than we are at the
present.

SoAp.--The editor of the Miami Of
the Lake seems to think our pockets
would offer but scanty temptation to
the pickpocket. If the said pickpocket
should take from the depository of our
ualuables note of hand drawn by said

he would relieve us much, but cheat
himself confoundedly.
N. B. We will sell said note for ten

THE SUB Treasury AGAIN.-This
measure passed the Senate, by a major
ity of two only. 1t was amended of its
exclusive specie provisions previous to
its passage, contrary to the wishes Of
Mr.. Calhoun, who voted against its final
passage. The next day it came up in
the House, and on motion of Mr.. Pick
ems of South Carolina, it was laid on
the table, by a considerable majority,
though there was scanty attendance
in the House at the time. Mr.. Pickens
charactised the Bill as "an odious and
emasculated measure, having neither
the form nor spirit Of manhood in it -
impotent of good, but fruitful In
the means of doingl evil Mr..
Gray of New York, gave notice that,
on the next day he should move to take
up the bill, but the next day came and
went, and no such motion was made. 1t
is the general opinion that it will be al
lowed to sleep with its fathers, and that
Mr.. Cambreleng's Bill will be the reign
ing lion of the dav in its stead.
