 When our independence was achieved, their course was alike wise and patriotic.- They saw the infirmities of the old confede- ration, and saw also the means by which they might be remedied. To their everlast- ing remembrance be it said, that they acted as body of men, with foresight and wis dom. They assembled at their head-quar- terS, the Green Dragon, and prepared a me- morial full cf profound and statesmanlike reasoning, in favor of the adoption of the Constitution. When their Committee went to Philadelphia to present it, and Paul Re- viere was asked how many they were, he told them they were more than there are stars in Heaven" With the Sagacity of statesmen, never surpassed, they saw the ad- vantages of general union; of a uniform system of impOsts, and of a uniform curren- cy and medium of commercial exchanges When the Constitution was adopted, and that fact was known, they held such festival as has never since teen surpassed. The trades ! formed 8 procession and exhibited their hearty manifestations of joy. They felt kcenly, because they saw the necessity of having uniformity in the laws, and union among the people.

Gardener's Work for August.-Be very diI- igent in keeping your crops free from weeds, using the hoe where most convenient, andin other cases let your thumb and fingers be- employed. Putup the haulm of peas. beans. &c. and remove it to your compost bed. bu- ry it between rows of plants, or throw it to- swine to be manufactured into manure. Your dunghills and compost heaps should, during the summer months, be kept free from weedss for if the seeds are permitted to ripen and fall, the dung when carried into the garden, will disseminate weeds innumerable. This month as well as the latter part of July is the proper season for inoculating or bud ding. MMahon says :-" Cherries, plums. or any other fruit trees may be budded in August if the bark parts freely from the stock. Pears ought to be inoculated the early part of the month, or when the sap flows freely; but the peach, necfarine' almond and apple will succeed any time De- tween the first of August and the twentieth of September, provided the stocks are young and vigorous"

MIR. CAMsRELENG,s BILL.

This bill is essentially the same as Mr..
WRIGHT's. II omits the aristocratic title OF
Receivers General, and substitutes Public
Receivers instead. 1t also defines the num-
Der Of clerks, and limits their respective sala-
ries. There is less detail about il than the
former one, but equally, if not more objection
able nevertheless. The details, as Mr.. Cam
breleng says, can be agreed upon at any time.
"Admit and establish the main proposition,
and the details will take care Of themselves.
Give US the votes to establish the principle;
we care not from whom they come, nor trhm
becomes Of The men ,cho gire MenI" This is
the language openly he'd by the desperate adj
vocutes of this miserable measure. We warn
our friends, and the friends Of the country, not
to admit the principle in any shape or degree.
Stand to your arms. Oppose the scheme at
all hazards. utftr the bill to pass into law,
and this administration, or any other, may per-
petuate its power, and dictate its succession,
at its will and pleasure.
A bill, three lines in length, would answer
their purpose just as well, if the details are to
be left to discretion. Remember the Roman
Questors--fnur at first afterwards eight,
fifteen, twenty, and increased toFoRTY. Your
Receivers General are to be four in number
also.-How long shall it be before FORTY will
be demanded. And who can refuse the de-
mands of the power which this Congress can
moi resist noe; much less when it un.tes in its
hands the purse and the sword!

THE REMEDY.

In the following views of the Frederick
Times we most fully concur. Indeed, we have
heard some Of the most strenuous supporters
Of the Sub Treasury scheme admit, that they
believe, if Mr.. Rives's proposition as sub
sti,ute for Mr.. Wright's bill should be adopted,
the banks would be enabled to resume pay
ments of specie in thirty days thereafter to
very great extent. Yet the Executive recon-
mendaton must be supported even to the ruin
of the country.
The only measure which the wit of man can de-
vise suitable the present emergency, and calcua-
ted to prevent Of the late catastrophe is
the bill of Mr. Rives. Let that bill pass in the shape
he introduced it, and the signature of the President
be attached it, general rejoicing will be heard
throughout the nation. Hope and confidence and
enterprise would spring up in the place of dismay,
CONSERVATION and gloom; and bclore ne fra dag ~
June, there would be general resumption OF specie
payments by the banks. Nothing but the yawnng
laws Of the greedy Unsuitable Sub Treasures which
are ready to suck in every dollar of specie The mo-
men resumption is attempted, keep matters in their
present deplore BILE condition. Until that abomn; Bile
measure is forever blndoned in its heghlh length
and breadth, il will b. impossible for the banks
resume, as il is for to up hill unless they
calculate on winding up their business Immediately
II they open their vaults their contents will nstan "
flow into the vaults Of the Sub Treasures and b. as
far from the pockets Of the people as they are now
unless the Government places their an equal
footing with the precious metals in all its fiscal trans
&C ions Butthere is no hope fer is, and no hoie for
Ma coantry uniess Congress shlll speedily pass Mr.
Rives bill If, on the contrary they shall defeat the
lust expectations Of the people anu nis ruinouS hard
money humbuggerv be persisted in, the country will
continue TO b, flooded with shinpldsters or carried
back TO the old miserable system oi .rterinS
