community, in derogation of every princi-
pie of sound banking, and every dictate of
patriotism and morality, the depression and
prostration Of The banking interests and trade
Of Neao- York, is this primary object.
We ask the state to look at this fact: to
ponder upon it, and then ask themselves
who are the political friends Of this Bank
who are leagued with it in assailing the 60
verement, and in thwarting and embarras-
sing it, as far as possible, at every step
and who, familiar with the designs of the
Bank and IFS manager upon our own state
and city interests, have nevertheless scarce,
ly whispered censure of its daring ard
fagitious course.

The -Ne,cspaper.-A newspaper taken
in family seems to spread CLEAN of in.
telligence around. 1t gives the children a
taste for readng-it communica ties ali the
important events which arc pass ing in the

amusement; and furnishes fund of in.
struction which will never be exhausted.
Every family, however poor, if they wish
to hold place in the rank of intelligent

property sufficient to make himself easy for
life, and surrounded by children eager for

Of cupidity and neglccts to subscribe to a

Jackson's Birth Dau.--On the fourteen

Jackson's Birth Dayton the fourteenth
Of this month MURDERER Jackson en-.
tered the seventy second year of his age.
Late accounts from the Hermitage repre-.
sent him as fully recovered from his recent
attack, and enjoying re-invigorated health.
1t bids fair to last for several years yet, per-
haps to the discontinue of Mr.. Van Bu-
rem, whose independence is supposed to be
entirely shackled by his " illustrious prede.
cessor."
The above, from the Albany Daily Ad.
rertiser, rank federal, is, indeed, beautiful
paragraph MURDERER Jackson. So,
MURDERER Jackson has "entered the
seventy second year of his age" This is
the patriot and the soldier, who fought our
battles for years-whose name and bravery
constitute one of the brightest pages in A.
merican history-whose craftsmanship is
acknowledged by all who speak without pre-.
judice-and who contributed more than a.
ny other President to the agricultural and
commercial prosperity Of the country
This is MURDERER Jackson ! The Dai.
ly, also, with great dissatisfaction seeming
ly, remarks, he "bids fair to last several
years yet" Perhaps, if he lives too long,
he might be put out of the way, if the U.
S. Bank would hand over another $50, 900
to accomplish such benevolent end 1t
might be justified on the ground that he is
existing beyond the allotted time stipulated
in the scripture, viz: "Three score years
and ten." Oh yes! Poison him Shoot
him Hang him +! Put the MURDERER
out Of the way =!

"To the great surprise Of all, President
"Van Buren, has submitted proposition to
"the governor of the state of Maine. for that
estate to give up part of the disputed ter
"ritory to the British, for the purpose of set.
sting that long and vexed question Of boun-
"dary."
The above contemplate SANDER comes
to us through the columns of paper call.
ed the Pittsburgh Wing. That paper di.
lates considerably upon the outrageous pro.
position of the President. The facts upon
which this calumny is founded, are simply
these. The British Government through
their minister at Washington, made pro-
position to our government, that new arbi-
ter should be chosen, with power to desig.
nate line, which should be acceptable to
both parties. Our government replied to
this proposition that it could not be enter.
tained-the President having no power to
accept any proposition, which could posi-.
bly, interfere with the boundaries of the state
of Maine, otherwise than described in the
treaty of 1888, and confirmed by that of
1915. The limits of Maine could not be al
tered, by any power whatever, without her
consent in her independent capacity.
This proposition was afterwards modified,
by the British minister, into request that
it be proposed to the state of Maine, TO con-
sent to such arbitration; the proposition
was made through the President, and de.
cined by the state government. So the mat.
ter stands in statu quo.
Had the President taken any other course
than this-had he refused 10 make any pro.
position, at the request of the British min
ster, or had he used any arguments or in.
ducments to persuade Maine to comply with
it, he would have been open to censurc.-
But he did not.

Good NewS.--We are gratfed to learn,
by the Albany Argus, that the bill to pro-
vide for the speedy enlargement of the Erie
Canal, was ordered to be engrossed for a
third reading in the Assembly on Saturday,
without division, and with little or no ep-
position. II contemplates the completion
of the work in five years, and appropriatcs
sum not exceeding four millions of dollars
for the present year, il that sum shall be re-
quircd TO prosecute the enlargement with
the necessary expedition and advantage.
We trust this bill will be Immediately ACT

Treasury Notes.-We are credibly in.
formed that merchant of this city, (Fed.
eralis) day or two since, offered gold in
exchange for Treasury notes to the amount
of $4,000, but was refused. How giori.
ously these experiments work To exhibit
the odious light in which these Treasury
notes are held, we give an extract from
letter to the editor of the Globe, dated
FAyErTE Co. KY, March 1, 1888.
Dear Sir The operation of the Sub.
Treasury would be most favorable to do.
mestic exchange if we are to Judge from
the circulation of the Treasury notes now
in circulation. Traders in stock are now
returning from the South with Treasury
notes, obtained at 9 and 10 per cent. for
Alabama paper. Here, a ready sale is
found for specie at 5, or our paper at 8,
had the notes Of Alabama been brough,
here. The exchange for Kentucky piper
is and 10. The traders have therefore
gained 9 per cent. by these treasury notes.
The argument on the score of boarding the
revenue is utterly groundless. The trans
mission of funds from one part of the u
MON to the other, will most certainly keep
in active circulation an exchange Of the
best character TO an amount al all times
nearly equal to the revenue. l have been
led into these remarks from Witnessing the
advantages Of Treasury notes in the course
Of n few days, and clearly perceive the con-
fidcnce which even the bittcrest Wing has
lin them, compared to bills Of exchange, or
even checks Of the most of the Southern
banks. There is no consultation or inqui.
~ about the drawer Of these bills, all are
glad to get them. At this moment, 4 per
cent. advance on specie is the rate Of ex.
change for Treasury notes.-Missouri Ar

Clover and Rye seed.--If you have neg
lected to sow clover at seed time upon your
winter grains you may sow TO advantage,
as soon as the ground is bare (the sooner
the better) or upon light snow--both will
answer well. You may harrow down your
corn.hills or light potatoe grounds as soon
az the surface is free from frost, and SOW
your spring rye, it will generally do better
than after ploughing as late as the first Of
May.
