WING NOMINATION..
GLAD TIDINGS DEFEAT OF THE
SUB-TREASuRY BILL.

1t YES us sincere qualification lay before our read
ers the cheering intelligence oil the complete, and we
have believe, irrevocabe defeat OF that bill OF
denominations, the "Independe" Subtreasury Bill II
was rejected by a decisive vote, oh Monday evening,
June 25tl,, and motion 10 reconsider, was made The
next day, which was likewise rejected by ovcrwhe-
ing vote-only "a voting in favor. Another attempt TO
introduce the Special Depose Scheihe," showed a
similar fate-the vote standing 10 ayes-l55 nays.
The .Sub-rreasury Bill has been fayorite measure

Congress- ami enlisted probably interest through
ont the country than any other subject during the sess-
ion In fact for the past six months, or more, IT has
engrossed general atenon,and the voice OF the people IN
all sections has been expressed against it, in terms o; de-
cded dsapprobation, well as towards all the schemes
of the administration connected With t-State after
State has set the seal oreprobaton upon it, members of
Congress have been requested and instructed to vote
against it. and public meetings in all quarters have de-
nounced it, in the strongest TERMS Yet in spite of pub
lie opinion land in defiance of the instructions of the peo-
pie, have the loco 6co administration tenaclnusly
chung to this mscheyois measure, SO rauSit with evil
to the liberties and prosperity of the country, SO clearly
evnced by the deleeriols effect, which the mere asta-
ton Of it produced upon the revival of confidence, and
the resumption of specie payments. With blind and
reckless obstnacy they continued TO press this odious
measure upon the people, and from the desperation and
wckedness of its advocates and the force of party dsci-
pnc and executive patronage there apparent danger
lest the abominable measure should actually triumph over
the expressed will of Tie great body of the people.
But thanks to an tver-ru'ing power this is
dcfeated-and the republic is safe. 1t has not been in
yain that the people have spoken. We are rapid

A CHIP OF THE OLD BLOCK.

lii the speech Of young Crockett, of Ten
nesee, upon the memorial of Francis r.
Blair, i'll reference to the public printing,
Mr. Crockett said.
Sir, by way of illustrating the baseness
and per6dy of this official editor, will re-
late trick that he played off on me at the
commencement of this session. hope the
fact is not forgotten by the House or the
country that the President refused to allow
to the printer of this House copy of his
Message under the ordinary injunctions,
previously to its being read, as was shown
bva correspondent in the Madisonian soon
after-This then believed, and still be-
lieve, was low and pitiful manevre of
His Excellency, to throw patronage in the
way Of the Globe. The consequence was,
that the printer of the House was unable
to supply the Members with the Message
until he could print them, after it was de-
livered, unless he would allow them to be
furnished by the favored editor of the Globe.
Owing to this fact, | and many others were
compelled either to submit to the delay, or
buy from the Globe office.-Knowng the
great anxiety of my constituents to see the
Message as soon as possible, adopted the
latter alternative. i ordered some Two or
three hundred, and they were sent to me,
already enveloped. ! had sent them all
away but two or three, before l opened
one of them; and, sir, what do you mag
inc my establishment was, when discover
ed a prospectus of the Extra Globe SNUG
gled in it Thus you see. sir, by gross
fraud upon the Government and base I'M
position upon me, | was made to frank to
my constituents, for aught know, some
two or three hundred prospectuses for the
Extra Globe! spoke of it to several gen.
tlemen, who informed me that the same
trick had been played off upon them
Now, sir, said MIR C. can any man believe
that wretch who is capable of such snug
Cling, fraud and treachery as this,in small
matters, would not be capable of any
crime, no matter how infamous if he
thought he could escape detection and pun
ishmcnt?

With the exception Of naval and

nity witness more examples Of fortitude
and personal courage than the prac'
TONERS of surgery. What greater
proofs can be given of confidence and
courage, than that with which aPcrson
surrenders himself, blindfolded, and
bound hand and foot to the knife ofthe
operator? Every day in the week this
great metropolis produces, in silence
and i'm secret, acts ofheroism, of strength
of mind, and frmness Of purpose, that
would do honour to an ancient Roman.

lily pain, and the bitter anguish of the
sudden loss of limb. allow do you

Bartholomew surgeon, after taking off

GLOW do / find MYSELF why, without
my arm-how else should find mysell!"
was Mrs. Judy's reply. In another
operation, shortly afterwards, Of much
more Importance, the force of female
character was evinced in a different
manner. A lady, of some consequence
--of highest order as to intellectual
endowments-had occasion to submit
to one Of the most serious, painful, and
protracted operations that the sex car
be subject to. Her case was a source
of deep interest to all her friends, ofthe
most bitter anguish to her near and
dear relatives. When the necessity OF
an operation became decided she de-
termined the speedy and secret execu-
ton of it, and arrangements were made
of her own planning, by which her ply
stefan, three surgeons, and myself, then
a surgical aide-decamp, were intro
duccd into the house, and the opera
ton successfully performed, without
the knowledge Of any one of her own
family, or the cognizance of a large
establishment, excepting her own maid.

CREDIT.

If youth but knew the fatal misery
that they are entailing on themselves
the moment they accept a pecuniary
credit to which they are not entitled,
how they would start in their career!
how pale they would turn! how they
would trembfe and clasp their hands in
agony at the precipice on which they
are disporting! Debt is the prolific
mother Of folly and crime; it taints the
course Of life in all its streams. Hence
so many unhappy marriages, so many
prostituted pens, and venal politicians !!
1t hath a small beginning, but a giants
growth and strength When we make
the monster, we make our master, who
haunts us at all hours, and shakes his
whip Of scorpions for ever in our sight.
The slave hath no overseer SO severe.
