There is but one solution Of this other
wise inexplicable riddle. A perpetual
system of monopoly, revolving and rere-
voIving like wheel, round and round,
from season to season, originated in the
artificial resources Of an obused, prostitu-
ted system Of credit, producing artif-
cial scarcity periodically, onriching those
who initiate or contract the mighty bal
loon at pleasure; starving the poor, pinch
ing the men of middle means, and lalsify-
ing the declaration Of Scriptures, TINT "by
the sweat of his face men shall liye"-
for By the sgeat Of his face he cannot Hre

that every berth was taken up before the ship
arrived out on her last voyage, and many were

Americans are fond of travel, when expedition

BUSINESS PROSPECTS, OF THE CousTRY--We are
frequently told by the opposition that our coun-
trv is ON the brink of ruin--that commerce Is
aapping-that the great staple ofthc South viii
not command price sufficient for the expenses
of growing, &C., and that poverty stares the
merchant, the mechanic and the farmer in the
face every day. These are the charges-now
for tho facts. Commerce is not tagging; look

Speaking Of the result Of the New York cleo
ton, the Baltimore Republican says that it SO al.
footed the poor Feds in that place that scarcely
a word can be got out Of them upon any subject.
Thoy have been SO perfectly dumified, as if they
had but just come out Of a thunder storm with
life and whole bones. We could find it in our
heart to pity them, were it not for the fact, that
no one redeemng trait is to be found in either
their physical or moral natures. Any disaster
to them must be seryiceabc to the common
wealth.

Orleans 10 to IS-look at the price the farmer
and gardner ,ccivcs for his products; witness
the hustle Of the moclanic-sce the store of tho
merchant, crowded with customers. If these
are testimonials of ruin, then we will be forever
So There can be no doubt that few industri-
GUS and enterprising men are embarrassed at the
present, but the burthcn Of suits lie in the men,
who, without capital, rushed heedlessly in debt,
and evolved themselves and their friends, and
after injurng the property sin riotous living"
for five or six years, cry out "give US relief
call the legislature together or we are ruined"
thing" and you are the same.
In relation TO the business prospects of the
country, we refer our readers to the following
article, which VIC extract from the New York
Sun, of the 23d ult;
"The change in the aspect of affairs,
produced by the recent intelligence from
England, Is subject of sincere congrat-
ulation, not only with reference to the
commercial and business prospects of our
country, but with view, also, to the great
cause ofhumanity and peace. II isl tri-
umph of the spirit of the age, which, on
forcing as a cardinal virtue the happiness
and peace of the human family, frowns
upon war and its attendant horrors as a
resort unworthy an age and people
guided by the immutable precepts Of rea-
son, oftruth, justice and humanity.
"Apart FROM the solitude with whichthcy
cannot but regard aught that pertains to
our national integrity and prosperity, the
mechanic, the farmer, and the merchant
have now the satisfaction of assurance,
that they will continue to pursue their
ayocations and enjoy the fruits of their
toll, in the quietude of peace;--a suits
faction heightened by the consciousness
of happy escape from threatened hostl-
tiles, and all the multiplied calamities Of
war. The blighting influence which the
threatened wpr-cloud exercised on oul
commercial and internal affairs, is happi
ly dissipated. The merchant sends forth
his ship on her course with confidence
and continues his operations in trade; the
farmer turns the furrow in continued sc
curity; and the artisans rear their houses
construct their railroads, and make th'
land teen with the products of their ingc
NOUS industry, without fear Of Interrupt
ton or the hand of the Destroyer.
"The influence which the re"net Eurc
pcan intelligence has had in restoring
confidence to all classes, is indeed almos
as surprising as it has been sulutary
The obstruction which was feared to tn
; Aattoring prospects our country had JUS
regained, after leng and dismal stagna
ton. created panic in affairs nearly a
genera, as that from which we had bu
recently emerged, though unaccompanle'
by the same actual pecuniary embarrass
ment. 1t is now already greatly dissipa
ted, and will undoubtedly soon be sue
ceeded by the same fulness of hope ant
vigor that was so rapidly carrying u
through the effects of the great universe
revulsion which had Frustrated our ener
gies, when its benifcent effects wer
stayed, happily but fora season, by tn,
chilling prospect of discord and violence.

THE GOLDEN DREAM.

Oh! would my heart could but forget,
The Joys which now are flown,
Those joys whose loss creates regret,
That they had ere been known.
For now the mind by fate depriv'd
Ofpleasuros SO supreme,
Is left forlorn as one reviv'd
From false but GOLDEN dream.
By ey'ry gentle means strovo
To gain that kindred heart,
With which felt my own was woye
Beyond all power to part
MY suit with bright success was crown'd,

But wretched me- too soon found
Twas but golden dream.
NV breast tender passion burn'd
In all its potency,
And my affections were returh'd
With equal fervoncy.

Meath fortunes smiling CLEAN,
1t frown'd, and woke US with its blast
From this false but golden dream, "
