DOMESTIC LIFE.

DOMESTIC LIFE.
If there be on earth, situation in life,
more happy than another, it is in the do
nestle circle and ifthere be feelings any
where to be found, "with less of earth in
them than Heaven it is in this sacred
temple, where confidence and mutual kind
ness, are alternately interchanged; where
friendship and love exist in purity and sim
certify.
The great author of nature, in wisdom.
designed that mans highest interest and
most solid happiness, should be dependent
one upon the other: and moreover, that
our duty should be blended with BOTH
They all centre here-here unite. One
grand aim seems to be sought; one object
obtained, and that is happiness. One hope,
one end and one common interest is here
promoted. Every social relation is here
best cultivated, and best hourishes in this
genial soil. Cowper has described it as
"The only bliss
OfParadise that has survived the fall"
Every one looks upon it as his blessed
abode. where most his pleasures, most his
interest, and most his happiness are to be
found. In his holy sanctuary virtue and
innocence finds protection, morality and
religion home. They are nursed and
taught by example to the young mind that
is Just learning how to shoot. He who
seeks honor and dignity, wealth and pros
perity, in domestic life, will hardly fail oil
success; but he who neglects it, in the day
spring of youth, for the pomp and show oil
the world, in after life may encounter the
pangs of disappointment, and the neglect
t of society; and will, in consequence, be
miserable, if not contemplate. How insi
pd would all the world appear if it were
not for the possessed or anticipated happi-
ness which springs from a fearful, tender
and enlightened friendship, and which
, alone is to be found in domestic life. The
recorded testimony of distinguished public
, men, proves that the Establishments o.
/ power, and the dazzling, but uncertain
: pleasures of office are inferior to the ex
$ quisite delights enjoyed with family anc
Fl friends. Power and station will no., o
: themselves, afford pleasure. If they be
not associated with his domestic joys, they
: are burdens to the incumbent.
Domestic life is the sphere of woman
q Fo- the most part she is precluded from
e public stations, and from nature and habit

t her family. In no situation does she ap.
r pear more lovely, more innocent, and more

{ herself, perfectly at ease, and seems mas
a ter of her household and the things apper

: and friends she imparts her blessings ant

THE CRISIS.


REPRESENTATIVE QUALIFICATIONS.
If there ever was time that called "a
loud for freemen to lay their shoulder to
the wheel, and use their utmost strength
to save their country from the vortex OF
ruin, now Is the time, The system fraud
and speculation, now successfully practi-
ced upon the people of this state, by an
organised horde of gamblers, spectators,
and bank parasites, is enough to arouse
the Indignation of an oppressed and suffer
ing people. The voice of oppressed thou
sands is heard from every corner OF the
state. The enemies Of honest industry,
impudent with success, and inflated with
pride, are rallging their train bands for
the ensuing fall election. They know that
the people, when they rise in the majesty
of their power, will, with one fell swoop,
strike them from existence. They know
that the tenure, by which they hold their
existence, is futile, and must shortly crum-
BILE to atoms, yet their insatiate appetite
for plumber still urges them on in the I'M
holy war of speculation and fraud, which
they have waged against the people
They are actively and zealousl engaged
in apportioning their ill-gotten treasure
and deriving new means by which to gain
more. They know the fate that awaits
them, and that vengeance claims the full

BANKS AND BANKING.-The advocates
Of Banks and Banking say, that although,
in all instances, the banks have betrayed
the confidence reposed in them, and bro't
ruin and distress on the whole country,
they might be conducted in such man
ner as to be benefit. Should we admit
the position still, is it not hazardous, when
ia no instance in the past history of bank
ing, can it be shown that they have been
general adyantagea Any system liable
to so much abuse should be closely re .
stricted, or entirely abolished.
That something will be done in the
next legislature to remove the evil, seems
10 he expected by many. One thing is
certain, that if cur legislature would SO
restrict these institutions as to prevent
them from infringing on the rights Of the
people, it would render great service to
the Stat;; but this is not to be expected
as long as our law makers are interested
in banking.
What is the power claimed by the banks /?
Nothing less than to manufacture spuri-
GUS currency, and that too, to double or
tribe the amount pledged for its redemp-
tion. This rag currency carries no value
with it, nor is the banker bound to redeem
il further than his stock or inclination
reaches; having the power to expand OF
contract at pleasure. While this system
prevails, who, in his senses, could expect
sound currencyi
II is said that "the currency is the helm
by which the ship ofcommerce is steered.'
If this be true, should not the people hole
il in their own hands? But no, the banks
give it its direction to suit their own in
terests. Thus circumstanced. can the pee
pie consider themselves lree2 No, Blu
the slaves Of bank tyrants, the very wors
that ever lordcd it over degraded an
oppressed community. The interests {
bank spectators are not the interests
the people, and that they will or can col
duct their own and the peoples intere:
alike, can not be expected. 1t is the il
terest of all bankers to flood the countr
with paper currency, that to-day passe
current, but tomorrow is good for nothing
But it is the interest of the planter, me
chanic, and all who deal on sound credi
TO have sound currency, The planter
thus able to send to market the produc
ofhis labor at lower rate than those VIII
have a fuctuating and spurious currency
he wants but sound currency to protec
bis interest and to guarantee to him tn
fruits Of his labor. The interest of tn
artzan and laborer is promoted by promo
ing thai of those with whom they are cor
nected. Their interest is not to have fuC
tuation in the currency, for they, by tina
may have to pay more than what the
contracted for, if not in name, in reC
value.
II banks operate thus against the int
rest Of the people, why are 50 many
them chartered' The reason is obviou:
the people were not consulted by the |,
gislators who bartercd away their right

the western trade passing through Pitts.

celebrating rapidity. A large portion Of
the commerce of Lake Erie centres there
and much Of the trade between Balt.

ton, as nearly the whole route between
the two cities is now passable by canal
or roilroad. The communication between
Philadelphia and the Ohio river has tho

Suns to the viewless spheres!
We children of the sun
Tell ifye can the years,
Since first your course begun!
Saw have We bIazed so bright.
Ger yon blue field on high;
To guide the spirits flight,
When mounting 10 the sky
Or ere the glorious morn,
That hailed the birth of time
Broke forth; in ages gone;
Tell me was that your prime
Answer are We the land,
Where bliss eternal reigns;
To mortals, the best strand,
When freed from earthly pains?
Hear We the angel choir
OF winged seraphilns;
Tune the immortal Tyre,
To rapture stirring hymns
Or are We worlds like ours;
With hill, and dale, and plain;
With herbs, and fruits, and flowers;
With snow, and hail, and rain
Blaze on We glorious suns,
Through The wide realm of night!
While times old chariot runs,
And darkness follows light!
But have thai within
More lasting far than We;
Which lives. which but begins,
In Immortality.

A bill protesting to provide for General Bank
ing has passed the House of Representatives OF
Mississippi. 1t authorizes any number of indivi-
duals, not less than twenty, to associate for the
purpose of banking; the capital of any one bank
not to exceed two millions of dollars, nor to be
less than five hundred thousand.
Three-ffths of the stock subscribed, to be paid
in before the bank issues any notes. The stock
holders are liable in sum equivalent to the amount
of their respective subscriptions.
Another provision of the bill is, that the banks
created under may receive and hold for debt real
and personal property, to an unlimited amount.

Extraordinary Cause.-The Red Lake Gazette,
mentions that an extraordinary cave has lately
been discovered near an upper branch of the
Chippeway River, District of Huron,) which con-
stantly emits current of gaseous air of such ex-
tremely offensive smell, as to render it impossi-
BILE for any one to enter. What is still more re-
markable, dogs will rush in with great avdity;
but as soon as they have entered they set up
frightful bowling and yelping, which gradually
dies away in the distance till all is quiet. No
dog is ever SAID to return.

great contest is now the order of the day in
France, relative to the claims of colonial SUGAR
and that produced from beets. Both parties are
heard before what they call the Higher Council
q Commerce, consisting of twenty-five members.
The slttings are attended by all the cabinet minis
tiers, and the rival parties are heard by delegates
and advocates; and, in the course of their plead
ings, they every detail of fact and argument
There are powerful parties in favor of the colo
NAL claims, to wit: all the branches of trade and
industry connected with the navigation of the sea-
ports; the manufacturers of sugar and of rum in
the West Indies; all who are connected with the
produce and manufactures exported to the colo
mes. The leading journals of Paris have Joined
the same side, most of them with view to en-
barrass the ministry. The colonies have peti
toned tor reduction of 20 francs per hundred
klogrammes on the duty on sugar imported from
tne colonies. Those sugars are loaded with du-
Ties three times the amount of those levied on the
beet root sugar, and in consequence of the agita-
ton OF the abolition, the distress of the planters
has become extreme. 1t is said that the French
sugar colonies give employment to four hundred
vessels, equal to 100, 900 TONS and 900 or 600
seamen take off from the mother country from 5O
to sixty millions of her produce and manufac-
lures, and furnish the principal support to the ma
vigation for the fisheries.
The beet root party have also made very
plausible case: they allege that they have CAPT
tai OF not less than 60,OOO,OOO francs invested in
the business, $4,000 workmen, 600 factories
they produce this year one hundred and ten mil
lions OF pounds of sugar, more than half the con-
sumption OF all France. They assert that the
smallest reduction of the duty on colonial sugar
would rum the manufacture of the beet root
sugar.
1t Is impossible to foresee which party will be
VICTOR IN lhs controversy. 1t is very plain, how
ever that, IN the lapse of very few years, the
rIehch colonies Will be in the same condition in
reference TO slavery that the English colonies now
are "hlch Will decide the question in favor of the
