that by different State laws all vessels of seventy
tons burden were compelled either to take pilots on
board and pay them, or in case of refusal to pay
them at least half pilo,age that This onerous on

CALLS FOR INFORMATION.

The Globe, a few days since, enumerated the calls
for information that had been made on the Treasury
Department the present session Of Congress, and
talked OF its requiring than one +" Hercules" TO
answer them all. We will venture to assert that Sc
nator Benton has made greater number Of calls on
the Treasury Depar ment, than any other ten mem
bers OF both Houses principally in relation 10 the
import and export Of gold and silver; mint opera
tons; bank mites; currency exchanges; mode of
keeping the public money in use in foreign king
doms &c, all connected with the c1clusire hard mo-
neg and ubtreasury humbugs.
But why does the Treasury Department complain
Of those other calls for information Because they
go ito expose its own NAL administrations because they
go give light to the people by placing facts before
them; because they furnish the evidence which goes
to condemn the very public agents who thus com
PEELED to give il and because they furnish the means
efccually to combat the misrepresentation of the
Globe and its affiliated presses.
Fit is a hercuean task 10 answer all the calls that
are made on the Treasury Department, is. it not
owing to the ,mbeciiiiy with which it has been con-
ducled hat such wide field has been afforded for
making those calls

SENATOR Upton, OF INDIANA.

We are sorry to learn that this worthy Senator has
been under the necessity of returning TO his home SO
that it is probable as his term expires on the 4h Of
March next, the country will not any longer enjoy
the benefits of his valuable services in the Senate OF
the United States Mr.. Upton was friend and
supporter Of the last Administration and has gener
ally been considered as also friend and supporter
of the present one. He has, however, never been
sub,ervient instrument Of Executive power. He has
always acted upon the noble principle of Mr.. Rves
and never forgo that he had country TO serre as
well as a party 10 Obey" He has manifested the
fearless independence and stern integrity of true
a thriving, industrious, and honest constituency. His
experience in, and knowledge of Indian affairs, rem
dered his counsel and aid OF great v,lue in those
branches of The public service which were in any
way connected with the Indians, and was therefore,
an important member Of the Committee on Indian
Affairs. He was also Chairman Of the Committee on
Roads and Canals, and member of two other CON-
mitteeS all of which, will sensrbly experience the
loss of his notable perseverance, industry and saga
! city. '.... ..
The history of his public career furnishes many
an earnest, that however tempting the inducements
to remain in retirement among those in whose favor
he is so strong, he will never hesitate when public
duty calls, nor be found wanting when he engages
in its performance in those requisites Of independ
ence and patriotism which, although they weigh as
nothing with This administration, the highest
ornaments Of republican statesman, and most sure
to win the approx ltion of faithful people.
