Let us suppose that there were no banks in
existence-that the foul blot which a servile
imitation of English policy has impressed
upon our state constitutions was wiped off
what other system than this could be adopted
by which to keep the public revenue? What
other system did England have to effect the
same object previous to 1894, when her go
vernmcnt made an unholy alliance with the
banking interest? Every unprejudiced mind
will see in a moment that the scheme pro-
posed by Mr.. Van Buren,, is the natural
mode by which any government would con-
duct its fiscal operations-and that the EN-
ployment Of irresponsible corporations to
perform this office is an artificial and unnatu-
raj state of things. We have our paymas-
tiers in the army and navy-we always have
had. and must contin.e to have receivers at
our land offices, and collectors of customs
who perform the same character of duties as
it is proposed the treasurers at the mint and
the receivers general shall perform, and why
not carry out the whole plan without any 9th
er agents than those responsible to the peo-
pie and the laws?
In my next, | shall present the history of
this scheme, and endcavor to show that it is
what Mr.. Jefferson desired to see in opera
ton, and tia. in the first organization of the
government it WAS i'll operation with the

This new gigantic power has very lately
arrived; and, although the distances as well
as difficulties we have to contend with have,
during the last three centuries, greatly in
creased, yet most true it is that we are at
this moment more competent than ever we
were before the discovery of America to
contend with the dangers which assall rs by
land and sea. In truth, we have attained
more power than at the present moment we
have courage to WELD; and, instead OF be-
ing alarmed at the distance which separate
us from remote nations, we actually tremble
at the means we possess OF approaching
them, through the sudden subjugation of ele-
ments which have hitherto proverbially been
invincible. Time and tide once waited for

correspondent of the Quincy Wing fur
nishes that paper with the following particu-
lars OF a robbery committed IN Illinois:
AupAcloUs RoRnERY.-One of the most
outrageous robberics ever known in this
State, was committed in the vicinity of Bar
nv. Pike county, Illinois, on Saturday last, the
10Th, on the person of Charles Scott, of that
place. Mr.. Scott having sold out his prop
erty, (of stores,) and receiving cash TO the
amount of four thousand dollars, he was on
his way to Pittslield to pay his creditors
Ii was within about two miles OF his resi-
dencc, that he was attacked by two r%uffians,
who presented two pistols and demanded his
money, at the same time repeating, that 1t
he rave any alarm or made the least resist
aare, they would blow out his brains.
These scoundrels were dressed in disguise,
both having their faces colored; therefore it
is impossible to describe them. The place of
the robbery, was a very secluded spot, about
eight o'clock in the morning. The money
was Illinois, of the denomination Of 30 and
100 dollar bills.
Printers throughout Illinois and Missouri,
are requested to notice the above.

honrs after his departure, putting and blowing like old

expected to be made arc, that the crew were badly
paid, and they determined to pay themselves.

ARREST OF Ma. LEWIS IN PARrs.-Galig-
nanis (Paris) Messenger contains the fol-
lowing paragraph, announcing the arrest Of
Hosea Lewis, late Cashier of the Schuylkill
Bank at Philadelphia:
"The Project Of police having been Off
cially informed, on Monday last, that a per-
son named Hosea John Lewis, the Cashier of
the banking house Of Messrs. SchuykiH, at
Philadelphia. had absconded from the United
States with more than four millions Of francs,
and was supposed to have proceeded to Par
is, gave such instructions for tracing him that
he was arrested on Tuesday, at No. 8, in the
Rue Feydeau. where he had just arrived from
Bordeaux, and was living in a small apart
mcnt, with every appearance Of parsimony,
in order, as it is conjectured, to avoid suspi.
cion. The greater part Of the stolen proper
ty, and a large quantity Of account books
and papers, were found in his possession
The prisoner was Immediately taken to the
depot of the prefecture, and information
was sent to the American embassy"

NEwspApEns.-The celebrated writer, "Ju-
MUS thus speaks of newspapers:
"Thcy who conceive our newspapers are
no restraint upon bad men,, or impeachment
10 the execution of bad measures, know
nothing Of this country. Our ministers and
magistrates have really little punishment TO
contend with beyond the ccnsnre OF the
press and the spirit of resistance it excites
among the people. While this s%ensorial pow
err IS maintained, to speak in the words Of a
most ingenious foreigner, both minister and
magistrates are compelled in almost every
instance to choose between his duty and his
reputation. A dilemma Of this kind per-
petuaIly before him, will not indeed work
miracles on his heart, but will assuredly ope-
rate in some degree upon his conduct"

The CESsUs.-The Deputy Marshal for this coun-
ty has requested us to call the attention Of the pub
lie to the new mode of taking the Census. The ar
ticle which we copy from the Western Atlas, will
supersede the necessity Of the undertaking on our
part. We understand that some of the wiseacres
and knowing ones not a hundred miles from here, are
poisoning the minds Of their ~neighbors against the
~propriety Of their answering the intenogatories to be
propounded, and among the reasons for not disclo-
sing the condition Of their private affairs, il is urged
that the object of the government is to obtain iniorma-
ton BY which it may impose additional taxes upon the
people. We suggest that the discovercr Of the 90 hid
den mystery" be pre-. cnted with a leather medal for
his wonderful sagacity and excessive love for the dear
people. We should not have alluded to this silly at
temp I to prejudice the public mind, but for the fact,
that we desire TO see no imPediments thrown in the
way OF the officers performing the duty assigned to
them with sati. faction 10 the government, and profit
to the country. 1t is not the intention Of the law
that the marshals shall publish from the house-tops
the condition Of every mans private affairs. On the
publicity to the results Of his queries as possible
We hope that every Citizen will give his aid in ena-
bling the government TO obtain an accurate statement
of the resources of our state. II the plan proposed,
be carried out, a vasi amount Of important aud valu-
able information will be obtained, which may be pro-

press their thoughts within fewer words, otherwise
we shall be under the necessity of excluding their
communications altogether, or 'curtailing their fair
