and employment Of blood hounds and their
keepers (lf foreign keepers have been EN-

This is the voice Of Gods mercy to the
living, coming up from those waters l'l
up by the fires of death. There never
was a calamity so fatal, which to the eye
of man seemed so needless and SO inn
probable never one where the means
of relief from within themselves or RI sc ue
from without so promising and yet
every hope was blasted, every exPedienl
was lruilless, and death closed the har-
rowing scene. 1t is often the case that
God leaves man to the sympathies OF
home, and the soothing kindnesses OF al
fection ; but often, MS here, he visits him
in The midst Of his strength, with all the
appurte Of safety about him -
yes, in the midst Of his triumphs over
nature, where he was imprisoned the
fire, and made the air and the water,
and the rugged iron, toll for him like
hondmen-in the very supremacy OF hIs
dominion over the elements, The hand OF
God is upon him, and he dies. No
miracle aiests the present God. The
fire, and the waters and the air, retain
their nature AMI acting each in con-
formiiy with unvarying laws, they ac
complish the purposes Of God, and man
finds his wisdom foolishness, and his
strength hel lpIessness. There is no
safety in human devices.
"And when the out cry rang through
that ill-iated boat, that death threatened
them in Il form appalling to humanity,
how soon were the distinctions of society
annulled Poverty stood side by side
with the wealth, knowledge with 'gnor'

life worth the having, concentrcd in tha,
hour but all that made life desirable,
could not make the cup to pass from
them, which wruDg the lie from out their

and appropriate sermon, and we have
been thus liberal in our extracts, be-
cause we know that these expressions of

|. The time is near at hand, when a call
will be made on Congress by the Exc
cutive, for new grant of power to is
sue either Treasury Notes, or some
rther Bills of Credit. This course,
besides being progressive part of the
'ub-Treasury scheme, (in other words
a Government Bank is highly neces-
sary to the Administration on many ac-
counts. The time which will intervene
between the passage Of the Sub-Trea-
snry Bill and the choice of Electors for

the present state of the Treasury, 10

considerable extent, without this auxil-

upon the country by the administration,

election, cause the whig party, FOR
