My MOTHER DEAR.
There was a place in CHILDHOOD that / remember
well,
And there a voice of sweetest tone bright fairy tales
did tell,
And gentle words and fond embrace were given
with JOY TO me,
When ! was in that happy place,-upOn my mo
theirs knee.
When fairy tales were ended, GOOD night" she
softly said.
And kiss'd and laid me down to sleep, within my
tiny bed;
And holy words she taught me there-methinks l
yet can see
Her angel eyes, as close knelt beside my mothers
knee.
In the sickness of my childhood; the perils of my
prime;
The sorrows of my ripper years; the cares of ev'ry
time;
When doubt and danger weighed me down-then
plead .ng all for me,
It was a ferven, prayer to Heaven that bent my mo-
theirs knee.

From the National lnteiligencer.
THE ANNUAL TREASURY REPORT.
IN CONCLUSION

Resuming the examination OF the anti
utilitarian doctrines OF the Treasury Re-
port, (echoing the Presidents Messagc,)
we maintain that they are against the
spirit of the Constitution and against all
fair construction of its provisions and
we proceed to show, by further ~ilIustra.
lions, that they are equally against the
sense Of the leading statesmen Of the pre-
sent age, as they are against the eco
ded opinions Of the generation that has
passed away.
Before the Administration descended
from the hands Of MIR. JEFFERSON into
those Of Mr.. MADISON, the effects of the
Embargo, and Non-interconrse policy,
intended to act upon foreign Powers, had
sensibly reacted upon our W Treasury,
by producing a great reduction Of imports,
and, of course, lessening the amount OF
duties upon them.
This state of things, unfavorable to any
action on the part of the Government in
the way Of appropriations of money to OBJ.
jects of general utility or intellectual ad.
vancement, did, not, however, prevent
Mr.. MADISON from recognising, in his In
augural Address (l609) as being among
the primary duties Of the Government,
the entire class of powers now renowned
by the Executive, viz the duty "to pro-
mote, by authorized means, improvements
friendly to agriculture, TO MANUFACTURES,
and TO external as well as internal com.
merce i; 10 favor, in like manner, The adj
rancement Of science, and the diffusion Of
information as the best aliment TO true
liberty"
From the date Of the delivery Of this
Address, up TO the end of the sixth year
| of the service Of Mr.. MADISON, there was
not a moment Mt which a dollar could BE-
spared from the pressing demands upon
the Treasury, arising from the disturbed
state of our foreign relations, TO purposes
Of internal improvement. All the sour
ces and all the energies of the Govern.
ment were engaged in military and naval
preparations and operations.
But, in the very Message in which Pre-
sident MADISON communicated to Con.
gress the glad tidings of peace between
the United States and Great Britain, he
seized the earliest possible opportunity to
solemnly recommend to Congress one oil
those objects which the new-light school
of politicians have discovered to be be-
yonG the constitutional power ofCungress.
"There is no subject" said he, "thai
can enter with greater force and merit
into the deliberations Of Congress than a
consideration Of the means to preserrt
RI [protectl and promote the MANUFACTURES
which nave sprung into existence, &c
This source Of national independence ant
wealth | anxiously recommend, therefore
to the prompt and constant guardianship
of Congress"

Correspondence of the National InleiIigencer.
New York, JAN. ID.

W. 4OAh SAHs
According TO letters and reports from
Canton, China, to us, is 500 to be an ex-
citing part of the globe. There is now
but little doubt that JOHN BULL intends
to redress his grievances there by arms,
and when John thus redresses a grievance
with his interiors in lorce, he commonly
so redresses it that the inferior has but
little left. That alarming Anglo-Empire
which is overshadowing the East, and
knocking, in its magnitude, as paltry, the
victories Of Greek or Roman, exhibits
signs of a significant stretch toward the
Imperial City-the mistaken empire OF
unnumbered centuries-which, it seems
to me, is as easily fitted for the yoke
ms the already subjugated nations of the
East.
And IS not France playing fantastic
freaks with commerce, and in politics, IN
| South America? The last reports we
have from Montevideo are, that FIVE hun
dred French sailors are defending tile
capital of the Oriental Republic, over
which France has put Gen. RIVERA az
President, and also Of further strides o
French intrigues, if not arms, toward eli
fecting n revolution in the Argentine Re
public, by the suhjogation of the Provin
ces of Entire Rios and C~orrientes.
1t is remarkable that while by peaceful
