Mosr HORRIBLE MURDER AND SulcIDE.-Lyme
c., July 28.-Our community was much agiatcd
yesterday and today by awful occurrence here.
AtweH Tucker, one of the residents, yesterday
morning purchased at Warren's store three pnts
of rum, which he drank in the course of the FORE
noon. In the afternoon he met old DIR, Noyes,
with whom ne had previously QUARREL and iol-
lowed him for more than mile, threatening to
shot him.-The Doctor finally escaped and Ftooa
out a warrant for the apprehension of Tucker, and
put it into the hands Of Huntey, the constable,
who Immediately proceeded to serve il. t
A short distance from the village he saw Tucker
in field the road. He alighted from his
wagon, and proceeded toward the culprit, who
fred and shot him through the bowels, inHiciing a
wound SO serious that the unfortunate man lived
but about fifteen minutes. He has left wife and
FIVE children entirely dependent upon him. He
parted from his wife in full health half an hour
befor the occurrence, and the first information
which she had of il was when he was brought
home bleeding corpse.
A guard was placed around fuckers house last
night This morning he was tracked inio the
woods, and it was ascertnned that he was conceal

CESSATION OF HosTILITIEs.

With but few exceptions land these among
the ultra presses on both sdes) the war against
the administration has, in a great measure,
ceased. We are glad Of this, and should be
truly rejoiced if we were never TO have occa-
sion 10 write another bitter word against any
party and we have resolved henceforth not to
do it if it can possibly be avoided. We desire
that all men, be their political opinions what
they may, should enjoy peace and prosperity
and such, we have the authority TO say, is the
'fervent wish Of the President
Having, as we believe, successfully defended
the acts OF the administration, SO far, against
the offensive charges made by evil disposed
men, until the time arrived when the Heads OF
tie Government We're TO speak for themselves
in their annual Messages and those documents
having developed a policy that has met the
entire concurrence of the country, we may now
enjoy a grateful respite from the grating strife
that has so agitated the press. We entertain
no i'll will for either of the great parties that
have so long divided the People. We esteem
them all as freemen, as native citizens of our
glorious country, and will freely unite with them
in any measure HAVING for its ohjectthc general
good We have no desire erer 10 renew the
conflict, and it shall not be our fault if we ever
do. We knon that Mr.. Tyler would rather be
the President Of the coultry-of the PEopLE--
than to be the mere head Of PARTY. He
would prefer TO be the Instrument of good to
ALL-at the cost of any sacrifice to sELr-than
to be the triumphant leader of any faction, how
ever large, when another class Of his fellow
citizens would have to suffer from defeat or
neglect.
The country wants rcpose. Nothing of last
ing benefit can be gained by eternal political
warfare. LET Us HAVE PEACE God, then,
will give US prosperity.

"EXCHEoUER or THE U. STATES
THE REroRT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE TREA
suRY, WITH 4 DRAFT ORA Bill.

| TIE REroRT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE TREA-
suRY, WITH 4 DRAFT ORA Bill.
/ The plan for a Treasury AGENcY recommend
ed in the Presidents Message, and called for BY
resolution Of Congress, is now submitted, in
pursuance of that resolution, by the Secretary
Of the Treasury, accompanied by report expla-
natory of the Bill.
We would first call the attention Of the public
to a candid consideration Of the Report, which
will best enable them to comprehend the provi-
sons and operation Of the Exchequer and TO APP
preciate the difficulties that surround the sub
ject, and the ability that has successfully sur
mounted them.
Above all, we wish the reader to be imbued
with the spirit Of the Report; and should he
fai to be convinced by its arguments, he could
not fail to be edited and enlightened by its pa
triotism. To convince all, uanscends human
ability yet to accomplish any thing on this sub
ject is almost miracle.
| We shall not pretend to give, at this time, but
a very brief, and perhaps imperfect, outline OF
the Report or the Bill which accompanies it
for we are satisfied, that nothing short Of atten-
lively reading and thoroughly understanding
both, will satisfy any one, who takes the least
interest in the subject
The Report, we are given to understand, is o
general exposition Of the views entertained by
the President on the subject of the Exchequer
and concurred in by his Cabinet.
The necessity of a National currency i,
dwet upon-lhe safety of the public treasures
considered but the 'sgreat want of the country
-"confdence in the steadiness and stability o
the policy of the Government"
The difficulty of obtaining Government loan
is alluded to; and Bank considered as out 0
the question.
The provisions of the Bill IRE next consider
ed, which has in view,-t The safe keeping o
the public moneys I'd. Furnishing the Govern
mcnt and the people with paper currency equi
valent to gold and silver Sd. Provision 70
furnishing medium of Commercial Exchange
safe and cheap.
The provisions of The Bill are fully expanc
under these separate heads But we shall no
attempt to follow the Secretary through all hi
views and arguments, for no analysis could d
them justice
In reference to the safe keeping Of the publ
money, we cannot forbear TO quote a sentenc
from the Report, TOO opposite and emphatic I
be passed over;
"The People have right to be as safe as goo
| laws and n faithful administration can make then
against both waste and loss. II was remprk of th
Last atral hxg re tyHll

ice tends TO create charge upon the People

any officer or clerk of It's Agencies, converting
10 their own use, any money security deposit

conviction shall be sentenced 10 Imprisonment

marks upon ii.
