OBITUARY..

an the midst gftte zee are in death."
DIED-In the town of Homer, La Sale Co.
Ills, on the sth inst, of Consumption, Miss
l.. MARIA MANN, aged 81 years. During her
confinement, which was about six weeks, she
was not heard to complain or murmur or even
express a wish to recover. Although she bore the
most cxcruciating pain of body, yet her mind
was calm as the falling of quiet stream; gentle
as the sinking of the breeze that fingers for a
time around bed of wthercd roses, and then
dies as IT were from very sweetness.
Almighty God It's right, It's just
That earthly frames should turn 10 dust;
But, Oh forgive the wishtul tear
That would detain spirit here.
Go, gentle girl, to realms of bliss,
The Christening rod we humbly kiss;
Thy Saviour calls thee home, dear sister,
And let Ills holy will be done.
Thy earthly form now icy cold,
Was formed in bcauty's iairest' mould;
But now prepared by love divine,
A tairer, brig hter form Is thine.
Thy earthly parents loved thee well,
So much that language fails to tell;
But, Oh! our love was weak and POOR
Thy Heavenly Parent loved thee more.
Almighty God! It's right, It's just
That earthly frames should turn to dust;
But, Oh! the sweet transporting truth,
The soul shal! bloom in endless bliss.

At late meeting Of lrishmcn, in Lon
don, the great Irish relormer, O'Connell,
in replying to an article in one Of the pa
pers, which stated that O'ConneIl had
only three years more work in him
exclaimed in his most facetious manner ::
"Why the last of my generation, con-
nccted with my family who Immediately
preceded me, was 90 when he died, and
he had good work in him till he was 90,
and eleven of my grandmother's children

tCeniv-t,Uo - lived to 90. Cheers. }
think, therefore, | have reason TO reck-
on upon more than three years against
the tory scoundrels. However. if my
time be short. is not that a reason why
should work the harder? Here am
now, OH Sunday, the 9Th of March, ii
the middle of London, arguing for Ire
land, and on Sunday, the 18th, | am Il
he on the Currah of Kildare, with 100000
Irishmen. That is the way | work on
my three years-by doing more work il
week than other fellows would do in
year." (Cheers.)

"MT. VERNON, Feb. II, 1890.

"Der Sir Your favor of the 30th
ut. came duly to hand. TO give an
opinion III case Of so much importance
as that which has warmly agitated the
two branches of your legislature, and
which from the appeal tina, is made, is
likely to create great and perhaps danger
Gus divisions, is rather delicate matter
but, as this diversity Of opinion is on a
subject, which has, | believe, occupied
the minds Of most men, and as my seni-
ments thereon have been fully and deci-
dedIy expressed long before the Assembly
either in Maryland or this State, was con-
vencd, do not scruple to declare, that
If | had had a voice in your legislature, it
would have been given decidedly against
apdper emission, upon the general prn-
ciples of lis utility as a representative and
the necessity of ii as a medium.
40 assign reasons for this opinion,
would be as unnecessary as tedious. The
ground has been so often trod, that a
place hardly remains untouched. In a
word, the necessity arising from a want
Of specie is represented us greater than
it really is. | contend that it is by the
substance, not with the shadow Of a thing,
we are to be beneitted.-The wisdom Of
man, in my humble opinion, cannot at
this time devise plan by which the Gre
dit of paper money would be long sup
ported; consequently depreciation keeps
pace with the quantity Of the emission,
and articles for which it is exchanged rise
in a greater ratio than the sinking value
of the money. Wherein, then, is the
Farmer, the Planter, the .3yfizon, bcnc-
fitted The debtor may be, because, as
have observed, he gives the shadow in
lieu of the substance, End in proportion
to his gain, the credit or the body polite
suffers. Whether it be legal tender or
not, it will, as has been observed very
truly, leave no alternative. 1t must be
that or nothing. An evil equally great
is, the door it Immediately opens for spc-
cuIalion, by which the least designing,
and perhaps most valuable part of the
community, are prcycd upon by more
knowing and crafty spectators.
"BUl contrary TO my intention and dec
laraion, am offering reasons in support
Of my opinion; reasons too, which Of all
others are least pleasing to the advocate
for paper money. ] shall therefore only
observe generally, that so many people
have suffered by former emissions, that
like burnt child who breads the fire, no
person will touch it who can possibly
avoid it. The natural consequence oi
which will be, that the specie, which re.
mains unsupported, will be instantly lock
ed up.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
We this week lay before our readers,
the Message of President Tyler, to the
Congress of the United States, now assem-
hled in extra Session.
The whole nation has contemplated
with the most intense interest lhs emma
nation from the new administration at
whose hands they have been taught to eX.
pect so much; and every pulse beats high
with anxiety, to see what great and salu-
tary measures have been recommended,
from which so many national blessings
are to flow, as were promised by the lead.
ing men of the present dominant party
Reader, if you can discover in The whole
context Of this may State paper, any
positive recommendation of specific
measure touching matters Of paramount
importance to the country, you possess a
degree of acumen to which we make no
claim. From the perusal we have been
able 10 bestow upon it, we are inclined to
regard it as the most meagre and uninteli-
gible public document that has ever emma
ted from the Chief Executive ofthe nation.
Those parts Oft which relate to subjects
Of the greatest moment TO the natior, and
especially that part winch relates to the
creation Of fiscal agent for The Govern.
ment seems TO be characterized by stu
died obscurily which throws all response.
bilty on the legislative department; and
which, while it shield the Executive from
whatever censure may attach TO the meas.
ures adopted by Congress, does not ex-
cIude him from participation in the praises
they may elicit. lie doubtless finds il
a difficult task to reconcile the favorie
measures ofhis present co-wokers in poll
tics with the principles he has been won't
to advocate; whence no doubt, arises the
great want Of clearuess in the message.
The Message recommends the estab.
lIshment Of suitable fiscal agent, 4" ca.
pable of adding increased facilities in the
collection and disbursement Of the public
revenue" And although it informs us
that a National Bank, the State Banks, &
the Independent Treasury system, have
each, as fiscal agents, received the con
demnation of the people, it gives no clue
by which to ascertain what would, in the
estimation Of the President, constitute a
suitable fiscal agent. This is left entirely
10 Congress-, with the pledge that the
President will concur in any measure
which does not, in his estimation, conflict
with the Constitution. This leaves US
perfectly in the dark, as to whether the
President will, or will not, sanction the
establishment Of National Bank. The
cunning old fox leaves ample room for
lodging.
The only clear and direct recommend
atoms we recollect to have noticed in the
Message, were the indemniicaton of the
private fortune Of the late deceased Presi-
dent, against all loss by reason Of the ne
cessary expenses incurred in preparing for
his residence at the seat of Government
and the establishment Of some suitable
measure TO check the unlimited creation Of
banks by the States We have not space
TO say more of the Message now; but will
resume it anon.
