An opoR OF NATIoNALITY."-M

Gan DOOR OF NATIONALITY. - Mr..
Webster, in his speech to the merchants
and bankers from the steps of the New
York Exchange, in September last, had
the efirontery to tell his audience that al
though their banks in Wall street paid
specie, and the u. S. Bank did not, yet
that the bills of the latter, on the frontiers
of Arkansas or Missouri, were better than
those of New York: And he adds the
.'currency which is at premium here in
New York, is not there equal to that of
the bank of the U. States, and the latter is
preferred because there is an odor of ma.
iionality about it, which clings to it, hangs
around it, and will be there in spite Of all
the wire drawn theories that ever were
set ahoat.'
Tie odor of twenty millions of fancy
stocks and an equal amount of political
loans, has proved all oyer.match for the
'odor Of nationality" ascribed to the bank
by Mr.. Webster. This mighty engine of
corruption, with its army OF feed orators
and pensioned presses-wi,h lis millions
expended in corrupting the elective fran
chse and in buying the support OF the rep
resenta,ives ofthe peoplc-has, notwith-
standing it efforts and its arrogance, been
prostrated, and its evil practices have been
exposed to the gaze of an abused people.
WHINE. Webster and his associates
attempt 10 give new life to the dead mon
ster, relying on its "odor of nationality"
to furnish more acceptable currency than
gold and silver or the notes of specie pay
ing banks of New York
Mr.. Biddlt intimates in one of his let
tiers, that if the bank had not resumed in
January, (aud thus exposed its rotteness)
it might have relied on its share Of the
business of the government, and in this
way been made strong by being the fiscal
agent of the governmental. Argus

A SHORT SERMON FROM a LAY PREACHER.

Text: '0wE NO MAN ANYTHING.
Keep out of debt. Avoid it as you
would war, pestilence, and famine. Shun
i as YOU would the devil. Hate it with a
perfect hatred. Abhor it with an entire
| and absolute adherence. Dig potatoes,
lay stone wall, -peddle tin ware,-do
! ny thing that Is honest and useful, rather
than run in debt. As you value comfort,
Euict, Independence, keep out of debt. As
you value good digestion, healthy appe-
tile, a placid temper, a smooth pillow,
sweei sleep, pleasant dreams and happy
Eakngs, keep out of debt. Debt is the
hardest of all task-masters, the cruellest OF
l oppressors. 1t Isl mill stone about the
heck. 1t is an incubus on the heart. 1t
spreads cloud over the whole armament
Pi mans being. 1t eclipses the sun, 1t
bots ont the stars, it dims and defaces the
beautiful blue Of the sky. 1t breaks up the
harmony of nature, and turns to disso>
Rance all the voices of its melody. 1t fur
|oWs the forehead with premature wrink~
es, 1t pIucks the eye of its light, it drags
nobleness and kinglines out Of The ort
(nd bearing of man. 1t takes the soul
but of his laugh, and all stateiness and
reedom from his walk. Come not under
accursed dominion. Pass by it as you
'ouId pass by leper, or one smitten by
pc plague. Touch it not. Taste not of
lrult, for it shall turn to bitterness and
shes on your lips. Finally, we say, to
ach and to all, but we speak especially,

A CASE ALREADY If there be any
truth in statements which come to us from,
Baltimore, the federal office-holders under
the new administration are already inter
fering IN elections, are already violating
the eTccufire edict.
1t is said, that the Secretary of the Trea-
sury has caused the office-scekers in Mary
land to be informed, that no more changes
will be made in that State. until after the
election, meaning the election for members
of Congress which is soon to take place.
If this be true, it is bold violation of the
Harrison lar by one of his highest func-
tionaries.
We trust the affair will be thoroughly
investigated, and if the Secretary Of the
Treasury be guilty of a breach of the law
in such case made and provided, he will
be made to suffer the penalty forthwith.
