PUBLIC DEBT.

Mr.. Sergeant Puts The saddle upon the right
horse in the discussion Of the right public debt.
There never was a more arrant piece oil humbug-
gery. than that which the Eocos have attempted
10 play eff among the people, respecting the de
felt in the Treasury.-They by an UaexaEIpled
prodigality. created the de5i-and because the
Wings have brought the fact TO light, and, like
honest men, are trying to provide the means Of
payment, they are charged with the creation OF
The debt. This is y pitch Of impudence, to which
nothing but the brass Of Locctocolsm Is e.
quail.
The public debt is undenied and undeniable-
and the only question is, what Is the best mode
of dIsctarging il: BY a direct and open loan 3
or by a disguised and covert one, IN the shape
of Treasury notes? Looking TO mere parry
policy, we do not doubt but that 1t would be
most expedient to adopt the latter. BY this
means, the expenditures Of the Government
might be concealed from the people. and the
Administration might be as wasteiul as 1t
pleased. without sublecting itself 10 censure. But
the other is the nobler and the manlier course.
1t m eets the difficulty face to fare. 1t disguisrs
nothing. 1t enables the people to see the state
of their finances, and to observe the operations
of tEeir agents. 1t is also said 10 be the cheaper
mode of the two. Whilst Treasury notes cost
from 6 to 7 per cent. interest, and a regular loan
NAV be negotiated at 5 per cent. This IS a con-
sideration not 10 be disregarded-but it is Sc
condary TO the other. In a Republic like ours,
there should be no confusion, mystery or mis-
LITIGATION in financial aIrangements-by which
the Many may be plundered by the Few, with
impunity.

lates to the arrest and imprisonment, in the
dungeons of Rome, of an American citizen.
To the Hon. Daniel Webster, Sec. of State:
SIR| hasten to make known to the
government of the United States of America
a fact Of a serious character, and highly inter-
esting to the national dignity of the country.
The Bishop of Detroit, Michigan, is confined
in a dungeon of Rome, without communica-
ton with any living person., and consequently
without the knowledge of the American min
lister resident there target for the blacklist
calumnies, and a victim of the most atrocious
prosecutions from his colleagues here in reli-
gious matters. He was summoned to Rome
towards the end of 1888, if | am not mistaken,
and in 1889, when | made his acquaintance,
ne was confined in a convent under an eccle-
s~iastical prosecution. On the process being
completed, he was ordered to resign. This he
refused to do; and then he was thrown into a
dungeon, perhaps of the Inquisition, where
three other Bishops are lying. There he is
overwhelmed with sufferings, and tortured to
oblige him to resign, and all possible measures
were taken to prevent him from invoking the
protection of the diplomatic agents of his W
country. A similar case had happened to the
Bishop of Philadelphia, Mr. Cornwell. But
this prelate, whilst in the same position Of Mr..
REESE, was fortunate enough to make his eS-
cape from Rome and, arrested in Paris, un-
der Charles the Xth, by order of the Pope,
was set at liberty through the intervention of
the American Minister.
Thinking that the Government of the Uni
ted States are to look upon their citizens un-
der no religious aspect, but merely as free cit
liens of this Union, l could scarcely believe
but that, in consequence of this disclosure,
ready and eficacious steps will be taken to
cause the Papal Government to be called to
account for such a scandalous abuse of its
spiritual power. l have the honor to be,
Your most obedient servant,

SPEAK til, 0F M MAN,

There are many persons i'll the world who
are in the habit of speaking lightly or con-
temptuously oftheir neighbors, and some who
do not scruple to treat those who are absent
with the greatest disrespect, by showing up
their faults to those who are present, without
ever abiding to any good qualities they pos
sess. There is nothing so detestable as this
habit of backbting in society; ii often produ-
ces the greatest bitterness of feeling between
those who ought to live in peace and good
fellowship towards each other, and it never
does any good. 1t generally arises from a
selfish feeling, but sometimes from thought
lessness in either case it is injurious to So
ciety, and ought to be condemned by every
well meaning and sensible person. Selfish
persons have generally such an appreciation
OF themselves, and the situation they mold III
society, they are apt to speak of others with
contempt, and are even happy when they dis
cover the least fault however trivial itmay be,
in some of their neighbors or acquaintance
| Instead of which, it would be as well for then
to examine their own conduct, to see whethe
| they are without fault, and ask theihselve
whether they would like any fault or foibl'
they might be guilty of to be the subject o
conversation among their neighbors.

THE SPRING-TIM OF THE HEART.


BY sKETCuER.
When childhood's downy track we tread,
And pleasures sun is high,
When hours with fairy footsteps glide
In silence lightly by;
When sorrow from our joy-lit eye
Doth fail the tear to start,
Then, then doth reign the season fair,
The spring-,ime of the heart.
'Tis then that daughters merry peals
DO speak of spirits light,
And cen our dreaming hours wear
An aspect pure and bright;
ALPS daylight then, no night eve knows,
Whence darksoihe shadows start,
For oh! tits fraught with blisstulness,
The spring-time of the heart!
The by-past chronicles of life
Doth show no fairer time,
Than when we revelledin the joys
Uf childhood's sunny prime;
When worldly cares, and sorrows keen,
Formed of our shares no part,
In the bright hey-day Of our youth,
The spring-lime ofthe heart.
We oft times turn with fearful eyes
Unto those happy hours,
When thro' the world our pathway seem'd
A pathway strewn with tlow'rs,
And purely forth our feelings gushed,
Free from all guile and art,
In that most halcyon time of times,
The spring-time of the heart!
