TO THE PUBLIC.

A communication, in the last number
of the Creole, over the signature of. II.
McBlair, deserves notice from me-not
on account of any weight or consi dera-
ton it may receive from even so respec-
table signature as is subscribed TO it
but from the apprehension that silence on
my part would be construed into an adj
mission of the truth of the charges there
in contained and call down upon my name
the severest censure of the public. 1t is
an old saying, that those who live in
glass houses should not throw stones; and
might, perhaps, recriminate and show
that this dutJMl protector of the public is
no moral Achilles,-that his houst is
made Of glass. But although his unjus
tifable and malicious attack upon my
character may merit such a course at my
hands, | will not adopt it; but, &C ting IN
der the belief that ''truth is great ant
will prevail" will submit to the public
plain statement of the real facts ofth,
case.
He charges me with having SHIELD up
an execution which came to my hand:

The silver coinage at the New Or
leans Mint, from the 1st November to 1st
April, was 100000 dimes, and 10000
half dimes, amounting to $95,5OO The
coinage in the month of May was 215,-
600 dimes, and 10000 half dimes, equal
to $4,000. This does not comprise the
whole workings of the mint, as there has
been considerable coinage of gold and
silver oflarger denominations.

MS astonishing youth was well known
Tor MS wonderful powers of calculation.
rom his earliest boyhood he manifested
the greatest ability in numbers; and the
most complex questions were given as
soon soon as those questions were propounded
he was, at times, as keen at repartee, as
ne was prompt at calculation. While in

ing him questions with the design of
showing off her wit at his expense

THE CONTRADICTORY COUPLE.

spoon out of his glass and tossing it on the
table, " that of all the obstinate, positive,
wrong-headed creatures that ever were
born, you are the most so, Charlotte.
Certainly, certainly, have it your own
way, pray. You see how much contra
dict you," rejoins the lady.
"Of course, you didn't contradict me
at dinner-time: oh, no, not you'll says the
gentleman.
Eyes, did," says the lady.
"Oh, you did," cries the gentleman;
" you admit that?''
if you call that contradiction. | do. y
the lady answers: " and say again, Ed
ward, that when you are wrong | will
contradict you; am not your slave"
"Notmy slaven' repeats the gentle
man bitterly; +" and you still mean that
in Blackburn new house there are not
more than fourteen doors, including tn c
door Of the wine cellar!'
81 mean to say" retorts the lady
beating time with her hair-brush on the
palm of her hand, "that in that house
there are fourteen doors, and no more"
" Well, them" cries the gentleman, ri
sing in despair, and pacing the room with
rapid strides, this is enough to destroy
mans intellect and drive him mad"
By and bye the gentleman comes to G
little and passing his hand across hi:
forehead, finally reseats himself in hi:
former chair. There is long silence
and this time the lady begins.

next to me on the sofa, in the drawing
room during tea"
"Morgan, you mean," interrupts the
gentleman.
81 do not mean any thing ofthe kind,
answers the lady.
"Now, by all that is aggravating and
impossible to bear!" cries the gentleman
clenching his hands and looking upwar,
in agony" she is going to insist upon
that Morgan is Jenkinsr'
"Do you take me to be perfect fool! !
exclaims the lady; edo you suppose
don't know one from the other? Do yol
suppose that don't know the man wit
the blue coat was Mr.. Jenkins?"
"Jenkins in blue coat!" cries the gen
tleman with a groan; "Jenkins in blu
coat! man who would suffer death rath
er than wear any thing but brownn'
"Do you dare to charge me with tell
ing an untruth p demands the lady, burst
ing into tears.

the district of Vermont. At the outse, the two
prominent candidates for this office were Mr..

THE EXTRA SESsION-WHA WILL BE
DONE?

Probably the following important questions will
demand the attention of the new Congress:
LIST. The repeal of the Sub-Treasury Law
81 The imposition of tariff of duties stuff =
cient to meet the expenses of the General Gov
eminent.
81. The adoption ofa plan for The distribution
OF The proceeds of the Public Lands.
4h. The adoption of some plan or system for
the safe keeping Of The Pulc Moneys.
As TO the last point, we may remark, that there
may I've. and probably will he, three parties, among
those who nre opposed 10 the sub-treasury, viz:
lsr. Those who are in favor OF a National
Bank of some SORT.
81. Those who are in favor OF using The state
banks rs fiscal agents of the government.
Sd. Those who are in iover Of repeating the
hard money feature of the sub-treasury system
mud retaining die rest of The schcme, with some
notifications.
In these questions, together with the state o
foreign affairs, there is matter enough 10 make q
session of Congress equal in imporance 10 any
RbicI has eyer been holden.

"OId Tip wants about six thousand dollars fol

Well, Mr. Eastman, you hive unwittngy hit
The nail upon the head. The last thing that we
sl'o''kl dream of, was n robbery of The White
House, such as you have ironically described but
we are now forced to believe it. The robbery has
been actually perpetruted; we do not say by Mr.
Van Buren,, or with his knowledge, for that re.
mains 10 be seem but by somebody. We have
good authority for saying this: when Col Cham
bers entered the white house on the morning of
lyhe 9TH, TO see that il was in readiness for The new
President, he found that every thing left was in the
greatest confusion, ard that much had actually
beer carried away. An exposition will probably
I've made ere long. We congratulate the Age that
il ns for once come 30 near the truth II is AN era
in This Age.
