 anxiety, but still nd iant with hope. It ueed not be disguised that there are obstacles to surmount, clashing views to harmonlze', pre- 1 judices to soften, and sectional interests and feelings to respect and conciliate. All this is the work of time aud effort. Those who imagine that the identical measures that they would prefer, and in the exact Shape they de- sire, ought to be rushed through Congress in month will of course be disappointed, and those of more sober thought and moderate expectations will not be. A National Bank will almost certainly be established, and pro- ba5ly on basis of compromise between the plans of Secretary Ewing and MT. Clay.
 A Distribution of the Proceeds ot future Sales of Public Lands among the States, will almost certainly be effected. Tax on For eign Luxuries and Free Goods, generally I will probably be imposed, to restore our di Vapidated Treasury and mean time, small loan for few years will be effected to pay off the Treasury Notes and other debts left by the late administration. instead ot disre- putabiy shining from day to day. the Go- vernment has done for the last tbur years- 1 So much, we feel confident will be done, but 1 it cannot be done off.hand. To say that measure ought to be adopted is easy to draw and perfect bill, settle defects, and obviate objections, and carry it through in the face of a relentless opposition. Is no holi- day undertaking.
 Things move slowly on, but they move in the right direction. The Sun and other loco loco journals, which first cried out against the Uaste of time, have since changed their tunc and now bemoan the reckless haste with which important measures are passed. They may change again when they are tired of this.-N. Y. Tribune.
 DELIR1UM TREMENs.-Thisi is amost fright. full malady consequent upon the abuse oi vinous and spurious drinks. It has recently been carefully traced and minutely delinea- ted by some of the most eminent medical men of this day, and is said to bear with it train of symptoms more melancholy than even hydrophohia. Some time previously to the development Cf the worst features of this disorder, there are observed weakness, languor and cancellation. There Is no appe- tite for either breakfast or dinner; there is peculiar slowness of the pulse, coldness ot the hands and feet; cold moisture over the whole surface of the body cramps in the muscles of the extremities giddiness, nau sea, vomiting. To these signs succeed q nervous tremor of the head, and likewise of the tongue; the spirits become deiected, melancholy feeling pervades. the mind. the sleep is short and interrupted; this may con- stitute the first stage. After this second comes on, attended with the highest degree of nervous irritations mental alienation Is it's marked feature. There, is great restless ness, a constant excitement, objects of the most frghlful nature are present to the ima- gination, the eye acquires a most striking wildness, the individual cannot lie down, he fears suffocation, he talks sincQhcrently, he l fancies he sees faces of extreme hideousness NhkN1,k nfklN | snirncy against him. One medical writer, who has very ably discussed the subject, wit messed very distressing incident of a pa- tient, who, for a considerable time before his death, imagined he saw the devil at the ceil- | ing above his bed, and as the disease, which terminated fatally, increased, he fancied the 1 evil spirit approached him with a knife 10 cut his throat, and he actually expired making violent efforts to avoid the fatal instrument. ~.

 The Intelligencer of Monday, gives the | following evidence of insanity:
 | A New aud UneTpecfed Candidate .t0r inc Presidency-On Saturday last man, evil dently disordered in his upper story, present. cd himself at the White House, and with much vehemcnce, both in meaning and speech, put in his claim 10 hold the office of Chief Magistrate of the Union. The Steward of the White House, not perfectly satisfied with the validity of the claim thus unexpectedly and abruptly set forth, attempt ed, with some other persons, to eject the claimant; but the latter became so ob. streperous and violent that it was deemed prudent and necessary 10 send for police officer, who conducted the lofty aspirant be- fore Justice Morsell, who, after due exami- nation, committed the maniac to prison.- The person referred to gave in his name to the magistrate as John Henry Hanpi, of Vir- ginia. He is q German, and maintains that he is the veritable President of the United States, and will eject the present incumbent in few days, with the aid ot numerous army, &c.!
 Nerer Faller-PerSerere.- tell me- that there is a plant which thrives the most when trodden upon. plant which one oi our revolutionary heToines designated as the "rebel plant" There too is noble trait in man. which is worth all the gold in lhe world, and will if followed up, lead to honor and fame, happiness and the good ot man. kind. It is Perseverance.
 The youth who clings 10 this prize, will rise above the frowns of the world, no mat ter how poor he may have been iE the start. Without this, and the twin sister virtue, none need expect to soar above the vulgar crowd that daily throng his path. It was by perse- verance that our noble statesmen and scho. lars have risen 10 the high station they enjoy. Without wealth, and but few friends, they have cleared out their road, and now have reached the desired station. Wealth is a necessary evil, but it is poor recomrnenda- ton ,o perseverance Thousands have been deluded, whereas, on the other hand, the
