THE TIMES.

Mr. w. c. Johnson the gentleman who was recent
)y defeated in contest for the Gnberna,orial Chair
Of Maryland, and one If the most prominent Of the
southern wings, stated in Congress, the other day
that next year the deficiency in the U. S. Treasury
will be TWENTY MILLIONS OF DOLLARS!
ut this rate, there will be debt of $40 900 900,
Mt the close Of the term Of his Accidency, John
Tyler, or precisely the sum which the wings assert
ed was owed by the Government AT the close of Mr.
Van Buren's administration. No such debt encuu-
bered the government when the democrats left it
to make way for the economical and reforming
wings. The wings came into power protesting G.
economy and promising reform, and we are now
told by one of their leaders, and fine man too,
that by the time they have had possession of the
government for two years, they will have run
the country in debt twenty millions, in order to
keep the wheels Of government in motion. 1t may
be that some wings expected just such reform and
economy as have resulted from the " glorious
change" which took place in ls4O, but we are in
clined to think that most Of them have been disap-
pointed and that very many Of them will soon join
The democracy. We cannot see how any man
who went against Mr. Van Buren,, because his ad-
minisraion of affairs was not satisfactory, can sup
port party which has lasifed all its promises and
is laying deep and solid the foundation ertha great
est of national curses, permanent debt. Always
recollect what the wings Internationally promised,
namely, that in the event of their triumph, not on
ly should government be carried on economically
but that good lines" should immediately come
about. How has that promised been redeemed !
Are laborers receiving better wages now than they
did between 1887 and 1871! Is labor more per-
manen, and its reward greater and more certain,
than during the administration Of Mr. Van Buren,
DO men now buy cheaper and sell dearer, than
here,olore' Why, the times were never worse
than at this moment, when money is so ought
that even the ghost ola dollar is a rare visitor
We opine that most people are by this time con-
WINGED that something more is necessary to cause
national prosperity, than n mere change in public
servants, and that the wing promises are Just about
as much value as the promises to pay ot!hc banks
which are very good so long no one calls for their
redemption, but which are utterly worthless when
their redemption is Observation-Disclosures hlcn-
der.

WHAT'S REPUTATION

The doctrine ofrepudiatins State debts has been
universally denounced by the Federal press They
contend That the State Of Mississippi should be
compelled by the General Government to pay the
Bonds that were sold TO The Union Bank, but they
have failed to state that these Bonds were Illegally
obtained, and as illegally sold. This they called
'repudiaiion.' But what is reputation We see
by the papers that large number of individuals
have already taken the preliminary steps toward
ayailins themselves Of the Bankrupt Law. Now,
if the Federal gentleman have such sacred regard
for the sancti,y Of contracts, why do so many OF
them call upon the Herculcan power Of the General
Government to 'repudiaie' their own honest debts'
Would not this be CONSTANT course for them to
pursue, But we imagne that il was youi bull
that gored my OK AT any rate, the mercenary
feelings that actuate the Federas,s have been pro-
verbal from immeniorial. Veg Era.

THOMAS ii. BENTON.
BY. J. @. WHITTIER.

Nor FALLEN! No! as well the tall
And pillared Allegheny fall
As well Ohio's giant tide
Roll backward on its mighty track,
As he, Columbia's hope and pride,
The slandered and the sorely tried.
In this triumphant course turn back!
lie is NOT FALLEN! Seek to bind
The chainless and unbidden wind;
Oppose the torrents headlong course,
And turn aside the whrlwind's force;
But deem not that the mighty mind
Will cover before the blast OF hate,
Or quail at dark and causeess ILL
For though all else be desolate,
1t stoops not from his high estate
A Marius mid the ruins still.
He Is NOT FALLEN! Every breeze
That wanders Ger Columbia's bosom,
From wild Penobscot's forest trees,
From ocean shore, form inland seas,
Or where the rich magnolia's blossom
Floats snow-like on the sutry wind.
Is booming onward to his ear
A homage TO his lofty mind
A need the falling never find.
A praise which patriots only hear,
STAR THE WEST! A million eyes
Are turning gladly unto him,
The shrine of old idoauies,
Before his kindIing light, grows dim!
And men awake as from dream,
Or meteors dazzling to betray;
And bow before his purer beam,
The earnest of a better day.
All hail! The hour is Fastening on
When, vainly tried by SANDERS flame.
Columbia shall behold her son
Unframed, without, laurel gone,
As from the flames of Babylon
The angel-guarded triad came.
The slanderer shall be silent then,
His spell shall leave The minds of men,
And higher glory wal, upon
The Western patriots future fame.
