may Justly refuse to be generous to the throne, !
until the throne will be Just to them. But here, |
where executive officers are not the rulers, but |
the servants of the self-govcrning people, all
public obligations are the obligations Of The law |
making power residing primarily in The people. |
and by delegation in their representatives, and
the nation, not the executive is clarceablc for
the breach Of the public faith. TO refuse To The
executive therefore such pecunary supplies as
arc requisite for maintaining the public credit,
aud inIhilng the obligations of the nation, would
be step which nothing but the EXTREMIST nee
essity could Justify, and which should not be re-
sorted 10 until all her constitutional means
have failed. The true remedy for these evils is
that pointed ont by the general sense of the
wing party, an amendment of the constitution,
which shall forbid the recollection of the same
lndVldualto the highest Office in the gift Of the
people, and shall restrict the exercise of the ey-
ecutlyc veto 10 the limits contemplated by the
true theory OF our republican frame Of govern

from the people, and that its exercise ought al.

people,
Another point, which has been, and at any
ordinary iuncture. would continue TO be regard
ed as OF surprising and vital interest, is the
great question, whether the regulation Of the
currency shall be left TO the individual aud dis
cofdA0i action Of the several states 10 which the
constitution, Ivy restraining them from issuing
bills OF credit, seems to have denied all power
on the subject, or whether the national govern
mont shall be charged with tho duty of proy-
ding uniform circulating medium for the
whole people Of the nation. The exploded and
visionary dreams Of the suppression Of every
species OF paper money are rejected by the

Gardening.
IoEGFELL0W.

There is not in life more delightful
occupation than gardening. To breathe
the pure mild air Of spring, TO prepare the
beds and borders for vegetables, plants
and flowers; to SOW the seed and set out
the various slips and cuttings, arranging
every thing with order and taste, to look
earnestly for the first leaf and bud and
flower; to watch their growth, to enjoy
their beauty and fragrance, to show them
TO ones friends, to talk about them to have
them admired, and to know that all is the
work of your hands or directions,this is an
enjoyment, scarcely to be equalled, and
accessible, in this country, to all. Let
none then fail to secure it, We always
thought it evidence Of good wife, to see
her often in the garden and fond of in
speeding and attending to It's proper cult
walton and management. Depend upon
it she is a blessing to her husband and
family. We would advise our young
friends, who want to marry, and they are,
in truth, goodly number, to avoid those
young ladies who seem to have an aver
sion TO the primitive, useful and beautiful
art of gardening. We never knew lady
or gentleman, who was extremely fond Of
flowers and shrubbery, who had not a
warm heart and generous disposition.

Jail at Machlas, Me, were arrested at ST.
Stephen on Sunday last, by Mr.. Collins,
sheriff Of that county, who was assisted by
several individuals in 81. Stephen in Sc
curing the fugiives. The manner in which
they made their escape was by making
fire on piece Of stove-pipe, which the,'
held against the wall until the stone be-
came heated; then they dashed on water,
by which means they were enabled to
break stone eighteen inches thick into
pieces, some Of which weighed thirty

The first flower ofthe plain.

When forest gldesarc tcerning with briefforns,
Nor dark and many-tolded clouds ioretell
The coming-in Of storns.
From the earth's looscned mould
The sapling draw its s,lsLcnancc, and tlIrivcs;
Though stricken to the heart with winters

The dropping tree rcvivos.
The sorly-warllcd song
Comes through the pleasant woods, and colored
wings
Are glancing in the golden sun along
The forest openings,
And when bright sunset fills
The silver woods with light, the green slope
throws
It's shadows in the hollows ofthc hills,
And wide the upland gIows.
And when the day is gone,
In the blue lake, the sky, DER rcrching far,
Is hallowed out, and the moon dips her horn,
And wrinkles many a stll.
Inverted in the tide
stand the grey rocks, and trembling shadows
throw,
And the fair trees look over, side by side,
And see themselves below.
Sweet April, many thought
Is wooded unto thee as hearts are wed;
Nor shall they fall, till to its autumn brought,
Lies golden fruit is shed.
