Revival OF BUSINESS When we left
Yew York fortnight ago, there was
every prospect Of gradual, but steady
and sure revival of trade and confidence.
Up to nearly the last days Of the session
Of Congress, there had been much to in
crease the gloom which years of mis-
rule had brought upon every interest in
the conference.-the, manufacturing
and farming. Not only was The curren.
ey deranged, manufactures broken down,
and produce SO low as not 10 afford fair
remuneration 10 labor, but, too add to all
these terrible evils, there was prospect
that the government would be left with
out a revenue, that the public works
would be stopped. the army and navy
and the public officers ramain unpaid, and
the public credi, be destroyed.
To avert these great calamities, large
majority Of the Wing party, united uiih
considerable minority of the Locofocos
in Congress. succeeded in passing Re.
venue bill, which, whilst it is calculated
to provide sufficient funds to support the
government and gradually pay of the
public debt, likewise affords an ineiden-
tai protection to every AmencsR interest,
and carries out that countervailing 20.
licy" which Gen Jackson advocated to-
wards other countries who tax our pro-
ducts enormously. II is this Law which
has revived the dropping spirits Of the
country. Under its lin the main beRign
influence, commerce is reviving, scores
Of Factories. which have been closed for
months, have been again put in motioa,
the great iron mines are once more filled
with active and cheerful workmen; and
without any Of that speculative spirit
which worked so much evil in former
years, there is feeling Of cheerfulness.
