THE EMPTY TREASURY.

We feel deeply Inundated at the present degraded
state OF our Government, in relation to its pecunary
affairs. That great Nation, like ths-possessng
such abundant resources-with every variety of soil
and climate, and product-with its commerce stretch
ing over every seats manufactures throwing off
millions upon millions of their various fabrcsEthc
earth teeming with its agricultural products-and
seventeen millions of as intelligent and industrious
population as any land under the canopy of Heaven
can present-that such Nation should be- to all in
tents and purposes, BANKRUPT, and destitute of
the means of dischargng its most nconsderable pc
cunlary demands surpasses all human belief
Scourge us forth before the People, those members
of the National Legislature, who idly occupying
the time, and holding Congress in criminal DELAY
while this disgraceiul state of things is suffered to
exist While they sit there collaborating in cold de-
BATE the obligations of the Country are disregarded
the contracts OF the Government violated-the
public faith tanishedand the credit of the country
il may be irretrievably impaired Out upon such faith
less guardians of the public honor Shame upon such
worthless depositaries of the public power. Can
they not that such eXgency affords no time for
idle talk DO they stand to handy words upon the
brink Of preciplce: Are they to amuse themselves
in senseless debate, about the negotiation of Loans or
the issue of Treasury Notes, when the lust debts Of
the Government are dishonored and protested; When
the pecuniary obligations of the Nation are in a DO
sition which would devolve dscredit and dishonor
upon an individual engaged in ordinary business
Not one moment should be lost, to retrieve the en-
barrassed affairs of the Treasury Congress should
slt day and night, TILL accomplishes this end ANY
temporary expedient should be adopted to rid US OF
this heavy public calamity. We well know that the
present Wing Administration is not at all to blame,
for the general disorder into which the finances ofthe
country have been thrown 1t is the result of d long
course Of Loco Foco inquity and mismanagement
There is one thing, however, that some of our Wing
members me to blame for-They are to blame for
not adopting instantaneous measures to relieve the
present pressing eNgencies of the public Treasury
If they do not do it, without further delay they had
better prepare themselves to meet the impending tenn
pest of public Indignation

ing tyrant. Thus their own success ensaves
them. A triumphant people become degraded
slaves. Does not the hand of an offended God
shape their destruction in spite of themselves
when they forsake Him to worship their golden
calves2 When men "trust in Godn rather
than in impotent man-when the peaceful and
permanent consultations of the Christian religion
are preferred to the evanescent glory of con.
querors, or the splendid attainments of ntrigu-
ing politicians, can il be possible for them TO
lose their freedom, or by any ingenuity of de-
signing demagogues be induced TO embark in
the corrupting enterprises Of perverted ambi-
ton? Never The fires of evil men kindled
on the affairs of partisan discord, will grow dim
for the want of fuel There will be no wor-
shippers at the shrine of the great Moloch. The
peaceful and vrtuous American will prosper
and die under his own vine and fig tree. Dema-
gogues will anguish and disappear. The cit-
zens will assemble together to give thanks
to Almighty God for his merciful protection.
And He loW protect them, When ages have
rolled away, and all the vain-glorous empires
Of earth have been crushed by His avengng
hand, and their history botted from the archives
of time and consigned to oblivion, America
Cruising in Cody will stand erect in her matur-
ty, respondent in her virtue, her power, and her
magnifcence
But there will be wars and there must be COM
manders. The vicious rulers of other nations
will force us to the battle field. Such is the de-
sign of Providence. Let US select Christian
championship Washingtons among us-and
we will be victorious
There will be laws and we must have COVER
nors. This, too, is the providence of God. Let
US always select those men for our rulers who are
submissive to the will of the Creator, and the
Government will prosper. We have Chief
Magistrate now, who worships at the altar of
the living God, and invokes in his messages
sour devotion to our Heavenly Parent" and
acknowledges our dependence for every bles-
sing " on the protection and merciful dispsnsa-
tons OF Divine Providence"

BRIBERY
The New York Courier and Inquirer says the He
raids tale not true 1t says E

The New York Courier and Inquirer says the He
raids tale was not true. 1t says:
The resolution setting forth that 'public news
paper in this city charged that the change of OPT
mon in regard to the Bankrupt Law on the part of
several members of Congress was effected by bribery
undoubtedly refers to this paper
That we did publish communication intimatng
that such inference might be made from the change in
the votes of certain members is perfectly true but
far from endorsing the charge, very clearly and
distinctly disavowed our belief in it. Here are our
words
W We present public opinion ony--that public OPT
Mon which il is the duty of the press to mbody and
fearlessly to present. in order that members of Con-
gress may know what the people think of their con-
duct
And having thus given what The public say and
think, shall not hesitate TO give views of
this dsgraceiul transaction. We do not beiiere that
any member of an American Congress would accept
of bride in money to vote against his knowledge of
the wishes of the people and the best interests of the
country but do beiere that such is the ooseness
of the political morality of the day that members of
Congress do consent to be bibed by their political feel
ngs, partialities, and hatreds We do beiiere that
such political bribery and political corruption have been
and at the bottom of this dsgraceful proceeding
This opinion clearly and deliberately express
ed and we have no hesitation in adding that it has
not been changed by subsequent events

THE EXCHEQUER BILL.

After three weeks debate, the Senate has at length
referred the Exchequer bill to a select committee
Why this waste of time in useless debate past our
comprehension, unless we attribute it to that spirit Of
faction which often exhibits itself in both branches
of Congress. The whole country waited anxiously
for the recommendation of President Tyler and that
recommendation was given in spirit of candor and
honesty which startled even his most bitter opponents
The people expected that his suggestions would be
promptly acted upon by their Senators and Repre-
sentatives and that the yexed question would be
speedily settled. But how stands the case We
have read for the last three weeks numerous and in
our opinion, frivolous objections TO the plan of the
President, by those who either incapable or un-
willing to submit better. We can tell these fac
tlou' members that such course of proceeding will
not answer The people demand currency-they
have examined the Exchequer bill they approve OF
it, and they desire that it be tried, knowing that if it
will not answer, that the same power that created it
can repeal It at will. We shall look anxiously for
the report of the committee to whom the subject has
been referred.
