Government, while wishing to issue more
paper, cannot redeem its outstanding OBJ
legations This was never the case with
the late Administration, which always Of
feed the option Of coin to its creditors,
and never failed to redeem its Treasury

10 make another plunge in the abyss Oi

Webster exhibited during the Presidsn-

We hope he will pardon Mr.. Benton for
adopting $50 significant an emblem of The
present condition Of the Exchequer.-
What was once msre figure Of rhetoric

Tue wrath of the MadisOuian is also ex.
pended upon Congress, for not increasing

ago. when the Treasury was in state Of
plethera, General Jackson proposed to ex.
pend lew millions Of the surplus upon
our floating aud stationary defSncss -
His proposition was resisted and defeated
with every circumstance of obloquy, and
all was swallowed uD in the distribution
fund, which, as il has turned oui, was
money thrown away. MIR. Webster, the
present leader Of the C.tinet. then made
the Pa,riOIic declaration that he would not
vote for the measure, e the guns of the
enemy were baliering the Capitol, a de-
ciaration which Mr.. Adams truly describ-
ed as the next step 10 treason? Is the

Let the people never forget that The pre-"
ent Prime MiRisier voted against the sup
plies when the enemy was raVagiDg the
country: that he declared he would refuse

was the head. and that neither personally

New MODE OF GRAFT1Ns.-Mr. Bown.
ing OfNSwburg, has lately practiced with
success 4 new mode ofgrafting, the OH
Ject being, to test the quality Of fruits Eai-
sed from seeds in q shorter period than
would be possible by permitting such
seedlings TO stand until their natural lime
of bearing. The method is, to put the
top of shoot from Seeding tree, or a
new variety, when'it is desirable to pro-
cure a specimen Of the fruit Immediately
upon the top of thrifty shoot Of mid
die aged and fruit bearing tree, the pre-
cess being simply to take thrifty shOOts
about quarter oI an inch in diameter, and
cut them in sianting manner clear
through, so as to detach about four inch.
es Of the top from the rest making the
line Of the angle about an inch-ths stock
being cut in the same manner. The
backs are then to be carefully united and
bound up with yarn, covering the whole
with grating wax, to exclude the air.
By this mode, fruit may be obtained in .
short period, SO as TO test its value al IN
early day, the operation being simple. with
scarcely fear of failure. Horticultural
