A New County.

Representatives TO form nceo county, to be called
Carbon, out of the upper Townships of this Coun-
ty, and the Townships of Northampton, which lie
about Mauch Chunk. The Bill, it is said, will be
kept back in the Senate until the people interested
in the matter can have timo to express their opin-
ions upon the subject We trust therefore that
the people of Monroe will be up and doing. Our
County is small enough now, and our taxes al
ready sufficiently high. The people of Stroads-
burg are particularly interested in having the Coun
ty remain as it is. To cut OFF two or three town
ships would be cutting off just so much OF its bu
siness. The people of Easton and various parts
Of Northampton are demonstrating against the d.

Public Spirit,

A number OF patriotic citizens, in Philadelphia
arc circulating subscription papers for signatures
pledging various sums towards the payment Of the
State Debt. The gentlemen having charge Of the
matter, intend to call on all patriotic citizens for
their mite. So far they have met with unexpect-
ed success, and have the most sanguine hopes for
the future. This is certainly novel proceeding,
but it is the only which under existing circun-
stances can be made available towards raising suf-
icent money to liquidate any portion of our State
Debt. Heretofore the Legislature has been una
bic TO make provision for raising money enough 20
pay more than the interest, and when they failed
in borrowing they could not even DO that. If the
present Legislature makes provision for the regu-
lar payment Of the interest, it is quite much as
we can expect from it, and probably more than II
will do. Voluntary contributions, therefore, con-
tinued for a number of years, will be the only
thing which can free US from our present inancia!
