And jasainine odouYs wide afoat;

That carpets DER sweet natures face,
With emerald hnes that far surpass
The gem that glows with borrowd grace;
And roses red and violets blue.
And anemones. rich and rare,
And pinks of soft and varied hue.
And snow drops white, and lilies fair;
And cowslips bending DER the stream.
And creeping nondescripts, ,ha, mount
The forest giants wide spread limb,
And bell-cups hid besides the fount;
And woodbines twining wild and high,
And scented shrub, and blooming tree,
And rich peonies meet the eye,
And amaranth that's dear TO me;
And hyacintb of varied bloom,
And hohey-sncke, odour'd sweet,
And hawthorn flowers. dspeling gloom,
Are widely spread, the sense to meet;
And lark that mounting trils his air,
High in the air of yon blue heaven;
And blue birds chant that's soft and clear,
And whiporwil that halls the even;
And blue jays, drest in heavens attire,
And nonpareils, of plumage gay.
And red birds, mantle d DER with fire,
And llrusb, that meets the morning ray;
And robin, seeking where 10 place

And doves. loving, 6merous race.
That mourn their mates with constnncy;
And sea side birds, so sweetly sung,
As screaming DER their nestled brood,

Ger hill, and stream. and swelling floodi
And gales that wake the slumbcring sense
Of natures children, far and wide,
And breathe feeling pure, intense,

BANKs-THE POOR AND THE RICH.

II is the common slang of our opponents
that the Wings are the Aristocratic Party. and
that their measures are intended to SNAKE the
Rich, Richer-and the Poor, Poorer The
Banking system especially has been held up
by them as the enemy of the Poor and the
friend Of the Rich, in the face Of all reason
and facts. writer in the Richmond Wing,
speaking Of this subject, says:
Gin reading the Life and Writings of DIR.
Franklin, few days since, was struck with
some remarks Of that most sagaclous observ-
er of men and things, that serve, in striking
manner, TO substantial the position of the
Wing party upon the Bank question, and to
subvert that of the Loco Focos And have
felt somewhat surprised that we have not be-
lore availed ourselves of such high authority.
hope ! shall be excused for attempting to
call attention to it.
In his life of himself, on pages Sc and Z,
DIR. Franklin SAYS :-"N early at the same pc
nod, (l730) the People ii. e. of Pennsylvania
demanded new emission of paper money !;
The existing and only one that had taken place
III the province, and which amounted to
tIoOO, being soon to expire. THE WEALTHY
INHABITANTS, prejudiced against every sort of
paper money, from the fear ofits depreciation,
OF which there had been an instance in the pro-
vince of New England, TO the injury of its
holders, STRONGLY OPPOSED the measure.
We had discussed this affair in our Junto, in
which was on the side of The new emission :;
convinced that The first small sum, fabricated
in 1923, had done much good in the province,
by iavofing Commerce, Industry and Popula-
ton.
Our debates made me so fully master of the
subject, that wrote and published an anony-
nous pamphlet, entitled: "An Inquiry into
the Nature and Necessity Of Paper Currency.''
IL was well received by the LOWER and MID
DIE CLASSES Of people; but il DrsPLEAsED
the oPULENT, as it increased the Glamour in
favour of the new emission Having, how
ever, no writer among them capable of an
swering il, their opposition became less vio-
lent: and there being, in the House of As
sembly, majority for the measure, it pass
edn
Thus we are Informed by this most unm-
peachable witness, that the second emission
Of paper money in Pennsylvania, was brought
forward by the lower classes Of the People,
and carried through by them, against the
strenuous opposition Of THE RICH.
And yet there are those who strive to con-.
vince the People that paper money is merely
an ingenious contrivance Of the RICH, to grind
and Cypress the POOR.

member, was filled TO overlooking to hear Mr..
White preach Funeral Semon, during which he
read letter written year ago by Gov. G. upon
the subject Of Religion. The Episcopal Meth

THE SUB. TREASURY FEDERAL MEASURE.

Any measure which has a tendency to in
crease the power and patronage of the Exc
cutive is Federal. That the Sub-Treasury
will abundantly produce this effect, no one
will pretend to deny. The Sub-Treasury
scheme, therefore, to which Mr.. Van Buren,
and his friends are so warmly devoted, is a
Federal measure. 1t is the offspring of one
who is abused by the Democracy as one of
the rankest Of Federalists. BY the following,
from the Steubenville (Ohio) Herald, it will
be seen that ALEXANDER HAMILTON first in
troduced and recommended the Sub Treasury.
To us it looks little unfair and ungenerous
in the modern Democracy to rob the old Fed
era!ists of their measures and principles, and
at the same time curse their name and memo
ry with the bitterest anathemas. They ap.
pear to regard nothing odious in Federalism
but its name.
"Alexander Hamilton was the original in
ventor and proposer of the sub-ireasury
scheme, which Van Buren, fastened upon the
nation, and for which mainly he was kicked
out Of the Presidency. In 1886, Van Bu-
ren's Secretary oil the treasury recommended
the scheme to Congress by the declaration that
'it was urgently recommended by this De-
partmeDt as early as 1902 From 1889 to
1895 Alexander Hamilton was Secretary Of
The Treasury, and Of course was the Secre-
tary in 1890.

The Ns,o Turf Project.

We inser, below an abstract view Of the
Tariff bill reported few days ago to the
House OF Representatives from the Committee
OF Ways aud Means, with list of the pre-
sent dssies on the articles embraced.
The National m,elligencer thus remarks in
reference to this bill:
"We have taken occasion more than once
since the beginning Of this Session Of Con-
gress 10 express the opinion that the existing
Tariff would undergo no modification during
the present session. The report of this a
mendatory bill in the House of Representa-
tives does not in the least weaken that OPT
mon. The benefits Of the existing Tariff law,
both to the revenue and the country through
all the arteries and notifications of ITS business
and industry-are too widespread, and too
obvious to every section of the Union, to ad-
mt any probability that it will be seriously
disturbed, so long as results so beneficent con-
TRUE to flow from it,
"The wisdom of repeating or essentially
reducing the Tariff, under present circum-
stances, would be about equal to that of the
farmer who would set fire to his well-filled
barn to escape the danger of surleit of pros
perity. We do not believe, therefore, tina,
those who propose this bill expect il to pass
For our own part, we regard its introduction
an measure Of Precipitation to the Southern
part OF the Democracy; )" but we very much
doubt whether a majority even of the House
oil Representatives will go so far to propitiate
their political friends as to pass this bill"
