TREASURY CIRCULAR.

We give below another Circular from the
Treasury Department, putting most important
questions to the commercial and agricultural in
terests of the country. We trust they will elicit
full and practical answers, which will enable the
Secretary to lay such projet of a tariff before
Congress as will meet all the support a wise and
constitutional majority give it, and put at
rest, for ever, the vexed question of protective
tariff. Let it be such paper as was Col john
sons Sunday Mail Report.
These Circulars have been placed in the hand
of the Collector of this Port, and we presume
other officers of the Government for distribution,
where any gentleman can obtain copy but the
publication In this paper far as it falls into the
hands OF gentlemen, will answer all purposes, and
1t any one is DESTROYS of answering one or more of
the Questions, he can do so. and send the same
to the Collector who will forward it to the De-
partment. We state this, because an apprehen-
sion that all the Questions must be answered,
might deter those who are capable of answering
only some, from commencing the work at ALL By
so doing the Secretary will obtain satisfactory
answers to all the Questions

the communication taken from the Fredericksburg
Recorder. The true constitutional men now in
the Senate are very few. and the acceptance of
the seat of the Supreme Court Bench, by Mr.
Woodbury., will be severely felt by our party in
the coming Congress. Mr.. calhoun is the only
man that can fill the hiatus now in that body,
and is the only one in whom the country has i'm
plicit confidence leader. We sincerely hope
that he will consent to come TO the Senate for
this Congress at least. Benton is not the man to
entrust with the lead in that body. Allen Of
Ohio, is preferable to him ; but he will be consid-
cred too young. We look alone to Calhoun, at
this crisis

From the Fredericksburg Recorder.
MR. CALHOUN-HIS POSITION-THE
WHOLE SOUTH

The present administration is bound by princi-
pie and by pledges, to relieve the South and re-
store the Constitution, by lending all its powers to
realize the resolutions of the Baltimore Conven-
ton. One of its ablest friends has just been To-
moved TO the bench of The Supreme Court, from
the Senate of the United States. The State of
Virginia has but voice in that branch of the
Federal Congress, and that poice is against us.
L ne most that we can hope from The redeeming
spirit OF republicansm which prevails in our State
Legislature, is to counterpoise this power, by the
Senator to be elected. North Carolina (the land
OF Macon) once SO true 10 Us, and so faithful TO
herself, is paralyzed into neutrality by the same
senatorial division. Georgia, our ancient ally, to
whom virginia In the war of the Revolution, lent
her and without stint, and without return. is tram
meled by the same equipollent division To
that of the five Southern States: Virginia. North
Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama,
three OF them are disarmed of power. and t,co of
them only are champions for our cause and our
institutions. Institutions that were never before
menaced with such dangers, nor assaulted with
such audacity Can the patriot cast his medita-
tons over this state of the public affairs, and court

SURGICAL SKILL

The Philadelphia Keystone mentions two cases
of surgery, which deserves the notice Of the press
generally One operation consisted in taking the
entire arm from the shoulder socket, which was
necessary in consequence Of the young mao (Mr.
Lare) who met with the horrible accident, bav
ing discharged the whole load Of his gun into his
arm, thereby shattering the arm in dreadful
manner. The arm was amputated by Dr.. WIN.
J. Doffee, Of Moyamensing, in the short space of
three minutes, and the patient has now almost
entirely recovered. DR.. ID. has performed also
the operation of the amputation Of the hip joint.
and the patient is folly recovered, and is in the
enjoyment Of excellent health. These cases are
considered the most difficult ones in surgery, and
require great skill to succeed in, even partially.

GovERNMENT ADVERTISING There is a law
applicable TO Government advertising of every de-
scrlPtion similar TO that adopted by the Post Office
Department, with regard to the list of letters,
directing their publication in those sections of the
country for which theymay be especially intended,
and in the papers Of the largest general circulation
The reason for the enactment of this law is The
same that influences private individual when
he is DESTROYS of giving publicity to an advertise
ment OF his own, relative TO any matter to which
he may wish to call public attention.
G'rhe first part Of this paragraph of the Sun is
correct; the reason for the enactment of The la,o,
is not. 1t was successful whig trick, practsed
on the democratic party in Congress, to force the
majority Of the people in the cities to look to W big
papers for information, and rob the democratic
press Of that influence and support which soc
cessful majority should throw in their way. Had
the law not been passed, the patronage Of the 90
vernment would have been given to democratic
papers, which would thus have been strenp theDed,
and properly too, because the principles advocated
by it, are evidently those of majority of the poo-
ple-.Ncw Era.

THE MARYLAND ELECTIONS.

The elections in this State came off on Wed
nesday last, and so far as we are Informed Demo-
crazy and Reform triumphant Our authority
is the Baltimore Sun. Whenever a good thing for
the Democrats is in store, we lose the Republican
which ought to be the first, but it loads itself so
heavily that it is the last But no matter for
that, it has fought good fight under many dis
advantages, and the honor and credit of the pres
ent victory in Baltimore belongs to it. The Sun
says that peace order and decornm prevailed
throughout the day. The vote for Congress stood
in Baltimore city as folluws:-
Giles. (dem) 5sO4

So the invincble Horse Shoe Robinson Kenne-
dy is at last beaten. We rejoice in this, as it
now shows that Baltimore understands her true
interests, and will no longer have her commerce
crippled by an oppressive tariff. Mr.. Kennedy
thoroughly discussed the benefits of tariff in
series of essays before the election; the people
have passed Judgment.
The whole democratic Legislative ticket has al

Native, and Temperance. We are sorry TO see
that this last Orous cause has enlisted in the
