The $4,000 Dollars.

The Pittsburg papers, says the American Sen.
tinel are discussing the propriety Of the city Of
Pittsburg receiving the so, 900 dollar donation
from the State, voted by the Legislature. The
Morning Post says:
"From what we can gather of the public feel
ing, we are clearly of opinion that if the receiv.
ing of it be left to a vote of the citizens they
will respectfully but positively decline 10 receive
i in the shape ofa donation. Indeed, one of the
late residents OF the burnt district, a man who
has lost every dollar he was worth, told us that
he believed that majority OF the sufferers would
promptly reject the donation, if the matter were
left TO their decision.
Although we do not share in the fears of some
that in of distributing the fund, the poor
would get more than they should have-tha, they
would make false, fraudulent statements, and OBJ
tain money to which their losses did not enttle
them-and that the fact Of their having present
employment at good wages, renders useless all
further sympathy or care for their condition
still, we think this $4,000 should not be re.
ceived by our city.
We think, in the first place, that the Legisla.
ture had no right to vote away the funds of the
whole people OF the State to reimburse the loss.
es Of small portion of them, severe and distress
sing those losses have been, and painful as
will be the struggles TO repair them. In the sec.
ond place, il is clear to us that if the Legislature
had the right to vote away money for this pur-
pose, it would not be just nor expedent TO do so
in the present condition of the finances. And
in the third place, we think the precedent of
granting this donation, although it was no doubt,
given under the best impulse that ever stirred
the hearts of men, will be pcrnicious in its con-
sequences, and productive of numberless abuses
Every loss by fire in future will be the basis for
a prayer for legislative aid, which cannot BE-
granted and how unjust it will b. to turn deaf
ear 70 the prayer Of a single sufferer. whose in
dividual case may be harder than that of many
who will receive relief from this fund, should it
} BE- accepted
: The Post states that il has been proposed that
the $50 600 voted by the State, be loaned ont to
individuals who have lost their houses for FIVE
years, without interest bonds to be taken in
favor ofthe Commonwealth-after five years il
the money is not repaid to the State, the bonds
TO bear interest at five per CT until they shall
be discharged-thns taking the $50, 900 as loan
and not as agf.

~ U. STATES AND NExiCo-Our readers
will see, by reference 10 our columns, that things
have now assumed something of a warllke ap
pearance. The British are threatening The
Mexicans are clustering, and speak most posi-
lively of declaring war, which, however, will
not amount to much on Their part. The rulers
ia Texas are, we think, somewhat wavering as
10 what step they shall take, Gen. Houston, il
is said, has come out against annexation, although
