MnToN SrAPP, Esq, in a long letter to the Madi-
son Banner, announces that he has quit public life
for good. In retiring, he absolutely recommends 10
the people to be honest, and thinks we should do away
with party names, and put measures in a plain and
tangible form before the country, and ends, by declar-
ing himself in favor Of all the old federal measures
including internal Improvements. 1t is quite a funny
production.

An extraordinary rush Of work, together with the
closing of the Legislative printing, necessarily pre-
vented us for some time past from devoting as much
time to our paper as we desired. The latter being
finished, we hope TO do some better in this respect
and to attend to such business as has been necessarily
laid over.

hrThe .. Unionn snvs-

The wing press is in full I" cry" about the de-
signs Of the President. They exclaim. in so many
words, Why does he not tell us what he intends TO
do! Why 50 much mystery and reserve! Will lac
not trust the people! Will he not trust Congress ?
Will he not trust u.s. We demand an answer. II
he be an honest man and a faithful officer, lie will
show his hand and tell us all his plans"
The reason of this cry, which was started by Web
sier in the Senate, is simply this. The British
Wings want the President to " show his hand" and
devclope his policy, so that England can take adran-
fage If a., and govern herself accordingly. They
can't possibly have any other object. THIS is so self
evident a fact as to be needless of argument, to ell
force it on the mind Of any person Of common sense.

G~The Message recently sent to the Senate by the
President, caused something Of war "panic'' among
the bubble-dealers of Wall street, at its first recep-
ton but, a sober second thought quieted their fears,
and they have discovered that they were only "liI"
not absolutely blown sky high and burst Up. Tie
Money Article of the NecS says
The Message Of the President at the first blush
produced some panic, but mature consideration showed
that it meant nothing. 1t was a Characteristic DIS
play Of frmness. Messrs. Haywood and Calhoun
attempted 10 produce ome impression that the Presi-
dent had changed his mind since the annual Message ;
a simple and explicit reiteraiion of his position at
once confounds their attempted diversion. The con-
%temptible trickery Of the Wing party, as headed by
Daniel Webster. in endeavoring to skulk their duties as
Senators. in carrying out the advice Of the President in
his Message, under the pretence that possibly he had
char ged his mind, or that the committees know more
than the body of the house, is puerile in the last de-
gree. The course of Mr.. Webster and his colleagues
excites not only the contempt but the indignation of
all parties. The best interests of the country are
triaed with on the eve Of the greatest crisis Of modern
times, in order TO fasten some supposed disagreeable
responsibility upon the Executive head of the nation.
The peace of the country is ieoparded for the want Of
that patriotism which should sink party tricks in n
great public object.

GOLD DoLLARs.-We have never yet found an in
d%ividuai, not connected with banks, opposed to the
coinage by government Of gold dollars. And yet,
strange to say, a committee of the U. S. of Represent
tatiyes has reported against such a measure. The
only reason in the world, so far as we are aware,
against it. is, that it will have a tendency to drive
small notes out Of circulation, and hence curtail the
immense profits Of bankers. Let the people, say we,
speak out on this subject; and demand that their re-
personalities reflect their own will in this matter. 1t
may appear unimportant to some but the Bank
DroHes do not SO consider it. If we thought that
people would not consider it a joke, we would recon-
mend those who desire to see a coin of the kind, to
call on us. We really have one, and no joke and
we mean to keep it. We will also show how pretiily
they can be sent by mail without extra postage or
discount.

RULES TO BE OBSERVED BY VIsIToRs IN AN EpI-
TORS OFFIcE.-Enter softly.
Sit down quickly.
Don't touch the poker.
Say nothing interesting.
Engage in no controversy.
Don't smoke.
Keep six feet from his table.
Eyes off his manuscript!
If he be a decent man, he will put what papers he
does not wish within your reach-them pore over to
your hearts content.
If he be abrupt, or look savage, take ii for granted
he is stalled-and vanish.--N. Y. Commercial Times.
The writer of the above deserves a Gold Medal for
his production, and the thanks of the whole corps
editorial. 1t abounds in wise suggestions, says a
contemporary, which ought to be most strictly observed.
PAINTINGs.-Our fellow citizen, n. B. STARR, has
lately executed some of the most elegant paintings
that we have seen in years. Mr.. S. is certainly al
excellent painter, and we would advise our citizens
to call and examine some of his specimens. Among
others which we have noticed lately, (executed to gil
an order) were the " Bride of Abydos," and !" Gen
Jackson in his last days" We have never seen these
excelled. Again we say, to the lovers of fine arts

the Russians, and they have made use of it to form
settlements about Puget Sound, the possession of
which the British now claim to have in their own
hands, and endeayor TO found upon it an argument
for retaining the country.
Nor will they give up one inch of this possession,
If they can keep it without going to war with the
United States. That Great Britain will be willing
TO engage in an expensive and hazardous warfare,
to the ruin of her manufacturing towns, and the Grip
ping OF her mighty commerce, for the sake Of shut
ting us out from the Pacific, we do not believe. But
that she will give up the Straits of Fuca, and the
noble roadstead Of Pugei's Sound, unless she sees US
disposed to insist firmly on possessing them, we be-
heye as little. II she sees hesitation and fear in our
proceedings, she tiR d~ssgrealy point 10 hr ar1namc1ts
and insist upon retaining possession Of the TaterS,
upon Tie shores # aghich her agents, the lrO conpa-
MES she has chartered, hare planted themselves.
We regret to see symptoms of wavering and indie
cision on the part of the Senate. The wary diplo-
matists Of Britain are watching il, to see how far the
the claims of Great Britain may be pressed without
mourning tie hazard Of war.
