God formed the world for beauty,
And hung it in the air,
Then clothed it in its loveliness,
And called il good and fair.
His are the Furnished heavens,
With all their orhs of light;
He gave the stars the lustre
That they shed upon the night.
He made the mighty ocean,
Its grandeur and its grace,
And gave it mystic splendor,
As mirror for his face,
No nobler emblem hath He, +
None greater. none more free,N t5F
No symbol half so touching,
AS the bounding, mighty sea.
The mountains in sublimity,
AS monuments shall stand,
To teach US wandering moftals,

Upon their mighty hillside,
Around their summils high, h
his name is wrote in glory,
In power and majesty.
But oh! the blooming prairie,
Here are Gods floral bowers:
Of all that he hath made on earth,
The loveliest are the flowers.
This IS the Almighty's garden,
And the mountains, stars and sea,
Are noughl compared in beauty
With Gods garden prairie free.

BANKS AND BANKING.

"If states bordering on Ohio tolerate pape
currency we must do the same, or we will be in
undated with foreign paper. and our specie be alb
stract ed."-Whig Logic.
This is the stereotype conclusion to thu
arguments of the wing bank advocate!
against an exclusive metallic currency
An argument that could only be fran
ed in the bankers sanctum. endorsed
by fools, and circulated by knaves.-
And yet partial and fallacous as is tin,
dogma, there are many individuals
"good and true," who endorse its cor
rectness. But if those persons were
to look over the whole ground-if they
would give themselves the trouble to
analyze the causes that must lead to this
influence, they would be satisfied,
think, that the above conjecture is an
imposing fallacy, without the least shad.
ow of truth to sustain it.
The state of Ohio is from its inland
situation, essentially an agricultural
state, and a large majority of her citi-
zens are, from necessity, husbandmen.
Her sources OF wealth are her produc-
tions. When the wants other own pop
uation are supplied, any surplus which
her producers may have is in market,
for ''the highest and best bidder" If
her products can find foreign market
more advantageous than that offered at
home, they are taken to the former; if
not, the seller contents himself with
the market more immediatel y within his
reach. Now, in the former case, the
farmer or producer is neucr the carrier;
in the latter, as the distance to market
is short, he always is. These postu-
lates cannot he con!roverted; and from
their admission we will easily show the
inaccuracy Of the wing doctrine.
We will premise, what will be readi-
lv conceded--that mutual wants and
necessities are the only links Of rcla-
tionship that exist between the pur-
chaser and seller, and these are-if
may use the phrase-the only points Of
attraction that bring them together
The one wants some article Of comfort,
convenience or sustenance-the other,
a consideration in cash or its equiva,
lent.
But many Of those conventional or
physical wants exist considerable dis
tance from the means Of supply, and
hence the necessity Of a common mart
for the convenience Of all. Now let
US suppose that citizens fNew York,
Of Baltimore, or of Pittsburgh land
here | adopt the favorite home markel
theory Of the wings want a supply Of
flour, wheat, corn, beef, pork, &c. &C.,
and the farmers Of Ohio have large

THE QUESTION TAKEN!

The agony is over, and the debate on the ques-
ton Of notice, which has been conducted with
great if not unrivalled ability, lin the opinion Of
Mr.. Adams himself,) before the Committee Of the
whole House since the 5th of January last, has
now terminated, after more than 70 speeches were
delivered. The question has tlsst been taken, af-
Ter session Of seven and half hours, from 10 a.
M. to half after D. m. The scene was animated
and interesting beyond description. It's the fret
spectacle of this sort that we have ever witnessed
The galleries were crowded beyond any thing we
have ever seen in Washington We were advised
by familiar observers to prepare for storm It
cams, indeed: but the very warning we had re.
ceived was calculated to abate our sense Of the
copfuson and excitementit exhibited. One crcum.
stance we were extremely gratihed to discover

0S- Daniel Webster, in his speech delivered il
the Senate of the United States on the 25th of Nav
1882, asks the following question: Why have
we so small an amount of specie in circulation,' p
After asking this question, he proceeds to answer
1t in the following manner: " Certainly the only
reason is, because We do not require more. We
have but to ask its presence, and it Uould return
1t is not because there is not, or would not be
specie enough TO do the business of this country
If we should return to metalic currency that the
wings are in favor of banks; but because there are
set of money lenders in the country who must
have exclusive privileges granted them before they
will loan their money to the people Must we,
then, grant these exclusive privileges and be cur
sed with bank rags, or shall we ask the presence OF
specie, when by the mere asking, (according to
Mr.. Webstcr,) it would return:" Mr.. Webster
nays that " we voluntarily banish it by the great
amount of small bank notes. He again saws, in
speaking of paper and specie: "That which is
cheapest, or OF less value than the other, always
fres its more respectable associate out OF its COM
pany." In connection with this subject, hear
what the venerated JACKSON says:
1T rs ONE OF THE GREATEST HUMBUGs Ey-
Err ATTEMPTED TO DE IMPOSED UPON A PEo-
PIE THAT THERE is NOT SPECIE ENOUGH IN
THE WORLD TO ANSWER ALL THE NEcEssA-
RY WANTS OF THE COMMUNITY. Look at Gu
ba. There is no paper there. Shut ont from cir.
eulation all paper, and specie ,oiH .fo,o in upon
us as the tide; but it will never flow to any coun
try that has paper currency which will always
depreciate. A National Paper Currency is great
curse to any people, and particular curse to the
aborer of any country, for its depreciation always
falls upon the laborer. But with these hints must
close, being exhausted l am greatly debtated.
and remain your friend.
