to relieve the country.
The Congress had come here to improve the
system Of finance. The House had passed bill
for establishing the constitutional treasury; but before
the measure was consummated, Congress adjourns,
leaving about twelve millions of the public money
in the hands of the banks, on which to make dis
counts for their own emolument, and to issue a
large Fictitious circulation of paper money.
The President recommended liberal scheme for
the graduation Of the public lands for the poor
purchasers, and presumption for the benefit Of the
enterprising settlers Humanity enforced the meas

Congress may adjourn, avoid the dog-days, and
give the wings an opportunity of taxing the demo-
Gratis with the derclictien of their duties.

country calls upon them to discharge their duties in
their behalf The wings know that the RESPONSE

The Fate Of a Gambler.

The course of"Riley Of Bath" is one
not at all unsuited to our pages. The
career of such professor is d. homily a.
gainst this profession, and never had ca
reer SO pointed moral as his. But we
are compelled reluctantly to give way to
those who have better claim to the atten-
ton of our readers. Let it suffice TO say
that Riley lived life of the most gor-
geous luxury and extravaganza that he
was the companion Of sovereign-that he
squandered money with profusion a.
mounting to insanity, and won it by good
fortune that seemed connected with the
supernatural; nor was he free from gener-
Gus and daring sentiments. He on one
occasion risked an entire colossal fortune
on the hazard of the die against Russian
estate, the slaves on which he was desirous
Of restoring to freedom. He succeeded
in his attempt, and accomplished his de-
sire. Subsequently he ran brief course
of dazzling splendour; he lived in palaces,
continued to play, became unlucky and
found, fortune, wealth and friends desert
him. AT length the once possessor of
millions was seen wandering through the
streets of London naked, famished, and
pennyless; and finally he who had feasted
Emperors, and Jared sumptuously every
day, died of absolute starvation in. one of
the miserable alleys Of the great metropo-
lis. Such is the course ola gamester!

We quote the following article from The
New Orleans Bulletin, a paper that has
long been an advocate Of the protective
tariff system:
'Indeed, we doubtif the bold and vigo-
rous example Of Great Britain, at once the
greatest commercial and the greatest man.

The doctrine Of refaliation--that is the
propriety ofimposing restrictive duties as
retaliation or the policy of other coun-
tries-has been cardinal point in the
advocacy of that system. The doctrines
Of reciprocity, or extending to others the

exercise, has seldom been denied. Great

The. Country and the Administration.

The N. York Evening Post closes some
spirited remarks on the Oregon question
with the following paragraphs:
We are well satisfied that this Oregon
matter. cannot be carried safely through
except by an administration sustained by
prudent, but decisive, support in each
house. No nation can deal with England
if it palters, or triHes, Or hesitates.
1t IS no such course that, in our ludg-
ment, will secure peace. 1t was no such
course that secured US from war with the
French in 1886. Great Britain cannot
but see that we are entitled to ports on the
Pacific. She cannot but see that the
49th parallel leaves her liberal share OF
the territory. She will see all this PLAIN
enough, if our government can command
support at home and respect abroad. But
she will neither see or hear, il she finds
that the administration cannot rally lis
own lrienos IN such an emergency as
this.
No one can out do us in devotion Of
peace. We despise in our souls the brag-
gart clustering to which, dayafter day, the
House of Representatives re.echoes; but,
in our Judgment, a firm policy is the only
way to prevent war.
The result will prove who is right. In
that result lie the lives, the fortunes, the
happinessof millions, and we can only ex-
press the devout hope that in these high
debates neither local interests nor personal
jealousy may be allowed to turn the scale.
Let all give the administration candid con.
struction--liberal support--and God save
the Republic.

Mr.. Hume was especially delighted
with the passage in the Queens speech
relating 10 the good understanding be-

said:-
sit was in the power of the British
Government united with that of
France, to command the peace Of the
world.-Quarrels might take place be-
tween different nations, but these two
great nations united would prevent
war;"
This cordial understanding between
France and England, which is to keep
the world atpeace, has been the great
characteristic Of Louis Philppe's gov
ernment, and during that time France
has had war with Mexico, two wars
with the Argentine Confederation,
and continual war with AIgiers. Eng
