WHAT MICHIGAN NEEDs.-Michigan needs
a greater diversity of industrial empIoyments.
Distant as che is from maratime markets, it is
absurd FOR her to attempt to arrive at any great
degree of prosperity while the value of her la
lor is consumed to pay for the transmission of
her imports and exports.
Michigan needs, less selfshness and more en-
terprising public spirit-less of the spirit which
inquiries " how can become quickest possess
ed of my neighbours property and more of that
which inquiries "what shall do most to pro-
mote my own interests, in conjunction with the
interests Of my neighborhood and State %
With this change of the. predominant spirit
of the State-yes, and without it,-Michigan
needs the repeal ofthose laws which took their
origin in the alternate successes of keen kna-
very, and blunt dishonesty over-reached.
The legal rate of interest is one pcrnicous
example of the first class. The law allowing
ten per cent to be taken, efectually establishes
that as the legal rate. As consequence, no
money is loaned at less while, in fact let any
man in this State attempt to DO business with
borrowed capital, at the rate of five per cent,
he will soon become satisfied that he pays all
the money is worth. The consequences ofthis
law are already developed throughout the
State, on every hand. No money is vested In
Improvements scarcely houses enough are put
up the increase of population mills are
built, because Touring seems to afford the next
best investment to money -lending but no fac
tories, or other undertakings involving trouble
and risk, yet eventuating in improvement to the
general prosperity is thought of.
BY some means the agriculturalists of this
State have become too depply involved in debt,
and the representative of great share of our
real estate, may be found in the various Regis
ters Offices, where Capitalists are patiently
waiting the rlpening and fall of the precious
fruit under the ten per cent system.
Of the second class is the exemption laws,
which seem intended to favor debtors, by fur
nishing creditors with good excuse for claim
ing more tangible secur ty than liability to ap
attachment previously afforded.
The struggle between debtor and creditors in
this State, has been incessant. This should,
at once, be stoped by course policy, which,
by promoting general prosperity, shall remove
the necessity of debt, and the temptations to
dishonesty.

IRELAND.

The United States ship of war, Jamestown,
arrived at Cork on the 18th of April IN fifteen
DAYS from Boston. Her arrival was greeted
with much popular enthusiasm an enthusiasm
which need not be ashamed of It's cause for
the arrival was pctory-a partial one to be
sure,-over real enemy, an enemy to all man
kind, unsparing famine.
The bells of the city were rung, and there
was much excitement in the streets. A depu-
tation was sent on board the Jamestownto Capt.
Forbes, who made an appropriate reply. He
and his officers were sumptuously entertained
at public dinner on the 18th, by the people of
Cove, and the next day meeting of the inhabi-
sants was held to express their gsatitude to the
Americans for their timely relief. These are
such events as should be celebrated by ringing
ofbels, iluminations, and other demonstrations
ofpublic JOY.
We take the following acknowledgment from
the Dublin Nation :-Tribnae
.AlD FROM AMERrcA.-Welcomer than ever
was kingly guest is the flag of America to our
eyes,. We have seen it's stars shining through
the land, and we felt that Ireland was not alto
gether outcast among the nations.
A nation stepped to the lips in calamity, can
seldom speak, even as a nation in such straits
should. But the same providence which has
raised us friends, will some day send us an OPP
rortunity for reduiting them. May it come
coon! e
Till then let ms cherish impotence for it in
our hearts. Let us learn to look at this gener-
Gus Republic with unen vious eyes.
May her eagle long abide among the stars.
The distress of Ireland being now somewhat
relieved, to which the contributions of Ameri-
cans have materially assisted, we claim that it
il the right, and the duty ofcitizens of the Uni
ted states, to unite with the people of Ireland
to demand such change in the adminlst, alton,
of affairs in that Island, that such calamity
may not recur. Is it nothing to the world that
dom, drawing thence untold revenues of private
and public wealth, yet casting the serf laborers
upon foreign charity for support, Is it moth
ing that England strips Ireland naked, beats her
full Of sores, and sends her out to beg I! Shall
she be allowed to do this time and again with
out murmur from those whose charity is thus
imposed upon ! We think Americans, though
foreigners, have something to do with the "pe-
sullar institutions " of Ireland. If we can not
only relieve present, but prevent future distress
we double our charity. Not long since there
va, a proposition in Great Britain, to ship to
the United States, an immense petition, contain
ing three millions of name some for each slave
now supposing We send similar petition
tothe English Government, for the emancipa-
ton of Ireland, signed only by those who have
actually made donations to save her people from
starvation. We do not see how disinterested
benevolence could be better repaid.

THOMAS CORWIN.

SENTENCED FOR TREASON This Mexican
war, from its inception up to the present time,
has been prolific in circumstance without pre-
cedent, and anomalies of all kinds. The peo-
pie have seen usurpations of authority, and ev-
ely description of enormity succeed each 9TH
er until neither Indignation, regret nor surprise
is manifested at anything which the admins
tration can ordain or execute. The last, and
not the least extraordinary performance has
been commenced in New Mexico, under the d.
rection of the executive. 1t appears that the
U S. District Attorney, for Santa Fe-5y
the way, this making District Attorney wheth-
er in the United States or foreign country,
without the sanction of the Senate strikes us
as rather bold stroke-This District Attorney
has caused to be indicted certain Senior An
tonic Maria TrogiIlo, for high treason, of which
he has been found guilty, and for which he has
been sentenced to be 'hung by the neck until,
he is dead" Senior Antonio, it seems did not
appreciate the blessings of Liberty, and rebell-
ed against it, and being, as he says, a Mexican,
he had right to rebel. But says the Attor-
ney general, you tonk the oath of allegiance to
the United States. g 81 Senor,' says Anto-
Mo Trogello, "but old il with 1000 American
soldiers, with loaded arms, and sixteen pieces
of ordnance about me-" The defence seemed
so forcible that the U. s. District Attorney
has suspended the hanging, until he can hear
from Mr.. Polk W hat is to be done with the 10
gical culprit, thus sen fenced to death for high
treason. As the Richmod Wing well says:-
'.The idea of arranging and solemuly trying
and condemnng to the gaows Mexican cit
izen for treason to the United States, because
he is found in arms against the invaders of his
country, after having, with bayonet at his
breast, r,nounced all allegiance to his own gov
eminent, and taken an oath of fidelity to the
conqueror, is so revolving to the feelings of our
nature, that the mind instinc lively revolts at
proceeding so unjust on our part, and SO cruel
in its operation upon its victims"
