Major Gays battalion Of artillery had the honor Of
escorting the hero to the boat. The mutual farewell
which was taken by the distinguished guest and his
multitudinous Hosts was exceedingly impressive
nay affecting even. The brave old man was scarce
~ able to give expression to his sentiments of ac-
acknowledgement for the honors Of which had been so
profusely showered upon on him during his briet
stay here Salvos of artillery announced his embar
kation and the departure Of the boat, which took
place about 10 IN.

things, both at home and abroad. The pub
lie sentiment upon this subject too, will act
upon Congress and react upon the country.
Nor will it be uninfuenced by the condition
Of commercial affairs in England and France
and Germany,
Next to the tariff question comes the con-
stitutional treasury system. The results Of
this system, as exhibited in the Treasury
Report, are stupendous, if they are correct
ly stated. 1t would appear that within the
last eleven months, our Federal Executive
has received and discussed more specie than
was received and discussed during the whole
Of our constitutional existence besides-and
yet we have escaped commercial and bank
ing revulsions, SO far The time is rapidly
approaching, in view Of these results, to de-
eide whether the constitutional treasury will
ever be departed from by Congress. It
needs periecting, and does not work with that
precision which It may be made to do. Con-
nected with this topic, the question Of rear
ing another mint and locating it in New
York, is intimately associated; and still more
closely associated with it, is the grand ques-
ton Of pacifcating Mexico in its relation to
the mining districts. The increase Of the me-
tallic basis of money medium would seem to
be imPeratively called for by the world at
large Not more necessary was it at the
period Of the discovery Of this continent. -
The power Of producing articles for the sup
ply Of human wants has outstripped the
power Of man to appropriate them. This
excess Of the one over the other is owing to
the multiplication Of the power Of human la
