Pause and Consider
Whoever. 10 a season Of general activity and
v.anted prosperity. ventures 10 dissent from the
notions current with the mighty mass who look ony
az the surface of things must be content 10 bear tno
aooelation Of croaker and the reprosch oil SEEKING
or at least aiding 10 create the very evs ne "ou'u

The Secretary of the Treasury officially repof"
Oh. achievements Of the Government during the
ls., ooarter at s22. 4745O5. Deduct some two or
three million. devoted " the redemption OF Treas
ory Notes. and We have left an actual expenditure
equivalent TO Eighty luai'0ns per annun. All are
aware that this is BY means the sum total OF our
ootgoes-that bills ard claims are accumuiating III

there remain Foyfy,fye Millions TO be taxed upon
the sweat and toll Of future yesrs-Perhaps oil iu'
turs eenerations-with intermediate payment
ofinterest TO the amount Of nearly 50 00O 900 per an

upon the Treasury figures. The Washington cor
respondent of the Journal Of Commerce Ia Texas
Free Trader says
There 10 much speculation to the amount OF the
deficit In the reveDu. which will appear on the 3Otn

Foyty.sir millions deficit next June, after ex
handing the Eighteen Millions borrowed the other
day Do the People who are TO pay this money
ever think Of the responsibility Do they ask
how long they are to 90 piing up debt after this
fashion, How long would it take 10 subject the
Labor of this country TO a burthen like that which
now aids 10 crush out the life OF the Laborers OF
Europe
But again:
The Imports of Foreign Goods at this port Tor the
frat week Of August were s3592l62. against
al $40 7O6 during the like portion Of last year The
last ten days Of July exhibited similar expansion
of our Imports and the goods entered yesterday
were valued at some 500 600, being at the rate Ol
over Tuo Hundred Millions worth per annum-
OF course no one expects the lmportations to con
tinue in this ratio for a whole year, bat the other
hand DO one conversant with the subject can anti
eipate any serious falling off during the next forty
10 sixty days. AT the same tune the demand Tor
our Grain and Flour to go abroad is very greatly
diminished, as compared with what 1t has been
and the price also has seriously fallen of.
What is TO be the issue OF this state OF things =
How have seasons Of Revision calamity, CONNER
cial distress, commenced hthertol Have they not
generally followed closely in the wake of inordinate
importations Of Foreign Goods Let US pause and
consider.
We hear that already the usual concomitants OF
plethora OF Foreign Goods in our market--un
reasonably long credits from Importers to Jobbers
and from Jobbers to Country Merchsnts-are
noticeable in the business operations OF our City
We have already spoken fully and repeatedly on
that point. Now we await the issue. Forewarned.
they say, is forearmed OF course this implies that
the warning is needed.
