DEFICIENCY IN THE REVENUES.
Ii is announced in the Washington papers,
from an official source, that in the amount
of revenue which will be requisite 10 NEE,
the expenditures OF the government for the
fiscal year ending the 30lh Of June, 1850,
and the Both of June, 1851, there will be a
deficit of between fifteen and twenty millions
Of dollars" THIS deficiency, II is said, has
been occasloned "by the extraordinary ex
pendilures grow NJ out of the Mexican war,
and the treaty with that country"
From a remark IN the Union some weeks
since, We presumed that the revenues OF the
country would prove TO be sufficient for all
purposes, and lha' the public deb, Of the coun
try could be rapidly extngushes. Bot II
now appears, tina, government will have 10
borrow large additional sum of money to

been incurred. The report Of The Secretary

which have produced this unexpected con.

It IS not necessary Tor me to do SO a, this time.

general results Of my reflections.
The Federal Government, because il is the
Government Of Tho United States, il tho trus.

SUMMERS FAREWELL.

In the breath OF The nigbt.wind sighlng;

The sapless Leaves are eddying round,
On the path which they lately shaded;
The oak OF The forest Is losing It's robe;
The flowers have fallen ard faded.
All that look on but saddens my heart,
To think that the lovely so soon should part.
Ye, why should sigh3 Ohsr summen will

Again will the Vine bear It's olushlng lroI;
Again will The birds be singing;
The forest will put forth its "honors" again;
The rose be as SWEEP in is breathing;
The woodbine will climb round the lattice pane
As wild and rich in It's wreaihip8.
The hives will have honey, the bees Will mum,
Olher flowers will spring, other summers Will
come.
They will they will; bat, all! who can tell
Whe,ner may live on ill their ccming}
This spirit may sleep 100 soundly then
To wake with the warblng or humning.
This cheek, now pale, may be paler far,
When the summer SON nexl is glowing;
The cherishing rays NAV gid with light
The grass on my grave-Iur growing
The earth may be glad, but worms and gloom
May dwell with ne In the silent tomb.
And few would weep, in the beautiful world,
For the tameless one who had left Ii;
Few would remember the form cut OF,
Ard mourn The stroke that CLEFT II
Many might keep my name on hei lip,
Pleased with that name degrading;

A hsme for their cold upbraiding.
