from time TO time in such sums as he
may desire, upon his own orders, psya-
ble to any person or persons; provided.
that the whole amount ofthe draft should
be actually drawn within short period,
say Two weeks aiie' the deposit OF the
draft.
I'd. That any disbursIng officer har
ing draft on an Assistant Treasurer
should be permitted TO deposlt such
draft, and draw for the amount IN like
manner, provided that each order should
be presented for payment within two
weeks after It's date. These provisions
would, it is believed, eflectnally prevent
the checks or orders being used as cur
rency.
The proposed system would render
necessary an increase of the iorce em-
ployed in the offices of the several As
sistant Treasurcrs, and ought TO be ac
compauicd by an increase of their owu
compensation.
The Inconvenience arising from the
accumulation of CON at points where it
is not required for the public service. Is
very great; but il seems to be insepard-
ble from the system itself To pay .
public creditor with draft OH q remote
office, which he cannot sell bat at dis
count, or collect ii. person without Il
Journey, would be unseemly. and the
Government has no means itself of max
ing transfers 10 such cases, other than
the dispatch of special messengers. al
some expense and much risk of loss
The insecurity of the actual custody
Of the public money confided, as il IS.
at the several points, to The vigilance
and fidelity of one Assistant Treasurer,
and he inadequotely cumpensaled-is a
subject which should attract the serious
attention of Congress.

THE WANING MOON.
BY WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT,

BY WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT.
I've watched too late; the morn is near,
One look at Gods broad silent sky;
Oh, hopes and wishes vainly DEAR
How in your very strength We die
Even while your glow is on the cheek,
And scarce the high pursuit begun,
The heart grows faint, the hand grows weak,
The task oflife is left undone
See, where, upon the horizons brim,
Lies the still cloud in gloomy bars,
The waning moon. all pale and dim,
Sails up amid the eternal stars.
Late, in food of tender light,
She foated through the ethereal blue,
A softer sun, that shone all night
Upon the gathering beads of dew.
And still thou wanest, pallid moon;
The encroaching shadow grows apace;
Heavens everlasting watches soon
Shall see thee blottcd from thy place.
Oh, Nights dethroned and crownless queenr
We'll may thy sad, expiring ray
BE shed on those whose eyes have seen
Hopes glorious visions fade away.
Shine then for forms that once were bright,
For saees in the minds eclipse,
For those whose words were spells of might
But faltcr now on stammering lips.
In thy decaying beam there lies
Full many grave on hill and plain,
or those who closed their dying eyes
In grief that they had lived in vain.
Another night, and thou among
The spheres of heaven shall cease 10 shine
All rayless in the glittering llIrong
Whose lustrc late was quenched in thine
Yet soon a new and tender light
From out thy darkened orb shall beam,
And broaden till it shines all night
On glistening dew and glimmering stream.

THE WORLD IS BEFORE THEE.

L q
The wide world is before thee,
Go revel in its blaze;
Lies snnshine may restore thee
The smile of happier days.
/ would not in thy bosom
One bitter thought should spring,
Be like the treasured blossom
That wears no secret sting.
Soon every strong emotion
Shall dropwilhin Thy breast;
The fiercest storms Of ocean
At last are lulled to resS.
And Ger the changed scene stealing
A cheering beam appears;
So. in the work of feeling,
Hope follows after tears.

The very small increase ON the sta
pies of woolens, iron and unmanufac-
tured hemp, compared with the vast iu~
Jury occasinned to our production, and
the diminnton thereby Of our power Of
consumption, cannot fail to attract at
tention-while Oh the other articles
named the revenue and production have
both suffered materially. 1t is believed
that the revenue could be greatly IN
creased by increasing the duties on these
and other articles.
3 propose a return TO the system Of
specific duties on articles on which they
can be conveniently laid. The effects
of the present I'd valOrem system are
two fold, viz on the revenue, and on
our own productions. Experience has
think demonstrated, that looking ex-
clusively to the revenue, specific duty
is more easily assessed, more favorable
to commerce, more equal and less ex-
posed to frauds, than any other system.
OF course such duty is not laid with
out reference to the average cost of the
commodity. This system obviates the
difficulties and Controversies which at,
tend an appraisement Of the forei u
market value Of each invoice, and it i'm
poses an equal duty on eqnal quantiiie,
of the same commodity. Under the al
yalorem system, goods Of the same kinC

WHO TOLD THAT E

The editor Of the Record seemingly to
justify an attack upon Thomas Cash, Jr.,
me of the wing candidates for the Sheriff
atty, states IS a iustifying circumstance,
thatsaid candidate had "charged him. with
withholding his (Cash's) name when hand
ed in for announcement, till he could also
announce Mr.. Watson ut the same time
Whereupon Mr.. Cash waits upon the editor
and denies having made such 8 charge,
thereby taking away the pretext for an at
tack upon him, and demands Mr.. Editors
author. Mr.. Editor gives him the names
Of three gentlemen 10 this city. Mr.. Cash
waits upon these gentlemen and obtains
certificates from each Of them that they
never gave any such information, and furth-
er, tbst Mr.. Editor himself was she only
person they ever heard state such q thing.

The and file are disorderfy, sir, they
neither wheel to the right or left when the
order is giveu-they are mutinous. One
man a '.head and shoulders" above the
Pork House candidate himself, and who has
en- his day commanded abattafioD, swears
he never was iairly enlisted under the
aforesaid candidate, and says if you wish il

enouGh'whigs for them, and so they will
take no pork in theirs. Whole companies
are wheeling of from the Pork House
squadron aftersquadron has deserted, and
are now narshalied under another leader.
Aud the Record too has done its part in
bringing about this result. You or your
friends have played the miserable game of
bringing out disaffected men to break down
the Democratic party. You have been &C.
tive in fomenting discord and mischief
you have pulled on until you could not pull
of, and the poison is now upon your own
lips. 1t would have been well for you to
recolIect that the "stcerer Of the storm" is

gThe Record labors under a delusion
when it states that John G. Campbell is the
only candidate for County Judge in Bow
ling Green. Hiram G. Edwards, who re-
sides at that place, and who is we'll known
to the people in every part of the county, is
also a candidate for that Office, though not
an "independent tchig" candidate, as the
Record says Mr.. Campbell is, nor is he an
independent Democratic candidate. He
would scorn the attempt to connect his
chances for that Office with politics; and if
we were silly enough to do 1t, we are sure
that ne has moral courage enutgh to
promptly rebuke US for it. He would new
er suffer any silly editor to connect the cleo
ton of County Judges with politics by the
use Of his name, and let him 60 unrsbnked

Insult TO an american Min;Sicr.-It is
stated that the United States Minister in
Madrid was grossly insulted, no doubt on
account of the Cuban affair, at an enter
Itainment given by the Prince de Carrihi,
the Neapelitan Minister. The insult was
offered by Gen. Narvaez, iu the presence
of all the diplomats in Madrid. As the sto-
ry runs, the American Ambassador appro-
ched Narvaez in the ball room, to salutef
him; but the latter shouted out at the top of
his voice, 81 will not have any thing to say
to any one who represents a nation that
.harboss pirates and encourages public feI-
.o~nies." Having uttered these words in q
tone loud enough to be heard all over the
room, Nartaez turned his back upon the
American plenipotentiary, who was at once
''cut" by all the Spaniards present.
As the Spaniards seem disposed to turn
their backs upon our Minister, they may,
if they carry their insOlence too far, find
occasion to turn the said backs still more
uneeremoniously upon our soldiers

Mr.. ED1roh:-In your last paper you
seemed to think that the wing party had de-
'tetmined to throw the "pork house candid
ate' overheard, and to take Mr.. Fagg in
his stead. That is not the understanding
with us ont here. Though We cannot be
expected to be so well posted in political
matters as yourself, still we think that the
wings will mainly stick to their ticket, and
that all this talk about Faggfs only intend.
ed as a brag, put out for the purpose of de-
ceiving and misleading DEMOCRATS. They
wish to make the impression that Fagg is
in order to create a division in the
democratic ranks. Their leaders here are
all the time talking and braging about Fagg,
but when cornered up they have to ac-
that they have no intention of
for him-'oh he will beat the other
democrats to DEATH" say they. But when
asked if they intended to vote for him, their
is no.. If asked if he is TO get his
votes from the wing party, they say, no.
But he is to get a great many democratic
votes they say and when asked where,
they always say away off yonder in some
other part of the county, about which they
think we know nothing. Mr.. Editor, this is
only a brsg intended TO cheat democrats,
but it won't cheat me.
