The old sycamore that stood the bank"-od Song
Thank you, Messrs. Editors, for your just
discrimination rs exhibited by your remarks in
relation to those in charge of the public grounds
who have deemed it advisable to cut down sew
raj of the many sycamores that were originally
planted around the circular road of Capitol
Hill when it described n semi-circle-that is.
before the, grounds were extended into Penn
sylyania avenue, and up to the line of First
street west.
The confidence Of the editors win suffer

missioner is bound to listen to the reports Of
those whose duties lead them to notice the in
iications of decay in the trees, and their scrag.
gy appearance, he reserves, we doubt not,
his own judgment. The fact is, the sycamore
best flourishes near the water or low grounds,
and there it looks well See, for instance, that
beautiful grove of sycamores below the circular
road, in the grounds Immediately west Of those
of the Capitol. They were planted by an honest
Irshman, to liquidate debt due to o former
surveyor Of Washington, deceased, who re-
sided on the HILL lie designated the spot in
what was then called the I" Botanic Garden"
and prophetically added, that "the public in
the next generation would bless the honest fell
low for their delightful shade" II will be seen
that the judicious Commissioner viii never allow
those trees to be touched--they will ever be
cherished by MI ~ WoRKING-MEN.

the post office one morning, and while there the
Postmaster asked him ii he knew any English
people staying Mt the hotel? "Why does thee
ask" said the Quaker. Because" said the
Postmaster, here are half dozen letters di-
rected to England by the next steamer, and as
the postage to Boston is not paid | cannot send
them. If cannot find the writer's OF them,
they will be forwarded to the dead-letter Office,
in Washington" Our . Friend'' looked az the
letters. They were all double, and he remarked,
.'-They appear 10 be family letters, and no
doubt will be most welcome if received, or may
cause great anxiety if they should not be-" sI
cannot help it," said the Postmaster. "WeH,
! can, if thee cannot what is the postagef"
= For six double letters, three dollars" !" Veil,
here is the money; thee viii please mark the
letters paid, and send them to Boston," And
with this injunction the Philadelphia Quaker

CULTURE.-0ne Of our popular orators an.
nounces this startling paradox in n printed lee
ture just published: /" Crime increased in Eng
land four times, and in Scotland twenty FIVE
times, as fast as the people. i refer to this in
crease of crime as consequence cj the culture Of
he age" Is education, then, n source of crime !?
Has the art Of printing multiplied the vices Of
mankind? Are ignorance and barbarism only
compatible with virtue? History refutes this
assumption. Fncts controycrt it. 1t is sheer
paradox and pernicious doctrine. In another
passage of the same lecture appears this anti
American sentiment: Our larger cities con-
tain masses Of ignorance, poverty and dcgra-
lation, cqrnllng the most loathsome quarters
of their European seniors, and the Commons
are assuming the government, as they absorb
the wealth, of England" And why not? Why
should the masses not reap the fruit Of indus
try? Is not "the aspiring spirit Of trade :"
preferable 10 the monkish apathy of the dark
ages? What should absorb wealth but labor {?
This writer has but one alternative, that power
and capital ought to absorb wealth--a doctrine
as monstrous and unjust in ITSELF ms it is repug-
nant TO every principle of republican freedom
Incorporated in American constitutions, or re-
cognised ms the foundations of justice, civiliza-
tion, and social happiness. ss.--PhR Ledger.

RAzEENG THE NAvY.-A plan is proposed by
MIR. Grice, naval constructor, for converting the
frigates Of the navy into steam propelers by
introducing some four hundred tons weight of
machinery and coal, and taking away one eighth
of the number of guns, half the ammunition,
and one fifth the number of men. ,rs.a#
Naval constructors and officers Of the navy
are the best judges of the practicabiity of the
changes proposed If they approve the plan,
as is said it needs no other Recommendation
II Mr.. Grice is right in his assumptions, that
the ships can do with one-half the usual amount
of ammunition, and one-ffth less number Of
men, then the navy is moth of the biggest
kind, and has been eating into the substance Of
the nation with most reckless appetite. Pow
der and ball have been spent on something else
than the enemies of che country.
