The undersigned cannot doubt The legis.
lalure will adhere TO the policy heretofore so
persistently pursued, of extnguishing the
debt as rapidly as the state of the finances
will permit, and by no means prolong any of
the loans beyond their maturity. To accom-
plish this, prudent husbandry OF the present
means and prospective resources ofthe treas
ury will be demanded, inasmush as the or
binary current expenses Of the government,
inclusive Of The interest on the present
amount of the debt will equal, if NOT slightly
exceed, the amount Of the annual State tax,
and any unusal expenditure must be charge
upon other resources.

WASHINGTON ITEMS.

The Washington Star makes the following re-
marks upon " the effects OF the message The
Star is an Independent paper not attached to any
party:
TIE EFFECTS OF THE MEssAGE.-The message has
already dissipated all possibility of sympathy in
Washington with Democratic opposition to the Ad-
ninstration, based on the trouble in the party in
New York. The hopes Of the boilers there were
founded wholly on the strict constructionists and
economists of the South in Congress- as strange as
it may appear in view of the history of the career
Of the leaders of that movement in connection with
the lobby at Albany and also in Washington. The
slavery chord was tender one to touch, answering
instantly as it were. 1t cannot be played for an
instant after the slavehoding interest in the Gov
eminent realize that those claiming its aid in such
times, are fighting an administration based on the
purposes and principles announced IN this message
The election of yesterday told the tale of the Ad
ministrations Overwhelming strength in Congress,
and, with the message must prove sufficient to an
initiate Democratic opposition by driving it forth
with into the Wing ranks.
Those who are Wings on principle, and also those
who are Abolitionists principle are emphatical-
" satisfied with the document. The former, mas
much as 1t shows concluslvey that the policy of
those in power cannot fail at once to unite against
them all who do not like to have the Government
Of the United States conducted according to the
strlctest doctrines LAID down by Thomas Jefferson;
as praeticed by Andrew Jackson. The Abolition
lists because the Presidents views upon the slavery
question are clearly such as must instantly unite
against him for vigorous action, all the antislavery
poiticians-men and women Of the country.
1t is clear to all sensible men here, that the in
huence of the Executive and his Administration
are all powerful with Congress at the moment
Yet, in a week, or a month, it may not be So
There is a strong but at present apparently SUM
boring nominal Democratic wing disposed to carry
out any purpose the lobby may have BY the use
of the usual well understood appliances twill vote
in the House 20, 25, or possibly 80 votes This
strength would make it dangerous, ifitcould count
upon the countenance of the Wing party. As the
leaders of the Wings in the House know well that
the rObbng of the Treasury the purpose dsposing
those who are 'egging' them on they will not Join
hands with them So twill be impossible for them
to make combination likely to enable them to
give Pierce serious trouble

ELOQUENT EXTRACT.


We make the following extract from the speech
of the Irish Exile, JOHN Mitchell, delivered at the
public dinner with which he was recently honored
at San Francisco. 1t is very eloquent:
Like Epaminondas of old or like that twenty
years sleeper Of your Catskil mountains, 1 open
my eyes to behold what changed world Why
here on the spot where l stand-here where five
years ago solitary ship sometimes visited lonely
bay of the ocean, at the back Of the globe for car
go of skins-here has arisen this stately city like an
exhalation from the sea. This youngest and fairest
daughter of your great Republic, was vet unborn
when fell asleep-I awake in the Tyre of the Pa
cIfc. No ata-morgana city of air is this. The
genii have not piled it up with clouds Neither is
it. like the city of the Cars or the city Of the Con-
stantines, the enforced workmanship of vassas or
slaves executing the iron will Of despot-here
stands the fair achievement Of free and sovereign
citizens doing their own behest and for their own
behoof-a city staunch and potent, opulent and free
ESQ peTpetud. Long may commerce and freedom
sit enthroned within her walls, and the wealth of
thousand isles be waited to her feet and poured into
her gates of gold But this is phenomenon l
have to study. On the threshold Of your country I
cannot lecture, l can only wonder and admire
Reverently and deliberately it becomes a stranger
and asprant to the privileges of your citizenship to
investigate those wise and manful Institutions that
have bred and nursed the energy of such race-
A changed world Indeed! If | look to Europe
there is change too, but of far different kind.
France left Republic, with Liberty and Fra
ternty blazoned on her shield Now,-even in her
distant colony of Tahity my ears are greeted with
WE Z Empereari Wee Napoleon This is be-
wildering but lido not venture to blame, and can
not afford to pity the French. / believe there is a
meaning in all this, which bodies no good to my
enemy. And after all, the man they set over them
is Frenchman. France is not ruled by foreigners.
If an empire be the government of their choice,
they have it. But perhaps might say, the
sooner the better. And Hungary is down once
more Not all her enthusiasm, not all her devo
hon-not her ten victories not all the high genius
Of her Chief nor the fiery elOquence Of her immor-
tai Governor, could save her for this time She is
down, and must take breath and rest little, and
gather strength for her next wrestle. And Ger
many is sulenly quiet, and is pouring out her peo
pie from every port toseek in America the freedom
their own land denies them. And Italy bleeds
again under the alons of the black vulture of Aus
tria and Sicily writhes like the Titan beneath her
own Etna. And throughout Europe, a million
bayones at all mems threats, and electric wires
carry all mems secrets to the police, and railways
pour troops wherever murmur is heard.

NUMBER OF Hoes SLAUGHTERED-PRtcEs, Be
The market appears to be somewhat frmer than it
was last week, and prices "a % S4 80 net for
hogs for packing, and but few transactions. We
quote mess pork nominally Sll 50aSl2 90, with no
actual transactions The prevailing quotations last
year at this period were Ct cts. for hogs nett and
SIC 70 per Dbl for mess pork. l82,308 hogs have
been slaughtered up to last evening around the
Falls, exclusive of New Albany. The total num-
Der of hogs killed last year to the same period De-
cember Y, 1852, were l32, JOY, with Al ,725 left
over in the pens. The number killed the year pre-
vious to the same perod-Dec II, 1S5l-was 108-
$40, with Il, 300 left in the pens.
Estimating the number of hogs packed to date
at New Albany at 400, the sum total around the
Falls this season would be lS4708, which is an ex-
cess Of 52,60l upon any previous year. The to
tai product of the season will not vary far from
100000 hogs.
At Madison as we learn from the Courier, hogs
arrive freely; about %, 600 have been received by
the railroad, plank roads, from Kentucky, and by
the Cincinnati packets. The market is animated,
and the packers appear determined tomake up for
time lost by the backwardness of the season.
Prices 81 81 10, 81 20 for extra heavy hogs
At ST. Louis Thursday there were a number of
small lots selling at S4 and contract for 1000
head to arrive at the same figure. A majority of
the packers doing nothing-waiting for hogs

were Given TO men to enable them to conceal their
ideas. In this light we look upon pieadings. OF
course if party were to swear to one declaration
in ten in assump:it, he would have to be indicted
for perjury and handed over 70 the keeper Of the
penitentary.
It is hard to tell Which is the most ridculous the
prescribed forms or writ in criminal cases. The
frivolous minuteness of DETAIL the involved senten-
ces, the wretched transposition of language, the
senseless repeions and barbarous argon excite the
dread and jealousy of the ignorant by the appear
ance of trick and mystery and call forth the ridl-
cule of the enlightened man. What Intelligent
man ever heard declaration in libel, SANDER, OF
assumpsit, or an Indictment for murder or perjury
read without feeling of contempt Tor
ers who would desire TO retain such fooery IN the
iudicial proceedings of age that claims to be en-
Epbtened? Yet, if it be proposed to require by
law that the changes and defenees in court of JUS
tce shall be made in language suited to the age in
which we live and Ineligible to those to whom it
is addressed, some profess to consider itas most
unhallowed attempt to pull down the very temple
of justice on the heads Of the people, and to spread
confusion and disorder through the land. They
profess to consider those who bring forward such
reforms as crack-brained projectors, who, in the
classical language of an indictment for murder, do
not have the fear of God before their eyes, but
care moved snd seduced by the instigation of the
devil" -s.
We have, however, consoled ourselves with the
reflection that no system, whether il be the result
Of accident, ignorance, charlatanism or all Of
them combined, can produce greater uncertainty in
the administration of the law, greater delay, OF
greater costs, than the present one; and that not
many greater judicial caiamites can bofal country
than to have claw and equity separated from each
other"

THE HOMESTEAD BILL-The fact that notice has
already been given in both houses Of Congress that
the homestead bill will be introduced at an early
day is significant Of the interest which is felt on
this subject The notice in the House was given
by Mr. Dawson, of Pennsylvania, and the title of
the bill he proposes to introduce is as follows:
"a bill to encourage agriculture, commerce, man
ufactures and all other branches of industry, by
granting toeyery man who Is the head Of family.
and citizen of the United States tract of one
hundred and sixty acres ofland out Of the public
domain, upon condition of occupancy and cultva
ton of the same" &c
We have already stated that the notices in the
Senate were given by Senators Gwinn and Chase
and, by reference to the proceeding in the Senate
yesterday, it will be seen that Mr. Gwinn has al
ready introduced his bill Wdshington Union.
