TEN MlLLI0Ns.-An effort was made in
Congress previous to its adjournment, by the
friends of the President, to pass an approrri-
alton placing ten millions of dollars in his
hands, to be used by him in any contingency
which might arise in relation to the acquis-
tan of Cuba or in any other quarter-a kind
ofsccret service money, probably, of which
no very strict account was ever to be exactcd
or given. Congress, however, denied this
Dery modest request-or, rather this most ex-
traordinary request ever cmanating from an
Executive. Numerically strong as locofoco-
ism is in Congress, it could mt quite stand
such demand; it was not willing to trust its
''illustrious head" with quite so large grab,
and so telling him they would be back again
in the third of q year. and saw no probabli-
ty Of his requiring such sum in the mean
tine.

Mn. EDITOR Not having intrudcd on
your columns for some time ask your indu.
gencc to enquire whether the legislature at it's
last session abolished the act previously pas
std prohibiting the sale Of Intoxicating Ii
quors on the Sabbath day?
have noticed for some months past when
passing number Of public houses in the up
per part of Cecil county on the Sabbath, II
large number Of persons collected in and about
their bar rooms frequently in high glcc and
not ,mfrcqucn,ly some of them seemed muc!:
affected, probably from sea sickness or some
other cause unknown to the pasScr by. Even
in the town long celebrated for its morality
and Temperance Institutions, have seen mn
favorable looking asscmblascs of persons Vi
botl, colours seemingly in high spirits.
But am Told that the law is in fault and
not the buSincss-that some of our best men
furnish the houses and are not to blame as
they get a larger income than they could for
other purpoSrs-and the officers are not to
blame for they are patrons of the houses
am told some have been selling seven days in
the week without II license, but hope this is
not truc--lt would b. shame to d,frald the
State Gifts revenue.
Yours, SAMUEL.

THE DEAD PAnrY.--A common by word Of
locofoco editors is that the Wing party is
dead and never again can rise to rule. or ruiz
or, ind cd, cause them any particular fear or
trouble. Yet, nevertheless. they keep mp a
terrible fire upon its dead carcass. as thor Oh
they, all the while. put no confidence in what
they allcgc of its demise, or fear a troublesome
resurrection. The National lnt,llig,nccr al
lnding to this subject few days ago, says
alt was but a few days since that vigil.
ant Democrat in the House of Representatives
admitted the potency Of the Wing party
whilst he lanentcd the incfiicicnry of his own
in shaping the legislation of the country
This is a consolatory admission in more re,
SpcctS than one; for if in decided minority
as they are at present, they can give tone and
effect to the business of legislation, how mich
more useful must they prove when again in a
majority The simple philosophy Of tn,
ihing is this: that Wing principles stand 'he
anything efficient for the country, the maj ri
ty must fall Into Wing measures. Whatever
Of mischief has yet been done cannot be laid
III 'ht uooI ol ile W ilSs; Whatever OF SOou Is
to result from bills for Notifications, roads
rivers and harborS, or from any other meas
ures promotivc of the general welfarc;'
must be credited in fair proportions to Wing
consistency and Wing devotion"
Conlirnatory of the fact that there is still a
little life LIFT in the Wing party, it may b,
mentioned that at the election in Missouri on
Monday last, Mr.. Kcnnctt, Wing, was eject
I'd to Congress over Hon. Thomas H. Benton
the present member; that the wings have
made large gains in Iowa, and that in North
Carolina, if they have not elected their CAN
didate for Governor, which is not yet certain
the returns show they have gained upwards
of four thousand upon thu last guben,atorial
vote.

The REPORT OF THE FIRE INSURANCE Con-

The REPORT OF THE FIRE INSURANCE Com
PAINTING understood last year that the
Mutual Insurance Company of this county
ordered the Annual Report of its Proceeding
to be psblish,d in the county papers: and
from time to time VIC have been asked Where
is that Report g a question we have not beer,
able to answer except that VIC believe ii has
not been published as ordered by the Compa
ny.
On Saturday last, the question of publish.
ing the Report for 1854 came up and upon
certain representations that as it would only
cost a title more than t'r,cc as much to publish
it in pamphlet form as in the newspapers, it
would bc better SO to have it printed, and
we understand it was ordered to be printed
in pamphlets. So the EXPENSES of somebody
to the city and while there to get the pam,
phlcts must be paid, and 'r1ce as much must
be paid for the work as if it were done in the
county papers; and for what? We leave 9th
crs to answer that question.
The assertion that it will more certainly
reach the members of the company in pam
phlct form than in the papers is ialacy.
All who insure in the Office may not take one
ofthe rape's but thelargc majority do take one
or the other it is in the papers that all such no.
tees are looked for and there they will be seen
ifsccnatall. Through thcpapers, was stated to
be the cheapest manner ofpubication i; is
undoubtedly the usual and proper manner of
