HE HAMAER.-The hammer is the universal en-
blem OF mechanics. With it are alike forged the
sword OF contention and the plow-share of peaceful
agriculture-the press of the free and the shaekles Of
the slave. The eloquence of the forum has moved
the armies of Greece and Rome to a thousand battle
fields but the eloquence of the hammer has covered
those helds with victory or defeat. The inspiration
OF song has AIndled high and noble aspirations in the
posoms OF brave knights and gentle DANES: but the
inspiration OF the hammer has strewn the field with
tattered helmet and shield, decided not only the fate
OF chlvalrIc combat, but the fate of thrones, crowns
and kingdoms. The forging of the thunderbolt was
ascribed by the Greeks as the highest act of Joye's
omnipotence, and their mythology beautifully ascribes
to one OF their gods the task of presiding at the labors
OF the forge. In ancient warfare, the hammer was
a powerful weapon. independent of the blade which
III formed. Many a stout skull was broken through
the cap and helmet by the blow of Vulcan's weapon.
Inc armies OF the Crescent would have subdued
Europe to the sway of Mahomet but ON the plains

IN the breast Of the people, costing three times the
benefits derived, while the war department, as now
CONSTRUCTED, would be found an extravaganza and
show too costly for a poor people to afford. Instead
off scanty revenue of S400.0 900, we should have from
$4,000 to 100000 per annum- Nor should we
then, with economy, be forced to send abroad and
borrow funds, but would have enough and to spare
for the adornment and real improvement Of cur pleGs-
ant island realm.
The serious question then comes UP whether the
Government Il justified in assuming q debt or wheth-
er the cole cause is the ineficiency Of the ministry.
Inc revenue Of the kingdom for the year 1856
ought fully 10 equal the average Of the three previ-
Gus years. The following table gives the receipts
from duties for the first half Of each year, for the
past four yelrs.

Showing the average receipts for the first half of each
year since 1853 to have been $68, 716, or a falling off
this year of IS, 739. 1t will further be observed that
the receipts this year are but about 3d. 900 less than
IN 1854, and about 81 900 less than in 1853. And
we predict that the receipts from customs this year
VIII be fully equal to the average of the three last
years. And there is no reason why the internal taxes
OF the Kingdom should not also equal last years
receipts. Is it polite then that the nation should be
plunged into debt when we have so poor reasons to
give why the debt is incurred, and are so poorly able
