Jefferson and Distribution.
Certain politicians of late, have been
sorely troubled to know how to spend the
immense revenue of government. In the
second Inaugural Address of Thomas jeff
erson, who is good authority in some quar-
ters, he says: The redemption Of the pub
lie debt once effected, "the revenue thereby
liberated, may, BY just reparfi'ion of ii
among the States and corresponding
amendment of the Constitution, be applied,
IN time of peace, to rivers, canals, roads,
arts, manufactures and education, and
other great objects within each State. y
We have outgrowu the wisdom Of Jeffer-
son. Now, instead of devotiEg it to man
ufactures, We take from them, rather un-
wisely sometimes, BY reducing revenues in
ORDER to deplete the treasury. Historical
"reminiscences are useful in letting the pre-.
sent generation know how the past though ut.
Many OF our politicians who undertake TO
enlighten the people, misrepresent history.
1t is better for US to become little ego
tistic, and proclaim that we have grown
wiser than our fathers, than to libel the
past.
sS-Evcry day reveals new victims Of
the disease originating in the National
Hotel, Washington city. Besides those
already mentioned, We have to add to the
: list of sufferers, Senator John P. Hale,and
daughter, Messrs. Grow of Pa, and Hall
of Mass with other Members of Congress;
John G. Montgomery, Esq of Danville !;
Mai Dewart and one or two others of
Sunbury and Rev. Chs Howard Ma!com
Of Newport, RI. (vho merely stopped on
his wedding tour, for day or twO.) A
Now York city lady died from an attack.
The symptoms are those Of some active
agent eating the bowels, and seem slow to
be dislodged
WASHINGTON, March 10.
The Board Of Health who took possess
ion of the National Hotel in this city, to
investigate the causes of the appalling sick
ness there, repudiate the rat theory, and
arrive at the conclusion that it was occa-
stoned by the poisonous mlasma generated
in sewers, eess-pools and sinks about the
establishment
pgThe New Castle Gazette and Pitts
burg Daily Journal attribute to DR. En-
WARD ID. GAZZAM, the new Senator from
Allegheny, the chief credit Of SO far bar
monizing the Opposition elements to the
Administration as to unite the most hon.
est aud sensible portion of them in Union
State Convention. The Dr. was formerly
a radical Democratic Anti-Slavery man,
but many years of observation and calm
reflection have satisfied him that Slavery
must be first hemmed in and gradually
robbed of its strength and its power. 1t
is work Of time, aud emphatically ga a.
Dor of love-" to eradicate an evil so natur-
ally fostsrcd by all the bad propensities Of
the human heart. John Wesley truly said,
"Slavary is the sum Of all villaiuies."
MONEY Misunderstanding to the
Treasury estimates, there are in this coun-
try about $3.50, 100000 of gold, Of which
little more than fifth is in the banks
leaving little short of 5000, 900, 900 to be
found elsewhere The Treasury boards
very commonly from twenty to twenty-five
millions-leaving probably sl75, 100000
to be sought among the people. Allowing
$50, 1000, ,O00-a liberal estima;e-to be in
actual use, there remains Sl2O, ,00O,O0O
which is boarded by the people. Much Of
this thus out of use loses part Of its value,
and would increase the wealth of its pos
SCISSOR, and do more good, if kept stirring.
The printers keep none on hand.
SLAVERY AND THE NATURAL ORDER
OF THINGs.-Some of the Southern jour.
nails begin to see that slavery must give
way before what they call the "natural
order of things" Even Charleston pa
pers, which so recently regarded slavery
as the natural condition of the negro, and
wished the slave. trade re-opened, now
think that "wherever the white man can
labor throughout the year on this continent
he will ultimately, as things are gong,
dislodge the African, and force him to
those more congenial fields Of labor further
South, where be alone can benefit the
world with tropical productions"
ADVERTISING SALEs.-The last No. oi
the Bucks County MteHigencer contains
notices of no less than ninety-ciyh public
sales to come off in that county. The In
teRigenccr says that in no other county IL
the State are personal property sales SC
we'll attended or are such good prices Oh
tanned as in Bucks county This is doubt
