To show to the people of this Territory

nanifesting her appreciation Of the good
services of our Delegate, Hon. ]. /.
STEVENS, present you brefoutline with
the request that you give it publicity Of
the manner in which his constituency Of
Clarke received him, on his arrival here,
Saturday evening, the 23d ult He was
met at the wharf by large number Of citi-
Zens; as soon as he touched terra frma,
hundreds locked around him, anxious to
welcome him back to our Territory. This
was only relieved by the booming Of can
non, close by--s salute of forty-two guns
fred-after which Gov. STEVENS addressed
the assemblage, which was received with
deafeuing cheers.
On Monday it was ascertained that Gov.
s. would not take bis departure from this
place until Wednesday morning Notices
were posted throughout the city and vicni-
ty, calling a meeting Of the Democrats, at
which meeting q committee of six were
appointed, Consisting Of Messrs. Kelly,
Ahern, O'Ragan, Sohon, Martin, and
Langford, to wait upon Gov. STEVENS,
with the request that he would address the
citizens Of Clarke county, on Tuesday even.
ing at "Musical HallP
At the hour and place appointed, large
eoncourse of people had assembled. CHAs
WEsrMoRELAND, Esq, was called to the
Chair, who, in very appropriate speech,
introduced Hon. l. l. STEVENS to the meet
ing. Gov. S. took the stand, greeted with
loOdicheers, He treated upon the future
prospects Of this Territory, its knowledge
abroad, &c.--the situation of the war debt
1.-The assurance given him, on the eve Of
bis departure from Washington, by the
Secretary Of State, (Gen. CAss, that the
rights Of the Hudson Bay Company would
be settled at an early day, and in the event
Of the matter being settled, the rights o.
the settlers thereon, would be respected
&c, &C., &c. The address was well re-
ceiVed and duly appreciated.

Now AND THES.-When in the faHif
1857, Mr. Cobb, Secretary of the Treasu-
ry, came forward with the strong arm Of
the Federal Treasury, to relieve in some
measure the financial disasters which were
fast crowding upon the business of the
country, no praises were too loud, no en-
comiums too extravagnnt for bis action
This sentiment was not at all confined to
his own political party, but was general
among all parties. 1t was deemed appro-
pirate that the ready money in the Treasu-
ry should be used for purchasing Govern.
ment Bonds not yet mafured, and thus af.
ford temporary relief to the country, M the
hour Of its greatest need.
But the revulsion went so far as to pros
trate business, and to carry down some Of
the ablest and most experienced iuanciers
in the country; and the Treasury, owing to
the great reduction in imports, soeu be-
come exhausted, and ike thousands Of solV-
ent merchants was obliged to effect tenn
porary loan. The equilibrium has not yet
been restored, aud the utmost economy is
required on the part Of the government to
keep the expenses within the proper limits.
Greedy spectators, who are impatient TO
get their hands into the Treasury in some
way, are growing tired of government
economy, and begin to cry ont for higher
duties, for more money. OF course, as Mr..
Cobb is the immediate head Of tbq Finan-
cial Department, they first visit their
nathemas upon him; aud, therefore, he who
was fifteen months ago praised by all
tongues, now comes in for liberal share
of abuse. The same sheets who then
thought the able financial management Of
the Secretary would surely make him Pres
ident in 1860, now think the public policy
of Mr.. Cobb has brought the Government
to the most pitiable co0dition il has occu-
pied since the days Of TJler-7JOSrHaI Of
Commerce. - ts,.r

A HOME SCENE.

Come, let US pull the curtain down,
And lay the work aside,
And gather up the playthings
You've scattered far and wide;
And place the lamp upon the stand,
Beside the great arm chair,
And bring the last new magazine
And cut the leaves with care.
Now heap the coal upon the CRATE
He loves a cheerful fire
See how the flames dance merrily,
And leap up high and higher
Now place his slippers on the rug,
And get his dressing gown;
For papa will be tired and cold
When he comes back from town.
Gene, let me bathe your glowing cheeks,
And make your hair look neat,
And put your bright pink apron on
There, now, you're clean and sweet!
Now sit down on the little bench
That grandpa made, and see
How still you will be while good mama
Goes lay the cloth fer tea.
The tea kettle sends forth Its hum,
The biscuits are SO light;
l wish he'd come, ii seems to me
He's rather late tonight!
HArk wasn't that our gate that clicked
"Hurrah!" shouts little Will,
And ere I've time to tell him hush,
He's bounded DER the sill.
And "papa's cOme!' he shouts again,
And climbs up for a kiss;
And "papa's tum oh, papa's tum"
Echoes his little sis.
Oh happy group that live and love
Within that humble cot;
Many who dwell in palaces
Night envy them their lot.
