pen Of Mrs. Mary Hewitt

have very great pleasure IN bearing my
testimony to the value OF your Sewing Machine
which can DO couscientously. To say that Il is

which will in the end, emancipate miserable wo-

FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL Il, 1851.
THE NEW LOAN.

Inc New United States loan of eight mil
lions was taken up on the ID on terms more
favorable for the Government than those of
the last More than four times the amount
called Tor was subscribed This result shows
three things; FIRST. that there is no fear il
'iios' VINO nave money to let, that the U. S.
so"t~rhment is going to pieces, notwi.hstand-
ing the temporary difficulties which treason
and rebellion have brought it into. In the
next place it shows that the country believes
that 1T has an honest and firm man in the
Executive chair, and yet further, that the
Secretary of the Treasury is man of integ-
rity who has sensibleand comp lehensiye views
on matters Of finance. and who is able and
willing to carry them out. Finally, il shows
that the howls which flll the air from the n.
Y. Herald and others about the swift ruin
which they say the new tariff act is bring
ing on all the business interests of the coun-
try and even on the government itself, are
regarded as idle wind by capitalists.
They know, of course, that like every
new tariff, it must bring some incon-
venience from sudden change; but they
believe that so far from lessening the receipts
of the Treasury, it will in the end increase
them. and bring not weakness but strength
to the country at large.

From the Y. Y. Sun, April 8.

The Government is certainly showing its
teeth in threatening style, to which the I'M
penetrabIe secresy of its councils, and the
marvellous coolness of its bearing from the
first. have added formidable look of weight
and force. The adoption Of the sudden en-
ergy and rapidity of military action, at the
moment the new loan had been opened with
ITS decisive manifestation of public conf
dence, and also, as it is rulnOred, immedl-
ately on the return Of secret agents who
have already ascertained that England and
Francr will not abet in any manner the
atrocious treason Of the seeding conspira-
tors, nor the barbarous ends for which 1t
was undertaken-are condolences supposed
to indicate the development Of pre-deter-
mined policy which had been held waiting
only for a survey Of the field.
There is, however, no reason TO apprehend
invasion or coercion Of the rebelliOus
States-unless u repel attack is held an Of
1cnsive act, according to the newfaDgled
theory Of a nOn-resistant government. As
little will the enemies-ol their country find
their theory Of Z" truce which would be
violated by any act or preparation for self
defence on the part OF the Union they are IN
arms sagainst-respected by the United States,
which now begins once more to look Ike one
Of the powers Of the world. Every available
vessel is under sealed orders, and fitting out
with the heaviest possible munitions of war,
and with despatch which allows no inter
riI dion for food or sleep. The steamships
Baltic and Atlantic are purchased by the
Government Tor war purposes, Of course.
Troops are rapidly concentrating at this port
nearly 5000 already collected-and as
many more coming from Texas, which looks
as il t4at interesting and amiable community
would soon find its hands full in dealing with
its own conEeuial neighb0rs. At the same
time the indications Of the immediate move
ment Of the tt ops from here are unmistake-
able, but nothing points towards their des-
tination or direction. Unfortunately for the
conspirators, they have now no pals in
the Cabinet to keep them informed of the
secrets Of the Government, and We are all
alike in the dark. May the God of our IA
theirs direct, inspire and sustain the men who
nJw bold in trust the honor of our hitherto
glorious country, and the dsstinies of our
pOsteritv
