from this city that str, Spinner, the new

ties belonging to this t1sist fund hare, from

part, and replaced, sometimes By the SAINT, ,and
at Other times BY other securities. The sus-
picion il that theI wefe Used to Speculate
with. Tennessee bonds to the amount Of $685.
66666 were so withdrawn on the .31st Of Jau-
uarY, 1855, and have never been replsced in
kind or by others. The Treasurer, who Is In
no way pscun!arily responsible tor the safe
keeping OF these papers, has suggested In q
letter to Secretary Chase the propriety OF ask
ing authority from Congress to sell these Sc
curfties, place the money nccfuing from sucl
sale IN The National Treasury, issue therefor q

Louisiana ia the purchase Of the u1tion
It was bought not so much with view to
territorial expansion as to add to our
power and permanence by securing the
possession Of an important key to the con-
tinent, and by giEing to the West free
outlet to the ocean. The material neces-
sity which impelled its purchase was so
great that, in the estimation Of Jefferson,
it over1ode. all objections founded upon d
want Of the requisite Constitutional power.
That necessity has increased steadily with
the growth ot population and the develop
ment of the resources Of the Wes. If
it was greater Than the Constitution
when our population was only q few
hundred thousand, is it any less now that
our population he's grown to moro than
twelve millions? And if the Federal Gov
ernment deemed the possession Of Louisi.
ana so important IN 1903, that to secure it
an extra-Constitutiona1 act was hazarded,
ought not the retention Of it NOW to be
thought Of sufficient importance to engage
IN acts that are strictly constitutional We
think it time these questions were being
seriously considered. The imposition oi
duties by the Montgomery Congress upon
the products of The West, seek
ing g. market through the Miss.
issippi, is. an Infringement upon
natural right, right secured by pur,
chase, and right guaranteed by law. We
Do not believe this three-1old right will bt
willingly surrendered given up without I
struggle. The article which we copy this
morning from the Nashville Democrat
shows that the loyal people Of Tennessee
ara giving the subject consideration. Those
Of Kentucky and Missouri are doing the
same. Now what has the Northwest te
ssy in relation to the matter? It is time
her potent voice was being heard

The music. Of the drum aud file stil talutes

Fort Sumter, still oHends or makes GLAD the

when ind hows These are the questions heard
OF all sides, morning, noon, and night. Unde-
niably, within the past week, muen i'll feeling,
q sort Of petulance, has grown up and spread
among all cltsses, In consequence Of the non
action qe the Government in regard to Auder-
scn. Many, who before believed the profess
aions were sincere, aud that the Fort would be
evaeuated, now doub:; others, who before
doubted, profess to be confirmed in their
doubts. On the whole; do not remember to
have aeeh this community 80 ''rlled up" as at
the present moment. Tt Is not, however, from
this single caase alone The hard and dull
grow harder and duller. The tariff arrange
nent is oppressive in It's operation, clogs
trade, makes everything not produced here
(and but a small share Of what ia consumed Isl
dear, daranges the order OF business, and i'm
poses . tax on consumers, who now are notan
q condition to bear It.
A'praeticai difficulty has arisen at the outset
of the attempt to entorce tue tariff law Of 1s47,
not only here but generally in the seced1nE
States. It arises from the lack uf specie to
pay the duties: Banks generally ara in state
Of suspension, and will no: OF cannot afford

great Inconvenience III consequence of the.
Withdrawal Of specie from circulation, in
carrying on tho very limited transactions Of
ordinary trade, Here the notes Of tie State
Bank Of South Carolina only. are current ia
business, but they are. not received in The
payment Of duties. This new inconvenience
ls likely TO be g Permanent one, and tbs source
Of increasing Irritation. Should the bunk sus-
pension laws be repealed, 1t is questionable
whether = greater evil would not be produced
thereby. This, as q measure Of relief, is pro-
posed in Rone Of the Safes, and, / believe,
there is q bill for this purpose before the
GeoEE!a Convention noR.
Nor does the proposed JEFF: Davis thrift
promise remedy. shrewd men begin to dis
cover that, r th the Border States still in the
Union, the practical effect of the laws opera
ton will be, that while ihe North; or some
parts Of 1t, will have the benefit Of free goods
over the roads Of the Border States, the South
will have to pay duty on most 81 what they
consume, which the North Will supply. It Is
manifest on sill hands that the JEFF Davis
