ponder over public affairs, is that clause
of the Presidents Message in which he
proposes that part of the national obi
cations shall be Icpudiatcd. Words iun
high on the subject, Republicans hold
ing as in duty bound, that the national
honor will be disgraced by entertaining
any such proposition favorab y; and
Democrats, equally bodnd in honor to
sustain the aryument of their leader,
insist that reputation is morally right,
or that the Pr nsident do 's not desire to
see anybody wronged, or the country's
honor sullied. Would that our legisla
tors could devise somf means whereby
our financial condition mighv be ale
waited Business is dull, money is
tight, the commerce of the country is
suffering, and and poverty stalks cold
and naked throu h our streets. With
such natural resources rs are pos
ssed by no other country on the
globe, with willing hands to develop
them, and with unequalled intelligence
to turn them to the best advantage, and
with institutions and laws which foster
and protect every species of industry,
we are lame ntably poor, deeply in debt,
and day by day becoming the hypo-
chon driacal p, ople between the | oles.

vice of the end man in the minstrel

in case of monetary embarrassment,
every man has sufficient II mber of
influential brothers-in-law to relieve
him. Morton's proposal to redeem
greenbacks and fractional shin-plasters
in coin is received here with much favor,
and if put to the vote of those who hold
those paper evidences of richness, would
be accepted unanimo sly. 1t is to be
regretted that Mr.. Morton, " o has
always appeared to be far sighted man
and one deeply interested in the public
welfare withal, has not prop sed plan
for the redemption in coin of those ad
mirably courtcrfeited stamps which in
so large measure constitute the me-
