So much for the 'specie currency' democracy!
Si much for the hatred of 'the party' to the Hank mjs. We thus see that while in 10 years under Monroe and Adams the Hank Capital was increased kiidghi millions, in .1 years under (Jen. Jackson it Lis increased fighiy-sir millions; and if to this add the increase since the 1st January of last rear, which we estimate at 10 millions, there will bn increase of 0r.,00 J,000! It w ill thus be seen that while under Monroe and Adams, 15 ink Capital, the aristocratic monopoly, increased at a rate much less than a million a ver, that under the 'specie currency' rule, it has
Forty Years Aoo. Literature meant solid
learning, and was supported by common sense.
ivenneu nonsense had no advocates, and was pretty genernlly kicked out of doors. Forty years ego men oT property could labor, and wear homespun to church. Women could spin and weave, make butter and cheese, whose husbands were worth thousands. Forty years ago there were but few merchants in the country few insolvent debtors, and very rarely a person imprisoned for debt. Forty years ago the young ladies of the first respectability learned music, but it was the humming of the wheel, nnd learned the necessary Fteps of dancing in following it. Their forte piano was a loom, their parasol a broom, and their novels the Hi hie. Forty years ago the young gentlemen hoed

Light beginning tty shine in the Fast. Several Papers in A ermont are advocating the claims of t.enera Harrison for the Presidency.

How to avoid Deafness. Tew need to be told, that if they wish to hear well, and avoid deafness, they must guard against wet feet, thin shoes, e.dd currents, and draughts of air, keepingon wet clothes, sleeping in damp rooms and unaired beds, going into the night air from heated apartments, living in marshy and low situations, v;c. Shnnninir tllese things, those who would retain their hearing unimpaired till old age, should attend to theirgeneial health. breathe a pure air,take as :mu h cut-door exercise as they can, live on plain, but nutritious food, keep the mind calm and tranquil, and be especially careful to prevent constipation of the bowels.

Hanking: Col. Crockett used to tell a good storv of the Arkansas Hanks.

He went a trapping one season, and had greai luck. Collecting his duds, he trudged ell" to the Hank with the plunder and drew the money, which took pretty much all their available funds, as he threw oil' 50 per

Semite of thc Failed Stales. We remark in the New Hampshire Patriot a political classification of he present Senate, to which we are inclined to pay more deference than to the majority of newapaper speculations, believing it to have been prepared with the approval if not by the hand of Hon. Isaac Hill, one of the Senators Irom that State. This table claims Messrs. Hendricks and Tipton of Indiana, King of Ala. and all the new Senators as friends of Mr. Van Huron, but concedes Mr. M'Kcan of Pa. as well as Mr. Hlake of Miss, to the Opposition exhibiting an aggregate of "JM Van Huron. '.".Anti-Van Huron. This coincides with our own impressions; and renders nearly certain the confirmation of all the President's nominations, with the possible exception of that of Mr. Taney as Chief Justice. With regard to the 'expunging' operation, we believe that, if attempted at this time.
it would be at once met by a motion to amend hy
substituting 'rescind' foi 'expunge,' w hich would prevail, and, thus modified, the resolution would probably bo carried. Should Messrs. Tvler and

Hefore the celebration of 1 1 ei r nupt ials, there was a mce'.ing of friends at the house of th' lady's father, to settle the articles of the marriage contract, when it was agreed that the dowry should be paid down on the wedding day or soon after. On this occasion there was commonly a feast, at the conclusion of w hich, the man gave to the woman a ring as a pledge, which she put on the fourth finger of her left hand, because it was believed that a nerve reached from thence to the heart, and a day was then fixed for the marriage."

From the nature of our institutions, the move ments of the Government, in the preparation of hostilities must ever he too slow for the exigencies of unexpected war. I submit it then to v ou, whether the f.rst duty we owe to (he pec pie who have contided lo us (heir pow er, is not. to place our country in such an attitude as alw avsto he so amply supplied with the means ef self-defence as to nflord no inducements toother nations to presume upon our forbearance, or to expet t important advantages from a sudden assault, either upon our commerce, our seacoasl. or our interior frontier. In case of thc commencement of hostilities during (he recess of Congress, the time necessarily ( lapsing before that body could be brought together, even under the most favorable circumstances, would be pregnant with danger, and if we escape without signal disaster or national dishonor, the hazard of both unnecessarily incurred could not fail lo excite a feeling "of deep reproach. 1 enrnes'.ly commend to vou, thereiore, to make such provisions that in no future time shall we be found without ample means to repel aggression, even although it may come upon us w ithout a note of w arning. We are now fortunately sosiluated that the expenditure for this purpose v. ill no be felt, and if it were, it would be approved by these from w hom all its means arc derived, and for whose benefit only it should be used with a liberal economy and an enlightened forecast. In behalf of those suggestions, 1 cannot forbear repenting thc wise precepts of one whore counsels cannot be forgotten: "The United States (ught not to indulge a persuasion that contrary to the order of human events, they will forever keep at a distance those painful appeals to arms w ith w hich (he history of ev
