NEWS OF THE WEEK.

FYom the I'nited States Gazette. MR. JOHNSON'S PLAN OF AIDING THE STATES. Public attention must be given ere long to the plan now proposed by Mr. Johnson, of Mary - land, for relieving the Stales of n portion of thc-ir insupportable burthens, and at the same time and by the same means, supplying the community at large with a specie or 'currency which iu many cases will be found sf great value. We have not copied the tetters of Mr. J. ontha subject, principally because we have from time t time laid before our readers the same, or a similar plan, projected and enforced oy a Fennsylvanian; a man, however, who is; muc.i more anxious to nave ttie scheme adoptea oy tne i.overnment, than to have the credit of it projection. We hear occasionally, certain specific objections, which is much easier to meet and refute, than it is to remove impressions made by indefinite general objections.

r or example, it is asked whj the National iae second noor, m an abject state ofsuilcrOovernnient should involve itself in a debt of mjr"two hundred millions of dollars in order to re-! 11 wa evident that the window was their onlieve .from inconvenience the States w Inch j l mean: of escape, and the mob which had have hurried themselves by improvidence into ; now increased to neatly 100 persons, shouted obligations beyond their means of fulfilment." out t0 t,iem to hold on until some ladders were Were this the exact state of the case, and all i b""ght, while others called to them to jump th case the query would have much more out- t,ne P0o" creatine got one of her le"s weight than we are supposed to allow it. Dut ' orer the S'U of the window, and after remain-

ii strikes us tint tne true features are not represented; we admit that these States which are indebt have unanimously placed themselves in the position they now occupy; we wish not now to defend them, and we desire not in the present remarks to inquire whether it was individual foil-, working upward to the Commonwealth, that made the wrong, or whether it was the rash impolicy, of a late national administration that knocked awav the support upon which the people leaned in' safety, and placed m its stead' a broken reed and list, and left a spear, on whose sharp points public credit and private enterprise lie wounded and bleeding. The effect and the remedy are enough forthe present. 3 Many of the States or the Union are deeply in debt, and so Tar as regards the immediately available mean?, they are hopelessly in debt. Some or the States are talkins or repudiation some practising it openlv; and others talkin against it and yet sliding into the practice i ma s.aie oi amirs is so general, that abroad lhf n...llr ,rt im a ... 1: i uuuci .-Manning now parts may be rotten and the whole sound, have connected the nation with the general insolvencv, and as t..u,M vm uicir suspicion, nave openly refused u una money upon tne faith of the "Cmted orates oj America. Some time since the ConarcM nm,o f:t.i States solemnly acknowledged the claims of the inamcuai Mates to the lands which are held . " propriety, ana administered bv the Fener al Government. Every State, therefore in the Y""' "as a Claim to undivided portion of thi land, just as much as the children era landhol uer, ueceaseu intestate, have a claim to lands. These States do not ask a partition the property, but the proposition is, to say the creditor of those several debtors, "her property of undoubted value, nn.1 mni,(oji. belonging to the debtor States; you do not need the lands, the General Government tw I.-.-ted and continues to act as trustees of the States tor mis property, will become responsible Tor i.-uuls noming lands often times the val u. s coii:nierat security, and whenever she sells portions of these lands, each State shall be creauea u miner portion or the net proceed on the amount ofissues. bv wav oramti,. i The result or such a course, if promptly adop ted and f uthfully carried out.would seeWtobi tne insurance or a renewal or confidence the ,"IU""IUI1U1 oiaiecreuit, and what is orconse qu?nce to every American, the removal or stigmi upon the American character abroad. n is asKea again, "why should Delaware New lersey, and other States be called upon to take the stock or the Government, when thev are not in debt?-' They should not be thus caueu on ot course, irthey do not wish to re ceive llie notes, let them take the money which i;ieu uoies produce, and thev may profit in their public schools by the proceeds which other oiaies require to pay their debts. This is a mere reference to the argument; w are aware that some persons maintain that th puonc tonus ao not belong to the States. Pnn press has decided differently, and everv one Knows that it nil the States do not take th 1 - 1 . . lanas icry soon, tne new states will claim the witote as tnetr own. Hepeal of the Banlmpt ltw. We had hoped that the almost universal resort or the deeply imitoieu iaies to tne precious Star Law and Valuation Law expedients, whereb'v the col lection ofdebtsisulterlt suspended. won! J have awakent ttie Representatives of the Creditor interest in Lonjressto the infinite mischiefs o Repealing ttie R inkrupt Law. We were mis taken, and sadly do we confess it. Henceforth v,.u ricm m irauauient assignments, rascan compromises, irregular and fluctuating laws, passed and transformed at the caprice of twenty-six Legislatures, is to govern the colircuon. or rainer.non-collectioii of debts. Now, the "Relief' principle will flourish in all its ptory : v henever any community falls in ui-ui. ii ui ii y io us legislature Tor some Stay Law to relieve it from the trouble of pavinir....u uiL- ouiy ume wnen collection laws will be allowed any validity is just when thev amuttiu vw nvillllli;. c naa nopea oetter things of this Con gress. e naa Hoped that it would act ud to flirt f.,.. . .. . . ... oouu ..uu?friauTp mono '-1'reserve and rguKue-noi destroy.

Now we have uiue nope irom tne Senate, and not much more from the President. But if John Tvler would just Veto this bill and plainly tell Congress to make ar)of Bankrupt Law. if thi i not one, we will forgive him about any act of folly. .V. V. Tribune. Japax Next.

J Directly afterwards the other precipitated herseirm a similar manner; but fortunately her fall was in a slight way broken by nlihting on the lead front or the shop window. Before being picked up she proved to be dreadHilly injured. The other unfortunate sufferer proved to be dead. She was recognised to be Julia Holland, and the other her sister, Nancy Holland, youngVomen under the nge of three and twenty. At one o'clock in the morning, the bodies of tw-o children were found among the rafters or the flooring, on thesaeoil floor, shockingly burnt and disfigured. Shortly after another body or a child was round on the same floor apparently a girl of about six years. Among several other bodies found were that or an elderly female and two children i. i. impossible to identify the others, nothing iemaiuing but their trunks, which are burned to a blackened cinder. Great Trc t Liverpool. The Liverpool Courier of Dec. 29ih, says, on Thursday morning last we had another or those destructive conflagrations which have given Liverpool such unenviable notoriety. In a verv short space ot time, a turpentine distillery, two large .i.msr, urn oi goons, and some smaller buildings were entirely consumed.

It seems that considerable torrents or lava are flowing in the direction or Bronte. The damage already done is said to be immense. Several smart shocks or an earthquake had "TCuit-u muiesoutnern parts or Wales and Cornwall. Thomas Thornely, Esq., one or the members for W olverhampton, in the House orCommotis, connected for many years with the United States as a merchant at Liverpool, has recently returned rrom visiting the principal cities in the Union. He addressed a large meeting or his constituents on the 23d nit. He pointed out forcibly the advantages which both countries would derive ftom a free trade in corn, and advocated the policy of the Vnliv,uru ljw L-eaguem agitation so successfully for a measure so important and beneficial. In matters or commerce, the long experience, and enlightened views possessed by Mr. Thornely, gave great weight to his opinions in the assembly or which he is a member. Miss Manners, a handsome young lady, need 23, and possessing a fortune ir five thousand pounds, recently eloped with and married a policeman, whom she had seen but once before.

The reflections in the Report are well-timed. V hen i our Independence was declared, one half the world was sealed against t.s. The Sandwich Islands were yet undiscovered, and China, with her countless millions, was pent in sullen separation and seclusion from the rest ormankind.

If the Whiff nartr were nil inuuenced by theexperience of the nast.it would see that the cause or all its reverces. and nf th slow progress or its principles, lies in its want or a proper organization. As soon as the elec-i lions are over the nartv seems to disband nn,i to disolve away without leaving any central organization to rally & dsiciple its forces in sea son ior a new campaign. However carlessly this oversight may have been committed heretoiore it cannot be repeated in the Presidential contest, which is approaching without the most disatrous consequences to our Drosneets of suc cess. That the Whigs have a numerical major-1 .ui circiorsoi me wtiole union we do not doubt, but that they can call out all that force is another question. They have command of me greater portion of the press the most powV"" y--rie oi opinion yet established in the Aiuiiiticcities is against them.

With such an organization, which is ns us ii is simple, the hig party would be able at any time to bring its entire strength into the field.
