If we take a ceneral view of the coun trv at this tune, what do we behold? In the first place, the draughts upon the Gen eral Government every where protested; complaints lrom all quarters against those in otliee tor their unauthorized ami impolitic interference with the currency of the country; the Government bankrupt, and forced to borrow largely to keep its wheels in motion, and a general suspension ot specie payments throughout the whole I'nion. If we look to the north, we see the great importing interests prostrate, leaving nothing but a wreck of their greatness and prosperity money seaiee a general cry of distress all kinds ot produce down, and to complete their disasters, the larro manufacturing establishments tiis-eharging their hands and stopping business, thus throwing upon the community without employment, some of our most useful and industrious class of citizens, and nnnv of them without the means of subsistence. If we turn our eyes to the South, we see it slid worse. The hanks drained of their specie cotton low from the scarcity of provisions and depreciation of bank p'nper, even the necessaries of lite with difficulty obtained negroes selling for less than the half they were bought for in the fill real estate if any thing, below its value, and going dow n all trade and business suspended, and nothing seen or heard hut ruin, and a general prostration of all commercial transactions. Look at the west, with its neh and fertile foil, salubrity of climate, and variety of products even it has not escaped the pffects of experimenting and ill-advised measures cf the General Government, tho' lirht compared with the north and south. Our banks have all stopped specie payment the credit of some (amongst which i our owtO remaining unimpaired and uns fleeted, but that of others very much shaken produce plenty, but th? price declining all improvements arrested, and a want of confidence throughout the w hole country in northern and southern batiks and securities. As vet we have rich lands, plenty to lire comfortably upon, and nothing to discourage industry and enterprise, but it will be well for us if we esape thus lightly. It becomes us therefore to look and see what will be our situation a few months hence what public measures and interests will be overthrown unless sustained by wisdom and f-resight, und what in our opinton should be done to avert from us the effects of the storm, which has raged with such unexampled iry- in nthrr parts of the I'nion. This we propose doing in our next. The Kev. I'ishop Kemper will preach ii the Presby tei ian Church to-morrow jnorning at a quarter past 10 o'clock. In the evening at early candlelight he will dr liver an address to the voung men of this place.

the long-contemplated expedition against Matamoras, and say that sdthough there is a stromr nartv in favor of it, vet that the farmers generally were opposed to it.The measure was to be proposed and discussed in Congress, and we must there tore wait natientlv ttieir iieeision. How ever, I must here repeat what I have of ten observed in the course of mv corres pondence, namely, that the Texan Govern inent is not in a condition to keep up much longer its present minions military establishment, beside its navy, anil that consequently, either, two-thirds of the vol unteers must he discharged, and the country left exposed to an invasion, or the whole army must move westward, and form a reserve at the la 15aca with the thousands of volunteers that would (lock to Texas from every section of the I'nited Suites. If the advices received from Pensaeola are correct Commodore Dallas must by this time have sailed for the Mexican coa. i, in order to bring the Mexicans to their srnse:but considering thejgreat excitement which prevailed in Mexico against the mrri.vms. at the latest dales, it is rattier doubtful -w hether lie will succeed. I tie people wished for a war with the Lnited states, and loudly called lor it, very little thinking of the fatal consequences wmer. must ensue to them. The government of late has acted with moderation, of which the best proof is that it would not sanction the embargo on American vessels at Tampico and Matamoras, and that it required full explanation from the com manders of the vessels of war, as also from the Governor of Matamoras and Vera Cruz in relation to the late occur ences there, in order to be wi'.h a defence of the acts committed against Ameiican vessels, or to obtain redress, should the Mexican officers have executed their duty. I have been informed that various adventurers solicited letters marque against American merchant vessels, especially those in the Pacific Sea, and that IJustamente refused them stating that matters had not yet arrived at a crisis. Now as I stated in my last, he had then just dissolved the ministry of Tornel, and form ed his new administration, and from the elements of whien it is constituted, we mav reasonably expect that the President Mill endeavor to relieve the country from the chaos of confusion and anarchy in which his predecessors have involved it, and endeavor to bring about a satisfactory adjustment of the dillicullies pending with the 1". States, in the same manner as he has done with the French government. That a movement on the part of thcTexans towards Matamoras at this juncture, would throw insurmountable obsticlcs in the way of friendly arrangement with the dined States, is unquestionable, for the Mexicans would say that such movement had been concerted with the American government; but you and your readers know too well that the Texians have been talking about that expedition two months ogo, and if they carry it into effect and I think thev will they intend to go to Mexico on their own hook. Credit the Voor IVIan's Life. Wealth is the result of Production and Production is the result of combined application ot Labor, and Capital. With out capital, it is obvious that labor can do but little: and capital is quite as help less without the aid of labor. '.'" in- . . . . L. i- I I 1 -I icn-Ms men oi laoor anu capital aic anncident not antagonist. Any state of things w hich benefits the laborer benefits the capitalist; and when the capitalist suffers the laborer cannot escape from a participation in his misfortunes. Theie can be no production without capital. Hut should all production be therefore confined to the capitalist.' Should those who have all the capital he permitted to engross all the production? Certainly not. The arge capitalist cannot superintend the employment of all his means, with advantage to himself or the community. What then is ho to do with

it. He must loan it tlien to men in business, who do need it whose capital is honesty, industry, knowledge of ttieir business, and punctuality in fulfilling their engagements a capital situated altogether in their heart, head and hands. He loans therefore a portion of his capital to a ship-builder as much more to a manufacturer to a mason a -wool-merchant a house-builder an importer a fanner a silk grower and to men engaged in various other branches of domestic industry. Thus by the process Credit, the rich man's capital is so distributed as to produce the greatest possible amount of good to society. It stimulates productive industry. It creates a demand for labor. It of course raises the wages of labor, which like every thing else, depend upon the relative demand and supl''.v Being thus possessed of the rich man s capital, the manufacturers, the farmers, the mechanics, the merchants go to work upon it. They employ labor. They have the means of pay ing labor, and cither weekly or daily the wages of labor -are paid. The laborer is not asked to work upon credit, lie receives his prompt remuneration. He runs no risk. All that the borrowing and lending in the case has done is to give him employment and wages. When the products of combined capital, credit and labor, then, are thrown into the market w hen the corps are raised the ships built the houses erected and the broadclothcs and kerseymeres ready for the counter of the retailer what is the situation of the laborer? He has found employment and received his wages, lie has eaten, drunk, and been clothed. Whatever may be the loss on the products of his labor his ow n share of its results is secure. How is it with the employer and the capitalist? The state of markets may be such that the ships, houses, and woollens may all be sold at a profit. In that ease all parties are gainers. The capitalist is paid for his capital the merchat or manufacturer is paid for his

credit and enterprise and the laborer suf fers nothing, because his employers have reaped a benefit corresponding to their respective interests. But how is it when the .reverse of all this is the case? How is it when the results of production will not bring an equivalent for the capital consumed and the laborer employed? How is it when the houses and ships are sold at a loss' Who suffers in this case? The laborer? Not at all. He has received his nay in advance, it is the em clover, who is thus unable to fulfil his engagements with the capitalist, and thereby lose his Credit: and the lender himself, who receives bitek oulv a portion of his advantages, and thus lose a portion of his Capital. Who then suffers from the system of Credit? Who runs all the risks, and sustains all the losses of the system? The Capitalist. Who derives all the benefit, in the stimulation of enterprise, the competition for labor, and the consequent advance of wages? The laborer. Who can get along very well without credit? All whom credit has hitherto employed. Suppose Mr. Bullion, after having loan ed to tiis own profit and that of his bor rowers at any rate to the benefit of all the laborers whom his capital has employed shall become all at once a convert to General Jackson's notions, and make up his mind that all w ho do husinesson bor i - i i ,. loweu capital ought to nreak. Having become a good administration man, he calls in his loans. He says to the ship builder merchant house-builder mason mechanic "pay up. W hat becomes of all the industry they have set in motion? What becomes of the labor thev have paid? It is of ne cessity discharged. Hundreds are thrown out of employment. There is a compe tition for occupation. Wages fall, and if all capitalists imitate Mr. Bullion's axamplc, and act upon General Jackson s prin ciples, great distress inevitably ensues. Meanwhile Mr. Bullion's million of capital, when collected from those who have been employing it, remains unloaned and unused, and the means which once fed and clothed thousan Is of human beings, now feed only the selfishness and avarice of a single indiviual. And the men who have joined the crusade against credit claim to he the poor man's friends! They shut up your manufactories they bankrupt your merchants thev destroy confidence thev diminish : prices of labor, ot deprive it of em ployment they spread about them gencal distress, dismay anil despair and then proclaim in exultation that all this they do from their affection for the poor! Let us ask the poor what benefit have you ever derived from this class of individuals? Have the most clamorous of them ever done any thing for vour advance ment? Is it Fly Moore and Churchill C. Cambreling who have distributed millions on millions in the wages of labor or is it the merchant whom they have been daily assailing for paying these millions from the resources of the capitalists? Is it William foster who pays his annual millions to the laborers of Massachusetts, or is it Abbott Lawrence, And yet is it the daily effort of such individuals as Cambreling, Moore and Foster to excite the distrust, the envy, the animosities of the working classes against the men whose industry, capacity and resources furnish them with daily employment and daily bread and against that very system of credit which alone provides the poor with an equivalent for the capital of the rich. Boston Atlas. Important Discovery. A gentleman of this city has made one of the greatest discoveries which has been madejsince the davs of Franklin; He

has discovered the laws which govern the ton could get no specie to pay the nieweather! This secret which mankind chanias engaged upon works at the ar-

have been for thousand:! of years endeavoring to penetrate, has been found out bv James P. Fpsy, Esq. Like most other operations oi Nature, he has ascertained that the weather is regulated by fixed unalterable laws simple, easily explained, and easily understood. He can inform a captain of a vessel how to tell whether there is a storm raging any wlrcre within live hundred miles of him, and how he must steer to get just as far from the storm as he pleases, and and of course have just as much or little wind as he pleases. He can inform how always to abtain a supply of pure fresh water at sea how to ascertain exactly the height of the base of a cloud, and whether it will be accompanied with violent wind, and how he must steer if he would avoid it, cc. As the same laws govern storms on land, as well as storms at sea, it must be interesting not only to mariners and merchants, but also to farmers and mechanics, and in ftct to evciy body in greater or less degree, in proportion as their business or pleasure depends upon the state of the weather. The writer heard him not long s:.nec deliver a lecture before the governor, the members of the senate and house of representatives, at Hariisburg, Pennsylvania. It is a curious coincidence that the great discovery of Franklin and F.psy should have been made in Philadelphia. United Slates (iazette. Translated from the Litcra'eur Fraaeai.se. Important Chemical Discovery. We are. in France, on the eve of a new kind of revolution, which will, without doubt, make the tour of the world. Chemists haie just discovered a process by which they can remove writing from any paper without leaving the slightest mark which might lead to the suspicion of fraud. No ink can resist the power of this composition, and no kind of paper can retain the character it bears. That the government might lie satisfied of the dangerous natrue of this discovery, a chemist went to the prefecture of police, and requested a passport for a stranger, which was granted immediately. The next day the same chemist went to the house of the prefecture himself, and showed hirn a passport in blank, signed with his own hand. "It was only yesterday," said he, "that this passport was given mc at your effice; and if this is the way the police conducts, no wonder that Don Carlos could traverse from one end of France to the other in order to reach Spain!" The prefect astonished, sent for all the agents of his otliee. All denied that they ever delivered this tin form natejpassport; but they finally agreed that it was certainly the signature of the prefect w hich it bore, the particular kind of paper which was used in the otliee of polic. and the royal stamp with which it was impressed. It had already become a subject of legal inquiry, of deposition from otliee, te., when the chemist appeased the anger of the prefect and the fears of his agents, by explaining the means which he had used to remove the writing. One of the iirsti bankers of the Capital maintained thst the act of washing alone, by the means of a writcn paper should be returned to its virgin whiienes, would leave some marks by which it could be detected. The same chemist, who was in epistolary correspondence with this banker, took a letter which he had formally received from him, removed the writing by this composition except the signature, wrote above it an acceptance for a hundred francs, payable to the bearer. This acceptance was presented to the cashier, who pr id it immediately, and the banker was convinced that he himself should have taken it. The public treasury has suffered by this discovery. In fact, the sale of stamped paper is not near so large as before, for any one may restore, by means of this wash, leaving the stamp, itc, old papers, which are no longer of any use. Several chemists arc now occupied in prejwiring an ink which shall be truly indelible; others in m-ikinga paper which shall be proof against this terrible discovery. In the mean time government has changed its strmp. The new one bears the cypher of the year, and must be renewed on the first of Jan uary. The 'Wheeling Times lately expressed a hone, that Mai. Brant did not trust to the Bet Banks, to obtain 'gold and silver to pay for horses for the second regiment of drairoons, remarking if he did, that his 'cake was dough,' and that he might find it hard work to "raise the dounh." We can inform the editor of the Times, now, that Maj. Brant's 'cake is dough," and that he cannot raise it any way he can tii it. hen it was announced mat payment of a 'horse check' had been refused at the counter of the Bank, just be fore the suspension of specie payments by the Pet here, we supposed that Maj. Brant, who was President of the Adviso ry Hoard, and acquainted with all its intentions would take care to provide funds enough for the purchase of the necessary number of horses before the Banks failed to meet its enirasrements. lie did not, howevrer, do it. The money cannot new be had, an the dragoons must go itit-hors-ed, precisely as the troops are left unpaid. When the Bet Bank closed its doors, it had half a dozen times as much specie as was necessary for the payment of the drafts in favor of the different disbursing officers. But Maj. Nasies could ,get no money to pay the troops at Fort Crawford, who are now under orders to an inhospitable clime to die Capt. Syraing-
