If it in said that more than fifty millions of tie proceeds of those debt are invested in bank stock, and that tbear bank stocks are' raf- investuieiiis and proiiiabie to the states, 1 reply that either iiae investments are. not safe, or can not con til me to bo pro'i table. Fank investments are not sate, because we have twice ai many banks in the Fnited States as wa? siiould h.avo. In ISUdwehad tltreo hundred and twenty la. nk j end branches, and the count rv was pro -p rr:n. Wc have now nine hundred. v. t - - -1 ; - i a ...n... --i-o'vai-; iod.- ; : to 1 1 ir increase of population and bushier a. would allow tons a'oouf four hundred bank:-, now. Hut we have nine hundred. wo have live hundred too many. Some of ih an arc breaking continually, and an roen as a bank of the Fnited States is established and specie payment-, are enforced, the balaiioo of the five hundred must break, and the stockholders loco a large, portion of their capital. The great dividends which b.-.nk stool; fnaa paid for noopt aia. past, wer- caused at first by the excessaxe issues of bank paper, and have lately been continued bv shaving on exchanges. The first ha-- ceased that evil cured itself. Tiie second will ::o-.--n cease. For the goose noarlv dead the last egg has been extracted. The solvent banks, eravoieHv the Wed, nurd rpend the n t ire yea rs in securing ana . iectmg taeir ueots. and conseejuentlv murt use their money in assisting their deb;;);-.--, or ail will be lost, lid-oik flividendf lvreaft for sotne years, wiil not exceed six per cent, if they equal that. There must be many lesser, and there can not'ae any more shaving. If it bo said, that the amount invested in internal improvement?, will bo productive, 1 a-Vr rtthat for soma yearn, it will net. Avery larg- portion is invested in mere apeculative undertakings, and another large portion in unfinished works. For man v years to come the profits from internal improvements will not pay the expenses neces.an' ro keep the finished works in repair, and. th unfinished, works from dilapidation. If any or." doubts f his. let him consider th" situation of lilmoir.of Indiana, of IVnnvl'. ,riia,

It seems to me, then clear, that the in

terest on t'uebta of the states, twelve millions of dollar? per year, if paid by the states from their own rcource.i, must be raised be direct taxes on the people. And in my next, I will consider t'.ii 3 q -t.. n of taxation. f fc'AMUF.L Jl "DAiL ...,H9 I ' o r tlit- V i:iii'iii:t'b tto.

Editor: The lecture delivered in the Fveriim on Tuesday evening hn.-t, by the Hon. Jehu Law. surpassed ihe anticipations of his most ardent admirers, and was worthy the author of that superlative production, which lias carried his literary fame bevond the bounds of our Faion, ;oid wafted his name across the winds and waves of the broad Atlantic. He has drank deeply of nature'-: fountain. His langu ijre was elegant, class-icsl and poweiful; his knowledge comprehensive, minute, and accurative: bis en;iments were elevated, devout and (m m 1ny instances) sublime. His reasoning was natural, convincing and, coneiuive. The study of natural philosophy cbvelope? in its contemplation the. eleaient of iiivine wisdom, in the physical, intelectual and moral structure of the world we inherit and enjoy. It embraces and combines such an lnfonUide of materials to invite and enlighten the expansive mind of man, that we are constrained to hail with joy ihe epoch whieh spreads before us, the field of philosophical en quiry in that fascinating and instructive j form which exercises an attractive influence over the sexes of every age and condition of life. The publication of such a lecture would be of vast importance to the community. FETER SIMPLE. Yiner lines Ft b. 1 8 1 1 . Tor the Vinceiincs 'J.ir.ettr. M;;.

Pesohrd, That tiiere, is a peculiar propriety in seeking aid from the legislature not only as the proper object of legislation, is the rafcry and welfare of tho community, but because, previous legislation has (unintentionally no doubt) contributed in no small degree to rpt ead and perpetuate, the evils resulting from tippling. S.
