REVENUE BILL.,

In the Senate of Illinois, on the 11th instant, Mr. Hacker, Chairman of the Committee on Internal Improvements, reported tbe following Bill, to sustain permaneatly the character and credit of tbe State. "The committee conceive it t» he their duty tt present such a financial view of the affairs of the State, as appears to them to be in conformity with truth and propriety and here they would advert to the mistaken impression, which has gone abroad in the community, that nearly the whole of oar public debt has been created by the system oflnternal Improvements, when, in fact, but a small portion, about

valorem taxation on re

al estate might tlms&s increased to forty cents on the one

hundred

dollars, without

,i__ .f the country. The estimated value oi the reafestate might be put down at $48,000,000 and it is not thought to be an extravagant calculation, taking into consideration the vast increase of taxable lands. Sound policy would seem to require that all kinks of stacks should be taxed, except the stocks ot such Institutions as shall pay a bonus to the State alho, that merchants, brokers, &c. should be taxed lor State purposes. From these sources, and from oar Bank dividends, it may be safely calculated that we can provide a permanent revenue, greatly exceeding our revenue at present.

In the present condition of our affairs, the committee do not think it expedient to cripple or deetroy our Banking Institutions, but rather do they advise to foster and cherish them? and, by proper limitations, to cheek and control them, so as to make their agency subservient to the advancement of the public good. An increase of the Banking capital to the amount of three millions, it is believed would give increased facilities to the revenues of the State. Much unnecessary feeling exists upon this latter proposition, and tbe simple mention of it will call forth the indignant rebuke of a certain class of politicians, who are honestly opposed to thin measure yet the safety and well being of our State, and its existing Institutions, are dearer to us than the approval oftljose who are niwoysspeculatingupon vain theories, which are totally impracticable.

If the proposal were to create new banks, the question wonld present quite a different aspect. But as legislators, we must take a comprehensive survey of things as they now exist, without reference to ^financial opinions, which would better apply to eomeUlopinn

Republic,

than our real condition*

From thene suggestions, the committee have hastily thrown together an abstract, or table, to illustrate more fully their views. Amount of ta* on real eatale. valued at 48 millions, at 40 cents on $100, $192,000 Dividends on three millions of Bank etook upon the supposition that the dividends will amount to 8 per cent, which is two per cent, over the interest on State bonds, Amount of tax raised from merchants, brokers, stocks, &c. &c., Bonus ot State Bank, i•"*^

THE PUBLIC LANDS.

Among the several important matters already brought before Conetees thus early in the sessibn. the question

disposal of the Public Lands is not the

least important. It is to be hoped that a speedy determination will be had upon a subject so long agitated, and upon which furiher discussion will consul of Intle more than a repetition of what has already been wid.

The Puhlic domain is the common property of all the States. That portion of it wlitch was ceded to the Federal Government by individual States when the Union was established, was granted expressly as a trust fund L-'a common fund/in the language of tho Vs. deed, 'for the use and benefit of such ol the United States as have become, or shall become members of the ^xnfederation or federal alliance of the said States^ The t«rritory since purchased, whether from the French, the Spaniards, or the Indians, has been purchased not by a taw of the frontier8tates, nor by any particular States, but by the money of all tbe states jointly—that if, by Ahe common treasures of the General Government.

There are three pr*nects now before the country for {he disposal of the Public Lands—each proposing to establish permanent system to continue in regular operation and obviate the necessity of future controversy on the subject.

Mr. Benton* gmfceti** plwt proposes to reduce gradually the price ot the public loml». The prioe for the first year that thev aro in markat is to be fixed at one dollar per acre the second ypsr at seventy-five oents and all remaining unsold twelve months thereafter, are to be ceded to the States in which ihey lie.— The substance of this proportion is briefly this—that the (letters! Govern meni snail incurall the ex pen* and trouble of extinguishing the Indian title to the lands or pntrhstinf them otherwise —that it shall ineur the further expense of surveying and of making sates, aid tfcse throw the whole ofthe vast property thus secured to the nation into the bands of neculators and squatteim. The national domain under this system would mm, tn a souree of revenoe^nd an unnatural impulse WdbTgivento emigration to tho »raat injury &tt» older States and to the inordinate increase of specula* tion in the wilds of the West.

Mr. Clay's plan for the disposal of the proceeds of these' lands isfanitlar to the country. It is liberal ro tbe new States, and iuSt towards all it guards this great national trust fund from waste and improvident sacrifice, and secures to the people a solid benefit from the sales of it. It is aplanso wise in its provisions, sostatesmanlike and so fair, that it received the full approbation of both Houses of Congress and this approval would have been confirmed by a majority of two-thirds, if it had not been for the arbitrary course of General Jackson, who instead of returning the bill with his objections, put it in his pocket and kept it until Congress adjourned. But the will of the people, we trust is now about to be paramount once more, and we believe that one of the first acts of their representatives under the new administration will be to establish the system for distributing tbe proceeds of the sales of the public lands among the States in a just proportion.

belonging to The Secretary of the Navy took the earliest opportunity of bringing the subject to tbe notice of Congress in his first report, by pointing out the operation ot the act of 1837, and iinconsequences and tne fact that the stocks in which the fund was invested had been, and still continued to be sold, to meet the pavment of pensioris. was distinctly stated. It was probably in referonce to this, that Mr. Adams, in the last Betsion of Congress, offered resolutions declaring the investment of trust fund of this natnre in stocks, and their sale under p$r volue, "an illegal and unwarrantable assumption of power" on the part of the trustee These resolutions were objected to, and never acted upon by ihe House. The Secretory was left either to sell the stocks, or let the pensioners go unpaid and he chose the latter, on the ground, we presume, that a depreciation of stocks would not justify a violation of the public faith.

Tho Secretary of the Navy, in addition to his first Teport, also brought the subject to the attention of Congress in 1839, by transmitting the papers in a case occnritig under the law of 1837, where the heir ofa petty officer, whose entire service was less than five weeks, claimed, and waslejrally entitled to receive, upwards of six thousand dollars. He also transmitted a full and complete analysis of all the hay pension laws then in lorce. olid recommended a revision. The Naval commit tecofthe Senate reported a law accordingly, which, if it passed that body, which we do not at this moment distinctly recollect, was not acted on by the House. The act of 18^7 still continues in force and under its provisions the heir ofa common sailor who died in the service forty years ago, will, on establishing his claim, be legally entitled to receive some two or three thousand dollars.

Such arc the facts connected with tbe annihilation of the navy pension fund, which we have gathered from docaments accessible to every man in the community and the public may judge now whether its extin',«ion is owing to ths Secretaries of the Navy, or the legislation of Congress.—Globe.

THE NAVY" PENSION FUND.

So msch has been lately said and written, and so many erroneous impressions disseminated throughout the country in relation to this fund, that justice to all parties concerned in its administration seems to require a more fall and correct exposition of the subject.

The fund was originally established by the act of 23d of April. ,1800, but derived its principal resources from the operation of the act' of 26th of March, 1804, by Which the United States relinquished all claim to the share of prize-money to_ which they were entitled by law, and appropriated it to tbe fund for the payment of pensions *'to officers and seamen who may be entitled to receive the same." The public faith was pledged to make up any dcficeiency in the fund, which might arise from future legislation, or from the operation of laws then,existing. This fund was originally placed undMjhCid recti on of the Secretaries of the ress^.orWtfnahd of the Navy,but the arrangement bWng Tojtpd tftconvenient, it was committed to the latter aloitipDy,t]fe act of the 10th of July. 1832.

The act "|L,April 23, 1000, had, it will be Been, pledged inettmd "to remain forever for the payment of pensions arid half-pay, should the same be granted to ofS|Ns&nd seamen who may be entitled to'receive the skhi9,V ^nd not to their widows and children, ari was subsequently done by various laws of Congress, during thfacoritin ua nee, nnd since the expiration of the tare warrMt is obvious ti(Mt there were but two modes of disposi,^ of this frihd, to wjt: cither to deposits it in the Treasury, or in banks, where no inferest would accrue, and, consequently, the pensions be paid out of the principal or to invest it in some mode by which they could be paid out of the interest accuring and ths fund, which could only bo replenishedjn time of War by captures, remain "forever for the pavment ol pensioners," as originally contemplated. The first mode could not be adopted without consuming the entire fund in a few years and the latter was resorted to by the commissioners of tbe fund, as the only alternative for its preservation. It was accordingly invested in stocks, as was the surplus interest remaining after the pensions were all paid for. until the of th*inidn%ht Aet of l8Si, was more than sufficient for that purpose.

That act began its exploits in the cradle. In six months from its date, the arrearges of pensions poid under rts provisions had diminished the fund from about $1,200,000 to less than $400,000—at which it stood when the preoent Seeretarv of the Navy came into office. The interest of this last sum was greatly deficient for the payment of the ordinaty annual pen«ions, much less to moot the arrearges accuring under the law of 1837, which still continued to make occasional inroads on the fund and these deficiencies were as has been proviouslvdohe. supplied by sales of stocks the fund.

SUCCESSFUL A N

The Farmer's Cabinet relatwan instance of thetilost succcssful forming we have heard ot for some time* It is of on old, practical, bard-working farmer in the neighborhood of AmherSt, N. H. who commenced in the world asa day-laborer, and who. notwithstanding he has at various times sustained heavy pecuniary losses in the investment of his funds is now worth at least one hundred thousand dollar*. We make the following extract from the article in the Cabinet: "This man, when ihirty years of age, by the avails of his industry added toa small legacy, was enabled to purchase and pay, In part, for a farm of one hundred and thirty acres of land, one hundred of wliich was under cultivation, but in a very low state. The farm, is altogether upland, with asoil composed of loam,clay and sand, in the chief of which the latter preponderates, the former being least considerable. When hecommenced farming, he adopted a particular system of rotation, to which he has implicitly adhered from that to the present, which is forty years, and his success is the best comment on the worth of the experiment. His mode was as follows: having divided his farm into eight fields of equal size, as near as possible, three of those fields were sowed with wheat each year one with rye, one planted with corn two in clover, and one an open fallow, on which corn had been raised the year previous. One of the two clover fields is kept for mowing, ths other for pasture, both of which ere ploughed as soon afior the harvest as possible, and prepared for wheat in the fall. All the manure which is made on the farm for one year is hsuled in the spring on the field intended for open fallow, which is then ploughed, and after one or twocrossploughings'hrough the summer, is also sowed with wheat in the &H, The field on which the rye is sown is that from which a crop of wheat has been taken the same year and which had yiehted three crops, Corn is planted on the field from which rye had been taken the year previous, the stubbles of which are ploughed down in the fall. Clover seed is sown early in the spring on two of the wheat fields, those which have been most recently manured. By this method, each field yields three crops of wheat, two of clover, one of rye and one of corn, every eight years. Each field, in the mean time, has lain an open fallow, and received a heavy drawing of manure, perhaps an average of fifteen foor-horse loads

er acre. His crop of wheat is seldom less thsn fifteen bushels, but often much more' His Overage rye crop is about four hundred and fifty bushels, and hn corn crop annually about five hundred bushels—all which grain, at the present low prices, would amount to more than too tkounind doUmrs annually and former prices to doable that amount, and his farm is withal wry highly improved."

tn a sketch of the Qritish Iron Trade, Sr John Guest •ays: "In 1740 almost the whole of tbe iron in Great Britain was made from charcoal, and tbe make was 17,350 loom. In 1'88, hi consequence of the introduction of tbe new process of making iron with pit coal, the quantity increased to 68,300 toes, about which time Mr. Watt brought his improvements to b£ar npon the iron trade by tbe introduction of steam engines for blowing the furnaces, afrer which time there was a still more rapid increase. In 1796 tbe quantity produced was 123,000 tons. In tbe next ten years, down to 1806, the quantity was increased to 258,000 torts. In l823 the quantity produced was 4SS OOO tons. The quantity in 18S6 was 361,000 tons—this was all pig iron. In 182S the quantity was 703,000 tons. From that time to 1S31 it become stationary it rather diminished in 1630 ia consequence of the distress which prevailed in the country at that rime, from which time the increase has boon still more rapid. In 1C3S it was estimated at about a milliea of tons in 1836 it wap estimated at 1,200,000 tons and the estimate madetJy a very intelligent person who went round tbe works in 1839 was 1,313.000 too*, which is rather increasing.

A MELTING STORY.

No other class of men in any country possess that facetious aptness of inflicting a good-humored revenge which seems to be innate with a Green Mountain boy. Impose upon or injure a Vermonter, and he will seem the drollest and best-natuied fellow you ever knew in all your life, until suddenly he pounces upon you with sonte cunnmgfy-devised offaet for your duplicity and even while be makes his victim smart to tbe core, there is that manly open-heartodness about him which infuses balm even while the wound iB opening, and renders it quite impossible that you should bate nhn however severe may have been the punishment be dealt out to you. These boys of tbe Green Mountains seem to possess a natural faculty of extracting tun from every yicissituile and accident that tne charging hours can bring even what are bitter vexations to others, these bappv fellows treat in a manner so peculiar ss to completely alter their former character aud make them seem: to us agreeable, or at least endurable, which #as before in the highest degree offensive. Another man will repay an Aggravation or an insult by instantly returning injury, cutting,1 be acquaintance and shutting his heart forever against the offender: but a Venrtonter, with a smile upon his face, will amuse himself while obtaining a for keener revenge, cracking a joke in conchislon, and making his former eneniy forglfo him apd eyen lov6 him after chastisement.-,

One winter evening, a country store-keeper in tbe Mountain State was about closing his doors for- th« night, and while standing in the snow outside putting up his window shutters, he saw through the glass a lounging, worthless fellow grab a pound of fresh putter from the shelf and hastily conceal it in his hat.

The act was no sooner detected than the revenee was hit upon, and a very few moments found the Green Mountain store keeper at once indulging his appetite for fun to the fullest extent, and paving ofT the thief with a facetious sort of torture for which hetnightliave gained a premium from the old inquisition. '*1 say, Seth!" said the store-keeper, coming in and closing tne door aft«r him, slapping his hnrtds over his ahoulders and stamping the-snow off his shoes.

Seth had his hand upon the door, his hqt upon his head, and the roll of new butter in his hat, anxious to make his e*it as soon as popsible. '*1 say, Setli, sit d"own: I reckon, now. on such an e*t0r-nal night as this, a laetle something warm wouldn't hurt a fellow come and sit down."

Seth felt very uncertain he hnd the butter, and was. exceedingly, anxious to he off, but the temptation of "something warm'' sadly interfered with his resolution to go. This hesitation, however, was soon settled by the right owner of the Htftter taking Seih by tne shoulders and planting him in a seat close to the stove, where he was in such a manner cornered in by barrels and boxes that while the country grocer sat before him there was no possibility of his getting out, and right in this very place sure enough tbe siorc-kefeper sat down. "Seth, we'll have a little wnrm Santa Cruz," said the Green Mountoin'grocer, as Fie opened the stove door, and 6tuffed in as many sticks as the space would admit. •'Without it you'd freeze going home such a night as this.'1

Seth already felt the^batfer settling down closer to his hair, nnd jumped up, declaring he must go "Not till you have something warm, Seth come. I've got a story to tell you, too sit down, now and Se$ was again pushed into his seat by his canning torm«$ter. ih! It's tn dam'd hot here," said the petty thief, aottemptingto ri»e. down—don't be in such a plnguey hurry," rethe grocer, pushing him back in his chair., jut I've got the cows tu fodder, and some wood tn ^and I must be agoin," continued the persecuted

ut you must'nt tear yourself away, Seth, in this manner. Set down let the cows take care of themselves, and keep yourself cool you appear to be fidgety," said the roguish grocer, with a wicked leer.

The next thing was the production ot two smoking glasses of hot rum toddy, the very sight of which, in Seth's present situation, would have made the hair stand erect upon his head, had it not been well oiled and kept down by the butter. "Seth, I'll give you a tonst now nnd'you can butter it

yourself,"

poor

said tne grocer, yet with an air of such

consummatesimplicity that poor Seth still believed himself unsuspected. "Seth, here's -here's a Christmas goose—(it was about Christmas time)—here's »Christmas goose, well roasted and hassled, eh? I tell you, Seth, it's the greatest eating in creation. And, Seth. don't you never use hog's fat or common cooking butter to baste with: fresh pound butter, just the same as you see on that shelf yonder, is the only proper ihing in naiur to baste a goose with—comc, take your butter —I mean, Seth, take yonr toddy."

Poor Seth now began to smoke, as well as to melt, and his mouth was as hermetically sealed up as though he had been born dumb. Streak after streak of the butter came pouring from under his haf, nnd his handkerchief was'slreadv soaked with the greasy overflow. Talking awav, as if nothing was the matter, the grocer kept stuffing the wood into she stove, whilo poor Sejh sat bolt upright, with his back against the counter, and his knees almost touching ihe red-hot furnace before him. •'Darnation cold night this,Msaid tne grocer. "Why, Seth. yon seem to perspire as if you was warm! Why don't you take your hot off? Here, let me put your hot away!" "No!" exclaimed poor Seth at last, with a spasmodic effort to get his tongue loose, and clapping both hands upon hishat, "No! I must go let me out I aint well let me go!" A greasy cataract was now pouring down the

fellow's face and neck, and soaking into his

clothes, and trickling down his body into his very boots, so that he was literally in a pcrfrct baih of o.l. "Well, good night, Seth," said the humorous Vcrmonter. "if you will go adding, as Seih got out into the road, "neighbor, I reckon the fun I've had out of yon is worth 11 ninepencr. so I shan't charge you for that pound of butter!"— N. O. Pie.^

The locomotive engine which modem science has sent careering through the very bowels of mountains, flying over valleys, as it were, in mid air toiling with tireless energy up steep scclivites, and whizzing with incredible velocity over the level plain—seems an object of especial haired on the part of the universal brute creation. Tn proof of this, we have repeatedly noticed incidents like the following:

An unfortunate donkey, heedless of the notice to trespassers, recently strayed on to tbe tntek of the railway running through Yorkshire.England, and was contentedly enjoying tbe stray thistles and such odd vegetables as grew along the treck when a (rein approached. Seeing the perilous situation of tbe poor animal, the engineer gave him ample and legal notice of the danger by a iremenduous rcream from the shrill steam whistle, whereat the indomitable snimal pricked op his formidable ears, responded by a trumpet-toned bray of defiance,and with a dogged resolution stood his ground. It was a contest of fearful odds, that onset between the brare devoted donkey and tbe rushing locomotive. On it come.tbat iron war-horse, breathing flame and smoke, like some demon courser from the shades below, yet still be flinched not, but intrenched himself more firmly in his position—bracing his fore feet at the exact scientific angle, affording the greatest power of resistance, and with his heels towards his enemy, he watchfully eyed his opportunity. They dosed—one mighty volley from his iron hoofe rang against tbe brawn fore-' head of the steam monster, and in a brief instant the vanquished donkey was left far behind, a mantled and lifeless maSB Buftio Com.

A well cultivated mind united with a pleasant easy S I have endeavored, from tbe first to the present moment, to bring you up in-such amanner,asto form you for future usefulness in society. Woman was nevefr made merely to see aud be seep but to fill an import tant place in the great chain in nature, planned and tormed by the Almighty parent of the universe. You have been educated in nahits of industry, frugality, economy and neatnecOt and in these you Mve not disappointed me.

It is for the man to provide, and for the wife to care and see that every thing within her circle of movement Isdone in order^nd season therefore let method and order be considered important. A place for every thing, and every thing in its time, ore good family uitmos.

A thorough knowledge of every kind of business ap^ propriate to the Kitchen, is indiS|eDsable, for without such knowledge a lady is incapable of the management of her own business, and Is liable to imposition by her servants every day. But in those things you have been instructed. f-? ^53

You will be mistrfess of your own house, and observe the rules in which you have been educated. You will endeavor above all things to make your fireside the moat agreeable'place tor the man of your choice.^ Pleasantry and a happy disposition will ever be consid* ered necessary to this tipor.ant end—but a foolish fondnemis disgusting to all. Let reason and common s^nse ever guide—th^ee, aided bv a pleasant, friendly disposition, render life happy and without these it is not desirable. Remember our cousin Eliza. She mar-, ried with tbe highest prdspects but, from a petulent, peevish, and complaining disposition, and negligence, every thing went wrong and her home became a place of disquietude to her husband. To Avoid .this, he sought a place to pass away vacant time, where, associated with those more wicked than himself, he contracted habits of intemperance,,and all was loet—and .poor Eliza was thrown on the charity of her friends.,

Be pleasant and obliging 10 your neighbors—ready to grant assistance when necessary. Be careful ol their characters, do not readily believe an ill report. Throw the mantle of charity over their failings, knowing that We are human and liable to err. Abhor a tattler, and give no place to the reports of such. However strong a provocation tnay be, never contend for the last word.

Let your Bible show that it is used. Give no place to qovele in your library. Let history, biography and travels be read, when time and opportunity admitwithout interfering with the important duties of the family. Be not ignorant of the events of the time being, therefore read soma journal ot the day.

As to the friends who may call on you—never be confused or in a hurry treat them With hospitality and politeness, and endeavor t$ make thetn happy in their own way. Never tease them to do this or that which they do not prefer. True politeness consists in an oasy and pleasant deportment, and making our friends easy, and permitting them to enjoy themselves in that way which-is most pleasing to them.

Speak with deliberation. The other sex tell us that "the female tongue is never tired," be it so let it be regulated by reason.

At the close of the week, if possible, let all your work for the time, lie done, so that on Sunday you may improve your time in such a manner, as will be &ppm*. priate to the day, and never, extraordinaries excepted, let your seat be vacant at church.

As to dress decency is becoming to all, but extrnva-

gance opens a door to wont follow the fashion of the day as far ns decency and good sense will approve, but avoid singularity. Be not troubled for what you have

not, be thankful for, and take care of. what you have. A leghorn hat loaded with flowers will not cure the headache, nor a gold watch prevent the consumption. [American Farmer.

AbsejcCe of Mt.m—Absence of mind, we think, if pardonable in any, ispardonahle only in men of genips, and for ordinary men to affect it, is more than ridiculous. We heard an anecdote of absence of mind the other evening which is so good we will give it.

A highly distinguished clergyman and a powerful preacher, a determined tnuff-laker. and a great pedestrian, was remarkable for absence of mind. One Sabbath morning, he had eight miles to walk before commencing tbe services of the day, and he started on hisjourney with a mind wrapped up in lofty and spiritual contemplations. In these abstractions, as usual, he frequently, and perhaps unconsciously, regaled hisolfactory nerves with copious supplier from his large snuff-box, and after ho had travelled seven miles, ana was approaching almost in view of the church in which he was to officiate, the wind be£an to blow full in hisface.and when taking another pinch from his favorite box, in order that She wind might not blow the snuff in his eyes he turned his back upon the wind, deposi'iiig, in high enjoyment, the tltillery matter into its elevated situation. But.it wto a serious revolution to him for, alaa! he forgot he had-turned round, hut proceeded Onwards, over the same ground, never discovering his misiake till Ire come within a few rods of his own house, the piece from which be had, a few hours before started, in order to preach. It was too late for the wbrthy clergyman to think of retracing his steps, and walking the course again, and the congregation was allowed to remain, wondering what had happened to their obtent mi nisi or .— Com.

A Tax on Luxuries.—The Globe is so excessively hard run for matters of political offence on the part- of Mr. Webs:er, that it refers to his willingness to lax French silks and wines, as a proof of his hatred to the French and love to the British! Theugh the Globa itself "insists that luxuries from all countries should be taxed," it pretends to regard a proposition to begin with that country which furnishes the great proportion of these 'luxuries1,asan evidence of "British influence!" 0! the sagacious—the candid Globe!

While on ihe subject we may remark, that the Ctsive vote on Wednesday in the House of Representatives. in favor of a reference of a tariff or revenue ouestion, tO the Committee on Manufactures, rather than to the Committee of Ways snd Means, may be held as some evidence of public opinion being at this time in favor ofa "tax on luxuries," and thar, when the proper period shall arrive for taking up the tariff ^question, we may look for some conservative action in this particular, at the hands of the National Legislature—A tax on wines snd silks, and other imported "luxuries," so as to lessen the amount consumed, and to be paid for, cannot, in oar opinion, be laid too soon, ss it may be done without in any degree trenching upon, or disturbing, the Tariff

N •.* STATE AFFAIRS. Pennsylvania. GovernqHiosTSG's Message to the Legislature is ant:, interesting document. Tbe principal topics which it discusses, are the present Banking System of the State, the public improvements, the tax bill, the pecuniary embarrassments of the people, nnd the public debt. He rooommeiida a thorough reform 'of this banking system, Js opposed to any increase of the present banking cupinal of tbe Sttfte, and thinks that a suspension of specie payments by any bank should be ipso facto a forfeiture of it»charter.

He states thai the internal improvements linve been prosecuted during the past year with untiring assiduity, and recommends that as soon as those how under way shall have been finished, the State pause in her career and test the value of her achievements.

Governor Porter ascribes the pecuniary embarrassmen is ol the people mainly to the importation of large •, amounts of the luxuriesand superfluities of life, and reconimends simplicity, economy arid retrenchment, in their modo. of living and their expenditures.' mcludin* the United States depos*

The annual revenues arising from taX$a on carriages, gold watches, dogs, &c., it is supposed will amount to 40bout $600,000. Governor Porter differs widely from some ef his party brethren in Illinois, and will sanction nothing which does not look to a lull preservation of 'ihe faith of the State. On this subject, tie speaks thus: *•1 can it ance the idea that the fait by a failurvto meet her ertgagements. Iftherobc in our country who would be willing, if they were aWe, to abrogate the contracts of the Com moo weal tli,and be faithless to her creditors, let-their doctrine be distinct

avowed and the issue fairly made up before the people, the intelligence and integrity of our citisens would peedily convince the world that tliey feel the necesaitv in a republican government of maintaining unsullied public faith and national honor.*
