We have had the February and March numbers of tiii truly American work upon our table for ten or fifteen days, intending, after having given them a thorough perusal, to find time and space for a notice of their content., which the character and spirit displayed in their pages would amply justify and perhaps, also some extracts. But, we fear, the pressure of other matters, and our entire engrossment in politics will defeat these good intentions. At any rate, it would he gross injustice to the editor, and the Logan Historical Society, under whose auspices he has assumed the task of conducting the Pioneer, to defor an acknowledgement of its reception how welcome we need not say any longer. We have read these sheets with an increasing interest in the success and prosperity of the implication. t is just what is wanted for snatching from oblivion and preserving, for the information and instruction of posterity, tlio thousand incidents which embellish the early history of the State; and the Western country, now rapidly porishing and passing from even the records of human recollection. To our minds there has always attached a rich charm about tlio events of Indian warfare and tho adventures attending the settlement of a new country, which could never pall the mental appetite, nor, indeed, yield in its associations to tho more glowing annals of "Greek and Roman fame." There is a freshness and originality about it found in nothing else. Too much has been irretrievably lost, not to stimulate us to the preservation of what still remains. This is the object and aim of die American Pioneer, and greatly should we lament tlio failure of the enterprise.The following is a table of the contents of the February numbor. An engraved "View of the first meeting house in Ohio,1 erected nt Columbia, about six miles from Cincinnati, the second settlement in tlio stato tho house was destroyed as late as lrJ35, Turin on visiting its Ruins." A narrative of tho captivity of John lirickell, (still living in this city,) among tho Indians, with whom ho resided four years and a half previous to Wayne's campaign and victory, f he srticlo comprises fourteen pages of tlio Pioncor, and is exceedingly interesting.An account of the first attempt to settle tho valley of the Scioto, at the place where Portsmouth has since grown up. Anecdotes of Jesse Hughes, a primitive Hunter and Indian Fighter. "Logon and Crcsap." Further accounts of tlio first attempts to establish steam navigation. First settlement of the Virginia Military I And District, under the direction of Gen. Nathaniel Mas-lie.An account of a trip to the West, by Felix Rcn-ick, Esq. very entertaining. CONTENTS OF NO. S, FOR MARCH. An engraved drawing of "Campus Martius," the stockaded garrison erected by Gen. Putnam at the confluence of the Ohio and Muskingum, in 17H8-0. A description of tho same, and the settlement, with a Biographical sketch of He v. D. Story, tho earliest proachor of tlio gospel in Ohio. History of an early voyage down the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers, with brief sketches of the towns and country on their banks part 1st, from the graphic pen of Dr. Ilildreth extremely interesting. We shall look anxiously fur the future numbers. Post Office facilities letter from Hon. E. Whittlesey Annals of the Colonial Post office. First Stage route in the United States Statistics. Logan's Spring Anecdotes, &C. Shade of Logan, a Poem. Preservation of Manuscripts. American Chronology. Funeral of Die Hon. John Cloves Symmc. Those of our readers who have not seen the " Pioneer," may discover from the titles of tho articles thus enumerated, that they embraco snbjects of extreme intercut They are written in a spirited style, and contain many descriptions and narrations of which no other printed knowledge has ever been given to the public. Tho Pioneer is printed on elegant typo and paper, and each number extends to 40 pages. Tho prico is only two dollars per yoar Published by John & II Miami, Chillicothc. TO CORRESPONDENTS. Some well meaning person, doubtless, has sent us a communication on tlio subject, as near as we can ascertain its meaning, of the removal of tlio Market House. We have two objecliona to inserting it Tlio first is, that no responsible name accompanies it, and the second is, that it is written so illegibly that our compositors cannot make it out If tlio writer will obviate those difficulties, we will insert bis article with pleasure. HOME PROTECTION. The rail for a public meeting of the friends of Protection, at Troy, N. Y, is signed without distinction of party. The two first name on tlio list are those of Jonas C. 1 leant and Stephen Warren, the opposing candidates for Mayor at tlio recent charier election. Here the pnrtv lenders hnvo tlio shrewd ncs or patriotism which ? to cspouso tho British tide of the question, and to mako partisan appeals to tlio people to sustain them in opposing their own in controvertible interests. THE TYLF.R PARTY. A gentleman of tins city, who we believe ranks with the independent Trier squad, having businei at Urbana, a week or two since, reported, on his return, that he had made diligent inquiry after tho Tyler party in Cluunpaign, but was utterly unable to scare up a single individual who woro tho ex ecutive collar in that county. He afterwards visited Spring-Hold, whore, renewing his inquiries, he had tlio pleasure of hearing of ens Tyler man, who nev ertheless amies his intention to vote for Cortrtn.' This is a fair illustration of tlio strength of the Ty ler party in Ohio a party consisting almost solely of olfico holders and office expectants in the city of Columbus, though we do not reckon our informant in the category. AN INSULT. President Tylor, in a recent letter to a dinner as. semblago of his exclusive friends at Philadelphia remarks that the present " is at Jtl time for the prrra. Jrriot of faction." Who ia this man that stoops from his high station to accuse the people of factions cou duct ? "On what meat doth ho feed that he hath suddenly grown so great T Is it not a new tiling in the history of the government, that its Executive head should so fir lose his consciousness of the proprieties of his station, as to indulge in the use of such low and querulous language, as that? It is alike insulting to tho pcnplo and disgraceful to the plsct its auUior holds. ANOTI1KII VERDICT. ' - Messrs. Stockton it Stokoa have obtained another verdict against Amos Kendall, in the District Court of the United States for the District of Columbia, of eleveu thousand dollars damages for withliolding the payment of certain money! due tlicin as mailcontractors. TEMPERANCE. The universal interest felt in the promotion of the cause of Temperance has led to the establishment of two, at least, Temperance journals in tho State, and propositions for others. "The Genius or Temperance," is a fair looking royal sheet, published at Massillon, every Saturday, at the following rates: 1 copy . (1 00 per annum. 25 copies, 20 00 " 18 10 00 " 5 . 5 00 . Messrs. Luce & Worstkll, publishers.

The pressure upon the business community increa ses every hour. Heavy failures have occurred here and in New Orloans. Our currency consists of Indiana Hank notes, and is rapidly diminishing in quantity. Resumption of specie payment!, u yet, puts no coin into circulation. The currency ia but little im- provea in quality wnuo we reduction oi its amount boars hcavi v upon all interests and all clussc. The distress is almost universal. Whut good, it is often osked, has resumption done? Tho paper issued by the Ohio Bonks, which have resumed, has disappeared. Its place is supplied by Indiana paper, not by spucie. Who is benefited by that operation? The Stnto Bank of lndiuna. Tho notes of the Bunk of Chillicothe, and or the Franklin Bank of Columbus, both perfectly good, hnve been reduced in value in tho hands of the hold-cr, twenty or thirty per cent. This is tho poor man's loss. Who gains by the process? Nut lite Banks, nor the people, but the money bruker and Bank debt ors. The or iimn sells his ten or twenty dollars to the broker, nt a loss of from four to eight dollurs. The broker sells it to the debtor at a loss discount, mid pockets the profit Tho debtor pays the Hank at par, saving to himself the discount This in plain. While this is in progress, business is stopped or crippled men full the laborer is out of employ, or employed at reduced wages prices full. Who gains by this oieration ? The rich mnn, the broker, and the Bank debtor gains the loss fulls upon the poor. The discredit of the two banks named has been effected by tlx State, and yet the Stale owos them enough to pay all their debts of every kind, except capital stock. That is not all. The State borrowed their notes and paid them out to the public creditors rjf par, and then knocked down their credit in the hands of tho holder ! These are Locofoco operations tho begining of the end ! Correipoatlenc e of the United Stales Garette. Washington, March 17, 1842. J. H. Chandler, Esq. The transactions and debutes were of an interesting character to-day in both wings of the Capitol. In the House tho Loon Bill was under consideration, and aa it covered a broad field, every man at all disposed to tilt, entered tlio list, and cut and thrust wherever and at whomever he chose. There was consequently some fino passage at anna, and a good many combatant. Among them wcro Mr. Tilling-hast, Mr. Filhnnrc, Mr. Pickens, Mr. W. Cost Johnson, Mr. Marshall, Mr. Charles Brown, and Mr. Stanley.The Loco took the opportunity to attack tlio Whig, denounce their policy, charge them with ex-tntvagnnco! aud creating a national debt! Mr. Brown aid, in reply to some remark from omo one, that if the Whigs were not responsible for tlio debt now existing, ho wished to know when tho responsibility was to commence ? This and other taunting remarks from other quarters, brought out Mr. Stanley, who is decidedly the best sharp-shooter in the House. Ho never mimes fire, and if ho docs not kill, always hits his mark. His rifle cracked morrily to-duy, and not a shot missed. le told the Locos of the policy pursued by Mr. Van Burcn during tlio last year of In administration, which wss, to cut down the aillt for appropriations by the several Department, but not to reduce tho expenditures, and then to say to Congress that if they would confine tlicir appropriations to theceUs of tho Desirtinenti there would be ample funds in the Treasury. As an instanco 1 I? ."i0,0tK) werccsllcd for by tho Department for the Treasury Building, but before tho Appropriation Bill had passed, mora than that amount had been expended ; or rather the Government had gone on with the work, and tlio Superintendent, or Commissioners of Public Buildings, had issued an immense amount of Government due-bills to the workmen, so that oon a the Appropriation Bill passed, the whole amount was immediately absorbed by theso due-bills, and the Government was to go on tick sgnin to tho workmen, starving otf payment and tiimwing tlio expense of their tuna over iqion the Whigs, who were obliged to provide mean tu pay the debt tints contracted by their predecessors.Mr. S. spoko of the extravagance and waste, tho criminal prodigality of the lato administration, and brought forward aotne cases to which 1 alluded in my lettor of yesterday, and which havo been undergoing investigation by tlio Committee on Public Ex;eiidi-turcs. ne caso was that of tlio purchase of stationery by Mr. Garland, the late Clerk of the House, who employed Langtroe ct U'Sullivan, to furnish stationery at the prices so for above the fair value, that in a bill of e) Ai.lKK) it was in proof before tlio Committee, that the article were ottered to be furnished at above T.UUO less than ho gavo tlicin ! It was was also in proof and the fuel was stated by a re-spoctable witness under oath, that when remonstrated with ftir employing Langtree dt O'Sullivan, to furnish the stationer)-, who were not dealer, in the article, but printer, and publishers of the Democratic Review, " Mr. Garland replied, that the Democratic llmea tens an excellent mirk ami must be suslainaLn Here then was a specimen of tho criminal wastcltil-lies of our predecessora here, in a bill amounting to AIMKt It was proved that 7,000 was given over and abovo a fair, living price for the article pur chased than they were ottered to Mr. Gnrlaud 1'tirH Front hi declaration, that the Democratic Review must or tushtinnt, we are to inter that this extra prico was paid for that object This is the key to the enormous expenses of Mr. Van Boron's Administration. With one of hut disbursing ollicers, Ui ihmoerutic Rcrirm must be sustained, with another, tho Democratic Par. ty must be sustained; with a third, some Governor, or member of Congrc, must be nstained ; and tho means to sustain them all were to be drawn from the public Treasury in tho shape of payment for some job or contract, for which filly per cent more than a fair price wa given. Mr. Mtanely referred also to the Public Buildings, in this city the Treasury Building, the Pstet toll're, eVeallof which had cost five or six tunes the amount of monoy first asked for Uiein and Uieir estimated cost. The Patent office for instance, had been ostimnted to cost 1IX),(KH)j but by some means or other si(J,- 000 had already been sient upon it For tlio Tna-tiry Building the first appropriation in the year lKki, was (illXI.OUO, and encouragement was held out by the architect that we might anticipnto the completion of tlio interior, in the year lc.18. Hut in Juno IKk the plan of the main Building was fur the first time exhibited tn Congm, and the entire ctstt estimated at .X,IKI0 But there has already been expended a'slH.rtisl, and the further sum of i3,0C0 it ia stated will be necessary to finish it Mr. Stanley also referred to, and staled some important fiirt as connected with the Florida war, showing where immense sums of money had gone. Ho wished to know if tlio Wings wore to bo held responsible for all these tilings? The committee 1 now at work, would, in duo tiiner show who wore ro-oiisible for the present condition of the country) Uiey would put the saddle on the right horse. Mr. John T. Stuart, from the committee on Public Expenditure, made two reports to-day on on the esse of Simeon Buckner, who gotaclaim of 17,741) allowed by the accounting ollicers of tlie Treasury by tlie assistance of Col. R. M. Johnson, in July 1110, for transporting certain Chickasaw Indian from Memphis to IVrt ColVoe. Arkansas, in steamboats, ho cro never on board Ilia boats, ami went by land, he not having been at one oent expense in regard to them. What ia a little remarkable about Uus claim, is this, that it was a long tune before the 1 reasury Department, the accounting officers refusing to allow it ; that it was taken hold of by Col. R. M. Johnson, who attended with Buckner "almost daily" at tlie Treasury Department, pressing it allowance, till it was finally passed. And that tlie said Buckner immediately formta1 to Col. Jonson $18,000 of the money obtained. No doubt however, it wa "a fair business transaction.'' It looks a little queer, though, that's all. The other case I will mention to-morrow, and per haps give you more of tho particulars of tlie Bucknor case. OLIVER OLDSCHOOL. PROCEEDINGS OF THE MIAMI VALLEY DOMESTIC INDUSTRY CONVENTION. This convention met pursuant to public notice, and was organized by appointing James Graham of Butler President William Cory of Hamilton and Joseph stutitis ot rrctiie, vice rrosmcnts, ana w- U. iiow ells of Butler. Secretary. un motion ot wm acoo a committee or seven was apiiointed to droll suitable resolutions to be sub mitted to the convention, consisting of A. H. Dunle vy of Warren, Miles Greenwood, B. F. Beddinger, tt. u. I'liillips, ot Hamilton, Samuel Hnively and nenry ucurusiey oi nuucr. Convention took a recess ; and met again at 14 o'clock, P. M. During the absence 'of the committee, the con vention was addressed by John Wood of Butler after which The committee reported the following resolutions, which were accented bv the convention, and submit ted for consideration separately , Jiemlvea, That the present embarrassed condition or American industry, commerce and currency, de mands ot every citizen an earnest and cunilid exam ination of its causes, and the prompt and efficient ex ertion of both people and government to furnish a speedy and permanent remedy. Uesolveti, that, in the luuguagcot J enerson, "Ex perience has taught us, that manufactures are now as necessary to our independence, as to our comfort" Hrsolved, That while all the Agricultural products of tlio United States, (with the exception of Cotton which cannot at present be sufficiently produced in other countries and is essential to European Manu factures) aro subjected to a very high and almost prohibitory duty in the market of Kurope, and at tho same time that Manufactures and agricultural productions of the European nations are for tho greater part admitted into our ports tree ot duty, and all ot them with a mure revenue turitt, the price ot the Agricultural products of the United Slates must continue to decline, labor of tho American Mechanic to diminish in value and lessen in demand, tlio country bo drained of its siecie, and it currency subjected to constant and ruinous fluctuation. llnotved. That the opinion so frequently advanced nnd so industriously circulated in this country, by llritisii agent and those under ilritisti and loreign influence, thut a duty upon imports which competo witJi our own productions is hut a tux upon the con sumer to the extent of that duty, is not true and has been lully retiited ny the best experience ot una country; and Unit such duties by increasing the pro duction at home, brings ttio Domestic manufacturer in competition with tho foreign, and by augmenting tho supply in proportion to tlie increased demand, lessens the price to tlie consumer ot ell such articles. Haolvett, That it is the duty of every American in tlie purchase and use of all articles of manufac ture and consumption to give a prcfcrcnco for those produced by our own citizens over similar articles manufactured and produced in foreign countries and nrought hero lor sale, until uungress snail by law compel foreign nations to trade with tho United Suites on terms of substantial reciprocity. Jtrsolvcd, That a horizontal duty of 20 per cent will not sufficiently protect trie interest ot the man ufacturer, and that such discriminations ought to be made, in tlie collection of tho necessary revenue, for the support ot Government, as shull protect ttie manufacturing and agricultural interest of the country. Jiuotccri, That by the discriminating duties in favor ot the products ot her own industry, when they como in conflict with tho products of American industry, and by her commercial treaties and restrictions, (treat Britain depresses our lubor and enterprise, and make it subservient to British industry and British power. Iltmtved, That from tlie exertions now making towards Uio production ot Cotton in Uio bast Indies, F.gvpt and South Sea Islands, and the encourage ment extended thereto by France as well aa Great llritain, Una convention believe tho tune is not tar distant when American cotton will be placed on a footing, in the European market wi'h other produc tions of tho United States, and tlie cotton planters of the South will bo compelled to seek a demand for their productions in the domestic market and homo consumption of that article; and in view of these facts, this convention, in the spirit of fraternal feeling, would call upon their brethem of the cotton growing Stales to unito with tlio other Stato in the Union in a permanent and well regulated svstom for tlie protection of American industry, skill and enterprise, whether agricultural, mechanical, commercial, or manufacturing. Jittolved, That this meeting recommend a State ConvcnUon for tlio purpose uf consulting on tlio interest of home industry to be held at Columbus on Uio Vih day of April next licsolveit. That it bo recommended to tlio friends of homo industry in oach county in this State, before said convention, to hold meetings and take measures tn collect and roport thereto, all information touching Uio object of said convention, and especially Uie kind, and extent of nil manufactures in their respective counties, a woll as the kind and amount of exports, and Uie market to which Uiey are sent Theso resolutions wcro unanimously adopted, and, in the progress of their discussion, wcro ably and eloquently supported inspeeches by A. H. Dunlevv, It F. Bc'ddiugcr, Wm. Jkbb, R. C Phillips, Mr. Davis, and Charles Fox. On motion of C. Fox Uio Chair appointed A. It. Dunlevy, E. I). Mansfield, and Lewis D. Campbell to draft an address to tho people of Ohio. A. II. Dunlevy oll'crcd a resolution which was under discussion, when Uio convention took a recess, and met again at 7 o'clock, P. M. Convention met, and adopted Mr. liunluvy'a resolution, which is: Hcnalved, That, in tho opinion of Uiis convention, it is tliu great and primary duty ol Uio American Ko-public, so to protect and encourage Uio labor of its own citizens, as that Uio working man shall at all times receivo such cotniciiSQtion for his labor aa to enable him to maintain his family in comfort and givo Uiein such education as will lit Uiom to discimrgo ttio duties of ciuxensof free government; and place them as far as possible, on a footing of equulity with thisM who livo upon Uieir capital, and inherit Uie advantage ol previously acquired wealth. The convention was then very ably and appropriately addressed by William Behb, and Charles J' ox. H. t,. rinlliM, in a short address, suprtud Uie principles of Uio Home Lengue. I D. Campbell ollcrcd the following resolution, which was adopted bv acclamation. Jtriolveit, ThatUiu ladies havo it in Uieir power to ho Uio most efficient protectors of American Indus try, anil that they are earnestly requested by Una con-venUon to exert Uieir influence, ciUier by separate a socistions, or by becoming member of Uie Home leagues, which aro or may hereafter be formed in Uie Miami Valley. It wa HtKlceit, That these proceeding be pub lishod in the newspaper of this county, and such oUiers or tho (lino paper R aro friendly to Uie object of tho convention. On motion, adjoutned tine die. JAMKS GRAHAM, Pru W. C. IIoweu.s, &r'y. "SIGNS OF THE TIMES." F.rri Oi'Rninu at the South ! There ia reason tn hope and to beticvo Unit the time is approaching when nonnern men win no longer ne required, in their solicitude for Southern votes, to sacrifice not only Uio interests of the Nortli, but tlie prosperity and welfare of Uio Republic. Tho Charleston (K. C.) Patriot of Uio 23d of February, avows Uio following sentiments: Domesiic I.MH'sTRr. We have said that South Carolina is rapidly approaching tho period when she must look to oilier sources uf incomo than Uie production of Colton. Tho country Uint relies for its annual revenue on one or two statues of export sub. jtvt iL-telf to all those losses and fluctuations which lollnw warn, mercantilo revulsions and revulsion in commerce. A fall abroad in Uio market vatuo of these staple frequently reduces the profit of Agriculture so suddenly and so largely a to atfect all dependent bninche of industry. This cannot liup-pon where Uie pursuits of labor and Uie invcsUiient of capital are more diversified. All productive UIkh- doe not, Uien, flow into one or two channels, so Uiat when the current of external trade are impedod, stagnation succeeds. But that chemo of industry which calls forth a variety of occupations, mechanical, commercial and agricultural, constantly rcplcniidies and invigorate all Uie in ternal springs of wealth. If Uie foreign market fluctuates and falls, the interior current of trade and circulation remain in undiminished activity, and a diversity in Uie mode of industry and in Uie applications of capital enable Uie country,o circumstan- ceo, io tan oacx on otner and more independent source of income. The art of lifo which are quickened and improved by an internal movement of labor, are then sure and healthy supports to an industrious population. The fund by which industry is remunerated, i not, in it prccariousncsa, o variable in amount as when it is exclusively derived front raising products for a foreign and distant market In Uie same paper of Uie 24th ult, Uie aubject is resumed a follows : Domestic Industrt. It ha become evident to every citizen of Uie least reflccUon, that those mode of labor and application of capital which have ordinarily prevailed on Uie Southern Atlantic States, must soon undergo a radical change, or Uiey are destined to experience an emigration both of Uieir capitalists and slave, that must be attended by impoverishment, if not depopulation. It is impossible Uiat Uie Cotton producing region, whose soils are measurably exhausted, can maintain a competition with thoso Western States, Uie productive power of whose virgin territory is four-fold Uiat of the lands earliest brought into the cultivotion of Uiis agricultural staple. South Carolina stands pre-eminently in Uiis relation to the new cotton countries. It doe not require much foresight to perceive how soon she will be dependent on Uie Northern States for market for her great staple of export, and for that market she will have to compete with Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas and Texas, where cotton cin profitably he produced at four and five cent, at which price our agricultural investments will vol yield three percent per annum. . ! What is to be done? This is the question whose solution is necessary to save SouUi Carolina from an extensive emigration, if not depopulation. We have now reached uiat condition which leaves no alternative between the retention of stubborn habits, with decreasing prosperity, and chtnee of occupation, with the prospect of permanent woulth. Well, what is to bo done, if our fuvoritc pirsuit is abandoned ? The path is plainly marked out for us by Nature. If wo fail to follow it wo have soUiing to thank but our own apathy and indolence. South Carolina possesses groat natural capabilities for Manufacturing. It is a melancholy fact tint we are far behind Uie ago in a knowledge of our own resources, slumbering over advantages, which, if properly employed, would make us the most prosperous and independent people in existence. It will be our purpose to show, in a series of essays, that we have Uie clement of wealth about and around us, which, skilfully combined, would lead to Uie happiest and most productive developments. WOLVES ON THE PENOBSCOT, MAINE. It is a remarkable fact and one worthy the attention of our Legislators, Uiat Uicsc ferocious animals havo been rapidly increasing for the lust few years, destroying and driving the deer from the hack forest, down into the settlements, and occasionally killing sheep. The remain of a largo Moose have frequently been found, Uiat wa run down and killed by the wolvca. Olio of our citizens had quite an adventure with Uiein lust week. Col. John Godd.ird,who ho teams on tho Matawumkcag, was going into his camps, und in approaching a spot where an ox that had died wa hauled out of the road, he discovered seven wolves at work on Uio carcass, growling and fighting. Col. Goildurd hud Ins gan with him in his sleigh, but his only ammunition tvns a small partridge charge and a single ball in his pocket ; this ho dropped into his gun, and advancing near enough to bo sure of his object, ho selected tbc largest and moat ferocious looking one, fired and brought him down. This, instead of fright-jning awuy the others only caused Uiein tn look up and growl. Col. G. wishing to secure his game advanced cautiously with his gun in his hand, ready to use the butt end, should they attempt to make game if him. This, however, Uiey did not attempt, but walking around, keeping about 20 or 30 feet from him, snarling, growling, and show-inga mostfonnidablo set of teeth. Col. G. notwithstanding did not relinquish his object but succeeded in bringing olf his prize, and carried him safely to Uie camp. This would be exciting business to one not accustomed to Uio back woods, birt it was rare sjiort for Col. Goddard, for ho loves adventure, and Uio more hazardous it is, Uio more fun fur him. Another of our citizens saw Uiree within the limit of Uie city. He had been to a camp in the woods, and returning, three wolves came out into Uie road and kept along before his horse some half a mile before Uiey returned into Uio woods again. Kennebec Jottrnal. ST. PATRICK'S DAY. Tho members of the Roman Catholic Total Abstinence Society of Uiis city, celebrated Uie natal day of the Patron Saint in excellent style. We saw tho procession nt several points, ss it marched through our streets, with music, medals and green scarfs; and it was an exhibition such as must ever gladden Uie heart of tho true philanthropist and christian. Whilst we have heard on all side of us, for some months past, of thrilling meetings and wonderful progress of the Woshiiigtonians, here, in our very midst has this society of the Sons of Erin quietly orison, and attained strength and activity almost unheard of We arc told Uiat it number upward of a thousand. In the procession yesterday, Uiere were six hundred lacking a few able, vigorous, and active men men of bono and Binow true-hearted Irishmen! men worthy of that land which, when the rudo hand of the Hun and Vandal dashed Uie lamp of civilization tu the earth, caught up Uio ta)ier, and preserved its atcaily flame through centuries. For Uiat act, Uio world was more indebted to Ireland than it has yet acknowledged. And in our day, it i agnin the recipient of a blessing of unknown magnitude, from Uie hand of a son of hers Uie great " Apostle of Temperence," who has erected and fed the lamp of a moral and social revolution Uiat is now in progress over two continents. The cause of Temperance has received a great impetus among Uio Irish population of this city ; end much of it is owing to tho exertions of Uio gentlemen of the Catholic Church hero. May Uieir labor be continued, and coutinuo to bo blessed! Cinan-nati .Meuagt. Paris Municifal Police. jI oiufioiu valetudinarian.

FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH 25, 1842. THE EXOHRQUER EMBARRASSMENTS OF THE GOVERNMENT DECLINE OF PUBLIC CREDIT A CRISIS. The National Intelligencer, a few days since, con tained a letter from the Secretary of Uie Treasury, to Uio Chairman of Uie committee of Ways and Means, in Uio House of Representatives, communicating officially the fact, that in addition to an empty Treasury, the Government has suffered it paper issued in Uie form of Treasury notes to be dishonored ; that the Treasurer, Mr. Selden, had been to New York to endeavor to negotiate mean of temporary relief from tho Banks, but so low was Uie credit of Uie government Uiat he had returned without effecting hi object ; Uiat Treasury note were at a dis count of one and a half per cent, in Uie money mar ket; and that under these circumstances, it was Uie opinion of the Department that Congress should au thor Uie government to offer it stock in Uie market " for whatever it will bring." By this statement as well as what ha appeared before respecting the financial difficulties of Uie general Administration, Uie alarming circumstance is disclosod that the Treasury of the NaUonal Government has been drained of its last dollar Uiat Uie public faith ha been dishonored and Uiat aa a na tion we aro without money, without credit and without confidence ; for Mr. Secretary Forward acknowledges that Uie agent of Uie Government was turned away from Uie Banks in Wall street, wither he had carried his application, empty-handed, and we are ion to infor. with-insult No doubt it is an anxious enquiry at Washington, what shall be done to save Uie national character from farther degradation and to rescue Uie government from its present entanglement. Certainly Uio question is one of the greatest importance, and deserving not only Uie concern of Uiose charged with public duties in Uio Administration, but Uie speculation of those who have foreseen and predicted just the otnergency which has overtaken us. In order to determine upon the best methods of ex tracting Uie wheel of government from the ruts in which they are sucking fust, noUung cun be of high er moment than a proper and clear conception of Uie causes which have produced Uie existing embarrass ments. Without going back to Uie sourco of Uie evil and adjusting our romcdies to Uie nature of tho original derangement of Uio system, it will bo in vain, it will be worso than vain, to administer Uicm in the hope or expectation of seeing Uiem answer Uie designed purpose or prove efficient It is but just to Mr. Tyler's Administration to ad mit, that the first cause of Uie difficulties which now encumber its operations, originated in the mismanagement of public affairs during Mr. Van Burcn' term. But we were all acquainted with Uie existence of the disorder which infected his administration, and it was supposed Uiere was no disagreement a to tho measures necessary for retrieving its circumstances when it was surrendered into new hands. Had thoso measures been adopted by Mr. Tyler, a good fuitli, honor and Uie public will required, no-tiling of our present embarrassed condition would lutvo been experienced, nnd Uie disgrace which ha befallen the nation would have been avoided. Who should be held responsible for tho shame which mantles the cheeks of every American Uiat feels a ho ought, in an hour so humiliating to national pride and so full of dark omens for Uio future ? Who has incurred Uie curse which afllicts us at home and disgrace us abroad ? Whose narrow scheme, small minded prejudice and selfish plans of personal aggrandizement, have led him to mistake the road to glory, and to follow Uie patii which ha ended o suddenly in discredit, dishonor and calamity ? Neod we answer? All Uio difficulties which now surround us and which threaten us with a continuation of plague and torments, to sjicak figuratively of the suffering which must inevitably ensuo from Uie violation of all Uie known maxiins uf constitutional and safe government, are Uie legitimate fruit of President Tyler's conduct, a the Executive Chief Magistrate of Uie Nation, but mora especially during Uio Extra session of Congress last summer. We are now un dergoing Uie penalty which the government has in curred fur Uia harsh and wicked application of Uie Veto power to Uie measures that Uie people Repre sentatives deemed adapted to tho want and wishes of Uie country, and which had been passed upon with groat unanimity, by the friends of tlio Administration then just inducted iuU office. Mr. Tyler, aa President of Uio United Statca, acting under impulse of personal vanity or ambition, Uie dupe of fac tious adviser lacking every qualification for the of-ficQ Uiey had assumed, struck down Uio foremost measure which received the sanction of Uie people's representatives, and which combined within itself Uie means of restoring Uie prosperity of Uie country, reviving tho energies of the people, giving stability to Uie Administration and crowning with complete success tho Revolution which had hurled Van Huron and his destructivo mynnidons from power. This measure was Uie one to reinstate our disordered cur- reney, without which all othor effort at reform, all other attoinpts to replace Uio business relations of society upon a solid basis, will prove nugatory and worthless, Mr. Tyler is now gathering the fruit of Uiat reckless and desporato policy, which dictated Uio vetoes and blasted the hopes of tlio Nation. Con gress has been officially advised by his chancellor of Uio Exchequer, that the Government is destitute of means, Uiat it honor has been sacrificed and it credit i exhausted. So low indeed is it estate, that a puny Bank in Wall street declines to como to it aid, Uinugli doubUess tempted to the allianco by the assurance Uiat Uio graUtudo of Uie obliged party hereafter would be niado commensurate with its ne cessities now. As South Carolina would say in the Senate Chamber, WE ARE IN THE MIDST OF A CRISIS! Tlie Government is in debt beyond its ability to pay. It credit is paralyzed. It does not enjoy Uie mean of meeting the ordinary demand upon Uie Treasury, It is without any adeipinto system of finance. We are destitute of a national currency. How shall we oscnpo from these multiplied difficulties? What avenue of retreat are left open, by which we may extricate ourselves? What movement forward or backward, right or left, direct or tortuous, now pro souls itself tn our choice, which would place us again on solid ground? These are momentous en qniries, but Uieir discussion open rather a wider field Uian we are willing to enter upon to-day, and we will therefore postpouo their consideration until to morrow. FAITH OF Till! STATE. Tho Cincinnati Uazettn ha t correspondent in Liverpool, England. From his last lettor we extract Uie following paragraph: In one of our paper I eo a notico of Uie veto in Uie House of Representatives of Ohio which made my heart glad it wns all but unanimously declared Uiat Uie Stato would never repudiate her debt.

It establishes no 6ani or lyslcm of banking, whatever, nor does it provisions apply to or touch any banting institution nolo in existence it merely lays down Uie principle by which bank Uiat tome future Legislature may charter shall be governett ! This was very liberal on the part of Uie 'Bunk Reform' Solon in Uie late Legislature, truly for it will save tiiose who succeed them from all trouble of thinking about Uie matter when Uiey come to act upon this most difficult of all subjects with which legislators have to do they will find the 'principles' by which banks should be governed furnished to their hands, and will have nothing further to do Uian adopt Uiein. Still, we should not be at all surprised, if in caso some future Legislature should see fit to charter a bank, if the member should consider themselves as coiripernr to provide by what principle it shall be governed aa were Uie worthies who occupied Uieir places in 14 1-2."

The laat Worcester (Maaa.1 Suv tells die fnllowinir remarkable story of a cure in that city by Mama- UM, or Jhiimal Magnetism : "At tho close of Uie lecture (Dr. Collverl on the 4th inst, a gentleman of respectability, well known in uus cominuniiy, ana wuo, ior two or uiree year past, was in the dry good business, came up to Uie lecturer, and roquested his assistance, to relieve him uf an excruciating pain under which he was then suf- icring, ana which lie had auttered most of Uio time for the last Uiree montli. He made the application in consequence of having been told Uiat Uie pain might be removed or relieved by Mesmerism. Dr. Collyer immediately commenced operations for the local Mesmerisation of the part affected. It being apparent Uiat the subject was highly susceptible of the Mesmeric inrluenUftiid a gentleman from Wil-braham, who has recently Mesmerised several ner- sons, being present, it was at once propoaed by some of the auditors, Uiat he and Dr. Collyer should put nun in the Mesmeric suite. Uperauon were immediately commenced for that purpose, Ute gentleman ' from VVilbruham making the usual passes, while Dr. Collyer exerted his Mesmeric power simply by the application of hie hands to the head of Uie sub ject Seeing Uiis going on, a bystander caught the uiea, to use ins own words on uie occasion, thai ' the effect might be increased by adding to the battery.' He then placed his hand upon Dr. Collyer' head, and exerted his Mesmeric power upon Uie subject, through mm ss a conducting medium. In short tunc, Uie perfect Mesmeric, or somnambulic state wa in troduced, exhibited all the phenomona usually attend ing iiii-reupoii. After such of Uie audience as remained about twenty in number had satisfied themstlvea of Uio raility nf Uie experiment ttio principal operator un- ucrwu to awaaen nun, or remove uie Wesmeno influence.

He therefore added his effort to those of hi coad jutor, but still Uie subject did not wake. Durinir their joint effort, Uie third operator stood near by, having " it'iiiea twit uie patient snauUt not unite by their eflorl'. iioioiu thorn mat they could not wako him, anil, soon after, they ceased from Uieir attempt Ho tlirit advanced to the subject, and made Uiree upward pusse with one hand before his face, on Uie third of which he awoke. The change wa instantaneous, from the rigidity of muscle and Uie cold and vacant expression of the Mesmeric state, to the relaxation, warmth and animation which succeeds it "But the most remarkable part of the story re mains to be told. Tho pain witii which Uie patient wa afflicted wa of a kind nearly allied to the Ho doloreux, proceeding primarily from defective teetii. it nail been almost unceasing lor more uian tlirco months, during Uie whole of which time he found it necessary to poultice his face, in order to obtain sleep, and had been obliged to get up from one to six time a night to have Uie poultice changed, w ith Ute exception of two nights, and on Uiese two night his rest was broken. When Uie Mesmeric condition was removed he stated to those present Uiat Ike vain teas gone. He went home, and Uiat night, for Uio first tune in uiree months, had unbroken sleep, which insiou an notir longer uian nis accustomed time. From that time to Uie last evening he had no return of the pnin, nor any symptoms of it and he ho now good reason to believe Uiat a cure ha been ell'ected.''
