gggjii.i m i egaaawB 11 Jbe Financial Aspects of the Conntry. One of our Wall street journals gets into a fright at the .threatening appearance of a surplus revenue, accumulating to twenty millions of dollars by December next. It states that there are in the vaults of the Custom House in tv ail street, at this moment, nearly seven and a half millions in gold and silver?the largest amount ever in the hands of the government at one time. The threatening prospect of a surplus revenue, and the vast accumulation of gold and silver in the vaults of the government depository, spring, of course, from the prodigious foreign importations which have been taking place during the last year, up to this date. It is further tvuly said that we are buying, beyond all former time, from Europe, silks, velvets, ribbons, &c., and paying for them in California gold, railroad l>onds, State bonds, city bonds, county bonds, and bonds of all kinds. The causes of this state of facts are not examined by our coiemporary. He proposes, however. some reraedv for the vast accumulation of gold and silver in the government vaults, caused by the prodigious importations from foreign countries. This remedy is suggested to be the abolition of all taxes on a variety of articles, by the enlargement of the free lists of importations. In other words, some change in the tariff is suggested, either iu the abolition of a variety of duties, or such an increase ot other duties as would amount to a virtual prohibition. The description given by our cotemporary of the financial condition of the government is correct. The remedy which is proposed springs from ignorance and a want ot knowledge ol inose | remarkable causes which have been producing the disturbances in the foreign trade, and the prodigious increase in importations. A mere tariff of either high or low duties, affect but to a very small extent the foreign importations into this country. The condition of the paper currency within our country is more at the bottom of those disturbances in the foreign trade than any law which can be passed by Congress ! During the last forty years, it catv be shown by figures?which generally tell the truth ?that whenever there is an inflation in the currency, a re dundancy in paper money, or paper credits of any kind, there will always be a proportional redundancy in the foreign importations of all beautiful and high-priced manufactured goods. Look over our commercial history for the last thirty years, and you will find the facts on record. The first inflation in the currency of this country, took place between 1812 and 1817. The consequence was necessarily, under any state of the tariff, a redundancy of importations, and a revulsion between the years 1814 and 1817, when the balances had accumulated against this coun4 ?? L? '1 Lrtrtn mnrlo f/\l? C*\A/t1A irv, auu a ucuiauu uau v/ucu uiauo iv? o^vrvic. All the banks then suspended payment; .and from this blow upon commercial interests, the country only gradually recovered after the rechartering of the National Bank which commenced operations in the latter part of 1816.? The vast increase of imj>orts which took place in this country between 1830 and 1837, was also produced in a great degree by the redundancy in the paper system, and the vast multiplication of banks, bonds, and credits of all kinds. That multiplication oftcreftta, enabled every one to purchase all the taxuaes of foreign manufactures, Axvd inor*- ugfct'Qju baflQfebs against the country ; and when tnese balances were demanded, the banks in New York suspended payment in 1837, and the wbole credit system of the country fell to the ground. We are entering on a similar crisis at the present day. The symptoms at this time resemble those which produced the revulsion of 1817, and the still more terrible revulsion of 1837. It is the multiplication of credits of all descriptions? banks, paper money, bonds of every kind?which nmduras th?w? vast, imnnrt.atinns and anv tar iff, high or low, moderate or nothing whatever, has very little to do with the movements in the foreign trade. There never was a time when the credit system was extending so rapidly as it is at this moment. Every one is establishing a bank, every State issues its railroads bonds, every country floods Wall street with its certificates; money of all kinds was never so plenty ; extravagance is increasing, railroads are building, houses and palaces erecting, and the whole country is going ahead under the pressure of a multiplicity of credit svstems, strengthened and encouraged by the importation of two or three millions of gold dust from California every fortnight. As long as the importation of gold from California can pay the balances to the foreign merchants in Wall street, our mighty credit system will go ahead with great and increasing rapidity. But paper and credits can be multiplied faster than gold can be dug out of California or Australia. The period of revulsion must come as certainly as that the night follows the day, or that the equinoctial storm will terminate the summer. The unregulated credit system seems to be the natural principle upon which this country goes ahead. No law, national or State, can re^ch it. If the capitalists of Wall street or Europe cash the bonds of ever)' city and town and country in the Union, no one can prevent them doing so. Our credit system, our banking nysM.*m, our commercial system, is u wiicl, unrogu lated system, and must always run in circles of repose, expansion, speculation, revulsion, in periods of fifteen or twenty five years'continuance. Congress cannot check it.?Com 111011 sense is set aside. Its advantages are gr-al in developing rapidly this country in all its mighty resources and characteristics. Its disadvantages merely affect the speculators of the day, by making the man who supposes himself at one moment the possessor of immense wealth, find himself bankrupt and pauperized at the end of the chapter. This is the natural and inevitable termination to the inflated and baseless system of unregulated credit which now pre\ails in this metropolis and country. The only question is, the time at which the impending blow may fall. Stand from under in time.?N. Y.

Remedy for Tetter.?A strong decoction of ru?- i? an infallible r.-mcdy for this "troublesome affliction. It is as 6imple as it is efficacious. i Correspondence of the Charleston Courier. Washington, Oct. 10. I find upon inquiry at the Treasury that the surplus revenue on the first of Janupry,*will probably amount to twenty millions, as has been supposed. But I also learn that importations are not increasing; though they have, as has been recently stated, been increased at the port of New-York, they have, during the same time, t decreased at other ports. The public debt can- j not be reduced any more rapidly than is provided for in the lean acts. It is not true, therefore, that any stocks of the United States are to be bought in with the twenty millions. These stocks are about eighteen per cent above par, ( and the loan act does not provide for their pur chase, except at par. Towards the close of the late session, in antici- . pation of the accumulation of a surplus, the Executive applied to Congress for an act to permit the purchase of stocks at market price. But ( though the Committees were in favor of it, the bill did not pass. The money will remain heaped up in gold and silver in the Treasury. But Congress will have a scramble for it. One of our numerous Bogus Banks exploded yesterday,- It was called the Bank of the Union, and belonged to T. A. Gallagher, son of one of the Auditors. There was a run on the bank of the Republic, , but it held out. The Commissioners appointed by the I'resi ; dent to go to Mexico and investigate the Gardiner case and visit his pretended mines, if they can be found, arc Captain French, of the Aiiny, and Lieut. Hunter, (inventor of the propeller) of the Navy. ( The Senate Committee appointed, on their , part, Capt. Dupont, of the Navy, Samuel A. Partridge, and Buckingham Smith, who was lately Secretary of Legation in Mexico. Gardiner has refused to accompany the Commission, for ; the alleged reason that one of them, Mr. Smith, i is said to be prejudiced against his claim, as every one now is, since the report of the House Committee. But the Commissioners will proceed to Mexi co, and make inquiries to various claims, under the instructions of the Committee. Goii. Scott's Speech at Cincinnati. The following is a full report of Gen. Scott's speech in reply to the welcome addresses: Fellow-citizens of the Buckeye State and of the Queen city of the West: It has been my fortune to face multitudes of my country's enemies on the battle field, but never was I so nearly overcome as now. (Cheers.) Never before have I met with so warm a reception. (Deafening cheers.) On the way to your beautiful city, at the levees and all along the streets, I have read the welcome in the faces of this generous people, and have literally felt the embrace of a thousand arms worthy to defend any country. (Applause.) Among those, I am glad to have recognized, as I passed along your crowded streets, the familiar accents of many of your Irish and Germau citizens, whose countrymen fought so brave1 - / %? i 1*1 IV on me plains 01 Mexico, ana reuaerea mere such essential service to their adopted country. In the field they manifested a devotion to her interests, and a manly bravery, which could have been surpassed by no other people but our own. I always saw them fighting with admiration, and I shall always speak oflhem with praise. (Cheers.) My countrymen, I have within the sound of my voice many besides those who rank themselves with the Whig party of this nation. A voice. Yes, here are Democrats. Gen. Scott I am glad to meet you all. You have met to do some little honor to an old soldier, who has spent a long life in the service of his country ; for this honor, however little deserved, I thank you?it will be cherished among my most precious recollections. Fellow-Citizens?You could not hear all the able address of Judge Johnson. Pardon in me the seeming egotism of alluding to a portion of his speech. Your speaker alluded to that critical hour in our history when IIull had ingloriously surrendered, and the blackest clouds hung threa- ! tellingly on the horizon of our beloved country. It was then that I called around me men that u i - . _?.i .n .i? couiu ue irusicu, anu iuiu mem uic iiuui "?? come for the decisive blow?that a work must be done on the Canada frontier that would lift the hearts of the American people from the \ gloom of recent events, and enable them and i their children to ring bells, to fire cannon and build bonfires in commemoration of American victories that should otacure the. memory of Hull's surrender. We fell to work, and the thing was done. (Cheers.) The battles of Chippewa and Lundy's Lane followed. Personal Habits ok Presidential Candidates.?The New York Mirror has a sprightly article on trie personal habits ot Presidential candidates, and so forth. We quote : The Presidents of the United States, with one or two exceptions, have been remarkably abste miouft men, from Washington down. General Harrison drank whiskey and died. Gen. Taylor eat cucumbers and cherries, and drank milk, and died Mr. Fillmore, who is "temperate in all things." sticks to cold water, and " keeps cool" through all weathers?some of his friends think a little too cool. ut the candidates now oetorc tne people, v*en. i Scott is an epicure; Gen. Pierce a convive; and John P. Hale; a " hale fellow," who likes a good glass of hot whiskey punch before going to bed i on a cold night. But does any reasonable man . suppose that either of these candidates, if elcc- ! ted, would be guilty of any deflections from this straight line of dignified sobriety ? Not at all. | When a man becomes President of the United States, the very dignity of the position, and the responsibility attached to it, will keep him perpendicular per force. There is nothing left for him but the honorable discharge of his duties. The highest earthly ambition is gratified ; the highest round upon the political ladder is attained. Alas, how little do we appieciate a mother's tenderness while living ! How heedless arc we in youth of all her anxieties and kindness ? But when she is dead and gone, when the cares and coldness of the world come withering to our hearts when we experience how hard it is to find true sympathy, how few love us for ourselves, how few will befriend us in misfortune; then it is that we thiuk of mothers wohavo lo*t. . |r THE SEMLWEEKLY JOURNAL. ~ FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 15, 1852.

The poem from whence this verse is taken has been justly admired as a production of great merit. Scarcely a lino of the thirty-two verses, of lour lines eacli, but contains thought for profitable reflection The Poem, as is well known, is an "Elegy written in a Country Church-yard." It lias been said of it, by one aolo to judge, that "few Foetus were ever so popular.? Eleven editions of it have been printed, and ;thas i.jcc translated into Latin verse, and bears the marks of being one of the most favorite productions of the British Muse." The sentiment of the wholo Poem is admirable, and not unfrequently is it quoted by authors and orators, showing that genius may have lived and died in the bosom of "some Viilagc-Hampden," or of "Some mute inglorious Milton? Some Cromwell guiltless of his country's blood." It iB even thus that wo may often see that genius is obscured by the dark shadows of adversity, and he who is condemned to work his way through 'poverty's valo' to fames gilded dome, has a rugged and toilsome path to tread. No marvel that they who havo honors, may yet have more. Merit and truo genius aro not always eared for, and may bo discovered beneath the rough breast of tho honest yeoman, and unlettered artisan. "For knowledge to their eyes her ample page, Rich with tho spoils of timo did ne'er unroll, Chill penury repressed their noblo rago, And froze tho genial current of the soul." As "tho richost ore contains dross," so also does it sometimes happen that beneath the ruined mass may the brightest jewel bo discovered. Tho fate of such may bo read in the universal history of experience. How many thousands havo only been required when their country needed their services as targots on tho field of battle, whither thoy havo gono, and as a reward for their gallant devotion, either get shot, dio gloriously, or become patriotic boggars for tho roinnnnt. nfn miserable existonco, "Whoso lot forbad; nor circumscribod alono Their growing virtues, but their crimes confin'd; Forbad to wade througn slaughter to a throne.

Gentlemen:? I am now seventy-two years old, and for the last twenty or thirty years, if the Presidency had been offered spontaneously by the people of the United States, I would not have accepted it, because of my physical disqualij fication to execute the duties of that office. At | no period within that, could I, as an honest man, I have done so. Not many years ago the State j Rights party of Georgia were pleased to make ' that nomination, and my acquiescence was pla! ced on the footing that the acceptance would fulfil the object of the demand, viz: that otherwise, that party, which had very strong claims \ on me, as a native and citizen of Georgia, and could not conscientiously vote for any other candidate who had a fair prospect of success?were at liberty to vote for me, while other persons had none. It was the partiality of friendship which suggested a similar movement on the part of distinguished citizens of South Carolina on another occasion, and which I discountenanced for similar reasons. Your decided nomination on the present occasion, leaves me no alternative but to submit myself cheerfully to the will of the States' Rights Convention of Alabama, recently assembled at Montgomery, in that State, but for the sole purpose of organising that party. It, as well as the I States' Rights Party of any jx>rtion of the United States, may rightfully demand that which it i has only asked, because, in my day and generation I have labored to contribute a mite according to my humble abilities to sustain its principles : they are the only principles worth any- , thing to the Southern country, and as long as a Party of two or three can be gathered together for such purpose, the contribution of my name is the least I could think of making?at least for the purpose of merely organizing that Party? r but for that purpose only. The increasing pressure of disease forewarns me that but a short breathing s|m-1I remains, and I hasten to my conclusion. I wouhl vote for Pierce and King. Mr. King is a most excellent man, and I have not expected ever to Ije able to vote for a Northern man so pure and disint rest' ed as Mr. Pierce, ami you may never have such another opportunity. But you may use mv name as long as you please for organizing the States Rights party, and maintaining aud consecrating its principles. It is nnnoraoie to nave sucn an associate in i the nomination as Gen. Quitman : he deserves I and would adorn any office. G. M. Troup. 1 Messrs. Tlios. Williams, J. A. Elmore, Gabriel B.

"Whv,then Sir Richard," says the fellow, there , we have been working for your honor these six months and cannot get one penny of money. Pray sir, when do you design to pay us?" Very well, very well, said Sir Richard, "pray come down. I have heard quite enough. I cannot but own you speak very distinctly, though I don't much admire your subject."
