An auction of un married 1 id i es u-e I to take pl,;?-e annually i 1 1 Babylon. In every district l h ? * s* assem bled on a certain d iv o( every year, ;ill tin* i virgins of a marriageable age.

The second in personal appear- ! ance followed, and tire bidders gratified them- i selves with handsome wives according to thf j depth of their purses. But alas! it seems i there were some ladies for whom no money ? was hkelv to be olferedryet those were all ! disposed of ? so provident were the Babylon- 1 intiS. \v*f&n all tiie beautiful virgin?, . the historian, were sold, the crier orders the most deformed to stand up, and after he had openly demanded who would marry her with a small sum, she was at length adjudged to the man who would be satisfied with the least, and in this manner the money arising from the sale of a handsome woman served as a portion to those who were either of disagreea ble looks, or that had any other imperfec tions." This custom prevailed about five hundred vears before Christ. CHARACTER OF SUB-TREASURERS.

M&v 19, 1833 v" / ? 30 Extract from the Spt'sch of' Mr. RUKTT. ' on ihr Cumberland Head Mil. Mr. Sp aj<er. I have been 1 1 ? ? r a litii,* sue- ! plised at the tone which nctit!?*in' -i wiio have j discussed this subject. have thought pioperi to use in the debate. '1 Ii<* south. sir. is still i :? part of this cotifedciacv : and when 1?- tr isl ji - I Hon. such ;is f 1 1 r> expenditure under this bill j is [imposed. witK h may bring in its train far ? higher subjects of consideration, peculiarly' allectins our interests, it does appear to nie not irrelevant or improper, that we should point to them. If there are matters upon which we are peculiarly sensitive, as the la? r .ft". b"eause we have peculiarly sufferejl.; it would be the part of wisdom, I shouljJ sup pose, to allay our dissatisf ^tion, and to legis late, as fir as possif- ? t? preserve the har mony of the Union, and strengthen the affec tion of ihe various parts of the confederacy towards each or her. Was this Government omnipotent lur evil, however bad, in r.iv ? ? I i -? tabl?\ prccedenj. Mould noi <& tirely condemn the coitr^c, bf answering ar-~ gument, by sneers and denunciations. But gentlemen know, or ought to know, that there is a limit sornewheie to its powers. There.i$ a public opinion, on which it hangs, likb. in- 1 fancy, for its support a.id continuance. Al though, in a just cause, it may match the most power ill nations upon earth ifi resisting I aggression from abroad; in aiww?g cause, it I is absolutely powerless a4&j)j?rpose of coercion over the members of me confedera cy. Free-will has created, and free-will cau and will dissolve it. It exists, not by the force of bayonets and the thunder of ord nance, but by the breath of the people's nos trils. Powerful^ because beloved, when Mov ing within its legitimate sphere, of superin tending the great interests common to all : weak, because detested,/ -when it UsUrps a mastery over sectional intefestsi and plays the mean, poor part of the oppressor. In such a Government, more than any upon earth, ought kindness, conciliation, and courtesy, to characterize the debates and councils of those who direct its destinies.' Far different, however, has been the course of those who, on this occasion, have mingled in this debate. I If we telf you that jour legislation is unjust, and question the constitutional authority bv which-- millions have been squandered, with trio limits in prospect to the expenditure of frnlfions more upon the same absurd project, the gentleman Trow Indiana (Mr. Randan), replies, sim^ly^by^eclaring that these are! fashionable, stereotyped constitutional objec tions ;'r as tif the constitution was obsolete, or only beloffi|ecr to the press and the bookcase. If we venture to state that there are, obvi ously, iro.iiijftiBS in the Tieasury to meet the ,j>rppqNjted-: expenditure, and only hint,- as the gentleman from Georgia has done, to the [ only resort by which the appropriation must ^uliimate'y be supplied? the tariff? we are jtold by- the"- gen ilema n from Massachusetts, ^IVfr. Gushing,) that we raise a bug-bear, a stalking-horse, and he cries " away with it." Whether we allude to the subject of slacery or not. it is thrust into the debate ; and ihe *? fever" of soufhern fcepresentatives, i^-on the presentation of abolition petitions, it natter for taunt and sneer with the gentleman from Kentucky, (Mr. Southgate.) and he talks of".earthqua1ces" in the south. Sir, such a course as this is not new. It is exactly as pold as sfupid tyranny, which has ever been deaf to the discontents i?f the people^ until struck aghast by the whirlwind of revolution. [ If theirieelihgs and opinions h.id been always 'regarded-, history would haye lost its deepest interest-; and tlte proud, -but melancholy tale . it coirtainV^f" man's struggles for liberty and resistance to oppression^ woulctnotliave glow ed in its burning -parges. ?
