THE MIDNIGHT SKIES.
The mill night skies ? the midnight skies ?
O! what :i solrmn grandeur lies
Upon their brows' eternal height;
Anil yet around them wreathed, there seems
A halo, brighter than the beams
Caught from the smiles of life and light.

The midnight skies ? the midnight skies ?
Millions of ever-waking eyes
Look through their silent starry bowers,
Watching the wizard twin of death,
Sleep ? thinly moving on the b eath
Of mortals ? in this sphere of ours.
The midnight skies? the midnight skies ?
? - In vain the unbeliever tries
To laugh their. shadowy terrors off";

Of Godhead, so ineffable <

A Van Buren Sub- Trtasn r er .^ATe w weeks
as;o, a special commissioner- was directed by
the Government to exaroiiiesthe affair of the
|Ionia Land Office 'in Michigan. Finding
Only $9,000 in the.^aults of the office, he in
quired - of; the l ^ReCei^f where ,the balance
?wa^j.' The Receiver replied, that he had S9,
OOO^Wore deposited at Detroit; .The Com
missioner, not satisfied Witli'this assurance, ex
pVessed his determ i n a t i on fo go atird count the
funds at^0etroit,'aad asked the Receiver to
a c clom pariy'him. ^ T H ey accordingly started
togeth'e f,' bur after proceedih g a short d ist a n c e ,
th^'Receiver pretending to have' forgotten
something, requested the Commissioner to
wait for him ^galloped hacked to -Ionia, des-.
8 patched hrs $9,000 in spe^ie.with all possible
hasre to-^Betrbitrand -then rejoiced the Com
"missioner. ^ In due tirne'the^ Wo functioua
^ries arrived ttf Detroit, where the duped Com
OMP^ipner a^ain counted unconsciously the
identical coin that lie had previously counted [
at Ionia. Of course he pronounced every >
thing ri^lit, and made his report accordingly i
to the (lovermnent. In eight dnvs from tint
rime, the icveiver ran ;i\v;iy with all the funds
in his possession, and has not been heard ol
since.
Ai;ctio\ or La'Ii.s.? 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 most :
beautiful were first put up, and the man who ;
bid the largest sum of money gained posses- |
sioti of her. 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.
At length we are enabled to give our rea
ders some authentic information as to the

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

I monstrancesrdf our ane es to is were;tre"at ed fcy
members of the British:- Parliament.'' -Lojtd
Howe's' army was not^sent hcr4 to-;^fight/Jm^
to 44 look ' down opposition." ? To cScof^t
down, is, I suppose, -just as good a^aj uf
quelling difficulties.:
. " ? We are assembled here together, undei^
Representative . Government. One of t"Kj|
chief advantages of such a Govetoment is, to
I give to rulers a -knowledge of the wants, feel
ings., and opinions of the people. r:As.a- Re
presentative .upon this floor, it is the duty of
a southern member ;fo bring "to your know^
ledge, the wants, feelings and opinions of the
people Ire represents;.-' Iflie failed to give you
infoTmatkwv'he would fail in discharging his
duty-, riot only to those he represent tut to
you, his associate counsellors, under the or
ganization ofihis Government;'' F urther still,
sir,? we are bound not only to warn, ~ but to
advise you, and advise with voir, upon every
measure of your legislation pand faithfully to
strive to administer this Government consis
tently with, the rights, peace, -and happiness?
of the people of the whole Union.^ ^Vhen'*
therefore, in the discharge of these high du
tits, we referto past subjects of contention, or
caution you to avoid those which now or may
hereafter exisf, we only do what our situation
and tlie constitution require. We intern! m>
threats, no intimidation. A brave man seldom
threatens. He will express his opinions and
determinations, and- he will maintain the one
and enforce the othci , but-he will not* act
U|Ton the principle of fear? because he "feels
not its existence in his own bosom/ -Hence,"

A A*tiry little reflection convinced niemat^e
- inOependent of its doubtful constitutionality, .
the chartering of a United States Bank was
inexpedient, as calculated rather to increase
than to lessen the evil.
Under these circumstances I joined the
ranks of the conservatives, a party Whrcij, al
though the smallest in number, was, from its
position, enabled to control the legislation j.if ..
Congress, so far, at least, as to prevent thtu
passage of laws affecting the currency, w&icii
they thought would operate unfavorably. ?
In justification of the position whifh t*
then assumed, permit me here to state* that
the system of general deposites in,local banks* x '
though liable to great objection#,
failed so tnuch from defects inherent in lh'? jr;
system itself, as from extraneous causes. \
