.Norvell, in -a speech delivered in the U. S. Senate, says, "Two years ago, the little State of Ahode Island, one year since the State of Connecticut, three short months past the empire State of New York fell into the hands of political friends of Senators over the way. And what was the immediste result? Sir, in Rhode Island and Con necticut, the Republican incumbents wee swept by hundreds from office for political reasons alone. Was there any difficulty in finding pure and patriotic Whigs to sup ply their places? No, sir! The only dif ficulty produced by the emergency was, in making selections among the crowds of hungry vultures anxious to fat ten upon the public crib. The atrocious injustice, the cruel tyranny of removals from office, the suffering wives and children, the starving families of the dismissed officers, were libr gotten as things of by-gone days. Mlem ory was bathed in the waters of Lethe, and no longer remembered what had been said and sung prior to the halcyon.days of Federal triumph. In New York, whose able Republican son had been stigmatised as the proclaimer of the "spoils" doctrine, towards whom no- epithet of Federal re probation was too strong for daily utter ance,the first days of the Whig saturnalia, have been celebrated by the proscription of some of the best public officers ever confided in by the people of that or any other Commonwealth. Sir, her accoti plished Secretary of State, the able Comp troller of her financial interests, not less remarkable for his stern integrity and frm ness than for his solid talents, the Treasu rer, the Attorney General, known here as a man of great ability, and all others that could be stricken down, have been swept from the board; and no virgin timidity, no coy reluctance, no holy horror of re movals for political cause, no contempt for the spoils of victory, have presented any obstacle to the elevation of patriotic and office hunting Whigs to the places vicated by these removals. Indeed, sir, the pub lic journals tell us that a multitude of can didates were brought forward, and prepa red to fill each and all of these stations." . If this statement be correct, and we be lieve it is, what unparalleled audacity do the Whigs evince, in crying out oppres sion! To the charge of removing their opponents from office, and putting their own partizans in their room, they and the Administration are equally obnoxious. If the Adiminigtration men deserve ihe odious name of "Spoils party," so do the Whigs. The latter repudiate the doctrine, that " to the victors belong the spoils." Why not repudiate the practice? Let the Whigs cease to throw stones-they are not guilt less. We are not the advocaies of pro scription by any party. Honest, capable, and well meaning men should not be re moved for mere opinion's sake. This would be ruthless persecution indeed! But we see no reason why any government should suffer a host of its worst and must unsparing enemies to remain ia office, merely, to throw obstacles in its way. '. This would be a sort of political suicide." We have thought it our duty to hold up this picture of the Whigs, and the Van Buren Democrats, to our readers, in order that they might form a fair and impartial opinion. Jtisceilaneous. From the N. Y. Commercial Advertiser, VERY LATE EttoM ENGLAND.-Th~e packet steam ship Liverpool, Capt. Fay rer, arrived'the 7th May, after a fine pas sage of seventeen days,. from Liverpool, Our dates by the Liverpool are, Lon don to the evening of A pril 19th, and Liv. erpool the 20th, both inclusive. The intelligence by ibis arrival is of high interest, and quite remarkable. One of those sudden tturns in the progress of events has taken place, whtich sometimes occur to balle all calculation, and show the folly of political prophecy. For months p~ast our tidings from Europe have been still of gathering clouds on the political horizon, daily increasing in blackness and in volume; and wearing an aspect soi thtreatening that it see med almost itnpossi ble but that they must be attended with tempest and convulsion. In a moment, as it were, we find them dispersed, and all arottnd is sutnshine and gladness. The hostile appearances between En gland and our own country have entirely disappeared--the o'ccasions of jealotusy and bickering between France and Enig land, and England and Russia,, have been removed by courteous diplomacy-in the East the alarming condition of affairs is succeeded by such a change as almost to tally removes the possibility of serious trouble-in France the wisdom and firm ness of the King have piloted him safely through the difficulties of his position, and the facdions projects of his etnemies are scattered to the winds-the long pending quarrel betweed Holland and Belgium is peaceably adjusted-and in a word the wvhole aspect of- European affairs has not been for years more strongly indicative of guiet and prosperity than at the present wnoment.. The following glowing description of the location lately selected for the capital of Texas, is taken from the Houston Intelui gencer of the 2,5th ult.. CAMP OF '*ELBERGER'5PRA:RE. ' I have returned from Waterloo, the con templated new seat of Government, which I visited in company with General Burle son. It is the most beatutiful and at the same time the most stublime scene I evet saw. I know that yout w'll be dlelightedl with it, and I frequently wvished that you were present to enjoy the scenery, as I saw it. in all the majesty of nature atnd the verdure of spring. The atmosphere wvas charged with the most delightful per (tume-and every shruh, every hill, and every flower seemed to extend a welcome to the weary traveller. I never expected to realize your eloquent descriptiotn of~ Tlexas till I saw the landhs of the upper Colorado. There are hundireds of the most beautiful sities for building round the ton.. level, an.1 Romeniself ,, ith all it famous hills, could not have surpassed the natural scenery of Waterloo. When I have a better opportunity I will send you a landscape of the spot atnd the surround ing country. The frontier is now quiet, and perfectly safe. The valley from La Grange to the mountains, presents a beautiful prospect to (he eye of the traveller. All fears of an Indiau invasion are now dissipated, and the people are actively employed in culti vatitig their crops. The inhabitants say they have not felt as safe in three years. Burleson has acted like a hero and a skil ful officer. He has defeated the Indians and routed the Mexicans, all without ex pense to Government or injury to the plan ting itterest. From the Washington Gloh SUB TREASURY SrsTEM IN CUBA. Among the documents cunimunicated to the Senate at the less session of Con gress, was one from the Treasury, com posed of answers received from the United States consuls in many foreign countries, in reply to queries addressed to them ott the subjects of currency and revenue in the different countries in which they resided. Among the answers so received was an elabmrate and carefully prepared commu nication from Mr. Trist, the consul at Ha vana, which,.besides answering the speci fic inquiries addressed to him, entered pretty largely into details, vouched by evi dence, to show not only that a Government may carry on: all its operations in hard tmoney, butthata comnnnity may do so also; and that credit, commerce, and in dustry, may flourish to the highest degree on such a currency, and without the knowl .edge of paper money, or banks, and des pite of the paralyzing influences of a des potic Government, and the euervating ef Iects of a tropical climate. As there is no diffusion of information eqal to that which is afforded by the columns of a newspaper: we have thought that aportion of ours might well lie employed in giving some extracts from Mr Trist's communication. convinced that such of our fellow-citizus as believe.that "this Federal Government was maznde by hard money men, and inten ded to he a hard money Government," will read it with avidity and exultation, and that even those who have been stri ving to make it a paper money Govern me.,t. eannot object to see a practical ar gumient, bottomed wholly upon facts and experience. that the Government may subsist without dependence upon b hanks, however indispensable they may consider them as stimulators of trade. Mr. Trist shows that the Island of Cuba is h)out forty-three thousand square miles in extent; that it has a population of about a million of soulq, nearly one half slaves; that its foreign and domestic commerce is about forty-three millions of dollars, its taxes fourteen millions, and its currencv exclusively gold. We say exclusively gold, for Mr. Trist says there is no silver except for the two lowest denominations of change, to wit; the bit and the half-bit, being the eighth and the sixteenth of a dol lar; all the rest is g6ld, consisting of the doubloon, rated at seventeen dollars; ',he ialf doubloon, the quarter doubloon, and the eighth. With this crrency, and with out the instrumentality of banks, Mr.Trist preceeds to -show how the Governmen manages its revenue of fourteen millons; tow the merchants tanage their foreign exporting and importing trade offorty three millions. und how the people nanage their daily transactions, exceeding, in all proba. bility. a thousand millions of dollars per annuim. With reepect to the Government, Mr. T. shows I, that the ns hole reventue of the island is collected in gold and silver coin. or more properly speaking in gold only, as they have no silver except hits and half hits for small change: 2, that the Govern ment itself directs the kind of money to be received; 3. that the tmonev is kept byv pub lie treastirers: 4. that it is placed in vautlts and coffers, secured by three locks (of dif ferent sizes) the keys of wvhich are kept by three difi'erent offieers; 5, that these oflicers givebonds;6 tha~t the motteys are paid out by the treasurer; 7, that the same identical moaney is paid out for the Government which was received for the Government, no one beinig allowed to change it; 8, that payments were made under the direction of the intendant antd accountant general; 6, that remittances were made by Govern ment bills of exchange: 10, that no pubhlic money could he used by an officer for his own affairs, 11, that a monthly counating of the public moneys took lacne. In this way, Mr. Tr. shows that the Government collected, kept, and disbursed its revenues, and all without trouble, loss, or inconveni ence, or dependence, or connection with any, or upon any but its own oflicers. The averace cost of the collection, keeping, andr disbursing the igblic moneys, for the whole islatnd, is less than 3& per cent.; the cost for H avana and the district which contains it is otnly 2j per cent. Losses and defal cations are almost wholly unknown.

I Misery tn China.-No literature in the world teems with so many maxims of morality as that of Chiua; it strives to in culcate charity and benevolence; but we are afraid that it has but little influencEon the practice of the people. It is not an uncummon sight, walking through the streets of Canton, to see wretches iii the most abject state of poverty, lying hud died together on the cold pavemienit,where they are left to die, unpitied and unreliev ed by the thousands that pass by the. Six of these miserable creatures, more dead than alive, were lately seen in a square lying together with three others al ready become cor)ses, and one of the poor wretches was seen to despoil Ihe dead t of theirscanty covering to shelter her Iron I the cold. Yet though thousands of their I countrymen beheld their misery, not an arm was stretched forth to give relief, nor , aI morsel of food was given them to prolong their miserable existence. Such sights t are any thing but uncommon in the I crowded streets of Canton. t SERtso.-Who does not feel the revivi- L fVing effects of this balmy -spring time of the year."
