!" VVwo says tins ? Xol the conduct
of many a visitor! Bui the Book of T? utii
asserts it, a id they wiio read tnat negiected
book least frequently, remember it
leas, constantly. I do not entertain a
superstutojs reverence for any thing j
hi f of oncks or stone or mortar; yet I j1
confess that I look upon a church, where 1
G > i is wors i.pped in puritv and truth,
witu fur more exalted feelings than any '
oiher nidding can call forth. J
Sj an time ago I was in a church where J
sa; a young lady in a direct line from the !
pu pit to myself, so that I could not avoid <
s-o.i.g aor actions. Her head was turn. 1
tug :o one si ;e and to the other, until
her eve rested on me with a positive i
s' ire. Away it went again; hut in a
moment after, up came her hand, he deck- i 1
eJ wain jcweiled rings, the ribbands on 1'
t h- mcr of her bonnet, or something on j '
her neck required to be constantly re- j'
ar-4?ged; an J no fiogersiiut the glitter-I
"i lg ones, cmpoyed for the purpose.? 1

d*-l io speak of ia tins articL : it struck i'
my u i ?, an i I concluded to dispose of it , i
here. YY at I tool most inclined to com- }1
pla.a of is, the behaviour of a portion of I
t.i e ? gfgitioa during the brief space of J '
tan? occupied bv the minister in pro- 1 1
no ?icing ihe blessing. T lis is a solemn J 1
s^rv.ce; and though it is sometimes spo- 1
ken in a careless and hasty manner, still '
I see ho reason why tiie nearersshould not c

Amid ail tnis confusion, the minister :l
pronounces his benediction. A few have r'

Policy of the General Government. }
O ir p.i >i.c adit.rs have for a long period .
of nine been in great confusion. Our
fi anrev., currency, and business have
b e i grevo i>lv deranged during the ex;>
r.me ttal policy pursued since the Chief
M gstrate of tiio United States took
i.i.ti Ins custody and keeping the reveEvea
those revenues which w$re
then superabundant have ceased to meet
the annual expenditures, and money
raised upon the governmental paper Ins
supplied the deficiency. Attempts are
maUe to justify this extraordinary state of
things011 the ground that the curiencv is
and ??as been excessive ; that through the
influences of this excess credits have become
extravagant, trade has gone beyond
the limits or' prudence, importations have
become immoderate, and property has
acquired an unnatural value. The apparent
objv.*ct of tiie policy is to reluin the
revenues under the more immediate conlro!
of the Executive, and to check credits
among the People by diminishing the
amount of money in circulation. Tiic
realtffct is to diminish business by lessening
the means employed'to carry it on,
and thus curtailing the value of property,!
and the wages of labor. Among men |
without wealth credit stands in the place i
of capital, and just to the extent it is di- |
minished bv this policy a decline in busi-1
ness must follow, drawing after it a proportionate
fall in wages.
Tne whole weight of the Administra- j
tion has been thrown upon the currency, j
and its fortunes staked upon so reforming i
it as to restrain credits and trade founded j
upon them.
The currency has been reduced t il |
money has commanded ruinous rates of i
interest; *rade has declined ; importa- J
tions have been diminished, but not more j
than other business; credits have l>cen j
curtailed, as a vast multitude of distressed i
Jehrors can testify; property and wages j
have been lowered; but vhere is the
prosperity I ha' was to follow ? Where
the golden era of fruition ? The aching
jyesofmmy are still stretched in vain
after it, while it recedes like the mirage
}f the desert before the weary traveller.
Since this policy commenced, years
have passed away, and what have we
realized but the tortures of the experiment?
In what has our condition been
mproved ? The People have yet to learn
tow those who are not born to inheritan- |
:es are to carrv on a successful business!
* l
vithout credit, or how the country can j
>e made to prosper without it. They \
lave yet to learn how reducing the cur- j
ency is to bring relief, when they see
heir property sacrificed and themselves j
iverwhchned for the want of money. If,
is many believe, the sub-Treasury act |
vill diminish importations, by restraining
red its, we have yet to learn that it will
iot atfect domestic business and trade,
1 ??? I
krisen arc 01 vasny greater ni.igniiu'.ic ;
nd importance, in the same manner, Tor j
mrrency and credit tire as indispensable !
o the one as to the other.
Massachusetts, believing that no such
avorahie results as have been anticipated
r<,u' I be realized has,'from the commencenetit
of it, firmly opposed this policy,
rotesting against it as unwise, injurious,
nd an alarming invasion of the liberties
f the People. She deplored that act hv
'hich the revenues were taken from the}
ustody of law and employed to enlarge
nd strengthen Executive power. She I
resisted the sub-Treasury act because it:
ubstantinlly legalizes that dangerous
iiiOi of the Executive with the moneyed i
owcr, and iiecau.se s'ue considers it as |
he initiatory step towards a paper cur- j
cncy founded on the credit of the United i
fates. With such a power, in ambitious |
iand", she saw that her own momentary j
institutions would he subject to Executive j
ontrol, and might be deranged or crip- |
>led at pleasure. She saw, indeed, noth- j
ng to hope, hut much to fear, and stood I
inn in her nurnose. amid the the triumph :
" I I *
>fthe friends of this policy, warning the
^jople of the danger. She has been
iea;\l, and a response given, condemning
lie system by an emphatic expression of
mblic opinion.
The Tariff.
A great crisis is at hand, when Con.
,rress must s? ttle the measure of protection
i llicit the labor of this part of the country
s to derive from the assessment and
oliection of the revenue from importa- |
ions. We shall look to the coming event j
i ith deep anxiety, trusting that it will be ,
not in the spirit of conciliation and inutu. J
I concession, and harmonize, in a corn, i
uon prosperity, all the great interests of
ho country. Nothing short of this can
;ive stability to our republican Governnenf,
and impart contentment to the
Vople. In the accomplishment of this
lesirahle object, in which no one has a
greater stake than the laborer, I cannot
loubt all good citizens will unite with
leal.
What we ought most anxiously to seek
s a wise, firm, and steady policy; for i
lothing more deranges business than flucuating
legislation. To be stable, it must
>e just: for if it shall disregard one class
o favor another, the wound inflicted by
mch partiality will fester till the whole
system beeomes diseased. The harmony
)f the States and the preservation of the
Union are of suen momentous cuusiuuiaion
that they demand the exercise of the
greatest wisdom and patriotism from all
juartcrs.' Nothing can tend more strong,
y to such an end than the adoption of a
comprehensive policy, embracing all the
jreat interests of the c-ountrv, and I trust
D " 9
the wisdom of Congress will be un ited to
accomplish a result so necessary and so
anxiously desired.

The only Magazine in this country intended
for the p rusal of Females that is edited by their

This is an important matter, and should be

for their own, or t> eir daughters' instruction
and amusement.
The LADY'S BOOK has been published by
the same proprietor tor noarly eleven years, and
during that time he can safely say, that no article
has been admitted into its columns that parents
might not with safi ty read to their children. It
has bjen hisco istaut cire to prevent the work
from being sectarian, political or disputatious.
He has watched its progress from its
first appearance in the world of letters, to its
now almost mituro ag". How many vain
efforts have boon made during the period of its
existence to cstablsii a rivalry?how many are
still making but in vain ! The Book may almost
be considered tho creation of a taste for periodical
literature. There is but one m tgizine now

was t!.e earliest periodical to offer remuneration
