The -ue'doctrine whic sI'oldiwicM its initence ver the destines of our country is not to in. irmeddle with affairs foreign to our contin. nt, and if the course proposed be adopted in ference to Austria, what salal we also do nwards Great Britain, in consequ,enco of her rsh difficulties, France for interfering with alian independence, Russia for her barbari. es in Cnucasjes, her interference with the !agyar insurection, Holland for her cruel. es in the East Indies; and in fact all the ivilized powers of.the Earthl It is a bad recedent, one that has* a tendency to cause ur interference with matters totally foreign our goverament and policy, and one which lIould be universally deprecated, and stifled Sonce. A cal and considerate looker-on f the Hlungaria'a.revolution sees but a child lanstised for attempting to break frot the par nt's charge. The principles which actuated tat revolution may have been worthy the truggle, but what right hive we to suppose ?

We chanced to hear an musing conversation the other day, between Sdifunct member of the Legislature, and a iard fisted, but sensible old farmer. The Agialator after discoursing to him of the vonderfully corrupting influences of the 3ank, though lie would clinch the matter by elling him th it thirty individuals had actual. y borrowed seven hundred thousand dollars if the people's money. 'Yes,' (said the ma :er of laws with elevated brow and diluted lupils,) "the officers and directors of the 3ank have taken possession of this large mount ! ! !" "aindeed," (grunted the old ariner) "but is the debt safe, have they given ood securityl" "Yes," was the reply. 'Well, was not the money put there to be eaned; if no body else wants it, and they take t and use it and pay the interest to the State, do not see much harm in that, but if it is vrong to have directors who borrow so large. y, whose fault is it 1 Don't the Legislature alect these men, and is it right for the mem Pers to blame the Bank for their own neglect if duty ; but after all, if ihe money was not anned out, and mhe Bank failed to imake mo. ey, would you not say it ought to be wound i because it was an unprolikbe concern." he Legislator saw a man across the square Vith whoin he had buiiness, and left. The ild farmer, after rolling his tobacco over, hook his head and said, "No, no, there is omething wrong in this, the Bank has been faithful agent of the people for thirty.six 'ears and paid our debts and given us goo.i noney, I will go and have a talk with "the Squire" about this matter, and offhe march. ed.
