Jbe Financial Aspects of the Conntry.
One of our Wall street journals gets into a
fright at the .threatening appearance of a surplus
revenue, accumulating to twenty millions of dollars
by December next. It states that there are
in the vaults of the Custom House in tv ail street,
at this moment, nearly seven and a half millions
in gold and silver?the largest amount ever in
the hands of the government at one time. The
threatening prospect of a surplus revenue, and
the vast accumulation of gold and silver in the
vaults of the government depository, spring, of
course, from the prodigious foreign importations
which have been taking place during the last
year, up to this date. It is further tvuly said
that we are buying, beyond all former time, from
Europe, silks, velvets, ribbons, &c., and paying
for them in California gold, railroad l>onds, State
bonds, city bonds, county bonds, and bonds of
all kinds.
The causes of this state of facts are not examined
by our coiemporary. He proposes, however.
some reraedv for the vast accumulation of
gold and silver in the government vaults, caused
by the prodigious importations from foreign
countries. This remedy is suggested to be the
abolition of all taxes on a variety of articles, by
the enlargement of the free lists of importations.
In other words, some change in the tariff is suggested,
either iu the abolition of a variety of duties,
or such an increase ot other duties as would
amount to a virtual prohibition.
The description given by our cotemporary of
the financial condition of the government is correct.
The remedy which is proposed springs
from ignorance and a want ot knowledge ol inose |
remarkable causes which have been producing
the disturbances in the foreign trade, and the
prodigious increase in importations. A mere
tariff of either high or low duties, affect but to a
very small extent the foreign importations into
this country. The condition of the paper currency
within our country is more at the bottom
of those disturbances in the foreign trade than
any law which can be passed by Congress ! During
the last forty years, it catv be shown by figures?which
generally tell the truth ?that whenever
there is an inflation in the currency, a re
dundancy in paper money, or paper credits of
any kind, there will always be a proportional redundancy
in the foreign importations of all beautiful
and high-priced manufactured goods. Look
over our commercial history for the last thirty
years, and you will find the facts on record. The
first inflation in the currency of this country,
took place between 1812 and 1817. The consequence
was necessarily, under any state of the
tariff, a redundancy of importations, and a revulsion
between the years 1814 and 1817, when
the balances had accumulated against this coun4
?? L? '1 Lrtrtn mnrlo f/\l? C*\A/t1A
irv, auu a ucuiauu uau v/ucu uiauo iv? o^vrvic.
All the banks then suspended payment; .and
from this blow upon commercial interests, the
country only gradually recovered after the rechartering
of the National Bank which commenced
operations in the latter part of 1816.?
The vast increase of imj>orts which took place in
this country between 1830 and 1837, was also
produced in a great degree by the redundancy in
the paper system, and the vast multiplication of
banks, bonds, and credits of all kinds. That
multiplication oftcreftta, enabled every one to
purchase all the taxuaes of foreign manufactures,
Axvd inor*- ugfct'Qju baflQfebs against the country ;
and when tnese balances were demanded, the
banks in New York suspended payment in 1837,
and the wbole credit system of the country fell
to the ground.
We are entering on a similar crisis at the present
day. The symptoms at this time resemble
those which produced the revulsion of 1817, and
the still more terrible revulsion of 1837. It is
the multiplication of credits of all descriptions?
banks, paper money, bonds of every kind?which
nmduras th?w? vast, imnnrt.atinns and anv tar
iff, high or low, moderate or nothing whatever,
has very little to do with the movements in the
foreign trade. There never was a time when
the credit system was extending so rapidly as it
is at this moment. Every one is establishing a
bank, every State issues its railroads bonds, every
country floods Wall street with its certificates;
money of all kinds was never so plenty ; extravagance
is increasing, railroads are building, houses
and palaces erecting, and the whole country is
going ahead under the pressure of a multiplicity
of credit svstems, strengthened and encouraged
by the importation of two or three millions of
gold dust from California every fortnight. As
long as the importation of gold from California
can pay the balances to the foreign merchants
in Wall street, our mighty credit system will go
ahead with great and increasing rapidity. But
paper and credits can be multiplied faster than
gold can be dug out of California or Australia.
The period of revulsion must come as certainly
as that the night follows the day, or that the
equinoctial storm will terminate the summer.
The unregulated credit system seems to be
the natural principle upon which this country
goes ahead. No law, national or State, can
re^ch it. If the capitalists of Wall street or
Europe cash the bonds of ever)' city and town
and country in the Union, no one can prevent
them doing so. Our credit system, our banking
nysM.*m, our commercial system, is u wiicl, unrogu
lated system, and must always run in circles of
repose, expansion, speculation, revulsion, in periods
of fifteen or twenty five years'continuance.
Congress cannot check it.?Com 111011 sense is set
aside. Its advantages are gr-al in developing
rapidly this country in all its mighty resources
and characteristics. Its disadvantages merely
affect the speculators of the day, by making the
man who supposes himself at one moment the
possessor of immense wealth, find himself bankrupt
and pauperized at the end of the chapter.
This is the natural and inevitable termination to
the inflated and baseless system of unregulated
credit which now pre\ails in this metropolis and
country. The only question is, the time at which
the impending blow may fall. Stand from under
in time.?N. Y. Herald.

Correspondence of the Charleston Courier.
Washington, Oct. 10.
I find upon inquiry at the Treasury that the
surplus revenue on the first of Janupry,*will probably
amount to twenty millions, as has been
supposed. But I also learn that importations
are not increasing; though they have, as has
been recently stated, been increased at the port
of New-York, they have, during the same time, t
decreased at other ports. The public debt can- j
not be reduced any more rapidly than is provided
for in the lean acts. It is not true, therefore,
that any stocks of the United States are to
be bought in with the twenty millions. These
stocks are about eighteen per cent above par, (
and the loan act does not provide for their pur
chase, except at par.
Towards the close of the late session, in antici- .
pation of the accumulation of a surplus, the Executive
applied to Congress for an act to permit
the purchase of stocks at market price. But (
though the Committees were in favor of it, the
bill did not pass. The money will remain heaped
up in gold and silver in the Treasury. But
Congress will have a scramble for it.
One of our numerous Bogus Banks exploded
yesterday,- It was called the Bank of the Union,
and belonged to T. A. Gallagher, son of one
of the Auditors.
There was a run on the bank of the Republic, ,
but it held out.
The Commissioners appointed by the I'resi ;
dent to go to Mexico and investigate the Gardiner
case and visit his pretended mines, if they
can be found, arc Captain French, of the Aiiny,
and Lieut. Hunter, (inventor of the propeller) of
the Navy. (
The Senate Committee appointed, on their ,
part, Capt. Dupont, of the Navy, Samuel A.
Partridge, and Buckingham Smith, who was lately
Secretary of Legation in Mexico. Gardiner
has refused to accompany the Commission, for ;
the alleged reason that one of them, Mr. Smith, i
is said to be prejudiced against his claim, as every
one now is, since the report of the House
Committee.
But the Commissioners will proceed to Mexi
co, and make inquiries to various claims, under
the instructions of the Committee.
Goii. Scott's Speech at Cincinnati.
The following is a full report of Gen. Scott's
speech in reply to the welcome addresses:
Fellow-citizens of the Buckeye State and of
the Queen city of the West: It has been my
fortune to face multitudes of my country's enemies
on the battle field, but never was I so nearly
overcome as now. (Cheers.) Never before
have I met with so warm a reception. (Deafening
cheers.) On the way to your beautiful city,
at the levees and all along the streets, I have
read the welcome in the faces of this generous
people, and have literally felt the embrace of a
thousand arms worthy to defend any country.
(Applause.)
Among those, I am glad to have recognized,
as I passed along your crowded streets, the familiar
accents of many of your Irish and Germau
citizens, whose countrymen fought so brave1
- / %? i 1*1
IV on me plains 01 Mexico, ana reuaerea mere
such essential service to their adopted country.
In the field they manifested a devotion to her
interests, and a manly bravery, which could have
been surpassed by no other people but our own.
I always saw them fighting with admiration, and
I shall always speak oflhem with praise. (Cheers.)
My countrymen, I have within the sound of
my voice many besides those who rank themselves
with the Whig party of this nation.
A voice. Yes, here are Democrats.
Gen. Scott I am glad to meet you all. You
have met to do some little honor to an old soldier,
who has spent a long life in the service of
his country ; for this honor, however little deserved,
I thank you?it will be cherished among
my most precious recollections.
Fellow-Citizens?You could not hear all the
able address of Judge Johnson. Pardon in me
the seeming egotism of alluding to a portion of
his speech. Your speaker alluded to that critical
hour in our history when IIull had ingloriously
surrendered, and the blackest clouds hung threa- !
tellingly on the horizon of our beloved country.
It was then that I called around me men that

come for the decisive blow?that a work must
be done on the Canada frontier that would lift
the hearts of the American people from the \
gloom of recent events, and enable them and i
their children to ring bells, to fire cannon and
build bonfires in commemoration of American
victories that should otacure the. memory of
Hull's surrender. We fell to work, and the thing
was done. (Cheers.) The battles of Chippewa
and Lundy's Lane followed.
Personal Habits ok Presidential Candidates.?The
New York Mirror has a sprightly
article on trie personal habits ot Presidential candidates,
and so forth. We quote :
The Presidents of the United States, with one
or two exceptions, have been remarkably abste
miouft men, from Washington down. General
Harrison drank whiskey and died. Gen. Taylor
eat cucumbers and cherries, and drank milk, and
died Mr. Fillmore, who is "temperate in all
things." sticks to cold water, and " keeps cool"
through all weathers?some of his friends think
a little too cool.
ut the candidates now oetorc tne people, v*en. i
Scott is an epicure; Gen. Pierce a convive; and
John P. Hale; a " hale fellow," who likes a good
glass of hot whiskey punch before going to bed i
on a cold night. But does any reasonable man .
suppose that either of these candidates, if elcc- !
ted, would be guilty of any deflections from this
straight line of dignified sobriety ? Not at all. |
When a man becomes President of the United
States, the very dignity of the position, and the
responsibility attached to it, will keep him perpendicular
per force. There is nothing left for
him but the honorable discharge of his duties.
The highest earthly ambition is gratified ; the
highest round upon the political ladder is attained.
Alas, how little do we appieciate a mother's
tenderness while living ! How heedless arc we
in youth of all her anxieties and kindness ? But
when she is dead and gone, when the cares and
coldness of the world come withering to our hearts
when we experience how hard it is to find true
sympathy, how few love us for ourselves, how
few will befriend us in misfortune; then it is that
we thiuk of mothers wohavo lo*t.

pg-Qpe of the best of the British Poets, Thohas
Gray, whose name may be associated with the greatest
of the modern poets, has said:
"Full many a gem of purest ray serene,,
The dark unfathom'd cavos of ocean bear
Full many a flower is born to blush unseen,
And waste its sweetness on the desert air."
The poem from whence this verse is taken has been
justly admired as a production of great merit. Scarcely
a lino of the thirty-two verses, of lour lines eacli,
but contains thought for profitable reflection The Poem,
as is well known, is an "Elegy written in a Country
Church-yard." It lias been said of it, by one aolo
to judge, that "few Foetus were ever so popular.?
Eleven editions of it have been printed, and ;thas i.jcc
translated into Latin verse, and bears the marks of being
one of the most favorite productions of the British
Muse." The sentiment of the wholo Poem is admirable,
and not unfrequently is it quoted by authors and
orators, showing that genius may have lived and died
in the bosom of "some Viilagc-Hampden," or of
"Some mute inglorious Milton?
Some Cromwell guiltless of his country's blood."
It iB even thus that wo may often see that genius is
obscured by the dark shadows of adversity, and he
who is condemned to work his way through 'poverty's
valo' to fames gilded dome, has a rugged and toilsome
path to tread. No marvel that they who havo honors,
may yet have more. Merit and truo genius aro not always
eared for, and may bo discovered beneath the
rough breast of tho honest yeoman, and unlettered artisan.
"For knowledge to their eyes her ample page,
Rich with tho spoils of timo did ne'er unroll,
Chill penury repressed their noblo rago,
And froze tho genial current of the soul."
As "tho richost ore contains dross," so also does it
sometimes happen that beneath the ruined mass may
the brightest jewel bo discovered.
Tho fate of such may bo read in the universal history
of experience. How many thousands havo only been
required when their country needed their services as
targots on tho field of battle, whither thoy havo gono,
and as a reward for their gallant devotion, either get
shot, dio gloriously, or become patriotic boggars for tho
roinnnnt. nfn miserable existonco,
"Whoso lot forbad; nor circumscribod alono
Their growing virtues, but their crimes confin'd;
Forbad to wade througn slaughter to a throne.
And shut tho gates of morcj on mankind."

Valdosta, Ga., Sept. 27, 1852.
Gentlemen:? I am now seventy-two years old,
and for the last twenty or thirty years, if the
Presidency had been offered spontaneously by
the people of the United States, I would not
have accepted it, because of my physical disqualij
fication to execute the duties of that office. At
| no period within that, could I, as an honest man,
I have done so. Not many years ago the State
j Rights party of Georgia were pleased to make
' that nomination, and my acquiescence was pla!
ced on the footing that the acceptance would
fulfil the object of the demand, viz: that otherwise,
that party, which had very strong claims
\ on me, as a native and citizen of Georgia, and
could not conscientiously vote for any other candidate
who had a fair prospect of success?were
at liberty to vote for me, while other persons had
none. It was the partiality of friendship which
suggested a similar movement on the part of
distinguished citizens of South Carolina on another
occasion, and which I discountenanced for
similar reasons.
Your decided nomination on the present occasion,
leaves me no alternative but to submit myself
cheerfully to the will of the States' Rights
Convention of Alabama, recently assembled at
Montgomery, in that State, but for the sole purpose
of organising that party. It, as well as the
I States' Rights Party of any jx>rtion of the United
States, may rightfully demand that which it
i has only asked, because, in my day and generation
I have labored to contribute a mite according
to my humble abilities to sustain its principles
: they are the only principles worth any- ,
thing to the Southern country, and as long as a
Party of two or three can be gathered together
for such purpose, the contribution of my name is
the least I could think of making?at least for
the purpose of merely organizing that Party?
r but for that purpose only.
The increasing pressure of disease forewarns
me that but a short breathing s|m-1I remains, and
I hasten to my conclusion. I wouhl vote for
Pierce and King. Mr. King is a most excellent
man, and I have not expected ever to Ije able to
vote for a Northern man so pure and disint rest'
ed as Mr. Pierce, ami you may never have such
another opportunity. But you may use mv
name as long as you please for organizing the
States Rights party, and maintaining aud consecrating
its principles.
It is nnnoraoie to nave sucn an associate in i
the nomination as Gen. Quitman : he deserves I
and would adorn any office. G. M. Troup.

B. Duval, Montgomery, Ala.
1 The General Board of Missions of the Pro;
testant Episcopal Church in the United States.?
This board is now holding its annual session in
Trinity Church, Boston, having assembled on
Monday. Bishops Kemper and Burgess participated
in the opening services, and Rev. Dr. Lee
delivered the sermon. About fifty clergymen
and 75 laymen are present. Rev. Mr. Van Pelt,
of Philadelphia, was elected secretary for the
ensuing year. The Rev. W. T. Webbe, of New.
York, read the annual report, from which it ap,
. that two bishops and eigty-five presbyters

of the contributions in the various Dioceses or
States, Connecticut appeared to yield the largest
average to the domestic treasury.
Well-Timed Speech by a Mechanic.?At
the time when Sir Richard Steele was preparing
his great room in York Buildings for public
orations, he happened to be pretty much behind
hand in his payments to the workmen --nd coming
one U.'iy amuiig iiiciii iu ncu wuat piuyics* tuev |
made, lie ordered the carpenter to get into the
rostrum and make a speech, that he might observe
how it could be heard. The fellow mounted, and
scratching his poll, told Sir Richard that he knew
not what to say for he was no orator. "0," cries
the knight, "no matter for that; speak anything
that comes uppermost."
"Whv,then Sir Richard," says the fellow, there
, we have been working for your honor these six
months and cannot get one penny of money. Pray
sir, when do you design to pay us?" Very well,
very well, said Sir Richard, "pray come down. I
have heard quite enough. I cannot but own you
speak very distinctly, though I don't much admire
your subject."
There are some DeoDle well enough disposed
to be grateful, but they cannot hit upon it without
a prompter; they must bo taught to be
thankful, and it is a fair step if we can but bring
them to the willing, and only offer at it.
