There exista a very great difference of opinion in the minds of those attached to the two great politi- cal parties, in relation to the operation of the sub- treasury law, with its most restrictive specie provi- sions. There are many members of the whig party in favor of this financtal measure of the goverument, on account of the influence it exerts in protecting all our manufacturing interests, in regulating and in increasing the value of the currency of the counuy % e he banking sya- | atlarge. It isa settled fact, that the banking sy | and persoas who do not wish to set themselves up tems of any number of States cannot isnprove the eirculating medium of the whole couatry. A dozen States may have banking systems as perfect as pos- | sible to create, and the local currency of these | States may be sound, but the corrupt banking 6: tems of the other States of the Union must havi tendency to depreciate the currency of the other | States, and reduce the quality and value of the whole. The sub-treasury would affect the currency of | every State and Territory in the Union—it would equalize the value, and make it uniform from one extremity to the other; and this alone 1s sufficient to recommend the measure to the favor of every one interested in preserving a sound, safe and simple currency. Opposition te this system will continue to be made by the ultra organs of the whig party, and they cannot well do otherwise than keep up their feeble attacks upon a measure so intimately connected with pure democratic principles. Inde. pendent of the party character the sub-treasury evi- dently possesses, we cannot but admit that it | contains features eminently calculated to have ulti- mately a very favorable influence upon the prosperi- ty of the country. Weare bound by no party ties; we have no sympathy with any of the political sects | of the day; it matters very little to us, which party any important and necessary measure, regulating any of our great interests, springs from; it is our daty and our intention to lend our influence and our Support to carry out those things that may appear best calculated to advance our prosperity and in- Grease the value and stability of our institutious. We consider the sub-treasury a measure admira- bly calculated to place this country in a prouder po- sition in the rank of nations than it has ever yet en- Joyed, as it wil! make us more independent of other countries—will prevent those tremendous expan- sions and contractions in our commercial affairs which have so frequently prostrated every interest, and place us {upon a par with the most prosperous commercial nation in existence. Our future pro- gress will not, perhaps, be so rapid as it has been, but it will be more permanent—it will be upon a bet- ter basis, and, therefore, more solid. Such a con- summation is devoutly to be wished; and whatever will bring it about, should receive the countenance of all nght minded men. The effect of the sub-treasury upon the banks will depend somewhat upon the course pur- sued by those institutions. If they move very cautiously, contract their operations, and Prepare themselves for any emergency that may arise, they may be able to pass through the crisis safely ; but if they do not—if they attempt to expand—their fate is sealed: the sub-treasury will sweep them out of existence by the score. Thesub- treasury will tend more to preserve the present state of things, rather than produce any very great change. It will not, as many anticipate, do away with banks entirely, as their existence is, toa certain extent, mecessary to carry on commerce. The establishment of the sub-treasury is at this moment of the greatest importance. Our foreign affairs are in a very unsettled state, and if war with Great Britain should grow out of the existing diffi- | culties in relation to the Oregon question, or | with Mexzico,fon account of annexation, a very wmail part of the surplus in the possession of the banks would be available. It therefore becomes necessary, while we are at peace with the world, to Preserve the sinews of war, and place them under | the immediate supervision of the government. Av | & war measure, it is at this time called for; as a peace measure, it is equally important, as it will pro- tect our manufacturing industry, harmonize all the interests of the country, and increase our prosperity in all things. All we wish: is, that it may be, when once more in operation, continued long enough to give ita fairtrial. There is a disposition, in both political parties, to repeal its great measures, if they do not, from the start, meet all the expectations formed, before they have had time to get fairly into operation. Maeneric Tettararis.—The prospect of realiz- | ing some important benefits from the wondertul | invention of Professor Morse, in a short time, is | very good indeed. It is expected that by the first day of May next, the line between Baltimore and Philadelphia will be finished, and likewise the line between Boston and New York. When these two lines shall be completed, the United States govern- ment will receive the spirit of the foreign news, brought by each steamer to Boston, before the ves- sel will touch the dock. The telegraph line between Baltimore and Phila- delphia, is the best, most substantial, and when com- pleted, the best regulated affair of the kind, proba- bly in the country. The wire and other appurte- mances, are of the most substantial and durable kind, and as the line is laid along the route of the railroad, it will possess advantages of importance. In the event of the wire being broken, of any other accident happening, the agent will jump on a loco- motive gnd repair the damage in a very ehort time We hope the legislatures of the several States through which telegraphs may be laid, will pass laws of the most stringent nature for their protec- tion—laws that will make it a crime punishable in the State prison, for wilfully molesting, or injuring this splendid invention of the age. Lipst.—The law of libel has recently undergone a change in the State of Massachusetts, which we hope will be followed by other States. The new law in that Staie makes no distinction between written and verbal slander, and allows the truth of the matter charged to be a sufficient jus- tification. In the law of libel, as it has | always existed in the State of New York, has been a fruitful source of vexation and litigation | to all our citizens, and particularly to the editors of newspapers, who have been harrassed by prosecu- tions under it. If an editor publish a statement, which by a forced construction, can be tortured into | slander, no matter what may be his motives, he is immediately held to;bail, and on the trial, is not even allowed to prove the truth of his assertions. This | is peculiarly unjust, and savors too strengly of the | English law on this subj hi “ er the truth, the ret -" gs “alo is entitled to much credit for altering the old law, and we hope the time is not distant when the Empire r! e—_—_— Rav.

We shall make it a point to have eech painting critically examined, anq give the perwlt im the eolumus of the Heredd. tia system of this State,” has been reported to the | Legislature of this State by Mr. Hall, of the Com- | mittee on the Militia and Public Defence. | sailed on the 19th ultimo she is making a very long | ‘There are many important changes made in the prevent odicus militia system, by this bill. Instead of the parade being made, as at present, to occupy ' the time of three whole days, during which all bu- siness must be left, it 18 proposed to reduce the parades to two, and both of these to be held the same day—one at 9 o’clock, and the other at 2—sometime between the Ist and 16th of Sep- | tember. The present odious fining system connected with the militia, has, more than any thing else, brought the whole system into disrepute. It has become, in | fact, a species of robbery, by which a few lazy offi- cers are enabled to live without labor, upon the fines taken from the pockets of honest mechanics as laughing-stocke for boys and loafers. This bill provides a remedy for this. Any person can commute for non-appearance on parade by making paymentsat the following rates, to an asses- sor of the town in which he shall reside :—Persons under 21 years of age to pay 25 cents; persons over 21, “having a family for which they provide, and who are not assessed on the last assessment roll of the town,” to pay the same sum. All other persons over 21 years of age, may commute for non-appear- ance by paying 75 cents. The bill, however, pro- vides that all who have not commuted shall be fined for non-appearance, as at preseat; and the money Teceived from fines and commutations is to be dis- | tributed among the uniformed and ununiformed mi- litary companies. x The non-commissioned officers of the ununiformed militia are to be exempt from jury duty and poll tax on the highways; and commissioned officers of infantry, non-commissioned officers, privates and musicians, of every uniformed corps, are to be ex- empt, while they continue todo duty, from poll tax on highways, and serving on juries. They are also to be exempt, excepting in case of insurrection, in- vasion or war, from further militia service, after se- ven years. These, we believe, are the only peculiarities of | Sn the 16th inst. Ourfiles by her are incomplete ie the bill. It certainly makes some much-needed al- terations in the present odious system, and for that reason we should be glad to see it passed, although we doubt not that future wisdom and experience can make alterations for the better in it. New Use vor tae Dacuerrgotyrr.—We un- derstand that the French people have recently ap- Plied the wonderful invention of M. Daguerre to a purpose which we think will be attended with a great many good effeets, and tend, in a great de- gree, to the prevention of crime, The authorities take a daguerreian portrait of every known thief and pickpocket in Paris, and send duplicates to the po- lice authorities ef all the other departments of the kingdom. In this way, those characters are known to the police everywhere, and can be watched wherever they may be. This admirab le plan is worthy of being followed by other countries; and if introduced into this country, would be attended with the same good re- sults as follow from it in France. Our police offices in the principal Atlantic cities, might have a da. Guerreotype apparatus, and a performer attached to each, so that every pickpocket, burglar, forger, and other villain, could be identified by the officers in each city, immediately after receiving hisname. It might be introduced into our State prisons, with the same good effects; and the portrait of every criminal that is placed there taken in the same way, and a duplicate placed in the pelice offices of the large cities. We have no doubt that, if this plan were intro- duced in this fcountry, the effect would soon be seen in the diminution of crime. It would deprive those villains of a great portion of that sel{-assur, ance which is necessary for transacting their villa- nies successfully ; for they would be conscious that their portraits, as true te the original as natures hand can make them, are in the possession of the officers of justice, and detection would immediately | ftom Corpus Conant sStetes_ soldiers, who =p foliow their villany. The expense would be comparatively light, as re- garde the police offices, and in. the State prisons it | would be nothing, for the convicts could be taught to perform, in the same way they are taught any other business. InteRgstinc From Haytt.—We learn from Capt. True, of the Majestic, arrived yesterday morning, from St. Domingo, that the political affairs of that Teland remain much in the same state as in the last two or three months, with the exception of a strong jealousy which is beginning to show itself among the blacks towards the whites. The navy of the Dominicans is in a most misera- ble state—their vessels are manned with men preseed on board against their will, without clothes, half-fed and half-paid, equal to about $3 per month | in paper currency. They have no order on board, nor discipline, not even a code of laws for their | navy. Captai: Farmham, while in command ot the ship Teboro, formerly the bark Alert, of Boston, was publicly attacked in the street a | few days since by a black, and his friends, with whom he had had some difficulty on board, and it was supposed by foreigners generally, that had he used any weapons in defence, he would have been instantly massacred. . Captain F. immediately call- ed on the Governor, who has promised him full and satisfactory address, but it 1s generally thought that they dare not push the affair, for fear of creat- ing a disturbance with the blacks. The brig Othello, with a circus company on beard, called here, and asked permission to perform, but was refused in consequence of the state of affairs.

WITH MEXICO, The Peremptory Demand of Mr. Slidell to be Received as Minister, The American Fleet off Vera Oruz, MANIFESTO OF SANTA ANNA. ASPECT OF THE MONARCHICAL QUESTION. ie. die. dis We are happy to intorm the public that four of the five mails due from New Orleans, reached this city yesterday afternoon. They contained some highly important intelligence from Mexico. The advices from Vera Cruz are to the 15th ult. Our relations with Mexico appear to be rapidly connolter approaching a crisis. The Hon. Mr. Slidell had | Sonnplering made a peremptory demand upon the Mexican go- vernment to either be received at once as the Ame- to him. This movement had created considerable excite- ment in Mexico. “ It was uncertain what the Mexicun government would do. It was reported, however, that Mr. Sli- dell would be received as an Envoy to arrange the Texas matter, but in no other capacity, The advices are so confused that it 1s difficult to form any correct opinion of the real state of our re- lations with Mexico. We, therefore, give the intel- ligence asit appears in the various New Orleans pa- pers—each its own story. But, apart from the news relative to the move- ments of our Minister, the intelligence from the city ot Mexico is important. (Wit appears from the accounts, that the effort to es- tablish a monareby in that country, daily finds more favor.
