The doings in Congress have been of a very important char acter, and the public mind has been worked up to fever heat. ‘The passoge of the tariff bill, the independent treasury bill, and the warehousing bill, since last Mon- day, has been sufficient to operate in that way upon the minds of all interested in those important measures. | What effect their operation will have upon the cummer- The people are ali m an independent condi- | cial affairs of the country generally, remains to be seen tion. There are none of those designated poor people—paupers—although perhaps one half of the population came into the Siate without a pen- ny more than enough to purchase a forty or eighty acre lot of land from the government. A forty acre lot of government land costs only fifty ing bronght 4 dollars. Thus, for a small pittance, is a home es- oe | tablished at once. Others came in, perhaps, with- out a penny, and by laboring hard have secured to themselves comfortable homesteads. Tie system | of disposing of the lands ofthe government has 01 done much for the wealth of the new couutries,und the prosperity and happin. ss of the people. Here @ man enters upon his own domain, tree from mortgage: or lien—he has everything to stimulate him to persevere in the acquisition of wealth for ins own enjoyment in old age, and for the enjoy- ment of his children after him. Itis very unlike the system of the Holland Land Company, in the western part of your State. Their land is to those who will improve the farms, and ieocenges taken for a term of years for the | payment. man in the first place agrees to pay three times as much for the land as it is actually | worth, pays nothing down, but gives a mortgage drawing interest for the payment, at some stipu lated time thereafter. In the mean time, the pur- chaser makes improvements upon the property, | | to the amount of eight or ten dollars to the acre, is not a treeholder; und after years of toil, when | old is creeping upon him, he is obliged to abandon his premises pennyless, and seek {an asylum elsewhere. ‘The whole, or nearly » the whole of the Lake portion of Ohio, was ; bought up in like manner, of a Connecticut | company, who got possession of the property at an early vay. The people here are, as a general thing, {enterprising industrious, and persevering — As they receive money every year for their products, they invest it in farm- ing stock and improvements. Throughout the State will now be seen the log houses, thrown by, and their places filled by handsome farm houses which will vie with those of older countries. I have been in the State some ten years, know its situation, poreraphically, morally and fi- nancially and [assert without fear of contradic- tion, that it is destined to be one of the most wealthy States of this Union. There is no better | agricultural country in the world; besides, the mineral wealth now just being developed upon the shores of our Lake Superior, will, ere long, even astonish our own people. Our mines, for wealth, are fac superior to any thing ever be- fore discovered upon the American coutinent.— The credit of our State has been cried down by stock jobbers and speculators, for objects best known to themselves, and I am sorry to say they have one auxiliary here in a public press, whose | conductor very injudiciously considers it necessa- | ry to pursue such a course to sustain the po'iucal cause he espouses. Michigan is in debt, it is true, bat mark my word, every ceet of her indebted- ness will be paid. Our legislature passed a bill for the sale of the Central Railroad, toa company at a price above what it cost, notwithstanding a great portion of it was built by warrants drawn payable in wild lands only. This, if consurnmated, will be a good thing for us, as it pays at once two millions ef dollars of our indebtedness ; but if not sold, it will make no difference inthe end. The interest, ; Commencing with the present year, will be paid promptly. Three years hence, no man or set j of men can have it to say that Michigan has not dealt honorably with all mankind. | In - legislative bodies and conventions, wherever nau, there is Lut the one general expression given, or wish manilested, in relation to our in- debtedness, which is, that every farthing shall be paid.

One also deposes that he voted for W. P. Fessenden, for whom no vote was returned This will form, we believe, the first instance in which a seat of a United States Senator has been contested. The Legislature of Maine has passed a bill for the re- moval of the seat of government of that State, from Au- gusta to Portland, on the Istof December next, provided the city of Portland shall furnish the State with public buildings more suitable than the present State House.

The stock market is daily improving in activity, and | asroon as the warm weather is past, and operators be- |" come more plenty, there will be an increased activity in ‘all departments of business. The banks having furnish- ed their quarterly reports for August, and feeling, no doubt, very much relieved, we may soon expect an abundance of money, and a falling off in the rate of inte- rest. Itis generally understood that as soon as these quarterly returns are made, money will be easy, and calculations are regularly made accordingly. Stock speculators particularly keep an eye on this movement, and make their contracts so as to receive all the benefit of this change in the course of the banks. We annex a comparative table of quotations for the principal stocks in this market, in which speculation is carried to any extent, for each day of the past week, and at the close of the week previons. It will be perceived that there has been an upward movement in some of the fancy railroad stocks, particularly in Long Island and Harlem. Prices generally have been very firm, and the ery healthy condition. STOORS in THE New k ry Thy Fr'y 8 ut tuand,..

They will, at least, produce a very | great revolution in some things, but it ie our impression | that, together, they will eventually produce an improve- ment in the fmancisl and commercial policy of the coun- try. Weare opposed to all changes in laws affecting, in | any way, trade and commerce; but ifour legislators will | keep tinkering our commercial systems, it is well that | the various measures adopted should offset and neutral” ize each other as much as possible. The features of the independent treasury bill, es it passed the Senate, are as yet unknown, as the amend. meats made to the bill, as it came from the lower bourse, have not been officially announced, aud have not been concurred in by the lower house. Ii that bill goes into operation, upon a proper basis, it wili have a wonderful influence upon the workings of the ad valorem tariff. It will annul the revenue principles of that act, and tend to make it more protective than its framers anticipated. If the independent treasury bill is of a very restrictive character, it will increase the value of the currency, and tend more to check importations than the protective fee- tures of the tariff act of 1842 ever did. Whateverchecks the inflation or depreciation of the currency, shuts out foreign fabrics from our markets more effectually than any duty, short of a prohibiting one, sould; and our manufacturers will be better protected by the independ- ent treasury bill than they ever were by a high tariff. The manufacturers of Europe are deeply interested in preserving in this country an inflated currency. We find their agents here strongly advocating the re-estab- . lishment of another government bank. ‘ihe old United Btates Bank did more for the foreign manufacturers than it ever did for any domestic interest, and its downfail was an unfortunate thing to them. For the truth of this we have only te refer to the immense importations from 1834 up to 1837, when the currency of this conntry was com- posed of nothing but paper, and when the banka were running riot in all the speculations of the day. We had ® protective tariff thea—the average duty on the aggre* gate importations, under the compromise act, up to 1887, ranging above twenty-eight per cent; notwithstanding which the importations were immense, reaching in one year the enormous amount of one hundred and ninety millions of dollars. Did the high tariff, at that time, check importations in the slightest degree, or were our manufacturers benefitted in any way by the protective features of the compromise act, in the first few years of its operation? Not at all. The currency had become so much depreciated by the immense issues of the thousands of banks in every section of the country—prices forevery thing became so much inflated, that the manufacturers ef Europe were 40 little affected by the duty upen their fabrics, that they poured their goods into our markets in immense quantities, forced their sple, turned the paper money received in payment into specie, and carried it home. If the duties at that time had been double what they were, there would have been very little difference in the importation. Goods manufactured under a specie currency, can afford to pay a very heavy duty, to be ad mitted for sale into markets where prices are regulate} by an inflated paper currency—and the manufacturers of Europe have enjoyed this position long enough; it is time we should pay more attention to the volume and value of our currency, if we wish to preserve the present prosperity of our domestic interests. Most of the talk about a high ora low tariff is sheer nonsense. Political jogues, for the purpose of ma- nufacturing political cepital, are continually harping ‘upon the tariff, some in favor of high duties, and some in favor oflow duties, and the country is continually agi- d by the two factions, for party. and, in many in- ‘8, for personal aggrandizement. The masses are made to believe that every thing depends upon a proper construction of the tariff, and that the price of their bread and butter depends entirely upon a certain rate of duty, when, in fact, it has very little to do with it. If the manufacturing interest of this country would de vote its attention to the establishment of a proper regula- ted currency—it the political influence it possesses, was exerted to put down every thing tending to increase the volume of the circulating medium, there would be very little necessity for the slightest discrimination for proteo- tion in the formation of our tariff laws. The demand for protection to our manufacturers comes from the whig party; it is yet and hes ever been a part of their political creed,at the same time they are making ef- forts to inflate the currency. There is a strange imcon- sistency in these movements, which never can be recon- ciled. The effect of the first is to shut out from our mar- kets foreign fabrics, which would come into competition with our own, while the effect of the last is toopena wider door for their admission than the first shuts against them. In this way, one offsets the other, and they never make any progress in the accomplishment of the object in view. On the other hand, we find the opposite party equally inconsistent in its political creed. According to the democratic doctrine, a low tariff will provide a great. er revenue than a high one, and a reduction is therefore demanded for the purpose of increasing the importations and increasing the revenue from customs, at the same time the party requires a currency established upone pure specie basis. Here is an inconsistency as glaring &s that exhibited by the other party, and es difficult of reconciliation, The party advocating a low tariff should advocate an inflated paper currency, if a large re- venue is the object, or even for the collection of sufficient revenue to meet the current expenditures of the govera- ment; and the perty in favor of protection should, in the first place, as being of the first importance, advocatea | specie currency, and then get a tariffashigh as possible; the high tariff, howe’ r, is @ matter of secondary eon- | sideration. A specie currency and a high tariff would of the choicest | Perfumery, Den'rifices, Cosmetics, Shaving Creams, T ilet from th Dressing give usa very limited revenue. Ifthe manufacturing interests wish to meke the new tariff as highly protective as that of 1842, all they have to do isto wind up about two-thirds of the banks in the country, and go in for the must restricted independent treasury Dill they can possibly invent, and will guaranty them as much protection as they can reasons bly desire. Every reduction in the tariff should be met by a corresponding reduction in the volume of the curren. cy, and the equilibrium will be permanently preserved.
