Treasury Bank, though such a scheme is rnusl unjustly imputed to them, we deem it unnecessary to multiply arguments a g iost it. 'I'll e cheapness of our system of Govern ment, compared with the monarchical sys terns of the old world, has been one of i t chief recommendations to the favor of man hind. This is one of its characteristics, which every .Republican will strive to maintain. Injudicious legislation, and the spirit oi speculation in merchandise and public lauds, had, within a few of the last years, brought into the Treasury a redun dancy of revenue. As a natural conse quence, this influx lias been followed by loose and extravagant appropriations In Congress, and an increased expenditure. It is an inevitable law of our system ol Government, and perhaps of every other, that if it collects much, it must expend much. It could not be safely tolerated, il it were practicable, that the Government should collect hundreds of millions from the 'people, to be retained by il in the shape of money or property. It must always expend w hat il collects. The only fl'. c- tive remedy, therefore, for an extravagant expenditure, is to reduce the supply. For the accomplishment of this great object, the country must look to those who strive 10 reduce the receipts of the Government t its absolute wants; to prevent extravagance, by withholding the means; to preserve the purity of the public agents, by keeping them out of temptation; to enforce econo my, by making il impossible for the Go vernment not lo be economical. It is in vain to oppose little appropria tions of money, when there are millions of surplus in the Treasury. If there be ;i surplus it will be expended, and to be ex pended it must be appropriated. Kee ihe money out of the Treasury, and leave it in the pockets of the people, its rightful owners; multitudes of projects for expend ing it would then never be thought of, and others v uld never be pressed. While, therefore, we deem it the duty of every Republican to oppose unnecessary appropriations and expenditures, we look to a proper regulation of duties and taxes, to b i levied ami collected from the people, as the only fiVclive remedy and preven tive of public extravagance. Duties on imported merchandise, though paid in the first instance by the merchants, come final ly out of the pockets of the people, as much as if they were a direct tax laid on lands and personal property. We hold that it is the duty of v'ongress to ascertain, as nearly as practicable, what an economi cal administration of the Government ought to cost; to graduate the duties of taxes, in such tn aimer as not lo produce a surplus b.-yond that sum, and lo vary them in con formity with that principle, as the chaug 1 n circumstances f iJn country may re q lire. We hold, thai when Congresses tahlishe, or sulV rs lo exist, a system of revenue which collects from the people more money than the public service, eco no nic.illy m in aged, necessarily req ores, they pervert the Government from its true object, violate their duly to their constitu ents, and commit upon them the same wrong which mouarchs perpetrate upon their ? objects, when they seize. 00 their money or goods to support unnecessary wars, or minister to their pleasures, their tastes, or their passions. At present,, we have no surplus in the Treasuiy, and the receipts of the Govern ment are scarcely eqo.il to its necessary expenditures. It is our earnest desire and determination, as far as our opinions and appropriate acts can avail, to rot ff the possibility of any surplus hereafter; not by extending the expenditures, but by lessen ing the receipts. And whenever the ex penditures can be lessened, also, w ithout a palpable injury to the public service, we are in favor of diminishing them, and the receipts in an qial degree; making our Government as cheap lo the people as pos sible, and as powerless for mischief as it shall be cheap in its administration. We rejoice to see that many of the re cent great causes of taxation are fast dis appearing. The public debt is now fully paid, and the people are entirely relieved from that burden. The extinguishment of the Indian titles lo lands within the States and Territories; the removal of the Indians to the west of the Mississippi; and the In dian wars, in which the United States have been recently engaged, have necessarily produced a great expenditure of the public treasure. These will, no doubt, shortly be brought to a close; and this heavy drain upon the Treasury of the United States, of course, cease and many other causes of expenditures are rapidly terminating. (To continued ) i Kidnapper. Th Columbus (Geo.) Democrat stales that a ir veiler, since as certained lo be a Mr. Tate, arrived at a hotel in that city recently, wui, a negro boy, for whom he requested a bed might be made in his room. This was, of course complied with, and the traveller. retired to rest. In the morning they departed and in a few days afterwards a sheriff ap. rived in pursuit of a man who had stolen a negro girl from Merriwether, Geo. The description of ihe traveller corresponded whh ihm uf the kidnapperthe sheriff fo!- lowf d in pursuit, ami in a few days called at Columbus on his return with Mr. Tale a prisoner, and the boy Ned, transferred to a very iiood locking mulatto girl of four ery g teen.

Among the recent decisions of the Supreme Court of this State, as published in the Raleigh Register, we notice the fol lowing : Also, in State v. Hathaway, from Edge combe, directing the Court below to pro ceed to judgment. 07 We invite attention lo the Address of the Democratic Republican members of the late Gongiess. 'The principles for which that party have uniformly contend ed are clearly set forth in this masterly document and the filse issue whiih t! e Federal Whigs are endeavoring to make up, between a Treasury Rank and a Na tional Rank, fully and fairly refuted the Address truly remarks that, "the leading question which now divides the two par ties of the country is, the re-establishment of a Rank of the United States." This is the true issue : Rank or No Rank. On the subject of Abolition also, the Address is as full and explicit, as the most Slates Right patriot could wish. We commend the w hole document 10 the attentive and dispassionate consideration of every indi vidual who has the welfare of his country and the permanency of our Republican in stitutions at heart. OTThe Secretary of the Treasury has given official notice lliat the money be queathed by the late James Smithson Esq. of London, for founding an institute in the cily of Washington, amounting to about a half million of dollars, will it is expected, he received during the present month. The act of Congress passed July 7, 1838, directs the Secretary to invest the same in "slocks of States, bearing an interest at a rate of not less than five per cent, per an num. "and he announces that he is now pre pared to receive proposals from persons who have storks of this description for sale. Hal. Star. OTThe first of the three bonds of the U. S. Rank to the Government, for two millions each, due in 1839, has been pur chased by the Rank itself, at par. The third due in 1841, has also been bargained for. ib. 07Ii is stated that the United States Rank has engaged to make a loan of five millions of dollars to the Government of Texas for 20 years, with an understand- ing thai the notes of that Bank shall be current in Texas, and that they are to make consignments of cotton to the credit of the bank in Liverpool. ib. 07The Ranks of Charleston and the Commercial Bank of Columbia have de termined to resume specie pa) ments on ihe I si ol September. ib.

It 1 with feel nigs ol genuine sorrow, lhal we are called on to record the melancholy death of Air. John S. Raboteao, of Franklin county, but recently and for the greater portion ol his life an estimable iiuz-ii of this place. He was returning Irom Louisburg home, a lew days since, in a Sulk, diiung a mule, when it is supposed the animal became li ighieued, and, starting to run within a quarter of a mile of his house, threw him out and injured him so badly, that incapa ble of elfin, he lay for in ruy hours expos ed to the scorching rays of a mid-da) Sun. We say supposed, because he was lonud as described, though he scarcely spoke, after being discovered. 1 1 is remains were brought lo this Cily for interment, and were followed lo the tomb by a large concourse of sympathising fiiends. Mr. R. was about 72 years of age, but he was so regular and temperate a man in all things, as to be free, in an unusual de gree, from the infirmities incident to age. Few persons have discharged in a more exemplary manner all the duties of life. Though retiring and iiuobtt usive, his vir tue was of the severest kind. An iulK'xi hie integrity, a stern moral principle, an uucompri. liming adherence to truth and right, wire its prominent characteristics. Resolute in pursuing his ow n straight-forward course, he turned aside to inierlere with no man's tifi'tirs, but following the ad vice of the Apostle "he studied lo be q-iiet, and to do his own business." Hal. ic (CfThe Drought is becoming very ex tensive and alarming. Similar complaints reach us from New England, South Eas tern New Yo:k, New Jersey, and Alary land, win re. how ever, there has been a re cent shower, Virginia and North Carolina. A person who passed through a part of New Jersey last Saturday, informs us that the grass was completely parched op, and that to make the matlerjw orse, an immense number of grass-hoppers, being deprived of their accustomed food, had attacked the buckwheat and oats, the crops of which would be diminished at least one half, by this unexpected visitation. This plague of the grass hoppers, however, appears not to extend over a very large tract of the coun try. The drought is a far more serious evil. A good soaking rain at (his time, would be worth millions of dollars to ihe country. Indeed without it, and unless it comes soon too. the Fall crops w ill be very light, and in many places next to nothing. N. Y. Jour. Com. The Thirteenth of August. This day will be a memorable one in the financial history of the United States, as the period of the resumption of specie payments by the Banks. We understand the Banks at Richmond have resolved to commence pay ing sperie Uuday, and that their branches here will follow their example. Norfolk Herald. The Explqring Squadron. Incredible as it may seem, we can now vouch for the fact, lhal the Exploring Squadron is ready for sea, and will depart with the first fair wind -to day, if it should offer. The offi cers are all on board, and in fine spirits, elate with anticipations of the peaceful tri umph, not less worthy of the wreath, of fame than those of "grim visaged war' which await the successful results of scien tific research, achieved with greater peril and hardship; and admitting the truth of the old adage, that a "bad beginning will have a good ending," they have a glorious prospect of success -to their expedition. -ib. The Weather. The highest d egrees of heal ever known in our climate, continue, as they have done with ft"' and slightj abatements, since the 1st of July. The drought too, threatens the destruction ol the Corn crops and kitchen gardens; but we have a right to hope from the immense mass of clouds which hung over us yes terday afternoon and evening, thai copious rains are near at hand, and thai although they have not reached us, many thousand acres of laud planted in corn, have brew refreshed by them. Many suppose, that the drought of this summer is beyond pre cedent; but it is not yet r qual lo lhal ol 1830. ib. (Xp'We learn from ihe Kdonlon Gazelle, lhal while the Whigs of Bertie were rejoi cing over the victory obtained at their lale election, a man named Jacob Rlount, was so badly wounded by the premature dis charge of a cannon, as to render death al most inevitable. Roth aims were ampu tated below the elbow, and his fate and one leg were considerably injured. The accident was occasioned by ihe man at the touch hole raising his thumb, while Rloi.nl was ramming the cartridge. He is a man of family, having a wile ami five children, lie was alive on .Monday. ib. New York, August II. The uncurrent money business is becoming le?s profitable for the brokers, and more profitable for the IVople at large. New England, New Jer sey, and Pennsylvania bills are now very near par, and all Western and Southern money is improving. The domestic ex changes are as follows : Roston Philadelphia, i to Baltimore, Richmond, 1 to U Charleston, 2) Cincinnati, 21 to 3 Augusta, Geo. 4 to 5 Savannah, 4h to 5 .Mobile, 10 to 1 1 New Orleans, 5 Nashville, 10 to 12 Natchez, 14 to 15 Louisville, 2h to 3 St. Louis, G to 8 Detroit, 4 to 5 Which is a gradual improvement, particu larly upon Louisville, Cincinnati, and Richmond. The banks about to resume in the West and South are drawing hard upon our city lor specie, but we have enough for them, and a very ready disposition to accommo date them for such a purpose. From Florida A letter dated Tampa Ray, July 15, says: ' Gen. Taylor is ex pected to be back from Okefenoke in from four to ten days. The enemy , so far as w e ran learn, is more hostile than ever, though we have not yet been troubled on this side of the Territory. We have heard that they are determined to hold out to the last. They kill all messengers sent out by the whites, and all who speak of giving up. Some of the most popular Indians have been killed this summer by their own peo ple." The St. Augustine IleraM, of July 21, says: We understand that il is estimated that there are about 400 Indian waniors in the strong holds of the Oak-fcnoke Swamp, headed by Coacochee. OC?
