The Democratic State of Virginia is in a
similar position of inconsistency, for, while
she most unwisely refused, and still refuses,
to take her share of the distribution in 18 H,
she still hdds on to the sum she got from
tbe Distribution of the surplus revenue under
Gen. Jackson's administration, and v hich she
invested in the Exchange Bank. Bnt, in

it is especially the policy of the South to insist

the man who has been so blessed as never to

to discourse of its annoyance, so the man
who has never been taxed is not the one to

worthy of heed, than the loose generalities

Dying Daily. The English j papers
have accounts from Norway,-which (give a
painful picture of the suffering of the inhabi.
ants of Lapland and Finmark, bordering on
the North Cape of Norway. Owing to a
failure of the crops, the inhabitants re in a
Btate of stajvation. . - j
. Hundreds are dyine daily, and the liv
ing aro compelled to subsist as they best can,
on the bark of trees, ground and cooked with
oats. In order to alleviate these sufferings
charitable committees have been organized
on the opposite coasts of the Gulf of Bothnia
to collect contributions in kind, such al corn,
flour, vegetables and spirits, which will be
conveyed to them across the ice in sledges.
As an addition to the suffering of these poor
creatures, the cold is of a severity rarely ex
perienced even in those ice-bound countries."
