Q Mam, f the Monty eutd the Currency of th Country "lo the absence ofgotvl reasons for these intures, and as a pretext fn them, it is nl thai the country has overtraded, that k bank have overissued, sod I bat the bur ners of public lands have been very ex- tugwl- I am not aliuck by toe truin or uroorietv of these complaints. The rise of overtrading is very convenient, t not very intelligible. If it means any tig, it means that our dealings with other oniric have brought us in debt to those iiiunes. In that esse Ihe exchange turns amrt nnf- country, and is rectified by an iwuiion '-of specie or stocks in the first aslance and then by reducing the iuiorti p the exports Now the fact s,that at this lotnenU -tbe -exchanges are all in favor of In country -wthai is, you can buy a bill of hfbinge on a foreign country cheaper than paean aeod specie to that counwy. Ac- pdingly much specie bu come in none pet out; this, too, at a moment when the krhinge for the last crop is exhausted.and it of the new crop haa not yet come into ie market Sl when we are on the point of Iiiding lo Em ope the produce of thecoun F, to the amount of eighty or one hundred VUmkis of dollars. How, then, has the untry overtraded? Exchange with all the kid is in favor of flew York. How, en, ran New Turk be an ovei trader? Her wilunts have sold good to lha interior, ho ire willing to pay, and under ordinary prumsiances, able to pay; hut, by the mere nil of (he Government, as obvious as if Vriitliq.iake had swallowed them up.their fetors are disabled from making immedi pa)ment. It is not that the Atlantic 'rcliints have wold too many goods, but i the Government prevenis their receiv. g payment for any. Moreover, in tbe iminerrial cities, money can be bad at ex ugant rates, for capitalists add to the or iMty charges for the use of it a high in- ranee against tbe loss of it It is no) then much that mnney ia not to be rocureds ooubt & alarm increase the hazards oi "ding i.

A PROFOUND LEGISLATOR. O Mecklenburg! Mevklenourg ! We find the following in the last Kaleigh Register, as the Seecb delivered by Dr Stephen Fox, Senator from Mecklenburg, on the subject of taking up the rvviaed Stat utes. "Mr. Fox moved to lay the R- wilulion on the "table.

S the Doctor hmks us no Lawyer, Pteacher or Merchant, voted fur bun, that he has no busiiieM lo lie concerning hiiiwll about Law, Gospel or MercliuiHlise. His consiiitueuts ace farmers alone, and there fore, lie will vole aguusl every ihmg but farming (Jitere, wbuee conKttHieriis are the Doctois (Steam and Regulars) i Will he throw Phy sic tu tbe dogs as well as law and Religion? f But this profound Rnrkerito says, lie did not come here to legislate for ihe bar, be cause no one of bat class of citizens voted lor him: leaving the inference most clear, that if it had been otherwise, he would have voted for revising tbe public law of tbe country: becaute it would benefit the law yers who were his political friends.

The Governors of Ohio and Kentucky, Jtave recommended that the share of the public money that may come to these Slates shall be irrevocably appropriated la Uie purposes of public instruction. They both treat the deposite as in fact a grant to the Slates, never to be recalled. , inr House of Representatives in the Georgia Legislature, have taken the same view of lie Rutyvci t, fpr they have passed a Jb'il to appropriate 3-4 the amount! coining to then to the construction of a Stat Rail Road, without making any provision fr a repayment to the Tieasury of the U. S. The opposition, in our Suto tlieepysiie law is one of a thousand instances of the servile devotion of the spoils party to their Chiefs. Why should the politicians of North Carolina wish the amount coming into the Slate Treasury to be small f Why evince so much ill feeling and bad grace iu consenting to lake it f Why, above all, wish ut hoard it up as fortidlen treasure, while it coul 1 be no beneficially used for the People 1 There is no earthly motive for acting this unnatural and strange part, except it be that General Jakson, for some reason equally strange mid unaccoun table has taken il into his head.lo mar and frustrate the purposes of the depnsile law; and iliey, true to the slave's .maxim, must be " like men" with their master. This is one ol the strangest extremes to which parly ever thought of going, and for which North Carolina, dull aod aleepy as she is, will hold these representatives of other people's wills and interests, lo a severe ac count. ' CONFUSION AMONG THE PETTI COATS. At a meeting of ihe fawhionah'ea of on Thursday; 15th Inst., (the day being brauiiful) Mm. Lagharn was called lo the Chair and Mia Siininerkio was sppoinied Secretary. The lady President then addieaaed t'ne meeting io expla nation uf ihe cause for which they were asaum bled. It waa nu leas, said she, than to lake into consideration the alarming doctrines avowed by the President uf the United Stales io support uf his measure requiring payment to bs made for public land in gold aud ailver. In justification uf that aet, be says, that the people have got e nough land, that they are overtrading io thia bu siness, and he U determined to stop ths further extra vagrant purchase of this commodity by re quiting gold and ailver. Now, continued the fair orator. I du not ears so much for the set iu ' r T" self, for however absurd and tyrannical it may appear it does nol affect ns uf the female woi ld, but in ita eunseqaenoes it is most alarming Whu eaa help seeing that if the President shall makeffuud his claim of power u judge when the man haew ont land eniMia-h. ha will nruceed . lu claim tbe fight of judging, now . much Isos and and silk bow much ehally or satin may be -ouogh for m i aod if in the plenitude of his wis dom, be shall conclude that we srs overbuying in these articles, hs may issue a Tieaanry order requiring the duties for these articles Id be paid in gold and' ailver. Now, my notion Is, that General Jackson has no right to be peering into these things II our husbands and fathers have ao complaints to aaake on ibis score, I do out see why Mr. Jackson or Mr. Van Buren or any other of the magnates about Washington should presume to intermeddle in ihess matters." In loess View a ae was aojy anu etoquen.iy bitterly of the prioes that ibey hao; to pay " for every article of female dices. As matters now stand, unless a lady happen. l0 be Woqh forty negroes and a eoltunlantaiion, she ie scarcely able lu dress tot geatoej eumpaay. But let this arbitrary principle ae once extended to our gear Snd it will amount lo baaishaeat from the fash ionable world.
