i In an article in his paper of Friday last, the edi-! tor of the Gazette holds language which would lead us to infer that he is actually horror stricken at the amount of business which is being done, on the part of our citizens, with foreign countries, from an apprehension that ruin to the country must follow. He refers to a large importation of foreign goads at New York, only to assert that "The Loco Focos are contented to be hewers of 4 making peace; but that he is listening only to the both a rmblic and private nature, connected wood and drawers of water for England and the democratic patty is indissoKably united, a band rest of Europe." jot brothers.

Our attention has been attracted to the favorable estimation in which the government securities are held, as is manifested by the daily sales. Large amounts are purchased and a handsome premium, paid.

The representations of a portion of the whig press, that the government was running up a targe account upon the debit side, are unable to disturb the serenity of public couu Jence. A panic cannot lie started in the days of gold and silver with the ease of former times. A year an 1 a half suet, a paralysis of trade and the bankruptcy of the government would have been prophesied by these paper money financiers of other iys as sure to lot-tow the present vircumstances of the nation. An expensive war on band, and a reduction of duties could in their eyes have ended only in the discred it of the government, and the specie currency ol the in lependent treasury would have put the final stroke to trade So confident of the unerring truth of such predictions were the whig financiers, that all their reputation would have been staked, as of ten heretofore, on the issue. Nothing could have been further from the truth than such assertions.

Instead thereof, the government has sufficient income to meet every demand. Her revenues are increasing rapidly. The States are prosiierous, and are reducing promptly and cheerfully their public debts. The people press onward with ceaseless activityarsd buoyant expectations. Manufactures were never more prosperous.

The bounties of agriculture wilt overload every store hjuse and granary in the land. Every ship and boat is pre-s-d into service on our inland routes, and the flags of every nation may often be seen floating in our harbors. How unlike the predictions of the old standard prophets of the whig party! Y. Ere. Post.

The town can boast of a spacious fine streets, a noble square, barracks, a church and Wesleyan chapel, hospital, and government house, which last cost about 20, 000. He was reckoned the venerable patriarch of tne locality, living respected, and dying regretted, not only by his numerous children and grand-children, colonists, native chiefs and kings, but by the natives generally on the banks of the Gambia, far into the interior that extensive continent.

It is either one of those Whig prophecies so often repeated after the passage of the late Tariff act, and so often falsified or it is one made upon a knowledge (derived from the ire workers in different parts of the country s.o manage Whig banking concerns) of the plans already on foot, to bring about such a result as as then itnessed. We think we are doing no injustice to the editor or his party, hen say this may be the case. What has been, may be again.

A great political contest is coming on. The country is now prosperous and that party cannot hope to succeed, in a time of prosperity. Do they expect to produce uch a result as we then witnessed, in order to obtain power? The increase of bank accoramoda to which we have before referred the increasing amount of nominal currency in different parts of the country the rumored applications to be made in different quarters for bank charters all point to something of this kind. It therefore becomes all Democrats all who prefer the pros perity of the country to bankruptcy and watch well the signs of the times.
