Hwico the importance of ■ parsing through the transition front war [to peace, ui such a manner as to be prepared for tho tide of prosperity which awaits [ns as a people. Oar •manufacturers,! especially, must start into new life and vigor with jtho tcr mination of tbo-war. Tho demand, for cotton goods, in particular, will bo;un precedented.

Whop and bowi shall we return to a sound currency]?, i 4 That will depend entirely upon tbo 'wisdom and energy of- .our statsmon and public servants. It is , for,'them alone to say hpw soon and in whaL way, ' The matter is in their: han3sr from-at least supposed necessity they* violated the laws of value, by ranking that to bo currency and legal tender whiejf had no value only- the promise of it.j£,They introduced Credit into the currency, and it is- by their action a lone that tho false clement can bo el iminated, and the true standard can bo restored. Wfhen the war has ceas ed, wjar expenditures will cease; but taxation will doubtless bo continued, and the revenue made to:, exceed dis bursements, and tho Government will have the, ability) to take in tho'green* backs and othir currency. Besides .this, is soon, as !thc"- credit of tho Gov ernment is sociirod, there will boa largo we should say, perhaps, im mense demand for public slocks, apd the fl eating. natibnal indebtedness can thus pe rapidly funded. Byjthose moahs the volume of the currency can be j reduced, provided the arnwr stons aroSlakfin- anA hj>nlr*.Jaro gotiiflwfeg mhd ought to have the disposition, to com pel those bank's to resume specie pay month, pud, if that bo dpne, they must greatly' contract their circulation.— Thus, by a gradual process we shall re turn tp the true ht ar,dardwi th ou u any violent convulsion. There is one unprecedented fact con nected with the war in which worn engaged; it is that individual indebU edness is being discharged to a won derfullexteht, so that when tho con test is| ended the people will bo freer from pecuniary obligations - than over This is a remarkable phenom enon, pnd quite in contrast with,tho condition of. bur'country at the close of the revolutionary war, but, the course pursued by this government has brought it about. ■ Private has been.oschangod jfor public indebted ness. ■ The natiqu is involved lo an enormous amount. Every State, eve ry county, and every town has accu mulated; debt to anmxloht before un heard of. , i '. This fact must gieatly influence the future. Taxation will bo heavy, con- and pressing. It will boar |with grfiat force dh the masses.of the people.! Their consumption of Wealth', and, of Course, their trade, must bo pe3tric|cd. Whatj a man pays, in tax es bo cannot expend for hlolbce. Ev cry expenditure must bo curtailed to facet tjfao dolnanil's of tho inevitable ax gatherer. The result will bo,that prdinaryrconsump'tioh will be less, and | I extraordinary consumption more- Those who pay the taxes must buy less; those who receive the I public div ider! da frill bo ? ablh to buy more; there bo loss, low priced., and more high priced goods sold,', more luxuries, and fewer necessaries, proportionately, than-hefore the wgr. ‘_ [ Tho crisis through which wo are now-passing is destined, whether for tunately or unfortunately, to ' assimi latc tho nation, to! European, civiliza t|ioii. 'jfhe great debt which we shall Create will probably hover bo pain, or e|ver repudiated. The nations of Eu rope da hot pay ddbts, they pay tho interest!.
