[ «* International currencies, upon coinage; tnd upon pecuniary contract*, is a very largo inquiry fro* qaently under diacaailon in commoroial circle*, in 1 the public print*, and In the hull* of legislation. I barely allude to the subject, without entering upon it, further than to offer one or two practical sugges* lions. According to well considered estimates,,tlio I production of the gold and silver mince of the world, at the commencement of tho present conlory--nol taking into account those countries of Asia, which were nearly shut out from the intercourse of nations _-was in tho proportion of one ounce of gold la forty eix ounces of silver. Immedlotoly before tho open, ing of California, it had probably changed to one ounce of gold ogoinst seventeen ounces of silver. An overage of the productions of the yours 1852 and 1853, upon the same broad scale, appears to give a result of one ounce of gold to less than four ounces of silver. And yet from the first of these periods to the lust, there has been no groat divergence in the bullion market, from the relative proportion of one ounce of gold to sixteen ounces of silver. Surely I this striking fact ought to allay tho feelingsof alarm j bo often experienced ns to the abundant production | of one metal and the diminished supply of the other. There is in fid a happy accommodation In the com. mercial world to these varying relations. When gold was scarce, silver was the great metallic basis, and the former metal was rather used as on adju vant, especially odnplcd to some of the wants of tmdo. But since gold lias become plenty and silver comparatively source, tho wealthier nations of the world have token gold os their prevailing currency, making silver only a subsidiary one, just us copper is to silver. Now, os the purpose of‘making change docs not require a very large stock of metfd, in com. purison with the larger purposes of money, it follows that silver is by no means as much needed as form, erly ; und hero wo have the very remarkable, almost enigmatical sequence, that silver is valued less be cause it is less produced. Tho very general adop tion of small gold coins, such os our dollar, and even tho half Hint, if it were practicable, would still fur (her throw silver out of use, and consequently keep down its value. Largo quantities of it will always bo needed for plote und for ornamental work;—*■ but even in this, the growing growing use, of electroplated ware, in England and in our own country, is aura to have a counteracting effect.— And here it will bo interesting to •lute, that the greatly diminished cost of mercury, which is on indispensable agent in the production of silver, is | ccitain to have a Urge effect in increasing that pro iduction. The monopoly of mercury by which its 1 price was advanced ono bundled per cent., end con. acquenlly the mining of ailvcr greatly impeded, has been dispelled by the opening of the rich cmnabnr mines of California, and the price has receded to the old quotation. Silver mines that have been abandoned can, from this cause, be rc-npcncd and a greater activity may bo expected i« those which . havo been kept constantly in operation.

It seems uppropriole to my official position lhal I should toko this opportunity to join in the urgent demand from various quarters for a simple Inlclh giblo. and well founded system of weights and measures. The Mint has dune as much as it con. (and in this slop it li.is been followed by the Dmk und Mini of England ) in repudiating penny weights and gra’imvln the mode of weighing und keeping accounlfl, viMng only the iroy our cn und its decimal The sanction of Ijw had previously been obtained for doing away with caruls and caral groint in the expression of fineness of gold and of in equally cumbrous notation for the fineness of silver, substi'uting the simple milheimal form in traduced by French asauyers. and becoming gcncrul in Europo.

Senator Douoi.ae*s bill for the organization of the Nebraska Territory, says the JStutem Times, is now attracting much attention. Opposition (9 the bill has manifested itself in some quarters, on account of the nonintervention principle, as re* garde slavery, recommended in the report of the congressional committee to which the subject was referred. The Nebraska bill assumes that the Compromise of 1850 settled the slavery question, and recog nises the right of the Nebraska community to de termine its own constitution, when it comes into the Union, and to clothe it with the attribute of self-government. . The people of an old State, Kentucky for instance, can abplisb slavery or they may retain slavery. In either case the general government would have nothing to say to it— Would anybody say that, by the constitution, power is conferred on Congress to restrain the ac tion of a State as to its local affairs 1' Would not this infringe palpably on State rights 1 This is precisely the position this report and bill propose to regard Nebraska In from the start—on the fool ing of equality with the States. They propose to keep out the slavery ‘question from the action of Congress—as in the compromise measures it la kept out of the territorial governments of Utah and New Mexico. Should this bill succeed, then Ne braska, Utah, and New Mexico will stand on the same footing ; and the policy will be so fixed that ihe Beillerm'bt of ibis question will be a finality. The question, then, whether Nebraska shall tolerate or forbid slavery is left for the decision of ilio people—just the source where, in a govern ment of the people, the question ought to be left. The compromise settled the question in this man ner, and the people also settled it when they called the present national administration, boldly avow ing the doctrine at the outset, into power. There ought, then, to be no serious opposition lo ihe bill by democrats. The sentiments It con tains are among the cardinal doctrines of the de mocratic party, reaffirming the principles tinder which tho democratic party rallied under the lea dership of Gen. Pierce and gained a glorious victory.
