Mr: ortcei l and of-your correspondent, li.

• The'reas Sin assigned in the Report of 'the
Institute, fOr the adoption of the resolution
Mentioned,' is not 'founded on' 'anything that
can be foetid in Steddard's Arithmetic, nor
can anything be found in any Arithmetic that
will lead a person to suppose, that a shilling
in, each of the several -currencies is consider
ed equal. to a shilling Sterling money. Such
an idea ne+er could have originated from a i
knowledgel.of Arithmetic. •
..._ Y our correspondents seem to 'have 'a pro.
found respect fur the mathematical skill of I
Prof. Stoddard; but they assisted in pissing
ia resolution :asserting, that - in his biiolc 'are i
things which are unreasonable. Noli, is it
probable- that a good rnathenutticir would
publish anything without first Ascertaining,

I Mr. Norton seems• to surpass that 'when
I the Federal Currency was'established all oth
-1
,er currencies were abolished. lii this ho is
mistaken, and I.think .if hie perception was as
le , od ai'lt should- he taiould see his lois,'

Ido we reckon by-shillingi and pence 'I We

using itl? -Tie pith ia, this currency has not
gone'c'ett of u 4 but it is not useilexiAusive
ly, as it was before the . . - aoption of the Fed
eral currency:.. g
- ,
• Again, how cab it be, that $1 equaled two
'fifths ofa poimd New -York currency, and
three,tentlsi of a pound New England curren
t cy, previous to,the adoption of Federal mon
ey ; since before that time there_ was no
isoieri6an dollar. ' Mr.• Norton himself can
hut. adinit that the Reduction of Currencies
could net

pounds to dO!firs befoie there- were any dol
lars ; ,hence thjs.rule must- have been estab

that di &nether since the adoption of Federal
money,. If itis note obsolete, will Mr. Nor
ton tell us•when itheeame in ?,
'redo not ofte4f' reckon money by ;the

we have no poen& ? It vie use shillings and

Mr: N rten t hinks, still the Reduction of cur.

it he useless ; for in ' our transactions with ,
other nations we are continually -obliged to I
change mobey_frorn One currency . to another, !
and ,if_we know nothing of changing curtep•

Another error which Mr. Norton seems to
have fallen intois,.he , baS the idea that a

of Democracy. Let those who doubt or deny

Tux SLAVE Tamm—Docter Livingstone,

in Londori - on the 14th ultimo, said :-1 feel
convinced that ' i f we can establish a .system
of free labor in Africa it will have most de
cided influence upon slavery throughout tFe
world. [Loud cheers.] Success, - however,
under Providence, depends upon us as F.,-
lizhme ! .. - I look upon Englishmen as per
haps the most freedom-loving people iu the
world' and I think that the kindly - feeli4g
which has been displayed towards ine since
my return to my native land has arisen from
the belief that my efforts might at some fill
tore time tend to put an end to the- cdio l us
traffic in slaves. [Loud cheers.] , Eughtial
has, unfortunately, been compelled to obtrlin
cotton - and Other row material froth slae
states [cheers,] and has thus been the main
stay and support of slavery in America.
Surely, then, it follows that if weeansucceed
in obtaining the raw material from .other
sources than from the slave States of Am ri
ce we should strike a heavy blow at the a , s-_,
tem! of slavery itself. [Loud cheers.] I !do
nut wish to arouse expectations in connection

A Homr. Titausr.—On Saturday, Mr.
Wade, of Ohio, spoke on the Kansas hill,
and when commenting on the Dred Scottide
cisior., he used the following pertinent sin tile.
We copy front the Senate reports :
Mr. Wade next passed to the Supreme
Court, commenting on its - bred &eptt decis
ion, and asserting that its dictation can hind
no one except suitors in their own courts.
Then addressing hiniself to. Mr. Hainmond's
boast, that the slave-holders had ruled this
r
nation for sixty years, be admitted its t uth
_but contended that it was only th=ough the
t
aid _ of those most despicable of men—the
Northern'doughjaca- , -a type of men no t new
in the world, for Moses encountered the in
the wilderness, where, turning from the livisi
ble glories of the Almighty, they fell prostrate
to worship an Egyptian calf. These men
-hungered after, the ylesh.pots of Egypt. They
were national men. They were not Agorifern•
men with Southern principles, but Isra liter

JUSTICE TO CLAIMANTS AGAINST THE OV
temaNT.—Mr. Grow has introduced ii bill
allowing the Government to be sued i l n its
Fe
own courts. Why should it not be ? Why
should not a eitirk e ti have the same rei n y
against the government s ibat the govern ent
4 i
has against him, or that he has against anoth
er citizen? . Why should the governme it re
fuse tii.pay the coststo which it has s bject,
ed a citizen in the prosecution of his I legal
rights I Why should not the 'government
pay interest I All these doctrines-of the im.
munity of the government are derived fro m
the feudal and Legal rights of despoti mt.—
The doctrine that the king can do no wrung
and is responsible for no injury has been
transferred, most improperly and inconsist
ently, to our republican system. It does not
belong here. - , ' I -
'We havatiot seen the details of Mr: Grow's
