THE MET, COINAGE, ice.
1 From the report of the operations of t':e
dint, in. Philadelphia, - for the past, month, it
appears that the greater share of the gold coin
age is in half-eagles, eagles and double eagles.
The same.may also be observed with reference
to the coinage for some months preceding.
We are right glad that thisniatter is attract
ing the attention and calling down the censure
of the public kress generally, and especially in
this. State. -
.
;;,The injnitiee, the great wrong inflicted on
the people by thin gunageinent, is manifest.—
The evident object. Of .the fraineri of the Con-
Otatlax t - furtho-rog4 lation- of dui eohltagr t Was,
that for all purposes in the intercourse of com
munity, commercially, gold and silver should'
•
constitute' the 'circulating medium. The dif-'
terent denominations of our money, are pecu-
Cidiarly adapted to business purposes, and it is
the standard bk.which value is measured.
The exchange of money in the every-day
tenor:use of men, aside from large towns and,,
cities, is generally of small denominations•H
ire find but little use made'of the large coins'
Rn the country, or of bills of a large deem:nil:in-'
l On What the People want is emphatically
1 r and that _they must have, and that
lit was intended they should have. Flow far
'illey are benefitted by that provision and in-'
tcntion we shall hereafter see.
Our State, at the present moment, is flooded
t!vith - billsteatied from Banking institutions, of
denominations from one dollar to those much
larger. As a general thing it holds true, that,
in proportion as theseßills increase in denom
ination, they are: less used—that those rePre-,
seating iorie from one to Ellie dollars are con=
stantly passing from hand to hand; while those
larger enter principally into the business, of
large commercial dealers:_ The same is true
of coin. 'lt is rarely, indeed, that we see in
'circulation Entles,-and very rarely double Ea
glea, or twenty dollar pieees. Such are lock
ed up in the miser's cheat.; or hoarded in Bank
vaults us a basis fur issuing notes of • a small
denorninhtion, but' not for the pnrnoso
deeming theit. So long, as °Bank keeps "pleri-1

But ever 'since that measure was first a,gitatcd,.l

commenced, for the repeal of the' "small note,
law," it would seen that all the, peelers of the
Mint have been put in requisition to force the
People to disregard the law on one hand, and
to favor the Passage of the other. - -Instead of
giving us coin convenient to our wentS, they
s have -coolly - disregarded positiVe duty'', wai
rod the interests of the whole community for

sisted greatly to curse us with an unsafe and
Valueless currency.'
This wrong is too flagrant fOr endurance,
and we hope, ardently hope, that the.

corruption shall ;be fully exposed, and those
engaged in it be made to feel the full measure
of their iniquity from 'the hands of an outra

WHIGS AlelEl THE rioirrn mI NC 111
Our readers mill recollect the extraordinary
efforts that Iniv i e been put forth by the Whigs,
for the past three years, to make to themselves
capital by professed friendship fur the comple
tion of the Nprth Branch Canal. Governor
Johnston seized npon it t when a candidate,
made.dspeciai mission to this section'of the
State, followed along the line_ Of Canal, demon
strating, his friendship to the enterprize in ex
travagant promises and solemn pledges. Kith
these ho strewed the North, while, at the same
time, the advantages to be reaped by the State
from the completion of that great work, were
set forth, by the illustrious "Steiger," in
rhetoric glowing - and golden.
By,-romion of thiS course William F. Johns
ton Was 'elected Governor. True, there were
other causes that assisted in his election; but
Without the North Branch his hobby would
have been incomplete and his defeat Certain,—
The next general election Witnessed the same
game played, thoegh . less adroitly and with no
success at all. 'A . little more' than tlie years
have elapsed (ample time to test Whig fidelity)
and we find Governor Johnston covetly wa
ging, a fatal war against this Very measure.—
The same man who Was elected to the highest
place of trust in the Commonwealth because
of his friendship to this measure, after having
cheated the North and played demagogue to
the - South; when made to face his pledges,
Skulks behind the Executive chair and puts
forth a convenient and supple tool to defeat
the appropriation, virtually, in the Legislature.
Another State 'election is nigh at hand, and,
from present appearances, this Proteus-like 1
Governor will be - a Candidate for re-election.—
When that time conies we shall expect to see.
him again in our old Court House at Montrose, I
dtcsittiming long and loud upon the importance
of the North Branch cOmi)letion without the
least delay. 'We shall then expect, also, to
see our prominent and active Whigs foremost
in the van, crazy foi the jompletion,'and pro
testing most sacredly that they not only are,
but ceer hare Inert the earnest and only friends
of the work. Now 'mark our prediction, and
` see itjt is not so; and then point the faithless
i impudents to their own record in the House of
Repre.seritatives, just made, declaring the fact,
,that ererj lVhig ZO4 SIX in that House, voted,
virtually, as any appropriation for the
completion of 'the Coml. Remember this,
people of the North, when your votes are ask
ed, next fall, ter the: men-who "have betrayed
you by falsehood: and duplicity. Remember

COXNECTICL'T ELEcnox.--Seymour; the Dem
ocratic candidato for Governor,: has a plurality
of about 1000, There is no choice for State
officers, consequently the complexion- of the
atiministration for the Comingyear will depend
upon the Legislature, which will probably be
Whig by a very small majority. ,'

to see Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode

suddenly disappeared last week, taking with
him, besides various articles bought on credit,
several items of borrowed money, a watch ob

of the ladies in town; about two hundrcddol

in pursuit for more than a'weeli, but whether

for th!'winter term of .this institution, closed
Saturday last. We were unable to be pres:

we_ saw, and heard from others; We think it
passed off very satisfactorily to the friends and
patrons of the school;
Mr. WATERS, the Principal, is evidently a
fine scholar, a., thorough teacher, 'and s' strict
disciplinarian; the good•effects of which; up.
on the minds of.the students, were visible in
the examination:

"New Milfoid." Now, the argunient that drunk.
