IS HONEY SCARCE 1
Every body is interested in this snbjeot; and
if we oould do it fall jastioe we might hope
to do somo good. So far as the west is concern
ed there is now much less paper money in
circulation than there was eighteen months ago.
The crash of the Indiana bonks withdrew a
large amount of their paper from circulation.
The reduction of paper money in the west from
that cause is estimated at eleven millions. It
will probably be redeemed in the end at Bmall
loss to the holders, but several of thoeo free
banks will wind up and stop. Throughout most
Of the western States, since the panic in money
matters, the banks have contracted their issues,
and strengthened their specie basis as much as
possible. Thus, in New Orleans, we find by the
book returns that tho banks of that city bad ac
tually more specie in their vaolts than they had
paper in circulation. Those banks have reduced
their circulation somo three or four millions
Within tho last few months. By tho returns of
the Kentucky banks it also appears that they
hate in the same time reduced their circulation
about five millions. The banks of tho other
western and southwestern States hare pursued a
similar coarse. The consequence is that the
amount of bank paper in tho west is smaller now
than heretofore; but all the western banks that
stand firm have strengthened themselves for
futare operations, and are better prepared than
ever to increase their issues when basiness as
sumes its wonted activity, and confidence is re
stored.
Bat while the amount of paper money in tho
west has thns been reduced, and a scaroity of
money felt as a consequence, there can be no
doabt that there is more gold and silver in tho
western States now than at any former period.
In the year 1853, and daring the first half of
the year 1854, more money was paid in tho west
for grain and all kinds of provisions than ever
before within the same time. The prices wero
higher, and there was more grain and food for i
sale. Never bat once before did wbeat in the 1
western States bring so Dear two dollars per (
bushel, and other food proportionate prices ; and |
then the farming products of the west were far *
less than in 1853. In 1854, too, nearly nino
million dollars worth of pnblio lands were sold
by the government, and the specie carried
west to pay for them. Large amounts of money
borrowed In the east on westorn railroad bonds
and other securities, have within the last few
years been carried to[the west to build railroads.
From all these and other causes it is safe to af
firm that there mast be throughout the west a
sufficient supply, and an unusual supply of gold
and stiver never before eqaalled. The contrac
lion of the circulation of bank paper, and the
hoarding of speoie daring the late time of alarm
were sufficient to cause a temporary scaroity of
money in the ordinary channels of basiness.
Bat with the return of confidence, already par
tially restored, and the certainty of good crops
next summer, of which there is now a good
prospect, the hoarded money will come into the
market, and the western banks extend their is
sues and discounts ; and there will no longer bo
any complaint of a soarcity of money in the
western States.
One thing is worthy of note. Baring the
late financial troubles and panio tho Pennsylva
nia banks have Btood firm. They, too, have
somewhat contracted their operations ; bat they
have kept within the limits of safety. The
Pittsburgh banks, .it is believed, were never
more sound ; and they could probably dlsoount
far more liberally than at present with perfeot
safety, if necessary.
Money, it is true, bears a high price in all our
cities. But with such an unlimited demand for
money for railroad and other purposes all over
the country, and particularly at the West, it
must continue to command high rates of inter-
eat; and the injurious and absurd usury laws,
whioh our sagaoious and brave law-makers dare
not repeal, must remain as heretofore, a dead
letter, and a nuisance, driving money from the
market, bnt not in the slightest degree regulating
its nse; and increasing the price of money by
reducing the amount offered for loan in this
State.
Snob, then, are thtr western monetary pros
paots; and if we look east, the prospeot is
equally encouraging, it seems to ub ; and we
look on the enoouraging aide of things, without
misrepresenting the true state of foots.
The banks in New York are stronger in specie
than ever. Good paper is freely discounted •
and the trade in stooks, a pretty good index of
the state Of the money market, is active, and
prices slowly advancing on “ promising stooks.”
Thns, in the New York Evening Poet of the first
Inst., we find the following paragraph nnder its
commercial head, where reliable statements can
generallybefonnd:
« Money In this market la In great excess of supply, and
good, borrowers areto.BeekJnthe.mMket. Proffered loans J
to largo extent are in a great many Instances refused. !
Monoy ratea are 5 to 7 per cent, for call loans, and 6@7 for
discount of prime paper. Second class names are negotia
ted at i@9 per cent. Foreign exchange continues to grow
easier.”
fossfc
The tenor of advices from New York have
been of a similar tone for some time fast.
Stooks may fluctuate in price, bat the general
tendency Is upward, not rapidly, but steadily.
The Boston money markot is in the same con
dition.
: MARCH 5
At the same time two other facts, heretofore
frequently notioed, should be borne in mind.
Tho imports of foreign goods into the country
are of late greatly reduced. The falling off of im
ports ioto New York in January last, compared
with the same month of the previous year, was
nearly six million dollars worth, or more than!
one-half. This gives promise that the exports
of specie, and tho foreign indebtedness of the
country, will soon be most satisfactorily reduced*
This is just what all desired, and what was most
needed to prevent the constant drain of money
from the country to pay for extravagant luxu
ries, and for more foreign fabrics than were
needed for consumption in this country. The
other faot, equally important and encouraging,
is that tho receipts of gold from California still
keep up to about their usual line, and the ac
counts from the mines are not unfavorable.
What reason is there, then, for continued
alarm, or continued depression of business?
When our ohanncls of trade are opened with
tho coming spring, and with the prospects of the
growing crops, reported good from all parts of
the country, business must soon assume its wont
ed activity ; and money enough to do it be
found ready for use iu the market. Tho crops,
if not again cut off, must be very large this year.
From all parts of the west wo are told that un
usually wide holds wero sown in the fall, and
will bo sowed and planted in the spring. And
thoro is little danger of over-produotion. The
state of Europo, and the almost certainty of a pro
tracted and most desolating war there, assures
us of a sufficient market for all our surplus pro
ductions. Even the result of poaco iu a few
weeks could not prevent a very largo demand for
our food next fall. We will venture once moro
to predict “ a good time coming,” and not far
distant, for the commercial, agricultural and
other material interests of this country.
Know Nothing Nominations is Kentucky.
—The late Cayenne Convention which met in
Louisville, it is understood, nominated Judge V.
Loving, of Warren, for Governor, and J. 6.
Hardy, of Barren, for Lieutenant Govornor—
tho former having heretofore acted with the
Whig and tho tatter with the Democratic party.
The Courier says theso gentlemen are both men
of ability, and will be elooted in all probability,
as, “ the opposition they will encounter from
either Whigs or Democrats will be bat feeble, if,
indeed, either of tho old parties can mako and
unite upon a ticket.”
Aid to Qov. Pollock.— John W. Riddell, Esq.,
a promising young member/of the Pittsburgh
Bar, has received the appointment of aid to his
Excellency, with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.
Among the Governor’s peculiar friends and ad
mirers here he could hardly have mado a better
selection, and we hope for the 6ake of the in
tended honor to Colonel Riddell that it will not
become too frequent.

Decline of Aristocratic Rule in England,
THE POPULAR MOVE TOWARDS
SELF-GOVERNMENT.
* [ From the London -limes, February 14.]
. t!l ® life °f every mao there are eertaio pe
noda when, overcome by some bodily weakness,
led BBlde by some strong passion, or engrossed
by some favorite pnrsuit, ho seems to lose his
grasp over his doßtiny, to relax his efforts after
the end at which ho is straining, and to sink
baok into ease, indolenoe, and solf complacency.
Mnoh snoh a period has this country passed
through since the establishment of free trade in
1840. Immersedcin the pursuit of material
wealth, proud of the extension which our noble
principle gave to our commerce, and happy in
the relief from pauperism and the increased fa
cility of finding employment, we have been only
too well content with things as they were and
too little disposed to inquire what they should
be. The revolutions of 1848, and the crimes
miseries and absurdities to which they gave
rise, bad produced a ro-aotion against liberal
sympathies and opinions, and atendenoy to sub
mit without inquiry to whatever authorities
might be plaoed over us. The election of 1852
was a struggle for a principle virtually con"
demned already, and praotically obsolete, and
the nation only sought to strengthen the hands
of those in whose adhesion to free trade they
felt entire confidence. From different oircum
stanocs it came to pass that at no period sinco
the Reform bill had the aristocratic families ob
tained so firm a hold on offioe, place and patron
age as in the commencement of the year 1854
They had conducted our business for many yearß
without any extraordinary miscarriage or mis
fortune, and we were content to leave them the
field of politics as their peculiar vocation and
monopoly. But war has always been noted as
an unsparing innovator— the destroyer of con
ventional respectabilities, and the overthrower
or all manner of snug and oomfortable cliques
and coteries. The experience of the last few
months has awakened tho people of England
from their dreams of wealth and prosperity—
from their traditional solf gratulations over tho
naval and military exploits of tho late war, and
from tho supposition that men invested with
high rank and clothed with groat office are pos
sessed of faculties equal to tho direction of our
affairs whenever there is more than an orainary
Btrain on the vessel of the State. Oar eyes are
open, and we bohold that wo ore naked We
ask for talent snffiolont to conduct great affairs
to successful conolnßions, and instead of talent
wo are offered tides and pedigrees. Wo ask for
merit, and wo are offered in exohango high con
nexions, or, at bost, soniority. Tho cold shado
of aristocracy is over us alt, and nothing can
grow benoath it except tho offshoots or the tree
itself. Op to tho middle of November this
country believed itself to have armies, generals,
statesmen, departments, all equal to their seve
ral duties, all of the very beßt tho world could
afford, and now, in tho middle of February, in
three short months, all is ohanged, or rather all
la reversed. We havo awoke from our dream of
hope, prosperity and eocenes, to disaster and
dismay. Our generals havo turned out worso
than useless, our ministers something more than
incapable, overy publio department has been
crushod into hopeless imbecility by tho weight
of unbending routino and worthless formalities,
and on no one oooasion that wo are aware of hag
tho right man been selected to fill tho right
Place. Everything has been mismanaged to a
dogreo which, if predicted, would have been
deemed incredible; yet, so far as tho publio arc
aware, no single official has yet been rcoallod,
and, after a week’s interregnum, government
has been reconstituted and strengthened only by
tho omission of three of its loading members,
and the promotion of one who is at least as
guilty as any of those omitted.
Tho people of England have remained quiet
under all these things. They have felt—as how
should they not feel ?—tho mortality which has
brought mourning to etery hearth. They hate
noted—as how should thoy not note? the in
credible and inexplicable confusion and stupidity
whioh have presided over overy department, giv
ing reality to absurdities, such as the most ex
travagant imagination conld never havo painted,
and occasioning miseries snoh as the gloomiest
prophet could never ha’jc foreboded. Why the
people havo been bo long silent has been to most
reflecting men a matter of wonder and astonish
ment. They feel most acutely, but they have re '
mained hitherto passive spectators of tho method
in which their best hopes and dearest interests
havo been squandered and betrayed. Perhaps
they havo cherished a hope that at the meeting
of Parliament all things would bo well. Per
haps they bavo been content to read their senti
ments faithfully reflected In the columns of the
press. Whatever bo the canse of their silence
tho eauso oxlsts no longer, and we bavo to look
for on expression of pubiioopinion from one end
of this country to the other, which will convey
to our governing classes a most clear and intelli
gible warning that the patience of tho nation is
exhausted, and that tho necessity of widening
the area from which our Executive is to bo aken
is great and paramount. Tho enthusiastic meet
ing at tho town of Derby has led the way and
tho remaining towns of England will not be slow
to follow. The ory is for practical statesmen
ship, for opening a freo career to talent, for
placing our resources in hands equal tp the
emergency. The Derby petitioners hold no ox-
ravagant or exaggerated language—they de
clare tbeir oenfidonoo io the jnßtioo of tho war
they expresa their humiliation and regret at the
disasters which hare occurred, thoy pray for a
searching Inquiry into their causes, and suggest
remedies adequate to tho emergency which we
hate to meet Whllo ministers are debating how
to fill up tho most important offices with tho least
competent persons, and considering the claims
of rank, of family, and of connexion—of eyery
thing except merit and capacity—"while the
friends of •• rising young statesmen " of tho truo
breed are indefatigably soliciting their advance
ment from office to office, tho people of England
who care for nono of those things, aro gravely
taking the matter Into their serious considera
tion, and coming to conclusions but littlo favor
able to the stability of tho presont governing
classes. We have been ready to allow plaoo ao3
patronago to bo monopolised by a few great
families. We have been oontent to live in our
country, strangers to our own government, ex
cluded from tho working of our own institutions
but it was only on condition that our national
pride should be respected, and our interests and
position in the groat family of nations remain
inviolate. This our aristocraoy have failed to
seouro to us, and thoreforo tho pooplo of Eng
land will, wo hope, demand, in no spirit of wild
and theorotioal levelling, in no spirit of hatred
or animosity to any portion of the community
but in tho Bpirit of practical reform of an urgent
and intolerable grievance, that the system which
exoludos plebian talent from high offioo shall
henoeforth bo discontinued, and that in tho
army, at tho desk and in tho oounoll thoso men
shall be called to tho publio Bervico who aro beat
able to serve tho pubilo. Wo wish all suoocss to
this movement It has boon our painful lot to
witness more nearly than others and to obtain
more ample information as to tho manner in
whioh this war has boen oonductod and wo do
not hesitate to expross tho opinion that without
an entire ohange of system, a substitution of
youth and enorgy for ago and dcorepitudo un
less somo plan can be hit upon by whioh morit
shall be the only oriterion in the filling up of
oivil and military offioea—without, in faot. a
complete abandonment of tho claims of wealth
of family, and of interest, in favor of that high
er nobility whioh the hand of God has impressed
on the forohoad of every man of talent, it is vain
for us to oontinue tho present contest, and bet
ter to aooopt any oonditions, however degrading
and however humiliating, sinoo no degradation
and no humiliation Buffered at the hands of an
enemy can exoeod thoso whioh our own servility
and meanness have inllioted, and aro about to
inflict upon ourselves.

bill, Mr. Faulkner alluded to claims for dama
ges on California, during the Mexican war.
Mr. Benton understood him to say something
detrimental to Mr. Fremont. Rising mdigoaat*
ly, and repelling with extreme warmth the as
sertion, —Did you say Mr. Fremont did it, sir T
Did you say Fremont did it ? (Cries of order.)
The Speaker rapped with his hammer, and in
formed the gentleman that he was out of order.
Mr. Benton.—l know I am, sir; but I want
to vindicate truth and justice, sir. (Cries of
order, and much confusion.)
Mr. Faulkner [elevating his voice.] —The
gentleman is not more inclined to do this more
than I am; there was no occasion for his exoite
ment; I was not making the slightest allusion
to Mr. Fremont on injury or destruction of pro
perty by him ; I was speaking of a private
claim, and alluded to the testimony of Commo*
dore Stookton.
The report of the committee of conference
was then rejected, and, on motion, the Senate
was asked to appoint another oommittee of
conference.

NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
cured by Dr. J VLands Liver Pißi.—Mr. Jonathan Hough-1
am, of Wert Union, Park county, Illinois, writes to the :
proprietors that he had suffered greatly from a severe and '
protracted attack of Fever and Ague, and was completely
restored to health by the use of the Liter Pills alone.
These Pills unquestionably possess great tonio properties,
and can bo taken with decided advantage for many dis
eases requiring invigorating remedies; but the Liver Pills
stand pre-eminent as a means of restoring a disordered
lirer to healthy action; hence the great celebrity they
have attained. The HUtnerOtl9 farmHahlft rilaiwmß nrialng
from a diseased lirer—which eo long baffled the skill of the
most eminent physicians of the United States—are now
rendered easy of cure, thanks to the study and persever
ance of tho distinguished physician whose name this great
modicine bears—a name which will descend to posterity as
one deserving of gratitude. This Invaluable medicine
should always be kept within reach; and on the appear,
a nee of the earliest symptoms of liver, it can be
safely and usefully administered.
Purchasers will he careful to ask for Dr. Mlane’s Cele
brated Liver Pills, and take none else. There ore other
Pills, purporting to he Liver Pills, now before the public.
Dr. M*Lane’s Liver Pills, also his Celebrated Vermifuge, can
now be had at all respectable Drag Stores in the United
States and Canada.

Opinion* of tit© Press... The following is
from Gen. George P. Morris, In the Home Journal, of No
vember 7,1816.
All editors profess to be the guardians of the rights of the
people, and to keep them advised, through their columns,
of whatever shall arise for their benefit. We will live up
to this letter, and inform them that the most wonderful
and valuable medicine for their general use over invented,
is * DALLEY’S MAQIOAL TAIN EXTRACTOR.” Its vir*
tues are eo rare, mighty and eccentric, that often they ap
pear to work more like miracles than by science, so effective,
electric, and astounding are its powers on the human body,
that, though now it Is daily tried by thousands of people!
not one of this great mass bat Is delighted beyond compar
ison, and candidly confess they, on no consideration will
ever again be without 1L
The inventor, Mr. H. Dailey, has wisely kept the secretto
himself. Counterfeits are busy about it, but without suc
cess. Its overwhelming merits defy all competition, and its
peculiarities analysis. Weconfidentlycommendall parents
to seek its acquaintance, for surely such a friend, wholaughs
at death and suffering, rrstoros the blind, lame, halt, and
scarred to perfection, and all from pain, is “a friend in
deed.”
We wish the discoverer of this mighty blessing, who Is a
real benefactor to mankind, God speed.
