It 1s a fact well agcerta:d that im-

ulation (ivhich this bill seems t6 invite) ; it
has the direct coutrary eifect: depending
on no fixed principles, it opens a fieid for
the excrcise of lngenuity, ever on the aliert
to take advantage of the unwary in the acci-
dential variation of things. Tle success of
the speculator by protession, tempts the
farmer and mechanic to forsake hs accus-
tomed honest pursuits, and launch in the
wiid sea of speeulation; ever exposed to
deviations frem rectitude, his morals be-
come weakned, and eventually ali sense of
commutative justice is destroyed.
Thus impressed as to the probable con-
sequence of the bill, If enacted wito a law,
I -houid betray the trust reposed in me by
my feliow citizens if 1 were to approve its
passage. To differ from the representatives
of the people is painful to me, but to surink
from a respousibility which I consider my-
self in conscience bound to assuine, wouid
be criminal, 1 decline stating any objec-
tions which may have arisen out ot the
fluctuation of opinions amongst tie mems
bers of the General Assembly during the
pendency of the bit under considera
tion, and refer to them only to shew how
tic hopes aud fears of tne members them-
© selves were raised and depressed aud taeir
opinions aitered, by circumstances wihica
couid not at ait influence oars,
‘The bill is returned for reconsideradon,
u:.der the most perfect convictions that uy
duty to our common consiiiuents, to Lae
sta.c and the union, requires me io return

tives of the Legisiature, & trusting to taelr
liberality in viewwg my conduct.

COPPER CURRENCY.
CONGRESS.
House of Representatives, March 10.
Mr. SeyBeRT said he was about to off-
er a resolution for the consideration of the
House, the propriety of which had been
suggested by several gentlemen. Letters
have been veceived; in which itis stated,
that many persons are now engaged in mel-
ting the copper coins of the United States.
This was occasioned by the present enhan-
ced price of copper. Copper sheets were
were now Selling at from 60 to 70 cents per
pound. Those who melted the cents
coined at the Mint ofthe United States,
would gain from 20 to 30 per cent. These
proceedings, he had been told, had
alrcady occasioned much inconveni-
ence in some situations of the Wnited
States, and it was apprehended it wouid ens
jure those who were least ablé to suffer.
To some the amount might seem inconsid-
able and unworthy of legslative interposi-
don. But by the report of the Director of
the mint, it apears that the copper coined
in the year.
1810 amounted to
1811
1812
1813
®15660
2,493
10,755
4,180
Maikng a total for 4 years of $33,090
On an average of8,272 per anum, which
for the last twenty years would be $165,440.
A much graeter amount of these coins must
now be in circulation ; but the inducement
to those who hdd already commenced to
melt them, must be sufficicut to continue
operations, and thus injurously to diminish
the circuiating medium, His resolution
was in the following words :
“ Resoloed, That a committee be appoin-
ted to enquire into the expediency of alters
ing the copper coins of the United Sates.”
The motion was agreed to
