like our Congressional speeches, they were
prepared before hand by the ladies them
selves, and transferred to the printer.

of cash pawn ents, was under discussion in
the British House of Commons on the 18th

"that this house do not alter the standard
Of silver in 6neness, weight sor denomina-

"Weil. what will be done now? Cob

Really, if we are to be blown about in
this weathercock way we had better have
a Republic at once. The standard OF our
currency (according TO the unintelliglble
jargon OF our political economists) has
been changed once, to the great derange,.
ment OF all our pecuniary concerns and
now we are called upon to change 1t back
again, without the slightest regard 10 the
additional confusion that such measure
must produce. 1.-The particular evils that
have resulted from the return OF cash pay
ments )" says the Courier, "were fully an
ticipated by the Legislature and the coun'
trv' when that great measure was agita-
ted" We should like 10 see the proof Of
this broad assertion Our opinion is, that
if the evils that have resulted from it, or
one half of them had been forseen, that
very ill-iudged measure would not have
been adopted but that is no reason what
ever why we should rush blindtoId upon
an opposite train of evils. We raised our
feeble voice Intellectually against the pas
sing of Mr.. Peel's Bill but now that it bias
done all the mischief that it can do, we
raise the same voice against its repeal.
