that since the remova, of the deposites, it
has been reduced to $40 30. What good friends
the present administration have been to the
gold miners of the South, whom they are now
attempting to gain by the credit they aretaking

We believe that by adding one per cent to the
average value of gold for the last 6.years, We
shall have its correct proportion to silver, as

The Vhig Celebration at Boston, on the 4th
inst. is said never to have been surpassed in this
country. There were $500 subscribers, who, at
ter passing through several OF the principal
Streets were seated at the table about half past
| 2, when, says the Transcript, the whole COM
pany, on signal from the President, rose and
stood in silence whilst the Rev. Mr.. Parkman
invoked blessing Of the King Of Kings, in
prayer Of fervent aspiration, followed by ST.
multaneouS and heart felt Amen.
"The coup d'eil' Of the Pavilion, after the
company was seated, all uncovered and all
facing towards the President, with the national

| profusion-pillars entwined with garlands and
| flowers distributed with lavish hand, wherever
the eye found resting pace--the bright sun shin
ing through the open spaces in the tented roof,
and letting the blue sky peep in-the perfect
decorum and propriety of department that pre-
a. Al tnckn n
the Pavillion-the gentle, but animated hum oil
two thousand voices making the air redolent
of happiness, produced impressions surprising
ly grateful to every heart that throbbed within
the enclosure"
The regular toasts and songs were very APP
propriate, and many distinguished guests were
present. Messrs Davis, Adams, Webster, Bur-
ges, Evans and Lincoln, were invited, but not
being able to reach Boston in time, each made
replies and appended toast, which we copy.
