iD% s. s. Brown, in his speech at the ho-
cus-pocus convention, said that the gold orna-
ments, breast pins, ear rings, plate, &c. &C.,
worn or used by the people, If converted into
coin, would furnish the country with hard
money currency. II this ioere true, there would
be some difficulty in getting the currency after
all, unless laws were passed TO prohibit the
use Of the precious metals for ornaments, and
requiring the dandies to convert their biioute-
rie into cash. To avoid any obstacle on this
head, we have proposition to make, and we
humbly commend it as an item worthy dis
tingushed place in the next Presidents mes
cage. Every body knows, who ever went to
Washington, or has seen any considerable por-
ton oil the army Of custom-house officers,
clerks in the departments, receivers of the pub.
lie monies, SIC. &c., that nobody sport more
jewels, gold safety chains, pins, rings and
gold-headed canes than the mass Of these, who
are fed from the public crib and receive the
specie (if any for their wages. Our proposition
is, that these fellows DO made legal tender in
business transactions, their value 10 be propor-
TONED according to the quantity Of the precious
metals attached TO their persons We think
this plan is mani'osty advantageous Of any
other, at least in SO far as it permits the fellows
to crafty their love of show, and at the same
time affords the country currency. As to the
trouble or expense of Transporting so bulky n
coin, it will be entirely avoided at certain Pc

recting the com'tee to procure the use Of one Of
the public buildings in Montpelier The re-
solutions Of the committee were adopted I'M
animously and sub silentio, with the exception
of few remarks on imprisonment for debt by

protesting the same principles, upwards

lished in the Patriot at the present time, and

arc now SO thoroughly Anti. masonic, there
may be danger that they will mislead the peo-
pie, and that "ths hope, Of our democratic

take that lying Waterman | can prove 1t
is the iyinist paper in the whole state.
Farmer W.-Yes, no doubt you can, Just
as Lydia A. could prove something else--"be-
cause our Almanac said co." You can provo
that the Waterman lies, because the Patriot
says so.
You see that not only editorial, but govern
mental influence, is against you.
Remarks. AS TO "edtorial influence" we
care very little: the editorial vocabulary, by
far too generally, attaches a meaning 10 words
and particularly to hard woodworking con-
sderably from the standards Of Walker, Web
ster or Worcester. For instance, lying means
sometimes nothing more nor less than unpala-
table truth Misrepresentation is frequently a
term descriptive of very plain picture. Of the
transactions Of political opponent; and wani
of patriotism, opposed 10 democracy, federalism,
bankiSm, sc. &C., more frequently mean only
that the object Of the epithets is not on our
side
AS to the opposition and influence Of the
o6ice-holders, it did not need he testimony Of
our correspondent TO prove the fact; indeed
the very same mail which brought the above
communication, brought with it an insulting
note from an office-holder These continual
efforts of the Office holders TO injure us in our
reputation and bnsiness-to shut out, by fail
means or foul, our paper IRON circulation
and to keep the light cfthe press from the peo.
ple-are all evidences TO US, not only that oul
influence is fell, but also that in continually op
posing that administration which has stationed
IFS thousands Of electioneerers & spies through
out the whole Union, and converted the pat
ronege Of the government into an instrumen
for the pcrpetuation Of poWsr,-we are doing
our duty, as faithful watchmen on the politca
walls of the state. The minions Of the admin
istration-in truth, though, we do not beiev,
all Of the ofIice-holders will so far forget them
selves as to engage in the busness--may con
tinuc 10 use every effort 10 sop the circulation
or destroy the influence Of the Waterman; bu
we tell them, that we shall neither slacken GU
course nor waver in our opposition TO tn
eourc Of such abuses. We believe that tn
public interests demand, and the people vii
justify, resistance, till the end of such thing
shall come.

MEssRs. EDIToRs.-Can you tell us why so
much is said by the VT. Patriot and North Star
aboutthe "lying Waterman 2" II seems TO be
poi3t that the editors Of those two papers are
very anxions to settle, that the Waterman is
the iyingist paper printed in the State and al
tho your subscribers often see such statements
in those papers, and hear them asserted by the
collar-men, yet they think the evidence not
quite satisfactory. Il is within the memory Of
man, when the Patriot said the Star was
monstrons liar, and the Star said the same of
the Patriot; SO taking their statements 10 be
true, neither OF them are 10 be believed. But
you have something moro TO contend with: at
a certain Post office in this state, your subscr.
bers are often accosted in this way: "Why
do you take that lying Waterman can
prove that II prints more lies than any other
paper in the state" Ifyou had been there at
