THE PAR OF EXCHANGE.

To those wholly unacquainted with the
facts, it appears like an enigma, when they
hear it stated, that exchange on. London, is
at or near par. though quoted in the papers at
10 to per cent. premium.
The facts are these. The currency in
England is based on gold. Foreign silver
and gold coin as well as bullion, are there
both mere articles Of merchandise The
standard Of gold, as established in England,
is about ten per cent above that now exist
ing in this country. Before the alteration,
which was made by Congress in s34, reduc-
ing the standard Of gold about six per cent.
below what it was established at previously,
it was only about four per cent. below the
English standard of gold. Since that act has
been in operation, the comparative standard
value of gold and silver in this country have
been equal or nearly so.
1t will be perceived, therefore, that per-
son shipping either gold or silver from this
country to England must sustain loss on the
same Of about ten per cent. because, he
exchanges it for currency so much more
valuable. Thus, if he ships one thousand
dollars either in gold or silver, he will receive
in the sale of it in London, only about nine
hundred dollars in gold Of the British stand
ard 1t must therefore be apparent to any
one, that when person wishes to make a
small remittance to London, can exchange
his specie in this country, for bill on that
place payable in the standard currency OF Eng
land at about ten per cent premium, he will
not ship the specie. This will probably ex-
plain fully to the understanding OF many, that
which before might have appeared as mys-
terry.

A THIRD" PARTY.

Some of the most firm supporters Of the
Republican party, deceived by the repeated
misrepresentation of our adversaries, have
been abused into the groundless belief, that
we countenanced the formation of "third
partv." The columns of the Madisonian JUS
tify no such Inference We have as steadily
adhered to the principles, the integrity, and
the preservation of the Republican party, as
we have constantly opposed the removal of
party land marks, and the support of any ex-
pedents considered as disorganizing and
revolutionary" changing alike the policy of
the government, and the principles Of the pal
y.
If third" party should ever be formed,
it will be formed by those only, and Of those
solely, who are now falsely charging the Ma
disonian with countenancing its formation.
Our correspondent &C." correctly under
stands us-we wish some Of our "Conserva-
tive" contemporaries would find it as easy to
discover the meaning of language, and would
do us Justice, as we have done unto them, of
pldCiHS US Ill Oui iuo pooiloh AZ thSh W.
umns, as we have placed ourselves in our
own. Our adversaries have placed their own
construction upon our remarks to suit their
own purposes-when we have animadverted
upon them we have placed them at length in
our columns as they exhibited themselves in
their own. We are surprised that the truth
should SO much shock the minds Of our CO.
temporaries as to arouse such blasts of thun-
dering Indignation as constantly fall upon our
heads. What have we done! Have we as
sailed any class of citizens-have we denied
our party faith--have we gone over to the
enemy-have we outraged justice, or commit
ted any wrong in the face Of honorable men
Surely, it must be admitted that when the
divided ranks of the old Republicans unite, it
will be upon Conservative principles, the
primitive principles, and the only safe doc
trines of the party. True Republicans are
certainly conservators Of truth, Of justice, Of
order, of union, and of the constitution. This
surely can be no heresy-no "new light"
doctrine-no sudden discovery. We stand
upon original doctrines, and shall there con-
tinue to stand, and we aatter ourselves, that
the people Of this country, too intelligent to be
duped, and too yirtuous to be corrupted, will
come to the rescue.

We give the remarks of the Richmond En-
quirer in reply to our New York correspond
ent, We assure the able and patriotic editor
that we shall always strive to do him justice.
We never suspected that he had abandoned
his opposition to the Sub-treasury scheme
on the contrary, we are proud to say that the
Enquirer has constantly co-operated with us
in opposing that measure-that he will con-
tinue to do so we have no doubt, and we have
as little doubt that he will oppose the modii-
cation of the Special Deposite scheme pro-
posed in the Message, which is only the
Sub-treasury scheme in another, and as the
sagacious editor has already perceived, more
odious form-leaving the public funds at the
discretion" of the Executive. Shall we
not find the veteran editor battling against
that also, with the zeal which has always dis
tinguished his attachment to republican prin-
ciples7 The Enquirer asks ais it necessary
to have a distinct political organization" to
put down what he calls the i" floating scum"
"the rabble followers of the camp" or, the
Loco-focos' We answer, that the "rabble
followers Of the camp" stole into the "wig-
wan" in New York and we were defeated.
And we shall continue to be defeated un-
til those "rabble followers" are expelled
from the camp which they have polluted, and
the lines be distinctly drawn between them
and us. Our organization must be '.distinct"
from the Loco-focos separate and apart, now
and forever This is what we mean by
"distinct organization" and the Enquirer can
not fail to understand us. We must be purg-
ed Of the '.foating scum" or we sink to rise
no more. The Enquirer says:
The Madisoniand and his Correspondent of New
York are mistaken. We wish 10 put down the idea
of Third payiy Does that desire indicate any dis
position to Weld and submit TO the in,oerant spirit
of Loco Focoisml 7" We wish 10 put down that spi-

have read with the strictest scrutiny the develop
mens of your creed as ucidly put forth in the 3ith,
35th and some subsequent Nos. Of your paper. Your
correct views Of the position Of parties, have been
strangely misunderstood by certain leading journals
which adhere to Conservative principles, but not with
that uncompromisng and determined 6rmness and
sacred zeal which genuine resistance to the Dcaruc
tire doctrines in vigorous commotion demands :
those leading journals which seem to have misunder
stood your views, had re-published the leading and
short editorial in your paper Of the 2i:h of Novem-
Der, they would Justly have placed yon in their CO
lumns as you have placed yourself in your own CO
lumns, before the public. In fact this they might
Justly have done by re-publishing single sentence
extracted from that editorial That sentence reads
thus: "They, Qhe " Conservatves,") may, for a
season. stand in the minority, between those who op
pose their principles, and those who constitute the
great opposition party of the country but whenever
the divided ranks of the old Republicans shall be re-
organized il will be upon Conservative principles
the primitive principles Of The party" And such, |
understand TO be the manifest meaning of the con-
tnuous disclosures Of your views respecting the po
sition of parties. That is, il the split in the late ad
ministration party shall ever be healed the reunion
