OF an "erclusioe specie currency" This
is all very right. Men have the liberty
to hold and avow any honest opinion,
but, the following from theGobe shows a
new view of the subject, and one which
we may honestly say surprises US. Hear
it. g" Neither President Jackson, Presi-
dent Van Buren, COL Benton, nor any
other man holding a position to give
weight to his views, as representing
those of the democracy, ever proposed
a currency exclusively metallic" now
we cannot reconcile these two views of
the matter, in our poor brain, and must
therefore leave them, with the express
sion ofan opinion similar to that given
in the New York Republican Commit
tees address. "The legislation of the
general government, has not always been
the most propitious to our welfare"

We are informed by a letter from friend,
living in the vicinity, that the enterprizing cit
izens ofthe, village of Willoughby, in Cuyaho-
ga G ounty, have raised fund of $4OOO,OO
to be used in the construction of harbor at
the mouth Of fChagrinRiver. Itis somewhatsur-
prising that this important project has been SO
long neglected by Government against the re.
peated and untiring efforts of a large popua-
tion, whose petitions, were not opposed by re-
monstrance from any quarter. The determin-
alton Of the citizens of w. to build harbor
at their own expense, when taken in connec-
tion with their other labors, in erecting Uni
versity, and raising fund to construct ca
nal from the village to the mouth of the river
is worthy of all praise. Notwithstanding its
unpretending claims to notice we are a
mong the number, who believe that the
immense water powers afforded by the
Chagrin river, the fine farming country around
the enterprizing inhabitants, and seminary
of learning established there already in
flourishing condition, together with the con-
templated erection Of rail rosa from the
mouth Of the river to Akron, intersecting the
Ohio Railroad, which passes through the viii

development of our resources, the in.
vestigation and application of new inven.

irm that new existence will be given
to this nation, as soon as the "pressure'
ceases, which, for enterprise, activity,
greatness, in every legitimate channel
of improvement may challenge The his
tory of all past times to furnish a par

pressure, more new and feasible ave-
nues of enterprise have been opened,
received more attention from the public
mind, encountered less oppositio from
ncreduiity and ignorance, than ever be-

The usual number of rows, fights, and

There is something radically wrong
in the manner in which we observe the
