MIX. GALLATIN.-We copy the
following notice of late debate in the
Bank Convention from the N. Y. En-.
quirer:
AIR Gallatin took leading part in the
debate, and os the Globe swesrs by Mr..
Gallatin,w we presume tina; it will pay due
respect to his deliberate opinions ex-
pressed in the Convention. Mr.. Galla>
tin considered National Bank conve-
nient aud necessary for the regulation of
the currency: but was Of opinion that n
return might be made to specie pay
ments without its aid. In effecting this
great object he considered the co-opera-
lion Of the Government desirable, aud
thought it indispensable that it should
let the Banks alone, even il it refused
active cooperation. He considered the
whole course Of the Government in res
lation to the currency to have been
wrong. to make any, distinction betw cen
the currency of the Government and the
currency OF the People. During the
suspension Of specie payments in Eng>
land, the King, and the civil list were
paid in deprecated currency. No ef-
fort was made to secure specie for the
officers of Government. while the ordi-
nary business OF the kingdom was trans.
acted in irredeemabIe paper. The is.
suing OF the specie circular was in his
eyes rank usurpation. The Government
has the same power over the paper cur
rency. as over the coin. and whenever
the currency has been in sound condi>
ton. it has been in consequence of the
exercise OF this power by the Federal
administration. The Sub Treasury Bill,
was all wroug-but that he considered
dead killed by the Connecticut election,
If it had not received its death blow a,
an earlier date. The only Justification
ofthe present issue of Treasury Notes
was to be found in the fact tina, the
present bank circulation was of differ
ent value at different Points-and there
was no such uniform currency es the
Government were bound 10 provide. All
Ibis and much more Of the same tenor
fell from MIR Galatians discussion; and
we commendit to the particular attention
of Mr.. Secretary Woodbury.. and the
cabal Of currency tinkers at the metrop,

SPEED THE PLOUGH.
MAKING BUTTER.

When the last roll of butter is almost
gone the prudent housewife feels the i'm.
Portance ofprocuring as much good but
Ger as possible from the cream that has
been collecting, for week or more per.
haps, from the milk Of one COW, aud thus
she will churn the usual length Of time
with careful management, yet it will
sometimes happen that the butter Gas the
phrase is) will not come, and she may
churn for several hours. and there will
apparently be no change, the particles
Of butter remaining perfectly disuni-
ted.
The writer OF this article has recently
been in q similar dilemma. l feel a
wish to inform my sister butter makers
the means used which successfully re-
moved the difficulty. churned per-
haps three hours TO no purpose, aud then
tried to think of some remedy that had
read in the Indiana Farmer, or some 9th

then thought ofsoda, pearl ash presume
