THE EXAMPLE OF ENGLAND.
CONTINUED.

1t is true that England has restless agita-
tors, reckless radicals and ignorant political
economists, that do not materially vary from
the same description of persons Of this coun-
try, and who are striving to unhinge society,
to break down the stable monuments of her
greatness, and by empiricism, and impudence,
disease and impoverish all the sources of her
power and happiness, as the same classes are
striving to do in the United States. But Eng
land is in no danger from such assaults. She
loves her institutions, she knows the founda-
ton upon which they rest; she knows the
time honored sources from which she has de-
rived wealth, and power, and happiness
Her statesmen are profoundly schooed in the
difficult science Of political economy, and have
adapted its wisest researches to the condition
of her people and the peculiar character of
her Institutions. She has the chart of ages
before her which has guided her onward in
safety through all her trials of peace and war,
prosperity and adversely; and no "untried
expedients" can shake her allegiance or divert
her from her ancient and settled policy.
Most happy would it be for our country, if
we would turn with alacrity from the destruc-
tive heresies hat have crept upon our poll
cy through the mysterious influence Of agta-
tors, relormers, dcmagogues and infaels, and
to fall back once more on the old pathways
that we travelled in our better and happier days.
They led US to all that we have attained, and
more glorious destiny never blessed a nation,
until the destroyer came with "experiments"
and "untried expedients." We then withered
at his approach, and sunk dishonored in his
embrace.
We invoke the controlling power Of our
country--the people-to shake off this incu~
bus, and let us once more rise up with health
and resolution, and then with old friends and
old customs, we shall pursue our course with
the march of nations, and again take our posi-
ton among the first in all things that make
people great and happy.
Among her most able modern writer's on
political economy, such as Torrens, Palmer,
Lloyd, Ricardo, and McCuoch whilst they
differ as to the best mode Of improving the
currency of the country, there is not one that
pretends to doubt the great benefits Of the
credit system--they are for sustaining it, and
wish only to correct its abuses. They con-

PRESENTATION OF THE MEDAL
AWARDED BY CONGRESS TO
CEN RVDU.Ey

On yesterday week, the PRESIDENT pre-
scented the gold medal awarded to Gen. RIP
LEY by the resolution of Congress Of 1914,
through his colleague, Gov. JOHNSON Gen.
Ripley being still confined TO his plantation in
Louisiana by the illness under which he has
long and severely suffered.
The medal has been withheld this length Of
time, probably, on account of the Generals
distance from the Capitol, and his harrassing
difficulties in settling his accounts with the 60
vernment which were contested in the U. 5.
Court at New Orleans, for period of nearly
twenty years. 1t will, no doubt, be not the
less gratifying to him, to receive, although at
this late period, so distinguished a token of
public appreciation and gratitude. The medal
is designed to commemorate the scenes of
Chippewa, Niagara, and Erie, in which he
bore distinguished and triumphant part. The
die is well sunk in gold, presenting on one
side an excellent likeness of the General. and
on the other fair form of the goddess of Lib
erty, standing by the side of an olive, from
which depends shield inscribed with the
names and dates of the battles designed to be
commemorated. The battle Of Niagara,
Drummond's Hill, Lundy's Lane, as tits vari-
ously termed, is remembered as one Of the Sc
verest contests Of the late war; The battle
was fought upon Gen. Rpley's own response
bility, he having overtaken the enemy in their
retreat from Chippewa, and closed in with
them in the thickest darkness. No man ever
exhibited truer courage than Ripley manifest
cd on that occasion. He led his columns so
near to the enemy that he saw the buttons oil
their soldiers at every fash Of their pieces. lie
received ball through his hat, three through
other parts Of his dress, and two horses were
killed under him. The final result is we'll
known-the enemy were routed, and the Ge-
neraPs troops took sixty pieces of cannon. II
is worthy Of remark, since N. England is much
abused for her course during the war, that those
States had 5000 troops upon the frontier at

CONSISTENCY OF THE GLOBE.
The Globe of Tuesday night, says,

A friend writes us thus:
Who could suppose individuals, in the existing
state OF the currency, produced exclusively by the
expansion of the circulation of the banks for their
own profit, would have the hardwood to assert that
the public money should again be placed in the
banks for purposes OF speculation when within the
short period of ten months they have not only VIC
lated their solemn contracts with the Government,
but diScredited all their obligations to the communi-
y? The example Of the restoration of commercial
confidence in England is even urged by the advo
Gates of the banks evidence of the hostility of the
Government of the United States TO the mercantile
interest while every of the slightest reflection
must perceive that it is the continuance of the
pension Of the banks for their own profit which has
overthrown all safety and security in commercial
transactions, and that the honest course pursued in
England has produced the contrary result"
Now, as appears by this article, in England
every thing has been conducted honestly, and
every thing dishonesty here. Hence, argues
the writer ofthc above, arises the state pros
perity now enjoyed in the former; and that of
adversely still experienced in the latter
Where can be the patriotism, love Of country
and its institutions, with him who could write
such SANDER on both, as well as him who
could publish it .-..
What was the language Of the official organ
touching the same subject but few months
since! No longer ago than April last, it said,
+" Tempted by cupidity, the Bank Of England,
as well as the Bank of the United States, has
again and again ertended its issues until HE
Government aid tcas essential 10 sare IL from
irrcparabie bankruptcy. This is THE CASE
AT PRESENT" Does the Globe mean now to
say "the honest course pursued in England"
was the "Government aid' to the Bank of
England, which it declared il was lending in
April last TO the Bank, which has led to the
"contrary resulf' from what has been expert
enced in this country? II il does, then, ac
cording to its own logic, our Government has
acted dishonesty in Withholding its aid from
our Banks.
But TO the honesty Of the Bank of England
towards this country according to the Globe
of June last. Ii then declared /" TINS couN-
TRY HAS BEEN DEGRADED AND PUT UNDER
THE rooT OF THE BANK OF ENGLAND"
This, the Globe now dignfes with the title of
the honest course pursued in England "

upon abroad

NEW HAMPSHIRE ELECTION.

The returns are yet imperfect. Isaac Hill
is reelected by about 500 to 1000 majority.
The Senate is considered doubtful, and it is
believed that the Wings have elected majo-
rity of the House Of Representatives. The
vote as compared with Mr.. Hills majority, ut
his preceding election, exhibits change
against him Of about t,centy thousand, he hav-
inc been elected before almost without oppo-
sition. The change since the last Presiden-
tial election, is believed TO be about eieren
thousand in favor Of the Wings. ...

MISSISSIPPI. CONSERVATIVE!

However her Senators in Congress may
vote, we have indubitable evidence before us
that Mississippi regards the interests of her
citizens as paramount to her obligations to
federal dictation, and that she nobly takes her
stand in resistance to the schemes Of the Lo-
co foco destruciives. This is as il should be
with that intelligent State, and as IL mil be
with every State in the Union, without any
exception. We find the following in the Gin
cinnati Republican Of the l4th inst.
Loco-FocoIsM MissIssIPPs-A bill to release
the banks Of Mississippi from damages on protested
paper passed the Legislature OF the Stale recently,
and was veoed BY Governor McNutt Both Houses
were very much ncensed at the Governor and came
to determination not 10 sustain him in his course.
In the House the veto was nullifed by vote Of 81
yeas and 8 nays. On the vote being declared the
Legislative Hall rang with the most deafening man
iiestaons of Joy. In the Senate, the veto was re-
jected by vote Of 10 10 B."

PROCEEDINGS IN THE SENATE.

Yesterday Mr.. Southland concluded his re-
marks against the Sub-treasury, when the
question on the Substitute, presented by Mr..
Rives, came up, on which vote was taken,
which was 30 against, % in faror; Messrs.
Buchanan and Grundy, both instructed to vote
against the bill itself, voting against the amend
ment, as well as Messrs. Cuthbert and Nor
ris; both Of whom are said to be opposed to
the bill, as now before the Senate the former
because it goes too far, and the latter because
it does not go far enough. As il now stands,
there would thus, in all probability, be . tie.
After the question on the amendment Of Mr.
Rives was taken, Mr.. Cuthbert, with a few
predatory remarks, in which he repudiated the
proposition, that the Government should be
furnished with different currency from that
which the people employed in their transac-
tons, moved to strike out the 23d section,
known as Mr., Calhoun's amendment to the
bill of the extra session; which provides that
certain portions of the revenue shall be col
lected in vaults Of specie-paying banks, which
shall periodically be reduced, until the whole
must be collected In specie.
Upon the motion of Mr.. Calhoun, who ex-
pressed wish to defend his amendment the
Senate adjourned.
The effect Of the adoption of the motion of
Mr.. Cuthbert would be, to leave the resolution
Of the 30th of April, 1916, in full force. In
that, however, there is not any thing impera-
tire as to the receipt of Bank notes, the whole
character of it, is merely permissible. The
specie order was issued under its operations,
and might, by the Executive, be continued and
even extended so as to include the revenues
from imposts as well as receipts from Public
Lands, or the notes of specie-Paying banks
might be received, located in the immediate
vicinity of the places where the payments are
to be made by the Collectors and Receivers,
and the specie drawn for the same immediate
ly thereafter for the same. This would have
to be done, or the Sub-Treasurers would be
compelled to make payments to public credit
ors in bank notes. This. we apprehend, few,
ifany, will give their assent to.
We admonish our friends and those who
are opposed to the scheme to be on their
guard.
What the fate Of the bill will finally be in
the Senate we cannot foretell, as the present
amendment offered by Mr.. Cuthber, must
operate to alter some votes. Mr.. Trotter, Of
Mississippi, having committed himself to his
constituents against an entire specie collec-
ton, and Mr., Walker having been one of the
foremost at the last session to condemn the
specie circular Of this, however. we can
assure our friends, let the fate of the Sub
Treasury scheme be what it may in the Sc
nate, it will never be adopted in the House of
Representatives. And whether things re-
main as they now are, depends on the advo-
Gates of the Sub-Treasury, upon whom, in
that event, must rest the responsibility

HON. JOHN NJ. PATTON.

This gentleman, one Of the abest represen-
tatiyes IN Congress from Virginia, has been
elected, by the Legislature Of his State,
member Of the Executive Council. The
compliment is most appropriately conferred.
We shall only regret il, if the appointment
should withdraw him from the present Con-
gress. As one Of our contemporaries justly re-
marks
at is Mr. PArToHs peculiar fortune to occupy
just now position as well as "a Standing IN The
House OF Representatives, which, combined with
his talents, and the Legislative experience which Is
the fruit Of long service render him one OF the most
valuable members of the House, and place IL in his
power TO be OF eminent service in It's deliberations
In rising to nominate Mr.. Patton for the
Council, Mr.. Crutchfeld passed the following
just encomium upon his talents and charac-
ter:
"ll was not necessary for him, (Mr. Crutchfeld)
TO say word concerning the qualifications of Mr..
Patton, but as there might be some members to whom
they were not known he would say that he did not
think the State of Virginia had his superior. He
was a man of talents and Of high qualifications as
gentleman; distinguished at the bar for laborous,
assiduous and attentive industry in all that he un-
dertook In comforting upon him this appointment
the hlgneSt Denenl would De conferred upon the
Commonwealth, bysecuring the services OF one who
was in situation 10 benefit the country, and secur-
ing at the bar Of this city the talents of gentleman
who, at his age babe fair not to be surpassed
Though this may seem very fattering eu-
logium to the man and the statesman, yet
without fiattery, we could bestow one upon
him, in fewer words. much higher, nor less
appropriate, nor less justly deserved-namely,
that he has preferred his country 10 his party
"a preference, which in these times, requires
the highest moral courage to avow.
