SHIN PLAsTBRs. s.---These beautiful little picto.
raj exponents Of that evanescent and much
abused article-money, are exceedingly rife
among US. Pleasant little things are they, and
valuable, as marking new era in the journey
ings of the human individual. This is no lon
ger world of change. The rubicunl land
lord, who gloryeth in the dispensation of the
solids and fluids to those who pergrinate by
land or prepare to 60 down to the sea In ships,
feels no change. He eyes your disbursement
of Wild Cat with an amability of counte-
uance, worthy of the denizen of q travelling
menagerie, and straltway, draweth from the
treasures of his side pocket, things new and
old, bearing upon their faces the impress of q
printers type, with purport of fair promise Of
the dspursemen. of real current funds when
presented to the amount of one dollar" Va
rious are The devices borne by these sucking
experiments. Symbolical of"real estate pledg-
ed,v one containeth house; another, emblc-
matical of speed and bottom, sporteth steam
boat or horse, while third, in honor of the
calling of its issuer displayeth barrel or q
tes chest. Various are the sizes and shapes
and amounts of these little conveniencies; as va
rlous are the means provided for their ultimate
redemption. One promiseth goods to tn
amount of three cents, or Michigan Currency
denominted, in the hesperian phrase, Wild Cat
Valuable are such promises, and significant
confidence--in the is suer, ifnot in the taker o
the currency. But, let them pass, and have
their brief day out, for the time is coming, wher
through the REGULATIONS of the silken netting
the yellow gold will shine out, and the broad
current of silver shall pour up the channel Q
the Mississippi. Thus saith the Government
and shall we gainsay the prophecya

PuFFINs, PUFrRRY, EDIToRs busi-
ness, that putting, when proper understanding
exists between the pufer and the puffee. And
where is that unity offeeling so well understood
as in the Commercial metropolis? The New
York Evening Post puffs "Champigne, VanBu-
rem brand" Smooth and oily (so discourseth
the Editor) is that article, melting IN the lips,
like the kiss Of beauty, and painting visions on
the brain, beautiful as the glow of an Italian
sunset. The, Courier and Enquirer telleth
of hats. Short is the nap and shining the sur
face of those hats. How jaunty and peculiar
how light and pleasant Now, the secret Of
all this is, the Post puffed to the inspiration Of
full basket of the favored article, and the
Courier wears upon his head the shortest nap
ped mole-skin hat in the city of Gotham. No
wonder the Now York Editors were in ecsta-
cics at the advent ofthe Atlantic Steam Ships;
no wonder they pufftd them, when we recollcct
that several of their number have already taken
passage by them to England. Favored pas
sengers are they, and no summons to "walk to
the KaptingS orifce and settle" will ever dis
turb their gravity or discompose the folds Of
their we'll filled pocket books. And what has
given the famous Sandy Welch his extensive
celebrity? Not his far famed dinners, not his
turtles nor his terapns, his wild fowl nor his
pickerel. 1t is the dispensation of his edlbles
to the tribe editorial that has done his business.
Now, with us, as in France, "they do things
differently" An Editor is expected to puff,
till his explosions are emulous of those of q
steam power working under a pressure OF So
venty pounds to the inch. His "erhausf
must be continually in operation, and he must
ego it" with "full throttle" though his "feed
pipe" be empty and his pond run out. Does
he recreate himself with trip by water, the
disbursement Of his surplus revenues are eqna
to those of men without heads" His hats
his boots, his clothes cost him money. No
whisklngs of the goosequl, no sweet moroccan
of poetical prose, no labored flourish of trum-
pets tells, with him. When free gratis, fol
nothing, they are highly agreeable, but, let
them cost money, and Wild Cat is more val
liable. This ought not soto be. Your Editor,
Is the finest fellow in the world, it he is only
properly cultivated. His heart Is even too big
for his body, and nothing but kindness is neces-
sary to it's full development. Pinch him with
poverty, and like dancing bear, he may frolic
and grimmace, but like that animal, it is only
because he stands upon hot plate, and his
gambols are the distortion ofpain, and not the
evidences Of pleasure. On the other hand,
cherish him, and like the grapes of rich soil
and clime,he is mellow and racy to your utmost
desire. tits then that his thoughts flow, his
wit sparkles, and the inspiration is upon him.
Then he is able to do justice to his SUBJECT, and
to bring the forces of his mind to bear upon
his theme. Men and brethren, think Of these
things.

STATE SPEcULATIoN.-The State of Ohio
is speculatjng in exchanges. The money
loaned on the credit of the State, in N. York,
is finding its way slowly from the cities of the
sea-board, making profit upon every trans
fer, and adding to tho aggregate, to the tune Of
$75, 200. The following is from the Lancas-
ter Gazette:
"We learn that the Fund Commissioners
of Ohio, contracted on the goth ult. with
Messrs. Prime, Ward & King, Of the city OF
New York, for State loan of 100000, at q
premium of SIX dollars on each 500 of the
stock sold, making an aggregate premium Of
$4,000. The Commissioners transferred $780,
900 of this loan 10 the city of Philadelphia,
and realised thereon premium of $15,000.--
The premium received on the transfer of the
entire loan to Ohio, through the local banks Of
this State, amounts to upwards Of 100000.
The aggregate premium received by the state
will come within fraction of $75,0oO."
Now, this is all very fine, and proves our Of
fcers to be thrifty, saving, penny-catching
set of men, but we have no hesitation in saying
that the poor contractors on the route of our
Canal, would have been glad to have paid the
State the profit which will be made on the
money to be expended here, could they have
had their pay as soon as it was due, or even
within reasonable time after the loan was
made. Such speculation would have been
dishonest in an individual, and it strikes 10 as
rather small in sovereign state.

Banks Of aid in the resumption Of specie pay
ments, it is now rendered absolutely certain
that the feelings, and the favorite policy fthe
Administration is antagonistical to their inter-
ests. The specie circular--the fayorite meas
ure of General Jackson, remains unrescinded,
and will be so, unless 1t can be used as screw
to force into existence the great Treasury
Banking scheme, which is, and always has
been the ultimatun, of the PREDECESSOR and
the SUCCESSOR. All attempts on the part Of
theWhig members of Congress to legislate for
the relief of the country, are straDgled in their
birth, as silently as possible, while pensioned
press is taxing its utmost energies to throw
upon them all the odium that arises from this
ruinous state of affairs. The committee Of
Finance is the tomb in which the labors Of the
Wings are buried, while the Committee Of
Ways and Means is the cauldron in which the
hubble bubble of Loco Foco Democracy is
boiled down, until it's contents are supposed to
be strong and good for the health of the dear
people. One thing, however, is certain; the
dose nauseates, but it does not cure, it fills but
cannot satisfy, and there is a general casting
up of accounts, and settlement, which i'll ere
long terminate disastrously to the tinkering
quacks who composed the sickening compound.
