The rapidi,y, by the way, is that Of light; the
keepest eye can perceive ne interval between
the fall of the lever at one~end, and that Of
the,brass. pen at the other -ry.-
1t is proper to say that the dictionaries US
ed are the common octavos of Walker, and
contain multtudes of words which would
never be required. Professor Morse said that
he entertained no doubt Of being able to re-
duce the number of words to 10000, or per-
haps to 10000. Our own opinion is that a
much smaller number could be made suffic-
lent.
We understand that Professor Morse goes
to Washington Immediately, with his appara-
tins, where it will doubtless attract much
wondering attention.

create serious alarm and just apprchension,ln

would be violation Of good faith towards
the inhabitants Of any such Territory who

The value of the Real and Personal eitate
Of this State is, by official returns, set OWN
at six hundred and twenty two millions. As
it is well known the assessors estimate rop-
erty at onc-third or one half its real v,lue,
we may fairly put the property of the State
at least at double, which would be tselve
hundred and forty-four millions Of dolrs.-
Now the whole amount of specie in d the
Banks is little over three millions, an it is
well understood that New York hash fair
portion. Thus we have about quartc Of a
cent, or two and half mills in specie b the
dollar in real estate. We have thoght a
better illustration of the hardmoney ddtrne
could not be given than this. If weldopt
the real specie currency doctrines, d this
immense value of property would be rtlted
down to so small an item that it would tt be
hardly worth computing. Carry out tn new
light doctrine to its extent, and the conItion
Of things would be, that farm estimald at
five thousand would be equal to ten dlars
in specie. Many a man who now con slers
himself possessed Of handsome fohne,
would not pay n cent on hundred dollts.-
A bushel Of wheat that has sold at IDOL
lars would not bring two cents and th me-
chanic that now gets two dollars wo4 be
well paid ot two cents day, rate wi h is
us high as is now pail in many parts Of Ida.
The hard money doctrine does well cHugh
to talk about, but before the people ofbis
country will consent to adopt il there WI be
a revolution more serious than any poIbcal
change that hos yet taken pace.-tA y.
