The Morning Chronicle states that Ethe
Bank of England was actively engaged IN
shipping bullion to the u. States. BY the
London line packet ship Philadelphia,
which left Portsmouth on the 2lst, for
New York, the Bank reunited to their
agent, Mr.. Cowell, rather above E170,-
900 in gold, and the ship haa also onboard
specie on private merchants accounts to
the amount Of between ESQ, 900 and ESQ.,
600.
The New York papers do not inforrnus
how much specie was brought over by the
packet ofthe Oath but it was understood in
London that the amount would be large,
and that should the exchanges continue
at New York the exports would be to the

Our readers will have observed that the

mated in the House of Representatives,
has also passed the Senate; and it may
be acceptable to such Of them as are. Gre
ditors of the Government to have the be-
neft of our opinion, that, in all human
probability, the bill win become q law
The PRESIDENT, entertaining in common
with all who profess the Democratic"
faith, an orthodox horror of what the par
W denominate ''rag money!" feels, OF
course, an exceeding repugnance to such
an immense creation of mere credit-paper
as substitute for money. But, it is be.
lleved, out of the very great respect which
following in the footsteps of his prede
cessor, he entertains for the clearly ex
pressed opinion of the peoples Repre-
sentatives in favor of any measure, the
President will not impose his veto up or
the bill though not money, it is believed
that the public creditor can convert it into
money Of some sort, if not "the hare
stuff" as a certain honorable Senator
terms the current coin.

which the Administration deems unworth

PROPOSALS.
FOR PUBLISHING IN THE
TOWN OF LEXINGTON
A WEEKLY PAPER TO
BE CALLED THE
BeXiEngt0M Union.

BELIEVING that the publication
of weekly newspaper in our town would
add TO its importance abroad, and be OF
great interest to the Citizens of this
por. On of the state as vehicle OF gen.
eral intelligence, and induced by the So
licitation of friends, aside from political
prediction, we have determined TO enter
upon the task; aware at the same time OF
our inability, but confident that we will
he sustained in our effort by an enlighten-
ed and generous community.
The Lexington Union will sustain the
old Republican doctrines of the Jeflerso
MAN school, convinced that a strict obser-
vance Of these principles will effect the
greatest good for the greatest number, the
end and aim Of all good government. In
our support however of the Democracy OF
the union, we shall sednousIy avoid all
party asperity or political vlrulence, yet
though fully, firmly adhere to the Admin
sration of the general government, as
being the instrument to protect and adj
vance those true republican measures
which we advocate, and which will ensure
the end intended by the trainers of our
federal Charter.
As the Lexington Union will be gov
erncd bv that amendment to the Cousltu-
ton of the Uuited States, whirh says that
all powers not delegated to Congress are
reserved to the states respectively" it
must oppose all and every law which finds
its origin in forced or implied construc-
tons, and will ever be found on the side
of Democracy battling against usurpa-
lion from whatever source it may come,
all Authoritarian constructions of the
Constitution of the Unithd States as sub
versive of civil liberty and at war with the
simplicity of our republican Governments,
still its columns shall be at all times open
to all parties, knowing that our political
adversaries are actuated by as true sense
of patriotism and love of country as our
selves, and recognizing among them many
personal friends and we hope future pat
rons the Union.
1t may be necessary to add that we
will support the Independent Treasury as
The Constitutional fiscal agent of the Gov.
eminent, and will oppose creation by con.
gress of any national Bank--yet we have
never, nor has the Democratic party ever
contended for currency purely metallic,
but believe that a well regulated system
of State banks will not only supersede the
necessity of any United States Bank, bu
will preserve free and untrammelled thu
commerce of the South, and divert it from
its present unnatural and illegitimate di
rection.
The first No. of the Lexing ton Unio
will be published on next Saturday tn
18th inst. Il, S. in advance, or So at tn
end OF The year.
