PRACTICAL CONSIDERATIONS.

lean people submit It's acknowledged
on all hands that an inferior paper cur
rency keeps US in subordination to
Great Britain, and that this demonstra-
bic fact is the source of all our diff
cu,ies. The first impulse of every re-
publican mind is to excaim "Let US be
freep and this can easily be realized by
the elevation ofour currency.
The first thing we want is means
Of securing a certain amount Of real
money in The country, as basis not on~
ly of credit. bat also of ordinary trade.
The best mode that could be devised by
the wisdom Of man for the accomplish>
ment Of this purpose, is the collection
and disbursement Of the entire revenues
Of the country iu the coin of the res
public. This may not amount to more
than twenty or thirty millions year,
but the effect upon our foreign exchan-
ges would be such as to cause at least
a hundred and twenty millions Of fspe>
Gle 10 be constantly circulating among
US. Yn short we should have as much
of the constitutional currency of the
conntry as we could possibly require.
This is the great question before the
country, and the people begin to
perceive how beneficial it's effects must
necessarily be upon all the producing
classes. There is now scarcely di-
vision of opinion upon this matter, a.
mong thinking people, whatevever may
be their politics. The 'Whigs' are fall
ling into it every day, aud 1t is almost
a settled question.

any difficulties 10 exist among ourselves
upon this question All shades Of diff
ference, all personal prejudlces ought 10
merge into the grand consideration,
shall we defeat the common snemy?
Every democrat worthy of the name
will answer, Yes p and we ought GER
tainly to bury all these paItry though,
perhaps, honest differences of opinion,
and 90 unanimously for the persons
who may be nominated, according io
party regulations, and in accordance
with party mechanism for the Legislation
of the State. After much careful inqui-

these rules Of party are good and sound;
the best that can be proposed for the
achievement Of great and good princi;
pies. Through our primary meetings
we have placed the whole matter in the
hands ofthe people, and upon their de-
cison we ought TO spontaneously re,
