MY DEAR Sin | have this momen. read the report
Of the Director Of the Mint, and The three branch
pets. The old Mint is necessary and important
Government appendage, but the three tlle pels are
all for effect" mere ramfcalions Of the GREAT
HuaBuG, which our miserable modern Loco-foco
school have TuMBLED into being, and which must
TUMBLE the great hnmbuggers out Of political being
have ever believed and still believe, that The old
Mint could coin all the araLabL bullion OF The Go
vernment, and Of individuals too; and al less than
oneha the cost that the bran. hes located quite be-
yond all coming facilities can possibly do H. Rely
upon Il, my dear sir these pets are mere eolriers-
kind OF common crier 10 give nooriely, and TO
buy up public opinion in favor Of the great GOLDEN
CALF which our political IRIS had set up
and these GOLDEN BRANCHES were put forth 10 fater
the people, that we should all presently wsowing
in god-goId-gold You know, sir, that am an old
fashioned plain, blunt man-write what think, de-
string no man to think with Inc, when am wrong
! have read the Globes synopsis of Mr.. virgins
BILL for the security Of the public money" but
don't find The METALLIC POINT in il. marvel that he
has left out the DESTRUCTIVE METAL DAGGER, as DE-
srRUcTIoN is the very genius Of modern Loco-focos
find no vaults, guards, nor sceplered Princes to
preside over the golden massy heaps. How is thisl
Is Loco focoism dying in the Senate, as among the
people
Well, am an advocate for security and safe-keeP-
lag. Heaven knows, and The people begin 10 know,
that We have had waste and plumber enough-let us
have all the security that Law can give-but you
may tell Mir, Wrgh, and all his clan thai srArUTo-
SECURITY for the public money, is akin to LOCK
SECURITY on leather mailbag in the custody Of The
robber First purify your appointing power, and
then you may add your statutory security benefci-
ally.
Apropos: How does Mr.. Benton bear the five
months secret concnbinage OF Mr.. Van Buren, with
the divorced monster :
Our eighteen Van Buren, State Senators, aided
and encouraged by few OLD FEEDER .LIsTs mingled
unfortunately among the Wings ia Albany, Just
enough to do mischief have become imbued with
that kind of longing after immortality" which the
world awarded to "the immortal seventeen" some
years ago. 1t is generally believed they mean TO
defy the will of the people, as lately expressed by
1872 ss2 Of the electors and defy the will OF the ire
mendous majority of the Legislature on joint ballot
Well, would not pray for EVIL, tina, GOOD might
come of it; but, should the EGHEEEs pursne the ap-
pretended course, will guarantee the utter annihl-
lation Of Van BureLism within the Empire Stale the
next election.
1t is we'll known, however, that the less rabd
portion OF "the party" are laboring in season and
out of season" with the more rabid, to dissuade
them from covering themselves with this Van BIZ
rem glory am still of opinion they will come to a
better mind, and not only confirm the Governors
reasonable nominations, but go into joint ballot and
appoint the State officers and United States sena-
tor. You win have seen, the nominations are all
made, and all good.
The money and business prospects are excellent
perhaps, too buoyan,. may notice these matters in
some detail.
