! the adoption Of a measure which will give
considerable relief in our present situa-
ton
We take the above from the Pontotoc
Intelligencer, la Van Buren, paperl under
date of July 81. For ourself, we hope
and trust in God that the people of Mis-
sissIppi VIII have nothing to do with this
species of "New Currency" What
has ii come to that? Are we again 20 be
flooded with acorthleSS Shin-PlaSters-is-
sued on the faith of the credit of the
State, when the State has no. credit and
that by a party who have been so long,
and violently, preaching against rags and
deprecated currency. What are we
to think Of such men 2-antin what light
do they view themselves We know the
ground of justification for this measure
that the State is in debt, and has not the
wherew'thal 10 discharge that debt, in
consequence of having collected the pub
lie revenues in bank paper, which has be-
come uncurrent and valueless-but this is
no Just reason. If the State is in debt
and wants money, borrow it-or raise it
by taxation, and then the people will see
and understand the thing; but this is
suing-advancing upon the credit of the
State, will not answer; ii is dangerous,
nay, damnable expedient, and the people
will find it so. But this is the Sub Treasu-
~ principle-the way in which the Gen
eral Government IS to supply currency
and make money plenty. That odious
measure having passed Congress, it may
soon be expected that the country viii be
flooded with Government issues, which
in the course Of time, will depreciate and
become as cOrthleSs as was the " old Con-
tinental money!" 1t is for the PEG.
pie to put their faces against it in time
against every shoot and scion and by
steadfast perseverance, triumph over the
hosts of Government Bankers and swind

infest the country from one extremity o
the Union to the other.
For our part, though needy, we scorr

DO NOT TOUCH THEM
A New CURRENcY.-We are pleased
to learn direct from Jackson that the Au-
ditor of Public Accounts is issuing his
warrants to the creditors of the State in
small sums of ives, tens, twentys, and up
wards, so as to allow them TO enter into
circulation as currency. The warrants
are printed on fine thin paper, and endors-
ed upon their face, receiUable for all dues
to The State.
This species of paper currency, IN the
present Frustrated condition of the Banks
will be found very useful and convenient
TO the people. In the collection of debts
to those who wish to keep it on hand
there is no evidences of debt more safe
because it is certl in to be redeemed ultl
