THE CURRENCY BILL.

This admirable document may be found on our
first page. Its structure and order, the "conduct
Of the story and the proportion of its parts," are
most assuredy entitled to high commentator, for
we have never seen q plot more JelicitouS in its
conception, or carried on with more natural and
satisfactory DEVELOPMENT 1t is simple to fault
with no pcrplexng nvolutions, no exhibit of start
ling discoveries, trick of unexpected surprises
"no cutting Of knots by an extravagant device for
the purpose of getting over a previous extrava-
-gance;" but moves on in dignifed order, one
principle following another uithout confusion, all
tending to anfold the characters Of the actors thus
promoting the progress of party which, however
invulncrablo in Missouri at present, must end
its career in natural and satisfying close. The
author (Col. Ben,on) must be admired for his origi
nality for in this affair it is clear that he has fol-
lowed in the footsteps of no predecessor. We are
inclined TO praise him for adopting a manner Of
his own, lettering himself by no model, inventing
new theories, and executing them in neW way.
Weare now on the border line between the old and
the new era, and although we dislike revolution
b We will arouse our courage and stand the shock
with the pleasing prospect Of enjoying ''the new
feeling of the new age" The New Era, in speak
ing of it says: This measure has the assent o.
Gov. Reynolds. 1t has been proposed by leading
member of the dominant party in the House o
Representatives. TIE Senate embraces ma jority
Of the same political faith. Il is strictly party
measure, and if passed. all the good which may
be derived from it, will enure to the Loco FocC
party. We are willing so TO regard it. 1t is oui
deliberate judgment, then, that the Wing party
should DO nothing more than to give silent vote
upon the bill. No sautary amendment can be en-
grated upon it. The Wings have protested
against the passage Of any such law. They have
warned the people of the evils which are to flow
from ii; and having done SO, its advocates ough
to be permitted to pass the bill after their own fash
ion. This, we know, is the opinion Of member
of the Legislature, and we trust they will not ofe
any opposition whatever to it except in givn
their votes. Let it be understood that the paternity
the passage and all the fruits Of the measure, be
long to the Loco Foco party.

HIGH HANDED COND UCT or THE VA
buren, FACTION IN GEORGIA.

The factious adherents of Mr.. Van Buren, in
Georgia are making the most desperate exertions
to defeat the clearly expressed wishes Of the people
of that State in regard to the choice of United
States Senator Mr.. Lumpkin's Term expires OIL
the 4th of March next: and it is Of the utmost i'm
porance to the nation at large, as we'll as 10 the
State of Georgia, that she should have full rep
resent.tion IN the y. States Senate immediately on
the accession of Gen, Harrison to the Presidency
In both branches of her Legislature there are ma
iorites decidedly opposed to the men and measures
Of the Administration, but owing TO sickness, and
other causes, some of the Harrison members of the
State Senate were absent for few days, and the
Van Buren, partizuns in that body found themselves
temporarily in the majority. They instantly took
advantage of this interval Of power to attempt ta-
gravity TO cUntravene the known will of thepeople.
A solution which had been submitted by the Hon.
s. Calhoun, of Muscogee, TO bring on the election
of United States Senator, came up for cODSidera-
ton. One of the discounted Van Buren, factions
moved to lay it on the table for the remainder OF
the session. The Harrison Senators m1nstrate d
against this proposition. They insisted that the
Legislature had been chsSen oth direct reference "a
election of Senaior to CongreSS-that the con-
stitution itself required the seat now occupied by
Mr.. Lumpkin to be filed after the expiration of hi,
term-and that if the motion prevailed the will o.
the majority Of the people would be thwarted by thu
arbitrary act of minority of the State Senator's

lNFANIY.

It becomes our duty the conductors of a free
press. 10 notice the most infamous proceeding that
stands connected with Missouri Legislation. Our
readers are aware that an attempt has been made
by certain parlizans in the Legislature to create
the impression that Gen. Harrison was elected to
the Presidency through the influence OF foreign
capitalists! To prore that such was the case, al!
that seems to have been considered necessary was
TO pass resolutions that such the fact In fur
the-ence thereof, Mr.. Speaker Price introduced a
Get of resolutions Which not only impugn Ameri-
can character, American intelligence, Amer lean
virtue, and American patriotism, but must go fer
TO disgrace him and his co-laborers, in the estima.
ton of all honorable men. Mr. Prices resolutions
being before the House, Mr. Coalter, of ST. Charles
asked to strike out all after the word "ReSored, y
in Mr.. 2. IS first resolution, and insert the following:
600 Resolred, 1st, That the recent election of Pre-.
sident OF the United States, which has Just termin.
ated in the election Of Gen. VIM. II. Harrison, Of
Ohio was not made in London, as has been stated
on this floor, but was the free and voluntary act
OF the American people, uncontrolled by any for
egn influence.
I'd. That the statement o. insnuaon that the
American people can be controlled or directed in
the manner Of bestowing their votes for any office
within their gift, by any other than the most hon
est motives is highly derogatory to their character
as freemen, and deserves the apprehension OF eve
ny honorable mind.
i Sd. That this is peculiarly the ease as it apple:
10 the election OF the highest executive officer in
the nation, and that any statement or insinu
a,;on that the people have been influenced in sac
election by the gold Of England is to attribute Il
them the most sordid motives, as highly insulting
10 them os ireemen and must spring from minc
which is lost to all sense of respect for the will 0
the people.
4th. That all such statements or insnuaton:
are dcrogatory 10 the character of Republican Go
yerpmcnts, and disclose the opinion in those wit
utter them, that the people are incapable of self
government, and deserve the apprehension of thI
