Davis, and the locos, Marcus Morton. If we mis-.
take not the Wings arc waking up to some exeu,
and will turn out more generally than have their
brethren in other States, and maintain their asceO
dency In the ancient Commonwealth, although by
secret organization and long drilling their oppol
nents will get out their full force We are not vel
prepared TO believe that the Wings of AassachuI
sets will stay at home as have done the Wings d
some other States, and by so doing elect ocofOcS
officers
Election in New York. yesterday, to-day and ,Ol
morrow. We apprehend, that from the apathy and
division of the Wings the ocos will carry the legl
isla'ure A third party is there organized for lhs
sole purpose OF de feating the Wings, and il sue
cessful it will be the means of putting into oiu
such men as Anterior of NJ Il.-open advocaHi

From Gouge's Journal of Banking.
Sold and silver.

4 member of CONGRESS. who has mix.
ed much with the noonlc IN one of the
states. gives if ~ his oninion that ono If
the nrincinol obstacles +, b,nl. ror,r,, ;s
the erroneous oplnions entertained nv
many. Of the quantity Of cold and silver
in the workable has requested Ms. and
in fact almost exacted promise from us.
to say something in every number Of our
Journal. which NAV tend 70 erljghten
mems minds on this subject. Since it
is of so much importance, it shall receive
a due degree of attention.
We begin to-day with Mr.. GaIlatin's
estimate of the quantity of cold and silver
in Europe and America. In = work nub.
lished by him in 1881, entitled .Consid-
erations ON the Currency and Ranking
System of the United States he estimates
the amount of the precio,s metals in these
two quarters Of the world At between fonr
thousand and five thousand m;lIio, dol.
lars. This if will be recoIlected. WINS ten
years ago. The amount has since been
considerably increased, as the mines have
annually produced millions and the dc.
mand for the China trade has been greatly
diminished.
Taking the medium. however. or the
two sums stated bv Mr.. GalIa,ip. namely
four thousand five hundred millions
dollars, and supposinr the popula,ion Of
Europe and America TO be two hundred
and seventv-seyen million. il will omount
to sixteen dollars and unwards for eyerv
man, woman and child. on the two con-
tinents. The same gentleman estimates
the whole amount Of currency in thc
United States in 1929. paper and specic
tooether. at only six dollars = head.
But the subject NAV be presented in a
stronger LIGHT. Take MS. man fo, man.
and we are the richest people IN the world,
with the execution of the English. the
Hollanders. and the Belgians. Where
the natural order Of cause and effect is not
