light Of knowledge in this particular TO all
classes Of our fellow citizens. They are be-
coming, nevertheless, better and better acquaint-
ed, daily, with their rights and interests and
they will not fail in the end to make good their
claims.
The following tabular statement OF the I'M
portation and expectation of specie, during the
last four years, (Which appeared in the Ne'0
York Herald, some time since,) will satisfy
the public that the pretended lack of specie can
no longer furnish the ''suspending" banks with
even a shadow of apology for nonresumptlon.

q PATRIOTISM AND SLANG.

II the opinions expressed in some OF the jour
mails, which come 10 us be taken as an indlca-
ton Of the sentiments OF the people whom they
assume more Immediately to represent, this
country may be thought to be verging on an
epoch in its history, which we had hoped to be
at least still very distant. Notwithstanding the
corruptng Influences which have long been put
in operation to sap the foundations OF integrity
among US, we did not suppose, that already
while so young as nation--we had travelled
so rapidly towards decay that the existence OF
public virtue in public officer should be deem
ed impossible-and professions Of belief in its
! existence should deserve TO be derded as slang
We do not vet believe, that our declension has
been so hurried but we are panied TO read in
the remarks of some Of our contemporaries the
epithet slang applied to the language of others
who believing that virtue is not entirely Danish
ed from our country, have attributed some acts
of our public men to the impulses Of patriotism.
| If purity of motive cannot be found TO actuate
any man,-then indeed are our boosted liberties
in danger-or rather they have in reality perish
ed, leaving only shadow to mock us with the
v hen honesty of purpose is attributed to any
public man, do so merely because he happens
to differ from them in opinion-or to use the
usual phrase, belongs to different political par
ties--the arrogance and absurdity of the sheer
disarm il of all ITS terrors. If am so bold as 10
hold doctrines not in accordance with your OPT
Mons, it is not evident that am wrong and YOU
are right-uness you are so preposterous
as TO claim the prerogatlve of inerrancy.-
But if, on account Of my dissent from princi.
pies, YOU not only condemn me for error in judg-
ment, but for profigacy Of character, YOU are
not only presumptuous, but your assumption is
absurd When denuncations spring from as.
SYMPTOMS so ridiculous, they are not to be
dreaded. They cannot echo the will Of the
people. The people we believe, ''are seldom
wrong in their opinions, and in their sentiments
are never mistaken" But still, as we havt al
ready said, we are panied that even one Ameri-
can can be found who cannot hear any remarks
about patriotism, without losing his patience so
far as TO denominate it slang.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE AND
BOSTON POST

The Boston Post. in an article of much
length on the Presidents Message, says, that
mot only will the proposed national paper cur
rency depreciate, if confined TO the limited sum
fifteen millions, but there is danger of ruinous
depreciation in the provision contemplated for
its increase by Congress
1t is difficult TO see how the currency is to
depreclate, that is based upon "indivdua de-
posts of gold and silver dollar for dollar, and
upon the public moneys" the revenue Of the
country.
The Message thus explains the scheme of
the currency.
