Mr. WISE ON THE CURRENCY QUESTION:

Mn. WISE ON THE CURRENCY QUESTION
Mr. Wise in his late speech thus ''defnes his
pcsitlonn in regard to the currency question:
above ALL give to the country safe, sound and
uniform currency, and restore confidence between
man and man. and Government and citizen, and your
Golfers will soon be full, and Heavens and the peo-
pies blessings will rest upon your Administration.
AS to the best mode Of giving TO the country n
safe, sound and uniform currency, my opinions are
well known 10 those who know any thing about my
opinions at all. With Mr.. Madison, | believe that
national bank is absolutely necessary, and must, Try

MADRID, Dec. goth, lS40.
A letter addressed to Her Majesty, Queen Chris
tina, by Depu'ation Of the Provinces OF Biscay.
MADAM: The Populations of the three Biscayan
Provinces, Biscay, Gupuzcoa and Alaya, convened
in the invncibe city Of Bboa, on an occasion of the
greatest public interest have believed that their first
duty, before devong themselves to any business what
ever was to raise voice of respect and gratitude TO
your Majesty.
MADAM: People nurtured in tn, school of Liberty
and fortified by the practice Virtue always CRATE
fu and just. Misfortune is for them endeaTing
title, and when, by the inscrutble designs Of Prov
dence il touches character SO elevated and soul SO
elevated that of your Majesty it is consolation to
them TO PROSTATE themselves before the victim they
consider it part OF their worship and religion, to
sympathze with her in her Affections
MADAM The remembrance Of the benefits the Bis
cayans received from you, during your bcnignant
reign the peace you granted them, the kindness with
which you allowed them to return to their former
mode of living under their venerated and cherished
laws, following their simple and patriarchal customs,
under which their fathers happily lived and died
will never be effaced from their hearts.
Thus may Heaven guide The steps of your Majesty
through good path in that strange land, where
Mai soiictuuc ~;ii anxously and sorrowfuy follow
you, and may it bengnly dry uptne ....,
Il 9 remembrance of better days may cause you to

Do not forget us.
Whilst your Majesty, thinks past Illusion Of
the faithful people whom you have bestowed SO
much goodness we, with all the loyal Spanards will
take that the tempest shake not the tabernacle
where dwell the two august and innocent pledges
which your Majesty has confded TO the loyalty of the
nation and when our lamentable dscords shall be
appeased, and to be hoped the nimitable eerves
cence of certain spirits Gained, we will present them
anew to your Majesty at more favorable epoch that
you may take Of them with the tenderness of a
mother and join the country in rejoicing at their pros

New PLouoH-Tpo Furious at once.--Joseph
Herbert, an ingenious mechanic, at Crosscanon-
by in this county, has lately constructed plough
on a new and improved principle, performing
double the work of common plough, by turning
up two burrows at once. An experiment was
made on the farm Of Mrs. Hodgeson, Allerby
Hail. on the gath of October, and the success of
the new plough surpassed The expectations ofthe
most sanguine. II is a light and easy draught
for three horses; and the builder is now con6den-
that by some trifing alteration in the machinery,
he can render it equally easy for two horses on
most lands, which will be considerable saving
TO the farmer and worthy the attention Of the
promoters of agricultural Improvements Cor

A CLIM

The following paragraph occurs on the last page Of
the published speech of the Hon Jacob Thompson of
mississippi on tie Treasury Note Bill, delivered in
Congress, January 90 1871:
"But, in the spring of 1897 the chord was snapped
and reality bursted upon The delusion which had
enrapt our senses, suddenly vanished. The banks
had strained their credit till public confidence de-
stroyed Con formation seen in every countenaDce
The hope which buoyed up the heart Of the p,rent,
and the bright prospects which delighted the fancy of
families, in a moment were swept away The cup
which had been all sweetness and cxhilaraton, was
now dashed with gall and wormwood. And then il
that the fees of marshal reached the enormous
sum of $S1 900"

THE CONSERVATIVE.

We may safely say that it is TO this noble body Of
men, that the country is indebted for the fortunate
change in the rulers Of the nation which has been
Gently effected Divided parties were, their votes,
would doubtless have turned the scale, in sufficient
number Of States, to have settled the Presidential
question either way. The conservatives, with pat
riosrn and public spirit, which cannot be too highly
praised fearless party denuncation the stigma of
traitors applied TO them by The tools of power,-tbe
Conservatives threw the weight Of their influence

triumphedi
THAT this importan, branch ofthe Harrison party Of
the Union, should be properly represented IN the coun
ellis OF the nation certainly expected by all who
apurrcate their character and services. Failing of
place in the cabinet other important stations it was
believed would he freely rendered deserving
of con fderce As yet however 70 considerable ex.
tent, we have been disappointed They may not per-
ha ps push their claims others do but are they
that account less worthy
We have now in view gentleman emnently
deserving Of and qualified for Of the highest places
OF the naon-one who did more TO insure The triumph
Of Democratic Wing principles, than any other
in the Union Need II he said that we allude to the
Hon. JOHN C. CLARK2 Who was it to whom
the friends of Harrison, in every part Of the country,
looked for counsel and support Who by day and
by night not only during but after the sitting of Con
gress until the election, labored distribute nforna
ton tn roughout the length and br' adih of the land
Who by an immense correspondence, strengthened
the hands and stimulated the efforts of the friends of
Reform in every quarter of the Union : Who origi-
mated and kept up that systematic organization, with
out which the greatest effort must be unavailing !
These questions can be answered but by one name in
the Union--.John c. Ciark,-and to him does all we
have said most silly apply We can speak from per-
sonal knowledge Of his aid TO the friends of Harrison
in this county In every part Of the Union, where
the prospect darkes-there we heard of his abors

We have penned these remarks from sense Of
what is due to Mr. Clark and know that our remai ks
will meet with hearty response in every part OF this
State and the Union. His abors were for the coun-
t.y--nor does he make any claim for services, or so
far as we can learn esk for official patronage Such,
men, however, should be sought out, and rewarded
nor should their own modesty stand in the way Of
their promotion. As body, the Conservatives were

POWER OF ELoQUENCE.

A striking illustration occurred at Mr.. Vanden.
hof's last lecture in New York Mr. w. reading
from scene in Byron's Cain" and picuring the
frightful remorse of the murder when the dreadful
truth of Abels death flashed upon his mind, and in
an agony of soul he summoned around him to witness
the awful deed, his father mother and wife, and with
the thrilling exclarnation-"F Father! mother Ada |
Ziah come hither Death is in the world!!" This
passage was given with energy Of truth fearful
to send thrill Of horror to the very soul and, ac
cording to the Sun, one young man who had been
gazing ntently and kndling 10 aptch o. uncomfortable
excitement, the last clause Death is in the world
was uttered fell senscess to the floor!

be, to let the nation have its own way. The
people are probably satisfied on the point, that
the occasion" is 'extraordinaryn Any how,
the President and his Cabinet have judged it to
be So and that is all the Constitution requires.
who are to be the judges Ii is certainly very
'ex'raordinary" that the Globe should have
entirely overlooked this point, which was the
only one TO be considered, in determining the
constiiutionaily of the call.
Whewp saith the plain man, when over
taken with establishment at some strange con-
duct. "Whewp' say we to the Globe, as to
this matter.
we trust the Globe will excuse us for not en-
countering the drift Of its argument, as it has no
squirting at all towards the material Of the
constitutional question, as it very well knows.

"HoW THE CALLED JADE wINcEs

The Globe OF Thursday has two columns and
more in dolorous remonsuance against the COM
mission to inquire into matters of pnblic con-
Germ at Washinton. against the Circular to
Heads Of Department &c. The most sore
offence is, that il isa libel on the immaculate
purity of the late office-holders. Whoever be-
fore heard that they were not inconupt and in
corruptible Ifhere be such man in the land,
let him come forward, and say it,
The great army Of the people have given
some hints on this point, and would probably be
challenged as jurors, if offered to try the case.
However, it happens, they have anticipated the
challenge and tried the case already in the high
court Of the nation, Brought in verdict, and
the sentence is pronounced.
We would just mint for the comfort of our
friends in this agony, whose perceptions seem
not to be very acute, that there in fact dife
renee between the political action of a man out
OF office and in office-a difference which every
body but themselves sees and appreciates. On
this point, we believe, the people OF this coun.
try have made up their minds, and that they will
SANCTION the doctrine avowed and now being put
in practice by the Government They are not
so stupid as not to see, that if the Government
and their friends wished to strengthen them
selves as partisans, they would follow the exam
pie OF the late dynasty, set all their appointees at
work as partisans, impose contributions upon
them, and prescribe, as the tenure of office, de-
votion to the party. The people will see, that
the present course is disinterested and patriotic,
and calculated to allay party luminosity. There
IS no mistake about its influence.
The present and great affection Of the Globe
IS, that General Harrison's Administration is go
ing TO do just what has been promised, and that
It will be popular on that account. II has made
great effort to show, that the appointment 10
office of those who hare been active partisans,
is the same as to reward office-holders for the
same kind Of service while in Office But this
is no 60 The difference is self-evident, and
needs no argument.
In our fraternal feelings, having been ourself
treated SO generously and kindly, we sympa-
thise deeply with these writings, but we can
not help it. We are convinced that the general
good requires little probing of sores just now,
however sorry we may be for the pain it gives.
AS partisans we are weakened by the operation,
as it subtracts from the efficiency of the domi-
nant party on the emergency of an election
But the good Of the country in the long run is
the end to be acquired by the sacrifice. AS we
are pledged tot, there Is no retreat and we are
willing to be honored by so virtuous and patriotic
principle.
