SOMETHING WORTH KNOWING.

The debates of the Convention that formed the
Constitution shows concusively that the trainers Of
this instrument had felt the evils of u paper cur
rency, and thought they had provided barrier to
its increase. There was in the original draft a
clause authorizing congress " to omit bills on the
credit Of the United States Governor Morris
moved to strike out this clause, when the whole
subject of paper money, circulation, Cor it is an
absurdity TO talk of paper money! was discussed.
John Langdon said g he had rather reject the
whole plan and retain the power" Mr. Ellsworth
said L" this was favorable moment 10 shut and
bar The door against paper money" Mr. Wilson,
of Pennsylvania a distinguished member, while
abiding 10 a national paper circulation, said, this
expedlent can never succeed whilst its nlischiefs
are remembered; and as long as il can be resorted
to, it will be har to other resources. Mr. Read
said, " that if not struck out, The words would be
as alarming as the mark of the beast in Revela-
TONS A clause, also, authorsing Congress to
establish corporation, was rejected for this, it
was argued, would include the power 10 establish
National Bank. In 1891, when the first Bank
was charicd, the FEDERALlSTS, influenced by
HAMILTON, although some were members orthe
Convention of l7S7, voted IN FAVOR of a Bank
charter; the DEMOCRATS, headed by MADI-
SON, with the exception Of Gerry, voted A.
GAINST it. And the late Chief Justice Marshall
states, that the debates on the question of charter
ing United States Bank tended more than any
other question Of the day, 10 DIVIDE THE TWO

Most Miserable,

or all the miserable, contemplate, time serving
manmuv,es that are on record in the political his
tory Of the State, the correspondence between four
distinguished individuals of Burlington and Colonel
Paine, which originally appeared in the Burlington
Free Press, takes the lead; goes up to the head.
Col. Paine is determined to be Governor, at all
hazards and if it cannot be done by an honest aud
straightforward course, then suber'uge, cajong
aud doublc-dealing must be called in to aid. AS
ceraning, or fearing the Aboliioniss held the bal
ance of power in the State, and unless some COM
promise could be made with them he could no, be
Governor, the Colonel and his Aids in Burlington,
few days before election, and when they thought
it too late for the Aboionisls 10 bring another
candidate into the field, have managed 10 whcedle
Judge Wilkins off the course, and get up 0arng
correspondence between four regular blue Painiles
protesting to be Abolonists, and the Colonel him
self, which is to set all right, and bring the friends
Of Judge Williams into the support of the Aulocra,
with perfect rush. We have said nothing about
the Abolition question ourselves, but we know it
mas btcli W icuS'dI ~ iSuS'"'
county conventions, that if Judge Williams could
be kept in the field he would draw of u large num-
her of democrats, who are Abo!itionsts; and now
that the friends Of the great Spectator have sue
ceeded in clearing the track Of Judge w. and in
getting mos, flaming Abolition letter from Col.
Paine, these democrats are 10 be brought, over TO
hnl We shall see how that mastery munuuvrc
will be performed.
The objec, of this correspondence is obvious TO
my one. Smile is the choice Of people. Col.
Paine, nominated by intrigue and corruption, is
every day growing more and more obnoxious to the
people. His cause is becoming desperate, and
something must be done 10 save him or he is gone.
As the last resort he is TO be made good Abo-
ions,s and not SO good after all, as his letter will
show, as to drive off from his support portion of
the wings who will have nothing to do with an
Abolitionist. How well he has succeeded in his
mighty labor will be seen from the remarks of the
Foice of Freedom, the organ of the Third Party,
which we give below, following the correspon-
lenre

Sir-It having been settled by general acqui-
escence that the elector has right to the senll-
ments of the candidate for office upon all questions
which are involved in his election, we take the lib
ery in the exercise of this right, of addressing you
upon subject in which we ourselves, in company
with very many of the lreemen of Vermont, feel a
deep and powerful interest.
Having seen in correspondence between your
self and sundry individuals of Burlington, in which
you speak of removing the Capitol of the United
States, in certain contingency, (see your letter,
you please,) and this subject, to wit, the removal
of the aforesaid Capitol of the United States, being
one of the utmost magnitude and importance, the
undersigned, fearing that if you should be elected
Governor you might take it into your wool to re-
move the aforesaid Capitol to parts unknown -
as the place of location is " mot mentioned in the
BILL" take this opportunity ofoblanng your views
on this important subject, and we propose the fol-
lowing questions as involving the matter which we
deem of vital importance.
Do you believe, allowing the Capitol to remain
in Washington, its present location, great mora
wrong, a stain upon our national esculcheon dis
grace to humanity, which ough; to be Immediately
corrected by removals
Do You believe that YOU possess the power by
the Constitution TO abolish the aforesaid Capitol
situated in the District of Columbia, and remove il
to Mortified; and if so, do YOU believe YOU oughl
to do it?
| Do you approve of the conduct of the Legisa.

and candor which we believe to be congenia with
your character, you will much obge your fellow

!UP Whatever may be the private character Of
Col. Paine, we think there are other matter with
which the people can interest themselves. His
specuatons in the wool of our farmers; his perfect
aristocracy, and utter want of sympathy with the
great body Of the people Of the State, are topics
that can be talked over 10 good advantage as we
think Further, it cannot be denied but that the
nomination Of Col. Paine was effected by the un-
ion Of the two great federal cliques Of the State,
Burlington and Woodstock; and that too, in oppo-
sition to the wishes of the great body of the wings
themselves The democratic portion of the wing
party, have by this movement been most essentially
humbuggcd They, with all their professions of
democracy, must now support an out and out fed
eralist, from the purest blue family in the State
If they are prepared 10 do this, why, then let them
do it, but let them say no more about their de-
mocracy.

A TAX on TEA, COFFEE, SUGAR, MO-
LASSES AND SALT.!!

We do moi remember more bare-flced aud vii
famous proposition than that of the Federal Wings
in Congress- to tax the poor people Of this country
90 per cent. on tea, coffee, &c. in order to make
up the deficiency in the revenue to be occasioned
by the distribution Of the public lands!
The whole scheme is so full Of garing moral and
political abandonment, that we are surprised our
opponents with all their cunning would venture
upon it even in fit Of desperation. We can only
account Tor it upon the principle that they think
they have cotton the people OF the United States in
their tos-bound hand and foot-and are conf
dent that do what they will, attempt what they
may, however outrageous, however ridiculous, the
public mus, submit
What n state of things, when our citizens are 10
be thus treaed-thus cajoled-thus defrauded and
banboozled 10 their veiy faces by their represent
taiyes, without the ability to visit the authors Of
the insult with their Indignation! Only think of
first making the people Of the States present Of
three millions year in the shape of public lands,
and then Immediately afterwards imposing TAX
of fire millions year upon them in the shape of
an increase of price on such absolute necessaries as
tea, coffee, sugar, molasses and salt!
This is the affection the Wings feel for the poor.
They call tea and coffee "luxuries," and think
that no man has a right TO indulge in them! None
hut the rich they imagine have right 10 drink tea
None but the arisiocraiic RICH, TO taste coffee!
This is Wing logic. What will our hardy indus
trials think of this Are they ready to submit
Are they ready 10 hug the chains, and fall again at
the footstool Of their Federal masters Or will
they assert their brlhright Of independence, and
compel aristocra,lc rulers TO acknowledge that
the poor form the majority Of our citizens, and as
such choose TO legslnte for the benefit nj the many
and not for the exclusive comfort and advantage oil
the few '-Phiia. Ttme.

PASSAGE OF THE BANK BILL.

PASSAGE OF THE BANK BILL.
The action of the House of Representatives to-
day, was on the bill to incorporate the subscribers
TO Fiscal Bank of the United States The bill,
after numerous attempts to amend, without sue
cess, passed as it was sent from the Senate by a
vote of 1873 to 81.
We shall now see what the President will do.
We have always been of opinion that we shall
hare Bank, and we think the democracy may be
prepared for it, There is, indeed ray of hope,
but the ray is too small TO look after with much
assiduiiy If the President sanction the bank,
then, REPEAL is the word, and to the balot-box
we go with the BANNER OF REPEAL floating

SwARrwour's arrival in New York, has crea-
ted quite sensation among the federalists; and by
their attentions to him, they seek to emulate the
clemency Of the government, which has ordered
the District Attorney to quash all proceedings a.
yainst him. Unfortunately, there is no law by
which such gentry can be punished for their ro-
guery-the mal-appropriation of the government
funds being only breach Of trust. The lndepen-
dent Treasury law contains provisions for the pun
ishment Of such scoundrels by fine and imprison-
ment; but this the federals,s are about to repeal,
