"THE PAPER MONEY PATRY.n

The Globe denounces all men and journals
that do not follow its lead, in its attacks on the
Exchequer Bill, as belonging to the "pdper
money party" 1t processes a desire to have
things 90 on just as they are now-no Bank, no
Exchequer. Well, suppose they do. Will the
Globe and its friends be content to take the obi
UNI? Wethnk not There is a mountain Of odium
growing up at this moment, that will overwhelm
the guilty. The Administration has labored,
is striving, and will continue to exert itself to
bring about better currency. Its first attempt
failed by being stranged in the Senale-we al
lude to the suppression of Mr.. Ewing's Bill.
The next was assaulted by Mr.. Benton. The
Globe desires matters TO rest as they are, be-
cause its party is ''out," and the country is
bleeding at every pore. So we go. II will be
seen in the end who were the mischief makers,
and who the honest men.

PEACE OR WAR.

There appears to be great difference of
opinion between gentlemen as 10 the PROBABLE
tiles of war, with some foreign nation or
other. On the one hand it is insisted by some,
that hostilities cannot take place; while, on the
other, there exists confident belief that long
continuance of peace is impossible. AS for our
selves we do not like either of these extreme
opinions, and content ourselves with thinking
that the country should be placed in condition
to render either alternative matter Of second
airy moment. We do not approve Of overween-
ing confidence as regards the continuance of
peace because it is calculated TO make the
People Indifferent on the scoe of our national
defences, and thus hold out to other nations in
ducements to attack us. Nor do we approve of
what is called the war spirit, because it may
hurry us into difficulties without forming a
proper estimate of the consequences. Under a
well regulated government there should never
exist necessity for great and hurried prepare
tons for hostilities, inasmuch as there should
always be certain state Of readiness, requiring
only moderate increase of defences in the
event of sudden difficulty. ''In peace to pre-
pare ior war, is an excellent maxim, and the
nation that wisely al plies it to practice will find
in it the very best preservative of amicable re-
ations with foreign powers. There appears to
be propensity among nations, as well as among
individuals to trample down and impose upon
the weak, and the country that from false no.
tons of economy will permit its means of re-
sistance to fall into state of unre adness, will
find that in the end there will be necessity for
mourning accumulated expenses, under circum-
stances which will render the outlay immeasu-
rably great in proportion to the protection pro-
cured 1t may be said that this continued state
of readiness must Of itself involve heavy ex-
pense, and there can be no doubt that such

GENTlLITY..

True gentty has been said to consist in good
sense under the direction of good feeling, and per-
haps better definition could not have been found al
though it may appear general in its cha
acter 1t is much easy to tell what gentility is
not than what it is. In the opinion of some, it
slss in being fashionaby dressed but, if such
the case, every idle coxcomb would be termed gen.
tleman an application of the name clearly at vari-
ance with all experience and correct observation -
Others would have to believe that gentity made
OF hoyday phrases, newly and dried and softly lsped
forth by bpeds wearing white kid gloves queerly cut
coats stained mustachios and soap locks, studously
arranged to hide the of the wearers. To admit
The correctness of such notion would be to place all
sensible people under the ban and exclude from good
society any approach to propriety and good sense
Another portion of mankind would tell U.S. that to be

else because our ancestors happened to ride in
rages when their neghbors walked, and were never
capable Of any exeition ply sica moral intellectual
whereby the happiness comfort of their kind was
in the slightest degree promoted How far this view
of the matter is correct will leave be decided by
the histories of those who have founded empires and
left behind them everlasting renown for works of be-
nevolence. There who say that gentty

pheasant, and suPping cucumber. Ii this

not agree to any Of these definitions, will venture

laws Of the land. Nor will J. in reviewing that OPT

whether the e1action Of the legal postage of IS cents
shall increase or diminish the income Of the Depart

port will seek other channels Of communication than
the United States mail, in the least deter me from
looking this question full in the face Still less am
affected by the threat to the postmaster at Lock
port to recover back the postage which may have been
collected 1t is more than probable that "the legal

prove to be satisfa Glory to all parties. 1t will

will doubtless justify the course pursued That
