COMMUNICATION WITH TIE ~.

ClFlC.-The Madisonian after noticing
the difficulties and delays attending the
communication with the Pacific, Says
We are much pleased 10 understand
that this subject has, for some time past,
engaged the attention Of the Secretary
of the Navy, and that he has determined
TO apply a remedy TO the evil as far as
his power and authority extend. We
are just informed that he is preparing
certain Of the small vessels oftha Navy,
such as arc unfit for distant cruising, for
service in the Gulfof Mexico. lie pro
poses that one Of these vessels shall
leave Pensacola on or about a partlcu
lar day in each month, and sail direct To
Chagres; and, in like manner, one OF
them shall leave Chagres on or about a
particular day in each month and sail di
rect TO Pensacola. The intermediate
time will be employed in cruising in the
Gulf and Caribbean sea in the usual
course Of their duty. Thus the ordina
ry service will not be materially intor-
ruPted, while an opportunity will be az
forded for the transmissions OF public
dispatches and private letters with cor.
iainty, and in one fourth the time now
usually required. 1t is ascertaincd, as
we are informed. that arrangements
will be made for the speedy transmission
of all letters, &c. between Chagres and
Panama, rs soon as it shall be known
t1at a proper communication is estab
lished between the former place and the
United States.
1t is probable that a similar arrange
meHt will be made for a more certain and
direct intercourse between Pensacola
aud Vera Cruz.
The advantages ofsuch arrangements
are too obvious to need any proof. They
will be fell not only by the Government,
but by every merchant concerned in the
tiade Of those countries. There cannot
be a more useful mode Of employing d
few Of the small vessels Of the Navy
which, while they are exactly adap ed
TO this service, are Of very little use ih
any other.

Throw IN the election OF 1910. Ii was
that Bank which made the suspension. and
created the distress, and furnished the prin.
clpal part of the means for the carousas
and frauds which dsgraced that election:
and now he is the selected object against
which all the old adherents of the Bank
direct the concentrated energies of all their
power.
The reform of the currency has been
felt to be sacred duty by the democratic
party, and much has been done by the
Jackson and Van Buren, administrations TO
accomplish it. The old standard has been
corrected, and that metal restored to circu-
latlon: the laws against the circulation of
various foreign silver coins have been re-
pealed, and the importation of silver has
vastly increased: the mint has been branch
ed, and now gives the South and West the
beneht OF its coinage the National Bank
has been put down which collected from
the States, and shipped to England, forty
two millions of hard dollars in twenty
years: the Independent Treasury was estab-
llshed, which made the divorce between
Bank and State, and brought gold and sill.
yer to the United States from all foreipn
countries and distributed it through the
whole Union by making it the sole currency

Of receipt and payment in all payments to
and from the Federal Government. Liza
blity of stockholders the suppression of
small notes, and bankrupt law against
bankrupt banks, were further reforms in
the currency which the democracy con-
templated; but here the aid of the State

felt thanks to the present Cove 80 ',e -
State, and the members of the Genera
Assembly who co.operated with him, for
their wise and patriotic exertions to check
the Importation of the base paper by
which the farmers, and the ahoring classes
of the State, have been pundered of mil
lions. / question whether the loss to these
classes on the importation of rotten bank
paper, from the Coon box establishment
in Cairo, up to the Great Red Harlot in
PhiladeIpha) has not been more than
equal to all their receipts from the expor-
tatIon of their crops; and their industry
thus nullifed, and their labor brought to
nought, for want of adequate laws to pro-
tect them from the depreciation Of import
ed rotten paper. To MeSSrs. Jackson, of
Howard, and Huston, of Lincoln, my
thanks are particularly due for their re-
spective bills and meritorious exertions on
this subject. ...
Wishing you, gentlemen, all happiness
and prosperity, and hoping for the good
cause Of democracy a safe deiverance

in our State, remain your obliged fellow
