We have been asked several times this
winter what our legislature was doing,
but we have all along evaded answering
these questions BY saying that in few
days they should see, but we can withhold
40 longer, for they have done nothing, they
are doing nothing, and is very likely they
will remain there few weeks longer lis,
tening to fewjack-leg lawyers who have
kept the house in confusion by spou,ing a.
way for the space of half day at time
upon some subject of no importance what
ever to the people. The fact IS the Treas
urer said there was or would be in short
time pretty considerable quantity of
money in the Treasury, and they are de.
termined to hang on until they get the last
dime in the treasury and then come home
and tell US that they have accomplished
great things, when the fact is they have
done nothing but drain our treasury, and
we believe that is the sole object thew
aimed at from the first.

The New York Mirror adverting to
the present imbecile condition OF
Mexico, says that that empire was
evidently crumbling to pieces, and ex-
presses the opinion that the only way
in which her speedy downfall can be
aver,ed,is by throwing herselfinto the
arms of some greater power. The
editor asks if there be any law in the
practice ofnations to prevent her fol-
lowing the precedent Of Texas, and
placing her under the control Of some
foreign power, which shal offer its

Gold Dallar.


Gold Dollar.
We highly approve of the move
ment made by Judge Douglass to min.
gle with the currency Of our country
that elegant and never depreciating
coin, the gold dollar.
This coin has been long known in
the hard money countries ofthe world.
We have seen it in Turkey about the
size Of a dime, yet much thinner; and
have considered it the very best rep.
resentation of value in existence. 1t
is there put into roleaux oftifty pieces,
occupying the space Of small cigar,
and packed in little perfumed purses
for the ladies and the higher orders
Of society. Such coin could be re.
mitted under seal from one end of
the country 10 the other, and would
be vast improvement upon the pre-
sent currency. We trust the Com
mlttee Of Ways and Means will see
to this matter. When a vast amount
Of these valuable coins shall be thrown
into circulation, they will drive out
the small bills that serve to Danish
specie from the every day currency of
the country. Such dollar would
not be boarded up in banks or private
repositories; out would for ages circu-
late without loss by abrasion, coin
for the people.-U S. Journal.
The English journals devoted to
the advocacy ofFree Trade principles
speak in terms of the highest admra-
ton of Mr.. McDuffie's letter. They
say, they are glad to perceive that he
entertains full confidence in the deter
mination Of President Polk's Admins.
tration to carry out the principles
upon which he was elected in opposi-
tion to Mr.. Clay. They arc of opin-
ion that Mr.. McDuffie is armed at all
points against the insidious opponents
of commercial freedom and that the
cause Of free trade in his hands is en-.
trusted to the best and safest custody.
The concluding eloquent reflections
Of the letter are cordially responded
to. Our readers have seen them be-
fore but they will bear repeating, as
they truly predict what coming events
will before long reaIize.-N O. Jeff
ersonian.
''lt is apparent that the days ofmo-
nopoly and commercial restriction are
numbered in all the civilized nations
of the earth. Even in Great Britain
so long held up to us by our monopo-
lists as an example for imitation-all
parties now concur in the principles
of Free Trade, and differ only as tc
the time and manner Of reforming an
cient restrictions and abuses. And
permit me 10 say, that the day that
shall witne IS the downfall Of CONNER.

Of Tree trade among the nations OF the
earth, will be the greatest and mos

and peace Of the nations than an,

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 81, 1886.
We have had several Of our subscriber,

We have had several Of our subscribers
to comRain Iately Of the irregularity in
which yey receive their papers. We do
know one thing very certain, tha, the fault
is not with the post master in this place
for we know tha, he is very attentive TO his
duty. Mr.. Wootan, one Of our subscribers
whose paper is mailed regularly every
week 10 Spring Cottage post Office, Ma
rion county, says that it is often the case
that he does not receive the Journal fol
six weeks after it is published. There is
some negligence on the part Of some one
of the post masters south of this place, and
we hope that in future they will be more
attentive to their business and not let us
hear any more complaints, for such things
are very annoying 10 us.
The Southern journal., 1846-02-21

We have seen the proposals for carrying
the mails, and as usual our county is again
cut of from all mail facilities. We think it
hard case, that the Post Master General,
after having been informed several times
by oar post master and a,large portion Of
the citizens of the county, ofthe inconven.
fence under which we labor, should treat
US with so much injustice. We would
suggest that petition be got up, signed by
the citizens Of The county generally, and
sent to one Of our representatives in Con-
gress, and we have not the least doubt but
we shall succeed.
