but paper credit, and this, too, subject
to the fluctuations and losses above de-
scribed. TO show, at a glance, what
these losses are, have before me re.
port of the Secretary of the Treasury,
FEB. 18th, 184l,) made to the U. s.
Senate, in which (page l4) is state.
ment Of the losses to the people, since
1889, through banks and the use of bank
paper; and the aggregate of this loss,
by bank failures, suspensions, notes des-
troyed, counterfeits, and sacrifices OF
property by fluctuations in currency is
computed at three hundred and SIXTY
fve millions four hundred and ffy-one
thousand dollars,
/ So long as the people continue this
system so long, in my judgment, they
will continue to be taxed by it more
severely than by all the other modes of
taxation 10 which they are subjected,
by state or nation. II is system OF
false credit, too unfounded in its basis;
too dangerous and delusive--and in the
end, ruinous, by always exactlng more
than it gives. The wholesome and
solid credit, between man and man,
founded on means. integrity, and fair
enterprise, would, in my opinion, pro-
duce, in the end, more substantial, in.
dividual and material wealth, develope
more safely and surely, the resources Of
this great country; and be, in all re-
spects, more congenial to the habits of
our people-to the equal and general
distribution of property-to the ad-
vancement of democratic Institutions,
and to the prosperity and happiness Of
our common country.

spect, Your obedient servant.

SIR:-l have the honor to acknowl-
edge the receipt of your letter, from
Columbus, of the 9th ult., containing
the resolutions Of the Convention, held
in Columbus on the 9th Of January.
On behalf of the committee, you re-
quest my "views upon the evils of a
paper currency, and the superior ad-
vantages of gold and silver-the con-
stitutional currency"
The American people have, by this
time, suffered enough from the perni-
cions and demorallzing influence of a
paper currency, and could add but
little TO the common stock of knowl-
edge, were | to enter into a detailed
account of the practical workings of
the system, and the inevitable evils that
grow out of it. 1t has always BENNY
opinion, that the whole system of in
corporated banking, whether for the
United States, or for the states them
selves, was an unfortunate departure
from the letter and spirit oi our Consti-
tuition. ."
1t now remains with the people to
restore the circulation provided by the
G Constitution, and to abolish a curren-
cy which is never a just standard, and
Of no value.
1t is interviewer with every transac.
ton of the community. No man, how
ever humble, but that he is daily ex-
posed to its unequal exactlons. The
of the wealthy, and the labor
of the poor, are subject to its influence,
and entangled in its meshes.
lam, sir, with respect,
SIMON ca AMERON.

rency, and chartered special privileges,
and requesting my opinions and views
in reference to the principles therein
contained, is now before me; andin an
swer to your inquiry, have no hesi-

banking interpretations with power to
issue paper promises as currency,
were nova new question for the peo-
pie to determine in their sovereign ca
pacity, or through representatives cho-
sen for that purpose, 1 have no doubt
thatthe whole democracy Of the. Union,
and d large portion Of the thinking men
ofall parties, would concur In the opin-
ion which, hold to be the sound one
on this subject: that the state legisla-
lures have no power, directly or indi-
rectly, TO create or authorize issues of
paper currencies by their own act, or
through the medium OF banking incor-
porations. g esass5 av i,s'a

Vol. III. No. 9.
GENERAL HOUSTON.

The Columbia, Tenn, Observer re-
lates the following scene. connected
with the remarkable history Of this man:
When Gen. Houston abdicated the
office of Governor Of this State, he left
his home eschewed civilized life, and
sought new home and a new wife
among the Indians in the Far west,
whore he lived for some years. On
his return to Nashville there were none;
perhaps only one person-who treated
him otherwise than with neglect or
contempt, SO low had the wheel of for-
tune, or rather desoute life turned him.
He was now in Indian costums-at
least he wore the cap, hunting shirt and
moccasins. This was his second love.
Stung, no doubt, with modification
Tor this cold neglect of some and open
contempt of others, he bore himself
with equal Indifference towards the
community in which he had lived once
high in office. And when about to
leave Nashville, with an object that
was then unthought of, or esteemed
visionary, but which was full OF conse-
quence, he passed along the street to
the landing, bearing rifle on his shoul-
der. unheedipg as he was honored ex-
cept by the curiosity Of the multitude.
Taking his position upon the deck of
the boat which was about to convey
him from the field of shame TO one of
glory, at least in the eyes Of the mass,
he rested his rifle upon the deck locked
his arms, and leaned his tall and ele-
CANT figure against the pilot house to
await the departure OF the boat. At
this strange proud being, the curiosity
ofthe crowd that had assembled at the
landing changed to admiration, and as
the boat rounded off, three cheers for
Houston were given; but mute and mo-
tionless he returned neither look nor
nod. Another round followed, but his
face was turned to the s'Hals of the
Montezumas," and his back to the city
in which he was yet to be hailed as "the
hero OF San Jacinto." 0 Fortune! thou
art an arrant-.

Mans PREJUDIcEs.--To combat will,
a mans prejudices, no matter wheth-
or in love, religion or philosophy Of
life, is greater folly than to fight a
windmill giant. Most men could as
soon be convinced that they could
change the features Of their faces, as
their preconceived opinions. They
can advance sufficient reasons why
they should believe as they do, but
could hardly imagine cause whythey
should change without the supposition
Of impossible contingencies. And yet
they all know that change is inscribed
upon every human emotion and hope!

a4s BY THEoPHILUs. 9.
I love to wake upon summer morn H. N y.
And view the diamond glittering ON the spray,
Or hear the thrush, seated on fow'ry thorn,
Singing glad hymns to welcome in the day;
! love the grassy meadow lately shorn,
And aromatic sweets from new-mown hay;
But better far. than these, love the swell
That strikes my ear, Ginning from Sabbath bell.
Idearly love the fairy feet to trace @
ot children sporting on the dewy lawn,
Ito see the mother, with natron grace.
Watching their healthful glee)- as tmid fawn
And yet Hove to gaze in beauty's face,
All! fondly--sadly do look upon
But better much, and sweeter, I is to tell,
The notes Of music from the Sabbath bell.
AndI am pleased, oft in the evening still,
To list to hum Of labor.loving bee, et
Or the unvarying note of whip-poor-will,
Orsighto Of vapors rising from the sea;
In waking morn to hear the warning shrill
From noisy cock, too, hath charm tor me;
] love all these, but better-better far,
The transient glory Of yon shooting star.
Osweet is word Of love in maiden's ear
'Tis ever rapturous, joy-imparting sohg--
And sweet is music, in the op'ning year, ~
From gladsome blrds--a gay and happy throng,
And have not allrejoiced, sometime. to hear
The voice offriend d-unseen-- long
There is voice and music none can smother,
Which drops from lips of one-the sainted mother.
Music dwells in the wild, rough ocean roar, nj
When storms are raging on the vastly deep,
Whose bounding waves crash on the sullen shore,
Or raging high, appear the clouds to sweep,
orbsttling the hard rock. tall. hanging Ger,
Thatfor their raging fury seems to weep,
And lies upon the beach, untouched and lone,-
The soul Of music. IT is the sea-shells moan.
And music lives within the soughing wood,
Whose trembling leaves, hard-shaken from the
By mighty winds, droop DER the boiling flood,
As II TO lull it into blissful rest;
And music-lke do sound the voices rude
OF chidhood's early days, the first and best,
And soothing is the sound of falling rain,
OF gurgling brooks, wd-hasting to the plain.
o sweet to hear the fond, responsive note,
OF lark to lark, or plantiye, mourning dove,
Or robin tuning oft his mellow throat,
And the kind welcome of the one we love;
Or when, at eve, angelic voices float
From forest fair, to beckon US above, .sgs
And music is in sadly.pleasing sigh,
OF parting friends-and In the last " good bye"
o Joy to wander forth in stlly night,
Through many meadow drest 10 vernal green,
Or newly-reaped fields, in summer bright,
Or autumn's ripper days of sable sheen,
When Orion's beams, or Luna's paIy light,
Are smiling down on th' ove.inspiring scene;
Who lives there, but as wand'ring thus abroad,
Must feel the living presence of his God.

| A BUFFALO TALE.-l had q friend
in the Indian country who was a rare
narrator, but suspected of embellish-
ment. He never failed in story. He
was genius. No matter. what the
incident, he could relate it so as to be .
intensely interesting, or. irresistibly
amusing. He had one buffalo tale, as
tough as any, that he used to tell with
a naivette and earnestness, that made
Us forget its improbable features,
"One morning, when was in the
Blackfoot country" he would say, ~
went out accompanied by an old Span
ish hunter. 1--WE call the Mexicans all
Spaniards, you know to get few
buffalo steaks; and seeing an old bull
asleep, took fancy to have ride,
without saddle or bride. So crept
up, and springing on his back
"The devil'-we would exclaim.
"And off he went, full tilt, toward
a small bottom prairie, the Spaniard
running after as fast as he could"
"And you on his back,'w would ask. 4
Yes sir--fact--and | kept beating
him with my gun stick, on the side OF
the head, until his course became cir
cular, and he made several tours of the
little prairie. ] could easily have killed
him with my knife, but wanted to
show the Spaniard, who had run to the
middle of the prairie, some feats Of
horSemanship, as he kept walking round
like the ring master Of circus. At
length we came within about two hun
dred yards of the Spaniard.
"'Shall | shoot?' he bawled out.
"sNo,' said !, 'wait a little
$50 we kept on, tail up, at a high
run, until ! brought him within about
one hundred yards Of my companion.
"Now,' said /, 'let him have it,,
"'In what partr
"sBehind the foreshoulder!'
"Well,' said he, raising his rife,
'hold up your leg!n"
Then, after our astonishment had
been sufficiently expressed, he would
assure us that the Spaniard brought
the bull down pursuant to order; and he
had an old pair of elkskin breeches, rip
ped on the neither edge of one leg by
a bullet, which he need to assure us
were the Identical breeches he wore on
that occasion.
I" And you see, sir" he would add,
81 didn'tholdmy leg quite high enough"
