The New York Journal Of Commerce has
the following sound precautionary remarks,
which ought not to be overlooked in the pre-
vailing excitement:
A cool examination Of the facts in the
case will help men to make better caleula-
tons. They have an idea that gold grows
in California, and is to be had for the
scraping. without rejecting upon the con-
contains.
Let US suppose hundred thousand men
at The plaoers, and that each Of them has
amassed one-tenth part Of the smallest sum
be hoped for when he started--lor we take
it no man dreams of less than hundred
thousand. One hundred thousand men,
then having each dug. say eighty-four lbs.
Of gold dust, (Troy-weight,) which at an
average Of ten dollars an ounce for good
and poor, will be about ten thousand dol.
lars-we should have thousand millions
Of gold thrown into circulation Immediately,
an amount which would decrease the value
Of gold in the world at least one-half. This
is no idle assumption.
Now we do not mean to say this will take
place. On the contrary, we do not as YET
see any reason for surprising that gold is to
be much cheaper in our day than il now is;
but we state the case in order to show what,
after all, would be the effect Of the realisa
ton Of ons-tenth part Of the expectation:
of men for the year 1S49. Add to this
the probability that FIVE hundred Thousand
persons will be in California within two
years, (if the gold should continue as COLDER
as now,) and then consider what reasonable
prospect there is Of their expectations beinl
fulfilled, and how the fulhlmen. Of then
would disappoint themselves in the end.
A word as to the accounts which we ar,
receiving from California daily. Our read
ers will have seen the statement which W,
published from the Evening Post Of thu
result Of an assay Of twenty ounce lumI
Of ''gold' bought for s140 in San Fran
cisco. Whether this case is as stated o
not, it is notorious thar the sulphuret o
iron which is found all over this section o
country mas been found in large quantitie
on the west coast. II is commonly known
as FARMERS gold" and abounds in lime
stone formations. 1t is not even valuable
as iron ore, since by no process yet discov
cred can il be made available, Away
evaporating instead Of melting. A shi
, brought homo load Of this ore from th
west coast some years since, 1--WE think
was to New London,) to the great loss {

A bill providing for an alteration in the
Constitution Of North Carolina, 50 as to Sc
cure the right Of equal suffrage to all the
citizens Of that State, passed its second read
ing in the House OF Commons, by vote OF
rs to 20. Under the Constitution, as il
exists at present, the general suffrage Prin-
ciple prevails IN voting fof members OF the

necessary to vote for members Of the SEN

We copy the following brief history of the
movements in Congress for the abolition of
slavery in the District Of Columbia. from
"NOta B'ne" in the COncordia Iatslligencsr:.
"What think you Of the slavery agita.

exira-awiul. He is not the first man who

solution for COMMITTEES .sto inauire into
the traffic in slaves, iEsthe Bistficf, and for
Legislative measures 40 put a stop.io the
same" II was adopted without division.
On the 18th December, 1927, MIR. Barney,
of Maryland, offered memorial for the
restriction Of slavery in the District, which,
on his motion, was ordered TO be printed.
MIR. McDufhe, Of South Carolina, objected
70 the printing. but expressly admitted the
right Of Congress, ''to grant the people of
the District any measures which they may
deem necessary to free themselves from
this deplorable evil!'' On the 9th Janua-
ry, 1929, Mr.. Minor, OF Pennsy lvania,
offered a resolution insructing the Com. |
mittee on the District to inquire into the ex-
pediency of abolishing slavery within the
same. And the vote was, ayes ia, nays
&C! Mr.. Mark Alexander, of Virginia,
reported, in substance, that slavery could

committee likewise reported bill, declar.

by 1900 Of the citizens of the Districts1
was presented, praying for the abolition OF
slavery there, and the project was decided

Mr.. John Tyler, then Senator from Viz.

coded the right Of Congress : abolish sla-

slave-owners therein. y
The first approach know Of to the proper

As the model milliner rises in the world,
a confusion Of tongues, like the Tower Of
Babel, attends her growing eminenoe. Her
knowledge Of English becomes more French
every day, until at last her dialect, like the
British Channel, belongs to neither England
nor France, but is continually running be-
tween the two. She talks like Madame
Celeste, which makes it very difficult to un-
derstand her, unless you have had course
Of six private boxes at the Adelphi. A
similar metamorphosis takes place in her
name and door-plate. Mrs. Todd is changed
to Madame Toddee, and her shop is called
a 'Magazin de Foupeaules, or, at least, a
Depot, and circulars inform the curious,
that Madame Toddee ia de Paris (oi

ANTIRENT MovEMENTs.-The Albany Free
holder says that the tenantry of George Clark in
Montgomery county have made him the fair and just
proposition that if he will not take any advantage
of the power he possesses, by the unequal laws OF
landlord and tenant to harrass them with litigation
and burden them with expense, they will pay him
the rent when due on all lots, the leases of which
have not expired, and on those which have expired,
(Which are six or seven in number,) they will pay
him the interest of the purchase money demanded
by him for right Of soil. This Mr.. Clark acknow-
lodges to be just and fair but refuses to enter into
any such arrangement.
The tenantry of the Hardenburgh Patent are
about to call general convention of the several
Associations in the county, for the purpose of form
ing general organization in order 10 raise fund
to employ counsel to carry more vigorously forward
the suit commenced by the Attorney General to
test the validity of the Hardenburgh title.
